Have you ever wondered what changes the world of men, our stories and our lives? not the money, not power, not weapons, and even love, are ideas. Moses, Zoroaster , Jesus, Muhammad , Buddha , not their power but their ideas did change the world. ideas may change history "for better or worse .
Ideas can be conscious or unconscious, spontaneous or induced. When an idea is " knowingly induced" by other persons is defined "I . Religion is about to " religere " , relegate, confine ... a dogma . Dogma literally means "I think" .
The story of the Tower of Babel "metaphorically is absolutely true, at some point the man has forgotten the " Real Name " of things, has lost the ability to recognize the " true meaning of words ". When is that "Faith" ... ( Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11.1 ) a word that should open the door to what is beyond, has become rather the cage in which imprison the faithful?
By faith we enhance or you suffer for the faith you kill, you die by faith, faith Relegated led to clashes with other faiths, too ' them relegated.
This is not the function of faith.
Archetype: the study of archetypes is the study of the origin of a function, a model, the pre-existing primitive form of a thought. Who inspired the scheme in the Tarot knew this, and saw in "beliefs" the loss of research, not only religious but also the atheistic belief or scientific had forgotten the original idea, so that lost the true concetto di "Fede" si rinchiusero in se stesse.
Quando analizzeremo nei dettagli lo schema ritroveremo questo pensiero, ed è da questo pensiero, che preso come indizio, ho tracciato la ricerca del nostro "uomo non comune" . Un uomo veramente ispirato, che tramite la sua conoscenza aveva l'aspirazione di risvegliare nelle coscenze l'idea di un mondo migliore, un mondo in cui, superata ogni stupidità delle credenze si potesse unificare sotto la bandiera della verità . 
Da “Occidente Segreto” di Jay Kinney . To get an idea of \u200b\u200bform mentis who created the Aracani more we can turn to works such as Philosophy of natural magic (also known as De occulta philosophia ) of Cornelius Agrippa , composta nel 1530. Vale la pena riportare a questo proposito il commento di Tim O' Neill : «[I maghi del Rinascimento] non solo parlavano letteralmente una lingua diversa , ma avevano una visione del mondo affatto diversa da quella di oggi».
ed aggiunge:
Da uomo del Rinascimento, Agrippa descrive la sua opera come una «dottrina dell'antichità, che nessuno, oserei dire, ha fin qui tentato di ricostruire». Sono convinto che gli Arcani maggiori o grandi Trionfi facciano parte dello stesso scenario, nel modo meno consapevole tipico di un secolo anteriore. Nella seconda metà del Trecento qualcuno, a Ferrara o altrove, stava cercando di rappresentare il mondo in un mazzo di carte un mondo fatto di linguaggio, di simboli, di frammenti di cristianesimo, neoplatonismo e credenze popolari. Probabilmente questo "qualcuno" era un laico o magari un chierico di mondo, capace di leggere l'universo in chiave filosofica e letteraria, consapevole dell'allegoria, wicked but not even the way medieval Orthodox.
Somehow - and this is another genuine mystery - the great triumph mingled with the minor arcana, resulting in a fourfold division in Europe (although some non-European clusters have five seeds, for example). This fourfold division reflected the ancient Indo-European division of society into priests, warriors, aristocrats and peasants / shepherds, with the addition of the new merchant class. In the language of modern Tarot, swords (aristocrats), cups (priests), sticks (farmers) and money (merchants).
Certainly the Major Arcana of the Tarot are the heart, and I believe them to be examined più approfondito all'interno del contesto dell'ermetismo tardomedievale o rinascimentale sarebbe illuminante. Non serve andare a cercare stanze immaginarie sotto la sfinge di Gaza: ci sono già abbastanza misteri sotto i nostri occhi. (tratto da “occidente segreto pag .120-121)
il 4 marzo del 1438 fece il suo ingrasso dalla porta di San Biagio a Ferrara l'imperatore Bizantino Giovanni VIII Paleologo , after him there was a large group of scholars (nearly 700). The call to Ferrara was due to the attempt at reconciliation between the Church of the West with that of the East , or rather the church of Rome with the Byzantine church of Constantinople . The council , ended the following year in Florence (where he had moved because of an epidemic of plague broke out in Ferrara), with nothing done, or at least very little results, so that historians remember him only in broad lines for the small importance in the history of the church. Tutt 'another opinion but there comes a' historical context more specifically, that of magic.
In a book on the history of Magic "The Elixir and the Stone" of Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh read: But if the Council of Florence did little for the unity of Christians, had enormous consequences of another kind. To support the cause of the Orthodox Church, the emperor had done accompanied by more than 650 scholars and clerics who, expecting to have to make numerous references to important texts, they had brought with him a large number of original manuscripts in Greek. It was not only of biblical texts or Christian and some were still too unknown in the West. Among these were probably the most interesting works of Plato , of \u200b\u200bwhich the best known Western scholars il " Timeo ".
Uno degli eruditi più eminenti al seguito dell'imperatore bizantino era Giorgio Gemisto il quale, durante il concilio, adottò lo pseudonimo di " Pletone " (vedi anche: saz . Per approfondire "I misteri di Pletone ") . In passato si era distinto nell'insegnamento filosofico a Mistra , la terza città dell'impero, situata nel Peloponneso vicino al luogo in cui sorgeva l'antica Sparta. A parte il nome, Pletone era un filosofo "pagano", professava il sincretismo e in particolare il neoplatonismo , diffusosi ad Alessandria all'alba dell'era cristiana, e avversava il cristianesimo. Disconosceva Aristotele , icona filosofica per tanti teologi cristiani, e sognava di ridare vitalità e dinamismo alla tradizione pagana e all'antica Accademia Ateniese .
