Soteria Fornaro
Then they came for me, blows on the head. "Stay standing here" - they said.
"Peter, think about your family. If today you are a confessed spy,
not be shot. "
" Whatever. "(Sound of weapons being loaded). And I was standing there.
"It was only a test. (Laughter) Confess? "
No."
"Whatever." (Sound of guns that are loaded)
Then I fainted. I had been distorted by the legs.
( Peter S. 1951)
What I questioned was telling me something, and then suddenly I said
"Be careful. I'm through.
And if you do not understand, if not confess, you know what happens to people like you
?
Watch that this is not child's play. You cut his head.
Your small little head rolls down, zak. "
So I became an enemy of mankind.
( Peter B., 1955)
It may seem surreal, but if you let go
even in jail, behind bars, you can be a free man.
It 'important to take seriously the interrogations, for example.
to play the game of their absurdity.
One asked, "So, if you are a Christian, I have a question.
You must be an idiot to believe that Jesus walked on water. "
replied:" You have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe materialistic world,
and therefore agree with me that all natural laws follow statistical rules.
If I do drop a stone falls down.
Ma se io sono uno scienzato, devo poter credere,
che anche una sola tra un bilione di pietre possa cadere verso l’alto.
Se non riesco a pensarlo, non sono uno scienzato».
( 1961, Christian W .)
Mi accolse una luce accecante.
Il silenzio assoluto.
Non sentivo assolutamente niente, ma niente di niente.
Si dice che quando arriva una luce così,
si sta vivendo un’esperienza vicina alla morte.
( 1968, Bob W. )
