La fantasmagoría del universo no se debe a su carácter efímero


El ego o persona individual es un fantasma narrativo. La individuación de la vida, sólo ocurre a nivel de esa narración de identidad, y ni siquiera es obra de un sólo individuo pues el lenguaje en el que la elabora no ha sido creado por él, es más expresa unos clichés comunicativos característicos de un espacio-tiempo determinado, unas estructuras mentales comunitarias y aprendidas (aparte del condicionamiento neurofisiológico de la especie). La vida-inteligencia no es nunca la acción de un individuo, precisamente el hecho de que el individuo es prescindible o recambiable permite la adaptación y la continuidad de esa vida-inteligencia.
No es la impermanencia espacio-temporal del individuo, el carácter pasajero de su existencia lo que hace del mundo una representación fantasmagórica, sino la unidimensionalidad y la inevitable fragmentación de la representación. La unidimensionalidad viene dada por la construcción mental de la representación: la mente es una función selectiva que deja fuera todo lo que está fuera del propósito general de la vida, su autoperpetuación. Por otro lado, es una representación fragmentada: la ciencia sólo puede proyectar sobre el apeiron los azarosos fragmentos de conocimiento que en el discurrir de los tiempos han ido alimentando sus teorías.
El carácter efímero de los objetos, su deterioro y cambio muestran su constitución mental. Aún no hemos encontrado objetos en el universo que puedan ser considerados permanentes (representaciones finales o exomórficas) por la simple razón de que cualquier construcción mental es una superposición fantasmagórica sobre un apeiron.

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...
