Giordano Bruno (1548-1600)

-May be you who condemn me are in greater fear than I who an condemned.” -Giordano Bruno.

Giordano Bruno was born in 1548 in Nola, a town near Naples. In 1562 he was sent to the city of Naples to study. Despite his religious doubts, in 1565 he entered the Monastery of San Domenico Maggiore, because their powerful order offered a rare educational opportunity. While in San Domenico, Bruno read omnivorously in philosophy, theology, literature on Hermetic tradition, and was attracted to the mnemonic works of Ramon Lull. At this time his rebellious nature began to assert itself. In 1576 he was charged of heresy by the Neapolitan Inquisition, so he fled to Rome, where he was informed by Roman Holy office that one hundred thirty accusations of heresy had been drawn up against him, among them the charge that he had read several books by Erasmus. He took flight from Rome and spend brief period of time in various cities. In 1577, he moved on to Venice, where he published his first book “De segni de tempi” on the art of memory, a work now lost….

Who was Giordano Bruno ? A famous Renaissance heretic, symbol of free thinking supporter of a profound, radical renovation of the whole of humanity. In his work “De L’infinito universo et mondi” , he attacked the very foundations of Aristotle’s cosmology, he states unequivocally that the universe is infinite and that there is an infinite number of worlds. — After being tried by both the Venetian and Roman Inquisitions, he was burned alive at the stake in Campo di Fiori, Rome, on February 17, 1600. One of the greatest geniuses of all times, he was killed by the power which has dominated for two millennia, the all powerful Catholic Church. He has left a deep mark on whoever yearns for Freedom, Justice, Truth and cannot come to terms with the cruel reality of this world. Bruno was an illustrious example of the hermetic tradition that has been present on the planet since the first civilization. It goes back to ancient Egypt, Greek, mythology, sages such as Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras, Heraclitus….

-”We are imbedded into a shadowy reality, confused”. - G. B. -” Man is Divine, and time is an Illusion.”- G. B. —”Only one Sun enlightens and makes infinite worlds alive.”-G.B. (it’s a black sun in the center of the earth)

—”The language of stars is music and song.”-G.B. —”Man also has a Higher Mind.”-G.B. —”Oh Love that has mass and doesn’t make counts…” -G.B

-”Death is just a dissolving of bonds between the physical body composed of atoms and the diaphanous, substantial body, composed of true Light.- G.B.

-”We are all divine creatures, we have eternal Light Body-Higher Self. The Self doesn’t fear death, because it knows that it doesn’t exist. When we are born, we fall into the illusion of our senses; we believe what we can’t see. We just don’t realize that here we’re deaf and blind. Then we’re struck by fear and we forget that we’re divine and can change the course of events, that we can even influence the Zodiac and animal species. We’re creatures of the sun, children of that one true sun that the Egyptians recognized and worshiped, because they knew it was the source of Life. The SELF responds to truth, to awareness of that invisible essence, the soul. Suffering isn’t necessary if we understand that all we have to do produce different reaction, is to change our actions. If we want to understand, however, we must be aware and responsible for ourselves. One day there will be an end of suffering, a new era will shine forth and on Earthly Paradise will manifest on our planet. This world is ILLUSION . Death doesn’t exist. Misery, pain and its various tragedies are the result of fear and ignorance of what reality is. Humanity contains the seed of utopia which will flower when the time is ripe. The entire cosmos is watching over the Earth’s gestation….”- by Giordano Bruno.
