    first, thank you for all your replies, I love you...lol

    I laugh with tears when reading Merkaba360's reply. I am also sharing your reply with Guide Xuefeng. If he doesn't give me any answer, I will use my way to reply you.

    But not now, because, today I will take a surgery of my breast.

    I will reply all your posts when I am fine.

    Thank you for all your kind attention.

    THanks for you responses Xidaijena,

    One thing to know is that I don't think you challenge our values as westerners. The people on this forum are quite conscious rebels who have spent decades challenging our own systems, cultures, values, etc. As well as much of the rest of the world too. So, in general, we could care less about where ideas come from, we are critical thinkers of what works.

    We have been trying to think up EVERY possible way to solve the problems we are discussing on this thread and the forum. Its great to have "communes" creating different ways of living that are more harmonious and peaceful. Maybe many can be built around the world and have some positive influence.

    As Doug and I said, we understand what he this Xuefang is doing because we have similar communities like this as well for many decades. But, the model doesn't fit most people. If they could go live there and have lots of abundance and work little, then maybe this could change more people to want to join.

    Just look at the guidelines you shared:

    1. There is no marriage and no family. Also there is no currency within the community.
    - This one is a huge NO for 70% of the population maybe. Although it could very well be changing.

    2. Love is free, but there is no sexual promiscuity or venereal disease.
    - Yea humans cant really control sex and disease. Pretty sure this is a fantasy for young people at least. Love is free? Isnt it always free? If its romantic love is free, then I'd love to see someone convince all the women of that. lol

    3. Nobody has personal belongings. Everything belongs to the community and everyone is selfless.
    - 80% of Egoic self-centered people would have to be screened and banned from joining the commune.

    4. Illness is reduced to the minimum and the average expenditure on medical care is less than ¥200RMB per person, per year.
    - THen they must have hospitals in the commune. Those machines are expensive.

    5. Every member relocates to a new facility every three years to avoid aesthetic fatigue, forming cliques, or being trapped into relationships.
    - Very few people in the world will except leaving the people they love.

    6. There are no rules and no discipline with punishment. We comply only with the natural and civilization Tao.
    - You will need Lao Tzu to decide who joins, there sure are a lot of humans who need discipline. lol

    7. We are self-sufficient. We are not supported from the outside world nor do we need to be. We do not take capitalists’ wealth.
    - So, you build your own CPU's and computers? Or you don't use technology?


    That's some of the problems. Again, its a niche market. MOST Humans will NOT go for this and will thus support the machine which will soon become their enemy.

    Please understand, that we get the idea. These communities, because they are small and full of the people who like that kind of life, can be a better place than living in the city.

    Thank you for your detailed and not sharp reply, dear Merkaba360.

    "One thing to know is that I don't think you challenge our values as westerners.

    you words make me simle a lot. Indeed, your thinkings are quite different from the Chinese people I know.

    Quote "1. There is no marriage and no family. Also there is no currency within the community.
    - This one is a huge NO for 70% of the population maybe. Although it could very well be changing."
    LOL, indeed, but I don't know why there are many guys contacting me because they don't like marriage and family duty. No currency is my wish and present dream. I hate money now.
    Quote "2. Love is free, but there is no sexual promiscuity or venereal disease.
    - Yea humans cant really control sex and disease. Pretty sure this is a fantasy for young people at least. Love is free? Isnt it always free? If its romantic love is free, then I'd love to see someone convince all the women of that. lol"
    yes, love is free, because there is no currency in the community. no body has the power to control anybody. Women have high state in our community. Lady is always first. When we enjoy love and romantic sex, we also need to protect ourselves.

    Quote "3. Nobody has personal belongings. Everything belongs to the community and everyone is selfless.
    - 80% of Egoic self-centered people would have to be screened and banned from joining the commune."
    So there are still 20% people wanting to join...lol

    Quote "4. Illness is reduced to the minimum and the average expenditure on medical care is less than ¥200RMB per person, per year.
    - THen they must have hospitals in the commune. Those machines are expensive."
    No hospital, but we just try our best to perfect our soul and then ill less.

    Quote "5. Every member relocates to a new facility every three years to avoid aesthetic fatigue, forming cliques, or being trapped into relationships.
    - Very few people in the world will except leaving the people they love."
    No, when you meet more and more lovers, you will surely leave and happily go to other branches. Love and Sex are nice attraction.

    Quote "6. There are no rules and no discipline with punishment. We comply only with the natural and civilization Tao.
    - You will need Lao Tzu to decide who joins, there sure are a lot of humans who need discipline. lol"
    we have 800 values and Xuefeng's articles, we know what shall do or not.

    Quote "7. We are self-sufficient. We are not supported from the outside world nor do we need to be. We do not take capitalists’ wealth.
    - So, you build your own CPU's and computers? Or you don't use technology?"
    we only accept chanyuan members supports.

    if people were honest, respectful, fair, caring, generous and concerned for others, if they treated others as they themselves wanted to be treated then any number of systems of collective living could work.
    Even people of god and atheists would do unto others the same
    The problem is people can't be always honest. and so that people needs the good life program to control or cultivate.

    This discussion on political systems can also be seen from a spiritual perspective. We come from one source of conscious energy some call God. We choose to experience individual separation from that one. Thus, it seems to me it would be natural for us to gravitate to systems that either present individualism (capitalism) or Communism (collectivism). Unfortunately, both those systems have been manipulated and inverted by negative polarity individuals. This leaves us confused because we came to this dimension to experience extreme separation and individuation, thus communism seems completely antithetical to that aim. On the other hand, the goal of individuation is to gain experience and photonic energy and merge back to source. Thus, communism has an appeal to us. However that system of governance stifles our development and suffocates individual expression. It’s important IMO not to glorify communism since many here have experienced the inversion of Capitalism and to remember that communisms inversion has resulted in horrific atrocities and lack of soul growth for many. Those voices don’t even get to participate in forms like this to testify to truth of that assertion. Anarchy is not chaos but self-governance and learning to live collectively while governing oneself individually. A compromise in IMO.

    wow, the video you shared scares me a little. i don't like that kind of communism.

    but i do agree with you that" Anarchy is not chaos but self-governance and learning to live collectively while governing oneself individually. "

    ANY 'system' that deprives the Individual of FREE WILL goes against Universal Law... and that also implies that Coercion, or control via Omission by ANY means, is also contrary to Universal Law.

    No matter how you label a particular system of control, it is Still 'control'. HOW control is 'maintained' is the key factor.

    Is the control via the fully informed FREE WILL of ALL the participants, or via the dictates of a Few?

    I offer this book as a means by which one may learn about various 'systems', and understand what is meant by 'Universal Law'... (see pages 108 / 109 for this aspect)

    Only 184 pages, but FULL of KNOWLEDGE you won't find Anywhere else.

    Each of us is an Infinite Spirit having a brief Experience in what we call 'physical reality'.

    FREE WILL is a Core Aspect of our Spirit and with which we are endowed by our Creator.

    I'm not suggesting that capitalism is any better than communism... the primary problem of money is that it creates 'haves' and 'have nots'...

    In point of fact, Thiaoouba makes the central point that monetary systems are the Root Cause for virtually ALL of humanity's past and current problems.

    That said, ALL political systems currently employ this issue of money, and the basic problem of have vs have-not can, and is, exacerbated by dictatorial control systems. We currently see this played out in the US political system where politicians use their positions to illegally reap financial gains that are forbidden to the average person. And the same goes for all political systems for we see this same problem occurring in communistic and socialistic countries.

    After watching the video on the 'dark origins of communism', I found a longer version that more accurately describes communism as it is practiced on this planet...

    Hi Friends,

    What I find most interesting when I see a discussion about communism is that the people who are most vocal against it have no personal experience with it, by that I mean they don't now and haven't ever lived in a communist country.

    It's ridiculous really, most of the perceptions of it they have are from other people (politicians and news channels) who also don't have any personal experience with it, and who tend to lie and twist facts as they see fit.

    Are there bad sides to it, yes absolutely. Are there good sides to it, again yes absolutely. Just like in any other system made by people. People dislike communism because of some bad actions of certain individuals. Well, look at the western world now? It's complete ****, and there is no communism there, it's all thanks to the glorious capitalism and democracy. Democracy today, btw, is a complete scam and has absolutely nothing to do with original Greek democracy (peoples rule).

    Country where my parents and grandparents lived was a communist country, Yugoslavia. It was one of the best countries to live in at that time. Almost all members of older generations have only good things to say about that country and those times. There was almost no corruption, at least compared to today. Everybode had jobes, and even people without a job could live, the country supported them. Half of the roads were built for free, willingly, by people. You could lay down to sleep in the darkest street or park in the city, and it wouldn't even cross your mind that you could get robbed or killed etc.

    The only people who had anything bad to say about communist Yugoslavia were lazy people, thiefs and scammers.

    Kind regards..

    As per my previous posts (above) it doesn't matter whether the political system is capitalistic, socialistic, or communistic. The main problem on our world today is that ALL these systems use 'money' which, in and of itself, creates 'haves' and 'have-nots'. This creates division and leads to a few feeling 'superior' to their fellow countrymen.

    Add to this corruptive brew, a populace almost completely detached from any true understanding of their individual and collective Spiritual Divinity endowed by the Creator. This is why we see so much division, strife, and hatred between individuals and countries.

