How Long For Aquarium Sealant To Dry?
Interview with Chiara "Shrimp"
Here is the interview that I wanted to shoot a lot of time! ^ _ ^
1-First of all, a small presentation. What's your name? Where does your passion for the fantasy genre?
My name is Chiara. The passion for fantasy born indoctrination I suffered as a child. Before falling asleep, instead of fairy tales, which frightened me to death, my mother was reading the novels of John Campbell Jr. soon I learned to read by myself, I continued on that road, feeding on fantasy and science fiction.
2-Tell me about your passion for writing. When did you discover within you the desire to create stories?
When I realized that to make a film, even a few short minutes, it took money and working with other people. ^ _ ^
I started writing around the time of the opening of the blog, I was first drawn to the cinema.
3-What does it mean for you to write?
distinction must be made. Part of writing as design, what do you even while you eat, you brush or six lessons and daydreaming. So I would spend whole days. Instead put your dreams on paper is hard work. The moment of satisfaction which makes concrete the dream is just a moment. The rest is revision, study, documentation, rewrite. It is a big job.
4-How did the stories of Laura and Silvia Consciousness Quantum Maga?
The idea behind Laura was to choose a character the opposite of the current cliché, place in a fantasy setting and see what happened. Laura is beautiful, is not intelligent, has no power. It is between the ordinary and an airhead. I still believe is a good character, but I admit that at that time did not have the capacity techniques to write better. I do not think that Laura's novel is poorly written, but needs further revision. I'll sooner or later.
Silvia instead stems from the idea of \u200b\u200b"real magic". If you really could do anything you want, if you really could turn wishes into reality - without limits - what would happen?
not a new idea, similar stories have already been written differently, by HG Wells in Rudy Rucker, but I think that Silvia can carve a niche of originality.
5-What do you want to express through writing?
Nothing. I will not communicate messages or meanings, I will not give anything beyond the events of that story. There is no morality, there are only facts.
6-You are already well known online for your blog Shrimp fantasy. How and why did your business blogger?
The shrimp come from dissatisfaction with the quality of Italian sites and blogs that deal with fantasy. There was - is - a suffocating atmosphere of incompetence and dishonesty. So in the summer of 2007 my brother and I believe we can do better and we opened the blog.
7-The fantasy is a genre that is spreading like wildfire here in Italy for a while 'time, with results well not always judged by the critics. What do you think of Italian fantasy?
Rubbish.
8-Do you think that the publication is the fundamental step of writing?
Yes I believe that writing has meaning only if it is read by someone. Thus the passage of the "make public" is essential. But it is not essential to the publication in the traditional sense (the novel in bookstores). It is important that you read, not the means by which to reach the public.
9-What advice to aspiring writers, even in view of the publication?
If we talk about publishing in the traditional sense, I suggest friend to be someone at some publishing house and lick it until it recommends. If we talk about how to make public publication, or an act of altruism for which you want to offer the reader a good story, the usual advice is: study the narrative technique, read tons of books, practice it every day.
The speech, however, is long, you've already done here: http://fantasy.gamberi.org/2010/10/28/editoria-fantasy-in-italia/
10 - Writers are born or made? Just the pure talent to write well, or must rely on aid theorists such as manuals and advice from already established writers?
You become. Talent is only potential. You can have the greatest talent of all time for the long jump, but if you stay in a chair all day without practicing one hour, the Olympics did not win.

Dinner Invitation Asking Them To Pay
cosmic forces: the soul of magic
Don Marcello Talking about the Tarot and their strengths and weaknesses came to my mind that I talked about many topics esoteric but vital than ever: the cosmic forces. The speech that I'm facing is complex, ranging in various fields and may also affect those who are not esoteric, but most importantly it is essential to the understanding and use of magic.
Magic is a tool that allows one to connect with the divine component of the cosmos. The man is a continually refers microcosm to macrocosm, both materially and spiritually. Materially affected because of his physical contact with the environment around him, spiritually, because its psychological dimension is made of the same substance that has become the soul of the world. The soul of the world, the famous Viriditas mentioned by St. Hildegard, is composed of the cosmic forces. In humans, these energies are represented by the archetypes of the unconscious. This is why Jung Jungian tradition and have devoted long study of the Hermetic doctrines in order to understand the human unconscious.
cosmic forces are present in every religious tradition and mystique, and while represented in different ways, are similar. An example of Cosmic Powers Christian cabalistic and hermetic is shown by its Major Arcana of the Tarot. To the Celts, they are represented by the runes, but all religious symbols are vehicles of cosmic forces. The astrological signs, associated with virtue, are among those symbols. Just as the natural elements of the western esoteric philosophy, associated with the various planets. In ancient pagan religions cosmic forces are personified by the gods in the Hindu religion and even today they are only the main manifestation of the divine essence (which is why Hinduism recently put into the category of monotheistic religions).
Every religion gives a representation of cosmic forces. In Christianity there are the personifications of the virtues and the harmonic scale of medieval mysticism, where each of the 22 steps is a force to be exercised in order to reach God For every force is an entity angelic choice between the Thrones, Virtues and Dominions. In the Kabbalah sephiroth are the cosmic forces and also are part of a particular angel. Hermetic philosophy in the cosmic forces are the key to achieving the total knowledge and are represented by entities majestic and terrible, very similar to some of the demons and the Egyptian mystery religions. Theosophy part in these ideas and develops a theory that unites all the others. It is from this theory one can understand the true meaning of cosmic forces.
Theosophy incorporates the model universe of the esoteric philosophy or a world whose matter is animated. Beyond the matter, there is the spirit. The spirit is energy and this energy manifests itself in an almost infinite variety of forms. The man plasma this energy by giving them the forms "concrete" in the astral plane, where the energy is more subtle. The astral plane is, although there are various interpretations, a sort of level of thought. A plan where there is a universal memory, the collective unconscious of the universe. It is counts as a pit, where the energy forms of the spirit. The cosmic forces are therefore energy emanating from the divine spirit, the soul of matter known as ether or akasha. They are entities? Ah, here is the crux of the matter! Here is one of the reasons why we talk about Tarot that absorb negative energies, as I said Don Marcello.
cosmic forces are not entities. The energies are cosmic forces with which to draw the entity. They are therefore equipped with a sort of will or intelligence but only develop fully when not formed. In its pure state only related but potentially neutral entity reference. We project our essence, animations. We coocreatori together with the divine spirit. For better and for worse. As harmony in chaos.
The difference between entities and cosmic forces is confirmed by all esoteric, even by those who practice black magic. The famous Satanist Efram the Cat has very clearly explained in an interview that the candle, stone, mantra, stir the cosmic forces, energies. Black magic is that because it uses the Force to summon cosmic entity chaotic, going against nature and against the spirit divine. Therefore not be the cosmic forces to be negative! Chaos is created by man, is a waste of energy and its perversion. It comes from a specific act of will, not found in nature.
I already said that the man Cosmic forces correspond to the archetypes. The archetypes, however, have a double-sided, which combines in itself the potential of cosmic forces. The archetypes can lead the mind to inner peace so that the imbalance. The man, in fact, be implemented that is in power. It has its own essence, what we call nature, but it needs to act out constantly evolving. And this characteristic has led him make mistakes and create negative mental barriers. The archetypes are related to cosmic synchronicity Forces and reference entity, but can result in negative form to the events of divine energy and lead to chaos when the mind is not attentive enough. In this case obvious that negative feelings are awakened at the microcosmic and macrocosmic level to negative entities. The larvae are called demons, the basic principle is the same. It will be recalled that Jung said: "I do not believe in God I know." He meant that, thanks to matching archetypes-macrocosm, he felt the presence of external energy defined as man and divine entities. This is also true in reverse. It is no coincidence that several deities have demon-value is positive or negative, are as heavenly as chthonic powers. Cosmic forces are shaped by man.
At the end of this talk is to wonder what is permissible and what does not when it comes into contact with cosmic forces. Follow the example of Western Christian mystics, who also used tarot cards for meditation, brings certainly on track. Plasma moves and practice the virtues of positive energy. One must also remember not to overdo it, not to exceed the limits imposed by the spirit. Taking the example of the Tarot, one may use it to meditate and help others to understand themselves, but expect to read the future and even to influence it can only bring evil. But you must always keep in mind that man is imperfect and negative archetypes within. Aleister Crowley was based on them to elevate the human spirit. Wiser instead use them as incentive to improve. The defects are nothing but upside merits and excesses of soul. They are the shells of the dark and the astral plane. We must accept them and convert them back to virtue, as we can. That's why the negativity in any magical practice are always lurking. All you need is willpower and exclude them. Wicca teaches that no negativity can enter the charmed circle if the man wants and is not strong enough. Similarly, Christianity says that evil comes from the heart of man.

Samhain: exorcise the fear of death
Tomorrow is Halloween. For un'esoterista seriously (I mean for those means of occult or esoteric philosophy) This name means very little. Instead of great significance to the real name of the holiday celebrated on October 31, of Celtic origin, known as Samhain. Often, too often, Halloween and Samhain are mixed resulting in a long series of misunderstandings, more or less severe. Underlying both of these traditions is the same matrix, but of course Halloween is removed from the original meaning of what it celebrates. Already, celebrating? Because Oct. 31 was so important to the Celts? Why Christians have demonized and have opposed the feasts of the dead? These are the main questions to be answered to explain well the difference between Halloween and Samhain.
October 31 was for the Celts the date which marked the beginning of the cold season and harvesting agricultural through the winter. The Celts were tied to the lunar cycle and farming, in particular, revered the vital principle of the cosmos that manifests itself not only in gods but mainly in nature. Many have spoken of the Celtic type monistic monotheism and pantheism, and indeed even some Christian writers such as Duns Scotus have this common belief well before Christianity. So for them every cycle of nature has a sacred character because it expresses the eternal becoming of the whole, of this divine energy represented by its Celtic cross. It follows that in the dead Celts a new lease of life and therefore considered to die with honor and the clan something positive. Death was not feared because it seen as a step towards a new life. As the soil in winter and spring to prepare for the rest to other crops, so the Celtic man was dying to be reborn. And the day when darkness prevails over light, cooling the heat, death over life, the spirits came into contact with the living and were greeted with celebrations in their honor. But because death is not only a way of rebirth, but also the chaos and destruction, it is purified with fire places and cast out evil spirits with magic. Only the positive energy must prevail, any negativity needed to be cut off otherwise you may not be born again and join with the whole. This is done by offering food to the dead, prayed in a state of contemplation and marks the symbolic sacrifice of the horned god. Cernunnos was the personification of the male principle of God and one who died to make way for the goddess, the Great Mother. About this sacrifice, we know that before the formation of nuclei with many tribes, personified by the god of a man was killed by the priestess-goddess. Obviously with the emergence of an organized system such as was that of the Gaels in Ireland became a symbolic sacrifice, as many of the violent sacrifices practiced by the pagans. The king became the horned god and the queen mother goddess. The cult of the dying god is among the oldest, Indeed it is thought to be the oldest ever, and the goddess wept during the winter and await the return in the spring. So it was not a ritual or cruel murderess, though it was seen as such by the most primitive Celtic communities. With the advent of the symbols had to overcome many superstitions and sacrifices violent and perhaps the birth of civilization itself (in many symbols and anthropologists talk about homo simbolicum). The god was represented by a puppet which gave fire or rites of passage faced with feigned death. Of course, other tribes, such as those of the Gauls, continued to practice the sacrifice itself using slaves. The Druid religion could be very cruel. We know for a fact that all the Celts practiced animal sacrifice, usually those intended for slaughter. The bones were thrown into the bonfire purifier.
