Empress Wu went by the alchemist at the court, and asked him to explain the operation of the wireless unit with the manifold, the link between God and his creatures, and the interconnectedness of all things together, but in a simple and comprehensive. Maestro Fa Tsang shut in a room of the imperial palace, and went to work to please his sovereign.
Fa Tsang made 8 mirrors hang on the walls, at the 8 points of the compass, then placed a mirror on the ceiling and one on the floor then put a candle in suspension in the center of the room. When he entered the Empress Wu, Fa Tsang lit the candle, and the room was filled with the splendor of a thousand lights reflected in mirrors.
The Empress looked around and said, enchanted, "Oh Master Fa Tsang! What splendor! What a wonderful show you have set up "Master Fa Tsang said:" Gracious Sovereign, this is the relationship that exists between God and its creatures, this is the relationship with the multiplicity of the One! "The empress said:" Now I understand the Master, but what is the relationship between the creatures between them? "
Fa Tsang said," Look Heavenly Majesty, you look like the light of each mirror reflects the light of the candle that shines in the middle of the room. The reflections of the flame is reflected in the other mirrors so as to produce thousands of lights in fact, the reflections are identical but are different because each has its individuality. All the reflections come from the same light so they are identical, but they are also interchangeable.
This explains the relationship between the One and the many, and it also explains the relationship between the creatures together. Heavenly Majesty, but this is only a rough explanation with a demonstration of the very coarse nature of things. In reality the universe is unlimited, in fact it is multidimensional and changes into an eternal flow. "So
Master Fa Tsang took a veil, and covered one of the mirrors showing that any interference is going to cause a change, although it is limited and meaningless: every small event causes a change in the whole body of our world, although not appearing no apparent cause. Finally
Fa Tsang raised a tiny crystal ball and said, pointing Empress: "Now, my gracious sovereign, watch how each mirror which shines light on many forms and is reflected, in turn, reflected by this tiny sphere: thus the higher reality is reflected in lower reality. Indeed, the infinitely large is reflected in the infinitely small. How high is so low, and as below, so is up.
Oh, how I'd like to also show a further interconnection, as there is also the link between time and eternity, as there is a link between present, past and future. Unfortunately, this concept is inexplicable, in fact is a dynamic concept that must be understood at a different level, a level that is unexplainable. "
