Like the website that hosts it, this blog is only concerned with using art and brief texts to uncover the bias and other limitations of thought conditioned by memory and tradition, thus also revealing how this largely unacknowledged tribal egotism that affects all human beings creates and sustains the systemic disorder and violence of the world in which we all live.
Without a radical awakening to the immense distance between our mental and social reality and the truth, we are condemned to continue living in the same cruel division, conflict, and sorrow to which we ourselves sustain with our personal memories, thoughts, and desires.

Our species has long been stuck in a fixed state of acute dysfunction (psychological, social, economic, political, geopolitical, and ecological) and this situation will remain fundamentally the same unless we are open to seeing that we are ruled by a mental system rigidly programmed and fragmented by the record of experience. In other words, we need to realize that each of us is a slightly different manifestation of the species’ general and chronic inability to transcend its multiple, predetermined, contradictory, and largely irrational ways of thinking and acting. Seeing this situation directly, independently, and as holistically as possible is the only way to liberate human consciousness from the tribal and egocentric constriction and distortion it has suffered for millennia and is now threatening the survival of the entire species.
The art and writing in this website and its blog aim to reveal the intrinsic limitations and dangers of traditional cultural and psychological reality, and thus help foster the sensitivity and caring intelligence without which our minds and relationships will continue to deteriorate putting the well-being and very survival of our species in increasing jeopardy.
Your interest in this endeavor is highly appreciated, along with whatever support you may care to lend to it.
Nuestra especie ha estado atrapada durante mucho tiempo en un estado fijo de disfunción (psicológica, social, económica, política, geopolítica y ecológica) y esta situación seguirá siendo fundamentalmente la misma a no ser que logremos ver la impotencia terminal de una mente rígidamente programada por la experiencia. En otras palabras, tenemos que darnos cuenta de que cada uno de nosotros es una manifestacion particular de la incapacidad general y crónica que sufre la especie de trascender formas predeterminadas y en gran parte irracionales de pensar y actuar. Lo unico que puede liberar la conciencia humana de la constricción tribal y egocéntrica que hemos sufrido durante milenios es la capacidad de ver esta situacion de manera directa, independiente y holística.
El arte y los textos que aparecen en este espacio tienen como objetivo mostrar que gran parte de los regímenes culturales y psicológicos que asumimos como nuestra única realidad posible son cuevas mentales sin salida en los que nos estamos sofocando lentamente. Su unico objetivo es ayudar a fomentar la sensibilidad y la inteligencia afectiva sin la cual nuestras mentes y relaciones continuarán deteriorándose poniendo asi el bienestar y la misma supervivencia de nuestra especie en peligro creciente. Su interés en este esfuerzo es altamente apreciado, como lo será cualquier apoyo que quiera prestarle.
