The road to metaphysical world

Monologue 6　Indirect cause of discrimination, unfairness and war Only we human beings who have realized the concept of death have a right to kill ourselves, that is to say suicide. To commit suicide is a right. We believe that suicide is a sin. “You will fall into hell if you commit suicide.” “Your posterity will be cursed forever if you commit suicide.” ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ They contain a kind of threat relating to an after-death story. In other words, they indicate some intension not to let anyone commit suicide. Well, who is threatening? Is God? It is obvious that some human beings are threatening under the name of God. Belief in nature worship for mankind, who had been living in nature like other animals had, was transformed into religion by the concept of personified God because only human society has built the dual structure of the ruler and the ruled. The ruler made up religion under the name of God as a tool to control the ruled well. The ruled, slaves, were an important resource of production for the ruler who had been obtaining considerable profits by driving the slaves very hard; if they had committed suicide, the ruler would have lost everything. The slaves, however, knew instinctively that only death could liberate them from sufferings because life was nothing but a hard time for them. For the ruler a means to prevent the ruled, slaves, from suicide was religion, which made up the concept of God as being beyond human being and prohibited the slaves from committing suicide under the name of God. The religion, a theory of long-awaited Messiah, was born among the ruled because there had been religion based on the ruler’s logic at first. Such a vulgar intension has been penetrating into human subconscious in the long history of mankind; as a result human beings came to think of death as a taboo and of suicide as a sin. This is indeed a trauma that entangles us in our own net. The trauma triggered discrimination, unfairness and war. It is the reason why discrimination - the dual structure of the ruler and the ruled and the succession and inheritance system - prevails only in human society. A life in which we think of death as a taboo. A life in which we think of suicide as a sin. These two feelings of guilt are quite deep-rooted. Those who have no concept of death are all creatures except human beings. It is absolute monism, “there is neither life nor death.” Those who have the way of thinking that alive and dead are antinomy. It is relative monism of utilitarianism, “life is good and death is bad.” To be aware of the essence of dualism - life and death are two sides of the same coin, which is complimentary - is the next step we human should take. It is the essence of dualism, “life and death are two sides of the same coin; death is essence and life is just absence of death.” Furthermore, “to be beyond life and death,” that is to say trinity, is to take them just for one coin without the consciousness of life on heads and death on tails. Then, we will be able to see the identity of life and the essence of death, and finally to be aware that death and suicide are in fact one coin after all. Death is nothing but suicide. Only human beings, who have not been dead yet but are alive, are not aware of it; however, those who died realized it when they faced death. It proves that the thought of the cycle of reincarnation and the view of the after-death world are all false. The alive cannot understand how the dead feel; the dead cannot understand how the alive feel. We human beings living with relative monism of utilitarianism that “alive is good and dead is bad” cannot understand how the dead feel, on the other hand, the dead might have understood both the alive and the dead because they experienced both; they might have understood the essence of the coin, life and death, however, they would not teach it to us, the alive. It is said that someone who died could teach it to someone who live, on the contrary, someone who live could visit the world of the dead and return to this world. Thus religion was born to propagate the thought of the cycle of reincarnation in human society; as a result, we believe it reasonable to hold funeral rituals for the dead. There is not such a ritual among other creatures. Every creature quietly dies alone. Death is nothing but suicide. Death is nothing but natural death for other creatures that are with absolute monism, “there is neither life nor death.” Death is nothing but suicide for those who are “beyond life and death” and can understand that “life and death are two sides of the same coin; death is essence and life is just absence of death.” The world of other creatures is a world of the total feeling with nature. There is only a feeling of death - they know that self-actualized natural death is “just to die”. The world of our human beings is a world of the partial view separated from nature. It is the world where the self-contradictive concept of death - “I will surely die someday” - has emerged. The world “beyond life and death” is a world of the total view where they have recovered the total feeling with nature through the experience of the partial view. It is not only a whole mission of all human beings but also a partial mission of individuals to reach the total view of trinity - “beyond life and death”- after experiencing the absolute monism, at first, “there is neither life nor death,” next the relative monism of utilitarianism, “alive is good and dead is bad,” and last the partial view that we have understood