Table of Contents
Everything that happens in your life has a purpose.
There is no one you are close to who ever dies. Everyone just goes on to another stage of life that runs parallel to this one. Be at peace with yourself and fulfill your mission here, knowing that your stay here is temporary, and that you are doing something here to fulfill your spiritual purpose. Tune in more to yourself. And understand more within yourself so that you can find your way easier. Dont place so much emphasis on life materially, place more emphasis on it spiritually. There is no such thing as death. That child, that husband, that wife, that loved onethey are all still very much alive.

FOREWORD
BY THE TIME I began hosting radio talk and news programs in 1972, I had worked as a New York City public schoolteacher, a college instructor, and producer of television and radio programs and written materials for educators. Though I had traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada, I brought to my professional life the skepticism that seems to come from being born, raised, and educated in New York.

My programs covered a wide range of subjects, somesuch as the nuclear power industry or the true story of Billy Hayes, which became a book and film,
