curiosity and I asked him: José, why did you sometimes seem so skeptical
when we talked about spiritualism, Santeria and other practices? I was

time when more people will be open and receptive to the knowledge
imparted in these pages. We have come a long way as a race in

deny the belief in the afterlife or in a Supreme Being. We don't have to
choose between one or the other, between God and science. We are blessed to
