Abnormal Thinking¶
In Lifechanyuan terminology, LIFE (capitalized) refers to the ontological essence of existence — the nonmaterial soul-structure that persists across incarnations — while life (lowercase) refers to ordinary human lived experience.
Abnormal Thinking is the foundational method of the Lifechanyuan system — the first key placed in a reader's hand before any other concept is introduced. It is not about being deliberately strange or contrarian, but about making a precise 180-degree turn in thought when conventional thinking reaches a wall, so that what was hidden behind the familiar surface of reality can finally be seen. Lifechanyuan opens with Abnormal Thinking because without it, the mind cannot enter: deeper truths about the universe, LIFE, destiny, and freedom will simply be deflected by habitual thought before they can land.
“Abnormal thinking is the best path for exploring the mysteries of the universe and finding the true meaning of life.” — Xuefeng, The Opportunity and Process of My Abnormal Thinking
