Why is it not Easy to Shift a Paradigm?

 9329 Why is it not easy to shift a paradigm? 20211228

You might still remember the old story of paradigm. It was happened during or shortly after the 2nd World War. The captain of a big ship was steering around a peaceful sea and suddenly he had found a light spot was directly in front of his ship. And the spot did not move for a while, that meant they were colliding. The captain was nervous and send a signal telling the light spot to move aside. He thought his ship was big and the spot had to move away. Its the rule of the sea for smaller ships to make way for a bigger one. But the light spot returned a signal requesting him to move instead. He was a bit annoyed and send a signal again, "We are an aircraft carrier, please turn aside." The light spot quickly answered: "We are a lighthouse."

The scenario had changed suddenly in the captain's mind and he shifted his paradigm and moved away as fast as he could be. 

However, some paradigms are not so easy to shift. 

it is a kind of much stronger scenario. Some people can easily change their faith, but not able to shift away from a super wrong paradigm. 

For example, the concept of "enemy".  99% of the people from the Western civilization had heard about the teaching of "love your enemy", however, almost none of them can understand and love their enemies instead of hating them. It happened not in a short time, but lasted for two thousand years until now. It is absolutely rare for someone to love his enemy.   

People simply cannot shift from a hate mode to a love mode. It is not a short time.  It has been lasting for a long time of two thousand years.

It is same as the captain, he was steering his ship with his gun pointing at the light spot yet he will not believe the spot was not his enemy. 

And the spot was not his friend either. He was doing something unknown and was against his will.

Then what am I aiming at? If that was not an enemy nor a friend? 

People simply cannot and will not shift his scenario in such a case.

It was extremely difficult for anyone to realise the true scenario of the picture. 

What is my target? What am I fighting for? 

The most difficult part about the concept of "enemy" is not the "enemy" itself. There is a much bigger picture on top of the concept. None could understand the term "peace" since the early beginning of the Western culture. 

It was almost until the year 1945 when the two World Wars had ended and people had suddenly found that they were in peace.

A grand-peace is ahead of us humans since the world wars.

However, humans did not notice that they will be rich if a grand peace is achieved.

Peace is wealth. Only in a completely peaceful situation then the wisdoms could have a chance to achieve the next aim for human beings. Countries were still fighting. They did not see the wealth is coming with the peace. The concept of "enemy" will have become redundant only when the real peace-plus-wealth situation happens. 

May be in future  we would discover that our aim is not "wealth" but something more than money. And we need to shift our minds again by then. 

Now, it is important to get into the age of wealth. 

And it was not funny that the captain was aiming not at the lighthouse, but his own purse. He is doing things to make himself poor. He will shift into a higher paradigm to sail in the world of money as soon as he had discovered the truth.  

 

 

What is the meaning of “Peace” in Christmas?

 9328 What is the meaning of "peace" in Christmas? 20211224

It is Christmas eve again. It is time for a very silent night. May be there is snow outside and you are warm inside. And suddenly it occured to me that, what is the real meaning of peace?. "May peace be with you", was the blessing Jesus would give his disciples. I always doubt that the Chinese translation of the word "peace" was wrong. They would translate it as "safe". The blessing would become "May safe be with you" and it could be a good reminder for us to think deeply about the word "peace". 

Does it mean the same as "world peace"? Does it mean a situation without war? Does it mean a situation we need not to blame others? Does it mean we should love our enemies? Or, does it mean only for a special time like Christmas when you are enjoying a good moment in the house? 

Yes peace is important today. It is more than a situation without war, because it is a starting point for wealth also. The age of wealth must be an age of peace. And it is only in a peaceful situation that the wisdom of mankind can be fully developed and common wealth could be really achieved. In such a sense, peace is important and urgent for the economy. 

And peace could be a mindset of wisdom also. Only those with peace but not a blame in mind could have the joy to think freely about a nice future ahead of us all. 

