Chapter 82: The Theoretical Foundations of Spiritual and Divine Consciousness
In the following week, Daochen swallowed the Qi and Blood Restoration Pill every day, hoping to recover as soon as possible, while familiarizing himself with the cultivation of Zhuji. Building the foundation is the first hurdle of cultivation, after stepping on the immortals, from then on he is not a mortal, but a high immortal, only to really embark on the road of cultivating immortals, but the sword flying, not like the training period, the aura is unstable and difficult to support the sword consumption.
In the mortal Qi refining period, he was also a martial artist, and he was a master in the world! Trekking through mountains and rivers is like walking on the ground, stepping on snow without a trace, and his body is as light as a swallow, but he has never been able to fly, and he finally fell behind, and many Qi cultivators are unable to improve and mingle in the world, so it is not uncommon to be seen more.
However, the Tsukiji monk can fly with a sword, and no matter how strong or weak he is, he will be worshiped as an idler, because no matter how much the master of the world practices, he can only come and go without a shadow, and he can't do it in his life if he wants to fly with the sword. People are accustomed to worshipping the unknown, powerful, and untouchable as gods and immortals. Yes, the path of cultivation, the practice of qi is the beginning, the foundation is the foundation, and the golden pill is said to be successful.
Moreover, there is another major feature after the foundation is built, that is, the release of divine thoughts and divine consciousness, and the spiritual energy is in a gaseous state during the refining period, and the transmission of spiritual power and soul power is extremely unstable, and it is difficult for monks to release their divine thoughts and divine consciousness, so they can only look inward; after the foundation is built, the spiritual energy is liquefied, and the spiritual energy transmission ability of the liquid state undergoes a qualitative change, and the divine thoughts and divine consciousness can naturally be released.
Okay, I originally wanted to use Daochen's personal name to narrate, and I feel awkward when I think about it, so I'm going to write the next section as an author, sorry readers who like to read cool texts, and the next is not very suitable for you, I'm going to write a critical Xiuzhen text, so I want to write something clearly and make it clear.
The following is my understanding: What is mental power? What is willpower? What is spiritual consciousness? What is divine consciousness? Immortal consciousness, demon consciousness, demon consciousness, How do they come about? What is the relationship between the brain, heart, and soul? I try to explain it clearly, friends who don't like theory can skip it, this chapter does not talk about the plot, and the first volume will end soon.
Of course,Not all immortal cultivation novels have such a system.,I'm just for the mainstream to understand and analyze myself.,Please don't raise the bar.。。。
Mental Power:
Let's talk about mental power first, because it has a theoretical basis for scientific research in reality, and it is also the easiest to understand, the explanation of the encyclopedia entry is "mental power is an invisible force released by the brain tissue of living organisms", to put it bluntly, mental power is an invisible force released by the brain.
Willpower:
The encyclopedia entry explains that willpower is a concept in psychology. It refers to the quality of a person who consciously determines the purpose, and controls and regulates his actions according to the purpose, and overcomes various difficulties to achieve the goal. There are several emphases, "psychology", "govern one's actions", "qualities".
First, willpower is not generated by the brain, but depends on the "heart"; second, this "heart" is not a biological "heart", but psychology, that is, even if you are immortal and immortal, and your heart is harder than an artifact, it does not mean that your willpower is strong; third, this is a "quality", but it does not say that it is a "good quality", that is, the willpower of bad people can also be very strong; fourth, is the higher the cultivation, the stronger the willpower? Although the answer is no, it can be said with certainty that 99.9% In the case, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the willpower, it is not excluded that some people's willpower has been strong since childhood, but the higher the cultivation, the more things they have experienced, the more stable and powerful their psychology will be. This is the willpower part.
What is Spiritual Consciousness? And that's crucial, because there's no universal definition. Moreover, in most novels, the spiritual and the divine consciousness are always confused, and of course they are not explained, and the reader does not care much. I've gone through all of this and shared it with you based on my own conjectures.
Spiritual Sense: There is a note at the end of the encyclopedia entry, and I dare not put it in front, it is said that "when the spiritual power in the mind reaches a certain level, it will combine with the spiritual energy in the body to form a special energy, which is called spiritual consciousness", "After the spiritual consciousness is generated, it can be seen inwardly, and the cultivator can grasp the condition of his own body, better control his body and develop the potential of his body." As your strength grows, so does your spiritual sense. Individuals are in favor of this statement.
