This is a concept related to the meaning of life.   It will be easier to understand the meaning of life under this concept.

 

The second thing we need to know is that there is no limit in our universe and our life.

 

There is no boundary in the universe. There is no ”outside” of this universe.   If you have arrived the edge of the universe and you look outside, there will  still be the same  universe outside. It can be sure that the universe is limitless.  There is no outside outside our universe.

 

The next concept is about our life.  Our life is not given by someone else.   If someone can give us life, then he must have another one to give him life.  There is no beginning of life.  And therefore, we can be sure that there is no ending of life too.

 

There is no beginning of life, and there is no beginning of the universe.

 

From here, we need to examine our pattern of thinking:

 

We know what we know, and we don’t know what we don’t know.

 

We cannot put the thing we don’t know as a fact. But we can try. You can always try something you don’t know. Only that you need to have some courage to bear the consequences. If I die because I have eaten something I don’t know, my follower will know that it is poison.

 

Therefore, you can say I don’t know what I don’t know, but still, you can try.

 

When you have the conviction that there is no ending of life,   then you may ask whether my own life has no end or not.

 

We must try to believe that our life will not die.

 

This is a believe.   And you can make it as a faith in your mind.

 

If you are sure that you will not be dying after death,  it will produce a concern within your mind.

 

The future will be a concern in you.

 

Now, it seems everything is important.

You will believe that you will be there to witness everything in the future.

 

That formulates a dream.

 

You cannot prove your dream.   But if you have really a dream,  you will have courage.  And you will have energy,  then you will have that most important life force within you. You’ll be happy,  you’ll be strong, and you will be energetic.

 

We need to repeat something here. All of the above is coming from a supposition. 

If you believe you are not dying after death,  then you might sure that it is your faith.  Though you cannot prove your faith but you can trust that faith. If you do not have that faith, your life will be short and meaningless.

All your effort in your life will be in vain after death.  So you must believe that your effort is useful.   You are not dying.  All your effort will be a part of our humanity, and it is useful and needed In the future.

 

The concept about an eternal life is always welcomed by many.  When you have that courage to trust and are willing to bear  consequences and are willing to try, you’ll be happy to built up your life force.

 

Your life could be eternal, but you cannot escape failure sometimes.

 

Yes, we all could fail. Failure is not only suffered by the individuals, even a country or civilization can fail too.

 

What if I am defeated?

 

What if we are defeated?

 

What if our civilization is defeated?

 

What if our whole nation  be eliminated from the earth?

 

Those are unavoidable misfortunes.

 

What am I going to do even if I’m not dying?

 

Our next topic is religion.

 

It is important to distinguish the following two concepts.

 

One is religious doctrines designed or  fabricated by human beings.   Once people believe you represent God, then you are the King for them.  and you can issue rules and laws for them.  People will follow your rules and laws not only a few decades, but several thousands of years.

 

But a religious leader is not the religion itself.

 

Will there be some unseen powers governing our universe  though it never give laws or books for humans?

 

This is something we cannot know or do not know.

 

But we can always distinguish the two.

 

One is the real and unseen powers behind everything.

 

The other is a very clever person who issue laws for you and he told you that if you  believe him then you will receive gifts from him.  He will give your lands and fortune and good luck etc.

 

Seems to be a very simple story. But actually it is very useful and powerful method to govern human beings for several thousands of years.

 

Now comes another cycle.

 

In a new cycle, you will not believe in this old  religious doctrines.

 

We know that human beings are going forward in cycles.

 

One cycle could last several thousand years,  no matter how absurd it was.

 

And doctrines need not to be religious.  Doctrines could be morals. Doctrines will become paradigms.  Doctrines will formulate thinking habits.    Once a really bad thinking habit is formed,  For example, the spiritual victory for Ah Q. It still prevails in today’s China.

 

However, all these bad habits will be gone in a new cycle of life.

 

The whole world is now witnessing how a weak nation is totally destroyed or eliminated soon.  That could bring in a lesson for the new cycle.

 

Therefore, failures are important in the progress of  Humanity.

 

If you believe you have an eternal life, then you will not regret that you are failed sometimes.

Because you will be there to witness your  final victory in the future cycle of life.

 

It is very clear that human beings were in the next cycle of life now.   The old paradigms of doctrines and thinking habits will be gone soon.

 

The Chinese will be Ah Q no more, and the invaders will not be suppressing any more.

 

So it is time to cheer up now.
