在去年《免疫製造》的新書發表會上,我意外遇見一位十年前曾在營隊中輔導過的學員。我問他:「還在斷食嗎?」他毫不猶豫地答:「當然沒有。」

這樣的回答不意外,撇開這類久遠的個案,光是近五年內,我親自輔導過、卻最終失聯的學員就超過三百人。他們不是沒有收穫,也不是沒有感動,而是選擇甘願被環境吞噬。

從外在看,干擾無所不在:飲食的場域、應酬的文化、生活的忙亂、經濟的壓力,一切都在混淆身體的聲音,斷食,只是一段記憶中的插曲。

作為教練,我很清楚,他們不是被我淘汰,而是自己為「尊重身體的練習」按下了休止符。

這就是動機的真相,除了外在動機與內在動機,更有淺層動機與深層動機之別。

斷食,需要環境。這不只是我的身體示範,而是一個集體共振的磁場。

在這裡,有責任的交付,也有價值的傳承,我樂見那些擁有「兼善天下」願景的人,共同耕耘這片關懷他人的土壤。

 

在「除垢營」的現場,有學員提出一個簡單卻本質深刻的問題:「在家淨化和在營隊淨化有什麼差別?」我坦率的回答:「你真的會在家認真做?持續做?」

就像線上聽課與實體上課的專注度差異明顯,自己方便是一回事,環境賦予的力量又是另一回事。

這正是個人舒適圈與集體同溫層的根本差異。為什麼需要同溫?因為斷食的日常需要紀律的傳染力。

進一步強調:這個環境,在最初,只是我腦海中的一幅藍圖。

我不知道誰會留下,也不知道誰能同行。我只知道,它需要對的人來撐起樑柱,它需要被守護、被延續。而我,有責任留到風氣成形、不再渙散的那一天。

台灣尚未擁有這樣的場域,一個探究疾病根源、重視自由與尊嚴的地方。我真心希望,有朝一日能建立一個遠離對價與遷怒的磁場。

 

十年,是一個單位,我已經投入兩個單位。歷經多少次從零開始,我看清:造成團體瓦解的元素始終如一,就如人類大環境的崩解一樣,是自私與自大。

道理很簡單:當你只考慮自己的方便,每個人都只想圖利自己,那麼環境的力量就無從生成。

困難從來都不是絆腳石,我不畏懼辛苦,因為身體的進化早已鑲嵌在我的思考藍圖中,我們不能眼睜睜看著這份責任被踐踏。

我沒有「成功的劇本」,只有不停止努力的信念。只要我還有力氣,這個環境就會繼續存在。

我曾被看不見真相的學員當面質疑,也曾被人背後批判我的方式,因為他們無法接收我的思維頻率。

這就是「頻率的差異」,學習有頻率落差,思考亦然。我們正在建立一種這世界前所未有的文化,只期待那極小機率的真誠共振。

 

這一門課,我講了快二十年,連我自己都覺得不可思議。早在第一年,我就預言:這堂課,我會講上三十年。

未來十年,才是「平地起高樓」的時候。但這座高樓不是鋼筋水泥,而是一座堅不可摧的虛擬場域,因為健康的信念,一旦穩固,將產生無比強大的集體磁力。

我曾對睡眠有一項重要的領悟,那是一個被失控的大數據掩蓋的真相。當整個社會都「不重視睡眠」,環境便會升級為一種破壞力十足的「集體偏見」。

你不愛庭院中的盆栽,植物會知道;你不重視睡眠,你的身體也會知道。當你陷入失眠苦惱的此刻,不妨問問自己是否曾經重度輕蔑睡眠的價值?

我在營隊談「行事曆」,不是要它壓過你的生活安排,而是希望我們共同維繫一個「有意義的環境」。

這個環境,不只是你我此刻的修行,更關乎未來世代的健康,兩者之間的連結,就是我們奉行不悖的「身體之道」。

 

這個環境,該如何命名?我稱它為「尊重身體的環境」。

一個以身體為師、以自然為師、以天地為師的環境。

一個從「愛自己」出發,以人類對身體意識覺醒為目標的環境。

一個在「利他」旗幟下,成就個人健康與生命圓滿的環境。

我曾在《當真》一書中寫下這段話:「在人生有限的歲月中,為一個明確的生命價值而努力,是做自己之後的重大覺悟,也是不能再虛度生命的聚焦行動。」

而在《幸福除垢學》中,我寫下:「根據間歇性斷食的語言,每個人都應該在每日中,留給身體一段不被食物打擾的靜默時光。」

失去環境,就失去支持。少了團體,就難以落實自律。

而少了尊重,你的身體,就再也無法成為你的盟友。

 

(我們在尋找的答案不會被你或我找到,它將被我們一起找到。)

 

A Space for Respecting the Body

At last year’s book launch for The Immunity Fabrication, I unexpectedly ran into a participant I had coached in a wellness camp ten years ago. I asked, “Are you still fasting?” Without hesitation, he replied, “Of course not.”

