This book is only available in Simplified Chinese and may not have been published in other countries yet. However, I still really want to introduce it to everyone. The title of this book, if translated into English, would be like “The Foolish Book” (The Taisha Book)
The content of this book is very similar to the Law of One.I’d like to share the meaning of choice described in Chapter Five of this book. The original text was in Chinese; I translated it into English:
However, people at this level of existence, no matter how long they drift, will eventually make that choice. Time is merely a tool for choice; it becomes endless precisely because you haven’t made a choice yet. In reality, everyone has already made a choice, but they haven’t yet understood and accepted it. Moreover, the vast majority have chosen the path of unity, so they frequently experience the benefits of love, unity, acceptance, understanding, and tolerance in their lives. They remain trapped in the illusion of this world, denying their choices and continuing to pursue separation until they suffer in this separation and finally choose to abandon the prison of separation. People on every path have already made choices. They seem to be constantly choosing in their lives, but in reality, they haven’t made any choices. They are simply experiencing themselves and understanding the choices they have already made.
Choice is the meaning of this world’s existence. Therefore, you can certainly view this world as a game, except that this game doesn’t use experience points or wealth as upgrade elements. Everyone is playing their own little games of accumulating experience, getting to know themselves within these games, and searching for a portal to leave. When someone understands that they have reached a certain level of having made a choice, their portal will open, and different people will enter different portals to enter the next game. Some people will remain in the game, refusing to advance to the next level. This is all part of each person’s free will; no one will force you to make any choices. How you face this game is also a matter of free will. You can certainly continue accumulating experience points or in-game currency, but that has nothing to do with your choices or graduation. You can also understand the meaning of this game and start looking for that next level as soon as possible.
Jim: You mean the goal of this world is for people to experience differences, and then make their own choices about how to understand and face those differences? Is this the goal for which everyone chooses to come to this world to experience it and then make choices? Why must this world be designed this way? Why not make it clear from the beginning that accumulating experience points and in-game currency is useless? Isn’t this a trap? You’re given a game to play, but there’s no game guide from the start.
Taisha: You’re talking about the meaning of the Veil of Oblivion. Although you think it’s almost illogical, it’s almost the greatest element of a game. If you always know the game guide, it’s like you already know how your future life will be, and the game has no value. Only by exploring a world with seemingly no way out can you truly understand and fully accept the meaning of that world you find. Earth’s veil of oblivion is very thick, but it is precisely under this heavy veil that you can make truly complete choices. You will understand the meaning of your choices more thoroughly. On many other planets, the veil of oblivion is thin, and choices seem effortless. However, you haven’t resolved your inner problems, and you will still continue to drift. Therefore, you entered this world with its heavy veil from the beginning to graduate from it as quickly as possible.
Moreover, the game guide for this world has always existed. Aren’t this book and other similar books on exploring the meaning of worlds all the same? It’s just that you’ve never believed in a higher level of world beyond this one, so you’ve always ignored those game-leveling guides, focusing instead on playing the mini-games that everyone else is playing, accumulating experience points and in-game currency.
The meaning or purpose of this world is determined by how you will graduate from it. Just like going to middle school or university, the core meaning is determined by what you actually learn upon graduation. If graduation in this world were determined by wealth, power, and status, then the meaning of this world would be defined by these things. However, graduation in this world has nothing to do with wealth, power, status, or knowledge. These are merely tools you use to understand yourself and make choices. Whether you have much or little wealth, you can make choices in the same way. The core lies in how you choose to treat your relationships with others while using these tools. Once you have truly made your choices, you will graduate. Moreover, you cannot cheat on this worldly graduation exam because there is no exam. Every moment of every day is about making these choices. The only reason you are still in this world is because you haven’t yet understood and accepted the choices you’ve made. Therefore, you must continue to experience until you accept yourself.
As for your question, “Why is the universe designed this way?”, it’s part of the natural order, just as the changing of the seasons isn’t determined by anyone. From the perspective of spiritual development, you must first make choices before you can truly embark on your own path. It’s like a seed that sprouts after being watered; only after sprouting can it grow and bear fruit. Your choice is merely a step in the germination of a seed, part of the natural cycle of growth. You must first choose your path before the meaning of your future path becomes apparent, much like choosing a major in university, except in this cosmic university there are only two majors to choose from. Of course, not all seeds choose to germinate; the vast majority can choose to remain in the dark soil, forever fearing the sunlight of the new world—this is each seed’s own decision.
This is what you initially asked: why did you come to this world—a world that seems particularly troublesome, where reality and illusion are inverted, where joy and pain are constantly experienced, a world filled with struggle, anxiety, and complexities where right and wrong are indistinguishable? This is a fact; compared to other worlds in this spacetime, this world is almost in the heart of a desert and at the center of conflict. As for why you made this choice, perhaps you dislike this world full of separation, pursuit, and the joys and sorrows of life. However, this world, to some extent, allows you to more deeply experience the difference between the paths of separation and unity, and helps you quickly understand the choice you’ve made. It’s like choosing a very difficult level in a game; your goal is simply to accumulate experience and level up as quickly as possible. You know that although it will be difficult, it’s undoubtedly the fastest path—so this is your own decision, only you’ve forgotten why you made it.
Therefore, you can understand it this way: you came into this world, and although it is full of separation, inversion, and blurred lines between right and wrong, it is precisely in such an environment that you can more deeply understand the true essence of the difference between separation and unity. In such an environment, you will learn and grow more quickly. Other environments may be comfortable and less challenging, but they lack a profound experience. Everything may seem clear, but the learning speed is actually very slow. It’s like how you can’t truly appreciate the modernity and advancement of your own country without going to Africa; you can’t experience poverty and primitiveness without going there. Jim: I understand why I came to this troublesome world, but before I came to wander here, I certainly knew there would be many problems and troubles, and I also knew I would completely forget. Didn’t I make any preparations beforehand, like bringing a secret plan or something?
Taisha: What if you brought a secret plan but forgot it existed? What if you saw the plan but still laughed at yourself and threw it away? Actually, you knew from the beginning that the secret plan wouldn’t work. You and most people prepared another, more effective strategy. You prepared some notes in advance and gave them to almost all your friends, telling them: whoever remembers who they are first must pass these notes to you. Of course, this isn’t cheating; it’s just exploiting the rules, and everyone would do that. However, it does have a certain element of opportunism, but it’s not the biggest cheating method in this rule-based universe. When we have our seventh conversation, we will teach you the ultimate cheating method.
As I’ve repeatedly said before, these notes and your instructions to your friends are not metaphors. Before you chose to come into this world, you must have told some of your brothers and sisters that if they remembered everything beforehand, they must find you and tell you the truth about you and your purpose in coming to this world, and bring back your former most proficient abilities, equipment, and magic. And you knew that even if you encountered these brothers and sisters who came back to remind you, you certainly wouldn’t believe them. Therefore, before you came, you made a pact with each other that if anyone didn’t believe you at that time, you would repeat it over and over again, from every angle and every level, until you completely believed and accepted it.
So, after so many years, I finally found you—my dearest brother and sister. It’s no coincidence that you opened this book and had the patience to read this far. This book is my promise to you before we came to this separated world to wander. You once instructed me that no matter how many times I repeated it, it didn’t matter, I must make sure you fully remembered your true identity and the power you inherently possessed. And the reason I tirelessly repeated the same words so many times in this book is simply because—I am keeping my promise to you, this is my love for you, my forever friend and lover!
