Dude.
Talking about it
is the first sign
of being a good human being.
It's so true. We all have the devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other. Discipline and stoicism are the only prescriptions. Preach it brother
You need both for survival though.
No lol some of us just have multiple demons sitting on our shoulders and burning blue baby aliens crawling out our intestines.
Big problem when it's a devil on both shoulders. Not a angel to be found.
@MC-qy6fz there's always an angel iys up to you to see the good thing in life an to know when your fucking up or being a yes man
So much wisdom from this legend. We are blessed to have it. And I am thankful.
I appreciate your time here brother🤙🏼
As a former United States Marine and recently retired corrections officer I have dealt with that dark passenger since I was a boy . While working maximum security I met many inmates who let that passenger win !
I like to listen to these talks while mowing the lawn
Man...brotha...you coined this phrase "Dark Passenger" spot on. This isnt the same thing as a "devil on your shoulder and an angel on the other." Everyone has that good and evil about them but the Dark Passenger is a whole different animal and you wont be able to fully relate to this unless you have this trait.
I have this trait, unfortunately. Like you, it comes out when I'm cornered or drunk sometimes. It's right below the surface, always!! This is why it's so important that if you have this Dark Passenger that you do everything positive to keep it in check. Like you said keeping that high vibrational state of mind and physical wellness is key. I have destroyed so much with my Dark Passenger at the wheel of my life. It has been the "go to" state of mind when I am pissed off and served me well in combat. The problem is that the more you let this Dark Passenger keep driving the bus you cant retake the wheel so easily again when your ready and the path of destruction you leave in the wake of that apocalypse can be the worst possible outcome for yourself and especially the targets of that destruction.
Do what you can to mitigate this Dark Passenger. Exercise, stay fit physically and mentally, read and educate yourself on the art of self reflection and meditation, remove yourself from echo chambers or environments that bring out this Dark Passenger, as Tim says keep that high vibrational state. All of these will help you keep this darkness in check. I wish all of you a peaceful and healthy day, week, month and year. Remember, your in charge. Be of good courage and honor.

Brother straight up well said
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the [COSMIC POWERS] over this present darkness, against the [SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES]."
~ Ephesians 6:12 🛸👽😈🐉
I like that.
Nothing is off limits when it comes out! Hurt people hurt people
I like this one. The lord came and paid a debt he didnt owe because we owed a debt we couldn't pay . Just get on the boat heading in the right direction . There will be storms, but you will be good, the lord has already paid. Amen brother !
I know exactly what you’re talking about TCAV. It’s always there, waiting for a moment of weakness. Constant battle in life. Keep ya head up. You’re doing great stuff brother! 🤙🏻
You're a true walking, talking, inspiration. You speak of things that we've had no words for. We need more souls like you on this Earth. May The Most High always bless you with abundance, success, and love. God bless you, and thank you for sharing.
👊🏼🏴
@@One_out_of_144K Taylor is always dropping knowledge. He's been places and going places. 👍
This is the man Wes Watson wishes he could be! Love your channel bro! Very motivational stuff!
Very Interesting. God Bless mate
I have that dark passenger. And I'm doing my best teaching him, growing him into a better person. But he's always there.
Praise God 👏 this could not be more true
Amen. I have to work to stay away from those dark arts daily. I really appreciate your videos. It feels great to know you’re not alone. Us guys isolate.
You got this!
The Incredible Hulk!
You are on a great journey. Congratulations for all your honesty and learning
Yep! I do know because sometimes I fucken explode if I don't put myself in check. I try to remain in a peaceful state, and I've noticed going to mass (church) helps me to gain tranquility and grow in certain virtues such as developing the growth mindset. I appreciate Taylor all that you share on your channel. Blessings Man 💪
Might be the best advice ever. We all have it, and it is wicked. Mine is too much work and self hate. That evil will come out at the worst moment and say, "Let's play." And usually, it is around those closest to you. You are a gift, my man.
That dark passenger is an instrument of total self destruction...
