In the world of boxing, few names evoke the same awe and reverence as that of Mike Tyson. The former champion was known for his explosive power and relentless aggression achieving legendary status during his illustrious career. However, behind the accolades and triumphs, Tyson’s journey in the ring took a toll on his body, leaving him intimately acquainted with the challenges of living with pain.

The former champion came out of his battle with sciatica last year with many concerns regarding his health. Now, being retired from the sport and dealing with health issues, ‘Iron Mike’ has embarked on a path of philosophical introspection. Moreover, the boxing icon explored the mysterious realm of the Akashic Records, reflecting on the interconnectedness of human experiences.

Mike Tyson explores something enigmatic

In a recent episode of his podcast featuring rapper Nick Cannon, the former champion was asked about the records. Following this, Tyson gave his take expressing his belief that human knowledge and understanding are limited. He also revealed that our forgetfulness was an indication that we have experienced more than we can consciously recall.

“Like, listen right, we forgot more than we know. It’s just an illusion like we know we’ve been somewhere before.  But we just can’t put our finger on it. You ever have an experience when you think about somebody, that then he calls, or he is driving up next to you? We just forgot how to do it.” 

The Akashic Records are a concept compendium of all human knowledge, experiences, and emotions, accessible to those who can tap into its alleged reservoir. In addition, Tyson’s curiosity about this concept indicates a desire to delve deeper into the unknown and increase his wisdom. Beyond his philosophical musings, Tyson has extended his wisdom with his role as a father. This is why he recently engaged in a conversation with his daughter about the nature of life on Earth.

In the podcast, ‘Iron Mike’ also revealed a candid talk he had with his daughter. In the conversation, he compared humans to fungi, symbolizing the fleeting nature of human existence, much like the temporary growth of fungi on the Earth’s surface.

“I was explaining to my kids, my daughter that we are just fungus on this planet”  he said

Tyson’s message to his daughter likely conveys the significance of humility and an appreciation for life. By comparing humanity to a simple organism, he encourages her to recognize the reality that we are all part of. Moreover, through candid conversations with his daughter and philosophical comparisons, Tyson continues to inspire and provoke thought, leaving a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of boxing fans and beyond.
