Then after they are happy, when a new thought comes into their minds, they suddenly feel that something seems to be wrong.
Aren’t you meditating with your teacher?
Although their teacher did not tell them what meditation actually is, they roughly knew what it was from the literal meaning.
Meditation, as the name suggests, means to be completely quiet, even your heart should be quiet.
They were planning to do this at first, but...
What is going on in this situation?
Why is it that as soon as I close my eyes, all my random thoughts start to float away like a rootless plane?
Even when I realize this and want to control it, I can't control it?!
At this moment, everyone in Class 9, who had active minds, felt a sense of fear.
They can't control their own thoughts?
What does this mean?
Everyone in Class Nine didn't dare to think any further. Instead, they all opened their eyes, looked horrified, and started whispering to each other.
Listening to the small sounds around him, Ren Yan curled his lips and spoke calmly:
"Have you realized that you can't control your thoughts at all?"
"Yes..." Hearing this, everyone in Class 9 nodded, turned their eyes to their teacher, and asked quickly:
"Teacher Ren, what's going on?"
"Are we really unable to control our own thoughts?"
"What do you think? Are you really thinking what you think?" Ren Yan opened his eyes and looked at his students teasingly.
Only after the students froze for a moment and their bodies stiffened did he continue:
"In fact, the thoughts that we can perceive and control are all our main consciousness. We have always acted with our main consciousness."
"This means that our behavior is entirely based on our own individual cognition."
"But the reality is that, in addition to the main consciousness, we also have another, deeper layer of consciousness, which is called the subconscious in the brain science community."
“It does not move subjectively, but it affects our decision-making all the time.”
“And the extent of the area it occupies is terrifying.”
“If our overall consciousness is compared to an iceberg, then the main consciousness is the tip of the iceberg that is above the sea, and the subconscious mind is the entire iceberg deep in the ocean.”
"It's just like the subconscious mind began to appear in your mind after you just abandoned your main consciousness."
"It is messy, disordered, and unpredictable. It may even affect your decision-making at critical moments."
"The result is the same as Li Cheng's. He doesn't know what he wants at all, because one of these two completely contradictory thoughts is not his truest thought."
"So, if you want to truly master your own thoughts, you must learn to communicate with your subconscious mind."
"That is to say, you must learn to control those chaotic thoughts during meditation and not let them disturb you."
Ren Yan told everything he knew.
Everyone in Class Nine's eyes lit up, but then they all smiled bitterly.
"But Mr. Ren, even if we knew, we can't control it..."
"We have tried to control it just now, but every time we control it, some new thoughts overwhelm us."
"It's impossible to preserve my thoughts intact..."
Li Cheng spoke dejectedly.
"That's because you haven't mastered the correct method."
"Taoist meditation is called Zen meditation in Zen Buddhism and cross-legged sitting or meditation in Buddhism. They all have their own systems."
"If you don't know these systems, you naturally won't be able to control your delusions well."
“So, at that moment when you sit in meditation, you must keep your mind clear and focus all your attention on yourself.”
“Observe your breathing carefully and feel the breath flowing through your body. Focus all your attention on this point and don’t let it be distracted in the slightest.”
"Only in this way can you gradually get rid of the delusions around you and not let them affect you."
"This is the Taoist entry method for meditation, which is called observing breathing."
Ren Yan explained patiently, and after he finished, he changed the subject:
"But even if you know this now, it is still very difficult to completely empty yourself."
“It takes a lot of practice and enough patience.”
“So, in the beginning, failing dozens or even hundreds of times is actually quite normal.”
After the words fell, some students in Class 9 who thought they were good enough immediately leaned over with disbelief on their faces:
"What?!"
"Dozens of times, hundreds of times?"
"Teacher Ren, are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?"
"Is this something that ordinary people can do?!"
Hearing this, Ren Yan shrugged, looking nonchalant:
"Anyway, I've said what I need to say. Whether you sit down or not is your own business."
After saying that, Ren Yan crossed his legs again and slowly closed his eyes.
This caused the surrounding Class 9 students to be speechless.
Now their teacher not only behaves inappropriately in private, but even says such inappropriate things in lectures?
It takes dozens or even hundreds of attempts to get the hang of it. Are you sure you want others to learn this?
