The Italian way to Gnosticism





Italians have the belly as the centre of their world, inside. Outside, they have the sun.
They often say – non c’è rimasto altro (there is nothing else left). And with this, they think of the fact that their history deprived them of even the hope to change. What is left, then? Food and sun.
They have bottomless bellies. They eat a lot (and shit a lot, probably) because they constantly need to fill their intestine to the brim. They are empty. Empty of hope and short of ideas.

Mes, italai, nuolat kalbame apie tai,
Ką valgėme vakar,
Ką valgome dabar,
Ką valgysime rytoj[1]

Said a famous Italian restaurateur who managed two Italian restaurants in Vilnius.
In fact, in Italy, restaurants are always full of people. Bar and supermarkets are hyper-crowed. Conversation themes are soccer and food. Two gnostic epiphenomena of a new kind of Religion. All in all, Catholicism is a religion completely imbued of gnosis and globalism (above all now with the current Pope), it is therefore not difficult to shift from a Gnosticism to another Gnosticism.


[1] We Italians are constantly talking about
What we ate yesterday,
What we eat now,
What we will eat tomorrow

To be continued...(perhaps)
