Celebrating Nick Good

RIP Nick Good - A Warrior Poet Angel - The Adventure Continues

"LIFE IS A GRAND ADVENTURE – LIVE THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. Your pain is the breaking of the shell which encloses your understanding."

Michael MackintoshA personal celebration of his friend and co-creator Nick Good

Nick Good was a warrior poet angel. He was a wild man with an angelic presence who inspired everyone he met to go to another level. He truly lived impossible dreams and lived a life of adventure over and over. He was hardcore and had a heart of gold. A pure heart he wore on his sleeve - fully allowing all of life to flow through him.

The day before he passed, he left me a long message sharing what was going on with him.

He was hardcore in his pursuit of truth and he loved God deeply.

He was one of the greatest lovers of life I've ever known. He never complained about anything, injuries, challenges, illnesses—he'd just brush it off.

He was always in awe and wonder of life, always pushing himself and others toward their highest potential.

He seemed to never grow old, no matter how the years passed and most who knew him thought he would live forever.

Nick was genuinely connected to God and the mystical realms. He saw the fairies and was tapped into nature spirits and deeper mythical realities.

He loved being on the edge—literally sitting right on the edge of cliffs where others would step back. That was his style.

Genuinely fearless. Not even trying to be fearless. It was just his way with life - full power. Fearless from the heart.

In his own words:

"Once upon a time... I once kept a Chipmunk as a pet. I had him in a cage in my room. He would spend every second of his waking hours passionately and feverishly trying to find a way out of that cage. I had fashioned a small leather jacket for him, from which I could tie a leash. Imagining that I could tame him somehow and take him for walks outside. Every time we would venture out he would simply fling himself in every direction in his ceaseless desire to escape. Eventually I set him free.

We all have something inside of us that yearns unceasingly for its freedom. I am in touch with it. It is my spirit and it is the spirit of life. The world today is calling each of us to heed the cry of our inner yearnings and to open the cages of our closed hearts and minds. It is time for us all to break free from the chains of misconception and dissolve the shackles and fetters of our false and ignorant judgments and denial of the true greatness of ourselves. Life is a wonderful and amazing journey. If you are not experiencing it as such then it is time for you to live it that way.

We all face challenges in life. Challenges are a natural and necessary part of growing. There is no genuine, authentic evolution of consciousness without challenge. The challenges we all face today in the modern world are fast assuming the appearance of overwhelming and impossible to meet proportions.

There are many tales, stories and legends of heroes who surmounted impossible odds and accomplished extraordinary feats and deeds of valor. Some of them are history, some of them are myth, all of them are true. The reason why they are true is because they are communicating the most vital message that you should well understand. The immense difficulties and trials humanity is facing today and the shocking revelations of the powers of darkness active in the world are throwing down the gauntlet in front of us all. The big question is, will you pick it up?

Rather than waste time in our petty judgments and political debates we should see the immense opportunity which is presenting itself here; in order for us to demonstrate our true greatness we need an impossible puzzle to solve; in order for us to shine with our true brightness, we need an equivalent amount of darkness in which to blaze; in order for us to demonstrate our true strength we need an impossible foe to wrestle and in order to express the power of Love that we are, we need an unforgivable wound to forgive.

Life is not a little game. It is a big one. Life is not a cheap, soap opera sitcom, it is a soul shuddering epic event. You are being called to face your personal challenges and we are being called to face our collective challenges together for the raising of the consciousness of the world. In the same spirit that David met Goliath, Jesus met the cross, Skywalker met Vader and Avatar defeated the machine, we must, like Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurushetra, wipe the tears of ignorance from our eyes and see the world for what it truly is. Like reluctant Hobbits facing the hordes of Mordor we are looking for the savior in someone else but all these challenges, unbeknown to so many, are initiations of consciousness, for the benefit of soul.

Life for me, is the journey of a spiritual warrior. This journey, this quest, is a series of initiations through trials, tests and challenges. The soul is deeply embedded in the fertile substance of creation and we are being called to reveal our true greatness. I specialize in assisting you in this process."

Thank you brother

I knew Nick for about 25 years. We lived and worked together, and he was like a brother to me. I call him Brother Nick because he really is a brother to me.

I first met him around 2001 when I was teaching a meditation class. He bounded into the class, all 6'4" of him, and sat two feet away from me, introduced himself, and invited himself to stay in our back garden spiritual community. Funny days they were.

