About

My name is Mauro, I was born in Belém, in the Amazon region of Brazil. At twenty-one, I moved to the United States, which has been my home ever since.

Growing up in a non-practicing Catholic household, I developed a deep curiosity about the spiritual world as a teenager. That curiosity led me to explore religions like Umbanda and Candomblé (African religions), Spiritism, Rosicrucianism, New Age, and Buddhism. I was fascinated by the supernatural, experiencing things that couldn't easily be explained and feeling the presence of spiritual entities.

​

I always said I believed in God, but now I realize I was searching for Him in all the wrong places.

​

I had felt and experienced the spiritual world, so I knew there was something beyond the physical. But when I encountered Jesus, it was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. I felt embraced—loved in a way I’d never experienced. It was like being a small child, safe in the arms of a parent. I couldn’t stop crying tears of joy, and from that moment on, my vision of the world began to change.
