la via dell' estasi * the road to ecstacy
"everything is connected"
under the inluence of > ffacile berlin*
From the use of the "bhanga", or better the "bang!", name often associated to the use of psycoactive substances or various intoxication processes, there has always been alternative ways to reach the ecstasy of senses and other bodily phenomena associated with mystical ecstasy. Some are well reported in the 16th and 17th century, especially those that defy the laws of physics. There are numerous accounts of levitation (floating or flying) and bilocation (being in two places at the same time), and these phenomena are often treated as historical fact. This woman seeks to investigate how cultures define the line between the possible and impossible when it comes to nature. How is the "ïmpossible" constructed?
And can the impossible have a construction in its own impossibility?
Is the mystical experience having life by itself and the person just happens to "tune in" ?
It is somehow clear beyond doubt that in the genuine mystical trance the subject loses, wholly or partially, the awareness of the world and experiences a state of lucidity and self-expansion in which the soul apprehends its oneness with God or a Divine Imminence, variously delineated, attended by a rapture which is unique. The artificially induced states resulting from certain passive types of meditation, arrest of breathing, Khechari mudra, repetition of sounds, gazing at bright objects or the tip of the nose, or other methods of self-hypnosis, used by some well-known mystics too, as for instance Boheme, though alike in external symbology, do not betoken genuine ecstasy and often lead to serious error in evaluating the true condition.
Ecstasies, no less than visions and voices must, they declare, be subjected to unsparing criticism before they are recognized as divine: whilst some are undoubtedly 'of God,' others are no less clearly 'of the devil.' 'The great doctors of the mystic life,' says Malaval, 'teach that there are two sorts of rapture, which must be carefully distinguished. The first are produced in persons but little advanced in the Way, and still full of selfhood; either by the force of a heated imagination which vividly apprehends a sensible object, or by the artifice of the devil. These are the raptures which St. Teresa calls, in various parts of her works, Raptures of Feminine Weakness. The other sort of Rapture is, on the contrary, the effect of pure intellectual vision in those who have a great and generous love for God. To generous souls who have utterly renounced themselves, God never fails in these raptures to communicate high things.""Sometimes both kinds of ecstasy, the healthy and the psychopathic," adds Underhill, "are seen in the same person. Thus in the cases of St. Catherine of Genoa and St. Catherine of Siena it would seem that as their health became feebler and the nervous instability always found in persons of genius increased, the ecstasies may become more frequent; but they were not healthy ecstasies, such as those which they experienced in the earlier stages of their careers, and which brought with them an excess of vitality. They were the result of increasing weakness of the body, not of the over-powering strength of the spirit: and there is evidence that Catherine of Genoa, that acute self-critic, was conscious of this. Those who attended on her did not know how to distinguish one state from the other. And hence on coming to, she would sometimes say, 'Why did you let me remain in this quietude, from which I have almost died?'"*

In ORIGIN was the WOMAN
in 3 parts
"god is female and meditates over the lake of wisdom"
"Liberation from male god and reconnection to the matrix of humanity. the source. "
"the holy vagina."
Ancient texts tell of a goddes ruling, matriarchat and the three Goddeses in Arthur's legend escorting him to Avalon *3x1 1x3 is the numeric synonim of god's power, are often hidden in history and educational sYstem.
The obvious rejection of Christianity of paganism and historical proves brings me to the political convintion that women are kept under the siege of male domination.
God is male ! Say the vatican paintings with bearded gay muscled figures. Not only because Michelangelo was gay but because the catholic church is gay male oriented, where the woman is refused in total. * except as mother (priests pedophilia is done to young boys and to not young girls!)
gay lesbian women are often refused or attacked in the male political scene and have to find a way on their own. white males are still dominating counsciously everywhere.
And even if males accept to be sexually dominated by women with dildos is because they can' t live their homosexuality openly. Those women help them to be justified in the eyes of male dominators and can practice then male domination ( same game as male>boring !)
Why the hell one should be sexually dominating is a psycofreak trap.
JE accuse !!!
When proposing a figure like the one above I know I will be called an Hippie by discriminating white/western culture oriented squatters scene. Almost no black people are present in the same scene in Amsterdam when in Italy black people and immigrants are present at all time.
RACISM is inside guys!
In a personal borendom because of racism and fanatism in squat scene I decided return to meditation and oriental fight practice like Aikido and Thai Chi.
The Samurai art is the most anarchist way I have found to reconnect to ancestral power. The sword symbolize not the penis but the cut between logic and the pure not rational intention. The mind/scientific only focused society goes directly to the logic *male and uses it as separation from the animal. The human elevation or "evolution".
But the pure not logical intention is not that. Is not animal, but superhuman.
Control brought society to be what it is.
And we consciously/uncounsciously play this game.
The return of creation black hole, the holy vagina, is a connection to the cosmic source .
In squatter scene, nothing is cosmic but earth reality standardazed.
BORING !!
