De manhã
O hábito de estar aqui agora
aos poucos substitui a compulsão
de ser o tempo todo alguém ou algo.
Um belo dia – por algum motivo
é sempre dia claro nesses casos –
você abre a janela, ou abre um pote
de pêssegos em calda, ou mesmo um livro
que nunca há de ser lido até o fim
e então a idéia irrompe, clara e nítida:
É necessário? Não. Será possível?
De modo algum. Ao menos dá prazer?
Será prazer essa exigência cega
a latejar na mente o tempo todo?
Então por quê?
E neste exato instante
você por fim entende, e refestela-se
a valer nessa poltrona, a mais cômoda
da casa, e pensa sem rancor:
Perdi o dia, mas ganhei o mundo.
(Mesmo que seja por trinta segundos.)

“Cântico IX”
E os teus olhos.
E as tuas mãos.
E a tua boca anda mentindo
Enganada pelos teus sentidos.
Faze silêncio no teu corpo.
E escuta-te.
Há uma verdade silenciosa dentro de ti.
A verdade sem palavras.
Que procuras inutilmente,
Há tanto tempo,
Pelo teu corpo, que enlouqueceu.

Canção Noturna
Gravação: Skank
Composição: Lelo Zanetti / Chico Amaral
Misterioso luar de fronteira
Derramando no espinhaço quase um mar
Clareando a aduana
Venezuela, donde estás?
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo seu olhar
Minha camisa estampada com o rosto de Elvis
A minha guitarra é minha razão
Minha sorte anunciada
Misteriosamente a lua sobre nada
Não sei por que nessas lacunas vejo seu olhar
Não sei por que nessas lacunas vejo seu olhar
Espalhe por aí boatos de que eu ficarei aqui
Espalhe por aí boatos de que eu ficarei aqui
Vem, mamacita, doida e meiga
Sempre o âmago dos fatos
Minha guerra e as flores do cactos
Poema, cinema, trincheira
Não sei por que nessas escunas vejo o seu olhar
Um cego na fronteira, filósofo da zona
Me disse que era um dervixe
Eu disse pra ele, camarada
Acredito em tanta coisa que não vale nada
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo o seu olhar
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo o seu olhar
Espalhe por aí boatos de que eu ficarei aqui
Espalhe por aí boatos de que eu ficarei aqui
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo seu olhar
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo seu olhar
Velejando, viajando sol quarando
Meu querer, meu dever, meu devir
E eu aqui a comer poeira
Que o sol deixará
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo o seu olhar
Não sei por que nessas esquinas vejo o seu olhar

A Moça Tecelã
Linha clara, para começar o dia. Delicado traço cor da luz, que ela ia passando entre os fios estendidos, enquanto lá fora a claridade da manhã desenhava o horizonte.
Depois lãs mais vivas, quentes lãs iam tecendo hora a hora, em longo tapete que nunca acabava.
Se era forte demais o sol, e no jardim pendiam as pétalas, a moça colocava na lançadeira grossos fios cinzentos do algodão mais felpudo. Em breve, na penumbra trazida pelas nuvens, escolhia um fio de prata, que em pontos longos rebordava sobre o tecido. Leve, a chuva vinha cumprimentá-la à janela.
Mas se durante muitos dias o vento e o frio brigavam com as folhas e espantavam os pássaros, bastava a moça tecer com seus belos fios dourados, para que o sol voltasse a acalmar a natureza.
Assim, jogando a lançadeira de um lado para outro e batendo os grandes pentes do tear para frente e para trás, a moça passava os seus dias.
Nada lhe faltava. Na hora da fome tecia um lindo peixe, com cuidado de escamas. E eis que o peixe estava na mesa, pronto para ser comido. Se sede vinha, suave era a lã cor de leite que entremeava o tapete. E à noite, depois de lançar seu fio de escuridão, dormia tranqüila.
Tecer era tudo o que fazia. Tecer era tudo o que queria fazer.
Mas tecendo e tecendo, ela própria trouxe o tempo em que se sentiu sozinha, e pela primeira vez pensou em como seria bom ter um marido ao lado.
Não esperou o dia seguinte. Com capricho de quem tenta uma coisa nunca conhecida, começou a entremear no tapete as lãs e as cores que lhe dariam companhia. E aos poucos seu desejo foi aparecendo, chapéu emplumado, rosto barbado, corpo aprumado, sapato engraxado. Estava justamente acabando de entremear o último fio da ponto dos sapatos, quando bateram à porta.
Nem precisou abrir. O moço meteu a mão na maçaneta, tirou o chapéu de pluma, e foi entrando em sua vida.
Aquela noite, deitada no ombro dele, a moça pensou nos lindos filhos que teceria para aumentar ainda mais a sua felicidade.
E feliz foi, durante algum tempo. Mas se o homem tinha pensado em filhos, logo os esqueceu. Porque tinha descoberto o poder do tear, em nada mais pensou a não ser nas coisas todas que ele poderia lhe dar.
