Article 15 "The Real World"

She:? This is what I just figured out not long ago. Do you know why sometimes, when faced with some obvious things, it is difficult to analyze and dare not define them? In fact, it is thinking that affects people's judgment. The state of mind leads to people's inability to see the essence and interfere with people's ability to judge. ?

Me:? But does this have anything to do with what you have done?

Many people around this patient described her as being? Possession? Yes. Her boyfriend abandoned her for this reason, and her family felt that she was hopeless, and her friends began to stay away from her? This happened because she began to imitate others a few years ago.

At first, people around her thought it was funny, but later it was terrible because she almost imitated it perfectly. Apart from physical characteristics, there is nothing different from eyes, movements, tone, habits, behaviors and manners. This makes people around her feel terrible. Borrow her ex-boyfriend's description: At that time, she always imitated the old people, not for others to see, but all the time. I even felt that I lived with my father. Besides, the most terrible thing is, the way she looks at me? That's not her. I think she is possessed. I thought I was brave, but I broke up with her when she was not at home, and then I moved out as if I had run away. You called her after you moved out? I think the sound of her answering the phone is an old man? . ?

But I'm not interested in anything supernatural, but another question: what are those so-called? Attached to her body? Yes, they are all living.

She:? It's directly related. As I said just now, how can people not think?

I emphasize again: You see, here's the thing. I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, and I don't know much about the situation. Of course, I know something from others, but I haven't personally contacted you. So far, it's been more than an hour. so

She:? So, you want me to be clear?

Me:? Yes, it's good for you, too. ?

She smiled:? For me? What benefits?

Me:? If you don't let me understand things, you will face a series of evaluation and inspection later, which will delay the time and be psychologically harmful.

She:? I see, and I know what you're going to say. It's a problem. However, I will try my best to tell you from the beginning. If you don't understand, I can't help it, but I will try my best. ?

Me:? Ok, thank you. ?

She is the kind of woman with sharp words.

She:? Hmm? Where do we start? Tell you what, put aside what I just said, and let me ask you something: Have you ever thought that the world you see may not be like this itself?

What she said surprised me. This problem has been bothering me for a long time.

She:? Say something simple. You know that the structure of human eyeball is spherical, right? Spherical crystal. According to the lens principle, the scene projects an upside-down image to the retina, but the brain handles this problem by itself, with the left brain controlling the right hand and the right brain controlling the left hand. So the problem is solved, but in essence, the world in our eyes is upside down. ?

Me:? Well, that's right. ?

She:? I started from here and thought a lot. This is the beginning. What I want to tell you below requires you to expand your imagination as much as possible. ?

Me: Well, I'll try my best.

She:? Let's go one step further: because each of us is thoughtful, we actually add our own subjective consciousness when we look at things. In other words, what you think is bright, in my opinion, is not necessarily bright. If you see red, I may think it is yellow; The sweetness you tasted was sour after I tasted it; What you think is far away, I probably don't think it is too far; You think it's artistic, but I think it's popular. Is that clear?

Me:? You mean: experience, attainments, knowledge, knowledge, these objective factors have influenced the nature of our view of things?

She:? You think things are too roundabout, look at the essence. The experiences and knowledge you mentioned are all objective, and those objective influences are your thoughts, so your subjectivity is formed in the end. When you know more and more, you become more and more different from others. In fact, everyone is more and more different from others. ?

Me:? Is that so?

She:? Well, the world that each of us sees will deviate more and more, but there will be so-called collective values that balance our subjectivity. ?

Me:? Hmm? it seems to be

She:? Later, when I thought about this, I began to wonder what the world looked like in the eyes of others.

Me:? I see. That's why you started imitating others in the first place, right?

She:? Yes, I started thinking about many ways, and finally decided to use this stupid way, which is what we often say: look at it from another angle. However, it is much more complicated to change the angle. Because it is not one thing to look at from a different angle, but the whole world! At first, I slowly observed the details of others, then remembered the characteristics of those details, and then began to try to imitate others and understand why they did it. To put it bluntly, you become the person you imitate. If you imitate for a long time, you will understand the mentality of the imitated person. Further, you will learn to see things with the other person's eyes. If you master it well, you can even know what the other person is thinking. ?

Me:? Kind of like an actor? However, knowing what the other person thinks is a bit mysterious. ?

She:? Not at all. I know that many friends don't pay much attention to me because they think I'm terrible. The so-called possession is just an excuse. In fact, more is that I know what they think, so they think it's terrible. But by that time I was close to a higher level of imitation. ?

Me:? Is it more like imitation?

She:? No, it's a mental imitation. Know each other's thoughts quietly. Because I have been imitating others for a long time and have a good grasp of the details, it is purely subconscious to try to figure out each other's mentality. You can see through it without behavioral imitation. Do you think this is witchcraft or magic?

Me:? I don't think so. ?

