How To Tell If Cat Has A Tumor

AGAINST THE APOCALYPSE.

Reading (or should I say "no read") of the extracts of the book The Limits to Growth: Thirty years after he to speak more than many other books 'literary' and read.

is clear that the task of dealing with a text that accumulate data tested and approved by world renowned scientists, drawing an apocalyptic scenario in our planetary medium term future, may result in the reader an instinctive response of survival: stop reading. We live in a particular everyday we have to solve many problems to drive us over the problems of a planet subject to the depredations of man (from the Latin word whose original meaning is humu s, land, with which is nothing sexist, no matter who insist members and members of the body politic).



The question is, as responsible for reading, Juan Antonio Carmona, there is no reason why we should deal with this text as a mirror. Simply it is data that help us better understand what is happening, but that does not make us feel bad about the situation, after all, no one has chosen to be born and nobody has the ability and obligation to change the world.

If it is true that individual actions can make a difference on a personal level, the familiar slogan think global, act local . But there are grains of sand against a leviathan, and although it would be possible for all human beings put together their little grain of sand and build a mountain, it is unlikely, a word which summarizes and defines the future of the world towards this utopia that many or most have dreamed over the centuries. But the dream, as we showed Horkeimmer, belongs to a dream, not the actual project.

All these slogans emanating from governments or NGOs are half of the reality in that swarm, a reality which I define as schizophrenia, because the other half consists of examples of predatory behavior, lack of scruples, exploitation, injustice, hunger, disease, death, and this reality comes from the same society that speaks of inalienable human rights and a better future. The people who said Juan Antonio, it makes things closely to make them feel better. Which leads me to believe that according to that, breaks down the belief of personal sacrifice for others, the example of redeeming left sacrificed on the cross. But Manolo Moreira we presented an example in which the personal initiative of a committed group managed to recover a degraded environment and get by example the involvement of management, for political purposes, of course.

Machiavelli said centuries ago: the end justifies the means. The question that I do mine, and he gave before leaving this universe, Dr. Manhattan, to baffle Adrian Veidt (in the comic masterpiece Wachtmen) is: What End? What purpose? Nothing ever ends. And that we, in the uncertainty of the tightrope that we walk every day, between doing nothing and doing something, too small to make decisions beyond what our senses allow us to grasp.



This is the world in which we, and everyone is free to do whatever he wants. The options are many, but our limited time and capacity. Should data and forecasts of the book are true, we are witnessing the end of the resources of a planet that seemed a priori be able to feed us all. About what will happen, there are only probabilities, and a small gap that is always subject to chance. Interview

THE LIMITS OF GROWTH.

report The Limits to Growth, commissioned the MIT by the Club of Rome was published in 1972 , shortly before the first oil crisis. The lead author was Donella Meadows but also contributed Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers . The report is based on computer simulation World3 program, created by the authors of the report in order to recreate the growth of population, economic growth and increasing the footprint of the population on land in the next 100 years, according to data available to date. The book's main thesis is that, in a finite planet is not possible continued economic growth, and these limits are of two types: natural resources and the capacity of the earth to absorb pollution without sacrificing the quality of the environment.

MEN OF GOD AND CHRIST BIBLE: MONTESSORI


THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE BIBLE
a salvation issue

who love me, keep my words: and my Father will love him,
come to him and make our abode with him.

(John 14:23)

The Mosaic law was given to Israel for various reasons, including preparing people for the arrival of the Messiah. Also revealed the evil and man's inability to get rid of sin, needing to do a Redeemer-Jesus Christ-that eventually, through his atoning sacrifice, end with the yoke of the law and introduce the people of God -the Church to a new relationship with the Creator, very different to the Old Covenant. This new relationship is what we know as the New Testament.


The Act was a "shadow" symbolic, aimed at showing the reality that the Messiah was to teach, bring it. While the law was full of visible signs of God's dealings with Israel, Christ taught that Christians were called to establish a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, not of man, "and that this relationship would not be as in ancient Israel, where they were as a mass, but that communication would be established as individuals. Similarly, under the New Covenant and not enter into this relationship based on a carnal descent that we did belong to the Jewish people, but we would do it according to our motivations and conditions of our heart.
Jesus said that we did not need a set of laws and rules to reach God, but through faith in his sacrifice would be returned to our spiritual father. That is, we are not under law but under grace.

However, millions of Christians despise this freedom that brought us the Lord Jesus, and voluntarily choose to enslave themselves under the "coverage", tyrannical or not pastors and other hierarchs "Christians." Have lost sight of the meaning of the true gospel and have preferred to submit to the will of men taking the place of Christ and call themselves "shepherds", and intermediaries between Christ and men. They are men who say that those who disobey them are disobedient to God and submit to the believers to spiritual tyranny blurring Christ, living at the expense of the congregation and leading the blind into the pit.

taught that Jesus never had to submit to the spiritual authority of pastors. The only authority was himself, and so he made it known on numerous occasions to his disciples. When he left, this authority would rest in His Word ... what we now know as the Bible.

What is the relationship between Christ and the Bible ..?
What is the Bible ...? The word of God. What many do not realize is that Jesus Christ is also known as the Word of God.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father) (John 1:14)

(Christ) was dressed a robe dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Revelation 19:13)

El asunto es bastante sencillo: La Biblia es la Palabra de Dios, y Cristo es el verbo (o la palabra) de Dios. La Biblia es la palabra escrita de Dios y Cristo es la palabra encarnada de Dios. La Biblia es una revelación autorizada y perfecta de Dios; y Cristo es también una revelación autorizada y perfecta de Dios. La Biblia y Cristo concuerdan a la perfección. La Biblia revela perfectamente a Cristo; Cristo cumple la Biblia revelándose como cumplimiento de las Escrituras. El Espíritu Santo revela a Dios mediante su palabra escrita, y también revela a Dios hecho carne: nuestro Señor Jesús.

