Not on purpose, but consciously.

25

I remember a parable when a tiger chased a traveler, and he hung on a branch over a precipice. Above him is a tiger, and below are rocks. And so he saw a strawberry berry, plucked it and ate it … how delicious it was!

Like, for example, in the movie "Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door".

Just the other day (regarding the writing of these lines), our resident "faded away", we could directly see how it happened, because it lasted only a few hours – the fading of consciousness. She won't come to it anymore. I.e., the body is here, but the person, as we knew her, is no longer there.

28

And we don't question it.

There is no charge in this. It's not about the fact that if there's no one around you, it's because you're a fool yourself.

Or "Boshetunmai" by V. Tsoi – don't sell.

We emphasize more than once that it is not so much words that work here, as the inner world, the content of the psychologist himself (or the person who chose to be around); and we are not talking about fanatical adherence to existential psychology, but about the resonance of its ideas (see in more detail: Basov I. A. Psychological support of people at a late age (for example programs of psychological support for the elderly and disabled living in a boarding house based on an existential approach): An educational and methodological manual. / I. A. Basov – St. Petersburg: NIC ART, 2017.).

What is reflected in psychology as a "Crisis of 3 years", when a child "discovers" that he is the same person as others, and the pronoun "I" appears in his speech. I.e., before this period, the child does not yet identify himself with the body, with a character; he says, for example, "Ilya wants to eat, Ilya has fallen, Ilya is playing with a toy car."

In which we would highlight, and even give the palm of primacy, to the existential school.

37

That would lead to separation, continuation of internal and external war, withdrawal from a holistic position (loss of a holistic vision).
