The story of my life is nothing more than a long journey, from what I believed myself to be to what I truly am. It is a tale of transcending the personal and the universal, the partial and the total, the illusory and the real, the apparent and the true. My life is a flight beyond the temporal and the eternal, darkness and light, the human and the divine. This story is not public but profoundly private and intimate.

Only what begins, ends; only what starts, finishes. One who lives in the present is neither born nor dies, because what lacks a beginning never ends.

I am the disciple of a seer, an enlightened being, somebody who is nobody. I was initiated in my spiritual childhood by the moonlight. A seagull who loved flying more than anything else in life inspired me. In love with the impossible, I crossed the universe obsessed with a star. I have walked infinite paths, following the footsteps of those who saw.

Like the ocean that longs for water, I sought my home within my own house.

If we think about a large oak tree, we suppose it has well developed roots. If it had the roots of a small plant, it would succumb to the first autumn breeze. Though concealed, the roots are vital to keeping the oak upright.

I still remember when my family emigrated from Chile, our homeland. My father used to say that when a sapling is transplanted, it adapts relatively easily, whereas for an old tree like him, it was extremely difficult to be surrounded by a new language and culture. This comparison between a person and a tree stuck with me: just as a tree's roots are proportional to its size, the depth of our internal development is proportional to our spiritual height. We flourish insofar as we are able to take root in the depths of existence. The deeper we go inward, the higher we rise. The sky is not reached by flying, but by digging into our depths.

Growing taller is nothing but an increase in size. We can grow upward, but we only mature inward. Evolution does not happen on the surface. Only as we make our way into our depths do we discover our eternity.

Kundalini yoga is a yogic path that stimulates the conscious awakening of kundalini-sakti, or "coiled energy." This energy is the transcendental consciousness; it is the creative power of God, and therefore, the creative potential in the human being.