Samhain feast of the dead was identified as first and foremost by the pagan Romans and later by early Christians. Celtic Christianity as I have said elsewhere, retains much of the ancient Celtic culture, having built very well and peacefully with it, and early identification of Samhain with the feast of the dead was a natural. The custom of asking for sweets from Halloween is still a custom in Christian folklore and modeled on the Celtic. The demonization of this cult is mostly from the Church of Rome, much less tolerant towards the Celtic pagans and often in open conflict with it. The identification of Celtic gods with demons and the association between Cernunnos and the devil has led to a complete misunderstanding of the meaning of Samhain and its unfair distortion. And so the feast of Saints stands in exact opposition to the cult of Celtic.
Halloween comes from this process deteriorizzazione of Samhain. Moving in various traditions and also fill them with superstitious beliefs is only the most gloomy, or that of evil spirits invading the world of the living. As long as the legend of Jack O Lantern, spread by Irish emigrants in America, gives a definitive basis for Halloween. The famous Jack makes fun of the devil and this prevents him out of pique, once dead, to enter Hell. Man is thus forced to wander in darkness with a firebrand in his hand, which becomes later in a hollowed pumpkin with a flame in the center. The hoax carried out by Jack is reflected in the popular practice "Trick or treat" people disguised as a monster, put in place by turning from house to house. A carnival might say, and in fact has been reduced to this. There's also the sad side of Halloween, Halloween or the Satanist who really celebrates as they think (wrongly) the Christian king of darkness. Yet these traditions can be traced back to the true meaning of this feast, and then to Samhain, also from the psychological and anthropological point of view.
Jack is an attitude typical of the Celtic world, which was the exorcising rites and myths, the frightening aspect of religious feeling and of life. Death always strikes terror in men, is seen as the greatest injustice. The deadpan and implacable scythe, the archetype of destruction, darkness, the end. Incredibly, the Celts, much more than we men of science, were able to conquer death. How? Overcome fear. Because, in their wisdom, they understood that death was not to be negative, but his fear and the way in which it is addressed. And Materialists scientist of today would say that they were deceived and that the myth is that, to deceive themselves and escape from reality. Instead, their reasoning is much more spiritual right of modern reason. They perceived the profound unity of every part of the universe and the existence of eternal energy that keeps everything in ceaseless motion and allows him to live. Those who oppose this really died. Rejecting this process smooth, claiming to live outside of the cosmos, was tantamount to really die. Indeed, who evaded the celebrations of Samhain could never be reborn. The evil spirits feared by the Celts, negative energies, are at a psychological level the dark and scary side of death, death that prevents the cycle of rebirth. What we want to emphasize, for the Celts was a step in the whole and not as the reincarnation means certain Eastern religions. Jack can not find peace after death because he led a dissolute life and wanted to take on a greater scale. I note that in medieval Christianity and also of a later period it was believed in limbo and the fact that some pagan souls going to Hell too good to live in this place. The Legend of Jack is also based on this old theory.
However, Jack is as a firebrand. The Celts took the embers from the bonfire with which turn the other burners. This means that only purified can find a way to rejoin the Whole. But first you must get rid of negative energies, bad experiences accumulated during the year and "kill", so they can be born fruit. The custom of dressing up as monsters was also practiced by the Celts to scare away evil spirits and can be accessed in key psychological and spiritual as a way of exorcising the fear of death destroyer, the bad, identifiable in their evil witches, ghosts, vampires, werewolves and other creatures of darkness. So it is also fine to use the tradition of Halloween, but only after having discovered the true essence of Samhain.
Samhain is celebrated by neo-paganism and Wicca, but also a Christian like me can draw valuable lessons. First, to overcome the fear of death because the only real death is what we want, choosing to live in violence and chaos and to deny the beauty and harmony that God has given the world. Second, honor the dead and to be in contemplation. Third, connect your spirit with the divine energy to purify and to "die" and "resurrect" already here, killing the reviving virtues and vices.

Instead, their reasoning is much more spiritual right of modern reason. They perceived the profound unity of every part of the universe and the existence of eternal energy that keeps everything in ceaseless motion and allows him to live. Those who oppose this really died. Rejecting this process smooth, claiming to live outside of the cosmos, was tantamount to really die. Indeed, who evaded the celebrations of Samhain could never be reborn. The evil spirits feared by the Celts, negative energies, are at a psychological level the dark and scary side of death, death that prevents the cycle of rebirth. What we want to emphasize, for the Celts was a step in the whole and not as the reincarnation means certain Eastern religions. Jack can not find peace after death because he led a dissolute life and wanted to take on a greater scale. I note that in medieval Christianity and also of a later period it was believed in limbo and the fact that some pagan souls going to Hell too good to live in this place. The Legend of Jack is also based on this old theory.
However, Jack is as a firebrand. The Celts took the embers from the bonfire with which turn the other burners. This means that only purified can find a way to rejoin the Whole. But first you must get rid of negative energies, bad experiences accumulated during the year and "kill", so they can be born fruit. The custom of dressing up as monsters was also practiced by the Celts to scare away evil spirits and can be accessed in key psychological and spiritual as a way of exorcising the fear of death destroyer, the bad, identifiable in their evil witches, ghosts, vampires, werewolves and other creatures of darkness. So it is also fine to use the tradition of Halloween, but only after having discovered the true essence of Samhain.
Samhain is celebrated by neo-paganism and Wicca, but also a Christian like me can draw valuable lessons. First, to overcome the fear of death because the only real death is what we want, choosing to live in violence and chaos and to deny the beauty and harmony that God has given the world. Second, honor the dead and to be in contemplation. Third, connect your spirit with the divine energy to purify and to "die" and "resurrect" already here, killing the reviving virtues and vices.

Ionic Breeze Plus Wont Come On
Interview with Francesco Barbi
could not miss the interview with this writer deserves. Enjoy it ^ ^
1 - First of all, the presentations. Where do you live, what do you do in life or you want to do, what are your passions.
I was born 35 years ago in Pisa, where I still live. I have a three year old daughter that I love, I teach mathematics and physics in high school and writing, not more only passion ... On the one hand I could not help it, the other cultivated the hope of making writing my business.
2 - Tell me about your passion for writing. When did you discover within you the desire to create stories? What does it mean for you to write?
I have always loved to invent and create stories, to give life to my internal characters, but I started writing seriously during the years of university study. At the time writing meant to accommodate a high creative need. Then it became a passion to grow, unable to obtain many satisfactions. As mentioned above, now I hope will become a profession.
3 - Why did you choose the fantasy genre?
I think that becomes a metaphor for listening to my inner world I felt the need to place me in a context that imposes fewer constraints and I would guarantee greater freedom with respect to setting the "real". Consider the logic, consistency and credibility more than enough to harness the imagination.
4 - How did the idea for The Acchiapparatti? What did you want to express with this story?
The origin of the novel goes back to the spring of 2000 when, driven by the need to describe a picture that had been leaning in my mind, I wrote a story. This is what, in the book completed, has become the sixth chapter, the one entitled "The Hole". Rather than ideas, I'd say that story-chapter was inspired by personal and almost atavistic attraction to the monstrous, and originates from an unresolved conflict with my internal persecutor. The desire to make a novel was born after reading (perhaps in order to understand who or what it was for me the monster Giloc) an essay by Shadow sull'archetipo psychoanalysis based on the writings of Jung.
did not start with the idea of \u200b\u200bwanting to express something in particular through the history dell'acchiapparatti. I've left writing. In retrospect, I think one of the themes that permeate the novel, linked to strangeness of the characters and the story serves as background, and the need to accept their own "shadow", resorption, reinstate.
5 - The fantasy is a genre that is spreading like wildfire here in Italy for a while 'time, with good results are not always judged by the critics. What do you think of Italian fantasy?
As in all genres, there are good novels and bad novels. In fact, however, perhaps with regard to the fantasy written by Italian authors, novels of poor quality are a bit 'too much. In Italy there is a strong tradition, or maybe there was still a real maturing of the genre. This is probably linked to the peculiar political and cultural history of our country, which could have hampered the emergence of fantasy, still regarded as the literature of series B. Moreover, the choices of some publishers, who tried to ride the boom in the fantastic world of recent years have probably been short-sighted ... Recently, however, seems to me that something good is happening and that the quality is starting to come out. In short, do not blame the readers who have lost faith in regard to our own writers, but I hope they can regain it.
6 - Tell me about your publishing experience. How did you come to the pub? How has turning the editing stage? What impressed the editor of your story that pushed to publish?
I got no secrets to reveal. The first edition of the book, titled "The acchiapparatti of Tilos," was published in September 2007. I had not yet had the time to send the manuscript to several publishers that I met by chance one of the five members of the publishing house bell. He suggested I get him the book and I did. After about a month, all 5 had read and appreciated and I was offered a good publishing contract. We slept for a couple of nights, I held back what was given to the waiver all'acchiapparatti other possibilities. I decided to sign. The first
edition has also been a good consensus from the readers. Although he did not have the possibility of a widespread, the network has been discussed extensively in the book. In March last year, Cristina Lupo Dalai phoned me to express her interest. He had read the book at the suggestion of a coworker and she liked it very much. I feel grateful to him for having believed from the beginning nell'acchiapparatti and for giving him a new life. Cristina
I think I appreciate "The acchiapparatti" as it is written and because it is a novel atypical (she continues to claim that it is not a fantasy). In fact, despite being labeled as a low-fantasy, which are contaminated by other genres, horror ideas, and psychological noir, and more narrative tone: it goes from suspense to entr'actes almost comical. The setting recalls the so-dark atmosphere of the High Middle Ages, but it is rural rather than epic. Instead of dark knight spotless and tyrants, majestic cities and armies to battle it out, there are farmers, gravediggers and bounty hunters, prostitutes, thieves, small villages and village fairs. The book is also unusual in the construction of the plot, in which case the unexpected and have their weight, and the main characters were far removed from the usual heroes called upon to save the world. I think they are, in their diversity and humanity, the strength of the book.
7 - does it feel to see your book on bookstore shelves?
Actually, I felt great emotion at seeing my book on the shelves of libraries. In both of my publications, I felt much more emotion when I got home, the object-book and I saw for the first time.