La legge bizantina prevedeva la pena di morte per quei cristiani che fossero tornati al pensiero o alla pratica pagana. Di conseguenza, Pletone fu obbligato a tenere per sé le proprie convinzioni e a confidarle solo a un gruppo limitato di iniziati fra i suoi pupilli di Mistra. Pletone sosteneva il primato dell'insegnamento orale, ricordando che sia Pitagora sia Platone preferivano la parola detta a quella scritta. Il concilio di Firenze rappresentò per lui una tribuna eccezionale e la sua permanenza nella città era destinata a provocare qualcosa di paragonabile a una reazione chimica, that would radically transformed, through a mutual influence, both the man and the place.
In previous years the council, Florence had become a center for studies of the most different. The secular culture had found an environment in which to develop, free from coercion and ecclesiastical stamped with guilt instilled by the doctrine of the Church. Human dignity and importance was given prominence hitherto unthinkable, and the phrase "studies humanitatis " had now become the applicant. Florence had become the cradle of thought and humanistic tradition.
parallel with the flowering of humanism, developed a reaction against Aristotle. The seeds were planted a century ago, when Petrarch had studied the Greek language and extolled by Plato. Although little is know of his work, at least by the secular public, Plato was immediately greeted with enthusiasm by the pupils and disciples of Petrarch. At the time of the Council of Florence, the Platonic philosophy, in spite of the few books available, it had become ingrained in the city as it was the ' humanism.
You can imagine how pleased Plethon , forced to keep secret until then, his interests, he immersed himself in this environment regenerating free of censorship and restrictions. It beo of its new intellectual freedom and not being obliged to attend all sessions of the council was able to attend to his liking Florentine humanists.
At the end of his stay in the city, Plethon had abandoned all pretense towards the Christian faith and, in at least one circle reserved , had expressed his true beliefs. Repudiated the Christian doctrine, Plethon explicitly embraced the doctrines which was heavily influenced by the ancient mystery schools . prophesied that within a few years, these dottrine si sarebbero diffuse in tutto il mondo, avrebbero soppiantato tutte le altre fedi e promosso l'unità del genere umano . Dichiarò, di conseguenza, che " Maometto e Cristo saranno dimenticati e la verità vera splenderà su tutte le terre del mondo" [ Woodhouse , George Gemistos Plethon , pag . 168]. La forza dirompente di questa affermazione è impressionante, in quanto Pletone non si limita a dire che il cristianesimo e l' Islam rappresentano Two versions of absolute truth, on the contrary, he argues that falsifications of the truth, and that their destruction is a necessary condition for the truth reborn.
After this long but necessary quote, I call on the witness stand a fierce opponent of Plethon and eyewitness; George Gennadius Scholarios . Mr
Scholarios tell us what you think of this defendant George Gemisto said " Plethon " ?
Scholarios : "... He was so taken by the opinions Ellen, who cared little to understand the fathers of Christianity beyond the exterior known. And he did not like all Christians who study books for Hellenic the language, read and learn before the poets and philosophers, then to follow them. And the reason was that, as we learned with precision by many who knew him well during youth. Having these inclinations, it is natural for the abandonment of divine grace the demons that had given it continues to become prone to error, which, moreover, happened to Julie and many other apostates. But then came the top of 'apostasy through a jew, to which he had turned to his knowledge of the works of Aristotle. He was a follower of Averroes and other Persian and Arab commentators of Aristotle's books that the Jews had translated into their language ... His name Elisseo and it was he who made it what it is. "
also listen to George Trapezunzio Trabzon, the counterpart of the Catholic delegation Gennadius Scholarios, informs us:
" I heard myself in Florence - was there for the council with the Greeks - and claimed that the whole world in a few years would receive one and the same religion with one heart, one mind and one preaching When I asked, and "Christian or Mohammedan?" he said "neither, but not different from that of the Gentiles." Outraged by these words I have always hated and I considered a poisonous snake, nor the last I could see and hear ... I've seen him in person, eh, if I saw him raise prayers and hymns to the sun, in which as the Creator of everything, and it enhances the worship of words with such elegance, sweetness of the composition, sounds of rhythm ... on the other hand gave divine honors to the sun with words so that even the most conservative scholars do not realize if it could have been only after careful and frequent observations. "
So, not only a character duct e ispirato, ma anche cauto e prevenuto; già il suo caro maestro Elisseo fu vittima di persecuzione e bruciato vivo sul rogo.
Pletone arrivò in Italia in un clima di fervente rinnovamento culturale e vi trovò un ambiente molto recettivo. A Ferrara, esisteva già un' Accademia , guidata da Guarino Veronese , che inizialmente aveva stodiato con Emanuele Crisolora e che aveva approfondito i suoi studi in Grecia fra il 1403 e il 1408, presso lo stesso Pletone. Questo ambiente protetto permise a Pletone di lasciarsi andare a qualche sfogo, colpendo con parole biting the various doctrines and even if the true teachings revealed to them only to a limited circle of followers, what he said publicly glimpse leave very clear ideas on the willingness to go beyond those dogma that prevented the realization of an "ideal world " . is the reason that leads him to see the accused more likely, motivated and able to hide in a bunch of figures usual a heretical teaching so .
