「魄之為用,能動能作,痛癢由之。」中醫「肺藏魄」的「魄」主管的是肉體的本能、反射、生理感官(痛覺、觸覺、與初生嬰兒的吸吮),因此「魄」是更靠近物質身與乙太身的原始星芒身。「肝藏魂」的「魂」與精神層面的追尋、夢境、潛意識、計劃與靈感有關,因此中醫的「魂」是正在等待自我轉化的星芒身。而「魂隨神往來」,所有的神智與情感,最終都需要透過「心」來感知和表現。中醫的「神」對應「自我」,且心神必須依賴「心血、心陰」作為物質載體,才能神安其位。 “The operational nature of Po (the Corporeal Soul) manifests in our capacity for movement and action; through it, all sensations of pain and itch arise.” In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Po, housed within the Lungs, governs bodily instincts, reflexes, and foundational sensory perceptions—such as the registry of pain, touch, and the primal suckling reflex of a newborn. It can therefore be understood as the primordial Astral body, residing in closest proximity to the Physical and Etheric bodies. The Hun (the Spiritual Soul) housed within the Liver is entwined with spiritual quests, dreams, the subconscious, foresight, and creative inspiration; thus, the Hun represents the Astral body awaiting transformation by the Ego. Yet, as the classic maxim dictates, “the Hun...
他們以苦難為磚瓦,為自己搭建了一座避風的木屋。卻忘了醫生只能幫忙修補屋頂的破洞,而迷失的靈魂終究得學會重新住進這座屋子裡。 They have built a cosy home out of their own suffering, forgetting that the doctor can only patch the roof, while the soul must learn to live in the house again. ༗ ⋆꙳ ⟢𒄬⋆ ⁎⊹ 人到了退休年齡(大約 63 歲之後),身體的物理特性和具有規律性的生理活動會自然走向僵硬、收縮(正常的生理老化)。而想要健康老去,人必須從精神與心靈層面長出新的創造力,來接替逐漸衰退的身體生命力。 很多老年失眠的患者,生活沒有目標,什麼都不想做。這些患者退休後,失去了外在社會(工作、賺錢)給予的被動目標,內在自我又沒有主動長出靈性的、精神追求的動機,導致自我組織力弱化,陷入麻木。 Once we hit the grand old age of sixty-three, the warranty on our physical plumbing expires. The body, quite naturally, enters a phase of bureaucratic stubbornness—getting stiffer, shrinking slightly, and generally refusing to cooperate. To age with any semblance of dignity, one must counter this physical strike by staging a spiritual revolution. When the flesh begins to retire, the mind must be re-hired as the chief creative officer. This is precisely where the modern insomniac stumbles. Retirement cures them of the routine they hated, only to leave them w...
