Why artificial religions are possible?

Why artificial religions are possible?

 

Humans are living under a condition of "unknown".

" Unknown " is  immense. 

Human and earth is so tiny a small place wrapped up by  immense and unfathomable powers.

Yet humans are lucky. 

Humans are free.

Humans are so free that they can also invent their own god.

They pray through their invented god,  and it is so amazing that different religions are allowed miracles.   Prayers are answered some of the times.

You invented a god.  You prayed for it. And you were answered some times.

Who is answering you?

Who is the ultimate power that gives miracles to human beings?

Some of the religions on earth worship devil.

And devil would answer prayers, too.

 Humans invent not only "god",   they also invent rules.

 Maybe some of the rules are necessary and useful,  but some of the rules are self imposed limitations for themselves.

 And some rules are for selfish  purpose only.

 Wars have been a major driving force for humans.

 Wars are unavoidable.

 Wars are necessary evil for humans.

 If there is no war in humans,  humans will be spoiled to die......

 We need to have a clear mind to see through all these absurdities.

Why China is Fast?

 20241230

Why China is Fast?(amended)

China is fast not only in building roads and bridges,

China is fast in building her country.

It is almost a miracle in modern history.

The question is why?

And the next question is how. 

How could the Chinese people do things so fast?

And now I wish to use a fast method to explain this difficult problem.

The major reason is: -

There is no self-imposed rules in China.

China is not a religious country.

There is no fight in difficult ideological disputes.

Although China's got political influences or  secret manipulation from different powers.

But it is not like the disputes found in religious countries.

Chinese are free from the disputes.

I don't need to put details here.   But the results are clear.  

This is the reason why China is fast.

-  -  -

There might be other reasons for it.

The question is:

 If you're not ideological oriened, then are you money oriened?

-  -  -

Most important is leadership.

A good leadership with spirit and organizing power is vital.

It needs further study.

*

Sorry I was too fast writing the above yesterday.

I forgot to mention that China is right-brained.

China is running a quick mailing system of delivery these few years.  If you see how they wrap up small parcels,  you would found they are mostly right brained person.  If the job is for a British Post Office,  it will be totally in another form.  It will be perfectly organized but,  slow.  It will be too slow to be possible.

And,  Chinese are using "mass line",  people are mobilized fully and happily.

Can the inner-conflict be settled in the West?

 20241229

Can the inner-conflict  be settled in the West?

The major theme in the Western culture is love.  Love is not a concept in the savage times.   Love is developed and promoted by a man whose name is Jesus.

It's a little complicated.

Jesus said he is the son of Man and the son of God.  It is not important whether he is a Man or a God.

If people have accepted the idea of love,  its really not important at all. 

People will be working and living as usual no matter a God is in charge or not.

Important is the building up of love.

And now there is an inner conflict about love in the West.

The early Western church people are careless or willfully accepted  the idea from Jewish culture of "take".

You can take anything because you obey and your own "god" allows.

The key point is "take".

The inner conflict is the conflict between "love" and "take".

This is the difference of a civilized people and a selfish people.

Now Jesus was away for two thousand years.

Yet his influence is still here. The seeds of love is in the mind of humans. It is firm and not to be argued.

How can the inner conflict be settled?

There will be lots of wars ahead of us.

So, be aware and be prepared.

Love is not an easy thing.

Be prepared with the help of your own mind,  as the mind is evolving internally in love.  

The mind is evolving when the external wars are raging.

Refuse - Can you refuse money?

20241228

Refuse - Can you refuse money?

This is not a joke.   

This is a complicated cultural trap.   If any nation can avoid this trap, that nation will be leading the world.

In older times,  the question is not asked this way.

They will not ask you: "Can you refuse money?"

Instead,  they will ask you:

"Can you refuse God?" ....... and the model answer is "no".

Western culture were teaching pupils this way.  In the Old-Testament,  God gave money and land to Abraham.   Because Abraham obeyed everything, including killing his own son.

However, the "God" is a fictional "God".

Stronger people will refuse absurd requirements like that,  without knowing the "God" is  probably not real.

No one can force you to  violate your own mind,  even if that one is a true "God".

And this is the theory of free will of Zhuang Zi,  the ancient Chinese philosopher.

You can refuse money,  you can refuse a fabricated or real god,  and the pleasure is:  you can also refuse "Fate".

Your role is in your own hand.    It is you and only you your master.  You are slave to no one.

The ultimate test is death.

