- 0:00So much cha choto, a little bit or maybe a little bit is enough
- 0:17to reflect on life. We always go almost as in automatic, not in
- 0:21the middle of all the things that happen to us. We don' t
- 0:24get up or at least one gets up or I get up. I have
- 0:27a coffee and then, I go to work, breakfast at work and then
- 0:34to rest or almost to the beef. Well, almost one does mechanic or
- 0:38rather automatic stuff, I mean, and one doesn' t think for a
- 0:43moment, hey, I have to pause, I have to stop for a
- 0:48moment to think and analyze things, well, the mural of the soul.
- 0:51I think you' re going to try to do that by starting with this
- 0:55your servant and host, David Fernando, and Iguera, who, as I
- 0:59have told you on many occasions, I learn when when when I make these
- 1:03recordings of these podcasts in audio or video, beyond preparing the script, of
- 1:10preparing the source where I extract all these reflections and the respective application, both
- 1:19of the daily and everyday things go through one or not or suddenly have passed
- 1:23around, but always leading it to God and the Bible, because I learn
- 1:27so much at the end so that when I finish recording some episode of this,
- 1:34that is, when we do postproduction, see that I learn enough and
- 1:40not only say good. You missed this. We need to improve this,
- 1:42but beyond that, we need to make adjustments. With the passing of time,
- 1:48one learns, not only you, but I also learn, so rich
- 1:52this experience and thanks from now on for the support that allows us to do
- 1:57more and better content. How so that easy support Fernando when you reproduce all
- 2:01these episodes, as it is a contribution that you make for us, little
- 2:07by little, to improve technically this whole matter of the mural of the soul.
- 2:13Thank you for listening to us and seeing us on YouTube, where they
- 2:16find us as the mural of the soul, on Facebook, on Facebook as
- 2:21well and, of course, on all podcast platforms, very well known.
- 2:23We are in Spotify, in Deeaser, in Apple Podcast, Google Podcast,
- 2:30in Udible, in igh Heart, on all platforms. We are available,
- 2:34welcome and we will reflect together. Well, my people, moment of reflection
- 2:43of the day of the day, here in the mural of the soul.
- 2:47Well, there' s an interesting reflection and it has to do with a
- 2:53historical fact. After the battle of assing Court, which was won by Henry
- 2:59I of England, it is said that this king was thinking that this victory
- 3:05would bring great honors to him and his soldiers and wanting to recognize divine providence
- 3:10in it, he ordered the chaplain to read a psalm of David. When
- 3:17the chaplain read the words, he opened quotation marks, not to us,
- 3:23O Lord, not to us, but to your name the glory that that
- 3:28is Psalm one hundred and fifteen one Comillas close. The king came down from
- 3:30his horse and the cavalry did the same and all at one time, from
- 3:38the king to the last soldier, fell down touching their faces on the ground.
- 3:46Interesting is the reflection I bring here today, the illustration that will serve
- 3:52us as a platform for today' s reflection. But let' s talk
- 3:58a little bit about this battle in wikipa. The battle of Assing Court was
- 4:01an unexpected victory. Look at what Wikipedia points out and I am powerfully struck
- 4:08by it. It was an unexpected victory that the English forces achieved over the
- 4:15French troops in the autumn of the year 1, 415 in this population of
- 4:21northern France, during the course of the so- called 100- year war.
- 4:27That what is the war of the hundred years, for it was an
- 4:29armed conflict between France and England that lasted one hundred and sixteen years. From
- 4:33the 24th of May from one thousand three hundred and thirty- seven to the
- 4:3919th of October from one thousand four hundred and fifty- three. The conflict
- 4:43was feudal in nature, as the purpose was to resolve who would control the
- 4:48additional lands between these two territories. Well, a matter that I come back
- 4:54and say does not belong to us, because this is not a history podcast,
- 4:58this is a reflection podcast. But I have to make a historical point
- 5:00to put us all in context. Asing Kurt was a key milestone in that
- 5:06very long conflict that began a new phase of it in which the English took
- 5:13over Media France, which was largely outnumbered by duplicate sex. According to some
- 5:19sources, Henry V' s soldiers in England sought to restore their king'
- 5:25s rights over the territories his crown possessed over or in France. So,
- 5:32well, beyond the historical fact, I want to focus so that you already
- 5:40know what this battle of Sinkurt is like, which was part of the events
- 5:45of the 100- year- old war. Here' s something interesting and
- 5:49I think it' s a theme that already speaks in another episode or in
- 5:55other episodes here, of the mural of the soul and it has to do
- 6:00with recognition, with glory. But, since there have been quite a few
- 6:06episodes where we have talked about many things, it is necessary to remember again
- 6:15what or what man. When we achieve triumphs in life, to whom we
- 6:21attribute them to ourselves. Now, then, logic tells us that we should
- 6:28attribute the triumphs to ourselves, because we, either individually or collectively, have
- 6:33attributed ourselves to some merit by achieving a goal, by achieving a dream,
- 6:41of a goal already achieved. But here the important thing is to give glory
- 6:49to God, because I must give glory to God beyond the Bible, the
- 6:57book of books mentions it. It is because all things God has arranged them.
