I Have an Ideal Xue Feng Following the footprints of immortals,sages, oracles and saints, I have crossed and trekked numerous treacherous mountains and rivers. Roaming all through the wilderness of soul, I have been spreading the message of the Greatest Creator. The wishes of God and Buddha and the expectations of oracles and saints have converged to form my ideal, which is as clear and bright as the shining sun and can be food of thought for you to meditate over. Human beings have been trekking along a long path soaked with blood. Jesus and Sakyamuni have revealed to us that in the universe there are many higher spaces of life and have earnestly and tirelessly admonished us not to go astray from the great road of life. Numberless immortals, sages, oracles and saints have exerted their utmost effort for the happiness of mankind. Their souls are still shining brightly over us, warning us not to act against the law of nature and wishing us to live a happy life. However,blinded by the dense fog of “civilization”, mankind has been straying further and further away from the great road… I want to kindle a beacon of hope to light up the endless darkness, bringing mankind a ray of hope. I want to create an oasis out of the vast and isolated desert, offering an auspicious and harmonious habitat for life on earth. I want to build a land of spirit and soul out of the boundless ocean of flaunty material prosperity, leading to the land those people who yearn towards the Greatest Creator, love life and nature, and possess beautiful human nature and soul and making them eternally severed from the abyss of sufferings. I will shepherd them safely to the thousand-year world to enjoy the wonderful time of the millennium. The people favored by God and Buddha are still miserably shackled in spirit and soul. In this bustling world overrun with desire for material acquisition, people with a purer and better heart are more prone to spiritual and psychological tortures, and cannot afford even a moment of peace and quiet. Every place reeks of putrid smells. What meet the eyes are wickedness and evils that have gone unpunished. Man’s tremendous amount of legal articles and religious teachings are powerless to avert the depravity of morality and the prevalence of wickedness. The viciously misleading evil soul and the junk thought have taken up the throne of truth. Despotism has not only caused the loss of personal and spiritual freedom for the governed but also has caused the governing class to be trapped in the quagmire of desperation, without any hope to obtain the true freedom of life. I want to tell people that the plight of mankind does not lie in the material aspect but in the spiritual aspect. The wasteland of spirit and soul is the real source of human suffering. Seeking the homestead for spirit and soul is an urgency for mankind. The blind pursuit of material acquisition is only analogous to quenching one’s thirst with poisoned wine or stopping water from boiling by scooping it up and pouring it back. Thus such acts will cause the ruin of not only the earth but mankind itself. An era is a demoniac era if the dignity of a person is determined by the amount of money he has earned and the social position he has attained and if the value of man is not measured by hismoral character and good deeds. A society is an evil society if it allows its subjects to become upstart through speculation and plundering instead of getting rich with honest and diligent labor. A government is a despotic and satanic government if it spares no effort to force-out new thinking, attempting to lock people in an ignorant and barbarian and savage world. A nation will become void of wisdom and oriented toward insanity and destruction if it does not advocate dedication and love but blindly instigates its people to use violence. Man’s worry originates partly from ignorance and partly from selfishness. Because of ignorance, we have invited demons in but shut the door against God and Buddha. Because of selfishness, we have chosen wickedness but abandoned righteousness. A lot of good ideals and kind moralities are often snuffed out in the cradle. The desolation of soul is the optimum soil to breed junk thought and religious plague. Today people are engulfed in information. Television, networks, newspapers and magazines, books, and lectures are infusing mountains of information into us, far more than we can digest, thus causing the indigestion, malnutrition, and ill health. The pursuit of knowledge has become a morbid thirst. The more we attempt to swallow down unthinkingly, the less we understand. Various media have become the fertile soil to cultivate ignorance and manic and blind adherence. Having no beliefs, no principles, nowisdom, and no spiritual sense, those literati have made up rancid articles under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality, and promoting benevolence, and under the disguise of adhering to “belief”, cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism… They have fabricated so muchcultural garbage and so many spiritual drugs that it is impossible to clean them all up. The roughly manufactured scum has become our daily food for thought, which has directly distorted our values, destroyed our human environment,and polluted our pure heart. Having no beliefs, no principles, no wisdom, and no spiritual sense, those literati hangmen worship those rancid articles as classics under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality,and promoting benevolence, and under the disguise of adhering to “belief”,cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism… As for those works of wisdom, which shine resplendently with thought, they look down upon them as “heresies” and wielded their cultural butcher knife toward them without hesitation… the Chinese people, on the one hand you have been heaving sighs that China has become a land deserted by the Greatest Creator, but have you on the other hand acquired the broadness of mind to include great wisdom? Can you recognize it when great wisdom really “descends from heaven”? I have an ideal that the Greatest Creator may enter China and the human world, that Christianity and Buddhism may regain their prevalence here, and that humanity may be restored on the beautiful land. When conspiracy and tricks prevail over truth, justice is taunted, enthusiasm meets with contempt, reverence for the Greatest Creator is regarded as ridiculous, oppression and bully are viewedas inviolable power, the hoodwinked masses are meanwhile branded as ignorant,freedom is slandered, life is trampled, right and wrong are reversed, black and white are confused, and good and evil people mix together, then in such situations we have no choice but to search the source of life. Only in this way can we pierce through the indistinct murk and see the light. Only in this way can we steady the steer in the turbid and turbulent waves and ultimately reach the ocean of life. In this unusual time of superficial prosperity, when actually crises are lurking everywhere, we are not yet in the position to sing praises of the virtue or merits. At a time when the journey is rough and treacherous, flattery and conservativeness cannot salvage us. Now it is not yet the time when “the bank of injustice” has gone bankrupt completely. Anynon-action and dawdling will only speed up the approach of “doomsday”. We will only eventually lose our beautiful homestead and splendid future if we are only capable of destruction and are incapable of construction, if we don’t know how to repay other people’s favors and are only bent on vengeance, and if we only want to acquire from others and do not know how to dedicate to others. For many centuries, man’s blind behaviors have dug out an abyss, which can engulf us at any moment and thus should be filled up. The sooner it is leveled up, the better it would be. Reverence for the Greatest Creator and adherence to his road is our only hope, because only in front of the Greatest Creator can we have equal human dignity; because we should worship the Greatest Creator so that our mind can possess soul, our knowledge be transformed into wisdom. And only in this way can we understand the meaning of life and embarkon the great road of life. You may lock yourself up in the ivory tower, lose yourself in the piles of broken papers, and engross yourself in the so-called academic research, thus placing yourself outside the social issues. In so doing, you seem to have entered a serene haven. However, can you expect any egg to remain intact if the nest is overturned? Poke your head inside a cave,leaving your hindquarter exposed and fancying that what is not seen does not exist. Can you derive from your research any great achievements that may do any good to humankind? The unrealistic teaching or “truth”that blindly preaches pursuit of happiness of future life is absurd and wicked.A person always wearing a smile is relentless at heart; a person always withtears is cruel at heart. Children are suffering starvation and cannot afford education; the poverty-stricken have no money to treat their diseases. However, we are manufacturing various kinds of luxury products, and building one after another lifeless skyscrapers. Isn’t this a mockery and blasphemy against LIFE? If our neighbors have no freedom, we ourselves cannot obtain complete freedom. If our brothers are suffering starvation, we cannot swallow the dainty food in our mouths. If people in the remote areas are crying, we will not be able to enjoy quietly the comfort and luxury of big cities. I have an ideal. I will lead those who truly yearn towards the Greatest Creator to Lifechanyuan, and transform the jarring hullabaloo into a fraternal movement, and play a convivial symphony of LIFE. I firmly believe that mankind can certainly walk out of the dark canyon and the wasteland of spirit, and enter an unprecedentedly beautiful field. I firmly believe that soul will prevail over flesh and that people will eventually obtain the freedom of body and mind and the serenity of LIFE. This is not a golden fantasy for the remote future. The majestic tides are surging with mighty momentum. Among their broad bosoms are contained colorful gems that can decorate man’s life and make it more noble and beautiful. When the unexpected supernatural incident comes,the mysterious power shall strike people’s heartstrings, the vast fields will take on the splendid coating, the polluted rivers will become clear and pure again, the turbid sky will be changed into expanses of colorful clouds, and the free rhythm will reverberate in each inch of the land. Eternal virtue remains with Jesus Christ! Supreme wisdom is ascribed to Sakyamuni! Eternal glory belongs to the Greatest Creator! ======================================================================================== Lifechanyuan： www.lifechanyuan.org New Oasis for Life： newoasisforlife.org Lifechanyuan International Family： www.smcyinternationalfamily.org Attachments:

