Chapter 831: The First Step 231
Is there really an "I exist"?
Yuan Changwen was suddenly stuck by this question, which he had never doubted, how much he once believed in the only truth of "I exist". If there is no "I exist", then who is aware of all this?
At the time, I figured it out this way, but now I look at it, this kind of "if not...... Then the sentence structure of ......" is just a very reasonable explanation.
Like, if there isn't a real world, then how can I see the world?
This is simply a very reasonable explanation, and an unfounded assumption of something as the beginning of the whole rhetorical question.
First of all, there is definitely a "truth", there is no doubt about that. "Truth does not exist", and if it is true, as the sentence says, "real" does not exist, then the sentence itself becomes true. So, "real" must exist.
Or, "All the words can be answered in one word, no." ”
So, what about the answer to this sentence itself? If it is also "no", then it means that this sentence is wrong. If the answer is "yes", then it means that "there is a discourse that does not answer with a 'no'", and it also means that there must be a "yes".
In this case, truth is everything, and the question now becomes, what is true?
Yuan Changwen is a little uncertain, he once believed that "that awareness is real" and "I exist" is the only truth. In connection with the previous paragraph, it can be deduced that "that awareness is everything".
But now, Yuan Changwen is not sure if there is a "I exist".
The phrase "I exist" is a bit misleading, as if there is an "I" and then "exists", but in fact, it is certainly a roleless existence. Because there is a role, then it means that there is a role and "non-role" things.
Just like in reality, there is the role of Yuan Changwen, as well as the "non-role" Fenghua Xueyue and the like. This duality is inherently limited, so it cannot be real.
"I exist" is a whole, an indivisible state.
So, is it possible that there is no such thing as "I exist" at all?
There must be a real one, but what is it exactly?
Yuan Changwen felt very dizzy in his head, he once thought that he had no problem, and thought that he had gone through that uncomfortable and relaxed alternation. Although the sense of relief completely dissipated, he did not feel the discomfort when he was killed, as if the wind was calm.
There was no ease and no discomfort.
But now, the foundation of his whole reasoning has become shaky. If that awareness is not everything, or that awareness is not the only reality, then ......
Wrong!
Even if I don't know what's true, I can be very clear about what isn't. For example, the wind and snow, such as time and space, such as heaven and earth, these are all existences with a character, and they are all limited things, and they cannot be real at all.
Similarly, the character of Yuan Changwen, the body, and the mind, are also limited existences. Obviously, reality cannot be limited, and the body is not a tree, and the mind is not a heaven and earth, so these limited things are not real.
What is really true?
These are limitations, the whole world is a limitation, and even the so-called universe is a limited existence. Is the character of Yuan Changwen the universe? Is the universe the character of Yuan Changwen?
If the answer is "no", then it means that there are different roles here, and the existence of roles must be false.
If the answer is "yes", then why do I always think of myself as the character of Yuan Changwen and not as the universe? And no one sees themselves as the universe, as a tree or something.
Moreover, even if you say something like "the essence of all things is one," it also shows that the state in which things appear is not real.
For example, the essence of all things is one, so the character of Yuan Changwen is the same essence as a piece of. This shows that the state of Yuan Changwen's character, and the state of a piece of, are not real. Because its essence is one, then the distinction between man and at this moment shows that there is no such thing as man and at all.
Assuming that the essence of all things is X, then the things that appear, such as the character of Yuan Changwen, such as a piece of, are not the essence of things. Because the essence is X, it is not the role of Yuan Changwen, and it is not a piece of. Then, only X is real, and everything in heaven and earth is not the essence, it is all false existence.
And the real does not exist, so everything in heaven and earth does not exist.
There is not a single trace of truth in this false world.
Yuan Changwen felt that sentence again, "Truth and falsehood are incompatible, not the opposition between Tai Chi black and white, but completely absent." ”
In this world called reality, everything is limited, and there is no trace of truth at all. Even if this world is created and is a movie, then the existence of the creator is also false if it is still in a world of binary opposites.
Without the presence of characters, that's the truth.
What the eyes see, it must be false.
Yuan Changwen suddenly remembered his previous feelings, and always thought that "what you see with your eyes must be false" refers to it, because seeing other things indicates that there is a character, and it also shows that something is not himself, so he returns to the conclusion that "the existence of a character must be false".
But now, this sentence does not need any deep meaning at all, and it is not a metaphor. Perfection is the reality of perfection, and whatever I see is only a limited existence, and the limitation must be false.
Nothing is true, and nothing is true in this world. And the only truth will not be revealed in this world.
Cultivating to the real is not a character who keeps cultivating, and then there is a reality that can be obtained. As if you were working on your own, you can climb to the top of the mountain and pick a gem called "real".
No, the world will never be able to get the truth, and it will never be able to see the truth. Only then did Yuan Changwen realize what it meant to be "a character can never touch the truth", and a strong sense of absurdity and powerlessness enveloped him.
Since nothing is true, or rather, in this so-called reality, nothing is true. So, why do I have to fight for things like that? Why do I have to listen to other people's words?
Even, I don't even know if other people are real people, why should I think they are real?
There's only one reason, and that's because I think I'm real. If I think I'm not human, and I think the character of Yuan Changwen is fake, then naturally I won't think that others are real.
Fear "no role", fear "no role of Yuan Changwen", fear "no self".
Going back to the original question, can I really be sure that there is a "I exist"?
