What is consciousness? Why is consciousness also the human mind? All living beings have spiritual consciousness. Spiritual consciousness, psychological consciousness, soul consciousness, spiritual consciousness, are all consciousness.
What is consciousness and what is consciousness?
Meaning is people's mind, taste, meaning, but also people's expressions, meanings, thoughts, thoughts.
The word "meaning" can be expressed in many ways, and the meaning is difficult to understand.
Generally speaking: the meaning of the word comes from the heart. So there is a single-minded statement. But in fact, single-mindedness can not only produce one mind, but also half-mindedness and multi-mindedness.
There is a disease called choice phobia, also known as choice difficulty, which should be the external manifestation of single-mindedness. If it's just single-mindedness, this selectivity disorder may not be too serious, and if it's half-heartedness or even multi-mindedness, then the problem may be really serious.
The "half-heartedness" that we usually encounter in our lives is not really half-heartedness.
For example, there is a fable called "Kitten Fishing", the kitten is attracted by dragonflies and butterflies, and cannot concentrate on fishing, in fact, this is not really half-hearted, its actual situation is: the kitten has been playing single-mindedly.
The so-called half-heartedness is only in the eyes of outsiders, and the kitten is half-hearted. In essence, the kitten itself has always been playing with all its heart.
The word stands on the heart, it is like a candle flame standing on a wick candle. It is the real-time live expression of the human mind on the outside, which is conveyed through speech, body, expression, meaning, etc.
The connotation of the word can be the meaning expressed by human language, the meaning conveyed by human limbs and expressions, and the thoughts, ideas, concepts, and concepts conveyed by human thinking and minds.
What is knowledge, is to see, to know. It is the sum total of human beings' various views and opinions on all things in the universe, including themselves.
The key core of the word consciousness is not in the word "literacy", but in the word "meaning". Consciousness is objective, whether it is right or wrong, it can be cognition, and consciousness is subjective and belongs to the individual. Consciousness is only an objective carrier of "meaning".
For example: "The sun is purple." This sentence is a kind of insight. Whether it is correct or not, it is a kind of "knowledge". Even in the past billions of years, whether or not anyone has seen this sentence again, it has existed, even if it only appeared for a moment.
Why is consciousness the human mind? Because the "mind" comes from the "heart". There is a heart before it is intentional. Meaning is the extension of the heart. Consciousness comes from the mind. All human consciousness cannot be separated from the human heart. It's like a candle flame can't be separated from a candle.
Wang Yangming said: "There is no goodness and no disgusting body, and there are good and malicious movements." ”
If the "mind" is compared to the sun itself, the "mind" is equivalent to the light emitted by the sun.
There is nothing inherently good or evil about the sun. But the light it emits hits the plant and makes it grow stronger, and it has good, and if the sun's rays hit the worm and scorch the worm to death, then it becomes evil again.
The human mind, like the sun itself, has only some characteristics of its own, and does not care about good or evil. What can bring harm to others is just people's various intentional or unintentional thoughts and behaviors.
That's why Wang Yangming advocates "knowing good and knowing evil, and eliminating evil for good".
If human beings do not know the good or evil of their thoughts and actions, it is easy for them to inadvertently harm others. People often say that there is good and evil in the heart and good and evil in thought and deed, which are completely different things. To be more precise, there is no good or evil in the heart, but there is good and evil in thoughts and actions.
Most of the good and evil in terms of ideology, behavior, and consciousness are caused by external interests. Inner peace and tranquility can suppress evil, and inner restlessness can also encourage evil.
Evil originating from the heart almost does not exist, and the so-called evil comes from people's thoughts and thoughts.
Humanity has nothing but one mind. One heart is equivalent to the soul, and one mind is equivalent to the soul. The soul is divided into three souls, and the soul is divided into seven souls.
One yin and one yang is the Tao. One mind is yin, and one mind is yang. The heart is inside, the mind is outside.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Most of the human consciousness, the consciousness of the human heart, comes from the human visual system. This is called visual awareness.
If a person loses his sense of sight, he becomes blind. And the blind are the absolute disadvantage of the population. They can't even survive without the crowd.
So consciousness is not really so mysterious and complicated. Human consciousness is actually a synthesis of human vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. In particular, the vision system is the most critical.
Not only the eyes are the windows to the soul, but the other four senses are also connected to the heart. The human mind gives birth to the five senses, which form consciousness by observing and touching all things.
Consciousness, therefore, is just a variety of feedback that the human mind forms by touching all things. So consciousness is also called psychic consciousness.
What is the heart? The heart is the god of man, the spirit of man, and the spirit of man. That's why there is a saying of carefulness, heart, heart, and heart.
Lao Tzu said: "The heavens have to be clear, the earth has to be peaceful, the gods have to be spiritual, the grain has to be profitable, and all things have to live." ”
What is "God has one spirit"? What is "God"? God refers to the mind and spirit, and refers to all things that have God.
As long as all living beings have their gods, they will have spirituality, and they will all be flexible.
God has a Spirit. The "oneness" obtained by "God" refers to the heart. Attaining one is like attaining the Tao. The heart is the way. Human consciousness also originates from the heart.
So consciousness also refers to the human heart. Why is it that people are conscious? Because every human being has a heart.
The world is as big as the heart. Where the heart reaches, the consciousness is born.
As the saying goes: When the heart is born, all kinds of laws are born, and when the heart is destroyed, all kinds of laws are destroyed.
In this sentence, the heart refers to the mind and soul, and the various dharmas refer to the various consciousnesses of birth and destruction.
Consciousness is attached to the mind in order to exist. It's hard to be calm, and that's just because the heart is hard to settle.
The mind exists inwardly and is invisible, and consciousness is the outward manifestation of the mind.
Therefore, it can be said that consciousness is the human heart. You can't say: a candle is a candle, a candle flame is not a candle.
The candle flame is also a part of the candle. Consciousness is also a part of the mind.
