Eric Nies and Project - Peace on Earth

[amylhoff]

Thanks for sharing....sober now 20 years so I can relate. I still love sugar but have to try to say no:(

[vinylreality]

He seems like a child even now. What a douchebag.

[muaythaimark]

Hey I hung out with one of your RW cast members and met you a few times in the apt. in New York along time ago. I thought you were a colossal jerk. I ended up being in a band that got half way famous for a few minutes and dove head first into cocaine and became a total prick and almost lost it all, including my parents and my son. I'm a boring Joe now and am so so happy. I am grateful for your courage to post this. Those of you who know, you know what I mean. Easy does it.

[contact1araya]

addiction to sugar.....leads to marihuana addiction (wich is a myth)? Dude I hope you are really living a better life...........but if you are doing this as a last resort for notoriety and money then I guess I dont have to finish this sentence..

[MCDEMC]

i wish this whigger would have overdosed

[free2drm]

@MCDEMC Why would you wish something like that?

[free2drm]

Respond to this video...  He is beautiful. His voice is so soothing

[cloverfield00]

[NickolasDarling]

Keep worming Asian girls # lushfmlk.info #

[TwistedGrover]

this surprises me, I never would have guessed that he went through these struggles..he still looks very handsome....God Bless You Eric, I'm so glad you are trying to help people by expressing what you learned from your experiences

[electricslipper]

Need attention to lighting. The young man's eyes are deep set plus he has a heavy brow. Some bounce light will give more "Life" to his excellent presentation.

WHERE IS COSMIO PROPELLOR?

[xcheena]

RESPECT!!! :)

[2012sandra]

Thank you Eric, it´s a great video and everything you say is authentic. Let´s connect with the source... :)

[divadymmat]

eric nies is my best friends uncle!!!!! hahaaha

[JoLouise1]

This Guy is great and I have a lot of respect for Eric Nies.

[lwbnwsnc]

how beautiful he truly is...to the bone!

[assyrio78]

You are the bomb Eric...

[pornoonsteroids]

Yeah I thought he was cool back on The Real World. He is a good looking guy and a really good body. Even on those Real World/Road Rules Challenges he competed well but when this guy does interviews you can tell he is off. He totally seems like the type of guy that would join a cult like Jones Town. Maybe it isn't all his fault. He was young when he got on that show and probably just got caught up in the Hollywood scene.

[davidtahd]

Good advice Eric :) This is a very wise and insightful message ...

[ch1aka2]

Eric,

I see you around town and really respect you. I hope to meet one day.

[momdebbie]

at least he is making a difference and not just sitting there being a fat critic fatgrl. everyone is on a path and no matter where he used to be, he is now on a MUCH higher path than you.

[fatgrl1935]

Puleez...this guy was a douche bag back in the day, and he's probably still an attention-seeking douche bag...

[pivotingsouls]

super cool! he is a real hero!

[timcoen1]

Rock on, Eric! I, too, am "free" in my recovery from addiction. I made the right choice to change my life and make that decision every day. Love, peace, God...it is all there!

[vooosh2k]

He's still smoking weed.

[jdlmao2]

Everything in what you are saying is 100% truth.....kewl video message about peace and just staying happy with being. :)  Thank you Eric ....

[lisrobbe]

This is video that I will listen to everyday as the most awesome motivation and reminder as to the right direction to change in all areas of my life.

[slipanarq]

you are like jesus lol

Very powerfull video..

[azmissdaisy]

You spoke right to my heart. thank you! I needed to hear that!

[gymbuilt]

Good on ya.. i totally agree with you dude

[cinehell]

ERIC NILES!

Still awesome after all these years!

I, too, got off the "poison".

I loved IT and IT hated me.

Bad relationship...I moved-on.

Gotta keep busy, now...take care of myself and inspire love and strength in other people.

You said so much in a mere 10 minutes...

you are a true inspiration.

Thanks, 'bro!

[311cdm]

Right on, Eric. Rock on.

[llehcin]

God bless you, Eric. May God keep you. And you continue to preach, bro. There are people listening. How did you ween yourself off sugar?

[22brigid]

You're wonderful, Eric! Thanks for this.

(and please let your hair grow out again....you look so hot when it's long)

[elchavon08]

[yudyudyud45]

I met him when he first started modeling in NYC...every single time I ran into him after that he remembered me and said hi. He is a really nice guy...very kind person

[deedawgdarren]

right on

thanks bro

[GottiDaGoodfella]

jesus was hot like that? gotta start reading my bible!

