"The first step in cultivation is to refine and refine qi!"

"The first step in refining and refining qi is to concentrate and gather qi!"

"The first step to concentrating is to collect your thoughts!"

"Therefore, all cultivation must start with the collection of thoughts!"

Ye Xuan stood up and asked Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long, "You should know what it means, right?"

"Gathering thoughts?" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhao unintentionally lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Boss, what you said about collecting thoughts and collecting spirits should mean cutting off external thoughts and collecting minds, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means!" Ye Xuan nodded and said, "The so-called collection of thoughts refers to cutting off external thoughts and collecting minds!"

Ye Xuan approached the two of them and said with a serious face: "You should all know that the reason why the monk cultivates is nothing more than to be able to ascend to immortal one day and step on the clouds to ascend to the sky!

"It can be said that becoming an immortal is the only purpose of a monk's cultivation!"

Ye Xuan took two steps back and forth, suddenly turned his head to look at the two who were listening carefully, and asked, "Everyone in the world knows that there are immortals, and they are all in awe of immortals. But do you know what a real immortal is?"

"In other words, what kind of creature is the so-called immortal? Is it black or white, good or evil, do you all know this?"

Ye Xuan leaned forward slightly, looked directly at the two of them and said, "You practice all day and are dedicated to being immortals, but do you really understand immortals?"

"This..." was broken by Ye Xuan's bright gaze, Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long subconsciously took a step back, and said uncertainly: "Immortal... Aren't immortals immortals?"

"Immortals are immortal people?" Hearing the two of them's answers, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "What do you think?"

Saying that, without waiting for the two of them to answer, Ye Xuan continued: "If the two of you think so, then you don't want to have any great achievements in cultivation in this life!"

As he spoke, Ye Xuan shook his head to himself.

"Boss, no, it's not that serious!" Seeing Ye Xuan's serious look, Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long couldn't help but retort in a low voice: "Although the two of us are not as powerful as you, we won't achieve nothing, right?"

"What, you two think it's impossible?" Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two, Ye Xuan sneered and said, "You don't even know the foundation and foundation of cultivation, don't you think that you can ascend to the Dao in this way?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to open their mouths to refute again, Ye Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Listen honestly!"

"Immortals, immortals, the world knows immortals!So what exactly is an immortal?" Ye Xuan walked to the sofa again and sat down, and said, "The so-called immortal, to be precise, is actually an immortal word. Immortals and humans have nothing to do with each other!"

"It is true that people can become immortals, but it does not mean that immortals can only be cultivated by people! In addition to human beings, among all things in the world, there are countless creatures and things that can become immortals!"

"Birds can become immortals, flowers can become immortals, birds and beasts all have the ability and opportunity to become immortals!

The only difference is that the true Heavenly Dao is a dead thing, and it will only operate in a given way. And the Heavenly Dao represented by the Immortals is indeed a living creature, with its own cultivation and thoughts, and can act with its own subjective will!"

"And the reason why it is said that immortals have nothing to do with people is that the essence of the two lies in this!"

"The purpose of a monk's cultivation is to transform into an immortal! The immortal in it refers to the immortal! And this mortal refers to a person! The so-called mortal is to shed the mundane, that is, to shed everything about a person!"

"So what exactly is a human being?"

Ye Xuan said: "All people in the world, theoretically speaking, can be defined as human beings in modern scientific books, and they can all be called human beings! But this person is only viewed from the perspective of modern biology. If we analyze it from the root of the Great Dao, the definition of human beings is far from being described by the high-IQ creatures who can walk upright in books!"

"The real man is either you, me, or him! The word man is not something that can be described by a single individual creature or a race! It refers to the kind of thoughts that are biologically defined by a person, and a series of thoughts that evolve after birth! This kind of thinking is the real person defined by the Heavenly Dao!"

"A real person only begins to exist from the moment a baby is born! A filthy fetus is not a human being, and a corpse in a coffin is not a human being. Human beings are the general term for all the thoughts formed by human beings in the acquired way. ”

"To shed the mortal is to shed this person, that is, to shed this kind of acquired thinking. ”

"All the behaviors of biological people are controlled by real people! Every word and deed, every smile and smile is not a real person commanding and manipulating!"

"This acquired thought not only derives a person in the true sense, but also self-destructs a person in the real sense!"

"Every human being is born with a very pure self! This self comes from the void and is not touched by any earthly fireworks! If it evolves according to the perfect law, this self should be an immortal life form from birth! Why? Because this self is the so-called immortal!"

