Chapter 24: The Boundaries of Thinking
Boundary, many times refers to the frontier, the territory, but through unremitting efforts, people found that the original territory has no boundary, the earth is round, the head is the tail, the tail is the head, and then the boundary began to be used to describe the spiritual boundary, or the character also has the meaning of the bottom line.
But in the soul of human thinking, many people will think that there is no limit to thinking, there can be infinite thinking, but the boundary of thinking exists, just like the world we know, there is a place that we can know and understand, but can never touch, this kind of place is called a boundary.
The Creator is very amazing but also very simple, it just draws a circle in the universe, everything from the constellation of the galaxy to the small dust cells, all of which follow this trajectory, the head is the tail and the tail is the head, boundless and close at hand.
Where are the boundaries of thinking? Right in our daily lives,
First: time!
If time exists or does not exist, what we think of as time is the longevity of the physical body as a link in the chain of species, or in the form of written words, then if time really exists, then where does it begin and where will it end?
All physical time is just a replica of the human mind, that is to say, time does not exist, but it also exists, this is the first boundary of thinking, we can see the question, we can say it clearly, we can express it, but we will never have an answer. This is the boundary of thinking, it is like a programme, so that everything in the program can only be trapped in it, unable to extricate itself!
Second: size!
This thing is also the thing that we humans classify, with comparison, there is a difference between size, as small as dust, as large as the cosmic galaxy, boundless, no one has ever looked for the real end of the universe, but no one has ever seen the smallest bottom, magnify a thing ten times, ten thousand times, ten million times, 100 million times, there is no smallest, only the size of the density, a thing that you think is the hardest thing in the world, the hardest weapon, magnify it infinitely countless times, You will eventually see the empty space inside this object, and you will eventually be able to penetrate it with smaller specimens of dust.
We only know that there is a size, we only know how to distinguish the size, but we never know how big the limit is, how small the limit is, so the size does not exist at all, but it exists, we can know, but there is never an answer!
Third: Numbers!
In daily life, one will be used as the smallest unit, but sometimes one will be divided into two halves, so what is half of half, and what is half of half, and so on, it is an infinite loop, increasing upward, and there is no end, all sometimes some scientists will say that numbers represent all the secrets of the universe, and there is a basis, and it is this trajectory!
Not only the boundaries of thinking, but also in real life, the two mirrors overlap, and you can't see the bottom.
When we were very young, we liked to watch children compare there, or two, or three or five in groups, comparing and comparing, comparing and comparing in the end, there is no result, but the last sentence is nothing more than that there are countless so-and-so in my family, countless what, infinitely big something, many times we will laugh and pass by, thinking how childish and ridiculous the words of children are, but no one has ever thought about it, the answer to this question, not to say that it is a child, even a saint can not answer it, this kind of thinking boundary, It is a place that all human beings cannot reach and break through, how big is the biggest, and how much is the most? The question of having no limits creates the boundaries of our thinking that are limitless.
Limits and limitlessness coexist!
Many times in life, we will hate a kind of person, this kind of person is called a bar spirit, they always like to carry, annoying, dislike, but there are many people who have seriously thought about their problem ideas, switching between truth and falsehood, rotating between light and dark, and impacting between the limit and the limitless.
Because we know that this is a question with no answer, so we default to ignore, to abandon, but never seriously think, our thinking boundaries are here, constantly trying to impact, constantly trying to break through, but the sad thing is that we can only know, can only understand this rule, but never break through.
Since ancient times, people who can understand that no limit is the limit can be called a saint, they know that there is no size, no limit, there is no opposition of everything, the opposition and the opposition are symbiotic together, and the pattern of the Great Dao is so single but unreasonably complex, so the holy realm is called one, because all the operating rules are such contradictory rules.
He knows he doesn't know, he understands more because he understands and he understands less.
The limit of his thinking is that he knows that his thinking cannot break through the limit of limitlessness!
Human beings can reach the highest state is just like this, the saints can see through it is nothing more than that, although they know, although they understand, although they will abide by it, but they can never get rid of it, they can't break through, this kind of reincarnation of the rules of operation is not at all human beings can break through, the innate thinking limit, not the acquired can be changed, this may be the biggest difference between man and God, only God can know what is outside the boundary, only God will know what kind of sky is outside the limit!
Even when human beings complacently think that technology and technology are developing rapidly, and think that they are omnipotent, they are only operating within the rules, but they can never break the rules, and that is not something that can be broken through with weapons or high technology. So one can be fearless, but not fearless! Revere the shackles of heaven and earth that we cannot break through!
Therefore, many sages and predecessors found that the ultimate limit is no limit, and the unknowable thinking boundary that can never be broken through can only live in this contradictory and overlapping mode of operation, the most unclear time is time itself, and the most difficult to break through thinking is thinking itself.
Is there an absolute in the world? No absolutes? Is there absolutely no absolute? Still there is no absolute! The symbiosis of contradiction is the limit of thinking!
The so-called escape from the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and escaping from the various sages of reincarnation seems so unfathomable!
But I have never admitted that anyone can really break through the limits of this kind of thinking and find the real answer, and in the end, it is theology!
If someone can break through the limits of this kind of thinking, then it will definitely cross the entire universe and break through the holy realm to enter the realm of the gods!
