Marvel sensory control

Amelia's mood was a little unstable. Li Yunlong patted her shoulder gently and took the opportunity to inject the calming pill from the Vitality Pill into her body. "We are friends, Amelia, don't forget this. I am voluntarily providing help to you, without any burden." The Dingshen Pill is a very low-level elixir that only functions to calm the qi and calm the mind. However, its advantage is that its properties are neutral and mild, and it is famous for being harmless to the human body. The time is right for Amelia!

Amelia rubbed the moisture at the corners of her eyes, tried to take a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed down her emotions. "I made you laugh, Li. I thought I had enough courage to face any problem at work. This is not the first time I have encountered danger. But there is such a thing as a curse." Amelia did not let go of the steering wheel. She just shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "I really have no choice. Especially after what I saw in the video just now. My colleague, I just realized I was really scared.”

Li Yunlong "Amelia, regarding your situation, as a occult researcher, I can impart my experience to you so that you can learn how to face it."

Amelia "That's great, Lee, thank you."

Li Yunlong took a general look and found that he had not returned to the city yet. There were few vehicles on the road. In addition, it was the middle of the night. As long as he turned on the car lights, he could see it from a distance. Be careful and basically there would be no problem. . You can take advantage of this time to spread some occult knowledge to Amelia. "Amelia, first of all, you have to understand the complexity of 'people'! This complexity is not based on your personal will. This complexity has been determined from the moment you were born as a human! You believe in Christianity, which is different from the Eastern mysticism that I specialize in. I only have a little knowledge of it and don’t have much research. If I explain it to you, it is very likely that There are some mistakes and omissions. So I’m going to say something false and you just listen to it.”

Amelia did not express any objection. Li Yunlong's views may be wrong, but without Li Yunlong, where could she find a reliable person to popularize occult knowledge to her?

Li Yunlong "Christianity advocates the Holy Trinity in theology! In terms of individuals, it emphasizes the original sin that humans have and believes that humans are born with original sin. So Amelia, what do you think is the original sin that humans are born with?"

Amelia was not sure of her answer, so she could only guess, "Original sin probably refers to the seven deadly sins!" The seven deadly sins are a concept proposed by Catholicism and were enumerated by the 13th-century Dominican priest St. Thomas Aquinas. The manifestations of various evil deeds are arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust.

Li Yunlong: "What you said is good, but not complete. Man's original sin includes seven deadly sins, but the seven deadly sins are just a summary of religion. Man's original sin is more complicated than that. You can understand it as human survival instinct!"

Amelia felt that Li Yunlong's views were a bit biased, "Li, since it is a natural instinct of human beings, why is it called original sin?"

Li Yunlong bluntly pointed out the reason: "Of course it's because of the position. The position of religion is never on the side of 'people', it will only be on its own side!"

Amelia: “No! Isn’t religion supposed to be on God’s side?”

Li Yunlong: "Have you read the Dead Sea Document? What does it say? 'There is no god in a big house made of stone'! This sentence actually refers to religion!"

This argument is a bit shocking. It is completely different from the impression Amelia has always formed. Fortunately, Amelia believes in Christianity and is a little loose in this regard. Coupled with the explosion of information in modern society, Amelia Such journalists have developed a big heart in their work, so they can listen to Li Yunlong's fallacies relatively calmly. If he had been a medieval Catholic believer, he would have been burned at the stake just by what Li Yunlong said! "Well, Li, you are an expert in occultism. I think we should still discuss how to overcome fear. We can discuss these religious issues at another time."

Li Yunlong "No problem, Amelia. Fear is a kind of original sin and one of the instincts of human survival. What you need to do is to face fear, embrace it, control it, and treat fear as your own treasure!"

Amelia quickly interrupted Li Yunlong, "Wait a minute, Li, you mean to treat my fear as my treasure?! Didn't you just say that fear is human instinct and the original sin of man? How do you face fear, but Became my treasure?"

Li Yunlong "Look, Amelia, this is the problem. The education you have received, the reactions of people around you when they talk about fear, and various external factors distort your own will. In your heart Branded with distortion! So you have never really faced your fear at all, your perception and judgment of fear are just the distorted brand that was artificially branded!"

Amelia thought for a while according to Li Yunlong's ideas, and felt that Li Yunlong's statement made some sense, but wasn't fear a negative psychology? "Li, even according to what you said, I don't understand the emotion of fear well enough, and it has nothing to do with treasures, right?"

