Epilogue

This book could easily have been a much longer one, as the number of cases of Spiritual Divination in which I have been involved - especially the more prevalent type of minor psychic events - is just too numerous. Yet I shall not waste the space here to record every single incident that has happened, as this would result in a work that is less incisive. In the preface, I talked about myself and my love for religious and spiritual matters. My passion for such matters has kept me totally absorbed in their studies and experiences which, in turn, have finally led to the completion of this book. I believe the factual reporting in this work will cause many people to open their mouths in amazement. There are also certain to be people who will look astance at me, with suspicion in their eyes.

But, I assure you, all the events in this book are true. I am absolutely not a person who is good at fabrication or likes to amuse myself by deliberately cheating the reader with my own fantasies.

After finishing this book, you know that I have encountered the most extraordinary events in my life. These experiences may seem like Alice's visits to Wonderland. However, if they were dream events, they should disappear when one awakens. But when I awaken, these events continue manifesting in this marvelous world of humans. I have never bragged about my special psychic or spiritual abilities. I want to be just a simple and ordinary person because, when others doubt me, I feel a great pain in my heart. Why do humans have such an impoverished understanding of their own souls, that they often ridicule the existence of the soul as a superstitious, backward, and impossible idea? We must consider the possibility that there are creatures on other planets who have doubted all along the existence of so-called humans on the planet Earth!

Of course I cannot blame humans for their ignorance; after all, the physical eyes of humans are unable to penetrate into the world of the spirits.

Therefore I will not argue further the issue of whether the soul exists or not as I absolutely believe in its existence. I currently have many friends who love to study the world of spirits. Some of these are Professor Ts'ai Yi Hung and Lecturer Shen Shou Tu from Chung Hsin University, and Professor Hung Yuan Lung from Cheng Kung University. I make friends with humans as well as with spirits. Spirits do not just exist in heavens. They are here on earth too. One can find them at busy marketplaces as well as in the countryside and wilderness. The world of spirits is very close to the world of humans.

What a pitiful thing it is that man is unable to activate the extrasensory faculty that would allow communications between the two worlds!

This book is divided into three sections.

The first section, "Encounters with the World of Spirits," is a record of how I started out as a Christian and, through the opening of my psychic energy, embarked on the path of Taoist cultivation. It also contains the account of how I went from Taoism to the practice of the Buddhadharma.

The second section is "Awakening of the Soul and Spiritual Divination." It discusses methods of how to achieve psychic awakening and how one can channel this energy to probe into the world of spirits and do spiritual divinations.

The third section, "Cases of Channelling and Spiritual Divination," is devoted to case histories of spiritual divination and their outcomes. I had originally planned to include more cases in this section, but I realize that more does not mean better. People who believe, will believe them; people who disbelieve such matters, will still disbelieve. There is not much significance in quoting more examples. If one is interested in learning about these other cases and in getting them published in another book, one may get in touch with me.

I believe in destiny. The occurrence of an event and its outcome are brought about by many causes and conditions.

Can there be no reason at all behind the birth of a man? Is man utterly ignorant about where he is going when he dies? No, there are causes behind every happening. Birth into the human world is death in the world of spirits, and death in the human world is birth of the soul. If one is able to train intensively to awaken one's soul, one's psychic energy, then one can definitely communicate with the world of spirits. However, I have discovered that there exists an important connection between the success rate of a particular person's psychic awakening and that person's previous soul history.

Mr. Three-Peaks-Nine-States is my spiritual teacher. He has taught me to practice Mudras, mantras, the writing of magic charms, psychic training, and Taoist magic. He has contributed greatly to my development from an ordinary person, whose knowledge of the soul was completely blank, to one who will eventually travel freely throughout the ten Dharma realms. Concealed in these transformations is an utmost secret. What is it that enables a man to travel freely through the ten Dharma realms? Can the reader tell what it is? All physical manifestations will eventually return to the invisible realm, and all doctrines being expounded will ultimately become nonexistent.

One can choose to believe or ignore these facts, but it is my belief that if one studies and trains intensively in the awakening of the soul, one can obtain great achievements.

I remember these words from my spiritual teacher,

"In the future, I shall come to meet you. At that time, beyond the clouds, celestial beings will line up to welcome you. Riding on a rainbow banner with feathery canopy, you will soar from the world of men to a realm beyond the heavens. Praises will resound from the four seas, while the five mountain ranges will grieve your departure. As the world loses a guiding light, you shall return to your origin, having traversed three different religions."

Of course I know the meaning behind these words of Mr. Three-Peaks-Nine-States. When I leave this physical realm, I shall definitely follow my spiritual teacher to embark on another adventure. And I shall leave behind in this world a wondrous book, Encounters with the World of Spirits.
