Master José Pineda Vargas (his family name is "MANCOLUTO", as he's known by the shamans) - main owner of the knowledge of the Bancotauri system, founder and inspector of the "Apus Inka" Organization - is a first level shaman since his childhood and extremely distinguished in the knowledge of superior metaphysics and in the development of the seven senses. His teachings are further than human reasoning and much profounder than any philosophy. His bloodline pulls back to the inhabitants of the Chavin civilization.

Many philosophical systems see the ego as something negative. If people opened their minds and their senses, they would realize that a little ego isn't negative. Because of having a physical body, the human being isn't perfect and always has some negativity. Without ego this negativity is even greater, since like that there's more confusion, especially if one takes the absence of ego as enlightenment and turns it into a philosophy. Not having ego leads to a conformity in which one remains satisfied with what already knows, taking off the strength to achieve a profounder understanding and rediscover knowledge lost in time.
