I have written and published over 200 Kindle books in different niches in Amazon under my name and around 50 more under different pen names, both in English and Spanish.

I am the editor of the online publishing company "Ediciones De La Parra" and want to expand my book distribution and sales thanks to the translation service and royalty-share system offered by Babelcube.

As  an experienced journalist and author with a lifelong interest in meditation techniques and the Comparative Study of Religion, I wrote THE SECRET OF NOW SERIES under the pen name A. J. PARR. 

MY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE:

When I was 17 years old (I am presently 60) I received my first Hindu initiation at the Mission of the Divine Light, founded by Guru Maharaj Ji (presently known as Prem Rawat or Maharaji). His fundamental teachings or “Knowledge,” based on ancient Hinduism and Buddhism, included four meditation techniques (Divine Light, Inner Music, Word, and Nectar) to help us stop the mind and free ourselves from Illusion.

I was 30 when I received my second Hindu initiation and meditation technique, this time from a disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918-2008), creator of Transcendental Meditation or TM.

Maharishi´s “mantra meditation” technique was practiced, among others, by the Beatles, Mia Farrow, Shirley MacLaine, Donovan, and also Deepak Chopra, who worked side by side with Maharishi before starting his own career a spiritual guide. And, according to him, he still practices it and widely recommends it for attaining inner peace and spiritual progress.

I was 37when I received my third initiation and meditation technique. This time from a disciple of guru Sant Thakar Singh (1929–2005) of the Sant Mat tradition, which is also known as “The Path of Saints.” The Indian poet and saint Kabir (1440–1518) belonged to the first generation of Sant Mat, which is derived from Hinduism and influenced by Sikhism.

I was also a Freemason for three years (1987-1990) and around fifteen years ago, while studying “A Course in Miracles,” I became acquainted with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, which I have practiced since then and more recently gave birth to “The Secret of Now Series”:
