Chapter 15: The Philosophical Value of the Gods
The lamentation of the limitations of the gods themselves from the mouths of the gods was really new to me as a magician and shrine maiden, "So the meaning of power is similar to the meaning of creating hexagrams?" ā
"The Qiangua hexagram, Yuan Henry Zhen, literally, refers to the development of civilization and social harmony, and the extended meaning is more extensive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoFrom the perspective of me as the god of the battlefield, the natural power of wind, rain, thunder and lightning can certainly create favorable conditions for the army, and from the perspective of me as a god of life, it is also a natural duty to bring beauty, stability, and harmony to mankind. Miss Aqiu is indeed a well-read human being, and sums up my abilities appropriately in every sense of the word. ā
"So, is it really a creation in this sense?"
"What do you think?"
"Although it is unfounded, I don't think it should be so simple to explain ability, there should be other meanings, right?"
"Yes, and it allows you to experience it on the ground."
As Miss Kanako's words fell, I lost my sense of the body, not because I lost my body, but because I couldn't feel it in a physical sense, but I clearly understood that my body was still there.
In short, my ego, rather than "pure consciousness," was freed from the constraints of my body and entered a void of "space."
"Space" has no direction, no power, and no concept of existence for me to explore, so on what level do I affirm my self in this nothingness?
"Miss Alice, do you see?" I couldn't even figure out what form the message I received from Kanako at this time.
"I can't see because there's nothing to see," I passed the information to Kanako in a way that I couldn't parse in a short period of time, and I tried to "turn my head" to find Kanako's body, and although I still didn't find anything or see anything, the wonderful discovery told me that Kanako was beside me, "Isn't this the real world?" ā
"Of course not, this nothingness is the embodiment of both the physical and philosophical sense of the ability to create dryness."
"Is this a void that physics can't define?"
"Probably, the nature of this piece of nothingness and Yakumo Zi's realm ability is completely different, the 'space' that Yakumo Zi comes and goes still exists in the mortal world, and it can always be reached through technical means."
"What about here?"
"As you can see, this vast void is the realm of pure mind, for only consciousness can reach, in the words understood by man, 'the world of pure idealism'. There is an unknowable isolation from the mundane world, and even if we trace the end of the universe or even beyond the existing dimensions of the universe, the distance from this place is still undescribeable. ā
Although it is not easy to understand, why is it the realm of pure idealism if it is the embodiment of physical meaning? But I have some idea of what I know from the surface, and is this really being created? ā
"Probably," Miss Kanako explained to me a second time using uncertain words, "the universe creates everything we know and what we don't yet know, so the 'people' who are in it alone cannot create the universe, and this nothingness may be a vast place that is there in the first place but never known, and it may only be a way to it opened a way by the abilities I have developed, or it may indeed be a manifestation of my creative abilities." Either way, the result is not a universe with a separate mountain. ā
"Well, it doesn't feel like a universe with a separate mountain, because our bodies are still in the same place, and the nothingness of this realm of idealism has the ability to interfere with the real world?"
"Here is nothingness - although the concept of nothingness cannot be expressed in terms of yes or no, and even nothingness itself represents nothingness, but since it is necessary to use language to convey ideas, some illogical ways can only be used in this way - in the void there is only you and me in the sense of idealism, and it can be said that Miss Alice and I are occupying a vast and boundless place, and reality is meaningless here." Kanako did not answer directly, but made the above statement.
"But we have always belonged to reality from our birth to the present," I will not pursue anymore, "I think that in a sense, the vastness of nothingness is also meaningless to reality." ā
"It's just a matter of opinion."
I found myself holding a teacup and opening my eyes, and I threw it to the table in the living room of the Moriya Shinse, and Miss Kanako was still sitting cross-legged with one leg bent.
Kanako in real life continued to say in a sonic way, "I also guessed that Miss Alice might have feelings, and in fact they are exactly what you think. ā
"Although there are opinions on the merits, Miss Kanako thinks so too. All in all, that's all the practical meaning of the ability to create a degree of dryness? ā
"Aha, yes at the moment."
"Just now, when I was in a state of idealism, I tried to concretize the imagination in my mind, but in that vast void, it seems that even the meaning of thinking and acting is blurred, so it seems that the mental image is not so easy to be born out of nothingness."
"Oh? What kind of things did you imagine? ā
"Well, the imagination is the reality we maintain at the moment, a table, a pot of tea, a few cups. But there was no doubt that it failed, and as it should be, I couldn't even concretize my own body, and nothing else should have just appeared. ā
"Although it is a realm of pure idealism by definition, it is not a place where simple thoughts come true, and the mysteries of existence can only be discovered through continuous exploration and research."
"Is the same for the gods who are the creators?" I asked.
"Of course."
"By the way, am I the first person to be invited into the realm of idealism by Miss Kanako?"
"Yes, I've been exploring this void alone for a long time, and only recently have I come across it, and even though it seems to be mine, it's not something I can manipulate as I please."
"Huh...... I am honored to be Miss Kanako's first test subject. ā
"Don't say that, I've also checked what kind of people can be brought in," Kanako said with a grin, "Does Alice feel a desire that spreads out and turns into eternity in the boundless nothingness?" ā
I didn't notice it because it was so fresh at first, but when I thought about it, "I really feel like this, what does that mean?" ā
"It shows that if the mind of the person who enters is not firm to a certain limit, at a certain moment after entering, it will completely escape into nothingness and become an unpredictable existence that is boundless, omnipresent but not placed."
"If there is such a danger, please explain it earlier."
"Isn't that good, not to mention that it doesn't have to be dangerous," Kanako's tone was rather threatening, "How does Miss Alice feel after visiting this realm of idealism that means little to almost all life in matter and energy?" ā
"I do have some trivial thoughts, do all the vanished gods fall into a similar idealistic nothingness? But if the realm of idealism is indeed a creation of Miss Kanako, it doesn't feel like it should be like this. ā
"Whatever it is, I can only answer that I don't know."
"It shouldn't have been a god's answer."
"Aha."
