Dragon-slaying illusion.

In fact, to a certain extent, when a person really bets on one thing with his energy and attention, he will easily enter a state of selflessness...

The so-called selflessness means that in the process of doing things, you completely ignore your own existence, completely ignore your own feelings, and completely forget your needs...

In this state, people cannot feel hunger, pain, and will not feel burning or cold...

It's like completely losing consciousness...

Generally speaking, in this case, most people are actually in a state similar to vegetatives. People are obviously survivors, but their consciousness completely disappears...

Under such a state, no matter how severe the pain a person suffers, he will not react at all. As long as he is not fatally injured, his body will not die...

However, the biggest difference between people entering a state of selflessness and vegetatives is that vegetatives completely dissipate for some reason or fall into a deep sleep. Just like for a sleeping person, no matter how huge the noise is made by this person, if they really sleep very hard, they will generally not wake up...

However, people who enter a state of selflessness have a phenomenon that is too strong, which produces a phenomenon that is similar to the extreme of things that will turn against each other. Because the consciousness is too strong, when this intensity exceeds a certain limit, people often cannot feel the existence of this self-consciousness. This is a concept similar to transcendence...

It's like a person who is extremely selfish. In fact, it turns out to be selfless naturally. In fact, it's the same truth...

It sounds ridiculous. It is extremely selfish, so why does it become selfless?

But in fact, this is really what it is!

Just like a person, if he has enough ambition, he will naturally work hard to fight because of his own and ambition. A person's ambition is undoubtedly a manifestation of selfishness, and this is beyond doubt...

However, if a person's ambition is covered by his ambition, then for those who are covered by his ambition, the so-called selfishness brought about by this ambition actually becomes a kind of selflessness...

Just like an ambitious person running a company, perhaps when it comes to the outside world, the person has great ambitions and power, but when it comes to the inside, he often regards his company and even the employees in the company as his own property, which is because of this mentality. Therefore, such people often present an internal attitude with a very wise attitude. He will not allow various disadvantages in the company, nor will he allow people to engage in various workplace struggles beyond the limit in his company...

The more ambitious a person is, the more he often presents an attitude of distinction between public and private internal affairs, because ambitious people are often very clear that if they want to achieve true success, they will not be able to make mistakes anywhere. If they make any mistakes, they may eventually fall into a state of endless restitution...

The biggest difference between selfishness and public intention is essentially just because of the level. There are fewer people who manage and more senior executives, so people are more likely to develop selfishness. With more people who manage and fewer senior executives, the more likely they overlap between selfishness and public intention...

And the emperor of a country often does not have too much selfishness, because the country itself belongs to the emperor. For the emperor, destroying his own country is a meaningless thing. Whether from a private idea or from the perspective of the emperor's own profession, the emperor must make a country stronger and must take into account the interests of every people. For an emperor, every people are like cattle and sheep that they grazed themselves. Any loss is something they are unwilling to bear...

This is a typical combination of selfishness and public spirit...

Just like for the middle and lower levels of an enterprise, the money earned by the company and the money earned by themselves are actually different, or there is no inevitable causal relationship. Even if the amount of money earned by the company is really enough to enter their pockets, the proportion of those who can enter their pockets is often only a small part. This is because of this, among the middle and lower levels of employees or managers, the sense of belonging to the company is not very strong. It is because of this that there is so-called embezzlement of public funds or frequent job-changing...

This is also what people call selfishness, because whether the company goes bankrupt or has a great success, for the employees at the bottom, these changes will have little impact on their income. Even if the company goes bankrupt, they can still have salary income. Even if the company's market value has been increased several times, their salary will not change much...

Under such selfishness, people often easily do things that go against the interests of the company because of their own interests...

On the contrary, if it is a senior employee of a company, the situation is completely different for senior employees. For a senior white-collar worker in the workplace, what they need is no longer just money, they need enough qualifications and honors to prove their talents. In addition, for senior talents in the workplace who have reached a certain level, their interests and the interests of the company are often completely bound together...

Unlike those low-level staff, the senior executives of a company are often closely related to the company. If the company does a good job, these senior executives will naturally be highly regarded by others and recognize their abilities. Their income will also rise with the increase of the company. They may even receive equity dividends from some companies as rewards for their hard work...

