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...

Ritual, Scientific Experiment and Truth

 Human rituals have their roots in animal behavior, and the animal pattern has its roots in the need for repetition of living organisms, in the cyclical structure of physiological actions. At the human level, ritual behavior involves a delimitation of space and time, as well as a different meaning of both with respect to the spaces and times of everyday experience. From the ritual ceremonies of cold societies, we observe the care and thoroughness of the shaman to determine with precision the spaces, times and elements that intervene in the rite. Sacred space delimits the world, not only as a place of action, but also the scope of meaning of the things contained in that space. It is a space loaded with meaning: there is an order in things. Time itself acquires its meaning in relation to this order of things, and cyclically closes the space in the “tempo” of the rite, a tempo that is a symbol of the tempo of the World. What is not in the rite or is not referable to the rite has no re...

What do we marry?

  The narrative tradition of India contains true gems of fantastic literature that give rise to the most entertaining ethical and metaphysical speculations. In the collection of stories from the 11th century Katha-Sarit-Sagara ( The Ocean that Contains Streams of Stories ), which collects traditional stories from India, the loquacious ghost of a corpse taken down from a gallows tells the king who took him off the macabre swing a very interesting tragicomic tale. Two friends undertook a pilgrimage to a sacred spa of the goddess Kali, and there they saw a beautiful girl. One of them fell ill with passion, stopped eating and sleeping, and was sure that he would die unless he could have that girl as his wife. His friend contacted her father and explained the situation. The father, hurriedly, went to the girl's parents in order to organize the wedding. Shortly after the hasty marriage, the young couple and her friend left for her parents' house. On the way, they ca...
