My intention in writing My Life in Secret is to be a beacon of light for others, who are struggling in their darkness, letting them know they are not alone! My transformation began as I started taking classes at Delphi University, a school for spiritual growth and psychic development in McCaysville, Georgia. I became conscious I was living in a prison of my own making. There is a magnificent brilliance within me. As I step into the light, I am grateful for being alive today. K. F. Mueller received a certification as a metaphysician practitioner from Delphi University. She lives in North Carolina. For more information, go to www.KFMueller.com.

My Intention
My intention for writing this book is to be a beacon of light for others who are struggling in their darkness, letting them know they are not alone. I can feel the hearts of people crying out. There is hope for those who live in the painful world of loneliness.
Who I Am
First and foremost, I’m an adult child of an alcoholic parent. You wouldn’t believe how many times I have said that out loud—the answer is only two or three times. You don’t know what you don’t know. No one spoke about the alcoholic in the family. It was what it was. Growing up you think your family is normal, just like everyone else’s family. That is, until you realize different.
It was normal to see a parent fall asleep
at the kitchen table in the middle of the afternoon. Everyone simply walks around the passed-out drunk.
At a young age I learned how to shut off my feelings. Feelings simply created more disruptions in a chaotic environment, and by distancing myself from feelings I was able to keep myself safe.
It became an extremely lonely existence. It was painful for me to be with people in general. I stayed invisible—completely invisible to the world around me. I learned not to talk unless spoken to, not to trust anyone—not even myself.
When I came into contact with people, they had no idea who they were dealing with. In simple terms, I continued all the behaviors I learned in childhood. I did what I knew. For decades and decades I suffered in perpetual silence. Finally, the suffering ended when I realized my suffering was self-imposed.
And So It Began
Everything changed during my very first class at Delphi University, a school for psychic development and spiritual growth. Delphi University was founded by Patricia Hayes in 1974, and it is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in McCaysville, Georgia. Delphi University offers classes in spiritual training, energy healing, intuitive development, transpersonal psychology, and self-enlightenment studies. The teachers and healers at Delphi University create an indescribable experience for the students. Classes at Delphi University are highly concentrated. So when taking a class at Delphi, you stay on the campus twenty-four hours a day. You never actually leave Delphi during classes. Each class usually lasts between five and seven consecutive days. With an abundance of spiritual energy running around at Delphi, it’s an extraordinary place to grow, heal, and transform.
I was told about Delphi University when I asked a psychic reader about where to go to learn more about my abilities. The reader suggested a couple of places, and one of them was Delphi. I liked what I saw on the website, so I decided to jump in with both feet, and I signed up for in-depth channeling. Not knowing what to expect didn’t seem to bother me. I was open to whatever was going to come.
In the beginning my only intention in going to Delphi was to learn psychic development. Growing, healing, and transforming were not even on my radar screen at the time. It was at Delphi University where I learned the unthinkable. I learned I am worthy of love. Honestly, I never ever knew that I could be loved—believe it or not!
It was an absolute stranger who touched the deepest part of my soul. That’s when the miracle took place. An emotional breakthrough of gargantuan proportions touched the innermost core of my being, sparking a light within me to burn ever so bright! The kindness shown to me I will never, ever forget. During the in-depth channeling class, the students gave readings to each other, and the teacher paired up the students. Why was I paired up with this particular student? I don’t know. Obviously, the teacher definitely knew what she was doing because if that pairing didn’t happen, well, none of the rest would have ever occurred. That student showed me kindness, genuine kindness. It
happened during the student readings. I was completely caught off guard when that classmate told me that I was beautiful, and a loving person. As the student continued stating more caring and thoughtful personality traits; I began to cry. What I was expecting? I don’t know, but I definitely wasn’t expecting to get what I got.
It was a seamless flow of events that transformed my entire life without me even being conscious of what was happening at the time it was happening.
Thank you, thank you, thank you God for putting this extraordinary, exceptional angel of a human being in my path.
By the end of the class, I was overcome with sadness at the thought I would have to leave Delphi and go back to the real world. That one class completely changed me in every way possible. I was beginning to feel! My journey had begun. My world was shifting and so was I. I would remain positive, and not let all the idiots of the world stop me.
I have always been told not to listen to what people say to me, about me. However, being thick-skinned is difficult for me. How exactly am I supposed to stop being overly sensitive?
Breaking down the beliefs, limitations, and barriers from my childhood is what I need to concentrate on to become strong. I grew up not having many choices. Basically, I was told what to do and what not to do. When one of my siblings did something he or she wasn’t allowed to do, I would get yelled at. I would get in trouble for stuff I didn’t even do. It seemed as if my mother enjoyed yelling at me, because she did it so frequently. Looking back now, I don’t think she enjoyed much of her life. In less than three years she had three children and was married to an alcoholic husband, whose idea of support was bringing home a paycheck and little else. Most of the time, it was as if she was a single parent—except, of course, for that alcoholic component.
My family life was chaotic all day every day. Growing up I seldom spent time with my father. He was very self-absorbed. His family always came second to him. When you asked him for help, he would say yes, then never show up. I learned not to bother asking for help because
