KNOW THYSELF
heart than others. It has become clear that there are many similarities but also many diferencies. I have come to conclude that there are many ways, many paths to walk to find God. There are though almost an unanimous concept in regards to the importance in the old: Know Thyself. In 1998 I was pregnant, expecting a baby girl, when I fell very ill 8months into the pregnancy. I could feel that my baby had died, and at the hospital they confirmed that. Somewhere here I have a tunnel vision of following the soul of my babygirl. I am stopped by a lightbeing that tells me that I have to choose. To choose between my oldest son, leaving him, or following the soul of my girl. As they showed me the image of my 3 year old son, I just knew with every fiber of my being that I couldn't leave him. Soon after this I had a very clear vision both visual and sound from a being telling me that I would recover my health completely (at that time I wouldn't have thought it possible, nor would my doctors) and that I would be having a gift of another baby. He has truly been a gift, even though it hasn't always been easy.
Hi, My name is Anna Maria Ottosson, I am a Swedish born woman living in Portugal since 1994. Mother of 2 sons. My search for God and spiritual truth started early. I say my search, because I recall being around 6 or 7 when I asked my Mother where I came from. -From my belly , she answered. I must have looked more than confused because she came back to me with a booklet about how babied are made. I wasn't pleased. I wanted to know where I came from, who I truly was. Some years later, around 12 I started to have what I would call my first existential crises. The life we were leading, that we were expected to lead, didn't make sense to me. So as I was contemplating life I came to the conclusion that for life to make sense it had to have meaning. I later came across Victor Frankl's book on the subject. So my search for God and spiritual truth started. I used to say that I needed to KNOW God, at least I needed to KNOW that God existed. Trusting someone else's words was not enough. So I have over the years become quite obsessed with the need to recognize and understand the Truth around God's laws. To experience how I can transform my life when I fully comprehend the truth. As anyone who dedicates themselves like I have to studying spiritual and religious teachings and rituals, I have come to hold some closer to my
Somewhere in this I got the message that the first step in order to fulfill any purpose or mission in life, the first step is always KNOW THYSELF. Today I find that assisting people in this is what I am here to do, and by doing that I am actively participating in creating Heaven on Earth. Quite clearly it is a most personal objective for me, but I find that assisting others to Create their version of Heaven is most certainly assisting me in the same process. Now, although Heaven sounds as without issues, that is not so. Heaven on Earth is when we can be our authentic essences, and create our lives from there. It does in no way take away the challenges in life, but gives them a different meaning. I find it somewhat flawed to call myself a coach or a therapist, when what I really am here to do is to assist people in knowing themselves and helping them reconnect with their inner strength and personal truth. So therefore I might call myself a SoulAdventurer. As we are all souls having an adventure in life. To make it clear, any actual adventure comes with risk. It cannot truly be called an adventure otherwise. The issue is not if there are risks, but what type 28
