IV. The Past of Humanity
Xuefeng
(translated by Conglong)
The past of humanity is a history of sufferings, a history of fights and conflicts.
The past of humanity is a history of bewilderment, a history of manifestation of animal instincts.
The past of humanity is a history of selfishness, a history of “survival of the fittest�.
The past of humanity is a history of chaos, a history of giants competing for powers, religions competing for position.
The past of humanity is a history of wickedness, a history that is not worthy of remembering and emulation.
The current situation of human being
Although there are regional extremes, humanity in general has been away from barbarism and ignorance, and on its way to be more rational. While in some places there are still superstitious forces, but scientific developments have made the majority realize that superstition is the source of barbarism and ignorance, and the vital cause of social turbulence.
There were some major superstitions:
1. Fanatical belief in religion
They think the religion they believe is the only right one, and others are evil. However, in fact, each religion has its own blindness, and a side of suppression of human nature. Fanatical belief in any religion is the result of an emotional choice, not rational. As long as religions exist, the light of human nature is not able to shine, and humanity is not able to get out of barbarism and ignorance, and war is unavoidable; the suffering of humanity will not be possible to end.
2. Frantic worship of the great
Every country has its own great men, and its own founding heroes; they made immoral achievements in elimination of old forces; they are worthy to be respected. But if they are worshiped as god,and the saviour, a vicious cycle will begin to form, and humans will be dragging into another round of suffering. It is all right to worship a great man, but if it is over a limit, it becomes a mania, mania is a mental illness, and it is also a new form of barbaric ignorance，which will inevitably lead to destruction and repression of human nature.
3. Blindly follow a theory or academic conclusion
The development of things is progressing in a form of wave, any theory or academic conclusion is a symbol of development from the perspective of current time and space. However, they are not perfect and are not able to cover the comprehensive contents and its extended meanings. They are not the ultimate truth, if we follow them blindly,our thoughts will be bound, and therefore new thoughts and theories are not able to emerge, we will hardly see the situation of “A hundred of flowers blossom, a hundred of schools of thought contend�, which will eventually lead to the twist of human nature and stop the progress of human civilization.
4. Nationalism
Needless to say, each nation has its unique advantages. Just like different fruits and melons having their own taste and degree of sweetness. If water melon and peach think they are the best, and all other fruits are useless, a mono-mode will be taking shape; this is an extremely overbearing behavior. National pride and sense of superiority is evil, not the manifestation of one’s divinity at all.The stronger the feeling, the more discrimination and barriers it will cause among nations, as a result, human nature starts to fall. Nationalism is another form of superstition.
5. Worship of masters
There are some extraordinary and distinctive people in the history of each nation; we call them “master� because they have a unique viewpoint, foresighted wisdom or possess a unique quality. It is quite reasonable we respect and call them “master�, but if we worship them, it becomes an infectious virus, a superstition. We see the magnificence of the universe from many twinkling stars in the sky; a nation is great if talents come out in succession. Any master is like a shining star of that time, if we regard him as a sun, and don’t stop to revolve around him, the brilliancy of other stars will be covered, and the nation will not have a successor.
6. Blind faith and following, seek after extraordinary
A man can only be a man as long as he has a DNA of human and a body; he can’t be god or something else.??We can’t deny that life beings in other time and space could be reincarnated to human world; that is because they are bestowed by the Greatest Creator special abilities and wisdom, and come here with a mission, which is something embodied in their DNA. These abilities and wisdom are far beyond any ordinary person can reach. As one of general public, we can only follow natural law and don’t need to seek after extraordinary. If a potato wants to become a tomato, a red dates wants to become a walnut, it is not only unnecessary, but also impossible. We will be on the way of devil if we are determined to possess supernatural power. For example, in the last two decades, the popularity of one after another gong(功) exercise is a form of superstition, and has wasted time, energy, and talents of many wise men, who fall into a mud of self-anaesthetizing and self-deceiving and can’t get out from it, eventually lose their way.
7. Worship of gods and ghosts; communicating with spirit world
This is a fundamental superstition. As far as human beings are concerned, there are only two gods: Jesus and Satan, and no other gods. If there are more, they are made up by men. Humans are not eligible to title someone as god and then worship him, this is a typical superstition. As for ghosts, as long as we show no interest, they will not bother; it is not necessary to ask god to drive away ghosts. Advertising ghosts in movies, books or verbal communication is a historical retrogression, and a wicked act incompatible with modern civilization. The sayings and behaviours of communicating with spirit world are destructing human nature; they are also negation of human beings. Spirit world does exist, but not for current human beings to communicate with. The man who can really communicate with spirit world must be a man with perfect human nature, otherwise, the communication is not authentic, or it goes astray.
