Volume 1 The Real World Chapter 8 Preaching in a Dream
Kong Wen glanced up at Cheng Shansheng and said, "You don't have to speculate, you will understand after listening to me." ”
Can he know what I'm thinking? Cheng Shansheng was shocked in his heart, and looked at Kongwen curiously, Kongwen glanced at him meaningfully, Cheng Shansheng immediately retracted his mind and stopped thinking nonsense.
As Master Kongwen narrated, the world of a cultivator slowly appeared in front of Cheng Shansheng's eyes.
At first, people only focused on the cultivation of the body, obsessed with the abilities of gods and demons, and the method of immortality and immortality, but when the era of the end of the Dharma came, the body was completely unable to practice, and people discovered that the human brain also has infinite mysteries, even more magical than the body.
Before finding the cultivation method of the brain, the human brain development degree did not even exceed 5%, of course, this is also due to the physical limitations, with the continuous exploration and practice of the predecessors of the past generations, and finally found a medium to connect with the brain, that is, "dreams".
In dreams, people can easily do anything, do anything, whether you can or will not in real life, you can easily come to it in your dreams.
The bold idea of "how to use the abilities in dreams and oneself" was proposed, and with continuous research, people gradually figured out the relationship between the brain, dreams, and body.
When this theory was proposed, the idea of brain development quickly attracted opposition from people, and many examples were cited: Why do people who sometimes don't know each other seem to know each other in places they have never been? Why do you suddenly remember something that you have forgotten all about a long time ago? Why do you sometimes make up nonsense only to find out that it is true? Or even sometimes people or things that are fabricated out of thin air in dreams appear in the real world? Why do we always display all kinds of magical powers when we dream? Why can I communicate with people of all races in my dreams?
There is only one explanation for all these signs, that is, the people or things that people have seen since birth are hidden in your mind, and they have never forgotten what you are learning or not learning, as long as you have heard and seen, your brain will learn one step ahead of you, whether you understand or not, your brain can understand... It is precisely because of this that people can do everything in their dreams, so the degree of brain development is just a paradox, and the truth is: the body cannot contain the power of the brain, if the brain is compared to a universe, then the body is a planet in this universe, only this planet is getting stronger and stronger, in order to get closer and closer to the universe, until it becomes a universe of its own.
So how do we strengthen our bodies so that we can accommodate more of the power of our brains? This is where we come to dreams, for people, the brain is an inexhaustible treasure trove, and dreams are the way to this treasure trove, but this road is not stable, and there is more than one.
Everyone has countless dreams every day, but very few of them can be remembered by us, or even none of them, and we do not know the actual content of the dream, we can only infer it from the image of the dream afterwards, of course, we do not know that we deduce it.
If you can't even find your way, how can you get the treasure?
So people began to study how to stabilize dreams, and remember dreams, and soon people found that there is such a type of people, they can stay awake in their sleep, although the time to keep it is not long, it is particularly easy to stop sleep, but in this state of contact with the knowledge, after waking up, they will not forget, this major discovery has laid the foundation of our dream hunter's practice...
Cheng Shansheng could still understand the previous development history, but staying awake in his sleep made him a little incomprehensible, so he asked out loud: "Master, I have a question!" How can this stay awake in a dream, can it be said that we have two consciousnesses? ”
Master Kongwen thought for a moment and said: "You can understand it this way, the brain is a computer with high intelligence, and it takes energy to make it run at high speed, and you, as a person who uses this computer, naturally have to provide energy to it, but your body has a limit, and it can't support it to run all the time, so every day you have to take the necessary rest to make up for the loss, although there is no control from you, but the brain can't be shut down, doesn't it mean that you are dead?" So it can only fix the loopholes and clean up some garbage... After all, you and the brain are still one, and you can still perceive these behaviors when they are carrying out them, but in order not to increase the burden on you and allow you to better replenish the loss, although these behaviors do not consume much energy, the brain still chooses to let you forget, which is 'dreaming'. ”
After seeing Cheng Shansheng showing a thoughtful look, Kong Wen continued: "In a certain situation, some brains may not like this feeling of doing things and not being known, so they have the power to wake up in a dream, and clearly know what the brain is doing. People who are born with defects... will have such consequences. ”
And those who can withstand it have different developments, and some people choose to use this ability for the benefit of society, that is, those well-known scientists and many historical celebrities; There is also a group of people who want to know where the limit of this ability is, that is, we are a group of people, we call ourselves 'dream hunters', and this phenomenon is called 'dream awakening', which is also the first cultivation state of our dream hunters. ”
Through systematic practice, you can maintain the state of 'awakening' for a long time, so that you can decide when you want to wake up at will, without being affected by other factors, and this process is the second state of 'awakening dreams'.
