Chapter 52 Chapter 48: World of Jelly - Part 2: Curtain

"I don't know exactly what emotional reactions most people will have after being impacted by that new worldview perspective. But I can basically imagine several types. It is nothing more than: shock; anger; disdain; ridicule; abuse; puzzlement; confusion ;Admiration;Sorrow;Question. Maybe there are more? And I belong to the kind of doubt. This doubt does not mean that I don’t believe it, but requires a cognitive process. Of course, if we can do it from the most intuitive superficial phenomenon Examples would certainly be convincing. That's why magicians were called sorcerers, illusionists in the old days, and possibly royal service."

"But magic, after all, is magic. When our technology develops to the point where we can solve the mystery, we will dismiss it. Whether it is chemistry, physics, or technique, as long as we know it, most people People will disdain. Therefore, we cannot blame the magician for keeping the truth behind it secret." "However, what if there is a magic trick that can never be solved? The magician is no longer alive. No one knows how to do it. There is no answer to the mystery. So far, countless methods have been used, and countless modern technologies can't solve it. Reproduce, then, will that magic become a legend? Or, that magic is simply denied: it is just a legend."

"According to the current situation, the possibility of being denied is the greatest. Because this is the material world." The above passage was what she said when she saw her for the second time. Before I went, I spent over an hour re-listening to the highlights of the first recording.As I walked through the door, I found myself taking deep breaths to adjust my heartbeat.This frustrates me a bit. Me: "Hi, I'm here as promised." She is still cross-legged, but there is a cat curled up on her lap, pure black without a trace of stray hair. She: "Well, do you want to continue listening to what you said last time? Where did you say it last time?"

Me: "Bubbles in jelly." Her: "Huh? What jelly bubbles?" I broke down a bit: "Why don't you listen to what you said last time?" She: "Oh, good. The jelly part is fine, and nothing else is needed. It's a bit weird to hear my own voice." After she listened to the recording briefly and skippingly, she said the above paragraph. Me: "I kind of understand what you mean. You mean this world is made up of matter, so matter is needed to determine it, otherwise it will be considered empty talk?" She: "Did you find anything interesting?"

Me: "What?" She: "Everyone understands that our cognition is just those weak chemical messages and electrical signals between brain cells. This has been recognized. But they are all obsessed with the feedback of those electrical signals and chemical information. Can't help myself." Me: "You mean that movie? The Matrix, the one with hackers." She: "No, what I want to say is not just that. You will find it funny when you pay attention. We all recognize the spirit, but not fully. We admit what is confirmed by matter, and we admit what cannot be verified by matter. deny."

Me: "Tell me." She: "I won't say what can be proved, let's say what can't be proved. If you imagine something, just say that you think you are flying, others will say that you are obsessive, that you are whimsical. But you imagine yourself When eating, as long as it is not a weird occasion, no one will question you." Me: "You mean imagination, right?" She: "The so-called imagination, what does it come from? Thinking? Spirit? No matter how you call the root, imagination does not come out of thin air. There is such an existence that produces imagination. But why does imagination appear? You will use evolution to To explain is to make a rehearsal in your brain. For example, if you are an ape, you go hunting, before catching the prey, imagine in your mind what you should do, and then? You do as you imagined , right? But if you imagine that you stretch out your finger, and the prey becomes a barbecue directly, then you will not be able to realize it. You shake your not very well-developed head, and then try to imagine and deduce the part that you can implement. Logic Does it look like this?"

Me: "It's okay, it's just caused by imagination and it's slowly evolving and developing. Is there anything wrong?" She: "It's not wrong, but imagination is not unique to humans, animals must also have it. Let's just say my Xiaobai..." Me: "Huh? Wait a minute, is this black cat called Xiaobai?" She: "What's so strange? Why can't the black cat be called Xiaobai? Let's just say Xiaobai. If Xiaobai makes a mistake and I slap him, it hurts and feels uncomfortable. Maybe he will imagine himself You are beating me up, or imagining that you have not made a mistake. Anyway, you are imagining something. Or when Xiaobai was catching table tennis balls, did he practice in his mind beforehand, and then determine how to catch them? I think there should be of."

Me: "Isn't it instinct for cats to scratch?" Her: "Subconsciously?" Me: "...well I lost, the subconscious mind is also part of the mind, and it also comes from the spiritual side." She: "Well, now the problem has arisen. These thoughts must be a preview of behaviors in advance. If you are very opposed to the idea of ​​​​a cat's thinking, let's not talk about cats, then talk about people. You won't reject this, right? Many human behaviors are rehearsed with thinking, and the basis of rehearsal is experience, the experience we have accumulated through living these years. However, this experience is still material. Do you know the examples of wolf children and pig children?"

