Origin of the Universe
1. Introduction
Before many chemical elements were found, most of the chemists didn’t know how many chemical elements are there on the Earth and their relationship. Dmitri Mendeleev had already made the famous Periodic Table of the Chemical Element, calculated the atomic quantity of elements and showed us the relationship between them. The elements discovered later were all included in his Table.
The case has demonstrated everything in the Universe has the order and laws. Some people say the Universe is lawless and disorderly because they haven’t found the laws and order.
2. Origin of the Universe
All things within the time scope, including the celestial bodies and Universe, have their origin, the birth time and process of development. The beginning and ending time of the Universe, just as theπ and golden ratio, is mysterious and can’t be reached by our wisdom. Compared with the wisdom of the Greatest Creator, our wisdom is just like a drop in the sea. I would like to share my knowledge of the beginning of the Universe gained while my mind was in peace.
When I am seeking what things in the Universe are eternal, when I am thinking about the resurrection in the Bible, when I am meditating the “The life is like a dream and all the four elements (earth, water, fire and air of which the world is made) are void” in the Buddhist scripture, when I am trying to figure out the source of Tao in the Tao Te Ching, when I ask myself why I would go to the Mortal World, why we exist and where we are going, I have known the beginning process of the Universe. However, when I am delighted to think I have found the mystery of the Universe, I suddenly realize that this mystery of the Universe beginning was explained by the humans (the ancestors of dragon nation) 6,000 years ago. It is like a Mt. Everest climber, after reaching the peak after multiple difficulties, finds someone else has left his footprint on it. Thus, I am not bold enough to claim myself as the first one knowing the Universe beginning. I only wish to add some details based on the wisdom of the past talents.
The River Diagram, The Book of Changes and the Yellow Emperor’s Book of Internal Medicine have told us the process of the Universe beginning is : Wuji generates Taiji, Taiji generates two polarities, the two polarities produce the four directions, the four directions create the eight
3. Before the universe was Wuji.
What is the state of Wuji?
Wuji is the state of neither in nor out, neither big nor small, neither bound nor edge, neither null nor true, neither time nor space, neither material nor spirit. It is clear, chaos, everything and nothing.
The detailed explanation of the state can’t be completed even in a book containing 1 million words. I just want to stick to one point. According to the estimation of the paleontologists, the Earth was born about 4.5 billion years ago. Then where was the Earth before it was born? We can only conclude that it was in Wuji before it was born, just like the human beings. We were also in Wuji before we were born. Because the whole Universe was in Wuji before it was born, Wuji contains everything. But where is Wuji? A thing without time, space, material, spirit, inside, outside, large size, small size, border, edge, firmness or emptiness can only be described by the word “shapeless and visionary”. However, Wuji doesn’t mean it contains nothing. Instead, it contains everything. It has nothing and everything at the same time. That’s why The Diamond Sutra was profound and difficult to understand. For example:
“If Tathagata explains the laws, don’t believe it. The laws can’t be explained. If explained, they are not the laws or not the lawless.”
“The Buddhism is no Buddhism.”
“The name of Anagami is Bulai. But actually Bulai doesn’t exist. So Anagami is called Anagami.”
“The solemn Buddhist is not solemn. It is called the Solemn.”
“Tathagata says the world is not the world. So it is called the world.”
“I should eliminate all life. After doing that, I found no life has been eliminated.”
And so on.
If we don’t know the origin of the Universe, it is very difficult for us to understand the above “Buddha words”. If we can fully understand the above “Non Buddha words”, we will know the origin of the Universe.
Before everything was born, they were in Wuji. So Wuji means everything.
We wish to take an example from the mythical novel Journey to the West to imagine the space in Wuji.
Monk Tang and his apprentices entered the disguised monastery. The Monkey King was trapped in the gold cymbal by the demon head. So how big or how small was this gold cymbal? No matter how high or how low the Monkey King could transform himself, the cymbal could change too following him. The Wuji space before the Universe was born was in the state as the cymbal. It was extremely large and extremely small.
The space described in Einstein’s the General Theory of Relativity just refers to the space above mentioned. The size of the space is not decided by the energy. However, it is decided by the existence of matters. The more matters are transformed from the energy, the larger the space will be and vice versa. If there is no matter, there will no space. It’s the same as the relationship between the Monkey King and the gold cymbal. The space in the cymbal is decided by the size of the Monkey King transforms himself. The traditional science believes that the space is like a box and the material is a particle in the box. When the particle disappears, the space is still there. Nevertheless, the space is not like that. When the particle is not there, the space will disappear. The space is determined by the distribution of particles. The space will twist, swell, contract or even disappear as the material and its energy change the size.
How to understand the time in Wuji?
Time is generated by the movement of objects. There is no time without motion.
For example, a man is 40 years old because the cells in his body are splitting, moving and dying. If the cells were not moving or splitting, he would not have lived till 40. A piece of fresh meat will rot in a few days if placed open to the air in hot weather. However, if we put the meat in the fridge, it will not rot in months. Why? The meat in the fridge has slow even halting cell movement. When the cell movement slows down, the time of the meat is lengthened. And when the cell movement stops, the time of the meat disappears.
If a man is never born, does he still have time? If the Earth is not born, does the Earth have time? If the Universe is not born, does the Universe have time? No.
This is the time in Wuji.
The core of the quantum mechanics is the “uncertainty”. Why? The time does not lapse evenly. The time is changing. So how can you obtain the “certainty”?
That’s all about my explanation of Wuji.
4. Wuji Generates Taiji
What is the state of Taiji?
First, we have to know Taiji is generated from Wuji.
Wuji is nothing and everything. It is everything because the energy existence in it can produce the material world. It is nothing because the energy in it is not material. It is chaos without firmness or emptiness. It is like the sky. When the sky is clear, there is nothing in it. But when it is cloudy, we can see the clouds and lightings and hear the thunders. Then there is everything.
In Wuji, there is the intangible energy. The intangible energy (in contrast with the tangible energy) is moving irregularly. When the irregular movement, accidently on a point, formed a specific order or symbol, the entire Wuji has formed a potential power arrow called the “tornado” centered on this point.
This potential power arrow, or “tornado”, is just called Taiji. (Please note that the tornado is simply a momentum with only potential power. It does not have kinetic energy because it is not rotating.)
This is how Taiji is generated from Wuji.
Taiji is in such a state: it is the one, amorphous, the unity without opposites, and an extremely large energy cluster (It is just like a locked reservoir containing billions of billions of Pacific)
The Taiji is just the Greatest Creator in common sense.
In Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu said, “Chaos was born before there was the Earth and Heaven.” Before the Universe was born, “something” existed. This “something” is Taiji, the psychic energy of the Greatest Creator. Lao Tzu named this “something” as Tao because he confused the nature and psychic energy of the Greatest Creator.
After understanding what Wuji is, we can understand Buddha and Buddhism. After understanding Taiji, we can understand Tao and Taoism.
5. Taiji creates the Two Polarities
What are the two polarities?
It refers to the phenomenon of opposition.
For instance, in the state of Taiji, everything is the one and amorphous. But in the state of the “two polarities”, the intangible energy is shown up in a tangible form. The Sun, for example, is an energy cluster. It has been transformed from the intangible energy form in the state of Taiji into the tangible energy form. So the energy is classified into the tangible energy and intangible energy. “None” and “Existence” form the “two polarities”, namely, the unity of opposites.
The contents of the “two polarities” include: none and existence, firmness and emptiness, Yin and Yang, positive and negative, static and dynamic, left and right, up and down, exterior and interior, front and rear, high and low, noble and humble, hard and soft, big and small, strong and weak, dark and light, male and female, rich and poor, fortunate and unfortunate, gain and loss, merit and fault, more and less, life and death, true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugly, etc. They are the unities of opposites.
Everything in the Universe as we know is the demonstrations of the “two polarities”.
