Chapter 11: The Path to Consecration

So many people don't really understand that in fact, teachers and books are just one is more humane teaching, and the other is indeed more comprehensive text. But, in fact, they are all your mentors on the path of life.

If you can memorize the Tao Te Ching, then you will find that your outlook on life always carries the concept of Lao Tzu, is Lao Tzu also half of your teacher?

If you have learned Tai Chi, then many of your behaviors can be Yin and Yang, you can think about it, are you worshipping Tai Chi Grandmaster as a teacher?

And these teachers are the ones who will follow you for a lifetime, as long as you don't forget the content of the books, they will always be by your side and let you go the way you want to go.

And enlightenment is that you have to read, not read. The purpose of studying is to have a better life, not to cope with exams or to block other people's excuses. Only when you understand it, the teacher will be by your side, and when you encounter things, you will feel that someone is pointing you in your mind.

This is the second step of enlightenment, and then you have to integrate the knowledge from the books and integrate it into your own life and work. The biggest stupidity of learning is to waste time learning things that you won't do at all, especially if it takes a long time and a lot of energy. Therefore, only by learning with their hobbies or dreams can people get twice the result with half the effort, practice in learning, and then learn from practice.

In this way, sometimes you can often reflect on yourself, where you did well and where you didn't. On the path to enlightenment, you have to have the courage to admit your mistakes, if even the mistakes appear, you yourself are making excuses for yourself, then you will never be able to progress and grow.

And if the first step is for you to start deciding to develop your head, then it will test your perseverance, the second step is to develop the foundation of your head, it will test your perseverance, the third step is for you to apply the test of courage, and the fourth step is for you to really stand on the shoulders of giants and look at the world.

After learning and applying it to real life and work, then you can take another step forward on the basis of your predecessors. This is creation, and if you stand still forever, then you will never be able to achieve more than your teacher. And you have to surpass your teacher, that is the greatest mission and responsibility as a student or apprentice.

Under normal circumstances, all parents hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. Only when children surpass their parents will parents feel gratified and proud of their children. Then the same is true for teachers, many teachers only think that their apprentices can surpass, maybe their own value can be reflected. Because: unfilial piety has three no descendants is great, all teachers hope that their ability can be passed on by future generations, otherwise how to create this ability of the ancestors.

Therefore, after learning the things of the teacher, your greatest task is how to carry them forward and surpass the highest achievements of the teacher. Only in this way will your heart and stage become bigger and bigger, your achievements will be higher and higher, and your life will be more and more brilliant.

Of course, there is one thing that should never be forgotten in the process, and that is knowing how to keep yourself calm. Nothing will be smooth sailing, nor will it be smooth sailing. There are always times when people are unsatisfactory, there are times when they encounter desperate situations, and there are times when they are powerless.

But these are not excuses for sitting still, these are the opportunities to show yourself to surpass yourself. Only by breaking through what you didn't dare to break through before can you truly grow and keep moving forward.

When people are in despair, instead of spending time grieving and suffering, it is better to take time to solve problems and eliminate despair. Don't ask for all the solutions, but ask for it to be effective, even at the last moment of life, don't give up, don't get angry, and do what you want to do, which is also a happy ending. At least I never gave up until the last moment, I was not manipulated by the emotions of sadness, melancholy, pain, anger, I lived under my own control.

Thinking of this, I finally knew that my previous life was really controlled by emotions, not by myself. It is a pity that people will say that they have not comprehended it when it comes to the end, and that they have fallen into this big pit, and they have not been wronged!

There used to be a saying on Earth that the consequences of a minute of anger may be difficult for you to digest in an hour. Sometimes, you will regret this consequence for the rest of your life, isn't this how many people's hearts are slowly formed?

Therefore, sometimes I have to understand how to control my destiny in my own hands, and sometimes let myself not be arrogant, not panicked, not afraid or chaotic, not sad or happy, not lewd and not relaxed, not anxious, etc., all of which are to let myself not live in emotions, but in my own true self consciousness.

With this mentality, think about it, how many times have you made mistakes since you were a child, how many times have you been manipulated by emotions, how many times have you lost opportunities, and how many years have you worked hard?

To open the light, this is to let yourself be enlightened. Only by letting your head shine can you feel the energy between heaven and earth, and feel the movement trajectory of every trace of aura. In this way, if you want to become a cultivator, you are a true cultivator.

After the consecration, return to the basics, and let yourself be close to the most primitive self, rather than the self manipulated by emotions. Only by seeing the essence of the world can we see the aura energy of the world and build a bridge of communication with the aura.

But why don't I feel that I can cultivate? You must know that at this moment, I already feel the overwhelming aura, and I also know that these are the root foundation of cultivation. But I haven't been able to cultivate since I realized this, why is that?

Could it be that my understanding of enlightenment is not enough? yes, it should not be enough, otherwise why is the aura not connected to the bridge that I have built? Since it is not enough, then comprehend it again until you have fully comprehended it.

