Research by Italian researchers on mysterious realities

[Bastion]

Good morning, everyone!
I would like to propose a thread where, over time, I will contribute material from Italian researchers who have been conducting research for years on a wide variety of topics that interest us all... ufology, esotericism, spirituality, ancient history, etc.
However, I would like to ask the moderators in advance if this is an acceptable topic, because the topics will be varied.
Thank you, I look forward to your response.

Yes, of course you can put various things in one thread.

I, personally, have an affinity for the neo-Platonists of the Medici Renaissance, which I would contend was knocked out of Europe and replaced.

I tend to sympathize with the politics of Garibaldi, which was soon replaced by the birth of modern Fascism as we know it, whereby Rockefeller and Standard Oil joined with Fiat and Italian National Oil to try to overpower Ethiopia. From that point, we tend to argue heavily against Opus Dei and P2/Propaganda Due.

Correspondingly, yes, we would be interested what anyone in Italy has to say about it.

I have received approval from the moderators, so let's begin.
I would like to point out that I use AI software to translate from Italian to English, both to participate in this forum and to translate the research I will be posting.
In my case (from English to Italian), it works very well, and I rarely find translation errors, so I hope it will be the same for you.

I will start by proposing an essay by Nicola Bizzi "Atlantis and other pages of forbidden history".



To help you understand better, here is a brief description of the author, so that you can get an idea of why he often refers to the tradition of the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Nicola Bizzi, historian, writer, lecturer, and publisher, was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on February 17, 1972. He graduated in history from the University of Florence and has been involved for many years in studies and research into the ancient mystery and religious traditions of the Mediterranean area. Founder and owner of Edizioni Aurora Boreale, a publishing house for which he edits the Telestérion series of mystery and initiatory studies and the Politeia series of political studies, he founded the magazines Aesyr and Novum Imperium, of which he was editorial director for several years. A member of the Eleusinian Mother Order, the Traditional Italian Masonic Order, and the Sacred Ecumenical Templar Equestrian Order, he is director of the Eleusinian Mother Center for Mediterranean Cultures Sidera Tau 8, a lecturer at the Eleusinian Mother School in Florence, and holder of the chair of History of International Relations at Teseo University.

Getting out of Plato's Cave and Becoming Conscious; Gabriel's Ark and the Secrets of Antarctica; One Single Primordial Tradition?; Arturo Reghini and the Sense of Reality (with Loris Bagnara); Agrippa and His Magic According to Arturo Reghini (with Lorenzo Di Chiara and Luca Valentini); Operation Corona: Global Coup d'état (with Matteo Martini). He has edited and continues to edit various television, radio, and internet programs on current affairs and geopolitics, Western Tradition, Archaeology, and the mysteries of ancient civilizations, including Galassia: miti, misteri e poteri dell’imponderabile (Galaxy: myths, mysteries, and powers of the imponderable), Mysteria, Il Sentiero di Atlantide (The Path of Atlantis) (with Gianluca Lamberti), L'Orizzonte degli Eventi (with Tom Bosco and Matteo Martini), and Base Terra (with Gianluca Lamberti and Tom Bosco).

Now I will leave you with a brief description of his essay.

“Atlantis and Other Pages of Forbidden History” by Nicola Bizzi is not just a simple essay on the mysteries of the past and ancient civilizations that have disappeared, like many that can be found in bookstores today. It is a true journey of initiation, supported by the historical rigor and expertise of its author, a historian and writer who has dedicated his life to researching the most authentic roots of human civilization on Earth and rediscovering Western Tradition. This latest impressive work can be described without hesitation as a compendium of over twenty different essays, in which the reader is transported and at the same time guided by the hand through the barriers of time and space, from the mythical Atlantis to the splendors and mysteries of the Minoan civilization of Crete, from the Egypt of the Pharaohs to the Telesterion of Eleusis, to Hypatia of Alexandria, the secrets of Hesiod's Theogony and the Oracle of Delphi, and the mystery of the Templars. A book born from a series of reflections on great unresolved themes in history, archaeology, mythology, and the sacred sphere of ancient peoples.

