Chapter 58 The Deepest Internal Strength—Mind Power (6)
The monkey grows up and becomes a big monkey. The big monkey is stronger than the little monkey and can carry a lot of things, but after the performance, it is safely tied to the stake by the rope.The big monkey is actually very powerful, but because of its childhood experience, it felt that the wooden stake was stronger than itself, and it was the only thing that could tie itself, so it never dared to challenge the wooden stake.
Why is it difficult for people to unleash the energy hidden in their bodies?Because the energy is locked by the "stakes".
The "stakes" in life can be seen everywhere. People come to the world and begin to understand the world. Many factors such as various social environments have shaped people's values, causing people to trap themselves while accepting the world. It hinders personal development. barriers to potential.
Where exactly are the "stakes"?
It is in people's hearts, and it is people who label themselves as ordinary people and set a frame for their ability to identify themselves.In fact, after jumping over the "stakes" of life, you will find that you have far more abilities than you imagined.
The development of human mind and brain potential is not only the improvement of one's own learning and memory ability, creative ability, or other spiritual and cultural qualities, but the greater potential is that people can use all kinds of external energy potentials and the world to develop their potentials. Achievements, continue to create new miracles, create a new world.
The history of human civilization is a history of people's potential development. The high evolution and development of science and technology are the crystallization of people's thinking, continuous development of potential and continuous creation.From ox carts and horse-drawn carriages to trains and airplanes; from caves and thatched cottages to art palaces and skyscrapers; from primitive singing and dancing entertainment to modern music dramas, movies and television; Exploration and research to the moon...Human beings can develop their own potential endlessly and create new worlds.
As long as we establish a successful and positive attitude and develop people's physical and mental potential, we will have a miracle of creation.There are no major difficulties in front of us, they are all small things.
Potential is the ability that human beings originally possessed but was forgotten, that is, the ability that exists but has not been developed and utilized.The power of potential is hidden deep in our deep consciousness, which is our subconscious.The so-called subconscious mind refers to a mysterious force hidden under our general consciousness.
According to scientific research, the number of human brain nerve cells is about 1500 billion. When the brain nerve cells are stimulated by the outside, they will sprout and then grow into branch neurons, which combine with other brain cells and communicate with each other, which promotes the development of the network. So the information circuit is turned on. However, more than 95% of human neurons are in an unused state. If these sleeping neurons can be awakened, almost everyone can become a superman.
The subconscious mind contains such huge energy, so how can we train our subconscious mind to control the complete self and truly become our own masters?As long as there is mind control, only good impressions or hints can enter the subconscious mind.
Dr. Weatherf Murphy, a well-known American psychologist, once said: We must constantly use words full of hope and expectation to talk to the subconscious mind, and then the subconscious mind will make your life situation clearer, and your hope and expectation will become clearer. Expect to achieve.As long as you don't think about negative things, but choose positive things, you can control your own destiny.
In fact, people are much more capable than they think.People are mostly in disbelief, even though agreeers have asked more than once: "What am I actually? What are my abilities? If I fully harnessed my power and my whole potential, what the hell would I be able to do?" Come? How to master these abilities?"
Hans Seyer, a Canadian morbid psychology expert, studied the estimation of human potential in his book "Discovery in Dreams". He believed that the intellectual energy contained in the human brain is as huge as the physical energy of the atomic nucleus.Therefore, it can be said at least theoretically that human's creative potential is unlimited and inexhaustible.
No one has a clear idea of the limits of his intelligence.The potential of the brain is never fully utilized.Each of us is far more powerful than we think.
Nature has endowed each of us with great potential. Unfortunately, due to lack of various intellectual training, the ability to fully become a genius has not been fully developed.In some way, most people are not destined to be an Einstein-like figure.In fact, no matter what career you are engaged in, it is possible to become a genius in your own field and develop your potential to the maximum extent.Be a creative talent, if not a genius.
Pavlov was a great neuropsychologist.After in-depth study of human's advanced nervous system, he pointed out that man is a system, just like any other natural system, this system also obeys all common and inevitable laws existing in nature.However, the human system is the only system with a high degree of self-regulation ability within the scope of current science.
