1. Windon is a closed town. Anyone born here has never left Windon. They are born and die here in an endless cycle. (Whedon is a metaphor for Earth). So, the show imagines an infinite loop of time and space, with 33 years being a cycle. Linear space-time is false, real space-time may be infinite loop. Unless we step out of the causal circle, we will continue in this infinite loop of space and time. The present is the repetition of the past, the future is the repetition of the present, and the three time dimensions of past, future and present are infinitely cycled.
If we can't explore the three dimensions of "past, present and future" in our life, we will grow from 15 to 20 years old. It seems that we are moving forward, but in fact we are still repeating the mistakes of the past until we die. On that day, the cycle of cause and effect starts all over again. "The passage of time does not actually bring anything new. Everything is just a different form of the same cycle, and it is the alternating and superimposed influence of cause and effect." Unless we jump out of this cycle of cause and effect, our life can only be constant repetition .
"Everyone born here will stay here (closed)...a rift in time and space (because of closure, it will lead to an infinite loop), a nuclear power plant owner who is hiding something [1. deceit (lie) 2. Concealment], a town full of lies, infidelity and betrayal, and everyone wants to hide what is really happening here. (Lies, betrayals, hurts, deceit, concealment repeat indefinitely, preventing us from jumping out of the causal loop) ."
If we want to break out of this cycle, we must enter the crack of time and space, that is, to examine the three time and space of "past, present, and future". Only by understanding the cause and effect of these three time and space, we will not fall into the cycle of cause and effect again.
2. There are three dimensions of "past, present and future" in everyone. Just like a plot in the play, three people appear at the same time, the past me, the present me and the future me. The past me and the future me are driven by the present me. In the linear time of modern society, the dimension of the present is missing. We are always striving for the future. We cannot be at ease in the present, and we are anxious in the present.
3. Tanhouse lost everything in the world of the source, he couldn't let go of this pain (pain-driven action of the will), he split his own world into two and created two opposite worlds, Adam's world and Eve's world, a dead knot between these two opposing worlds. Adam wants to destroy the knot, and Eve wants to protect it, two opposing forces that trap everyone in a causal cycle. These two opposing worlds are an illusion, but they do not exist at all. Therefore, the more Adam wants to fight against Eve, or the more Eve wants to fight against Adam, the more impossible it is to solve the problem, and on the contrary, the two sides are trapped deeper and deeper in the causal cycle. What should be done then? To find the origin of the two worlds and not let the two worlds diverge, this problem is solved. How to break the causal cycle? Find the crack in time, at the moment when time stands still, there will be a bridge that connects the three worlds (present, past, future). We must go back to the world of Source, the world of Source is not dual, the world of Source is ternary. The so-called "world of origin" in "Darkness" is actually nothing but the world of the present. The two worlds that Tanhouse differentiated are the world of the past and the world of the future.
4. The opposition between Adam and Eve is a metaphor for the motif of the opposition between men and women. The reconciliation between Jonas and Masa is the reconciliation between the sexes. For a patriarchal society, feminism came into being; one day, when patriarchy disappeared, feminism also disappeared. Therefore, the ideas of male and female rights can only be a transitional link. In the end, men and women must return to the most natural relationship.
5. Claudia is the only superman in the whole play. She overcame fame and fortune and resigned as the first female chairman of the Whedon Nuclear Power Plant; she let go of her obsession with her daughter's love and sent someone to kill herself her daughter, so that she can get her daughter's new life in the future; she also sends her future self to kill her short-sighted self, which is to overcome ego. After doing these things, Clondia is in control, and she is free to traverse the worlds of Jonas and Marta.
6. Emotions will give rise to love and hate, but love and not will lead to hate, love and hate is a cycle. The so-called "passing the relationship" is to jump out of the love-hate cycle. Until today, I don't really understand why Badiou said that resentment and jealousy are not love at all. Fromm’s words are true: love is not to be loved, love is not to be loved by someone, love is to give and give, love is to inspire another, love is to give generously.
7. Starting from the starting point and returning to the starting point again, the starting point is the end point. Some people stay at the starting point all their lives, and some people go back to the starting point after reflection. There seems to be no difference between the two, and they are at the same starting point, but the truths of life they have understood are no longer at the same level. As Zen Master Qingyuan Weixin said: "When the old monk did not practice Zen 30 years ago, he saw mountains as mountains and water as water. Later, when he saw knowledge for himself, there was a place to enter, seeing mountains not mountains, and water not water. Now I have a resting place, and I see mountains as mountains and water as water.”
