Mind has no physical limitations.
For example, when someone is troubled by a mental disorder, some people may hastily conclude that a spirit has taken possession of that person’s mind. If you fully believe that only your true inner self, Juingong, can lead you, then how could anything else enter you? Even if some ghost were to enter you, you must let go of the thought that they are within you. If you cannot let go of that thought, how can that spirit leave you? Also, why do you think that the spirit or someone else is different from you? Even if a spirit enters you, it’s still like putting one drop of water into a bowl of water. I have said this many times, but people spend years suffering and have many difficulties in their life because they do not release their own fixed ideas.
Mind has no physical limitations. Even if a spirit enters someone and tries to take over, we should understand that every being is still contained within one mind. Why would we consider that spirit’s mind to be separate from our own mind? We can grasp this principle only when we do not view anything as being separate from ourselves. Even if ten spirits enter someone, that person should firmly rely on Juingong, saying within himself or herself, “Since nothing exists separately, Juingong is still my master, no matter who comes in. So, only my Juingong can correctly guide this body.” That single thought of relying on Juingong is more important than performing hundreds of ceremonies.
Also, you should learn how to use your money. Do not pay attention to only making money. If you don’t use your money wisely, then it will be useless and can even become harmful. The difficulties people have in their lives are caused by their level of thinking. They suffer because they’re unaware of the truth, not because they did something bad. I’ve never told anyone that the reason they lack something is because of what they did in the past. With words alone, do not just say, “Even if ten other beings enter inside me, I am still the master of myself. Truly Gwan, truly entrust everything to your inner self, Juingong, with the firm belief that Juingong is taking care of everything so that it all will turn out for the best. Because mind has no physical limitations and is not separate from anything, mind can go and explore anywhere, even beyond the earth and universe.
It is not because the mountain is too high that mind cannot pass over it, and it is not because water is too deep that mind cannot cross over it. It is not because the silver mountains and iron walls are too thick that mind does not penetrate them. Everything depends upon only your mind. All directions are wide open. Let all minds now take the middle path. Taking the middle path means using your mind in not only the visible world, but also in the unseen world, without going to excess on one side or the other.
