Avoid the Unconscious Lifestyle! Wake Up!

From his HIV diagnosis in 1985 until his death in April of 2009, Cass Mann was one of the world's longest-term HIV-positive survivors. He founded Positively Healthy, the UK's only HIV/AIDS charity staffed exclusively by openly gay men, which provided HIV services including education, support, and peer counselling. These videos now archive his wisdom and insight for future generations. Eastern philosophers say that 99% of humanity is unconscious. If your world is your club, back room, dark room, adult videos, and Internet sex-on-demand, you're leading an unconscious lifestyle, and this unconsciousness will kill you. To the world at large, the "Gay" identity is AIDS identity--a hedonistic and narcissistic identity. But if you wake up, you realize that there's more to life than your sexual orientation.

Well, this video acted on me like a Zen stick struck across my sleeping shoulders! It is rare indeed to come across a gay AIDS teacher who has a spiritual nature to his teaching and I have searched long and hard for such a one and have now found him. Most gay AIDS teachers are too busy attempting to bed their clients or manipulate them in any way they can, and will do all they can for self-aggrandisement. It is like having a cold shower to be shown that I am unconscious and do need to wake up.

The simple fact that there are only Three posts to this Video, supports His conclusions. Most People are in a self induced Trance.They are asleep. Be they Gay or straight, we all Live in our own Ghettos of complacency.Why do People only seem to embrace Life when they find out they are Dying.Don't wait, do it now!

I love this message. I wish more people would understand. This is the best video I've seen in a while.

Being gay today equates with being totally unconscious, what with the incredible intake of legal booze and illegal drugs designed to render us incapable of rational behaviours. The possibility of "conscious living" as outlined in this video is therefore so new and challenging to me that I have decided to investigate if I can embark on this journey of discovery that I clearly know will be a lonely journey as none of my gay friends are interested in "waking up", only in staying unconscious.
