Dr. Otero has a book that is in the process of being published. The title of the book is: “Do You Know Who We Are” and the manuscript is in revision by Newman Spring Publishing Co.

“My goal in writing these humble and informative pages is to make you aware of who you are, and realize that everything and anything you’ve learned about life is a concept that can disappear the same very moment that it comes into existence. The universe as we know it, is only a creation of our consciousness. The only tangible concept is our thoughts that light up as a bright light bulb, whenever we accept them, but they can disappear just at once when we aren’t conscious about it. The creation of consciousness is like a small light in the horizon that if you are not paying attention, you do not see it and your life will be the same as it had been since you were born, influenced by your surroundings and everyone in your circle, instead of being created by you” expressed Dr. Otero.
