Enlightenment, Cultivation, and Shallow Affinity with the Six Kins

Do you know why what I say is different from what other so-called cultivators say?

It's because I cultivated after enlightenment and have understood many principles along the way.

Then, at a specific moment, I suddenly achieved a breakthrough, changed my perception, and thus obtained my unique method of cultivation.

Do you see this diagram?

Within yin, there is yang; within yang, there is yin. They embrace each other.

If consciousness is yang, then the subconscious is yin.

Your consciousness invisibly influences the part of you beneath your subconscious, and your subconscious also invisibly influences your consciousness.

These two are inseparable. What we need to cultivate is the line in the middle of the Taiji diagram, merging our consciousness and subconscious, standing in the middle.

Once you cultivate to this point, you can achieve the mutual transformation of yin and yang, possessing the power to twist the heavens and earth.

It's about turning the black into white, the evil into good, transforming bad thoughts into good ones, and being able to switch perspectives at will.

Not operating from the perspective of individual consciousness, but viewing oneself and everything else from an objective, macroscopic viewpoint.

It's like playing a game, controlling your character. Start by controlling their thought patterns, making the character think and act in the direction you desire.

When you can cultivate to this level, it's what's called a prison break, a BUG, a cheat.

What the hell are cancer and tumors? Those are just perceptions others have instilled in you.

They are merely brought about by the mutation of internal energy influenced by karmic habits, not some incurable disease.

As long as you change this perception, understand the underlying principles, and transform from the root – that is, from the heart and from your daily habits –

Then all illnesses will eventually improve.

Conversely, the more you believe that something is incurable, the more depressed and distressed you become, plunging yourself into an abyss, and the harder it will be for you to climb out.

How can someone whose heart has died possibly live?

If the heart is alive and can change at will, how can you possibly die?

If you can arbitrarily change the patterns of your body and mind, you can naturally change your karmic habits at will. Once energy is balanced, those diseases will naturally stop spreading or begin to improve.

The heart can kill and it can save. Mind and spirit, mind and spirit – the heart is the spirit.

Spiritual Terrace Square Inch Mountain, Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, Bodhi Immortal – these represent your state of mind.

If you can change your state of mind at will, you are an immortal, you are a god, and you possess the power to heal everything.

The heart is the best medicine in this world.

To "put the heart in the right place" means to place it in the center. As long as you place your heart in the center, you can use the heart's power.

What the hell is spiritual cultivation, divine cultivation? They all cultivate this heart. As the saying goes, the mind and spirit, the heart is the root of everything.

No matter what the matter, you must start from this root and solve problems from the root. Everything will yield twice the result with half the effort and develop in a positive direction.

You'll have to realize this for yourself; listen, watch, and think more.

Now, let's talk about the topic of shallow affinity with the six kins.

I think many friends have heard this saying online;

If everyone around you says you have a good personality and are emotionally stable, but when you communicate with your family, you become impatient, feel restless, and then feel guilty when you see their sad expressions or their gray hair. Psychology calls this apathy syndrome, etc.

These self-proclaimed cultivators will tell you that in cultivation, they call this shallow affinity with the six kins. They say it's because you've lived too transparently, that you've had it harder than anyone, that your romantic life has been full of hardships, and that you've overcome many difficulties alone.

This kind of nonsense is actually meant to resonate with you and make you believe what they say.

Because who hasn't gone through something like this? Ninety-eight out of a hundred people have.

These are normal experiences, yet they present them to you to create emotional resonance, making you think they are absolutely right and that you are just like that.

Hahaha, if you believe it, then you've been brainwashed. This is comforting your soul, or rather, it's just empty platitudes.

The only good thing they do is offer some advice at the end, saying that people like you are not without blessings; on the contrary, you have great blessings, and you should focus your heart on your career, etc., and that things will be wonderful in the future.

In reality, they are exploiting your superficial understanding and your weakness of not being able to connect with others' experiences, making you feel they are incredibly insightful. This builds trust in them. Then, whenever you encounter difficulties in life, you'll naturally think of seeking their advice. They'll provide psychological counseling (perform rituals, sell talismans, etc.) while telling you what to do, essentially changing your perception. The more you believe, the more likely you are to succeed. It's the same principle as the power of belief I discussed earlier.

Thus, while profiting from you, you also feel genuinely helped.

To put it bluntly, this is exploiting people's hearts to help them adjust their mindset, which is to say, to change their perception.

As for cultivating immortality, the true meaning of shallow affinity with the six kins is not about not being close to one's family.

These six kins refer to the sentient beings of the six realms.

Shallow affinity with the six kins means that when a person cultivates to a certain state – the state of the Taiji diagram's middle line that I mentioned –

At this point, you can see the patterns of human nature, or the general state of sentient beings. Sometimes, it's not that they want to act a certain way, but rather they act that way due to the influence of karmic habits.

You yourself will not be affected by these influences, nor will your inner heart be bound by emotional or sentimental reasons, or any other reasons.

This is the true meaning of shallow affinity with the six kins.

Because you understand the principle of the arising and ceasing of thoughts, there is no fixed state.

Knowing that they speak and act based on certain karmic factors, you will not dwell on them or become distressed.

The heart can leap freely, jumping from various environments to clearly recognize the essence or purpose of things at any time.

Seemingly heartless, yet full of feeling. Seemingly indifferent, their heart is like a clear mirror, knowing the ins and outs of matters better than anyone.

This prevents them from getting too deeply entangled.

For example, a relative tells you to do this or that, but they themselves aren't living a great life, and yet they come to give you advice.

This can be very irritating, but you know they mean well and are offering suggestions based on their own understanding to help guide your life.

Perhaps sometimes, due to their excessive investment, they might even become emotionally charged, which you can't accept.

Because you don't want to be controlled, led, or have someone dictate your life or your daily affairs.

This is a very normal emotional fluctuation, as all living beings cherish freedom and unconstraint.

By seeing this clearly, you can understand others while also understanding yourself.

When you can break free from habitual thinking and view things from a detached perspective, you have then grasped the meaning of shallow affinity with the six kins.
