Welcome to my site!

In 2004, I published a book entitled Brain & Belief: An Exploration of the Human Soul.  The book was published by AEGIS PRESS and is available at Borders, at amazon.com, and may be ordered through any other book store. 

Currently, I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology and Cognitive Science at UCSD.  I'm studying the religious practices of the Tz'utujil Maya who live on the Western shores of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala.  My phone number here is 4244 6714.  From the US, dial 011 and 502 first.  You may also contact me through the Corazón Maya Spanish School in San Pedro La Laguna.

In the future, I'd like to teach anthropology at a university and write a few more books.

Daily Quote

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.  Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.  

          –George Orwell, 1984
