There's no life or death

In fact Lacan came up to similar conclussions that many Tibetan buddhists, Taoists and Yogic teachings came but through the use of western philosophy, logic and mathematics.

For example, in psychoanalitic treatment an analyst should serve only the function of the specular Other in the patient’s psyche (and pay with his own Ego, by not engaging with its own imaginary projections) and then cut through its structural iterations (same as a Zen Buddhist master does with its student when he comes with many Egoic questions).

Those “cuts” actually create discorder within an ordered structure and create a new subject.
