508. Among all human relationships, the relationship with the Greatest Creator is the most fundamental.
509. The Greatest Creator never speaks to any individual in human language. All things in existence are His words, and the ever-changing phenomena of the universe are His dialogue with humanity. Those who can decipher the "book without words" are in direct communion with the Greatest Creator.
510. The Greatest Creator never records His will in written words. He never enters the human mind to provide special teachings or instructions. He never tests or examines anyone, never worries about gods or demons seizing His throne, and never judges anyone.
511. Where is the Greatest Creator? His essence resides in the Realm of Cool Serenity (the Zero World), and His spirit permeates all things in the universe. What is the Realm of Cool Serenity (the Zero World)? It is the zero point of the cosmic coordinate system—the intersection through which all axes pass: x, y, and z. All twenty parallel worlds are connected to this zero point, so the Greatest Creator exists simultaneously in all twenty. Without the Greatest Creator, none of these worlds could continue to exist.
512. All spiritual wisdom originates from the Greatest Creator, and all glory belongs to the Greatest Creator.
513. It is the Tao that governs the universe and orchestrates the orderly operation of all things. This Tao is the consciousness of the Greatest Creator and the manifestation of His power.

515. The Way of the Greatest Creator encompasses eight essential meanings:
The universe is the product of the consciousness of the Greatest Creator.
All things come into being through creation.
Everything operates within the consciousness of the Greatest Creator—the Tao.
Manifest your heavenly nature (innate nature) and follow the way of nature.
Revere and emulate the Greatest Creator.
Reality is the reflection of the free consciousness of each LIFE.
Joy, delight, freedom, and happiness are the central melodies of LIFE.
Everything is a game.
516. The essence of the Way of the Greatest Creator is heavenly nature, love, and Tao.
Heavenly nature represents the characteristic of structure.
Love represents the characteristic of energy.
Tao represents the characteristic of consciousness.
517. The core of the Way of the Greatest Creator is this: You reap what you sow.
If you wish to eat cucumbers, you must sow cucumber seeds in the soil. Accordingly, the harvest will surely be cucumbers—not watermelons, not pumpkins.
The Way of the Greatest Creator is the Way of nature. From the standpoint of nature, there is no doubt: sow melons, reap melons; sow beans, reap beans.
However, once you deviate from the Way of the Greatest Creator, the natural order becomes distorted. Then it becomes: sow melons, reap beans; sow beans, reap melons.
To put it clearly: in soil polluted with selfishness, greed, jealousy, resentment, ignorance, hypocrisy, and cunning, no seed will grow true to its nature. Everything mutates. The result will always be: sow melons, reap beans; sow beans, reap melons.
Only in soil enriched with kindness, honesty, integrity, and selflessness can one truly reap what one sows.
If you wish for your heart’s desires to come true, if you wish to realize your ideals, you must walk in the Way of the Greatest Creator.
To turn away from this Way is to let hope become despair, and comedy become tragedy.
518. The Way of the Greatest Creator is boundless and profound, rich in both essence and expression.
It transcends time and space, governs all things in the universe, and directs all transformations.
It has no outer boundary and no inner limit.
It is the Way of light, the Way of creation, the Way of LIFE, the Way of love, the Way of freedom, the Way of happiness, the Way of wonder, and the Way of Hundun.
519. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the Way of Nature.
Therefore, humanity should follow nature and make wise use of it, rather than attempt to conquer or reshape it.
520. There is only one exceptional occurrence in the universe: the birth of the Greatest Creator.
Apart from that, everything is governed by inevitability.
Inevitability is the order of the universe, and the order of the universe is inevitability.
The universe is harmoniously unified by the Tao, which is law and principle.
Within the scope of law and principle, all things are inevitable—there is absolutely no coincidence, luck, or accident.
Therefore, except for the birth of the Greatest Creator, everything in the universe follows the Tao, operating through programs and order.
521. There is no final judgment—judgment is taking place every moment.
LIFE is not judged by the Greatest Creator, nor by gods, Buddhas, or King Yama, but by the Tao—the consciousness of the Greatest Creator.
The Tao is in constant operation, second by second, moment by moment, without pause.
