Larvatus prodeo and misfit I live

 






Misfit. I feel like a misfit to reality, to this new dimension, I am living now in. I ask myself why and feign not to understand, yet I know the answer. Yes, I know it but I pretend not to know. It is a harsh thing to say to myself, I know, but, regrettably, it is true and my ego must accept it. I must accept and understand that all my life I have been following the wrong indicator for the direction I need to go, and I am unable to get out of it. I go disguised (larvatus prodeo). I disguised myself all my life to follow the wrong impulse.
And for all my life I disguised myself to please the others. My family, my friends, my colleagues, my loves, my life...
And the pain was so excruciating that caused me suffering and illness.
And now, when I thought I was healed, it is happening again but under a form of possession. There are moments when I am not what I am. I am my mother or my father. I catch myself in a simple gesture that is not mine, it was the gesture that my mother or father used to do. I am brought to another dimension where I feel I am them and not me. I make coffee and I am my father making it. I caress my wife as my mother caressed people. I sit down sometimes as my mother used to sit down. I lose saliva from my mouth as my father lost, I sit in the bathroom and suffer as my father suffered...


Am I possessed by their spirits? Yes, I think so. They embody me for a while, they take possession of my body, my spirit and my soul to manifest that they are close to me and abide in me.
I can ask: Why? But again I know the answer.
Angelicis igitur operationibus fieri crediderim, sive permittatur desuper, sive iubeatur [1]
Well, I would be inclined to believe that this can happen due to an intervention of the Angels, permitted or desired from above.

Poetry dwells near the divine light's breath

  The comparison between poetry and divine light that we have proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Epistle to the Romans 1:19: τ ὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν — “that which may be known of God has been made manifest in them (in men), for God has manifested it unto them”. Poetry unveils within the human being the need to be human, that is, the need for Beauty, the need to feel Beauty within oneself and alongside oneself; and this feeling is sustained by divine light. Since we are influenced by the Augustinian idea of saeculum , we hold that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore comes to a halt upon the threshold of divine light [I] without crossing it, though perceiving the light that lies beyond that threshold. We are led to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty that dwells within us and guides us to that point: to that door which cannot be crossed in our human condition. And yet, the mere act of stan...

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...

L'ombra del dharma

  Può qualcuno nascondere la verità per tutta la sua vita  e ingannare sé e tutti gli altri?  Vi sono demoni nell'uomo, che vengono di lontano  - per linee di sangue e generazioni che,  se li ascolti, si fanno tuo dharma Se cerco di spiegare quello che eri Devo l' oltre e il prima guardare Dove cause ignote e foschi criteri Erano il karma del tuo andare. Di lí andavi larvato di nulla E mai il volto sincero mostravi. Di silenzio vivevi in una bolla Eppure libero a me sembravi. In pubblico e privato ti scindevi E disprezzavi me a te non pari Ma santo mi apparivi e tu sapevi. Del tuo dharma che adesso appari Eri schiavo - di quel lontano demone Tara remota e senza memoria Che nel sangue ti seguiva epigone E segnava immemore tua la storia.
