Project Polis

For friends and those interested who are far away, I write here a few lines to give a first ideal shape to the new project we are materializing. The conceptual cue comes from our present. A present where nothingness, emptiness and nihilism are rapidly expanding. In the faceless people who surround us and who randomly wander in terror, there isn't a minimum of awareness, curiosity, values or ideals to strive for. Everything is seasoned in a hysterical rainbow-colored molasses that pushes them to repeat, without understanding them, the mottos of the new global world order.

The project Polis comes from the need to "do something", to counteract all this, knowing too well that it is an incontrovertible process and that stopping it is an impossible task. Nothing will advance until it overwhelms everything but I hope that we can create small havens where to grow the seeds for a future rebirth. Even if this does not succeed, having tried and used one's energies and time to this end is personally something "worth it".

Mine is a real Passage to the Forest in the Jungian sense. Such a passage can be done alone or with a small group of friends united by the same feeling. I have no pretense of revolutionizing anything "out there" but together we can create perhaps a small island of vitality.

If you feel alien to the values of the society in which you live, in reality it is not the values that aren't good but their total lack of, this could be a project of your interest.

If you want to know more, save the date of Sunday 3 July. We'll have an open chat based on the values and ideas that should bring us closer together and I will be ready to answer questions about how to transmute those ideas into something practical and existing in the material world.
