What is Future?

9302 What is Future?  20210730

Human future will be great. 

Humans are evolving and becoming better and better.  

Humans were given a pair of hands through evolution, and then they have brains. 

Hands and brains are tools. With a pair of good hands and a bigger brain, humans  have acquired a soul. 

What else could humans have and to what stage they will grow? 

The stages are limitless, as time is unending. 

That could be a picture beyond imagination. However, one would wonder, what is the purpose of being a human. 

All problems on earth will be eliminated sooner or later. Things like poverty and unequal status will be gone. Our wisdom will be raised up a lot. Humans will be always happy.  

For example, some people are lagging behind and they have a simple brain of few steps only.  Some could think in one or two steps ahead of the chess game. I want it, or I kill it.  Clever people have more steps in their brains. 4 or 5, or even more. It took a talented manager to have 10 or more steps in their brain. But they are still not wise enough. They are only working on the same level, and they do not have any upper angle view. 

In the long course of evolution, this problem will be problem no more. Future people will be very smart and will be very wise. They would see things in the inner side and would be super heroes.  

They will have more tools to think. 

They can communicate without seeing. They will develop unseen waves to talk to each other. 

They will see things in the pass. And they will see the future, if the evolution process is going on smoothly. 

They can talk to people in the pass. That meant they can communicate with dead people. For example, one  can talk with Albert Einstein and question about his theory. 

If people can break the barriers of reality, they could reach many spheres unheard of before. They can even talk to souls beyond the reality curtain. 

They can use the data base built up for the Universe, and even they can consult the Creator of this Universe directly.  

If such abilities be acquired or given to, what is the use of it? 

It meant humans will be more able. And what is the use of it?  

One would wonder, they would have got more wisdom in their minds. 

Yet wisdoms are also tools. What are wisdoms for? 

There must be a Mission for humans. 

We humans must be in the course to better equip ourselves and be prepared to go for a certain Mission. 

If everyone so wise and nice in the future, then what kind of Mission is ahead of these good people? 

It must be a very important and great Mission. And we humans will succeed in that Mission. We would have great pleasure in the long process of the unending Missions in the future. 

And the old question would come up again. 

What is the final target of the Missions?

And the old answer would be given once more: that the beauty is in the course of your path. You will find all things in the courses, not the final targets.     

That meant you can have it now.

What is future? 

Future is a Mission.

What is the Basic Attitude of Life in Chinese Civilization?

 9301  What is the basic attitude of life in Chinese civilization? 

There is no such concept as a “Doomsday” or a “Last Judgement” in the thoughts of the Chinese Civilization. They have never thought of an end of all mankind. In the Chinese concept, to grow is the greatest virtue of the Universe.  Growing is an unending process which will carry on without end. 

Chinese civilization is different from the West. Most of the Western religions believe that there is an end of the world. Judaism, Christianity, and Muslim have similar concepts about the end and a final judgement.  The first concept was from the Zoroastrians. They were from the Persian empire when Zoroastrianism was first developed. And the thought about the end of the world spread around the world since. They all believed that the world and the human race was created by a God and will be destroyed by the same God. ( please note: a “God” is not the same as a “Creator” in Chinese culture.)

There is an unexpected result of this doomsday concept. That meant there was no future for human race. 

One of the most imminent and direct result is that humans will not have a sense of hope. They would seek material comfort instead. Money is the only shorter term of safety for them. 

And this thought is the basic problem of the Western minds. It is more than any other harm to the minds. 

Central problem of the West is that each and every people is a “self”. There will not be any guarantee for the single units in the society. And the world is going to nowhere.  There will be no comfort for anyone. The lucky ones will have a family, yet families will be broken sooner or later when the time is passed. Anyone will be a lonely self when the final destruction comes. Human race will not be a comfort for them as they believe humans will be destroyed soon. And it needs not a religious people to believe that. Even the non-religious people cannot avoid this common believe when the scientists keep warning of a global warming or other mishaps which is bound to happen. It is darkness over the heads of Western people.

One of the symbols will be the street sleepers in major United States cities. They have some money from the Government and they are not hungry yet they have no homes and have to sleep on the streets. There are no sense of safety or happiness for them. They are the grey clouds of the Western capitalism. 

Capitalism is a system of  “self”.  Capitalism is composed of single units.  A sense of individual self is basic mindset of the West.  Yet it is very satirical to see similar pictures in China.  One of the forums run by the Chinese science people name their forums “SELF”, just to promote a sense of “self-respect” like the Beijing University people. (please refer to the attached photos)

Basic attitude of life in Chinese civilization is to grow, they do not believe in doomsdays, and they are choosing a cooperative way to organize their society. Socialism is a form of mutual help and love. 

And to grow means to evolve. The course of evolution will be a long and unending process. Humans will have a bright future. It’s a picture beyond imagination. A new revelation will be ahead of our time and tell us what the future will be. And that meant hope. Hope is real when people started to give up selfish thoughts and started to think about working together and loving each other.  And we will get over the shadows of selfish “selfs”.

What is the Spirit in Beijing University?

9300  What is the spirit in Beijing University   20210721

"One must live for a great cause",  my teacher wrote for me in my Junior high school graduation ceremony. I kept that in memory and will never forget. 

"One must build his self-respect", this is the line given to the students in a graduation ceremony in Beijing University recently. 

It is contrary to the spirit of China. China is a good example of human evolution. Humans have been changing from a self-interest period to a cooperation period. Selfless dedication is the new spirit in China. To serve the people is the goal for the best students in China.  

A representative of the teachers gave a short speech in the ceremony and won many applauses. It was the response from the students which is an alert to see how the spirit in Beijing University has been decaying. 

Self-honor, Self-trust, Self-illumination, Self-assurances, Self-love, etc. were the theme of the so-called self-respect. Its all centered in the self while the main trend of   a selfless dedication spirit to serve the people was neglected. 

The speaker did not mention about the people and the country. His concern was how should one build his own self-respect only. That was Confucian doctrine. And the spirit of Confucianism must have been creeping in the University for a long time. The students gave long applause for the speaker. The moral in Beijing University was shown in that moment.

Is there any other forces besides gravitation?

 9299  Is There Any Other Forces Besides Gravitation    20210712

“

This is an important question. I hope it could arouse some interest for those really concerned. 

Will gravitation be the only force to govern things on the planet? 

Will the “Qi” be the other option playing a part on the planet also?              

