“Death is an unsurpassable limit of human existence... We discover the relationship which is the basis for all feelings of reverence, fear, awe, wonder, sorrow, and deference in the face of something greater and more powerful... Only such a being-unto-death can guarantee the precondition that the Da-sein be able to free itself from its absorption in, its submission and surrender of itself to the things and relationships of everyday living and to return to itself.” HumansFeelingsAbleFacesPowerfulExistenceWonderGreaterReturnSorrowLimitsBasesEverydaySurrenderGuaranteesAweReverenceSubmissionHuman ExistenceAbsorptionDeferenceEveryday Living Author:Medard Boss
“The prevailing attunement is at any given time the condition of our openness for perceiving and dealing with what we encounter; the pitch at which our existence is vibrating. What we call moods, feelings, affects, emotions, and states are the concrete modes in which the possibilities for being open are fulfilled. They are at the same time the modes in which this perceptive openness can be narrowed, distorted, or closed off.” StatesFeelingsGivenEmotionExistenceConditionsPossibilityMoodEncountersOpennessConcreteFulfilledPrevailing Author:Medard Boss