Then how are the “two polarities” were born out of the Taiji?
We have known that the irregular movement of energy in Wuji accidently formed a certain order. All the energy, in a short while, formed overwhelmingly an intangible potential energy. If the potential energy is not given out, it will only remain latent like a “paper-made tiger”. However, when all energies gather at the central point, the energy center has changed its nature, just like the water will evaporate when heated to a certain degree. At this time, the energy center, or the nucleus, is no long a kind of energy. Instead, it has become a special structure surrounded by great energies. When this structure is complete, the Consciousness comes into being. It is just like a fertilized egg without Consciousness. When it keeps absorbing energy in its mother’s uterus and improves its structure, a conscious animal (human) will be born.
The gathering of mammoth energies has led to the alienation of the energy center, resulting in a structure. The constant improvement of the structure ended up with the emergence of the Consciousness, which is the symbol of life birth. The Consciousness gathering all energies then started the process of creating the Universe. And it is the Greatest Creator.
After the Greatest Creator is born, the energy in the Taiji began to move around the Greatest Creator’s Consciousness. We can also say that all energies move around the structure of the energy center. Just like a human body, when your consciousness tells you to urinate, the bladder door is open and the urine goes out. When you want to look at the sky, your head will be raised and your eyes opened automatically. When you want to have intercourse, your penis is erected.
After the Greatest Creator is born, the “two polarities” come into being, the celestial bodies show up, the celestial movement begins, the unlimited space is born, the time starts and everything gets into the movement cycle of life and death.
6. The “Two Polarities” create the “Four Directions”
The “two polarities” have brought about the “four directions”. There is south, north, east and west. There is front, rear, left and right. There is life, growth, decline and death. There is quadrant 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the function image.
7. The “Four Directions” create the “Eight Trigrams”
Because there is south, north, east and west, there are now 8 directions including the east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north and northeast. The eight directions are called Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun respectively, forming the 8 trigrams. Each direction has its special meaning. Each direction has its different chance changes. Let’s take a person as an example. If he remains healthy in the south, he might find it difficult to get accustomed to the north. If nothing goes smooth in the east, he may achieve success in the west and the ugly duckling might become the white swan. Even grass will have different growth model and blossoming timing in different directions and locations.
8. The Permutation and Combination of the 8 Trigrams (Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun) Produce the 64 Trigrams
The 64 trigrams are corresponding to the 64 factors in the Universe. But as to the details of these 64 factors, because they are related to all the mysteries in the Universe and hidden to the common people, even the King Wen of Zhou in the Canonization of the Gods didn’t know all of them. And the most achieved Taoists in China only knew a few of the factors. Sakyamuni masters half of them and Jesus only knows a few more than Sakyamuni does.
We often hear people say “No disclosure of the Heaven secrets”. The heaven secrets are just hidden in the 64 trigrams. The permutation and combination of the 64 trigrams have caused the birth and death of all things in the Universe. The things that you can’t imagine are just the combination of 2 factors. The power of Jesus lies in his mastery of the formula of these factors.
The birth and death of all things, the limitless mysteries and all changes and movements in the Universe are hidden in the permutation and combination (formula) of these 64 trigrams. “No coming, no going, the time-space ends and origin shows up.”
This is the brief process of the birth of the universe.

ivy Small compared to the world's population, I'm sure. But I view this as a positive thing because that's how a niche is developed and groups are formed with common interests which ties people together. Such groups are better small I think anyway. Bonds work better in a small close knit community. Yes. He's omnipresent biblically so always present whether youre in church or not. So Tao just takes the message spread by religious figures like Jesus, Muhammad, etc. I thought it was a name to a god or something ,, that church remark was funny ... yes lotta ppl go to church, mosque , temples . my 2 colleagues pray 5 times a day .. shrug yes having a preacher attached to it is the only thing concerning , as we are taking the word of preacher nor God but lotta things make sense in sense in Taoism. just as lotta things make sense in other religious books as well .. its the foundation and underlying belief that is questionable. Shinto a Japanese belief doesn't have a preacher but it got tons of gods, .. Deism the ideology doesn't have it it too.. but it renders God to remote and non influential that i dont abide by it fully . so still exploring and living a kind and life full of love .. u want some Love Eli ? How do all those gods communicate to people though and how do they keep it spread to people if no preacher?

It's in the nature, mathematics and other stuff she wrote. You teach maths for crying out loud. Preachers could well be those who excelled intellectually more than an ordinary man, simple. He may even get messages from Lord through omens which is disputbale, although I agree, They brought forward the knowledge as how they examined life, but taking a literal meaning out of it like being on a phone with God is non sense. Yoo God, Moses here,, would be nice of you to part the God dawn River yaa know, Peace out. God: Yoo my man, H20 not gonna be a problem o

But my point is you can think many things with nature Shrug It's more closely associated with disecting how nature functions, not that Mr tree is telling u something or etc..through disecting, God reveal his ways. Rise of the sun, rise of the moon. Rise of the sun can be interpreted as good and bad times in life, that ever keeps flowing. If u want to disect it literally physics has done it.

[/quote]its good to have religious beliefs only those that promote morality not the ridiculous notions. Yes Deism does resonate Agree with what u explained especially the following The Greatest Creator has never talked with the human beings directly. The word of the Greatest Creator are hidden in the laws of the nature. to be specific, the Greatest Creator’s “speeches” are the equations in the physics, the molecular formula in the chemistry, the formula in the math, the structural formula in the biology and the cause-effect formula in the life science.[/quote] You get me many questions. In fact, you can find answers in Lifechanyuan Corpus for most questions. You can read from below website or you can send me you mail address. www.lifechanyuan.org -------------------------------------- The Kingdom of The Greatest Creator has Come! The Paradise Home for New Era Human Beings - Lifechanyuan - An unprecedented golden paradisiacal era is coming! · Be free from the worries of survival; even life and death. · Be free from the bondage of marriage and precepts; in the Xanadu, everything will be peaceful and harmonious. · Enjoy your favorite job without being managed or supervised and share all our resources. · Daily supplies will be abundant, everyone will have pure and beautiful souls, and people will love each other as relatives in a family. · Enjoy affectionate and romantic love by following your predestined relations. · Lead a pure and free life in which close friends and relatives join in your quest to climb toward heaven. · Dance, sing, and play games. · Show your original nature with joy and happiness every day. On New Years day of 2018, humanity entered a new era - The Millennium! This new home for humanity - the New Oasis for Life - is the kingdom of the Greatest Creator that befell the human world. It is a new mode of production and life for people created by Deiform Buddha of Lifechanyuan. Deiform Buddha is the messenger of the greatest creator of the universe and the incarnation of gods, Buddha, celestial beings, and saints, and the angel who has come to reap the “ripe crops”. He is the great spiritual guide of mankind, born in northwest China, whose mission is to preach the Greatest Creator and the way of the Greatest Creator, and to reap the ripe crops,to lead humanity into the new, free, and happy millennium in which “All thoughts and beliefs will be unified into the Greatest Creator's will” and “The whole world will be one family”. Deiform Buddha founded Lifechanyuan and created Chanyuan Corpus and Xuefeng Corpus to reveal the truth of LIFE in the universe and to complement the systematic understanding of the Greatest Creator, Tao, the universe, LIFE, heaven, self-improvement and self-cultivation, humanity, and human life; to integrate faith with science, show the true beauty of the kingdom of heaven and set a path to reach it, compile the essence of humanity’s wisdom into "800 Values for New Era Human Beings", show the path of development for human beings and individuals and reap the ripe crops - Chanyuan celestials - and lead them toward creating and establishing this new production and life mode successfully. Lifechanyuan is not a religion or organization, but a beautiful home for the spirits and souls of new era humans. It is the pure land for those who share the same frequency of sincerity, kindness, beauty, and love, and it is not only the teachings inherited from Jesus Christ and Buddha Sakyamuni, but also the final course of humans. Never since the great flood has the development of human civilization reached a new purification cycle such as this. The long-term destructive development of mankind has caused great sin and evil and is leading, step-by-step, to more and more serious tribulations taking place, but a great purification of souls is also taking place simultaneously. In a decade or so, consciousnesses which are not suitable for this new era will be eliminated, and then people’s traditional production and life modes will be replaced by a new model, and a new civilization era like heaven will begin. Lifechanyuan is the Noah's Ark for New Era humans. When you come to the home of Lifechanyuan, you will see a brand-new vision of LIFE, your soul will be purified, and your spirit will sublimate; you will have many close friends and dear relatives to share the same resonance of soul, and you will lead a free, sweet, and pure life in the new home. At the end of your journey through the mortal world, your LIFE will be guided into the kingdom of heaven - the Thousand-year World, the Ten-thousand-year World, or the Celestial Islands Continent, to enjoy thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even an eternity of the pleasures of LIFE. The kingdom of the Greatest Creator has come, the ark of LIFE is sailing, and an unprecedented great change in civilization is taking place. Relatives with ripe spirituality, please listen to this call from your soul: a chilly winter is coming, so come and board the ship quickly to your long-awaited home in paradise.

