Gautama’s pilgrimage Phase 2

The actual transcendence mode

 

 

Pilgrimage, Phase 2 (problem solving 2)

Attempting to apply (and make real, i.e. reality test) the virtual knowledge attained at/as the end of Pilgrimage Phase 1, i.e. the attempt to produce an actual ecstasy of transcendence.

 

End of Pilgrimage, Phase 2

Attaining actual samma-sambodhi, i.e. perfectly complete because real (Sansrit: tattva) knowledge, i.e. a real (transcendent) ecstasy (of primary (read: experiential) knowledge).

 

1.      Phase 2 + 1

Enjoying the fruits of actual ecstasy, namely actual happiness, joy, bliss resulting from actual freedom or liberation (Sanskrit: moksha) (from bondage, i.e. to the virtual and relative).

Note: the nirvana achieved via transcendent ecstasy, i.e. via the ecstasy (i.e. as change of state) of transmigration (actually of renewed birth of karmic residue, read: of particular, hence relative order), is temporary, hence incomplete. This is the ‘nirvana in this life’, happening as the ending of deliverance (moksha) (from turbulence, hence disorder) in this life (i.e. as a stable order of 1). Pilgrimage ends merely one (trans-) migration; its inherent incompleteness must be resolved by a further migration. But the Buddha needed to end transmigration (i.e. transmission) completely, hence his urge to get out completely, i.e. via escendence.

2.      Phase 2 + 2

Experiencing (the suffering of) the incompleteness (to wit, of impermanence, Pali: anicca, therefore of anatta) of actual ecstasy, i.e. as the new position (or shore, and which, like its pay-offs, joy and peace (nirvana), does not last; in other words, transcendence (i.e. as in transmigration) means ‘climbing across’ from one frying pan into another (momentarily cooler) frying pan). Renewed incompleteness (and the recognition that all shores (i.e. relative things) are incomplete, drives towards elimination of the drive to a (i.e. any) goal/shore. This is the Start of
