spiritual glory

In Buddhism, there is a so-called "mind power", which actually refers to the power of belief. By extension, I understand the power of the spirit, which is "divine power". The spirit is inseparable from the material, and it needs a material carrier. The material can exist independently of the spirit, but the material without spiritual sublimation is dead silt. After watching the film, what touched me a lot was not the oppression suffered by black people, nor the courageous decision of black people, nor the greatness of the cause of emancipating black people. What moved me was the spiritual world of Robert Gouldshaw, a white officer, and the glory of his spirit. So when it comes to this, I think the writer and director are still "selfish", and this film is to a greater extent to praise the spirit of the era of white Americans.

The rebel forces fought to the death to protect their wealth and life. The federal government's resolute advance was to abolish slavery and unify the market to gain fame and fortune. Black slaves actively participated in the war to resist oppression and fight for freedom. Deshaw has the same spiritual pursuit of white officers, they don't have to sacrifice themselves, what are they for. A Chinese idiom goes "to sacrifice one's life for righteousness", and they are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to demonstrate a spirit. This spirit is equality, liberty and justice. There are also tolerance, struggle, transcendence, etc. These wonderful works of human spiritual culture have bloomed even more brilliantly in the United States, becoming the spiritual characteristics pursued by Americans, leading Americans to create miracles one after another, making outstanding contributions to human civilization, and also Bless the United States of America to ride the wind and waves, and be undefeated for 236 years.

I recently watched three film and television dramas, the movie "The Last Samurai", the TV series "Towards the Republic" and "The Great Qin Empire 1". What I have learned is that when a nation is strong, it is the rise of its spirit first, but when a country is going to decline , must be mentally sluggish first. No matter how developed the material world is, without the strong adhesive of the spirit, it will collapse suddenly and be vulnerable if there is a slight wind and waves. In our age, rhetoric is developed, thinking is lacking, material is developed, and spirit is lacking. People are too addicted to the pursuit and creation of the material world, and blindly obey and revolve around real life. Some people say that it is the traditional realist values ​​of the Chinese people that ensure that this ethnic group will survive disasters. It was so in the past, and it will be so in the future. When do we build our own spiritual home, when are we truly powerful.

We are not omnipotent, and we also need the protection of God. This God is not a "god", but a "spirit".
