Hey thank you for sharing... I also feel grateful that we live in a time where more and more men are allowing themselves to open up, heal, and love fearlessly/authentically. Feels like the collective human consciousness is evolving in a lot of ways. Much love
Five years ago today, I woke up in a hospital bed, paralysed from the waist down. The journey since then has been beyond my wildest expectations. Ryan, your videos have been a source of inspiration recently. If you're interested, I've shared some of my experiences in a recent video. I know you’re probably super busy, but maybe you’ll take a peek. Either way, thank you for all the awesome videos you make ❤
Just checked it out a subscribed.... you are a warrior brother. You are making this world a better place in so many ways.. Thank you for your work and your beautiful energy. Sending love your way
i genuinely hope your videos get the views they deserve but at the same time i want those views to deserve your videos. the ability you have to create quality content while still seeing through me (and us) and the struggles is shockingly amazing. thank you
So real. So raw. I wish TH-cam had more channels like this, or rather - I wish for this channel to have mainstream appeal. You could really have a large impact in modern day society, I personally know tons of guys that would benefit greatly from hearing what you have to say.
I'll be honest man, I turn my computer on every single time I see one of your videos and play it through. I don't always watch 'em. But I let it run through on my YT account from beginning to end so at least as far as I'm concerned, YT sees a 100% click thru rate and 100% watch time rate. Supporting how I can lol! You've got a mission
Enjoy what you are doing! I deal with this exact topic and just listening to someone else speaking about it from a place of experience shines some light on the fact that we are not alone and that even just a video like this one can feel like we are in the same room being honest with ourselves as the video plays and it has helped me to have a deeper understanding of who I am!! Thank you and I wish u the best!!
Dude I absolutely love these car chats Ryan! Great stuff man. I have definitely struggled with cognitive dissonance and keeping my true feelings and intentions to myself. It’s something I’m still working on as well. Sometimes when I’m out and around friends or whatever, I find myself bottling up my emotions and putting on a smile on my face. It’s quite literally that meme where they have the mask with the smiling face on it but right behind it is him frustrated 😅. Of course I understand that sometimes it’s better to filter yourself but even with friends I just have a hard time calling them out on things that aren’t cool. a fairly recent example being that I met up with a friend at the gym that I hadn’t seen in 2 years, got there and he was surprised to see me but the whole time barely acknowledged me, I just kinda went with it when I probably should’ve called him out but just didn’t. Love ya Ryan and God bless ❤.
Ryan, I came across your videos around a month ago, and I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy listening to your wisdom and self-reflection. I have continuously tried to change my life, motivated by the grandiose dreams that fill my head, but I end up paralysed by my own inaction. I'm striving for that alignment/congruence between the two that you talk of, and hope to get there one day and realise all my dreams. The Conscious Men Community sounds like a fantastic idea, I could sure do with the accountability.
Glad I saw this comment, I really appreciate that man... and I would encourage you to check out the community. The level of support in there is unbelievable and it seems to be only attracting very self-aware, kind, genuine men who are eager to grow and help each other. It's beautiful to see. Maybe I'll see you in there and we can talk more in a zoom call. Much love
This is an old account sorry about the name But that part at the end genuinely brings me close to tears every time I hear it and I just wanted to say thank you and god bless
Wishing I had enough money to join!! But more seriously I understand why it has to be the price it is- if it was too low you’d have a lot of people join but NOT be committed or taking it seriously. Maybe one day I’ll be able to join though Much love
You hit it on the head brother... it takes quite a bit of time, energy, and resources to keep the community going. Fortunately the youtube content will always be free... and I will provide as much free valuable content as I can. Much love
But this channel deserves to blow up , I’m kinda upset it’s not. Thank you for your time and efforts in putting out this content ! Wishing your personal life and this channel love and prosperity!
Thank you for considering the homeless, cuz I Am struggling with this issue now, as I work on to better my mentality my patience & physics. I am doing constant work
I see you brother... Stay strong. You are being forged in this difficult season to be the man you are meant to be. I know it's not easy, but you are stronger than you know. You will look back someday soon with gratitude.