    Here's an excerpt from Thiaoouba Prophecy with some explanation both before and after...

    Thao, Michel DesMarquet’s mentor during his visit to Thiaoouba, was explaining how the ‘political system’ in Lemuria operated, and described a system that was devoid of any ‘politics’ or ‘parties’, the people recognizing that as soon as you have a system with opposing ‘viewpoints’, you automatically create a system that fights against itself, to the detriment of the people and leads to corruption, particularly when a monetary system is involved.

    Their system was exactly along the lines depicted in ‘The Green Beautiful’ (a French movie from the 90's), where each small community, by a show of hands, ‘elected’ their local representative – this representative had to be over the age of 60, and was well respected by the majority in the community for their even-mindedness, temperament and commitment to the community. This system was then extended between communities (like a ‘county’ system), gradually moving up to a ‘state’, and then the nation as a whole. Thus, only those people who had the temperament, experience and trust of the people, and truly had the best interest of the country, would rise to leadership positions. Since there were no monetary incentives involved, then the system worked exceedingly well.

    From the book:
    (Thao); “The only solution [to counter a political system as on Earth] is to follow the example of the government of Mu. This it place as the head of state a leader whose unique goal is the well being of the people – a leader not motivated by false pride or parties – and the resentment, the grudges, the hatred that go with them, and to hold out your hand to your neighbor – to accept him and work with him, regardless of differences you may have. He is after all, in the same boat with you, Michel. He is a part of the same village, the same town, the same nation, the same planet.”
    Thao continued: “What is the house which shelters you made of, Michel?”
    (Michel) “Of bricks, of wood, tiles, plaster, nails…”
    (Thao) “Indeed, and what are those materials made of?”
    (Michel) “Atoms, of course.”
    (Thao) “Perfect. Now these atoms, as you know, have to connect very closely in order to form a brick or any other building material. What would happen if these atoms repelled each other instead of combining as they do?”
    (Michel) “Disintegration.”
    (Thao) “And there we are. When you push away your neighbors, your son, or your daughter – if you aren’t always ready to help even those whom you don’t like, you contribute to the disintegration of your civilization. And this is what is happening on Earth more and more, through hate and violence.”

    Thao then goes on to describe the dangers of the depiction of violence in all forms of media and how the use of violence to foment political change and control is self-defeating, giving examples such as Napoleon and Hitler, ultimately describing how the media is promoting Great harm to the people by using increasingly violent images in the news and ‘entertainment’, and describing the psychological effects on individuals and the nation as a whole.

    Humanity's biggest problem, after money, is breaking the cycle of violence, which begins in the mind. Violence begets violence. Here's an excerpt from 'Seth Speaks';

    “It is wrong to curse a flower and wrong to curse a man. It is wrong not to hold any man in honor, and it is wrong to ridicule any man. You must honor yourselves and see within yourselves the spirit of eternal vitality. If you do not do this, then you destroy what you touch. And you must honor each other individual also, because in him is the spark of eternal vitality.”

    “When you curse another, you curse yourselves, and the curse returns to you. When you are violent, the violence returns… I speak to you because yours is the opportunity [to better world conditions] and yours is the time. Do not fall into the old ways that will lead you precisely into the world that you fear.”

    “When every young man refuses to go to war, you will have peace. As long as you fight for gain and greed, there will be no peace. As long as one person commits acts of violence for the sake of peace, you will have war. Unfortunately, it is difficult to imagine that all the young men in all of the countries will refuse to go to war at the same time. And so you must work out the violence that violence has wrought. Within the next hundred years that time may come. Remember, you do not defend any idea with violence.”

    “There is no man who hates but that that hatred is reflected outward and made physical.
    And there is no man who loves but that that love is reflected outward and made physical.”

    In Unity Peace and LOVE

    Sorry to reply you late, dear Kindred. I saw your reply just now. For your question, maybe you can get something from the article as below:

    “生命禅院个性与共性的统一性
    The Unity Between Individuality and Generality in Lifechanyuan

    Xuefeng


    我以千年界仙人社会的生活状态来谈生命禅院第二家园个性与共性的统一性。
    I will take the example of celestial being's life in Thousand-Year World to talk about the unity between individuality and generality of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life) in Lifechanyuan.

    没有个性,一片苍白,如果百花园里只盛开一种花卉,单调乏味,若万紫千红,百花齐放,才姹紫嫣红,一片锦绣。每一位禅院草,都应该有个性,有自己独特于其他禅院草的特性,对此,我们应该维护,应该支持,应该容纳, 决不能期望大家都像自己一样,决不能用自己的习惯和价值观要求或挑剔他人,决不能用自己认为正确的标准去束缚他人或对他人指手画脚。

    Without individuality, life would be pallid. If a garden is overgrown with only one kind of flowers, it will be boring and monotonous; if it is a riot of colors with countless flowers in full bloom, the garden will then be lively and splendid. Every Chanyuan celestial should have individuality, must have characteristics distinct from other Chanyuan celestials. And we should protect, support, accommodate such individualities. We should not expect others to be exactly like ourselves. We should not set down requirements for others or find fault with others on the basis of our own habits and values, we should not bind others up or make indiscreet criticisms of others with standards that we ourselves think are correct.

    没有共性,一盘散沙,无序混乱,就会相互冲突,相互摩擦,能量会内耗。不仅难以获得开心快乐,自由幸福的生活,更无法展示出自己的个性,苦恼会增多,麻烦会接连不断地产生,久而久之,会演变成世俗社会,演变成动物 世界,演变成地狱。
    Without generality, everything will be in a state of disunity like a sheet of loose sand, and chaos and confusion will reign supreme. It will be easy for us to get into conflict, and friction, and energy will be exhausted by internal strife. Thus it will be difficult for us to achieve joy, happiness, freedom and blessing, and accordingly it will be even more difficult for us to demonstrate our individuality. As a result, we will have more afflictions, and run into one after another trouble. With the passage of time we may slide into the secular world, the animal world and until into hell.

    共性中要体现个性,个性中要展现共性,只有共性和个性完美统一,才能获得既有统一意志,又有个人心情舒畅,生动活泼,生机勃勃的生活局面。

    Generality should embody individuality, and individuality should embrace generality. Only with the perfect unity between generality and individuality, can we guarantee a vigorous and dynamic life in which there is both uniform will and pleasant feelings of individuals.

    共性要包含个性,不允许个性存在的共性是不人道的,是残忍的,是专制独裁的,生命禅院自始至终要防范这一点。当个性与共性发生矛盾冲突时,个性要让位于共性,不遵从共性的个性是独断专行不道德的,是一种极端,有损 于集体,是心灵被扭曲的一种标志,是一种病态,是生命的反物质结构残缺的标志。

    Generality should accomodate individuality. Generality that does not allow the existence of individuality is inhuman, cruel, despotic and dictatorial. Lifechanyuan should consistently be on guard against this trend. When individuality gets into conflict with generality, individuality should give way to generality. The individuality that does not conform to generality is a law onto itself, is immoral and radical, and will do harm to the collective. Such individuality is a morbidity that reflects a distorted soul and indicates the deformity of nonmaterial structure.
    千年界仙人们之所以活得比人间的人开心快乐,自由幸福,关键在于其共性和个性的高度完美统一。共性和个性越少冲突和矛盾,其生活的质量就越高,每个人活得越有滋有味,自由度反而越高。共性与个性之间矛盾冲突越多, 生活的质量越低,生命的品质越差,每个人的苦恼和麻烦也越多。


    The reason that people in the Thousand-Year World live a more joyful and pleasant, and freer and more blessed life than people in the human world is because of the perfect unity between individuality and generality. The fewer conflicts and contradictions there are between generality and individuality, the better the quality of life will be, the more interesting a life everyone will have, and the greater the freedom will be. The more conflicts and contradictions there are between generality and individuality, the lower the quality of life will be, the poorer the character of LIFE will be, and the more afflictions and troubles everyone will have.

    人类社会的共性主要靠宪法、法律法规、军队、警察等维护,没有这些强制措施,人类社会就会一片混乱,一团糟,就会弱肉强食,大鱼吃小鱼,小鱼吃虾米,就会按照动物世界的丛林法则来演绎。


    The generality of human society is maintained mainly through constitutions, laws and statutes, army, and police. Without these compulsory measures, human society will be plunged into confusion and chaos and will be governed by law of the jungle existing in the animal world, by which the strong prey upon the weak.
    生命禅院的共性主要靠禅院理念来维护,不需要宪法和法律法规,不需要军队和警察,完全靠禅院理念下心灵的同频共振来实现,完全靠每个人的自觉自愿来实现,不能用强制手段,不能设立强制措施。

    The generality of Lifechanyuan is maintained mainly through Lifechanyuan values. No constitution, laws and statutes, or army and police are needed. The generality is realized completely by the same-frequency resonance of soul under Lifechanyuan values, and completely by everyone's free will and volition. No compulsory and mandatory measures shall be employed.

