Este libro fue escrito en lenguaje coloquial, para una mejor compenetraci n del lector en los di logos, y surja un efecto de psicoan lisis.El tema del libroEs un viaje filos fico de conocimiento basado en hechos reales. Qu es lo nuevo que ofrece esta obra y como se diferencia de otras publicaciones y ofertas en el mercado?Son pocos los libros con la misma intenci n que logran atrapar al lector. Otro libro que captura al lector es el de Carlos Casta eda. "Las ense anzas de Don Juan", el libro de Casta eda trata de cierto camino cham nico, lleno de drogas y ficci n. Estos tres elementos lo diferencian de mi libro.C mo podr a catalogarse el libro?Yo lo llamar a de filosof a pr ctica, que toca las fibras m s profundas del sentimiento humano. Es como un libro del despertar, de iniciaci n en una selva de cemento que son las ciudades hoy en d a.Cu l es la intenci n?Mi intenci n es la de cambiar a las sociedades, su forma de pensar o por lo menos influenciar las tradiciones espirituales de oriente y de occidente, a trav s de la influencia de la "persona", es decir de la m scara o ego. La palabra "persona" viene del lat n persona, o sea m scara usada por un personaje teatral.No trato de darle "poder" al ego como lo hacen la mayor a de los libros esot ricos incluyendo los de Casta eda. Sino mas bien dejando caer la m scara, para que luego seamos capaces de caminar hacia la verdad. El Libro II ( la verdad espiritual) trata de la segunda iniciaci n.Estoy convencido que "conceptos literarios" como los de muchos autores renombrados no contribuyen al cambio, mas bien son poco le dos por el pueblo. Por otro lado bellas expresiones po ticas carecen de pragmatismo y hacen caer a los lectores en un profundo sue o.Una vez entendido esto, el lector asimila y encuentra con facilidad las soluciones a los problemas concretos de las sociedades. Libro III ( la pr ctica espiritual ) o tercera iniciaci n.Unas palabras de introducci n pueden ayudar para difundirlo mejor. Las "palabras preliminares" fueron escritas por el Dr. Fernando Villiger Horat. licenciado en ciencias naturales ETH Zurich, especialidad geograf a y Presidente de la Asociaci n Cultural Cient fico Bolet n de Lima. La C mara Peruana del Libro rindi homenaje a Fernando Villiger, presidente y fundador del Bolet n de Lima, por su destacada labor al frente de su publicaci n que desde 1979 ha buscado difundir las novedades en las distintas ramas de la ciencia. A qu grupo de personas est dedicado el libro?Uno pensar a que es un libro para adultos. Pero la verdad es que estos lectores encontrar n en el libro un mundo diferente, lleno de contradicciones. Contradicciones que ser n un reflejo de si mismos. Muchos de estos lectores se percibir n a si mismos como principiantes en el campo espiritual. La gente de la tercera edad se inspirar en las ense anzas y en los viajes relatados en este libro, para convertirse ellos mismos en "narradores de cuentos" en frente de sus nietos. Muchos de ellos volver n a ser "ni os" como Don Lucio lo era. Y los m s j venes podr n identificarse con Audacio con facilidad.Por qu los conocimientos planteados en este libro son universales?Por que todos somos una sola familia, aunque no lo percibamos. Todos tenemos el mismo destino. Como dice un proverbio chino: el hombre no pidi nacer, no sabe a ciencia cierta como vivir y no quiere morir. La palabra "espiritual" por si sola, es una palabra vac a. Don Lucio y sus antecesores fueron personajes de pensamiento pr ctico.