There are a few points that I have repeatedly helped you with:
1. Spiritual consciousness is born by the combination of spiritual power and spiritual energy! That is to say, the birth of spiritual consciousness has nothing to do with the soul! It is closely integrated with the brain. I emphasize this because many people attribute both spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness to the power of the soul, but then it is difficult to explain the difference between the two, and I don't agree with it, so let's talk about it slowly.
2. After the spiritual consciousness is generated, you can look inward! These nine characters have two points, one of which is when does the spiritual consciousness arise? According to this theory, the spiritual consciousness is produced on the first level of qi training! Because spiritual power is innate, but the strength is different, and spiritual energy is present at the first level of qi training, that is, the cultivator has the conditions for the generation of qi at the first level of qi training. The second point is that after the spiritual consciousness is generated, you can see it inwardly, so when can you see it outward? This point is very chaotic in traditional novels, some can do it at the beginning, some are in the foundation building period, and some simply call the outward ability divine consciousness, and if it is not unified, it will be said that it is justified and justified, and there is no way to criticize, I can only give my conclusion: when the monk is introduced, he has the spiritual energy and can see inward, but he cannot see outward, and only when he reaches the foundation building period can he see outward.
Why? Because spiritual consciousness is a combination of spiritual power and aura. The aura in the body is from the dantian, operated by the meridians, and is very stable, but as a gas, once released, it becomes extremely unstable, which also explains several other points, such as the qi practitioner cannot fly with the sword because the aura is unstable, and the qi practitioner is unstable in operating the talisman, also because the aura is unstable. The same monk combines the spiritual power with the external aura, and the external release of spiritual energy is inherently unstable, and the spiritual power is not like a weapon, it is itself nothing, and the combination of the two unstable factors is how to use it externally?
But after the foundation is built, it is different, after the foundation is built, the spiritual energy liquefies, and the conduction of spiritual power changes from gaseous to liquid, physics proves that the conduction ability of the liquid state is much higher than that of gas, which has something to do with particles, and the different proportions of matter are different, in terms of heat conduction, it is 25 times! Therefore, the foundation building monk can achieve the release of spiritual consciousness. Therefore, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the spiritual power and spiritual power, and the stronger the spiritual sense.
This is my understanding, the monk has spiritual consciousness after he enters, but he can only look inward, and after the foundation is built, the spiritual energy can be liquefied and released.
Next, what is the difference between consciousness and spiritual consciousness?
Divine Consciousness: The explanation of the entry is "Divine Consciousness refers to consciousness", continue to read, all the theories around Divine Consciousness are Buddhist theories, and there is some conflict with our traditional Xiuzhen text, and consciousness is produced by the brain, which is very embarrassing, so that Divine Consciousness and Spiritual Consciousness are generated from the brain, so I don't agree with this, the definition of Divine Consciousness should still start from the traditional Xiuzhen text.
First of all, I will talk about my opinion: when the power of the soul reaches a certain level, it will combine with the spiritual energy in the body to form a special energy, which is called divine consciousness. That's my definition, it's very similar to the generation of spiritual consciousness, but one is generated by the brain and one by the soul. To explain the difference, I need to give a few similar examples.
The first one, the color of seeing and hearing and the color of the overlord in One Piece. Seeing and hearing colors can perceive the other person's movements without using their eyes, is it very similar to spiritual consciousness? Spiritual consciousness can also perceive the other person's movements without eyes. The explanation in One Piece is that "the overlord color is a kind of king qualification, and a person with the overlord color can use this domineering power to intimidate and deter the opponent without making a move, and can also make the opponent weaker than himself faint", what is this like? Yes, like a soul attack! Of course, as a hot-blooded man, you can also understand it as an attack of willpower. Starting from the Xiuzhen text, it is naturally understood as a soul attack, because willpower is only a quality, and there is no ability to attack. In other words, you can think of the difference between spiritual and divine consciousness as the difference between seeing and hearing and overlording, so that some readers can understand it very well. If you haven't watched One Piece, I'll explain it to you in another way, it will be a little more complicated.
Basically involving the cultivation of divine consciousness, most of the protagonists will "attack with divine consciousness", killing people and being invisible, but how many times have you seen "spiritual sense attack"? Basically, no, that is, divine consciousness has offensive power, but spiritual consciousness does not, which is one of the differences between spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness in traditional Xiuzhen text. Since there is a difference, it is certainly not possible for both to have brains or to be produced by souls.
