Chapter 686: Realm Perception
Ji Ao Kendao, "Do you feel that you are in such a high place now?"
"What do you need to think?"
"For example, if you look down from above, you can see a large area in your sight, don't you think it's spectacular?"
Ji Shuijing shook his head, "I can't see clearly at night, why do I think it's spectacular?"
"The moonlight is so good today, it doesn't affect the vision at all. Ji Ao Kendao, "Aren't the mountains, plains, and rivers below clearly visible?"
"These can really be seen. Ji Shuijing said disapprerovingly, "But the distance is too far, it feels like looking at the sand table of a map model." ”
Ji Aojian glared, "You don't think it's spectacular, it's not spectacular." The main reason why I brought you here is to tell you how to approach the Great Dao in realm perception. ”
"Yes, that's the point. Ji Shuijing said happily, "Then you can tell me quickly." ”
Ji Aojian spoke, "There are three levels of realm perception. ”
"Three levels?" Ji Shuijing suddenly sighed, "As soon as you say this, I think you are becoming more and more like the third sister." ”
"Really?"
"When the third sister explained the reason to us, she liked to emphasize that there are three stages. Ji Shuijing said, "For example, what kind of money realm." ”
Ji Aojian coughed, "That's right, she taught me too." ”
Then he said, "The state of the first level of the realm is called 'Unconscious Consciousness'. ”
Ji Shuijing asked, "What does this mean?"
"At the beginning of a person, it is like a blank sheet of paper, and the contact with the world step by step, no matter what you know, it is a new and interesting experience. If you encounter a feeling that is very different from your usual experience, you may feel a deep shock in an instant. ”
"Can you be specific?"
"Okay. Ji Aojian said slowly, "For example, the first time you come to the endless sea, the first time you enter the vast desert, the first time you climb the misty peak, the first time you see the volcano erupting from lava, will you suddenly feel that the heavens and the earth are so great, and you are incomparably small?"
Ji Shuijing nodded, "This is understandable, but I don't quite understand why this is considered 'unclear'?"
Ji Aojian explained, "Because this spectacular scene is because I have never seen it before, I will be deeply experienced. If you are a fisherman who grew up by the sea, or a nomadic tribe living in the desert, you are used to seeing such an environment since you were a child, and you will always feel unremarkable, and you may not even have the opportunity to be shocked in your life. ”
"I seem to understand a little bit......"
"Because it's the first time, it's shocking, because it's ignorance, it's shocking. The essence of unclear consciousness is that distance produces beauty, and mystery produces beauty. Ji Aojian continued, "When this layer of state develops to the peak, it will be considered that the moon in a foreign country is round. ”
Ji Shuijing asked puzzledly, "Why is the moon of a foreign country round, and the moon of its own country is not square?"
"Didn't the ancients have a saying that foreign monks are good at chanting?"
"Well, if you say that, you can understand. Ji Shuijing nodded, "What is the realm perception of the second layer?"
Ji Aojian sighed, "The realm state of this layer is called 'cynicism'. ”
"What does it mean to be cynical?"
"People who have reached this level have already had rich life experience, sufficient experience of world affairs, and even mastered historical allusions throughout the ages, and are accustomed to everything as a matter of course, which is not surprising, and they have consciously gained insight into the nature of human nature and the laws of society, and believe that all activities in the world are just repetitions and historical cycles. ”
"Eh, is there any characteristic?"
Ji Aojian nodded, "The idiom of this kind of people is: human beings have not made any progress for thousands of years, everyone is just living in the fly camp and dogs, and I have seen through the red dust......"
Ji Shuijing said in surprise, "It turns out that the essence of breaking the red dust is cynicism?"
"If you love the society, are inspirational, strive to be a promising youth, and strive for the future of the country and the nation, how can you see through the red dust?"
"Okay, what does the realm state of the third layer look like?"
Ji Ao Kendo, "This stage is called 'plain is true'. ”
"Please be specific. ”
"No matter how bizarre the phenomenon is, you can look at it with a normal mind. No matter how ordinary and small things are, you can feel the true meaning of the avenue from it. ”
Ji Shuijing was a little dazed, "Does this mean that every day when I get up, dress, wash my face, and go shopping, I have to imagine what great and profound philosophy is contained in it?"
