I have been thinking about Marx for so many years. Who hasn't? The idea of an equal and solidary community, free of ideological superstructures or irrational will-o'-the-wisps. A world that knows only matter and sees in it a scientific, progressive movement. Their goal? A world in which humanity is perfect, i.e. harmonious, without envy and resentment, in solidarity and with equal rights, without alienation and heteronomy, which alone enables the development of the individual within a collective.
Dhis dream of a better future, which will inevitably, following the course of history, necessarily be achieved - albeit in the future - encourages struggle and revolution, but for others also serenity: what can stand in the way of history?
Consciousness is determined by matter, according to Marx. The world as will and imagination, on the other hand, according to Schopenhauer and Kant, ultimately... Why should the world either arise from my imagination or have nothing to do with me? What is wrong with that?
The unfolding of the spirit - based on Hegel - why think so small? In the spirit of the Enlightenment, the aim was to establish a world view that is based purely on science. This protects against charlatans, ideologies, magicians, seducers, warriors and other deceivers.
We have chased away the spirit and replaced it with money, success and power. The wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, the Sermon on the Mount, the shamans and seers, for example, can no longer be found in our cultural identity. They have been declassified as superstructures. The intersubjective, the anchor of one's own consciousness in another consciousness, leads to the path of meditation. Empathy not only shows us that we are not alone, but that we are part of something that goes beyond us.
The color on a canvas means more than just that. As in Jackson Pollock's last painting, it gives us a glimpse of the beginning. Heterogeneity arises from looking at it.