8 - believe advertising is the key step of writing?
depends on what you look for when you write, that is from because it is written. For me, writing is fun, fulfillment, satisfaction, but also commitment, suffering and sacrifice. The publication is something that repays you for your efforts ... If I had not published or did not have the prospect of publishing, I do not know if I could keep writing, or at least do it with the same commitment.
9 - What advice to aspiring writers who want to get published?
I assume that the aspiring writer has finished writing your novel, it has undergone a difficult stage of review (perhaps supported by the aid of competent persons) and believe strongly in the quality of what he wrote. And of course there should only see his book "printed" ...
At this point, nowadays, probably recommend contacting a literary agent. Than serious. Of them that "you take" difficult and only if you really believe in the text, given that demand nothing except a share of the royalties in the event of publication (and a small fee for reading the manuscript). Even in case of refusal by the agent, you might want to capitalize on its assessment and advice.
In the absence of an agent or if you prefer to avoid it, then you should deal with the delicate task of contacting the publishers. I would suggest then to examine them and choose wisely 10, 15, 20 publishing houses that might actually be interested in the manuscript (never the ones in charge). At this point it would contact them, according to the precise manner specified by each them. Very delicate and worthy of attention and care is the time to produce a synthetic letter of introduction and the author of the book, accompanied by a synopsis, which is usually required. At this point it is to send the material, being careful to send exactly what is required, the means and formats indicated. If deemed appropriate, it could also decide to stagger shipments starting from the publishers who take longer to answer, or from those to which you give most importance.
10 - Finally, a question much discussed at this time. Writers are born or made? Just the pure talent to write well, or must rely on theoretical aid as manuals and advice from already established writers?
A writer must have a lot of trade. I believe there is talent, but that often matches the desire to write, and partly by knowing how to invent stories to be told and keep raising interest rate and involvement. Of course it is also the considerable talent to learn from the first craft and more easily. But in any case the exercise is essential to acquire and develop technical skills and style. I think it is essential to read a lot, keeping always on the attention to details of writing and stylistic choices, as well as writing a lot. And why not eat anything that can help, manuals, courses and advice, provided good quality.

Images Maxine Get Well
strong religious
Angra I have to thank for pushing me to post this discussion. As always the opposite to move it and give us the opportunity to evolve and strengthen.
I talked about my religion and esotericism without specifying what is religion. I take the definition from wikipedia, which I explained exactly what I'm about to say
The word religion comes from the Latin religio, whose etymology is not entirely clear: according to Cicero, the word derives from the verb relegated, or "read , "meaning a careful reconsideration of what concerns the worship of the gods.
Instead Tertullian and Lactantius, the latter taken from St. Augustine, argued that the word is derived from a verb: religious, meaning "bind, tie", meaning to tie the man to the gods. Religare may also indicate the idea of \u200b\u200blinking people in the community, under the same laws and the same cult.
Other possible etymologies trace the word to relegate verbs ("remove, divide," which emphasizes the separation between things sacred and profane), religion ("consider carefully" the gods), and re-eligible (choose again, make another choice).
I leave aside the differences between dogma and precepts and other things, to go for the first distinction. We can identify two trends in religion: a personal deity immanent or transcendent and immanent impersonal divine-spiritual principles. The first group includes all the pagan religions and those disclosed, although there are exceptions, the second head are religions such as Buddhism and the ancient mystical philosophies like Stoicism, the neopitagorimo, Neoplatonism and Eastern philosophies. Then you notice how every culture religious feeling has been experienced in different ways. This has led some philosophers of the nineteenth century, including Feuerbach, to develop the teaching of religion as alienation from reality and projection in the divinity of his desires. This assessment is not wrong in itself, but can not be applied to all religions. All right, within certain limits, for those pagan religions where the gods reflected the vices and virtues of men. Yet even here there is a clarification to make. That myth and religious worship itself. For the pagans were not two quite separate things and this has also decreed the rapid disintegration of their religions in the face of advancing religion more "organized" like Christianity and all religions of the second century AD The myth can be defined as the theory and soggettivizazione the religion serves as a base and can be changed when you want to reflect on various aspects of the sacred and the divine. The religion itself is something well designed, says the explanation from Wikipedia. Between myth and religious worship, there are large differences. Religious worship does not change much and the deity seems static, not changing, while the opposite occurs in the myth. So much so that in all civilizations cults presented with well-defined patterns of a myth as there were a lot of different interpretations. One thing is certain: it extrapolates from the myth of religion. Heterogeneous beliefs and subjective born a form of relationship with the divine with precise rules, which even in cases of flexibility remains basically the same for the entire people. Religion then can be seen as an attempt to create a stable and orderly approach to the divine for a group of people who have created myths and beliefs similar. As Cicero says, religion is a diligent consideration. Or a place the emotional and fantasy in the myth to the test of reason to avoid superstitions. I have already mentioned in an old post what is superstition and as Cicero had given a comprehensive definition. This indicates that religion goes far beyond a simple system of alienation mentioned by Feuerbach.
Now, it is undeniable that early myth and superstition were confused and that the religious sentiment was mainly attached to material things. And this is where my thinking really begins. From Where does this religious sentiment? This need to give life meaning and purpose to their actions? I believe that this belief is innate in man and it was initially developed with the approach to the natural world. In Greek myths Robert Graves reports the cosmological greek myth where appointment of nature as the principle of all things. Is to say that something is imminent, and then based on the identification, even superstitious, between man and the natural elements. But for the Greeks Nature was much more than this, as well as the primal religions who are venerated as the mother of all. Nature was understood in its totality and it was a cosmic principle of life, independent of man and the gods themselves. Immanent, but also transcendent. This illustrates that all people have assumed that there is a universal law or principle that gives life to the world. For some, this principle has become the one God, for others the Mother Goddess, then you get to those logos and mystical philosophy based on truth transcendent man. I also remember the theory of religion as a primordial ancestor of all other cults. This religion, as I said in the post proper, is both immanent and transcendent.
The striking thing is that these cults, based on the nature and matter, process, principles that are taken by science and converted in a "materialistic." Consider for example the idea of \u200b\u200blife in a cyclical alternation of death and resurrection, then in a continuous evolution and transformation. He does not remember the theory of Lavoiser? Take the cults that see the complementarity of a principle that one who creates and destroys, who see life as an alternation of opposites that balance each other. Perfectly reflect the relationship between matter and anti-matter and principles of attraction and repulsion. Remember that the chemistry and physics come from a magical approach, to the esoteric nature. The bases were true, were a real application in the material sphere. An application by the limited knowledge of the time, but always based on true principles. Rational principles of order and harmony. The Stoics, the Neoplatonists, Eastern philosophies and religions have this in common primordial: conceive an orderly universe that stems from a primordial chaos, but that is opposed to dominating it.
Then at some point because they were born sacrifices, superstitious rituals and violence waged in the name of religion? The modern theology responds that, as the religion born from man's heart always has been subject to its emotional disorder and then to its desire to dominate. Religious feeling, in fact, if not helped now by reason degenerates into superstition and fundamentalism. An excess of will but also leads to the contrary effect, namely the manipulation of religion for purposes of convenience and oppressive. So you get to distort the original cult. But surely this is not prerogative of religion. The man can turn any instrument in half to subdue the weaker. The religion was founded in the early community and, although still steeped in myth and superstition, it becomes a means of control of conscience only when creating structured society. At first the religious sentiment is disinterested, is a natural impulse. Kant also recognizes that human reason always tends to develop with the thought of spiritual realities, responding to the needs engraved in the soul of every man. He, agnostic, does not condemn this aspect, but it relegates to the realm of noumena, then coming to postulate the existence of God and then analyzing the human need for spirituality in terms of logical and rational it is clear that it is natural, which is produced by thought and that relates to the field of emotions and feelings. But reason and feeling are truly unconnected spheres? If so, religion would never be born, and no one could ever conceive of the divine and relate to it. Why the religious sentiment is starting to search for spiritual reality, but this reality is developed and built with reason.
The point however is: what is meant by spiritual reality? Usually it is conceived as something opposed to matter. Yet the primal religions and mystical philosophies, including the esoteric doctrines, they say the opposite. They say that the reality material is obtained the spiritual. How? Precisely through the religious sentiment, which is a deep feeling, mystical experience. The conception of the Universe living, breathing soul is something you feel, you feel that meeting with all the senses together. I also speak from personal experience. Do you identify with that reality and living, breathing, but you're also aware that it is bigger than you. You know that feeling you transcends and yet is generated by the encounter of mind with matter. From this approach we can obtain the concept of spiritual and divine energy that gives life and that is eternal and inexhaustible. Just as the subject. It follows that the spirit is the union of the internal senses, as Kant says, but that depends strictly on the matter. The desire to separate the two things is wrong.
The main objections are that the atheists to religious sentiment environment, as devoid of rationality, are these:
- The believer does waiting for a punishment or reward, and lives only in view of the afterlife;
-Spirit does not you can neither see nor calculated so there. There is nothing above the reality
In the first case it is partly true objection to the misuse of religion did in the past. In reality, both the pagans as the Christians had with the guide values \u200b\u200bto better enjoy in this life and, even if they believed in a life after death, exerted themselves to have more success and glory. With Christianity is a bit 'different, some Church Fathers insist on the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven, however, remember the words of Jesus: "Verily I say unto the Kingdom of God is among you." And in the parable of the rich and well-being of that lineage that eventually goes to hell and the poor dying of hunger and is rewarded, there is much more than an eschatological solution. The warning is clear: live your life in a virtuous because you will not have another chance and you reap what you sow. This applies first of all in factual reality.
the second assertion we may appeal to the principle doctrines immanent, for example, stoicism, and philosophies of life as Buddhism. In astronomy teaches that there was a single superforce the basis of everything. Not conceive how the personal deity, but certainly transcends man and nature as we know it. The similarities are there. I call again because the high cost of Kant and his moral law, but also Fichte, an atheist and advocate of a religion "humanist" where the divine is expressed in the moral world. Still there are theists rationalists, those who support the physico-theological proof of God for them because there is beauty and order in the world, must necessarily exist a God or force ordering guarantees the functioning of this large "clock". Kant himself, while refusing the term God, admits that such a principle can be called an architect. But there is another interesting option to consider. The idea of \u200b\u200bGod in conceptual terms, as pure thought and pure abstraction. I speak of Descartes as well as the famous mathematical proof of the existence of God by Kurt Godel.
A test I want to add a rational and spiritual being. The matter is immortal, why should not we be too? The problem is life after death, not being able to hear, but is it really? I remember a fascinating conversation with my professor of Greek and Latin, Michael Porcaro (prof, I miss you ^ _ ^) that of these things is crazy. He said, "Think Mariateresa, the image of Dionysus and the vine symbol of rebirth. Your body teeming with worms and insects, which dissolves into the ground. Continues to exist and feel in another form. Some of you still in this human microcosm and the universe dissolves another. And the punishment or the reward is in having attained inner peace and being in harmony with the world to which it belongs and will be returned. Again and again. " I shudder when I think of these words. Because, as it happens with Kant and philosophers who objected to my thoughts or different, I feel too many of the concepts that express the deepest, to be completely false. A truth must while there, to shake the soul that way. Concluded
so, this post seems a eulogy of religion at the expense of atheism. Not so. Atheism is an important point in religion. I know it sounds unbelievable but it is. Think of a supposed non-existence of God have a series of questions about his alleged existence or identity, and try and have a little 'how to find. Moreover, it is far easier to keep alive the religious sentiments and is equally harmful to rely blindly on faith. I would note two theologies based on atheism. The first is the theology of God's death and the second that of Bonhöffer. Show that the man, before you can truly love God, to experience atheism.
