I am a Child of the Light.
I am thankful for this Life and all that it teaches me.
I am a vessel for change via service and the unfolding of consciousness.
I believe in the non-linearity of cause and effect and being conscious of the choices I seize and cease to make.
I am an apprentice to Dr. Claudia Romero and I am forever thankful for her love, patience, teachings, and healing.
I've been lucky to
start tapping into MySelf and (among other things) have been guided to
express it through photography, music, mandala-making, and digital
arts. I've not taken formal classes, in the waking world during this
lifetime, on any of the aforementioned things.
My formal academic
studies have been mainly in Psychology (Intec Universtiy, graduated in
'02),
Gender and Development (Intec '04), and Sociology (UIC - still biting
the bullet). I also did a 2 year program on Method Acting in the
National School of Fine Arts, Santo Domingo (graduated in '04). I
believe in the transformational and emancipatory potential of the
social sciences when expressed and communicated in a holistic manner -
not only through intellectual debate and criticism, but also through
actions, emotions, and collective engagement. Theater is at times very suitable for this.
Outside academia I
study, experience, and practice different modalities of healing.
I was born and
raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with the Sun in my twelfth
house, under the sign of Cancer. Cancer is my ascendant as well.
Borderline INFJ and INTJ (50-50 split between the F and the T... I like
the F better, but hey, it's a tough world some times).
Moon
is in Leo and I was astonished when becoming aware that my dear
spiritual teacher's Sun is in Leo as well. I have a bunch of planets in
Earth signs, and that's as much as you'll get for now.
My
dad is a Virgo (and my Saturn is in Virgo) and he's the embodiment of
honesty, hard work, and caring in an electro-mechanic engineer.
My mom is the embodiment of finding the way to get things done and have
everybody win, and learn; she studied electro-mechanic engineering as
well, but she's more of a New Agie from my point of view. She's a
Scorpio.
At 15
I took Omraam's Book of Divine Magic from her quarters and climbed my
way to a retreat, in the rooftop of the house, in order to practice it.
I experience and practice Omraam's teachings to this very day, though
not only on the rooftops.
My dear brother Noel
(Aries) is the spark that nobody can put down or contain - he will
always find the creative way. He's a self-taught multi-instrumentalist
and producer, and keeps inspiring me to do something with my music. He's also an industrial designer in the making.
Sister
Nana (Leo) is one of the smartest, most organized, and noble persons
I've had the privilege of knowing well enough to actually be sure that
she is really as smart and noble as she initially comes off. The
organization part may get a bit idiosyncratic from up close... love you
anyway my dear sis!
Sister
Sarah is my sidekick, admiration, and consolation - she's currently
doing like a triple major combining things like Economics,
International Relations, Performing Arts, Ballet, United Nations
models, caring for fish, and a bunch of other things.
I've
had different shells for outfits and enjoy molting and breaking
through, while at the same time learning, sharing and nurturing myself
and those around.
I
am fascinated by life, kindness, solidarity, space, intuition, Sacred
Geometry, stars, introspection, crystals, spontaneous knowing,
rigorousness, mandalas, visionary art from different cultures, Angels,
Ascended and incarnate Masters, flowers, heliotrophy, mysticism,
cognition, vegetarian lasagna, understanding social structures and the
way they shape reality, evolution, oracles, communication, perception,
my friends lavender, rosemary, borrage and calendula, equality, Elves,
pastelón de plátano maduro, divination, environmentalism, sustainable
development, Solar systems, social movements, holistic health, Bahía de
las Aguilas, expression, vastness, juice extractors, the ocean,
camping, tayota rellena, inclusion, micro / macro / relative and
quantum cosmos, my love Lu, my dear teachers time and space and disease
and health, as well as the human experience, my dear Doc, Omraam,
Krishnamurti, and Metatron.
I
strongly prefer to avoid tomatoes, impositions, indifference, dogma,
hurting other life forms, television, food that is too spicy (in the
picante sense), alcohol, religion, soda, and eating human, cow, goat,
pig, dog and other types of meat. I do confront cruelty,
anthropocentrism, Western-centrism, androcentrism, adultcentrism,
autoritarianism, intellect-centrism, positivism and heteronormativity
whenever possible - yet I write this in English and my native tongue is
Dominican Spanish.
