The Cycle of Sangsaric Phenomena

Cycle of Sangsaric #I: Realization of death's approach, the fear and anxiety that accompanies this knowledge, and the transformation of the psyche from life to death.

Cycle of Sangsaric #II: Liberation, which the psyche experiences once the death transformation has been completed, takes place. Joy is Nirvana.

Cycle of Sangsaric #III: Deterioration of the psyche, the realization that it has lost its identity and the overpowering desire to seek itself.

Cycle of Sangsaric #IV: Journey of the psyche as it passes through the infinity of death in search of itself. Its visions become less and less defined.

Cycle of Sangsaric #V: Developing sexual fantasies of the psyche take place as it approaches reincarnation. The visions are a manifestation of the psyche.

Cycle of Sangsaric #VI: Moment of conception is taking place. The psyche is drawn into its visions and reestablishes its identity in a new form. The psyche is now to be reborn and continue the sangsaric phenomena.
