• 00:55:00 In the first stage, love was intense and in the second, it was greed for eternity. In the third stage, interior consciousness is needed to reach god. It is curious that Juan Ramón Jiménez, a modern mystic, does not seem to be living in the modern world and expressing the identity of the new mystic contemporary, Manuel Ballester. When he writes a book about poetry and experience in the canto of Saint John of the Cross, published by Valente with José Lara Garrido as hermenéutic and mystical message to the cross, the mystic says that he lives behind what is transcendent, without transcendence.
