Dr. Pedro ‘Rayo’ Cortina
Perception & Field Decoder
I offer clarity
…through events, books, art, poetry, performance, readings, and leadership initiatives. 1:1 sessions are rare, but you can apply for them here.
I help people make sense of themselves and their spaces, not by suggesting new lists of “shoulds” or “shoudln’ts”, but by clearing the noise so they can see and access genuine insight, alignment, and drive.
This offer is for anyone navigating change, creative process, relational dynamics, some form of misalignment, or business / entrepreneurship challenge.
Some people are not ready for this work. That’s okay.
This work is not disruptive, but it is clarifying. And clarity can feel unfamiliar if you’re used to confusion. What I offer is a clarity-access field. One that allows you to discover genuine drive, not through pushing and tension, but through self recognition. I call this space ZEROSPACE.
What is Zerospace
ZEROSPACE is a space of clear knowing. A space of seeing behind the noise, where meaning and knowing isn’t constructed or imposed, but realized. It is a place to find clarity before bias, assumptions, reactivity, and socialized performance. It is where perception becomes clear, precise, and your way of seeing becomes your way of moving.
Why is Zerospace Important
Because countless people are overwhelmed by noise.
Because clarity doesn’t arrive through effort, but through insight.
Because we forget how to access this knowing.

About Me
I was shaped in Mexico City, among noise, rhythm, contradiction, and depth. I was then distilled in Vancouver for two decades doing the hard inner work to finally open further in Victoria’s air. Along the way, I moved through philosophy, coaching, visual art, and the written word, not collecting roles, but distilling perception. I’ve always been drawn to what is alive before it’s constricted by our own assumptions, projections, and bias.
ZEROSPACE emerged not as something I made, but something I began to recognize. A space I had been walking toward long before I could name it. Now I offer this space to others. Not to teach, but to hold a field where perception sharpens, and the powerful truth beneath artificial performance becomes clear again.

In a study by the University of Bern, Zerospace accessed through IBC™ was shown to create sustained reductions in self-sabotaging patterns, including doubt, jealousy, fear, and mental rumination.
Key finding:
“Even a single session showed statistically significant shifts in mental clarity, emotional regulation, and decisional confidence—results maintained over time.”