But death cannot change a strong will.

Death is only a changing of role.  Those not allowed a role this life,  will have another role next life.

If your life is taken away, you can try the next.  Evil can only kill you once, not twice.  

They cannot kill your next life.

You can refuse money,  you can  refuse evil,  even though it implises death.

 Why you can refuse?   Because your mind is free. 

To have a courage like this, is the only hope of the West.

  

*

I won't be a slave

You can't buy my soul

Even though

You disguised as a god

I won't sell my soul

This is the inner conflict of the West

I won't sell

You can't buy

The road to hell

Must be changed

Is that clear?

It is clear

Ignorance - What shall we do?

 20241227

Ignorance -  What shall humans do? 

If we count our history,  we might be in the first cycle of civilizations.   It's probably 10,000 years of culture growing.

What have we learned in this ten thousand years?   It seems to be a  brilliant result  if modern people can use AI already.

Yet, we cannot deny we are still in the time of ignorance.

Actually humans know very little about the Universe.

It is almost nothing to compare with the unlimited reality.

Very few people would doubt we are still in the cycle of ignorance.

The most absurd thing is that people are still fighting religious wars when they do not know what their real faiths are.

Christianity people still believe in the old "Bible" which was created by their ancient Jews enemies.

They can never understand the inner-conflict in their own faith:   They believe in "love" yet they also believe love is second to obeying.

And many other religious people have the same inner-conflict in their own faith too.

If they don't know what is love,  how can they know the secret of the universe?

Humans without love are solitary individuals who cannot think in terms of a fate of their own people.

And that is the root of ignorance.

If you are ordered to kill your own son,  you need to have the  courage to refuse.

You are fighting for the benefit of mankind.

If you are lacking courage like Abraham, then you are a coward.

Courage is the starting point to knowledge.

Humans cannot be ignorant if they are strong enough to refuse.

Dying - What is the feeling of dying?

20241226

 Dying - What is the feeling of dying?

It happened last week in December 13th, 2024.

I am rather happy when I finished writing the essay about "Deeds" in a coffee shop in Hong Kong. 

I was rather cautious not to drink coffee,  because I knew that coffee might not be good for my brain.

I drank tea only by that noon.

I was so happy that I might have found secrets about life:  Its the deeds we done matters.   Others are not important.

Suddenly I fainted.   I cannot remember exactly that moment,  whether I was trying to stand up or not.

It must be happened in a split second,  may be less than 1/1000 seconds.

Because I have no feelings at all.   There is  Chinese proverb "眼前一黑"( A sudden darkness in your eyes ).   But I found it is not so.   You don't have a feeling of darkness or faint feelings at all.

You feel nothing when you faint.

I didn't know how long have I fainted.

When I opened my eyes,   I saw my mobile within one foot reachable by my right hand on the ground.

I managed to grab the mobile near my body.

And then I saw feet.

There were some feet in red trousers.  Seems to be rescue people.  And one or two more people with  ordinary  trousers in front of my eyes.

I was curling on the ground.

The next minute I was on a rescue chair.

People are carrying me on the chair by the escalator going down. 

When I opened my eyes and  I was on an ambulance.

 The ambulance team people asked me whether I have got my id card with me or not.

 I said yes, but I couldn't remember where it was.  Until a few minutes later, my memory recovered and I  found the id card.

 My guitar was with me in the ambulance car.

 The most wonderful moment in this event is that you will not feel anything before you fainted.  It must have  happen  shorter than  a split second.

 I felt  nothing and it was  peaceful.

 It is epilepsy,  may be.

  The feeling was wonderful. I will not fear dying from now on.  

And this time is not the same as last time.

Last time I was dreaming when I got fainted eight months ago.  My dream was going on,  and I was in the  ambulance van.

The dream was a common dream,  I cannot remember details.

And I thought I am not so lucky as  Dostoyevskiy.  He was also an epilepsy patient.  He said he felt he was in heaven when he fainted.   But I didn't have that feeling. I only felt nothing.   Though I was in a peaceful mood.

Dying is not so scary,  it is a wonderful experience.

It was not like being shot or felt from height.   There will be a few minutes of pain  and the pain may last.  But I felt nothing at all.

note:

it was not a sickness but poisoning.   I was poisoned with some kind of newly invented medicine.  This was the 2nd time.

Unknown - What is unknown?

 20241225

Unknown - What is Unknown

Of all the questions asked,   only this one is not answerable.   If it can be answered, then it is not Unknown.

