 The Mind Games Today I discovered something extraordinary. The external world does not exist. Everything around me, including people, objects, and events, exists only in my mind. They do not exist outside of it. Everything is a product of my imagination. It is my imagination that invents what happens to me at every moment. Thus, my life unfolds along the paths dictated by my imagination. We exist only in each other's minds.   Los juegos de la mente Hoy he descubierto algo extraordinario. El mundo exterior no existe. Lo que me rodea, incluidas personas, objetos y eventos están solo en mi mente. No existen fuera de ella. Todo es producto de mi imaginación. Ella es la que inventa lo que me ocurre en cada instante. De manera que mi vida transcurre por los caminos que dicta mi imaginación. No existimos sino en la mente de cada uno.

She It was a dark night, with no shadows. He was driving absentmindedly on an unpaved road when, on a sharp curve, the headlights illuminated the figure of a woman. He turned the wheel quickly to try not to hit her but it was impossible. He braked the vehicle and got out quickly to help her. She then realized that she was dead. The headlights of his vehicle illuminated the macabre scene. He dragged her, with great difficulty, away from the road, and hid her behind some bushes. He returned home and that night he could not fall asleep; at dawn, he fell asleep. He woke up a while later remembering the accident. He got up and raised the blinds on the bedroom window. The image of the run-over woman was reflected in the mirror, sitting on the edge of the bed. He turned around terrified and there she was, with a trickle of blood coming down from the corner of her lips. She stayed to live with him forever. Already on his deathbed, she confessed that the accident was not even a coincidence. Aft...

 Language and Other Extraordinary Stories The other day I was telling my dog  about the time that had to pass since humans invented language, until all animals, some before and others after, began to understand and speak the language of humans. With a certain contemptuous air, my dog told me that, although mastering language had cost them a little more, they had other abilities that human beings did not possess and have never possessed. For one reason or another, they can detect the presence of invisible forces from the ethereal world. Slowly drinking the beer from him, and hiding his gaze under some modern sunglasses, my dog ​​ told me: -If you could see what I see, it would worry you. There is a being of light behind you that identifies itself as the future being that you will soon become. So you must value language appropriately compared to other abilities that you have not been able to acquire.   El lenguaje y otros cuentos extraordinarios El otro día le...

ANNOUNCEMENT After an endless day of work, I fell exhausted on the couch and fell asleep. And in that dream, something very strange came to visit me. I say 'something' because it was a sensation. The sensation that something or someone behind me kept staring at me. Fear made me ask: -What or who are you? The answer came without delay: -We are all from the other side, and we are here to communicate to you that when you come, which will be very soon, we will be waiting for you and we will celebrate a party with you to remember that we are eternal. When you wake up, you won't remember anything, you'll feel very happy, although you won't know why. And when your spirits are low, your inner self will remind you that you will always be here, with all of us.                            Image generated by Aitubo                           ...

 A Blessing from God He was born with eyes near the back of his head, so he had to learn to walk backward. He also had to learn to use mirrors to put food in his mouth. That peculiarity had cut him off from the world, and so he learned to develop paranormal faculties. He only had contact with the outside world through the internet. In his small studio, he learned, also with mirrors, to operate the computer and to use his premonitory gifts to help people in need. Nobody could help him, could they? After an operation that lasted thirty hours, a group of surgeons managed to bring his eyes into their empty sockets. That's how he was able to see in a new way. And it was a blessing from God to all those who knew him.   Una bendición de Dios Había nacido con los ojos cerca de la nuca, así que tuvo que aprender a andar hacia atrás. También tuvo que aprender a utilizar espejos para poder llevarse los alimentos a la boca. Aquella particularidad lo había alejado del mundo, y as...

 Wings to Breathe He was born in the silence of a summer night. He spent his childhood unable to breathe. He was blue and in his solitude, he nourished dreams of having a friend with whom to fly through the skies. He imagined flying high, with the air caressing his plumage that would no longer be blue. It happened without expecting it. He spread his wings, and then, in an instant, the alveoli of his lungs opened, and he began to breathe. He breathed so deeply that the abyss in which he had lived became small, small and finally disappeared. His plumage was an intense red and when he began to fly, he ascended and ascended and when he was very high, someone went to meet him and accompanied him for the rest of his days.   Alas para respirar Nació en el silencio de una noche de verano. Pasó su niñez sin poder respirar. Era azul y en su soledad alimentaba los sueños de tener un amigo con el que surcar los cielos. Se imaginaba volando alto, con el aire acariciando su plumaj...

 Be Reborn And after being reborn he appreciated the company of water and air more than ever. His tears merged with the blue of the sea that had brought him back to life. He cherished the emotion of seeing again the beings who had accompanied him through time for eons. And his thoughts penetrated the unfathomable mysteries of life. Thus, after crossing the doors of the absolute, he was able to die again, so as not to die.   Renacer Y después de renacer apreció más que nunca la compañía del agua y del aire. Sus lágrimas se fundieron con el azul del mar que le había vuelto a la vida. Acarició la emoción de volver a ver a los seres que durante eones le habían acompañado a través del tiempo. Y sus pensamientos penetraron en los insondables misterios de la vida. Así, después de cruzar las puertas de lo absoluto, pudo volver a morir, para no morir.

    The Old Flesh Suit He was awakened by the familiar shrill sound of the old clock. He got up ready to win that day, which the previous night seemed to him would last forever. At that moment he remembered when he came to Earth with a single purpose: to coexist with humans and report reports to his superiors. It was the time of Cyrus the Great, which is currently thirty centuries old in the 23rd century. And it seemed like he had arrived yesterday. He put on the meat clothes that he had worn since that time and left the house without looking back. It was his last day on Earth. Those meat clothes had worked a miracle: he felt like a human and now it was difficult for him to abandon everything that he had experienced for thirty centuries. He had experienced human history as one of them, although immortal. His metal frame had remained hidden and so it should be until he boarded the spaceship that would take him back home. He did not count on the long spaceship that hit his mini ...
