Hardcore crisis

Nepal, thirty kilometers north of Manaslu.

The brilliant light of the blue sun enveloped the continuous snow-capped mountains, reflecting a dizzying white light. In this area where the temperature is below minus 20 degrees Celsius, there are only snow-capped mountains. It is difficult to see anyone passing by here. As an uninhabited land with harsh conditions, not to mention tourists, even the local Gurkhas dare not go deep into this place.

Albert, who has been practicing here for seven months, was deeply touched by this. During these seven months, except for the monks who came every three months to deliver some necessary supplies, he had not seen him Any other outsider.

But that was exactly what he needed.

Albert has been obsessed with transpersonal psychology since ten years ago. This psychological school emerged in the United States in the 1970s. So far, it has not been completely perfected into a complete system. It is truly Very few people study it in depth. The theoretical core of this school of psychology lies in the theory of consciousness, which divides human consciousness into four levels, namely the soul level, the existence level, the self level and the shadow level. Each level represents a different understanding of personal ontology.

Its theory is based on humanism, which studies the combination of the human spiritual level and the physical level. It is based on ancient Greek philosophy, traditional Chinese philosophy, modern philosophy, Taoist thought, Buddhist theory, and ancient Indian Brahma, yoga, meditation, and Sutra. Philippine Tantric Buddhism can be used for research, and because it involves the development of potential at the physical level, the requirement to understand oneself and transcend oneself, Taoist Qigong, Indian Yoga, and Tibetan Tantric Buddhism are assistants in studying the body and soul.

In the past ten years, although Albert has made great breakthroughs on the theoretical level, there has been no progress on the physical level. As for the state of transcending oneself and seeing the light of the soul. He didn't even touch the edge.

Seven months ago, under the introduction of a friend, Albert came to 30 kilometers north of Mount Manaslu in Nepal. On a towering snow mountain here, there is a temple built in the 1950s. Although it looks dilapidated from the outside. The conditions are extremely harsh, but there is a monk who is over 117 years old living there...

Before this, Albert could not believe that this monk would be one hundred and seventeen years old, because he looked like he was only over sixty years old.

But a month later, Albert had to believe it.

This man believes in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. But the monk who was proficient in ancient yoga had extremely miraculous physical functions. He spent two weeks in a pit in the ice and snow without eating or drinking, so that Albert thought he had died long ago. When the monk was seen walking out intact after two weeks. Albert was deeply shocked by this.

This kind of scene that goes against human common sense is so shocking when it is staged in front of you.

Albert no longer had any doubts about this, and he willingly started his own spiritual path.

In the first month. He sat cross-legged on the edge of a snow-capped mountain cliff, looking down at the canyon glaciers thousands of meters high. Above is the vast blue sky, and to the left and right is the bone-chilling wind.

Then, naked to the waist and wearing only a thin pair of trousers, Albert closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Despite having a very powerful out-of-body physique. But in the surrounding temperature of nearly minus 20 degrees, meditating in the cold wind with the upper body naked is completely like seeking death. In less than half a minute, Albert's face turned blue and he had to stop his meditation.

Over the next few months, he continued to fight against nature in this cold wind. Using the breathing techniques he learned from his master, Albert persisted longer and longer.

By the seventh month, he was able to endure the cold wind for five hours without any effort.

"blow!"

Holding a wooden stick in his hand, Albert waved back and forth on the edge of the cliff. As he walked quickly, if he made a slight mistake, he would fall into the glacier of the canyon and be shattered to pieces. However, by taking advantage of the great terror between life and death, Albert's mind and body have become more and more perfectly integrated. He only feels that as his practice deepens, his eyesight and ears are getting stronger and stronger.

The most incredible thing is that his tired mind in the past has also been relieved and relaxed, and he has become more peaceful, as if nothing in the world can disturb him anymore.

As usual, after exercising on the edge of the cliff for two hours, Albert returned the same way dripping with sweat.

From halfway up the snow mountain back to the middle and high part of the snow mountain, the temple built on the back of the cliff, a 120-meter-long suspension bridge, is the only way to connect the temple to the road outside.

Incredibly, this suspension bridge seems to be rickety and crumbling every time it passes by, but it has not fallen down for more than 60 years and is still serving well to this day. It is indeed like this temple built deep in the snowy mountains. Generally magical.

Returning to the temple, Albert saw no trace of his guru, but he was not surprised. The guru often traveled away to practice and often would not come back for a week or two. It was normal not to see anyone.

He walked directly back to the room where he lived. Everything was empty except for the wooden floor. When he opened the window and looked out, he could see the endless majestic snow-capped mountains at a glance.

During these seven months, he lived in this room with no bed and only a coffee table. He used the ancient Eastern practice of meditation to cope with his sleep.

However, as the boss of a listed company in the United States, he still needs to make many decisions. In addition to the satellite phone, there is also a laptop on the coffee table that can connect to the international Internet through satellite. Although there is no electricity in this place, the sunshine is strong and it can be charged using solar energy.

Opening his notebook, Albert followed the usual order, first processing emails from the company, and then began to think about some of the company's unresolved problems.

At this moment, an Iridium global maritime satellite phone placed next to the laptop suddenly rang.

Only a few people in his company know this number, and according to common sense, the company will not call this number unless it is an extremely important matter.

Albert grabbed the phone in confusion and found that the number displayed was not a call from the company.

"Well, who is it?"

After answering the phone, Albert asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Albert..."

On the opposite side of the Maritime Satellite Phone, there was some vague noise. The human voice was a bit strange. It was not the tone of normal people's speech. It seemed that a voice changer was used to change it.

"Yesterday you just deleted my email. It seemed like it was rude, right?"

"Who are you……"

Hearing what he said, Albert suddenly remembered that when he was dealing with company documents yesterday, a strange email suddenly came in, saying that there was a test that wanted to invite him to participate.

At that time, he was curious about how the email was interesting and how the other party knew his email address, so he took part in the boring test... Yes, it was a boring test. After completing the second question, he was ranked No. Four people, after completing the third weird question, an email came, asking him to go to Japan.

Inexplicably, Albert lost interest and deleted the email directly.

"Mr. Albert, yes, I am the one who sent you the test question email... Congratulations on passing the three test questions, so I hope you can go to Japan."

Albert became more interested, "Who are you? Why do you want me to go to Japan?"

"In Japan, you will get the answer..."

"Answer, what answer do I need?" Albert refused: "Sorry, I don't know who you are, but I think I have no plans to go to Japan in the near future, so the call will end here."

"Wait a minute... Albert, haven't you been pursuing the combination of human potential and soul? You have been studying transpersonal psychology for ten years, don't you want to know the answer?"

"What did you say?"

Albert was shocked and studied transpersonal psychology. He had never told anyone, not even his wife, so why did this stranger know so clearly? (To be continued ~^~)

PS: Laoyu seems to be surprised in the fourth update? Well, old book friends probably know about Laoyu’s experience of updating every day during the period of the last book. But today, I suddenly had a brain twitch and raised a challenge in the book club group...fourth update? Fifth update? NO, not the fifth update, nor the sixth update, but the seventh update! Laoyu will carry out the seventh update challenge on Sunday this week! Moreover, we will maintain the rhythm of two updates these days! In order to avoid the onset of laziness, I speak here and push myself to a dead end before speaking. I want seven updates! If possible, I would even like to do eight updates on the same day! No monthly ticket is required, and it is not for rewards and recommendations. Laoyu just wants to challenge himself to death. If he dies, he will die. If he dies, everyone will remember to offer incense to Laoyu this time next year.
