THE CHARM OF THE ANTIC WORLD
– The ghosts of memory.
Nothing around us can define with certainty. Our best is when we know how to approach the truth, realizing what happened or can happen. No one has in their hands the keys to mystery, or time, future or of the past. What do we know. Of the true bloodline from an animal world to the one predominated by knowledge? In the stadium where we are now, we still don’t know where we have to come and why?.. The reason why the man himself always feels a strong threat of losing his essential existence, shapes and habits, forced him to reflect and develop his sensitivity that makes him imune. Such sensitivity, brought him in the search for lost time, in an ideal of beauty, an ideal that seems to be outside of human nature. A primary importance of all this, in those ethical and aesthetic developments; artists especially promote it. They are engaged in the very difficult task of finding the most sensitive points of human nature trying to reunite with the universe, creating new spaces and orizons and making barriers disappear and ignored, barriers that prevent true freedom.
THE HEAVEN NOT EXPLORED
We know by now that you can’t change the world, but it is important to change ourselves. And this is the task and the duty of every individual. But as I said before, those who are always at the border are and should be the artists. I don’t know why right now I’m writing some paintings by the painter Henri Rusoi, aka the Customs. In those paintings you can see something wonderful, left suspended, breathless, like in the flap. Forces, from a primordial innocence, where the umbilicate of life appears as it was, or at least, as it could be, an innocence that penetrates our minds obtuse by modernism as a knife. It seems as if the painter is in the irrecuperable moment of the world’s recreation with his colors, with dyes so light, and that atmosphere, magical and dreamy. As if he is in the race with God knows how to create his own Eve, the woods where they fade together at sunset, the reflections of the sun and the planets, the miracle called Life! Who wins better? And there is more in all his work than just naivety and innocence; the warning of the relationship that is always losing man with nature and with his beings, so different and precious. Thinking about these degrades, suddenly you are longing to return to a primitive world, where there are no peoples, nor predefined races, nor the different cultures and politicians, nor religions, but where there is only the existential sense of live. Recreate everything from the boss, watching and follow the example of swallows, how they travel and build their nests, love wild like bears and roe, feeding on live grass and meat to the blood, look in front of heaven and waters and understand every sound, quite small it is. But for now I have only the saying that said: “Forces, what the enlighteners ask for, the return to nature, and so impossible, but also the removal from nature”. I’m left like some kind of consolation.
YOU TOO FRIEND, ARE YOU PAYING?
Paganism and the religious world. In his daily life, the ancient man seems to be freer compared to us modern ones. For us, however, this kind of freedom seems that it doesn’t make sense and is not legitimate unless it serves a higher purpose, a well-defined ideal, whether faith in a god, or faith in love or homeland. Which important removed religion from man, and which of the things improved? Good morning… Anatol France writes in his essay book ” The Garden of Epicurus “; ” Christianity has done a lot for love, making it a sin.” Here it was about love, however, if we observe carefully, what would have been of today’s world without religions? And what is the world today with religions? Civilizing man and preparing him to be part in a society where morale and obligò reigns, they have done nothing but a world divided into two, a world where the strongest, money will predominate, and where contrasts reign and always of more, you sow wars. Would it have been better, a world still pagan, intact, compared to a world predominated by fears and superstitions, by wars and religions so powerful that have become great gears that put the mecanisms of time?
THE DREAM PAY
An Italian author opens his book about witches with a dedication on a child “wishing her” to learn to escape the abuse of reason. And it’s true. Nowadays everything is about reason, about the returns, which is nothing but conformity and conservatism and lack of freedom. In a world where money produces everything; treasures, loves, powers and safety, you feel the tiredness of being part in such a collective but that to survive you are forced to participate. For the simple man, not only the chains of slavery were invented, but now that he is unconscious and almost happy with this slavery. His life has become distressing and hectic, he lives in terror and insecurity, without even national identities, the traditions of once, under the globalism that swallowed almost every peoples of the planet. He lived even before in insecurity, changing one after another the systems of governing without results and which were good only to give freedom, and above all, in absolute control of religions. Not that this wasn’t useful, but I didn’t need to become institutions where laws are made. As long as religion served as an effective half to humanize and improve man, to integrate him into a certain moral ethics and devotion to the others, it was a good thing. The State also played an important role in civilization and control and maintenance of the country’s assets. However, due books are not kept. He’s gone way further. For this reason, man lives in doubt today, without a half, with great desire to change. But they nail him more and more, not only with violence and wars, but also with ideological tactics. There are those who desperately try to escape responsibilities, there are those who abandon God and religion forever, there are those who don’t care about patriotic atriots. This is a desperate quest to reconcile with the dream of freedom, in the virgin umbilicas of the mother nature, in innocence, pleasure and leisure, in pagan idyll. Just as we imagine it today the world pays. Other people seek escaped in love and sex, which was ” the world’s first religion.” According to some ancient texts, the first cults in pagan peoples were those of male and female genital organs, where I will have an important role like Dionysus, god of wine and mystical pleasures, Venus, etc. However, it is difficult for us to have a frame where all those past millennia are depicting, together with hundreds of human generations that I will live and certainly had their vision. All we know is from the remains found scattered here and there, statues, ceramics, tools, scriptures, and from the books of history. But above all, from those ruins, which were before blooming cities where you thought, loved, sofried and died…
– CONCLUSION
However important, religions have always been the opium of the human mind and a great farce. Says Baudelaire; ” God is the only being, who, to rule, doesn’t need to exist…” What a parable! All and in all times, we have fallen for the mistake of wanting to perceive the mystery of this world. What is the world, if nothing but a smoke, a current of events and a band of appearances destined to disappear? Short or long, lasting or ephemeral, appear and disappear, and nothing else. We live in a “closed” world, airtight, from where you can’t escape… Communcue, for man, there is always a hope; to improve his deadly life and enjoy it at the last straw. This could only come true with the unification of the. Material with Spiritual, realizing dreams in concrete and necessary things and works, so, in my opinion, you can achieve a certain harmony of living, a step forward in progress… In this sense we don’t always need to face only Reality, we have to face the world of imaginations… Put them in our service for the best.
