The phantasmagoria of the universe is not due to its ephemeral nature

 The ego or individual person is a narrative phantom. The individuation of life only occurs at the level of that identity narrative, and it is not even the work of a single individual because the language in which it is elaborated has not been created by him (her). The narrative of the individual person rather expresses some communicative clichés characteristic of a specific space-time community and some learned mental structures (apart from the neurophysiological conditioning of the species). Life-intelligence is never the action of an individual, precisely, the fact that the individual is expendable or exchangeable allows the adaptation and continuity of that life-intelligence.

It is not the time-space impermanence of the individual, the passing character of his existence that makes the world a phantasmagorical representation, but the unidimensionality and the inevitable fragmentation of the representation. One-dimensionality is given by the mental construction of the representation: the mind is a selective function that leaves out everything that is outside the general purpose of life, its self-perpetuation. On the other hand, it is a fragmented representation: science can only project onto the Apeiron the random fragments of knowledge that in the course of time have been feeding its theories.

The ephemeral nature of objects, their deterioration, and change show their mental constitution. We have not yet found objects in the universe that can be considered permanent (final or exomorphic representations) for the simple reason that any mental construct is a ghostly superposition on an 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...

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...
