My feet, hands and face are bleeding. I clamored with anguish, for help and consolation, but I was thrown stones, rubbish and they took me for a madman, for a thief and a fool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my confusion, I went into more darkness and I lost guidance in the path. The love that once smiled, now shouted with disdain, saying that it hates me and feels repulsion. My soul was insulted, did not want to answer, and as withered lily, tried to find a place to die, but in the deepest part of my soul, a voice denied the rejection and wanted me to recognize that although the darkness may be absolute and profound, the sun will shine again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cold may be very intense, may dry and open my skin, but my blood is warm. Love may reject, hate me, but my love will not answer the same way because I believe in a greatest Truth, larger than suffering, anguish, pain, misery and abandonment. I believe in a greater power. I truly believe in Love and my wounds will heal and the wind will pass and the shadows of the night, will dissipate. My steps will find a true beginning with beautiful flowers, crystal lagoons, where to clean my wounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My face does not need to be confused with rejection, my tongue does not need to dry and my soul does not need to die, because I believe in a superior power, called Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will defeat hatred, I will defeat the evil that was threatening and confusing me. And that withered lily, will live again and as resplendent torch, my heart, in spite of everything, will never cease to Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:yourhealingart@aol.com"&gt;yourhealingart@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New!

What would be of the sea, without waves and foam and without its blue color? How the night would look without stars? How would the human face look without a smile? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will it be like a heart that does not go on beating, that does not palpitate , and agitates because does not love, does not feel, does not want, because the illusion has died? Will it be like a drifting ship? Or perhaps, will it be like madness? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all those who have lost illusion. They must know that they still have to meet destiny. And that reality is calling them. They certainly, must make good, a reality. And they must add, a grain of sand to the spiritual work every day. And if they act like this, then it will be reciprocal in man and towards God. And they must turn their minds and words into sincere expressions of worthiness and charity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because, what is sunlight for those who can't see? But even blinder is the one who is able to do good and does evil instead. He becomes a broken branch and has a cruelty worse than death, since he wants everything from life, but without any kind of participation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God calls us towards a conscious Love. Life must be stable and diligent.

He had put together all his possessions even some money. And he was throwing them away. The money was blown away by the wind in the street. And soon all his belongings disappeared and then there was nothing left. The people scolded the Madman, saying: " You not only threw away all your possessions but all that you had. Now you will have misery and needs. You are crazy! " And he said: " All that can be sold, all that can be bought, will always be superficial and passing, will always come to an end. That is the end of all power and wealth and if I do not have any possessions, then I will be able to reach what overcomes the material value. I will have what I have and nobody will be able to take this away from me. Then, my worth is true and superior." But he was not understood and said: " If you cannot find the primordial value, then, even if you have and keep possessions, you will have nothing because they will possess you. I am not slave to nobody. And nobody is my owner. I live in total madness. This world called this madness, but I called it Freedom. How much is this worth? It does not have a price. That is its true value." But people shouted again: " You are crazy." While he kept smiling. Then, everything passed and people went back to treasure their riches. And the Madman went through great needs. But at the end of the day, he seemed happy, serene and calmed, while the others went through life hidden among bars and chains. And the Madman, would tell them: " If your riches do not buy your freedom and you do not have peace, then, your riches are not true."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Videos to watch and to share with your friends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/VIDEOS.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/VIDEOS.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspirational Products&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/Index_Stores.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/Index_Stores.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the Newsletter and the Daily Healing Touch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/Newsletter.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/Newsletter.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-6720567560986928991?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/6720567560986928991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=6720567560986928991' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/6720567560986928991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/6720567560986928991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2010/06/true-freedom.html' title='True Freedom'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/TCANUAwdVbI/AAAAAAAACVI/9JyhxjW-qlE/s72-c/215-V-Aiki-14-480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-2786343375387556661</id><published>2010-05-23T18:22:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-23T18:22:11.385-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Faith'/><title type='text'>The Light between My Hands</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S_mkWoF1NGI/AAAAAAAACUY/_HXL23SzJ20/s1600/96-P-a-70x480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S_mkWoF1NGI/AAAAAAAACUY/_HXL23SzJ20/s320/96-P-a-70x480.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I had a small light between my hands but a strong wind came and blew it out.And I felt cold and looked for a torch, which gave me light and warmth but the wind came back and blew out the fire of the torch.&lt;/div&gt;Then, I put together one thousand and even more torches but the wind came back, blew and blew and put them out.&lt;br /&gt;I looked at the sky and there was a star and I said: "There, is light" but the wind moved the clouds over and I could not found the star anymore. &lt;br /&gt;Everything became darker and the wind became icier blowing with great force and even seemed to shout me; the sky seemed to fall down on me. I felt cold again and started shivering, I could not see, it was as facing an abyss, which was everywhere, without horizon, without been able to tell up or down apart, it was total darkness. I felt alone but when darkness seemed to be in total control of everything, then, a light appeared and I felt warmth and I could see what I could not see before and I looked beyond, even beyond the stars, I crossed the clouds, the sky and everything was opened to me, I got my strength back and was strengthened even more as that light was getting bigger.&lt;br /&gt;And I asked: "What's your name?" And she answered with only one word that ends all darkness, all loneliness, all discouragement and lack of hope when she said: " My name although small is the greatest among all names: Faith."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspirational Blogs to Read and to Share&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/Links_Blogs_English.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/Links_Blogs_English.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiritual Trivia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/Trivia_Spirituality_Educational_Free_Online.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/Trivia_Spirituality_Educational_Free_Online.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-2786343375387556661?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/2786343375387556661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=2786343375387556661' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2786343375387556661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2786343375387556661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2010/05/light-between-my-hands.html' title='The Light between My Hands'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S_mkWoF1NGI/AAAAAAAACUY/_HXL23SzJ20/s72-c/96-P-a-70x480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-4881476116487073399</id><published>2010-02-27T20:01:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-27T20:01:50.894-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Beauty'/><title type='text'>The Search for Beauty</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S4m_218S5OI/AAAAAAAACTI/Q-XBmeY6VYU/s1600-h/40-S-O-152x640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kt="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S4m_218S5OI/AAAAAAAACTI/Q-XBmeY6VYU/s320/40-S-O-152x640.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Wisdom is not nourished so much by knowledge as by the experience. Time allows us to see the truth by reflecting on it.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the story of a wise man, criticized by many and understood by few.&lt;br /&gt;Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he used to say: ” Leave at once, because you only hide your ugliness.”&lt;br /&gt;And to the not so beautiful, he would say: ” How much beauty you have, you are only hiding it a little bit.”&lt;br /&gt;It was evident how upsetting and uncomfortable this was for many but at the same time, some recognized his wisdom.&lt;br /&gt;Somebody dared to ask him: ” Why do you talk to those women in that way? Can your eyes see well or is there a hidden message that nobody has been able to decipher?”&lt;br /&gt;And the wise man answered in a very kind way: ” Since you are looking for the truth and because your question is sincere, I will reveal the answer.”&lt;br /&gt;Then, he pointed to a very beautiful flower: What do you see here?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;“Beauty, exuberance” said the man who asked.&lt;br /&gt;” In a few days, it will become a withered flower, the true beauty has to overcome the passing of time, otherwise, is like a spell, a passing fantasy where we can confuse truth. And now, look to the other side, to that withered flower, what do you see there?” said the wise man.&lt;br /&gt;” I see old age, death, I don’t see beauty” said the man asking.&lt;br /&gt;” There, I see beauty because it was what inspired her to be what she was in life. And this is what we always must search for: Inner beauty, this does not mean that I don’t see the surface or that I don’t understand it but I want to warn with my attitude that it is necessary to look beyond, since what is beauty? Beauty is virtue.&lt;br /&gt;Search for virtue and you will always have beauty in front of you.” said the wise man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;~ Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;br /&gt;contact the author and artist with your questions and feedback&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:yourhealingart@aol.com"&gt;yourhealingart@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-4881476116487073399?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/4881476116487073399/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=4881476116487073399' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/4881476116487073399'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/4881476116487073399'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2010/02/search-for-beauty.html' title='The Search for Beauty'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S4m_218S5OI/AAAAAAAACTI/Q-XBmeY6VYU/s72-c/40-S-O-152x640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-654383443288178173</id><published>2010-02-13T10:03:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-13T10:05:53.400-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freedom'/><title type='text'>I want to be as the River...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S3a_BrWfWmI/AAAAAAAACSo/deTduYpiZVc/s1600-h/62Aa-B-21-640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/S3a_BrWfWmI/AAAAAAAACSo/deTduYpiZVc/s320/62Aa-B-21-640.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to be as the river, free, happy, smiling, without chains, unbiased, but nobody seems to understand, that life is a strict system to control and judge. That is why, I am crazy, and I laugh when the others cry, when they cry wanting to reach fame and glory, that my mind cannot understand. I enjoy the flight of the bird but people want to put it in a cage. I want the animals free in the forest, but all the others want to put it in a cage. I am mad because I live in a world that is too different and insolent, they all think that they are gods, while I don't think that I am special. I want to live in a house without doors and windows but people want doors and windows hard and heavy so nobody can enter or leave.&lt;br /&gt;They cry their dead, while I am happy because they left and their souls are free, they fly by the sky, but people cannot see or understand this. Who am I? I am nobody, but they are the masters of the world, they are sane and enraptured with something that I will never understand.