After waking up from the dream, you can start to try to change the established route of the dream, this behavior is equivalent to you still want to play with the computer when you are resting, this has violated the rules, the brain will drive you out of the dream, at this time we practice how not to be driven out by the brain, this process is the third realm 'dream control'.
Although controlling dreams can change the established route in the dream, it is essentially playing tricks in the rules, that is to say, you can only play the content provided to you by the brain, even if you play hard, you can't get out of this rule, which is equivalent to being arranged, if you want to rest in the body at the same time, you can also play the computer as usual, you can only try to create a dream, create a dream you want to do, of course, this behavior will also be driven away by the brain, the loopholes are not repaired, the garbage is not cleaned up, and the brain carries more and more, Once the body can't bear it, it will be vegetative and confused; At worst, he dies on the spot, which is the fourth realm of 'dreaming'.
"Let's tell you about these four realms first, there are still a few realms for you now, it's still too far away, let's cultivate to the dream realm first, and then talk about it, the dream realm will bring you very little improvement, because you can't keep the dream for a long time, it's too late to get the treasure in the treasure house, it's better to wake up from the dream, what knowledge do you come into contact with in the dream, in reality you will learn a certain kind of knowledge correspondingly, for example, in the dream you are talking to a foreigner, and you can also talk to a foreigner after waking up, and controlling the dream is a transitional period, When you get to the dream world, you can dream whatever you want, and you can learn whatever you want! Kongwen gave Cheng Shansheng a brief introduction to what abilities the four realms have.
"Can you learn anything?"
"The learning ability of the brain is based on the memory of the eye, before the dream, you can only passively acquire knowledge, these knowledge are the things you have been exposed to since birth, but you have no way to use it, only through the dream method, can the brain eat through the knowledge mastery, so we call the dream hunter." When Kongwen said the three words Dream Hunter, especially the word Hunter, his tone was a little heavier.
"In other words, we have to reach the dream realm to be regarded as a real cultivator, right?"
"The mystery of the realm of dreaming lies in the word 'creation', both the theory of creation and creation, if you insist on saying that the practice starts from it, there is no problem, but if you really want to be more true, crossing the four realms is the real practice, the first three realms are the key, the dream realm is the door, only when you open the door you know what the world is like."
Hearing this, Cheng Shansheng instantly thought of what Guangwen said to himself yesterday: My master, I can give you this key to open the door of truth.
In order to confirm the conjecture in his heart, Cheng Shansheng asked Chao Kongwen: "Listening to the master's words, can I understand that in addition to the dream realm, the cultivation of the other realms is not very simple?" ”
"It's easy to say, it's hard to say, it all depends on chance." Speaking of this, Master Kongwen looked at Cheng Shansheng's eyes, revealing a hint of depth, and said an ambiguous word.
The main drama is coming! Cheng Shansheng said secretly, but there was a blank look on his face, and he asked curiously: "What is this chance?" ”
Kong Wen glanced at Cheng Shansheng deeply, as if he could see through what he was thinking, and said solemnly: "As long as you become a disciple of my Buddhism, with the help of my Buddhism inheritance, all this will naturally come naturally." ”
"I don't know what the conditions are for becoming a disciple of Buddhism?"
"There are two conditions: first, after the formal apprenticeship, and meditate with me in the monastery for two years, after cutting off the impure roots, you can open your eyes for you, open the door to truth, and become a real dream hunter; 2. After becoming a dream hunter, you must not use your ability to do things that harm others and benefit yourself. ”
"How can it be self-interested without harming others?"
"Everything has its own established track, when you don't become a dream hunter, you have no way to reverse the trajectory of other people's lives, but when you become a dream hunter, you have the power to ascend to the sky and the power to influence others, what others have to work hard for a long time to obtain, you have at your fingertips, which invisibly changes the track of others, and the karma generated in this situation can be recovered, but if you do it deliberately, the karma caused will make you irreversible, so become my disciple, In order for you to go further in the future, these two points must be met. ”