Corruption is the same as evil. But we can't live without any evil (life would be senseless). So, we need some corruptions, if any other evil are without being used. Hi Eugene, is that you? Like a charactor from classic movie. haha From below, we know that what you said above is right. If there is heaven and hell, you choose heaven or hell? -------- The law of the unity of opposites tells us that there is the physical world but also the spiritual, heaven but also hell, material structure but also the non-material, and the tangible human but also the intangible God. As such, our consciousness and thinking are not limited to our mortal Lives and will not be limited to the material world that we see. Our field of knowledge can expand to unlimited space and time, to the afterlife, to the nonmaterial world which we can neither see nor hear from our current place. What a remarkable leap of faith this is! Thus, as human beings, we should not only value the present, but also consider the future, not only pay attention to reality, but also consider nothingness, not only cherish life, but also pay attention to the afterlife. |

The Values and Meanings of Life and LIFE
Xuefeng
( Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)
Life and LIFE are two different concepts.
They are interrelated, but fundamentally different.
Life is that part of LIFE which exists during its journey through the mortal world. Life is temporary, but LIFE is eternal. Life is a chapter in the long river of LIFE. LIFE is a series extending outward from the origin of the universe to infinite time and space.
Life can come to an end at any time, but LIFE can never end, even with the ending of Life. The Life of LIFE is over, but LIFE itself will always continue to exist in other forms.
Therefore,the values and the meanings of Life are different from those of LIFE. If you confuse the values and meanings of Life with the value and meaning of LIFE, then you are likely to have a confused Life.
The values of Life are to serve for LIFE, to pay off debts, to improve your LIFE structure, to make Life happy, joyous, free, and blessed, and to make it extend to higher space.
The meanings of Life are to create wealth and joy, to serve oneself, others, and the community.
The values of LIFE are to serve the Greatest Creator, to serve nature, and to maintain the dynamic balance of the LIFE of the universe.
The meaning of LIFE is that the universe exists for LIFE. LIFE lives for the universe. Without the universe, there would be no LIFE and without LIFE, there would be no universe.
So, what are the values and meanings of Life and of LIFE?
If your Life is happy, joyous, free, and blessed, and if you can orient your Life structure toward perfection, then your Life has value. If your Life can create wealth and joy for yourself, for others, and for your community, then your Life has meaning.
If your LIFE serves the Greatest Creator, serves nature, and serves other LIFE, then your LIFE has both value and meaning.

Jesus is not the Greatest Creator
Xuefeng
(Translated by Xidai and Edited by Kaer)
Jesus was the greatest person in history, He was the Christ, the hope of humanity, the door to eternal life, and the son of, spokesperson for, and the road leading to the Greatest Creator for all kind, diligent, simple, honest, and humble people. Regardless of how much we praise Jesus, it can never be too much, but we can not say that Jesus was or is the Greatest Creator.
A real Christian must venerate Jesus, listen to the teachings of Jesus, and strictly behave according to Jesus' teachings. To lower or raise the status of Jesus is inexcusable. It not only a blasphemes the Greatest Creator, but it is also a betrayal to Jesus. Furthermore, it would be the Antichrist and a sin to human beings.
Jesus belongs to all human beings, not to any specific nation or religion. Jesus's teachings are for everyone. Everyone who loves Jesus, believes in Jesus, and follows Jesus' teachings, is a Christian. This does not need any baptism or approval from any special anointed person or religious institution. Even the Hindu, Mahatma Gandhi said, "I love Jesus Christ." Many Buddhists also say they love Jesus. But here we shall know that Jesus is not the Greatest Creator.
Jesus never claimed himself to be the Greatest Creator. He taught us again and again that we shall walk on the way of the Greatest Creator.
Let us check the words of Jesus to verify whether or not Jesus was the Greatest Creator.
But He said, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." ~Luke 4:43
Here, Jesus says that he was sent. If Jesus is the Greatest Creator, who will ask the Greatest Creator to do things?
“By myself, I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me”. ~ John 5:30
Here, Jesus clearly tells us that he came, not for his will, but for the will of the Greatest Creator.
“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” ~Matthew 12:32
Here, Jesus humbly tells us that if we speak a word against him, we can be forgiven. But if we speak words against the Greatest Creator, we can not be forgiven. These words clearly show that Jesus was not the Greatest Creator.
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. "What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom". "You don't know what you are asking", Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We can", they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father". ~Matthew 20:21-23
Here, Jesus directly tells us that his right was less than the Greatest Creator's. He had no right to grant people to sit at either of his sides. If Jesus were the Greatest Creator, would he not have this right to grant?
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ~ Mark 15:34
Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit". When he had said this, he breathed his last. ~Luke 23:46
From these words, how can we say that Jesus is the Greatest Creator?
I also want to ask, can Man condemn the Greatest Creator to death? Is Man more powerful than the Greatest Creator?
I still want to ask, Jesus had prayed many times, if Jesus were the Greatest Creator, to whom did he pray? Is there any being greater than the Greatest Creator?
The facts prove, time and again, that Jesus was not the Greatest Creator. So, why do some people still claim that Jesus is the Greatest Creator?
There is an evil purpose here, which is to raise the status of Jesus so high that it moves people farther away from the Greatest Creator. Since they said Jesus is the Greatest Creator, they shall listen to the teachings of Jesus. But no! They did not hear and follow any teachings of Jesus. They just wanted to get to their own scheme. What was the scheme? That is to praise Jesus so high with their lips that they betray Jesus and ask people to walk on the way of Satan.
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God". ~Matthew 16:15-16
Some Christians who praise Jesus with their lips have dishonored the real Christians. No wonder that Mahatma Gandhi said, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ”.
Yes, Jesus said that, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30), but this does not mean the Father is the son or that the son is the Father. It means that Jesus has been with the Greatest Creator throughout many ages, it means that Jesus is the honest son of the Greatest Creator. Jesus dutifully carried out the Greatest Creator's will and what he had done were all strictly following the Greatest Creator's will. From this, Jesus and the Greatest Creator are always one. Jesus keeps his oneness with the Greatest Creator from the beginning of time.
We often speak of the unity of humanity and heaven, but it does not mean humanity and heaven are the same.