Pavlov said: "Using our method to study human high-level nervous system activities, the most important and deepest impression we have obtained is that human high-level neural activities have great plasticity and unlimited potential."
The advanced brain nervous system is like the universe, which is difficult to figure out for a while, and because of its mystery, people have more reason to believe that it contains unimaginable energy.
If the right conditions are met, all human potentialities are released and revealed.
Through many sciences, people began to explore the human brain, which has not yet revealed its mystery, and people began to boldly break into the territory called "black box" by cybernetics.
Good thinking requires better thinking to manage.The reason why a genius can be a genius is because he has a "better mind".This is the first impression that all geniuses give people, and it is the reason why they can easily and effectively use all their thinking abilities to create.
Russell, a British mathematician and philosopher, firmly believed that human creativity can be trained just like other aspects of human beings.
Indeed, all good things require hard work and a lifelong pursuit.Without the spirit of perseverance and perseverance, it is impossible to become a real genius.There are no natural geniuses, just like there are no natural fools in this world. When people want to develop their potential more infinitely and extensively, those who degrade themselves infinitely into the dust are so stupid.
We don't have to ask gods to worship Buddha, and we don't have to seek immortality for medical treatment.Because everyone's real god lives in his own heart, with amazing energy, and never far away.A person's greatest enemy is himself, and his best teacher is also himself.Recognize your greatest advantage, and burn your own small universe to the fullest!
Restraint: How to face temptation?
【Temptation is a magical dark magic, and there are traps everywhere in the magic.People are often used to watching the traps of temptation to catch their prey, but it is difficult to know that in fact, every step forward, there will be countless whirlpools of temptation. 】
God created Adam and Eve, and made a Garden of Eden in the east, allowing them to live happily together. The only thing that was forbidden was that they were not allowed to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge.They lived happily in the Garden of Eden, living in harmony with God.
However, the evil serpent tempted Eve.The snake said that if he ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge, he would become like God and be able to distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness.Eve was so tempted by the juicy fruit that she plucked one and ate it.After that, she picked another one and handed it to Adam, who ate it too.Later, when they looked at each other, they realized that they were naked, and they also understood that the bodies of men and women were different, and they felt ashamed.They hastily plucked some fig leaves to cover their bodies.
God was angry, punished them and their descendants, and suffered from hard work to maintain food, clothing, shelter, and transportation to survive.
After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they lost their paradise.Men have to sweat to survive, women have to suffer in childbirth.Could this be the fundamental reason why people find it difficult to resist temptation?
Everyone faces many temptations in life.When I was a child, the temptation was a piece of candy; in the classroom, the temptation was to sneak away for a while; when I grew up, the temptation was all kinds: beautiful women in cars, fame and power, money and clothes... In short, the world is constantly innovating and creating new things. There are more and more temptations, causing more and more people to become psychologically unbalanced, and the beauty and authenticity are no match for the weight of temptation.
In the face of temptation, the brain can help people make correct judgments, but it is often difficult in the specific implementation process.Why do people's good judgment become so vulnerable?According to research, people have a harder time resisting temptation than they think.In modern society, materialistic desires prevail, how to deal with a world full of temptations?This is a difficult puzzle.
There is an old saying in China: three years old see old.In this regard, the researchers also conducted a classic experiment.
The experimenters gave the subjects a piece of candy to children aged about four years old, and told the subjects that if they did not eat the candy after 15 minutes, the experimenters would reward the subjects with another piece of candy.If the subjects ate the sugar, they were not rewarded.
The result of the experiment was that most of the subjects did not resist the temptation of candy and chose to eat candy within 15 minutes, and a small number of subjects insisted on waiting until 15 minutes later.Follow-up surveys of these children have shown that children who have withstood temptation are more successful when they grow up.Through the method of mathematical statistics, the experiment found out the degree of correlation between the ability to resist temptation in childhood and the achievement in adulthood.
Any achievement requires unremitting efforts. Although talent plays a role, the factor of time cannot be ignored.Sometimes effort plays a decisive role.
