Who are the pure religious? Do you think that they are in charge of high ranks
or important positions in certain religion? Maybe some of them are so but others
are not so much matched with the formal ranks in religious body.
If you want to know whether some one in a religion is so really religious,
you had better observe how the one takes care of one's body. Why I
say so? Becuase the body is a divine being as well as the spirit.
You may have heard that the spirit is holy but the body is secular.
I do not agree to this sentence but I do not explain the reason why
I do not do because it is very long and requires deep thinking way
to understand the concept of God.
Anyway, do you think who did create the human body that carries our
spirit and affects our spiritual evolution?
Your parents?
Never! your parents are one of instruments to incarnate your spirit through
your body. The real creator is the God ( or Nature, Tao, Buddah and so on).
The God who knows about your spirit very well and what your spirit will
experience in real world with your body. So the God lets your spirit meet
your body in order to perform your spiritual evolution. If you want to be a
good singer in this life, the God should prepare your body that has good
voice organs.
In other example, if you want to go distant place as soon as possible, you
have to use car or other fast carriers. So you have to keep the car in good
condition. As so, you have to take care of your body naturally.
By the way, the more is science developed, the more is human being's purpose
lost. Many people are confused in the concept of science. They think cultural
instruments as cars, machines and so on as science. They are not science but
the result of scientific activities. The science means the reasonable
thinking system.
In reality reasonable thinkng is very diverse. In the medical field, the reasonable
thinking should be judged in consideration of circumstances. This means
that the mind and the body can not be seperated. They are the face and
back of a coin.
In my school days, my teacher told us that the reason of the glands penis of
David's statue being covered with skin is the religious consideration of
Michelangelo. Accoding to my teacher's theory, small and covered penis is
good but a big and uncovered penis is sinful.
I had believed this theory till I found it in the anatomy book. In the book, penis
gands is covered with skin. That is a picture of real appearance.
(Please refer to Atlas Anatomy plate 251)
The interpretation of David statue is only my teacher's own. Mr. Michelangelo
would not conceal the real appearance of penis. His main purpose of drawing
I think was to awaken people to see the real world and so his david shows his
real penis.
My teacher had two wrong views for David statue. The one is his confucious
interpretation that the secret of adult should be concealed or sympbolized not
to be seen in the eyes of school boys. The other is that the adult penis gland
should be uncovered. Due to the latter belief, nowadays it is general that
Korean people have their boys get circumcision at the time of birth. So the rate
of circumcision is higher than that of Israeli people. How ridiculous this is!
Further funny thing is that most of Korean people who are christian think
circumcision is a scientific and will bring them good sexual energy.
You can guess how surprised I was at that time of anatomy book. According
to that book, it is general that gland penis is covered with skin to the European
and other peoples.
I wonder why Korean christians are fond of surgical manupulation of their
body, which might be sin against the God's will.
What I want to say is that the truths we( especially Koreans) have been
educated might not be truths at all. As far as health is concerned, the natrual
recovery or natural treatment is the best way. So if one has pure religious
mind, one will not get surgery till one understand the meaning of the God's
will excepting for the emergent accidents.
The God sends holy signs to human beings when the body gets inconveniences,
so a pure religious can know them early and correct them with natural ways.
The herbal medication is the most natural treatment in the view of life lasting.
If the religious resort to surgical treatments for chronic diseases, they must
be unaware of the truth in their religion. I mean they never be religious!