[Khoa42]

lol

[LittleGreenEyes]

All of you who have something rude to say about how Eric looks.. Shut the Hell Up and listen to his Damn message!!

He is an awesome person who doesn't care about the way he looks or the way "society" says he should look like!!

He overcame the "Society"

God Bless Eric Nies!!

[rutgersdevil]

YOU ARE A TOTAL TOOL!

[bordmanjr]

Mad respect for you Eric you seem to be at one with yourself and very happy congratulations.

[Radio388]

I was watching Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH1. When I saw this guy, I remember seeing him on The Real World, years ago. Back then he had short hair, no beard, absolutely gorgeous!! Anyway, found this video, and was really moved. While drugs and alcohol aren't an issue with me, sugar is my addition, and I'm a diabetic. He's right, I'm destroying myself. Wish he was here to counsel me - I've already been inspired by this.

[fruityblack]

You know I have been watching Confessions of a Teen Idol also and I really enjoy the show. One day while on You Tube I came across this video and was brought to tears because his words every word seemed to be talking directly to me!! I cried for a long time and since then have changed the negative things I was doing. I am also Diabetic it's amazing how this disease changes our bodies and spirits it is so draining but his words help I watch this video to remain inspired.

[giizismukwa2]

Eric...Im not Net savy.. im a 49 year old mom ex surfer.. those around me all did drugs.. but i didnt. you say. if we seek others not sick (Im unsure if this will reach you).. but Im in MiI.. dying from lack of sun and water.. my family are materialistic millionaires.. Im just raising their only grandchildren & cant afford green drinks :).. but Im alone.. my kids father is final stages drunk .. diabetic & not caring.. who can you put me in touch bless your integrity

[CourtneysAuntSara]

I'm glad you include food. Fodd is the beast I fight daily. I just eat THREE peices of pizza of breakfast. Food, IMO is the worst drug we have.

[rickiedee]

WOW this is great. i have watch so many gurus and spiritual leaders and writers and poets and even actors and tv show hosts and musicians speak about spirituality and peace and all that jargon, but this guy really really inspired me. i guess because he hit so close to home because I am suffering still from an alcohol addiction. everyone in this day and age who are sucked in by the system and drink and do drugs and "party like a rockstar" need to desperately watch this video.

[rickiedee]

the way we are headed with the music that teaches us these things is literally hell, we are being lead away from the divine truth that men are called god. we are as much a part of god as god himself. we must awaken to the true divine essence of our very souls, and must remember why we are here on this earth! we are here to help one another, but not first before helping ourselves by loving ourselves unconditionally!

[fruityblack]

I am glad to hear this video and his words touched so many people like they did me. The first time I saw it I cried for quite a while I had been feeling so depressed and angry about bad decisions made because of drugs. His words helped me forgive myself Eric mentions facing our fear it's like he was speaking directly to me I imagine other people must feel the same way. The message is a miracle at least to me it is I am sure it has touched so many like you and me.

[cnc6570]

You are very inspiring. Thank you for your honesty. God bless you.

[yasmingirl2000]

I thought he was cute then.Even now I still think he's cute!

[thewoodscall]

You are very inspiring! <3 Thank you.

[fruityblack]

Thank you for posting this video. It has changed my life I had started making the worst choices lately and this has broought me to tears and I havent cried in so long because I have been drowning myself in drugs but he has made me look at everything as of this morning Jan 27, 2009 I saw this video and he is an angel because he has hit on everything I have been feeling, I cannot thank you enough!!!!

[PeaceHasBegun]

You're most welcome. Blessings and love to you.

[fruityblack]

Blessings and love to you I must share with you I had just started to hate myself for some stupid decisions and could not forgive muself, I began to smoke cocaine, over use my perscribed meds and then started drinking to avoid seeing the pain, But this morning I sit here looking at this video and having a really deep thought about my life. I watch this video and it's as though he was speaking directly to me. I stopped the abuse have not had the desire, thank you Eric I hope you see this,tin

[fruityblack]

I see this video has affected many many more people than me, and that is just amazing!! I had a miracle the morning I watched it I cried harder than I had in years, I forgave myself for the stupid mistakes, But more than that I had no desire to touch the crap to smell it or see it/ Eric admits why he did what he did so you feel he feels what we feel. I will always love him so much forever Thank you again I watch this every morning. I's my daily word."Friends with the fear" I love that and him.

[danesters]

@fruityblack I saw this comment you posted....Its been 2 years, just wondering if you really changed after viewing it?

