EP 111 – A Journey Beyond the Veil with Michael McAdams

To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/DWFB7aM-GBo   Have you ever received a message that felt like it came from beyond — something too clear, too wise to be just coincidence? What if the voices we silence or label as imagination are actually spirit teachers trying to guide us? Can a message from spirit truly transform your life and mental well-being?   In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Michael McAdams, a lifelong seeker of truth and the author of An Angel Told Me So. Together, they explore the often-misunderstood realm of spirit communication and how it intersects with personal healing, mental health, and spiritual development. Michael shares his personal story growing up in a religious family, his early mystical experiences, and the extraordinary collaboration he had with his mother, who received profound written messages from spirit teachers over the course of 22 years. Dr. Adriana and Michael challenge common mental health paradigms by inviting a deeper inquiry into what is often dismissed as psychosis or delusion — and instead honoring the possibility that spiritual communication is a natural and healing part of our human experience.   In this episode: • The difference between spirit guides, angels, and disembodied beings • How to discern between imagination and divine messages • Why affirmations and intention are key to spiritual protection • What is the difference between spiritual experiences and psychosis • The importance of belief systems and free will in shaping our spiritual reality • Practical tools to begin or strengthen your connection to spiritual guidance   Resources mentioned in this episode: Michael’s website: https://www.spiritspeaks.com Michael’s book An Angel Told Me So: https://a.co/d/f4P58p7 The Urantia Book: https://a.co/d/4KRv3sP Message from Spirit Teachers: Spiritual Parchment Prints on SpiritSpeaks.com   About Michael: Michael McAdams is a lifelong spiritual seeker and the author of An Angel Told Me So, a collection of profound spiritual messages received by his mother, Wilma Jean Jones, over the span of two decades. With a background in traditional Christianity and a deep passion for metaphysics, Michael bridges faith and spirit communication through his work. He shares a personal journey of awakening, divine communication, and the sacred role of spirit teachers in guiding us through life’s challenges.   “We are not alone. We are constantly being guided, helped, and supported — but we have to ask, and we have to be willing to listen.” – Michael   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?
