The story of Noah
The story of Noah offers us the same moral about “translation” of lower completed ontological units, for the sake of ontologically higher potency. Noah, in his boat, gathers a family and pairs of animals and thus manages to survive the flood.
Noah’s Ark is a direct extension of Noah’s personality. A similar example is found in dreams with rooms, basements, attics, houses, vehicles, or cities (ref: Jung). In Barca, Noah, in addition to himself and his family, gathers (oppositions) of the completed phenomenon of life – he gathers the sets by understanding (connecting) their opposing constituents (male-female). With all the assemblies in him, Noah can stand above water – Water as the superconscious – Christ walks on water.
This is a moralistic story of purification that also offers us the laws by which purification occurs. If we unite in ourselves “sets of oppositions” (pairs of animals; male-female principle), as lower complete ontological units (cleansed of the human interference), we have a tool with which we can survive the “flood”, taking from our history only the “true”. and destroying everything else. After a flood, we elevate ourselves to a new level of higher potency.
A set of lower ontological definitions for the sake of higher potency is a universal pattern. The pattern is recognized in the language, and all other forms of denotation in general (painting, music, mathematics, etc.). Potentially, the pattern contains the laws of what we call “creativity.”
Wittgenstein uses the same pattern in his Tetractis for the sake of knowing the truth. Monastic life implies the renunciation of excess for the sake of reducing life to lower complete ontological definitions within which it is easier to see God (same pattern).
The narrative can also be recognized in the theory of reincarnation. After the death (flood) the soul joins the collective superconscious. We remember the truths from the lived life that are transferred to a new beginning with the hope that the next life (potency) will be completed. Here we recognize that reincarnation can be defined as individuation through multiple connected lives.
