I understand from my mother that I was a very cuddly baby. I always loved nature and always felt for the underdog. The trouble seemed to begin around my fourth year of school. I was labeled as slow and thus held back to repeat the year. This I believe was the starting point on the path to many years of turmoil. It would take too long to write about all the events through these years. Besides a lot of people would say I am trying to blame others for my problems. But since my NDE I understand these events were for me to learn lessons. Okay, so I was held back, forced to have a brain scan (the doctor's prognosis, normal) and by my early teen years was even taken to a shrink. One visit was all. He told my parents he could do nothing as I could outsmart him. I was really on the wrong path by now. I believe my being rebellious built a wall to contain the gentle spirit that I know resides in all of us. I had seen much cruelty, but what I have always rebelled against most was the fear/punishment attitude of society.
