Not metaphors. Not philosophy borrowed from books. Nine principles written in the code of life itself, extracted from years living inside the Amazon, and set to music that carries what words alone cannot.
Each law includes an original score. Press play.
Law 1
“Each species does exactly what it does best to survive, except for human beings. Our acquired reality is that of separation, while the truth of our existence is that of unity. We see the world as separate from ourselves and fail to live within the interconnectedness and interdependence of this world. But there are no winners unless we all win.”
Human Beast
Original score
Law 2
“Give up your need for control, let it go.”
Be the Music
Original score
Law 3
“We are the fig tree that wants to be a mango tree.”
Being Me
Original score
Law 4
“The essence of survival is a swift and efficient adaptation to new circumstances. The dead must be buried, and the living must move on with life.”
The Seasons Always Change
Original score
Law 5
“The box is a cage we have built to protect us from the elements. We dwell in the illusory safety of the cage, afraid of the world we have alienated. We are trapped, like animals in a zoo. And we call this cage civilization.”
We Are Born Free
Original score
Law 6
“The process of perfection through genetic manipulation, through trial and error, fails to recognize a truth that is so apparent. That process is guided by an underlying intelligence that guides all things and all beings.”
Evolution Is Created
Original score
Law 7
“If we can trust that there is enough for everybody, we will achieve abundance-based cooperation, respectful management of the resources, a sense of harmony.”
Perfectly Perfect
Original score
Law 8
“The future lives only in the present, the past lives only in the present, there is nothing else. See this and see that the present always contains all possibilities, the present is eternal.”
The Time Is Now
Original score
Law 9
“This life that we perceive is only one dimension of the universe. It is foolish to believe it is the only dimension, that we are capable of understanding every possible dimension.”
The Purpose of Life Is Death
Original score
Hear them live
Every keynote draws from these nine principles. The room goes quiet. Then it goes very loud.
