“No Experts Needed” with author Louise Lewis

Lauren Smith: Tell us about the experiences that led you to write this book.

Louise Lewis: It all began just minutes after being “set free” (laid off) from my advertising sales job in high tech. I was a victim of the dotcom implosion. While sitting in the San Jose, CA, airport awaiting my flight home, I began to panic over my future — “where will I find a job when everyone is getting laid off?” I toyed with the idea of just allowing myself to fall…into a deep depression. As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I received words from Spirit: “This is just a new chapter,” Spirit said. “You hold the pen, I’ll guide your hand, and together we’ll write one hell of a chapter.” With a promise to follow Spirit’s words every day, I wrote down the events of my Spirit-led journey. The events that happened, the people that Spirit had me meet all contributed to the energy of the book growing and growing. One day, I realized that I just had to share my adventure with the world.

Lauren Smith: What was the biggest lesson you learned from all of this?

Louise Lewis: Of course, to follow the words of Spirit, but that means to get quiet. Turn inward. And listen. Through this practice, I now know that my security in life lies within me, and not with a job or in another person.

Lauren Smith: Why did you decide to write a book about it?

Louise Lewis: I did not have a choice. Sounds strange, I know. But I was given the question “what is the meaning of life?” to ask me, and told to write down what came out of the adventure of asking people the question. You’ve heard it before, but I must say that the book wrote itself.

Lauren Smith: What do you hope this book will do for readers?

Louise Lewis: The moment a person just hears or reads about my book on “the meaning of life,” a wonderful seed is planted in their heart, mind and soul. From there, with a little gardening, the seed will grow and help guide the person to find meaning on their own path. Additionally, with each turn of the page, the reader is given many true-life examples of how amazing things can happen to anyone, every day of their life, if they choose to listen and follow the messages being sent them.

Lauren Smith: How did you come to communicate with “Spirit” was it something you’d
always done?

Louise Lewis: I was raised to follow the Catholic religion. Instilled early on was the belief that Spirit is always with me. Unfortunately, I was a typical kid and not apt to listen to anyone…let alone Spirit. I was about 30 years old when life served up the pressing need to ask (and answer for myself) a lot of tough questions — what is Spirit? What role does Spirit play in my life? Through this continuing process, I got better at hearing Spirit’s words. It’s not easy. It takes a lot of time. But when you’re ready to stop running into brick walls in life, you know it’s time to do the work.

    This looks like a great book and similar to one I just finished reading.
    Anchor in the Spirit as God Beings has some practical and easy steps to follow that helps you connect with “Spirit”.
