Jiang Cheng listened attentively.
Cui Benshan said, "Anxiang District is the darkest place in the city's consciousness, so the entire area shows the most chaotic and terrifying scene in the city. Here, gangs are rampant, and various criminal incidents such as robberies and firefights are frequent. Staged. I am actually not surprised by all this. But after a period of observation, I found that many things here are beyond my knowledge.”
"What are you referring to?" To Jiang Cheng, everything here is bizarre and weird, and almost nothing is not strange.
Cui Benshan thought for a while and asked, "How much do you know about urban consciousness?"
Jiang Cheng thought about it carefully and replied, "Xu Dingjia mentioned to me that he only said that people with special abilities or unconsciousness can freely enter and leave Anxiang District. In fact, I have always had doubts about this sentence. If Anxiang District is a It’s a closed space, why do people in Yilin City still know of its existence?”
"It seems that you really don't know much about this place." Cui Benshan said, "It's very simple, because the Anxiang District they saw is actually a projection of the real Anxiang District. It is also the darkest place in the city, but What happens there are actually just shadows. Even just shadows are enough to make the citizens of Yilin feel afraid of there, and then they subconsciously want to stay away from there. In fact, because the real Anxiang District is a closed space, Therefore, outsiders cannot enter.”
"Just a shadow?" Jiang Cheng frowned and continued to ask, "Why is this?"
Cui Benshan stretched out his finger, drew a pattern on the ground, and asked, "Do you recognize this?"
Jiang Cheng looked down and saw a circle drawn on the ground, with a point on each side and a wavy line in the middle. Basically, anyone who is Chinese knows this pattern, so he replied, "Isn't this a Tai Chi diagram?"
Cui Benshan said, "Everything has two sides, yin and yang, and so does urban consciousness. The world exposed in Yilin City is real and clear, and the residents are just like ordinary people. This is the yang side of urban consciousness. The yin side is expressed in , is illusory, blurry, like a shadow. This is the form that Anxiang District shows to the outside world. That projection is also a part of Anxiang District. Relatively speaking, you can even say that the projection is real, and we are now The Anxiang District where it is located is illusory."
Jiang Cheng felt his head hurt when he heard it, and asked, "Are we in reality or illusion now? Is everything around us fake?"
Cui Benshan smiled instead and asked, "Excuse me, what is the truth?"
Jiang Cheng was speechless for a moment. In his understanding, didn't reality exist as a matter of course? Aren't what he came into contact with, saw, and heard every day all true? However, once he was asked to describe the real person, Jiang Cheng didn't know where to start.
Cui Benshan saw that Jiang Cheng was silent and said to himself, "Illusion and reality are relative, or in other words, this is just a concept created subjectively by humans."
Jiang Cheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard this. Facing Cui Benshan, he felt the same as when he first talked with Xu Dingjia.
"Are you panicking in your heart?" Cui Benshan looked at Jiang Cheng, his eyes so sharp that he seemed to have penetrated Jiang Cheng's heart.
Admittedly, this was the first time Jiang Cheng heard such remarks, and he felt that his world view was showing signs of being shaken. But he knew this was just the beginning. Moreover, in the midst of panic, Jiang Cheng's desire for knowledge rose again, and the contradiction between the two made him feel inexplicably calm. Jiang Cheng looked back at Cui Benshan and answered honestly, "There is panic, but there is also a desire for knowledge. Xu Dingjia once told me that what you see and hear may not be true. I already understand this. People's facial features will always be subjective. Or be deceived by hallucinations, only through the enlightenment of spiritual consciousness can the reality be realized. But today when I heard what you said, it seemed to be different, which made me feel confused again. Please explain to me in detail the mystery between illusion and reality. "
"Very good." Cui Benshan smiled happily and continued, "People in the world always think that what is within reach is real, but this is actually a fallacy. What you see and hear is also a dream and a bubble, like dew or lightning, you can't catch it after chasing it. Now I said There is essentially no difference between illusion and reality and what Xu Dingjia said. The fact that you still have doubts shows that you are still trapped by common sense and there is a difference between illusion and reality in your mind."
"According to this meaning, shouldn't there be a difference between reality and illusion?" Jiang Cheng became even more confused.
Cui Benshan said, "Empty is color, color is emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, and color is not different from emptiness. The so-called color refers to the form, that is, the image of things, or the things that exist. The essence of all things is empty, so the two are one, and the two are one. No difference.”
After listening to what Cui Benshan said so mysteriously, Jiang Cheng was completely enlightened. But strangely, he found himself making a slight nod, and a feeling of enlightenment emerged in his consciousness.
Cui Benshan noticed the change in Jiang Cheng's mentality and temporarily stopped talking. Instead, he said, "Please carefully feel the feeling in your heart."
Jiang Cheng followed Cui Benshan's instructions and entered a meditative state again. In his consciousness, he noticed some unspeakable information. The deeper I feel about that kind of information, the more obvious the feeling of enlightenment becomes. Gradually, the information changed and became able to be expressed in words, but it did not become clear and clear. Jiang Cheng was puzzled, but suddenly realized, and was once again conflicted in his heart.
However, fortunately, Jiang Cheng has the experience of surviving the obsession before, so he can relax his heart and show an attitude that is tolerant of all things. The contradictory feeling still exists, but it no longer causes harm to Jiang Cheng's consciousness.
Jiang Cheng, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, also understood that the more sober and wise a person is, the more and more profound his doubts will actually be. If his state of mind cannot be improved, he will fall into a terrible situation. No wonder those in the world who are most likely to have inner demons are often accomplished people.
After understanding this, Jiang Cheng felt peaceful and happy, and the conflict became even more insignificant.
Only then did Jiang Cheng look back and gain a new understanding of the information he received. Those information are deep consciousness, which are sensed by the True Self. They are high-dimensional information, so it is difficult to describe them using low-dimensional language. When I use my mind to communicate with the true God, my understanding of the information deepens, and gradually the high-dimensional information is reduced in dimension, so that part of it can be described. However, this also loses part of the true meaning of high-dimensional information. The so-called "Tao can be taught, but it is not the eternal Tao" and "Buddha said it cannot be explained" is exactly what it means.
However, for Jiang Cheng now, this is enough for him to gain enlightenment.
After understanding this, Jiang Cheng finally opened his eyes and returned to reality.
Jiang Cheng said, "Indeed, the essence of all things is empty. To put it in a scientific way, everything in the world is vibrating ripples, showing different postures due to different frequencies. Just like light, photons vibrate at different frequencies, giving birth to Various visible and invisible colors. Sound, temperature, touch, and thoughts are all the same. Vibration constitutes what we think of as the real world. In fact, the real world is the vibration itself. Color is emptiness, and color is not different from emptiness. This is true. "
"Vibration, frequency, you finally found the key point." Cui Benshan said with a smile, stroking his hands, "So, the illusion and reality in Anxiang District are only relative, but essentially they are the difference in frequency. You can be in the outside world, It’s because the outside world has the same frequency as you, so the outside world is real, while Anxiang District becomes illusory, and vice versa.”
Jiang Cheng woke up from a dream, "I understand."
At this point, Cui Benshan suddenly stopped, turned to look outside the building, and said, "A guest is here."
