Clues Can Light the Way: A Discovery of Clues for the Greatest Puzzle of All: the Purpose of Life and Beyond

In his early years, author Alan A. Allen was an active, fun-loving, risk-taking boy with no thoughts about dying. As he grew, his fascination for math and science helped him build a career, but it hampered his appreciation of the many mysterious non-scientific experiences that captured his curiosity and often saved his life.

For years, unexplainable events continued to test his confidence with science-based logic. Strange circumstances and outcomes were so mystifying that he could only attribute them to luck, or possibly guidance from an all-knowing source beyond this world. He soon perceived that accidents, close encounters with death, and life-changing connections with people are clues. An extraordinary connection with his father proved the significance of such clues. His father shared a Near Death Experience and revealed information about life after death and why we come to earth. The exchange between father and son provided closure as his father made a final transition to the other side a few weeks later. Most importantly, the author learned how important love without condition is and how mysterious events can serve as clues for discovering one's purpose in life.

In Clues Can Light the Way, Allen describes how unexplainable events and profound connections with others awakened his understanding and excitement for life. He reveals how such experiences are like pieces of a puzzle for why we are here and how we are all interconnected.

Alan A. Allen, born in New Jersey in 1938, graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania with a physics degree, spent five years in the U.S. Navy, and continued studies at several universities in physics, petroleum engineering, and oceanography. Allen retired in 2020 as a world-renowned emergency-response coordinator and researcher dealing with marine pollution incidents in nearly 50 countries. He has written hundreds of technical and environmental protection documents, as well as numerous accounts of what he calls the "softer side" of his travels-the interactions with, and lessons learned from, people along the way.
