EXISTENTIAL DECALOGUE to manage me through life
1 – I don’t know who I am, nor am I interested. I don’t see anyone inside me.
2 – I do not follow any tradition or teacher. I don’t lean on the past.
3 – I don’t feel guilty about anything. I would not remove or change anything that happened.
4 – I am not afraid to die. It is not necessary to extend life if it has been lived.
5 – I don’t need to attack anyone. It does not make me evolve if I destroy others.
6 – I’m not doing anything. There is no someone in me who does something, there are actions.
7 – I do not believe in anything that I believe nor do I believe in anything that others believe. I don’t believe.
8 – I am not in a body or on a planet. I am not passing through life. I don’t exist.
9 – There is no possibility that you know me. I have no idea what I am like.
10 – I do not agree or disagree with anyone. No need to argue.
Many will think that I am not religious, that I am atheist or agnostic, that I do not believe in God or in other lives …
If that is what you think of me, you are as wrong as you are right. It’s just one side of the coin. You have not yet discovered what I am and what I feel. Those who succeed will simply feel in their hearts that a tiny part of the SUPREME TRUTH has caressed their soul.
I WILL CONTINUE GIVING CLUES OF WHAT I AM NOT, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS IN YOURSELF.

Paula, my partner, came with our 1-year-old daughter Amelys, Elián and Aneley, 19, two of the three children I had with Marisa. There was also Anahí, 6 years old, whom I had with Conchi.
There were no cake or candles, just looks, words, and laughter.
That day I wanted to give them a gift; I gave them a code of suggestions for family coexistence that I wrote for them and that said:
