Chapter 287: Man and Tao (I)

With the people of the world to become the things of the world, with the things of the world to construct the theory of the world, with the theory of the world to round the reason of the world, with the reason of the world to adjust the world's travel, with the world's behavior from the heart of the world.

Wu Wei is sensitive to the accuracy of his senses, and is keenly aware that the avenue is both intangible and tangible, incorporeal and physical, thick and hard like a mountain, following nature and like water, everything is connected by the Tao, and people realize the Tao with their own understanding and way to manifest the Tao for the Tao, and the existence or absence of the Tao, strength and weakness, depth and shallowness, and superiority determine the fate of people. The purity of the Tao and the infinite difference make the Tao and the human nature mutually reinforcing. Originally, the Tao was wide and narrow, straight and tortuous, flat and bumpy, righteous and evil, high and low. Wu Wei realized this principle, and the Tao turned into human nature, resolved the conflict between Tao and human nature, and became respectful and obedient to nature. His academic supremacy has specifically achieved the way of happiness, benefiting oneself and others, pleasing oneself and others, and making Taoism and human nature coexist and help each other. To guide life with academic enlightenment, to provide rich themes for academics, to enrich academic nutrition, to nourish life and enrich life experience. The unique understanding of Taoism, the ups and downs of life, the ups and downs of life, the way of entering and retreating, and the way of practicing respectfully and obediently, expanded the freedom of his life, provided a broad space for maneuver, relieved all kinds of entanglements that may be encountered, resolved various crises in life, avoided the farce of self-destruction in life, and made the best use of Taoism to benefit people and raise people.

The external structural system of human beings, which is composed of elements such as science and technology, system, and culture, as the crystallization of generations of accumulation, is a superhuman objective existence with its relatively independent and self-contained structural system, activity laws and functions. On the basis of the external system used by the previous generations, the future generations will continue to improve and innovate according to the needs of their own times, so that the external system can gain the power to develop and promote, and make the external structural system more exquisite and functional. Among all the patterns of behaviour that have developed in modern society, the most modern ones are the credit system and the mass information exchange system, which have greatly expanded people's horizons and provided convenient means to take advantage of modern achievements. The increasingly developed financial system and electronic technology facilities have overcome the limitations of human nature, amplified human energy unprecedentedly, and the whole world has become close to the eye and within reach, so that modern people have the infinite possibility of optimizing their own life and storage, and greatly stimulated people's enthusiasm for extensive participation. The incomparable splendor of the great creations of mankind has inspired people's confidence and gained an unprecedented sense of power, and the success of light yì has contributed to people's sense of omnipotence. The energy in my heart expands infinitely. Therefore, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, the world will change because of me, the earth will stop rotating because of me, and even another sun can be created. It is as if people are in a world of mythology. The real life is full of dramatic elements, and the existence of a single person's life is so fragile and short, which makes the contradiction between man and Tao extremely acute, and the slightest carelessness can lead to a short-lived farce and tragedy that shatters dreams, only at this moment. It is only in this that one can discover one's own insignificance and vulnerability, and the well-constructed perfect life is so vulnerable. Whether a person's sense of survival is healthy and mature, and whether they can achieve perfect self-control, directly determines their respective fate.

In the face of a huge external system. The sharp contradiction between man and the Tao is a good way for man to carefully construct his own mental world. Man has a deep, intense, and enduring inner need for tranquility. People need to face not only the survival situation and the survival situation, but also their own hearts; It is necessary not only to communicate with the living environment of the outside world, but also to achieve communication with one's own heart. The importance of the element of the mind. It is determined that there must be a mechanism of self-stability in the human heart, the formation of some element of consciousness that can make the mind at peace, if this element is lacking in the inner world of the person. It is difficult to maintain peace of mind and suppress the fluctuation of the mind. If this element is generated or implanted, it will become the object of self-communication, and the communication with this object will produce psychological concentration, and the element of consciousness that can become the object of self-communication and produce the effect of psychological concentration is commonly known as reassuring pills. The element of consciousness that can produce the effect of psychological concentration is a carrier of dialogue and communication between the self in reality and the self in the mind, and the self in the mind is higher than the self in reality, and it determines and promotes the action of the self in reality. For this reason, the self in the mind must have a definite form of self-consciousness that embodies its existence. The form of human self-existence is doubled: the self in reality is a flesh-and-blood living being, and the self in the mind is expressed as an abstract consciousness existence, while in the human spiritual world, intellectual elements and belief elements coexist and are difficult to distinguish, and belief elements determine our attitude towards people and things, and are the internal basis for determining our actions. In order to make this abstract existence of consciousness something that can be pondered by the real self, in order to make its functional meaning clear, clear and fixed, as the basis and guide of the soul and external action, to establish the standard and scale of value judgment in the mind, to decide whether something is "on the mind or not", and to make "there is a scale in the heart", it is necessary to highlight it as a belief and fix it clearly. Beliefs generally express a clear value orientation, such as the value of life or who the effort of life is for or worthy of. It has the following characteristics: (1) it can become the object of one's own worship, is the ultimate destination of the soul, and has spiritual loftiness and solemnity; (2) the conscious consciousness that exists in one's own heart, that oneself can clearly realize, and that can be expressed in clear and concise language; (3) It can effectively eliminate the interference of other factors that disturb the soul and keep the mind in a state of tranquility; (4) It has the characteristics of openness and extroversion, effectively dominates behavior, becomes the internal basis of behavior, and stimulates the vitality of life; (5) Adaptability to local conditions; (6) People become emotionally dependent on their beliefs in the heart.

