Chapter 534: I Am You, You Are My Reward
Looking at the reactions of the people nearby, the figure couldn't help but grin and looked at Jiang Zhe, "Your explanation is very reasonable, but it also frightened these indigenous people, and everything you just explained doesn't seem to be over yet, do you want to continue?" ”
Jiang Zhe nodded lightly and chose to continue.
Once he stops, the rating of the fifth level will not be high, and he still has a lot to say.
Looking around at everyone nearby and looking at the fear on people's faces, Jiang Zhe comforted: "Now, this performance of yours is a reaction after receiving the 'truth' and shattering your original inherent world cognition. ”
"Then again, we, you, in our lives at this moment, everything that encounters us at this moment is made up of the signals that our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind receive. This consciousness is always drawn to the most stimulating sensory signals! ”
"For example: a screeching voice, a sore arm, a frightening cliff, a heartbreak after a broken love. How can you be sure that the source of these signals must be authentic and credible, and how do you know that you are just wearing a VR glasses that you can't feel and can't take off? ”
"When you put on these 100% realistic VR glasses, you are born from this world, and after the birth, your consciousness is completely immersed here, experiencing the life here and what happens here!"
"With the above words expressed, let's go back to the problem itself!"
"Why can't we humans be aware of our own nature?"
"It's not that we're not smart, it's that for most of our lives, our entire attention is drawn to external phenomena."
"We are troubled, we are looking forward to, we are happy, we are miserable, we are desperate, we are trying to live, we are all lost in the illusion of being constructed!"
"When all beliefs and mental models piece together a 'me'"
"And this 'me' is just a 'little me'"
"The 'ego' has an illusory sense of identity and cognition with itself. These identities come from body, gender, age, occupation, beliefs, wealth, experiences, perceptions, opinions, hobbies, and more. ”
"Identifying with the mental model on which the above depends is the 'ego'"
"This mental model contains a number of complex repetitive thoughts, emotions and reactions."
"These are all constrained by life experiences and beliefs, and the best way for this 'ego' to prove its existence is to compare itself with others in order to strengthen itself."
"Therefore, we humans will habitually complain to highlight that we are the best, the best, and that the mistakes made by others have nothing to do with me."
"If the 'ego' finds itself in a weak position in comparison, it will immediately create desires to surpass others, and then the desires will come one after another, and the satisfaction of the ego will be extremely short-lived."
"When the desires of the 'ego' are satisfied, the next goal to be pursued is immediately created to fill the emptiness in the heart, so the 'ego' will never feel truly satisfied!"
"It can be seen from this that the essence of the 'ego' is false, empty, and non-existent."
Hearing this, the figure nodded slightly, "Little me, it's a little interesting, go on!" ”
Jiang Zhe ignored the praise of the figure and continued to talk about his perception of 'me' by himself:
"The 'ego' needs to constantly prove its false presence through acquisition, like an empty onion, camouflaging itself with layers of skin."
"The ego always needs more, and it keeps consuming. The ego creates our attachment and obsession with things. The ego equates 'possession' with 'existence', but the satisfaction it receives from possession is short-lived and superficial. 'Desire' is more perpetuating than 'possession'. Restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and dissatisfaction are all the result of insatiable desires. ”
"Identification with external forms obscures our true being. When human beings stop looking for themselves in things and thoughts, attachment will naturally disappear. ”
"When all the forms, all the identities collapse, you realize that your true identity is formless, all-pervasive. Only Presence can dissolve your inner past and thus transform your state of consciousness. ”
"The ego is born by identity and separation. Every ego is trying to protect and expand itself. In order to uphold 'me and my mind', it requires a relative mind – the other. ”
"Habitually complaining about others is one of the ego's favorite tricks to strengthen yourself."
"When people complain, people are always implying that they are right. Nothing strengthens the ego more than 'I am right.'" You have to make others wrong in order to gain a stronger sense of self and superiority! ”
"Resentment, on the other hand, is the emotion that comes with complaining and labeling. Resentment is a feeling of distress, indignation, grievance, or violation. ”
"Sometimes, the mistakes you see in others are not there, but are projected to show the superiority of the ego."