    每一位修行修炼想去更加美好空间生活的人,必须明白共性与个性的完美统一性,既要保持个性,又要遵守共性,任何过分强调个性的人,永远到达不了生命的高层空间,越彰显个性的地方,越远离天堂,越靠近地狱,同样,越 强调共性,扼杀个性的地方,也越远离天堂,越靠近地狱。

    Everyone who conducts self-refinement and self-cultivation in order to live in the better spaces of LIFE must have a good understanding of the perfect unity between generality and individuality, and must maintain individuality and at the same time conform to generality. Anyone who places excessive emphasis on individuality can never reach the higher spaces of LIFE. The more individuality a place emphasizes, the farther it is from the paradise and the closer it is to hell; in the same way, the more generality a place emphasizes and the more individuality it strangles, the farther it is from the paradise and the closer it is to hell.
    每一个人必须明确这么一点,人类社会是强调个性的地方,你来自于人类社会,所以,你天生地想彰显个性,想维护个性,而无视共性,当你的个性得不到彰显的时候,你会苦恼,你会愤怒,你会产生仇恨报复心理,你会虐待他 人,同时也会虐待自己,甚至会自杀。所以,作为人类社会的一员,我们天生地心理残缺,我们生命的反物质结构天生不完美。


    Everyone should understand that human society is a place that emphasizes individuality. You come from human society, so it is only natural that you want to fully exhibit and maintain your individuality. However, if you don't pay attention to generality and cannot fully display your individuality, you will be distressed, you will be furious, and you will be revengeful. You will mistreat others as well as yourself, and you will even kill yourself. Thus, as a member of human society, we are innately psychologically deformed, and innately handicapped in the nonmaterial structure of our LIFE.

    哪怎么办?
    集体生活是最佳的修道场,必须要融入集体生活中修炼自己,把不适合共性的个性像修剪树枝那样修剪掉。当一个人独处的时候,当一个人单身的时候,当一个人生活在世俗家庭中的时候,你或许会自我感觉非常良好,你觉得你 很完美,你处处正确,但当你融入集体的时候,你的缺陷和不足就会暴露出来,你会格格不入,你难以与大家友好和谐地相处,你会给大家带来苦恼,你会认为大家不爱你,不关心你,不照顾你,发生这种情况时,问题不在于集 体,而在于你自身。


    Then what should we do?

    Collective life is the best venue to cultivate the way. We must cultivate and refine ourselves by blending ourselves into the collective life, and get rid of the individuality that does not conform to generality in the same way as we prune the superfluous branches from a tree. When you live alone, when you are single, when you live in the secular family, you may feel wonderful, you may feel you are perfect and flawless; however, once you live in the collective, you will have your defections and deficiencies exposed, you will feel completely incompatible with the collective life, you will find it difficult to get along with people harmoniously, you will cause distress to others, and you will feel that others do not love you and do not care for you. When such things happen, you should find problems in yourself instead of in the collective.

    比如,当大家都欢乐的时候,你要休息睡觉,然后埋怨大家制造了噪音,吵了你,这就是你的不对,你的个性没有融入共性之中。但是,当大家休息睡觉的时候,你又想欢乐,又吵又闹,这同样是你的不对。

    For example, when everyone is having a good time but you choose to go to sleep and then complain that others have made noises and interrupted you, that's where you have gone wrong, because your individuality is not incorporated into the generality. On the other hand, you are equally wrong when everyone else is having a rest but you choose to have some fun and make a lot of noise.
    或许有人会问:我不愿融入集体,也不给大家带来苦恼麻烦,我只修好自己,我只去自己向往的地方,难道不行吗?

    Maybe someone would ask, I do not want to be a part of the collective, and I do not cause distress and troubles to other people, I only concentrate myself on my own cultivation, and I only go to the place that I yearn for, isn't that permissible?

    行!生命的道路千万条,生命存在的空间无限广阔,你有什么样的意识,就能去什么样的生命存在空间,但是,你去不了天堂,天国里没有天马行空独来独往的地方,即使仙岛群岛洲,你可以随心所欲,但依然要遵循仙岛群岛洲 的共性,要与集体往来,你要与任何一位仙和平共处,你无法像人间一样只选择与几个好友往来而无视其他人。


    Yes, it's permissible. The space for LIFE is infinitely expansive, and whatever consciousness you may and you will go to the corresponding space for LIFE. But you cannot go to the paradise, because in the paradise there is no place for a lonely ranger. Even if you can do whatever you want in Celestial Island Continent, you must still follow the generality of Celestial Island Continent, you must associate with the collective, you must live peacefully with any celestial being, you should not behave as in the human world, getting along well with only a few good friends you have choosen but ignore others.
    你即使是一颗恒星,也必须在一个星系中存在,必须遵守星系的共性,否则,只能走向灭亡。


    Even if you are a star, you must exist in a galaxy, and you must observe the generality of the galaxy, otherwise you will be doomed.
    越是强调个性的人,苦恼和麻烦越多,对社会和集体的破坏力越大,自身越寂寞孤独,心灵越容易扭曲,心态越不健康。



    The more one stresses individuality, the more distress and trouble they will have, the greater destruction they will bring to society and collective, the more lonely and solitary they will feel, the more easily their soul will be distorted, and the more abnormal mentality they will have.

    个性与共性矛盾冲突越少的人,越开心快乐,心情越宁静,越容易修成仙道佛道;个性与共性矛盾冲突越大的人,轻者,会修成魑魅魍魉,重者,会修成妖魔鬼怪。


    The less conflicts and contradiction a person suffers in individuality and generality, the more pleasant and happier they will be, the more serene a mind they will have, and the more likely they will achieve the spiritual state of a celestial being and Buddha. A person who suffers greater conflicts and contradiction between generality and individuality will become devils, monsters and demons.

    宇宙的共性是道,道的核心是上帝,敬畏上帝,走上帝之道,就是将自己的个性与宇宙的共性完美和谐地统一了起来。只有将个性与宇宙共性完美和谐统一起来的人,才是头脑清醒的人,才有光明的前程,背弃了这个大原则,大 方向,无论怎么修,都不会有美好前程。

    The generality of the universe is Tao, the core of Tao is the Greatest Creator. Worshipping the Greatest Creator and following his way means the perfect and harmonious unity between your own individuality and the universe's generality. Only people who have harmoniously and perfectly united their individualities and the universe's generality are clear-headed people and can have a bright prospect. If you have deviated this general principle and direction, you will not have a beautiful prospect no matter how much effort you have made for your own cultivation.
    人类社会的共性是名利,凡一切为名为利的,不论采取什么方式,都是与人类社会的共性相一致的,违背了人类社会的这个共性,人生的路就会艰难,会处处受挫,会苦恼无穷。所以,作为人,应该求名求利,这样,就是将自己 的个性与人类社会的共性结合了起来,你人生的路会相对通畅,自由度会大。

    The generality of human society is fame and gain. Every pursuit of fame and gain, by whatever means, is compatible with the generality of human society. And any departure from this generality of human society will cause great difficulty, setbacks, and endless distresses and troubles for one's life. Therefore, as a man, one should pursue fame and gain, and in this way one can combine his own individuality with the generality of human society and thus will have a relatively smooth and free life.

    动物社会的共性是弱肉强食满足欲望,如果一个人活着仅仅是为了满足自己的欲望,且用弱肉强食的丛林法则方式,那么,你是将自己的个性与动物世界的共性有机地统一了起来,你虽然外表像一个人,但你的意识是动物意识, 你的来世就可以到动物世界。

    The generality of animal society is the strong preying upon the weak to satisfy desire. If a person lives only to satisfy his own desire and follows the law of the jungle, then he has organically unified his own individuality with the generality of human society. Outwardly you are a man, but inwardly you only have the consciousness of an animal, and you will go to the animal world in future life.

    生命禅院的共性是仙道,凡追求开心、快乐、自由、幸福生活,向往千年界、万年界、极乐界仙岛群岛洲,并热情地参与为人类开创生命禅院时代的人,就是将自己的个性与生命禅院的共性完美和谐地统一起来的人 。


    The generality of Lifechanyuan is the way of celestial being. Anyone who seeks joy, happiness, freedom, and blessing, looks forward to Thousand-Year World, Ten-Thousand-Year World, and Celestial Island Continent of the Elysium World, and enthusiastically involves himself in pioneering the era of Lifechanyuan is a person who has perfectly and harmoniously united his own individuality with the generality of Lifechanyuan.

    人人有个性,处处有共性,强盗集团有强盗集团的共性,黑社会集团有黑社会集团的共性,蜜蜂蚂蚁王国有蜜蜂蚂蚁王国的共性,狼群狐狸群有它们所共同遵循的共性,物以类聚,人以群分,无论在哪个群体中,只有那些将自己 的个性与其集体的共性完美和谐统一起来的生命,才会获得最大的收获。


    Everyone has his individuality. And generality exists everywhere. Gangsters have gangster's generality, criminal syndicates have their own generality, bees and ants have their own generality, and wolf packs and fox flocks have also their own generalities. Birds of a feather flock together. No matter in what community, only those that can perfectly and harmoniously unite their own individualities with the generality of their collective can reap the greatest benefit.

    生命禅院的禅院草是要去往仙界的,所以,禅院草一定要将自己的个性与禅院理念的共性完美和谐地统一起来,如此,就可以在最短的时间内完成自己生命的升华,破茧而出,羽化成天仙,前往仙岛群岛洲。

    Chanyuan celestials in Lifechanyuan are going to the Celestial being's world, so Chanyuan celestials should perfectly and harmoniously unite their individuality with the generality of Chanyuan values. In this way, they can accomplish the sublimation of their LIFE within a short time, and achieve the state of celestial being and move toward Celestial Island Continent.

