Chapter 32: Making Not Being Affected The Normal State
“Alright, you do your thing. I can’t unite with you; we’re not the same kind of people.”
“I’m just telling you reality. Reality is everything. How can living well together be more important than cultivating the heart!”
“Heh, then you live well. Don’t try to force a conversation with me.”
I thought that after saying “don’t talk” so many times, it would be over.
He continued, “Remember, I only have good intentions, no bad ones.”
After hearing this, my buddy really wanted to unleash Buddha’s wrath and subdue demons, and directly retorted;
“You still don’t call that bad intentions? You’ve been rambling about unity for ages, and in the end, you want to sell other people things. You don’t even call that bad? This isn’t even just bad, it’s evil. From your perspective, you keep talking about unity, but your purpose is to sell things to others to make money. And you still call yourself well-intentioned?”
Hearing me speak of his essence, he directly said my understanding was not deep enough.
“Your understanding is not deep enough yet. You’ll know when you cultivate more. It’s the greatest evil for people not to unite.”
“You call this unity???”
“This is a matter of survival. Only through unity can we survive.”
“Buddy, let me say something unpleasant, can you stop forcing this conversation? This isn’t unity, isn’t this purely selfish? Are you exploiting them? And you’re even talking about unity for better survival. You’re even bringing up unity for survival in pyramid schemes, I’m speechless.”
“Isn’t it? I don’t have bad intentions, really. I’ve already taken seven disciples. The oldest is fifty-three, and I haven’t taken any money from them yet. If you don’t believe me, I’ll pull you into the group, and you can ask them.”
Seeing him want to pull me into his group, I quickly stopped him, “Whoa! Don’t pull me in! I don’t need to know. You just do your thing.”
“Aren’t what I’m saying correct? I earn money from them, and then I also help them make money. I earn money from the people around me, and then I teach them how to make money. I have to live too, right? I’m not a god. I have to eat and drink. You call this exploitation, but buddhas and immortals also exploit. The whole world is exploiting.”
“Big Brother! Buddhas and immortals don’t eat, okay? It’s people who eat!”
“We’re all people. Remember that. You’ve probably watched Journey to the West too much.”
Oh dear, hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! Talking to him has made me laugh so much. I even suspect if those seven disciples he took were the seven dwarves from Snow White. He managed to fool people over fifty years old completely with such despicable means, using unity as an excuse. Truly speechless.
I really don’t want to talk to him anymore. I don’t want to argue with him anymore, hahaha.
“Alright, go do your thing. The Buddha you believe in is not the same as the Buddha I believe in.”
“Isn’t it? Isn’t Buddha just a person? He needs a legacy, and he needs to eat.”
“Oh my god, if you don’t understand, go ask at a temple. Buddha is an adjective, not a person.”
“Is that so? Well, Buddha still needs to eat. If you don’t eat or drink, what will you become?”
…
“I’m going to block you. I can’t help it, my stomach hurts from laughing.”
“Block me immediately. You will understand!”
…
…
Normally, when I encounter this type of person, my first reflex is not to pay attention to them.
But I deliberately talked to him. The reason is that talking to such people usually makes others incredibly angry.
I used him to test my self-control and to train my ability to constantly perceive thoughts, to cultivate the heart without being moved and without getting angry.
However, if you all encounter this type of person, you must stay away and don’t pay attention.
Don’t be troubled or irritated, otherwise you will be affected by his low-frequency energy.
If you lose control and pay attention, don’t get trapped in it, meaning don’t enter appearance. In other words, don’t overthink and get emotional.
This is also a process of training and cultivation.
Without self-attachment, you won’t get entangled with this kind of stranger’s negative energy. I’m not talking about entanglement in conversation.
Rather, it’s about the mind not being entangled, not being affected by his words and showing various emotions.
When he was talking about gods and buddhas, I did feel a bit of anger and unhappiness in my heart.
But after constantly perceiving it, I calmed down, like playing, and didn’t take it seriously.
Otherwise, I would have been extremely angry. I hope everyone pays close attention.
If you cannot block low-frequency energy from your mind, you can directly choose to ignore it. If you feel you are capable and have cultivated well, you can try to see if you are affected. If you are affected, your cultivation is not enough, continue practicing.
When nothing can affect you anymore, you will have a certain concentration. I’m talking about continuing to cultivate even after breaking illusions.
Because after breaking illusions, you still need to continue cultivating, so that not being affected becomes the normal state.
In other words, while you know that your thoughts are false, you also need to understand that others’ thoughts are also false and should not be taken seriously.
He is like you before you awakened. What he says and thinks still revolves around himself. Even if he speaks with great righteousness about unity and survival, the ultimate goal is to acquire from you.
Taking this example, if I were ignorant, if I were confused, and he told me about unity and making money, I would definitely be harvested by him.
But I don’t seek anything. I don’t seek the unity and money he talks about, so he can’t harvest me.
However, it’s quite pitiful that those seven dwarves, the oldest being over fifty, were actually brainwashed.
This kind of thing is everywhere in life. They tell you how to be good, teach you how to make money, etc. The ultimate goal is to take your money and harvest you.
You must remember this. As long as you keep your mind straight, don’t seek from others or externally, then you will be able to recognize these people.
All cultivation speaks of one thing: seeking within, seeking from your own inner heart.
If you seek externally, you will surely be disturbed in your mind by these demons and monsters wearing human skin.
In this era, most people are deceived precisely because they want to gain something from others. For example, seeking him to teach you to make money, seeking him to guide your cultivation, seeking his future help with something.
Precisely because you seek something, you lose something.
Think about it, if a stranger was really making a lot of money, would he come and teach you how to make it for no reason?
He wouldn’t even teach his own family, yet he comes to tell you how good it is to learn from him and how much money you can make. Do you believe this?
If you yourself are very good at making money, you’re too busy to care about strangers making money, right? Do you understand now?
In the end, you’re just spending the money in your own pocket.
To put it bluntly, if he could make that much money, wouldn’t he have become a certain richest person long ago? Why would he need to deceive a stranger like you?
Don’t always hold onto a mentality of luck. Lottery tickets have been sold for so many years. Some people have bought them for ten or twenty years. If there was such good fortune, wouldn’t people buying lottery tickets have won long ago?
Out of over a billion people, are you that special? Someone finds you for no reason and tells you how to make money?
You might as well try to collect all seven Dragon Balls in the human world. Once you summon the divine dragon, it can grant your wishes.
If you place your hope in others, who will get hurt if not you? Who will be deceived if not you?
If you don’t believe in yourself, and foolishly believe this person or that, are you foolish or is someone else foolish?
Read more books and study. Reading books can give you opportunities for thought and improvement, giving you opportunities to break through your cognition.
Wealth is compensation for cognition, compensation for one’s self-confidence, not compensation for being deceived and blaming heaven and others!!!
