Nepal, thirty km north of Manaslu Peak.

The brilliant light of the blue sun shrouded the continuous snow-capped mountains, reflecting a dizzying white light. In this area where the temperature is below minus 20 degrees Celsius, except for the snow-capped mountains, it is difficult to see anyone passing here. As a no-man's land with harsh conditions, not to mention tourists, even the local Gurkha people do not dare to go deep into this place.

Albert, who had been practicing here for seven months, was deeply touched by this, and during these seven months, he had not seen any outsiders except for the monks who came every three months to deliver some necessary supplies.

But that's exactly what he needs.

Since 10 years ago, Albert has been fascinated by transpersonal psychology, a school of psychology that emerged in the United States in the 70s of the last century, and so far it has not been thoroughly perfected into a complete system, and few people have really studied it in depth. The theoretical core of this school of psychology lies in the theory of consciousness, which divides human consciousness into four levels, namely the spiritual layer, the existence layer, the self layer, and the shadow layer, each of which represents a different understanding of the ontology of the individual.

Its theory is based on humanism, the study is the combination of the human mind and the physical level, is based on ancient Greek philosophy, Chinese traditional philosophy, modern philosophy, Taoist thought, Buddhist theory, ancient Indian Sanskrit, yoga, meditation, Sufi Esoteric Buddhism can be used to study, and because it involves the development of potential at the physical level, understand the self, and surpass the requirements of the self, so Taoist Qigong, Indian yoga, Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism is the assistant to study the body and mind.

In the past ten years, although Albert has made a great breakthrough at the theoretical level, he has not made progress at the physical level, as for the realm of transcending himself and seeing the light of the soul. I didn't even touch the edge.

Seven months ago, Albert was introduced by a friend to Nepal's Manaslu Peak, 30 kilometres north of Mount Manaslu, where on a towering snow-capped mountain there was a temple built in the fifties of the last century, although it looked dilapidated. The conditions were also extremely harsh, but there lived a monk who was over 117 years old......

Before that, Albert could not believe that the monk would be one hundred and seventeen years old, because he looked like he was only in his sixties.

But a month later, Albert had to believe it.

This monk, who believes in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism but is proficient in ancient yoga, has miraculous bodily functions. In the pit of ice and snow, he did not eat or drink for two weeks, so much so that Albert thought he was already dead. Albert was deeply shocked when he saw the monk come out intact two weeks later.

This kind of scene, which violates the common sense of human beings, is too shocking when it is staged in front of oneself.

Albert had no doubts about this, and willingly began his own spiritual path.

For the first month, he sat on the edge of a snow-capped mountain. Looking down at the canyon glaciers thousands of meters high, and up there are vast blue skies. To the left and right is a bone-chilling wind blowing.

And then red. Topless, wearing only a thin pair of pants underneath, Albert closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Although he has a very strong physique, in the temperature close to minus 20 degrees Celsius, meditating in the cold wind with his bare upper body is completely a bit of a death-seeking behavior. It was less than half a minute. Albert turned blue and had to stop meditating.

For the next few months, he struggled with nature in the cold wind, using the breathing techniques he had learned from his teacher, and Albert persevered longer and longer.

Up to the present in the seventh month. He had been able to endure the cold wind for a full five hours without much effort.

"Bang!"

With a stick in hand, Albert swung up and down on the edge of the cliff, scurrying into the room, and the slightest mistake was to fall into the canyon glacier and be crushed. However, taking advantage of the great terror between life and death, Albert's mental and physical union became more and more complete, and he only felt that as his practice deepened, his eyesight and ear power became stronger and stronger.

The most incredible thing is that his tired mind has also been relieved and relaxed, and he is more peaceful, as if nothing in the world can alarm him anymore.

As usual, after two hours of exercising on the edge of the cliff, Albert returned the same way in sweat.

Halfway up the mountain back to the middle and high part of the mountain, the temple built on the back of the cliff, a 120-meter-long suspension bridge, is the only way to connect the temple with the outer road.

Incredibly, this suspension bridge seems to be rickety, and it seems to be crumbling every time it passes, but it has not fallen down for more than 60 years, and it is still in good service, and it is indeed as magical as this temple built in the depths of the Great Snow Mountain.

Returning to the temple, Albert was not surprised to see no sign of his master, who often traveled away from home and often did not return for a week or two, and it was normal not to see anyone.

He walked straight back to the room where he lived, all empty except for the wooden floor, from which he opened the window and looked out, he could see the endless majestic snow-capped mountains at a glance.

For the past seven months, he lived in this room with no bed and only a coffee table, and slept in the same way as the ancient meditation of the Oriental practice.

However, as the owner of a listed company in the United States, there are many decisions that still need to be decided, yes, and in addition to the satellite phone on the coffee table, there is also a notebook that can be connected to the Internet by connecting satellites. There is no electricity in this place, but the sunlight is strong, and it can be recharged by solar energy.

Opening his notebook, Albert worked on the e-mails from the company in the usual order, and then began to think about the company's unresolved issues.

At this moment, next to the notebook was an Iridium global maritime satellite phone, but it suddenly rang.

Only a small number of people in his company can know this number, and according to common sense, the company will not call this number unless it is an extremely important matter.

Albert grabbed the phone in confusion and found that the number was not a call from the company.

"Well, who is it?"

Answering the phone, Albert asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Albert......"

On the other side of the Inmarsat phone, there was a faint noise, and the human voice in it was a little strange, not the tone of a normal person's speech, as if it had been changed like this by using a voice changer.

"You deleted my email yesterday, as if it was rude?"

"You ......"

Hearing him say this, Albert suddenly remembered that yesterday when he was working on company documents, an unfamiliar email was suddenly inserted, saying that there was a test that he wanted to invite to participate.

He was curious about the fun of the email and how the other party knew his email address, so he took part in the boring test...... Yes, it was a boring test, and after completing the second question, he was ranked fourth, and then after completing the third strange question, an email came inviting him to Japan.

Inexplicably, Albert lost interest and deleted the email directly.

"Yes, Mr. Albert, I'm the one who sent you the test email...... Congratulations on passing the three test questions, so I hope you can travel to Japan. ”

Albert was a little more interested, "Who are you?" Why should I travel to Japan? ”

"In Japan, you'll get the answer......"

"Answer, what answer do I need?" Albert refused, "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are, but I don't think I have any plans to go to Japan anytime soon, so let's stop the call." ”

"Wait...... Albert, aren't you always looking for the combination of human potential and mind? You've been studying transpersonalpsychology for ten years and don't want to know the answer? ”

"What did you say?"

Albert was shocked and studied transpersonal psychology, he had never told anyone, not even his wife, why did this stranger know so well? (To be continued.) )

PS: The four old fish seem to be surprised? Well, old book friends probably know the experience of the old fish every day during the last book. And today, I suddenly had a brain twitch, and I put forward a challenge in the book friend group...... Four more? Five more? NO, it's not the fifth watch, it's not the sixth watch, it's the seventh watch!

The old fish will have a seven-watch challenge this Sunday! And, these days will maintain the premise of the rhythm of two more!

In order to avoid lazy cancer attacks, I will speak here and push myself to a dead end.

I want seven more! If I could, I would even like to hit the eighth watch of the day!

There is no need for a monthly pass, and it is not for rewards and recommendations, the old fish is to challenge themselves to death, die and die, and everyone remember to incense the old fish at this time next year.