    My opinion: From the whole universe, we can tell that there are laws existing.
    No way of eternal freedom.
    As a human being, we are already controlled by our parents, family, our company and society, country.
    Even we die, we still need to be controlled by the law of Karma.
    FREE WILL is only for heavenly beings not for us.
    Hope you can understand what I mean.

    Default Re: Only Communism Can Save Mankind

    Quote Posted by Kindred (here)
    Each of us is an Infinite Spirit having a brief Experience in what we call 'physical reality'.

    FREE WILL is a Core Aspect of our Spirit and with which we are endowed by our Creator.

    I'm not suggesting that capitalism is any better than communism... the primary problem of money is that it creates 'haves' and 'have nots'...

    In point of fact, Thiaoouba makes the central point that monetary systems are the Root Cause for virtually ALL of humanity's past and current problems.

    That said, ALL political systems currently employ this issue of money, and the basic problem of have vs have-not can, and is, exacerbated by dictatorial control systems. We currently see this played out in the US political system where politicians use their positions to illegally reap financial gains that are forbidden to the average person. And the same goes for all political systems for we see this same problem occurring in communistic and socialistic countries.

    After watching the video on the 'dark origins of communism', I found a longer version that more accurately describes communism as it is practiced on this planet...

    人生的轨迹与自由意志


    The Trajectory and Free Will of Life



    Xuefeng
    ( Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)


    浩瀚的天空中有远远超过地球人数的天体,即星星,每一个星体有自己运行的轨道,每一个星体的运行轨道都是被确定的,不是星体自由选择的。

    There are many times more stars in the sky than people on earth. Each star floats along its own orbit around the galaxy and each orbit is determined and is not its free choice.

    人生也有轨迹,生长衰亡是逃不脱的轨迹,人生18项自身无法管理的事件是人生的轨迹,如果详细研究归纳分析,人生轨迹上的每一个细节都是早已被确定的,包括名字、每一个人人生阶段的脾气性格,会说什么样的话,会做 什么样的事,会遇到什么样的人,会遭遇什么样的不幸,会得什么样的疾病,结局是什么等等,等等都是早已确定的。
    LIFE also has its track: birth, growth, ageing, and death is our inescapable course. Eighteen (18) properties cannot be self-managed within LIFE’s track. If we make a detailed search and analysis, we can see that each detail on LIFE’s track is predetermined, including our name, temperament or character, words and actions, who we will encounter, what we will suffer, what diseases we will succumb to at each stage of life, when the end will come, and so on.

    问题来了,既然人生的轨迹及其细节是早已被确定的,那么,人有没有自由意志?若有,自由意志体现在什么地方?


    Here is the question:

    Since our LIFE trajectory and its details are already predestined, do people have free will or not, and if they do have free will, how then is it manifested?

    人,毫无疑问,具有自由意志,而恰恰是自由意志是造成人生犹豫烦恼痛苦恐惧忧伤的根源所在。宇宙是一,宇宙全息,宇宙是一个大剧本,人类社会发生的一切是宇宙这个大剧本中的一段情节,每一个人,是人生这个大舞台上 的一个个演员,是严格按照事先确定好的剧本情节在演出,在扮演被规定的情节角色。


    There is no doubt that people have free will. It is precisely this free will that causes the hesitation, trouble, agony, fear, and sadness in life. The universe is one; the universe is holographic; the universe is a big play. Everything that happens in human society is a single episode of the big play of the universe. Everyone is an actor on this big stage of LIFE and performs in strict accordance with a predetermined plot and is playing their role in this prescribed scenario.

    人生的犹豫烦恼痛苦恐惧忧伤等心理感受是由每一个人的自由意志和剧本情节的冲突矛盾导致的,要你扮演一只老鼠,而你的自由意志想扮演大象,要你扮演住茅草房,而你的自由意志要求扮演住五星级宾馆,要你去配合并服务 于某个人,而你却企图让某人配合你为你服务,要你去种菜,而你却期望去制造宇宙飞船,要你去作恶,而你却非要做善等等,等等,这是自由意志在与剧本情节安排相冲突的,每当自由意志与剧本安排相矛盾相冲突的时候,内 心的犹豫、烦恼、痛苦、焦虑、恐惧、担忧、忧伤就开始了,如果自由意志与剧本情节的安排相契合,内心就会平静、喜悦、开心、快乐、幸福,就会感到自由。


    The hesitations, troubles, agonies, fears, sadness, and other psychological feelings in life result from the conflicts and contradictions between each person’s free will and their role in the play. You are asked to play a mouse, but your free will wants you to play an elephant. You are asked to live in a thatched cottage, but your free will wants you to live in a five-star hotel. You are asked to cooperate and serve a certain person, but you attempt to make them cooperate and serve you. You are asked to grow vegetables, but you hope to make a spaceship. You are asked to do good or evil, but you choose to do the opposite, and so on. This is the conflict between your role in the play and your free will. Whenever the arrangement of the play is contradicted by free will, hesitation, trouble, agony, anxiety, fear, worry, and sadness will take over. If your free will agrees with the arrangement of the plot, you will feel peace, joy, happiness, and blessings in your heart and feel free.

    修行修炼的最高境界是要消除我执,做到“无我”,只有放弃我执,达到“无我”境地,能与道合一,与道合一了,就修成正果了。


    The highest realm of self-refinery and self-improvement requires you to eliminate your self-persistence and to become “free from ego”. It is only in this way that you can unite with Tao.

    Then, when you do that, you will attain the spiritual state of an immortal.

    又一个问题又诞生了,既然一切早已注定,人的努力和奋斗有什么价值和意义?


    Here is another question:

    Since everything is predestined, what is the value and meaning of struggling and making efforts?

    首先,所谓的努力和奋斗几乎是无稽之谈,当程序确定,要扮演的角色确定,一个人的所谓努力和奋斗是确定的,也就是说,你不想努力和奋斗是不行的,一系列的事逼着你不得不努力和奋斗,你生命的反物质结构决定的性,性 格脾性逼着你或者说鼓动你不得不努力和奋斗,我自身的状态一直就是这样,不是我想努力和奋斗,而是我的性格和周围发生的事物及其牵连促使我不得不这么做,这就叫“人在江湖,身不由己。”
    First, the so-called struggling and making efforts are barely more than nonsense. When a program is determined, the role to be played is determined and one’s so-called struggles and efforts are determined. That is, you will “have to” struggle and make efforts because a series of things will force you to. It is decided by the nonmaterial structure of your LIFE. Your character and temperament will force or encourage you to struggle and make efforts. This is determined by the self-state. It is not that I want to struggle and make efforts, but my character and the things happening around me and their ramifications prompt me to do so. This is described as, “Many things are not in charge of our hands in this world”.

    人,都向往美好的未来,向往去天堂生活,那么,最终谁能实现自己最美好的理想?既然一切早已注定,个人向往又有什么用?
    Every person yearns for a better future and to go to heaven, so who can eventually achieve their most beautiful dreams? Also, now that everything is predestined, what is the point of personal yearning?

    这就牵扯到宇宙剧本中的某些程序,宇宙剧本中有定数,也有变数,剧本情节是定数,谁去扮演剧本中的人物是变数,扮演得好的,是可以去不断扮演更符合自己自由意志的角色的,比如去天堂扮演,扮演得不好的,将会扮演更 背离自己自由意志的角色,比如去地狱扮演角色。
    This involves some of the programs of the play of the universe. The play of the universe has destiny and variables. The plot of the play is destiny. Who shall play which characters in the play are variables. If you play well, you can constantly play the role more according to your free will, such as to play in heaven. If you play badly, you will play a role more deviated from your free will, such as to play a demon in hell.

    那么,谁去天堂呢?凡按照既定的剧本情节无执无我地扮演好角色的人能去天堂,凡与安排的情节冲突,也就是自我意识强不情愿扮演角色的,就得去地狱了。

    Who then will go to heaven? Anyone who can play the role in accordance with the established plot of the play, free from self-persistence and free from ego will go to heaven, but anyone who has conflicts with the arranged plot, that is whose self-conscious is too strong and is unwilling to play the role, will end up in hell.

    从中我们会发现这样一个奥秘,去天堂还是去地狱,与你扮演的角色毫无关系,而与你是否扮演好角色息息相关。比如法西斯党魁希特勒,从人的角度看,他应当下地狱,而从宇宙剧本情节看,若他对自己扮演的角色演出的很好 ,他反而会去天堂。不管你是扮演皇帝,还是扮演一个小偷,只要你扮演的好,就奖励你去天堂,如果你扮演的不好,就罚你去地狱。
    We can find such a secret from this. Going to heaven or hell has nothing to do with the role you play, but everything with how well you play it. For instance, from most people’s perspective, Adolf Hitler should definitely be in hell, but from the plot of the play of the universe, if he played his part very well, he would be in heaven. No matter what your role is, an emperor or a thief, as long as you play it well, your reward will be to go to heaven. If you do not play it well, you will be doomed to reside in hell.

    那么,如何才能证明自己扮演的是好,还是不好?

