Chapter 11 Going deep into the realm, the spiritual light becomes a talisman and enters the path
In the process of continuous repetition, the distractions in the mind gradually decreased. When a person focuses on something, the person's mental attention is all focused and does not feel the passage of time.
When the distracting thoughts gradually became calmer, and the flying distractions became scarce, just before he knew it, Ling Yun's mind gradually approached the realm of concentration. Now his mind is infinitely close to a fixed state, and he can enter the state at any time. But because of his obsession with visualizing the red book and jade characters, he was still one step away from entering the meditation.
As for the original purpose of calming the mind, it has now been achieved, but it is still a little short of completely settled. Although meditation and meditation seem to be similar, there is only a difference of one word, but the realm expressed in them is very different.
The so-called meditation is to collect the mind and calm all distracting thoughts, or to replace ten thousand thoughts with one thought and suppress the distracting thoughts in the heart. As long as you can't afford to think about it, put your sense of touch to the maximum, and the effort of calming your mind is done. Meditation is to sublimate the level of meditation on the basis of meditation. Make your own soul into the subtle and deep, detached from desire, thoughtless and thoughtless.
By concentrating his attention on one thing, he cleared all distractions and smoothly reached a state of meditation. But if he wants to enter a deep and subtle realm, he is still a little short.
Ling Yun didn't know this, he just repeated the process of remembering, forgetting, remembering, forgetting, and in his heart, there were no other distracting thoughts except for the thought of 'remembering the red book and jade characters'. In this process of repetition and repetition, even he himself forgot time and space, and only this red book and jade character that he could never remember was left in his eyes.
I don't know how long it took!
In this world, because there is no sun or moon running, it is impossible to mark the passage of time. Not to mention on this island, because of the light curtain shrouded outside the island, the entire island is bright and eternal, there is no shadow at all, and there is no way to know the passage of time.
The passage of time in the outside world can only be marked by the speed and process of its passage through the vicissitudes of things. In the human mind, the passage of time is always relative, and whether fast or slow is just a matter of one's own feelings. But in the process of Ling Yun's repeated cycle of memory and forgetting, the passage of time was erased from his heart.
As if he couldn't notice the passage of time, he sat there silently, his eyes empty and far away, falling on the red book and jade characters, but as if he was no longer on the red book and jade characters.
In the dark, an inexplicable aura seemed to rise in Ling Yun's body. This breath rises from the dantian, passes through the meridians, passes through the five internal organs, and spreads to the limbs and hundreds of remains. But he didn't seem to be aware of the presence of the breath, and he still repeated the process of remembering and forgetting. Let the breath rise and fall in his limbs and bones, and repeat itself.
This kind of atmosphere is peaceful, dense and long, but there is a kind of vigorous, endless momentum. The more the breath circulated in the body, the more vigorous it became, as if a hundred rivers were converging, and it became more and more huge.
But Ling Yun still focused his mind on memorizing the red calligraphy and jade characters, ignoring the changes in his body at all, and it seemed that he would not give up if he was unsuccessful. At this time, his mind was already chaotic and empty, and only a wisp of obsession was left to support his actions.
Because he has been in meditation too deeply, he is gradually approaching the state of concentration, and even this wisp of obsession is gradually disintegrating in the process of getting closer and closer to the state of concentration. It is precisely because of the concentration that there is the beauty of 'deviating from what you want' that the obsession will be dissolved.
And this state of concentration, in the case of Buddhism, is the four meditations, and in the case of Taoism, it is to sit and forget. In the same fixed state, Buddhism says that it is detached from desire, and Taoism says that it forgets the dust. The so-called "dust" and "desire" are just expressions of desire. All desires come from acquired ego. As long as all worries come to naught, this obsession will naturally dissipate in the fixed state.
......
Time flies, time flies.
Between remembering and forgetting, Ling Yun's heart gradually sank into the darkness, and penetrated into a subtle and indescribable realm. At this time, a breeze suddenly rose in his heart, blowing a pool of heart lake, and with the breeze blowing, the obsession hovering in his heart gradually dissipated with the wind.
When the obsession dissipates, all the operation of the mind and consciousness will no longer arise, the mind is empty, one thought cannot be missed, all thoughts are not born, the emptiness is reflected, there is no self and no other.
