? Elizabeth, a famous writer living in new york, went to Bali for a writing demand, visited an old witch doctor and learned about the earth-shaking changes she was about to face. Before leaving, the old witch doctor gave her a painting and told her that this painting represents a down-to-earth life. You don't need your brain to see the world, but you need your heart to perceive God.
? Elizabeth returned to her own life with the prediction of the old witch doctor, but found that she could not continue to live with her husband, because he hoped to live a constant and stable life with her and accept what she should do at every stage of her life smoothly. For example, get married naturally, have children, work hard to earn money, raise and grow up, and so on. But she fell into deep confusion, and she knew that this was not the life she wanted. So one rainy night, after praying to God, she packed her bags and decided to leave, which hurt the man who loved her. When she saw his painful expression, her heart suffered from remorse and pain.
In a drama performance, the attractive actor on the stage was reading his lines. When his eyes met her, his eyes were blurred and his face showed a charming smile. He attracted her like an angel and made her smile. Just when her marriage was depressed, he came to her side. He deeply embraced her and loved her, just like many lovers in love. He brought her into his world, the crowd who followed the Indian master in meditation. But soon their love was not as good as before because of the trivial things of living together.
? She read her article on the podium, and she said, "First of all, the person you love gives you a dose of drugs-emotional drugs of love and passion." Soon, like an addict, you are eager to get the attention of the other party. If you can't get it, you will get sick, upset and hate the person who made you take emotional drugs at first, but now you won't be given drugs anymore. In the past, it was a free drug for you. Then, you become haggard, even if it is to let the other party give you drugs again, you are willing to pay everything. At the same time, your lover is beginning to hate you now. He looks at you like a stranger, but you can't blame him. Look at yourself. You are so inhuman that you don't even recognize yourself. At this time, I reached the final stage of love and gave up on myself. "
? Unexpectedly, she jumped out of a lost marriage and into another short and disappointing love life. She has no passion, no vitality, no enthusiasm. She doesn't want this kind of herself, and she doesn't want a natural life. She needs to change herself and find the life she really loves. So I continued to pack my bags, bid farewell to familiar places, and left for a year. When she and David were waiting for the bus on the doorstep, his handsome face was full of sadness and disappointment. When he said that if you stay, we will go out to eat Indian food every night and expressed the hope that she would stay and continue to live with him, she was also sad. But she left bravely, and she didn't want to repeat her lost life.
? When she came to her first stop in Italy alone, she thought of an old Italian joke: a poor man goes to church every day and prays in front of a statue of a saint: Saint, please, just let me win the lottery. The enraged sage finally couldn't help but appear, looked down at the praying poor man and said, son, you should buy a lottery ticket, too. She wants to say that there is nothing wrong with her choice. What she wants to do is what she thinks. If you do it bravely, you will have a chance to get something. Although the room she rented in Italy was shabby and shabby, the landlady was a very nice person. Meet new friends in a new environment, learn the language with local friends, watch the local scenery, sit on the street and enjoy the food, watch the opposite couple kiss, and her boyfriend's thick and warm hands wander on the girl's bare skin. Like people living in Italy, she enjoys the pleasure of doing nothing every day. But she will still think of David, the handsome actor. He hopes that they can continue to live, even if they are troubled, and he is afraid that breaking up will bring great pain. But she finally figured it out during her trip to Italy and wrote him a letter:
? Remember you said that we should live together unhappily, so that we can be happy. I've been doing this for a long time, hoping to keep it up, but a friend took me to a place one day, Augusta, which was originally built by Emperor Augustus for himself. When pagans invaded, they looted the mausoleum and everything else. Augustus the Great, the first great emperor of ancient Rome, how could he have predicted that the Roman Empire, the world in his eyes, would be looted? This is the quietest and loneliest place in Rome, which has developed around the city for hundreds of years. It's like an unforgettable wound, a heartache, because it once hurt you deeply. We all hope to remain the same and accept the troubles brought by life, just because we are afraid of change and getting worse. But when I saw this place, I saw its vicissitudes, which were used for various purposes, burned and looted, but it still stood. So I understand that although my experience is vicissitudes, the right way in the world is vicissitudes, but it can't sink? In the past vicissitudes of life. It is a good thing to experience vicissitudes, and vicissitudes can bring changes. The ruins of Augustus made me understand that even in the eternal city of Rome, we have to face eternal changes, and we should not stay together any longer, just because we are worried that separation will be more painful.
This trip made her find some true meaning of life, bid farewell to a relationship sincerely and responsibly, cooked a sumptuous dinner for the friends she met in Italy, and taught everyone to make gratitude words before dinner. She repaid everyone's help and care in her own way. What a warm and touching moment, but she knew it didn't belong to her, and she would get up to say goodbye and start the next journey no matter how nostalgic she was.
? After a bumpy journey, she came to a meditation garden in India to study meditation. But everything here is more different than she imagined. She wears loose clothes, kneels on the ground to clean the floor, and gets up at four in the morning to read scriptures and meditate with people. She found that she couldn't settle down to meditate at all, no matter how hard she tried. She was very upset and quarreled with a middle-aged man in the garden. She wants to get rid of her self-blame. For her ex-husband, she wants to let go of many burdens of life, but she can't do it. Until she attended the wedding of an Indian girl, although she wanted to go to college instead of getting married, she had no right to make her own decisions. She chose to use meditation to express her courage to face the unknown life. On the open-air balcony, the middle-aged man finally told the real reason why India meditated. He finally dared to tell the pain hidden in his heart, faced it and tried to forgive himself. She can finally let go of the blame and face herself easily.
? She finally returned to Bali and went to see the old witch doctor. Her state is not the same as before. She can finally let go of the past and concentrate on finding herself. She bravely followed her own ideas. She looks so charming, so charming. She lived a short life in Bali, meditated in a quiet residence, played in beautiful Bali, and chatted with an old witch doctor in the afternoon. The old witch doctor taught her to smile, not only on her face, but also to feel her heart smiling, her liver smiling, and her heart smiling. With her efforts, she raised money for doctors she knew to build a house, and met a very attractive and affectionate single-minded man. They have a lot in common. They are in a middle state, living on the edge, unwilling to live a comfortable life at home, but looking for inspiration. When she decided to leave Bali and return to new york, she gave the old witch doctor the manuscript she had arranged for him, a beautiful book with his name printed on the title page. He said, "Liss, you cured me." Elizabeth replied to the same sentence. Between people, it is to help each other and get along with each other with heart, so that we can feel each other's feelings. While getting help from others, she influences others and gives them help in her own way. She is so unique among her friends and has her own personality charm and wisdom, which makes her friends around her feel proud and at ease. Therefore, she opened her heart and accepted the love from the people she loved.
After everything, she finally understood what she needed, and she found her lost self.
? Finally, use her experience to end this wonderful course. She said that as long as you can bravely give up everything you are familiar with, whether you like it or hate it, and start the process of exploring the truth, including the psychological process, as long as you regard what you have seen in the process as clues, as long as you regard everyone you meet along the way as teachers. Most importantly, as long as you can face and forgive your own bad aspects, then you will explore the truth.
