Dark energy, Wang Yangming's amazing magic powers!
Wang Yangming, the most outstanding politician, military expert and philosopher of the Ming Dynasty, the grandmaster of the Xinxue Generation, and the sage-level bull of the first rank in the history of Chinese philosophy.
About five hundred years ago, Wang Yangming enlightened in Longchang, Yang Mingxin was born, and since then, there have been countless followers.
The Ming Dynasty overthrew the traitor Yan Song, the cabinet elder Xu Jie of the Qing Dynasty; Zhang Juzheng, who overthrew imperial power, began reforms, and continued the life of Daming for half a century; and Huang Zongxi, who was known as the father of Chinese enlightenment in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was all a descendant of Yang Mingxin.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, Liang Qichao, Chen Duxiu, Yan Fu, Hu Shi, these reformers on the cusp of the storm are also all believers in YangmingXinxue.
In modern times, Chiang Kai-shek was even more obsessed with YangMingxin, not only studying it himself, but also letting his son study it, and even named Taiwan's grass mountain "Yangming Mountain". Since his youth, Mao Zedong has regarded Wang Yangming as his spiritual mentor, and he has practiced it all his life and benefited a lot.
Wang Yangming's mind science has three parts, the mind is reason, knowledge and action are one, and conscience is given.
Heart is reason: Wang Yang will still be the world of Cheng Zhu Lixue when he is young next year, and at that time he advocated the poor theory of lattice and material, believing that rationality was obtained through lattice. However, Wang Yangming once checked the bamboo for seven days and seven nights, and did not make any sense, but instead became seriously ill. Later, Wang Yangming was in the dragon field, in the sarcophagus, and finally realized that everything is in his heart, all the truths do not have to be asked, the meaning of the world is also given by your heart, and you can ask for it from your heart.
Unity of knowledge and action: "Knowing and doing work, it is inseparable", the principle of knowing must be related to reality to have meaning. Knowing that you can't separate your family, you only know that you don't act, but in fact, you still don't know.
To conscience: To seek the truth of the heart, and then to act, to realize, even if it is to the conscience.

It is no secret that Wang Yangming has supernatural powers. The most famous story is that when he was 31 years old, he returned to his hometown in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, to recuperate from illness, open the Caotang of Yangming Academy, meditate and practice Taoist guidance, and a month later he actually got the Heavenly Eye Pass. At that time, four friends came to visit, and Wang Yangming, who was still far away, sent a boy to greet him, which greatly surprised his friends. Later, when asked about the reasons that could be predicted, Wang Yangming replied with a smile: "Just a clear heart." Later, many people came to Wang Yangming to ask for advice on auspicious misfortunes, and Wang Yangming was also able to say most of them, and everyone thought that he had attained enlightenment, but Wang Yangming said: "This is a troublemaker of spirits, not enlightenment." After that, he gave up fiddling with these gods.
Wang Yangming has also met many people with magical powers and experienced many magical things. For example, on the day of his wedding at the age of seventeen, he ran away to the Taoist Iron Pillar Palace and met an old Daoist monk who was nearly 100 years old, and Wang Yangming's guidance technique was learned from this old Taoist. Later, when he said goodbye, Lao Dao told him that the two would see each other at sea in twenty years. Twenty years later, at the age of 37, Wang Yangming was demoted to Longchangyi in Guizhou for offending the eunuch Liu Jin, and after escaping from the Assassins on the way to Longchang, he fled to a wild temple in the mountains and met the Wuwei Daoist again. Although the reunion is not at sea, Wang Yangming, after receiving the guidance of the old way, wrote his most popular poem "Oceanwide": "The dangerous Yiyuan is not stuck in the chest, and he is floating through space." The night is quiet and the sea is thirty thousand miles, and the moon is flying tin under the heavenly wind. ”
Although these miraculous powers are amazing, they do not touch me very much, because they are not uncommon in Buddhism and Taoism, and they are only in terms of personal ability. What deeply shocked me was another amazing magic power of Wang Yangming.
