5.3.8 The Nazirites, the adult model of the Jews who "brought shame upon themselves."

author:Yizhou learns

Through the analysis of the Nazirites' "four distinctions of voluntary giving", it can be seen that within the hierarchical social value system, the ancestors of the Jews had achieved the ultimate in enhancing the racial character of the Jews and the steadfastness and unity of the people, and made ascetic and extreme sacrifices in terms of selfish desires, private enjoyment, private honor, and private feelings.

In particular, the "absolute loyalty" they pursued and worked to shape was not loyalty to prophets, judges, priests, monarchs, and individuals and their families, no matter how much wealth, fame, deeds, or greatness, but only to JHWH, the one "My Lord," and His promised future and divine heartfelt faith.

This will lead the whole race to aspire to the sublime, fraternity and eternity, and prompt the Jews from generation to generation to abandon the vanity and glitz, cross the watershed of the hierarchy of value needs, and rush to the higher level of emotion, beauty, admiration and love, and over time achieve great achievements in the creation of values such as music, law, art, science, morality, philosophy, etc., and even transcend their racial requirements, and devote their achievements to the development of other races, nations, human societies and world civilizations.

Today, it can be seen that the Reformed wing of Judaism makes up the largest proportion of Jews in North America, at about 42 percent. They defined Judaism as an ethical monotheistic religion in which science and reason coexist in complete harmony, and pursued the universalism of peace, justice, and harmony among all peoples throughout the world. Such a reform that keeps pace with the times once again demonstrates the advanced superiority of the Jews in terms of mental experience and thinking, and also just supports the above thesis.

Specifically, to break down the differences in appearance, power, status, wealth, fame, etc., so that they will first converge in appearance, promote the unity and harmony of the congregation and tribesmen in terms of material enjoyment, values, senses, emotions, and aesthetics, and guide them to "allegiance" to JHWH (Yahvi) rather than to individuals and their families, and in the long run, in terms of governance, it will inevitably lead to democracy rather than autocracy.

The power, status, wealth, fame, etc., which people have, want to pass on to their children and grandchildren, which is the "sex" and "inheritance" needs of people, and the corresponding value orientation that pulls their value needs and the satisfaction of their needs at higher levels plays a leading role. In the hierarchical social value system, people who hold corresponding values and feelings, even if they think of the public and the great harmony in their hearts, and keep saying that they love the people, serve the country, and help the world, they can't jump out.

It is not that the Jewish priests and kings did not want to be hereditary, nor that they were not as far-sighted as the Han monarchs and sages, and their subjective efforts were insufficient, but that "my lord" rejected the hereditary system of kings from the beginning. The Hebrew Bible says: "The king's heart is in the hands of JHWH (Jahvi) like the waters of a ditch flowing freely." This means that the king is only a secular instrument of "my lord" to rule over the people, and can be abolished by the high priest—the king of the Jews is elected by the tribe to be the desired and able, and then "anointed (authorizing the rites)" by the priest.

Since the priests sent down and acted on behalf of the gods, it was not easy for them to degrade their status, mingle with the world, get involved in secular affairs, and exercise royal power. However, the king held the real power in the military, intelligence, personnel, finance, taxation, public security, etc., and the priests could not settle at all by relying only on "My lord, my lord!" and they were easily attacked by the king's power. Thus, the theocracy and kingship of the Jews were divided from the time of Moses and Aaron. There are constant contradictions and struggles between the two powers.

Over time, as the Hebrew Bible grew in stature and influence, the separation of powers became more and more inertia in the minds and behaviors of the Jews. No matter how great the achievements and prestige of its kings are, it is difficult to plant the hereditary monarchy into the hearts of the people, nourish it until it is intertwined, flourishing, and irrevocable, and pass on its throne from generation to generation.

Saul was anointed by the prophet Samuel and founded the United Kingdom of Israel. But he later disrespected Samuel, repeatedly rebelled against God, and was jealous of his son-in-law David's high merits, and was praised and supported by the people, and repeatedly sent people to hunt him down. After he and his son Jonathan were punished by JHWH and both died in battle, David became king of Israel.

King David was born as a herding cow boy and worshiped "my lord" all his life. But in his old age, his son, King Solomon, was so poor and extravagant that he "worshipped foreign gods instead of JHWH." The prophet Ahijah was so dissatisfied with this that he directed Jeroboam to lead the ten tribes of northern Israel out of their dominion and to establish their own state—and then divide the north and the south of the kingdom. The kingdoms of Israel and Judah fell in just two or three hundred years.

