MM Q & A: Final Thoughts
Transcript
what I'll do now I have just in a sense only minutes left so I'm going to compile the last few questions maybe into one sort of one set if that's all right you know and it's great that you folks ask these things you can always you know ask whatever is important to you and I would be trying to answer of course but personal questions seem a little strange sometimes to be dealing with because it shouldn't I do always think it shouldn't be important teachers and so forth you know we're just there to teach and
hopefully there to really represent something you know be as a supporter of spirit and you know a messenger so really the messenger shouldn't matter as much as the message but you know people ask and sometimes consistently so you know we just want to be respectful and help out as best we can so a couple of the questions are including the following common one birthdate and ancestry some of the answers I may give are maybe things I've covered in other questions in this system that we're doing this process that we're doing but
people ask about birthdate and ancestry and so ancestry my mother was Mayan which is Central America regions but Mayan and father was Italian so if my in an Italian or the ancestry I guess that you're looking for and you know whatever that is or means to people birth date I just don't even think birth dates are important I don't celebrate my birthday I don't know that I ever did it maybe since school days as a kid because I don't think it's important it kind of like why Jesus's birthday is a little
bit unconfirmed at this point I think it's great to celebrate it when people do Christmas but you know John of God Mother Teresa I don't know I think she's one of them and also peace pilgrim they're all teachers who just said you know the birthday is not important so I never really go there that I do know this I do know that there are a few published birth it's a few different ones on the internet from one what have the ones I've seen myself were actually incorrect but again they shouldn't matter but you
know so be it and when people say well what sign are you I I kind of get a kick out of it I'll say what time do you think I am and people will have their projections if they think certain things of me they'll say you must be this sign that they think other things oh oh I know you're this sign I've had people say I already know and they they tell me emphatically what sign I am you know almost always incorrectly but I think it's beautiful that they just you know they have their own perceptions and I I
do what I can to just you know I think it's funny and I think I just honor that and say oh well thank you you know for sharing but I don't think it's that important and I think it's I think most people that want to need those kinds of details about a person should really ask themselves why because they're trying to pigeonhole a person or try to satisfy ego based curiosities you know but it's to me it's not an insistence to avoid the subject matter but I think it's a great statement sometimes to say hey
guys it really doesn't need to matter you know and make a statement that way but again that's that's what I'll share so far alright and it just doesn't it's not needed so there you go okay it's best all do for now and let's see people want to know where I grew up and that sort of thing it's just I've covered too some of those details in you know and life a westcoast almost my whole life one end or the other of the west coast and eventually moved to Sedona Arizona so that's where I've been serving out of
the spiritual leader at unity of Sedona but that's kind of where I've lived my favorite place of living was the Pacific Northwest to be more specific I was only a few years in Oregon Southern Oregon and didn't like it it was hotter than a map would be small gear then thought would be I was looking for this lush green dream that they advertise you know for Oregon and Oregon doesn't have the clear cut a lot of the trees and it just wasn't what I was looking for I only stayed a couple of years but they were
amongst the least favorite of my years and but I did meet a really great friend a guy named Bruce he was a wonderful friend there and kept in touch with him until he passed away recently other than that I moved up further eventually in northern Washington State near the Canadian border and absolutely loved it all the years there you know really wonderful what is my primary purpose really it's about teaching people to reconnect with God it's about awakening Christ consciousness that that one thing or you could call it two separate things
but they're not really separate reawakening our connection to God and reawakening our Christ self I mean that's that's it man that's just so perfect and beautiful you know and I'm a messenger of that that I'm sure of I'm a part of that plan God's plan for the awakening of mankind you know I may fit your style or interest may not I just know that that's part of my purpose there are certainly other people too and some of us play a more significant role than others but some of us it's
absolutely I've known all my life men it's about there's something about this Christ thing I want to be part of that awakening so you kind of come in with a knowingness and you know I certainly had that and let's see people ask about you know what most people wouldn't know about me what's despite all the work that I do I think most people don't still don't realize how much I work on myself and desire to be a good person I think people just think either you are that because you're a spiritual teacher
or you're probably not because a lot of them don't live they'll live the life you know they don't they they talk it but they don't walk it and I really really work that down I mean I love being more and more connected and living accordingly and you know having kind of a gracefulness in my heart towards life and people trying to be of service and be helpful and so on I don't think most people know how simple I am I really don't think most people know that very simple and very frugal I