In the fifth year of Zhengde (1510), Wang Yangming served as the county magistrate of Luling County, Ji'an Province, and a fire broke out in the county, burning more than a thousand households. In the twelfth year of Zhengde (1517), Wang Yangming pacified the bandits in Zhangzhou and garrisoned the capital of Tingzhou in Fujian Province, Shanghang, just when the local people were suffering from drought, so Wang Yangming prayed for rain for the people, and heavy rain fell for three consecutive days. In the fourteenth year of Zhengde (1519), The King of Ning, Zhu Chenhao, launched a rebellion, when Wang Yangming had no soldiers in his hands, he planned to take the waterway to Ji'an Province to formulate a strategic deployment, but unfortunately it was a strong headwind, Wang Yangming was anxious, so he burned incense at the bow of the ship and prayed to the sky, and the headwind soon turned into a tailwind.
If it is only a psychic experience, it may also be explained by coincidence. I am afraid that the repeated spiritual experiences cannot be completely explained by coincidence. Moreover, there are many similar spiritual events in history. The reason why this kind of magic power shocked me even more was because in addition to the individual, it involved the grasp and use of the power of heaven and earth, which was more noteworthy in Wang Yangming, who had been in and out of the Buddhist path for decades and had entered the world. Combined with Wang Yangming's other magical powers, it is even more convincing that there is a mysterious truth in this, and there is an unpredictable power behind it.
When we examine all types of divine powers and mysterious spiritual events, we can also feel the existence of this mysterious truth and unpredictable power, whether it is the Buddhist other heart communication, fate and other kinds of magic powers, or divination, feng shui, eight characters and other magic numbers. So what is this truth and power?

And then there's that unpredictable power.
What was the ability of Wang Yangming to pray for heaven? You know, this ability is fundamentally different from most magical powers. Most divine powers are only in line with the Heavenly Dao, and even the seemingly active divination and feng shui are only guided by the Heavenly Dao, and cannot get rid of a kind of passivity. Wang Yangming's prayer for heaven changed the original trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, which had a strong initiative motivation.
To understand this problem, two concepts need to be introduced: "dark energy" and "sincerity".
There is a saying of dark matter and dark energy in physics, not only in the universe is far greater than the proportion of visible matter, the role and dominance are also much greater, but it is difficult to observe, and currently only exists in scientific conjectures to explain the problem of the accelerated expansion and loss of matter in the universe. This conjecture is credible, because it is in line with the path of yin and yang.
This is true of physics, and so is the psychology, and our subconscious mind is where our dark energy is located, and its role and dominance are also far greater than the explicit consciousness, which everyone can understand. That's why Jung, the master of Western subconscious psychology, was highly obsessed with the I Ching divination principles and the mandala as the energy center of the tantric tradition. There is a word called "dark tide surging", everything in the world, the bottom is also the dark energy surging, and eventually also subject to this dark energy, this is what people call providence.
Dark matter is also matter, dark energy is also energy, there is no mystery, just difficulty, unfathomable. It's like the sea, the sea level may be bright and calm, you can see at a glance, and the deeper you go under the sea, the more endless darkness and secrets, deep and unpredictable. Each of us and our existence are also such two layers of light and dark, and most people spend their entire lives only fluttering in the top layer.
The level of energy communicated by sincerity is the layer of dark energy. The ability that people have at this level is sincerity. This sincerity is the same as that of most magical powers. This sincere movement is the transformation of Wang Yangming's prayer for heaven. When it is sincere, the dark energy of man and the dark energy of the universe of heaven and earth are integrated, and nature can either sit still in it or move within it. The so-called movement is the initiative and mobilization, the initiative is your sincerity, and the mobilization is the power of heaven and earth. If there is a little sincerity, there is a little sincerity.
