不可知论可以是比所谓的唯物论更坚定的无神论
少贴标签。要看具体观点。无神论与无神论未必一样。甚至严格来说一神教信徒,也是无神论者。因为神与神是不一样。有的指阴间鬼神,有的指万物有灵,有的是先天第一因的人格化。
本人是不可知论,是比许多所谓的唯物主义者更坚定的无神论者,因为他们一旦看到了神,就会转变改信有神论,而我看到了,也不会信,因为换一套电视剧剧情不等于掌握电视机原理。我不是光说说而已,我的确看到过一些不可思议的奇景。
《莫贴标签:真正的终极之战在内不在外》
现代人类面对的最大危机,或许并非资源、权力或地理的争夺,而是内心的“终极之战”。这种斗争并不显现在真实战场上,而是以信念与怀疑、希望与焦虑的形式在心灵深处潜伏不息。我们往往将这种内在的紧张投射到外部世界,以信仰、标签和身份为依托,为自己在世上找到位置。逐渐地,这种投射形成了各种对立的阵营与敌对关系,甚至不惜以“圣战”或“正义之战”相称。这些外部冲突的根源,其实正是人类内心深处的挣扎。
一神教中的“圣战”观念尤其说明了这一点。在传统的一神教义中,信仰必须解释一个核心问题:如果造物主至善,为何世上仍存在罪恶?为了这一解释,一神教不得不提出“魔鬼”的存在,一个与神对立的黑暗力量。虽然一神教的核心理念在于唯一的神,但实际上,这种信仰中总带着两个永恒对立的面——神与魔,光明与黑暗。因此,信徒们被推向非此即彼的阵营,逐渐滋生出一种“地球毁于一场符合经文的末世战争”也可接受的思想。
不仅是宗教,整个文明的秩序从古至今都在追求一种“统一的真理”或“终极信仰”,试图以此来解决心灵的分裂。然而,信仰中种种看似合理的解释并不能真正消除人内心的质疑与恐惧。内心挣扎的根源,正是人对“我”与“非我”、能知与所知的基本矛盾。我们追寻一个明确的“自我”来安放灵魂,却在内观时发现这个“我”是模糊而无法定位的。所谓“骑驴找驴,头外觅头”,便是对这种处境的生动写照——有了一个“我”的观念,却无法找到“我”究竟在何处。
外部信仰、标签和各种信念似乎为自我找到了立足点,但它们始终无法消除所有的怀疑。相反,这些外在依赖反而加剧了我们内心的攀缘,不断在信仰与身份认同中寻求一种最终的安定,却始终无法解决心灵深处的不安。许多自称为神代理者的人喜欢宣称自己“谦卑”,但他们的言辞中常流露出隐藏的傲慢。若真正渴望改变世界,首先该反思的不是行为表面,而是提醒自己对未知的谦逊。因为我们对于真正的“神”或“真理”一无所知,甚至连这个“神”是否存在、是否仅仅是人类自身想象的产物都无法确定。
也许,世上真正的终极之战并非光明与黑暗在外部的争斗,而是人类内心的挣扎。如果我们能承认自己的无知,真正谦卑,世上许多纷争将不复存在。信仰“神”与盲从那些自称来自神的教条并不相同。既然祂是万物的根源,我们又何必执着于是否能直接或间接地“听到”祂的声音?这样自我认知的缺失或许正是引发世界纷争的根源。正是由于对未知的恐惧与对自我身份的怀疑,许多人内心深处被不安所笼罩,从而愈加执着于信仰、标签与对立。
在这样的视角中,真正的战争在于我们能否在内心深处发现“光明”与“黑暗”的真相,而非依赖外部的概念或敌人。如此,人类可以放下标签,不再执着于二元对立的“善”与“恶”。这也意味着面对他人时,不要急于争论,学会倾听,重复对方的观点后再思考自身的回应。也许通过对立者的反映,我们能进一步认识自己内心的黑暗与光明,而正是这种“内在的平衡”,才是通向真正和平的唯一途径。
在这个信息时代,人们对彼此的印象往往源于各种标签:“保守派”“进步派”“乐观主义者”“悲观主义者”……这些标签不仅在定义我们,还在划分我们。但如果停下来想一想,标签真的能代表一个人的完整样貌吗?还是说,我们的焦虑和迷茫促使我们贴标签,藉此归类和控制世界,让一切看起来井井有条?
