Brother Matteo I

 





Was he senseless? Only God may say that. For sure he was abject, weird, and vicious. In the end, a common character to be met.
He was called “the professor”, although he hardly spent a day of his life in any sort of teaching.
We are talking of Matteo Sartori, quite known in Bergamo before the so-called pandemic, whom after his death is still remembered in that town. He seemed versed in nothing, but he appeared to be devoted to all, instead. He died ingloriously in a hospice in the days of the pandemic. It was said he had passed away because of the virus, but in reality, he had other comorbidities.
Although he had lived like a monk, he had been very capable to look after his worldly affairs. And in fact, after his death, it appeared he had millions of euros in his account.
But without considering the final his life had been pure senselessness.
He was married twice and had no sons.
His first wife belonged to the Bergamo’s ancienne bourgeoisie. Antonella Panerai. She was a beauty, a vigorous intelligent girl. How she could have got married to Matteo, such worthless, puny weakling, none will attempt to explain.
The human being is beyond any capability of understanding. People are, in fact, and mostly, echoes of other people ideas. They are what they recognize to be prepared (by others) to be.
Matteo likely was what he was prepared to be and left an unknown part of himself completely unknowable to himself, which couldn’t be repressed, and sometimes it acted and seized him as what the world and society call irrationality, madness. Folly.
For this basilar principle, Matteo in his life took a path he wouldn’t have taken if he had followed what is called “his nature”

Fasting to reconnect your "Self" to your body

If there is a discrepancy between yourself and the body, between what you are and what you don't feel you are in your body, then fast, because there is excess to remove in the body. Through the stratifications of fat, the material that alienates you is deposited in the body. Removing decades of fat you remove the "Self" from its impediments to be reconnected with the body. Start thinking about fasting and wait for the right moment. Your body has its own indicators; it will signal when it is the right time to start fasting. Fasting is not a mere physical fact. It is changing the spirit of a time that has become stranger to us and that lives in us in order to alienate us to ourselves. Impossible to fast, without implying a change of the inner spirit. Those who fasted in the Old Testament did so to invoke great changes in life. Jesus himself fasted for forty nights and forty days and after fasting he was ready and strong enough to resist the devil and was ripe for his minist...

Poetry dwells near the divine light's breath

  The comparison between poetry and divine light that we proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Letters to the Romans I,19: τὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ ⸂θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν , what can be known of God was manifested to them (in men), indeed God manifested to them. Poetry unveils in the human being the need to be human, i.e.the need for Beauty, for feeling the Beauty in itself and with itself, and this feeling is supported by the divine light. As we are influenced by the idea of Saint Augustine of saeculum , we maintain that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore stops on the threshold of the divine light [ I] without crossing that threshold, but it senses the light beyond that threshold. We are taken to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty within us that leads us up to there: up to that door that it is not possible to cross in our being human, but nevertheless, the very dwelling on that threshold is illuminated by the ve...

Similarities between Lithuanian, Sanskrit and Ancient Greek: the sigmatic future

by Fabrizio Ulivieri Lithuanian is the most archaic among all the Indo-European languages spoken today, and as a result it is very useful, indeed, indispensable in the study of Indo-European linguistics. The most important fact is that Lithuanian is not only very archaic, but still very much alive, i. e., it is spoken by about three and a half million people. It has a rich tradition in folklore, in literature, and it is used very successfully in all walks of modern life, including the most advanced scientific research. Forced by our interest for this piece of living archaism, we go deeper in our linguistic survey. One of the most noticeable similarities is the future (- sigmatic future -). Lithuanian has preserved a future tense from prehistoric times: it has one single form, e.g. kalbė-siu 'I will speak', etc. kalbė-si kalbė-s kalbė-sime kalbė-site kalbė-s This form kalbėsiu is made from the stem kalbė-(ti) 'to speak', plus the ancient stem-end...
