Information Surplus era: life like disunity

Now, how long are people patient? 140 Words a micro bo length.

Watch TV at dinner, on the bus with a mobile phone on Weibo, guilt toilet also do not forget to aim at ... The information is so great that it's so easy to get a message that people develop a bad habit: they don't have the patience to read a full page of the manuscript.

The era of information fragmentation means that people can understand the mass of information anytime and anywhere through the network media, and most of the information, such as passing through, is worthless, so it is also called "Information surplus Era". As early as 1971 economist Herbert Simon (Herbert A. Simon) made the best diagnosis of "attention deficit" in modern people: the information consumed was the recipient's attention. Thus, the gathering of information necessarily implies a lack of attention.

Indeed, modern people's thinking and emotions are increasingly roaming state, unable to focus, this "pupil" phenomenon makes life become disunity, seriously affecting the quality of life.

Integration exercise: Pain relievers in an age of information overload

How to get out of the fragmented, scattered sand life? The answer is: integration. "Integration exercises are painkillers in an age of information overload. ”

"Life is like exercise: Ken Wilbur integration Practice," a book, "The field of consciousness Einstein," said Ken Wilbur "Integration theory" practice, concrete, so that more people along the physical ladder to embark on their own integration journey.

"Scattered information is worthless, and information is only meaningful if it is linked to a macro approach." Before we see a larger integration model, scattered information is like piles of meaningless idle goods. The integrated perspective reveals how the seemingly irrelevant fragments of experience form the whole, how all-encompassing, how to simplify life is not too simple, and make room for things. ”

Integrated Living Practice (Integral Life Practice), referred to as ILP, is an effective solution to the fragmentation of life, and it provides an effective way to get into a higher state of consciousness. In this way you "do the exercises", and at some point, the practice begins to "change you." As Livo singer Aidy Kovarcski said: "From the moment I began my integrated life practice, my life seemed to have a new track, and the lessons in life came from the depths of the soul Cab." After starting the practice, my days are a glory and then a glory. ”

We have "3 bodies"

I personally have been reading Ken Wilbur's book, also regarded as his own spiritual mentor. It is good to see "life is like practice" this "grounding gas" practice manual, can let more people become "integration of life" practitioners. In Reading, the most impressive is about the "3 body" "Four limited image" theory.

In the general view, the body refers to our physical body, and this book presents an "expansionary" Conclusion: we have 3 bodies, namely the heavy body, the subtle body and the causal body. They correspond to 3 states: waking, dreaming and deep sleep. Complete health requires a workout in these 3 bodies. Strength exercises are often directed at heavy bodies, such as yoga and Qigong, which are aimed at subtle bodies, while meditation is directed at the causal body.

"Integrated Living Practice" is the three-pronged, help us consciously exercise body and mind three aspects.

Remember once, with friends to talk about the breath of yoga, she said impatiently: "People live enough annoying, even breathing to practice, how tired ah!" I said: "Breathing seems ordinary, in fact, there is a great learning." ”

"The way of breathing greatly affects health, consciousness and well-being. Conscious breathing is the most important exercise in health. Breathing and feeling, awareness are inextricably linked. If you can use your breath to spread the sensation of your heart through your body, you can inspire the vitality of every aspect of your life from your toes to your head! ”

Focusing on breathing is actually living in the present. So, "Let us breathe with deep affection!" Meditation can generate higher ideologies and structures of consciousness. ”

Existence contains "four elephant limit"

Ken Wilbur's "Four-elephant Limit" theory is the basis of integrated life practice.

"Four-elephant limit" means that all existence has four faces: the individual within (such as thoughts, feelings, intentions and mental state), the collective inner (relationship, culture, meaning shared with others), the individual external (such as the body, the behavior), the collective external (such as the environment, social structure and system). They also correspond to four different perspectives in your current consciousness: me, us, it and them. They are: Ego Center, Race Center, World Center and Cosmic Center. Based on the theory of "four elephant limit", everything can be observed, understood and analyzed from these four angles.

In terms of work, health, or intimacy, which limit do you care more about? Me, us, it or them? "Conscious attention to the harmonious development of the four quadrants can develop higher consciousness and compassion." This is the main function of integrating the life link. ”

such as-law relationship, if you only care about your feelings, without taking into account the feelings of the mother-in-law, and your husband's reaction, your small family and everyone (husband and wife home) of the interests of the relationship, then it is difficult to really deal with family relations.

"We have to go through a series of stages to build the structure of consciousness, so that you can easily experience a variety of ideologies." Learn more about the idea. Each view is both real and one-sided, and your own point of view is no exception. Therefore, try not to defend your point of view, instead, you should be more curious and open to the new perspective. ”

Four Elephant limit = 360 degrees of life

Our life is within 360 degrees of space, showing four of the elephant limit, and due to our understanding of the limitations, usually "trees, trees." We often look at problems in my view and in our opinion, and seldom stand in the position to analyze the problem.

One line of Zen Master said: We know that "flower" is purely a "non-flower" factor, such as sunlight, soil, water, time and space constitute. All things in the universe work together, leading to the existence of a flower. These infinite conditions are what we call "non-flower Factors". By "Flower Non-flower" We push the show: I am not me. That "I" is made up of "non-Me" factors. In order to take good care of ourselves, we must take care of the people around us, their happiness and well-being is our happiness and well-being.

Indeed, by focusing on four main points of view, we can achieve a more balanced and wiser life. Integrated life practice is not to divide life into four or 4,000 pieces, the basis is to perceive the integrity and uniqueness of life, that is, "integration."

"When you understand how you are involved in the myriad of intertwined systems in the world, you have a sense of relevance. This way you can train yourself into higher ideologies and make them part of your daily routine. Break the general habit of focusing solely on physical experiences, narrow thoughts and emotions. ”

"Whenever you can think, feel, and act in an integrated way, it gives you a sense of wholeness or completeness, as if nothing important is missing." ”

Of course, integrated life practice is not an overnight move, but a "gradual path", which will have a ripple effect, that is, through training on a module in the field of life, it will increase the efficiency of other modules in all fields.

Now ask yourself: Am I living a 90-degree life? 180 degrees of life? Or is it a 270-degree life? Whichever it is, the best thing is to start! Please use this book to bring the most intelligent and effective exercises into your life.

As the saying goes: reorganize the mountains to be epigenetic. Only a sense of integration can bring about a new 360-degree life. The real challenge is to develop consciousness from self-centred to racial centers, to the center of the world, to the center of the universe, and to the higher levels.
