What is the use of Qi (part 2 plus) 20220925

 9391 What is the use of Qi (part 2)  20220925

The use of Qi could be wide and even limitless. 

I had been doing the swing of arms since I was twenty something. I study the Meridian Points only recently. I tried to remember their names in Chinese and their locations. There were a basic of 12 lines of them plus the two front and back lines, there were a total of 14 lines to cover the whole body. 

It was said the 12 lines which cover the whole body is the grand circle, and the other front and back line is the small circle. To me, the small circle seemed to be the tree trunk and its roots, while the grand circle leaves. 

Every morning after a bath, I would use my fingers to follow the points and remember hard their names. 

I felt comfortable and in good spirit at first. 

However, my wife told me my long time sleeping apnea syndrome were disappeared. 

It was due to the blocking of my left side nostril inflations by night that I could not breathe well and was making a huge snore and more frightening were the sudden stop of the snore from time to time, it seemed that I was suffocated by then. 

My wife kept warning me about this and urged me to check it up. And the snoring was stopped by my morning massage of the Meridian points. I was sleeping well without the threat of suffocation anymore.  I was in high spirits in those days. I noticed that it might be due to the flow of Qi in the left side of my head and felt that the Qi must have some power to govern the blood vessels not letting them to swell up and block the noses. 

And I am too happy to notice that my spirit was so high that I could not sleep by night for one whole year. 

There was no snoring, and no sleeping. 

What happened?

I knew that the Qi could be too strong and was staying in my head that made me awaken all time.  

How am I to put them down?

I thought of swimming.

I think the flow of water must have some effect on the Qi and might bring them away. 

However it was due to the Covid-19 virus that all swimming places were closed, including all the beaches. I could only sneak into the piers to swim. 

Swimming did help a little. I could sleep again. And I thought my theory was right. Water flow could bring away the Qi. It was not healthy for elder person to swim. As the water would wash away their Qi. 

And if the Qi were too strong, how am I to control them?  

It forced me to think and try. Later I had discovered a method to guide the Qi to the ground and the problem was gone and I can sleep well without snoring.  The method was from a Taiwanese master of Qi, the knees must bend twice for every five swinging of the arms. 

And it was important that the Qi could be guided according to the will of a mind. The Qi could be lead downward to the ground with a little bending of the knees, or more importantly, the will of a mind. 

The Qi could flow from your finger to the next person's acupuncture points and it is the basic of healing. 

And this could be the study of a grand medical science. 

Traditional science believes that blood flow is powered by the heart only. And now we have any other power besides the pumping of the heart.   And strokes are not only the causes of the vessels. If you can manage your Qi,   You can have a better heart and a better brain.  Many of the strokes can be avoided.  I hope scientists could put more effort  to study this oriental ancient findings of Qi.

It is very important and more important is the next issue here. 

（Another important issue    about Qi

..... the activation magic)

Qi is more than the healing power to move the flow of blood in your body. 

Qi could be the activation power to waken up unused cells in your brain and guide your attention to another field of study and make you a new person.

For example, if you are a successful writer and at the age of 70 and suddenly you have found your attention has changed from literature to music and you could be a musician more than a writer and you have found you have a newer body and newer brain to support your work as a music person because you have been given new energy as a musician and lots of works need you to fulfill and you are young like that you are only 30, not 70. 

(Activation of a New life by Qi）

Activation of unknown cells in the brain could lead to a newer life. 

And it could be the next chapter of human evolution. 

All humans could be like that and all humans could have another 40 years or more for their life. It was due to the activation of brain cells that could bring in new health and new life. 

It is important to have new interest in your eyes, and, you need to have that Qi to activate your interest and your brain cells. 

And this might not be the imagination of a certain fiction writer as it could be true. 

What you need is an new insight and a very strong Qi.

And you would be happy to forget all the fights and upsets in daily human stupidness and you could see a new world ahead of the darkness. 

What is the use of Qi (part 1)

 9390   What is the use of Qi ?  20220910

1.    Basic Possibilities  and the Europeans

At first, I thought it was only some kind of healing power.  I can heal some simple diseases with Qi.   However I guess that is more than a healing power.  It might be a much more complicated and useful power than healing.  It could be the next step of human evolution. If humans had mastered Qi power, every thing will be changed. The first successful country using Qi will be rich, and strong. When the world has mastered the Qi, the world will be in another level of human wisdom. 

