MAN

   
 In the evening sky gray clouds fast gallop. The back of the storm dark lines the sky. The man in the woods. One arm holds a gun edge philosopher, metallic, opaque reflections.
  The dome rain and lightning storm Escande passionate about the earth. Land planted with the fate of the trees.
  And the storm ceases. Silent drops glow at the edges of the leaves. Among the forest trails, floating voices of birds and whistling wind prayers. He moves between the moist bark of trees. Choose a tree, any tree for him.
  And the first sound explodes violently. The initial hack. The hit man's arm from sharp metal. Then heed to this:
  "... Man with an ax is cutting a tree. Each stroke of the ax is modified or corrected according to the way he left the ax in the tree above. The self-correcting process (or mental) from a total system ( tree-eye-brain-muscles-ax-ax-tree). The whole system is what has the characteristics of immanent mind ".
 The man, the ax, self-correction, a situation explored by Gregory Bateson, a biologist thinker, thinker biologist, to caress the menteinmanente: mind into matter. The mind in the hiebra. We usually associate the mental with the subtlety of intellect, with the intangible rigor of reason or free spirituality and the heaviness of the body material. In the watchtowers modern thought, the ladder of being is mind, body soul emancipated mechanical res cogitans, a thinking thing, different and superior to all res extensa (the nature of bodies and deployed locations).
 For the modern Cartesian mind is transcendent. Think and order a world outside of the relationship between the particular. Cartesian thinking is logos that slips over the top objects from Heritage. From the summit of mind, this thinking is written about gentle texture of matter. Matter, the relationships among organisms, the environment, nature, suffer at the foot of the great subject rational mind.
  The modern subject pounding on the fabric material things. It is important to forge a mind essential statement about intelligence. The smart thing is not what mysterious rages on the scale of nature. Intelligence is the power concentrated in the subject. Intelligence is an attribute of the subject (human) understands and perceives itself as superior to the universe understood. The man, with his intellectual amphora, is the one who pours water on the arid intelligent wild land or overbearing sky high.
 In the transcendent mind can also boost its hills Platonism, Christianity, the mechanical materialism of Holbach, apriorism mathematician Laplace deterministic, positivist scientism, or the action of the capitalist bourgeoisie transforms the passive nature intended in the domination.
  All these are variations of a subject (whether philosophical, religious, spiritual, or scientific-rational, economic-productive) concentrated intelligence, and pour it and impose. Never meet, recognize or discover a prior exteriority, above. That perhaps is a divine mind, the horizon line gives rise to the pot of all religions.
  The human subject concentrated intelligence. The intelligent human can understand, transform, invent. But it can create the body and brain that contains and radiates intelligence. The subject can not then be fully self-foundation, absolute self-creation. The mental intelligence, human biology can not autodarse your body, your body. The rational subject then tries to increase its light dazzled and hide himself the anguish of not being able autofundarse by the fact of receiving a body that pre-exists and is given.
   And the origin of the body remains veiled to the rational mind. The exact origin of multicellular life support theories. But explanations apodictic. Paradox of the modern subject. Rational subjectivity and trasparentar aspire to dominate all its rays. But you can not create or generate a pure mental action from his bodily organized (and not matter, the atom, the neutrino, the bacteria, gravity, and gravitational bodies attracted by the gravity).
  The human body and animal bodies, and foliage plants, and varieties of metals and the saturated space of life and ecosystems, preexist regard to transcendent mind (human).
  But how smart is not only unique attribute of humanitas. Perhaps it's smart self-regulating whole of heaven and earth. Intelligence is perhaps the deployment and construction of the universal complexity. Would not an intelligent mind and the multiplicity of the natural world, regardless of the mental subject, humane, intelligent? Could be an intelligent universe or mediation without the presence of mammalian arrogant reasoning?
  The force that directs and integrates the universal complex requires a designation in modern thought and culture. This generates a plurality of names for the computer to the complex (subject of transcendental apperception, idea or absolute spirit, I absolutely transcendental identity, infinite substance, understanding, historical or dialectical materialism).
  All these variants of the complex computer to refer to some form of a rational human subject. All variations of philosophical modernity for regulating power complexity prevents a name: God.
  God. Semantic concept of plural and conflicting. In these lines will only be synonymous with a universal action ordering of complexities. But despite this tight conceptual translation, how could the rational, top of the history, science and technology, analytical and logical understanding of existence, again accept theological expressions?
