The Soul Unleashed With Mike Nicholas

How does a left-brain person interpret the Biblical prophecies of “The Rapture” and the description of The End Times? What do Islam and Judaism have to say on the subject? What do YOU believe? In this podcast, I review some of the belief systems and their interpretation of the “Day of Judgement” and their concepts on hell and punishment.  Of course, I also provide my own perspective!

Biblical references used in this podcast: Daniel 8:14 (Used by the “Millerite Movement”) and Daniel 9:20-27 (the “Seventy Sevens”), 1 Thessalonians 5:1-17 (End Times).

The GOOD NEWS referred to in this podcast:

1. There most certainly is an all-encompassing, universal being of Infinite Intelligence and Love

Follow my podcasts for discussions about some serious topics like grief, human suffering, prayer, religion, and spiritual practices.  I also cover things that I used to consider craziness or “woo-woo” such as: meditation, manifestation, spiritualism, spiritual awakening, reincarnation, past-life regression, the channeling of spirits and aliens (seriously…), soul groups, astrology, and even Chinese fortune cookies!

The post #100 Reassessing Revelations – A Practical Look at The Rapture and the End Times appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

I borrowed title this from the song by John Mayer and the “Not A Sermon, Just a Thought” spot by Pastor Lon Solomon.  I discuss the “strategy” of hope – of waiting not only on the world to change, but waiting for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to solve our problems. Isn't there a better way?

These are the scriptural references I use in this podcast:

The post #99 Are You Waiting On the World To Change? appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

In this podcast, I explain an embarrassing situation in Lebanon when I was trying to get my “orb camera” working in my hotel room. I also provide some examples of “manifesting” or positive thinking with regard to a large motorcycle ride that I was privileged to lead this past weekend.

If you want to better understand the “orb” phenomena and what the camera is, check out my podcast #35 at https://mikenicholas.com/35

The post #98 Manifesting Examples with Lebanon and with Motorcycles appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

The real spiritual miracle is going to be if this thing ever gets posted….. These are some brief thoughts during my journey in Lebanon..

The post #97 Reflections on Spirituality from Lebanon appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

Should children learn about “New Age” things if you, as a parent, believe these concepts? Should children be first “grounded” in some type of spiritual understanding – even a religious understanding – before being exposed to “New Age” perspectives?  That is the subject of this brief podcast.

The post #97 Children and New Age Concepts appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

In this podcast I discuss some “new age” ways of describing what happens when we die, and what our departed loved ones may have experienced.  I found comfort in believing that they experienced this, and that they experience “heaven” in this manner.

The books to which I refer in the podcast are:

The post #96 An Unusual Perspective On Grief appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

This is a short update on my latest orb adventures, and an experience with a bouncing orb!  One minor correction: I started to see the orbs in May of 2020. I think I mention 2023 on the podcast, sorry.  A video of the bouncing orb is on my Facebook page https://facebook.com/NickMDN and on my Youtube channel @mikenicholas-unleashed (although the Facebook version provides a wider look at the phenomena…)

The post #95 An Orb Update and a Bouncing Orb appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

I know that it sounds glib, but change your attitude and change your life! In this podcast, I talk about how I used the concept of “manifesting” and “segment intending” to change my attitude towards life.  You can too!

The post #94 Put On A Happy Face and Change Your Life appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

As a joke, I asked Alexa to give me the Meaning of Life.  To my surprise, she had an answer!

Here are the quotes to which I refer in my podcast:

This is the full quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: Roosevelt, Eleanor. You Learn By Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life. Harper & Brothers, 1960.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be. Your life is your own. You mold it. You make it. All anyone can do is to point out ways and means which have been helpful to others. Perhaps they will serve as suggestions to stimulate your own thinking until you know what it is that will fulfill you, will help you to find out what you want to do with your life. Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life. All of life is a constant education. [And] the giving of love is an education in itself.

It’s your life—but only if you make it so. The standards by which you live must be your own standards, your own values, your own convictions in regard to what is right and wrong, what is true and false, what is important and what is trivial. When you adopt the standards and the values of someone else or a community or a pressure group, you surrender your own integrity. You become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do. To be mature you have to realize what you value most. Not to arrive at a clear understanding of one’s own values is a tragic waste. You have missed the whole point of what life is for.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence. People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.

If you can develop this ability to see what you look at, to understand its meaning, to readjust your knowledge to this new information, you can continue to learn and to grow as long as you live and you’ll have a wonderful time doing it.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”

Quotes from Napoleon Hill, Hill, Napoleon. Think and Grow Rich. The Ralston Society, 1937:

“Truly, Thoughts are things, and their scope of operation is the world, itself!”

“You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”

The Bible NKJV:

Ecclesiastes 1:2

The real meaning of life, both now and in eternity, is found in the restoration of our relationship with God. This restoration is only possible through God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who reconciles us to God (Romans 5:10; Acts 4:12; John 1:12; 14:6). Salvation and eternal life are the gift of God when we trust in Jesus Christ as Savior. Once salvation is received by grace through faith, Christ makes us new creations, and we begin the journey of growing closer to Him and learning to rely on Him.

And, finally, this is the Mike Dooley book: Dooley, Mike. Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams. Atria Books, 2009

The post #93 Alexa explains the Meaning of Life appeared first on The Soul Unleashed Podcast.

I believe in the concept of “reincarnation”, but the struggle to define that concept suffers from the different perspectives of religions, scholars, critics, and proponents alike.  But can a “Christian” believe in the basic concept of reincarnation?  I discuss whether that is possible, and I call it the “grafting” of reincarnation onto Christianity.
