Translate those words and you get rhe meaning that allow you to die in peace.... Don't believe in anything and don't hope for anything and free yourself from any metaphysical thought, your life is too short and your existence too small to make the difference you want to make to fulfill your ego. Let your vibrations make a difference to this irrational world. The world is wise and soon or later it will embrace you and integrate your thoughts as long as your vibrations make the evolution dance. The mistakes and what would be right for today may be processed through 'us' people in the near future. When the sun goes down and the darkness reigns again your thoughts will come alive like angels that will spray your spirit into that...

When you search for places to visit in Heraklion, you come across this place. I've read the works of Nikos Kazantzakis and I think he's a great writer, but I don't know why tourists come to Heraklion to visit someone's grave. After visiting the graffiti-filled streets of Lakkos, we were close to here and thought it would be a walk, we decided to take a look. We went up to the hill.

There is nothing around. There is no facility where you can drink coffee. There is no impressive sight. Only Kazantzakis has a tomb. If you want to visit the tomb in private, go, otherwise it's a place you...

Looking for a contemplative space to meditate on the human condition? Well step right in for a dose of introspection. “I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.” If you’re inclined to understand the great man’s words take a seat in this leafy fortress top. Look out towards the open sea, let your mind wander over this city’s profoundly ugly cityscape and get the answers you seek. If his name or his work mean nothing to you, avoid this place. But if you’re curious, read his words. He truly was one of the greats. P.S. Don’t let the cross fool you, the man was a spiritual atheist, to...

Ο τάφος του σπουδαίου Κρητικού συγγραφέα Νίκου Καζαντζάκη (1883-1957) βρίσκεται στο ψηλότερο σημείο των Τειχών του Ηρακλείου, τον προμαχώνα Μαρτινένγκο , έχοντας πανοραμική θέα στην άχαρη, αλλά τόσο ιστορική, τσιμεντούπολη του Ηρακλείου. Τα έργα του «ο Τελευταίος Πειρασμός», «ο Χριστός ξανασταυρώνεται» και «Καπετάν Μιχάλης» χαρακτηρίστηκαν «αντιχριστιανικά» και «ιερόσυλα» και είχαν φέρει την εκκλησία πολύ κοντά στον αφορισμό του συγγραφέα το 1955. Ο αφορισμός δεν έγινε ποτέ, αλλά η Εκκλησία της Ελλάδος ζήτησε την απαγόρευση κυκλοφορίας των βιβλίων. Ο Νίκος Καζαντζάκης πέθανε από λευχαιμία στις 26 Οκτωβρίου 1957 στη Γερμανία. Αρχικά, όταν η σορός έφτασε στην Αθήνα στις 4 Νοεμβρίου ο αρχιεπίσκοπος Αθηνών Θεόκλητος δεν έδωσε άδεια να τεθεί η σωρός του σε λαϊκό προσκύνημα σε ναό των Αθηνών. Έτσι έμεινε στο νεκροτομείο έως την επιστροφή στην πατρίδα του την Κρήτη. Στις 5 Νοεμβρίου, η σορός τέθηκε σε λαϊκό προσκύνημα στον ιερό ναό του Αγίου Μηνά. Την επόμενη ημέρα το πρωί τελέστηκε η νεκρώσιμη ακολουθία υπό τον Μητροπολίτη Κρήτης Ευγένιο και υπό την παρουσία του Υπουργού Παιδείας Γεροκοστόπουλου, ενώ παράλληλα έξω από τον ναό, φανατικοί έκαιγαν εφημερίδες και φώναζαν. Η σορός μεταφέρθηκε στην τελευταία κατοικία του Καζαντζάκη, τον προμαχώνα του Μαρτινέγκο, συνοδεία τεράστιου πλήθους. Ο τάφος του είναι λιτός με ένα ξύλινο σταυρό και μια πλάκα με χαραγμένη τη διάσημη φράση που έγραψε ο ίδιος: ”Δεν ελπίζω τίποτε. Δεν φοβάμαι τίποτε. Είμαι ελεύθερος”.
