Mi identidad no es personal


La persona es discontinua, es una narración de la memoria psicológica, ni siquiera una narración de los estados del cuerpo, salvo aquellos liminales en los que precisamente la persona desaparece: momentos de gran gozo o dolor. El hecho de que yo pueda estar aquí y ahora siendo sin necesidad de apelar a ninguna memoria ni hacer ninguna narración, muestra la hoja en blanco sobre la que la persona escribe su narración de identidad. Esa hoja es el Atman, el “yo soy”. Cuando vivimos en la persona sólo prestamos atención al texto que escribe tal persona. Cuando la persona desaparece, que da el Atman a la vista y somos eso. Cuando somos Atman sin persona vivimos en la plenitud. Todos los días estamos ahí inadvertidamente, como cuando hemos cumplido un deseo y aún no hemos proyectado el siguiente, o entre dos pensamientos, o cuando la percepción nos toma y absorbe por completo. La continuidad que experimentamos en nuestra existencia se debe al soporte sobre el que construimos nuestras narraciones de identidad. Esa continuidad es la que da unidad a lo que de manera contradictoria llamo mi vida, pues es una continuidad que no está fundamentada en ninguna de las personas sociales que han ido apareciendo a lo largo de la existencia de este organismo neurofisiológico que he identificado equivocadamente con su soporte, el Atman. Mi fundamento como ser individual no es nada individual. Sobre esa forma de energía no-individual, no-personal, el Atman, se han superpuesto narraciones cuya factura corresponde al funcionamiento autónomo del cerebro de mi cuerpo, que ha ido ordenando memorias conforme a propósitos de supervivencia de las distintas personas psicológicas.

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...

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...

Shamans and the development of Social Masks

  The growing dissociation of new social persons (social masks) from a single primitive mask that brings them together occurs due to the specialization processes that require increasingly complex economic actions. From the mask of the shaman, compatible with the masks of man or woman, but not with the child mask, unfold the social masks of the founding hero, the priest (priestess), the poet, or depositary of narrative memory, the doctor, the meteorology controller, and even the holy king. The shamanic powers are either the result of a search or of a spontaneous happening within a human lineage, which from the point of view of the professionalism of the economic action of shamanism is irrelevant, since it is the work of a specialist for communication with the Anima Mundi. In fact, the lineage transmission of social persons is not exclusive to shamanic professional practice. The shaman is not an individual person any more than the social person of the old man can be. I...
