SEDONA, AZ – In his explosive new memoir, “Living On The Precipice,” author, musician, and spiritual seeker Steven Von Linne invites readers on a high-octane journey through the counter-culture of the 1960s, the jungles of Brazil, and the frozen frontiers of Alaska. Part action-thriller, part spiritual guide, Von Linne’s 2025 release documents a life defined by near-death experiences and the inexplicable divine interventions that ensured his survival.
Born in the San Francisco Bay Area during the height of the psychedelic era, Von Linne’s story begins with the rebellion of a generation. Facing the draft during the Vietnam War, he takes readers on a white-knuckle ride through his “AWOL Adventures,” narrowly escaping military confinement and navigating the underground world of the late 60s.
However, “Living On The Precipice” is far more than a war story. It is a testament to the power of intuition and angelic guidance. Von Linne details harrowing encounters that defy logical explanation, including.
·Surviving Serial Killers: A terrifying hitchhiking ordeal on the West Coast where Von Linne and a companion escaped the clutches of predators.
The Alaska Gunfight: A standoff over a stolen vehicle in the freezing temperatures of Anchorage that nearly ended in tragedy.
Brazilian Bandits: A late-night party in Belo Horizonte that turned into an armed carjacking, leaving Von Linne stranded but miraculously unharmed.
The NASA Cover-Up: A gripping account of his time as a videographer in 1992, where he documented Richard Hoagland’s controversial presentation on lunar structures, leading to black helicopters and government intimidation.
Underlying these cinematic events is a profound spiritual evolution. Von Linne candidly shares his out-of-body experiences , his encounters with spiritual masters and gurus in Los Angeles , and the “55555” synchronicity that confirmed his path.
“I never knew or anticipated that I would make my stories into a book,” says Von Linne. “I was trying to document some of my life experiences so I wouldn’t forget them… Remarkably, I was able to recall them in more detail than I thought possible. I think the reason for that is that the experiences were for the lessons I needed to become more aware, and a better person.”
From the stage of a Brazilian beach town where he became an overnight musical sensation to the quiet solitude of a meditation retreat, Von Linne’s life is a testament to the belief that love is the only true reality. “Living On The Precipice” is a story for anyone who has ever felt guided by a force greater than themselves.