— Uma casa melhor é necessária — disse para a mulher. E parecia justo, agora que eram dois. Exigiu que escolhesse as mais belas lãs cor de tijolo, fios verdes para os batentes, e pressa para a casa acontecer.
Mas pronta a casa, já não lhe pareceu suficiente.
— Para que ter casa, se podemos ter palácio? — perguntou. Sem querer resposta imediatamente ordenou que fosse de pedra com arremates em prata.
Dias e dias, semanas e meses trabalhou a moça tecendo tetos e portas, e pátios e escadas, e salas e poços. A neve caía lá fora, e ela não tinha tempo para chamar o sol. A noite chegava, e ela não tinha tempo para arrematar o dia. Tecia e entristecia, enquanto sem parar batiam os pentes acompanhando o ritmo da lançadeira.
Afinal o palácio ficou pronto. E entre tantos cômodos, o marido escolheu para ela e seu tear o mais alto quarto da mais alta torre.
— É para que ninguém saiba do tapete — ele disse. E antes de trancar a porta à chave, advertiu: — Faltam as estrebarias. E não se esqueça dos cavalos!
Sem descanso tecia a mulher os caprichos do marido, enchendo o palácio de luxos, os cofres de moedas, as salas de criados. Tecer era tudo o que fazia. Tecer era tudo o que queria fazer.
E tecendo, ela própria trouxe o tempo em que sua tristeza lhe pareceu maior que o palácio com todos os seus tesouros. E pela primeira vez pensou em como seria bom estar sozinha de novo.
Só esperou anoitecer. Levantou-se enquanto o marido dormia sonhando com novas exigências. E descalça, para não fazer barulho, subiu a longa escada da torre, sentou-se ao tear.
Desta vez não precisou escolher linha nenhuma. Segurou a lançadeira ao contrário, e jogando-a veloz de um lado para o outro, começou a desfazer seu tecido. Desteceu os cavalos, as carruagens, as estrebarias, os jardins. Depois desteceu os criados e o palácio e todas as maravilhas que continha. E novamente se viu na sua casa pequena e sorriu para o jardim além da janela.
A noite acabava quando o marido estranhando a cama dura, acordou, e, espantado, olhou em volta. Não teve tempo de se levantar. Ela já desfazia o desenho escuro dos sapatos, e ele viu seus pés desaparecendo, sumindo as pernas. Rápido, o nada subiu-lhe pelo corpo, tomou o peito aprumado, o emplumado chapéu.
Então, como se ouvisse a chegada do sol, a moça escolheu uma linha clara. E foi passando-a devagar entre os fios, delicado traço de luz, que a manhã repetiu na linha do horizonte.

Ostra Feliz Não Faz Pérola
Para que isso não acontecesse a sua sabedoria as ensinou a fazer casas, conchas duras, dentro das quais vivem.
Pois havia num fundo de mar uma colônia de ostras, muitas ostras. Eram ostras felizes. Sabia-se que eram ostras felizes porque de dentro de suas conchas, saía uma delicada melodia, música aquática, como se fosse um canto gregoriano, todas cantando a mesma música. Com uma exceção: de uma ostra solitária que fazia um solo solitário... Diferente da alegre música aquática, ela cantava um canto muito triste... As ostras felizes riam dela e diziam: "Ela não sai da sua depressão..." Não era depressão. Era dor. Pois um grão de areia havia entrado dentro da sua carne e doía, doía, doía. E ela não tinha jeito de se livrar dele, do grão de areia. Mas era possível livrar-se da dor.
O seu corpo sabia que, para se livrar da dor que o grão de areia lhe provocava, em virtude de sua aspereza, arestas e pontas, bastava envolvê-lo com uma substância lisa, brilhante e redonda. Assim, enquanto cantava o seu canto triste, o seu corpo fazia o seu trabalho - por causa da dor que o grão de areia lhe causava.
Um dia passou por ali um pescador com seu barco. Lançou a sua rede e toda a colônia de ostras, inclusive a sofredora, foi pescada. O pescador se alegrou, levou-a para sua casa e sua mulher fez uma deliciosa sopa de ostras. Deliciando-se com as ostras, de repente seus dentes bateram num objeto duro que estava dentro da ostra. Ele tomou-a em suas mãos e deu uma gargalhada de felicidade; era uma pérola, uma linda pérola. Apensa a ostra sofredora fizera uma pérola. Ele tomou a pérola e deu-a de presente para a sua esposa. Ela ficou muito feliz..."
Ostra feliz não faz pérolas. Isso vale para as ostras,e vale para nós, seres humanos.
As pessoas que se imaginam felizes simplesmente se dedicam a gozar a vida. E fazem bem. Mas as pessoas que sofrem, elas têm de produzir pérolas para poder viver. Assim é a vida dos artistas, dos educadores, dos profetas. Sofrimento que faz pérola não precisa ser sofrimento físico. Raramente é sofrimento físico. Na maioria das vezes são dores da alma.

