"A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho" - Republicans Accompanied by Democrats after the Great Flood

Around Tokyo

Republicans Accompanied by Democrats after the Great Flood

According to a Jewish story, when Noah built a big ship to save animals from a big flood and invited many and various kinds to the ship, there came a spirit of goodness.

But Noah stopped the spirit, saying, "You need a partner." Then the spirit of goodness left Noah and again returned to Noah with a spirit of evil. Noah accepted the pair finally. Since then, goodness has been always accompanied by evil in the world after the great flood.

Rather, accordingly, we may imagine that when the God built a big ship to save living things from a big flood and invited many and various kinds, there came two men. One named Adam had a wife named Eve, but another man had no wife. So, the God stopped the lonely man and told to come with his partner. The man left the God and again returned to the God with a virus, saying that Eve might give birth to children for Adam, but my virus could help them evolve by working on their DNA. So, the God let the man and the virus into the ship. Since then, the mankind has to be accompanied by viruses.

In other words, human goodness has been refined and exalted through its fight against evil. A good man can be further better and enrich content of his goodness by more understanding and fighting evil.

In addition, it is thought viruses have affected human genes through millions of years.

"About 8 percent of human DNA comes from viruses inserted into our genomes in the distant past, in many cases into the genomes of our pre-human ancestors millions of years ago.
Most of these viral genes come from retroviruses, RNA viruses that insert DNA copies of their own genes into our genomes when they infect cells." (https://newsroom.uw.edu/news/genes-%E2%80%98fossil%E2%80%99-virus-human-dna-found-be-active#:~:text=About%208%20percent%20of%20human,genomes%20when%20they%20infect%20cells.)

In this context, it cannot be Satan that has caused this corona-pandemic but rather the Angel of Death who follows the order of the God to punish the mankind who have built this rotten and corrupt material civilization.

What's more horrible, there is a possibility that new viruses might appear with the ability to change our genes without causing our suspicion. One day, we may find that people around us have different genes and accordingly change their physical properties for good or bad. And, in the worst case, the mankind go extinct due to the new genes implanted into DNA by viruses.

However, there is no assurance that the mankind can still go on in the world without viruses.

Probably, the ancient Jewish people must have thought that to let goodness and virtue live and develop, we have to always watch, observe, and learn from evil.

Nonetheless, when Christ Jesus was betrayed and executed, the role of evil should have been manifested, since the incident resulted in establishment of Christianity.

So, accordingly, we may imagine that when Noah built a big ship to save animals from a big flood and invited many and various kinds to the ship, there came a man to be the ancestor of American Republicans. But Noah stopped the man, saying, "You need a partner." Then the man left Noah and again returned to Noah with a woman to be the ancestor of American Democrats. Since then, Republicans have been always accompanied by Democrats after the great flood in America to date.

Luke 10 King James Version

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

" there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed" - Immunity against DNA of Satan

Autumn around Tokyo

Immunity against DNA of Satan

There is one short story written by a Japanese past famous writer, Ryunosuke Akutagawa in 1918, namely a century ago when the Spanish flu was spreading, which is known to most of the Japanese, as it was originally written for children and thus has been introduced in Japanese text books over decades:

One day, the Buddha watched down Hell from a clear pond of Paradise to find a particular sinner suffering in a pool of blood. The Buddha wanted to save the sinner since he once saved life of a spider under his foot without crushing it, though based on vagrant compassion. So, the Buddha took the silvery thread of a spider in Paradise and lowered it down into Hell. The sinner found the thread coming down from shining Paradise and started to climb it up. But when he found that other sinners in Hell were following him and climbing up the same thread of the spider, he feared that the thread would be cut off due to the weight of all the sinners climbing. So he shouted down to the following sinners to stop climbing: "This is my thread, only mine!" At the moment the thread was cut off above the sinner, and all the sinners fell down to Hell. The Buddha felt a little sadness but walked away from the clear pond of Paradise.

It was thought that this story could be used as a lesson teaching Children not to be selfish and help and save one another, although the author Akutagawa was a more sophisticated person who later committed a suicide.

But, some Japanese thought that a thread of a spider would be naturally cut off due to its own weight if it extends too long.

The density of spider's thread is 1.28 g/cm^3; the strength is 20,000 kg/cm^2. By dividing the strength by the density, it is found that the specific strength is 156 km (about 100 kilo-miles), which means that the thread would be naturally cut off if the distance between Heaven and Hell is 156 km or more without a sinner climbing it up. Therefore, it is concluded that the distance between Paradise and Hell is less than 156 km if gravity in the space works in the same manner as on the ground.

However, the aim of the story is not to have readers calculate the distance between Heaven or Paradise and Hell.

One day, the Buddha watched down Hell, which is this world. And, he lowered a thread of something for people to be saved. But as the Buddha found that people were infected by viruses, he cut it off to prevent viruses from invading Paradise. So, a disciple of the Buddha in Paradise asked why the Great Mater would not save infected people. The Buddha said, "If it is corona-viruses that have infected them, I would save them. But those viruses that have infected people have DNA of Satan who is trying to contaminate Paradise." "Great is our Sacred Master!" shouted the disciple of the Buddha. "The Holy Buddha keeps our Paradise always clean!"

This humble story tells that those who have immunity against DNA of Satan should be allowed to enter into and live in Heaven with Christ Jesus.

Just to make sure, Akutagawa also wrote some short stories related to Christianity.