    这有一个很简单的验证方法,即:不论是扮演什么角色,不管是受苦受罪的角色,还是享福享乐的角色,不管是叱咤风云的角色,还是平淡无奇的角色,任何时候你能平心静气,且开心喜悦,没有犹豫、没有烦恼、没有痛苦,没 有焦虑,没有担忧,没有恐惧,而是心存感激,那么,就证明你角色扮演的好,反之,就是扮演的不好。


    So, how does one know whether they are playing well or not? Here is a very simple validation method. Namely, no matter what role you play, be it one with much pain and suffering or one that enjoys happiness and pleasure, be it a role to ride the whirlwind or one to suffer the commonplace, if you can stay calm, be happy and joyful, free from hesitation, trouble, agony, anxiety, worry, and fear, but with gratitude, then you have played well. Otherwise, you will have failed the role.

    掌握了佛陀教诲精粹的人明白,我执是阻碍前往极乐世界的最大障碍,我执是因为自己的自由意识太强导致的,凡事都要按照自己的想法和意愿进行,总认为自己有理由,总要坚持自己的观点,总认为自己是对的,这样的人是扮 演不好剧本安排的情节的,这样的人是悲苦的人,是得不到天道奖励的人。
    Those who have mastered the essence of the teachings and instructions of Buddha understand that self-persistence is the biggest obstacle to the Elysium World. Self-persistence is the result of a strong free consciousness. If you do everything according to your own ideas and wishes, if you always believe that yours is a just cause, if you always insist on your own views, if you always know that you are right, then you cannot play the arranged plot of the play very well and you will be miserable and unable to be rewarded with the Tao of heaven.

    随遇而安,随缘而化,随性而动,随机而作是扮演好角色的最佳法门。

    Take things as they are. Associate with others by following your predestined relationships. Acting in accordance with your nature and taking advantage of opportunities is the best way to play the role.

    Chinese version:


    如何运用自由意志
    雪峰


    人是有自由意志的,剧本情节和人物确定的情况下,如何演绎是由人的自由意志决定的。人是做不到与道合一的,与道不合一的地方恰恰是人用了自己的自由意志导致的。人会思考,会权衡利弊,会用心机,会趋吉避凶,这些都 是人的自由意志的体现。人有烦恼、痛苦、焦虑、忧愁、恐惧,而这些感受是意识的感受,这也证明人是有自由意志的,当自由意志与剧本情节和人物安排产生矛盾和冲突的时候,这些感受就诞生了。

    我们去商场采购东西,商场里商品琳琅满目,这时我们就会挑选,而这个挑选的过程就是自由意志充分表现的时候,电视中播放过“相亲”节目,“相亲”的过程就是发挥自由意志挑选的过程。人若没有自由意志,那就纯粹变成 了生物机器人,就不会发生挑选的事件。生活在家园的禅院草应该有这种体验和感受,当你处在一对一状态中时,你对导游的不要搞一对一的要求从内心里反感,甚至觉得自己是对的,导游是错的,但你又不敢正面反抗,一方面 想听从导游的引导,一方面又放不下,因此内心里会产生迷茫和痛苦,这就是自由意志与剧本情节之间的矛盾。

    佛的教诲是“无我”,一个“无我”的人是没有自由意识的,佛的状态是“无我”,若“有我”,那就不是佛。与道合一天人相应的要求是,使自己的自由意志与道的程序和天的规律法则相一致,而不是相抗衡,也就是说,让自 己心甘情愿喜悦开心地与剧本情节和人物安排相契合,演啥像啥,干啥像啥,步步相合,心灵相应。

    执着是人的自由意志的极端表现,要你东,你非要西;要你玩,你非要干;要你动,你非要静;要你脱下,你非要穿上;如此一来,矛盾冲突加剧,苦难灾祸频发。大家可以从周围人群、历史人物、电视剧中的人物中观察归纳, 一定会发现,凡执着的人生活困顿,人生不顺,结局不好。所以佛陀教导我们要“消除我执”。每一个生活在家园的禅院草从个人的体验中也可以发现这个奥秘,当你坚守禅院理念并严格按照导游路线图行走的时候,你会体验到 开心、快乐、自由、幸福,而当你违背禅院理念与导游路线图不一致的时候,会感受到压抑、郁闷、不舒服,享受不到开心和自由,这都是想施展自己的自由意志造成的迷乱。

    “圣人抱一为天下式”,为什么要“抱一”?因为“抱一”了就轻松简单自由快乐,若不“抱一”,不仅步步艰难,且必有祸患。整个宇宙中与上帝“抱一”,在一个国家中与政府首脑“抱一”,在一个群体中与最高权势者“抱 一”,若非要抗衡,只能是鸡蛋碰石头,弄得自己头破血流。“抱一”,就要消除我执,消除我执,就要最大限度地遏制自己与剧情相冲突的自由意志。

    自由意志是上帝赋予的,凡上帝赋予的就要用,不用是不对的,但如何运用呢?

    宇宙大剧本浩繁复杂,只有开了法眼佛眼才能窥见一些奥秘,从历史的长河中看,从几百年几千年的时光中看,从点滴细节中看,从道的特性和演绎法则上看,才能略知一二,人大都是肉眼凡胎鼠目寸光,根本明白不了这个大剧 本在演绎什么,在如何演绎,唯一的康庄大道是:走上帝之道,聆听并遵守神佛仙圣的教诲和引导。靠我们自己的那一点点智慧想弄清楚宇宙真相无异于缘木求鱼,靠我们自己的那点自由意志想找到捷径上天堂无异 于痴人做梦。

    How to use free will
    Xuefeng


    People have free will, and when the plot and characters of the script are determined, how to interpret it is determined by people's free will. Humans cannot achieve unity with Tao, and the inconsistency with Tao is precisely caused by human beings using their own free will. People can think, weigh the pros and cons, use their scheming, and seek good luck and avoid evil. These are all manifestations of human free will. People have troubles, pains, anxiety, sorrow, and fear, and these feelings are conscious feelings, which also proves that people have free will. When there is a contradiction and conflict between free will and the plot of the script and the arrangement of characters, these feelings are born. .

    When we go to the shopping mall to buy things, there are many kinds of goods in the shopping mall, and then we will choose, and this selection process is when the free will is fully expressed. The "blind date" program has been broadcast on TV. The process of "blind date" is to use free will to choose the process of. Without free will, a human being is purely a biological robot, and no events of choice can take place. The Zen garden grass living in the home should have this kind of experience and feeling. When you are in a one-on-one state, you are disgusted with the guide's request not to engage in one-on-one one-on-one, and even feel that you are right, the tour guide is It's wrong, but you don't dare to resist head-on. On the one hand, you want to follow the guidance of the tour guide, but on the other hand, you can't let it go, so you will feel confusion and pain in your heart. This is the contradiction between free will and the plot of the script.

    Buddha's teaching is "no-self". A person with "no-self" has no free consciousness. The state of a Buddha is "no-self". If there is "self", then it is not a Buddha. The corresponding requirement of the Tao He Tianren is to make one's free will consistent with the Tao's procedures and the laws of the heavens, rather than contending with it, that is, to make oneself willingly and joyfully fit with the plot and character arrangements of the script. , Acting like what, doing what it is like, step by step, the heart is corresponding.

    Perseverance is an extreme manifestation of human free will. If you want to be in the east, you must be in the west; if you want to play, you must do it; if you want to move, you must be still; if you want to take it off, you must put it on. Since then, conflicts have intensified, and misery and disasters have occurred frequently. Everyone can observe and summarize from the surrounding people, historical figures, and characters in TV dramas, and you will definitely find that those who are persistent have a difficult life, their life is not smooth, and the ending is not good. So the Buddha taught us to "eliminate ego-clinging". Every Zen garden grass living in the home can also discover this mystery from personal experience. When you stick to the concept of the Zen garden and walk strictly according to the tour guide, you will experience happiness, happiness, freedom, and happiness. When the philosophy of the Chanyuan is inconsistent with the tour guide's route map, one will feel depressed, depressed, uncomfortable, and unable to enjoy happiness and freedom. This is all confusion caused by wanting to exert one's own free will.

    "The sage embraces one for the world", why "hold one"? Because "holding one" is easy, simple, free and happy. If you don't "hold one", it will not only be difficult, but will also lead to disaster. In the whole universe "hold one" with God, "hold one" with the head of government in a country, "hold one" with the most powerful person in a group, if you have to contend, you can only beat the egg against the stone and make your own head. Bloodshed. "Hold one", we must eliminate the ego, and to eliminate the ego, we must maximize our free will that conflicts with the plot.

    Free will is bestowed by God, and whatever is bestowed by God must be used.

    The great script of the universe is vast and complex, and only by opening the eyes of the Buddha can we glimpse some mysteries, from the long river of history, from the centuries and thousands of years, from the details, from the characteristics of the Tao and the laws of deduction Look, you can only know a thing or two. Most people are short-sighted with the naked eye, and they can't understand what and how this big play is interpreting. guide. Relying on our own little bit of wisdom to figure out the truth of the universe is tantamount to begging for fish, and relying on our own little bit of free will to find a shortcut to heaven is tantamount to a fool's dream.

    Quote Posted by XelNaga (here)
    Hi Friends,

    What I find most interesting when I see a discussion about communism is that the people who are most vocal against it have no personal experience with it, by that I mean they don't now and haven't ever lived in a communist country.

