Persona

 

Aprendemos por repetición, pero entendemos por simpatía. La armonía musical, la serie de armónicos, es la expresión de la unidad en la multiplicidad que se produce debido a la resonancia por simpatía. El Recuerdo, el Dhikr del que hablan los sufís es eso: resonancia por simpatía, dejar vibrar, permitir que la vida active la semilla que nuestra alma desea expresar en esta existencia. La máscara de identidad puede entorpecer esa vibración por simpatía.

Como sabéis, la palabra latina “persona” quiere decir, literalmente, la máscara del actor de teatro. Es a través de esa máscara que el actor “hace sonar” su parte en la obra, “per-sonat”, “a través- suena”, pero el actor no es la máscara, y lo sabe.

En los infiernos de las tradiciones Hindú, Jainita y Budista, sus habitantes están absortos por completo en la escena que tienen delante, como el gato fascinado con el ovillo de lana olvida todo a su alrededor, y no recuerdan que llevan puesta la máscara que padece ese infierno. Este hechizo obedece a la Ley Gradual del Olvido que hace posible la existencia Universal de seres separados. La buena noticia es que podemos recordar, aunque la obra de teatro, la tragicomedia de la vida social, siga adelante.

No intentes recordar deliberadamente pues eso supondría que se forma una nueva máscara egoica que intenta recordar. Deja que estas palabras resuenen por simpatía y escucha lo que suena a través de la máscara.

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...

Masks and Ego

  The ego is the force of psychic centroversion, that which establishes points or frames of reference. Without the coordinate point (0,0), we cannot orient ourselves or act. The ego is the force that builds an unlimited number of references, of centers around which different formations of the Soul will appear. In Sanskrit, it is called Ahankara. Aham means “I”, kara is “the process of doing or carrying out”. As a compound word, Ahankara means “the process of making or uttering the ‘I’ ( aham ).” The ego is an action, a force that establishes or says the “I”, that lays a fundamental reference stone with respect to another action. For example, the human organism spontaneously performs the physiological action of seeing, the organ of sight is set in motion automatically, and automatically, a force also appears that assigns another action to the function of vision: the action that says “I ”. The synthesis is “I see.” It also happens in animals, for the acti...

Matriarcal or Uroboric Incest

Let us discuss some basic aspect of ego formation: its appearence out of the uroboric round. The uroboric round is the realm of the primordial waters (you can listen to my Podcast on the Primordial Waters). I really recomend you the book: The Origin s and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann. (Princeton University Press). Neumann was a friend of Jung and member of the Eranos Group. We could understand the appearance of the ego from the unconscious through the myth of the emergence of an island from the primordial waters. Its appearance, however, is not permanent and definitive, especially at the beginning. The tides of the unconscious rise and the island is once again covered by the waters. Only a progressive systematization of consciousness leads to its permanence. To keep consciousness awake, a force of determination is necessary, which requires a display of psychic and physiological energy. For the appearance of consciousness it is necessary to exert an energy that moves...
