9. Fitness and Mind Cultivation (I)
First of all, Fan Ren's most urgent need is physical and mental health.
Whether consciousness is my essence or my body is my essence is still undecided.
When it comes to cultivating immortals, people may roll their eyes at you. But if you mention fitness, everyone likes to hear about it. Cultivating the mind, you can't run away from psychology, scientific cultivation, outside of science, there are doubts for the time being.
Fitness is already a trend, once upon a time, meditation qigong, there were also glorious days, and the history is endless.
In the past, the literati despised manual labor, and felt that those who worked hard governed people, and those who worked hard governed others, had a superior life, wide robes and large sleeves, and regarded not engaging in physical labor as a sign of superiority and privilege.
Therefore, the ancients studied meditation, and the upper class, who were pampered all day long, regarded meditation as the best way to recuperate their body and mind. He even advocated half-day meditation and half-day reading.
The status of military generals is far lower than that of Wenchen, and only by cultivating to become a Confucian general can they get rid of their vulgar identity. Therefore, the military generals are good at writing, and the civil servants are disgusted with martial arts, which has become the trend.
Self-cultivation and self-cultivation are two sides of the same coin. The body is damaged and diseased, which will distort the mind, and the lack of human heart will definitely cause disease in the long run.
Wang Yangming founded the study of mind, and he is a master of mind cultivation, but his life expectancy is only 57 years old. Last words before dying: This heart is clear. Alas! Mood does not lead to physical health.
The ancients' neglect of physical exercise highlights the strength of modern people's scientific fitness.
The history of human civilization has been continuously explored in the field of psychology and philosophy, and many achievements have been made, and in the development of the body, the records of the sports meeting are also constantly refreshed.
The average life expectancy of a mortal is increasing year by year. But is this the progress brought about by the improvement of material living standards, and our realm surpasses that of the ancients? No, maybe it's going backwards.
The state of mind is in the six realms of mortals, and the mind is a material servant, which is manifested as being greatly influenced by the outside world.
For example, everyone else is giving up, I am also giving up, everyone else is shopping on Double 11, and I am also in a hurry to chop my hands. Now that meditation is popular, then follow along.
If we always follow the crowd, then we should not cultivate the Tao and just do business. If you want to cultivate your mind, you must first take it back and take it back to yourself. The heart must be in charge of itself.
The tide of society is always changing, but the avenue is constant.
In the tide of material civilization, no one is uninvolved. The values guided by public opinion are deeply implanted in people's minds.
Modern society is a commercial society, and the commodity economy is the mainstream. What do we see? What is the most popular fitness workout? Gym fitness card bodybuilding and body shaping. Because it's a great business, people are willing to promote it, and there are a lot of peripheral products. If everyone goes to meditate, will the merchants drink the northwest wind? In addition, by extension, why is the Dao Fa so complicated now? Why are there so many meditation exercises? Is it possible that it is to fool the apprentice? Everything has a reason.
Sitting quietly can be fitness, square dancing is incomparably cheerful - economists absolutely hate it, you can be happy by dancing a square dance, it has no effect on GDP at all, you see there is not even a water seller next to it, because no one buys it, and those who have come from the era of shortage can save it. Like young people, they are the main force of consumption. Rewarding the anchor can be tens of thousands, and it will be the world of bubble blowing in the future, there is no doubt about it.
Blowing and drying, the transformation of status, is after the popularization of the Internet.
A spark can start a prairie fire, relying on anything, relying on the wind to blow.
In the past, the world was full of slogans, and they were still illiterate, so the rectification movement, what is the whole? Don't go to Baguwen, but speak the vernacular that the people can understand.
Why do simplified Chinese characters replace traditional Chinese characters? This canceled the patent of the upper class to blow bubbles.
In the current world, it is a big problem for the ruling class, in the past, only they had the power to blow bubbles, and the ruling class could only move bricks, but now it is terrible, everyone is blowing bubbles.
The spiritual world did not evolve in one step, and the foreshadowing work of the previous material has been done for a long time.
In a world of material shortages, eating is the first priority, and the work of moving bricks is popular, while in the world of material surplus, spiritual life becomes dominant, entertainment is the first priority, and bubble blowing is popular.
It's a drop, I'm blowing bubbles right now, of course I'm going to blow it beautifully, colorful, or you'll pop me with a finger.