Hey brother, I think it's really brave of you to tell the story of you out with a girl and a homeless man asking you for money. I think what you said there is very relatable. I actually have a kind of similar story, with my ex there was a homeless women sitting outside Walmart saying "please" as people walked by. I instantly reached into my pocket to give money and my wife subtlety grabbed my hand and pulled me to keep walking. I had to hold back tears in this moment. When we got to the car she explained that if you give money, they will spend it on drugs which I understand you could be funding to un alive that person. Idk, something about it tugged at my heart strings, I thought, what if I was in her situation? To be honest, I don't know what the right answer is, whether it's right or wrong to give homeless money. I've never been in their situation. All I know is that I stopped giving money for a long time after that happened. And since I've been single, I've started again. So I guess not doing that was a misalignment with how I truly feel about the situation. The way I think of it - my boss gives me money that I need to survive but he doesn't ask me what I am spending it on. I too, could secretly have bad addictions and maybe no one would know? (I don't I'm just saying)
Hey Mikey, I see you brother. Keep posting videos and practice speaking to the camera, repetition is the only way to get better at it. Envisions that you are talking to one individual, your best friend who you care about but someone who also cares about you too... You got this. Keep refining and shoot to make each video 1% better.
Great video and well said! We really need to face this issue individually, then as a society. A lot of deeds are being done but LOVE is not the TRUE driving force. Let us all reflect and make sure we are moving from a pure place. Great message man!
This video came to me as a blessing from The Lord. I always get recommended peoples videos who I am not subscribed to and get meaning from it. Meaning that moves me one from step ahead in righteousness. Thank you so much for being the way you are. Earned a subscriber today :). What your saying also sounds like the same teachings of the gospel, just simplified and easier to understand and relate to. If you havent already Id recommend you try researching Christianity. It changed my life.
Really appreciate the talk. Some things just connect deep inside. I wish I could join the community, but I haven't quite started earning that much, and the conversion to my country's currency comes out pretty high. Sidenote: The music at the end was so good! I searched for half an hour trying to find it, and then checked the description, and was pleasantly surprised it was yours. Props!
Totally understand brother... and no worries there. More vids coming soon, and that will always be free and a way to see that other men are on the same journey. You are not alone
I know this is going to be so cliche but have you tried being on American Idol! You will win the hearts of everyone! Bro seriously you have so much to share to say to sing to inspire, don’t sell yourself short!!!!!
i still don't know if i am doing cognitive dissonance of this kind but I feel people around me have done this and I don't think I have ever done this at least in this year.I believe I am walking on right path.... Anyway it's nice to be self aware
Did you feel a lot of fear when getting into the 3 gram dose range of mushrooms? I’ve worked up to this point but the fear is so hard to get over. If you had fear how did you get past it?
man, I get it that, making a small community is good but what about the people living in other country where even 25$ is more. Like for example in INDIA 25$ is 1500 rupees which is quite a lot if you could lower the price or increase the price every 50 member by 4 to 5 bucks, it will be pretty nice. I will be better than doubling the amount. Also love your video, plz keep them making :)
Thanks for the feedback brother... I've definitely been taking that into consideration. WE've surpassed 50 members and I've hesitated to raise the price because I want it to be accessible - Just need to figure out how to keep it manageable and personable so it remains effective for everyone in the community. Figuring it out. Much love
It shocks me everytime but your belief system literally aligns with Islam. Every video I watch. In this one, what stuck out especially to me was the motivation behind your kindness. “Is it because people are looking me?”. This is something we are taught in Islam. Your intentions and the purity of them. We don’t get the good deeds if we performed an act simply for showing off. You have to be sincere. You have to have compassion for others etc
More I grow, more I become old and more I understand how I'm just an animal, a conscious one but at the end still a beast, and I don't say a shadow how Jung says but clearly an addomesticated Beast, addomesticated by the experiences, the culture, the languages and the people's that I've meet. I've recognized the trauma from the childhood but I've comed to the conclusion that only isolation could save myself from the beast that I'm, a beast exposed to today's social algorithms. In the past I was closed to become a priest, just think about that and the only reason about why I've not ended my life how you're Father, was just and only at cause of fortune and the solitude. Today I'm only more conscious of my real inner nature, a survivor. Surely I don't believe in works, human relations etc etc those are only just excuses for eating and consuming others, but only when a man really see the abyss..he could understand that.
The abyss is profound... especially because often times when we go deep enough into the darkness, we can finally discover the light - Keep seeking brother. Sending love your way
dude look at the road not at your camera.. if you end up hitting a kid you'll not have much of an argument in court.. and you think it won't happen but it only takes a second of distraction to end up in a collision

is there a difference between pornography and videos of you and your partner?
@TheConsciousMan143 any chance of a regional discount? I want to join but I am from latin america, so the monthly price tag is a bit more hefty here.
