The one of Buddha, according to me, was a dynamic and evolutive illumination. From radicalism to reasonableness, from reasonableness (in the middle between the extremes) to Compassion. The perfect contrary of Augustine iter: from radicalism to radicalism.
The definition of person by St Thomas is wonderful: “living body, animated and spiritual”.
Ricoeur: “…personality is always in crisis; always, that is in every moment…”. The carthusian: authentic personality always fights against the non-authentic.
Virgilio Melchiorre: “and always the commitment is a criterion that highlights transcendence…”.
For the Greeks the sacred image is called Àgalma. According to Fulvio Carmagnola Àgalma is “an emergency of reality through imagination” and together “a resistance to reality through imagination”.
“Noble son, relax and consider.
Your visions are simply suggestive.
Illusion the demons,
Illusion the Death, their queen.
Do not linger over the sensual light of gods.
Be the lord of your terror and ecstasy.
Go and point at the bard of reproductive Eros.
Choose the couple through which you will be born again
And bring Compassion to the world”.
This, in essence, the highest philosophy of the Tibetan Book of the dead, crooned by monks near the dead body, that will be exposed on the mountain as a gift to predatory birds, winged symbol of the sky.
The Tibetan Book of the dead is a much spiritual hymn to life, to rebirth. The dead one has to cross more bards, more steps in the afterworld. The first bard is theatre of demons, manifestations of good gods. But the dead one does not know it and risks the terror, with terror to escape in the nothingness.
The most lethal meeting is with the monster of Death.
After the first two infernal hallucinations of the spirit, the meeting with the gods and their erotic effusions. The dead one now risks to the ecstasy. It has to recover and point at the bard of reproductive Eros, where human couples, no longer divine, couple.

Beyond any illusions. Beyond divine Eros.

the prophet’s mother loved fashion very much. Today she could have been Ruslana Korshunova.
Biblical scandal is a lace, trap for animals.
Jesus says: if your faith were small like a grain of mustard seed…It is interesting: there are two kinds of mustard, sweet and strong. At the time of Jesus strong mustard was very used. Its seeds were considered very effective to heal some animals from paralysis. Hence the image of Jesus: a grain of mustard is enough.
Augustine, father of the church, step-father of human kind.
…distrust the flags
they are nice and ferocious
they spread the colors of flowers
but ask for blood…
…Watching over a rose
trembling I heard the cicadae cry
summer showed the dark genius of vandals
but afghan children will not go to Paradise
they will wander as free shadows on the alabaster face of their mothers…
Mario Lucrezio Reali
