Chapter 150: Controlling Thoughts Is King
Boys sometimes feel heartache when they see children suffering from depression and anxiety; these children can see the suffering that ordinary people cannot control.
Children are troubled by this symptom for a long time, inexplicably and uncontrollably. They either endure it by taking medicine or start to become indifferent.
In this state, both body and soul are confronting him, not obeying him, inexplicably bursting into emotions of great joy and great sadness, etc. His heart is filled with loneliness and fear.
Some families thought their children were afflicted with a demonic illness, and sought help from this master or that master to perform rituals and seek talismans, but it was useless.
Because those are external methods~! We have internal methods, that is, mind methods~!
“Beat it for me~! It’s nothing~! You are the master~! If you defeat it, you will be strong~!”
Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Elements’ mutual restraint method is written as follows:
Joy overcomes sadness?, sadness overcomes anger?, fear overcomes joy?, anger overcomes contemplation?, contemplation overcomes fear?.
In fact, it’s not that complicated at all. Encounter anything and think of happy things to stop that emotion.
If you don’t know how, imagine a sword or something in your mind. Imagine sadness as the two words “sadness” and then cut it down. The same applies when other emotions arise: cut down irritation, cut down fear, cut down anger, and so on.
One thought can overcome ten thousand thoughts. No matter how much it changes, you break it with a single thought~! If it counterattacks you, just endure it. After a few times, it will behave. Tell yourself, I am the master of myself, why should I let you manipulate me? I’ll cut your head off if you mess with me! Break it as if playing a game.
Don’t be afraid, I’m behind you, what is there to be afraid of~! I am the Sect Master of the Wuji Sword Sect, specializing in countering all spiritual beings. Anyone under heaven or on earth who dares to bully my people, damn it, I will cut them down~!
If gods and Buddhas come to your dreams and teach you compassion and to be good, then accept them with joy and gratitude. If they threaten you to do evil, then cut them down for me~! This guy is definitely a fake, hahaha, the real ones are like biological parents, they teach you to be good with compassion no matter what you do wrong, they won’t harshly scare you into doing evil.
These are all methods to counter-control oneself.
If you still feel afraid, here’s a mantra. Recite it ten to twenty times a day: “I eat ghosts, I eat ghosts, I eat ghosts…” After half a month, ask yourself if you’re afraid of ghosts. You’ll laugh your way to riches.
What is there to be afraid of~! People of the Wuji Sword Sect are upright and fearless~! Love family, love country, love all sentient beings~! For this, even the Heavenly Emperor himself comes, I will still fight him~!
If you can’t beat it, in your thoughts, throw large feces at it and shout loudly: “Fire in the hole~!”
If I can’t beat these little demons and monsters to death, cough cough cough, how dare they disturb my mind.
Don’t you know who this Buddha is? I, an old Daoist, have been acting chivalrously and righteously for so many years, how could I possibly be lacking for you?
What? Am I Buddhist or Daoist? I’m from the Wuji Sword Sect, I don’t distinguish between sects. Whatever move can beat you, I’ll use it. Anyway, I am the number one under heaven, who cares which sect I’m from? I haven’t eaten your rice! Hahahaha.
If you keep showing off, I’ll tell you the scariest horror story from our village, the little girl who sold missiles.
The little girl who sold missiles didn’t sell a single missile today. By nightfall, she was so cold that she remembered her grandmother hahaha. So, she lit a missile, and that night, everyone in her village saw her grandmother hahahaha.
If you dare to show off and be disobedient, and arbitrarily arrange emotions for me, I will think of the little girl who sold missiles in my mind and blast you away, hahahaha.
If we say you have this kind of courage, what emotion would dare to provoke you? Huh?
What is counter-control? I want you to think what I want you to think, and if you dare to arbitrarily arrange thoughts and emotions for me, I will think of this matter to deal with you. If I get angry, I’ll think of a big mare kicking you, her hooves are super large, bigger than both your heads, and I’ll kick your head until you’re dazed.
What? I’m using thoughts to control thoughts, isn’t that wrong? Have I cultivated incorrectly? Go to hell~!
Who cares if I’m using thoughts to control thoughts or not, as long as I can control them~! Hehehe. I’ll be the king of thought control first.
Once I’m the king of thought control, everyone will behave. Naturally, I won’t need to use thoughts to control thoughts anymore. Everyone will be obedient, so what is there to control? If they’re not obedient, I’ll keep controlling them, damn it~! Do you think I fear you?
I sing loudly to the heavens with joy, my loyal heart shines upon Kunlun~! Dignity is only on the tip of the sword, and truth is only within range of the cannon!
The first step for an immortal cultivator is to first confront their own thoughts and control themselves~!
As the saying goes: The compassionate father holds a sword, the rebellious son should not show off, if you dare to show off again, I will cut your head off.
What the hell is depression? What the hell is anxiety? I’m sorry, I am your father, listen obediently, son, if you don’t listen, I’m going to beat you severely today~!
Damn it, my emotions must be under my control, and my thoughts must also be under my control. You’ve spoiled me too much, and you still want to control me? Wouldn’t that be rebelling against heaven? Do you dare to defy your superiors?
The core cultivation technique of the Wuji Sword Sect is thought control~! Do you really not know what your father does?
Guards~! “Boom~!” Imagine two men in black in your thoughts, with large swords hanging from their waists.
“Your subordinate is here~!”
Chop up this brat called sadness for me, let me be happy for a while, hehehe.
“Yes~!”
“Hey, bring me that Italian cannon.”
“Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, it’s here, sir.”
“Blast that fear away for me~!”
“Boom~!”
“Thump~!”
Cough cough cough, damn it, my mind is my own, I am the god of all your emotions~!
Either surrender~! Or be beaten by me forever, choose yourself~! I don’t give a damn!
What? Are you convinced?
Sincerely convinced?
Convinced in your heart? That means you are not convinced verbally?
Beat it for me~!
Convinced verbally? That means you are not convinced in your heart?
Kick it for me~!
Convinced in both heart and word?
Cut it for me~!
Even if you are convinced, it’s useless, I’m just playing by beating you.
I’m beating my own thoughts, is that illegal? Does it slightly violate heavenly laws? Does it slightly violate common sense?
I am my own heavenly law~! I am my own common sense~!
Keep cutting~! Cut until it can’t even fart without my permission~!”
Damn it~! Hahaha.
You, you are not human, you even beat thoughts and emotions~!”
I want to~! It costs money to beat others, doesn’t it? I beat my thoughts and emotions for free, why wouldn’t I do it? If I don’t do it, how can I practice thought control?
If I don’t subdue you, you brats, you keep controlling me with your random thoughts, making me unable to sleep, making me cry and laugh, and thinking about things in a messy way.
You know you were wrong this time, it’s too late~! Even gods can’t control me now, I am my own god~!
If we say you have the domineering and fierce temperament of a boy, what thought would dare to provoke you?
I accidentally cultivated thought control just by playing~! What medicine can be more powerful than the strength of transforming thoughts into fists?
