From Civilization to Culture: 文明から文化へ

 

下院議長ペローシ氏の台湾訪問は中国の台湾周辺での軍事演習を引き起こし、海上及び空中航路に干渉しました。彼女の法門はロシアがウクライナを侵略したように中国の台湾侵略を止める為でした。このような状況下で核不拡散条約再考懐疑はロシアの、核抑止を齎さなかった、核威嚇を非難したが、それらを廃止するまで進歩するようには見えません。私達は世界中に地球温暖化による記録的な自然災害受け、食料、避難民、飢餓、差別、汚染、大量絶滅などの他の問題を持っています。

 

この地球問題群、相互依存する諸問題、は五禍をもつ金・物・力の奪い合いの人工的な一方向金字塔文明(都市又は城市、civitasに由来し、都市化という意味)に由来しています。典型的な金字塔組織は(都市と国民)国家で、それが戦争、奴隷制、階級などを生み今では、全世界的に汚染し破滅さえ齎す核を生み出しているのです。これらの根本的原因は人間の業、特に貪瞋痴の三毒であり、即ち罪(=分離、病患利己主義)です。

 

文明は人類史の千分の一、生命史の約百万分の一に過ぎません。それ以前には自然な循環的命帝網文化・修養(耕作)がありました。例えば、自然と調和し戦争などの無かった縄文文化は文明の三倍以上の長さを持っています。部族、民族、世界宗教はその共同体内の聖(健全全体)に再帰(religion はラテン語religare再結合に由来)していました。人間が世界に再帰すれば私達は、普遍宗教が例示した様に、何時でも世界を聖的で健康的で幸福にすることが出来ます。

 

これをするには私達が、先ず、仮構と仮構体を生む、自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義の五仮構について、次に国家、企業、メディア、宗教、教育の五仮構体について、業から法へ、罪から聖へ、エゴからエコへ転換して、覚醒しそれに応じた活動をしなければなりません。一切の為に私達は生権(生命・生活、共存・共同)と人権(自由、自治、平等・平和など)を認め、利己・反社な行動、法律、制度などを排除しなければならなりません。

3. 現代の活動体としての五仮構体は国家、宗教、企業、メディア、教育であり、これらはお互いに癒着し腐敗させ合うことができます。

 

4. 人工的な一方向的金字塔文明(civilizationは城市civitas, 城砦citadelからの造語で都市化という意味)から覚醒、自由、平等、友愛、平和の五福を伴い命、心、和の為の自然的で循環的命帝網文化(修養)への枠組転換をご参照下さい:

5. 私達が、自分達の業、特に貪瞋痴の三毒、を止めて、修養するなら、縁起(因縁生起)の法、即ち一切の現象が因(原因)と縁(条件)に依って相互依存して生起することに覚醒出来、自我が実質で主宰であると言う迷妄や社会(国家を含む)、地位、種族、象徴主義の迷妄を直証出来ます。

 

6. 修養の最善、直接、普遍、実践的方法は静坐で、業を静め、法を見、一切に奉仕、救済します。止業は涅槃(業の、無風)は(縁起に依り)現象の無我の性質を啓示(明らかに提示)します。これは典型的に友愛、慈悲、喜悦、平静(捨離、放棄)の四無量(四梵住:四至高/

清浄生活とも言われる)に表現されています。平静は涅槃(零、無我など)で、そこから私達は五過誤や五仮構体(国家、会社、宗教、メディア、教育)の仮構性を理解でき、真正な喜悦、慈悲、友愛を発展出来ます。

 

7. 友愛は全ての宗教(religion, ラテン語のreligare再結合:罪:分離我利から聖:全体健全への)のMitra, Mithra, Mazda, Maitreya, Messiahほかの理想的姿(未来救済者ですが、実際には誰でもが必要の時の友になれる可能性)の普遍的理想です。私達は、人種、宗教などの境界を低くし自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義(イドラ、偶像、イムズ、イデオロギーなど)の境界を越えて友情を発展させる必要があります。

8. 国家主義、軍事主義、独裁主義、覇権等は世界人権宣言(世界人務宣言は至急必要です)、国際法、国連、国際司法裁判所、国際刑事裁判所など、これらは諸生命と生命系の為に改定され更に強化されるべきですが、のようなもっと普遍的法により阻止されるべきです。

 

9. 都市国家から国民国家までの国家組織は、金字塔組織の典型ですが、人類の歴史の千分の一(国民国家は国家組織の十分の一)であり、生命史の約百万分の一であり、宇宙カレンダーでは最後の十秒に過ぎません。だから私達はそれらを変えて、戦争、核ホロコーストの危険のない国家組織以前の帝釈網状態のような更に原初的な状態を取り戻すことができます。

 

House speaker Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan made China have military exercises around Taiwan, interfering with the sea and air ways. Her visit was to stop China’s invasion into Taiwan, like Russia invaded Ukraine. In such a situation the NPT Review Conference accused the Russians of a nuclear threat, which provided no deterrence of nukes, but seems not to progress in abolishing them. We have record natural disasters all over the world due to global warming and other problems of food, refugees, starvation, discrimination, pollution, mass extinction, etc.

