Letter prisoner Walter Bond, 03/11/2010

It recommended reading, particularly those who have already embarked on a path that includes being a vegan.
Walter Bond was arrested July 23, 2010 and accused of "Lone Wolf", the business of "ALF (Animal Liberation Front) accused of arson Montone factory in Colorado. E 'was also charged in Utah for the arson of Tandy Leather Factory and Tiburon (a restaurant where they serve foie gras).
activist for animal rights and anti-capitalist for over 15 years, Walter has been fighting for animal liberation, and is now a prisoner.
ELIMINATION
am an activist abolitionist animal liberation, and you could be too. How many more animals must die before we stop to join the 'Big Picture'? 100 billion? A trillion? How much more of our Mother Earth has to be decimated and deforested before we draw a line in the sand or in the forest, if it is the case? I am not a teacher or a politician.
I am and have always been a street activist. You know, the street.
That 's where the real battles are fought, not at universities, where long after the smoke of battle has cleared, you always pretend to have won that for which others have fought, bled and died. What I see looking to the Movement per i Diritti Animali qui in America è un sacco di codardia esaltata. Non che non vi siano altrettanti individui lodevoli ed altruisti che fanno tanto di indispensabile nell’interesse degli animali non umani. Ce ne sono eccome. Ad ogni modo, come il veganismo si è diffuso, così anche sono aumentati i buffoni e gli impostori convinti che siccome seguono un’alimentazione vegan allora possono permettersi di parlare di attivismo. Odio dire cose ovvie, ma il non far nulla rimane pur sempre un nulla di fatto.
Personalmente supporto il veganismo al 100% perché se tutti seguissero una dieta vegan ferrea, ciò rappresenterebbe la fine dell’uso ed abuso degli animali non umani. Questo è fondamentalmente true, because everyone could become vegan. Personally, it is claimed that veganism has a profound impact, or will not have anyone, I will adhere anyway because I do not intend to take part in the worst, the most deliberate sacrifice of innocent lives in the history of the planet. It means doing the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do. That said, my veganism will not stand by saving that animal lives 90 or so each year. The world population is not static, and increases returns. In the same time as you or I become vegan, 100,000 children are trained to consider body parts as food. This is why it is ridiculous to sit in a circle to eat vegan cookies and think that this is saving the world.
The real abolitionist activist for animal liberation is the one who not only opposed to slavery and death in their daily consumption but also opposes the world around him. For each of the abolitionists had passed, this has resulted in being brave, resisting the system, and accept the consequences. Let's look at these expressions one at a time.
Be brave
When I say 'courage' I mean not succumbing to fear if the situation warrants. The simplest example of this is to say what a caged animal would like you to say. Too often I saw 'activists' run into this school of thought such as "you meet people." No, not you! How people react to the truth is not your problem. You can not fight the status quo and be perceived as part of it at the same time. The awareness that animals exist for themselves and not for human interests are diametrically opposed to the consumer society in which we live. Another more extreme example of courage would be put on a war footing for the non-human animals facing their oppressors. For example, when a garrison where it is almost certain confrontation with the police, I'd rather have by my side a courageous activist and motivated only prepared to give up for their ideals rather than 50 cowards who prefer to play with words and talk about the 'Big Picture' or 'long-term results of our Movement'! The animals are suffering and dying now. So we should fight and save their lives now, not so hard. To be fearless and bold, it is useful to learn to internalize the message. A characteristic of cowards is that their priority is their safety and security. Any tactic that involves danger is inevitably seen as wrong, regardless of what is clearly effective. Look at it from this point, if you were you under the guillotine, would you have someone acting for you or preferireste intrattenere un interessante dibattito filosofico riguardo la vostra imminente condanna a morte e di come ci stiamo attivando per riformarne le modalità entro il 2045? La codardia non è una virtù e il coraggio non è un vizio.
