The Tower of Babel is not an apocryphal thing, and its ruins still remain in the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Around 460 B.C., the ancient Greek historian Herodotus visited the city of Babylon and saw the ruins of the Tower of Babel, and he was still amazed and wrote with admiration:

"It has a solid main tower, one furlong (220 yards) square, with a total of eight floors. There is a spiral passage around the outer edge of the tower that goes up to the top of the tower, and there are seats for resting about halfway through. ”

Soon after, the kingdom of Babylon was destroyed by Persia, especially after the Persian king Xerxes suppressed the rebellion of the local people, and even abandoned the monument, and even allowed the local residents to remove bricks from it and use it to build houses.

The Persians were then defeated by a Greek army led by Alexander of Macedon. In 331 BC, Alexander the Great arrived in Babylon as a conqueror, and he had plans to rebuild the tower. But Strebo, a Greek geographer who accompanied the army, reported that it would take 10,000 men two months to work just to clean up the rubble ground. Faced with such a huge amount of work, Alexander the Great had to give up his idea.

For more than 1,000 years, wars and turmoil in the Middle East have caused the destruction of many relics of ancient civilizations. So much so that when people wanted to re-examine the "Tower of Babel" after the rise of modern science in the West, this great ancient building was only a pile of broken bricks and broken walls, which was miserable. Only the huge square foundation, although overgrown with weeds, can still see the outline of the place, which makes one can imagine a little bit of the majesty of its appearance.

The earliest mention of the word "Babel" appears in the Bible, which means "chaos" in Hebrew and "gate of God" in Babylonian.

The Babylonians built this giant tower not only for the purpose of "fame", so later generations also have various speculations about the role of the tower. Some believe that the "Tower of Babel" was an astronomical observatory of the ancient Babylonians. According to Strepo, the tower is believed to be the symbolic tomb of Marduk, the god of ancient Babylon. It is also believed that it was the tomb of ancient emperors, like the pyramids of Egypt, in which tombs and secret chambers may have been hidden. It is also believed that it is not a tomb for the gods, but a place for the gods to descend to earth, or a place for man to communicate with God, or even a place for man to obtain the secrets of God.

The Qur'an has a similar last speculation, where it is recorded that Pharaoh asked man to build a mud tower so that he could climb to heaven to meet the Lord of Moses, but the tower did not have a name.

Because of his personal experience in the pyramid cultivation base, Zhu Yan also felt that the greatest possible use of this "Babi Tower" was communication, including communication with the vitality of heaven and earth, communication with all things in the universe, and communication with the gods.

In terms of appearance, there is no essential difference between the Babi Tower and the pyramid, both are tower-shaped structures made of earth and stone. What's more, the angle between them and the ground is about 40 or 50 degrees, which is thought to help the convergence of information energy. Therefore, like the pyramids, the Babita Tower may be a kind of cultivation tool built by the ancients in order to strengthen the absorption of information energy.

Why, then, should God be afraid of this?

This seems to imply that cultivation may allow humans to evolve and even grow into beings equal to God. Once the human race builds the Barbita, it is likely that the human race will evolve rapidly in a short period of time, so that God will not be able to control it, so of course he will stop the human race from building the Barbita.

It's no secret that God doesn't want humans to cultivate or evolve. The biblical description of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden expresses God's thoughts. He wanted humanity to become docile and pious lambs, who did not need to think, did not need to evolve, but simply believed in God with all their hearts and souls after death.

In the thousands of years of Christian history, it has never advocated the active cultivation of clergy, and even if there were, it was only passive cultivation such as fasting, prayer, and Bible reading, and human beings were not allowed to snoop into God's secrets.

Zhu Yan didn't understand before, why didn't God destroy the larger pyramid when God prevented the construction of the "Babita"? And why didn't human beings use the pyramid to cultivate into another group of gods?

Now he kind of understands that it may have something to do with God confusing the "language" of humanity. This language is not an ordinary language, but it is the channel through which early human beings directly communicate with the universe -- some kind of supernatural power similar to "other heart communication".

