Today is my birthday. I am 89 years old. I recall an experience I had when I was eight years old. I have been diagnosed with a severe case of gastrointestinal illness. The prognosis was not good. I spend most of my days in bed. I was very ill.
One night I had a dream. I was in a tunnel. I was moving very fast toward a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel. I was happy. I was not affray.
Then I heard a man’s voice. Saying: “He is not ready yet. He must go back.” It was a beautiful man’s voice. It was a commanding voice! He was not mad but imperious. He was not talking to me.
I woke up. My mother entered the room, and I told her about my dream. She did not say anything but went very pale. Whiting half an hour, my whole family was there. The family, Dr. Santiago Rodriguez-Febles, and Father Ricardo from the Parish. All of them asked about the dream. Father Ricardo gave me a prayer book and said, “Pray a lot, my son.” Frankly, I did not understand. It was just a dream! What is the fuss all about? The point is that I have never heard about after-life experiences. I was only eight and sick.
On my birthday, I thank you, Father. You gave me a second chance. I am doing my best not to disappoint you.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.

My name is Julian L Sevillano. I am the Executive Director of this space that aims to disseminate pertinent information about the human brain, emphasizing brain neuroplasticity and the tools that can help us weather our circumstances. My mission is to bring some hope regarding the dilemma of people of all ages. And the difficulty is because we not only have to fight with problems that our condition brings but also with what adaptation to the results of the pandemic and the so-called "New Normal" entails. Notice to the reader that I said "our condition" since I just turned 86! I continued my studies at Harvard Extension School in Fundamentals of Neuroscience. I obtained Certificates in the Electrical Properties of Neurons, Neural Networks and Neurons and The Brain. I previously studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduated with a bachelor’s in accounting and economics. I am the Coordinator of Neurocognitive Research Programs for Seniors—I-Function, Inc. (University of Miami School of Medicine start-up). I am a Consultant at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and Aging. Miller School of Medicine. University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. I also work as a Neuroplasticity and BrainHQ Posit Science Certified Brain Adequacy Trainer at brain training centers located at the Village Activity Center in Key Biscayne, Florida, at the City of Coral Gables, Florida Activity Center, and The Palace Coral Gables (self-contained accommodations and services for seniors) in Coral Gables, Florida.