Ausência
E lastimava, ignorante, a falta. Hoje não a lastimo.
Não há falta na ausência.
A ausência é um estar em mim.
E sinto-a, branca, tão pegada, aconchegada nos meus braços,
que rio e danço e invento exclamações alegres,
porque a ausência, essa ausência assimilada,
ninguém rouba mais de mim.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Grande Mário Quintana!
Vovô ganhou mais um dia. Sentado na copa,
de pijama e chinelas, enrola o primeiro cigarro e espera
o gostoso café com leite.
Lili, matinal como um passarinho, também
espera o café com leite.
Tal e qual vovô.
Pois só as crianças e os velhos conhecem a
volúpia de viver dia a dia, hora a hora, e suas esperas e
desejos nunca se estendem além de cinco minutos...
(QUINTANA, Mário. Sapato florido. 1a reimpressão. Porto Alegre: Editora Globo, 2005)
Mais sobre o indigo-boy Boriska
I was told the story of an unusual boy named Boriska from members of an expedition to the anomaly zone located in the north of the Volgograd region, most commonly referred to as “Medvedetskaya gryada”…
“Can you imagine, while everyone was sitting around the campfire at night, some little boy (about 7 years of age) suddenly asked everyone’s attention. Turned out, he wanted to tell them all about life on Mars, about its inhabitants and their flights to earth,” shares one of the witnesses. Silence followed. It was incredible! The little boy with gigantic lively eyes was about to tell a magnificent story about the Martian civilization, about megalithic cities, their spaceships and flights to various planets, about a wonderful country Lemuria, life of which he knew in details since he happened to descend there from Mars, had friends there…
Logs were cracking, night's fog enveloped the area and the immense dark sky with myriads of brightly lit stars seemed to conceal some sort of a mystery. His story lasted for about an hour and a half. One guy was smart enough to tape the entire narration.
Many were stunned by the two distinctive factors. First of all, the boy possessed exceptionally profound knowledge. His intellect was obviously far from that of a typical 7-year-old. Not every professor is capable of narrating the entire history of Lemuria and Lemurians and its inhabitants in such details. You will be unable to find any mentioning of this country in school textbooks. Modern science has not yet proved existence of other civilizations.
Second of all, we were all amazed by the actual speech of this young boy. It was far from the kind kids his age usually use. His knowledge of specific terminology, details and facts from Mars' and Earth’s past fascinated everyone.
“Why did he start the conversation in the first place,” said my interlocutor. “Perhaps, he was simply touched by the overall atmosphere of our camp with many knowledgeable and open-minded people,” continued he.
“Could he make this all up?”
“Doubtful”, objected my friend”. “To me this looks more like the boy was sharing his personal memories from past births. It is virtually impossible to make up such stories; one really had to know them.”
Today, after meeting with Boris' parents and getting to know the boy better, I begin to carefully sort out all the information obtained around that campfire. He was born in Volzhskii town in a suburban hospital, even though officially, based on the paperwork, his birthplace is the town of Zhirnovsk of Volgograd region. His birthday is January 11th, 1996. (Perhaps it will be helpful for astrologers). His parents seem to be wonderful people. Nadezhda, Boriska's mother, is a dermatologist in a public clinic. She graduated from Volgograd medical institute not so long ago in 1991. The boy’s father is a retired officer. Both of them would be happy if someone could shed the light onto the mystery behind their child. In the meantime, they simply observe him and watch him grow.
-After Boriska was born, I noticed he was able to hold his head in 15 days, recalls Nadezhda. His first word “baba” he uttered when he was 4 months old and very soon afterward started talking. At age 7, he constructed his first sentence, “I want a nail.” He said this particular phrase after noticing a nail stuck in the wall. Most notably, his intellectual abilities surpassed his physical ones.
-How did those abilities manifest themselves?
-When Boris was just one year old, I started giving him letters (based on the Nikitin’s system) and guess what, at 1,5 he was able to read large newspaper print. It didn’t take long for him to get acquainted with colors and their shades. He began to paint at 2.
Then, soon after he turned 2, we took him to the children day care center. Teachers were all stunned by his talents and his unusual way of thinking. The boy possesses exceptional memory and an unbelievable ability to grasp new information. However, his parents soon noticed that their child had been acquiring information in his own unique way, from some place else…
-No one has ever taught him that, recalls Nadya. But sometimes, he would sit in a lotus position and start all these talks. He would talk about Mars, about planetary systems, distant civilizations…we couldn’t believe our own ears. How can a kid know all this? Cosmos, never-ending stories of other worlds and the immense skies, are like daily mantras for him since he was 2.
It was then that Boriska told us about his previous life on Mars, about the fact that the planet was in fact inhabited, but as a result of the most powerful and destructive catastrophe had lost its atmosphere and that nowadays all its inhabitants have to live in underground cities. Back then, he used to fly to earth quite often for trade and other research purposes. It seems that Boriska piloted his spaceship himself. This was during the times of the Lemurian civilizations. He had a Lemurian friend who had been killed right before his own eyes…
-A major catastrophe took place on earth. A gigantic continent was consumed by stormy waters. Then suddenly, a massive rock fell on a construction…by friend was there…, tells Boriska. I could not safe him. We are destined to meet some time in this life.
