About a thought

«Whenever we thing of thought, he says, we have before our eyes the image of Rodin’s Thinker, sitting immense and solitary with his great wise head in his great wise hand and gazing deep into himself.»

Moo Pak, Gabriel Josipovici

It’s certainly relevant. A thought. It’s as good as it gets. The inception of new idea. The consolidation of an inspiring new thought, there passing by for the first time in our human experience. And somehow magical.

But Moo Pak nails it, whether the narrator of the writer, or the universal connection between them, and us, plain readers of someone else’s thought. «It does not need Gilbert Ryle, he says, to show us that this image ins only and image of what those who have never had a thought in thier lives imagine the process of thinking to be».

That’s it. It’s not that at all. It’s not really there. Not the precise image, but rather what we hav socially simplify of what should be a very natural development for any human being.

«There is no such a thing as a pure thought, he says, there is only a sudden sharp intuition, a stirring of the blood, which you have to coax into shape, into words».

Precisely. It’s a scavenger hunt that you have not been prepared for. But you have trained yourself to capture them. To coax them into words. As a matter of life or death. The death of deepness in that thought, that if you are not able to recover, it will never be. It’s a dark road filled with intention and failure. «Most of the time you do not succeed. Either you cannot find the words or you find the words but they are not the right words for the feeling you have had».

But he idea is that sometimes when you are hit with one of those moments and actually nail it down to words, the feeling becomes complete: bigger than itself, as well as than yourself.

Such clarity to define the robust and simply nature of a thought. But from a precise persepctive. It’s not that the image of thought of the Thinker is vague, or that he goes out for a walk with a fried to thinkg. Or to come up with thoughts. He does it to talk. To talk and walk. And that has some rules on its own. A common set of rules that you share with the person you walk with, and his own context, problems, and circumstances. No script. No landmark. Just walk. Street. Life. What’s in your head. What’s become of you. What’s in the air?

And that links the two spaces in one. I mean Moo Pak. The idea of thought, as it emerges. But rather the relevance of walking with a friend, talking. That’s the deal. But not only. It’s when you go back to your desk, and you find yourself once again in the solitude of the alchemist producing the mixture of words to define the text that pursues the clarity, the brevity, the spotonness of the ideas, that now, become vividly connected with where we were before that walk. We need to be in places that await for us to link them with their sense of higher being. The final destination. The essence of a thought.

Walk, talk and desk. It’s about the written experience of that solitude, once you’ve done the letting go, the active listening, the silence-sharing, and the harmonizing beats of every step along the ride. And it’s also about aknowledging those places. About nourishing the spirits. Searching for the time to meet, to walk. And talk. In a sensible way friends fill in the time to let you be. And to listen. And to build from there. Whatever fulfills us. Whatever help we need. It’s all there.

Yet, the homework awaits.

You must come back.

A find the place. The time. The desk. And write.

Like this.

Like that.

Walking and talking

An introduction to the walking podcast

Talking the walk and walking the talk

«At the same time, he says, unlike the strolls you are reduced to taking in a city like Paris or New York, you can walk at a decent pace in the London parks and on the London heaths, at the sort of pace that gets the blood flowing and there is nothing more conducive to good talk thatn the healthy flowing of the bood in the veins and a decent walking rhythm»

Moo Pak, Gabriel Josipovici

For quite some time, I’ve made walking a relevant aspect of my routine. Moreover, these walks have represented a way in which I could also improve the mental thought that pops up in any given walk you take. But explicity so, I’ve made a format that includes recording a podcast as the ultimate conversation within yourself, as an exploration to dedicate this thought to align the elements that converge between my current internal journey, my external interaction with society, as I walk to places where I’m suppose to go.

So when I go to work, in the time it takes me to go from my home to the bus stop, which is around 9 to 15 minutes, I launch another session of the Walking Podcast. «Hello, this is Golman, and welcome to another episode of the Walking Podcast. Talking the walk and walking the talk.» That’s my entry line in every episode. Then there’s nothing but the string of thought that comes with the day. This is no other that an immediate connection with the moment. Each step at a time. It’s a certain way to address that I am here, alive, and in this simple gesture, I will align myself with my inner forces to make of this day one that counts.

