There is a philosophical question: How to determine whether you are awake or in a dream?
At first glance, this question sounds like a question only raised by idealists, because for materialism, this question is not a problem at all, and Marx’s theory of existence and all forms of material existence are based on seeing: in dreams
Everything cannot be seen in reality, so from a materialist point of view, it is actually very easy to distinguish between dreams and non-dreams.
But there is also a saying that everything that exists is reasonable.
The existence of idealism naturally has its value and significance, so back to the original question, how do you determine whether you are in a dream or awake? If what you are experiencing now is just a nap in the senior year of high school
Dream, when the bell rings, you will be in a state of intense preparation for the exam. So, how can you determine whether your current consciousness is active?
Illusions are, to a certain extent, equivalent to dreams, but different from them.
The human cortex contains criss-crossing nerve fibers, and the junctions between nerve cells are excitable. From these two points, the cerebral cortex can be considered to be composed of several excitatory units or excitatory elements.
The connections between nerves have three characteristics: the first is divergent incoming; the second is complete strength; and the third is convergence.
When the excitatory signal enters a part of such a strong network structure, as a processing characteristic of this part, as long as there is a signal input, there will be a corresponding moderate signal output. When there are signal inputs related to several synapses,
There will be interrelated signal outputs. Therefore, it becomes an unrealistic illusion or dream.
So how do you know if you are in a dream?
Some people may say something as simple as "Just slap yourself", but think about it from another perspective: you know that it will hurt if you slap yourself, so how can you be sure that when you are dreaming, you know that it will hurt if you slap yourself in the face?
Wouldn't it be copied to that void action and be perceived virtually?
Buddhism emphasizes that meditation and lucid dreaming can promote each other.
If you have practiced meditation, it will be easier to realize that you are dreaming in your dreams; conversely, once you can lucid dream, it will be easier for you to fall into silence during meditation. This is because both meditation and lucid dreaming have
Helps enhance people's spirituality.
The "Diamond Sutra" says: "All conditioned dharma is like a dream." Su Dongpo wrote in the poem "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgia": "Life is like a dream."
Dreams are indeed a great revelation. When you dream, if you dream that you are penniless and have no money to buy rice or groceries, and you don’t know that you are dreaming, you will feel very distressed; when you wake up
, knowing that this is a dream, would you still be troubled by these things?
Of course not.
In essence, the so-called "real life" is actually a dream, but the difference is: people dream in sleep, which only lasts for a few hours at most; while the dream of life can last for decades or even more than a hundred years.
It depends on the length of a person's life. When a person dies, nothing he owns in the world can be taken away, just like when a person wakes up from a dream, nothing in the dream can be brought with him.
So, after realizing that "life is like a dream", will you become negative?
I secretly thought that after realizing that "life is like a dream", I would face life with a more positive attitude. Because I know that since everything in the world is like clouds in the end, then I can face all the gains and losses in the world calmly.
Honor and disgrace.
If I want to do something, I won't worry about failure and feel nervous. I will just treat it as playing a game. At the same time, at a deeper level, I know that although everything in this world will eventually be destroyed (such as
The earth will also be destroyed in 5 billion years), but there is one "thing" that will never be destroyed. What is this "thing"?
This is what every enlightened person realizes (called "Buddha nature" or "self-nature" in Zen Buddhism).
In fact, in most cases, when you can control your consciousness, you are no longer dreaming.
Most people live for decades, and their dreams are always driven. They rarely control their actions or thoughts in their dreams. When they dream, it is like watching a movie. You are always watching yourself do it.
What, there is almost no way to control what you do, but when you have consciousness and subjective initiative, it is different.
Dreams are like this, but illusions are different.
In "Inception", the method of distinguishing reality from dreams is dream totem, which is actually incorrect.
If you use a spinning top to judge whether you are in a dream, you will probably get the wrong conclusion.
The reason is that your brain knows how the top works, so it is likely to transfer this knowledge to the dream. Therefore, the top in the dream may or may not stop, and other items may not work. In other words, the top in the dream may or may not stop.
This is a very unreliable result and therefore cannot be used as a basis for judgment.
This seems to be an endless loop again. How can you determine that what you are in now is definitely not a dream? Even if there are many ways to help, how can you feel that when you wake up, you must really wake up and not be in a dream?
In the dream, return to the first level of dream?
The current situation seems to be very consistent with the situation of the four people.
"What did you just say? - 'Let go of my well girl'? When did that big girl become yours?"