Evidenced by the famous "[-]-hour law", which shows that it takes more than [-] hours of unremitting training to practice any skill to the world level. However, in most cases, long-term training cannot be completed only by interest of.When everyone is doing one thing, it is easy to be tempted by other things.This is not a case, but the inherent nature of everyone.
A doll is often reprimanded by parents for being greedy or mischievous; a student is easily tempted by other things when learning knowledge courses, such as being addicted to the Internet, puppy love, etc.; an official may also be tempted by money And went to jail.In fact, many people can't achieve success because they don't have a good ability to resist temptation.This suggests that greater self-control leads to greater achievement.In life, we need to better control ourselves and think more about the future.
Temptation is a magical dark magic, and there are traps everywhere in the magic.People are often used to watching the traps of temptation to catch their prey, but it is difficult to know that in fact, every step forward, there will be countless whirlpools of temptation.
A man was catching fish by the lake, but the fish were so dexterous that they disappeared before his fingers touched the water.So the man found an empty can, took out the bait from his bag, stuffed it into the can, and then sank the can under the water surface—the fish smelled the scent of the bait, and immediately surrounded the can.
After a while, I saw the little fish circle around the pot, but no fish went into the pot.At this time, a fisherman came up on the dam. Seeing the situation, he smiled and said, "Just replace this opaque can with a transparent mineral water bottle." Follow the scent and "file in" from the mouth of the bottle...
It seems that fish can only guard against the temptation in the dark, but cannot avoid the traps in the open.People tend to only be alert to the danger in the dark, but think that the temptation in the open is an easy-to-get benefit, and they will fall into the trap of life as a result.In fact, the temptation of "dark places" is not dangerous, because the instinct of "fear of the dark" will help people stay away from these temptations; the temptation of "light places" is the most dangerous.If you want to avoid it, you need to have a heart that refuses all temptations.
Freud's point of view is that human instincts cause the impulse of the id, and the "superego" and social moral constraints suppress many human instincts.He said: "We believe that under the pressure of survival competition, human beings have tried their best to give up the satisfaction of primitive impulses and create culture. He sacrifices his instinctive enjoyment for profit, and the instinctive impulses he utilizes, especially the sexual instinct, are the most important.
There is a concept in psychology called "delayed gratification".The so-called delayed gratification refers to a choice orientation that is willing to give up immediate gratification for more valuable long-term results, as well as the self-control ability while waiting.
According to the "Grand Views of the Unofficial History of the Qing Dynasty": During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Feng Zhiqi, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, loved calligraphy and painting on inscriptions.But he never mentioned this hobby in front of people, and he was even more silent when he went on inspections in other places, not revealing the slightest hint of his heart.Once a subordinate gave him a copy of Song Tuo's inscription, and Feng returned it intact. Someone advised him to open it and have a look.Feng Zhiqi said that this kind of antique is a rare treasure. Once I open it, I may not put it down; if I don't open it, I can imagine it is a fake. "Seal his heart and eyes, cut off his temptation, what can I do?"
Feng Zhiqi's heartfelt words enlighten us, because most people's ability to resist temptation is often limited and fragile, and he is no exception.So he chose to overcome temptation.The surest way to overcome temptation is to stay away from temptation.
In order to develop, society has created corresponding forms of social organization and ideological theories to restrict the free release of instincts and transform them into a more advanced method.
People also created various forms of political organization to carry out "enlightenment education".In the process of enlightenment education, the society plays the role of another parent, transforming and guiding human nature, and establishing a person's moral standard, which is the "superego".
Society is like a huge machine. Industrial civilization has built this machine to be omnipotent. People are like parts in this machine. Many personalities and id desires are covered by the roaring sound of this machine. , constrained by the rules and regulations of this gigantic machine.
There seems to be a ghost in society, an invisible ghost, and this "social subconscious" ghost is driving the development of society.At the same time, some individual interests may be sacrificed.However, is it a good thing to completely indulge one's own desires without regard to the requirements of society and others?not necessarily.Just imagine, if you completely indulge your own desires, what is the difference between humans and animals?