    It's ridiculous really, most of the perceptions of it they have are from other people (politicians and news channels) who also don't have any personal experience with it, and who tend to lie and twist facts as they see fit.

    Are there bad sides to it, yes absolutely. Are there good sides to it, again yes absolutely. Just like in any other system made by people. People dislike communism because of some bad actions of certain individuals. Well, look at the western world now? It's complete ****, and there is no communism there, it's all thanks to the glorious capitalism and democracy. Democracy today, btw, is a complete scam and has absolutely nothing to do with original Greek democracy (peoples rule).

    Country where my parents and grandparents lived was a communist country, Yugoslavia. It was one of the best countries to live in at that time. Almost all members of older generations have only good things to say about that country and those times. There was almost no corruption, at least compared to today. Everybode had jobes, and even people without a job could live, the country supported them. Half of the roads were built for free, willingly, by people. You could lay down to sleep in the darkest street or park in the city, and it wouldn't even cross your mind that you could get robbed or killed etc.

    The only people who had anything bad to say about communist Yugoslavia were lazy people, thiefs and scammers.

    Kind regards..

    Quite agree with you, dear XelNaga. Just like those negative information of CCP or Communism shared by onawah, I really want to ask her that DOES SHE KNOW ANYTHING TRUE ABOUT CHINA??? HAVE SHE EVER LIVED IN CHINA BEFORE???

    why so many people like to share their opinions without any realistic experience???

    Only If onawah lived in China for so many years and knows CHINESE CULTURE VERY DEEPLY, I may feel what she shared about CCP or Communism is useful. The fact is that she is without any experience in China and just shares those negative information from GOOGLE.

    I just want to point out that IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO CHINA, PLEASE BE CAREFUL ABOUT YOUR SHARING!

    Quote Posted by Kindred (here)
    As per my previous posts (above) it doesn't matter whether the political system is capitalistic, socialistic, or communistic. The main problem on our world today is that ALL these systems use 'money' which, in and of itself, creates 'haves' and 'have-nots'. This creates division and leads to a few feeling 'superior' to their fellow countrymen.

    Add to this corruptive brew, a populace almost completely detached from any true understanding of their individual and collective Spiritual Divinity endowed by the Creator. This is why we see so much division, strife, and hatred between individuals and countries.

    Here's an excerpt from Thiaoouba Prophecy with some explanation both before and after...

    Thao, Michel DesMarquet’s mentor during his visit to Thiaoouba, was explaining how the ‘political system’ in Lemuria operated, and described a system that was devoid of any ‘politics’ or ‘parties’, the people recognizing that as soon as you have a system with opposing ‘viewpoints’, you automatically create a system that fights against itself, to the detriment of the people and leads to corruption, particularly when a monetary system is involved.

    Their system was exactly along the lines depicted in ‘The Green Beautiful’ (a French movie from the 90's), where each small community, by a show of hands, ‘elected’ their local representative – this representative had to be over the age of 60, and was well respected by the majority in the community for their even-mindedness, temperament and commitment to the community. This system was then extended between communities (like a ‘county’ system), gradually moving up to a ‘state’, and then the nation as a whole. Thus, only those people who had the temperament, experience and trust of the people, and truly had the best interest of the country, would rise to leadership positions. Since there were no monetary incentives involved, then the system worked exceedingly well.

    From the book:
    (Thao); “The only solution [to counter a political system as on Earth] is to follow the example of the government of Mu. This it place as the head of state a leader whose unique goal is the well being of the people – a leader not motivated by false pride or parties – and the resentment, the grudges, the hatred that go with them, and to hold out your hand to your neighbor – to accept him and work with him, regardless of differences you may have. He is after all, in the same boat with you, Michel. He is a part of the same village, the same town, the same nation, the same planet.”
    Thao continued: “What is the house which shelters you made of, Michel?”
    (Michel) “Of bricks, of wood, tiles, plaster, nails…”
    (Thao) “Indeed, and what are those materials made of?”
    (Michel) “Atoms, of course.”
    (Thao) “Perfect. Now these atoms, as you know, have to connect very closely in order to form a brick or any other building material. What would happen if these atoms repelled each other instead of combining as they do?”
    (Michel) “Disintegration.”
    (Thao) “And there we are. When you push away your neighbors, your son, or your daughter – if you aren’t always ready to help even those whom you don’t like, you contribute to the disintegration of your civilization. And this is what is happening on Earth more and more, through hate and violence.”

    Thao then goes on to describe the dangers of the depiction of violence in all forms of media and how the use of violence to foment political change and control is self-defeating, giving examples such as Napoleon and Hitler, ultimately describing how the media is promoting Great harm to the people by using increasingly violent images in the news and ‘entertainment’, and describing the psychological effects on individuals and the nation as a whole.

    Humanity's biggest problem, after money, is breaking the cycle of violence, which begins in the mind. Violence begets violence. Here's an excerpt from 'Seth Speaks';

    “It is wrong to curse a flower and wrong to curse a man. It is wrong not to hold any man in honor, and it is wrong to ridicule any man. You must honor yourselves and see within yourselves the spirit of eternal vitality. If you do not do this, then you destroy what you touch. And you must honor each other individual also, because in him is the spark of eternal vitality.”

    “When you curse another, you curse yourselves, and the curse returns to you. When you are violent, the violence returns… I speak to you because yours is the opportunity [to better world conditions] and yours is the time. Do not fall into the old ways that will lead you precisely into the world that you fear.”

    “When every young man refuses to go to war, you will have peace. As long as you fight for gain and greed, there will be no peace. As long as one person commits acts of violence for the sake of peace, you will have war. Unfortunately, it is difficult to imagine that all the young men in all of the countries will refuse to go to war at the same time. And so you must work out the violence that violence has wrought. Within the next hundred years that time may come. Remember, you do not defend any idea with violence.”

    “There is no man who hates but that that hatred is reflected outward and made physical.
    And there is no man who loves but that that love is reflected outward and made physical.”

    In Unity Peace and LOVE
    For your question about Money, please have a read about below two articles, only in Chinese version, I use Google translation:

    生命禅院的金钱观

    雪峰

    金钱是财富的象征,生命禅院需要财富,需要物质财富、精神财富、心灵财富。

    但是,当金钱转化为货币时,它只是交换流通领域的一种符号,一种媒介物,一种契约,就跟结婚证、身份证、合同等一样,大家认可它,它就代表财富;大家不认可它,它就是一张废纸。货币代表财富,但货币本身不是财富, 当货币代表不了财富时,货币还不如卫生纸,就像2009年的津巴布韦货币那样,百元钞票还抵不上一张卫生纸。

    生命禅院的金钱观是,逐步不要货币,常驻家园的禅院草不接触货币,这一点我们十年前就基本上做到了,家园里只有一位禅院草负责保管货币,采购人员使用货币,其他禅院草基本上不接触货币,于是,禅院草之间再也没有金 钱货币往来,当人与人之间没有了金钱货币的厉害关系时,相处就简单轻松容易了,就格外和谐和睦祥和了,十年来,禅院草之间一直相处亲如一家,亲如兄弟姐妹,亲如知己知音,除了生命品质升华之外,禅院的金钱观也起了 很大的作用。

    目前,因为禅院外部是靠金钱推动一切生产活动的,靠货币实行物资商品交换的,所以禅院不得不拥有货币,不得不拿货币去市场上换来所需用品,但当禅院这种生产和生活模式逐步扩大时,货币将逐步走向消失,比如禅院需要 电,就得交电费,但是,当电站的工作人员成了禅院草,他提供电,其他人给他提供吃穿住行,安排生老病死,如此,电费就不用交了,用电领域再也不用拿货币交换了。再比如禅院草需要衣服,只好拿货币去换来所需衣服,但 当制衣厂的工人们都成了禅院草,他们生产衣服,其他禅院草给制衣厂的禅院草提供所需一切,如此以来,禅院草穿衣服也不需要用货币交换了,以此类推到各行各业,就可以解决全社会的需求,货币就消失了。

    生命禅院的另一个金钱观是,禅院草不向别人借钱,也不借钱给别人。禅院草把自己拥有的一切全交给了家园,家园给每一位禅院草提供所需的一切,于是,谁要向禅院草借钱,对不起,禅院草自身没有一分钱可以借给他人,禅 院草的一切所需由家园提供,当然啦!他也没必要向任何人借钱。这一观念和做法,让人人免除了许许多多的烦恼和痛苦,不再欠债,不再有生活上的压力,与人相处成本很低,“不求人情到处好”嘛!