The boy envisions the entire picture of the fall of Lemuria as though it happened yesterday. He grieves the death of his best friend as though it was his fault.
One day, he noticed a book in his mother’s bag entitled “Where do we come from?” by Ernst Muldashev. One should have seen the kind of happiness and fascination this discovery triggered in the little boy. He’s been flipping through pages for hours, looking at sketches of Lemurians, photos of Tibet. He then started talking about high intellect of the Lemurians…
-But Lemuria ceased to exist minimum 800 000 years ago…, I uttered in response to his statements. Lemurians were 9 meters tall! Is that so? How can you remember all this?
-I do remember, replied the boy.
Later, he began recalling another book by Muldashev entitled “In Search of the City of Gods.” The book is mainly devoted to ancient tombs and pyramids. Boriska firmly stated that people will find knowledge under one of the pyramids (not the pyramid of Heops). It hasn’t been discovered yet. “Life will change once the Sphinx will be opened,” said he and added that the great Sphinx has an opening mechanism somewhere behind his ear (but he does not remember where exactly). The boy also talks with great passion and enthusiasm about the Mayan civilization. According to him, we know very little about this great civilization and its people.
Most interestingly, Boriska thinks that nowadays the time has finally come for the “special ones” to be born on earth. Planet’s rebirth is approaching. New knowledge will be in great demand, a different mentality of earthlings.
-How do you know about these gifted kids and why this is happening? Are you aware that they are called “indigo” kids? -I know that they are being born. However, I haven't met anyone in my town yet. Perhaps may be this one girl named Yulia Petrova. She is the only one who believes me. Others simply laugh at my stories. Something is going to happen on earth; that is why these kids are of importance. They will be able to help people. The Poles will shift. The first major catastrophe with one of the continents will happen in 2009. Next one will take place in 2013; it will be even more devastating.
-Aren't you scared that your life may also going to end as a result of that catastrophe?
-No. I’m not afraid. I have lived through one catastrophe on Mars already. There still live people like us out there. But after the nuclear war, everything has burnt down. Some of those people managed to survive. They built shelters, new weaponry. There was also a shift of continents there, although the continent was not as large. Martians breathe gas. In case they arrived to our planet, they would have been all standing next to pipes and breathing in fumes.
-Do you prefer breathing oxygen?
-Once you are in this body, you have to breathe oxygen. However, Martians dislike this air, earth’s air, because it causes aging. Martians are all relatively young, about 30-35 years old. The amount of such Martian children will increase annually.
-Boris, why do our space stations crash before they reach Mars?
-Mars transmits special signals aimed at destroying them. Those stations contain harmful radiation.
I was amazed by his knowledge of this sort of radiation “Fabos”. This is absolutely true. Back in 1988 resident of Volzhsky Yuri Lushnichenko, a man with extrasensory powers attempted to warn Soviet leaders about the inevitable crash of the first Soviet space stations “Fobos 1” and “Fobos-2”. He also mentioned this sort of an “unfamiliar” and harmful for the planet radiation. Obviously, no one believed him then.
-What do you know about multiple dimensions? Do you know that one must fly not on straight trajectories, but maneuvering through the multi-dimensional space?
Boriska immediately rose to his feet and started to pour all the facts about UFOs.“We took off and landed on Earth almost momentarily!” The boy takes a chalk and begins drawing an oval object on a blackboard. “It consists of six layers,” he says. 25%--outer layer, made of durable metal, 30%--second layer made of something similar to rubber, the third layer comprises 30%--once again metal. The final 4% is composed of a special magnetic layer. “If we are to charge this magnetic layer with energy, those machines will be able to fly anywhere in the Universe.”
-Does Boriska have a special mission to fulfill? Is he aware of it?- I pose these questions to his parents and the boy himself.
-He says he can guess,- says his mother. He says he knows something about the future of Earth. He says information will play the most significant role in the future…
-Boris, how do you know all this?
-It is inside of me. -Boris, tell us why do people get sick?
-Sickness comes from people's inability to live properly and be happy… You must wait for you cosmic half. One should never get involve and mess up other peoples’ destinies. People should not suffer because of their past mistakes, but get in touch with what’s been predestined for them and try to reach those heights and move on to conquer their dreams. (These are the exact words he was using).
You have to be more sympathetic and warmhearted. In case someone strikes you, hug your enemy, apologize yourself and kneel before him. In case someone hates you, love him with all your love and devotion and ask for forgiveness. These are the rules of love and humbleness. Do you know why the Lemurians died? I am also partially at blame. They did not wish to develop spiritually any more. They went astray from the predestined path thus destructing the overall wholeness of the planet. The Magic’s Path leads to dead end. Love is a True Magic!-How do you know all this???
-I know…Kailis…
-What did you say?
