<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you dear Birgitt. You are an inspiration to
me in my daily work. When I did my first one and a half day OSmeeting recently,
and was sitting in the closing circle I felt so present and moved. The group was
the swedish association for relatives and friends of suicide victims. The
questions of heart had been so full of what is most precious to us all. When I
was sitting there, holding that space, I felt close to you.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">Since I was a small child, since the
earliest of my remembering, I wanted to know and serve God. God for me is
Spirit, Prime Creator. I set about on the journey that was my own path to find
my way. I learned that it is important to me to walk the mystical path with
practical feet. I do not choose to stay off in the flow and glow world. I am
here on this earth and I am here to be my fullest self and to leave this world
having made a contribution towards our evolution and development. I found that
in order to develop my vision for my life and my work, I needed to have the
courage to answer the questions “who am I” and “why am I here”.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My journey to date has been my quest
to answer these questions. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Arial Narrow" color=black size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">The “who am I” question is a hard one,
because it requires speaking my truth to myself. In order to bring my mind,
heart, and actions into alignment I had to examine what my mind is and wants,
what my heart is and wants, and whether my actions align with my heart and
mind. Do I walk my talk? My vision of what I want to leave for the next
generation includes that I have lived a life of being authentically me and
from this place, allowing each of them to be authentically them. I wonder if
there is a greater gift that I can give these children? I think it is the
biggest gift because if they each find their way to being authentically
themselves, they will uncover the great light and power inside themselves and
they will remember their connection with Spirit, basking in the fullness of
this relationship. Every person has great inner light and the opportunity to
discover it. I want that to be a lesson that my very living teaches others for
their own connection to Spirit.</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN

God’s love and healing energy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
am here to create opportunities for people to awaken their higher

organizations of people rather than one on one work because for me there is
spiritual efficiency in this. I don’t shy away from the one to one work when

each individual has within them the key ingredients to make life nurturing

consciousness is needed to recognize the inner greatness that is there and
then to have the courage to work with it and from it. For me, all
organizations are Open Space Organizations, working with Spirit. My quest is
to work with those who wish to be conscious Open Space Organizations and
consciously work with Spirit. My quest is to work with those organizations of
people who choose to lead organizations as though Spirit matters and people
are precious. My vision is that at the time of my death, I have created the
opportunities for millions of organizations of people to access their higher
consciousness and to work as conscious Open Space Organizations, with Spirit.
My vision is that at the time of my death, thousands of others will also be
doing this work, moving it forward each in their unique ways, following the
paths that are uniquely theirs. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN
