Ability is no match for karma, and karma is no match for volition. Volition is a secret weapon that can greatly influence one's fate. What is volition, and what is the underlying logic that affects one's fate? If one can use volition correctly and accurately, it is equivalent to being reborn.
Let's start with a small multiple-choice question. Intuitively, which of the following two sets of wishes do you think is easier to achieve, more likely to receive help from others, and encounter less resistance? The first wish is "I want to get rich and earn a lot of money." The second wish is "I want to get rich and earn a lot of money, and then I have a detailed plan to sincerely help more people escape poverty and live a good life like mine." The third wish is "I want my son to be admitted to a good university." The fourth wish is "I want my son to be admitted to a good university, enhance his personal abilities, contribute better to others, and bring positive changes to society." I believe that no matter what social class or level you are, your intuition will tell you that the second and fourth wishes are easier to achieve because the former is called greed, while the latter is called volition.
What is volition? Simply put, it is the strong manifestation ability to make your wishes come true by injecting energy into them through thoughts, language, and actions when you are in a state of flow with your intentions.
Note that there are several key points in this sentence. The first key point is that volition must be a positive intention, which means that the focus of this wish must be beneficial to lifelong friendship. What you gain is only a kind of incidental byproduct, and your volition is not about satisfying personal greed and seeking external gains. Otherwise, it will be ineffective or face great resistance, making it difficult to achieve. This is a common mistake that many people make. They are well aware of the powerful effect of volition, but they use it incorrectly because they do not understand the underlying logic of how volition works.
The second key point is that volition must be achieved under the guidance of conscious awareness, not through brain thinking. This may be difficult to understand. It is important to distinguish who is making efforts and exerting force: is it your conscious awareness or your brain thinking? Conscious awareness does not judge; it only enjoys the process of doing what it loves. On the other hand, brain thinking repeatedly calculates gains and losses, and acts deliberately. You must have seen many people who achieve things effortlessly, as if they effortlessly accomplish them, while others work hard and struggle but make little progress. The subtle difference will be experienced sooner or later, even if it is not understood for the time being.
The third key point is that under the correct usage, volition has a super strong ability to manifest desires. There is a saying that "supernatural powers are no match for karma, and karma is no match for volition." Even if you have supernatural abilities, you cannot escape the framework set by karma. However, volition can change karma. It is real, not illusory. You must treat volition with a sense of awe and reverence.
So why does volition have such strong manifestation ability? What is the underlying logic of how volition works? This part is the focus of this article. Once you comprehend it, you will have an awakening. What I want to tell you is that the universe, the world, all living beings, and lifelong friendships are a community of destiny. The level of connection between them far exceeds what our naked eyes can see. Everything is happening in the quantum field that we cannot see or perceive. You can say that you are me, and I am you. You are another me, and I am another you. If you are well, I am well. If you are not well, I will not be well either. Don't think of yourself as an isolated and special existence. The truth is that everything that happens to you, including the existence of human beings, is the result of countless causes and conditions. There are endless causes before a reason, and endless results after a result. The connection between lifelong friendships is so close, and the law of cause and effect operates so perfectly. Therefore, if you want to bring about positive changes in yourself, start by bringing about positive changes in the external world and lifelong friendships. And in the process, be sure to shut down the brain thinking that likes to calculate gains and losses, and let conscious awareness take the lead. Be fully focused, fully engaged, immersed in it, and enjoy it. Enter the mysterious state of conscious flow. When you do things in this way, they will become effortless and produce infinite creativity and perfect essence. Just imagine, on this correct path, volition will easily manifest everything you desire, and what you receive will only be incidental byproducts. Even if they are byproducts, they can bring you joy and abundance. This is the underlying logic of how volition works, and this is the core reason why volition can influence one's fate.
What I am talking about is not at all novel, because our ancestors realized it long ago. Wang Yangming's Neo-Confucianism is very profound, and its core is that the mind is the principle, the conscience is the guide, and knowledge and action are integrated. What is the mind as the principle? It means that human beings have inherent infinite superpowers, and they can have whatever they want. They just need to stimulate them in the right way. What is the conscience as the guide? It means that after you comprehend the essence of the unity of all things in the universe and the law of cause and effect, you generate volition based on the overall best interests and optimal action strategies of lifelong friendships. Therefore, conscience is a super strong volition, and volition is a profound conscience. What is the integration of knowledge and action? Under the guidance of the grand volition, people fully engage, fully immerse themselves in a state of flow as if they were intoxicated, and push forward, manifest, and achieve, ultimately fulfilling their life missions and values. My friend, if you can see this, it means you have embarked on the journey of awakening. I hope you can give it a thumbs up and bookmark it. Your actions may bring hope to tens of thousands of people.