Well said
Im there with yall my dark passenger is evil an scary i struggle with PTSD like you said gotta keep him in check. Your video's have helped me with life an job i pushed for a promotion an got it with your help thank you sir!!! Im always watching your videos to keep level.
I will continue to pray for you on your walk. Get that bastard under control man
For every level there is another devil!
He wants you to think he does not exist.
Great message man! The path less traveled is the way. It’s hard because it’s hard.
Gosh, that is some straight up honesty. And solution, always helpful, composure. I don't have this 'dark passenger' fortunately, but this is still great insight for my life.
Story 52 and coffee, and a serious message going into the weekend. I have that dark horse 🐎 as I like to call it. At 61 you would think that nonsense would be done with.
Stay safe, and make the right choices. This story got me....
I’m 67 and I still can’t beat it down,,
I can put it in a grave buried deep but it rises more than I’d like.
Not a shame just a slice of my personality pie
Dealing with that passenger all week my man. It is absolutely crazy to me that this video popped out this week. This talk is exactly what I needed to hear. As always, thank you!
👊🏼
My boy is back at it again! 💯 all the time everytime! Let’s go T Cav!
LETS GET EM‼️👊🏼🏴
So true Brother.....I have fought him most of my adult life and the fight never ends.....and it's the toughest fight you'll ever have...don't let him win ! Thank you Brother
It’s so true man . The best way I have found to keep it gone is to stay busy , keep myself tired and exhaust my energy and stay home when I have nothing to do . Boredom is what got me into my last problem a year ago where I got completely hammered drove home and crashed my truck into some lady at a stop light . It’s bad with me if I don’t stay busy
Thanks bro 💪 @TCAV TV
You’re helping a lot of people.. cheers
I know him. The itch. The agitation. The hunger that says “just scratch it” and “don’t move on yet.”
“ The Mean Green Machine “ some worst then others . Like a spark , it’s uncontrollable . Before you know it , it’s to late . Keep it in ✅ , you have to work hard . The spirit controls the mind , the heart rules the body. “ Heart and Soul “ You have Heart brother , stay the course . Out Here 👍😎
Appreciate that brother
God gave us both dark and light, but we have a choice ❤ love u brother
👊🏼
Character flaws are what makes us individuals. It's owning up to them and dealing with them that makes us better humans ! Wise words again from Tcav . Keep doing what you're doing 👊🇬🇧
Always have to be on guard for this. Thank you for your honesty!
Always!
We need more workout videos with the tribe. Appreciate you!
Comin on deck!
Amen Brother.
The struggle within has always been the most difficult battle for me.
I fully agree, it has to be hereditary (my Father had it too) & I fully lose control when he emerges.
Seeing Red is no joke and dangerous AF.
It's also been somewhat addictive for me, when Id comes out it can be like an out of body experience. Watching myself from the 3rd person.
I purpose in my heart not to lose composure and break character. It's not in my character to behave according to Id, he is absolutely evil.
Trauma only exacerbates Id and makes him feel justified however hurting others because we've been hurt (other than in Combat) has never turned out good for me.
I call him (Id) the anit-conscience. He is evil AF, purely selfish and a MF.
God Bless Brother & keep up the Good Work.
it's great to hear from like minded people as iron sharpens iron.
I thought that passenger was just a curse of having Sicilian blood. Seriously I really did until this video. I know exactly what you’re talking about. You’re doing great work man.
I’m a Marine born & raised in San Diego. I only mention it cause we grew up in similar surroundings. 100% on everything! Something I realized recently, is I self sabotage a lot myself to cause some excitement in my life when things are going too good. It’s almost as if I get a high from constantly having to start over in a toxic loop. But just like you mentioned in a previous video that I stand by 100% too! If I behave bad I go all the way and if I do good I go all the way I don’t like to half ass my character as a man. This game of life is a marathon for all of us but sometimes we think it’s a race when we compare ourselves to others
Brother it is true when we are peaking we need to be at our most cautious
@@tcavofficial 🙏
Thanks, Taylor! Always great to hear words of wisdom with a “map” for life!
I’m glad you brought this up especially now in today’s world. This is something I struggle with constantly as I think a lot of us do.