Resistere al Sistema ed accettarne le conseguenze
Quando combatti il Sistema, lui è già pronto a contrattaccare. A seconda di quanto sei efficace, l’oppressore determina il grado della sua reazione. Accettare le conseguenze, non significa accettare la repressione governativa. Quello che intendo è di aspettarsi una reazione. Non importa quanto sei ‘entro i tuoi diritti’, o quanto ‘contrario ad attività illecite’ tu possa be, do not you decide that you will be paid the penalty. They do some police officers, federal agents and investigators and they are simply custodians of the interests of private companies. In a consumer society you have the right to acquire objects and keep quiet. On the contrary, the only real crime is to disobey the way things usually go. When you're prepared for the reaction of the government, the state, the legal cheating, disappears and the element of surprise is a powerful tool to remove them from their hands. In some ways it's a compliment. If guardians of animal exploitation think well of us, then we should think the worst of ourselves. We can not stop
oppose the system. Until non vediamo cambiamenti nella società, le azioni per la Liberazione Animale e della Terra dovranno non solo esserci, ma aumentare. Non c’è un solo approccio onnicomprensivo. Lo sfruttamento animale non è una tematica semplice, è complessa e ha molte facce. Comprende molte specie animali e la Terra, nostra casa comune. Quindi quando parlo di resistenza, non sto parlando di un’unica tattica o di un’unica strada da seguire. Sto parlando della rabbia che tiene vivo ed attivo il nostro Movimento, una vera minaccia alla schiavizzazione e all’oggettivazione delle specie animali. Che si sia scrittori, attivisti di strada, educatori, filosofi, o semplicemente vegani, é giusto e necessario percepire l’urgenza e l’impellenza of our struggle and pain and suffering of animals, without passion, strength is just another empty word. While veganism and animal rights are taking their place on the collective level of consciousness, it is essential that the message is not lost in the wind.
I'm incredibly happy with the results obtained in the last 10 years. Even as a prisoner, I have the opportunity to apply for and obtain food vegan. But as the public face of veganism grows, so must also be the basis of movement, otherwise it becomes just another market segment, growing in parallel with traditional power without bloodshed, but significantly reduced.
We
abolitionist activists for animal liberation, we can not let advertisers transform veganism in a group of hypochondriacs set with food, or let the animal rights are simply part of the social philosophical debate.
The reasons why we are fighting is a matter of life or death for us and many others. We begin to treat them with the seriousness they deserve and not as a trendy diet.
Animal Liberation, at any cost!

Why Does My Cat Need An Endoscopy
Ho incontrato l'anima in cammino sul mio sentiero
And a man said, Speak to us of knowledge.
And he answered saying:
Your heart knows in silence the secrets of the days and nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound to what the heart knows.
Would you say what you've always thought.
Would you like to touch the naked body of your dreams.
And it is good to know: The source
Hidden outpouring of your soul must necessarily flow and murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths will show in your eyes;
But with the balance going to evaluate this unknown treasure;
And not with probing rod or probe the depths of your knowledge. Since
is a sea boundless and immeasurable.
not say, "I found the truth," but rather, "I found a truth."
not say, "I found the path of the soul", but rather, "I met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul is not in a straight line, nor cresce come una canna.
L'anima si schiude, come un fiore di loto dagli innumerevoli petali.
- da "Il Profeta" di Khalil Gibran -

How To Handle Seborrhea
L'esistenza ha bisogno di te
I Tarocchi Zen di Osho
1. L'Esistenza
Non esisti in quanto frutto del caso. L'esistenza ha bisogno di te. Senza di te nell'esistenza mancherebbe qualcosa e niente potrebbe prendere il suo posto. Ciò ti dà dignità - il fatto che l'intera esistenza sentirà la tua mancanza. Le stelle e il sole e la luna, gli alberi e gli uccelli e la terra - ogni cosa, nell'intero universo, sentirà che a corner is empty, and no one can fill, except for you. This gives you an immense joy, a satisfaction, because you feel you are related to the existence, and it takes care of you. When you are clear and clean, you'll pour in all sizes from a boundless love.

The nude figure sits on a lotus leaf to perfection and look at the beauty of the starry sky. He knows that "Home" is not a physical place of the outside world, but a quality of relaxation and inner acceptance. The stars, stones, trees, flowers, fish and birds are all our brothers and sisters in the dance of life. We human beings tend to forget, as we pursue our personal and private purposes, and we have to fight to get what we need. But ultimately our sense of separateness is an illusion manufactured by the small concerns of the mind. Now is time to look if you allow yourself to receive the extraordinary gift of feeling at home wherever you are. If you do, be sure to give yourself time to savor it, so that you can settle in even more deeply and to take you forever. If you have the feeling that the world exists to overpower you, it's time to take a break. Tonight, go out and look for the stars.

2010 Homebuyer Credit Is It Refundable
We are all anarchists, deep down. Evolution and Revolution
Article 15/11 of the blog italianimbecilli.blogspot.com
In the various places where there is presence of people, there is always someone that can even deny their conscience so as not to admit to himself that the anarchist ideal is adherent to his own thought, to ' I most sincerely. We say this with knowledge of the facts and experience. What we seem severe, since in this autorifiuto identifies a limitation of personal freedom. This is un'autocensura that hurts both the practitioner, both at the whole community.
There is this fear really, truly false, which makes people refractory to any speculation libertarian nature. These are people who have received information distorted on anarchy, and this information (taxes from those who do not want to take the individual consciousness) form a tough capsule that holds their conscience.
Discover the extraordinary effectiveness of anarchism to the problems of the individual and humanity is really easy, just read up - directly to original sources and not by what is said, to understand where the truth lies, and even where is the lie. phrases like "no man has received from nature the right to rule others" , Denis Diderot, is really hard to not share. In fact, the share intimately, but some feel a sense of revulsion knowing che ricalca l'ideale anarchico.
Si arriva ad assistere ad una contraddizione di coscienza, dove l'amore universale nei riguardi della fratellanza, predicato anche dalle persone paurose dell'anarchia, viene cortocircuitato o ignorato se quella stessa fratellanza viene predicata dagli anarchici. Sembra si voglia far finta di nulla e, in effetti, è proprio così, la reazione di queste persone, nel migliore dei casi, è quella dell'indifferenza. Di fronte alla scoperta del vero anarchismo (che non è caos e assenza di regole, non è neanche violenza), queste persone si scherniscono, adottano un atteggiamento di finta indifferenza. Perché finta? Perché la conoscenza non si può nascondere o ignorare. La conoscenza parla directly to the consciences and then we can say that these people are afraid of their own conscience . They are afraid to discover anarchist (man is born an anarchist, but do not know, ignore it or will it ignore).
So as not to admit to themselves the goodness of anarchy, another typical reaction of these people is to try desperately absurd pretexts, the most secret and non-existent loopholes or try-out impossible to disseminate the logical path of unlikely 'if' or 'but' . In other words: if the wall is white and it says, these people are trying rinneghino content that color. Absurd, but true. Likewise, when we anarchists explained by a linear logic and transparency in the violent state against the individual, the speaker starts to look scary reasons or evidence to show that we we're wrong (and there really puts it all). But these attempts are often clumsy, foolish, contradictory, do not serve to convince us to be wrong, rather than serve to convince themselves have no reason not to fall into the terrible jaws of their own conscience. It 's a method of self-deterrence, a way to defend against some kind of witchcraft or sorcery. As if to admit the validity of anarchist philosophy would be to condemn to eternal fire degl'inferi.
This is the result or effect of a propaganda di Stato che da almeno cento anni denigra gli anarchici proprio per la loro carica contagiosa di verità e di libertà, una propaganda continua che accusa gli anarchici in ogni frangente, li insulta, li condanna in ogni modo possibile, sì da far apparire l'anarchia qualcosa di pericoloso, di terribile. In effetti l'anarchia è sì pericolosa, ma non certo per gli individui che sono l'essenza dell'umanità, quell'umanità che gli anarchici vogliono difendere e liberare da ogni oppressore, al fine di liberare se stessi e la Natura.
