what is wrong with the Western religions

20250624

What is wrong with most of the Western religions?



Important is to know that:


Religion is not command and order.


Most Western religions actually are not religions.


They had transformed the religious doctrine into command and order.


Please read the following to find out the differences.


Terrorism is not the acts of small groups.


Terrorism happened in big wars.


Most humans do not know what they should be doing, because they are living under the Unknown. 


And the Unknown will not issue orders like the religions. 


Orders are from human. 


The Unknown had said nothing.

What is the root cause of terrorism?


8944 What is the root cause of terrorism? 20160724


Actually, this is a question that has been lingering for two thousand years until today. However, for two thousand years, no one has thoroughly addressed it, which allowed a twisted way of thinking to spread and cause harm to this day.


This issue is one that even Jesus did not directly expose. Modern people still may not fully understand why Jesus emphasized loving others. Not only loving one's own people, but also loving one's enemies.


From a philosophical perspective, Jesus' teachings are actually completely opposite to those of the Old Testament. However, many devout religious practitioners have never read the Old Testament thoroughly. In fact, anyone who takes the time to read the Old Testament carefully from start to finish will see that its absolute obedience leads to killing. The violence in the Old Testament is identical to modern terrorism’s slaughter. Both involve indiscriminate killing of civilians and soldiers, slaughter and extermination, not tolerance or understanding. Moreover, the absolute obedience required is not directed at the Creator, but at the priests.


In the Old Testament, Abraham (referred to as Abraham in Catholicism and Ibrāhīm in Islam) obeyed God's command to personally kill his son without doubt. This kind of absolute obedience evolved into obedience to priests. And this obedience is tested through slaughter.


In contrast, Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi’s philosophy is completely opposite. The Creator in Zhuangzi’s view only says that the power of choice lies in yourself. (Not in God or anyone else. Once you choose, you are responsible.) (And making choices requires wisdom.)


If Greek culture is an external perspective, then Hebrew culture is even more intense. For major political issues, the only solution is destruction. Like an unskilled bone-setter who, rather than treating injuries, only excises the wounds—if you have athlete’s foot, he might even cut off both your feet. External thinking completely ignores inner truth and does not probe into the essence.


During Jesus’ time, the forces of the Old Testament were extremely powerful. Jesus did not directly oppose the Old Testament, but the essence of his thinking was actually entirely opposite. For two thousand years, whether Protestant or Catholic, they only superficially revered Jesus, but their critique of the negative ideas in the Old Testament has been superficial and evasive, allowing the murderous mindset to persist stubbornly.


Respected political and religious figures tend to avoid confronting such serious ideological harm. They only give instructions to followers at appropriate times: do not read certain books, just obediently listen. In their minds, obedience is the most important. They never realize that blind obedience is akin to murder.


Jesus said that compassion is more important than sacrifice. However, many religious officials only emphasize worship and rituals, ignoring the profound suffering faced by the world.


The roots of radical Islamic forces and Israeli Judaism are actually identical: both stem from the revenge and hatred mentality in the Old Testament. Radical Islamic ideology comes from the Hebrew scriptures, and the faith of the Jews is based on the same texts.


What is surprising is that today, this regional conflict—and the ideological source behind it—has rapidly spread worldwide. Distant regions may have no direct connection with radical religious forces, yet they are easily influenced by such negative ways of thinking. They may not understand externalized science, but they readily adopt externalized extremism. They do not realize that killing one person is easy, killing a hundred is easy, but saving billions of lives requires reading. Not just browsing books at a book fair or looking at pretty women, but reading through ten thousand volumes. What does “reading through” mean? It means seeing through, looking inside. Because wisdom is inside.


Furthermore, I must clarify: the root cause of terrorism is not the Old Testament itself, but the hatred and killing ideas within it. The Old Testament is an important cultural treasure, containing countless beneficial ideas. Those who understand it well will find wisdom and wealth comparable to King Solomon. As for those who criticize the Old Testament, as Jesus said, they are placed at the lowest rank in the Kingdom of Heaven. But that’s okay, because you are already in the Kingdom of Heaven.






8944 恐怖主義根源的根源是甚麼 ?  20160724


其實這是兩千年前留落到今天的問題了。只是,兩千年來都無人說穿,因此任由一種扭曲了的思維方式流傳,禍延至今。

這問題,是連耶穌都不直接點破的。今日的人,仍然未必完全明白,為甚麼耶穌說要愛人。不但只是愛自己人,連仇敵都要愛。

從哲學層面去看,耶穌的主張, 實質上和舊約完全相反。只不過,許多熱心的宗教人仕,從未完整閱讀舊約。其實,任何稍為認真的人, 從頭到尾看一次舊約, 就會看到,其中的絕對服從,就是殺人。舊約中的殺戮,和今天恐怖主義的殺戮, 是完全一樣的。一樣是無分平民和軍隊的, 是屠殺和滅絕, 而不是寬容和諒解。而且,所需要絕對服從的,並非造物主, 而是祭師。

舊約中描述亞伯拉罕(天主教譯作亞巴郎,回教譯作易卜拉欣)服從上主的命令,要親自下手殺死兒子, 毫不懷疑。這一種絕對服從的思想, 演變出來, 就是對於祭師的服從。而絕對服從是以殺戮作為考驗的。

對比之下,中國人的莊子哲學是完全相反的。莊子的造物主只會說, 抉擇之權在你自已手上。(不是在神或者任何其他人的手上。你既然抉擇了, 就要自己負責。)(而抉擇需要智慧。)

如果說, 希臘文化是一種外在觀察的文化, 則希伯來文化是更嚴重的。對於重大的政治問題, 唯一的手段就是毀滅。就好像一個不良的跌打醫生, 不會療治任何創傷,卻只會把傷患切除。就算是你患上的只是足癬, 他亦會把你的兩隻腳切去。外在的思維方式,完全不接觸內裡,也不深究本質。