How do all those gods communicate to people though and how do they keep it spread to people if no preacher? We are one. If you know Cosmic Holography, you know gods communicate with minds. That is why people get information when meditation. God and saints preach to people also with words, like Xuefeng's book, Lifechanyuan corpus, Lao tsue's Tao te Ching, and the bible etc.

Thanks for sharing. It is good to have some religious belief, but to join in any organization, we are selling our freedom out. When we are thankful, we think of God instead of a pastor. Do people go to church every week? I don't think so. Revere God is in one's mind. whether religion will die off or not, let's walk and see. The Greatest Creator has never talked with the human beings directly. The word of the Greatest Creator are hidden in the laws of the nature. In a word, the word of the Greatest Creator is the Tao. To be specific, the Greatest Creator’s “speeches” are the equations in the physics, the molecular formula in the chemistry, the formula in the math, the structural formula in the biology and the cause-effect formula in the life science.----by Xunfen I heard of Deism before, but havn't paid attention to it. I think, you are rather resonat with Lifechanyuan values, we take the way of the Greatest Creator. Tao is the will of the Great Creator. I will post more about Tao. -------------- The Will of the Greatest Creator is Reflected in the Laws and Rules of Nature Xuefeng ok after reading through your post it rang bell of Taoism and i did some research on it recently ..its more of a philosophy rather than a religion .. quite frankly i like it .. i like the fact u still praise the God nor Lzu Tao .. as some religious ppl will go nuts on some priests and saints instead of God. I have few things to share with u and would like to have your perspective on that : Is there a reason u choose the wording greatest creator instead of GOD ? what about the power corrupts , such as people in politics and those who have done mass wrong doings and are enjoying life .. why the greatest creator doesn't punish them ? continuing from the point above .. should we presume that every unfortunate event in our life is a punishment that we are serving .. rather than accepting that life does tend throw a mix of everything at us .. i am referring to the factors outside of human control .. not things like on which we have direct influence e.g if we rob a bank and get caught by police , that was called for . Do u concur with the idea that if we conduct our life with as much as close approximation to the ways of universe our transmigration would be in a better state than our current life? i concur that ultimate Tao cannot be achieved by active pursuit and thats the biggest misery amongst religious ppl today .. they are misdirected .. To conduct yourself with laws of nature and universe would appear an ambiguous term for the untrained mind . i do get the idea as to what u mean .. but would appreciate if u could comprehend it further in details and break it down kindly Is there a reason u choose the wording greatest creator instead of GOD ? ----The Greatest Creator is the only, but there are many gods. Jesus and Satan are two of the biggest. So, in lifechanyuan, to differentiate the Greatest Creator and his sons, Xuefeng use the words the Greatest Creator. The full name is Allah - Ancestor of Buddha, Jehovah, the Greatest Creator. what about the power corrupts , such as people in politics and those who have done mass wrong doings and are enjoying life .. why the greatest creator doesn't punish them ? ------If you know why there is transmigration of life, for fairness. All are in the Tao of the Greatest Creator. They are not punished, because the time is not due. Please refer to below. -------------- The Program is Running Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong and Edited by Kaer) There is a saying, “Fishes are in the water, and humans are in the Tao”. All things in the universe are running in the Tao. If we have difficulty understanding the“elusive” Tao, let me make it simple, we can also call it “program”. So the above saying could be, “Fishes are in the water and humans are in the program.” And all things in the universe are running in the program. What is program? In Chinese, program is "程序", "程" means the rule, law, pattern, and equation; "序" means sequence and order. Program (程序) means the order of formation, development, change, and evolution of a thing according to established rules. The computer we use is the best example of program. We can somehow say that a computer is a program. To use a computer, we need to follow programs; whoever is good at programming is a computer expert. “Hackers” are computer experts who can break, interrupt, and change computer programs. Computer programs are designed by human beings, while the program of the universe is designed by the Greatest Creator. The seasonal order of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter in some areas of the earth is a program. The order of seasons is strictly changing according to the program. Spring comes after Winter, and Winter comes after Autumn; they have been in that order for thousands of years. The process of a human body changes in the order of a fetus, baby, toddler, child, teenager, adult, and senior is also an established program. Human beings have to go through this process, which is out of their control. The germination, growth, flowering, fruiting, and withering of a plant is also a program. The law of causality, “Reap what you sow”, is also an established program. You will not reap banana if you sow melon, and you will not reap cherry if you sow bean; “what goes around comes around”. The treacherous are cheated by the treacherous, and the honest are appreciated by the honest. If you pursue Buddhahood you attain Buddhahood, and if you admire the beast you acquire the nature of the beast. If you do not give freedom to others, you will not get freedom yourself. If you want to control others, you will be controlled. Furtiveness and deceit will make you a ghost and lead you to hell, while integrity and good merits will make you a celestial and lead you to heaven. This is also a program. When a man reaches a certain age, facial, armpit, and pubic hair start to grow. When a woman reaches a certain age, she starts to have menses. When a child is born, the mother begins to lactate. When a woman reaches menopause, she starts to have fewer and fewer menses until they stop. It is a biological program. The traditional family is also a program, when one gets married, he or she has to live according to the family program which is beyond their control. Countries are programs. When one becomes a citizen of a country, he or she must involuntarily follow the country’s program. If there is no external force, things will run around and around according to the rules of the program. LIFE will reincarnate according to the set program. To avoid constraints of the program, there must be an external force, without which the development of things will not change the track. It is just like a man is not able to make his feet leave the ground by dragging his hair. The external force is not necessarily a mechanical force. An accident, a phenomenon, a book, a story, and a sentence, even an insect, a hairstyle, a blade of grass, or an action could become the force. As long as it is able to change the existing program, no matter how small the changes are, it is an external force. The teachings of Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, Prophet Muhammad, and Confucius are very strong external forces. How many programs are there in the universe? There are numerous. There is the program governing the movements of planets, the program of society’s development, and the program of LIFE changes. Each space has its own program. Each plant and animal has their own growing program. There are master programs and subprograms; there are long-term programs, short-term programs, etc. Programs are very rigorous, while they are also layered and closely related, they are causes and effects, and are flexible to change. The master program is normally unchangeable, while subprograms are changeable. For example, it is difficult to change the master program of birth, growth, aging, and death of a human, while things like short-term depression can be changed by external forces such as inspiring words or actions. The change of the master program of how hair grows is very difficult, but the hairstyle can be changed easily. The master program of the nature of LIFE is almost impossible to change, but the direction of LIFE can be changed. “You can not touch a pitch and not be mucked”. Without the external force, the track of life will not change; life follows its trail. Once there is an external force, the track of life changes. “A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth ten years of studying books”. “One takes the way of saints when influenced by a saint, and one takes the way of robbers when influenced by a robber”. “A butcher becomes a Buddha the moment he drops his cleaver”. A thought and an idea can change one’s destiny. Whichever direction you choose at an intersection without a sign, the corresponding program starts to work. For example, at the intersection of four roads, the first road leads to hell, the second to the human world, the third to the Buddha world, and the fourth to the celestial world. Where there is no