I reviewed "Inception" a few days ago, and re-watched "The Matrix" by the way. In addition, I turned over a dozen pages of Venerable Ramana's "The True Self" every day, and I was in a daze for a while.
Don't worry about it all day long, like Chuang Sheng's dream butterfly, I don't know where I am in, what is the real world?
There is a clip in "The Matrix" in which Morpheus gave Neo two pills. The blue represents the current fantasy, and the red represents the final reality. Ask him which one to choose? Neo chooses to understand the truth in the end, but in the film Seif prefers to betray his friends and stay in the illusion.
In fact, the film deliberately highlights the good side of the illusion, such as delicious and juicy steaks and the temptation of beautiful beauties. However, even the illusion has evils everywhere, such as poverty, hunger, disease, fear, deception, betrayal, anxiety, greed, Hatred, wait.
Those who have benefited from reality in the illusion will naturally choose the blue pill, while in the illusion, those with too many suffers will most likely choose red.
Therefore, if the existing human world is a fantasy program designed by machine civilization, just to provide machines with bioelectricity or innovation, why not design this world as a world of bliss? Better to enclose humanity in this illusion?
Furthermore, if the existing world is an illusory program, why design a human dream? Dream or waking, which one is true? Is it because Zhuang Sheng was a butterfly and dreamed of becoming a human, or was Zhuang Sheng who was a human but dreamed of becoming a butterfly?
In "Inception", it’s even more amazing. You don’t know whether dreams are nested in dreams. From this point of view, the eighteen layers of hell that the ancestors said really seem to be there. So what happened.
From the perspective of program design, this recursive nesting algorithm is a lot. If it is really an illusion, is it not too difficult to realize this dream set of dreams?
The manufacturing of individual humans is to inherit a human class, initialize an instance, and create "self-awareness". The interface is your six (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind), and any sensory stimulation triggers the invocation of the corresponding response. Are programs, robots, and artificial intelligence designed in the same way?
Speaking of sensory stimulation, when dreaming, your six faculties are closed and there is no stimulation. But why is the dream so real? As if you can feel the breeze blowing in your dreams, or the feeling of falling off a cliff?
Which one is true, dream or waking? Or are they both illusory? Venerable Ramana said that a person has four states: waking, dreaming, and sleeping, and this fourth state is the real state. Whether a person is in the waking state or in the dream state, he will not fall from the real state. It is like the screen of a movie. The three realms (wake, dream, and sleep) pass by, and the screen is not affected.
Let me talk about what I saw from Zhuangzi, "Little knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, but not as big as a big year." This is about the limitations of the world of biological cognition. The summer insects only live for one season, and it does not know that there are four seasons of reincarnation, and the fungi that live and die will definitely not realize that the moon will be cloudy and clear.
The same is true for human beings, with a life span of only a few decades. There are also many unknown laws of mankind, and the laws of reincarnation may be changing in hundreds of years or thousands of years. The six roots of mankind cannot be seen, which does not mean that these laws do not exist. Therefore, human beings should not be limited by the length of their lives and the perception of the six sense elements.
The unknown world of mankind is still like the vast universe. Going back to the film, it is said that the machine civilization invented by mankind, in turn, controlled mankind and illusory the current world.
However, how many years have humans existed on this earth? Couldn't it be an intelligent creature that precedes mankind, imagining the world of mankind? Even this entire universe is an illusion?
What is the real world? Do you want to know? Which one would you choose, red or blue pills?
