Roberto Kastner

Roberto was born in Chile; when he was 17 he began to study Chemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Chile. When he was 18 switched to Engineering at the same university, and during the second year of his career continued his studies with a grant from Ben Gurion University in Israel where he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering (B.Sc.E.E., specialization in electro optics).

He worked for the national telecommunications company (PTT) as a systems engineer for long distance covered wave telephone systems and then later returned to Ben Gurion University and continued his studies, graduating with a Masters degree in Management and Industrial Administration (M.Sc.I.A) from the Faculty of Industrial Engineering. At the same time he worked in I+D for Ben Gurion University (R&D Authority) on converting solar energy to electricity by means of photovoltaic cells  in order to later

teach as the chair of the electronics department at the Practical Engineering College at Ben Gurion University for two years.

Immediately after graduating, he left his post to work in industry for an Israeli company, a subsidiary of the American multinational GTE, where he began as an project engineer and climbing up the corporate ladder successively passed through posts such as Project Manager and Manager of International Sales up to Managing Director of operations for the company in Spain and Portugal, moving to Spain in 1985 and settling down there hasta la fecha.

Alter working for several years for the Israelí company he started his own business and consultancy in the filed of electronics.

As a result of his father becoming sick, he entered the field of healing with energy and the spiritual path. Before that he practiced martial arts and also Hatha Yoga through with he was familiar with energy, or Chi, which was used principally in the martial arts in which he trained for several years with a Japanese master, which also led him to train with other masters in various parts of Japan.

At the root of his father’s illness, he began to experiment with Chi for therapeutic purposes and as a result of a series of internal experiments he began to dedicate himself to his own spiritual development. All this together led him to enter with force the field of energy therapy and completely stop his other activities as managing director and consultant, and in 1992 he created his own therapy center in Madrid, the “Integral Therapy Center (CTI)” where he is still working. During this period of time, more than 3,000 people have passed through CTI.

Experimenting with healing power, he developed his own method of healing and he began to share it by teaching courses in Spain and abroad (Europe and Latin America) beginning in 1993. Hundreds of students have received this knowledge which represents hi own path of development as a healer, but in a condensed way and presented in the form of a course: “Cosmic Energy Applied to Healing and Contact with the Inner Self”.

At the same time he was in contact with varias methods of healing, becoming a master of Reiki, an advanced Pránico healer (a method developed by Choa Kok Sui who, invited to Spain by CTI, also came to teach students at the center), Magnetic healer AMA (a method developed by Alex Orbito), flower essence therapy (Bach and others), and spiritual faith healer with boiling oil.

In addition to developing his work as a healer, and a few months after having begun to train in healing with energy, consciously looking for a true spiritual master who could guide him in his spiritual search, he found the School of Self-Realization “Golden Ray - Master José” and after awhile working with spiritual practices such as meditation and others, he gave himself the gift of converting himself into a mystic therapist, developing his abilities for years – and continuing to develop them to this very day.

He shared his spiritual work for free guiding meditation and mystical therapy groups open to the general public in the meditation hall at several times a week from 1992 to 1998 and created a non-profit association for development and spiritual healing (ADSE). He was president for 5 years and then he quit his job and continued working in private practice.
