Bienvenidos una vez más a Buscadores de la Verdad. Hoy nos adentramos en un tema tan antiguo como la propia existencia humana: el Eros y el Tánatos, las dos grandes fuerzas que, según múltiples tradiciones y escuelas de pensamiento, mueven la vida y la muerte, el deseo y la destrucción. Para hablar de Eros, de esa energía vital que impulsa la unión y la creación, traemos una reflexión de Pedro Bustamante en Sacrificios y hierogamias, donde cita a Ludwig Klages, quien en Del Eros cosmogónico nos dice: “El Eros es llamado elemental o cósmico [cosmogónico] en la medida en que el individuo que es prendido por él se siente animado e invadido por una especie de corriente eléctrica que, comparable al magnetismo, hace que, con independencia de sus fronteras, las almas más alejadas puedan percibirse en un impulso común; él transforma el medio mismo de todas las acciones que separan a los cuerpos, es decir el espacio y el tiempo, en el elemento omnipresente que nos sostiene y nos rodea como un océano; él une también, a pesar de su diferencia siempre inalterable, los polos del mundo.” Una fuerza que trasciende los límites del yo y del otro, desdibujando el tiempo y el espacio en una comunión profunda. Pero allí donde Eros crea, también acecha Tánatos, el impulso hacia la disolución, hacia el final. ¿Cómo dialogan estas dos potencias en nuestra vida cotidiana? ¿Cómo se entrelazan, cómo se enfrentan? De esto hablaremos hoy. Si Eros representa el impulso hacia la vida, hacia la unión y la creación, Tánatos encarna la fuerza opuesta: el impulso hacia la disolución, el retorno a la inercia, la entrega al ciclo inexorable de la muerte. Pedro Bustamante, en Sacrificios y hierogamias, nos recuerda que los primeros seres humanos, profundamente vinculados a la naturaleza y sus ciclos, no podían escapar a las crisis que la vida misma imponía: “Los primeros grupos humanos, los más sometidos a los ciclos naturales, no tienen más remedio que adaptarse a ellos. Su cultura se aparta poco de la naturaleza, sus formas reproducen las naturales, los ritmos de las estaciones, de los astros, de los fenómenos atmosféricos. Es lógico que estas culturas primitivas estén enormemente marcadas por la naturaleza. Especialmente, que se vean afectadas en grado máximo por las crisis naturales: sequías, inundaciones, terremotos, erupciones volcánicas, escasez de alimento.” Tánatos se manifiesta entonces como esa presencia constante de la destrucción, de la pérdida, de la necesidad de rendirse ante fuerzas incontrolables. No como un castigo, sino como parte de un equilibrio más amplio, donde la vida y la muerte, la creación y la desaparición, se suceden en un mismo latido cósmico. Escritores como Norman O. Brown, un intelectual estadounidense y profesor de lenguas clásicas, ya hablaban en 1959 en “Eros y Tánatos: El sentido psicoanalítico de la historia” sobre estos temas. Este libro es considerado una obra clave en la intersección entre el psicoanálisis, la historia y la filosofía. Brown realiza una profunda reinterpretación de las ideas de Sigmund Freud, especialmente de los conceptos de Eros (el instinto de vida, asociado al amor, la creatividad y la unión) y Tánatos (el instinto de muerte, relacionado con la agresión, la destrucción y el retorno a un estado inorgánico), para analizar la naturaleza humana, la cultura y el desarrollo de la civilización. El libro parte de la premisa de que la humanidad sufre una "neurosis general", un conflicto interno que surge de la represión de los instintos básicos. Brown argumenta que la civilización, tal como la conocemos, se construye sobre esta represión, especialmente de los deseos eróticos, lo que genera una tensión constante entre los impulsos vitales (Eros) y los destructivos (Tánatos). Según Brown, esta represión no solo afecta a los individuos, sino que moldea la historia y las estructuras sociales, perpetuando un ciclo de insatisfacción y conflicto. Uno de los