road sign, our choice activates the corresponding program and it will lead us to a destination unless we change the route midway. All programs are predefined, but human beings can transfer from one program to another. When a man exits one program, he enters another. It is impossible to enter an area that is not within a program. Human beings can only enter twelve programs, and the best and most free life program is the program of the Elysium world. When one LIFE possesses the consciousness of a human being, he lives in the program of the human world and will therefore be constrained by the limits of the program. Once a LIFE possesses the consciousness of a celestial being, his living program starts to slowly transfer to the program of the Elysium world, which means he has changed his life track. All programs are already designed and many of them are hidden programs. Once conditions are met, any incident will activate the program. It is just like a land mine, it explodes when you step on it, but as long as it is not touched, it will remain hidden underground. It is also like drinking potassium cyanide: you will immediately feel terrible in your organs, foam at the mouth, and quickly bleed to death. When conditions are not ripe, the program will not activate. When the temperature is not warm enough, mosquitoes and flies will not revive and fly. When Yin and Yang do not meet each other, lighting and thunder will not fill the sky. Without proper humidity and temperature, seeds will not germinate. Before one has reached a certain stage of self-cultivation, he or she will not transform into a celestial being. One cannot enter into an oasis if he or she has not walked out from a desert. One cannot enter a new program if he or she does not leave the traditional family. One cannot enter heaven if he or she does not walk out of the human world. In short, these are predefined programs. When a program is activated, do not worry for it will run automatically. It is just as a female egg will grow automatically once it is fertilized. We feed a child every day so he will grow as well. In spring, if we spread seeds in the land, they will automatically germinate, flower, and fruit. It is the result as well as the power of the program. As long as we plant seeds, there will be fruits. This is how the program works. However, we must wait for the fruit to become ripe. We can get some fruits very quickly, while we need to wait more time to get others. And for some seeds,we need to wait a very long time to get their fruits. “Peach fruits in three years and apricot in four years, while we need to wait eighteen years to be able to enjoy the fruit of walnuts”. Anxiety does no good. “As a man sows, so he shall reap”. “We do not see the fruit, not because it is barren, but we shall see it when the time is right”. By observing the current situation of humans in the society, we can know their past. By observing their current behaviours, we can forecast their future. If we do not see anything happen in five years, wait for another five years, and if still nothing happens, wait for a hundred years. In a word, “What goes around comes around”; this is because the program is running and is not fortune telling. We must trust programs and trust that as long as we give, we gain. We need to give first in order to gain. If we give others love, then we will gain a beautiful life, future, or something else. If we cheat others, or take a bribe of $100,000, we get many temporary benefits, but in the future, we might need to pay the price of a limb, face a calamity, or reincarnate to an animal to pay our debts. Therefore, any behaviour that tries to take advantage of others is foolish, cheating and lying is stupid, and being opportunistic is short-sighted. “Throw a long line to catch a big fish”. Being diligent on self-cultivation, it is possible to achieve the LIFE level of a celestial being. Do not care that you get a return when you are committed to something, just make your contribution wholeheartedly and ask not for gain. As long as you give, you will gain. This is because the program is running.

Thanks for sharing. It is good to have some religious belief, but to join in any organization, we are selling our freedom out. When we are thankful, we think of God instead of a pastor. Do people go to church every week? I don't think so. Revere God is in one's mind. whether religion will die off or not, let's walk and see. The Greatest Creator has never talked with the human beings directly. The word of the Greatest Creator are hidden in the laws of the nature. In a word, the word of the Greatest Creator is the Tao. To be specific, the Greatest Creator’s “speeches” are the equations in the physics, the molecular formula in the chemistry, the formula in the math, the structural formula in the biology and the cause-effect formula in the life science.----by Xunfen I heard of Deism before, but havn't paid attention to it. I think, you are rather resonat with Lifechanyuan values, we take the way of the Greatest Creator. Tao is the will of the Great Creator. I will post more about Tao. -------------- The Will of the Greatest Creator is Reflected in the Laws and Rules of Nature ok after reading through your post it rang bell of Taoism and i did some research on it recently ..its more of a philosophy rather than a religion .. quite frankly i like it .. i like the fact u still praise the God nor Lzu Tao .. as some religious ppl will go nuts on some priests and saints instead of God. I have few things to share with u and would like to have your perspective on that : Is there a reason u choose the wording greatest creator instead of GOD ? what about the power corrupts , such as people in politics and those who have done mass wrong doings and are enjoying life .. why the greatest creator doesn't punish them ? continuing from the point above .. should we presume that every unfortunate event in our life is a punishment that we are serving .. rather than accepting that life does tend throw a mix of everything at us .. i am referring to the factors outside of human control .. not things like on which we have direct influence e.g if we rob a bank and get caught by police , that was called for . Do u concur with the idea that if we conduct our life with as much as close approximation to the ways of universe our transmigration would be in a better state than our current life? i concur that ultimate Tao cannot be achieved by active pursuit and thats the biggest misery amongst religious ppl today .. they are misdirected .. To conduct yourself with laws of nature and universe would appear an ambiguous term for the untrained mind . i do get the idea as to what u mean .. but would appreciate if u could comprehend it further in details and break it down kindly continuing from the point above .. should we presume that every unfortunate event in our life is a punishment that we are serving .. rather than accepting that life does tend throw a mix of everything at us .. i am referring to the factors outside of human control .. not things like on which we have direct influence e.g if we rob a bank and get caught by police , that was called for . ----Yes, we called for it. You can understand it from below. --------------- The Secret and Truth of Predestination Xuefeng (Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer) Preface “Brushing against shoulders in this life is the result of the five-hundred (500) times of looking back in the previous Lives; to ride in the same boat is the result of a hundred years of cultivation; to sleep on the same pillow is the result of millennia of cultivation.” "Knowing I am not destined to enter her heart, how can I compare with the catkins and swallows?” "Flowers bloom and wither; tides rise and fall; Spring awakens the branches; running water is heartless but the grass welcomes it every year; people may have sorrow or joy and be near or far apart, but the moon will still wax and wane.” "Born of these scenes, can the word ‘sorrow’ suffice?” "Dynasties fall but mountains and rivers remain, so how many times can we see the beautiful sunset?” “The events of our world are like games of chess, each game is only new because it is destined to be so.” “In a Life, people endure hardships and twists and turns in the mortal world and repeat samsara.” “Some people are designated to meet from thousands of miles apart but not to know their next-door neighbors.” All these are predestination; all things are predestined. Definition of Predestination: Predestination is the cause of generating, sustaining, destroying, and changing of all forms and all things, and is the cause of all events. It is the bridge and the tie which causes sorrow and joy to be near or far away. It is the factor which decides the development of matter and the origins of desires, words, and deeds connected to other things in the universe which are bound to happen in the future since beginningless time. It is a kind of debt after receiving others’ services or graces which have not been paid back timely. It is the set of revenge; wrong with wrong. Several Cases of Predestination: 1.614 years ago, Emperor Chengzu of Ming, King of Yan, Zhu Di killed 873 members of the nine tribes of the Fang Xiaoru clan, yet he still could not vent his anger and counted Fang Xiaoru’s students as one clan and killed them all. Many people perished! Why did that happen? What was its cause? It turned out that Fang Xiaoru's father had selected a cemetery plot. At night, he dreamed that the Red Snake King was sticking his red tongue out and requesting earnestly that he delay the groundbreaking for one or two days so that his family could move away. The next day, the Fang family dug the earth and built their tomb as scheduled. Soon, the workers exclaimed, "We have found a red snake pit!” Countless red snakes slithered and fled in panic. Fang Xiaoru's father ordered them to kill all the red snakes with fire and knives. That night, the bleeding Red Snake King cursed him in a dream: “I will kill as many of you as you killed of us!” Shortly thereafter, the Fang family gave birth to a baby son, Fang Xiaoru. Born into a scholarly family, he was very smart and diligent as a boy. He was eloquent and charming in appearance - and his tongue was red! He was the reincarnation of the Red Snake King. He deliberately resisted an imperial edict from King Yan in order to enrage him and fulfill that curse by implicating his nine tribes. After killing all 873 members of the Fang clan, the number still could not match the number of the red snakes killed on that day so very long ago! Fang Xiaoru deliberately provoked King Yan again, "Even ten tribes, so what!”