Phenomenal innerview. There were so many jewels dropped in this program. Talk about navigating worlds, self love, self awareness, self management, creating your own destiny, and understanding how powerful and profound WE are as divine sacred beings. It is so key that we tap in and look at all the constructs of this third dimension that are of no good service to us as humanity and evolve towards the incline of greater wisdom and beyond. If you life feels heavy right now, you have to examine what are you thinking, doing and saying and believing/ when you understand and have the humility to know you have to make the shift to change the narrative , you will see your whole life elevate and become imbued with ease. so many folks have a hard time making a shift because they've bought into programming, and habits, and mindsets that keep them fearful, stagnant, full of diminished ego and reeking of spiritual depravity. It will do us all good to take a pause and reflect and assess, how is the life you are living now, independent of money --- look at your life and ask yourself do you have serenity now? are you able to stand up regardless of circumstances and know who you are and understand that you have the INHERENT ability to recreate your whole life because you have the knowledge of self and when you do, no one can take anything from you -- you are not chasing, you are attracting -- the over consumerism, hyper materialism will not save you -- even if you think you look good, the real wealth -- IS knowing who you are. either you going to get it or you will fight it and suffer. Read, listen, tap into the stillness, and be open to what The Most High is revealing. Life is evidence, and it will reveal everything.

This Kyrie interview needs to be watched by every young indigenous or derived young indigenous young man. People don’t realize the mistakes we make are repeated from lineage as he said. We all walk around not knowing who we are, where we come from, and what has been sacrificed for us to have what we have. When he said “I didn’t know who I was” I felt that to my core. Black men I hope you find yourself out there.

[@YourSweetPotato]

I wish Kyrie Irving actually learnt something from Kobe's work ethic: Play the games you are paid to play instead of missing games whenever you feel like it.

Black men are not indigeous to the US, lmao.

We are West Africans with a long linage of warriors,its too bad so many blacks are shinning away from their West African royal genes and claiming to be anything else that isnt African,yes i understand some are really native to this land,but a vast majority of us are West Africans with a lil of slave masters rape blood.

This was one of the best episodes. I have not picked up my work laptop since I started watching this video. The sit-down was knowledgable, deep, connective, and covered a diverse range of subjects. I have never felt like I was AT WITNESS of an interview before, but this one definitely made me feel like that. This interview felt like a deep conversation that needed to be had and you all delivered wholeheartedly. Thank you brothers

[@anthonyseverino6694]

I have never seen Kyrie so open in an interview, or more of a conversation, this made me gain more respect towards Ky.

The misunderstanding is the sports media only cares about the sport. Thats their job. His personal enlightenment is his journey alone. Cant blend the 2. Be part of the team when its time too be. Then after/before satisfy self-care.

[@Lilioideae]

Kyrie just got Lebroned that’s all! He will be fine! I never agreed for Lesbro to come back bc I envisioned a young team back then with Kyrie being the leader not Lesbro! I also feel bad for the way we did Wiggins bc I wanted him then too! We could’ve had prime Melo or anyone good but we risked it all for Lesbro which is more bitter than sweet but on behalf of Cleveland fans we appreciate you men! The media is part of the job but these men are human too!🙏🏾♥️💕

There comes a time in every old soul’s life where they finally reach the top of the mountain and you’re left with this empty yet hungry feeling for more and at that point you either commit yourself to another impossible grind thinking this next one will be the high you’ve been looking for. Or you look down from the top and watch the next man grinding his ass off for the unfulfilling throne. For the next man who has yet to experience glory in his many lifetimes it may be fulfilling but for the old souls it is at this moment where we realize life is much bigger than this. Now the door to true fulfillment begins to open.