So that’s what I do. And they all turn out to be versions of the same conspiracy: what if we all could be actors of revelation of NEW collective framework that enables us to become active actors or a greater, fairer, gentler version of our humanity? What will it take for a collective instruments and mechanisms to bring out this emergent structure to reflect on change, impact and tranformation of our global ecosystem?

Yet, Jack Toledano talks about another type of walk. One you make with another person, to strike a conversation. I agree. That’s the most sympathetic way of striking a mood for the direct interaction between two people. The way in which you connect with other, by interacting with what’s in stake, whatever subject pops ups, that requires the immediacy of a response, and the pause and attention of a good listener, and the iteration of evolving feedback.

I’ve practiced those walks. I’ve been exploring the transit of my city, Barcelona, in order to understand the unfolding of each journey and pathways that interconnect the diversity of borroughs, as I understand that walking here is as rich as walking through London parks. It’s not a walking competition, but I’ve managed to do so by allowing myself to be doing those walks as an exploration of my surroundings, at first, and then as a possibility to show others that journey, with the sense of discovery and companionship, that one gets by simply breaking down through unchartered territories. And there, in those walks, the talks and conversations gain a new dimention.

Nietzsche perhaps overdid it, he says, as he overdid everything, in his insistence that the only thoughts worth preserving are those that come to one on walks and in his conviction that what was wrong with Descartes and Kant was that they refused ever to get off their backsides.

While Jack Toledano has something clear: «I personally, Jack says, don’t know what it means to think, either walking or sitting, but I know that the only way I can make anything that will cause other to think is sitting at my typewriter at my desk and the only way I can talk is walking.

The walking podcast

Starting at the top of the page

When I write I just let go of myself. I see the stuff coming out of the screen as if it is something that’s just been produced by an electric interaction among the components of my brain. And in a way, that’s what’s happening. But in a more deeper way, what’s going on here is a connection of the immediacy that occurs among the fingertips of my hands, working like a pianist composes, to come out with a sentence, a word, or an entire paragraph, that somehow tells my story.

I’ve just encounter a way to move forward by showing up to places and interacting with people that could allow me to produce a further essence of the next step in my creative process. I need to force the entry to the places I know I have to show up to. And they are not going to come to me if I don’t knock out the walls that I’ve paved so close around my confort zone that my moving out towards the place of action is not quite occuring by yet another pause. Action takes a move. Even if it’s a slow move, but in the right direction, that could be all I need. Day by day.

I’ve had this force driven me before. Like in any given moment in which I’ve set out myself to define a campaign of any kind. I’ve worked around my own personal campaign. For any given election. For any given «selling point». For any given project. And there is too much noise already in the surroundings to pay attention to yet another fool. But that’s the case for all of us. That’s the cas for any given soul, who’s trying to come out of the shell, and cry out to the world: «listen to this«.

It’s not listen to me.

It’s this.

It’s the form of you tought. The complexity or simplicity of the way in which the story is being exposed. The ancient art of showing up. With something worth reading. Something worth digging. Something that builds up a wish-to-go-somewhere-else.

I’m constantly moving. And hiding. I’ve been hiding from myself, my pathway, and my inevitable fall. I’ve been delaying the confrontation with that other moment of dealing with the reactions towards my expression: doubt, fear, anger, joy, laughter, pity, ressonance, dispear, anxiety, revolution, meh,…

It’s a game of reflections, shadows, mirrors and deceit. And among all those different spectrums, there is something laying thin among the substance of how it’s all interconnected. It’s that complex framework, the lines that connect the different aparently unrelated states what moves me to continue to explore. I’ve been exploring for so long, and now I need to convince myself to reinterpret the time and the things that I’ve written, expressed, doodled, in so many as 999 places, where the essence of myself was able to break the lock that kept me hid. It’s this second time around the one that counts. It’s this time, through this effort, where I will find the balance of my field. The nature of this NEW me.

