In retrospect, we see that the major religions have been the only forces that were capable of surviving - massive upheaval and the destruction of civilizations... (C. Dunne)
The early humans had made natural powers to “Gods”: the sun, the moon, the rivers and springs and everything that helps our lives. - Later humans that bring culture and benefactors are made to “Gods.” - Demeter and Dionysus, who invented farming and bread production, viticulture and vinification. - A sophisticated, wise man of thought invented at that time the human fear of the gods by the first time, so that there is a deterrent for the bad, even if they secretly would do or speak, or were thinking something bad... (Critias, Plato's uncle)
In more than one way, the intellect is harmful, but for our practical life, it is a useful tool, and as long as we use it in a sensible way - we will gain much benefit from it...
Moral is limiting and binding. - Life out of "Zen" means to be oneself, and is therefore always a self-activity. - A morning with "Zen" is a good morning, every day is a good day, - no matter how stormy it may be...
"Zen" is as free as a bird that flies, - like the fish swimming, - the lily, which blooms ...
The pure ascetic is not the “Nirvana” one, while the “Bikkhu” (monk) who violates the rules, is not coming in the hell, - statements which are completely opposite to the ideas of morality (see heaven & hell etc. - d.48)… (D. T. Suzuki)

“It was wonderful: As one reads through the Bible we see total massive upheaval and the destruction of civilizations... it is amazing the stories the bible tells us if we take the time to read... the history is wonderful and some in revelation is like reading a newspaper today, too much coming true... we can receive so much knowledge that pertains to us today... I love this statement "Zen is as free as a bird that flies, - like the fish swimming, - the lily which blooms ... thanks dali48”...
