Wan Yilong: Practicing Great Love with High-Dimensional Wisdom

Casting the Soul for the Inheritance of Dongba Culture

By Lan Xin (Lanxin Samei)

Mr. Wan Yilong is an outstanding master of traditional Chinese culture, a high-dimensional wisdom mentor, spiritual practitioner, poet, and philanthropist. He is also the founder of the Nine Dragons Realm, Dean of the High-Dimensional Wisdom Academy, Dean of the Dongba Culture Academy, and a rare Han Chinese inheritor of Dongba Culture.

Born in Anyang, Henan, the hometown of China’s oracle bone inscriptions, he has been deeply nourished by 5,000 years of Chinese civilization since childhood. Proficient in I Ching at a young age, he devoted himself to Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, integrating ancient Eastern philosophy with spiritual wisdom. He enlightens hearts with wisdom and expresses the soul with poetry, spreading Eastern high-dimensional wisdom and great love to the world.

He is a true man of action who “does more than he speaks.” In daily life, he lives simply and frugally, with no pursuit of luxury or fame. Yet in charity and cultural inheritance, he gives his all without reservation. He has quietly helped countless strangers, never seeking recognition or reward, embodying great love through deeds and fulfilling his mission with a devout heart.

My encounter with Mr. Wan Yilong was legendary and destined. In a spiritual workshop with many fellow practitioners, I stood quietly and independently in the crowd, with a unique and serene aura. Though surrounded by many admirers for his “Third Eye” that perceives the truth of life, he noticed me at first sight among all those people.

He walked toward me gently, with firm and sincere eyes, and whispered: “We have met before.”

At the moment our eyes met, a familiar feeling across time and space arose naturally. With his high-dimensional perception, he clearly saw my form in multi-dimensional space and revealed the deepest imprints and mission of my soul. I was deeply shocked and convinced that this meeting was divinely destined. Since then, we have become closest partners, awakening the wisdom of countless lifetimes together, and guarding the inheritance of Eastern civilization hand in hand.

Over the years, Mr. Wan and I have worked together to protect and inherit Dongba Culture, a precious World Memory Heritage. We co-founded the public-welfare Dongba Culture Academy. Introduced by me, he became one of the very few Han Chinese inheritors of Dongba Culture. Together with Elder Aheng Dongta, he has devoted himself to sustaining this thousand-year-old cultural lineage. With profound cultural knowledge and high-dimensional insight, he helped me awaken the hidden wisdom of sacred mantras, rituals, and life energy, allowing the ancient civilization to shine anew in the modern era.

Deeply moved by the crisis facing Dongba Culture — few inheritors, most of them elderly and struggling to make a living — he made the rescue and inheritance of Dongba Culture his lifelong mission. Together, we restored an ancient thousand-year-old temple into the now-renowned Yulong Wenbi Dongba Culture Academy, creating a sacred home for Dongba inheritors to practice, research, and pass on their heritage.

Mr. Wan upholds the philanthropic philosophy of “teaching people to fish rather than giving them fish.” He provides not only material support but also platforms for cultural exchange, ancient scripture research, traditional ceremonies, and public education in the most dignified way for Dongba masters. This enables them to gain stable livelihoods and social respect while preserving their culture. He has traveled many times to remote mountainous areas such as Shangri-La and Muli in Sichuan to visit, comfort, and support the elder Dongba masters guarding the cultural roots, warming hearts with sincere and practical love.

As an extraordinary high-dimensional wisdom mentor and spiritual practitioner, Mr. Wan integrates the essence of wisdom from Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, and Dongba Culture. He perceives the karmic roots of life through the “Third Eye,” explores the mysteries of the multi-dimensional universe via astral travel, and chants cosmic sounds from high-dimensional realms with pure intention. This energetic frequency helps people break through physical limitations, connect with ancestral wisdom, awaken their soul guardians, resolve life confusion, and find their ultimate life purpose.

