Everyone has two me

 

Agudengba likes to travel. Unlike others, he does not just enjoy the famous mountains, rivers and field scenery, but is keen to investigate religion, nation, history and culture. He has visited India, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar, and finally Returning to Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Tibet, we also learned about the history of Sumer and Aryan along the way, and also explored ancient India, ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece, including the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire. But the basic travel trajectory is to explore the culture of the Western Regions in ancient China.

Agudengba said to Lacuo:

I am going to visit Qinghai and Xinjiang. Maybe this will be the end of my trip.

The leader of the caravan, Lacuo, hesitated and said:

You met the old man Lavani in Bangladesh and rescued his daughter Dawa girl, as well as the daughter of a Dorje musician in Myanmar, allowing them to escape from the hateful prostitute island. I admire your kindness so much about this. Musician Dorje knew that you wanted to visit Tibet, so he asked me to lead a caravan to go with you. He did not give me any business orders, but just asked me to take care of and protect you along the way.

Lacuo took off two bags from his horse and said to Agudengba:

There are two bags here, one bag contains food, clothing and daily necessities, and the other bag contains coins and jewelry, which you can use at any time.

Lacuo asked his caravan guys to bring Agudengba's donkey Ma Hu

Said to Agudumba:

I will return to Myanmar. You are not suitable for riding horses from Tibet to Qinghai. This is your mount and your good partner. You can let the donkey help you carry your load.

Agudengba was a little surprised that Lacuo was leaving, but he couldn't stop him. So the two of them drank and said goodbye in the inn.

Lacuo said:

Along the way, I heard you talk a lot about religion and myths and legends with the friends you made, and I benefited a lot. But I don’t believe in the existence of gods. Whether it’s shamanism, Hinduism, or Buddhism, it can’t change my view on life.

Agudemba was speechless.

Lacuo said:

I have lived with a Dorje musician from Myanmar for a long time, and I often watch him play the piano. At that time, I was thinking, how great it would be if I owned this piano. I could play beautiful music with it, and I could also perform in front of the crowd and show a different version of myself.

The Dorje musician saw what was on my mind and taught me how to play the piano. But after playing it twice, I found that I couldn't play the "First Symphony" like a Dorje musician. I even found that I didn’t even know the sound of each white key, let alone how to read the staff, and I didn’t know how to play. I even discovered that my fingers were not divided.

Finally, I gave up my desire to learn to play the piano.

From then on, I finally started to think about myself. I got the opportunity to learn to play the piano. I was really not happy at all. Learning to play the piano was not something I wanted and could get. What I wanted was probably just to listen. A good piece of music, rather than playing it yourself. But my brain converted that feeling into materialistic desires, thinking that getting an electronic keyboard would give me beautiful tunes.

Agudemba remained speechless.

Lacuo continued:

I suddenly discovered that there are two people living in me in my life. One is the noisy, demanding, and cunning self; the other is the hidden spiritual life, whose quiet voice of wisdom is only occasionally heard or noticed by oneself.

I often think that in real life, each of us is an "actor", acting out his own life according to the script every day. The script is written with fantasy and lies, and among this group of actors, there are those who are addicted to the plot, so they believe that it is real, that gods and ghosts control the world, emperors are divinely appointed, and wizards are humans and gods. The messenger, all people must obey the will of God. Many ignorant people believe in the existence of God and soul, including me.

I wanted to be a musician, but I couldn't even read a musical score. It wasn't until that day that I discovered that when I got what I wanted, I was actually unhappy inside because it didn't belong to me.

Later, in a book, I saw knowledge that I didn’t know, which is called brain cognition. When we see something, different people's perceptions will lead to different results. Most of us grow up in an environment filled with all kinds of information, which shapes our perceptions. For example, if you have been living a lie, you will not know what the truth is. Leaders talk about repentance and atonement, partners often chant to save all sentient beings, emperors talk about serving the people, and dictators talk about nationalism. Do you believe this is true? We have been shaped by this kind of growth environment to be ignorant and ignorant, which is caused by cognition.

It was the first time Agudengba heard what Lacuo said, and it was so insightful.

Lacuo continued:

In fact, there is another true self in life, the one who "holds truth and wisdom", and this is another me.

However, it is simply too difficult to discover that "I" because our cognition has long been ingrained. When we look for ourselves, the washed brain, subconscious mind and cognition begin to operate, and it will make us hear "we "Want to hear the news. Just like many people who go to fortune telling, they only hear the good things the fortune teller says and don't pay much attention to the warnings. This is cognition removing information that we don't want to care about.

In fact, the "I" that is formed today by the "education" we received when we grew up and the influence of various information is the "I" we perform every day.

In fact, there is a more real and intelligent "I" that is wrapped up in these stupid cognitions, so that we cannot see ourselves and can only hear the voice of lies.

When Lacuo said goodbye to Agudengba, he sang a song "Retrieve My True Self":

 

In a confused world,

Suddenly I made a discovery,

in my life,

There have always been two me.

 

One is ignorant,

Believe in gods, Buddhas and souls,

Believe in wizards and prophets,

Willing to be a slave to the emperor.

 

One is spiritual life,

Hidden deep in my heart,

That is the existence of the true self,

Don’t believe myths and lies.

 

You and me in reality,

Everyone is an actor,

According to the earthly script,

Play your part.

 

Among this group of actors,

Some people are addicted to drama,

Playing the role of a divine saint,

The method of controlling the people relies on deception.

 

If I want to learn to practice,

Go find that true self,

You have to let go of your ignorance,

Live happily every day.
