快乐的本质和真实的自由

第八章 缘起法则

我们知道，人类的四商出厂设置是与生俱来的，差异这么大，有人认为这是上帝设置的，但是，如果上帝真的存在，上帝是公平的、公义的、仁慈的，他不会干这种既不公平公义，又不仁慈的事。所以，可以肯定，这个事情不是上帝干的。

纽约著名的正统派犹太领袖戈德斯坦拉问爱因斯坦：“您信仰上帝吗？”

爱因斯坦给出了最著名的回答版本：“我信仰斯宾诺莎的那个在事物的和谐有序中，显示出来的上帝，而不信仰那个同人类的命运和行为有牵连的上帝。”

爱因斯坦另外一句著名的言论说：“上帝是不会掷骰子的。”

这两段言论的观点其实是一致的。都是说这个世界是统一的，是遵循因果律的。

斯宾诺莎是17世纪的犹太裔哲学家，他认为宇宙间只有一种实体，也就是作为整体的宇宙本身，而上帝和宇宙就是一回事。

在《我的世界观》这本书中，爱因斯坦用了好几篇文章来阐述他的宗教观，解释宗教与科学的关系。

爱因斯坦说，有某种东西是我们无法洞察的，只能以某种最原始的形式，才能把握那最深奥的理性和最灿烂的美，这种认识和情感构成了真正的宗教情怀。

他同时强调，只有从这个意义上讲，他才是一个具有深沉的宗教情怀的人。他无法想象，造物主对所造之物进行奖赏和惩罚。

爱因斯坦告诉人们，对他来说，能觉察生命和意识的永恒奥秘，了解现实世界的神奇结构，领悟自然界展示出的理性，哪怕只能得到其中极小的部分，也心满意足了。

也就是说，爱因斯坦承认了，人类现有的理性是无法完全洞彻宇宙人生的奥秘的。他所说的“某种最原始的形式”应该是指人类的灵商。 The essence of happiness and true freedom

Chapter 8 The Origin of the Law

It’s now well aware the framed structures of the four quotients of human beings are innate, and the differences are vast. Some people think they are arranged by God. However, if a God that is just and merciful exist, he would not perform anything that is neither fair, just, nor merciful. Therefore, they are certainly not of God.

Goldsteiner, a prominent New York Orthodox Jewish leader, asked Einstein, "Do you believe in God?"

Einstein gave the most renown response: "I believe in Spinoza’s God, who is revealed in the harmony and order of life itself; and not believe in a God who is implicated in the fate and behaviour of mankind."

Einstein said famously, "God doesn't play dice."

These two statements are actually the same. It is said that the world is unified and follows the law of cause and effect.

Spinoza was a 17th-century Jewish philosopher who believed that there is only one existence in the universe: the universe itself as a whole; God and the universe are one and the same.

In the book "The World As I See it” Einstein used several articles to elaborate in his perspective the relationship between religion and science.

Einstein said that there are things that are beyond conceptualization, and we can only approach it in its’ most splendid beauty, its’ true primitive form. This knowledge and emotion constitute compassionate religious feelings.

He also emphasized that only through this perspective could he be a person with deep religious feelings. He could not imagine a creator who rewards and punishes his own creations.

Einstein told people that, for him, it was satisfying to be able to perceive the eternal mysteries of life and consciousness to understand the miraculous structure of the real world, and to grasp even a tiny fraction of the rationality displayed by nature.

That is to say, Einstein admitted that the existing rationality of human beings could not fully penetrate the mysteries of the universe and life. By stating "some of the most primitive forms" he may as have well have been referring to a human’s spiritual quotient.

任何事物都有前因后果。人类的出厂设置只是一个结果，那么前因是什么呢？我们必须从因果律来谈这个问题。

我们知道，现代科学的所有理论体系，是以公理为基础的。所谓公理，是指依据人类理性的不证自明的基本事实，经过人类长期反复实践的考验，不需要再加证明的基本命题。公理是一切定理的基础。

因果律是公理，是一切科学和哲学的理论基础，没有因果律，所有的科学定理和哲学理论都无法建立。

因果律，表示任何一种现象或者事物都必然有其原因，即“物有本末，事有终始”。也就是说，任何一种结果和现象都是由因缘和合而生。

因果律也可以称为缘起法则，有以下三大特征：

一、果由因生：无因不能生果，有果必有其因。其具有时间序列性，原因必定在先，结果只能在后，二者的时间顺序不能颠倒。

二、事待理成：作为客观现象之间引起与被引起的关系，它是客观存在的，并不以人的意志为转移，在事物中有其普遍的规律性。如生必有死、聚必有散、合必有离、成必有坏，这是必然的法则。

三、有依空立：任何存在的事物，其产生都是建立在不存在的基础上的，都是先无后有的。客观事物之间联系的多样性决定了因果关系的复杂性。

任何事物的存在，都要具备上述三个特征。我们以一棵树为例，树是果，当树的种子有合适的温度、湿度、足够的养料养分，它就会开始发芽，然后，在足够的阳光下，茁壮成长，最后开花结果，这叫"果由因生"； 树的基因决定了树的种性的差异，有它的普遍规律性，苹果的种子长不出梨树来，这叫“事待理成”；这棵树，在未种之前，它是不存在的，在种植之后，才有了树，这叫“有依空立”。
Everything has its’ cause and effect. The framed structure of a human being is just an effect, so what is the cause? We must approach this issue in terms of causality.

