L’acqua è pioggia. L’acqua in bottiglia è marketing.
Ad ogni pubblicità di acqua minerale dovrebbe seguire un invito a bere l’acqua del rubinetto. Pubblicità del buon senso. Se qualche ministero è interessato mi offro gratis.
Imbottigliare la pioggia in un contenitore con un’etichetta e venderla con un lavaggio del cervello. E’ quello che fanno le multinazionali, le concessionarie. Compri in bottiglia quello che esce dal rubinetto di casa.
Un prete mi avverte che Formigoni vuol privatizzare l’acqua in Lombardia. Il pio Roberto non potrebbe farlo, l’acqua è un bene di Dio. Ma lo farà, lo psiconano e la Moratti intercederanno con l’Opus Dei. Formigoni vuole occuparsi anche delle chiese lombarde. Rilevare i sacramenti dandoli in concessione a Comunione e Liberazione. Una confessione 2 euro, abbonamento mensile 10 euro. Sconto del 30% se il confessore è don Gelmini.

L`acqua: Bene comune e universale!

“Perché spendere parole e parole per provare che l`acqua è un bene comune e universale, un diritto fondamentale? È proprio necessario? Se così fosse, poveri noi! Altro che parlare di civiltà! Vorrebbe dire che abbiamo perso ogni concetto di diritto, se è vero che i primi diritti sono quelli che fanno parte costituzionalmente sia dell`essere umano che dell`universo. È come se, parlando a un mondo che si ritiene civile, dovessi dimostrare che esistono i diritti alla libertà, alla giustizia, alla pace. Altra cosa è sapere esattamente in che cosa consistano tali diritti, e come saperli applicare nel concreto. Anche qui starei attento a parlare oggi di civiltà, quando assistiamo a tale perversione a danno della libertà, della giustizia e della pace che un dubbio mi viene: non è che le civiltà antiche - ad esempio, quelle babilonesi, assire, egiziane, greche e romane - non siano state di gran lunga superiori alla nostra? A quei tempi, tra le concezioni che si avevano di giustizia, di libertà e di pace non c`era quel divario che c`è oggi. Oggi, non si parla d`altro che di giustizia sociale, di libertà religiosa e politica, di pace universale, e nello stesso tempo mai come oggi si fanno guerre mondiali, mai come oggi assistiamo ad una sperequazione sociale disumana e cosmica, mai come oggi la libertà è fortemente messa a rischio da condizionamenti di mercato che gridano vendetta al cospetto di ogni diritto dell`Uomo.
Un tempo i beni naturali erano di proprietà dell`universo. Erano visti come beni esclusivi della divinità, che li rimetteva al servizio dell`uomo. L`acqua era un dono di Dio, e tale rimaneva. Oggi non si fa altro che appropriarsi di ogni dono di Dio, e così, ad esempio l`acqua, diventa una merce.
Se l`acqua è un bene comune e universale, non solo non posso appropriarmene per farne una fonte di profitto, ma la società - tanto più se si riconosce civile - ha l`obbligo di dare a tutti, indistintamente, la possibilità di farne uso. Col minor costo possibile.
Ed ecco che la nostra Regione Lombardia, governata da un cultore del dio mercato, il cattolicissimo Roberto Formigoni, sta imponendo la peggiore e disumana legge sull`acqua, cercando di privatizzarla, togliendola perfino dalle mani di Dio: l`acqua è diventata di proprietà delle divinità, ovvero delle multinazionali di cui si serve la Destra politica per sfruttare il mondo. Giù le mani dall`acqua! Sindaci Lombardi, ribellatevi al cultore del dio denaro e alle sue oscene politiche che stanno rovinando l`Ambiente e ogni altro diritto sacrosanto dell`Uomo. Unitevi e coinvolgete i vostri paesi, almeno quella parte sana che è rimasta, quella che crede ancora nella possibilità di dare un radicale cambiamento a questa povera società, governata da cultori di una religione "atea"! Perché non ridare alle feste di partito quel volto socio-culturale e politico di un tempo, quando si discuteva, tra una salamella e l`altra, di cose serie? Il problema dell`acqua è una cosa serissima, da affrontare con franchezza e caparbietà. Non c`è tempo da perdere! Sgretolate le porcate di leggi che sta facendo la Regione Lombardia, in nome del dio denaro, a danno dell`Uomo e dell`Ambiente!”.

Madelief

Stille aardbevingstrillingen
Innerlijke fraaie vibraties
Om de eerste madeliefblaadjes

Waait in de zon een wind
met spiraalachtige emoties
Opborrelend uit de grond.

