Wandao long distance

Chapter 440 Question of the Spiritual Dao
The other party suddenly turned from gossip to the main topic, which made Li Qi slightly confused, but he immediately realized that the previous stories were just foreshadowing.

Lingdao, in the final analysis, encountered the same problem as Li Qi did back then.

Wang Dun continued: "The extreme northern monsters live in a bitterly cold place and cannot get enough material life all the year round. Therefore, the most common way for them to spend the winter there is to gather together and listen to the elders of the clan. , which also allowed them to develop the trait of not caring about material enjoyment, but paying more attention to spiritual enjoyment.”

"However, after leaving the body for the first time, they encountered a problem. Although the spirit can exist by itself, it cannot perceive it. To be precise...the spirit can only perceive itself. Li Qi, do you understand?" Wang Dun looked at Li Qi and asked.

"Of course I understand. I have thought about this question before." Li Qi smiled.

This is indeed a problem. The spirit can only perceive and exist by itself, but it cannot confirm the existence of other minds. This is also the basis for the birth of magic.

Mo Dao focuses on self-perception and self-existence, to the point of completely ignoring the existence of other spiritual entities. This is why Mo Dao always does extremely absurd things, because they don't care about the feelings of other spirits.

All of this is just because the mind only has the ability of self-perception, but not the ability of external perception. Only matter has the ability of external perception.

Each of us can intuitively perceive that we have spiritual experience from the perspective of No.1.

However, when the ego looks at other people, it is like Li Qi looking at Wang Dun. Li Qi can only see Wang Dun's body and confirm the existence of the other party physically, but he cannot feel Wang Dun's inner experience and cannot confirm it. Wang Dun's soul exists.

This is the so-called asymmetry of mind perception, which is one of the essential properties of the mind.

In the past, Daoist Nanhua Daoist once discovered this point, so there is a 'Zifeiyu, how do you know the joy of fish? ', and the conclusion of 'Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? 'question.

Each of us is necessarily other than himself, and therefore necessarily incapable of perceiving anything other than ourselves, which is a great difficulty for the pure spirit.

"This almost completely merged Lingdao with Demonic Dao, and almost caused a catastrophe. However, fortunately, Lingdao finally found a way to observe other minds, which is now the 'Taoism Reader'."

"With the 'Tao Principle Reader', Lingdao can clearly perceive the existence of other spirits, as well as the existence of the material world, so this kind of thing becomes the eyes, ears and other sense organs of people in Lingdao , and evidence to prove the existence of other people, in order to maintain the stability of Lingdao."

"As for those of us who have material bodies and senses, we don't need to use this thing, and it's meaningless to us. It's just a waste of money." Wang Dun spread his hands.

Speaking of this, Wang Dun immediately asked: "So, Li Qi, can you tell me why you have a Taoist reader? You are using this thing to replace your material senses. Why, this has nothing to do with your identity as a witch It doesn't match right?"

But Li Qi didn't answer this question. Instead, he said: "I'll talk about this later. Dare I ask Brother Wang, how does this Taoist reader work? How can we confirm the existence of the outside world?"

"You already have a Dao reader, don't you know it yourself? Of course you have passed the verification of Dao." Wang Dun said as a matter of course.

"In the spirit, only pure thinking and logic can exist, but these things in pure logic can have a wonderful correspondence with the real material world, which is enough to prove the strange connection between spirit and matter, isn't it? "

Li Qi nodded in agreement.

Pure logic can indeed wonderfully reflect the material world, such as mathematics.

Mathematically transcendental things can always be reflected in the material world, but anything that can be established mathematically can basically be established in the material world.

This is the mapping relationship between logic and the world. In the final analysis, the world follows logic, even if the logic itself is not complete.

Seeing that Li Qi understood this, Wang Dun continued to explain: "So, this is very simple. If logic can be mapped to reality, then you only need to understand logic and then map it to reality to understand the nature of the real material world. This is the Taoist Reader, the reason for this name is because Lingdao believes that Tao is logic, and logic is Tao.”