The Application of Lao Tzu's Thought in the Management
of the Second Home
Xuefeng
Chanyuan celestials in our 4th branch
The Second Home is the new life mode for future mankind. It is managed by the holographic thinking, whose core is conformity to the Tao, compliance with nature, absence of action, lack of contention, observance of neutrality, absence of dominance, lack of selfish desire, and enthusiasm for service. Specifically speaking, the management method of holographic thinking means following the way of the Greatest Creator, running everything according to the programme of nature and according to man's origin of nature, avoiding the extreme employment of man's intelligence and wisdom, staying away from all measures and methods that are likely to lead to contention, argument, and fight, refraining from radical behaviors, making no rules, regulations, laws, commandments, and orders, eliminating all private ownership, and trying every effort to bring out the sincerity, kindness, beauty, faith, trust, and peace in human character. The distinction between people and people is only the difference in division of labor, and there is no relation of the managing and the managed. All are offering services to each other, and there are no such positions as the administrators. All affairs, important or not, will be handled on the basis of clear division of labor, with special persons assigned to take special responsibility for the special affairs.
The management of the Second Home should depend fully on Lao Tzu's Thought, which is represented by the following eight points.
1. Guidance by the saint and management by the talented (the management here only implies a difference in the division of labor instead of the difference in the status) "saint Manages affairs without action;
"Preaches the doctrine without words;
All things take their rise, but he does not turn away from them;
He gives them life, but does not take possession of them;
He acts, but does not appropriate;
Accomplishes, but claims no credit.
It is because he lays claim to no credit
That the credit cannot be taken away from him. "
2. “Exalt not the wise“ ,“Prize not rare objects“，“Shut out from site the things of desire“
“And the cunning ones shall not presume to interfere. "
3. “In his dwelling, (the Sage) loves the (lowly) earth;
In his heart, he loves what is profound;
In his relations with others, he loves kindness;
In his words, he loves sincerity;
In government, he loves peace;
In business affairs, he loves ability;
In his actions, he loves choosing the right time."
4.“Banish wisdom, discard knowledge“, Banish "humanity," discard "justice", “Banish cunning, discard "utility".
5. Embraces "the One"(one core principle, thinking or method etc.) in everything you do.
6. Eschew excess, eschew extravagance, Eschew pride.
7. Govern the home with justice, not with human wisdom, do away with "taboos", “sharp weapons", "skills of technique", and "statutes".
8."Despise not their dwellings, Dislike not their progeny. "
From the above eight points, it can be known that there should be invisible saints in the Second Home, who do not guide with preachings, but with wordless examples, who create things silently but do not take possession of them, and who serve all creatures but do not claim credit for their services. Do not flaunt the worthy and talented, do not distinguish the superior from the inferior. The rarer a thing is, the less use it will be put to. Do not set up things that may stimulate a person's selfish desire. Leave no loopholes and market for the deceiving and cunning persons to act wildly against the law and public opinion. Keep a clean and tidy living environment, the people in the neighborhood should be unsophisticated and honest and sincere. People should have a kind heart, and treat people kindly. They should seek truth from facts, tell things as they really are, and keep their promises. What they do should fit in with their hobbies, personalities, and special talents. They behaviors should comply with natural laws and their actions should accord the actual situation. Give up cunningness and artfulness, stick to the way, abandon the preaching of righteousness and morality, discard skills, fame, wealth, and ranks. Make people unselfish and possess nothing. Make sure that they have nothing but actually possess everything. Embrace the One in everything. Revere and believe in the only Greatest Creator in the universe. Abide by the overall arrangement of the only government in the whole world. There will be only one person responsible for everything. Do not have a life of luxury, and do not waste. Practice moderation in everything. Do not overdo. All affairs and arrangements of the Second Home should be made public so that everyone has a clear knowledge of them. Do not engage in secretive management, do not practice superstition. People should stick to facts, science, logic, and spiritual perception. There should be few prohibitions, commandments, terms, and taboos in the Second Home. The Second Home should never possess any swords, spears, rods, and other weapons specially to harm others. It should not sing praise of people's cleverness and skills, it should make people live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy the ordinary life. It should not cause disturbance to their settlement, or disrupt their peace and quiet. It should make sure that everyone enjoys the joy, pleasure, freedom, and happiness of life. It should abstain from force, coercion, and suppression, and should make sure that no one imposes his or her own will upon others.
In one word, the Second Home adopts Paradise Management. The content of this method of management is both simple and complicated, and only those with supreme wisdom can understand. Yet, no matter how complicated the management is, everything will become extremely simple as long as you follow the way of the Greatest Creator or the way of nature. Otherwise, the management will become extremely complex.

Paradise Management: Replace Management with Service
Xuefeng
Paradise Management has very rich connotations. It is simple because it does not manage anything, it is at the same time complicate because it is the highest form of management, which makes everything operate in a methodical and orderly manner.
In Paradise Management, management is replaced with service. The host is actually the servant and the management is actually the service. No administrative orders will be employed, no force will be used. Submission shall not be obtained via threats, lure by promises of gains, intimidation, or suppression. It is forbidden to impose one's own will upon others to make them painful or unhappy. It is forbidden to make anyone feel any sense of inequality between people.
The Greatest Creator manages the whole universe by Paradise Management. "All things take their rise, but he does not turn away from them; Makes them grow, develops them, It gives them birth and does not own them, Acts (helps) and does not appropriate them, Is superior, and does not control them, Accomplishes, but claims no credit." "Water benefits all things,And does not compete with them. It dwells in (the lowly) places that all disdain" ,"But (of the best) when their task is accomplished, their work done, The people all remark, "We have done it ourselves" , " A good runner leaves no track. A good speech leaves no flaws for attack. A good reckoner makes use of no counters. A well-shut door makes use of no bolts, And yet cannot be opened. A well-tied knot makes use of no rope, And yet cannot be untied”, "Of the best rulers , The people (only) know that they exist; The next best they love and praise; The next they fear; And the next they revile. "
What Paradise Management employs is affinity instead of deterrence, happy play and games instead of a serious appearance, naturalness instead of resort to force; this method of management offers happiness and freedom, instead of suffering and bondage. It exerts its influence subtly, and does not resort to rainstorm-like power. It teaches with wordless example, it enlightens spiritual wisdom and perception, and makes people fully exhibit their sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith, honesty, simplicity, and character. It does not resort to endless preaching and cheating, and it does not arouse people's selfishness and greed.
It is difficult to give a full and clear definition of Paradise Management, which can be easily understood but is difficult to explain in words. But one thing is certain, and this is service. Mobilize initiative with love, move with real emotion, and make people move toward perfection with sincere service. All looks so natural, without any "track" of force and suppression.
Of course, when faced with disproportion and radicalism, Paradise Management will "Stop its apertures, and dull its edges"(from Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching).