NEW us.

NEWUS.

NEWME.

NEWI.

NEWAI.

I’ve been playing along in a different dimention. I’m ready to connect back with my previous self. And go beyond both places, to an orthogonal direction: NEW.

Breaking gol

I’ve had a dream.

In this dream I was cruising into a coming to age story. I was unfolding the character within myself, invetably going down the slope of an enormous ordeal. I was clearly breaking gol.

Walter White was in the story, but it was actually me. So was Jessy Pinkman. It was in the middle of Karachi, in a round about that was ancient, a bit like it was 400 years ago, and still with the current chaos of a traffic jam from the confusion and flow of any given day in main road of this great city.

Somehow my character in the dream started doing some hipopressive exercises that eventually got me out of the dream, and into this post. And here we are. Or rather, here I am.

I’m about to break loose. I need to keep a sharp focus on what’s going to happen in between every count of my transformation. And the characters transformation, starting from the initial presentation of Golman. However it turns out to be. Whichever dimention I land into with. And I don’t control that. Not even from the moment I cannot dissasociate my own account, and the one that’s being delivered by this fictional story.

Fiction and reality merge. At some point you are playing the masks game. And you loose control as to which one of them really is you. I’ve come across the idea that the situation is not in place, and that my evolution as human being is ready to turn the page of yet another story. This story unfolds in the way in which I’m now ready to recite.

So here we go.

The elephan in the room: AI

Now, let’s see.

AI is here to stay. The capacity to think of things, design them and execute them has now been updated with the high-speed velocity of all the AI tools that are poring into our lives. What’s the effect? We all now have availabe, at our fingertips, extended elements that before, just a mere year and a half ago, were not there not even thought of.

This, in principle, is good. We feel smarter. Our world has been expanded. Provided the right prompt we can reach the most precise answer from a «trained» algorithm and a wide rage of sources out there. Natural language models have introduce expected results to any given word that would accurately come out after previous one, being this the soul of the answer we are getting, while the capacity of the learning algorithms is being expressed by these ways of corresponding what should come after this word…

So I could generate new text, on any given format, on any given subject. I could generate a narrative that backs that up. I could also generate an image that exemplifies what I’m looking for. Also, the image can then become an animated video. And it could look as real as one could imagine. So we could, in fact, interpret the future in the terms that we would like it to be. If we only knew how to make the most out of this, not to seem like we’ve come up with it, but to take advantage as a community with a shared goal.

So, let’s put the example of the elephan in the room. Myself giving a talk in a TEDtalk style, and and elephant next to me. The reaction from the audience, and the elephan becoming and active actor responding to the debate issues that I’m going to put on the table.

What would then be the role of the audience?

How can the chip in the collaborative thinking that’s becoming aroused in the room? This is a greater challenge: not disregarding the collaborative creative effort of peoples real-life expertise, over a super fancy output that has been created from your experience, and the extended capacity that this bloody talking elephant has provided you with.

So the elephant and I have a suggestion. Let’s ask the AI (the elephant would then be asking itself in a tautological tale) how can we make you, the greater audience in the roomm, part of of little collaborative action?

Allow me to set mysefl these two tasks:

  1. Ask chatgpt for an image of the elephant and myself in the room. (should I go realistic? Should I go more illustration? Is is chatgpt or rather another AI tool?)
  2. Ask chatgpt how to make the audience, in a live scenario and a online participatory way, capable of interacting with their inputs in the co-creation of a transformative engagement while using, deliberatly, AI tools. Is it through prompt designing? Could we make them part of the augmented human capacity of doing this together? Let’s make it so it happens in a short intervention of 30 m. Ask for the dynamic and the set up. Also put in a table the online version and the presential. Make it meaningful and engageful.

One more thing. If this was to be an event, only a month away, how do we make it so to build up momentum? What’s the road to those eventful opportunities?

Let’s see what comes out of this.

Expect and elephant.