Now I realize that I suffer from a great madness."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, people approached him saying:" Look Madman, maybe you are getting better because you are recognizing your madness."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And he answered: " No, no, it is not like that. I am crazier every day and it can't be another way, I don't have cure, mine is total madness."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And he was ready to run when he was told:"Wait a moment, how did you realize, how did you find out that you were mad?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And he said: The reason is that life taught me, since I would try to find peace, understanding, friendship, I would give them all, the best of me, and in return, I received deceive, offenses, rejection. And all these hurt me very much, but the days and the years passed and I wanted to find more complex things like love, happiness and what did I get in return? Deceive, hate, rejection, violence, offense.And it happened so many times that I thought that it couldn't be happening, that it was not possible that God had created such a wrong world, it is not possible that most men hate, deceive, kill, it can't be that humanity be as false and hypocrite. Then, what truly happens is that I am mad. Because peace must exist, as well as brotherhood, dignity, love, justice but I never saw them. Then, I am the one who is wrong. I am prisoner of this madness that for some unknown reason, does not allow me to see the light of truth. Then, I must be mad, because when I searched for that light, I only found darkness.And if I wasn't mad, I would prefer one thousand times to be mad that living in a world where truth does not exist." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then the ones who had talked to him, looked one another and said: " Just go, run, nothing else."And in silence but with hurried steps, each one left like rats to their holes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiritual Courses.

Isn't this your town and you have lived here all your life? Tell us, why do you say that you are lost?" The people asked him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- You are also lost and you are even more lost that I am, said the Madman.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They laughed and said: - Neither you nor us are lost. You are just crazy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- You are more lost than I am, because at least I know that I am lost, but you don't even realize it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-But this is your house, your home. Don't you know us? How come that you are lost?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; And the Madman said: - I already knew what you are saying but I am lost the same.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Then, Madman, from where did you get lost?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; And he answered : - I am lost from my inner world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Author/Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;www. mystichealingart.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-7727524669281344392?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/7727524669281344392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=7727524669281344392' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/7727524669281344392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/7727524669281344392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-am-lost-wisdom-of-madman.html' title='I am Lost.

Somebody heard him talking to himself. And this is what he was saying: "I had a dream, where I was facing the Night. Her face was pale but resplendent. Her dress was black but covered with diamonds at the same time. And the Night was looking at me and I felt ecstatic. We could communicate without words and I felt her hands giving me soft caresses. We lived an intense romance. But suddenly I heard the voice of a deep silence. It was the Light that was approaching and the Night was leaving me. From that moment on, I do not want to open my eyes, I want everything to be dark, that all lights are turned off and then to have a perfect placid solitude so in the intimacy of the silence, I can contemplate the Night again." And the one who had heard the Madman, said to him: " You are completely crazy." And the Madman answered: "Now, they called madness to Love. But what do you know about madness ? If you do not know how to recognize Love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-6300109547825420804?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/6300109547825420804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=6300109547825420804' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/6300109547825420804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/6300109547825420804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/11/contemplating-night.html' title='Contemplating the Night'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SvZJV5Ed0rI/AAAAAAAACL8/8nLk0Qny6Kw/s72-c/51Y-m-6-480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-8476002180969676415</id><published>2009-09-19T10:37:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-19T10:40:33.448-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>The Answer to the Dilemma.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SrTsx3EeIrI/AAAAAAAACJ4/H8jxAXO7a5U/s1600-h/182-P-a-111x480.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383187795955032754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SrTsx3EeIrI/AAAAAAAACJ4/H8jxAXO7a5U/s400/182-P-a-111x480.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In the town of the man called the Madman, many learned men of different traditions got together: Mathematicians, mystics and many others wanted to decide who was the wisest among them. And for that purpose, they designed a very delicate concept which was to find the man who could put together a great contradiction, it had to be something very different, something that could represent Good and evil and to make the issue more difficult, it would have to be something that in appearance did not represent distrust or violence. But we can give a clue: By example, in a sword, we can find life and death and its use will give its real purpose, thus it must not be something as radical and it can't be sharp, hurtful but we can finally say that what seems innocent may not be it as much. So, it must be something more evident, but never insolent and here we mean that almost everything has a duality.Money, by example, can attract Good and evil, then, it will not be accepted any relativity where the issue turns out evident in itself but at the same time, it must be something transparent and which for its condition may naturally select Good from evil; and Good must never be a topic about religion or politics because we don't want to bring a conflict but what we want is to understand the human genius that can solve this issue between one or the other, which means, Good from evil. Besides, who is in truth the human being? The contest will reveal this division and union and besides in only one function; for this purpose, the option will be given where the one who fulfills the design, will briefly explain its use and inevitably will reveal who is who and this must be seen immediately: the Good or evil been exposed, but besides Good and evil cannot be in the design nor in what's seen but in what's not seen but is let known. And thus, it will be confirmed the best wise man, genius of all regions and all nations.And then, this was informed and many people applied, bringing the best of their repertoire about the invention, which must show Good as much as evil united and separated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And who is capable of expressing in a simple and eloquent way and to resolve what happens in the own human being? Because this is the idea: To find the window that shows the inner side and allows to see the heart, the most intimate, where can be seen Good and evil. How to see them, although they will never be compatible with the purpose of negotiating in some way.Who can reveal hypocrisy? Who will lift the veil? Many of the persons who applied to the contest, did not dare to show their work, since they said that it was impossible. But there was one who was firm, proud, creative and brought a frame without a picture and said:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;" You can see what you want to see. Each person will see his reality or fiction." But he was told: " Your proposal is not bad but does not define nor differentiate something who sees. It certainly sees what does not see but its vision is its objective and cannot show the division among Good and evil." Another brought an object covered with a black cloth and calling the judges said: " Come you all, that I will solve what you try to find." They came and when they were all there, the man lifted the veil and showed a mirror, while saying: " Look at your reality, see what you want to see and what you don't want to see. Isn't this what is Good and evil? " Even though he showed creativity and inventiveness, he was not accepted and the judges said: " You loot at the image in the mirror and then, you give it an interpretation while you have no control; the mirror does not tell you what he says, it does not solve any truth, it only is an accomplice of your look." And although he was recognized and applauded, he didn't have the answer. And after many days, the man named Madman showed up. He was bringing a simple bag in his hands and with sincere humility said: " I will give the answer to the dilemma but before, I would like to ask if any of you dare to live with the mystery of guilt, whatever it may be? And if he could, to show that he is a being with great power." And the others said: " Since he is mad, what is he talking about, it cannot be understood what he is saying, he must not be allowed to continued."But the Madman continued by opening the bag and bringing out a red hat. The old people, applauded and said among themselves: " This is the revelation. Who dares to wear the red hat?Since, that person immediately accepts that is guilty. Who dares to accept the guilt, whatever it may be.? But the one who dares to wear the hat, would be a courageous man by recognizing his guilt. Who could do it? Good and evil are in man, the red hat recognizes the inner battle, the hypocrisy, the lie and the truth."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;visit the best Inspirational site of the net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-8476002180969676415?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/8476002180969676415/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=8476002180969676415' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/8476002180969676415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/8476002180969676415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/09/answer-to-dilemma.html' title='The Answer to the Dilemma.'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SrTsx3EeIrI/AAAAAAAACJ4/H8jxAXO7a5U/s72-c/182-P-a-111x480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-988434417371139013</id><published>2009-09-09T21:28:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T21:37:57.999-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>The Cause of Death.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SqhWYgmBYRI/AAAAAAAACJo/dQTRH56cnuA/s1600-h/116-R-b-63x480.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379644733960315154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SqhWYgmBYRI/AAAAAAAACJo/dQTRH56cnuA/s400/116-R-b-63x480.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;In the town of the man called the madman, there was a crime. In the scene, there were a heart, an scorpion, a stick and a stone. "How did he die?" the experts asked. And one of them said: "This person was bitten by a scorpion and that is the reason that he died."But another person refuted: "The impact was too strong, he died because he was hit by a stone. "While another person said: "No, it cannot be. A stick pierced his heart. "And the man called Madman by his townspeople, was taciturn, watching the scene and said: "Gentlemen, it is not like that." And the people said: " What do you know? You are mad." And he said: " If this person would have been bitten by a scorpion, the pain would have been deep and terrible but he certainly would not die. If he would have been hit with a stone, the heart would have been destroyed. If it would have been with a stick, we still would see the stick piercing the heart. His death as every death is a tragedy but this tragedy is even larger. It has not been the scorpion, the stone or the stick. Don't you realize? Don't you see that heart? Can't you understand? I am the madman, of course, and you are sane, but what killed this heart was something even more terrible, unimaginable, unconceivable. It has all the signs, all the characteristics for dying of everything and by everything but that heart died of nothing.

