We first discovered Bentinho Massaro just after our daughter was born, nearly two years ago. We were new parents, exhausted, baffled and in need of direction. Up pops Bentinho's smiling face on Instagram and, for some reason, we clicked. We began watching and listening, and magnetized by our resonance with his message, understood that we had found a compelling contemporary translator of the ancient truth of nonduality and oneness - the teacher we had been looking for. In the nearly two years that we have been digesting his teachings, we have radically transformed our lives. In fact, this platform - Ownstream - can be traced directly back to our encountering Bentinho and his work. Ownstream had lurked in our hearts as a deep longing of contribution and excitement. When we discovered Bentinho's teachings, this passion was released and is now expressed as this platform and growing by the day. Joy, love and profound meaning now permeate our days and challenges that arise can be met with truly effective tools for realigning with the truth of who and what we are - gods in human form (that's right - and so are you). This perfectly measures Bentinho's intention as a teacher - to help students find within themselves the truth of what they are - which is the ultimate guide for any person's life, not any teacher, guru or other external authority. And so, we present this week, with deep love, gratitude and excitement, Bentinho - a brilliant translator of the truth that has flowed here on earth for millennia, but has been covered up and forgotten by most - and the particular teacher who reached us, personally, after many years on the spiritual path. In this conversation, he will describes in beautiful, candid detail his own experience waking up to the absolute truth of existence, how his calling as a teacher expanded from this experience, his view of the universe and man's place within it and his most powerful belief of all: That anyone - including you - can experience this.
