Rooms of Life – and the Beyond Inside

Viktoria B. Knots

Description

This memoir shares the author’s life story of leaving a difficult partnership, being mysteriously guided on a spiritual path, and embarking on many wondrous journeys.
For author Viktoria B. Knots, the different parts of her life feel like individual rooms. In Rooms of Life – and the BEYOND inside, she examines her life as a series of ‘rooms,’ beginning with her early years and continuing through to the present day.
In her family Viktoria was known as the sensitive and serious child, always in search of finding answers about the meaning and purpose of life. Life’s experiences reinforced these tendencies and heaved her onto the track of spirituality, where she feels at home. In 2007, an epiphany happened on a spiritual journey in Egypt, and two years later another one in Peru, during a Shamanic ceremony, with the so-called vine of the soul, Ayahuasca, that opened a new understanding about life for her.
She was then ‘sent’ on many a journey, sometimes with a mission. Overtoning and sound healing began to fascinate her, and she immersed in it. Through visiting mediumistic and trance courses at the Arthur Findley College in England, new fields opened, communicating the message: There is a vast field out there to be explored in the BEYOND inside. We just have to dare go there for visits to help us in widening our consciousness.

About the Author
DEDICATION
I dedicate this book to my beloved children and their families,
the lineage of the past and the future,
and to the remembrance of love and light in all of us.
CHIT CHAT
M y name is Viktoria, and I live in the mountainous area of Bavaria in the south of Germany. For more than a decade, I got the information in dreams or intuitively on certain occasions, nudging me to write a book, and somehow I am wonderfully able to push this idea into the background, again and again. Excuses come to mind, like: There are already so many books! What should I write about? Who would be interested in what I have experienced? Is it my ego that wants to feel important through a book? Do I make a fool of myself when I report about my life?
The decision to finally start writing was initiated through an internet workshop by Reid Tracy, the CEO of Hay House Publishing, when he was talking about how important it is to get our stories out to the world. Somehow he convinced me to follow the calling that had already been there.
Finally, I decided on a title and started to write ‘Rooms of Life – and the BEYOND inside.’ Different parts of life feel like individual rooms to me. The fact that I also went on an inside journey has nothing to do with escaping the world but with pure curiosity. More and more, I thought that there must be more to what we see as the outside world, and that was why I went on a search, acting as my own guinea pig, to encounter new experiences, curious about where they would lead me. On the one hand, it led me inside – to find out how I can expand my consciousness to get out of the victim trap, and on the other hand, I found more interests, like in harmonic singing, sound healing, and mediumistic experiences. There was what seemed a calling to go on many journeys, for example, to India, Peru, England, France, and mainly Egypt, where many surprising things happened on the outside and inside.
I am a normal human being on the path of finding herself and re-strengthen my connection to the Divine. By observing the experiences of life on earth, working and transforming my shadow sides, this connection got stronger.
Tom Kenyon, an American sound healer, suggests to the participants in his workshops that everyone should discern what they can accept and put everything else into an imaginary box of ‘possible and impossible possibilities.’ This, too, seems like a good idea for the readers of this book.
I write my story and reports as I have experienced them without whitewashing. Some of the clever books I’ve read say that all of life is an illusion. That may be the case, but nevertheless, this life’s illusion feels very real, especially the sensations and emotions that arise when they are highly triggered. I am not a great poet or writer, so please do not expect grammatical subtleties. For the book to ever come about, I can only write it in an easy way, ‘the way my beak grew’ (German expression: Wie mir der Schnabel gewachsen ist). As I am not an English native speaker, the language might be simple – and the spelling and grammar not always correct – but as long as it can be understood, I am content.
There are so many things that were initially a mystery to me and often only deciphered over a longer period. Much has happened that is inexplicable unless you believe in a higher power. I have been a great doubter-before-the-Lord for many years. However, this has changed through countless special experiences that occurred.
Through writing about this path, many things got sorted out and became more clear. It is not about: ‘Look, how good I am and what I experienced’ but ‘Look what is possible if you go on your path and into the flow of infinite possibilities.’
This is an attempt to show how life can develop in unprecedented ways if one gives it a chance with questions like: ‘Who am I?’ and ‘How can I serve?’
‘The real purpose of a book is to entice the mind from behind, into thinking its own thoughts.’
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach , Austrian writer (1830-1916)

ROOM OF LIFE 1 – YOUNGER YEARS
J ust in time to do some vigorous breathing on a February day before lunch, I appeared in the sign of the zodiac of Pisces on this planet.
I suppose my parents were glad that I was a girl. An almost 2-year-old boy was already in the family. Anyway, my brother was very happy with his sister and told everyone who wanted to hear it or not that he now had a-very-small-Ba (baby) and showed with his little hands how very small I was. For fun, he sometimes still calls me his Little Ba.
The first memory I have of myself is an occurrence quite early. I stood in a white children’s crib on the terrace of my parent’s house, the sun was shining, and I realized that I was alive on this earth and immensely happy about it. At that time, I probably thought that I would stay in that happiness forever. But why was I so happy? Much later, I still remembered this experience, but no one believed that I could remember anything from a time when I could not have been more than 7-8 months old. However, at some point, I found a photo in a photo album of my mother: Me, standing in the white crib on the terrace - eh voila - the proof.
From the age of around two up to twelve years, I had special moments of introspection now and then. This happened, for example when I curled up in a curtain to hide (which I really liked to do). Then it was like going behind the ‘veils.’ A peculiar feeling surrounded me that is difficult to describe. I try it anyway. It felt like I was in another place that was parallel to the place I was in, maybe a different dimension, and it was a place of absolute peace and light, and today I would say, close to the Divine. (In my early years, I knew nothing about God or religion.) In that other place, I felt safe and loved. It was clear to me that I am an everlasting part of this light. As I learned later that people die, I knew that this meant they returned to that light. In this other world, there was another being, just like me, but with wings, and it was observing what I was doing.
Only recently, I came across the story that C. G. Jung had contact with his ‘Etheric Twin’ to which he had given the name of Philemon (friend), and that he had received ideas, thoughts, and impulses from this being from the other realms. There is also a drawing in his famous Red Book. In the book ‘Our divine double’ by Charles M. Stand is written: ‘To encounter one’s divine double is to embark on a path of deification that closes the gap between image and archetype, human and divine.’ All these years, I had wondered about what I had seen as a child and did not understand it, and now, finally, I got an answer – marvelous.
As beautiful as it was in this other place for me, it only lasted for a short time. I had to return to this life again and again. That bright place felt like my true home and is probably the reason why I never feel entirely at home on earth. It can be seen as a ‘programming error’ because usually, our memories and access to our ‘homeland’ are completely erased when we are born or reborn on earth. With me, it was erased, let’s say 80%. When this extrasensory state was occurring, I was happy, but when it was gone, I fel
