Chapter 282: The Meaning of Life Lies in the Process (II)

Since the 90s of the last century, with the full development of the market economy, the Chinese people have generally felt the pressure of survival, and the problem of survival has risen to a general consciousness. Wu moved in response to the times, felt the reality immersively, understood the reality, understood the reality, respected the reality, and influenced the reality, actively devoted himself to the social practice of transforming the reality, and consciously assumed the ideological pressure formed in the process of social adjustment and development. His understanding of the meaning of life is a synthesis of the intellectual achievements of all aspects concerned. He takes people's survival consciousness as the most basic analysis unit, expands survival consciousness into an analysis system, and then promotes survival technology and improves people's survival wisdom. This is an interdisciplinary research that involves religion, philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, history and other fields, and is a wide-field, multi-angle, systematic and all-round perspective on the problem of survival, in order to provide a new intellectual fulcrum for improving people's ability to survive.

Survival consciousness in a broad sense generally refers to the consciousness formed by human beings, as the main body of survival and development, in the process of interacting with the external living environment and living state. But this definition feels too broad. A certain concept, idea, or thought that emerges in a person's mind belongs to consciousness, but it is not necessarily the consciousness of survival, and it is not necessarily related to the survival of a person. We know that there is a certain body in the distant space, but this understanding has no effect on our actual state of existence, so we need to further limit the consciousness of survival, that is, limit the scope of our analysis. Consciousness that should have the following characteristics is the consciousness of survival:

(1) Spatiotemporality. Survival consciousness is the consciousness formed within a certain time and space environment. This kind of consciousness has a real impact on the state of human existence, and cannot be separated from the time and space environment. From the perspective of temporal characteristics, it is the consciousness that can affect one's actual state of existence in the present and in a certain period of time in the future. In the same way, things and events that are the content of consciousness can only have an impact on their own state of existence within a certain spatial distance. Existential consciousness rejects ethereal consciousness. For example, illusory consciousness. However, with the change of the space-time environment, things that were originally thought to be ethereal may become factors that have a real impact on the actual state of existence. The so-called fantasy becomes ideal and ideal becomes reality, which verifies this truth. According to this principle, as people's living environment becomes more and more open and complex, the factors that affect people's living conditions become more and more complex, and the content of the field of survival consciousness will become more diverse and complex, and people should treat this change in survival consciousness with an open-minded and open attitude.

(2) Validity. There is often a certain kind of erratic, immediate, detached consciousness in the human mind, and then when the person is in a state of disconnection. Because the desire to survive will also produce a sensitive demand for a certain diet, this consciousness can no longer have an effective controlling and restraining effect on the actual survival behavior, so it does not belong to the scope of this investigation. Survival consciousness is the consciousness that can have an effective impact on survival behavior, survival state, and survival situation.

(3) Value. Survival consciousness is a conceptual reflection of the value of human survival. Once the consciousness of survival is formed, it will have a so-called good and bad, positive and negative impact on people's actual living conditions and living conditions.

(4) Systematic. Focusing on all aspects of human existence, a relatively systematic and complete sense of survival should be formed to meet the needs of various types of survival. Survival consciousness is a structural system from simple to complex, from single to diverse, from low to high, from naïve to mature, from one-sided to complete.

(5) Modernity. The consciousness of survival is in the process of constantly changing, and it changes accordingly from time to place. Every era has a corresponding sense of the times. In the era of agricultural economy, physical strength is the survival capital, and the human body is valued. In the era of industrial economy. It focuses on people's manual skills, and the consciousness of survival is concentrated in the form of manual skills. In the era of planned economy, people's economic behavior is to wait for arrangements, and in the face of certain changes, the expression is the passive consciousness of "others have not told me what to do". In the era of market economy. In the face of change, it is the active consciousness of "I haven't decided what to do".