There is a news that the Queen of England has just died. It seems lots of people are sad losing her. People were just feeling confused in this chaotic world.  One question suddenly emerged from my mind, where would the Europeans go from now on? 

Things seemed not working well anymore like the old days.

Can the Europeans find a way out?  It’s almost impossible for them if they are to continue their old mindset. They are looking at the economy and politics so hard that they must have lost the stamina to research for something new.

2.   A new science is needed

They might not be aware

that the old forms of science is the obstruction to a new eyesight, not to mention the place they put themselves…..somewhere between the United States and Russia. Can they forget the old concepts? Can they rely on their own effort and not to be the subordinates of the US? I hope they would have an answer sooner from their younger generation.

Qi is not a thing that can give us a new vision, but the way to look at Qi can lead to a new angle to see things. It is not same as the so-called scientific method.

Older concepts are always trying to compare Qi with electricity, the thought is only about another source of unknown energy.  But it’s more than that.    

3.   Next possibilities

    ( Awareness)

If you can mastered Qi, you might have the power to foresee.  You will have the power to aware different situations around you.   You will be able to sense what is happening nearby. You will know the danger around you. Because Qi is like a connecting power between your internal self and the external world. If someone is planning to kill you and he is standing infront of you, and if you cannot sense anything out of the situation, you might be in danger. Its best to use your nose before your eyes. It meant to stay alert in the Qi field and use your senses.   

Martin Luther King and John Lennon had that feeling.  They kept saying  someone was trying to kill them before they got killed.  They are smart people though they might not had known the Qi was flowing inside their body. They must have some foreseeing power, but they didn’t know how to use it.

I wish to note down my own experience about Qi. I will start from my experience of the healing power and I might discuss about some very strange feeling I had encountered later. I didnt know whether it is too early to write about them, but I think in a sincere circle of friends, people will have some stimulation in their own study. 

4. How did I discovered Qi

I am now 74 years old.  And it happened when I was twenty years something.

I had had a bad stomach.  It was always painful after eating.  The worst time was that I could not sit up from my bed, nor to stand on the floor.  I had tried many medicines, and they were useless.

One of my good friend told me to try a little sport, that was actually not a sport at all.  You need only to stand up to swing your arms, repeating it back and fore for ten minutes.  He told me this sport could help my diaphragm to go up and down, helping my stomach to digest in such a way.

I tried that for a while  and my stomach problem was gone.  I did not  realize the real result of the exercise, I just found it happy to have the stomach ache gone.

 I was a scriptwriter for the TV station later.  That was a hard labour actually.  I need to write non-stop for a long time. And my stomach started to protest again.  I tried the swinging method.  I can start working after a meal immediately if I had done ten minutes to swing my arms.  It was so useful that I did not stop the habit of swinging my arms for the next 50 years.   I am an experienced arm swinging expert now.   And the most important thing I have found is that there will be air from the stomach going out like a belching sound.  Whenever I heard I was belching,  I would know that my stomach is in motion.  It’s very comfortable feeling like you just had a hearty meal. It was after a long time that I’ve found the belching is a signal to tell me whether there is Qi or not.

5.   The belching sound

Qi is quiet and unnoticeable.  You will not notice Qi is there or not.   But when the Qi is aroused,  your stomach and your intestines will have a feeling and they would move or squeeze a little, it was at this time the belching alarm would make a noise and you would know there is Qi and the Qi is the cause of some internal movement in your stomach. 

How can you prove that there is Qi when the sound comes?

6.   To rub with a towel

First I would like to tell you how I discovered Qi by pulling a towel over my body.

At first, it seemed to have nothing to do with Qi when I discovered a method to heal my Athletes Foot problem by using a towel.

I was a keen swimmer when I was 13 and soon I had had Athlete’s foot. It was bacteria or mildew developing inside the gaps of my toes. I had applied different medication and the germ will return after it was healed a short while. 

Doctors told me that it was the spore which is like very tiny seeds of the bacteria which was staying inside the skin and they would grow again in suitable warmth and humid situations. Can I keep my feet dry without sweat every minute of the day? I tried to use a towel to rub the gaps by pulling the towel up and down the gaps. Though I can do it only once a day and I cannot keep my feet dry all day. However, the bacterias and their spores had left me.  

