Beckwith is a spiritual teacher and ordained minister affectionately referred to as “Rev.” In his early twenties, Michael experienced an authentic spiritual awakening. He immersed himself in meditation, prayer, the study of spiritual/metaphysical texts, and spiritual technologies to transform from within and expand outward. This expansion led to Michael founding the beloved Agape International Spiritual Center in 1986. Initially a small vision group, Agape grew exponentially over the next three decades, creating a respite of inclusivity, spiritual guidance, and education, and fostering a community with love and the potential for meaningful life that continues to grow to this day. Michael continues to innovate within the spiritual space, most recently with his wildly popular podcast, Take Back Your Mind, in which he and his spiritual peers discuss a wide range of topics that uplift and educate listeners toward their highest potential. The bestselling author of Life Visioning™, The Answer is You, and Spiritual Liberation, Michael’s books bridge science and spirituality, inspiring and improving readers’ mental wellness and ultimately changing their lives. These transformations continue to garner the attention of notable figures such as Oprah, Ellen Degeneres, and the late Larry King, allowing for Michael’s message of trans-denominational spirituality and transformative living to reach an ever-increasing global audience. ================= MICHAEL BECKWITH ================= 📘 FACEBOOK ▶ https://www.facebook.com/Michael.B.Beckwith/ 📸 INSTAGRAM ▶ https://www.instagram.com/michaelbbeckwith/ ▶️ YOUTUBE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@Michael.Bernard.Beckwith 🌐 WEBSITE ▶ https://www.michaelbeckwith.com/ ================= AARON ALEXANDER ================= 📸 IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/aaronalexander/ 🤳 TIKTOK ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@alignmethod 👉 SUBSCRIBE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@AlignPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 🌐 WEBSITE ▶ https://www.alignpodcast.com =========== TIMESTAMPS =========== 00:00 Intro 00:16 The Greatest Lie Humanity Believes 07:00 The Playbook for Waking Up 10:39 Are You Afraid of Anything? 15:25 How to Pray and Feel Connected 22:41 What Manifestation Really Means 29:48 Finding Gratitude in Crisis 36:13 Words That Keep People Stuck 44:19 The Illusion of Separation 53:51 Is Suffering Necessary for Awakening? 58:29 How to Handle Hate and Resentment 01:09:37 Final Reflections ====== ABOUT ====== Aaron Alexander is the best-selling author of The Align Method and host of The Align Podcast — a Top 10 Philosophy show with over one million monthly views.
