THE NUMINOUS UNCONSCIOUS

THE NUMINOUS UNCONSCIOUS – 10\10 CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES – BIODANZA 

International Biodanza Day / April, 19 2020

By Silvia Signorelli

I’m happy to celebrate Rolando Toro’s birthday and the tenth anniversary of his departure together with all of you with this speech of mine about Numinous Unconscious, the last concept of the Biodanza theory Rolando Toro gifted us before travelling to the stars.

During the speech I’m going to quote Rolando often, I believe this could be the more respectful way to share the Numinous Uncouncious concept, whose vocabulary exclusively belongs to Rolando’s elaboration.

I remember Rolando speaking “the greatness of the human being and the holiness of life haven’t been respected, aren’t respected yet! I will speak to you about Numinous Unconscious then”.

In this moment, when the overall context requires open mind to welcome the change as well as offers a unique opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the social change, I feel the same urgency to share about Numinous Uncouncious, for nourishing a wider vision of the human being as a cosmic being, hoping this strength will help all of us to walk along new paths.

Rolando started his elaboration about the Numinous Uncouncious from a question mark: what does being human really means? and, which aspect of being human is the more repressed in our society? His answer was: “The most repressed aspect of the human being is greatness, splendor, holiness”.

With the Numinous Uncouncious concept as the fourth and deepest layer of the unconscious (Sigmund Freud conceived the personal unconscious, Carl Gustav Jung the collective unconscious and Rolando himself the vital unconscious) Rolando proposes a vision of the human being as expression of the cosmic strength where the human being can freely express the essence of being human: greatness, holiness, splendor, capability of affective bond. The qualities of the intelligence of life and so the qualities of the essence of human being.

This way, the Numinous Uncouncious concept can be seen as a further development of the concept of vital unconscious, the pshichism of cells, the wisdom of cells. In fact, Rolando says: “the psychism of cells is not only organic, it’s cosmic; the heart is not only organic, it’s cosmic”, and “the vital unconscious is in tune with the living essence of the universe”.

We can see even more clearly the connection to the Biocentric Principle: Rolando says: “life is a strength-project that guides the cosmos evolution”. We can say this strength is the same the human being expressess along life through the process of integration. Life is the biological attractor that guide us within the cosmic chaos; with Rolando’s words: “that allows us to go ahead across the chaos, get out from it and bloom in the desert”.

As cosmic being, as expression of life, the human being shares with life the greatness, the brightness, the strength, the splendor.

Rolando says: “I’m sure in each man and each woman there is a seed of infinite greatness… this greatness, this numinous energy, belongs to the human nature, lies in the deepest part of our identity, it’s the primordial human condition.. it’s the infinite human being who expresses Love, Illumination, Courage and Intasis”.

Love, Illumination, Courage and Intasis are the expression of the deity of the human being, of what is really worthy to be called human: the potentials Rolando says “that make the human being positive evolve, that nurture the development of the healthy part of the human being: the greatness, the capability of affective bond”.

The potentials that evolve the human being from the experience of dissociation to the experience of infinite love. More than ever we are experiencing the seven fatal dissociations Rolando identified in our civilization: dissociations between: body and soul; affectivity and rationality; holy and profane; daily and eternal; masculine and feminine. and between myself and the others and between human being and cosmos

More than ever, we need to evolve to the experience of infinite love: “the permanent love for others and for nature, the integration of the human being and all what is existing”.

Love 

“Love is the intrinsic need of the human being to love and be loved. To receive love, loving is necessary, offering tenderness, considering the other as part of myself, act with empathy, nurture friendship Love includes different qualitative forms: communion, being one with; tenderness; passion; epiphanic love that is the unity of souls mentioned by the French philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas.

“Love is a form of integration with the infinite; learning to love with no limits is the top learning. We are often scared about the manifestation of this cosmic strength in our life, but this is the climax of greatness and absolute happiness”.

Illumination 

The possibility to see the best of the others and of the world around. The sensation of generous love with inner clarity.

With our light we can perceive the other, connect to his/her essence and sanctify the other as cosmic brother.

«I believe the knowledgeable is the human being that can really see the other, who can see the other’s soul, as he/she would hold a lantern allowing to enlight the other’s shadow, dissolve the guilty, the rancour, the competition, the cruelty, discovering the other in the essence, unveiling his/her desire to live and be happy» Courage

Courage

The courage I’m talking about is the capability to enter the chaos and get out of it by connecting with an attractor which guides beyond the chaos, an attractor that is the natural expression of the capability to overcome the difficulties, going ahead across the chaos, getting out of it and blooming in the desert»

Tonight, Rodrigo Toro will offer a specific conference about the Courage and I’m really looking forward to hearing from him.

Intasis 

The inner ecstasis The expression of a deep connection with ourselves and the happiness to exist. it refers to a cosmic identity feeling, at cenestesic level, to be part of the universe «it is necessary to connect with the eternal human being who lives inside us, with the inner god, for accessing to the vivencia of the cosmic strength, for feeling us as part of the universe. feeling the presence of the cosmos in the body.

“The status of intasis consists in reawakening the inner god, feel the pureness and the strength of our identity. The intasis allows us to undertake our identity as cosmic beings and as guardians of the power of bond. The intasis is the origin of the ethic consciousness, is the origin of happiness, it’s the access to creativity and to perception of beauty”

I’m concluding now with Rolando’s words again: “the Numinous Uncouncious provides us with the access to the feeling of intimacy, to love with no limits and to creation as revelation / discovery of beauty and mistery”. I believe with the NU we have all we need to experience this difficult time.

A few days ago, a person I love shared with me: a world where we are all separated, a world without the possibility to love, is not a world, it’s a slap to the universe.

I guess we need nothing but dancing the Numinous Uncouncious I’m waiting for this moment again I’m eager, can’t wait more while I’m still listening Rolando saying: vamos hacer la vivencia!
