I am a person who cultivates spiritual power.

This is self-definition, a self-definition that is firmly grasped by oneself. I don't care about family, responsibilities, or anything like that, but I have to care about "I'm a practitioner." ”

Shit!

So what is the difference between caring about family and responsibility?

There is no difference at all, they all care, they all firmly grasp a self-definition.

Why is it said that cultivators should be superior to others?

How can it be said that the bond of a cultivator to kill the red dust is courage?

So, wouldn't it be more awesome for non-cultivators to cut off their attachment to cultivation?

The essence is the same, and there is no qualification to claim some kind of self-definition standing above. Only an empire would propagandize like this, because empires need to develop and build, and certain self-definitions must be made high.

In the eyes of the Empire, sacrificing everything for the sake of the Empire is the highest self-definition.

In the eyes of a mother, perhaps living a happy and happy life is the highest self-definition.

There is no self-definition that deserves to be firmly grasped, and the very act of grasping it is an indication of the falsity of self-definition.

Yuan Changwen frowned, his temples beating slightly.

Assuming the existence of the "Dao" and following the flow of the "Dao" by oneself, it is possible to solve the problem of indifferent actions after that.

My choice is not the result of my own thinking, but the result of flowing along the "Tao".

In this way, I will not grasp any self-definition, and I will not be able to grasp it, and who knows how the "Tao" will flow. It is entirely possible to violate the so-called self-definition, and then the so-called grasp is meaningless.

The paradox is that believing in the existence of the Tao is merely an assumption.

Combined, these two questions are simply too powerful.

"Everything you know is wrong!"

"What would you have done without this?"

Yuan Changwen once again felt the distance between himself and the teacher. What exactly is going on, and how can it be that one generation is not as good as the next?

Fear.

No matter what happens, when you move towards a certain goal, you will subconsciously fear failure. And instead of being afraid of certain processes, you jump straight to the scene after the failure.

The most important thing is that I am always imagining failure, and I am always afraid.

If it's all imagination, why can't you imagine success?

It's because it's beyond one's control, so it's always imagining, hesitating, anxious and worried.

It's really funny, such a simple question, since it is beyond one's control, then it is clear that one's control, why are you anxious?

All the results are beyond your control, so it's good to watch the show from the sidelines!

And that fear, which is a call for self-definition, wants to get one's attention, wants to explain that it is not insignificant. When you pay attention to it, no matter how you pay attention to it, then it is already stated that it exists.

Is this how self-definition works from false to real?

"Fear is your guide, think about what would you do without this?"

Yuan Changwen suddenly felt that the teacher really saw through himself, and this sentence was used repeatedly, which could still provide a route forward, and it was still a farther navigator.

At the end of the day, it's still the root of self-definition. I hold on to a certain self-definition and fear losing it because it defines me. And the teacher just wanted me to imagine what it would be like to lose that self-definition.

The teacher had long known the falsity of self-definition, and he knew that I had been stuck here.

My former self also experienced a complete sense of relaxation through the teacher's epiphany. The whole life floated up, everything looked good, and the corners of the mouth involuntarily turned up.

But now, with a clear layer of stuff on the back, could it be that those false self-definitions have developed into the weight of the entity?!

That sense of ease I will not forget, this is the moment of not easy always tell myself, further!

It's not "not afraid", but beyond "afraid or not", just like the story about dinosaurs, it is already difficult to answer the question "Are you afraid of dinosaurs".

I say "not afraid" because I still have hope and am still strong. I believe that no matter how great the difficulty is, there will be a day in the past.

After all, it's still a self-definition.

I no longer think that the current situation in front of me is a difficulty, just like a theatergoer, indifferently appreciating the development of the plot.

Enjoy a character named Yuan Changwen, a performance as the Empire's first spiritual master.

He is a thoughtless puppet who flows with the Tao and quietly appreciates the development of events.

All that I feared was not real. It is the importance I have given them, which is the source of fear. Without this importance, without a firm grasp of certain self-definitions, there would be no fear.

Yuan Changwen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, because most of those fearful things were his beloved things. Thinking that his family was erased by hostile forces, he couldn't be calm.

And the deduction just now shows that these self-definitions are false, and if you want to take your cultivation to the next level, you must step through this barrier.

Even if it is a practice, it will be killed.

Why do you think that you are a cultivator, and why do you think that you are going further in a down-to-earth manner?

It's entirely possible to stand still on your own, or even dig a hole to stagnate.

"Everything you know is wrong!"

So, is the teacher wrong?

Also, are those ancient teachers and Venerable Beings wrong?

After all, all I could see was these ancient books. How do I know that there really were these people thousands of years ago?

How can I be sure that these ancient books in front of me are real ancient books, that is, they really circulated thousands of years ago?

In case it is a higher civilization, a boring game made up, it seems that the history of the empire is detailed, and even the historical record of the era of the home planet still exists. But how do I know, if these are made up?

There is no history at all, but there are some historical stories that we see now, some ancient books that we see now, some cultural relics that we see now, and some people who are now telling about their ancestors who have passed away.

How do I know that these things really existed thousands of years ago?

Everything seems reasonable, but it is not without other explanations.

Most importantly, is it possible that the whole practice is also false?

Yuan Changwen was a little unimaginable that he had spent his whole life cultivating spiritual power, and now he had abandoned his family's emotions to pursue a higher realm.

Now tell me, the whole practice is fake?!

I can't bear it.

"What would you have done without this?"

The teacher's words once came to mind, and Yuan Changwen couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this the true meaning of this question?

Looking at the several ancient books I found before, no matter which one it is, they are all depriving themselves of the existence of self-definition, letting themselves go, and preaching that self-definition is false.

It seems that this pain is inevitable.

But also, who can get rid of self-definition without this pain?

Come on, let the flames burn harder!

Let me see what else will happen!

Whatever happens, it's an opportunity to break free from self-definition.

Even now, I can follow fear to see the source—self-definition.
