Mythic mycelia! Alma mater of all matter. Holy Mother Nature. She who receives Heaven’s fertile Om, the hum of soul’s rich humus. Progenitor of humming Homo Sapient and Hiroshima :)
Huge again Michael. Words of good. Floating now in wind. Passing through us, all around. In my mind, it tips balance. Once enough go beyond, society's call - tired, bruised, battered/food to table, duty, love, all. Will we "will" the manifestation correctly in? This darkest time before light, this night. I'm Batman, we all say in unison now and (en-) lights (meant ments) tsunami's cymatically changing land. Everyone having a hand, including Michaels words here tonight, if you understand. A Blessing.
gratitude gratitude gratitude, Mr Meade .. 🙏❤️ in the morning of the night ( i was very sad/angry/fearful about my test results) i saw my grandma in my dream who was a great healer in her small village .. i had stayed with her a lot when i was little .. she was tired in the dream and i was trying to comfort her this time .. i want to be with the dream in the coming days and hope to receive the message she wants to give .. ❤ her so deeply 🙏
i’m glad you pointed out the struggle of the indigenous people whose tradition and practices have been deliberately dismembered from their connection to land and its inhabitants. and so in modern times, because of the collective trauma of natives, it’s been challenging to rebuild community. and so perhaps they are forced to tap into the eternal force within themselves as a resource that can never be taken away
I am reading your book, Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements of the Soul. Wonderful book. Destined to be a book that gets read more than once or twice.
Extraordinary! Great gift. Your prayer, our blessing is not pronounced “clumsily” rather it is very well articulated and of great worth! IMO. Invoking a powerful gratitude for the visionary work you are doing at this crucial moment and the tremendous gifts you bear.
this was very very helpful.. to know that everyone has felt abandoned at some point in our lives.. i have BPD and my life us very very difficult because of my lack of emotional stability. ❤watching from Toronto 🍀🌟 blessing to all 🐿💨
I think the problem is many of us feel trapped in the 9 to 5 jobs in order to pay for a roof over our heads. So it is pretty difficult to find the creative self within. Not because we don't want to, but finding an escape is difficult.

I have been abandoned by my birth family over and over. My wife left me, and is trying to get me thrown in prison. Claimed our baby is a rape baby in court. It’s a horrible lie. I feel connected to my soul, divine self, inner spark, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Betrayal Seems to be getting worse as I get older. Could use a little wind here.
Other people or situations you find yourself in are not fully in your control. What is in your control is: Your actions. Choosing to be either bitter or better. Resentful or responsible. Victim or adventurer. You have valid reasons to take the wrong path, but you choose not to do so despite having justification. Instead, you choose to put your act together and stay straight. That's where you find your greatness. You're greater than all your pain. "Bring it on," you say.
@@NishaKumari-ry7tc cheers. some days are better than others, but I’m here for it. wherever the fates may lead, we are taking destiny into our hands, fully intent to bring it as best we can.
oh wow! new upload. Thanks so much for all your work. Just stumbled on it & working on my life & getting a proper career...it's been tough. And not abandoning self has been a failed endeavor for some time but i want to keep moving forward now. Not even being tired of things, although that's it...but moreso self-compassion & willingness to stop neglecting myself. Let's hope we all get what we need & hopefully what we want
Michael, I’m so very sorry that until now, it never occurred to me to use your comment section to connect with you. Thank you for the work you continue to do and for doing these videos. They speak so clearly to the issues of our time and to me. The poem you chose this morning is one I will cherish. Thank you for dedicating your life to this work.
“The calling (our genius) is a vocation that is chosen by the divine for us. Our genius has been in us since the beginning and that is what we are here to awaken too.”
Dear Michael, much as I agree with you about not jumping to conclusions based on limited evidence, i.e.coming up with simplistic "conspiracy theories" to make oneself feel better about the rapidly changing circumstances in the world, I think that dismissing explanations that do not conform with the general consensus narrative about the way the world works in the social, economic and political spheres of life is misguided. Our western media is highly controlled by plutocratic interest groups and has become a powerful propaganda weapon to control public opinion and to try and persuade us that this carefully shaped "story" is the reality. I am not denying the reality of the mythic realm in this.
grief cripples me debilitates me paralyzes me I want to die grief rapes me my soul is tortured I am breathless in my pain I am bereaved in despair hopeless helpless anguished and tormented and begging and waiting just to die all I do is suffer I'm in hell with no escape
