Chapter Seventy-Eight: Meditation and Enlightenment
"Yes, but I don't understand what you mean by this?" Yin Yuting looked at Wu Lang.
"Xiao Langlang, you can be clear, don't play dumb riddles. Yin Fat Man smoked a cigarette and said loudly.
"You see, think of the brain as a Taiji diagram, the cathode part represents the subconscious mind, and the yang part represents the explicit mind, one secluded and the other bright. Before we have no language, when we can't speak, we are subconscious. It is only through the subconscious mind that thinking and communicating. But since the ability to speak, the conscious mind has developed rapidly, and the subconscious has been suppressed. Therefore, modern people's thinking has formed two kinds of thinking: subconscious and explicit, the lower is the deep subconscious, and the upper is the superficial conscious. Wu Lang said contemplatively.
The subconscious mind is a deep consciousness, it is the wisdom accumulated by thousands of generations of people in the long period of human evolution, this is an undercurrent, and the surface consciousness above is the wisdom of the surface. We can't help but ask, can these two consciousnesses communicate, and if we use them, can we mobilize the subconscious? The answer is yes, we can mobilize our subconscious, and we can also facilitate communication between the conscious and the subconscious. ”
Yin Fatzi and Yin Yuting nodded, looking at Wu Lang in agreement.
Wu Lang raised his head and took most of the bottles of Scottish "Waterga", raised his head and drank them all, and continued: "In the Taiji diagram, there is a yin and a yang, where is the communication between yin and yang? The anode avoids yin, and the cathode avoids yang, and the junction of yin and yang is the place where yin and yang are converted. "Anode avoids yin" means that when our thinking is in a white-hot state, when the conscious mind develops to the extreme, we can communicate with the subconscious and produce more wisdom. We all know the "poet immortal" Li Bai, he has a story called "Li Bai fights wine out of poetry", we see that when Li Bai writes poems, he wants to drink a bucket of wine, and the poems he writes are good poems. This means that in the anode state, he can mobilize the subconscious. This also shows that people's thinking is in a white-hot state of high concentration, and it is easy to form this anode to avoid yin and mobilize the subconscious hidden in the depths. Once the deep subconscious is mobilized, our thinking will be very fast, and wisdom will continue to come out. My own experience is that in the dead of night, when you are alone, when there are no distractions, you can concentrate your attention, and you can say that wisdom gushes out like a fountain. After Wu Lang finished speaking, he reached out and picked up a bottle of wine from the coffee table.
"You go on and drink later. Yin Yuting snatched the wine from his hand.
Wu Lang grinned at her, and then said: "The high white-hot consciousness of the conscious mind can mobilize the subconscious, and sometimes the subconscious mind will also manifest itself through intuitive experiences such as dreams. The conscious mind is extroverted and is most pronounced during the day, while the subconscious mind is introverted and tends to come out at night. The left hemisphere of the human brain is in charge of language and abstract thinking, the right hemisphere is in charge of musical and artistic images, the conscious mind is in the left hemisphere, and the subconscious mind is in the right hemisphere, and the two can communicate. The left hemisphere of the brain has a dual function, the left brain is strong in abstract thinking and calculation, and the right brain is biased towards image perception and art, but the right brain also has the thinking function of the left brain, which is why in the "subconscious" state, such as in dreams and other activities, thinking can be generated, this is because the right brain is working. ”
"The great scientist Albert Einstein, who loved both science and the violin, often practiced the violin for a while after a lot of intense mental work, and then the wisdom of work came out. This is actually the result of alternating between the left and right brains. The right brain is associated with figurative thinking, art, and music, while the left brain is associated with abstract thinking. Often, after a period of intense abstract thinking in the left brain, if you can use the right brain and the left brain alternately, you can get inspiration, such as listening to music and playing the piano. That is to say, after a period of intense work, relaxing with music, art, and other figurative thinking will enable the subconscious to communicate. After Wu Lang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Yin Yuting with a smile.
Yin Yuting glanced at Wu Lang, then unscrewed the lid of the wine bottle and handed him the thin "Waterga" wine.
