Wang Jianping: Daily Article: The Sixth Part of the Theory of Perception (Perceptual Dialogue, 13)
Survivors:
We really don't think that spiritual intelligence is a way of being, a way different from our original biological way of being, and we are the experimenters and victims of this way. You are right, the way of spiritual wisdom has enabled us to gain the world and lose ourselves. The point is, what do we get the world to do? What's the point? Do we intentionally lose ourselves, or do we lose ourselves unintentionally? What does it mean for us to gain the world and lose ourselves? Are we bearing the consequences of this fact? Is all this humanity experiencing inevitable or accidental?
Your analysis is very brain-burning, are these simple truths or really advanced questions, should we cross these problems, or should we bypass these problems? In other words, do we have to figure these issues clearly, or do we not have to worry about them?
Perceiver:
Thinking is necessary, thought guides behavior, and we cannot do without thought. The reason why you think these problems are very brain-burning to analyze is that they are very different and far from the concepts you are using. To let people return from a distance is indeed a trek of ideas, it is inevitable to subvert and destroy many original concepts, and the most important thing is to reverse the direction of thinking. As soon as we turned back, the sky was wide and wide, and it turned out that we had walked into an alley, narrower and narrower, and deeper and deeper.
We gain the world, but we lose ourselves. What do we do with the world? In the world we have created with spiritual consciousness and behavioral activity, there is already another specious biological species, and this species is us humans. We are creatures that have lost their original attributes in the evolutionary activity, and we have obtained the world with spiritual creation, but it is not we who have obtained this world, but ourselves who have been alienated beyond recognition. This "unrecognizable" does not refer to the change of our body, the change of body shape by shedding a body of long hair and walking upright is not the main thing, the main thing is that our way of existence has changed, from the biological instinctive perception of the way of existence to the way of life. Instinctive existence exists in concrete perceptual facts, while life exists in the concept of life. We in this life are the result of spiritual creation, we live in the world we have created with the spirit of life, and we suddenly enter two kinds of abnormalities from ordinary creatures: the abnormal world and the abnormal us.
The world explained by life is completely different from the original perceived world, and after we are decomposed into living individuals by the consciousness of life, the world we face has actually been decomposed into the world of individuals. Because the principle of life is the independent existence of the individual, this independence has to decompose the world into a world that one faces, that is, the world used by one. This is very different from the world that existed only in perception, and the original world was only for our perception and use, and did not need to be occupied. The world of life only takes what it gets, how much it takes, and what it cannot get without possession, which is determined by the ethical logic of life. The properties of the world are essentially altered by the idea of life, one for perception and one for possession, and these two properties serve the same world for two purposes, the former for biological perception and the latter for human possession. This is how we lose the perceptual nature of living things and become human beings.
From then on, we can only live in the world of life, in the ethical logic of life. The concept of life itself is hollow, and it does not specifically refer to it. The meaning of life is mainly reflected in its ethical logic, and the essence of life is the combination of many truths and concepts, which stipulates and defines human behavior, and makes people's behavior obey and serve a specific purpose - that is, the survival of the self. Life allows people to only ensure their own life, life is a distinct view of self-existence, life is the expression of self-existence. Life defines man's attributes very strictly, and life makes all his actions start from the self, and take the self as the basis, the self as the goal, and the self as the end... These are the strong consciousness that the concept of life gives us, and once we enter the consciousness of life, we are strongly controlled by it, and it is difficult for us to take half a step out of the concept of life. In fact, life has no physical meaning at all, it is an ethical logic, it is a spiritual consciousness, and it is a spiritual consciousness with a strong closed nature.
Life consciousness gives man another attribute, and we bid farewell to the biological attributes of perception once and for all and begin a completely different life as life. In this way, there is life and death outside the perceptual motion, and we use phenomenal facts to attest to the existence of life and death, and we can only live in this way between life and death in this way.
