III. The Substantial Secret of the Substance of Soul of Human Being: the Theory of Noumenon of Man.

 III. The Substantial Secret of the Substance

of Soul of Human Being:

the Theory of Noumenon of Man.

 

1. The Structure and Function of the Substance of Soul:

the Secret of the Four Substances of Soul.

 

 

Human being is composed of four substances of soul and a physical body. The physical body is composed of four great elements: earth, water, fire, and wind. The substance of soul is the essence of life which has a form similar to the energy of electromagnetic wave and has consciousness and memory.

The substance of soul is overlapped in four by something like a sticky screen in the form of staircase. It is composed of super corpuscle smaller than elementary particle with double function of particle and wave. If we see it from the point of wave, the substance of soul is the essence of life that has very short wave. In other words, it is the substance of life that has the form of energy of electronic wave with great many vibrations.

If we divide the four substances of soul of human being into 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the level of their quality and characteristic, No. 1 substance of soul is highest in its quality, and from No. 1 substance of soul down to No. 4, their quality drops down accordingly. No. 4 substance of soul is 100% similar to our body.

The substances of soul No. 1, 2, and 3 have a little different features but their roots are almost the same. The substances of soul No. 1, 2, and 3 always move around in group, and a notable truth is that they are everlasting and never die.

The substance of soul has many functions, such as activities of life and storing the kama. The substance of soul No. 4 is the copy of our physical body, and has a function of connecting the other three substances of soul. With the physical body, it functions as the origin of preservation of life, chiefly in the realm of emotion and desire.

However, this substance of soul No. 4 is the substance of life born in the womb of the mother and its life is limited, not everlasting like substances of soul No. 1, 2, and 3. When it enters into the nether world, it drops out.

The substance of soul No. 3 assumes mainly the function of emotion. On the other hand, the substance of soul No. 2 assumes mainly the intellectual functions, such as analysis, reasoning, memory, etc. The substance of soul No. 1 is the subsistence of light entirely beyond the particle, and assumes mainly the functions of reason and wisdom. Among these four substances of soul, the substance of soul No. 1 is the essence of man, that is, the noumenon or the intrinsic nature of man.

 

 

2. The Substance of Soul Is the Noumenon of Human Being

and the Nucleus of the Law

of Causality and Transmigration.

 

 

The substance of soul as the nucleus of human being becomes not only the main body of transmigration but at the same time the nucleus of karmic actions, and our good and evil actions will be reflected in the substance of soul and receive retributions accordingly.

Our karmic actions thus recorded in the substance of soul can be called the score sheet of our life. Unless we are released from transmigration, we are all destined to go to the eternal cycle of six realms of either hell, hungry ghost, animals, human, asura, or heaven according to the score sheet of our life. This is called the transmigration of the six realms of karmic existence.

The substance of soul is the nucleus of the recipient of retribution and must be the main constituent of transmigration in the six realms of karmic existence. However, by misinterpretation of 'non-self (無我)', the established Buddhism denies the substance of soul, and argues that the mind and perceptions are the nucleuses of transmigration.

They also argue that there is no need of the nucleus of transmigration claiming the theories of the inheritance of karma or five aggregates. It is truly a deplorable fact which is in fact the grand obscenities that defames Buddhism.

There cannot be transmigration without 'self', and including the storehouse of consciousness, the mind and perceptions can never be the nucleus of transmigration. Transmigration without 'self' is against the law of cause and effect that the person who committed karma must receive its retribution.

According to the law of cause and effect, there must be the nucleus of karmic action and the nucleus of the recipient of the retribution, and its logic is that the two nucleuses must be the same. Another true fact is that without six roots, or six sense organs, consciousness is neither able to store the karma nor become an independent entity.

How the consciousness without a body, and the consciousness that rise and fall every instant go to hell, to heaven, and attain enlightenment? Even little children will laugh at it.

If you deny the substance of soul which is the noumenon or intrinsic nature of ourselves on the ground of the misinterpretation of 'non-self', you will lose the logic of karma, transmigration, and enlightenment. You will also lose the ground for the subsistence of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Not only that, there will be no ground for the Buddhism to stand.

In conclusion, we can say that the substance of our soul is the fellow traveller of the sentient beings in hell and the Buddha as well as the master and noumenon of human being.

 

 

3. The Immaculate Path and the Path of Separation

of the Substance of Soul

and the World Each Substance of Soul Go.

 

 

The sentient being's substance of soul is greatly defiled. It is like something just picked out from the container of filth. It is dirty and smells bad. It also looks like the charcoal soot. Let's see what is the color of the substance of soul that goes to each realm.

The color of the substance of soul that goes to the three evil ways, hell, hungry ghosts, and animals, is black. The color of the substance of soul that goes to the heavenly realm (54 stages of the 1st to the sixth heaven) is white, but the color of the substance of soul that goes to the six heavens of desire is grey. The substance of soul that goes to the heavenly realm of arhat (27 stages of the 1st to the 3rd heaven) emanates light. The substance of soul of the arhat which is released of transmigration emanates light just like the full moon.

 

The next is the path of separation and the realm where the substance of soul goes. The substances of the most sentient beings are completely stuck together, but the purer the substance of soul, the feature of the soul reveals more clearly and separates from each other more distinctly. The substances of soul of the heavenly beings in the heavenly realm are all stuck together, but their shapes reveal like five fingers.

The substances of soul of the arhat released of transmigration are separated as the shape of the hand of a duck. However, the substances of soul of the Pure Land Bodhisattva are completely separated. In the case of Buddha, the four substances of soul act freely as separate entities.

 

The next is to see the realm to which each substance of soul goes. The dead spirit that is not allowed to enter the nether world goes to the intermediate state of the dead spirit between heaven and hell in the form of the substance of soul No. 4.

The substance of soul No. 3 (including the inner part of the substance of soul No. 4) goes to hell. The substance of soul No. 3 goes to the heavenly realm, but the substance of soul No. 2 goes to the heavenly realm of arhat.

The substance of soul No. 1 goes to the heavenly realm of ultimate bliss. The rest of the substance of souls are overlapped in the each substance of soul. In order to go to the ultimate realm of Buddha, all the four substances of soul must be a ball of light, yet the four substances of soul are able to act separately, and each substance of soul is also able to manage tremendous power.
