Preliminary Note

I have taken almost three years to complete this story. And it hasn’t been because it is difficult to narrate, but because deep down I couldn’t finish it. I didn’t quite know how to do it. In reality, I don’t think this story has an ending. As she once told me, sometimes stories just end, although certainly, this one has taken me a long time.

During this time, I have shared with her many notes of all my work, both past and future. And all the beauty of this world. And words and silences; the most beautiful words hidden in the deepest silence; this is how she expresses herself, in a wonderfully discreet manner. And music and magic, above all music and magic, because only she knows how to perform true thaumaturgy. Love and Evolution, that is what we created, something that doesn’t seem to be within reach of everyone. If anyone has earned Heaven so far, it has been her. This entire work is also hers, and I told her so when the time came, but she would never steal the spotlight from anyone. And this is only within the reach of a sublime Soul.

However, it is true that on more than one occasion I wanted to convince myself that I could end this story with what had happened up to that moment. But no. I knew I couldn’t; I was sure that something was missing. There was a void, something that never quite fit into place.

The coincidences were illuminating the beginning for me, but they never quite shed light on how to finish. Finally, «luck» brought me the moment, it brought me the how, and most importantly, that necessary someone to finish it, the Precious Cinderella. Although I believe that none of what happens to us is a result of chance. Moreover, I know that I don’t need to understand things; it usually suffices for me to accept them.

Let’s see.

Normally, a coincidence is nothing more than that, a mere coincidence. However, all coincidences together end up forming a system, an order. Perhaps a hidden order, perhaps an order with a hidden logic. But this is the least important part. What truly matters is knowing how to see through them (I mean, the coincidences, of course). And for this, it is necessary to consider something that is quite obvious, which is that the more improbable the causes that give rise to those coincidences are, the more relevant they are to you and your entire life. Even if at first glance they seem to be nothing more than that, mere and simple coincidences.

But I want to emphasize that the essence of this story (and that of almost all stories) is not the coincidences themselves, but what they really mean to each of us.

My purpose with this book is not to entertain, but to tell. To tell and to show. To tell a story about evolution. And to show the love that has been born from it and for it. A love that has cost a lot because evolving is never free. Nothing in this life is.

This tale narrates a journey. A journey that describes the coincidences I have lived and experienced with other souls in this world, whose beauty of essence I have wanted to show on these pages, through the different forms their names take. This means that everything narrated here is rigorously true in its essence, even though the way of narrating it has been embellished.

However, I must confess that my intention from the beginning has always been to write and share this story for all those who fear showing their true essence. All those who, for some reason, are afraid to free their soul. And to unleash the love they carry within. Because this is a love story.

A story of the loving bonds that connect each and every one of us in this world. Compassionate love, brotherly love, paternal love, erotic love, romantic love… And my favorite, the Everlasting Love. The love with a capital L, infinite and eternal. That does not fight and does not conquer; that does not spoil; that does not doubt and does not fear; that does not ask and does not know. That is born from me to you. And nothing more.

Even so, I owe this journey to many people. So many that they cannot all fit here; so many who have passed through my life. I am grateful to all of them. In reality, this journey is a piece of my life. A life like any other. Perhaps the only difference is the form, or the resilience. Or maybe, the certainty that I wanted to remember things I no longer recalled to relive them again, to feel them once more. Perhaps that, and nothing else, is the true purpose of our lives. The true essence of Evolution. To be able to do it just a little bit better than the last time.

I must clarify that the title of this story was born within me spontaneously, which teaches me that evolution is completely unpredictable, and also beautiful. The moment I conceived the word ‘sentiscientive’ was precisely to realize that ‘I knew I was feeling something, and especially, what it was that I was feeling.’ Since then, I have not stopped feeling, which teaches me another thing. And that is that evolution, besides being unpredictable, is also irreversible. There is no way to go back. This magnifies all its beauty.

All of this makes perfect sense, because this story is about how the true ability to feel can elevate us to higher levels of our own evolution. And evolving without resistance is what should truly matter to us and occupy our lives.

Before I begin, I want to thank my three children, because they are always the ones who have to put up with their father. And of course, also to their mother, who without a doubt was for a long time the person who had to endure my lack of direction with the most determination. I hope that one day she can fully forgive me.
