Prologue

An Invitation

In deep knowledge lies the key that opens the doors to total fulfillment.

My heart pounded, not with fear but with excitement for what was about to happen—the day had arrived . . .

A colorful walk awaited me as I slowly strolled over countless cobblestones steeped in history. “I’m here.” My mind couldn’t settle down during my walk. Of course, it couldn’t be otherwise, with the Seine’s breeze caressing my face as if confirming that everything I was seeing was real. I was in Paris!

I felt so happy and grateful to the universe, for what I was experiencing was not a mirage. I reached a row of tourists and stood at the back, counting the steps left to enter. Finally, I had before me the majestic cathedral that I had contemplated so many times in photographs, and I was moments away from fulfilling one of the greatest dreams of my childhood—to see Notre Dame.

There I stood before that imposing structure—so sober, so beautiful, so mystical, so absurdly attractive. It had been inviting me for years to witness its power, materialized by subtle forces and ancestral wisdom. Its sculpted façade deserved to be contemplated for a long time. However, the queue moved forward and, in less time than expected, I had already crossed through one of the three magnificent entrance doors.

At that moment I was fully aware of being in a space filled with hidden messages, revealed only to those who know how to perceive beyond the obvious. With my mind and soul ready to listen, my feet advanced over the flagstones of the temple, where time seemed to have stopped. My eyes were enthralled by the grandeur of more than a thousand stained-glass windows, and woven domes that seemed to touch the sky.

I made the tour wrapped in the solemnity of sacred sound. I admired the colorful stained-glass windows, the small sculptures, the delicacy of the art. . . . Suddenly, I arrived at a small enclosure that made me shudder—a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

In the blink of an eye, the image of Mexico’s great mother transported me back to my homeland, and I became once again the innocent neighborhood kid I once was—a seven-year-old boy sifting through magazines and calendars in search of treasures, my hand marking the course of the scissors, enjoying cutting out photographs of the most beautiful palaces and churches in the world.

Back then, I delighted in traveling through my dreams, and to that end I had become an explorer of images that captured my attention. There were many of them, but I primarily chose those for which I felt a special attraction or connection. Whenever I found one, I would carefully cut it out and reverently place it on the walls of my room. I didn’t know it at the time, but that selection of images would mark the spiritual path of my life, and would lead me to find myself in places and countries that at the time seemed unattainable to me.

My parents watched me with a mix of emotion and disbelief. To them, my dreams were just the fantasies of a young boy, innocent illusions that would inevitably crumble when confronted with the harsh realities of life. This was their belief, instilled in them over the years. It seemed simply impossible that a child like me could achieve such distant dreams.

Many people believe that those of us from humble backgrounds, with limited financial resources, cannot achieve great things. But I thought differently. Something inside told me those places I had somehow chosen were waiting for me—among them, the legendary building I was currently exploring. I had envisioned it since childhood, and now, as an adult, that long-held dream was materializing before my eyes.

As I had eagerly read Victor Hugo’s work, I hoped to encounter Quasimodo among the cathedral’s gargoyles, just as vividly portrayed in his timeless novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I recall my childhood as being marked by an insatiable curiosity and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. This is why I adored immersing myself in my grandfather’s books. Expeditions to remote ruins, explorations of castles, enigmatic monuments, ancient civilizations. I would close my eyes and imagine myself traversing these landscapes with utter delight. I could even smell them, feel the wind, envision the trees, and connect with the earth. “I will be there someday,” I would tell myself time and time again, savoring those moments.

“That’s a long way off,” and “getting there costs a fortune,” they would say at home. I would listen in silence as the adults affirmed these things. According to them, we belonged to a world that prevented us from having such expectations. However, a voice within me, a deep-seated force, fought against this idea and opened me up to believing it was indeed possible.

The fact is, like many people, I grew up in a belief system where a great many things were labeled “impossible.” Thus, as a child, I accepted as normal the idea that air travel and exploring castles were unattainable luxuries. We simply couldn’t even afford to dream.

“Don’t get your hopes up, Fer. That’s for others.” But I didn’t stop hoping for the opposite. I had a tremendous curiosity to discover what lay beyond what could be seen. And that drive increased when I started experiencing visions and premonitions.

Discovering this gift in myself was very complex because I had no way of talking about it or developing it without being questioned and judged.

I was raised in a Catholic Christian family, with conservative, very provincial customs, and that environment made it difficult for me to understand and live with my “special” abilities. I received many warnings and scoldings for expressing how I perceived some things, which was in a very unconventional way. Despite everything, I kept my particular perception of the world.

For me, it was common to feel that when something happened there were hidden threads moving to make it happen. That hunch pushed me to explore, to investigate, to read even more.

From an early age, I walked around with a book or a Selecciones magazine (the Mexican version of Reader’s Digest) under my arm. As a teenager, I began to delve into more advanced spiritual topics. My grandfather, being the Mason that he was, had a library with very old tomes related to the esoteric and the mystical. I was captivated by it.

At the age of twelve, I ended up reading a book complex for my age: Reincarnation, by Papus. Upon reaching the last page of this book, my life changed. I understood that behind my apparent social limitations and economic restrictions lay a universe of possibilities that could break through any barrier, no matter how impenetrable it seemed.

At the age of thirteen I began to perform my first conscious visualizations and to formulate decrees, which I now recognize were quite poorly done. My methods were simple, as I was just a beginner, a high-school boy. Fortunately, an unforgettable teacher crossed my path, who would mark a true turning point in my life. It was my Spanish teacher who introduced me to readings that untied the knots of my thinking in relation to chakras, meditation, and mantras.

This teacher, with marked spiritual inclinations, spoke to me about the practice of meditation and the functioning of the universe’s energies. Conversing with him was a tremendous revelation that propelled me and gave me the encouragement to delve deeper into these and other topics related to the forces of the universe. He allowed me to understand that what I sensed indeed existed, and that, in addition, these phenomena had been studied since ancient times.

It was a great relief to know that at least one respectable adult (not a charlatan) was interested in the matters that captivated me. During that period I began to discover that there are invisible links between the world we see and the world of energies, and that those energies intervene in everything we do.

As I grew older it became more difficult for me to coexist with the limiting ideas that had been instilled in me since I was a child. These heavy paradigms suffocated me like a straitjacket and obstructed my personal growth. I realized many approaches were negatively conditioning my thinking and my way of acting, and I wanted to get rid of that. My search led me to discover that the universe was expanding infinitely, far beyond what I had been taught.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity that has remained with me to this day, I embarked on a serious exploration of various topics including alternative healing techniques, the power of meditation, the power of the mind, and the practice of Reiki.

I dedicated myself wholeheartedly, made many sacrifices, and disciplined myself to achieve my goals. I even saved up for months to take classes on universal energy and learn about the chakras. It was all worth it, as I found complete fulfillment and happiness by pursuing this path of knowledge.

Upon turning eighteen, I was summoned by a great spiritual master who invited me to Chiapas to continue my training under his guidance. It was a true honor to become a disciple of this remarkable being, from whom I learned so much and whom I still call Master with respect and admiration to this day.

Around that same time I decided to embark on a teaching journey, as I realized it was time to share my learnings with others who had the same desire to grow and improve their lives. I started with a small group that eventually grew larger. Today, we are thousands walking this path together.

Spiritual teacher Broca presents a set of universal laws to provide self-help and spiritual aid.

The author was born to a Catholic family in Mexico City and, he says, taught not to hope for too much in life. However, as a child, he read constantly and clipped images of the world’s most beautiful places from magazines and calendars. As an adolescent, he became interested in spirituality and encountered different guides on his journey, beginning with a Spanish teacher who taught him about meditation. Broca eventually visited places that he had once only dreamt about, including Vatican City, the Notre-Dame cathedral, and more than 80 other countries. For this book, the author has selected what he characterizes as eight universal laws that “govern the flow, movement, energy, and vibration of everything,” he asserts, and are drawn from a range of disciplines; karma, for example, is a Hindu concept, and the philosophy of wu wei emerged from ancient China. Some other laws will be familiar to readers, such as peace and oneness, but the author asserts that most people don’t fully understand them or how to implement them. Rounding out the list are the principles of dharma, ollin (from shamanism), resonance, and generation. Broca uses simple language and descriptive examples; for instance, he characterizes ollin as an ability to “go with the flow,” and to illustrate a lack of it, he describes a person arriving in snow country wearing summer clothing, such as a T-shirt and flip-flops, and then getting angry at the weather, rather than adapting to it. The author also relatably draws on his own personal experiences, as when he describes an instance of acting childishly during a crisis of faith. He includes self-help practices such as meditations, affirmations, and reflective questions, as well. Broca’s ideas sometimes seem too easy to be very useful, such as advice to wear a ring to remind one to think positively; however, when he notes, in an analogy, how a net in the ocean looks different to a fisherman, a fish, a plankton, and an observant artist, he achieves a lyrical simplicity.

A collection of unadorned but thought-provoking advice.