The art of being yourself

The art hunts me. I’m just a medium. It goes through me. Don’t know where. Don’t know why. But it keeps comming back. It’s a thing that gets caught in the mist of my attention. And I pull in. To see. To wonder. And it pops up, as I’m now conscious of its existance and my particular reaction. Why? Why now? Who are you? What is this?

This sort of ordea never stops, but rather you start to embrace the beauty of living with these exceptional oportunities to wonder. To wonder off. To go outside the dotted line. As there is no longer need to follow the heard. I’ve been alienated. I’m an alien.

It’s here. They are here. I am here. I’m the proof of concept. Beyond myself. Beyond the particularities of my own coordinates. My specific circumstances. How does that make me feel? How does that make you feel? There is something out there I don’t control. You, for example.

Yet my art the becomes the medium of my experience. The structure of my acnowledgment. The intention of my provocative snap. The magicians trick. The hat. The set up. The illusion. It’s there. You see.

I told you I had no say in this.

It just poped out.

And somehow it got caught.

Here.

La camapaña alrevés

Hoy es el último día de la campaña… y también es el primero.

–Algunas veces llego tarde– fue mi respuesta a la pregunta esta que te hacen en las entrevistas de trabajo cuando te piden que expliques alguna debilidad tuya, y que se supone que tienes que resolver con una especie de paradoja positivista. Debes reconocer que tienes debilidades y que no tienes una megalomanía galopante, a no ser que te estés entrevistando para ser el CEO.

Bromas aparte, en su momento, hace ya muchos años, cuando tuve un periodo en el que los responsables de recursos humanos encontraban vacíos en mi persona que ni la mejor respuesta consolaba, pensé en que esta era mi respuesta ideal: algunas veces llego tarde.

–¿Qué tiene eso de positivo?–se pregunta usted, amable lector, con algo de sabiduría y no menos perspicacia. Pues déjeme explicarle, asumiendo que usted no es un loable encargado de recursos humanos juzgando a este humilde servidor. O sí, aquí no vamos a limitar a nadie, y menos todavía discriminarlo. Al grano: ¿acaso es buena señal contratar a alguien que algunas veces llega tarde?

Pues es la verdad. Qué le vamos a hacer. Es así. Me gustaría llegar siempre a tiempo: sin duda. Pero no es verdad. Sería un mentiroso y un hipócrita si lo dijera. Y no me refiero a llegar a tiempo a una reunión. O a una cita, en lo que intento por decoro y empatía al tiempo de los demás estar ahí, inclusive antes, pero algo justo. Aunque también es parte del punto. Por más puntual que quiera ser, a veces pasan cosas. Y hay que saberlo. Para así también saber comunicarlo, con algo de antelación, así sea unos minutos antes de dejar colgada a una persona, avisando, por ejemplo, el tiempo de demora.

Esto aplica también a la gestión de proyectos. A llegar a tiempo a nivel de trabajo programado. Estoy es más ligado a entender de qué manera la gestión de nuestro tiempo y el de nuestros equipos de trabajo está condicionado por una buena organización. Hemos de saber a dónde queremos llegar, y qué nos toca hacer. Y repartir este trabajo con los mecanimos de retroalimentación (feedbackloops) que sean necesarios para que los resultados se consigan en tiempo y forma. Aquí suelo fallar menos. Porque el trabajo requiere de este tipo de organización. Gestionar tu tiempo y el de los demás no es tarea simple. Se aprende, se practica y se crean hábitos y costumbres que hacen que los equipos puedan trabajar en equipo teniendo estos elementos en cuenta.

Pero también hay otra dimensión. A veces llego tarde también expresa una sensación de que voy tarde con aquello que debo hacer, existencialmente hablando. Aquellos llamados creativos y artísticos que no he sido capaz de llevar a cabo. Aquella visión imposible en la que en la que en un momento dado se convirtió en obsesión. Y que se ha ido trabajando con el tiempo. Iterando. Eternamente.

