Mental Health Fast for Freedom was 20 years ago today 8/16, winning global media. We, hunger strikers based mainly in LA, pressured the American Psychiatric Association to admit in writing there is no evidence for a “chemical imbalance” of mental disorders

@TheKingCenter I am proud to be creatively maladjusted!

I've even joined at times with @davidwoaks' efforts to bring this part of MLK's dream to life, by helping organize Creative Maladjustment week, and helping with the International Association for the Advancement of Creative Maladjustment!

"Every soul & spirit has some degree of continuity with the universal spirit, which is recognized to be located not only where the individual soul lives & perceives, but spread out everywhere in its essence & substance, as many Platonists & Pythagoreans taught."
-Giordano Bruno

[Giordano Bruno @ilNolano]

[Nicolás Fuster 🇦🇷🇪🇺 @mellamonicolas]

#GiordanoBruno's cosmological vision anticipates the modern conception of the universe. His ethical ideas remind of modern humanism, and his ideal of philosophical tolerance influenced liberal thinkers.

Bruno was burned alive by the Roman Church, on the 17 Feb 1600, at 6am.

17/02/1600, burned in the pyre

“I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite. And while I rise from my own globe to others and penetrate ever further through the eternal field. That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.”
— Giordano Bruno

Challenging the Fear of God edified in religious authority, to perfect the human intellect in its quest to comprehend the true nature of things, #GiordanoBruno's martyred for free thinking: infinite universe, innumerable worlds with intelligent #life, rebirth & a moving Earth!

[yla @YlaWork]

A day like today, death of Giordano Bruno in 1600, the philosopher who challenged the inquisition. His revolutionary ideas about the universe and religion earned him the relentless persecution of the inquisitors of Rome, who prosecuted him and sentenced him to die at the stake.
