great posts, can you elaborate on this?

If you identify your "self" with what "is," then you've reached the other side, death is nothing to fear, and all that is important is the complete liberation of your "self."

most traditionalists say its de-identification with the self that conquers death, but i get what you're saying, recognizing your self is not apart from that-which-is, i think.

there's a line in Knight of Cups where Rick's talking about his dream, and he says (though the subtitles will disagree with me, i find this interpretation more evocative) "I was a door I was afraid to go through"

either way I'm gonna start utena today. thanks bud.
