What social person writes this text?

 What social person writes this text? On the one hand, there is the philosopher, a mind of about two thousand five hundred years who repeats the explanations that have been given to the problems of ontology, selecting the perspectives that are more in conformity with an evolutionary variation of transcendental idealism that incorporates axioms of oriental philosophies (Vedanta, Sufism, Taoism, Zen). It is a "transcendental self" (in Husserl's sense) incapable of emptying itself due to the very demands of the act of writing. This is a subtle self but just as ignorant as other more visible ones. On the other hand, there is the person of the lyrical citizen, whose antiquity exceeds that of the philosopher by more than a thousand years. The lyrical citizen is the metaphysical social person that arises as a negation of any social-economic person and proclaims a sphere of individuality independent of any neurophysiological and social conditioning. He/she is the person we develop regardless of any action, what we feel like our most intimate and genuine being. The lyrical citizen is the foundation of the narratives of immortality that have their origin in the city and its great religions, a narrative that is fused in our days with the psychological narratives that occur in the spheres of aesthetic experience and art. It is not the "I am", but a personal idealization based on a more or less clear self-perception of a witness of the other egos or social persons that we act.

  The philosopher's narrative is sterile and refers to the very mental network that philosophy has created in its temporary evolution. That is, it only deepens samsara and loses us in the endless speculation that entertains the mind with the bone of its own origin and identity. It is basically mere objective ignorance and must be forgotten once it has been read as a casing for something contained in the other narrative, that of the lyrical citizen. The reflective narration of the transcendental philosopher nevertheless provides a perfume of joy and clarity that, although not for the mind, makes it more transparent. In the narrative of the lyrical citizen, on the other hand, a sincere longing is expressed under the guise of a seeking ego that feeds an inevitable lack. You should only take the longing, or rather, what that longing points to, and forget everything else. If we don't, we develop a subtle character who thinks he has come to some form of understanding, a ghostly transcendental witness. Beyond the observer and the observed, there is observing, an impersonal action, a movement of life-intelligence.

"I know nothing" begins the song.

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...
