Saturday 19th of April saw the official launch of my book, Fatally Flawed (The Quest to be Deepest) and it is turning out to be an interesting journey! For those of you who have heard the rumours - the book is still in print and has not been 'pulled'. The word controversial is however starting to apply.
Reactions have been varied. For me it has been a revelation. Truth it seems is very subjective, reality even more so! Which makes me wonder how real our individual realities are. If every person on a dive experiences something different and in fact sees that dive differently whose version of the 'truth' is real ? How many of us Dare to Be ?
About Me
- Verna van Schaik
- Northcliff, Gauteng, South Africa
- My claim to fame is the world record for the deepest dive by a woman (221 meters) set at Boesmansgat, a cave in the Northern Cape (South Africa). My passion is exploration and not only underwater. Exploration is about fun and learning. It creates a level of empowerment in your life and finding and creating EMPOWERMENT is my true passion. Without it life is a series of inexplicable events that blow you were they may. With the ability to choose what you want and who you want to be you have control in any moment of any day. Which is why I had to find out what my world record meant. The answer ? Mastery of Myself. Imagine what your life would be like if you had complete control over your actions ? Imagine how your life would change if you changed how you reacted, how you behaved ? Now, what if changing your behaviour is something as simple as a conscious choice ? Something that does not require your thoughts and emotions to be aligned ? Imagine who you could be if you could Master Yourself ?
