East is East, West is West. Harmony Faith, Order of Universe.

Peace is a static end state in its conception. The universe and life is not static. The universe is ever expanding according to modern physics. Our soul is eternal. There will not be lasting peace when there is no harmony. Harmony is dynamic balance and is not an end state. It is about eternity. It is the constant action and growth.

East and West culture represent two opposites. Just like male and female, electron and positron, Yin and Yang. Harmony is the invisible hand that keeps the opposites in dynamic balance but never equal. When there are no opposites the universe will not grow and there will be no life. Please see following attached "Harmony Faith, Order of Universe" in English and Chinese translation. English is the original.Western culture is more confrontational. But in Yin there is Yang and vice verse. The best representation is the Tai Chi double fish symbol. However, according to Laotze, ultimately the Yin contains the Yang. In the universe, invisible energy contains the Yang (visible matters). This is testified by modern physics.

Yang being more confrontational, aggressive, less patient and tend to use hard power. When this tendency is not in check, it will more likely to wear itself out. For dynamic balance between Yin and Yang within or without, Western culture ultimately must contain more Yin. This is the truth.

Right now Western culture has more system engineering and modern organizational infrastructure. But Eastern culture as Yin, tends to be more patient, use more innate soft power. Confucianism taught the practice of soft power. Laotze advocated the truth that soft overcomes the hard when aggression is over extended. East and West must attempt to reach harmony to avoid self destruction. They will ultimately not merge. Yin and Yang will coexist as unity in diversity. That guarantees life and continuing growth. In the same rational thinking mankind must reach harmony with nature. Mankind is part of nature and will never conquer nature according to Laotze. East and West have a lot to learn from each other. That is what world harmony is all about.

As modernized as Japan and Korea are, their societies are still more Confucian than Christian and Western. China will be more Confucian than Marxism. East and West can approach harmony but will never completely merge. The universe and life is about Yin Yang balance and growth.

HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE
INTRODUCTIONThe 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 inevitable 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.1)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.2)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 religions 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.3)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. 4)The final stage is Harmony Faith, 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 Lao-tzu 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 next creative wave to lead us to a higher level of common accomplishment. World Harmony Renaissance will bring the whole world into action for a new millennium of peace and prosperity with unfettered collective energy surpassing European renaissance.

和谐信仰,宇宙的规律
作者:世界和谐组织总干事 冯忠华博士
说明
众所周知,世界各大宗教盖源于大亚洲地区包括中东和南亚。绝非巧合的是,
凡一神教皆必须信奉同一个上帝、阿拉、造物主、上天或任何其他名字。导致宗教
各异者,文化遗产也。各大宗教除了人为上帝偶像不同,本质上并无区别。因此,
无需制度化人为上帝偶像,亦能区分。不论你属何教派,全人类只能有一个造物
主。届时,所有宗教都必须接受一个没有偶像的造物主,超越所有宗教,融合为单
一信仰。大势所趋乃尔。
当代著名阴阳大师马树海,在其杰出著作【同道】中,把人类宗教的发展过程
归纳为四个渐进阶段,以下描述为笔者融会贯通后之外加诠释。
1. 原始偶像崇拜阶段:此阶段纯粹是盲目的迷信。其时人类对大自然的破坏力
如火、水、风万分敬畏。
2. 崇拜祈求上帝阶段:一神教信仰演进出一个万能造物主的偶像,号称与人类
息息相关并能为人类消灾解难。此类制度化信仰与特定造物主偶像,充斥着
今天大部份宗教。目前,全人类的苦难源于一神教文化对社会力量的分化。
只有佛教教导信徒寻找内心平衡、心中驻佛。中国人接受道为创造宇宙的能
量,与犹大-基督教的传统有别。
3. 科学宗教理性阶段:在人类认识到理性力量的阶段,人类才能科学解释生活
除生命意义以外的方方面面。现代巴哈依信仰的开创,坚持渐进式的启示来
自上帝。巴哈依信仰是一个强调宗教和科学团结的现代宗教。这两个重要概
念预示着不必依赖一神论造物主偶像时代的来临。
4. 最后是宇宙的规律,和谐信仰阶段:这是信仰的决定性最后探讨,对现代社
会发现的来自宇宙的无限隐形暗能量充满信心。这一研究正在起步。要成为
普世信仰,必须从没有造物主人为偶像开始。可称之为相对理性的诱导阶
段。