Così al bambino viene insegnato che l'anarchia è violenza (quando invece l'anarchia odia la violenza), che senza regole non si vive (quando invece l'anarchia vive di regole-altre), disorder that is (if anything, is dis-order, understood as a subversion of the established, state, oppressive). Then the child grows up with the idea that the state is good and trouble in the future, let him find out the truth, the reactions could also be violent or as described so far. Lyrics and bloody revolt? Benvenga, but only those of the State (national anthem), but those who dare to cry out to the streets 'to arms' is being held up, if not condemned. Beyond the digression that serves as example, there is really to reflect on fear-induced towards anarchy.
The problem is that this fear to its own consciousness tends to alienate the individual, which does not feel free to explore other horizons (although he claims to be perfectly free), you feel intimidated and self-harm in spirit. These people, while complaining about many things wrong and suffered various abuses, are those who say to themselves: 'it is true, but I will not believe it', but without concluding anything, in fact hindering the process of liberation for all mankind .
What happens when you convince the fearful spot, even partially, of the goodness of the ideal anarchist? While continuing to defend themselves and not to accept that goodness, scary clings to what he has, what he considers a 'security' and wants us to do a scientific demonstration of anarchists, Proven, tested anarchy. Incidentally, it would be nice if all these systems were applied to real self-defense against the state, then yes there would be no need to explain anarchism (you, timid, try the flea who oppresses you, and even to yourself, Ask questions, demand tests). Sorry for the digression. Well, require proof of anarchy as it is applied by the State to claim the proof that the law is equal for everyone or that there is a real social justice. Whoever clings to these challenges, hoping to embarrass the anarchists, he falls ill. There are many who say "but anarchy is a utopia, can not be done" , imagining he had found in these due luoghi comuni una propria salvezza, un salvacondotto per rimanere nella propria prigione. Ma dobbiamo disilluderli. Anzitutto diciamo che l'anarchia si è compiuta in varie parti del mondo, quindi la prova c'è, si può fare, ma, a prescindere da queste prove, bisogna dire che l'anarchia è una condotta, una filosofia che nasce dall'uomo per sua stessa esigenza, e per il solo fatto che l'uomo riesca a pensarla, essa è realizzabile. "Quando è una sola persona a sognare, non è altro che un sogno. Ma quando molte persone sognano insieme, è l'inizio di una realtà" . (F. Hundertwasser)
Alcune citazioni di anarchici illustri

" If we really had a meaning the word crime, no crime would be greater than what the company does col lasciar sussistere la miseria." (L. Molinari)

Long Dong Silver John Cook
Taken from "The Evolution , la Révolution et l'idéal anarchique (Stock, Paris 1898)" by Elysée Reclus
[...] Although there is always a clear parallel in the events Partial comprising the whole life of society, in reality, the evolution embraces the whole of human affairs, so too must understand the revolution. All progress is supportive, and we wish them all based on our knowledge and our strength: progress social and political, moral and material, scientific, artistic or industrial. In each context we are not only evolution, but in the same way for the revolution, because we realize that history itself is but a series of stages reached after a similar series of preparatory steps. The great intellectual evolution that has emancipated the minds as a logical consequence the empowerment of individuals in all relationships with glialtri. One can therefore conclude that the evolution and revolution are the two subsequent acts of the same phenomenon: the evolution before the revolution, and this precedes a new development, generating future revolutions. Can a change to occur without causing sudden shifts in the balance in your life? The revolution does not necessarily follow the trend, as the act follows the will to act? One other differ only in the moment of their appearance. If a landslide bar a river, the waters gradually pile up upstream of the obstacle, a lake formed by a slow evolution, then suddenly produce an infiltration in the dam downstream and fall of a stone will determine the earthquake: the dam will be violently swept away and the lake emptied back river. So there will be a small revolution of the Earth. If the revolution is always lagging behind the development, the case back to the resistance of the elements: a current of water rustling in the banks because they slow down its course, the lightning bolt in the sky because the atmosphere has opposed the spark emerged from the clouds. Each transformation of matter, each realization of an idea, at the very moment of change is constrained by the inertia of the environment, the new phenomenon can not be achieved except through a more violent effort or fatigue of the more intense the higher resistance. Herder has already said, speaking of the French Revolution: "The seed into the earth and for a long time looks dead, then suddenly throws out his spear, move the hard earth that covers it, does violence to the enemy clay: here it becomes a plant, flower and ripen its fruit. " And the boy was born as? After nine months left in the dark of the womb, also manages to come out with violence, tearing its covering, and sometimes even killing the mother. So are the revolutions necessary consequences of the changes that preceded them. [...]