Wo Gua was teasing Li Lvyan heartlessly. Li Lvyan's face turned red and he secretly glanced at Jing Qiongshuang. However, Jing Qiongshuang and her black glasses had solemn faces. It was obvious that due to the seriousness of the problem, there was no trace of it at all.
My mind is wandering here.
On the contrary, it was Li Lvyan——
He felt a little thankful and a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't know what he was thankful for and what he was disappointed about.
Black glasses looked at Li Lvyan cautiously, "What do you think?"
In this situation, Li Lvyan's attitude is comparable to anyone else's.
After personal experiments by Li Luyi, Jing Qiongshuang, and Wo Gua, they have fully determined that in the illusion, they can exert their subjective initiative and consciously adjust themselves, which is almost equivalent to reality, but they only see
The situation is just different.
"The occurrence of this kind of situation must be regular and not random."
Li Lvyan looked at the sarcophagus on the altar: every time a problem occurs, it is inseparable from this sarcophagus. Even dogs don't believe it when they say that this sarcophagus did not play a role. Moreover, it seems that every time an illusion occurs,
Did the butterfly effect come about after seeing what was inside the sarcophagus?
What is there in the sarcophagus that is so shameless that it requires this person to set up countless illusions to protect it, so that any would-be person would be trapped in countless illusions, unable to extricate themselves?
What I saw for the first time was a beautiful and fragrant woman. What I saw for the second time was the Hedyotis diffusa that can produce hallucinations——
However, it was later proven that even when they saw these two things, everyone was in an illusion. Therefore, the woman and Hedyotis diffusa they saw were not necessarily completely real. It was very possible that the real thing inside them was
What is left is something else.
The eyes of the black glasses narrowed slightly, and he thought of a possibility here: there was an order from above, and Li Gaihua left a message in the disappeared ancient country of Loulan. This message can directly tell the recipient the "thing" that can change the fate of the country.
position, that is to say, the value of this message itself is an object that needs to be protected.
Black Glasses has been curious before: Why is this information hidden in this desolate and uninhabited ancient country of Loulan, where no one can even set foot?
If you really want people to know, why not just leave it in writing, such as notes, and leave it to direct descendants such as Li Luyi and Jin Yuanbao for safekeeping?
But if he didn't want people to know, then why could the Commander-in-Chief be able to dig out that piece of information from a few words of history and that it must be hidden in some form under Loulan?
The commander-in-chief overcame all objections and let himself lead the team and organized this trip to Loulan. The fundamental purpose was to get that message. Now that he was in the center of the vortex, how could he be willing to return without success?
What is even more puzzling is that after more than 20 years, this message is only known as one sentence, but one sentence can be conveyed in many forms. Li Reform directly turned this sentence into
Where is a piece of text engraved so that people can understand it after seeing it? Or is it leaving some hints, and it will take many twists and turns to find the final answer?
Or——
The black glasses pursed his lips and said nothing, but looked at the sarcophagus with burning eyes——
Or perhaps, the key information that can change the destiny of a country is hidden in the sarcophagus in front of you, and the various mysterious settings of the altar were used by Li Gaiwen. In the end, only the person who cracked the secrets of this place can do it.
Is it possible to get close?
This guess is actually not unreasonable, because according to the commander-in-chief's guess: Li Reform seems to have an absolute confidence in the people around him. Will this confidence be transferred to his descendants in disguise?
Did he expect that after more than 20 years, the Snow Leopard Commando would find his descendants and would need their cooperation? And if Li Gaihua had been a non-staff member of the Snow Leopard Commando, he would have tried every possible means to do so.
, let this secret that I have been exploring for decades, in the most secret way, only be known to my descendants, so that others cannot guess it?
The Snow Leopard Commando, a secret intelligence special search team established just after the founding of the People's Republic of China, actually did not develop to such a huge momentum at the beginning. However, there is a little-known reason why the country did not hesitate to expand funds and resources later: at that time
The top management of the Snow Leopard Commando had been infiltrated too much by "them", so they had to expand the team, and Li Reform was directly recommended to the Snow Leopard Commando by Jiang Yunsu more than 20 years after the Snow Leopard Commando was established -
—
Li Gengfa was worthy of being recommended by Jiang Yunsu. In just a few years, he used his mind to grasp the clues of "that thing" that the organization had spent almost a century failing to find, and used evidence to prove that it was indeed
traces of existence.
In the following decades, he tried countless methods, and finally found the location of this "thing" and made a bold attempt, which really changed a small history to some extent.
.
Don't underestimate this seemingly "tiny" history. This "tiny" contains countless possibilities.
