He has the power of the sky, and his magic sword is in his hand. He has all the power, and he has all the power. He writes red letters, and he spends money like water. His equipment is awesome, and he is blind. He survives alone, and he leads the world. He
Romantic and unrestrained, his wives and concubines are in the woods. He said
He is a must-have, and he attracts all the attention. He has three teachings and nine skills, and he leads the crowd. His swords are not colorless, and he kills those who refuse to obey. He decides that the world is unfair. He logs off and leaves the Internet cafe. He eats a bowl
Instant noodles, it’s time to start moving bricks...
This is a joke that Fang Tian saw on the Internet in his previous life. It can also be said to be a witticism.
At that time, when he saw the last sentence of this passage, Fang Tian finally understood deeply what "divine unfolding" or "divine reversal" meant, and what the finishing touch was, which was far from enough to convey the beauty of it.
Thinking of this passage at this time, I suddenly became inspired by the situation.
When illusion cannot shine into reality, if you over-invest in illusion and enjoy the growth, happiness and glory in illusion, you will eventually be ridiculed or punished by reality.
It's just that such illusions are easy to identify and can be seen through at a glance.
And some things...
"Your joy cannot be maintained forever, just like the color of the clouds in the sky cannot be maintained forever. As time goes by, your joy will gradually fade away. Similarly, when the sun rises, the color of the clouds in the sky will fade away.
It will also slowly fade away. In this way, I see no difference between the two."
Andy answered Ivan's question like this.
Indeed so.
In life, no matter how great the joy or pain is, it will gradually fade away as time goes by, so that it will completely disappear. At that time, you will think about that thing again and want to make yourself happy or happy again.
It's difficult to do even if it hurts.
So another talented man named Nalan Rongruo said something like this, "If life is just like the first time we met." - Why did the original surprise and emotion slowly fade away, so that one day the affectionate and lingering feelings turned into
How about strangers?
Is it really because people’s hearts are fickle? Or was it just that they “lost their eyes and lost their minds” at the beginning?
Could this be another reality defeating illusion?
If the current joy is true, then as time goes by, this "truth" will inevitably dissipate, until another joy or pain comes again, but those will inevitably dissipate again after a period of time, until another time.
Arrive.
——The question is, when those feelings dissipate, what is left in the human heart?
calm?
dull?
Or is it just blank?
The original meaning of calm is to describe the water surface. Using calm to describe the human heart can easily remind people that the human heart is a lake or sea. When the lake and sea have no waves, we say "calm", but when the lake and sea are blown by the wind, they are blown away by the wind.
When something else splashes, there will be ripples or waves.
Are these ripples or waves the kind of joy or sadness?
If this description is true, then the key lies in whether the lake of the human heart remains unchanged as time goes by, or will it dry up or expand, or will it simply be pure or polluted?
If it remains unchanged, then there is no problem, and there is no such thing as practicing or not practicing.
On such a basis, all practices involving the mind are nothing more than idiotic dreams. In other words, they are in vain.
Just like Sisyphus in the ancient Greek mythology in his previous life, this gentleman had to push a stone from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain every day, but the next day, the stone still fell back to its original place, and he had to continue the same work.
…
If this lake and sea will dry up or expand, is it better to dry up or expand?
This is the first question. And the second question is, are there any means or ways to change it in a better direction?
Next, if the lake and sea can be pure or polluted, then, is it better to be pure or polluted?
Some people will say that purity is good, and this is a matter of course.
Actually it is not.
From another perspective, purity is actually a kind of poverty, while pollution can also be said to be a kind of abundance.
Is the newborn's mind pure enough? But if he is not allowed to touch anything and is just locked at the bottom of a well, just like the well where Fang Tian lives now, then, ten, twenty, fifty years from now,
What will it be like?
It’s hard to say what the situation was, but it certainly wasn’t beautiful.
…
This is just "calm", and both plainness and blankness have their own implications. At this moment, Fang Tian thought a lot, a lot.
Why do you think about this?
In his previous life, these had nothing to do with him or his life.
But this life is different.
These things involve his practice and more seriously affect his future path. - How far can you believe that a person who doesn't even know his own character can go forward?
At this moment, Fang Tian also remembered a sentence from Zhuangzi, which was in the chapter "The Great Master", "The limbs are dropped, the intelligence is deposed, and the body is separated from the body to know. It is the same as Datong. This is called sitting and forgetting."
Losing limbs, dethroning intelligence, and leaving the body to know is simply to cultivate a person into a fool or an idiot.
But Zhuangzi was neither a fool nor an idiot.
The reason is very simple. It is impossible for a fool or idiot to write such a wild and imaginative chapter.
Therefore, the "fallen limbs, dethroned intelligence, separated from the body to know" here is just an expedient, a means, not an end.
The purpose is to "be the same as Datong" later.
Datong is also the great road. This sentence means that through such a means, you connect yourself with the hidden "big road".
At this time, Fang Tian remembered the "fasting" of ancient China in his previous life.
Primitive fasting is associated with sacrifices. People generally believe that by purifying the body and mind, one can worship the gods.
In essence, this is Zhuangzi's "same as the Dao", and the content of fasting is also very similar to the content of "degrading the limbs, dethroning intelligence, and leaving the body to know".
So the question is: Can a newborn be "the same as the Dao" without any means? Furthermore, can animals that are more primitive than humans and even grass and trees be "the same as the Dao"?