As the astronauts in the Space station need to stay a very long time; the threat of Osteoporosis and Muscle atrophy is serious. They need to do lots of exercises to prevent such diseases to happen. 

Could it be helpful if they do the exercises with Qi consciously ?

It was said in a place of weak gravitation, muscle and bone will not be strong enough to sustain themselves. And the question is whether Qi has a bonding force for the tissues and cells?

The Chinese people had discovered that “Qi” is another strange force in the human body.  Qi might be a bonding force in our body. Qi is possibly a combining strength of the cells. Qi is helpful in healing. 

In a place without much gravitation like the Space station, it must be a good chance to do experiments of Qi, to test whether it is the other force besides gravitation. 

If the Qi exercises can help astronauts free from the threats of the muscle and bone diseases, it will be a prove that besides gravitation, there are other forces on the planet too. Please do not regard this idea funny and naïve, it could push the human sciences up a level if proven true, or, a serious doubt about the old science is born. Isaac Newton needs not be absolute.

What is a Slogan ?

 9297  What is a slogan ?   20210707

At first, I was not sure about the slogan until I read a story about a school headmaster who ran a high school for girls in the mountains and made all of them a chance to enter university and never return to the poor mountain villages anymore. 

The slogan is “Knowledge alters fate”

There were lots of slogans to encourage study in the past. 

“There are houses of gold in the books; there are pretty girls like jade in the books.”

“Study to secure a position in the Government” or, “Study to become an Officer”

And these slogans did have a huge effect on young people when they are forced to study the books they didn’t like much. 

And now the new slogan is everywhere.

The point is not whether knowledge alters fate or not. Though people may or may not aware what is fate and what is knowledge. The point is when the girls did secure places in the universities, they were told not to come back to the poor villages. 

What is the purpose of knowledges, then? Is it for selfish interest only?

And, who is the one to push the slogan into the media and everywhere? Where does it come from? 

It is a must to know what is knowledge and what is the purpose of knowledge and then, you will not be weaken by such slogans. 

There was a highly respected school in Hong Kong since the colony days with the name: “School for the Children of Laborers”. Now the school changed its name into something else. It seems they don’t think they are working for children of laborers anymore. The new name is “School to Create Knowledge”

Can knowledge be created?

I have a good time when I visit a small café in the Sports field. It is an outdoor café with birds coming often. I would throw some bits of bread for them. They would wait patiently for the bits. I would joke with them to throw small bits of paper instead. They pecked on the paper bits and never eat them. All of them knew what is bread and what is paper. They knew that breads are eatable and papers not. 

We can turn a complicated issue into a simple one here. Why do they know that is paper and never allow papers to be swallowed? Is the knowledge built-in before they were born? Or the smell of the paper seems different? 

We have two issues here. 

One:  papers are not for eating. It is the rule of the nature. 

Second:  birds do have a device in their bodies. The device might be something like a measuring tool for them. They could check things out with the measurement. We humans have the measuring tools too. We would not be happy with some kinds of smell and will never allow them to enter our nose and mouth. There were discussions in the past that if the measurement tools were given by the creator or acquired by human beings themselves. And this is important though it is not easy to make a firm judgement.  

What is a knowledge then? 

There are two angles about knowledge. One is the nature side, there is a rule for everything. Two is that you will know the rules with some effort. 

And the more important part is in the Third:  That we can learn something not only by oneself but by the whole team of human beings in a long history since we were in the planet. And knowledges did not exist in our single body only but in a huge network stretching from ancient times till now.  

Knowledge is a network and we can learn it in a cooperative way. 

What will happen if we know more and more until one day, we can be sure that we cannot knew it all but still we are learning and would never stop?

That is because, we have another device in our bodies: we will be rewarded with a  happy feeling to know. With this feeling, we are building our confidence day by day by questing. 

We would be more able and can dedicate more. That meant we are freer. 

That is a strange concept. You are free already and you want more free? 

Yes, that is why we all have a special interest to know the ultimate secret of the nature and would be willing to dedicate more about that. 

And all of us will remember the Chinese ancestor Kua Fu who died running after the Sun wishing to know where is the Sun going. He left a stick on the ground and it had become a big forest since then. 

There must be a pleasure bigger than everything even dying could not stop him and the pleasure or, a strong yet strange determination within him supported him to do that.  

What is knowledge and what is the purpose of knowledge?

You will know it sooner or later.

Why the Swan Lake is so difficult to understand?

  9296 Why the Swan Lake is so difficult to understand ? 20210703

Almost none of the productions in the past few decades can reach the height of the original version of the Swan Lake. The only best version was a performance by Anthony Dowell and Natalia Makarova. You can view it from YouTube: “Swan Lake Makarova Dowell”.

The story is simple, yet few can understand. 

The Princess was bewitched by the Devil, turning her into a slave swan. The Prince wanted to shoot the Devil to save the Princess, however, the Princess used her body to stop the shooting. She told him that if the Devil is dead then the spell will never be broken, and she would remain a slave swan forever. The spell is that the Princess must find a true love. If she can find one, then the spell will be broken. 

Almost none of the productions in the long years can understand the point. They thought it is easy to break the spell. They would stage a scene to let the Prince fight with the Devil and it happened in almost all the productions that it is easy for the Prince to kill the devil with his external muscle. 

They do not know what is true love. 

In the original version, the Princess finally jumped into the cliff and the Prince followed immediately. It was in this moment the mind of the two was shown and the Devil felt to his final death on the stage floor, as the spell is finally broken. May be the jumping is not acceptable to many and they cannot find another scenario to show what is true love. And it is very strange once they cannot know what is true love, the whole production would become tasteless and the other dances and music in the production would be mediocre. 

The question is can you kill the devils by putting them into jail?

And it is not easy to “educate” the new generation about what is true love.

Many cannot even “love” anyone in this material world. They know only to “own” someone and chase after material life.

However, we have found that the scenario is changing. 

Humans are changing in the human evolution.

Humans are changing from a state of self-interest to a state of mutual cooperation. 

It is the basic difference of Capitalism and Socialism. Though the world is complicated and many different thoughts appeared, but the trend is here. We humans are changing from a selfish mindset to a total mindset. Humans need to cooperate more than war. It is not easy to predict how long the process will last and what would happen during the evolution stages. However, one would easily know the direction of the human progress. 