. The king then had all of Fang Xiaoru’s students put to death and the Red Snake King finally got his revenge! 2.In the ancient times, there was a prince who was very handsome, intelligent, and well-educated, and whose closest friend was a young man of equally excellent and outstanding virtues. Like knows like! The two would discuss state strategies, compose poems and couplets, and toast the moon together. They discussed everything under heaven and were very intimate. One day, they went out for fun and met a girl who was unspeakably beautiful, cultured and decent, well-versed in lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, a matchless stunning beauty throughout the whole country. After a period of time, both the prince and the young man confessed their love to the girl, but in the end she chose the common young man rather than the prince. The prince fell into an abysses of depression and pain and went to see the most accomplished and eminent monk to ask him why this happened. The monk resorted to magic and presented the following view to the prince. On a beach, a beautiful naked woman laid motionless. A man came to the seaside and saw her. He approached her and placed his hand to her nose. Evidently, the woman was dead. He turned and walked away. A moment later, a second man arrived. He also saw the woman, and as the man before him had done, he examined to see whether she was alive, but she was indeed dead. He then removed his jacket, covered the woman, and went away. After a while, a third man came. After observing, he too realized that the woman was dead. He stopped and carried her on his back until he found a place at the beach to bury her. He also made a mark for her grave! The eminent monk then said, the woman who you both love is the woman who died on the beach. The man who took his jacket off and covered her was you in a previous life and she needed to repay your favor for a period of time in this one, but the man who buried her was your best friend and she needed to return his favor for the rest of her life. 3.In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a man from Anhui named Hu Mingxun. One day, his knees were attacked by impetigo and he suffered a biting pain. As time went on, the impetigo grew worse as a person's face, with eyebrows, eyes, a nose, and a mouth appeared on it. Hu Mingxun turned to one hundred and thirty (130) physicians who not only could not heal him, but actually made it much worse. On December 7, 1651, in a dreamy state, Hu Mingxun faintly heard a voice coming from the impetigo on his knees: "I am Lu Zhaorong from the Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties (906-923). You killed me in the Luoyang Palace. Today I come to take revenge. How can physicians cure you? Confess your sins to Buddha and perhaps you will be remedied.” After Hu Mingxun woke from the dream, he stopped seeking physicians for help and swore to confess and to copy the Buddhist Sutras. At first, he could stand up with the support of a cane, then he could stand and walk. Eventually he healed without taking any medicine. After more than 700 years, the soul was still looking for his enemy for retaliation. 4.In the time of Buddha Sakyamuni, an elderly man wanted to be a monk. It is important for a monk to have good spiritual roots, so Sakyamuni asked his arhats (disciples) to see if this person had good ones to decide whether he could be a monk. All the arhats shook their heads after seeing this man and agreed, “no good roots”! Arhats could only see five hundred (500) cycles of life and found that he had never had any relationship with Buddha during those five hundred cycles, so he did not have good roots. Sakyamuni then examined the man and proclaimed, “In the beginningless time, he was a woodcutter. He came across a tiger in the mountain and was so scared that he climbed up a tree and cried out, ‘Namo Buddha’”. From his cry of “Namo Buddha”, today his good roots appeared. Sakyamuni ordained him, and he later rose to become an arhat himself. 5.In the Shu Kingdom, there was a bully named Guo Jingzhang. One day, he was drunk and hit a poor man, Zhao An with a wine pot. The mouth of the pot smashed his head and killed him immediately. Guo Jingzhang gave Zhao An’s son a lot of money to help conceal the matter from the law. Soon afterward, Guo Jingzhang’s head grew a sore about three to four centimeters deep like the one where the pot had hit Zhao An. His bone was exposed, he bled and discharged a constant stream of pus, and he could occasionally see Zhao An’s face in it. The sore eventually penetrated into his throat and killed him. 6.A scholar in the Yuan Dynasty was seriously harmed by a friend. That night, he became enraged and determined to kill the man. He passed a temple on the way to his former friend’s house, where an eminent monk stood at the gate. From his deva eyes, the monk saw that the scholar was tailed by a vicious demon. As the scholar arrived at the door of his intended victim’s house, an idea struck him: he has turned from being my friend to my enemy, but his mother and wife did me no harm. If I kill him, they will both lose their means of life. After several rounds of inner struggling, he decided to forgive the man, forget the idea of killing him, and go away. On his way back, he passed the same temple where the same monk was still standing at the gate, but this time the monk’s deva eyes saw a completely different scene. The vicious demon which had tailed the scholar was gone and he was escorted by angels above his head. The monk told the scholar what he had seen and asked him what happened. The scholar told his story truthfully and the monk exclaimed that the demon and the gods were moved by just a thought! The idea of tolerance changed the scholar’s fate. He later became an official and the friend who had betrayed him died on a battlefield. 7.In a mountain village in Damiao Township in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, there lived a villager named Li Cheng. Li Cheng’s grandmother had a relative named Zhang Qing who used to carry and sell fabrics for the Li family but whose own family was very poor because he lost in everything he did throughout his life and his family had been supported by Li Cheng until Zhang Qing died. Li Cheng even paid to have him buried. About one month afterward, Li Cheng was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when he suddenly heard someone calling his name: “Li Cheng, Li Cheng, I am Zhang Qing, I am coming to pay my debt back to you.“Li Cheng found it strange after he woke up three times in a row from his sleep. Just then, the house manager came to tell him, “Master, the big horse just gave birth to a colt”. They knew that the colt was Zhang Qing reincarnated and named him that. Several years later, Li Cheng pulled a cart to Beisi Jiazi and stayed in a postal station there. The next day, the local area was having a fair. In the morning the horse went to the fair alone and stamped the earthen pots and utensils of a street vendor, leaving only five big basins intact. The vendor was very angry and he gripped the horse to find justice. Li Cheng was informed that his horse had made trouble for him and went to the fair to apologize and promised to compensate the vendor for his losses. Li Cheng yelled, “Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, what is wrong with you today?”. The vendor wondered why the horse was named Zhang Qing. Li Cheng told him about Zhang Qing's home and his reincarnation into the horse. The vendor said, “I knew Zhang Qing. I bought some fabrics while he was alive and I still owe him money”. He then calculated his losses from the daily wares and the value was exactly what he owed to Zhang Qing, so the balance was even. They all understood why the five big basins were left untouched. 