El refugio interior

Abstract

The text explores the struggle between the perception of reality and the dimension of imagination and fantasy in human life. Through quotes from authors like Michael Ende, Blake, and Ginsberg, it discusses how routine and reason can limit our ability to experience and express the freedom of the soul. The figure of the "inner refuge" is presented as a treasure that allows for self-discovery and connection with the sacred and the fantastic. It critiques the tendency to accept a flat and shallow reality, which denies the creative and spiritual potential of the human being. It posits that life has a greater purpose that lies beyond rational understanding and that often distances us from the true meaning of existence, which is linked to imagination and freedom.
