I will Never stop Loving

My soul found strange paths, where I faced a forest of thistle and thorns. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Fair of the Future

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: "

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.

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."

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."

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?
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.
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."

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.

The World has gone Mad

"The world has gone mad and in its madness has turned beauty into vanity, has changed the spiritual into material; now honor and dignity have a price; values are bought and sold; respect has turned into hypocrisy and the day of the light is all artificial.
Few lovers feel romance and tenderness. Beauty, now, means how much I can make or lose. This world has gone mad and in its madness has become enemy of God.
Men destroy nature, killing life, even in the wombs, deny their brothers and make strangers out of everybody, exploiting and degrading them. 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. People live for the sake of living and happiness is now a crazy laugh, or a full cup of liquor, or one cigarette after the other. Truth is overlooked. The world has gone mad."

The madman was reflecting like this and not out of madness but rather by going deep into the subject, while trying to understand. But the townspeople see him as a man who has gone mad.

The Fundamental and Primordial Mystery

Faith is a fundamental and primordial mystery.
But isn't the night as well ?
She appears to totally lack light.
But, nevertheless,
she is the perfect frame,
for the resplendent
and most pure,
light of the stars.

Just Be Yourself

The human being, often is, a complex psychological mechanism. 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.

The Wealth found in Giving

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.

I can see a Mountain in a Grain of Sand

Truth may be invisible to the human eye since it is not seen with a regular glance but for the spiritual eye; the great differences are not differences but the play of equilibrium, the perfect balance, the sacred dance of life.

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 child is the old man and the old man is the child. And all the eyes -even the ones that have not seen the light been born- are in his eyes. Who is small, who is big ? Since it truly is not the size or the distance. It is the work which make us the same. Good or evil.

You are mad, mad, mad !

It happened that the townspeople wanted to know more about the man called the Madman and they took him to the square and since they didn't know what to say or to ask, they started saying:

" You are mad, mad, mad."

And all together they said: " Madman, you are the madman."

And he said: " I assume that this is not a question but an statement. I affirm that more than any thing, you need to call me mad because in that way you confirm your sanity but I don't need to confirm my sanity, that is why, I only listen while you call me mad. Now, tell me, who is the madman?"

Riches and Power.

Riches and power are the broken toys of the most ignorant men.

The Wisdom of the Madman on Povery and Misery.

In the town of the man called Madman, many great economists got together with learned men in the finances and their advisers since the government of the town had decided to put an end to poverty, misery and needs.
Every possible measurement was taken in order to study every case, every person ,and the ideal responsibility has been reached: Everybody will get to be a business man. They all will reach their dreams.
Then, they asked the man called Madman his opinion. And he said: " The man who lives out of the promises is like the one who is chained to his dreams because he does not want to lose them and he will never be able to be awake. What you called progress here, is as always, the success of a few and the slavery of the rest."
" You are crazy" he was told. And he answered: " It is true that I am mad and the reason is that I realized that dreadful reality."
And they kept on calling him Madman.

The Wisdom of the Madman on Love.

There was a great commotion in the town of the man called the Madman, because Love had been lost, Love had escaped. It happened that a very cold night Love open the window and simply went away. The doors had not been broken, nobody stole Love, it simply got away.
They searched door by door, street by street and could not find Love, then they went searching to the fields and Love was not there either.
Where was Love? Lost? Hidden? After searching everywhere, they went to the house of the Madman and to their surprise, Love was there.
They all were commenting " of all places, this should be the most unlikely."
And the townspeople asked the Madman: " What have you done? What was Love looking for here? What is Love doing here? "
And the Madman said: " This is the house of Love because you might not understand that there is and will always be madness in Love for eternity."

The Wisdom of the Madman on Loneliness.

The townspeople got together with the learned men of the town to ponder over profound subjects. 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
" Loneliness"
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."
And they were applauded by many but in truth, they all wanted to be heard and applauded.
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.

"When the townspeople and learned men heard those words, they said: " That man is crazy."

And he answered: " In truth, we all are lonely in this place."

Another type of Madmen. For Reflection.

Some learned men were together discussing about life and death and then they went into more complicated subjects talking about eternity and started to congratulate each other, saying:
" We are eternal and when our body dies we will be like the caterpillar becoming butterfly."
Then, they heard a big laugh, it was the man named Madman, who started to laugh and laugh saying: " You have thought so much that you have become eternal butterflies, but I would rather be caterpillar before becoming butterfly for all eternity."
And he also said: " Why do you pretend to be eternal? 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. The animal soul may die and embody but their destination is not eternity, but the one who has soul and spirit is able to faithfully be in the paths of the Creator. But, you butterflies, boast too much, and your nature does not seem to be spiritual."
When the learned men heard this, they answered: " You are mad and you do not know what you are talking about."
And the Madman replied: " I may be mad because I have lost the reason because of Love of God but you are butterflies or better said, another type of madmen, dreaming about becoming owners of eternity."

Some Day You Will Understand.

The Madman was walking by a small forest, picking the fallen leaves while a group of youngsters passed by him and said:
" Hey you madman, why do you pick the fallen leaves that are good for nothing, why not to pick the green ones that have life and color? And the Madman answered:
" I would never pick the leaves of a tree or of a plant because it would be like getting blind, like removing an arm or leg. But I pick the fallen leaves because I walk behind the steps of Wisdom. Those leaves have a story and although they are not green anymore, they carry in them so many wonderful experiences because in them, are the stories of the light, the sun, the light of the stars, the dew of the morning, the rain of the afternoon and the singing of the birds. On each fallen leave that I pick, there is poetry and a love story."
But the youngsters could not understand and said: " Those are leaves and nothing else."
But within his heart, he said: " Some day, you will understand."

The Wisdom of the Madman. Asking and Giving.

And that voice was saying: " I love you very much, I love you like the stars to the night. I love you like the light to the day. And because I love you so much, I will always ask you for more and more, and the day will come when you will not be able to give more.

And that day, I will stand in front of the sea and even though the sea had turned dry, I will ask: Who can satiate my thirst now?

Then, I will travel the earth looking for what I cannot find; and after, I will look at the blue sky and tell God:

I love you and for that reason, give me what I ask for."
