¿De verdad necesitamos tener libertad de pensamiento?

[Kamarasa GregorioSamsa]

¿Qué es lo "legible" del pensamiento?

[ENNAS]

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite." Le reprochaba el mí­stico inglés del Siglo de las Luces, William Blake a su colega Swedenborg, al que veí­a preso de la racionalidad dualista entre el Bien y el Mal.



"Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence. From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy."

A más, a más:

"All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors.

1. That Man has two real existing principles: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy, called Evil, is alone from the Body and that Reason, called Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

But the following Contraries to these are True

1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3 Energy is Eternal Delight."

La verdad es que en vida se ganó el sustento como grabador e impresor. Sus poesí­as son difí­ciles por lo simbólicas y sus pinturas extrañas. A dí­a de hoy se le tiene por un genio, precisamente porque no silencio esos pensamientos suyos en aras conseguir respetabilidad o de no ser tenido por un loco en su sociedad.
