The Hybrid (from "Memoires of a Martial Artist")







As flies to wanton boys we are for the gods, they kill us for sport. Soon the science will not only be able to slow down the ageing of the cells, soon science will fix the cells to the state and so we will become eternal. Only accidents, crimes, wars will still kill us but unfortunately, crimes and wars will multiply. 

I love football! 

(Eric Cantona) 



One night at Flavio‘s, a very expensive Italian restaurant in Totorių gatvė, I saw again the professor Zecharia Najafi.
He was sitting alone at one table and eating. I recognized him. His physiognomy was unmistakable. I was struck by this lonely man sitting and eating one raw steak. A bloody steak. I noticed disgusted faces around him. The other clients were observing him like a strange rubbish-creature should be observed.

- I have cancer. – he said. Apparently, as if he didn't speak to me.
- Pardon? What did you say? – I responded.
- I‘ve cancer. I am following a holistic diet. A fat and raw meat program.
- And this helps?

The professor looked around, sighed and then whispered.

- I am a reptoid.
- Really?
- Yes. I need fat, raw meat and blood to cure my problem. It gives me energy. Body energy. The cosmic energy I assimilate through meditation because it passes through the human body coming from the space. Through the inner eye. You know?

With a perplexed look on my face, I decided to sit down, next to him. The situation seemed so unsettling.

- May I? – I asked for courtesy, but I was sure that he would have said „Yes“
- Yes. – he said – Please sit down, you are welcome.
- Thank you. Do you remember me, professor? I was at your conference, a few days ago.
- Of course, I remember you.
- How do you remember me? We were several people there?
- I have a photographic mind.
- I see. Then...you are a reptilian...you said...
- Yes, I am. I come from another dimension.
- Which one?
- The fourth dimension. It is just one dimension over from your own world.
- You look human, though.
- We reptilian are shape-shifters.
- Shape-shifters?
- We can change our physical form at will.
- I don‘t believe you.
- Why?
- Show me.
- I can‘t.
- Why?
- I can‘t. There is a dogma. I cannot break it. You just have to believe me.
- A dogma? Why, should I?
- Because in this world, truth is just what you believe. This is the dogma.Truth is a tool.
- A tool for what?
- To build (up) reality. That‘s why you have to believe me. Truth in itself doesn‘t exist.

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...

My world before and after the so-called Pandemic

  Prior to the so-called pandemic, the world was different. I was different.  One of my greatest moments of pleasure was visiting unknown cities, lost in the unknown, following an unknown flux of life surrounded by unknown streets and people.  I felt invisible. No one knew me, and I knew no one. That gave me a strong sense of pleasure. The pleasure of doing things you usually avoid in places where everyday life, routine, and the fear of showing yourself in a way people are not accustomed to expecting from you. I am not sure what I was looking for in doing this. I remember I felt pushed to search for the essence of that world, as I could physically taste that essence. I was looking for an aura of mystery which could rescue me from my nothingness (I called it nothingness, but now I should call it stupidity—because now I realize what an idiot I was). I hoped for goodness from the world, I hoped for a magic of life, I hoped for an encounter which would be my Saviour, the Savi...
