Chapter 68: What is Spiritual Cultivation?
It turns out that according to legend, this "Tao Te Ching" is Lao Tzu finally disappeared before the time of the Yanmen Pass, Lao Tzu wrote this "Tao Te Ching" and handed it over to the city gate officials of the Yanmen Pass, who knew that the "Tao Te Ching" in the hands of the city gate officials was not hot, was snatched away, and since then it has not been traced and has not spread.

It wasn't until later that Xu Ziping, the master of Yang Weide, the deputy leader of the Yi League, got this article by chance, and then passed it on to Yang Weide, and Xu Zhuzi had the honor to read it.
But Xuan Zhuzi said, looked back at Qiu Qiang again, and muttered for a long time, then hesitated, "Spiritual suppression is not a long-term solution after all, this mental cultivation should also be paid attention to, even if you can't meditate and blow the flute like Huang Yaoshi and the old naughty boy, you can also learn from Hong Qigong to keep your heart and play Hongchen." ”
"As for what mental cultivation is, it's actually more like a feeling. If you close your eyes and use your mind, you can perceive it. ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and pointed to Huang Yaoshi, and said, "Just like Huang Yaoshi, his heart has changed greatly in recent years, and the perception of the whole person is a little ethereal. ”
Qiu Qian is like this, and he closes his eyes to perceive, but it is useless, although his spiritual energy is outstanding, but he can't let the spiritual energy leave the body, and he wastes half his energy, and he sweats heavily and still gets nothing.
The old urchin couldn't help but tease, "Clever, stupid, I think it's about the same, hahaha." ”
Qiu Qian couldn't help but be embarrassed, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he only listened to Huang Yaoshi's words, "Gather your mind, have no distracting thoughts, and concentrate your thoughts." ”
Qiu Qiang immediately did as he said, and gradually finally felt the existence of Huang Yaoshi vaguely, carefully perceived it for a moment, and then turned his head to face Zhou Botong, thinking for a long time, Qiu Qiang finally suddenly realized.
In Qiu Qiao's perception, Huang Yaoshi was like a fireball, emitting a faint halo around his body, which showed a light blue fluctuation and was very stable, giving people a feeling of indifference like water.
And Zhou Botong also has a halo around his body, his halo is pale red, but occasionally flashes some green, Qiu Qian carefully perceived, and found that this is actually made of two halos intertwined, the two halos overlap, just like the characteristics of the Quanzhen Sect's mental method, the distraction is two, one is inside, and the other is outside.
And the two halos are not almost unchanged like Huang Yaoshi, the orange one changes in size very quickly, giving people the feeling of a naughty child, and the other light green one is relatively stable, giving people a sense of agility and vitality.
Qiu Qian had already made a general guess at this time, this is the so-called human energy field (human body glow or color halo), right? I didn't expect that it could be perceived with spiritual energy.
At that moment, he closed his eyes to perceive Xuzhu and Huang Rong, and everyone present waited quietly.
Qiu Qiang sensed that the fluctuations of the void bamboo were very strange, as if they were intertwined by four or five colors, but the stability was abnormal, he couldn't see any rules after looking at it for a long time, he could only feel that the void bamboo was vibrant, and couldn't help muttering secretly, "It seems that this old way can live for a long time......"
And Huang Rong's fluctuations are also pale blue like Huang Yaoshi, but they change slowly, oscillating between blue and red, giving people a sense of intelligence and calmness.
Qiu Qian suppressed his doubts, and began to perceive himself again, and after a while, he realized that his own halo was much more intense.
The halo of the other people is generally like a marshmallow, and the color of the circle is also very bright, while the Qiu poor one seems to be thorny, angular, and the color is much darker, giving people a sense of danger, as if it is a sharp sword, which may come out of the sheath and hurt people at any time.
Qiu Qiang looked at Xuzhuzi suspiciously, and said the situation.
Xu Zhuzi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Halo, you really have excellent spiritual energy, hehe, Lao Dao can only vaguely feel it, but he can't see any color." Your situation is why the old Tao would say that it is very dangerous. ”
"In fact, ordinary people who don't know martial arts will also have a halo, but it's just very weak, and people who are generally cultivated in the heart and matched in martial arts cultivation are more rounded, and they seem full and not impatient. ”
"The lack of heart will cause the halo to fluctuate violently and sharply, which is obviously caused by an imbalance in the body and the inability of the body to be fully comfortable. ”
Qiu Qiang thought about it for a long time when he heard this, in Qiu Qiang's previous life, he also knew that scientists had studied this aspect, and now his spiritual energy has skyrocketed, and his memory is also very clear.
In 1911, a doctor named Kilner observed the treatment of patients in the dark physiotherapy room of the hospital through a glass screen brushed with bianthocyanidinin dye.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred, and I saw circles of light appear on the patient's body surface.
Its color is magnificent, flickering and flickering, like an ethereal cloud, and like a condensed gas, which makes people feel mysterious, which is the glow of the human body, which is the so-called human energy field.