Wu Wei's research on the consciousness of survival is to more fully explain the meaning of life. He believes that we cannot detach ourselves from the destiny given to human beings by nature and change the birth, aging, sickness, death, joy, anger and sorrow in life. But we can change the way we feel and experience life by interpreting the meaning of life. In the face of the complex and changeable living environment in today's world, we must learn new survival skills. Master the new wisdom of survival, create a new perception in a life that seems normal and uneventful, sublimate our life concept, and create our life happiness. The survival phenomenon wrapped in the consciousness of survival is objective, and it is independent of people's subjective feelings and attitudes, so the influence of human factors can be excluded. The actual state of existence is presented to people in isolation fragments of life and life plots, and the value and concept of human existence are divided by the form of reality in existence, so that the meaning of existence in the fragments is not necessarily known to the actors, or not necessarily clearly realized by the actors. The primitive form of human existence is that phenomena are in a state of separation, separation, separation, and fragmentation between them, the connection between them is looming, and the value and significance of phenomena are hidden. Little is known about the valuable information that phenomena imply. "Why didn't I see it?" "Why didn't I think of that?" "Why didn't I do it?" This is a regret that is often felt. Starting from the basic facts of existence and the phenomena of existence, and further revealing the social connotation of the phenomenal world, this method of analysis is like Marx said, "a trivial thing that needs to be done under the microscope." "Stripped of the appearance of the phenomenon of existence, the wholeness and internal structure of the phenomenon can be noted from a static point of view; From a dynamic point of view, we can see the internal trajectory of the phenomenon evolution sequence. The analysis of survival consciousness is a systematic "cultural reproduction" activity of survival facts, survival problems, survival phenomena, and life processes. With the passage of time, the evolution of the phenomenal world, on the one hand, is accompanied by the gradual loss and disappearance of the vivid characteristics of phenomena, and the phenomena and facts have become "relatively lighter" in people's minds, and time is the best "antidote"; On the other hand, as something with cultural value, it is inherited, accumulated, preserved, and disseminated. The phenomenal world is constantly injected with new phenomena, arousing people's observation and thinking, realizing cultural innovations, and relatively weighty things entering people's field of vision. Realistic actors are habitual. Thinking about meaning and value will be dismissive and indifferent. The importance of the interpretation of survival consciousness can even be found in the "jokes" that are popular at the wine table. Some fragments of primitive existence in life, after some artistic processing, acquire a new meaning and bring people a new experience. The study of survival consciousness provides a comprehensive interpretation of people's living conditions, making people aware of the meaning hidden in the shell of daily survival actions, which can bring people a comprehensive and new experience, and make people feel the meaning in seemingly meaningless actions. Tongguò establishes a systematic concept of survival and implants it into people's consciousness of real survival. Explore the artificially endowable and imaginable space of value, and strive to realize it, and strive to further enhance the value of survival on the basis of interpretation, and experience a new artistic conception.

The importance of explaining the meaning of life can also be derived from psychoanalytic research. The psychoanalytic theory founded by Sigmund Freud is the study of dreams, which are a form of disguise, deformation, and transcendent expression and realization of human desires and needs after the way to realize them in reality is blocked. Everyone has dreamed of one kind or another, but none of them have studied it in conjunction with real needs. Dreams I had. Without the knowledge and cultivation of psychoanalysis, it is difficult to connect dreams with reality and think about them, so as to reveal the meaning of dreams. In Freud's doctrine, dreams have their specific meaning. Dreams, as an implicit expression of the repressed subconscious, are of course important to interpret them. However, the interpretation and study of "wake" consciousness in living in reality is even more important. Generally speaking, there are two ways to express and realize the meaning of survival and the pursuit of survival: one is dreams. The other is the way and way of reality. The meaning of real survival behavior, or the meaning it has, needs to be explained and studied even more. It is more common and more frequent, and through the interpretation and study of the meaning of real survival behavior, it can directly revise, change, and re-give meaning to the action, thereby increasing the motivation and vitality of the action. The true meaning of an action is often not expressed in a simple and straightforward form that people can see at a glance. Like both the enemy and the competitor, they usually disguise and disguise their true intentions. Dreams are often a disguised form of realistic desire, and sometimes the same is also necessary in the waking real world, considering that exposing one's true intentions to the other person will often cause oneself to be harmed. There is no ideal situation for expressing and realizing one's wishes and demands in the complex state of reality than to let them be realized and at the same time avoid being hindered and harmed, so that the realization of one's wishes will not cause conflicts. This requires advanced intelligence and sophisticated handling skills.

