Shen Shu - L'oracle des nombres sacrés

Product Information

Shen plays a central role in Christian translational disputes over Chinese terms for God. Among the early Chinese "god; God" names, shangdi 上帝 or di was the Shang term, tian 天 was the Zhou term, and shen was a later usage (see Feng Yu-Lan. [7] Modern terms for "God" include shangdi, zhu 主, tianzhu 天主 (esp. Catholics), and shen 神 (esp. Protestants).

Spirit; mind, mental faculties; consciousness. Like: concentrated attention; tire the mind; concentrate one's energy and attention. ( 精神.如: 凝神; 劳神; 聚精会神.) Sure, BUT in the context of our consciousness embodied with our speciesness the idealist viewpoints are 'ideal' and not 'real' when viewed from how we as a species integrate with reality. Our consciousness stems from the ideal in that the focus is on CLEAR, PERFECT, viewpoints but due to their PARTS nature these viewpoints can also be 'distortions' of reality - as we see in fundamentalist faiths etc (both religious and secular). Clarity requires the ability to go PAST the immediate reality itself, we need to get details to get a 'clear' picture.The above process reflects general-to-particular processing, but you can start particular-to-general (abduction process) where something particular draws attention (as in 'this is meaningful in some way') and we go through all of the existing hypotheses of the collective to find where this particular 'fits'. This process can make a novel association of the particular with a general and so an 'insight' can occur, a new relationship discovered besides the relationship of that particular to its 'true', usual, general. Chinese legend also holds that learning Tie Ban is problematic, as the literary sources are deliberately obscured to prevent novices from easily gaining this precious knowledge. In the traditional Chinese theory of sanbao, shen is associated with the yin side of yin and yang ( Heaven and Earth; Earth tied to jing in particular in traditional Chinese medicine). Heaven is the origin of the spiritual aspect of humanity and provides ongoing spiritual influences, and therefore, it is associated with the heart, while Earth is the origin of the physical aspect of humankind/nature and is traditionally related to our kidneys or lower dantian. The ongoing harmonious interaction of Heaven and Earth creates qi in this case human and therefore is associated with the spleen, stomach and liver in the middle Jiao, which is essential to create balance and harmony therefore maintaining a good standard of health and creating life. As i see it there are two main uses for knowing your fate: 1. knowing when bad times are ahead and making adjustments, 2. knowing when prosperous times are ahead to put in all energy for best success.

Our MINDS will notice this distortion and focus on this sense of the 'eternal' that can come with the distortion and, ignorant of the physiology and its consequences, will create a story to 'rationalise' the experience of the 'eternal'. From that sense has developed a lot of 'interesting' interpretations of reality (and so welcome to the concept of maya). Personal beliefs then emerge as 'distortions' of these basics and we note that given no facts our brains will fantasise to rationalise ;-)