I vaguely knew what she was going to say. Me: "Know some." She: "Let's talk about wolf children. Those biologists say that the current limb structure of human beings is not suitable for the wild environment, and can't adapt to running with shared limbs. But the appearance of wolf children gave them a big slap in the face. Wolf children use their limbs. They run fast, not slower than wolves. Even the canine teeth are more developed than ordinary people, and the most interesting thing is that there are a lot of biological pheromones in the urine, which is a unique sign of canids; the nasal mucosa cells of wolf children are also very Developed—that is, a keen sense of smell. What is this? An adaptation, right? Evolution or degeneration for the sake of adaptation. But the fundamental reason, he thinks he is a wolf, and the spiritual recognition directly dominates the physical body .”

Me: "Are all wolf children like this?" She: "I checked, and several wolf children are like this. What if they are not raised by wolves, but replaced by others? I really want to know, if a baby is raised by aliens from birth, what will those aliens do?" Fly, and also told the baby: You are one of us, we are all the same except that we look different, so will this child be able to fly when he grows up?" Me: "You are still assuming. You can assume that he can fly, and I can also assume that he can't fly." She laughs: "I'm assuming, you're not. You're judging from experience. You're making a definition based on your own experience, and I'm assuming more possibilities based on those of the wolf kids. Well, Leaving aside the question of whether to fly or not, let’s look at the example of the wolf boy, don’t you still agree with the strength of the spirit?”