Human beings have created civilizations for thousands of years, but at the same time, human beings have also limited a lot of self-restraint.From ancient times to the present, both religious philosophy and education have tried to shape restraint. It can be said that a hundred schools of thought are letting go and contending.For example, different religions have theories about limiting desires; Confucianism once proposed "restraining oneself and restoring rituals";
In fact, everyone has their own freedom to choose the theory they believe in, and also has their own freedom to choose the degree of restriction of "id".And the basis of this kind of freedom is actually the restriction of freedom, the basis of realizing the "self" is also the restriction of the "self", this is reality.This kind of restriction on freedom is also the most basic and important restriction, as the saying goes, "Do not do to others what you do not want done to you."
In short, there are no rules and regulations, and the rules and restrictions are to make people's lives more orderly. In order to gain more freedom, it is necessary to improve "immunity".In the midst of materialism, make sure not to lose yourself.
Relaxation training: what is "ego"?
【Everyone has too much ego in their hearts. If you can't let go of yourself, the pain will never end. It's like not letting go of the fire in your hand, and you are doomed to burn yourself. 】
Modern people are faced with more and more opportunities and competitions, so the pressure they need to bear will also increase. This is an unchangeable fact, and because of this, there are many troubles and disturbances, and it is difficult to find peace.
"Records of Consciousness Only" records: "There are many types of afflictions and obstacles. Self-attachment is the root, and all afflictions arise. If you don't attach to ego, there will be no afflictions."
In Buddhism, "self-attachment" is interpreted as the attachment to all tangible and intangible things, and human beings are obsessed with their own shortcomings.Including arrogance, self-satisfaction, low self-esteem, greed... Can't let go of oneself, clinging to one's own ideas, practices, personality, etc., can't lift the obligations and responsibilities of oneself and others, too strong self-awareness and lack of collective awareness and dedication, Or focus too much on yourself and ignore others, etc.
It seems that "ego" has become the root of all suffering.There is too much self in everyone's heart, if you can't let go of yourself, the pain will never end, just like if you can't let go of the fire in your hand, you are doomed to burn yourself.
In the era of materialistic desires, there are temptations everywhere. People have their own attitudes and desires, but they often consume too much spirituality in the process of pursuit, and the pure heart is slowly swallowed. Pain, disappointment, and embarrassment , despair... pouring like a tide.And all of this is an objective phenomenon.
Suppose a person has just lost a loved one, caught an unexpected disease, been reprimanded by a leader, or plotted by a peddler... Facing all these, it is impossible for anyone to remain calm, and anger is likely to emerge , complaining, maddening, suffering like an obsession.
Once you clearly realize that this is caused by "ego", and try to get rid of "ego" in your heart, how rational and wise it is.If you can let go of your "ego", you can breathe in what you don't want, and breathe out what you desire.This may seem absurd, but it has a profound truth, because in the fact of "ego", people always want to avoid or put aside things that make them painful or uncomfortable, and firmly attract all things that make them feel happy. things.

It seems that "ego" has become the root of all suffering.There is too much self in everyone's heart, if you can't let go of yourself, the pain will never end, just like if you can't let go of the fire in your hand, you are doomed to burn yourself.
In the era of materialistic desires, there are temptations everywhere. People have their own attitudes and desires, but they often consume too much spirituality in the process of pursuit, and the pure heart is slowly swallowed. Pain, disappointment, and embarrassment , despair... pouring like a tide.And all of this is an objective phenomenon.
Suppose a person has just lost a loved one, caught an unexpected disease, been reprimanded by a leader, or plotted by a peddler... Facing all these, it is impossible for anyone to remain calm, and anger is likely to emerge , complaining, maddening, suffering like an obsession.
Once you clearly realize that this is caused by "ego", and try to get rid of "ego" in your heart, how rational and wise it is.If you can let go of your "ego", you can breathe in what you don't want, and breathe out what you desire.This may seem absurd, but it has a profound truth, because in the fact of "ego", people always want to avoid or put aside things that make them painful or uncomfortable, and firmly attract all things that make them feel happy. things.
