Fragmentación, diversificación y renovación del Movimiento Scout en el Perú, desde la perspectiva de alguien que se encuentra profundamente involucrado con este proceso. El Autor en su calidad de Líder de Asociación Peruana de Escultismo nos muestra de forma concreta hechos, posturas, personajes y otros que nos permitirán tener una visión clara de lo que está sucediendo al interior de este movimiento social, educativo y cultural, y de lo que este proceso puede significar para el Perú. En su versión impresa el libro fue presentado el 2 de Agosto del 2023 en La Casa de La Literatura Peruana, contando como panelistas a Virna Vera, destacada profesional de las Ciencias Sociales y Líder del Colectivo Juega Perú, y Javier Galdos en su calidad de Presidente de Mensa Perú. Puede encontrar el audio del evento en el canal de YouTube del Autor. Como líder del Grupo Scout Huellas Profundas, el 2005 lideró el proceso de independencia de su grupo scout, el cual incluyó una desafiliación formal de la Asociación de Scouts del Perú y una declaración abierta como "Grupo Scout Independiente", este hecho marcó el rompimiento formal del monopolio scout y fue entonces considerado altamente polémico e incluso ilegal, toda vez que la entidad mencionada contaba con una Ley de Protección (Ley 16666) que otorgaba diversos beneficios a esta entidad, incluyendo la exclusividad de la práctica del escultismo, con lo cual se ganó diversas amenazas y enemigos de forma abierta, pues rompió el statu quo en el mundo scout peruano - una oveja negra a toda regla - Un año después (2006), con jóvenes de su propio grupo scout, se conformó legalmente la Asociación Peruana de Escultismo - SCOUTS APE, lo que reafirmó la irreversibilidad del camino emprendido; actualmente en Perú existen 15 organizaciones scouts, autónomas entre sí, que declaran promover los valores, misión y metodología que el Fundador del Movimiento Scout Robert Baden-Powell dejó, éste hecho nos habla con contundencia de la certeza y visión del autor, tanto como de las razones que tuvo para alejarse en su momento de la anterior organización, contribuyendo a liberar los liderazgos de adultos, adolescentes y jóvenes, así como, a acelerar sus propios procesos de desarrollo y contribución a su comunidad. El libro contiene el trabajo exacto de un año, datos históricos, reflexiones, fotografías y 11 testimonios de personas debidamente identificadas que han formado parte de las acciones contenidas, dándole una validez y contundencia adicional al trabajo aquí mostrado.