Así que tener a Cristo es tener la palabra de Dios. Aceptar a Cristo es aceptar la palabra de Dios, es decir, la Biblia.

Incredibly, the so-called Christians do not accept the Bible (ie, Christ) because they prefer to believe the men Jesus. When they are shown from the Scriptures that Christ has not been named co-pastors and delegates, and that only He leads his people in an invisible way, these men want to keep believing their pastors and religious leaders who would ensure that they-the pastor- have been appointed by Jesus himself to guide them to God. These slaves of men do not care what the Bible says, do not want to believe it.

Also, when shown what the Bible says about women teaching the congregation, these bad men (and women) say that it is written (that women should not teach the church) is machismo, and that such is not valid for modern feminism. Making the word of God; invalidate Christ.

Bible who despises them despises Christ who disobey the Bible, disobedient to Christ. Whoever hears the word and does not obey, is in serious danger

Therefore everyone who hears these words, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house upon the rock. (Matthew 7:24)

Building on the rock means to listen and do what Christ says regardless of the time in which you live. When we put the foundation-Christ, the Rock-in our lives, we must begin to build on that foundation by listening and doing the word of God, the Bible, applying it diligently in our lives.

And now I commend you to God and the word of his grace, which is able to build. (Acts 20:32)

The point is clear: Only the blessed word of God, not obedience to the Pastors, as we hear it, study it, will keep it and apply it, is able to build within us a faith building strong and safe sitting on the foundation of Christ himself. The Bible is not a pastor or any religious leader, which has power us to build you a building of faith, necessary for our salvation.

If we know that Christ is perfectly one with the Bible, we understand that our relationship with Christ should be the same as our relationship with the Bible. Christ, like the Bible, is one yesterday, today and forever.

The Bible is the means of communication between Christ and his disciples
Chapter 14 of John, Jesus tells his disciples that he is about to go to heaven, and they mean a separation in terms of presence physics. But Jesus adds something more: it says that from that moment on, from the moment he separated from them, establish a new relationship.

The issue is difficult to understand by the disciples. They do not understand how they can see and have fellowship with him, if you are about to leave.

Look at this passage. When the disciples ask Jesus to show them the Father, Christ is revealed as one with the Father, Christ says that whoever sees him sees the Father. He assured them that the Father is in him and everything that speaks, speaks in the name of the Father, who is doing the work. Then he says those who ask the Father in Jesus' name, which will receive Christ as the same will. How ...? By the Holy Spirit that the world can not receive because it neither sees him nor knows him.

A little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye see me. (John 14:19)

Jesus is clear in stating that the world will not see but that his disciples will do so. Extremely confused, Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other), asks: " Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not to the world ..? "(John 14:22).

Here is asking Judas to Jesus: "Lord, how can you manifest to us, your disciples, and the rest, who did not they are, not reveal to thee ..? "" What kind of communication will keep with us and not to the world ..? "

Jesus answers:

who love me, keep my words: and my Father will love and come to him and make our abode with him. (John 14:23) Take heed

. Judas asks Jesus how to show his disciples, and Jesus says that only manifest who keep their word. Disciple is one who keep the word of God, the Bible. The only way to be a disciple, is keeping the word of God.

So, "keep My word," is the difference between true disciple and who is not. The true disciples of Christ keep the word of God.

When confronted with an Assemblies of God pastor about tithing, it having no biblical arguments to prove the validity of tithing under the New Covenant, only managed to say: " I obey what he says Primer Assemblies of God . " I asked him again if he would obey the primer before the Bible, and he answered boldly: "Yes I will obey Assemblies of God before the Bible ."

In other words, this pastor, like all the shepherds are willing to obey men rather than God. Are willing to follow traditions and doctrines of men rather than God's commandments. The reason for the pastor in question, preferring to obey Assemblies of God before the Bible was rampant greed, I said 'conciliadoramente': " brother .. I accept the fact that tithing is not mandatory under the Covenant of Grace ... but if people believe that tithing is required, it gives hard .... Imagine if they found out that it is not, would not you ...! "

This same greed, whether for money or power, leading to the pastors and religious leaders to teach, contrary to the Scriptures, that God has appointed co-pastors of Christ, men who are owed the same obedience to our Lord.

So we know that store and fulfill the word of God is the supreme characteristic that distinguishes the disciple of Christ in the world. Save the Word of God is the supreme test of a disciple's love for God and the supreme cause of God's favor by the disciple. Thus, Christ appears to the disciple through the word of God, when is kept and obeyed.

And then when there is a wonderful promise: The Father and the Son come to the disciple's life and establish their permanent home with him through the word of God.

This means that anyone who claims to be a disciple and not obey the word of God, the Bible has absolutely no relation to the Lord. Many "Christians" with whom I speak, I answered defend their pastors, "If my pastor is doing wrong, God will straighten it ..." And the truth, sadly, is that God does not have to "straighten" anything since those who call themselves "co-pastors with Christ", are antichrist, Satan's children who are lost to many. And those who are left astray, preferring to follow these men before Christ (the Bible), the same fate of its pastors, whom Jesus called it "thieves and robbers, who does not own the sheep."

who says: I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in it, but whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God perfected: hereby we know we are with him . (1 John 2:4-5)

obey the word of God is what distinguishes us as followers of Christ. This is proof that we love God.