At work and what he describes is almost exactly where I'm at right now..vices,habits the thoughts and then this video starts playing...
Email me let's fix this: tcavofficial@gmail.com
I appreciate the inspiration man and the fact you engage in the positive and actually respond to the comment section to motivate the struggling people to do better an to realize that its never over as long as you stay positive an dont give in to your vices an use that to fucking fuel your drive is priceless bro keep up the good work bro
My MAN‼️👊🏼
This resonated on another level brother. I’ve had the “dark passenger” ruin relationships and get me into trouble when, like you said, drinking too much. As I said in one of your videos before, I think it’s something that can be both genetic and engrained by our environment. For instance, in combat arms (I was Army infantry for 6 years) that behavior is applauded and encouraged because you’re taught to be ruthless and meet force with greater force because combat is unforgiving. However, life out here or in personal relationships it just burns bridges. It’s why I avoid conflict now. Even if someone comes off slightly rude to me, I tend to just leave it alone or avoid addressing it because I know just how mean I can be, and that does nothing for me unless I’m in a fight or flight scenario. Of course, those scenarios are extremely rare. This also reminds me of Jordan Peterson when he says “learn to be a monster and then control it.” Great advice as always. Your talks always remind me to stay on the right track to keep improving. Slowly but surely I’m getting better. Keep up the good work brother.
Appreciate you sharing brother
Awesome video Taylor. This is so true.
Dark passenger= diss regulated, according to the shrink, but it’s an out of body experience, unlike any other spot on again, young man, birds of a feather
That's right Frogman. There's a difference between wolves and sheep dogs. Both have fangs, and survival instincts. The wolves will eat the sheep, if the sheep dog has gone astray. Harness that brutality, and use it for good. God Bless you sir!
Never seen either grandfather argue back at my grandmom's. Just thought about it, staying silent was the best comeback .
Good job Taylor!
Just brilliant! love from Prescott, Az
AZ!
Right on, Taylor. Thank you for your bravery and for sharing such a personal issue. I believe that due to Universal Law # 3: The Law of Polarity, both good and evil reside in all of us. Each and every one of us is capable of pure good and pure evil. We can all be either a Hero or a Villain. So which one will emerge? It all depends on which one, the Hero or the Villain within us, we constantly feed and encourage. Once again, thank you for being Real, and for leading by Example!!!
We HAVE to Joel🫵🏻👊🏼🏴
Nice Dexter reference!!!! Dark passenger!
Thank you Sir, I truly obtain alot from your videos. And I can’t thank you enough for your service to our Great Country. Salute brother
Dualism: perpetual battle between good and evil. Gotta recognize the devil in you, to let his thoughts go away
Your timing for posting this and me viewing it is perfect.
Appreciate the candor. We have to learn about ourselves and understand how our brains and bodies work. Theres no excuse not to. Its part of taking responsibility for our lives. If you need to not drink, stop drinking. If you need a strict routine, put one in place. This all starts with being honest with ourselves rather than saying f it.
Well said brother
Now remembering what Lakota Sioux War Chief (sworn to battle all the abuses) told me during a senior lunch over the mountain. He said our dark passenger AKA 'cola', allowed us to recognize it in others. I know one when I see one. He said in their culture, they were to find a small stone, any stone, that would represent this dark passenger. They wrapped it in leather and wear it around their neck so as to carry it with them as reminder. It's placed in a position of sentinel to protect and guard our families/loved ones. The cola stone was removed when entering sweat/circle of trusted ones saying 'Ho cola'. In this way our dark passenger is given a place/job of honor to protect and guard; always removed/not needed among trusted ones.
This really resonates deep with me!! Can totally relate!. Shoutout to bro for dropping the truth bombs!.
🫡🫵🏼💯🤙🏼
👊🏼🏴
I know exactly what you mean, man. When I have multiple breaches of personal accountability, when I allow myself to cross lines verbally, when I accept abuse without dealing with the situation immediately; it starts to come out and I know exactly where it goes with the screaming and crying and cops and chaos. The ONLY way I've found to keep that shit under control is like you said; mindfulness, checking in with yourself, keeping yourself on the path. I'm almost 7 years clean and sober but the behaviors, the emotions; they're still buried deep down.