"Woolen cloth?
Fang Tian did not agree with such a statement.
If this statement is true, if we continue to pursue it indefinitely, we can even deduce that the universe does not need to evolve at all, and it is most appropriate to directly maintain the most primitive "singularity" or chaotic state. That is the most, most, and greatest way.
Why are you still evolving? Aren’t you willing to degenerate!
Therefore, Fang Tian can now basically conclude that "quieting the mind and body" is not the right way to practice, let alone the great road.
But the problem is that, generally speaking, if you want to meditate effectively, you really need this state. This is what puzzles Fang Tian. Why he has basically concluded that it is not the right way, let alone the great way.
The state is actually conducive to spiritual practice?
This is a huge contradiction.
But contradictions are also opportunities.
Once this contradiction is resolved, everything will become clear.
Before, Fang Tian said to Andy and others, "My path is the path that points directly to my heart."
Even if these words are not suspected of being pretentious, they are definitely casual remarks. Of course, they may also be influenced by some novels he read in his previous life. Also, as his practice progresses, Fang Tian becomes more and more
I feel like I like a certain kind of "simplicity".
So, the phrase "directly to the heart" blurted out inadvertently.
But after speaking it out, through the questioning and discussion by Andy and others, and through his own thinking, Fang Tiancai discovered that this was actually a black hole in spiritual practice.
Breaking open this black hole will open up a vast world. In terms of spiritual practice, it will be a great development and achievement no less than the "creation of heaven and earth, fixing fire, water and wind" in myths and legends.
If you can't break it open, I'm afraid it will be swallowed up.
At this time, Fang Tian felt both joy and distress in his heart.
Joy is due to the discovery of opportunity, and distress is for the same reason. - How can we open the door to this opportunity?
The debate among Andy, Falstein and others continues, and even has a trend of getting more and more heated.
Apparently, they also discovered the fascination of this black hole.
Of course, it is also possible because this is the question raised by Fang Tian. - If we figure it out, will we get such a rapid promotion from His Highness Fang Tian?
The eight people present are all top-level magicians.
To use the words of the previous life to describe it, they are all the elites among the elites, well, the real elites. Everyone has several skills.
What's more, in front of Fang Tian, everyone probably had some thoughts on expressing themselves, so the wonderful points of discussion emerged one after another, and in the process of discussion, everyone always showed their expressions.
Thinking or having the color of gain.
On the contrary, Fang Tian remained silent.
As the discussion progressed, and seeing that Fang Tian was only listening, everyone simply abandoned him and only treated him as a transparent person.
Sometimes, when studying a thing, no direct results are obtained, but there are a lot of indirect or additional results.
This was a very common thing in Fang Tian's various project research in his previous life.
It's like someone studying how to lose weight, and in the process invented a wonderful instant noodle recipe. Or like the ancient Liu An, Liu Daxia, and his gang of guys were studying how to make elixirs, but in the process they invented a wonderful recipe for instant noodles.
It's like making tofu.
The same is true for this discussion.
During the discussion, the black hole of "original mind" was not broken, but because the discussants were all extraordinary people, discoveries were made from time to time during discussions and collisions.
Andy thought of the letter Fang Tian replied to Joseph before.
In that letter, Fang Tian taught Joseph how to pierce small figures or throw stone sculptures to better meditate. Andy came to a conclusion at this time, "Vent all kinds of emotions vigorously. The more you vent, the closer you will get to your true heart."
, the more conducive to meditation.”
Fang Tian felt that this man might have always been a convergence sect in spiritual practice, the kind who would forcefully suppress any emotion to calm down, so at this time, things must be reversed at the extreme, and he seized an opportunity and exploded.
When Andy asked Fang Tian for his opinion, Fang Tian smiled and nodded.
This nod contributed to Andy's determination to stand on the sword trial stage. In the future, the name "Andy the Great Demon King" will be resounding throughout the Nine-Star List and the Magic Rookie Hall. It is because of today. Of course, this is a story later.
Eric felt that he used to run around here and there and take pride in his broad knowledge, which was really a very shallow thing.
Compared with His Highness Fang Tian, he is simply ashamed.
So the old man decided to focus on "cutting off all ties and purifying body and mind" in his future practice.
When he asked Fang Tian for his opinion on this, Fang Tian also smiled and nodded. Although purifying the body and mind is not the right way, it can be of great use to this gentleman.
Only when Xu Xiake could calm down every day could he have the opportunity to prepare and complete "Xu Xiake's Travels". If he had just been running around, exhausted during the day, and fell asleep at night, he would be just an ordinary tourist.
Ivan, Falstein and others all came to their own conclusions. Each discovered some shortcomings in their past during this discussion, and decided to make adjustments in future practice. Their adjustments were all strange, almost
A "big turn" in the same pattern, or a big turning point.
The innocent person before decided to turn into a sinister person.
In the past, he was a gentle and gentle man, but he decided that he must raise his head at a 45-degree angle when walking in the future, so as to show his domineering side.
In the past, I meditated for a short period of time and meditated frequently, dozens of times a day. I decided to meditate only once or twice a day in the future and extend the time of each meditation without limit.
…
Being asked all the time, Fang Tian kept smiling and nodding.
So in the end, eight people bowed together and sincerely thanked His Highness Fang Tian for his earnest guidance and selfless teaching. (To be continued)