Religious feeling, being written in us, can not be deleted. This can be addressed on ideals and values \u200b\u200bwith spiritual function, that is. In any case, recall, especially if we start from an ideological rejection of religion and the sacred in general, of hitting into the trap of ideology the same way as believers. Before concluding I must specify a religion as good and right can degenerate to expire by the spontaneity of the cult of religious sentiment all'artificiosità imposed. Usually happens for a loss of balance between the various components of religion, which are:
- Dogma (principle is not questionable basis of the cult, or at least highlight)
-Ritual (set of practices to worship the deity or techniques to practice the discipline of philosophy-mysticism)
-Social Ethics (set of behaviors that ensure the respect of all men, of every race and culture)
Dogma in fact constitutes a problem only when it is used by certain hierarchies to bend to his will the believers. Often dogmas are general rules that are manipulated or in some cases created a mail for personal purposes. If it is the dogmatic aspect of religion to the religious sentiments prevail in conflict with reason, critical and indispensable for a true faith, and worship degenerates into fundamentalism. In fact, the dogma that contradicts the rules stigmatized rituals and even social ethics.
The ritual does not involve major complications because editable, but if it is privileged over the other parties threatens to transform religion into superstizione.Insomma, you end up giving priority to form over substance, emptying the gesture of their true meaning.
The social ethics of a religion is a very important point and acts as glue for the other two. In fact, if for any reason the look and the dogmatic ritual breaking the rules of social ethics, distorting it until it takes on an aspect of a threat to the lives of others, then it means that the Religion is to review and reinterpretation. Religions may not want to practice violence on another man, is against logic. The men are all from the same "descendant" homo sapiens sapiens, have a common way of feeling, even if different modes of expression. About this I feel I want to clarify the answer to my comment in Angra. None of the existing religions
expected violence on those who are different or any other form of discrimination. To quote those named in the commentary, the holy books of Christianity and Islam have often been misinterpreted and manipulated into believing things that are not true or true only for the narrow-minded of the time. The modern theology has shown that the alleged inferiority of women with men in the Bible is a colossal hoax and that the Koran is not written anywhere that the woman must go to their heads covered and that the man should rule. Indeed, it was stated with certainty that a Muslim woman has always had the time of Muhammad's great decision-making power, which is also the owner of the tents used by men and therefore free to exclude males from the family. 
Angra I have to thank for pushing me to post this discussion. As always the opposite to move it and give us the opportunity to evolve and strengthen.

Instead Tertullian and Lactantius, the latter taken from St. Augustine, argued that the word is derived from a verb: religious, meaning "bind, tie", meaning to tie the man to the gods. Religare may also indicate the idea of \u200b\u200blinking people in the community, under the same laws and the same cult.
Other possible etymologies trace the word to relegate verbs ("remove, divide," which emphasizes the separation between things sacred and profane), religion ("consider carefully" the gods), and re-eligible (choose again, make another choice).
I leave aside the differences between dogma and precepts and other things, to go for the first distinction. We can identify two trends in religion: a personal deity immanent or transcendent and immanent impersonal divine-spiritual principles. The first group includes all the pagan religions and those disclosed, although there are exceptions, the second head are religions such as Buddhism and the ancient mystical philosophies like Stoicism, the neopitagorimo, Neoplatonism and Eastern philosophies. Then you notice how every culture religious feeling has been experienced in different ways. This has led some philosophers of the nineteenth century, including Feuerbach, to develop the teaching of religion as alienation from reality and projection in the divinity of his desires. This assessment is not wrong in itself, but can not be applied to all religions. All right, within certain limits, for those pagan religions where the gods reflected the vices and virtues of men. Yet even here there is a clarification to make. That myth and religious worship itself. For the pagans were not two quite separate things and this has also decreed the rapid disintegration of their religions in the face of advancing religion more "organized" like Christianity and all religions of the second century AD The myth can be defined as the theory and soggettivizazione the religion serves as a base and can be changed when you want to reflect on various aspects of the sacred and the divine. The religion itself is something well designed, says the explanation from Wikipedia. Between myth and religious worship, there are large differences. Religious worship does not change much and the deity seems static, not changing, while the opposite occurs in the myth. So much so that in all civilizations cults presented with well-defined patterns of a myth as there were a lot of different interpretations. One thing is certain: it extrapolates from the myth of religion. Heterogeneous beliefs and subjective born a form of relationship with the divine with precise rules, which even in cases of flexibility remains basically the same for the entire people. Religion then can be seen as an attempt to create a stable and orderly approach to the divine for a group of people who have created myths and beliefs similar. As Cicero says, religion is a diligent consideration. Or a place the emotional and fantasy in the myth to the test of reason to avoid superstitions. I have already mentioned in an old post what is superstition and as Cicero had given a comprehensive definition. This indicates that religion goes far beyond a simple system of alienation mentioned by Feuerbach.
Now, it is undeniable that early myth and superstition were confused and that the religious sentiment was mainly attached to material things. And this is where my thinking really begins. From Where does this religious sentiment? This need to give life meaning and purpose to their actions? I believe that this belief is innate in man and it was initially developed with the approach to the natural world. In Greek myths Robert Graves reports the cosmological greek myth where appointment of nature as the principle of all things. Is to say that something is imminent, and then based on the identification, even superstitious, between man and the natural elements. But for the Greeks Nature was much more than this, as well as the primal religions who are venerated as the mother of all. Nature was understood in its totality and it was a cosmic principle of life, independent of man and the gods themselves. Immanent, but also transcendent. This illustrates that all people have assumed that there is a universal law or principle that gives life to the world. For some, this principle has become the one God, for others the Mother Goddess, then you get to those logos and mystical philosophy based on truth transcendent man. I also remember the theory of religion as a primordial ancestor of all other cults. This religion, as I said in the post proper, is both immanent and transcendent.
The striking thing is that these cults, based on the nature and matter, process, principles that are taken by science and converted in a "materialistic." Consider for example the idea of \u200b\u200blife in a cyclical alternation of death and resurrection, then in a continuous evolution and transformation. He does not remember the theory of Lavoiser? Take the cults that see the complementarity of a principle that one who creates and destroys, who see life as an alternation of opposites that balance each other. Perfectly reflect the relationship between matter and anti-matter and principles of attraction and repulsion. Remember that the chemistry and physics come from a magical approach, to the esoteric nature. The bases were true, were a real application in the material sphere. An application by the limited knowledge of the time, but always based on true principles. Rational principles of order and harmony. The Stoics, the Neoplatonists, Eastern philosophies and religions have this in common primordial: conceive an orderly universe that stems from a primordial chaos, but that is opposed to dominating it.
Then at some point because they were born sacrifices, superstitious rituals and violence waged in the name of religion? The modern theology responds that, as the religion born from man's heart always has been subject to its emotional disorder and then to its desire to dominate. Religious feeling, in fact, if not helped now by reason degenerates into superstition and fundamentalism. An excess of will but also leads to the contrary effect, namely the manipulation of religion for purposes of convenience and oppressive. So you get to distort the original cult. But surely this is not prerogative of religion. The man can turn any instrument in half to subdue the weaker. The religion was founded in the early community and, although still steeped in myth and superstition, it becomes a means of control of conscience only when creating structured society. At first the religious sentiment is disinterested, is a natural impulse. Kant also recognizes that human reason always tends to develop with the thought of spiritual realities, responding to the needs engraved in the soul of every man. He, agnostic, does not condemn this aspect, but it relegates to the realm of noumena, then coming to postulate the existence of God and then analyzing the human need for spirituality in terms of logical and rational it is clear that it is natural, which is produced by thought and that relates to the field of emotions and feelings. But reason and feeling are truly unconnected spheres? If so, religion would never be born, and no one could ever conceive of the divine and relate to it. Why the religious sentiment is starting to search for spiritual reality, but this reality is developed and built with reason.
The point however is: what is meant by spiritual reality? Usually it is conceived as something opposed to matter. Yet the primal religions and mystical philosophies, including the esoteric doctrines, they say the opposite. They say that the reality material is obtained the spiritual. How? Precisely through the religious sentiment, which is a deep feeling, mystical experience. The conception of the Universe living, breathing soul is something you feel, you feel that meeting with all the senses together. I also speak from personal experience. Do you identify with that reality and living, breathing, but you're also aware that it is bigger than you. You know that feeling you transcends and yet is generated by the encounter of mind with matter. From this approach we can obtain the concept of spiritual and divine energy that gives life and that is eternal and inexhaustible. Just as the subject. It follows that the spirit is the union of the internal senses, as Kant says, but that depends strictly on the matter. The desire to separate the two things is wrong.
The main objections are that the atheists to religious sentiment environment, as devoid of rationality, are these:
- The believer does waiting for a punishment or reward, and lives only in view of the afterlife;
-Spirit does not you can neither see nor calculated so there. There is nothing above the reality
In the first case it is partly true objection to the misuse of religion did in the past. In reality, both the pagans as the Christians had with the guide values \u200b\u200bto better enjoy in this life and, even if they believed in a life after death, exerted themselves to have more success and glory. With Christianity is a bit 'different, some Church Fathers insist on the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven, however, remember the words of Jesus: "Verily I say unto the Kingdom of God is among you." And in the parable of the rich and well-being of that lineage that eventually goes to hell and the poor dying of hunger and is rewarded, there is much more than an eschatological solution. The warning is clear: live your life in a virtuous because you will not have another chance and you reap what you sow. This applies first of all in factual reality.
the second assertion we may appeal to the principle doctrines immanent, for example, stoicism, and philosophies of life as Buddhism. In astronomy teaches that there was a single superforce the basis of everything. Not conceive how the personal deity, but certainly transcends man and nature as we know it. The similarities are there. I call again because the high cost of Kant and his moral law, but also Fichte, an atheist and advocate of a religion "humanist" where the divine is expressed in the moral world. Still there are theists rationalists, those who support the physico-theological proof of God for them because there is beauty and order in the world, must necessarily exist a God or force ordering guarantees the functioning of this large "clock". Kant himself, while refusing the term God, admits that such a principle can be called an architect. But there is another interesting option to consider. The idea of \u200b\u200bGod in conceptual terms, as pure thought and pure abstraction. I speak of Descartes as well as the famous mathematical proof of the existence of God by Kurt Godel.
