Description

- Transform your life by learning the subtle laws of the Amazon forest
- Learn from a real shaman the laws of the universe revealed in the Avatar movie
Timoté describes a journey through the immensities of the Amazon jungle, in the company of Cuatiendioy -a wise shaman.
Timoté’s concepts of life will change, which will be confronted by the laws of Nature and of the inhabitants of the rainforest, in a fascinating journey through a magical world unknown to man.
This adventure will present us with the question of whether the reality we live in can be changed by other more subtle realities, impeccably preserved by some indigenous communities in the heart of the Amazon forest, who still refuse to be conquered by the so-called “civilized person".
Reading Timote is entering into the realm of a new consciousness.

FOREWORD BY THE EDITOR
The first time I saw Timoté was during a seven day seshin in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Although we did not talk, I remember him sitting in silence facing the wall. There was something different about this man.
Years later, during my seven year training at the Rochester Zen Center in upstate New York, Timoté came to participate in one of the seshins that are offered regularly at the Zen Center. I quickly recognized him and asked him why he was attracted to the Zen tradition. People from all over the world came to the Zen Center, and it was always fascinating to me to learn how they became interested in Zen.
He told me that during a business trip to Japan, he has visited a Zen Temple in the city of Sakura. The most remarkable quality of that Zen Center was the quietness and silence of the atmosphere. He told me that the only place he had experienced that silence was in the Amazon rainforest while he was an apprentice with his teacher: Cuatiendoy.
This was my first introduction to the amazing teachings of Cuatiendoy, a wise shaman living in the Amazon rainforest who possessed remarkable abilities including telepathy, a deep understanding of the subconscious, healing with herbs and orchids, communicating with animals, and overall, had a profound connection with the Earth mother of the Amazon. Timoté recorded his experiences with Cuatiendoy in a manuscript and gave me a copy. The book that you hold in your hands describes the experiences that Timoté had with Cuatiendoy, including profound metaphysical teachings that were transmitted to him.
The first thing that struck me was that Cuatiendoy did not sleep at night. Instead, he used to meditate on tree branches in full-lotus posture the whole night, which reminded me of two of the greatest Zen masters who were known for not lying down to sleep but meditated until dawn. Cuatiendoy was also a master of breathing techniques, which allowed him to change the temperature of his body and more importantly, to quiet his mind. He developed his own pranayama practices that allowed him to awaken profound psychic abilities.
Part of my research and training has been in Taoist alchemy, and what amazed me were the similarities between the teachings of Cuatiendoy and the Taoist masters, both of which are rooted in the quantum field. We can say that Cuatiendoy was immersed in the quantum field unceasingly. We can also consider Cuatiendoy a modern Druid mystic with a deep understanding of the subtle laws of the universe, herbs, and how natural cycles influence human beings.
The most important message of this book is the importance of respecting nature, and how humans have created their self-inflicted pain by not following the immutable laws of the universe, instead going against them. Cuatiendoy exposes the severe problems caused to the Amazon rainforest by the “civilized man.” He shows how it is being destroyed by greed and ignorance. For context, the Amazon rainforest lost an area comparable to the size of Israel in 2020.Throughout history, great human beings have emphasized the importance of Nature in the evolution of human consciousness.
Walter Russell, who was considered the Leonardo DaVinci of the 20 th Century, explained the following in his biography called “The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe”: “You may command Nature to the extent only to which you are willing to obey her. You cannot intelligently obey that which you do not comprehend. Therefore I also say, ask of Nature that you may be one with her, and she will whisper her secrets to you to the extent to which you are prepared to listen”.
Ralph Waldo Emerson described Nature as the embodiment of Divine Law, which is exemplified by the teachings Cuatiendoy revealed to Timoté, and can be summarized as follows: “Nature will reveal to you great teachings, but only to the extent that you approach her with humbleness, gratitude, and respect.”
Humanity is at a crossroads. We have made great advances technologically, but we are facing deep problems that threaten our survival as a species. Until we recognize the importance of embracing the immutable laws of the universe instead of going against them, and until we can revere Nature as our ancestors did, the legacy we will bequeath to future generations will continue to compromise their survival. Let us find hope and inspiration in these pages, by learning the ways of the wise, as Timoté himself apprenticed to Cuatiendoy and shares now with us.

INTRODUCTION
Timoté, the central character of this narrative, describes how he unexpectedly met Cuatiendioy when he was only a high school student fleeing from the military, who were after him to punish him as a deserter for refusing to take part in a fight he did not consider his own, and ultimately for refusing to bear arms and kill his fellow human beings.
Cuatiendioy is a wise Curaca (someone in a position of authority and responsibility within his community) from the Amazon jungle, who rescues him from perishing in the jungle, baptizes him with the indigenous name of “Timoté,” and entrusts him with the mission of conveying a message to the civilized man . At the same time, he helps him to find meaning in his life and teaches him how to heal long standing emotional wounds caused by painful experiences in his childhood. In the process, he also introduces him to the realm of physical healing by means of plants, and emotional healing with the essence of orchids
The indio Cuatiendioy is a wise man who has learned to navigate between two worlds. He has full knowledge of the needs of the indigenous peoples, and also understands the customs of what he calls “ the Civilized man, ” particularly his obsession with power and money, and his readiness to employ any means to obtain them. Cuatiendioy acts as a Messenger between the Civilized man and the Indio , and among the various indigenous peoples who still survive in the Amazon.
“Timoté” is a reproach of the intrusion perpetrated by our civilization and our technology against the essential world of the Amazonian indigenous peoples, together with the destruction of the foremost lung of the planet, with the cutting down of trees and the death of all the creatures living in it.
It is also a criticism of the indifference of governments towards the needs of the indigenous peoples who have been robbed of their resources and their way of life, as well as a denouncement of the impact of guerrilla forces and drug dealers, in areas that until recently, were free from the presence of the civilized man . It is also a portrayal of the indigenous peoples´ struggle for survival, and their continuous efforts to move away from the “civilized” man harmful influence, only to discover that they