"We can do this by meditating, and then we can bring qi into the brain through the mind from the Baihui acupoint, which is about three inches below the Baihui acupoint, which is the central part of the whole brain. If you keep your mind in this area, take a deep breath or imagine something beautiful, and when you open your eyes again, you will feel that your brain is fully rested, and you will feel a fresh breath arise. This is where brain sedation comes in. ”
"There are two types of brain meditation exercises: solitary meditation and meditation exercises. Solitary meditation is to walk alone, with a slow and rhythmic pace combined with deep and slow breathing exercises, walking alone in a quiet place, and then gradually thinking of a beautiful and benign wish and eliminating distracting thoughts. The so-called one thought instead of ten thousand thoughts, and finally from indulging in good wishes and gradually calming down, in a thoughtless and desireless stroll, so that the brain appears to be quiet and desireless. At this time, it is a state of "blinding, hearing but not hearing", so that the brain has a positive opportunity to fully recuperate, which is conducive to the intellectual development after rest, and this method works best in the evening or under the moon. Mental workers are especially suitable, as they return to the house to refresh their brains and work more effectively. ”
Another method is meditation, that is, sitting alone with the door closed, leaning back with the head leaning back, eyes half-closed, taking a natural and comfortable position, and then starting to slowly and deeply breathe in or combined with silent meditation, and gradually induce meditation, at this time meditation is by no means equal to cerebral cortex inhibition, after meditation must be actively observed and observed, that is, "return to the light and shine inside". The method is to look inwardly at the mud pill acupoint, which is the pineal gland, which is three inches down (equivalent to the pituitary gland, which is the center of life). After 20 minutes, when you slowly open your eyes, you will feel a feeling of freshness in your brain. This is consistent with the Buddhist principle of "sitting meditation" and "will surely produce wisdom", and you can experience it later. After Wu Lang finished speaking, he drank the thin branch "Wotga" in his hand, and then went upstairs.
After washing up, Wu Lang sat cross-legged on the carpet at the head of the bed, quietly feeling his inner self-realization: the image of the water is bright, and the heart is the wisdom of the life. What is the origin of life and all things? It is the nature of the universe that is formless, shapeless, silent, inactive, and immovable. The feminine substance of life is the spiritual light (photon flow) emitted from the heart of the Celestial Being. The masculine substance of life is the explosion of a light mass called the "cosmic egg", which is transformed into energy, and the cathode generates yang, which is transformed into a masculine substance visible to the naked eye. The galaxy we live in may have been formed by the explosion of the cosmic egg of the legendary "Pangu the Great". Both yin and yang matter originate from the Tao. Life is a combination of two substances: yin (spirit) and yang (body). The difference is that, relatively speaking, the presentation of low-level life is dominated by yang, and the presentation of higher life is dominated by yin. The so-called "high" or "low" is only the difference in speed, and there is no difference between high and low.
Since all life comes from the nature of the universe, it shows that every sentient being has understanding. Sentient beings come to this world, but in this world, the temptation of matter to spirit is too great, and sentient beings mistakenly think that everything in this world is real. Pursuing outward all day long, over time, I also forgot my own understanding, and after being confused and upside down for a long time, I lost contact with my inner true self. Because of playing life on the stage of Hongchen for a long time, he also forgot that he was originally in order to exert the power of enlightenment and bless the mission of this world, and even denied the existence of enlightenment. This is the effect and transformation of matter on the mind. This is neither idealism nor materialism, but the transformation of things on the mind in the dialectical relationship between mind and matter, and it can be seen that the effect of matter on the mind and the power of transformation are not trivial.
Everything has the true nature of the universe. In order to find this true self nature, sentient beings will never be satisfied until they cannot find their own nature, which is why our lives will never be satisfied. However, the sentient being does not know that the true self that he is looking for is in himself, that everything is there, that it is already there. But he has been looking in the direction of the outside world, pursuing the things of the material world outside to fill the insatiable emptiness inside. But they don't know that the material world outside is only a wonderful function realized in nature, and it is the end rather than the beginning.