A test I want to add a rational and spiritual being. The matter is immortal, why should not we be too? The problem is life after death, not being able to hear, but is it really? I remember a fascinating conversation with my professor of Greek and Latin, Michael Porcaro (prof, I miss you ^ _ ^) that of these things is crazy. He said, "Think Mariateresa, the image of Dionysus and the vine symbol of rebirth. Your body teeming with worms and insects, which dissolves into the ground. Continues to exist and feel in another form. Some of you still in this human microcosm and the universe dissolves another. And the punishment or the reward is in having attained inner peace and being in harmony with the world to which it belongs and will be returned. Again and again. " I shudder when I think of these words. Because, as it happens with Kant and philosophers who objected to my thoughts or different, I feel too many of the concepts that express the deepest, to be completely false. A truth must while there, to shake the soul that way. Concluded
so, this post seems a eulogy of religion at the expense of atheism. Not so. Atheism is an important point in religion. I know it sounds unbelievable but it is. Think of a supposed non-existence of God have a series of questions about his alleged existence or identity, and try and have a little 'how to find. Moreover, it is far easier to keep alive the religious sentiments and is equally harmful to rely blindly on faith. I would note two theologies based on atheism. The first is the theology of God's death and the second that of Bonhöffer. Show that the man, before you can truly love God, to experience atheism.
Religious feeling, being written in us, can not be deleted. This can be addressed on ideals and values \u200b\u200bwith spiritual function, that is. In any case, recall, especially if we start from an ideological rejection of religion and the sacred in general, of hitting into the trap of ideology the same way as believers. Before concluding I must specify a religion as good and right can degenerate to expire by the spontaneity of the cult of religious sentiment all'artificiosità imposed. Usually happens for a loss of balance between the various components of religion, which are:
- Dogma (principle is not questionable basis of the cult, or at least highlight)
-Ritual (set of practices to worship the deity or techniques to practice the discipline of philosophy-mysticism)
-Social Ethics (set of behaviors that ensure the respect of all men, of every race and culture)
Dogma in fact constitutes a problem only when it is used by certain hierarchies to bend to his will the believers. Often dogmas are general rules that are manipulated or in some cases created a mail for personal purposes. If it is the dogmatic aspect of religion to the religious sentiments prevail in conflict with reason, critical and indispensable for a true faith, and worship degenerates into fundamentalism. In fact, the dogma that contradicts the rules stigmatized rituals and even social ethics.
The ritual does not involve major complications because editable, but if it is privileged over the other parties threatens to transform religion into superstizione.Insomma, you end up giving priority to form over substance, emptying the gesture of their true meaning.
The social ethics of a religion is a very important point and acts as glue for the other two. In fact, if for any reason the look and the dogmatic ritual breaking the rules of social ethics, distorting it until it takes on an aspect of a threat to the lives of others, then it means that the Religion is to review and reinterpretation. Religions may not want to practice violence on another man, is against logic. The men are all from the same "descendant" homo sapiens sapiens, have a common way of feeling, even if different modes of expression. About this I feel I want to clarify the answer to my comment in Angra. None of the existing religions
expected violence on those who are different or any other form of discrimination. To quote those named in the commentary, the holy books of Christianity and Islam have often been misinterpreted and manipulated into believing things that are not true or true only for the narrow-minded of the time. The modern theology has shown that the alleged inferiority of women with men in the Bible is a colossal hoax and that the Koran is not written anywhere that the woman must go to their heads covered and that the man should rule. Indeed, it was stated with certainty that a Muslim woman has always had the time of Muhammad's great decision-making power, which is also the owner of the tents used by men and therefore free to exclude males from the family.

Feminism: lights and shadows
The desire to tackle a complex subject like feminism was born from my own recent research on the myth of the Mother Goddess. Sites that spoke of the famous feminist matriarchy are over and from there to bioethical issues such as abortion and individual freedom. I therefore questions such as, starting from a just, feminism has ended up making the woman is a mere object that a uoma, or a caricature. The question is not easy and I found a lot of difficulties to analyze point by point the features of feminist ideology, but I managed to keep separate the positive from that degenerate. At least from my point of view, of course.
At this point I do the usual small premise. I am not of any party, I have said many times. I believe in the cooperation of all parties for the good of human beings, because all of us without distinction of sex or race can be fulfilled as we want to bring us in harmony and without damage to each other. It goes without saying that every revolutionary idea and exasperated, of any party, to be blunt.
feminism starts from this belief. I omit the famous three waves in which the current is divided, speaking only of feminism in Italy. At first, there are two strands, in clear disagreement between them. The first emphasizes the role of women in society and its development, calling for equal rights between male and female. The second relies on the myth of matriarchy, the beneficial primitive communism practiced by women and the intrinsic evil of patriarchy and capitalism. Although this line wants the equalization of men and women, but in very different ways. The woman should be in every way like man, canceling all characteristic of the female gender. Since women were, according to this ideology, oppressed by men for millennia, it is time to resume his revenge by taking over the reins of power. This leads to a progressive rejection of feminine characteristics, not because they really humiliating, but only as part of a past seen as stifling and oppressive. The right to procreate is seen as a wave, a more difficult affected only to women, and thus limiting the absolute leveling-man woman. It is first and right to contraception, which is also claimed by the first thread, which does not reject motherhood as something wrong. But the second line points out the ineffectiveness of some methods and the limitation of their freedom. Born abortion. Not comment on whether it is right or wrong, only carry the meaning of abortion in the feminist ideology. Abortion is tantamount to the affirmation of the absolute sovereignty of the woman's body, as it is considered unfair that the fetus can force the mother to sacrifice their individual freedom by giving their lives.
The second conquest necessary to complete the feminist revolution is the destruction of family and marriage, "traditional." Even here there is to be divided between the request and the amendment of divorce to marriage and the battle to completely demolish the foundations of the family classic. " For the benefit of divorce are reports of husbands, bosses really terrible and it affirms the need to modify the rights and duties of spouses, and then turning them into each other's equal for both man and woman. To support the killing of family and marriage is used once again the only ideology, arguing that those forms of culture are wrong because it set up by misogynist men.
short, as is clear from this framework, there is a dichotomy between reality and ideology. Hannah Arendt, who knew a lot of totalitarian doctrines, said that ideology is often a way of not looking at reality. If you think that philosophy is the portrait of the banality of Nazi evil, heinous and cruel men, but to instill calm and convinced that he did the right thing, you realize the power nefarious ideology. Not a theory in itself, but of his frustration and extremism at the expense of factual reality. In a nutshell, I'm talking pure idealization of any project that does not take into account the multiplicity and complexity of the human race.
Without mincing words, it is clear the revolutionary ideology that embraces feminist theory and Marxist communist. Now, communism is not in its foundations the black beast that many believe. I say this as apolitical, eh. The idea of \u200b\u200bcommunism is an idea to mount beautiful, good, fair. Even Marx was a great, a brilliant person who understood how the capitalist system is self-initiated once virtually alone, each time producing wealth and increase value. Marx up front that includes the exploitation of the worker is not a matter of cruelty by the master, but because the system in which the worker has entered is flawed from the beginning, based on capital gains. In addition, the worker develops attachment to the fruit of his labor and so tends to alienate the work that pulls the fruit and that forced him to mechanical and repetitive gestures. This psychological aspect has never been touched by anyone before Marx and is much more important than you think. So the idea of \u200b\u200bimproving the condition of the workers and to curb the negative influences of capitalism is not bad. The problem arises later, in transforming the idea into an ideology. Good addition to the bases of patriarchy theory related to private property and marriage, with subsequent transformation of women and children in possession of goods, the total demonization of capitalism and the intention to establish an egalitarian society such as primitive. Marx asserts, in fact, that if man is completely detached from material things and then wins the selfishness can live without laws and the state. All this is carried out by Marxist doctrine, in which the same Marx ends up not recognize (the emblematic sentence: If this is Marxism, then I am not a Marxist). The friend of Marx, Engels, strongly reaffirms the theory of patriarchy as the beginning of the violence and inequality, the death of the peaceful and perfect matriarchy.
parentheses skinny but I made this clear enough to go to a refutation of the revolutionary ideology feminist. You need to first understand what this blessed matriarchy. As the meaning, "rule of the mother," the matriarchy means a society governed mainly by women. The first proponent of this theory was the Swiss historian Johann Jakob Bachofen, who lived in the second half of the nineteenth century. According to him the matriarchy to the early civilizations was the dominant form of government, then displaced by the violence of their patriarchal system of Indo-European invaders. Historians today, but did not find sufficient evidence in favor of matriarchy described by Bachofen, confirm the existence of an egalitarian society based on primitive communism and matrilinearity. Not a matriarchy, but a collection of clans united by ties of kinship where the descent line is for a mother. These historians acknowledge the important role of women in this culture, referring to the cult of the Mother Goddess and archaeological findings depict that. In addition, there are traces of the sacredness of the female figure in these civilizations also in myths, as pointed out Robert Graves and Marija Gimbutas, and it is clear that at some point the male gods are imposed on those women in society is because the switching from matriarchy to patriarchy. The feminist perspective matriarchy is interpreted as an expression of harmony and equality, as women are by their nature tend spontaneous expression of abundance and to give wisely. The reference to the golden age is obvious, but I think it is more logical to link to this myth of the egalitarian society that the matrilineal true matriarchy. The
matriarchy that we often talk about many followers of the Goddess, emphasizing the positive aspects from the company founded on monotheistic cults of male divinities, can not be a society like that of a golden age. It can not be so for the simple reason that implies the dominance of one sex, female, on the other, thus generating inequality. And I believe that the decline of the matrilineal society based on primitive communism is consequent upon their failure to internal balance between man and women. In fact it is true that the woman in the Neolithic, having active role in agriculture and in the administration of household goods, oat a dominant social role, but this can not be completely positive. Surely, this feature has created some fatal flaws in that society, then exacerbated by the passage of the nomadic civilization in the stable. The woman has created a role of power in a given environment, the family farm, leaving the freedom of human action in other areas. On the one hand it is natural, because the man-woman is different biologically and psychologically. His brain is bigger, even if only slightly, because it has developed more reflective skills and report those instinctive man. In short, man is the most practical thing for hunting and fishing, women are more emotional and industrious, and ready to forge ties and to take care of things and people. Expressing total spontaneity in these natural inclinations, without laws that protect the interests of everyone in the same way the modern state, has created a situation of apparent equilibrium. At the beginning is fine, the men come together and affinity for natural sociability, but in the long evolution undermines the balance. If you do not know you adapt, you're finished. A people does not live forever on agriculture and livestock, or you can move continuously. It is also normal for the wealth concentrated in the hands of a few people, in this case women, end up generating the disparity between the various families. That certainly will not if they were always quiet. Conflicts between clans are not unusual thing. Every human being is different and has different needs, while belonging to a common ancestry and culture. Some gap is always created. Then they make new discoveries and increase diversity. The myths to clearly show that initially the woman is considered sacred because the bearer of life. There are stories where women give birth has swallowed a fly or the touch of the wind. All this leads to a weakening of society egalitarian because of the lack of relevance of the male and the excessive importance given to women. Instead of enhancing their diversity, to grow in harmony and fullness, is flattened to a single model the whole civilization. The good about the base of the primitive egalitarian society soon began to waver. In the same religion of the Mother Goddess is a progressive enslavement of the male god against his wife, giving rise to the cults in which man-god lover served as a priestess to the goddess and as a sacrificial offering. At the origin was not. The real primordial religion, followed by eclectic Wicca, see the complementary value of the God and Goddess into a single entity. An egalitarian society existed at the beginning, but the absence of laws that protect both males and females and the same evolutionary process has meant that this model of justice to degenerate matriarchy in the short and then it was finally defeated in patriarchy.