In the 21st century, this halo can also be seen when people use Karlyan cameras to photograph the human body. This was done by the Russian scientist Simon Davidovy Chikaryan. Davidovich? Kirlian).
When he accidentally photographed a high-voltage machine, he captured an invisible energy field that could not be seen with the naked eye, and reflected it in different colors in the phasing process.
When scientists studied this phenomenon, they found that each person has a unique glow pattern, and scientists in country M believe that human glow research can play a role in clinical diagnosis.
This is because some diseases show a blurry "corona" image that appears to be disturbed by clouds and fog when some diseases first appear, and a cloud-like glow when cancer cells grow.
In addition, scientists from country M have pointed out that before the disease occurs in the human body, the glow will present a blurry image, like a "corona" disturbed by clouds, while when the human cancer cells grow, a cloud-like glow will appear.
For example, they found that the glow that surrounded the fingertips of the drinkers was clear and bright when they first started serving their glasses. However, when people are drunk, the halo of their fingertips turns pale, and they also find that the aperture is weak and flickers inward, becoming dull and abnormal.
In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, the view of Western scholars is different, and the color halo mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is also similar to the concept of human glow in modern Western research.
However, in a strict sense, the glow phenomenon of the human body studied by the West with "Killian photography" is not the real human body itself luminescence, but the secondary luminescence phenomenon formed by the human body under the excitation of high-frequency and high-voltage electric fields.
In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, glow (halo) refers to the change of light and dark color and color similar to mist or fog on the surface of a certain part of the body under the influence of different physical states or psychological emotions of the human body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this energy field is the color halo (glow) of the human body that can be directly observed under normal light.
For example, the rich pictorial language of ancient China has long been a metaphor for these meanings.
When we describe a person as unlucky and in a bad mood, we say "a gloomy face", "a cloud full of gloom", "a face like ashes", and so on.
When you close your eyes and take in the facial features of these people, you can feel that these words do not describe changes in the facial expression muscles of the human body, but rather that their faces appear gray and cloudy, shrouded in a dull foggy color.
This is actually a description of the invisible energy field.
These are not nonsense, although Qiu Qiang cannot directly observe it with the naked eye now, but with the help of spiritual energy, he can 'see' clearly.
And there is a saying in the previous life, saying that everyone has a human energy field (or aura, halo), and at this time, it is determined by a person's state of consciousness.
The more positive the way things are treated, the easier it will be to realize one's wishes in life, and the more love, openness and joy people will feel!
That is to say, the so-called cultivation of the mind is actually the power of human thoughts, which comes from human beings themselves and from the energy field of the human body, but this energy field of human beings will change and weaken with a series of acquired behaviors and desires that are constantly generated.
Reducing desires, maintaining a peaceful mind, doing more good deeds, and maintaining a pure heart may increase this energy field and improve the cultivation of the mind.
For example, playing chess and blowing the flute, meditating and meditating are all means to reduce desires and maintain a state of mind, and it is also feasible to play Hongchen like Hong Qigong and insist on justice.
It can be said that virtue is the source of the body's energy field, and the cultivation of the mind is actually the cultivation of people's virtues and qualities.
The more single-minded a person's mind (belief) is, the greater the power. The nobler a person's moral character, the greater this power.
This may be why it is often said that "sincerity is spirit".
Some stupid and bold people can easily succeed in doing things, because they are decisive and single-minded, while smart people are suspicious by nature, and it is difficult for indecisive people to succeed in doing things.
The energy field is possessed by everyone, and it is actually the "righteousness" of people in traditional Chinese medicine.
And the so-called "righteous qi memory, evil cannot be done" in traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, this energy field can produce a kind of force, which protects itself when it is still and generates energy outward when it is moving.
That is, it is always surrounded by the human body, plays a role in maintaining physical health, and can also produce different forces according to different things.
Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that when this energy field acts externally, it is the same principle as the force in physics.
If it is said that every thought that a person has depends on the mind, then the energy field that a person has can also be said to be controlled by the mind, and the more desires in the heart, the more dispersed this energy field will naturally be, the smaller the external force will be, and the weaker the force used to protect oneself will be.
Conversely, if the mind desires less, the stronger the cohesion of this energy field, the greater the energy generated externally, and the greater the energy used to protect itself.
Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that when people are selfless, pure and indifferent (the realm of Zen in Buddhism), the energy to resist external aggression is the most powerful.
This is probably why the highest state of spiritual cultivation that people said in ancient times was that there was no desire and no desire.
Qiu Qian nodded as if he didn't understand, if this is the case, of course it is not possible for him to directly suppress hormone secretion through spiritual energy, the invisible energy field of the human body exists at all times, and Qiu Qiang obviously cannot adjust his hormone secretion at all times, it is simply self-deception and self-deception.
Only when the body itself is balanced, can this halo be mellow and free, not this deformed state that wants to change but cannot change.