Only when we keep the word of God we may Christ is revealed. Only obeying the Word of God can do that the Father and the Son come to life and make his dwelling in us.

In short, our attitude toward the word of God must be the same as our attitude toward God. We can not love God more than his word, we can not respect God more than his word.

We can not obey God more than his word. Who ensures that loves God and obey him, but most prefer to obey your pastor or your singer "Christian" choice is lying. We can not honor God more than his word, we can not give more room for God that we are giving your word.

If you belong to the group of millions of believers who are tithe, which is placed under the spiritual authority of pastors and / or apostles elders, bishops and others, or whether it belongs to those who believe they are serving God correctly, it is good to revise their beliefs in light of Scripture, working diligently to find the true God, not that their leaders say God is. When they do, when looking-individually-the God of the Bible, they will realize that they had been worshiping a different God our almighty and merciful Creator. If they do, they will understand, as Paul did-that they were serving Satan and not God.

And God is revealed to those who truly seek him

Install Prices For Travertine

ONLY ONE .. A NEW METHOD


ON "THE NEW SCHOOL" Behind
Montessori or Steiner Decroly .. Who cares ..!


forista Group A: sonartecomunidadeducativa@yahoogrupos.com.mx , I launched an inquiry following a clarification that I made regarding that Montessori was not fascist but declared fascist, Mussolini's friend and chief of Public Instruction the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini's Italy. The Pope gave his blessing to the Montessori Method, and then Don Benito implemented in all its domains. Who implemented ..? Maria Montessori did. Method was used for the purposes fascists and that was perfect for indoctrination in the case.

The question he asked Claudia, the forista, was: "(...) I have a concern, the method that exists today under the name Montessori, which has certainly been leaked for over a century by people who have managed , I understand that promotes individuality, respects its own motivation, encourages the child to learn at their own pace without comparisons to others, that he realizes his mistakes. The method now exists somewhere is promoting totalitarianism and religion? There is something in what one might believe quiet, or if there is interest dark and hidden control??

(I put my answer to broaden the debate to those who want to make contributions to the subject. You can subscribe to the forum in question).

Claudia: The Colombian education system, as well as in countries where the Catholic Church has dominated, it is completely doctrinaire; designed to indoctrinate the population from an early age. So it has been since colonial times and has not changed.

The Catholic Church, through its main ideologues-the Jesuits, have permeated our culture, our whole way of thinking, all our imagination, our entire cosmos, all our proxemics and our politics. Even

Francisco de Paula Santander, supposedly liberal and Mason (he was both), used by the Jesuits to indoctrinate generations independence in obedience to the new masters. It was necessary that the "liberated" do not recognize the English yoke, but they changed owners and willingly accept the trampling of the Creole oligarchy. The military training was essential for children. In October 1820, Santander issued a decree containing instructions for teaching children the Catholic dogmas and duties in society, and find gems like this: "(children) will instruct on the duties and rights of man in society and teach them the military exercise all holidays and on Thursdays in the afternoon. " "Children will stick rifles and arrange them by companies appointed by the master sergeants and corporals from such property held more available. The teacher is the commander . "

is shocking. And there are many more articles like these. So do not be surprised to find that today children recruited by paramilitary and guerrilla groups. It is a Catholic high abuse of children.

Years later, Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera expelled the Jesuits in the country and decided that the State, without the influence of the Catholic Church was the one who was responsible for education in Colombia. But the bandages did not quit. After many wars, the Vatican was able to overwhelm the country and forced to sign the Concordat between Colombia and the Holy See. In one of the sections of this Concordat is given the management of public education to the priests. That is why before 1991, the bandages were who decided which books were read, what movies to watch, that curriculum implemented in schools .. etc.

Some items in the 1886 Constitution and the Concordat of 87 were as follows:

Section 41 (of the Constitution) " Public education will be organized and conducted in accordance with the Catholic religion. "

Art 12 (Concordat): in universities and colleges, schools and other educational institutions, public education and instruction is organized and directed in accordance with the tenets and morals of the Catholic religion. Religious instruction is mandatory in such centers, and will see in them the pious practices of the Catholic religion .

Art 13. (Concordat): Therefore, in these schools, the respective diocesan ordinaries, and alone, and through of special representatives, exercise the right, in regard to religion and morality, inspection and proofreading. The Archbishop of Bogotá, designate the books that have been prepared text for religion and morality in universities, and in order to ensure uniformity of instruction in the subjects indicated, this prelate, in accordance with other diocesan ordinaries will choose the texts for the other schools of formal education. The government will prevent the performance of the subjects literary, scientific and, in general, in all branches of instruction, spread ideas contrary to Catholic dogma and respect and reverence due the Church .

