Looking for superpowers

Hello, landlord! There is a special forum here, and the content is updated every day. You can learn about it, but I think it's semi-superstition.

Why is the phenomenon of superpowers so intriguing?

Superpower is a mysterious phenomenon in the world. Although it is widely discussed internationally at present, few people can make it clear. Even some famous so-called ghosts and gods will be questioned by many people, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false. Why? Why is it still like the biggest puzzle since ancient times? When will this puzzle be solved by clever humans?

In fact, we can temporarily stop to distinguish the authenticity of superpowers, because it is easy to talk on paper, even if the websites are flooded, there may not be any answers. I suggest that we might as well discuss the reasons why we are so interested in superpowers. Maybe we can find some clues from this discussion. Because this suggestion was put forward by me, I dare to analyze the fascinating reasons for exploring superpowers first:

I. Market supply and demand

In the extensive spiritual knowledge market, because human beings are not very secure about their existence on the earth, they are often unable to deal with many life problems, so many people hope that they can have superpowers, or want to use the power of some people with superpowers to solve their own difficulties. This demand has formed a market, and when this market is formed, some people will inevitably respond to this market, so as to facilitate the reproduction of all beings and meet their urgent psychological needs.

The market can provide status and money. Under this premise, the so-called ghosts will naturally arise. They are just born for the supply and demand of the market. As for whether superpowers are true or not, it is not that important, as long as you can put forward a set of specious theories or use some simple fantasy techniques plus some clever spiritualism and religious packaging.

Enthusiasm for the study of superpowers is actually just a demand in the spiritual market.

Second, the blind touch the elephant.

According to the classic works, all superpowers and supernatural powers belong to the category of practice, that is to say, when a person with a firm mind reaches a certain stage of practice, there may be some occasional abnormal phenomena, but these so-called superpowers are not the ultimate goal of practice, but just some small flowers blooming on the difficult road of practice, and truly confident practitioners will not pay attention to these phenomena. Because if we pay too much attention to these things, these phenomena will become a stumbling block to practice and hinder a practitioner's spiritual ascension. Therefore, in the works of great yogis, we rarely see descriptions of superpowers, and most of them list those abnormal phenomena as unspeakable or not mentioned at all.

Compared with ancient times, people's minds in modern society are much more complicated. There are very few practitioners who can really make a difference. Even seeing small flowers, that is, superpowers, is so difficult to do that all superpowers have become puzzles. People only know there is such a thing, but they don't know why. I don't know how to achieve this state, so just like a blind man touching an elephant, everyone stays at the stage of speculation. Everyone touches only a tiny part of the elephant, but thinks he already knows the structure of the whole elephant.

People really want to know how the phenomenon of superpowers is realized, but people who may have these abilities never say it, because superpowers are not the goal, but only a small part of practice. If we only study small things, we will inevitably delay big things. Because of this, the phenomenon of superpowers is always just a puzzle, full of interesting puzzles.

Third, the apprentice fantasy

In addition to the problems of the material world, people still have many spiritual problems to solve, and it is very difficult to solve them. Therefore, when we are helpless, it is a very common learning process to learn Zen from teachers with the help of religious masters or spiritual masters. Apprentices want to use the power of these celebrities to solve their secular difficulties. Under such psychological needs, apprentices often mold or fantasize these masters into omnipotent strange people, and even make rumors. Over time, people think that there really are these super-talented geniuses in the world. However, this speculation is quite different from the facts. A really good master will never teach his disciples how to achieve super powers, because a good master only pays attention to the realm and behavior of practice, but the more he lives in a utilitarian society, the more he yearns for it. The space for fantasy is getting bigger and bigger, and finally all the discussions about superpowers become just legends. People are very interested, but seldom master haunters's tricks, which is especially obvious in religious belief.

Fourth, curiosity about mysterious things.

Human beings are full of curiosity about all mysterious things, because we want to transcend the social status quo and improve the material and spiritual level of human beings. Of course, the exploration of superpowers is an important part. The more mysterious things are, the more curious we are. Therefore, although it is difficult to prove the existence of superpowers, we are still keen to explore them.

Five, eager to have super powers

Humans like to surpass, and everyone wants to be an outstanding superman, able to do things that ordinary people can't do and can't do. People who like to discuss things with haunters really want to have superpowers in their conscious minds. Think about it, if they can take things at will or travel through time and space mentally, how enjoyable it is. People like to study superpowers, but they just want to be lucky to have one of them. The more difficult things are, the more intriguing they are.

The above reasons are my humble opinion. Of course, there will be some shortcomings. The reason for publishing this article is that I hope that friends who are interested in superpowers can get some enlightenment from such psychological discussions. Interested parties can discuss with me in the "Star Forum". I sincerely hope that through meager research and discussion, we can find a direction that is helpful to the development of the whole human civilization.