have some neat things some nice things first time in my life I ever got in new cars in the last five years or so but I have you know cool things in terms of crystals chimes fairies and angels that's my thing I have them all around me I love them in my yard and so I'm but you know fairly simple the nicer things I have really things that were gifts but I don't wear a lot of jewelry and almost like almost never but people gift me occasional a ring or something I might wear it but I just I am kind of simple I
have only a few changes of clothes a dozen per changes of shirts and the things I've talked about before in talks here and there jokingly but it's true couple pairs of shoes and I like to be kind of simple so a lot of people don't know that or wouldn't know that I believe in prosperity I do but I also have a very strong tendency to give a way you know give stuff away I give and gift for every bit of funds I receive I give I tithe to give you know that's tithing is different from just donating
or gifting I tied back to spiritual centers but I also give you know grocery store lines or wherever you know give where you see somebody's in need or some pay their bill form I mean I I love doing that I think it's great I'm not bragging and I'm just saying I believe that I love doing it but I believe that more and more of us can learn to do that alright and this is just along the one question you know along the lines of things that the people don't know about me I don't think people know how
dedicated I really like to be it doesn't know mean that I believe that I try too fast all the time and I'm celibate it's not that time of the type of austere or type of extreme old-school kind of dedication I love to be catted and dedicated to spirit I love reading inspirational material in the morning and when I wake up and doing prayer meditation communion but it's really a direct connection I don't do things like I don't meditate at God and pray at God I do you know call on God and let God
come into me and fill my present being you know with its presence I just love that connectedness I call it communion with God rather than praying at God hey you out there or somewhere give me this or that I believe in communion and feeling that presence and then letting the day be designed from that place within our hearts that presence so there's that but at the same time I believe in letting that happen with everything you're doing in your life bring that presence to your kids sports games or to your parenting or to
your workplace or lovemaking or whatever you do I believe in that so that's why I taught all these different topics like sacred sexuality or you know health or mastery or whatever it happens to be because I believe in anchoring that in all areas some areas aren't as easy as others to teach that to show people because they live in the old school where it's God is only supposed to be in some stringent kind of life or superstitious religious kind of life and they don't believe you can bring it into
things like finances or sexuality things that are taboo or seen as negative by extremely old school people so you know I hope that makes sense but I believe in bringing spirit into all things and that's why I chose to to write a book on intimacy sacred sexuality letting people know God is to be felt in all areas of our lives and so on and so I did a lot of work with people and healing abuse and so on but very very challenging area because people you know they get triggered you shouldn't be talking about
this and that you know so I've talked about this a couple of times in the last couple of years so I don't want to say too much about it again I don't like to be redundant you know but that topic has come up now and again because people say god I wish you would still teach a workshop on that and so it comes up why the reason I'm talking about it yet again is because people do ask and and I'm very clear I'm not but I don't feel called at all at this point to teach workshops again it's been several years
to do private sessions again even though it's private sessions are very you know honorable and sacred there's people with such wounding and such variation of what they're looking for Michael can you teach me this or can you do this or that or the other when it comes to sacred sexuality it's a very risky area to be talking and to even just to talk to people because if their mind is set on being triggered in some way they're they're gonna miss perceive what you're saying what you're doing what you're
recommending for them to learn or do so it's just it's just something I surrendered and let go of it you know that's the way it goes but I do believe that God's Spirit is supposed to be felt in all areas of our lives and I swear to you sexuality is one of them and if it's not today it'll be tomorrow that the world will more and more have to accept it it's going to be done inevitably so I did my part you know to bring that out to the world and whatever amount it helped great if they're ever confused
anybody or frustrated them or made them judge me or whatever I can only apologize for anything that was misguided or misunderstood but I would never say that I did it's a topic that should never have been taught I think it God in all things people don't know how much I love uh you know greenery and fairies and angels and you know nature in that sense not just nature nature but elemental nature I love that whole concept of my office is filled with all kinds of fairies and little statuaries and cool things and