the essence of relative dualism, “life and death are two sides of the same coin and death is essence and life is just absence of death.” Total feeling → partial view → total view. The total feeling is a world feeling only with the way of being that they don’t know about death. It means the world with natural death where they know the time of death. The partial view is a world view that they know the way of being and the way of thinking. It means the world with murder, sudden death, such as death from illness or in accident. The total view is a world view that transcends the way of being and the way of thinking. It means the world with perfect suicide where they decide their time of death by themselves, that is they kill themselves. The world view intelligence should aim at is the world view that we know our own mission. Mission is going to appear when partial view and total view meet. There is no mission in total feeling of absolute monism. It is not a feeling of mission but a view of mission. The total view is the raison d’être of intelligence and the view of mission does not appear in the partial view. To put it another way, a matured ego is nothing but the view of mission. Human ego, “I am ・・・”, is the original cause of evils, which draws discrimination, unfairness and war by distinguishing self from others and also discriminatory systems such as the dual structure of the ruler and the ruled and the succession and inheritance system; however, it is absolutely impossible for us to remove our ego. It is not easy to entirely live at “now & here” because “now”, the axis of time, and “here”, the axis of space, don’t cross. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity is evidently wrong that says the time of fourth dimension stands on three-dimensional space. If so, we all human beings will be able to entirely live at “now & here” and attain enlightenment. It is not easy to entirely live at “now & here” because “now”, the axis of time, and “here”, the axis of space, don’t cross. Other creatures that entirely live at “now & here” have no concept of death. As a result, The concept of death is nothing but the concept of time. It can be said that death = time. It also can be said that the relation between “now” and “here” is an ultimate matter. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle might be quite right that says, “The position and momentum cannot be fixed at the same time”, in plain words “The position of moving one cannot be fixed and the speed of static one cannot be fixed.” To find out the view of mission is to attain enlightenment, which is not a matter of goal (position) but of degree (momentum = speed) as long as we are alive (move). We have no choice but to aim for the matured ego. Human ego makes us think of time - past, present and future - because it prevents us from being at “now & here”. Worldly desire, which Buddhism defines as the cause of hard times in life, is nothing but to think of the time - past, present and future. In brief, we have been under the control of time. We have been under the control of death. We, however, cannot abandon the worldly desires for now, because having acquired the idea, the concept of time = the concept of death, gave us intelligence. We have no choice but to develop the childish ego into the matured one. To attain enlightenment is not a matter of goal (position) but of degree (momentum = speed) as long as we live (move). A matter of “now” and “here” can be said in other words, a matter of the horizontal (real time) world and the vertical (imaginary time) world. The horizontal (real time) world is quantitative but the vertical (imaginary time) world is qualitative. It is one of the causes why we lead a delusional life that we think of the quantitative matter and the qualitative matter in the same world view. Let me quote the chapter 838 “Now & here” and “nowhere” in my book “Reality within Sleep, Dream within Reality”. Chapter 838 “Now & here” and “nowhere” It is the theory of relativity to think quantitatively. It is the law of absolute to think qualitatively. It is the theory of relativity to place the four-dimensional (time & space) world above the three-dimensional (space) world. It is the law of absolute to place the four-dimensional (quality & quantity) world above the three-dimensional (quantity) world. The law of absolute is the law of stillness while the theory of relativity is the theory of motion. The law of stillness is applicable to every part of the circular motion - birth (starting point), life (circuit) and death (ending point) - which is the repetition of stillness and motion while the theory of motion is only applicable to life (circuit) in the circular motion. At first Albert Einstein thought of space as a stationary model in building up the theory of relativity; however, afterward he had to revise it to a motion model, which is an inflation model and a deflation model, because the theory of relativity is nothing but the theory of motion. The theory of relativity includes some well-known equations. E＝mC² Gij=(8πG／C⁴)Tij The equation, the velocity of light (C) is to be constant - light is absolute substance, is not the law of stillness (static and motion) but the theory of motion. A. Einstein tried hard to root out the uncertainty principle developed by Werner Heisenberg because the principle was completely opposite to the theory of relativity. “The position of moving one cannot be fixed and the momentum (speed) of static one cannot be fixed” is the core of the uncertainty principle, which we ordinary people also think