The Soul Unleashed podcast is for type-A, left-brained spiritual skeptics who know something else is out there beyond their highly organized lives, but they don't know how to find it! Join host Mike Nicholas, a recovering left-brainer who endured a painful spiritual awakening, as he leads fellow tightly-wound seekers on a journey of self-discovery. With abundant humor but a profound lack of exotic incense and strange flowers, Mike is on a mission to help others unleash their souls from the dogma and controlling beliefs that dominate their lives, and help them break through to inner peace and happiness.

#159 The Spirit of the Bayonet - A Left Brain Adventure.
In this episode, I'll share a personal story that shaped my journey toward embracing a more left-brained perspective. From my early days in the military to grappling with profound experiences of loss and transcendence, I'll explore how my worldview evolved and how I came to reconcile seemingly disparate elements of belief. Join me as I recount my time in the army during the Vietnam War era, where bayonet training served as a stark initiation into the realities of combat. Through vivid recollections and reflections, I'll uncover the transformative power of facing one's fears and embracing the unexpected. ======================================= My podcasts target left-brained types like me, whose rigid view of life restricts us from considering things outside the tightly organized spiritual paradigm we either grew up with or built for ourselves. Follow my podcasts to discuss 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!
