Column symbolic of Wisdom

"The wise do not feel to complain, instead he happily the task of repairing the damage done "
William Shakespeare

" The ignorant says, the wise question and think "
Aristotle


E
n spend my last essay I discuss the symbolic spine of beauty, this time to continue the previous work I'll share some reflections on the symbolic spine of Wisdom.

Before entering the subject, I must admit that at my young age of just 21, is perhaps not the best person to speak on an issue as momentous as it is wisdom, which is acquired largely by the experience and learning of errors over time.

But precisely because the errors are a means to achieve wisdom, I dare talk about it, so that if my concept of wisdom, expressed in the text were to be wrong, be so Ambler HH :. to correct me and enlighten the way they deem most appropriate.

However, since entering the topic, I begin by making a remark. Although in common parlance, the words and know know are usually used as synonyms, I think there is a substantial difference between these two.

know The word refers to the action of having knowledge of something, for example, knowledge of mathematical formulas, names of people important information, etc. While the word refers know to find the best way how to deal with this or that knowledge. Then there is the same " know I feel sad" that " know I will feel sad ." While the first one I know because I feel, in the second I'm sorry but I know what to do with it.

We can now understand more easily than wisdom, seen as a knowledge, not just a set of knowledge, but the mastery of such knowledge, finding the best ways to make use of, and even, if necessary, do not use them.

" conceived wisdom that be built", says Oswald Wirth, the Ideal of initiation, and tells us that " orders the chaos of confused projects " . The truly free man, can easily realize, that is of greatest benefit to mankind that a person acted wisely with little knowledge, for someone who has vast knowledge of all kinds of science, but is unable to use them for a positive purpose.

The wisdom I think, is a compromise between the objectivity of science and spirituality and religious faith of the intangibles. Wisdom is harmony, and harmony is beauty, and this in turn is art. So I believe art is also one of the means by which wisdom is reached, and at the same time, wisdom is a means to create art.

The artist, unlike the average person not only knows how he feels, but creating something from of feeling, is capable of creating art. And not just the artist takes pleasure in creating his work, but also, having represented his emotion and thought, now hundreds of thousands of spectators can enjoy the aesthetic pleasure produced by this work of art.

Thing had happened contrary to an ordinary person, if you can recognize their feelings or emotions, this knowledge only goes so far, that the best will do nothing wrong with it, but nothing good .

Art is a knowing, because, although sometimes the art requires technical and theoretical knowledge, without knowledge, never be able to achieve a harmony between technique and emotion, between science and spirituality.

We can not deny, as I have mentioned some of our Brethren. in tten:. past, that in art there is always something of science, let's say a beauty arithmetic, an exact harmony, while not excluding in any way the foregoing, there is something in art that is inexplicable, far from what touches our soul scientist and captures our spirit. In this sense we can say that every artist has a certain wisdom consciously or unconsciously.

In conclusion, the wisdom which is one of three symbolic pillars on which Freemasonry stands, is of paramount importance for the Mason, to achieve the beauty and harmony among the elements necessary in constructing the building of life. Wisdom is not easily obtained, but try to understand and reflect on it at least brings us one step closer.

What Can I Use Instead Of Chicken Stock



symbolic column Beauty

S
e know that the three symbolic pillars on which the Masons say they are Strength, Wisdom and Beauty. In this essay me talk more specifically devoted of beauty.

Oswald Wirth mentions that "subject to the wisdom, power and gets meekly obey while pleasing the Beauty, who is in love." If this is true in such a way that you do, be met under the rules of art and honor alike to the worker and the Architect.

is thanks to the beauty by which we will make our job, our thinking and our life will reach the level of art. But first let's define beauty is.
This is defined by the dictionary of the English Royal Academy as the "property of the things you do love them, instilling in us spiritual delight. This property exists in nature and in the literary and artistic works. "

This definition is not far from the Masonic conception of beauty, because for the Masons is the virtue of beauty, is the inspiring feeling, which harmonizes and therefore a manifestation of love.

We then realize that beauty is not just a physical attribute, but also spiritual. On one side of the Force gives us the energy to create, and secondly the wisdom conceived the most appropriate for the form. But without the beauty of our work but well, it would be cold, and devoid of feeling, we do not inspire love and harmony.

If there is not harmony, that is, without a perfect balance, all work we do, you probably can not transcend or achieved a significant improvement for us or for society.

is why my QQ:. HH:. I intend to emphasize beauty. As free men we long and illustrious progress, we often forget the art and beauty, and sometimes we base our life and work only in cold and calculated reasoning, influenced perhaps orthodox positivist science that we might be taught in our university.

