Super body and I Ching, Buddhism

When the movie was about to end, I could hardly believe that in my heart I was about to award the "best movie of all time" to a science fiction film. However, the thinking that this movie brings to me, and the aspects it unfolds to me, make me a lazy person have to say something.

In short, there are a few keywords that I connect to this movie. The Book of Changes, Buddhism, spiritual reality.

The Book of Changes.

Everyone has at least heard one sentence from the Book of Changes: Taiji produces two instruments, two instruments produce four images, four images produce eight trigrams, and eight trigrams represent everything. bing! Isn’t that how the cells divide in the biology book? From this perspective, everything in the vast world comes from the same origin. I don't know what that origin is. Perhaps it is a kind of energy that allows all "we" to move forward endlessly with a mission. Happened, happened, continued to happen, so there was time.

Buddhism.

Gradually, I found that the thinking concepts I came into contact with (if I could call them "wisdom" with a thick skin), all the branches point to one source. Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yi, Buddhism, philosophy, even physics and science, myths and legends, sci-fi stories...Buddhist thoughts fit the theme of this movie to a very high degree. What Lucy said impressed me: We have never really died. It means that our thoughts are in an endless cycle of rebirth. The vast majority of people are controlled by ignorance, like fish in a pond. They don’t know that there is another world, and they don’t know that someone is watching fish or setting bait and fishing. , The phase is born from the heart, and the state changes with the heart. Everything is made by the heart.

Spiritual reality.

This is a video of about an hour made by a foreigner. It talks about what happens when human spirituality is developed to varying degrees. It matches the level of Lucy's brain development in the movie. For example, at a certain level, "people" will break through the constraints of space and time, travel freely, knowing the truth about everything. And everywhere.

Generally speaking, there is too much brain activity here, and it is not my brain that can understand it. Anyway, in this life, I won't be able to become an immortal or a Buddha. The advantage of getting in touch with these thoughts and thinking about them by myself is that I can make myself a little bit more aware of everything in my life.

I often do this: If I feel unhappy, I open my palm and look at my young 24-year-old hand. At that moment, I have the whole process of these hands from birth to growth to peak to aging. In the end, I know that it will disappear. . Yes, my hands will completely disappear in this world. They are the hands I am typing now. Only in less than seven or eighty years (if I have such a long life).

That's why Shakyamuni tells you:

All the actions are like dream bubbles.
As dew is like electricity, see it as it is.

    Imagination of failure. Luc Besson, 80% of the time, used more drugs and had hallucinations, and mistakenly thought that he had the right way. Comparing with Ted Jiang’s "Comprehension", we know that no matter how flying the idea, a responsible creator must clearly realize that he is a human being who is telling a story, not a drunk Rinpoche.

Lucy quotes

  • Professor Norman: Animal life on Earth goes back millions of years. Yet most species only use 3 to 5% of its cerebal capacity. But it isn't until we reached human beings at the top of the animal chain that we finally see a species use more of its cerebral capacity. 10% might not seem like much, but it's a lot if you look at all we've done with it.

  • Professor Norman: For primitive beings like us, life seems to have only one single purpose: gaining time. And it is going through time that seems to be also the only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies. To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells that make up earthworms and human beings has only two solutions. Be immortal, or to reproduce. If its habitat is not sufficiently favorable or nurturing, the cell will choose immortality. In other words, self-sufficiency and self-management. On the other hand, if the habitat is favorable, they will choose to reproduce. That way, when they die, they hand down essential information and knowledge to the next cell. Which hands it down to the next cell and so on. Thus knowledge and learning are handed down through time.
