Chapter 96: The Beginning
Bring me my heart, and I will give it to you. γIdeaγ
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.
In order for the restless mind to be able to settle down, three conditions are required: one is awareness, the second is force, and the third is the state.
Consciousness is to know why the mind is disturbed, and if you don't even know the reason, then it will be very difficult to move on to the next step.
After knowing the reason, if you want to get rid of this negative state, you still need enough strength or ability, otherwise, even if you know why, you will still have no choice.
In addition, the cooperation of the environment is also required.
If the external environment is too unbearable, even if the ability is so strong that it is almost against the sky, it is still helpless, so at this time, it is necessary to "carry the road".
Xu Guangling told Xu Tonghui this story, just casually, it was an eye-opener, and he didn't expect him to "realize on the spot" after listening to this story.
For a cultivator to come and feel at ease, there is a shortcut that is not a shortcut.
That's to start with yourself.
The body and mind are intertwined, this is a foundation.
And there is another foundation, that is, the mind is built on the platform of the body.
If the body is strong enough, strong enough, agile and vibrant enough......
Well, the mind, if you want to enter a negative state, is very difficult.
"Retreat, cut off the outer edge. After telling the story, Xu Guangling said to Xu Tonghui.
Grasp is undecided, it is advisable to eliminate the hustle and bustle, so that this heart is not desired, but not chaotic, with Chengwu Jing body is strong, but also when mixed with the dust, so that this heart can see what you want and not chaotic, in order to raise my circular machine.
Caigen Tan Zhong said.
In the previous life, in view of the fact that the breakthrough of the "body" was not very easy, Confucianism and Buddhism did not mention it, and even the Taoists, who mainly focused on self-cultivation, also infiltrated a lot of content of mind cultivation.
All kinds of fasting and rituals are actually with the help of certain means to calm the mind and clear the mind.
Of course, it is precisely because the vast majority of people are lackluster in their physical breakthroughs that a lot of content of mind cultivation cannot be deepened, and can only be at the level of lv and lv1.
Therefore, it is either general, or narrow-minded, not talking about morality, or talking about demons and so on, so as to truly move towards "idealism".
As a result, although I started from the practice at first, I walked and walked, and it had nothing to do with the practice.
Far away from the roots, away from the simplicity, towards the absurd, towards the bizarre, towards the gods and goddesses, Han Wubu and the like, towards the so-called crooked ways of Buddhism.
In the Taoist collection, the content of this part should account for three or four tenths.
If a big tree has cut off its main trunk, as long as the roots are not dead, it will still sprout, send out many, many buds, and grow a large cluster of trees that cannot be matured.
This is the basic overview of the previous life, the field of practice, in the cultivation of the mind.
Confucianism is no exception, Buddhism is no exception, and Taoism is no exception.
There is no exception at home, and there is no exception abroad.
However, although there is nothing to talk about in height, in terms of breadth, there are all kinds of "hearts" that stretch out in different directions.
Even many secular people or philosophers who have nothing to do with spiritual practice have thought about and elaborated on such issues.
This sentence in Caigen Tan is a simple example.
Although this life is a world where cultivation is prevalent, the content of mind cultivation is not seen at the human level.
Isn't that weird?
No!
It is precisely because of the prevalence of spiritual practice in the world that this situation has been caused.
Once the body can enter, the mind is useless.
"Cultivating the mind", at least at the human level, is a kind of "heresy".
In this world, what is the mainstream of cultivation?
It is to condense qi, clear the pulse, and open the body.
Condense qi and cultivate qi and blood.
Through the veins, after the body's qi and blood grow, it is born, "the light one rises to the sky", giving birth to pure qi, and then using this qi to open up the veins of the body.
Open the knot, the knot is the knot of the pulse, and continue to develop on the basis of the pulse.
And these three levels have nothing to do with the "heart".
Then, the cultivators of these three levels have already occupied the entire cultivation world.
Ground level cultivators, what is the state of cognition of the "mind"?
Xu Guangling is not clear for the time being, although he threw out that sentence, although it was mainly an idle pastime, but there was no temptation in it.
The situation of the human level, he has almost understood it through the dealer and through Qingshui City.
So far, his tentacles have not been able to reach the ground level.
However, the situation has opened up.
The communication channel with the upper echelons of this county town, that is, the county guard mansion and the seven major sects, has been opened, and it is enough to go down slowly in the future.
It's a bit fast.
Xu Guangling planned to use three or five years to gradually open this passage.
Anyway, there's no hurry.
Not three or five years, even thirty or fifty years, is also within the acceptable range.
There are many means, words, herbs, and the progress of Xu Tonghui's cultivation and communication with other practitioners...... Any of these, any of them, can pave that passage.
How.
Something went wrong.
Xu Tonghui, the fool, and Xu Yishan, the fool, together with the two fools, made this situation appear directly and prematurely.
There are good and bad things about this.
Naturally, the goal of making a medium- to long-term plan was achieved at once.
The bad thing is that the goal comes too quickly and the preparation is not ready.
Whether he is or Xu Tonghui, the level is still too low, and he does not have the qualifications to communicate with the people in the ground level on an equal footing, but can only seek disguised equality through other forms, but in any case, communication must be restricted.
It can't be helped.
The level of cultivation is there.
For example, you and your dog, you can have a heart-to-heart relationship with it, you can have a deep relationship with it, and even share life and death, but you can't properly communicate with it to discuss Xi issues, work and family issues, and world peace issues.
It's not your feelings that limit this exchange, it's the level.
Levels of intelligence and insight.
At the moment, although it is a bit of an accident, it is actually harmless, just take one step at a time.
Before, through the words of Juxinglou, Xu Guangling judged that this world or the cultivation environment of this place was at the end of the Silver Age.
This judgment has also been temporarily corroborated in the matter of mind cultivation.
Human level, not involved in cultivating the mind.
The ground level, I don't know if it is involved, but the heavenly level, it must be involved.
This will not be a secret in the upper echelons of this world's cultivation world, let alone a secret, but definitely common sense!
There is no doubt about that.
However, this common sense has not spread to the lower and lower levels of the spiritual world.
Is this a monopoly on cultivation resources?
Think so.
Or, there may be some considerations at the top.
But overall, it's relatively positive.
If the upper echelons of the spiritual world spread this knowledge to the lower levels, but then controlled it at the really critical level of self-cultivation, then that would be a bad thing.
Popularize the knowledge of mind cultivation, and then gradually transform the lower-level cultivators into "cultivators of spiritual knowledge" through the means of the upper level, through the equation of assessment and selection, so that thousands of actual cultivators can turn from real to virtual.
Transform the entire lower-level cultivator into a resource.
A resource for the study of mind cultivation and spiritual knowledge, for the sake of the upper levels.
At that time, if such a situation occurs, it will not even be counted as the Black Iron Age.
And it can only be regarded as the Dark Ages.
Now, it's okay.
And the light.
And the light is not very faint.
This also means that at present, the cultivation resources of the upper level of this world are not very scarce, and there is no need to ask for them from the lower level in the form of excessive overdraft, and completely lock the upward promotion channel of the lower level.
This may not be the case, but there is a high probability that it will not be wrong.
That's good.
Even if it's rough, there's a way to go.