Some said: " I have a great love but I am very jealous." Other said, "I also love a lot and thus I demand and control a lot."Other said: "My love is great, greater than yours, what I feel is possession."Other said: " My love is sensible, fragile and delicate, love makes me cry"And in this fashion, many declared their great love. Then, their king brought the wisest men who started to select who was the best: obsessive, domineering, demanding and aggressive. And the wise men said that this was a mysterious thing, since they didn't know that there was so much love, and they needed to decipher that question. And they brought the wisest of the wise who lived in a cave in the mountain. All were reunited and pretending that they were the winners and brought their neighbors, friends and relatives since everybody wanted to be best recognized in front of everybody. Then, the oldest wise man came and listened patiently all the declarations of love and as he listened, thick tears were running down his face and the persons in the meeting, said: " See how moved he is. What a great opportunity!When everybody had finished, the old wise man looked at the persons and said: " I have listened with attention and I can tell you without any doubt that I feel great pity for you since nothing of what you said is love, because in truth you all don't know the meaning of love. You have presented with great vanity the feeling of been selfish, you want to control, to posses and manipulate. You assume that love is like an object, or mere obsession and manipulation. You think of love like object of pure obsession and in your pretension and illusion, you only see your own heart but don't know anything about love.The public felt confused but out of ignorance, didn't want to accept that reality and said that the man was crazy. And he was thrown out of the city and they even dare to crown themselves as great lovers. In the meantime, the wise man went back to his cave in the mountain and was thinking: " Immature, blind, hallucinated, because Love is a feeling of reverence to the loved one. Love is the sincere surrender of the heart and is not like an emperor wanting to rule the sky and even the stars. Love is the essence of the spirit who rather Gives than Receives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;visit the best inspirational site of the net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-137164613358953507?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/137164613358953507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=137164613358953507' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/137164613358953507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/137164613358953507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/08/wisdom-of-madman-on-love.html' title='The Wisdom of the Madman on Love'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SpnDw-QH7CI/AAAAAAAACJQ/3Hc4X6P2naw/s72-c/143-R-b-90x480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-1210462127827068991</id><published>2009-08-10T21:44:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-10T21:48:59.384-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual questions'/><title type='text'>The Question of the Madman</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SoDNMhtowaI/AAAAAAAACH4/89O2sBcsZjs/s1600-h/73-U-M-110x640.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368516370917540258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SoDNMhtowaI/AAAAAAAACH4/89O2sBcsZjs/s320/73-U-M-110x640.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;In the town where the Madman lives, he was shouting: " Who could solve this question! "And his shouting and groaning were so intense that people came and surrounded him asking him: " Tell us what's bothering you, what's your sorrow, did anybody trouble you? Tell us what's your pain? And we'll try to solve your great affliction." But instead, he groaned again even to the point of shouting and said something like this: " Who could, who could solve this question? Does anybody maybe know what is Love?"One of them, took a step forward and said: "Love is peace." And other took another step forward also and said: " Love is in the eyes of my beloved." Other said: " Her lips, her beautiful mouth." Another answered: " Her breasts." Other said: " Her hair."Other said: " Her hands." Other said: " Her voice." Other said: " Her tenderness."Other said: " The beatings of her heart." Other said: " Her understanding and patience." And they kept saying in this fashion until they all finished but the madman was crying even more: " How terrible, what a terrible thing! I suspected this, it is not that you don't know what love is, but that love is dead." And he was crying even more. And the people asked him:" Why do you say so, haven't you heard what we said? " And he still crying said: " I certainly heard you all with great attention, having some hope but you confirmed that love is dead." "Why do you say so? We are surprised by your madness, you seem to be possessed." they said all together. And the Madman answered: " I may be mad, but you are possessed and you confessed your crime." "What?" they said. " Didn't we say that Love is in her eyes, lips, hair and many other things? " And the Madman said: " Stop, don't keep saying it because you are only adding to my pain, since I don't know what love is but I only know that love is dead. Get away, you all assassins of love!"And he went away, while they were muttering : "What horrible madness!"And when the Madman was completely alone, too much maybe, he said in a very low voice: " Love, Love, who I don't know. How many murdering hands, how much cruelty. All these savages and insensitive persons , when they met you -for sure, took advantage and each took some pieces and they mutilated you. Thus, we will never know how you were." And he kept on crying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; To God be all the glory&lt;br /&gt;School of Spiritual Healing&lt;br /&gt;will allow you to meet universal harmony and what is most important, the knowledge of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/School_Spiritual_Healing.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/School_Spiritual_Healing.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-1210462127827068991?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/1210462127827068991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=1210462127827068991' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1210462127827068991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1210462127827068991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/08/question-of-madman.html' title='The Question of the Madman'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SoDNMhtowaI/AAAAAAAACH4/89O2sBcsZjs/s72-c/73-U-M-110x640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-131628682804281872</id><published>2009-08-02T16:51:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T16:59:09.150-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='short story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>Inspirational Short Story.

