ABSTRACT

The Epilogue offers some reflections on the place of this conditioned subjective phenomenon, myself, which exists in the flow of events in time and space. Enveloped by and filled with a sense of I-ness, it fears disruption and does all it can to go on being. At the same time, it is aware of its impermanence and attempts to investigate it, holds out a hand to the other who, just like her, struggles to be enveloped and endure.

Inspired by Buddhist and psychoanalytic thought, I revisit some of the most vital subjects discussed in the book: insight into complex causality, disintegration and fear, and feeling held and connected while dwelling in the unknown.