耶穌時代, 舊約勢力絕對強大, 耶穌並無直接反對舊約,但耶穌的思維本質, 其實是完全和舊約相反的。兩千年來, 無論新教舊教,只會表面上奉承耶穌, 但對於舊約的不良思想,卻都只是避重就輕, 以至仇殺思維, 仍然極度頑固。

德高望重的各種政治文人和宗教庸人, 對於如此嚴重的思想禍患, 迴避唯恐不及。他們只會適時對徒眾指示, 不要看甚麼甚麼書, 只要乖乖地聽話。在他們心中,服從是最重要的。他們永遠不知道, 絕對服從不用腦,就等於殺人。

耶穌說,慈悲是比拜祭重要的。但大量的宗教人仕, 只重視拜祭和儀式, 不理世界面臨的深重苦難。

激進回教勢力和以色列猶太教的思想根源, 其實是完全一樣的。都是舊約中的仇恨報復思想。激進回教的思想,來自希伯來經典。而猶太人信奉的,亦是相同的經典。

想不到的只是, 今日, 這種地區性質而且屬於同一思想來源的對抗, 已經迅速傳遍世界。因為, 遙遠的地區, 未必和激進宗教勢力有直接關係, 卻很容易接受不良的思維方式。外在化的科學, 他們未必懂得, 但外在化的偏激思想, 卻一教就會。他們不知道, 要殺一個人很容易, 要殺一百個人也很容易, 但要挽救億萬蒼生, 就要讀書。不是逛書展看美女那樣的讀書, 而是讀破萬卷書。何謂「破」?就是要識穿, 要看進裡面。因為, 智慧是在裡面的。

還要聲明一點:恐怖主義的根源, 不是舊約這一部經典, 而是這部經典中的仇恨和殺戮思想。舊約是重要的文化寶藏。裡面的有益思想多不勝數。有所領略的人, 智慧和財富可比所羅門王。至於批評舊約的人,就好像耶穌所說, 在天國裡, 是排在最末位置的。但這已經很好了。因為, 你已經進入天國了。

Why there are no books to read?

 20250623

Why there are no books to read?


It is one of the most important messages from the "Dream of the red chamber".

....I have no books to read: Thus said Jia Bao-yu.

It means there is no guidance from the Unknown or from the ancestors.

Do not expect to have a good guidance for us human beings.

Do not expect a guidance from the Unknown.

Do not expect to have a real Holy Book from Heavens to guide all the ways.

Humans need to search their own ways by themselves.

Ancestors will give guidance, but it needs not be true.

You need to search on your own.

You need to go your own way.

You can have a good result or you need to bear the  consequences.

It means everyone needs to think on their own,  and every culture needs to find their own.....


If there is no guidance, will there be a hint?

Yes.

There will be tomorrow,  and there will be sunrise,  or sunset.

We are going,  yet we are coming.

etc and etc.

Whenever you have started to think for the humans and for the universe,  you'll find comfort and peace.

What is the significance of the Iran-Israel war?

 20250621

What is the significance of the Iran-Israel war?



The whole world will be completely changed by this war.


The change is fast and imminent.


Please do not neglect the significance.   It is the only chance helping the whole world change.


All religious locks will be unlocked.


Humans were just like robots controlled by ancient religions.


Huge locks were upon the heads of almost all humans.


Humans are not completely free as expected.


Wrong  thoughts were everywhere to harness minds. 


Wrong thoughts made people selfish.


People were selfish enough to make war.


And this significance of a sudden insight is not only happened in the lands of Israel and Iran.


The significance is worldwide.


This is a chance to open up.


But it needs a quick action.


The chance is slim and urgent.


The impact will be gone soon.


Bad religious remedies for the wrong thoughts will be fast too.


Quick action is needed.


Before everybody was confused again after the shock.


Clear minds will emerge by huge quick efforts.


Humans will wake up from the nightmares.


This is the top most important urgent matter now.

What is a robot's robot?

 20250620

What is a robot's robot?






Sometimes we are the slaves of a heritage.


And you can say we are the robots of our ancestors.


Good hearted person in the ancient times often issue rules and boundarues.



It might not be a bad thing, if you cannot think on your own.


You can be a good robot relying on your ancestor.


And you have started to give rules and boundaries when you get older.


There will be robot's robots. 


And there will be wars among them.


Some of them can survive and some of them got killed.


And important is not the source of my knowledge.


I can have no other source, but the existing one.


I have no books to read: Thus said Jia Bao-yu.


A robot's robot is somewhat like a bible's bible.


It is ridiculous but it lasts very long.


Think more deeply on it.

What is the future of material seeking?

20250619

What is the future of material seeking?


 

There is no future for material seeking.  The end result is only hell.


And the implications  could be seen through the fight between Jesus and the Pharisees(法利塞人)in history.


I hope the fight will not be forgotten by the western minds.


When people are attending the church every Sunday,  they might still remember a little about it,  although many intellects have chosen to leave.


At first it seems it's nothing wrong to be more "practical".


When people are concentrating too much on money, they forget their mind.


Extremely terrible wars happened this way.


And sometimes wars can lead people to penetrate deeply into the mind more than external material.


The mind is in inside and the material is in outside.


Actually, mind and material cannot be totally separated.


Can the external people devour everything from this planet?


It would be hell waiting ahead.

a note from an AI machine:


Who Were the Pharisees?


The Pharisees were a Jewish religious group that existed during the Second Temple period (roughly 5th century BCE to 1st century CE). They were known for their strict adherence to the Torah (Jewish law) and oral traditions. The Pharisees emphasized piety, purity laws, and the importance of both written and oral teachings, making them influential in Jewish society and religious life at the time.