"If the world operates according to logic, such as the existence of the law of causality, then logic is undoubtedly transcendental and instructive, then such a thing cannot be called Tao, and what can be called Tao? "

"If such a thing can be called the Tao, then it must conform to the rules of logic. As long as it is verified and communicated through logic, it is naturally possible to observe other people's minds to determine the existence of other people's minds, isn't it?"

Wang Dun said so.

Li Qi fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, and then clapped his hands and cheered!

That's it!

It's wonderful, wonderful!
Taoism can be compared to language.

A language must conform to certain rules before it can be understood by others. If it is a so-called private language, that is, purely subjective feelings, if it does not have any rules, you will not be able to understand it after a while, so this It is something that cannot be understood and cannot be communicated.

Once a language has rules, then such rules must be public. As long as it can be understood by yourself, it can be understood by others in principle, so it is not a private language.

Through this method of counter-evidence, it can be proved that the so-called private language does not exist, and it is impossible to exist a language that can only be known by myself in principle, but that cannot be known by others.

That is to say, there cannot be a 'Tao' that only I can understand and others cannot.

When we use language, or other things, such as mathematics and Taoism, to express our inner feelings, it must abide by a language rule, it must be public, and it can be understood by others , otherwise, the language that cannot be understood by others, and I cannot understand it myself.

The meaning of this kind of language, or the way of communication, is not that it reflects our inner secret ideas, but that it is an activity, a kind of practice, and the meaning of language lies in its usage in practice.

This way of communication is a manifestation of behavior. We use language to report and describe. Language is always a manifestation of action, an activity, and a practice.

And all activities and practices must be implemented, and there is no doubt about it.

So, the question of the existence of other minds is not an object of knowledge, or of theorizing.

It is pointless to question this.

For example, who do you expect to listen to the skepticism that other people don't have minds?

You said that other people may not have a soul, they are all puppets, or they are all reflections of your own heart, then when you ask this question to other people, you expect these puppets to listen and explain to you, right?

If you expect so, do you already subjectively think that other people have the ability to answer and think?

Or, from the perspective of others, you are a puppet who does not necessarily have a mind, so for me, this question is thrown by a puppet. A puppet says we are puppets?
So, it's not worth bothering with.

Such skepticism will make any communication between people meaningless.

Therefore, we can believe in others through 'language' or Taoism, and use others to provide guarantees for the objective reality of this world. Although the inaccessibility of the other's heart is irrevocable, an absolute The transcendental self is not the whole of the objective world, because it has been disproven through the logic of the Tao.

Li Qi suddenly realized, and exclaimed "Wonderful!"
This exchange directly deepened Li Qi's interpretation of the vision of information flow to a new level.

It turned out to be the case.

Just from this conversation, Li Qi suddenly had a new understanding, which will definitely be used next time!
Going out to travel can really increase your knowledge!
"Okay, okay, let's go back later and digest it slowly, Li Qi, let's talk about why you have a Taoist reader, this thing can't be refined by witchcraft." Wang Dun Smiling to calm down Li Qi, he asked the question again, with a more serious tone.

Apparently, he was a little suspicious of Li Qi's sneaking past several times before.

"Haha, since the doubts in my heart have been resolved, it's okay to tell Brother Wang. This Taoist reader also comes from a similar predicament." Li Qi said with a smile, feeling very comfortable in his heart.

He got the second weapon against the demons!

Heavenly Demon is the ultimate solipsism, which is also the essence of Demonic Dao, namely: "Everything in the world is the spiritual projection of 'I', and everything in the world is meaningless except for 'I'."

With this, the Heavenly Demon even created the "Desire Realm", an existence that encompasses all realities.

But now, Lingdao gave an answer, an answer that can confirm the existence of other spirits. Although the demon may have ten thousand ways to refute this answer, it doesn't matter. Li Qi only needs to have this answer in his heart.