8. Other superstitions
There are a variety of other numberless superstitions, which are the trash descending from human history. If I criticise them here one by one, many people would not accept it emotionally. However, these superstitions will surely be out of sight and disappear as science and human civilization develops.
The past of humanity is a time ruled by religion and superstition; the present of humanity is a time of science combined with religion and superstition. The future of humanity will be a time of science and religion mixing together under the light of ration.

V. Current Crises Faced by Humanity
Post #2Xuefeng
(Translated by Conglong)
The crises faced by humanity have been long-standing. There had been warnings in Bible, Koran and ‘the Book of Earth Mother’ (地��) of Buddhism.??In the recent twenty years, many scientists, ideologists, and spiritual leaders have all sensed the crises faced by humanity are getting more and more serious. They can be summarized as follows:
Water resource shortages, food shortages, rapid population growth, air pollution, widespread of strong virus, leakage of nuclear facilities, water pollution, desertification, endangered species, ecological imbalance, energy failure, sharp decreasing of green barriers, refuse disaster, greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, robots taking over the world, floods of nano robots, competition of nuclear weapons, biological weapons destroying a race, genetic bioengineering destroying humanity, particle experiments devouring the earth, super volcano eruptions, earthquake causing world economic crisis, asteroids colliding with Earth, outer space super planetary explosion and etc.
There are also some people have foreseen the culture crisis, ethic crisis and belief crisis.
Many of the above crises are potential crises, and the viewpoints of those experts are very insightful. However, all the above crises are only the crises on surface; they are not the core crisis. The most severe crisis is the crisis of soul, and it is the source of all other crises. If we only focus on the superficial but ignore the core, it is not only impossible to resolve them, they will become even more severe, which end up with humanity extinction and earth destruction.
Only very few enlightened people can sense some other crises like race extinction and religious virus.
Others like the crisis of disappearance of a city in one night, and a beam of wave causing the death of billions of people in a few minutes will definitely not be understood and conceivable by ordinary people.
The core crisis of humanity is the crisis of the soul.
Humans can hear, listen, smell, taste and sense spiritually because they have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and consciousness.
The results of failing to have spiritual sense are:
1.Not able to feel the existence of the Greatest Creator
2.Not able to feel the existence of gods, buddhas or celestials.
3.Not able to feel the existence of thirty six dimensional spaces
4.Not able to feel the existence of “the nonmaterial� and “negative universe�.
5.Do not understand the concept of “horizontal time�
6.Too much trust on scientific findings, and atheism becomes popular
7.Do not believe law of cause and effect
8.Do not realize the magic of consciousness
9.Do not??believe reincarnation
10.Self-centered and arrogant
If a man loses the spiritual sense, he loses spirituality. And as a result he will not be able to have a perfect human nature:
1.His thoughts are prisoned in three-dimensional space.
He believes that earth is the only habitat for human beings, and completely denies the existence of other spaces; and regards any other doctrines or theories he is not able to understand as superstitions or fallacies, and blocks the way for human beings to pursue other higher dimensional spaces.
2.Does not acknowledge the regularity and certainties.
He sees many phenomena as accidents, and doesn’t realize that all natural disasters are caused by ill consciousness.
3.Does not believe the law of cause and effect
He attaches too much weight on win and loss, uses any means to achieve the goal, and ignores the effects that will cause in later lifetimes.
4.Does not believe reincarnation of LIFE
He thinks that death is the end of life; so does anything as he/she pleases without conscience; and regards fame, wealth and power as the symbols of a successful life.
5.Apply the theory of evolution in human society; believe “law of jungle�, “survival of the fittest�.
He stops nothing to achieve his goal, which may include making miseries to other people, polluting rivers, bullying the kind, lying and deceiving.
6.Only value short term interests, and ignore long-term consequences.
Use competition as primary means to promote social development, therefore, making nuclear and biological weapons, frantically developing heavy industries that damage environment, predatory exploitation of resources, and treating all people as potential rivals or enemies.
7.Rotten morals and falling humanity
He does not respect god, buddha, saints and sages, and does not respect his teacher, father and brother.??He is violent, use to cheat and not shameful of his behaviours.