What happens here is evident. The church has total control over everything that is taught and what is done in this country (and all which has Concordat). So laugh a lot when some would have us believe that the teaching of Marxism in the universities, including within the formal curriculum, it was a secret. Marx was an instrument Catholic and his teachings were used by the Church (Theology of Liberation) to cause fratricidal wars within nations. While on one hand the priests were placed on the side of the oppressors, on the other are placed side of the oppressed. On both sides stoke, both dictate, the priests move on both sides controlling the two factions: on one hand we see Fred Roux with his Cinep, pretending to be seen as the defender of the poor and human rights (a Jesuit priest, human rights defender and the humble ...! What a laugh ..! If they were the biggest and most evil of slavery and murderers), on the other, we see the monsignors of the Episcopal Conference, advising the government. The result: The war we are facing.

not forget that everything, EVERYTHING, what happened in education (and everything, but this is the issue that concerns us for now), occurred with the support of the Church, we must analyze the following facts: In

1914, Nieto Caballero founded the Modern Gym and years later is helped by Ovid Decroly Montessori and to establish their educational system. We all know that self-proclaimed Gimnasio Moderno Mason and away from Catholicism, but we all know that its creators and their educational systems are ultra-Catholic. We all know that having a Catholic chapel within its campus and has been run by monsignors of the highest rank, as Brigard. What's Gym is not Catholic ..? That's a joke ..

Decroly visited Colombia in 1925 and was a close friend of the fascist Montessori. Both boosters of the New School.

Nieto Maria Montessori worked with Knight in the establishment of education system Colombian and normal schools to train teachers, which in turn would train the new generations.

Siebers and Francisca Julius Radke, ultracatholic both were placed in front of the Ecole Normale de Tunja and the National Women's Pedagogical Institute, respectively. Siebers, along with his student Rafael Bernal Jiménez (founder of the School of Education, National) were the main drivers of the "education reform" initiated by Nieto and with the help of Montessori and Decroly. In both teacher training institutes, we implemented the Montessori Method and the pedagogy of Decroly, both very close to each other and with deep Catholic roots.

There are teachers who have taught generations of our parents and grandparents. Everything, I repeat, with the papal blessing.

These "reformers" is hard to find one who is not pro clerical López de Mesa, Nieto Caballero, Bernal Jiménez, Socarras, etc. All distilled Catholicism. And do not blame them ... they had no choice.

Throughout the history of education in the country, there have been many reforms, but these have always been in the hands of their professors. Has changed the way .. but the substance remains the same. And the fund has always been indoctrinated.

Despite carapace "Reform" of the New School, things changed in practice. The speeches of professors and university presidents were refilled prorrománico lyricism and epic, something totally opposite to the premises forming the so-called development.

control of education has always provided the Jesuits of tools for their purposes. Thus, anti-Semitism in America is explained in Nazi German documents. The provisions of the Vatican and the Jesuits, to the Jews before the war can be summarized in a document that reads:

" studying the evolution of antisemitism in the United States, we note with interest that the number of listeners of Father Coughlin (Jesuit), known for his anti-Semitism, over 20 million "(Secret archives of the Wilhelmstrasse, Berlin: Document 83-26 19 / I, January 25, 1939)

The Jesuits have done what was been proposed, always. Our country has been in eternal conflict because from school and from the pulpits they have indoctrinated people to do what they've done. Wherever

Vatican interests require people to rebel against a king or a ruler uncomfortable for the Holy See, it knows you will not find more capable people to the intrigue, murder and open rebellion, the Jesuits .

So, the Dress has a method of freedom and progress, does not mean it is. And less if this method had the papal blessing for its implementation, such as Montessori, Steiner and Decroly, among many others.

reformism had caused the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, had names like Dewey in the USA, Montessori in Italy, Decroly in Belgium, Ferrière in France, and others (almost all covered by the Holy See). They were invented various methods, many of which still persist. Million teachers have been indoctrinated with these methods and now call themselves "reformers", "innovative", "rebellious", "in Advanced ", etc.. All believe they are doing social criticism, pedagogical renewal, and more.

If you notice, however, the background of all these methods, is still being dictatorial, do not serve the purpose for which they were supposedly created. And few care that a method supported by Mussolini, for example, "the Montessori, have the nerve to advertise as a way to freedom. That's ridiculous ...! And more ridiculous than educators supposedly revolutionary, libertarian, defend it tooth and sickle.

The reality is that these methods only are new tools to do the same old dirty work: indoctrinate for blind obedience. Decroly The New School, Montessori or Steiner method is only a name change for the powerful and old machinery that has kept people in their ignorance and intellectual and spiritual darkness.

A model called "free", such as Montessori, imposing their fascist psychological indoctrination techniques to impress the Roman religion in the nursery. Another set of "advanced" as that of Steiner (the "waldorf") imbued with spiritualism and medieval superstition impressionable minds of children.

A model "free" is actually imposed by force in schools, gardens and universities in a kind of dictatorship philanthropic

These methods have been and will be class in their objectives, they are not free but are slaves, not a model "natural" but are imposed from the shadows. In these models, touts freedom of learning, but the teacher will always be watching and controlling the process "natural", that is just an experiment that aims to yield to the usual. This process "natural" is full of checks, evaluations and measurements, these models 'natural' when they leave the channel set, will be operated and the teacher will make the "corrections" necessary to "natural and spontaneous" continues to flow "freely.

New School, the Montessori method of Steiner or of Decroly, continues to play in their classroom social inequality. I've never seen in any of these schools-expensive, well, nothing to really educate the man to solve social injustice (and do not talk about armed rebellion, to be sure).

Precisely because these methods "progressives" do not change anything at all, is that governments adopt their proposed methodology and pretend to give a progressive shift in the educational system but the sad reality, these 'improvements' are just a external beautification from something rotten from the inside.

educators systems "reformers" are invented as needed so that people will believe their holy intentions change rating methods, eliminate tasks or become "working guidelines, allow for consultation of books during exams, driving work "analytical" and synthesis, announce that they no longer go from the particular to the general but on the contrary, they no longer qualify knowledge but skills and attitudes, which are not stored but are learning things 'concepts' and many more nonsense that parents-even more stupid, is still believing.