Thema des BuchesPhilosophische Erkenntnisreise mit autobiografischem Hintergrund.Was ist das Neue an diesem Buch und wie unterscheidet es sich von anderen Ver ffentlichungen und Angeboten? Mein Buch l sst sich nicht einordnen, nur wenigen B chern mit derselben Absicht gelingt es, den Leser auf hnliche Weise f r sich einzunehmen. Ein vergleichbares Buch, welchem solches gelang, sind die Lehren des Don Juan von Carlos Castaneda, in welchem der Autor jedoch einen bestimmten Weg der Schamanen ging, begleitet von halluzinogenen Substanzen und Fiktion. Diese drei Elemente unterscheiden es von meinem Buch Wie k nnte dieses dieses Buch geordnet werden?Ich w rde es am ehesten unter der Rubrik praktische Philosophie sehen, ein Buch, welches die tiefsten Schichten des Menschseins ber hrt. Es ist ein Buch des Erwachens in einem Zement-Dschungel, den heutigen Grossst dten und urbanen Lebensr umen allgemein. Was ist meine Intention?Die Gesellschaft zu ver ndern, oder zumindest Einfluss zu nehmen auf die spirituellen Traditionen von Ost und West, und zwar ber das Einwirken auf den Einzelnen, mit anderen Worten seiner Maske, seines Egos. Es geht nicht darum, dem Ego Macht zu verleihen, wie dies in vielen esoterischen B chern, Castanedas eingeschlossen, suggeriert wird. Vielmehr soll es darum gehen, die Maske fallen zu lassen, um danach den Weg Richtung Wahrheit aufnehmen zu k nnen, davon handelt die Fortsetzung dieses Buches, Buch II (die spirituelle Wahrheit) oder die zweite Initiation.Ich bin davon berzeugt, dass viele literarische Konzepte von angesehenen Autoren wenig zur Ver nderung beitragen, weil sie von der Basis der Bev lkerung zu wenig gelesen werden. Auch l uft der Leser bei der Lekt re von poetischer, hoher Schreibkunst Gefahr, tief in Tr ume zu versinken, anstatt sich pragmatisch mit der Wirklichkeit auseinander zu setzen.Ist dies erst einmal erkannt, wird es dem Leser ein Leichtes, L sungen f r konkrete Probleme in unseren Gesellschaften zu finden. Davon handelt Buch III (die spirituelle Praxis) oder dritte Einweihung.Ein Vorwort/Statement eines Prominenten Das Vorwort wurde von Dr. Ferdinand Villiger geschrieben. Dipl. natw. ETH, Spezialit t Geographie und Pr sident der Asociacion Cultural Cientifico Boletin de Lima. Fernando Villiger wurde von der C mara Peruana del Libro geehrt f r seine Verdienste als Gr nder des oben genannten Bulletins, in welchem regelm ssig neuste Errungenschaften aus verschiedenen Wissenschaftsgebieten publiziert werden. An welche Zielgruppe richtet sich das Buch?Das Buch richtet sich an Erwachsene jeden Alters. Der Leser begegnet in diesem Buch einer anderen Welt, einer Welt voller Widerspr che, welche in Wahrheit sein eigenes Innere widerspiegeln. Viele Leser werden dabei entdecken, dass sie in spiritueller Hinsicht noch ganz am Anfang stehen.Aelteren Menschen m gen die darin enthaltenen Lehren und Reisen als Inspiration dazu dienen, sich selbst in Geschichtenerz hler zu verwandeln f r ihre Enkel. Einige erwecken dadurch ihr eigenes innere Kind wieder, sowie es Don Lucio lebt. Die jungen Leser werden sich mit Leichtigkeit mit Audacio identifizieren.Weshalb sind die Erkenntnisse, die dieses Buch in sich tr gt, universell ?Wir alle sind eine einzige Familie, auch wenn wir dies nicht wahrnehmen. Uns alle verbindet ein gemeinsames Schicksal. Ein chinesisches Sprichwort sagt: Der Mensch hat nicht darum gebeten, geboren zu werden, weiss nicht genau, wie er leben soll, will nicht sterben. Das Wort spirituell an sich ist leer oder bedeutungslos. Don Lucio und seine Vorfahren waren praktisch denkende Menschen.