Yet the most difficult part is you will not know who is the devil. They are all hidden and disguised. And you need to fight with them. They would take over your country and sell it. Human evolution had to suffer such setbacks sometimes. History will not be easy and straightforward.

And the Swan Lake has a clue. 

The only tool to fight with the devil is “True Love”.

What is “True Love” then? 

We human beings are evolving from a status of selfishness to a status of mutual cooperation. 

And true love needs to completely understand life. 

Life is not material posession but dedication. 

Life is not to bully, to loot, to fight for personal interest. Life is to give, to work, to help, to love.

When all these had become a norm for this and next generations, the devil will be gone. 

We are living in a material and filthy society, there are lots of place for the devils to hide. They can hide decades and decades waiting for a time to overturn the country. 

Our first question is why the Swan Lake is so difficult to understand. 

Now we have the second question: Why true love is so difficult to understand? 

If we can understand life which is not difficult, we would definitely know what is true love. And we would win the war with the hidden devils.

內外和陰陽有甚麽不同？(舊文新讀)

 

8572 內外和陰陽有甚麼不同？ 20131022




內外是莊子的想法， 而陰陽是老子的想法。至於漢代出現的陰陽五行學說， 則是後期發展， 未必和老子有直接關係。

內是本質。任何事情， 都有一種內在的本質。但這種本質， 是需要透過全面溝通去知道的。所謂全面溝通， 就是用盡人所能應用的全部已知及未知的感覺與知覺能力的訊息傳遞。例如人的直覺就是一種未知感覺。你不會知道直覺何時出現， 亦不能精確定義何謂直覺。但是， 一個殺手在面前出現的時候， 有的人， 會知道對方不懷好意。

最有名的例子是差利卓別靈。他的創意、誠意和直覺能力， 無庸置疑。他在自傳中提到， 有一次在路上口渴， 進入一家小店向店主討水喝。店主給了他一大杯水。他忽然感覺不妥， 無論如何不想把那杯水喝了。又不好意思當著那人的面把水倒了。只好裝模作樣， 把水拿到店外倒掉。明天看報紙才知道， 那人是殺人凶手， 他剛剛用一種名叫木鱉子的毒藥， 混進水裡毒死了兩個人， 屍體就躺在樓上。

以上事例， 有點神秘， 不可思議， 難以解釋。而我們都可能肯定： 不明白， 不等於沒有可能。能夠迅速把握事情的內在本質， 才是克敵致勝之道。

相比之下， 外也不是不重要的。只是由於人類所慣用的視聽嗅味觸等感覺能力， 可以很快就知道甚麼事情正在發生。外在訊息， 一下子就能知道。但是， 內在訊息， 卻需要更多一些智慧。

外在訊息是相對容易獲得的。現代化的科技， 相隔半個地球也能竊聽和偷窺。而有一種現象是：愈是依賴外在偵測技術， 就愈不能了解事物的內在訊息。躲在密室裡指揮的政治家， 常常無法判斷形勢， 就是這種緣故。相反是需要依靠自己的一雙腿。走出去， 實地觀測感受， 那種感覺， 才是真實無欺， 不會把人蒙在鼓裡。

內在本質是不容易的， 更不是略用微力， 就可能獲致。出門走走，也往往只是遊行散心而未必是用心。

內在本質不容易， 但卻並非不可能。按照莊子哲學， 萬物是溝通為一的。只要用心， 了解自己是萬物一體， 溝通就是可能的。相愛， 有內在溝通。自覺與宇宙萬物一體， 也有內在溝通。相反是唯利是圖， 自外於一切人與一切物， 就不可能了解。所謂直覺， 對於漠不關心的人， 只是廢話。這種現象， 與一種名叫「思想單位」的認知能力相關。若果思想單位只是個人，事事從一已出發， 只知重視自己的家庭和小單位利益， 或只知民族國家而不知道宇宙天下， 思想單位狹隘、封閉， 都不利溝通， 亦無助於了解內在。

＊ ＊ ＊

內外是和陰陽完全不同的兩種哲學想法， 但奇妙在於， 若是不能了解何謂內在，又或以為內在就是內裡， 就很容易混淆兩者。一旦了解何謂內在， 以後的所有其他哲學觀念， 都再難不到你了。

內外是莊子所提出的哲學心念（mind-concept)。這是中國人因為中文的緣故而特別有利的思辨模式。莊子最初只提出了數個心念， 例如大小， 自由， 一， 道通為一， 等等。就中， 最具震撼性的是「大」的心念。因為， 那時的人， 從未有自高空鳥瞰地球的印象。莊子提了出來， 「大」的想法， 從此就無法擺脫了。儒家中人以為， 大是值得追求的理想境界。所謂「有容乃大」， 目標就是要大。而老子更提出， 道就是大。以為「道大， 天大， 地大， 王亦大。」

而老子更從中提取了一種對立觀念。以為宇宙萬物都是互相對立， 而且可能互相轉化的。白天會轉為黑夜， 而生亦會變為死。陰陽就如同其他對立物， 例如高下， 大小， 長短等等一樣， 是可以互相轉化的。

老子的對立思想， 以為宇宙萬物都是對立的， 只有兩種形態： 非陽即陰， 非男即女，非大即小， 等等。而後代策略家的想法， 更是功利性質極強的。以為， 若要達成目標， 從另一個方向著力就可以更加省力， 用陰力比陽力更佔便宜。例如， 想要殺死一個人， 只要捧他上天就可以了。他自己會摔下來的。想要開除一個不聽話的手下， 把他升職就可以了。

本來， 這是一種相對簡單的思想。後代的五行學說， 已經完全不同。五行觀念是提出了金木水火土等五種相生相剋的觀念， 並非單一對立的。

想不到的只是， 這種從陰面著力的文化， 從漢代開始， 已經在兩千年的中國文化造成嚴重影響。陰面著力，後門開放， 已成習慣。以秘密手段搞政治， 走後門而不走前門， 本來只是一種腐朽的官場習慣。但其實卻是對於整個中國文化， 造成了封閉視野的大災害。

值得研究的是毛澤東的純陽手法。文化大革命之前， 所有的政治鬥爭都已經進入地下。祕密黨派， 已經把中央嚴密包圍。毛澤東的手法是從中央直接發出強烈訊息， 呼籥民眾起來。他說， 那是一種「陽謀」。關於文革的是非， 並非本文簡單可以描述。但是， 從中國哲學發展出來的陰陽思想， 以至種種秘密政治的形態， 卻是中國文化長期無法健康成長的大因素。

8572 內外和陰陽有甚麼不同？ 20131022



…

How do you kill a devil?