Warme wangen
weerspiegelen de trillingen
op de binnenste gele rond
van de bloem
zo'n liefdesorakel

Sterrenbeelden die kruisen
Zwetende rust
trots op een rots
omhelst
zachte troost opeens
stille hoofden op een kussen van gras
dat biedt respijt van de juichende
passie die tussen bonzende borsten botste.

Delicaat geur van de eerste liefde

Verre vrolijke verlegen verleden

En nu een verse schok
van lentekriebels
kietelende gedachten
tussen
gevlochte handjes

Om lachend
de vrede te ademen.

Een wolk van zoutigheid met zoenende
tienerstongen
smeltende aardbeien
naakte dijen en dunne haartjes
speerpuntige sterrenhemels
van helder verlangen.

HEMP: the Perfect POWER PLANT!

Hemp is too perfect, providing humankind with such of a viable alternative to petrochemical resources, that people in power for the last 80 years and with interests in the oil, cotton and paper (from trees) industries, had to demonize the plant in order to impose their environmentally-unfriendly businesses, until when people had forgotten how amazing it was and how many things used to be made from it. Then they made it illegal.

Hemp, a marketable wonder plant

Hemp was cultivated in China more than 6,000 years ago, from a wild plant that grew in central Asia. The Chinese recognized hemp's amazing nutritional value, and used it as a food source long before soy foods. Unlike soy, hemp is not genetically modified, and it doesn't contain the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.

About a thousand years ago, hemp was brought to Europe, where peasants used it in several ways, one of the most popular being the making of hemp butter by grinding the nutricious, tasty seeds.

Hemp is one of the purest, most complete plants on Earth. Its uses are many and varied; the nutritional and healing properties of Hemp seed and its oil are of particular value to humans.

Hemp grows almost anywhere and requires no pesticides or fertiliser. It is even beneficial both for the soil and the atmosphere.

Hemp also makes an excellent source of textile and paper. The fibres are long and very strong, making the most beautiful fabric and paper. Many of the world's most famous historical works are written on hemp paper: the American Declaration of Independence 200 years ago was signed on paper made from hemp.

Hemp powers empires

The British Empire was built on hemp. The ships used hemp, from the sails to the ropes down to the sailor's uniforms. At one point Britain and France went to war over protecting the Russian hemp supplies, as the Russian hemp made the strongest sails and ropes. Italian hemp was also very valued for its quality.

Clothing can be obtained from hemp using minimal pesticides (unlike cotton which has half of the world's pesticides sprayed on it).

The potential for Hemp is enormous: it can be be turned into thousands of products and is a renewable source of bio-mass (power) and bio-diesel (fuel). Hemp fuel works very efficiently, as the diesel engine was originally designed to run on vegetable fuel; Henry Ford built a hemp-fuelled car, using hemp as a material.

This amazingly versatile plant is a great non-toxic biodegradable source for the manufacture of plastics; from its oil, the highest quality paints can be obtained without the toxic smells and by-products. It is one of the most suited ingredients for cosmetic products.

Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on Earth.

In a nutshell, hemp can just provide you with everything you might need to live a very long healthy life while returning the planet to a garden rather then a toxic waste dump.

Hemp Seeds: a Nutritional Powerhouse

Shelled hempseed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E (three times the vitamin E contained in flax), as well as omega-3 and GLA. Hempseed is just too good!

A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein contains the highest percentage (66 percent ) of high-quality edistin protein than any other any plant source.

It boosts the immune system, decreasing the need for doctors and pharmaceuticals; it provides with the daily protein requirement, making a healthier substitute for meat or a perfect protein supplement in a form that is easily digested and absorbed by the body.

Although fish oils are another source of EFA's, there are concerns about the high level of toxicity in fish oils. A preferable source therefore maybe organic seeds and nuts.

1. Rich in Essential Fatty Acids Omega 3 and Omega 6

Whole hemp seeds make great hemp seed milk, but can also be sprouted, or ground and used in flour recipes. Their full amino-acid spectrum gives complete vegetable protein, whilst retaining the trace mineral content too. Because the human body produces no Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), it is important that EFAs be consumed on a regular basis. EFAs are the "good fats" that doctors recommend as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Many people take in too little of one of the most important EFAs--omega-3--which is found in flax, walnuts, deep-water fish, and hempseeds. A lack of EFA's has been associated with learning difficulties and behavioural problems with children.

