HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

INTRODUCTION

The major religions of the world as we know today all
originated in Greater Asia which includes the Middle East and
South Asia. This is no coincidence, as all monotheistic religions
believe in the same God, Allah, Creator, Heaven or what other
names we use. What makes religions different is cultural
heritage. Each major religion’s man made image of God is thus
inherently different. This fixation on the difference of each
culture’s institutionalized and man made image of God is
unnecessary and divisive. There can only be one creator for all
mankind regardless of what name is used or what religion one
believes in. Thus in time, all religions must converge into one
faith by transcending each religion’s cultural fixations and
universally accepting one creator without a man made image.
This is the evitable progressive development.

The eminent contemporary Ying Yang master Ma Shuhai, in his
book “Tong Dao”, classified the continuous development of
human religions into four progressive stages. The following
description bears significant additional explanation by the
present author.

The stage of primitive idols worship: This was the pure
irrational superstition stage. When man was very much in awe
of subject to nature’s destructive powers such as fire water and
wind.

The stage of trust in one communicative God: Monotheistic
faiths that evolve around one all mighty and powerful creators
that man could develop a relation with and turn to for help.
These types of institutionalized faiths with a specific creator
with man- made image include most of the major religion s of
today. Today mankind as a whole is suffering from the divisive
forces of this culturally specific monotheism. The exception
being Buddhism, which teaches believers to find inner peace
and Buddha within oneself without the monotheistic creator.
Chinese accept Dao as the force of universe creation which is
distinct from the Judah-Christian tradition.

The rational stage of scientific religion: When man believes in
his rational power. In this stage man can turn to science to
explain all aspects of life except the meaning of life. This
ushered in the modern Bahai Faith, which upholds progressive
revelation from God. Bahai faith as a modern religion also
emphasizes unity of religion and science. These two important
concepts possibly herald in the era of less dependency on one
Monotheistic creator in a man- made image.

The final stage is Harmony Faith, the Order of the Universe :
This is the life study of a final and decisive faith that has
confidence in the modern discovery of the all prevalent and
infinite invisible dark energy of the universe. We are currently
at the very beginning of this life study. To become a universal
faith it must do without a man-made creator image. We can
also call this the relative rational inductive stage.

HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

In the following concise dissertation we will explain how this
natural faith can reconcile science and religion once and for all.
On top of that we will give the meaning of life a very achievable
goal. In this stage the door is also open for continuing human
progressive inspiration from the omnipresent and all prevalent
Dao, the invisible dark energy that created the universe.
Together with modern science this concept makes a creator
with man made image unnecessary.

Harmony is a universal common value; it is also a vision
statement for all. It is the order of nature and the universe for
all to emulate. Harmony is the dynamic balance that returns
nature’s calamities to tranquility. Without harmony the
universe cannot be eternal. In harmony we can find true belief
that transcends all cultures and religions.

The meaning of life is to seek harmony within our inner self.
Humans are born with a spiritual soul that develops to seek self
fulfillment and self salvation. Our soul has a conscience that
elevates us from total animal selfishness. As our soul grows to
its maturity we must achieve our own harmony. A person at the
end of his journey reconciles with his own soul to achieve
harmony and peace of mind. The difference between a
tormented soul and a soul in harmony at our death is the
difference between hell and heaven.

The invisible energy in the firmament created the universe and
all creatures. This is our creator regardless of our religion and
belief. Our soul is an energy field that grows with our
accomplishments on earth. With differing strengths embedded
in our DNA Humans are not created equal just as sure our souls
will not develop equally. Static equality is not what life is all
about. Each soul attaining its own harmony with itself is the
meaning of life. The achievement of harmony by nature and us
is a dynamic process. The evolution of nature and life are
dynamic processes and must not be considered as static
phenomena. Harmony renaissance is a dynamic process and
calls for proactive action.

