God made me a warrior, I found my beautiful soul mate, we were gifted with my two treasures in approval, while in a coma due to TBI for 2 long months, I met with Jesus and all my Catholic upbringing came back, I now have a full conservator, but my family will forever be part of me. NEVER FORGET THAT ALL I SAY HERE IS THE PRODUCT OF MY INJURED BRAIN I WAS ASSESSED SEVERAL TIMES TO BE UNABLE TO MANAGE MY MONEY.
Talk about
being both hypnotized and paralyzed at the same time, in addition my lacrimal
glands started to move the white flag from inside my eyes......goodness
gracious, this movie receives as rating from me to be watch in silence totally
alone with a bottle of scotch and plenty methadone pills, so that at least the
brain can escape out of your skull through the ears!!
I cannot
begin to tell anything about this movie except for the fact that I’ve watched
it – this far – 10 times and I’m still not uninterested at all, so enjoy the
couple of Youtubes I put here, go to the linked websites and walk to the
nearest store that sells DVD movies to buy one copy, I guarantee that
you’ll wear the movie out of the DVD, so make a backup copy of it while still
new so that one full year from now – after having watched it few thousands of
times, you’ll be able to watch it with your best friends.
It
certainly isn’t a movie for young people, in fact my princess won’t watch it, I’ll
simply loan its DVD to her mother with the warning to watch it be herself,
anyway, now watch these Youtubes that are 0.0001% of how hilarious this movie
is and go to the websites I linked that tell how much you’ll laugh watching it.
Given that
I’ve been living alone for years, in-between my deep studies of quantum
sciences, I find myself thinking at my life before my accident that had me lose
all I ever lived and worked for, since I was a teenager. I now want to dedicate this
life summary to my two treasures who are both my reason to still be here and
give to me the strength to keep living, no matter the pain (in and outside).
There are
some moments when I think that one profound truth life is that it’s short and is
meant to be lived with courage, not with fear.
Everyone
has to decide: are your dreams bigger than your memories? Otherwise you stay
stuck in the past (unnatural for me, no matter the great memories of my past
life).
Life is
meant to be lived and lived abundantly. When someone walks around in a cemetery
sees that there are 2 dates on every thumb stone, birthdate and date of death
and every human being is guaranteed those 2 dates, but it’s that little dash
that lies between these two dates that
defines our lives.
So make
your dash count, it’s your own life....do really live it without any fear or hesitancy.
It’s your
own responsibility – not anyone else’s to make that dash in gold like mine was,
is now andis surely going to be.
Let’s live
all together again to ensure having diamonds over the gold. This video
below is about the time when my life was simply perfect and beautiful; I was
living on the East coast, in a great physical shape, working for a very good
Italian shoe company (great salary)
travelling to Italy every couple of months (that’s where my son learned to speak Italian fluently) my wife Michele truly loved me, we used
to go on vacation in the Caribbean every year the entire month of August and we fully owned the home where we were living.
In this
home-made video I’m playing my wonderful Kawai grand piano while my princess
complains of something and rather than yell back at her, I just stop my playing
and put her on my thighs.
Michele,
beloved mother of my 2 treasures and my spouse forever has been telling me that
the reason why I still love her is due to my brain being injured, it matters
not that I say that love isn’t in the brain, love has been portrayed since
centuries as a heart, I believe because when you look at something or someone
you love, your heart beats faster.
Anyway I
become truly upset when I think that the woman I pretty much adored since the
very first time I ever saw her and – beside bringing her to Italy and become
very familiar with it – is now back in the State where she was born – after I
tried for more than a decade to move here with a job – is living with my
treasures completely separated from me and has done many bad things that drove
our son to craziness to the point that he’s now living separated from his
family too, near LA.
I’ve stated
here before that love is the most powerful force in the universe, it gives its
effects after death too; in a way is part of our consciousness that’s part of
our soul too.
If Michele
doesn’t correct this very wrong and very expensive situation, she’s going to
regret not having corrected it when living and this means that her soul will be
forever in her own hell.
