Hearing Robert say this, Alan couldn't help but interject: "I have often encountered the situation you said before, not only when gambling, every time I lost all my money, I swore that I would never enter the casino again, but when I had the money in my hand, I couldn't help but run to the casino, thinking that I couldn't go, but my legs were disobedient, and I unconsciously entered the casino again." Hey, I don't know how many times this kind of situation has happened, I just can't control myself!"

"Haha...... Aaron is telling the truth this time. This is a common problem among gamblers. Robert said with a smile, because he had seen too much in the casino because of this situation, "I'll give you another example, in the dark of night, when you are faced with a corpse, your heart tells yourself that this person is dead, there is nothing to be afraid of, and you know that nothing will happen at all, but you are still terrified in your heart, and you have a feeling that you can't help but want to run away." ”

"That's right, when a person feels fear, he can't help but want to leave quickly. Wuwei nodded.

"There are so many examples like this, everyone knows that smoking is harmful to the body, but countless people still smoke. And the murderers, don't they know they're committing a crime? Of course they know, but they can't control their actions. There are also many behaviors that cannot be controlled by reason, such as overeating by fat people, shopaholism by women, Internet worms obsessed with the Internet, as well as drug addiction, alcoholism, etc., so it is impossible to control your behavior with your brain. ”

Wuwei was speechless by Robert, he couldn't find a reason to oppose Robert's remarks, some things he has experienced, it is indeed as Robert said, but he never thought about it, Wuwei thought for a while, and asked Robert: "Then what do you say is controlling our behavior?"

"Emotions are the emotions in the heart that control everyone's behavior. Many behaviorists have pointed out that people are emotional creatures, and when reason and emotion collide, it is often emotion that prevails. It is also said that both men and women are directed by the heart, not the brain. In fact, our behavior is largely governed by our emotions. That is, inner emotions control our behavior. Robert said very firmly.

"How do emotions arise? Isn't it true that emotions are not generated by the brain?" Wu Wei began to break the sand pot and asked in the end, thinking that emotions never arise out of thin air.

Robert guessed the meaning of Wu Wei, and he smiled and said, "It's really not generated by the brain, if you can experience it carefully, you can feel that emotions don't come from our minds, but from the depths of our hearts." Emotions usually manifest themselves in two categories, one is beneficial to our development, called constructive emotions, there are joy, enthusiasm, happiness, satisfaction, excitement, love, romance, and so on. One is detrimental to our development, called destructive emotions, with anger, fear, jealousy, greed, grief, frustration, loneliness, and so on. In our inner world, no matter what emotion is generated, it is an interpretation of something or action by the inner self.

"Our inner interpretations of things and behaviors are not innate, but are instilled and learned as we grow up. For example, the fear of things such as darkness and corpses is something that we were instilled with superstitions about how ghosts, monsters, and spirits can harm people when we were children. A corpse can cause a great sense of fear in ordinary people, but it will not cause any sensation in the medical examiner. From this point, it can also be concluded that emotions can be controlled, and learning to control one's emotions can then control one's behavior. ”

Robert is worthy of being a master's student studying medicine, and he talked a lot, and he didn't know if Wuwei understood, Wuwei pondered for a while, and couldn't help but say: "I heard you talk so much, and I still don't understand what the connection is with Zhou Gong asking me to recite the Tao Te Ching?"

"The biggest impact on emotions is the mentality, it can be said that what kind of mentality, what kind of emotions will be generated, I guess the real purpose of Zhou Gong to let you recite the Tao Te Ching is to cultivate your good attitude and your humanity. ”

Wuwei listened to Robert's words, and suddenly a bright light crossed his heart, and he gradually realized the profound intention of the gambling saint.

Robert went on to say: "Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching contains infinite philosophies, and it also embodies the concept of our Chinese nation overcoming rigidity with softness, and advocates softness throughout the text. 'The softest in the world, the strongest in the world, the softer than the water, and the strong can win, the weak is stronger than the strong, the soft is better than the strong, the good is like water, the water is good for all things without fighting. 'If you can fully understand these words, and you can do all this, what else cannot be overcome?'

Robert's words made Wu Wei pause, he said excitedly: "Thank you Robert, thank you very much, you let me understand Zhou Gong's intentions, 'good is like water, water is good for all things without fighting', if you can have such a mentality, what else can not be controlled? The most difficult thing for people to control is the word 'greed', no wonder Zhou Gong said that when I understand the Tao Te Ching, I passed this level. ”

"This is just a little content contained in the "Tao Te Ching", the eighty-one articles in it cover the country, politics, military, society, life and other aspects, if you can really integrate the "Tao Te Ching" into your heart, through your behavior, what kind of world is not at your disposal?"

"Robert, I still don't understand why Zhou Gong wants me to spend three months studying the Tao Te Ching, not only to memorize but also to copy, and to do nothing else, is it necessary?" asked Wuwei incomprehensibly.

"I guess Zhou Gong's purpose in doing this is to brainwash you. It can also be said to change your mind. Everything in our minds is learned, and what kind of content a person learns will form what kind of thoughts. Therefore, a person's mind is not fixed, when you receive a lot of new information, this information will stay in your brain, and over time new thoughts will be formed, and these contents will enter your subconscious. In fact, it is only when every new piece of information enters the subconscious that it can really affect people's behavior and other aspects. The change of the subconscious mind takes time and has a process, and Zhou Gong asked you to copy and recite the Tao Te Ching in large quantities in three months, just to let your subconscious mind accept it, so as to influence and control everything about you. ”

"I didn't expect that Zhou Gong's second level training was so well-intentioned, I must live up to Zhou Gong's expectations and cultivation!" Speaking of this, Wu Wei's face was suddenly full of expectation, "To be honest, I really want to know what Zhou Gong's third level is now?"

"From the first two levels proposed by Zhou Gong, it can be seen that he is a real gambling saint, such a training method is definitely something that no one can think of, and his third level cannot be guessed at all. If you do nothing, you just complete the second level seriously, and you will become the top master in the casino. I really can't imagine what kind of level you can reach after Zhou Gong cultivates you? ”

When Alun heard Robert's words, he stood up excitedly and said excitedly: "If the eldest brother is really invincible in the world, he will lead us to sweep all the casinos in the world and let them taste our power." Damn, I've really made the casino miserable, and I'll be angry at that time. ”

"Haha...... If it is really like what you said, Wuwei will be on the blacklist of casinos, and some casinos will ban him, and make you raise your eyebrows?" Before Robert finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wuwei: "I know why Zhou Gong is so low-key, with his gambling skills, no casino will welcome him in, only in this way will he not be noticed by the casino." ”

"It's entirely possible, I found out that he never won more than 10,000 yuan in a casino, and the time was only more than ten minutes, he must have been afraid of attracting the attention of the casino. Robert agrees with the argument of inaction.

Wu Wei smiled and said to the two: "We don't have to think about the long term for now, the current task is to start completing the training of the second level." ”

"Wuwei, I seem to have a feeling that there are other things going on from your beginning, are there any other things that you have encountered in Atlantic City?" Robert's bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Yes, there are a few things that are very puzzling. Wu Wei simply told the Hualong Gang and Zhou Gong other things.

Robert was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "You are right to reject the Hualong Gang, this Hualong Gang has a bad reputation in the Chinese circle, and they can do anything for money." Zhan Xiongfei wants to buy colorful tea cups, which is really confusing. ”

"I vaguely feel as if there is some secret hidden in the master's body?" Wuwei said softly.

"Don't guess, everyone has more or less secrets, and with the passage of time, many secrets will be solved by themselves, so you should settle down to study the Tao Te Ching. ”