We are living in an unknown  Universe.   We have only a very limited knowledge knowing our surroundings.

And   knowledge  can't be pretended.

Only honest people can survive in an Universe of Unknown.  Because they will not be harmed by false knowledge.

The Unknown could be anything,  for example, religion faiths.

Religion is a mechanism humans used to deal with the Unknown. 

The Unknown includes two sections.

One is the unexplored knowledge  of the external Universe,  two is the unreached  spiritual side of the Universe.

When the spiritual side is not clear,  some would use imagination to create.

Creation is not reality.

False  creation can harm  civilization.

Lies are no good.

For example, the Unknown will not give you guidelines.

There will be "hints" in the Universe.  But there will not be books from the Unknown.

Life Force - Why miracles did happen?

 20241224

Life Force - Why miracles did happen?

It is a speculation that there must be some inner-reserved life force equipped in the human body.

Please take note that "life-force" is not the same as "energy".

Actually, I doubt whether it can be stated as a "force".

Humans do not have a name to name such things.    Let us name it temporarily as a "life force". 

A seed,  no matter how small it is,  can grow into a big tree.

It simply exists somewhere within the seed.

The most wonderful part is,  there must be some reserved life force in the human body.  It can be retrieved if needed. 

In urgent cases,  when nothing else can help, the reserved life force could be retrieved to save lifes.

Is it a religious practice?

Why do different religions got the same miracle power, even though they are opposite to each other?

The answer might be:   it is not in the power of religions,  but in the reserved life force.  The life force is being summoned.

Who can summon this life force?

Can friends, family members or even an angel help?

Some times even an animal like a horse, a cow or a dolphin could do the job.

Horses and dolphins do have healing powers.  Its noted and recorded many times.

We can expect the internal evolution could help humans develope a stronger healing power to achieve more.

A fictional model of the Universe

 20241223

 A fictional model of the Universe

Part One    Angels

1.  The next  species  of human beings might be the "Species of Angel", as it appears in the observation of human.

2. If human can evolve internally and successfully, a huge and higher ability mind could be built.

3. The mind is a network, can link up in the Species of Angel themselves.  

4. The mind can reach out into human's mind to help.

5. One important stage of the mind is freedom.   It is free.   It can stay outside the body, like a flying spirit,  like an Angel.

6. Where would the Angels Spirit stay?  Will they stay in a school of fish?  Or will they stay in a herd of cows? or a group of high flying wild geese? 

7.  There might be numerous other higher species in the Universe.  But for the time being,  we can reach to the Species of Angels only.

8. The Species of Angels have a limited ability, for example: helping humans.  

9. Angels do not have the ability to move, to push or influence the functional movement of the grand Universe.

10.  One of the ability of the Angles is to wake up the inner reserved life force in human.

11.  Humans are built with reserved inner life force, in some case the inner life force could be retrieved to save lifes.  That's why some cancer patients could gain life suddenly without reason.

12.  Angels can help.

13.  Angels can help to retrieve inner life force from humans when it is needed.

14. If you say you cannot die because you have a duty in mind...... Angels might be coming.

15.  It is humans themselves determine. Not the Angels.

16. If you can say it, you will say it, if you can't, you won't.

17.  It is from your own inner spirit to survive.

18.   Humans are closely watched and may be guided by the Species of Angels.  

Part Two    Wars

1.   Humans are evolving internally and externally.

2. Internal evolvement is mind.

3. External evolvement is war.

4.  By observing the wars happened between the animals,  you can see war is a natural rule.

5.  Your enemy is not necessarily evil.  They can represent evil but not necessary evil.

6.  Evil is the determination not to love.

7.  To determine not to love is against internal evolving,  therefore it is evil. It is opposite to growing and evolving.

8.  That is why you can love your enemy when you're fighting with them:   If you do not have love in mind, if  you can only have hatre in mind,  you will probably not able to survive.

9.  You can refuse evil, but not to hate them. 

10.  Those who can stand up internally and externally have the higher possibility to win wars.

Next species - What is the next species after human being?

 20241222

Next species - What is the next species after human being?

 Human being is evolving internaly and externaly.

 But it's interesting to guess what the final form of human being might be?

 Is there any limit for our physical body grow up? Will we have a bigger belly, or a bigger brain  in the future?

Will the evolution turn our human species into another kind?

If our spiritual abilities develop to a higher stage, we might become extremely intelligent, and the human body may no longer suffice for the demands of these advanced spiritual abilities. In that case, another species might become necessary.