This possibility is nothing else. Speaking of which, if Black Glasses guessed correctly, this "possibility" that has been reversed is that Li
What Green Ant has already seen, 701403 (Y3) Long March 2, was successfully launched.
No matter how much effort the designers spent on the 701403 (Y3) project, and how much manpower and material resources were invested, it still failed time and time again. The fundamental reason is not that our technology and resources are not better than other countries. Many things in history have failed.
Success requires a special moment.
Just like a butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. Powerful, effective, and extremely destructive tornadoes are not actually just that.
Come on, it requires many small opportunities that happen one after another or at the same time to trigger a deadly storm.
When the whole country was gloomy and unhappy about the failure of 701403 (Y3), Li Gaihua used "that thing" to make a "tiny attempt", but this time it seemed "tiny"
"Attempt", 701403 (Y3) project, it succeeded.
Engineers use craftsmanship and hard work to create utensils.
Before this, the huge problems that excellent designers and engineers could not solve were changed by such a "small turning point".
The old writer Ke Ling once made this comment in the article "Send Zhang Ailing from afar" written in the 1980s -
"China's new literature movement has always been in conjunction with the political tide, and it is difficult to distinguish cause and effect. The literary revolution of the 'May 4th' era - anti-imperialist and anti-feudal; the revolutionary literature of the 1930s - class struggle; the Anti-Japanese War period - the same hatred of the enemy, anti-Japanese
Saving the nation is of course the mainstream. Otherwise, it is regarded as outrageous and heretical, which is not tolerated by orthodoxy and does not attract readers' ideas. This is a good tradition that is not without flaws. The advantage is that it is closely related to the fate of the motherland.
They are closely related and follow the trends of the times, like a shadow; the disadvantage is that it has greatly reduced the literary territory...I have calculated on my fingers, and there is no room for Zhang Ailing at any stage in the huge literary world."
It was the fall of Shanghai that provided Zhang Ailing with a stage to show her talents.
"Fortunate or unfortunate, it's hard to say."
Whether it is "Death is as serious as jealousy, and life is not the right time to suffer sorrow" in "Wuchang Prison Letters", or "Although the husband is upright and talented, he will end up in poverty at the wrong time"...
…
The most common laments expressed by these talented men throughout the ages are mostly complaints about "the time is not right."
In fact, these four words, at first glance, seem like the indignant expressions of incompetent people, but are they correct?
When playing billiards, the ball does not go into the hole, but your mind wanders away first. In order to save face, you will naturally say, "The pole is too old, the hole is too small, the case is too high, and the condition is not good."
In fact, if we put it this way, "untimely" here is indirectly equivalent to "opportunity".
"Fate" is an excuse for the weak, and "luck" is an excuse for the strong.
Your failure in doing something comes down to "fate", and that cannot be changed no matter what, because the limitations and talents of asxs are so clear here that it is almost despairing.
If it is sublimated to the future, the "fate" here includes a kind of "class limitation" that is inherent in human beings.
In modern history, there was a famous peasant uprising - the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The fundamental reason why the peasants led the war failed was that the class was not the representative of the new productive forces and production relations, and they were unable to overcome the inherent class limitations of small producers.
Among them, the term "class limitations" is worthy of careful consideration.
"Class limitations", the implication is why did you fail in doing this?
It is because you have this "class limitation", which basically means that the fundamental reason for your failure is that you are you.
You are you, which is the fundamental reason why you will fail in doing this. In other words, even if the second reason, the third reason, the fourth reason... do not exist, you will not succeed, because you are you,
You are you and that is the fundamental reason for your failure. This is called "class limitation".
The lethality of these five words is comparable to that of a doomsday weapon, and it is also the highest level of swearing. It is often hard for ordinary people to insult their opponents, but "class limitations" are scolded to the core. You are you, and you failed to do this.
The fundamental reason is, don’t talk about anything else. Even if other influencing factors do not exist, you will still not succeed. As long as you are still you one day, you will never have any hope of success!
Countless parents hope that their children will not lose at the starting line, but the more they struggle, the more they find that even if their children truly satisfy themselves at the starting line, they still lose in the end.
Some people may argue here that "God rewards those who work hard", but what you say is all false——
But if "God rewards hard work," what does heaven reward? What does humanity reward?
The "loss" here is actually not caused by insufficient efforts, but due to class limitations, that is, the "class limitations" that people often cannot get rid of, but try to get rid of.
If a person has been with heroes all his life and lived in the shadow of heroes, then from the day he joined, like everyone standing on the front line, he has become bound by class limitations.
loser.
If you consider the infinite complexity of nature, perhaps success is too accidental, and failure is the norm.
