So he is on the street because he chose to be. He thought a having material things would stress him out and cause him not to have love and care for people.
I’m a psychotherapist and this man is spewing truth. So much depression and anxiety stems from the very things he’s explaining. I implore you to PLEASE pay attention.
Pay attention to this gentleman: no education, no phone,no driving licence, no bank account, no job, nothing material; but sure he's got lots of knowledge. Let's not forget that, among the things he hasn't got, he doesn't have drugs nor alcohol addiction. He graduated from "University of life" full colours. He belongs to that category of old people that had the knowledge and the were trying to pass it over to the next generation. To bad the new generation isn't there to listen. Great interview, great gentleman, great personality. Nice one. I'll give you 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I truly wish him the best in life, and to get housed as soon as possible he surely deserve it.. Blessing from 🇮🇹Italy
He is probably one of those rarest type of people in the world. He obtained knowledge through travelling the world and observing people. He's rich in knowledge, more so than most people would ever be in life. He's free in his own world. Bless his heart.
I'm amazed at how confident and content he is, in spite of being homeless. He represents content without materialism and social status. Very soul piercing
He is rich in spirit in too many ways to even list here. Cigarette man owns his life, his choices, his consciousness. He has made a study of himself and the world around him and has made a decision to be who HE wants to be, not who society tells him he should be. He has achieved personal power through his own consciousness. That is a freedom that so many people in this world, with much more material things, will never achieve in their lifetime. Much love and respect to Cigarette Man. 💜🙏
Cigarette Man is freaking awesome he had stated the foundation of life just as it is for some even if he’s Leary about God I pray he finds and accepts him because the knowledge he is sharing is from God 🙏🏿 This man is very clear about what he is saying and it’s very easy to understand. There is a lesson in his message😇🙏🏿
@Mancy Carr you have no right to call anyone Pseudo when you yourself hold Pseudo beliefs.😏 his beliefs are about questioning the ideas and constructs we believe in and live by. and one of Man's most questionable beliefs is in some deity we refer to as a "God"? your belief in this Myth will Never push you to be truly aware of the World around you and of your own existence as a mortal being. so Stop Indoctrinating yourselves to False Ideologies and begin to use your Mind's they way they were meant to be used..
@Mancy Carr again, you have absolutely No right calling anyone stupid or confused believing in your Fairy Tales. I'm neither of those things. just a Rational Human Being who uses Science and Reason to guide me on what is Real and what is NOT..
I have a feeling he would say that he already has everything he needs. He's wise enough to know that everything we desire isn't always what we need! He has no blinders and no filters, a truly wise soul.
I'm in a whole different scenario in life than Cigarette Man. I'm 21 years old, I have my own appartement and I am truly blessed to have a job which I dreamt of since I was a little kid. This man is truly unique. I have never in my life seen a more wise man, nor truer words than the ones spoken by Cigarette Man. I salute you sir, and I hope that SWU can tell him how much people appreciate him. I wish I could help the guy, but unfortunately I live in Europe and its not a day-trip to LA so I could have a good chat with Cigarette. I truly wish you the best in life Cigarette, Alhamdulillah. You're Christian, I'm Muslim, but that does not effect the love that people should have towards each other. You have a great heart.
Man y’all need to get out & read more, man is wise but people get much much smarter and more wise than this man. Study the work of Mark Passio like his natural law seminar for example. This is childish talk compared to stuff like that
"Most people want to buy their Jordans before they take care of their kids." "Not everybody is going to be rich; It takes all sides of life to make a world." Wow.
Unfortunately my friend the youth isn't rebounding. Maybe a very small percentage. Im thankful (even just being 29) to live in end of days generation with that diploma in my eye sight. Can read. Count. Make wise choices. I have made poor choices to just learn quickly from.
I'm not even 5 minutes in and l want a follow up interview. Should ask him the 5 most important things he's learned in life- that would be intriguing to hear what he would say-heck l would probably write them down.
The richest man I have ever met. Pleasure to meet you sir my name is Thelma and gratefully I learned this VALUABLE lesson. Unfortunately I learned the hard way but it all got me here and here is beautiful. Peace and love brother
@OTOLI X you are such a genius, oh my god what would the world do without your intellect? Thank you for existing sir. You may be the brightest man in all of eternity
intelligence is not at all related or bound to education. you cant get more intelligent through all the education in the world, you just gain knowledge.