Patriarchy as a model of Indo-European society is certainly not wrong of matriarchy. If everything in society dominated by women focuses on their role, precluding a true free evolutionary growth of both sexes, in that it focuses on the rule of man has opposite problem. It promotes freedom selfishly at the expense of the weakest. People are treated as goods and rights are given on the basis of wealth and power. But this applies not only to men. Even women provided with its own property can establish itself in the society at the expense of others. In Celtic culture and those of strain Nordic women have always retained considerable autonomy, provided, however, that he had a certain social role and power of his property. Among the Germans, for example, that before adopting the Roman administrative system practiced primitive communism, the woman is estimated to be very covenant to be a faithful wife. There is no trace of the famous family of convenience, that is based on marriage influenced by socio-economic needs. This
of legal marriage as the heritage of private property and patriarchy is another thing I want to dispel their feminism. Without a doubt the top men and women are paired in a very free, even with the formation of the first families. But just as one says of the texts of the documents I used for the benefit of matriarchy, marriage in the egalitarian society creates a bond of affection and kinship recognized by clan and used to join multiple clans. The statement made with intent to deny a legal marriage is precisely the effect opposite. However, the marriage was born in primitive society, including die egalitarian and matriarchal, we must come together as a family and build relationships within it. Reports certainly governed by the laws of the clan and religious cults. In fact, the clans have their own political structure, in contrast to what was thought in the past. Are not equivalent to the state, but they have rules. The management of these is usually based on the parent. Matriarchy in this figure is the matriarch, usually the older woman. With regard to the need of religious marriage, the same myths about the Goddess are the sacred marriage between the god and goddess of fertility and rituals involving prostitution sacred. From all this it follows that the social and religious marriage as a bond is a prerogative of civilization and that has always been defined by rules, which apply within the same family of organizations. For the matriarchy rules are decided by women, for men pratriarcato. In both cases, preclude one or the other sex to develop each according to his characteristics, but in harmony. In egalitarian matrilineal society tends to dominate the uniformity of the characters and the flattening of the differences in the patriarchal society dominated by the authority of the man most rich and powerful. In both cases, the freedom, the real one is suffocated. Because every individual is deprived the opportunity to grow as it wishes in respect of the other.
I have nothing to add to the rebuttal. Revisions are based on my logic, but even supporters of the rest of matriarchy have made their case in part from historical sources. As for me I tried to be as honest as possible. One thing I must add in conclusion. An egalitarian society such as feminist and Marxist us we had unfortunately. The former Soviet Union, beyond the ideological and political positions, an example to keep in mind. The example of how a good theory is ideological and used to form a company that did not allow the free creation of the individual, but forced him to adapt to a single model. A model considered just and absolute by people motivated by the best intentions. Passionate people to the communist cause and the poor conditions of workers, but unfortunately no common sense. The same is true for all other schemes that have attempted to create a perfect society and paradise according to their own ideals. Humans are similar but are expressed differently and have different needs. You can not expect that share everything as if nothing had happened, destroying their individuality, as it is wrong not to hamper freedom when no other basic rights. To ensure the peaceful coexistence of different people state exists, as I said in the post on the Kantian moral law. A nation that can not be egalitarian, ethical absolutist, but must allow the woman and man to enjoy the inalienable rights of human beings.
This unfortunately is not always the case, as in the case of the subjugation of women by men. The true feminists, who have asked for equal opportunities between women and men, should not be forgotten and all women should be grateful to him from my heart. But we must not forget that if you are able to obtain the main results is due to the State which has amended the law and monitoring of its implementation, with all its flaws. There is still much to work with, but no State shall come into anarchy and total return the disparities even more than before. In addition, the fault of the little attention paid to the working woman and family who also is the bad feminists attacked the ideology of those who did not want to admit the differences between men and women. A diversity that makes women unique and special and perfect as is. A woman who truly wish to realize a man does not need to pretend and use their body deciding the rules of sale.
In conclusion, I recommend to all those that illuminate the immense heard of feminism, to pay attention to take it as gospel ideology. So as to believe all the doctrines who advocate the free and happy society par excellence.

At least from my point of view, of course.
At this point I do the usual small premise. I am not of any party, I have said many times. I believe in the cooperation of all parties for the good of human beings, because all of us without distinction of sex or race can be fulfilled as we want to bring us in harmony and without damage to each other. It goes without saying that every revolutionary idea and exasperated, of any party, to be blunt.
feminism starts from this belief. I omit the famous three waves in which the current is divided, speaking only of feminism in Italy. At first, there are two strands, in clear disagreement between them. The first emphasizes the role of women in society and its development, calling for equal rights between male and female. The second relies on the myth of matriarchy, the beneficial primitive communism practiced by women and the intrinsic evil of patriarchy and capitalism. Although this line wants the equalization of men and women, but in very different ways. The woman should be in every way like man, canceling all characteristic of the female gender. Since women were, according to this ideology, oppressed by men for millennia, it is time to resume his revenge by taking over the reins of power. This leads to a progressive rejection of feminine characteristics, not because they really humiliating, but only as part of a past seen as stifling and oppressive. The right to procreate is seen as a wave, a more difficult affected only to women, and thus limiting the absolute leveling-man woman. It is first and right to contraception, which is also claimed by the first thread, which does not reject motherhood as something wrong. But the second line points out the ineffectiveness of some methods and the limitation of their freedom. Born abortion. Not comment on whether it is right or wrong, only carry the meaning of abortion in the feminist ideology. Abortion is tantamount to the affirmation of the absolute sovereignty of the woman's body, as it is considered unfair that the fetus can force the mother to sacrifice their individual freedom by giving their lives.
The second conquest necessary to complete the feminist revolution is the destruction of family and marriage, "traditional." Even here there is to be divided between the request and the amendment of divorce to marriage and the battle to completely demolish the foundations of the family classic. " For the benefit of divorce are reports of husbands, bosses really terrible and it affirms the need to modify the rights and duties of spouses, and then turning them into each other's equal for both man and woman. To support the killing of family and marriage is used once again the only ideology, arguing that those forms of culture are wrong because it set up by misogynist men.
short, as is clear from this framework, there is a dichotomy between reality and ideology. Hannah Arendt, who knew a lot of totalitarian doctrines, said that ideology is often a way of not looking at reality. If you think that philosophy is the portrait of the banality of Nazi evil, heinous and cruel men, but to instill calm and convinced that he did the right thing, you realize the power nefarious ideology. Not a theory in itself, but of his frustration and extremism at the expense of factual reality. In a nutshell, I'm talking pure idealization of any project that does not take into account the multiplicity and complexity of the human race.
Without mincing words, it is clear the revolutionary ideology that embraces feminist theory and Marxist communist. Now, communism is not in its foundations the black beast that many believe. I say this as apolitical, eh. The idea of \u200b\u200bcommunism is an idea to mount beautiful, good, fair. Even Marx was a great, a brilliant person who understood how the capitalist system is self-initiated once virtually alone, each time producing wealth and increase value. Marx up front that includes the exploitation of the worker is not a matter of cruelty by the master, but because the system in which the worker has entered is flawed from the beginning, based on capital gains. In addition, the worker develops attachment to the fruit of his labor and so tends to alienate the work that pulls the fruit and that forced him to mechanical and repetitive gestures. This psychological aspect has never been touched by anyone before Marx and is much more important than you think. So the idea of \u200b\u200bimproving the condition of the workers and to curb the negative influences of capitalism is not bad. The problem arises later, in transforming the idea into an ideology. Good addition to the bases of patriarchy theory related to private property and marriage, with subsequent transformation of women and children in possession of goods, the total demonization of capitalism and the intention to establish an egalitarian society such as primitive. Marx asserts, in fact, that if man is completely detached from material things and then wins the selfishness can live without laws and the state. All this is carried out by Marxist doctrine, in which the same Marx ends up not recognize (the emblematic sentence: If this is Marxism, then I am not a Marxist). The friend of Marx, Engels, strongly reaffirms the theory of patriarchy as the beginning of the violence and inequality, the death of the peaceful and perfect matriarchy.
parentheses skinny but I made this clear enough to go to a refutation of the revolutionary ideology feminist. You need to first understand what this blessed matriarchy. As the meaning, "rule of the mother," the matriarchy means a society governed mainly by women. The first proponent of this theory was the Swiss historian Johann Jakob Bachofen, who lived in the second half of the nineteenth century. According to him the matriarchy to the early civilizations was the dominant form of government, then displaced by the violence of their patriarchal system of Indo-European invaders. Historians today, but did not find sufficient evidence in favor of matriarchy described by Bachofen, confirm the existence of an egalitarian society based on primitive communism and matrilinearity. Not a matriarchy, but a collection of clans united by ties of kinship where the descent line is for a mother. These historians acknowledge the important role of women in this culture, referring to the cult of the Mother Goddess and archaeological findings depict that. In addition, there are traces of the sacredness of the female figure in these civilizations also in myths, as pointed out Robert Graves and Marija Gimbutas, and it is clear that at some point the male gods are imposed on those women in society is because the switching from matriarchy to patriarchy. The feminist perspective matriarchy is interpreted as an expression of harmony and equality, as women are by their nature tend spontaneous expression of abundance and to give wisely. The reference to the golden age is obvious, but I think it is more logical to link to this myth of the egalitarian society that the matrilineal true matriarchy. The
matriarchy that we often talk about many followers of the Goddess, emphasizing the positive aspects from the company founded on monotheistic cults of male divinities, can not be a society like that of a golden age. It can not be so for the simple reason that implies the dominance of one sex, female, on the other, thus generating inequality. And I believe that the decline of the matrilineal society based on primitive communism is consequent upon their failure to internal balance between man and women. In fact it is true that the woman in the Neolithic, having active role in agriculture and in the administration of household goods, oat a dominant social role, but this can not be completely positive. Surely, this feature has created some fatal flaws in that society, then exacerbated by the passage of the nomadic civilization in the stable. The woman has created a role of power in a given environment, the family farm, leaving the freedom of human action in other areas. On the one hand it is natural, because the man-woman is different biologically and psychologically. His brain is bigger, even if only slightly, because it has developed more reflective skills and report those instinctive man. In short, man is the most practical thing for hunting and fishing, women are more emotional and industrious, and ready to forge ties and to take care of things and people. Expressing total spontaneity in these natural inclinations, without laws that protect the interests of everyone in the same way the modern state, has created a situation of apparent equilibrium. At the beginning is fine, the men come together and affinity for natural sociability, but in the long evolution undermines the balance. If you do not know you adapt, you're finished. A people does not live forever on agriculture and livestock, or you can move continuously. It is also normal for the wealth concentrated in the hands of a few people, in this case women, end up generating the disparity between the various families. That certainly will not if they were always quiet. Conflicts between clans are not unusual thing. Every human being is different and has different needs, while belonging to a common ancestry and culture. Some gap is always created. Then they make new discoveries and increase diversity. The myths to clearly show that initially the woman is considered sacred because the bearer of life. There are stories where women give birth has swallowed a fly or the touch of the wind. All this leads to a weakening of society egalitarian because of the lack of relevance of the male and the excessive importance given to women. Instead of enhancing their diversity, to grow in harmony and fullness, is flattened to a single model the whole civilization. The good about the base of the primitive egalitarian society soon began to waver. In the same religion of the Mother Goddess is a progressive enslavement of the male god against his wife, giving rise to the cults in which man-god lover served as a priestess to the goddess and as a sacrificial offering. At the origin was not. The real primordial religion, followed by eclectic Wicca, see the complementary value of the God and Goddess into a single entity. An egalitarian society existed at the beginning, but the absence of laws that protect both males and females and the same evolutionary process has meant that this model of justice to degenerate matriarchy in the short and then it was finally defeated in patriarchy.
