In my September newsletter, I talked about everything being temporary and the journey from our head to our heart, the soul. It’s the temporary part of life that can bum some of us out. Some might say “If everything is temporary, what the heck!” Life is full of things we enjoy and things we don’t. […]
The Secret of Being Human
The secret of being human lies in discovering who we really are. While on this journey of life, it is easy to get caught up in this body. I am referring to the so-called designations of the body. I am a man or a woman. I am black, white or yellow. I am a father, […]
Acceptance
“Acceptance is the portal to peace which I found through the ability to trust and forgive God, self and others. It will lead you on your path to Ah-Man.” "When I first thought about acceptance, what came to mind was the thought about doing something without question. But I understand acceptance to be so much […]
Forgiveness
Here’s what I know about forgiveness. When you forgive someone…or ask for forgiveness…as long as it comes from the heart, without any ulterior motives, it will bring more peace into your life. For some of us, there is always the 500-pound gorilla in the middle of the room: a resentment we thought we can’t quite […]
Trust
Some of you may know that I created and conduct The Ah-Man Freedom Workshops, all-day sessions that address the three principals of Trust, Forgiveness and Acceptance. This month, I’ll be focusing on each of those principals. First up…Trust. Let’s face it; we have all experienced losing trust. When someone we love or respect or just […]
Where are we going? And how do we get there?
I Am Ah-Man, Man-Heart-Trust is the result of my desire to write my memoirs. I wrote the book after I had been sober for 10 years, and it depicts how I was able to bear my continuing life experiences – death, disease, divorce, and more – while staying connected to myself, my heart, my Ah-Man, […]
But Why Am I Here?
For the past few weeks, I have shared the story of my life journey; from discovering who I was and why I was here at a very young age…to losing everything due to my addictions…to rediscovering who I was. However, as exciting it was to get back in touch with who I was, it was […]
Finding Myself…Again
I'll pick up where I left off last week. One morning I awoke to find I was passing blood through my urine. I knew this was not good. I had been on the blood thinner Coumadin since my second open heart surgery 4 years earlier. But because of my heavy drinking (alcohol is also a […]
Losing It All
When we last left 18-year-old Michael, he/I had gone to an ashram in West Virginia to become a monk. A couple of years later, I left the monastery, and it gradually became apparent that I was no longer acting from the place of who I was, i.e., a spirit soul, part and parcel of God, […]
Sweet Freedom
Back in 1973, I was given a book called the “Bhagavad Gita.” I had been visiting a Hare Krishna Temple and talking to its devotees for a while, and they would tell me that I was not this body (the young man I was at the time); that I was spirit soul, meaning that the […]
