HYPOTHESIS ON ULYSSES
ENGLISH
Keeping in mind this initial theme that introduces the reader to the story that Ulysses
will tell of his odyssey, to me it seems only right to think that if we want to understand
Homer’s poem on a deep level, we must also consider that Ulysses’ journey after the fall of
Troy is a decision to leave the maternal dimension, and enter the paternal one with more
conviction. This time it is a radical decision, and it leads him not only from the maternal to
the paternal dimensions, but from the earthly one to a cosmic one, from the biological
father to the cosmic father. Ulysses’ return after Troy is like a deep regression that brings
Ulysses back to his intrauterine experience, to the intrauterine incest that had kept him tied
to his mother ever since that phase of his existence. He does this so that he can free himself
of this bond forever. The monsters that Ulysses encounters along the way are monsters that
he already met in his mother’s womb, and especially Polyphemus, the Laestrygonians, the
Sirens, Scylla, Charybdis, in some ways Circe and Calypso, and last of all the Suitors. Ulysses
must re-experience every aspect of the maternal dimension, relive it in all its drama and all
the pleasure that it can offer, so that he can then detach himself from it completely. He must
face the mother who devours and the mother that seduces and castrates, who wants to
devour his life and use him for her own needs. He must unmask his unconscious complicity
with this devouring and castrating mother, and he must muster all the courage he can find to
free himselfof her. This is an enormous task, much more real and challenging than the one
Hercules faces with his 12 labours. We must particularly underline one important aspect: the
gods ordered this regression. Zeus ordered it, and Athena and Hermes are always present
during the most crucial moments. It is a voyage through the abyss of the past and at the
same time, it is a flight towards infinite spaces impossible to imagine. Why is that Zeus and
Athena so intensely want Ulysses to make this journey and accomplish this passage? Here,
going from the maternal to the paternal dimension no longer means simply moving from the
sphere of influence of his mother Anticlea to that of his father Laertes. Here the passage is
even bigger; Ulysses must contact the Cosmic SELF so he can fulfill the purpose that he has
been assigned, the creation of secondary beauty, which the cosmic forces by themselves
cannot achieve. Their forces must combine with human forces to make it possible. It has to
do with the passage of Ulysses from this universe to other universes, something he can do
only with the immortal energy that secondary beauty is made of, a synthesis and
condensation of many types of energy combined together. All this cannot happen without
yet another, even more radical passage: to shift from the status of a mere victim of the many
woes the gods afflict on him, to that of an artist that knows how to transform his own life
and the life of the universe. Thus he can open up to all the infinite universes that are beyond
the limits of this universe.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, of water in general and the powerful symbol of the Great
Mother, is right when he wants to hinder Ulysses’ journey. The true reason behind
Poseidon’s hatred for Ulysses is not to vindicate Polyphemus, whom Ulysses blinded, as it
appears at first sight. The more significant reason is that Poseidon, the Great devouring
Mother, the mythical figure of the Ouroborus as described by E. Neumann, was himself
blinded and deceived by Ulysses while in the shape of Polyphemus. And not only does
Ulysses manage to leave the cave in which Polyphemus held him prisoner, but he manages
to free himself of the suffocating power that surrounds him, and prepares to leave the
womb of this universe and fly towards other universes, as the Cosmic Self wishes him to do.
Poseidon with his trident is the symbol of the phallic mother who believes she has the right
to life or death over her children. How can one not hate this type of mother, and worse, how
can one not adopt the defense mechanism of identifying with the aggressor? But we cannot
build life on hatred and on defense mechanisms. They hold up for a while and then fall to
pieces. Life must be based on love and not on hatred and guilt. Ulysses manages to solve the
problem at its core. For ten years, he travels by sea so he can meet the monsters created by
repressed hatred. After that, he travels by land until he finds complete forgiveness, radical
forgiveness. Forgiveness towards others and towards himself. Forgiveness towards his
mother and towards himself for having hated his mother for so long. Finding total
forgiveness means creating concordance between the conscious I and the unconscious I. In
this manner, there is peace and serenity, the beauty of life and, if there is concordance
between an I and a You, between an I and Others, between an I and the Cosmos, there is
secondary beauty. Ulysses finds it, and because of having found it, he ages happily.When,
during the massacre of the Suitors, we see Telemachus beside Ulysses, we see not only a son
who is fighting alongside his father. We also see Ulysses fighting alongside the Cosmic Self.
He is fighting to overcome the limitations that the laws of physics have assigned to this
universe and thus allow Life as it exists in this universe to fly off, now in immortal form,
towards new universes. It is a bit like what happened in remote times, when life, which had
developed in the oceans in vegetable and animal form, took an impossible flight, and
invaded the yet unexplored spaces of earth and sky. Ulysses with his powerful bow is a
symbol of Life, who shoots an arrow with absolute precision through the twelve axes, one
after the next.