I really
cannot understand the reason for her trying to say – and show – that she has no
love feelings for me anymore, when it’s clear (maybe to me only) that they are still all there, she tells me
that she fears me but cannot elaborate this concept and in the meantime I must
live in a luxurious retirement home while she must work to struggle to pay the
rent of the shack where she lives and forces my treasures to survive.
Lately my
angel has been calling me tens of times each day, always making some joke,
impersonating somebody else and suggesting to me to do something both crazy and
impossible for me.
It’s too
clear that she misses her dad whose presence would make her fell much safer and
more comfortable. All I can say is that I hope that Michele won’t wait for my angel’s life
to be totally ruined before understanding the gravity of her mistake.
My own huge
regret is that my “laziness” in getting better has left both my treasures in
the hand of a (fool) woman who lost each and every point of reference in her life as a consequence of my disability status.
In other words
this is my fault again (in my mind) and sadly there’s nothing I can do at this
point.
Too many
should fear the time when the therapy I’ve been asking to at least try will be
approved by the AU FDA at least, it’ll be again the proof that I’ve been
always right, just like in the 50 years before, sadly I cannot shake my
shoulders and say “oh well” all the people who took advantage of me and made it
impossible for me to do what I wanted to do since 2013…..too bad there’s no “oh well” to say, once six feet under, the regret for not having helped someone else
is eternal.
OK, this must be the third or fourth post on the same subject, but it's very hard for me to let it go, it's being talked about more often than not in addition I feel that I shall dedicate this post to both Michele and Iacopo, the first one because she
believes that death is the end of it all and therefore this is what’s going to
be for her, the second because he believes that he’s going to be born again
without any memory whatsoever to ever have lived a life before, curiously however
Iacopo never told me anything about the time between death and rebirth, I mean
is this an instantaneous process that takes place in the complete vacuum of
everything or is there some type of awareness in this process? (please comment here below
Iacopo ).
What I find
it to be beyond interesting (already wrote it here) is not only that most of the quantum scientific/physics discoveries do carbon
copy all that the catholic have known and believed in for about 2K years and
give the scientific (measurable and repeatable) evidence of what most religions on earth have been promising for at
least a couple thousand years, but are now – with my great surprise – realizing
to have named few of the entities – or processes and discoveries – with names
that sound too scientific, therefore confusing people who are interested in
this work.
What I
refer to is the word consciousness that translated in my mother language is “coscienza”
that’s very much used by Catholics when they want to refer to what may happen
to it when you commit a sin, or do something wrong.
Now it turns
out (look
at my well chosen links) that
the word and meaning of consciousness is equivalent to the word we Catholics
call soul, with the only difference that the first one is located in the brain,
while the soul isn’t really in any specific part of our body, it’s simply all the
electrical charges used in/by the body (not by the brain only) while living.
Now, it’s
kind of silly to make this distinction because we already know that all the
electrical charges we use to live (moving, eating, studying etc... etc.… etc...) are generated and come from the brain,
however when the micro-charges that form the soul keep the distribution of the
body they are separating from while consciousness isn’t really visible to the
human eye.
And this is
precisely why the two different descriptions aren’t at all different, in other
words these 2 names are perfectly interchangeable and many experts in this
field know this and explain it in videos like the 2 Youtubes I put here.
The first
being on earth that could separate memories (past) from expectations (future) was
the Homo sapiens who’s been around for circa 2 millions of years, the clip
below of my very beloved movie Lucy shows the depth of science, philosophy and
theology that this movie contains, but today, you best make some time because this post contains few very long Youtubes
that I suggest to fully watch (enjoy), in
fact I’m simply amazed by the number and cultural precision that Youtube videos
offer, to the point that when I want to make sure that I correctly understood
something new, I just make the same google search I just did in Youtube and I
just watch the video explanations (very immediate and simple) of what I just learned.
Without
getting to be too scientific, time in physics is defined by its measurement:
time is what a clock reads. In classical, non-relativistic physics it is a
scalar quantity and, like length, mass, and charge, is usually described as a
fundamental quantity.
According to
Einstein Time is an Illusion, and Here is the Proof. ... Time is actually relative
and flexible and, according to Albert Einstein himself, "the dividing line
between past, present, and future is an illusion". So reality is
ultimately TIMELESS. This sounds pretty bizarre from the view of classical
physics, but from the view of consciousness theory and spirituality, it fits in
perfectly.
