Capítulo 1

The Ancient Wisdom That's Changing Millions of Lives

The Fifth Agreement isn't just another self-help book-it's a cultural phenomenon that has transformed millions of lives worldwide. When Oprah Winfrey first featured don Miguel Ruiz's teachings on her show, she called The Four Agreements "a simple but powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives." Ellen DeGeneres later echoed this sentiment, helping propel these Toltec teachings into mainstream consciousness. What's particularly fascinating is how these ancient principles have transcended cultural boundaries-the U.S. Air Force even incorporated The Four Agreements onto their challenge coin, recognizing its universal application for mental resilience. The Ruiz family's teachings have become so influential that they're now studied in psychology courses, corporate training programs, and spiritual retreats across six continents. What makes this wisdom so compelling isn't its complexity but its profound simplicity-a clarity that cuts through the noise of modern life and speaks directly to our deepest human needs.

Capítulo 2

The Toltec Legacy: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times

Thousands of years ago in southern Mexico, the Toltec weren't a race or nation but a society of scientists and artists dedicated to preserving spiritual knowledge. These "women and men of knowledge" gathered at Teotihuacan-"the place where Man Becomes God"-to share their wisdom. When European conquest threatened their teachings, they were forced underground, passed secretly through generations of naguals (masters) in different lineages. The Toltec knowledge remained hidden until prophecies foretold a time when it should be shared with the world. That time is now. Don Miguel Ruiz and don Jose Ruiz, naguals from the Eagle Knight lineage, have brought these powerful teachings to light not as a religion but as a practical way of life focused on accessibility to happiness and love. What makes these teachings so revolutionary is their simplicity. While many spiritual traditions require years of study, the Toltec path offers immediate, practical tools for transformation. The word "Toltec" itself means "artist" in the Nahuatl language, reflecting their understanding that humans are artists who create virtual realities through language and belief. The Toltec mastered three domains: awareness (seeing reality clearly), transformation (changing limiting beliefs), and love/intent/faith (aligning with life's creative force). These masteries guide us from suffering to our true nature of happiness, freedom, and love by teaching us to control our attention and separate truth from illusion. What's most remarkable about this wisdom is how it transcends cultural and religious boundaries. Christians, Buddhists, atheists, and people from all walks of life find resonance in these teachings because they speak to universal human experiences. They address not what to believe but how to live-how to break free from suffering and reclaim our natural state of joy.

Capítulo 3

The Domestication of Humans: How We Lose Ourselves

From the moment of birth, you deliver a message to the world-you are an angel from the infinite in human form. Every cell in your body contains an intelligent universe programmed with everything you need. As a young child, you instinctively follow this program, naturally pursuing what makes you happy without second-guessing yourself. Then domestication begins. Adults program us with knowledge, teaching social rules through punishment and reward. "Good boy!" "Bad girl!" These simple phrases shape our understanding of ourselves. We learn to please others, accepting beliefs without questioning their truth. We form self-images based on others' opinions, learning we must be a certain way to be accepted. Fearing rejection, we pretend to be what we're not, seeking an impossible perfection. Think about it-before domestication, children don't care what they look like or how they're perceived. They run around wild and free, without self-consciousness. After domestication, we're constantly trying to be good enough for others but never for ourselves. We search desperately for what we've lost-freedom, happiness, beauty-because we no longer believe we possess these qualities naturally. The process intensifies during adolescence. Hormones change our bodies, and we seek freedom while simultaneously fearing independence. By our teenage years, we've internalized the belief system we were given and now judge ourselves harshly with it. Finally, as adults, we search for our authentic selves, believing love must come from outside us, seeking justice and truth in a world where we've learned "nobody's perfect." This domestication happens everywhere-in families of all backgrounds, in every culture, in every society. It's not that our parents or teachers intended harm; they simply passed on what was done to them. The cycle continues generation after generation, creating humans who have forgotten their true nature and instead live according to external expectations and internal judges. What makes this understanding so powerful is recognizing that domestication isn't your fault. You didn't choose it. As a child, you had no defense against it. But as an adult, you can choose to break free from these limiting agreements and reclaim your authentic self.

