In this deeply reflective episode, Mike takes us on a journey through the five most meaningful days a human being can experience. Some of these days are universal—everyone will experience them—but others are reserved for those willing to dive deeper into their spiritual journey and awaken to higher levels of consciousness.

From the miracle of birth to the realization of purpose, the understanding of living in the matrix, and the liberation that comes from disconnecting your internal state from external circumstances, Mike shares transformative insights and personal stories that will inspire you to see your life through a new lens. This episode is a call to remember who you truly are—a divine creator—and to embrace the profound meaning behind each of these five days.

Key Takeaways:

  1. You Are On Time and On Purpose: You are not a coincidence or mistake. You are a vital piece of the cosmic puzzle, created with specific gifts and a unique mission.
  2. The Matrix is Real: Most people live in a reactive state, but awakening to the truth of the matrix allows you to see that your external reality reflects your internal state.
  3. Purpose is the Game-Changer: Realizing and embracing your purpose is a profound spiritual awakening that aligns your life with meaning and fulfillment.
  4. Untriggerable Power: Disconnecting your internal state from external circumstances leads to emotional freedom and the ability to consciously create your life.
  5. Graduation Day is Not the End: The day your physical body dies is not an ending but a transition to the next chapter of your soul’s journey.

Notable Quotes:

  • “You are not a coincidence or a mistake. You are on time and on purpose.”
  • “The world you see is a reflection of who you are, not the reality that exists.”
  • “Your purpose is your cosmic destiny—it’s what you were born to do, and no one else can fulfill it.”
  • “True freedom comes when you stop allowing external circumstances to dictate your internal state.”
  • “Death is not the end; it’s graduation day. It’s the beginning of the next chapter of your soul’s journey.”

Speaker 1:

Let me tell you a little bit about how this mind works, how my mind works, and maybe yours doesn't work this way, and maybe there's billions of people on the planet that have this similar trait, the similar quality. But I don't prepare much for anything, but I always get exactly what I need when I need it, and what I mean by that is I very rarely eat. When I'm coming on a podcast recording, I might have a topic, but I don't have. I don't have a path. Okay, often, most times, sometimes, I'll have a little structure, but how I'm going to carry out that structure, I'm not. I'm not sure. I'm not. I don't have it all planned out. I'm not a planner. I might have a concept that I want to unpack, but I don't have this structured plan and I know people that have podcasts that you know. They they the planning stage or present presentations presenting. They have large structures and and if they rely on that structure and that works for them and that benefits them. For me it's pretty much the exact opposite. I might have a topic, I might have a little structure, but I don't have a plan and oftentimes when I'm jumping on a podcast sometimes, or recording, sometimes I don't even have a concept, or until I hit record and then I just start jamming.

Speaker 1:

But on my mastermind calls in the Interwealth Mastermind, the same thing happens is on Thursday mornings we have our community call, our Interwealth Mastermind group call, and I jam for a half an hour or so 20 minutes, half an hour on a topic and then I open it up for discussion and we'll have a good spirited discussion about that thing that I just shared. And usually what happens is my studio is in my basement, my home basement, and usually when I'm getting ready to walk downstairs for the weekly mastermind call, that's when I'll get the topic and oftentimes I get a download and when I jump on the mastermind call and I share it. It's exactly what somebody or a couple people in the community needed in the group, and this just happened last week again, where I didn't have a topic. But when I opened the door to come downstairs, it's like I got this massive download, and I love that. It's like my intuition always gives me exactly what I need. It's universal wisdom, god, universe, source, life. It doesn't matter. I get this download and it's almost like a gift that's coming through me. It's the universe saying here's what I need you to share with the people that are in your life. And today I'm going to share what I shared on that mastermind call, and I thought it was a pretty cool concept and maybe it will be for you too, but I want you to to see where you are with this.

Speaker 1:

Okay, what I shared is there are five very meaningful days that some people experience during the course of their life. Everyone experiences two of these days, but not everybody experiences all five of these days. And if you're listening, if you've been a listener for a while, and if you've been on the journey the Inner Wealth Podcast journey with me for a while, then I guarantee you that you've got more than two of these days because you're not going to listen if you don't have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. The concepts about the other three days. Now, if you've been with me for a while, you are a student of consciousness. You are a student who's looking to attain higher levels of awareness and continuing to open your eyes to new truths and to new spiritual experiences and to new levels of yeah, enlightenment. I guess being on a path of enlightenment and the other three days have everything to do with getting on the spiritual path and opening your eyes to these higher levels of consciousness and awareness. But some people if you watch humanity, most people only only experience the first day and only experience day number five. So we're going to get into this thing. Okay, the first meaningful day that you will ever experience and everyone experiences this day that's walking around alive. No shit, it's the day you were born. It's a very, very meaningful day.

