A person may be creative or develop some creativity, but inventors may be considered as official creative people.

Dia da Sociedade Teosófica
(Theosophical Society). On 17 November 1875, the Theosophical Society was founded in New York by Russian Helena Petrovna Balavatsky, and the Americans Henry Steel Olcott and William Quan Judge, and few others. Madame Blavatsky was the first Russian woman to be naturalized as an American citizen, and brought spiritual wisdom of the East and that of the ancient Western mysteries to the Modern West. Her writings became the first exposition of what is today known as modern Theosophy.
But theosophy, which may be translated as ‘divine wisdom’, is older. The word ‘theosophy’ was already used by Alexandrian Neo-Platonic philosophers during the 3rd to the 6th century of our era. In course of time, more intellectuals taught theosophy.
According to Vaughan, a theosophist is one who gives you a theory of God or the works of God, which has not revelation, but an inspiration of his own for its basis. At present the theosophical society is active in more than 70 countries. Curiously, the symbol contains the Swastika, Star of David, Ankh, Aum and Ouroboros symbols.

Letra: Medeiros e Albuquerque (1867/1934)
Seja um pálio de luz desdobrado.
Sob a larga amplidão destes céus
Este canto rebel que o passado
Vem remir dos mais torpes labéus!
Seja um hino de glória que fale
De esperança, de um novo porvir!
Com visões de triunfos embale
Quem por ele lutando surgir!
Liberdade! Liberdade!
Abre as asas sobre nós!
Das lutas na tempestade
Dá que ouçamos tua voz!
Nós nem cremos que escravos outrora
Tenha havido em tão nobre País…
Hoje o rubro lampejo da aurora
Acha irmãos, não tiranos hostis.
Somos todos iguais! Ao futuro
Saberemos, unidos, levar
Nosso augusto estandarte que, puro,
Brilha, avante, da Pátria no altar!
Liberdade! Liberdade!
Abre as asas sobre nós!
Das lutas na tempestade
Dá que ouçamos tua voz!
Se é mister que de peitos valentes
Haja sangue em nosso pendão,
Sangue vivo do herói Tiradentes
Batizou este audaz pavilhão!
Mensageiros de paz, paz queremos,
É de amor nossa força e poder
Mas da guerra nos transes supremos
Heis de ver-nos lutar e vencer!
Liberdade! Liberdade!
Abre as asas sobre nós!
Das lutas na tempestade
Dá que ouçamos tua voz!
Do Ipiranga é preciso que o brado
Seja um grito soberbo de fé!
O Brasil já surgiu libertado,
Sobre as púrpuras régias de pé.
Eia, pois, brasileiros avante!
Verdes louros colhamos louçãos!
Seja o nosso País triunfante,
Livre terra de livres irmãos!
Liberdade! Liberdade!
Abre as asas sobre nós!
Das lutas na tempestade
Dá que ouçamos tua voz!

MR-s still exists, but is now considered as a ideological dinosaur. Some years ago, the militant leaders had a reunion with former president Lula. The group has put down their weapons since the comeback of the democracy on 1985.
Virgílio Gomes da Silva was their leader, who was responsible for the kidnap of the ambassador. He was killed, after suffering torture, at the terrain of the notorious OBAN, Operação Bandeirantes (of the military police) in São Paulo. By kidnapping the ambassador, the movement demanded the liberation of fifteen political prisoners. The military junta gave in, and allowed the fifteen prisoners to leave for Mexico by airplane. The ambassador was released on September 7 (Independence Day). The kidnap became a movie: ‘O que é isso, companheiro?’. (‘What’s the deal, comrade?’) and “Hércules 56′ , named after the military plane that transported the fifteen to Mexico.

(Military Police). You might get scared when you encounter the military police officers on the Brazilian streets, as if you have to deal with a military dictatorship. But you may consider these military men (they have completed a basic military training) as your allies. They catch the thieves, they patrol on the streets, provide first aid (they have weekly trainings), control the traffic, maintain order, and assist during mega events. Every Brazilian state has its own military police, with different uniforms. For instance, in Minas Gerais they use khaki colored uniforms, in São Paulo grey, and in Rio de Janeiro the uniform is blue. The first PM corps dates from 1542, in São Vicente (São Paulo). Besides this national PM day, almost every state has its own PM day.

Paulista, pára um só instante Dos teus quatro séculos ante A tua terra sem fronteiras, O teu São Paulo das “bandeiras”!
Deixa atrás o presente: Olha o passado à frente!
Vem com Martim Afonso a São Vicente! Galga a Serra do Mar! Além, lá no alto, Bartira sonha sossegadamente Na sua rede virgem do Planalto. Espreita-a entre a folhagem de esmeralda; Beija-lhe a Cruz de Estrelas da grinalda! Agora, escuta! Aí vem, moendo o cascalho, Botas-de-nove-léguas, João Ramalho. Serra-acima, dos baixos da restinga, Vem subindo a roupeta De Nóbrega e de Anchieta.
Contempla os Campos de Piratininga! Este é o Colégio.
Adiante está o sertão. Vai! Segue a entrada! Enfrenta! Avança! Investe!
Norte – Sul – Este – Oeste, Em “bandeira” ou “monção”, Doma os índios bravios.
Rompe a selva, abre minas, vara rios; No leito da jazida Acorda a pedraria adormecida; Retorce os braços rijos E tira o ouro dos seus esconderijos!
Bateia, escorre a ganga, Lavra, planta, povoa. Depois volta à garoa!
E adivinha através dessa cortina, Na tardinha enfeitada de miçanga,
A sagrada Colina Ao Grito do Ipiranga! Entreabre agora os véus!
Do cafezal, Senhor dos Horizontes, Verás fluir por plainos, vales, montes, Usinas, gares, silos, cais, arranha-céus!