Biblical Context and Symbolic Meaning


In the New Testament, the Pharisees are often depicted as opponents of Jesus. They are portrayed as legalistic, self-righteous, and overly focused on external adherence to religious laws, sometimes at the expense of compassion and spiritual understanding. This portrayal has contributed to their symbolic representation in Christian tradition.


Symbolic Significance


Legalism and Hypocrisy:** The Pharisees are frequently used as symbols of religious hypocrisy—those who appear devout on the outside but lack genuine faith or humility inwardly. Their emphasis on outward observance over inner virtue makes them a cautionary figure against superficial religiosity.


Self-Righteousness:** They can symbolize self-righteousness or moral superiority, illustrating the danger of relying on one's own righteousness rather than God's grace.


Spiritual Blindness:** The Pharisees' failure to recognize Jesus' true identity and mission is often interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual blindness or closed-mindedness to divine truth.


In summary:


In biblical symbolism, the Pharisees represent tendencies toward legalism, hypocrisy, and self-righteousness in religion. Their depiction serves as a warning against externalism in faith and emphasizes the importance of sincerity, humility, and inner spiritual transformation.

What is the most terrible thing?

 20250618

What is the most terrible thing?





The world is witnessing the most terrible things happening.


An entire country can be eliminated from the planet in a few days.


What is it?


This is the difference of a magnifier and a microscope.


When your eyesight could be seeing things like a  magnifier,  but your enemies can see it like a microscope.


It means there is a knowledge gap between you and your enemy.


You can only have swords and knives.   But your enemy has got missiles.


When they can know where you live,  which room you are staying,   which bed you are sleeping,   and what side of the bed you are on.


But you know nothing about it.   You cannot know you are being watched.    You cannot avoid the bullets coming into your place.


It is a gap between you and your enemy.


What does it mean? 


It is ignorance.


And ignorance means death.


Ignorance means elimination.


It is scary.


It is true.


Will it be too late to know about this?


Will it be too soon to forget about this?


Do you know what place you are living in?


Do you know what beds you are sleepping on?


It is a good lesson to be learned.


The world need to open their eyes.


The world need to wake up from their comfortable bedrooms.


What is it like?


Just like the Opium War in 1842.


It is exactly the same story.


Can you win the war when you have only swords and knives?


Yes.   This was the idea of a great man.


He is  Lin Zexu (林則徐).

What is the inner elements of Persia?

 20250618

What is the inner elements of Persia?




Persia is a strange country. 

  

Persia has been destroyed many times.   The newest destruction happened  only a few days ago:  Iran was completely destroyed.  


Maybe Persia was created as a  comparison to Greece.


Persia is a name to stand for  Oriental culture,  and Greek stands for the West.


Although history has been long but its not very complicated.


Please search for the term 波斯 from my blog here.  Interested people will find what they are not  supposed to know.


And please note that Persia can stand for the Oriental culture,  yet it is not fully completed,  its only the Eastern end of the Western culture,  they are the same actually.  They were both spelling-language users.


Only the Chinese culture is comparable with the West.  But Chinese culture is not Oriental.

 

Persia is not China.


The question is: how different are these two kinds of culture?

Can the mind locks be unlocked without a war?

 20250617

Can the mind locks be unlocked without a war?



For the winning side,  they will lock themselves up further more after the war.


Minds could only be opened through suffering.


You suffered more and you think more.


Only an extremely rare number of people  can use their mind properly without suffering.


Those were Saints.


Humans are robots of their ancestors.


They are mostly slaves, not saints.


Ancient people have set up too many laws for the future human beings.


Maybe that was necessary.


Humans will come to an early demise if the laws are not there for the slaves.


However many of the wars are not from the ancient laws.  It is from a greedy need of the modern people.


Please don't blame your ancestors if you are greedy.


Please don't blame the Saints if you need more earthly pleasure.


The ancient locks will be unlocked through sufferings of the modern people.


They might be suffering because the war is losing.


And it is good for the brains to unlock.


Let those greedy peoples sleep in their own locks.


For how long? you might ask.


For another one thousand years at least, I might guess.


And I might be too optimistic to calculate them in thousands.


Because the mind locks are too strong.


How could one to unlock them without enough suffering?


Sufferings are the sources of wisdom. 


It might be the design of the unknown. And I must say:


Thank you.

What if all the minds are unlocked?

 20250616

What if all the minds are unlocked?




By then, humans will be able to face the unknown directly.


There were lots of fabricated stories from ancient people.


The fabricated stories are locks for future humans.


Human minds are locked up by pre-set rules.


Human minds can seldom going outside the boundaries to think.


It is funny to have an unseen boundary for the human minds.


They never dare going  outside.


It is a shame to fight the wars in the modern times with old dictation of minds.


Humans never know that they are only robots of their ancestors.


It is another funny thing to think of.


Yes, you are the robot of your fathers, even though they were dead long ago.


And this is a proof that they are not dead.


They are still alive.


They are controlling you and me.


It is completely absurd and funny.


Yet, it is painfully true.







..



6/15/2025

Why the funny war must be stopped at once?

20250615

Why the funny war must be stopped at once?


It is funny not because they don't know why they are fighting.

It is funny because they cannot know that they can never reach the goal of their war.

It is because they can never eliminate each other.

It is not a simple murder case.

If you kill someone and that one is eliminated, it MEANT you are successful.

But if no one can eliminate the other, it is just a waste of time to do the fighting.

The above is very simple logic.



Next is why the logic can dominate?

Because humans are dominated by the past.

They are living under the old stories:

The old stories are a complete set of pre-set thoughts.

It is funny because they don't know their minds are locked.

Wars will be going on like this for another one thousand year and more.

Unless the locks are unlocked.










note:

Why it is important to save Europe?

There will not be a good time for everyone, if Europe is not saved.

 

It is easier to save them from outside.

