Chapter 107 On the Way of Practice
Since ancient times, human practice has followed two methods of practice, one is to cultivate the body and the other is to cultivate the spirit. Those who practice the body are warriors, those who practice the spirit are practitioners, and those who practice the martial arts and practitioners are collectively called practitioners.
In the practitioners, the martial artists occupy more than 90%, and the monks are less than one percent in a row. The truth here is very easy to understand, because the body is real, and anyone can feel and touch their own inner body, so they can find ways to strengthen the body, or even step into the threshold of practice.
And monism is the cultivation of the spirit. The spirit is illusory. Even in modern times, the monks have disappeared. The world no longer believes that there were monks in the world, and even the so-called science will not recognize the existence of the soul.
There are many reasons for this, which can't be explained in a few words. But there are probably a few reasons why people can understand why.
First, 10,000 out of 10,000 people can touch and feel their bodies, and even tens of thousands of people can practice martial arts, and even a few of them can achieve extremely high achievements. And only one hundred of ten thousand people may be able to truly settle their hearts, and then perhaps only dozens of people can touch the Yin God, so that they can practice the Yin God. Most of these dozens of people are not in the realm of overnight travel, not to mention day travel, driving objects, appearance, etc., among the 10,000 people Perhaps only a few people can really enter the room on the monks. In this way, the world has always been the prosperity of martial arts and the power of Taoism, because light is a threshold that will turn most people away.
Second, although martial arts cannot last for a long time, the martial arts practitioners who practice martial arts have extremely terrible power. Compared with the power of light, those who are new to practice Taoism are not the opponents of martial arts at all. If the two compete with each other, the winner must be the martial arts. Before the monk drives away things, the yin god can't even touch the physical object, let alone the let's be lethal. This kind of monk can only confuse people's minds. The martial artist's body is strong, his qi and blood are sufficient, and his spirit is firm. Some of the early Taoism has no effect on the martial artist at all.
Moreover, the monk's body is obviously invincible to the martial arts, not only in terms of strength, but also in Shouyuan. This means that after practicing Taoism, not only can you beat the martial arts, but even the life expectancy is not as long as the martial arts. Of course, this is a practitioner who excludes ghost immortals. Cultivation into a ghost immortal can live immortality, but even one of 100 million human beings may not be able to cultivate a ghost immortal. Ghost immortals are a powerful existence that will occasionally appear for thousands of years. Therefore, for ordinary monks, longevity is far away at all, and it will not help their longevity. This makes some people who may be very talented in monies not want to practice, except for those who have great confidence in themselves who dare to be single-minded.
Thirdly, it is precisely because monism can have such a trace of opportunity for immortality. Even if the opportunity is extremely slim, it is enough to make the skills and dynassure of monism become a secret. Not to mention ordinary human beings, even some high-ranking people in every era may not be able to contact the world of monism. Even if you want to practice Taoism, you don't have a chance to get in touch with it.
Except for some really useless basic mental methods, the rest of these mons will be hidden by the rulers of each dynasty, and after a long period of time, almost all of these skills have been missing. Especially now, even the world can't find a real monk at all, and it can't find any smart monks.
There is another equally important reason. Monis need to understand the pulse of the outside world and the whole world, grasp the laws of nature, and feel the laws of heaven and earth. On the other hand, they also need to understand themselves, cut off distractions, and practice their hearts and spirit to the extent of communicating with heaven and earth and the world, so that it is possible to grow. Born.
But now, technology is popular, and countless things made with technology have made people no longer need to care about the natural world. On the contrary, they intend to forcibly conquer the whole world and become the primates of everything in this world. In this way, people feel that they can dominate everything in the world with the power of technology, and they are not completely rational with the inherent laws of the world. Therefore, for nearly two or three hundred years, people have not paid attention to the laws of the world. People believe that technology can help themselves do everything. What technology can't do is superstitious or confusing, and even people abandon their faith.
How can a person who doesn't even have faith talk about practicing Taoism? If a monk wants to achieve high achievements, he must not only have faith, but also understand nature, come up with his own way, and understand the corresponding law, so as to use this law to make himself have strong strength and immortality.
In fact, there is no mistake in technology itself. On the contrary, technology is also a law and a way to explain the truth of heaven and earth. This is a kind of Taoist truth that ordinary people who can't practice Taoism have inherited from generation to generation with their own wisdom. It is a special law that ordinary people can understand and use to explain the Tao. Even technology is a belief, and it is a belief that has been born and spread among countless ordinary human beings throughout the ages. It is a common belief of all mankind.
In a sense, the scientific system is a system of faith, which is not substantially different from Taoism, Buddhism and Christianity. Those who think that science is everything and want to break all superstitions are followers of the sect of science. These people believe in a belief called 'science'.
But somehow, the science that has no fault in itself is gradually distorted. When the belief in science is recognized by more and more people, it spreads widely. Everyone believes in it and becomes its most loyal believers. People can no longer accept anything other than the belief in science and downgrade all other beliefs to superstitions.
Even if today's technology is clearly unexplainable but real things will be forcibly denied or derogatory by people. This is basically a kind of self-deception and behavior, which is an extremely serious mistake. In this way, it not only distorts the essence of science, but also hinders the progress of science itself and forms a vicious circle.
This consequence is self-evident. The current earth world is no longer in its perfect state hundreds of years ago. This world is gradually dying and gradually coming to the end, which is the result of that vicious circle. Because in fact, the science circulating in the world today has almost lost its true essence, been forcibly distorted by people, and turned into a kind of stubborn pseudoscience that excludes dissidents.
Under this pseudo-scientific belief, people will only wantonly destroy and plunder until one day, the world can no longer bear to collapse and die, until the end of the world. At that time, everything will be late. There are only two ways to correct this vicious circle: First, when science makes slow and difficult progress in continuous mistakes until science reaches the real peak and can explain everything in the world, then science will naturally become the real truth, and of course there will be no more mistakes, because at this time Learning can explain the whole truth of the whole road. Even if people want to distort it again, they can't do it, because no one or existence can distort the whole road.
Another way is to have a real scientist in the world, a scientist who can convince all the world, slowly correct this already distorted belief in science with his great wisdom and perseverance, and save this belief from the vicious and no way out cycle.
