Transpersonal Philosophy

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...

  The transpersonality of the Soul makes the understanding of what we call "personal identity", the egoic mask narrative, impossible without the understanding of the group identity to which we belong. That is why it is important to know mythopoetics, the symbolic construction of identity of our culture. Myths are transpersonal in social terms (we could say: transocial) , and that is what the concept of "Mythologem", coined by Karl Kerenyi, illustrates. The term designates the common elements in myths belonging to different traditions, like the tales of the Sacred Child, the descent of the hero to the underworld, the marriage of the King-God to the Earth Goddess, and so on. [for more on this see my little essay on mythologems: https://construccionsimbolicaidentidadhumana.blogspot.com/2013/09/what-is-mythologem.html]  The transpersonality of the masks of gods and their actions has produced all kinds of confusion. The superimposition of one myth on anoth...

       We have seen that, according to Zoroastrian mythology, Spenta Armaiti is the mother of Daena. Translated into our own metaphors: our Soul and our Spirit are children, each in their own ontological rank, of the Soul and Spirit of the Earth. This is already found in many different mythologies, in fact, it is a generalized intuition that all of us have when we approach Earth from the perceptual depth of our Tripartite Souls (when we approach Earth from our Xvarnah, the projection link of light or mapping of light of the Soul onto Earth). In the “Path of Beauty”, Daena appears with the Sanskrit name of Purusha, but with the same meaning of “Human Spirit” or “Human Atman”.      Let me now tell you another episode of Zoroastrian myths: the crossing of the Chinvat Bridge. I'm going to reduce the myth to its fundamental elements. The Chinvat Bridge is the threshold that separates life and death. A quick remainder: as we already know, Soul...
