“WHO OM I” – BaBa DaDo

OM-symbol of unity, creation, and the divine presence

Everything begins and ends with OM, me

I OM you, you are me we are ONE, multidimensional beings

In the name of love and compassion, let us open our hearts to one another and allow the gentle force of kindness to construct a bridge between our spirits. If you would be so gracious as to lend me your heart for a moment, I would like to share a brief account of my personal journey through this existence.

My wisdom had been channeled from many sources over the entirety of my existence. My journey in this life and the gifts cosmically bestowed upon me have created this path that I now walk.

In moments of healing and in chance encounters on this earthly plane, “I OM” is often met with the inquiry, “From whence do you come?” With a serene smile, I respond, “I come from the loving embrace of Mother Earth, as we all do.” However, as I observe the reactions of those around me, I cannot help but recognize the depth of the illusion that binds so many souls, compelling them to pass judgment and to create divisions that set one individual apart from another. The cycle of comparison and judgment fuels the need for healing and fosters a sense of separation from their true essence, their ego, and their minds.

I bear witness to the yearning for connection and the desire to transcend the illusions that shroud our perception. In this shared journey of spiritual awakening, may we find the courage to break free from the chains of illusion and embrace the unity of all souls as we traverse this wondrous path of life.

“IN THE NAME OF LOVE AND COMPASSION, LET US OPEN OUR HEARTS TO ONE ANOTHER AND ALLOW THE GENTLE FORCE OF KINDNESS TO CONSTRUCT A BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR SPIRITS.”

DaDo meaning: One who brings the peace.

The name given to me is just one of the many labels that society, religion, and social programming bestow upon us, often accompanied by a set of expectations and consequences for non-compliance. It seems that from the moment we enter this earthly realm, we are ingrained with a self-destructive mechanism, which we commonly refer to as “fear.” This fear serves as a barrier, obscuring the true nature of reality and preventing us from seeing it for what it truly is—an illusion. It acts as a veil, often keeping us from recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and the underlying unity that binds us together. Overcoming this fear and peeling back the layers of illusion is a central tenet of many spiritual paths, as it allows us to connect with our true selves and perceive the world from a place of clarity and understanding. When we can transcend fear and illusion, we open ourselves to a deeper understanding of existence and our place within it, leading to greater peace, compassion, and harmony with the world around us.

Who is DaDo? The appellation was lovingly bestowed upon me by my parents during the gentle embrace of spring in the year 1971. From the earliest days of my existence, I have been diligently constructing my inner sanctum, a temple of tranquility and spiritual fortitude. Throughout my journey, forces have sought to diminish my power, attempting to mold and shape me through various forms of influence, whether through literature, education, or unjust criticism aimed at distorting my true essence.

However, my intuitive parents imparted upon me the profound wisdom of claiming ownership of my true self. In this understanding, I have come to realize that DaDo is not a separate entity, for the concept of “I” is merely an illusory construct. Instead, “I OM”one with the infinite, a harmonious fusion of mind, heart, and soul. My innate gifts are a divine blessing, and my intuitive and psychic abilities serve as guiding lights to illuminate the path ahead.

As a spiritual seeker, “I OM” wholeheartedly dedicated to the sacred mission of Mother Ayahuasca, embracing her planetary cause with unwavering devotion. Like many others who have chosen to walk this path of truth, I consider myself a guardian, committed to receiving Ayahuasca in a venerable role, ensuring the preservation of her sacred mission before the misguided actions of those driven by ego seek to undermine and harm her planetary purpose. In this role, I stand as a protector, embracing the responsibility to safeguard the sanctity of Ayahuasca’s profound and transformative mission for the betterment of all.

I AM A PROTECTOR OF AYAHUASCA, ENTRUSTED WITH PRESERVING HER SACRED PURPOSE FROM THOSE MOTIVATED BY EGO WHO MAY SEEK TO UNDERMINE OR HARM IT.

Enveloped in the profound teachings of a plant mentor, “I OM” graced with the profound abilities and wisdom of the plant spirits, empowering me to share their sacred gifts with the souls in need of healing that encircle me. Together, we traverse through the boundless expanses of consciousness, resonating on harmonious frequencies as we journey through the intricate dimensions of existence – the fourth, the fifth, the seventh – united in purpose and imbued with the transformative energies of the cosmos.

Innumerable souls yearn for profound healing and enlightenment, their spirits longing to be uplifted and restored. Each time “I OM” blessed with the ability to guide a soul toward deep healing, “I OM” filled with profound gratitude and humility. It is a sacred honor, a testament to the unity and interconnectedness of all beings, to be entrusted with the task of facilitating the spiritual growth and well-being of others.

