Power doesn't want you to remember

I've never thought the fight against power could be a fight against memory.

Power deliberately brings lapses of memory by using media and propaganda.

"Allende's assassination quickly erased the memory of the Russian invasion of Bohemia, the bloody massacre in Bangladesh made Allende forget, the war in the Sinai desert stifled Bangladesh's tears, the Cambodian massacre made Sinai forget. and so on...until everyone completely forgets everything." (Milan Kundera - The Book of Laughter and Forgetting).

Many people fought and died for their country and their memory has gone lost or manipulated by the current Power that speaks on behalf of them who fought for something that really was the opposite of the new power that is now speaking in their name.

This is what we call, betrayal of memory.

I like thinking that the will of remembering is like being fond of your own destiny. Not forgetting is what gives you the strength and energy to go on with your ideas and to keep yourself firm in what you believe.

You don't give up because you remember, the memories you rely on are your fuel.

If you forget you are no longer a man, you are a shadow, or a sheep. Sheep are just a shadow that reminds humanity of the missed difference between a man and an animal.

What is in fact a man without memory?

An animal.

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...

The temple of youth

The yearning for death is but a swift race seeking to curtail our tormented pace. There lies a sacredness in thy yearning toward the highest good wildly striving. Toss the gaze heavenward and grasp the truth! In death, we lie upon and cast the temple of youth.

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.
