Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Xuan Yuan said calmly:

“This goes back to our original question – what is the heart?”

“It can be seen that as the embodiment of human consciousness, the mind is not essentially a purely material flow of information.”

"The heart carries and can call upon all the information you have at any time, but it is not just this information, but an existence in a higher dimension than this information."

"Do you trainee scholars have skills similar to our archers?"

"Is it a skill that requires you to enter a special state where your mind is completely blank when you use it?"

Xenia nodded:

"Yes, trainee scholars also have many skills that must enter a state of blank consciousness before they can be used."

Xuan Yuan glanced at Xiniya.

He suddenly waved his palms and clapped them in front of Xenia, making a loud high-five, which startled Xenia.

Xuan Yuan took back his hand and said with a smile:

"Just now, when you were scared by me, did your mind go blank?"

"Did any thoughts, emotions, or images arise at that moment?"

Xenia patted her chest with one hand and said with a smile:

"I was scared by you."

"Yes, at that moment, I entered a state where my mind went blank when I was using my skills."

Xuan Yuan stretched out his index finger and tapped the table gently and regularly:

"So, here's the problem."

"The moment you are frightened, there are no thoughts, no thoughts, no emotions, and no pictures in your mind."

"At that moment, how did you know the fact that [your mind was blank]?"

"If there is really nothing in your mind, you shouldn't even know that [your mind is blank], right?"

"It's like being put into a coma under general anesthesia during surgery, or the transitional state between when you're asleep and when you're awake."

"In that state, you don't realize anything, you don't even realize anything, and you don't feel the passage of time."

"I just feel like my eyes are closing and opening, and the middle part is skipped."

"But at the moment when you were frightened, you could clearly know the whole process of [your mind going blank], right?"

Xenia looked surprised:

"Hey, that's really the case!"

"If there is really nothing in my mind, I probably don't realize that [there is nothing in my mind]."

"But, I was shocked for a moment."

"It feels like something is looking at the state of [nothing in my mind], so I know that I am [nothing in my mind] at that moment."

Xuan Yuan nodded:

"Yes."

"When frightened, the daily flow of thoughts is interrupted, thoughts are stagnant, emotions no longer occur, and thinking is forced to interrupt."

"For example."

"It's like a canvas that is densely covered with various paints. Usually you are completely unaware of the existence of the white canvas."

“One day, the messy paint covering the surface of the canvas was instantly washed away.”

“The pure white background that has been hiding underneath the paint and carrying all the paint is now highlighted.”

"At this time, you will find out."

"When you enter [a blank state in your mind], there is actually the last thing left, which is like a white canvas. It is precisely this thing that allows you to still see the blank state in your mind."

"Otherwise, you will never know that you are in a state of [mind goes blank]."

"This thing is exactly what we call perspective, that is, awareness."

"From this, a discovery can be made."

“Awareness does not exist by thinking, nor by thoughts, nor by emotions.”

"Awareness represents your pure existence itself."

"Give me a life example."

"Have you ever noticed something strange? When we dream, all kinds of weird and wonderful events often happen in our dreams."

“You’ll find that sometimes you’re in a first-person perspective in the dream, and sometimes you’re in a third-person perspective in the sky.”

"Sometimes, your identity in the dream is very different from your identity in reality, and sometimes you become a completely different person in the dream without knowing it."

"However, you can enter your new dream identity without any hindrance and develop a real sense of self."

"Sometimes, even though the memory, words, deeds, and way of thinking of the person in the dream are obviously different from you in reality, you can still recognize the person in the dream as [me] without any hindrance."

"It can be seen that the source of this [sense of self] does not come from the [memory information] accumulated since you were born - such as: your name, your family, your country, your personality, your Self-definition of preferences and so on.”

“This [sense of self] comes precisely from awareness.”

"What you usually call self-definition is actually a temporary illusory identity that is constructed for you after awareness temporarily calls your memory bank, that is, a false self."

“Just like some people think [I am a coward who never dares to communicate with others], but as time goes by, when personal cognition changes and actions change, new memories will gradually replace the past memories. This person will calmly accept the identity of "I am a brave person who dares to communicate with anyone."

"At this moment, the definition of my identity changes."

"However, there was no change in awareness itself, whether it was the former who feared communication or the latter who did not fear communication."

"The only thing that changes is the memories and definitions that the person holds in his consciousness and is constantly being called upon unconsciously."

"From here we can know that all the information we have received from the outside world since we were born is actually an information reserve that is constantly filled and then temporarily called up."

"Any information we receive from the outside world does not represent our own essence, because essence is not something that is constantly changing."

"It's that after all external input information is eliminated, what is left in the end cannot be eliminated - the heart."

“In other words, mind is awareness, and awareness is mind.”

"If we identify with the information that happened in the past, we will think that our personality, character, and weaknesses cannot be changed and are completely innate."

"If you discover the nature of your own consciousness, you will realize it."

"The only thing in your life that will always exist with you and will not change until you die is awareness itself."

"Other than that, all the information you input from the outside world can be converted, edited and changed at will. There is no such thing as being unable to change."

"This is also why, among a pair of twin brothers who grew up in the same poor family environment and were born at the same time, there is still a phenomenon where the older brother becomes a repeat offender and the younger brother becomes an upright and kind lawyer."

"It is not the information input to them from the outside world that completely determines whether they will become a good person or a bad guy in the future, but rather their awareness of whether they choose to use external information in a negative way or a positive way in their personal growth experience to create themselves Definition of identity.”

"Those who have heaven in their hearts will live in heaven in the midst of hell; those who have hell in their hearts will live in hell in the midst of heaven."

Hear this.

Xenia couldn't help but clenched her right fist and tapped her left palm with emotion on her face:

"I see!"

"Listening to what you said, many issues suddenly became clear to me."

"It turns out that the essence of human consciousness does not lie in memorizing information, but in the awareness of calling information at all times!"