Lying, bullying the weak, abusing women, killing people….. He does all evils. Just like what described in the ancient Chinese book "Tractate of the Most High One on Actions and Consequences"(太上感应篇):
The crimes of the wicked-
sometimes there is someone who behaves without righteousness, and moves against rationality, who deceives the unknowing, and bears false witness against his fellow students, who lies, calumniates, deceives, and practices deceit, who exposes the failings of clan elders, who exercises power but not compassion, who is cruel, irrational, and self-willed, who oppresses those below him and claims their merit for himself, but cringes before those above him to win their favor, who has no feeling for favors received, but is tireless in remembering resentment, who rewards those without righteousness, but punishes the innocent, who slays people to take their wealth, and overthrows people to occupy their positions, who slays captives and slaughters those who surrender, who denigrates the righteous and expels the wise, who wrongs orphans and coerces widows, who ignores the law and receives bribes, who takes the straight as crooked and the crooked as straight, who knowing his faults does not correct them, and knowing the good does not do it and etc.
A moral person with spiritual sense knows he should revere the Greatest Creator and walk on the Greatest Creator’s way, and is aware of his weakness as a human, so he will not be arrogant. He realizes he should cultivate himself, and knows he needs to take care of, cherish, respect and love mother nature, its resources and all life beings.
He will never leave the wastewater of factories, mines, hospitals and cities to rivers, streams and lands.
He will never hunt and eat the meat of wild animals.
He will never destroy forests, mountains and grasslands.
He will never indulge in power, money, beauty, and let his greed expand, not even use any means to satisfy his desires.
He will never use his power to serve his own or his family’s interests. Nor bully or suppress others.
He will never sell fake or shoddy goods
He will never steal other person’s research findings to gain fame for himself.
He will never make life-threating nuclear weapons and biological weapons.
He will never provoke conflicts among people, creating hatred and making others to hurt each other.
He will never make mischief among people for his own interest.
He will never suppress any new ideas, new cultures or new values.
8.Lack of gratitude
In his heart, there is no place for the Greatest Creator, gods, parents, elders, the society, other people;??he only demands and does not willing to give.
Even a plant bears fruits as long as we water and fertilize it.
A chicken produces eggs as long as we feed it.
A dog will be a good safeguard of our home as long as it is been taken good care.
But, what about a person lack of spiritual sense?
He will be just like a black hole, only absorb stuff in but never contribute; moreover, he is like a virus, which only does destruction to the surrounding environment.
The above statements have shown that the core crisis of human being is the crisis of soul, and it is the root cause of all other crises, and the root cause of why one can’t have a happy and free life.
If we look earth from a height of 1000 meters, and focus on the cities of the world, we will find the survival situation of human beings is just like a group of ants on a hot pot, running around hastily. You don’t know where these “ants� are going to; they just follow their senses with no purposes. They move quickly all together once they see an animal corpse or a drop of oil; they follow where the trend is. If you ask one of the “ants�: Why are you so busy everyday? Where do you rush for? His answer will be: I’m looking for something to eat, drink and a place to live. As for where to go, I will go wherever I can find food, drinks and a place to live.
The secular world is just like an animal world. Some people stand themselves out, but where do they go after they get out? They go to religions.
All religions, whether it is good or evil, they are made of people who have spiritual pursuit. A real disciple of any religion is superior, in spiritual aspect, to any kings or great men.
So we can say, all people in secular world are sleeping and people in religion are awake. The formers do not have spiritual direction as the latters do.
However, with the development of science and the growth of human wisdom, many people in religions start to confuse and are not able to tell the direction. Many disciples are like gamblers; they stake all their energy and wisdom on the religion they belong to, although they know that they can’t win back what they have lost, they want to keep “gambling�; they even want to persuade others to gamble with them to feel psychologically balanced. Just like the fox that has lost his frozen tail on the ice, he has lost the tail, he has been laughed at and left alone by other foxes, he also knows that he doesn’t look good without a tail, but in order to comfort himself, he tries to persuade others that a fox without a tail is the most beautiful fox, and others are all fools if they don’t cut their tails.
People always have an illusion; they think truth lies where the crowds are, otherwise, why so many people go there?
People always have an illusion; they think those religions or organizations that are strong and powerful can point to a place with real happiness, otherwise, how it can grow so big?
People always have an illusion; they think wherever celebrities or intellectuals go must have a promising future, because these smart men will not go for and praise something blindly.
However, when they are out, they want to get in, once they get in, except bewilderment, blindly following, and some shackles they put on themselves, the only thing left they can do is waiting and hoping with a fluke mind.
What are they hoping for?

VI. The Future of Humanity
Post #3Xuefeng
(Translated by Conglong)
We all look forward to an era where everyone will have a happy and worry-free life.
