A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 1096: Face and substance (1)

To put it simply, there is something called a spirit medium that tells the people who come to the spirit medium about certain things.

This "thing" is usually what they worship, what they call "God" or "spirit".

It can also be called "spirit" or "weird", or scientifically speaking, it can be called some kind of existence, but these existences are not positive energy existences.

People exist in the tangible world, and generally speaking, these "existences" are negative.

Most people who go out to see things rarely have a good environment. Even if the lights are on during the day, the environment feels dark, dirty, damp, gray, and has a bad smell. It can be said that it is not bright or fresh at all.

The reason is that these places have low energy and poor magnetic fields, so "good friends" gather together. Look at those people's faces, they are dark, their eyes are dull, and their complexions are dry and lifeless like dead wood.

Therefore, most people should avoid those places and have less contact with those people. If you go there, you will really get yourself into trouble. Those good friends are not vegetarians, so protect yourself.

Those who call themselves fairies can only be said to be "pretending to be gods". As for whether they are being tricky or not, it depends on how negative the energy of the good friend she worships is. It's the law of the jungle, big monsters eat small monsters, big fish eat shrimps.

But it’s different now. Most of the ones that are effective are those who follow the right path.

The reason is very straightforward. Before the Dharma Ending Age, they were not presentable. After the real Dharma Ending Age, how can they maintain their own existence?

Only those with widespread faith can survive this comprehensive Dharma-Ending Age.

As for why there are still evil people among so many positive beings, the old saying goes, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.

When an energy entity cannot even sustain itself, drinking poison to quench thirst is also an option.

When Zhang Lan was discussing this with someone, the other person had clearly told him that in today's era, it can be clearly stated that physical sanctification does not exist. Any physical wonder can be concluded to be fake.

Then, we can slowly verify it scientifically. If it cannot be proven, we can confirm that it is false, or at least doubt it. Legends are likely to be distorted, especially in the field of physical miracles.

If it is spiritual, or in other words, spirit, soul, or something like that, then there is no such thing as true or false in this experience. It can be true or false, and even false can become true or true can become false.

For example, dreaming is of course considered fake, but the experience is real, and the effect it plays is also real.

Generally speaking, dreaming is a very common thing, and the experience is limited. However, some people can even create and chase dreams, which enriches their experience. Of course, the possibility of mental illness is also increased.

When you pursue your dreams more often, accidental changes or intentional creations will make you experience special shocks.

So, just like reading a book, looking at natural scenery, and watching the changes in human affairs, everyone has their own feelings. You cannot say that others have no feelings or that having different feelings is false.

Just like dreaming, directly or indirectly, watching the changes in the spirit and participating in it, the experience will not be fake.

Therefore, being able to feel the presence of gods and having some kind of interaction with them, even if it is a very illusory dream or illusion, just like when people dream of ghosts, the experience is not false.

If it has a positive effect and is not as scary as the ghosts in dreams, then it is beneficial and those who are willing to confirm it will naturally be recognized.

For people who practice longevity, they have always deified the unknown, and there is an instinctive impulse to acknowledge the existence of gods. Therefore, in religions and quasi-religions, it is inevitable to acknowledge the existence of gods. So, should we deny or acknowledge first? It is an attitude and a direction choice, because this choice has feedback.

This is the shaping of one's own worldview, which is an active change. It will naturally guide future actions and also provide implicit and explicit guidance to the spirit.

The final choice depends on your own needs and necessity. There is no need to follow the crowd or seek scientific or unscientific proof. Because, in the end, everything is false. Seeking truth through falsehood is an attitude.

In fact, there is a saying that goes, fake things make more money than real things. For example, magic tools, fortune telling, and performing rituals for people.

As long as the reputation gets out at the beginning, it will be easy for people to put aside their pride and be ruthless and make hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the news, there are reports of someone meeting a master, asking the master to teach his son, and spending tens of millions only to find out that he was cheated. How did he find out that he was cheated? It was said that his son had been learning from him for a long time but still could not learn anything.

Or they are cheated out of millions by various rituals and mascots. Generally, when seeing this kind of news, people will sigh how people with such IQ can make hundreds of millions. In fact, people who have such thoughts really don’t understand how deceptive this is.

There are a few reasons why people are deceived. First, they start praying to gods and Buddhas when they encounter problems that they cannot solve. Second, they encounter masters who can perform things that are beyond their understanding.

To sum up, the truth is that the effect of a certain ritual makes people feel that it is very effective, but it is impossible to explain it. Once this effect occurs, it basically depends on what the master says.

Take the short video platforms today for example. If you are interested, you can see some training courses involving Taoism, where you can learn various Zhouyi predictions, rituals, talismans, etc. The fees range from as low as 20,000 yuan to as high as over 100,000 yuan.

If you ask them to come to your door to perform a ritual, the basic fee starts at five or six thousand yuan, and the expensive ones can go over hundreds of thousands of yuan, and sometimes they have to be performed continuously.

The key is that there are people who really learn and do it. Looking at the hundreds of people in their WeChat group, the brave ones will die of overeating while the timid ones will die of starvation. It's really speechless.

Let's talk about taking in apprentices first. If you meet a virtuous master, he will not consider the tuition fee first. The first thing he will consider must be the apprentice's virtue, purpose, and understanding.

Then classify them according to whether they are to be kept long-term to promote the art, or to be taught casually. Money is almost negligible, because capable masters do not have high material requirements and are not short of money. This may not sound good, but it is the truth.

Let's talk about the fees for the rituals. For a ritual, there are gold ingots, candles, incense, fruits, offerings, and three to five monks chanting incantations. The cost is not much, and more than half of it is spent on the maintenance and repair of the Taoist temple. Each monk gets three to five hundred yuan, and that's all.

So generally speaking, a large ritual takes two to three hours and the maximum profit is two to three thousand yuan. A small ritual only requires a few hundred yuan. So how much money you make is a lot.

Some people say that rituals performed in small Taoist temples are ineffective, but are ordinary people really sure that spending tens of thousands of dollars on a ritual in a large Taoist temple will definitely work?

The key to the ritual lies in the people, not the size of the temple.

If a person wants to be the biggest culprit, no one can stop him. For those who practice cultivation, all rituals are a kind of consumption for the master who performs them.

Therefore, a serious and capable master will focus on cultivation, and will not focus on making money by performing rituals, unless the Taoist temple really needs to spend money.

In fact, Zhang Lan also contributed to this trend, or it can be said that people who truly practice spiritual practice, to some extent, also want to save themselves some trouble.
