Author
Brian Michael Good is a self-made man.
He has lived a life buffeted by character-altering hurricanes. His life storms
began in his trauma-filled childhood within his dysfunctional family. He
survived childhood verbal, physical, and sexual abuse; the death of two
siblings; the stigma of being homeless - not once, but three times; two
bankruptcies; a six-pound cancer that was doubling every two months; a
near-fatal suicide attempt in 2003; the death of his best friend; three
divorces; and the rejection of his only daughter.
How
can one man encounter so many hurricanes, survive them, learn from them, and
then strive to make the world a better place? This was the question Brian asked
himself that led to his book release Never
Surrender Your Soul.
Welcome Brian!
What is
the premise for your new book Never Surrender Your Soul?
In
my book, I talk about Weshemehe (We-she-me-he), my own English name for God.
God is omnipresent, a part of every atom in the universe. Therefore, God does
not have a gender.
The
Big Bang was initiated by Weshemehe in order to create the universe and share
life with all of us. Weshemehe, being omnipresent, is part of the reason why
Weshemehe can control anything at any moment, and how you can have a personal
relationship with Weshemehe.
I
also conclude that a dark woman was created first, in Africa, substantiated by
logic, science, reason, and faith. Acceptance of The Book of Genesis’ creation
story slows the progression of equality of the sexes.
I
also suggest that you deprogram yourself of all types of “mind control”:
religious, philosophical, and ideological. Mind control decays your ability to
pursue and discover the truth. Rather than listen to a person with a louder
voice, listen to your own inner voice.
Please
define what it means to surrender your soul…
You
can give up your soul – your very essence – to a painful and unsatisfying
existence in your present life if you suffer from mental illness, depression,
anxiety, suicidal thoughts, addictions, or simply have a lack of peace or sense
of direction. You may also surrender your soul if you give up on your passion
or not form stable and enduring relationships, education, hard work, and sacrifice,
which are all necessary components to a plan to meet your destiny.
I
further explain this topic in my book:
“At
some point in your life, you may wonder if your soul is hanging by a thread.
This thread is the conduit in which your belief system flows, defining your
human spirit and binding to the fabric of your soul. Religious, philosophical,
and ideological fibers are spun into a single strand, giving strength to your
beliefs. It is this thread’s strength that allows you to be broad-minded and even-handed.
Be aware that you may be surrendering your soul in your judgment or treatment
of others.”
In your
opinion, what happens to our soul at death?
I
don’t know for certain what becomes of our soul at death except for Weshemehe’s
(God’s) judgement. We will all be accountable for how we lived our life. In my
book, I explain that the best defense against surrendering our soul is our
choice of a belief system.
I
believe in Weshemehe (God) and spiritual life after death one hundred percent.
Do not expect to use the tenets of your Bible of Faith as the basis for your
argument to escape Weshemehe’s judgment, because, just like money, you cannot
bring the tenets of your Bible of Faith with you
into
the afterlife.
Are your
views Bible-based (or another religion)? If not, what are the foundations for
your beliefs?
I
was born and raised a Catholic; years later I became a born-again Christian. As
I wrote my book and studied some of the four thousand religions of the world, I
became spiritual and I now follow the twelve “Pearls of Spirituality” that are
found in my book.
Having
said that, three major religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – all
worship the same God but interpret God’s message differently, because each
Bible of Faith represents its own cultural identity. This is true with every
religion.
Do you believe
in reincarnation and karma?
Reincarnation
is a possibility. Even if one could prove reincarnation to be true, each
reincarnated life would most likely get substantially harder – especially if
you kill, die by suicide, steal, or take someone’s freewill. If you screwed up
in your lifetime and surrendered your soul in your present life, you have until
your last breath to meet your true destiny, which must be met without greed or
thirst for money; it must be unselfish and spiritual in nature. Only then will
Weshemehe consider giving you a second chance.
Who are
your niche readers, and who do you recommend should read your book?
Never Surrender Your
Soul is
a personal/spiritual-growth book that speaks of finding your destiny,
spirituality, God, religious texts, and discusses reincarnation, health,
family, parenting, work, and life struggles; it also deciphers the truth about
these personal-growth subjects. If you are interested in any of these topics,
or want to get self-help, embrace positive thinking, live a happier life, or
find your destiny, my book is for you.
What are
you currently writing?
I
recently decided to publish a second book about organic and natural skincare.
As an ecommerce entrepreneur, I have sold organic and natural skincare for 14
years and I have earned excellent testimonials during this time. I have written
many articles from my expertise and placed these on my website. I have more than
enough material for a book.
What are
you currently reading?
I
recently read Smoking is Dangerous!
Transform Your Life Now! by Jerri Aubry, M.S. This book helps you to find
ways to deal with the stress that is caused by smoking triggers and cravings by
changing how you associate smoking with your daily rituals. It includes a well-researched
smoking cessation program that provides a number of ways, options, activities,
and reasons to motivate you to quit smoking. I definitely recommend this book
if you want to quit smoking for the final time.
Who is
your favorite author?
I
am my favorite author. I usually spend ten to twelve hours a day, six days a
week writing, and I never complain.
Do you
have any advice for novice writers?
Write
a book for the right reasons, purpose, and for your enjoyment. I wrote Never Surrender Your Soul to help other
people. I found out after the book was published that in writing the book I had
saved myself.
List 10
things your fans may not know about you…
1.
I have made many mistakes in my life. I have failed over and over again. But I
keep getting up.
2.
I would not have been born if my mother hadn’t had a miscarriage.
3.
I was born into a family of ten, and we went camping on every vacation.
4.
My front tooth was knocked out playing ice hockey in the back yard.
5.
I was the head of the University of Massachusetts, Boston Skydiving Club, and
during my twenties, I had four parachute malfunctions.
6.
I am a cancer survivor.
7.
I paid for my college and living expenses while in college, and I paid back my
student loans one hundred percent.
8.
I tutored eight of my core courses at the University of Massachusetts, Boston,
where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Management and Economics,
having passed my writing proficiency exam on the third attempt, which was
required to earn my degree.
9.
On October 23, 2003, I took enough pills to kill an elephant, and when I was
found – thirteen and a half hours after I attempted suicide – I was a half-hour
from death. After my suicide attempt, I wanted to live.
10.
I am blessed. I am a survivor. I now respect the gift that Weshemehe has given
all of us: life.
I
am very grateful to be alive.