- 7:03God has disposed of wisdom, God has disposed of knowledge, and God
- 7:09has arranged all the circumstances we currently see for it. But I want to
- 7:19focus on the fact that everything is created by him and for him and from
- 7:25him comes all wisdom, talent, gift, capacity and virtue. Why,
- 7:30because no one is born known, none of us is born with the gift,
- 7:35with the chip there inserted, not just now suddenly. Maybe that doesn
- 7:43' t come there, but no one has discovered it until so long.
- 7:47There are certain circumstances going on in life that it' s like it catches
- 7:51my eye. I' m gonna work this out. Les. I'
- 7:55ll give you a personal example. As for the theme of music, as
- 8:03I told you in the previous episode, if you haven' t seen it,
- 8:07I recommend you see it and listen to it. It' s called
- 8:11poisons and you tell me write in the comments how you share this issue of
- 8:20poisons in society. But, well, that' s not the thing I
- 8:26have no idea, at least what I think, in my common sense as
- 8:31a child, I had no idea that I had musical skills. When my
- 8:35mom tells me that I took the pots, the pot drums, and that
- 8:43my mom said that I took a mallet or a grinder, a bucket,
- 8:48and I played. I played So and of course, that' s the
- 8:58deafest sound there is, if you like, because no one can stand that
- 9:03a little peel, that a Chinese, that a child, makes that kind
- 9:07of noise because it' s unbearable. But look are things that in one
- 9:13in principle like you are discovering, discovering and over the years, when I
- 9:20was studying at Good School, I carried out my first frustration because in music
- 9:26class everyone played different instruments and because of the question of acquisition or purchasing power,
- 9:33we could hardly buy a sweet flute. I had that first frustration why,
- 9:41because my throat is not designed to play a wind instrument or maybe I
- 9:46don' t know how to play it in its time and that' s
- 9:48why I said no me, like I' d better stay in my throat
- 9:52I don' t serve to play sweet flute. At some point I was
- 9:56struck by tambourine or tambourine. Well, the tambourine, because it' s
- 10:01the one with the patch. The tambourine is the one that is only the
- 10:05rattles and the bow ok to make distinction, not because one thing is tambourine
- 10:09and another thing is tambourine, they are totally different. The thing is,
- 10:13I bought eretta bread and I remember very well that I looked for a brush.
- 10:22I don' t remember the measure of the brush and what I did
- 10:26was, then, pretend that it had like a portable battery, because I
- 10:33played a certain rhythmic pattern on the patch and another rhythmic pattern on the edge
- 10:39and the finishing of dishes. I was doing it with the rattles. Even
- 10:43I was looking for a jar like milk from those who have the lid,
- 10:48like plastic or something, pretending it was the box, the redoubling. So
- 10:56the experiment is interesting. Another point I remember very well is that one of
- 11:07my cousins had given me my first piano or my first keyboard was a small
- 11:13keyboard. I calculate two octaves and my memory doesn' t fail. Those
- 11:20who have no idea of the music I invite you and leave you a task.
- 11:22Look for that eighth. Look it' s eighth, because this one
- 11:26doesn' t use a music podcast either. But I' m using the
- 11:31question to cause it the reflection I want to share with you. And,
- 11:37well, I discovered that I identified tones to ears empirically, without the slightest
- 11:45knowledge and unwillingly, they emulated the melodies I listened to and the chords.
- 11:50Then I realized. I said Hey, this is cool And well, after
- 11:56time, well, there I was trained in very basic concepts of musical theory,
- 12:03of scales, of chords, the whole musical part, practical theory.
- 12:09And also because that led me to a passion also very cool, which is
- 12:13the story. I like the story. I am very curious and behind the
- 12:18music, because there is history how the music was founded, how it was
- 12:22created, how from the biblical origin with Jubal. There I leave you another
- 12:28task to find Jubal, in whom Jubal was, because it' s in
- 12:33the Bible, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
- 12:33So until you get to African sounds and the whole theme of musical genres.
- 12:39Anyway, another curious thing. Another curious thing about music. I already told
- 12:48them the part about the percussion. I already told them the part, let
- 12:54' s say, of electronic string, like the piano, but I didn
- 13:01' t tell them the part of the strings. I was at the house
- 13:05of one of my aunts on my dad' s side and I remember very
- 13:09well that I was given to lower my aunt' s guitar that was hanging
- 13:16on the wall of her room. And I remember exploring all the strings,
- 13:22the six strings of the guitar, but I became familiar with that of the
- 13:31third up, third, fourth or rather fourth, fifth and sixth. Not
- 13:35third, fourth. I' m not forgetting. Oh God, my first,
- 13:39second, third, sixth, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.
- 13:43OK, and then it got easy on me and I explored something.
