Understanding
ecstasy
An ek’stasis
(or ec’stasis), therefore an ecstasy, happens 1.
By changing (and which includes
increasing) a stand/state; for instance, by becoming
(or
accessing) another
state.
That happens when a particular (i.e. relative) self (i.e. a relative
differential) changes (i.e. transcends) from one (steady) state (i.e.
from one unit of identity) to another steady state (i.e. either by expansion
or alteration), for instance by adding (i.e. fusing with new) self-bits. At
fusion, the self may achieve either 1.
relative acceleration (increase of energy), self represented as joy 2.
or relative deceleration (i.e. decrease of energy), self-represented
as sorrow. 2.
By reducing a (i.e. some,
i.e. any) particular (i.e. the relative) stand/state. By eliminating (i.e. escending)
part of itself, i.e. by contracting its boundary, the self releases (i.e. fissions
off) the (relative) speed (read: energy) locked into the self-bit which has
been eliminated. At fission, the self may experience either 1.
relative acceleration (increase of energy), self represented as joy 2.
or relative deceleration (i.e. decrease of energy), self-represented
as sorrow. ---------------------------------------- 3.
Mystic
escendence (rather
than transcendence) ecstasy
happens By (almost) completely
relinquishing (i.e. reducing to nil, hence voiding, getting out of) a stand/state (i.e. the elimination of all relativity). That
happens when a self eliminates all difference, that is to say, it self
eliminates, thereby releasing all the speed (or energy) stored in all its
self-bits. In short, such an escendent ecstasy (called mystic ecstasy)
happens when an individual completely relinquishes the self (or simulates
complete relinquishment of the self, i.e. hence of the relative). As long as
a bit of self remains, then the mystic ecstasy is transcendent. When that happens, the mystic
‘experiences’ speed (or energy) without boundary (hence all pervading
presence or non-presence), hence the absolute (c or constant) prior to
relativity (i.e. selfhood). Upon re-accessing (i.e. re-entering) the initial
self-bits, the vastly increased speed/energy (now slightly diminished by
initial self-drag) is interpreted either 1.
as absolute (i.e. @c) acceleration (i.e. as total energy), self
represented as ecstatic (because overwhelming) rapture (joy or bliss). 2.
or as absolute (i.e. @c) deceleration (i.e. as total lack of energy),
self-represented as ecstatic (because overwhelming) sorrow (unhappiness or
misery). In short, whether or not an ecstasy (i.e. a
getting out of a state) is experienced as joyful (read: positive) or
sorrowful (read: negative) depends on whether or not it results in
acceleration (increased energy, i.e. elation) or deceleration (decreased
energy, i.e. depression). The bi-polar affect of ecstasy is rarely reported
by pilgrims, nor, indeed, by mystics. About 10% of the female population
regularly experience pos. and neg. ecstasy to such an intensity (and
duration) that they require medication. |