The spiritual world is higher than the material world, how high? Now it is fashionable to talk about dimensions, and that is the world of high dimensions.
The high-dimensional world is transcendent of time and space, so I can talk to ancient times for a while, and to the heavens for a while.
Ladies and gentlemen, don't take it as a derogatory term, the world has changed. I mean, of course it's important to dry, it's even more important to blow.
Because in addition to our material satisfaction, blowing is the greatest need of our spiritual world.
Isn't this something that happened recently, didn't the ancients also start talking about metaphysics after having enough food and clothing? And after the prosperity of the whole people, there will inevitably be a spiritual pursuit.
The truth of Buddhist youth is here, and now young people who like to move bricks, and if they don't move bricks, they have no food to eat, so they have to be Buddhist. Young people are the future of mankind, and the future of mankind is the spiritual world.
How this future world will evolve, no one knows. Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, but there is no network in history, and there has never been a similar scene.
There is a contradiction between the limited resources of the earth and the infinite desire for development of human beings
Of course, there is also the infinite universe, waiting for us to go to the sea of stars.
Human beings are working tirelessly to turn all the resources on earth into goods that can be enjoyed.
What if the resources are gone? Rest assured, lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and what we have built is a new world.
Gold and silver mountains represent the material world, lucid waters and green mountains, represent the spiritual world, do not doubt the progress of mankind.
This has led to a big change: in the past, we had to be pragmatic, not retreating; What now? Be pragmatic, not pragmatic.
The environment determines consciousness, which is also the theoretical basis for the evolution of emotional intelligence.
What is virtuality, that is, the virtual network world, you see what the people around you are doing, aren't they all looking down at their mobile phones? By the way, of course, you can't stop looking at your mobile phone, and the same goes for your computer, but try not to look down, there will be problems with your cervical spine after a long time.
If you look up at your phone, you can see the road ahead.
Hehe, there is no money to be found on the ground.
In the spiritual world, hope is the fire of the soul and the torch that illuminates the way forward.
As long as there is hope, the ideal country is no longer out of reach. This is the most inscrutable and indescribable safety boundary, the safety floor, once broken, depression and anxiety will surge.
Fitness and mind cultivation are for the sake of cultivation and cultivation. Cultivation and monasticism are also for the sake of fitness and mind cultivation. Taoism pays attention to the dual cultivation of life, which is really scientific. How does the mantra say: Only cultivating nature, not cultivating life, this is a major disease of cultivating immortals. If a person gets dizzy when he stands up after squatting, how can he meditate? If you have a bad heart, you can't be sedentary. There are also neurasthenias, who are already suspicious and suspicious, and then practice meditation and are not full of illusions? Therefore, physical fitness is the foundation of meditation.
Whether or not you can meditate should not be a problem.
Because meditation is something that can be encountered but not sought. If you want me to say, meditation is one of the most difficult behaviors to get into meditation. Because as soon as people do not move, they will calm down and meditate, and the imaginary ape is the most active.
If you think of meditation as practicing qigong, you don't have to, and it seems very different.
I prefer to think of meditation as a standing pile, the equivalent of sitting on a pile. In fact, the longer you sit, the deeper your mental training becomes. The so-called internal qi, meridians, and acupuncture points, there is no instrument that can detect them until now, which is very similar to human thoughts. Therefore, under the concentration of the mind, people perceive the nerve and blood, does it form the true flow of the human body?
Well, it doesn't matter if it has internal qi or not, don't worry about it, just let it be. Fitness is always good, and when the human body is meditating, it is actually the waist and neck that are struggling. And the meaning of waist and neck to people, needless to say. No matter how thick a person's arms are, they can't compare to the waist, and the muscles that are trained by bodybuilding are all like goods, and whether the strength is big enough depends on whether they can exert waist strength. Whether the mind can be flexible or not depends on the neck. The blood supply of people's heartbeat is to be active, and people think about problems to be still and the brain is the best, of course, many people also like to pace back and forth, or smoke and drink tea, to ensure that the brain is excited.
A strong neck is the source of wisdom, and a strong waist and abdomen is the source of strength.
The ancients mistakenly believed that the heart is a human thinking organ, and it is not all unreasonable, and the emotional fluctuations in the human mind can be immediately reflected in the heartbeat. Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, which is the cultivation of a big heart.
In this way, we finally have a little more advantage than the ancients, and modern fitness, there are many scientific studies that can help.
