Chapter 144: Learning (II)

Wu Wei believes that life is to shape and complete oneself in continuous choice, and what kind of person you become depends entirely on how you shape yourself. In the process of self-shaping, consciousness plays a decisive role.

Wu Wei wrote that from the perspective of a single person, we cannot simply copy the philosophical principle that existence determines consciousness and consciousness has a negative effect on existence, but that consciousness determines existence. It is usually said that the concept determines the way out, and the way out determines the fate, but in fact, it is said that consciousness determines existence. I have demonstrated this through a comparative and systematic examination of the consciousness of survival roles. The so-called survival role consciousness refers to the relevant role consciousness formed by people assuming or playing a certain role in a certain survival situation or state. The consciousness of survival is achieved concretely through a certain sense of role. Intention is born from the environment, which illustrates the internal dependence of survival consciousness on the existence of survival roles; The environment is created by the mind, which shows the decisive role of survival consciousness on the role of survival. Different people who take on the same role may have different manifestations of consciousness, and the same person may take on different roles and face different living circumstances, but they may be accompanied by the same expression of consciousness. Each survival role will form a survival consciousness that reflects the characteristics of the role, and judge the attributes of the survival role by the content and state of the role consciousness. People of different status may produce the same consciousness and form the same manifestation of consciousness; Different people in the same status and in the same state of existence may have different manifestations of consciousness. Therefore, the survival role is based on the survival consciousness of the division of roles, it emphasizes the consciousness of people to assume a certain role, according to the presence or absence of a certain consciousness, the strength of the consciousness of the performance of the division of roles, and the social attributes of the role does not have a strict sense of correspondence, but with the role of the person's personality quality, personality quality is highly correlated. Survival roles have their own classification methods, for example, according to the presence or absence of a certain survival consciousness and the strength of performance, survival roles can be divided into strong and weak, brave and cowardly, wise and foolish, benevolent and evil, radical and conservative, innovator and conservative, and so on. Different survival role consciousness determines the survival state and survival situation of the person who assumes the survival role, and it can even be said. It is the consciousness of the survival role that has predetermined the fate of the survival character.

In today's society, everyone and the state of existence he is facing are generally caught in one entanglement after another, and how to relieve such entanglements has become a realistic ecology faced by everyone. This kind of tangled dilemma just opens the era of consciousness revolution for us, and it is an era of revolutionary changes in the relationship between consciousness and existence. Our notions of consciousness need to be revolutionized. Never before has a change in the perception of consciousness been more important. Awareness of the opportunities and challenges we face in life, and the intensity of our awareness, have become important factors in determining the situation in which each of us exists. We are already living in a world full of consciousness. How to face the various consciousnesses that come to us, how to choose, accept, and establish a certain consciousness. determines whether we can untie the tangles in our hearts. The universal activation of individual consciousness is the basic result of the consciousness revolution, and at the same time, it is also the premise for creating a new life. Without the universal activation of the consciousness of individuality, people's survival capital can only be in a state of dispersion and sinking

Instead, it can become a burden on our lives and a source of trouble and misfortune.

People who have personally experienced the planning of the economy have generally fallen into a mental misunderstanding, believing that the problem of personal survival does not have to be worried about by individuals. The organization will try to relieve all worries, and individuals can devote themselves to their work and career. The fact that a single person is generally entangled in survival is precisely a profound reflection of the poor adaptation to the market economy. People's social outlets have become relatively narrow, and people's social living space has become relatively limited. The competition for human survival has become more severe than ever. However, the space of human mind presents us with the possibility of infinite expansion, so it contains the possibility of opening up and expanding the real living space. In short, it is only because of the narrowness of our existing mental space that the problem of the living space of reality has become cruel and acute. As a result, our already narrow mental space becomes even more unbearable. The expansion of the spiritual space lies in wisdom, in improving our mental ability, and then in improving our survival wisdom. Our living space will become unprecedentedly broad, and the way out of real survival will correspondingly show its diversity and the possibility of in-depth expansion. When society lacks a way out, the question of the way out of the soul becomes important and urgent. The mention of survival resonates strongly with many people. With the relative extension of human life expectancy, the shortening of working hours in the narrow sense, and the unprecedented increase in the pressure of job competition, people's thinking about survival and the meaning of life has been re-triggered. This new thinking should be the culmination of the excellent essence of the ancient theory of the transformation of the human mind and the achievements of the exploration and transformation of modern nature and society, combined with the problems of real life, and synthesized and synthesized in the direction of realizing spiritual transcendence, spiritual emancipation and effectively solving practical problems, so as to realize the unity of introverted mental adjustment and extroverted effective improvement of quality of life.

What do people live for? There are undoubtedly multiple ways to answer this question. The question to be raised here is that the spiritual world has its own system, becoming an independent space for thinking, a self-contained spiritual source, and needs to reveal its internal structure and potential. The survival behaviors that people discuss under general circumstances often belong to spiritual phenomena and behaviors that are close to the surface of daily life, with obvious utilitarian orientation, and lack deep ideological and spiritual connotations. In order to explore the deep ideological and spiritual connotations of human behavior, it is also necessary to absorb the essence of religious and philosophical thought in order to seek the ultimate basis for behavior. With the deepening of economic globalization and marketization, the advent of the Internet age, the complexity and risk of human activities have increased, and people are becoming more and more accustomed to treating different cultures with a more tolerant and open attitude, and even actively absorbing spiritual and intellectual nourishment from them, raising the level of efforts, so that various ideologies and cultures have begun to usher in a new spring of convergence and integration.