    没有金钱货币了,贪官也没有了,想贪污没地方贪呀!也没机会贪呀!生活在家园的禅院草没机会接触到钱,怎么贪?即便有机会贪,贪来干什么用?怎么用?有钱你花不出去,上百双眼睛盯着你,而你所需的一切由家园提供了 ,你要钱干嘛用?你想偷偷地给自己买点好吃的好用的?门都没有,如此做了,马上将名誉扫地臭不可闻,在家园将无立足之地。还有,禅院草之间相互不送礼品,相互不能结党营私,其实,你想与某一位结下深交,没用,也没 必要,因为将来有256处家园,最多三年后分别调离到其他分院了,或许从此一辈子再也见不着了,相互结下私交有什么用,还不如跟每一个人保持良好关系的好。

    生命禅院里会不会出现当官的贪污腐化搞排场奢侈浪费的情况?首先,生命禅院里就根本没有当官的,现在最大的官是总院长,其次是分院长,从世俗的角度看,哇呀!院长就是官呀!其实不是那么回事,之所以叫院长,只是附 和一下世俗的称谓,但其实质是,是“总仆长”,是“分仆长”,这个“仆”就是仆人的“仆”,总院长就是生命禅院里奉献付出最多的仆人,分院长就是生命禅院里不仅付出奉献多还对每一位禅院草关爱关心关照最多最贴心的 仆人,请大家想象,这样的“官”会去贪污腐化吗?再说,钱不在院长手里,采购东西由专人负责,院长想贪污也没机会呀!这就像家园里从不发生偷盗事件一样,你即使能偷,偷来以后你往哪里放?你怎么用?你的房间不属于 你,房间由专人负责清扫整理,你敢把偷来的东西放在自己的房间吗?大家在公共食堂一起吃饭,一起劳作,一起活动,你怎么用偷来的东西?

    一个良好的程序运行,不仅需要全体成员具备高尚的品德和修养,更需要一个高效有序合理合情合法的程序,对此,作为生命禅院导游心中非常清楚,也能做到游刃有余,为什么?很简单呀!没什么需要绞尽脑汁搜索枯肠研究历 史交流考察思索的,直接拷贝天国千年界模式即可,这样,不仅每一位禅院草能过上开心、快乐、自由、幸福的美好日子,最终每一位禅院草最低限度离开人间后可以前往仙界——千年界。

    Lifechanyuan's Concept of Money

    Xuefeng

    Money is a symbol of wealth. Lifechanyuan needs wealth, material wealth, spiritual wealth and spiritual wealth.

    However, when money is converted into currency, it is only a symbol, a medium, and a contract in the field of exchange and circulation, just like a marriage certificate, ID card, contract, etc. If everyone recognizes it, it represents wealth; everyone Do not recognize it, it is a piece of waste paper. Currency represents wealth, but currency itself is not wealth. When currency does not represent wealth, currency is not as good as toilet paper. Just like Zimbabwe's currency in 2009, a hundred-yuan bill is not worth a piece of toilet paper.

    Lifechanyuan's concept of money is to gradually no longer use currency, and the Chanyuan grass in the home does not touch currency. We basically achieved this ten years ago. There is only one Zenyuan grass in our home who is responsible for keeping the currency, and the purchasers use the currency. Others Chanyuan grass basically does not touch currency, so there is no money and currency exchange between Chanyuan grass. When there is no strong relationship between money and currency between people, it will be simple and easy to get along with, and it will be especially harmonious and harmonious. For the past ten years, the grasses of the Chanyuan have been living together as a family, as brothers and sisters, as close friends as confidants. In addition to the sublimation of the quality of life, the Chanyuan's concept of money has also played a great role.

    At present, because the outside of the Chanyuan relies on money to promote all production activities, and relies on currency to exchange materials and commodities, the Chanyuan has to have currency, and has to use the currency to exchange for the necessary supplies in the market, but when the production and life of the Chanyuan are When the model gradually expands, the currency will gradually disappear. For example, if the Chanyuan needs electricity, it has to pay the electricity bill. However, when the staff of the power station becomes the grass of the Chanyuan, he provides electricity, and others provide him with food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and arrange for birth, old age, sickness and death. In this way, there is no need to pay electricity bills, and there is no need to exchange currency in the field of electricity use. Another example is that the chanyuan grass needs clothes, so it has to exchange money for the clothes it needs, but when the workers in the garment factory become the chanyuan grass, they produce clothes, and the other chanyuan grasses provide the clothes factory's chanyuan grass with everything they need. Since then, there is no need to exchange currency for grass and clothes in the Chanyuan, and by analogy to all walks of life, the needs of the whole society can be met, and the currency will disappear.

    Another concept of money in Lifechanyuan is that the Zenyuan does not lend money to others, nor does it lend money to others. The chanyuan grass has given everything it owns to the home, and the home provides everything that every chanyuan grass needs, so whoever wants to borrow money from the chanyuan grass, I'm sorry, the Zenyuan grass itself does not have a penny to lend to others, All the necessities of the Zen garden grass are provided by the home, of course! He also didn't have to borrow money from anyone. This concept and practice frees people from a lot of troubles and pains, no longer owes debts, no longer has the pressure of life, and the cost of getting along with others is very low.

    There is no money and currency, and there are no corrupt officials. If you want to be corrupt, there is no place to be corrupt! No chance to be greedy! Living in a Zen courtyard in my hometown has no chance to get in touch with money, so how can I be greedy? Even if there is an opportunity to be greedy, what is the use of being greedy? how to use? If you have money, you can't spend it. Hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring at you, and everything you need is provided by your home. What do you want money for? Do you want to secretly buy yourself something delicious and useful? There is no door. If you do this, your reputation will be discredited and you will have no place in your home. In addition, the grasses of the Chanyuan do not send gifts to each other, and they cannot form parties for personal gain. In fact, if you want to form a deep friendship with a certain person, it is useless and unnecessary, because there will be 256 homes in the future, and they will be transferred to each other after three years at most. There are other branches, and maybe we will never see each other again in a lifetime. What is the use of forming personal friendships with each other, it is better to maintain a good relationship with everyone.

    Will there be corruption and ostentation in the Lifechanyuan? First of all, there are no officials in Lifechanyuan at all. Now the biggest official is the general director, followed by the sub-director. From a secular perspective, wow! The dean is the official! In fact, that's not the case. The reason why it is called the dean is just to echo the secular title, but its essence is that it is the "chief servant" and the "sub-servant". This "servant" is the servant's "servant". The dean is the most dedicated servant in Lifechanyuan, and the sub-principal is the servant who not only contributes a lot, but also cares and cares the most for every single person in the temple. Please imagine that such an "official" will go Corruption? Besides, the money is not in the hands of the dean, and the purchase of things is handled by a special person. The dean has no chance if he wants to embezzle! It's like the theft never happens in your home. Even if you can steal it, where do you put it after you steal it? How do you use it? Your room does not belong to you, the room is cleaned by a special person, do you dare to put the stolen things in your own room? Everyone eats together in the public canteen, works together, and conducts activities together. How do you use the stolen things?

    A good program operation not only requires all members to have noble morality and self-cultivation, but also requires an efficient, orderly, reasonable, reasonable and legal program. As a tour guide of Lifechanyuan, I know this very well, and I can do it with ease. Why? It's very simple! There is no need to rack your brains to search for dry intestines, research history, exchange, investigate and think, just copy the model of the Millennium World of Heaven. In this way, not only can every chanyuan grass live a happy, happy, free, and happy life, but in the end every chanyuan grass After leaving the world at least, you can go to the fairyland - the millennium world.

    钱财的问题

    Xuefeng


    基督耶稣说过,有钱人进天国比骆驼穿过针眼还难,佛陀的教诲是不积累财富,化缘靠施舍普渡众生,老子的教导是“金玉满堂,莫之能守,”“见素抱朴,少私寡欲,”“去甚、去奢、去泰”“一曰慈,二曰俭,三曰不敢为天 下先。”庄子的建议是清心寡欲,恬淡虚无。

    神佛仙圣人的教导没错,因为人一贪恋物质财富,不仅容易陷入无穷无尽的苦恼深渊,更会使灵性失聪,远离大道,无机会使生命升华。

    但是,神佛仙圣的教导是针对凡俗人生的,是针对那些不敬畏上帝的人说的,对生命禅院的禅院草而言,我们主要的时间和精力是为上帝服务,让上帝喜悦,在这个基础上,我们只要有机会,就应该努力赚取钱财,耶稣有过一个 比喻,主人出门旅行前给三个仆人各一定数量的钱,最后主人回来后的政策是按照谁钱财赚取的越多奖励越大来实施的,当然这个比喻主要是针对宣扬上帝王国消息的功德大小而言的,但是,这里的一个核心内容是,只要自己是 上帝的仆人,就应该最大限度地获取利润。

    禅院草是上帝的护士,是上帝的仆人,是上帝的子民,所以,我们赚取的越多,上帝越喜悦,给我们的报酬越大,因为我们要建设世外桃源——上帝的一个乐园,上帝要我们享受人生的乐趣,所以,只要我们心中有上帝,坚定地 走上帝的道,赚取钱财为生命禅院服务,只要不伤害大自然,只要不伤害他人,就应该不怕赚钱,不仅不怕,有机会时还要大赚特赚。

    佛教徒的路我们不能走,靠施舍不行,因为我们要对亲人尽心了心,这个尽心了心除了帮助亲人们认识上帝,走上帝的道外,钱财上的帮助更能让亲人们舒心,所以能赚则赚。

    圣人清心寡欲,恬淡虚无的教诲符合古代,现代行不通,如果不赚钱,这上网费、水费、电费、车费等等问题解决不了,这些问题解决不了,我们无法静下心来修行修练,所以,钱还是要赚,不仅要赚,只要有机会,还要多赚。 我今天能安静地坐在这里建设生命禅院,就是因为前几年赚了点小钱,现在能维持生存,若当时不赚,哪有今天。

    意识中不要排斥钱财,意识中希望上帝保佑赚取一定的钱财对亲人尽心了心,服务禅院,如此,机会一定来临,来临了,乘机而作。


    当官的问题
    官当的越大,为上帝服务的机会越多,修行修练在于心,不在于自己是什么社会地位和身份,所以,禅院草一旦有机会,就努力当官,争取当大官,能当上总统更好。

    Money problems

    Xuefeng


    Christ Jesus said that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Be simple, be less selfish and have few desires," "go to extremes, go to extravagance, go to Thailand", "one is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is dare not to be the first in the world."