crystals I dedicate each day I dedicate time talking to Holy Spirit and Jesus but like like they're right here I mean just like their friends you know and that's how really we should connect and let's see I don't think people know that I you know this is just divulging like personal stuff but when I'm driving in the car man I I sing alongs Tunes favorite music 60 seventies tunes and some new-age music I like listening to when I'm in my office or a home here and there you know parts of my home but in
the car man 60 70s and then a few hits from 80s 90s but 67 he's really and I just get right into it you know I can belt it out go sing in the Hollies or the Beatles or you know Moody Blues or whatever all right and there's even chick songs as they call them anyway they're there gal tunes you know I sing them it just feels like your channels you know I just get right into singing along to the Gallo songs like I won't name any particular ones but just the tunes about heartbreak and love and whatever it's kind of must be weird you
know people drive spc me you know I'm doing all the girl stuff anyway and most people don't realize that like I said pretty basic dress kind of frumpy always that the t-shirts and so on unless I'm on stage teaching then I put on a nicer shirt but kind of simple that way too I think I think a lot of people don't realize I'm I'm a lot more like a boy than a man I don't think I know the we were the word man just doesn't even sound right when I say it I'm a man you know or whatever I I
feel like a boy much more than a man and even though childhood wasn't great so it's not like I'm regressing to my childhood I just feel I have the energy of the love of items that are more childlike just if I looked at the last week of my life kinds of things I watch I mean they're cartoons or or kids movies it's the strangest thing in a cool way because there's a beauty and an innocence how they're done not interested in murder mysteries I'm not interested in horror movies or even
intense drama I'm part Italian and I've never seen The Godfather movies I have just don't have any interest they're dark and gloomy and you know murderous and whatever just doesn't do anything for me which I'm sure added just that much more complication for my family members you know why can't you be into this more yeah but and movies like Maleficent and Maleficent and so on seventh son those are you know those are just great anything you know with all that cool fantasy stuff is just
beautiful and and I think a lot of people when they say you know what what things don't people know about you or what you know along those lines those types of questions you know I was married it's kind of some people ask you know are you in a relationship where you married that sort of thing no I'm not married and haven't had a committed relationship since I was married and divorced around 1990 I've had primary partnerships like where somebody's a primary partner you know for several
years I tend towards several years and when I have a primary relationship but but I've loved that as much as marriage as much as intimate friendships any form of relationships are great or not having one if you're on a break from one I think they're all great they're all they all have their perks to have them not have them you know I don't I've never had what I would call promiscuity I'm not a big supporter proponent of that for myself or others I think people most of the time that's coming from an
unhealthy place wounding or emptiness in our hearts that we're looking neediness that needs fill so I'm not really a big proponent of that but but when somebody has had that I don't mind them talking to me divulging that at all we talk we heal would cry that's no problem but I'm saying I don't see that as a common recommendation from me to clients hey you got to try promiscuity or whatever it's usually people coming because they're trying to heal that kind pattern but relationships whatever works
for you you have a you know an intimate friendship or a partnership or a life mate or a husband or a wife or your taking a break I think they all have their their benefits I really do but a lot of people think they assume if I taught sacred sexuality that I must have been you know involved with people all the time teaching the workshops even the workshops are about intimacy and about healing but I know that certainly there's times that workshops or friends that I've had have had a good time had fun learning and meeting each other
connecting in a safe kind of sacred way a way that you know some people wouldn't be able to understand that because it's it's love and some people think love is constricted to one style or type or gender for that matter one type of gender but I've always enjoyed that I've loved seeing people meet people at spiritual centers where I teach they meet and they want to learn and they want to go apply those things in their life about love about communication or even about sexuality but they assume it
Michael must be Wow he must be or he must be he's teaches sexuality he must be really great with sexuality or whatever some people assume that and I'm saying that I'm actually more shy and simple more than people would ever even imagine I was shy as a kid I don't think I ever dated like ever I've met somebody that I ended up marrying but we didn't really date per se I never got dressed up and went on I went out on in today a date it's just things you could maybe have some people take for granted but I
just never did that it didn't have a great family situation where I could you know count on something where I could have a stability to be able to date and have something kind of normal like that but also you know my own shyness contributed to that but got married and stayed married and after marriage I in 1990 I just what am I gonna do I don't know even know how to date now that I'm 30 am I gonna figure out you know how to do that so I didn't really know where to go from there so it took some time before
