We are living in a good time now. Human beings will be living as a grand being more than separated individuals. To compare with the money-oriented past, humans will be living in a wisdom-oriented future. It will be a status of true love. Humans need not to kill each other to survive, they will co-operate. They are leaving the historical dark ages and going to a brighter future. 

It is because humans had found a better way to live.  Humans had evolved into a  cooperation status.  Thinking pattern has changed.

Natural evolution has made human beings wise.  And evolution has made their bodies changed. They are developing inner connections between themselves.

Humans had entered the age of socialism since the end of world war II.

When we estimate this special period of human history, we are looking at trends, not  countries. We need to know where would we be going.

Humans were riding on a machine, it seems to be flying now.

It is like the first flying airplane ever invented. 

It's not  perfect for airplanes. It's far from perfect. But it's the first flying machine. It can fly. All other machines cannot fly, except this one. It is not the performance of  a single country, but a trend of our time.  We are in the form of lonely individuals no more.  We are living in the form of a wise cooperation.  We are living in the form of one. 

By the time of a cooperation period, one of the major concern is China.

China is merely one of the early models of it.

It could be the process of history. And it could be the process of evolution. Humans must be in the upper ladder of evolution now. It's just like climbing the stairs. They need a strength to go up.  It is not easy. It is hard work. But it does worth to try.

In the process of evolution, humans will develop many skills never seen before. They can read other people's mind. They can listen other people's inner voice. They will cooperate in a higher form of existence. They will use less language. They will use more inner  communications. Humans are not individuals anymore. They will have more inner strength. They will not rely on external force like the old times. They will solve  problems between countries with an inner communication method.  They need no more wars,  as they are communicative internally. 

It will happen within the next 1000 years.  Don't worry that you're not there to witness the change. Because if we are one, our perception about life is different. There will be a deep concern for anyone of us to consider about the well being of humans 1000 years later. Our perceptions about life in the old days are short,  life was a short span around one hundred or so . And now  our perception about life is long. We are thinking about a grand phenomenon of the humans. Anyone will have a  different vision now,  if he is willing to pick up that vision.

Do I need such  perception  to think in terms of a total being?   Yes,  It helps a lot. It helps one to be happy and healthy. You will live longer than others. If you can conceive that you are one of the whole, your concern have reached to the grand universe. You have the eyesight of a universe being. You will fear nothing.  And you are free.

We are leaving the ugly old days now.  We are not money-oriented anymore.  In the old time, one will need to fight for his own survival. That was the need for individuals, or families. And in the upper level of our life, we are not money-oriented anymore. Money  was the origin of sin in the past.   And actually,  money is not sin,  we cannot say that was a sin.  Humans were just like lonely tigers, they need to survive to act like a fierce  individual beast.  Now we are wisdom-oriented.  We need not to be selfish anymore.

You may ask why are there so many selfish people still?  All we need is to remember one thing: That we are on an up hill travel. We are on a flying airplane like the one human first invented. It can fly. It can fall. It is not perfect. It needs our effort to work on it. 

During the course of evolution, there must be someone going faster in two legs. There must be some people who couldn't do that. They can only walk in legs plus hands.  And there will be a day no one will be walking in four limbs.  That is called  evolution.  No one is selfish in the future.

And it is not the same old fashion airplane we had.  Future people need  more socialist countries. There will be better and better socialist countries in the future.

We will be loving each other more than before.  Because we had parted with the past. And we are entering a future of wisdom-oriented  history. 

For the time being, China the socialist country is far from perfect. They are still walking in 4 limbs sometimes. But the time will come.  There will be a time when all are walking in 2 legs. And there will be no selfish  people.  Everyone will be honest.  It won't be long.

If anyone can perceive this, he can have a perception of  Millenniums. He will join the mind of the grand being. He will not die.

 

Which Country Will be Leader of the World? (revised)

 9381  Which country will be leader of the world?       20220713

All because of a sudden death of a young man whom I knew that the question was raised. 

He is not Chinese, and to avoid unnecessary guess,  I will not talk about his nationality. It is not important. 

He was rich, and young. He came to Hong Kong according to family arrangement. He worked for a famous bank and was earning huge money at his early young age. He was only twenty something. His family meant to let him work in Singapore, but he chose Hong Kong.    

He died suddenly by falling from a high building roof-top private garden. I believe he was not suicide. He was drinking with his girlfriend in the house. Several wine bottle was left on the table. It was believed that he was on drug at the moment when he fell. A few drugs were found in the house later. His girl friend was staying in the house and he was alone on the roof-top. 

Why did he go up the roof top? 

Maybe he felt hot or he had a fancy of something. 

The point is the aim of life. He has got the things most people wanted. He has got a girlfriend, sex, money and he finds it not enough, he indulges himself on drugs. 