Why Peace is Possible only Now ？

 9327 Why peace is possible only now  20211218

We need to know what is a war and what constitutes a war. The Iraq war happened twenty years ago might give a hint for us. And that kinds of war could be the last one we could find on earth. 

War is a decision based on the believe that this war could be won and losing is impossible. This is the first condition to constitute a war.

And the believe was from a kind of calculation that one side is much more powerful than the other side. This is the second condition. 

The third condition is need or greed. When one side need urgently the land and resources from the other side, or even when the need is not more than the greed, still greedy wars could happen. 

And the fourth condition is never to be forgotten: that war needs blood. May be there would be a war of robots one day; but still, it will create hatred. And hatred could be bloody in return. Because war is not a chess game. Winners could take over other people's land and lives. There will be a war if the need or greed is so huge that people are willing to give their blood for it, war will happen. For example, safety or the pride of a nation is a honorable need, when you need to protect your country, you are willing to fight. In this sense, blood will suddenly become sacred and war is unavoidable. 

War is not a complicated matter. First you have the faith to win. Second you have the power to overcome. Third you have the need or greed. Fourth you are willing to sacrifice.  

The fifth point is most important of all, war is hatred. You will hate your enemy and not to love them. 

And suddenly the planet seems waken up from a dark night. There is sunshine both from the East and the West. 

As the most important conditions for war on our planet are missing and peace is possible the first time ever when we humans were born. 

We could see confrontation of similar powers now. No one is able to win the unwanted war if it is ever started. The planet had become balanced and will be completely balanced soon and wars will not be easy to happen.   

What will happen is the coming of the age of wealth. 

People had discovered that they will be surely rich if they can co-operate with each other in the whole planet. And the wisdom and knowledges will be greatly increased in the coming days, when humans will found they are a species more able then before. It will be a moment of true happiness and people had discovered that almost all the older problems were from a spirit of wars. Those were miserable years of hatred and mistrust that had created most of the problems for humans.  

We will not be living like a drifting bird, but an able species. All other problems like crimes and education and health care etc. will be settled more easily in a peaceful and co-operational and loving spirit in this planet. 

And it is important to keep in your sacred mind that you will be working for the peace for mankind from now on. It is the first important mission for a species of human. 

You will find strength and unbelievable power of wisdom in your mind instantly. 

As for the common folks, please be prepared that you will be rich. 

Why the Wealth should not be Delayed?

 9326 Why the wealth should not be delayed?  20211215

The age of wealth is a reality, and people need not to care how it comes into reality. You don't need to know how the pyramid was built and how the two World-Wars were fought and even, you don't need to know a volcano eruption happened 75,000 years ago in Indonesia had killed 60% of the total population on earth which was sixty million by then. What was left was twenty-four million survivors on the whole planet and that was enough for human evolution. All that is not important now though you may wonder why the Heavens are not intervening and there was no intervention. That is another important question as no intervention doesn't meant you will not get help. Mind-communication is a direction of our evolution. You can communicate with other people on earth or, to communicate with the Universe.   

Now the age of wealth is already here and smart people have already felt it. Humans will experience a time of comfort and survival not a threat like the old days when people were always starving. Major wars could be avoided, peace could be sustained.  

Yet more important is what will happen in the age of wealth. 

The first question is the wealth should not be delayed. The age of wealth depends on only one thing now. The other things such as science, culture, markets, etc. are all secondary compare to the total peace on earth. 

Humans need peace.

If the US and China can be friendly and get together always to find out solutions for the whole world, then the age of wealth is real and will not be delayed. It could be a good starting point. 

Why it should not be delayed? It is because humans need urgent and huge capital to face problems. Because we do not know what will happen next.

Global warming might be urgent, the globe is more than warming, it is burning. There are lots of methods to deal with it, yet the humans are not in one single entity to do things. We are not prepared. When every one is busy working on his own problem, important bigger issues cannot be solved. 

