Chapter 281: The Meaning of Life
Earthquakes, tsunamis, nature's destruction of human life. Residences, roads, bridges, factories, schools, office buildings, almost all the symbols of human civilization that exist in a static and solid state, as the dwelling place of human life, the carrier of human production and life, and the tool for human beings to possess and share the achievements of civilization, have been reduced to ruins in an instant, becoming the medium and witness of the destruction of life. Wu Wei, who has personally experienced the social pains brought about by social changes and the great adjustment of the social structure, feels that such shocks and shocks are no less than earthquakes and tsunamis. The fragility of human life drives human beings to strive to create external civilization achievements to protect their fragile lives. Perhaps, to find the strength and strength of human life, only by returning to the human life itself, returning to the human spirit, and returning to the human heart, that is the ultimate destination of human strength and strength, where can we build a strong and strong cornerstone, and where can we build the spiritual home of human beings.
That trip to the lake with the violent sister, Wu Wei got valuable inspiration from the words of the sister, one-on-one daily relief is relief, is a small relief, in the face of the problems of the times, the entanglement in everyone's hearts is the big entanglement. Since ancient times, the situation has created people, and people have taken the opportunity to become powerful, but fortunately, he has a considerable foundation, as long as enlightenment can be seen in the short term, the effect of leaps and bounds.
Wu Wei began to concentrate on thinking about the meaning of life. After some thought, he sorted out several lines of exploration, and roughly summarized the understanding of the meaning of life into three types: one is the metaphysical understanding, which understands the meaning and value of life as the state of biological physical existence and the corresponding feelings, which can be called secularized understanding. The second is the metaphysical understanding, which understands the meaning and value of life as a spiritual pursuit that transcends the physical body of living beings, and the understanding that "spirit" and "flesh" can be separated, which belongs to the religious type of life values. The third is the understanding and pursuit of the harmony and unity of the biological existence and the spiritual existence of life, which is the life value of the unity of "spirit" and "flesh". The understanding and realization of life is constrained by the contradiction between the biological physical existence and the spiritual existence inherent in the existence of life itself, and the limitations of the material and technical conditions of human existence have historically determined the way people choose to resolve this contradiction. The biological existence of life is strictly regulated by the laws of biochemistry. The existence of the physical body of living beings is subject to strict limitations of time and space. The spirit, because of its imaginative character, has the possibility of transcending the limits of material existence. The early human behavior of seeking the elixir of life in order to achieve immortality reflects the naïve understanding of the existence of life at that time. The dawn of modern scientific and technological progress has shown people the tantalizing prospects and possibilities of human spiritual existence that can overcome the limitations of biological physical existence. The trend of intelligent sophistication in the development of science and technology in the contemporary world indicates that through the realization of neural implantation into the human body to form a human-machine complex, to create an intelligent complex beyond human beings, the simulation method in the brain can create a qiē that people need, so that people feel immersed in the scene, and obtain the corresponding simulation experience. Even human brain cells are no longer composed of carbon but electrons and photons, which cease man's need for biological bodies, and the carrier of man's mind and spirit is converted into electronic circuits and gains immortality. The limitations of human development caused by the biological existence of life will be easily broken, and the material and spiritual existence of life will be perfectly realized at a higher level and in a higher form due to the change of the material existence form of life. It's a pity. We have to go back to the existing lower stage of development and the level of development to explore how to rationally resolve the profound contradiction between the material existence of life and the spiritual existence of life. In this way, we can get a reasonable interpretation of the various contradictions caused by falling into the misunderstanding of life and survival in real life, and seek realistic and feasible ways to resolve them.
The existential crisis can be further decomposed into two forms: the biological crisis of life and the spiritual crisis of life. Due to the inherent limitations of the form of human biological physical existence, people are forced to seek spiritual support outside of their own biological physical existence. Therefore, the spiritual existence of human beings forms a double support: their own biological body and external spiritual sustenance. The so-called existential crisis and life crisis refer to the crisis of human biological physical existence and the resulting spiritual crisis. People live in a certain social and material environment, and due to the influence of people's own factors and external environmental factors, people's biological and physical existence are exposed to various risks, resulting in corresponding psychological pressure and psychological tension. To this end, people use various material and technical means and social conditions to prevent and resolve various risks, so as to enhance people's sense of security. It is extremely important to further examine the time lag between the biological physical crisis and the resulting spiritual crisis. In many cases, human efforts to sustain life are aimed at shortening this time lag. Because prolonging this time lag is tantamount to increasing people's suffering. Given the diversity of factors that trigger crises and the complexity of human psychology, a number of scenarios need to be discussed. Due to the sudden destruction of the biological body, the physical body disappears instantly, and the mental crisis caused by this can be ignored. If the destruction of the human body has just given the person time to react instantaneously, it will only leave a painful, fearful expression on the human face. I and others did not have time to make efforts to defuse the crisis. In the investigation of various other situations, factors such as civilization and rationality will play an important role and play an important role. Due to the blow of unpredictable force majeure caused by natural factors, the victim's self-identity psychology comes into play. Although it is caused by natural factors, it is caused by the combination of man-made early warning and prevention mechanisms. It will induce complex psychological reactions, such as irritability, restlessness, dissatisfaction, hatred, revenge and other psychology. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen social psychological adjustment and improve social management. Generally speaking. It is necessary to establish three major mechanisms: the individual self-regulation mechanism, the social psychological adjustment mechanism, and the social management technology adjustment mechanism. The more complex crisis response and crisis control are crisis problems at the spiritual level. Compared with the impact caused by the crisis of the physical existence of human beings, the spiritual impact caused by the spiritual crisis of losing faith is larger, deeper, more extensive, longer-lasting, and less likely to restore homeostasis.