  What is the specificity of an awkward non-human intelligent mind?
  The indication of their specificity depends little or nothing of theology.
  Returning to the thinker biologist to capture the path of a Mind Greater than, despite all protests predictable, than the particular Homo sapiens:
   "The individual mind is immanent, but this is not confined to the body. Is immanent also in pathways and messages outside the body. There is a Higher Mind which the individual mind is merely a subsystem. Higher Mind can be compared with God , perhaps equal to what some mean by the term "God" but still being found immanent in the whole social system interlaced and planetary ecology (emphasis added). "
 The intelligent mind is not exclusive to the human. The "ecology of mind" of Bateson offers a meditation on mind in nature. Which is parallel recovery of the archaic experience of the sacred which did not separate the spirit from matter, where nature and its phenomena was the manifestation of intelligent action of various deities. But after the many divine forces beat a single force that expressed by different masks.
 In ancient Egyptian formula fundamental religious were constituted by Amun-Ra.Both deities were only acted by its unavoidable and material expressions. Amon was the wind. Ra entroncaba with the solar light energy. A similar correlation between the divine and the physical or natural expressions could be extended to other deities of the Egyptian pantheon. Thus, "the immanence of the gods in nature, far from diminishing its significance for the Egyptians, allowed a correspondence between human life and natural life as an inexhaustible source of strength. Man's life, both individual and social, was integrated into the life of nature. " After the various natural and divine forces (wind, or sun), after life, beats one inexhaustible source of strength. A smart single divine force acting on the space, which is immanent in nature.
  Immanent divinity old coasts back in some contemporary thought. The archaic animism returns in multidisciplinary combinations territories. Biology, astronomy, physics, interpenetrate with Eastern religious, mythical cultures, biases or pantheistic philosophies.
  Reveel, Capra, Morin, Bateson, Varela, Maturana, Sheldrake, Lovelock. In various ways, nature is seen again as a living whole, such as intelligence that regulates itself. By strict empirical research, he founded his Gaia hypothesis Lovelock. Gaia, the Earth. For a Cartesian thinking, the planet is repeated machine governed by laws of cause and effect. The machine-nature only get understanding if the human intellect explains, understand and master its operation. A machine play (unless it is programmed to interact with external variables). The nature and machine, in the traditional scientific view, it could be an entity with the power of a smart self-regulation. However, Gaia, the Earth, not playback machine. Gaia: global reality and living. Goddess self-conscious creator of many fruits and present in every piece of life emerged from her womb. Gaia, Lovelock biological understanding, self-regulating. Self-correcting. It's lively intelligence controlled.
  Examples of the biologist are profuse. Examples where observation and wonder at the natural processes are amalgamated and light another. An example: the gases are suspended in the atmosphere have their function. They must observe proper proportion to maintain its beneficial nature and not become life threatening. And there is oxygen. Their presence in atmospheric gases is 21%, your ticket to a 25% increase available fuel wood and forest and jungle leaves and even damp detritus of a tropical forest. In a seemingly wasteful productivity, atmosphere, Gaia, generates large amounts of methane no apparent utility.However, methane regulates or prevents overgrowth of oxygen. Methane production is intelligent and self-regulatory action of the planet-female. From the Earth. Gaia. The old goddess, a living being.
  Bateson, meanwhile, arrived at the discovery of an immanent intelligence and environmental through the "sacred meaning of cybernetic ideas." A single cybernetic circuit is a regulator, a machine (as eg a fan) that works through repetition of a message determines its speed ladiferencia between real and ideal speed in default. The controller converts the difference information (which increases or decreases the supply of fuel or slow speed). The system works through differences, and displays a self-correcting mechanism, a homeostasis.The circuit then functions as a dynamic not closed. Depends on information from outside, through a network of paths between inside and outside. Just how a circuit works cybernetic mind. Through continuous exchanges of information between an organism and its environment. The mind is not in any circuit is replicated, agency, or subject closed.