Human beings may really be the product of God's creation, the product of God's use of genetic technology to knead the life of the earth, so God can easily manipulate human genes, and then close the channel of direct communication between human beings and the universe.

It is worth mentioning that in the legends of the prehistoric civilization Atlantis, there are descriptions of such communication. At that time, Atlantis could directly know what the other party wanted to say without the need for special language and writing, and could even communicate with the mind from a long distance. There is no language barrier between humans and animals, just like intimate companions. Sick people do not need to be treated with medicines, they only need to receive useful information from the environment through crystals, and they can be cured. Human beings with a high degree of mental development can even understand the past and predict the future.

After the shortcut to communication with the universe was sealed, the speed of human cultivation plummeted, and even the construction of the Tower of Babel would not help, and the channel of communication between people was blocked, so the construction of the Babi Tower could not be stranded.

And now, through the experience just now, Zhu Yan was keenly aware that the sealed communication channel in his body had loosened, making him initially have a supernatural power similar to "his heart channel". This made him more aware that human cultivation was indeed a way to unlock the genetic seal, and the dedication of a large amount of people's mental energy was the only way to quickly break through the seal.

Come to think of it, almost all practitioners emphasize the need to do good deeds and accumulate good karma, not only for the well-being of future lives, but more importantly, for the needs of cultivation in this life. In the past, the Buddha founded Buddhism, Muhammad founded Arabism, and Jesus founded Christianity.

The Buddhist scriptures say that all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and ordinary people are covered with afflictions without manifestation, and if they stop their afflictions, they will manifest Buddha nature. Buddha-nature, also known as "as-a-nature", "awareness", "self-nature", etc., is the nature of the Buddha, or refers to the possibility of becoming a Buddha.

Buddhism refers to the attainment of Buddhahood as "eternal freedom from the troubles of birth and death and the attainment of supreme enlightenment", that is, the attainment of incomparably complete wisdom and enlightenment, that is, the elevation of human nature to the level of divinity. And the so-called "break troubles", that is, the mind has no distracting thoughts, the mind is like stopping water, and then people and the universe are connected with the artistic conception, and the vitality of heaven and earth will naturally flow into the body, which is also a Taoist saying.

Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures believe that human beings are originally "self-sufficient", and "self-nature" is originally "pure", complete, immortal, and "able to give birth to ten thousand laws", but for various reasons, people often cannot see their own nature. As long as a person continues to cultivate to make his mind clear and clear, and to restore his purity and completeness, he may be able to manifest all kinds of supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yan was even more confident in the path of cultivation, if the seal of the gene could be completely opened, he could even see the peak of the path of cultivation. Moreover, he firmly believes that this path of cultivation is also open for others, the only difference is the time it takes to open the seal.

The seal is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of the courage of human beings to resist and the wisdom to fight. Just like cattle and sheep in captivity, once they lose their wildness, they will be reduced to meat to be slaughtered; And even for the weakest ants, thousands of hissing bites can destroy a strong dike.

Human beings may be lambs raised by gods and demons in captivity, in order to squeeze out the goat's milk of "faith" and the meat of "soul". But human beings are human beings after all, and they are a race that needs freedom and dignity more, and they can die standing rather than live on their knees.

"In the future, the Tower of Babel must be rebuilt, this is a must."

Zhu Yan opened his eyes slightly, and his face was full of determination.

At this time, Zhu Yan didn't know that they were not alone on the road of exploration and struggle. Because in that far West, there is still a group of people who have resolutely chosen another path, trying to break the seal of God by discovering the brilliance of reason. The monastic civilization of the East and the technological civilization of the West turned out to be the same in the end.

The group of people, known as "Freemasonry", which means "free stonemasons", came from ancient times and are said to be the descendants of the stonemasons who built the Tower of Babel, and their organization is called Freemasonry.

Perhaps, the construction of the Tower of Babel was only superficially halted, and the stonemasons who wanted to take their fate into their own hands did not give in, they just chose a more secret way to achieve the ultimate path of human freedom.

The Tower of Babel will definitely be rebuilt!