Se trata de un flujo de trabajo. De una manera creativa de vivir. Pero también de una tara. Hay algo ahí que tengo que canalizar. Y que desemboca en un día determinado, en el que finalmente me presento en sociedad. Ese día es hoy.

Este es el inicio de una campaña.

El último día de la misma.

Hola, mi nombre el Golman, y soy el candidato alternativo.

Ah, sí. Y algunas veces llego tarde.

El día de la emergencia colectiva

Hoy es sábado. Las elecciones comenzaron antes de lo previsto para algunos. En mi caso, ya se sabe, algunas veces llego tarde. Y la gran campaña en la que me presento a mi propio procomun, el Tico Commons, no iban a ser la excepción.

El hecho en sí es confuso, no sólo para usted. También lo es para mi. Y mire que yo soy el candidato. Así que tenga usted paciencia. Esto no va de un cambio radical, de un día para el otro. Sino de un cambio ortogonal.

La dirección de hacia donde vamos difiere cuando somos capaces de enterarnos que vivimos en otra dimensión en la que no sabíamos explicar de la manera en la que lo estamos viendo por primera vez en una ilustración.

La ilustración en sí, no es la vedad. Ni mucho menos. Pero representa una explicación que simplifica a través de la más antigua de nuestras artes, la rupestre, la interacción de elementos de nuestro ecosistema, que por la vía matemática quizás nos costaría más entender.

Es por ello que me presento como un candidato alternativo venido del más allá. Como cuando Messi le decía a aquél gigante holandés: andá pallá. Pues yo vengo de pallá. Todo lo que voy a explicar aquí, como bien decía Juan Pablo en su momento de inspiración más sublime, es verdad, aunque no voy a pedirle a nadie que me crea.

La neta, la neta, la neta, lo mio, lo mio, lo mio, es la emergencia colectiva.

Llevo años predicando en el desierto que se va venir un día la emergencia colectiva. Y lo he hecho en núcleos muy pequeños. Con interlocutores diversos. En todos los quinquenios de la pirámide poblacional, y ambos lados de la pirámide.

Pero resulta que la pirámide tiene lados emergentes. Y ellos hacen que la pirámide sagrada de dónde emana mi llamado, sea todavía más poderosa que la última de las pirámides en la que como colectivo, postramos nuestra indiferencia, respeto, violencia o fe.

Estamos en un tiempo convulso y violento. En la escala local y en la global. Nomás hace falta atinar a lo que ponemos atención de lo que pasa en mundo. Algunos medios, algunas noticias, algunos intereses, tienen un megáfono con el que promulgan titulares e historias contrastadas de todo tipo: política nacional, sucesos locales, cotilleos reales o de la calle, faranduleo, cultura, el mundo del espectáculo, deportes (por no decir heteropatriarcalmente que descaradamente más futbol que otra cosa, y más, aún si es masculino, aunque el femenino esté en la final de la champions, y el masculino en su enésima crisis existencial), y lo más importante de todo: el tiempo.

Es dificil opinar cuando no se es de un sitio. Más si se trata de algo tan serio como la política. Más si se trata de la cuna de la civilización, de acuerdo a los blancos europeos mirándose al ombligo. Más si se trata del ágora de la capital de todas las culturas del mediterraneo. Más si se viene de otros mares, si se llegó nadando a la orilla, si se cruzó todo un continente para alcanzar una tierra prometida (¿por quién?), pero lo cierto es que ya estoy aquí. O más bien: ja soc aquí.

NEW saint

Ayer fue Sant Jordi. Un año más. La lectura y la escritura en un mismo sitio coexistiendo con una princesa, un príncipe valiente, un dragón, un rey noble y justo, y un pueblo temeroso que le agradece al porvenir de una ficción estar aquí, sanos y salvos.

Una televisión local que se tira la calle para cubrir el espectáculo nacional más importante de un país que sólo existe en mi cabeza: Ticataluña.

Esto ha sido así por los siglos de los siglos en los que el tiempo se revuelve, multiversadamente, dentro de la narrativa cuántica que se entremezcla en mi cabeza con las excusas de mal pagador para no salir de la burbuja en la que me encuentro atrapado: el no autor.

