I am who I am. I am usually very quiet, serious and reserved. Most people will never really know who I am, nor the true extent of what I know. I take 'thinking outside the box' to a whole new level. I am but a humble man with much to tell, but nobody to listen. I know who I am, what I will do and who I will become,...

My name is Fernando, I was born and raised in San Jose, California. I am a Musician, Metalhead, Traditionalist, Pacifist, Rosicrucian(*Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis*), Martinist (*The Traditional Martinist Order*), Freemason, Mystic, Novice Alchemist, Esotericist, Independent Researcher, Fourth Level Paq'o (Mystic Healer Initiate in the Andean/Q'ero Inka Tradition) and 'Alternative Health Practitioner'. My political views would best be described as Socialist, while philosophically I tend to think like a Conservative.

My primary research has to do with shamanic and mystical teachings within various indigenous groups around the Americas. I also compare those practices and teachings in a comparative scope with other cultural groups around the world. I focus on both modern declination of these ancient practices, how they still persist today despite harsh social criticisms and overall the ancient practices (as a foundation) and its preservation through traditions. Another main focus is that of adapting Archaeological & Ethnographical research together so that they may better complement each other in order to understand a bigger picture. In other words, by the use of a cultures interpretation and ‘literal mythology’ gain insight to explain the Archaeological evidence we have. In academic circles such stories are recorded and nothing more. The analysis of mythological evidence needs to be taken into account to some reasonable degree and not discarded as irrelevant or ‘pseudo-science’. If science focuses purely on just the materialistic evidence to explain the history of man, then we become limited to only a one-sided interpretation of a bigger picture.