 It is only imagination.  But it is an optimistic imagination.  Even though human being might not exist forever,   but there is always another form of existence in the future.

Abraham - How did Jesus comment about Abraham?

20241221

Abraham - How did Jesus comment about Abraham?

#Let's see how Jesus said about Abraham in the  Gospel of John, Chapter 8.  But it is not important.   Even if Jesus did not say such words about Abraham,  the idea of Jesus is still very clear:

#Love is important.  It means loving your God,  loving your neighbor, loving your enemy.

#If someone can kill his son to obey an order,  it means love is secondary in him.

#If someone insisted that love is not important,  that love is secondary, it is evil.

#They would betray their love ones for money.

# This is the main issue in the Western culture.

# This is the inner conflict in the Western culture.  Love is downgraded as a secondary, and unimportant thing.

# The only chance for the West is to re-examine this idea.

The Gospel of John, Chapter 8

37

I know that you are Abraham’s descendant. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me....

39

“If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did.

40

you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. (it means: Abraham did not tell you the truth that I heard from God )

41

You are doing the works of your own father. (you are Abraham’s descendants) 

44

 You belong to your father(Abraham) , the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.  He(Abraham) was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 

""""""""

An earlier article:

20241104

How Jesus Objected to Genesis

The case is very clear.  

If a guy agrees to kill his own son to please someone else,  no matter the order is from a king or an evil or from someone who said he is "god",  and if the guy have agreed and prepared to execute that order, the guy is a murderer.

The fictional "god" in Genesis likes obedience and promises  material reward including land for the guy.

And this is totally contrary to Jesus teaching.

 That is why Jesus said that love is more important than "sacrifice". 

 In the book of Genesis, its in the opposite that  "sacrifice" is more important than love.

 And this is not only a simple story.

 This is the major influence to the western world.  All major religions in the western world are in inner conflict if they are to put Jesus and the Genesis together.

 And that's why there is 

no peace in the Western world.

 To give up the soul to exchange for material reward is the main problem for the West.

 That means  hard working is not important,  only that one is willing to give up his soul and he will be rich.

 The next 300 years from now will be a time of no peace if  The Genesis is still honored in the Bibles of the major western religions.

note:

The following is from Chapter 8, The Gospel of John, New Testament.

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[b]”

39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.

“If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”

“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

Jesus left: What happened after Jesus left?

 20241220

What happened after Jesus  left?

 

When Jesus was still alive,   there was no church.  The Catholic Church was established later after Jesus had died.

Jesus tried to bring the message of love to the world, but his message was changed to Jewish faith by the early Catholic Church leaders.

The Jewish idea about love is that love is not important.  The Jewish tradition is circumcision for all baby boys to make them remember obedience is more important than love.

Jesus was the one to oppose the notion in Genesis,  where a  fabricated "god" made Abraham willing to kill his son as a proof of his obedience. Jesus said Abraham was a murderer. (Please refer to The Gospel of John, 8:44)

Early Catholic leaders  incorporated the Jewish idea into the Bible, and changed the message of  Jesus.

In Jesus, love is important.

In Jewish faith,  love is secondary and not important. Abraham can kill his own son to obey an order.

How can the follower of Jesus accept the idea of the Genesis and incorporate it  into the Bible?

All this happened silently and no one had doubted the Bible within the Church.

The ruling power inside the church was extremely tight.

Can people nowadays wake up from this ruling?

If they do wake up,  the West will have a chance to stand up.

Church - What is urgent for the church?

 20241219

Church -  What is urgent for the church?

Jesus has said more than once that love is more important than sacrifices.

In " Genesis ", the message is the opposite.

Abraham was ordered to kill his own son as a sacrifice.

It means sacrifice is more important than love.

And now church people has incorporated "Genesis" into the Bible.

 Church people have accepted the Jewish idea that love is not important.

It is totally contrary to the thought of jesus. 

This is the origin of many wars.

Hypocrisy is not only ugly, it is evil.

Take-off - Who is on the verge of a huge economic take-off?

Take off - Who is on the verge of a huge economic take-off?

Is there any commodity which is on the verge of reality to  dominate the whole world?

If you have such a commodity that ninety percent of the people would like to have one, then,  not only you are rich, but the  economy behind would take-off suddenly and the whole world would be  frightened.

That is why people are crazy in studying science and  technology, hoping to invent something extraordinary and could dominate all the market.

