What does Shen Yuan mean?

Yuan God, the original meaning of Yuan, is the innate god of human beings. It is given from the avenue after the birth of human fetus, and it is also the basis of reincarnation after death. Samsara is not like the myth, so I won't talk about it here.

The meaning of knowing God, knowing, knowing and learning. For example, people who touch fire after being burned by fire will have a psychological conflict and fear. This is the function of knowing God. In the same way, we can see that not only fear, joy and sadness, but also maternal desire of secular desires are under the control of knowing God. Not only that, the body is full of qi and blood, and the operation of various functional gods is controlled by knowing God.

The tenet of Taiyi Jinhua says: "When mortals are reincarnated, Yuan God lives in a square inch, but knowing God lives in his heart. If he doesn't eat for a day, his heart will be uncomfortable, he will jump up and feel stuffy when he hears the shocking news, he will feel sad when he sees death, and he will feel dizzy when he sees beauty, so his head will move slightly. "

The relationship between Yuan God and Knowing God is analogized by trees. Knowing God is the branch, and Yuan God is the only root. The branches are now on the ground and the roots are hidden underground. Want to know its origin, need to dig. People who live on the land raise everything and collect everything. People are born without roots. Zhang Sanfeng was right to compare man to a rootless tree.

People's ordinary thinking, emotions and actions are all controlled by knowing God, and all belong to movement. If the movement is far away, it will be gone. This is externality and consumption. People meditate, nourish qi and be quiet in practice, that is, return to God's control, return to silence, silence is close, and silence is return. This is inner and self-cultivation. Through practice, one can cultivate one's source, add oil and vinegar to one's life, then settle one's ancestors, gather together, and finally hide air pockets and return to the roots. Let the rootless tree grow roots again, so that it can live forever or not.
