Deep Meditation In Death Of A Salesman

In a photographer’s booth, we see the symbol of light where parents are able to look on themselves from the side and they have a possibility to understand that they are intolerable to each other. “The place is shadowed in the mauve light which is apparently necessary”. Unfortunately, they know it from the beginning but they don not want to accept it because it will disturb already chosen path. “…and finally, shocked by their indifference”. The only son, who is going to start an adult life, able to summarize the parents mistakes and to build his future in the light of love, hope and faith. “…into the cold light, I woke up”. No matter what and when we are always know where is the light but sometimes it is easier to wander in a gloom then to find strength to look at the sun.

Meditation is very difficult to describe and can only truly be explained once experienced. It is the practice of mental concentration leading ultimately through a sequence of stages to the final goal of spiritual freedom, nirvana. The purpose of Buddhist meditation is to free ourselves from the delusion and thereby put an end to both ignorance and craving. The Buddhists describe the culminating trance-like state as transient; final Nirvana requires the insight of wisdom. The exercises that are meant to develop wisdom involve meditation on the true nature of reality or the conditioned and unconditioned elements that make up all phenomena. The goal of meditation is to develop a concept in the mind.

This sentence givers light to why he named the book The Luminous Darkness because from any darkness in someone’s life, God still casts His light everywhere. It matters where we get our light from because having the wrong light source can lead to bad things, but with the right light we can create ourselves to be a better human, one who sees how God created us to be.

Light is used in the story to symbolize hope in a world full of despair and dark times. “We could not see our body nor feel it, and in that moment nothing existed save our two hands over a wire glowing in a black abyss” (Rand 60).

The light also meant to symbolize Equality’s new found in a society where hope is outlawed leaving people sad and depressed with no knowledge of other emotion. A light in a world of “darkness” has

Throughout the story Baldwin illustrates that darkness is approaching when he says, “And when light fills the room, the child is filled with darkness. He knows that every time this happens he's moved just a little closer to that darkness outside”(7). The darkness and light Baldwin describes works as cycle, similar to night and day, after light comes darkness and after darkness comes light. The pattern of darkness and light is painted to symbolize the cycle of suffering and salvation, showing without one the other cannot exist. It is how to achieve this balance of light and dark that the narrator struggles with throughout the story. The narrator witnesses many instances of darkness, when his daughter died he wrote, “I was sitting in the living-room in the dark, by myself, and I suddenly thought of Sonny. My trouble made his real”(14). This instance of darkness the narrator depicts shows that suffering hold a present everywhere, it’s universal, and people can cope with their suffering though relating to one another. Furthermore, the recurring idea of darkness throughout the story shows that suffering will always exist and it is a vital part of the human experience. However, one can find the light, escaping the darkness for a moment, through relating to one another and showing compassion. In essence, the symbols light and darkness are used to develop Baldwins theme that suffering is

John Milton’s’ poem “When I consider how my light is spent” is a great piece of art that he creates during his blindness. The sarcasm and the word choice in this poem also have a great impact on how he masts feel. Milton also presents us with a key point on how God plays an important part in his point of view and his life. One of the best thing of this poem is the tone and the feelings that where put into it.

A parable that Joy told Dan while he was in the hospital was about a man having a troubles on his farm, but he would never say whether he thought that it was good luck or bad luck. Each of the situations that happened to the old man could have been taken either way. Dan's accident could have been looked at the same way; either it was good luck or bad luck, which apply to the reasons why he may have had the accident. One reason that Dan may have had the accident was that he was not supposed to attend the World Gymnastics Championships in Yugoslavia. It may have been that Socrates new of something that was bound to happen when he was there that could have been more damaging physically or mentally to his warrior training.

"The first precept was never to accept a thing as true until I knew it as such without a single doubt."

He then runs into his coach who tells Dan he will never be able to compete again, which in return causes Dan to lose all hope. Dan has nothing to live for now if gymnastic is gone. He enters a state of ultimate lifelessness. Luckily Socrates steps in with his wise wisdom and explains to Dan that having true strength is now knowing. He tells Dan that everything in life has a purpose one just has to find it.

In Robert Frost’s poem “When I Consider How My Light is Spent,” by John Milton, the poet who is also the speaker reflects upon himself. Milton considers how his “light” (line 1) is used up or wasted as he is growing in blindness. He feels useless. The symbolism of what he refers to as “light” also serves as his deeply religious beliefs. To which he describes an inner light or spiritual capacity. The Poet references a scripture in is poem and implies how God expects him to make full use of his ability as a writer. Even if he cannot see the paper on which he writes. Though the talent of this poet may seem to come in an end as he is losing his sight however he aims to persuade the reader the very important lesson it carries out.

When discussing the relationship of brain and behavior, the materialist view of human experience runs into conflict with the historically dominant religious accounts. Recent studies, however, suggests that there may be a "middle view" between the two world-views. Religions, especially Buddhism, stress the role of meditation in one's spiritual growth. Meditation has tangible psychological and physiological benefits, though, which can be explained strictly in neurobiological terms. Understanding of how meditation affects the brain, and, by extension, human behavior, also gives insight into consciousness, the role of feedback loops, and the nature of the I-function.