-I said “hello!” This is the language of my planet…The boy says he was a Martian being seven meters in height in his past life
The unusual baby boy was born in the town of Volzhsky, the Volgograd region of Russia. His mother, Nadezhda Kipriyanovich, gave birth to her son one fine morning. “It all happened so fast, I did not even feel any pain. When they showed the baby to me, the boy was looking at me with a grown-up look. As a pediatrician I know that newborns cannot concentrate looks on anything. However, my little baby was staring at me with his big brown eyes. Brushing that fact aside, he was a usual little baby, like all other kids,” the boys mother said.When the mother and her son returned home from the maternity hospital, the woman started noticing very curious things about her little son. The boy, whom the mother named Boris, hardly ever cried and never suffered from any ailments. He was growing up like all other children, but he started speaking whole phrases at the age of eight months. The parents gave the baby a meccano, and the boy started making geometrically correct figures from it, combining different parts with precision. “I had a very weird feeling that we were like aliens to him, with whom he was trying to establish a contact with,” the boy's mother said.
When Boris, or Boriska, as parents were affectionately calling their son, turned two, he started drawing pictures, which looked abstract at first: they were mixtures of blue and violet colors. When psychologists examined the drawings, they said that the boy was probably trying to draw the auras of people, whom he could see around. Boris was not even three, when he started telling his parents of the Universe.
”He could name all the planets of the solar systems and even their satellites. He was showering me with names and numbers of galaxies. At first I found it very frightening, I thought that my son was out of mind, but then I decided to check if those names really existed. I took some books on astronomy and I was shocked to find out that the boy knew so much about this science,” Nadezhda said.
Rumors about a baby-astronomer were spreading about the town faster than the speed of light. The boy became the local celebrity: people were curious about the child, everybody wanted to understand how he could know so many things. Boriska was willing to tell his visitors of extraterrestrial civilizations, about the existence of the ancient race of humans that were three meters of stature, of future climate and global changes…Everyone was listening to the little boy with great interest, but it goes without saying that the people did not believe those stories.
The parents decided to baptize their child just to be on the safe side: they already started thinking that there was something definitely wrong with their baby. Soon after that Boriska started telling people of their sins. He would come up to a guy in the street and tell him to quit doing drugs; he would tell adult men to stop cheating on their wives, etc. The little prophet was warning people against forthcoming troubles and diseases, which created quite an unfavorable reputation for the boy's parents.
Nadezhda noticed later that her son would often feel bad on the threshold of serious disasters. “When the Kursk submarine sank, he was all aching. He was suffering during the hostage crisis in Beslan too, he refused to go to school during the days of that horrible attack,” the boy's mother said.
When asked about his feelings during the days of the Beslan crisis, Boris said that he was burning from the inside: “It was like as if a flame was burning inside of me. I knew that the story in Beslan would have a horrible end,” the boy said.
The boy is quite optimistic about Russia's future, though: “The situation in the country will be improving gradually. However, planet Earth will have to experience two very dangerous years – 2009 and 2013. Those catastrophes will be connected with water,” Boriska said.
Boriska caught Russian scientists' attention in the summer of the current year. Specialists of the Institute of Earth Magnetism and Radio-waves of the Russian Academy of Sciences photographed the boy's aura, which turned out to be unusually strong.
”He has the orange spectrogram, which says that he is a joyful person of a powerful intellect,” professor Vladislav Lugovenko said. “There is a theory, according to which the human brain has two basic memory types: work and remote memory. One of the most remarkable abilities of the human brain is its ability to save information about experience, emotions and thoughts both inwardly and outwardly, in the single informational space of the Universe. There are some unique individuals, who can draw information from that field. In my opinion, every human being is connected with space by means of energy channels,” the scientist said.
According to Lugovenko, it is possible to measure people's extrasensorial qualities with the help of special devices, which make this procedure very easy. Modern scientists all over the world conduct extensive research works in an attempt to unveil the mystery of phenomenal children. As it turned out, people possessing unique abilities were born on all inhabited continents of the globe during the recent 20 years. Scientists call such kids “indigo children.”
”Boriska is one of them. Apparently, indigo children have a special mission to change our planet. Many of them have amended DNA spirals, which gives them incredibly strong immune system, which can even defeat AIDS. I have met such children in China, India, Vietnam and so on. I am sure that they will change the future of our civilization,” Vladislav Lugovenko said.
While world's leading space agencies are trying to find traces of life on planet Mars, eight-year-old Boriska tells his parents and friends everything he knows about the Martian civilization. Boriska remembers his past life. Specialists say that he knows the information, which he actually cannot know. A Russian journalist has recently talked to the boy about his unique knowledge and experience.
