Why humans are keen to pursue science and stay away from religion
ZHANG Gong. So far, I believe that more and more people have begun to agree with the view put forward by the scientific community, that our universe is like a life, and there is no suspense in the religious community. We agree with the above viewpoint, and further extend it to the fact that since the universe as a space-time world can be regarded as life, life can also be regarded as a space-time world. In our theory of duality and quadruple phenomena, in fact, there has long been such a conclusion, we believe that in the relativistic world, the universe (space-time) and life are the two poles of the same thing, that is, the relationship between yin and yang as commonly understood, and their whole can be read as the universe, or as life, when read as the universe, life can be regarded as the universe of consciousness, and its opposite is the space-time universe;When read as life, space-time at this time is physical life, and its opposite is intelligent life.
The universe (life) can be interpreted in this way, and each of our lives can be interpreted in this way, and the human body is originally a shrinking universe. However, when we analyze human life, we need to make some extensions and changes to the above theories, because when we analyze the yin and yang polar universe and life of things, we do not include human life, because human life is neither yin nor yang, that is, it cannot be regarded as pure physical life or pure intelligent life. Human life is a synthetic product of the universe and life, and after the existence of human life, the theory of yin and yang in the universe has evolved into the theory of trinity. Taking life as an example, on the basis of the original yin life (physical life) and yang life (intelligent life), there is a human life that is combined by yin and yang, and human life is yin and yang life. At this time, the trinity of life is the mandate of heaven (yang), human life (yin and yang), and earth destiny (yin). The trinity of life corresponds to the universe as the three worlds in one, namely the heavenly realm, the human realm, and the earthly realm. After expounding these basic principles, we can logically explain the relationship between human beings and science and religion. In addition, we try to avoid the use of religious language as much as possible, and try to use the concept of equivalence in physics to explain, so as to reflect the compatibility between science and religion as much as possible.
The diagram was originally a trinity of life or the universe, and we now map it to the universe in a physical sense, albeit with different concepts and the same basic principles. Among them, the macrocosm can be read as yang, destiny, heaven, and life;The microcosm can be read as yin, earthly life, earthly boundary, space-time;In the middle of the two circles is the human world, which can be read as yin and yang, human life, human world, and material world.
In our cognitive view, in the relativistic world, religion and science are two poles of the same thing, that is, the relationship between yin and yang as it is commonly understood. That is, they have a basic common definition: a system of consciousness that acts on the cognition and education of life. The difference between them is that the polarity is opposite, and religion is yang, acting on the macrocosm in the diagramScience is yin, acting on the microcosm in the diagram. How do we prove our point?
The macro represents the life realm, and the micro represents the time and space realm. In the traditional folk culture, the Mandate of Heaven is pure yang life, so it represents the macrocosm, because as the creator of human life or is considered to be the inheritor, the higher spirituality of human beings (spirit, spirit) is the product of their differentiation, in turn, they belong to the system life, the higher they go to the source, the wider their macrocosm, from a physical point of view, for example, the lower gods may be planetary life;The higher gods are stellar lifeforms, and the Buddhas above may be galaxies or even larger physical spaces. The earth's destiny is pure yin life, so it represents the microcosm, because they are also the creators or inheritors of human life, and the low-level spirituality of human beings (soul, body) is the product of their aggregation, in turn, they belong to elementary particles, the higher they go to the source and tail, the more refined their microscopic planes, from a physical point of view, for example, the direction of quantum science is a good proof, now it is the light quantum, after entering the dark matter world, there will be more microscopic particles waiting for you to explore and develop. In the yin-yang relationship at the cosmic level, religion and science are in a balanced and opposing relationship, that is, they maintain their own relative independence, and religion belongs to religion;What is scientific is science. It is not that there is no struggle between them at all, but that their struggle is manifested through the human world.
In the human world, religion and science form an unbalanced antagonistic relationship, and there is an obvious confrontation and struggle between each other, and this phenomenon is between people;There are obvious manifestations between countries, which I believe everyone deeply understands, which is the difference between the yin and yang of the world and the yin and yang of the universe. In addition, there is another point to be explained, in the cognition of ordinary people, the spirit and the soul are usually combined together and called the soul, and it is believed that the human body is the residence of the soul, and the soul resides in the human body, and the dead soul leaves the human body. In fact, on the contrary, whether it is macroscopic or microcosm, the energy of the soul is far above the human body, and the inner part of the soul is directly connected to the whole universe, but there is indeed a small part of the soul that resides in the human body, such as the glow of the human body, the pulse of the meridians, the consciousness of human nature, etc., once a person dies, this part of the soul will return to her overall soul.
We now return to today's topic, "Why Humans Are Keen to Pursue Science and Stay Away from Religion", which of course refers to modern human beings. As early as 1500 years ago, in common sense, almost all the secrets of the world were known, and these secrets were revealed through religious doctrines. After 1500 years, some people found that what their predecessors said was not necessarily true, and they began to question it, and this was the beginning of science. There is a certain truth in this kind of popular science statement, and the real process is illustrated by illustration.
The A and B series are the sources of the universe in the diagram, and the Yin and Yang transition nodes of the A and B series are halfway through the reincarnation, that is, the position of the human world. Among them, the reincarnation of the microscopic circle is from simple to complex, and the macroscopic circle is just the opposite, from complex to simple, and they go to the opposite side of the world together. The same is true of science and religion corresponding to this, taking human life as an example, in the primitive stage, the science acting on the material form is very backward and completely covered by religion, with the promotion of reincarnation gradually moving towards the midpoint a and b, the material civilization begins to develop, the rise of science is unstoppable, and on the contrary, religion tends to move towards the end of the law. Until now, mankind has become more and more inseparable from science, and the decline of religion has become inevitable.
In addition, there is an important reason, the macroscopic life system needs a strong sense of life to experience, which is very critical to the innate quality of people, and at the same time, the acquired cultivation also requires great perseverance, so it is known as the difficult way, on the contrary, science often relies on people's five senses, and with the help of material means, greatly improves the ability of human beings to explore the microcosm.
If you have a mind to practice religion, you can refer to the author's book "Communicating with Heaven and Earth, Discussing Meditation" (check), meditation can absorb the positive essence of the celestial body. Contemporary human beings generally like to travel, to the park walking, including such as square dancing and other forms of exercise, this kind of behavior can be called gas collection, of course, mainly land mining, is very useful for people's physical health, why this kind of behavior is easy to make people addicted, in fact, it is in line with the innate instinct of some people.
Whether it is the macro of religion or the micro of science, this is the difference between people standing in the middle of the ground, and there is no difference between the big and the small as human beings in the world above the human worldThe difference between the past and the future. There is a saying in Buddhist scriptures that "a grain of rice can hold a universe", and it is believed that there is no difference between macrocosm and microcosm, and that there is no difference between one and not two!The second is the theory of relativity, which gives rise to all kinds of sizes;Far and near;The difference between right and wrong.
