Dancing Eros, Thaum Thanatos: Investigating lub neej, Tuag, Rebirth to “Nothing is more creative than death, since it is the whole secret of life. It means that the past must be abandoned, that the unknown cannot be avoided, that ‘I’ cannot continue, and that nothing can be ultimately fixed. When a man knows this, he lives for the first time in his life. By holding his breath, he loses it. By letting go he finds it.” –Alan Watts There is such a thing as a beautiful death. A larva goes to sleep and awakens as a ladybug. A grub spins a black carapace before becoming a honeybee. A caterpillar weaves a silken cocoon where it transforms into a butterfly. Piv, we fall asleep, we die in our dreams, and we are reborn upon awakening. Life and death are not opposite forces. Mus cuag, they are two distinct ways of perceiving the same force. Los sis, contrastingly, as Epicurus was believed to have said, “Death is nothing to us, since when we exist, death is not present to us, and when death is present, we have no existence.” According to Sigmund Freud, humans have a life instinct, which he named “Eros.” But Freud thought that the sex drive was the primary repression issue regarding the human condition not the death drive. Ernest Becker corrected Freud’s dogmatic rigidness with sexuality by pointing out that, “Man’s body was a curse of fate, and culture was built upon repression –not because man was a seeker of sexuality, of pleasure, of life and expansiveness, as Freud thought, but because man was also primarily an avoider of death. Consciousness of death is the primary repression, not sexuality.” He thereby refined “the death drive,” which was coined as “Thanatos” by Herbert Marcuse years earlier. But Thanatos can actually motivate and activate Eros. Death is like compost. Contemplating death is like compost for the soul. Just as compost helps cultivate a healthy garden, contemplation of death encourages a healthy vigorous soul. We are more likely to be proactive life-affirmers and life-achievers, rather than inactive victims of life, when we take death into consideration and meditate on it. Those of us who meditate regularly are familiar with that translucent coalescence that occurs between life-affirming energy and death-defining vitality; especially while meditating on the crown thiab third-eye chakras, where time and space, life and death, finitude and the infinite, all combine to reveal the awesome interconnectedness of all things. If we practice meditation long enough we discover that the birth-death-rebirth cycle applies not only to a lifetime, but to each moment, from moment to moment. A new self constantly emerges. qhov tseeb, a new self emerges every second of everyday. Carpe puctum leads to carpe diem leads to carpe vita with each breath. With each inhalation we are born. With each exhalation we die. And within the next breath we are reborn again. When we let go of what we are, we become what we might be. When we let go of what we might be, we become what we are. Like Alan Watts ingeniously opined, “The movement in which I am a pattern or convolution began incalculable ages before the (conventional isolated) event called birth, and will continue long after the event called death. Only words and conventions can isolate us from the entirely undefinable something which is everything.” Indeed, learning that we die over and over again is learning how to truly live. But we cannot achieve authentic engagement with our lives by acting out the conditioned reflexes of hand-me-down traditions. Tsis yog, we achieve it by undergoing a process of discovery that requires a different kind of death, a letting go, a psychosocial death of the comfortable and the familiar. And then a rebirth, a passionate delving into the Abyss of the Self: with its orgies of pain, its orneriness of angst, and the certain defeat of our expectations. Li sau tau Simone De Beauvoir, “Man lives within the transitory or not at all. He must regard his undertakings as finite and will them absolutely.” It is in the transitory, in the fleeting moments and ephemeral seconds, where we are most truly human. The Life-death-rebirth metamorphosis only seems complicated because we are stuck in a way of thinking that we’ve inherited from our language, culture, and environment. But once we become more aware that change is inevitable, we realize that it isn’t as complicated as we imagined it would be. Life goes on. The process continues. The life-death-rebirth process cycles through every moment. Change is absolute, but its beauty is in vicissitude, in the ups and downs, within the immanent quality of being in awe of not knowing what will happen next in our lives. Like Laurence Gonzales wrote in Surviving Survival “The true transformation in the journey comes when you see the amazing beauty of the place in which you are trapped. This is the vision of the vision quest. You embrace the pain, discard your concerns about death, and then the world opens up to you.” We’re all “trapped.” None of us chose to be born. None of us chose the hands we were dealt. Or if we did, we have forgotten that we did. Thiab cov uas zoo. That’s the beauty of it. When we embrace the pain of life, the pain is assuaged. When we contemplate the dread of death, the dread dissipates and death is cast-off. When the boundaries of the self are blurred, death becomes less of a full stop and more of an ellipsis. Then the entire cosmos opens up to us, merges with us, becomes us. And so Thanatos defines Eros, and through their embrace our own truly authentic engagement with life becomes a possibility.