This side of the movement is what Taoism calls "willingness." Taoists attach great importance to the importance of making hearts and wishes, and take it as the premise and basis of their practice, and establish it as the root of Taoism, the seed of Rulai, and even say that this can be blessed by the Dao chief, and the Dao leader will lead him to the Pure Land of Rebirth. Whether there are ghosts or not, we will not say for the time being, but in any case, they are also a symbol of this high order and deep energy. The Western law of attraction, which says how a person's mind will incur corresponding things and circumstances, is essentially the embodiment of the will, because the mind is oriented.
Wang Yangming's sincere prayer for the heavens' spiritual experience came from here, and it was with his willpower to mobilize the dark energy between heaven and earth to make things develop in the direction he expected. Even if we have doubts about such things as praying for heaven, we must admit that this kind of sincere mobilization of the dark energy level is true.

So what should be done?
Sincerity is so important, but it is extremely difficult to do. The basis of sincerity is a clear mind, and sentient beings are often cloudy. The opposite of sincerity is hypocrisy, but all beings are deceiving themselves and deceiving themselves. Cultivating sincerity is equivalent to cultivating the mind and cultivating the Tao.
Therefore, for a long time, Wang Yangming took "sincerity" as the main purpose of "University" and the mind of learning, until he proposed "to conscience". This is not a kind of abandonment and replacement, but only a kind of development and deepening. When Wang Yangming finally locked his eyes on conscience, he actually said that conscience is the essence of sincerity, and conscience is the way to reach sincerity. Sincerity requires clarity of heart, and conscience requires the selfish intentions in Chakzhi's heart, and the same destination.
Wang Yangming said that conscience is simple and straightforward, and only needs to follow the judgment of conscience. Sincerity is also simple and straightforward, whether you are sincere in your heart, whether you are sincere in dealing with people and things, is just a matter of whether you are willing or not.
If you are willing, it is the starting point to sincerity and sincerity.
Wang Yangming's life is also a life of firm will, self-insistence and maverick. In the era when Zhu Zixue unified the world, Wang Yangming put forward the theory of "unity of knowledge and action", which brought a huge impact to the people at that time. People can't understand its original meaning, and there are people who are surprised, and there are many critics and accusers.
Wang Yangming once described his situation like this: "Before the danger stack breaks me, the tiger tails me." The cliff fell to my left, and the cliff came to my right. By the first year of Jiajing (1522), Wang Yangming was already a great hero in quelling the rebellion of the kings of the domain, but he was still attacked by other officials. At that time, the entrance examination was taken care of by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the strategy questions involved the study of the mind, and the questioner secretly hoped that the candidates would blame Wang Yangming, which showed the difficulty of Wang Yangming's situation.
Nevertheless, after suppressing himself and reflecting on his own mistakes, Wang Yangming firmly believed that his doctrine was correct and clear-"In this day, he only believes that conscience is true and wrong, let alone hides his protection, and does not do a 'crazy person'." Let the whole world say that I will not hide my words, and I will only act according to my conscience. ”
This allows us to see that one of the great truths of mind science, the source of inner strength, lies in following one's own conscience and being one's true self. This is not going my own way and acting arbitrarily, but insisting on what you think is right, which is a kind of backbone and hardness. Among them, there are both the root causes of the current human crisis, as well as the prescription for treatment, and the heart disease must also be treated by heart medicine.
There is nothing outside the heart, there is no reason outside the heart. The human heart contains all the information of the universe: the essence of the mind is all-versus-de-existing, and it is originally a heaven. Only for the obstacle of selfish desires, the essence of heaven is lost. The reason of the heart is endless, and the original is a deep. If only selfish desires are suffocated, then the essence of the abyss is lost. Now that the mind is to the conscience, and this obstacle is suffocated together, then the essence has been restored, and it is the abyss of heaven.
The human heart is all-encompassing, and it is as unfathomable as the sky. It is just that such a lofty and profound heart is often filled with selfish desires, so it loses its original loftiness and depth, and cannot be all-encompassing, and cannot absorb all things.
All things and all things are contained in the hearts of people. The saint's heart is bright and can reflect all things. The hearts of ordinary people, because of the obscuration of lust and delusion, are dim and cloudy, and they have lost their light.