和谐信仰,宇宙的规律
在以下短论中,我们将解释何以自然法信仰可以一劳永逸地调和科学与宗教。
此外,我们将给生命一个有意义的实现目标。在此阶段,大门为人类进步之灵感敞
开,这种灵感源于无所不在的道,道乃创造宇宙万物的无形暗能。居于现代科学概
念,造物主人为偶像实无必要。
和谐为普世价值,人类之福,生灵崇拜。和谐是自然的规律,宇宙的定律。和
谐以动态平衡为自然消灾解难,恢复安宁。没有和谐,宇宙不会永恒。和谐超越一
切文化和宗教,是人类真正的信仰。
生命的意义在于自我和谐。人类天生一种精神,自我求生、自我完善。我们的
灵魂有个从动物的自私天性升华而来的良心。只有实现自我和谐,灵魂成长方为成
熟。人由自己的灵魂相伴和协调,祥和地走完人生旅程。死后灵魂或痛苦或和谐,
差别如地狱或天堂。
无形能量创造了宇宙万物,是所有宗教和信仰可接受的造物主。灵魂是人类与
生俱来一种能量场。因被植入不同的DNA 而优势各异,故人类生而未能平等,正
如人的心灵肯定不会有同等发展的待遇。静态平等并非人生的全部。每个灵魂实现
自身和谐,生命才有意义。
任何宗教,信徒与非信徒之间仅一线之隔。真正的缔造者接受众生,众生见证
了和谐。和谐拯救人类,是多元统一之金。宇宙和众生皆由无形能量创造并持续进
化。这一理论与传统宗教信仰缔造者的人造天堂形象并不矛盾,而是以一种理性方
式同意现代科学。灵魂不过是一个能源场,附着人的精神及有生之年形成的信念和
发展经验,有始无终,死后永存。灵魂能否完成自身和谐,端视修炼,无法划一。
一切中医药、气功、太极、瑜珈、祷告和忏悔等思考和行为模式,均强调通过和谐
达到内心的平静。这些行为与所有宗教和信仰殊途同归。在地球上自我开发尚未成
熟的灵魂是生命的目的,深具意义。心灵和谐,即为自救。
宗教始于找寻真、善、美,最终有助死后达成和谐。凡宗教概宣扬和谐,因和
谐为普世价值、是人类最大的共识。宗教冲突盖因人的腐败,背离真相。信仰和谐
真理,并不需要造物主的人为偶像。无形能量作为宇宙的缔造者,与现代科学并不
冲突。无形能源造物主形象与任何宗教信仰也不矛盾。没有造物主偶像的信仰,将
调和所有的宗教与真正的科学信仰。根据现代科学理论,宇宙无形能量无比强大,
无所不在。这是和谐信仰的重要范式。许多宗教以人类的兄弟情谊为信仰。和谐保
持不同宗教之多元统一文化, 协调来自不同宗教的文化。
老子和孔子所创立的古代和谐文化哲学,并不依赖缔造者的人造偶像。作为一
个古老的文化,中国没有独特地为自己创立一个汉家宗教,现代中国人更多接受境
外宗教。有目共睹的是,中国尽管进口了许多境外宗教,却鲜有重大宗教战争。二
千多年的和谐哲学,改造了中国的主体信仰和外来宗教,使其适合中国的文化遗
产。中国古代的和谐理念,适合人们自我心灵调适之需。中国的各种信仰体系通过
和谐协调的过程,可以成为未来世界和谐的模式。
任何人都可通过修炼和谐达到心灵的安宁,而不需经由制度化宗教仪式。以无
形能量造物主为普遍信仰,调解所有宗教和信仰。因此,和谐信仰超越人类因恐惧
和贪婪而导致的冲突,是最被众生接受的信仰。一个人能成功达到自我和谐,其心
灵是完整的,其灵魂是永恒的,永无痛苦。
对于地球上任何宗教或信条而言,和谐信仰是人类希望的天堂。和谐信仰作
为自然规律,并不需崇拜缔造者的偶像。全人类不论是否属于有组织的宗教,只要
通过和谐的自我反省,都能找到自救希望和兄弟情谊。
和谐复兴的追求包罗万象,视角包括东西方文化、世界文明、历史、外交、宗
教、古代哲学与现代科学等。以科学监测和谐,使之成为真正的普世信仰。
我们相信自律式自然法和谐信仰。和谐复兴行动包括所有人类活动如世界事
务、商务、教育、宗教或不具宗教功能的文化活动。历史到了此刻,我们的行动应
加强和平、减少冲突、协调世界宗教、激活和谐文化、追求和谐教育。联合国正处
在一个交叉路口。现在是向联合国倡导和谐文明的时候,让所有193 个国家都可
畅所欲言,共商世界大同的共同价值。廿一世纪是和谐复兴的开启。世界的共同使
命,是准备好人类第二个创新波的到来,带领我们进入下一个更高层次的共同修
养。世界和谐将带领整个世界进入和平繁荣新千年的行动,不受约束的集体新能
量,超过欧洲文艺复兴。
