12 August 2000 In the brief month that has passed since I published Tony's biography, I have been overwhelmed by your responses. I was aware of his popularity, but had no idea how many people continue to benefit from his work. The web designer tells me there have been visitors from 43 countries around the world. How wonderful to see Tony's works appreciated globally! How satisfying to know that his dream of helping others is still alive! I have received hundreds of messages of thanks, congratulations, encouragement and constructive criticism for sharing my personal experiences with the rest of the world. Please believe me, the pleasure has been all mine. Reading the many messages has been a rewarding spiritual experience. I have gained more than I have given. I must confess that I was never an avid reader of my brother's books. However, of late, I have been receiving the daily quotes from One Minute Wisdom and am on my sixth "journey" into Tony's Awareness. It's strange that on this sixth reading I keep discovering things I missed on the last five. Why had I not read his books before? Perhaps I had imagined that Tony would always be around with his positive vibes on which I had come to rely, without my putting in the hard yards; that he'd be there with his spiritual support when I needed him. |
Many of the correspondents have asked for more information about Tony.
It would be near impossible to reply individually to each of you.
I would never find the time or the energy to keep up with the correspondence.
At best I can relate my remembrance of past incidents which may, in turn, provide answers to your questions.
Unlike Tony, I am not qualified to advise, guide or counsel.
I am but a simple seeker for the truth, attempting to "wake up" like everyone else.
I will choose the most common questions and try to answer them honestly and accurately,
drawing on my memory of events.
A few questions I am unable to answer, either because I do not know, or because some things are better left unsaid.
It might take me some time to compose my answers.
In the meanwhile you may like to read what 37 others remember about Tony.
Their collected remembrances are published in
