Hello there!

Thank you for visiting and reading my blogs.

My name is Nelson. I have a bachelor’s degree in Civil Eng… Okay… forget it…

From a very young age, around 10 years old, I’ve been fascinated with this thing we call LIFE. My curiosity began when our parents bought a huge, colorful book about world religions, with photos of diverse people. The book was a huge revelation to me. Through this book, I became acquainted not only with Jesus Christ, Prophet Muhammad, Buddha, Shiva, Confucius, Moses, and others, but also with a variety of human cultures and traditions.

As I grew up, the book became my lens for viewing the myriad, colorful expressions of life. It greatly influenced my openness to all spectrums of beliefs and my understanding of spirituality. I became a student of several faith traditions, from East to West, and thereby strengthened my devotion to God. I even left home when I was 25, traveling to a mountain I had never been to before. Equipped with few clothes, a gallon of water, and lots of spiritual books, I vowed to stay in the wild until I attained self-mastery.

To make a long story short… After a week, an inner voice interrupted my deep meditation and urged me to go back and face the world. The message was essentially, “The world is a school. Don’t shun it; learn from it.” The inner voice was very persuasive and persistent; it never stopped. It went on and on for hours, but I didn’t listen. Since I couldn’t concentrate on my meditation, I decided to read a book. To my astonishment, when I opened it, my eyes landed right on sentences that were similar to the message. So, the next morning, I headed back home. From that day on, the world has been teaching me about life.

Over the years, I learned so much that I stopped searching for the truth. I thought I had found it already—until one night in late 2007, when the inner voice returned while I was meditating. It shot an arrow of wisdom, fatally piercing my understanding of God and Life. In that very moment, everything changed.

So now, I am devoted to nothing but the God within… as my true Self.

Nah… scratch that last sentence. I am simply I am.
