Signals : an inspiring story of life after life
by
Joel Rothschild
About this title: This is the true story of two young men, Joel and Albert,
who meet, become friends and then drift apart. When they meet again several
years later, both have full blown AIDS. They begin a warm and loving
relationship that sustains them through the horrors of the early AIDS
epidemic that
hits LA. It is during this time, when many of their friends have died from
AIDS, that Joel and Albert make a pact: whoever dies first will attempt to
contact
the other from the beyond. Highly sceptical of anyone who claims to have
psychic abilities, it is Joel who is left behind following Albert's suicide.
Joel
(who is dying of AIDS himself) begins to receive "signals" of guidance and
support from Albert. Almost reluctantly, Joel comes to realize that he
really
does possess psychic gifts and that these gifts can be used to help others.
Now, almost 15 years later, Joel Rothschild is one of America's longest
surviving
AIDS sufferers, and whilst he readily acknowledges the part medical science
has played in keeping him alive against all the odds, he also knows that his
continuing friendship with Albert has given him the inspirational
determination to heal.

Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to
the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases
where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease,
with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting
the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities
of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics
(1887-1985)