Don Lucio and the noble monk Chemifeger realized that Audacio's concerns could be compared to a fertile soil that receives and bears fruit. The effort will not be in vain. They thought and made the decision to direct it towards the "First Initiation".Parts of this Initiation were: knowledge of my own history, being innocent and creative, wisdom, as well as beeing away from bad influences, creating immunity and protection, traveling to the jungle, as well as ancestral physical and mental exercises.Monk Chemifeger explained to me that after a year of learning, a Second Initiation was necessary, since one never ceases to learn.In a Second Initiation, the "Being" begins to grow from the darkness into the light, from the earth to the sky, like a plant that needs to be nourished by darkness and light. In this Initiation we see: right and wrong, the known and unknown, the evolution of thought and spirituality, the evident, the look inside me, that is to say, we see darkness on its positive side, the light of the love necessary to grow and the journey to the Sierra. I will leave the ground of my unconscious, to submerge myself in the depths of the outer world. In these are present: humor and love, as well as rhythm. Growing like a plant, where the relation to the external, the infinite and the absolute do not depend on the thought, but on the indispensable exercise of freedom.This Second Initiation will also last a year. After the third year of learning, I will write down all the lessons learned.I remember how monk Chemifeger told me: "The warrior you carry inside has to take advantage of everything that happens - life itself - and spiritual solitude to turn it into something that is in your favor. Learning comes to an end when, through your own path, you become one with the universe. Enter into yourself and you will find in this book the light that will light your way and that of others. You will find nothing to which one can cling, without false ideas of morality, without illusions, free of procedure, tactics or method that are tools of the technological material world, a text where everyone feels somehow reflected. A book that takes the human being from the drama of clinging to the desire and brings one to the search of truth and freedom. What you do in your life will be your legacy, your final testament and at the same time your new beginning."Above us was a cloud which let out a ray of sunshine.Monk Chemifeger went on to say: "The main task is to make changes in society. For this, the individual must first transform itself. For every achievement an indi-vidual does society will feel the change and become more beautiful. A society where everything will be shared with all, what I call more than just a society. A society aligned with the divine will. Society needs a goal to survive as such. The unnecessary anguish of one, will be the unnecessary suffering of all, the immanent power of things, will be in charge of giving us the guides, healers that our society needs. You will recognize them, because they will lead a simple life. I speak thus with it these simple words, to the hearts of all men."
"Los a os han transcurrido y la madurez ha llegado a la vida de Audacio. En esta tercera - y acaso ltima?- parte, somos testigos una vez m s de su proceso de iluminaci n, ahora en su etapa final, donde la responsabilidad lo llama a un nuevo camino, donde las sombras se entremezclan con la luminosidad de los h roes.El libro ha simplificado tanto mi vida que no puedo creer que sea mera casualidad. Hay una gran intenci n detr s de todo esto, una fuerza protectora que me gu a. A esta fuerza, este nuevo estado, lo amo con todo mi ser. Agradezco por el renacer que he experimentado y s que esta alegr a no es m rito propio, por lo que me esfuerzo por servir a algo m s grande que yo, tratando de comprender su significado en mi vida.Este ser, esta presencia, vive y ama a trav s de m , y tengo la certeza de que este encuentro con el libro me est preparando para una vida m s all de esta. No soy ciega ante esta realidad, la reconozco y la abrazo, y deseo ayudar a otros a hacer lo mismo. Estas fueron mis reflexiones mientras desayunaba. Que este testimonio acompa e tu caf como un delicado croissant franc s. Con amor y gratitud, Una lectora"

"Die Jahre sind vergangen und die Reife ist in Audacios Leben getreten. In diesem dritten - und vielleicht letzten - Teil werden wir erneut Zeuge seines Erleuchtungsprozesses, der sich nun in seiner letzten Phase befindet, in der die Verantwortung ihn auf einen neuen Weg ruft, in der sich die Schatten mit dem Licht der Helden vermischen.Das Buch hat mein Leben so sehr vereinfacht, dass ich nicht glauben kann, dass es nur ein Zufall ist. Es steckt eine gro e Absicht dahinter, eine sch tzende Kraft, die mich leitet. Diese Kraft, diesen neuen Zustand, liebe ich mit meinem ganzen Wesen. Ich bin dankbar f r die Wiedergeburt, die ich erfahren habe, und ich wei , dass diese Freude nicht mein eigener Verdienst ist, deshalb bem he ich mich, etwas Gr erem als mir selbst zu dienen, und versuche, seine Bedeutung in meinem Leben zu verstehen.Dieses Wesen, diese Gegenwart, lebt und liebt durch mich, und ich bin sicher, dass diese Begegnung mit dem Buch mich auf ein Leben nach diesem Leben vorbereitet. Ich bin nicht blind f r diese Realit t, ich erkenne sie an und nehme sie an, und ich m chte anderen helfen, das Gleiche zu tun. Dies waren meine berlegungen beim Fr hst ck. M ge dieses Zeugnis Ihren Kaffee begleiten wie ein zartes franz sisches Croissant. Mit Liebe und Dankbarkeit, Ein Leser".