 何謂「心魔」？何謂「真愛」？何謂「真」？

………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8213 　　　　2011 0812 Friday)　　　　
　
　
　　如果說，地球上所有的大問題，都是人性中的心魔所做成，大約是接近的。
　
　　如果人心之中，沒有了這一種偏向，今日的難題，也容易解決些。
　
　　何謂「心魔」？
　
　　在西方觀念之中的魔，雖然與中國人的觀念有所不同，但基本想法是很接近的。中國人心中之魔，較為抽象，而西方之魔，則較為具體。
　
　　關於「魔」的概念，在西方芭蕾舞劇《天鵝湖》中，有明確顯示。
　
　　故事說，美麗的公主被魔鬼變為天鵝。王子非常氣憤，彎弓搭箭，想一箭射死魔鬼。正當他瞄準的時候，天鵝公主立即跳到王子跟前，用身體擋著王子的弓，懇請王子不要發射。王子愕然，既是魔鬼，射死了不就解決問題了嗎？但公主解釋：如果殺死了魔鬼，魔鬼的咒語，就不能破了。天鵝公主也永遠不可能變回人。所謂「心魔」，就是一種可怕的咒語，使人變為鬼的咒語。
　
　　那麼，怎樣才能破解咒語呢？
　
　　標準答案是：要用「真愛」。只有「真愛」才是魔鬼的剋星。
　
　　但甚麼才是「真愛」？
　
　　或者，我們今天熟讀莊子的中國人，會比較容易明白。
　
　　把生命徹底投射出去，就是真愛。而所謂「把生命徹底投射」，就是知道生命的價值，在於付出，而不在於佔有。本來這就是一個很簡單的觀念。我們一生的努力，所賺的每一分錢，所做的每一件事，都是付出的，而不是佔有的，更不能帶進棺材的。
　
　　這就是生命的最大奧秘：真愛就是付出，而徹底的真愛，是為了整個的大生命，而願意徹底付出自己。有了這一種信念，任何魔咒，都不能產生作用。魔鬼是只有用這種辦法，才能殺死的。如果不是用這種徹底付出的辦法，魔是殺之不盡的。
　
　　問題是：今時今日世界上所有的難題，都能如此這般地解決嗎？
　
　　或者可以的。絕對的誠意，是解決一切問題的起點。
　
　　甚麼叫做「真」？
　
　　「真」就是絕對。就好像一個人死了，絕對不能把財物帶走那樣的「絕對」。生命的本質，就是絕對的。生就是生，死就是死。一就是一，二就是二，是非是絕對分明的。世界上，沒有半生不死，或半死不生的那一回事。半愛半不愛，又愛又不愛的，都只是藉口。愛是不會拖泥帶水的。一個真愛的人，他的一生，就是絕對付出的一生。有付出，就沒有保留，更不會佔有。對於這樣的人，魔鬼是無能為力的。對於這樣的世界，魔鬼是不能生存的。
　
　　以上三大問題：何謂「心魔」？何謂「真愛」？何謂「真」？看以複雜，其實非常簡單。在未來的美好世界裡，是人人都知道的。
　
　　真愛這個世界的朋友，請把這一種觀念，盡力傳揚出去。

What is the Problem of Capitalism?

  9295  What is the Problem of Capitalism   2021 0626

1 Capitalism is the source of loneliness. Every one must work alone.  There is nothing to rely on. Many die a lonely death in Capitalism. Welfare Policy cannot heal loneliness.  Economy structure determines the situation.

2 Everyone must use up all their energies to survive. This is the biggest merit of Capitalism. Humans had become smart in Capitalism. 

3 Capitalism creates a culture that truth is not important.  Whoever hires dictates. People are seeking money instead of truth. This could be the fatal point in Capitalism. 

4  Capitalism is an economy of self-centered units. Selfishness dominates the mind. Hate is an easy outlet and love is scarce. 

5 Capitlism is going down. Its a direction of hell when minds are covered. Crimes are everywhere. The poor becomes looters when the big ones are international looters.  

6 Its not known whether the above were core values of Capitalism or not.

資本主義有問題嗎?

1 資本主義是孤獨的根源。 每個人都必須單獨工作。 沒有什麼是可依賴的。 許多人在資本主義中孤獨地死去。 福利政策無法治愈孤獨。 經濟結構決定了這種情況。

2 每個人都必須用盡所有的精力才能生存。 這是資本主義的最大優點。 人類在資本主義中變得聰明了。

3 資本主義創造了真理不重要的文化。 誰出錢，誰說話。 人們尋求金錢而不是真理。 這可能是資本主義的致命點。

4 資本主義是以自我為中心的個體經濟。 自私支配了思想。 仇恨很容易出現，愛卻很稀有。

5 資本主義正在衰落。 人們停止思索，社會向地獄前進。 犯罪無處不在。 大人物掠奪世界，窮人掠奪超市。

6 資本主義的核心價值，不知是否包括以上種種。

What is Democrasy?

  9294   What is democracy    20210623

Democracy is a device used by capitlists in Western countries to keep the self-centered economic system stable by putting political  power in the hands of actual controlling capitalist groups while creating a false impression for the raised hands that they are making decision.

Democracy represents the interest of capital powers only, not for the powerless poor.

Democracy is a hardening substance of minds, to keep greedy minds never changed.

The English minds thus can not be healed from Opium trade, the US minds from Slave trade,  The Japanese never think they were wrong, etc.

And now the term is used to attack China.

It is because China is not individualistic economy.  China is the first successful  not self-interested socialist country to serve the people. China is cooperative minded, not selfish minded.

何謂民主?

民主是西方資本家保持以自我為中心的經濟體系穩定的手段。政治權力掌握在實際控制的資本集團手中，但卻讓舉手投票的人們以為自己在做決定。

民主只代表資本權力的利益，而不代表無權的窮人。

民主是思想的固化介質，使貪婪的思想永不改變。

因此，英國人的思想貪婪固化，無法從鴉片貿易中覺悟。美國人的思想也貪婪固化，不能從奴隸貿易中改正。日本人從不認為他們曾經做錯，等等。

現在這個詞被用來攻擊中國。

因為中國不是個人主義的，是社會主義的。 中國是第一個為人民服務的成功的社會主義國家。 中國是有合作意識的，不是自私的。

Why Hong Kong is the Same?

