Chapter 110: The Shackles Pursued by the Seagod [Second Update]
Because of the difference in life forms, there will always be all differences between the human race and the sea god. Many human races are born with a sense of truth, but it will be as difficult to understand as metaphysics for the sea gods. And some of the simple concepts in Poseidon's thinking are as obscure to the human race as computer language.
At the simplest point, the concept of time and space of the human race follows European geometry, and the Poseidon class is born with the perspective of Roche geometry.
Although these two geometries are equivalent to a certain extent, this is enough to cause great communication difficulties.
In other ways too.
The more obvious one is "self-awareness". Regardless of the fact that there is no obstacle to communication between the Poseidon and the Terrans, at least it is difficult for the Terrans to understand their views on the issue of "self-awareness".
At least that's what Wang Qi thought at first.
Therefore, for Mi's approach, he felt a little "nonsense".
But when he thought about Senior Sister Mi's question, he realized that he had never actually thought about "me".
――No, it's actually a subconscious avoidance of thinking.
In the first few years, he thought that he was caught up in a brain-in-a-vat experiment, frantically trying to find clues or evidence to the "real".
And now, Wang Qi finds himself as if he has really fallen into a "brain in a vat". At this time, he didn't know how to prove that "I am me".
If "this me now" is the thinking of the brain created by Mi, then how should the self-perception of "this me" from "Wang Qi" in the memory of "this me" be calculated?
At this time, Mi stood up.
Mi's appearance is no more than ten years old, and he is very petite, and after standing up, he is only slightly higher than Wang Qi, who is sitting. But. Her tranquil expression and calm attitude made Wang Qi feel that she was the leader......
- Well, no matter what, my senior sister is millions years old......
Wang Qi thought almost subconsciously.
At this time, Mi stared at Wang Qi's face. "You are still limited by your own 'narrowness'. ”
Wang Qi was stunned: "Narrow?"
"When I first finished this brain, I had my own consciousness go into it. Mi said: "For me, it was a really scary experience. ”
"You're going to lose your mental health because you've tried the Terran way of thinking. Wang Qi exclaimed, "What does it feel like?"
"Narrow. "It's so narrow that it's as if the mind is completely bound." ”
"Narrow?bundle?"
"Underneath the Ten Thousand Law Gate, there is a lake dug out for me. Isn't that small for you? But...... My body once covered 50 million square kilometers. If I hadn't given up most of my body, I wouldn't even be able to get there. Mi said: "If my body in my heyday were to squeeze into that little pond, I guess that's what it felt." ”
China covers an area of 9.6 million square kilometers. Asia. That's 44.6 million square kilometers. In its heyday, it was even bigger than Eurasia. Even if the Wanfa Gate excavates an underground lake, it can't be bigger than this.
- Stenosis, stenosis, stenosis.
-- The whole mind is squeezing itself.
- Stenosis, stenosis, stenosis.
――I want to get out.
Perhaps because his thinking was too broad and strong, the thought of Mi appeared in Wang Qi's heart again.
The brain of the Terrans. For Mi's mind, it is a shackle, a restraint suit. She's just putting part of her mind into it. The illusion of "can't move" is created.
"I'm sorry that our Terran brains are so small. Wang Qi shook his head: "In this way, your thinking gives me the feeling of being completely opposite. ”
Big, too big.
Wider than the sea, higher than the sky.
That's the heart of the Poseidon class.
Wang Qi just peeked into a corner of it, and he felt as if he was going to drown in it.
"Do you understand? How narrow, small and ridiculous in the eyes of my consciousness. Mi looked at Wang Qi and said, "So, I don't particularly understand your current struggle. Even your 'gradual change' approach of carefully maintaining your 'self' when breaking through the realm. ”
Now that you have understood, the answer to the proposition 'I am what I am' is not fixed but changes with the times. Why don't you break this 'me' in the first place?"
"As long as your ego can control the various effects of the change of the thinking organ from the beginning, then you can step through the three realms of the human world at a faster speed and touch the Yuanshen Heavenly Pass. ”
Wang Qi was shocked: "Are you planning to ......?"
"Touch our realm and you will know how your ego limits you. Mi pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Here, you will change your thinking organs in various forms, and in the process, your narrow self will be shattered countless times. Until, your consciousness knows how to navigate this change. ”
"For example, yesterday's all kinds of yesterday's death, today's kinds of today's life?" Wang Qi felt that he was moved.
