Lacan's Thinking--"Desire" is "Buddha-nature"

When I read Lacan's "pseudo-subject", it really bothered me for a while. How should I face this "false self"? Without this "pseudo-subject" operating on the "chain of meaning", thinking cannot happen; once you start "thinking", you are already out of "authenticity". It seems that there is no way out!

Just like when I studied Buddhism in the past, I had a deep understanding of the concept of "ego-clinging", but when it comes to the level of life, the "emptiness" after removing "ego-clinging" is really difficult to grasp; Its heart" is the answer, but every time "emptiness" still changes from "nothing" to "nothing". If you think about it carefully, aren't all living things, except for humans, "born out of their minds"? Born, strive to live, and then die; in this way, it seems that all living things have become Buddhas, but only human beings have not.

This "big other" formed by the "meaning chain" and countless "subjects" deeply influences and even controls our thinking; perhaps this is why since ancient times, people have always wanted to explore "truth". I", or the so-called "seeking the way". At the earliest, I also believed that there was a "true self" waiting to be detected within, and then I could live clearly and freely, but decades passed and I didn't find it (perhaps it wasn't serious enough!); I didn't see it until a few years ago. After seeing Wittgenstein, "everything is in sight" suddenly realized that there seems to be no inner definite "what" waiting to be discovered (but it is also unsuitable, and it has been low for a year or two); I recently watched Lacan, I also feel that there really is a "something" (the real world) within, but it can never be obtained, so I can only get as close as possible. Lacan said: "The purpose of psychoanalysis is not to make people happy", but "not to compromise on the road to desire".

At this time, I suddenly felt that everything made sense. There is a "what" there, and we need to move towards "it"; and the "nowhere to live" of "nowhere to live" does not mean that it can be anywhere, but not to stay in one place all the time. If you don't leave, you must continue to move towards "Buddha nature".

Thinking about it carefully, although it seems that we are subject to the influence of the "meaning chain" or the "big other", it seems that we have lost our "subjectivity"; however, our "body" is not also limited to the "universe" In this material dimension, is it impossible to move at will? It is precisely because of the impossibility of "doing whatever you want" that we continue to explore the depths of the universe. Just as the soul's exploration of the "real world" is not for the sake of happiness, the exploration of the mysteries of the universe is also not just for happiness and happiness. In Buddhism, "freeing from suffering" does not mean that we do not expect anything and do nothing, but do not regard the process of progress and exploration as "suffering", and then give up and move forward on the road of desire in order to avoid suffering. That's why the Buddha said, "Everyone has Buddha-nature, and everyone can become a Buddha." This is precisely because everyone has "desire", so everyone has "Buddha-nature"; the "desire" that keeps advancing is "Buddha-nature." ”, and the stagnant “desire” is the source of suffering.

It's like when a person tries to do what he wants to do, others may think that he is very hard, but he does not feel "suffering" himself, and even feels extremely happy; and once the person stops on the road of desire , I just want to get the same result over and over again, and the repeated cycle will make life heavy and stagnant. At this time, the only thing left is the fear of "losing", and it is no longer inseparable from "suffering".

Xerxes' "suffering" is precisely because of the stagnation and repetition of "desire", which is Zeus's punishment for giving man "fire". I can't help but imagine that, in the process of pushing the stone up the mountain, watching the human beings continue to move forward and change because of the fire he brought, is it comforting and satisfying? If you can leave some "something" for human beings so that they can move forward, do you want to repeatedly push the stone up the mountain? (The content of the myth here is wrong, I am deeply sorry, the correct content is as follows. Although it is misused, the scenario is feasible).
