the transformation [Theme]
The transformation of Christianity into the state religion led to the use of political and forceful methods to combat paganism: by order of the authorities, not only pagan temples were closed and pagan beliefs were banned, but also pagan philosophical schools began to be closed. Within the framework of various philosophical teachings, the most consistent criticism of Christianity was carried out at the theoretical level; philosophical teachings and methods served as the basis for the emergence of many different movements in Christian theology, which were later recognized as heretical.
It was a year that did not allow us to relax, but which forced us to unite and be even stronger. A year when there were many losses, human and financial. And I hug tightly those from whom the year has taken away the most important thing - loved ones. It was also a year of enormous transformation. Soul, mind. Metamorphosis, what is it? Transformation. Transformation. And I believe that we have reached/are reaching a new level of development. Where the rule is to give more than to take. Where love is unconditional, from a pure “just like that.” Where friendship can withstand all events. Where you need to be able to forgive and say goodbye, letting go of everything; outdated, with great gratitude. Where dreams are not just a wish list; on the new moon, but powerful work on your goals and moving forward, because there is faith. Into yourself. And the most important thing. We can do anything. We'll survive everything. We will achieve everything. As long as we have love for life in our hearts. I wish you, my dears, to always be in love with LIFE! Happy New Year!
Nearby, a bomb is fixed on top of a steel tower and will be tested for the first time today. The code name is Trinity. Robert Oppenheimer was inspired by the poems of his favorite poet, John Donne. He loved poetry and the wilderness of the southwestern United States. This peace-loving man, by chance, became the creator of the most destructive weapon in history. <...> At five o'clock twenty-nine minutes forty-five seconds the bomb exploded. The flash of a nuclear explosion is brighter than the Sun. Watching him, Oppenheimer remembered the lines from the sacred book of Hinduism: "Thus I became death, the destroyer of the universe." Bhagavad Gita. With the testing of this terrible weapon, the transformation of a peaceful country created by the founding fathers into a militarized state began.

In man-automatic machines, it is not even mechanics that is important, but the replacement of psychology with technology, the mechanization of the inner world, the transformation of mental life into a reaction-response characteristic of simple devices.

Family life is boring and uninteresting! This is not life, there is no freedom! So says an aged hunter who never possessed a truly valuable trophy ...
The dark forces gave rise to a terrible curse, the consequences of which you saw with your own eyes: during the day Isabella turns into a beautiful hawk that you brought me, and at night, as you may have guessed, the howl of that wolf is the cry of Navarre... Creatures who remember nothing about their life in human form. Just a sharp pain for a fraction of a second at sunrise and sunset, when they seem to be able to touch each other... but they don't.
Whatever you do, you will become taller. Above one more level of awareness of the mechanisms of this world - the mechanisms of oneself. It will hurt. It will be hard. Your illusions will begin to crumble. And this will be a great transformation of a being - into a Human.
I will never grow to the point of becoming a man, and I will suddenly change from a child to a gray-haired old man.
What a sad thought!
Take a look at what it's turned into.
Even he, that wild goose,
Flying in the middle of the clouds,
At the very edge of the firmament.
Take a look at what it's turned into.
Even he, that wild goose,
Flying in the middle of the clouds,
At the very edge of the firmament.