"Immortals are born in accordance with the way of heaven, and they themselves follow the rules of the way of heaven! But due to the influence of the acquired environment, on top of this self, a false self is born! Thus, the self is hidden in the depths of people's divine consciousness, and a false self takes over everything!"

"The true self has no heart, no absorption, and no loss. Therefore, he can live forever! But the false self is different, and the false self has a heart, and it will receive all the colors of the mortal world to attract it! Anything that can arouse his interest will bring him loss! Life is perfect, but because of the loss of the false self, there is birth, old age, sickness and death!"

"This false self is a person in the real sense!"

"Transforming into an immortal is a process of shedding the false self and turning into the real self!"

Speaking of this, Ye Xuan paused and said, "As I said just now, the cultivation of monks must start with the collection of thoughts, and this collection of thoughts and gods is the first step to shed the false self!"

"The reason why the false self can affect the true self and the reason why it is constantly depleted is because it is susceptible to the influence of the mundane outside world! Every thought and action will cause a depletion of the body's origin! Naturally, the only way to stop this depletion is to curb the continued divergence of the thoughts and thoughts of the false self!"

"Only by stopping the divergence of acquired thoughts can we stop the continuous wear and tear of the body! Only then can we condense our minds and refine our essence in order to be able to restore our true self!"

"The origin of these three steps, such as gathering thoughts, concentrating and gathering energy, refining and refining qi, is born from this!"

Ye Xuan said: "I don't know how the two of you just started to practice and collect your thoughts, now, let me tell you my method!"

"The so-called collection of thoughts, in a fundamental sense, should actually be called the collection of thoughts!"

After the creation of the false self, the original spirit of a person will continue to spread and lose with the acquired thoughts. Until the primordial spirit is exhausted, that is, when a person's life is ended! Therefore, the root of the idea of collecting the god lies in the word "collecting the god"! The so-called "collecting the mind" is just for the sake of collecting the god!"

"If a monk wants to collect his mind, the ideal state is of course to cut off all acquired thoughts! Because only then can he truly achieve no loss! But in fact, due to the deep-rooted reasons of the false self, the monk cannot completely break his thoughts at the very beginning of his practice. Since you can't do it, you can only replace it with a collection of thoughts!"

"At the very least, the thoughts can reduce the scattering of most of my thoughts the day after tomorrow!"

"So, what exactly is a thought?" Ye Xuan explained: "The so-called thought is actually talking about stopping thoughts with thoughts!"

"Walking down the street alone, maybe he wants to eat, maybe he wants to sleep! But is eating or sleeping the only thing on his mind?"

"Not really!"

"In addition to eating and sleeping, he has countless other thoughts!"

"For example, walking, looking at things, looking up and bowing your head! These behaviors all have thoughts in them! Even the slightest movements such as blinking and breathing carry a thought!"

"Therefore, as long as people are still alive in this world, they will always be accompanied by countless thoughts! In the same way, they will also be accompanied by countless consumption! And the so-called stopping thoughts with thoughts is also the best way to restrain this consumption!"

Ye Xuan said: "When a person walks on the street, he will walk, blink, and look down. However, when a person is extremely focused on something, it can effectively reduce the loss of these unnecessary thoughts in oneself!"

"Gathering thoughts and gathering spirits, that's the principle!"

"When a person relaxes his whole body, closes his eyes, and puts all his thoughts in his body, then his body automatically reduces irrelevant thoughts!"

When on the street, he walks, blinks, and looks down. However, when one is extremely focused on something, it can effectively reduce the loss caused by other unnecessary thoughts in oneself!"

"But is this enough?" Ye Xuan raised his voice and asked, "Just by converging thoughts into one's own body, without seeing with one's eyes, without hearing with one's ears, and without touching one's body, can it really reduce the loss?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "No!"

"Although the eyes are no longer looking, the ears are not stopped, and the body is no longer touching! But the false self has some thoughts after all! Even if the body does nothing, he will take the initiative to think nonsense! And the result of the cranky thinking is that the body continues to wear and tear endlessly!"

"So, just reining in your thoughts and closing your eyes doesn't really do much to keep your mind open!"

Ye Xuan said: "There is only one way that can really effectively curb the generation of acquired thoughts, and that is to find a replacement thought! an idea that is enough to replace all other thoughts!"

"One, the idea that can make people stop all thoughts with one thought!"