From this point of view, we dig deeper, the spiritual consciousness is the combination of spiritual power and aura, and the spiritual power comes from the brain, and the role of spiritual power is to control objects and influence other people's minds to cast illusions, so that it is normal for the spiritual consciousness produced by the combination of spiritual power and spiritual energy to control magic weapons, but can spiritual consciousness affect other people's thinking and cast illusions? At present, there is no such statement, this function has become the ability to see everything outside and without eyes. Therefore, the spiritual consciousness cannot directly attack people.
Continue to dig, the divine consciousness is generated by the combination of the soul power and the aura, the soul power naturally comes from the soul, and the role of the soul power is to attack, the traditional Xiuzhen text basically has soul skills, so it is not surprising that the divine consciousness can attack people.
This is the difference between spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness, which arises in different ways and has different effects. Another point is also to explain, what is the difference between the control of spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness on magic weapons? Whether you use spiritual consciousness or divine consciousness to imprint on the magic weapon, you can control it, but the difference lies in the degree of control, spiritual consciousness is generated by spiritual power, and spiritual power will dissipate after a long time on the magic weapon, so there is a saying of warmth; 。 Of course, the difficulty is different, the Divine Brand is a very high-end spell, and the Spiritual Brand is more versatile. This also explains that some magic weapons that intersect with faith and fate will be warmed with blood, and you will only be imprinted with spiritual sense, and if you want to control it well, you can only be branded with blood and blood, and it is not surprising that the magic weapon of heart-blood warmth and soul branding will vomit blood and be injured after being broken.
Why is it that the spiritual consciousness is always confused with the divine consciousness, because they also have the same function, which is the ability to see things without their eyes. Human beings have many recognition systems, eyes, ears, nose, strokes, fingerprints to the current optical, acoustic, computer, but no matter how it increases, when it loses external force, there are only two major recognition systems reliable, eyes and ears, even if there is no other recognition system, a single eye or ear can ensure daily life, but deaf and blind people can not rely on a single nose or hands to complete daily recognition.
In the Xiuzhen world, there should be four major identification systems, eyes, ears, spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness, only one of them, the others are not or are sealed during the battle, and they can continue to judge the enemy to fight, of course, the combat effectiveness will be seriously weakened.
It is precisely because spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness belong to the recognition system, and spiritual power and soul are similar in perception, so it is easy to confuse. However, in the late stage of cultivation, the perception ability of the divine consciousness is much higher than that of the spiritual consciousness, because the distance of spiritual power is limited, but the consumption and danger of the spiritual consciousness are also much lower than that of the divine consciousness.
It's really tiring to write theories, not to mention the people who read them, but the people who write them also feel so tired, and finally finish talking about the most complex spiritual and divine senses.
Next, I refute the idea that the divine consciousness is an evolved version of the spiritual consciousness and the immortal consciousness, the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator, the immortal consciousness of the immortal cultivator, and the divine consciousness of the cultivator. It seems correct, but it does not stand up to scrutiny, for example, what is the difference between a cultivator of the gods and a cultivator of the true immortals? Many traditional novels do not appear all three at the same time. And combined with the demon consciousness and demon consciousness, I would prefer to give another explanation.
Needless to say, spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness, if you don't understand the definition and difference, you will either understand it or spit it out if you go up and read it a few times.
And demon consciousness, demon consciousness, and immortal consciousness can be said to be another name for spiritual consciousness, demon cultivators call spiritual consciousness demonic consciousness, demon cultivators call demon consciousness demon consciousness, and cultivating immortals is really habitually pretending, called immortal consciousness, the three are equal, and the functions are the same, but they are called different names.
To sum up:
Spiritual consciousness is generated by the combination of spiritual power and aura, and spiritual power originates from the brain, which can control things and see all things, and does not have direct attack power;
Divine consciousness is generated by the combination of soul power and spiritual consciousness, and soul power comes from the soul, which can resist things, can see all things, and has direct attack power;
Willpower is produced by the psyche and is a quality that serves no purpose other than to increase subjective initiative;
Spiritual power belongs to a kind of brain fluctuations, which can resist things, but it is unstable, it is only suitable for qi cultivators, and it can affect the senses of others, so it can be used for illusion, but it has no direct killing ability, and it is illusion rather than mental power that kills.
Soul power belongs to soul fluctuations, can be resisted, but requires soul skills to apply soul marks, extremely rare, only suitable for high-level monks, can release soul skills, kill people and thousands of miles away, but the risk is large.
