The Karman necessity or freedom? This evening I returned from a conference. Title "The psychological significance of Karman. Argomento impegnativo. Devo dire, e chi mi conosce lo sa, che diffido sempre delle trattazioni semplicistiche in seno a concetti e ad argomentazioni che appartengono a culture "altre". Troppo spesso prendiamo a prestito concetti che non contestualizziamo dandone una nostra chiave di lettura e, quel che è peggio, senza dichiararlo. Da qui nascono i chakra aperti e chiusi, le auree luminose e nere (neanche fossimo tutti delle lucine di Natale!).
Non dico che non ci sia un patrimonio di conoscenza nelle culture che ho definito "altre", io stessa ricerco da anni su questo sentiero, mi piacerebbe che non fossero però trasformate in fenomeni da circo. Ci siamo talmente abituati a questo modo di inventare che ci crediamo well ...
Well the discussion tonight, I must say, was not bad. But it left me puzzled the final revisions. Most of the audience was absolutely focused on the past, the pain of the past and had to pull in not only their own cause, not just the two most recent past life, but also of the ancestors and the ancestors of the ancestors. Here ... the myth of Western karma. Our way of doing absolutely freudianissimo retrospective on everything, let's face it, weep for him. But try to ask one east of the past (I speak of course of an Oriental, somehow, is close to the wisdom traditions because even the myth of East I would have something to say!) will tell you that the only time worth living is the here and now.
So what? Maybe we should do, if I may, a bit 'of order and clarity to this karma.
Every culture since the dawn of time, has created his own personal myth about the death in an attempt to respond to a painful event or, even better, to find any educational purpose of pain in human life. I would like to present here a song that moves me always written by a great scholar of Indian myths and that is very close to my feeling: : "... maybe I just congenital affinity with the Hindu myths, aroused in me spontaneous attraction. However I found that I could understand the death of my father in terms of Hindu mythology about death and evil ... I came to think first and then to feel in harmony with the theory of karma. The theory of karma tells us that we have lived other lives, that our soul had other bodies. But how can we feel, as well as intellectually accept the reality of these other lives, if we fail to remember it? ... Remember something that we can not remember a distant past, thanks to the power of invisible traces left in our souls by those events, the Indians call these tracks scents (vasanas). The theory of karma tells us that we have lived lives that we can not remember and therefore can not hear. The essays can imagine the lives of others, and so live them, and the essays are rare. But for those of us who lack the imagination that allows you to feel the infinity of time in our lives, it may be possible to perceive the infinite space of our human lives. Again, the Indian texts tell us that we are bound to karmically all the other people in the world: they are us ... then I heard that all the things you want or do you want to be there in 'eternity had been there forever and ever, since there was human life on Earth. They were like beautiful rooms in which anyone could enter, and when I had not been unable to get in, yet would still be there. They were part of the time, and although they could not be part of me for a long time, a part of me would always be in them. Something I would stay in the things that I loved, like the smell or the smell of pipe that tell us that someone else has already been in that room before us ... Maybe, since they are not Hindus, this is the closest approach that I granted the belief that I can remember of my previous lives: remembering the lives of others as my life. And maybe it's a close enough. " From" The myths of others, "Wendy Doniger
Well, tonight I leave you wishing you good night but I will continue with a few thoughts more on the next post.
know your opinion, of course, I am very interested.
