3. Wisdom
   1. The left hand receives, the heart makes the alchemy through love and compassion, and the right hand gives back to the world
   2. Giving and receiving is not the same as give&take
   3. Wellbeing is to align "I want" with "I need" with "I am", where "I want" is subsumed to "I need" and not viceversa
   4. You don't like to give space as you don't like to take it
   5. Western (psycho)therapy is ok to get to de-armoring (works on the mind), but then Eastern wisdom is the kingdom of paradoxes, because Truth is paradoxical
   6. As the Moon reflects the light of the Sun, so the master reflects the Truth to the disciple in such a way that it can be received
   7. We spend the first part of our life to build an armor and then we feel imprisoned by it and we spend the second part to de-armor.
   8. Any wall we create for protection becomes a prison.
   9. How can you kiss your beloved with an armor on?
   10. When you stay in your armor you learn new trick to fight better, not to love.
   11. The present makes your future
   12. The empty doesn't need protection, only the filled. Yet for you empty = hollow, silence = void, darkness = bleak
   13. Once de-armored, wisdom is to stay open and vulnerable and live following by the heart
   14. To live through the mind is to live from Power. To live through the heart is to live from Love.
   15. "How to live?" is a mind's question: The real living is spontaneous: you don't prepare.
   16. Before dearmoring we have a treasure inside, once we open we are the treasure, a treasure for the world.
   17. Being truly alive means to have the courage to light our candle's on both ends
   18. You have to reorient yourselves on the connotation of weak and strong: a storm may uproot a majestic tree once and for all, while the tiny grass resurrects rapidly
   19. The flower is the most delicate part, but also the most beautiful, fecund and fragrant
