Within the Mediterranean construction tradition, sacred architecture has always played a very prominent role, giving rise to the most numerous and best preserved historical buildings prior to the 18th century that have survived. Throughout 5,000 years the visual plot has been shown as the systematic alphabet that Mediterranean cultures have used to write multiple architectural accounts of a sacred and ceremonial nature. We will begin this memory — a true travel notebook — by presenting what the Christian temples of discipline have taught us. Then we travel to Egypt, Rome and finally to Malta and Gozo. The systematicity and similarities in the crystallization of the ideological discourse were incredible and we invite the reader to verify those teachings. To facilitate this, the text includes more than 360 sketches and 300 images of more than 200 buildings belonging to 17 countries.

¿Qué sucederá después del 2012? Algunas culturas predijeron el fin de nuestro mundo y la idea está generando un pánico colectivo absurdo. El autor cree que después de esa fecha habrá una gran transformación que durará varios siglos, pero el 2012, en especial, traerá una serie de eventos que nos llevarán a un nivel de consciencia diferente. El libro narra una experiencia -producto de diversas meditaciones- en la que el autor entra en contacto con un ser evolucionado, el cual proviene de otro sistema solar y de otra época y ambos sueñan una posible visión del futuro. Pero, ¿cómo serán las sociedades en el futuro? ¿Qué tiene que hacer la humanidad para mejorar? ¿Qué tendremos que hacer todos los humanos para salir del embrollo en que se encuentra actualmente nuestra civilización? Pues, sin duda, nuestras sociedades están enfermas y colapsando sobre sí mismas. El autor pretende dar respuesta a la pregunta: ¿que debe desaparecer para crear esa Edad de Oro que muchos anhelamos? Deberemos renunciar a las creencias y a las ideologías, pero sobre todo a la política y a las actuales formas de control de la gente a través del miedo. Se dará la desaparición de las Instituciones, los gobiernos, las religiones y filosofías que hipnotizan y nos imponen códigos de conducta. Sin duda, será necesaria una nueva economía: deberá dejarse la economía de la acumulación y deberán desaparecer el dinero y el mercantilismo, que tanto sufrimiento han generado; también deberán desaparecer las normas que nos rigen, pues seguramente con menos leyes o tal vez sin leyes, todo mejorará. En la parte final del libro se habla de cómo la humanidad todavía tendrá que enfrentarse a grandes sufrimientos, probablemente a guerras y cataclismos que le permitirán conseguir ese nivel de consciencia diferente y se tiene una visión de cómo será la sociedad del futuro: como vivirán los humanos de esa época indeterminada, que será como un regreso al paraíso. En esa nueva sociedad ya no existirá el trabajo, como medio de subsistencia, ni el dinero; ya nadie acumulará ni vivirá obsesionado por tener más. El crédito y la mayor parte de las profesiones existentes en ésta época ya no tendrán razón de ser. Se tiene una visión clara de la forma de sus comunidades, y sobre la educación en ese tiempo futuro donde cada ser encontrará su propósito y su misión de vida. El autor se presenta bajo el seudónimo de "El Hombre" por considerar que el libro contiene sabiduría que es propiedad de toda la humanidad y porque cree que la transformación de nuestras sociedades depende de el nivel de conciencia que cada ser humano logre en lo individual.

José Martí's Liberative Political Theology argues that Martí's religious views, which at first glance might appear outdated and irrelevant, are actually critical to understanding his social vision. During a time in which the predominant philosophical view was materialistic (e.g., Darwin, Marx), Martí sought to reconcile social and political trends with the metaphysical, believing that ignoring the spiritual would create a soulless approach toward achieving a liberative society. As such, Martí used religious concepts and ideas as tools that could bring forth a more just social order. In short, this book argues Martí could be considered a precursor to what would come to be called liberation theology. Miguel De La Torre has authored the most comprehensive text written thus far concerning Martí's religious views and how they affected his political thought. The few similar texts that exist are written in Spanish, and most of them romanticize Martí's spirituality in an attempt to portray him as a “Christian believer.” Only a handful provide an academic investigation of Martí's theological thought based solely on his writings, and those concentrate on just one aspect of Martí's religious influences. José Martí's Liberative Political Theology allows for mutual influence between Martí's political and religious views, rather than assuming one had precedence over the other.