If you look carefully, things do not change: the memorization (of concepts or knowledge) continue, and continue to be imposed by the teacher qualifications are either an A, with a 10 or a 5, As the measurements are. It is these measurements which allow to evaluate how well the child is being trained. It is these measurements which taught from small to compete and not to share, prioritized, to submit to human authority (teacher, principal) that will tell the child if he is right or wrong in the process, it is these measures which will teach that we are not equal and that, despite what is said, the steps there. Success is measured by how many steps it is above all others, of the failures. Freedom of opinion is subject to the discretion of the examiners. The qualifying exam prepares sheep of the future to where they are located in the social scale, dominating or being dominated. Bonita reform of society ..!

school's famous "free" using the aforementioned methods, and that autopregonan as antiautoridad "," reformer "," anarchist ", etc., Have been implemented" unofficially "in Anglo-Saxon Protestant tradition, and have gradually been instilled in their own way state areas (technical Jesuit).

The result is a false idea that has finally found a way to free men, a school "ideal" where borders do not exist and where you can begin to recreate the dream of freedom truly missed. But these schools and methods, as well as show their origins, alliances and benefactors, are another way to create servitude and mediocrity. Stalin had those schools, also Castro, Pinochet, Hugo Chavez, Mao, Mussolini, Hitler and others, implanted them in totalitarian dictatorships. Socialism in the world to believe that produce free men and the stupidity of man does not see what kind of freedom is the one which proclaims that socialism's China Mao killed millions of intellectuals, like Stalin, Castro did the same and not to mention socialist-nationalist regimes of Hitler and Mussolini, the latter a friend of the Montessori principal propagator of his teaching method throughout his empire. And the followers of the Montessori have the gall to claim that their method are free men ...!

Under the guise of "free art" in these schools the emphasis is on music, painting, dance. What stupidity ..! As if the musicians, painters and dancers were truly free men.

What makes the inclusion of the arts in this system is to give the appearance there is no repression. Fidel Castro and Stalin have been masters at this, while they are subjected to poverty and hunger to their people, promote the teaching of the arts and sport in their dictatorships. Will be the best athletes, doctors and musicians, but they remain slaves, as any medieval jester, or any Jewish healer of the English court of Ferdinand and Isabella.

dictatorship imposed on these systems, in a way a little more underground. Just do not allow the different approach to the criterion "free" that is imposed on the method. The teacher takes the place of God and replaces it in the rules to follow at home and at school, parents, unarmed, are also taken by teachers to continue with this method "free" at home, under strict supervision and control "free." Whoever

study at one of these "free schools" have to accept the force's guidelines "free." If they do not lose your chance to be free to force. Students of these schools and parents of children, forced to believe that there are free. Democracy is imposed and no right of reply. They are forced to believe the story.

Teachers "anti-authoritarians" are subordinated to the children and parents 'free', and it is they who make control and power of the method. Teachers say these anti-authoritarian, as our illustrious friend says Montessori Institute-that they are under the authority of the pupils. When the truth is that this apparent subordination is using to control their students and teach them to obey. Jesuit hypocrisy in its purest form.

Here in this forum can see montoneras of "free teachers" who want to impose methods imposed by Mussolini, we see another who wants to fill children's heads with stories of fairies, witches, Nibelungen, or fallen angels and archangels raised, tales of Martians who come in their ships to take us to Mars or Pluto where it can not survive even a cockroach, one that every week we send pamphlets which proclaim themselves champions Jesuit education (they, the cause of our bondage and misery), others insist that the road is Petro and that therefore, we must bring our children to public schools, now in the hands of the guerrillas, "to bring good revolutionaries. How scary ..! That was a Jew (Hitler) could kill tens of thousands of other Jews led to the slaughter and they were carried away.

In all cases, both in the Free School and in the "not free" methods that were transplanted get parental responsibility to educate their children, to the teacher's authority figure. A teacher indoctrinated will do right to indoctrinate students, is a simple principle.

So, dear Claudia, the methods used for their purposes.


Asked whether those who apply the methods are aware that they serve their creators totalitarian, I have to honestly say no forever. My grandparents, like normal education that were deformed with Montessori, Decroly and a German whose name escapes me, firmly believed they were doing good. Of course, educated several generations who have served for purposes not ideal. Sincerely wrong.
regard to question of whether these methods promote totalitarianism or religious, I think so.


As to whether there is something you can believe in peace, without fear of dark controlling interest, I will say that it exists. But you will not find that "something" in any educational method, or any political party, or in any lodge, or any school, or any human spiritual leader. Find your Bible. There you can find.

Brooklyn Bridge Blueprint

REQUIEM FOR A SPANISH PEASANT. SEPTEMBER

This book, according to review the back cover includes a dramatic episode of civil war in a village in Aragon. Mosen Millan is preparing to offer a Mass for the repose of the soul of a young woman she had loved as a child. While waiting for the audience, the priest reconstructs events: the failure of his mediation, which he thought he could save the boy, but that did not help but give it to his executors. The story is a perfect sobriety and simplicity no less profound and shocking. The narrative overwhelmed by his tight realism to the effectiveness of its symbols and the deep knowledge of losmecanismos of consciousness, revealed through the evocation of the priest. Undoubtedly, Requiem for a English peasant is one of the best works of Ramón J. Sender and a definitive book about our civil war, away from any panfletarismo.

