Chapter 400: The Ghost Child
"The body is formed by the blood of the father and mother, and the ghosts and gods move in."
The ancient scripture "The Inner Perspective of the Taishang Laojun" describes the formation of life in this way.
Taking human life as an example, pregnancy is caused by the participation of "ghosts and gods" in the pregnancy.
The scriptures believe that without the participation of "ghosts and gods", conception cannot be successful.
The "Liu Yao" hexagram determines the six relatives' concept of pregnancy. If the official ghost line does not come to the hexagram, the fetus has no spiritual consciousness, and the fetus will become stillborn.
Accordingly, there is a saying among the people that "people are living ghosts, and ghosts are dead people."
Therefore, many people do not understand why some couples are healthy but infertile.
This ancient scripture discusses in detail the reasons for various failures.
The essence of "ghosts and gods" is "qi", the gathering, dispersion and convergence of the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth.
Chinese philosophy believes that "qi" is the master of all things, and Qi is in the form of life when it is in the form of body. As the saying goes, "Heaven and earth combine Qi, all things are born by themselves, and all things are born with one Qi."
Therefore, all things are born with qi, and they become the soul when they get qi, and death is the dispersion of qi. As the saying goes, "death of qi".
There are about three ways to write the word "qi" in the Huaxia Taoist Sect, and it also represents three meanings.?
1. The character "Qi" is the character "Qi" in ancient text. The above "Wu" means the ancient character "Wu", and the following character "灬" means the variant of fire.
In ancient times, Taoist books on alchemy and classics mentioned "qi", and the word "qi" is often used. It can also be said that "qi" is called "qi".
That is, the "primordial spirit" that is received by the father's sperm and mother's blood is called "primordial Qi".
2. The character "风" is also the character "风" in ancient Chinese, and most of them use the character "风" in Zhuanwen and seal script.
To emphasize, the word "gas" means the atmosphere, various gases and smells in nature.
3. The word "qi" is a common character for future generations. However, from the perspective of ancient Taoism and Chinese medicine, this is the "qi" that has the effect of respiration after people eat rice grains.?
Those who practice alchemy know that life is between inhalation and inhalation, and Qi enters the way of ghosts and gods. Therefore, performing fasting, sacrifices, and communicating with ghosts and gods in the universe, heaven and earth is the greatest fear and respect for nature and life.
Taoist believes that things that truly exist beyond the body and human cognition are called "ghosts and gods".
That is, what is metaphysical is called Tao, and what is the inaccurate yin and yang is called god!
Based on various religious scriptures and scriptures, ghosts and gods have three forms:
1. The god of nature comes from the nature of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, and is in the nature of man.
People in ancient times believed that all things have spirits.
In ancient times, humans formed natural personality into gods by fearing the heaven and earth and worshiping totem, including Feng Bo Yu Shi, Lei Gong and Lightning Mother, River and Sea Dragon King, Home Land and Land King, Kitchen Lord, etc.
If a person does not read the classics, he will not respect the heaven and earth, nor respect his ancestors, and does not know that there are "ghosts and gods" and will be confused about his nature and will not know how to respect and treat nature well.
The "God of Nature" is based on protecting the natural environment of the earth on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is about eliminating various karma and diseases.
In the past experiences of cultivating disasters, ghosts and gods, and finding good and evil, many people who have started construction and suffered diseases and disasters, some have destroyed the mountain body, and they have collided with mountain gods and suffered diseases; some have cut down big trees, and the tree gods have caused disasters and diseases; some have waste grains and food, some have caused disasters and diseases, some have dug up dragon veins and died, and some have caused evils and were attacked by animals such as insects, snakes, venomous bees, and a considerable number of them are related to the cause and effect of the gods of nature and human behavior.
If you have major family and country affairs, lose your natural way, destroy the environment, and even suffer frequent disasters, you will inevitably be retribution for the natural ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
2. The soul exists.
After the body of sentient beings dies, their spiritual consciousness exists in the form of souls, which is called wandering ghosts.
People from the Taoist sect believe that after the death of a mortal, their souls are immortal, and the same is true for other lives, animals and plants to die.
After a person dies, his "soul" can still be used as a ghost, that is, "those who dies when a person becomes a ghost". When a person dies, he is called ghost! All of this regards ghosts and gods as personality gods, and believes that after a person dies, his soul can bring disasters and blessings to people.
The ghosts and gods not only exist, but can also communicate with the living through "dreams", "being possessed", "reincarnation and body grabbing", etc. There are also sayings that ghosts and gods borrow human bodies, animals repaid grace, seek life and debts, and wealth, as well as disasters that ghosts and gods inspire the rise of heaven and earth.
The Taoist sect believes that killing animals and life will cause them to take revenge after their death, or committing illnesses, or taking poison, or even taking their lives.