 

Because the Europeans are living inside their own paradigm.  They cannot see clearly from the inside.

 

Although the paradigm seems to be simple, but it is extremely difficult to remove it.

 

It seems that the paradigm is coming from a Christian faith.

 

Many people do not believe in religion but they cannot get away from the influence of the paradigm.

 

Anyone can say, “ Ok, I do not believe in the end of the world”. But personal views cannot remove the power of a paradigm. The paradigm current simply goes its own way. 

 

It is the total culture current which determines the total behavior of any country and Euorope.

 

The feeling of no future is everywhere.  The feeling of anti-wisdom is everywhere. Anyone could submerge in its own way of life, and the people are uncertain about life. Life is meaningless in such a sense.

 

The United States culture is not like the Europeans, but they are no better.  Their issue is to make money regardless of everything not concerned.  They will not care about all the rest. They will ruin themselves sooner than everyone.

 

The European Paradigm is from an Israel religion.  At first it was only a story about Genesis and the Apocalypse. Later it had become a paradigm about the beginning and end of time and space. Many scientists cannot avoid this misconception. They “believe” the beginning is a result of calculation. 

 

Jesus was the most important reformer of the Israeli religion, but he was inside the paradigm when he tried to lead the people to a new path of wisdom and love.

 

The paradigm has become even stronger after Christ.

 

Sorry I have to interrupt here a little,  as I need to explain the relations between a paradigm and a religion.

 

The issue starts from a question:

 

Why are there miracles in all religions?  It seems that all religions have got their own magical power,  which might have been given to them by  the unknown from the above. Yet all religions cannot be completely correct.  They are not omnipotent.  Although they can perform miracles sometimes.

 

If they are not omnipotent,   then they can be wrong  in guiding the path of humans. For example, Jesus and Buddha is the most talented of all and I love them from the deepest inside of my soul.

 

Yet Jesus was in the paradigm of the beginning and the end.  He was wise to dispute against the Old Testament  and the old form of the Israel religion by promotion of love rather than hate.  Yet he was working inside the paradigm of the old Jewish faith.

 

I do not know where does the  magical  power of the different religions come from.  Maybe they were all allowed by the unknown.

 

It could be an unknown secret for us human beings.  But the fact is  religions cannot avoid the influence of paradigms.  They were working inside paradigms. It's  complicated but I believe humans  with a sincere mind  can work it out sometimes later.

 

Now we must come back to the European problem.

 

One is that Europeans can be saved if they can come out of this paradigm.  

 

If you appreciate the wonderful  masterpieces of the Renaissance,  you'll see that they are under the influence of the paradigm of beginning and end.  Apocalypse is a major theme in their works.

 

And gradually the brilliant minds in the Renaissance have become  stubborn in doubts of the human reasoning power and created works of anti-wisdom.

 

And soon  human minds collapsed into materialistic corruption.

 

The question is, how can you change the deep-rooted paradigms in the other culture?

 

Please keep this question in your own mind.

 

It is extremely important.

 

If you can save your friend,  or if you can save your enemy, you will save yourself, you might not be aware that you are in danger, and you need to have a clear mind.

 

This is not a joke;  I trust you are sincere.

 

And the question remains. 

 

How are people from the other major culture to save Europe?

 

How?


And the answer could be positive.

How urgent is the study of qi?

 20250614

How urgent is the study of qi?





The urgency seems not really high to compare with the electricity.


It seems qi is a feeling more than a controllable energy.


Serious studies would have  taken place since the beginning of the discovery of qi many years ago,  if people had recognized its importance.


Yet, the qi remained a remotely observed phenomenon, and not many measures have taken.


However,  qi is different.


Though qi is not controlable like electricity, qi is actually helpful in medical field.


The problem is that qi cannot be separated or extracted like fuel or gas; it seems to be an intrinsic function of the human body.


How urgent is the study of qi?


Perhaps not as urgent as needing a cup of coffee.


However, it is best to study it early, before it is "wasted" or "occupied" by others.


One interesting point is that, if qi were found to have the ability to 'move' or 'push' objects, then the physical laws we learned in school would need to be reviewed.


And the inner quality of qi in our bodies needs more attention.


Maybe a singer can know more than other people because if a song were sung with the help of qi, the song could be completely different.

How can qi be healing?

 20250613

How can qi be healing?

 


 Maybe it is only fixing.   And fixing is helpful, if not a complete healing.


  Sometimes when I was weak,  I felt cold.  I will walk aside and do the shaking for a few munites and the bad feeling will be gone.


 And I will guide the qi around my fourteen meridian lines whenever I have time.


 Sometimes when I am busy, and I have only a few munites,  I will guide the qi around my Ren mai(任脈) and Du mai(督脈),  it is magical.


 It was said that if you can link up the Ren mai and Du mai, you will enter a higher level of living.  I believe it is true,  according to my own experience.


 Please do not hesitate to try,  you will find it very helpful.

How can anyone feel "Qi"?

 20250612

How can anyone feel "Qi"?




Qi is something like the unseen blood.   Blood is everywhere in the body,  yet it will not be seen.  qi is more than that,  as qi is an energy,  it can be felt but not to be seen by the eyes.


Imagine a very cold situation.   You are so cold and you have not enough clothes.   Then you'll be shaking.   The shaking is so strong,  even the lips are shaking.   But the shaking starts from the stomach.   


Now can you pretend it's very cold and you are shaking,  like you are infront of an audiance you need to perform a shaking gesture?


You stand in the middle of the stage,  and you shake yourself like its very cold.


Now you can imagine the qi is inside your stomach some where below the navel, in the Dantian.


The Qi is there.  You can feel it if you shake.  But you still can feel it without shaking.


 One important feature about "Qi" is that it can move by your imagination.  It can be directed by your own will.


