Q. How can you rise above the conception of death? A. As I have already said, that the most necessary thing is to play death, and to know what death is. And it is a great learning how to play death. For what we do is a very false thing, and that is we play life when we are subject to death. If we played death it would be a real thing, it would not be a hypocrisy. And it is out of that that we shall discover life. For we experience death by playing life, and we experience life by playing death. What we call death is a death of this body.
