One day while practicing, I saw a world where there are only digits, mathematical symbols, and mathematical elements, which were all alive. In the world I was looking at, the mathematical digit is a kind of life. It was a world of digits. The mathematics that scientists are currently use and research is originally from this world.
Modern sciences are based on mathematics, and scientists use mathematics to describe a natural phenomenon or to explain a problem. Many scientists think they can use mathematical formulas to explain why the universe was formed.
As matter of fact, this sort of thinking is wrong. The universe is unbelievably huge but the world of mathematics exists only within a certain scope, which is just one of countless other worlds. Anything beyond its scope will be independent of mathematics, and is thus not constructed by mathematical principles.
Scientists think that the field of mathematics is limitlessly broad, which is an incorrect assumption; since the world of mathematics has boundaries.
Why can scientists use mathematics to explain some non-mathematical phenomena? My thought is that every object of the universe can display a shadow in other worlds. Then by using mathematics, an exterior method can certainly be used to explain things in other worlds. In the same way, a mirror can reflect the appearance of an object, but is not the real object itself.
Every kind of natural principle that today’s scientists describe is in fact the shadow of a principle reflecting the world of mathematics. What the scientists think they are enlightening to is just the discovery of these shadows and recording them. Non-cultivators think that these formulas come from their own thinking, yet they do not! “Thinking” is just a human capability.