King Saul and King Solomon's rebellion against God is inevitably related to the fact that the royal power is restrained by divine power and wants to pass on the throne to his son. The priesthood could only be inherited by Aaron's descendants, as "my lord" had promised! Moreover, there are huge loopholes in this kind of system, just like the bug of the hereditary monarchy, where the successor is not enough to rely on and the virtue is not worthy, the harm to the country, society, and race is bound to be huge.

After many setbacks, especially after the first founding and the fall of the state, Judaism held that "it is not enough for a priest to be born, ordained, or assigned" and that all willing Nazirites could enter through the "gate of the gates" and grow up to be priests. This is tantamount to putting an end to the hereditary priesthood in the name of "our lord".

The separation of church and state is not conducive to the construction of an absolute monarchy with centralized power and military expansion. The country is weak and the people are scarce, and they are in the land of four wars, which will become a fatal shortcoming for the country to be wiped out. Historical development and objective conditions have not given the Jews the opportunity and time to concoct the concept of "divine authority of kings", repair the political bugs of the country, boost their bodies, tools and organizations, and create a "great Judea".

Misfortune and misfortune have already occurred in history, and kings and priests are all elected by election, regardless of their origin, family background, or wealth, which is equivalent to throwing themselves into the dawn of democracy from the top down. Even if it is difficult for the lower class to enter the upper class, even if the scope of election opening is not large at the beginning, after denying the separation of powers between priests and kings and hereditary inheritance, it will inevitably develop over time, and it will inevitably move towards an increasingly popular political system of democratic elections - after thousands of years of hardship, the current state of Israel was established in the middle of the last century, although it is still embattled and wars are frequent, which can be regarded as a blessing for the Jews.

In contrast, some of the Han sages were far less thorough than their Jewish ancestors. Some of them advocate that harmony is precious, and they spare no effort to decorate the theory of divine authority of the monarch, which can be said to be for the country, the people, and the society, but they reveal that they cannot let go of the enjoyment of eating, drinking, drinking, listening to music, and dancing, and lingering on wealth, power, fame, and fortune.

It is no wonder, not to mention the influence of the integration of politics and religion and the hereditary monarchy before the Zhou Dynasty, since the time of Zhou Gongdan, the royal power has been committed to the four words of "divine authority of the monarchy", which is not only imprinted to the psychology of the subjects, but also implemented in the form of "rites" with the endorsement of heaven, in the name of "virtue", and in the form of "rites", the subjects see the gods and bow, see the king's mountain call, make offerings at festivals, weddings and funerals, bow their hands, and tend to retreat into the habit - the two complement each other and achieve great results.

After five or six hundred years of education and edification, the sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty all spoke and behaved in a dignified manner. Even if he is like a disciple of the Mo family, who is as harsh on himself as a Na Xi'er, who despises the powerful, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, who works hard and pragmatically, and who works hard for the people, he has never criticized the heavens and criticized the royal power, but hopes that the king will bow down to the people, unify the caliber and ideas according to his will, prevent the collapse of etiquette and music, and promote various standards that are beneficial to the common people, which is called "Shang Tong".

In contrast to the Nazirites' "four distinctions of voluntary offerings," the Jewish doctrine says to believers: You are all "zero" in the presence of JHWH—— and you give up all your possessions, 100% of your body and mind, and worship the glory of "my Lord", receive the oracle of "our Lord", receive the promise of "my Lord", and follow it while JHWH represents infinite: infinite power, infinite wisdom, infinite giving, infinite glory, infinite mercy, infinite greatness...... Thus, the life of the Jews started from scratch, with faith in their hearts, and went to infinity.

The sages of China said to their students and scholars: In front of "Heaven", the Son of Heaven is a son, and you are all grandsons. Recite the way of heaven, the principles of heaven, the rules of heaven, thank the power of heaven, the mercy of heaven, and the will of heaven, and struggle—— the thunder and rain can be seen, and the will of heaven is always difficult to ask. It is enough to bow down, to obey, to toil, and to pay tribute. It's just that no matter how much the Son of Heaven is literary and martial, expands the territory, warps and latitudes the world, and benefits the people's livelihood, compared with the infinity of "Heaven", it can be 100 at most - therefore, the life of the Han people, starting from Sun Tzu, holding the scriptures, looking up to the Son of Heaven, and competing to be Lao Tzu.

