Technique – The Divine Touch
“Discover the creative force shaping technology, architecture, and the soul”
What if the greatest miracle of our time is not a divine revelation or a scientific discovery—but the bridge between them?
Technique – The Divine Touch is the first book ever to integrate the central paradigms of modern science—from physics to systems theory, from biology to cybernetics—to unveil the true nature of technique as a living, creative force. Far from being a neutral tool or cold mechanism, technique is shown here as the dynamic power that silently determines how civilizations rise, how economies evolve, and how architecture molds not just our cities but our sense of self.
Miguel A. Fernandez brings to light how the way we build, shape, and manipulate matter is not a secondary byproduct of our culture—it is the core driver of history, identity, and vision. Whether in a digital interface, a skyscraper, or a simple handcrafted tool, technique reveals itself as the decisive agent through which humanity encounters the world and discovers meaning.
Yet this is not a technocratic book. Quite the opposite: it is a journey toward rediscovering the sacred dimension of doing, building, and transforming. It presents a luminous path through which science, craft, art, and the human spirit converge—reminding us that every technological gesture, from the forge to the algorithm, bears the imprint of something transcendent.
Technique – The Divine Touch invites the reader to awaken to the miracle of form and function, to recognize the divine hand within their own capacity to act, and to reimagine technology not as a threat to humanity, but as its deepest mirror and most faithful ally.
Heart to the Ground
“Seventeen push-ups. Seventeen breath crises. One shared will to live”
Behind every world record lies a story. But not every story has a heart like this one.
Heart to the Ground is not just the testimony of an extraordinary physical feat—it is the intimate, raw, and luminous chronicle of the bond between a son and his dying mother. Before sponsors, organizers, or media attention existed, there was only silence. And in that silence, one voice alone believed in the impossible: the voice of a mother whose own fight for life, breath by breath, kindled a fire in her son that no external validation could ever ignite.
While the world saw a man performing superhuman one-arm push-ups, what it did not see was the quiet room in which a gravely ill woman endured 17 breath crises since 2019—each one nearly fatal, each one met with unyielding dignity. It was not admiration, not public applause, that gave shape to this record-breaking act. It was devotion. It was the sacred act of honoring the invincible spirit of a mother preparing for death with the same courage her son would later bring to the floor—heart to the ground, rising seventeen times.
Miguel A. Fernandez offers in this book an unfiltered account of what it truly means to fight. Not for trophies or records, but for truth. He lays bare how, before his Guinness World Record attempt became official in 2021, his commitment was misunderstood, even resented by those around him. Only when the media gave it visibility did others offer their kindness—but by then, the only light that mattered was the one that had never flickered: his mother’s faith.
This book is a testimony to love in action, to the transformation of grief into purpose, and to the unbreakable link between inner strength and outer accomplishment. It reminds us that the greatest victories are not those that come after applause—but those forged in silence, when nobody is watching, and when everything seems lost.
For as the author puts it:
“Once we are born our bodies are already prepared to win, but what we must prepare our spirit is for losing our bodies; and we are all going to lose them”
Divine Proportion versus Entropy
“Where energy flows, beauty grows: the Golden Ratio revealed”
For centuries, the Golden Ratio has dazzled artists, architects, and mystics with its sublime presence in nature, art, and form. But what if its elegance goes far deeper than visual beauty? What if this ancient proportion is not merely aesthetic—but energetic? Thermodynamic? Miraculous?
In Divine Proportion versus Entropy, Miguel A. Fernandez invites readers on a unique intellectual and poetic journey—one that bridges the visible harmony of natural forms with the hidden order of physical laws. This book is the result of a lifetime devoted to understanding energy: not just as a physical quantity, but as a principle that governs both beauty and power, chaos and order, matter and life.
From the spiral of galaxies to the curvature of the human ear, from muscular dynamics in elite athletic performance to the growth patterns of plants, Fernandez reveals how the Golden Ratio frequently arises as a natural solution to thermodynamic constraints. The Golden Ratio is shown not just as a mathematical oddity—but as a subtle fingerprint of self-organization, resilience, and optimization under energetic tension.
Accessible to the general public yet layered with insight for physicists, engineers, and scholars, Divine Proportion versus Entropy weaves together disciplines too often kept apart—physics and philosophy, aesthetics and mechanics, intuition and calculus. The result is a groundbreaking synthesis that offers both a tribute to nature’s intelligence and a new paradigm for understanding life’s efficiency and grace.
Whether you’re an artist intrigued by sacred geometry, a scientist searching for unifying principles, or a curious reader drawn to the harmony of the universe, this book will awaken your sense of wonder—and give you tools to see the hidden order behind life’s most beautiful forms.
“The Golden Ratio isn’t just beautiful—it’s powerful”
The Operative Flame
“To work is to shape—and to shape is to awaken”
What if the true transformation of the world began not with external revolutions, but with the rediscovery of how we form things—how we shape tools, build shelters, engage with nature, and discipline our own hands, minds, and hearts?
In The Operative Flame: A Path of Transformation Through Form, Craft, and Inner Fire, Miguel A. Fernandez invites readers into the living heart of what he calls “Operative Tradition”—a dynamic way of engaging with reality where technique, craft, and the human spirit unite in a creative dialogue with the Earth. Based on his multi-volume series Operative Traditions, this book distills and translates those foundational ideas into an accessible and inspiring guide for a wider audience.
From restoring our connection with materials and meaning, to reclaiming the dignity of craft and the sacredness of form, The Operative Flame illuminates a worldview where every action—when performed with care, intelligence, and presence—becomes a ritual of transformation.