在现实中,我们会发现,每个人的内心深处都有一场终极之战。这场战斗并不在外部,而是关于我们内心的信念和焦虑,关于希望与怀疑。这场看不见的战争,才是决定我们内外关系的真正力量。
内心的终极之战
无论是谁,内心都会有对未来的渴望与担忧,想要成功却害怕失败,想要被认可却害怕被否定。这种种矛盾,最终都会交汇在我们内心的战场上。我们常常在不自觉中成为自己最大的敌人,因为我们无法接受自己的不确定性,不愿面对自己的脆弱。这些情绪一旦被激化,就会驱使我们寻找某种安慰或归属。而标签恰恰提供了一种简单而直接的归属感,使人获得一种虚假的安全。
标签似乎帮我们把人群分成“我方”和“他方”,划出一条清晰的战线。然而,这种二分思维只会让内心的焦虑愈加激烈。因为我们始终会意识到,这些标签并不能真正描述自己或他人,它只是我们为了安抚自己内心的恐惧所构筑的幻象。
攀援标签与阵营分裂
当我们给自己贴上某种标签后,就会开始以此标签来定义自己和他人。更严重的是,标签会让我们陷入某种思维模式,即我们开始依赖外界的认同,甚至为了保持这种认同而排斥、攻击那些不同观点的人。久而久之,标签变成了偏见,偏见发展成对立,而对立最终演变成不共戴天的阵营之争。
试想一下,几乎所有社会中的对立与冲突,都源自于这样的标签和阵营分裂。我们不再用心去理解彼此的真实意图,而是迅速将对方归类为某种标签下的敌人。久而久之,人与人之间的距离越来越大,冲突的成本越来越高。为了维护自己的标签,人们甚至不惜牺牲道德和真理。这种情况如果持续下去,将可能成为人类文明发展的巨大障碍,甚至是一场浩劫。
回归内心的真实
与其向外攀援,不如将目光转向自己的内心。我们需要直面内心的不安和疑惑,真正承认自己内心的渴望与恐惧。这是一种自我接纳的过程,唯有承认自己不完美,承认自己的不确定性,才能在内心找到安宁。
一旦我们有了内在的安定感,外界的标签和评价就不再那么重要。因为这时我们已经拥有了自己的信念,而这种信念是独立于外界影响的。我们不再依赖标签来寻找自我认同,自然也不会因为标签而产生对立与冲突。
真正的终极之战在内不在外
人类文明的发展并不依赖于外部的对抗和阵营,而是在于每个人内心的安定与信念的建立。如果每个人都能在内心找到自己的力量和信仰,那么外部的纷争自然会逐渐平息。这并不意味着我们不会有不同意见,而是说在表达不同意见时,我们不再需要贴标签和划分阵营。
标签的存在从来没有错,但如果我们被标签束缚,那才是问题的根源。真正的成长是接受自己内心的战斗,找到属于自己的答案,而不是从外部寻求认同和归属。当我们每个人都能在内心找到平静与信念,人类文明将迎来真正的繁荣。
结语
我们需要意识到,真正的敌人不是那些被贴上不同标签的人,而是我们内心的恐惧和疑虑。这场终极之战并非外部的斗争,而是每个人在自己心中所经历的信念与焦虑、希望与怀疑的对抗。只有当我们战胜了内心的纷争,不再执着于标签和阵营,我们才能走向一个更加包容与和谐的未来。

还可以。请再融入下列观点。Most people look forward to world world war 3 unconsciously.
This is because they have been educated in a different (but practically identical) system of war preparation, where fighting for resources is unquestionable.
For example, hardly anyone questions the logic in "The Avengers' Infinite War" or "The Three Bodies", even though they have been taught the law of conservation of energy separately in school.
War is not that great at all.
In order to adapt to the various war machines and try to be part of them, people are losing the ability to remain independent (especially to think independently) and their talents are diminishing generation after generation. War does not make us better.
The environment chooses the people who suit them. It is the weak (the simple-minded) who are suited to their environment (to be part of the war machine).
One would think they could use a war to settle the ultimate choice between faiths. (At first it seemed like other issues, such as "who deserve all sorts of resources")
If the law of conservation of energy is correct.
No energy gets consumed, it just keeps shifting or transferring between different forms.
So, much science fiction is wrong.