But the king wanted -before leaving, to have a gesture and to share a portion of his fortune in a very special way. And thus, he presented a goal and a challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And announcements were placed in the town that said: " The request of our beloved King is to ask you to bring and show him the most valuable heart."&lt;br /&gt;And the whole town got ready because there was an important promise, a treasure, a fortune. And they got together in the central square of the town. One of them brought a diamond carved in heart shape. Other, a heart of sterling, other in gold, other in ruby; innumerable precious stones carved in heart shapes.Also, very fine wood as ebony and mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The king seemed to be very pleased and it was determined that a decision would be reached very soon about which was the most valuable heart and this surely would turn into thousand of millions of more pieces of gold and sterling that the King would have to give.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, the townspeople seemed to have shown their most valuable objects. But there was one missing, the madman, simple and humble was bringing something between his hands. And he was asked to come in front of the king.&lt;br /&gt;People were making fun of him: " What can this one bring, worth maybe a few cents? How does he dare? "&lt;br /&gt;And when he was in front of the king, this said: " Open your hands and show what you have." He opened his hands and a white dove opened its wings and flew to the sky.&lt;br /&gt;And the king asked: " Is this your treasure?"&lt;br /&gt;And Madman answered: " My treasure, the white heart of this dove that now is flying high and its heart is alive; and isn't a precious stone nor a man made jewel, but it is more valuable than all the previously shown here. I would like you to know that I have come out of respect and not because of the treasure. This white dove has a heart full of life and its name is Freedom."&lt;br /&gt;Then, the king making a big effort, got up from the throne and said: " We all have been mad but this man has always been awaken, lucid in front of truth. But I am not going to give him the treasure because it would be mean on my side, I will give him what he is entitled to."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he added: " My people, I will soon leave." And then, he removed his crown, put it aside, he inclined in front of the man named the Madman and said:&lt;br /&gt;" My people, the king is dead but now you have a new king."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;visit the best inspirational site of the net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-131628682804281872?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/131628682804281872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=131628682804281872' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/131628682804281872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/131628682804281872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/08/inspirational-short-story-dove-of.html' title='Inspirational Short Story.

The best warrior of the king, champion of every battle, of every tournament, and better known as the Immortal Warrior because of his strength, courage, and abilities in the art of combat; that exceptional warrior, so feared and respected, has been found dead, to the side of his bed; he seemed to have suffered a great deal. It was expressed in his face and his tunic was torn in the area of the chest since it seemed as if he had tried to remove a dagger. What a macabre scene! Nobody could have imagined this.Many funeral offerings will be made and the whole town and their king are crying in front of the deceased and everywhere people are asking how could this happen? who killed him? if he could fight with many fierce warriors at the same time. Since he was a child he had been trained to overcome pain, fear, desolation but today we are here contemplating the one who was the most victorious warrior in life.There is a mystery that seems impossible to solve. And the king called the most experienced investigators because he wanted to have justice and they must capture the killer or killers of the loyal warrior, of this immortal warrior.And the king asked: " What happened? was he poisoned? was he knifed? attacked from behind?How could this be? And besides, what's the reason behind his expression of pain and his torn tunic? who can explain this? Nobody was able to give an answer. Everybody was speculating and not able to find the key. And the desperate king called who seemed the least appropiate to solve this question, he called the man called Madman and asked him: " The investigators have great experience and have been working during many days, studying every detail but they don't have the answer."And he added: " I know that mad people say what they feel, maybe you by being out of this world, will be able to tell us what nobody can understand in this world."And the Madman, asked for a minute of silence, that was granted by the king and the whole kingdom was silent for a moment. Not even the birds sang, nor the wind blew, that minute seemed eternal. Then, the Madman told the King: " The Immortal Warrior died in the most terrible and unsuspected way that somebody can die. That warrior who won every battle, couldn't win the most delicate, fine, exquisite battle but also the most terrible, infamous, painful. That's the reason that I requested silence, because when I saw him, I understood the whole thing and my soul cried, I have the answer. There is no need to search for the killers, or conspiracy, no need to search for anybody because we will not find anything, but certainly something killed him, something too big, something that nobody can bear. The Immortal Warrior died because of love."The king then, said: " The man called the Madman has raised the veils and opened our eyes so we could find that love can also be fatal."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Best Inspirational Site in the Net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-4712362700098708261?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/4712362700098708261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=4712362700098708261' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/4712362700098708261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/4712362700098708261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/07/immortal-warrior.html' title='The Immortal Warrior'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Smt2xAnfbXI/AAAAAAAACHI/1acfIDsx9mE/s72-c/18-W-Aiki-52-480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-1539116310320078519</id><published>2009-07-15T18:27:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T18:30:51.055-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='for reflection'/><title type='text'>The Fair of the Future</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Sl5X4VC8ZXI/AAAAAAAACGg/PBHJ1HTvjx8/s1600-h/39AA-de-paso-5-640.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358817231851251058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Sl5X4VC8ZXI/AAAAAAAACGg/PBHJ1HTvjx8/s320/39AA-de-paso-5-640.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;In the town where the man called Madman, lives, a Fair of the Science and Technology of the Future, was happening and the organizers, filled with arrogance and boastfulness, declared that the great science of the future, will not be overcome by anything. And thus, they announced a great contest open to all the inhabitants of the town and the question been presented was : " Who can demonstrate that the science of tomorrow is best? "Fabulous prizes were offered but nobody could claim them because they recognized that the future would be better, nevertheless, the only one who did not agree was the man called Madman, since when he heard the news, he merely said: "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is false, it is not true."When the organizers of the event heard this, they could not kept quite since they thought that it would look bad that anybody, even the man, called Madman, presented an objection. Then, they decided to bring him to the fair and to introduce the great inventions of the future to him and to make fun of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day arrived and the most wonderful technological wonders never seen before, were presented, and it was evident that the man called Madman was very crazy.When the crucial moment came, he was told: " We have heard that you have said that you don't agree that the technology of the future will be truly superior. But if you can prove otherwise -and this was said with great mockery, all the business here, their investments and capitals will be transferred in that same moment to you. But with one condition only, that everybody in this town is totally convinced."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the man named Madman, said: "Your technology is meaningful and important in a great way. And I congratulate you over and over again because you have made a progress and I hope that you will keep making progress."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he was interrupted in his speech and was told: " Oh Sir, you are mad and you are admitting that we are right in front of everybody." But the man called Madman, spoke again, saying: " No, it is not like that, I have not changed my opinion, I reaffirm what I said and will say again, The technology of the future is extraordinary cooperative and fabulous but how great and glorious may the future be if yesterday would not exist?&lt;br /&gt;Every being who exists here, every being who lives, who lived and will live, will have to be like the most valuable, not of the future, not of the science, of the technology of that great tomorrow. But he will need to have the treasure of yesterday because the foundation of all that we are is found there and who is not capable of looking back is not capable either, of walking one step forward.&lt;br /&gt;The great tops of the trees are supported by their roots, the peaks of the snowed mountains, are supported by its foundations, in the depth of the ground; man is man because of his ancestors. But who is not capable of looking back to his childhood, will not be capable either to mature, of getting old and even die, since how sad is, the one who does not have a history."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After finishing these words, the whole town, became like stunned in silence and all had to recognize that even though the future may be great, the past will always be more valuable.And the man named Madman also said: " You can keep your treasures and prizes because I am immensely rich, I can look back and that's why I can also keep going forward. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-1539116310320078519?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/1539116310320078519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=1539116310320078519' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1539116310320078519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1539116310320078519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/07/fair-of-future.html' title='The Fair of the Future'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Sl5X4VC8ZXI/AAAAAAAACGg/PBHJ1HTvjx8/s72-c/39AA-de-paso-5-640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-3416579344634808135</id><published>2009-07-05T20:28:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-05T20:33:46.807-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ebook'/><title type='text'>Violence and Peace</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SlFFOQ8PxrI/AAAAAAAACFI/TvjDoxdCU40/s1600-h/84-Y-KI-12-640.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355137543288374962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SlFFOQ8PxrI/AAAAAAAACFI/TvjDoxdCU40/s400/84-Y-KI-12-640.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;n the town where the man called the madman lives, a big battle has happened with much violence coming from the armies of the North, the South, the East and the West and they have had a fierce battle. The violence is unthinkable and it seems that evil is over that town. The battle has lasted for four days, there are thousands of casualties and only one man is alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;ow is this possible. It is hard to believe, but this is what happened. Neutral nations were faced with that horror when they went looking for survivors and they could only found smashed bodies and only one survivor. "What happened?" they asked him.And he said: "It was as if fierce demons had been untied and they all were fighting each with the other. It seemed that death was having a great party. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;ut how did you survive? he was asked. And he answered: " I learned that violence only brings more violence and that Peace is the only worthy arm. Then, I calmed my mind and in that moment I became wind and water. The bullets, knives, blows and arms of all types, were coming over me, but my mind was serene because I believed in Peace in my heart. The violence was happening around like lightning, but I would move to the sides and let it pass. More attacks would come but I would become like water and would flow and they could not trap me. Suddenly, a gigantic bomb exploded in front of me and thousands were killed in an instant; their tongues became ashes before their bodies fell to the ground. But in that moment, I felt as if earth and heaven were supporting me and an inner voice said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;" &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;n the serenity, in the calmness, and non violence, is found the victory." And then, I found that I was the only survivor but I was very sad for what had happened here."And the ones who had asked him, moved away while thinking: "This one has survived but he is completely mad."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;The Wisdom of the Madman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;download the ebook now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/the-wisdom-of-the-madman/3879183"&gt;http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/the-wisdom-of-the-madman/3879183&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-3416579344634808135?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/3416579344634808135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=3416579344634808135' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/3416579344634808135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/3416579344634808135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/07/violence-and-peace.html' title='Violence and Peace'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SlFFOQ8PxrI/AAAAAAAACFI/TvjDoxdCU40/s72-c/84-Y-KI-12-640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-2017593001494501551</id><published>2009-06-30T21:19:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T21:24:36.250-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>The Lake</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Skq6VRd5WfI/AAAAAAAACEI/dDCN8vmJ4TI/s1600-h/225-T-K-317x640.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353295981712071154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Skq6VRd5WfI/AAAAAAAACEI/dDCN8vmJ4TI/s320/225-T-K-317x640.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;In the outskirts of a big city, there is a small lake.

