Science and Pure Insight

The cosmos is itself a huge and complex entity of living energy clusters. Not only do the ancient and modern philosophers and scientists want to understand its mysteries, higher-level beings are also amazed by the complexity of the cosmos. Although the existing scientific apparatus cannot yet prove the first sentence of this article, modern quantum physics can provide us with some preliminary supporting evidence. For example, Zhuan Falun mentions the theory of three thousand worlds in a grain of sand, and how a grain of sand in one of those worlds would also have three thousand worlds. While an everyday person might find this hard to believe, modern science using nanotechnology is confirming this theory. Scientists are currently trying to use nanotechnology to imprint information a few times the size of the British Library onto a single atom, or to store a person’s information onto a small computer chip. People are amazed by this and impressed by how fast science is advancing every day. In reality, this isn’t something impossible to reach at all. As long as your ability to observe microscopic matter reaches a certain level, you can travel to the macroscopic world and the microscopic world at will, assuming that your moral standard can keep pace.

The human body is the container of the heart. In ancient China people considered the human body a container that communicates with the universe. In chapter seven of Zhuan Falun, under the section “Hospital Treatment and Qigong Treatment,” it says, “Ancient Chinese science is different from our present science that we have learned from the West, as it took another path that could bring about a different state. Therefore, we cannot understand ancient Chinese science and technology through our current way of understanding things. Because ancient Chinese science focused directly on the human body, life, and the universe, and it studied these subjects directly, it took a different approach.” Ancient Chinese science was extremely advanced, especially before the Qin Dynasty. People from that time period talked about how the human body regenerates and heals and is in balance with the natural world. The achievements of ancient people on issues such as the usage of various materials, making of medicine, and designing and regulating fine apparatus exceed the level of modern societies. However, today people do not know about these historical facts. A few years ago, an engineer tried to recreate the “floating horses” (a robotic device used in military campaigns) that Zhuge Liang created during the Three Kingdoms era roughly 1700 years ago. It turned out to be an extremely complicated and fine piece of machinery. Back then I thought ancient people were extremely wise. What’s more, from the materials dug up in the Emperor Qin’s (the first emperor who united China) tomb, the swords found could still slice open a fish. We can see how good the materials used are and how sharp the sword still is. In addition, the building process of the magnificent stone guards of Emperor Qin’s tomb is still an unsolved mystery to people today. It has been discovered that there were a lot of mercury around the Emperor Qin’s tomb. From the book Record of History (Shiji), it was said that the tomb once floated on a river of mercury. Today’s technology can not manage to accomplish this. According to The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Alchemy, the ancient people lived a hundred years before they passed away. Today’s people lose their hair and teeth before they reach 60. Why is there such a big difference? The ancient people lived their daily life in accordance with the patterns of the universe. They even fit their dress and diet to the season. Drinking wine demanded particular attention to staying in accordance with the seasons.

The Chinese people, ever since the ancient times, loved to study Yin and Yang, the five elements, five colors, the correspondence of the five elements with the five organs in our body, and the like. Since everything in the universe cannot be separated from the five elements, the five organs must also correspond to the universe. When someone became sick, people often referred to the element, color and the law of mutual-generation and mutual-inhibition so that they could prescribe medicines accordingly. Not only that, but through their meditations the ancients discovered the energy channels of the body that exist in other dimensions. They also discovered how to use acupuncture to make one’s body energy flow more smoothly and how to use acupuncture to heal illnesses. Some were even able to discover the existence of their bodies in a more microscopic dimension. Bian Que was the first one to operate on a human heart. Hua Tuo’s anesthesia and his Book of Qingnang were not passed down. It’s regretable that today’s Chinese medicine is only left with fragments of its original essences.

It’s Falun Dafa that has once again revealed the mysteries of the human body. We should treasure this opportunity. Modern science has an extremely narrow range for advancement. I can say this because I am a scientist myself. Scientists cannot assume the role of the Creator like those in the movie “Jurassic Park”. If we look at it from a historic point of view, the development of science was pre-arranged. During the Industrial Revolution, calculus was invented. Later it was applied to aerodynamics and airplanes became practical. Because of military applications, more profound things like quantum physics were discovered and atomic bombs were developed. In the last 200 years of history, one can trace the pattern of the development of science. Man has also attempted to make today’s computers surpass the human brain with binary processing. The computer “Deep Blue” recently was able to beat the world chess champion for the first time with extremely fast calculations. However, one can easily see the structures of the calculations of 0 and 1 (binary) from the ancient Chinese text I-Ching (Book of Change). Leibniz, who discovered Calculus simultaneously with Newton, later realized that Calculus is only a part of the I-Ching’s calculations.