PRIJEVOD
HIPOTEZA O ODISEJI
HRVATSKI
Imajući na umu da ova početna tema uvodi čitatelje u Odisejeve pustolovine činilo mi
se da bi i meni i čitateljima najispravnije bilo shvatititi Homerove pjesme dubokoumnije, te
nužno uzeti u obzir da je Odisejevo putovanje nakon pada Troje ustvari odluka za
napuštanjem materinje dimenzije, ali ujedno i uvjerljiv ulazak u očinsku dimenziju. Ovaj put
donio je radikalnu odluku, koja ne samo da ga vodi od majčinske do očinske dimenzije, nego i
od zemaljske do kozmičke dimenzije, tj. od njegovog biološkog do kozmičkog oca. Odisejev
povratak nakon pada Troje vraća ga u unutarmaterično iskustvo nakon kojeg slijedi
unutarmaterični incest, koji ga na neki način vezuje za njegovu majku od te faze njegove
egzistencije na dalje. Odisej se odvažuje na putovanje kako bi raskinuo te spone jednom
zauvijek. Čudovišta s kojima se na tom putu susreće su ustvari čudovišta s kojima se susreo
još u maternici, osobito s Polifemom, divovima ljudožderima, Sirenama, sa Scilom i
Haribdom, Kirkom i Kalipsom, a naposlijetku i s proscima. Odisej iznova mora doživjeti svaki
aspekt majčinske dimenzije i proživjeti ga kroz vlastitu dramu i sva zadovoljstva koja pruža,
kako bi se u konačnici u potpunosti odvojio od tih aspekata. Mora se suočiti s majkom koja
proždire, majku koja zavodi i kastrira, u cilju da u konačnici proguta i njegov osobni život, te
ga koristi za vlastite potrebe. Odisej mora razotkriti svoje vlastito nesvjesno sudjelovanje u
odnosu s majkom koja ga rastrgava i kastrira, te mora skupiti svu svoju hrabrosti da se
oslobodi od tog odnosa. To mu predstavlja golemi zadatak, veći nego Herkulovo suočavanje s
dvanaest kušnji. Potrebno je istaknuti jedan važan aspekt: bogovi su naredili ovu regresiju, tj.
Zeus ju je naručio, ali su i Atena i Hermes prisutni tijekom najkrucijalnijih trenutaka. Odiseja
je putovanje kroz ponor prošlosti, ali i u isto vrijeme let prema nezamislivim beskonačnim
prostorima. Zašto Zeus i Atena ipak žarko žele da Odisej uspije na svom putovanju? Odlazak
iz majčinske u očinsku dimenziju više ne znači samo promjenu sfere, od utjecaja njegove
majke Antikleje do ujecaja njegova oca Laerta, već prolazi kroz nešto veće: Odisej mora
dotaknuti kozmičkog sebe da bi mogao ispuniti svrhu koja mu je predodređena, stvoriti
sekundarnu ljepotu koju kozmičke sile same po sebi ne mogu postići. Njihove snage moraju
se kombinirati s ljudskim snagama kako bi se to omogućilo. To se povezuje s Odisejevim
odlaskom iz ovog svemira u druge svemire, što može učiniti samo uz besmrtnu energiju koju
crpi iz sekundarne ljepote, koja je napravljena od sinteze i kondenzacije mnogih vrsta
energija u kombinaciji. Sve to nemože se dogoditi bez jednog, još radikalnijeg poteza: pomak
od statusa puke žrtve koju su bogovi opteretili poteškoćama, do umjetnika koji zna
transformirati vlastiti život, ali i život svemira. Na taj način on je u mogućnosti otvoriti se
beskonačnim svemirima koji se nalaze izad granica ovog svemira. Posejdon, bog mora i
općenito vode u pravu je kad želi omesti Odisejevo putovanje. Pravi razlog Posejdonove
mržnje prema Odiseju nije nametanje pravde zbog toga što je oslijepio Polifema, kako se čini
na prvi pogled. Mnogo značajniji razlog je taj da je posesejdon ustvari Velika proždiruća
Majka, mitski lik Urubor, koji se je oslijepio sam, prevaren od strane Odiseja dok je imao
oblik Polifema, kao što je opisao E. Neumann. Osim što se Odisej uspijeva osloboditi iz pećine
u koju ga je Polifem zatočio, već se uspijeva osloboditi od zagušujuće sile koja ga okržuje te
se sprema napustiti utrobu ovog svemira i poletjeti ka drugim svemirima, kao što to
kozmičko „Ja“ želi od njega. Posejdon sa svojim trozupcem simbol je falične majke koja
vjeruje da ima pravo odlučivati o životu ili smrti svoje djece. Kako ne mrziti ovaj tip majke ili
još gore usvojiti obrambeni mehanizam poistovječivanja s agresorom? No, ne možemo
graditi život na mržnji i obrambenom mehanizmu. Nakon toga on putuje Zemljom dok ne
nađe potpuni, radikalni oprost. Oprost prema drugima i oprost prema sebi, tj. oprost prema
sebi i prema svojoj majci koju je toliko dugo mrzio. Pronalaženje ukupnog oprosta znači
stvaranje sklada između svjesnog i nesvjesnog sebe. Na taj način stvara se mir i sklad –
ljepota življenja koja se stvara podudaranjem svjesnog i nesvjesnog sebe, između svjesti
drugih i između sebe i kozmosa u kojem obitava sekundarna ljepota. Odisej pronalazi
traženo i stari sretan jer je to uspio. Kad tijekom masakra nad proscima vidimo Telemaha
pokraj odiseja, ne samo da vidimo sina koji se bori uz oca, već također vidimo Odiseja koji se
bori uz Kozmičkog Sebe. On se bori da predvlada ograničenja koja su zakoni fizike odredili u
ovom Svemiru i na taj način omogućava životu koji postoji u ovom svemiru da odleti, sada u
obliku besmrtnog, prema novom svemiru. To pomalo nalikuje događaju iz davnih vremena,
kada je život, razvijen u oceanu iz životinjskih i biljnih oblika, preuzeo nemogući let i „napao“
još neistražene prostore neba i zemlje. Odisej sa svojim moćnim likom simbol je života koji
ispaljuje strelice s apsolutnom preciznošću mimo dvanaest sjekira, jednu za drugom.
