About half a year ago, I came across the Tianya Shen Tie, mainly because the high-quality posts that emerged after the original Tianya community shut down were indeed impressive, covering a wide range of topics such as finance, traditional Chinese studies, emotions, and human nature.

There are many versions available, some with three hundred, five hundred, or even a thousand posts, which can be quite dazzling. Later, I discovered that there were even paid sharing groups. The fee wasn't much, so I joined since it was organized by others; spending money to save time is worthwhile.

The result was a collection group of various topics like thick black theory, imperial strategy, personal development, and a hodgepodge of other things. Overall, it’s about success studies, and there are more types than those available on the market. I understand the principle of "too much to chew," so I only picked what I was interested in to read.

On a side note, the files shared seemed like some kind of confidential documents; you could see phrases like "encrypted," "confidential document," and "uncensored version," which is quite funny. "I need to save this quickly, or it will be deleted; the download is so slow, I should get a membership!"

The content is good, but there’s a lot of fluff. A clear-headed person can take a look, but they must use their own judgment. The world is not just black and white; one should not harbor ill intentions, but one should also be cautious of others.

In fact, I believe that thick black theory misleads people; there are no good people left in the world. I think the following words I copied from Douban are sufficient:

"This book's promotion feels very cult-like, haha. Although I know it’s probably not true, I still want to see what kind of medicine it’s selling in its gourd.

I won’t buy the physical book; I saw there’s an electronic version on WeChat Reading, so I thought flipping through it wouldn’t hurt.

After reading it, I find it hard to say. It does have a superficial aspect, but what it advocates does have some usefulness. This kind of discussion always reminds me of Wang Yangming's 'there is nothing outside the heart.'

Of course, for me, some of the things it provided are indeed what I need. Because the book is quite fluffy, I’ll try to extract some solid points for everyone; the rest can be ignored since they are just repetitive phrases.

Here we go:

1. Consciousness determines matter; there is nothing outside the heart.

2. Good consciousness leads to good matter, and vice versa.

3. Since consciousness is determined by yourself, you need to control your consciousness.

4. You should maintain positive energy and happiness because these emotions have a high frequency, which will attract high-frequency things like health, wealth, and love.

5. What you think is what you will get; if you worry, what you worry about will happen; if you hope, what you hope for will happen.

6. Focus on good things: health, happiness, wealth, love.

7. Learn to filter out negative emotions.

8. Use your imagination; only by first imagining something will it truly appear.

(I agree with this point. Watching documentaries, like the one about Jobs and Apple, he initially designed the first computer by imagining the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and host all in one box. Then he imagined the mouse operating a visual desktop; first, he envisioned a scene, then he put it into practice.)

(When Jack Ma started his business, he also imagined his success, firmly believing in it, first visualizing that scene, then working hard for it.)

(A characteristic of the entrepreneurs in the documentary 'American Business Tycoons' is that innovation is important, but innovation means creating something that didn’t exist before, which relies on imagination. Carnegie built the first steel bridge across the Mississippi River, firmly believing he could succeed, believing there were no problems, believing he was right, believing he was just. What others say doesn’t matter; as long as you think it’s right, it is.)

9. To realize your imagination, imagine it in great detail, and practice and execute it firmly. It must be implemented in action, materially.

In summary, human consciousness is indeed magical. Sometimes, you will have different feelings, mainly due to a change in perspective. You may start as a timid person, getting nervous while speaking, unable to articulate clearly, trembling. But when you prepare seriously and express what you want to say normally, you realize public speaking is not that difficult. You build a kind of confidence, feeling that you can handle that scene, and afterward, you are no longer nervous.

Did you change? Did the audience change? Did the scene change? None of them changed.

Your mindset changed.

What previously prevented you from speaking well was your own fear, your own mindset, the wall you built for yourself. The objective fact is that public speaking is just that: a bunch of people come to listen to you speak, and you articulate your thoughts clearly to convey them to others, that’s all.

What makes you nervous is yourself.

So, here’s the inspiration:

1. Learn a bit of psychology.

2. Distinguish what burdens you’ve added to yourself, which actually don’t exist.

3. Actively use the power of imagination to give yourself positive psychological suggestions.

4. Focus on what you want; the more you desire and clarify it, the better, because your actions will unconsciously follow and seek it.

5. The more you think, the more it becomes your conscious mind; your conscious mind is at work, gradually influencing your subconscious, and your subconscious is your instinctive reaction, reflecting your personality and preferences.

6. Combining this with knowledge of fate can also explain it, as different birth dates determine the state of the universe at the moment you were born, which then reflects on you, forming your character and personality traits. Character determines destiny; character determines your choices at various points in life, your thoughts, your actions, and then your actions become your experiences, which is your destiny.

7. Overcoming your own character is not easy because, just like when you’re tired and want to sleep, if you give yourself a pillow, you will definitely sleep; that’s your habit, subconscious, an inevitable behavior.

8. Therefore, you should strive to discover your own character's operating program, what characteristics it has, what bugs it has, what triggers the plot automatically; if it’s good, that’s great; if it’s not, you need to find a way to cut off that program.

9. The process of cutting off is somewhat similar to human self-discipline, going against human nature, self-reflection, just not following the normal human behavior patterns. Then, after self-discipline, think about what path you want and execute it entirely as you wish.

That’s all. Let’s encourage each other."

This is a version of the Tianya Shen Tie 300 that I found online.

As for the sharing group, it’s awkward because it continues to update intentionally and is on Baidu Cloud, which is quite annoying. I also don’t have time to update this since I mainly record transactions.
