The previous article has said that the first step is to "regret the past", free from the past fixed number, how to repent here is not much to repeat, interested, please check it yourself. Today, let's talk about how to "break the present".
When you learn to break free from your past habits of thought, the so-called "fixed number" can no longer do anything to you, so from this moment on, your fate is completely in your own hands.
However, you are not a sage, and under the stimulation of external factors, your mental system will still be erratic and affected by the surrounding environment, which will lead to a lot of distractions, which must be eradicated to pave the way for the next step of "seeking the future".
Breaking away delusions is actually the "grinding on the matter" in Yang Ming's mind science.
Train your spiritual consciousness so that it can maintain in a "calm" inner state not only in meditation but also in ordinary work, and the heart will not fluctuate due to the intrusion of external objects.
To take the simplest example, when you eat, your brain has not stopped for a moment, and your thoughts are always running around and cannot be controlled at all. All you need to do is take the outwardly scattered attention back into your body, put yourself in a state of "eating", feel the taste of the meal when it is ingested, and enjoy the process with your heart.
Through such continuous practice, your inner demons begin to be slowly surrendered by you, and the creativity of the mind will continue to appear.
As for the third step of "seeking the future", it is not simply to make a wish from the mouth to ask, and there will be a chance to offer it to you later!
