我們都知道一個人的成長是螺旋形的方式，從一個人的成長時期就將螺旋形給定型了。其中的一個重要意義就是在有限的課題之中逐漸成長﹝這是一般人所能夠學習的人生課題不多的關係﹞。
但是，對於追尋無上的道德的人來說，超越了自小教育的限制之後，修身養性的方向就在於為全人類奠定永恆幸福的基礎；也，或是一位修行的人在追求自身進化之時，同時也關心著全人類的幸福，也就可能會進入雙層的進步過程。
易經本來是周文王用來治理天下、傳承道業所運用的哲理，但是，也可以用來做為修身養性的參考。此文就易經的一個重要面向做一個討論。
在每一個卦象之始都會先說明四個面向的數個發展；這四個面向就是 " 元、亨、利、貞 "。底下就這四個面向做簡單的討論。
元：從徵兆以至於立基、成長、完成都是 " 元 " 的範圍。主要的目的是在長養萬物。當有新的發生事物的時候，一個人的行為重心、生活重心要隨之改變。
亨：和其他人、其他人群、其他社區、其他城鄉、其他國家等有好的來往；也有可能會讓自己更為富有﹝雖然手頭不充裕，但是有更為富足的感受 --- 來自於更多、更專的才能、更好的人際關係等﹞；更能夠享人間福氣，甚至到達宴樂的程度。
利：直接得到的金錢利益、相當於利息或餘利的利益、祿﹝像是俸給﹑官俸一般可以不斷擁有的饒益；有的來自於天賜。﹞；心情、心境的適宜；任何感到對自己有益的事情；感到更好的生活資源；甚至到富饒的境地；
貞：堅持道德、以及所領悟的更深入的道德、真理；有輕鬆的時候，也有苦貞；經過這樣的學習，會讓自己更接近內在，心境也更為穩定、心境更為明白；所領悟的真理更為精誠。
在不同的時期的開端，例如一個星期的開始、一個季節的開始、一年的開始；或是一個節氣的開始、陰曆初一或十五等等都會遇到這四樣功課之中的某幾項。如果把握得好了，平均來說，修養會越來越輕鬆、適意，生活越來越自在。

經濟、社會惡化及驅吉避凶
這就是共業：有相同、類似的思想的人會遭受相同、類似的命運。日本的經濟衰退，經過十年才重新看到希望，但是也不是這麼盡如人意；我們也屬於東方民族，也極可能經歷十年的衰退，﹝這也是在20世紀末過於追求財富所致﹞目前才2007年初，還有四年左右的衰退期；未來的日子能不慎乎？
還好，從易經的哲理看來，做為一位修行者可以趨吉避凶。其中，天象有長養萬物之時，也有沖煞之時。在前者發生時，對於追尋道德的人來說，生活會非常快活；但是，後者發生之時，對於不了解驅吉避凶的人來說，即使追尋道德也不見得好過。
這是因為我們不知道我們的天命所致。所以，當從事喜歡的靈性體系之修為時，不見得會讓自己有快樂的成長；此時，可以接觸其他的靈性體系，來調整自己的修行方向、比重。越接近天命時、對人類有更大的貢獻或可能性時，修養更能進步、心理更為安適。
為什麼會變動呢？因為世界是變動的、所接觸的人事物是變動的，所以生活的重心會隨之改變。
小我的真理觀 my Opions About Truth
What is Truth ? Is there any absolute truth ?
my operation definition is : what is useful to help people to lift up their soul level is Truth . So , everythings around this Earth and beyond are all truths according to the methods of using them . Because , simillar to Chinese Medicine Sci , some methods are very easy to see it's good , but sometimes , we want to use so called poisons to cure peoples' ill ( this method is called "use poison to attack another poison" ).
According to my experience along my path to find upmost truth , the a of 2nd q is : no absolute truth , just because we can't ( too）attached to some good ideas or thoughts . This is so called 80/20 principle . Such principle is effective under my observations about edu and sci phenomena , and my path along leading me to higher level .
At last , accordong to Saints in the past ages -- like Buddha , Confucius , LzoTze , Jesus --- and in the recent age --- like L. Ron Hubberd ( the leader of Scitology ) . one's most important and the last goal is to find the Eternity , so do i .

The Meanings of Disasters
In our Earth, there are many spirit levels that somebody belong to. People with higher level live with others together for helping all of the people and themselves.
Till now, low level people have not regreted enough, still very bad! Heaven is very angry with them. But It also hope that they will become better. So the disasters happen. But it is not the end of Earth, it is an end of an era and a begining of another.
Hope that low level people become better! Hope better people be calm and find their way to live for this life and next and forever!

There Are No Exactly Correct of Translations of Old Spiritual Words
Because everyone has his/her definitions of words . And as time changes , the enviroment changes , or he/she grows up in spirits , he/she know the truth(s) deeper . LaoTze said : Often none , to meditate the subtle of dao ; Often being to meditate the usage(s) of dao . So , there are no finally translations of Inside !
So , how can we do as facing so much translations and new words ? It's very simple : take them as your references .

