الحياة لم تبد لي أحيانًا شكلًا من أشكال المعقول كأنها لوحة سريالية أشبە بحلم.. بل تفسر أحيانًا بخلط الواقع بالخيال، ولا أدري إذا كنت واعيًا لواقعي أم هائمًا في بحر الخيال أم هي مجرد تأملات شاردة تهاجمني في صحوتي ومنامي هربًا من واقع مفروض؟! يبدو أن البحر سمع هواجسي وقرأ أفكاري فاخترقت إحدى موجاتە رأسي لتعيدني إلى صوابي.

Transcurre por la gran alegoría de las páginas que contienen al mundo y lo reproducen mientras un eco está saliendo de una voz y una sombra de una hora del día. La obra nos adentra en cuadros, imágenes, estatuas, cuartos, calles, relatos, parajes, símbolos que son el ningún lado de todos los lados que inspirara alguna vez la recreación del Aleph. Hay aquí otros laberintos. Las puertas y los pasadizos son también perdurables.

Semejantes a Dios es una ficción sonora deslumbrante en la que El Quijote de la Mancha entabla un diálogo filosófico, místico y científico con Anaïs Nin, Hildegarda de Bingen, Schopenhauer, Safo, Nietzsche, entre otros pensadores de todas las épocas. Sus voces, finamente entretejidas, exploran el vértigo de ser —sin saberlo— imagen y semejanza de D/os, y tensionan los límites entre la locura, la creación y lo divino.
