What is "narrative"?

"Your life has marked you in unique ways and these marks whether you know it or not will determine how you live your life"

(Michael Rabiger)

To understand what a narrative is, we need to understand its status. Narratives have a status which is equal to that of commons (water, rivers, lakes, cultural heritage ...) and by virtue of their status can be shared or not, participated or not, challenged or not, accepted or rejected, renewed , corrected, contracted, subverted, transformed.

Narratives are norms, behaviors, trends, fashions, rules, stories, myths, lies ... that are internalized and believed by us and therefore accepted, in the form, for example, of convictions, of unconscious signals that have a performative nature that goes into a certain direction (for example believing that the evil people will go to hell, that money will give happiness, that according to a neoliberal principle the state should not intervene in the economy, that gold is the most precious metal ...).

The individual with respect to narratives can have a passive, critical, interpretative, antagonistic, innovative attitude.

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...

Guardando l'Amore di una madre con le sue figlie

Siete fatte della stessa pasta Di stesso sangue e spirito apposta Create - e vivete il mondo unite. Solo voi vostra lingua capite. Io curioso vi guardo lontano. Altro universo vivo io e so invano di non essere voi e mi stupisco, ma la materia vostra oh capisco! E' fatta di altra tessitura, la mia invece è sfilacciatura, e in altro spazio e tempo ascoso sto relegato triste, invidioso.
