About the Book

This book is about an ethnically diverse engineer who became spiritually aware. It is the story of his life on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, and from Antarctica to Lapland.

Early Life and Education

Jean Osanz was born and educated in France. His single mother was the grand-daughter of Spanish refugees. He didn’t climb Mt Everest like Sir Edmund Hillary, but he was the first to reach the bottom of one of the deepest caves in the world at the age of 19. That’s physical. Then he became an engineer. That’s mental.

Adventures and Personal Life

He didn’t go to South Pole like Sir Edmund, but he still went to Antarctica where he met Pascale in 1979. That was very emotional. They got married, had two sons and have lived in Australia ever since.

Spiritual Experiences

It is impossible to live with Pascale without getting some spiritual awareness. It’s called osmosis. Besides, Jean Osanz travelled for his work to 45 countries and trained some 300 scientific instruments field service engineers. He ended up having spiritual experiences all around the world, especially in India, Tibet and Peru. Like Sir Edmund in Nepal, he became a bit spiritual.

Current Life

He is now retired and lives in Rylstone, Australia. That gives him plenty of time to write his memoirs.