Now please direct your qi into your right hand index finger,  and then point to the left index finger.....do not touch them and keep a little distance 1 cm away ......now you can feel the qi is going into the left finger,  and going inwards a little,  and then its gone.


 And that concludes the experiment temporary,   because you can always repeat it and feel it again and again.

Why can't humans use muscles and tendons to fly?

20250611

 Why can't humans use muscle and tendons to fly?


 


The above question is not about flying.   Flying is only an example for thoughts to go.


The major issue is the energy behind,  which is the support of movements.


How can tandons and muscle produce force?


Are nerve system and blood the only sources to make them move?


May be more is needed.


Qi is the more important factor for "movements".


And its more than movements. Every part of the body,  or even every cell of the parts need qi to activate them.


Any one can learn to use qi as a motivate source for their living needs.


And qi is more than an energy source.


Qi give you extra motivation and healing energy.


Qi is constantly  circulating in the human body and once it is blocked will produce problem.


And the question is why can't humans fly?


If humans are given a pair of wings,  do they need to have more extra Qi to fly?


Qi might be the more important issue in flying......


Or the flying of thoughts,  too.


(I hope more people be involved to dream about the issue.  It could be the next wave of invention,


And it could be more than a dream.  It is possible to  activate your own qi for your own usage: to work, to think and to heal.  I used it very often. You will have a stronger mind and a stronger body.)


( The problem is how to activate your qi,    it is not very difficult ,  because qi is related to mind,  or thinking.   You just summone,  then it will come. and the qi flow can be guided by your will. )






..




note:

Here is a standard answer from the traditional knowledge of an AI machine which may be a hindrance of new thoughts, if it is trusted completely.


Humans can't use muscles and tendons to fly primarily because our bodies are not anatomically or physiologically designed for flight. Several key reasons explain this:


Lack of Suitable Wing Structures:

   Humans do not have wings or any appendages capable of generating the necessary lift. Bird wings are specialized structures with a large surface area, lightweight bones, and specific muscle arrangements that allow for powerful, sustained flapping or gliding—features humans lack.


Insufficient Muscle Power and Structure:

   Bird flight relies on highly efficient, large pectoral muscles attached to a lightweight skeleton. Human muscles are not adapted for the rapid, repetitive, and forceful wing flapping motions needed for flight. Our muscle mass and attachment points are optimized for bipedal locomotion, not for generating lift.


Body Mass and Bone Density:

   Human bodies are relatively heavy and dense compared to flying animals like birds and bats, which have lightweight bones and bodies optimized for flight. The human skeleton is designed to support upright walking and running, not to minimize weight for flight.


Energy Requirements:

   Flying is energy-intensive. Birds have high metabolic rates and specialized respiratory systems to support sustained flight. Humans would need an enormous amount of energy and a highly efficient oxygen delivery system to sustain flight, which our physiology does not support.


Evolutionary Constraints:

   Human evolution has prioritized other traits—such as dexterity, intelligence, and endurance running—over flight. The development of wings and the associated musculature would require a fundamental redesign of our anatomy and physiology, which evolution has not favored.


In summary:

While humans can mimic flight through technology (airplanes, gliders, jetpacks), our muscles and tendons alone are not capable of producing the necessary lift and thrust for flight because of anatomical, physiological, and evolutionary limitations.

How the moon stings?

How the moon stings?

Original:

月色冷如鎗

直搗心上傷

白光臨黑夜

銀衣披身上


Translation:

The moonlight is cold as a spear,

Piercing straight into the heart and wounds.

White light descends upon the black night,

Clad in silver garments.

Original:

月色刺目

人生罕見

覆山蓋地

威嚴出現

直貫眼底

彈雨臨窗

明明白白

西天欲變


Translation:

The moonlight is dazzling,

Rare in life to see such.

Covering mountains and covering the land,

A mighty presence appears.

Straight piercing into the eyes,

Rain of bullets strikes the window,

Clear and bright,

The Western sky is about to change.

what is good in the bad?

 20250609

what is good in the bad?



There is an ugly show in the highest circles in the west.


People won't expect they can see the other side in some of the human beings.  


What is the result of the worst things happened?


Can human beings still be trusted?


And the answer is positive.


There will be bad human,   and there will be good human.


It will be very bad if you cannot find a bad human in this planet.    It means there will be no good human too.


If you have a color of white,  then the black is expected.


All can be relaxed this way.

What is the impact of a "distance"?

 20250608

What is the impact of a "distance"?




"Distance"  can have different impacts.


It's not the same thing happened five minutes ago or five hundred years ago.


And it is not the same thoughts happened within your eyesight or happened far far away.


One will be much smarter if  "distance" is considered.


Can you feel the heartbeat of a mother when she lost her child in Gaza?


Minds will be changed according to distance.


The impact of distance will happened in science studies also.


People easily neglect facts in a distance.


Those who can handle knowledge from all sides far and near are closer to the truth.


If the feelings can be touched by a remote heart, you can say to the Unknown;


 "Thank you,  we humans are improving."

Why are the States declining??

  20250607

 Why are the States declining?





The above question is not a good one for a more accurate description of the human situations.


Its better not to ask who is declining and who is rising.


Actually, it is the problem of human affairs. It is not important to know who is going upwards and who is going downwards.


Important is the situation and the direction.


The situation is:  humans are more cooperative than before.   Humans are not working single handedly.  Humans are working in a certain kind of unity.


This is a trend of cooperation.


Humans need to work together.


And this is the direction:


A direction going upwards.


Therefore humans need to love each other.


Humans need not to hate each other.


Human situation is cooperative.


Human direction is going upwards.


The future is bright.


The choice is going together with the trend.


If the choice is going against the trend,  there will be serious fights.


And it is not avoidable.

Where is the weakest point in the human brain?

 20250605

Where is the weakest point in the human brain?



