Notă biografică
Improbable-from Juárez poor to worldly and wealthy. More improbable-he'll sacrifice it all for enlightenment. Ozzie Delgadillo was born in 1934 in Juárez to an American father and Mexican mother. His mother was doting, devout, and protective. His father was absent, erratic, and abusive. The tiny house had its spigot and toilet outside. Is this a recipe for success? Yet Ozzie knew he was far greater than these humble beginnings. Indifferent to school unless he could speak to the class or romance the teacher, he learned straight from life-quickly. He had many mentors. A schoolmate improved his speech. With a beloved uncle, he gained strength, skill, and courage in dangerous work on moving trains. His younger brother showed him dancing. Romancing was inbred. In the macho culture, he saw prostitution and men mistreating women, yet an early girlfriend showed him that true caring makes sex beautiful. He sought refinement in classical music salons. After eighth grade, at 16, he left school and found work. By 18 he married and settled in Los Angeles. After a decade of factory work, mentors taught him real estate sales. He quickly became a top producer. He and his brother opened their own office, shaking up the industry with bold innovations. Outsized success afforded imported clothes, fancy cars, romantic encounters, and temptation. His appetite for adventure put him in harm's way. In bayou country, searching for treasure, he realized he was with killers. Uh-oh. At a healing service, disembodied forces overpowered him. The priest refused to exorcise. Now what? But then he hungered for deeper meaning. A near fatal fall from a horse brought amnesia, a slow recovery, and a profound change of consciousness. Ozzie devoured mystical books. He found a spiritual teacher. He learned to let spirit guide his speech and used his charisma to inspire others into their goodness. He facilitated workshops for his spiritual group throughout South America, bringing spiritual awakening to many. His church recognized him as "Minister of the Year." Spirit worked through him, manifesting miracles of healing. He acquired a board and care home. With his big heart, mystical attunement, and knack for relating, he communicated with mentally ill clients in ways that baffled the staff psychiatrist. His spiritual teacher told Ozzie that he had made an agreement with spirit to know himself completely as a spiritual being. He shouldn't over create materially or spirit will undermine it. He persisted in outer creation. So spirit intervened. The 2008 downturn wiped out his finances. His health failed: cancer, blurred vision, and a stroke. He surrendered, accepting it all with humor, grace, and unconditional love. Always learning, always growing, he found the teacher within. He claimed the richest reward, his life purpose-enlightenment. Ozzie mastered the rules of the games of life, and sometimes he innovated, making new rules. During difficult setbacks, he never ever lost his sense of humor nor his ability to savor life. A hero to many, Ozzie radiated powerful optimism and contagious joy. He was deeply devoted to his life partners. He inspires us to enjoy life, to learn from everything, to grow, and to love unconditionally.