puntos centrales del libro es la idea de que la represión de Eros lleva a la humanidad a buscar "satisfacciones sustitutivas" en formas como el arte, la religión o la política, pero estas nunca logran resolver el conflicto subyacente. Brown propone que la historia humana puede entenderse como una lucha entre estos dos instintos: mientras Eros busca la conexión y la vida, Tánatos impulsa la separación y la muerte. Sin embargo, Brown no se limita a describir este conflicto; también sugiere una posible liberación. Aboga por una reconciliación con nuestros instintos, un retorno a una relación más plena con el cuerpo y el deseo, lo que él ve como una forma de superar la neurosis colectiva. El libro también explora cómo las ideas freudianas pueden aplicarse a la política y la naturaleza humana. Brown, quien escribió en un contexto de posguerra y auge de la contracultura, busca comprender el carácter político de la naturaleza humana y cómo las dinámicas de represión influyen en las estructuras de poder y las ideologías. Su análisis es profundamente interdisciplinario, combinando psicoanálisis con referencias a la literatura clásica, la filosofía y la historia. Aunque el concepto de Eros y Tánatos fue formulado en términos psicoanalíticos en 1959 con el libro Eros y Tánatos: El sentido psicoanalítico de la historia, la humanidad lleva reflexionando sobre estas dos grandes fuerzas desde la Antigüedad. Uno de los testimonios más claros lo encontramos en El banquete de Platón, una obra clave donde el erotismo, el amor y la muerte se entrelazan profundamente. Pedro Bustamante, en Sacrificios y hierogamias, destaca cómo en El banquete Platón ya intuye y articula esta dualidad fundamental a través de la figura de los dos Eros y las dos Afroditas: “Lo mismo sucede con los dos Eros y las dos Afroditas a las que se hace referencia en El banquete de Platón: Eros Uranio y Eros Pandemo, Afrodita Urania y Afrodita Pandemo. Aquí están presentes otra vez los temas de los que venimos tratando, las dos dimensiones de lo sacrificial, la transgresora y la modélica, la maléfica y la benéfica, la ctónica y la urania, la corporal y la espiritual, la inmanente y la trascendente. Lo que hay que subrayar es que esta duplicidad, tanto la de la figura masculina como la de la femenina, que remite en última instancia a la rivalidad y al sacrificio, se da justamente en una obra centrada en el erotismo y el amor.” Bustamante nos invita a entender que esta duplicidad no es un detalle menor, sino el núcleo mismo del relato: Eros Uranio, el amor celeste, espiritual, busca elevar el alma hacia lo divino; mientras que Eros Pandemo, el amor común, más terrenal, se relaciona con los placeres físicos y los impulsos inmediatos. De igual manera, Afrodita Urania y Afrodita Pandemos representan estas dos dimensiones, una trascendente y otra inmanente, una luminosa y otra sombría. Lo fascinante, como señala Bustamante, es cómo Platón entrelaza amor y muerte, deseo y sacrificio, en un mismo tejido simbólico. No es casual —nos recuerda— que el contexto de El banquete sea precisamente una celebración tras una victoria teatral, un certamen de tragedias, un género que, en su origen, estaba vinculado a rituales de sacrificio y a cultos dionisíacos. Así, el banquete no es solo un encuentro festivo, sino también un eco de los antiguos sacrificios, un espacio donde se celebra la vida a la vez que se honra la muerte. Bustamante subraya además que Sócrates, el gran protagonista del diálogo, afirma haber sido iniciado en los misterios del amor por Diotima, quien no solo enseña sobre el erotismo, sino también sobre el sacrificio. Esta doble enseñanza refuerza la idea de que el amor verdadero implica una forma de muerte simbólica: la superación del ego individual para fundirse en algo superior. Finalmente, la estructura dual que Platón propone, esa simetría entre dos Eros y dos Afroditas, queda recogida en una cita que no deja lugar a