我寫完我的書的第五部分時，我以為已經大功告成。由於當時並無出版意向，就把手稿擱置一旁，暫時將其拋諸腦後。

誰能想到2022年夏天，我會遭遇人生天翻地覆的重大變故。短短三週內，幾乎所有積蓄都被騙子騙光了。這場突如其來的災難令我措手不及，隨之而來的無盡痛苦與掙扎，差點把我壓垮。從經濟無憂驟然跌落至為錢焦慮的深淵，尤其日常開銷與稅費分文未減，反而增加。那種感覺，就像被判了無期徒刑，每天都在後悔裡打轉。

身為虔誠基督徒，自殺絕非選項，只能默默承受命運重擊。每天，我含淚祈禱，祈求上帝給我撐下去的勇氣，如此持續了整整三個月。禱告時都看見耶穌被釘十字架的異象，卻始終不解其意。經過好幾個月後，我終於領悟原來那是上帝在提醒我，我那本書，其實還沒寫完！

原來我的書稿尚缺最後一章的最後一節──關於如何從人性轉變為神性。雖然最後一章論及神性本質，卻未闡明如何達到神性的境界。這次詐騙經驗中，透過基督受難的啟示，讓我領悟關鍵在於「消失自我」：消除我執、放下慾望與執著，全然順服神。這種無我境界與純粹奉獻的精神，是這次磨難賦予我的領悟。

凝視自身的熬練，我發現了與基督受難故事的深刻共鳴：無罪之人何以被釘十架？面對肉體與精神的雙重酷刑，基督幾乎放棄，甚至祈求天父撤去這苦杯。但最終祂超越人性弱點，祂最後說「不要照我的意思，只要照你的旨意」，以無私犧牲拯救人類。這種無我精神，正點明從人性轉變為神性之路。

要達到神性，必須具備基督般的無私大愛。

培養同理心和同情心並非易事。大多數人受自身利益驅使，只為自身謀利。要達到無私的狀態可能需要時間，而且每個人的培養方法也各不相同。對我來說，這個“開竅”，居然是從被騙開始的。這段經歷加深了我的同理心，如今我發現自己更願意優先考慮他人的利益而非自己的利益。

被騙的開端，現在想起來都覺得有點不真實。就是2022年7月底，始於微信：一個陌生人突然問我是否認識。既然他們有我的聯絡方式，他肯定之前跟我有過接觸。我說我們是陌生人，並要求刪除我的資訊。但他馬上問我做什麼工作。我說是做「家庭健康服務」的。他立刻聲稱自己從事醫療和房地產行業。 我以為他也在同一個行業。這種認知偏差讓自己落入了一個會改變我一生的陷阱。

The Cross and the Scam

When I finished the fifth part of this book, I thought I was done. Since I had no intention of publishing it at that time, I put the manuscript aside and temporarily forgot about its existence.

I never dreamed that in the summer of 2022, I would encounter a major upheaval that shook the very foundation of my life. Within just three weeks, almost all of my life savings were wiped out by fraud. This sudden disaster caught me completely off guard, and the endless pain and struggle that followed overwhelmed me. I went from financial security to being consumed by anxiety over money, especially when daily expenses and taxes remained unchanged or even increased. It felt as if I had been sentenced to an eternity of regret.

 As a devout Christian, suicide was never an option, so I could only silently endure the blows of fate. Every day, I prayed with tears, asking for the courage to persevere. This went on for three whole months. One day during my prayer, I suddenly saw a vision of Jesus being crucified, but I couldnt understand its meaning. After many years, I finally realized that it was God revealing to me the completion of my book.

It turned out that my manuscript was missing the final chapter - about how ordinary people can become divine. Although the final chapter discussed the nature of divinity, it did not explain the method of cultivation. Through this experience of fraud, God used the revelation of Christs suffering to teach me that the key to enlightenment lies in "dissolving the self": eliminating self-attachment, letting go of desires and attachments, and fully submitting to Gods will. This state of selflessness and pure dedication was the enlightenment bestowed upon me by this ordeal.

Looking at my own suffering, I found a profound resonance with the story of Christs crucifixion: Why was an innocent man crucified? Facing both physical and mental torture, Christ almost gave up and even prayed to the Father to take away the cup of suffering. But in the end, he overcame human weaknesses and said, "Not my will, but yours be done," sacrificing himself selflessly to save humanity. This spirit of selflessness was like a beacon guiding my path of cultivation.

To achieve divinity, one must possess the selfless love of Christ.

Cultivating empathy and compassion is no easy task. Most people are driven by self-interest and work for their own benefit. Reaching a state of selflessness may take years and the methods of cultivation vary from person to person. For me, as mentioned earlier, this cultivation came as a result of being a victim of fraud - as a victim, this experience deepened my ability to empathize, and now I find myself more willing to prioritize others comfort over my own.

The story began on the WeChat platform: At the end of July 2022, a stranger suddenly asked if we knew each other. Since they had my contact information, I must have interacted with them before. When I said we were strangers and asked to delete the contact - who could have imagined that this simple response would become the switch that changed my fate?

He asked about my field of work. After hearing my response of "home health services," he immediately claimed that he was working in medical and real estate. I thought that he was in the same industry. This cognitive bias made me mistakenly believe he was a colleague, not realizing that I had stepped into a trap that would change my life.