Can’t stop dark passenger in relationships. You can’t make this up I just patch things up with my brother for the first time in many years and the dark passenger came between us without a doubt time to shine the light with a Little help from my friends #Wisdom
Awesome stuff bro. I am identical to u. Struggle with it a lot. I need to have tons & tons of self talk. When I snap, I see red & God knows what’s going to take place….nothing positive…all negative. Horrific shit. God bless to all on here to keep it in check. Much love brother. Be well.
Being embarrassed or shame for knowing I’m wrong in what I did and being called out on it. Much easier to lash out than take responsibility
Break the glass when needed 🤙🏼
You should have called this episode "Working my dark passage."
Bro, in less than 10 minutes you managed to bring up for me about 100+ memories throughout my entire life. Where I had acted in a way that looking back on those memories it’s like I don’t even recognize the individual I was during those memories, and how could I allow myself to act like that in towards those who loved me the most, and around those who loved me dearly too…. And I’m glad you brought those memories out but also gave that person in those moments the designation of “THE DARK PASSENGER.” I have often considered myself to have won the lottery on the most AWESOME STEPMOM ever! Yet, I have victimized her with my dark passenger (not in any physical form). However, she is such a wonderful person that whenever I go to my dad’s and try to bring up how I will always be in her debt or try to apologize in any way shape or form she just dismisses it with kindness, love, and affection…. It’s like it’s no big deal to her or my dad, and I’ve never realized how they could get over such things that I’ve done in the past in such manner that they acts like it never happened and now I know why… It’s because the 2 of them do not have a dark passenger like I do, and I now also know who I inherited from too thanks to you which allows me to keep an eye out on the two of us and keep ourselves from allowing that dark passenger from coming out… So, I thank you for this post from the bottom of my heart, brother!
Brother, thank u for sharing. Know i get it.
Unbelievable truth, invaluable advice.
Unfortunately I have that dark passenger but as I’ve got older I can control it and also medication.
I can’t remember not having it. I do believe I started whilst in the Rhodesian military forces. Listening to you is like me. I’ve done some bad things in my life I’m not proud of. Thank you for speaking out about that dark passenger as I hadn’t thought of it like this.
TCAV brother, think about it: you are a highly trained warrior. You have seen evil, seen extreme violence. You have held savage weapons, locked, loaded an ready to unleash hell. You were taught 101 ways to inflict maximum damage. And yet, you have full control of that war beast inside of you. You hurt yourself and others, but you never loss control of that weapon inside of your soul. That is true virtue. That is true strength. Be proud of yourself and be your best friend. You are a true warrior in every sense of the word and even warriors have bad days. It is a learning journey to all of us.
Amen Brother.. Thanks you
You are very welcome
Like that saying everyone has two wolves in them one bad and one good it's all about the one you feed.
Thank you for your service and the inspirational content you're one Individual
I appreciate that
@@tcavofficial I was born in 89 and just seeing the difference in humanity since technology has made people lazy! Loyalty, Honor, Respect and Discipline is almost gone with the generations after the 80s we are truly the last of the Hard working patriots who wasn't raised with an I phone and WiFi we had to do constructive or destructive activities when we were bored. True Grit using the knowledge from our life lessons that harden us to apply action behind the wisdom to take on any scenario. Fear and hesitation will kill! Stay Blessed!
Thanks for sharing your content is always real and solid. 🙏
I appreciate that!
This was a good one brother. I feel that all too much. It's taking so much work bro to get it under control. It's scared me many times and followed through many times. Led to prison, issues that took so long to fix, etc. Honestly speaking about this type of thing is good to get out and help other people realize theyre not entirely broken or trash because of decisions they've made. I wanted to pick your brain on insta a while back when my youngest brother passed. You told me to hit you up then I realized you were charging for coaching basically. No hate, get it bro ita just not my thing. But keep getting after it and doing what you're doing. I wish you all the best
Jungian shadow bro. Thx for this.