What is he looking for?  It is “pleasure” the common goal in many countries. 

Some philosopher told us that pleasure, or happiness is the only thing which could not be an aim in life. Whenever you start seeking for pleasure, you will not have it. And the only result is vain. Happiness is something which will enter your life without your awareness. When you are working for something  earnestly and concentrated, suddenly happiness will be there. It is not an aim; it could only be a second product of your effort.

Why do we need to tell such a story when we are talking about the leadership of mankind? 

Yes, many people had an illusion that it was money that matters.  A leading country must be the richest country in the world. 

And it was wrong. 

A true leadership does not need to be rich. 

It was like a group of people who were lost in a dark forest. It was not money that can lead them to a safe place, but the knowledge of a direction. 

Do you know about the purpose of life? and the purpose of human beings?

Do you know the way out of the forest? 

Some one would laugh at such an idea. He will say, when I have got the money, I will find out a way. That was why I need to tell the story of a young man falling from a height. Money could help a little. But it needs something else for a direction. 

It needs a wisdom to know the meaning of life. 

The country which knows it, and acts on it, should be the leader of the world. Because if the country knows the meaning of life, they would surely have a proper way to lead a better life. Anyone who knows the way out of the dark forest will be the leader. Others will follow. 

What is the point? 

The point is:

Wisdom is more important than money. 

And this is the opposite of human behavior now. 

All countries are  taking "science"  very seriously. They thought it is the only thing that could bring in money and if your country have money, even you are sure that your country is on the way to destruction, and it is ok. 

Very talented young arts people were ignored. Arts subject like Music, Literature, and Painting etc. remain unnoticed always. Old philosophers would be beggars and will die on the street. Who would mind to think about the things not related to “development” or “investment”?  "Investment" is for commercial purpose only. People will not care to give a dime for the arts. They have money, but they just don't care to spare a few coins. It is the wisdom within them determined their thought.  They have been too eagar for an external success. 

"Science" is a name very different few hundred years ago. "Science" meant only money now in the modern world. Many of the rich science people do not have curiosity. They had forgotten to search for the meaning of life long ago. 

Any country who could find out the meaning of life will lead the world. Money or nuclear weapons could not lead the world, only wisdom could.

And the following issue seems interesting. 

The Chinese Monkey King Sun Wu Kong had almost found the answer when he entered hell and fetched the Directory of Death from the King of Hell the Yama Raja, he was very angry to have found his own name "Sun wu Kong" was on the list of the Directory of Death. He deleted his own name immediately. That meant he will not die from now on. Because the  Directory had a time table for every body in the world, and every body will die on time. Since he had deleted his own name, he was sure to enter eternity. 

And it was in this place Chinese philosophy was meeting with the West. 

What if you are in Heaven already? What if you will not die? What is the meaning of a person living eternally? What is the purpose in going to the Heavens? Do you like Eating and Drinking and Having Sex and Drugs every day? 

That is the puzzle of the Western civilization. And China also.

It is a difficult question:  What is the meaning of eternity? Why we all wish to have it?

The lucky thing in human history was that we had entered the Age of Socialism.  

Humans are  regarded as a whole and humans are more than individuals. The whole species will last longer.  

Socialism is not a perfect design and  needs modification, but the concept is not the same with the old idea of individualism. 

When each and every person can see himself as an image of a total specis, he will have a new vision.

Humans are regarded as a whole. The purpose of human life could be seen more clearly.  

There will be love in the whole more than individual fighting. 

And to search for the meaning of a whole is much easier than the meaning of a self. 

Those are not selfish will find out the direction of life more easily. 

It is sure that humans will have a bright future under the leadership of a country of wisdom. 

It is a very clear point that leadership is related to wisdom more than wealth. Who will be the leading country in the future?  It is only about their wisdom, not necessary their socialistic or capitalistic approach. 

There were no socialistic concepts in earlier history. However, a different  idea about how humans should be living appeared. It is in the very early beginning of the Age of Socialism now. We do not know how long the Age of Socialism will last, but it is obvious that to search for the future is better through a whole body than  single units. 

This is the ultimate reason why you need to love your country. To think in the terms of a whole country is more effective than to think for the selfish self or family interest.

One will have a deeper and wider vision for this.

  

 

How could the CHINA-US conflict be settled?

 

9380  How could the China -US conflict be settled?       20220703 

The conflict could be settled in a higher level of wisdom of both the countries. 

When  they have reached to a higher level of wisdom, they could see the real interest of themselves as well as the world.

 

We shall examine the situation if they cannot reach the higher level and we might need to know the following:-

(1) What will happen before they have reached the higher level. 

(2) What needs to be done in such a situation.
