一、生命的总数是个定数

   在地球宇宙内，生命的总数是个定数，不是变数，也就是说，生命的总数是不变的，变化的只是生命轮回现象，这就像地球上水的总量，水的总量是定数，如果某个地方干旱，并不是地球上的水减少了，如果某个地方发生洪涝，并不是地球上增加了水。一碗水，让其在太阳下蒸发，最后碗里的水不见了，是不是说这些水都“死”掉了？当然不是，它们轮回转化了，云飘来，从云中降下雨，是不是说多“生”出了水？当然不是，它们只是轮回到大地而已，除非地球的整个体系发生变化，否则，地球上水的总量永远不变，不会消失，也不会增加，只是在轮回变化而已，它们或许轮回到了冰山上，或许轮回到了大海里，或许轮回到了大地中，或许轮回到了云雾中，千载如斯，生生不息。地球上人的数量增加了，是不是说诞生了新的生命？当然不是，新的生命并没有诞生，这些所谓的“新生命”只是从其他空间轮回转化到地球人间而已，地球上的人数增加了，那么，动物界生命的数量可能减少了，动物界生命增加了，人类的数量可能减少了，地狱里的生命减少了，动物界生命可能增加了。如果某段时期地球上人的数量突然大幅度减少了，那么，那些生命上哪去了？是“死”了吗？当然没有消失，他们或许去了天堂，或许去了地狱，或许去了植物层，或许去了动物层，或许去了家畜界，总之，地球宇宙内生命的数量就像地球上水的总量那样保持不变。

   1.  The Total Number of LIVES is Fixed

   The total number of LIVES in the earth universe is fixed and does not vary. This is to say that the total number of LIVES is fixed and that the only changes are from the phenomena of the reincarnation of LIVES. This is as with the fixed quantity of water on earth; if there is a drought somewhere, it does not mean that it has decreased; if there is a flood somewhere else, it does not mean that it has increased. Leave a bowl of water in the sun until it evaporates completely; has it died? Of course not, it has reincarnated. When clouds float in and rain falls from them, has more water been produced? Of course not, it has just reincarnated onto the earth. Unless the whole system of the earth changes, the total amount of water on it will never change; it will neither increase nor decrease, just reincarnate. It may reincarnate into icebergs, the sea, the earth, or clouds. Water runs in cycles like this for thousands of years. The number of people on the earth has increased, so does this mean that new LIVES have been born? Of course not! These so-called "new LIVES" are just reincarnated from other spaces into the earth. If the number of people on the earth increases, the number of animals may decrease; If that of animals increases, that of humans may decrease; if that of LIVES in hell decrease, that of LIVES in the animal world may increase. If the number of people on Earth suddenly decreases dramatically for a period of time, where have those lives gone? Are they dead? Of course they have not disappeared; they may have gone to heaven, hell, the plant layer, or the animal world. In short, the amount of LIFE in the earth universe remains the same, just as with the total amount of water on earth.

   二、生命的层次越低 数量越庞大

   昆虫的数量肯定比飞鸟的数量庞大，草的数量肯定比食草动物的数量庞大，食草动物的数量肯定比食肉动物的数量庞大，地球上其他生命的数量肯定比人类的数量庞大，地狱的生命肯定比天堂的生命数量庞大，人的数量肯定比仙界仙的数量庞大。此处引出一个问题，仙岛群岛洲天仙的数量比人间人的数量庞大，这是怎么一回事呢？就目前而言，仙岛群岛洲天仙的数量是三百亿，而地球上人的数量仅仅是七十亿，这个现象怎么违背了“生命的层次越低，数量越庞大”这个法则呢？其实，这个现象并没有违背基本法则，从静态看，天仙的数量比人的数量庞大，从动态看，依然是人的数量比天仙的数量庞大，在几亿年的时光里，天仙的数量基本没有变化，而几亿年间，人的数量是几千亿上万亿。“物以稀为贵，”生命同样以“稀”为贵。所以基督耶稣告诉我们众人所走的路通向死亡（下界），唯有少数人所走的路通向永生（上界），从这个道理而言，当一个人的观点与大众相同，那么，他走的路通往下界，大众向西走，你也向西走，那么，肯定通往下界，只有“闲世人之所忙，忙世人之所闲”的人才有希望走向上界。

