Chapter 506: Cultivating to Truth 136
Mom, or mother, the word encompasses so much.
Even when he was in a psychiatric hospital while traveling, he didn't completely kill him.
What's more, Yuan Changwen doesn't want to kill any self-definition at all now. Because these self-definitions are Yuan Changwen himself, once killed, the role of Yuan Changwen will begin to collapse and dissipate.
Who would want to be that stupid background?
Rolling red dust, love and hate, go back in style. I have worked in low-paying jobs, and I have worked hard to get into the upper echelons of society, maintaining a fighting heart when I am poor, and not being arrogant or impatient when I am rich.
This is the life that everyone yearns for.
Yuan Changwen is no exception, but after having God, the so-called cool point becomes meaningless. The cool point is to get it, and then by imagining your own soaring, so as to achieve the effect of the cool point.
But after having God, what is the cool point that cannot be reflected?
Standing on the pinnacle of the earth? Unlimited golden finger, playing the whole earth upside down, does it count?
I have also experienced the magnificence of the universe, and it is not difficult to experience it again.
What else is there to say?
Without the lure of coolness, the existence of the "self" is already in jeopardy. And the other method, driven by fear, seemed irritable to Yuan Changwen.
If you are the one who has God, why are you qualified to fear me?
Not killing you is already a mercy to you, are you too embarrassed to come and fear me? Believe it or not, I will kill you in minutes!
However, if there is no fear, the "self" will gradually fall apart. The devouring of "my being" from the inside out is not subject to human will.
All Yuan Changwen can do is delay.
For example, now, when I see my mother's love for me, I know that I want to give up killing, but as soon as this thought is brewing in my mind, I will think of the conclusion that all this is untrue.
I still remember that at the beginning, God asked Yuan Changwen to "don't think about elephants". This kind of mind control is difficult to do deliberately. Because whether you think about the elephant or not, once you want to make sure that you don't think about the elephant, you have already started to think about the elephant at this time.
"I exist" is the only definite truth.
This sentence has been firmly engraved in my heart, and I can't get rid of it at all. Even if you ignore it, you can't help but think about it.
The same is true of the salesperson just now. According to the previous trajectory, if you don't say that you have a good performance, you will also show off your attainments in technical parameters.
But in fact, it was that person's sense of reality that began to be deprived, and gradually became unreal in Yuan Changwen's eyes.
It's a feeling that has never been felt before, and it's ridiculous to believe. However, that feeling just appeared, and it began to stripped away from the sense of reality.
Mom's current situation is the same. Covering up one's own gratitude, instead thinking that none of this is true.
Kill Mom?
Are you kidding!
I don't want it!
Yuan Changwen frowned as he walked, wanting to resist the urge to kill in his heart.
I'm a character myself, and no amount of explanation can change that. Whether it is filial to the mother or not, it is just the attribute of this character.
It is true that my mother has paid a lot to me, but if this is only used as the premise of filial piety, then the whole mother's love and filial piety has become a transaction. It's just that this kind of transaction is recognized by society, and it has a nice name - filial piety.
By using this label, you obscure the truth and allow yourself to focus on the label and deny that it is all a transaction.
My mother was exhausted with me, meticulous and almost responsive. Then as a son, it is to be filial. She grew up with me, and I grew old with her. That's a nice thing to say, but in essence, it's an endorsement that it's a deal.
Suppose my mother is a devil, whipping me every day and abusing me, and never giving me any maternal love. So, when you grow up, can you not be filial?
If yes, then make sure it's a deal. If not, then it means that filial piety is an imposed moral bondage, and no matter how bad the mother is, he must be filial as a son.
How can this be a bit of an ancient foolish feeling?
Depend on!
Yuan Changwen found that he unconsciously began to think again, and he thought deeply. inherited his slash during the trip and continued to put his mother in a dispensable position.
The question is not "whether you want to be filial to your mother", but to get rid of the influence in your mind, which is the so-called attachment. When oneself is no longer the cause of filial piety for any reason, this is freedom.
Submit to!
Ha, that's the word again.
When you surrender and surrender the rudder, then all actions are not under your control. Rather, the Tao is in control, and he is only responsible for obedience and not hindrance.
If the "Tao" requires oneself to be filial, then oneself will be obedient and act in filial piety. What if the Tao demands that you be unfilial?
Yuan Changwen's whole body suddenly tightened, as if the pores of his whole body instantly bloomed, as if he had met a ghost.
What if Dao needs to be a bad guy himself? What if Dao happens to need to kill people by himself? What if Dao takes control of the ship of life and lets himself set fire to his mother?
No!
Fear hit like a tidal wave, slapping Yuan Changwen into the turbulent sea.
Yuan Changwen struggled, but the waves rolled, and the constant stirring made him unable to break free at all.
It seems that for the first time, the meaning of the word "surrender" is really seen.
Look at so many books on the market that explain Buddhism, life, and the like, just to enrich the attributes of the characters. Do those who talk about living in the moment and everything being the most perfect arrangement, do they really know the deeper meaning?
It sounds great, no matter what's going on at the moment, don't resist it. Because it is we who define good and bad, and things are just things in themselves. Make yourself supple, say "yes" to the moment, and trust that everything is the most perfect arrangement.
Yes, this makes people expand themselves in an instant, as if there are no enemies outside, everything is self-inflicted. Live in the moment, act but don't care about the results.
Bah!
Everything is the perfect arrangement, and this is just self-soothing when the tide is low.
What if all suffering has no end? What if we are in the midst of suffering all our lives? What if the most perfect arrangement, our place in the world in this life, is to beg?
Living in the present, when your job is fired, your wife is separated, and then even the waiter in a hot pot restaurant can't apply, can you still say "okay" to the moment?
If you can say "good", then why change it, and if you want to change the status quo, how much of the so-called "good" is sincere?
It's all just roles, and you either surrender or you don't. If there is no surrender, why do you say these high-sounding words, and why do you pursue what to live in the moment?
simply loudly declare that Lao Tzu is to control everything, and all realities that do not conform to my mind must be destroyed.
When does spiritual pursuit become a kind of display? Or is it always a kind of display? If it is not for showmanship, then it must face this eternal problem: who am I?
The final answer must be just a character.