8.Yuan Liao Fan, the author of “The Four Lessons of Liao Fan” in the sixteenth century was from Jiashan, Zhejiang. When he was young, a fortune teller predicted the good and bad fortunes to come in his life, including his rankings in the imperial examinations, his official titles, that he would not father a son, and when he would die. Later, many things were fulfilled accurately just as the fortune teller had predicted. Every day he became increasingly idle, knowing that his fate was predestined and that everything would come along automatically. Then he met Zen Master Yungu who told him, "Fate is created by the self and blessings are sought after by the self.” "Search it, keep the Way; attain it keeping with destiny.” He began to understand that fate could be changed and became determined to amend his faults. He became tolerant of others’ wrong doings to him and committed to doing good with the greatest determination and perseverance. Surely enough, the original predictions lost accuracy after he decided to change his fate. Not only was he promoted to higher offices, but he also fathered four sons and survived a full sixteen (16) years longer than had been predicted. The EightDescriptions of Predestination: 1.A tie will not end until the debt is paid: Once a tie is formed, only its resolution can dismiss it, and with that, it shall end. 2.Love and hate determine the depths of ties: Some ties are very shallow while others are very deep. The depth of a tie is decided by the degree of love and hate associated with it. The stronger the degree of love or hate, the deeper the tie is; the weaker they are, the shallower it is. 3.The short or long of the tie is determined by debts: Ties are essentially debt relationships. Debt relationships are not related to the amount of the debts as much as to the length of time involved. As long as there is owing, the tie is long. Once the debt is settled, the tie will end. 4.Mortals create ties but Tao ends them: Both good and bad ties are created by mortals. Once a tie is created, it is controlled by the reward and punishment program of Tao and will eventually befall the person who created it. This is the so-called, "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil; if it is not repaid now, that is because the time has not yet come; once the time comes, it will surely be repaid”. 5.With neither shape nor form, but with shadows and traces: We can neither see nor touch a tie. It is a kind of non-material existence. It is like a time bomb. We do not know when it will explode: perhaps in a couple of hours, or perhaps not for hundreds or thousands of years, but ties have shadows and traces. If we open Buddha eyes to trace them, we can find their origins. 6.The beginning and ending of a tie is but a thought: Once you get a tie, you will have to dismiss it in order to keep it from falling on you and if you want to eliminate a part of the tie, you will have to do good, especially a hidden good, or formless alms giving. "Do evil not to a single thing and do good to all things.” "Repentance, praying, giving alms, and selfless dedication are the best ways to eliminate ties, especially an evil tie on the half way. 7.Things arrive when ties arrive and things disappear when ties end: All coincidences and emergency events arise due to ties. The tie makes the meeting. When the tie ends, that is, when the equivalent debts are paid, the event will naturally end. When the tie ends, things will part. 8.Beginning or ending a tie depends on perception: Human life is a process of tying and untying; everything is tied. “Ties are the sea and we are the fish swimming in it.” Ties are like invisible, densely woven meshes over which people walk. "Divine punishments are slow but sure, with big meshes yet letting nothing slip through.” This “divine mesh” is the tie controlled by Tao. If people do not perceive this, then they cannot escape the "divine mesh", and as a result they will rise and fall in the sea of ties and reincarnate until they do. This is how ties form and how they end. The Eight Best Ways to End Worldly Ties and Form a Celestial Tie: 1.Praying and repenting, formless alms giving: Praying and repenting in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ, attaining the Great Vehicle, and making formless alms giving according to Buddha Sakamuni’s teaching are the ways to end all the evil ties, repay all the debts since the beginningless time, accumulate treasures in heaven, and go directly to the Elysium world - the Kingdom of the Greatest Creator. 2.Associating with others by following predestined relationships, swallowing humiliation and bearing heavy loads: The ties that we formed since beginningless time will come in succession. To this end, we need to associate with others by following our predestined relationships and resolve them in succession. "Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the left one”, because it is the result of an ill tie. If you do not allow them to smite you, then the ill tie will not end, but will recur in another form in the future. If others scold you, bully you, insult you, or trample upon you, be they relatives, friends, or strangers, then you must accept it with delight and with neither anger nor resentment. "Pray for and bless your enemy.” 3."Doing evil not to a single thing; doing good to all things”: Regardless of what dilemma or situation you find yourself in, you should have only good thoughts, good words, good expressions, and good deeds; never evil ones. Just praise all others and speak not one bad word against any others. However you speak, it must be active, positive, and optimistic; never passive, negative, or pessimistic. Try your best to bring happiness and joy to people rather than distress and sadness. You should not only treat people this way, but all LIFE and all nature. 4.Always giving; never taking: The guiding principle of the universe is that the sum of positive and negative energy is always zero; losses and gains are always equal; what one gains and loses always balance out. If you lose, you will certainly gain; if you gain, you will certainly lose, so never think that someone owes you, but remind yourself what you owe others. If others bully us, it is because we owe them and it is time to pay them back; if others owe us, be it emotional debt or financial debt, do not ask for it, because it will be returned in one way or another: perhaps in this life; perhaps in the afterlife; perhaps from the head; perhaps from the toe. All in all, the law of the sum of negative and positive energy always is zero will work. We just give and leave the taking to Tao. 5.Being apart from the mortal world and avoiding mundane entanglements: Living in the mortal world is to inevitably contact a variety of mortals and laities, but remember that in no case must you ever take advantage of others, not even those closest to you: your parents, children, husband, or wife. In all the universe - heaven and earth - there are no advantages to be had. Whatever advantages you think you have taken are harmful because you will bear losses to balance them out. especially when you are dealing with ignorant persons, laities, mortals, sages, let alone the public."If you take gains from beasts and birds, then your nature will be harmed; if you crave gains from people, then you will bear losses from the Tao of heaven.” The hard truth is that if you are not corrupt,do not take advantages nor owe debts,then you are staying away from the mortal world and are free from the ties of mundane entanglements. One particularly important thing is that love and sex must always be completely consensual from both sides and totally free from luring or forcing, or such a mundane entanglement will be as difficult to end as cotton or silk. 6.Pursuing Celestial beings and worshiping Buddha builds good ties: Celestial beings are in the celestial world; Buddha is in the Buddhist world. Both are good places to be! Building relationships with Celestial beings and Buddha gives you hope to exit from samsara and go straight to the realm of freedom. The actual manifestation of spiritual wisdom is giving advantages and benefits to all LIFE in the lower-levelLIFE space and owing them nothing, building relationships with LIFE of the higher-level LIFE space, emulating Celestial beings, and worshiping Buddha whenever and wherever you see them. It is always best to have Celestial being or Buddha owe something to you. 7.Forgiving the wrong and severing its attraction: We should forgive all those who have ever harmed our LIFE since the beginningless time and stop asking them to repay us. This is the way to completely sever our ties with them and develop no new ones, which can let the attraction of LIFE in the lower-level LIFE space completely disappear from us so that we can, "ascend to heaven and become an immortal”. 8.Revering the Greatest Creator and taking the Way of the Greatest Creator: This is the heart and core to end worldly ties and form a celestial tie, also the top and best way to achieve a state of oneness with man and nature and Tao, as well as to go the Elysium world. Everything that Lifechanyuan does is centered on taking the Way of the Greatest Creator. If you want to understand this more deeply, then you will have to read and understand the meanings of Chanyuan Corpus and Xuefeng Corpus, enter the New Oasis for Life, and serve for the Lifechanyuan Era. Conclusion: All forms and things in the universe develop and change as the result of predestination. When predestination exists, then forms, matter, and things exist; when predestination ends, then forms, matter, and things end. Good ties bear good fruit and bad ties bear bad fruit; mundane entanglements fall into the mortal world, but affinity with Buddha goes to the Elysium world. This truth must be understood: Those who understand the secrets and the truth are Celestial beings and Buddha; those who do not are mortal beings.

