Hi, my name is Robert. robertico is my original nick. The picture in my avatar is my ex-wife's three month old baby boy. We got divorced many years ago and have a daughter, Sophia, already in college. The baby's name is Gabriel Sebastian, like the Great Archangel and the Saint. When he was born he had many problems. In his first month he underwent two operations, but thanks to the thousands of prayers from people all over the world he made it and he is now doing very well. I am retired and I just spend my time studying Chinese, Tao, translating Tao sutras or hanging out here at the forum. Actually I’m logged to the forum while doing other things too. My grammar is very poor, I write by ear, the way I play the piano. I used to be a yoga teacher for two different organizations, Sivananda and The Universal Great Brotherhood. I played chess for thirty years and used to teach privately but I gave it up for a spiritual pursuit and I haven’t played now for more than ten years. My life’s dream is to establish a Tao Temple in the mountains of Ecuador, where I could also teach people some Yoga and the kids chess. Sometimes I lecture the Spanish and English congregations at our Temple in Flushing, New York. About two months ago the Chinese people there took me to Dominican Republic to teach people the Tao. This is part of my dream, it is just the beginning. I don’t worry too much about the future, I just keep preparing myself for the next calling.
