Edmond E Frank

Has your life ever been your own? From birth, this author was taught to be whom others wanted him to be. But living life to suit them was to live a lie. Then at the age of 45, he found himself in an ICU expecting his life to be over momentarily. Dying while being someone he didn’t like or respect was unacceptable. Would it be for you?

Hell, he'd spent his whole life trying to be who others wanted. He was the good Mormon son his parents wanted and the controllable husband his wife demanded. Then there was the dependable hard-working employee his bosses expected---while doing a job he hated.

But he'd never lived the life he wanted—never been the person he yearned to be. Face it! he'd never lived. And now, expecting to die, he came to see himself as a coward afraid to live the truth.

No. This coward, about to die, was NOT someone he could respect.

But what was the truth? He didn’t know. Hell, if he did know, he'd then have to face the lies—lies upon which he'd always based his life. That is something no one wants to do.

You see most all of us have at least one lie we have to tell ourselves every morning just to get through the day. If we didn’t—if we acknowledge the truth—our whole life would have to change, and at a cost we are not willing to pay.

His lie demanded that the wife he loved so dearly, also felt the same love for him---not so. He was her security in life, and not much more. Oh, she was a good wife---did her wifely duties well. But love, respect, cherish---those words were not in her vocabulary.

Now, in facing the Grim Reaper, he got honest. Perhaps this was why he was granted a reprieve.

He soon came to realize that there were more lies---lies we are all taught by our parents, our religion, and society. But what was the truth? Lying in that hospital bed in presence of the Reaper---he promised himself that if given the time, he would discover the truth.

Truth is, if one bases one’s life on any lies, it cannot help but be dysfunctional. And too, he realized that these lies, were shared in common with nearly everyone alive. The price of knowing this was everything he then held as important—including his wife. The price was worth it.

It took more than five years to learn the truths of life—unchangeable truths. Like gravity, they just are. For the most part they are common sense—always right there for everyone to see---and have been since the beginning. Currently these truths are called Spiritual Laws.

Knowing them in one’s mind is one thing. Knowing them in one’s heart is another. That requires experience—as in, living them.

In the twenty five years since, he's been living and writing about these truths and only recently has he began publishing books, eight so far---books anyone searching for meaning in their life will want to read. That is assuming that they too, would not be okay with dying a coward---someone they do not respect.

But hey, this is a bio. It's supposed to tell you about this author. That is what my his writings all do---they rip his guts out and spread them around for you to see. Isn't that what this bio has just done? It was done to entice you to do the same for yourself. You see, we are all magnificent souls and it is only by looking at what is within that we will see your own magnificence. Isn't this something that you will want to see, know, and hold within your own heart, before you too meet the Grim Reaper? We all die someday, y'know?
