生命是一個充滿考驗的過程，而對具有意識的存在來說，它應該是一個意識成長的過程。透過生存的考驗，我們不僅能體驗生命本身，也深刻感受別人和世界，從而擁有完整的意識。實際上，我們存在的每刻都是一次難得的成長機會。唯有真正感受當下，我們才能充份享受人生的旅程。
人生旅程最美好的享受，是意識成長帶來的喜悅。我們運用感官仔細地觀察自己和外界，將感受轉化為感知，進而掌握事物的發展規律。這種成長象徵著更多的智慧和勇氣，使我們更自信、對生命更有希望，從而連結別人和世界。然而我們卻不斷將時間浪費在恐懼和欲望上。
恐懼讓我們產生欲望，而忽視生命的需要。世界如大海，生命如船，我們是水手和舵手。如果我們畏懼大海，只想尋找陸地來生活，這艘生命之船不久將被冷落。可見，恐懼阻礙我們體驗世界和生命，使意識的成長變得緩慢。出於恐懼，我們追求超出需要的物質或精神目標，但這些目標與生命的目標相衝突，常常導致焦慮和緊張。因此，追求這些目標無助於減少恐懼，反而會讓我們對世界更加無意識。
在生活中，我們被恐懼驅動的例子比比皆是。例如，擔心老後無法養活自己，我們為求財富而忽視了健康。或者，為求長壽，我們相信一些偏離科學的保健方法。然而，這種恐懼驅使的行動不僅無法帶給我們真正的滿足感，更會引起疾病，讓我們產生更大的恐懼。一旦出現這種情況，我們就會像一頭推磨的驢子，既害怕後面的鞭子，又追趕前面掛著的紅蘿蔔，終生跑得筋疲力盡。如果總是被恐懼驅動而奔向欲望，我們將會錯過真實而細膩體驗，最後感到人生是一場夢。
雖然我們有很多恐懼，但生命之船渴望的是在大海中永續的航行，以及在風浪中不斷的奮鬥。這意味著人生旅程是一個接受生存考驗的過程。只有追求不斷的成長，我們才能克服恐懼。從無知到睿智，從自我中心到關懷別人和世界，這樣的轉變使我們變得更強大。追求愛和自由，是成長中最重要的一環，這使我們能夠互相促進，為生命提供更好的保障。這種成長讓我們的生活變得更豐富，更健康和長壽，滿足了生命的需要，因而讓我們感到深深的喜悅。
享受人生旅程的理想方式，是為意識成長而追求財富，為身心健康而追求意識。一生需要多少財富是不確定的，但我們非常確定需要健康的生命。因此，我們需要學習健康生活以及財富管理的知識，並讓自己擁有舒適的生活。當我們明白了自己的真正需要，就能放開對生命的控制，接受並感激生命帶來的一切。唯有透過接受我們才能增長意識，並獲得更大的勇氣。這有助我們探索世界，提升智慧，進而徹底解決恐懼，擁有自由的心靈。
認識到生存和連結是生命的意義，我們也會對未來有更加廣闊的展望，更有掌控感。這使我們的所有目標都與生命的目標保持一致。例如，我們追求財富同時也重視健康，更願意與別人共享，進而建立良好的關係。當我們只為滿足生命的需要而活，就不再受恐懼和欲望所驅動，也沒有非實現不可的目標。這時，我們沒有追求目標的焦慮，因此也不容易迷失自我。那麼，在人生旅程中的每一刻，我們都能獲得新的體驗，並打造一個新的自己。
恐懼的根源在於害怕死亡，我們最終必須解決這個最大的恐懼。解決對死亡的恐懼沒有具體的方法，因為這是生物的本能。然而，作為一個整體，生命總是隨著大自然在循環和延續。因此，信賴自然、融入自然並充份體驗自然，我們就可以無懼死亡。我們還可以將人生旅程的終點視為另一個旅程的起點，成長和體驗直到生命最後一刻，然後安詳地等待另一次幸運的機會。這樣，我們就能從根本上解決恐懼，敞開心靈去體驗世界的真實，充份享受人生。
不斷體驗自我更新的喜悅，我們就能充份享受人生的旅程。透過將一切目標與生存掛勾，改變急於達成目標的心態，我們可以培養專注於生命的能力，並發現更多的可能。當我們深入了解生命的使命和價值，並勇敢地去愛，就會從別人的反映中看見真正的自己。而這種體驗和發現，就是人生旅程中最美好的事情，也是我們最大的享受。

The path to Tranquility (94)
Fully enjoying the journey of life
Life is a process full of tests, and for conscious beings, it should be a process of conscious growth. Through the tests of survival, we not only experience life itself but also deeply feel others and the world, thereby possessing a complete consciousness. In fact, every moment of our existence is a rare opportunity for growth. Only by truly feeling the present can we fully enjoy the journey of life.
