Eight Fought to Live

1988: 82,362 gay and bisexual men had AIDS.

1989: 100,000 gay and bisexual men had AIDS.

1990: 307,000 gay and bisexual men had AIDS.

These are the two years Dr. Rosiello led an AIDS therapy group at Gay Men’s Health Crisis in New York City. Within two years each man in her group passed away from AIDS complications. One of these men was Vito Russo, an AIDS activist and historian.

This is the story of eight gay men living with advanced AIDS and one inexperienced fresh out of training psychoanalyst. Each man’s intimate story is peppered with Dr. Rosiello’s anxiety and her growing awareness regarding the importance of emotional authenticity in psychotherapy. The group members had no spare moments for Dr. Rosiello to use her newly learned psychoanalytic techniques. There was only time to be real.

Early on these group members pledged to not die. They pledged emotional support for the life of the group. This pledge held true for over a year. Blood brothers in their fight to live.

Emotional Freedom with No Fear, No Anger, and No Insecurity

There is an ancient belief that he who rules the self is greater than he who has captured a city. To rule the self, you have to have no fear, no anger, and no insecurities. In Emotional Freedom with No Fear, No Anger, and No Insecurity, over three dozen behaviors, tools, and skills are provided to help you achieve command of the self. You are not an emotionally free person until you have raised your level of consciousness to the extent that it allows you to control the thoughts that come into your mind. We may be advanced technologically, educationally, and intellectually, but we languish at a low, dysfunctional level of social development. The lack of acceptance we find in our social culture has impaired or damaged our self-worth. The opinions that we have of ourselves can have more of an impact on our lives emotionally, physically, mentally, and psychologically than anything else.A lack of understanding of our self has kept us in the dark about our real self. Gaining knowledge and discovering how we function in our relationship with our self and with others will open up a whole new realm and reveal a wealth of information.This enlightenment will allow you to take many different avenues and paths most suitable to you, and reveal answers and solutions about how you should live your life so that you can be the leader of the self who is in charge of the self.

Ending Today’s Chaos And Repairing America

In our modern American society, we find ourselves amidst a disheartening breakdown, where chaos prevails. The dominance of a few corporations stifles diversity across numerous sectors of our economy. Complex and biased laws and tax systems cater to special interests, while the upbringing of many children and the quality of education are skewed towards wealthy areas. Moreover, our online platforms inundate us with fraudulent schemes, adding to the societal disarray.

This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on historical change, presenting the idea that the Western world has undergone three distinct civilizations: the Greco-Roman, the Medieval, and the Enlightenment. With the passing of each civilization, we have witnessed a gradual deterioration of institutions and the erosion of social consensus. Examining the challenges we face today, the book delves into the concept of ‘Justice’ and questions what truly constitutes a fair society. It then presents a range of potential improvements to our current institutions, serving as a temporary measure until a new civilization emerges. Additionally, the book explores America’s place in the global context and delves into the complexities faced by other civilizations experiencing their own periods of institutional breakdown.

By offering a critical analysis of our present state and proposing alternative perspectives, this book provides a guiding light for navigating the turbulent waters of societal transformation. It inspires hope for a future where our institutions can be reimagined, fostering a more just and harmonious society.

Erasable

December 14, 2017

My inner light went out.

Increasing perfectionism and despotism upon the body got me physically and emotionally burned out. Fear was devastating me from within, yet life struggled for another chance to breathe a retrieved inner freedom.

Day one I started writing, and I have never given up since.

Yours,

A.

Experiencing WS

“Experiencing WS is a deeply engaging, exceedingly insightful, and well-written account of the experience and history of acting and directing since the mid-twentieth century. Its originality is manifested in every paragraph; its cumulative impact creates a revolutionary path to the understanding of acting in post-colonial Africa; its fabulous take on the mentor-mentee relationship is so compelling as to lead to an analytical framework on how to teach others. Euba has achieved what is hard to come by: a fact-based, rigorous, and sincere take on African theater situated within a rich historical context in order to understand the complexities of individual characters in their lived realities, along with the politics and culture of watershed moments. This fascinating book will certainly hold the interest of the reader from the very first page to the last.”

Eyes Open

Jon W. C. Flanagan is in his mid-sixties when a combination of auto accident, stroke, and seizure leaves him apparently comatose. Involuntary reflexes remain; he can breathe on his own, but is unable to move. Unbeknownst to the medical team, he can see and hear.

Expected to quickly pass away, he lingers reflecting on his life while observing the staff and infrequent family/friend visitors. He develops a relationship of sorts with Rachel, the primary treating nurse who is less sure of the diagnosis than the physicians.

Meanwhile, an ‘angel of death’ is working in the hospital. Flanagan identifies the killer and determines to somehow tell Rachel. His life now is a race against time and a quest to perform a final, perhaps his only heroic act.

Provided a rare gift of total self-reflection, he is provided a rarer opportunity for personal redemption.