even just meeting people but I would just meet them cuz I could listen to music and people would want to dance or something you know something and I would maybe eventually warm up to them and get used to idea but I thought I didn't date even then so I never really did it I just met them there dance a little have fun meet people but that was it go home on my own you know and but the spiritual touring and meeting people they're a little bit more and I watched other spiritual teachers and I watched how
they met people and would have you know like partners that would travel with them or partners people they would meet and and have as their intimate friends in these various towns that they would tour to and I thought well I don't want to I don't want to have a person in every port kind of thing so I eventually just got two years ago where I had a just a couple of people in my life that I would see out there somewhere when I'm on tour and meet with them and I really appreciate it it was a very very
important thing for me to be able to meet somebody that I could share an MSc with when I'm in their area because it gave me a friendship that I could trust so for me the intimacy was never like hey baby how you're doing you know to me this was always like such a heartfelt thing like you know God it was just so nice to be able to let down the guard and just you know just be me and and meet people and trust and share and it's somebody that was lit was a little hard because I didn't you know I came out of
a marriage and you know we neither of us wanted that to end but it ended it had to end it was time so it wasn't easy just to launch out and try to do something else so people assume if he look a certain way or he teaches these topics he must just automatically be that way I teach them because I teach I know how to teach here's the topic and I know how to apply it but I don't flippantly throw it out there just I gotta go to the post often spurt out spiritual teachings I also don't go out there and just you
know act out sexually with people I teach when the right time is there and the right people want me to teach and sexuality is safe for the right moment the right person so intimate friendships became really important to me having you know one or couple or whatever at different times in my life it was very beautiful and even if those eventually came to an end for different reasons someone could think that that was just a personal fancy and it was and it was very meant a lot to me there's really really one of the favorite things that
I've ever experienced is to be able to you know share a loving respectful connection with people it's it is beautiful for anybody and it was beautiful for me too and I don't think most people would know that or understand that so I hope that made sense guys and and I think that's it except the one last one that was given was you know do I have any secret wishes and well I don't know it sounds like we're running for Miss America you know I want world peace but are there secret wishes in a nutshell it
depends what you're asking spiritual wishes that we all go home then there's nothing else to wish for it done but it looks like from the notes as I can translate them it you mean like human wishes because God if I had one wish that didn't involve us all going home but life on Earth would be different I would absolutely insist upon no child abuse that would be number one because if you worked on child abuse likely you would be also helping humanity deal with adulthood issues because so many of our
adulthood issues come from child abuse is of various forms so yeah if I had three wishes one would be no child abuse and hmm you know it's a tough one to say or talk about but man it's it's rampant and it has huge effects on people and you know God I mean I it's hard not to even bring up other things like animal abuses and so on and so on and I just you know the world is just so twisted in so many ways people are in pain yeah if I could have one wish unconditional we should be going home all of us if it had to be a
stay on earth kind of a wish it'd be that everybody know the presence of God that would cure it all anyway but also I would wish upon people there's no abuse anymore I would love that if the human race could keep the population to something manageable a few billion instead of you know two or three times that number and a very personal wishes instead of humanitarian I went into humanity instead of myself and you might have met for me personally I don't really know that I have any personal wishes but if I could snap my finger and
have anything it would be billions of dollars I would love for millions and I because I would love to give money away I'd love to just man the things I would do man giving giving giving I just dig it so yeah that would be one and the only thing shy of that and my heart as a wish is to create a spiritual retreat I call it Eden Shire yeah I would love to do that and that's good too it's gonna take millions but I would be able to do a little bit of everything I just said I guess because it would be a lot of money
that it would take I would love to adopt or you know welcome children somehow there to be in a safer environment because it would be a large retreat a lot of acreage somewhere and then I just would love to rescue animals to God I would love it every kind of animal somehow keep them protected but just the love men you can see animals when they're rescued when when they get get passed you know the post trauma man when they come out just like people when they come out they can be themselves and I'm one of them
you know I came out of a life of constriction of various forms as a kid and then as married constrictions in my mind I'm not gonna blame anybody else but my own and to come out to come out and you know slowly find out who I am thought out from life from early life and and you know what is what is what does a healthy intimacy look like and what if true friendships look like and singing to Psalms and laughing and it's great it took spirituality that I knew in consciousness all the way down to earth for me all the way down to a root
