The Ultimate Realm

第六章　奮鬥之道

第五節　第三神論 　　Now that the argument of this book has been carried to this point, it arrives at a conclusion, and that is the Third Theory of Godhood. 　　本書論證至此，已可下一結論，即「第三神論」是也。 　　The Third Theory of Godhood is the third era of divine power. It is also the phenomena of divine power as observed by present-day sciences. In ancient…

第四節　精神之鍛鍊 　　Since ancient times religious believers have long grappled with a difficult mystery, and that is how to hold fast, in this present body, to the endless work of tempering the three treasures: essence, ch’i and spirit. What should the path of such tempering be? It lies in purifying the heart and reducing desires. It…

第三節　神的權威 　　The above chapters looked at human’s ways of approaching spiritual entities, with the human playing the active role and spirits the passive one. Observations were made from the human point of view. This section will take the standpoint of spiritual entities as its starting point. 　　以上各節，皆為人類對神之接近，以人為主動，神為被動，從吾人本身為出發點而觀察者也。至於本節，則自神之立場為出發點而立論矣。 　　The Lord is ruler over all spiritual entities…

第二節　親和力之關係 　　Having looked into the spirit realm, one may now ask: Is there any way for humans to make connection with this realm? The answer is that cultivating bonding and harmonizing forces (sympathetic force) is sufficient. 　　靈界之狀況明矣，人類欲求與此靈界中發生一種關係，究有何法乎？曰：培養其親和力足矣。 　　Bonding and harmonizing forces are an attraction of opposites as an effect of e-tropicity. This is because human…

第一節　靈的境界 　　What is the realm of spirit? It is the non-physical realm that living beings enter when they pass away. This realm cannot be seen or heard, and in itself has no definite phenomena which prove its existence. But we cannot relegate it to the category of non-existent fantasy just because our eyes cannot see…

第五章　精神之寄托

第二節　人生之性質 　　A. The senses of the body: In the human body there are two basic components, as we have noted above, and these are e-tropons and harmonons. These two elemental particles influence each other. Harmonons of course can control e-tropons, but e-tropons can also influence harmonons. Harmonons are “spirit”, and e-tropons are “flesh”. The struggle…

第一節　生命之來源 　　A. The law by which e-tropons aggregate into objects has been discussed in Chapter I above. The origin of life requires two basic constituents of the cosmos to be in balance. That is, only the proper combination of harmonons and e-tropons can give rise to vital force in low-level objects and to life itself…

第四章　生命之究竟 　　This chapter treats the origin, the combination and transformation of life, as well as matters of karma and betterment. In other words, it addresses the ultimate questions of life. 　　此章說明生命之來源、配合、轉化及其因果與向上的問題，換言之，即為生命之究竟問題。