"It's called formalism, and it's completely different from me. Ji Aojian said angrily, "If you really want to do that, the biggest possibility is to become a joker with feelings for chicken soup, and in the end, you don't know how to live a normal life." ”
"But I really don't understand the difference between the two?"
"The true realm perception is to let the realm be used for one's own use, rather than being swayed by the realm. "Ji Ao Kendo," the latter is deliberately to show that he has a certain realm, so as to play a literary and artistic young man, a senior master. ”
"You're so suspenseful, it's so hard to understand. ”
"Let's put it this way, if you see a person with a bit of immortal wind and bone temperament, which naturally emanates and has no other purpose, this is a real master. Ji Ao Kendao, "But if this person's profession is actually to set up a street stall to tell fortunes, and to exercise and cultivate a half-immortal temperament is to make himself more trustworthy to customers, and business has been booming, then his realm is fake." ”
"Oh, I see what's going on. ”
Ji Shuijing pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, if someone pretends to be instinctive, just likes to enjoy this feeling, and has no other purpose, then is his elegant demeanor a true realm or a false realm?"
Ji Aojian was stunned, "How can this be, you have too much brain, right?"
In 1806, Napoleon saw The Celestial Mechanics and asked the author, Laplace, why he did not mention God in his book. Laplace replied indifferently: Your Majesty, I don't need that assumption. ”
Laplace argues that we can view the present state of the universe as a consequence of its past and a cause of the future. If an intelligent creature knew the forces of all natural motion and the position of all naturally constituted objects at a given moment, and if it was smart enough to analyze and process this data, the motion of the largest objects in the universe to the smallest atom would be contained in a simple formula; ”
Listening to the story told by Ji Shuijing, Ji Aojian sighed, "There is no exact historical record of this, most of it is a joke." ”
"You don't care if there is a historical record, is this kind of inner firmness a real supreme state?"
"In a sense, being firm in the heart of the Dao can certainly go further on the path of cultivation than cynicism. Ji Ao Kendao, "No matter whether this story is for powder or black, no matter how paranoid a scientist is, his scientific literacy is much higher than that of those idlers who can talk about him." ”
"Hey, hey, I heard you say that, I'm the idler?"
"Pretty much. Ji Aojian sighed, "Actually, I think your realm comprehension is a cynical existence that belongs to the second stage, because there are too many things to see and too many things to understand, but it is difficult to break that barrier, so that you can't better strengthen your Dao heart." ”
“......”
"Originally, if the eldest sister or the third sister were alive, you would be in awe of them, as long as they strictly supervised you, they would naturally be able to restrain your loose heart and let you practice seriously. ”
Ji Shuijing snorted, "You mean I don't have reverence for you anymore?"
"Needless to say, you know. Ji Aojian said angrily, "So, I have no choice but to completely transform you." ”
"What's the makeover?"
Ji Aojian was silent for a while and asked her, "Do you have a history of heart disease?"
"Of course not. Ji Shuijing said inexplicably, "My health is very good, and it is easy to run 100,000 meters every day." ”
"I'm relieved, it seems that you have the potential for triathlon. ”
Ji Shuijing said suspiciously, "Why are you asking me this, you want to train me with a lot of exercise?"
"It doesn't take a lot of exercise, it's important that your nerves can handle it. ”
"Haha, I thought it was. Ji Shuijing said lightly, "No matter how terrible it is, it can't scare me." ”
"I take you to the stratosphere, and you don't think it's spectacular, it's not shocking at all. Ji Aojian said with a cold face, "So the first step, I want you to feel the true taste of the sky." ”
Ji Shuijing suddenly felt a nervousness for no reason, and asked hesitantly, "How do you want me to feel?"
"Of course it's freefalling!"
Ji Aojian raised his foot is a kick, this kick seemed to be plain, but it made the whole balloon seem to have life, and a huge elastic force suddenly came from Ji Shuijing's feet, repelling her like a cannonball. (To be continued.) )
