There is a very important task to understand our brains, which is to deceive us. Because the human brain can help us survive, its primary purpose is to survive and reproduce, not to be real. Because our brains do not focus on which one is true and which one is false, is this thing lying to me?

Our brains often deceive us. The brain relies on coaxing us to find food, let us mate, and let us feel short-term happiness. Then this happiness disappears quickly, and you will pursue it again, then feel the short-term happiness and endure endless pain, so that our genes can be continuously continued. Therefore, we live in the illusions that our brain has caused to us for a long time.

is first and foremost a daily illusion. Daily illusions, such as people like to eat junk food, a large number of children, and young people like to eat junk food. Junk food has obvious damage to our bodies, and now medicine has proven it. But why does it make us so addicted? Because it brings us external and short pleasure, our bodies recognize this thing.

illusion also includes our pursuit of promotion. Is it really that good to be promoted? Many people live more and more painful life and more stressful after being promoted. We also keep shopping, and we buy a lot of useless things at home and pile up there. Why? If you are really a rational person, you will not live like this, but you cannot control yourself. When you reach that point, you will have to do such a thing.

From the perspective of evolutionary psychology , there is a very important proposition, which is why the pleasure gained by humans will disappear. Think about it, if the pleasure of happiness does not disappear, this life will be beautiful. As long as you have once, you will never have to come again in this life. You will be happy and always be in this ecstasy and happiness. That way, humans will become extinct. Therefore, it must make you disappear. The urge to eat donuts will be satisfied after taking the first bite, and then you will eat it later. The more you eat it, the more disgusting it becomes, but after a week, I wanted to eat it again. This is to keep us dedicating our body. Our own body is actually not important. We make it a gene.

After you see these truths clearly, you will find that, in fact, if you have the courage to meditate, you will be able to feel that our lives are full of many illusions. "The more I study Buddhism , the more I feel it is radical, but the more I look at Buddhism from the perspective of modern psychology , the more I feel it is reasonable. The 'maternal body' in real life, that is, the real world we live in, looks more like the 'maternal body' in movies - perhaps not as bizarre and weird as in movies, but also full of misleading."

Why is the world on the other side of the door more real than the world we are familiar with.

Please note that Westerners have never had experiences before. We Easterners may have experienced them a long time ago. If you heard a book like "The Miracle of Mindfulness", you will know that we can completely focus on that feeling, take care of that feeling, and then experience it, and then it will gradually decrease.

Then his next feeling was, "I remember thinking about something like this, such as: 'Yes, the feeling of grinding teeth is still there, it is usually classified as an annoying feeling by me, but this feeling is not owned by me on my chin. I am in my own mind,' I no longer equate with this feeling. It can be said that I am observing it objectively. At that moment, this feeling no longer controls me. The boring feeling has not disappeared, but it is no longer boring. This situation is really strange."

This situation is actually not strange at all. I have experienced it countless times, that is, when you encounter troubles, what you have to do is not to reject that trouble and say that you kill it. I don't want to be upset, but to feel that trouble, experience that trouble, and live in harmony with that trouble. At this time, you will find that although the worries are still there, your mind is calm. This is a feeling of meditation.The experience that this feeling brought to him was that he discovered that I was controlled by hallucinations before, that if you could not face these truth truthfully, you would be controlled by the feeling of excessive intake of caffeine , and you would feel upset.