But they did not know this commodity is already invented.

You can buy one, if you like.

What?

What's so interesting that I did not know?

Yes,  that is a self-flying machine which can replace your own car.

You don't need cars anymore.

And you don't need a driving license to drive the flying machine.  Because it is totally automatic.  What you need is only to sit in the machine.   It is a drone.   You can use it to fly anywhere, anytime. It is already in the market.

But why is it still not popular?

All the problem is only in a few things.

One is flying route or flying highway.  You need to have a perfect setup of highways  to let the drones fly safely and freely.

Two is a parking space for this flying machine.

Any country who can build up such a flying network to replace its land traffic,  the demand of flying machines could turn the economy upside down.

Crowded cities will be cities no more.  There are lots of space in the hills, in the far away villages,  islands, deserts, etc. Your country has suddenly expanded into a free and huge area.

What else?

Yes, you need a perfect mobile. And a perfect mobile network.

It is this mobile which can guide the flying machines fly.

A huge economic take-off is closing in.

Cycles - How much time has left for us?

It shouldn't have been a problem for humans.   It is too long to imagine.

 People are keep talking about the final destruction of human beings, it seems there is no hope.

 It was said that the planet has only 4.5 billion years to go.

 Some argue that the time will be much shorter,  as the suitable survival time could have been only 800 million.   After that will be too hot or too dry to survive.

 What is the concept of 800 million?

 Better change it into "cycles" to think.

 Suppose each "cycle" lasts for 10000 years:  it is more or less the  civilization time of humans.  Suppose civilizations were born 10000 years ago till now.

 If we put 10000 as one "cycle",  then we could have 79999 more "cycles" to go. Making up a total of 80000 cycles.

Can we imagine the "2nd cycle" of development? We might have lots of wars,  and lots of improvements. May be the "3rd cycle" will be a  cycle of no war.

 Internal evolution is not easy to predict.  We might be in the status of a wonderful time by the "4th cycle", when internal communication is no more problem in human beings.  There might not be evil on this planet.

What about the remaining 79996 cycles?

 Who can write a future story with each chapter telling 10000 years of human story in a total of 80000 Chapters?

 Anything could happen and anything is possible within the time span of merely 10000 years as one cycle.

 

When humans  are actually  composing, there will be a wonderful time ahead.

And we might have 79999 cycles more to go---on earth only.

 Can you imagine the unimaginable?

 Its exciting.

Earth: Can the earth last forever and what shall we do? 

 It seems pessimistic that everything is dissolvable.

 And it seems to be optimistic that everything is composable.

 Human beings are dissolvable yet composable.

 We are evolving internally as well as  externally.

 Maybe the earth is the same.

 And it might not be too early for us to study the internal side of the earth.

  There is a hope in every aspect of trying.

 No one knows how   internal human beings evolve.

  There are many possibilities for internal evolution.

 Our minds are connected.

 Our strengths are connected.  

 There will be new discoveries and new findings. 

 Humans can explore.

 We can explore the Moon, the Mars, and everything.

 And we can explore the grand internal universe.

 Everything is composable.

 We are heading for a grand future.

Important: What is important?

This is the second time I am in hospital this year.  The first time was April.

  There is an unknown reason of convulsion that I drop on the ground and lost conscious.

 Doctor said  it's dangerous. If convulsion happens again,  I will die easily.

 I'm thinking what's the most important thing I haven't said here?

 The important thing is the concept about life.

 That we are not the body. And even we are not the mind. We are the function we are doing. Its the deeds  that determines who we are and what we are.

 Individual deeds will compose into a total deed of  human.

 And the total deed will constitute the fate of human. 

 We are going into a direction,  it could be positive  or negative. 

 Wars happen because of different direction of the countries.

 Good deeds need to beat the evil deeds.

 Some people would choose to co-exist with the evil.

 Please take a note here. 

 You can co-exist with the evil people.  But you cannot co-exist with the evil itself.

 It's a delicate thing.

 I hope smart people can know how to do.

 The fighting against evil should not be stopped.

 The evil are attacking kind hearted people always.

 Their ambition is obvious. 

 Good people need to stand up to fight against evil people.  If you are not fighting against them, they will destroy you. 

  Fighting is the hope of human future.

There is a  possibility that  human beings will grow into a total body. That is the concept of 人類命運共同體. 

 How would it be  is  too early to say.   But it is a sure thing that humans are more than individuals.

 Humans should love each other and help each other.