0. Meanwhile, our brains are 60% fat! And over one third are EFA's. The quality of fats is imperative for proper brain function.

1. EFA's benefit human health in two essential ways, especially for the cells and the brain. EFA's help repair cell damage as they are part of the cell membrane; they also help keep the cells fluid, whilst improving the energy flow between cells, as well as the nutrient absorption and detox function.

A balance between omega 3 and omega 6 intake is very important, because an excess of omega 6 can have detrimental effects. EFA expert Udo Erasmus considers hemp seed to have the ideal ratio of Omega 3 and 6 for human health. No other plant contains the essential oils in a ratio exactly suited to the bodies needs.

Hulled hemp seed, also known as hemp hearts and hemp nut, is the whole seed with the crunchy outer shell removed.

Hulled seed is not more nutritious then its whole grain counterpart. The main detriment, compared to the nutricious whole seed, is that you lose the hull, a rare source of insoluble fibre. This gently cleanses the colon and flushes toxins from the intestinal tract. It is often not found in our diets because of over processing of foods.

Whole hemp seed is also an excellent source of minerals and is much more stable out in the air then hulled seed.

Oil on salads, and hempseed everywhere!

Oil has a mild nutty flavour and is ideal for salad dressings. It is delicious on salads, pasta, side dishes and desserts. Due to its high Essential Fatty Acid profile, hemp oil should not be heated as this will destroy the EFA's. However, organic hemp oil can be added to all foods once removed from direct heat to improve both the flavour and nutritional content.

EXTRA EASY Recipy for Hemp Seed Milk

You can benefit from the full nutritional impact of the hemp seed by following this simple recipe:

• Take some organic fresh hemp seed and soak for 24 hours in distilled water with a few organic almonds.

• Drain, rinse and blend in a blender with a little distilled water.

• Strain through a cloth or sieve.

This milk will then be ready to drink and should be consumed immediately, although it will keep for 48 hours refrigerated. This milk will combine well with all fruits and vegetables. Instead of almonds, you can add some syrup or honey to taste.

The quality of omega-3 can be diminished by oxygen, heat, and light. Thus consume the freshest seeds possible and store them in a dark, cold environment such as a refrigerator.

SNAKES OF SHAMANIC WISDOM - DMT & DNA LADDERS TO HEAVEN

The origins of psychedelic knowledge may be of an organic nature?

When anthropologists started their studies of indigenous cultures, shamans were regarded as socially accepted psychopats, “mentally ill” in a community of primitives or inferior societies, denying any value to their divinatory practices or ceremonial plants use. Their visions where considered to be signs of mental imbalance. Likely, many psychoactive substances were considered as having the effect of simulating, or engendering, a state comparable to schizophrenia.In more recent years, Western science has been exploring the potential of traditional plant use, especially in order to develop medicines and patent the healing substances, or their synthetic equivalent compounds.

Native tribes from Central and South America possess an oral tradition of incredible value, knowing all local plants and their effects and passing them between generations throughout the centuries. They live in regions that hold a record for biodiversity, with countless species available. How they know so much about the healing properties and administration methods of each plant, seemed to be a mystery.

Luckily, some researchers recently studied native cultures and plants usage in newer ways, making stunning links to scientific facts of the Western medical tradition. One of them is anthropologists Jeremy Narby, who used an intriguing approach to the study of ayahuasca rituals among Central and South American indians.

In Narby's book, “The Cosmic Serpent – DNA and the Origins of Knowledge”, we learn about the parallelism between the fluorescent snake visions, and the structure of life itself, the DNA molecule. This latter shows - interestingly enough - a serpent-like, double helix structure.... and is present in each living being on this planet. Supposedly, DMT (the main active ingredient in ayahuasca, and a substance endogenously produced by our very brains) or the combination of DMT with other ingredients in Ayahasca, allow to experience reality at a biomolecular level.

To fully understand the meaning and reasoning behind Narby's theories, reading his book is highly adviseable, as he goes quite deep into describing the underlying mechanisms of DNA synthesis and duplication, its relation to receptors and how they are similarly activated by substances such as DMT, LSD, tobacco and serotonin. Another, shorter illuminating exploration into the origins of hallucinations, biology and spirituality can be read on the Jen Writtens blog.

To gain a vision that was not cornered into the tight boundaries of academical dogma, Narby also performed an act of defocalisation. He tried to literally interpret the teachings gathered during his stays among Peruvian indians, by studying both the indigenous traditions and biochemical science, without remaining bound to, or focussed on, either.

