Did the Monkey King really jump out of a crack in the stone?

Someone always confuses the source of two stones. One is the stone that gave birth to the Monkey King in The Journey to the West, and the other is the psychic Baoyu worn by Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions. I thought these two stones were the remaining stones of the goddess of mending heaven, but they are not. This stone in a dream of red mansions belongs to Nu Wa, but this one in Journey to the West is not.

but

If you think that this stone in A Dream of Red Mansions is noble, it is all wet. Compared with the stone that gave birth to the Monkey King, there is nothing wrong with the abandoned stone.

The origin of this stone that gave birth to the Monkey King can be described as "shocking the world". How shocking is it? Let's talk about ancient times, before chaos opened.

How did this world come from?

There are always people who like to discuss the question of chicken or egg first. In fact, the essence of this problem is the origin of the material world.

Jane avenue. This question seems profound, but it doesn't hurt at all.

Once, someone said such a thing. Why are people not smarter now than before? Imagine that Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi and grandson were born in ancient China. How do so many politicians, thinkers and educators create their ideas? Why is it that after more than two thousand years, people today can't create any ideas, and our current cultural system is still these things left by our ancestors?

This problem can be explained clearly in one sentence. Because, the world in which human beings are currently living is a world of dimensionality reduction. To understand this problem, let's start with the formation of the primitive world.

At the earliest time, there was no matter in the world, only energy. Energy blocks contain information and consciousness. It can also be simply understood that the original world is a purely conscious world. This is why the Heart Sutra has always emphasized that "color is empty, and empty is color", because this is the essence of the original world.

Then these energy groups have undergone numerous chaotic changes (note: it is not the passage of time, because time has not yet been formed, and everything is chaotic), resulting in the original atoms in the original state, and these atoms in the original state are constantly changing, thus gradually forming the atoms we know now, and gradually forming the concepts of yin and yang, positive and negative, sequence and time. Atoms recombine to form molecules, and then slowly form substances.

So let's see, how does Journey to the West introduce this process?

Cover the number of heaven and earth, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years old is one yuan. Divide one yuan into twelve clubs, namely, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Every conference should have a history of 1800 years.

To put it simply, it took 1800 years for heaven to come into being.

After 1800 years, it was born;

After another 1800 years, human beings were born.

This is the emergence of "heaven, earth and man". That is to say, in the Tao Te Ching, "one life two, two lives three, three lives everything".

Although everything exists, the world is still in a period of chaos.

Chaos Emperor is the leader of the chaotic world. This leader is not a person, but a universe or constellation.

You see, at that time, creatures did not exist in the form of individuals. But later, on a whim, the emperors of Beihai and Nanhai helped Chaos to open seven holes, and they were chiseled to death. The person who recorded it was Zhuangzi.

After that—

I don't know how many years later, the chaotic Yuanling became the king of the Yuan Dynasty (Pangu) and created the world, so the world entered the chaotic era from the chaotic era.

The stone that gave birth to the Monkey King is the Xie Jing stratum of Chaos itself. Therefore, the Monkey King is the son of chaos.

Then let's look at the description of Huaguo Mountain in The Journey to the West.

There is a famous mountain in the sea called Guo Huashan. This mountain is the ancestor of ten continents and the origin of three islands. It has been in existence since the beginning and is tried by the HarmonyOS system.

Now everyone will be suddenly enlightened. Why is the position of Huaguo Mountain so special? The reason is that this mountain is the belly of Chaos Emperor.

Originally, since everything has been created, let's get along well.

But no, these different species fight together all day. Various factions have also been formed.

Such as demon, witch, Tao, Buddha, Terran, ghost and so on.

As the Tathagata Buddha often mentioned, there are five immortals in the world, "heaven and earth ghosts", and there are five worms, "Mao Yukun".

Everyone has had so many fights, and the more they fight, the more wronged they are. Later, some calm immortals discovered the mystery, which is cause and effect!

What is cause and effect?

In other words, every time you do something, this is the cause, and it will form a certain result.

Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil.

If the consequences are not good, you must retaliate, and if the results are good, you must repay them. So when did this karma begin?

After all, they are all wise big immortals, and everyone finally figured out a way. That is to establish an organization to coordinate various factions, which is equivalent to a "United Nations" in heaven and earth.

So, the list of gods began!

Grandfather Hong Jun became the chief designer of the list of deities, and then his three disciples, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tian Tongzu and Taishang Laojun, became executive directors. And Jiang Ziya became the CEO of the whole God List.

Don't think that Jiang Ziya is unknown.