I did not think it was Qi helping me. But I have never stop using a towel to rub my feet every night for the next 60 years. (* I did the rubbing since I got married and I was 30 years something by then. So the counting should be 40.  I rubbed my feet for the next 40 years only.) I had been swinging for 50 years plus rubbing for 40 years. And of course, though my problems are gone almost forever, the special healing power was more obvious when I discovered that rubbings can prevent Hernia also.

7. The Hernia experience.

Hernia is a nightmare for man.  My father had got it, and later when I was married, I saw how my father-in-law had suffered also. Tissues in the external walls of the abdomen were weak and the intestines would break throw the tissues in the groin and enter the scrotum.  I had to summon ambulance to send my father-in-law to hospital in an urgent situation when it happened.  It was a great pain when the small intestine escapes into the scrotum. 

I was forty or fifty years by then.  And I had pondered that for a long time. How can an aged old man avoid such painful happening?

I tried to use a towel to rub the groin area between my legs one day. 

Suddenly I heard a sound from my stomach.  That was the belching sound.  It told me that it works. 

 I realized that the Qi is there if you rub into the right acupuncture points. So I am doing that every night after bathing.  I do not know whether the Hernia will visit me when I was older, though it is ok until now.

8.   Meridians

I started to study Acupuncture points and Meridians afterwards.   I tried to memorize their locations and their names. It was not easy, but I keep on trying.  Soon they were familiar to me.  When I pressed other peoples acupuncture points,  it's strange that I have a feeling inside my stomach and will have belching sound if the point is correctly pressed.  It seems to be an indicator of healing locations. And I did not know whether my Qi will be lost into other people's body through the points. At the very beginning. I felt weak afterwards.  And I need to recover for a long time for my Qi to come back.  Afterwards, I have discovered some method  to replenish Qi from the nature. Now it seems to be better.

I have tried to heal my friend who was in his dying bed.  I had permission from his wife and daughter.  I massaged for him every day.  However, his doctor said his brain was dead. He ordered to remove his kidney dialysis machine. I had worked one month for him before that. He died two days after the machine was removed.

*****

What I have been writing here seemed to be too long.

I need to discuss more next time.

One is how to summon Qi

(and its requirements)

Two is the relation of Qi

 between different people

Three is the connection of Qi and other living things, eg. A tree

Four other possibility of Qi, eg. The higher form of Qi 

Why evolution is not everything?

 (9389)

If you can find out one thing which is not evolved,  and that can prove evolution is not everything.

Humans had long forgotten about Fabre and his finding.(please refer to the story listed behind)

It might not be the proof that evolution theory was wrong.

But it suggested that evolution theory does not cover all the rules of this Universe.

There might be a designed plan for us all.  We could be made by a process of evolution PLUS (?) a pre-meditated plan.

It is strange but it might be true.

And it could change our thinking pattern if we can think deeply. 

You will think more regarding your own role in this Universe or, something far beyond that.

An old story......

Let us think  

(the following story was machine translated)

The story of Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823-1915) is shocking, the mystery he posed is  amazing, however,  a hundred years has lapsed,  mankind still seems to have not found the answer.  And people began to forget the issue. Though it seems that we shouldn't have forgotten it. 

 Fabre is a self-taught entomologist.  His research started with a tiny wasp.  He discovered a puzzling chain of facts.  Wasps themselves do not eat meat, only the sap of flowers.  However, wasp larvae eat meat.  How do wasps feed their larvae?  In fact, wasps have never seen their own larvae.  Wasps will find a small hole to lay their eggs, and then put some still alive crickets, unicorns, or spiders in the hole. They are alive and not dead.  Although these insects were not dead, all of them had their ganglia stinged by wasps and could not move.  Just can't move, but the body function is normal, so it can keep fresh and let the newly hatched wasp larvae eat happily.  

 It was once thought that the sting of the wasp has an antiseptic effect, so that the stinged insects can keep fresh.  However, Fabre discovered that these undead insects were only stinged by the wasps in the ganglia of the joints of the limbs, just like the acupuncture points in the martial arts novels, only the limbs could not move, but all other functions were normal.