The two types of indoctrination models both attach importance to the impact of behavior on the psyche, through words and deeds, teaching, and supervision, to cultivate, transform, and shape people-Na Xi'er people serve absolutes and act extremely, and they let go of material desires and personal feelings, especially crushing glory, tearing off their bodies, returning themselves to zero, and bringing humiliation on themselves, which can prompt them to be in awe, humility, and respect others as equals and live in harmony with each other, no matter how much wealth they have, no matter how much wealth they have.

This will promote equality and friendliness, mutual assistance, and synergy among the Jews as a whole—and because of their infinite hearts and reverence, they will not easily sink into the dazzle, the novelty, the pomp, the gimmick, the glory and the appreciation.

In contrast, the sages of China inherited the Son of Heaven and enlightened all the people, and their bones all revealed the arrogance of being a teacher. Their guidance on frugality, humility, benevolence, loyalty, and other expositions flow between the lines, overflowing with a sense of wisdom in writing books, giving directions, and educating the people of the world—all of whom have been contaminated with this habit by scholars throughout the ages.

It seems that the Han people have always valued reading, learning characters, and essays. Even if there is no rice in the tank, the window is leaking, and the socks are torn, as long as they pick up the book and recite a few words, they can shake their heads and be complacent. Culture and education are becoming more and more popular, and the students and scholars may be angry inside, but they can't help but have no long things, and they are ashamed to go out and socialize, so this arrogance seems to be vain, hungry and ruthless, often do not care about etiquette, righteousness and shame, and it is inevitable that they will not look down on the upper and lower riba people when they become promoted-and they will also intensify their bullying, as if they are revenge for the grievances they have suffered.

The monarch and his blood relatives, relatives hold their heads high, sit on their backs, rely on Eguan costumes, delicacies and jade dishes, fragrant car beauties, broad door Washington, entourage honor guards, swords and swords, etc., and the inside is also wrapped in these, "Huaqi" is inevitably empty, so he hit it off with Dengke, the students and scholars on the list, hugged their shoulders and backs, jumped and rapped, and went together to stabilize the country, help the world, and govern the world:

Prominent clans, gatekeepers, and powerful people must be co-opted and suppressed at the same time; corrupt officials and corrupt officials and unkind people for the rich must be punished and exploited; farmers, industrialists, and businessmen must take a cut and be appeased; literati, servants, and artists must be destroyed and rewarded and promoted...... With the inertia that they have cultivated for a long time, it is difficult for them to look down on the people of the lower riba - even if they have mercy, they do not want to lose their prestige and nobility.

JHWH exemplifies the Jews' unlimited goals, but it does not promise them theocracy, hereditary monarchy, primogeniture, and a strong state with absolute monarchy and centralized power, expanding into a vast territory, a prosperous population, and a strong economy, making the country invincible in the face of the law of the jungle and the eyes of the jungle.

The Son of Heaven ruled the world, bringing the Han people a monarchy and centralized power in the southeast, supplemented by a relaxed, free-flowing, inclusive ethics and morality, patriarchal system, retreat style, and pragmatic interests, but the Han people basically lost their unlimited goals. Since then, the ultimate life pursuit of the Han people has surpassed "he can take his place!" and the fame of future generations, and the incense continues. In short, it is in the world, fighting for fame and luck - Xiang Yu stared at the first emperor's honor guard, said so, and did so, but the result was that the overlord bid farewell to his concubine, Wujiang killed himself, and the history books regretted.

Not to mention the rest of the people, they don't even dare to have a thief's heart. I watched and thought of the Son of Heaven's Qiongdui jade building, the Chinese feast divine brew, the Jinluan Imperial Palace, and the three palaces and six courtyards...... Who can be imprisoned by the guidelines, patriarchal laws, laws, customs, and so on? Even if they are ambitious in the world, ambitious, laborious, and uncertain, they must also do the things of recruiting wealth and welcoming nobles, supporting gold and leaning on cui, high-ranking families, and sealing wives and children—— so everyone draws on fame, baba and lilu, thirsts for great names, is devoted to grandparents, is charming and graceful, and is reduced to materialistic desires, and their bodies, minds, hands and feet are all swarming and stirring.

