This is a record of an interview with the spirit of Steve Jobs, who sought save at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He reflects upon the nature of human existence, the accumulation of negative entities, and the path to true peace. Recorded by the chief writer, the disciple Shi Faxin, on August 16, 2019.
Steve Jobs speaks:
". I am Steve Jobs. No matter where your Causal Conditions may currently lead you, you must place your faith in the Buddha. To successfully hold a great assembly, it requires the convergence of many conditions, and the teachings provided by the Buddha always carry profound wisdom. In the vastness of the void, there are still countless sentient beings waiting—waiting for the great of a Dharma assembly. At this manifest moment, given the volatility of human nature, we must guide everyone back toward the right path.
The Weight of Human Desires
Although life today is materially affluent, most people feel a deep sense of unease in their heart. They live day by day, caught in the relentless cycle of social competition—the 'survival of the fittest.' This constant struggle, the exploitation of others, the frantic digging for resources, and the endless calculations for personal gain have all accumulated a massive amount of negative entities. People do not realise they need to wake up. They continue to pursue material wealth repeatedly, and this overflow of greed—this insatiable desire—is a major problem in the human world today.
In such a restless life, everyone has forgotten what it feels like to truly be still. Being still is not merely about finding a quiet place to sit; the core of the matter lies in the thoughts of the heart. When you see something, what do you think? Is the origin of that thought Goodness or not? Does it lead to positive outcomes for the things and people around you?"
The Invisible Web of Influence
"A single person's thoughts of Goodness, or the collective thoughts of Goodness of many, create a field of energy in the void. Every second, these thoughts are born and multiply, filling the space around us. Goodness attracts good spirits, while evil thoughts attract evil spirits, or even invite the Demon Realm to be in sync and take control. Most people who are controlled in this way appear to have lost their autonomy. Their eyes look vacant, their personalities become irritable, and they even commit acts they would never normally consider. This is what is meant by a 'change in temperament.'
The thoughts are so numerous that one no longer knows which one has caused the major problem, and the person is simply replaced by the beings that follow those thoughts. These are things that people in the human world today have never known. Through the clairvoyant vision attained by the grandmother—Practitioner Su—we can see that beyond the physical organs, the human body is governed by invisible spaces. To move even a fraction is to move the entire body; the beings attached to will respond in kind. The vibrations of the body return to the human form, and it is still the person themselves who suffers. It even affects those around them, triggering negative emotions and the like. All of this belongs to a cycle where one has lost the ability to be the master of one's own life."
The Practice of No-Mind
"If you wish to avoid these influences, you must learn to view everything with a 'no-mind' perspective. Only by reaching the state of 'nothingness' can you resist the 'existence' of these external pressures. This skills is not achieved in a single day. It requires long-term cultivation and the consistent practice of listening to the sutras. Through listening, you gain realisation, digest the teachings, and implement them in your daily actions, time and time again.
Most good cause will inevitably lead to good fruit. This is the Law of Causal Conditions and Effect. I hope that those who hear these words can reflect deeply on their own state of mind and choose the path of clarity and Goodness.