But at this moment, I didn't know that I was standing in the middle of the entrance of the academy, and the people around me were staring at me, and they kept whispering some things. But I was deeply thinking about it, and I didn't realize these situations at all.

"Brother Wang Yun brought this person here, does it have any different meanings! Why are you standing there stupidly?"

"Who knows? Lord Wang Yun has already left, otherwise he could have asked Lord Wang Yun to give him a wake-up. The door will open in about an hour, and he will definitely let the coaches in the academy remember it, and he will be sad in the future!"

"Are you thinking too much, many people there just now said that this person has not cultivated, I'm afraid he won't even be able to enter the first gate."

"yes, I also think he doesn't feel hopeless, knowing that the coach didn't have a chance to give him small shoes to wear, and deliberately standing there to anger the coach."

"Hey, hey, he's too much to take for granted, and the coaches in the academy have a very wide network. There are a lot of connections in the labor department, and if he has to go to the labor department to do labor work after he fails, he will only be made worse."

"And what's going on? He's finished, and it looks like there's no way to get out of the coach's clutches."

"It won't be so miserable, after all, it's an ordinary person, and the coach can't be so careful, otherwise the coach will be ridiculed in the future."

"What coach is afraid of ridicule, and which student does not tremble at the mention of their prestige"?

It is said that it is usually the case that others tremble when they hear his prestige."

"That's the exception, in a thousand years, isn't it just that."

"Forget it, it's none of our business, it's better to mix less, otherwise it will be easy to burn yourself."

"What are you afraid of, let's just discuss it!

"yes, it's louder than we are, it's fine."

It was under such public opinion that I developed a deep understanding, and maybe in the later stage, I felt that the nerves were not too big, otherwise if I was interrupted, I would suffer backlash. But I didn't think too much about it at the time, and I was lucky, if this was not the entrance of the academy, if I ran to the next place to comprehend, then someone would definitely come to make trouble and interrupt my comprehension.

So sometimes right and wrong are not absolute, but relative. Success and failure are also not absolute, they are also relative. When looking at things, we can't just look at the surface, but look at the essence. If it is said that in comprehension, the most correct thing may be to stand in the middle of the door to comprehend, otherwise it may be interrupted and failed.

Being able to avoid failure is also a kind of success, but also an achievement. In this undisturbed situation, I slowly remembered the most basic point, and I forgot the beginning. If a book is your teacher, does the teacher's name matter? Of course it does. Including the title given to him by others, so I remembered that what I learned this time was not called "Opening Light", but "The Road to Opening Light".

The biggest difference between the road and the dwelling is that the dwelling is the beginning and the end. But the road has only a beginning, not an end. 100-meter sprint, is your road really only 100 meters? Your path can be extended indefinitely, or it can be elevated infinitely.

When you only have the consciousness that I am on the road all the time, you will continue to spur yourself and not be lazy. However, if you think that you have reached the finish line, then you will stop sprinting and stop moving forward.

Since the path of enlightenment is the road, it also means that there is only a beginning, not an end. It's like if you own a consecration artifact and you don't understand the meaning of it, thinking that it can be effective as long as you wear it, then you are very wrong.

If you have the floating dust of a high person, and you have the floating dust, let yourself feel the tranquility and far-reaching in the floating dust, then it is valuable. Because the previous owner of this floating dust was calm and able to be as stable as Mount Tai in the face of any irritable event, the floating dust felt the breath of the high road for a long time, and kept accepting the light, which naturally allowed ordinary people to continue to feel it.

But if you have the dust and you only use it as an object to chase flies, then the dust will slowly lose that spirituality over time and become an ordinary thing. Because no one continues to open the light, no matter how spiritual it is, it will become a stone under the feet of ordinary people.

And whether it is a god statue or any other magic weapon, it cannot leave the 'path of enlightenment' and continue, so that it can become more and more spiritual. Instead of thinking that after the consecration, you can do it once and for all, no, there is no such good thing in the world, and the sky will not let people fall like this.

The road to enlightenment is even more so, many people have achieved nothing, perhaps because they have comprehended a certain truth today, and they think that they can go to the road of glory, but they slowly forget the truth the next day, and they will naturally be beaten back to their original shape, unable to continue to fight for the glory they want.

Now that you have found the direction and understood the goal, then you can only keep sprinting, and sometimes there is no end point so that you will not be at a loss. Once you reach the end of what you think you are, you are overwhelmed and don't know what to do next.

I see, enlightenment is a kind of thinking, so that you know how to live your own life. And the road is a kind of willpower that allows you not to stop, until the moment you lose your life, you have to think about how to let someone continue to walk on your road, so that you can never give up.

At this moment, I didn't realize that the aura around me had surrounded me, and in an instant my body, mind, mind, spirit, soul and everything else instantly relaxed. The bridge between me and the aura was completely completed, and the aura washed over my body, but I didn't know it yet, and I was still caught in the joy of learning and comprehending. It wasn't until suddenly, two majestic and powerful words came from the door of the martial arts academy that I suddenly woke up.

"Pass".
