Where is and how do we Revere the Greatest
Creator?
Xuefeng
(Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)
The Greatest Creator is the most mysterious, most holy, most
incredible, and most supreme supernatural entity in existence. But where
is the Greatest Creator?
The universe is big beyond our imagination. Our earth universe
alone contains three thousand (3,000) great worlds, each of which
contains three thousand (3,000) medium worlds, each of those contain
three thousand (3,000) small worlds, and this earth universe is just a
speck of dust in a much greater universe.
Seek Truth from Facts, and Tell Truth
This universe has 20-parallel worlds within 36-dimensional space.
Where does the Greatest Creator reside in such a vast universe?
The matter of the Greatest Creator is in the zero world of the
36-dimensional space. And the zero world is the node - the zero point
that consists of the 20-parallel worlds, namely the zero point of the
geometric XYZ number axis. This zero point connects with the
20-parallel worlds and is the command centre of the universe as our
brains and central nervous systems are to our bodies.
Everything in the universe is a manifestation of the consciousness of
the Greatest Creator, which is Tao. It is like everything created on the
earth is a manifestation of human consciousness except for the natural
material. The constitutional law is the embodiment of the collective
consciousness of all people. It can be said that human consciousness is
the constitutional law.
Tao is the spirit of the Greatest Creator and all things run in Tao and
are ultimately dominated by it. Therefore, all things are of the spirit of
the Greatest Creator. That is, “all things have spirit”.
Thus, we conclude that the matter of the Greatest Creator is in the
zero world but the spirit of the Greatest Creator is in all things, just as
Chinese President Hu Jintao’s body is in Zhongnanhai in Beijing, but his
reach extends throughout China.
Chanyuan Corpus
Since the matter of the Greatest Creator is in the zero world, then
we can never see the true face of the Greatest Creator, because we can
never reach the zero world. Since we can never see the true face of the
Greatest Creator, then how can we feel the presence of and know the will
of the Greatest Creator?
We can know and understand it by the things we hear, see, taste,
smell, touch, feel, and experience around us. Since the spirit of the
Greatest Creator is in all things throughout the universe, then all things
contain the will of the Greatest Creator. We can know and experience the
Greatest Creator and learn the will of the Greatest Creator through all
things in the universe.
This means that all things are the discourse of the Greatest Creator
and all the changes we sense are the monologue of the Greatest Creator
within us. From things changing, we can know what the Greatest Creator
wants us to do and how we must do it. For instance, a healthy person
with a headache is not a normal situation. They are either overstressed
by thinking, have high blood pressure or fever, or something similar. The
headache would clearly indicate a need to change their daily diet and
lifestyle or a normal physiological order would not be maintained.
Another example is that when phenomena such as droughts, floods,
plagues, earthquakes, and extreme temperatures become frequent
occurrences, something is clearly wrong with our production and
Seek Truth from Facts, and Tell Truth
lifestyle. The Greatest Creator clearly informs us that we need to change
our lifestyle or face even greater disasters and catastrophes. It is as if a
country or region experiences frequent riots and hunger. That would
indicate a problem with the management of the area and that the
management mode needs to be changed or it will lead to vicious cycles
until the regime is overthrown. It is the same with a family. Frequent
quarrels would show that something is wrong with the survival order of
the family and it is time to dissolve it. Were this phenomenon to occur
in most families around the globe, something would be wrong with the
survival mode and lifestyle of the family system and it would need to be
broken up or people’s pains and troubles would never end and would
lead to self-destruction.
The Greatest Creator is everywhere. I see the Greatest Creator
everywhere and all the time from the changing weather, the blooming
flowers, the mature fruits, the moving of bees’ nests, the bellies of
pregnant women, the wedding nights, the gurgling water, and the
texture of shells from my own eyes, witnessing the transformations
through time. As long as we open our spiritual perception, we can see
the Greatest Creator everywhere and at anytime.
This leads to an appalling question, how can we revere the Greatest
Creator? Reverence of the Greatest Creator is not a concept that can be
Chanyuan Corpus
taken as a pet phrase. We need to revere the Greatest Creator in our
daily words and deeds in a concrete manner.
Revering all things is to revere the Greatest Creator! When I am
faced with a stem of grass, an insect, a thing, or a person, I can see the
Greatest Creator looking right back at me through it or him or her. If I
react correctly, I will go to heaven, but if I react incorrectly, I will go to
hell.
From this, I find a law. If a person shows their sincere, kind, beautiful,
loving, faithful, and honest consciousness to all things, they will develop
to betterment and go to heaven, if not, they will have ugliness and go to
hell.
Readers can decide whether my conclusion above is true or not, but
I do not believe that you will come up with any other conclusion.