522. The original purpose of the Greatest Creator in creating the universe is to allow all beings to live with happiness, joy, freedom, and blessedness.
This remains His will.
523. To know, revere, believe in, and walk in the Way of the Greatest Creator is the prerequisite for awakening conscience.
Without the presence of the Greatest Creator in one’s heart, conscience cannot easily awaken—it may fade away or even be extinguished.
In truth, such a person may be said to lack conscience entirely, be without a moral compass, and become no more than a troublesome rogue.
Following the Way of the Greatest Creator is the essential foundation and guarantee for both humanity and each individual to live a truly joyful and blessed life.
524. Anyone who wishes to become the Greatest Creator is an embodiment or agent of Satan.
Anyone who encourages others to pursue becoming the Greatest Creator is a representative and accomplice of demons.
525. Soul energy is the highest form of energy in the universe, and it originates entirely from the Greatest Creator.
As long as we faithfully believe in Him and walk in His Way, we will never lack soul energy.
Essence and spirit are the next highest forms of energy.
The energy of essence comes mainly from the vital aura of heaven and earth, including the energies granted by all things in nature—both the beauty that uplifts the spirit and the carbohydrates converted through food.
The energy of spirit arises primarily from the level of consciousness. It is structural energy, programmatic energy, energy of faith, and may be broadly understood as the energy of the Tao.
526. Those who revere the Greatest Creator as the core faith of their lives, perceive the mysteries of the Tao with their souls, pursue Supreme Enlightenment, and strive to ascend to the highest realm of LIFE are living a soulful LIFE.
To attain such a LIFE, one must listen to the teachings of Jesus and walk in the Way of the Greatest Creator as Jesus taught.
527. Why should we walk in the Way of the Greatest Creator? Because only through Him can we reach higher-level spaces. Without Him, we merely circle within a certain space—or worse, slide into lower ones—never able to ascend to higher spaces.
528. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the path to joy, delight, freedom, and happiness. Whether in favorable or adverse circumstances, whether facing despair or even death, one must maintain inner tranquility and joy. Have faith that the Greatest Creator perceives all things clearly and justly gives rewards and punishments. Be courageous enough to entrust your LIFE to the arrangements of the Greatest Creator and let Tao govern and guide your journey.
529. All things created by the Greatest Creator are arranged in perfect order, with clear hierarchy and harmony. As long as we submit to Heaven’s will, fulfill our human duties, and follow the trajectory of our heavenly nature, our lives will be free of regret—whether in prosperity or adversity, light or darkness.
530. Before the Greatest Creator, even gods, Buddhas, celestial beings, demons, monsters, and spirits are powerless. Thus, on our journey through life and LIFE, if we hold firmly to the hand of the Greatest Creator, all will give way, and no harm will touch us.
531. The Greatest Creator does not dictate human destiny—each individual’s fate is ultimately self-created, for destiny is the result of one’s consciousness.
532. The purpose of understanding things is not merely to appreciate them or to coexist harmoniously, but more importantly, to make use of them in service of oneself—to expand one’s freedom to the greatest extent.
Walking the Way of the Greatest Creator is not about suffering and hardship, but about fully enjoying life and LIFE, and attaining the greatest happiness and fulfillment.
533. Great love is like a mountain—silent and steadfast.
The Greatest Creator’s love is unwavering and eternal, never spoken in human language.
If love comes with conditions, demands repayment, or requires words to express it, then it is small love—not Great Love.
534. Why should we be in awe of the Greatest Creator? The Greatest Creator is the supreme being of the universe, the creator of LIFE, and the upholder of a fair and orderly universe.
Without the Greatest Creator, there would be no universe, no humanity, not even gods or Buddhas. How could we not be in awe?
Only through awe can we act freely without violating HIS principles.
Only through awe can we follow objective laws and live in accordance with nature.
Only through awe can we remember that “three feet above the head, gods watch over us,” keeping us from harboring evil thoughts or committing wrongdoing.
Only through awe can we live in harmony with all beings and with nature, without abusing or harming LIFE out of selfish desire.
Awe arises from gratitude, humility, a love for life, and a deep reverence for the Creator and Sustainer.
535. Unless we follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, life’s problems cannot be properly resolved; unless we improve the quality of our LIFE, a good life will remain out of reach.
