Chapter 349 Awareness and Awakening

One of the great benefits of waking up early is that breakfast can be very leisurely.

   More than twenty minutes.

   Mochizuki made coffee and a hearty breakfast.

   There are freshly grilled veggie egg sandwiches, blueberry waffles, poached prawns and broccoli, and sliced ​​fruit for side dishes.

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

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

   When Mochizuki went to the bathroom to take a surprise shower after making breakfast, he was wiping his dripping hair with a towel, "What's for breakfast these days?"

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

   Shi Mochizuki sighed, "You really don't want an on-call chef?"

   "What do you want the chef to do? You can't eat it." Ning Youguang raised his eyebrows, "It would be nice if I had food on call."

   She tapped the phone on her hand lightly, "Takeaway."

  “…”

   When Mochizuki suddenly felt that the money earned from a lot of money was not so good.

  …

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

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

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

  She is doing makeup~lightnovelpub.net~ listening to the class. "Ning Youguang put the phone aside.

   The two chatted while doing their own thing.

   "There are so many books and so much knowledge in the world, it's doomed to never finish reading or learning, what should I do?" Zhuang Yijing asked while wiping his face.

   "Why are you afraid of infinite truth? An inch of joy." Ning Youguang said calmly.

   "Yes, yes." Zhuang Yijing patted his face and smiled.

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

   She never stops evolving to become a better person.

   Seeing Ning Youguang alone in the dormitory, Zhuang Yijing couldn't help but ask, "Does it 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. 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, your great god." Zhuang Yijing was convinced, "So you mean you won't feel lonely, right?"

   "Yes." Ning Youguang said, "I have never felt lonely." In this life.

"But some people say that most people in the world are lonely, that loneliness is hidden in every cell, and they survive tenaciously." Zhuang Yijing could not understand the state she was talking about, "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 the movement in his hand and thought about it, "Maybe he knows that everyone is pretending, they are all masked people, and they are all hiding their true self, so they feel very empty, and then feel lonely."

"In this case..." Ning Youguang said, "Then maybe I'm living my life selectively, filtering my social circle consciously, and the information I hear, see, and think about, so that I can make Keep yourself in a relatively controlled and comfortable, 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 loneliness? Because only when a person is alone and quiet can he have the opportunity to face and examine his own heart."

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

  Ning Youguang said with a smile, "Then you have to raise your awareness."

   "What is awareness?" Zhuang Yijing asked.

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

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

"I'll 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 the black cloud and think, 'Ah, the black cloud is here. ', 'Is it going to rain?', 'It's going to rain I'm going to run faster', 'Oops! I still have my clothes on the balcony!', 'What should I do?' and so on, you're not a brain The watcher of the thought in it, but becomes the thought. But if you see a black cloud and you just think 'Oh, the black cloud' and then don't think about the other things in your head about the black cloud, you are watching Think of those thoughts and thoughts in your head as that black cloud that disappears when you see it - you are not affected by it, you just watch it come and go. If you can remember, whatever comes in your head What, you just watch [these will disappear, I'm not a thought, your thoughts are not me], and that watching is awareness."

  Zhuang Yijing felt that he was about to faint.

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

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

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

  “…” feels that most of them are 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 an ego. 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, and awakening has absolutely no subjectivity and objectivity. 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 relation to it, they are dissolved. So awakening does not mean someone Being awake does not mean that something is noticed, awareness implies a person who does."