This says the enthusiastic review of the back. Let's see if it is accurate or not. The issue of civil war is not easy, as we saw when we read The Blind Sunflowers, the wound still festers and even less has been closed. As Eduardo said when I commented , King , on May 2 began the two Spains. Subject to debate.

I hope your comments. Feel free to make them at any time of your reading.

Thank you all.

Ikusa Otome Valkyrie Savegame



Dear Readers:

As I informed you yesterday, I decided on the basis of the observed dynamics, change the operation of the blog. From now on, comments on the books will be made to posterity by reading and meeting, but starting at the time we started reading. Thus, trust to revive the blog with the active participation of readers who may be sending their comments and observations as they read the corresponding work. Only

will write a brief introduction and some suggestions based on the PAL (Literary Analysis Protocol) to start the debate on line. At the same time, I hope that this new formula will help us to achieve greater depth of analysis and commentary of the work on the day of the meeting.

said, included the comments in this post for the last two books: I, King (August) and Madame Bovary (September).




The unreality of the dissatisfied.

While most readers agreed in pointing out the undeniable feeling that Madame Bovary is a novel that has aged, it would still be legitimate to consider the first contemporary novel, according to the achievements formal and narrative that Flaubert settled, as the foundation of all subsequent literature.

Eduardo and fellow put his finger on the head when he noted the changes in perspective of the narrative, which begins with the first person plural (we do not know if Emma, \u200b\u200bor is the collective voice of the class entering school in Charles Bovary, Emma's future husband) and that changes to the third person singular, in the voice of an omniscient narrator who moves his eye from character to character, flailing his inner life with full omniscience. At the same time, there is a distancing of the narrator to the characters, so that was not involved with any of them, and the reader feel sympathy or antipathy for each character throughout the book as the situation described.

is also true that language, to this day, we find it a bit archaic, not only by the large number of words that have disappeared from common speech (objects or names already extinct), but for the same recreation descriptions that slow and desperate action and bore the reader. We make an effort to contextualize and think that this whole phenomenon must be for the readers of the time enjoyment recración capacity scenarios Flaubert, almost like the setting of scenes from a film or special effects.

Regarding the issue, sympathy and antipathy was Madame Bovary is dealt, a sign of the universality of a character who reaches the rank of archetype (as a Don Quixote or Sancho Panza or Mc Beth). We face the being that lives inside a dream world inspired by the literature (where applicable), longing to live the same situations you have read in all those romance novels that attacks against Flaubert (as Cervantes did against books of chivalry). Emma Bovary, naive, ambitious, unconscious, lives trapped in a real world that disappoints and pursuing a dream world mentally awake, and when successful, becomes a reality equally disappointing that the other reality, or worse. Addiction is

keyword here: addiction to romantic novel, to live in a love scene frozen in the image and likeness of which Emma has recorded in his mind of naive dreamer. And in his journey toward his dream, he meets the cynical use it and throws like a kleenex (Rodolfo), and then with her "soul mate" Lion, which, after the experience with Rodolfo Bovary, seems to live up to it, which has achieved a certain range of seductive (in the sense of speaking Baudrillard in his book De la seduction ), which throws it back to the unhappiness, the desaasosiego of who is sentenced to not tune between reality and unreality interior. Also increased suffering, is the suffering of those around her and they want it, and that leads to his despair in the departure of suicide. He had other options, in effect, and Emma Bovary could have faced reality and fought. To do so would have been humble enough to recognize their problem and seek help. But his selfishness is stronger, and despair, allied with that, choose the arsenic as an escape. This gave rise to the question of whether suicide is an act of cowardice or courage needed, and Juan Antonio lucidly dismantled as simplistic. Our new partner, professional psychiatry, gave us an objective fact: 90% of suicides are due to mental illness, the rest is unknown. One might speak here of Arthur Koestler, Hungarian writer nationalized English, one of the champions of EXIT movement, demanding the right to freely leave the life of their own accord, in full possession of mental faculties, as an act of individual liberties.

It is fair to say that this situation today, it would not end well. So rigid values \u200b\u200bof the society in which the novel takes place, not without its significance. But even in a society of a first world country, where rights and freedom seem to be guaranteed, and gender equality is accepted or institutionally imposed (whether we like even in some cases), Madame Bovary is not extinct , quite the opposite. More are on this planet, more people yearning to live in that tinsel, this luxury, the glamor of Paris that is now the media and immaterial world of advertising, media images, called artificial paradises luxury estates, resorts, spa, etc., etc. And this is to denote that this disease called "bovarysmo" is not exclusive to women, but also occurs among men. And what Flaubert himself said: "We are all Madame Bovary."


PSYCHIATRY AND HISTORY, literature.


I, King
is a book that lets us know the personality of Joseph Bonaparte beyond the minimum topics through which we have known. In this sense it is a remarkable work of psychiatry or psychology, which is not free the author's profession known. Vallejo Nagera has been a psychiatrist, painter naif and writer.

is also remarkable work of historical documentation, which is reflected in the book in the reproduction of many letters between Joseph and his brother Napoleon. At times, it seems we read epistolary genre, in others, we read a book on the history, the history of the arrival of Joseph Bonaparte to Madrid from Bayonne, where his brother was forced to occupy the throne of Spain.

