Oracle "dream" word
In recent years, generally speaking, drowsiness is a very luxurious thing for Ah Yu, but it suddenly came the day before yesterday. I didn't expect to sleep for more than 24 hours, of course, in between getting up to go to the toilet and drinking water. It turns out that this super awakening is prepared for today's content, so today I want to talk about the oracle bone "dream" word.
Everyone looks at the "dream" word of the oracle bone above, which is a very vivid way to say that a person lies in bed and sleeps, but there is another one next to it. So what exactly is this one? In the last interpretation of "God, Spirit, and Soul", it is said that human life itself contains three systems, namely "spirit, qi, and god". Jing is the digestive system, responsible for supplying energy to the flesh; the original way of writing the qi character in Taoism is "炁", which is the circulatory system of breathing and blood and meridians, and this energy mainly comes from "炁"; and God, that is, the Yuan God, we often say that Tianren and One, is the "one" next to the word "dream", indicating that sleeping and dreaming is an image embodiment of the unity of heaven and man.
The Kangxi dictionary has the character 炁
The word "炁" in the oracle bone has not been found, and it may not have been deciphered yet. The Kangxi dictionary explains that "all things are born with one fire", just like Lao Tzu said that "Dao sheng one" is "one", of course, this "炁" character is different from the cloud, rain and mist.
"Guan Yinzi" said: The people of the world, with my thoughts of others, I think of others, I think of others, I do not know that the people in my dreams also think of different people. Peter thinks differently, who is me, who is human. The people of the world, those who divide others and me with my pain, do not know that the people in the dream also hurt me, and the pain is different from me, and the pain is different from me, which is me, which is human. The claws do not hurt, the hands and feet do not think, and I am also, how can I think of pain. The people of the world, with the one who sees the one as the dream, the one who sees the same as the one who is aware, who does not know the knot of the essence, there is also one who is seen alone in the day, and there is the one who is united by God, and there are also two people who dream together in the night. Both are my spirit, which is a dream and which is an awareness. People in the world dream of those who see for a while, and those who see for a long time are aware, and they do not know that those who see temporarily are bowls of yin and yang, and those who see for a long time are also bowls of yin and yang. Both are my yin and yang, which is a dream and which is an awareness.
Guan Yinzi means that the dream can only be seen by yourself, and others cannot know the content of your dream. Ah Yu said that the so-called dream is that the human Yuan God travels through time and space, and there is no concept of time and space in the dream. We can go anywhere in our dreams and meet anyone we know or don't know. In the dream, it seems that we can't hear the sound, because our Yuanshen does not yet have the function of recording. Of course, when we sleep and dream, we can't hear the sounds around us, because our ears temporarily lose their function.
Oracle's "dream" word
Another way of writing the word "dream" in the oracle bone, Ah Yu found it more interesting. The man with the word "dream" had left the bed far away and had opened three eyes and a large mouth. People often say that opening the heavenly eye is actually the eye in the dream. There is also a saying that some people can open their eyes when they are awake. This Ayu seems to have had the experience of daydreaming. Ah Yu had bought a bamboo recliner, and sometimes as soon as he slept, he could daydream. Of course, the god chair can separate a person's feet from the earth, that is to say, if a person leaves the earth god, he is "one with the heavens and man" with the god of heaven.
"Guan Yinzi" said: There is no thing that is not heaven, nothing that is not life, nothing that is not god, and nothing that is not yuan. If things are like this, are they not like people? Everyone can know the heavens, everyone can know the gods, and everyone can be fatal. Not the other heaven is this not the heaven, the other god is not god, the other is not the life, the other is not the yuan. It is the one who is good at my way, that is, in one thing, who knows the heavens and the gods, and who is fatally created. Learning, wandering in different names, analyzing the same reality. Get it, get it right, forget the name.
Returning to the word "emperor" of God mentioned in the previous part "God, Spirit, soul", is this "God" ourselves?
