The English got it wrong. It is not ‘Life and Death’. It is Light and Death. Light is what you ‘see’ form and appearance with, situational and beyond. But inside, what you understand with? This is Death. Death is the opposite of light which informs understanding, our sense of identity, the inner senses; knowledge. Death is ‘the gossamer hand of knowledge and knowing’; to know, we must (in some sense(s)) manipulate the remains, because the living thing can never be found — it advances ever beyond our pursuit. The nature of the living being is fundamentally miraculous, and is at once the source and subject of Light and Death. But know this: without Death, what is seen in light cannot be resolved at all. Death is the context against which the shadow of our active conscious participation in reality shines as knowledge, knowing, apprehension, and recognition.