Sant Jordi es un día de escritores, editores, agentes, libreros, lectoras, libreras, agentas, editoras y escritoras. Al final las que leen son ellas. No nos engañemos. Nosotros intentamos escribir. Y nos mantenemos lejos de poder superarnos a nosotros mismos. Nuestro ego ensimismado en cada paso que damos para no llegar a ninguna parte. Nos perseguimos la cola con la intención de mordérnosla para por fin quedarnos quietos. O contentos. Y nunca se nos da. Ni una cosa, ni la otra.

Pese a todo, el movimiento sigue su curso. Como nuestro planeta alrededor del sol, o en su obstinado giro a la izquierda, como si en el espacio existiera tal cosa, arriba, abajo, al centro y padentro.

No sólo no tiene sentido, sino que tampoco encuentro la manera de plasmar lo que verdaderamente quería decir en un contexto en el que cualquier historias pudiera importar para no aburrir a un lector que no existe, que no quiere leer, y menos a mi. ¿Por qué el suplicio del intento?

Porque el fracaso está en no intentar. Efectivamente Sant Jordi refleja a la pulsión de un pueblo que quiere escribir una historia. Como el resto de los autores que se reflejan en las estructuras de las historias que se narran en formatos que se contemplan en las estructuras habituales de la literatura comparada. Como si eso fuera algo. Ahí vamos otra vez a la crítica a los que hacen, y no a mi idílico mundo de fantasía, que tan bien está, aquí inmaculado sin erosionarse con el roce.

El lector. Eso es lo que no tengo. Tampoco las agallas para salir a buscar a que estas palabras no queden aquí volcadas como un grito a la libertad de permanecer en la sombra. Todo lo que pueda ser necesario. Todo lo que he ganado hasta entonces. Hasta ahora. Hasta que un día previo a la emergencia todo cambia. Ese día el porvenir tiene preparado una singular puesta en escena. Y nosotros, o más bien, uno, debe estar preparado para la transformación definitiva dentro del capullo en el que te has convertido: ünö.

Ünö es uno mismo transformado. De ahí los cuatro puntos. De pronto te han salido cuatro puntos que aparecen en sitios singulares en los que no se les había visto con anterioridad. El nuevo yo tiene esta marca indeleble que nos indica que la tinta ha traspasado la frontera del pasado. En ese contexto de cambio, el tránsito ya no tiene vuelta atrás. Ahí es donde queríamos llegar. Esa es la trampa a la que vamos a asistir. Un día determinado. En un momento dado.

Este pueblo ha tenido suficientes profetas para entender que nuestro porvenir está en otro sitio. Queremos dibujar un contexto nuevo pero se nos han acabado los arquitectos de la casa gran del catalanisme. Y los nuevos arquitéctos nos parecen un poco más sobrios que los modernistas. Por ponernos locales con el desprecio por nosotros mismos, como Domènech i Muntaner enmarcando el Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau Benefactor en contraposición al trazado del Eixample de un Idelfons Cerdà, botifler por excelencia. Como Cambó, que ahora lleva el nombre de la biblioteca dentro del recinto modernista, como para alojar en un mismo sitio sagrado todas las contradicciones con las que la ciencia y la fe se pueden topar en una misma manzana, o nueve, de la frontera del Eixample.

Pero no desviemos la atención de Sant Jordi, que justo lo tenemos todavía en la memoria de un paseo que dimos por nuestra sociedad, en la que los lectores fueron protagonistas, y los escritores amados fueron espectáculo e industria. Es el día más bonito del año. Es el día más NEW barcino de la existencia. Justo porque un Santo que no viene al cuento aparece, viniendo de fuera, y nos salva a todos de un marrón de dimensiones colosales que nos hemos montado a raíz de una historia que nos persigue eternamente.