In my pursuit of spiritual truth, I eschew self-promotion and resist the allure of social media, recognizing that such platforms often serve as breeding grounds for the ego’s desire for control and recognition. I refrain from embellishing myself with ostentatious displays or positioning myself as a figure of authority in exchange for personal gain. Instead, I seek to embody authenticity and humility, knowing that the true path to spiritual fulfillment lies in selfless service and genuine connection with others.

“I OM” is a steadfast advocate for the authenticity of the self, encouraging others to embrace their true nature and walk their own unique path. The journey to self-discovery is a profound and often challenging undertaking, but in doing so, we come to realize that we are all divine children of God, each a precious and irreplaceable gift to this world, inherently beautiful just as we are. It is in this realization that we find our true purpose and our inherent connection to the boundless love and wisdom of the universe.

EMBRACE BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF AND STAYING HUMBLE, BECAUSE FINDING SPIRITUAL FULFILLMENT COMES FROM SELFLESSLY SERVING OTHERS AND FORMING GENUINE CONNECTIONS WITH THEM.

In the sacred stillness of my being, I release the need to chase after external achievements, understanding that true success flows effortlessly when I align with the divine rhythm of the universe. Through the practice of meditation, I journey inward, immersing myself in the boundless love and wisdom that emanates from the core of existence. Here, “I OM” cradled by the gentle embrace of the divine, and the universe itself becomes my guiding teacher, imparting profound knowledge and enveloping me in a tranquil sea of love and peace, one gentle wave at a time.

In the sanctuary of my heart, there resides not a trace of animosity or resentment, for I have cultivated a boundless capacity for forgiveness and understanding. Even in the midst of turmoil, I seek to find common ground with others, recognizing that each soul carries its own unique truth and perspective. I extend my heart’s embrace to all, acknowledging the diverse experiences and challenges that each individual navigates on their path through this wondrous tapestry of existence.

“TRUST IN THE UNFOLDING OF THE GRAND DESIGN, AND HEED THE WHISPERS OF YOUR INTUITION AND THE GENTLE NUDGES OF YOUR HEART.”

As I traverse the myriad landscapes of this world, I have been gifted with the opportunity to immerse myself in the beauty and diversity of countless cultures. Along the way, I have encountered the pervasive force of propaganda, a phenomenon that can insidiously infiltrate one’s consciousness like a venomous virus, corroding the very essence of the mind and spirit.

Throughout my journey, I have also faced the shadow of mortality on numerous occasions, perhaps most notably in 1992 when I miraculously survived execution. I firmly believe that I was spared by a higher, unseen force, and this profound experience has deepened my connection to the spiritual realm. It has opened my senses to the whispers of the spirits and heightened my ability to perceive and understand the energy of others, making it an integral part of my daily existence.

What initially began as a bewildering cacophony of voices became a transformative journey, guided by the profound wisdom of Ayahuasca. Through this sacred guidance, my once tumultuous path blossomed into a source of profound enlightenment, allowing me to become a guiding light for those dear to me as they navigate their own dark and solitary passages.

Delving deep into the realm of metaphysics, I have learned to communicate in the language of nature, recognizing it as a boundless library of healing knowledge. Furthermore, I have come to appreciate the intrinsic significance of numbers, viewing them as a fundamental part of the universe’s intricate design and as a language through which extraterrestrial forces may communicate.

In addition to these spiritual awakenings, I have been inspired to contribute to the material world through the creation of multiple patents, and two books. These divine channeled messages and creations stand as a testament to the convergence of spirituality and innovation, demonstrating the power of profound gratitude and the unwavering belief in the interconnectedness of the Universe, the Akashic records, and the beautiful souls who have supported and empowered me in bringing these endeavors to fruition.

THE PATH OF SPIRITUALITY LEADS US THROUGH A TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, FROM IGNORANCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT, AND FROM FEAR TO LOVE.

With the blessings of the universe, I find myself often approached with inquiries about the unfolding of time, yet my heart is drawn to unveiling the priceless treasures concealed within each soul, treasures that transcend the limitations of mere material wealth. The tale I share is not crafted with the intention of seeking prominence or acclaim, but rather as a testament to the existence of a luminous pathway that leads us to the boundless reservoir of true knowledge and understanding. There exists a realm beyond the immediate perception of our senses, where the profound mysteries of existence await exploration, beckoning us to delve deeper into the vast, unseen dimensions of life.

GENUINE WEALTH ISN’T FOUND IN OWNING THINGS, BUT IN THE INVALUABLE TREASURES THAT RESIDE WITHIN EACH PERSON—A TRUTH THAT GOES BEYOND MERE MONETARY WORTH.
