"The Patriarch took us to visit here today, hoping that we can do our best." Seeing that the monks under his command were very active, Dmitri said proactively.
"I heard that your religious order has always been steadfast and pious, and has been relentlessly pursuing the truth regardless of difficulties and dangers. This moved me and several patriarchs very much," said Lama Wang.
"When Mr. Guo was sorting out the works of ancient philosophers, he discovered these records and restored them with the support of the church." He shook his whisk and pointed to the experimental equipment on the table: "What's even more valuable is that , from the wisdom of ancient wise men, we can see new ways of practicing Holy Light."
"What do you mean?" Dmitri was a little surprised and asked hurriedly.
"This is the philosophical issue we just talked about." Guo Kang pointed to the "all things" at the end of the writing board: "As we all know, we mortals are located here without education or training - in the first Level four.”
"And what we revere and try to get close to is here -" He pointed to the front: "Based on my superficial understanding, the ultimate goal of theological research and practice should be how we feel and approach 'Taiyi', that is, God’s place—at the first level of the highest.”
Dmitri nodded.
"The monastery's previous choice was to try to let people directly experience the second level of holy light." He drew a line from "all things" to "Nus": "But I have read so many books and found that This step may be too big."
"We cannot rule out that there are some saints who are particularly favored by God and can directly feel God and contact divine wisdom with their own bodies. But obviously, most people, including me, do not have this condition." Guo Kang shook his head and said : "The motto of classical times said, 'Mortal, know thyself'. We should heed these admonitions."
"In front of the supreme holiness, we should all remain humble and honestly start from the most basic wisdom." He pointed to the "soul".
"Aristotle believed that plants, animals, etc. all have souls. This soul is not what we usually call the human soul, but the collective name for the forms and laws of all things." He drew a link connecting the fourth and third Level reverse arrow: "You see, we may not be able to directly bathe in the Holy Light and feel the second-level 'Nus'. But through reason, we can recognize the ever-changing laws and understand the third-level and all things.' soul'."
"Different from realization, Aristotle believes that knowledge can be taught and accumulated. And all knowledge comes from this 'origin'. This means that we can no longer just rely on our own perception, but have More support.”
"Then." He used a reverse arrow to connect the third and second levels: "When this understanding is sufficient, we can get closer to God's wisdom and achieve the same or even more advantageous methods as the ideal state of spiritual practice. .”
"Yes, this is equivalent to everyone practicing Kung Fu from scratch, but we have a very reliable Kung Fu secret book in our hands." Lama Wang helped: "Those strange people who can start their own sects may not care too much. But for the vast majority of us, it will definitely be of great benefit.”
"With the help of this information and knowledge, the church can also operate more effectively, using this set of tools to rigorously identify truth and error. And educate more believers, regulate their behavior, and carry out the mission given to us by Heavenly Father."
"Philosophy, especially natural philosophy, some people think it is a part of theology, and some people think it is an independent knowledge, but we can see from here that as long as it is the truth, it will lead to the same destination." He finally made a conclusion: "Until we reach our distant ideals, these learnings are, without a doubt, at least a very useful tool."
"Therefore, I hope that in the future, all monks who take the glory of the Heavenly Father as their own duty can properly practice natural philosophy as an example for believers." He looked at Dmitri: "This is also the reason why we found your monastic order. s reason."
"We will definitely do our best." Dmitri and others responded happily.
"As long as you have this intention, don't be too anxious. This is a long-term and distant job, and it may last until the day of judgment - I can only wish Heavenly Father and Yuanli to take care of you."
The monks repeatedly expressed their gratitude for his blessings and instructions. Several people were moved to tears.
While they were communicating, Guo Kang stepped aside and breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period of time, he worked hard to make amends for a while, and even asked little Jeanne a lot of key questions, and finally he came up with this statement.
Of course, various parts of this theory have actually been put forward by someone before. He just made some adjustments and then made slight adjustments.
The key to convincing these people is the huge shock brought by these demonstrations. If he relied solely on his own level of theology, he would probably be able to render any monk speechless...
Even on matters of faith, direct demonstration of "miracles" is much more effective than theoretical arguments.
Soon, Lama Wang encouraged these monks one by one. He looked for Guo Kang's hand again: "Master, take everyone to see somewhere else."
"Okay." Guo Kang nodded: "Everyone, come with me."
He led everyone to another room. The monks filed out, followed by Tuo Huan and Wu Han at the door. This was not the first time for them to watch the demonstration, but they still sighed with emotion for a while. Seeing that Guo Kang was going to introduce those weird gadgets again, he followed him.
"The research we do on electricity requires some basic knowledge. If you are interested, you can ask Dean John for a book or give you a lecture." Guo Kang said.
"Here are all the various devices we made." He pointed to the various things on the shelves in the room: "It may not be as interesting as the ones just now, but these are the basis for the large-scale equipment just now."
"For example... look at this." He picked up a clay pot. There were two copper pillars on the wooden lid of the pot as interfaces. Opening the jar, there was a roll of something inside. Guo Kang carefully spread it out. It turned out to be two copper foils with a piece of asphalt-smeared cloth in between.
"This nickname is 'Timur's Bottle'." He introduced: "There is a widely circulated folk tale in the world of Tianfang Sect. It is said that there are all kinds of strange things imprisoned in some bottles, oil lamps and other containers. A strange thing. The story unfolds when the protagonist obtains this kind of container. Our bottle also contains power."
"Did Timur invent this bottle?" Dmitri asked curiously.
"No." Guo Kang shook his head and said, "The official name of this bottle should be 'Capacitor', which has nothing to do with Emperor Timur. It's just that he also likes to shut down electricity, so he uses this as his nickname."
"ah……"
