About the author
Arlene Lanman grew up during the late 1950's in a small community that is now part of a large metropolitan city. As a Christian family attending church regularly was a requirement, father said a blessing at each meal, and each said a prayer before going to bed. She was christened and baptized. And made a vow to uphold the Faith; she was "saved" by faith alone without any in- depth knowledge, just Sunday school and acolyte training. Later in life she was a deacon and elder.
For most of her life, she was the 'Peacemaker' (foretold by her Astrology Natal Chart) bending her will to meet the desires of others. In high school, college, and most of her work life, she was the 'Achiever'. It was only later in life that she realized she had 'performed' to the expectations of others and not to meet the needs of her True Self, the Authentic Self. She spent a good portion of her life seeking her True Self, seeking her Purpose and Mission; all along knowing what she had been told, spiritually, was not the whole truth.
Unknowingly, she was on a quest to find the "Truth," a Truth that has been the core of all of her books.
She was a Military Officer, Professional Engineer, Registered Architect, an Engineering Manager within a major Oil & Gas Company, a Coordinator for a Hospital Design Firm, Director of Architecture for Higher Education at a state university, and a Senior Engineering Manager in Military Engineering & Construction. In the end, she found no answers to what is the "Truth".
One day, she was told that Faith needs to be based upon KNOWLEDGE (of the Creator, His purpose, Soul Purpose, Christ was sent to provide that knowledge, and she needed to know her Purpose and Mission). She then wrote numerous books to document her spiritual Journey and to guide the reader on their Journey.
This is the Author's seventh book to address spiritual awaking and its many challenges, including those after death.
Considerable research yielded her first book, Conscious Awakening – A Research Compendium (2019), to record her enlightenment. Her second book was how to apply her research; that book was, Conscious Awakening 101 – A Short Course (2021). Her third, Starseed Trichotomy (2021), was to put all the Pieces Together and Implement the Plan to Escape this polarized world/universe. Then another book, Growing Up Westsider 1950s 1960s and Beyond (2022) to document that all the pieces of life actually fit together. That book was followed by Defeating the Behemoth – Navigating the Spheres (2022), which provided specific and detailed guidance to return to Source (Invisible God). Still not feeling she had presented enough detail to navigate the various Trees of Life, she then wrote the 1st Edition of the book, "A Spiritual Journey – Escaping the Wheel – Going Home", then added 56 pages of supplemental information (Secrets of the Great Pyramid, Relevant Hieroglyphics, and Convergence of Major Religions) resulting in the 2nd Edition. Her latest book: Pathfinder – The Spiritual Path We Will All Take" traces the Steps we will take from our Awakening /Enlightenment, learning the Prerequisites, Escaping the Wheel of Life, and then making the arduous journey up Jacob's Ladder to cast our "crown" at the feet of the Absolute Light of our Creator (returning our Spark of Divine Light).
