33. The Last Time

A few years ago, a foreign company that a friend worked for arranged a company trip to Brunei during the annual leave vacation, allowing employees to bring family members (at their own expense). His wife was excited about the overseas trip, while he complained about the ‘tiresome journey and the ‘extra cost’, causing some arguments between the couple.

I asked him, “Have you decided to go?”

He replied, “Yes, the money has been paid, and the tickets were booked.”

I told him, “Then enjoy the journey and stop complaining, because complaints benefit no one and nothing. Besides, this is your last time to go to Brunei.”

He was taken aback: "It's my first time, how can it be the last? I can go again if I want."

Later, my friend told me, "That trip was very pleasant, like a honeymoon. Thanks to your reminder.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have appreciated the journey so conscientiously. Looking back, although it was the first time to go to Brunei, it could also be the last. I may not go there again. "

 

For tourism, many places are visited only once, and it becomes the last time. In fact, it is not only for tourism.

 

When my distant cousin was young, he decided to venture out against the family’s wishes. Persuasions were useless, like a couple who decide to elope. Objections only make them more determined. He did not go home for the first two years, hoping to return after making some money. Now he has settled down in a big city. When bringing up this experience, he regrets one thing-his mother had a sudden stroke in his second year away. When he rushed home, she had already passed away. He said, “When I left home, I even did not eat the breakfast my mother made and left in a huff. I never expected that morning to be the last time I saw my mother.”

 

Every day, we go to work, hang out with friends, go on trips together and visit parents during holidays. Life seems ordinary, but many things, inadvertently, become the last time. What if you knew that it was the last time? You would cherish those sunrises and sunsets, treasure the seemingly ordinary companionship, ponder life choices more deeply. Your interaction and balance with life would be better, your Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) will improve gradually in this process and you will understand kindness and love.

 

Some people might say, “It’s worth cherishing the last time of good things. If it is a bad thing, I can’t wait for it to be the last time.” This is incorrect. People need to reflect first: how do you define “good” and “bad”? Have you broken the Xiang (Manifestation)? Otherwise, you cannot distinguish good from bad, you cannot cherish good thing and bad thing are endless. Limitation of Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) is the source of misfortune. After your Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) improves, your perception of “good and bad” will be drastically different. Both “good thing” and “bad thing” are life experiences. Experience and cherish “good things” and learn to be grateful; Experience and learn through “bad things” and gain growth.

 

The previous chapters, “Developing Jue (Perception)”, “Who is in the present”, discussed living in the present. This chapter tells everyone: realizing “the last time” is also a key to living in the present.

 

I went to the south to visit a friend and we were full of emotion for the reunion. I normally do not drink, but I went to the friend’s home and drank beer and then red wine. I knew that this reunion might be the last time in that city and in this life. ‘Did I live in that moment?’ When I look back, if the answer is affirmative, there will be less regret. Learn to project Jue (Perception) Shi (Cognition) in every present moment, and living in the present is just that simple.

 

There is another “last time” that you may not be aware of. Look at yourself in the mirror. You should know that you under this Physical Body is also the last time. The next life is not you, just as you are not the one in your previous life.

 

The length of a life varies, we will eventually face 'the last time'. For you, the opportunity of learning Yiology is also the last time. 

Yi refers to the information from high frequency civilization that this book transmits.

Yiology is a means of practice of the information of Yi on the Earth.

Yi is not to make you believe, but to teach you how to question!