I have many highly “educated “ friends.... but I find allot of them don’t have much Common sense..... I call them educated idiots! They know I’m joking with them , but a couple of them I wonder ... lol
Tim G It is intelligence. It’s not “booksmarts”; which is not the primary intelligence to have, anyway. What he has will take him farther in life than most PhDs.
What wisdom and insight into Life! The lessons he's gleaned from life are spot on, i.e., what matters and what doesn't. How can you not love this guy?!
Can I just say, he's probably more woke than most people. This homeless guy, who never went to school and ever had a house are wiser than many of us who probably has gone to more than 20 years of school and have more than 1 house. If he sees the value in being himself and not let others influence who he is on the inside, what's the excuse for the rest of us. I love your channel! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the lives of those we don't normally encounter. It's refreshing to hear a perspective from someone who is least interested in being a pretentious ass in this fake world.
School doesn't make you wise. It gives you tools to work on a good day, on a bad day it brainwashes you. BTW, I have a master's degree. The best wisdom I ever received was from my grandmother who had a 3rd grade education.
My boyyyyyy!!!!! The one and only: cigarette man!! I was so excited to see you post another video of him!!! He’s brings me joy!♥️♥️I need him to stay safe!! There’s probably someone watching him & jealous of the knowledge he has.
When at 45 years old with university diplomas,you then come to realise that you have met the greatest teacher of your entire life.Makes my parents look stupid and childish. And me too.with a family of my own I think I have found a very strong life teaching lesson that must start immediately being slowly introduced in my family. The reason I found this video is bcos am struggling with inner conflicts and I can swear I almost feel CURED. But I know that there is much to do.what a feeling. I feel like I was waiting for this gentleman my whole life.and thank goodness am not religious. I knew I could find the answer out there and here it is. Million thanks for the Video
Im 37, male, Irish, 18years addiction to opiates, Iv been living in this homeless hostel for 4years and I wish I had a tenth of that man's wisdom! Love your channel ❤️
I done a interview with Mark and honestly I asked him if he was looking for a circus show or if he is looking for real story's he said give it to him straight it does a misjustice to his audience if it aint authentic. I have alot of respect for that.
Thank you 🙏 David you have so much knowledge I’m a only child that’s visited both parents in prison. Grew up self taught. I love you bro you’re a real man.
you need to watch more of his interviews then.... Mark is really talented and has some great material on this channel. I can count the hours I have spent watching interviews
My house literally burned down when I was 19 and I lost all of my material possessions. When the shock wore off and the perspective set in, it was a good feeling having less stuff. What this man is saying is the truth and he is living a kind of freedom few would have a hard time understanding until they were in his position.
“And we can’t take anything with us, you can’t put that BMW in the casket and take it with you... “ Mark, I needed Cigarette Man today. Especially in these uncertain times. He is one of the richest people I’ve ever listened to. Thanks for posting more of him, I always want to hear what he has to say !
This is literally the most powerful piece I’ve seen so far, and I’ve been binge watching for the past 2 weeks! Great channel Mark! You are doing what I would consider gods work!
This man is so full of wisdom and knowledge. I’m sure his message is a blessing to someone who needed to hear this. Thanks Mark for giving him the opportunity to speak his truth.
The perspective here!! This man is very rich in spirit! Most people would look at him and see nothing but a homeless man but little do they know that he is much more than that. Beautiful soul..
personally I think a gofundme would be wasted on the majority of Mark's interviewees. But one for Cigarette Man, get him some dentures, that would be a nice thing.
i like that ideal Zoti...who cares what he spends it on though. if we are truly going to give it to him, its no longer our place to mico-manage those funds. Because he is a grown man. Thats just my thinkin'. I agree with what you said though, and i aint hatin'. Be Safe Everyone🙏
@@sunkissed38queen89 ah, I guess he probably isn't aware of that option. Plus he has adapted to life without them! And, when you're homeless, even something like registering with a dentist can be problematic. I'm in England, not sure how the US system works, things are different here.
