The Primordial True Nature Hidden in All Living Beings
The world is full of man‑made names and labels. We tend to mistake these descriptive terms for the real essence of things. Names are only acquired afterwards; they can never completely capture the inner truth of existence.
The human body is far more than flesh and blood. From the viewpoint of Life Topology, a human being is a multi‑layered, nested multi‑dimensional living entity. All things in heaven and earth originate from the subtle energy of the primordial non‑polar source. Gradually, they settle down and solidify step‑by‑step into tangible forms we can perceive.
We may sort the layers of a living human from the coarse surface inward toward the most subtle origin.
The outermost layer is our physical body: skin, muscle and bone. This part exists in a relatively solid, crystallized state. Beneath the outer shell lies the circulation of qi and body fluid, which keeps flowing and transforming. Deeper still is the underlying filament‑like force‑web system, the fundamental substrate of life. At the innermost core rests our non‑polar primordial source.
Sinking and solidification is the natural downward tendency for living beings. As time passes, those fine filament‑like networks inside us become tangled. Our bodily lattice gradually stiffens. This internal stiffening and entanglement is exactly what causes life to sink, to age, and to become trapped.
The general direction of this falling process follows a fixed sequence: from the fluid primordial subtle substance, condensing into filaments; filaments then congeal into qi and essence; and finally harden into the solid flesh‑bone crystallized form.
This downward consolidation does not happen only on the physical level. Our thoughts, emotions and mental patterns will also harden synchronously. Unconsciously, ordinary human beings keep travelling along this road of sinking. Every year, every generation adds new layers of rigid fixation. Our primordial bright true‑nature does not disappear completely. It is merely covered and concealed beneath layer after layer of accumulated solidified structures.
Many people search outside themselves for some special power or sacred gift. Yet the innate primordial true‑nature has never been lost. It already exists within every living being. It was there from the beginning of our life journey.
What we face is not a mission to obtain something we never had. Instead, our task is to undo the knots which have slowly built up across generations. We need to melt those rigid, crystallized parts, and gradually unveil the original brightness hidden deep inside.
The barrier between us and our origin is all of this accumulated solidification. Before we can set foot on the retrograde road back, we first need to acknowledge this layered structure of life, and recognize how sinking and entanglement take place inside our own existence.