Capítulo 4

The Power of Symbols: How Language Creates Reality

The most important agreements we make are with ourselves, through our understanding of symbols. These symbols tell us what we believe about ourselves-what we are and aren't, what's possible and impossible. But have you ever stopped to ask: who tells us if what we know is actually true? We acquire knowledge through education, but what we're really mastering isn't truth-it's language, a symbology that has value only through agreement. Whether English, Spanish, Chinese, or any language, symbols have meaning only because we assign and agree on their meaning. Each word carries slightly different meaning for each person who uses it. Consider this: words are completely invented-we create sounds, letters, and symbols from nowhere. When traveling to countries with different languages, this becomes obvious. A tree is only called a "tree" because we agree to call it that. In Spanish, it's "arbol," in French, "arbre," but the actual living organism remains unchanged by our labels. Our knowledge is nothing but symbolism we invent to understand what we perceive. We construct entire belief systems of symbols, using them to justify what we believe about ourselves and the universe. These beliefs-our mythologies, religions, philosophies-are agreements with ourselves and others, our creation, but not necessarily truth. Like in the biblical story where Adam names everything with God's agreement, there are two sides to reality: pure perception (truth) and the meaning we give to perception (interpretation). Truth is objective, like science; interpretation is subjective, like art. The real truth is life's creation-absolute truth for everyone. Our interpretation is relative truth by agreement. Humans are artists who create virtual reality through language. Our greatest masterpiece is using language to create an entire reality within our mind-a reality that could reflect truth clearly or be completely distorted. This virtual reality becomes our personal heaven or hell. By mastering awareness, we can separate reality from virtual reality, truth from symbology. We can change what we believe by controlling our attention. This is the essence of personal freedom-recognizing that while we can't control external reality, we have complete authority over our interpretation of it.

Capítulo 5

Be Impeccable With Your Word: Creating Your Life Story

For thousands of years, humans have tried to understand the universe and human nature. As artists, we distort truth by creating theories, philosophies, religions, and stories-especially about ourselves. The key point is: we create them. We're born with creative power, constantly forming opinions and stories with words we've learned. Think about it-you're constantly creating your life story, delivering a message to yourself and everything around you. The real you is beyond what you believe; your physical presence is real, but your beliefs are not. Your story is art-neither right nor wrong-and words are your paintbrush. Being impeccable with your word means never using this power against yourself. Self-judgment is the most harmful misuse of language. When you say, "I'm not good enough" or "I'm too fat" or "I'm a failure," you're using your creative power to harm yourself. Similarly, when you gossip about others, you're misusing your word to spread emotional poison. What happens when you become impeccable with your word? You create an extraordinarily beautiful life without resistance or fear-your personal heaven on earth. Your word becomes a force of truth and love rather than self-sabotage and judgment. Consider how different your life would be if you stopped all negative self-talk. What if every word you spoke to yourself was kind, supportive, and truthful? What if you refused to participate in gossip or judgment of others? The first agreement is simple but transformative: be impeccable with your word. This doesn't mean being perfect. It means being aware of the power your words carry and choosing to use that power consciously. When you speak, you're casting spells-literally creating reality with your symbols. Being impeccable means casting spells of truth and love rather than fear and judgment. The practice begins with awareness. Notice how you speak to yourself. Pay attention to when you judge yourself or others. Then make a conscious choice to redirect your creative power toward love and truth. With practice, this becomes natural-your default way of being in the world.

Capítulo 6

Don't Take Anything Personally: Every Mind Is a World

Our perception is merely light reflected through our eyes, creating a virtual reality in our mind. Our brain interprets everything through our belief system, creating a personal dream that distorts reality. While light reproduces perfect images, we create stories with symbols and opinions, believing our dream is absolute truth when it's actually relative. Every mind truly is a world-what we see "outside" is actually inside us as images in our imagination. When we realize we're creating this dream, we can take responsibility for changing it if we're not enjoying it. Our personal story constantly changes based on who we're telling it to and our current state. Imagine everyone living in their own movie theater, watching their own story where they're the main character. Your mother's perception of you differs completely from how you see yourself, as does your partner's perception and your children's. Everyone distorts characters in their personal movies, focused entirely on their own stories. This awareness reveals that people's opinions about you concern only their created image of you-not the real you. Taking things personally is pointless because nothing others say or do is actually about you. When someone criticizes you, they're really criticizing their image of you filtered through their beliefs, fears, and agreements. Have you ever noticed how differently various people see you? Your boss might see you as efficient but cold, while your friend sees you as warm but disorganized. Your partner might see qualities in you that no one else notices. Who's right? They all are-in their own movies. None of them see the real you; they see their story about you. This agreement gives you immunity from others' opinions, freeing you to live without ruling your life by what others think. When someone says something hurtful, you can recognize: "This is about their dream, not about me." This doesn't mean ignoring valuable feedback, but it means not taking it as a definition of who you are. Not taking things personally creates extraordinary freedom. You no longer need to defend yourself against others' perceptions. You no longer need to win arguments or prove yourself right. You can simply be who you are, allowing others to have their opinions without being wounded by them.

