Le Potenze dell'Anima
A wonderful book, this one, truly fascinating.
It analyzes our human condition, who we are, where we are, thanks to the interpretation of spirit read under the lenses of the various biggest religions of the world. Our guide, our existence, but also departures and what dead people means for our existence, sometimes good guide, other ones, spirits in search of nutriment thanks to the still living ones, a sort of revenge for their disturbed existence and because not treat well by people when they existed.
The first part is an historical trip that does not forget any human aspect, from the happy man to the unhappy man, passing through in another chapter to christian exorcisms, intellect and happiness, how to cultivate spirituality (looking at our christianity).
Shadow, wind, the body seen as a messenger of metaphors, but also the meaning of various internal organs for certain cultures, fairy-tales read and seen thanks to beloved stories, where an animal sometimes a serpent donate the possibility of the second vision to men or where not that, a precious stone because saved by the protagonist of the story, who, thanks to the gesture of gratitude of the serpent will receive a lot of richness and happiness.
We will see what yin, yang, mean in prfoundity for chinese culture like also their fantastic, imaginative world. We will understand the importance of breathing for chinese people and how to do that correctly; later Zolla analyzeshe Egyptian old culture, the Israelian one, the roman-greek and the at the end our christian one.
Beautiful, I discovered many notions, implemented other ones.
A great reading for all that people interested at understanding the entire knowledge on the man and his spirit and desires read thanks to the various religions and myths of the world.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
