Editing Lawrence Spencer (section)

==Background==

Spencer began his writing career with the book ''The Oz Factors'' (1997), which draws on the story of ''The Wizard of Oz'' to critique Western societal values.<ref name="Lulu" /> This book outlines twelve common thought patterns that Spencer believes prevent humanity from finding effective solutions to societal problems. ''The Oz Factors'' combines historical, philosophical, and scientific analysis to explore these concepts.

In addition to ''The Oz Factors'', Spencer's other works include ''Pan: God of The Woods'', a modern reimagining of ancient gods, where Pan, the ancient Greek god, encounters a disembodied tech entrepreneur. The book explores rebirth, spirituality, and enlightenment through a journey across both human and spiritual realms.<ref name="Lulu" />

Spencer describes himself as both an author and a small business consultant. While his consulting work meets his physical needs, he states that his writing nourishes his spiritual self. His literary pursuits center on the idea that humans are "immortal spiritual beings" who create and inhabit universes. He emphasizes narratives that celebrate spiritual essence rather than the human body.<ref name="amazon" />
