Enstasy

 

 

The collision of two enstasies produces the ecstasy experienced as Sat-chit-ananda (i.e. being-bliss-consciousness)

 

Enstasy happens when a self, i.e. an emerged phenomenon experiences neither acceleration nor deceleration.

 

At enstasy, a self is its self perfectly, i.e. perfectly defined and real (i.e. as a steady state). As such it (i.e. the self’s self-representation as real identity) disappears completely. It appears perfectly defined and real to others. In short, it is in locally in touch but cannot touch itself.

 

With the self’s disappearance at enstasy (consequently, absolute ecstasy), so do the self’s regulators, that is to say, the stick (i.e. sorrow, pain, depression and so on) and the carrot (i.e. the various degrees of joy or happiness, well-being, elation and so on).

 

A self (i.e. a relative difference) self-appears (i.e. becomes self-defined and self-real) with acceleration, but loses its initial (i.e. enstatic) self-definition and reality, thereby becoming ecstatic.

 

A self (i.e. a relative difference) self-appears (i.e. becomes self-defined and self-real) with deceleration, but loses its initial (i.e. enstasic) self-definition and reality, thereby becoming ecstatic.

 

Acceleration requires energy. Getting it is an ordeal. When the self is accelerated it slims down, elongates, remaining as a whole, albeit changed. Too much acceleration slims the self to a point, and when identity (and which is always relative) is lost.

Deceleration burns up (or burns out), i.e. slims down and compresses the self. Too much deceleration reduces the self to a point, and when identity (and which is always relative) is lost.

 

At enstasis (the experience of) identity is lost.
