Sketchy worlds



"Sketchy worlds: Sunset"

Watercolor on paper, 16 June 2006



Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one, on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me

Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on, on to the Heart of the Sunrise...












"Sketchy worlds: Roundabout"

10 October 2005



 Go closer hold the land feel party no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years


I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out

Homo homini lupus




 
"Wolf and sheep"

Watercolor on paper, 3 May 2004




  In his work Asinaria greek writer Plauto (ca. 200 bc) described man as "a wolf for man". English philosopher Thomas Hobbes used this concept to illustrate the need for a "social contract" among men to get over the animal, natural tendency to survive that moves individuals to behave as wolves for their fellow beings, moved by their fear to fail to survive, or perhaps other real or unreal needs.


  Among the many social classifications that we humans are fond to make, there is one that does not appear in the statistics: How many of us, how often and when do we behave as wolves and when as sheep. Not even each one of us could make that study for himself. Just keep in mind, though, before you act, what skin are you wearing. You will be surprised.

Acts of God


 "The Flood"

Watercolor on paper, 27 Oct 2005




  There's four kinds of people who believe in God: 

  To the first belong those who thank God for the blessings they received, and pray that evil may not reach them.

  The second kind groups those who blame God for not receiving the same blessings that others have received, and for all the evil that has reached them.

  The third kind is formed by those who say they don't believe in God, to avoid any responsibility with themselves and with their fellow beings. Their blessings, they think, are the consequence of their own efforts, not so their evils.

  In the fourth group are those who do not officially believe in God, but recognize the need of His existence to complete deep scientific theories, or just administrative work. Insurance companies, for instance, define natural disasters like tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, falling meteorites, etc., as "Acts of God". As mountains, rivers and lightning, those are the consequence of deterministic laws that cannot be changed, not even by God. They don't have a purpose or a meaning, except for those who belong to the second and third groups.

Inner Worlds II


"Inner Worlds II"

Watercolor on paper, 29 March 2013



  There's 33 years between Inner Worlds and Inner Worlds II. What has changed? Those worlds that were not born yet in 1980 now they are flowing up, fully free and colourful. They have become one as a group but still diverse, instead of being lonely entities tied together. That's how feel now about myself and my fellow living beings, human and not human (for instance, my cats)

Far Beyond Myself




"Far Beyond Myself"

Washed ink on paper, 7 July 1977




    Our mind works on expectations. We go to work because we expect to be paid for it. We go to cinema because we expect to have some fun and entertainment. We wish to marry because we expect a better life full of good experiences. We don't actually know the outcome of our actions, but we are confident that our expectations will be fulfilled if we do the right things at the right time, generally with the life of others as a model. Uncertainty is our constant companion, we cannot know anything for sure becasue our mind is not prepared to compute absolute truth- Even if we had it in front of us we would doubt it. We just trust that the information we have is true enough.

   Is that all? May be not. Although we don't know many things about this world and this Universe, the tendency is to ample our knowledge by constant discoveries and revelations. Science is full of wonderful findings that didn't come from pure deduction and analysis, not talking about music and other arts. Certainly those discoveries and masterpieces took place while dedicated people were at work, but still there are unknown factors involving those achievements.

  Constant revelation is at reach for all of us. We are too busy to feel it, as we move mostly in a Beta-wave state of mind. We tend to move away from the relaxing Alpha-wave states, seen today as unproductive, lazy moods. Just a step between awake and asleep. Pity.

  That said, now comes a message for those who are interested in revelations while relaxed and even unconscious states: Life is a continuous state of mind. Death is just a change of vehicle. Actually the expression "Life after death" is an oximoron, as Life has no end.  The body has a due date, as our car or our shaver. But we don't. Our conscience is permanent, indestructible, as Life itself.

 For those who are interested in this all-important topic, please check this book:






  This is the point of view of an scientist on his own "After death" experience. As there's no way to prove this story, or any other thing by the way, you will need to trust your instinct and receive your particular revelation and testimony of it.

  It takes a lot of faith to believe in nothing, more than believe in something :) (This one is mine) 
Be happy.