A Prayer for Chanyuan Celestials to Create Beautiful Dreams
Xuefeng
December 7, 2010
(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)
Preface
Life is like a dream; a dream is like life. Life is but a dream; a dream is also your life. People have lots of dreams throughout their lives, so let every one of them become splendid and fantastic so that they can wander in beautiful dream worlds every night. Dreams are also supplements; links to great lives.
A dream is a reflection of a person's state of consciousness, physiology, and soul. "Good people have good dreams; evil people have nightmares". In order to enjoy beautiful dreams, you must first obtain a good consciousness, physical health, and a beautiful soul. If one’s consciousness is a mess, has many physiological defects, or has a soul garden that is full of weeds such as jealousy, resentment, anger, anxiety, selfishness, greed, laziness, arrogance, and so on, then they cannot enjoy beautiful dreams.
Chanyuan celestials are baptized by the values of Lifechanyuan and are building their own soul gardens. In order to cooperate with the construction of these soul gardens, this “Prayer for Chanyuan Celestials to Create Beautiful Dreams” was composed:
· Lie naked on your bed
· Take eight deep breaths and clear your mind
· Forget all the problems of your past day
· Rid yourself of all unhappy thoughts
· Remain peaceful and simple
· Meditate on the beauty of the Thousand-year World or the Ten-thousand-year World for three minutes and read the prayer below attentively
The Prayer for Creating Beautiful Dreams
Loving Greatest Creator with my infinite reverence!
I am lying in your warm, comfortable, safe, and gentle embrace
Your spiritual light embraces my whole body
as spring rain moisturizes seedlings
Brightness and beauty are falling on me
All is harmonious and peaceful
The night is sacred and the earth is quiet
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers
The first faint glimmer of dawn twinkles in the distance
Tomorrow's world will be more beautiful than today’s was
I am a beautiful flower fairy; I am a beautiful elf
I am a baby with your special care and blessing
I am always bathed in your spiritual light wherever I go
with neither fear nor darkness
I can enjoy running and playing on the prairie
and in the river as much as I can to my heart’s content
Nothing can hurt me; my world is full of joy and safety
My future is beautiful; I yearn for it infinitely
Following your messenger, I have neither worries nor hesitation
Flowers pave the road ahead of me
The great beauty of my hometown, the Thousand-year world, beckons to me
I am a fairy, I am an angel, I can fly in the vast blue sky, ah!
The feeling of flying is so comfortable and joyous
I want to fly!
Fly to the distant hometown of heaven!
Oh Dear Greatest Creator!
Thank you for all that you have bestowed upon me
I am no longer sad and have no worries
I have taken the path that you have arranged for me
The road ahead is clear and my future will continue to become
more joyous and full of brightness, pleasure, and happiness
Ah, Peaceful night! I am so happy to be lying in your arms
The fragrance of affectionate love follows me on my path to heaven
Gods, Buddha, angels are with me
Tonight is full of fresh flowers and sweet dreams, and
I will enter dreamland and my dreams will be sweet and beautiful
Amen!
Attention:
The magic of the above prayer lies in your consciousness.
Everything that has been inlaid to your consciousness will be realized even it seems illusory.
Sense it in your heart, and create it with your consciousness.
Copy or print the above prayer in a larger font, and read them in silence.
If you are still unable to fall asleep, then read them twice or three times till you fade into the dream world.

Corruption is the same as evil. But we can't live without any evil (life would be senseless). So, we need some corruptions, if any other evil are without being used. Hi Eugene, is that you? Like a charactor from classic movie. haha From below, we know that what you said above is right. If there is heaven and hell, you choose heaven or hell? -------- The law of the unity of opposites tells us that there is the physical world but also the spiritual, heaven but also hell, material structure but also the non-material, and the tangible human but also the intangible God. As such, our consciousness and thinking are not limited to our mortal Lives and will not be limited to the material world that we see. Our field of knowledge can expand to unlimited space and time, to the afterlife, to the nonmaterial world which we can neither see nor hear from our current place. What a remarkable leap of faith this is! Thus, as human beings, we should not only value the present, but also consider the future, not only pay attention to reality, but also consider nothingness, not only cherish life, but also pay attention to the afterlife. Thank you, Ivy, for your kind words! Yeah, it's me  It's very nice to me hearing that I look like some kind of old movie character. I'd like to, because one of my best genres of movie is noir. I like all those detective stories, and investigations. Considering the text. "The law of unity of opposites" - This law is very specific. Let me tell you something about it, because having been using it I've learnt some things about it. First of all, any choices are not pure choices; if someone would offer us something asking "choose this or that", he would have proposed us not free, but half-free choice (we should have chosen just one of those types). Even if the one would have proposed us to choose "this thing", "that thing", or "this & that things" - it, however, would have been an intrusive choice. If any choice is intrusive, it means that even one opposite and another one (a thing and its opposition) is not real contradiction. And if there are no real contradictions in this example, it means that there's no logical insurances to imply from it something. And, finally, we can't get anything necessary from such type of arguments. About heaven&hell: You know, I don't know where I wanted to be, because I like places where I can find people like you. You, Ivy, is one of not many persons who talks with me sincerely, and honestly. Thank you for this! You are really good person! |

