  • My name is Eli, and I'm a 30-year-old from Montreal, Quebec. I was born to immigrant parents who moved from the Soviet Union to Israel before settling in Montreal, where I was raised in a religious Chabad Lubavitch home. Growing up, I attended private Jewish schools until college, where I earned a bachelor's degree in finance.

  • From a young age, I was captivated by the mystical stories in the Bible—the dreams of Joseph, Moses' encounter with God through the burning bush, and others that seemed to have a touch of magic. I found myself constantly wondering about the nature of God. Who is He? Why can’t we see Him anymore? How do we communicate with Him?

    Much of this curiosity was sparked by my father, who had a deep appreciation for spiritual figures—holy men believed to be closer to God. Visiting them or their tombs filled me with curiosity and a desire to connect with God directly, often prompting me to analyze my dreams or find meaning in synchronistic events.

  • As I grew older, my spiritual curiosity expanded beyond my upbringing. In college, I took Christian studies classes and explored stories from Christianity, like Jesus shining divine light upon his apostles. These stories deepened my fascination, leading me to ask: What is this light?

  • In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I began to receive answers—or at least some direction. I experienced my first psychedelic ceremony, which opened my mind to new perspectives.

    In my first session, I found a profound stillness within myself, awakening in a world where everything felt alive, even the wind. The sun shined on my face, and I felt the presence of an all-encompassing love and acceptance.

    This experience transformed my view of God from a punishing figure to an essence of pure, childlike love where rules and punishment did not exist—only acceptance.

  • This revelation guided me toward new teachers like Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Tara Brach, Michael Singer, Sunny Sharma, and Ramana Maharshi. Each offered unique insights, all pointing to the same truth.

    As I continued to experience life, their teachings began to naturally resonate with me, showing me that understanding comes not just from reading or watching but from experiencing it firsthand.

  • I’m not a traditional teacher. I’m just someone who’s been where you might be right now—curious, unsure, and looking for something real.

    I’m here to share what helped me, in case it helps you too.

Work and Growth Projects

I currently work at company in Miami, FL, where I focus on data analysis and strategic advising. I enjoy learning new things and tackling different problems, like when I recently figured out a budgeting method that has helped me effectively manage my finances.

My latest project is figuring out how to manage my weight—I’ve gained about 10 lbs over the past few months, and I’m experimenting with tracking my calorie intake and maintaining a daily calorie deficit of 200-250.

Life with Maria and Our Cats

Maria and I recently got married and are excited for the next stages of our path. Right now, we are both working on personal projects and slowly re-decorating our apartment. Zelda and Fiona are doing great and continue to cause mayhem at home.

My Love for Video Games

I’m also a huge fan of video games, particularly the Zelda series. I fully believe Ocarina of Time is one of the best games ever made, and I'm currently replaying Breath of The Wild while eagerly waiting for Echoes of Wisdom to come out.

I also love World of Warcraft and have been playing it on and off for years—the classic version is easily one of the best games ever in my book.

Passion for Fighting Sports

I have a passion for fighting sports. While I was more deeply into it a few years ago, I still love watching great form and balance in the ring. I trained in boxing for over two years and, though I’ve taken a break for about five months, I plan to start up again soon.

My all-time favorite boxer is Roberto Duran, and I'm a huge fan of Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis, and David Benavidez (and yes, I think Canelo should stop ducking Benavidez!).

Exploring Spirituality

Beyond all this, I have a deep interest in spirituality and personal growth. I love exploring new practices like meditation, breathwork, and psychedelics—especially Ayahuasca, which I hold in high reverence.

I’m also writing a book about my experiences in psychedelic ceremonies, so stay tuned for that!

My Current Teacher

Recently, I had a session with a man named Steven Noack and have been learning a lot from him. Steven had a near-death experience (NDE) when he was 4 years old and later on when he was older that completely changed his life.

I invite you to watch his YouTube videos where talks about his experiences and the lessons he learns and shares with the world. Here is the link.
