How can we cultivate our guts and face emergencies? How can we overcome psychological symptoms?
These things require a high level of connection which enable you to face any situation. When this happens, you will naturally have vitality because you can overcome yourself. Lao tse said we need to be strong like water. This requires us first to have emptiness.
When facing emergencies, we can either use li or not use it. li is like the force used by foreign diplomats and military leaders. non-li is being like water. If you don't just observe a situation, then can have higher connection and some wisdom.
Having guts means you are overcoming yourself, so you become more patient. Overcoming psychological symptoms means you don't think about things all the time. When you think about things all the time, you are attracting external stimuli to yourself. If you slow down your mind, then there are no distractions for you. When you don't think, everything comes to a roaring stop. When you think, then you are not at the standard.
