Chapter 349 Awareness and Awakening

One of the great benefits of getting up early is that you can have a leisurely breakfast.

More than twenty minutes.

Toki Mochizuki made coffee and made a sumptuous breakfast.

There are freshly baked vegetable and egg sandwiches, blueberry waffles, poached prawns and broccoli, and cut fruit for table.

In the early morning, the sun after the snow falls on it, which is so beautiful that it makes people move their index fingers.

"It's amazing." Ning Youguang praised while taking pictures.

After breakfast, Shi Mochizuki went to the bathroom to take a surprise shower. He was wiping his dripping hair with a towel, "What do you eat for breakfast these days?"

"Sometimes in the cafeteria, sometimes by myself." Ning Youguang put down his phone after taking pictures.

Shi Mochizuki sighed, "Don't you really want a chef on call?"

"What do you want the chef to do? You can't eat it." Ning Youguang raised his eyebrows, "I wish I had delicious food on call."

She tapped lightly on her mobile phone, "Takeaway."

"..."

Shi Mochizuki suddenly felt that earning a lot of money was not so profitable.

...

After breakfast, Shi Mochizuki stepped on the snow to go to work.

Ning Youguang planned to read books and attend lectures while it was still early.

After a while, Zhuang Yijing sent a video, "What are you doing?"

She is doing makeup.

"Reading, listening to lectures." Ning Youguang put his phone aside.

The two chatted while doing their own things.

"There are so many books and so much knowledge in the world, it is destined to be endless, what should I do?" Zhuang Yijing asked while wiping his face.

"Why are you afraid that the truth is endless? Every inch of progress is joy." Ning Youguang said calmly.

"Okay." Zhuang Yijing patted his face and smiled.

She feels that Ning Youguang has many qualities that she likes and admires, but what fascinates her the most is that she never stops searching, responding, and learning...

She never stopped evolving and becoming a better person.

Seeing Ning Youguang alone in the dormitory, Zhuang Yijing couldn't help asking, "Do you feel lonely living alone now?"

Ning Youguang pressed the pause button on the online class he was listening to, "Loneliness is not because there is no one around you. The real reason for feeling lonely is that you cannot communicate with others about your most important feelings."

"It makes sense." Zhuang Yi nodded.

"I didn't say that." Ning Youguang smiled.

"who said it?"

"Jung."

"Oh, you are a master." Zhuang Yijing was convinced, "So you mean you won't feel lonely, right?"

"That's right." Ning Youguang said, "I have never felt lonely." In this life.

"But some people say that most people in the world are lonely. Loneliness hides in every cell and survives tenaciously." Zhuang Yijing couldn't understand the state she said, "I often feel quite lonely, not alone. Sometimes, there are many people together, such as some social occasions, the more lively, the more lonely."

"Why?" Ning Youguang asked softly.

Zhuang Yijing stopped his hands and thought for a while, "Maybe I know that everyone is pretending. They are all masked people, hiding their true self, so they feel empty and lonely."

"In this case..." Ning Youguang said, "Maybe I am living my life selectively, consciously filtering my social circle, and the information I hear, watch, and think around me, so that I can let the Keep yourself in a relatively controllable, comfortable and peaceful state."

"You are quite quiet." Zhuang Yijing said enviously, "Sometimes I really envy you, you can always live your ideal life soberly."

Ning Youguang smiled softly, "Then do you know that every sober person grows up in solitude? Because only when a person is alone and quiet can he have the opportunity to face and examine his own soul."

"Is that so?" Zhuang Yijing fell into deep thought, "It seems that when I attend social events in the future, I have to seize the opportunity. After all, it is a very good opportunity to face and examine my own soul."

Ning Youguang smiled and said, "Then you have to raise your awareness."

"What is awareness?" Zhuang Yijing asked.

"Awareness means that you can see all kinds of thoughts in your brain very clearly, such as greedy thoughts, angry thoughts, hatred thoughts, and even various desires in your brain. You are only a watcher." Ning Youguang Say.

"I'm just a spectator?" Zhuang Yijing couldn't understand, "How to do this?"

"Let me give you an analogy." Ning Youguang said, "You are walking on the road and see a black cloud floating in the sky. If you look at this black cloud and think, 'Ah, here comes the black cloud. ', 'Is it going to rain?', 'It's going to rain and I have to run fast', 'Oops! My clothes on the balcony are still confiscated!', 'What should I do?' and so on, you are not the brain You are not the watcher of the thought, but become the thought. But if you see a black cloud and just think 'oh black cloud' and then, without thinking about other things associated with the black cloud in your head, you are watching Or. Think of all those thoughts and thoughts in your head as that black cloud that sees and disappears - you are not affected by it, you just watch it come and go. If you can remember, whatever appears in your mind What, you just watch [these will disappear, I am not thoughts, your thoughts are not me], and that watching is awareness."

Zhuang Yijing felt almost dizzy.

She frowned, "I have to think about it."

After a while, he asked again, "What if I agree with the brain's thoughts? What's the situation?"

"If you agree with the thoughts of your brain, feel that the thoughts in your brain are you, and you agree with it no matter what you think, and follow it, you are unconscious." Ning Youguang said, "A person who is unconscious is like a person who is surrounded by himself. A child driven by the brain, innocent and stupid."

"..." feels that most of them have been connoted.

Zhuang Yijing stroked his forehead, "Is awareness awakening?"

She is determined not to be a naive and "single stupid" child.

"No." Ning Youguang said, "Awakening is holistic—the whole subjectivity and the whole objectivity as a single phenomenon. Awareness is an act, you are doing it, and there is a self. So, The phenomenon of awareness is divided into subject and object. Awareness is a relationship between subject and object. There is a dichotomy between subject and object. Awakening has absolutely no subjectivity and objectivity. In awakening In it, there is no one who is aware, and there is no one who is aware. It is a whole, complete act, subject and object have no relationship to it, they are dissolved. So awakening does not mean that someone Being awake doesn't mean something is noticed, awareness implies a person who does."
