The Illusion of Control: Understanding Natural Phenomena

The Myth of Bodily Sovereignty

Every single day, we find ourselves tethered to the relentless demands of our physical form. We often mistake these demands for what we call natural phenomena—the simple, unavoidable rhythms of life such as eating, attending to bodily functions, and the necessity of sleep. We view these as basic requirements of existence, yet if we look more deeply, we realise that these are not processes that we can truly control ourselves.

If you fail to satisfy these needs, or if you neglect to resolve them, your physical body will inevitably suffer. You may face discomfort, illness, or a complete loss of control. This is the most profound evidence that the control of our physical body does not truly belong to us. We are, in many ways, servants to the needs of this vessel.

The Hidden Influence of the Unseen

In my daily work of performing Chao Du, I have witnessed scenes far more alarming than the simple struggle of bodily needs. When you walk down the street and begin to contemplate what you should eat for your next meal, your mind emits a specific frequency. This is not merely a thought; it is a wave of energy that ripples outward into the void.

There are many spirits in the vast expanse of the universe who receive these vibrations. When they sense your thoughts, they follow the direction of that energy and approach you. They enter your brain consciousness and begin to subtly influence the decisions you make. Consider this common experience:

• You start your day with the intention of eating a simple meal.
• As you walk, you see a shop selling noodles and suddenly change your mind.
• You believe this was your own choice, yet it may have been a suggestion planted by an external influence.

This seemingly simple change of heart hides a secret that most people never suspect. These spirits silently interfere with your every move, your every word, and your every action. Sometimes, the very craving for a specific food is not your own, but rather the intense desire of a spirit who is using your body to satisfy its own lingering attachments.

The Digital Web of Distraction

In our modern society, we are surrounded by an endless stream of information and data, all contained within the world of technology. This digital landscape is designed to cater to the habits, character, and desires of the masses. It is filled with various temptations that target our emotions and our character, including:

• Games designed to foster addiction and waste time.
• Videos that stir up unnecessary emotions and cravings.
• Music that clouds the clarity of the heart.
• Websites that pull us deeper into a state of confusion.

As we become immersed in these platforms, we are gradually dragged into a cycle from which it becomes difficult to escape. Many of the spirits associated with this technology are constantly interfering with our mental state, keeping us trapped in a state of distraction and preventing us from finding true peace.

Restoring the True Path

The entire world, our society, and our ecological environment are in desperate need of a clear, pure stream of energy. We must work to purify and correct these so-called natural phenomena, guiding them back onto the right path. By doing so, we can help people find true satisfaction, regain the ability to govern their own physical actions, and prevent their consciousness from being obstructed by the interference of spirits.

It is vital that we help more people understand the profound depth and importance of the Buddha’s teachings. Through this education, we can save all suffering beings in both the visible and invisible realms, allowing them to find true liberation. Let us remain diligent in our practice, keeping our focus on the path of wisdom and compassion. Namo Amituofo.
