Summary: The experience that most impacted Lynn Pierson was the four years spent, beginning at the age of nine, on the Caribbean island of Grenada. Her life here was a total immersion in a world framed with crystalline seas and malevolent appearing jungles. On the island, she basked in the inhabitant’s simple joy of life despite the majority’s poverty. Many lived in one-room board shacks that lacked even running water. It was from the Grenadians that she learned a depth of faith she’d never before imagined, a connection with one’s maker born of naiveté and a daily symbiosis with nature. Here, an overwhelming curiosity drove Lynn to spy upon the Grenadian’s and to witness secretive back-jungle voodoo practices. Thisunderground current drove the dancing and superstition that imbued the local’s celebrations with a certain frenzy. Returning to the United States, Lynn majored in Writing and Editing at North Carolina State University. Afterward, she focused on the study and promotion of emerging technologies and authored business publications from software demonstration and training manuals to case studies. An award-winning sales management career followed and presentations to many Fortune 500 executives. Throughout her career, Lynn leveraged the fortitude and higher connection realized during her youth and relied ever more upon her intuition or “voice from within.” Her morning escapes into writing and two decades of delving into the emerging intersections between science and spirituality resulted in articles which organizations such as “The Voice for Love,” and Shirley Cheng have published. Lynn’s accumulated experiences resulted in The Great Awakening – a spiritual thriller series the press has likened to “The Da Vinci Code meets A Course in Miracles.” Tonight she joins us to discuss her book: The Great Awakening.
