086 【Spiritual Teaching】
As for values, they are mainly quotations from Ma Whistle, presented in a form similar to the Analects, such as asking a question on a rainy day, and Ma Whistle answering.
The content is almost all scientific, moral, and profane, and there are a lot of interesting metaphors, which are the basic skills of Ma Whistle as a good teacher.
In this entire religious system, Ma Whistle is positioned as the "embodiment of light", the first light that germinates from the singularity, the messenger of light of the Great Spirit, and the embodiment of the cosmic order in the human world.
At the beginning of the world, he oscillated through the universe in the form of photons—one of the allusions to wave-particle duality, until he fell into the flesh and blood of a human being.
As a human body of light and order, the horse whistle naturally embodies all virtues, including kindness, justice, bravery, wisdom, friendship, and so on.
Of course...... Humility and indifference are also essential, so this embodiment of light and order necessarily refuses to admit his divinity.
This premise provides an excellent defense for the horse whistle, who can criticize religion while enjoying the aura that religion brings to him.
Since there is the embodiment of light and order, there will naturally be the embodiment of darkness and chaos.
But there is only one incarnation of order, and the incarnation of chaos and evil is endless, because things have a tendency to spontaneously chaotic - this is one of the hints to the second law of thermodynamics.
As for what are the incarnations of chaos and evil, the holy scriptures do not explicitly say, but the point is very clear, that is, the false gods of other religions and those who bewitch the public in the name of false gods, these false gods and believers are characterized by no wisdom and lack of humility, as the messenger of the true God, the horse whistle expounds many truths, invents all kinds of technologies, but resolutely denies their own divinity, and the false god believers claim to be the truth, but they are useless.
Because order is far more rare than chaos, fairness and justice must always be achieved through struggle, not by taking it for granted.
There has never been an inevitable savior, and only by being diligent in practice and thinking, making unremitting efforts in the turbulent currents of chaos, and adhering to a pure, heartfelt belief that is not affected by external objects, can mankind move towards a better future of world harmony...... This seems to be a bit of a sign of the "liberation theology" of later Latin America.
The canon also orients rainy days.
In the setting, Rainy Sky is a perceptive shaman who is the first to realize the divinity of Ma Whistle and becomes Ma Whistle's best friend and first student.
By recording and collating the experiences and quotations of the horse whistle, as well as the revelation of a dream, Rainy Day wrote this sacred text to help spread the light in the universe.
There is also a supplementary premise in which Ma Whistle denies his divinity, but this sacred text was written by a close friend, and out of the virtue of friendship, he did not force the deletion of the description of his own divinity.
Late that night, the candles in the chieftain's hall were dim.
"It's finally finished." He yawned on a rainy day, but looked at the dozens of pages of the manuscript in his hand with excited eyes.
Then he looked up at the horse whistle: "How is it, what is the name of this book, have you figured it out?" ”
"Let's call it the Spiritual Oracle." Ma Whistle said, writing down the text at the same time, a patchwork of semi-original words, the pronunciation is a bit mysterious.
Rainy Sky nodded: "I will teach the Oracle to every shaman priest and make them your most staunch believers." ”
Ma Whistle seemed to think of something: "By the way, carefully select a group of shamans in their twenties and thirties, at least three of them, who are required to have firm faith, strict self-discipline, excellent language skills, and proficiency in traumatic first aid." ”
Rainy day guessed his thoughts: "You want to put them in the army?" ”
"That's right." Ma Sentry nodded, "These people are called 'war shamans', and I plan to arrange a war shaman for each Baidu to stabilize military discipline and morale, and also work part-time as a military doctor to treat the wounded." ”
"If the religion changes, of course the shaman must also change. In the future, shamans should be brave warriors, not just know how to jump gods. ”
The two talked for a while, and on a rainy day they asked, "Do you want to preach to whites and blacks?" ”
Ma Whistle: "Of course, since the religion was created, it is natural to do the whole thing. But it's not the time lately, we have to deal with the interior first, stabilize it a bit, and then translate it into English to convey faith to Clark Town and the world. ”
……
The spread of the new religion soon began, and it was very ferocious, conquering the spiritual world of the inhabitants of Sleeping Bear without hindrance.
After all, the religion of the Indians is so primitive and rudimentary, like their level of technology, that it can almost be described as unbearable to look at.
In the Internet age, you can pick any person and casually make up a set of religious theories that beat the Indian faith, and even directly excerpt from fantasy novels.
As a product of the elaborate design of horse whistles and rainy days, the "Spiritual Oracle" borrows many terms from Indian legends, and the effect on the Indians can be imagined.
Within a few days, some of this content began to spread among the sleeping bears, such as the divine identity of the horse whistle.
"Great Chief, I know that you are the messenger of the Great Spirit, and the High Priest has already told us!" During a break in army training, some soldiers said.
"That's right, I've watched the Oracle too!"
Leaving it on the back burner, Ma Whistle would naturally blurt out an attempt to dissociate himself from the ghosts and gods.
He still does it now, but knowing the outcome, he inevitably has a strange sense of shame in his heart.
I only heard the horse whistle say, "You can believe many of my teachings in the Spiritual Message, but don't believe those words that praise me." The high priest insisted that I had divinity and that I could not help it, but I still had to say that I had no divinity, and if I had divinity, everyone would have it too. ”
Sure enough, the soldiers who listened to these words not only did not weaken their faith, but believed in the theory of the "Spiritual Oracle" even more.
People were talking even more excitedly.
"Sure enough, as the High Priest told us, the High Chief will never admit his divinity!"
"So that's what 'modesty' means......"
"Have you ever seen those white preachers, no matter what denomination, no matter what school, everyone claims to be the spokesman of the true God, how arrogant!"
"Yes, how can true oracles be so arrogant, they don't possess the virtue of humility at all! They are believers in false gods! ”
"High qualities, so that the true oracle refuses to confess his own oracle nature; Despicable qualities, but the believers of false gods always regard themselves as the spokesmen of the gods...... Probably this is the tragedy of faith. ”
Although I had expected it, I still had a strange feeling when I heard these discussions that constantly admired and deified me.
How so...... It's pretty cool.
Marx once said that religion is opium, and Ma Whistle now has a new understanding of this sentence.
This thing is opium not only to the believers, but also to the founders.
