Interview with 'The Temple of All Knowing' Lee Papa
Lee Papa’s start in the corporate world was
in sales for the Hyatt Regency Hotel chain, which led to being head hunted by a
NY based real estate developer. Lee spent the next 11 years as a key employee
working in commercial real estate leasing and management in Baltimore, Maryland. Although, commercial real estate was now
in her blood and she loved the art of the deal, a different road in the
industry was presenting itself and that brought her to heading up the
benchmarking division for a Los Angeles based real estate consulting firm. Her job
had her traveling nationally and setting up programs to benchmark customer
satisfaction. Understanding there was not a one shoe fits all approach to
customer surveying, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey and started with
consulting to serve the customized needs of her clients.
Lee’s first book, The
Temple of All Knowing, is a memoir of her several years journey prior
to her near death experience, through the completion of the 6,000 square foot
Ganesha Center in Las Vegas. The book details the roadmap from personal
darkness through spiritual, emotional and physical transformation.
Since the completion of the manuscript the Las Vegas Sanctuary for the
Spirit evolved by moving to a downtown Las Vegas location and now offers
targeted classes and workshops while focusing on a Virtual Ganesha Center
supporting individuals and corporations with programs and a Referral Network
with expansive reach for optimal awareness.

Q: Welcome to The Writer's Life! Now that your book has been published, we’d
love to find out more about the process.
Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning? Where did you come up with the idea to write
your book?
Thank you.
In Sept 2008 I went to the Light. I had a near death experience. Not by the hand of an accident or horrible
disease, no my earth departing culprit was my words.
Q: How hard was it to write a book like this and do
you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier
for other writers?
The only difficulty was finding the block of time
to write. I am not one of those
disciplined writers, I have many projects going at a time and with my teaching
and private practice and being a mom, finding the time was the hardest bit. I
write from my heart. I quiet myself with
a brief meditation and allow the flow of inspiration to come.
Q: Who is your publisher and how did you find them
or did you self-publish?
I chose to
self-publish. It made the most sense for
a new author and the type of book. I
already had a platform and a following.
It is a memoir but it is so much more than that. It is hope and inspiration. It is healing. I was not aspiring to make a ton of money on
this book but rather my goal is to get it in the hands of who needs it.
Q: Is there anything that surprised you about
getting your first book published?
That I actually accomplished it. So many people are
writing their book but they haven’t touched it for years. This was 4 years in the making. A labor of love. I am thrilled that it is out there.
Q: What other books (if any) are you working on and
when will they be published?
I have started my second book, actually, two second
books. I am not sure which one will make
it first. A children’s book with my son,
about seeing spirits. And another based
on my extraordinary journey to Peru in 2013. It was
a terrifying and transformative experience.
Q: What’s your favorite place to hang out online?
Facebook and where ever my intuition and fingers
take me to explore regarding spiritual expansion.
Q: Finally, what message (if any) are you trying to
get across with your book?
·
Everything
we need is within us.
·
There
is no death. Only life and life.
·
Our
thoughts, words and actions are powerful and create our realities.
·
There
is nothing that you are not enough of.
Is that too
many? I have more…LOL.
Q: Thank you again for this interview! Do you have any final words?
Thank you for this opportunity to share the message
of my book, The Temple of All Knowing
with your audience. Motivational/inspirational speaking engagement inquiries or
book signings should be forwarded to lee@leepapa.com.
I’ll leave you with
this, “With change comes transformation…be open to the possibilities.” Lee Papa
