Completion & Safety (M)
Fan Ren, are you afraid of death?
The head is off, the bowl is scarred, and Lao Tzu is a good man again twenty years later - it's a pity that no one believes this set now.
Only by completely getting rid of the confusion of death can people gain absolute security, which will be discussed in detail in the last chapter [Death and Game].
To put it simply:
One is to live in the moment; One is to be in harmony with the Word.
Living in the present can avoid distant uneasiness, the future is unknown, the present is known.
In harmony with the Tao, when you try to integrate into society and this world, you will die and live without dying.
Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night.
Because of penetration, the mystery of life in the universe is itself a product of heaven and earth, and consciousness is an illusory bubble, but dust to dust and earth to earth.
The way of life in the world is changeable, but the way of heaven remains unchanged, and the way of heaven is the unity of heaven and man.
Where is the root of unhappiness, is it really because of how much is lost? Or can't you ask for it? The root cause of this is the inner turmoil.
Where is the source of happiness, and is it really because of what is gained? Or did you keep it and didn't lose it? Even if it's an entertaining game, it's a sense of security.
The saint only eats his mother, and lowers the sense of security after birth to the point that he can have something to eat, so as to achieve the greatest freedom in his heart and not be shaken by external things.
You have to earn 1 million, 10 million, 100 million----, or you have to make a living, you have to make a living----,. The threshold for a sense of security is different, but the feeling is the same.
Lowering the safety threshold is more conducive to a peaceful mind, a calm mind, and an invincible position.
Having something to eat and living is our invincible position.
Pampered and humiliated.
When you know for sure that you are safe, what kind of insult can make you feel unbalanced? When you realize that death is the way of heaven, what are you afraid of?
Easier said than done.
There are two sides to everything, when you put yourself down, will you not want to forge ahead?
Retreat.
The Buddha said: Everything is self-sufficient, and there is no need for anything else.
When people are carefree, it is the best state, it is to be in meditation. On the contrary, if you are worried, you tend to shrink back and be timid.
Being safe is not the same as being content with the status quo. Enterprising is the correct solution to conform to the way of heaven, but we must not forget the original intention.
Born in sorrow and dying in peace just proves the importance of security.
One can never attain absolute security and a sense of fulfillment. Don't forget, people judge whether it's safe or not through aesthetics. Embodying the law of imperfect design.
Things are strong and old, prosperity and decline, yin and yang change each other, things must be reversed, and defects are the one that escapes, which triggers the vitality of life.
Security includes all kinds of events at the far end and near end, and the so-called people have no long-term worries and near-term worries.
There are also different plans for completion in the short term and long term.
Some people in life are very planned, and some people are happy with what happens, the former is easy to pile up the anxiety of completion, and the latter is tired of passively completing and is depressed. It's not easy to keep a good rhythm.
The wiser and the stronger, the more complete the plan, and the sage does nothing.
The saint is fearless and has a sense of security, so he can do nothing, so he can do nothing.
What is the meaning of life after a person can live forever? This is a deeper philosophical reflection.
Life cannot be eternal, death is. If people always focus on the purpose of life, then the end of life is death, which is also the complete completion of life.
A sense of security is built on a sense of accomplishment, which leads to high expectations of accomplishing something.
The vast majority of people have a tragic life, which is determined by the fate of death, until you understand the sense of completion, you will not be able to avoid this fate.
I couldn't get any of the things I wanted; What I get is what I'm not rare. Why? Because our focus is always on the next finish.
Safety and completeness, pain and pleasure are always the sticks and carrots that God drives humanity to.
Safety is God's spur. And a sense of completion is God's reward. People can't live in the moment because there are too many things waiting in line to be done.
* The fifth rule of God's Law of Creation: Reward for completion.
A sense of completion is a feeling that is independent of what was planned, and people are not easily aware of it. For example, if you set a small goal and want to earn 100 million, even if you earn 99999999, you will still be uncomfortable because the thing is not completed.
Whether a thing succeeds or fails, as long as it is completed, there will be a completion reward, which is an additional sense of completion compensation.
There's a magical sense of completion.
When you take a plane or train, you will feel a different sense of accomplishment and security than usual. That is, the time and space in trains and airplanes are determined, and the passengers are passively limited to a special time and space.
You can't accomplish anything but sit there.
When the plane lands and the train arrives, it's a sure thing to be done, and you don't have to worry about it, and the certainty of completion will always give people a sense of security.
Even if it is a good thing, if it is delayed and not completed, the torment will be experienced.
Even death row inmates can feel a sense of relief after their verdict.
Then a person's life is made up of a series of big and small things. People have an instinctive urge to get something done as quickly as possible. It is a common human disease to focus only on the result in everything.
In order to be rewarded for completion, humans will ignore the beautiful process like an addict.
Let's take a look at Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit in Journey to the West:
The walker said: "Needless to say, the brothers are one family. And the three of them took each of the three fruits. When the eight precepts eat the intestines are big and the mouth is big, one is when he hears the boy eating, he feels that the worm is arching, but he only saw the fruit, took it, opened his mouth, and swallowed it with a hub, but he looked at Hu Lai with white eyes, and said to the walker and the sand monk: "What are you two eating?" Sha Seng said: "Ginseng fruit." Bajie said, "What does it taste like?" The walker said: "Wujing, don't pay attention to him!" You ate it first, and then who did you ask? Bajie said: "Brother, you are busy eating, not like you chewing and swallowing carefully, and taste some tastes." I didn't know if there was a nuclear or not, so I swallowed it. Brother, be thorough. I've mobilized my gluttonous worm, and I'm going to get another one, and the old pig will eat it carefully. ”
In the past 10,000 years, only 30 have been born, and after eating the ginseng fruit that can live forever, Zhu Bajie has not read our book and does not understand the sense of completion, so he didn't even taste the taste and went down.
There is also the opposite side of rushing to finish, which is procrastination. Even sometimes very important things can't be postponed until the last day. This situation does not mean that you don't want to finish, but that you lack the confidence to finish. Use constant procrastination to avoid penalties ----- setbacks and failures that can't be done smoothly.
And all the frustration will sneak into your primordial spirit and eventually turn into anxiety.
Impatience is another manifestation of poor completion, impatience and procrastination, this rhythm is to go to the next chapter of depression and anxiety in advance.
People will be inert when it comes to some difficult work, but the more difficult things are, the greater the reward for completing them. But there are also some troublesome things, there are no benefits but they have to be done, and the motivation is not too high, which needs to be improved and fully understand the useless use.
A good plan cannot be completed, which indicates that the motivation to complete it is insufficient, and many big things are indeed too difficult to complete, how can they be persistent?
The solution is to set different stage goals, so that each time you complete a small goal, you can get a reward for the sense of completion. For example, this book, you are very boring to read, because there is no story, and I write it very hard, if it is not completed in sections, where can I make a book. Some online writers can write millions of words, and they are all miracles that are updated every day and rewarded for their rewards.
But this also shows that I haven't gotten rid of the control of the sense of completion.
People use bananas to train monkeys.
God trains people with a sense of accomplishment for a lifetime.
Poor human beings, rushing all their lives, rushing by, missed how much good things they missed.
You don't believe it? You must not pass by this paragraph at a glance and rush to finish.
Fan Ren, bet, aren't you thinking about reading this article quickly?
Do you dare to say otherwise?
This is a life-changing idea, but of course it's just possible, and maybe you don't know it.
Since I guess so, it's because people are anxious to get results.
Because there is God's reward in the result.
If you think it's not just about doing things in a hurry, yes, that's right, but I'm in a hurry, and you don't get the true meaning of a sense of completion.
