Dialogue 247 How to know the time to die We human beings remain the status of �grelative monism of utilitarianism�h that �galive is virtue and dead is evil�h because we human beings who have �gthinking (concept) of alive/dead�h believe in imperfect intelligence like �gI shall surely die someday�h. �gNewly-born human (Beyond-human)�h can surely decide the time to die because he can reach to have �gunderstanding of alive/dead�h which is perfect intelligence like �gI shall surely die on that day�h. To decide surely the time to die is to have clear-cut standard in order to die. What kind of alive-condition in order to die? I wrote �gthe ABC theory of illness�h in my book �gReality within Sleep and Dream within Reality�h. We human beings have the way of thinking (concept) that �ghealthy is virtue and ill is evil�h which is �grelative monism of utilitarianism�h but ill is substantial and healthy is nothing but absent concept of ill. Simply saying, To live is nothing but to live in shouldering ill same as to live is to live in shouldering death. We are always in ill when we are alive and the degree of illness is changing A�� B��C��A��B��C which is circular motion. We will be able to liberate from ill when we die. In other words, Circular motion A�� B��C��A��B��C stops. We human beings have been repeating the circulation of �gABC condition on illness�h as long as we live on the basis of �g(A) condition on illness�h as healthy, �g(C) condition on illness�h as ill and �g(B) condition on illness�h as ordinary status. Circular motion stops when the circulation of �gABC condition on illness�h stops. It is death when all circular motion stops. It shows that all circular motion stops when a circular motion stops. It is �gthe time to die�h. It is �gthe time to die�h when the circulation of �gABC condition on illness�h stops. We have tremendous number of the circulation of �gABC condition�h. Foundation on the circulation is a day (morning/noon/night) and a year (spring/summer/autumn/winter). All other creatures who have �gfeeling of alive/dead�h know �gthe time to die�h clearly. Chrysalis of cicada comes out of the ground and sings for 7 days in summer and dies in order to be eaten by other creatures after he had lived under the ground for 7 years. Cicada singing for 7 days hiding in the middle of trees appears before other creatures after 7 days. He seems to be saying �gHelp yourself to eat me�h Then aunts get together seem to be saying �gI would like to eat you!�h Those who have �gfeeling of alive/dead�h of �geat/eaten�h know �gthe time (the season) to die�h very well. �gThe time (The season) to die�h is coming when the circulation of a day (morning/noon/night) and a year (spring/summer/autumn/winter) stops. Therefore, To keep regular style of life is must in order to know �gthe time (the season) to die�h. In other words, To live in �gcontinuity�h is fundamental.
