Be Mythical

The Goddess returns: Restoring Her as a metaphysical truth - Mike Bais


Listen Later

In this week’s show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is Lian’s own Kabbalah teacher, a physiotherapist, counsellor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure.

His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK. 

After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon.

Mike sees it as his life’s work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows.

Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2.

In this episode, Lian and Mike explore the sacred return of the Goddess as both a metaphysical truth and a living force within creation. Together, they journey through the ancient traditions that once honoured her, the distortions that led to her exile, and the path of remembrance that is now unfolding… personally, collectively, and spiritually. This is a conversation that reaches far beyond symbols or stories, into the very structure of existence.

Lian reflects on how the Goddess often first speaks to us through dreams, symbols, or visceral moments in nature, long before we understand her metaphysical roots. Mike offers a crystalline transmission of her role as the body of creation itself, sharing insights from the Kabbalah, the Asa tradition, and his own devotion to restoring her presence within spiritual life. They also explore the risks of over-personalising archetypal experience, the need for balance between the God and Goddess, and the humility required to truly let her transform us.

At the heart of their conversation is a powerful remembering… the Goddess has never left. She is the fertile earth beneath our feet, the womb of every form, the shimmering thread of the divine clothed in matter. What has been forgotten is not her presence, but our capacity to see her. This episode is a call to reawaken that vision, and to live as if she truly is the body of the world.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:
  • How the Goddess is not merely symbolic or a mythical story but a metaphysical principle, matter itself infused with the divine

  • Why the erasure of the feminine from spiritual traditions created imbalance, and how restoring her brings both beauty and truth back to creation

  • How to recognise the subtle ways the Goddess calls to you… and why honouring that call with humility and discernment matters more than ever