Capítulo 7

Don't Make Assumptions: The Path to Clear Communication

Making assumptions is looking for trouble because most assumptions are fiction, not truth. We make the dangerous assumption that everything in our virtual reality is truth, and that everyone else's virtual reality is truth too. With our powerful imagination, we listen to the symbols in our head and invent stories about what others are doing or thinking. One assumption leads to another; we jump to conclusions and take these stories personally. Then we blame others and gossip to justify our assumptions, creating drama for nothing. Think about how often relationship problems stem from assumptions. You assume your partner knows what you want. You assume you know what they're thinking. You assume their actions mean what you think they mean. These assumptions create misunderstandings that could be avoided through simple communication. If not taking anything personally gives immunity in interactions with others, not making assumptions gives immunity in our interaction with ourselves. Thinking leads to assumptions and fear. Humans have a need to explain everything, and we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know, whether the knowledge is true or not. Instead of making assumptions when we don't know something, we should ask questions and be clear. "What did you mean by that?" "Are you upset with me?" "What are you expecting from this situation?" These simple questions can prevent countless misunderstandings and conflicts. When we don't believe our own assumptions, the power of belief we invested returns to us, allowing us to create a new dream-our personal heaven. We stop creating scenarios in our minds about what others think or what might happen. We stay in reality rather than fiction. This agreement requires courage-the courage to appear vulnerable by asking questions, the courage to face reality rather than hiding in comfortable assumptions. But the reward is authentic relationships and peace of mind. You no longer waste energy defending positions based on assumptions that might be completely false. Practice catching yourself when you make assumptions. Notice how often you create stories without evidence. Then practice asking questions instead. You'll be amazed at how much clearer and simpler life becomes when you deal with what's real rather than what you assume.

Capítulo 8

Always Do Your Best: The Agreement That Makes All Others Possible

The fourth agreement-Always Do Your Best-makes the other three agreements possible. While being impeccable with your word, not taking things personally, and not making assumptions may seem difficult, doing your best is accessible to everyone. Your best means giving 100% of your intention, though this naturally varies as your physical and emotional state changes throughout the day. When you're energetic, your best might be brilliant and productive. When you're tired, your best might be simply resting. The key is giving whatever you have in the moment without self-judgment. As you practice, your "best" will improve over time. This agreement allows the first three to become deeply ingrained habits through repetition. When you fail to keep an agreement, simply begin again. With persistent practice, misusing your word, taking things personally, and making assumptions will weaken until the Four Agreements become automatic and effortless. Instead of creating a dream of suffering, you can create a beautiful dream. By challenging your beliefs and putting yourself first-perhaps for the first time-you can learn self-love and stop sacrificing yourself for others' approval. This agreement helps you become a master artist through transformation, breaking agreements that no longer serve you and reclaiming your personal power with each one you dismantle. The unlearning process is essential-as you break agreements, the power you invested in them returns to you. Starting with smaller agreements requires less power, but as you recover your faith, your personal power increases. This strengthening will allows you to break more agreements, eventually making new ones that lead to happiness, joy and love. Always doing your best eliminates self-judgment and regret. When you know you've done your best, you can accept the outcome without blaming yourself. This creates freedom from the past and presence in the now. You're no longer haunted by "should haves" or "could haves"-you simply did your best with what you had at the time. This agreement also prevents you from overexerting yourself. Many people burn out trying to do more than their best, pushing beyond their limits to meet impossible standards. Always doing your best means honoring your current capacity while continuously improving through practice.

