Advanced Refinement (Internal Version)¶

Overview¶

Advanced Refinement is the highest tier of Lifechanyuan's three-stage refinement system. Its purpose is refining xing (nature) — stripping away impurities to restore the original qualities the Greatest Creator gave to life, building a celestial life-structure, and ascending to higher life spaces. Building on Elementary Refinement (refining perception) and Intermediate Refinement (refining the heart), it works through ten practices and ultimately enables the practitioner to explore the antimatter world, commune with the subconscious (the universe), and achieve the celestial state.

I. Core Definition¶

Advanced Refinement

The purpose is to refine xing (nature). Through counter-conventional thinking, daring imagination, doing things in reverse, and negating ordinary life, one ultimately walks alongside celestial beings (immortals and buddhas) and enters the immortal realm.

Xing refers to the original characteristics of the genetic structure that the Greatest Creator designed for humans — called "wisdom root" in Buddhism and "spiritual energy" or "spiritual nature" in immortal traditions. This nature was originally absolutely pure, with no impurities. If this spiritual nature could be maintained, humans would not get sick, grow old, or die — they could live forever. But because the craftsmanship of the angels who created humans according to the Greatest Creator's "blueprint" was not perfect, impurities were mixed into human nature, causing imperfection. The more imperfect one's human nature, the more one develops toward lower life spaces; the more perfect, the more one develops toward higher life spaces.

Refining xing means gradually eliminating the impurities mixed into one's original nature through cultivation, restoring the original characteristics bestowed by the Greatest Creator.

Advanced Refinement is cultivation after reaching the state of an immortal. As long as you still hold concepts of parents, children, family, ethnicity, and nation in your heart; as long as you have not yet tasted all the bitterness and sweetness of human society; as long as you have not read the Bible, the Quran, Buddhist scriptures, and the Tao Te Ching, you cannot practice. There is currently no such person in human society, so I have no need to explain further.

II. The Three-Stage System¶

Lifechanyuan's path beyond space-time consists of three stages of refinement: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

Elementary Refinement — purpose is to refine perception (shi). Through seeing through life, discarding illusions, returning to simplicity, and developing human nature...

Intermediate Refinement — purpose is to refine the heart (xin). Through calming, stopping, governing, correcting, emptying, stabilizing, purifying, and completing the heart...

Advanced Refinement — purpose is to refine nature (xing). Through counter-conventional thinking, daring imagination, doing things in reverse, and negating ordinary life, ultimately walking alongside celestial beings and entering the immortal realm.

Advanced practice, refinement, and health cultivation are almost at the same level. They rely mainly on three things: music, heart images, and intention.

III. Prerequisites for Entry¶

We must now enter the state of Advanced Refinement. Advanced Refinement is a bone-deep transformation of the self. The basic requirement for entering Advanced Refinement is to be in resonance with Lifechanyuan's philosophy. Without this, it will harm you and harm the construction of Lifechanyuan.

Advanced Refinement requires the unity of heart, spirit, and intention, without any impurities. What you say, what you think in your heart, and what you do with your hands must all be highly consistent.

(Source: Other Writings of the Guide · 2006 · Remove the Kasaya, Cross the Great Wall)

In front of us stand six Great Walls: the Bible, the Quran, Buddhist scriptures, scientific common sense, Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thought, and material appearances. Therefore, we must remove the kasaya and cross the Great Walls — without doing so, we cannot reach the Greatest Creator's paradise.

IV. Core Mechanism: Dialoguing with the Subconscious¶

The entire universe is the "subconscious" — from the distant past to the infinite future, from this world to 20 parallel universes, from our current space to the 36th dimensional space. This vast space-time network is the "subconscious."

Can brain dissection reveal where our memories are stored? No! Because our memories are in the "subconscious," not in the brain. The brain is merely a bridge between human conscious awareness and the subconscious.

(Source: Other Writings of the Guide · 2007 · Advanced Refinement — Dialoguing with the Subconscious)

Eight Characteristics of the Subconscious:

Boundless, formless, far yet near, invisible, intangible.

Active in all space-times.

Neither distinguishes right from wrong, nor true from false, nor good from evil.

Responsive to all requests — plant melons get melons, plant beans get beans. Whatever information you input, it feeds back corresponding results.

Connected to all life. You can dialogue with ants, with flowers — the subconscious will translate accurately.

Spares no effort, works with full commitment.

Contains everything.

Belongs to the antimatter realm.

(Source: Other Writings of the Guide · 2007 · Advanced Refinement — Dialoguing with the Subconscious)

Practice One: Ascending and Reviving in Love¶

The core component of higher life consciousness is love. The higher the life, the greater the love content in its consciousness. Our Advanced Refinement begins with love.

I care not about the results of building Lifechanyuan — results are not that important. What matters enormously is the process. Love's cultivation lies in the process, not the result... Let us ascend in love, revive in love!

(Source: Chanyuan Corpus · Cultivation Practice · Ascending and Reviving in Love — Advanced Refinement I)

Practice Two: Learning Spiritual Transformation¶

All things arise from consciousness. To attain the celestial rank, one must learn self-transformation. A great actor can portray a hundred lives, playing each character authentically — this is the work of consciousness.

May you also possess spiritual transformation — Sun Wukong had 72 transformations, and I hope you become more capable, possessing infinite transformation ability.