 

9293  Why Hong Kong is the same?   20210617

Hong Kong needs to change internally.  External things are useless. The very basic thing is in the thoughts of the high people. 

They are ruling the place with a secret network, and the thoughts are Confucian. 

They are not Communist, they are Confucian. 

It is useless to talk with them in theories. 

I have written:

“The Confucian doctrine were in two parts. 

“In the external part they taught you how to behave. Be a nice boy and be good. That seems ok and was hotly welcomed by the highest scholars. 

“In the inner part they told you that you are self-centered, you need to sweep the snows on your door steps only, and do not mind the other business. They taught you how to be selfish carefully. “………………………………..

    - - - - -

If you see that some Taiwan people are not followers of Sun Zhong Shan, they are simply Confucians, it is not strange. 

But if you see the Communist people are still the same Confucian, the country is a  joke for some people.

The secret networks are untouched.

What if We Know the Future

 9292 What if we know the future    20210613

We need to have  a rough idea about the future. We would be totally different. 

The ignorant point is from the theory of evolution. Many have the idea that evolution has been stopped. We as a species of human are completely evolved. It meant we need no change. That is the most dangerous position we are in. 

If the evolution has not been stopped, how far could we go?

People are reluctant to keep a question like that in mind. It is because they do not know the basic nature of life. This is another super important question; it is because everyone of us can actually see it with their own eyes that life is not short, however, I  would leave that in the later part of this short article. 

My questions are very simple:

1. What is our prospect in future?

2. How do I know I will be in future?

If anyone could know it in their mind, one thing would happen. He would have less feeling of hatred and more in love. Seven of the rich country people are gathering now in the year 2021 to discuss how to stop the growth of China. There are hate feelings growing. If they can see the future like us, there will be love and they would love each other and will create some better idea for the rich world.

Let us get started from question no. 1

People are reluctant to see the future. It is because they thought they had gone through all evolution process and the process has been completed. They have simply forgotten one thing: There are millions and millions of years ahead of the human species. Future human will be completely different from now. 

“What, will they have wings?”

I can assure you it will be better than wings. You will have a certain ability to adjust your relation with the gravity in the planet. It is almost no doubt we can fly in future. Yet this may not be the first change we expect. The first change is in our communicating power. We need more than seeing and hearing. We can feel and reach from inner parts of our body. We can talk without using words and communicate with such abilities. Communication is very basic need for us to achieve wisdom. If we can communicate not only with our love ones, but the whole planet, we will be wise. 

Important is that we are evolving in another mode not like before. We are evolving consciously. We know what we are doing and what is happening. We are not changing unconsciously like before. And that meant the theory of evolution have evolved also. We need not to kill each other to evolve. We can work together, and co-operate. 

We are evolving into a stage of unselfishness. We knew that we must use our total ability as a whole species to handle all problems in the planet. You can never achieve better things than co-operation. This is the reason of love. Human beings have been trying to love each other for thousands of years. Yet war has never been ended. It is time to think it deeply. 

If you can see the future like this, you will be excited and will be happy. Your mind is settled. You will be less possible going into the wrong path of selfishness. You will love and not hate. You will be wise and can see from a higher level.  

The above is only point one. Keep it in mind. You are in a higher level now. 

Now we can see the problems in question no. 2

It is completely wrong and harmful to think that life is short and hence meaningless. There are messages everywhere in the internet in China recently. They say that life is accidental and dead is inevitable. That is the theory developed from a very bad philosophy. That meant life is “Wu Nai” and “Wu Nai” meant helpless. 

Life is to involve. If you are involved you are part of the universe. If you are part of all, your life is not short. To involve is the basic nature about life. Nothing is not involved. You are involved and you will love. It can’t be wrong. And you would wonder, if life is not short, then how long would life be?

Life is not a single unit. To see things in a single unit is low level thoughts. Please go outside into the sunshine and see the bees. You will see they are busy working and you will know they are from millions of years ago. They are the same bees from ancient. We are the same. 

It is a longer story here. However I will show you the shorter version. 

We need to know two things about the length of life. 

One is self. Your “self” is the control unit when you have developed consciousness in your very early time. You will not know yourself and even your own name until later when you have a better consciousness to build a control unit within you. And please remember you are not the only one to control yourself. For example You cannot control your dreams and many other things. Something else is in control too. You will know more if you can talk with that “something else” and will be certain you are not lonely and not individual. If you are not individual you won’t be short lived.   

Second is memory. You have at least two memories. One is your personal record and next is a total record stored elsewhere. Upper level people see all the records when lower level beings can only see one or less than one. Those are people you need to help. And that is the reason for your being here. 

Life is as simple as 123. Now you have the points of 1 and 2. You knew the point 3 already. If you are in the upper level, you might need no further explanations and if you are not in the upper level, then simple explanations are not enough for the time being. 

Hoping I will write more

Who is the Most Handsome Young Man in China?

 9291 Who is the most handsome young man in China 20210608

To find out the most handsome young man in China, is the most difficult part in Chinese culture.

I have been thinking, if the Chinese is wealthy enough in a couple of years, they might be able to carry out a grand project to do this.

First it is needed to build a Grand View Garden (Da Quan Yuan), which was created in the Dream of the Red Chamber. It was suppostedly the most important setup for a total collection of the Chinese civilization. Details of everyday life were shown in the Garden. It is beautiful and if people can feel the inner beauty, they can see the future. The Garden is a light in the highest point of the Chinese culture, they will love to visit it and be reminded in their deepest thought that the light is a bridge to future, if they can really enjoy the beauty in it.   

Architechture in China is a mixture of arts. It is literature, it is music, and it is the images and feelings combined.  It is for this reason you see couplets and door banners in strikingly beautiful calligraphies all over the places. You have a poem in mind when you are there.  

Who is the writer of poems in the Da Quan Yuen? Mostly it was written by Jia Bao Yu. Chapter 17 is a chapter you should not have missed. It is a first visit when the Garden was newly built. The father of Jai Bao Yu came to examine the place and he brought Jia Bao Yu with him, just to test the talent of Jai Bao Yu. You will see how the brilliant fires sparkle in the Garden. 