It should be known that when a person’s mind arises, the heaven and the earth know it. When a thought arises, all ghosts and gods in the three realms and six realms know it. There are gods three feet above your head.
Ghosts and gods observe good and evil in people, and bring disaster and good fortune. Ghosts and gods do not care about the wealth, poverty and humbleness of sentient beings, and fairly implement the law of cause and effect. Therefore, friends can be deceived, but ghosts and gods cannot be deceived.
3. Practice the Tao and become a god of immortals.
All living beings in the three realms accumulate good deeds and virtues, constantly benefiting sentient beings, and practice.
After enlightenment, people, animals and plants understand their minds and nature, be compassionate, and return to the "Tao", and the merit energy obtained is respected as "Immortals" after crossing the six realms of reincarnation. It also refers to those who have realized the truth of heaven and earth, possess extraordinary abilities and perfect wisdom, those who have realized, practiced, and practiced the Tao. Of course, it also includes the gods whose souls are believed by people after their death.
Fourth, the mind is the gateway between ghosts and gods. The three religions are united, but only the mind is cultivated.
All living beings who are still struggling in the sea of suffering should let go of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt in reading scriptures, stay away from delusions, discrimination and attachment, and return to the origin of pure and clear awareness, the Tao. Only in this way can we escape from the sea of suffering and forever escape from reincarnation.
The mind of a person dies and the mind of a Tao is alive. The reason why sentient beings cannot obtain the true path is that they have a false mind. People are in the Tao, and the Tao is in the heart.
Only when a pure and quiet person can you enter the true "Tao" and a sincere heart can you sense the heaven and earth and understand the way of "ghosts and gods".
"Being pregnant with Liujia" is a saying that people refer to a woman getting pregnant in daily life.
Literally speaking, "Liujia" seems to be a synonym for the fetus, but people are not very clear about why "Liujia" refers to the fetus.
The concept of "Liujia" originated from the ancient people's use of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
"Jia" is the heavenly stem, thus forming six groups of stems and branches that are composed of Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin, which are called "Liujia".
Jiji was the most widely used in the early days of "Liujia". Calculate the stems and branches to record the time, so that the concept of "Liujia" can penetrate into the broadest public thoughts.
As the most basic mathematical tool, Liujia has become an important component of mathematical techniques such as calendar, astronomy, and formulas.
The relationship between "Liujia" and the body is influenced by the concept of "harmony between man and nature".
As the saying goes, "The head is round and the feet are square and the earth are like the earth. The sky has four seasons, five elements, nine stars, three hundred and sixty days, and people have four limbs, five treasures, nine orifices, and three hundred and sixty sections."
This shows that people have already matched the 360-year-old days of the whole body.
Due to its time and space characteristics, "Liujia" plays a fundamental role in Taoist rituals, spells, health preservation and other activities, and further forms a unique divine system.
The Taoist Sutra says: "The sun and the moon are the stars, the five elements and four seasons, the six Jia Yin and Yang, and all things are shaking, and they are not empty. They all have gods and kings. For example, if people show it, they fear it and dare not act rashly."
Taoist sect believes that "Liujia" is the same as "sun, moon and stars" and "five elements, four seasons" are controlled by gods and kings.
The scriptures also believe that Liujia is the son of the five elements, and has three levels. The superior talisman book enters the upper Yuan, which is called Laojun's secret three talismans and six talismans.
Those who encounter this world have achieved success in their determination and practice, and get rid of all diseases. They have six gods and six Jias, called Lingfei, and the five elements and six Jias are the lowest. This is called the third level and six Jias. Those who study the Tao must practice and worship it.
From the perspective of Taoism, the "Liujia" that a woman has multiple meanings, not only refers to the essence of heaven and earth that the Liujia god gives to the fetus' body and functions, but also refers to the role of the Liujia god protecting the fetus' safe birth.
"Liujia" is first manifested as the essence of heaven and earth that gives the fetus body and functions.
Those who practice Taoism include "the six families are Jia Yin wood, which is the main bones; the second Jia Chen wind is the main breath; the third Jia Wu fire is the main warmth; the fourth Jia Shen metal is the main teeth; the fifth Jia Xu earth is the main muscle; and the six Jia Zi water is the main blood. It is as stated in the "Xuan Miao Sutra"...
This passage tells the details of the "Six Families" that make up the five shades. The "Six Families" are first manifested as Liujia, namely Jiayin, Jiachen, Jiawu, Jiashen, Jiaxu, and Jiazi.
Among them, the five elements attributes of the earthly branch determine the five elements attributes of the five Jia: Yin is wood, Jia Yin is also wood, Wu is fire, Jia Wu is also fire, and so on.
