Ecce Homo

 




„Olà uomini" gridò un giorno Diogene e subito lo circondò una massa;
ma egli la percosse col bastone, dicendo: "Uomini chiesi, non merde"



Una volta cercavo l'uomo in giro per le città, per i caffè, i supermercati. E mi illudevo che ogni sguardo che incontravo, ogni volta che lo incrociavo, fosse l'uomo che cercavo. Cercavo negli odori dei sessi, nei liquidi dei corpi, nel sudore e negli anfratti delle mie amanti una testimonianza dell'uomo che stava in profondità di ogni singolo individuo con cui condividevo la vita.

E allor mi piegavo, mi sforzavo di entrare negli interstizi e nelle piaghe delle loro carni. Di viaggiare dentro di loro verso il profondo. E mi interrogavo su quei segreti che mi pareva di scorgere in quella lacerante e straziante ricerca che portava solo a un nulla. Erano viaggi che compivo verso un vicolo cieco. E ogni volta tornavo indietro e ricominciavo.

Perché l'uomo è un nulla quando non sta nella luce che viene dall'alto, e vive coatto solo nel basso.

Solo un grumo di carne, sangue ossa e pelle, tutto quello era ed è.

E ora che non ho più gli occhi per guardare come guardavo, non distinguo più fra uomo e animale. Di solo animale è fatta la maggioranza degli uomini.

Sacchi di merda, che respirano, si muovono, si agitano e si abbracciano talora. Ma di più si odiano.

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...