chakra and emotional chakra my heart and soul all my centers were able to come to life more on that you know that came from my growth from my own awarenesses and prayers and healing but also it came in part because of the choices people around me made to be nice to be nice people to be trustworthy people and you know just a couple of glitches in life that I would have done differently loved to have protected my kids more from things that happened to them somewhere along the line in their childhood from somebody I would love to have had a lot
more money through my life as a kid my family had somebody in a conflicted way my father had money mother didn't and my father didn't give her any money so that was kind of a bummer but that's another story but even growing up and having kids you know I would love to provide it a little bit better we did okay but I you know it was kind of a drag but a lot of us don't have it when we were in our 20s do we you know so that would have been a kind of cool thing and and protecting them a bit more might have been cool right it
would have been great but it is what it is at this point and you know and and I would love to have been able to do more for people in terms of that topic you know sacred sexuality and healing sexual abuses but it's it's a very conflicted area so I just could only do what I can and then had to let that rest so if I had wishes yeah that area that subject matter I would love to see people heal that as well because oh my god they wouldn't abuse each other they wouldn't objectify each other they wouldn't you know traumatize
and use and so on you know so that's it's kind of a funny little Side Story sorry but when I started teaching this I taught this for many years since early 80s I think I first started teaching the sacred sexuality but along the way it happened where there were some directories online where you have gals guides tube mostly gals who were trying to dedicate their lives to being like sexual healers there their gals that are but they are if they're into the spiritual components and the healing components of sexuality so I'm not
talking about just lexer sex surrogates or counselors or or frosted sacred prostitutes I'm talking about people that were really wanting to do something wonderful for people and they were in directories and they were paying a lot of money people were even using them and they weren't realizing how much they were being abused or used even though they were trying to be good people they were being charged a lot and almost made into prostitutes online and so I thought one of the things I want to do men I'm
just sharing this because you know you guys are asking personal questions so one thing I want to do I thought let's make a directory yeah and I'm not gonna charge let them control the direct let them have their own lives you know remove all the the abusers that are still taking advantage of them let's do it let's you know so we made a directory of website in a directory we send an email out to all of them you're all welcome to go on this thing and the website you can write articles you can
be known as teachers with a brain instead of just you know seductresses of some kind that these other people are promoting you to be so out of maybe these sites out of all the people we approach maybe let's say there were a hundred I think five of them responded and got on to the directory like five this is something I paid for something I paid to create something I paid to sustain financially and gave it to them just to let it happen and monthly you know paying the Internet and whatever and only like five of them and I still
kept it up for those fives I like that five of them I kept that going and one of them was a male and I realized guys it's not just the people even the people in the work that say they believe in healing and sacredness they actually most of them don't there's there their brains too are messed up they're also programmed and used to abuse and being used and abused so I realized Michael what were you thinking Matt and so a big lesson sometimes I went too far in my life to try to be helpful and I learned you know I didn't
learn meaning I'll never help you but what I mean is I learned to to have healthier sensors or boundaries and not to go too far and try to rescue people you have to really keep a guidance system alive inside that says okay you know this in this case it would be help people when they want help you know and sometimes they don't know they want help so I you know I put it out there in case they did and some of them took that and said yes thank you once even one person says God thank you you saved my life you know it makes it
almost worth it to have wasted time talking to 99 others but the ratio sometimes doesn't pay off it doesn't feel like it pays off and so but I started having realizations and that was that sometimes they don't want that you know that healing as much as you would think they did so you know I had to let that doubt web I would let that website go before I even quit teaching but it was the first of a few stages so I quit I thought about not publishing my books on the topic anymore one or two I did thought about that but
too many people asked me to keep them so I did just I disconnected that website and the directory and quit the workshops many years ago five-day intensives and so on and then I also the private sessions very rarely what I do work now mind you it's hard to explain what that work is because it's counseling it's body work it's a variety of things but you know I just backed off even from from doing too much of the private sessions i simplified what I do all my years though what I love is what I worked with people