"Even if someone else's mistake exists, the more you focus on it, the more you expand it. Your reactions to the things within others will reinforce the same things within yourself. Not reacting to the ego within others and being at peace with it allows you to transcend your own ego. Not responding is not showing weakness, but forgiveness or 'seeing through'. ”
"My little self will feel that everything is for it. Emotions arise as a result, and both defensive and aggressive attitudes appear. The ego often confuses opinions, opinions, and facts. Every ego is a master of selective cognition and distorted understanding. The ego needs dramatic events and conflicts in order to show its identity as the victor. In order to break through the ego, it is only through awareness that you can recognize what is the situation itself and what is the emotion that arises from it. ”
"Whatever the ego manifests, the driving force behind it is always a desire to be different, to be in control, to be in power, to be noticed, to ask for more."
"Of course, it also craves a sense of separation, it needs confrontation, it needs enemies. The root of the emotions that control all the activities of the ego is fear. Fear of becoming a nobody, fear of dying, etc. The ego has always been surrounded by insecurity, and despite its outward appearance of confidence, it is actually extremely fragile and will collapse when it encounters something stronger. ”
"This is the essential reason why we feel empty, lonely and bored in the absence of sensory stimulation when we are completely dominated by the 'ego'!"
"And the existence of the 'ego' is like a filter overlaid on top of reality!"
"You, no, all of us, see through this filter all the illusion of illusion and distortion!"
"Under this vast and intricate filter, the essence of each of us is like a white, pure and flawless diamond, exuding the purest light of consciousness!"
"This 'I' never labels anything as 'good' or 'bad', never demands that life unfold in a given way, and never feels that what hasn't happened in the future is potentially threatening."
"No matter what happens, it's always there, standing still!"
"It's hidden behind the noise and unconscious behavior in the mind!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhe looked at the silent scene nearby, and everyone had a trace of dazed and speechless in their eyes, even so, he still opened his mouth to say the last sentence: "If you allow yourself to settle down, you will eventually catch a glimpse of the pure joy and peace brought by the 'self-sufficiency' of ultimate consciousness, and then the way you can truly realize your true nature is through the awareness of the present moment, and once you realize that you are aware of everything in the present moment, the light of consciousness will illuminate your entire existence." This white and unblemished light of consciousness is your essence! ”
As the words fell, he looked around and smiled calmly: "When the time comes, I will congratulate you on finding yourself, and even more so on finding your own essence!" ”
With this series of perceptions of 'me', the scene was silent for several seconds.
After a while, the scene suddenly burst into thunderous applause, which aroused the praise of countless curious and watchable people.
"This guy, I'm afraid, is not a psychotic as we see, but a philosopher!"
"I have never heard of his theories, but after listening to them, I realized my shortcomings."
"If this guy hadn't suddenly appeared at the crossroads, I'm afraid I'd have been haunted by everything in the world,, this TMD is a master!"
"Master, well done, your class has completely woken me up, and I'm ashamed of insulting you just now!"
“...”
Not only the people, but also the armed policemen who were watching nearby gradually showed contemplation, they thought that Jiang Zhe was a second-class merit for walking, but now it seems that their previous desires were also supported by the 'little self' - to arrest Jiang Zhe and get a reward.
After listening to Jiang Zhe's explanation of 'me', the policemen shook their heads one after another, and then smiled ashamedly.
"This guy named Jiang Zhe, it is estimated that some philosophy professor is here, this may be a social experiment!"
"He may be doing a social experiment, and his experiment is how many people will agree with what he just said!"
"Now that I look at it, his words really make me agree with him, Jiang Zhe, I remember him!"
“...”
After the people's discussion fell, the figure finally smiled, but soon, the figure's face showed unprecedented solemnity, "The last two questions, who am I and where are you?" ”
I saw Jiang Zhe say without hesitation: "You are my essence, you are also my reward, I am standing at the crossroads of life at this time!" ”
The figure was stunned for a moment, then smiled unexpectedly and raised his hand to applaud it, "Well done!" ”
Without any accidents, after Jiang Zhe answered, the figure suddenly merged with Jiang Zhe, allowing Jiang Zhe to successfully find his inner 'self'!
Then a series of fifth-level settlement prompts appeared.