Speaker 1:

Now, you were born at a certain time in a certain place, to a certain set of parents, and I'll attest to the fact that these are not coincidence and they're not mistake. You are on time and on purpose. The universe, life, god, source, our creator, whatever you want to call that magnificent thing that's running this whole universal dance created you in a specific way to live out a certain purpose, with a certain set of talents, a certain set of gifts, a certain set of desires. Because you fit in the cosmic puzzle in a super meaningful way that you filled a space that needed to be filled in this world, not not just out of coincidence, but out of absolute purpose. And without you we are not as powerful as we can be Now. You might not know why the purpose, the purpose of your life but you were born we're going to get into purpose later, in one of the other days but you were born and here you are, if you're listening to this. You were born now.

Speaker 1:

The day you were born wasn't the day that your life started, and this is important to understand. You don't have a life, you are life. You are the universal awareness, you are the universal consciousness, you are part of the divine. You are in lockstep and at one with the divine. You might not know it, you might not feel it, you might not experience it, but you are one with the divine. You have a mind, you have a body, but you are the soul in that body, around that body, that inhabits that body for the decades that you walked the planet. Now you might have taken your first inhale, the first act as a human being. The meat suits before, because this soul, the soul that you are is, is experiencing the journey of growth, and that happens over lifetimes and lifetimes and iterations and manifestations. And if you think about deja vu, and if you think about dreams, and if you think about, you know the mystical and the spiritual world that you know of thousands and thousands of years, the millennia, the greatest spiritual teachers on the face of the planet have always told us and always reinforced the fact that this isn't our first time around the sun and it's not going to be our last until we've attained enlightenment. And if you're breathing, you haven't Now.

Speaker 1:

Day number one everyone experiences this day. Congratulations, you're a miracle. Day number two it's the day. Not everybody experiences this one, but it's the day that you begin to realize that you are living in the matrix For a portion of the population. And if you're listening to this, and if you have listened to this for a while, you already have a sense, a keen sense, that you are living in the matrix, that the world that you see is not the world that exists, that the world that exists is a reflection of who you are. There's so much more to the world that you can't see than you can see that you might look like solid mass, but you are 0.00001% matter and 99.999999% space and energy, and your eyes deceive you and you are living in the matrix. The world is a hologram and the world and the circumstances that you experience, they shift because you shift, they shift as you shift. They are a pure reflection of who you experience. They shift because you shift, they shift as you shift. They are a pure reflection of who you are. You don't see reality. You see through your beliefs, you see through your expectations and you see through your pain stories, what's happening in your mind and body, and as you change, everything changes and you truly are living in a matrix, and not everybody opens their eyes to realize this.

Speaker 1:

Day number three I'm going to go back to day number one. You were on time and on purpose. You are on time and on purpose, and day number three is the day you begin to realize that you are on time and on purpose. You are on time and on purpose, and day number three is the day you begin to realize that you are on time and on purpose. So I've been teaching a lot lately the soul sciences and I've done a couple of podcast episodes on the soul sciences human design and gene keys and soul contracts and natal astrology, western astrology, mayan astrology all of these different forms, the life that you were born to live, all of these different modalities.

Speaker 1:

All they've done is reinforce the truth that I've always known is that we are not a coincidence or a mistake. We are on time and on purpose and although I felt insignificant and although I felt like a mistake and a sham for decades, once I locked into the truth that I am a significant, meaningful vessel in this world, a piece of the cosmic puzzle, just like you, and I am on time, on purpose. I am built for a mission. Specifically, I am one of one in a world of over a billion, just like you are, and the only time you'll feel broken is when you compare yourself to somebody else. The only time you'll feel less than is if you compete with someone else.

Speaker 1:

But you are not here to live anybody else's life. You are here to live your cosmic destiny. You are here to live your life purpose. You are here to surrender to your unique genius and your talents and your desires and don't worry about what anybody else wants for you and don't compare your journey to them. The day that you start to open your eyes, that you have a purpose in your soul, that you were given, you were gifted, you are blessed with a divine purpose in this world and you truly start to experience that purpose, that's when you'll realize that the plan was always for you to incarnate, because you have a mission to carry out that nobody else can carry out. You are a miracle. You are not just here as a happy accident. There was a one in 400 trillion chance you were going to be born, but here you are and you have everything inside of you that you need to have to possess to carry out your universal part of this dance.

Speaker 1:

Day number three is when you realize that you are on time and on purpose. Number three is when you realize that you are on time and on purpose. And day number four this is another one of those that not everybody experiences, but when you do, holy cow, does life get really, really fun and does it become. You even surrender even deeper into the fact that you're living in the matrix. Surrender even deeper into the fact that you're living in the matrix. But, if you notice, most people on the face of the planet are walking around here and, instead of feeling purposeful, instead of feeling like they have a purpose and they're living out a purpose, their unconscious purpose is to seek pleasure and to avoid pain. And that is a very unconscious way to live when, since you don't have a purpose, a real mission in your life, what you're waking up every single day to do is to seek pleasure and to avoid pain.

