Master: "The tenth level is as difficult as reaching the blue sky."
Bai Zihua: "Master, please give me some advice."
Master: "If you want to To break through the tenth level, there are four essential words - 'quietness' and 'return to the heart'"
People who have read "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" may know that Bai Zihua has not broken through the tenth level. God, I don’t think many people remember these four words that Master Bai Zihua once said to him. Maybe Bai Zihua always remembered these four words, but in the end he still didn't do it completely. Maybe we have to admit after all: it is too difficult to achieve these four words, it is really difficult to reach the sky!
From the moment I saw the notice of Uncle Cat’s 22-day action camp, I was actually curious, why can people change in such a short period of time? What's the mystery here? At the same time, he was also tempted by Uncle Cat's reward. Under such circumstances, I participated.
On the first day, Uncle Cat started the launching ceremony of the action camp. He regarded the action camp as the beginning of everyone's "knowledge, action and change". "Insight", I can understand this. With so many people and big names sharing it, it would be strange if they don't gain more experience! But how to guarantee action? How can change be so simple and easy? Confusion always surrounded me, I was ready to move, I wanted to know what was going to happen. Or I evilly want to overturn the last four characters of Uncle Cat! Later, I found out I was wrong.
When I checked in on the first day, I happened to have a rest, and I thought: "How can I write an excellent article? How can I get the approval of the review team?" So, for a whole day, Days, from morning to afternoon, whether I was on the road or eating, I was thinking about it. Finally, in the evening, I completed the first clock-in that I had prepared wholeheartedly. Sleep peacefully.
The next day, I was looking forward to some good news and was always paying attention to the group dynamics. "Yesterday's best check-in", when the battalion commander posted these words in the group, I was highly concentrated. When the briefing was over, "poof", I almost vomited blood. Why? Why wasn't I selected? What are the characteristics of these five works? I was restless, took a deep breath, calmed down and looked at the best works, and also read the recommendations. I began to reflect and ask myself: "Why did you come to this event? For the reward? To prove that your writing is good? To be recognized by others? To satisfy your own vanity?" Silence and close your eyes. , I started talking to myself in my head, should I be like this? What should I do? What are my desires? Silence, finally, I laughed, it turns out that this is what I should do.
On the third day, I set my check-in time as within 45 minutes after the materials were released. First, because I didn’t have much free time to arrange, and second, because what I wanted was not to defeat others. , but improve your abilities every time you check in. Give yourself a time limit to complete the task, but at the same time ensure a certain quality. This is the most basic requirement for yourself, and it is not just for one day. You must do it every time you check in in the future, and always remind yourself that I am participating. The purpose of the activity is to improve one's execution ability and ultimately change oneself. This challenge, after the last check-in at the action camp, I can say with a smile that I succeeded. I did it. My reading speed and ability to analyze materials have been improved. At the same time, I was able to deliver high-quality manuscripts within the specified time. I am very satisfied with myself! Is this enough?
Every time I check in to share, I listen carefully and take relevant notes. First, I ensure that I can concentrate. Second, I don’t have extra time to listen back again. I can directly find the key points by reading the notes. Save yourself time. I casually shared what I compiled in the group. Unexpectedly, it received praise from many people. At that moment, I was confused. Can this also be praised? Just typing and sorting out some key points.
I was praised by so many people! My heart started to feel happy and restless. Well, I have to take notes every time! But when I wanted to type every word of the shared instructor into my notes, I paused. Do I need to do this? Is it necessary to write this sentence into the notes? Why am I so impetuous? Pressing the Delete key on the keyboard, I deleted the restlessness in my mind and became silent again. What is the original intention of organizing notes? It’s to facilitate my review, not to get praise, so what am I doing now? Should it? Again, I laughed. I know what I should do.
I will still listen carefully to the instructor's sharing, I will still take notes in my own way, and I will still share my notes with everyone, but I know that I am not doing this for everyone's praise. I like to take notes. I stick to what I like to do and use it to help my friends in the group so that they can look back. This kind of happiness is the most real and makes me feel more at ease than those "you are awesome" . Until the instructors have finished sharing, I have also completed organizing and sharing each note. Is this enough? Is that really enough? It seems so?
No, how can this be enough? Mr. V’s sharing is deeply recalled in my mind. Why does he know so much? Why can he integrate different knowledge together and still make sense? I even doubt that he is really human? He is an omniscient God! I was silent again: Mr. V’s time wheel picture was spinning in my mind. Time is the fairest resource in the world. Everyone only has 24 hours a day. The only thing I can control is myself. I = body feeling. Thought will. I know the body, touch it, it actually exists. I also know how it feels. For example, just now, I was troubled because I didn’t know what to write. Thoughts, what thoughts do I have? What kind of thinking should I cultivate? Will, what is this? It is still the real owner, why don’t I understand it at all? Mr. V said that the body, feeling, and thought should be used to rub against the outside world to generate force and wake up the will. Then I have to take action, how do I take action? What is the fundamental goal of the action? A golden thread - legislation, legislation for yourself! In this ever-changing and tempting world, what should I stick to? To form specific guidelines around it, what exactly is this "it"? Looking back on the journey of the action camp, I kept being restless and silent, and kept asking myself what my original intention was. I know, I want to be quiet and return to my heart. Life is like a fleeting moment, just suddenly. There are too few who can stay in life. Fame, wealth and wealth can only remain in the world and be chased and fought for by different people, and they will never belong to anyone. I have to guard my state of mind, try to keep it in a state of peace and tranquility, keep myself focused, always ask myself if I have deviated from my original intention, and return to my heart regularly in order to restore the clarity of my mind.
Twenty-two days passed by in a hurry, but instead of breaking Uncle Cat’s “six-word” declaration, I was convinced. These 22 days have taught me that ordinary me may not be able to truly achieve tranquility and return to my heart. Condense the flashy, return to solidity, concentrate on the emptiness, nourish the energy in tranquility, and return to the true nature. At least. I hope that I can endure loneliness and maintain prosperity. It's like my own signature: Don't forget your original intention, and you will always succeed.