The speed (kinetic energy) of anything (such as a spacecraft) cannot be escalated infinitely.
That's why the speed of light seems to be the same for all.
In a way, we can say that life is also a form of energy.
Therefore, there is a limit to the number of any species.
There is no need for any war to reduce the population for fearing that there will not be enough energy to consume.
The Western push for individuality was an illusion and the reality was that the family could not be regulated into a screw or a brick to the detriment of industrialisation.
In the film Shawshank, there is a word called "institutionalisation".
People are divided into different prisons of the mind.
Not only are they used to the wall, but they have become a brick in it, they even like it so much that they are willing to sacrifice everything for a word like "glory" (or ironically, "freedom").
We, Homo sapiens, have used ideas/concepts to organise various war machines and exterminate many species. Maybe we deserve to use it killing each other. (Cf. Homo sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind).
But it is a shame to leave a marvellous universe without anyone to appreciate it. (Allow me to assume that aliens would make the same mistake as we do).
If people keep ignoring their inner loss of themselves and unconsciously clinging to various images (e.g. the body) or concepts (e.g. the Holy Name), World War III and the end of the world is inevitable, and it may have already begun in Europe in the conflict near the borders of Catholicism and Orthodoxy.
Any world will eventually be ended. This does not matter. For, life is an energy which will be recycled, which means that after the death of a life or an entire world there will be a new world.
But it is a shame that a beautiful world like Earth is being ended in a war of names/concepts. What can we do to prepare for it? We should do our best to stop it.
Be aware of all kinds of slogans.
If we are facing the end of the world.
Then it is not a catastrophe from outside, but from the "trap of self-knowledge" and the "trap of modernisation"/"trap of standardisation of extreme development (war machine)".
The trap of self-consciousness is, simply put, that having an "I" obscures the true self (losing oneself) and that one inevitably becomes anxious, nervous and distressed to the point of insanity, often resorting to conceptualised nomenclature.
The so-called "modernisation trap" is that the war machine, which has existed since ancient times, has been given an extreme boost by the application of mathematics in the standardisation of parts and components, and that the so-called nomenclature wars or battles have become increasingly intense and have approached the "singularity" due to the propaganda and ideological struggles of the respective unifying ideas.
Modern finance is based on credit (trust in one's own system or government), so these wars of ideas are extremely important.
Money can generate money and it is not necessarily the elite. The one who born with power is not the smartest either.
The 1% is not necessarily capable of conspiracy, but it is easy to reach a tacit agreement.
10% often mistake themselves as 1%.
Be aware of the various slogans, including "freedom first" "my country first" "me first" "xxx(whatever it is ) first" "weeds rock the world" "we deserve it, let it end".
Why do we have to follow any of them or any other supposed prophecy?
Sorry for disturbing. (Neither side is free, they both blocked my statement.
(We are just bricks on different walls, when in fact the walls are the same).
Eve did not lie, there was a serpent, which is an allegory that talks about a sense of continuity such as time or memory. Without such feelings, there are no conditions for the formation of self-awareness or self-knowledge.
Humans are the most complex animals on the planet. If your body is too simple to perceive your environment clearly, you will find it difficult to perceive the movement and change of everything in front of you.
Without sensing moving or changing images, it is difficult to form the concept or idea of a mirror/screen/stage/platform (self-awareness or self-knowledge), which is often referred to as the ego.
The opposition of what can be and what is, the opposition of mirror image, the opposition of I and non-I, is called objectified thinking,which is growing up with self-knowledge,
both of which end up trapping us into a dilemma. Either be a miserable sensitive person or a happy ignorant beast.
The reflection of light takes time.
So we can never see us in the mirror as we are now, all we see is history. You have changed.
If the change is so rapid and you are so sensitive that you suddenly find a face in the mirror that seems to be a stranger whose facial expression does not match your current emotions, you too may go crazy.
Somehow we all lose ourselves.
Clinging to any attachment (including concepts) such as the body, mind, thoughtless states, spiritual experiences, the Tao, God, Śūnyatā, etc., ........ that can never satisfy our desire to find the true Self or the real us. For they are all like images in a mirror, television set or other stage or platform. What we really desire is the 'mirror' and not 'any image', so how can we be satisfied?
You don't have to do anything but realise that the real you or the true self is there all the time.
It's like you're looking for a horse on the back of a horse. Once you realise that you have been riding it from the beginning (or before the beginning) you will immediately stop looking.
