Ep 16. Resting In The Mystery And Bliss Of Simply Existing, w/ Michael Wade

Love Is Our Nature

Sep 24 2021 • 55 mins

Have you ever seen two grown men cry over their love for one another? I’ve been fortunate enough to foster deep brotherhood with several men throughout my life, so that experience has not been uncommon. Mike is one of those brothers, and we had one of those moments here.

I met Mike in my first Ayahuasca Ceremony just over 4 years ago. We then had a weekly call for the next 18 months to support each other with our new intentions.

Mike is a successful stock options investing mentor, yet that’s probably the last thing you learn about him when you meet him. When I asked him what the most important thing for him is at his ripe 59 years of life he said “resting in the mystery and bliss of simply existing.” That is one of the things that I’ve always admired about Mike. For as long as I’ve known him, he’s made his life about experiencing that very thing while fostering a deep connection with the divine. And now he is on the path of enabling other people to do the same.

Mike talks about how his own suffering was the catalyst for his spiritual journey. He talks about the mundane experience he felt living life as a hamster on a wheel even though he had all the things that life taught him he should have to be happy.

He came to visit me in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica for a week and I was happy to invite him on the show to share about his journey. He called this week in Costa the most transformational week of his life! I was very impressed by that and in this episode you get to hear why it was so.

Mike has contributed greatly to my growth, and I hope that through this episode, you get to be contributed to by him as well. I think you will.

Much love always!