We know that all theoretical systems of modern science are based on axioms. The so-called axioms refer to basic propositions that are self-evidently true, those of which have been tested repeatedly by human beings for a long period of time; they do not need to be further proved. Axioms are the basis of all theorems.

The law of causality is an axiom and the theoretical basis of all science and philosophy. Without the law of causality, all scientific theorems and philosophical theories cannot be established.

The law of causality indicates that any phenomenon or event must have its own cause, that is, "there is a proper sequence of beginning and end results". So, any types of result and phenomenon arise from the combination of causes and conditions.

The law of causality, also known as the law of origin, has the following three characteristics:

1. The effect is initiated by the cause: the effect cannot be produced without the cause, and the effect must have its own cause. It has an order, the cause must come first, the result can only come after, and the time sequence of the two cannot be reversed.

2. Determinism: It comes with objectivity, it is not affected by human consciousness, and it has it’s own rule of principles. These principles, for instance, contain the following: where there is life, death is inevitable; where there is a gathering, there will be a dispersal; where there is a conjunction, there will be a separation; where there is success, there will also be destruction. This is the law of inevitability.

3. Existence is based on emptiness: Anything that exists, its production is based on the foundation of non-existence, and it all comes into existence after non-existence. The multiple factors of the objectivity in relationships determine the complexity of causal relationships.

The existence of multiple kinds must have the above three characteristics. Let's take a tree as an example. A tree is an effect. When a seed of a tree has the right temperature, humidity and enough nutrients, it will begin to germinate. When it receives enough sunlight, it will grow vigorously and finally bloom and bear fruit. It is called " The effect is initiated by the cause"; the gene of the tree determines the difference of the species, and there is a common rule of principle in it. A seed of an apple cannot grow into a pear tree, which is called“Determinism”; this tree, before planting, does not exist, and after planting a seed, after some time a tree grows. Thus, Existence is based on emptiness.

如果我们用这三个特征去检验事物的存在，就会发现宇宙间的任何事物都具备这三个基本特征，都离不开缘生缘灭，也就是因缘果生、因缘果灭的法则。

某些哲学家认为人类就像电脑一样，人类的心智和身体的关系就好像电脑的硬件和软件的关系一样，同一款电脑，硬件一样，如果软件不一样，功能就不一样。软件升级了，功能就强大了。

但是，我们要知道，电脑的软件也是被复制到电脑的硬件里去的，那么它的功能和作用是固定不变的。即使软件升级了，需要更新，也是删除了旧的软件，复制新的软件。那么，新的软件的作用和功能还是固定不变的。

然而，人的心智如果是复制于父母的心智，那么人的心智的四商和父母的四商也应该是一样的，或者基本一样。但事实上，人的心智和父母的四商差别非常大，

在第五章我们已经论证了，四商的潜能不是来源于遗传，人类的遗传基因是指DNA上的遗传信息，而人的四商是人的心智，心智的能量形式不是分子和原子级别的，心智的能量级别是生物场能。

既然人的四商的潜能不是从父母的遗传基因上复制过来的，那么，人的四商的潜能就是外来的。

某些哲学家认为电脑硬件如果被损毁了，软件也会一起被损毁。如果人类的身体被损毁了，人的心智也随之而消亡。

其实，硬件是软件的载体，离开了硬件，软件是不可能单独存在的，它必须存在于电脑或者硬盘里。所以，硬件损坏了，硬件里面的软件也必然会被损毁。但是人类的身体并不是心智的载体，人类的身体只是心智的一个工具。

那么，人类四商的出厂设置从何而来呢？从缘起法则的角度来分析，人类的四商的出厂设置必然有其产生的因缘。

这些问题比较复杂，我们以后再讲。 If we apply these three characteristics to test the existence, we will find that everything in the universe has these three basic characteristics, and it is inseparable from the law of causes and conditions, arising and cessation. The law of causation brings about existence and destruction.

Some philosophers compare human beings to computers, in effect they conclude that the relationship between the human mind and body is the same as the relationship between computer hardware and software. A computer with the same hardware, but different software functions differently. With the updated version of software, the function will be greatly improved.

However, we must know that the software of the computer is downloaded onto the hardware, as a result functions are fixed. Even if the upgrade is required, the old software will be deleted and the new software will be copied. Then, the roles and functions of the new software are still predetermined.

By that logic however, if the human mind is copied from the parents’ mind, then the four quotients of the human mind should be the same as the parents’ or fundamentally similar. However, people's minds are distinct from their parents' four quotients.

In Chapter 5, we have demonstrated that the potential of the four quotients does not come from heredity. Human genetic genes refer to the genetic information in DNA, while the four quotients of human beings are the human mind. The energy form of the mind is not at the molecular and atomic level, it exists at the level of biological energy field.

Since the potential of a person's four quotients is not copied from the parents' genetic genes, then the potential of a person's four quotients comes from foreign factors.

Some philosophers believe that if the hardware of a computer were to be destroyed, so would the software. Then it’s safe to conclude that if the human body were to be destroyed, the human mind would also perish.

In fact, hardware is the carrier of software. Without hardware, the software alone cannot exist. It must exist in a computer or hard disk. Therefore, if the hardware is damaged, the software in the hardware will also be damaged. However, the human body is not the carrier of the mind, the human body is only a tool of the mind.

So, where do the framed structures of the four human quotients come from? According to the perspective of the Law of Origin, the framed structures of the four quotients do indeed have their origins in the human psyche.

These issues are more complicated, and we will discuss them later.