He is the reincarnation of the whole constellation Ursa major. Usually, when a star comes to the earth, a star corresponds to a person, such as Xing, Wu Quxing and Xing.

But Jiang Ziya's identity is quite luxurious. He himself has six stars in the south, the Big Dipper, 36 stars in the highest sky and 72 stars in the earth.

His real identity is Yuan Shizu's son, the legendary Donghua Emperor.

Jiang Ziya completed the task of making the list of gods as scheduled, and then "went to brush his clothes and hide his fame". So the fairy alliance-heaven was established. From then on, he was named God.

Now that there is the Jade Emperor, all factions must agree with the management of heaven. Whether you are a Taoist Sanqing or the third Buddha of Buddhism, everyone should listen to the Jade Emperor.

Of course, the duties of this heaven are equivalent to the United Nations, and Taoism and Buddhism are like several permanent members of the United Nations. It's hard to say who cares and listens to who.

When did the human world decrease in dimension?

Although there is heaven, the struggle between factions is still not over. However, in this struggle, we joined the power of heaven.

In other words, they used to be immortals, buddhas, Taoists, demons, people and ghosts, and now they have joined the gods. But these forces are interpenetrating, and there is such a relationship that you have me and I have you.

Because there is heaven in the sky, everyone's struggle is more often on the ground, collectively known as the world. Everyone took turns to rule the world, and there appeared Di Qing Tai Hao, Chi Di Yan Di, Huangdi Xuanyuan, Bai Di Shao Hao and Xuan Di Zhuan Xu. The forces of all parties fought together and hit the era of Emperor Yao.

There was a big flood in Yao Di's time.

The flood is not a natural disaster, but an ancient water god named Wu Zhiqi, which involves a love story, which has been mentioned in another article, so I won't repeat it here.

After many twists and turns, Emperor Yao finally opened Dayu. So Chen Geng, the right-hand man of the Queen Mother of the West, was invited from heaven. Taishang Laojun provided several magic weapons, such as chains, purple gold bells and sea needles. Everyone, Qi Xin, surrendered to Qi without support. As a result, the flood receded and people finally began to rebuild their homes.

Time flies, and in a twinkling it reached the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The gods in the sky are getting smarter and smarter, from single-handedly fighting to proxy war. As a result, there are two schools in the world. One school is white, and the other is black.

Bai Miao sent a teacher out of Lishan mother, that is, Lishan School. Black Miao sent a division out of the Ghost Valley, which is the Ghost Valley School. The representatives of the White Temple School are Qu Yuan and July, and the representatives of the Ghost Valley School are Ying Zheng and Bai Qi. Judging from this faction, the battle of the Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period was actually mainly the battle of Qin Chu.

Of course, Zhong Wuyan of Qi was also a disciple of Lishan's mother, but he did not become the mainstream of history after all.

As a result of the struggle between Lishan School and Guigu School, Guigu School won, so Ying Zheng unified China.

Next, Ying Zheng did many great things. He thought he had contributed to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, so he called himself the first emperor. At the same time, he blindly believes that human power can rule the whole world. He sent Xu Fu, the master of Ghost Valley, to the three islands at sea to find the medicine of immortality.

In fact, the Xiaomi elixir of Penglai Samsung and the Jiuzhuan Taiyi elixir of Donghua Dadijun both have the effect of prolonging life. Not only that, he also secretly made terracotta warriors and horses to control the ghost soldiers and let them fight for themselves.

Qin Shihuang's behavior caused quite a shock in heaven. Finally, the immortals believe that because these human beings are "greedy, cruel, immoral and cunning" (Buddhist language), they should temporarily separate the human world from the fairy world. Therefore, all the immortals agreed to reduce the dimensions of the human world.

In other words, we should build a world of our own for mankind and close the channel of direct contact between the human world and heaven. At this point, the human world has become a lonely world, a fallen world.

The main characteristics of the human world after dimensionality reduction are a little time and one-dimensional space. What the hell does this mean?

Simply put, time has since become a point, moving in one direction, unable to go back, unable to change its length, unable to stop, unable to travel in all directions. What about space?

Although we think that space is three-dimensional, it is one-dimensional in material properties. It's just that we can move freely in this matter we know. But modern physics has told us that there are only 5% matter in our physical world, and 95% antimatter always exists, but we don't know how to capture it.

Because our world has been reduced in dimension, human cognition of the world has begun to move from theological metaphysics to science. This also made the thoughts of historians at that time messy.

Especially Sima Qian, because there was an ancient theology "Shan Hai Jing" at that time, which made him read inexplicably. He didn't know that the previous world was a world where gods, people and demons lived, so he naturally couldn't understand what the concept of "eight famines in the four seas" was.

