Chapter Seventy-Three: A Supernatural Experience

One afternoon, Wu Wei received a call from He Fei, telling him the sad news of Chang Si's death. Wu Wei hurriedly called the phone number left by Chang Si for him, but no one answered. Ye Feng looked at the number and said that it was PHS, indeed, how could a person still be able to answer when he died, and it became an uncommunicative communication.

Wu Wei suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, and since then he has lost a close friend he has been talking to. That year, the school was downsized, downgraded and downsized, and Chang Si went to teach at a university due to the buyout of his seniority, and Wu Wei always thought that he had found a more ideal home. Because he bought out his seniority, although there were some contacts later, they were not as frequent as before. More than two months before hearing the news, Chang Si also called Wu Wei and asked Wu Wei how his situation was and what new works he had in the near future. Wu Weizhi said that his body has not been very thin, and he had a stomach operation more than ten years ago, so he asked him how he was doing. He told Wu Wei very lightly that he had just had a minor intestinal surgery recently, and there was no problem, and Wu Wei asked him to come to the school for a reunion when he was free, saying that he had formed some ideas in the past few years, and left his new contact number.

Wu Wei regretted that because of his carelessness, he did not visit him during his serious illness. Unexpectedly, this agreement turned out to be a life-and-death agreement, and an agreement that could not be fulfilled in the world. Wu Wei asked for Chang Si's ex-wife's mobile phone number from He Fei, and called several times but did not answer because he was busy, but finally contacted his ex-wife and went to mourn. His ex-wife told Wu Wei that he had rectal cancer but never told him that the school reform had hit him very hard, and he had been in a bad mood since he bought out his seniority, and he was not happy to find a job later, and he was very irritable and depressed. Thanks to his wife's meticulous care and concealment of his illness, he was fortunate not to suffer much from the pain and final mental torment. Wu Wei misses this best friend very much, the two of them talked very much, and then although they didn't have much contact but they also missed each other, and now they feel that he has pain in his heart but never shows it to himself, but he is still concerned about his own situation shortly before he dies, he has few soulmates in the world, and his heart must be very lonely. Four days before his death, he went to a forum organized by high-ranking party figures and made a speech at the meeting, and no matter how the content of the speech was evaluated, it showed that he was still working hard, and his friendship and spirit were very worthy of cherishing and cherishing compared with those who were physically strong but mentally cowardly in the face of difficulties and dangers.

