# Concealment — Advanced Cultivation Four December 9, 2006 As a child, I learned the meaning of invisibility from the story of the "Magic Gourd" told by my elementary school teacher. Later, I gained more insights into concealment and escape from works like Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods. The nature of thinking is truly marvelous; extraordinary abilities lie not in physical practice or posture but in the practice of thought. I have successfully become invisible and escaped, so I know some secrets, though not within the material world. Invisibility is very easy; it’s just a fleeting thought. The key to concealment and escape lies in mastering holographic thinking. A person's ability is determined by their thinking. As long as one's thinking is superior, the difference between individuals is as vast as the sky and the earth. Why do I seem arrogant? It’s because I know what others are thinking, what they are going to do, and the boundaries of their thoughts, while others cannot know what I am thinking, what I am going to do, or the boundaries of my thoughts. Let’s review my classification of thinking: material thinking, imaginal thinking, associative thinking, illusive thinking, visualized thinking, Taiji thinking, formless thinking, and holographic thinking. This is a ladder of thinking, each level higher and more profound than the last. A person can compress themselves into a single cell and complete this in an instant. In the same limited space, the greater the energy, the more formless it becomes; the smaller the energy, the more tangible it is. A mountain is a mountain, but if the energy of a mountain is compressed into a matchbox, the mountain becomes invisible. To become invisible, one can either compress themselves into a cell or absorb the energy of the entire Earth. Is it difficult? Not really; the key lies in the transformation of thinking. This game is actually quite fun. If you have some free time, it’s worth playing around with. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