Let’s suppose the Greatest Creator and gods do not exist, are we able to realize this dream only by relying on the wisdom of humanity?
The answer is no. Without the guide of the Greatest Creator and the power of Gods and buddhas, human beings is not possible to realize this beautiful dream.
How many authorities will step aside for others?
How many rich men will contribute all their wealth to society?
How many poor people will work hard except having more children as long as they don’t need to worry about food?
Let’s imagine if the future of humanity is ruled by one religion, what will happen?
It would be terrible.(Please think of the reason yourself).
If the world is ruled by one secular government, what will happen?
Same, autocracy and incompetency will soak up the blood of the underprivileged.
　
If we keep current situation: different religions exist; countries act on their own will, everything is decided by the country itself, what will happen?
The world is going to collapse.
　
So, what will be the best living situation of humanity?
The core in short is : walk on the way of the Greatest Creator.
Build a “noninterference� government, promoting freedom in politics, economy,culture, thinking and spiritual pursuit.
Then, the future of humanity will be like the following:
1. All religions will gradually disappear; humans revere the same and the only Greatest Creator.
2. Wars between nations will no longer take place; no country will have a military force.
3. The leaders of each country are elected by its people; election is no longer manipulated by the minority.??Each leader serves no longer than two terms.
4. The population will no longer be increasing unlimitedly; the growthof population will be controlled.
5. Power and wealth are no longer the most important life goals of humans.
6.??People will not talk about how to fight with nature and men; the earth will become a place where all life beings coexist harmoniously.
7.??Terrorist activities are going to disappear.
8. Crimes will be decreasing year by year.
9. The care of elders and the education of the youth will become the responsibilities of the whole society, which are no longer the??private affairs individuals or families.
10. Family life is going to dissolve; relationship of men and women is going to show diverse forms.
11. Scientists and artists will be respected by the general.
12. Manual labour is not regarded as a less decent job.
13. A common Bill of Rights will be made; journalists will have greater freedom, the force of darkness in some regions will be curbed.
14. A lazy person will be regarded as miserable and incompetent; a parasite-like lifestyle will be seen as a pity.
15. Humans will be able to make new form of Life; intelligent robots will come into being, Sahara will be returning to green again.
16. A large number of supermen will appear: they discover the secret of brain,and find the channel to communicate with the Greatest Creator, and therefore they know the secret of time and space, the cause and effect relationship of lives transiting in different time and space, the secret of thinking, the power of mind, and the road towards higher level life space.These supermen will bring the material and spiritual life of humanity to a brand new level.
17. There will not be nature disasters any more, earthquakes, floods, diseases will all vanish.
18. Earth becomes a blessed paradise, which will be serene and harmonious, prosperous and vibrant; cranes are flying in the sky. People are healthy and have a long life; everyone live in peace and enjoy their job.
In conclusion, human beings will enter an unprecedented, highly developed and civilized era, an era with happiness, abundance and freedom. Everyone will transform to a celestial at the end. We will understand all secrets by that time, each moment of our life will be extremely joyful, we will meet our family and friends who have passed away, a brilliant new life will start to unfold.
However, there is a prerequisite, which is we must walk on the way of the Greatest Creator, if we ignore it, everything will be developing in the opposite direction.

Yes this is what the bible promises but only for those that recognise God as being the only one qualified to govern them and relinquish the notion of human government.

The Eighteen Source Causes of Life's Pain
Post #6Xuefeng
(Translated by Tongxin and Edited by Kaer)
Life should be joyful, happy, free, and blessed, but most people’s lives not only lack joy, happiness, freedom, and blessings, but also have many troubles each day and night which stimulate pain in their hearts.
We have to ask, what in hell causes the pain in life?
Let me analyze the sources of pain in life and see if they are reasonable.
1. Wrong values on value, life, LIFE, and the universe.
The values of value, life, LIFE and the universe are the GPS of life. If they are correct, the life journey will gravitate toward joy, happiness, freedom, and blessings like heaven, but once they become misdirected, life will slip toward troubles, anxieties, worries and fears like hell.
For example, “ people die for money and birds die for food� is a wrong value. If one insists on such a value, pain will fill their life.
For example, “every man should take a wife and every woman should take a husband once they reach adulthood�. If such a value directs your life, your life will doubtless be full of pain.
For example, “People just live a lifetime and then die like the light of candles going out� is a wrong perception of LIFE, since it ignores the laws of Karma (cause and effect) and of reincarnation. If one accept such values, their life will definitely be messy and as confused as flies without guidance, and they will encounter a lot of pain.
