Metaphysics) and Supernatural Phenomena

4. "玄学" (Metaphysics) and Supernatural Phenomena

Metaphysics is not a peripheral topic but a core analytical tool the speaker uses to interpret events from personal finance to geopolitics.

Tieban Shenshu (Iron Plate Divine Numbers): The speaker frequently discusses this form of divination. He has endorsed one practitioner, Jiang Dingchuan, noting that while not perfect, he has provided life-altering, accurate readings for some followers. Conversely, he has harshly criticized another practitioner, "Wudao," as an unskilled charlatan.
I Ching (Book of Changes): He recounts a humorous anecdote from a viewer who used the I Ching (with toothpicks as yarrow stalks) in a KTV to divine that he should not buy a prostitute a gold bracelet, an act that both saved him money and impressed the woman.
Christian Precognition: He shares a detailed account from a Protestant Christian viewer who, through prayer and listening to specific music, receives precognitive visions. The viewer shared a vision of the Taiwan conflict: Taiwan's defenses will "disappear and sink," while China only brandishes a "small toy gun," after which peace is restored.

Contact with Ghosts: Multiple accounts from viewers describe interactions with ghosts and spirits. One notable story involves a 93-year-old Korean War veteran who, after a near-death experience, gained the ability to see and converse with ghosts daily. The speaker posits that this man's "third eye" was opened and that he will likely become a local guardian spirit after his predicted death.
Possession and Exorcism: The death of one viewer's brother is attributed to possession (鬼上身), as his business was located near a graveyard for those who died unnaturally. Another account details a colleague's experience with a severe "ghost pressing" (鬼压床), which was resolved after two divine beings appeared in a dream and repelled the malevolent spirit.

The speaker consistently interprets major life events as part of a larger, spiritually balanced system.

The Case of the Lost 30 Bitcoins: A viewer lost her life savings of 30 bitcoins in a cryptocurrency exchange collapse. The speaker's primary analysis is metaphysical: she lost the money around the same time she gave birth to a "precious" child. This financial loss was a necessary karmic balancing act; had she kept the money, the child's fate might have been endangered.
Personal Application: The speaker applies this logic to his own life, stating that his loss of a multi-billion RMB fortune was the necessary precondition for him to have his son, as his original fate, according to his own Tieban Shenshu reading, was to be childless.
Philosophical Concepts: He introduces his interpretations of key concepts:
- 舒畅 (**shūchàng** - comfortable/relaxed): He deconstructs the characters to mean "to give away" (舍予) and "the body changes/adapts" (身易), suggesting true comfort comes from letting go and adapting.
- 法 (**fǎ** - law/method): He deconstructs this character to mean "water goes" (水去), signifying that the correct path is to flow like water, finding balance and peace by seeking the lowest point.
