Schizophrenia and the plane of Human Law

 

The psychology of the plane of Human Law, contemporary scientific psychology, continues to be incapable of creating integrated meaning for human life, nor of developing alternative narratives of immortality, a mythical-ritual space that is partly covered by monetary metaphysics , which finds in the old accounts of debt and guilt a perfect complement to their general transactional postulates. The revitalization produced follows more the cosmopolitan model of Hellenism, in which mysteries and private cults flourished, a slightly more lyrical dimension of the old metaphysical stories of immortality in which less personal forms of divinity are adopted, whether they are Platonic, pantheists, or Anima Mundi, more compatible with the degree of symbolic abstraction of scientific physical determinations, with which a partial harmonization is sought. However, such harmonization is only feasible at the price of schizophrenia , with a separation of the realms of economic and primitive determinations that can only be mediated monetarily. Whereas the primitive determinations of the mixed axes of postmodernism resolve the meaning of human life again in a transcendental ideal environment, science offers a primitive determination of the physical environment openly contradictory in traditional emotional terms, in which the cosmos is, at the same time, a hostile nature and an orderly place. Physics represents a universe that does not favor the formation and permanence of complex life, as we observe in the Standard Model, but at the same time, it is a universe that follows a more or less mysterious law (that physics is always about to finally unravel), from which we hope to obtain corollaries that reaffirm our general economic identity narratives. This ambiguous representation is congruent and consistent with the more archaic blueprints of the King-God and universal law, in which salvation (the creation of meaning for existence) depends on the revelation and grace of this power in which we have hypostatized. our fears and symbolic limitations.

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...

Metalanguages are formal metaphors

  In a logic class, the professor tells his students: "Yesterday, while talking with my Sufi gardener about happiness, we ended up talking about metalanguages, because he said that orchids are 'chambers where light plays between amorous encounters.' I told him: 'You have to be a poet to talk about poetry.' He replied: 'You just have to be human.'" In what way can we say that my gardener is proposing that every metalanguage is a formalized metaphor for its object language and what would be the metaphor for arithmetical addition? Furthermore” -he asks-how does this little narrative show that Kurt Gödel was a Platonist? One student answers: “The gardener uses orchids as a metaphor for biological reproduction, and from this he makes a second-order metaphor at the human level, calling reproduction a loving encounter. The gardener is a Sufi; in Sufi ontology, the word 'encounter' is used as equivalent to 'existence,' a double meaning (Wujud)....
