286, The Eye of God and Quantum Mechanics

286, Eye of God and Quantum Mechanics

The eyes can see a faraway place, not because some kind of sight is emitted from the eyes, but because the perception is more subtle and can accept and distinguish information farther away. In fact, the light and shadow information people receive is the same, but someone's soul is clear and deep, and he sees more in it than others. When exerting this magical power, there is no unnecessary touch.

Amon can do this, but the magical arts practiced by the magicians on the Tianshu Continent are not deliberately distinguished in this regard, because they can enhance perception and check what people cannot find, so they can use many means, as long as these means are useful to themselves. For example, using elemental disturbances, you can detect things that have not been found around you, just like you can't see a fish in muddy water. If you reach out and touch it, you can also find the existence of "fish".

As early as Amon was a teenager, he had just learned the water element magic technique with the old madman. He had never heard of the magic technique of detecting, so he used this method to discover the Ma Qi who secretly followed him into the black fire jungle to make a mistake. (Note: see Chapter 15 "Whose trap is this?") The higher his achievements, the more methods he mastered.

For example, if you use the magic of detecting to lock the target, the best way is to disturb the aura of the environment where the target is located, so that the target can always be found in a state of perception. As for whether this can be discovered by the other party, it only depends on whether the caster's methods are clever and how the other party's achievements are. In the concepts of many magicians, divine messengers and even gods in the Tianshu Continent, as long as the realm is higher than the detector, the means are better and they can not be discovered, it doesn't matter whether it disturbs the environment where the other party is located.

However, Vincent B pointed out that the distinct difference between seemingly identical means is that it touches or does not touch the observable object. No matter how clever the means are, whether the other party can detect it, as long as there is active interference, it will have an impact on the observation results.

Amon suddenly realized that Vincent Bu was talking about the difference between magical powers and miracles with him, and was implying that the play was being performed on the stage. Because Apollo brought down the oracle and said that the former king of Thebaidian city would be killed by his son, the former king abandoned his young son in order to get rid of the fate of the oracle. The oracle was prophesy, but the oracle brought down by Apollo also became the cause of Thebaidian's abandonment of the young son.

Later, the baby was lucky enough to die and was adopted by the king and his wife in another city-state. Oedipus heard Apollo's oracle again, saying that he would kill his father and marry his mother. The same is true. The oracle is both a prophecy and a reason that promotes everything. It is precisely because of this oracle that Oedipus ran away from home and came to Thebaid city-state.

Vincent Bu is actually explaining the meaning of the so-called oracle in the play. The gods are observing Oedipus and predicting his fate, but the oracle itself is both a cause and a result, forming part of this tragedy. What exactly caused the tragedy of Oedipus? There are both a god who pays attention to the human world and promotes it with prophecy, and people's struggles and choices interact with it.

Amon understood Vincent Bu's play on the stage, but he pulled the topic back to the means of perception, and asked in his soul: "Sometimes, the purpose of using detection methods is not to observe but to discover, and he does not care whether he will be discovered by the other party. The breath in a large-scale disturbance of the aura in the environment has always been the best way to break various stealth magical techniques to let the hidden person appear. You can't say that this method is useless, so how can you evaluate this touch?"

Vincentbe replied in his soul: "It depends- are you watching the show or acting?"

Amon couldn't help but smile knowingly. Vincent Bu answered very well, and in one sentence he revealed the most essential difference between the two seemingly unnecessary discernment. Vincent Bu's words also featured the information of magic, focusing on explaining a concept - "cause and effect".

When the god comes to the world, what kind of eyes does the gods pay attention to the world directly lead to whether the gods themselves are involved in the cause and effect of the world. What is "cause and effect"? It is to be in it! There is no difference between the means itself, and the only difference lies in whether the gods are involved. If the gods choose to participate, then in this matter, he is not the identity of the transcendent.

Vincent Bu's reason is very simple, but when it is carefully analyzed, it has a profound meaning. Amon nodded and smiled, "I understand what you mean. If the gods are in the cause and effect of the human world, they do not have to regard him as a god. Therefore, when some gods do certain things, they do not exist beyond things. At this time, God is also a human."

Vincentbu continued to watch the show and felt Amon's words in his heart. However, Amon's soul was touched and suddenly remembered another person - the fallen Faust.

In Faust's tragedy, Amon actually played a role similar to Apollo on the stage. But Amon had his own purpose, and he was in the process of participating in it himself. In fact, when he assassinated Emperor Sinach, he was also facing the risk of his fall. It cannot be said that he did right or wrong, but the difference between the gods entering and leaving the world.

Vincente in front of him was not as good as Amon in terms of realm achievements, but he started from another path of verification and gave Amon some kind of inspiration and collision in thinking.