 

The causes of this global problematique, intertwined problems, come from our artificial, unidirectional pyramidal civilization (urbanization, from civitas, city or citadel) scrambling for money, matter, and might with the Five Calamities. The typical pyramidal system is of (city and nation) states, which started wars, slavery, class, etc., and now even nukes to pollute and perish all over the world. The fundamental cause of them is human karma, essentially the Triple Poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion, i.e., sin (= separation, sick selfishness).

 

Civilization is only a thousandth of human history, about a millionth of the whole of life history. Before it was a natural, cyclical, life-oriented Indra-net culture and cultivation. For instance, Jomon culture, in harmony with nature, without war, was more than three times longer than the history of civilization. Tribal, national, world religions were to reunite (religare: reunion) holiness (wholesome whole) from sin within communities. If humans reunite with the world, we can make the whole world holy, healthy, and happy anytime as demonstrated in universal religions.

 

To do this, we must be awakened and act accordingly, first to the Five Fictions of Self, Society, Status, Species, and Symbolism, which create fictions and fictitious bodies, and then to the Five Fictitious Bodies of State, Corporation, Media, Religion, and Education, shifting from karma to Dharma, sin to holiness, ego to eco. For the benefit of all, we must recognize life rights (life, living, co-existence, co-operation) and human rights (freedom, autonomy, equality, peace, etc.), avoiding selfish anti-social actions, laws, institutions, etc.

  1. The Five Fictitious Bodies, as modern major players, are states, religions, corporations, media, and education, which can collude or corrupt each other.
  1. Please refer to a paradigm shift from an artificial unidirectional pyramidal civilization for money, matter, and might with the Five Calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination to a natural, cyclical life Indra-net culture for life, heart, and harmony with the Five Blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, friendship, and peace:

  1. If we cultivate ourselves, stopping our karma, especially the Triple Poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion, we can awaken to the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, that all phenomena are interdependently originated on causes and conditions, and witness the fundamental delusion of Self as substance and sovereign, and Society (including State), Status, Species, and Symbolism. The Triple Learning of morality, concentration (meditation), and prognosis is to counterpart the Triple Poisons.
  1. The best, direct, universal, practical way of cultivation is still sitting, stilling karma, seeing the Dharma, serving and saving all. Stilling karma, called nirvana (no wind, of karma), reveals the selfless nature of phenomena (due to Dependent Co-origination). This is typically expressed in the Four Limitlessnesses (also called Brahma-viharas, Supreme/Pure Living) of friendship, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Equanimity is nirvana (zero, no self, etc.), wherefrom we can understand the fictionality of the Five Fictions and Five Fictitious Bodies (of states, companies, religions, media, and education), and develop genuine joy, compassion, and friendship.
  1. The universal religion should be rational, scientific, holy, and hospitable for all beyond sin, superstition, discrimination, dogmatism, dictatorship. Friendship is the universal ideal of all religions (from Latin, religare, reunion with holiness, wholly wholesomeness, from sin, separate selfishness) as seen in the ideal figure of Mitra, Mithra, Mazda, Maitreya, Messiah, et al. (future saviors, actually anyone’s potential to become true friends in need). We need to develop friendship beyond boundaries of Self, Society, Status, Species, and Symbolism (idola, idols, isms, ideologies, etc.), lowering national, racial, religious boundaries, etc.
  1. Nationalism, militarism, dictatorship, hegemony, etc. must by stopped by more universal laws like the Declaration of Universal Human Rights (and the Declaration of Universal Human Responsibilities, urgently needed), international laws, the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, etc., which are to be revised and revitalized for lives and life systems.
  1. State systems from city states to nation states, representative of a pyramidal system, is a thousandth of human history (nation states are one tenth of state systems), almost a millionth of life history, just 10 seconds at the end of the Cosmic Calendar. So, we can change them to take back more original state like the Indra-net state before state systems with wars, the danger of the nuclear holocaust.