This is what Lifechanyuan Xuefeng is doing. He is guiding us to higher space. We are on the way of celestial beings. Check which way are you on. -------------- Eight Ways through the Mortal World Xuefeng June 21, 2010 (Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer) Our universe consists of twenty parallel worlds within thirty-six dimensional space. Among these twenty, our mortal world is designated as the XY world and manifests itself as three dimensional space. The twenty parallel worlds all have symmetry, as does all of thirty-six dimensional space. From the perspective of reincarnation and the evolution of LIFE, there are high-level spaces such as the Thousand-year-World, the Ten-thousand-year World, and the Elysium World, and low-level space such as the Inflamed Layer, the Frozen Layer, and the Hell World. The mortal world is the midpoint at which they cross; it is a transfer station for the evolution and reincarnation of LIFE between the higher-level spaces and the lower-level ones. This means that LIVES from low-level spaces advancing to high-level ones and those from high-level spaces falling to low-level ones must pass through this mortal world as a transfer station. The mortal world is a traffic hub just like the Zhengzhou Railway Station in China, where crowds come and go, back and forth, hustling and bustling each and every day, determinedly and actively. It is easy to see that apart from those who work there, they all scatter quickly to their separate directions and transfer to other cars, buses, trains, and airplanes toward their individual destinations, running along their ways busily. In the mortal world, chaos arises with constant fighting and struggling; each holds their own ambition, each has their own axe to grind, each administers in their own way, and each realizes their own wishes. As a temporary stage, each team performs its own show to the maximum, and as a temporary inn, passengers from different places stay briefly before parting company and going their separate ways; each pursues their own prospects! To pursue one’s prospect of reaching their destination, they must proceed in certain ways. Without a good way or by choosing a wrong one, they will never reach their destination. Were they to board the wrong vehicle, their wish would remain just a wish, and their destination would remain out of reach. To be an entrepreneur, one needs to take the way of the market; to do business and make money, they must take the way of circulation; and to be a doctor, they must take the way of medical science and skill. Airplanes must taxi down runways, ships have to float on waterways, trains should run on railway tracks, and cars need to remain on roads and streets. From the perspective of the evolution and reincarnation of LIFE, humans in the mortal world must take one of the following eight ways and pass on to its associated destination: 1.The way of the Greatest Creator - one models themself after nature with holographic order thinking, open heartedness, flexibility, and tact. They will rise to the Celestial Islands Continent. 2. The way of gods - one worships gods quite distinct from each other, bellicose, and domineering. They will advance to Asura heaven. 3. The way of Buddha - one pursues non-form and refines their concept of no abode for the mind and returns to the nature of Tathagata. They will ascend to the Elysium World. 4. The way of Celestial Beings - one takes skepticism, non-dogma, and freedom as their first priorities and cultivates magical powers as their core. They will climb to the Celestial Beings World. 5. The way of humans - one pursues fame and material wealth, attaches great importance to family love and emotions, and remains fond of organization and power. They will return to the mortal world to continue their samsara and return as another human. 6. The way of animals - one takes food, clothing, shelter, transportation, growing up, ageing, health, and avoiding death as their first priorities of life, with the acquisition of money as their core value. They will descend to the Animal World. 7.The way of Ghosts - one neither abides by rules nor laws, but conjures, lurks, and sneaks around like a ghost, speaks one way, but thinks and acts another, and is fond of hiding and good at lying. They will drop into the Hell World. 8.The way of Satan - one is fond of dwelling upon spirits and deities, fortunes and disasters, being ambitious and arrogant, blasphemes the Greatest Creator, and insults the gods. In order to achieve their goals, they plunge LIVES into abysses of misery, and destroy nature “by hook or by crook”. They will fall into the Inflamed Layer or the Frozen Layer. Like attracts; birds of a feather flock together. The way that one takes depends upon their kind of consciousness and their LIFE structure. ”Divine punishments are slow but sure” is also the arrangement and program of Tao. All have their duties and accountabilities, which make each and every one of them vivid and exciting. Whether they know it or not, each person takes their way; most are led along ignorantly and uncaringly, but a small number choose theirs clearly and plainly. You, who have read this article should consider using it as a reference. If you discard what I wrote as groundless nonsense, then simply throw it away - you can even scold and criticize me - but if you feel that it has merit, then consider it as having value because you could benefit from it.

ok after reading through your post it rang bell of Taoism and i did some research on it recently ..its more of a philosophy rather than a religion .. quite frankly i like it .. i like the fact u still praise the God nor Lzu Tao .. as some religious ppl will go nuts on some priests and saints instead of God. I have few things to share with u and would like to have your perspective on that : Is there a reason u choose the wording greatest creator instead of GOD ? what about the power corrupts , such as people in politics and those who have done mass wrong doings and are enjoying life .. why the greatest creator doesn't punish them ? continuing from the point above .. should we presume that every unfortunate event in our life is a punishment that we are serving .. rather than accepting that life does tend throw a mix of everything at us .. i am referring to the factors outside of human control .. not things like on which we have direct influence e.g if we rob a bank and get caught by police , that was called for . Do u concur with the idea that if we conduct our life with as much as close approximation to the ways of universe our transmigration would be in a better state than our current life? i concur that ultimate Tao cannot be achieved by active pursuit and thats the biggest misery amongst religious ppl today .. they are misdirected .. To conduct yourself with laws of nature and universe would appear an ambiguous term for the untrained mind . i do get the idea as to what u mean .. but would appreciate if u could comprehend it further in details and break it down kindly i concur that ultimate Tao cannot be achieved by active pursuit and thats the biggest misery amongst religious ppl today .. they are misdirected .. ------This one i will answer later. To conduct yourself with laws of nature and universe would appear an ambiguous term for the untrained mind . i do get the idea as to what u mean .. but would appreciate if u could comprehend it further in details and break it down kindly ------What kind of life do you think the Greatest Creator wants us to live? After reading below articles, let me know if you find the answer. II. The Purpose of Humanity Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) Is the purpose of humanity only for survival? Are humans the most intellectual animals in the universe? Does the existence or the disappearance of humankind have any influence on the universe? We know from the chapter “the Greatest Creator” that there is purpose for any life beings in the universe, nothing exist for no purpose. Solar system and everything included are to serve humanity, while humanity is to serve the Greatest Creator, and indirectly to serve gods. The Greatest Creator created the universe, gods, buddhas and celestials. Gods sent celestials to create humans under the authorization of the Greates tCreator; therefore, the meaning of humanity is to live for its creator, gods and the Greatest Creator. The Greatest Creator created numerous gods assist him manage the universe to ensure it is running in order. God is the assemblage of high energy; god only has godhood, but doesn’t have playful and naughty character. They can’t bring joy to the Greatest Creator, so he created many angels (celestials and buddhas), let them travel freely in the universe to brighten up the atmosphere of the universe. Although Celestials and Buddhas were created by the Greatest Creator, they are on a lower energy level, and are dominated and influenced by the god in its respective universe. The celestials coming to earth 250 million years ago and the buddhas coming to earth 200 million years ago were the result of the influence. There are three origins for the human on earth: the black men in Africa, American Indian, Egyptian, white men in north Africa and Europe were made by one god; Israelite, Palestinian, Iranian, Afghans, Iraqi, Turk, Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Saudi Arabian and most Indian were created by another god, Chinese, Mongolian, Japanese, Korean and the people in Southeast Asia are the descendants of dinosaur. No matter where we come from, we are equal in the sight of the Greatest Creator, but in the sight of gods, there is big difference. The antagonism among gods is reflected evidently on humans, we can see that from rivalries among Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, and Buddhism. The people of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are originally from the same source,however, because the Israelite can’t get along with their fellow, and instead made good friends with the people from other origins, which had caused their god to create Islam. Muhammad created Islam based on the revelation of his god in opposition to the Israelite and other people. The Israelite should stand together with Muslims, but they betrayed their god and went to join the men created by another god. In the end, they were not only not accepted but also persecuted by those men, while their brothers, Muslims, refused to accept them either; this is the root cause why the Israelite were persecuted in World War II, and still fight with Palestinian till today. The ideology of Buddhism is completely different from that of Christianity and Islam. To survive, Christianity and Islam have to compete; however, Buddhism advocates not fighting; even die without descendants to leave this world of disputes and go back “home” to