Thus, the king provided great treasures and each citizen of the kingdom also brought exquisite things: magnificent forged spears, shields, swords. The warriors were celebrating and talking about their good old times. But the time came for the man called Madman, who brought something small and all wrapped and by being the last to arrive, the king wanted to end with a perfect finale, so he tried to look kind, and brought Madman to the center of the event.The man called Madman then made his offering by opening in a delicate way the wrapping of a very simple cloth and brought out a very small withered flower and since he had been called to give the basis of this offering, he said: " In this withered flower are reflected many lost hopes, innocent tears, orphan children, broken families. What glory are we going to talk about? This small flower is worth much more than all those columns of gold. What are they in front of this flower? Columns of coal. Their treasures, achievements are filled with spilled blood. This flower cries, what the dead can't and the ones who survived are stunned and in silence. There is no victory here. How can the triumph be claimed in front of the foolishness? My small flower was full of colors and aroma, some time ago, that is what was valuable. Let's cultivate life and not the culture of death. I don't have more words to say, that what this flower says in silence, since life, no matter how big or small is always meaningful. The swords, the shields are symbols and signs of cowardice, ignorance and lack of values and of falling into savagery; instead of communicating among us, we have learned to hate each other and to make a great event out of this. And I accompany this flower in this suffering."Some of the persons who were present, looked at him with hatred and ready to kill but others couldn't stop crying and others felt liberated since in that flower and in that voice -of the man called Madman, the truth, as a torch of light in the darkness, could not be shut off anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Visit the best Inspirational Site in the Net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-5430748040282718521?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/5430748040282718521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=5430748040282718521' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/5430748040282718521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/5430748040282718521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/06/torch-of-light.html' title='The Torch of Light'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SjwuYj0jV-I/AAAAAAAACDQ/W-lZD7drIek/s72-c/128-N-u-95x480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-1637845448698130855</id><published>2009-04-23T16:54:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-23T17:02:02.265-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><title type='text'>That Special Moment</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SfDVzn5_s4I/AAAAAAAACB4/HezozWdqLJ8/s1600-h/71-Y-ZEN-10-aiki.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327993442041574274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 280px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SfDVzn5_s4I/AAAAAAAACB4/HezozWdqLJ8/s400/71-Y-ZEN-10-aiki.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Between life and death, there is a solemn moment where I am free, so free that I am neither dead nor alive.

The world has gone mad and thinks that its madness is a great success of society. Freedom has prostitute itself and family is finished. Love is now lust of the senses.Life is like a bell that does not longer say what it used to.

This, may seem absurd  but in reality means,  not wanting  to assume real responsibilities. And mainly, looking for constant self justification and running away from himself, for the only reason of maintaining tranquility and control. But this is a self deceit attitude. It is sad, that people keep hiding behind many masks, avoiding to have self knowledge while making constant rituals, out of life. They hide their own feelings, which they cut off, before they bloom. These are depressed people with a mask of spirituality or honesty and with supposed great sense of solidarity. And who can be found in every place and condition, forming part of a team  but they hide behind the other persons, since they don't want to be themselves. These persons are condemning themselves to failure in all they do, in every type of relationship, they will never get to be happy and if they are, is from a posture of self defense and negation to life itself. Many aspects of human evolution, follow this process. The spirituality is a conscious practice, where it is truly lived, and is not a path followed in a blind way, confusing this attitude with faith, which has another meaning. Faith, is a true commitment to spiritual communion, where the process of analysis and thought  are related to accomplish excellence in every sense.  Life, is to be lived with intensity. This means, to love the process of getting to know and to discover the best that we can be. Divine Love, does not want us to be blind, ignorant, fanatics or simple mechanisms, but rather to realize the best talents of living. There is a great difference between living in constant fear, pretending everything is fine, while being self deceived, or rather,  living a life full of spiritual plenitude. Let's start by asking ourselves : What do I understand ? What is the objective of the spiritual life ? How to discover its meaning ? Why is Love, good ?  In this way, and by taking life in this true and responsible form, we will be a true and real being. Let's not pretend what we are not. Let's be the best that we can be, for the good of all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Great New Blogs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a title="http://inspirationalphrasesoflove.blogspot.com/" href="http://inspirationalphrasesoflove.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://inspirationalphrasesoflove.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://inspirationalpuzzles.blogspot.com/" href="http://inspirationalpuzzles.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://inspirationalpuzzles.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://angelsoflight-mystichealingart.blogspot.com/" href="http://angelsoflight-mystichealingart.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://angelsoflight-mystichealingart.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://bizarre-frommystichealingart.blogspot.com/" href="http://bizarre-frommystichealingart.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://bizarre-frommystichealingart.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://mostpopularwritings.wordpress.com/" href="http://mostpopularwritings.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://mostpopularwritings.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://dailyspiritualquotes.wordpress.com/" href="http://dailyspiritualquotes.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://dailyspiritualquotes.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://messagesoflife.wordpress.com/" href="http://messagesoflife.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://messagesoflife.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://inspirationalraindrops.wordpress.com/" href="http://inspirationalraindrops.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://inspirationalraindrops.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-1996409084188282015?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/1996409084188282015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=1996409084188282015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1996409084188282015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1996409084188282015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/03/just-be-yourself.html' title='Just Be Yourself'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/ScwioZIOUnI/AAAAAAAAB94/fYd4s6RJI58/s72-c/101-R-b-51-destellosdeluzx480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-1005416526240179736</id><published>2009-03-21T13:11:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-21T13:14:53.347-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art of living'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>The Art of Living.

