The great villain "Iblis"

 So what is a devil after all?


I think in Islam it was Iblis. He was also one of God's creations, an angel, but he told God that he could turn humans against God,


so God said, "Then go ahead and do it,"


and he entered people's hearts as a devil, I think that's the plot. In Christianity it's Satan, who was also a former angel. This one is a fallen angel.


In other words, Iblis entered our hearts as a devil with God's approval. After all, there's no way an angel like him could defeat God. They're on completely different levels. It's not a contest from the start. Iblis must have known that very well. So Iblis


"dared to take on the role of the villain." 

He took on the role of the most disadvantageous, the most hated, and in the end, always brilliantly defeated by justice, that is, by love. Without him, God's glory would not be highlighted.


But Iblis, the villain, has been trying a little too hard lately? It's true that he is a little over the top, but does that mean he is a great villain?


And because he continues to play his role so well, it means that there is no one among us who is 100% good.


So why did God have to select Iblis as the villain?


Is it because of the way we humans perceive things?


Light and darkness, good and evil, life and death


It seems that we cannot perceive things without opposing concepts. So in order to perceive God, we need to create a devil as an opposing concept. Without a villain, there would be no hero.


Human nature is a little sad.


Why is it like this?


Maybe it comes from the mechanism of the neural circuits in the brain? The information that neurons receive is ultimately electrical signals, right? Electrical signals are on or off, right? The opposing concepts of on and off. Or 0 and 1.


Humans' way of perceiving things is made up of on and off. If it was always on or always off, we wouldn't be able to perceive anything.


Everything comes from God, but if God is everything, humans won't understand God if they leave it that way.


Even so, I hope he'll go easy on this rare and great villain.


Let love and mercy guide us.

Do not charge interest

 "You shall not earn interest." This is a famous teaching in the Quran, and it is a powerful blow that nullifies the self-replicating function of money. As I wrote before, "Money is already LIFE because it has the ability to self-replicate." and the basis of that self-replicating function of money is "interest." Humans created "money" to replace barter, making trade and the accumulation of wealth easier. Furthermore, by granting "interest" to money, they gave money itself the ability to self-replicate. They breathed the "life" into money. Money then began to have the will to "increase on its own," and as a means to dominate, it used humans. Once you give money interest, it grows exponentially, just like living things grow exponentially. (Just by looking at the way it grows, you can see that money has "life".) For example, when a cell divides, it doubles. When it divides again, it doubles again. It's 2 t...

The birth of a new life called "money"

 I was at the enemy's headquarters. A place where there is a lot of money. A place where money gathers. A bank. "Traitor!" Indeed. "Are you a spy?" Maybe. Maybe a "double agent." "Why did you join the bank?" Of course, "Because I love money!" When I was in the accounting department, "Mr. X, please give me 200 million by 3 o'clock." "Got it!" I seal 100 10,000 yen($100) bills in a small band, then seal 10 of them in a large band to make 10 million. 10 of those make 100 million, and 20 of those make 200 million. It takes about 30 minutes to make it. I put it in a bag. One person can manage 100 million yen ($1million) , but 200 million yen ($2million) would be difficult unless there are two people. It's money. Money. My beloved money. It's the money I dreamed of and longed for. There's lots of it. There's no end to it. Whether you look to the right, to the left, forward, backward, down, or up, th...

How to win "Money"

 If you borrow money, interest will accrue and it will grow exponentially, so you will soon lose control and be ruined. We have seen the scary power of exponential growth, but is there no way to beat money? Is this already a losing battle? Wait a minute. Why not just not borrow money? Or rather, what would happen if you deposited money? The current interest rate for fixed deposits in US dollars is... 4.1% (Sumitomo Mitsui SBI). 1.041 to the 100th power is... 1.041 to the 100th power is about 55.60. (by ChatGPT) "55.6 times! I did it! I'm rich." You'll be dead in 100 years? Right. That's pointless. Well, if it's 30 years, 1.041 to the 30th power is about 3.34. (by ChatGPT) "3.34 times? That's pretty good. I'm not poor anymore." Did you just win? To money? Our enemy, that almost invincible "money"? Debts grow exponentially, but so do savings, so if we can use the secret of our enemy's strength, the "interest" system, to ...
