RUBEN CEDEÑO
Born in Caracas on May 21st, 1952, obtained in Paris the credentials to become a “Citizen of the World”.
STUDENT All of his studies have been channelled towards only the spiritual and culture. With gratitude he owes much of what he knows to the masters that physically guided him, to which he feels special gratitude for life to: Conny Mendez in Caracas from whom he had learnt Metaphysics from during 10 years, since the day he met her to the day she passed away; Krishnamurti who he contacted in India, an event that was to radically transform his life; the founder of the Old Rosacruz in Colombia, Israel Rojas; the founder and director of the Hermetic Society for the World Service in New York and the Dominican Republic; members of The Rosicrucian Fellowship in Oceanside California, where he studied and reached the last grade, the Theosophical Society of Caracas to which he was a member of and became vice-president between 1980-81 and of Adyar in India; the Musical Conservatory of Juan Manuel Olivares from the Education Minister of Venezuela where he graduated as a Performance Professor of Singing and studied with the eminent professors and singers: Carmen Teresa of Hurtado, Aída Navarro and Reina Calanche; Kodaly Institute of Hungry where he coursed in Musical Pedagogy, and in Santiago of Compostela where he specialized in interpretation of Spanish lyrical singing with the famous soprano Maria Oran; Lucy Litlejhon who was the last of the directors of the Bridge to Freedom of Long Island. He does not consider himself as an accepted student of any Ascended Master and he has never protected himself under their names to claim authority in what he transmits or does.
TEACHER whose only interests in life is that everyone else learn the eternal wisdom, spiritual and culture; specialized in modern methods of Pedagogy like Martenot y Kodaly; because of his technical knowledge of musical application for children he was the “National Chief of Musical Programs in the National Institute for Minors of Venezuela” during 14 years, Theory and Solfa Professor in the Musical Conservatorium of Maracay and Juan Manuel Olivares, Singing and Historical Music Professor. He has formed a plague of Metaphysical instructors in both America and Europe. He has no disciples or followers of any kind, he has always been a “master of the poor,” since he initiates in the Teaching to people who have never received any classes or any type of information and do not belonged to any spiritual group, strictly maintaining respect for students of any other group, this is why he has never been accused of stealing students from anyone.
METAPHYSICAL, student of this subject, he does not consider himself as spiritual, initiate, nor with any kind of mission, belonging to a mystical path, nor the continuation of anybody else’s work, but has dedicated all of his life to the study, practice and diffusion of these Teachings since the age of Seventeen, a task which he continues to do in writing and giving out conferences.