Me: "Uh... I agree, the spirit is very strong." She: "The spirit can be powerful enough to change the body, it can directly negate the evolution that takes many generations to complete, and adjust the body according to the needs. But the question arises again: Why is our spirit controlled by the flesh instead? And the spirit is How did it come about? How did you lose it after you died? Do you really have a soul? What is it?" Me: "I don't know." She: "Spirit relies on matter and exists in the material world, but it is different from matter and does not belong to the material world. Spirit is the tiny bubbles in the big piece of jelly." The question that had mocked me for a day and a half finally lifted the veil. Me: "Well... the end of matter is a spiritual world?" She: "Remember what we said the day before yesterday? The 'sacred place' mentioned by almost all religions is actually a place of spirit. But it is different from the spirit imagined in this material world, or From the perspective of matter, the existence of spirit is beyond the boundaries of matter. Spirit exists in non-existence.” Me: "Let's think about it... To put it bluntly, it is: spirit exists in nothingness? Isn't that ethereal?" She: "To understand with the state of matter, to understand with this state in matter, that's it. However, we also recognize the spirit that exists in matter. That is to say, this spirit does not depend on matter. I don’t recognize it. So, what we recognize is material or spiritual?” She stopped me. She: "The bigger problem is that we recognize the spirit, but deny the spirit because of material reasons. Why? How can such a contradictory thing happen in the material world? What explanation do you use? Parallel universe? Holographic universe? Superstring theory? Or something else?" Me: "Well... this..." She: "The problem with parallel universes is trying to use the concept of 'now moment' to divide the past, present, and future; the problem with holography is that it still uses matter to prove matter; and superstrings are even more exaggerated, and they simply deny the one in front of the blue screen. Snakes, I think it’s just an illusion. In fact, the snake’s head and snake’s tail are a kind of thing passing through time, running back and forth at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Anyway, these are limited to matter, not the exploration of matter, but It is proved by material. So, I don't like those, so, I don't accept those. Do you understand?" Me: "But the evidence..." She looked at me: "The evidence I said is enough. I remember saying that day, with this method, there is nothing that cannot be explained. You are also the past, the present, and the future. Your spirit can imagine the past, You can analyze the present and preview the future, but your spirit is restricted by your body, so you can’t use your present eyes to see the future. So your body reflects the present to you, creating a cyclical state— ——Your spirit does not belong to matter, but is limited to matter. Because your spirit does not belong to matter, you can only feel this material world by relying on matter. If you still don’t understand, I can make a fool of myself For example: still in the big piece of jelly, a tiny air bubble is confined in it and squeezed into a certain shape by the surrounding of the jelly, but at this time the air bubble slides to another area, then the shape of the air bubble will change according to The surrounding squeezed into a new shape. The cognition of this small bubble to the surrounding is limited by its own shape, what is outside? What is it? What is the end of this big piece of jelly?" I sat there and couldn't say anything. She: "My analogy is extremely inappropriate, but if you really don't understand, then just understand it first. The existence of the so-called 'Holy Land' is definitely not what you imagined in this piece of jelly. In this piece of jelly , you can reach a big bubble, it's already shocking, but when you leave the jelly completely...can you understand?" Me: "I should understand a little better. You mean that our world, whether it is the past, present or future, and how far apart it is, is actually all matter, and it is a whole concept divided by time and space. A major cognitive error. Because you are in a certain state, you will have a hypothetical perception of the current situation around you. If you are out of jelly, you can’t express it with just bubbles, because it’s not a bubble. a new field. Nothing before it makes sense. Is that so?" She frowned and muttered what I just said: "In general...although it's not quite complete, it's generally like this." Me: "Is it okay to ask individual questions?" Her: "Huh? What?" Me: "Do you know how many of your followers committed suicide?" Her: "2." Me: "Do you think it's your responsibility?" She: "Part of it is my responsibility, but I don't admit the responsibility arising from what I said, but: it is my responsibility not to understand what those people have absorbed." Me: "How?" Her: "I said what I know, I can't control people's minds or control people's spirits. I don't want to. I admit that some followers send me money, give me houses, give me other things, but I said no. I'm not interested in creating a cult. However, I can only say that there are too many people in this world who don't understand the root of the problem. Suppose I'm talking about Buddhism and they committed suicide? I'm talking about Christianity , Did they commit suicide? As far as I know, there are quite a few people who commit suicide because of religion. In order to prove their sincerity, it is actually a state of confusion. I remember a psychiatrist once said to me before committing suicide that he wanted to Look beyond the physical. I was really too lazy to explain. If I thought about it enough, I should have asked him what he was going to see with? Eyes? But I didn't expect him to do that. And it was after that that I never Don’t use the metaphor of seeds.” Me: "What parable of the seed?" Her: "I don't want to say." Me: "I really want to know. You can see that I am the kind of person who doubts. I don't fully accept what you said. I also have my own opinions and ideas. So, tell me? " She looked at me very seriously for a while: "I once said to him: Burying a person means death and loss. But burying a seed means that a new life is about to begin." Me: "So it's like this... the problem that the doctor understands." Her expression is very serious: "The human spirit is actually very complicated, and there will be countless opinions based on cognition and perspective. Suppose I say that I like red, some people will think that I like excitement, and some people will think that I am implying that I want to Having sex, some people will think that I want to buy something, and some people will think that I am actually hungry. But I don’t have so many thoughts, I just like it, and I say it. If you have to use subconscious and analysis methods to analyze, I don’t method. Regarding what I told you, I just said that as for you to commit suicide, hang yourself, get married, or become a monk, it is your judgment, not mine. What I use seeds to explain again is: I planted Planting it does not mean that I have to take care of everything that germinates, and I have no responsibility, obligation, or energy to take care of those. I just planted it. More, beyond my ability to bear. If not It is best not to believe in any religion for that kind of ability to bear and analyze, otherwise something will happen if you believe in anything.” Me: "This is indeed a problem..." She: "I said: the spirit does not belong to matter, and no one can completely control it. If it can be controlled, it can only prove one thing: the controlled spirit is very fragile in the matter." Me: "Are you sad about that?" She thought for a while: "I don't know how to describe it. Spirituality can let you decide everything about yourself. But if you insist on thinking that material restrains yourself, then no one can help you. Apart from material, it may not be a good thing." Well, of course it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Now, regarding this point, I can’t judge what it is like. Because I just saw it, not an experiencer. If it exists in matter, then it exists. And If you are curious and want to understand, you should study it; if you are afraid of the unknown and don’t want to ask why, then don’t pursue it; if you haven’t decided whether to explore it now, then hesitate first. No one forces you to do it Nothing, there is no standard of who is good and who is not good, and there is no measure of how smart or dull. The spirit is whatever you want, so let’s really do whatever you want. When you are at your lowest, you can be happy. When you are most proud, you can be sad .These are brought by the spirit, not by the substance. So let me tell you, I don’t know how to describe it, and I can’t use the analogy of the substance to completely deduce the problem of the spirit. I can only reveal the magician A little bit of the curtain behind me. I don't know the rest." Xiaobai lazily hugged her leg, rested his chin on her knee, and stared at me blankly.I can see its eyes twinkle. Me: "Thank you, I absorbed it." About a month later, I suddenly received a call from her at noon one day. She: "Are you still looking for it?" Me: "Well, let's continue." She: "Is there no end to your curiosity?" Me: "Is there no end to your curiosity about my curiosity? What reminds you of me?" She: "It was because of your curiosity that I accidentally saw a line of poetry and thought of you." Me: "Whose? Which sentence?" She: "The one written by Nalan Rongruo..." Me: "Well, I see, 'Life is just like seeing you first'."