Science intends to investigate all observing, measuring and quantifying. But the beauty but sometimes observable, can not be measured. The beauty comes from the spirit, soul, and although beauty may be studying towards aesthetics, never give us an equation or scientific formula to get there.

not pretend at all HH:. mine devalue science but rather, see it with a new perspective, which involved not only rationality but also the beauty and harmony.

The Great Art of living is achieved through the creative force that we free men, with wisdom and intelligence, but essentially the Beauty that will take care that there is harmony between these elements.

May we be artists of our lives and live life as art, and inspired everyone who is at any time viewer of our work, feelings of love and delight moral and spiritual.

ART AS A RESULT OF SOMETHING AND STEP




"ART AS A RESULT

OF SOMETHING THAT ALREADY HAPPENED"

Raziel TOVAR


"Making art is to take possession of a life they do not get to live "
Annette Messager
" It is the spectator, and not life, art really mirrors "
Oscar Wilde

Introduction


The work of clinical psychologist, is to help the patient to find the necessary tools to deal with their discomfort. However, although psychologist has a number of formal knowledge about psychological processes, which it acquired in your career, you need to also realize that each "individual" represents a culture in which this operates.

Freud said that all psychology is social psychology home. In this sense, the psychologist must take into account the history of mankind, to understand how our ancient generations were formed over the years, a culture composed of a their own language, rituals, religions, traditions, philosophy, art, etc..

All these elements of culture, but today is in some cases very different from yesteryear, yet still influence our thinking, our beliefs and in the way we perceive ourselves as a nation.

For unlike the major powers, in which they tend to be themselves as powerful nations that have dominated other countries, Mexicans tend to see ourselves as a people dominated throughout history.

This feature, while not visible to the naked eye, has a major influence on our thinking, among many others that social factors influence the behavior of Mexican .

It was not just enough to know the history of a culture or social group, we must also understand how this was developing, ie as it was changing the mind conforms to the historical events that were happening with every passing year.

In psychoanalysis the individual states that do not exist or memories of past traumas, but these memories, say " traumatic" or who made a mark important in our psyche, are experienced in this, repeated acts or actions unconsciously, in order to make sense or understand those "memories" of the past. That we live in the past continues to influence our thinking and way of feeling in the present.

Similarly, the above applies to a society, whether a state, nation or even an entire continent. Take for example the second world war in which millions of innocent people died because of the ideals of a nation. This happened more than 60 years, but the impact of this event has left devastation in families, institutions, nations and continents like Europe, even to this day. No social group who have been victims of the terrible deeds committed by German fascism, forgot what its rising generations suffered.

is important to note that the present generations are formed almost entirely by people who maybe were not born in the success of the under world war. However, the experiences of a society are transmitted to new generations, not only as a historical knowledge, but is also conveyed the feelings of each person, ie generations down, to some extent, "inherited" what they experienced.

Returning to the clinical aspect, I take the above example to point out the relevance of knowing the history of our patients. We know we have many times with a history, but you must also know a patient's history of feeling, knowing you have lived your discomfort. Taking into account their personal, family and social course.

While we have been talking about the past and present, we can not put aside the future as the past also exert great influence on societies and individuals, in how they perceive the future, and expect this. A better future is the ideal of any society, and to achieve this ideal, you have to flip back and look at the past, since this will take the lessons learned so they can be applied to the present.

In clinical practice, it is also important to note that the resources and the experiences of the past, will never be erased, we can not "do as that no longer exist" . We must find the proper way to make our patient to see that while the past can not be modified, if possible change the representation we have this, and structure a new meaning to change his feeling and thinking.

A unique activity of man, by which we usually see reflected the conscious and unconscious desires of the individual, but in turn reflects much of the culture in which they live , and in which we can also see the historical influence personal and social level. This activity to which I refer is the Art.

"Art is a consequence of something that happened" Filemon Santiago says, is that art is precisely to unite elements in making abstractions but taking into account aesthetics. A work of art shows (as we review below), aspects of the artist's life, which may refer to his past or his future.
This paper will briefly review some features of the works of the artist Philemon James and Annette Messeger, exhibited in May 2010 at the Museum MARCO in Monterrey.

Analysis exhibitions


First I would like less extensively analyze the painter Filemon Santiago.

was born in Oaxaca in 1958, studied art in this city and years later he moved to the city of Chicago. The same author says in a documentary series another way to look , that contact with this city makes a big impact, since the city came from a semi-rural, unlike the other which is a large industrial city and developed, also changing the culture and language.

