God's grace is overwhelming

Last time, I said that there are many absurd things in this world, and that sometimes I wonder, "Does God exist?" I'm sure you all agree, but there's something I must say in God's honor.


Even considering the absurdity of this world, God's grace far surpasses it.


Looking at the big picture, God's grace is overwhelming.


How much has the human population grown since the dawn of humanity? According to recent research, the modern human population was at its lowest at around 100,000. Now it's at 8.4 billion. Just how much has it grown?


If I complained to God about the absurdity of the world,


He would probably respond, "Do you realize how many people I've helped to increase?"


If aliens from a distant galaxy were to look at Earth,


they would surely describe it as "humankind's unprecedented prosperity."


And not just humans. Since life first appeared 4 billion years ago, Earth has teemed with life. There have apparently been several periods of mass extinction, but we've overcome them all and it remains teeming with life today. From space, the Earth appears


to be experiencing an "unprecedented flourishing of life."


At the very least, the Earth is enjoying a miraculous "unprecedented flourishing."


God's grace is overwhelming in this world.


If the world were filled with misfortunes like war and poverty, and if absurdity prevailed, humanity would steadily decline and become extinct by now. But in reality, it is growing at an incomprehensible rate. It's growing at an "absurd" rate. In developed countries, population has plateaued or is declining, but if it were to increase any further, it would be truly dangerous.


When I think of God's overwhelming grace, the misfortunes of this world seem to pale in comparison.


When you see the Earth from space, you are captivated by its beauty.


To aliens, the Earth appears like a miraculous planet, like heaven.


The Earth is loved by God, teeming with life, and humanity, loved by God, is multiplying so rapidly.


That is the fact, or rather, reality.

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...

The scriptures are love letters to humanity

Image
 When I read the Buddhist scriptures, I feel like the Buddha is trying to woo me. It's so persistent that I'm like, "Okay, I get it. You're so persistent. All I have to do is believe, right? I have no choice, so I'll believe in you." It's like the solicitation of some noisy new religion. Usually, you have to work hard, practice hard, and finally the Buddha will respond, turn to you, God will turn to you, but for some reason, in my case, the relationship is reversed. The Buddha is the one who is desperate, and it comes to me. The Buddha is desperately trying to somehow turn all living beings to him. The Buddhist scriptures are love letters sent from the Buddha to all living beings. The holy scriptures are love letters sent from God to humanity. Buddhist scriptures, holy scriptures, are confessions of love, messages of love, love letters to humanity, desperately trying to convey how much the Buddha ,or God, loves us. This is true of Buddhist scriptures, the ...