Following exhaustive research and on-field interviews, Narby found a parallelism between ayahuasca visions and the biomolecular structure of the cells in the human body. A vision described by most ayahuasca consumers is that of fluorescent snakes. The ayahusca snakes are so typical of the experience, that they are commonly found on indigenous paintings and decorations.

In his book, Jeremy Narby describes how DNA sequences resemble an intelligent language, forming snake-like helixes, activated by psycho-activating molecules that fit into specific receptors, upon which an electromagnetic wave is “lit up”, causing the activation of different genes within the cell nucleus.

In ayahuasquero's visions, the “snakes” bring messages explaining secrets related to one's life, personal or social history and natural environment. The psychoactive drink is always associated with greater knowledge and understanding. It gives teachings and clarity of vision, shedding “light” on the dark corners of the soul.

DNA not only determines the whole structure and regulates the production of all “building blocks” of a cell, but is also capable of communicating in a network of other cells.

Information is read and transformed into messenger-RNA, which feed into ribosomes that translate the instructions and build the rest of the cell's proteins and enzimes according to the genetic message. Apparently, the global network of DNA-based life emits ultra weak radio waves, that we can perceive during states of defocalisation (e.g. hallucinations and dreams)… Because of the shape of the aperiodical crystal of DNA, resembling two entwined serpents, a cord, a twisted ladder or a vine, the human mind perceives vines, ropes, ladders, crystals and fluorescent snakes. Well, DNA is the greatest transformer, so visions can also feature jaguars or caymans or bulls… but the huge snakes remain the favourite image of DNA, as if this was a narcissistic being, obsessed with its own reproduction, even in “pictures”.

Indeed, according to the native people who use ayahuasca, the experience resembles a TV or radio show: once you “open the channel”, images and messages arrive as a flow of great vitality... shamans are capable communicating at a molecular level, tapping knowledge from the source of all life forms, DNA. One shaman, Carlos Perez Shuma once told Narby that the spirits were like “radio waves”: “Once you turn on the radio, you can pick them up.” By using ayahasca and tobacco, people can see and hear them.

While doing background research on the mysteries behind ayahuasca snakes, the author came across the scientific fact that DNA actually emits photons at a wavelengh that lies exactly within the narrow band of visible light!

According to science, about 97% of our DNA is made up by “junk” sequences that are not a code for the make up of proteins. At a closer look, these “useless” sequences present series of palyndromes (“words” that can be read in either left-right direction; in this case, aminoacids are the letters in which DNA is written) and repetitions. This is similar to music, often working on reiteration of a sequence of sounds, with variations and refrains....

In December 2007, the media published scientifical articles explaining that DNA emits real music waves! Even before I read Narby’s “The Cosmic Serpent – DNA and the Origins of Knowledge” I happened to have this idea of how there is music in our brains... if we keep our thoughts still enough, we can hear our organism playing music through an infinite series of biochemical processes (related to the functioning of our bodies and thoughts) which produce sound-like or sound-emitting electromagnetic waves.

Faced to the mysterious perfection of life, the limited explanations provided by biochemical researchers deny any hypothesis of a minded DNA; by dismissing the repetitive chunks of genetic material as “junk”, they simply denigrated a part of DNA's mechanisms that they were unable to understand.

Indeed, it is hard to believe that such a perfectly functioning, structured language as DNA is awash with useless reserve building blocks. According to estimates, the sum of the DNA sequences contained in the cells of a human body could be stretched until the moon and then back to the earth. Wow, this matches the idea of a staircase between the earth and the heavens... Just as the water snakes that are often depicted as feathered, flying reptiles in countless cultures from all around the world bear a close similarity to DNA strands “flashing light” in their watery cell environment...

“The Cosmic Serpent – DNA and the Origins of Knowledge” by Jeremy Narby, is published in several languages.

Squadrati quatti quadrati incarnati ricurati
per indiani in teatri sprigionati dal lavoro
mattoni spiritati
Pazienti levigati dentro silenzi cubi
grigi modulari
lisci scivolano evitati
sudori e livori odori stagnanti
mangia un cucchiaio molle di mormorio
sgattaiolati tra le notti
sono rimasti sbigottiti
La cristiana in bigodini
laccati di fresco
appena ha alitato
sorci risorti dal Sarca
Spenta la montagna
lavata la fogna
la cagna antivalanga
si accoccola gioconda
e leccata la zampa sapiente
semplice onesta vita è la sua cuccagna.