When I met him, he had just healed himself from Hodgkin's lymphoma—the same cancer that killed both his brother and his dad. While they died, Nick lived in Findhorn, Scotland, growing wheatgrass and drinking nearly a quarter gallon daily while delivering it to everyone else. That was Nick - constantly doing service from his heart under challenging conditions with a big smile on his face.

The wheatgrass cured his cancer. He was always about upgrades—constantly pushing to the next level.

Nick was born in England, and as soon as he could, he went off on his adventures, living one impossible dream after another, traveling all over the world, traveling to the craziest places, surfing big waves, inspiring people like a magical wandering force. His whole life was crazy story after crazy story - touching hearts along the way.

Nick's life was about service and finding out the depths of the soul, psyche and patterns of life that make everything work.

He was deeply fascinated by understanding the psyche—the soul. He studied astrology, the Gene Keys, the I Ching, human design, archetypal patterns. He wasn't afraid of the dark—he explored it, understood it, and helped others navigate it. He was unflinchingly honest about the spiritual battle—what it means to pursue God while being human.

In his last message to me - a day before he left - he said:

"What is this container of the psyche, of the soul, that makes us so different? It's replete with energy patterns. If you want to understand someone, you need to understand the situation they were born into and what their astrology is like."

He spent his life diving deep into his own inner world and uncovering deep insights about everyone.

The Power of Vision

Nick and I used to get up at 2 or 3 AM and do deep meditation together for many months, holding vision of what we wanted to create. Those visions became reality. Miracles, Amazing Grace, wonders and blessings.

Back in 2007, I was going through a difficult time. I held a vision of living in a beautiful place in the tropics, doing what I love - and magically on cue - Nick sent me a ticket to Hawaii. I left in 10 days.

A lot of what we did in the last 20 years was inspired from those 2 AM sessions—showing the power of deep intention and early morning meditation.

Even in his final weeks, Nick was back on his 2 AM meditations—still doing the deep work, still holding the vision.

Superhero Training

We created Superhero Training together in 2007—the name perfectly sums up Nick's vibe: how to achieve your higher self, how to become the greatest version of yourself. He wrote "Amazing Grace" with David Wolfe, and created countless programs, books, and trainings - most of which you can access for free on his site: Explore Nick Good's personal development website

Nick did personal retreats, taking people into intense situations to help them face their fears and go to the next level.

He said to me recently that he'd spent his life being the warrior, the lover, and the adventurer, but now he wanted to be a king.

I loved that evolution.

In Nick's words:

"Yes indeed success is a very personal thing. They say I am the only man in the world to have happily carried a 250lb Maori Warrior Healer across a bed of broken glass bottles barefooted and unharmed. When I was doing it, the very first step I took with my left leg, I stood upon the sharp crystal spike of the heel of a champagne bottle. A micro-moment before one of the cameramen had asked a question and my focus wavered as I landed on the spike with over 400lbs pressuring down. It was a moment of choice to allow myself to skim off it or to press on. Well I pressed on and very quickly was singing Hallelujah for the rest of the way. I am still pressing on today in different ways. What I want you to take from this story in Life is that Life is a series of initiations. Modern civilization has not provided us with the levels of initiation that Life naturally would. Our trials in the modern world are the diluted and impotent, the smoke and mirrors of the dark lords who tempt us with their illusory world."

His Final Work

In his final days, Nick was diving deep into this work, mapping energy cycles and archetypal patterns to help people navigate "this extraordinarily intense time where everything's being deconstructed."

The day before he died, he reached out saying, "I am calling in your presence in my life, bro. I need this connection. Everything's energy."

He was on the battlefield until the very end—never resting, always seeking, always growing, always serving.

While I don't yet know all the details, I have been told that Nick died in Bali from heart failure. He felt everything deeply up until the end.

His Message

When I tuned into Nick after hearing the news, I heard him say, "I'm flying, I'm flying, flying." Then "Manmanabhava"—Connect your mind to the One.

"So success for me is being in tune with Life. Living with and in The Flow. I accomplish this through practice. Success then is based on practice."

Honoring Nick

I'm giving away all our programs—Superhero Training and everything Nick and I created—completely unlocked. Link in comments.

Nick would want you to use it, to upgrade, to go to the next level.

Nick Good was one of a kind. He lived impossible dreams. He healed himself when others died. He lived on the edge of cliffs. He got up at 2 AM to hold visions that became reality. He helped countless people step into their superhero selves.

He was a warrior poet angel, on the battlefield seeking truth until his last breath.

I miss you, Brother Nick.

I love you.

Fly high.

The epic adventure continues…

Wherever he is - it will be epic!
