Sheila Keene-Lund was born to an English father and a Puerto Rican mother in Vigo, Spain. The family lived in Cuba, England, and Puerto Rico before moving to the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Lucia, where she grew up and eventually married and had three sons.

In St. Lucia, Keene-Lund completed training in corporate management and finance with the London Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. She later became chief operations officer of Carib Touring Limited, a position she held for five years.

Moving her family to Fairfield, Iowa, Keene-Lund worked as a marketing manager for a local software company before starting her own business. Document It! Inc. worked with Fortune 500 corporations to implement their ISO 9000 quality management system. Keene-Lund also developed a set of twelve standard operation procedure manuals pertaining to all aspects of nursing home and assisted living environments.

While in Fairfield, Keene-Lund started a non-profit organization, the Adopt-a-Grandparent Foundation whose mission was to promote meaningful relationships between the elderly and the youth of the community. She developed a unique program for matching grandparents to youth and documented the system so that it could be introduced in any city. During her two years as executive director, she arranged and managed the “adoption” of over two-hundred elderly citizens in nursing homes and assisted living settings, with over two-hundred and twenty-five volunteers.

Introduced to the Transcendental Meditation technique in 1977, Keene-Lund became a certified teacher in 1980. In Iowa she became an altar server at the St. Gabriels and All Angels Liberal Catholic Church and eventually a deaconess. In that capacity she developed workshops on spiritual care for the living and dying. These programs served to expand the understanding of the dying process and complimented her work as a hospice volunteer.

Sheila Keene-Lund has devoted much of the last fifteen years to writing Heaven Is Not the Last Stop. It has been a journey of research and reflection, of theoretical and creative insight-clarifying and expanding the Big Picture of Existence. Sheila lives with her husband Bart in central Florida.

Have you ever asked yourself why our world is burdened with intolerance, prejudice, and hate when the foundations of all major religions are love, peace, and service? Do you wonder why we can’t seem to align our human actions with our divine ideals?

In the search for meaning our world has reached a plateau of spiritual beliefs, a blending of philosophies and theologies from east to west, from mainstream to the esoteric, from the ancient to the latest. Despite a growing interest in personal spiritual development, much of the world suffers from moral and religious confusion. Peace, the measure of social evolution, continues to elude us. Our challenge is not so much to do things differently but to perceive them differently, in a new light that is graced with the wisdom of an epochal revelation. Embracing new insights into our understanding of God and God’s relation to humanity will stimulate devotion, spiritual humility, and a selfless attitude of service. The faith grasp of the fatherhood of God makes obvious its corollary: the brotherhood of all humans. This simple yet profound spiritual understanding holds the potential to reshape our world.

Today’s stubborn adherence to rigid thinking divides a weary humanity, locked in conflict and afflicted with violence. We see our own beliefs as truth, but too often our actions are not aligned with the essence of those beliefs. The brotherhood of man gets lip service but is largely ignored in the march of personal and political interactions. The never-ending quest for dominance breeds power struggle and religious upheaval, distracting us from our human commonality. Living like members of the family of God is more than an intellectual concept or optimistic hope, and the doing of righteousness is not enough. It is being righteous, the result of deliberate and steadfast efforts to cultivate true spiritual character, that nourishes unity and fosters the spirit of cooperation among all people.