[hollydolly1083]

It would be better without the cheezy music

[speedaxe2007]

My brother smokes weed.. he needs to see this.

[lacheckett]

I will watch this everyday.

Thank you Eric...

[SCOTTDAVIDSON32]

all truth from dude! everything in our life is a lie! EVERYTHING! money, food, health, government, people are waking up everyday. Be one of them! Ask the basics like what is money? what is food?

[BIGbenOWNSyouALL]

im on my brothers account but i had to post i thought this was bs but wow he hit cords inside me i cried during it he expressed feelings i thought were just me thank you eric nies you are an awesome person.

[Afropavo]

Keep up the affirmation

[heartyevangelista]

I LOVE ERIC NIES

[danalana]

He looks bad now, he use to be really good looking. His main problem is his ego. Sad because he seems like a nice guy under his ego. I'm glad he is trying to help people though..he just doesn't seem all there to me.

[fruityblack]

I think this man is more 'All There" than anyone else I have seen in a long time. With the exception of pouring his own urine on his hair lol!!!! I think the man has the heart of a angel, I mean listen to the things he says in this video maybe you are not going through this particular problem in your life so you cannot understand what I am saying. He has changed my life with the compassion and wisdom he speaks with, Rehab is big business I realize this much, God bless you Eric.

[tita4ewa]

@danalana I agree! I feel a little bad for him. Its not addiction that's his problem as much as it is the ego. Even when you mean well, and I think he does, its the ego that ruins it all.

[Qstorm711]

this man is still gorgeous!

[burtburt]

"Self-Love" is waaaay to ego-centric. Love others----that's the motivation. Then you'll find how God can use you.

[PeaceHasBegun]

Do you mean to say that you believe that one can authentically extend love another person before they first authentically love and respect themselves?

[sniveling]

We are far too focussed on ourselves rather than having a goal of positively impacting the lives of others. This love self-analysis can get to be an addition in itself. When seeking to help others your own ego takes a back seat and excessive 'self-love discovery' becomes irrelevant. By focussing on others and God's relationship to yourself and others you won't be concerned with how much self-love and self-respect you have for your own ego---it's not an issue. Then you can benefit others.

[urbanjournalist]

@burtburt What Eric means is until you love yourself truly you won't have the ability to love others. It starts with you then projects onto others.

[SamJames]

@urbanjournalist It's time to forget this 'self love' crap.....If you focus on others then you can help them. The current trendy self love mantra is just ego with another name on it. Reach out to others---then your value will be known, not whether or not you 'self love'. It's time to get over this narcissistic loathing...and now!

[urbanjournalist]

@SamJames I whole heartely agree with your viewpoint.........but I think if you do not care about yourself you will not care or have the ability to focus on others well being. This is what he is trying to manifest out there, but your right the worl has a big problem with narcissism and ego.

[mecheves]

Way to go, Eric. Glad you're working to do good in the world.

[Tanfeliz]

Wow, right on. Good for him.

[kokimechelie]

errr.. are you guys serious?? was it right? september 2009??? it shot last september 2009? by the way today's january 2009..

[PeaceHasBegun]

Please Watch the end of the video again. It is ultimately promoting the Project-Peace on  Earth concert scheduled for September 2009.

[fruityblack]

The message is a powerful one no matter when it was filmed.

[misscatoe]

i used 2 b in love with him

[rtcasey1976]

erics the man ..good to see ya puttin out a positive message...

[hisluckienstar614]

eric is a spoiled california cry baby-- but.... he's so cute :) and his message is sincere. i think.

[Mackenzie73]

Eric...pleaaaaase come and help me!!!

:-)))

[farfuvluger]

Anybody know where I could get the uncensored episode of The Real World when Eric was behind the shower curtain talking to Julie? There was a blurry that blocked everything:(

[luvimil]

amen!!!

[upinflamezzz]

Jesus!

[nightvisionmonocular]

What the hell happened to this guy? Haven't seen him or heard of him in 15 or so years. Sounds like he went through a bad stretch.

[fruityblack]

In watching the show "Confesssions of a teenage Idol" He says he went through a period where he had a manager that took advantage of him pretty badly. It must really be difficult to find a manager that you can trust but I think this man has risen above the adversity to become a wonderful compassionate human being. His body is to die for and even though there are some things he does that are a bit extream in my opinion all in all he speaks some powerful truth in this video.

[jofrelly]

All Blessings To U

[alxlaw7]

Thanks Eric.
