THE FASCINATION OF MYSTERY

THE FASCINATION OF MYSTERY - by Huberto Rohden

 

 

 

What happens in religion and politics level also happens in the sphere of individual life. Since man can penetrate the inner recesses of something or someone, that something or the person stop exercising attraction and the fascination exercised before. Before, there was the fascination of curiosity... after the discovery and knowledge, the magic of fascination ceases to exist.

 

 

More is the interests in what we obscurely glimpse than of what we see clearly. The "mystery" factor generates admiration and without wonder there is nothing beautiful and attractive. The man unable to admire something is a perverted man, trivialized, tasteless, and a humanity made by these sort of men would be the most tedious and unbearable thing.

 

 

The maximum fascination is in the mystery, the abyss, the darkness, the unknown. Even in purely physical world, there is no real enchantment without mystery; a landscape that lack unknown corners, shadows, darkness, abyss, forests, mountains, seas or any other factors that make more dimly guess from what we could see clearly - this landscape is not interesting for those who still conserve the natural sense of fascination.

 

 

That is why in this respect, man must become like children, for whom everything is mysterious, fascinating, miraculous... because is unknown. The child does not want to know why fairies, dwarves, elves, elementals and others imagination products of mind make this or that; who they are, where they come from, where they go - the child delight in the miraculous and mysterious world of unknown worlds.

 

 

In the context of adult people, the fully probed human soul is not interesting anymore; alias, is a kind of sacrilege to demand that a person, by closest it is, to open widely the secret doors of its inner sanctuary and with no discretion to place on the table, the intimate letters of its human personality - this would be a sort of rape and a compulsory prostitution.

 

 

There are married couples who consider themselves owners of the other marital part, rather than to consider as a friend and ally; they ignore that any human being before being female or  male, it is a personality and that absolutely no intimacy should eclipse the human personality. Where there is not at least one drop of personal incognito, conjugal love is at the eve of unloving, or even true contempt and hatred. The mystery is the necessary basis for the esteem and reverence, without which all love is trivial and void. The mystery is a kind of "chastity," a "pudency" indispensable to love, beauty, happiness.