Practice Three: Seeing the World with Eyes Closed¶

Conventional thinking has bound us for too long, making us believe that closing our eyes means seeing nothing. In reality, we see more and more clearly with eyes closed.

The material eyes can only see the material world; only with closed eyes can we see the antimatter world.

Four keys: stillness, unscattered thoughts, a childlike quality, and consciousness-switching.

Once you see it, your worldview, values, and outlook on life will undergo earth-shaking transformation. Only then does true life begin.

(Source: Chanyuan Corpus · Cultivation Practice · Seeing the World with Eyes Closed — Advanced Refinement III)

Practice Four: Concealment¶

All wonders lie not in training the body or practicing postures, but in training the mind.

Concealment is very easy — it happens in a single flash of thought. The key to concealment lies in mastering Chaotic Thinking.

A person can compress themselves into a single cell, and can do so in an instant. To achieve concealment: either compress yourself into a single cell, or absorb the energy of the entire earth.

(Source: Chanyuan Corpus · Cultivation Practice · Concealment — Advanced Refinement IV)

Practice Five: Navigating Thought Paradoxes¶

The highest-level game is the game of thought. Thought has many puzzling circles. Only the wise can find their way out of the labyrinth.

Practice Six: Playing the Five Elements Game¶

The total energy of the universe sums to zero — this is the principle behind "one yin, one yang is called the Tao; imbalanced yin-yang is called illness." The state of zero is a perfect state, a state that can transform in an instant.

Once you see xing, everything becomes simple, everything becomes a fun game. Recognizing this, one becomes an immortal — not a human immortal or terrestrial immortal, but a spirit immortal and celestial immortal. Playing the Five Elements game can lead one to the unity of heaven and humanity.

(Source: Chanyuan Corpus · Cultivation Practice · Playing the Five Elements Game — Advanced Refinement VI)

Practice Seven: Maintaining the Zero State¶

Laozi's "non-action," Buddha's "no-form," and Qiankun Yuanchu's "middle way" all point to the "Zero State."

Always keeping oneself in the Zero State is a form of Advanced Refinement.

Striving toward the Zero State is striving toward the Buddha, toward celestial immortals, toward the Tathagata.

Anyone attached to some thing, object, theory, religion, political party, nation, family, or person is moving against the Tao, moving away from the Zero State.

The Zero State is the attribute of the Tao, the state of the Greatest Creator. The Zero State is nothing, yet is everything. To abide in the Zero State is to reach the state of "unity of heaven and humanity" and to dwell in life's eternity.

The most wondrous feeling in life is the feeling when one's consciousness is in the Zero State — for then one can experience everything.

(Source: Chanyuan Corpus · Cultivation Practice · Maintaining the Zero State — Advanced Refinement VII)

Practice Eight: Expressing Oneself Clearly¶

I asked the Greatest Creator: "Why are so many people's wishes difficult to realize?"

The Greatest Creator answered: "Because they have not expressed themselves clearly."

Most of human suffering and trouble stems from not expressing oneself clearly; most conflicts between people also stem from this.

Is Advanced Refinement really this simple — just expressing oneself clearly?

Yes, it is that simple. Just express yourself clearly.

(Source: Chanyuan Corpus · Cultivation Practice · Advanced Refinement VIII — Expressing Oneself Clearly)

Practice Nine: Building the Celestial Structure to Absorb Special Energy¶

Conclusion: The differences among all things lie in differences of structure.

To live long, to live forever, to remain forever young, one must work on the structure of life.

When we fully possess the consciousness of celestial immortals, we achieve the life-structure of celestial immortals. When we fully achieve the life-structure of celestial immortals, we without doubt live in the environment of celestial immortals.

Replace traditional closed structures with "dissipative structures" — open, flowing structures — so that one's consciousness does not become isolated and closed, preventing the increase of entropy and the tendency toward "death state." Then envision oneself as a celestial immortal in the heavenly realm, and absorb the special energy needed by the celestial life-structure.

Practice Ten: Practicing Dialogue with the Greatest Creator¶

All things, all events, all traces are the words of the Greatest Creator; all phenomena, all movements, all transformations are the Greatest Creator speaking.

The Greatest Creator never uses language to dialogue with humans, never uses writing to record his will, never enters people's minds to give special guidance...

The Greatest Creator treats all life, especially humans, with fairness and justice. Anyone who is willing can dialogue and communicate with the Greatest Creator.

The only way to dialogue and communicate with the Greatest Creator is through heart-to-heart interaction. Therefore, to dialogue with the Greatest Creator, one must first open one's lingjue (spiritual perception).

As long as we are willing, as long as we are humble, as long as we hold the Greatest Creator in our hearts, as long as we walk the path of the Greatest Creator, we can easily dialogue and communicate directly with the Greatest Creator.

Entering Advanced Refinement is equivalent to beginning to explore life in the antimatter world. In the antimatter world, we are all free. So I hope everyone will meet with me in the antimatter world as much as possible — not with the physical body, not with language, but with spirit and heart, with consciousness.

(Source: Other Writings of the Guide · 2008 · My Turning Point)

The core of spiritual thinking is that consciousness is not bound or restricted by the real material world and social conventions — free and unconstrained... This already belongs to the content of Advanced Refinement and is the essential quality of celestial immortals.
