Chapter 42 - Faith and Will
Kong Ling saw Professor Liu Feng's video entitled "The Level of Consciousness Awakened by Education" in the WeChat subscription account "Exploring Deep Memory", in which Professor Liu Feng integrates cutting-edge science such as quantum mechanics with traditional Chinese philosophy and Buddhist theory, and details how educators can awaken the educated by awakening their own inner wisdom.
He said that every life is full and full, and the essence of education is to awaken the wisdom of students' self-fulfillment. To be an awakened educator is to awaken one's own inner wisdom and be a happy and comfortable educator, so that it is possible to awaken the inner wisdom of students and be a happy and comfortable life experiencer.
The most important thing in life is to improve our own dimension, which in layman's terms, is to enhance the educator's own freedom of consciousness. In the video, Professor Liu Feng has a metaphor of imagery, he said, one-dimensional is a two-dimensional projection, two-dimensional is a three-dimensional projection, three-dimensional is a four-dimensional projection, and so on, to solve the problem of three-dimensional space for human existence, it is important to raise human consciousness to the height of four dimensions.
For example, an object in three-dimensional space is reflected in a two-dimensional plane, and the projection source determines the projection, and when the projection source changes, the projection changes immediately.
Immediately afterwards, when Kong Ling went to search for Professor Liu Feng's related videos, he found the video of the "Life" interview program brought by Liang Dong, the former host of Phoenix Satellite TV, in which Professor Liu Feng once again vividly introduced the knowledge of dimensions to the audience. After watching these two videos, Kong Ling felt that he seemed to have refreshed his entire outlook on life, worldview, values, and religion......
Depending on the dimension of looking at the world, your degree of cognition and freedom will be different, that is to say, the freedom of life comes from the improvement of the dimension of consciousness.
In many religions, there are many ways to practice, and most of the things that cultivation makes us do are only three words: get rid of distracting thoughts. For example, yoga in India, meditation in Zen Buddhism...... Through practice, you take away your three-dimensional aspects layer by layer, and when you remove the last three-dimensional aspect you have four-dimensional wisdom, and we can attain a higher level of wisdom "intuition."
First of all, let's briefly popularize the knowledge of dimensions:
Zero-dimensional
Let's start with one point. This point has no size and no dimension. It is just an imaginary point that marks a position, it has nothing, space and time do not exist. This is the zero dimension.
One-dimensional space
There is already a point in the zero dimension, and we draw another point, with a line connecting the two points. Dangdang! One Dimensional Space was born! We create space!
One-dimensional space has only length, not width and depth.
Two-dimensional space
We have a line, that is, we have a one-dimensional space. How do I upgrade to 2D? It's very simple, draw another line through the original line, and then you have a two-dimensional space, where objects have width and length, but no depth.
Draw a rectangle on paper, and inside the rectangle is a two-dimensional space.
In order to facilitate the understanding of higher-dimensional space later, we use two intersecting line segments to represent the two-dimensional space. Now let's imagine creatures in a two-dimensional world. Because two-dimensional space has no depth (which can also be understood as thickness), only length and width, we can understand it as a "paper man", just like the portrait in the playing card K.Q.J.
Because of the limitations of dimensions, two-dimensional creatures can only see two-dimensional shapes. If you ask it to look at a three-dimensional sphere, then all it can see is the section of the sphere, which is a circle.
Three-dimensional space
One-dimensional number axis, two-dimensional plane, three-dimensional three-dimensional, this is our common knowledge in junior high school. Human beings, on the other hand, are three-dimensional creatures living in a four-dimensional space.
Three-dimensional space has length, width, and height.
Suppose we have a newspaper with an ant on it, and let's think of Ant King as a "two-dimensional creature". We do two-dimensional movement on the paper, and if we want him to climb from one side of the paper to the other, Ant needs to walk through the whole paper.
But what if we roll this piece of paper up? Become a cylinder, a three-dimensional object. At this time, Ant Jun only needs to walk through the position of the seam and arrive at his destination. (That's right!) This is the legendary wormhole) In other words, bending the two-dimensional space gives you the three-dimensional space.
The ants disappear from point A and point B appears: curling creates a new dimension!
Okay, let's start to get into the brain-burning stage.
Four-dimensional space
Four dimensions is one more dimension than three dimensions, and it is time!
Imagine that there is a me on the left who was 1 minute ago, and on the right there is me now, and I see these "two I's" as two dots, and the line that connects them, it is the line in the four-dimensional space. Thus, the four-dimensional space appeared!
Just as mentioned above, two-dimensional beings can only see cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, so we, as three-dimensional creatures, can only see cross-sections of four-dimensional space. So we can't see the past, we can't see the future, we can only see the world in the here and now.
However, four-dimensional beings can see the future, but cannot change it. Just like "Journey to the West 3", Zixia saw the ending through the moonlight treasure box, but she couldn't change the ending.
There are also analogies of people's images: one-dimensional space is a plant, and it can't see ants; The two-dimensional space is an ant, which cannot see humans; The three-dimensional space is human, and people can't see ghosts; The four-dimensional space is a ghost, and a ghost can see people, but it cannot change back into a person to change the past and the future...... As for the knowledge of the rest of the dimensions, if you are interested, you can learn about it by yourself, and I will not go into detail here.
After watching Professor Liu Feng's video, it triggered a lot of thoughts from Kong Ling: if it is true that as Buddhism says, human beings are born to be complete and sufficient, then the solution to all the dilemmas of life must also be within you, and there is no need to seek external at all, the most important thing is to improve your own dimension, which can also be said to improve the freedom of self-awareness, that is, the ultimate way to solve problems and get rid of difficulties.
Professor Liu Feng summed up four words: "faith, willingness, action, and proof", the meaning of the four words: faith: believe that you are fully satisfied; Wish, make a big wish, can also be said to be the goal of action; Action, action to achieve what you want; Enlightenment, obtained by practice. This kind of life is to connect with the high-dimensional wisdom and guide one's own life, and the process of life is a process of exploring the meaning of life, until returning to the true self and returning to the high-dimensional state.
In terms of the economic difficulties encountered by Kong Ling and Li Sheng, they must first get a large amount of wealth before they can get out of the predicament, so how did this large amount of wealth come from?
According to Mr. Liu Feng's concept, first of all, the two of them have to believe that they are born to be full and satisfied, and the reality is not the lack of money as reflected in reality, and the reason why there are huge debts like in reality must be caused by their inner sense of deprivation, so the inner sense of deprivation is the source of projection, which causes the economic predicament of their real state. Then, if they want to change the economic predicament of reality, they need to change the projection source, that is, change the inner sense of want. How to change the inner feeling of want, is to believe that you are full.
The second step is to make a big wish, which is to make a big wish that is higher than just getting out of financial difficulties, such as believing that you can eventually get out of financial difficulties, and that getting out of economic difficulties is just a necessary way to another, more ambitious aspiration or goal. For example, after paying off all the debts, one will devote one's life's energy, time and wealth to serving the sentient beings in the world who are still in despair, and only by making this great wish can one connect to the higher dimensional wisdom, and after having faith and goals, one will unswervingly act according to the guidance of the higher dimensional wisdom, and then logically realize that one will continue to realize what he wishes to achieve in order to verify all this. That's the way to solve the problem. If you understand the four words of faith and will, the problem will be solved by itself.
