Chapter 767: The First Step 167
Can I be sure that I am not the character of Yuan Changwen?
No, I can't directly prove that the character of Yuan Changwen is false, just as I can't prove that objective things really exist, and likewise I can't prove that objective things are false.
But there's no doubt that truth is everything. If truth is not everything, then the thing that encapsulates the real and the unreal is the real truth. So, truth is everything, there are no opposing elements, and non-reality does not exist.
Since truth is everything, what can I be sure of?
Can I be sure that the character of Yuan Changwen is real? I can't.
Can I be sure that objective things are real? I can't.
The only thing that is certain is that "I exist", the awareness that I am feeling all this. I don't care how the perceived content is presented, even if I'm being deceived by a demon, even if I'm being experimented with by some evil scientist, even if I'm in a game.
In any case, there must be a "me" in order to be aware of all this. There is no need to discuss the authenticity of what is happening, or how the perceived content is manifested. There must be a "I exist" in order to be aware of all this, to be deceived and so on.
In this way, we go back to the previous inference. Truth is everything, and I'm pretty sure of the truth of "I exist", then "I exist" is true. And truth is everything, so "I exist" is everything.
Since "I exist" is everything, or that awareness is everything, everything else that is not "I exist" is unreal. Because "I exist" is real, and there can be no two realities, then the thing that wraps these two realities is the real reality.
So, "I exist" becomes the only reality, everything else is unreal, and what is not real does not exist. It cannot be opposed to the real, it becomes the real and the unreal like the black and white of Tai Chi.
The role of Yuan Changwen is not "I exist", but the content that is perceived by the awareness, so it is naturally unreal, that is, it does not exist, and it can also be called false.
That's right, if it is determined that the character of Yuan Changwen is real, this is a very good explanation, and it is also the one that is most in line with human concepts. But just because this is the simplest explanation doesn't mean it's true. Just because this is the most comfortable explanation, you can't assume that it's true.
But just as the first priority of all schools is to "ensure the survival of the sects", so the same is true of science, which directly assumes that the world is real, and we will not discuss this issue, but continue to discuss other things directly on top of this assumption.
Of course, there will come a time when honest scientists will think about this hypothesis. Perhaps, at that time, a new science will be opened, or it will not be called science, it will be called spirituality, awareness, consciousness, self-existence?
If I were to pick a name, maybe it would be called shitology. Huh, again?
Yuan Changwen wanted to laugh a little, he really got in touch with, but then again, why do you think that is dirty and humble, and even talking about this word is disgusting?
How far is the twist in my mind?
"Heaven and earth have spirits", this statement has never been questioned. What kind of spirit does this spirit refer to? If it means that there is a being called a spirit in the heavens and the earth, it can think just like us human beings, not just a dead thing like mountains and rivers. If so, then all I can say is.
If there really was a spirit that could think like a human being, the whole world would have been overthrown. Mankind is still standing on the top of all things? Mankind still wants to transform nature? Then the spirits of heaven and earth will say, "Why?" So mankind has been extinct.
A massive earthquake, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, volcanic eruptions, tsunami strikes, if there were spirits in heaven and earth, humanity would have died in these disasters long ago. It's like humans get rid of mosquitoes that bite themselves.
If this spirit merely exists, and simply acts with the flow of life, then I think it is. Heaven and earth are not distorted, they are just there, and anyone who clears the distortion in their mind can easily see the beauty of heaven and earth for a long time.
Without the distortion in his head to block it, the essence of Yuan Changwen's character itself is no different from heaven and earth, and it is all woven from the same false materials. But this kind of carefully planned dream, that kind of nature, is constantly revealing the so-called reality.
If there is a spirit in heaven and earth, then this is that spirit, and this is the spirit that flows with life and discards the distortion in the mind. Rather than a higher creature in charge of punishment and reward, these are merely human imaginations, or even humble prayers.
It's because my mind is full of distortions that I can't see the flow of heaven and earth that has been manifesting. I don't need to look for any flow, I don't need to look for any beauty. All I have to do is stop stopping these things from appearing, let heaven and earth do what it has to do, and allow these things to enter my body.
A stone is also a teacher, and a teacher of the highest level, as long as I let this teacher do what it can, and do not resist what the teacher does. Then, you can also feel the flow of life, rather than just facing the walls of your mind.
"People are doing it, the sky is watching", and then what?
The full expression of this sentence should be, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching, so no bad thing can escape the punishment of heaven." It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. ”
But in fact, it should be, "People are doing, the sky is watching, and then it's just watching." ”
I always think that if a person does too many bad things, there will be retribution. But this is just my speculation, why do I think that the so-called retribution is because this person has done something bad, what if this bad thing that happened is caused by the good thing he has done?
I assume that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, but how do I know this? Why do I take this assumption as a true affirmation? This is just wishful thinking on my part, and it is just a humble prayer.
It is entirely possible that the so-called evil retribution is caused by good, right, the story of the farmer and the snake. Whenever a person receives a good retribution, I declare that it is the reward for the good deeds he has done. But how do I know? Maybe it's the reward for doing evil?
"Good is rewarded with evil, and evil is rewarded with good", this is okay.
Since it is possible to claim baselessly that "good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil", then I can also claim without basis that "good will be rewarded with evil, and evil will be rewarded with good".
The only difference is that everyone seems to be advocating kindness, kindness, and so on, so I am very disgusted by my rebellious thoughts. Even, they won't argue with me at all, just scold. Of course, they couldn't argue with me.
No matter how much you argue, it can't change that "good will be rewarded" is just a speculation.