For Wu Wei, the aftermath of the labor pain that had just passed did not stop, and Chang Si's death made his heart particularly heavy. The idea that I should tell my contemporaries something became stronger, and after some reflection and exploration, I gathered the ideas that had been accumulated and wrote them into a pamphlet, which was distributed within a certain range and received some praise. Later, I always felt that some things were not explained thoroughly. What else do you want to say, what else do you want to tell people. Even he himself was at a loss. Later, I picked up the Bible and reread it. This Bible reading made him curious. We have no God in our hearts, and it is too difficult for us to believe that there is a God. But what is it about the God of the Bible, or God, that can convince so many people? Reading it and thinking deeply, I don't understand it. Later, I thought, maybe religious thinking is different from ours. Reading what the missionaries say, there is a division between blood and spirituality, and the two do not believe in each other. Our thinking, in order for people to believe, must be seen and touched. The Bible also uses miracles to convince people of God's existence. It is conjectured that there must be another reason for the formation of the trust mechanism in religion, which is difficult to understand with our normal thinking. The language of the Bible is very similar to ours, and it is so different from the point of view of the trust mechanism. In the same way, if someone believes, we do not. What could make such a big difference? Reading a brief history of God, there is a sentence in it that God is a phenomenon that has reached a very high level after long-term cultivation, which made Wu Wei very inspired. He thinks about what feelings and thoughts can be generated in people's hearts, and what controls them. Why do people think this way and not that? What do people think about giving birth to those strange thoughts and feelings? In the past, different cultural backgrounds led to differences in thinking. Now I think that the deeper level is different from education. Westerners or people from other countries have been baptized by religion, and we have been educated through Confucius. Different ways of indoctrination and thinking cause differences in mental nature. The two have many things in common, but fundamentally the mechanism of indoctrination is different, and the mechanism of trust and belief is different. After religious indoctrination, it took root, was convinced, and practiced. Some doctrines advocate dogma, but also talk about remembering, inscribed, and even require that it be dissolved in the blood and implemented in action. It can be said that the requirements are indeed deep, and for many people, they are inconsistent in words and deeds, saying one thing, and acting in another. At that time, the buzzword was called the honey-bellied sword. In particular, when you encounter your own things, you can't let go, you can't figure it out, and you can't get through it. No one is really convinced. If there is a god or a god on his head, as the religion says, who is always watching your words and deeds, and rewarding and punishing your words and deeds immediately or in the future, then it is very easy to achieve universal refuge. But God or gods just can't be seen or touched by you, and there is no one-to-one immediate correspondence between words and deeds. It's hard to be convincing with that. If it is difficult, you need to find the reason in your heart. What is the reason for the heart? The faith is not strong, not strong, and not strong. There are also many passages and repeated descriptions in the Bible of God's admonitions, which are repeatedly violated, and that God has gone to great lengths to win the trust of his people and to domesticate the hearts of his people. Various religions have also designed various rituals, what is the role of rituals? It is to strengthen faith and belief through a monotonous ritual repeated thousands of times. Wu Wei's reading of the Bible triggered further thinking, and he felt that our minds were too easy to slip away, and the concepts and beliefs that we had finally established were easily dissolved and washed away by some trivial matters.

Wu Wei thinks about the Chinese who are happy to be born, and this thinking puts forward a new perspective on the platform of showing the national character of ugly Chinese, wise Chinese, hardworking and brave Chinese, and ignorant Chinese. Whether this perspective can be established or not depends on two tests, one is whether there is an element of happiness in the national character of the Chinese. National character, whether good or bad, is first confronted with the question of whether it is a matter of fact. As a national character, it is not a characteristic that occasionally flashes in the behavior of a very small number of individuals, but from the perspective of time and space, it must have a wide and universal distribution, not only for the present generation, but also for people who lived in various eras before to different degrees. If there is, reveal it, explain it, refine it, and show it to the world. If it actually exists, when it is displayed, it will resonate with the same kind. As soon as Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" was published, many of his peers took their seats, which caused a strong response from the society. This shows that Mr. Lu Xun has made an outstanding display of national character. The second is that the national character has ecological adaptability, and it is natural to produce the problem of mutation, whether it is benign or malignant, of course, the purpose of display, the malignant reminds people to get rid of it, and the benign one must be carried forward and publicized. On the topic of Lesheng, according to the classic saying that everyone is very familiar with, labor cannot become a means of Lesheng, but a means of making a living. Lesheng seems to be far away from us. In the face of reality, the severe competition situation in the workplace, the huge and vulnerable groups that urgently need to provide social security - migrant workers who ask for wages, poor laid-off workers, farmers in backward areas, and students from poor families, the corruption of the powerful groups, thinking about it, either makes people nervous, depressed, painful, or makes people hate and indignant. Nowadays, there is also a popular atmosphere of looking for fun, and there is also an expression and tendency to pursue happiness. In the face of the general pressure to make a living, it may feel funny to talk about the topic of happy living, or it can make people feel difficult and heavy.

Wu Wei thought again that in daily use, there are too many things that should not be thought about and cannot be done. It's the mind that has fallen into a misunderstanding. It is difficult to avoid thinking about things that should not be thought about and things that should not be done, and how to convince the people. Wu Wei encountered some people who didn't think about things, so he patiently told them what to think. By turning what should be told to the contemporaries into daily routines, accumulating and expanding this kind of telling, and further aggregating the results of careful thinking, a new program of mental activity is formed.