I wasn’t surprised by his answer. Setting aside these long-past cases, over the past five years alone, more than 300 individuals I personally coached have eventually drifted out of contact. It’s not that they lacked insight or transformation. They simply allowed themselves to be consumed by their environment.

From the outside, distractions are everywhere: eating habits, social obligations, the chaos of life, the pressure of economics. Everything conspires to drown out the body’s voice. Fasting becomes nothing more than a fleeting memory.

As a coach, I understand clearly—they were not eliminated by me. They chose, on their own, to bring their practice of respecting the body to an end.

This is the truth about motivation. Beyond external and internal motivation, there are shallow motives—and deeper ones.

Fasting requires a proper environment. It’s not just about my personal example; it’s about a shared magnetic field of resonance.
Here, there is the transmission of responsibility and the inheritance of values. I welcome those with a vision to benefit the world to cultivate this soil of altruistic care together.

At the Purification Camp, a student once asked a simple but profound question: “What’s the difference between cleansing at home and doing it at the camp?”
I answered frankly, “Would you really be consistent at home? Would you stay committed?”

It’s like comparing an online lecture with a physical class—the level of focus is drastically different. Personal convenience is one thing, but the force that an environment bestows is another.

This is the core distinction between a personal comfort zone and a collective resonance.
Why do we need a shared temperature? Because the daily practice of fasting needs the contagious power of discipline.

Let me be clear: this environment was once nothing more than a blueprint in my mind. I didn’t know who would stay. I didn’t know who would walk with me.
I only knew that the right people would be needed to hold up its pillars, and that this space must be protected, must endure.
And I—have the responsibility to stay until its spirit is no longer fragile.

Taiwan still lacks such a space: a place to explore the roots of illness, where freedom and dignity are honored.
I sincerely hope that, one day, we can cultivate an energetic field free from transactional thinking and displaced frustration.

Ten years make one cycle—I’ve already devoted myself to two. I’ve restarted from scratch countless times, and I’ve come to see clearly: the forces that dissolve communities are always the same—just like the disintegration of the human world at large—they are selfishness and arrogance.

It’s simple: once everyone seeks only their own convenience, the power of collective environment cannot take form.

Difficulties have never been obstacles for me. I do not fear hardship, because the evolution of the body is embedded in my cognitive blueprint.
We cannot stand by and watch this responsibility be trampled.

I have no “success plan,” only the conviction to keep going.
As long as I have strength, this environment will continue to exist.

I’ve been questioned directly by students who could not see the truth, and criticized by others behind my back—because they couldn’t attune to my frequency of thought.

That’s what frequency is. Learning has frequency gaps, so does thinking.
We are building a culture that is unfamiliar to the outside world, hoping—against odds—for an authentic resonance to emerge.

This class—I’ve been teaching it for nearly twenty years. Even I find it unbelievable.
In my first year, I predicted that I would be delivering this message for thirty years.

The next ten years will be the time to build “a tower from flat ground.”
Not of steel or concrete—but of an unshakable virtual space. Because once a belief in health is rooted, it will generate a collective magnetic force beyond measure.

I once had a profound realization about sleep—a truth buried by runaway data.
When an entire society neglects sleep, the environment evolves into a destructive “collective bias.”

If you ignore the potted plants in your courtyard, they will know. If you neglect sleep, your body will know.
So when you’re struggling with insomnia, perhaps ask yourself—did you once disdain the value of sleep?

In the camp, I speak of our shared calendar—not to override anyone’s personal schedule, but to hold space for a meaningful environment together.

This environment isn’t just for our own growth—it concerns the health of generations to come.
And the link between the two? That is the unwavering path of the body we all share.

What do we call this environment? I call it: A Space for Respecting the Body.

An environment where the body is the teacher, where nature is the mentor, where the universe is our guide.
An environment that begins with self-love, and aims for humanity’s awakening to bodily awareness.
An environment that, under the banner of altruism, fulfills both personal health and the wholeness of life.

In Realizing, I once wrote:

> “In the finite years of life, to strive toward a clear and meaningful value is the great awakening after becoming oneself. It is a focused act that no longer allows life to be wasted.”

And in Eudaimonism, I added:

> “According to the language of intermittent fasting, everyone should give their body a long, undisturbed silence each day—free from the interference of food.”

Without an environment, there is no support. Without a community, discipline cannot be sustained.
And without respect, your body can no longer be your ally.
