How long will the three kingdoms last?

How long will the three kingdoms last?

The present day Three kingdoms Era will not be the same as the old Chinese historical Three Kingdoms Period.   Although Chinese Three Kingdoms Period was a fierce fighting period,  but it lasted only 60 years.  It is so short a time, though its memory is long and lasting.

Modern day Three Kingdoms Era will be much longer.  It is because they are not fighting.  They are only watching each other. They have no intention to fight each other.   They can't do it even if they do have the intention to swallow each other.

And this period, or an "Era" could be very long.

An era of peace without war will last for a very long time.    No one can have enough power to eliminate other powers.  They will be standing like a tripod.  They have to support each other, because they cannot destroy each other.

Is it possible that  one of the big powers have a sudden growth and the growth is very fast and extremely powerful that the other two cannot match?   

This possibility cannot be ruled out because of one thing only:   That one of the three countries be completely materialized.   It means a complete failure of the spiritual effort. It means the mind is completely not used or ruined.

It is not a reality now.  No one is doing things completely for money.  They will have more or less some  senses of spiritual justification.  

Time is running fast.  No one can witness these things to happen within 100 years.  You and me will be gone by then. But it is a trend.

The trend is:  spiritual effort can stand.  The tripod cannot stand with two ends. 

Many questions remain not answered right now.

We need to see completely clearly how this tripod is constructed.

We need to see clearly the nature of Chinese and American culture.

What about Russia?

If you have not read Leo Tolstoy "War and Peace" and found the golden mind within,  if you have not deeply moved by Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake", you will not understand Russia.

It is a must for the future young people to study the three cultures.

They will thoroughly understand their own era.

Will there be an era of peace ahead?

 20260208

Will there be an era of peace ahead?

There will be an era of peace ahead within a very short time.

The United States, China and Russia will remain calm. They will not start a world war in the near future.

A peace time is certain.

It will happen this year, next year, and last until a long long time.

External factors like a certain illness or weather change will happen.   They will be united to fight against it.

They will not fight against each other and create a  period of peace.

This is the most important international situation ahead.

What will they do with their remaining energies?

Building is not the best choice.

They have enough bridges and roads.   High rise buildings are everywhere.

 The choice is art subjects.   If humans can find the real beauties on earth,  if humans can find the real beauties inside the heart,  they will have a better starting point to stand.

Starting point?

Do you mean humans need to have better airplanes and better rockets?

No.

If humans do not have a better mind, they will create nothing.  There will be nowhere for them to go.

Why the universe is not a joke?

 20260207

Why the universe is not a joke?

Suppose the universe is a huge balloon.  Suppose in the future, humans can get to the edge of the balloon. Maybe it is not the edge, but the inner layer of the balloon and you cannot go out. When you reached the top of the balloon from inside,  you might have a conviction that there must be an outer space outside this balloon.

And this is the thinking pattern of human civilization.    Inside and outside is together.   When you are inside you can expect to have an outside there.   Unless one thing happened:

Unless you can break the human thinking pattern:  And you can be sure that there is only inside and no outside.

People will say it is impossible.

And here is a question again:  what is impossible?

And you might think what will happen if there is really no more spaces "outside" our space.

Will there be only one space in our universe?

Will there be "outside" spaces somewhere?

It is a puzzle and it seems to be a joke.

But it is no joke here:

Where would you go if you died?

The answer is no one knows.

Where are our lives coming from?

Will the universe be just like a tree?  When the tree grows and grows,  then suddenly you see a flower,  and later you can see the flower changed into a fruit,  and the fruit is the source of life.

Am I talking nonsense?

Yes, it needs to think.

If you are not serious enough,  people will tell you lies in the form of a story like a religion.

And then you will be living under a lie........as long as history goes.

It is not a joke.

It is serious.

How big is the universe?

 20260106

How big is the universe?

This is a question we humans cannot answer.   Because there might be no boundary for this universe.   If you are able and if you can manage to go to the edge of the universe,   you can be sure that there will be an "outside" for your boundary.

You can create a story for this beginning.

You can create a hero who can fly extremely fast.

When your hero arrive the boundary of this universe,  he will be puzzled:  "Well,  am I supposed to reach the boundary?"   And he will be further puzzled that he is only at the beginning.

There will be some beginning, but there will not be any ending.

Every point can be a beginning point.  But there is no ending point.

Humans believed they can measure themselves.  Humans invented measurements.  Humans said they know how big is the earth.  

But the measurement might be meaningless.

Because measurement comes from compare.   You can only measure something against another something.   For example, you can use a ruler to measure.  But you can never know how big is your ruler.

Maybe one inch is one million mile in the eyes of the universe measurement.   You never know.

If you stand up, you might be as high as the moon.  Because all measurements are only temporary.  It is not true.

Now can we find the answer for the question?

How big is the universe?

Yes, you can have an answer like this:

Wow, it is really big.

How big is it?

Well,  it is very, very big.

(And then you stretch your arms wide open to show it.)

Then everyone is satisfied.

What is meaning?

 20260205

What is meaning?  

This question is strange.  I have never realize the strangeness of this question.

It means:  what is the meaning of meaning?

And then you'll come to a question of no ending.

We need a meaning for everything.

You will not do things that is meaningless.

And you will find it unteresting why some people are always doing meaningless things.

And then you ask yourself, am I doing meaningless things?

Yes, what I think meaningful is for only a very short time and a very small space, isn't it?

Will my deeds remain when I am gone?

The answer is yes.

It is yes for the result.

One result will push for another result.

One deed will produce a next deed.

Is it true or is it only a theory?

Yes, it is true.

Otherwise there will be no meaning in life.

Meaning is the only important thing.

If there is no meaning there is nowhere to go.  It is the only thing important for this universe.

Nothing is important without a meaning.

Many people are doing meaningless things.  But one meaningless thing is not meaningless for another.

You see the birds are singing and the clouds are floating...... they have a meaning if you are seeing them,  and they are seeing you like you are seeing them.

It is true and we need to believe it.

Otherwise, everything will be meaningless.

So what?

It is because we do not want our life to be tasteless.

And this is the secret of the universe.

You want it tasteful.   You do not want it tasteless.

How do life emerge from nothing?

 20260204

How do life emerge from nothing?

I can only observe how life emerges from something but not from nothing.

I had put sea water and sand in a fish tank for a month.   I observe it every day and finally I found little dark spots appeared on the glass.  They were conches.  But they were not coming from nothing.  There might be eggs in the sand.

Nothing is coming from nothing,  I suppose.

Music will not be born from a new guitar.

Creation is not from nothing.

The harder the struggle, the better the outcome.

If  China were not beaten by  foreign powers for so long a period,  New China will not have emerged.

Beating is useless to destroy.

Forgiving is better to transform:  Both sides will be  benefitted.

Wars can kill a nation, but not its thought.

It was like a doctor trying very hard to kill a kind of germs.  He tried all means to kill it but found the germs were already living inside his own body.

Try to forgive your enemies but not to destroy them.

Can life emerge from nothing?

The answer is no for humans.  Only god can create life from nothing.

We must always remember enemies were but the other kinds of lives.  They were not emerging from nothing.

The least part one can do is to leave them alone.

The better part is to help them.

The worst part is trying to destroy them.

                                      The moon’s face lights every way,

                                      May home and nation thrive—

                                      While ploughs yield every day.
