Talking about a new genre of literature

I think it's important to move away from what is commonly known as entertainment literature.

There is an excessive amount of entertainment forced upon people with the intention of distracting them from reality, from what is really going on.

It's crucial that we avoid this and adopt instead a different way of thinking.

Now is the time to challenge ourselves with a genre of literature that encourages critical thinking rather than mere entertainment. Although some may consider Albert Camus outdated, I believe he is a perfect example of anti-entertainment literature.

I would like to mention authors like Christa Wolf, J.M. Coetzee, Milan Kundera, and Luigi Pirandello, particularly his plays rather than his novels. These authors represent a unique genre of literature that I recommend we explore further.

The above names consist of carefully chosen writers who were selected with great deliberation and patience on my part, after having discarded tons of writers who (in my opinion) relapse into Sturgeon's law.

All these authors have one thing in common - they don't write to offer comfort. They are not comforting writers. Their works can be unsettling and uneasy to read, but ultimately they leave you with a sense of high literature.

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.