Apart from discussions on whether Joseph Bonaparte is more Pepe Botella we met at school, or the noble and generous character that Vallejo-Nagera us, we are interested in the debate that arises from historical knowledge of local circumstances, socio-political of time. This key event in the history of a Spain that comes from being the great superpower of the moment and whose decline is embodied in a half-consensual invasion. And this latter is important, half because, as noted Eduardo on May 2 began the two Spains an interesting thesis which gave rise to one of the juiciest debates of the last meetings of the Reading Club and, personally, I wish I had then.

Indeed, everything revolved around the characters (Joseph, Napoleon, Josephine, Godoy, etc.) And historical situations, some more anecdotal than others. Perhaps That was a sign that this book has a remarkable value in these areas, compared to literary values \u200b\u200bbut not least they are right, they are the most enhanced, perhaps by the author's interest in boosting the rest.

Booths Gin Why Is It So Hard To Get Booth's Gin?

EAST DEATH.

Three drops of blood, of Sadeq Hedayat. Ed El Cobre. 2004.

This book is a collection of short stories by one of the most notable writers of the twentieth century Persian fiction. Hedayat (Iran, 1903-Paris, 1951) was educated in France where he traveled on a scholarship in 1925. Very influenced by of Kafka's Metamorphosis, which introduced the Persian, built a work pessimism and dramatic cut.

Almost everyone agreed that the story's title is of a quality book well above the rest. Three drops of blood is one of the two stories in the book written in first person, but has a special mystery. For starters, the protagonist begins the text with a reflection on the depth of literature not escape the reader. Do not know exactly who it is, that place is (so only guess by Hedayat is releasing data skilfully), introduces in turn a series of stories within the main story, establishing relationships between the facts and narratives way that confuses reality with fiction (the story of the owl, the terrible story of the cat Nessi). The outcome, worthy of Kafka himself, is a twist in which subtly reveals the nature of the protagonist, her drama.

The remaining stories are more conventional in their structure (story, middle and end), and are more foreign to the Western reader, unaccustomed to the aesthetics and psychology of a culture as the Persian, the that religion and other moral values \u200b\u200bcourt, subject to the characters to be classified as conditions and situations and unsound practices. But it would be a mistake to judge the work of Sedayat from a Western rationalist view, and would be more relevant placed at coordinates of Eastern literature, the Persian in this case, in which they appear before our Western eyes and pray predictable conventions, sometimes inexplicable, acquires a natural meaning in its cultural context.

Sedayat tales are tragic, they have happy endings and are full of suicide, despair, death. Evidence that a melancholy nature and concerned about the darkest pits of human nature. In fact, the very Sedayat committed suicide, leaving open the gas valve. But it is the literary value of her work, we appreciate the scope of mentally stimulating stories soon talking about this book. Strike down

Sedayat against the conventions of their culture so fiercely attached to an immovable moral and social classism. In God's Forgiveness , the characters who make a pilgrimage to a holy city, are revealed as the perpetrators of terrible sins. In Tulip, the love of an old adopted daughter by his obsession and eventually becomes ironic outcome. The man who killed his ego , enters the field of metaliterature with numerous quotations from Sufi literature, whose contradictory readings, lead the protagonist to the mysterious suicide.

Overall, the literature Sedayat is claustrophobic, describes a psychological inner world of characters tied to religious, moral and social rights are leading to a fatal destiny. Not easy to assimilate so much drama inside, but there is a style in the use of language that makes his work a remarkable literary achievement. It is not, strictly speaking, a realist writer, but a gifted writer to turn their obsessions through landscapes and narratives that do not support more output than the squalor, the pessimism.

In any case, personally, I have enriched the discovery of this author and this literature, which is Persian while the nationality of the author, has a clear Western nihilism through each story. And above all, the first story, Three drops of blood, image re-appears in the latest retelling of the book, damn Castle, one of the most childish, we might say, but that reflects the aesthetics of the oriental tales so foreign to Western readers.

I think it would be desirable to take the reading of this book as an opening to other formulas rich aesthetic, regardless of our personal taste. In the West, there is a tendency to expect a happy ending, redemption and poetic justice that we leave a good impression. None of this has no place in the work of Sedayat. Their literature is sad and melancholic music that inspires us and makes us happy, but no, free quality.

Bitter Taste In Mouth After Fever

and nothing behind the mirror.


Esperpento
The definition of the genuine creation of Ramón María del Valle-Inclan, appears in the dialogue of two characters in the play:

MAX: "The ultraists are frauds. The Goya has forged esperpentismo. Classical heroes have gone for a walk in the Alley Cat. DON LATINO: - You are completely Kurdish! MAX - Classical heroes reflected in the concave mirrors give Esperpento. The tragic sense of English life can only come with a beauty systematically distorted.

does away Valley English drama with this work that revolutionizes the basis of gender. First things first.

1 - In classical tragedy, the heroes are seen as being admirable, in the realistic theater, are presented as equals to the author and the viewer; Valley looks on as if in height, ie, distant.

2 - The main characters or heroes, dealing with his presence the whole work. Luces de Bohemia, the protagonist dies at the scene 13, but the work continues until 15.

3 - The characters are all despicable, including the protagonist himself, who accepts money from his former friend the minister "on behalf of two women in need", but then you spend with your partner on the town. Figures Only
his wife and daughter, the Catalan workers imprisoned and later executed, and the mother who mourns the death of his son by the police, show a dignity that is beyond mediocrity and the baseness of this world-inclaniano valley.