Infinite goals are indeed too illusory, and they are not as good as power and financial benefits. However, everyone runs to infinity, and no one cares about getting in the way of others. Goal 100 can be seen, everyone is lying at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the rules are lined up, one is higher than the other, and the end is not visible - the more people, the more forward, the more crowded, all of them are stumbling. Anyone who wants to squeeze into the front row will be poor all his life and will be difficult to do. For this reason, there are many people who are displaced, bruised all over their bodies, have a wooden expression, describe witheredness, die young, die of incense, separate wives, and ruined families.

It is true that the "model" of the Han Chinese is much more complete and elaborate than that of the Jews, and the system is much grander. It assisted the Han people in creating "Greater China", and thousands of years of civilization have been twisted and turned. However, it did not prompt the Han people to cross the watershed of adults in general, but most of them were blocked behind the ridge and lived in the sporadic satisfaction of value needs, vanity satisfaction, and the subsistence and clothing of wild run'er at and below the level.

What is even more tragic is that no matter how flexible it is, reconciling contradictions, and disintegrating resistance, it cannot withstand the consequences of the class struggle caused by the Son of Heaven and his close relatives, nepotism, nobles, and subordinate officials due to the lack of restraints, and the excessive spread of human desire: the family and the country and the entire system collapse and change the dynasty and the generations, and divide and merge endlessly, until the collapse of heaven and people's anger, the collapse of a hundred years of humiliation, the collapse of mountains and rivers, and the collapse of a piece of tile - there is no hope of continuation.

The sages of the Two Song Dynasty saw this trend, and were rewarded by the Son of Heaven for "confession", and they wanted to "preserve heavenly principles and destroy people's desires", and wanted to block it. This is the inertial expression of the arrogance of the Son of Heaven and the sages. However, who can do this against the Han people, who already have more than 100 million people? It is just a "whisper" that is made behind closed doors, fabricated against the wall, and cannot be restrained in anger, and knows that it cannot be done.

Although the Jewish "model" may seem rudimentary and crude, sparse and logical in its macro structure and completeness, and its logic is loose and fragmented, its prophets clearly have a deeper insight into human nature and grasp the core. Moreover, the solution of the problem is practical, concrete, persistent, resolute, and far-sighted—the aforementioned "four distinctions", especially the "self-inflicted humiliation", inspire the "voluntary", descend to the extreme, and leave no gap: first to shape a few Nazirites, to bless the future of prophets, judges, priests, and kings, and to lead the congregation and then the whole race, which is practical.

Tang Taizong's "Emperor Fan" said: "Take the law from the top, only for the middle, and take the law from the middle, so it is below." According to this, it can be seen that even if Ben Infinity falls not far away, it is much more achieved than Ben 100 falling on 90 steps. If JHWH (Yahvi) grants the Jews the same time and place as the Han Chinese, it is inevitable that the Jews can create a more friendly and cohesive human harmony, and create a "Great Jewish".

Although the heavens are not as good as people want, since they are under the care of "my lord", the Jews will go further in the development of their "model" than the indoctrination of the Son of Heaven and the sages, as well as the corresponding ethics and morals, and patriarchal systems -- contemporary history has shown that the Jews who believe in "our lord" have been restored to the country again and are still there today; and the Han people who bowed down to the Son of Heaven and Confucius and Mencius have been eliminated by the development of human society for a hundred years.

Nonetheless, the marriage of human nature and social development contains more complex mysteries than those of the Han Chinese sages and the profound insights of the Jewish prophets. The formation of a hierarchical social value system has taken root since apes lived in groups. Within it, no matter whether it is the Chinese style of harmony, moderation, and one-size-fits-all, or the voluntary and extreme of the Jews, it cannot reverse the dialectical evolution of human needs, and the trend of interweaving and infiltrating with social development to form a joint force.

Today, Jewish financial and industrial capital, like the tentacles of the giant octopus from the eternal race on Titan, penetrates into the core of countless multinational corporations, inspires information, commerce, media, and cultural resonance, and exerts a huge political, economic, military, and social impact on a global scale. Its results have surpassed the expansion of any great empire in human history.

However, is it committed to destroying the vanity and exaggeration of satisfying people's value needs? Is it trying to reverse the mutation of the hierarchical social value system?—— or is it decorating, repairing, and improving it more secretly and skillfully? As the world becomes more and more secularized, perhaps the financial and industrial capital controlled by the Jews today has long been assimilated by the inertia of the satisfaction of human needs and the intersection of value systems, and it no longer takes the "four distinctions of voluntary giving" of the Shiers.