Capítulo 9

Be Skeptical, But Learn to Listen: The Fifth Agreement

The fifth agreement has two parts: be skeptical because most of what you hear isn't true, and learn to listen to understand the meaning behind others' symbols. Symbols aren't truth-they're only "true" because we agree they are. Skepticism uses doubt to discern truth. When you hear any message, ask: Is it truth or virtual reality? This makes you responsible for every message you deliver and receive. By not believing in symbols, your faith returns to yourself. True skepticism isn't about pretending to be too smart to be gullible-it's recognizing that all humans distort truth through their dreaming. You don't need to judge others as liars; everyone tells lies because of what they believe and the symbols they've learned. When others share their stories, listen without judgment. Their words come from their world, not yours. By listening, you show respect for their creation while understanding that their truth isn't necessarily yours. You can choose what to do with their information without needing to react. Don't believe yourself either-most of what you've learned isn't truth. Your self-judgments ("I'm fat," "I'm not good enough") are distortions, not reality. The tyrant in your head abuses you with these symbols, creating suffering through judgment and opinion. When you're skeptical of all opinions, including your own, you remain centered. You control your symbology rather than being controlled by it. Beyond symbols lies silent knowledge-what you know without words-and a world of perfection where everything simply is. Through undomestication, you gradually take back the power you've invested in symbols. When you no longer believe every thought in your head, you can still enjoy your story without being trapped by it-just as you enjoy movies without believing they're real. You can create the most beautiful personal story while understanding others' stories, together weaving a beautiful dream. This fifth agreement completes the circle. The first four agreements help you recover your authentic self; the fifth helps you navigate a world of inauthentic messages. Together, they create a way of living that leads to personal freedom and happiness.

Capítulo 10

Breaking Free from the Dream of the First Attention

The dream of the first attention is the ordinary dream of humans-the dream of victims who are controlled by symbols, beliefs, and the voices in their heads. In this dream, we are victimized by our religion, government, and entire way of thinking. The story of Adam and Eve illustrates how humans "died" by eating from the Tree of Knowledge-which is really the Tree of Death. While our bodies remain alive, billions walk through life dead, dreaming without awareness. We become victims of all the symbols we create. As children, we couldn't defend ourselves against the lies that came with knowledge. Our parents, schools, and society hooked our attention and taught us their beliefs-not with bad intentions, but because they themselves lived in the same dream and knew nothing else. This dream is like hell-filled with judgment, guilt, punishment, and fear. Fear rules this underworld, creating distortions in our knowledge and emotional drama. Our greatest fear is truth itself, because we've learned to believe so many lies. The Toltecs call this dream a "mitote"-extreme gossip where thousands talk but nobody listens. In this marketplace of interaction, humans cast spells on each other through misused words, taking things personally, making assumptions, and spreading emotional poison. The most powerful spells come from those with authority, because we believe their words. Our minds become possessed by competing symbols-anger, jealousy, love-all vying for control of our attention. The voice of knowledge narrates everything, constantly telling us what to do, reminding us what we believe about ourselves, pointing out what we're not. The first lie we believe is "I am not God." From this comes countless other lies until we forget our divinity. We create distorted stories about a judgmental god who punishes us, and we pass these lies to our children. We become afraid of our own reflection-the snake in the Tree of Knowledge. As children, we see ourselves through distorted mirrors-the perceptions of others who project their beliefs onto us. Being innocent, we believe these lies, giving them power to rule our lives. We fall from Paradise into hell, searching for God and our authentic self while the Tree of Knowledge lives our life instead. Jesus understood this when he said, "Let the dead bury the dead." We are "dead" when we're not awake to our true nature. In domestication, the outside dream hooks our attention and we become a copy of it-beliefs, behaviors, emotions and all. We become possessed by a virtual, distorted image of ourselves. Awareness is the key to resurrection, taking us from the dream of the first attention into the dream of the second attention, where everything begins to change.