Hi Eugene, is that you? Like a charactor from classic movie. haha From below, we know that what you said above is right. If there is heaven and hell, you choose heaven or hell? -------- The law of the unity of opposites tells us that there is the physical world but also the spiritual, heaven but also hell, material structure but also the non-material, and the tangible human but also the intangible God. As such, our consciousness and thinking are not limited to our mortal Lives and will not be limited to the material world that we see. Our field of knowledge can expand to unlimited space and time, to the afterlife, to the nonmaterial world which we can neither see nor hear from our current place. What a remarkable leap of faith this is! Thus, as human beings, we should not only value the present, but also consider the future, not only pay attention to reality, but also consider nothingness, not only cherish life, but also pay attention to the afterlife. Thank you, Ivy, for your kind words! Yeah, it's me It's very nice to me hearing that I look like some kind of old movie character. I'd like to, because one of my best genres of movie is noir. I like all those detective stories, and investigations. Considering the text. "The law of unity of opposites" - This law is very specific. Let me tell you something about it, because having been using it I've learnt some things about it. First of all, any choices are not pure choices; if someone would offer us something asking "choose this or that", he would have proposed us not free, but half-free choice (we should have chosen just one of those types). Even if the one would have proposed us to choose "this thing", "that thing", or "this & that things" - it, however, would have been an intrusive choice. If any choice is intrusive, it means that even one opposite and another one (a thing and its opposition) is not real contradiction. And if there are no real contradictions in this example, it means that there's no logical insurances to imply from it something. And, finally, we can't get anything necessary from such type of arguments. About heaven&hell: You know, I don't know where I wanted to be, because I like places where I can find people like you. You, Ivy, is one of not many persons who talks with me sincerely, and honestly. Thank you for this! You are really good person! What I am doing is to be happy and bring happiness to people around me. If you do things make you happy, you don't have time to do things make you worry or sad or bring you trouble. Though I didn't get your point on the analyzation of choice, i won'g trouble myself trying to figure it out. I just simply know if there is dark, there must be light, if there is right, there must be wrong, they depends on each other to exist. And about choice, sometimes i don't know what is the best for me, so i leave it to Tao to guide me. I follow my feeling. Tao make the best arrangement for me. Read below you might know where you want to be, where to find people like me. ----------------- What Counts as Having Crossed the River (1) Deiform Celestial December 3, 2006 (Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer） Why is it so hard to find soulmates in our lives? A soulmate is another self that resonates with our souls; those with souls that do not completely resonate with ours cannot be our soulmates. Life becomes fulfilled when one finds their soulmate, but although this is the dream and expectation of most people, it is very rare that they actually find them. Why can we not find ours? Why is it so hard? There are thousands of reasons, but the core one is that we ourselves are not frank and honest with each other. Being with friends brings us joy; being with soulmates brings us sedateness; such beautiful feelings are really beyond description. Where is heaven? Heaven is the place where soulmates unite with each other. Soulmates do not possess each other, but enrich each other; do not occupy each other, but allow full freedom for each other; do not pillage each other, but give to each other. If both parties are willing to devote their lives to each other, then they are soulmates. The human world is only a mortal world because we cannot find our soulmates here; the place where there are no soulmates is the mortal world. The reason why the Thousand-year World, the Ten-thousand-year World, and the Elysium World are paradises is because we can find group of soulmates there. Only by baring our souls, by baring ourselves completely, and by dedicating ourselves, can we find our soulmates. Darkness confuses people and makes them afraid; see nothing and understanding nothing. How can people be joyous and comfortable in darkness? People wrap themselves up, do not let outsiders see their inner worlds, watch and monitor others like thieves, and make others clear but keep themselves unclear, so how can they find a soulmate? Climbing to the sky is hard but understanding oneself is even harder! Pursuing Tao is extremely hard, but facing one’s true self is much harder. Being hypocritical is ugly and one of the symptoms of an imperfect LIFE structure. Selfness is the chief criminal that causes our own and others’ pain, and the greatest obstacle to the way of self-improvement. The greatest difference of self-improvement and self-cultivation between Lifechanyuan and other sects is that our emphasis is on the perfection of nonmaterial LIFE structures; as long as our structures are perfect, then we will acquire Tao and become celestials. From differences of perfection, we achieve differences of fruition. Other sects emphasize the training of skills, such as dredging meridians, alchemy, chanting mantras, reciting sutras, meditating, practicing pranayama, collecting qi, twin-cultivation, and so on. The difference between Lifechanyuan and other sects such as Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, and Islam, is that Lifechanyuan follows two paths at the same time; one is the path of life, the other is the path of LIFE. Not only do we enjoy our lives, but we also pursue a beautiful afterlife; not only do we devote ourselves to humanity and to creating the Lifechanyuan Era, but we also extend our LIVES into the higher-level spaces of LIFE. Other sects generally take no account of this life, but emphasize pursuing their future (afterlife); we are unique in that we do both. Obviously, without processes, there are no results; without good processes, there are no good results. Those who do not feel joyous and happy as humans are absolutely unable to reach heaven. How could we enjoy heaven if we always wear sad faces? If there is no joy and happiness in our LIFE structures, then how could we enjoy pleasure and happiness in heaven? If we cannot conduct ourselves well as humans, then how can we understand how to become celestial beings or attain Buddhahood? if we cannot learn courses of primary and middle school very well, then how can we study university courses well? The self-improvement and self-cultivation of Lifechanyuan is unique. Our aim is to let everyone always lead joyous and happy lives, to really laugh, to become children with wisdom, to forget what fear, worry, and death are, to be each other's soulmates, adore each other, dedicate ourselves to each other, and love each other until death. Finally, we will abandon and forget about ourselves completely, only devote ourselves, and become so “foolish” that we will not even care about what is in our own best interest. When we become this way, then we will have achieved our goal. Newcomers to Lifechanyuan might have the illusion that Chanyuan celestials are silly children who lack profound wisdom and enjoy fun all day without self-cultivation, but the opposite is actually true. All Chanyuan celestials have clear minds and brilliant wisdom, our self-cultivation directs our core, and we attain magical powers naturally. Supreme self-cultivation is contained within human nature and NATURE. Gradually, our wisdom will exceed many masters and our nonmaterial structures will approach those of Super Celestial beings. This can be stated as, “The pinnacle of good writing is nothing special, it is only being just right; the pinnacle of good character is nothing unusual, it is only being one’s natural self”. We need to climb mountains and cross rivers on our journey. The highest mountain is the self; we need to climb over the self. If we still maintain our present selves, then we cannot become celestial beings. Where are these rivers that need to be crossed, how many are there, and what counts as having crossed one? I will explain those things in the backyard of Lifechanyuan. |

A Blind Spot in Superstring Theory
Xuefeng
Oct 24, 2005
(Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)
If we consider the quantum field theory as one leg in a pair of pants and the general relativity theory as the other leg, then the superstring theory would be the waist part trying to connect them.
Einstein’s general relativity mainly discusses gravity and holds that it does not exist but is the result of the curvature of space. It assumes that space itself is smooth and flat, but when celestial bodies of great mass such as the sun appear, they cause it to curve inward. It is like pressing hard on a girl’s round and smooth face with an index finger which breaks the smoothness and forms an indentation. The geometric deformation of space gives rise to apparent gravity which defines it from a macro-perspective. With regard to a person or a stone, its mass is too small to deform space any noticeable amount, thus microscopic matter has almost no apparent gravity.
The problem with microcosmic matter is that its space is not smooth and flat, but is filled with countless, flying particles which are unable to curve space to produce gravity as huge masses do. The movements of microparticles have nothing to do with gravity; they are the results of electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. Quantum mechanics appeared when general relativity failed to explain the source of these three forces.
Quantum mechanics studies fundamental particles at the microcosmic level. Whether large celestial bodies or grains of sand on the beach, all matter is made of hundreds of types of fundamental particles with masses close to zero but whose trajectories change unpredictably with no rules to follow but are always in motion. Motion is not caused by gravity, but by the three aforementioned forces of nature being converted from the particles. Electromagnetism is converted from photons, the strong force is converted from gluons, and the weak force is converted from bosons, however the conversion of particles cannot generate gravity; therefore, the quantum mechanics does not explain gravity.
The macroscopic world and the microscopic world are unified integral, but general relativity theoary which can explain motion at the macroscopic level and quantum mechanics which can explain it at the microscopic level, are not fully compatible. An overall description of the universe can only be had by combining these two seemingly contradictory theories and this mosaic theory is called the Superstring Theory.
This Superstring theory believes that matter is made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms, atoms are made of electron shells and nuclei, and the nuclei consist of protons and neutrons which are made of quarks. What are quarks and electrons made of? Scientists believe that both are fundamental “point” particles which have no internal structures and cannot be divided any further.
Superstring argues that these particles do not really exist, but are only strings in motion in space, and a variety of different types of particles are formed by these strings vibrating differently. All interactions between matter and energy can be explained by combining and separating strings, but strings do not move in normal three-dimensional space. Rather, they move in a high-dimension of space which is beyond our imagination. Our traditional ideas about space are wrong because space has more than three dimensions; maybe ten or even twenty-six of them.
If this sounds confusing, consider the following scenario:
· An ant crawls into a shallow pit.
· It climbs out and goes further until it falls into a deeper pit.
· It climbs out and continues to go until after some time, it drops into a sand pit.
· It climbs out, but eventually lands inside a mud pit.
These four pits are totally irrelevant to the ant which simply comes across them by chance. Living on a two-dimensional plane, it cannot see the interrelation of the four pits, let alone know that they may be related integrally.
What is the reality of the situation? These four pits are footprints left by an elephant as it ate. One foot stood on hard ground, another stood on soft ground, a third in sand, and the fourth was in a pond of rainwater. So there are the shallow pit, the deep pit, the sand pit, and the mud pit. That is to say, the seemingly unrelated pits are actually integral parts of a whole. It is only when we think beyond our two-dimensional plane to include three-dimensional height, four-dimensional time, five-dimensional retention information, and six-dimensional space movement and so on, that we begin to understand how these unrelated pits are integral parts left by a single elephant.
Gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force are our four pits, but they are actually parts of a whole. Superstring theory was conceived to explain their integration.
“Superstring is the most promising theory to unify our understanding of fundamental particles with the interactions of the four forces”;
“Superstring holds that strings are the most basic units of matter and that all fundamental particles such as electrons, photons, neutrinos, and quarks are different vibrational states of energy strings.”
“Superstring combines the two major basic theories of the twentieth century, general relativity and quantum mechanics, for the first time into a mathematically self-consistent framework.”
“Superstring has the potential to solve long-standing problems that have troubled physicists, including the nature of black holes and the origin of the universe. If experimentation confirms it, then our understanding of the structure of matter, space, and time would change fundamentally.”
The prospect is tempting and theoreticians are struggling with it, but it seems ridiculous and childish to me because of some major blind spots; they are:
1. How have these strings come into being?
2. How do they move?
3. Could they represent the origin of the universe?
How can a unified field theory of the universe be established when the origin of the universe is still unknown?
Only Lifechanyuan can answer these questions.