It is something born of the deep mystery of the spirit, that always needs to be nourished with ethical and moral values. And must never be forgotten, abandoned to its luck, or become monotonous. To be a person, is also to live in a world of persons, no matter the conditions.  The essential aspects are always born in the inner world, and this is the reason that the person must be spiritual, which is  cooperative, understanding, with a feeling of solidarity, worthy, responsible, profound, educated, noble, kind, obliging, affective, humble, dedicated and many other things. This is not a coincidence, it needs sustenance and constant information. To be a person is loving  Love and also loving everything that surrounds us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Author: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Free Video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiritual Teachings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1b-9wdMOo"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1b-9wdMOo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-2686820714197633682?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/2686820714197633682/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=2686820714197633682' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2686820714197633682'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2686820714197633682'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/02/importance-of-been-good-person.html' title='The Importance of been a Good Person'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SZdcVpc8PvI/AAAAAAAAB4A/RN-jlvPMHoM/s72-c/133-k-Mystichealingart-2-3Dx400.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-1294664472263993693</id><published>2009-02-08T12:31:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-08T12:35:13.715-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wisdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Happiness'/><title type='text'>The Revelation of the Secret of Happiness</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SY8XIXT1IVI/AAAAAAAAB3A/8weoeXbOP54/s1600-h/33-Z-waw-11-640.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300480718901944658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SY8XIXT1IVI/AAAAAAAAB3A/8weoeXbOP54/s400/33-Z-waw-11-640.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;While meditating, I wanted to know who was happiest on earth and I had the vision of traveling to different places and for some reason, I found myself at a mansion, a house of many rooms; this house did not lack anything but had everything modern and in abundance. Then, I could feel the hearts of the persons, the owner of the house wanted more wealth and I could see that he was hardly home, he traveled a lot, looking for something more and his mind was busy in reaching fame and fortune. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;I could also see that the lady of the house, enjoyed of gatherings and her main worry was not about the reunions but about the clothes that she would wear and how the others would see her. She needed to show her power and control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;I also saw the heart of the children, they hardly knew their parents, they were addicted to buying and using new things and then, they would feel very bored and they felt Jeaoulosy among themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;I left the house while thinking that it was good that they were successful but there was something about them that did not seem that good since they were always unsatisfied, looking for something more and they were never happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Then, I went to the other side of the city and found myself in something that was almost like a house, it seemed very poor and there was a family inside, they were together and were eating; and the father was saying: "Let's give thanks to God for our health, for been together, sharing this food." I saw that their food was simple, there was no abundance, only what was needed. I could also see the hearts of the members of the family, where a light was shining.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; And I asked the light: "Who are you? I can see that this family has peace and unity." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And the light answered:" They also have joy and faith."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;"How is that possible?" I asked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; And the light said: "You will not be able to see their wealth with your eyes, but you will feel it and you will understand the wealth in them because they accept themselves, they make the effort and with natural humility, they value and feel grateful for what they have, then, they have more than wealth, they have the revelation of the secret of Happiness."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And I kept listening in my heart: "To accept, to appreciate, to be grateful"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Then, I understood, who was happiest on earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Author: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-1294664472263993693?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/1294664472263993693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=1294664472263993693' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1294664472263993693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1294664472263993693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/02/revelation-of-secret-of-happiness.html' title='The Revelation of the Secret of Happiness'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SY8XIXT1IVI/AAAAAAAAB3A/8weoeXbOP54/s72-c/33-Z-waw-11-640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-2227574171780703979</id><published>2009-02-04T20:23:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-04T20:26:38.228-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='riches'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wealth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='for reflection'/><title type='text'>The Wealth found in Giving</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SYo_3w2YSDI/AAAAAAAAB2I/l6RKhTfzdL0/s1600-h/158-M-480-homepage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299118138793150514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SYo_3w2YSDI/AAAAAAAAB2I/l6RKhTfzdL0/s400/158-M-480-homepage.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;A person was walking by life with only enough for the daily living and by works of fate, he met someone who was asking for very little but when one does not have much, even very little, seems a lot. And he thought: " This person is asking for what I have, which is almost nothing. Nevertheless, I am going to share because life is not to be lived for caring  for myself only but life is to coexist with the universe. Besides, I can see myself in  this one who is asking, I do not have much but I have a little bit more than nothing and I must share my bread. He then, took his possessions and divided them in two and he said to the one who had asked: " Take what you need." And the one who had asked said: " I do not have anything except my great need; and your help is a great wealth. You have liberated me from poverty, while you have become poorer for helping me in my condition. And the one who was sharing said: " No, you have not made me poorer, you have taught me that the little that I have is a lot. You have made me richer because you, who said to be poor, you have given me spiritual nourishment since you have helped me to share. Then, many riches will come my way like appreciation, understanding, respect, friendship and gratitude. By looking at you, I can see myself and I renew my values, my efforts and dedication." And the one who had asked said: " I can see a great nobility and firm decision of good in you. I can see a man of faith, of principles and compassion and by having such a great heart, I am going to reveal a secret to you. I am not the beggar that you thought, I am not the humiliated man who does not have anything, I am not the one who suffers and is abandoned. I am an angel who has come down from heaven to see your heart.  And with great happiness and joy, I have found that you are the wealthiest man in the world because you have being able to give and to share. That is the reason that I have revealed myself to you so you will know that you path is the right one. You have more fortune than a mountain of gold, you have a pure, noble and gentile heart. The perfection and grace of the fraternal love are reflected in you. You know the supreme worth of the riches of the needs and of the true reality of love."  After saying these words, the angel embraced him. And the one who had shared, not only duplicated what he had but he had in abundance and his wealth could only be compared with the sky and its stars because he knew from that instant that God is present in the gift of giving and receiving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Author: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-2227574171780703979?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/2227574171780703979/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=2227574171780703979' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2227574171780703979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2227574171780703979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2009/02/wealth-found-in-giving.html' title='The Wealth found in Giving'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SYo_3w2YSDI/AAAAAAAAB2I/l6RKhTfzdL0/s72-c/158-M-480-homepage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-8357079061833592564</id><published>2009-01-30T21:15:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-30T21:18:27.500-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>Hurrah for the Madmen</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SYO0kIhO9FI/AAAAAAAAB1M/hkvREC9tDJY/s1600-h/116-Y-Sp-15-480.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297276119573001298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SYO0kIhO9FI/AAAAAAAAB1M/hkvREC9tDJY/s400/116-Y-Sp-15-480.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;-What would happen to the world if everything would be perfect?- A madman asked in loud voice.

I can see a mountain in a grain of sand. I can also see rivers and seas in a drop of water. And the vastness of the universe in the blue sky, with so many stars that I can't even count them. It all may seem different to what in reality and in truth is. The perspectives are changed in the distances. What is big may look small and the small may seem big. But what is certain is that a child at birth is not immense but the whole history of humanity is supported in him. All the times are fused in one in him.

The fire may understand my passion in the snow capped mountains. And the earth may discover how I feel when I walk on her, or the sea, wrap me up and allow me to dilute, to become only one and to discover its secrets. And Nature may listen to me or in justice,  I will listen to my heart and then, the blood will be the river. I will support on this, as if it was the power of life but it is not fire, although it may seem like it. And the lungs will fill with wind and the bones will be columns. And the teeth as metals and the eyes as the doors of the soul, infinite oceans, that hide and keep but they know because they have found out with its presence, what's beyond it all.The whole Nature takes me, carries me, leads me,  points to me, forces me, directs me, imprisons me  and frees me from everything. At the same time, in an instant, life and death unite, all and nothing.  Nature is big and small at the same time, like in a grain of sand in front of a mountain. A sparkle of light, an ardent volcano, the sun at noontime,  the placid sea, an agitated sea, charming waves  that hit the rock and together with the light pour out foam of diamonds. A desert earth, hot and cold, unstable in its climate but deep, companion of everything. Mother and father of sweet fruits and living beings, species of the forests and species of the air. Nature has so many faces, she gives so much every day! And the force of life is the magic of the elements, is the chain that sustains life and at the same time is the reason of death. Nature is my living sister, my growing seed, is the past of my origin, the clarity of the present  and the infinite tomorrow, that does not end the horizon but becomes gigantic.  Look at the skies, the bird that sings, the flower that is reborn and faints, the spirit of joy, the warm spring, passionate and sensual, the sea and wind that undulate, the attractive flower of different colors, the dew and strong flint, the good food to take, the skin of my skin, voice and breath of life. Nature has made me prisoner of her presence, reason of her tenderness and cruelty of her mystery, of her profound revelation since I have happiness with her and extinction without her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

Then, the experience will be reached, the caress, the inspiration and the grace of a renewed consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;From the dreams I will choose the closest to reality and from reality, I will choose the closest to the dreams, then I will understand the delicate point of balance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-1315460426589000801?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/1315460426589000801/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=1315460426589000801' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1315460426589000801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/1315460426589000801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2008/07/life-is-great-mystery-point-of-balance.html' title='Life is a Great Mystery.

