What is the relationship between matter and consciousness? First of all, it is not correct to distinguish materialism, because it is contradictory in itself, because if dialectics is correct, then matter and consciousness are also a pair of contradictions. The result of this pair of contradictions should be that matter can produce consciousness, and consciousness can also produce matter. Sometimes matter plays a decisive role, and sometimes consciousness plays a decisive role. They are mutually transformed and contradictory. We can't just emphasize matter and deny it, nor can we just emphasize consciousness and deny it. This is the dialectics of matter and consciousness. We can't say that the world is materialistic or idealistic, because it doesn't conform to dialectics.
If we say that the world outlook is the unity of matter and consciousness.
methodology is dialectics.
In the past, we always put matter and consciousness in opposition. Either the world is material or the world is conscious, that is, either materialism or idealism is correct, but it is not comprehensive, just like understanding light, that is, either the fluctuation or the particle of light. Later, we learned that light has both fluctuation and particle, which is the unity of fluctuation and particle. In fact, the world is the same. It is both.
If we say that consciousness has an effect on matter, many people are easily confused. They have an idea and then do it. The effect of doing it by themselves after having an idea is actually not what we call the effect of consciousness on matter. What we call the effect of consciousness on matter refers to the effect of ideas (let's just say that) on matter. This kind of idea imperceptibly promotes the development of affairs in the direction it directs. In order to avoid this confusion, consciousness is sometimes used.
second, the concept of matter and consciousness
matter is an objective thing and the way it exists, such as stones, the way stones move, human behavior, electromagnetic waves, sounds, social systems and so on.
consciousness is an idea. For example, my desire to let another person win, my desire to go to school and so on.
Third, the transformation of matter and ideas
Matter and ideas can be transformed into each other. Man is a good machine for transforming matter into consciousness and ideas into matter. Just like a motor, it is a good machine for converting electric energy into kinetic energy, and it is also a machine for converting kinetic energy into electric energy.
Originally, there was no idea. After people had an idea, they produced an idea. An idea can express its requirements through the human brain and human actions, but an idea does not have to be transformed into a material expression form through the human brain, just as electric energy does not have to be transformed into electric energy or heat energy through a motor.
However, just as the motor is a good machine for converting electric energy into kinetic energy, the human brain is a good machine for transforming ideas into material expression, especially the effect of one's own thoughts on one's own behavior and the domination of the physical brain on the body are even greater.
Why do some people do something involuntarily? Many people say that they didn't think about it very much at that time, and somehow ... This is the result of their (or others') ordinary thoughts working at that time.
in matter, the supply of momentum needs the continuous action of power, that is, power can only produce enough momentum, that is, ft=mv, and momentum can only be large if power acts continuously. Consciously, the same is true of the effect of ideas on matter. Only by accumulating ideas continuously can we generate enough momentum and play an obvious role in affairs. "A gentleman strives for self-improvement", why should he strive for self-improvement? On the one hand, it is important to make ideas work continuously. For a short time, the role of consciousness is not obvious, and material conditions play a decisive role. For a long time, the role of consciousness plays a decisive role.
Fourth, the relationship between ideas and time
Ideas are free from time, and they can always look for opportunities to release energy, and will not change with the extension of time until they are released. If the idea of 1 years ago is not released (not implemented according to the requirements of the idea), today, 1 years later, if the conditions are ripe, it can also release power and act on the material world, and can be transformed into the material expression it requires through the form of human brain (or not).
5. Consciousness is action
Like the action and reaction of matter, consciousness also has action and reaction. No matter how much consciousness you have for others, others will have the same consciousness for you (although subconsciously). You love others, others love you, you hate others, and others hate you, but this does not mean that you can't hate others at all, but that you should not hate others for no reason. This is equivalent to the fact that in the world, if you hit others, others will hit you, but it doesn't mean that you can't fight back at all, just that it's good for you to hit others less. You'd better not think about the motivation of everyone's disgusting behavior. If you have motivation, you will objectively form a certain bad idea for yourself, which is equivalent to someone who will easily wet his shoes as soon as he gets to the river. When you think about doing bad behavior (such as stealing, etc.), objectively, the idea that everyone formed before will form a bad momentum for you, but thinking about it once or twice has little effect on yourself, because the idea that comes from the motivation reaction once or twice is weak and not enough to affect yourself. Why is it that the Buddhist saying that "every thought has its consequences" is absolute, but there is a certain truth. If the accumulation of thoughts is large, there will be consequences, whether it is good or bad.
VI. Phenomena that can be explained by using the above knowledge
Whether a philosophical viewpoint is correct or not depends on whether it can explain some phenomena (at least it can justify itself). If it can be well explained, this philosophical viewpoint may be correct. If it cannot be explained, it means that there is still room for improvement here. Below, give some examples to illustrate:
Many examples in life can be explained by the above theories.
Why do you say that "a strong heart leads to ambition"?
why do you say "if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking"?
why do you say that "everything is done in advance (the most important thing is to be prepared by heart), and if it is not done in advance, it will be abolished"?
why do you say, "if you get the word, you will get more help, but if you lose the word, you will get less help"?
why do you say "the man who wins the hearts of the people wins the world"? Chu and Han contended why Liu Bang finally won (immediately after hitting Xianyang, he withdrew a lot of tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and appeased Zi Ying, even the enemy's consciousness was beneficial to him, but Xiang Yu was not like this at all, or did not do enough. It is only a necessary process to say that the reason for Liu Bang's victory is that he can submit to humiliation and employ people. ）？
wait, wait.
