Chapter 30: The Seed and the Tree

"There is nowhere to determine the edge", "there is nowhere to decide".

"There is no place to live, but the heart is born".

This is a saying that originated from Buddhism on the earth, and Xu Guangling's current state of mind and consciousness is roughly like this.

After achieving the essence of heaven and earth, breaking the last boundary between heaven and man, and completing the unity of heaven and man in the true sense, the next step is to combine the three fundamental knots of fate, cognition, and heaven and earth into one.

In the first life, Xu Guangling took twenty-four years, and in the second life, Xu Guangling took three years.

And when he came to this third life, Xu Guangling spent three days.

After completing this step, all the information of Xu Guangling's physical and mental system is entrusted, or mapped, to the fundamental knowledge.

And this fundamental know-how, which is neither inside nor outside the body, can be both inside and outside the body, is "where the mind is, that is, where the knack is." ”

In a sense, it is equivalent to a copy of one's own physical and mental information, existing between this heaven and earth.

This step, compared to achieving the Destiny Trick and becoming a Grand Master, is also a crucial and fundamental step.

Why did Xu Guangling think that he was just a "saint" before, and he could resist a little in front of "God"?

Just because of this step.

Because after this step is completed, it cannot be destroyed from a purely material level.

All the fundamental know-how of the body and mind has become the main body of life, and this root knot-in-form has no form. Then, the real body has become a copy, and even if this copy is destroyed, it doesn't matter, because as long as necessary, a new body can be born in a single thought.

So now, Xu Guangling, or Ye Xiaoye, this body is really the same as those other children on the island.

Doing so is not purely Xu Guangling's game in the world, but has something to do with his state of mind and consciousness.

After the unity of heaven and man, in a sense, his mind has become a mirror, reflecting everything in the sense, and consciousness is also given shape to things.

That night, when he moved into a new dormitory, when he found that the dormitory was an old room that had not been lived in for a long time, but there was no dust and odor, Xu Guangling's mental consciousness, at that moment, was like a drop of water, dripping into the boundless sea of heaven and earth.

Water droplets spread out in the sea.

What this "water droplet" contains is all the content of "cleanliness" in Xu Guangling's consciousness.

Including the most impressive cleaning of the room at the beginning of the first life, including the cleaning of the school and home in the earlier days;

This includes awareness of the various types of bacteria that grow inside and outside the room;

Including all the exercises, gist, and various realizations of cultivation after the practice has crossed the stage of "Ying" and when it comes to the level of "Qing";

There are many, many others related to this.

If necessary, this "droplet" can swing between heaven and earth to a very deep extent, and then, echoing from heaven and earth, are all kinds of enlightenment and mystical thoughts about "cleanliness", which most likely contain many ideas or directions that Xu Guangling had not thought of before.

If we paraphrase Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", it is "in a trance, there is an image in it, and in a trance, there are things in it." ”

And this is Xu Guangling's current thinking, and it is also Xu Guangling's current practice.

When the practice enters this stage, it is as if we have entered the age of the Big Bang of knowledge from the classical age of knowledge, and it is an indescribable super bang.

Knowledge is no longer precious and rare.

What is precious is the erection of the system.

What is rare is the grasp of direction.

So in the last life, Xu Guangling said to Gan Congshi, I have the "Ten Thousand Laws Sutra".

Is there really one?

Really.

Not when I said it.

But if you want me to take it out, and I really want to take it out, then the next moment, there it is.

This is the "unity of man and nature".

This is the "boundless knowledge".

This is "the door of mystery, mystery".

All the things that have been absorbed and learned as mortals and transcendents have become insignificant, so small that they have become mere seeds, countless contents, countless seeds.

If you take a seed and "plant" it in this heaven and earth, you can see the birth of a sapling, and on this sapling, every leaf and flower is related to the content of metaphysics and enlightenment.

But how far the sapling grows depends on the level of mental commitment and the time of enlightenment.

To put it simply, it's not infinite.

It is still subject to the constraints of the realm and level, and it is also related to the "seed".

Some seeds are poor in themselves, so even if you put a lot of effort and time into it, you may not get a lot in the end.

Therefore, it is still necessary to learn and absorb in order to constantly renew the "seed".

It's just that after entering this level, the object of learning and absorption, the most important object, is no longer books and others, and likewise is no longer heaven and earth, but "heaven and earth" itself, or, to put it more mysteriously, it is to seek "Tao".

Cultivation, cultivating in the realm of the unity of heaven and man, is to seek knowledge, that is, to ask questions.

In this case, all kinds of daily behaviors are the "introduction", which triggers Xu Guangling to enter the corresponding practice.

For example, when he moved into a new dormitory, that night, the "cleansing" little magic power went one step further.

For example, after starting a run:

"How can an ordinary person's body use ordinary means to harmonize the body's qi and blood to the greatest extent under the premise of being ordinary and not extraordinary. ”

"The opening of the sky is originally a slow walking pace, can it be improved and applied to running?"

......

A large number of similar seeds were nurtured in Xu Guangling's fixed realm.

Therefore, whether he overrides this world as a great grandmaster or is reincarnated as a real nine-year-old ordinary child, for Xu Guangling, there is not much difference, it is all cultivation.

In his previous life, Xu Guangling chose the former more.

And in this life, Xu Guangling decided to let this body that walked in the world grow and develop little by little in the most authentic way.

In a sense, this is actually a lesson learned from a previous life.

One step to the sky means that it is not easy to show up. Whenever you show up, you need to face all the masters in this world.

Then, whether it was confrontation or compromise, it was not in line with Xu Guangling's wishes.

And growing step by step, step by step, in this process, showing his existence to the world little by little, is the general purpose of Xu Guangling for himself at present, in this life.

This is both a correction of some of the shortcomings of the previous life.

It is also the strategy of Taoguang in this life.

This world is not simple.

Whether it is the strange and unpredictable jelly layer when he first entered this world, or the place where he was born in this life, or the equally strange and unpredictable place of absolute spirits, all of this shows Xu Guangling that this world is not simple.

So, "calm down".

This is the best way to deal with it.

Let him, the seed, absorb all the nutrients that can be absorbed in this world, and grow slowly.

He's not in a hurry.

Of course, it's useless to rush.
