The Natural Human’s Guide to Perception

“Wherever history goes, the series shall endure.”

Sin Bay has a strong intuition that the "Natural Human Feeling Skills" series will eventually become one of the greatest series in history, comparable to Euclid's Elements.

Even so, intuition is just intuition, but absurdly enough, he naively holds a 0.05% certainty that it will actually happen.

Why would he say that?

I saw it!!!

On the distant skyline
lies a giant wave composed of mechanization and non-natural humans.

Right now, it is still extremely small, like an ant's egg.

Must I have seen it wrong? Impossible! How could no one else see it?
Two minutes left? One minute? Or is there only thirty seconds remaining?

When it sweeps across my mind, the once-distant giant wave instantly transforms into a wall several stories high. By then, there will be no turning back, no regret pills, and no absurd plots of traveling back in time to start over.

However, before all of this happens, I actually still have time to think: What should I do? Thinking deeply with my gut instinct, if I really am wrong, doing anything would be utterly foolish; I might as well do something humorous. If it really happens, let it serve as a million-year-old meme carved into my epitaph.

As a natural human, through subjective rather than objective research, I will record my experience of how I feel and synthesize it into a complete methodology.

I imagine that in the not-too-distant future, even if natural humans are still born, there might no longer be an environment suited for natural feeling. Standing in another dimension, watching those semi-mechanized humans and natural humans react like primitive people when facing these written words they completely fail to understand—just imagining it feels so amusing!

Beyond that, when future natural humans finally begin to understand how they actually feel through this set of books, and then clumsily train themselves in those feeling techniques, their clumsy and awkward appearance should be enough to make me laugh for days.

I have specially written down some simple and practical methods so that natural humans can, through practical experience—much like a meditator observing themselves—apply simple feeling techniques to gradually discover and observe "how they feel."

Through practical attempts, they might slowly discover that many factors such as "time," "attention," "values," "self-awareness," "knowledge," and "ability" all influence their feelings. Once natural humans gradually experience how these factors affect their own feelings, they can begin trying to actively adjust them, causing a familiar world to yield completely different sensations.

They might discover that "how to feel" is itself a skill that can be learned, operated, and proactively changed.

As natural humans continuously practice and gradually build a complete "feeling system architecture" in their minds, they will be able to use this architecture subjectively to make broader connections more quickly, extending the feeling framework in the book into various different fields such as art appreciation, human relationships, travel quality, creation, religious practice, spiritual growth, and so on. Oh, right! By that era, those things probably won't even exist anymore, right?

Hahaha, just imagining it makes me smile. Perhaps they will even regard this series as a priceless treasure!

I really want to tell them that in our current era, these books are worth less than a single meal. I even have to beg people to read them, to beg them to spend a few minutes listening to these concepts; yet they would consider wasting even a few minutes on these thoughts to be a huge loss.

Aren't future natural humans and semi-mechanized humans just too foolish and hilarious? Much like modern people treating an ancient urinal as a fine tea set. Do they even know what they are cherishing? It is nothing more than insights and techniques polished by Sin Bay over decades, discarded as garbage.

Because in the contemporary era, feeling is as simple as breathing—why would anyone ever research it?

Because in the contemporary era, superior people are as numerous as pebbles on a beach, and Sin Bay is like a single tiny grain of sand—how could anyone ever listen to his voice?

Because in the contemporary era, important and fascinating things overflow the universe, and there is never enough time—how could anyone ever want to understand his research?

Only when these things are lost will they mistakenly take Sin Bay, who always scored at the bottom of the class, for the only glowing firefly in an intensely polluted night.
