Did You
Know?
Alan Gompers' great-uncle, Samuel Gompers, was the
first president of the AFL-CIO? Did you know that
Samuel Gompers has been in the news lately because
of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike? Did
you know that when Alan was a little boy, he
received a special edition, first-issue stamp from
the US Postmaster General honoring his great uncle,
Samuel Gompers.
Musician, millionaire, master salesman; con-man,
drug dealer, convict; entrepreneur, benefactor,
wise and revered meditation teacher – Alan
Gompers has led an amazing life. His life-long
search for recognition, power and love drove him
to make (and lose) million-dollar fortunes,
betray friends and family and deal drugs, which
ultimately brought him a 15-to-life prison
sentence. It was in a maximum security prison
that he finally found – deep within himself –
what he had been seeking: the true meaning of
freedom.
“In Maximum Security: The True Meaning of
Freedom Alan Gompers shows us how we imprison
ourselves – and the way to regain our freedom –
even if we are outside of the cement walls. True
freedom comes when we finally understand that we
are more than just our bodies and minds, and
that God is the source of our life and strength
and being. This powerful book demonstrates to us
the truth: that God is within each of us, as our
own true self. That is freedom indeed!” Dr. Eugene Callender, one of America’s
most prominent living civil rights leaders;
friend and associate of Dr. Martin Luther King.