Cero estrés, full relax. La historia se repite. Lo sabemos. El siglo XX nos lo enseña. Y eso nos aturde un poco. Y nos condiciona a una cuenta atrás en la que no podemos ponernos a bailar charleston. Quizás hay que atender lo que significan los tambores de guerra y las narrativas que alientan las violencias que se producen más allá de nosotros mismos. Y en esa comunión hacia un mito redentor que nos propulse a otra dimensión, ahí, y sólo ahí, es en dónde veo la posibilidad de encaminar la narrativa de un candidato NEW a la presidencia de este país.

Lo dijo ayer un antiguo (puede que el mejor de hace muchos años) candidato a la presidencia de este país, Antonio Baños: los políticos cuentan poco, o nada, en Sant Jordi. Los que molan son los escritores. Y las escritoras, como Carmen Mola. Los políticos, como la ministra que hizo acto de presencia, porque la lectura y la industria editorial siempre es atractiva para que el político de turno se venga a promulgar como adalid de los tiempos de cambio.

Así que haré como Antonio. Plantearé la mejor campaña alternativa que se podría permitir un chico, no tan chico, de extraradio. Más allá de las costuras del propio juego democrático que se desvela ante nosotros. Más allá de la fascinación que tenemos por los espectáculos políticos y televisivos. Este Sant Jordi supone uan vuelta más la página. Y este autor no tiene más remedio que buscarse a si mismo una excusa más para someter sus historias a una audiencia de lectores convocados a una elección: el Tico Commons.

A tribute to my own little nation

A NEW culture begins

It’s election year: 2024.

I was born in the year 76 of the last century. This year there will be 76 elections.

Coincidence? Maybe. But you never know.

You start to see the signs once you have enter in this state of ease within your search and in contact with the awe of the almighty magic around. It’s there. We’ve had several times the illusion of the mighty. It lives within us. Especially when you are an artist. Even more, even, to the ninth dimention, when you are a futbolartist.

It’s not because you say it. You’ve lived it. The seeds of transformation, and the work behind what you do with them to take it to next level. Deliverance at its best.

But there is one sin I have committed, if I must be judgemental with myself, which is just another excuse to try to hide from the circumstances that have enabled me, today, to come out here and say it: I’m ready.

The truth is is I’ve been ready for a while. But I’ve been waiting for the right time. As if that’s something real. Time… oh, time. God… oh, god.

A tiny blue dot… space…

We’ve been given some tools, and a complete set of contradiction that point inward to place the highest grunch against yourself: yourself.

It’s time I heal.

And when I say I, I trully mean you. And I. But when you read I, I understand you feel you, not I, but that in itself is an I. Like the pine tree top, as we like to call it in Spain.

Spain… oh, spain.

Catalonia, oh, catalonia.

There you go… the elefant in the room: dualism.

And there is no better place to aknowledge this than here. Or maybe in the Euskalerria, where my ancestors left, long ago, from the harsh social reality that families live when they decide to leave your small little village, to leap into an adventure towards the unknown, to seek for your own survivable. Elizondo was once full of people with the Elizondo last name. They might have been jews who converted to catholiscism in order to avoid the harship of a different belief system back in the day. But, thank God, things have changed around here.

Have they?

Who am I to say? Really, no one. I’m just the NEW guy. El nou d’un poble nou, like I’d like to portrayed myself in my very own NEW language: ticatalan.

I must warn you: my NEW kingdom is from another dimention.

And that’s not the only warning. Here’s another one: I am the son of the Sun. His name is Father God. And He is to blame for Hetheropatriachy all to Himself. He’s told me to tell you this, along with a NEW testament. The last one.

So, as you can see, I’m also the last evangelist. Things, from our family’s perspective ends here. And therein starts a NEW era. Thank God!

It has not been easy (not for HIM, nor for me, who like you, I’m just human, mostly, and the little bit holy that I know I am, is a human-developed capability that you, yourself, already possess) to come to this understanding. There’s been many spreadsheets, AI designs, algorithms, power struggles, wars,…

NAW is the time.

It’s time for this NEW journey.

Are you ready for it?

I certainly am.
