Muiscas

Sometimes I have the perception that what the Tao Te Ching is telling, is that a human being is what it has cultivated inside of him and not the materials he has gained. Therefore, a person only grows with the touch of values, and not the touch of time. “Claim wealth and titles, and disaster will follow” (Tao Te Ching 9). This reminds me of a piece of information I recently learned in El Museo del Oro. I learned that a tribe called the Muiscas, said that the fetal position of a human being resembles a basket, and from every experience the lesson will be saved in the basket.
