4.2 Stories of Meditation

One day in September 1975, Uncle Liang went home to visit his family and came to our house again to tell me a story. Once upon a time, there was a person who, for some unknown reason, could always hear many strange sounds; and she listened. she could even hear butterflies flying. Before going to sleep, she could hear her heart beating, and she could hear whistling, hissing, ticking, whimpering, and so on. Later, she could hear, someone talking to her, someone calling out to her, telling her something, someone discussing a problem like a meeting, birds chirping, water running, frogs calling, the wind blowing in the caves, the sound of rain, thunder, anything. At this point she was like crazy, always hearing all kinds of sounds, but she continued to listen. Listening and listening, she understood, and obtained Celestial Ear Through (i.e., Clairaudience) and achieved the correct fruit (i.e., the four shamanic fruits: cf. section 15.2.6).

Uncle Liang also told me many methods of practicing meditation, such as staring at burning incense, lotus flower contemplation, fisting well, and so on. Although I was fascinated by these methods of practicing meditation, I did not practice anything out. About the time I was in the fourth grade of elementary school (12 years old), I bought myself a meditation book called "The Method of Operating True Air," and began to practice according to what was said in the book, and soon I had the feeling of true air and began to really practice meditation until I was 19 years old. In this book, I have concentrated and edited my experiences of practicing meditation in Chapter 12.

In 2014, after I wrote my memoirs, I learned that Uncle Liang had been instructed by Troupe Leader Liu to tell me stories. All of which were famous juristic cases in Buddhism, and I also learned that Troupe Leader Liu had known that I was an "image-thinking type of person" since I was one year old. The previous case of “Guanyin (i.e., Viewing Sounds) Bodhisattva (fig. 4.2-1)” practicing meditation, she is word-thinking person, is not practical for my meditation practice. Why did Troupe Leader Liu choose this case, which is an obstacle for me, to induce me to practice meditation?

So, I consulted the archetype of the Guanyin Boddhisattva, the Sumerian Queen Kubaba (as in Illustration 4.2-2). She has auspicious clouds under her feet, indicating that she is a Migration Sky, i.e., she is a word-thinking person, i.e., a voice-thinking person. She has two sunflowers on her hat, indicating that she is Eve. So, I realized that Troupe Leader Liu was telling me that her daughter, Eve Liu, is a Guanyin Boddhisattva type of person, and that I will understand her if I study some Guanyin Boddhisattva. The Gold Boy (i.e., Adam) and Jade Girl (i.e., Eve) are two basic models of classical psychology. As shown in the right illustration of the two sets of godly Trinities (cf. section 10.9 Godly Trinity) that the author I devised.
