09.05.1999 - Interpretation of dali48
If we recognize that life is the expression of death, that continuity can not be without discontinuity, there is no longer any reason to cling to the one and to fear the other. There is no more ground for the brave and the coward - is then the absence of any reference point. - You are always struggling to keep this eternal friendship beautiful, and that will be quite exhausting for the relationship. But that is the relationship model of the theological traditions, such as Christianity or Hinduism. We worship the seeming eternity of things more than the depth. - Buddhist or Confucian societies are characterized by the non-theist view. Human relations have something of business according to the ancient principle of barter trade. - This eternity is jeopardized by all developments - positive or negative - which takes a relationship completely by itself and independently of our willingness. - The less courageous, but the more resourceful they are doing the whole repressive work, without ever letting a confrontation come about really important things. - They distribute the subterranean death-warning to 1,000 intricate things. All guilt lies in these vain things. - Confidence secured by a pact leads to mistrust - but careful, cautious trust can create very real and intimate relationships! - But even a slight illness implies the possibility of nothingness:
Maybe we lose control of the body, - and mind, - perhaps we are simply lost somewhere. - We should rather note that we are born alone and die alone, - and that this is all right. There is nothing terrible or special about this. Illness brings us back to the bottom of the facts and makes all things so much more direct and immediate. We want to be cured to evade life! - If you have a goal, you try to manipulate the happening and that prevents the healing rather than that it promotes it. - But if you stand up, you are ultimately sitting in the same boat - that birth, age, illness and death, and the anxiety associated with them, are shared experiences, - will create a sense of humility! And that is the beginning of the healing process! - Being cured means strangely, that one is no longer insecured by life. One is capable of facing death without resentment or expectation. - Alcohol produces a supremacy which seems to break all boundaries, and at the same time produces the depression of the knowledge that one still has a body, and the neuroses are heavy on one. - Alcohol gives the conscious drinker the opportunity to experience the cosmic orgasm (Mahasukha). - Alcohol brings to light the nature of the usually-kept neurosis of the drinker. - When his neurosis is severely and strongly displaced, he later forgets what happened while he was drunk, or is very embarrassed to remember. - We tend to throw ourselves entirely upon the pleasant solitude to ignore the depression. - Alcohol dissolves the otherwise usual self-interest a bit. Emotions of inadequacy are also abolished and the confidence is gained that they can be adequately communicated. - The drunkard experiences greater clarity - because he feels more clearly what he really is. - Therefore, he can temporarily get along without daydreams and fantasies. - Alcohol appears to be a weak poison which can be turned into a medicine. - In the Hindu and Buddhist mysticism of India, alcohol is called the drink against death (Amrita) ...