Amon couldn't help but sigh: "In the myths of Tianshu Continent, there are gods who create human legends according to their own appearance. Therefore, some people believe that human nature contains divinity, and holy souls can bloom the light of divinity. But in fact, people create gods themselves, and only the statues of gods are in the temple; some people have proved the way of transcendence, and there will be gods in the eternity that is not born or destroyed. This is the human nature in divinity.

I have witnessed the wise and holy soul of the world. Although she has not transcended eternal life, she is already a god on earth. At this moment, people on the stage are interpreting the gods in their minds, and are actually thinking about the human nature contained in the divinity and themselves."

Vincentbe replied, "Good, good, thank you for your advice." It seems that Amon's words also made him gain something.

But Amon asked with a smile as if he was deliberately trying to find a problem: "I also thank you for your inspiration! But the difference in the methods you just mentioned is only aimed at ordinary mortals. In fact, the so-called supernatural powers that only observe but not touch are not without disturbances. According to my personal evidence, many of the inductions of great achievers are beyond ordinary people.

For example, when a great warrior looks at him with murderous eyes, even if he does not disturb any aura in his surroundings, his soul will also have a vigilant reaction. This is the agility of the great master, let alone the gods. Vincent, how can you justify yourself? What you call magical powers will also lead to consequences."

Vincent Bu did not have a clear answer to this question, but said respectfully: "I am not a great warrior. I have been detached from hearing the Dharma from the infinite light. I have no such experience. I would like to hear it in detail. Please give me some advice."

Amon smiled and said, "The guidance may not be necessary, it is just a confirmation between each other. Will the magical powers you mentioned cause the agile response of great achievers? It only depends on whether you have any thoughts in your heart."

Vincent Bu replied: "No movement and no distinction are all the seals of all dharmas. Wuliang Guang said, 'Things are the origin of thoughts', it turns out to be like this! Those who have heard that great achievements are also in harmony with their body and mind. If they become Arhats, they turns out to be like this! Good, good!"

Amon smiled and said, "I have never heard of any self-reliance. I only know that after the death of a great accomplished person, the soul can refuse the guidance of the underworld and make a vow to disperse or rebirth."

The two talked off the stage, and the drama on the stage continued. Oedipus met the human-faced Sphinx outside the city-state of Thebaid, and the banshee asked the puzzle "What is it, four feet in the morning, two feet in the afternoon, and three feet in the evening?"

Oedipus gave the answer - human! A baby who was just born can only crawl with his limbs, and when he grows up, he walks with his feet, and when he is old, he will use crutches again. The puzzle is solved, and the human face and spherical jumps off the cliff in shame and anger. Oedipus rescued the city-state of Thebaid and married the widow of the previous king to become the king.

Medanzo, who was watching the show, suddenly muttered: "The human-faced Sphinx and her puzzle. I have an impression that it is the myth of Eju, but the playwright here has compiled it into this story. I was just a little puzzled, is it a banshee or a psychopath? If the puzzle is broken, just leave. What a short opinion is it? I can't even stand this stimulation?"

Aesop made him amused and laughed: "This is just a symbol in the drama. People lose their lives because they cannot answer puzzles, and the banshee jumped off the cliff because the answer was revealed."

Medanzo explained: "I know what that means, but I still think the banshee is a lunatic. If I were asked to write this drama, I would never have written it like that!"

Aesop laughed out loud: "So you can't become a playwright, you are Medanzo. You clearly see what the play is writing, but you just feel uncomfortable, it has nothing to do with the playwright. Medanzo, you have to remember--you are you, and the banshee is a banshee."

Medanzo also smiled and said, "Yes, I understand what the playwright is saying. The oracle not only predicts the result but also promotes the tragedy. Oedipus is fighting and promoting the occurrence of the tragedy. But Aesop, can we discuss another possibility? In fact, it is very simple for the old king to fight against the oracle. I have a way to make Apollo's prophecy fail."

Aesop: "Oh, what's the solution?"

Medanzo: "If the old king is really so decisive and does not want the oracle to be fulfilled, he will wipe his neck and commit suicide! It is definitely not his turn to kill him again. I see how Apollo will jump around?"

Aesop grabbed Medanzo's arm and almost died. After a long time, he was angry and funny: "This is what you call confrontation. He thinks he is smart, but it is his confession and escape. It is meaningless to do so. Although he was not killed by his son as mentioned in the oracle, he still died because of the prophecy of "son killing his father" in the oracle."

Medanzo also scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Then let's change the way, and just ignore the oracle, what can I do?"

Aesop stopped smiling, narrowed his eyes and pondered, "This is still an unknown result. The oracle is just a prophecy, and it did not tell the old king how the prophecy would be fulfilled. It was the old king who made his own choice... Medanzo, you have a problem, a very serious problem! You should know that you are just a person watching the show, and the old king is not you, and he cannot fit your take for granted. You are only suitable for playing for others, not a suitable audience and commentator.

