实证是让潜意识发挥作用
Realization Practice Relies on the Functioning of the Subconscious Mind
实证的重点是靠潜意识作用的，潜意识有一个特征就是不辨真假，潜意识靠直觉的、不能使用判断的。只有在现在这个状态是可以使用判断、推理的，潜意识是靠直觉行事的。
The essence of realization practice (shizheng) lies in the functioning of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind possesses a key characteristic: it does not distinguish between true and false, and operates solely through intuition and cannot employ judgment. Only in the present state of consciousness can judgment and reasoning be employed; while the subconscious mind acts based on intuition.
因此如果你对实证的理论不了解，也就是说没有正知正见，那么你错误的观念将会在潜意识中表现出来，对实证方面会造成不好的影响，就是咱们说过的一句话:“快步如飞的误入歧途”。
因此，实证不能入门，倒不是一件坏事，它至少说明一点，在理论上可能还有哪些地方不熟悉，然后需要做的就是，先解决理论的问题，要做到具足正知正见、要对理论非常的透彻。也就是说，实证哪些方面不能突破，原因在哪里，能够分析的到，只有这样才能够具备正知正见、才能够让潜意识真正发挥作用，才不至于在实证中出现问题。
Therefore, failing to enter the gateway of meditative realization is not necessarily a bad thing. It at least indicates that there may be areas in theory that you are not yet familiar with. What needs to be done then is to first resolve the theoretical issues. You must attain right knowledge and right view and achieve a thorough grasp of the theory. In other words, you must be able to analyze precisely where you cannot achieve breakthroughs in realization practice and why. Only then can you attain right knowledge and right view. Only then can you activate the subconscious authentically. And only then can you avoid encountering problems during your realization practice.