    The teachings of the gods, Buddhas, immortals and saints are correct, because when people crave material wealth, they will not only easily fall into the abyss of endless suffering, but also make their spiritual deafness, stay away from the Dao, and have no chance to sublimate their lives.

    However, the teachings of Gods, Buddhas, Immortals and Sages are aimed at ordinary life and those who do not fear God. For the Zen Garden of Lifechanyuan, our main time and energy is to serve God, to please God, On this basis, as long as we have the opportunity, we should work hard to earn money. Jesus had a parable. Before going on a trip, the master gave each of the three servants a certain amount of money. In the end, the master’s policy after returning was based on who earns the more money. The more rewards, the greater the implementation. Of course, this metaphor is mainly aimed at the merits of propagating the news of God’s Kingdom. However, a core content here is that as long as you are a servant of God, you should maximize your profits.

    Chanyuan grass is God's nurse, God's servant, and God's people. Therefore, the more we earn, the more pleased God is, and the greater the reward for us, because we want to build a paradise - a paradise for God, God wants us to enjoy the joy of life, so as long as we have God in our hearts, firmly follow God’s way, earn money to serve Lifechanyuan, as long as we don’t harm nature and others, we should not be afraid of making money, not only not afraid, When the opportunity arises, make a lot of money.

    We cannot walk the path of Buddhists, nor do we rely on almsgiving, because we have to give our hearts and minds to our relatives. In addition to helping our relatives know God and walk the way of God, financial help can make our relatives feel more comfortable. Earn and earn.

    The sage's teachings of pure heart and few desires, indifference and emptiness are in line with the ancient times, but are not feasible in modern times. If you don't make money, you will not be able to solve problems such as Internet access fees, water bills, electricity bills, and car fares. If these problems cannot be solved, we cannot calm down and cultivate , So, money still has to be earned, not only to earn, but to earn more as long as there is an opportunity. I can sit here quietly today to build Lifechanyuan because I made a little money a few years ago, and now I can survive.

    Don't reject money in your consciousness, and hope that God will bless you to earn a certain amount of money. Dedicate yourself to your loved ones and serve the Chanyuan. In this way, the opportunity will definitely come, and when it comes, take advantage of it.


    The problem of being an official
    The bigger the official position, the more opportunities to serve God. The practice depends on the heart, not on what social status and status you have. Therefore, once the monk has the opportunity, he will work hard to become an official, strive to be a high official, and be able to be a high official. Better to be president.

    Hi Waldo, I check the link: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%80...9F%9D%E5%A3%B0

    Well, Jesus Christ is awesome, I once learned the Bible for many years and nearly became a pastor. Yes, Jesus Christ is the son of the Greatest Creator. He is the savior of human beings. HIS LOVE is great. His teachings are good for us to practise the way of the Greatest Creator. But the problem is: can the Christians build the kingdoms of the Greatest Creator on Mother Earth together? There are about 2 billion Christians in the world. Many of them are very kind. But they still have family and marriage. There are many churches in my hometown and I also go to the church to learn the teahcings of Jesus. But I want to know: how do the churches solve my Food, clothing, shelter and transportation ? How Jesus Christ solves the need of my love and sex?? Many of my relatives are Christians and they often ask me to pray and repent all the time. But can they solve my job, my marriage problem? The answer is NOOO. Learning the teachings of Jesus is very improtant, but we also need an environment to practise the teachings. I think, if Jesus Christ can Save Mankind, then all the Christians should unit as one family to build more and more the kingdom of the Greatest Creator so that they will surely save Mankind.

    This is only my thought.

    Let's be realistic.
    Earth is home to people at all levels of evolution.
    If The Michael Teachings are credible (and I think they are), the main stages of human soul development on Earth range from the stages which the Teachings have labeled Infancy to Baby to Young, to Mature to Old.
    See: https://www.michaelteachings.com/soul_ages.htmlare
    This theory is nothing new, and doesn't depart from the teachings about reincarnation and soul development which have been part of Hinduism and Buddhism for centuries, but they do go into great detail about how souls evolve here on Earth.
    Each stage has it's positive and negative traits.
    As such, Infant and Baby souls can be very tribal, seeking safety first.
    They are naive, being newly incarnating souls on planet Earth's challenging 3D reality of duality, and are therefore relatively inexperienced and needy, requiring mentoring, reassurance and assistance.
    Young souls have "learned the ropes", are more adventurous, ambitious go-getters and can be self-serving "climbers" when it comes to getting what they want.
    Mature souls can be very emotional and intense, needing lots of intimacy in their relationships, and can be very self-involved in various kinds of trauma dramas.
    Old souls are wiser and more detached, focused individuals; often they are loners who just don't want to be bothered with wordly issues any more than necessary.

    Souls at different stages of development have very different needs, not homogeneous needs, and trying to design a one size fits all template is pretty much impossible.

    Then we have sociopaths, narcissists and psychopaths, who may seem quite normal on the surface, but are conscienceless and though they are in the minority, are the cause of many of the world's ills.
    Precisely because they are ruthless, they can ascend to positions of great power, fooling others all the while into thinking they are real leaders.
    And those are the kinds of people who are ruling the world now, no matter what 'ism" we are talking about.

    The most realisitic prognosis I've ever heard for taking a step toward healing the innate ills of our paradigm came from my late mentor, the very brilliant Dr. Christopher Hills: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hills
    ...who said that in order to really progress, humankind must first learn how to identify sociopaths, narcissists and psychopaths at their early stages of development and prevent them from victimizing their fellow humans.
    (Many of these are not really what normal humans beings think of as human at all, as they are possessed by demonic entities.
    The necessity for dealing effectively with such entities and healing the human beings who have been possessed by them cannot be discounted.)

    Dr. Hills envisioned a future Earth where cooperative, sustainable, intentional communities have largely taken the place of nation states, but are governed democratically by the members of the communities themselves.
    Families units would join in taking responsibility for all the chlldren, so no child would ever be homeless or uncared for, and adults would be free to marry, divorce, or remain single.
    Members could leave and join other communities if they so desired, as could students engaging in inter-community exchange programs.

    Many intentional communities around the world that seem to have been based on idealistic principles have turned out to be dangerous cults, so however ideal they may appear on the surface, they may actually be serving the purposes of some clever Satanic entities that are masquerading in human bodies.
    We have seen this time and again.

    We can be fairly certain that in China, the CCP is keeping a close monitor on any groups that appear to be inclining toward independence from CCP rule, and in other cases, the CCP is actually using such groups as tools of propaganda, with the purpose of fooling their citizens and the rest of the world into thinking the CCP is humanitarian, which of course, it is not, anymore than Marx or Lenin were humanitarians. See: How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World
    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1491539

    And more to the point, with the tight control that the CCP keeps over all communications, it may be very difficult for the Chinese people themselves to know what is really going on right under their very noses.
    Or to speak out about what they see, since if it's not favorable to the CCP's agendas, they may be punished.
    One reason why sources such as those which are posted often on the Turmoil in China thread are very likely to be much more credible than sources coming from within China itself.
    (See: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...rmoil-in-China )
    ...The former being people who once lived in China, but who still have personal connections with whistleblowers still in China who are willing to risk being targeted for sharing information the CCP would prefer to keep secret.

    And of course, we see these same trends developing in Western nations too, so this post is not meant to be propaganda for the West.
    Unfortunately, those in power all over the world seem to be holding the model the CCP is presenting to the world as ideal, and one they want to emulate.
    And as we see even more now, with people literally starving in their own locked down homes in Shanghai, with their children being forcibly taken from them, the goal is not just absolute dictatorship, but also genocide and population control.

    It would be comforting to think that the communities Xidaijena is recommending are somehow free from that tyrannical rule, but I find it hard to believe that is the case, in view of all else that we see happening in the world now, and especially in China.
    If our eyes are wide open.

    to be honest, I dont care about saving mankind. i care about living free.

    It could be said that a prison works fine.
    your cell opens, you come out, get fed, go out in the yard for exercise and so on. speak your mind, disagree and get a smash across your teeth. rinse, repeat do it again. see? it works really well.
    communism can work in a contained group of like minded people. the more people, the more rules and force to impose it.
    Its a spirit killer

    And somehow there will always be an elite that are above it and get to enjoy earth in all its wealth and riches for themselves as they impose this system on all others. no thanks

    Exactly. Which is why a first step towards freedom for mankind is to discover how to identify such sick individuals ( those who consider themselves the elite) early on in their development, and to limit their ability to cause harm.
    And if possible, rehabilitate them.
    Though if they can at least be prevented from doing damage, that might lead to an end to their infiltrating and/or or incarnating here.
    It appears to be a long time before that dawn, however....