He never boasts of his extraordinary abilities or pursues personal gain, always guiding and healing all beings with compassion. For those trapped in confusion and suffering, he illuminates their path with high-dimensional wisdom and liberates them from karmic obstacles through spiritual practices. He heals both physical pain and spiritual wounds, helping countless people regain light and hope from hardship. For him, spirituality is not abstract theory, but a way of living integrated into every word, every deed, and every ordinary moment — seeing the sacred in the mundane, realizing the Tao in daily life.

At the Dongba Culture Academy, Mr. Wan is one of the core spiritual guiding forces. People from all over the world come seeking help with health, relationships, career, and spiritual struggles. With his ability to “see through karma,” he accurately identifies the root of their difficulties. Combining Eastern spiritual wisdom and ancient Dongba rituals, he has helped countless people experience life transformation: infertile couples welcoming children, critically ill patients recovering, lost souls finding direction, and suffering beings regaining peace. These real transformations are the best proof of his high-dimensional wisdom and boundless love.

Mr. Wan Yilong lights the path of cultural inheritance with high-dimensional wisdom, walks the way with selfless love, and guards the roots of civilization with poetic spirit and devotion.

He is a practitioner of Eastern high-dimensional wisdom, a distinguished Chinese poet on the international stage, a humble and profound philanthropist, a soul-builder for Dongba cultural inheritance, and a guide who transforms lives through life.

He shows the world the vision and dignity of a true Chinese spiritual practitioner. With perseverance, he revives the thousand-year-old culture; with compassion, he shines like starlight, illuminating countless lost souls.

He lives by this truth:

True high-dimensional wisdom begins with awakening and belongs to great love.

True spirituality and charity lie not in words, but in devoted action.

Father – Love Spoken in Silence

       My father never speaks much, yet his silence becomes the most reliable presence in our home. In the morning, he closes the door quietly as he leaves for work, and in the evening, he places his shoes neatly in their place. The order he maintains, even on the table, reflects his strong inner discipline. This silence does not feel cold; instead, it creates a sense of stability and reassurance. For my father, life is not expressed through loud words. He values action over speech and sees being a father not as a special status, but as a continuous responsibility. He never feels the need to highlight his efforts, because fulfilling his duties is simply a natural part of who he is.

      My father gives little advice, but every word he says is meaningful and timely. He allows me the freedom to choose while gently guiding my path, showing trust rather than control.

      As time passes, I understand more clearly that my father’s quiet nature comes not from indifference, but from inner calm. He chooses to bring peace into the family and carry worries on his own shoulders, protecting us from unnecessary anxiety. Sometimes I study his face and find support in his thoughtful seriousness and stability. He teaches not through long speeches, but through his actions. His life feels like a lesson written in silence yet filled with deep meaning and quiet strength.

      Today, I know that a father’s love is not always openly expressed. It often lives in quiet care, constant responsibility, and the unspoken words that shape a child’s life.

Alisher Navoiy and His Literary Heritage: His Unparalleled Place in Uzbek Literature

Abstract

Alisher Navoiy is one of the greatest figures in the history of Uzbek literature. His творчество not only made an immense contribution to the development of the Uzbek language but also had a profound influence on world literature. This article explores Alisher Navoiy’s life, literary heritage, philosophical views, most famous works, and historical significance. It also analyzes how Navoiy’s творчество is perceived in the modern era and how his works influence the thinking and worldview of contemporary readers. Navoiy is examined as a poet, thinker, and statesman, and his role in today’s cultural and spiritual heritage is evaluated.

Keywords: Alisher Navoiy, Uzbek literature, poetry, Fuzuli, love, Sufism, historical heritage

Introduction

Alisher Navoiy (1441–1501) is recognized as one of the greatest poets and literary figures of Central Asia. Born in the city of Herat (present-day Afghanistan), Navoiy had an unparalleled influence not only on Uzbek literature but also on the development of the entire Turkic and Persian literary traditions. The deep philosophical thought, spiritual meaning, and poetic mastery found in his works have been studied for centuries. This article provides a detailed analysis of Navoiy’s contribution to literature and culture, as well as his life, works, and philosophical views.

