More momo, y’all. This 24-minute sit-down may be his most powerful video yet. In it, he talks with Joanne, the woman in crisis who wrote to him (we read that letter in the last video), and helps her understand how she’s been essentially oppressing herself. Because she’s a caring, helping person, she makes herself transparent rather than […]

Here again is momo from the momo zone, this time with a 20-minute master course on manifestation. Here, he discusses the real meaning of manifestation and what it ultimately can bring you and through you, the world at large. He goes big, he goes wide, he goes deep.

I finally began exercising in earnest when I realized one night that I’d […]

Shoplifting. It’s not the worst crime in the world, but as a lifestyle choice, it sucks ass pretty hard. Here, in his own words, is what the life of a professional shoplifter looks like.