Shaberon, since you are interested in the Renaissance, I would like to refer you to another essay (much shorter than the one on Atlantis) that deals with that historical period and shows how not only the Neoplatonists but also other mystery orders were persecuted in the hope of making them disappear from history, but fortunately this did not happen... at least not entirely.
The essay is called “Anima Mundi: the sacred fire of the Renaissance.”



Below is a description of the book:

The Soul of the World (in Greek Ψυχὴ Κόσμου, Psychè Kósmou, also known in Latin as Anima Mundi) is a philosophical concept used by the Platonists to indicate the vitality of nature in its entirety, assimilated into a single living organism. It represents the unifying principle from which individual organisms take shape, which, although each articulated and differentiated according to their own individual specificities, are nevertheless linked together by such a common Universal Soul. The Renaissance, driven by ancient mystery and initiatory schools that had survived centuries of persecution by the Church, attempted to reconnect humanity with this Universal Soul. It is now up to us, who have had the misfortune of living in an age of profound social and cultural involution in which powerful anti-initiatory forces are shamelessly attempting to carry out their plans for the total enslavement of humankind, to gather the teachings of the great Initiates who preceded us and who left us instructions in their works on how to break our chains and lay the foundations for a new Humanism and a new Renaissance.

Greek Ψυχὴ Κόσμου, Psychè Kósmou

Very good.

It was more from "recovered texts" (Pico della Mirandola) than "surviving schools", but yes, the underlying idea is what we are interested in.

The extreme difficulty is the problem that the Greek language has been altered or distorted from its original context, worst of all when taken to English interpretations. The reference given takes us back to some of its earliest attestation, that is, Hesiodic cosmology. And the significance is that, during its heyday, it became a common knowledge or bond all the way from Spain to India. And then around the 5-600s, Greek-based education was eradicated in Europe. That means that it leaves a rather close parallel in India, while Europe threw it away.

I won't say that everything Greek is correct, such as they made up "Minos of Crete" and the Age of Heroes does not really represent history before them. Aside from that, it is a good starting point.

Our eastern parallel corresponds to:


Eros and Psyche


And one of the most powerful inversions was done to Virgil, who wrote of a Golden Age, which was re-interpreted as a prophecy for the birth of Jesus.

You might be able to read it that way out-of-context, but Virgil was heavily contextualized, and spoke to an audience that would have understood him.

The age he hoped to be emulated was that of Saturn, a refugee from the Trojan War, who settled near the Etruscans or Tuscany. And so for a few centuries, this was peaceful and prosperous and is Latium or the root of Latin culture.

The city of Rome is a newer, different entity, which ended this nice arrangement.

Does that sound right?


One notices that most old Italian wealth, such as Black Nobility, is a permanent inheritance through today. But when finally being overpowered, the Medici fortune was given to the state of Tuscany.

On a social scale, this had the notions of Byzantine Humanism, which, like the more mysterious knowledge, was not accepted by rising European powers.

Instead, they developed the more false left-and-right paradigms as competed by Rome (meaning France) and Venice. This is visible as early as the 800s, and in the early English Chaucer as well as of course Dante Aligheri.

The closest cousins to the Druids were the Bards, and the way you could talk freely was only by code. So for example when Shakespeare writes "eye of newt", it may have been shocking in the Victorian age, but it's just a plant as part of a recipe.

Rome is France because it exercised full mental authority by its system of Bishops, to which France gave the strongest material support. The Venetian system is political or economic by glorifying the Patrician class.

The "third party" which was really not about money or mind control was therefor extinguished, and those main two conditioned practically all of European history through today. This is minus someone like Garibaldi saying these people do not really address human welfare at all.

Many of the individual subjects referred to in the essays are useful and significant. You get a hint, maybe not the full explanation, that while Pythagoreanism or neo-Platonism was broken and removed from Europe, it walked to Persia as the Peripatetics and formed the School of Isfahan. So there is actually a neo-Platonic branch in Islamic territory or specifically Iran.

There are a lot of ideas in all that stuff, which is all worth looking at slowly and carefully.
