The essence of all things is change, which is short-lived and empty. What you think is a real dream of life is actually just a dream of Nanke.

"Until you wake up and tell yourself, 'Yeah, it was a dream, I'm awake now'"

"It made me think, like a long VR experience, it's been too long, and you forget you're in a virtual environment. Suddenly a whole bunch of players start to realize, 'Wait a minute, I'm not sure that's...' We're like amnesia The psychic amphibian suddenly appeared here, and then gave itself an identity. This extended appendage is like a snorkel that stretches out to the surface, allowing people to submerge underwater for a period of time, understand?"

"Similarly, we come into the field and have this experience, but we start to think of ourselves as breathing tubes, and that's actually part of the experience."

This conversation is taken from episode 5 of Midnight Gospel, which is my personal favorite, and tells the story of a man locked up in a soul prison who experiences despair over and over again and then emerges from his cocoon.

We are indeed like players who choose to play a certain massively multiplayer online game. After putting on virtual reality glasses, we go deep into the experience. As a result, we gradually lose the mentality of our original " experience " in the experience, and become more and more serious, the more It became more and more painful, and even regarded the role played in the game as himself.

 "We want to continue to fight in the simulation world, like we want to recreate what happened, it's not enough that we just exist in this body and think we are the characters in the game, like we put on virtual reality glasses in Playing games, we want to wear another pair of VR glasses, not just that pair of glasses, but another, augmented reality, and more.”

"We went to great lengths not to take our glasses off."

"Why don't you want to take off your glasses? Because we don't want to feel that way."

"How do you feel?"

"I am who I am, right? The feeling of everything you do, those obsessions, just not feeling the pain inside you."

One of the most important steps in the process of "wake up" is to start to face the pain of escaping, so as to realize that everything you have experienced is just experience, and the real yourself is watching the screen to operate the character, watching the character grow slowly of our soul.

We must have all experienced the process of being addicted to playing the human role and wanting to add a new role to ourselves. This process is like putting on a new mask for ourselves, constantly "finding ourselves from the outside" , and then doing our best to play the role. The mask, the reality we choose, so that this "sense of self" exists.

 "The French call an orgasm a 'little death'. Death is actually a big orgasm, right? Give up the ego, which obviously doesn't exist; but the ego is clearly a burden, a source of pain."

Friends who are familiar with meditation are very familiar with this sense of self-disappearance. Meditation is like making a mental preparation for death, feeling that kind of nothingness, I exist and do not exist, I am me and I am not me, I can be all things.

We are looking for "self" in this game, but from the above summary, what is "me"?

If we are playing a game and dreaming, why do we keep looking for ourselves from the outside?

Personalities, thoughts, bodies, the various roles played... these are all created and pieced together by "I" playing this game.

So, what is "I"?

When we calm down and be alone with ourselves, that is, sit there quietly and feel the breath, "I" temporarily breaks away from the current role, to feel all things, to feel the soul, and to feel that life is there.

The "I" used to hate "me", but because I didn't realize that I was the master of the game, I didn't realize that the person I hated was me and not me, and everything I hated was just a part of "me" in this world, yes What "I" pieced together and created is like the setting of a game that can create characters according to one's own preferences. Since "I" is the character created by "I", there is no reason not to change or love .