enjoy free life. The reason why Japanese disturbed Asia in World War II, even fought with USA is not the problem of buddhas, but the punishment by god to buddhas. We know that East and Southeast Asian are the offspring of dinosaur (dragon); they are the embodiments of buddha. They used to be the followers of god Satan, but because of that great plague, they realized that no matter which god they follow, they could be faced another calamity one day, so the best choice for them is to self-cultivate and go back to the “Elysium world”. This thought and behaviour had provoked the discontentment of their god, so he punished the descendants of dinosaur at the same time he punished the Israelite. Moreover, Taoism, a category of Buddhism pursuing only “skill” not “way”, emerged in the process of propagation of Buddhism. Taoism is a school of religion which looks peaceful from the surface: “close the door for the world outside, and form its own system”. But deep inside, Taoists are very competitive, when they are at a weak position, they pretend to be humble, but when opportunity comes, they will stand out to show off their power. Japanese Shintoism also has the similar character. Human beings on earth come from three completely different origins, and the ideological polarity was a historical issue. However, this was not what the Greatest Creator wanted to see; Jesus came down in form of human body with a mission given by the Greatest Creator. He was born in the Satan-made Israelite; when he criticized the Pharisees and religious leaders, by showing his miraculous power, he also taught people to love each other, and said all nations should be united; he asked people put their hope on the GreatestCreator, and make the earth a paradise as the Greatest Creator wishes – the Kingdom of the Greatest Creator. Saint Paul is a very good example transformed by Jesus’s teaching. Today, all people around the world gradually come to surrender to Jesus; they are in fact walking on the way guided by Jesus. Now we know that the purpose of humanity is to serve the Greatest Creator, we are not alone in the universe, except human beings, there are angels (celestials and buddhas), and there are gods above angels, and the Greatest Creator above gods. Humanity have been through hardships since its birth, today’s world is not an easy gain. We need to be grateful to the Greatest Creator, and live in accordance with the teachings of gods, any arrogant behaviour will lead to more sufferings and even the destruction of human beings. ***************** III. The Role of Humanity Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) The Greatest Creator loves humans, because we were designed by him. Among all life beings, celestials are his most favourite, and the next is human. Therefore,we have three responsibilities: 1.To please the Greatest Creator 2.To maintain unity of opposites of the god world Gods are also the children of the Greatest Creator, there is no good or bad god, each god has its own role to play. It is up to the Greatest Creator to judge their merits and demerits. 3.To build and beautiful earth Building and beautifying earth is the responsibility and the indispensable obligation of humanity. Maintaining ecological balance, purifying air, rivers and land are the jobs must be shouldered by humans. We must not shirk our responsibilities just because we are taken care by the Greatest Creator. It is just like kids must learn to be independent and help themselves; they must no rely on the parents for everything.

First, we should know that spaces can be categoried into matter space and anti-matter space. If you want to go to another country, we try to know more about this country, how to get to this contry, all the conditions. Then someday we can get there. It is the same for going to the anti-matter world. The difference is our body cannot get into the anti-matter world, only our consciousness(soul). Like the dream world, our memory. So we have to wait till we died to get into the heavenly world. Yes, we cannot leave space, as you see now, our body is now in matter world while our consciousness is in anti-matter world now. so does that mean our next trans migration will be in anti matter space always ... or it can be in another dimension as well , where the soul will latch on to some other matter to come into some sort of shape ., might as well be on earth again ? Yes, all are possible, depends on your anti matter structure. Answer is in the article" The transmigration of life ". This article may also help. *************** Internal Structure is what Matters Xuefeng (Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer) The nature and function of things are determined by their internal structures. Sugar is sweet while tea is bitter, and this is decided by their structure, not by people. The price of a one-carat (0.2g) diamond is ?14,000 RMB yuan, but the price of an ounce of gold is only about ?10,270 RMB yuan. That is to say that one carat of gold costs ?70 RMB yuan. The price difference between diamonds and gold is 200:1. The fundamental reason lies in the different internal structures of the two. The value of one carat of common stone is too small to measure. The Greatest Creator, Gods and Buddha, Angels, Bodhisattvas, Celestial Beings, devils, demons, monsters, mortals, evil spirits, animals and other LIFE are quite different from one another, and the reason is also because of their different internal structures. Celestials, saints, sages, mortals, laities layman, and ignorant people are all humans, but they are unlike each other because each has a different internal structure. It is as with mushrooms that some are nutritious and will feed you, but some others are poisonous and will sicken or kill you. This too is because of their different internal structures. From this we can understand that the role a person plays, the responsibilities that they assume, and the accomplishments that they achieve are completely determined by their internal structure, and not by others or by society. Gems are inlaid into crowns, while cobblestones are not. Thus we further understand that it is wrong to envy or admire others or to blame social injustice. In any case, we should neither complain, resent, nor loath having a low social status or position. This is called being content in poverty and devoted to spiritual matters. Since we understand that all things are determined by internal structures, we should then make efforts to change and perfect our own internal structures rather than flattering or currying favour with others, using connections for special treatment, envying and admiring others, complaining and resenting others or our society, seeking magic power or skills, seeking shortcuts or begging for mercy and help, blaming or accusing others for our bad luck, being opportunistic, or finding secrets to success. Peaches and plums do not talk, but people come to pick them. The fragrance of flowers attract butterflies. Peonies do not assume their beauty, but people naturally sing songs about them. No matter how flies and mosquitoes dress themselves, people will still detest them. Beggars cannot have refined tastes. Dog meat is not to be served at feasts. Those who lack elegance and good etiquette are not presentable. In short, the internal structure of each thing determines its social role and status. At this point, if someone still complains about heaven and earth or blames others or society for their ill treatment or bad luck in Life or finds excuses and reasons to blame others rather than themselves for their failures, then they would have to be either ignorant or just plain stupid. Are you not satisfied with your current situation? Do not find external excuses and reasons, but make sure to look for source causes from your own internal structure. The internal structures of things are determined by their quality. Taking people for example, good intrinsic qualities are marked with diligence, kindness, purity, honesty, integrity, modesty, and open-mindedness, whereas bad qualities are shown as jealousy, blame, selfishness, greed, laziness, arrogance, dishonesty, and narrow-mindedness. A person who does not have good quality can never be smooth and refined no matter how they struggle, be accomplished in their career, or sail easily through life. They may enjoy good fortune for brief times, but not for very long. People who are moving toward heaven through self-refinery and self-improvement should never waste valuable time and energy on changing the external world or on changing their external appearance. They should invest their time and energy into improving and perfecting the nonmaterial structures of their LIVE’s and on developing good quality. If their quality is not excellent and their structure is not perfect, then they can never reach heaven. It is the same as with a hard rock. Try as it may, it will never be cherished and valued by others. It must alter its internal structure in order to be valued and loved as a treasure and be applied in the most eye-striking and noble places.

2. the Awkwardness of Bible Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) There were records about the origin of humanity in the “Genesis” of Bible: 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 2.7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 2.18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 2.21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. So is this how humans come into being? Let’s still have a look of what Bible says: 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. So, we have a question on the above records, Adam and Eve are the ancestors of humans, Cain and Abel are the first two sons of Adam and Eve, at that time, there should not be anybody else exist on the earth except Adam’s family, so why Cain was worrying “every one that findeth me shall slay me”? Who were going to find him? If what Bible recorded is true, there must be some other men exist except Adam’s family, and they must had long existed before Adam’s family. Otherwise, Cain would not say, “every one that findeth me shall slay me”. So if there lived other humans, and they were not descendants of Adam and Eve (back then, Adam and Eve only had two son, and Abel was killed by Cain), we can say Adam and Even are not the ancestors of all human beings, and what Bible recorded is only the story of origin of Israelite people. Bible only recorded the origin of the Middle East people, and not that of all human beings. So where do human beings come from? Bible is just another form of crowd control. like u said .. its for the middle eastern pll and not all human beings that gives a lot away to its fallacy .. do u have any records for awkwardness for Quran ? No. I guess because it does not prevail, and it is similar to the Genesis story of the Creation.
