Chapter 321: Projected Phantoms
With that in mind, I, Big Brother, initially wanted to punish them a little.
But after some thought, I decided against it. Squabbling with ants is truly beneath me.
It’s not that I can’t, but I simply disdain bullying ants. Frankly, even if I, Big Brother, didn’t display any other divine abilities, just speaking to them or engaging in banter would lead them to believe I was angry. If I cursed them again, they’d think I was fixated on emotions.
Hearing the words filled with emotion that I, Big Brother, spoke, they actually became genuinely moved.
Then, passively, their emotions would cause them to become half-dead with anger, and they’d be unable to resist finding justifications to argue back with me, Big Brother.
But in reality? Every single action they took was clearly understood by me, Big Brother.
I, Big Brother, was happily controlling their emotions and using their emotions to make them even more furious. They, foolishly, were unaware.
It was just like a puppet on strings, being swung around in my hand.
The principle is very simple, hehehe. I, myself, can freely jump out of the perspective of the self! I can also maintain this state of being out of the self, eliminating the perspective of the self.
I can even enter the self while arguing with them, intentionally stirring up emotions and saying words filled with emotion.
After speaking, I, myself, would jump back out.
Upon seeing or hearing words filled with emotion, they would instinctively resonate and be influenced, also stirring up their emotions. But they, truly, cannot be aware continuously! They cannot freely enter and exit! When they stubbornly argue and confront me, it would be considered light if I didn’t enrage them to death.
My lower self and my higher self are both my tools! I, myself, use my higher self to see the essence, and use my lower self to control emotions and speak to influence them, then I stand outside of both the higher self and the lower self to watch the fun.
Hehe, those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die.
In matters like this, if I didn’t personally say it, who would have thought? That the higher self and lower self could also be played with like this?
Of course, it can be played with like this!
Because in the process of cultivation, as is widely known, everyone equates transcending the self’s perspective to being the higher self, a state of awareness. This itself doesn’t have any significant flaws.
However, hahahaha! These are not the truly top-tier Chan Buddhism cultivators in the mortal world, they are merely top cultivators in the eyes of the world.
Because after achieving this, there is still the act of transcending the higher self. Others don’t even have a continuous higher self, only occasionally displaying it. And after being able to continuously maintain the higher self, they don’t know how to cultivate further, so they mistakenly believe it ends at the higher self. They will definitely think that reaching the higher self is the ultimate result.
As the saying goes: Refining Qi to Spirit, Refining Spirit to Void, Refining Void to Dao.
In the realm of the soul, that is, the fundamental energy layer, the explanation is:
Refining Qi to Spirit means transcending the self and manifesting the higher self, activating the primordial spirit, primarily with the innate primordial spirit, also known as the higher dimension.
Refining Spirit to Void means dissolving the primordial spirit’s perspective as well, becoming truly without dimensional limitations. The higher dimension transforms into no dimension, and no dimension can be infinitely dimensional.
After reaching the void, further refining is Refining Void to Dao. Refining Void to Dao, simply put, means true thoughtlessness, being oneself purely according to innate patterns.
I, Big Brother, have long mastered this technique. However, there are still times when I need to actively use my brain and think a little. This is the state where there is no action, no thought; if there is action, thought doesn’t arise.
And in the next step, when there’s no need to actively think, even thinking becomes automated operation, that is unification with Dao. I am already in the process of unifying with Dao with my eyes open.
Once everything transforms into automated patterns, hehehe, that is true selflessness.
Because the lower self is gone, the higher self is gone, leaving only instinctive awareness, like an infant. Laughing is natural, crying is natural, anger is natural, even thinking is natural, everything is automated under instinct.
Instinct is habit, habit is natural, and naturally, the Way is Natural. This is the reason for cultivating good habits.
Eat when thirsty, sleep when hungry, cry when you want to, laugh when you want to, without shackles, the purest innate nature. There’s also no such thing as getting angry or not, everything comes and goes, and then it’s gone.
Damn it, writing this makes even I, Laozi, suddenly feel like crying a bit, hahahaha. Because I, myself, am truly too formidable, to have comprehended cultivation to this extent.
