Know Thyself · E143 - Michael Beckwith: Discover The Life You Were Designed to Live · 15 Apr 2025 podcast

Yeah, in the month of March, I didn't speak at Agape. I still had some work things to do, but every March I tried to take off. And so it was Women's History Month, so I just had all my women ministers just speak. Ministresses? They killed it. Yeah. And so thus I stopped shaving, as you can see. And I was sitting down.

And since I didn't have what was beautiful about it, since I didn't have appointments to go to most of the time, I had moments of longer periods of meditation. I didn't have to like, okay, I only got 22 minutes here. I got a half hour. I could just sit as long as I wanted to. And so I sat and I started laughing because I was thinking about people going into virtual realities.

and then not realizing they're already in one. So they're in a simulation, they're in a virtual reality of time and space and constriction. And then they put something on and they go into another simulation. It just made me, it was funny to me. And I don't put down VR because you can use it to develop skills. You know, it has some very powerful benefits.

So I sat down and started writing this, you know, about the simulated dream. It took me two days. I mean, I wrote And then I had to go somewhere. Then when I came back, like three or four or five days later, I wrote the second half of it. And it was, you want to hear some of it?

You want to share? Sure, I'd love it. I used to write poetry a lot back in the day, and then I kind of got busy. Yeah. So it's called The Simulated Dream.

Yeah, one of my assistants bought this for my birthday.

So I started it on 3-26. Great. And I completed it on April 4th. Amazing. So it says, it's called The Simulated Dream. Oh, beloved traveler, seeker of the stars, do you not see the cage within which you play? A theater of mirrors reflecting who you think you are. Yet the essence of you lies beyond the fray. This world, this simulation, this grand illusion is shaped

by beliefs, perceptions, and imprints of the past. A mosaic of stories, a web of delusion, where shadows of truth are cast and recast. You've built a game within the greater game, virtual worlds to escape, which seems mundane. But how ironic, this digital distraction, when you already dwell in a scripted abstraction.

Every thought, every fear, every fleeting desire weaves the matrix of the life you perceive. But deep within, there's a soul on fire, whispering the truths the mind cannot conceive. Ah, dissimulation is not the prison. It's the teacher, a framework of lessons, a sacred disguise. Its purpose is not to bind, but to feature. the path to awakening, the opening of eyes.

For the ultimate game is not to win or achieve, but to wake up, beloved, to the eternal and the real, to shed the mask that your mind weaves and embrace the truth that no illusion can conceal. You are not the avatar, the role or the name, not the stories you tell or the titles you claim. You are the witness, the light, the eternal flame, the harbinger of love in this temporal game. So play.

Yes, play. But play with awareness, knowing that the stage is but a fleeting projection. Be the presence, the stillness, the boundless fairness, a beacon of truth in a world of reflection. For when you awaken, the simulation transforms. The false falls away and the real takes form. You're not here to escape, but to create, to anchor eternity in the tides of fate. Beloved, rise.

Be the harbinger of the divine, a lucid dreamer in the landscape of time. For the game was never to lose or to win, but to remember the truth that has always been.

Love that, man. That was great. Yeah, I felt good because I was like, when I was a little boy, I used to write in journals a lot when I was in elementary school. No one told me to do that. It's just something that kind of emerged as a kid. And I had stacks of them. So one day my mother found them under my bed, and she asked me what was wrong, if something was wrong with me.

I said, nothing's wrong. I'm just writing my emotions. And about two weeks later, they had me in sport. I was in baseball, did football, track. It was like, you know. And I can remember kind of cutting that part of myself off. So then I'm a senior at USC, and I have this spiritual awakening. And then a few years after that, there was something agonizing inside of my being. It was jittery.

I couldn't be comfortable. And I went to a place where I started writing. And this emergence of poetry just flowed out of me. I mean, volumes, volumes, volumes. So that which I had dammed up when I was a kid, and went into the masculine sport thing, you know, track and all of that, it got opened up again.

And so then I wrote a lot of music and then, you know, I've been doing Agape now for 39, on 39th year. And so you get busy. So being off, I just sat and as it started coming out again,

Yeah. The only challenge with it as I had to, doing it again, I had to see what my handwriting said. That word weaves, I was trying to read it for a while. I said, what was I trying to say? Then it finally came, oh, mine weaves. Because my handwriting should have been a doctor. I think...

Right. Yeah, poetry, music, directly heart connection. You know, it transcends the logical mind so people can actually feel something without having to tear it apart and think about it.

It reminded me that when I first woke up years ago, you know, I was balancing between this mystical awareness and science because UCLA at that time had a parapsychology department. And so like Mitchell May and Judith Orloff, a lot of those people and a lot of friends of mine were going through that because in this society they were deemed weird, you know.

So I was studying a lot of the science of mysticism. And so I was very aware of vibration frequency, non-local healing, things of that particular nature while I was exploring in my own consciousness. And that particular department doesn't exist anymore at UCLA. You know, they were way ahead of the game years ago. But now, from what I understand, it's not there anymore.
