Stefano Tieri A tale of a journey, a rebellion, an indisputable need to say "no". Of a journey, a pilgrimage that will lead - as we shall see, analyzing why - the very goal of Alaska. A rebellion against the man and his spiritual death. The need to say "no": globalization, consumer society, mass coward that has dragged on surviving rather than living. And life is looking for a young boy of twenty, not the stability of the so-called "progress", the bearer of the most diverse of alienation: in a world in which we are reduced to talking through a screen, without any human contact, in an eternal man-machine symbiosis, the man is the very meaning of his life , its social dimension ("Happiness only real When shared," notes Chris in fact). Not having to do with men but with consumerist automatons, Chris decides to abandon everything and everyone, looking for a world without corruption.
Flee ... Separate from that identity that both the weights, so that it can find the identity that is proper, to be defined. The first step can only be to set fire to its old image, locked in a forced smile, supported by facts and figures that define uniquely his own person. Burn the identity card, a debit card, the cash remaining. Goodbye old world, which is no longer anyone welcome freedom. Freedom extreme, an extremist, a traveler who esthete the way home. "
New birth, new life: that of the wanderer, the timeless man, able to stay for hours to observe the slow lapping waves of the sea, the seagulls on the shore, to hear the voice of the wind, weaving a dialogue with him ... This is because an urgent effort marks his life: only the tramp - or the spirit who feels that - has the power to stop and contemplate, out of the corrupt logic that sees the equivalent time and money. Where there is no time, money has no raison d'etre. The speed is no longer a value, and the eyes of the weary tramp of the great metropolis seems crazy.
no accident waiting for a bus in Alaska will no wheels, and therefore property - but not useless - as opposed to the frenzy of the "civilized" world moving at ever greater speed, losing the connection to the land on which he lives. That bond that Chris will try to restore just in Alaska ...
Why Alaska? Here there is no trace of man, saw what the man has become, only Chris here - or rather Alexander, the name chosen for the new identity - can find out what the man really is: its most profound and untamed The rediscovery of silence and meditation follows, the force of wind and storms.
Loneliness as a prelude to freedom, if freedom is to impose their own thinking, able to drown out the myriad of non-thinking that permeates our society and solitude that the mind opens the door to infinity, and the silence is the main ally in this war of taxation of the self.
Not only this but the reason for the choice of Alaska: we are traveling to make contact with strangers and unknown identity, comparing to what you can strengthen it and establish its best. In a world like ours, however, governed by the laws of globalization - which unifies cultures and traditions - no place can give us that feeling of alienation before the new that led to the confrontation between different cultures. This is because there are many different cultures, but there are better or in more remote places (and it is no coincidence that over the years, the travel destinations of "pleasure" from moving farther and farther away from home). Where human beings comes the globalization (sooner or later that is), then the answer here: Choose a place where the man is not there.
"The climax of the battle to kill the false being successfully sugella the inner spiritual revolution": everything is based on a true story, a story of some twenty years ago. Yet everything is still very present, looking around.