"The years have passed and maturity has come into Audacio's life. In this third -and perhaps last?- part, we witness once again his process of enlightenment, now in its final stage, where responsibility calls him to a new path, where shadows intermingle with the luminosity of heroes.The book has simplified my life so much that I cannot believe it is mere chance. There is a great intention behind it all, a protective force guiding me. This force, this new state, I love with all my being. I am grateful for the rebirth I have experienced and I know that this joy is not my own merit, so I strive to serve something greater than myself, trying to understand its meaning in my life.This being, this presence, lives and loves through me, and I am certain that this encounter with the book is preparing me for a life beyond this one. I am not blind to this reality, I recognize and embrace it, and I wish to help others do the same. These were my reflections as I ate my breakfast. May this testimony accompany your coffee like a delicate French croissant. With love and gratitude, A reader."
For many horror film fans, the name Lucio Fulci conjures images of gore and depravity. Derided by critics as a hack and an imitator and lionized by others as the "Godfather of Gore," Fulci remains a polarizing and controversial figure. However, many fans are unaware of the scope and breadth of his filmography. From his early days writing material for popular comics like Tot and Franco and Ciccio to directing films in such genres as the musical and the Spaghetti Western, Lucio Fulci was a filmmaker of great diversity. When he attained international notoriety with the release of his gory epic ZOMBIE, Fulci already had years of experience in the film industry; that film's success established him as one of Italy's premier masters of the macabre and he would continue to shock and delight fans until shrinking budgets and failing health began to compromise some of his later work. When he died in 1996, he was on the cusp of a major comeback, but in the years following his death the cult surrounding his legacy has continued to grow. Unfortunately, most studies of Fulci and his work have elected to focus only on a small part of his career. SPLINTERED VISIONS changes all of that by providing an in-depth exploration of Fulci's filmography, beginning with his work as a screenwriter and extending through all of his films as a director. The popular horror films and thrillers are given ample coverage, but the lesser-known works are finally put into their proper context. Author Howarth provides a detailed portrait of a complex man using newly conducted interviews with actors such as Richard Johnson and Franco Nero, which allows the reader a sense of who the director was and how he worked. The end result is the most comprehensive overview of Fulci, the man and Fulci, the filmmaker that has been published in English--making SPLINTERED VISIONS a cause for celebration among serious Fulci fans. The book is also lavishly illustrated with a number of rare stills, posters and advertising materials.

In a well-known debate with Geraldo Ferraz in 1948, L cio Costa argued that modern architecture as practiced in Brazil only became truly interesting when the functional grounds of this new architecture - bequeathed to us by Le Corbusier - were incorporated and developed by the national genius.From then on - the argument goes -, we could actually be proud of an architecture that was authentically ours, deeply rooted in a tradition that went back to the colonial baroque style from Minas Gerais. Moreover, in our modern architectural production, Oscar Niemeyer played a role equivalent to that of Aleijadinho, embodying to the highest degree the latent possibilities of "Brazilianness". "There is much more affinity" - L cio Costa insisted - "between Oscar's work, as seen in the admirable Pampulha ensemble, and Aleijadinho's masterpiece - the church of S o Francisco de Assis, in Ouro Preto - than between Oscar's work and that of Warchavchik - which is, in my view, a quite significant fact." Even more significant than that is the formula L cio Costa applies when he's sorting out affinities and pushing the premise that the national element in this new architecture is actually more vigorous than the modern one. He argues that, on the one hand, there are genuine, innovativeworks - seeds that sprout beautifully in our tropical soil, nurtured by the most authentic native sap; on the other hand, we also find imitations devoid of any ties to our traditions; these are second or third-hand copies, like exotic trees transplanted after full maturation somewhere else. L cio Costa's words, pregnant with meanings, implications and commitments, outlines a distinction that has enjoyed a long history among us, that is: the distinction between Brazilian modern architecture and modern architecture in Brazil.
