Figuring out Father

Author: Athelé Oosterbroek

It takes honesty, guts and sustained hard work to find and give birth to the authen­tic you. We make the same mistakes again and again until we don’t. We think we’ve arrived only to find we’re back where we started. And we may well give up entirely or feel that we’re failing because all the same things keep coming around again and again.

This is an autobiography of the brave and ­honest kind. Athelé – metaphysician, spirit­ual teacher and professional numerologist – takes you on a guided tour of some of the events, processes and relationships that formed and expressed her obsessive drive for approval and its resultant codependency and self-sabotaging behaviours. She gives an open-hearted recounting of how difficult it can be to become the person you are meant to be, especially when dealing with the ­dynamics of close and often difficult relationships – in her case, the relationship with her father and the men in her life.

At the core of this book lies Athelé’s burning hope that the reader will evolve through understanding where she went wrong, rather than ­have to ­struggle themselves through endless passages to arrive at the same simple, but ­life-changing truths. Each chapter explores a central esoteric theme – ­forgiveness, healing, truth, release, understanding, ­synthesis, courage, trans­formation and independence – and suggests practical shortcuts to those spiritual destinations.

From the quiet place where soul meets spirit and the ego disappears, Athelé gives you profound insight into what it means to live consciously and how to maintain that state of grace.
