what is on being?

ON BEING is a psychological, self-referential, metaphysical, diary case history in series format, where the author J. Guzmán, as the protagonist Ana, psychoanalyzes herself throughout Time, uses astrology to facilitate the investigation, and documents the entire process.

ON BEING is a life-long, archival data set of J. Guzmán’s existence, chronicling the evolution of her consciousness in a first-person, self-reflective narrative. Its purpose is to assist astrologers and other researchers, like psychologists and philosophers, in the detailed demonstration of how their respective theories, methods, and techniques function in practice in a real life. It is essentially the raw data necessary for a longitudinal, qualitative research project analyzing the experience of being human.