dudas: "Todos sabemos, en efecto, que no hay Afrodita sin Eros. Por consiguiente, si Afrodita fuera una, uno sería también Eros. Mas como existen dos, existen también necesariamente dos Eros. ¿Y cómo negar que son dos las diosas?” Así, El banquete se revela no solo como un tratado sobre el amor, sino como una profunda meditación sobre la tensión entre creación y destrucción, entre deseo y disolución, entre vida y muerte. Una tensión que sigue latiendo en nuestro inconsciente colectivo hasta nuestros días. Si miramos con atención, podemos imaginar a Eros y Tánatos como dos inmensos vórtices de energía que arrastran todo cuanto existe. Uno impulsa hacia la unión, hacia la creación de vida, hacia el encuentro con el otro; el otro empuja hacia la disolución, hacia el final inevitable, hacia el regreso a la nada. Y entre esos dos remolinos giramos nosotros, los seres humanos, atrapados en un movimiento eterno que da forma a nuestra historia, nuestras pasiones, nuestros miedos. El deseo de amar y ser amados, de fundirnos con otro, de dejar algo que nos trascienda, es la fuerza de Eros en nosotros. Es esa corriente vital que nos empuja a crear, a construir, a soñar. Y, al mismo tiempo, el temor a la muerte, a la pérdida, a la desaparición, a no haber dejado huella, es la expresión de Tánatos, que nos recuerda que somos finitos, que la vida es un préstamo fugaz. Estas dos fuerzas no solo están presentes en los grandes momentos de la historia o en las obras de arte; laten en lo más cotidiano de nuestras vidas. En cada acto de amor, en cada ambición, en cada miedo que sentimos, se manifiestan. Son los motores invisibles que mueven el mundo, los vientos profundos que soplan bajo la superficie de nuestras decisiones y sueños. Quizá entender a Eros y a Tánatos no sea tanto una cuestión de elegir entre uno u otro, sino de aceptar que ambos son necesarios: que la vida nace del deseo y se sostiene en la conciencia de su fragilidad. Que sin amor ni muerte, el mundo quedaría inmóvil. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

We explore an overlooked esoteric giant, an individual considered a main modern Pagan Gnostic and advocate of the concept of Chthonic Gnosis. That is the German philosopher and psychologist Ludwig Klages. Beyond his breathtaking Gnostic metaphysics, we'll find how Klages' work interacts and overlaps with Jung and Nietzsche – and why his views have been erroneously connected to National Socialism. For this odyssey, we have the pleasure of being joined at the Virtual Alexandria by Dr. Paul Bishop, author of Ludwig Klages and the Philosophy of Life.Stream Meet The ArchonsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Thoughts on the Maritime Bell-Beakers, Iberian Graves & Egypt by Stone Age Herbalist. I recently read 'The Horse, the Wheel and Language' by David W Anthony and am almost finished 'Indo-European Poetry and Myth' by ML West but it was really Ludwig Klages mentions of the 'Pelasgians' - a pre-Indo-European people living in Greece that made this essay stand out to me. As a pure hobbyist my intuition is that the 'categories' of archaeological investigations are less stable than a theorist might hope, and the idea of a humming, trading, mutating world in this time is compelling to the imagination especially in light of Uzdavinys' arguments regarding the Egyptian influence on Greece.

This month I chat with David Beth of Theion Publishing, who is also the founder of the Kosmic Gnosis esoteric current. David and I discuss the ancient gods, the proto-human worldview, the stumbling blocks of modern occulture, and a topic near and dear to both of us, the problem with championing spirit over soul (and celestial over chthonic). What would life look like if we didn't rationalize and analyze every experience? David breaks down everything in a way that is easy to understand, and explains how this worldview treats the concepts of Masculine and Feminine. 