 Thus, "according to this criterion, coral reefs, forests of redwood and human societies have the attributes of the mind. That is, each of these cases exchange messages intertwined sets of organisms"
   Higher Mind is the plexus of bodies linked by relations of difference and information. Intelligence work through each relationship. Faced with the exuberance of bristling sea oas, Bateson said, "do not think there is a God separate from the ocean" to the beauty of the vast sea and foaming lips on the beach, the biologist thinker goes "on the other hand I have the feeling that the ocean is a living being. Is this ... a religious attitude. "
  Romaind Rolland wrote to Freud a letter referring the likely legitimacy of ancestral experiences of men from different cultures, religious calling, according to which man perceives a deep and irrepressible sense of oneness with all existence. Freud replies. Refutes Freud. It does so famously on The malaise of the culture. The experience referred to by Rolland's oceanic feeling, a solution of the self in an environment of pleasure, a regression to infantile narcissism, where the individual does not spread or difference of the outside world he's sorry for your own satisfaction. Freud refutes Rolland. Even if unknowingly confutes Bateson and identity between the ocean and divinity, between the self and the vast sea observer. After the alleged narcissism Freudian critique of the evocation of Rolland and Bateson, snorts criticism of Feuerbach Xenophanes of Colophon and the anthropological projection of divinity. The subject is also projected as a divinity objectified on the outside to meet their interests and expectations. The man emanates a divine world to feel that the universe has meaning, and that is the source for the translation of their desire for security and domain of existence. In the history of cultures, animism have been the first invasion of subjectivity on the frame of things. Everything has encouraged, life and consciousness, because the man projects his self in the tree or stone, to humanize the strangeness of the externality, the natural world. If man is seen identical to oak, it is because both the human subject and plant life exist in a common context, but because this identity is false projection of the human psyche.
  Modern man expels the possibility of a non-human intelligence in nature. This expulsion is a total appropriation of nature by the human mind, which promotes a new biologist observing thinker:
 "If you leave out God and puts him face to face with his creation, and if you have no idea that you created in the image of Him, logically and naturally see oneself out of things around us and opposed them. When awarded a mind in full, it is considered that the surrounding world is unintelligent and therefore not deserving of moral and ethical considerations. seem that the environment is at our disposal that we exploit " .
  Bateson, the biologist thinker, does not tolerate the breaking of the fabric that matches the human ecosystem and its natural environment. Neither the poet tolerated. Maeterlinck, the esthete of symbolism, meditate on the flowers. The notes to the empirical view of botanists. The searches also with the poetic fascination glass. The classical Greek tragedy has accustomed us to the hero's struggle against fate. Attitude of superlative nobility. High dignity of the human.However, the noble crackdown intrinsic fate is not only to men. The fragile flower, pregnant with tenacity and ingenuity, bid for "beat the space that fate holds, closer to another realm, into a world mover and lively." The flower, like Prometheus or Achilles, looking to conquer his destiny, that exposes the vertigo of suffering or death. It is not heroic quality exclusive aristocratic human mammal. The flower weak and the Greek hero of wit or courage are matched by participating in the same power to respond to the demands of an environment, in many cases, hostility and scarcity. The heroic, intelligent action, are not unique heritage of the presumptuous human face. Maertelinck, the poet, then spread the understanding shared by two seemingly disparate terms, the flower and the hero, the multiplicity of the universal "no more or less intelligent beings, but a scattered intelligence, general, a kind of universal fluid that penetrates diversely as good or bad conductors of spirit, bodies found (emphasis added). "
  It's true. The man probably has the largest concentration and creative transformation of the only intelligent fluid. Perhaps it is human life which "offers less resistance" to the fluid that religions call divine. Our nerves would be distributed threads where "the more subtle power." Our brain is saturated with invective and curiosity, the power of making objects and cultures, from greed to modify or supplement nature.
  Our brain has the desire for aesthetic expression. Our brain seeks to extend the eye through the telescope, the spacecraft, to the bowels of black holes. Our species and multiply "the force of the flow" of fluid only intelligent, but this current "do not come from another source which passes through the stone, the sun, the flower or the animal."
  The intelligence spread a glow just galloping and shakes his mane through each particular expression of life. For the culture of the dominance of the subject, intelligence is not spread evenly in the range of space. The conception of a universal intelligence is extra-human viciousness of lasplásmataton proteron, fictions of the ancients, like the fire of the Stoics craftsman who creates and governs the immensity of nature. Smart is always the subject (human) and brand is the multiple. Again, the subject is split and shining from the altar of superiority over things. Bateson then laments the loss of "totemism, the sense of a parallel between the organization of man and animals and plants."
