Summary: Taking advantage of the New Year’s holiday in January 2019, I went to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia, where birds and flowers, beautiful mountains and green waters, forests and grasses, and the Three Sisters peaks, like three small pyramids, are really wonderful for Gods to practice. At night, I look up into the deep space, the stars are shining, my imagination is flashing, and I actually feel the energy from outer space, and write several articles in one breath. What year is this year? Are all historical predictions coming true?
-------------------------------------------
I think that Professor Zhang Shousheng passed away recently. He had such a few words before his death. If you summarize all the knowledge of mankind, what would you write? He gave these answers:
1) The three fundamental constants of nature
2) Everything is made of atoms
3) Euclidean geometry axioms
4) Natural selection, survival of the fittest
5) All men are born equal
6) Let freedom the wind blows
7) A pen is better than a sword
8) An invisible hand
9) The great way is simple
Let’s analyze his answers.
The first, “the three fundamental constants of nature”, is actually the simplest description of the basis of physics.
The second, “Everything is made of atoms”, is the simplest basis for describing chemistry.
The third, “Euclidean Geometry Axiom”, is the simplest foundation of all mathematics.
The fourth, “natural selection, survival of the fittest”, describes the evolution of biology to the simplest.
The fifth, “Everyone is born equal”, is the simplest description of the institutional laws of political science.
The sixth, “Let the wind of freedom blow”, is the simplest description of free trade in economics.
The above six items are basically a simple summary of all the subjects we have learned from elementary school to university for so many years. After finishing college courses and entering society and work, the above six items can be included in the following three items.
“A pen is better than a sword” is correct in terms of society, work, writing and creativity.
In the past, Napoleon, Hitler, and the Emperor of Japan all wanted to use force to unify the world, but the result was a disastrous defeat. Even if rulers like Alexander and Genghis Khan have unified most of the earth by force, what is the final result? Everyone knows that they all fell apart in a short time. Therefore, unification by force cannot last long. Only theories and civilizations created with pen can unify the world for a long time.
The “invisible hand” is correct in terms of social development and historical predictions.
We know that in the long river of history, many nations and countries once existed, but they all died out afterwards. We also know that many ancient Chinese and foreign prophecies are telling future generations that you must follow the laws of nature. If you don't, you will perish, including any country and nation, no matter how powerful you were at that time. Similarly, in economics and the stock market, no matter how rich and wealth you are, there is an invisible hand operating. If you violate the market, even if you have money, you will lose. This is the invisible hand.
The last item is “the great way is simple”, which is also the most critical.
But where is simple? How far is simple? What is the best simple? Many prophets and scholars have been exploring since ancient times.
For example, the previous Professor Zhang Shousheng, from the perspective of science, he stated the simplest aspects of each major, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, and economics, but where is the simplicity of all the overall natural sciences, social sciences and life sciences? He could not say. But for a professional scientist (he is not a philosopher), it is already very good.
What is it that Western theologians have made the most simple? It is the creation of God, everything is pushed to the creation of God,that is the work of God and Allah, we don’t need to explore. This is similar to the various gods and creations worshipped by all other ethnic groups in the world, such as Pangu’s creation of heaven and earth, which is totally incomprehensible nonsense.
What is the great simplicity given by the highest philosopher in modern times in the west countries? It's “materialism, idealism, and metaphysics”. By the way, maybe doctrines are there. It's a bit empty, and it seems to have some edges. And what is the simple way that the highest scientist in the west countries is looking for? It is to unify the four field theories, but it has not yet reached it at all.
Let's take a look at what is the great simplicity that Lao Tzu (Li Er) said thousands of years ago? Lao Tzu in his “moral”book (Tao de ching) Chapter One reads:
“The Way that can be told of is not an Unvarying Way; The names that can be named are not unvarying names. It was from the Nameless that Heaven and Earth sprang; The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand creatures, each after its kind. ……”
Lao Tzu in “Tao de Ching” Chapter 25 continues:
“There was something undefined and complete, coming into
existence before Heaven and Earth. How still it was and formless,
standing alone, and undergoing no change, reaching everywhere and in
no danger (of being exhausted)! It may be regarded as the Mother of
all things.
I do not know its name, and I give it the designation of the Tao (the Way or Course). Making an effort (further) to give it a name I call it The Great. Great, it passes on (in constant flow). Passing on, it becomes remote. Having become remote, it returns. Therefore the Tao is great; Heaven is great; Earth is great; and the (sage) king is also great. In the universe there are four that are great, and the (sage) king is one of them.
Man takes his law from the Earth; the Earth takes its law from
Heaven; Heaven takes its law from the Tao. The law of the Tao is its
being what it is.”
Note that the essence of Lao Tzu's “Tao Te Ching” is in the first few sentences of Chapter 1 and the explanation of Chapter 25, but he did not say the “Tao” either. What is it, where is best simple? He just gave descriptions and predictions.
Look here, does he predict and describe our theoretical system of the universal law and galaxy civilization today:
Is it just “There was something undefined and complete, coming into existence before Heaven and Earth. How still it was and formless,
standing alone, and undergoing no change, reaching everywhere and in
no danger (of being exhausted)! It may be regarded as the Mother of
all things.”
What Lao Tzu said was a bit complicated, but he still gave a prediction and description of “best simple”.
Lao Tzu said in Chapter 42 of the “Tao De Jing”:
“The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three;
Three produced All things. All things leave behind them the Obscurity
(out of which they have come), and go forward to embrace the
Brightness (into which they have emerged), while they are harmonised
by the Breath of Vacancy.”
Pay attention to this, what else did he predict? After the beginning of the world, what happened during the march of the Big Bang.
One wave after another, continuously expanding outwards, that is, “Tao produces one, one produced two, two produced three”, rolling up and down, that is, “bearing yin and holding yang”, but always keep the centre, that is, “while they are harmonised by the Breath of Vacancy”.
All the above descriptions and predictions of Lao Tzu is looking for the great way? Looking for what is simple, not only from the best way to the simple, but also from the simple to introduce all the things that happen in nature and society.
You can't just say that “atom” is the simplicity of everything, but it can only deduce that it is the simplicity of “matter”.
In the “Tao De Jing”, Lao Tzu is indeed attentively deducing in a comprehensive way, but his most important central description is still too complicated and too long to be simple. Therefore, few people have understood Lao Tzu since ancient times, and many articles have been compiled and misinterpreted, including a large number of his Taoist disciples and disciples.
Only when the Chinese culture with the universal law come, we can truly understand Lao Tzu’s prophecies, and can truly complete the “Great Way to Simple”, that is, “Mysterious and Mysterious, the Gate of All Wonders”; or “Invisible Hand”, no need any weapon, as long as a pen, unifies the world, which is called “a pen is better than a sword”.
Of course, we also sincerely admire Lao Tzu today. The person who can describe the “best way to simple” most clearly, most meticulously and closest to “the universal law and the galaxy civilization” is the top Eastern philosopher Li Er, the ancestor of Li.
Through the above analysis, we can say with certainty that metaphysics “.”, “1” and “o” are the way to simplicity that transcends everything. This has led to a series unite of studies on natural science, social science and life science.