The Garden will show ture beauty for the whole world. People will say there were several historical Gardens already. They will tell you that the older Gardens might have offered original concept for the book. However, anyony who had toured around with Jia Bao Yu in Chapter 17, will tell you the existing old gardens were but common and mundane places. They can never match the height in the vision of the book. 

And it could be more than a building. It could only be a little part in another grand investment about the Dream of the Red Chamber. 

For each of the greatest novel in the world, they all need a great movies to accompany the readers. Actually they need more than a movies, they need a great ballet, and more importantly, a masterpiece of music to celebrate it all.    

First part is the Music, which is the soul of the theme. Then the Dance, which can show the inner rhythm in the story and finally a Grand Movies to visualize details of the emotions.   

The movies might take ten years to complete, though the set in Da Quan Yuen was already built for the movies. You need to find a pair of most handsome young people to take up the role of Jia Bao Yu and Lin Dai Yu. They must be in their childhood of 7 or 8-year-olds. And the film director need to foresee their growth into a young couple of 18 or 19 year-olds and be sured they have kept the same spirit in the years. 

Who is the most beautiful Jia Bao Yu in China?  If you can find out such a person, you are guaranteed half of the success in making the film. 

And you cannot judge him by his external appearances. He might be soft and feminine, yet he must be extremely strong like a sharpest sword internally. And it must be felt not only from his earliest childhood days but also from  his final days of a completely grown young man when he decided to fight against the feudal culture. 

No one could guarantee the growth of a young people. If you've ever seen a beautiful young boy and was fascinated by him, you coud be disapppointed to witness his failure in his later days. It happens more than often.  

We need a young man who is the model in Chinese culture. He needs to be naive and needs to have a heart and he is loved by all and he has got the most far sighted vision to see the future. He is sharp as a sword yet he is soft as a toy. He is genius yet he is stupid in the common lives of mediocre people. His name is Jade and he perfers not to live like a cheap pottery, he would rather to die then to be stained by the vile.  

Who is the most beautiful young man in China? 

If you can find one, you are guarenteed half a success in making the film. And if you can make the film, you will show the inner beauty for the future. And if you can see the future, you will not be an animal anymore, you are human. You will not be selfish and you will see yourself as a fighter for the whole world.

How not to be Suckers?

9290  How not to be suckers    20210604

If you tell them, the purpose in life is not eating, they will nod their heads and agree. 

But they will be the same. They are fish, they cannot live outside the water. They need to eat, to suck, and to fuck. And it is the material world, they need money,  they cannot do without it. 

They are thirsty and hungry, anyway. They are prepared to kill and to do all dirty things for that. Many of them are killers. Those are secret members of the ugly net. They are everywhere.

Does it need a genius to understand all these?

No, it is so simple a matter; it is just like a flimsy curtain, once you stick out your head, you will see the beauty. 

The beauty is that we are living for a beautiful purpose. Any one who do have a will, or a wish, or a vision, or anything they wish to do in their life, they will understand immediately. 

Yes life is material, yet the material is for a purpose, not for itself. Materials will be rotten, but the deeds they are doing will last. 

If your life purpose is only for eating, sucking, fucking, and counting money, you will be a slave. You can never see the beauty in life. You will forever be a fish; you depend on the water. You will join the secret gangs and killers, only for staying in the water. 

Who doesn’t need water? 

Oh, it is the flimsy curtain here. The curtain blinds your eyes. Once you see the purpose in life, the desires to eat and to suck will give way to another grand desire for you. That is a real desire for humans, not animals. As the desire is beautiful. 

You don’t need to be an ugly suckermouth catfish forever, do you? You don’t need to be a killer for the sake of ugly things, do you?

Do you have a desire to seek simply good things?

It needs not a genius to understand. It needs to be a normal human being to see into it.

And your killer friends will tell you, do not listen to the guy. There is nothing to eat out there. He is unrealistic. Stay with us, let us do bad things together! And you will stay to suck, to fuck, and be prepared to kill. You will enjoy the cheap material world in drinking and smoking and dirty sex and even drugs and killings in the ugliest dark places. 

Well, it is only for one split second to see the true side here. 

You will not die on poverty if you have a vision in view. You will only be smarter and know the secrets in the material world, you will have wisdom and you will be great.

We humans are evolving. We are going into a co-operative society instead of a selfish society. We will help each other. In one word, don’t be selfish. Selfishness can keep people as a slave all their lives. They can never leave the dirty water. 

You need only one split second to understand all these. Don’t wait for disasters to happen and be forced to see the reality. 

Wake up, my dear. See the sunshine out there.

Why are There Suckers and Fuckers ?

9289  Why are There Suckers and Fuckers    20210603

I used to think that in my fish tank, there were only two kinds of fish. Eaters and Counters. The Eaters like to eat, while the Counters know only to count. The Counters do have a special taste. They count everything. When they observe, they know only the numbers. That is why they like money. Money is the only thing to keep them at bay. Eat don't think, Count to gain, is the motto for the modern fish tank. And there is no end in counting money. That is why they are always thirsty and hungry. They want more.   

However, when I looked carefully at my fish tank, I was disturbed in seeing a large Anglerfish. They are also called Suckermouth Catfish, or Rubbish Cleaners. They have a huge sucker in their throat, like a big vagina sucking on the glass. They suck everything. But it seemed they like secretions on the glass more. Sometimes they would suck on rotten fallen leaves. All their life is sucking and hugging. Do not try to hug them. You cannot get away easily. They would hold on you and will not let go. Can they see the outside world? I am rather sure they cannot. They can only suck. They will never know they are in water; they will never know there is an atmosphere out there upon the water tank. They will never care anything outside, and even themselves. Give them something to suck on and they would think that is home. They would never leave their homes. They were suckers. They would hold on rubbish.  

And the Fuckers are opposite. All their aim in life is to fuck. They would go out and find someone to fuck. They will not be stopping. Do not think they are simple minded. Some of the fuckers did fall on the traps of law and be jailed, and as soon as they leave the jail, they rape again. They are forever fuckers. However, clever fuckers never go to jail. They are successful, many of them presidents and big bosses. 

I was rather disturbed seeing these people. And I have asked my creator many times. Whose fault is that? You have created them; you gave them suckers and fuckers.  Are they to blame when they did all that?

And I have an answer from my Creator: "Do you want them not to eat, not to suck and not to fuck?"

I could not say a word to answer. "But I do hope they can get away from the water and go to the atmosphere?"

