Origins

Where to begin... perhaps with my premises, at least the ones that distinguish me from other people. Yes, they're mostly opinions, and that doesn't particularly bother me. These include but are not limited to the following:

• We are being lied to 24/7 by The Powers That Be about the things that really matter.
• The world we perceive is not all there is. Not even half.
• Organized religion is an obstacle to spiritual realization (though it can be useful in the early stages).
• In the absence of higher wisdom, government & politics are problems, not solutions.
• Ultimately we are not our bodies, nor even our thoughts. All forms of identity politics are just distractions from knowing your true nature.
• The human species did not evolve in the random Darwinian sense, nor was it the creation of a personal God.

I'll probably think of others, but this is enough to get the wheels turning. Yes, I am a mystic at heart. But I'm not here to tell you what the Ultimate Reality is -- that's for you to find out. I will discuss details of the less-than-ultimate realities, as it suits me.

Oh, and if you want to understand this blog's title, it helps to know Italian. Babelfish won't help much in this case. Actually, even literally translated, it might be baffling. In other words, it's an inside joke.