Buddhists can sit and meditate without earthly troubles, Christians can pray silently in the face of life and death, and communists are willing to die for their faith. From the perspective of cultivating inner concentration and behavioral concentration, the three can reach the same state, which makes each of them have their own social basis for existence. However, the connotations and outward-looking development directions of the three are different. Buddhism, the Buddha is in my heart, and everyone has Buddha nature. Buddha-nature is based on goodness, and its extroversion is embodied in purifying sentient beings, persuading people to do good, and emphasizing the transformation of people's minds through introspection. In the face of earthly suffering and happiness, gain and loss, honor and disgrace, to achieve spiritual sublimation and transcendence. Spiritual transcendence in Buddhism means to get rid of the shackles of secularization, to get rid of distracting thoughts of pleasure and pleasure, and to simplify the mind in order to gain peace of mind and peace of mind. Why are Buddhists allowed to sit and meditate? In order to enhance the mood, in addition to being vigilant, the extreme tranquility of the environmental system is absolutely necessary. The physical body must be free from any desire impulse, prohibit one-qiē behavior, and attain a state of concentration. The art of yoga is to resolutely control the state of the senses, to achieve transcendence, silence and immobility. When a certain pattern of behavior or ritual is repeated thousands of times, it becomes a habit, and it will generate concentration in the heart. It has been clinically proven that a person can hallucinate after a sufficient number of hints. The power of intentional action reinforcement produces an inner spiritual sublimation. The spiritual transcendence in Buddhism also shows the believers an independent space for spiritual activities, provides independent ideological materials, and enhances people's spiritual conception. Rich in spiritual interest. In a secular life, ordinary people sometimes express their Buddha nature, and Wu has a similar experience for himself, not thinking about things that have a great relationship with his power but cannot be controlled by himself. It is a kind of peace of mind. Of course, this can only be cultivated after countless psychological tests and evolutions in life. It is worth noting that the spiritual transcendence and spiritual conception pursued in Buddhism is not the spiritual conception of understanding, cognition, and consciousness through learning and learning. Rather, it is mainly obtained through intuitive insight, perception, and epiphany. Buddhism emancipates the mind by discarding and simplifying the needs of the body, and self-consciousness is no longer relevant to the complex sensations of the body.
The concept of original sin in Christianity arises from the origin of carnal desires, which violate God's taboos. Breaking God's taboo is punishable by death. The fate of the violators being executed is everywhere in the Bible. This plunges the saints into a deep contradiction between the spirit and the flesh. Feelings of anguish, insecurity, nervousness, hesitation, fear, despair, etc., believing that God will determine the ultimate fate of each person even when he is in the womb. Logically, this leads to a fatalistic pessimistic attitude, a person's complete submission to fate. Through the Protestant Revolution, good deeds and hard work were the basic ways to transform a fatalistic attitude into an active and busy life, and to get rid of eternal mental tension and spiritual doubt, so that the otherworldly spiritual pursuit and the secular commercial spirit were unified. The desire to do good and be saved is drawn to ways of wealth accumulation and investment, which in turn translates into a driving force for positive social progress.
Confucius's thoughts and doctrines provide an important source of thought for understanding and resolving the inherent contradictions of existence and life in reality. In the face of various contradictions in reality and conflicts between various emotions, the important ideological value of seeking peace, harmony and moderation lies in opening up a way to resolve the inherent contradictions of life in real life. Its basic starting point is to influence and transform society with the perfection of personality, and has designed a set of survival techniques for people to live in the world. The awareness, understanding and realization of the meaning of survival and life are integrated into reality, giving vitality to reality, and providing a rich source of ideas for the strategic planning and cultural evolution of governing the country and the country. In the real world, it can purify people's hearts and return to reality, becoming a solvent to dissolve the contradictions of reality. Sun Tzu's concept of winning war without fighting reflects the consistent ideological connotation and the charm of personality strength in traditional Chinese culture. Confucius Thought truly reveals the complexity and artificiality of the composition mechanism of the real world. The internal contradictions in the life process are not only externalized confrontations, but can be internally dissolved through the internal adjustment of guò people, which provides an important ideological source for the construction of Chinese self-confident personality. Buddhism and Christianity are different. Buddhism wears of carnal pleasures and despises sensual sensations, and tortures and destroys the flesh through guò and penance, until it simplifies the needs of the flesh to the extreme, abandons the body, and treats the body as a shell of last resort, so as to obtain freedom of the mind, spiritual perfection, and eternal happiness. The doctrine of original sin in Christianity also plunges the inner world into sharp conflicts, and the forbidden way transcends the mundane and achieves spiritual perfection and harmony.
In solving the problem of the value of human survival and life, the communist ideological system presents a highly open and dynamic structure at the level of the spiritual system, and its basic ideological principles and outward-looking development path are consistent. The basic idea of grand altruism to serve the people wholeheartedly constitutes a powerful and continuous spiritual momentum for behavior; He believes that the task of philosophy is not to explain the world, but to transform the world, so as to give it a positive and all-round extroverted development direction; Its basic principle of the unity of spirit and material points out the course for people to transform their own subjective world while transforming the objective world; Its ideological concepts, such as the criterion of truth, the unity of subjective motives and objective effects, the development of productive forces, common prosperity, the integration of spiritual encouragement with material encouragement, the integration of material civilization with the building of spiritual civilization, and respect for the reasonable needs of individuals, reflect the unity of the overall development trend of society and the requirements of a specific historical development stage. Sustained development requires the spiritual strength to constantly overcome the limitations of the stage and constantly achieve the transcendence of the stage, so as to continuously raise the human society to a new level of development.
