Areas of research

Individual Research Study in Quantum Physics and Metaphysics. A book is in the process to be published. The title of the book is: "Do You Know Who We Are" The manuscript is in revision by Newman Spring Publishing Co.

 My goal in writing this humble and informative pages, is to make you aware of who you are, and realize that everything and anything you’ve learned about life is a concept that can disappear the same very moment that it cames into existence. The universe as we know it, is only a creation of our consciousness. The only tangible concept are our thoughts that lights up as a bright light bulb, whenever we accept them, but they can disappear just at once when we aren’t conscious about it.  The creation of consciousness is like a small light in the horizon that if you are not paying attention, you do not see it and your life will be the same as it had been since you were born, influenced by your surroundings and everyone in your circle, instead of being created by you. 

Humanity and life are not a complicated issue if we follow the Universal law and apply it. But first, since we do not come to this material world with instructions or guidance to complete our mission of life, we need to find the purpose of our terrestrial life deep in ourselves to accomplish our mission.

It is funny, because when you are born, your parents tell you who you are, they give you a name that maybe you don’t like, and during primary and secondary education, your parents, family and friends are still influencing your character and telling you who and what you are to a point that you begin to believe it. Later, when you start to become more independent, you start questioning everything and anything happening in your present journey here on earth. Wow, now you start realizing what are your likes and dislikes. The fact that you are bombarded by all these pressures, there are no room for thoughts and nevertheless time to stand still to find yourself or character that molds you to be who you are and what your life purpose is. Then, later in life you say, hmm, this is not me and all things you are trying to accomplish in life, are either wrong or never realized. 

 

Now, one day you wake up on the right side of your bed and say, in off. I am going to do what feels right, which go along with my personality and purpose in life. Then, from that day on, everything starts going well for you and your family. 

 

The book starts with scientific and non-scientific descriptions and definitions, that are important for you to know to have a basic knowledge that is designed to support the truth of who we really are in what we call life. 

 

No matter who tells you who or what you are in this life, only you know the answer of that truth. You just need to seat down and meditate. By showing love, humility and thankfulness for everything you are and asking what you need to know, you will get the answers you are looking for.

 

Once you discover your purpose in life and stay on that path, everything will come on your way. The universal law will take care of all those things. Just be in the present and be always aware of your I am in the present when asking. Most of all, be thankful for what you have received in the present time. Believe me, everything will fall into place. We can create something from nothing. The only thing you need is to ask in the present, even though has not been yet conceived, be thankful, love, feelings of contentment and believing that what you are asking for, it had been received. Believing without any doubt in your consciousness that what you asked its already yours. 

Let’s start this journey with a warm welcome and do not forget that everything is tailored for you to become more successful and assertive. There is a world to be discovered, waiting for you and if you are willing to explore and discover, you will find what you are looking for.

 

Remember, the possibilities are endlessly, waiting to be discovered. What you must do is to knock at the door, it will be opened as you wish, but you must be the one who must pass through that door. The answers and discoveries in this book are for you and yours only.