Hey Sir
I often tried to overcome it throughout my youth, and every time I thought I had mastered it, I learned that I could better learn to live with it and try to convert it into something positive, for example the aggressive in the physical and perseverance. and perseverance, through the years of mistakes that will always return, I have that part reasonably well under control, but the verbal and mind games that still surface is a struggle, especially with how the world has become, many triggers but that elevates reasoning above others and persevering through very difficult moments
Thanks for shearing your story motivation trueout everything keep strong high vibrations
Just tell people that You Don’t Have an Anger Problem but people just need to stop pissing you off 😂
lt's a breakdown in humanity.
Well said, many of us have that same feeling. Once again absolutely the best advice given.
Knowing yourself including "controlled agression" for some is a quality that needs to be identified and controlled/dealt with. For others - need to work on it. Good information as always TCAV. ♠️🎩🎯🎱🇺🇲🏁🇮🇱🇺🇦🔱🌻🌸🌼🏵️💮🏴☠️🏹
I like listening to you over probably honestly anyone else brother when you are looked at as a black sheep or f up or outcast your a misfit an all us misfits all come down to everything you say man
Great one Taylor. I definitely needed this message. Thank you sir.
This dude looks too damn good. It’s not fair 😭
Thank you brother. Always great listening
It’s popped out of the shadows on an occasion of two. Usually when drinking.
Keep it going brother. Get to Cam Hanes and get on his show. It will be a challenge because the guy can run. It will change the trajectory of your career. Love your channel. By the way, I just watched the new Road House and it is exactly your story.
“I don’t want to wake it up, I don’t want to wake it up….the devil in me.
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up & come back to life”
Sometimes angels have to do the devils work & I personally am blessed, sometimes to find a vent…that hellfire is vented in art, work, poetry & after years & years….balance. The Ying to the Yang. A battery has a positive & a negative…use that energy to help those that need it more….when you think you have it bad…that’s nothing compared to the atrocities that one is going through right now. Stay blessed & remain vigilant.
Thank you for sharing.
Brother. It's like u know. I like hearing how u deal with the monster
Thank you TCAV 🏆 great massage …. “ Thoughts create feelings” , not the other way around… I tell myself the story that eventually can send me into “ FuQ it land” and I fuk shit up…. I’m not doing that anymore …. Let the story unravel, and create a new one, better one, beautiful one🎉 thank you for your “ wisdom sharing” that’s what my Shaman, or “ Medicine Man “ calls it anyway….. almost 4 mos
No alchhol here….. but, trying to kick my kratom habit…… man, this one makes me wanna watch some “ Dexter”
“ When you think you know it all. You have blown it all!” A good mentor told me one time! And never forgot it.
Great message put me in a good place to start this day awhere!
I have that guy on my back. He comes out when somebody rings the bell. He has gotten me out of some crazy situations but, he must be suppressed in normal situations. He is always lurking, one slip up and he and I are running with the devil. Great topic Brother. Semper Fi my fellow Warrior. GBY Taylor.
That dark passenger will pop up no matter what you do, especially in todays world. Its what you do WHEN it pops up that matters. How to keep the bad thoughts to a minimum until they go away. Remember, everything is temporary.
Man...I've had the dark passenger since I was a kid! I've dealt with explosive anger issues my whole life and it wasn't until I got off drugs and quit drinking till I got some control of it but it's still there!
Email me let's get locked on: tcavofficial@gmail.com
You really are a young soul TCAV! I enjoy your rants and your energy even more!
It's a spiritual program, no more no less. Stay sober, work a spiritual program.
Winston Churchill called it his balck dog.
Damn…I’m the same way. It’s hard to keep it locked away. 🤙🏴🦍
We all have that dark passenger, it is our control over it that defines us. Unfortunately, he has gone out for walks on occasion but I club him back into submission. Self-discipline, is all that separates us from the criminals. Keep em coming!
Dexter from the TV series talked about his 'dark passenger' - he was a serial killer (only of bad dudes). Good v Evil; it's in us all.