Li Yunlong "That's just because you haven't been able to truly face your own fears!"

Amelia wondered, "Is fear really such a good thing?"

Li Yunlong "Fear itself is neither good nor bad! When we use it effectively instead of fear itself ruling us, fear is our treasure!"

Amelia "Isn't it all fear? I don't see any difference?"

Li Yunlong patiently explained to Amelia, "Amelia, you have not practiced mysticism, and currently you cannot experience the subtle differences personally. I will give you a few simple examples to help you learn from it. Let’s understand it theoretically. To give you a small example, Amelia, do you use knives when cooking in the kitchen? Then when using knives, do you happily use them to cut, cut, stab and insert yourself? Woolen cloth?"

Amelia gave Li Yunlong a roll of her eyes in return, "I'm not a madman, how could I hurt myself with a knife!"

Li Yunlong nodded, "Your choice is also the choice of most people. Because you are afraid that knives will cause harm to yourself, even if you hold a knife in your hand, you will not use it to hurt yourself! This is exactly how to use fear to protect yourself. Purpose!"

Amelia was furious, "Aren't you talking nonsense!..." Amelia was not stupid after all, so after speaking, Amelia closed her mouth and thought carefully about what Li Yunlong said. From a common sense perspective, Li Yunlong’s words are almost nonsense, but what about from a mystical perspective? Or we need to add psychology and biological evolution. The role of fear in it is far beyond the limits that Amelia could have imagined before! The example given by Li Yunlong is very small and only applies to tools. Amelia thinks along this line of thinking, what about other aspects of life? For example, when using electrical appliances, when driving a car, when exercising... If you think about it carefully, you will find that the small examples given by Li Yunlong can be applied to all aspects of life.

Li Yunlong "The example just now is just applied to personal life, just a small example. Now let me give you a big one. Amelia, have you ever thought about what federal laws are maintained on? Let me tell you. Your answer is exactly - fear!"

Amelia disagreed with Li Yunlong’s view that “the majesty of federal laws is maintained by the law enforcement agencies of the federal government!”

Li Yunlong sneered disdainfully, "Rely on the law enforcement agencies of the federal government?" Li Yunlong stretched out a hand and made a small gesture with two fingers, "Not to mention the number of people in the federal government's law enforcement agencies, even if all the federal government's law enforcement agencies are involved, How many people will there be if all employees are taken into account?" He stretched out his hands and made a big gesture, "Compared to the number of federal citizens, what percentage can they account for?" This is not nonsense by Li Yunlong, even if the old American People always criticize the federal government for its overstaffing, bloated structure, and waste of resources. But when it comes to law enforcement departments, no police department in any state dares to brag that it has sufficient police force. No matter what year it is, the slogan is full of insufficient police force. This one!

Amelia couldn't refute Li Yunlong's statement, because what Li Yunlong said were all very clear facts, but Amelia was still aware of the problem. "Li, if fear is really such a treasure, then why have so many years No one has told the public all this?" Amelia doesn't believe that Li Yunlong is the only smart person. Li Yunlong's statement about fear is treasure can make a big news if it is done well, although Amelia He is confident in his professional abilities, but he never dares to underestimate his colleagues, so there must be something in Li Yunlong's statement that he has not noticed, otherwise he would not be known to the public today!

Li Yunlong had no intention of hiding this from Amelia, so he made it clear directly, "Of course it's because of control issues. Amelia, do you know about smoking addiction? When a person is young, or out of curiosity, Either because of imitation or for other reasons, in short, he learned to smoke. A few years later, when he became an adult, he realized that smoking would harm his health, so he began to think of various ways to quit smoking, but the process was not smooth. He always started with hard work, and after a while he started to smoke again. In this way, his efforts to quit smoking accompanied him throughout his life, until he slept in the grave and finally succeeded in quitting smoking." Li Yunlong tapped his head with his finger. "Look , Amelia, even a small thing like quitting smoking is so difficult, let alone wanting to effectively control fear, and even go further to artificially exploit fear! Don’t forget that fear is one of our innate instincts. ! It is completely different from smoking addiction, a bad habit that individuals learn and develop on their own. If fear is out of control, then it is not our treasure! Fear will turn into our nightmare! More cruel than the devil! Than The devil is even more cunning! He follows us like a shadow and cannot escape! Until we finally fall into his clutches!"
