Growing up, I was surrounded by innovative educational environments, attending schools with experimental projects. Simultaneously, within the church community, I delved into profound teachings of Liberation Theology, a doctrine embraced by our pastor, Reverend Oswaldo Alves. A multifaceted individual, he was not only a theologian but also a psychologist and scholar of parapsychology. Through his sermons and Sunday School classes, I gleaned insights into philosophy and the evolution of human consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the age of fifteen, I began to distance myself from the Church, immersing myself in the studies of Carl Jung, which satisfied my thirst for understanding human nature. Utilizing the I Ching, traditionally a tool for meditation, I started analyzing people, offering insights into their dilemmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a young age, psychology held a strong allure for me. However, as I delved deeper into analytical psychology, I found the behaviorist model prevailing in universities at the time uninspiring. Thus, I turned my attention to the issues facing Brazil, leading me to focus on education. I pursued pedagogy, graduating from PUC-SP. The foundation of the program was Piaget&#8217;s theory of cognitive development, which complemented my studies in Jungian psychology and Rudolf Steiner&#8217;s Waldorf Pedagogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concurrently, I delved into the realm of symbology, exploring astrology, palmistry, mythology, and various occult disciplines. At the age of 18, I acquired my first Tarot book, even though I didn&#8217;t have a deck initially. Undeterred, I improvised one and began delving into its mysteries. My bond with Tarot deepened when I acquired my first deck at the Book Biennial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pivotal moment occurred at the age of 21 when, after grappling with intense and somber readings, I stumbled upon a store offering a variety of Tarot decks. Opting for the Egyptian deck due to its perceived antiquity and its mythological ties to the Greco-Roman roots of the Tarot de Marseille, I was surprised by my ability to interpret it intuitively, without guidance, delivering messages of positivity and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My professional journey took flight at 23, yet the emotionally charged nature of assisting individuals in crisis began to take its toll. It was during this period that I encountered Dr. Eliezer Mendes and his theories on mediumship and psychiatric conditions. Under his mentorship, I honed my sensitivity and embarked on a deeper exploration of the human psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presently residing in California, I dedicate myself to studying altered states of consciousness, providing consultations, and delivering lectures. With a record of over 16,000 consultations and numerous publications in esteemed Brazilian media outlets, my expertise in the field has been recognized. Notably, my accurate prediction about Franco Montoro&#8217;s victory as governor was featured in the inserts of Nova and Quatro Rodas magazines in 1982, showcasing the depth of my insights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was born under the sign of Aquarius, into a Protestant family in S\u00e3o Paulo.
