There are things mixed into congenital births. I don't know its name!

Lao Tzu, his old-timer, is wise and wise. However, the wonderful pen did not make it clear what he wanted to talk about, and only reluctantly called it "Tao". It seems that some things are difficult to describe accurately in words. Feng Junzi once said that I was lucky to meet him, a man with good eloquence, who always tried to explain many of my questions, and if I couldn't get it with another spiritual teacher, he would pull me out with the soles of his shoes.

What is a elixir? It is a conscious energy? It may be a purely idealistic existence, because only the cultivator himself can feel it, and another person cannot verify it by means other than the spiritual experience, let alone use any experimental instrument to test it.

What is a baby? is an energetic consciousness, or rather a consciousness of being, whose origin precedes our existence as a person, and whose existence is re-manifested in the day after tomorrow. It may have a materialistic component, and it is another form of rebirth after returning to the basics.

But is that the case? I can say that I can say that I can't just say it in this way. The cultivation of a practitioner is not necessarily a skill, and in the end, it is more of a cultivation. Since ancient times, the highest question pursued by Taoist scholars has been to become an immortal? Is it immortal? What is behind the word immortal?

In the end, all the Tao is confronted with philosophical thinking above the scientific level. Find the philosophical origin behind idealism, materialism, consciousness, and existence. There is no answer to this question in the laboratory, but a long time ago, people sought it from their hearts, and then religion was born, with Allah, God, Buddha or Tao. The reason why Lao Tzu and Confucius were saints is also because of this.

However, there is another group of people in the world who have adopted the empirical method, using themselves to verify the empirical method, using their hearts or bodies, and over time forming a series of rituals or means, which is the cultivation of the world, and there are also various schools of practice. Gradually, the means replaced the goal, and many cultivators pursued only magical powers.

This passage was not told to me by the Wind Gentleman, but I thought of it myself during my meditation. Feng Junzi said that I was impetuous, and I needed to sit quietly for a while to settle down before cultivating. As a result, I sat in the classroom and thought about it so much, and this was probably the first time I had consciously realized it since I learned the Dan Dao. The reason why I think of so much mess is entirely because of the political teacher on the podium. Now I am in a politics class, but the teacher does not teach the textbook, but talks and goes off-topic.

Our political teacher's surname is Tang, and he is a young old man in his sixties who is a national special teacher. According to his age, he should have retired with honor, but the old man still insisted on teaching for another three years, saying that he would take this last class of students to the end. Teacher Tang gave a lecture very strangely, did not take a textbook, did not bring a lesson plan, picked up a piece of chalk on the podium with his empty hand, and often waved it at will. Principal He and the director of teaching and prescription have a lot of opinions about this old man, but there is no way to deal with him, and Teacher Tang is the only person in this school who has the privilege and does not care about the authority of the school leadership.

Old man Tang has been a teacher in this school for forty years. There are many of his disciples all over the world, and now they are in high positions, and there are many high-ranking officials in the province, but they have always respected the old man. The old man was once beaten by rightists, lived in a cadre school, and was also criticized in the streets with a high hat. But this old man Tang is different from Principal Liu back then, his body is strong, and he is still alive and kicking after tossing. Such a person doesn't take the principal seriously, and the school leader has no temper at all, so he can only mumble behind his back, and the education bureau above can't do anything about this old man.

Teacher Tang was standing on the podium and sighed with emotion: "The education you have received is a failed generation of education, which can only produce craftsmen and masters! I have been teaching for more than 40 years, just take the textbooks you use, and in a few years, you will have to tear down the previous content and replace it with a new one." Teachers cannot teach students eternal thoughts, but they are always teaching these doomed dogmas...... I suggest that the content of the political course should be reformed, and that the content of ideological education and revolutionary history should be dedicated, and at least half of the class time should be devoted to teaching three very important knowledge -- etiquette, logic, and philosophy! If you don't study these three courses, you will be crippled after graduation! After you graduate, don't say that you are my teacher Tang's student, and I don't want people to know that what I teach is a waste product. ”

The students wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh when they heard this passage, what kind of teacher taught what students were, no wonder there were people like Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei in our class. Teacher Tang also said loudly on the podium: "It is said that China is a country of etiquette, fart! Let me ask you, from childhood to adulthood, who has received systematic education in etiquette at school or at home?...... The only place where etiquette education is now conducted in China is before diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs go abroad for the first time...... I usually don't know how to understand the righteousness of the family and the country in times of crisis?...... Sacrificing oneself to blow up bunkers and plugging bullet holes in one's chest is certainly education, but there are more important things such as talking, walking, queuing up to eat, and no one teaches them. ”

The education of walking and eating is more important than the education of sacrificing oneself to bomb the bunker? This is what Old Man Donald dared to say, and if he changed to another teacher, he would probably go home early. The old man came today with interest, and said endlessly: "Education is not just about telling students what is right and what kind of thinking they should have. It's about teaching students how to think, to find a thought. If you don't study logic, it's hard to know why other people think the way they do, and if you don't study philosophy, you don't have a soul. ...... An idealistic Hegel is greater and wiser than a hundred vulgar materialists. The teaching director who is in charge of your ideological education will definitely not have the realm and depth of his thoughts than Lao Tzu more than 2,000 years ago......"

Old man Tang mentioned Lao Tzu, and my thoughts began to slip from this time, and I remembered the Dan Tao I learned. My cultivation of the Four Doors and Twelve-Folds Dan Dao has reached the realm of "Great Medicine", not far from the "Spirit Pill", but I still don't know what this Spirit Pill is?

......

"Ishino, let me ask you, what is going mad?" this is what the gentleman said to me yesterday under the Zhuangyuan Bridge.

In many martial arts novels and kung fu works, when it comes to going mad, the martial arts will be wasted, and the life will be lost. But I didn't know what it meant to go mad, so I could only ask the wind gentleman: "Is there a mistake in the practice, such as practicing qigong?"

Feng Junzi: "Don't talk to me about qigong, I don't know much about that! Going off fire and falling into a demon are two different things entirely, and they are not as terrible as the legend says. ...... Ishino: Read the contents of this newspaper. ”

Feng Junzi pulled out half a crumpled newspaper from under his buttocks, I took it and flattened it and read: "The branch president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China embezzled public funds to gamble......"

Wind Gentleman: "Driven by greed." ”

"A young and promising department-level cadre buries his mistress's future ......"

Wind Gentleman: "Fall into the devil because of desire." ”

I put down the newspaper and asked, "They're not cultivators either, why are they also called madness?"

Wind Gentleman: "You can say yes or no. Going off fire is a Dan Dao term, which refers to the wrong idea when collecting medicine and forming Dan...... Entering the demon is a meditation term, which refers to the illusion of the mind when entering the time, and the person is addicted to it and cannot break out of it. It's not terrible to go crazy, the heat is wrong, it's probably a waste, it's a big medicine, and you need to start over. Entering the realm of demons is nothing more than meditating, and the mind cannot move forward, and it can no longer seek liberation. ”

"It's not a big deal, but I've heard that it's scary!"

Feng Junzi smiled lightly: "It's just a rumor." There is a saying that since ancient times, how many people have cultivated immortals? You and I have indeed never seen real immortals with our own eyes. But have you ever seen a person who has gone mad as a true cultivator? Have you ever seen someone who has died or been injured while learning the Dan Tao or meditating? Don't say you haven't seen it, or even heard of it. ”

"But I've heard of people who become neurotic through practice. ”