   2.  The Lower a LIFE’s Level is, the Greater its Quantity is.

   The amount of insects is surely greater than that of birds, that of grass is surely greater than that of herbivores, that of herbivores is surely greater than that of carnivores, that of non-humans is surely greater than that of humans, that of LIVES in hell is surely greater than that of LIVES in heaven, and that of human LIVES is surely greater than that of celestial beings. The question then becomes, why is the number of Super Celestial Beings in the Celestial Islands Continent greater than that of humans on the Earth? Is this a contradiction? Up to now, the number of Super Celestial Beings has been thirty billion, while that of humans has only risen to seven billion. Does this phenomenon go against the law that “the lower a LIFE level is, the greater that level’s amount of LIVES is”? Actually, no! From a static point of view, the number of Super Celestial Beings is larger than that of humans, but from a dynamic point of view, the number of human beings is still larger. The number of Super Celestial Beings has not changed across hundreds of millions of years, but the total number of humans has been trillions during the same time period. Things, including LIVES, are valued according to their scarcity. Jesus Christ told us that the road taken by great numbers leads to destruction (lower LIFE spaces), but that only a small number will take the way to LIFE. From this perspective, when a person views things as the masses do, then they will go toward lower LIFE spaces; when the masses go a certain way and you follow them, then surely it will be toward lower LIFE spaces. Only those who concentrate on the things that common people ignore and remain indifferent to the things that common people value highly have any hope of ascending to higher LIFE spaces.

   三、“坏人”肯定比“好人”多

   根据生命的层次越低其数量越庞大原理，可以推算，“坏人”的数量肯定比“好人”多，也就是说，浑人的数量比俗人多，俗人的数量比凡人多，凡人的数量比贤人多，贤人的数量比仙人多，这就像人类社会，群众的数量比镇长多，镇长的数量比县长多，县长的数量比市长多，市长的数量比省长多，省长的数量比部长多，部长的数量比总理多，总理的数量比总统多。如果不是这样，必然混乱无序。

   3.  "Bad People" must Outnumber "Good People".

   According to the law of the amount of "lower level LIFE" being greater than that of "higher level LIFE", it can be deduced that the number of "evil people" surely exceeds that of "righteous people". This is also to say that the number of "ignorant people" is more than that of laities, that of laities is more that of mortals, that of mortals is more than that of sages, and theirs is more than that of celestials. It is as in human society where the number of common workers exceeds that of business managers, that of managers exceeds that of city mayors, that of mayors exceeds that of provincial governors and ministers, and theirs is greater than that of national presidents and prime ministers. Any other arrangement would be chaotic and disorderly.

   四、生命轮回到下界容易，升华到上界难

   人类社会中，容易犯罪的人多，容易成为“楷模”“标兵”的人少，因为犯罪容易，成仙难。人都喜欢迎合大众价值观，而大众的价值观属于数量庞大而生命层次低的一类，所以，向下界轮回很容易，在不知不觉中就走向了下界，所以，当大众认为“男大当婚女大当嫁”的人生观是天经地义的，你也去迎合这个天经地义的人生观时，结果可想而知。当大众忙于赚钱忙于办公司做生意而你也亦步亦趋时，轮回的后果可想而知。当大众练气功修仙修佛而你也去仿效时，肯定达不到目的。由于去上界的人数量稀少，加之人都有惰性，不愿接受新思想新思维新观念，喜欢守旧不愿改变传统，所以升华到上界不容易。

   4.  LIFE is Easy to Reincarnate into Lower LIFE Spaces but Hard to Sublimate into Higher LIFE Spaces.

   In human society, it is easier to commit crimes than to become role models and easier to become bad examples than good ones because it is easier to appease one’s flesh than to sublimate their souls. People like to cater to the values of the masses which fall into the category of high quantity but low quality of LIFE, so it is much easier to reincarnate towards lower LIFE spaces, and many do that unconsciously. Therefore, when the masses believe that, "When a boy grows up, he takes a wife and when a girl does so, she finds a husband", it is a natural outlook on life and you can predict the results when you take it as your own. When you follow the masses who are making money and doing business with companies, the consequences of reincarnation can be foreseen, but when you follow those who practice Qigong to attain Buddhahood or become celestials, you will certainly achieve a very different result. The number of people who are going to higher level spaces is small, ordinary people have inertia, are unwilling to accept new ideas, new thinking, and new values, and prefer traditions that they are unwilling to surrender, so it is hard for them to sublimate towards higher level spaces.
