From material law and inward meaning to human choice, cost, and result, the preface lays out the book's basic structure.
With the metaphor of thought as a river, this chapter explains how information, experience, desire, and knowledge shape a person's inner world.
Beginning with a misread stone in Shenlongjia, this chapter proposes a method of self-observation through journaling, tracing craving and fear by "lifting stones."
Using the two faces of a coin as a metaphor for craving and fear, this chapter explains confusion, depression, delay, and the clogging of the river of thought.
Recasting confusion as a phase, this chapter introduces the six stages of heavenly selection and the three swords of human choice: break attachment, see the momentum, and settle the heart.