- Boriska, did you really live on Mars as people say around here? - Yes, I did, it is true. I remember that time, when I was 14 or 15 years old. The Martians were waging wars all the time so I would often have to participate in air raids with a friend of mine. We could travel in time and space flying in round spaceships, but we would observe life on planet Earth on triangular aircrafts. Martian spaceships are very complicated. They are layered, and they can fly all across the Universe. - Is there life on Mars now? - Yes, there is, but the planet lost its atmosphere many years ago as a result of a global catastrophe. But Martian people still live there under the ground. They breath carbonic gas. - How do they look those Martian people? - Oh they are very tall, taller than seven meters. They possess incredible qualities.
“When we showed our boy to a variety of scientists, including ufologists, astronomers and historians, all of them agreed that it would be impossible to make all those stories up. Foreign languages and scientific terms, which he says, are usually used by specialists studying this or that particular science,” Boriska's mother said.
Doctors of traditional medicine acknowledge the boy's unusual abilities, although they do not say, of course, that the boy used to live on Mars in his past life.http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/377/12257_Martian.html

Boris Kipriyanovich
Esse é o relato mais bizarro que li nos últimos tempos.
A boy named Boris Kipriyanovich, or Boriska, lives in the town of Zhirinovsk of Russia’s Volgograd region. He was born on January 11, 1996. Since he was four he used to visit a well-known anomalous zone, commonly referred to as Medvedetskaya Gryada – a mountain near the town. It seems that the boy needed to visit the zone regularly to fulfill his needs in energy.
Boriska’s parents, nice, educated and hospitable people, are worried about their son’s fascinating talents. They do not know how others will perceive Boriska when he grows up. The say that they would be happy to consult an expert to know how to raise their wunderkind.
Being a doctor, his mother could not help but notice that the baby boy could hold his head already in 15 days after his birth. He uttered the first word ‘baba’ when he was four months old and started to pronounce simple words soon afterwards. At one year and a half he had no difficulties in reading newspaper headlines. At age of two years he started drawing and leaned how to paint six months later. When he turned two, he started going to a local kindergarten. Tutors immediately noticed the unusual boy, his uncommon quickwittedness, language skills and unique memory.
However, his parents witnessed that Boriska acquired knowledge not only from the outer world, but through mysterious channels as well. They saw him reading unknown information from somewhere.
“No one has ever taught him,” Boriska’s mother said. “Sometimes he would sit in a lotus position and start telling us detailed facts about Mars, planetary systems and other civilizations, which really puzzled us,” the woman said.
How may a little boy know such things? Space became the permanent theme of his stories when the boy turned two years old. Once he said that he used to live on Mars himself. He says that the planet is inhabited now too, although it lost its atmosphere after a mammoth catastrophe. The Martians live in underground cities, Boriska says.
The boy also says that, he used to fly to Earth for research purposes when he was a Martian. Moreover, he piloted a spaceship himself. It took place in the time of the Lemurian civilization. He speaks about the fall of Lemuria as if it occurred yesterday. He says that Lemurians died because they ceased to develop themselves spiritually and broke the unity of their planet.
The unusual baby boy was born in the town of Volzhsky, the Volgograd region of Russia. His mother, Nadezhda Kipriyanovich, gave birth to her son one fine morning. “It all happened so fast, I did not even feel any pain. When they showed the baby to me, the boy was looking at me with a grown-up look. As a pediatrician I know that newborns cannot concentrate looks on anything. However, my little baby was staring at me with his big brown eyes. Brushing that fact aside, he was a usual little baby, like all other kids,” the boys mother said.
When the mother and her son returned home from the maternity hospital, the woman started noticing very curious things about her little son. The boy, whom the mother named Boris, hardly ever cried and never suffered from any ailments. He was growing up like all other children, but he started speaking whole phrases at the age of eight months. The parents gave the baby a meccano, and the boy started making geometrically correct figures from it, combining different parts with precision. “I had a very weird feeling that we were like aliens to him, with whom he was trying to establish a contact with,” the boy's mother said.
When his mother brought him a book entitled ''Whom We Are Originated From” by Ernest Muldashev, he got very excited about it. He spent a long time looking through the sketches of Lemurians, pictures of Tibetan pagodas, and then he told his parents of Lemurians and their culture for several hours non-stop. As he was talking, his mother noticed that Lemurians lived 70,000 years ago and they were nine meters tall… “How can you remember all this?” the woman asked her son. “Yes, I remember and nobody has told me that, I saw it,” Boriska replied.
In Muldashev’s second book “In Search of the City of Gods” he looked through pictures for a long time and recollected a lot about pyramids and shrines. Then he claimed that people would not find ancient knowledge under the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The knowledge will be found under another pyramid, which has not been discovered yet. “The human life will change when the Sphinx is opened, it has an opening mechanism somewhere behind the ear, I do not remember exactly,” he said.
Boriska is one of so-called indigo children. They start to appear on Earth as a token of the forthcoming grand transformation of the planet.
The boy says that the displacement of Earth’s poles will cause two catastrophes: in 2009 and 2013. Only a few people will survive, he said.
