Solving the problem of Astasy

A whole pilgrimage (i.e. the path to self-fulfilment and enstasy, then ecstasy (i.e. being other than the previous self or beyond the self) and joy) begins (as pilgrimage phase 1) when someone experiences incompleteness, i.e. astasy, and, as consequence, unhappiness, suffering, misery and so on). It ends with the attainment of enstasy, i.e. with unit of identity status (experienced as a relative (i.e. to astasy) ecstasy).

Phase 2 of a whole pilgrimage begins with the realisation (as experience) of the relativity of an enstasy, hence of its incompleteness (i.e. to wit, that ‘this (enstasy)’ (Sanskrit: tat) is a actually an astasy – later on that both ‘this’ and ‘that (enstasy)’ (Sanskrit: tva), indeed all enstasies (even the ecstatic enstasies) are astasies).

Phase 2 ends with the elimination of the achieved enstasy i.e. of a particular completeness (i.e. of enstasy), that is to say, by becoming either a different completeness (i.e. a transcendent ecstasy) or by dropping difference (i.e. self) and experience completeness (sans self-as containment), hence absoluteness (as non-identifiable presence without boundary).

Since both pilgrimage phases end, and ending (i.e. the ending speed or momentum) as such that produces the energy surge (or profit) that is experienced as the degrees of happiness, both can be used to achieve the joy of

1. Transcendent ecstasy, when either astasy ends as enstasy, or an enstasy ends (i.e. collides with) a different enstasy.

2. Escendent ecstasy, when stasis (hence (relative) limitation, i.e. self as differentiating boundary) is eliminated, and ‘ens’ as such, i.e. unlimited presence as realness, is experienced (albeit upon re-entry into a particular, hence relative, astasis, now driven to stabilize as an enstasis). Escendent ecstasy (specifically the experience of unlimited (i.e. speed @c, transformed as ecstatic rapture or bliss Sanskrit: ananda) presence (experienced as realness)) is the ultimate mystical experience, to wit, the experience of the ultimate, that is to say, of absolute presence (Sanskrit: asat responded to as sattva), without identity (formless) (Sanskrit: achit, responded to as chit) and unlimited (Sanskrit: ananta, responded to as anta).

In a nutshell, at escendence, the mystic superimposes her residual self-traits (i.e. her primary needs, plus, perhaps, her impurities, i.e. her secondary needs, i.e. self-bits) as it were upon the blank screen of absolute potential (i.e. the Absolute, Sanskrit: nirguna Brahman).
