Summary
This week we are joined by world-renowned spiritual teacher Michael Beckwith, who guides us on a deep journey of awakening and becoming a conscious creator of our own destinies. He illuminates the power of intention as a guiding force in our lives, and explains how by aligning our human will with the divine will we can unlock our greatest potential. He then explores the process of eliminating self-limiting beliefs and seeing through the illusions that hold us back, teaching practical methods to shift any negative thought into gratitude.
Michael reveals what most people are missing in order to truly manifest their desires, outlining the 4 crucial stages to become a conscious creator of our lives. He also emphasizes the importance of clarifying a strong, compelling vision for your life, while addressing the common challenges that arise on the spiritual path. He encourages each person to recognize and harness their own unique gifts, which he says have the power to change the world.
Throughout, Michael masterfully weaves the theme of participating in the unfolding of our destiny, and the transformative power of prayer.

| 0:17.6 | You're supposed to not conform. |
| 0:19.4 | You're supposed to transform. |