道德與鉤心鬥角 Moral and Strain Wits
我們都知道實行道德是很重要的事情，但是，往往面對複雜的社會，又免不了要和人鉤心鬥角，那麼，怎麼平衡自己的心境呢？
還好，老子有說：不得已可以用兵。如果找了好幾次工作，在工作場所之中免不了要和人鉤心鬥角，那麼就做吧，但是，還是要盡量避免，這樣才可以積福德，提 升自己的靈性能量；而不是認同一定要鉤心鬥角，否則就落入人云亦云的陷阱了，同時，一輩子免不了生活在地獄式的生活當中。
這種積福德的方法很重要，我們很可能會常吃虧，但是，不要緊，因為上天疼好人！當業力消除之後，上天會帶領你/妳到更好的環境，有更好的生活。
如果你/妳一直抱著這樣的生活方式，最後會達到一個境地：輕鬆地實行道德而不被人攻擊！那就是生活在天堂了！
We all know that it's very much important to practice moral , to live in a moral life . But , as facing so complicate society , we are avoidable to strain wits of one another . Then how can we balance our heart ?
Fortunately , LaoTze had said : It's OK that to fight when unavoidable . If you change jobs , always face such bad conditions , then do it . But , remember , not to do so as possible . So , you can save your benefit and happiness in Heaven , and lift your spiritual energy . It's important that you can't recoganize it's OK to strain wits . Otherwise you throw youself down the trap(s) of conform conditions --- and in your whole life , you live in a hell !
Such method of saving benefit and happiness in Heaven is important . We , in ordinary life , would often be at disadvantages . But , it's OK . Bucause Heaven love good people ! When karma be finished , Heaven will lead you to a better enviroment and let you live a better life .
If you always remembers this , you will go to a realm : practice moral easily and no one will attack you ! That is your Heaven !

Must Develop one's independant judgement 要發展自我的獨立判斷力
Because people live in a very dark space filled with much deep fear , not only do they live in a very hard life , but also they can't face their inner truth bravely ! Just because if as practice them , they will face merciless attack or ruthless criticize back . But MUST BE BRAVE ! And develop the abilities to treat such dark people or group(s) , till they can't do a little bit hurt to you . Even more , as time goes , let they respect you . At this time , you live in a very easy life !Think about this : if you don't develop your own independant truth(s) , you might only go to low level spiritrual realm with great fear till you close your eye for the last time .
It's more important than ordinary people for spiritural seekers who should do so ! They can't only copy their teacher's(s') words and truth(s) . You should test them by yourself carefully , for getting your own truth(s) . Chinese old wisdom has a good sentence : " I love my teacher , but truth(s) more !" That is it . More , only through independant judgement , you can learn wisdom on the ground , just then the wisdom belongs to you !
At last , " Let others stand as you stand , let others learn as you have learned !", practicing gradually up and help the world and universe , till forever !
因為社會過於恐懼、黑暗，不僅讓人很難過活，也讓人們不能勇於面對自己內心的真理，因為，深怕實行出來之時，會遭致無情的反擊、攻擊。但是，還是要勇敢，並且，發展應對黑暗人物的能力，使他/她們無法傷害你/妳，甚至，隨著時間的過程，使他們尊敬你/妳。這個時候，你/妳也就處在非常自在的生活當中了。
想想看，如果你/妳不發展自我獨立的真理，到了最後闔上眼睛的時候，你/妳有可能恐懼地往生、並且升到很糟糕的境界之中。
修行者更是這樣，不能抄襲靈性導師的語言、真理，你/妳必須去驗證，而得到自己的真理。中華文化說得好：吾愛吾師，吾更愛真理。就是這個意思。而，唯有獨立的判斷能力，才能讓自己的修養紮實、才是你/妳真正的學問！
然後，〝己立而立人，己達而達人〞，逐漸地修行向上，並且幫助世界﹝甚至宇宙﹞，直到永遠！
不同的靈修者有不同的風格 Different Spiritual Seeker Has Different Style
論語 [11.13]
閔子 1 侍側，誾誾 2 如也 3；子路，行行 4 如也；冉有、子貢，侃侃 5 如也。子樂。「若由也，不得其死然。」
【注釋】1. 閔子 閔子騫。 2. 誾誾 一ㄣˊ，溫和而有條理。 3. 如也 像這個樣子，卻也都合宜。 4. 行行 ㄏㄤˊ，武勇剛健的樣子。 5. 侃侃 有器度、很瀟灑。
【語譯】閔子騫在做 孔子的侍從之時，溫和而有條理；子路，武勇而剛健；冉有、子貢，很有器度、很瀟灑。 孔子對於他們做侍的方式從都感到很滿意而快樂。但是， 孔子說：「如果像子路一樣，不得好死。」
【筆記】從各人行事風格不同來看，我們可以明白地了解：不同的人修身養性，有不同的風格；而不是很多人心中所想像的溫柔敦厚的樣子。
The Analects [11.13]
The disciple MinTze serves for Teacher , looking bland and orderly . TzeLu bold and soldierly . ZhznYuooh and TzeGong be uncommon personality and elegant . They all feel ease . Teacher feel content and happy for all !
【note】 Different disciple has different behaviour(s) . So , as we practice spirituality , different person will develop different style like different flower(s) .