in this topic I I worked with people by teaching them that you didn't have to do like sexual tantric work all the time that most of the time you could do that same work with alternative means you could do other things that would bring up the same issues and so on and educate people but without doing I mean sometimes I literally when people wanted me to teach them anatomy and they wanted to like get to the anatomy and teach and learn literally touch contact on all that I would take it just would come to me and I one time I was on tour and it
was a at a person's house that somebody came to her session and I ran to the kitchen and I found fruit that I could cut into shapes and it's on an amazing channeled carving and boom boom boom it came about and I brought the fruit to them this guy and gal and they were like wow but and even if they would have actually preferred human anatomy hid still worked every it still worked perfectly so I felt like my job is to when people come to even learn such intimate risque topics my job was to teach them in the least invasive way
possible and in you know and all the time I did that work I tried to always err toward that to the non invasive invasive always sounds negative Korso I don't mean it to be that like it was always negative if it's contact I'm just saying the less confusing potentially confusing and risque and so on that's what I that's what I talked that's what I did in my workshops that's what I you know explain to people on and on but you know it's a it's a cool topic and I have full lectures on it you can
watch some of the talks and and mini talks online about it but that was my tendency and you know and still along the way you know it's just it's the aw that comes the honor and the it's awe-inspiring in a way to see what some people do when they heal when they just go god that area is so wounded and triggered and then when they get that turned around it's just I can't even explain what it feels like to have made a difference in people's lives like that but there are a couple times I know in
my life where I would have went you know I would prefer to have not given in and done something that was being asked of me in work like that alright there's a couple times and I went oh I probably should have steered a little left instead of right in my decision of what to do and not do in the work so a couple of regrets there in the work and a couple of regrets related to giving up the work but you know I know this I know this and it's worth all of us asking ourselves in our lives you know we all have work that we do on ourselves and
regrets we heal and all that but when you do work on yourself in regrets and such you know that one of the first things to ask yourself is your intentions and I really really believe and no intention lies I really and you know I really have a good heart I really believe that and so intent wise there was never an intention to harm but I still would have made choices a little differently a couple times in my life even even in my personal like coming out a little bit and meeting people a couple of times that you know I met people and
got involved but in one or so instances it was like you know this one just didn't feel right and that feels like a bummer because I have this I'm a little hard on myself sometimes and I would like to have you know no net that really caught on a little sooner than I did in some instances in my life but you know it is what it is and I am grateful that I know that rarely what I've done something in my in my life that would have been really stupid or selfish or hurtful on purpose the same for you just
remember that if your intentions were good I have people that say I wish I hadn't you know harmed my partner when I divorced them I asked him did you intend on harming them well no of course not I said then let that allow you to forgive yourself more more so because if your intentions were to hurt that's something you really need to work more on but if your intentions were not to hurt others then it's worth saying God you know it's that's okay that's kind of clean that's kind of nice and you give yourself a
break alright anyway I think that wraps up most of the questions birth dates and times and race and whatever and regrets and wishes and and I know I've talked about a couple of these things before but if that's my heart you know humanity's awakening it's always about spirituality and healing for me in a nutshell spirituality and healing so it's connecting with God and yeah seeing people heal from any issue abandonment sexual abuse prosperity issues all of these areas are sad they really are that
people suffer in any way and so I've tried to avail myself to help and heal in any way I can the people and for me retirement I don't think so ever but for me a dream would be eaten Shire a place where I could you know bring people that really want to heal instead of going out in the world and and fighting to find those people that want to heal that's a figure of speech but you know it still feels like it's something it's hard work sometimes to to go and get people encourage them to understand they can change their lives
myself for me the dream would be rest let them come to Aiden Shire I don't mean the whole world I just mean select people and and come there and heal and retreat for a bit and then go back to their lives or some could live there and almost that's God that's just so cool I try not to watch too many of those things online where people show eating animals when they've been taken out of a cage or animals that have been rescued from abuses it's kind of disgusting man but when they come to life and you see
the happiness on the largest cows to the tiniest kitty cats it's hard man because not only the the sad parts but I see those things and how happy the animals are and I just get like oh my god yeah come on you know I want to go and go and get it you know get eaten sure but I have to be patient it may be this life or another or this dimension or another anyway thanks for listening peace be with all of you we'll see you about like
