El s’mbolo de Dulcinea/Gaia: English>
En los
"esp’ritus sensibles", aquellos que est‡n ÒdespertandoÓ o pueden
ÒdespertarÓ, habitualmente, sus ÒemocionesÓ son comœnmente utilizadas,
manipuladas por terceros. Lo que debiera ser el "pathos"(¹ατοσ= la pasi—n, sendero,
camino) es "atra’do", "distra’do" (como dir’a Tomas
Merton), por distintos centros de gravedad EXTERNOS a nosotros mismos :
"ideolog’as", Òcampa–as pol’ticasÓ, ÒMiedosÓ, etc. que, para aprovechar
la energ’a del alma humana hacen uso de cualesquier Òcausa justaÓ. TambiŽn son
atra’das por identificaci—n con ÒyoesÓ internos, como "me siento malÓ,
tengo "c—lera", tengo "pena", estoy "triste", o
"estoy alegre", producidos por nuestras propias "asociaciones"
subjetivas internas. La Novela de Caballer’a, y el "amor cortesano"
de los inicios del Renacimiento, la "Alquimia" de aquellas Žpocas,
esa otra Žpoca de cambio y Apocalipsis (Ἀ¹οκάλυψις= Revelaci—n de lo
Alto), NOS PROVEE DE UNA HERRAMIENTA, DE UNA "CLAVE", de una
"tŽcnica" que EVITA QUE NUESTRA ENERGêA VITAL, nuestra
"l’bido" sea consumida, sea absorbida, tragada, por cualquier evento
EXTERNO a nosotros, imaginario e interno o supuestamente "REAL" y externo.
Por m‡s JUSTIFICADO e incluso "ALTRUISTA" que Žste sea. No voy a "salvar" a
ninguna humanidad sin antes "salvarme" a m’ mismo (y la raz—n me
dicta que si creo que debo hacerlo antes debo poseer la energ’a suficiente yo
mismo). Esta CLAVE, esta tŽcnica, este "truco" de aquŽl Mago
del Tar—t, es aquŽl que emple— el QUIJOTE: ƒl se estableci— una META, un
OBJETIVO ÒqueridoÓ para sus emociones, las que no ser’an dirigidas hacia fuera,
por nada ni por nadie, sino por aquella elegida por el Hidalgo Caballero, con
el prop—sito de mantener su coraz—n abierto, no cerrado:ÇSe cree, que en un
lugar cerca del suyo hab’a una moza labradora de muy buen parecer, de quien Žl
un tiempo anduvo enamorado, aunque, segœn se entiende, ella jam‡s lo supo ni le
dio cuenta de ello.È ÇLlam‡base Aldonza Lorenzo, y a Žsta le pareci— ser bien
darle t’tulo de se–ora de sus pensamientos; y, busc‡ndole nombre que no
desdijese mucho del suyo y que tirase y se encaminase al de princesa y gran
se–ora, vino a llamarla 'Dulcinea del Toboso' porque era natural del Toboso:
nombre, a su parecer, musical, peregrino y significativo, como todos los dem‡s
que a Žl y a sus cosas hab’a puesto.ÈAl elegir este "pat—s", este
"intento" indeclinable e insustituible, esta caballeresca empresa,
este hiero gamos (ἱερὸς γάμος, ἱερογαμία) devolv’a la creaci—n
del mundo, la manifestaci—n del "logos" hasta sus dos componentes
iniciales, Ad‡n y Eva, retrotrayŽndolos, en su aventura, hasta retornar al
"pardes"(para’so) original.
The symbol of Dulcinea/Gaia:
In those
"sensitive spirits", those who are ÒawakeningÓ or may ÒawakeÓ,
emotions are commonly utilized, manipulated by third parties. What it should be
the "pathos" (¹ατοσ = passion, road, path) is
"attracted", "distracted" (as Thomas Merton would say), by different
centers of gravity external to ourselves: "ideologies", Òpolitical
campaignsÓ, ÒfearsÓ, etc.
Ingeniously "produced" in order to take the power, making use
of any Òfair causeÓ. These also got identified with the several ÒegosÓ as
"I am feeling bad", I feel "anger", I am "sad",
or "I am happy", produced by our own subjective internal
"associations". The Novel of Cavalry, and the "courtly
love" of the early Renaissance, the "Alchemy" of those epochs,
that other epoch of change and Apocalypse (Ἀ¹οκάλυψις = Revelation from
above), PROVIDES OF A TOOL, A KEY ", of a" technique "that
impedes OUR VITAL ENERGY, our" libido " to be consumed, absorbed,
swallowed, by any EXTERNAL event to us, imaginary and internal or
supposedly" real " and external. It does not matter how JUSTIFIED or
even "ALTRUISTIC" that this may be. I will not "save" any
humanity without first "saving myself" (and reason tells me that if I
think I should do it before I must possess enough energy myself).
This key, this
technique, this "trick" of that Mage (Μαγοσ) of Tarot, is the
one that used the QUIXOTE in order to keep his heart "open" and not
closed: He established a GOAL, a TARGET, a Òmost dearÓ object for his emotions,
which would not be directed away by anything or anyone, but by that one chosen
by the Hidalgo Caballero himself:
"It is
believed that in a place near his own there was a working girl of very good
opinion, whom he had once been in love with, although, as it is understood, she
never knew him or [in some editions] accounted for.
She was called
Aldonza Lorenzo, and it seemed to him that it was well to give her the title of
mistress of her thoughts; And, looking for a name that he did not throw away
much of his own, and that he would throw himself and go to that of a princess and
a great lady, he came to call her 'Dulcinea del Toboso', because it was a
native name of El Toboso: a musical one, pilgrim and meaningful, as all the
others that he and his things had set. "
By choosing this
"pathos", this irreplaceable and indeclinable "Intent",
this chivalrous enterprise, this hiero gamos (ἱερὸς γάμος, ἱερογαμία) returned the
creation of the world, the manifestation of the "logos" to its two
initial components, Adam and Eve, retrograding them, in its Adventure, until
returning to the original "pardes" (paradise).