Water does not know that she is water, and darkness does not know that he is darkness. When a man is seeking the light, he is blinded by dreams of various lights.
Most serious or intense busy people are dreaming, while the awakened are at peace because they are comfortable with the darkness that does not know the ultimate truth.
What we need to do is to have faith in ourselves (our unknown true selves), whatever it is, it is always there.
Yet within every yang is always a yin, and every belief/hope is based on doubt/fear.
If you are already 100% sure of something, there is no need of a belief.
So the real ultimate war between light and darkness is within us, not outside.
The creator (author) could be a monkey who is typing at random. We just happen to be living in a readable novel in which logic seems to be at work, but not really, and it is the monkey who creates all the illusions that is really at work.
It doesn't matter who the author is. (It is the eternal ultimate question and secret, hidden not only behind all that we sense, but also by all the concepts we imagine, including the Tao, God and emptiness.
One might think that the creator (the author) is so important that all meaning depends on him. But is the meaning of an author complete if he has no readers, especially the author of a detective novel? You might even ask: does he really have any meaning, no matter how big he is, how long he lives, or how great he is in any way?
I asked my son the other day, when he was a little boy, "Is the sky blue?" ." No, at night it's black." He's clever." If there was a superman whose eyes could and always did see infrared or ultraviolet light, would the sky be blue or black for him?" Without the eyes of life, colour means nothing to the sky.
Why should we doubt the meaning of life, why should we not doubt the meaning of the universe, or even the meaning of the creator. No matter how small we may be, no matter how short our lives may be.
Lao Tzu: The sky/heaven and the earth (representing the Mother who created all things) are without mercy.
In order to fulfill the author's meaning, the reader must be ignorant.
A truth-teller (the fortune-teller who is always right) would be a spoiler who ruin everything.
Ignorance of our true nature is the source of our stress, anxiety, misery and suffering. Is it worth it? Depends on how much beauty, joy, love you can find in your life (sometimes just a simple blue sky can move you). If very little, you may deeply question why you were created.
See you. When there is no war in the news, I stop.
What was Adam's original sin?
It is good to see some of you using the Bible as a kind of allegory. However, I don't think this sin is about honesty or lies.
Self-consciousness, self-knowledge, is itself the source of sin, which is why it is called original sin.
Eve did not lie, there was a serpent, which is an allegory that talks about a sense of continuity such as time or memory. Without such feelings, there are no conditions for the formation of self-awareness or self-knowledge.
Humans are the most complex animals on the planet. If your body is too simple to perceive your environment clearly, you will find it difficult to perceive the movement and change of everything in front of you.
Without sensing moving or changing images, it is difficult to form the concept or idea of a mirror/screen/stage/platform (self-awareness or self-knowledge), which is often referred to as the ego.
I hope I have made this clear enough for you to understand.
If not, please refer to my other answers.
By the way, there is no need to confess to anyone other than yourself. If you can't forgive yourself, how can you forgive others.
And that despite everyone who is self-conscious or self-aware is selfish and has sinned, without us, there is no meaning of God, or at least any meaning of God must be done by us.
Please refer to my other reply. Min John Zhou's answer to "Why we were created (a Buddhist perspective)".
Why were we created (the Buddhist view)?
I don't think a Buddhist would think he was created. (I am not a Buddhist, by the way).
He might think he is a castle built on Lego bricks, or some forest based on woods.
And he may refer to the Lego factory or the seeds of the woods as a kind of emptiness or nothingness.
If so, this means that they (the Buddhists) are assuming a closed room, a hermetically sealed space. All detectives should be looking for the murderer within its confines.
By the way, some scientists (if not all) are doing the same thing. Otherwise, all their logic could be an ineffective effort at any time, because it could be undermined by some external factor anywhere.
People love Sherlock Holmes and admire his ability to be logical.
And we are justified in not liking chaos. Without a stable environment, such as a sealed room, which serves as a better weapon than our arms and hands, our logic seems weak. It is like a small boat in a rough sea. Although this boat is so stable, as in the logic that 1+1 always = 2, how can we expect it to be able to handle the chaos of the ocean?
But there is always a different voice.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: It is superstition to believe in causality.
(It is possible that 1=1 is an illusion and that 1+1 leads to 2 is also an illusion that we believe in as fact or truth, just as we do with other superstitions.)