Actually, it might not be a weak point.   It might be the best part of the human brain.  


To compare with  a computer, or any future  calculating devices,  human brain seems weak and not balanced.


The human brain measures each and every elements of data with a different scale,  not like a computer.


In many cases, "passion" is an element not to neglect in the calculations.


People are always trying to forget about passion or feelings when they are doing mathematics.


But a student with passion in his mind might perform better in mathematics......its not proved,  its personal experience.


When you can see everythings with a passion,  you will weep for the true beauty in a flower, you will be excited in the nature of a science discovery, and most important at all:  you can see hidden truth in facts.


Passion is an inner nature born not with all people.


It is the nature of a few only.


Sometimes suffering can bring out the passion within a person......but not all.


Many people have suffered, but not all of them talented.


It is the secret of the universe.

Why do people not see the barrier within the barrier?

 20250603

An old article with a new barrier......


5/17/2016

8909 Why do people not see the barrier within the barrier? 20160517




It’s similar to the feeling of color blindness: it’s as if you’re living entirely in a black-and-white-gray world, where everything you see isn’t truly real. It’s as if the place you are in isn’t Earth—or maybe it’s hell. Although you’ve tried hard to find the true colors beneath the gray tones, you have no idea what color really means.


But do not mock friends who are color blind. You and I might be exactly the same. Though we see colors with our eyes, we cannot see the beauty behind them. Many people are unaware of what beauty truly is.


If only they could see the beauty within colors, they would have long become masters of their craft.


The barrier exists within everything.


Not only can one not see beauty, but they also cannot see the truth. They feel that this world has never been real. They cannot perceive the connections between things. They believe everything is as it is from the beginning. Their perspective lacks the ability to penetrate deeper. Because, between the world and themselves, there is a kind of barrier. An invisible barrier.


They have fallen into a worse state than color blindness.


If there were no barrier between them and the world, they could be great painters, great musicians, great scientists, great politicians, great businesspeople.


Seeing the relationships between material things—that’s what makes a great scientist. Seeing the connections between markets—that’s what makes a great merchant.


When there is a barrier, it becomes impossible to see.


Many people never cry. Here, what is meant is the intense feeling you experience when you see a connection. You might burst into laughter and joy, or uncontrollably shed tears. These tears are not of sorrow or grievance, but from a powerful震動 (shaking, trembling).


You cry when you see famous paintings. You cry when you listen to music. You cry when you read books. You are unblocked.


Where does the barrier come from?


Every person comes into the world as if wrapped in an eggshell.


You must break the eggshell to see the world.


You must believe that you are one with the world. You have no personal agenda. You are completely unselfish. You do not think of personal interests. With that, the vague, dark fog in your eyes suddenly disappears. It’s as if you’ve put on new glasses. Or suddenly, you’ve become mentally ill.


You are no longer color blind. You can see the beauty of the world.


But there is still a problem here.


Can being unselfish break the barrier?


Is it because of sharp vision that one is unselfish, or because being unselfish sharpens one’s vision?


Which one is the cause?


It’s hard to say.


In the end, it requires effort.


Like a chick pecking through the eggshell to come into the world. If the eggshell isn’t broken, the chick will die inside.


You will also die inside—becoming a living dead, a zombie.


Let’s start from this moment. You may curse Richard as absurd. You may smash the screen. Do you dare? I doubt you dare. Someone who is even pained over a few dollars—what hope do they have?

Poem in Cantonese




從未試圖瞓大覺

走到倦時鬆一鬆

成日咁做做到仆

仆到直時仲識笑



AI translated and AI noted

(....with a help from me the human)



Never tried to sleep in

I pause when weary

Works drag me straight

Can still laugh when fall flat




note

1. **瞓大覺 (sleep in)**  

   → "Sleep in" captures the cultural nuance of *intentionally resting longer* rather than mere sleeping.


2. **鬆一鬆 (pause for a break)**  

   → The reduplication "鬆一鬆" implies a *brief, intentional respite*, rendered as "pause for a break".


3. **做到仆 (drags me down till I drop)**  

   → "仆" (literally "fall forward") is idiomatically translated as "drop/crash", paired with "drags me down" to convey exhaustion's cumulative weight.


4. **仲識笑 (still I laugh)**  

   → The irony of laughing amid collapse ("仲" = *still*) is preserved with "Yet... still I laugh", highlighting the poem's dark humor.


5. **Rhythm & Tone**  

   The AABB rhyme scheme (break/laugh) and punchy cadence mirror the original's gallows humor about modern burnout. "Drags me down till I drop" echoes the visceral fatigue in "做到仆".

What is the mystery in the Chinese mind?

 20250601

What is the mystery in the Chinese mind?





Even the Chinese themselves do not know this mystery sometimes.


And I cannot expect how long a time will last for this mystery to be explored.


This might be the first and basic mystery of the Chinese mind.


The second mystery might be easier: 


It is:  How do you know your "inspiration" starts. 


Sometimes it's only a hint of thought.  With this special "hint",  you can discover many things.  For example,  dangers.  Some people can know there might be something important happenning and should leave at once like a fire....


Where does the "hint" come from?  But its only secondary as it happens on only a few quiet minds,  not every one.


The first mystery of the Chinese mind is the language itself.


The secret is in the "index" of the Chinese words.


There is no index like spellings in the western language.


You cannot "re-call" a single Chinese word if it happens to be "lost"  temporary from your mind.....this happens very offen when I was writing with a pen on papers.  If a word is missed, and even if the "sound" of that word is missed also, when you were writing in an urgent flow of mind but the word was not there.....how are you to "pick" it up from the ocean of words when actually there was no index in the  Chinese language?


All modern indexing methods for the Chinese words are  later inventions only:   For example, the "Romantization" of the Chinese words are a later invention and its not a naturally born feature.


