寧靜的心跡(123) 清澈見底的心湖

當我們的心靈得以提升，寧靜也就隨之到來。許多祈禱、禮拜或其他儀式活動，對我們來說已經失去意義。因為儀式本身就屬於無意識的範疇，大多是教條和迷信，並不能幫助我們進入寧靜，甚至會增加恐懼和困惑。

擁有足夠的意識，能讓我們對自己產生信賴感，不再需要向虛無祈求，也不再迷信和依賴任何儀式和教條。我們的內心已經煥然一新，擁有更多的自覺和自發，能夠自主地駕馭生活中的各個環節。

通過閱讀和旅行，我們可以獲得大量的知識，但只有通過思考才能領悟真正的道理，透過運用知識，才能提高自己的意識水平。重要的是進行理性的歸納和內化，並找到自我發現所需的參照對象。

停留在感性的認識上，往往讓我們形成更多的習慣、情緒，甚至是膨脹的自我，助長更多的無意識。自我擴張本質上就是一種無意識。無意識的生活，猶如混沌的動物世界，而情緒化行為則是屬於原始人的世代。

活在意識中才是現代人的境界。意識就像心中的明鏡，可以映照出世間微妙的事物。唯有足夠的意識，我們才能知道自己所處的真實時空，以及自己和環境的真實狀態，才能成為其他人認識自己的理想參照對象。

擦亮了心鏡，擁有清澈見底的心湖，我們能看到自己內心的一切，那裡沒有難以面對的負面情緒和疑慮，而且充滿純淨的善意。這時我們擁有純粹的意識，不僅活在當下，還能自由地回憶過去並展望未來。

The path to Tranquility (123) A crystal clear lake in the heart

As our minds are elevated, so comes tranquility. Many prayers, worships, or other ritualistic activities have lost their significance to us. Because rituals themselves belong to the category of unconsciousness, mostly dogma and superstition, they cannot help us enter tranquility, and may even increase fear and confusion.

Having enough consciousness, allows us to have faith in ourselves, and we no longer need to pray to the void or believe in any rituals or dogmas. Our hearts have become completely new, we have more consciousness and spontaneity, and can independently navigate all aspects of life.

Through reading and travel, we can gain a lot of knowledge, but only through pondering can we comprehend true principles, and through the application of knowledge, can we improve our level of consciousness. The important thing is to carry out rational induction and internalization, and find the reference objects needed for self-discovery.

Staying on perceptual understanding often causes us to form more habits, emotions, and even inflated egos, fostering more unconsciousness. Inflated egos are essentially unconscious. An unconscious life is like living in a chaotic animal world, and emotionalize behavior belongs to the age of primitive people.

Living in consciousness is the realm of modern people. Consciousness is like a bright mirror in our hearts that can reflect the subtle things of the world. Only with sufficient consciousness can we know the true time and space we are in, and the true state of ourselves and our environment. Only then can we become ideal reference objects for others to understand themselves.

Polishing the mirror of heart, and having a crystal clear lake of heart, we can see everything in our hearts, there are no negative emotions and doubts that are difficult to face, and it is full of pure goodwill. This is when we can have pure consciousness, not only living in the present but also freely recalling the past and looking forward to the future.
