Scardinare il sistema tecnogeno

Image by Web3Lab

“Everything that is really great and inspiring

is created by the individual

who can labor in freedom.”
Albert Einstein

Il sistema tecnogeno escogita strumenti subdoli per controllare la nostra mente ed inconsciamente, l'umanità accetta di buon grado le false panacee offerte dalla modernità. Lo scopo primario consiste nel sopprimere la nostra capacità critica per soggiogarci e mantenerci in uno 'stato vegetativo' di cui non ci rendiamo neanche conto. Il sistema ci toglie la libertà di essere, ma ci 'coccola' e ci culla dolcemente per assicurarsi che nessuno esca dallo stato di semicoscienza in cui ci hanno indotto. L'obiettivo che dovremmo prefiggerci dunque, in quanto esseri senzienti, è capire i meccanismi che si celano dietro questo malvagio artificio, per usarli a nostro favore e liberarci dalla gabbia dorata nella quale ci siamo auto-rinchiusi inconsapevolmente. D'altronde è difficile estraniarsi da un sistema che ha abilmente plasmato il nostro pensiero fin dall'infanzia: hanno tentato (con grandi risultati) di appiattire le peculiarità di ogni individuo, di levigare le differenze, di omologare il pensiero e standardizzare le nostre vite, con lo scopo di controllarci e sopprimere il nostro spirito creativo per evitare di destabilizzare l'equilibrio precario della matrix. In questo scenario ironicamente onirico, la consapevolezza rappresenta il primo passo verso la libertà e, con questo libro, Vadim Zeland ci accompagna attraverso il viaggio di riscoperta della nostra individualità ed unicità.

#82 Aphorism of the week: Advice

Advice is like kissing.

It costs nothing and

it's a pleasant thing to do.

Misleading Honzon

Image by Shankara

Money is your 'gohonzon'

yours is just a run towards the oblivion

hide your frustration behind a 36 teeth smile 

u are fallin' down in a putrid pool

keep dancing on a crackin' up floor

out of tune is your mind

how in tune can be your thoughts?

lie down under society footsteps

stay there until global rebirth

I'm lendin' u a hand

u prefer to clap ur hands

for the show of life

to show 'em u are alive.

live constantly in a Hell mood

intermingled with Ecstasy breaks

they make u say

yea I'm ok

be honest your life sucks

years passed to build your own castle

moments to see it's a heap of sparkling dust.

Argiltubo by Argital

Let me introduce you this big boy who strongly got an essential role in my skincare routine. I've never looked for it, it just came to me, like real love :D 
I was given this as a present when I placed an order on IlGiardinoDeiLibri, otherwise I wouldn't probably ever purchased it since it has never called my attention. 

#80 Aphorism of the week: Sorrow

Without anxiety and illness,

I should have been like a ship

without the rudder.

AAA: Desperately looking for Real People

Photo by Bob'sLifeSongs

Is out there still someone ALIVE? Somebody who is still able to think, breath and feel... This is not about a potential apocalypse, this is reality. We are zombies, but we don't know it, happily ignore it. We have been perfectly programmed before our birth and during our entire life, to follow patterns and lines.

We've been literally bombarded, assaulted by external stimuli which have been distracting us from ourselves, our being perfectly unique. 
Is there still something under those designer clothes, that perfectly groomed look and self-tanned skin? Can you still hear that sound coming from inside? Turn off your phone, notebook, tablet, radio, TV... and JUST LISTEN, JUST BE. 
Being fake is all you've learnt and think it's the proper way. Peculiarity has been banished from schools and workplaces in favor of the awkward homolagated being. 
Is there still someone who believes we need huge changes in our thought line? 
Is there still something behind that eagerness of money and success? 

Is there still compassion for our fellows and our nature of close-knit team players? 

Where has been hiding your soul all this time? Open your channels, 

be authentic, true and honest to yourself. 
Think more and talk less. You gotta let yourself go, run free of constraints and limitations imposed by someone who doesn't care about you. Enjoy your life and respect others' one, speak your mind and listen to others', stare at the beauty you are surrounded by and just be thankful for still being able to have feelings. 

Just answer to this simple question: if you lost everything you HAVE, what would it be of WHO you ARE? 

Just Be yourself, wild and free! 

Helichrysum Italicum: the Flower of Immortality

Immortelle (the French name of this flower) is a recent discover I made. It is a golden plant which grows in rocky or sandy areas in the Mediterranean zone and has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for cosmetic issues and reliefing pain. I've made its acquaintance by getting a bottle of 'Immortelle' water, chosen for its calming and soothing effects on the skin.