This cultural change greatly influenced the artist's work, however, as he discussed his acquaintances in Chicago, felt that Filemon Santiago in particular shows a very it, and this is his great sense of belonging to their land Oaxaca. " He knows who he is, it came from and who is its people," said friends. Certainly according to the U.S. this is easy to notice in a Mexican Filemon Santiago as it is because Americans are highly individualistic, in contrast to the collectivist Mexican culture.

can see as many of the works of Philemon James present the same items again and again and they also have a close relationship with its roots, place of origin. For example are the many paintings that he painted chickens, some covertly and other eye. We also see corn on several occasions, characteristic of Mexico. Shellfish also are present, whether fish, lobsters and more. All these items speak much of the original culture of Filemon Santiago. Is characteristic of the style of their work is the similarity in the faces and the complexion of all its characters and even between men and women.

Vygotsky says that "most obvious reasons for an artistic effect hidden in the unconscious" and I totally agree with this. I do not pretend to be exhaustive in this essay, so I do not come forward to make an interpretation of this painting, but if I dare say that there is something in the works of the author that let you represent many of her fantasies, whether unconscious or not.

The museum does an interview MARCO Philemon Santiago, where we spoke briefly, among other things, about the creative process. It says " creativity does not come as a magic moment, but as the consequence of being continuously insisting on your job." Personally, as a musician and composer, I identify in this regard. While it appears that most viewers think that the creation a work of art "is given easily," easily artist or have a "gift " requires also work and perseverance, he dared to acknowledge and represent your own desires and fantasies, and as said Philemon, a lot of patience.

Now let's review a little about the work of Annette Messager . She is French, born in 1943. His works often include photographs, prints, drawings, and other materials. He studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris. Later travels the world and wins awards for photography among others.

Philemon I did not know James or Annette Messager when I went to the museum exhibitions MARCO, but I have to admit that I identify more with the work of Annette Messager, reasons I can not fully explain, but at least try to explain to the reader because, as a material for this test.

The work caused the most impact on me was "War of the Worlds" . This work on first impression leads me very much, to see two balls floating and crashing by the force exerted by the wind from the fans on them. However, there was something in this book that left me spellbound for several minutes. At times I feel as though these balls were actually two worlds at war, and every bump represent war and destruction. A similar effect occurred me Casino works, Articulated-broken, Black Stains, among others.

has this wonderful art feature that allows us to identify, sometimes without realizing it, with the latent content in the works, and live our fantasies through them as if they were foreign to us. It is through the aesthetic form that art us traps, but at the same time as hiding something that reflects our unconscious desires. It is through this last quality of the way that we identify with the art and enjoy it without it posing a threat to us.

Annette Messager Just manages to combine these two characteristics aesthetic and harmonious. His works speak of the forbidden sexual desires, and others who may not be expressed in words rather than artistic effects. The art is revealed as a symptom of something that is not expressed in all its intensity.

see that Annette Messager uses in his works everyday items such as toys, clothes, and also uses photography, drawing, painting and other elements.
At first my reaction to this contemporary art, was somewhat negative, as my understanding Art has always been attached to the fine arts such as painting, music, sculpture, literature and dance. So I took some work to see the works of the author and art from my point of view.

I can tell now that the first element of artistic form, aesthetics I mean, I can not get my attention at all, but with still inside in the form works by Annette Messager, the second element of the way, I get into my psyche. Then unconsciously, I identified with that lack of "aesthetic" that I allegedly could not perceive. There was something I was seducing insidiously.

Annette Messager, from elements of daily life in some way under me a new conception of art. And change my way of thinking about contemporary art, as demand for new desires and fantasies, other than those represented by centuries ago by the classical arts.

Conclusions

Both art and the history show "a consequence of something that happened" the individual or society, and history shows us that we see those consequences often reflected in art.

In clinical practice we need to develop the ability to observe these consequences, see the patient that the past but lives in the present.

Symbolically, we must be able to see the art of our patients, be they artists or not. I mean all aspects of life through which will be able to resolve what ails you.

the same way that Annette Messenger achievement creating art using elements of everyday life, we help our patients to find those elements to achieve create your own work of art.

Art has been little studied by psychology, due perhaps to science has been too influenced by positivism, where everything has to be observable, measurable and measurable. However, most of the psychological processes in humans are not observable, measurable or quantifiable.

psychoanalysis, not being a science in the orthodox sense, is able to study everything that rejects science, like love, dreams and art, between others.

see throughout history that art has been a distinctive element to suit your style, every society, in a certain period of time. So through art we can learn a lot about human psychology.

art is not only a means of expression, but also a tool to reach the unconscious processes of man and his psyche. It is like the daily art history.

I dare say that in the future, when you have more tools and emerging new knowledge to study the art, this will be recognized with more value currently attached to it. For if we come to understand the psychological processes that involve artistic creativity, we will have a more complete understanding of psychology, and with this, possibly, better clinical practice.
