Paul Tooby passed away today, March 9, 2025, in Red Bluff, California.
In contrast to the noise and exuberance of the moment, Paul was a loving, kind, quiet, and reserved man with unbelievable perseverance and dedication.
He dedicated his life to Universal Humanism, promoting the work developed by Silo (Mario Rodríguez Cobos). In 1992, he founded the publishing company Latitude Press, dedicated to showcasing and amplifying the voices of authors working toward the development of the concept of a “universal human nation.”
In 1993, Paul translated from Spanish and published Tales for Heart and Mind: The Guided Experiences—A Storybook for Grownups by Silo. He was among the first to recognize the importance of making Silo’s work accessible to the English-speaking community.
Silo (1938–2010), a prolific Argentine author, continues to inspire a growing following worldwide. His teachings offer a new spiritual path that combines personal and social transformation, guiding humanity toward a “universal human nation.”
From the very beginning, Paul was instrumental in the creation of the Park of Study and Reflection in Red Bluff, California—a space dedicated to the study of the human being and their evolutionary possibilities toward a nonviolent world, free from discrimination. Today, there are more than forty such Parks located across five continents.
Bon voyage to the City of Light, dear Paul!
