I studied with him directly in Holland, although I felt that after awhile it would be best for me to look for a different teacher which I found in the UK at a place called The Sacred Trust. It was quite intense working with Alberto. I ended up being faced with some of my own limitations which was not an easy process for myself. Even though I left him behind, I think of him from time to time being that I feel that my time with him was something rather significant for my life. I remember on the first day of the training, I ended up at the lunch table with him and some of the other teachers. I told them about a dream that I had a few nights earlier where a big black jaquar had come to me and sat on my lap. No one said a word and two of the instructors eyes grew big and their mouths fell open. Alberto sat stone-faced and didn't say a word. It was a rather strange event. I'd decided however to look at it all as some sort of sign that was pointing me in some direction.
