As a martial artist, Mike Tyson is leading the prescribed life. In this vast universe, he is on his way to finding out his significance and role. True knowledge begins with knowledge of the self and true wisdom arrives with self-realization in life. At the age of 56, when restless impulses have naturally loosened their grips on Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight champion asks the ultimate question from what he would call a “self-identification perspective.”

Recently, in an episode of Heart to Heart, Mike Tyson sat with host Kevin Hart. With Tyson in front, the Central Intelligence star took the opportunity and asked ‘Iron’ what Mike Tyson was and meant today. To borrow the phrase from Hart himself, was Tyson in a “great mental space of peace of comfort” in his life now?

With the air of a wise soul who has labored an excruciating journey, Tyson said and asked, “I’m in this state of understanding me. Why is my existence necessary? What is my real purpose here? I don’t have children or fall in love. What is my purpose here? What is it that I do well that allows me to be who I am?”

Self-identification perspective: Everything is spiritual for heavyweight Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson, who is currently making a significant income from Mike Bites, cannabis-infused gummies, finds everything spiritual. According to Tyson, his brief interaction with Hart is also part and parcel of the spirit. In his own words, “Everything is spiritual. Me and you (Kevin Hart) talking is spiritual. It’s all spirit. It’s all just from a self-identification perspective.”

Mike Tyson considers his existence to be as insignificant as that of a fungus. When asked if he was receiving answers to his questions, he replied,  “I feel I’m pretty much as a fungus. It really doesn’t matter in the world. What’s good or what’s bad? Does our conscience tell us what’s good and what’s bad?