A Blind Spot in Superstring Theory Xuefeng Oct 24, 2005
Hi Ivy,
These are questions I ponder on. Does there exist a written source for the answers?
Yes, the answer is in Chanyuan Corpus, but one article has not been translated. I paste here the Chinese version so you can translate yourself. another one has been translated. There are 8 forces in the universe, while so far human kind only know 4 of them. That is why the Universal Unified Field theory cannot be established. 《传道篇》之六：宇宙统一场 雪峰 宇指一切的无限的空间，宙指一切的无限的时间，宇宙就是由无限空间和无限时间构成的物质和反物质的综合体。 宇宙统一场指适用于所有时间和所有空间中"放至四海而皆准"的定律。 建立宇宙统一场是科学家们梦寐以求的愿望。科学家们设想过用一个简单明了的公式来描述宇宙统一场理论，这个公式可称为终极公式，它应该适用于一切领域。 据说爱因斯坦花用了他后半生三十年的时光来试图寻找到这个公式，结果望洋兴叹，忧劳无获。近代世界不论是誉满全球的，还是不名一文的科学家们都在宇宙统一场问题上"八仙过海，各显神通，"欲图摘取这另一种意义上歌德巴赫猜想的桂冠。 美妙的前景很诱人，但它却象海市蜃楼一样，似有若无，似近若远，我大概地看了看他们走过的历史和路径，发现他们犯了方向性的错误。 首先我们来看科学家们的视野，他们的视野千篇一律地聚焦在了物质领域，完全忽视了反物质领域，犹如摸着了美女光滑细嫩的肌肤和感受到了情爱的气息，却完全忽视了美女内心世界的千般风情，万种风姿，所以，科学家们不是宇宙统一场上的情爱高手，而是常在红灯区留连往返的情场麻木老手而已。 科学家们认为宇宙中存在四种力：磁力、引力、强核力、弱核力，他们认为，只要有一个公式或者理论能把这四种力天衣无缝地纳入一个公式或理论体系中，就可以建立起宇宙统一场，就可以一劳永逸地享受宇宙的奥妙了，就可以芝麻开门，欣赏大千世界的奇妙风采了。 他们忘情地陶醉在自己的幻想中难以自拔，不要说建立宇宙统一场，就连这四种力目前还无法用一个公式统一起来，即使有朝一日统一了起来，那也是唐僧西天路上遇到的假雷音寺而已，决不是如来佛祖所居的西天真雷音寺。 宇宙中到底有多少种力？ 答：有八种--磁力、引力、强力、弱力、构力、斥力、意力、灵力。 这八种力简述如下： 磁力：带电荷的粒子之间的相互作用力 引力：由运动导致的时空扭曲产生的物质相互吸引的力。 强力：在质子和中子中将夸克束缚在一起，并将质子和中子束缚在一起形成原子的力。 弱力：作用于所有物质粒子，而不作用于携带力的粒子的力。 构力：物质和反物质的构造产生的力，任何一种结构都有自身独特的吸收能量的力。 斥力：同性相斥的力。 意力：类似于大脑想撒尿时膀胱和尿道及时开始工作的力。 灵力：引起事物间相互能感应的力。 我说过，科学家建立不起宇宙统一场理论，主要原因在于他们无法测量和计算后四种力，尽管对后四种力无法测量和计算，但我们无法否认和忽视这四种力的存在。既然它们存在，你又无法把它们纳入同一个公式或理论体系中，那么，你就无法建立起宇宙统一场。这也就是爱因斯坦徒劳无功的根因所在。 谈到这里，许多"科学家"们或许会嘲笑雪峰了，嘲笑吧！尽情地嘲笑吧！看谁能笑到最后。 那么，宇宙统一场就建不起来了吗？非也，宇宙统一场早就建起来了。 这就是--上帝的道，也称为宇宙三要素"意识、结构、能量"构成的浑沌体系。 宇宙是全息的，上帝的道包含了以上八种力，且把它们奇妙地纳入到了一个统一的体系中。 科学家们只是把目光放在了物质世界，忽视了反物质世界，但宇宙是由无限时间和无限空间的物质和反物质构成的，忽视了反物质世界，如何能建立起宇宙统一场？ 以上就是生命禅院的宇宙统一场理论。 剩下的问题就是在"道"上下功夫。 为什么叫《传道篇》到此应该有眉目了。 2005.12.30 Consciousness, Structure, and Energy are the Three Elements of the Universe Xuefeng November 18, 2006 (Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer) Look at the boundless world. What is caught by our eyes is material structure. Without structure, there is no material. For the various marvellous spectacle of LIVES, the differences lie in the differences of structures. Structures decide the forms of LIVES. We can choose the people who we want in crowds immediately because of their distinct structures. We can easily find a peony among many types of flowers because peony’s structures are distinctive, we identify everything by identifying their structures. The universe is full of invisible energy which only reveals itself by attaching itself to structures. Therefore, all visible objects that we see are structures combined with energy geometrically. Different structures absorb different energies; the wonder of the pyramids lies in their structures. Successful farmers do not grow the same kind of crops in the same fields every year because the land contains nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and different plants require them in different proportions. It is only by rotating crops constantly that the supplies of the various nutrients of the land will be distributed and utilized properly. Solar cookers and water heaters, heat water because of their structures; trains, trucks, and cars carry different loads because of their different structures; flies, bees, tigers, leopards, and sheep need different foods because of their different digestive structures. Who creates such a great variety of structures? Look at the various high-rise buildings in cities; who created them? Look at women’s beautiful clothes and makeup; who created them? All kinds of foods in supermarkets are like feasts for the eyes which cannot even take them all in, but who created them? There is no doubt that they were all created by people, but were they created by people’s hands and feet? Of course not, but by people’s consciousnesses; their hands and feet are controlled by their consciousness; without consciousnesses, nobody’s hands and feet would accomplish anything. So we can see that the eternal things in the universe are only consciousnesses, structures, and energy. All other things are illusory, showy but not substantial, and cannot last. Energy is neutral, just like air and water, and any consciousness can direct it. Therefore, we need not attach too much importance to energy because fragrant flowers can attract butterflies. What kinds of structures can attract what kinds of energy toward them naturally? We know that all structures are the products of consciousnesses, so we do not need to emphasize structures too much. The kind of consciousness we have decides the kind of corresponding structure that we will have. Unify all thoughts and all beliefs into the Greatest Creator’s will and all religions into one uniform belief system; this is the “one” consciousness. The universe has consciousness, if it did not, then there would not be such a variety of LIFE structures with thousands of postures and an infinite variety of material forms; then what is this consciousness? It is the Greatest Creator! When we find the Greatest Creator, we find the headstream and the core, all problems can be solved effortlessly, the indistinct and misty become bright and clear, the complex becomes simple, darkness morphs into light, the finite expands to the infinite, and misery becomes joy. The core beliefs of Lifechanyuan are to “Revere the Greatest Creator” and to “Take the Way of the Greatest Creator”; this is the path leading to heaven! Those who go against this great path are of heretical sects, and regardless of what of names they take, how dazzling or marvelous their theories sound, how inscrutable their magical powers are, or how many disciples or followers they attract, they are all the superfluous “tumors” growing in the body of humanity that will be eliminated. “Revere the Greatest Creator and Take the Way of the Greatest Creator”; this is the touchstone to determine good from evil, truth from falsity, and beauty from ugliness. Evil and ugly people do NOT revere the Greatest Creator nor take His way; theories and sermons are evil and ugly if they do NOT revere the Greatest Creator nor take His way; States, political parties, religions, or groups are evil and ugly if they do NOT revere the Greatest Creator, nor take His way. Consciousness is nonmaterial and the consciousness of the Greatest Creator manifests itself as “Tao”. The consciousness of the Greatest Creator runs through all tangible and intangible time and space everywhere, including both the material and the nonmaterial world and the positive and the negative universe; this is the genuine God. States of consciousness decide the forms of LIFE and their methods of survival. The “differentiators” of the LIVES of ignorant people, laities, mortals, sages, celestials, goblins, demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters are their types of consciousnesses. Therefore, we must emphasize our consciousnesses during our lives and our emphasis on consciousness must always be on “Revering the Greatest Creator and taking His Way”. Once this key link is grasped, everything else falls into their proper places, we get twice the results with half the effort, and find clear and bright paths to reach splendid goals. We will ultimately accomplish the spiritual state of immortality and attain the LIFE structure of higher-level space and reach the other shore to realize our ideal! I believe that all governments officials, industrial and religious leaders, and company bosses do understand these principles very well. |

