Chapter 53 live in awe

There are various theories about where the soul goes after a person dies. Whether it is Christ, Sakyamuni, or Confucius, they all understand it, but they can’t explain it to everyone in words, so they always use metaphors. Talk about going to heaven.Heaven is very good, but it is definitely not the body that goes to heaven, but only the soul. People's earliest descriptions of heaven do not seem to exclude the flesh and sensual desires too clearly. The Garden of Eden in the Bible is not a place where souls go, but a place where living people are driven out.It is full of fruits, honey, etc., and it is the most abundant place to satisfy the desires of the senses.Adam and Eve ate the apple they shouldn't eat, knew the shame, got rid of their innocence, committed the original sin, and were kicked out.But it describes it more specifically than any religion, saying that after a good person dies, there are many beautiful angels around to support you, and slowly entrust you to heaven.Paradise is like a garden, like a five-star hotel, and the satisfaction it brings is the greatest dream of the living.

Heaven is actually the highest imagination of human beings for happiness. Because it is too perfect, it does not exist in the real world. The living cannot go there, only after death.This is one of my thoughts, but I have another. Sometimes, I feel that heaven is actually around us, not far from us, but it is not easy for us to find it.There is a novel in England about people living in a two-dimensional flat world.The people here are living a good life. Those with greater ability are a big circle, those with less ability are a small circle, and those with less ability are a dot.Some people have other shapes, for example, a poet is a triangle, and an entrepreneur is a rhombus.All kinds of people can be distinguished very clearly in life, because as soon as you see a person's shape, you know what he does.Suddenly one day, a point appeared on the two-dimensional plane. It was not surprising for people who started here, but it was a bit strange that this point would change.This point becomes bigger and bigger, and when it becomes the largest, it begins to shrink slowly, and finally shrinks to a point and disappears.People on the two-dimensional plane never know that this strange phenomenon is because a three-dimensional world ball has come to their world.When the sphere touches the two-dimensional plane, it naturally becomes larger and then gradually smaller. When the three-dimensional sphere passes through the two-dimensional plane, it disappears.People in the two-dimensional world will never understand things in the three-dimensional world.We are people living in the three-dimensional world, and we can laugh at people in the two-dimensional world, but what if we meet someone who is more advanced than us?Can we understand?Einstein invented a world called three-and-a-half-dimensional, and now scientists say there are as many as nine-dimensional worlds, and "Transformers" is the most powerful, saying that there is a twenty-seven-dimensional world.

Sometimes disappearing is not necessarily really disappearing, but we can't see it and can't understand it.After death, consciousness disappears, where does the soul go?Maybe it's right next to you, in another dimension. Behind our world, there must be a power higher than us, otherwise where does our wisdom come from?No matter how advanced medicine is, the prosthetic hand produced is not as sensitive as the hand of a child born by a woman.And our care, happiness, love, etc., how did these things come from?There must be a force behind it that creates this thing, and this force is everywhere.

Humans will never understand the great creative power, because you are also created by this great creative power.We are only a part of God's creation, and as created beings, it is impossible to understand the Creator.Just as man made a table, the table can never understand man's wisdom.Highly intelligent things create low-intelligent things, and low-intelligence things cannot understand high-intelligence things.But we can understand or come close to understanding it through some means and methods, such as silence and meditation are the ways to understand this creative power.Some features of this creativity can also be understood in the light of music, poetry, literature, and architecture.

This Kingdom of the Creator is so powerful that even if you have a little money or a little power, you are small and unworthy of mention in this kingdom.You are the work of this great Creator, don't mess yourself up, settle yourself in awe. what is godGod is the force that drives creation, development and evolution behind the myriad worlds.Almost all religions anthropomorphize God, portraying him as a bearded old man who looks like a human being. The "Bible" said that people are stupid, so Jesus used parables to make people understand the truth.In addition to metaphors, Christianity and Buddhism also make extensive use of symbols, using "images" to convey esoteric teachings that are difficult to express in words.The image of the crucifixion of Jesus is the most classic shape in our cultural treasure house, and its appeal is immeasurable.However, using images to convey teachings can sometimes easily make people talk about mountains and fall into the confusion of idol worship, so the prophets repeatedly asked people to see the essence through appearances.The Buddhist "Diamond Sutra" constantly exhorts people not to be attached to form, because of this worry.

Using anthropomorphism, symbols, and metaphors to promote teachings makes it easier for newcomers to understand, just as children's books anthropomorphize wind, trees, animals, and plants, making it easier for young minds to understand.People can feel the power of the Creator, but cannot fully understand it, let alone control it.We must be especially careful of those who think they can fight against the earth. Under this pride, human beings have nuclear weapons and use them recklessly, so that human beings have not yet recovered from the destructive shock of atomic bombs.It has been decades since the atomic bomb was made, and it is still a big problem, and people still haven't found a way to properly install it.

What kind of attitude we hold towards things we don't understand is also very important. In the end, we must have a sense of awe.In China, we are used to calling the Creator "Heaven" and "God", which may be closer to and reflect the essence of God than other specific names in the West.Who is God?We will not know, because unknowability is one of the characteristics of God.We call it "Jesus," simply expressing the awe we should have.