Main Part

1. Alisher Navoiy: His Life and Personality

Alisher Navoiy was born in 1441 in Herat, which was part of the Timurid Empire. Raised in an intellectually rich family, he studied literature, philosophy, logic, astronomy, and religious sciences from a young age. Despite living during a period of political instability, he served as a minister in the court of Sultan Husayn Bayqara.

Although he was a statesman, he paid great attention to the development of art, science, and literature, supporting many scholars and poets. His personality harmoniously combined the qualities of a politician, poet, and Sufi thinker.

2. Navoiy’s Works: The Harmony of Poetry and Philosophy

Alisher Navoiy was an extremely prolific writer, and his works cover a wide range of themes, including love, morality, justice, enlightenment, and spiritual perfection.

His most famous work is Khamsa (“The Quintet”), a collection of five epic poems, which includes:

Hayrat al-Abrar (“Wonder of the Righteous”) – a moral and philosophical work discussing virtue and the spiritual principles of society.

Farhad and Shirin – an epic devoted to tragic love.

Layli and Majnun – a famous love story symbolizing divine love and spiritual madness.

Sab’ai Sayyar (“Seven Planets”) – a work about enlightenment, justice, and governance.

Saddi Iskandari (“The Wall of Alexander”) – a poem devoted to wisdom, politics, and leadership.

Navoiy’s mastery of language, thought, and genre has ensured that his works remain valued not only in his own era but also today.

3. Sufism and Philosophy: The Foundation of Navoiy’s Worldview

One of the most important aspects of Navoiy’s творчество is Sufi philosophy. Sufism is based on the ideas of spiritual purification, closeness to God, and the cleansing of the soul.

In his work Muhabbatnama (“The Book of Love”), the concept of love is interpreted not only as a feeling between people but also as a spiritual path toward reaching the Creator.

For Navoiy, true love is the path that leads the soul toward perfection.

4. Navoiy and the Uzbek Literary Language

Although Navoiy wrote in two languages—Persian and Turkic (Chagatai)—his greatest contribution was elevating the Turkic language to a high literary level. During a time when Persian dominated literary expression, he deliberately wrote in Turkic and demonstrated its rich expressive possibilities.

By doing so, he laid a strong foundation for Uzbek literature.

5. Navoiy’s Legacy in Modern Literature and Thought

Even today, Alisher Navoiy’s творчество has not lost its relevance. His works have been translated into many languages and are studied worldwide. In Uzbekistan, February 9 is celebrated annually as “Navoiy Day.”

His ideas about justice, compassion, knowledge, and love remain an invaluable spiritual heritage for modern society.

Conclusion

Alisher Navoiy was not only a poet but also a great thinker, statesman, and spiritual leader whose influence has endured for centuries. The poetic beauty, philosophical depth, and spiritual values in his works continue to inspire humanity to reflect and to cultivate self-improvement.

Navoiy’s heritage is an invaluable treasure of the Uzbek people and an integral part of world culture.

Essay from Botirova Mubina

Educating the Builders of the Future – The Most Important Issue

Today, cases of juvenile delinquency are increasingly common in our country. Some people believe that the government is responsible for preventing such situations, while others emphasize that parents should bear the main responsibility. So, whose opinion is actually more justified?

According to supporters of the first viewpoint, the state’s responsibility in preventing crime has several advantages. First, organizing activities that encourage young people’s interest in education plays a significant role in reducing delinquency. In particular, assigning psychologists and National Guard officers to state institutions is one of the most important measures. Second, if employment services provide young people with appropriate jobs, the number of crimes will decrease. As Confucius stated: “Hands that are busy with work stay away from evil deeds.”

The representatives of the second viewpoint approach this issue differently. First of all, a child’s character and worldview are largely shaped by the family environment and the love and care shown by parents. Moreover, parental supervision is crucial in choosing friends and using social networks appropriately. Furthermore, our Constitution — the charter of our happiness — clearly defines parents’ duties toward their children.

In my opinion, parents should bear greater responsibility for raising future builders into morally mature and well-rounded individuals. As Abu Ali Ibn Sina said: “Failing to guide children onto the right path is an act of injustice.” My neighbor, who was indifferent to her child’s upbringing and ignored his harmful habits, eventually saw her 20-year-old son fall into the path of crime.