If the company eventually collapses, then they will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, and their recognition of their qualifications and related abilities is often easily greatly reduced...

This is a kind of interest binding relationship. This is because of this kind of interest binding relationship that loses and prospers together, most senior executives of enterprises often rarely make some corruption. For them, the better the company, the better they will be...

Unless they have decided to leave the company and find another way out before this, and even packed up their teams and prepared to leave, otherwise they would not betray the interests of the original company...

After reaching this stage, there is actually a high degree of overlap between public and selfishness. For the good of the company, it is often for the good of oneself...

What goes further is the board of directors in various large enterprises. Compared with manager-level workers, the members of the board of directors can be said to be the real owners of a company. The interests of the company are completely linked to the interests of these directors. If the company's market value increases, shareholders can have more interests. If the company collapses, the directors will have nothing to do...

So for the directors, they are absolutely "no distinction between public and private". For them, public affairs and private affairs can be said to be completely integrated into one. Anything, as long as it influences the interests of the company, must affect their own interests. Any scandal in the company is equivalent to slapping them in the face. Anything that affects the reputation of the company is equivalent to affecting their own reputation. That is because of this, basically, the board of directors often does not really care about any mercy when dealing with company personnel. As long as it affects the interests of the company, they will be fired mercilessly by the company...

There is no so-called faction, nor so-called favors...

This is like the existence of officials. The higher the official, the less corruption there will be. The reason is nothing more than a transformation from selfishness to public intentions...

Just like the emperor of a country, from the perspective of a country, such a status is completely without any other intentions. Having such a status, thinking about what to make profits for oneself and for one's descendants is actually a real joke, because he no longer needs to think about problems like this, nor does he need to think about problems like this. Even if they don't want to, there will naturally be someone who will solve all their worries for them. When they have achieved this position, their personal affairs have been completely withdrawn from the scope of consideration of people of this level...

People who are truly in high positions have actually taken personal affairs very indifferently. What they really care about is that by this time, they have often transformed from the power struggle in the officialdom to how to make the country prosperous and strong, and how to make the country's economy and status stand among the world's strong countries. This is what they really need to consider at this time, and it is also what they really care about...

Ordinary officials may let go of some officials who may be shameful because of factions, but for the emperor, the interests of the country and his own interests are actually firmly tied together. Therefore, for the emperor, any enemy that is harmful to the country and any enemy that is harmful to the country must be punished. After reaching this level, for the emperor himself, there is actually no so-called factional disputes. Everything is for the country. People who are harmful to the country must be completely eliminated, while those who are beneficial to the country must be cultivated carefully and push the other party to a high position...

In fact, even if it was a huge corrupt like Heshen, it actually made a huge contribution to the emperor. If someone tried to rebel, Heshen would definitely use all means to destroy the other party as soon as possible. To a certain extent, the relationship between Heshen and Qianlong was a typical relationship of loss. Heshen was indeed a corrupt official, but in fact, the money he collected was not used by himself. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than collecting money for the emperor. His wealth of Heshen was nothing more than a huge silver bill that the emperor could use at any time...

Not only that, many times, Heshen did not actually collect the money from officials himself, but was collecting the money for the emperor. He just accepted the loyalty of these officials for the emperor...

And it is because of this. In fact, although Emperor Qianlong knew what Heshen did, he did not make any form of punishment or trial on Heshen from beginning to end. The reason was nothing more than that, for the emperor, Heshen's existence could allow him to better control every move in the officialdom and make his inner treasury more abundant. It can be said that Heshen's interests, to a certain extent, also represent the interests of the emperor. The emperor himself knew very well that Heshen would never betray him, because once he betrayed, the other party would have nothing...

This is a transformation between selfishness and publicness...

If one day all mankind gather under the rule of a federal government, then for the presidents and senior officials of this federal government, what they need to think about is the dispute between countries. More often, they will devote all their efforts to all mankind. At that time, in their consciousness, the so-called race and so-called countries are actually not that important. They may be more concerned about the possible conflicts between Earthlings and aliens or the diplomacy that arises...

