What happens when a Wall Street lawyer, steeped in Judaism, enters an interfaith seminary, engages mystically, and connects with disincarnate representatives from varied religious traditions? Michael H. Cohen studied Torah and Talmud at Hillel Day School and United Hebrew High School and received his BA from Columbia University. He received both his JD and MBA from the University of California, Berkeley, clerked for a federal judge, graduated from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop with an MFA in Creative Writing, and joined the corporate department of a prestigious Wall Street law firm. A Friend of All Faiths is a memoir of multidimensional experience: of numinous encounters with ancestors; with figures from religious traditions; and with other domains of consciousness. He writes of journeys into trance and the unconscious; of contact with angels, demons, and the divine. He explores archetypes and individuation, and above all, the soul.