Dancing Eros, Hidden Thanatos: Istražujući život, Smrt, Rebirth Cycle "Ništa nije više kreativniji od smrti, jer je cijeli tajna života. To znači da prošlost mora biti napuštena, da nije poznato ne može se izbjeći, da je 'ja’ ne može nastaviti, i da se ništa ne može biti na kraju fiksne. Kad čovjek zna, on živi po prvi put u životu. Održavanjem dah, on gubi. Do puštajući ga nađe. "-Alan Watts Postoji takva stvar kao što je lijepa smrt. A Larva ide na spavanje i budi kao Ladybug. A grub vrti crni lub prije nego što postane pčela. A gusjenica plete svilenom čaura gdje se pretvara u leptira. Slično, zaspimo, umremo u našim snovima, i mi se ponovo roditi nakon buđenja. Život i smrt nisu suprotne sile. Naprotiv, oni su dva različita načina percipiranja iste snage. Ili, Nasuprot, kao što je vjerovao Epikur da je rekao, "Smrt je ništa za nas, Od kada postojimo, smrt nije prisutan u nama, a kada je prisutna smrt, nemamo postojanja. Prema Sigmund Freud, ljudi imaju život instinkt, koja je pod nazivom "Eros." Ali Freud mislio da je seksualni nagon je primarni problem represije u vezi ljudskog stanja ne smrti disk. Ernest Becker ispraviti Freud je dogmatske krutošću sa seksualnošću ističući da, "Čovjek je tijelo je prokletstvo sudbine, i kultura je izgrađena na represije-ne zato što čovjek bio azila seksualnosti, zadovoljstva, života i ekspanzivnost, kao mislio Freud, već zato što je bio prvenstveno avoider smrti. Svest smrti je primarni represije, Ne seksualnost. "On je time rafinirani" smrti pogon,"Koji je skovao kao" Tanatos "Herbert Marcuse godina ranije. Ali Thanatos zapravo može motivirati i aktivirati Eros. Smrt je kao kompost. Razmišljajući o smrti je kao kompost za dušu. Baš kao kompost pomaže kultiviraju zdrav vrt, razmišljanje o smrti podstiče zdrav energična dušu. Mi smo češće budu proaktivni život affirmers i život dostignuća, nego neaktivni žrtve života, kada uzmemo smrti u obzir i meditira na nju. Oni od nas koji redovito meditiraju su upoznati sa tim prozračno srastanje koji se javlja između energetskih života potvrdivši i vitalnost smrti-definiranje; pogotovo dok meditiramo na krunu i treće-eye čakre, gdje vremena i prostora, života i smrti, konačnost i beskonačno, sve zajedno da otkrije strašan povezanosti svih stvari. Ako prakticiraju meditaciju dovoljno dugo smo otkrili da je rođenje-smrt-ponovno rođenje ciklusa se ne odnosi samo na životno, ali da se u svakom trenutku, iz trenutka u trenutak. Novi sebe stalno pojavljuje. In fact, novi self pojavljuje svake sekunde svakodnevnog. Carpe puctum dovodi do Carpe Diem dovodi do carpe vita sa svakim dahom. Sa svakim udisanjem smo rođeni. Sa svakim izdisanje umiremo. I u narednih daha smo se opet preporoditi. Kad smo pusti onoga što smo, postajemo ono što bi moglo biti. Kad smo pusti onoga što bismo mogli biti, postajemo ono što jesmo. Kao Alan Watts genijalno smatrali, "Pokret u kojem sam ja obrazac ili spiralom počeo neprocjenjive doba prije (konvencionalnih izolirani) manifestacija pod nazivom rođenja, i nastavit će se dugo nakon događaja pod nazivom smrti. Samo riječi i konvencije nas može izolirati iz potpuno nedefinisan nešto što je sve. "Zaista, učenje da umremo iznova i iznova uči kako da istinski žive. Ali ne možemo ostvariti autentični angažman u našim životima djelujući izvan uslovljene reflekse tradicija ručno me-down. Ne, postižemo ga prolazi kroz proces otkrivanja koja zahtijeva drugu vrstu smrti, a puštajući, psihosocijalna smrti udobno i poznato. A onda je ponovno rođenje, strastveni pronicanje u ponor Sopstva: sa svojim orgijama bola, svoje orneriness angsta, i određene poraza naših očekivanja. Like Simone De Beauvoir wrote, "Čovjek živi u prolazne ili ne na sve. On mora smatraju svoju subjekata kao konačan i da će ih apsolutno. "To je u prolazne, u prolazne trenutke i efemerne sekundi, gdje smo najviše istinski ljudsko. Život-smrt-ponovno rođenje metamorfoze izgleda samo komplicirano jer smo se zaglavili na način razmišljanja koji smo naslijedili od naših jezika, kultura, i okoliš. Ali kada smo postali svjesni da je promjena neizbježna, shvatimo da to nije tako komplikovano kao što smo zamišljali da će biti. Život ide dalje. Proces se nastavlja. Život-smrt-ponovno rođenje proces ciklusa kroz svaki trenutak. Promjena je apsolutna, ali svojom ljepotom u preokret, u uspone i padove, u imanentne kvaliteta biti u strahopoštovanje ne znajući što će se dogoditi u našim životima. Kao Laurence Gonzales je napisao u Surviving Opstanak "Pravi transformacije u putovanju dolazi kada vidite zapanjujuće ljepote mjesto u kojem ste se zarobljeni. To je vizija vizije Quest. Vi prigrliti bol, odbaciti svoju zabrinutost o smrti, a onda svijet otvara vam. Svi smo "zarobljeni." Niko od nas izabrao da se rodi. Niko od nas nije izabrao rukama smo bavili. Ili ako jesmo, smo zaboravili da smo uradili. I to je u redu. To je ljepota ga. Kada smo prigrliti bol života, bol je ublažila. Kada smo promišlja strah od smrti, je strah rasipaju i smrti je cast-off. Kada se zamaglio granice sebe, smrt postaje manje tačku i više elipsu. Tada je cijeli kosmos otvara do nas, spaja s nama, nam postaje. I tako Thanatos definira Eros, i kroz svoje zagrljaj naše istinski autentični angažman u životu postaje mogućnost. Image Source:
