"A Shaman's Tale" - an autobiographical narrative about one man’s journey to spiritual consciousness. This journey is not a religious or political one, but one that transcends dimension, space, and time. Through his encounters with the paranormal, the author explains how ego, belief systems and tenacity are social constructs that inhibit the individual from evolving to awareness and spiritual consciousness. Through candid and powerful anecdotes, he explains how any individual can come to know a spiritual truth that is not confined to conventional parameters. Alaniz does not scare us with the unknown; ironically he makes us understand the purpose of spirit manifestations and multi-dimensional beings. Richard teaches his readers the higher realms of spirituality to awaken their human potential and to eradicate fear to affect a positive outcome to life challenges.
