Chapter 77 Breaking the Cognitive Barrier
"call!"

When Pei Wende opened his eyes again, he only felt that everything in his eyes was different.

The mountains are still mountains, and the water is still water, but there seems to be something different from my own cognition between the mountains and rivers.

That is qi, the vitality of heaven and earth, the law of interaction between all things, and the biggest difference between mortals and practitioners.

"This is the so-called sky eye? Yin-yang eye?"

Apart from the change in vision, what Pei Wende felt the most was that his memory and understanding had been almost qualitatively improved.

It is different from the "temporary" memory improvement that was only available when chanting sutras before.

After Pei Wende successfully cultivated Wuxin Concentration, he was able to clearly remember every bit of his memory, and he even remembered clearly what he was doing at this time a month ago.

Along with memory, Pei Wende's comprehension also improved.

Or in Pei Wende's understanding, it seems that it should be called inspiration and empathy.

In the past, he had to think hard to understand the problems. Now Pei Wende only needs to turn his mind a little bit to realize that he has walked into a dead end of thinking, and then change the direction of thinking.

"Thinking has no form, the heart of a child, breaks through obstacles, and enlightens enlightenment."

The difference between children and adults in learning is not only memory, but also thinking patterns and acceptance of new things.

The reason why it is easier for young children to learn all kinds of knowledge than adults is because they are a piece of pure white paper and can accept all kinds of new things with a pure heart.

Adults, on the other hand, are quite the opposite. Due to the three views and education they have received over the years, they always habitually explain unknown things in a way they already know.

In Buddhist terminology, this kind of being bound by one's own experience and knowledge, trying to explain everything with one's own knowledge is called "cognitive impairment".

Breaking this stereotype of thinking and regaining the innocence of childhood is a process that every "wisdom" person must go through.

Only those who break through barriers, are not bound by their own cognitive methods, and accept new things are truly "enlightened".

Undoubtedly, the current Pei Wende is not truly "enlightened", at best he can only be regarded as a mortal who understands what is considered "enlightened".

Only when Wen Wende breaks the "cognitive barrier" of his previous life and can absorb and accept new knowledge like a real child, can he be regarded as enlightened.

You can use the logic of the previous life to analyze and understand the unknown things you encounter in this life, but you must not be limited by the cognition and common sense of the previous life.

"When facing unknown scientific exploration, we must always be in awe."

Inadvertently grinning the corner of his mouth, Pei Wende habitually remembered his past life.

He feels that in his current state, he should have initially reached the "innocent heart" pursued by countless wise men and sages, right?
That is to say, you must maintain your own thinking and logic like an adult, and you must be good at accepting new things like a child.

Pei Wende has no doubts that if he can have this state in his previous life, it will not be difficult to become a master pioneer in a certain field.

"Those famous scientists and thinkers in history should be such people?"

Sighing with emotion, Wen Wende found that it was much more difficult than he imagined to maintain this state of "childlike heart".

People are always lazy.

Just like Pei Wende once saw beggars begging on the subway or on the street during a certain period of time in his previous life.

I always habitually put labels such as "liar" and "a monthly income of more than [-] yuan" on the other party, and rarely consider whether the other party is a real beggar.

This is the simplest "cognitive impairment".

What Pei Wende has to do now is not to label any familiar things, but to look at them from the purest essence and logic.

Just like a newborn child.

When they see people in rags, they will only instinctively sympathize with or fear them, instead of habitually labeling them as beggars, liars, or lunatics.

As for what kind of behavior these children will do when they see poor people, it depends on the education they have received.

"Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, this should be the curriculum of the junior and senior high school in the previous life?"

Pei Wende never dreamed that after rebirth, he would have to review the politics and philosophy lessons of his previous life.

Normally speaking, as a successful traveler, isn't it normal to recall the gunpowder and papermaking skills of the previous life?
No matter how good it is, singing and dancing, food, Tang poetry and Song poetry, or even Das Kapital?

"I always feel that my style of painting as a 'time traveler' is not quite right."

To complain so much, Wen Wende himself knew it in his heart.

Those physics, chemistry, poetry and songs in the previous life are useful, but the real "dragon slaying skills" have to be the political content that I am recalling now.

After all, the world will change and the rules will change. Only the "method" of discovering the laws of these changes will not change.

Especially when Wen Wende is trying to enter a completely strange world, the "truth" rooted in the surface is what he must grasp.

In fact, as a practitioner who has just glimpsed the way, what Pei Wende thinks now has greatly exceeded Zen Master Lingyou's expectations.

Zen Master Lingyou probably never dreamed that after Pei Wende cultivated Wuxin Concentration and broke his cognitive barriers, he would truly understand the "dragon slaying skill" he had learned in his previous life.

Compared with simply improving one's comprehension, a "potential master" with the qualifications to establish a sect is truly commendable.

The former only speeds up the speed at which practitioners learn knowledge.

The latter can break the rules and become a master in his own field with a posture that the world cannot understand.

To be able to associate the essence of "methodology" from breaking the "cognitive barrier" is something that only Pei Wende, who is a "time traveler", can do.

However, as emphasized in the previous article - easier said than done.

The truth can be explained clearly, but the action still has to be realized step by step.

Today's Pei Wende only has the potential to establish a school, but his accumulation of knowledge in any aspect cannot support him to truly become a master in a certain field.

"Old monk, I finally understand why it took so long for our lineage to get started."

Still sitting cross-legged under the waterfall, letting the water flow against his body, Pei Wende felt that his mind had been completely relaxed.

"Knowledge is easier than practice, it is an eternal truth."

"But knowing the direction and road ahead is much better than groping in the dark."

This is breaking the cognitive barrier - spiritual transformation!
