My name is Lewis Almeida. I was born in Los Angeles, California in 1941 to Mexican immigrants. I was number 9 of 11 siblings. I was an average student, I hated school. At the age of 21 I became a hair stylist and eventually a salon owner. I worked in that field for 25 years. I changed careers at the age of 46. I became a realtor. At the age of 30, I was introduced to Spinoza’s philosophy, and Gurdjieff’s teachings in 1970 by my teacher and mentor, the late Gregory Grover. I remained with him for over 20 years. Currently, I am 82 years old, my birthday is August 25th, My current interests are: seeking students who may be interested in the work that I do; such as learning how to awaken your intelligence by applying one’s mind to understand the laws that influence your egoistic nature. I love creating videos and posting articles on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. I love dancing, riding my electric bike, exercising, and following a healthy nutritional diet.