In the human heart, it is like being infected with a virus, which restores the troubles and sufferings and regenerates them. Deleting is not a fundamental solution. From deleting the pain to how to dissolve the root cause of the pain in the heart and drive out the hidden virus in the heart? Ah Q fell into a dilemma of constant deletion pain. It looks like a new negation of Ah Q's method of spiritual victory is needed. Transcendence can only be achieved with a new negation. In order to reflect transcendence, Wu Wei still retains some of his previous positive evaluations of the Spiritual Victory Method and Ah Q. For some people, it is not easy to be able to skillfully use the Spiritual Victory Method. There is another reason for preserving it, which is to remind people that it is possible to ask questions from other perspectives about what has become a foregone conclusion, which may lead to new discoveries. For a long time, Wu Wei admired the Spiritual Victory Method. There is indeed a rational kernel in it, and now it seems that the method of spiritual victory also has limitations. Ah Q is at least not the highest performance of optimism and wisdom, the best carrier. Relying on the method of spiritual victory, the **will regenerate**, falling into a low-level cycle of deletion-regeneration-re-deletion-regeneration. In order to get rid of this low-level cycle, it is necessary to seek another way to transcend, and the mental activity program that has been prepared needs to be revised and upgraded.

The removal of ** mentality or pain requires the training of mental abilities, but the result may fall into another paradox, regardless of ethical constraints. Wu Wei repeatedly deliberated that if I am suffering or dissatisfied because of a certain wish and request that is not satisfied, deleting the positive meaning will help me to focus my time and energy on the positive thing. If I see others suffering and don't take it seriously, I reduce myself to the point where I don't even have the slightest compassion, let alone help. There are many times when people feel helpless and powerless. At that time, if you want to know whether there is room for maneuver and seek a turnaround, there is really no other way, and you can only return to nature in the end. You see others hurting your face, hurting your self-esteem, and feeling resentful. When encountering a problem, whether a person can stay awake, and even if he is sober, whether he has enough mental capacity to respond correctly and appropriately to the situation he is facing. We ordinary people react on the spot, if it is beneficial to ourselves, our mood and judgment will fall into a narrow vision, if we can treat it from the overall situation, from the perspective of right and wrong, it will be good.

Due to the fragility of human physical life, it is natural to seek deep inner stability, while the worldly orientation to satisfy the need for stability leads us to external goals, such as money, power, organization, honor, relationships, etc. External things can't withstand the washing of time and the test of time. Our life experience is that the things that were valued very much in the past have become very light or even worthless with the replacement of the value coordinates of time and space, and the things that used to feel very reliable now have no sense of stability. The dependence of the outside world is only temporary, and the ultimate support to achieve spiritual stability must be severed from the outside world, but this state is not enough to be explained and explained by words. You have to rely on your own personal experience.

Wu Wei, who was thinking about how to make people's hearts feel at ease, felt that it was extremely difficult to find a place to make his heart at ease, a supernatural phenomenon that was difficult to accurately describe in words appeared, and his heart seemed to be suddenly illuminated by something, and his brain felt a bang, and he felt that he had entered a state of extreme joy and peace that he had never had before, and any joy and happiness in the world would be inferior to it, and then he felt that he was free from the entanglement of external life goals, and his soul gained the freedom to stretch.

For Wu Wei, this strange experience, although it only appeared for a moment, changed the meaning of his life and his attitude towards life, and he felt that there was a significant purification and improvement in his heart. This strange experience helped him realize that all kinds of encounters and fates in life are opportunities to educate life, and realized the importance of understanding the nature of all things.