As a result, physics began to dominate world cognition.

This process has gone through four stages so far.

Newton's mechanical physics stage, Einstein's optical physics stage, Bohr's quantum physics stage, Hawking's time physics stage.

Now, we are about to enter the fifth stage, which is the stage of dimensional physics.

Newton believed that the world was material. But he can't explain clearly why all kinds of celestial bodies, large and small, are so beautifully placed in the vast universe. So, he attributed all this to gravity. But in fact, traditional science says that force cannot be generated by itself, so how does gravity come from? Newton couldn't explain this clearly.

Einstein discovered the theory of relativity on the basis of Newton. He finally discovered the movement of energy through material phenomena. He discovered the emptiness of matter, but he didn't want to deny the color of matter. In other words, he thinks that the world is both material and conscious.

Then Bohr's quantum physics completely broke Newton's traditional physical theory. He believes that the essence of the world is quantum, which is the transmission of energy. He denied the particle nature of matter. So he thinks that matter does not exist, and energy and consciousness are the essence of the world. But he can't explain the origin of time and one-way linearity.

Later, Hawking wrote A Brief History of Time. He understood our present world as a three-dimensional and a half-world, and then daydreamed desperately to guess the mystery inside the black hole.

In fact, our world is locked by the gods.

We can't see the outside world, but they can see us as if we were playing a game. After a while, the game is a few years. Therefore, Journey to the West always says, "One day in the sky, one year on earth".

But this is so general, the real situation should be "a day on the mountain, a thousand years on the ground." In the real world outside, time can go forward and backward; Can be accelerated, can be suspended; You can walk back and forth, or you can walk left and right.

So traveling through time and space is a normal phenomenon.

For people with different energy, the length of time is also different. Even the same person, in different moods, the length of time is different. That's why sometimes you feel that life is like a year, and sometimes time flies.

Then, with the concept of time, it is necessary for us to talk about why the Monkey King is inferior to Buddha and Dapeng.

What's the difference between the Monkey King's somersault cloud and Buddha and Dapeng?

As we all know, a somersault cloud in the Monkey King travels a hundred miles. But he lost twice, the first time to Buddha and the second time to Dapeng.

Let's start with Dapeng.

One of the wings of Dapeng is the Nine Wan Li. Zhuangzi said, "One day, Dapeng rises with the wind, soaring to nine Wan Li" (it seems that Zhuangzi knows a lot). One of Dapeng's somersaults is 18,000 miles worse than the Monkey King's. Why did the Monkey King lose to him? The mystery lies in speed.

The Monkey King's somersault cloud has time no matter how fast it is. It should be, when he does a somersault, Dapeng can fan twice, so the Monkey King can't beat Dapeng. So in the same way, the speed of the big palm of the Tathagata Buddha is the same.

So we found that immortals and human beings are facing the same problem, that is, the problem of time.

Therefore, overcoming the constraints of time is the mystery of "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements"!

This reminds us of a news story some time ago.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the Strategic Initiative Monitoring Committee in Moscow, aides mentioned that the British Daily Telegraph reported that Russia was spending $2 trillion to study remote transmission technology. The newspaper also said that this technology "will pose a threat to the national security of all western countries."

Many people regard the above news as a joke.

In fact, what is teleport technology? It is a technology to overcome time constraints, and in a broad sense, it is a technology to overcome "quantum entanglement".

For this kind of technology, don't say that Putin is the original Buddha, and Tathagata is a dream. Otherwise, what do you think of Zhen's saying that he would attend the seminar on "Mixed Yuan Daoguo" held by yuanshi county Tianzun?

Now, let's review, what are the reasons why Tathagata and Dapeng are top experts in Journey to the West?

The martial arts in the world are fast and unbreakable.

Think again. When the Tathagata subdued Dapeng, he took away almost all the elite troops of Buddhism, because he was not sure to defeat Dapeng.

Therefore, as long as we break the shackles of time, we can realize real teleport. So we are watching Putin's news. Is it true to some extent?

Although the control and understanding of the concept of time by immortals is many times higher than that of human beings, they still have not broken the shackles of time.

Perhaps one day, mankind really broke the time limit and mastered teleport technology, naturally raising the world to a higher dimension.

So we can see that dimensional physics is quietly becoming the next development hotspot.

VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality), which are emerging in Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun Science Park, may encounter some setbacks or face bottlenecks at present, but they are just the pioneers of dimensional physics.

Please believe that although the road is slightly tortuous, the prospect must be bright.

Fortunately, we have launched a quantum satellite into the sky, and Google also announced that the world will enter the era of quantum computers in two years.