It was a wonderful feeling for the early children when they learn how to read and write with a natural mind without the interference of spelling of  alphabets:   You might destroy the mind of a genius if you insist to teach spelling to a baby child before his natural language ability.


How are you to pick up words from your mind when you are thinking?


And sometimes the thoughts are not in languages too.....  The Russian leader Joseph Stalin did not believe this.  He thought  language is the only channel to think....may be some people of a left- hemisphere dominance cannot do away language when they think.  They cannot imagine the thoughts could fly without words:  Especially when the words are not a spelling word.


A western mind cannot imagine how can words be  without a spelling.


Yet the Chinese words can be picked up without an index.


This is the first and most important mystery in the Chinese civilization.


For the more advanced mind of people,   it is a secret of the mother nature.  And it is better to respect and not to neglect it.

How to beat with a rising level?

20250531

How to beat with a rising level?



Maybe this is the only way to success.

People will wait gratefully to accept your gift in the beat.

You are in different levels at first.

And you get closer afterwards.

You have created a friend, not an enemy.

Are you powerful enough to help the other people go up one level?

As your power is from above, not from below.

You extend a hand  downward to help.

You raise your hand upward to rise.

You gained  power in the course of rising.

Down level fighting is bad.

You will lose a friend and yourself.

How to communicate?



There are the best of religions.   They can communicate very well.


And there are worst religins.   They can also communicate very well....with the negative side perhaps.


There are the best of non- religions.  And there are the worst of non-religions as well.


It is very confusing.  There are many rules and  disciplines to follow. 


Communicate seems impossible sometimes.


Its only when the communicate switch is turned off.


Turn it on silently,  and wait.


Best is not to wait.


Best is go away.

What is time?

 20250528

What is time?





It seems to be easy at first: Time is a route.  


If you are in the wrong way, you will lose time.


But if I were not wrong, how could I know which is the right path?


I was in the basement of a Hong Kong car park.  I was happy to have found a space. But it was narrow and difficult.  I wasted a lot of time trying to squeeze in. I didn't know there was an easier space nearby, until I was told.  


Do you know what I was thinking at the time?  I was reluctant to go away. I do not want to waste my time over that narrow space. I was almost in love with that narrow space and was almost succeeded to enter that narrow path. 


It was lucky, I changed my mind. I had wasted a lot of time already.  But as soon as I moved to a new space,  all problems solved at once.


What is time?


Time is the right path.


But some times you will fall in love with the wrong path.


Because the wrong path sometimes can give you a sense of success though it is not.


What is time?


Time is not in the route.


Sometimes you need to insist. Sometimes you need to change.


It is because, time is the judgment in your mind.


A beautiful lady can waste her time staying with the wrong guy,  until she got old and found she had lost her youth.......

How to fight with time?


Some of the very old trees in Hong Kong are my friends.

I will not talk with them intentionally.

But I believe the inner links.

They will not have a question like me.

They will never ask:  How to fight with time? It's funny,  if you take time as an enemy to fight with.

Time is not my enemy.

Time is only my friend.

But my worry is that I am losing them.

My old friends are gone one by one.

It's just natural and simple.

But simple is not to veto.

Just like an old tree your friend.   You can neglect them,  but its better not to turn away...

Basic strategy regarding the Taiwan issue is what?



  In the minds of some higher officers in China,  the basic strategy in Taiwan issue is nothing.  


下筆縱有千言,胸中實無一策。"Even if a thousand words are flowing from the brush, there is not a single strategy in their heart. "  


This was how  Zhuge Liang 諸葛亮 criticize the  Confucian high officers.


There might be some military plans,  some economy arrangements,  some sporadic measures in politics,  but there is no strategy in culture.


If the problem last for the next thirty years,   Taiwan will have a very sad future.

How to Elevate a Country’s Wisdom?

 20250526

How to Elevate a Country’s Wisdom?



Wisdom can only be elevated in a long term prospect.  For a short term or even emergent need,  only knowledge and technology are possible.

And the dilemma is:  without the support of a higher wisdom,  knowlwdge and technology are useless.

Can the wisdom be elevated overnight in an urgent time?

The answer is yes, but it needs determination.

A  student monk pleaded with tears to monk Bodhidharma how he could increase wisdom. The story said the student monk obtained wisdom almost instantly for his determination.

I doubted whether it is possible....because it did not tell how it could be done to change completly the thinking processs of a common youth.

It needs years of education and culture backup,  perhaps.

However,  wisdom is important when you need to make decision.

The clue was not mentioned by the monk:

The need is a selfless approach..... if you are prepared to dedicate your whole life and more than one arm for it,  you can go ahead.


But the question is not for individuals.  It is the problem of a whole nation or even the whole world:

"How to Elevate a Country’s Wisdom?"

However,  it can be started from the determination of a single person in a single country.

 That is the reason why there is hope for this whole world.



Note:

The story goes like this.....

A young monk approached Master Bodhidharma and asked how he could increase his wisdom. Bodhidharma did not respond. To demonstrate his sincerity, the young monk cut off his arm and offered it to Bodhidharma. Still, Bodhidharma remained unmoved. He simply asked, "What do you want to learn?" The young monk replied, "I wish to learn how to settle my mind." Bodhidharma said, "Is your mind not already here?" The young monk reflected deeply, and suddenly everything became clear to him.


and more:


It needs wisdom internationally.  For example,  is it the right time to start a Gaza war,  Ukrain war or Taiwan war?


It needs calculation when people were starting the world wars,  yet calculation is not enough.  It needs wisdom to think.

How to connect with a tree?

  20250525

How to connect with a tree?





I hope it is not too naive to think if my own inner tempo can be singing together with the tree,  wonderful things will happen.


Whenever I see a tree,  I try to meditate a bit.


