Summary

The seventh date seed is knowing yourself in order to understand life and death. Revisiting your own journey from your earliest memory and recognizing changes as part of life, including from one reincarnation to the next, paves the way for answers to emerge naturally. Nurtured with care, the seven seeds transform life.

Source transcript

I do not stop producing things that I sometimes consider good, at other times average, and, in some situations, perhaps useless. Someone once asked me whether I could answer any question. I answered yes, but that perhaps only 10% of my answers would be useful and, in the end, only 2% or 3% would have real validity. It is crucial that we reflect on the inner vastness we possess and filter what truly matters.

The seventh date seed addresses life and death, fundamental questions we all want to understand. It answers essential questions: what is the meaning of life, why are we here, what did we come to do, where are we going, where did we come from, and why do we die? To understand fully, one must walk through life from the first memory of oneself. Review all experiences, images, words, and feelings. This journey is rich in actions, changes, suffering, mistakes, and successes. I believe that people's fear is not of the changes themselves, but of what happens after them.

You will realize that you are constantly changing, but you have not yet learned that changes are an integral part of life. This happens within a single life; imagine it across several, entering and leaving one for another in an endless chain of repetitions. With awareness of this, you will certainly discover the meaning of life. The seventh date seed is simply to know oneself, and all the answers will arise naturally.

These seeds, lovingly planted in the heart, will transform our lives forever. I continued as a beggar in my subsequent reincarnations. As a beggar, I aroused only pity, rarely envy or anger. I sought to be polite and mind my own life, intervening positively and cautiously in the lives of others. We should pay attention to everything around us during this journey. I recognize that it is not easy; we rob ourselves of all these seeds, imagination, time, everything. In the end, when it is time to "hang the body on Saint Peter's coat rack," he may ask whether you brought the seven seeds. It is therefore better to gather them, because life is worthwhile.