I, Laozi, I am truly so monstrously unusual that I’m not like a human, because these words I’m speaking are what I realized after cultivating, then combining with what I heard before or later, only then did I realize I had unknowingly reached this point, wuwuwu, this feeling, I, Big Brother, truly cannot express it.
This is also the secret as to why I influence you all, making you remember certain words in your hearts, influencing you to continuously acquire higher energy.
Some people even dream of someone, or me, or an old man, or a Bodhisattva teaching or advising them.
This Dharma is called: The Dharma Body of Billions and Projection of Phantoms.
And I, Big Brother, can be modestly called: The extraordinary in the ordinary. You can also call me the Invincible Awesome Chan Xin Great Master, hehehehehe.
Those who resonate with my frequency should have the deepest impression of these words I speak, because no matter what they dream about, or in their waking life, someone will suddenly appear, or they will recall, or hear some words somewhere reminding them, correcting them.
I, Big Brother, have always been grateful for everything, and only grateful for everything. Even those who don’t understand and retort against me, I thank them for specifically coming to aid my cultivation.
I will give everyone a very short Dao Enlightenment Mind Method as a temporary gift.
《 The Wuji True Wonderful Method 》 Author: Chan Xin
When obstacles arise with wonderful applications, without obstacles, return to Nirvana’s stillness.
A phoenix must be reborn through fire, a true dragon soars through the nine heavens.
The mortal world is the Eight Trigrams Furnace, refining impurities to form a Golden Core.
The True Immortal who achieves longevity resides, formless and without appearance, seated in the heart’s field.
Heeheehee, wahahahahaha.
…
My thoughts returned to the present. I, Big Brother, smiled at this group and said nothing.
After all, I, Big Brother, and they do not belong to the same level.
Entangling with these pig-like beings is no different than talking to a stubborn donkey. It would be strange if they could understand.
I, Big Brother, figured that after a while, when the time is right, I’ll just take Awesome Duck and leave. There’s no need to stay in this damned environment.
Because living beings, whatever they see for a long time, they learn to be like. I, Laozi, am truly worried that Awesome Duck’s mind will also be influenced and become like them.
I remember a long time ago, someone conducted an experiment by placing a young chimpanzee and their newborn child together. After a period, they discovered that the chimpanzee cub was constantly imitating the human child, considering itself human.
And the human child was also imitating the chimpanzee cub’s behavior and habits, believing itself to be the same species as the chimpanzee. This frightened him so much that he immediately stopped the experiment.
Therefore, from this incident, he concluded that human acquired cognition, habits, and ways of thinking are products of the environment.
While this is not absolute, most people fall within this rule.
Of course, within the entire human race, there exist certain individuals who are superhuman, displaying extraordinary understanding and vision from a young age. However, the proportion of such people is like a drop in the ocean, extremely rare.
…
After listening to this group of fools chatter for a while longer, finding it utterly boring, I, Big Brother, wanted to take Awesome Duck and leave.
But when I turned my head and saw Awesome Duck’s duck face about to be bullied to tears, I, Laozi, immediately turned hostile.
Damn it, it’s one thing to provoke me, Big Brother, but to bully my duck is going too far, right?
The next second, I, Big Brother, who had appeared gentle and refined, let out a soft but cold snort: “Hmph!”
I loudly cursed the fools who were continuously mocking Awesome Duck: “You idiots, damn you! What business is it of yours how my child is? I didn’t go to school for free! Don’t say that him getting the lowest score is a big deal, even if he sleeps all day, what does it have to do with you?”
After scolding these fools, I, Big Brother, turned to the wild boar and questioned: “His poor academic performance should be a concern for you teachers, shouldn’t it? Are you crazy? I’m paying for my child’s education, and you want me to worry about his studies? Then what’s the point of sending him to school? I could teach him myself with this time! Don’t you know your own position? If you can’t do your job, you’re blaming it on the child?
Even if it’s truly the child’s unwillingness to learn, I, who am paying, haven’t said anything, so what right do you, the one earning money, have to speak such nonsense to your grandmother?”