More than a philosophical reflection, this book is a key to understanding how all of Miguel A. Fernandez’s projects—his Guinness World Record achievement, the Fondo Natural initiative, the challenge to science, and his literary synthesis—are unified by an operative understanding of the world. This is a book about the fire that burns at the core of every true work: the flame that shapes, purifies, and reveals.
For readers weary of abstraction and hungry for a return to grounded, powerful meaning, The Operative Flame offers not just ideas—but a path. A path where intellect and body work together, where nature and technique find balance, and where the smallest act of creation can open the door to the cosmos.
The Wilderness Within
“Where nature ends and technique begins, the true self is revealed”
What if the way to heal your inner world began by listening—truly listening—to the silence of forests, the rhythm of oceans, and the wisdom of the land beneath your feet?
In The Wilderness Within: An Eco-Psychological Path to Healing and Transformation, Miguel A. Fernandez opens the door to a deeply personal journey—one that began not in books or theories, but in the intimate and often solitary act of turning to nature for grounding, for sanity, and for truth. As a teenager caught between the fragmented values of modern culture, his move from London to Galicia marked the beginning of a radical inner reorientation. Through an almost ascetic devotion to the natural world, he began to tame the emotional chaos within, finding in nature’s mystery and form a mirror for his own being.
This early eco-psychological discipline—cultivated through observation, silence, and awe—gave rise to the first outlines of the Fondo Natural project in 2003, a visionary attempt to recover the sacred bond between human imagination and the living Earth. But when the project collapsed in 2007, Fernandez was forced to confront a deeper question: is nature alone enough to carry the weight of modern alienation?
The Wilderness Within is not only a testimony of personal healing through nature. It is also a turning point—an honest reckoning with the power of technique in shaping the modern psyche. Fernandez explores how true healing must not only rediscover the miracles of the wild but also grasp the creative and invasive power of human-made systems. In doing so, he argues for an expanded eco-psychology—one that integrates the fire of nature with the fire of invention.
This is a book for seekers. For those who feel the fracture between soul and world. For those who want to walk again, barefoot and alert, into a life where healing means not escaping society, but facing it with new eyes, new strength, and a deep inner flame.
The Solar Warrior Reborn
“The path of the Solar Warrior—walked, tested, and revealed”
What happens when a philosophical ideal is no longer just an idea—but a life lived?
Twelve years after the publication of the original Solar Warrior trilogy, Miguel A. Fernandez returns—not to revise, but to complete the vision. In this new work, The Solar Warrior Reborn, the archetype of the Solar Warrior is no longer merely a philosophical construct or historical echo. It becomes an existential path, tested through years of trials, inner confrontations, and real-world challenges—from the depths of psychological struggle to the heights of physical mastery, from profound personal solitude to a public challenge that defies scientific orthodoxy.
Originally conceived as a trilogy outlining the ethical and metaphysical architecture needed to confront the rising tide of systemic conformity, technological dehumanization, and spiritual atrophy, the Solar Warrior essays were a call to arms—a manifesto for those still willing to embody courage, clarity, and sacrifice in an age that celebrates comfort and compromise.
But what if those ideas had to be lived?
The Solar Warrior Reborn is a bold reckoning: a candid, often intimate journey of a man who dared to walk the path he once only described. It confronts the question at the heart of the original trilogy: Can one still become a Solar Warrior today? And if so, what does that path truly demand—physically, spiritually, and emotionally?
Merging philosophical insight with autobiographical depth, this book is not only a continuation of a previous intellectual vision—it is its personal trial by fire. From the training that led to his world record in one-arm push-ups, to the silence of caretaking during his mother’s final battles, to the spiritual stakes behind a public wager that challenges the foundations of physics—every chapter of Fernandez’s life becomes a mirror to the ethos he once defined.
This is not just a book. It is the lived myth of the Solar Warrior, reborn through experience.An ancient archetype. A modern trial. A life reborn.
Scent of a Man
A Tale of Lost Honor, Unseen Battles, and an Unexpected Bond
“Some scars never fade. Some spirits never die”
What happens to a soldier when the war ends—but the wounds remain?
Set in the year 2020, Scent of a Man picks up the invisible thread left decades earlier by Scent of a Woman (Al Pacino, 1998), not by repeating its steps, but by deepening its soul. In this powerful and intimate narrative, we meet a much older Frank Slade—not just blind, but now a ghost of what he once was: a forgotten hero, discarded by the very country he once served with unmatched excellence. In the 1970s, Slade was the most promising operative in the U.S. military—a man of precision, brilliance, and loyalty. But as the decades passed, his descent mirrored that of the military institution itself: from noble service to geopolitical spectacle; from meaning to media.
Yet just when his solitude seems absolute, a seismic encounter shakes his world: Iry, a 16-year-old girl on the edge of despair, whose fight lies not on a battlefield but in the unforgiving halls of her high school—an institution hijacked by the disorienting force of novel technologies, where identity, memory, and truth are compromised. She seeks out Slade, not for comfort, but for combat: she wants to learn from the best—his tactics, his courage, his clarity—to face an invisible enemy embedded in her generation’s psyche.
As this unlikely bond unfolds, Scent of a Man becomes more than a mentorship story—it becomes a reflection on time, loyalty, masculinity, trauma, and the ruins of ideals. It asks:
Can an old soldier still serve a purpose in a world where everything is digitized, virtualized, and commodified?
Can a disillusioned warrior light a fire in a soul not yet extinguished by cynicism?
And most mysteriously… what truth lies at the heart of Slade’s past, waiting to be uncovered by Iry?
With echoes of The Last Samurai, Gran Torino, and Good Will Hunting, this novel-script delivers gripping emotional intensity, strategic depth, and timeless questions about what it means to live with honor in a dishonorable world.