reasonable. It means that the time axis and the space axis cannot cross and the time axis of the fourth dimension cannot be placed above the space axis of the third dimension; the principle negated the theory of relativity which placed the four-dimensional time and space above the three-dimensional space. Theoretically saying, we came to live a life thinking of the past and future because we have placed the time of past, present and future above three-dimensional space which is “here” out of “now & here”. It is “now & here” because the time axis of “now” and the space axis of “here” cannot cross. It is “nowhere” if the time axis of “now” and the space axis of “here” could cross. “Nowhere” is nothing but the time of past, present and future because the theory of relativity is relative monism of utilitarianism at “nowhere”. The scale of a measure of the time, the past and the future, is not one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one month nor one year but one second ago, one minute ago, one hour ago, one day ago, one month ago and one year ago or one second later, one minute later, one hour later, one day later, one month later and one year later; and it is the present when the ago and the later approached to the utmost limit. As a result, the time of past, present and future is a quantitative scale of horizontal time which is long or short, converging the past and future of “nowhere” into the present of “nowhere”. One breath, one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one month and one year without the ago nor the later are nothing but “now & here” that is the imaginary intersection of the horizontal time axis (space axis) and the vertical time axis. The time, which we have believed (imagined) to be time, is not time but space; and real time is neither the past, the present nor the future but “now” out of “now & here”. We mistake memory for time since we don’t think of “now” out of “now & here” as time but of the past, the present and the future as time. The identity of the past, the present and the future is not time but space (scene) as the identity of memory is space (scene). We have to be with anxiety and agony because we have mistaken the space called the past, the present and the future, which was born of imagination, as time and placed it above real space which is self. It is a next step we have to take to recognize that memory is not time but space (scene) and neither are the past, the present and the future. Somehow we have been having the mistaken idea that the space called the past, the present and the future is time. “Now” is the vertical (imaginary time) qualitative world and “here” is the horizontal (real time) quantitative world. I have compared life to a theatre showing a movie in one of my books, “Reality within Sleep, Dream within Reality”. There are audience seats from the 3rd floor, the 4th floor to the 5th floor in the theatre. The 3rd floor is for awakening during the daytime. The 5th floor is for sleeping in the night. It is a life for us to go up and down between the 3rd floor and the 5th floor and watch a movie reflected on a white screen at the back of a stage; however, we cannot see the real stage in front of us but can see only the white screen, that is to say scenery, from the 3rd floor and the 5th floor. We are passing the 4th floor from where the real stage as well as the scenery can be seen. The one who is going up and down between the 3rd floor and the 5th floor to watch the movie in the seat is “I“, false multiple self, which is ego. The movie on the white screen of scenery that we watch from the 3rd floor is so-called reality. The movie on the white screen of scenery that we watch from the 5th floor is so-called dream. The so-called reality we see when we are awake in the daytime and the so-called dream we see when we are sleeping in the night are all the same; and only the seats we are sitting in are different. The one who is sitting on the 4th floor only where a play on the real stage can be seen is only one real self “I”, which is the matured ego. Unaware of the world of the 4th floor, we continue to dream while going up and down between the 3rd floor and the 5th floor without stopping over the 4th floor. This is a life of human beings who have obtained intelligence. Let me quote from my book “The Absolute Cosmos” Part (III) [The absolute theory of evolution] Chapter 49 [The world of law beyond absolute and relative]. Chapter 49 The world of law beyond absolute and relative We have been making perverse journey of life riding on the train which is the name of time. We can sight the moving scenery outside the window however the scenery named space is static. We can sight the scenery named space as if it is moving, because the train named time is moving. An image (movie) reflected on the white screen at the stage is the scenery outside the window. A still frame films in the projection room is nothing but substance and an identification of a movie (animation). Real one riding on the train named time is nothing but real oneself sighting a movie at the audience seat. We have been sighting past/present/future outside the window that is continuance of "here" of space from "now "of time. Motion ‘space’ is the world of space sighting from time. Image ‘space’ is the world of space sighting from time. Relative ‘space’ is the world of space sighting from time. Static ‘space’ is the world of space. Substance ‘space’ is the world of space. The absolute cosmos is the world of space. Beyond static/motion ‘space’ is your own world in the train. Beyond substance/image ‘space’ is your own world in the train. Beyond absolute/relative ‘space’ is your own world in the train. Death is the ending of a movie by stopping (standing still) the rotation of the projector. Real one sitting at the audience seat has nothing to do with death. The one who had passed away as well as the one who has been living have been always sitting at the audience seat. To live at "now & here" is to change the seat of 4th floor [beyond substance/image ‘space’, beyond static/motion ‘space’ and beyond the absolute/relative ‘space’ where it is possible to overview both the scenery (screen) behind the stage which is the world of image, motion and relative, and real stage which is the world of substance, stillness and absoluteness] for real one from 3rd floor (the world of realty) and 5th floor (the world of sleep) for false one. Death is that moving scenery outside the window that is animation is to become static scenery that is still frame film for the train named time by stopping (standing still) at the station. In other word, Death is nothing but to leave the train named time where we have been making perverse journey of life. Real one left the train named time has nothing to do with death. To live at "now & here" is to stand still in the train named time by closing the curtain of the window. As a final result, There is neither life nor death in the beyond finite/infinite ‘space’, beyond substance/image ‘space’, beyond static/motion ‘space’, beyond the absolute/relative ‘space’, ‘beyond static/motion space of beyond light/darkness and beyond silence/sound’ which is the world of beyond ‘space’ at radix 3(n) = exponent (3(n)) and the world without life nor death is nothing but the world of the law beyond absolute and relative. In other word, we human beings obtaining the intelligence must go beyond the so-called reality and dream. It is our mission to live a life beyond sleep. The ending word of “the Heart Sutra” which is “the world of beyond” is showing “beyond sleep” to us. We have been on an illusory journey, life, on a train called “now” on the time axis. From the window we can see the passing views, called “here” on the space axis, which are still in fact. Illusion is nothing but that we see the views as if they are moving and we are still despite the fact that we are moving and the views are still. It was Nicolaus Copernicus who first noticed the illusion and warned the people. In those days people believed that the train named “the earth” they were on was still and the sky as a view from the window, was moving; and treated Nicolaus Copernicus, who had asserted that the train was really moving and the view from the window was still, as a madman. There is no one who treats him as a madman for now after 500 years have passed; however, we are still under the illusion that we are still and the views are moving despite the fact that we are moving and the views are still. Riding on the train called “now” on the time axis, we are seeing the view called “here” on the space axis from the window. It is indeed a proof that the time axis and the space axis cannot cross; Werner Heisenberg beat Albert Einstein at the fight between the theory of relativity and the uncertainty principle. To die is nothing but to get off the train called “now” on the time axis at the view (station) on the space axis. Then we will be able to realize, for the first time, that our preconceived idea that we (the train) are still and the views are moving is delusion and that we are moving and the views are still is fact. That is why we can get off the train: we can die. We fear to die because we have misconceived that we (the train) are still and the views are moving; however, we should not be afraid of getting off it (dying) if the views are still. It is just delusion that we have believed that death is fearful. We must know the identity of “now & here” in order to liberate ourselves from the delusion. We are afraid of death partly because it has no tomorrow. “If I die, I won’t be able to see my lover or talk with him/her. There will be no tomorrow. This is death, so I’m afraid of it!” However, there is no tomorrow even though we are alive. There is only “now & here” when we are alive. Strictly saying, there is only “here”. There is no tomorrow. We are going to know it if shortening time to the limit. One year, one day, one hour, one minute, one second, one-tenth of a second, one-hundredth of a second, ・・・・ one-millionth of a second, ・・・・. Eventually, There are no others. Who is “here” is only one self. “Now” when the only one self is at “here” is “zero hour", which is the limit value of time, but not the time such as one year, one day, one hour, one minute, one second, one-tenth of a second, one-hundredth of a second, ・・・・ one-millionth of a second, ・・・・. Time means passing, moving after all. “Now” is nothing but a static state. That is why the concept of death is the concept of time. It proves that we human beings having the concept of death defer everything in life. It also proves that we human beings having the concept of death think of the past, the present and the future. It also proves that we human beings having the concept of death think of ego as self. There is no tomorrow at “now & here”. Death is nothing but to live at “now & here”. We have been repeating discrimination, unfairness and wars with the dual structure of the ruler and the ruled, the discrimination system of succession and inheritance because we are thinking of the past, present and future (yesterday, today and tomorrow) which is space but not live at “now & here”.