4-The author's annotations to the description and staging beyond the conventional, reaching an extraordinary level of literary quality. For example:


SCENE II

Zarathustra's cave in the parapet of the Councils. Piles of rubble and books do cover the walls. Papering the four panes of a four chrome door lurid soap opera serials. Gathering in the cave have a cat, a parrot, the dog and the bookseller, Zarathustra, Abich and hunchback-face rancid bacon and green scarf snake, promotes, with its characterization of the puppet, a very sharp and painful dissonance emotional and very modern Shrunk the ball broke a chair dwarf with foot entrapped and Cepón brazier on stage, save the store. A mouse gets the intriguing nose through a hole.

There are details here that are not typical of a conventional introduction to a theatrical scene. The audience, from a certain row, are not authorized to view "the four picture cards of a lurid soap opera serials" papering the door of the store. The "face of rancid bacon and green scarf snake" descriptions are poetic and symbolic interpretation overloaded with a richness that goes beyond the senses. Is also invisible to the viewer away from the mouse that "brings out the intriguing nose through a hole."


Aesthetics of tragedy.

Despite the smile to surface in the face of caricatures and situations Luces de Bohemia, is the smile (and even less laughter), which completes the catharsis of humor, good humor. It is a humorous one, bitter, harsh, disguised and distorted, yes, but it's like a bad-tasting medicine diluted in a glass of water. Under

deformation of Spain presents Valley, lies a fierce critique, a visceral rejection to the country's situation, given the intellectual and human misery of its inhabitants, from the prostitute to the Minister, where the only ones who deserve to be called worthy, suffer and are killed. This critique of reality, reaches its rawest exhibition, dialogue between fourteenth gravediggers scene: a gravedigger

.- This subject was a man of the pen. OTHER
Gravedigger .- Poor funeral has been!
a gravedigger .- The papers they put a man of merit. OTHER
Gravedigger .- In Spain, the merit is not rewarded. Rewarding stealing and being shameless. In Spain, everything bad is rewarded.
a gravedigger .- Do not put things so black!

But yes, we must make it so black and so exaggerated as the image returned by the distorting mirrors (dark "?) Alley Cat, because as noted by Max Valle Estrella,
The tragic sense of life English can only come with a beauty systematically distorted. And even could, on today and with the perspective of years, replacing terms and conditions translate to recognize that in our present, there is still much darkness, shade, and even persists and does not dissipate because the dim lights just enough of a bohemian life that resist in the trenches and barricades (Don Quixote and Max Estrella, Sancho Panza and Don Latino: a comparison in which depth).

What Wax Strips Can You Use For Genitals?

obsessions, addictions and FATAL.

"A woman's soul trapped in the body of a man," he said at the meeting. It comes in the prologue the thesis that screened at Lorca Yerma its impotence to conceive a child. Transposes the matter to the figure of woman willing to motherhood, whose husband does not satisfy his desire, but at the same time unable to transgress the bounds of strict morality that prevails in the rural world, and yet, so hypocritical is violated under the veneer of alleged miracles of the saint.

To Yerma, infidelity is not an option, or the abandonment of her husband. Does not love, is a husband and accepted tax. His passion is to another man, but half an invisible border between dark values \u200b\u200bconstructed with a black Spain. Neither man seems very inclined to take a step in the direction in which it encourages Yerma watch. All men of the work, always appear through the lens of women. There is never a dialogue scene between two men without the presence of a woman, Yerma. Yerma

certainly is a character exaggerated, led to a situation whose solution does not consent obsession. He refuses to infidelity to that provided other persons, defends his honor and fidelity to her husband, but refuses to accept his fate as a woman without children and is enclosed in a maze of obsession and rage that has a tragic center. JA rightly said Carmona, who is mentally ill Yerma, a depressive addicted, not only torments himself with the situation, but does not opt \u200b\u200bfor a way out. If your desire was to be a mother, mother would be happier being alone than married to a husband gives disappointing but not frustration.

Parliaments of Yerma, are written by a being who obviously I felt so intimate femininity. We talked about Lorca and Almodovar, his choice and preference for women as protagonists. Yerma words sonpoesía Sombol talking about what is hidden deep in women, in line with the words of Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra "all the woman has only one solution: the pregnancy." Today, that statement seems a little pilgrim, given the way of life achieved in our welfare society in which having a child has become (in the opinion of many) in a luxury. Is it really a luxury or an inability to have children, or have we reached that stage of society whose living it bring out the selfishness and the refusal to deliver time and sacrifice for them?

In biology, the K strategy is that a species living in harsh conditions for survival, the level of birth to ensure their survival. In most developed countries, the reverse happens, and this is part, among other things, the phenomenon of immigration. In Spain, if you go further, the daily population ages and fewer children are born. The woman, wanting to legitimately achieve equality with men, agrees or attempts to enter the labor market. Having children is an impediment. By contrast, in rural Spain of Yerma, women are assigned a role in stone. Keep house, have children (future workers) and care. The failure to achieve this objective, biological and existential failure becomes in the mind of the protagonist, and his inability to break the rules or your state obsessive addiction, or both, is carried end to the cause she believed to be responsible his failure as a woman-mother. Thus, the murder of her husband, is an image that symbolizes the strength of a woman hit in his obsession physically succeeding conviction of his will, against a man who is a symbol of masculinity inert, stunned by the unexpected. Nietzsche also said that men should fear women, because this is able to do anything for love, even love for the unborn child.
