Chapter 57 Does spiritual practice actually evolve?
When Cao Liwen walked into the research room, the first thing he saw was Chu Fei, who had lost a lot of weight.
After all, a semi-awakened person with sharp eyes said, "Compared to last night, I have lost at least five kilograms in weight. What happened?"
Chu Fei looked excited, "Teacher, he had an epiphany! He had an epiphany last night!"
Teacher Cao rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Okay, what did I realize?"
Chu Fei opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter with Falun Dafa?"
"Oh?" Cao Liwen became interested, "Is that the second question I prepared for tomorrow? Since I have an epiphany, let's talk about it."
Chu Fei said slowly: "Cultivation, if it is explained by scientific theory, then it is not individual evolution!
Traditional evolution requires life to mutate from generation to generation, trial and error from generation to generation, elimination from generation to generation, and inheritance from generation to generation. It will take millions of years or even longer before we can take a small step forward.
As for spiritual practice, especially big data spiritual practice, they use scientific theories to guide the direction of evolution and use science and technology to try and make mistakes. It only takes more than ten years for a person to break through the first limit, the second limit, and even become an awakened person.
From millions of years to more than ten years, the biggest gap is:
Science and technology!”
Cao Liwen praised, “That’s very well said!
Originally, he planned to talk about the issue of Liudong yesterday in the first class tomorrow night, and to talk about spiritual practice in the second class.
Now to adjust things, let’s first talk about whether to practice or not.
What you said is very good and goes to the core. But the description is not scientific!
Don’t stare, he is not seeking to find fault, but since the practice of big data is not scientific, it must be summarized using scientific ideas.”
Chu Fei looked at Cao Liwen and waited silently.
Cao Liwen did not hang Chu Fei that time and said directly:
“In fact, the relationship between the natural evolutionary process of life and spiritual practice is very similar to the relationship between ancient science and technology and modern science and technology.
The development of ancient technology was based on summarizing experience in daily life and production, and then summarizing the experience into technology during the long production practice. This process can take hundreds of years and is extremely easy to be interrupted.
However, modern science cannot use mathematics as a tool to directly derive technology from scientific theories.
In the age of science, the birth of a technology can only take a few drafts and a few hours. The test of a technology can only take a virtual program running on a computer.
In the age of science and technology, the technology developed by humans in one year even exceeds all the technologies in ancient times combined!
If technology is like this, so is evolution.”
Cao Liwen paused to give Chu Fei time to digest and absorb, and then continued:
"Evolution before the scientific era was not natural evolution. Through hundreds of millions of years of cruel elimination, human beings were formed in the past.
But that kind of evolution is not guided by scientific theory, and completely contradicts the cruel law of survival of the fittest, and the "survival genes" left behind in the past.
Those who are the masters of surviving genes are not human beings.
But humans in nature are not perfect.
For example, as they mentioned before, there are problems with the recurrent laryngeal nerve, temples, retina, etc. Very often, the spine is prone to bending, and walking upright causes excessive pressure on the heart, which may lead to heart disease, etc.
Human beings are obviously advanced creatures, and their body structure is also very reasonable, but human beings with bare legs and bare hands can easily become food for wild beasts.
Why? Because of those flaws!
Every flaw is a shortcoming of the barrel. The sum of the shortcomings has caused the human body to have a high limit, but it appears to be weak.
Their body structure is more reasonable than that of cheetahs, but they are inferior to cheetahs.
In order to ensure that the body that is full of problems can run healthily, a considerable part of human beings' powerful intelligence is wasted on balancing the body.
But even so, human beings have reached the pinnacle of natural evolution. It is no longer possible to continue to make breakthroughs."
"To make themselves more perfect, human beings began to actively evolve for the first time. One of the representatives is martial arts!
However, the accumulation of martial arts still lacks scientific guidance. It still cannot start from phenomena and experiences, and then summarize the techniques after a long period of practice.
Through martial arts training, etc., you can make up for some shortcomings and make the human body stronger.
But it’s still not enough to make up for some fundamental flaws.”
Having said that, Cao Liwen asked Chu Fei again, "Chu Fei, let me try to explain what the 'fundamental flaw' he just said was? That question was already discussed in class."
Chu Fei gave the answer almost instantly: "No, epigene and core gene. Core gene is also called underlying gene.
There are about 26,000 human genomes, but there are only more than 3,200 core genes that determine the biological structure of the human body. Those are core genes. Changes in those genes can easily lead to congenital diseases, malformations, etc.
The remaining genes can be called epigenetic genes, which change the most intensely and are easily affected by the environment. If those genes are not changed well, they will be like hare lips at most. Although it is ugly, it is not easy.
Affects life and health.”
Cao Liwen nodded, "Yes. Martial arts, as well as some traditional training, all of which require hard work, and what can be changed is epigenes.
It is already difficult for natural evolution to reach core genes.
But if humans want to continue evolving, they must change their core genes!
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If they want to change their core genes, they need a tool. That tool is science and technology."
Then, Cao Liwen asked Chu Fei, "By now, do I have an essential understanding of big data practice?"
Chu Fei nodded.
"Let me sum it up."
Chu Fei tried to say: "The so-called practice means using scientific theories as a guide and using science and technology as a tool to unlock one's own core genes."
Cao Liwen shook his head, "In the practice of big data, turning on genes is only the primary stage. My thinking must go beyond the framework of genes."
Chu Fei said again, "Use science and technology to promote the active upgrading of life and transcend nature."
Cao Liwen wrote six big characters on the screen: Great power belongs to himself!
Then he clicked on those six words and said: "The so-called practice means compressing countless scientific achievements into oneself, and then completing the transformation of life and becoming a technology-intensive life form."
"Technology-intensive life form?" Chu Fei felt that his eyes suddenly became enlightened.
Cao Liwen: "Now they continue yesterday's topic, what is the will? Have I thought of it?"
Chu Fei shook his head.
Cao Liwen was very calm and said lightly, "Actually, human beings have no will at all!"
"Ah?" Chu Fei was stunned immediately. Without will, how could it be possible?
Cao Liwen wrote the word "东" on the big screen:
greedy!
"Rest for fifteen minutes. It's time for me to eat."
