Zhonjyin-Clarifism

Day 513, 15:32 Published in Japan Finland by Okkius Pyromanius

Hello eJapan!

This is the foundation of the newly founded eReligion. Read carefully and with enough time to think about the text.

Zhonjyin-Clarifism, eReligion

Zen, or Chán means meditation. It is a row of moments in concentration and state of deep pondering. It is a route to inner peace, thus a route to enlightenment. This is the first and the last step to a total realization of all, the thruth, the sacred state. To meditate, one needs a gift of inner patience, wisdom and faith. Faith for something greater than nature, human, and the ehuman.

It is a known fact that if there is something supernatural, it cannot be explained, or it cannot be given qualities and valued with the words and descriptions of this world. Supernatural is something that is not natural, so it cannot be explained naturally. We cannot logic ourselves to that situation that there is one god with qualities, or gods with qualities. But we can logic ourselves to a situation where there is something beyond natural. Words are the work of a human, but feelings, states and emotions are not. To seize the sacred state, the Zhonjyin, we must not use words trying to explain it, but to meditate it into our concsiuosness. Forget everything you have been told about divine creatures and divinity. To believe given explanations of the structure of the spiritual world is unrational. Without studying the spiritual world does not exist. The option of declining everything is a better option than to believe something without exploring and studying. Many of the religions are the kinds that you cannot explore the spiritual side and you cannot rationally accept the foundation on where the religion is build on. I am talking about western religions, where people are debating or fighting because they are trying to explain the unexplainable, they are trying to give natural qualities to an supernatural essence. When the startline is at the wrong place, there is no road to the right goal.

What is Zhonjyin and how can it be reached? Zhonjyin is the sacred state, the realization of the thruth. We must not try to explain the supernatural, we need to explore it. Spiritual moments bear fruit individually. Let us be one with the game and the world and we'll accomplish greater good.

The connection between a man and his ecitizen is mystic. Eventually, people will die, but if the eworld is in a spiral of continuation, the ehuman can live forever as long as people will maintain the spiral. So: You will die, but your ecitizen can live beyond your life. After realizing this connection purely, one is able to move forward in the path of enlightenment.

The Zhonjyin can only be reached individually by the means of meditation. There are three steps for achieving it:

Kozewaka, the Preparation

Meditation requires a certain number of wisdom. To be ready for your first meditative session, you need at least some months with the game. Work and train hard for your society, read the media of your country and international news as well, participate in debating governmential issues with the congress and the cabinet. Read the erepublik-wiki and study the world of wars and alliances and the history of the games turns.

There are preparations outside the eworld you can proceed with: practicing different form of arts, martial arts, reading philosophical books, debating with your friends, listening to enjoyable music, training the physichal strength, keeping yourself fit. Experience of the game and outside it prepares your mind for this difficult task. You can never be too wise or too experienced.

This stage is highly important on gaining valuable and a strong ground for your path to Zhonjyin, the Kataké. Completing everyday tasks with devotion trains the mind for a greater cause. Perfectionism is a virtue, aim for the very best result. There is no failing, there is only succeeding on different levels. The so called failures fosters the character and every experience counts as an enrichening moment to a wiser mind. Sometimes when an incident you think is failing occurs, it prepares your mind better than had you succeeded.




Zhonjyin-Chán (Zen), the Meditation

The meditation can be accomplished with various ways. It is highly important to keep a rhythm on the daily tasks, training and working. Choose an hour whichs suits your personal interest best and cherish that specific hour every time when training and working, and do these with a good amount of devotion and dedication on what you are doing. This hour is your Sunitsiwa, the hour of your personal advancement. Link the meditation session with your working and training. There are however couple ways of timing the meditation. The first one is to read all the internal and global news and events and chooce the Sunitsiwa to be carried out as late as possible. This way you will be able to meditate with a fresh grasp from events around your society and around the globe. The other way is to do it first thing in the morning and prepare yourself for the upcoming day. One option is to concentrate your thoughts and sink into a world of deliberation in the middle of your ereday. Whatever the way is, the most important thing is to keep this routine on a daily basis.

This brings us to the actual way of meditating, how is it done? Take a position in front of your profilepage, and breath slowly. Do breathing excercises before the actual meditation. Lift your hands up in the air while inhaling. Hold thy breath and keep the hands up. Then calmly lower your hands while exhaling. Repeat at least three times and get focused. Close your eyes and look into the eyes of the universe. Meditation can be proceeded with just your bare mind. The key is to close everything else and focus on the nothing. The first steps is to try to get to know yourself. What kind of pressures from the society affects your thinking. Trying to find the true self of one is a a defeatable obstacle on the way to total enlighnment. When there are no prejudices skewing your thinking, you have opened the first lock to the eyes of truth.