The most beautiful enjoyment of the journey of life is the joy brought about by the growth of consciousness. We use our senses to carefully observe ourselves and the outside world, transform our feelings into perceptions, and then grasp the development laws of things. This growth symbolizes more wisdom and courage, making us more confident, more hopeful about life, thereby connecting others and the world. Yet we keep wasting our time on our fears and desires.
Fear causes us to have desires and ignore the needs of life. The world is like the sea, life is like a ship, and we are the sailors and helmsmen. If we are afraid of the sea and only seek land to live on, this ship of life will soon be left in the cold. It can be seen that fear prevents us from experiencing the world and life, and slows down the growth of consciousness. Out of fear, we pursue material or spiritual goals that are beyond our needs, but these goals conflict with the goals of life, often causing anxiety and tension. Therefore, pursuing these goals does not help reduce fear, but rather makes us more unconscious of the world.
Examples abound in life of us being driven by fear. For example, we worry about not being able to support ourselves when we get old, and we neglect our health in pursuit of wealth. Or, in order to live longer, we believe in some health care methods that deviate from science. However, this kind of fear-driven action not only fails to bring us true satisfaction, but also causes disease and makes us have greater fear. Once this happens, we will be like a donkey pushing a mill, both afraid of the whip behind and chasing the carrots hanging in front, running exhausted in all life. If we are always driven by fear and rush towards desire, we will miss the real and delicate experience, and finally feel that life is a dream.
Although we have many fears, what the ship of life longs for is eternal sailing in the sea and continuous struggle in the wind and waves. This means that the journey of life is a process of accepting the test of survival. Only by pursuing continuous growth can we overcome fear. From ignorance to wisdom, from self-centered to caring for others and the world, this transformation makes us stronger. The pursuit of love and freedom is the most important part of growth, which enables us to promote each other and provide better protection for life. This growth makes our lives richer, healthier, longer, meets life's needs, and thus brings us deep joy.
The ideal way to enjoy the journey of life is to pursue wealth for the sake of consciousness growth and consciousness for the sake of physical and mental health. How much wealth we need in a lifetime is uncertain, but we are pretty sure we need a healthy life. Therefore, we need to learn about healthy living and wealth management and let ourselves have a comfortable life. When we understand our true needs, we can let go of control of life and accept and be grateful for everything life brings. Only through acceptance can we grow in consciousness and gain greater courage. This helps us explore the world, improve our wisdom, completely resolve our fears, and have a free mind.
Recognizing that survival and connection are the meaning of life, we will also have a broader outlook on the future, with a greater sense of control. This aligns all our goals with goals of life. For example, while we pursue wealth, we also value health and are more willing to share it with others to build good relationships. When we live solely to meet the needs of life, we are no longer driven by fears and desires, and there are no goals that must be achieved. At this time, we don’t have the anxiety about pursuing our goals, so it’s not easy to lose ourselves. Then, at every moment in our life journey, we can gain new experiences and create a new self.
The root of fear is the fear of death, and we must ultimately address this greatest fear. There is no specific way to deal with the fear of death because it is biological instinct. However, as a whole, life always circulates and continues with nature. Therefore, by having reliance to nature and integrating into nature, we can be without fear of death. We can also regard the end of the journey of life as the starting point of another journey, grow and experience until the last moment of life, and then wait peacefully for another lucky opportunity. In this way, we can fundamentally solve our fear, open our hearts to experience the reality of the world, and fully enjoy life.
By constantly experiencing the joy of self-renewal, we can fully enjoy the journey of life. By linking all goals with survival and changing the mentality of eager to achieve goals, we can cultivate the ability to focus on life and discover more possibilities. When we deeply understand the mission and value of life and bravely love, we will see the real self from the reflection of others. And this kind of experience and discovery is the most beautiful thing in the journey of life and our greatest enjoyment.