All the above statements actually play a role in the development of affairs through the accumulation of ideas. Here are a few more examples:
For example, why do you say that "long-term cooperation will lead to separation, long-term separation will lead to integration"
There is a saying in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms that "all major events in the world will be separated for a long time, and long-term separation will lead to integration". Why do you say that "long-term cooperation will lead to separation, long-term separation will lead to integration"? The key is that ideas are at work, and people have a personality that likes to change. After a long time, people's thoughts have always wondered whether it is better to separate. After a long time, people's thoughts have always wondered whether it is better to combine. Of course, it is another function for people who have this idea to do it directly. The key is that after a long time of thinking, more people have ideas. After the ideas are strong, they will have an effect on the material and produce the reality of doing it according to the requirements of the ideas.
There are too many things that can be explained by applying the above viewpoints. It can be said that almost everything in society can be explained.
Of course, some people say that I wanted to go to college, but why didn't I? I mean that matter and ideas complement each other, and that ideas have a certain effect on society. I don't deny the role of matter, but I just mean that the same two people are likely to go to college with big ideas (the sum of many people's ideas accumulated over a long period of time), and they will easily exceed their level when they go to college, while those with small ideas (not those who took the exam for a short time at that time) have no ideas.
certain material conditions can also produce ideas, which in turn react to matter.
Although some superstitions are not completely correct, some (such as good or bad houses and faces) have been circulating for many years and have such strong vitality. There must be some truth in them. I'm not saying that all superstitions are reasonable here, such as what religion, who is the Virgin, birthdates and so on, which are all tricks of people. Let me analyze some so-called superstitions below.
VII. About the good or ill luck of the house
Why are some haunted houses and some auspicious houses? There are some reasons, for example, why do you say that the streets should not go straight, and the streets should go straight to the house (especially the doors), which is not conducive to people's awareness inertia of walking forward (people's thinking inertia means that people and cars keep moving forward). After a long time, the accumulated awareness is more, which is not conducive to people in the house. In fact, this is the result of the action of ideas. In addition, there is a pit in front of the house, which is also the same reason. Why do you say that some houses are auspicious houses and others are haunted houses? There are many psychological studies, and people's psychology produces ideas, which act on the world and eventually some phenomena appear. Therefore, there is some truth in the saying of good or ill luck houses, but the good or ill luck of houses should have little to do with people's zodiac signs and birthdates.
But what is a lucky house and what is a haunted house is a science. It doesn't mean that all the statements about a lucky house are right. Just like analyzing the force of an object physically, it doesn't necessarily mean that people who admit that the motion state of an object is the result of the force will know how to find the force of the object, and those who know how to analyze the force of the object may not be right every time. Some forces are still difficult to analyze. Although they know the force analysis, they can't always analyze it. If you don't know gravity, you can't analyze why the earth revolves around the sun, but not knowing gravity doesn't mean that it is wrong for a centripetal object to do circular motion, only that you don't know enough. Similarly, some statements about good or bad houses may not be correct, but it does not mean that they cannot be analyzed, but I believe most of them are correct.
In fact, many so-called superstitions are about the effect of ideas on matter. If you don't recognize the effect of ideas on matter (not that people have an idea and then do it, but only that ideas have an effect on matter), you will say that they are superstitions. In fact, many of them have some truth, but you can't explain them.
VIII. About divination
Is there any truth in divination? It is reasonable. Consciousness has no concept of time, and it can work through time. If you are sincere, you will be spiritual. If you think it is correct (not just at that time), you will always think it is correct. If you accumulate your thoughts to a certain extent, then divination will be correct. If it is not correct, it means that you usually don't believe it is accurate, you don't form an idea, or you don't form enough ideas, or the person who divines you doesn't have enough ideas to support his divination, so divination may not be accurate. Similarly, the same is true for measuring characters and labels.
is prayer useful? It's useless. No god will bless you. If it's useful, it's a certain psychological comfort. Your mind is firm and your consciousness has accumulated steadily. After a long time, it has a certain effect.
IX. About omen
About omen, what is omen? It can be divided into physical omen and consciousness omen. Physical omen means that before something happens, there are physical anomalies to reflect that it will happen, such as the omen of an earthquake, abnormal electromagnetic waves before the earthquake, the phenomenon that bicycle tires are tired before they are completely deflated, and so on. These are all physical omens. About the omen of consciousness, it means that there are non-physical omens before affairs. For example, some people will feel restless before important events. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a thing that a minister advised Zhuge Liang that it is not easy to send troops before he left Qishan in the West Shu. Apart from his own analysis and understanding, he saw a bird flying eastward and died in the morning. This is a bad omen. Like this, it is conscious. Whether such an omen is accurate or not, how should we know it? First of all, the premise of its accuracy is that you always believe that there is such an omen, and it is accurate. Secondly, you need some experience and research. Like physical omen, he has misunderstandings. Before the earthquake, some phenomena such as the barking of chickens and dogs, but if you say that chickens and dogs are barking today, it must be a premonitory earthquake. That is wrong, and you need experience and analytical ability. What about the premonition of consciousness? I don't mean that when I see any omen, there must be something corresponding. In addition to the preconditions (I believe in such omens at ordinary times), I have to have certain experience and analytical judgment ability. Just like physical omens, some are accurate. Then there is another question. Can you avoid some things according to the aura of consciousness? Since the physical aura can prevent and reduce losses (such as earthquakes), the aura of consciousness should also have such a role. Although you can't avoid it, you can reduce losses. For example, if you have a meeting today, you realize (not logically, but feel) that the meeting is not good for you. Many people will attack you because of your usual arrogance. Although you can't let everyone be wrong for a while. A person with good perception ability can often be more active, like a sharp knife, and have the ability to do things.