There is a fine line between a believer and non believer of any
religion. A true creator will accept all because all humans attest
to harmony. Cultural differences are only in form and not in
essence. Harmony is the salvation of mankind and the king of
unity in diversity. The universe and all living creations through
evolution are created by the invisible energy and are sustained
by energy. This theory without man made heavenly images
does not contradict conventional religious beliefs. Furthermore
it is a rational way of agreeing with modern sciences. Our soul
is merely an energy field that contains our spirit, life time
beliefs and experiences. It exists eternally and has a beginning
and no end after our death. Each soul can accomplish harmony
with itself but souls are not necessarily equal. We are here on
earth to develop our own soul from its early immature
conception.

Religions begin with search of truth, goodness and beauty. This
search will ultimately help us to reach harmony at death. All
religions preach harmony because harmony is the most
common value and the greatest common denominator of
mankind. Conflicts in religion are caused by human corruption.
Belief in harmony, the universal truth, does not need a man
made image of creator. The invisible energy as the creator of
the universe does not contradict with modern science. This
imaging of the creator does not contradict any religious beliefs
and is not divisive.

In time this imaging of the creator without
man made figure will reconcile all religions as the true
scientific belief. According to modern science the invisible
energy of the universe is all powerful and omnipresent. It is
part of the paradigm of Faith in Harmony. Many religions
believe in brotherhood of mankind. What has kept us from
achieving unity in diversity are the differences in religious
culture and the cultural centric creator figures conjured by
different religions.

The ancient harmony cultural philosophy promulgated by Laotzu
and Confucius did not rely on man made images of creators.
As an ancient culture China did not create a religion of its own.
Modern Chinese are more accepting of outside religions. This is
witnessed by the lack of major religious wars in China despite
the importation of many outside religions. Over two thousand
years harmony philosophy modified Chinese major beliefs and
outside religions to suit China’s cultural heritage. China’s
ancient harmony philosophy fulfills her people’s need for self
fulfillment and spiritual tranquility. This harmonizing process of
various belief systems can be a model for the future world
harmony.

A person who does not practice institutionalized religion can
achieve inner peace through harmony practices. The universal
belief in the invisible energy as the creator in the firmament
reconciles all religions and faiths. Faith in Harmony is thus the
most acceptable Faith that transcends mankind’s conflicts of
fear and greed. Harmony on earth that promises unity in
diversity is the promise of Kingdom on Earth and the Most
Great Peace on earth by all sages and prophets. A person
achieves self fulfillment has reached harmony in his own soul
and his life is complete and his soul is eternal and everlasting
without torment.

We believe in harmony renaissance which is the pursuit of
harmony as a way of life and a living faith. Harmony is a
universal common value and renaissance is action. Harmony
propagates by resonance, nature's preferred way of
propagation. Faith in harmony gives hope of heaven on earth
for all, regardless of any religion or creed. Faith in harmony as
order of nature does not worship man made image of creators.
For all mankind whether belonging to organized religion or not
we can seek hope and brotherhood through soul searching
harmony.

Our search for harmony renaissance is multifaceted and all
inclusive. Our perspectives include East and West culture,
world civilization and history, harmony diplomacy, world
religions, ancient philosophy and modern science. For harmony
to be a true universal faith it must reconcile with scientific
observations.

We believe in self salvation through Faith in Harmony
practices. Our actions shall encompass all human activities
such as world affairs, commerce, education, cultural activities
and religious or non religious functions. Specifically at this
moment in history our action should enhance peace, reduce
conflict, harmonize world religions, and activate harmony
culture, pursuit harmony education. United Nation is at a cross
road. It is time to advocate U. N. harmony civilization so all 193
nations can converse and consult with universal Harmony
common value. 21st century is the beginning of Harmony
renaissance.

The world mission is to be ready for human's
second creative wave to lead us to the next higher level of
common accomplishment. World Harmony will bring the whole
world into action for a new millennium of peace and prosperity
with unfettered collective energy surpassing European
renaissance.
