Whenever you read this book, it will bring peace and tranquility to your heart.

In the Spring Festival of 2020, a sudden novel coronavirus made people panic in the face of this sudden disaster. I picked up this book, read it, slowed down, put down my anxious heart, and quietly walked into this book with my soul.

Therefore, in this article, I will interpret the classic contents of the book from three aspects: "beyond your thinking, how to get rid of the pain and how to enter the present life". In the third part of the article, I will talk about the changes brought by this book in combination with the contents of the book and real life:

When I started reading, my heart seemed to be in another world. A subconscious shock in my mind filled my heart with fear. I don't know whether I should continue reading, but when I saw this book, I said that after reading this book, one after another, I had a miracle. I think this is the power that this book gives me.

Eckhart Thor is a spiritual teacher. In his book, he tells us that we must understand how we become pain creators, that is, our brains. Our brains are thinking about our past and worrying about our future, not other people or the world we live in. The biggest mistake we made was to identify with our brain and think that the brain is us. In fact, we are much bigger than our brains, but we just don't know it.

So how can we get rid of the brain? I learned from the book that we and the brain are divided into me and the brain, just like two individuals who exist at the same time. For example, there is a madman mumbling in the street, sometimes talking loudly, sometimes cursing, and sometimes crying. In fact, he is not much different from us normal people, but we normal people bury what we don't want to say in our hearts. However, there is a voice in our hearts that will complain, criticize and even look at this madman with sympathy and disgust. The author explains that this sound is our neglected brain. Many people spend their whole lives under the torture of the brain, allowing it to attack, punish and exhaust the energy of life. This is the cause of countless disasters, pains and diseases.

The first step: always listen to the voice in your brain, look at it from the observer's point of view, let your mind enter a blank stage, and your heart will feel a state of stillness and tranquility. Then, you begin to feel the natural state of unity with the ontology.

Step 2: You enter a state of pure consciousness without thinking. At this time, you deeply feel the blood flowing through every inch of your body, and you will feel that you are in an unconscious state, and anything that happens around you has nothing to do with you. Simply put, you are like flowers and trees. You don't have any thoughts, and you won't feel angry, sad, sad, depressed or afraid of anything that happens around you.

Therefore, on the road to enlightenment, the most crucial step is to get rid of the recognition of thinking, thus liberating our brains.

In my opinion, the so-called unconscious state means that when we do anything, there will be no more emotions, then we will not be controlled by our thinking, and we can really live in the present.

First of all, we should understand why we suffer and where the pain comes from. Let's find out the painful body, so that we can know how to get rid of our pain. The author tells us that there are two kinds of pain: clinging to the past and fearing the future. Next, we will interpret them one by one:

I can't let go of the past. I remember my childhood and live in my original family.

Many people suffer because they are still living in the past. Maybe he is still living in the shadow of his childhood and can't leave family of origin, so he will cling to the past and live in it. He desperately searched for the past in his memory. In short, he lives in the shadow of the past.

When he lives in the past and can't get out, there will be a "self" consciousness in our brains. The "self" referred to by the author is a false self, which is produced by our unconscious identification with thinking. Because the way the ego looks at the present is completely wrong-it looks at it from the past, which will form a kind of pain, anxiety, anger and all kinds of bad emotions in our hearts, so it will lead to our brain's unconscious recognition.

If we don't stop this idea in time, then we will live in a vicious circle and never get out. We will face the people and things around us with a negative emotion. When we often live in the past, we will have a kind of trouble for ourselves, because the past will always become the past. The book Native Home tells us that we may live a happy childhood, because native home has a profound influence on us and is also the place where our character is formed, which is why we always want to go back to the past.

Fear of the future, we live in a rapidly changing society. For the future, we don't know what will happen in the next second, so everyone will have a certain degree of fear.

Just like before the Spring Festival, I always felt that novel coronavirus was far away from us, and I didn't feel anything. But in less than half a month, novel coronavirus is getting closer and closer to us, because the virus will enter the human body through saliva and air, causing colds, fever and even breathing difficulties, and eventually leading to death. The huge Wu Hancheng, said that the city will be closed. The virus followed, causing panic among people all over the country.

The author points out that all fears come from the ego's fear of death and destruction. For the ego, death is everywhere. In this state of thinking identity, the fear of death affects all aspects of life. When your true self agrees with your point of view and makes mistakes, then you will amplify your ego's consciousness, which will lead to your inner fears and thoughts. Many wars and complicated interpersonal relationships in the world also come from this.

The author believes that if the imagined future is better than the present, it will give you hope or make you look forward to it happily; If it is worse than it is now, it will make you anxious-in fact, both are illusions. When you really emancipate your mind from thinking, if you find it difficult to enter the present life, please observe carefully and deeply feel whether what you are doing and what you have now is what you want.

Then slowly adjust your thinking, don't let your thinking control your self-knowledge, and really focus on what you have now. And feel his presence, keep your presence to observe your thinking changes, whether it is painful, sad or sad, and judge your thinking from the observer's point of view. In this way, you will feel something more powerful than all your observations: behind your thinking is a quiet observation of existence itself-a quiet observer.

When you always maintain a high sense of existence, then you will gradually realize that you are no longer trapped in the past and you will not be afraid of anything that will happen in the future. Most importantly, you should focus on your present life:

Before the Chinese New Year, I still felt that I was living in pain. When I was a child, I was fascinated by the Chinese New Year, which brought me joy. When facing the Chinese New Year, I am deeply immersed in the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. At this time, I can't go back to the past, and my heart is painful, contradictory and tangled. I even complain to people around me: "I don't like the Chinese New Year now, but I like the Chinese New Year when I was a child." My heart has repeatedly agreed with this idea. I don't like the New Year now, but I like the New Year in my childhood. I didn't know why I had been stuck in such pain at that time. Over the years, every time I come to the New Year, I will fall into the New Year that I want to go back to my childhood. I'm not the only one with this idea. From friends and news, many people say that "the New Year is tasteless now, but the childhood New Year is the happiest because …" I wonder if you have thought about this idea.

Fortunately, after reading this book, I realized that I was living in the memory of the past. When I deeply maintained my sense of existence, I realized that I really walked into my present life and freed myself from painful memories.

To sum up:

This paper tells you the core content of this book from three aspects: "beyond your thinking, how to get rid of the pain and how to enter the present life". If you think it is helpful to you, please pay attention to today's headline @ Maggie, or read this book when you have time. I believe you will really understand what I said. Only living in the present is the real beginning of life.

When reading this book, use your soul to feel deja vu, to feel the inner wisdom of "seeing the truth", and to feel the energy that shocks your heart between the lines.
