#1. What it is all about


LáDosLadosDeLá, or FromTheOtherSide, is a geographical location.  By definition, it is the kingdom of Beyonds - that one Superman flies into after his "up, up, and away", and exactly the same one caravel-men sailed to a couple of years ago (yes, those same people who have mistakenly reached FromThisSide).  It is the place where those who have died live nowadays and, in its condition of special location, it is the preferential asylum for the families of those Who Have Not Been Touched by Knowledge and to that of the Unknown by Science.  In fact, in FromTheOtherSide reside all those who refuse to be known, and surely they do not speak the language of scientific discipline.  FromTheOtherSide is inhabited by those who we cannot see as One: 1. the disposable pieces that have never reached the form of a meaningful organism and defy all metaphysical convictions; 2.  the unlimited, boundary-free ones, that being as wide as they are we cannot dare to conceive - the infinite, the immortal and their relatives.  We get close    ...   and it's already gone.  It is a place that resist descriptions but accept pictorial approximations.  It defies meaning but invites experience.

- Just like a bicycle ride, my metaphor of life, for it implies constantly being and leaving somewhere at the same time.
- Like that which beyond the physical reality I feel    alone    in my own body    when I'm lying on my yoga mat.
- Exactly like my definitely arrogant vegetarian dignity.

Those are the things I want to talk about.  And I want to talk about it FromTheOtherSide - the asymmetrical countercouncept of FromThisSide, of everything that is already known, of the homeland.  As a matter of fact, FromTheOther Side is this house that has a sort of a decadent sign in which Exile is written in pale golden letters.  Welcome: it can be your home too, if you wish so.