And of course, it will not be too easy.   I need to calm down.  I will try to observe my inner self in front of a tree.


My experience yesterday was very different.


I was standing in front of a big tree wondering.


Within a few minutes I found it is different from other times.   Something special is happening but I don't know why.


I saw lots of flies flying around one stretching branch of the tree.


And then I saw the carcass of a dead bird lying up there.


It was the bad smell drawing in the flies.    It was quite a horrible thing to see  that the golden and dark green spots of the flies  flying  around the spot on the branch.


Images are flying quickly in my mind.   I remember there was a a dry tree branch somewhere nearby.  I used it to push the carcass, it fell to the ground.



I have a bottle of glass cleaner in my car, I poured the whole bottle onto the carcass.  


But the flies were not afraid of the glass cleaner and they were still there. 


Two magpies suddenly appeared from somewhere, pecking at the remains of the dead bird.


 But the smell and the flies were still on the branch.


I used the withered dry twig to cover the spot with  an old sweater,  then the flies were gone.  I will come back in a few days to remove the sweater.


It was by then I found peace in my mind.


 It was nothing like a few minutes before.


 I looked at the tree,  I found the tree was also peaceful, seems to be happy. The sweater was swinging by the wind.


 Everything is fine now.


 It was such a wonderful experience,  I will remember it for a long time.


And then I'll come next week to see again,  and remove the sweater.


The inner tempo will be different by then.

Why I am not afraid?

 20250524

Why I am not afraid?





The following is my own personal experience. When I wish to explore the reason behind a fearless state of mind,  I could not stop thinking my personal experiences.


Seldom do people know about the feeling that when there are secret killers around trying to kill you.


You will not know who they are and where they are. 


Or you don't know what kind of killing devices they will use next time.


They had tried to run me down with cars.


They throw snakes on my back.


They put snakes beneath my seat.


The worst of all is that they put poison in my drink....a kind of soft poison which could bring diseases for me.


Why they are not killing me this time with a stronger poison?


Then I know that they are afraid.


There are a much stronger power behind them.


My mother, if she woke up from the tomb, will ask me:  Why don't you stay away from them?


But this is not a question from my own mind.


I have nowhere to go.  I can only stay here.  And the underground party is so strong.  They can kill me, but I cannot kill them.


Aren't you afraid?


No.


Why aren't you afraid?


I'm not even afraid of ghost.


Actually I had seen "ghosts" in an underground car park.


I went back to see,  trying to verify that the ghosts were still there or not.  


They never show up again.


It is all because of my own mindset.


I am not a materialist.


I believe that there is a will from the Unknown for the entire Universe.


And there is a role on my head.


And it is not special.


Everyone has a role on his head.


Can be a good mother,  a good soldier,  or a  good writer.


And my role is not a writer.


I am a thinker. 


I think and I imagine.


Sometimes I dream.


However, I need to write down what I think.


That is my role and I will not be afraid to do it.


What if you are dead?


Sure,  it is your problem not my problem.... if you see me as an obstruction of your way to hell.


When someone who can take every meal as his last supper: 


He will not be afraid.


For me:


每一頓飯都是最後的晚餐。

What is "fear"?

 20250523

What is "fear"?





" Fear" is a boundary of life.


" Fear" is a rule.


"Fear" is somewhere not allowed to go.


"Fear" is selfish.


"Fear" is not to interfer.


"Fear" is to mind your own business.


"Fear" is not to love.


Because to love means sacrifice.


There will be no love with a self-imposed boundary of fear.


Actually, it is not self-imposed.


It is from a dominating mind-set.


The mind-set is like a Wi-Fi of minds.


The minds cannot work without the links from the Wi-Fi of mind.


If one is feared, it might not be the fault of one alone.


Any one can release the burden of fear if one realize that minds are connected or controlled by the ancient doctrines of "fear".


Anyone can unlock it from their own mind.


There's a huge difference of the ancient and modern Chinese.


The so-called "modern Chinese" is the Chinese after the transformation of Confucius doctrines 2000 years ago.


They are two types of people,  their personalities are different.


Before, they were Don Quixotes. 


After,  they are Ah Qs.


Why there are still so many Don Quixotes nowadays?


Why they can challenge the windmill without fear?


Yes, it is the strange phenomenon of life. 


People will see their own weakness and correct them.


And it is called hope.


The Chinese ideal is like a yellow bird.


黃鶴一去不復返,白雲千載空悠悠。


When the yellow birds are gone,  only the white clouds are left to keep their emptiness.


But the yellow birds will come back.


They will come back in thousands and millions.


They will build a new country in a new world.


Chains belong to the feared only.

What is B.C.?

 20250522

What is B.C.?



B.C. stands for "Before Christ".

Its a term designed for the Western history.

In China,  history is read sometimes in the term  "Before Confucius". 

 I would wonder what is the difference between the B.C. in the West and the B.C. in China

I will put it as simple as it can be.

B.C. in China was a time when people do not know what is fear.

Fear was taught after Confucius.

B.C. in the West was a time when people did not know what is love.  Love was taught after Christ.

Israel is a nation where  Christ is denied.

The Gaza tragedy had told the world what was the status in the times of B.C.,  because it is vividly shown today.

And it is a puzzle for many:  how can minds be hardened like that?

Because we are not thinking with a single unit of one mind.

We all share the same mind to think.

It is more or less like a public Wi-Fi.  Without the connections, the single units of a mind simply cannot work.

One will not know when he is sitting comfortably without thinking,  love is actually non-existent in his Wi-Fi system of "mind".


And the Chinese is suffering more.

Now they have "fear" in mind,  they will not be the same as the ancient fearless people.

When they are running here and there without stopping,  they do not know,  they are in the cage of fear. They are running like a mouse inside the running-wheel fearing poverty from behind.

It is determined by the modern Wi-Fi of mind.
