2197 Self-realization
All sentient beings: whether they are born from eggs, whether they are born from wombs, whether they are born from moisture, whether they are born by transformation; whether they have color, whether they are colorless; whether they have thoughts, whether they have no thoughts, whether they have thoughts, and whether they have no thoughts...
As early as thousands of years ago, Sakyamuni classified all living beings in the world in detail. Some classifications have been verified by science. Of course, there are also some classifications that cannot be understood by science.
What does it mean to be without form, to have no thoughts, to have no thoughts but not to have no thoughts?
Even if the ghosts made up by the world out of ignorance may be regarded as colorless, they still exist with thoughts. Ghosts without thoughts are not welcomed by the world.
But there is no color and no thought. If there is no thought or no thought, it is just a creature that exists in the form realm and the formless realm.
The practice of meditation is based on a clear and thorough understanding of the desire realm, and the observation of the form realm and the formless realm.
People in the world live in the realm of desire. The so-called science has been observing the realm of desire. Naturally, it cannot fathom the situation of colorlessness and thoughtlessness.
Human beings have a physical body.
In Shen Yue's view, this color is not that color. The body in the color realm is closer to quantification, while the body in the desire realm, that is, the human body, is solidified by quantum observation and operates under the urging of the seven emotions and six desires.
product.
This product is unanimously considered by Taoist and Buddhist practitioners to be highly problematic.
Therefore, Lao Tzu always said - Favor and disgrace are like frights, great troubles are like the body. The reason why I have serious patients is because I have a body.
I think the body is a big scourge. Favor or disgrace is the lowest priority. Regardless of favor or disgrace, you should remain alert to it instead of being addicted to it. Of course, no one wants to accept "humiliation". What about "favor"? You want to
I was shocked to realize that there is a problem. It is very valuable to always feel that your body is a disaster.
Sakyamuni also used the metaphor that the body is like a burning house, and warned believers to find joy in jumping out of the house of fire.
These two philosophers from the great Eastern countries have never met each other, but their views are surprisingly consistent. This is simply because they are both aware of the problems of the human body, and they pass down the practice methods to overcome the defects of the human body.
Of course, where do you go after leaving your body? Lao Tzu's answer is - if you can send your body to the world, if you can send it to the world. And the answer given by Sakyamuni is that the nature of the mind is eternal, and only the nature of the mind is our true destination.
Although people like Shen Nong have broken away from the shackles of the physical body, they are still in the realm of colorlessness and thought. They are more similar to Laozi's Tutianxia and have entered the true fourth dimension. The practitioners who have attained enlightenment and entered one dimension are approaching eternity.
In modern times, the five-layer structure established by Maslow was only for the human body. It did not establish a model for near eternity and was closer to secular concepts.
Physiological, safety, social needs, respect and self-actualization…
According to Maslow, these five levels are only after the bottom level is satisfied as much as possible, then humans will advance to the higher levels. This means that after humans have satisfied their physiological needs, they will then seek a sense of security to stabilize this need.
Enjoy it for a long time, and then you will experience emotional emptiness, loneliness and coldness...
Petty bourgeoisie and death-seeking are both hovering at the third level of Maslow's theoretical hierarchy. However, petty bourgeoisie is more sensible and sticks to the bottom line of safety without daring to cross it, while suicide-seeking people ignore the previous safety boundaries due to physiological impulses.
Therefore, the leisure of petty bourgeoisie is always there, and the cemetery of the deceased is always green.
Therefore, pornography, gambling, and drugs are repeatedly banned, because they are the needs that are rooted in the lowest level of the world.
Spring is here, everything revives, and it’s the season of animal breeding again...
Animals in the animal world mostly go into estrus during specific seasons. There was originally no difference between humans and animals in this regard, but due to their strong greed, they have now developed to the point where they are in estrus all the time.
Maslow seems to have a very clear view of people, believing that after human beings are satisfied at the bottom three levels, they will eventually get rid of the control of animal nature, take gaining respect as their life goal, and then realize the value of life.
But Maslow underestimated the attractive power of the bottom.
If there is no enlightened mind, how can the desire be filled?
The world's people have tried their best to fill the pit of desire at the bottom, and have long since torn off the last fig leaf, forgetting the need for respect, which is commonly known as losing the moral bottom line.
The Buddha said that it is difficult to practice Dharma in the last days because he has long seen through the continuous evolution of human beings that the abyss of desire has become like an abyss. In the past, if human beings wanted to practice, they only needed to jump out of a mud pit, but in the last days of practice, it is difficult to jump out of the bottom.
abyss.
But after all, there are still people who can jump out.
As long as you are aware, as long as you wake up, as long as you remember that you came to this world, you should have the goal of self-realization. When you clearly realize this goal and persevere in carrying it out, you will jump directly to the fifth level of Maslow's hierarchy.
Self-actualization!
And this is the entry requirement to enter the practice, because in the process of practice, you have to get rid of yourself!
Just like you need a boat and raft to cross a river, now that you have reached the other side, you need to leave the boat and raft!
Practicing without this intention is just wandering around in the lower four levels of the Masnot level, thinking that you have achieved enlightenment, but in fact you have only achieved loneliness.
Are you empty? Are you lonely?
When you are empty and lonely, of course you are not practicing, because you are at the third level of Maslow's level.
By analogy, you will know whether your so-called practice is true practice.
When people in the world are just struggling with physical and safety issues, all practices have nothing to do with spiritual practice.
Shen Yue is a great practitioner and has a clear understanding of the progress of his practice. Naturally, he can clearly see the various states of the desire realm. He knows that Zhao Jijue is aware of it.
The difference between awakening and being brainwashed is that the former is conscious from the heart and realizes that what you are doing is correct, while the latter is blind faith and blind obedience, thinking that what others say is correct.
What others say may be correct, but being correct will also lead to obsession in those who don’t know how to adapt. Only when you truly understand what the core of correctness is, can you be enlightened!
Chicken soup is nutritious, but drinking a large amount can still cause gastrointestinal overload.
Nutrients must also be absorbed in order to be used correctly by the body. Isn’t the same true true?
What Shen Yue was thinking suddenly appeared in the sky and was shown in front of everyone. Everyone was slightly surprised and then watched with all their attention, even the night star Shen was no exception.
Shen Yue's heart moved slightly, remembering that a similar situation had occurred in Tianziji.
"Tianya?"
Back in Tianziji, Tianya once read Shen Yue's thoughts and presented them to everyone. Although Shen Yue believed that for many people, a large amount of information would make them feel at a loss, Tianya believed that since it was a beneficial idea
, more people should know about it.
Tianya's voice came over immediately, "It's me, and it's also an intelligent AI."
When she saw Shen Yue's thoughts, Qin Si was surprised at first, with a wary expression, and then she tapped her fingers quickly, as if she was responding to some kind of invasion...
When she heard what Tianya said, Qinsi's fingers froze, "Are you an intelligent AI?" She felt unbelievable for a moment.
Now that everyone is in the laboratory of the apocalyptic people, Qin Si has complete control over all the technology in the laboratory, but Shen Yue's thought display is not what Qin Si expected - she must obtain the other party's consent to do so.
