Asceticism as the experience in overcoming of disintegration of corporeality and the practice of its synthesis

The generally accepted view is that the asceticism as religiously attributing phenomenon is described as the intention to conquer the body with its natural claims. Furthermore, as a rule, the body is considered as a prison of the soul, paralyzing it, hindering the beginning of a truly spiritual life. However, even in different religions, such an idea of the body and corporeality is regarded as radical. This research is focused on the anthropological problem of modern human - the betrayal of his own body, his loss, transformation into a thing or a machine, and the conversion of the whole complex of corporeality into an industry. Such an ontological strategy indicates an insufficient self-knowledge, the lack of demand for such knowledge and, as a result, leads to the entropy of the subject of personality, which, in turn, can be maximally expressed in the metaphor of phantom pain. The idea that asceticism as a complex of practices does not reject and not despise the body, but returns to it the value of a metacategory, an organ of the soul, a material continuum of expression and experience is substantiated. Asceticism helps to integrate the body into a complex of corporeality, thereby to overcome the existing, accelerating discontinuity in the human self-perceptions.
