606. Mind and Nature
Cultivating one's mind is the most difficult aspect of spiritual practice—all sentient beings ultimately cultivate their minds, for everything is created by the mind. The mind is thought—how one thinks when faced with a situation. Life is an energy body with thought. How does energy increase—by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, merit, and blessings. Blessings and wisdom—thought determines correctness, reaction, and efficiency. Only with a correct mind and correct thinking can energy be accumulated positively. All spiritual practice is about cultivating the mind.
607. The Layers of the Heart
Original Mind, Core, Soul Mind, Chakra Mind, Wisdom Mind, Cause and Effect Mind, Habitual Mind, Gender Mind, Clan Mind, Social Mind, Family Mind, Environmental Mind, Spiritual Mind, Energy Mind, Interest Mind, Affairs Mind, Body and Mind, Mind of Connection with All Beings.
608. Original Intention
Origin—The root of one's mind and nature in the first life of reincarnation. Original settings for the first life—Buddha Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, Ghost Realm, Human Realm. Changing the initial settings is extremely difficult—it's a struggle against one's true nature. In the first life of a Ghost Realm person, they eat with a gusto; in the Lust Realm, they are naturally lustful; in the Buddha Realm, they are kind; in the Monster Realm, they are competitive; in the Ghost Realm, they are highly unpredictable.
609. Core
Represents a person's nature—face-saving, impatience, irritability, cowardice, timidity, and suspicion. "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature"—better than one's original intention, but still difficult. The proportions of the five poisons and four mentalities differ—admiration for the strong, living for the validation of others. It's relatively difficult to have a core problem.
610. Soul and Heart
The soul represents emotions and thoughts—the soul itself is relatively difficult to change. The accumulated thoughts and imprints of reincarnation become part of the soul. The Great Heavenly Soul and the Great Earthly Soul combine with the self for 7-15 days, influencing thoughts and behavior. The human soul is drawn by the family's earthly soul—ancestral mistakes and resentments affect the descendants' thinking, marriage, and sleep. The clone influences one's own thoughts—the cultivation state of different avatars in different planes affects the choice of scriptures to read. If a clone occupies a body, one should seek treatment at a hospital or Taoist temple. The more fragments of the soul, the more active the thoughts.
611. The Chakra Mind
Different chakra images can significantly alter personality and thoughts—a crown chakra shield can impair information processing; a solar plexus can reverse thoughts, making one's thinking different from others; and an octopus-like chakra can cause sensitivity and difficulty integrating into society. Chakra repair is simple—subconscious choices regarding behavior, thoughts, emotions, and chakra lines can be repaired through a therapist.
612. Wisdom Mind
Solve all of life's problems using first principles and higher-dimensional principles. This is crucial in combating instinct—whether to react instinctively or intelligently. Changing your approach or habits can change your destiny.
613. The Mind of Cause and Effect
As long as it's not your first life, there is inevitably cause and effect. Good cause and effect may lead to being born into a wealthy family, but if your heart is not virtuous, it will harm you; bad cause and effect may lead to being constantly bullied and suppressed, affecting your mind and body. Cause and effect have a very significant impact on a person. The mindset regarding cause and effect is relatively easy to resolve—endure it, neutralize the cause and effect, and it will disappear in the next life.
614. Habitual Mind
The inertia of reincarnation—being stingy, love-struck, studious, and mischievous in one life carries over to the next. A child who likes to boss others around and has specific preferences regarding how they drink water—habits from a previous life. A field mouse that saved a family by storing grain is reincarnated as timid and fond of hiding things.
615. Gender Mind
The thought patterns of reincarnated men and women differ—men are less patient with finding their way, aesthetics, and managing the household than women, while women are less logical and intuitive with their surroundings. The strength of one's physical body in the human realm influences behavior—the Dharma realm observes the intensity.
616. Clan Heart
Different races are born with different attributes—rats are timid and like to hide; the gentle women of the Jiangnan water towns are fierce and valiant; dragons and Asuras are brave and aggressive; women from Northeast China are formidable. The Buddhist and Celestial realms are simple and naive; the Ghost realm is unpredictable; the Demon realm is foolish, driven by high desires and intense hatred. Tree reincarnations are not quick-witted; plant reincarnations are flexible but lack resolve.
617. Social Psychology
The influence of social environment on thinking and behavior - Before Zhu Xi, feet were not bound; after the Song Dynasty, feet were bound; and in the Republic of China, feet were not bound again. In matriarchal clans, women were in charge of external affairs and men were in charge of internal affairs, but now the roles are reversed.
618. Home Heart
The influence of family environment—views on the world, spouse, elderly, and children. The degree of happiness in one's family of origin affects attitudes toward filial piety towards parents and towards children.
619. Environmental Mind
The environment influences one's state of mind and spiritual practice—the environment of a used car dealer selling antiques makes it difficult to trust others. Different regional environments—Ukraine, Palestine, and Israel make it difficult to maintain a benevolent spiritual practice. The 20-21 wormhole space overlaps with Earth, causing many people to feel inexplicably weak, leading to mistakes.
