Law 1
If You Want to Be Human, Be a Beast First
“Without separation, there is no need for salvation, for there is nothing wrong with us. We are a part of this earth, we are not guests. It is our home.”
Human Beast

The Laws of the Jungle
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 2
Be the Music, Not the Conductor
“It is scary to let go; fear strikes. But fear is the best guide. It shows you the way — always towards it, never away from it. If you run from it, it will chase you forever.”
Be the Music
Original score
Law 3
The Fig Tree Will Never Bear Mangos
“We are the fig tree that wants to be a mango tree.”
Being Me
Original score
Law 4
The Seasons Always Change
“No species in the jungle complains and no species tries to hold onto the old. They are not attached to anything but the sacredness of the continuity of life. When the season changes they adjust immediately and naturally to the new situation and thrive in it.”

We Are Born Free

Law 6
Evolution Is Created

Law 9
The Purpose of Life Is Death
“As human beings, our DNA contains the truth of the continuum. Yet the boundaries of our perception block our ability to understand it. When we are able to change our perception, we will see the truth.”

The laws land differently
when Yossi speaks them.
Every keynote draws from these nine principles. The room goes quiet. Then it goes very loud.