Patriarchy as a model of Indo-European society is certainly not wrong of matriarchy. If everything in society dominated by women focuses on their role, precluding a true free evolutionary growth of both sexes, in that it focuses on the rule of man has opposite problem. It promotes freedom selfishly at the expense of the weakest. People are treated as goods and rights are given on the basis of wealth and power. But this applies not only to men. Even women provided with its own property can establish itself in the society at the expense of others. In Celtic culture and those of strain Nordic women have always retained considerable autonomy, provided, however, that he had a certain social role and power of his property. Among the Germans, for example, that before adopting the Roman administrative system practiced primitive communism, the woman is estimated to be very covenant to be a faithful wife. There is no trace of the famous family of convenience, that is based on marriage influenced by socio-economic needs. This
of legal marriage as the heritage of private property and patriarchy is another thing I want to dispel their feminism. Without a doubt the top men and women are paired in a very free, even with the formation of the first families. But just as one says of the texts of the documents I used for the benefit of matriarchy, marriage in the egalitarian society creates a bond of affection and kinship recognized by clan and used to join multiple clans. The statement made with intent to deny a legal marriage is precisely the effect opposite. However, the marriage was born in primitive society, including die egalitarian and matriarchal, we must come together as a family and build relationships within it. Reports certainly governed by the laws of the clan and religious cults. In fact, the clans have their own political structure, in contrast to what was thought in the past. Are not equivalent to the state, but they have rules. The management of these is usually based on the parent. Matriarchy in this figure is the matriarch, usually the older woman. With regard to the need of religious marriage, the same myths about the Goddess are the sacred marriage between the god and goddess of fertility and rituals involving prostitution sacred. From all this it follows that the social and religious marriage as a bond is a prerogative of civilization and that has always been defined by rules, which apply within the same family of organizations. For the matriarchy rules are decided by women, for men pratriarcato. In both cases, preclude one or the other sex to develop each according to his characteristics, but in harmony. In egalitarian matrilineal society tends to dominate the uniformity of the characters and the flattening of the differences in the patriarchal society dominated by the authority of the man most rich and powerful. In both cases, the freedom, the real one is suffocated. Because every individual is deprived the opportunity to grow as it wishes in respect of the other.
I have nothing to add to the rebuttal. Revisions are based on my logic, but even supporters of the rest of matriarchy have made their case in part from historical sources. As for me I tried to be as honest as possible. One thing I must add in conclusion. An egalitarian society such as feminist and Marxist us we had unfortunately. The former Soviet Union, beyond the ideological and political positions, an example to keep in mind. The example of how a good theory is ideological and used to form a company that did not allow the free creation of the individual, but forced him to adapt to a single model. A model considered just and absolute by people motivated by the best intentions. Passionate people to the communist cause and the poor conditions of workers, but unfortunately no common sense. The same is true for all other schemes that have attempted to create a perfect society and paradise according to their own ideals. Humans are similar but are expressed differently and have different needs. You can not expect that share everything as if nothing had happened, destroying their individuality, as it is wrong not to hamper freedom when no other basic rights. To ensure the peaceful coexistence of different people state exists, as I said in the post on the Kantian moral law. A nation that can not be egalitarian, ethical absolutist, but must allow the woman and man to enjoy the inalienable rights of human beings.
This unfortunately is not always the case, as in the case of the subjugation of women by men. The true feminists, who have asked for equal opportunities between women and men, should not be forgotten and all women should be grateful to him from my heart. But we must not forget that if you are able to obtain the main results is due to the State which has amended the law and monitoring of its implementation, with all its flaws. There is still much to work with, but no State shall come into anarchy and total return the disparities even more than before. In addition, the fault of the little attention paid to the working woman and family who also is the bad feminists attacked the ideology of those who did not want to admit the differences between men and women. A diversity that makes women unique and special and perfect as is. A woman who truly wish to realize a man does not need to pretend and use their body deciding the rules of sale.
In conclusion, I recommend to all those that illuminate the immense heard of feminism, to pay attention to take it as gospel ideology. So as to believe all the doctrines who advocate the free and happy society par excellence.

Pluralism religious hypocrisy or enrichment?
I put this article in the topic because the Magic, religious pluralism, new religions and also covers the use of magic by the above. I have already mentioned several times about this issue and the reconciliation of Christianity and magic in the post on the origins of monotheism, but never specify the characteristics for good.
First, religious pluralism is always a positive attitude that make it possible to live peacefully in a multi-religious society. The problem is that the definitions have been given are not true, or true only in part, misrepresenting the intentions and purpose. Religious pluralism is not, in fact, neither extreme eclecticism and syncretism, nor pure relativism. Contains a balanced aspects of these three fundamental doctrines without falling into excesses. The best way to have peace among religions is that they talk to each other without anchoring to the conviction that only their religion is true, but accepting the transcendence of God than the human mind and at the same time remaining faithful to the foundations of religion membership. I take a simple example. I am Catholic Christian because I accept all the foundations of Christianity and its main tenets, but also the philosophy I follow an eclectic Wiccan, and I try to integrate Christianity into all the good values \u200b\u200band teachings of other religions. Do not destroy my Christian basis, but that the liberty to evolve. Starting right from the beginning that once there was only religion which are derived from others, that even though these different aspects of their religion tend to "mother". For me, religion is the mother of which I spoke in the post on primordial monotheism, he saw the unique principle divided into a god and goddess are complementary and not conflicting. From Christian, I consider Christianity the religion that fully reflects the primordial religion. But I realize that the Christian foundation they need to reinforce the principles of other religions, principles that do not conflict with those who are Christians but Christianity tend increasingly towards wholeness. In fact, the true religious pluralism to the question: what is the true religion? responds like me: the religions themselves are all true. I consider that my most complete.
So, in summary briefly, religious pluralism is to be authentic needs two things:
- Loyalty to the fundamentals of their religion
-Willingness to accept diversity as richness
No religion has the right to " devour each other, but must seek its cooperation for the ethical and social welfare of humanity, leaving everyone the freedom of choice. Linko
sources that express the concept much better.

Write A Letter - Confirmation Work Is Complete
Kant's moral law and the laws of the state: conflict or cooperation?
This saw yet another mind ... er, discussion, started as usual from my shamelessly lurk bioethics and news sites looking for the most number of articles (abortion, euthanasia , free unions, artificial insemination, cloning, and similar amenities). I noticed that on the most "modernist", who often deny the individualism and selfishness that permeates the being contemporary human to the marrow, is often referred to self, personal responsibility, to complete freedom over his own body and mind. In contrast, on the most "conservative" (both of Catholic lay people), I found a strong moral sense attached to the laws of the State and the duties it imposes on the person. So it has awakened in me an old question, brought up by my former professor of philosophy: the relationship between Kant's moral law and the laws of the State.
My dear professor, exasperated by the continuing oversight of my fellow (yes, I was a real nerd, even the math teacher listened without saying a word!) used to say:
" do not have to listen to me because I punish you, but because you are convinced that it is the right thing to do! . Result? One can imagine ^ _ ^. I do not know how Mancini has endured a whole year to my class.
The reference to Kant's moral law is explicit in the words of Professor, as well as criticism of any kind of moral philosopher heteronomous, that is externally imposed and intended to achieve an end. The laws of the state fall into this second category. Are imposed by an entity external to man and provide for specific rights, duties and responsibilities, mandatory, otherwise the various sanctions and penalties (in extreme cases).
the mentality of today tend to emphasize now to one now to another form of regulation, without pausing to reflect that they are not mutually exclusive but complement each other. Just as the modernist and the conservative position are both ends up wrong. I will try, in my small way, to show that a synthesis is possible.
Starting from Kant's moral law (known in short, every book that then change the words!):
"Always act in such a way that the maxim of thy will may become the law of universal value"
It is clear from way, which indicated that the law has a value FORMAL. It guides you in the law. And as the law encourages the exercise of willpower on the impulse of feeling. You have to because, regardless of what you want. Count the principle upstream of the will, the intention with which it operates. This principle is found precisely in the form of the moral law. So that the good is given by following the moral law.
Against any wrong interpretation, Kant is specific to each individual to translate into reality the moral law, depending on the conditions under which it is located. These conditions involve the interaction of some single individual with more people, in a network of various social relations. And here comes the fun part. How do I to enforce for all people the moral law? Because it is rational and objective, it must be true beyond human needs. In theory. But in practice can be realized?
Because the moral law is independent of individual experience, needs to force a sponsor who can ensure the implementation without contradicting it. This guarantor is the state conceived by Kant. In fact, the philosopher does not deny at all, as a good rationalist, the laws of the State and its function. He knows very well that the man has strong selfish impulses and therefore needs to be regulated by law.
State for him to be based on three principles:
- Freedom
- Equality in front of the law
- Independence man that free
Only such a state can drive according to the moral law and its own laws, which in fact derived from the first, society.
Now, the company is something natural and necessary in human history and must not allow neither individualism nor other types of queens despotic. Although cosmopolitan, Kant recognizes the importance of society as a place where men relate to each other evolve. But this development is only possible if every man, even if they conflict with each other, shall be guided by laws. This significant statement, for which men are like trees:
" are forced to find another one above the other and of themselves, because they grow beautiful and straight, while others, who, in freedom and isolated each other, bring arms to taste grow up crippled, crooked and winding. "
This tells us that yes we have freedom over our bodies and our minds, but we're not really men if we fail to relate to each other. The ethical dimension of man, I repeat what I said in the preceding, it begins when he enters the other. The other is a mirror, a promotion, the spark that ignite the flame.
