"It remains to write the history of mankind Sleeping
"The Counter" from "La Vanguardia" Victor-M. AMELA - 13/11/2010
I have 56 years. I was born in Madrid and I live in Vilaür (Girona). I'm an editor and writer. I am married to Inka Martí. I have two twentysomething sons, James and Brianda. Politics? Skeptical. Tell me what you mean by God and I will tell you if I believe or not. Sleep is a second life, atendámosla
What is otherness? opaque zone reality, ignored by rational thought. The phenomena that escape the Cartesian reason.
What phenomena?
The dream, for example, without dreams, the reality is incomplete!
But the reality ... is reality, right?
Nothing more slippery than reality! Today we know that 99.99% of reality ... is empty. We can touch, weigh, measure ... is only part of reality.
... But dreams are dreams.
are actually weighing in human evolution: the historians have written the history of humanity wakes up, waking, daytime history ... but we can write the history of sleeping humanity, of dreams, the story night!
Why?
To understand the reality: perhaps you would understand that a leaf had beam but not back? "If you see gathered all the dreams people of an era, we get a picture of the spirit of that period, "said Hegel ...
And where does the story begin? First
cuneifoirme tablet: it explains a dream taught Ashurbanipal troops how to attain a military victory ...
Times were different mentality ...
General Patton during the Second World War, dictated tactics suggested provisions for their dreams! Me interested in this phenomenon, this pattern repeats itself ...
Do dreams make military history?
And Music: Handel's complete works, Brahms, Wagner, Mozart ... Compound appeared to them entirely in dreams!
"Is that in the history of literature?
In a scene dreamed by Stevenson left his immortal tale of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde ... And the same happens among scientists: Kepler orbits dreamed elliptical of the planets, and Kekule in a dream saw the molecular structure of benzene, y. ..
Well, what does all this teach us?
That the universe is a psychophysical reality! Everything is interconnected. We live in a revolving door between sleep and thinking, coming and going. "Sleep is a second life," said the poet Gerard de Nerval. In Greece was paying close attention: possessed temples of dreams ...
What was a temple of dreams?
Sanatoriums dream incubation. Followed certain practices of mental and physical purification, melodies, plays and dances, certain foods ... and if you knew the priests prepared, we played the party, I lay on the skin of slaughtered animals and tanned for you .. . Asclepion and slept in the temple of Asclepius!
The god of medicine, right?
You had a dream healing or enlightening. This is practiced in caves and Asia Minor. Sanatoriums were psychophysical conditions, and they worked a thousand years ... For something would be ...
Would it work today?
If you accept that the day is as illusory as night and night as surely as day, yeah! "The spirit and the body communicate with each other their destinations," Montaigne understood. But rationalism has neglected this ..., and that encouraged a dream Descartes found the rationalism!
No!
rationalism had its Pentecost!: Descartes decided to watch the world from his right ... and that night he had three dreams: one was a book entitled What path should I follow in life?, And consolidated its purpose.
sobering story.
rationalism taught us the autonomy of reason, and that is fine ..., but at a high price!: Tore the world as inanimate mechanism, separate from me.
Should we reintegrate?
Illuminate what reason is left in the shade, and that will enrich us! Sensed so wise as Jung and Pauli.
postulated What?
There is no separation between the physical and psychological. An emotion or a dream they have physical correspondences: dream of a bird, and in the morning a bird enters your house ...!
premonitory dreams "? Several dreams
President Lincoln announced his murder. And they also had such dreams Nietzsche, Mark Twain, Graham Greene ... There!
And how do we explain this phenomenon?
"The same phenomenon is the theory," said Goethe, and I agree: I am interested in the phenomenon, irrefutable. Interpretations ... are diverse and always debatable.
Tell me one.
Aborigines Australian talk of a "dream time" in which everything - past and future, while cohabiting, and where you can enter and exit. Just saw Dunne.
Dunne Who?
oneironauts One of the largest that have been: people who have navigated their dreams, who scored ... The most colossal was Saint-Denys, scored his dreams for 1,946 nights, and even managed to thoroughly explore them from within, and change them.
"Write you your dreams?
I pay attention, yes, can help a lot, enlighten our lives day!
say that dream is to die a little ...
To the Greeks was a preparatory exercise, yes. Hypno dwellings and Thanatos were neighbors in hell ...: sleep is the home similar to death that every night we went peacefully to close the lids. To live in otherness.
Under the eyelids
time seems to stop at Mas Pou, in the Empordà countryside. From this location - near the caduceus of the Greek god Asclepius Empúries Pyrenean and monasteries that preserved the culture of the ancient Mediterranean, "James Siruela and Inka Marti dream. His dream takes the form of suggesting books that explore the fertile frontier of Western thought, the most advanced, which is what is rediscovering what we already knew: matter and energy, body and spirit, cosmos and psyche are not separable. In The world under the eyelids (Atalanta), James Siruela reveals the continuing importance of sleep in human history: read it instills yearnings to dream ...
