Julio’s Vision
To be an online and personal resource to those that truly want to experience the Kingdom of God within themselves just like Jesus experienced it as a human being as well as countless others found in the Bible. Julio also envisions partnering with churches and other spiritual environments in seminar and conference settings to provide this level of teaching that unfortunately is not currently being offered in these environments.
Julio’s Purpose
Julio’s primary gift to the body of Christ is to function as a teacher. Julio is called to encourage and educate the believer to have a true Kingdom of God mindset and lifestyle that transcends traditional religious teaching that guides the believer back to their original place and Source where they were originally created before the foundations of the world, which is the Mind of God. This is the place where they were perfect (mature) and equipped in all of their ways to fulfill the plans and purposes for which they are present on the earth to do according to the book that is written about their life. (Ephesians 1:3-6. 2:10 & Psalms 139:13-16)
Julio’s Mission and Purpose for this website
To maximize our life’s existence, the most important thing we must master is to learn to hear from God every day of our lives. We master this ability by having a meditative mindset that is purposed to experience the Mind of God within our own minds.
In the Gospel accounts, Jesus is said to rise from sleep hours before His disciples so He could go into a quiet place. If Jesus believed in not repeating vain prayers and keeping spoken prayers short, what would He be doing for hours on end, or even days on end, such as when He went into the wilderness for 40 days? In retreating to these places for long hours of solitude, Jesus was engaged in what we would call “meditation.” He was spending time being with God, listening to God, and learning from God. In short, Jesus meditated. Jesus stilled His mind to enter a state of complete God-consciousness.
To preach something is to announce that something is available to experience. Today, countless people are preaching about the kingdom of God. But we need these people to teach us how to experience the kingdom of God that is inherent within our souls through what Jesus referred to as “key of knowledge” (Luke 11:52) type of instruction that was evidently missing from the religious institutions of His day and that is unfortunately still missing today in much of today’s traditional Christianity. We need to understand it and experience it at the same level that Jesus experienced it every day of His human life.
The kingdom of God within has, for centuries, been shrouded in the veils of flawed understanding. Unfortunately, the mystery of the kingdom of God within has either been ignored altogether or redefined and misappropriated in ways that have neutered it of its significance.
One of the most significant needs of our time is for people to have an intimate, personal relationship with their Creator – God. More than ever, there is a need for believers to learn about God directly from Him through the avenue of the Kingdom of God within. Our spiritual journey may begin with us learning about God and the Bible from other humans, yet at some point, there should be what I call “the transfer of teachers” where we experience a shift in the way we learn.
This transfer is where we make the shift from learning through instructors God has placed on the earth to learning directly from God as our Spiritual Instructor within our souls through the mental discipline and practice of meditation.
The purpose of my website, books, and other teaching resources is to provide vital knowledge and the practical steps in order to directly learn from the Spirit of God that is unfortunately not offered in much of today’s traditional Christianity.

Julio has overcome drug addiction, alcoholism, financial ruin, divorce, suicidal tendencies, depression, and other negative lifestyle issues. In February of 2006 after being a Christian for over 15 years, Julio experienced an aggressive and unique encounter with God that revealed that he was simply a traditionally religious man that was deficient in the areas of being a good husband to his wife, father to his children as well as an underachieving son to God.
These revelations birthed a hunger and seek level for God that went beyond traditional religious means that changed the direction of his life causing him to pursue a true Kingdom mindset that contained a more accurate truth and equipping of whom God predestined him to be that has completely transformed his life. These vital discoveries have resulted in Julio discovering one of the main streams of his purpose which is to help others discover what he calls “The Real You” that goes above and beyond traditional forms of teaching which attempt to build the person from the outside in as opposed to God’s original personal growth and development plan which is to build one’s life from the inside out.