“No, I have no fear of death, for we live eternally. There was a catastrophe on Mars where I lived. People like us still live there. There was a nuclear war between them. Everything burnt down. Only some of them survived. They built shelters and created new weapons. All materials changed. Martians mostly breathe carbon dioxide. If they flew to our planet now, they would have to spend all the time standing next to pipes and breathing in fumes,” Boriska said.
“If you are from Mars, do you need carbon dioxide?”
“If I am in this body, I breathe oxygen. But you know, it causes aging.”
Specialists asked the boy why man-made spacecraft often crash as they approach Mars. “Martians transmit special signals to destroy stations containing harmful radiation,” Boriska replied.
The boy has deep knowledge of space and its dimensions. He is also aware of the structure of interplanetary UFOs. He talks about that like an expert, draws UFOs on slates and explains the way they work. Here is one of his stories: “It has six layers. The upper layer of solid metal accounts for 25 percent, the second layer of rubber – 30 percent, the third layer of metal – 30 percent, and the last layer with magnetic properties – 4 percent. If we give energy to the magnetic layer, spaceships will be able to fly across the Universe.”
Boriska has a lot of difficulties with school. After an interview he was taken to the second grade, but soon they tried to get rid of him. He constantly interrupts teachers and says that they are wrong… now the boy has classes with a private tutor.http://english.pravda.ru/science/mysteries/104375-0/

Mais um texto do Kanitz
Todas as profissões têm sua visão do que é felicidade. Já li um economista defini-la como ganhar 20.000 dólares por ano, nem mais nem menos. Para os monges budistas, felicidade é a busca do desapego. Autores de livros de auto-ajuda definem felicidade como "estar bem consigo mesmo", "fazer o que se gosta" ou "ter coragem de sonhar alto". O conceito de felicidade que uso em meu dia-a-dia é difícil de explicar num artigo curto. Eu o aprendi nos livros de Edward De Bono, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi e de outros nessa linha. A idéia é mais ou menos esta: todos nós temos desejos, ambições e desafios que podem ser definidos como o mundo que você quer abraçar. Ser rico, ser famoso, acabar com a miséria do mundo, casar-se com um príncipe encantado, jogar futebol, e assim por diante. Até aí, tudo bem. Imagine seus desejos como um balão inflável e que você está dentro dele. Você sempre poderá ser mais ou menos ambicioso inflando ou desinflando esse balão enorme que será seu mundo possível. É o mundo que você ainda não sabe dominar. Agora imagine um outro balão inflável dentro do seu mundo possível, e portanto bem menor, que representa a sua base. É o mundo que você já domina, que maneja de olhos fechados, graças aos seus conhecimentos, seu QI emocional e sua experiência. Felicidade nessa analogia seria a distância entre esses dois balões - o balão que você pretende dominar e o que você domina. Se a distância entre os dois for excessiva, você ficará frustrado, ansioso, mal-humorado e estressado. Se a distância for mínima, você ficará tranqüilo, calmo, mas logo entediado e sem espaço para crescer. Ser feliz é achar a distância certa entre o que se tem e o que se quer ter.

Cuidado com o que ouvem (Stephen Kanitz)
Vigilância epistêmica é uma expressão mais elegante do que aquela palavra que todos nós já conhecíamos por "desconfiômetro", que nossos pais nos ensinaram e infelizmente a maioria de nós esqueceu. Estudos mostram que crianças de até 3 anos são de fato ingênuas, acreditam em tudo o que vêem, mas a partir dos 4 anos percebem que não devem crer. Por isso, crianças nessa idade adoram mágicas, ilusões óticas, truques. Assim, elas aprenderão a ter vigilância epistêmica no futuro.
Lamentavelmente, muitos acabam se esquecendo disso na fase adulta e vivem confusos e enganados, porque não sabem mais o que é verdade ou mentira.
Nossa imprensa infelizmente não ajuda nesse sentido; ela também não sabe mais separar o joio do trigo. Hoje, o Google indexa tudo o que encontra pela frente na internet, mesmo que se trate de uma grande bobagem ou de uma grande mentira. Qualquer "opinião" é divulgada aos quatro cantos do mundo. O Google não coloca nos primeiros lugares os sites da Universidade de Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard ou da USP, supostamente instituições preocupadas com a verdade. In veritas é o lema de Harvard. O Google não usa sequer como critério de seleção a "qualificação" de quem escreve o texto no seu algoritmo de classificação. Ph.Ds., especialistas, o Prêmio Nobel que estudou a fundo o verbete pesquisado aparecem muitas vezes somente na oitava página classificada pelo Google. Avaliem o efeito disso sobre a nossa cultura e a nossa sociedade a longo prazo.
Todos nós precisamos estar atentos a dois aspectos com relação a tudo o que ouvimos e lemos:
• Se quem nos fala ou escreve conhece a fundo o assunto, é um especialista comprovado, pesquisou ele próprio o tema, sabe do que está falando ou é no fundo um idiota que ouviu falar e simplesmente está repassando o que leu e ouviu, sem acrescentar absolutamente nada.
• Se o autor está deliberadamente mentindo.