  The intelligence spread, mented by Maeterlinck, the mind of nature auscultada by Bateson, dissolve the illusion of body-boundary. In modern laWeltanschauung, the body is, in the words of Descartes, that which is restricted to its physical limits, which occupies one place at one time. It is the body-limit, the anatomy-border body enclosed in its own finitude and lanky and faced with the multiplicity of living forms. From another perspective we believe, the common fluid flowing through the stone, animal, tree or man, equals or integrates different forms of life. And well repaid the human body in the vast tapestry of nature. The body now is continuity and rapport with other beings. And with the very breadth of the planetary and cosmic space. It's the return of a universal body, form of perception of bodily and beat in mythical cultures, in the popular culture of the Middle Ages or the Renaissance, or in Renaissance hermeticism.
  The body returned to nature reacquires its relationship with the diversity of nonhuman life that makes up the biosphere. But what actually related or linked with other living individuality? In the words of biologist inquisitive thinker, "What pattern connects the crab to the lobster and the orchid narcissus, and four with me? And me with you? What about us six with the amoeba in one direction, andthe schizophrenic delayed in the other. "
  The connecting pattern is different from any of the individual connections. It works from a metalugar. It is a unifying metapauta different relationship domains.The integration of all fields is supreme unity, and that "unity is supreme beauty."The analytic I understand only by distinctions between parties, by determining the various sides of an issue and then, through reasoning and deduction gradual glimpse the top of a content or knowledge logic, propositional. In addition, a rational inquiry on a given subject can move long, indefinitely, including new aspects or revelantes data.The aesthetic disposition of a body alert and open to the fabric of relationships, in a fleeting moment can perceive the integrated lines of a landscape, the haunting harmony of a face, the slenderness of a tiger cat. And although not a direct empirical data, the lines of the landscape, feline face and extend and integrate, relate in a metapauta in a common space. This space is not directly observable through a visual observation or by a purely conceptual evaluation. The common area is perceived by an aesthetic sense. It is the perception of the beautiful blend of pigments of the many things on a single canvas.
  This receive aesthetic draws on the sudden, the instantaneous and brilliant. Its dynamics is dark deep. The apprehension to the unity of relations proceeds with the speed of intuition. The aesthetic intuition of reminds metapauta invariably cognitive immediacy held by the romantic philosophy of Schelling to Hegel's rejection provoked bitter. In Hegel, the concept gradually and gave no reasoned the key to understanding everything in a murky and vague aesthetic emotion. The speed of the aesthetics of the metapauta intuition is provoked. This experience is not teachable or obtainable through education artistic sensibility or dialectical philosophy. It happens. It happens. As the sudden hiss of a breeze inspiring. Is surprising. Es
 The aesthetic sense of the man to drive relaunches common sea of ​​life. The self that analyzes the nature from a distance of deck knowledge through subject-object opposition, returns to the membership and proximity to nature, with the vast sea waves.
  First is the aesthetic intuition of the unit. And then, the possible merger of the subject with the diversity of the natural environment. This is poetic experience. The poetic state is empathy, confusion, rapport between the subject and the contemplated. In modernity, a paradigm of artistic empathy emerges in the letters of John Keats: "If a sparrow sits outside my window, took part in its existence and pecking at the ground." In a letter to Richard Woodhouse, the poet emphasizes the fusion of the poet with the ring of things: "... a poet ... has no identity, continually tends to be embodied in other bodies. The poet has no invariable attribute" .Bateson delves the possible merger of the subject with the multiplicity of beings in the so-called syllogism in grass. The biologist thinker in syllogistic form a special rapid detonation of images that induce a shift from a stage of confrontation between subject and object into a world of movement and impregnation of attributes between subjects of different classes. The famous syllogism, of repeated school tradition, said:
 Men die.Socrates is a man.Socrates dies.Instead, a syllogism other states:The grass dies.Men die.Men are grass.
   The philosopher of maieutics is subject man belongs to the class. Each subject of a class share some common attributes. If Socrates is a man, and men die, Socrates must die. But this says nothing about the fact that the attribute of mortality also belongs to other classes of beings. The syllogism in grass, meanwhile, says the grass dies and what "dies, is equal to the thing that dies."The grass dies. Man dies. And man shall be the grass that dies, everything dies.The man then be identical to the herbal and delicate flower that perishes. When two things have the same attribute, even if they are identical subjects of different classes. Therefore:Rain is water.The man is water.Man is rain.
 The identity becomes multiple. The man becomes rain, the rain can also be a man. Reality of transformations and mergers. Keats poetic empathy.
