自然、权利、共生三重启蒙

The Triple Enlightenments of Nature, Rights and Symbiosism

今天，面对中国败落的乡村生活，毒化了的空气、水土、微生物和紧张的官民矛盾；面对美国衰落的城市社区生活、铁锈带和党派纷争；面对欧洲分裂的族群、议会、政府和不堪重负的福利政策，我们的口号是：翻转极限，觉醒共生，人类需要生活方式创新与再选择的可能！

为此，人类需要自然、权利、共生三重启蒙。

自然（自己如此）启蒙

1、实然（实际如此）；2、应然（应当如此）；3、必然（必须如此）；4、或然（未必如此）。

正是或然给自由留下了活动空间，虽然你的一切来自于神的预定，但你因信称义的同时，必须因行而称义，否则你的命运未必如神预定给你的那样，神可以更换选定者，也就是神要不要改变你的命运，由你的行为方式决定，你自己是自己的原因。为此，神把你自己成为自己（命运）的权利也就交给了人，进入人神共生的新时期，此即保守主义的传统。

权利（权力和利益、义务和责任）启蒙

1、自由主义（含资本主义等诸般变体）；2、平等主义（含共产主义、社会主义、大同世界等诸般变体）；3、民族主义（含爱国主义、民粹主义或草根主义等诸般变体）；4、和谐主义（含法权主义、官粹主义或精英主义等诸般变体）。

理性、科学、技术、艺术这些在中国古人看来的属于“雕虫小技”的东西，来自自由的权利；生存、发展、机会这些在中国古人看来属于“礼崩乐坏”的东西，来自平等的权利；族群、和谐这些在中国人看来唯此为大的东西，则直接来自礼、乐、法的自然规范。

尤其是，全球化、信息化、生態化的历史行进不可阻挡的今天，四大权利的冲突，将会在我们赋予自然和文明人类一样重要的权利，进入全球共生的过程中得以化解！

共生（生命活体间共襄生成）启蒙

1、自觉（人在自然、社会、地球的位置）；2、共在（主体间性）；3、自在（自己在出自己）；4、尊严与幸福。

人作为宇宙自然生命活体中最灵巧的活体，其自觉、共在、自在的存在方式，就是觉悟到“生命之源，共生一体，和实生物，同则不继”，故而必须“一视为仨，和恊共生”，必须富有“存同尊异，间道共生”“道不同，亦相与谋”的智慧，从而“自己活，也要别人活”（live and let live），而非“自己邪恶，也让别人邪恶”（evil and let evil）。

无论李约瑟难题，还是钱学森之问，抑或汤因比池田大作之展望，从自然正义到约定正义，从智慧之爱到爱之智慧，从轴心时代到共生时代，从赎罪获救到臻美共生，都可以从上述“自然、权利、共生三重启蒙”中得到解释！

让我们，你、我、他（她它祂），相约共生，让生产回归生活，让生活呈现生態，让我们自己动脑动手选择一种健康、简约、艺术、高尚、富有尊严而可持续幸福的生活方式，创建一个全球共生的新世代。

The Triple Enlightenments of Nature, Rights and Symbiosism

Nowadays, facing the decaying rural life, poisoned air, water, soil and microorganisms and tense conflicts between officials and common people in China; facing the declining urban community life, Rust Belt and partisanship in the United States; facing the disassociated ethnic groups, parliaments, governments and overburdened welfare policies in Europe, our slogan is: Flip limit, awaken symbiosism!  People need to reselect a new suitable lifestyle!  

To this end, mankind needs the triple enlightenments of nature, rights, and symbiosism.

Natural Enlightenment(weakening one’s own intrinsic quality)

1.To be(according with reality); 2.Ought to be(a state that has not been achieved); 3.Must be(actions that must conform to obligation); 4.Probably be(a possibility for to be or not to be)

It is the “probably be” that leaves space for freedom.   Although all you have come from the predestination of god, you must be justified by your deeds when you are justified by faith; otherwise, your destiny may not be what god has endowed for you.   God can change those selected. That is to say, whether god will change your fate or not is determined by your behavior, yourself are the reason for the happening of alteration of yourself.   Therefore, god empowers you the rights to be your own(destiny) and the human society enters a new era of symbiosis between man and god，This is the tradition of conservatism.

Enlightenment of Rights(power and interests, obligations and responsibilities)

1. Liberalism (including capitalism and other variants); 2. Egalitarianism (including socialism and other variants); 3. Nationalism (including patriotism, populism, grassroots and other variants) ; 4. Harmonism (including legalism, officialism, elitism and other variants).

In the eyes of the ancient Chinese, science, technology and art which belonging to the “insignificant skills” are from the rights of freedom; survival, development and opportunity which leading to “propriety disintegration”, are from the rights of equality; clan and harmony, the only great things in the eyes of Chinese, are from the natural norms of rite, music and law.

Especially in today’s irresistible era of globalization, informatization and ecologicalization, the conflicts among the four major rights will be resolved while we joining in the process of global symbiosism in which we will equally entrust the important rights to the nature and civilized mankind!

Enlightenment of Symbiosism(grow symbiotically among living beings)

1. Self-consciousness (the position of mankind in nature, society, and on the earth); 2. Co-existence (inter-subjectivity); 3. Being free (people transcending themselves); 4. Dignity and happiness.

Mankind, as the most dexterous living body in the natural life of universe, his living style of being self-conscious, co-existed and at ease is the embodiment of awareness that “ the sources of life come from symbiosism; harmony generates new things, sameness doesn’t sustain”. Thus, we must “see things in a panoramic manner and live a symbiotic life”, and we must attain the wisdom of “reserving common ground while respecting the differences to live a symbiotic life on the inter-civilizational path” “ “Different Paths, still Seek Plans””, and by doing this, we can “live and let live” rather than “be evil and let evil”.

Whether the Needham problem, Tsien Hsue-shen’s question, or Toynbee’s and Daisaku Ikeda’s outlook, from natural justice to contractual justice, love of wisdom to wisdom of love, Axial Period to Symbiotic Era, all these can get explanations from the above-mentioned “triple enlightenments of nature, rights and symbiosism”!

Let you, me, him(she/it/Him) all pursue the symbiosism, let the production be back to life, let ecology be embodied in the every corner of life, let us take actions, make our own decisions to select a new lifestyle that is healthy, simple, artistic, noble, dignified, sustainable and happy, so as to open a new era of global symbiosism.
