To be here

 

  The fundamental primitive determination of the mythico-ritual axis of the human law is the declaration of being here and now. I am here and you are here; everything else has to be understood from such statements and accommodate to its emotional topology. It is an ontology of vitalism and adventure, of open roads and new beginnings, thus, of dangers, though also of fulfillments: the past has to come to meet us right here, now, mute gods have to make way for an endless desire of communication. I talk to thee and thus I narrate my identity. We are here, detached from kin and lineage, our only line is the horizon, and living so we honor the ancestors, and give them room in the new temple of the genetic code, together with bacteria, plants and beautiful animals. Prophets, Saints, Messiahs and Gods don’t live here, but we do, HERE…NOW... The dreams of the past cannot be our present nightmares, they won’t be.

   To be here is to be precarious, an outcast from the universal law, for such is to be human, and much more. There was no bravery before the human law. There were madness and wild hormones, there were tales of otherworldliness to lull the fears, to trick you down, but not brave hearts facing meaninglessness and error and mistake. For the universal law, to be is to be there and later, and other, i.e. Gods.

  The reaction against universal law is over: ancestors and constellations are very well where they are, no need them closer or farther. We are simply here and now, singing our myths, meeting our limits and outgrowing them, for beyond the human law extends the untamed strength of life-intelligence…