They all will reach their dreams.&lt;br /&gt;Then, they asked the man called Madman his opinion.

They were thinking that they knew a great deal compared to the others, that they were learned men and the rest were ignorant. And they decided to find a simple uncomplicated theme to see who could explain it better.And they decided to choose&lt;br /&gt;" Loneliness"&lt;br /&gt;Many eloquent speakers were attending and they spoke and spoke incessantly. They would speak with philosophical attitude and posture: " Loneliness is a mountain, it is the winter cold. Loneliness is the depth of the sea."&lt;br /&gt;And they were applauded by many but in truth, they all wanted to be heard and applauded.&lt;br /&gt;The turn finally came for the Madman, because his presence was always requested since they all wanted to make fun of him. And he said: " The mountain is accompanied by the trees, by the light of the day and also by the stars. The depth of the sea is accompanied by the cold, by the fearsome darkness. The winter is accompanied by heavy coats, by the crying of old people and children who cannot find with what to cover themselves. Then, nothing of those to me is loneliness. To me, loneliness is to be here reunited with so many indifferent persons who do not want to listen to anybody but themselves. To me, that is loneliness, a world where union is not cultivated but its opposite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;"When the townspeople and learned men heard those words, they said: " That man is crazy."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And he answered: " In truth, we all are lonely in this place."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-9123742550747110426?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/9123742550747110426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=9123742550747110426' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/9123742550747110426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/9123742550747110426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2008/06/wisdom-of-madman-on-loneliness.html' title='The Wisdom of the Madman on Loneliness.'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/SErbE50C64I/AAAAAAAAA_o/ziL_W8jIh-w/s72-c/69-R-b-20-destellosdeoscx480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-8384396559211406010</id><published>2008-05-29T23:10:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-29T23:17:34.531-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='for reflection'/><title type='text'>Another type of Madmen.

Don't you know that men are constituted already as animals and their nature is mortal and only those who have gotten, not by virtue, but by grace, the Love of the Creator, then, they will have spirit  and  could hope for eternal life.

Maybe my blood is different or my conscience is different, maybe I am awake at night and I hide during the day? Is the reality different for me and everything that exists have another meaning? What makes me be able to feel, listen, have intuition about what the others cannot see?&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I am like a living dead for the others? who goes walking among shadows, talking about things that they cannot understand or maybe I only exist in the dreams or maybe I cannot understand reality? Why I am so different? Why is the world in reverse and I see everything upside down? And I ask myself, the reason that when the man kills, destroys and humiliates, he calls all these situations, battles, conquering, ruling and power? Why when the world spills innocent blood, they celebrate while I cry; and when people move away from the rain, I rather surrender to it? I want to be as the river, free, happy, smiling, without chains, unbiased, but nobody seems to understand, that life is a strict system to control and judge. That is why, I am crazy, and I laugh when the others cry, when they cry wanting to reach fame and glory, but my mind cannot understand. I enjoy the flight of the bird but people want to put it in a cage. I want the animals free in the forest, but all the others want to put it in a cage. I am mad because I live in a world that is too different and insolent, they all think that they are gods, while I don't think that I am special. I want to live in a house without doors and windows but people want doors and windows hard and heavy so nobody can enter or leave.&lt;br /&gt;They cry their dead, while I am happy because they left and their souls are free, they fly by the sky, but people cannot see or understand this. Who am I? I am nobody, but they are the masters of the world, they are sane and enraptured with something that I will never understand.

While he would laugh and cry at the same time.And many persons said: " Listen what are you doing? What game are you playing? Or are you already crazy?"He kept on jumping for a while just as if he was in the middle of a combat, but then, he came in front of the people and said: " It is true that I am playing and I am having a great time."What game are you playing? they said.&lt;br /&gt;He, then, put a somber face, looked down and with a faltering voice while turning around, and almost like groaning, said: " I play, I play, I play like crazy trying to find world Peace."

He was invited, of course, and the celebration was supposed to last for one month. They all wanted to eat and drink unceasingly but a curious fact was that when the Madman asked for food, he would say: " Please, give me very little, very little."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;This expression made people laughed a lot. In an occasion they brought the Madman near the king because the king wanted to have fun. And the king said: " Nobody can be as crazy as this person refusing food." He then asked that his plate and the Madman's plate were brought with abundant meat and condiments. And the Madman said: " No, please, I will not eat."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, the king asked for more meat brought in the Madman's plate but he kept insisting: " No, please, I will not eat." And the king concluded that the man was completely crazy. And said: " In name of this poor lunatic, we will extend the celebration with more food and drinks completely free."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Madman knew, he escaped from the city and went into the fields, feeding on raw vegetables, roots, fruits and seeds. While the townspeople were laughing about him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Three months passed and then they were hit by a plague. The king died of heart failure and many other persons with different diseases of the liver, blood and heart. The situation seemed like a curse. Finally the whole city was sick but the Madman was the only one who did not. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People thought that the Madman had put a curse on them and they looked for him and asked him: " How come that we are sick and you are well. Besides, you have not eaten our delicious food and you refused our abundance."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And he answered: " I did nothing to you and I wish that nothing bad would have happened to you. You were the ones who poisoned yourselves."And they answered: " You refused our food, you are mad and that is your great evil." And it happened that all the people got sick and died. But the Madman was the only one who survived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-5836441352120586276?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/5836441352120586276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=5836441352120586276' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/5836441352120586276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/5836441352120586276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2008/04/celebration-of-townspeople.html' title='The Celebration of the Townspeople.'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/R_1qzQoGXhI/AAAAAAAAA40/hetxHsUFZu8/s72-c/102-U-M-140x640.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-8794370447329173489</id><published>2008-04-07T20:32:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-04-07T20:41:54.375-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friendship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='for reflection'/><title type='text'>Friendship.

Then, he seemed as awakening from a nightmare and raising his voice to the sky, said: " What madness is this that I have locked up myself into? I have covered the space. The natural common people, lock themselves up in small rooms, they seldom raise their eyes to see the light of the sun and much less they come out at night to contemplate the light of the stars. I don't want to fill the spaces any longer. I no longer want to make a tomb out of life, where it only enters the hustle and bustle of many things. I better go and see the empty spaces and I will discover the importance of the nothing. And I will laugh and be joyful just for the sake of it. Then, the empty spaces will be filled with happiness."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-7045493483273315566?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/7045493483273315566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=7045493483273315566' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/7045493483273315566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/7045493483273315566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-fill-empty-spaces-for-reflection.html' title='How to Fill the Empty Spaces.

The man called Madman was walking by the streets repeating unceasingly: " I am lost, I can't find my home!"&lt;br /&gt;And people told him: "How come. Isn't this your town and you have lived here all your life? Tell us, why do you say that you are lost? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; And he said: " You are also lost and you are even more lost that I am."  They laughed and said: " Neither you nor us are lost. You are just crazy." And he answered:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; " You are more lost than I am, because I know at least, that I am lost, but you not even realize it." And jokingly they said : " But this is your house, your home. Don't you know us? How come that you are lost?" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And the Madman said: " I already knew what you are saying but I am lost the same."  And they said: " Then, Madman, from where did you get lost?"

