Chapter 34: Stages
The stage of Taoist cultivation needs to go through the following periods......
1. Cultivation and foundation building stage:
At this stage, you can see all kinds of signs of the cultivator, casting the foundation of the body, the development of a glowing lotus-shaped object in the dantian position in the body, and the charm can show different phases (such as flight, fire, explosion), praying for blessings and disasters, driving away diseases and saving people.
Building a foundation is the foundation of the avenue, and it has a huge impact on your future achievements. There are good and bad foundations, and the difference is only the understanding of the avenue.
Different levels of understanding of all things in heaven and earth have created different foundations. In addition, depending on the rules that each person understands, the foundation is not the same.
For example, if your understanding of time and space is far beyond that of ordinary people, then your foundation building attribute is "time and space"!
Cultivators at this stage will have various functional differences according to the different attributes of foundation building, such as the "space shuttle" of the "time and space" base to capture time (of course, it is difficult to achieve physical travel, here refers to the consciousness of the foundation building period)
2. Tianyan opening stage:
At this stage, you can see what mortals can't see, break through the red dust, and become extraordinary. Enlightenment is enlightenment, which means enlightenment. Those who have attained this state will have a different understanding of everything in the world.
There is a saying: "Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water". The watershed between geniuses and mortals, enlightenment is also called enlightenment, and the specific amount of improvement of understanding often varies. But those who can succeed in enlightenment gain the right to freedom of life (liberation from the heavenly path and attain "detachment").
The ancients often said that "fifty and know the destiny of heaven, fifty heaven, and people escape one" refers to the person who cultivates the truth, and generally can cut off the line of manipulating himself at the age of 50 or so, and come to a non-linear world. As for the understanding of the great perfection number of "fifty", it may be "knowing the destiny of heaven", that is, the signal of the success of enlightenment.
3. Repair for the integration stage:
When the body and cultivation begin to be combined, it is the stage of personal ability improvement. The lotus seeds grow and bloom, and the lotus flowers clearly grow in the dantian.
The integration of various senses requires a relatively high level of comprehension and brain speed, and the integration process is also different due to the different levels of comprehension of each person. The key is to "blend the senses." "The integration of body and spirit", "mind and mind", and "essence and consciousness" is not only the "consciousness" of you and me, but also the "feeling", "matter" and "spirit".
The most prominent ability of a cultivator in this realm is to "merge all things", to understand the smallness and greatness of this world through learning and innate instinct, and finally to make a decision, change or not change.
Shundao is "fusion", and it is also a kind of cultivation, ranking in the forefront of the three thousand avenues, second only to "reincarnation" and "reincarnation".
4. Cultivating palpitations:
In the first dangerous stage of cultivation, the mind throbbed. The lotus flower begins to produce a unique heart, and the leap of the two hearts and the confusion of the true meaning are the characteristics of the palpitation period.
Although the confusion of the true meaning and the beating of the two hearts are very refreshing and full of temptation, as long as you pass the temptation of this realm and reach the realm of the heart like stopping water, you will find that instead of bursting out of thought, it is better to be good like water and cultivate self-cultivation, which is also the requirement of this heaven and earth.
When you come to this realm, you will have more surging emotions and a more fiery heart. "The heart wants to move but the god does not stop, the body wants to act and knows not to distinguish, the soul wants to come out but the soul does not shed" Every person who cultivates the truth in the palpitation period is a book that interprets the joys and sorrows of the world, this is the realm of life, this is also the catharsis of emotions, this is palpitations!
5. Jindan Stable Stage:
This is the final stage of entering the real cultivation, and the charms and so on are already quite afraid of the magic effect, and can transform the body, show thousands of illusions, and the power of spells and other spells will soar and stay forever. There is a fundamental difference from the martial arts world at the beginning.
Cultivating life, the heart is like water. Stable fluctuations are the prerequisite for stepping into the Jindan period. The monks who have reached this realm are enough to be called powerful Jindan real people, who can already construct mental projections, false memories in the sea of knowledge, and reach a new level of understanding of all things in heaven and earth.
By the way, the longevity of monks in this realm will increase significantly. The ancients said that "Jindan Avenue" refers to a perfect Tao. There are thirty-three heavens, and Dan has three colors: "golden light shines in the world, purple light is dense, and there are thousands of colorless".
Anyone who seeks the pill is in a complete state of mind, and what the cultivators in the Jindan period have is not only a perfect state of mind, but also a brilliant golden pill that is "not afraid of the turbidity of the world".
6. Yuan Infant Lotus Stage:
Moved by the heart, the Yuan Infant has gradually transformed into a true lotus, and when he can really enter the hall of cultivation, he can fly with the sword. Spells, Dao arts, will also enter a new stage.
Spells already possess certain entity qualities. There will also be a higher-dimensional lotus flower in the dantian, and the power of the spell has risen sharply since then, and it has been able to comprehend the heavens and the earth, and deduce the whole of all things.
The state of mind in this realm will be extremely confident and powerful, the longevity will be doubled, and the primordial spirit will be in a state of growth, ready to step into the next realm. When it can truly be called the realm of the power of the Golden Immortal, the physical body and the primordial infant can be separated and combined, and they can freely shuttle between the material world and the soul world!
The reason why the Taoist Yuan Infant is strong comes from the three souls and seven spirits of the cultivator, the so-called Yang God is the Yuan Infant who can go out of the body, but if you want to manifest the Yang God in the material world, the soul power required is very huge, almost equivalent to the soul power of a mortal's life, so the power of the Yuan Infant in this world is almost invisible.
However, once the infant is born, he will have supreme supernatural powers, among which the "iQue Realm" allows you to travel in different dimensions, and the "Divine Light and Sky Eye" can allow you to know the affairs of the world without leaving home, distinguish yin and yang, distinguish between truth and falsehood, and "deduce the good and evil of all things"?
Every Yuan Infant power, after experiencing the madness of the explosion of strength, will almost calm down again at the last moment, because they have experienced the ups and downs on the road of cultivation, ups and downs, and the rest of the thing is this ordinary heart.
