Key Themes & Memorable Moments: Many moments of grace: From finding Roy Eugene Davis through a randomly chosen video to blessings encountered after his home burned down to a good samaritan returning his lost cash, Furio has learned not to be afraid of the unknown. Practical lessons from Roy Eugene Davis: Among others…motivation comes from within, keep the teachings pure, and maintain your integrity. Favorite quotes! “When you have to face a challenging situation, and you don’t know what to do, just be faithful about the fact that the superior intelligence, which is inside and outside of you at the same time, will take care of the situation, and stop thinking about the problem. This works all the time. Maybe not in the way you expect, but usually in a better way.” "Practicing meditation every single day, little by little, faith is replaced by knowledge."

 

About Furio Sclano: Furio Sclano, a dedicated Kriya Yoga minister based in Savona, Italy, studied under Roy Eugene Davis from 1996 until Mr. Davis’s passing in 2019 and was ordained by him in 2005.