Different structures absorb different energies; the wonder of the pyramids lies in their structures. Successful farmers do not grow the same kind of crops in the same fields every year because the land contains nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and different plants require them in different proportions. It is only by rotating crops constantly that the supplies of the various nutrients of the land will be distributed and utilized properly. Solar cookers and water heaters, heat water because of their structures; trains, trucks, and cars carry different loads because of their different structures; flies, bees, tigers, leopards, and sheep need different foods because of their different digestive structures. Who creates such a great variety of structures? Look at the various high-rise buildings in cities; who created them? Look at women’s beautiful clothes and makeup; who created them? All kinds of foods in supermarkets are like feasts for the eyes which cannot even take them all in, but who created them? There is no doubt that they were all created by people, but were they created by people’s hands and feet? Of course not, but by people’s consciousnesses; their hands and feet are controlled by their consciousness; without consciousnesses, nobody’s hands and feet would accomplish anything. So we can see that the eternal things in the universe are only consciousnesses, structures, and energy. All other things are illusory, showy but not substantial, and cannot last. Energy is neutral, just like air and water, and any consciousness can direct it. Therefore, we need not attach too much importance to energy because fragrant flowers can attract butterflies. What kinds of structures can attract what kinds of energy toward them naturally? We know that all structures are the products of consciousnesses, so we do not need to emphasize structures too much. The kind of consciousness we have decides the kind of corresponding structure that we will have. Unify all thoughts and all beliefs into the Greatest Creator’s will and all religions into one uniform belief system; this is the “one” consciousness. The universe has consciousness, if it did not, then there would not be such a variety of LIFE structures with thousands of postures and an infinite variety of material forms; then what is this consciousness? It is the Greatest Creator! When we find the Greatest Creator, we find the headstream and the core, all problems can be solved effortlessly, the indistinct and misty become bright and clear, the complex becomes simple, darkness morphs into light, the finite expands to the infinite, and misery becomes joy. The core beliefs of Lifechanyuan are to “Revere the Greatest Creator” and to “Take the Way of the Greatest Creator”; this is the path leading to heaven! Those who go against this great path are of heretical sects, and regardless of what of names they take, how dazzling or marvelous their theories sound, how inscrutable their magical powers are, or how many disciples or followers they attract, they are all the superfluous “tumors” growing in the body of humanity that will be eliminated. “Revere the Greatest Creator and Take the Way of the Greatest Creator”; this is the touchstone to determine good from evil, truth from falsity, and beauty from ugliness. Evil and ugly people do NOT revere the Greatest Creator nor take His way; theories and sermons are evil and ugly if they do NOT revere the Greatest Creator nor take His way; States, political parties, religions, or groups are evil and ugly if they do NOT revere the Greatest Creator, nor take His way. Consciousness is nonmaterial and the consciousness of the Greatest Creator manifests itself as “Tao”. The consciousness of the Greatest Creator runs through all tangible and intangible time and space everywhere, including both the material and the nonmaterial world and the positive and the negative universe; this is the genuine God. States of consciousness decide the forms of LIFE and their methods of survival. The “differentiators” of the LIVES of ignorant people, laities, mortals, sages, celestials, goblins, demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters are their types of consciousnesses. Therefore, we must emphasize our consciousnesses during our lives and our emphasis on consciousness must always be on “Revering the Greatest Creator and taking His Way”. Once this key link is grasped, everything else falls into their proper places, we get twice the results with half the effort, and find clear and bright paths to reach splendid goals. We will ultimately accomplish the spiritual state of immortality and attain the LIFE structure of higher-level space and reach the other shore to realize our ideal! I believe that all governments officials, industrial and religious leaders, and company bosses do understand these principles very well.
Thank you for the texts. I used google translate to read the Chinese one. There are more than one ways by which I may interpret the claim that there are eight forces of nature. For, as the text itself emphasised, only the first four are measurable. So I'm not quite sure there has to be a conflict between modern physics and your philosophy. I understand the other four forces as to be metaphrical, which is exactly why they can't be quantised. Without any form of consciousness, I don't believe there would be any universe to begin with, and so our conscious experience of reality is part of reality itself, and not just a mere, imperfect reflection of it. So to incorporate in a complete view of reality, both what may be quantised and what is our qualitative experience of reality, makes sense.
However, that doesn't mean that there is no more work to be done in understanding what may be quantised. This is what physics is, an attempt to explain everything that may be put into the language of mathematics. And the text argued that even if one finds a way to unify the four forces, it would still be an imperfect description of reality. I think a physicist would only disagree with that if he/she actually believed that physics could explain everything, even our conscious experience of ourselves and the world.

