JEAN: Welcome, Mike! Very excited to talk about what you’re doing.

MIKE: I’m happy to be here, Jean. Thank you. 

JEAN: You are a consciousness leader, a thought leader, a New York Times bestselling author. How did that happen? 

MIKE: Well, in the beginning, long, long ago, as a teenager, I was always kind of deep into the philosophical questions like, “Why are we here? What’s going on?” I would taunt the Catholic Church leaders and my mother and father with these questions, and never really got good answers. So, I started formulating some of my own, bizarre as that may sound. I mean, we’re all connected. You know, that God must be everywhere and in everyone, that everyone’s doing their best, and there can’t be a hell or a devil. I started poking around the fringes – ESP, aliens, Big Foot. That was the most exciting stuff out there that people weren’t talking about. Hypnosis, self-hypnosis, the powers of the mind and “like attracts like” and “when the student’s ready.” 

At the time it was Seth and Ramtha and a few others that showed up, and it just connected the dots and filled in so much more than I was able to deduce at the time. And so, as a young adult, I was already into the awareness that we are divine creators, and we create through the focus of our attention. And so, I’ve used that to my advantage in public accounting, then as an entrepreneur, and then as a teacher sending out Notes from the Universe. I was featured in The Secret, The Law of Attraction. Now there are 18 books I’ve written or co-written, and it’s just full guns blazing, still so excited, still discovering so much. You know, thanks to Geoff and Adamus – oh, my gosh! – now the path is red hot for awakening, self-realization, embodied enlightenment, awakening of the Christ consciousness within. Now it’s so clear and it’s so exciting at this time on planet Earth where the energy is just bubbling over and is ripe for our own ascension, meaning a raise of our vibrations to continue living here like we’ve never lived before.

JEAN: Absolutely. What a time to be here! After all this time, you have a huge audience. How would define the focus of your work? 

MIKE: Well, gosh, until the last few years, my message has been all about living deliberately, creating consciously. What you don’t like, you can change. What you want, you can have. You know, manifestation and the art thereof. That’s been my sole message, peppered with “We are divine beings.” 

But in the last few years, my message and my own learning has shifted to what’s truly possible beyond manifestation – which to me is otherwise known as self-realization, enlightenment, ascension, soul integration – where we can free ourselves from the illusions that are so hypnotizing and spellbinding and often fear-inducing. We can free ourselves from that by really being awakened to the absolute baseline that it’s all God, it’s all divine, everything is sacred, and we’re here because we chose to be here. We’re eternal beings in this playground. And to take that all the way would be to awaken the Christ within. 

This is the time of the Second Coming. Conventionally there’s this suspicion that Jesus might return. But I’ve learned that that reference of returning was that the Christ consciousness that within Jesus will come again to sweet planet Earth and awaken in all of us. And the things Jesus did, as he said, we will all do and far greater. That’s where I want to be. That’s what I’m helping people realize as their potential. 

You know, people are faced with a choice – love or fear – and they’re literally being separated as wheat from the chaff where we see this divisiveness and polarity. But when we work in cooperation with one another, instead of in competition, it’s a whole new game. 

JEAN: Humanity has gone through a lot of upheaval in the last few years. I’m curious if you have noticed any trends or tendencies in the post-COVID era. 

MIKE: Well, I’ve certainly witnessed and partaken in moments of enhanced self-reflection because of COVID and seeing the divisiveness in the world. I see the two camps – love and fear, inclusiveness or separation – and I’m kind of in awe. I have a sense that it’s playing out perfectly. I mean, that’s a naïve statement, but I have a sense that it’s going to play out in our lifetimes for the greater obvious good. 

Ironically, while I’m seeing divisiveness and polarity and anger and angst, it’s been brought to my attention by some of the people I interview that, simultaneously, there has never been a time where there’s so much openness, so much willingness to discuss the social crises, whether it’s racism or sexual orientation or self-expression. These things were not talked about five years ago. They were taboo, hidden, and suppressed. So now that it’s all coming forth, it’s like, “Oh, my gosh! We’re going to hell in a handbasket!” But simultaneously, there’s more love. There’s more sharing. There’s more assistance. There’s so much more of all the good. That is our nature for every one of us to see the good, to be the good. And so, with our inborn inclination to thrive and to see the light and to move with truth, now truth is being shared. 

Could I have done an Awakening Adventure ten years ago, five years ago? I don’t think it would have been as resonant as it is today. So, there’s a trend. I think we’re going in a direction that we will find very gratifying in the near future, with some unpredictable bumps and turns. [COVID] was the great recovery, the reboot, where everyone rearranged their priorities and saw things from a different light. It’s still happening, the healing this is. 

That’s the evolution of consciousness and we knew what we were getting into when we chose to be who we now are, alive where and when we now are. We get to be alive as the planet moves from the darkness of millennia into the light. In this lifetime, we’re going to see the light like it has never shown on planet Earth. 

JEAN: How did you come across Crimson Circle?

MIKE: [It was] one of those things like, “Where have I been?!” I think it was Daniel Scranton, who channels some Arcturian energy, he sent me a link where Geoff and Linda were being interviewed by Alex Ferrari (here). And I had to be peeled off the floor after I watched that hour, “Oh! This is exactly what I’m excited about! This is exactly what I want to learn more about!” I reached out and fairly quickly heard from Geoff and Linda, and it was like meeting long lost friends. It was just kind of a sense of camaraderie and joy, and Adamus came through and recounted briefly that we had worked together in one of the dark ages. I’m just so glad that our paths have crossed.

JEAN: What could you tell me about what viewers will get from Awakening II?

MIKE: One of the many blessings I got from COVID was devouring books on this topic of self-realization and embodied enlightenment. There’s so much information out there that I was previously oblivious to. And hearing the different perspectives from channeled sources has really filled in what I would call a mosaic, this beautiful tapestry of knowledge.

The first Awakening had six different channels. The second Awakening has six more different channels. So, there’ll be 12 in the entire series, and each one will be sharing insights on the path, and techniques on how to get there. Maybe it’s releasing repressed emotions or trauma. Maybe it’s releasing the invisible limiting beliefs. Maybe it’s an exercise in meditation to connect with your higher Self. 

So, it’ll be more about awakening, self-realization, a deeper understanding, continued confirmation that we’re all where we should be and that the demons you’re dealing with or the back pain or the diagnosis is the perfect gift to open you up to exactly what you were most missing. 

We’re all walking each other home, only to find out we never left. We’re still home! Too often, enlightenment, ascension, self-realization gives the picture of, you know, you get it, and then you just buzz off beyond the illusions. You mastered the game. No! Not now. Not with the changing energies. Now with full self-realization of our divinity, of our power, of our support system in the unseen, we will live like we have never lived, transform planet Earth in ways that are unimaginable. This is why we wanted to be here, and I’m so honored to be having this conversation and connecting with Geoff, Linda, and Adamus. And, oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh, it’s unbelievable! Really unbelievable.