Albert
Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of
physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the
speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an
observer travels.
Ultimately
what I love of the time/space theory of Einstein is that time doesn’t exist and
past, present and future all exist in the same space…….any guesses at “when” I’d go if this becomes a real possibility?
(Including the animals
and insects) I did
nevertheless receive few comments about what I had stated in it, that more than
comments sounded very much like this question: If afterlife is as great as you and the quantum people say it is, why
are we all living here? To me it took some time to figure out the right
answer, in fact I initially thought that our fear of death was given to us by
our God creator in order to have us populate our planet earth (1), then I imagined that all the popularity of the
quantum physics research and discoveries about the real existence of afterlife
were more simply what our government was driving to lower both anger and pain
of the families and friends of all the people dying in the Far East fighting
stupid wars (2).
However in
thinking longer and harder PLUS in discussing this with people with bigger
experience and deeper preparation, I learned that fear of death is the more “simple” result of science
and religions
Science teaches
that we don't survive death (a)
Religions teach
that we may face hellfire and eternal punishment (b).
IFI believed either of these erroneous teachings, I’d be afraid to die too.
So, why am I
not afraid at all to die now? Certainly not because I’ll be with Jesus again –
this was just the result of my Catholic education since very young (Iacopo is right, here).
What makes
me actually totally fearless of my own death is the total certainty that there
does exist life after death, that – as I’ve been posting here (maybe too much) – is the simple projection of what’s
in our consciousness, that’s formed by the way we conducted our lives!
OK, so now
the most advanced science in physics (quantum) is telling to us Catholics what we knew already since Jesus Christ
came on earth to tell us not only with words, but with what I’d call factual examples.
So now that
we have the scientific proof that we
humans all have a soul that when we die leaves the body to continue to exist in
some other universe where it’ll experience all that Dante A., the Vatican
Empire and I have been saying for a much shorter time than that of Jesus (2.000 years) we are supposed to be well aware
that we all are simply immortal – even if no memory whatsoever remains in our
minds when we come back to live again.
What I find
borderline hilarious is that my very atheistic friend Iacopo, not only
is the one who first mentioned to me one of the most famous quantum physics questions
– the double slit experiment – that truly had me fall head first in the studies
of this research field, but that him, together with the quantum researches/discoveries
are coming out with principles that we Catholics have known since about 2K
years, aside from placing here the video of the incredible experiment of dr. Schrödinger
with his cat and its stupefying explanation.
When
someone reads about the first “quantum steps” of this science that looks at
everything from a totally different and very minute point of view, arrives to
the work done by dr. David Bohm that in a way finds logical explanations to
very many of the “quantum questions” of his time.
Maybe later
– based on your interest – I’ll continue to post on this subject, however
please do go to the websites linked below, because they truly are complete in
their explanation of the soul, our consciousness and afterlife, maybe later I’ll
try to explain the distinction between mind, consciousness and soul, with the
reference to the best way to conduct our lives (the blink of an eye long).
My, oh
my....talk about trying to review a movie like this, what I want to say is that
I wish to see (again) this movie with my wife/queen hand-in-hand with
her......maybe drinking some Veuve Cliquot champagne, what’s going to get (very little) in the way though is the star (truly a star for me) Natalie Portman, who just bought a $6.5 mil home in the Santa Barbara area, who I’d love to see on State street
to ask for an autograph (on my forehead)
and make my compliments to her incredible (devastating for me) beauty.
This movie
– much to my surprise – is one when you have to figure out where the line is
between a no strings attached relationship and just a casual hookup. ... Having
this kind of relationship means that you are having sex with a woman, but there
is no label of being in a monogamous relationship. It's basically the same
thing as having friends-with-side-benefits (nahhhhh friends like Natalie……),
Anyway this
has been – once again – another opportunity to become familiar with the
American English, who knows……if in my future a “hot” woman will ask me to
become her friend with “no strings attached” I’ll know exactly what she
means…….
