In abstract terms, death is decomposition, or, disintegration; the consequence of the cessation of incorporation. The genital body, the body composed of nuclear cells is subject to decomposition. Biology and psychology are analogical in relation to each other; the disintegration of the ego body is analagous to the disintegration of the material body.

Integration is to disintegration as energy is to entropy. Energy is an abstraction from the desire for disequilibrium and entropy is an abstraction from the desire for equilibrium. A polarized body is a body in disequilibrium. There is, O Monks, an unpolarized body, a body in equilibrium. At equilibrium the positive and negative poles cease to exist, and the body is no longer divided into genders and generations. Zero is the source of all numbers. Equilibrium is the source of disequilibrium. Birth is the unfolding of a disequilibrious body from the body of equilibrium; death is the refolding.

Well anyway, that's how it looks to me, sitting here, looking out on Harris Creek.
