Status Updates From The Atman Project: A Transp...

the great dynamic of the self is to recapture or return to the original Oneness. But to actually return to that Oneness means a death and dissolution of the self, and this death is precisely what is now avoided or resisted. And there is the dilemma - the self wants that Unity, but seeks it in a way that absolutely prevents it.

For the existentialists tell us that the meaning of life is the same thing as the wishing for life, and one can summon the courage to wish one's life only by facing one's death.

Men and women, that is, have two choices in the face of death and thanatos: they can deny and repress it, or they can transcend it in the superconscious All.

The individual learns to see thoughts of yesterday as present occurrences, and anticipations of tomorrow as present activities...to the extent that the individual succeeds globally in this translation, he then transforms to existential time; the whole abstract and ghostly world of linear time - now that it has served its purpose - collapses into the intensity of the present.

Let us note that triad: by differentiating the self from an object, the self transcends that object and thus can operate upon it.
