Turnout for the Indivisible Ecuador No Kings protest rally was the largest we've ever seen. Thanks to all who helped make it possible, and all who attended!

Wonders never cease. I just got word that the publisher of my book on Texas Archeology had been acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing, UK.

It languished under Rowman and Littlefield for decades. So, it looks like I may be getting royalties from it again.

100 thousand marched against the gold mining project in Kimsakocha. The permit had been revoked. The water will flow untouched and uncontaminated.

Ancestral Wisdom

As darkness overtakes us from the east, we kindle a fire. Our fire doesn't banish the dark; it preserves the light. Around it we gather. We hold one another in respect. This is how we overcome the darkness: one circle of light, then another. And in time, the daylight returns.

Meditate on Presence

Stay grounded
Bare feet on the earth
Breathe in life
Breathe out presence

Ground and sky extend us
Life enfolds us
Presence confirms us

Power of Threefold

Life, like an instrument, needs to be kept in tune. When we emit with care, we don’t just shape ourselves, we shape the resonance of the world around us.

And when it comes back threefold, it’s the environment reminding us how powerful every gesture truly is.

Why Ayni?
At this late stage of my life, I feel called to live in reciprocity:
to seed harmony where discord has reigned.

My hope is simple:
that my friends, near and far,
might feel a resonance in their own lives.
Each circle becomes a muyu,
each gesture a seed of Ayllu Pacha—
a world community.

• The shamanic practices I’ve witnessed aren’t theatrical or symbolic

They’re methods of temporal alignment

All of it works to tune the mind, the body; the field of the self to a deeper current

A shaman doesn’t float through space...he listens across time

• I used to think spiritual practice was about seeking some higher state. But I’ve come to see it differently. It’s not about reaching up. It’s about tuning in. The practice is clearing interference, making space, honoring the moment I’m in, honoring the place I stand—and letting that be enough.

MetaKosmos is a transcendental paradigm—an open, integrative framework that defines the conditions for knowing reality. It affirms the value of science and mathematics while recognizing the limits of empiricism, uniting measurable phenomena within a continuous, coherent universe.
