在胎兒的早期階段，我們的身體就像魚，有鰓和尾巴。那時候，我們確實是生活在水中。當我們出生，我們突然面對一個新世界，就像海洋生物突然被拋到陸地上一樣。事實上，我們只能慢慢從水中浮起來。從無意識中，我們首先發展出自我意識，然後發展出對死亡的意識，最後發展出對世界的普遍意識。在這個過程中，我們經歷了漫長的歲月。
從出生到一定的年紀，我們大概還在水中掙扎。意識只有一小部份露出水面，大部份還沉在水底。無論我們多麼努力，潛意識都無法浮出水面，越掙扎，就越困難，這讓我們感到疲憊和沮喪。
浮出水面是必要的，因為我們不再適應水中的生活。我們在水中感到窒息，必須上岸才能感到安全和穩定。然而，陸地上的世界比水下的世界更加複雜。如果我們沒有足夠的意識，生活中就會遇到很多危險。
首先，我們應該停止掙扎，因為掙扎只會浪費精力，加深無意識。掙扎也會讓水變得更加混濁，讓人更難看清水下的狀況。如果看不到自己的潛意識，我們就無法將自己的意識提升到更高的層次。因此，我們有必要靜下心來，觀察自己還處於水下的部份，專注於探索自己的潛意識。
這意味著，當意識不足的時候，讓我們僅有那點意識主宰自己的思想，我們會更容易平靜下來。這樣我們內心的掙扎就會減少。然後，仔細審視我們的內心，逐一思考那些未解決的問題，並找出答案。
能夠專注於解決問題，就意味著我們能夠保持清醒，這樣潛意識就會逐漸浮現。隨著問題的解決，我們的意識也隨之增強。當我們的內心清澈明亮，生活品質就會大大提高。活在當下並擁有足夠的意識，就像在天空中自由飛翔。如果還在水中掙扎，那麼我們的生活就只比動物好一點點。
即使到了休息時間，我們仍然可以保持清醒。先深吸一口氣，屏住呼吸，感受氣壓的位置和變化。然後慢慢吐氣，並屏住呼吸大約十至三十秒。重複這些步驟幾次，然後思考一些與現實生活需要無關的事情，例如哲學或古詩詞，這會讓我們進入一個沒有情緒的內在世界。
沒有情緒的阻礙，我們的意識是最清晰的。透過釋放情緒，並將意識帶入睡眠，大腦可以在身體休息時更有效地組織記憶。讓各種意識更加緊密地連結在一起，有助於提高我們的智慧。只要我們夜晚不迷失在夢境中，明天就會更加清醒。

The path to Tranquility (1)
It's time to wake up from the dream
In the early fetal stages, our bodies are like fish, with gills and a tail. At that time, we really did live in water. When we are born, we are suddenly faced with a new world, just like a sea creature suddenly thrown onto land. In fact, we could only float up from the water slowly. From the unconscious we first develop self-awareness, then awareness of death, and finally universal awareness of the world. We have gone through a long time in this process.
From birth to a certain age, we are probably still struggling in the water. Only a small part of consciousness is above the water, while most of it is still submerged. No matter how hard we try, our subconscious mind cannot come to the surface, and the more we struggle, the more difficult it becomes, which makes us feel tired and frustrated.
Surfacing is necessary because we are no longer adapted to life in the water. We felt suffocated in the water and had to go ashore to feel safe and stable. However, the world on land is more complex than the world underwater. There are many dangers in life that we can encounter if we don’t have enough awareness.
First of all, we should stop struggling, because struggling only wastes energy and deepens unconsciousness. Struggling will also make the water more murky, making it harder to see what's going on underwater. If we cannot see our subconscious mind, we cannot raise our consciousness to a higher level. Therefore, it is necessary for us to calm down, observe the part of ourselves that is still underwater, and focus on exploring our subconscious mind.
This means that when awareness is low, allowing that little awareness to dominate our thoughts, we can more easily calm down. This way our inner struggle will be reduced. Then, look carefully into our hearts, think about those unresolved questions one by one, and find the answers.
Being able to focus on solving the problem means that we can stay awake, so that the subconscious mind will gradually emerge. As problems are solved, our awareness grows. When our hearts are clear and bright, the quality of our lives will be greatly improved. Living in the present moment and having enough awareness is like flying freely in the sky. If we are still struggling in the water, then our lives are only slightly better than those of animals.
Even when it’s time to rest, we can still stay awake. Take a deep breath first, hold your breath, and feel the position and changes of the air pressure. Then exhale slowly and hold your breath for about ten to thirty seconds. Repeat these steps several times, and then think about something unrelated to real-life needs, such as philosophy or ancient poetry, which will allow us to enter an inner world without emotions.
Without the obstruction of emotions, our consciousness is at its clearest. By releasing emotions and bringing awareness into sleep, the brain can organize memories more effectively while the body rests. Bringing our various consciousnesses closer together helps improve our wisdom. As long as we don’t get lost in dreams at night, we will be more awake tomorrow.