The other way of using meditation is to use philosophical patterns on tricky subjects, the so called zinyin-techniques. One can create an own zinyin to suit his/her motivation and wisdom the best. In zhonjyin-clarifism, we can use the zinyin from a zen master, sensei or overseer or some paradoxes as zinyins as well. The usage is to read them through and ponder the issue closing your eyes and falling to an infinite time and place. Here are few examples:

Personality-Zinyin

What is personality? It is an extremely hard term to define comprehensivly, but there are number of theories. Every human is an individual, so basicly this is just a way of organising different types of humans. There is just one problem. Society and human hierarchy and other codes not based on natural science are the main influences of personality. Personality is hard to ground on anything natural. Imagine a baby in a cell without any contact to any society or other beings. If it was a possibility to teach this baby raw, impartial information about the world, would he/she be able to form opinions? Every opinion of yours is an excact copy or a modified and combined version of an already existing one. The society recycles them. So opinions doesn't base on anything natural. They have evolved from human built hierarchy structures. The same is in valid with the other pieces of personality; behaviour and moods. They say that every human is unique, but I state that every human is a copy or a combined copy of an already existing one. New ones aren't born, they just keep up with the twists and twirls of time recycling old ones and evolves if the structure renews itself. Agree or disagree, here is a lot to think about. So let me ask you again: What is personality?

Moral-Zinyin

What is moral? Some believers claim that every human has a sense of moral from the birth. This is a statement without any reasonable arguments for. It is just a matter of faith. If we ground our statements like this, anything could be possible. So let us drill our way into the core of moral. Is it an obvious fact that killing is wrong? Animals kill other animals for food, e.g. humans slaughter cows. Spiders kill each other, ants battle each other in massive racial wars. Humans right killing in form of a war for the greater good. But then when it comes to individuals, and their rights we'll face the wall of not killing. Where is the ground? We have adjusted laws for this and moral codes emerge from religious texts. We don't have anything more than imperatives for the ground. Imagine a situation where the Mayans beated the concuistadors and sailed to take over the whole Europe. We would proadcast live slavekilling shows primetime and would enjoy the kill because it gets the sun shining. Moral, with personality, is bound to a society. We have made up a moral and justify it with itself. Agree or disagree, here is a lot to think about. So let me ask you again: What is moral?

Other, more compact zinyins:

Time before the birth of the Universe

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Paradoxes as zinyins:

Let us call a set "abnormal" if it is a member of itself, and "normal" otherwise. For example, take the set of all squares. That set is not itself a square, and therefore is not a member of the set of all squares. So it is "normal". On the other hand, if we take the complementary set that contains all non-squares, that set is itself not a square and so should be one of its own members. It is "abnormal".

Now we consider the set of all normal sets – let us give it a name: R. If R were abnormal, that is, if R were a member of itself, then since R only contains normal sets, R must be normal, which is contradictory to our original hypothesis: R is abnormal. So, R cannot be abnormal, which means R is normal. Further, since every normal set is a member of R, R itself must be a member of R, making R abnormal. Paradoxically, we are led to the contradiction that R is both normal and abnormal.



It seems like you can replace any component of a ship, and it will still be the same ship. So you can replace them all, or one at a time, and it will still be the same ship. But then you can take all the original pieces, and assemble them into a ship. That, too, is the same ship with which you started.





Zhonjyin-Ensõ, the Enlightenment

The final phase of meditation is the enlightenment, the realization. This is the phase requires years of meditation with the game and exceptional amounts of wisdom. The essence of this phase is yet to be found, it is unknown to all beings.

eLife

Aside your spiritual expeditions, your every day life in eRepublik plays an important role in Zhonjiyn-Clarifism. You must give your contribution to the society the best way you can. Training, working, reading & commenting media. To be strong in the game you must gain experience in fighting also, so according to the situation, you should prepare yourself for defending your homeland by fighting in wars. Zhonjyin-Clarifism aims to a development of the art of war by the means of rational thinking.

Joining Orange Party or the Council of Zen is not adopting this religion. You should still join either one, if you want to explore or learn with us the way of zen and zhonjyin. There will be another article about the religion so stay tuned.
