Bentinho Massaro

 I one day figured that all this dancing around that I was doing, all these everyday things I was chasing after and exploring, were meaningless and powerless if I didn't know the true meaning of life in my own direct experience. I had this instinctual impulse to get to the source of everything, to attain some kind of mastery over myself and all my abilities, to acquire a deep knowing in which all else would be understood immediately and in its proper place.

I desired to find 'the truth that doesn't change', so that I could make sense out of everything else from that space of clarity.

I had been playing around a bit with discovering the hidden capabilities of our minds.  Later I became fed up with the uselessness of learning and doing common things that don't really seem to make a difference or provide anyone with much meaning.  I desired to break free from that cycle and discover truth, or at least find something of existential meaning, for myself.  (pronounced "Bentinyo")
