32. Who is in the present? 

A spiritual practitioner once said to me: "I have attended many spiritual courses, even traveled to the United States and India for them, spending millions. What I have learned is no more than 'love others unconditionally, love yourself, and then live in the present.' After reading “Frequency of Civilization”, I had an epiphany and felt that the courses I took were a waste. However, when reading the chapter of “Developing Jue (Perception)” which also mentions “living in the present”, I felt confused. Isn’t this going back to what I learned before?”

 

In recent years, many people and articles have various interpretations of living in the present, making it a fashionable topic. However, being perplexed by Xiang (Manifestation) and with superficial understanding and misinterpretations, people are easily misled.

 

I said to this practitioner: When discussing 'living in the present', you should not ignore the subject of Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition). After learning Yiology, you should ask a question-who is in the present?”

 

We can say that before Yi was transmitted, no one lived in the present.

 

Living in the present has a prerequisite, which is to awaken the 'I'. You need to first understand what 'I' is, awaken the 'I', and only then can you approach the truth and live in the present. Otherwise, living in the present is an empty phrase, sounding wise but actually foolish, like a bewitching soup that confuses many.

 

In “Frequency of Civilization”, I use the phrase “to live in the present” to facilitate communication with people. The chapter of “Developing Jue (Perception)” is about “how to live in the present” for the Yiology learners. So, why live in the present? What does “living in the present’ mean in Yi?

 

The Yiology learners know that we live in the world of Xiang (Manifestation). The realness you feel comes from: the interaction between Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) and the energy of the present moment. The past, like time and space freeze, can be recalled or traced back. However, it cannot interact with Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition). The future, like trend of energy, can be projected by Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition). However, the projection only adds variables and people cannot interact with it.

 

When you understand the above truths, you can live in reality and can truly comprehend what “living in the present” mean in Yi: You can only interact with the energy of the present moment, improve Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) and maintain balance in the interactions. At this point, you will understand how to take responsibility for your own life.

 

There is more than one bewitching soup, besides living in the present, there are others like 'I am inherently complete', 'my heart is X (Buddha, God, One, Universe...)', 'be yourself', 'seek within'... etc. When people do not know how to break the Xiang (Manifestation), they will parrot what others say and mistake misunderstanding as their own opinion, without realizing the limitation of Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition).

 

'I am inherently complete', 'my heart is X', after being lost for a long time, it's inevitable to seek some comfort. Even though it's a cover-up, it stifles the development of Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) and encourages self-righteousness. How can people be inherently complete? The development of Shi (Cognition) is endless.

 

As for “Be yourself” and “To seek within”, when you are not even clear about what “I” is, how can you ‘be yourself’? Being limited by Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition), what can you seek from within? The more you seek within, the more obsessed you become.

 

Without listing more examples, the field of spiritual practice never lacks bewitching soup. If interested, you can take it as an exercise for Shi (Cognition)-developing essays and make analysis on them. “Breaking the Xiang (Manifestation)” is a basic skill for the Yiology learners.

 

Develop your Shi (Cognition) as much as possible so that you can see the truth behind the “truth”. Awaken ‘I’, only then will your life be yours. Give your life back to yourself, then the one living in the present is you.

Yiology is a means of practice of the information of Yi on the Earth.

Yi is not to make you believe, but to teach you how to question!
