Hi, I’m Gilberto Torres A. I’m from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
I come from a low-income family, I was born in a humble room in my grandmother’s house, my 18-year-old mother and in labor she gave birth to me with a 12-year-old neighbor girl who received me when I was born because my mother did not I had to go to a hospital and at the time I was born I was alone with this 12-year-old girl on December 12, 1961 at 12 in the morning.
When I was born my mother became a single mother when she brought me into the world, and typical of these places she had to work hard to survive, and later with time she started a family and had 8 children including me. I come from a traditional Catholic family as is common here in Mexico, and I was a student who always wanted to know why of all things, I had in mind to be a great Engineer and have achievements and recognition for what the world offered as a image of success and prosperity.
And with that goal I was very focused on achieving it, I studied in 2 schools at the same time and worked as long as I could, I wanted to know more to achieve my goal, I finished High School and technical studies in electronics and entered the University at 19 years old …. and this was where something happened to me that made me turn my life 180 degrees….
Something happened in my head that caused a short circuit and everything fell apart… my goals, the purpose of what I was doing, everything stopped being important to me… my family, friends, everything, nothing made sense anymore for me, it was as if I woke up for the first time and saw that nothing I did with my life had any common sense… and with this feeling of existential emptiness came a physical and emotional imbalance,… they gave me like electrical attacks because my whole body I was trembling, absolutely my whole body… I could see my skin as it moved and it trembled in every centimeter throughout the skin of the body, and I felt lost and alone in this world that I was recognizing for the first time… I must clarify that I did not smoke, no I did not drink alcohol or drugs, I had a controlled life without any excess that took me out of my balance,I just studied and wanted to know more, always more.
And with this panorama began my awakening to seek the truth of all this that we all live, and we do not realize it and we walk like zombies in life without knowing why we are here … and what to do to recover that consciousness that makes us be what we really are.
Then, at the age of 19, I fell ill with the Soul or as everyone calls it, being, etc., and then my parents took me to the psychiatrists so that they could help me… not to say much about this, I got worse with the medications and drugs that the doctors gave me and I felt that I was sinking more and more into despair and I asked my parents to get me out of the hospital and take me home, it was a long and difficult process to make that decision but it was done like this…. at home it got worse too and that was when I asked some external force to help me because I didn’t believe much in any god it was more about common sense and science that could be verified, then in December 1980 I went up to the roof of 2 floors of my house,I have made my first prayer to something superior that could help me… I asked with all my being and mind… and an answer came, a peace that filled my whole body as if warm water fell on my head and penetrated in the depths of my being and gave me a peace that I had never experienced and made me feel that everything would be fine… that everything was going to happen so that I would know the truth of all things and the peace that I needed would come to my being.
To make a long story short, that “certainty” made me go exclusively to look for Mormons, not another religion but Mormons because I knew within myself that it was the way to look… I went straight to a chapel and asked to be a member and be baptized. I knew that they had a book and that that book would tell me what to look for, they gave me the Book of Mormon and within days of having the book and reading it I began to tell people that the sealed part was what they had to look for, that it was already coming… and he said it with such certainty that the church authorities had to reprimand me for what he said.
I had already left the University because throughout this process I knew that the knowledge of the world was not what filled me, I left my dreams of being an Engineer and all the image that I wanted to obtain with it and I only wanted to live with the most basic things that I could need, I no longer I called money as something that was important in my life, I would only use it as something transitory, I looked for a girl without many pretensions and I got married, to live the simplest and most basic thing that I could do and I started having children and I lived every day with the most basic that I was needing…. I lived as humble as I could and did not seek the image of the world, I felt that in the depths of my being, I was always against the current, with relatives, schools, government and society in short with the world and that made me be only with respect to the world.
And time passed and I waited for answers that I knew had to come and here was the first contact that came to me but I did not understand, I had to have a lot of patience, that contact was that some writings came to me with the name of “El Hermano of Jared” that Christopher had written for a fundamentalist group that he explained to us in his biography, this was the first knowledge that something was there but it was very unfinished and therefore there were no concrete answers in these documents… they ended up unfinished, but something He told me that there was a truth behind all this and I had to find it…, I did not find Christopher obvious for clear reasons, so it was in this uncertainty that I decided to make a change in my life and carry a principle that “polygamy” believed to be sacred… .It was very difficult to search for this alone but my wife and I did it with a woman who entered our marriage union.
With the hope that the Sealed Part was about to arrive, I began to live polygamy, as was my surprise when the Sealed Part finally took place and I met Christopher by mail in 2005, he advised us and listened to the situation we were in living. There are many things that have happened in my life that this work of our advanced beings has been teaching me, it is like eternal water that is filling my being and everyone’s, I have 4 big children and 3 small children with the women who entered in my life and they and my children continue the Work and the work that through Cristhopher the Father is doing. My life has changed drastically but without this knowledge I don’t know what would have become of us. I am very identified with the work and the message, I have been removing my ego since I was young, as I explained earlier, I am always working to get rid of poverty in my environment and to have something to be able to do for others, now I am looking to have the means and influence to be able to give and contribute with what I know, I am doing a technological project to help and give equality to those who do not have, I am in that process of having to give and serve others. Christopher, thanks for being who you are. I know I’ve always known you. I’ve been with you since the brothers and you put up the website, and long before…. I have not been someone who makes myself known or gives my opinion to others but I have always been quiet, listening and learning and also in another language…thank you eternally, where would we go without the true messengers… now I am looking to have the means and influence to be able to give and contribute with what I know, I am doing a technological project to help and give equality to those who do not have, I am in the process of having to give and serve others.