However, it remains the problem of emotional sphere. Kant relegated to the noumenal and puts it in the shade than the right, and I think this is a serious error, which affected the validity of his theories in later philosophical systems. The sentiment is an impulse and that is what drives us to know, to love and open ourselves to life. A life force, the main engine of man. But the sentiment can, and should be aided by reason. Especially in the social and relational. Before you say I'm free to do what I feel, nobody can force me to feel certain feelings and emotions, to have ties to a third party, you must also think: ok, it is pure hypocrisy to pretend emotions, but the other person? I really have the right to hurt her just because I do not like a genius? And here
successor respect, duty, and the educational force of the law. Why selfish impulse is human and natural, but only if it bears fruit allows the person to live in harmony with others without sacrificing their individuality. The heteronomous moral, mitigated the influence of the sphere of thumb on them, as are the younger sisters of Kantian moral law. It puts into practice the moral law, to ensure their compliance without forcing it, and foster the individual.
rules and obligations are not loops around the neck, but useful and necessary for man to cultivate the strength of will and the good called freedom. The problem today is precisely to have a weak will, as now only relying on the modernist position now only a conservative can not be that mature. The prohibitions are used to this, to give the limits and make it understand its importance. I conclude with the second moral law (there are three but the first to include all) of Kant, which summarizes a bit 'all the talk about the company:
"Make sure you always treat your neighbor as an end and never merely as a means ". 
My dear professor, exasperated by the continuing oversight of my fellow (yes, I was a real nerd, even the math teacher listened without saying a word!) used to say:
" do not have to listen to me because I punish you, but because you are convinced that it is the right thing to do! . Result? One can imagine ^ _ ^. I do not know how Mancini has endured a whole year to my class.
The reference to Kant's moral law is explicit in the words of Professor, as well as criticism of any kind of moral philosopher heteronomous, that is externally imposed and intended to achieve an end. The laws of the state fall into this second category. Are imposed by an entity external to man and provide for specific rights, duties and responsibilities, mandatory, otherwise the various sanctions and penalties (in extreme cases).
the mentality of today tend to emphasize now to one now to another form of regulation, without pausing to reflect that they are not mutually exclusive but complement each other. Just as the modernist and the conservative position are both ends up wrong. I will try, in my small way, to show that a synthesis is possible.
Starting from Kant's moral law (known in short, every book that then change the words!):
"Always act in such a way that the maxim of thy will may become the law of universal value"
It is clear from way, which indicated that the law has a value FORMAL. It guides you in the law. And as the law encourages the exercise of willpower on the impulse of feeling. You have to because, regardless of what you want. Count the principle upstream of the will, the intention with which it operates. This principle is found precisely in the form of the moral law. So that the good is given by following the moral law.
Against any wrong interpretation, Kant is specific to each individual to translate into reality the moral law, depending on the conditions under which it is located. These conditions involve the interaction of some single individual with more people, in a network of various social relations. And here comes the fun part. How do I to enforce for all people the moral law? Because it is rational and objective, it must be true beyond human needs. In theory. But in practice can be realized?
Because the moral law is independent of individual experience, needs to force a sponsor who can ensure the implementation without contradicting it. This guarantor is the state conceived by Kant. In fact, the philosopher does not deny at all, as a good rationalist, the laws of the State and its function. He knows very well that the man has strong selfish impulses and therefore needs to be regulated by law.
State for him to be based on three principles:
- Freedom
- Equality in front of the law
- Independence man that free
Only such a state can drive according to the moral law and its own laws, which in fact derived from the first, society.
Now, the company is something natural and necessary in human history and must not allow neither individualism nor other types of queens despotic. Although cosmopolitan, Kant recognizes the importance of society as a place where men relate to each other evolve. But this development is only possible if every man, even if they conflict with each other, shall be guided by laws. This significant statement, for which men are like trees:
" are forced to find another one above the other and of themselves, because they grow beautiful and straight, while others, who, in freedom and isolated each other, bring arms to taste grow up crippled, crooked and winding. "
This tells us that yes we have freedom over our bodies and our minds, but we're not really men if we fail to relate to each other. The ethical dimension of man, I repeat what I said in the preceding, it begins when he enters the other. The other is a mirror, a promotion, the spark that ignite the flame.
However, it remains the problem of emotional sphere. Kant relegated to the noumenal and puts it in the shade than the right, and I think this is a serious error, which affected the validity of his theories in later philosophical systems. The sentiment is an impulse and that is what drives us to know, to love and open ourselves to life. A life force, the main engine of man. But the sentiment can, and should be aided by reason. Especially in the social and relational. Before you say I'm free to do what I feel, nobody can force me to feel certain feelings and emotions, to have ties to a third party, you must also think: ok, it is pure hypocrisy to pretend emotions, but the other person? I really have the right to hurt her just because I do not like a genius? And here
successor respect, duty, and the educational force of the law. Why selfish impulse is human and natural, but only if it bears fruit allows the person to live in harmony with others without sacrificing their individuality. The heteronomous moral, mitigated the influence of the sphere of thumb on them, as are the younger sisters of Kantian moral law. It puts into practice the moral law, to ensure their compliance without forcing it, and foster the individual.
rules and obligations are not loops around the neck, but useful and necessary for man to cultivate the strength of will and the good called freedom. The problem today is precisely to have a weak will, as now only relying on the modernist position now only a conservative can not be that mature. The prohibitions are used to this, to give the limits and make it understand its importance. I conclude with the second moral law (there are three but the first to include all) of Kant, which summarizes a bit 'all the talk about the company:
"Make sure you always treat your neighbor as an end and never merely as a means ".

St. Hildegard of Bingen: 'witch' Christian
The title of this post is contradictory, I know, perhaps ridiculous, but it is not. The character which I am about to speak, Hildegard of Bingen, is a figure very unique in the Western esoteric and mystical. First of all, it is striking that this is a woman. Today, the esoteric (commonly known as witches or sorcerers, but also by many other names) are perhaps more numerous and more capable than males in magic, but at the time of Hildegard was not the case. Hildegard lived during the Middle Ages and is able to enjoy a unique freedom and comparable to that of men, anticipating the advent of the concept of chivalry and courtly woman, but some modern women's claims.
Hildegard was born in 1098 in a village near Alzey, Rhenish Hesse, a pair of noble. Satuli weak from an early age, Hildegard was sent to eight years in the convent of Disibodenberg. But the real cause of this transfer is supposed to be another. The girl always shows her dowry with her more often, or clairvoyance. Understanding, reasoning on this information, as the facts are easy.
At that time people, especially women, considered magical or supernatural gifts that they had to choose between two paths: to go into a convent and become mystics or be accused of witchcraft. The noble or at least those with more economic opportunities chose the first option, while the others were automatically condemned. I have already spoken on the Inquisition in the post.
short, Hildegard has all it takes to become a witch with the flakes. Fortunately, the parents decide to act before it is too late and recommend to the daughter Jutta of Sponheim, another young aristocrat who takes the task of educating Hildegard. And so the child can reveal all of its incredible potential to become an adult, a very influential person outside the monastery. Despite having a quiet character, in fact, Hildegard did not send word to anyone and is not afraid of anything. Quarrels with the Emperor Frederick Pope legitimized when they oppose the three anti-popes, ending their friendship, and she responds in kind to some of the monks who criticize his style too "free." In fact, Hildegard uses dressing magnificently during the holidays and is adorned with jewelry of her companions, because the woman is for her benevolence and charity of Christ. But this woman is famous for having revived the concept, foreshadowed by the "macho" of the Church, the feminine side of God the Creator He used it to call God Mother, identifying this aspect of the feminine personification of Wisdom (the Hebrew Shekinah cabalistic and that I talked so much about the old post). And Wisdom is the inspiration for his mystical visions that Hildegard contains the following books:
Scivias (you know the way): consists of three parts, with a clear reference to the Trinity. The first illustrates the nature of God and the cosmos, the choirs of angels, the creation of man. In the second speaks of the Fall and the Church. In the third concludes with the divine virtues and with the advent of the Kingdom of God
Meritorum Liber Vitae (Books of the merits of life): describes in detail the virtues and human penis, with consequences in the afterlife
Liber Divinorum Operum (The book of divine works): basically a Christian cosmology, however, focused on the role of men and women (to emphasize the fairness of the two genres to the holy and the special dignity that she was the female sex ) in creation, seen as co-creator next to the angels and God's interests Hildegard
not end there. She is passionate about music and art, composing Carmina and the Ordo Virtutum (description of the Christian virtues to music), accompanying all of his writings with thumbnails worthy of being on a par with those of the most skilled ammanuensi. But are the works of esoteric flavor of natural magic to be more precise, to make a figure so important. These works are divided into:
Physica (Natural History): collect botanical and medical knowledge of his era. Is the healing power of herbs and stones, covering both scientific and holistic psychology. It is striking that the proposed remedies are valid, with slight modifications, to this day.
Liber causae et Curae (Book of the diseases and remedies): classifies various psycho-physical ailments of the person deciding on the basis of symptoms and type of patient the proper care. Important because it introduces the concept of "personal care", that is specific to each person (in fact, as we know today, the drugs may have different effects depending on who takes them).
Before concluding with the comment, I must mention the interest of Hildegard for the field we now call sexology. What revolutionary for its time and certainly not trivial. Hildegard fact gives great value to sex, seen as vital energy, both procreative point that the psychological-emotional. Body and soul are united to her, and then there is nothing shameful in carnal relations. Also stands out, which is confirmed by scholars, sexuality experienced by humans and that experienced by the woman. The man tends to be more "hot" and passionate, physically linked to the instinct, the woman rather more sober and reflective, as it mainly involved psychologically and emotionally. No wonder the rest of these statements. Christianity itself has never condemned the sex, he gave only the limits. The little people who have too much respect, like Tertullian (eh, was obsessed!), St. Augustine (well, he had his reasons), and Fathers of the Church some Westerners do not represent Christianity in its entirety. Clement of Alexandria stated that there is not one organ in the body of which to be ashamed and the major Western mystics such as Hildegard did not reject all human body size. During the Middle Ages to demonize the body we have thought a lot about the Cathars and the various Gnostic groups, precisely contrary to the Christian mystics (St. Francis composed the Canticle of the Creatures in open opposition to the Cathar view of the world) Just
body size is the basis of esoteric thought St. Hildegard. Its great merit is that it has enhanced the magic conception of the cosmos that had the pagans, or natural unity of the macrocosm the human microcosm. As in ancient magic nature had its own life, in the writings of Hildegard Viriditas it is pervaded by the vital energy that is placed by God in creation. By virtue of this energy plants, rocks and natural compounds act on the human body by changing both the physical and mental. This medicine is therefore holistic as it does not split the body from the psychic sphere and considers the individual parts on the basis of everything. The disease appears as Hildegard alteration of the interior of the human body, a lack of Viriditas, and therefore treatable with the help of natural elements that are full of vital energy and act as ricarira. Man può vivere bene solo se vive in armonia con il creato e, attraverso di esso, con Dio e con l'energia verdeggiante del cosmo.
