The Human Being is the cause of all causes in the world; everything else is a symptom… Politics, the economy, education, schools, religion, society may change… If the Human Being does not change, nothing will change!
The book
An invitation to dive into the very depths of Being
Love Invites — The Seed for Awakening is born of twenty-six years of experience, observation and reflection on human consciousness, its conditioning and the possibility of inner transformation.
This is not merely a theoretical construction. The reflections running through these pages are born of practice: of the repeated observation of the fears, beliefs and mechanisms that condition human existence, but also of the transformations that can take place when individuals begin to recognise what imprisons them and become willing to look beyond the reality they have built for themselves.
At the heart of this journey lies Love — the only living and life-giving Reality, the manifestation and expression of the Source of Life (God). It is in Love that Consciousness reveals itself, heals and sets free, leading the human being to the encounter with their deepest nature and unveiling the mystery of the Spiritual and Divine Being that we are.
Page after page, the reader is invited to question certainties, to cross through fear, to recognise their own conditioning and to draw closer to the silence in which another understanding of oneself and of life can emerge.

Daniela Sofia Reis · Foreword
These poetic texts that Sanctus offers us are the first rays of dawn, as are his words in his healing sessions and retreats.
Célia Gomes · Introduction
The Human Being is the cause of all causes in the world; everything else is a symptom… Politics, the economy, education, schools, religion, society may change… If the Human Being does not change, nothing will change!
The freedom of the nature of beauty succumbs before the ugliness of established norms!
At 11, the death of childhood; at 22, the death of adolescence; at 33, the death of the adult. The three deaths must happen so that the Full Being may manifest…!