How Does Exercise Lower Blood Sugar Levels
Attimi di eternità
of Francesco Lamendola
There is a cultural bias whereby, for a spiritual vision of life, it should display the highest contempt for the body and, more general, the emotional dimension related to the sphere of the sensible.
Far from it.
The spiritual vision of life does not go through a denial of the body and physical sensibility: think of a thing, it means thinking by eunuchs, on the contrary, it passes through the celebration of the body and the full recognition of the sensitivity to cross the physical size and fly toward broader horizons.
Who has never felt a feeling of deep admiration in front of the body, and who never did, not even once in a lifetime, the experience of dissolving in the pure physical joy of ecstasy, is ineligible to understand what really spirituality, because it is not the negation but the full realization of the sublime beauty of el'oltrepassamento physical and emotional dimension.
A man who has never heard dissolve, even once, in the sweetness of the embrace of a woman, to not understand where it ends and where your body begins to her, a woman who has not shown the same experience in the arms of a man, are not full of people: unless they have been able to go directly to the beauty of the Being, which is granted, as a special privilege, to the souls mystical.
In any case, no slanderer of the body has never owned the right tools to fly to the upper regions of the soul, because, without need to disturb the Platonic Eros, it is intuitive that if you can not see the beauty of the body , is not even worthy to appreciate the soul.
In fact, the beauty of the body and the soul are not two different and opposing things: they are two sides of the same coin. It is true, however, that the body does not turn their own light, that its brightness is not self-sufficient, that it always gets its beauty from above, that the soul, and never occurs otherwise.
That said, however, should not think that the body is a kind of divine plan or a failure of existential joke, and, although his real ontological is illusory - as is that of every other body material -, until we live in this dimension, we can not separate or break free from it, but we must, on the contrary, integrating it in the splendor of the soul, do one with it.
So the right question we should be asking is not whether the soul can do without the body, but rather, if we have a soul big enough, bright enough, to embrace the body, transfiguring it, to illuminate, to spiritualize . Or the soul is so small and petty that he will never glorify the body, what care we lavish materials with it, as you would a spoiled child?
We are not Cartesian, thank God, we are not dualists, we do not believe that we can separate the "res cogitans" from the "res extensa". We believe and we are deeply convinced that there is something more sublime and nobler than fusione tra la dimensione corporea e la dimensione spirituale, quando due anime si incontrano fino a compenetrarsi anche nel corpo; quando due corpi si compenetrano fino a far scaturire l’anima, purificata e glorificata.
Nessuno ha il diritto di aggrottare le ciglia, di fare il moralista, di impancarsi a “uomo superiore” quando si parla di una delle più alte e preziose esperienze che siano concesse alle creature umane: quella di abbandonarsi pienamente, felicemente, incondizionatamente, l’una nelle braccia di un'altra, ritrovando - al tempo stesso - la propria parte più vera e trascurata.
Al fondo dell’anima umana, vi è un riflesso dell’anima cosmica e una scintilla dell’anima divine, and if the powers of ecstasy are able to awaken sensory awareness, opening a crack of infinite, then it means that the beauty and joy of the body are also one of the noble paths that lead to the release of ' soul.
