I was born in Patillas, Puerto Rico, USA. I graduated from High School in 1964. I have a B.A. and an M.A. both in the Humanities from the University of Puerto Rico. From a very early age I have been interested in religion, particularly in mysticism. I have studied Yoga, Vedanta, Zen and other contemplative traditions. I am the keeper of a small shrine called the Morivivi Hermitage which is dedicated to the contemplative life in the world. I have know the U.L.C. since the 1970's.
