"the blind and dumb both spake and saw" - Be Humble and Moneyless like Little Children

Be Humble and Moneyless like Little Children

What are conditions to be accepted in Heaven?  There are the following descriptions on this issue in the Gospel (Matthew 18).

18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Conversely, there are too many arrogant people in this world.  The more a man gets money, the more arrogant the man becomes.  But, a little child without money is humble.  His judgment is not biased due to influence of money.  He must see power and wisdom of the God in everything.  And as overwhelmed by God's wisdom and power, he cannot help but become humble.      

So, the one who feels and finds God's power in everything to become humble as much as possible is accepted in Heaven.  In other word, the most humble one looking the smallest one in this world will become as great as possible in Heaven.  Therefore, rich men are too small to be accepted in Heaven.

By the way, historically many emperors, kings, etc. tried to obtain eternal life.  In quest for eternal life, they asked scholars, religious people, wise men, etc. about the way to obtain eternal life.  They also sent expedition teams afar off to search for secret medicines for longevity.  But, the Son of God Jesus Christ taught poor people that eternal life could be obtained if they would become humble like little children who had no money.

So, it is no use for rich men to spend big money in their quest for the way to obtain longevity and eternal life.  They have to abandon their wealth so as to keep no money like small children.

The mankind has developed material civilization so much to date in their quest for happiness, longevity, and eventually eternal life.  But, to achieve their ultimate goal, obtaining eternal life, they have to abandon material civilization.  Indeed, little children are useless in developing, maintaining, and keeping material civilization.

However, little children before being brainwashed by material civilization sometimes show supernatural or psychic power.  They can bend a spoon by psychic power, speak with spirits of plants, see future incidents, recall their previous lives, etc.  Indeed, little children are near the spirit world.

Therefore, to obtain eternal life we have to die as poor and humble men like little children.  It means that eternal life is not what can be obtained in this world.  It is given to us after our death.  Eternal life is in the afterlife or in the spirit world.

As this teaching of the Son of God Jesus Christ is so impressive and truthful, most of Europeans from Roman citizens to contemporary European citizens have had faith in Christianity.  That is why Christianity has never faded away from Europe.

However, Satan has almost succeeded in making Christianity powerless nowadays.  Indeed, most of people of today would choose money in this world over the teaching of Christ Jesus related to the afterlife or the spirit world.  They are arrogantly neglecting or suppressing the poor who are as poor as little children.

We have to truly seek for eternal life, abandoning material wealth and money that are useless for entering into Heaven where we are given eternal life.

Matthew 12, King James Version
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

"till he send forth judgment unto victory" - From Science/Engineering to Psychic World

Farewell to Autumn Around Tokyo

From Science/Engineering to Psychic World

A Japanese doctor in engineering named Kazumi Masaki (1916-2002) made 3,000 inventions in his life.  Indeed, he was a major player behind the scene in industrial development of Japan after WWII.  But, he was not a simple engineer who worked in Osaka University for 40 years as head of work shop center of the engineering faculty.

Masaki wrote that he could put his brain in the state of emitting the alpha or theta waves through a special method of breathing.  In the alpha wave state, a man can make an invention; in the theta wave state, a man can cause a miracle, according to Masaki.

He mastered this method when he was a teenager.  He lay down on the floor, taking in air to the lower abdomen for seven seconds, holding the breath for seven second, and exhaling the air in seven seconds.  He continued this way of breathing for an hour in his home every day.  Then, suddenly one day he saw bright light in darkness and got some supernatural ability such as future prediction.  But as someone said to him that such breading would make him die an early death, he stopped the practice, but its effect seemed to continue.     

Before WWII, he entered into Osaka University to learn in various academic disciplines.  After graduation, he remained in the university for further study and finally became a staff.  Although he was offered a faculty position, he did not accept it but worked as a technical staff member.  

Masaki filed 3,000 patent applications in his lifetime, but he did not pay registry fees for most of inventions after patent approval.  Indeed, he married a daughter of a rich man so that he did not have to earn big money.  Therefore, manufacturers could use his inventions for free, which brought new energy mainly to the electric and electronics industry in Japan after WWII. 

Masaki did not believe in existence of spirits and the afterlife till he saw Uri Geller performing spoon bending in a Japanese TV program around 1970.  He measured a spoon used in a test of supernatural power of a Japanese boy using his psychic power to bend a spoon in a TV studio.  Superficially the spoon did not look being bent, but Masaki found that it was slightly warped as Masaki used a special measurement tool.  It shocked Masaki, and he started to study supernatural power and psychic power.  Then various miracles happened around him such as apparition of a wooden statue of deity of Buddhism.  The, he wrote several books on his experiences, also making inventions to enhance psychic power.  

According to Masaki, the mankind made three evil inventions: gasoline engines, dynamite, and nuclear power.  But, artificial intelligence might become the fourth one.  It looks like turning into an easy tool to make money or help criminals.

Anyway, Masaki later came to believe that he had been a famous Japanese monk of Buddhism in one of his previous life in the 13th century. 

Anyway, Masaki who had believed in only science and engineering till his 50s of age finally came to admit existence of psychic power and spiritual energy.  He also heard voices of a holy spirit telling him that his duration of life would be extended to 90s as Masaki contributed to welfare and happiness of people with his free patents of inventios.  But, for some unknown reason, he died in his 80s.

What should be also noted is that Masaki believed that carbon dioxide caused global warming when the gas was near the ground, but it caused global cooling when it was floating at high altitude reflecting more solar light.

Matthew 12, King James Version
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

"to God the things that are God's" - With all of Hearts, all of Souls, and all of Minds

 

Around Tokyo (with Tokyo Sky-Tree Tower far

With all of Hearts, all of Souls, and all of Minds

Rules of life are important for you to live your life safely, meaningfully, and success fully.  Wise parents would teach rules of life to their children so that they will not at least make fatal mistakes to become unhappy.  Clever young men should ask their parents, reliable teachers, excellent seniors for advise concerning rules of life. 

So, it is understandable that a young man asked Christ Jesus a question about the most important commandment in the law 2,000 years ago: 

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22)

But, today most parents, teachers, etc. would answer that the most important things in life is to consider yourself first and make money as much as possible.  Even Satan would give advise that love money and respect richer men while neglecting the poor.  Indeed, Satan's intent is to make people respect and revere it.  Truly, Satan is above the richest men in this world where most people are occupied by appetite for wealth and money.  Virtually, money has become a global religion where Satan is respected and revered as a god, since money is another form of Satan  

From this point of view, the above words of Christ Jesus to a young man should be regarded as aimed at Satan around him.

In other word, it is common that people love money (Satan) with all of their hearts, all of their souls, and all of their minds, and neglect poor neighbors while trying to be richer than rich neighbors. 

However, based on other words of Christ Jesus, it is apparent that poor and faithful men will enter into Heaven after death in this world to enjoy eternal and happy life.

Anyway, you must not love Satan (also known as money) with all of your hearts, all of your souls, and all of your minds.

Mark 12, King James Version
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