That does not mean automatically, always, the meeting of two bodies will result in the encounter and mutual release of two souls. If souls are sufficiently advanced, this can take place. But it can also happen that they are on two different developmental levels, or that, despite being above the lowest level and selfish, are not yet able to generate the melody divine that spreads when the soul leaves their full instincts of aggression and defense, to the joy of letting go.
To begin to see the light, not enough to have the look clear: it must also be trained, to enjoy the privilege of the merger with the other, is not enough to have a clear conscience and a willingness to spiritual: we must also divest themselves of fear and the instinct of preservation, which would tend to keep us in ourselves, distrustful of anyone who might undermine our hard-won equilibrium.
We could define the human being as a creature that lives, paradoxically, in no man's land between these two conflicting impulses: the thirst for the absolute and the instinct for preservation. The first pushes him further and further up, the second holds him and calls him back, when he pushes forward. The first part derives from the celestial, the second son of his land division, the first essential is to realize his vocation from God, the second is necessary for its preservation in the sphere of the finite.
Man is a traveler on the road, contested by opposing forces, but not the lure of an incomprehensible destiny, or the plaything of capricious gods. Both forces play a worthy role, within their area; evil is that they aim to conflicting objectives, but that man did not know how to read and recognize for their function, avoiding placing them in a context and a perspective that is not theirs.
A human being who is guided solely by the lure of the absolute, would be lost as an individual social and probably would end up drunk as a creature of flesh, like the moth that flew too close to the fire, sooner or later Burning wings. On the other hand, a human being who is guided only by instinct of preservation, would end up living like the brutes, content to meet the basic and wandering the streets of life as a dull hunter pleasure.
Our nobility lies in the thirst for the absolute, but in our present state of existence, we can not prosecute them unconditionally, otherwise we would end up dehumanize them: our humanity, in fact, also the contingencies related to the body, the senses, the beauty the physical dimension. The mystic who does not know more joy than the smile of another human being, the light that lights up in the morning in the mountains, the lushness of a garden in spring, lost his profound humanity in exchange for a claim of autodeificazione unrealistic.
Yes, there is in us a divine spark, but that does not mean that we are ready, here e ora, per diventare delle creature incorporee, fatte di pura luce; né bisogna intendere questa condizione anfibia in senso puramente negativo, come un non poter essere quel che si dovrebbe essere. No, l’uomo è quella creatura che deve armonizzare in se stessa il richiamo delle altezze e la pienezza del poggiare i piedi al suolo, gioiosamente e senza riserve.
Il santo che prova orrore della propria dimensione fisica è un fanatico che ignora la vera natura dell’uomo; l’edonista che insegue continuamente il piacere effimero è una creatura di fango, del pari ignorante quanto al senso della propria vita. La commovente bellezza della nostra condizione è proprio quella di trovarsi sospesa quassù, sul sentiero edge of the razor holding on to the solid side of the mountain on one side, but at the same time, facing such a vast horizons, by cutting off his breath.
This is our fate, that our paramount attraction.
We are called to work in ourselves a supreme alchemical operation: to realize the great or small, what's up with what's below.
Salvatore Veca the philosopher wrote in the book "Issues of life and philosophical conversations" (Milan, Rizzoli, 1991, pp. 132-33)
"Now, life can literally be a dumb or desperate journey into the territories of 'horror, hatred, cruelty and desolation. It can also generate experiences of excellence, dignity, bloom, happiness, love, intense dedication to small and great causes. Difficult to recognize human lives if they did not provide a mixture variable, an unstable chemical compound of true and false values. How can we talk about important things and matters of life were it not so? Similarly, recognizing the lifelong conflict that arises from the dual view is not to accept the outcome of the absurd or that, symmetrically, the euphoria. These results can be noble and heroic as well as vile, stupid and petty. Sometimes, these contrasting characteristics are mixed into a dough by the edges and uncertain tone and form of ambiguous figures.
recognize the contrast can also mean recognizing the more human and more satisfying description of the type of things that happened to be or have become, with all our history and biology. "
The ecstasy of the meeting between man and woman is part of this quest for meaning, in this effort to realize the full promise of human nature and to open up a window of infinity in our finite size, allowing us - so to speak - a little ahead of that other dimension that we experience when we are no longer tied to the physical body.