Speaker 1:

And the fourth most meaningful day in your life is when you open your eyes and you start to disconnect your internal state of consciousness and your internal world from your external consciousness and your external world. And what I mean by that is you no longer allow life to trigger you. You no longer you start the journey of no longer allowing life to control your quality of life. You no longer allow your money to control your emotions and your mind. You no longer allow other people to have ownership over what's happening in your body. You no longer allow accomplishments or achievements or any piles that you've accumulate to have an impact on what's happening inside of your mind and body, and you take full authority, autonomy, ownership, responsibility for what's happening inside and you start the process and you open your eyes to the process of becoming untriggerable. And when you, as you become untriggerable and as you lessen your the grip that the external world has on your internal state of consciousness and your internal state of awareness, this is when you become a truly conscious creator in the world. Because that's when you point your mind and you point your emotions in the direction that you want instead of what you don't want, and you no longer allow anything outside of you to dictate how you show up in this world, to dictate how you show up in this world, when you recognize and start to see the space that you can put between your external circumstances and your internal state of awareness, your internal state of consciousness, your internal quality of life. This is when you can fully step in to the powerful, divine, immensely magnificent creator that you are, because you'll no longer be reacting to life, you'll no longer even be responding to life. You'll be the chooser of your destiny. And this is why my workshop that's coming up in January, on January 10th and 11th in St Louis, this is why it's called Choose your Destiny, because we learn how to create a sense of clarity inside of us, a sense of certainty and we learn how to remain committed to the process. And by doing so, you become a conscious creator instead of an unconscious reactive to the world and the circumstances.

Speaker 1:

And the fifth and the last day, and the day that everyone will experience, is the death of the human vehicle, the perishing of the human vehicle. The body will cease to function. The mind, the human mind as we know it, will quiet. Everyone will experience that. Over 8 billion people walk in this planet and every single one of us will experience that. Over 8 billion people walk in this planet and every single one of us will experience that.

Speaker 1:

But here's what. Here's what most people don't truly understand about that it's graduation day. It's not death, it's graduation day and we graduate to the next life, we graduate to the next environment that our awareness, that our consciousness needs in order to continue to grow, in order to continue the journey to enlightenment, to a higher level of consciousness. On graduation day, our soul takes inventory of what went extremely well in this lifetime and what we left on a table, and then it may choose to put itself back into the circumstances of those things that we left on the table, of remaining or embarking back into that environment so that the soul can grow through that and take another chance, give itself another opportunity to learn those lessons. Because that's what this is like earth school. And we're here to learn the lessons Our soul is experiencing, experiences so that we can grow through all the challenges that keep us from being, keep our soul from being, enlightened. The fifth day, the final day in this human form, is graduation day into the next chapter of the story, and the next chapter of the story is the selection process of what the story after that's going to look like. And if you really reflect on your life, if you really get honest with yourself, you know that this lifetime for you has been a process of remembering who you are and remembering that you're a creator, not learning how to be a creator.

Speaker 1:

The first time I ever read a book called Conversations with God and now there's a couple of parts, but I would just recommend part one the first time I ever read Conversations with God, part one, it was like an act of remembrance. It's like my soul clicked in and said and my ego started to quiet and my soul took control of this vehicle and said okay, ego, your work here is done, I got it from here. I got it from here, no-transcript, and it's almost like my soul came here and for 43 years it was a fricking prisoner of circumstance, just so that I could relearn and remember that no circumstance needs to dictate or control the quality of my consciousness, and this is true for you too. Now listen, on day number one, when you're born, you forget that you are divine. You forget that you chose this destiny. You forget that you chose to do life again, to do this human life with the group of people. There's a group of souls in your life that you've known for eons and you've done life with them before and you're going to do life with them again. And on the moment of your birth you forgot all this. And on the moment of graduation, you'll re-remember all of it, and that's when you get to choose to do this all again.

Speaker 1:

So listen, there's no downside to this human lifetime. Five days, five beginnings of journeys. Not everybody will experience all five. You will experience the day you were born and you did. You might or might not experience that. You're living in the matrix. You might or might not find your purpose and realize that you're on purpose. You might or might not begin the process of disconnecting your internal circumstance, your internal state of consciousness, from your external world.

Speaker 1:

You will graduate and you will re-remember that you are the divine creator that chose to manifest and put on a meat suit with a supercomputer, to experience this, this amazing journey of being a human being. You will graduate and there is no risk to this thing. Whatever you don't get right in this lifetime, you get a chance to do it again. Chance to do it again. Relax, enjoy the journey. You are a miracle. You are a walking, talking, breathing miracle. You are spirit having a human experience, not a human having a spiritual experience. You are a miracle. Act like the miracle. You are Five days. How many of them will you experience? The choice is yours. If you enjoyed what you heard and you want to learn more, go to wwwinnerwealthglobalcom for more tools and resources.
