    能看之性能為眼根 能聽之性能為耳根 能嘗味能表達之性能為舌根 能聞能呼吸之性能為鼻根 能感受和運用物質身體之性能為身根 能感知和運用思想之性能為意根 六根不是身體之器官（眼耳鼻舌身腦），而是生命之性能。 當六根接觸六塵（色聲香味觸法）時，覺者透過根匯入實相；而凡夫則馬上啟動識性，送到大腦做註冊歸類分析推理更生儲存。 識性是線性的(linear), 而根性則是全方位(360°non-linear). 識性只有過去記憶，未來推理，缺乏對當下之覺知（塵境一來馬上轉入識性輪轉），並束縛於慣常之思路與意識形態；而根性則能專注當下，全方位的感受生命，並能活潑的運用六根去投入生活，活出生活，並邁向未知。 人困惑痛苦之根源為無明，而無明之根本就是以為自己是識性。識性越發達，無明通常越強大，越難感受識性之下之內之根性和生命，以至大部分時間都在顛倒妄想，無明流轉。 故修行人第一個大關卡為識性，要學習捨識用根，穩定生命於六根，而不是識性。 能量水平965

    “Not-doing” leads to passiveness, detachment, egocentric giving up of, and flatness in life; whereas “Non-doing” allows active, free, vibrant participation, and manifestation of life, beyond the egoic self. Such is the essence of Chinese non-duality, as described in Taoist and Buddhism classics.

    法身，為法界本體身，它周遍含容，無邊無量，離形融相，為萬物（包括人）之源頭，和其持續變化之動力與可能。 明心見性者，找到了這本體法身，體悟到這無常身心世界之背後，是這不生不滅，不一不二之永恆法身。故短暫身心衍生出來的對立顛倒與煩惱，不再顯得那麼緊迫和苦惱。肉體的無常變化，生滅往來，就像浩瀚花園裡的微細鳥蟲般渺小和虛幻。由小的個人身心悟到大的無量法身，故名法身大士。 覺悟法身大士後，還有後續功夫。先要做到自身之穩定（十住），再實行到生活點滴中（十行），繼之擴大心量至所有時空（十迴向）。到達個人層面的圓滿後，下一步是在出離心中協助其他眾生達到同樣的圓滿（十地）。直至到達無眾生可度之等覺妙覺位（離我人眾生壽者相），為成佛，涅槃，無上正等正覺。 真理水平999

    When the ego is transcended, mental notion of time disappears. What left then, is the unseen propensities and intentions come into manifestations, when conditions are right. In such state, timing is always perfect, universally fair, and just. Level of truth 950 我相超越後, 心理的時間概念就會消失. 剩下來的, 是我相習性隨因緣和合的顯現和消散, 與無盡生命之開展和顯現. 在這狀態中, 時機會捕捉的剛剛好, 世界是永恆的公平, 與平等. 真理水平950