What’s
terribly true, however is that the beloved mother of my two treasures won’t
EVER come here to watch it with me…..BUT this actually adds the idea that her
rejection of her loving (ex) husband has
got to be related to the fact that my accident transformed me from a very fit man in my 40ies into a disabled one in my 70ies......... overnight.
Truthfully
I became a totally different person from the one she had married 16 years
earlier and never gave any sign or suspicion to start getting older.
In fact I
was still practicing all the same sports I had practiced for at least 20
years and for some of them I had
acquired better planning abilities than when I was a 20 years old lion and
my techniques had all gotten much better too, together with what I was using when
doing many of my sports i.e. the bicycle I was riding when I was run over weighed less than half of any of my previous ones, not to mention the metal
used to build it that had changed from steel to titanium, but this is just a
very basic example of the progress made in the “instruments” used when practicing any
and all the sports I was passionate in doing and don't let me start with running, scuba diving and swimming...... I could write 6 books about them.
I’m
certainly not a genius but maybe I finally figured out the reason that had me
get into such a horrible punishment of pains and losses.
I had imagined
the following several reasons for having left in NH a sure presidential
appointment in the company I had been working at for 3 years doing – as always
and usual for me - a very good job with various levels of responsibilities and I’m
going to list these reasons here not in order of importance:
·Bring
back to California, in a beautiful town/location for my Queen (who was born not far from here)
·Bring
my two treasure in a very civilized location where both the social level and education are truly not comparable with what was available in the middle of the Appalachian Trail, 2.5 hours driving distance
from Boston (=good schools)
·A wealthy
and upscale place to bring my family to live....(no more elks and bears as neighbors)
However in
thinking very hard, I finally realized that my only real reason for leaving NH behind to go to CA was – for the most – a simple matter of selfish
pride.
Now, given my passion for the Italian writer who fixed my language forever
in history I want to add his perspective on the sin of pride as he wrote of it in his
Divine Comedy.
Pride is
the worst of the capital sins, with the sole exception of sloth, they are
defined by Dante Alighieri as perverse or corrupt versions of love for
something or another: lust, gluttony, and greed are all excessive or disordered
love for good things; sloth is a deficiency of love; wrath, envy, and pride are
perverted love. In my case it’s about the perverted love for me. I
really cannot add much to this concept that represents a true “eye opener” for
me, therefore I invite my readers to go to the websites I link here and to enjoy
the Youtubes, that – as usual – took me some time to choose for this post. In case you are wondering why I got punished this harshly for committing this sin, I invite you to read again and better my posts where I said that we all are our own God (we are made in His image and likeness) and go to the one where I talked about the Italian minister Aldo Moro and his atrocious death.
As you all
know I spend my entire days watching movie on my PC and recently I saw this “Me
before you” movie that I can say (very) shortly it tells the story of a first class athlete from a very wealthy family who,
due to an accident finds himself (practically) disabled like me.
Very
briefly the story is about this guy having legally decided to go for the
assisted suicide, BUT his caregiver (very good looking woman
who never was a caregiver before) convinces him that life is too beautiful to give it up “just
because he’s disabled” and lives out of his memories of his wealthy, athletic world
traveler of the past.
He chooses
to stay alive because of his love for his caregiver, nothing different from my
love I have for my princess daughter who, every minute of every day gives me the
reason to “hang around” no matter my pains and losses. In fact lately we’ve
been speaking in Italian for the two reasons of (1) keep it exercised and (2)
improve her use of its grammar, that's of of paramount complexity.
Every time
she walks her Doberman Greta and before going to sleep, she calls me and my
heart explodes of love for my beauty who represents my main reason not only to
still be alive, but to never think to give it all up too, if I won’t walk her to
the altar on her wedding day, I know I’ll forever be in my pure hell.
Anyway, in
making my usual walk around the internet about this, I learned that plenty are not
only the disabled people who want to end their condition, but that there exist
even disability rights organization that's involved with the rights about assisted
suicide for those they are supposed to protect.
This is
truly a well done and acted movie that gets my 2 bottles of champagne to drink
with your close friends concluded by an educated commenting session before going
to bed.
