On the question of whether "spell" can relieve human disasters and difficulties, according to the viewpoint of materialist dialectics, "spell" can relieve some disasters and difficulties besides its material part, which is not the spell of exorcist as generally understood, but the universal card to avoid death. About the scientific nature (i.e. materiality) of the "spell", here is a brief introduction to help you understand:
As for "happiness", from the materialist point of view, it plays a certain role in changing people's destiny. Because "happiness" not only has a suggestive effect on people's psychological consciousness and behavior, but also indirectly affects people's fate. More importantly, the material factors of "happiness" itself are at work. This point, we look at the production materials of "Fu" and suddenly understand. The materials used to make the "symbol" are: 1. Yellow mounting paper: paper is made of special straw (the kind used to produce millet), not the existing paper such as wheat straw, wood and bamboo. Cereal grass itself is a traditional Chinese medicine, and taking bladder meridian has anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects. 2. Curcuma longa: the original pigment of toilet paper dyeing, not the current chemical dye. Turmeric is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, diminishing inflammation and diuresis. For example, the skin has boils, redness and swelling, and the yellow paper stained with turmeric (not coated) is attached to the affected area, and the swelling will be reduced in one day. 3. Bletilla striata: When writing Fu, vermilion should be put into the study of Bletilla striata. Because Bletilla striata is sticky, it is not easy to fall off when written on paper. Bletilla striata is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and taking the lung meridian has the function of tonifying the lung. 4. Cinnabar: It is a red pigment for painting "Fu". Cinnabar is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of calming the heart and calming the nerves, eliminating evil and calming the nerves. 5. Drug introduction: Fu has four kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, plus 1 or two kinds of drugs, which is a complete prescription. If it's stomach trouble, use dried tangerine peel as a drug guide. If you have any disease, just add a drug introduction blindly or add it several times.
From the anatomy of "Fu", I believe you have understood that the real reason why "Fu" can change people's destiny is its materiality, not that "Fu" can exorcise ghosts and be used by people.
As for the "amulet" worn on the body, it also has the material effect similar to the traditional Chinese medicine therapy such as "magic vitality bag", "fragrant bag" and "infantile umbilical paste", and also has a powerful psychological induction function.
As for the "mantra", from the perspective of dialectical materialism, it also plays a certain role in eliminating disasters and taking refuge for people, because people are material and people's consciousness has a certain reaction to material people. "Magic" indirectly has a certain effect on the human body by regulating people's psychological consciousness and behavior. Healing diseases (changing people's fate) through "magic",
The most obvious curative effect is those mental patients. Through analysis, we can see that the so-called "mantra" is actually a kind of "suggestive language". This kind of "suggestive language" can affect people's conscious behavior, which is influenced by "incantations". Through people's conscious behavior, people's body functions will be affected to varying degrees, and changes in body functions will affect changes in people's destiny. Regarding "incantation", I will give you a simple example of "self-preservation incantation" to help you understand the secret of "incantation". Its spell content is as follows:
"Heaven protects the body, the earth protects the body, the year protects the body, the moon protects the body, the sun protects the body, the time protects the body, the twelve protects the body, Sakyamuni Buddha is in front of the heart, Li Laojun is behind the heart, the goddess Nanding is in the left arm, Guanyin is entrusted to the right arm, and the daring demons approach me, and the five thunderbolts turn into dust, which is embarrassing!"
It can be seen from this protection curse that the so-called "curse" is actually some "suggestive language", and there will never be so many immortals following people's orders to escort people.
Of course, we don't completely deny the mystery that the "curse" may have some special function, but it should be a better choice to know the world objectively and rationally.
From the above analysis, we can see that "magic" helps to change people's destiny to a certain extent, but its degree of changing people's destiny is very limited and incomplete, which is essentially different from "environmental feng shui" that can fundamentally change people's destiny.
1998 during the flood of the Yangtze River, the most fundamental method for flood fighting and emergency rescue is to change the structural form of the Yangtze River levee with a large amount of earth, sand, stone and other materials (that is, it is similar to adjusting the geomantic environment), and it is by no means possible to solve the flood of the Yangtze River by sticking a few "charms" and saying a few "spells". Therefore, the most essential way to change people's fate is to change people's "Feng Shui environment".
