Join us for an informative and thought-provoking Local Author Talk featuring Scott Spackey, a renowned author from Salinas. In 2013, Scott faced a life-altering incident when he was involved in a motorcycle accident. Despite the initial tragedy of being run over by an SUV, Scott's experience took an incredible turn as he found himself transported to a celestial dimension he calls "The Portal." During his time in The Portal, Scott discovered that he was fully conscious, even though he was in a coma. This profound near-death experience completely wiped his memory, leaving him with no recollection of his name, identity, or loved ones. However, it also served as a spiritual awakening, leading him to write a memoir chronicling his journey within The Portal. In this memoir, Scott combines ancient wisdom from various spiritual paths with a modern perspective. Through his words, he offers a unique understanding of the world and invites readers to explore their own spiritual awakening. This transformative story will undoubtedly leave you questioning the boundaries of consciousness and the mysteries of life. Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about Scott's extraordinary journey at his upcoming in-person author talk. The event will take place at the El Gabilan Library in Salinas on February 22, 2024. Admission is free, so be sure to register in advance to secure your spot.