 The question is, how can the wasp's acupuncture skills be so powerful?  

 One of the wasps' favorite foods is the kangaroo spider.  This marsupial has two important ganglia.  One directs the movement of the limbs, and the other directs the opening and closing of the fangs.  Both of them were stabbed by the string.  As for the cricket, there are three important ganglia, and all three are hit.  The cricket could only stare blankly at itself being eaten.  

 A bit like parents who are going away.  They told their children, "Mom and dad are going out for a few months. A cow has been reserved for you, and you can eat fresh beef every day. Don't be scarced, this cow's nervous system has been injected with anesthesia and cannot move , your beef will be fresh and will not be rotten.....”

 What is even more strange is that the larvae of the wasp actually keep not eatting the most important part of the insect, eating only the edges of the internal organs, and save the heart part for the last to eat.  In this way, the insects may stay alive, keep the meat fresh, and keep the wasp larvae from eating to adulthood.

 Where did the wasp's growth equation come from?  Where did the wasps get their secret tricks for burrowing?  Is it "evolution"  or " a plan"?  

What is the real success of the Chinese people?

 9388  What is the real success of the Chinese people?   20220815

Hard working is not the only success reason of the Chinese people. 

 

The success of the Chinese people is from their own thinking pattern.  And the pattern is from the language design. They have a perfect language system which uses the right sphere of the brain.

The Chinese uses a very special method to help thinking with  their language which is not like the spelling language which limits the thinking process inside the left hemisphere of the brain.   Chinese people are right-side-oriented thinking people.   Their thinking process is holistic.  People who can write Chinese poems understand it more.  The thoughts and images are flowing around and not limited by simple logics.  Sometimes it seems not logical, but reaches to the inner reality of facts. 

It is this language which is the core feeling of ALL Chinese including both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

To use language as a tactic is the best way to unite people from the two sides.

It’s not necessary to use blood and weapons to unite the people.  

The central core interests of the thinking pattern will do the job.

It needs no blood to return to the traditional way of Chinese writing.

 

The Chinese people  can type and read with the Chinese language faster than most of the spelling languages.  And this is not the only advantage of the Chinese language.  The thinking pattern can bring them to the future science revolution and achieve much more,  if they are smart enough not to fall into the traps of the modern political turmoils.

P.S.  to talk with Biden is helpless in solving the Strait problems. It could be more helpful if the Chinese can talk with Russians  instead.

How to see it more clearly ?

 9387  How to see it more clearly  20220815 

 

No one can be absolutely clear about his own situation.  It was always like a fish tank he was in.

There are so many obstacles.  And so many unclear issues. And so many disguised persons. They are always trying to lead you astray. It is you yourself always need to see. You need to listen to your own mind. Rather, to the advisers.

How can I see clearly about the fish tank?

 

It is like the other guy  who is watching you outside the fish tank.

He is so clear about your own situation.  He knows where you’re going. He knows your intention.  He can beat you anytime, if he likes.

BECAUSE he is in an upper level. 

Things will be very clear from the view of an upper level.

It’s just like watching the lower level fish tank.

And now we have the six concepts here.

It seems it is more than one level upper.

It could be many levels other than your present one.

It could be a future goal of the human beings.

If you have such a goal in mind, you will go up one level easier. All because you are not  selfish,  and you’re not seeing with your own eyes.

This is the basic of the Zhuang-Zi Art of War.

Why you can be relaxed ?

        (9385   Why you can be        relaxed  20220811)

It is because humans are in a sure-win situation.

It is not that anyone will win.  There will be always winners and losers.  Countries can be  defeated, nations can be destroyed.  Yet  humans are in a sure win situation.

No matter who wins or who loses, the final outcome will be  same:- 

Humans will be really wise. They will be wisdom-driven. None of them will be selfish.

You can be relaxed. Because you know even though you’re  defeated but you will not die. 

Because life is  mind, and all minds are connected. You will be there until future. You will witness the future outcome.

Countries and heroes come and go. When everyone thinks he is in the positive side and  simply cannot afford to lose, he will be nervous.  Maybe he can be relaxed for a while to accept the coming failure and the final good ending.

When people are in a mind position like this, he will think twice for his choice, and have a better chance to win.

