What is the merging of cultures?

What is the merging of cultures?

Sometimes even two rivers cannot merge together.

Their water are separate.

Hong kong is the best place to observe how the cultures merge together.

The English people have been ruling Hong Kong for a long time.   You can see many people who speak English and dress in western style in Hong Kong. But their inner way of thinking is still Chinese.  They use inner patterns to think.

Languages are a big issue in thinking patterns.  But language is not the only factor in thoughts.  Old patterns are hidden.  People feel more comfortable with older thoughts.

Even though marriage cannot change the pattern.  People are very much the same,  not in the external look,  but in the internal mind.

Merging in cultures is a long way.

How can the left-brainers merge with the right-brainers?

It can happen in some highly intelligent people, but not all.

Mainland China and Taiwan is another case.

Both are using Chinese language,  although  deviations are happening.

If the mainland side can go back into the traditional Chinese language,   a difficult problem will be solved.   I don't know why they are not doing this. Subtle under currents might play a part in the politics.

It seems going back into traditional Chinese is political.   But politics is only in the surface.  Real and important issue is in the cultural direction.

It is an important direction to follow.

Something great in history will happen.

What is the point of dying?

What is the point of dying?

When you grow old, your roots can no longer draw water, nor even support yourself; your blossoms cease to open, and your fragrance fades. One day you will eventually fall, decaying into the soil. Yet you have already fulfilled your purpose. You did not waste your existence. You have turned into nourishment, enriching others.

  (A temple in Bangkok: 昭應廟)

Why it needs to know more about the super-nature?

Why it needs to know more about the super-nature?

The nature and the super-nature is completely different.   Yet they are interrelated.

It is like the function of your mind and your body.

If you don't have a good mind, then you will not have a good body.

Although you do not know what is your mind.

But still you can keep a good mind.

Your mind might be your spirit, or you wish, or your idea,  or your concern, or your wisdom, or your love.

You can deny your mind.

You can deny the super-nature.

Everything will be as usual.

Do our nature have a mind behind?

For a very careful person, the mind of the nature is not the same as a super-nature.

But there must be something spiritual behind the reality.

You don't need to consume all your energy into the super-nature.

You just not to neglect and forget them.

Its fine to see how people study it academically.

And you can silence yourself.

You don't need to talk much, but you know.

There will be always a voice behind you.

You'll be reminded in due course.

Only that you can listen.  

Only that you keep your silence and not to be disturbed.

What is the limitation of a ghost?

What is the limitation of a ghost?

The following is an imagination about ghost.  Its not a fact and its not science.

1.

Not everyone can be a ghost,  I guess.

If everyone can be a ghost, then there will be lots of ghosts.  The planet will not have enough places to accommodate them.

Ghost stories are not often heard.   Humans are not experiencing ghosts every day.

Therefore, you can be sure that ghosts are not everywhere,  and they are not many, if they do exist.

2.

Why ghosts are always staying in the same place? 

I imagine ghosts are regional.  Many ghost stories are told by humans,  or created by humans. It seems ghosts are always living in the same area. 

The term "living" is wrong.   Ghosts are only "staying " in the same area but not "living" in the same area according to my imagination.

3.

Why ghosts cannot travel?   My ghost story about a ghost following her hair into my house is merely a personal feeling only.  It is not a proof about ghosts.

4.

Ghosts cannot see sunshine; or very positive person.   You don't need to care about them if you are the positive type.

5. 

Ghosts are different from evils,  they are not  necessarily bad, in the minds of the common people.

6.

Ghosts have a life span.......they cannot stay long.

7. 

The population or numbers of ghosts can be compare with angels.

I thought ghosts are more than angels.

You heard people talk about ghosts more than angels.

8.

I dreamed about my father's ghost many years ago when he was dead a few days before the dream.

It seems to be a very dark place and I saw two light spots coming towards me.  I knew they were my father in my dream.

I said in a shaking voice:  "Do not come close,  I am scared."

Then the spots disappeared, never came back again.  I didn't know whether he had something to say to me or not. However, it was never said.  Please note,  I am not conforming ghosts.  It is merely a dream.

What if the Chinese lost writing ability?

What if the Chinese lost writing ability?

 

If the Chinese are not using their hands to write any more,  if they are not using pens writing stroke by stroke anymore,  they will lose their hand-brain connection quickly.

The older generation will not feel it because they have been using pens since they were young.

How fast will they lose their hand-brain connections?

It might be only a few years when the computer have completely dominated all spheres of writing.

Or it might need a generation or two to delete the ability of the hand-brain connections in the Chinese mind.

Few would notice the hand-brain connection is so important.

And few would notice it will be deleted by the Chinese themselves.

Writing skills are not taught to the younger children anymore.

They have learned to use keyboards but not pens.

Teachers are simply not teaching them.

Is it a trivial matter?

When you are dealing with strong neighbors and when you are dealing with army movements,  how to use a pen seems to be nothing at all.

But it is not.

When you are carrying a baby in your arms on the battlefield, you need to take extra care.
