Thanks very much for that, Katya. I'm a huge fan of Bruno, and I've been telling quite a few people about him. I honestly think he can partially be credited for starting the Renaissance of esoterica, by searching for lost texts such as the Book of Enoch. If he never existed, I wonder if the history of knowledge, and all that was gained (and lost!) during the Renaissance may have played out differently.

Ta,

Rick

I don’t know is really exist a true “Renaissance of esoterica”, instead I think that in every age there are men and women that have the daring and the strength to goad, to awake, the sensitivity and the meditation of few or many people that otherwise risks to remain asleep in their state of unconsciousness, state produced from no-clear, false, spiritual and political regime.
Unfortunately these “Masters” are fated to live their life with many difficulties, alone, solitary, often cut off or victim of persecution, so their work can give results on long time remote from them.
Giordano Bruno is the perfect example of this situation.

Katya, most people let others think for them. Those who express a different view, or are clearer in what is true and what is belief. You can truely believe but that does not make it true. When belief systems are questioned all hell brakes lose, and the first loser is the one who questions. But they also know the truth is bigger then themselves. We need these visionaries more then ever, before we sink into the swamp of are own making.