6 New Concepts for a great future .....

 9383      6 New  Concepts     20220804

Concept 1

    (Wisdom-driven future)

Humans are moving into a wisdom-oriented future.  The money-oriented past will be  history.  It is due to the results of human  evolution.

Concept 2

          ( Evolving Internally)

Most of the  external human evolution has been completed.  We will not have more limbs or wings, etc.

We will be evolving internally.  Our mind abilities will be improved.  We will be linked up through our minds.  Our minds can reach to others.   We are not a lonely and single unit  anymore.

Concept 3

         (Cooperation is great)

Humans will be moving into a new era of cooperation.   The evolution of minds  makes the way for human cooperation.

Concept 4

       (Life is mind)

The external of life is  a tool of our mind.  Life is internal. Life is a linked-up  connection.   Life is mind.

Concept 5

       (You will not die)

The perception of mind  will be much longer than expected.  Older concept was about the span of life.  Human life was expected no more than a hundred years something.  The perception about a mind is much longer.  The  perception comes from the concern.  If the concern of the mind is for the wellbeing of future,  then the concern will be  thousands and millions of years.  If you have a concern like this,  you will have a mind like this.  If you have a mind like this,  you will not die.

Concept 6

       (No one is selfish)

Evolution is a long procession.  Some people are evolved much faster.  They can walk in two legs earlier.  Some other people can not be evolved  like them,  they need to walk in four limbs for a very long period  until one day  all  will be evolved into a 2-leg species.

There will still be money-oriented people.  The time will definitely come when all people are wisdom-oriented. No one will be selfish in the future.

............With the help of these concepts,  it is very clear to observe our present situation and it is easier to know what to do.

                                                     

How Do We Estimate Our Time and the Country of China ?

 

9382 How Do We Estimate Our Time and the Country of China               20220719

                                                     

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.

白居易怎樣描冩太監？a poem about eunuch

以下是白居易「秦中吟」中的一首「輕肥」。

甚麼是「輕」？ 就是最名貴的衣料，而「肥」，是肚滿腸肥。是描寫唐代宦官的。

 意氣驕滿路，鞍馬光照塵。借問何為者，人稱是內臣。 朱紱皆大夫，紫綬悉將軍。誇赴軍中宴，走馬去如雲。 樽罍溢九醞，水陸羅八珍，果擘洞庭橘，膾切天池鱗。 食飽心自若，酒酣氣益振。是歲江南旱，衢州人食人。

 (啊，看他們來了。滿路都是毫氣干雲，鞍馬的車頭燈，揚起了地上的灰塵。他們是何種樣人呢？啊，原來都是太監內臣。他們身上的名牌就夠看的了。朱紱和紫綬，都是身份象徵。原來他們要來軍中宴會了。 來來去去的奔馳、寶馬，像流水行雲。每一樽都是ｘ ｏ，上碟都是奇珍。最名貴的洞庭橘，最美味的海上鮮。吃飽了心滿意足，喝醉了氣焰囂張。唉，這是江南旱災的一年呢。衢州都在人吃人了。)

太監尚未死

氣熖逼入雲

豪華奢侈處

屈辱換嬌嗔

江山代代改

舊痛緩緩燒

金剛睜怒目

Why is the right brain so important ?

 9733  Why is the right brain so important  20220602

It is due to the efficiency or non-efficiency of the right brain, countries had gone to different paths and their behaviour sometimes uncontrollable. 

One obvious and rather extreme example is Japan. 

Japanese culture is  left-brain-oriented. They had designed a left-brain-oriented language and the language made them more left-oriented.  

They can calculate but weak to comprehend the total scenario,  it seems.

The left side function of the brain is to handle digital objects only. A left-brain-oriented person can be good at languages and calculating. But they are weak in the total analysis of situations, they are lacking the power to comprehend and to feel.  

Many(but not all) of the left-oriented people turn into greedy as they can only understand the meaning of money. They cannot comprehend the total situation which needs the function of a right-brain. A right brain is for the complete scenario and the grand parts of it, while a left brain is equipped with numerous receptors to store language, chips, or smaller items that needs calculating. 

That is why the left brainers in Japan had started the 2nd-World-War trying to conquer the whole world, when they had calculated their war-resources and found that they were the strongest and unbeatable by that time. 

