"Out of Thick Jungle" is a true life spiritual adventure. It is the raw, unfiltered autobiography of Tenasi Scott Rama Lazar, a modern yogi who has an inspirational, epic story to share with the world. Both captivating and motivational, it chronicles the riveting odyssey of his pre-awakened life as Scott Lazar a lost child, born into the urban-American depths of Babylon at the dawn of the ancient age of Aquarius. Having lost at birth all memory of his divine heritage and the assignment that he and an entire race of new souls volunteered for here on earth, he is lured along the material path by human temptations of sex, power and money until he discovers his blind desire and begins to crawl, kick and climb his way out of duality, disillusionment, repetitive psycho drama, and injury towards an awakened state of peace, grace and an 'overstanding' of his true identity.

The title "Out of Thick Jungle" symbolizes both his spiritual journey and his physical journey. Once a self-centered Mechanical Engineer working for a major defense contractor, Scott Lazar doesn't believe in God, and he dismisses the whole New Age Movement as "a highly imaginative, concoction of a bunch of bored, rich white women". The discovery of rock climbing, unleashes his internal fire, allows him to peer through the veil of illusion, leave the corporate world and follow his heart on an inspirational path of self discovery.

While on expedition high in an alpine cirque in Chilean Patagonia, he experiences a miraculous, instantaneous healing that defies all the laws of science and he is transformed into spiritual warrior. He begins the process of initiation which leads him to create his own form of self healing, called Elongar, and to meet his spiritual mentor and climbing partner, the late Venezuelan mystic Jose Louis Pereyra.

Between pulling off world class climbing feats, like the first free climb of Angel Falls in Venezuela, they begin to apply their "extreme sport" intensity to the pursuit of enlightenment. Their travels take them on myriad journeys into the mystic realms of spirits and eventually deeper into the Venezuelan jungle where Scott falls 70 feet and breaks both legs. Alone, at night with compound fractures he crawls out, and finds synergistic healing under the care of a powerful shaman and a master orthopedic surgeon. Together with his Shaman he meets a "walk-in" named Ray Sol from the star Andromeda, who aids his healing and first plants the seed of recognition that Scott is a child of the "Septima Rassa," the seventh race of souls. The story of his physical recovery alone is an amazing testament to the power of combining eastern, western and galactic medicine.

The journey of ScottÕs initiation, from August of 1987 when he is unconsciously "touched" by spirit and led by blind desire from a nuclear submarine shipyard in Connecticuit to the Berlin Wall, the day it collapses, leading up to his reawakening as Tenasi Rama inside an ancient cedar tree high up on Mount Elf-in-Stone in British Columbia in May 2001 are the focus of this book. It concludes two years later, when Tenasi reunites with his climbing/spiritual partner Jose in Mexico on the eve of JoseÕs death. Determined to connect with his friend in the afterlife, Tenasi enters a cave where he fasts from food and light for 20 days. He opens up his third eye, reconnects with Jose and then is confronted with the most challenging, near fatal, test of his initiation. Only when he survives this test, is his memory restored and is he reconnected with his galactic family of the Septima Rassa. Which, by the way, might include you!

Out of Thick Jungle is the first in a potential series of books unveiling the earthen adventures of the children of the Septima Rassa, the seventh race of humans. After experiencing past times on earth within the plant and animal kingdoms, these souls have volunteered to incarnate now and evolve through the human experience in one lifetime, before the end of the great, galactic cycle on Dec 21, 2012. They are "first timers," that is incarnated as humans for the first time, and their service isn't complete until they recreate Eden on earth! On their path they must climb out of the thick jungle of bondage and suffering, open their hearts, die a thousand deaths, reawaken, recognize their true identity, and reconnect with their brothers and sisters of the galactic federation, many of whom have been trapped in the karmic cycle of rebirth, experiencing lifetime after lifetime as humans.

In addition to being the first modern literary work to describe the seventh race of humans, Out of Thick Jungle and itÕs sequel, The Art of Union (coming soon) offer a cosmology and timeless wisdom that inspires other "lost children" live in harmony and realize their identity and purpose on the planet.
