寧靜的心跡(53) 有意識地走進內心世界


隨著社會的快速變化,人們越來越忙碌,經常忙於工作、學習和生活,而忽略了自己的內心。但如果不了解自己的內心,就會不了解生命,因為生命的需要早已藏在我們的內心深處。只有了解自己的內心,我們才能發現生命的目標和價值,從而理解自己的情感,掌握好人生的方向。

每個人最初都是從內在世界向外走,因為初期發展的內在世界都是狹隘和貧乏的。經歷過外部世界,我們獲得了物質財富,但也遇到不少挫折。在感到沮喪或孤獨的時候,內心的聲音發出召喚,我們開始了一個從外部走往內部的旅程。

回到被閑置許久、布滿灰塵的內在家園,我們發現以前忽略了的寶藏。外在世界確實豐富,但我們探索外在世界,最終目的還是為了豐富自己的內在,尤其是豐富自己的意識。因為意識才是我們真正的自己。

我們從小培養了不少習慣,累積了不少知識,也有不少深刻的感受,還有對過去大小事情的紀錄。觀察這些東西,我們可能有這樣的感悟:如果不是以前忽略了一些寶貴的知識,也許不會有今天的挫折。這意味著我們缺乏意識,可以再次從過去吸取一些經驗和教訓。

整理自己的內心,不是要遠離外部世界,我們還要繼續往外探尋,因為生命需要新事物。暫時回到內在,是要在紛亂的思緒中,整理出新世界的藍圖,看到自己的真正需要。

回到內在世界,也可以是一種深度的休息。通過檢視自己的經歷,以及已經獲得的一切,我們會對生命產生深深的感激。即使仍然不滿足,我們也能放下一部份自我,減輕自己的負擔,輕鬆地重新出發。

從內在世界向外走,我們終於意識到自己無能為力,這是一個很好的轉折點。如果有意識地回歸內在,通過整理和休息,我們會重新獲得生活的力量和智慧,並擁有一個安穩的精神家園,更有勇氣面對外部世界的困難和挑戰。

然而,與外在世界相比,內在世界的道路更為複雜,裡面有很多自我,以及很多種聲音,讓人感到困惑。真正的自己只能由意識來確立。因此,有意識地走進內心,意味著我們真正在探索,而不是在扮演一個探索者,這樣才能說明我們正在成長。只有發現過去的寶藏,也就是發現自己的真正需要,我們走進內心才會有現實的意義。

The path to Tranquility (53)
Consciously enter the inner world


With the rapid changes in society, people are becoming increasingly busy, often caught up in work, study, and daily life, while neglecting their own hearts. But if we don’t understand our own hearts, we won’t understand life, because the needs of life are already hidden deep within us. Only by understanding our own hearts can we discover the goals and values ​​of life, understand our emotions, and grasp the direction of life.

Everyone initially walks from the inner world to the outside, because the initially developed inner world is narrow and poor. After experiencing the external world, we gain material wealth, but also encounter many setbacks. When we feel disheartened or lonely, the inner voice calls, and we begin a journey from the outside back to the inside.

Returning to our inner home, which has been idle for a long time and covered in dust, we discover treasures that we previously neglected. The external world is indeed rich, but we explore the external world for the ultimate purpose of enriching our inner world, especially enriching our consciousness, because consciousness is our true selves.

We have developed many habits since we were young, accumulated a lot of knowledge, had many profound feelings, and recorded events big and small from the past. Observing these things, we may have the realization that if we had not neglected some valuable knowledge in the past, perhaps we would not have encountered the setbacks of today. This means that we lack consciousness and can once again draw experience and lessons from the past.

Sorting out our inner world, does not mean staying away from the external world. We still need to continue exploring outward, because life needs new things. Temporarily returning to the inner world is to sort out the blueprint of the new world in the chaotic thoughts and see our true needs.

Returning to the inner world can also be a deep rest. By examining our experiences and everything we have gained, we will have a deep appreciation for life. Even if we are still dissatisfied, we can let go of some egos, lighten our burden, and set off again with ease.

Moving from the inner world to the outside, we finally realize that we are powerless, which is a good turning point. If we consciously return to the inner world, through sorting and rest, we will regain the power and wisdom of life, and have a peaceful spiritual home, and more courage to face the difficulties and challenges of the external world.

However, compare to the outer world, the roads of the inner world are more complicated, and there are many egos and many voices in it, which make people confused. The true self can only be established by consciousness. Therefore, consciously entering the inner world means that we are truly exploring, rather than playing the role of an explorer, so that we can explain that we are growing. Only by discovering the treasures of the past, that is, discovering our true needs, can we have realistic meaning when we go into our hearts.