In conclusion, parents should be attentive to their children and help organize their free time productively. Encouraging adolescents to engage in professions and education is the foundation of our future. Indeed, it is not criminals but educated youth who will build the New Uzbekistan.

Autistic Children. We Are Always Together

Compiler: Axtamova Orastaxon Salimjon qizi – Student of Speech Therapy (Logopedics)

Annotation:
This article discusses the practical aspects of psycho-corrective work in the successful socialization of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It analyzes the psychological characteristics of social adaptation problems in children with autism and outlines effective approaches for intervention. The paper also explains what autism is, when it first becomes noticeable, its classifications, and how to build appropriate relationships with children on the autism spectrum.

Key words: Autism, psychocorrection, early childhood autism, adolescent autism, adult autism, external speech, monologic speech, stereotypical movements, social interaction.

Introduction

In modern psychology, increasing attention is being paid to emotional development and its role in personality formation. Emotions serve as an internal signaling system that helps individuals evaluate events, regulate behavior, and respond appropriately to different situations. When the emotional-volitional sphere develops typically, a child can interpret social cues, adapt to environmental changes, and establish relationships. However, disturbances in this sphere may significantly affect communication, behavior, and social adaptation.

One of the developmental disorders associated with emotional and communicative impairments is autism. Autism (from the Greek word “autos,” meaning “self”) refers to a specific psychological condition in which a person withdraws from social interaction and prefers isolation. The term “autism” was introduced into scientific literature in 1912 by Eugen Bleuler. Later, in 1943, Leo Kanner provided one of the first detailed descriptions of early childhood autism in his work Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact.

Autism spectrum disorder is more commonly diagnosed in boys than in girls. The first signs usually appear before the age of three, although in some cases they may be noticeable during infancy. Early detection plays a crucial role in ensuring effective intervention and better developmental outcomes.

Clinical Characteristics and Symptoms

Children with autism spectrum disorder often demonstrate difficulties in social interaction, communication, and behavior regulation. Common symptoms include:

  • Limited or absent eye contact;
  • Delayed speech development or lack of functional speech;
  • Indifference to separation from or reunion with parents;
  • Preference for solitary play;
  • Repetitive behaviors and stereotypical movements;
  • Strong attachment to routines and resistance to change;
  • Hypersensitivity to sounds, light, or touch.

Speech development in autistic children may vary. Some children do not speak at all, while others may use echolalia (repeating words or phrases without understanding their communicative meaning). Monologic speech may be present, but interactive dialogue is often limited.

According to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), autism-related disorders are categorized under F84, including childhood autism, atypical autism, Rett syndrome, and Asperger syndrome. These classifications reflect differences in symptom severity, onset, and associated developmental conditions.

Classification of Early Childhood Autism

Early childhood autism can be divided into four conditional groups based on behavioral patterns:

Group 1: Children who show almost complete indifference to the external world. They avoid eye contact and physical touch and demonstrate minimal emotional response even toward parents.

Group 2: Children who are isolated but maintain limited contact with close family members. They are highly dependent on routines, specific foods, clothing, or environments. Any change may lead to emotional outbursts.

Group 3: Children immersed in narrow and often unusual interests. These interests may not be educational and can include repetitive or fantasy-based themes.

Group 4: Children who are extremely sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. They desire interaction but struggle to cope with criticism or unexpected changes.

Understanding these groups helps specialists develop individualized psycho-corrective programs.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact causes of autism spectrum disorder remain unclear. Research suggests a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible contributing factors include genetic predisposition, prenatal stress, exposure to environmental toxins, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, complications during pregnancy, anemia, hypertension, and ecological pollution.

Previously, autism was considered purely genetic, but recent studies emphasize the multifactorial nature of the disorder. Importantly, autism is not caused by parenting style or emotional coldness of caregivers, as was mistakenly believed in the past.

