Philosophy of life through death.

 Philosophy of life through death.

"Let's get rid of the strangeness of death, know it, and get used to it. Above all else, let's think of it most often.

Let's picture every aspect of death in our imagination at every moment. Where death awaits us is uncertain. To think ahead of death is to think ahead to freedom. He who learns to die has erased how to become a slave. Once you know how to die, you are free from all dependencies and constraints. "

- Michel de Montaigne

​

The problem with humans is that they know death. But I'm afraid to push this awareness further.

It's like standing on the shore in front of a huge sea and turning your back on it, unable to explore any more.

The purpose of the ritual is always to go as far as possible. That is the source of our strength as servants and our calling. The philosophy we will adopt now depends on whether we can do the opposite of what we normally feel toward death. It's about going as far as you can go, looking closer and deeper into death, leaving the coast to explore different approaches to life and death.

​

Be aware of it vividly.​

Fear turns death into an abstract one. Occasionally switch to embracing and repressing thoughts. Life is not a thought. Life is a supremely concrete reality.

Without death there is no life. Death is just as real as life.

The idea that what we see is stable and solid is an illusion. Be fully aware that life is not eternal. Try to see the world as if you were the last to see everything around you, the sights and sounds you see and hear every day.

“If humans don’t disappear like the dew on the graveyard of Adashi, disappear like the smoke that covers Mt. Toribe, and remain in the world forever, how can the power that moves us disappear! The most precious thing in life is that uncertainty. am."

- Yoshida Kenko

​

Open your eyes to the shortness of life.​

When we are unconsciously cut off from our awareness of death, our relationship with time becomes somewhat loose and lax. You get the illusion that you have more time than you really do. The mind drifts to a future full of hopes and wishes. Even if you have a plan or goal, it becomes difficult to put a lot of energy into it.

Death should also be thought of as a series of successive deadlines. You have to be aware of reality and think deeply about it.

Why do you have to try something? Don't define yourself as living for the sake of immediate pleasure because you think you'll die eventually. This is not a realistic idea, just another form of avoidance.

To be completely absorbed in pleasure is to avoid thinking about the cost of it.

You think that if you let the thoughts of death flow, you can deceive it.

​

"The degree of loathing of death is proportional to the perception of living in vain."

- William Hazlitt

​

Realizing that life is short makes it clear what to do every day.

There are goals to achieve, projects to complete, and relationships to improve.

​

See the death of all.​

You have to start small. First, look at the people around you at home or at work and imagine their deaths and see how that suddenly changes your perception of that person.

​

"The deep pain you feel whenever someone close to you dies comes from the feeling that something indescribable that only that person possessed has completely disappeared from the world."

- Schopenhauer

​

I have to experience for myself that I am not the only one at risk of death or suffering. extend this It's hard to keep up with the feeling that I'm a great person, that I'm special and that the pain I'm going through is different.

When we feel closer to people through our common destiny, death, we will be able to embrace and treat many human natures with dignity.

​

Embrace all pain and adversity.​

Life entails pain and suffering. Its ultimate form is death. Faced with this reality, humans can make choices.

Avoidance out of fear of death makes you run further away from difficult situations, complaining about the pain that life inflicts on you and the things others don't do for you. The negative paradoxical effect of death takes over.

Amor party, even in the future. In the past, forever.

We must not just endure the inevitable, we must love it.

Affirm life itself and accept all possibilities.

​

Open your heart to the sublime.​

Confrontation with the unknown, the unspeakable, the sublime.

The etymology of the sublime means to face the limits.

I realize how small I am compared to what is vast and powerful than my insignificant will.

Feeling sublime is the perfect antidote to the little worries of everyday life that exhaust and empty you out of complacency.

​

Ever since humans became conscious, the awareness of death has terrified us. In an unknown way, this fear shaped beliefs, religions, institutions, and all kinds of behavior. Humans have become slaves to fear and avoidance. Conversely, if he becomes more aware of this death, he can taste true freedom. You no longer feel the need to constrain your thoughts and actions to make life predictable. You can be bolder without fearing the consequences. You can cut out the delusions and addictions that you employ to numb your anxiety.

Once you've experienced even a little bit of freedom, you'll want to explore and expand your possibilities even more.