But so long as there is a link like that, it would be wrong and misleading, as well as impossible, wanting to suppress, deny, cancel. Because we are sons of heaven, but - we must not forget - even the Earth, and ignore our second descent, it would be folly and ingratitude.
abandonment that turns the encounter with each other in a perfect self-offering, it is to yourself the greatest gift: the neglect of instrumental reason and calculative, the newfound freedom of being free flowing, over and above the sting of reason that would claim to understand everything, explain everything and even give a name to everything.
There are things that are not expressible in words, simply because there are not able to describe concepts, and yet if they can experience, let us join hands and lead us along the blazing trails of Being. Sick of rationalism, we are not humble enough to admit a truth so simple after all: that our ability to hear things far exceeds our ability to express them through logic.
Shakespeare was right, then, when he says that there are many things between heaven and earth, that our reason is not even able to dream, and even Nietzsche was right when he added that there are many things that are not yet been said and even think. There is a whole mondo, là fuori, ma anche qui, dentro di noi, del quale la nostra ragione non sospetta neanche l’esistenza; meno ancora potrebbe descriverlo e analizzarlo.
Gli attimi di eternità che si rivelano nell’abbandono del nostro Ego e nella fusione con un altro essere umano, sono una delle esperienze del sublime che la nostra coscienza può realizzare in se stessa, uscendo, al tempo stesso, fuori di sé; così come accade che, in essi, si realizza il paradosso dell’atemporale che si riflette nel temporale.
Non vi sono parole per dire una cosa del genere.
Ci si può solo fare piccoli e silenziosi, per ascoltare.
Il prodigio è questo: che le cose più deep-speak, only when we are able to accommodate them in silence, silence and contemplation.
Then, when you create the conditions for that magical suspension, everything becomes possible also to see the whole universe in a single drop of water ...

of Francesco Lamendola
There is a cultural bias whereby, for a spiritual vision of life, it should display the highest contempt for the body and, more general, the emotional dimension related to the sphere of the sensible.
Far from it.
The spiritual vision of life does not go through a denial of the body and physical sensibility: think of a thing, it means thinking by eunuchs, on the contrary, it passes through the celebration of the body and the full recognition of the sensitivity to cross the physical size and fly toward broader horizons.
Who has never felt a feeling of deep admiration in front of the body, and who never did, not even once in a lifetime, the experience of dissolving in the pure physical joy of ecstasy, is ineligible to understand what really spirituality, because it is not the negation but the full realization of the sublime beauty of el'oltrepassamento physical and emotional dimension.
A man who has never heard dissolve, even once, in the sweetness of the embrace of a woman, to not understand where it ends and where your body begins to her, a woman who has not shown the same experience in the arms of a man, are not full of people: unless they have been able to go directly to the beauty of the Being, which is granted, as a special privilege, to the souls mystical.
In any case, no slanderer of the body has never owned the right tools to fly to the upper regions of the soul, because, without need to disturb the Platonic Eros, it is intuitive that if you can not see the beauty of the body , is not even worthy to appreciate the soul.
In fact, the beauty of the body and the soul are not two different and opposing things: they are two sides of the same coin. It is true, however, that the body does not turn their own light, that its brightness is not self-sufficient, that it always gets its beauty from above, that the soul, and never occurs otherwise.
That said, however, should not think that the body is a kind of divine plan or a failure of existential joke, and, although his real ontological is illusory - as is that of every other body material -, until we live in this dimension, we can not separate or break free from it, but we must, on the contrary, integrating it in the splendor of the soul, do one with it.
