If for love hate and for death life are opposites, then in the 'other way round' of love and death the opposites cancel each other out. For this, the simple, only mirroring consciousness must be distinguished from the deeper awareness, which can only be experienced securely in a self-analytical practice (an-alytical psychocatharsis). The author also shows by means of contrasts in other areas that a new view, indeed a kind of vision, can expand conventional psychoanalysis by means of such a practice. It contains not only analytical but also meditative aspects and can thus be learned by everyone himself - as also described in the book.