The familiar things that appear in our field of vision have a three-dimensional sense of space and a continuity of time. If we detach ourselves from the concrete feelings of these concrete scenes and make abstract thinking and abstract imagination, the artistic conception presented has the characteristics of jumping, discontinuous, static and virtual. The so-called artistic conception is the system of meaning that comes to mind about the value of things. Meaning is about the value of something, someone, to the subject of evaluation. As the subject of evaluation, people not only passively bear its negative influence, so the meaning has a dual nature: one is the objective impact of something and someone on the object of action; On the other hand, it is the subjective evaluation and subjective feeling of this influence produced by people as the subject of evaluation. Meaning has both an objective basis and an artificially given attribute. Meaning is again a very practical question. People take corresponding actions according to their own understanding of things and things, and people's recognition and confirmation of meaning become the key factors affecting the consequences of behavior. The human endowment of meaning lies in giving the development process of things an active and original social practice attribute. When we describe or retell these meanings, we often have a boring and abstract feeling, and we have to add concrete and typical examples to interpret them in order to have a concrete and vivid feeling. If we try to expand the consciousness of survival into an independent system, an independent space for consciousness activities, we must provide consciousness materials, provide objects for thinking and imagination, these materials and objects are from the prototype of things in reality, these prototypes of things are not isolated and self-existent, but composed into a certain situation, this kind of situation contains the interaction process of "meaning" and "environment" in which the intention is born from the environment, a certain artistic conception is born from the situation, the environment is born from the intention, and the consciousness actively changes the situation.

In the artistic conception, the archetype of things has taken on a surreal character and has undergone a new organization. Consciousness can arbitrarily divide and combine elements of reality and assign corresponding meanings. In order for our consciousness to become effective and to have an effective effect on the elements of reality, it is necessary to have knowledge of the characteristics of the elements of the spirit. The important content and function of consciousness activities is not only to deal with the elements of reality, but more importantly, to form and accumulate a series of spiritual hard cores and spiritual elements, which are expressed as a series of concepts and personified as qualitative factors. These spiritual elements make up the system of consciousness. The formation of low and bad qualities such as fraud, laziness, and cruelty and good qualities such as honesty, trustworthiness, diligence, and benevolence all require a process of pressurized integration. The forging process of the steel ingot by the 10,000-ton hydraulic press gives the steel ingot new physical and chemical properties, and enhances the strength and flexibility of the material. The acquisition of many spiritual elements and personality qualities of human beings also requires various forms of social pressure processes to be formed. For example, criminal syndicates often recruit innocent civilians to reinforce their cruel character.

Touching can change the mood of our existence. Understanding and moving, learning to move, and having moving, and adding a sensitivity to moving will give us an extremely rich survival experience and give us a strong spiritual momentum. Touched is a wide river flowing in the world of people's hearts, which will activate our hearts and give us passion; It is the emotional solvent that we accept life, accommodate life, love life, and integrate with life; It is a deep perception of the survival situation, a deep sympathy for the encounters of life, and a deep humanistic concern for life.

When people are in a real and perceptible world, how can they achieve spiritual transcendence and show the independence of the spiritual world? The procedure to be followed is: Stillness - Concentration of the mind - Thoughts. Quiet, through guò for a few hours, days, months, or even years, contemplation and contemplation, so that the spiritual world can be freed from the shackles of reality and exert its imagination. Concentrating one's mind is an important step in directing one's mind toward oneself. The activities of the spiritual world are multi-directional and divergent due to stillness, and it is difficult to spontaneously produce a convergence effect and form the expected ideological results and functions. Thinking, what kind of ideological materials to choose for thinking is very important for improving people's spiritual conception. The nature of the material of thought will determine the direction of the evolution of thought. For troubled people, persuading them to think about and recall happy things can often achieve the desired effect, because thinking about good things can make people have a good experience and purify people's hearts. If you always remember the good side of the world, you can think of it as a way to cultivate a good state of mind.

What do people live for? This problem has a strong outward-looking characteristic. There are undoubtedly multiple ways to answer this question. The question to be raised here is that the spiritual world has its own system, becomes an independent space for thinking, a self-contained spiritual source, becomes an objectified spiritual being, 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 formation of a networked economy, and the increasing complexity and risk of human activities, 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.