And it needs to notice that the left and right sides of the brain are not absolutely divided. It is only a kind of orientation or inclination of the sides that made the difference. Left-sided people can use some of the right side function, though they were mainly using the left-side, and were strong  in chips calculating but weak in comprehensive thoughts. 

That means they cannot be very creative. And  they will not have a deep feeling. 

It should be noted that there will not be absolutes in the brain. We need to use the term "oriented", that means they may not be completely left-brainers, but left-oriented brainers. They can use the right brain too, though many of them refuse to do so. 

May be that was the fate of history, I had found that there were more left-brainers than right-brainers. You have lots of left-brainer friends, though only a few were far-lefted and very selfish, but the average of them were left, they were bound to be a common folk and will not be achieving much and will not be talented. They cannot comprehend much in life. They can only count the money. 

Language had been playing an important role in the human thoughts. Japanese language is a spelling language. It is not like the other spelling language. In English you pronounce the words not one by one. You will not say w-o-r-d, but a  sound of "word",  however, the Japanese need to pronounce almost every single alphabet of the word like w-o-r-d.  That meant they had a smaller unit in the brain, and their left-brain is more detailed, and their receptors and chips are much smaller and stronger than the other left-brain civilizations. 

They are more tend to calculate than to comprehend. People like this will not believe in the left-right theory, because they can not have the experience other than counting. Many believed that thoughts are based in language and they use only language to think. They do not know thinking could be a much wider sphere of brain functions and could use other tools to think. Its a pity that most of the left-brainers could not feel it. 

It could be a tragedy if people live their whole lives based in counting.  What if the counting is wrong? 

The 2nd-world-war was started based in a wrong counting. 

Chinese people are more than lucky that they have a very special language needs not to arrange the alphabets. The words itself is a complete symbol, and that could be the base of a right-brain thinking. Though it could not be using only the right-brain, but certainly it is right-oriented. 

In the conflicts happened between China and the States, you will see the US side are blaming and cursing all the time while the Chinese side is only listing the facts. The Chinese people are not counting and can use a wider sphere of thoughts to handle things.

There are not only Left and Right sides of the brains. The function of Emotions is the third part of it. 

Left Brain   + Emotion     -->  Temper (to blame)

Right Brain + Emotion     -->   Feeling (to love)

(That could be the reason why some people like to use guns to settle things in the States)

(When left-brainers can use their right, they could be good inventors, but still be bad tempered.  Thomas Edison invented the electrict execution chair and he had no feeling when he saw his victim suffered in the chair and started to calculate why his electrict current was not strong enough.  )

And brains are but tools of the mind. As mind is the ultimate decision maker. It is fine if the mind has got a better tool, but if the mind do not have a proper tool, still the mind can manage to make a good decision. 

That is the reason of hope for humans, even when you have a very bad tool, but still you have always a choice and do as your deeper mind decides.     

We need to say a few word more, as the thinking process is not only a brain function, it could be a total process of all the human body, including the heart, the intestine, the liver, and even the eyes and the skin. When things happen, you would feel your heart beat faster with a special feeling in the guts, and your liver is helping a lot to keep you balanced. The total behaviour is your mind, though you cannot locate where your mind is but it is certain that you do have a mind.

However, we need to stress again that the right-brain is important as it can help us to see the whole picture. It is the source of creativity and inventions. It is the basic part of an advanced civilization. The Chinese civilization can do more to help the whole world if their right-brain function is well kept and developed more.   

Right-brainers are more lucky that they can use the left too. It is not very difficult for right-brainers to learn the spelling language.  They could balance themselves more easily. Left brainers can try to read more to open their right side, and learning Chinese is helpful. Serious thinkers would try to use the Chinese writing brush to write.  It is beautiful, and right-oriented.                         

 

UNIVERSE MAN

 宇宙人

李杜人不見，詩篇萬口傳。

生命藏生命，人類變神仙。

靈性包萬有，智慧若湧泉。

百千萬年後，你我手牽手。

將來何所往，大路未難搜。

你知我亦知，一直往上走。

花開千萬朵，朵朵有顏色。

人生千萬世，世世有光輝。

宇宙藏奧秘，一瓣一瓣開。

人間有勇毅，心血氣力齊。

尋得真與美，天地一善哉。

The Universe Man

You will not see the great poets, but they are always here with their words.