To me, this means that the creator (author) could be a randomly typing monkey. We just happen to live in a readable novel in which logic seems to be at work but not really, and it is the monkey who creates all the illusions that is really at work. There are other unreadable books, possibly infinite, including some novels in which there is a different logic to ours, which must be absurd to us. If we happen to get into them, we might deny all the strange things we encounter in order to defend our own logic.
It doesn't matter who the author is. (It is the eternal ultimate puzzle and secret, hidden not only behind everything we sense, but also by all the concepts we imagine, including "Tao", God, nothingness.) Let it be. Whether it is a monkey, some kind of chaos, nothingness, or something more ridiculous, anyone is the same to us.
One might think that the creator (the author) is so important that all meaning depends on him. But is the meaning of an author complete if he has no readers, especially the author of a detective novel?

Ignorance of our true nature is the source of our stress, anxiety, suffering and pain.
(Refer to my other answer Min John Zhou's answer to What is causing Dhukka?)
Is it worth it? Depends on how much beauty, joy, love you can find in your life (sometimes just a simple blue sky can move you).
If very little, you may wonder deeply why you were created.
What led to Dhukka?
As far as I know, many Buddhists (I am not a Buddhist, by the way.) believe that what causes Dukkha (pain, suffering, stress, anxiety ......) is our desire to cling to various attachments.
This seems better than blaming the world or life.
As Lao Tzu once said, our real enemy is ourselves.
We should not blame what we are attached or attached to; we should scrutinise the suspects who may be committing such attachments , namely ourselves.
But as Mao Tse-tung once said, there must be some reason behind all hatred or love. Is it possible that we are blaming ourselves too much?
Although according to Ludwig Wittgenstein it's superstition to believe in causality.
But if you have this belief that there must be a reason behind everything.
Then why do we have this obsessive desire to do so.
There is a parable in the Bible.
A madman passed a mirror as he walked.
For some reason he thought that the image in the mirror was of another person.
He admired the person's beautiful face and head very much.
Suddenly he panics, for if this head belongs to another person, where is his own head?
Where was his own head? Why could he not see his own head?
So, from then on, this madman ran around looking for his own head, but he could not find it.
Is this just a crazy person without a reason?
Is it absolutely ourselves that we see in the mirror?
You know it takes time for light to reflect.
That's why we can never see us in the mirror as we are now; all we see is history.
You have changed. If changes are so fast and you are so sensitive.
You suddenly realise that the face in the mirror seems to be that of a stranger whose facial expression doesn't match your current mood, and you too may go crazy.
Somehow (probably because of the self-knowledge), we all lose ourselves.
Clinging to any obsessions such as the body, mind, thoughtless states, spiritual experiences, the Tao, God, Śūnyatā and other concepts, ........
can never satisfy our desire to find our true self or the real us.
For they are all like images in a mirror, television set or other stage or platform. How can we be satisfied when what we really desire is 'the mirror' and not 'any image'?
This dissatisfaction leads us to try even harder to cling or attach.
And this dissatisfaction or this desire itself implies anxiety or stress and can be called 'Dukkha'.
"Images" are constantly changing and the fact that we have gained them at one time means that we can lose them at any time.
We can never see the 'mirror or the stage' or feel it in some way so that we can be sure we have found it. (It is always the one ultimate secret hidden behind all that we feel and all the concepts we imagine).
Let us suppose that the madman in the parable had no hands and that he could never touch his head to be sure that it was there all along.
If that were the case, how could he stop his madness?
Śūraṅgama Sūtra tells us that once we can stop this madness, we will get the peace we want, which is called Bodhi.
It seems easy because you don't have to do anything, just realise that the real you or the true self is there all the time.
It is like when you are looking for a horse on horseback. Once you realise that you have been riding it from the beginning (or before the beginning), you will immediately stop looking.
(According to Da Jian Huineng, this sudden realisation is the ultimate path and the only path to awakening or enlightenment or eventual liberation called Nirvana.)
But if this enlightenment was really that easy, you would all know it already, so why should I bother typing so much.
All we need to do is to have faith in ourselves (our unknown true self), whatever it is, it is always there.
However, within every yang is always a yin, and every belief/hope is based on doubt/fear.
If you are already 100% sure of something, there is no need to believe.
So the real ultimate war between light and darkness is within us, not outside.