Matthew 10 King James Version
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

"for a camel to go through the eye of a needle" - How to Run away from One's Shadow

A Park around Tokyo

How to Run away from One's Shadow

In a Japanese book (a collection of various stories) written 800 years ago, there is a story about Confucius, a great teacher and philosopher who lived in the warring States period of China 2500 years ago.

When Confucius and his disciples were playing music on the bank of a river, an old man came by boat. When the music ended, the old man asked one of Confucius' disciples who the leader was: "Is he a king, a minister, or any exalted personage?" The disciple answered, "It is our master traveling the world to teach kings, ministers, and people about politics, philosophy, courtesy, ethics, etc."

Then, the old man said, "Oh, what a waste of life! It is like a man running around trying to flee from his own shadow. If you want to flee from your own shadow, you should sit in a shady area."

As the old man left the place, getting on board, the disciple went back to Confucius and told him what the old man had said. Then, Confucius said, "He is a great man. Go and summon him back." But, there was no sight of the boat and the old man.

Confucius was known, of course, as a representative Confucianist, in Japan from old days. His teaching was well known and studied in Japan, since Analects of Confucius was imported into Japan around the 4th century. His Confucianism respected culture and religion of older Chinese dynasties. Confucius thought that as old dynasties had gone and whole China got into the warring States period, ancient courtesy and ethics were lost as with the music for rites and festivals.

I think that this story about Confucius and the old man was created in Japan 800 years ago when Buddhism was popular among Japanese noble people, ruling samurais, and ordinary people.

Confucius taught how men should live decently. Buddha taught how men should abandon their life gracefully. It may be wiser to leave unclean society and find oneself for a man to get true satisfaction and achieve true salvation of his soul, since human world cannot be the Pure Land.

Yet, Christ Jesus said that the Kingdom of God could come to those who heard words of the God and acted accordingly.

In this context, it is interesting to think what stories should have been created if Christianity had reached Japan 800 years ago.

Nonetheless, it is also interesting to think that a man cannot run away from his shadow (sins) even if he could improve the unclean society (which forces him to commit sins).

Mark 10 King James Version
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

"to inherit eternal life" - Viruses without Minds without Mentioning Spirits

Around Tokyo

Viruses without Minds without Mentioning Spirits

Jewish tradition provides a clear idea that a man is made of the body and a spirit. Accordingly, Jewish people believe in the God, which was exemplified by Christ Jesus. But it is Christians who believe in the God due to Christ Jesus.

Even most of no Jewish people or no Christians believe that a man is made of the body and the mind. Further those who deny it use their minds to deny it. And their minds are under control of their spirits given by the God.

For example, Buddhists never mind who gave a spirit and the mind to a man or how they were generated. The Buddha was the greatest master in this world and the spiritual world but not the creator of them. However, as men's spirits are saved in this world and the spiritual world by believing Buddha's teaching, Buddhists are content with their religion without feeling a need to think about the creator of this world and the spiritual world.

Anyway, everybody should agree that a man is made of the material body that can be seen and the mind under control of a spirit that cannot be seen. Without the living body, the mind cannot be alive. And without control of a spirit, the mind cannot be integrated.

Science tells us that our mind is a phenomenon of work (mostly electric) of brain cells that constitute networks through their connection extending to autonomous nerves that affect every cell in the body. However, the brain work based on work of brain cells (mostly electric, though very minute) cannot be so integrated that the brain generates self-consciousness and various deeply-abstract concepts including those related to the spiritual world, Heaven, the hell, Satan, and the God.

It should be thought that work of a spirit on the mind and subordinate work of the mind on the body can be somewhat observed through work of electrical current in the brain but not that electrical current in the brain or between brain cells is not the sole source of the mind and a spirit.

In other words, the mind can be generated in the brain of the body and its work can be observed through minute electrical current but the mind needs a spirit to work in an integrated manner.

In this context, a living cell must also use very minute electrical current to live and control its life, even though the work of its electrical current cannot be called the mind. A multicellular organism further develops a network of this electrical current connecting each cell to harmonize all the cells, even though the work of the network cannot be called the mind. However, along with evolution, it constitutes nerve systems from such networks of electrical current running through cells. And finally, it constitutes the brain of higher organisms such as a man to generate a phenomenon of work of the brain to be called the mind. And, the God sends a spirit to each mind to control it.

Every living thing is based on DNA and genes. Every cell of a living thing has genes and DNA that decide the basic structure enabling establishment of networks of electrical current through its cells.

Viruses have also genes and DNA (the mother body of genes) or RNA (a mechanism to realize to gene information). Although viruses need materials in human cells to replicate themselves based on their genes, viruses can be regarded as a special type of living things. Therefore, they have their own networks of electrical current as a kind of a nerve system of multicellular organisms. So, a medicine to suppress work of a virus must work on this electrical current network to stop its living activity through chemical reactions.

Maybe the best immune system against viruses should be realized by the specific genes and DNA in human cells that generate special electrical current within cells against invading viruses to disturb and suppress internal work (very primitive ultra-minute nerve system) of viruses. And to activate such genes, we should concentrate work of the mind so that specific electrical current runs through brain calls, their networks, and further nerve systems to each cell.

Anyway, fortunately to us, a virus has its body but only a very primitive ultra-minute nerve system (at a level of molecules) that cannot be even called a mind without mentioning a spirit. Viruses cannot rule human cells that can be ultimately controlled by spirits coming from the spiritual world.