It turned out that unconsciously, Ling Yun quietly reached the fixed state!
The so-called fixed state is mysterious, and unless you cultivate it yourself, all words cannot tell it. Being in a state of concentration, there is a kind of sleep but not sleep, as if waking up but not waking up, the boundary between me and him is blurred, and there are no distracting thoughts in my heart.
In the fixed state, Ling Yun's front seemed to be a void, but this void was not empty, but a little bright light circling.
In the dark, Ling Yun 'saw' that little bit of spiritual light jumped. In a trance, that little bit of aura twisted and swirled, changing uncertainly. As if for a moment, as if the eternal years had passed, the '○'-shaped red text suddenly jumped into my heart.
There is a little aura turned into the innate red text of '○', and in an instant, this rune that can never be remembered is deeply engraved in my heart. It is the beginning of all things, the creation of the beginning, and the end of all things, the beginning of the beginning, and the cycle of reincarnation......
As if he was born to know, Ling Yun knew the basic meaning of this rune without learning it. But Ling Yun still maintained his steady state, and was not happy because he had successfully visualized the red book and jade characters, and even a faint joy did not arise.
In this fixed state, Ling Yun's emotions are like an ethereal breeze, which may blow a little ripple at the time, but then it will dissipate without a trace.
At this moment, Ling Yun still maintained his fixed state, and that little bit of spiritual light turned into a red book and jade characters, hanging high in the void of the sea of hearts. The airflow in the body seems to have been affected by the red book jade character, and the trajectory of the air flow gradually coincides with the strokes of the red book jade character......
A little aura turned into a charm, without spending a bit of ink and Zhu, the path of Xianmen is not a fantasy, and the first step of the road is the first step.
Successfully visualized the first red book jade character, but Ling Yun has always maintained this fixed state, and all the changes in his body are naturally generated. The air flow is in line with the trajectory of the strokes of the red book and jade characters.
Gradually, the aura Chiwen hanging high in the void of the sea of hearts gradually emitted light. This light permeates the body and responds to the movement of the air.
As Ling Yun exhaled and breathed, there seemed to be something on the island, which he incorporated into his body with his breath. The air flow in his body also accompanied the breathing, running back and forth, circulating, slowly imprinting the red calligraphy and jade characters transformed by the spiritual light into his body.
I don't know how long it took, the spiritual light Chiwen hanging high in the void of the heart sea suddenly spread the spiritual light, and the spiritual light merged with the breath in the body. Immediately, the air flow around Ling Yun's body boiled. At this time, the red text formed by that spiritual light suddenly fell from the void of the sea of hearts, combined with the air flow in the body, circled and condensed, and turned into an innate red text.
Immediately, that innate red text disappeared again, as if it did not exist in the body, but in another realm.
At this time, Ling Yun retreated from the fixed realm. Everything that happened just now was clearly seen by him in the fixed realm. A little bit of inspiration turned into a red text, which was really beyond his expectations.
"Originally, I thought that I could only settle for the next best thing and choose Shenwen, but who knew that at the last moment, after entering the fixed realm, the innate Chiwen was successfully visualized by me. It's finally a matter of heart!" Silently feeling the innate Chiwen, Ling Yun was glad that he could successfully visualize it, but he had a matter on his mind.
"I have already taken the first step, and I have an eyebrow for my future practice. ”
As soon as his mind moved, all of a sudden, the wind, thunder, clouds and rain were done, the clouds and thunder were rolling on the top, and the wind and rain were all around him. Before the wind and rain could add up, the wind and rain would naturally dissipate. At this time, another thought, suddenly the clouds dispersed and the rain fell, and the sky was full of light. If it weren't for the strong grass blown on the ground and the branches and leaves wet by the raindrops, it would have been like a phantom of everything that had just happened.
"One step into the Dao, the supernatural power is self-contained!" Ling Yun knew that this was the supernatural power that would naturally arise after he cultivated the first red book jade character.
These supernatural powers are just incidental to the red book and jade characters, and he doesn't attach much importance to them. What he cares about most now is that he has finally stepped into the threshold, and he will no longer be confused in his future practice.
