I grew up in a Catholic family and attended a Catholic school. In my late teens, I began to question and distance myself from Christianity, though I never abandoned my quest for spiritual connection.
In my early teens, I had a spontaneous experience of unconditional love. It was an immersive experience that involved an altered perception of reality; it felt as though I could see the molecules of the objects around me. Everything seemed infused with life and light. The presence of this unconditional love brought profound sensations and meaning. In that moment, I simply knew that this unconditional love existed for every human being, regardless of any other factors, such as what we do or say. I have always aspired to reconnect with this love.
At the age of 18, I came to Brazil to pursue my university studies. During this time, I explored esotericism and connection with subtle realms. I practiced meditation, Tai Chi Chuan, and experimented with vegetarianism.
At the end of my university years, I got married and moved to a new city. Soon after, I found another group to continue my explorations, this time in the form of a well-structured spiritual community (Figueira Community). I was part of this community for nearly 20 years. The break occurred due to changes introduced in the teachings that I could not integrate.
I continued my search individually. Nearly 15 years followed, marked by the development of self-responsibility and the healing of emotional wounds. I explored Pathwork® and studied Integral Theory on my own, in addition to reading many books. I undertook various training programs and studies through courses and self-awareness practices, including Tantra (Comunna Metamorfose), family constellations, ayahuasca rituals, ThetaHealing®, circular breathing, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT®), the Rayid® Model, Ayurveda, and Yoga.
Through Rayid, I discovered the existence of universal laws that also manifest in Ayurveda and Yoga—universal laws of harmony governed by mathematical precision, created by an intelligent and loving Father/Mother. These are laws that, when followed, allow us to experience this quality of harmony in our body, mind, and emotions. This discovery alone would have justified all those years of searching, if my interest had been solely in personal and social health and well-being, as I am witnessing their effectiveness. However, there is something even greater than all the teachings and techniques I have explored thus far.
Not everything I learned and practiced during my years of exploring self-development techniques aligns with God’s principles. Furthermore, none of these practices is a prerequisite or an indispensable step to establishing a personal relationship with Him. On the contrary, these techniques often become obstacles, leading us astray and bringing negative consequences that delay the fullness of love and communion we could already be experiencing.
At the end of 2019, I discovered the existence of Divine Truth, or a path to a personal relationship with God. A new journey began, aligned with this profound search that has always been latent within me—a journey I understand to be accompanied by humility, truth, and transparency, among many other values.
My current focus is to embark on the GREAT EXPERIMENT of cultivating a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe, love my Infinite Father/Mother, and learn to love both with and as Him/Her.
