UK-based Trinida­di­an au­thor Hazel Sinanan re­cent­ly launched her first book The God With­in Speaks: An In­ner Pil­grim­age to the Soul of Wis­dom at the Cara­pichaima East Sec­ondary School.

Sinanan, an at­tor­ney, now mar­kets her­self as an in­ter­na­tion­al­ly-recog­nised spir­i­tu­al teacher, en­er­gy heal­er, chan­nel and telepath.

The book's in­tro­duc­tion speaks about the au­thor's spir­i­tu­al jour­ney and trans­for­ma­tion to the point of spir­i­tu­al awak­en­ing and the goal of en­cour­ag­ing oth­ers to en­gage in sim­i­lar ex­pe­ri­ences.

Sinanan has no tem­ples or ashrams nor is she af­fil­i­at­ed with any re­li­gion. She told the Guardian she be­lieves in­di­vid­u­als need some lev­el of guid­ance but need not be fol­low­ers.

"I feel strong­ly against the whole gu­ru sta­tus as it com­pro­mis­es one's in­nate sov­er­eign­ty."

Sinanan be­lieves that all she has achieved on the spir­i­tu­al path can be achieved by any­one seek­ing knowl­edge and truth.

"My re­li­gious back­ground is Pres­by­ter­ian, but from 2001 to now, my ex­pe­ri­ences fa­cil­i­tat­ed a dis­cov­ery of what I like to call a new re­li­gion, the re­li­gion of Spir­it," she said.

"I moved away from or­tho­dox main­stream re­li­gion as my ar­dent search for truth yield­ed a whole new ex­pe­ri­ence of rev­e­la­tions from spir­it. From 2002, I be­gan to work with my spir­it guides and was chan­nelling wis­dom in the form of po­et­ry and prose."

Sinanan said a se­ries of per­son­al ex­pe­ri­ences from 2002 to 2006, al­lowed her to "un­earth her in­ner strength and find the pres­ence of God in a re­al and abid­ing way," fa­cil­i­tat­ing her spir­i­tu­al trans­for­ma­tion.

In 2006, she al­so moved out of le­gal pri­vate prac­tice to en­ter Le­gal Ed­u­ca­tion where she worked for BPP Pro­fes­sion­al Ed­u­ca­tion as their Head of Dis­pute Res­o­lu­tion and High­er Rights of Au­di­ence Civ­il pro­gramme.

This role in­volved her train­ing qual­i­fied lawyers as part of their con­tin­u­ing pro­fes­sion­al de­vel­op­ment, as well as train­ing so­lic­i­tors to be­come com­pe­tent ad­vo­cates (so­lic­i­tor ad­vo­cates) be­fore high court judges.

She point­ed to Sep­tem­ber 2009 and Jan­u­ary 2010 as two key points for her fur­ther de­vel­op­ment. She lists vis­i­ta­tions from archangel Michael and out-of-body ex­pe­ri­ences where she claims to have met Christ sev­er­al times as key mo­ments in her life.

As a clair­voy­ant, Sinanan said she has had many rev­e­la­tions from "high­er be­ings of light" and her life was trans­formed through the wis­dom giv­en to her.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Sinanan said the book is about her spir­i­tu­al jour­ney, trans­for­ma­tion and un­fold­ing and her dis­cov­ery of her in­ner di­vine essence.

The book's first four chap­ters chart the ini­tial steps in the au­thor's spir­i­tu­al awak­en­ing which com­bine her di­vine ex­pe­ri­ences, en­coun­ters and lessons learnt.

This is to as­sist read­ers in con­nect­ing with the au­thor's ex­pe­ri­ence and en­er­gy, as well as com­pre­hend­ing the pur­pose of the book, that of en­cour­ag­ing the read­ers to seek ab­solute truth from with­in by forg­ing a re­la­tion­ship with their di­vine essence.

The God With­in Speaks, An In­ner Pil­grim­age to the Soul of Wis­dom is avail­able on Ama­zon.com and through the Bal­boa Press Web site.
