We seek knowledge (gnosis) to know our true self and purpose. We realize knowledge must come from outside the material world, and the agent can be found within each of us - our own "Spark of the Infinite Light." We realize religions points outside oneself to a higher power for wisdom and guidance, while spirituality divorced from religion one looks within. This book collates, condenses, co-mingles, and reduces the multitude of world religions and beliefs to arrive at a convergence in order to obtain the minimum knowledge (gnosis) needed to achieve Spiritual Balance, Escape The Wheel of Life, Understand the Chakras system, and Develop a path through the Chakra Tree of Life, the Gaia Flower of Life and the remaining Four Worlds to reunite our "Spark of Light" with the Infinite Light of the Invisible God. The book begins with a description of the Four Worlds we will all travel while seeking the Light, followed by the Prerequisites, which are many, and the specific data that was contained within our Natal Birth Chart, on the day each was born, including defining our individual coping strategies (beginning and end), our deeply held traits, how we will present oneself, and even our destiny. The book moves on to define the Creator's Desires, Soul Desires, Soul Purpose, Mission, and Who You Really Are - the True You. At this point, the book will prepare the reader to (1) Journey through the Tree of Life (the physical and spiritual side of the Chakras) and to (2) Navigate through the Gaia (Earth) Flower of Life which will release one from the Wheel of Life (Reincarnation), to arrive at the Gates of Heaven. Also, the book will present what we can expect as we travel on through the World of Creation and the World of Emanation (Light). In addition, the Appendix has been expanded (2nd Edition) to include, (1) Secrets of the Great Pyramid, (2) Prevalent Egyptian Hieroglyphs, (3) Convergence of Major Religions, (4) Secrets of the Universe, (5) The True Origin of Man (the Elohim), (6) The Spiritual Wars (In Heaven, the Galactic Wars, the Pleiadian-Elohim War, the current Spiritual War on Earth), and (7) a Discussion on Living in the Light While Residing in a Dark World. It is a long arduous journey up Jacob's Ladder from darkness (unknowing) into the Light of the Creator and it may take several lifetimes (during and after death). Most importantly, it is a path of compassion, a journey to save each and every being from the folly of remaining in a vicious cycle of suffering in a world of ignorance. Adding 56 pages of supplemental information resulted in this 2nd Edition. This is the Author's latest Edition to be blunt and express exactly what one needs to know and do to escape the Darkness.
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. She was deceived by many well meaning people! 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, 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 sixth 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 that 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, A Spiritual Journey - Escaping the Wheel - Going Home. She then added 56 pages of supplemental information (Secrets of the Great Pyramid, Relevant Hieroglyphics, and Convergence of Major Religions) resulting in the 2nd Edition.
