Aquí y ahora


  Aquí y ahora es la apertura en nuestra atención, la focalización sin objeto, el dejar ser, sin intenciones, fines o planes. Aquí y ahora la mente reposa sobre la vida-inteligencia (conciencia) que le da forma, y la vida-inteligencia se yergue sobre su silencio fundamental, mostrándose como acción sin fin, una fantasmagoría misteriosa desbordante de energía. Sobre el apeiron de la materia, la mente superpone las representaciones de un extraño y maravilloso espejismo. El apeiron las sostiene en su efímero espectáculo para un misterioso espectador: Yo, tan efímero como el espectáculo. Aquí y ahora no es el pasado, ni la proyección del pasado que llamamos futuro, ni el recuerdo automático que llamamos presente. Aquí y ahora ni la presencia del yo soy toma forma en el tiempo. El yo soy se transfigura en luz, los objetos deshacen sus superposiciones sobre la materia en pura luz: ya no hay ni rosa, ni moléculas, ni átomos, ni quarks...La luz es pétalo perfumado, el pétalo es un relámpago de alegría. La luz que vemos y la luz que ve (la conciencia del espectador, la atención espontánea de la vida-inteligencia) son la misma luz. Los dioses se retiran ante el misterio del aquí y ahora, los dioses no pueden ser aquí y ahora, ni el yo que escribe tiene espacio-tiempo en ese profundo seno. Aquí, la necesidad de un sentido se rinde y entrega su adamantina persistencia.
Algo habla. Apoyado sobre algo que  no es habla. El silencio del ahora abre un más transparente silencio.

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...

Metalanguages are formal metaphors

  In a logic class, the professor tells his students: "Yesterday, while talking with my Sufi gardener about happiness, we ended up talking about metalanguages, because he said that orchids are 'chambers where light plays between amorous encounters.' I told him: 'You have to be a poet to talk about poetry.' He replied: 'You just have to be human.'" In what way can we say that my gardener is proposing that every metalanguage is a formalized metaphor for its object language and what would be the metaphor for arithmetical addition? Furthermore” -he asks-how does this little narrative show that Kurt Gödel was a Platonist? One student answers: “The gardener uses orchids as a metaphor for biological reproduction, and from this he makes a second-order metaphor at the human level, calling reproduction a loving encounter. The gardener is a Sufi; in Sufi ontology, the word 'encounter' is used as equivalent to 'existence,' a double meaning (Wujud)....

Rhapsodies of Anima Mundi: Fear of Death

In the nascent dawn of consciousness, when the human spirit still danced in rhythmic harmony with the grand, elemental pulse of nature, the enigma of cessation—that profound silence we name death—arose as the most formidable of shadows. Yet, it was not then perceived as an absolute, terminal end in the stark, isolated sense we often conceive today. For those early societies, intimately imbricated in the vast and primordial canvas of the Anima Mundi, death was seamlessly woven into the very ur-tapestry of existence as a continuity, a fluid dissolution into the great soul of the world, or a joyous return to a collective paradise, utterly devoid of the strict, solitary individuation that modernity has, unwittingly, imposed upon us. This is not merely the clinical apprehension of biological cessation, but rather a primordial panic before the void, a visceral anguish in the face of the "I's" dissolution and the potential loss of all that imbues life with meaning. Confronted...