Capítulo 11

Becoming a Warrior of Freedom

In the dream of the second attention, we need tools to win the war and change our world-that's what the five agreements are about. These simple agreements plant seeds of doubt in all our limiting, fear-based beliefs. The Four Agreements are tools for personal transformation, while the fifth agreement ends personal transformation by giving us the gift of doubt. Doubt is a powerful creation that can either take us into hell or get us out. When we doubt the truth, we believe lies and fall from heaven. But when we doubt the lies, we open the door to heaven. The fifth agreement is about being in heaven and heaven being in you-letting go of attachment to symbols and merging with the infinite. With faith in yourself, you follow your instincts, trust life, and everything becomes easier. You speak truth to yourself without doubt: "I like it; I don't like it." Life becomes difficult only when we sacrifice ourselves for others. In the second attention, we face the fear of being our real selves, discovering it's much easier to be authentic than to wear social masks. As your word becomes impeccable, you base every choice on truth and win the war against the tyrant. Your reality changes because you no longer perceive through rigid beliefs. The war ends when your faith isn't invested in lies. You don't need to compete with anyone-just be what you are: love. Not possessive love that creates jealousy, but the real love you were born with. Even after winning against fear, the war continues as the tyrant returns again and again. But with awareness, you're no longer a victim. Few warriors ever win the war in the human mind, but those who do recreate their entire world. The warrior's path isn't easy-it requires vigilance and courage. You must face your fears directly rather than running from them. You must question beliefs you've held your entire life. You must stand alone in your truth when others try to pull you back into their dream. But the rewards are immense. As a warrior in the dream of the second attention, you reclaim your personal power. You make choices based on love rather than fear. You create art with your life rather than being a victim of circumstances. You become the author of your story rather than a character in someone else's.

Capítulo 12

The Dream of the Third Attention: Becoming a Master of Love

The dream of the third attention reveals that light is the essence of all existence-alive, intelligent, constantly creating and transforming. Light connects all universes, making everything one living being composed of billions of different living beings. You are a whole universe, as is the earth and every celestial body. Every living being is protected by soul-the force that puts an entire universe together and recognizes its totality. Your soul was born at conception, recognizing every element of your being while rejecting what doesn't belong. Your body is a universe of billions of living beings-atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs-each with its own perspective, yet unified. You are that infinite force-alive, powerful, true. Everything known through symbols is merely illusion. Light projects information into your eyes, becoming your teacher, rearranging your brain to better reflect itself. Just as your organs create your totality, all humans together form humanity-an organ of the living planet Earth. In the third attention, truth destroys all lies, and only the real you survives. This leads to the mastery of love/intent/faith-realizing your own power. You accept everything unconditionally, respect all creation, and express love freely. Love emanates from you naturally like light from the sun, creating communion with others. The three worlds (first attention/underworld/hell, second attention/world/purgatory, third attention/upper world/paradise) exist within every human. In the masters' dream, we control our dream through choices, mastering the art of dreaming by recovering control of our attention. In the third attention, we don't merely put attention on life-we ARE life, we ARE intent. We see with eyes of truth from multiple perspectives simultaneously. We understand what we are beyond symbols, knowing simply: I am. This complete acceptance eliminates judgment, guilt, and shame. Your presence itself becomes the message-the real you, like the divine presence of a newborn that awakens generosity and love. The masters of the third attention aren't trying to change the world-they've realized they are the world. They aren't trying to find God-they've realized they are expressions of God. They aren't trying to achieve perfection-they've realized everything is already perfect exactly as it is. This state isn't about escaping reality but embracing it fully. It's not about transcending humanity but fully embodying it. It's about living with such presence and authenticity that your very existence becomes a blessing to all you encounter.

Capítulo 13

What Kind of Messenger Are You?

The fifth agreement prepares us to become messengers of truth. Every word we speak delivers a message, and the kind of messenger we are determines the message we deliver. What kind of messenger are you? Are you delivering gossip and lies, perpetuating a chain of hurt passed through generations? Are you a warrior fluctuating between heaven and hell? Do you still believe others who claim to know "the truth"? What message are you delivering to those you love most? Your dream reveals what kind of messenger you are. How do you treat yourself? Do you respect yourself and others? Is your dream filled with drama, injustice, judges and victims? You're always delivering a message-is it impeccable? Is it coming from the real you or from the tyrant within? Observe the messages you deliver and receive. Talk to a wall to hear your own words clearly. Reflect on the messages you've exchanged throughout your life. How many messages from others have you adopted as your own? Whose messages are you delivering? With awareness, you'll see the effect of your words, actions, and presence. You deliver what you know-it's neither right nor wrong. What matters is being authentic, enjoying life, being love-not the distorted symbol of love, but real love that comes from being your true self. Love yourself regardless of your message, but choose consciously: Will you deliver truth or lies, love or fear? The power of this question is that it puts responsibility squarely in your hands. You can't control what messages others deliver, but you have complete authority over your own. Each time you speak, you're creating ripples that affect everyone around you. Those ripples can heal or harm, unite or divide, inspire or discourage. Being aware of the message you deliver doesn't mean being perfect. It means being conscious of your impact and making choices aligned with your highest values. It means recognizing when you're speaking from fear, judgment, or pain, and choosing to shift to speaking from love, acceptance, and truth. The most powerful message you can deliver isn't in your words at all-it's in your presence. When you live authentically, when you embody the five agreements, your very being communicates more powerfully than any speech could. You become a living example of what's possible when humans reclaim their freedom from the dream of the first attention.

