367. The spiritual boundaries of the universe
When Dewar told Aoki about it, Aoki didn't take it to heart, mainly because he didn't take Situ too seriously at that time.
Although it can be seen from the ingenious mirror maze he set up and the dream that helped Cuckoo restart the pigpen cave that Situ's spiritual power and understanding of the spiritual world have reached an incredible level, what kind of person can a person who will go to the conservatory to play mirror games with girls?
How could World War II be a dream? It must be Situ playing tricks again!
But later, after Aoki returned to Wuzhong, too many things happened that were related to this guy named Situ.
First Mei Yiqiu got Situ's help in Copenhagen, and later Xia Xiaoxiao's appearance, toxoplasmosis and gray encephalovirus, the discovery of Laboratory 19, and Internet awareness, all of which seem to have been evidence that Situ grasped one step in advance.
Intuition tells Aoki that this is not a simple person. He re-examined the man, and even wanted to go to the villa again to study the mirrors, but unfortunately the mirrors had long since been removed.
Aoki guessed that Situ must have come to Wuzhong for something, and that the mirrors might have been some kind of experiment he was doing, and what happened later at the Conservatory might not have been what he expected.
But Aoki couldn't figure out what kind of logic it was like to have a dream in World War II, why would Situ say such nonsense, and even Dewar believed him so much?
Now after Su Huilan's reminder, Aoki suddenly felt that there might be some internal connection between the two. If the world is a dream, when did it slip into the dream? Could it have started with World War II?
Dewar also said that Situ was looking for relevant evidence, and Aoki really wanted to see what kind of evidence could be found for such a thing.
……
Petru's eyes widened on the side, and he looked at Aoki and Su Huilan like monsters.
These two must be insane! Especially this woman.
Is the world a dream?
In Petru's opinion, it was the most unfunny joke he had ever heard.
How boring the fuck is this to think of such a joke!
Although Petru didn't read much and didn't know philosophy, he was very concerned about the knowledge of dreams since he was a child because of his ability to dream lucidly. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many philosophers have thought of the idea that the world is a dream, but no one will dwell on this issue, and such thinking will only fall into the abyss of nihilism, and the dream will not collapse, and people's worldview and values will collapse first.
"What's the point of living if it's a dream! Look at me," Petru patted his strong chest with his hand, and his thick muscles rattled, "Am I real?" Look at the sea outside, the coastline in the distance, the white clouds in the sky, and the sun hanging in the sky...... You tell me these are dreams? ”
He suddenly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at his head, "If it's all a dream, is it that if I collapse myself with one shot now, I will wake up from another world?" I'll be able to go to heaven! ”
Speaking of going to heaven, Petrux was suddenly stunned. He remembered the pastor, who said that when a person dies, he goes to heaven.
Looking at Petru, who was a little anxious, Su Huilan just smiled slightly, and her face remained calm all the time.
Petru suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, like an orchid in the valley, which made people feel relieved at once, and all their troubles vanished.
Aoki also caught a little, faint, faint.
Petru calmed down: "I'm sorry ma'am, I was a little out of shape just now, I just wanted to say that this is different from my dream experience, although my mental power is far inferior to yours, but I am also a lucid dreamer." ”
Su Huilan asked, "Which aspect do you think is different?" ”
Petru said: "You see, our dreams all have boundaries, and the entire dream space is supported by spiritual power. But the universe is so big......"
"Yes, the universe is so big and boundless, who can support such a large space?" Su Huilan said, "But don't forget, our dreams actually have no boundary, the boundary is just a feeling. Do you recall your dreams carefully, is there a clear boundary? ”
Petru thought for a moment and shook his head.
Su Huilan said: "The boundaries of dreams are blurred and expandable, and the stronger the spiritual power, the larger the space, and the farther the boundary. If you think about it carefully, is our starry sky and the universe as we know it getting bigger and farther away according to certain rules as we explore? ”
"You mean......," Petru was shocked, "that the universe is only getting bigger and bigger because the human spirit has become stronger?" Are these things imaginary by man? ”
"No, not imagination, but creation!" Su Huilan emphasized.
Petru shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, the universe is observed through a telescope and is objectively real. Human beings have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, why did the universe become bigger after entering modern civilization? ”
Su Huilan corrected: "It's not that it's only getting bigger now, it's getting bigger all the time." Think of the number of people on Earth! The more people there are, the stronger the mental power. ”
Aoki, who had been listening, also felt that this was too nihilistic, and retorted, "If this is a dream, then where did the increased population come from?" Did we create it too? ”
Su Huilan glanced at him a little strangely: "Of course people are made by people and people. ”
"Uh......" Aoki wanted to say that he didn't mean that, but he held back the words.
He thinks that this problem should still be analyzed from the perspective of dream experience and mental power, scientists can only analyze the world through abstract mathematical and philosophical theories, but they are different, they are awakened and have a very direct dream experience. He said:
"The question is, we're all lucid dreamers, and if we live in a dream, how can we not feel anything at all? And even if it is an ordinary person, once you realize that you are dreaming in a dream, the dream will immediately collapse. But we've been talking about it here for so long, and our spatial structure is still very stable, and we don't even feel the slightest fluctuation. ”
Su Huilan said: "The premise of awakening is strong spiritual power. Although the spiritual power of ordinary people is not worth mentioning in your eyes, if the whole world is dreaming the same dream, and the spiritual power of seven billion people is superimposed to create a world, do you think you can shake the stability of this space? ”
Hearing this, Aoki didn't feel a little numb in his scalp. Although Aoki had similar thoughts in the past, he didn't think about it deeply, and now as soon as Su Huilan said it, he felt a little scary.
The spiritual power of seven billion people is indeed unshakable.
As the old saying goes, sometimes it's not just a lie, and when the brain believes something, it's likely that it will become true.
Moreover, in this world, not only humans have consciousness and spiritual power, but also animals, and Coal Boss and Tranquility are the best proof of this. At the beginning, the dream designed by Kitano Masatake in the pigpen cave in southern Yunnan could last for decades, and it also relied on the existence of animals that kept coming and going in the dark river below.
As for whether plants and microorganisms have mental powers, it has not yet been confirmed, and Aoki has never tried to verify whether a tree has mental fluctuations or dreams.
In this way, even if you only add the animals with neuronal structures, the number is far more than seven billion. It would be terrible if there really was such a huge group reality dream!
