Preface Friedrich Nietzsche claimed " The God is dead" when he saw a big tree. European Christians believe that God is in the heaven, don't they? The Duomos in many European countries let them have the same idea as what Nietzsche thought but there was something missing: big trees have big roots but Duomos have no root even though they are growing up toward heaven. The big trees have to be deep-rooted underneath the ground if they want to grow up toward heaven. This is a law of nature. You must accept Evil if you need God. You must accept Hell if you need Heaven. The Duomos don't match to a law of nature. That is why Christians are not able to explain existence of Evil stated in the Bible. The world is based on the dichotomy-God is not able to exist without Evil-which is inconsistent with the concept of God in the Bible. That is why Nietzsche claimed " God is dead" James Still wrote the book "Jack and the Wonder Beans" This is the story that Jack found a vine of some big bean tree and climbed it to reach the heaven. This story tells that there must be no heaven in the sky. The Duomos look up onto the heaven in the sky but it cannot reach the heaven unless they also take root into the hell under the ground. I was wondering how miraculous the Duomos had been constructed and how many lives they had taken to be built. The uncountable victims have been sleeping under the Duomos that mean the roots of them. The concept of God originated by men never accepts the existence of Evil even though men know the existence of Evil. The sky and the grounds. We live on the grounds and worship the sky that is the world of four dimensions called Time and Space. Scientists made the concept of the dimensions and found the world of four dimensions but not any more. The concept of the dimensions has the confidence there must be far more dimensions though we only have found up to the fourth. Some religious people insist there are more dimensions beyond the forth called love, compassion and finally to God but I do not agree with them. I must say religions are Maya, illusion. I am not an atheist nor a theist. I must, however, complain if the God is so unfair that there is no hell but heaven. The concept of fairness is superior to the concept of love and compassion because there are many levels of love and compassion but fairness is just fairness. From the point of dimensions, the world of one dimension is line, and its element is length. The world of two dimensions is plane, and its elements are length and width. The world of three dimensions is solid (space), and its elements are length, width and height. The world of four dimensions is time and space, and its elements are length, width, height and time. This is it in science, but still continues in religion. They say that the element of the fifth dimension is something such as love or compassion and it is not logical. Albert Einstein challenged to find out the fifth dimension but he failed and as a result he concluded the fifth dimension is the realm of the God. I try to look it from a different angle in this book. Shall we try to forget and approach the theory of dimensions on the basis of a law of cosmos? We are confident the world of three dimensions is Space and Space controlled and ruled by Time, fourth dimension. Time gives everything of Space equally for 24 hours a day, 365 and a quarter days a year. What is God? God is beyond our world. We cannot see the world of God. I cannot help saying God is Time and this concept is logical. I am, therefore, trying to approach God on the premise that God is Time on this book. Today I visited the town of Poland called Oswiecim, Auschwitz Concentration Camp where Nazis of Hitler killed off millions of people realized the sin of human beings. I would like to start writing this book not to forget this emotional moment. May 21, 2202 (at Krakow in Poland) Satoshi Nitta
Intermission between Part I, II and Part III The title "Man is Space & God is Time" occurred to me in Krokow, Poland when I visited Auschwitz Concentration Camp called Oswiecin in the suburbs of Krokow. The cry of the slaughtered people in the Camp reminded me of the film Schindler's List and shocked me to death. While Friedrich Nietzsche claimed "God is dead", I'd like to figure out how on earth man is going to live? what kind of criteria man uses to live? I hesitated to entitle this book with the word "God", but I dare to use it for the same reason in the book "An Autobiography of God". The speed of development in science shall make people go to extreme. Some can live with happiness only by believing in God. Some can live with happiness only by doubting of God. I believe in something beyond human knowledge, which means the existence of God. I don't, however, believe in the special relationship between man and God. This is the reason why I hesitated to use the word "God" in the titles of my books. As I am a right contrary man, I dared to use the word "God" in the title that mean "God is beside me" in Japanese. However I had an inspiration with the title and I believe that writing this kind of metaphysical books is my life work. This is the last time to use the word "God" in this book. This is why I wrote Intermission between Part I, II and Part III that is to be entitled The message from the Time -"Time bless you up"- September 26, 2002 Satoshi Nitta
Author’s Note As mentioned in the Intermission after Part I and II, using the word ‘God’ is against my will, so the title of Part III is not to be “The Message from Time” but “Time bless you up”. On the Website, in fact, Part III used to be classified as one book, but I was coming to realize that it should not be one book but the Part III of this book “Man is Space and God is Time”. I do hesitate to use the word ‘God’ in the titles of my works. However looking to the world where we are, I have no choice but to accept the existence of God that shall be matched to our world. The concept of God that has been believed as the Omnipotent can be replaced by a different concept of God that is familiar with man. I thought that I would omit the word ‘God’ entirely, but I dared to choose a difficult way to include “Time bless you up” in this book. I did not suppose that I would write the same kind of book as “An Autobiography of God”. I am confident, however, this book which I started to write in Krokow, Poland was finished off beyond my expectation. I remember the book “The guide book for spiritual journey ” word for word because I had been nursing many ideas. By contrast I do not remember exactly what I have written in this book and “An Autobiography of God “because I had inspiration when I was working on them. Part III “Time bless you up” is written in poetic phrases that are not logical and appeal how they move readers. It is hard for me to remember the content of this book. That’s why I’m much impressed as if I was just a reader when I read this book all over again. I have never had such impression so far. I would like you to enjoy reading this book like poems.