- 13:48I said hey, this sounds so nice and then I discovered that there was
- 13:54the very famous bass string percussive instrument. The bass bass is the bass,
- 14:00there is the electro acoustic bass that has similarity to the guitar, and there
- 14:05is the electric bass that we have all known and some have confused with the
- 14:09electric guitar. But it' s not the electric bass. And then,
- 14:15from there, because that question was born that I then concluded at the time
- 14:22and age that I have to hear, I have vein for music, I
- 14:26have desire for music. And then he was born. And so, thank
- 14:35God that I performed in performing piano percussion instruments under guitar drums, it didn
- 14:45' t cost me. The truth is, I had a hard time playing
- 14:50guitar, and I got frustrated I got frustrated. I' ve always wanted
- 14:54to play guitar at some point, at some point. I don' t
- 14:58have that agility in my fingers I wanted to play guitar until I discovered a
- 15:05few years ago. I think it was for the year two thousand nineteen Hey,
- 15:09the same year that this was born from the mural of the soul.
- 15:13That same two thousand nineteen was born a curiosity for a chiquitic instrument of four
- 15:22strings that was managed in Portuguese lands, but that spread in Brazil And then
- 15:30what is today the archipelago of Hawaii And I said Hey is like chévere.
- 15:37I never thought there was an instrument called uculele. I never imagined it.
- 15:45And so thanks to YouTube, because well, YouTube is your academy for everything
- 15:50simple and I just learned and because I made my pines with the Internet,
- 15:56on YouTube and I discovered that I could play this four- string fourth instrument,
- 16:02something underestimated, but that I said wow. I love it. I
- 16:04love to luculiate, because it' s a string instrument like I' ve
- 16:08always wanted to play it. It is very simple to play, although simple,
- 16:14because it also has its complex things. When people who touch me uculele
- 16:18think it' s uy that' s easy. I don' t make
- 16:23it easy, but it' s not. And I am realizing as I
- 16:27explore this instrument that is not. What do I count all this wagon for,
- 16:33why to teach him something. I thank God and glory to God,
- 16:37because man, I think I was born with that ability to, for example,
- 16:42be a musician and hear God' s credits because it allows me to
- 16:48express music. It' s a very nice art. Now let us apply
- 16:52it to reflection and return to it. You what you know how to do
- 16:56that you' ve gotten in life what you' ve done and you say
- 17:00I got the sweaty fat drop. It wasn' t easy, I fought
- 17:06her, I mean, with blood, sweat and tears almost exaggerating. I
- 17:11got what I wanted, what I dreamt, what I seem to have thought
- 17:15unattainable. I did it, I did it. I don' t know
- 17:22what that is you already got, but know something about God. Everything comes,
- 17:30everything, the genesis of everything we see is in God. Of talents,
- 17:34of gifts, of abilities, of abilities. They come from God.
- 17:38Always give glory to God. Even if you, who listen to me,
- 17:44have not achieved what you have wanted, because give glory to God in advance,
- 17:48when you and I read the credits to God, my dear friend,
- 17:52my dear friend, he will be the number one sponsor of our dreams and
- 17:56in our longings and we will do well in simple and simple life, as
- 18:00well as King Henry V of England and the entire English army in this battle
- 18:07of assing Kurt as part of the war of the hundred years. They said
- 18:11what the psalm says, not this psalm that we were reading or referring to
- 18:18rather Psalm one hundred and fifteen one. When he says not to us,
- 18:21O Lord, not to us, but to your name the glory, let
- 18:25us give the credits to God. Yes, we have done it at our
- 18:29hand, it came out of our inventiveness, but we are of God.
- 18:32We come from God, and therefore understanding, wisdom, and knowledge come from
- 18:36God. I already told her about a song by René González that is called
- 18:41what we are worth inviting her to listen to her on her favorite platform on
- 18:45YouTube and she' s going to realize the lyrics so powerful, of that
- 18:48song that invites us when we are in front of the people, when the
- 18:52curtain opens, the curtain and we show ourselves to the people to make known
- 18:57and to give everything on our side, we always at the end of the
- 19:02show, at the end of the day, at the end of the agenda,
- 19:06we can always give the glory to the one who deserves it. Credits
- 19:10for God. The footballers do it, the singers do it, for example,
- 19:15Juan Luis Guerra, who has an impressive trajectory, with the bachata,
- 19:18with the merengue, with the asalsa, with everything tropical, the father of
- 19:22the bachata always goes to his concerts and how many romantic songs that put us
- 19:29to dance, that they put us to gonzar, that they put us romanticones
- 19:33and songs that speak of God. But always, whenever the concert ends,
- 19:36it always gives glory to God. To cite one of many examples of very
- 19:41famous people who give glory to God. And if it is to the famous
- 19:45people, then how much more each of us give glory to God, because,
- 19:48at the end of the day, it is all about him and all
- 19:51things come from him, who implanted them in us and that we, over
- 19:53the years, were discovering. It' s something else. So, dear
- 19:56friends of the mural, of the soul all the credits. When we achieve
- 20:03dreams, longings, the peak of success, let us always recognize them goodbye.
- 20:10All the glory is taken away by the one above. My name,
- 20:12Luis Fernandriguera. Ends today' s episode. Thank you for coming with me
- 20:15and I invite you to spread this to whoever you want and we find ourselves
- 20:19in the next episode to continue to stretch together here in the mural of the soul boy
