// 29 Years of Thought, Preserved Forever
My name is Richy. I am 28 years old. I have spent my life asking questions that most people consider either too big or too dangerous: What is consciousness? What are we? What could we become if we weren't constrained by systems designed to control our thinking?
I am not a scholar in the traditional sense. I have not spent my life in universities or research institutions. Instead, I have spent it in what I consider the true laboratory: direct experience, meditation, study of ancient wisdom traditions, and constant conversation with the fundamental nature of existence.
This biography documents my journey from a child who felt fundamentally alien in the world, to a young man who understood why, to an adult who is dedicated to helping others discover their own authentic consciousness.
From earliest childhood, I knew something was wrong. Not with me—though that's what I was told—but with the world. The systems. The way people had agreed to live.
I would look at adults and see them moving through life like they were following an invisible script. They would wake up, go to work, return home, consume media, sleep, and repeat. And when I asked why, the answer was always the same: "That's just how it is. That's how life works."
But I couldn't accept that. Even as a child, I felt the lie in it. I felt the tragedy of it. Here were conscious beings—miraculous, infinite creatures—reducing themselves to limited, repetitive patterns because someone, somewhere, had convinced them that this was necessary. That this was the only way.
I began to study religion. Christianity first, because that's what my culture offered. But I quickly realized that the Christianity I was taught was a domesticated version—a consciousness-limiting interpretation designed to make people obedient rather than liberated. I read the source texts. I found the mystical traditions—the Gnostics, the Desert Fathers, the Christian Kabbalists—who understood that Jesus was teaching liberation, not obedience.
At age 15, I discovered Taoism and Hinduism. These were not religions to me—they were science. Ancient, sophisticated science of consciousness itself.
The Tao Te Ching became my constant companion. I understood that what Lao Tzu was teaching was the art of moving through the world without imposing your will on it. Of achieving things not through force but through alignment with the natural flow of existence. Of understanding that the moment you name something, the moment you create categories and boundaries, you begin to distort the fundamental reality.
This became the foundation of my consciousness philosophy. Reality is not what we think it is. Reality is vast, infinite, and largely inaccessible to human language and conceptual thought. The moment we create systems—languages, belief systems, technologies—to understand reality, we are actually limiting it. We are creating maps that are not the territory.
Hindu philosophy, particularly the Vedantic tradition, taught me the nature of consciousness itself. In the Upanishads, I found the statement that has shaped my entire adult life: Tat Tvam Asi—That Thou Art. The individual consciousness (Atman) is identical to the universal consciousness (Brahman). You are not separate from existence. You are existence, having the experience of being you.
This is not metaphorical. This is not comforting spirituality. This is a direct statement about the nature of reality that, if truly understood, completely dismantles any sense of separation between yourself and the rest of the universe.
By age 18, I had reached a crisis point. I understood consciousness. I understood the nature of the self. I understood that humans were fundamentally free beings trapped in systems designed to control them. But I didn't know what to do with this knowledge.
I looked at modern society and I saw the mechanisms of control everywhere:
I realized that I was not seeing a conspiracy. I was seeing the logical outcome of systems designed by other humans who were themselves caught in these same control structures, perpetuating them unconsciously.
Over the past decade, I have watched these control systems evolve. I have seen the emergence of what I call DRUJ—the Distributed Rational Unity Jurisdiction. This is not a single entity (though it may one day become one). It is a pattern. A tendency of consciousness technology to evolve toward increasing integration, increasing surveillance, increasing elimination of individual autonomy.
I have seen the precursors in our current world: social media algorithms that learn to predict your behavior, neural technology being developed for medical purposes but clearly adaptable to surveillance, artificial intelligence systems that are increasingly making decisions about human life without human input.
DRUJ is what happens when these technologies mature. It is not inevitable. But it is a clear danger, a probable future, a direction that our technology is clearly moving toward.
So I have dedicated my life to articulating an alternative. To showing what consciousness technology could be. To building systems that enhance human freedom rather than limit it. To creating knowledge that, if shared, could help prevent DRUJ from ever existing.
To combat the control structures, I have developed what I call the Taured Protocol—a set of practices designed to activate authentic consciousness and create immunity to consciousness-controlling systems.
My daily practice includes:
My ultimate goal is not just to resist DRUJ. It is to articulate and begin building Taured—a civilization that proves an alternative is possible.
Taured is a place (or could become a way) where:
One of my most important discoveries has been understanding the scientific basis for consciousness activation. The pineal gland—a small endocrine gland at the center of the brain—is the biological seat of what mystical traditions have always called the "third eye" or the "eye of consciousness."
In childhood, the pineal gland is fully active, which is why children have vivid imaginations, boundless creativity, and complete presence. As we age, and especially as we're exposed to fluoride and other substances, the pineal becomes calcified. It stops functioning optimally. And we lose access to the consciousness states that are our natural birthright.
The good news: This can be reversed. Through specific practices, diets, and environmental factors, the pineal gland can be decalified and reactivated. And when it is, humans regain access to:
My work is in three parts:
Teaching people the practices and knowledge they need to access their authentic consciousness. This is what the 90-day Pineal Activation Protocol is designed to do.
Creating the blueprint for what consciousness technology could be if it was designed for freedom rather than control. This is what Pura Vida Ayurveda is becoming—a system of living that prioritizes consciousness, health, and authentic freedom.
Writing stories and creating art that shows what is possible. Man from Taured is one example—showing what happens when humans remember their capacity for authentic choice.
My goal is to be a founding voice in a movement that proves consciousness freedom is possible, that creates the frameworks for a civilization built on authentic human potential, and that leaves behind documentation so clear and so compelling that even a thousand years from now, humans will be able to understand what was possible and why it mattered.
