"Yu's theorem" or the dissolution of contradictions (1).
José Ignacio López Soria
I held three years ago, when I had to comment Apologia pro full, Enrique Verástegui was involved in the difficult task of reconcile two ends, science and poetry, which the modern world view has been placed in niches opposite. I spoke then of his daring in the use of language, its advocacy of a fully curious and diversity of your use of paralogy. I titled my post "stumbling block" because he was convinced that all Apologia pro was, above all, a provocation, an invitation to leave the raucous slumber that afflicts us to undertake further searches for roads not traveled, and even considered impassable for sanity environment. I said then, and not without reason, that I was inventing the "Verástegui thought." This critical comment from and friendly, which made me Abelardo Oquendo, he managed to understand that my reading of Verástegui not intended as criticism like traditional, rationally decipher a text supposedly key encryption. I tried then was rather provocative dialogue with a script that suggests more than it says, that triggers rational processes, emotional and symbolic that transcend the writing itself. I went then to Apologia pro full and I come now to Theorem Yu understanding the text as a whole, not necessarily articulated or coherent message and provocations that come from the author and I invite you to dialogue.
From the perspective outlined approach, read Theorem Yu as a voyage of 365 days, lines, organized into 12-page monthly sessions of 28 verses of the first, 30 second, 32 the next nine and 19 last. A journey along this circular, ranging from beauty, first verse, the embellishment, last verse, the author invites us to wander from the hand of the master Yu, a garden maze of meanings, flashbacks, images and symbols in search of self and the universe.
who has pitched his tent on the side of modern rationality have been left by one of his speeches encompassing, lives a world full of disagreements between beauty and power, reason and passion, logic and grammar, body and salvation rest and motion, time and space, action and contemplation, welfare and freedom, shadows and light, cube and sphere, beginning and end ... The problem of modern man lies essentially in the search for reconciliation of these and other ends, knowing that they are irreconcilable. If, as we believe happened in illo tempore-the world of the Greeks or the Incas (each town invent their own prime time) - we managed to reconcile these extremes, we would achieve build a shelter made of harmony, transparency and consistency but unable to accommodate the modern man and its problems. If, as a martyr, give up the fight and surrender into the arms of a end, we will have the reward of happiness that promises to end but also the hidden loss. Modern man, if he will not waive the condition that defines problems, no alternative but to fight for the reconciliation of extremes who knows and accepts as irreconcilable.
fields in which this struggle takes place are as varied as modern life. Some, philosophers, we struggle with the concepts, others scientists, with the regularities, the lawyers were the standards are, the theologians, beliefs, things engineers, architects with the forms, letters with word ... It has taught us all to hold us in our limits "professionals" and see how daring invasion and any attempt to take the fight to foreign lands. Of course taking it as we have been taught to sharpen the weapons but we got to fight for places in the human. The whole man, history and the cosmos is out of our hands. Back
after this necessary preamble, the garden-maze-write the master Yu. In the event that beauty does not match the power, that dreams are not spaces but mobile structures, which are logical theorems but grammatical, the cube is more perfect than the area that a garden is not a place but a light structure, which can always be ever policy that subjugates to reason, and can be anywhere and back of the future.
But I find also that the reason and passion are fused, which beginning and end
confused, which blend action and contemplation in the air, the body is a source of purity and salvation, because free from sin and is the altar where find God, God is confused with the meeting of those they love, that you can be yourself and your beloved, the heart is identified with the mind and become math grammars.
Thus Theorem Yu-reading dialogue that interests me, enclosing me first to a world of contradictions, reminding man my condition relaxed problem between conceptual poles that are me, axiological, expressive, religious and even experientially as close as irreconcilable. Because I have been taught since ancient asceticism does not fit with the mystique that repel sin and salvation, that beauty does not marry the power that passion blinds the reason, that space is not confused with the time that the object is opposed to the subject, which the body is a source of vice, that the past is the future away by this, that I and you differ, that the beginning and end are at the ends of the chain always and never cancel each other, etc. To commemorate the contradictoriness I am suffering as essential to modern man, the master Yu makes me wander through a maze of words or concepts that environmental sanity classified as mixed.
But the maze of master Yu is also a garden populated with words, so expressive and original scientist, who, to the scandal especially scientists, are dissolved into their opposites. The miracle of the transubstantiation of the one in the other and the other in what one is summoned by love, body and spiritual experience at the same time and in the same direction, running through the garden maze and to dissolve the rigidities inherited concepts, values \u200b\u200band expressions, and makes the encounter of the assumed irreconcilable.
Philosopher's Stone that the teacher cares Yu carefully hidden, in my view, the wisdom to dissolve the contradiction in love, believing that whoever is saved from the contradiction reaches perfection in ecstasy. Read
well, Yu theorem connects with the ancient myth of the labyrinth, which can get out carefully following the thread of Ariadne, or the myth of hell, releasing the visitor with the love of the beloved.
For my part, I prefer to stay still, if I may master Yu at the garden maze, because it bores me perfectly, and scares me ecstasy, that to put oneself out of oneself to get lost in divinity. Do not quit, by the way, to escape the iron cage of modernity, but I'd like a postmodern not seem to dull man's lost paradise harmonious and was dethroned logocentrism made diversity dialogue with each other and recognize and respect each other while maintaining its peculiarities. I know that none of this can happen without absolutes are written in lower case, the gods passing through the street, the grounds will lose their stiffness and force, discontinuities and we do family disharmony, the diversity to speak and the languages speak and are spoken by those who tell us that in the beginning but was not a difference.
As I commented Apologia pro all I have to say, in conclusion, I do not know if Enrique Verástegui was proposed in the reader cause reflections like the ones here do. Maybe not even matter whether or not proposed it. What matters, not little, is that Yu's theorem, especially in its best moments, a celebration of language, a language that is readable from many perspectives and moods, or, if preferred, the poems is a maze in which we always miss or a garden where you can pick the flowers that everyone seeks.
