About this ebook
Gabriele Annegret writes about her own life journey and provides you with a map to circumnavigate any road blocks you might encounter.
Is your life so organized that you feel totally restless underneath the perfection?
Or are you confronted with lots of challenges that seem, at times, overwhelming?
Whatever your situation might be, know that the universe is always on your side, and be brave to change your status quo. Have faith that there is always a way out and a plethora of divine guidance available to you. You might consult an oracle or a psychic or visit a healer. You might learn how to pay attention to an omen. You might attend a workshop to get back in touch with the innate abilities we all were born with. Take a leap of faith and move ahead on the road to expansion and ultimately, wholeness. Only then can you find true happiness and joy.
Gabriele Annegret

Our thoughts define reality.
We can easily get stuck in a box of limitations of our own making.
Step out of your comfort zone and face truths about yourself. Taking responsibility for your own life is the first step toward self-empowerment and, ultimately, freedom and joy. Life is a constant exploration, and opportunities to grow are always offered, often through challenges and obstacles. They are never more than you are able to handle, and help is all around us. Do you give up, or do you take charge of your life? By facing and overcoming obstacles, your spiritual awareness will expand and you can grow into who you are truly meant to be.
CHAPTER 1
24916.pngBirth
Do we choose to be born when we are? I always wondered. What made me decide to be delivered in a hospital in Bremen in northern Germany on a winter’s morning at 2:15 a.m.? My mother insisted that I hesitated and stayed in the womb so long that my skin was as soft as a ripe peach. However, I agree with the following teaching that Paramahansa Yogananda received from his master, Sri Yukteswar: A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results
(Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi). Since I believe in horoscopes—from accomplished astrologers—I suppose my time had come and my soul had slipped into a new vessel.
There was no going back, and I attempted to make the best of it. The Buddhists say that life is suffering, but at that stage in my life it wasn’t obvious. I was a healthy, friendly baby, and it had nothing to do with my behavior when my mother put me in a children’s home run by the Catholic Church before I reached my first birthday. She had no choice, as she let me know when I found out the details some thirty years later—sadly, when I decided that she would be better off in an old people’s home. Even though it wasn’t intended, it seems to be true that what goes around comes around.
As I got the paperwork ready for my mother’s application, I stumbled over some of the timelines. They didn’t make sense. I dug deeper. She had spent a long time in an institution. Where was I during that time? Neither my brother nor my sister would have been able to look after me; my brother had been an apprentice in a bakery, and my sister had still been going to school. I vaguely remembered that I had spent some time in a children’s home. But exactly how long? I contacted the Theresienhaus, which was still in operation helping children and teenagers, and discovered that they had archived the ledgers from the period when it had been run by nuns. I made an appointment. The building is situated close to the River Weser in Bremen-Vegesack and is beautiful and grand. I have always loved big hallways and doors, and something resonated with me as I stepped through the impressive entrance.
InsertImage1.jpgA helpful employee with a couple of books under his arm approached me and invited me to sit down at a table. We started the search in 1954, the year I was born. I noticed the beautiful handwriting and followed the entries with my index finger, reading the names of the children and the dates they had arrived and left. So many stories! Finally, there was my name; I had been signed in on January 12, 1955, shortly before my first birthday,