For example, in case the globe needs a new river, to bring sea water into the deserts to help water evaporate, yet that could not be done for any one single country. 

It seemed an easy thing to pump sea water to change the weather. Yet it needs a total effort to do it. 

Humans are too keen to build killing devices. 

There are lots of war-planes and tanks on earth. Yet it is rare to hear a self- driving fire-prevention-tank which can run into the burning forest and create a fire separation path. And there is no fire-extinguish-missiles. There are very few life-saving-robots which can go into high building to save lifes. Helicopter can only drop buckets of water into the fire but not fire-extinguishing-bomb. 

It is because, humans are not determined to face the lost of forests.

The surface of earth is so hot that we might one day be all living underground to get away from the heat and leave the land to grow forests to keep the air cool. Above ground forests can help the earth to recycle. Underground cities are urgently needed. We need hugh digging machines and lots of investments for the underground. Advanced military factories have lots of works to do now. If highways and cities are replaced by forests, you can expect a nice planet is ahead of us. 

Lots of problems needed attention. Like the nuclear leakage in Japan and Russia need global help and not to leave it unattended. There are famines in many places and those are our treasured fellow beings. Humans are still under the threat of starving and it should not had happened. With the coming wealth at hand, humans need to know what is urgent and what could be done later.  

All it need is a simple start of talking. 

When humans can start talking, all the older problems like how should a country be managed or how to live a life without the threat of virus, and even very basic philosophical ideas can be exchanged. 

That meant we are in a state of love not hate. 

And that meant humans do have a hope. 

Why is it Necessary to be Friendly with Xi ?

 9325  Why is it necessary to be friendly with Xi ?  20211211

It is completely wrong to take Xi as the enemy. Situations in the whole world is changed, according to calculation, China will be richest in the coming decades; but it might be a wrong calculation.  Things will be going much faster than expected. China might be rich in the next ten years, or even five years. Smart people will trust their own intuition more than the scholars. And it would never be wrong to be well prepared.

Why Xi?

Some people are taking him as the number one enemy and that is more than wrong; it is fatal. 

Because, China is not a solid country yet. China is composed of different division of thoughts and the under currents are so huge that sudden change is possible. 

When people in the United States are supporting the under currents with ample supplies of money and resources, they could never believe that if one day the under currents have grasped the power and become rulers of China, they will be obedient no more. By the time, the United States will be facing a much bigger power and will be weaker to say anything with the super power they are encountering. 

That is the true scenario you could thought of. Will your boss obey you? It is the most absurd thing to imagine. You have created a boss and your boss will be arriving soon.  

Why should the United States be friendly with Xi?

Why Xi?

It is because, Xi is moderate. Xi is humble and Xi is not radical like the right-wing powers in the States. If one day China had changed into Chi-merica, and be ruled by a party of self-interest minded people, they would in turn take over the position of a boss and the United States will be their first worry and they will start beating, guarding and limiting the new enemy which is the older United States. 

Time is running extremely fast. Xi will be getting old and so does President Biden. History will not have the patience to produce another two clever people like Xi and Biden. They are more or less the same type of people and history will not produce another pair for the world. 

We need to beat the time, not our so-called enemies. 

It is urgent time to create peace, not war.

Will There be Fortune in the South America?

 9324  Will there be fortune in the South America?  20211209

When the early colonists sailed across the ocean to reach the Southern part of the Americas, they saw fortune. Vast land, impenetrable forests, long rivers, and all kinds of different people. It is a fortune to be made here. They had brought many things to the land. Some knowledge and lots of sadness. The land was looted and rubbed because of the fortune. 

And soon the land was forgotten. Except some small countries who were not obeying and created a threat for the far away rich countries. Distance political arms will arrive.                                            

Important is: Will there be still a fortune? 

No one could see fortune in the format of yesterday. 

