On the basis of rational thinking, if we go one step further to investigate things, we will reach the third level of investigating things - sensibility.
There is a difference between the sensibility here and the first level of emotion. In the past, what we called sensibility was the sensibility containing positive energy and the sensibility of negative energy, and the sensibility part of negative energy was called To be emotional, this part of positive energy is the real sensibility. To be more precise, sensibility is emotion based on rational thinking. Without rationality, sensibility is impossible.
The difference between perceptual and emotional is that it is no longer based on the instinctive ego, but on the basis of rational thinking, choosing to achieve the greater self. Emotion is an animal instinct, reflecting material pursuits related to desires, while sensibility represents spiritual meaning and value.
One of the hallmarks of sensibility is meaning, which means pursuing meaning when doing anything. Take sacrifice and dedication, for example. When we are emotional, we all do it for a certain desire, the so-called sacrifice caused by religious fanaticism or ignorance. Emotional sacrifice and dedication are based on rational thinking. , in pursuit of some meaning.
When a person can pursue meaning more and more, it means that he is becoming less and less objectified, and he can gradually break away from the limitations of material desires, so there is something in his sensibility. Responsibility, duty, mission, honor and selflessness.
According to "The sky is moving vigorously, a gentleman will constantly strive for self-improvement; the terrain is turbulent, a gentleman will be virtuous," we can divide perceptual feelings into two categories, one is self-improvement, and the other is self-improvement. Virtue carries things. Among them, self-improvement represents the meaning and value of protecting oneself and pursuing to make oneself stronger and stronger, while being virtuous means protecting others, which may be one's relatives, unrelated people, or even all mankind. A better life, and give yourself a mission and meaning.
The sensibility of self-improvement is reflected in the spirit of bravery, resilience, honor, etc. General Napoleon once famously said, "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." If you want to be an excellent general, become As you become stronger and stronger, heroic resilience and honor will be the emotional meaning you pursue.
Sacrifice, dedication, and patience are the emotional manifestations of virtue. Behind these keywords are not for oneself, but for others. A responsible person or soldier will naturally have these spirits. In order to protect his family and country, he will silently endure and dedicate himself, and even choose to sacrifice himself.
Another example is the "retrograde" warriors who have emerged on the front line of the anti-epidemic this time. What makes them choose to stand up bravely at a time when people's lives, health and safety are threatened, and are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect everyone? The safety of the people? As a retrograde warrior said, not being afraid is fake, and the psychological pressure is also great, but after putting on that nurse uniform, you will instantly enter the role and just want to do the job at hand, so there is no fear. Emotional. This is sensibility, a self-sufficient sense of responsibility and mission.
The highest expression of sensibility is spiritual pursuit. When the level of studying things reaches the perceptual state, the 500-energy level consciousness state is stimulated. At this time, we are no longer individuals with only body and no soul, we have our own independent spiritual world. In this world, it doesn't matter what a thousand people say, nor what a million people admire, there is only one's own spiritual pursuit.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang is a man of miraculous calculations and is called "Jue Zhi", the representative of rationality, while Guan Yu values ????kindness and trustworthiness the most, and is called "Jue Yi", the representative of sensibility. figure. His lifelong spiritual pursuit was grace and righteousness, and he managed to stick to it throughout his life, never changing.
"Three Kingdoms" records that after Guan Yu learned the news about his eldest brother Liu Bei, he wrote a letter intending to say goodbye to Cao Cao. This letter is "Guan Yu Ci's Letter to Prime Minister Cao", which reads:
From the letter, it can be seen that Guan Yu's spiritual pursuit is faith, and he has achieved the goal of not being promiscuous in wealth, being unable to move in poverty, and being mighty. Unyielding, always stick to your faith, unmoving like a mountain.
After Guan Yu's death, his spirit of kindness and righteousness was still highly praised by the world, and he was gradually deified. For example, in Taoism, he was called the Guan Sheng Emperor and the Demon-Conquering Emperor, and he was one of the four Taoist marshals to protect the law; In Buddhism, he was named Jialan, the protector of the law. In the Qing Dynasty, he was even regarded as the "god of loyalty and righteousness, the god of loyalty, the spirit of martial arts, the benevolence, the bravery, the majesty of Guan, the great emperor", and was revered as the "martial sage", as famous as the "literary sage" Confucius.
Why can Guan Yu be canonized as a god? Because his spiritual pursuit has reached an energy level of over 500, his conscious energy has become equal to that of God. In addition, in Guan Yu's spiritual world, he has a pure heart of faith, but he makes different choices when facing different things. Therefore, he is Guan Erye, a symbol of loyalty and the incarnation of God.
Emotion is a mission, responsibility, and more importantly, meaning based on rational thinking. It is a pure spiritual pursuit. In a perceptual realm, all people and things in the outside world have nothing to do with me. I only focus on my own spiritual world. On the basis of rational thinking, I not only pursue perceptual meanings, but also establish my own spiritual pursuits, and ultimately build a world of my own. independent spiritual world. In this world, you are your true master, and you can be your own master anytime, anywhere, no matter rich or poor, life or death.