We both reference Ludwig Klages' "Of Cosmogonic Eros", which is available through Theion Publishing's website: https://theionpublishing.com/

This latest episode is a very special one as my guest has already been on the show shortly before the first lockdowns started back in spring 2020. Many of you may be familiar with his name and work, as he is a certainly well-known and widely respected practitioner, author and co-owner of Theion Publishing, source of quite a lot of meaningful in-depth books on the occult. It is a huge pleasure to welcome David Beth again and talk with him about Arthur Moros' ‘The Cult of the Black Cube' which has been released this year in a second edition. We'll open up our conversation with the impact of Covid on David personally, on Theion Publishing and how certain creative processes had to endure an involuntary break. Of course, the psychological effects of the pandemic will be a topic as well as the question what a proper process of editing and publishing takes. We then start to explore ‘The Cult of the Black Cube' which has been written under the pseudonym Dr. Arthur Moros and reveal a bit of information about the author next to discussing the background of its first edition 3 years ago and shedding some light onto what role Saturn itself played in the creative process. David provides us with a basic outline of the indeed densely written book's structure and explains the Saturnian experience as a cross-cultural one and Saturnian power as something that is capable to obscure progress but despite all of its negatively perceived aspects is still able to bring us forward by alchemical transmutation. Another aspect of the discussion will be whether and if, how exactly the pandemic might be perceived as an expression of Saturnian forces. In this context we'll talk about linearity of ‘logocentric' worldviews, ‘wokeness', ‘cancel culture' and a lot more. As David has written one chapter of ‘The Cult of the Black Cube' he goes into detail on how modern Saturnian groups suffer from problematic views on the female aspect of Saturn, how a different philosophy would support a more biocentric worldview and the relevance of this Cosmic Gnosis for a practitioner's daily life. Arthur Moros' work is subtitled ‘A Saturnian Grimoire' and David will explain how the use of the rituals in it work regardless of one's own tradition in a quite non-dogmatic way and open a pathway into Saturn's reality. Of course, we'll talk about David's future projects, one of them being a book on Adonism which is soon to be finalised and published as well as a reprint of Ludwig Klages' ‘Cosmogonic Eros' and a few other new books coming out soon. Music played in this episode Well, it has become a habit, and a nice one, that our listeners provide us with the music for our shows! Today we thank LAZULI VANE, a recent fan of this podcast, for making contact and sending us three tracks for this episode. Read what he says about himself: I am a recording artist and poet based in Neptune Beach, FL and my music is influenced heavily by the western occult tradition and a few other traditions besides. I'm a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, have studied various strains of gnosticism and hermeticism privately for over a decade, and regularly practice yoga. Occult subjects have always been a great passion and curiosity of mine.  I'd like to share with you tracks from my most recent album "THE ORPHIC RITE OF THE CULT OF SEDNA", which was a work of magic and depth psychology for me; a reflective process which helped to purge and clarify certain streams of unconscious material running through me.

Professor Richard Wolin (CUNY) delivers a talk on 'Walter Benjamin Meets the Cosmics' for the TORCH Crisis, Extremes, and Apocalypse network. The “Cosmic Circle” was a Männerbund (society of men), anchored by the inimitable Stefan George, that prowled the Bohemian districts of fin-de-siècle Munich. Its members were committed aesthetes who celebrated matriarchy and hierarchy, engaged in séances and bacchanalia, and, during the late 1890s, hatched a improbable scheme to awaken a comatose Nietzsche through free form dance. They flirted with Ariosophy and contributed to Stefan George’s yearbook, Blätter für die Kunst, which unashamedly featured a swastika on its cover. Among its members were: Ludwig Klages, Alfred Schuler, and Karl Wolfskehl – the so-called “Jewish Cosmic.” Walter Benjamin eulogized the Cosmics: he corresponded with Klages and employed their ideas as the methodological cornerstone of his celebrated Arcades Project. Why did he revere their work, and why has the “Cosmic connection” been so little discussed in run-of-the-mill Benjamin scholarship?

Thomas Mann referred to Ludwig Klages (1872-1956) as a “criminal philosopher,” a “Pan-Germanist,” “an irrationalist,” a “Tarzan philosopher,” “a cultural pessimist… the voice of the world’s downfall.” Yet, Walter Benjamin urged his friend Gershom Scholem to read Klage’s latest book in 1930, at a time when Klages was increasingly bending his anti-Semitic philosophy of life (Lebensphilosophie) in a political direction. It was, Benjamin wrote, “without a doubt, a great philosophical work, regardless of the context in which the author may be and remain suspect.” Nitzan Lebovic, historian at Lehigh University, has set himself the task of unfolding the ways in which Klages’s philosophy became both an inspiration for Nazi cultural politics and a subterranean source in the history of critical philosophy from Benjamin to Giorgio Agamben. In this podcast, we discuss his book The Philosophy of Life and Death: Ludwig Klages and the Rise of a Nazi Biopolitics (Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual History, 2013).
