Chapter 205: Hope
“Big Brother, some people say that there is always hope. What exactly is this hope?”
“It’s very simple. People have complex and ever-changing minds; they think about this and that. At one moment they feel goodwill and revere all things, and at another moment they feel malice and are suspicious of everything. To put it simply, it’s the constant interweaving of human cognition and desire. This is actually a pattern, and it’s where human nature’s wickedness lies.
But why do people always talk about hope? Actually, if I explain these two words separately, you’ll understand. ‘Hope’ can be understood as ‘scarce’ and ‘desire.’ Make your own thoughts or desires simple and scarce, for example, have only one. Then this desire will become singular or focused.
If all your efforts are directed towards one goal, the chance of success becomes frighteningly high.
There’s a saying, ‘ten years to forge one sword.’ If you can persevere with one thing for ten years, hehehe, you are very likely to accomplish it.
Don’t pay attention to time, space, or the superficial trivialities of life. Bring your thoughts back to yourself and focus on this one thing. Put everything else aside and just focus on doing this one thing, and then you’ll be awesome.
For example, if you only focus on singing, and everything revolves around singing, after ten years of hard work, just think about it.
If you only focus on cooking, what happens after ten years? Think about it again. No matter what field you are in, whatever you are passionate about, stick with one thing and do it. If you don’t become awesome, who will? That hope will naturally be realized, it’s that simple.
Don’t think of the word ‘hope’ as something fantastical; instead, integrate it with reality and implement it.”
“Damn, Big Brother, so that’s how it is? Is that how hope is achieved?”
“Yes, this is the pattern for anyone who wants to accomplish something. First, set a goal, then work towards that goal, and make what you have in your heart come true. That is to say, your wishes come true. It’s not that complicated. It’s about perseverance. The value lies in perseverance. If you stick with something for a long time, then that thing becomes valuable. Ooooh-ho-ho! Hahahaha!”
“Damn, wow, Big Brother, after hearing you say that, I think I’m starting to understand. For example, someone who has loved playing table tennis since childhood, if they persistently pursue their passion, keep learning, and practice every day, what happens after ten years? Twenty years later? Their skill will be at a master level.
Someone who has loved painting since childhood, focusing only on painting, ten years later, twenty years later…
Even if someone loves calligraphy, after ten years, twenty years, decades… this is how masters are made, right?”
“Otherwise? It’s like your Big Brother. After attaining enlightenment, I constantly remind myself to cultivate and cultivate the heart. I grasp a move and practice it, step by step cultivating to the point where I can write books for you now. I prepared to awaken you two years ago, but at that time, my skill was not enough. I could only be at ease with myself, that is, Guānzìzài, observing my own freedom. I couldn’t casually tell you about principles like I can now. But now, hehehe, in my eyes, nothing is a problem. Nothing can trap your Big Brother. So, naturally, I’ve started writing books. To put it more simply, do you think I wrote this book because I know how to write books, or because I’ve cultivated to an incredibly awesome level?”
“This? Big Brother, your cultivation is indescribably awesome. If you hadn’t asked me, I wouldn’t have thought about it. Upon careful consideration, Big Brother, it’s because your cultivation is awesome that you can write awesome things. So that’s how it is!”
“Yes, it’s not that I know how to do things, but that I express what I do best through text, and I can explain it in common language so you can understand. Therefore, I am naturally awesome.
Otherwise? Otherwise, you’d find some old man, pay him a lot of money, and he’d tell you things that are all vague and confusing, leaving you dazed. You still want to attain enlightenment? It’s debatable whether you’d even wake up in a few decades. At most, he’d teach you some technique, and you’d spend forever cultivating your rear end. The things that truly lead you to enlightenment are told to you and explained so you can realize them yourself. It’s not that you become enlightened just because I told you; it’s yours only when you realize it or achieve it yourself.
Shall I give you an example of using the Primordial Spirit and the Conscious Spirit together? The Primordial Spirit influences the Conscious Spirit, and the Conscious Spirit can also influence the Primordial Spirit. Imagine a ball on top and a ball below. Use both balls together. When you depart, a ball from your body flies up to merge with a ball in heaven. Can you understand this kind of talk? Hahahaha. So, some master teachers aren’t wrong, they just don’t know how to explain things in modern terms. But Big Brother can! Big Brother realized it himself! And I can understand what many older cultivators say, simplifying those words into easy-to-understand terms. Understand?”
“I understand, Big Brother. Are you saying that instead of learning this and that, I should do well in what I’m passionate about and then carry it forward and develop it?”
“Yes. As long as you find your specialty and pursue it, you naturally won’t feel it’s hard work. You’ll feel it’s an enjoyment, and you’ll also experience a sense of achievement and satisfaction. So, once you find your suitable specialty, then you are actually just playing, not learning.
Then, carry this thing forward and develop it. For example, someone good at makeup can shoot makeup videos on a certain platform. Someone good at basketball can shoot basketball videos. Someone good at picking up bottles can shoot videos about picking up bottles. Express what you’re good at in some way, and then you yourself will become awesome, right?
Because compared to others in other areas, you might not be as good, but when compared to you in what you are good at, then they are all younger brothers~! Hehehe, understand?”
“Hahahaha, I understand, I understand, Big Brother. So, I need to first discover my specialty and then use my specialty to do things, and then it will be as if I have divine assistance.”
“Yes, yes, yes. In the field where you excel, you’ll be at least an expert, hahaha. In areas where you don’t excel, Big Brother would also be a younger brother, it’s that simple a principle. This is why my books have power. Because Big Brother has infused power into the books, like releasing signal frequencies. Those with the same frequency receive the signal and gain strength from it.
Over time, hehehe, you have depression, right? Instantly, you’ll think depression is nothing! It’s here to help me cultivate and temper myself. Damn it, if I conquer it, I’m its father! Thinking this, what depression is there? It’ll be directly resolved!
No matter how much distracting thoughts may cause trouble, as soon as you recall Big Brother’s words, a flying sword appears in your mind, and it chops away at the distracting thoughts. Then those distracting thoughts become nothing, right? You see, my books are for automatic cultivation. You don’t need to cultivate. When you think of Big Brother’s words, they automatically transform into techniques. Even if you’re not thinking of a sword in your mind, but a big mace or a meteor hammer, hehe, it’s still Big Brother’s techniques evolving to help you.
Or when you’re in a bad mood, and you recall a certain word from Big Brother, you become the master of your emotions. This is here to help me train my control over emotions. I transform it, turning bad things into good things. Instantly, you are liberated from painful emotions.
Then who becomes awesome if not you? Haven’t you directly surpassed a large group of people and broken through the disturbances of distracting thoughts, emotions, and so on?
You don’t have to be like others who need to find this person or that magician to tell you what’s wrong so you can get better. You can get better on your own!”