"They have other instruments to do that, they have minds. Do they?"

That made me voiceless.  

I knew that is not for the Creator to blame. They do have minds. And though I knew that have been happening for thousands of years, but I am sure they will change. That is evolution. If they cannot get on to the air this generation, they will in the next. And something is happening in the Eastern horizon. 

Good bye then, Counters, Eaters, Suckers, and Fuckers.

Why the United States is Seldom Short of Talents?

9288  Why the United States is Seldom Short of Talents? 20210530

Though Donald Trump is having a very bad fame in the United States, but to see deeply into his leadership, you will know why the United States has got so many talents. Donald Trump is fast to nominate people. As soon as he fired someone, he had another choice quickly. He needed not to wait and he did not hesitate. Talents are just like oranges in the supermarket, he can pick as many as he likes. 

Do the United States people are really more talented than other countries?

It is never an easy task for other leaders. Good leaders do not like to fire people, not because they are kind-hearted, but because it is difficult to find someone to replace them. They have to suffer the bad oranges more than Donald Trump. 

Why?

There are many answers. 

However, I could only offer one. 

It is because, though the United States are a country of individuals, but they are not ruling the country individualistically. 

The leaders in the United States are backed up by gangs. They are ruling the country in gangs. Each gang consists of many huge enterprises and big companies etc., and they are large organizations with lots of talents. They can offer good tools at any time for the leaders to use. 

What does it mean?

It meant the United States is a co-operative country, too. They are working in gangs. I am sorry to use the term "gangs", but it is easier to show the nature of the matter. They might not be groups of bad guys; they are simply enterprises people sitting together. They are self-centered people always, yet they can be grouping into large organizations and you will find useful oranges amount them. 

A not very complete or even biased gang is in your back. You need not to comment about them, you need only to know that they are at your back, a place not by your side, but your back. And it is perfect for the likes of Donalds. Donald Trump needs not be a de facto leader; the unseen gang bosses are. This is yet another notable story. Who is ruling America?  

And historians would know that why the United States is a country of hundreds but not thousands. They can last hundreds of years but not thousands. 

Within the talents group, you will see very high brow people with extremely high income in their pocket and they are too proud of themselves though they will tell you that they are only proud of their core-values and that meant money. That is the first reason of why they are controllable and always obey. It needs money to control them. And the Government of the States is functioning very well. It is controllable with the gangs. 

And within the group of talented people, you will not see a genius. 

They were largely technical talents only. They are financial people but not economists. They are technologists but not scientists. A real scientist needs to be a philosopher yet there are none in the talent groups. And you will remember Thomas Edison and similar followers. They are inventors and can create money, but they are never artists. They cannot think deep in the minds. There are no arts in the United States. They have green backs but no minds. You will not see Beethoven or Shakespeare in USA.  

To compare with the United Kingdom, you will see the United States is highly not balanced. The United Kingdom is a Kingdom, they have the Royal things to control the other side of the mind. They have more artists with titles of Royal approvals. Though it seemed to be old-fashioned, yet they are more balanced. 

And the arts in the United Kingdom are almost free. The country needs not to pay extremely high salaries for them. Only need to give them fame and tell everyone that you are happy with their arts and they will develop and keep growing by themselves. A membership in the Royal Societies or Royal Academies needs no investment. They will bring money back to the country instead. And may be the only person received money from the Royal family was Shakespeare. Shakespeare is a false name for a secret writer writing for a King with secret payments( ? ). Though the payment was not proved yet it is believable he was supported by a King secretly. 

A genius writer was artificially created but not the result of their culture, it is the joke of the old-fashioned European culture. 

Our first question is why the United States is seldom short of talents, yet from that very question, the deeper side of politics can be seen.

Why Did a Heavenly Garment Need not Sewing?

9286 Why did a heavenly garment need not sewing 20210522

It was so beautiful you can never find a suitable word to describe about the heavenly garment. When it was put on an angel, it was more than perfect and you will be fainted and wake up in her heavenly home on the clouds. It must be the happiest moment one could encounter in his whole life. 

Yet someone has got some trouble with the garment. They wrote books arguing about which part is the blouse and which is the pants. And they argued that the garment was first made only the upper outer fitting and it was completed by one of the salesmen to add a pair of pants for it. 

It is the saddest thing for the Hong Lou Meng. (Dream of the Red Chamber). (They thought the book was in two pieces, and it was the works of two different people.)

Why they could never see the beauty in the beauty? 

Is it because someone had played a little trick on their eyes?

Yes it might be. 

Yet it may be not. 

It was a deep-seated thinking pattern built long ago on their brains that leaded to blindness in them. 

They can never see lights again.

The Confucian doctrine were in two parts. 

In the external part they taught you how to behave. Be a nice boy and be good. That seems ok and was hotly welcomed by the highest scholars. 

In the inner part they told you that you are self-centered, you need to sweep the snows on your door steps only, and do not mind the other business. They taught you how to be selfish carefully. 

And the only truth on earth is to obey your elder. The elder is truth. You need not to seek the truth elsewhere. You need to memorize them only. 

What is wrong with that? Two thousand years suffering cannot make the fools wake up. And they can never see the beauty in the angel.  

The thinking pattern had to be handled. 

And the worse part in the Confucianism is the total outcome of the internal plus external part: You cannot find any direction. You would go nowhere on the universe and you do not have any aim in life except getting rich hopelessly and giving up your soul. 

It is not important for a fool to have no aim in life. But it would be disastrous for a whole country. 

It would be by then the foreign powers set foot in.

Confucianism is coming back in China. Turmoil is expected. 

Huge kneeling bronze statues were setup in university campus, and they were only students of Confucius, they were kneeling before a grand standing statue of Confucius himself. He looks so humble and feudal. 

In the statues you will see who is coming back in China.

Why Can't the Chinese Understand Novels ?

9285  Why Can't the Chinese Understand Novels 20210519

At first, I thought it was only because of stupidity. Or that they are not smart enough to see deeply into the novels. 

It all started by a book, Hong Lou Meng, or Dream of the Red Chamber. 

The book carried a very simple idea. Though the book is long and seems to be complicated, yet the central theme is obvious and cannot be neglected. 

