New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
During my life, I've often been more of a bench warmer than a figure on the field. One of the reasons is that I've always wanted to relate to a sport. If I was going to put time into getting good—or even okay—at an athletic endeavor, I wanted it to help me express my "real self." I assume that the most successful athletes often feel this way, even if they don't talk about it. Why shouldn't you be spiritually into your sport? I mean, there is only a single Simone Biles or Tom Brady, but you can still do "you." I'd love to see you engage in activities that will aid you in embodying your true self. Personally, I'm firmly committed to my sports, which aren't glamorous: walking ...
During the Covid lockdowns, my garden was my solace. I could go outside and forget the turmoil of the world and relax into nature's gentle rhythm. I soon realised that I wasn't the only one to whom the garden became all important; a vegetable growing forum I belonged to suddenly shot up from a steady 2,000 members to 35,000 in two weeks, and all the garden centres sold out of compost as more and more people took up gardening.

After taking a flight from Lima to the remote village of Puerto Maldanado, we caught a motor boat that took us up the Madre del Dios (Mother of God) River to the Reserve Ecologia de Amazonia, deep within the rainforest of the Amazon. Not only was there no cell phone service, there were very few other guests, as this is the rainy season in Peru and many guests had cancelled their tour due to the worsening Peruvian political crisis. Being in the jungle, one is surrounded by an overwhelming explosion of life. There are tropical birds such as parakeets, macaws, ...
I belong to a family of teachers, farmers, clergymen, and nuns; spiritual and educational pursuits have always been central in my life. I know that I didn't descend into this physical body randomly, and I have always felt this safe balance between the physical and spiritual worlds. I was lucky to be initiated into respectable traditions and to receive full authority in famous traditions. Today, I am using this unique heritage to reveal hidden realities and help everyone improve their hidden abilities. The aura has fascinated me for a very long time. I was raised in a Catholic family, and I can recall countless representations of the Holy Family and saints surrounded by golden halos. The ...