What an interesting fella he is!!! He may not read nor write, but he certainly is extremely observant and philosophical. It would be easy to sit and listen to him for hours!
Love his energy.. He definitely should be a speaker at schools, universities & even forums. People need to hear this and reset themselves on the straight and narrow especially if things are going astray in life.
awesome vid, Mark! Cigarette Man is a real cool dude, and it's great to just have one of your interviewees sharing interesting thoughts... rather than the often bleak life stories we often see from these people. I'd definitely like to see more vids like this.
I sit here watching this video on the big screen N I must say.... In this last year of watching your videos this was one that truly got to me! This man is so smart you can tell he is very knowledgeable. A philosopher he is! I enjoyed listening to this man there was no rambling on in this video everything he said made sense! I think a lot of people should listen to this man. I don't know if you give your interviewees their comments they receive from us viewers but if there is a way of letting this man know that he definitely got me thinking about a lot of things in my life I would enjoy him to know! Definitely worth listening to! I could probably listen to him for hours. Great video! Awesome guy. I hope the best for him
By far the best interview soo far!! These people would on tv 📺 if they had the path few has.... no judgement brother l feel you... the system is made to imprison our thinking and being free...
Holy Moses!! Forget all these YT influencers with their rather insignificant entertainment material and knowledge, that in terms of what’s important in the universe, Our older generations who’s life lessons and understanding have no platform to pass their wealth of knowledge and life lessons...and will soon be gone forever. Makes me miss my grandparents who lived a simple, if you can’t pay cash for it you don’t need it and knew what a hard days work was. And a world absent of commerce and its money machine that teach the youth to acquire and relationships are valued for what they contribute to one’s egos. Life is about our connections, relationships and doing whatever we can regardless of our reward and self serving motive. God bless this man and maybe giving people something to think about who are willing to listen
I've been working on waking up just like you're saying. Realizing that I've been conditioned and have been doing the work to undo this shit. Love you man. thanks!
Homelessness is not easy or ideal but: There is a certain kind of raw wisdom that can come from being homeless, from living without possessions, from sitting, and observing.
I agree with him on people and their perception of things we “must” have - and how that in a way, holds us in bondage. It’s truly amazing seeing someone who is in skid row who is not on drugs, alcohol, etc - and is just simply existing and reflecting on life. I love hearing his wisdom! 🤍
You really are doing a wonderful thing with these videos , giving voice to the forgotten , the ignored folk , the downtrodden and voiceless , thanks for the huge work you have done , if i had money i would certainly pass some your way and the many go fundme campaigns you have set up .THANK YOU SIR .
You got yourself a goldmine with this video the cigarette man will not be homeless a lot people are going to track him down and try and give him everything he doesn’t need oh my I don’t think he’s aware of what he’s done 🤔
Identifying with material objects is an interesting psychological dilemma, it is basically a delusion on some level where identity becomes overly attached to external objects for different reasons. The world and the universe and in constant flux, constant change and there is nothing stopping it, resistance is futile. Get in the flow, change, adapt, enjoy the ride, nothing lasts forever.
I’ve NEVER seen someone so humble we truly love you cigarette man

Mark, probably my favorite person you have interviewed so far, he is inspiring and real. Much love to cigarette man.
What an interesting fella he is!!! He may not read nor write, but he certainly is extremely observant and philosophical. It would be easy to sit and listen to him for hours!
Love his energy.. He definitely should be a speaker at schools, universities & even forums. People need to hear this and reset themselves on the straight and narrow especially if things are going astray in life.
awesome vid, Mark! Cigarette Man is a real cool dude, and it's great to just have one of your interviewees sharing interesting thoughts... rather than the often bleak life stories we often see from these people. I'd definitely like to see more vids like this.
I sit here watching this video on the big screen N I must say.... In this last year of watching your videos this was one that truly got to me! This man is so smart you can tell he is very knowledgeable. A philosopher he is! I enjoyed listening to this man there was no rambling on in this video everything he said made sense! I think a lot of people should listen to this man. I don't know if you give your interviewees their comments they receive from us viewers but if there is a way of letting this man know that he definitely got me thinking about a lot of things in my life I would enjoy him to know! Definitely worth listening to! I could probably listen to him for hours. Great video! Awesome guy. I hope the best for him
He deserves so much more in life
Make this man your President! He is an honest, experienced, trustful soul. He is the right one. Regards from Germany ✌️
lol calm down Hasselhoff.
