"In ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of the underworld weighs the heart and feathers. Does that mean he weighs the soul?" Since he talked about other civilizations' views on civilization, I can boldly ask.
"Yes, the heart is close to the middle Dantian, where the human soul resides. Every race has a legend about the soul. Can you still say that the soul is nonsense? Back to the mind, I think the mind is the human soul talking to you.
In other words, it is the human soul that controls your body."
"Is it possible for a human soul to cultivate on its own and run away on its own?", I thought of him saying that neither the heavenly soul nor the earthly soul can cultivate on its own.
"It's possible. How did corpse dissection come about? The ultimate immortality that our Taoists emphasize is that the physical body and the soul are immortal and live forever together. But the physical body is not easy to cultivate, and it will age over time. And the soul also
That is, the soul will not age, so if there is no other way, the body can only be dismembered, and then the soul can be reincarnated or find a new body. And it must be done as soon as possible, otherwise there will only be a soul without a body, and it will still be alive.
He will be punished by God. Li Tieguai, who is one of the Eight Immortals like me, knows that his physical body is gone and his soul has no place to go, so he can only find a lame man who has just died to possess him."
"His story is well-known to every household, and he seems to be a typical example of emphasizing the internal rather than the external. Let's talk about the soul first. If there is only a soul, is it the same as a ghost? Then you can become a ghost." I first asked my own question, Tieguai.
Li Hao said, knowing Lu Zu, how could he stay so far away?
"Gui Xian is a person who after death, the soul does not die, so he practices. This seems to be the same as corpse dissection. But the biggest difference is that one is life and the other is death. Life returns to heaven, and death returns to earth. Use
Now speaking, the household registrations are all different. Moreover, one is voluntary and the other is forced, how can they be the same?"
"If it is voluntary, does suicide count as autopsy?"
"It doesn't count! Dismemberment is a forced choice when the physical body has reached the point where it can no longer hold on, and the soul is extremely powerful. Suicide is against the harmony of nature, how can this be confused."
"Oh, let's continue talking about Yuanshen. Yuanshen is the guy who talks in my head, so why can I quarrel with myself sometimes?"
"Then there are two possibilities. The first is that if the three corpses are not killed, there will be occasional conversations between the three corpses, and you will hear another voice in your head. This is normal. The other one is more troublesome, maybe
It’s your inner demon.”
"Why did you mention the inner demon again?" This is a new term.
"It's not surprising, inner demons are always there, no matter you are an ordinary person or a practitioner. Have you ever picked up money on the street, and then a voice asked you to keep it, and a voice asked you to hand it over?",
The Taoist priest gave an example.
"Yes, everyone has it, and whether to eat hot pot or barbecue when eating."
"The one you are eating is not your inner demon, it is most likely your true self." The Taoist priest looked at me helplessly.
"But how to distinguish whether it's my true self or my inner demon?" Actually, I don't think there is any difference. Sometimes I quarrel with myself over hot pot and barbecue.
"It's very simple. The ego will not let you do bad things. It only follows your own desires. When you eat ice cream or milk tea, it will come out. But the inner demon will induce you to do bad things, such as do you want to take other people's money?
Do you want to steal small things? This is all caused by inner demons."
"Then what if you get rid of your inner demons?"
"It's difficult. If there is a mind, there will be an inner demon. The inner demon is the two sides of you. Maybe it's hiding in your true self, maybe it's hiding in your evil corpse, or it's even hiding in one of your souls. It can mess with you.
I couldn’t sleep with my thoughts all night long.”
"Doesn't that mean there's no way to deal with him?" I felt like I had no idea what to do.
"That's not entirely true. The Supreme Being said that there is no door to blessings and misfortunes, only people bring them to their own devices. In fact, the inner demons are also encouraging you to seek the truth from the side. If your mind is upright and your body is upright, you will naturally not be afraid. If you accumulate too many small evils, you will become the only evil.
People call themselves.”
"So you actually have to accumulate virtue and do good, exercise your body and mind, and reduce your desires in order to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal?"
"Theoretically yes, this is also the mainstream thought of all schools in the past thousand years, followed by auxiliary methods such as alchemy and dual cultivation. Of course, if there are any deviations during this period, if the same result can be obtained in the end, it can be considered the right path."
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Yes, some practitioners use Taoism to do bad things for personal gain, harm people's lives, harm the world, and sooner or later they go down the path of evil cultivation. Some people follow their inner demons, practice demonic skills, and are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they embark on the path of evil cultivation.
There are also people who can show their magical powers everywhere, cheat money and sex, have unmatched virtues, and end up accumulating bad deeds. These are all lessons. As I said just now, practitioners will gradually become independent of time and
Due to the constraints of space, especially in this long life, one wrong step may lead to catastrophe. Therefore, cultivating the Tao is not easy."
What the Taoist Master said was mainly to remind me not to take the wrong path when practicing. But sometimes I don’t know if I’m taking the wrong path, so I continue to ask about the Yin-Yang lines seen in my third eye. What Kui means is that no one
Taoist Master Jue Xing had never heard of it before, but he felt that it was not a big deal. It was just a normal discovery of supernatural powers in the process of seeking the Tao. It is normal for everyone to be different. As long as it is conducive to seeking the Tao, there is no need to worry too much.
It was approaching midnight, and I originally wanted to discuss my future cultivation methods, but ended up being led to the understanding of the soul and the Dao. Although I benefited a lot, it didn't seem to solve the actual problem. Now I understand, in fact
When it comes to spiritual practice, everyone cannot follow the same path. Even if you have a master, you cannot follow the master's path. This also temporarily prevents me from asking for advice on how to become a master.
It still takes 2 hours to get to Zhengzhou. The Taoist priest is closing his eyes to rest, and most of the people in the car are confused or asleep. I am looking for the soul in my body to start a conversation, or try to have a conversation, because he does not
He ignored me. From the beginning to the end, I was the only one thinking and calling him. It made me wonder if I was going to have a schizophrenia. After calling for a long time to no avail, I gave up and began to calm down.
Look within yourself.
I still see the yin and yang lines of my body, the various meridians in my body, and the faint little person in the lotus in my chest. There is nothing new. Is this little person the Yuanshen? Next time the Yuanshen talks, I want to see him
Did it move?
I also want to try to observe my own acupuncture points, but the acupuncture points seem not as clear and obvious as the meridians. After studying hard for a long time, I can only see a few nodules. Forget it, I should be content if I can see the meridians. What is the point of practicing?
So fast. Suddenly I thought, what if I could use my heavenly ears to listen to my own voice?
