Para salir del infierno, No mires atrás



Para salir del infierno, No mires atrás

El infierno no es un lugar.
Es el estado en el que la mente orbita algo de lo perdido.

Orfeo, según el mito, desciende al inframundo y persuade a Hades de devolverle a Eurídice. Hay una condición: no voltear hasta alcanzar la luz.

Orfeo cede.

No por falta de amor.
Por no soportar la duda.

Necesita un signo. Algo que cierre.

Orfeo no pierde a Eurídice.
Pierde la salida del infierno.

El infierno tiene una regla simple: todo intento de comprobación de que el otro está aún allí lo prolonga. No se sale verificando.

El error no es amar.
Es necesitar pruebas de que el otro está ahí.

Ahí nace el bucle:

  • ¿Sigues ahí?
  • ¿Sientes lo mismo?
  • ¿Me has olvidado?
  • ¿Qué estás haciendo?
  • ¿Confías en mí?

Cada pregunta es un giro.
Y cada giro devuelve al mismo lugar. 

El Goce.

Ese giro no termina en el gesto.
Lo Continúa.

Orfeo sale del inframundo, pero no sale del infierno.
Eurídice ya no está, pero queda fijada como pérdida. Y esa pérdida organiza su vida.

Canta.

Canta el dolor. Canta el error.
Y en ese canto, Eurídice permanece.

No como presencia.
Como falta.

Incluso después de muerto, su cabeza sigue cantando: Eurídice, Eurídice.
El nombre se repite. No cambia.

Orfeo no solo pierde.
Conserva perdiendo.

La pérdida se convierte en su forma de poseerla. Mientras ella sea una falta, hay algo que sostener. Mientras mire atrás, ella sigue ahí, aunque sea como fantasma.

Así el dolor deja de ser un accidente.
Se vuelve un lugar.

Salir implicaría algo más radical que el sufrimiento:
la desaparición.

Cada vez que la mente vuelve, no busca solo saber.
Mantiene.

No mirar atrás no es un consejo.
Es una ruptura.

Dejar de girar no basta.
Hay que soltar lo que el giro protegía.

No la presencia.
La falta.

Orfeo cede y se queda.
Quien quiera salir debe hacer lo contrario:

perder incluso la pérdida

Eurídice, Eurídice

"The Woman" Does Not Exist

  The Woman Does Not Exist: Lacan, Gender, and the Fantasy of Identity In the previous post, we explored Jacques Lacan’s provocative statement: “There is no such thing as a sexual relationship.” We clarified that this doesn’t mean there’s no sexm but that sex, in Lacan’s view, doesn’t guarantee mutual understanding or symbolic unity between partners. Instead, it often reveals a fundamental gap between subjects. In this post, we’ll explore another equally disruptive idea in Lacanian psychoanalysis: “The Woman does not exist.” Let’s be clear: Lacan is not denying the existence of real women. He is not saying women as people don’t exist. Rather, he’s questioning the existence of The Woman   (with a capital W) as a stable, universal essence or truth about what it means to be a woman. What Does It Mean to Say "The Woman Does Not Exist"? Lacan’s phrase "La femme n'existe pas" challenges the notion of a singular, coherent idea of womanhood. In psychoanalytic terms, ...

The Cat F. and her object of desire

Image
There is a toy the cat I live with, F., loves. A small, insignificant object by itself—a hair band—but for her, it is everything. She plays with it, run with it, and then—loses it. Again and again, it disappears under the sofa. At first, I thought it was mere accident, an unfortunate consequence of her wild enthusiasm. I would retrieve it (with difficulty, moving the whole big and heavy sofa), place it back in front of her, and she would resume the game. Then I noticed something strange: F. was not merely losing the toy—she was hiding it, pushing it carefully under the sofa and then wait. Not searching for it, not retrieving it herself, but waiting for it to come out, like a mouse. This is the game. Not the toy, not the having of it, but the not having it—the game of waiting. Lacan taught us that desire is not for the object itself, but for the dream of having it, and the wonderful things that it will make us feel. The objet petit a , that little elusive remainder, is not what we want...

Unmasking Evil: The Truth Behind Our Darkest Desires

Image
Evil, as an action, could be a thought, but that is usually forgotten, a damned intranscendent mental Sin. In general, evil is only evil when it becomes action and comes out of us as a manifestation of our darkness. But, as an action, it is not inherently evil; rather, it is evil only in relation to other actions or, better yet, perceptions of actions—interpretations. Above all, evil is a function of one's relationship with one's manque, the fundamental lack that structures one's desire. Most of the time, what is evil is not determined by an external reaction, but by the accusation of one's inner Other, nor by the moral codifications that attempt to define it. Rather, evil’s true weight emerges in the subjective coordinates of one's own lack, in how one's act situates itself in relation to this void that constitutes one. In Lacanian psychoanalysis, the subject is always structured around the manque-à-être—the lack of being. It is this absence that fuels desire, ...