My
wonderful daughter came to visit me yesterday afternoon and we talked about
what she’s studying now, what she likes to study and why to end up with a talk
about the type of work she’s inspired to have in her future.
Then she
asked me (kind
of out of the blue)
what I’d do if I was the new Trump, or the
president of the USA, I must say that she didn’t like what I replied because
she told me that my thinking is horrible.
I therefore
made a small search to support with real numbers my own thesis:
1.The USA made WWII end with the
nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
2.This is the math:
-Total number of WWII deaths is 70-85
million people
-Total number of people killed with
the atomic bombs thrown over Hiroshima and Nagasaki was approximately 230.000
people (or
about 3% of the total number of casualties of WWII to date) , but this number doesn’t count
all the radiations victims who kept dying for decades after the bombing, this “low
number” might be increased up to tenfold.
Having the USA end WWII made our economy, industrial capacities and
economic influence across the globe a superiority that gave to the USA a
worldwide predominance for about 60 years going forward, every country in EU
looked up to the USA as the example for “the right way (every)things need to be
done”.
So, if I was in the place where president Trump
is today I’d be throwing a couple of atomic bombs right where the terrorists
train and live with their families – of course making sure that the radiations
are well contained and cannot spread outside the target areas.
This with the idea that since – again – it’ll be the USA that ends the “terrorists
world war” against EU + USA or all the industrialized/comfortable countries of
the world, it’ll be the USA that will return to enjoy the supremacy in all
fields all over the world.
Now, I ask to my readers WHO AGREE WITH MY “ATOMIC
SOLUTION” to please make a small donation using the Paypal tool here
while the ones WHO DISAGREE just message me or
comment below this post, it’ll be very easy for me to know where I stand with this
idea.
If there
would exist any sure way to say that I’m unable to logically process my
thinking and therefore end up wasting my wealth is that my love for my Queen is
the result of my brain being injured, that’s what my Queen has been telling me
for many years, in fact to have the undeniable proof of this – aside the demented
neuropsy. assessments, it’d be sufficient to see what I basically did yesterday in my
latest post, in fact as I was listing the first letters of the eternally damned
people who surely are going to condemn themselves to what I’ve described
already what hell truly is.
I did in
fact erased her initials - as single woman - because too close to those of my current conservator –
which in fact explains very well the reason why I felt it necessary to add few
letters to the initials.
What forced
me to do so is that I was watching an unrelated movie to the clip of the
Youtube I put here, in fact how could I dismiss my life-Queen as
someone who will forever regret not taking care of me and my 2 treasures in the only time in my life when I need help when she truly
completes me?
Our lives
used to be more than wonderful, like heaven on earth, but something totally
generated by me, trashed 15 years of heaven lived together and tossed it down the
crapper.
Of course –
given my brain injury, go to look at the websites I linked below, they all talk
about the devastation that TBI brings to families and couples without any
distinction, not even for the couples – like we used to be – who already were
living in heaven.
The other
concept I want to describe is that since my Queen believes that after death
there exists nothing , “you die and that’s it” I’m not 100% sure yet,
but I believe that those who are convinced of it, truly die and won’t ever
experience afterlife, the one thing I’ve been unable to clarify to myself is the idea
that if for the souls who truly die (non-believers) there may exist any self-awareness of it.
And if this
is the case I can say – for direct experience – that that’s true hell.
I don’t
know if when I’ll die and my intelligence will become universal, I’ll realize
that my love (most
powerful force in this universe) for her will be able to “rescue” her to be forever together again, even if she's been trashing my life and that of both my treasures, wasted the wealth of my Italian family and cheated on me with some piece of trash.....all of this only for genetic reasons, so I'll see.
I’m really
hoping that my readers have watched the video at the bottom of my last post: “Quantum Theory shows that consciousness moves into
another universe after Death” and what I want to say today is that St.