It was all about the Hero in the book, Jia Bao Yu who found it unbearable to live in the suppression of Confucian thought and managed to flee the control by running away. He had only one lover Lin Dai Yu who did understand and encourage him. However, Lin was not permitted to marry him and were dead due to  sadness. Jia Bao Yu was assigned another typical Confucian woman whom he could not bear. He decided to flee in protest against the suppression. The writer of the book remained anonymous because it is dangerous to write openly against Confucians and the book will definately be destroyed. He told the story in a parable form to avoid the notice of the bureaucratic powers. 

The plot was setup in a kind of tragical yet extremely beautiful atmosphere that the readers can be enlightened. 

However, it was such a simple story that most of the Chinese scholars could not understand.

There are walls of shelves in the university libraries, all loaded with books talking  about the novel. Yet it was almost none of the writers who can point out the fact. 

Absurd was that many believed the book was written by two writers. One wrote the first 80 chapters and later publishers completed the story in 120 chapters for the sake of a better sale. It was unacceptable because in the deeps of the art, once the spirit of a work was created, no other structure but the original thought of the writer can bear the inner beauty of the spirit. No one can build another building in the original spirit without violating it. 

Yet most of the scholars could not reach the inner beauty of the book. One could not help to doubt whether they had read the book before publishing their findings. 

Would it be the result of the then United States secret service which had played a little trick on the issue?

The two-writers theory was promoted by a second-class scholar Hu Shi by the time. And suddenly Hu Shi had found himself on the peak of the Chinese culture.  35 western universities awarded him with honorary doctorate degrees almost at the same time. Maybe he was the most honored scholar in the whole world. It remained a secret why so many of the academic administrative people had such a special interest on him at the same time. 

Was it all about the ideas of a two-writers story or, a secret plot to promote Confucian culture in China?

Can such a simple trick be the real cause of the misunderstanding?

I had written about the issue in my books. However, I cannot find a place to publish my books in China. And that is not important.  More strange issue about the novel is that, up till this moment, the two-writers issue is almost finalized in China. One cannot find a copy of the Dream of the Red Chamber in China with the name of an anonymous writer. It is a fact that the novel was assigned the names of two writers until the year 2021 of today. 

Will there be other factors besides the trick of the United States? 

What are the real understandings of the Cultural Authorities in China?

While it remained a difficult task for the Chinese people to find out the real issues about the novel, other classical novels have a similar fate. The Water Margin and Journey to the West were books not easy to comprehend, because the bureaucrats had rewrote them secretly.

What are the inner reasons? Could a simple trick have such a big influence?

Of course there were other reasons.

It is a deep-seated thinking pattern that had determined the thoughts.

Confucian thoughts are still one of the dominating factors in the inner souls of China. 

The Confucian doctrine was not only a behavior manner in China. Its philosophical explanation about life and  universe dominated the spirit of many while the leaders of the cultural authorities have not been serious enough to handle the case. 

It was in such a situation that many people could not understand a simple story like Hong Lou Meng.

China is undergoing a difficult path of change in its culture. 

China has been changing from a self-centered philosophy into a mass-centered idea of the universe. It is more than a simple task for a single person to acquire a better knowledge about life, but a complete mind-formation of a whole nation. They are changing from selfishness to a cooperative manner of unselfish love. Confucianism was more than external behavior problem of young people. It was the basic philosophy in the older form of Chinese culture. If China is to standup permanently, China needs a philosophy of its own and it could not be self-centered confucianism.

The talents of novels in China would be happy if the Chinese can really think about the future of their own culture.

Why Hong Kong hasn't changed?

9283   Why Hong Kong hasn't changed?   20210504

Hong Kong hasn't been changed internally. Everything internal remained the same. I meant Every Thing. The external structures seemed different, but it remained the same internally. 

The internal web is just like an octopus. It has got millions of hands and the hands were everywhere in the internal body of Hong Kong. 

No one can escape the internal grap of the octopus hands. It can reach your inner family members and change them. 

Newspapers? TV stations? Universities? Important institutions? They are all funny stocks only.  The internal cells were all members of a secret power, external flags were only a better hiding shelter for them. 

External approach is important some times. Just like an urgent turmor need to be taken away. But the real reason behind the turmor was untouched. 

They were like secret virus grown in the cells of the body, and they were linked up with a secret web. When you use a scissor to cut away some of the links, the links were just like octopus hands, they can re-grow and healed in a very short time. The worse of all is that people  love the secret web. Because it can give the mediocre people a chance to occupy important positions. If you cannot run a good business, if you cannot find a girl friend or boy friend, if you cannot get into a certain organization, some one will offer you help. Only that you need to surrender your soul. And people are loving it like mad. It was an open secret in Hong Kong. 

I am isloated since I was fired by a newspaper. And since then, my friends left me and joined the isolation. Those were highly educated people. They were writers and editors and intellectuals. 

I cannot publish my books not only in Hong Kong. I went to Taiwan and approached several book distributors and naively believed I can have a chance there. The editors kindly received my scripts and refused. It seems they had received the same order as their reason to refuse me were all the same. 

I have found no way to publish my books. So I changed to write songs. Hoping to find out in the field of music  true beauty of human nature. 

I had contacted some student singers in Jiangxi Province. They were happy to sing for me because I paid for them. However, not a long time afterwards, all of them stopped singing for me. It seemed they had received the same threat. I begged and begged, but to no result. 

And I had contacted several publishing house in Wuhan and Heilongliang. I sent them my books hoping to publish them in China. And I was too naive to believe there were no secret networks in China. They all turned me down and gave the same reason. I was told that it was not because my books were badly written, but because the books do not fit the taste of the Chinese people. I was quite doubtful with that because one of my main theme in writing is the Spirit of China. And I could not believe their explanations. I can only believe their networks were huge. I could never forget how I approached a Shanghai culture authority to register copyright for me and were refused years ago.  

I found closed doors everywhere. 

The isolation hasn't been stopped. 

I found my school mates were staying away from me. I have lost most of my friends in the fields of literature, now I have lost my older school mates too.  I cannot sleep for almost a year since March 2020. Who was the one behind my school mates?  I have reason to 、guess it was from Canton this time.  

For me it is not important at all. If I could not sleep that was because my wisdom is not strong enough to encounter such isolations. People were trying to kill me so many times, and I had disclosed it in my blog, but you will not see them in ALL the Hong Kong news medias. 

Theat of life did not stop me from sleeping, it was Hong Kong and Taiwan and even Mainland China that worried me. If the secret networks were built up so strongly everywhere, it will not be a long time to have the US control over China.  And history will laugh again.
