When God made the first humans, He provided each of them with a body, a spirit, and a conscience. Henceforth, Adam and Eve’s drama in Paradise, and what followed.

But then, already away from Paradise, humankind grew and populated the Earth.

Still, as the Scriptures go, God didn’t abandon them, for by then there was still enough will to provide each human with a body that contained blood, bones, skin, and organs, plus, as a bonus, a spirit and a conscience.

Sometimes emotional pain can open doors you didn’t even know existed. Indeed, it can become an unsolicited invitation for you to listen to yourself, to your soul. By listening to yourself, you may change your perspective on your emotions, which are the root of your suffering; love being the first emotion affected.

If you want to live a healthy spiritual and mental life, you have choices that can transform you for the better.

1.- Rise to the highest planes you can imagine.

2.- Go into the deepest corners of yourself.

3.- Explore the surface prudently: discipline yourself, think critically, and beware of false prophets and temptations.

To serve the people or be served by the people?

To become God in His Power, or to be God in His goodness?

Which leader on Earth uses his power to do good to all his citizens with no distinctions?

The paradox is that throughout their history, human beings, mostly males, have yearned for divine power, even though they are clearly limited creatures shaped by appetite, fear, and ambition: Attila, Caligula, Genghis Khan, King Leopold II of Belgium, Stalin, Hitler, to name a few.

It might sound Utopian, and it’s not.

Throughout the history of humankind, leaders have used and abused power and fear to condition the masses to think and believe they are free.

I’ve finally arrived at Senescence Island.

It took me eighty years to arrive here.

I wouldn’t say it was smooth sailing.

Monsters I’d to fight.

Storms kept me adrift.

When we revisit an event from the past, only fragmented images of it come to mind. Others may share some of these images, but each person holds different pieces and interprets them differently. Nothing in the mind has texture or material substance, yet the physicality of the present still permeates the past. We may possess a house, furniture, papers, and other objects, but the images we retain of them exist only in the brain.

Pain is a personal feeling. No one can feel your pain the way you feel it, whether physical or emotional, but this does not mean you are alone with your pain.

The old man

Doesn’t look towards his future.

He looks inwards towards his past.

Searching for the answers he never found outside

But which he could have found within himself

Had he asked them in time.

The future is swift as a thought, light, and slippery.

It’s here and then gone.

The future is like fireworks. It’s dreams, colours, fire and smoke.

You can’t live in the future.

You slip, and you are in the present.

We loved them in our childhood;

Our fairy tales.

Princes and princesses in our dreams,

Witches, magicians, and fairies

Merlin and Camelot

We loved them in our grandmother’s voice

Oh Freedom! Oh Justice! Oh Truth! How many more crimes must a man commit in your name for you to become real?

Let’s focus on freedom.

"I am a servant of God, and I kneel before Him and present Him my sword, with which I have killed dozens of my enemies, and I have done it with His Help and Blessing."

This very same thought and scene, recorded in history and literature, has come to us from immemorial times. It completely portrays the human condition.

Only that now we do it not with swords, but with bombs and missiles.

I was in love, and I learned from it

Lessons I would never forget

Nested in my heart like a sparrow

Burning, like an arrow

Seared my soul like glowing coal

I see Jesus in your eyes,

And in the eyes of those around us,

And in the eyes beyond our sight.

Then farther still,
And I see Him in my own eyes.

I see Jesus in your eyes.

You cleared my doubt:

In prehistoric times, man lived in a cave: dark, obscure, and cold. In time, he learned to light it and warm it with fire. The cave then became his home, his fortress, his country.

Around the fire, within the cave, civilization began.

All this is history now.

And yet, the story continues because, although man left the cave, the cave remains embedded in his mind.

I told her I loved her and kissed her

But she did not answer my kisses.

Yet that night, I still dreamed of her.

The next day, silence answered my call.

Dear friend,

I believe that if you place your name as an author and your book’s title on social media and other platforms as often as you can, your book will eventually reach its audience.

Many forces move us throughout our lives: class, health, trauma, family structure, historical conditions, discrimination, and opportunity. These are practical, visible, and tangible forces. Yet, there are others, more metaphysical, of which we barely understand, that still quietly shape our existence.

I want to excise myself from this life with its dictatorship of illnesses

Accidents, incidents, tragedies, and progress.

Its democracy of happiness, be it love, be it money, be it health

Be it shopping

But no freedom at all, alas, never freedom, unless one thinks