Yes, the answer is in Chanyuan Corpus, but one article has not been translated. I paste here the Chinese version so you can translate yourself. another one has been translated. There are 8 forces in the universe, while so far human kind only know 4 of them. That is why the Universal Unified Field theory cannot be established.

You believe in the existence of god? If not, you won't believe in things that can not be measured. |

Looking for your True Self (I)

Who are you and how much of your life do you control: all of it, some of it, any of it? Needless to say, no one can control their lives absolutely. If a person can control just one tenth of their habits, hobbies, behaviours, and words, then they are quite extraordinary.
Eighteen things are beyond people’s control, including their height, appearance, race, ethnicity, environment, era, birth date, birth place, parents, death, and so on. All these things are predestined and no one can do anything about any of them, but what about our habits, usual practices, hobbies, behaviours, words, and so on? Are these self-controllable? Let us look at two specific examples:
· As reported in The World of Unsolved Secrets, a pair of paternal twin brothers were separated from an early age in Ohio, the United States. They meet again after being separated for thirty-nine years only to discover that they both had received legal education and were keen on mechanical drawing and carpentry. Even more surprisingly, their ex-wives had the same first names, as did their their sons, and even their second wives. In addition, both of them vacationed often in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
· A pair of paternal twin sisters had been separated since childhood for more than ten years. They agreed to meet at a train station and one sister temporarily decided to get a hairdo. When they met, she was taken aback, because her sister had also gotten a hairdo. They also wore identical jackets, skirts, shoes, and carried identical purses. Both of them were utterly amazed.
We can draw conclusions about these. Both pairs of siblings had almost identical habits, hobbies, behaviour, and appearances, though they had been separated from early ages. When they did not know that they had twins, everything about them was taken as individual preferences; they had all believed that they controlled their own habits and hobbies until they found that their twins were almost exactly the same. Everything that they believed to be self-determined turned out of to be from invisible consciousnesses rather than their own wills; the habits, hobbies, even the names of their wives and sons had been pre-arranged and predestined.
These cases represent identical twins, but what about the rest of us? What habits and hobbies do we choose for ourselves?
The answer is NONE! Our Habits, practices, hobbies, interests, behaviours, and choice of words are not our own decisions, but controlled by mysterious consciousnesses.
What are these mysterious consciousnesses? They are our true selves. The selves that we believe we are, are not our true selves but a false ones, and our true ones are the mysterious consciousnesses that control our hidden ones behind our appearances. Case in point: a woman's husband was killed in a war; when the bad news came, she grieved and wailed sadly, but her true self cried with joy, “Finally I'm free!”.
Nine people out of ten are pretentious. So, most of the people we face are false, do not talk sincerely, and are hypocrites. We often face cognitive dissonance when our true selves conflict with our false ones. Our false selves tend to be pretentious, to cater to the times, the public, and others; our true selves have nothing to do with them, and that is Tathagata.
How does one find their true self?

Looking for your True Self (II)
Xuefeng
August 5, 2012
(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)
In our real lives, we all play roles defined by our plots, such as government civil servants, judges, police officers, businessmen, teachers, thieves, hooligans, and so on. These are not our true selves, but unconscious roles that have been arranged precisely for everyone according to the conscious needs of the plot, so if someone were to ask who you are and you answered that you are a mechanical engineer, that would be wrong.
Look into a mirror. Do you see yourself? The image that you see has to be wrong because all forms are seen inaccurately; you cannot see yourself by the image of your form. The one in the mirror is not your true self at all, but only a false representation. Compare your images at the ages of eight, eighteen, and forty-eight. They are completely different because they are all illusions; none of them are really you.
Look at the people around you; some are giving impassioned speeches, holding guns tightly, making films, singing and dancing, handling official business, fighting and quarreling, catching thieves, selling goods, and some are preaching. All are just acting and role-playing; none are their true selves but most are biological robots who are running according to their programmed procedures.
Your true self is completely free. When you feel unfree, you are not your real self. You have to go to work on time to make a living, do business to make money, be a police officer to catch bad guys, or do your job according to your superiors. Then, you have to maintain the support of your parents, buy a house and a car, get married, and have children. When you make choices, you have to consider the wishes of your family and others around you and you have to remember traditional ethics and customs. Ultimately, you can never be your true self. You have to consider the expectations, demands, and constraints of the people around you as well as the cultural values and customs that society adheres to. You want to go one way but you have to choose another. If you do not, then you will have too bare guilt and pain within your heart, be angry, assume a feigned manner, pose as a person with high morals, and say words and do things against your will or worse, you will face immediate problems with your food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, illness, and death. So, you would not have been living out your true self, but only playing the role that you have to play according to the program which has been designed as a social plot.
You want to be free in your heart but you must live within constraints because you are trapped within the program; put into the plot. Cattle are driven into sheds, pigs are driven into pens, and people are driven into circles of other people. Those who are supposed to dig holes, dig them; supposed to fly, fly; supposed to be herbivores, graze on grass; supposed to be carnivores, eat meat. All are hard-pressed to escape from the bonds of the Three Realms but can only be bound by the Five Elements. The script requires that ninety-nine percent of the people do not to know the truth because if it were widely known, then the play could not be performed.
A news story reported of a migrant whose wife had affairs at home when he was at work and eventually gave birth to a child. He did not know the truth and raised the child into adulthood, but as the child grew, he developed less and and less like him, so he had a paternity test run. The DNA test result proved that the child was not his and threw him into a whirlpool of pain and trouble. Once the truth was known, a comedy became a tragedy. King Oedipus in ancient Greek mythology and legend married his own mother unknowingly and innocently, and took her as his queen. Had he not learned the truth, he might have enjoyed his warm family, but when they learned it, the queen killed herself out of shame while Oedipus blinded himself and went into exile.
Once a truth is learned, its consequences can be terrible. What would you do if you learned that you had protected something that you should have destroyed or that you had tried to ruin something that you should have been grateful for? It would be useless at that moment, even if the pain and repentance broke your heart. A pig could not live for even a day if it knew that the reason it was bred in captivity was to be slaughtered for food. If ninety-nine percent of humans knew who they really were, then our whole social system and order would collapse and the human world as we know it would no longer exist.
How do we find our true selves?

It's very nice to me hearing that I look like some kind of old movie character. I'd like to, because one of my best genres of movie is noir. I like all those detective stories, and investigations.