Aumentar a nossa vigilância epistêmica é uma necessidade cada vez mais premente num tempo que todos os gurus chamam de "Era da Informação".
Discordo profundamente desses gurus, estamos na realidade na "Era da Desinformação", de tanto lixo e "ruído" sem significado científico que nos são transmitidos diariamente por blogs, chats, podcasts e internet, sem a menor vigilância epistêmica de quem os coloca no ar. É mais uma conseqüência dessa visão neoliberal de que todos têm liberdade de expressar uma opinião, como se opiniões não precisassem de rigor científico e epistemológico antes de ser emitidas.
Infelizmente, nossas universidades não ensinam epistemologia, aquela parte da filosofia que nos propõe indagar o que é real, o que dá para ser mensurado ou não, e assim por diante.
Embora o ser humano nunca tenha tido tanto conhecimento como agora, estamos na "Era da Desinformação" porque perdemos nossa vigilância epistêmica. Ninguém nos ensina nem nos ajuda a separar o joio do trigo.
Foi por isso que as "elites" intelectuais da França, Itália e Inglaterra no século XIV criaram as várias universidades com catedráticos escolhidos criteriosamente, justamente para servir de filtros e proteger suas culturas de crendices, religiões oportunistas e espertos pregando mentiras.
Há 500 anos nós, professores titulares, livres-docentes e doutores, nos preocupamos com o método científico, a análise dos fatos usando critérios científicos, lógica, estatísticas de todos os tipos, antes de sair proclamando "verdades" ao grande público. Hoje, essa elite não é mais lida, prestigiada, escolhida, entrevistada nem ouvida em primeiro lugar. Pelo contrário, está lentamente desaparecendo, com sérias conseqüências.

Marrakesh Night Market (Loreena McKennitt)
They're gathered in circles
the lamps light their faces
The crescent moon rocks in the sky
The poets of drumming
keep heartbeats suspended
The smoke swirls up and then it dies
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face of your god
The stories are woven
and fortunes are told
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
The magic lies scattered
on rugs on the ground
Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face of your god
The lessons are written
on parchments of paper
They're carried by horse from the river Nile
says the shadowy voice
In the firelight, the cobra
is casting the flame a winsome smile
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourselfyou can look at each other
or you can look at the face of your god
“Eu vim a utilizar a história pan-céltica, cujo período é desde 500 AC até o presente, como sendo um trampolim criativo”, disse Loreena McKennitt. “A música que estou criando é um resultado de ter passado por aquele caminho e juntado todos os estilos de temas e influências, que poderiam ser ou não ser publicamente célticas por natureza. Com The Mask And Mirror eu iniciei uma jornada pela Galícia, a região céltica da Espanha, e partindo de lá eu continuei na minha própria peregrinação musical e histórica. Eu olhei para trás e para frente através das janelas do 15° século da Espanha, através das nuanças do judaísmo, islamismo e cristianismo e fiquei atraída por um mundo fascinante de: história, religião, fertilização cultural cruzada”.
Produzida por ela própria e vangloriando-se de uma palheta exótica de instrumentação desde o violoncelo e uillean pipes (tipo gaita de fole) ao dumbeg, tabla e oud, o quinto álbum de Loreena tem vendido milhões de cópias mundialmente. Com um conjunto de influências espanholas, célticas e marroquinas, este segue os caminhos de inspirações vindas desde a Irlanda a Santiago de Compostella até o Oriente Médio. Acompanhando os poemas de São João da Cruz e Shakespeare convertidos em música, sendo estes originais ecléticos e de rica estrutura, incluindo o dramático e sedutor "The Mystic's Dream" e "Marrakesh Night Market".
Em suas jornadas, disse Loreena, as questões examinadas que fazem eco perante os séculos são: “Quem foi Deus? O que é religião, o que é espiritualidade? O que foi revelado e o que foi escondido… e o que eram a máscara e o espelho?”
MARRAKESH NIGHT MARKET (Mercado Marrakesh noturno) 16 de março de 1993 – Cheguei esta noite em Marrakesh e estou hospedada numa esquina cerca do mercado. Deu-se o início do Ramadã e há muita atividade por toda parte. Estou chocada com as feições fisionômicas dos homens sendo cobertas conforme eles passam pelas claridades e escuridões: eles aparentam como monges. Cavalos, carruagens, carros, bicicletas e milhares de pessoas estão envolvidos na confusão das atividades noturnas... uns sons desafinados. Eu me retiro para um telhado de um café para olhar atentamente enquanto bebo meu chá de hortelã... muitos círculos de vinte ou mais pessoas estão espalhadas por toda parte do mercado, cada um envolvido em seu próprio drama de música, contos de histórias, macacos nos ombros de homens, ou cobras sendo bajuladas para “dançar” nos tapetes; preparações “mágicas” de ossos, sementes, pedras e temperos sendo vendidas... as mulheres estão cobertas razoavelmente... Estou impressionada pelo sentido de intriga que o ambiente cria; tanto quanto é escondido como é revelado...