Life is in life,  humans will be angels.

Spirits are in the universe,  wisdom coming up like spring.

We shall be walking hand in hand, thousands of years in time.

Where are we going?  The road is easy to search.

Both you and I knew it well,  it's all the way up.

There are millions of flowers,  each one has its own color.

There are millions of life spans,  each of them are bright.

There is a secret in the universe,  It's opening  one by one  like flowers.

Bravery and perseverance are here,  we search with our heart,  our blood, our qi  and our strength.

Until one day  we have found the truth and the beauty.

It's all the good in the universe for us.

@ i do hope some one would translate it better.

What is the real situation in China?

A last year scene to review today........

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 co-operation 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 is Confucian doctrine. And the spirit of Confucianism must have been creeping in the University for a long time.........

Students gave long applause for the speaker. The moral in Beijing University was shown in that moment.

Why Russia will win?

 9373   Why Russia will win?   20220522

It’s confused at first. But now the situation is very clear, Russia will win. 

War is not determined by GDP or how much money they have. War is determined by strength. And strength is not necessary money or weapon, but the inner power to use the resources.

Proxy means you pay someone to do something. But the proxy guy is not your own arm nor your inner power. He has got his own mind and his own method, he would take your money, maybe  your external advice, too. But when the counterpart is more determined and can manage inner resources to fight in the war field, he has got a much bigger chance to win. Because he is doing things on his own. He is not relying on the external proxy guy. 

Russia will win the game slowly but steadily.  The fate of history will tell the world whether Biden can last his term or not. As outsiders will see, Biden is also in a proxy situation. He has got a team of people on his back; he is merely a poor proxy actor on stage. Secret bosses are behind the scene. He had been sent to Ukraine at the very beginning and now he was sent to Asia to negotiate the countries.   

Maybe he is lucky to have China as his counterpart. 

Because China is in a proxy situation too. And China is not in a completely stable condition. 

To compare Xi and Mao, you will see China is weakly organized and the spirit is low. The low spirit is shown in their literature, in the Internet, in music……., many people are looking at their own purse more than to serve the people. They have long forgotten how to serve the people, as China has not shown a strong spirit to love and to serve. That meant they will have a much difficult time to face the Taiwan problem. It seems they are undecided in the language issue. How can the Taiwan people love you if you talk like a foreigner?  And use a different writing language?  Do they know how much the people of Taiwan hated the simplified language? 

It will not be a proxy game if troops were sent instead of mind to beat Taiwan. You will lose your own blood. The weakness is clear in the eyes of the whole world. It could be a very bad proxy game if you handle your own spirit through the hands of external people. Proxy in the mind is the rule of failure. 

China is strong in beating the virus, it is not proxy, as the work is clearly seen by all the world. 

But they had put the important spirit issue to the hands of others, and even secret agents from outside.  

Whenever you turn on a mobile, you will see what are the spirits in China. They are keen to work on the 5G, but not on the contents of the internet in the mobile. You saw only low taste in a high-tech device. Cheap philosophies are everywhere. People might not aware that the cheap philosophies were not cheap at all, they were paid secretly in high prices. And it is secretly organized. It is not the same in the older newspaper period, when people were working very hard to prepare the high-quality contents of the newspaper more than the printing qualities.   

China is not in a stable situation but China is in a lucky period when the US is aiming at the Ukraine issue hard. However, The US is actually aiming at China more than Ukraine. They knew that they are going to lose in the Ukraine battle and that is a matter of time. But they will not give up the chance to beat China when China is in a confused situation of mind and spirit. 

China will face a big change if troops were sent before the language issue was settled. 

And the language issue is only a first test of the Chinese spirit. They will have a bad time if the test is failed. 

Spirits are not for proxy compromises. Spirits are the inner fire to stand up on your own. You need to fight hardly to keep it. 

  

Will China be forced to take action?

 9372  Will China be forced to take action?   22020510

It is a so-called proxy war in Ukraine. It seemed to be a civilized war. The war had set for itself a limit and the limit should be observed and not be broken. 

It seems some giants are fighting on a cliff. Each one should be careful not be pushed to the cliff edge. 

But I doubt about the wisdom of the fighters. 

They had not been studied carefully enough where is the cliff edge. 

