What The F@#- Is Cancer and Why Does Everybody Have It?
On April 10, 2011, Allison W. Gryphon found a lump in her breast. Three days later, she was diagnosed with stage IIIa breast cancer. Allison’s immediate instinct was to pick up a camera and start asking questions. Not only for herself, but for all of us. For many, cancer is a cell under a microscope. For others, it is a symbolic ribbon, a local fundraiser or a jar calling for help in the checkout line at the grocery store. Cancer is something different to each individual going through it. It’s all relevant. It’s all important. Cancer is about science, study and the practice of medicine, and most importantly, cancer is about people. What the F@#- is Cancer and Why Does Everybody Have it? is about understanding and celebrating those people. It’s about really hearing their voices and being invited to share those experiences in a way that will allow the viewer to walk away with inspiration, questions, knowledge and hopefully a desire to understand more and make things happen.

Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK What should we do to attain brahman or pure consciousness
In a Zoom meeting with the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK on 31st December 2023, Michael answers various questions about Bhagavan’s teachings. The first question he answered was: "Most respected swami ji. We have received adequate explanations and analyses. Can you state what one has to DO to obtain “Brahman” “pure advaita” or “pure consciousness”? WHAT that is well and clearly described. DONE. But with the sole exception of Bhagavan Ramana Rishi no one has actually attained “pure awareness”. Have they? That is so because we do not know what exactly you want us to DO."

Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK: What bhāvana should one hold during self investigation?
In a Zoom meeting with the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK on 9th December 2023, Michael answers various questions about Bhagavan’s teachings. The first question Michael answered was:
I have a question about the attitude (bhavana) one should hold when conducting self-investigation. There are 2 different ideas I can read in Bhagwan's teachings: The first being "Investigating the Self as I" or "Who am I" or "What am I" or "I am I". The second is "God is I" or "Bhagwan is shining as I" or "I am Brahman"
They both lead to attention on the self, but the feeling is subtly different. The first one is more analytical, and driven by a curiosity. The second one devotional, and is driven by a longing to be one with Bhagwan. I understand that these ultimately the same path, but to me these carry subtly different perfumes. Can you comment in this, please?