Once this consciousness is formed, it will be confirmed and reflected through the corresponding practical actions of the people themselves, so that the people's souls can be comforted, and their own actions will establish a direct basis. This kind of spiritual idol does not exist in the form of separation and isolation from reality and secular life, like religious idols, but exists in people's real life and merges with the meaning of life itself, so that it is difficult for people to reveal it as a consciousness with independent connotation, and to confuse it with the intellectual consciousness of ordinary life. In the context of the deepening of the market economy, the living situation faced by people has become highly individualized, and the individual has become the basic unit of market economic activities, and has naturally become the direct bearer of pressure, risk and even crisis, and the occurrence of individual crises has become universal. Unified belief has been difficult to fully meet the needs of personality to regulate the inner contradictions, the self-control belief of seeking oneself came into being, everyone constructs the corresponding value combination goal, and visualizes it, showing the corresponding scene and illusion in the mind, which can really motivate and comfort themselves. It does not come from some mysterious divine revelation, but a revelation that comes from the heart, and is a universal spiritual experience. At the moment of its creation, the value and meaning of life, the inner motivation of life, will be clearly recognized and expressed, and it is something that everyone can clearly realize through recollection. It is extremely clear and profound in people's memories. Tongguò's examination of this type of phenomenon of mental activity can show the complex nature of mental changes. I don't know how to get peace of mind, and I don't know how to get even a shrunken peace of mind. When you think about it, this mood is a little bitter, good people get good deeds to be rewarded, and the reward must be reported by the supreme foreign party, regardless of whether the supreme is there or not, what form and quality, and what comes from. It's faith. A more typical belief is that God is omniscient, omnipotent, and all-good, and believing that a certain statement is true also falls into this category. It's not easy to build such a belief. The ideas and practices that belong to the lower level and know that they have no choice but to settle down are still grasses without roots, or grasses with deep roots, and they do not grow firmly. Similar ideas arise hard. It is more difficult to consolidate after generation. After its formation, it mainly depends on the firmness of the will to ensure its consolidated position. Generally speaking, the formation and establishment of such beliefs are often mental phenomena that occur only when the mental activity is in a certain extreme state, such as happiness or sadness reaching the ultimate state. It will go to the opposite, and the meaningful or meaningless to the extreme is the opposite of each of them. In some cases, the development of mental activity to the extreme will lead to self-denial and self-destruction. The internal mechanism by which beliefs arise and are generated. People can deliberately use it, deliberately think to the extreme, or push a certain mental activity to the extreme, often flashing other possible directions of spiritual development, thus showing the various development paths that may appear in real life. The exclusivity of human mind is usually in a certain direction, mode or fixed position, and the resulting exclusivity keeps the mind in a locked state, in a state of total inhibition, which restricts the inner generation of a certain different thought or hinders the inner from receiving external input. Therefore, when the mind and mind are in a state of silence and death, it is of special significance to break the confinement of the mind and the confinement of the mind. By extension, keeping the mind open and active is the key to maintaining a vigorous mental capacity.

In order to express and communicate a certain consciousness, people need external forms of language or rituals with corresponding connotations. With the passage of time, the language or ritual has been preserved, but its connotation has been partially or completely lost, but the simple meaning attached to the language and ritual has been preserved accordingly and has become a symbol of intention. Language or ritual can only acquire vivid and rich meaning when it is restored to a concrete generative context. It is through the interpretation or reinterpretation of the form that we can gain a new understanding of the form.

Self-generation of certain beliefs still exists in legitimacy and validity. Social development gives individuals more and more space for self-determination, self-determination, self-risk, and self-identification, which determines the internal legitimacy of self-control beliefs. Because it arises from its own situation, its own needs, and its own mental activity, it gives it inner legitimacy, which determines its effectiveness, and produces the effect of stabilizing the mind and activating the heart. People are often not satisfied with their own internal legitimacy, and often after they are generated, they are admired by others, hoping to be praised by others, further recognized by the social legitimacy of morality and law, and achieving the consistency between the internal self-legitimacy and the external social legitimacy. Sometimes, when self-control beliefs conflict with the external requirements of social legitimacy, and cannot be openly revealed, they are cherished in the heart and stay in the state of internal legitimacy, and the process of their outward realization has to take a hidden form and be in a state of repression.