"A similar predicament? How do you say that?" Wang Dun was puzzled.

"It's like this, I had an adventure in the past, and I was accidentally stained with a drop of five aggregates demonic blood..." Li Qi began to tell.

"Contaminated with the five-element demonic blood? Can you still live?!" Wang Dun was shocked!
After being stained with the devil blood of the five aggregates, he still hasn't died. What kind of fierce man is this?
You have to know, what kind of existence is the Five Aggregates Demon?
The four demons of magic.

The leader is naturally that he transforms himself into a celestial demon, which can manifest all kinds of terrifying abnormal shapes, terrorizes practitioners at night, or manifests the five most wonderful desires, to disturb Bodhisattvas, or change people's hearts in the world as a great offering. If a practitioner is greedy If you make offerings, you will lose your mind and become a demon of illusion.

The other three demons are in order:

The demon of affliction is the hundred and eight kinds of afflictions in the body, which can disturb the minds and minds of all living beings, take away wisdom and life, and make it impossible to achieve Bodhi.

Death demons, those who cut off human life and cause death, can cause the four elements of sentient beings to scatter, die young, and make it impossible for practitioners to continue their wisdom life.

The five khandhas, that is, the accumulation of the five khandhas such as form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness, form the bitter fruit of life and death. This life and death law can take away wisdom and life, and can cause sentient beings to suffer from various obstacles.

The four demons are the nightmare of countless practitioners. They have ruined the Taoism of countless people. They are all real giants in the demonic way.

A drop of blood from the Five Aggregates Demon, dripping on the body of a person of the seventh rank, it should be directly melted, the body and mind will be corrupted, and they will not be able to reincarnate forever. How can they stand up alive and laugh with others?
Not to mention the seventh rank, even the fourth and fifth ranks, there is no way out.

"Brother Wang is serious. It's not the real five-aggregation demon blood, but the purified and inactive five-aggregation demon blood. Although it is also very dangerous, its power has been greatly reduced." Li Qi quickly explained.

Daheitian has a Gabala bowl in his hand, which contains the blood of the four demons. He often drinks this blood from the bowl, which symbolizes the power of his Buddhist Dharma protector to suppress demons.

What Li Qi touched was a drop of blood spilled from this bowl.

"Purified? Impossible! Who is capable of purifying the blood of the Five-Aggregates Demon? That is the Five-Aggregates Demon! Who can have such ability?" Wang Dun didn't believe it.

Li Qi spat out three words:

"Dark sky."

When the words "Daheitian" came out, Wang Dun was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

In the end, he could only bow his hands: "Brother Li's encounter is so bizarre, it's really admirable."

"Let's get down to business, anyway, after I came into contact with that drop of the five aggregates' demonic blood, the five aggregates were blinded, and I lost all perception, and also lost the ability to observe matter." Li Qi said so.

"Understandable, but... you were able to survive in such a desperate situation. Did you develop this Taoism reader from scratch? Or did you inherit it by accident?" Wang Dun asked curiously.

He has fully understood.

Li Qi had also been in contact with pure spirit, and created the Dao reader by himself.

"It's not like starting from scratch, because I had guessed about the pure spirit before, and that time it just forced me to conduct research in that area again." Li Qi said modestly.

Wang Dun was in awe: "It turned out that I started from the beginning by myself. Brother Li is really amazing. He is so talented. I don't know how to reward him. Go to my academy and explain to us how we did it at that time? Don't worry, My society is in Dongyu, and Brother Li's reward will not be missed!"

"The narration with Brother Wang today has benefited me a lot. If we can really communicate with each other, what's the point of talking about one or two? You don't need to pay. I should be preparing ships in Dongyu today. I will wait for you to be free. I can do it anytime." Li Qixin readily agreed.

The two chatted very happily, it seemed like they hit it off, and neither of them ever suspected that the other party was lying or something like that. They each agreed on the next meeting, and then said goodbye to each other.

However, as soon as he turned around, Li Qi's expression darkened.
