Pablo Nuri, a Guatemalan refugee, has difficulty accepting that the only lasting American tradition is doing what the money tells him to do. Yet as he researches and studies history and stories he happens upon a thread of duality that weaves through the fabric of humanity and he feels compelled to trace the stability and changeability of cultures toward destiny. His wife thinks he should get a real job, but Pablo desires to search and find the Twin Houses representing good and evil because he may be able to unite them for a new creation or transcend both if they cannot be manipulated to do his will. Surely there must be more to existence in America than an amoeba dividing into Ronald Reagan and Charles Manson to mitotically spread images that gather followers to cull the herds of their nominal leaders’ opponents. Cell by cell, Pablo believes he is building a freedom to be passed along to the next generation he thinks is becoming imprisoned at each dimensional level.
