TENGO TIEMPO (from the series Top Mantras)

Mantras are mental instruments for enlightenment.

Mantras are crushing words for prayer.

Mantras are elementary vibrations for creation.

On this occasion, we will instrumentalize the word “time”, after first crushing the word “man” and we'll see what form the crushing takes... Like one of those verbena plasters that are put around the throat to cure tonsillitis.
