On the Feast Day of Saint Michael the Archangel, Mike dives into one of the most powerful yet problematic traditional Catholic prayers. While Saint Michael is famously known as the protector of God's armies against Satan, Mike reveals why his spiritual awakening has forced him to rethink the concept of a literal Hell and the existence of an external, literal demon.
This episode takes a deep dive into the problem of victimhood: Does traditional belief leave us weak and perpetually in fear? Mike offers a radical new interpretation, transforming the traditional image of St. Michael from an external savior into a powerful archetype of inner strength and clarity.
Discover the profound truth about your own soul’s infinite nature and why the real battle for your destiny is not cosmic, but entirely internal.
My podcasts target left-brained types like me, whose rigid view of life restricts us from considering things outside the tightly organized spiritual paradigm we either grew up with or built for ourselves.
Follow my podcasts to discuss serious topics like grief, human suffering, prayer, religion, and spiritual practices. I also cover things that I used to consider craziness or "woo-woo" such as: meditation, manifestation, spiritualism, spiritual awakening, reincarnation, past-life regression, the channeling of spirits and aliens (seriously...), soul groups, astrology, and even Chinese fortune cookies!