   The possible identity of subject and outside, and forms that are outside, can also be found in the "participant observation" of the current quantum-physical research. From Heisenberg, is seen that the smallest of the matter is observable only within a framework created by the awareness that research. Between the observer and the observed there is integration and not a difference of essences.
  For their own way reflective, contemporary microphysics becomes conscious unity between subject and otherness of the infinitesimal presences in our material environment. A similar consummated an Irish poet ...
  It's a beautiful sunny morning. The ships arrive Mile race to the lonely Irish coast.It starts the last invasion of Ireland. But before the warriors, landed Amairgen, the subject of poetry and magic. And sings a poem. The first act of conquest is a poetic embrace the new land blows. But behind the apparent fact bark, swarms another experience. For the poet sings:I am the wind that descends upon the sea;I am the wave of the depth;I am the throne of the seven battles ...He concludes:... I am the tip of the spear which opened the battle;I am the god who shapes the thoughts of the mind.Amairgen not only induces an act of "poetic conquest" of the earth. Her singing is an expression of multiple identity, the subject that individuality is no longer locked into a single class of beings. The subject is now the memory of a story of metamorphosis, the human is not looking manor sees the world as a trophy for his greatness. The subject is now I spread, subjectivity of many ways, becoming nomadic or between different beings. The subject sung by Celtic pagan Amairgen is no longer a privileged term within a system of relationships. Is alternatively each of the interrelated terms. The subject here is not the opposite or different from other forms of life. It is that which identifies the various beings in nature.
    The Celtic poet sings that the subject only is the relationship with other beings, other forms. Through her singing, Amairgen confused with network diversity. And for a mythical mentality of a pagan poet, after the networks of relationships between things, lives and works an intelligence that shines in nature. Divine intelligence. The metapauta, the god who shapes the poet's thoughts and all the ways in which the poet becomes.
  And the smart metapauta, the God who shapes the thoughts of the poet's mind and give it all way through the map where tense relations between man, the amoeba, the solar ray, the boulder and dew. But it can also traverse the map of relations between the amoeba and its rays, the boulder and dew. The map without man. Without humanity. Relations unit without the shedding authoritarian great subject. Man is the supreme arbiter of the codes. It's presence and power effects and recent relations in the natural history of the planet. Millions of years before man existed ratio of the order, relations unit. The action of the metapauta.
 Heraclitus declared "Listening not to me but the logos, it is wise to recognize (homologein) that all is one." If the subject only serves its own historicity, and his own action, desbarranca in the illusion that everything is in its own history and that everything exists under the glass of his interpretation. This attitude is illusory reprimanded by Plato in the Laws: "The creation does not occur because of you, but you ocurres because the universe." Reality as logos, as intelligent self-regulating unit preexists already acted and is acting now in a comprehensive variety of. However, again according to Heraclitus said, "but all things happen according to this Logos, men seem to people without dealing with him."
  The man is no longer homologoumenos; not live in accordance with the atavistic logos (metapauta) that penetrates the entire bios. He only attends to what is from him, after him, not to what is already organized life glowed like phosphorescence before its passage and intellect.
  During million days and nights discoursed life without the need for human appearance. Even today the planetary life could do without the man. Despite all our exaltation, Gaia does not need our intervention.
  Empecinamos us not to think what existed previously. Before the man pre-existed as a power computer, metapauta, for a biologist thinker. God, the horizon of the various religious traditions. Evidence of pre-existence of a non-human order of nature anthropocentric horrifies intellectuals. You must invest the maximum energy to escape from that evidence. It is appropriate to deter, despise, revile, or simply ignore the spirits "backward" even willing to suggest the preexistence of the metapauta, an Intelligence Staff. Perhaps the forgotten divinity.
  But we have the courage to imagine and recreate the morning that echoed twenty million years ago when the shadow of a human body still did not fall on the solid soil cheeks.
   There was no man. But it was the rain that arose from the neck of the sky. You were the sun that cabrilleaban on the branches and seeds evenings. It was the sea, the volcano of red fist. It was the millions of species. And the stone still. And the ancestors of the elephant and the beautiful tiger.
  And it was the ecosystem. The relationships between people and processes. A self-regulating whole intelligence. Not human. Galloping through the parts and connections between parts of the whole planet.
  And it was the Greater Mind. And still is. And even deny it, nature still shines on the circle. Some god who laughs.