So the right question we should be asking is not whether the soul can do without the body, but rather, if we have a soul big enough, bright enough, to embrace the body, transfiguring it, to illuminate, to spiritualize . Or the soul is so small and petty that he will never glorify the body, what care we lavish materials with it, as you would a spoiled child?

Pain in Animals
Giorgia della Rocca
Study Centre on Animal Pain
With the advance of scientific knowledge, it was found that all animals, the octopus birds from reptiles to mammals, have the neuroanatomical and neuropharmacological components necessary for the transduction, transmission and perception of noxious stimuli. Lately pain control in animals from disease has therefore become widely recognized as an essential component of veterinary care. However, research has shown that analgesics are still not widely used in general veterinary practice, mainly because of the difficulty in recognizing the presence of states pain. At present, the diagnosis of pain in animals can be made on the basis of an estimate of the anthropomorphic potential level of pain perceived by the animal and the observation of his behavior.
animals, as well as human patients not compiling it, I can not express in words the presence of pain, but in exactly the same way as men, they perceive it and suffer the consequences. An uncontrolled pain has adverse effects, could result in chronic pain with obvious impact on quality of life of the animal. Knowing how to recognize and treat pain is an essential component of veterinary care.
The IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain) defines pain "an unpleasant sensory and emotional, associated with an actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage."
Having established that human patients not compiling it as babies, small children, people with dementia are capable of feeling pain, the IASP has led to state that "the inability to communicate in any way does not deny the possibility that a Everyone is feeling pain ... This statement may relate to another group of patients without compiling it: the animals.
The experience of pain can be summed up in three components: 1) nociception, which is the activation of specific receptors (nociceptors) that can be activated by noxious stimuli (transduction) and progression of the stimulus along afferent nerve fibers that to convey midollo spinale e poi ai centri soprasegmentali (trasmissione); 2) la processazione e l’interpretazione di tali segnali entranti dalla corteccia cerebrale, che dà luogo alla percezione cosciente del dolore e alle conseguenti risposte emozionali; 3) variazioni comportamentali in risposta al dolore. Con il progredire delle conoscenze scientifiche, è stato appurato che tutti gli animali, dai molluschi agli uccelli, dai rettili ai mammiferi, posseggono le componenti neuroanatomiche e neurofisiologiche necessarie
per la trasduzione, la trasmissione e la percezione degli stimoli nocivi. E’anche stato stabilito che nell’uomo e negli animali nocicettori e fibre nervose sono virtualmente identici. In sostanza, non c’è ombra di dubbio che anche gli animali siano in grado di percepire il dolore a livello cosciente e non solo come stimolo riflesso. Stimoli dolorosi per l’uomo lo sono dunque anche per i nostri animali. [5]
La possibilità di provare dolore è peraltro suffragata dal fatto che, quando possono, gli animali sono istintivamente portati ad assumere composti dotati di azione analgesica. Studi condotti in ratti artritici e sani hanno dimostrato che, potendo scegliere tra
l’abbeverarsi con acqua dolcificata o acqua contenente suprafen, un oppioide, i primi optavano per questa seconda scelta, a differenza di ratti sani che invece preferivano l’acqua zuccherata. Inoltre il grado di auto-medicazione era perfettamente proporzionale alla severità pain. The same was observed in studies with chickens, animals are not exactly renowned for their intelligence, where the amount of food intake medicated with NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) was directly related to the degree of joint pathology. In a study of more avian species, in which NSAIDs were replaced with opioid drugs, the medication was likely to lead to the onset of comas ... [6]
In the last two decades have also been numerous changes to the role of animals in society. The development of strong emotional bonds between humans and their pets has led to greater attention animal welfare, including prevention or treatment of any of the pain. [5]

A hug, a dream
"A hug,
a thrill,
my body holds you
for a moment.
I feel your breath
on me,
hot wind
distant deserts.
fears fade ,
dreams come on,
a smile
fills our hearts
(which will become of us?).
Amid the cold and the wind
is only a moment,
is just the moment when
I love you. "