And this is the biggest difference between the vegetative state and the selfless state!

Although they all show a state of losing themselves, in fact, there are essential differences between the two. The former means the destruction of consciousness or deep sleep, while the latter is a state of high concentration of consciousness and the extreme of objects formed by the extreme...

If you give an example, the consciousness of most ordinary people is like ordinary water...

Vegetative consciousness is ice cubes under ultra-low temperatures. Although this ice cube is also water, it loses the possibility of flow, just like the consciousness of a person who is completely asleep. If there is no way to thaw, then there is no way to truly wake up. This process is often very difficult. The longer it takes to become an implanted person, the more it is frozen, the more eroded, the more difficult it is to recover, and the more difficult it is to wake up...

The so-called state of selflessness is just the opposite. Just like water boiling at high temperatures, it has been completely vaporized into water vapor. After vaporization, the consciousness has lost its form of consciousness and transformed into a state of existence and non-existence. Under this state, consciousness is no longer a conventional consciousness, but a sublimation state of consciousness, and there has been fundamental changes in form!

One is freezing under low temperatures, and the other is nothingness after high temperatures. These are two completely different states...

In fact, this is also a change of obsession...

If the obsession reaches a certain level, it will naturally disappear...

Because of human instinct, they will subconsciously kill this obsession, leaving behind a pure consciousness...

This is actually like one of the so-called most common paths to becoming a saint among many prehistoric novels, which is the so-called killing of the three corpses!

The so-called killing of the three corpses is actually to cut off one's own good thoughts, evil thoughts and obsessions, and to cut off good and evil, and to cut off attachments. Then a person will naturally have no good or evil, and will not be obsessed. After reaching such a state, he will be close to the origin of the world. Such a person will naturally be a saint...

In fact, the so-called good or the so-called evil is itself a kind of obsession, because different people always have completely different standards for distinguishing good and evil. For most good people, even small evil is an unforgivable great evil in their eyes. For most evil people, even if it is just small good, it can already be regarded as great good among them. Before good and evil, it is often very difficult to weigh. Everyone has their own view of right and wrong, and their own understanding of good and evil...

Just like something like extramarital affairs, some people will think that it is nothing big, nor does it matter so-called morality. They may even think that the existence of extramarital affairs is a typical representative of the true feelings that are positive in the world...

Some people will think that those who betray marriage and betrayal are extremely sinful and evil. They can be said to be the evil among the great evil people. They abandon their original wicked wife and look for their so-called love. In fact, they are nothing more than just having fun with the new and old. There is no question of pursuing the so-called true love. They are nothing more than just finding an excuse for their shamelessness...

And many things in the world are actually like this...

People always have their own position and their own opinions, so they will naturally have a perception of good and evil. However, the true sense of saints should actually be neither good nor evil. The so-called evil people should be struck by lightning in the sky. In fact, it is just a fantasy of most people about beautiful things. Most of them die from natural disasters are just ordinary people. There may be evil people, but there are definitely no good people in a few. This is the power of the way of heaven!

The true way of heaven is never influenced by the thoughts of mortals...

Thunder is thunder, rain is rain, mountain collapse is mountain collapse, tsunami is tsunami, no good or evil, naturally...

Of course, the so-called "no good or evil" does not mean that the saints really have no view of right or wrong, nor does it mean that the saints really have no purpose in doing things...

It is just that when entering this state of no good or evil, a saint will no longer be influenced by external things. The good and evil in the eyes of ordinary people have no meaning to them. They will only do what they think they should do, and they will only do what they want to do...

They will trigger wars between mortals for their own interests, but they will not cause any cause and effect, nor will they feel guilty or pain because their concepts of right and wrong have long been different from those of mortals. What they recognize is the world, the concepts of good and evil they construct, and the things they pursue are already very different from those of ordinary people...

After reaching their height, if the world is a huge chess board, then they are equivalent to those who play chess. What kind of fate is the chess piece? For them, it is an irrelevant thing. What they need to compete for is just the number of energy on the chess board. They will not care about which piece of chess has been exhausted. What they really care about is the situation on the entire chess board, and what they care about is the distribution of forces on the entire chess board... (To be continued...)