Psychocorrection and Social Adaptation

Psychocorrectional work plays a vital role in supporting children with autism. Early intervention programs may include speech therapy, behavioral therapy, sensory integration therapy, and social skills training. The goal of psycho-corrective work is to develop communication skills, reduce stereotypical behaviors, enhance emotional regulation, and improve adaptive functioning.

Speech therapists help children develop functional communication, whether verbal or alternative (such as gestures or visual systems). Structured routines and visual supports are often beneficial. Gradual exposure to social environments also improves adaptive skills.

Family involvement is essential. Parents should treat autistic children as capable individuals, providing responsibilities appropriate to their developmental level. Considering them “defective” or equating autism with intellectual disability may hinder progress. Many children with autism have average or above-average intelligence.

Conclusion

Autism is not a dangerous or hopeless condition. It is not a verdict. Individuals with autism live among us and can achieve remarkable success when provided with understanding, acceptance, and professional support. Early identification, environmental modification, and consistent psycho-corrective intervention significantly improve long-term outcomes.

Society must replace fear and misunderstanding with knowledge and empathy. Accepting autistic children as equal members of the community and offering them appropriate educational and social opportunities will facilitate their successful integration. With timely support, many individuals on the autism spectrum grow into independent, talented, and socially active adults.

Essay from Dr. Jernail S. Anand

POETS: FROM LEGISLATORS TO PROPHETS:

Presidential remarks of Dr. Jernail S. Anand

At a recent Poetry Conference organized by Sanskar Bharti,
Chandigarh, [4th Jan 2026], Dr. Jernail S. Anand, who chaired the Poetry Conference, in his presidential address made a reference to the raging issues of our times. 

Knowledge versus Wisdom

The highlight of his speech was his distinction between Knowledge and Wisdom. He pointed out that Knowledge is the domain of Satan,
because it was Satan who had tempted Eve to eat the fruit of
Knowledge.  The Empire of Knowledge that we have created with science and technology is a great achievement of human mind. But it has a tragic flaw.


After getting knowledge, men should become wise. Where is wisdom? Where is innocence? Guile thy name is man. This is what our knowledge has done to man. He has become a gangster. He is not in his senses today. Success has gone to his head.


Is it not a fall down the abyss? Knowledge has made man proud and
arrogant, whereas wisdom makes him humble. This is the line which can be drawn between the two. 

The Chaos in Modern Life

Referring to the chaos in the life of the modern man, Dr. Anand observed that we have spent more time on studying history, leaving no space for study of the Present and we have shown absolutely no concern with the Future. He pointed out that Universities which
dispense knowledge have Departments of History but where is
Dept of the Present and Dept of Future? 

The think tanks are discussing history, which is now a
fixture and cannot be edited. And what we have missed sorely is planning for today and tomorrow. As an example, he pointed out that our marriages have problems. Is there any new philosophy in place to keep men and women in a state of balance? Can peace be
brought to family life? Our girls and women who work in night shifts, when going home in autos, are they safe from gangsters? If not, how can we leave our society fall down the abyss?


Don’t we need to ensure that women are safe in this society? Such things need our attention, not who attacked whom in history and on which date.

Poetry as a Part-time Affair

Dr Anand made a startling disclosure that almost all the poets are part time because Poetry affords no career for anybody on which he could live. Poetry is good as a passion. It is not the cup of tea for the society, for the simple reason that poets are most self-obsessed. If they talk of society, it is in high-flown fantasies. Poets are called
unacknowledged legislators, but he thinks that they are para-prophets also.


They feel the pain of the society and present it in their poems. Poetry that is immortal, is the poetry that talks of the immortal, he observed.

Dr Jernail Singh Anand is an Indian poet, with an oeuvre of 200 books, out of which 18 are epics. Laureate of Seneca, Charter of Morava, Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky Awards, he was recently crowned Best Author of the Year 2025 by a Vietnam Poetry Organization, Rhythm. He is President of the International Academy of Ethics. His name adorns the Poets’ Rock in Serbia. Anand is a towering literary figure whose work embodies a rare fusion of creativity, intellect, and moral vision.