She:? That's right. It will be very simple to spend a few years doing this all the time. It's nothing more than paying attention to details, grasping and understanding, being familiar with eyes and the purpose of action, and not feeling magical after getting used to it. However, to imitate the mind, I think there is a talent. That is to say, it will be faster if you are naturally careful and keen. ?

Me:? This will be very tiring. ?

She:? No, it's interesting. When you start to look at it with other people's eyes, you will see it more essentially. You will be closer to the essence of the world. ?

Me:? But that's just from other people's eyes. Didn't you say you wanted to see the real world?

She smiled:? Yes, but as I said, it's a stupid method. It's actually a big circle, but I can't think of a better one. I'm not going to take the path of religious belief.

Me:? You said you would know what other people think. Can you know what I think?

She:? I don't know, because I'm telling you this clearly, so I've been in my own thinking. But she paused. ? But I know you are confused about the nature of this world. ?

I am stupefied.

She:? Amazing? I don't think so. It's just a slight change in your eyes that I just noticed. Did that question bother you for a long time?

After I nodded my head, I suddenly realized that my position with her seems to be upside down. You are awesome

She smiled:? It's not that serious. Can we talk about it later?

Me:? OK, but since you have mastered some degree of mental imitation, why do you want to imitate behavior?

She:? Do you know when I was called? Possession? Really?

Me:? They didn't say that. ?

She:? When I started imitating older people. ?

Me:? Is there any difference in imitating an elderly person?

She:? Folklore always mentions how many years an animal has been cultivated to become a fine animal, right? In fact, I think it's because of experience that you don't have to practice and live long enough to become a fine person. Have you found out that the longer you live and the more experience you have, the deeper and farther you think. ?

Me:? Is it?

She:? Think about it, an animal, in the cruel natural environment of the jungle in the wild, can't live for hundreds of years without being refined! What have you never seen? What have you never met? I don't know what? Maybe they really exist, but humans can't see them anymore, because they have lived for too long and have too much experience. What we used to say about mandrills, mountain gods and river gods may be those wild animals that have lived for a long time. If people can live for seven or eight hundred years, they must all be old goblins! I'm not saying this to promote feudal superstition and Machamp's chaotic gods. I'm just emphasizing the importance of experience. ?

Me:? So you deliberately imitate the behavior of old people?

She:? Well, is that right? Do you have a cigarette?

I found the cigarette and handed it to her.

She lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: Sorry, I don't smoke easily.

Actually, I'm glad she can relax in front of me.

She:? When I was imitating those old people, I found that I was getting closer to the essence I wanted to know. ?

Me:? You mean ...

She:? What the world is like. ?

Me:? I see what you mean. In fact, the purpose of choosing this roundabout way to do it is not to try to figure out others or simply see the world from others' eyes, but to see the world without any subjective consciousness, right? ?

She smiled:? I spent several years being told that I was sick and possessed. Is it that simple? I'm telling you, that's not what I understand ?

I didn't laugh, waiting for her to continue.

She:? Most old people disappoint me, because they have enough experience, maybe not enough, so they still don't have the detached attitude I need. Because most elderly people still have strong emotions when they meet something, but they are not allowed to have strong reactions physically, so sometimes their temper will be very strange? That's what my mother does. Don't believe you put all the joints on your body in bandages and tighten them. If you try it in a week, you will be depressed, too? But that's not what I want. What I need is to see the world from the earthly state. I don't know what to do. ?

Me:? You mean, are you at an impasse?

She bit her lower lip: Yes, but it didn't take long for me to find that I had taken another step, because just when I thought these years were in vain, I suddenly understood. ?

Me:? You got a detached state?

She:? Stronger than this. ?

Me:? Can it be said that you can't see the real world when you look at it without thinking and subjective consciousness?

She:? Yeah, that's not the real world. ?

Me:? So what is it?

She pinched her cigarette and smiled. If you look at it with self-awareness, according to what I said earlier, you actually see yourself, right? . Have you thought about it? What we really need to do is not to give up everything, not to look at it without any attitude, not to be detached, but to be indifferent, just as the saying goes: no one is boring, and that state is simply invisible, at most, it is arrogant, and it is far from perfect. ?

Me:? But you've been talking for a long time, how on earth can you see it?

She smiled smugly: If you want to see the real world, you must look at the sky with the eyes of the sky, the clouds with the eyes of the clouds, the wind with the eyes of the wind, the flowers and trees with the eyes of the trees, the stones with the eyes of the stones, the sea with the eyes of the sea, the animals with the eyes of the animals, and the people with the eyes of the people. ?

I listened carefully and looked at her stupidly, but my brain was boiling.

Finally, she made another famous joke:? If one day you see me crazy, you are actually crazy. ?

When I left that day, I felt dizzy. Everything seemed like that, but it didn't seem like that. Because what she said is so strange that it is unheard of. I must admit that her views and logic are extremely perfect and have completely subverted me. I think, maybe one day, she will see the real world?
