Letting Unaffectedness Become the Norm

"Alright, you do your thing, I can't really connect with you, we're not on the same page."

"I'm just telling you the reality, reality is everything, how can living well together be more important than cultivating the mind!"

"Heh, then live well, and stop forcing this conversation with me."

I thought that after saying "stop talking" so many times, it would be over.

He continued, "Remember, I only have good intentions, no bad ones."

After hearing this, I really felt like unleashing Buddha's wrath upon demons and shot back, "And you call that not having bad intentions? You've been rambling about unity for ages, and in the end, it's all to sell things to others. Doesn't that count as bad? You can't even call this bad, it's malicious. From your perspective, you keep talking about unity, but your goal is to sell things to people to make money. And you still claim to have good intentions?"

Hearing me expose his true nature, he immediately said my perspective was too shallow.

"Your perspective isn't deep enough yet. Cultivate more, and you'll understand. 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."

"Dude, pardon my bluntness, but can you stop forcing this conversation, okay? This isn't unity, this is pure selfishness, isn't it? Are you exploiting them? And you're even using 'unity for better survival' as a topic for your pyramid scheme. I'm speechless."

"Isn't that true? I don't have bad intentions, really. I've already taken seven disciples, the oldest is fifty-three, and I haven't even charged them yet. If you don't believe me, I'll pull you into the group chat, and you can ask them."

Seeing him try to pull me into his group chat, I quickly stopped him, "Whoa! Don't you dare pull me in! I don't need to know. You just do your thing."

"Aren't what I'm saying correct? I earn their money, and then I also help them earn 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 need to eat and drink. If you call this exploitation, then gods and Buddhas and Daoists are also exploiting. The whole world is exploiting."

"Big Brother! Gods and Buddhas don't eat! It's people who eat!"

"We're all just people. Remember that, you've definitely watched too much Journey to the West."

Hahahaha, I can't believe it! Talking to him actually made me laugh. I even suspected if his seven disciples were the seven dwarfs from Snow White, tricking a fifty-something-year-old man with such despicable methods, using unity as an excuse. Truly speechless.

I really didn't want to talk to him anymore, or argue with him. Hahaha.

"Alright, go do your thing. The Buddha you believe in isn't the same as the Buddha I believe in."

"Isn't it? Isn't Buddha just a person? He needs to pass on his teachings, 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, even Buddha needs to eat. If you don't eat or drink, what do you think you'll become?"

"I'm going to block you. I can't help it, my stomach hurts from laughing."

"Block me quickly, you'll understand!"

Normally, my first reaction when encountering people like this is to simply ignore them.

But I deliberately engaged him in conversation because, generally, people who talk to these types end up infuriated.

I used him to test my self-control and to train my ability to constantly be aware of my thoughts, to cultivate without reacting to thoughts or emotions. However, if you all encounter people like this, you must stay away and not engage.

Don't get distressed or agitated, or you'll be influenced by their low-frequency energy.

If you can't control yourself and engage, don't get caught up in it, meaning don't get attached to the illusion. In other words, don't let your emotions run wild.

This is also a process of training your cultivation.

Without self-attachment, you won't get entangled with this kind of unfamiliar negative energy. When I say entangled, I don't mean in conversation.

I mean your mind isn't entangled, your mind isn't affected by their words to the point of generating various emotions.

When he was talking about gods and Buddhas, I did feel a surge of anger and displeasure.

But after constantly observing it, I calmed down, treating it like a game and not taking it seriously.

Otherwise, I would have been furious. I hope everyone pays close attention.

If you cannot shield yourself from low-frequency energy, you can simply 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 still insufficient; keep practicing.

When nothing can affect you anymore, you will have a certain level of stability. I'm talking about continuing to cultivate even after breaking illusions.

Because after breaking illusions, you must continue to cultivate so that not being affected becomes the norm.

In other words, while you know your own thoughts are false, you must also understand that others' thoughts are also false and should not be taken seriously.

He is just like you before you awakened. His words and thoughts still revolve around himself, no matter how righteously he speaks about unity or survival. His ultimate goal is to gain something from you.

Taking this example, if I were ignorant or lost, and he told me about unity and making money, I would definitely be exploited by him.

But I don't desire what he talks about, what he offers about unity and making money. Therefore, he cannot exploit me.

However, it's quite sad that those seven little dwarfs, the oldest being over fifty, are still being brainwashed.

These kinds of situations are everywhere in life. They tell you how to be good, teach you how to make money, etc., but their ultimate goal is to take your money and harvest you.

This is something you must remember. If you keep your heart upright, don't desire from others, and don't seek externally, then you will be able to recognize these kinds of people.

All cultivation practices point to one thing: seeking within, seeking your own heart.

If you seek externally, your mind will inevitably be disturbed by these demons and oddities wearing human skin.

In this era, most people are deceived for this very reason: they are deceived because they want something from others. For example, they want someone to teach them how to make money, to guide their cultivation, or to help them in the future.

Because you seek something, you inevitably lose something.

Think about it: if a stranger were truly good at making money, would they teach you how to do it for no reason?

They wouldn't even teach their own family, yet they come to you telling you how great it is to learn from them and how much money you'll make. Do you believe that?

If you were really good at making money, you'd be too busy to even manage your own affairs. How would you have time to care about whether a stranger makes money? Do you understand?

In the end, the money you earn is the money in your own pocket.

To put it bluntly, if they were that good at making money, wouldn't they have already become the richest person? Why would they bother trying to scam a stranger like you?

Don't always hold onto wishful thinking. Welfare lotteries have been sold for so many years. Some people have bought tickets for over a decade or two. If it were that easy to win, wouldn't those who bought lottery tickets have won long ago?

Out of over a billion people, are you that special? Would someone approach you out of the blue to tell you how to make money?

You might as well try to collect the 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, but foolishly believe in this person and that person, are you the fool or is someone else?

Read more books and study. Reading books gives you the opportunity to think and improve, giving you the chance to break through your cognitive limitations.

Wealth is compensation for your cognition, compensation for your self-confidence, not compensation for complaining and blaming others after being deceived!!!
