To be here


 
  The fundamental primitive determination of the mythico-ritual axis of the human law is the declaration of being here and now. I am here and you are here; everything else has to be understood from such statements and accommodate to its emotional topology. It is an ontology of vitalism and adventure, of open roads and new beginnings, thus, of dangers, though also of fulfillments: the past has to come to meet us right here, now, mute gods have to make way for an endless desire of communication. I talk to thee and thus I narrate my identity. We are here, detached from kin and lineage, our only line is the horizon, and living so we honor the ancestors, and give them room in the new temple of the genetic code, together with bacteria, plants and beautiful animals. Prophets, Saints, Messiahs and Gods don’t live here, but we do, HERE…NOW... The dreams of the past cannot be our present nightmares, they won’t be.
   To be here is to be precarious, an outcast from the universal law, for such is to be human, and much more. There was no bravery before the human law. There were madness and wild hormones, there were tales of otherworldliness to lull the fears, to trick you down, but not brave hearts facing meaninglessness and error and mistake. For the universal law, to be is to be there and later, and other, i.e. Gods.

  The reaction against universal law is over: ancestors and constellations are very well where they are, no need them closer or farther. We are simply here and now, singing our myths, meeting our limits and outgrowing them, for beyond the human law extends the untamed strength of life-intelligence…

Limen et Continuum

  Existence is Encounter. Meeting at the limen. In the limen, the masks disappear, that is, the basic intuitions of identities, such as the identity that I feel and think in relation to the tree that I see in front of me. The identity of the tree is a projection of mine: the unity of my process of perceiving the tree generates a mask in me, the ghost of a limited unity separated from everything else. The simplest form of intuitive understanding of masks and limen is given to us by numbers. Numbers intuitively express the liminal tension that is Existence. A little etymological note. Rythmos in Greek means flow. Arythmos (number) is what does not flow, what remains solidified. Numbers express the liminoid, and flow, rhythm, expresses the liminal. A rhythm becomes liminoid when we can trace patterns in it, that is, when we can construct masks of identities. Mathematics has spoken of flow using the Latin word “continuum”, the continuous. All modern science, since Leibni...

What is Mythopoetics?

  The narrative grew in the process of being told, as myths always do. The Blog has become more labyrinthine over the years. It contains my Mythopoetics book and a few other things. For those who access these texts without knowing anything about Mythopoetics, I am going to post the introduction of the first part, so you can decide if you want to spend your precious time thinking about the identity narratives that we humans have developed over the years. throughout our eventful existence as a species. "Mythological narratives are the only intellectual activity that has been continuously practiced by human beings, a fact that makes them a unique tool for thinking synthetically our evolution as homo-sapiens. In this sense, they are the first valuation settings that humans have made about themselves and their environment, and as such, they have conditioned the ones that have come afterwards, both in form and content. Their communicative function places them at the basis o...

An Epistemological Perspective of Individuation

For the ancient Romans, "Terminus" was the god of boundaries, represented as large stones used to divide and delimit fields. Festivals were held, called Terminalia, in which the stones that "generated" human space were sanctified. Our word "term" is the heir of that god, or better, it is that god incorporated into an everyday space, in our Lebenswelt or world of life. A philosophical term, whatever its semantic content, is the conceptual mark that we make by establishing a referential sign, it is the action of determining, of generating a reference in a mental space, a reference with which we make a sign correspond, or if we deal with a physical space, the correspondence with an object, be it a milestone, a stone, or an indicator sign. Since its beginnings, philosophy has used binary semantic terms as thinking tools, something that analytical psychology has also made good use of. One of the longest-running binary semantic terms for psychology...