What would the outcome be for the different sides? 

If the US is determined to delete one of the balance powers on this planet, do they know the consequence?

The only winner would be China, if the US did not take any action to delete China, too. It is not because they had forgotten something but that they were doing that secretly. Some people had maintained again and again that they couldn't delete China, but other people do not think so. 

Will the final winner be not China but the US? 

Though they had not studied their own problems within. 

It could not be a really civilized war if the sides are hot-eyed. 

It seems to be easy as it is only proxy and they only need to pay the numbers. And the US is in a situation of no helpers. NATO is a group of people only know how to follow but never consider anything other than orders from their boss. History would sigh for the glorious past of those people. 

If they can think.......

They would know if the conflict is going on like this without drawing back, then they are simply pushing China to take action.

It seems to be unfair for a civilized war if all the powers are for the US and the EU people are pouring gun powders into the fire without stopping and Russia is having no weapons from their friend circle. Doesn't any one find it a little bid absurd? 

Any one with a quiet mind would ponder why. 

Aren't the sides forcing China to step in? 

Maybe China is determined also. Maybe China is very clear about the outcome. And the war won't be a long one as history calculates in hundreds and thousands; though a  few months would change everything to break the silence. 

I hope every one is ready for the broken future.  

 

 

 

Will China be a Home of Minds for Deserted Souls?

 9371  Will China be a home of minds for  deserted souls?   20220514

When I was meditating about  Taiwan Straits, some findings were very uneasy for me though I had found the best solution to capture minds in this matter was to promote Traditional Chinese language which will be welcome by all and settle the minds in Taiwan. 

The uneasy part was the extremely low birth rate of  Taiwan women, which is even lower than Japan.

Some people worried for the Japanese that if birth rate keep going down and can never make up the lost of aged people, then one day Japan will be disappeared from the planet. I personally do not believe such things will happen. The problem of Japan could be a wrong design of their culture. If one day some very smart leader find out the real scenario of their future and understood it might be the result of their language and the language problem had diverted their way of thoughts then Japan maybe saved. 

Japanese language is a completely left-brain-oriented language though they had used Chinese characters a lot. Left-oriented way  of thoughts had brought them to a calculation-minded  thinking when the other side of  brain function is neglected. If future leaders could see deeply into the problem, birth rate problem would be solved.

Several Asian places had recorded very low birth rate in recent years. Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have less people born and more people left. 

 People prefer to keep pets than to raise babies. You see prams with pets but not babies. There are more pets than children everywhere. People trust their pets more than another human being. 

It is emptiness in soul.

People just lost their motives of life as pets provide a temporary comfort for them. Many deny they need any comfort from pets. They have only appetites, not comforts, not to mention aims in life and motives in a higher angle. 

Materialism came from money culture and worst still, political powers instill cheap philosophies to promote a sense of uncertainty for the young people. Power people say, "There is no after life, there is only this life." ( 有今生無來世 ) Seldom could anyone aware this is to isolate the individual and delete the culture tradition for them. Their souls are taken away. All the history and the country are worthless if only one single life is real.  This is the reason for selfishness and reason why people cannot love and cannot have their children and ancestors to be proud of. 

This is a serious pollution of mind. 

Lonely minds were from a polluted culture. There were modern Ah Qs. The age old feudalism is still functioning in a modern mind. Feudalism is the origin of selfishness and when dirty thoughts were wrapped up in colorful decorations, young people were lost. 

How can they have babies when they cannot see tomorrow?

When their love ones are the ones that cannot be trusted, as everything is based on money, how can they feel safe to look ahead? They would say I love you today, and by tomorrow they say that word to another. 

People felt deserted.

And the only safety is in money, and money is never enough to keep oneself safe. 

People cannot see life in terms of culture, and they have no sense of history. It is funny to think about future. They do not know what is the aim to work for. 

And this is the real scenario in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Japan is the most serious case, the others are  just catching up. 

And from this point we could see  Taiwan Straits issue and Hong Kong issue are extremely important, as they are parts of China and China is considered a home of souls for us. 

The world today is divided into two extremes. One being materialism in the West and the other is in China which is a new country with a long and bright past to be valued though parts of the culture are polluted by feudalism. 

The spirit of China is a hope for us all.