When ordinary people hear Mi's proposal, their first reaction is definitely to refuse. Because, most of them, they can't accept Mi's practice of using a knife in self-knowledge.
However, Wang Qi was moved.
Because he had that idea in the first place!
-- There are always people who regard some of their bad faults as their personality and their bad habits as their own. They themselves want to get rid of those vices, but they are advised to do so, and they always feel that their freedom has been violated. This is clearly the manifestation of the restraint of the mind by material conditions......
-- The cultivation of human character and the formation of personality are always disturbed by the material world. What you think of as 'individuality' is actually a collection of external infections. Don't you think that many people's vices are homogeneous? My idea is to bring that absolute freedom to all people, so that everyone can completely control their own personality according to their own ideas.
――I want everyone to have the freedom to control their own minds!
From the very beginning, Wang Qi was ready to go under the knife on his own self-consciousness. Naturally, he wouldn't mind this kind of self-shattering and then reinventing himself.
Rather, he still had the slightest urge to agree.
However, now there is one question left.
"Senior sister, this I, no matter how I say it, is just the 'Wang Qi' you imagined. If you let that 'Wang Qi' outside practice with my experience, will it cause such a result--Wang Qi actually completed his cultivation based on Mi's fantasy?"
Mi's expression was a little helpless: "How can I tell you that I don't believe it...... This is indeed you, and it's connected to your brain out there. It's just that your brain can't withstand 6,000 times the time it takes to be conscious, so I made this brain. ”
"Trust me, because of this, it's just as important to me. I need your personality as well. ”
Wang Qi was surprised: "Why?"
"Aren't you surprised?" Mi Youyou sighed: "We who have no obstacle of knowledge and vision are obviously the most suitable race to study the way of the present law, and I, as a community, have existed for more than a million years, far exceeding the time that the Immortal Alliance has existed, but why is our civilization inferior to you?"
"This ......" Wang Qi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know much about you, so I don't know. ”
"We can't complete the preliminaries of the Dharma path. Mi sighed and said, "The riddle of the gods, the riddle of the heavens, and the riddle of the spirit...... Why do these thoughts and these practices have to be named after 'mysteries'?"
"Because they are a mystery and can only be a mystery. ”
The emergence of science also requires preconditions. It is not a flash of inspiration for a certain or even genius, but a long-term accumulation of firewood, ignited by genius.
On Earth, the name "firewood" includes ancient Greek philosophy, logic, medieval equations, and Renaissance thought.
In Shenzhou, the non-fate and heavenly ambition of the Mo family, the natural law of the Taoist teacher, and the learning of several schools are all the "charcoals" of the way of the law.
The Poseidon were uninformed, and they could have had smooth sailing on the road ahead, but they got stuck on the previous step.
"Poseidon class, you can't have that kind of accumulation. Because, no one can stick to their creed for a long time and form their own doctrine. Mi shook his head: "All the people I know have overturned their creeds and denied their own words, and the doctrines I know will eventually be abandoned by the founders." ”
Wang Qi frowned: "Why?"
Mi pointed to her body, "Why should I become a Terran child?"
"I heard you because ...... The personality is close to that of a young child, and it is always in the period of personality formation...... "Wang Qi vaguely remembers that Mi had said this problem. But soon, he was taken aback: "No......"
"That's where our flaws lie. Instability. Mi's tone was calm, as if he wasn't talking about his own race: "It's hard for us to stick to a doctrine for too long." Perhaps one day, on a whim, we will let go of our past thoughts, and even meet the lives and deaths of our past comrades. ”
"We can't do theories. With us, there is only more and more ingenious and irrefutable logic, and there is no empirical ......"
Wang Qi asked, "Haven't you thought about improving this situation?"
"I've thought about it. Then, most of the Poseidon who had this idea died. Mi's expression was finally covered with a touch of sadness: "We can't fix our bodies." Fixation, that is, the loss of the community of the body, is death. ”
"When a Poseidon feels that his ideas are incomparable, that is when he is dying. The individuals in his body will coalesce into lumps, form rocks, sink to the bottom of the sea, lose their vitality, and eventually become a fossil in the core of the planet's rock. ”
"At your feet, every stone is deposited with the thoughts of those who have died. ”
"What you just said is very true. Freedom is to dance in shackles, and its true meaning is not to do whatever you want, but not to do what you want. Now, it's time for me to find a shackle for myself. (To be continued.) )
