Take Back Your Mind

What does the statement, “The Universe wants to experience life as me and through me” actually mean in practicality? Find out on today’s Life Question of The Week! Next, Michael sits with Dannion Brinkley. Dannion is an international New York Times best-selling author of the inspirational book series, “The Secrets of the Light,” “Saved by the Light,” and “At Peace in the Light.” After Dannion experienced his first lightning strike and nearly died (in total, he has survived four brushes with death), he radically changed his life and became a hospice and nursing home volunteer, which he’s been doing for over 43 years. He is the co-founder of the Twilight Brigade, an organization that works in VA hospitals and is dedicated to no veteran dying alone. Dannion offers inspirational lectures on the Near-Death Experience, palliative, hospice care, and integrative healing practices, and recently received the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service.  In this engaging conversation, Michael and Dannion discuss: -What Dannion’s life experiences taught him about the nature of life, living, and being both spiritual and human, and the eternality of our souls, i.e., no one dies -Dannion’s decades-long work in hospice and palliative care, particularly with veterans -How when we know we don’t die, life can become more entertaining and we can live life to the fullest with appreciation, curiosity, and wonder – and more! Please note: The guest’s video quality is a little distorted, but is entirely viewable.  And as always, Michael concludes with a brief meditation that encapsulates the energy of their conversation.

Next, Michael sits down with Caroline Cory, an award-winning filmmaker, author, and the founder of the Omnium Method of Energy Medicine and Consciousness Studies. Caroline has worked with world-renowned scientists and experts from Harvard Medical School, Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and Stanford University conducting scientific experiments on the correlation between consciousness, health, and the physical body.  Caroline founded Omnium Media, which tackles thought-provoking topics on the human condition and the nature of reality.

Her films include, “Among Us,” “Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible,” and “A Tear In The Sky”. During their evocative and wide-ranging conversation, Michael and Caroline discuss:  -Caroline’s lifelong paranormal experiences starting at age 5 when she saw bodies of light emanating energy and speaking to her telepathically; this led Caroline to put herself through rigorous scientific training and pursue consciousness studies to investigate and better understand what these occurrences were -How her extra-sensory perception experiences taught her that our ultimate purpose is to retrace our divine lineage and bring those divine aspects of our human selves to Earth -Caroline’s studying and filming work with children from around the world who can read while blindfolded, the various methodologies used, and how she developed her own methodology to train the brain to develop these faculties – and so much more!  And as always, Michael concludes with a brief meditation that encapsulates the energy of their conversation.

Today’s Life Question comes from someone whose brother is moving to another country to be with the person he loves, and while she’s happy he found someone, she’s skeptical about him making this life-changing decision for someone he only recently met. Next, Michael chats with acclaimed pop culture thought leader, speaker, life strategist, counselor, and author of “The Miracle Mentality,” Tim Storey. Tim is credited for enhancing the lives of millions and has traveled to 75 countries helping people to realize the best version of themselves. Whether one-on-one or in groups of more than 20,000, Tim is able to connect on a personal level with people from all walks of life, from entertainment executives, celebrities, and professional athletes, to adults and children in neighborhoods throughout America and in the most deprived and war-torn regions of the world. Through his several best-selling books, presentations, and strategy sessions, Tim’s mission is to bring to light all of the possibilities that are too often blocked by fear or hidden by one’s limited viewpoint. During this deeply insightful dialogue where Michael not only interviews Tim, but Tim also interviews Michael, they discuss: –How having a miracle mentality means feeling a sense of peace and joy despite life’s challenges, changes, and loss, and knowing you’ll get through anything regardless of what’s happening –Why it’s more important to focus on developing our strengths vs. trying to fix our weaknesses –Living in ‘the Mundane,’ ‘the Messy,’ ‘the Madness,’ and ‘the Miracle’ of life, and what that all means  –That it is natural for us to feel good and that we are wired for love, peace, and goodness, but we must learn how to bring it out, and that they must be practiced –How Tim’s travels and asking questions broadened his scope of spirituality and Christianity  –Tim’s new, upcoming podcast with Deepak Chopra, “Never Alone” – and much more! And as always, Michael concludes with a brief meditation that encapsulates the energy of their conversation.

Ike received and how he responded to that —His strong belief in giving and his generosity that fueled his charitable work in education —When Mark discovered Rev.