JESUS E APOLOQUEM FOI REALMENTE JESUS DE NAZARÉ?QUAL A IMPORTÂNCIA DO MISTERIOSO APOLÔNIO DE TIANA?ELES ERAM IRMÃOS OU O MESMO HOMEM?QUAL ERA O RELACIONAMENTO DELES COM O ADMIRÁVEL APÓSTOLOPAULO DE TARSO?OS ESSÊNIOS EM SÍNTESE01)Sabe-se que Jesus de Nazaré e Apolônio de Tiana existiram há dois mil anos, no início do primeiro milênio desta era, sendo que a vida de Jesus teria durado cerca de 33 anos e a de Apolônio em torno de 100 anos. 02)Considera-se que os dois homens foram extremamente dedicados a Deus, tanto nas doutrinas que legaram, como em suas vidas. 03)Eles nasceram e viveram praticamente na mesma região da Terra, o Oriente Médio, situado entre o Oriente e o Ocidente, em uma época de grande efervescência da cultura e da expansão da civilização. 04)Esses dois homens tiveram vidas irrepreensíveis, foram extremamente inteligentes e sábios, além de terem realizados inúmeros e variados milagres. 05)Procuraram aproximar Deus de todos os homens que encontravam, além de curar aqueles que estivessem enfermos e necessitados, sem qualquer distinção e recompensa pessoais.06)A vida de Jesus de Nazaré está descrita nos quatro Evangelhos canônicos da Bíblia e em muitos outros Evangelhos descobertos em Nag Hammadi e nas cavernas do Mar Morto, em pleno século XX, sendo que o seu principal discípulo era chamado de João. 07)Apolônio de Tiana teve uma extensa biografia, feita por Jâmblico, com base nas anotações do seu fiel discípulo Dâmis, que o acompanhou durante quase toda a vida, assim como Jesus também tinha o seu fiel discípulo João. 08)Jesus deixou inúmeros ensinamentos coletados e indicados nos Evangelhos, nos Atos dos Apóstolos, nas Cartas dos seus discípulos e no Livro das Revelações, o Apocalipse. 09)Apolônio escreveu diversos livros, inclusive livros sobre a filosofia neopitagórica, as ciências médicas e outras ciências e artes, bem como livros sobre Alquimia e doutrinas sobre a libertação do homem, como o impressionante Nuctemeron. 10)Os dois homens eram versados em muitas línguas e autodidatas em tudo, sendo reconhecidos como mestres de todos os mestres, a qualquer tempo.11)Eles tiveram os seus próprios discípulos e seguidores, bem como viajaram por inúmeros lugares da sua época. Tendo tido contato com sacerdotes, reis e imperadores, que os admiraram e respeitaram, mesmo quando discordavam das suas opiniões e ensinamentos. 12)Eram homens extremamente tolerantes e liberais, embora bastante determinados em suas opiniões e intransigentes quanto ao que consideravam sagrado ou com aquilo que viam como a sua santa Missão. 13)Dedicavam-se a um Deus vivo e único, que diziam existir em toda parte e em cada criatura, professando Amor a Deus e a todos os homens e criaturas, pois respeitavam a vida acima de tudo.14)Fala-se que Jesus morreu na cruz, como pena por seu Amor pela humanidade. Embora Ele visse em cada homem e em cada criatura, um futuro Filho de Deus em desenvolvimento, nada desejando para si mesmo. 15)Apolônio deixou um raro testemunho da vida a serviço de todo homem, tendo desaparecido sem deixar rastros. Depois de escapar de uma renhida perseguição por pessoas maldosas, que desejavam a sua morte, pois queriam fazer calar a Verdade, que ele manifestava em benefício de todos, sem qualquer interesse pessoal. 16)Paulo de Tarso foi o grande Apóstolo que consolidou, praticou e divulgou o Evangelho vivo de Jesus Cristo. Porque não via qualquer outra alternativa em sua vida, que não fosse pregar o Evangelho e curar os homens enfermos, como ele mesmo disse em sua Segunda Carta aos Coríntios. 17)Jesus teve a sua esplêndida manifestação e encarnação no meio da Irmandade dos Essênios. Cujo fundador foi Enoque e Apolônio o seu mentor e protetor, enquanto eles existiram. Tendo Apolônio se tornado o guardião do seu impressionante legado, que ora está sendo descoberto em Nag Hammadi e nas cavernas de Qumran no Mar Morto.

Durante una impegnativa escursione nella foresta tropicale tailandese, capitano numerosi eventi che provocano riflessioni sulla vita degli animali selvatici e su quella umana. Non si tratta dello scopo della vita che nessuno è veramente in grado di analizzare e ancor meno descrivere in modo soddisfacente ma semplicemente delle modalità con le quali la vita si organizza e si articola, non facendo sconti a nessuno ma al tempo stesso arrivando, nonostante tutte le contrastanti pressioni dei suoi diversi attori, a una sorta di oggettivo compromesso a favore di tutte le popolazioni e di nessun singolo individuo. La conclusione è una corale preghiera per la conservazione della Natura

"Joaquin Zoido is out and proud of it. And while he knew his dad and sister, Carmen, would be super supportive, he wasn't quite ready for them to surprise him with a queerceaänera, a coming out party to celebrate him. Between all the talks of tastings and venues, and the chirping of his family's RSVP texts, the question of who will be his chambelâan is on everyone's minds. What Joaquin is decidedly trying to not think about is whether his mom is going attend or if she's finally replaced him with her favorite godson, Felix--the boy who made Joaquin realize he was gay and who was his first kiss. But when an impromptu lie snowballs into a full-fledged family-group-chat rumor, every Zoido from Texas to Mexico starts believing that Felix is not only Joaquin's chambelâan but also his brand-new boyfriend.

Yet, as the day draws nearer and old feelings spark anew, Joaquin will have to decide whether a picture-perfect queerceaänera with a fake boyfriend is worth giving up the chance of something real"--