For example, “There is no Greatest Creator, no Gods or Buddhas, no Celestial beings, and no heaven and hell� is also a wrong value of the universe. Such identification does not understand that “there are mountains beyond mountains, and heavens beyond heavens� and does not understand that there are “20-parallel worlds and 36-dimensional spaces�. It limits one’s view of spirit and soul to the narrow life field of current space so they cannot see a bright and clear future, and causes much pain in life.
2. Selfishness
People who prefer to selfishly take benefits and profits only for themselves rather than serving or contributing to others and to society will definitely live painful lives.
3. Greed
“Only take one cup of water among thousands of rivers and lakes�. If one wants to possess all rivers and lakes without restraint, their life will surely be painful.
4. Laziness
Being lazy, preferring leisure over work, being opportunistic, and stealing other people’s achievements are qualities which will inevitably lead to corruption and poorness. The result of such people is having painful lives unless they can become pigs.
5. Jealousy
When seeing other people leading lives with better conditions, or living happier, freer, and more joyful lives, one immediately has jealousy and hatred in their heart, or feels uncomfortable without reason, or cannot sit or stand peacefully, or cannot help but be mean and picky, and even wants to harm those other people, this will cause limitless pain in their own life.
6. Complaints
When one has no clear identification of themsevles, cannot see clearly their own shortcomings and disadvantages, always puts the reasons of mistakes or responsibilities on others, complains a lot, including complaints to heaven, earth, society, and other people, but never finds reasons from within, such people’s lives will inevitably have pain.
7. Comparison
The consciousness of comparison is evil, once one starts to compare themselves against others, pain comes immediately.
8. Being Competitive and Aggressive
Being competitive and aggressive, always wanting to have a better life than others, always liking to show themselves off, and always wanting to be superior to others, such people will have much pain during their whole lives.
9. Arrogance
Those who are arrogant, wild and proud, unable to treat people equally while always feeling superior them, disrespectful of other people’s personalities, dignity, and freedom, always speaking in a tone of teaching and superiority, revealing contempt in their eyes, and have no basic politeness, are annoying people and they will have a lot of pain.
10. Being Dependant
Not trusting in and relying on the Greatest Creator, not trusting in and relying on oneself, putting the hope of having a happy life without the troubles of food, shelter, clothes, transportation, birth, aging, sickness, and death on someone else, always wanting to rely on and be fed by others, and placing their spiritual prop on someone else, such people will have lots of pain in life, too.
11. Infatuated and Poisoned Love
Marital love, faithful love, pledge-of-eternal love, and voluntarily suffering love are all poisonous love. Once one owns poisonous love, their life is inevitably painful.
12. Possession and Occupation
Once one owns something, they will definitely taste pain, the more one owns, the more pain will come. In order to possess something, one must spend their time, energy, and heart to own it successfully; in order to maintain all they have, they need to think thoroughly to find the solution; in order to occupy for as long a time as they can, they have to cheat, fight, intrigue against others, and even join life-and-death struggles. How can such a life not be painful?
13. Chase for Fame and Profits
Life is only one journey of LIFE in the human world. If one struggles fiercely and competes seriously in such a short time, which is like the illusion of a flower blossom, and chases for fame and profits all the time, his life will be surely full of pain.
14. Attachment
Whether it is money, rights and privileges, fame, positions, or people, as long as one attachments to things, one cannot have an independent consciousness and his own opinion, he will speak and act according to other people’s opinions or wills, and become a suffering slaver or puppet.
15.　Want to Change or Control others
All life beings have their own natures, “Rivers and mountains can be changed, but it is hard to alter a person’s nature�, if one tries to change or control others by his own interests, habits, characters, and wills, tries to have others live according to his own will, it will surely bring unhappiness to both sides, and cause many pains in life.
16. Depart from the Way of Nature
Departing from the original intention of the Greatest Creator, suppressing one’s nature and love, and trying to resist nature to attain supernatural power, trying to attain special abilities, and living life without following the way of nature is just like hurling eggs against stones, such life will definitely be painful.
17. Violating Laws and Disciplines
Countries can disappear, but government can not. In order to maintain the efficient and harmonious operation of society, governments must require their citizens to obey conventions; that is the constitution, laws, rules, and disciplines. If people do not obey the conventions, but often violate laws and disciplines, and even commit crimes, it will surely cause painful lives.
18. The Consciousnesses of Marriage, Family, Nation, Political parties, Religions, and Organizations
Once people have the above consciousnesses, once they enter into the programs of marriage, family, nation, political parties, religions, and organizations, their lives will definitely suffer.
