Talking About Stocks and Mantras
2008/7/11 11:46:05
First, a bit of sleep-talking: Those who deserve to be dealt with will all be dealt with. Those destined for Mr. Wang will ultimately meet Mr. Wang. Of course, the time hasn't come yet — once the tedious formalities have passed, the real reckoning will arrive. This ID has said nothing — just a passage of sleep-talk, please don't take it seriously.
I need to go for physical therapy this afternoon and won't have time to write a post. My apologies.
Indeed, if your mind is already filled with expectations, then no theory will be of any use — because you can even mistake the white gleam of a blade for moonlight shining beneath a lover's bridge. Yesterday's post came out at noon and was full of content. Most of it was aimed at the long term — things that will benefit you for a lifetime. But among the examples, I also dropped some important short-term hints. Yet very few seem to have noticed. Astonishingly, many people, even as today was obviously going to form a top fractal, were still talking about sector rotation. Granted, this top fractal may not ultimately extend into a stroke, but the risk is theoretically present. Therefore, at this moment, risk must be your number one priority — even if there is rotation, it could be a game of licking blood off a knife's edge.
Stocks are not meals — you won't starve if you miss one session. Theory exists to keep your mind free from the influence of greed and fear. Don't rush in to feast when the blade is clearly showing. Please carefully revisit these two passages: "From this classification, two things are apparent. A statistical count shows that the largest number of stocks are currently being pressed above and below by the 34-day moving average. This tells us that the 34-day line is also under great pressure for the broader index. Since the index hasn't reached that line yet, this hint carries predictive significance."
"Furthermore, since once a stock's trend-level move enters N-category adjustment, it takes at least a considerable period of churning to move to N+1 category, this provides the best choice for rotation. Once a trend-level move shows top divergence at the N category, you can exit first — there are at least several days of stolen pleasure to go find other stocks that have already adjusted and are ready to launch again, or to find laggard stocks."
For example, yesterday afternoon, a certain instrument showed short-term top divergence while approaching a resistance line — what should you do? If that instrument happens to be the market index — what should you do? Note that the post was given at noon — this is a very good real-time case study. Regardless of how you handled it, make sure you remember this example.
Today, unless the afternoon surges dramatically to form an inclusion relationship, this top fractal will be confirmed. Therefore, the most critical factor is the 5-day moving average. If it's not effectively broken, no stroke forms, and the market will make another push at the 34-day line. Otherwise, a stroke-level correction will form, and you should wait for the corresponding short-term bottom divergence before acting.
If you operated correctly yesterday afternoon, you don't need to be torn now. Being torn always comes from getting the rhythm wrong. Therefore, rhythm is an eternal theme. What separates a master from a novice is ultimately tested by rhythm. Rotation is just one form of rhythm, and the most important rhythm is still the buy and sell points. All rhythm must be built on this foundation, and of course rotation is no exception.
Enough about stocks — let's talk about mantras. Yesterday, when this ID brought this up, the faint-hearted might have gotten chills. In fact, mantras are not mysterious. The character "mouth" corresponds to "heart." Two "mouths" — that is, one type of the "subtle mechanism" between two hearts — is the essence of mantras. What is "subtle mechanism"? A finely subtle reaching. In other words, a "mantra" is essentially a non-obviously-visible connection between hearts, and "language" is fundamentally a manifestation of logical relationships. A "mantra" is merely the manifestation of subtle logical connections between hearts.
Mantras can be benevolent or malevolent, powerful or weak. The malevolent mantras practiced by ordinary people generally come from various bizarre entities within the six realms of existence. Powerful benevolent mantras, like the well-known "Great Compassion Mantra," come from Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or practitioners of great accomplishment, and are guarded by numerous upward-aspiring beings within the six realms. Even ordinary practitioners can use them to overcome those malevolent mantras.
Practicing mantras is not easy. The main requirement is continuous repetition — for example, some need to be chanted a million times before achieving minor accomplishment, and then many more times for further breakthroughs. However, mantra practice is actually quite scientific. Anyone can go and verify it, and the results are clearly stratified. There's no room for debate here — you need to actually experiment. Anyone who wants to argue while having only empty talk should first pick a mantra and chant it a million times before speaking.
As for the impact of malevolent mantras on people, it requires too many conditions. For example, the target must be physically very weak, or already in a confused mental state, or someone with a naturally weak psyche who is easily influenced by external forces, and so on. The person casting a malevolent mantra actually takes on great risk — for example, once it's broken, the backlash they receive is N times more intense. So unless there's a deep blood feud or a religious-type fight to the death, very few people play such games, especially against someone whose depth they don't even know.
But some sorcery may have greater efficacy. The reason this ID challenges these evil spirits and demons is, of course, that this ID is all too familiar with them. But I still can't claim to fully understand everything. I truly hope someone can produce some sorcery this ID doesn't know about. All dharmas are equal — how can one vanquish sorcery without understanding it? This is also a form of sacrificing oneself for the Dharma. If there truly exists a type of sorcery I don't know, at worst I'll turn around and come back. Without mastering all dharmas, how can there be true accomplishment?
Of course, this ID will even go so far as to say something bold — this was supposed to be secret, something that shouldn't be revealed. That is: powerful sorcery attacks are actually beneficial for this ID's recovery of my original meditation level. As long as you defeat that sorcery, you at least re-ascend to the corresponding level — this is a shortcut for this ID's quick recovery. The so-called "walking on the blade's edge" — although dangerous, if someone truly has this ability, you'll have to face it sooner or later. Better to lay it out in the open and fight. This follows the same principle as using one's own body as a test subject.
Alright then, evil spirits and demons — bring it on.
