Transpersonal Philosophy

  All those who begin to walk along the so-called spiritual paths hear to talk about the concept of “enlightenment” from very early on. It is identified both with a particular psychological state of a person and with a process that that person carries out with greater or lesser efforts. Psychological states are states of our Tripartite Soul, not states of “I Am.” The “I Am” is always what it is, it does not become anything in particular although nothing is without the “I Am”. What does enlightenment consist of?” Allow me to clarify another more fundamental question: “Who is enlightened?” The answer is simple: the ego is illuminated. Let's clarify this. If enlightenment is a process or a state of our Soul, when we create an intellectual image of that state, we are creating a narrative of that particular state, and we will give one description or another, but using conceptual representations, which are always the result of an egoic action of centroversion of the organis...

  Todos los que comienzan a caminar por las llamadas sendas espirituales escuchan desde muy pronto el concepto de “iluminación”. Se identifica tanto con un estado psicológico de una persona como con un proceso que esa persona lleva a cabo con mayores o menores esfuerzos. Los estados psicológicos son estados de nuestra Alma Tripartita, no estados del “Yo Soy”. El “Yo Soy” es siempre lo que es, no llega a ser nada en particular aunque nada es sin “Yo Soy”. ¿En qué consiste la iluminación?”, permitidme que aclare otra pregunta más fundamental: “¿quién se ilumina?”. La respuesta es sencilla: se ilumina el ego. Aclaremos esto. Si la iluminación es un proceso o un estado de nuestra Alma, cuando creamos una imagen intelectiva de ese estado, estamos creando una narrativa de ese estado, y daremos una descripción u otra, pero usando representaciones conceptuales, que son siempre el resultado de una acción de centroversión egoica del organismo. Tu Alma se ilumina, pero el “...

  I have explained duality in the second chapter of "Path of Beauty." Its understanding is easier from the understanding of the three dimensions of the Tripartite Soul. Luis has asked me to talk about Spinozist Pantheism in relation to duality. Spinoza's work has profound ramifications not only in the philosophical tradition but also in mysticism. Spinoza is one of the favorite philosophers of contemporary physicists (partly thanks to the fact that he was Einstein's favorite philosopher) because his understanding of the Universe as a Great Rational Entity gives an ontological foundation to all the work of Philosophy and Science. Natural. I do not think this is the place to discuss Spinoza's ontology, since the purpose of this Blog and this group is not academic philosophy. For this reason, I am going to give a few glimpses about the connection between Pantheism and Panpsychism, hoping that these rhapsodic notes fertilize the psychic soil ...
