My
"spiritual" history (what, in the life, is not
spiritual?) begins as a child who was looking at the
skies and asking what is the meaning of all this and
why have I come here. The indicial all embracing pain
of being separated filled my youth but did not lead me to
a conscious search or any spiritual teacher. Rather I
first studied science hopping to find the answer there.
Completing my studies of engineering and serving in the
army made me turn to literature and music and comparing my
understanding of the humanities with that of science
through philosophy. Understanding that this quest can not
be realized under the normal conditions of career I
dropped everything and went together with my wife to Spain
to look for my spiritual roots, using a scholarship I got
for Ph.D from the Spanish government to focus on the
teaching of Cabbala. It was there I came across Guidance
that changed my life completely.
My
first spiritual teacher was illness. It was a breast
cancer of my sister, with whom I spent the summer of
1998 in
hospital with, in chemotherapy treatments and who
recovered completely since then. This made me
recognize the need to focus my search, understand this
movie and free myself of it. I started by investigating
that realm which is beyond death and learned healing and
mediumship with an international medium called Jennifer
Mackenzie.
It was then that noticed this interior dimension that
today I call Guidance, which is like an aspect of
Divine Grace we can appeal two and evolve consciously. It
led me to books and people and is accompanying me since
then. I also felt guided by a specific figure that was
later identified as Haidakhan Babaji. From Jennifer I
learned not to doubt the information that I received by
means of the spiritual quest. After multiple
experiments I had to admit that science could not explain
it and that the probabilities would be are scarce.
My
third important teacher was Pablo
de la Iglesia,
a friend who suffers from multiple Sclerosis and who could
manage this illness by means of the spirituality and
naturopathy. For me he was an enlightened being and a
gentle person before his visits to the ashram of Kalki and
Ama and in South America. During a retreat that Pablo gave
in our centre I surrendered to the Divine. Through
him I truly learned to surrender and today I do my best to
do so wherever I am. When surrender is complete so is the
Awakening. A good example is Ramana Maharashi, whom at the
age of 17 surrendered to a conscious death. Today I teach
people to surrender to the Beyond within themselves
without the need of an exterior figure of spiritual
teacher. It is perhaps more difficult but more safe in the
long term.
But
this initiation would not have been complete without
the the meditation practices and the books that fell into
my hands from a friend and by a teacher then called
Kristof Aziz. He analyzed the evolution of inner states in
meditation and their relation to the breath and went
beyond any other teaching that I knew of at the time and I
surrendered to it completely without meeting him. Through
his work it was possible to understand quantum leaps in
inner states and integrate the previous knowledge I
acquired. When I finally met him, years later, it was
evident for me that he was a Self Realized master, but
that his approach did not coincide with my experience in
the field of healing, understanding of Creation, the need to transform the subconscious
mind before we implement any teaching of inner states of
consciousness and in order to reach purity of the heart. I
abstain from mentioning his current name or direct
criticism of his approach on this website and respect his wish to stay anonymous.
Among
my other spiritual teachers there are many others that
inspired me with their books and teachings when I was
striving passionately to learn the Truth and understand
myself. I can mention Paramahansa Yogananda,
Muktananda, Osho, Ramana Maharashi, Trungpa, Joseph
Campbell, Sogyal Rinpoche, Arie Kaplan, Hazrat inayat
Khan, Dadi Janki, Deepak Chopra, Robert Monroe, and many
others, all of which enabled me to writen these words.
Today my guides are trees and mountains, animals, friends,
my wife and my children. They are all
part of the Giant Hollogram of Creation, projected from
within, in which you are also are included. I
invite you to to be my teacher too.
