Stunned today. Some people say that stunting is the most vivid two words in the 24 solar terms, and it is the most passionate expression of spring.
Insects hibernate in the soil after winter, do not eat, drink, and do not move, the ancients called it "sting". The "sting" is deep and sleepy.
And the sting is to use that thunder to wake up the hidden and sleeping creatures, don't be sleepy, don't get lost in the inertia and old patterns, wake up, stretch, and refresh.
Today I will share with you the four classics in Yangming Psychology and the Tao Te Ching, which contain top-level thinking patterns and true understanding, which can make people feel enlightened and used for a lifetime.
The way of the saint is self-sufficient
Believe that there are endless treasures in your heart.
In 1506, Mr. Yang Ming was demoted to Longchang, Guizhou because of his opposition to the eunuch Liu Jin. Longchang belongs to the alpine zone, the environment is harsh, sparsely populated, and poisonous snakes and beasts often appear. There was a miasma all over the place, and the people who went there were nine deaths.
In such a difficult environment, Mr. Yang Ming realized his life through the dragon field and achieved his magnificent life.
What did Mr. Yang Ming realize?
The way of the saint is self-sufficientThose who seek reason from things are also mistaken
Yang Ming Psychology reveals the great secret of life for us: everyone has endless treasures and endless potential in their hearts.
As long as we believe and experience this, we can strengthen our faith no matter what difficulties we face. Whether it's a tailwind or a headwind, we can survive strongly.
Because as long as we open the treasure in our hearts, our personal pattern realm can be improved dozens of times or even greater, and our own energy and wisdom can also be improved. By following such a correct path, everyone can break through themselves.
What is the way of a saint in this place?
With a higher level of heart as the heart.
The world is complex and the market is changing rapidly, we can't control these, we can only grasp our own heart.
When encountering a difficult situation, if you always point your finger outward, blaming luck or others, you will only wander in the quagmire, and you will never find the key to open the dilemma.
When Mr. Yang Ming is stuck in the dragon field, he often thinks."What is the way of a saint in this place? "If the saint were in my current situation, what would he do? It is this way of thinking that makes Mr. Yang Ming determined to emulate King Wen and Confucius, deduce the "Zhou Yi", stay in trouble and recuperate, and finally attain the enlightenment of the Dao, realizing the empirical proof of the heart of the sage.
We may not be able to touch the heart of a saint at this moment, but we can still follow Mr. Yang Ming's example and seek a breakthrough in cognition and open up the path of life situation with a higher level of heart as our heart.
The opposite is the way of moving
Go back to the cause of the action of the behavior to solve the problem.
In chapter 40 of the Tao Te Ching, it says".The opposite is the way of movingIt reveals to us the underlying logic of being a man and doing things: what kind of behavior there is, what kind of reaction there is.
"Opposite", there are two meanings of going back and forth and opposite:
The first is back and forth: cold comes and goes, yin and yang grow and fall, the cycle goes back and forth, and the cycle is endless, which is the natural embodiment of the Tao in the process of conception of all things. As the saying goes, "all things are many, and each returns to its roots".
The second is the opposite: the high and the low are inclined to each other, the front and back follow each other, the difficulty is easy to achieve each other, what kind of force there is, there is what kind of reaction force, this is the law that all things in heaven and earth follow.
Every heartfelt thought will be transformed into our consciousness, words, and actions, and ultimately determine the success or failure of things.
When we encounter problems or difficulties, if we only think about the things themselves, it is difficult to make a big breakthrough.
As Mencius put it: ". .Those who can't do it will turn to themselvesOnly by constantly looking inward at one's own heart and returning to the cause of behavior to examine the problem, can we find the origin of the problem and solve the problem fundamentally. Happiness is self-seeking, not fake.
Some are profitable, and nothing is useful
Break through the cage of prejudice and misconceptions.
Thirty spokes have a hub, when there is none, there is a car. 埏埴 as a tool, when it is not, there is a tool for use. The chisel is a room, and when it is not, there is a room. Therefore, some are used for profit, and nothing is used. ”
Chapter 11 of the Tao Te Ching.
Thirty spokes converge in a single hub, and it is precisely because of the hollowness of the hub that it has the purpose of a car. The pottery was fired with water and earth, and it was because of the hollowness in the pottery that the pottery was used. Doors and windows were excavated to build a house, and it was precisely because of the hollowness of the house that the house was used.
Through three examples, Lao Tzu pointed out a common misunderstanding in your thinking, that is, we can often only see "what is for profit", but ignore "what is not for use".
Everything is composed of the unity of opposites of existence and absence, and the existence and absence are indispensable and complement each other.
If we only see what we have and ignore nothing, then we will often backfire when we do things or think.
Today, what everyone is pursuing is often tangible value. Only seeing the tangible, finite things, but not the intangible things, can spread more widely.
For example, the product will become obsolete, but the love of our employees and the trust of our customers will not. With this love and trust, the enterprise has the greatest intangible wealth.
In 2024, there is still a lot of uncertainty in the world, and more and more uncertainty will become the new normal.
If our mindset is still stuck in the past, then this era is bad for us; But if we can embrace and adapt to change, and raise our awareness in time, this era is good for us.
If there is true knowledge, there must be true deeds. Breakthroughs in cognition can lead to real growth.
Only by establishing a correct understanding in the depths of our hearts can we open up a new world of thinking and welcome the endless imagination and infinite possibilities of life.