@@jaym2111 I'll be looking for freedom as you know. He is the best choice 😉
Everyone, literally, needs a friend like him. I hope life gets easier for him 🖤
This guy needs his own temple lmao u just found the Dali lama of skidrow
100 🤗👏
if people weren't on so many Drugs, that could possible happen. 😉
Clever choice of words
I'd buy a book from this dude no B's
Lol! Yes!
He is one of the realest OG's on the channel...Real Talk. Stay Safe Everyone💕
angie Wize there is more of him?
@@EtrosSoul
yes I think there is. 😎
Respect ✊🏾 💙
without a doubt the most interesting one.
HANDS DOWN 💯❤️❤️!!!
I could listen to him and he just sheds light on all I was thinking ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯 he's FUCKIN AWESOME 💪🏾!.
“I’ve lived in different cultures” this is all that it is. Perspective.
A lot of people or youngsters need to hear this !!!
By far the best interview soo far!! These people would on tv 📺 if they had the path few has.... no judgement brother l feel you... the system is made to imprison our thinking and being free...
I'm loving this wise man...I want to adopt him as my uncle. 💯 He deserves a family and a home filled with love.
Mz Fancy yes sis 💙✊🏾
Holy Moses!! Forget all these YT influencers with their rather insignificant entertainment material and knowledge, that in terms of what’s important in the universe,
Our older generations who’s life lessons and understanding have no platform to pass their wealth of knowledge and life lessons...and will soon be gone forever.
Makes me miss my grandparents who lived a simple, if you can’t pay cash for it you don’t need it and knew what a hard days work was. And a world absent of commerce and its money machine that teach the youth to acquire and relationships are valued for what they contribute to one’s egos.
Life is about our connections, relationships and doing whatever we can regardless of our reward and self serving motive.
God bless this man and maybe giving people something to think about who are willing to listen
Thx u Soft White underbelly, I enjoyed this video. Very uplifting with humble pie !!!
That man sure is Rich within.
I've been working on waking up just like you're saying. Realizing that I've been conditioned and have been doing the work to undo this shit. Love you man. thanks!
This video needs to go trending right now
Well done, Cigarette Man, well done... Respect.
Mon Mac respect ✊🏾 💙
Homelessness is not easy or ideal but:
There is a certain kind of raw wisdom that can come from being homeless, from living without possessions, from sitting, and observing.
Hands down one of my favorite interviews... very insightful
I listened to this man like he was a teacher hope he’s still going
I agree with him on people and their perception of things we “must” have - and how that in a way, holds us in bondage. It’s truly amazing seeing someone who is in skid row who is not on drugs, alcohol, etc - and is just simply existing and reflecting on life. I love hearing his wisdom! 🤍
I adore the wisdom of this man. I hope his message spreads to everyone in need of it.
He’s more woke than a college professor +a counselor put together
I would say based
You really are doing a wonderful thing with these videos , giving voice to the forgotten , the ignored folk , the downtrodden and voiceless , thanks for the huge work you have done , if i had money i would certainly pass some your way and the many go fundme campaigns you have set up .THANK YOU SIR .
Whatever you own owns you. Lot of wisdom here. Respect
You got yourself a goldmine with this video the cigarette man will not be homeless a lot people are going to track him down and try and give him everything he doesn’t need oh my I don’t think he’s aware of what he’s done 🤔
Bigfoot Tree hugger man I love this man 💙✊🏾
Plot twist : that was his plan all along, lol 😅
@@tiffyoa1000 haha
Identifying with material objects is an interesting psychological dilemma, it is basically a delusion on some level where identity becomes overly attached to external objects for different reasons. The world and the universe and in constant flux, constant change and there is nothing stopping it, resistance is futile. Get in the flow, change, adapt, enjoy the ride, nothing lasts forever.
enjoy the endless ride mafagas
Smart man.
You CANNOT learn this in a book. These words radiate from the core of a human experience. This was so impressive.
I could listen to this guy all day, I wish him all the luck in the world.