In the face of entanglement, Wu Wei confidently proposed that we should establish a rational outlook on survival. The characteristics of the meaning of existence and life that we feel in real life are real, tangible, and fragmentary, with clear boundaries of time and space, which can be measured and therefore temporary. Our awareness, understanding, and realization of the meaning of life are usually carried by these temporary things. If we talk about transcendence, it is only a conscious effort to move to a higher level after achieving it at a lower level. This kind of knowledge and understanding of the meaning of life is limited to a temporary understanding, so there are differences in degree. Presented as a difference in the level of level. Time changes everything. Sensations change over time. The peak experience of success in reality is also temporary, fleeting, and limited, so that all the accompanying feelings will disappear. If we are swayed by such a simple and straightforward outlook on life, we will fall into a cyclical cycle of gain and loss, and only the knowledge and understanding of the pure spirituality of life, and the consciousness that transcends all temporary understandings, will we approach or achieve the knowledge and understanding of the eternity and fixity of the meaning of life, and obtain a purely spiritual consciousness of life.

The ultimate meaning of life lies in the process, in the midst of constant change, and in a series of continuous states. It is unreliable to place the meaning of life in any specific stage and form, and it will be easily destroyed by the passage of time. This is the law of life, the inevitability of life. In the face of this law and this inevitability, we are not subject to this, but calmly face this regularity and inevitability, establish a sense of survival and a concept of survival that are compatible with the whole process of life, and strive to enhance the meaning of the whole process of life.

The popular health consciousness is actually a reflection of the consciousness of cherishing existence and cherishing life, existence is meaning, and people are called on to cherish and love themselves. It is the affirmation of the consciousness of survival in a universal sense, the consciousness of self-protection of survival and life, and the return and return of social consciousness to the individual and personality levels. Does this change lead to introversion, isolation, depression, conservatism, narrow-mindedness, negative individualism, or extreme egoism? The market mechanism will effectively overcome and prevent the self-preservation consciousness of life from sliding into low-level, primitive individualism. Schopenhauer's "Theory of the Emptiness of Existence" holds that human existence is worthless, and that the essence of existence is in constant motion. Life is an activity supported by needs and psychedelics, and the troubles caused by the failure to achieve the purpose of life are the cause of the emptiness of life. While it is reasonable to think of human existence as consisting of a number of successive points or fragments, it is anti-social, anti-historical, and even absurd to conclude from this pessimistic conclusion that life is empty. The theory of existential emptiness is not to instruct people to cherish every point that makes up life. So as to constantly enrich and expand the meaning of life. The essence of raising the issue of survival consciousness is to remind people to pay attention to the problem of human existence, especially the survival of the general public. There are many ways to choose from here, such as causing ignorance, destroying desires, and gaining liberation; education, self-help; Addressing the systemic and social causes of poverty and suffering; social assistance and so on. The progress of modern civilization precludes the first option. There are several ways in which the self-preservation consciousness of life may be derived: a return to an introverted state of dead silence; Seek otherworldly spiritual transcendence. to get rid of the joys and sorrows of life; In reality, the possession of wealth is sought to provide the conditions for survival and development. The direction we are looking at is a realistic development possibility. The market mechanism will force the consciousness of survival to become an open and constantly expanding spiritual system, so that the meaning of survival and life will be continuously enriched, expanded and sublimated.

Next, Wu Wei cautiously wrote that establishing a whole-process concept of the meaning of life does not exclude that at a certain stage or even a certain moment in life, people will experience some kind of strange experience, accompanied by supreme joy, which will then solidify into eternal memory, have the effect of permanent peace of mind, and perhaps make people have an extremely rare sense of completion in life. For people, expecting such a psychological effect may be just an illusion, an unsatisfying luxury, but the establishment of such a fantasy is enough to make people full of hope for the future, and people who are full of hope will be so meaningful and full of vitality in every moment of the future.

Ah Le originally opened the USB flash drive sent by Wu Wei with a critical mood, and as soon as he saw the title, he was interested, and continued to read it turned out to be a philosophical proposition that he had studied, and when he read it, he saw that the view that consciousness determines existence from an individual perspective coincided with his own point of view, and he couldn't help but be afraid of the case. I thought I would give up after reading it after dinner, but I couldn't put it down when I read it, and I read it until late at night, and I finished it in one go. Early the next morning, he called Wu Wei and called out affectionately, Brother Wu, I really underestimated you, I didn't expect your academic attainments to be very deep. You have given a new connotation to the ancient proposition of what people should live, and I believe that it will be enlightening for contemporary people how to get rid of spiritual difficulties. I read your masterpiece overnight, and I said to my daughter-in-law this morning that I didn't expect Brother Wu to write such a purely academic work in such a school. She also said that she also has an impression of you, and often sees your articles in journals and meets you.

Wu Weiru met a bosom friend and said happily, okay, I'll arrange it another day, and the two of us will get together. (To be continued......)