Francis of Assisi, me, Iacopo and Mr. Lanza share the same
feeling/approach to
death, that since we know for sure that our earthly existence is just
like a “blip of time” in the eternal
existence of our souls, which makes me ask questions of deep importance to me,
because I still have no answer at all for any of them, like i.e. in the
beginning of time there were at most few thousands of humans on earth, where
have the billions we are today come from, if nobody ever really dies? Than –
related to this is the next, or that there must be the way to create new
individuals/souls and attached to this why is the Vatican baptizing every
newborn if they were already baptized in their previous life, does baptism have
an expiration date? BUT the most important of all is the one about giving birth
to a “brand new” individual/soul, what are the signs? Can anyone tell if their
baby is someone who never ever existed before?? I’m sure that theologians and
priests can only smile at these questions, but if you know their answers you
are cordially invited to post them here or message me, using the tool on the
right.
Anyway I
remain shocked by the terror and deep fear we humans have of “sister death” I
understand that it used to be needed to have in order to populate our planet,
BUT what about now that our natural resources, agricultural skills and cattle management
have reached the top of our abilities?
Please
don’t say that this is the reason why we have tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes
eruptions and other things of that nature…….
This would
be so stupid that even a dumb ass like me (unable to produce a neuropsychological assessment 3
times in a row)
refuses to consider any of them.
Maybe this
is the very reason why St. Francis is a Saint, he had death as sister, but hey,
how many saints are we going to have today? I can already count by myself at
least a dozen – without considering the plenty quantum physicists around….
Let’s talk
a little about the absence of fear of death, because I see that while mine is
very primitive that of the others I just named is much deeper, scientific and
carries very important differences, so let me try to make this list:
·Saint Francis was all based on his very profound Catholic religion that gave him
absolutely no doubt that he had a soul
for real that after his death would join afterlife where he would meet not only
Jesus Christ and his mother, but plenty other people he knew and met while
living.
·Iacopo is convinced that the day everyone will understand that the way we live
our lives will cause any war and criminal act disappear overnight…and this from an atheist who doesn’t believe in the
existence of the soul……..
·Robert Lanza, much like the quantum physicists base their beliefs in this field in
rigorous scientific studies with experimentations
·Me, dumb ass Carlo imprisoned by conservatorship that bases the
personal very solid belief in the idea of having met with Jesus Christ
and made an agreement with Him during the 2 months long coma.
Now, I realize that my links aren’t of the
usual number, but I do invite you to spend little time watching both the
Youtube I put below and that of my previous post both really very well
made.
I’m hoping that my readers know of my belief
that each of us is his own God, therefore – as my own God – allow me to predict
(from
my dumb ass point of view) without naming names those who shall best do something to
correct their wrongs while living here on Earth (too bad nothing can be done from a coffin) I’m simply going to put the
initials of those who best repair their wrong-doings while alive…. you’ll
understand who you are, but nobody else!
Here we go:
·T.Ns.
·M.Wt.
·E.Ld.
·J.Fm. ·B.
Only 5 people?? If I can think longer, I may
come up with someone else, however please consider this my gift to you…..there’s
still time to fix your wrongs before you’ll die (like everyone in the entire world).
As I study
the creation of Biocentrism from R. Lanza (the one I mentioned in my 9/27 post about the I.Q.
movie) what comes
to my mind is something I heard being said in a totally different movie or, “we are the ones who created God, He didn’t create us”
that to me is a good way to describe his biocentrism, or that all we see
measure and study since ever is a creation of our consciousness, including the
entire universe (and
now the parallel ones too) that to me it goes all back to the simple question asked to kids
attending the elementary school, or “what came
first, the egg or the chicken?”.
In a way
this seems to me what Mr. Lanza is doing, he’s telling the answer to that
question for young kids, or that all we see, experience, study and measure is
just the product of our consciousness and here I must force myself not to think
what I used to believe for a very long time, or that the consciousness is
another name for imagination, what I’ve done
in fact is very scary, I replaced the word consciousness with the word
imagination and I realized not only that they both are perfectly replaceable
but that the entire quantum physics and biocentrism go in the toilet, meaning
that they make no sense anymore.
However this
Mr. Lanza and his Biocentrism are very popular today, you can find videos and
articles about this man and his theory pretty much everywhere you go in the
Internet and in magazines with very high circulation (i.e. the TIMES).
