Insular fame is an epiphany of the strong and benign. The holy books and the codes of law have bonded into a chimera of socio-religious morality. The ten commandments are superceeded by the ten punishments. A monopoly has claimed the people's liberty with the same grasp it claimed the dockyards.
Deep rooted anger of public speakers has placed a buffoon's seed which has grown into an ivy that is exposed to plagues of any old guardian. The difference between politicians and preachers, is their one common point: they want the best for the masses.
Not through a genuine desire of evil or degradation, but their unity has lulled everyone into a sick alienation. Through fear or worship the people have always sought to live and fight for their principles. Even when going against them, they were still all they saw. Atheists and anarchists were just as manipulated as holy men and ministers. (The gods of Athens are long dead, yet the atheists still cry out for their execution.)
Sleeping, in fatigue of millennia, drooling on the mirrors of saints. We try to keep our eyes open, but all we see in the dim light is more laws and faiths. Of every kind: trends, fashoins, music, cuisines, languages, contracts. Dictations everywhere. And the fatigue gets tired. Religion and politics have set the stage for fanatics and extremists. Now there are a million concepts that hypnotize our whims. So used to sleeping, terrifies to dream.
I cannot think what is left of a man that does not own his desires, has no claim to his life. But with so much obstacles, so much malign heirs, where can man turn to find himself, to learn his own laws? Even men of wisdom are caught in a trap. For their solution is to stipulate new laws, with the same innocent malice of the steeple and the chambers.
We must first think, if there were ever men, who were Free. We must establish idols, set inspiration. Two examples come to mind: the Classical period, and the Pre-Columbian cultures. What measures can one use to prove their Liberty? The Greeks were free artistically, the Pre-Columbian people were free spiritually. And the common denominator is Nature.
The Greeks created masterpieces with such consistency of brilliance that it could only have come from the Nature within them, which was purified by their own un-onstructed knowledge of their inner beings. Theatre, Philosophy, Poetry, they are the children of inspiration without decrees.
The Pre-Columbian cultures, such as Mayans, Quechuas, Aymaras and Aracaunians, all lived hand in hand with the nymphs of Nature. And Nature does not ser laws, she is a law: one does not obey her, one lives her. And in so doing they unlocked, through their free spirits, the mysteries of the stars, of mathematics, and of language. And what they achieved is still un-paralleled today. (Just look at the Aymara language.)
Purists may ask: but what do these people have in common with our modern days, these people who are so distant in time and in culture? I am not insinuating we abandon our noble culture in favour of theirs, but merely adopting a concept which has eluded our sophistication and progress: the concept of simple independence. Leave the state there, leave the church there, leave the media there, leave everything there (these are our achievements) but let them not be our only minds. Let us adopt the liberty of Nature and reclaim from the two-headed gryphon our desires and our real lives.
