The period from the beginning to the end of Heaven and Earth is called a Cycle of Heaven and Earth and one cycle is 129 Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 270 Triple Black Shoes UK ,600 years. Each cycle is divided into 12 phases of which one phase is 10,800 years. In a cycle, the first six phases belong to "Yang" meaning creation and cultivation. The last six phases belong to "Yin" meaning harvesting and suspension. All matters and beings also follow the order but on a smaller scale, the four seasons which repeat itself; growth is in spring Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 270 Hot Punch Shoes UK Black , flourishing in summer, harvesting in autumn and suspension in winter. A human being goes through four stages; infancy, adolescence, adulthood and old age. It can also be called the progression and regression cycle of life.
In the growth phases Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Shoes UK Triple White , God called on seven Buddhas to govern the world so the growth would be orderly. In the regression phases, God called on three Buddhas to amass the souls so that the returning of souls and the essence of everything are orderly.
In the last 5,000 years, it has three periods called the Green Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 270 Shoes UK White HOT PUNCH , Red and White Periods and three Buddhas. The Green Period was ruled by Ran-deng Buddha which began around 3043BC for 1816 years. At that time there were nine worldwide catastrophes and they were all floods called the "Long-han Flood". The Red Period was ruled by Sakyamuni Buddha which began around the time of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty year 1227BC for 3140 years. At that time there were eighteen fire catastrophes in the form of wars and battles called the "Zhi-ming Fire". The third Period is called the "White Period" and is ruled by Mi-Le Buddha about a hundred years ago which occurs at the transition from the Red Period to the White Period and will last for 10,800 years. According to the collective sins and debts human beings carry, God descends eighty-one catastrophes. The eighty-first catastrophe is the catastrophe of "Gang-feng" (a wind-like catastrophe). This Killer Wind Catastrophe is just like explosions of nuclear bombs; after a big bang, everything within its range will be anihilated. It is the last catastrophe of the Third Period and never seen before by man.
Why is the last catastrophe so destructive? The technology and civilization of mankind have reached the peak. People have disregarded the Truth and moralities. The human mind is so deteriorated that most people are driven by desires. Debts and sins mankind collected have never been so much before Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 270 KPU TPU Shoes UK Black , therefore the magnitudes of catastrophes and destructions will be much greater than before. The last catastrophe will lead to the total destruction of the human civilization and technology. It is also the time for all righteous souls to go back to God's Kingdom. It is described as the "Final Judgement" in the Bible according to Tao of Heaven.
White Sun signifies the beginning of the end of the age, meaning the beginning of the end of one cycle of Heaven and Earth and it will appear before year 2000 according to Tao of Heaven. The author saw it twice, in 1994 and 1997 and each time it was like a huge giant white balloon in the early morning sky without glaring for a few seconds. At this time Mi-Le Buddha (Maitreya Buddha) is given the mission of ruling Heaven and Earth and to save the righteous souls back to Heaven. Together with him, JiGong Buddha Nike Air Max 270 React Sale UK , Yue-Hui Buddha, Goddess of Mercy and many other Buddhas, Saints, Bodhisattvas are ordered to help in attaining the mission of Mi-Le Buddha in the salvation of mankind. In addition Cheap Nike Air Max 270 React UK , all deities are also ordered to descend to the world to help this Holy Mission. They will teach people to repent and reform themselves so that people will do good deeds and the magnitudes of the catastrophes will be reduced.
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice?
To do it all!
To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can Nike Air Max 270 React UK , every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before.
The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.
