Rage Against The Machine Soul


Rage Against the Machine is the name crossover of a famous band, disbanded in 2000 when GWB was elected (elected?) president of the united states of america, maybe the band was able to give more meaning to the word crossover in terms of musical, social and political.

But Rage Against the Machine and more. It 'slogan, is a scream, is an essential reminder to say I do not know, something like ..
"remember not to be a slave."

The machine is the gear's daily life, moderation is the politically correct, is the fear, is the global market, are the ambitions of power, are the limitations that imposes on you. And 'the institution, it is injustice, are the strains of a prisoner, is the trusted computing, are the rules that we do not understand, do not want.

But the most striking thing is that on the cover of Rage's first album there's a famous photo, a photo of a Buddhist monaco, monaco a Vietnamese Zen, a Vietnamese Zen monaco in flames. His name was
Thich Quang Duc, and his story is one that perhaps best represents the message of the words "Rage Against The Machine."

Thich Quang Duc, born Lam Van Tuc, was slain on June 11, 1963. As with any act monaco zen is a need to specify the purpose. His was just an act, but an act of profound and infinite compassion. If you really want to seeking a social motivation, or motor for this action, you can find in the war in his country divided and oppressed by social and religious persecution in violent interference by foreign countries, in the people who savaged divisions in the name of hairpieces, flags with the face of hatred, for the survival of "the machine".

The site dedicated to him is a beautiful poem, the author is called Drew Logan, I took the liberty to translate it (you do not intend to domino domino, but I think is meant by the Vietnam Domino Theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_effect ):

They said you were an addict
He said you were a communist
They said you were just an old rincitrullito
They did not say anything about your spirit
not they said nothing of your courage
They did not say anything about your compassion
heart of Saigon, Phan Dinh Phung angle and Le Van Duyet
South eleven of June, millenovecentosessantatre
front of the world you have sacrificed.
Lam Van Tuc, the old boy of seven years
He gave his life to become a knowing Monaco
Thich Quang Duc, a Monaco of sixty-seven years old
He gave his life knowing that I become a saint.
They talked about the issue of communication domino

spoke of freedom
They did not say anything about the civil war
They did not say anything about the Buddhist
not have said anything oppression
heart of Saigon, Phan Dinh Phung angle and Le Van Duyet
eleven noon of June, before the whole world millenovecentosessantatre
you sacrificed.

How Much Are Earrings Worth




Jerome accurately points out:

do not know why I'm going to write certain things.
Carryover from Repubblicaonline:
Even the animals have a soul. Sustains an Italian two.
not carry the text of the article, but talks about the results of a survey.

First Soul, by wiki.
According to the Platonic and Gnostic dualism, the soul is by nature a symbol of purity and spirituality. Has its origin in the divine breath (hence the meaning of the word, ie wind, breath). For Plotinus the soul is the third hypostasis, whose essence is immortal, intellectual and divine. [...]
According to the Gnostic opposition between God (Perfection, right) and Matter (imperfection, evil), the soul would have been dropped from God in a material body and would have been contaminated by the intrinsic evil of matter itself.

Ending quotes here, the soul in the most traditional sense of the term thus seems to suggest two things: the existence of a god and immortality.

Doubts:
1) the existence of a god, (not only mine, I would say, as doubt). We say that the existence of a god higher than man puts man in a position of inferiority in relation to it, feeding still more general paradigm of hierarchical god-man-animals-other. Sbilanciamoci so saying again that the existence of a god, if proven, would have the advantage, for the man, to leave open a door to
2) immortality, which, if one admits the existence of a god as a separate than would be nothing more than a doubt. With a god-top, however, would come in very classic paradigm of the god-father-judge.
3) Back to Article Republic of doubts about the vagueness of the definition of an animal (which, under the eyes of all, contains the same etymological root of the term soul). All animals have a soul? Only someone? None?

We postulate now the principle of equality, at least to say: God = man = animal (where, however, for god there is any living entity can not be perceived with our senses, then virtually nonexistent, or virtually any, then it changes) .

would continue to remain so doubt 1, would be insignificant at this point, however, since this kind of god can not guarantee immortality. The two certainly would not have reason to exist anymore, because at this point, we could easily forget the immortality there (without a god-Supervisor-court), except by invoking an interesting contrivance, of Hindu origin and taken up by some schools of Buddhism as the karmic wheel of reincarnation.

Let us invoke him.

If god = man = animal (and I stop here to simplify), then we might end up "reincarnation" as gods, men or animals, that the soul would be transported from one existence to another (preserving the remember? do not keep?) and so on until the end of time.

The third question you kill him now saying that the sign would = the same plane all animals, including mosquitoes. Then or soul exists for all or for none. Including mosquitoes.

Also for the principle of equality, if the soul does not exist for man, there the gods, and even for animals. And we should be content with this life.

Forget any solutions "discrete," which tricks the brain-like mass that exceeds a certain threshold may involve the presence of the soul-,-l 'extension of the principle of equality would mean more to the inanimate world extensions of the concept of the soul (The soul touching) - etc. .. Why

soul remains perhaps the most simple on which to debate, that this remarkable invention (or guess) would allow us to position ourselves more confidently in front of the second question, moving more or less slightly from the immortality so-so slightly and calming the fear of death.

To take away by the incredible complications, perhaps the easiest solution seems to finally be to forget the soul in general, and prepare for the inevitability of death. O admit a general definition of soul as much as possible, and prepare the next life by mosquitoes.