Why did Apollo bring down such an oracle in this play? Why did the old king abandon his young son? It was because the old king had robbed another king's son when he was young and was cursed by the gods. He abandoned his young son out of fear. If he really wanted to wipe his neck and commit suicide, he would have wiped his neck long ago. Is it your turn to talk about it?"

If someone else spoke to Medanzo this, Medanzo might be angry, but Aesop and him have been old friends for decades, and Medanzo just laughed.

Amon in the audience also heard the conversation between these two people and couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a ninth-level divine messenger, Medanzo's magic power was not inferior to others, but Amon knew very well that his disciple would probably be the last one among the disciples in the Garden of Eden who would be eternal. If he could be lucky.

The plays on the stage gradually reached its climax. Oedipus finally learned that the parents who raised him from childhood were not his biological parents, and the person he killed on the way was the former king of Thebai city-state and his biological father. After the truth was revealed, the queen committed suicide. Oedipus took two gold pins from the queen's body and blinded his eyes.

The actor on the stage shouted, "I didn't know who I was, but Apollo knew! Those who caused all this include the gods, they knew!"

While Oedipus was blinding his eyes, he also saw the answer. As the sentence on the wall of the Apollo Temple, he knew who he was. At this time, a man behind Amon sighed: "Where is the will of the gods? It does not transcend all things in this world, but is contained in it. Behind the so-called oracles and people's choices, there is an absolute spirit. The so-called gods are just a part of the changes in things, if they really exist."

Another young man next to him said, "Do you know? This play was written by my teacher!"

The emotion man said in surprise: "Oh? You are a student of Sophocles! What is your name?"

The young man replied, "My name is Shakespeare, where are you?"

The sentimentalist replied: "My name is Hegel. Since this drama is the work of your teacher, what do you think of it?"

Shakespeare thoughtfully said: "The teacher wrote a mythical story. Apollo's oracle runs through the whole process, and it constitutes the cause and ending at the same time. But it is a story on earth. The Apollo in the story doesn't matter whether it is a god or not. Hegel, you can also make such a prophecy, if the king in the story treats it as an oracle. Decide the root cause of all this happenings or human nature itself; the puzzle answered by Oedipus when facing the banshee is the answer given by the teacher."

Hegel asked with great interest: "You have studied drama with Mr. Sophocles. Do you have any works you want to write? What kind of myths are you interested in?"

Shakespeare: "I have been studying the myth of Eju recently and I want to write a play myself."

Hegel: "Is it a legend about the god Amon?"

Shakespeare shook his head and said, "No, it's a legend about Isis, Osiris, Seth, Horus."

Hegel: "How do you want to write, Horus's Revenge?"

Shakespeare shook his head and said, "No, when people tell myths, they often do not regard them as stories of gods. The gods in people's mouths are also revealing the origins of various human nature. They can happen in a human kingdom. Haven't we seen them before? - The king's younger brother murdered the king and usurped the throne, and the young prince finally discovered the truth and tried to revenge. Human nature determines the choices people will make, and the story will also have different ways of interpreting it."

Hegel smiled: "This play must be very exciting. I wish you to write it as soon as possible. I'm waiting to appreciate it! - According to what you said, the root cause of all these things, or human nature itself, determines the choices people will make. But we turn our eyes to the deeper starry sky. In fact, no matter what answers people think of, they are constantly pursuing an ultimate goal.

And those answers have actually existed for a long time, no matter whether you find them or not. The law of everything is the will to exist objectively, which determines the way all things in the world exist. The gods in people's minds are nothing more than this. The world is its existence itself. It depends on how much you can discover when you show it to people."

Shakespeare was stunned for a moment, and then said with interest: "Your thinking is very creative, even amazing and bold, reminding me of another student of the teacher, Freud. He may be looking for the same kind of things as you, but his research goal is human beings just like me. He believes that there is an internal instinctive driving force, which is the root of all human behaviors and the complex world can be explained from it."

Hegel frowned slightly: "Oh, is that Freud from the distant city of Salem? It turns out that he has also become a student of Sophocles. So did he explain where the inner driving force comes from? What laws do all the changes in the world that interact with him obey?"

Shakespeare smiled: "You can only talk to him clearly. He is also watching the show in the back row, and it just ends. Why not go to a pub and have a drink together."

Hegel nodded happily and said, "Okay, drink and chat!"

The drama ended, and Shakespeare and Hegel called Freud, who was watching the show in the back row, and went to have a drink together.

When Amon heard this conversation, he couldn't help but smile. Just like the question and answer he asked in the square of the Temple of Yalena the day before yesterday - people are questioning the gods, and they are also questioning the gods. They are questioning the existence of the gods, and at the same time they are thinking about their own existence.

After a moment of dazed moment, the crowd in the theater dispersed and Vincent Bu was gone. Amon Ben wanted to ask him to have a drink and have a good chat after the show ended. It seemed that he had to wait for tomorrow, Vincent Bu should be able to watch the show.
