My Knowledge Of Cultivation Is Completely Shattered - Chapter 202

“Fck, fck, fck!!” cursed Aryan on top of the tree. He was about to use his teleportation spell when his weird symptom acted up and ruined everything.

But now that he stopped, he got a new idea to cover that distance even faster than teleportation. With the teleportation spell, he had to use it at least seven or eight times to cover that distance, but with his new idea, he had the ability to cover it in a flash.

This time, instead of chanting the spell, he closed his eyes and started to think about the meaning of life and creation. The more he thinks, the more his body started to fade. At one point a time came when his physical body got converted to light particles.

Sen entered into the world tree and traveled through its trunk to reach its core. Since the core was already connected with seven hundred 699 more trees, he targeted the tree at the end of the connection.

Shoosh!!

All the distance was instantly covered in a flash. Aryan again tried to sense the tree at the endpoint of the connection and transferred his body there, through the connection existing between the cores.

Sen used that trick again and again and crossed a long distance within a fraction of nanoseconds.

Now that he was getting used to it, he can travel even faster in between the vast connection formed between the world trees.

After traveling for some time, Sen reached his destination and got out of the core. Till then his body was in a particle form. Sen again thought about the meaning of life and creation to awaken his inherited power and convert back to his physical form.

But here comes the problem that was completely unexpected for him. His spells and power didn’t work as he thought they would. His body remained in a light particle form instead of converting into his physical form.

Sen was getting tensed as if he won’t able to change to his physical form he may not be able to do anything. Amidst of his thinking, he remembered something about which he had forgotten completely.

The Yin Yang constitution of the body. When his body dissipated his yin yang constitution got distorted, since there was not effort in it his body was able to change form easily.

But when his body was reconstructing again, he forgot to adjust his Yin Yang constitution and proportion.

Aryan began to chant the attributes to start his constitution and reformation. The process was slow, but it was working at least.

After chanting the attributes spell even after half an hour, only his ear was the only one that had returned back to his physical shape.

Sen was getting a feeling something was bubbling up inside him, and something was going to come out anytime, before he reacts to it and tried to stop it, that thing came out of it and began to take action.

His weird symptom of attribute recitation acted up, and he started chanting it out loudly. Since no one was there, he was safe for the time being.

The yin yang, an ancient symbol of harmony and balance, challenges the conventional association of light with good and darkness with evil.

The complexities of human behavior and experiences by placing them in one of two categories — part or whole, negative or positive, competitive or collaborative — yin yang emphasizes the necessity of each to create balance. Following this mindset, light and darkness lose their original associations and become part of the deeper dynamics at play in an individual’s journey.

In Daoism, yin is associated with darkness, depth, weakness, submission, intuition, and femininity. On the yang side, there is lightness, warmth, summer, aggression, rational thought, and masculinity.

The Daoistic use of those metaphors is very different. Darkness is not something to be overcome. Darkness is something that’s part of the natural rhythms and flows of the universe, and you need dark and light — you don’t even know what one is without the other.

In Daoist philosophy, dark and light, yin and yang, arrive in the world after the birth of the Yin and the Yang Emperors. It becomes sensible from an initial quiescence and continues moving until quiescence is reached again.

For instance, dropping a stone in a calm pool of water will simultaneously raise waves and lower troughs between them, and this alternation of high and low points in the water will radiate outward until the movement dissipates, and the pool is calm once more. Yin and yang thus are always opposite and equal qualities. Further, whenever one quality reaches its peak, it will naturally begin to transform into the opposite quality: for example, a grain that reaches its full height in summer (fully yang) will produce seeds and die back in winter (fully yin) in an endless cycle.

It is impossible to talk about yin or yang without some reference to the opposite since yin and yang are bound together as parts of a mutual whole.

For example, there cannot be the bottom of the foot without the top. A way to illustrate this idea is to postulate the notion of a race with only women or only men; this race would disappear in a single generation. Yet, women and men together create new generations that allow the race they mutually create and mutually come from to survive. The interaction of the two gives birth to things, like manhood.

Yin and yang transform each other like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall. Thus, a seed will sprout from the earth and grow upwards towards the sky—an intrinsical yang movement. Then, when it reaches its full potential height, it will fall. Also, the growth of the top seeks light, while roots grow in darkness.

To achieve this balance between the two, the Daoist approach emphasizes aligning oneself with the equilibrium flows of the cosmos and living in harmony with nature because of the belief in a natural order or “the way.”

The nature of yin yang is that it is not static. For example, day and night gradually flow into each other and the balance between them changes with the seasons.

In addition to the central idea of balance, the word ‘paradox’ can also characterize the yin-yang symbol.

Is dark really bad and is light really good?

The statement is both true and false. Because it depends on what mindset an individual is working from. Much of a person’s worldview is constructed from their past experiences and community interactions.

Paradoxes like yin yang are confusing because [they] force us to think deeper than the presenting concept itself. Those on a journey to achieve balance can measure their progress based on their own internal flow. If you’re obstructing the flow in your body, that will manifest itself in certain mental, social, and spiritual ways. It will also manifest itself in social environments that get out of balance — dysfunctions in families, wider communities, nations, and so forth.

Inevitable struggles in life can cause imbalance and prevent personal growth. Yang emperor believes that utilizing the concepts of yin yang can help people realize that, just like the symbol’s interlocking spirals, life is a permanently evolving passage, and both light and darkness are needed in balance.

After reading out the whole set of profound meaning that he had inherited from his gramps, his body began to solidify and took shape. But without the power of creation, it was still somewhat incomplete.

Though his weird symptoms had already stopped, Sen tried to remember the knowledge of creation and read it out like the previous time.

One part of the field of life’s meaning consists of the systematic attempt to clarify what people mean when they ask in virtue of what life has meaning.

The meaning of life as we perceive it is derived from philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness.

Many other issues are also involved, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife.

Sages and researchers in positive psychology study empirical factors that lead to life satisfaction, full engagement in activities, making a fuller contribution by utilizing one’s personal strengths and meaning based on investing in something larger than the self.

Some studies of flow experiences have consistently suggested that humans experience meaning and fulfillment when mastering challenging tasks, and that the experience comes from the way tasks are approached and performed rather than the particular choice of task.

Neuroscience describes reward, pleasure, and motivation in terms of neurotransmitter activity, especially in the limbic system and the ventral tegmental area in particular.

If one believes that the meaning of life is to maximize pleasure and to ease general life, then this allows normative predictions about how to act to achieve this. Likewise, some ethical naturalists advocate a science of morality—the empirical pursuit of flourishing for all conscious creatures.

The origins of life cannot be dated as precisely, but there is evidence that bacteria-like organisms lived on planets 3.5 billion years ago, and they may have existed even earlier, when the first solid crust formed, almost 4 billion years ago.