Situations had changed and the age of wealth has come. And the Motto is the same:

If you can make other people happy, then you will be happy. That could be explained in another way:

If you can make other people rich, then you will be rich.

We can expect a long and modern high-speed rail built from the far end of Argentine to Canada, going through Mexico and the United States, of course. 

To build a high-speed rail in the United States is not easy. Too many considerations would need decades to debate. Yet to build one in Mexico is much easier. The point is whether people could see the inner truth of wealth. The age of wealth would come only in a peaceful world. And you can expect not only a rail, but the virus will be gone when minds have changed. This is a give away era, not a take away era. Fortunes could be created not looted. The wasted resources in the Americas will soon wake up. When every one is happy, the planet will see sunshine once more.

Who could bring fortune to the world? 

The answer is in the minds.   

How Easy is the Age of Wealth?

 9323 How easy is the age of wealth 20211205

The age of wealth is a time when all people on earth are really rich. They are not only rich in money, but rich in mind and culture. 

And the age of richness is already here. It is like two great rivers coming to a meeting point, they are already here, all the need is to remove a little stumbling block. 

US and China are getting together within an arm's reach. All problems will be naturally solved. And other problems like Russia and Ukraine are subject to the basic relation of US-China. All of them will be true friends in a short time. The next bigger problem is in the Middle-east. If problems like the relation of US and China could be solved, then the Middle-east problem is easy. 

How easy could that be? 

The motto is one line only: If you can make other people happy, then you will be happy. 

For example, how can the US make the Mexicans happy? If Mexicans are happy, they will not create immigration problem. And that is extremely easy: to use the money for the US-Mexico Wall to build a high-speed rail for them, their economy problem will be eased and immigrants are busy working to build the railways. A Wall will not create money, it creates problem, but a high-speed rail could do things otherwise. 

And the high-speed rail can go North into the US and Canada, and reach to the South till the end of Argentine. It could be another gold-mine like the old days in Alaska.  All the wasted resources in South America will be waken up.  Who is paying for the construction fee?

 You can expect that is extremely easy when the relations are turned from the war feeling into a friendly mood. It is only a simple matter.

No one wants to fight in the age of wealth. That is for sure. 

Everyone wants to be rich; and it will help the minds rich, too. 

A smart planet is a rich planet. 

 

Are we prepared for the coming Age of Wealth？

 9322 Are we prepared for the coming Age of Wealth？20211202

 In the coming age of wealth, countries will be much richer, and people will be much older. It is more than an age of wealth, it is an age of wisdom, too. One recent finding in Hong Kong discovered that, people born after the year 2020 will have an average of time span of 100 years in Hong Kong. People are not prepared to accept the news. If they can vote, they will veto it. As people are too worried about how to care the aged people, they have not found the benefit of it. 

People are able to free themselves from the sex pressure for the first time. They don't have to worry getting sex urges fulfilled. They are not living for sex. They would have more time to think, and are free from the pressures. As all sex pressures are not only sex pressures, it is actually materialistic. Money pressure is another form of sex pressure. And now people are all in their older form of survival, they are experienced people of 70's, 80's, 90's and 100's. They are not teenagers anymore. They would be wiser and can think more deeply.   

What will happen in the age of wealth?

Yes, people are much richer, much wiser and more peaceful. 

To stop the wars are the first step towards the age of wealth. Yet it is far not enough to create wealth. A peaceful planet is good for the market but not good enough. 

Countries need to become real brothers and sisters, they need to have a deep trust to each other and can combine all their effort to create wealth. As wealth is more than money. Wealth includes the wealth of wisdom which needs unlimited flow of the minds all over the world. 

They need to trust each other and that meant they are really loving each other. To love an unknown person is easier than to love a second country. Countries are now treating each other as potential threats, not trusted friends. All will be different if counries are friends not enemies. 

Are we prepared to become rich? 

Are we prepared to be friends, not enemies?

That would be the first step towards an age of wealth.