En serio, todavía no he explorado la app a fondo, pero después de usarla estos últimos días estoy impresionadísima… BeFreed está en otro nivel comparada con cualquier otra app de aprendizaje que haya usado. Te engancha muchísimo y de verdad mejora la concentración, ¡ideal para los que no paran de hacer scroll!

@ladyInfinity

Compré BeFreed hace exactamente 23 días y lo he usado todos los días desde entonces. Se ha integrado por completo en mi rutina diaria de trabajo y aprendizaje.

@jayallen

La verdad es que la app ha superado todas mis expectativas. Puedo pedirle que genere audio sobre cualquier tema, sea cual sea, y el resultado es impresionante. Mi campo profesional es una especialización en psicoterapia y es multidisciplinario; aun así, las respuestas son muy precisas.

@Raguipa

Lo que más valoro es cuánto ha reducido mi scroll: paso menos tiempo buscando y más tiempo absorbiendo información. La combinación de audiolibros completos, podcasts y los planes de aprendizaje es brillante.

Llevo 24 años siendo instructor de aprendizaje acelerado PhotoReading… los libros, la lectura y el aprendizaje son lo mío, y BeFreed ha hecho un gran trabajo ofreciendo un enfoque innovador para transmitir información de una forma fácil de consumir.

@BeFreed user

No es solo una app de resúmenes de libros: he usado la opción de lectura divertida y es un resumen mucho mejor y una forma más fácil de captar las ideas que la manera tradicional; solo eso ya vale la pena.

@austinakon

Me encanta esta app. La he usado varios días y no puedo dejar de escuchar. Una forma buenísima de empezar.

@jcrules328

Me gusta mucho el programa; llevo alrededor de un mes probándolo y siento que es una verdadera joya. Funciona genial porque puedo usar BeFreed para crear mis propios temas, y la voz es buenísima, con opciones de narración ilimitadas.

@DanielCZ

Me encanta poder recibir información e ideas útiles y condensadas en un audio estilo podcast de 8 a 15 minutos. No soy muy fan de los podcasts por tanto relleno, pero esto va directo al grano.

@BeFreed user

Estoy terminando mi doctorado y tengo que leer muchísimo material desconocido… Con BeFreed simplemente escribes un prompt y la app encuentra las fuentes por ti y genera un podcast en audio. El proceso de BeFreed me parece más ágil que el de NotebookLM.

@Brad

Suelo buscar en YouTube algo que escuchar mientras preparo el desayuno, salgo a caminar o voy al trabajo, ¡y BeFreed ofrece un enfoque aún más certero, sin anuncios y sin relleno!

@BeFreed user

Lo mejor de esta plataforma es su versatilidad. Literalmente no hay tema que quede fuera. Le lanzas lo que sea y lo maneja… Es raro encontrar una herramienta de aprendizaje sin limitaciones que de verdad cumpla lo que promete.

@jayallen

BeFreed es fantástica. Su diseño intuitivo hace que pase menos tiempo navegando y más tiempo aprendiendo. La mezcla de audiolibros, podcasts y planes de aprendizaje es una combinación genial que ha cambiado por completo mi rutina diaria.

@BeFreed user

Al principio me llevó un rato entender cómo crear podcasts en italiano y ¡boom! ¡Es genial! Puedo pedirle que me explique cualquier tema y lo hace súper bien y con mucha inteligencia.

@matteo77

BeFreed se ha convertido en mi app diaria de audiolibros… Lo que más me gusta es que pones tu texto y te devuelve un audio que puedes escuchar donde sea.