Wu Wei seems to be enlightened by super wisdom, no matter what kind of things he encounters, he can penetrate through it, and there is no sense of blockage in his soul. Wu Wei realized that there is a deep need in the human heart, and this need can only be satisfied by the feeling and experience generated by the heart. The code to find the peace of mind originally exists in one's own heart. Outer goals are only means and instruments to satisfy the deep needs of the heart, they are no longer a shackle to the heart. After this experience appeared, Wu Wei was still constantly reflecting on its meaning, which magically dissolved and transformed Wu Wei's long-standing dual thoughts of being Tao and being a person, and his very strong attachment was replaced by an idea of helping the world and saving people, as if he had reached the feeling of spiritual destiny, and unexpectedly entered a quiet and serene realm.

Wu has achieved that artistic conception for himself, and his soul has found a place to put it, but he does not know how to help others achieve such an artistic conception. Nowadays, the art of teaching success and the way of peace of mind can be described as a sea of books. According to the experience of the world, the art of success is easy to learn, but the way to peace of mind is hard to find. In the past, Wu Wei once divided knowledge into different levels, and accordingly divided people into noble and low. Nowadays, thinking about a place of peace of mind and finding a place of peace of mind is not knowledge, even if you tell someone how to have peace of mind, but he just doesn't think like that, it is difficult to have peace of mind, and knowledge is not effective in seeking a place of peace of mind. Religion is to put peace of mind in the Lord, and when you encounter the need for peace of mind, Lord, then your heart is at ease, and when you think of the Lord, you will have peace of mind. We Chinese sometimes shout God, is this heaven a substitute for the Lord? Wu Wei now puts the place of peace of mind on saving people, and saving people is also boundless, tangible and intangible, boundless and vast, everywhere and all the time, it is unfathomable and can be pondered, and the heart is placed in such a place, boundless and implemented to daily use. How to deal with this problem is a problem that requires wisdom to grasp. How to grasp the problem of peace of mind, Wu Wei felt that the difficulty was higher than the dilemma of Shuangwei encountered in the past, but he raised Shuangwei to a new artistic conception, beyond the dilemma of Shuangwei, it was very difficult to encounter specific problems at that stage, and it was difficult to deal with it. To replace the Lord and the Heavens with the tangible and specific problems and specific difficulties of the world, to be able to settle down and face and deal with them, not only needs the heart to help the world and save people, but also needs wisdom, and needs different wisdom. Human wisdom is also divided into different categories, which are suitable for dealing with and solving different problems.

Wu Wei's peace of mind wisdom cultivated is such a kind of wisdom. With such wisdom, it is still difficult to say whether Wu Wei has deciphered the code of life and ended the problems of life. If so, that's the end of our novel. We now don't know what kind of problems Wu Wei will encounter, where his thinking will end, and where his life path will stop.

Wu Wei continued his thinking about how to penetrate deep into people's spiritual activities and compile a super program so that it could gain a foothold in the competition with various ideas and ideas. He thought that Ah Q's spiritual victory method condensed a spirit, which seemed to be a gene, an antibody. How to deal with the frustration, humiliation, sadness, mental stress and mental pain that people have today. Lu Xun did not describe, nor did he know how Ah Q would use the Spiritual Victory Method to comfort himself in the face of the death of his parents and relatives, but it is not difficult to infer from the logic of his mental activities. Today's people can look for beneficial cultural factors in classical texts, and naturally they can also draw reasonable nourishment from appropriate character descriptions. Today's people can drive the time machine back to the distant past to meet with the ancients, and today's self can also take the time machine to catch up with the future people, just imagine the great gathering of the present people and the ancients, the present people and the future people, so as to round the time regression, time goes forward, and ordinary people will become the great man dream of the great man, isn't it happy.

After experiencing such a change, some people have expressed a strong desire to become a monk and have already contacted the monastery. Comparatively speaking, religion has created a highly stable structure that has not changed for thousands of years, and the Holy Father, Holy Son, and Holy Spirit of Christianity, and the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha of Buddhism, have vitality beyond that of families, businesses, and countries, and rely on the protection of strong imperial power to pray for the perpetuation of the country from generation to generation.