And he was throwing them away.&lt;/strong&gt; The money was blown away by the wind in the street. And soon all his belongings disappeared and then there was nothing left. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;The people scolded the Madman, saying: " You not only threw away all your possessions but all that you had. Now you will have misery and needs. You are crazy! " And he said: " All that can be sold, all that can be bought, will always be superficial and passing, will always come to an end. That is the end of all power and wealth and if I do not have any possessions, then I will be able to reach what overcomes the material value. I will have what I have and nobody will be able to take this away from me. Then, my worth is true and superior." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;But he was not understood and said: " &lt;strong&gt;If you cannot find the primordial value, then, even if you have and keep possessions, you will have nothing because they will possess you&lt;/strong&gt;. I am not slave to nobody. And nobody is my owner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;I live in total madness. This world called this madness, but I called it Freedom. How much is this worth? It does not have a price. That is its true value." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;But people shouted again: " You are crazy." While he kept smiling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Then,  everything passed and people went back to treasure their riches. And the Madman went through great needs. But at the end of the day, he seemed happy, serene and calmed, while the others went through life hidden among bars and chains. And the Madman, would tell them: &lt;strong&gt;" If your riches do not buy your freedom and you do not have peace, then, your riches are not true."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Note: If you are interested in collaborating with us, spreading, translating to other languages or publishing these Inspirational Writings.

And some of the most famous professors of a well known academy wanted to make fun of him and approached him saying: " What is the matter with you, why do you look at yourself in the mirror with timidity and lifeless? "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, he said, babbling as innocent child, starting to speak: " I have this mirror in front but I cannot see myself, I have tried several times. I have come near but I have not seen myself. I have tried to take it by surprise at night, and I even have hidden trying to see me but I didn't. I tried again at noon when there is a lot of light but I could not see myself."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ha, ha, ha, they laughed. And said: " How come that you cannot see yourself? " &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And they stood in front of the mirror saying: " Look at us, or maybe you cannot see us either? How come that we can see ourselves and you said that you cannot see yourself. If this is a mirror, it means that there is an image in front." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the madman who seemed somewhat depressed said: " You cannot understand me yet. I cannot see you in the mirror either."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ha, ha, ha, they laughed. And said:  " Poor lunatic, he is crazier every new day."&lt;br /&gt;And they left laughing. But he still was pensive and when they were at some distance, he said very softly:&lt;br /&gt;" How sad that I cannot see myself in this mirror.

And almost sobbing was saying:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" Light, I want to see the light. Even for an instant I want to see it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somebody, threw  a pail filled with water at him. Then, the Madman separated his hands and opened his eyes, while persons were shouting:&lt;br /&gt;" Tell us Madman, can you see the light now?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Madman said: " &lt;strong&gt;You are blinder than me&lt;/strong&gt; because I am referring to the light that will not change with time, will not disappear by night and even though it was strongly uprooted, it will always stay.

Her face was pale but resplendent. Her dress was black but covered with diamonds at the same time. And the Night was looking at me and I felt ecstatic. &lt;strong&gt;We could communicate without words&lt;/strong&gt; and I felt her hands giving me soft caresses. We lived an intense romance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;But suddenly I heard the voice of a deep silence. It was the Light that was approaching and the Night was leaving me. From that moment on, I do not want to open my eyes, I want everything to be dark, that all lights are turned off &lt;strong&gt;and then to have a perfect placid solitude so in the intimacy of the silence, I can contemplate the Night again."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And the one who had heard the Madman, said to him:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;" You are completely crazy."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And the Madman answered:&lt;br /&gt;"Now, they called madness to Love. &lt;strong&gt;But what do you know about madness.

The battle has lasted for four days, there are thousands of casualties and only one man is alive. How is this possible. It is hard to believe, but this is what happened.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neutral nations were faced with that horror when they went looking for survivors and they could only found smashed bodies and only one survivor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-What happened? they asked him&lt;br /&gt;And he said: -It was as if fierce demons had been untied and they all were fighting each with the other. It seemed that death was having a great party.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But how did you survive? he was asked.&lt;br /&gt;And he answered: - I learned that violence only brings more violence and that Peace is the only worthy arm. Then, I calmed my mind and in that moment I became wind and water. The bullets, knives, blows and arms of all types, were coming over me, but my mind was serene because I believed in Peace in my heart. The violence was happening around like lightning, but I would move to the sides and let it pass. More attacks would come but I would become like water and would flow and they could not trap me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sudenly, a gigantic bomb exploded in front of me and thousands were killed in an instant; their tongues became ashes before their bodies fell to the ground.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; But in that moment, I felt as if earth and heaven were supporting me and an inner voice said: " In the serenity, in the calmness, and non violence, is found the victory." And then, I found that I was the only survivor but I was very sad for what had happened here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the ones who had asked him, moved away while thinking:&lt;br /&gt;-This one has survived but he is completely mad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-2858261902507760312?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/2858261902507760312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=2858261902507760312' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2858261902507760312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/2858261902507760312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2008/02/violence-and-peace-for-reflection.html' title='Violence and Peace.

The hours pass, everything turns dark, but that small lake seems resplendent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stars in the sky shine in a beautiful way. But the man known as the madman, does not raise his head to look at them, on the contrary, he looks at the center of the lake, instead, where small lights are reflected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he says:&lt;br /&gt;-By looking to the sky, I could never reach you, but now I do, and you are so near that I would like to kiss you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While he thinks:-The world may think that I am mad. But are not also mad, all those who discover love?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-4823891402255051659?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/4823891402255051659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=4823891402255051659' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/4823891402255051659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/4823891402255051659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2007/10/small-lake.html' title='THE  SMALL  LAKE'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/Rx6DvU2DcsI/AAAAAAAAAlM/1q41Di7inLw/s72-c/5-N-u-5x480-flash.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669121594356333008.post-3940248893778806733</id><published>2007-10-20T13:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-10-20T14:06:08.791-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Indifference'/><title type='text'>WHY DID HE DIE ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/RxpBxo1HBGI/AAAAAAAAAj8/dduZySNF_YY/s1600-h/arte+del+amor+2.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123479847116932194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/RxpBxo1HBGI/AAAAAAAAAj8/dduZySNF_YY/s400/arte+del+amor+2.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the town of the man called the madman, there was a crime. In the scene, there were a heart, an scorpion, a stick and a stone. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;-How did he die?- said the experts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of them said:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;-This person was bitten by the scorpion and that is the reason that he died.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;But another person refuted:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;-The impact was too strong, he died because he was hit by a stone.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Another person said:&lt;br /&gt;-No, it cannot be. A stick pierced his heart.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;While the man called madman by his townspeople, was taciturn, watching the scene and said:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Gentlemen, it is not like that.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;And the people said:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;-What can you know? You are mad.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;And he said:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;-If this person would have been bitten by an scorpion, the pain would have been deep and terrible but he certainly would not die. If he would have been hit with a stone, the heart would have been destroyed. If it would have been with a stick, we still would see the stick piercing the heart. His death as every death is a tragedy but this tragedy is even larger. It has not been the scorpion, the stone or the stick. Do not you realize? Do not you see that heart? Can't you understand? I am the madman, of course, and you are sane, but what killed this heart was something even more terrible, unimaginable, unconceivable. It has all the signs, all the characteristics for dying of everything and by everything but that heart died of nothing. He died because he was subject to the most terrible torture and he died because of the savage and cruel indifference. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mystic Healing Art&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7669121594356333008-3940248893778806733?l=the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/feeds/3940248893778806733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7669121594356333008&amp;postID=3940248893778806733' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/3940248893778806733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7669121594356333008/posts/default/3940248893778806733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-wisdom-of-the-madman.blogspot.com/2007/10/why-did-he-die.html' title='WHY DID HE DIE ?'/><author><name>Inspirational</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_cSWRCl2LmLs/RxpBxo1HBGI/AAAAAAAAAj8/dduZySNF_YY/s72-c/arte+del+amor+2.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