My belief
is that this theory addresses the idea of death and what’s after it, much to my
surprise in fact both biocentrism and quantum physics talk about something (death and resurrection) that we Catholics have known and
believed in for just
2.000 years. BUT to me both the quantum physics and the biocentrism simply
describe the immense powers (still mainly unknown) of the organ we all have between our 2 ears = the brain, that some say is the most
powerful entity of this universe and I say: “I bet, it’s our brain that creates
it!”
Since mine
is injured though, I can only be depressed by the fact that I'm the only one to believe in the way (P. E. therapy) that makes it possible for the brain to repair itself (much like when the skin is cut) that isn’t FDA approved yet and surely won’t be for several years after I’ll be dead.
Talk about
our brain being able to make miracles, with mine being injured and everyone
around me profiting from my disability, this miracle simply will never happen.
Terrone is the
term used by Italians to refer to people who live from Rome down in the country
or in the regions of Campania, Puglia (and worst of all Sicily). What’s hugely
different though is a terrone isn’t someone of a different color, way less possibility
of better/higher education and opportunities to find a well paid job are
available to people living in regions in the south of the country, as a result there’s
been a true migration of “terroni” to the north of the country, primarily
because of the presence of real jobs in the “industrialized” part of the
country.
Keep in
mind that a “terrone” looks identical to someone who lives in the north of the
country, the language only sounds little different due to the particular accent
– like someone from New York sounds different from a Texan - but “terroni” look identical to any other
Italian citizen no matter where they are from. So for some time, when my living
in the USA was still fresh, I had thought that black people are like the
Italian “terroni”, BUT now that I’ve become a
citizen and have been living here in the USA for more than 15 years I realize
that black people aren’t like “terroni” at all, they are 100% American, even if
the whites really treat black people like they were “terroni”, in fact the
access to well-paid jobs and higher education remain forbidden to back people
only for the color of the skin, as a result black people end up living in what
whites call ghettos, have much less opportunities of a well-paid job and their
access to better or higher education is pretty much impossible.
I can in
fact say with confidence – after having lived in CA for few years – that the “terroni”
here are the people from Mexico, who share identical conditions to the ones in
Italy (i.e.
low-paid jobs, no access to good education, treatments from the “people from the
north” = San Diego and above, like they belong to some type of inferior race –
or like they too are black) same applies for Floridians too, who treat and consider as “terroni” all the
people from islands of the Caribbean’s.
This was my
mindset when I watched this movie named CHI-RAQ, initially because the title
itself was somewhat mysterious to me, but as I was watching it, I realized to have
tears in my eyes and I couldn’t stop watching it until the last name of the
closing credits was on the screen.
Boy! Am I
glad to be a white here, it seems like the times of slavery haven’t changed, and
they just became more modern and sophisticated.
I give to
this movie a pack of scotch to drink while watching it with family and best
friends, to have the perfect conditions to discuss the its message, if anyone
thinks that we are in 2017 and these are still the conditions of complete
inferiority we make our brothers of black skin live in, we must realize that it
shouldn’t be any wonder if black people are so angry and would prefer brake it
all up rather than living in it.
As I read (maybe too much) about quantum physics theories and
their belief in the power of our consciousness – given my Catholic upbringing
and education I started to wonder if maybe consciousness is what us Catholics
have been calling the soul since 2 thousands years.
Therefore –
as typical for someone like me who never has anything to do – I ran a small
google search to see if anywhere else in the internet universe, may exists a
place where these two concepts/ideas are used interchangeably and if there’s
any place that explains the reason why they refer to the same idea.
So please –
rather than jump through my links to consistent websites always posted
here at the bottom – give a look at what
I link, because – aside it being very consistent and to the point – they somehow
argue the point of this post.
I must
say/admit that it’s been some kind of a surprise for me to see how much of a
debate this has been for many years and how many important thinkers of the past
did argue this point, as I was researching this very topic I realized that the
term mind is both misused or used with a different meaning.
But for
this maybe I’ll make a new post (never having anything better to do).
Anyway,
enjoy this Youtube with someone important giving a somehow complex explanation
of very current concepts AND go look at the linked websites simply because
they can help to have a clearer idea of the meaning of the two terms on subject.