536. The Way of the Greatest Creator is neither a system of private ownership nor public ownership, but one of non-ownership.
Resources are shared by all and possessed by none. Everyone takes according to need, without claiming or accumulating.
Only in this way can the human world become an ideal place, and humanity’s long-cherished dream be realized.
537. “Three parts human effort, seven parts Heaven.” This means that to accomplish something, fulfill a wish, or realize a dream, only 30% depends on personal effort, while 70% relies on Heaven—that is, the Greatest Creator, the Tao, the program, the right timing, geographical advantage, harmonious relationships, and nature itself.
Human wisdom and effort are limited. If the timing is off or the environment is unfavorable, no amount of striving will bring success.
538. By walking the Way of the Greatest Creator, you can escape the sea of suffering and reach the ideal state of LIFE.
You can connect with the source of the universe and continually enjoy the joy of LIFE.
You can transcend the limitations of time and space, letting your consciousness roam freely across the infinite cosmos.
You can accumulate merit, repay karmic debts from countless lifetimes, clear your heart and mind, and realize the dreams you have longed for.
539. Following the Way of the Greatest Creator is the easiest, simplest, most direct, and most effective path.
There’s no need to refrain from this or that, no need to endlessly study Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, integrity, or techniques.
No need for daily scripture chanting or prayer, no need to cultivate supernatural abilities, no need to tirelessly seek out masters, and no need for lofty philosophical debates.
Just follow nature, and everything will unfold effortlessly.
540. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the Way of Nature—everything must unfold naturally.
Rushing to obtain something or striving to reach a goal prematurely goes against this natural way.
As the saying goes, “A melon falls when ripe, and a channel forms as water flows”—this is nature.
Forcing outcomes goes against it.
Conscious effort must be combined with going with the flow.
Without intentional effort, we remain stuck in confusion, unable to escape the maze of the 36 Bagua (Eight-Trigram) Arrays.
Without a mindset of flowing with nature, anxiety arises. We struggle, pursue, act out of impatience, and fail to reach our goal—often producing the opposite result.
541. For five thousand years, humanity's understanding of the Greatest Creator has been partial and fragmented. Without a proper and relatively complete understanding, there can be no true reverence.
Without reverence for the Greatest Creator, individuals live in confusion and suffering; and humanity as a whole cannot eliminate hidden dangers or establish a peaceful, tranquil, and vibrant order of life in harmony with nature.
There is only one path to a perfect life: the Way of the Greatest Creator.
There is only one path for humanity to escape its lostness: the Way of the Greatest Creator.
542. Follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, not the path of the gods—for even Satan is a god.
543. The Greatest Creator embodies love, truth, goodness, beauty, sincerity, joy, delight, freedom, and happiness. We should follow His example.
The Greatest Creator is also a creator through work, so we too should find joy in labor and creation.
The Greatest Creator is selfless and giving; by following His selflessness, we can find true happiness in our own giving.
544. No human should ever speak or act in the name of the Greatest Creator.
545. To connect with the Greatest Creator:
Read the "Book Without Words" — observe nature and learn from its silent wisdom.
Meditate — find stillness and receive divine guidance.
Pray — engage in conscious communion with the Greatest Creator.
546. If you encounter hardship, it is a sign you have strayed from the Way of the Greatest Creator. He does not subject those who walk His Way to suffering—absolutely not. Hardship is not a test from the Greatest Creator, but a result of departing from His Way.
547. The will of the Greatest Creator is revealed in the laws and principles of nature.
548. All who practice divination, fortune-telling, spell-casting, sorcery, enchantments, ghost communion, spirit channeling, witchcraft, or traversing the netherworld are detested by the Greatest Creator.
549. "You shall not put the Greatest Creator to the test."
550. "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
551. “If we forgive others for their wrongs, the Greatest Creator will forgive us. But if we do not forgive others, neither will we be forgiven.”
552. Have firm faith in the Greatest Creator; do not worry about tomorrow.
553. Do not judge others, or you too will be judged. The standard you use will be the standard applied to you; the measure you give will be the measure you receive. When we notice others' flaws, we should first examine ourselves—we may be even more flawed.
554. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
555. "In everything, treat others as you would have them treat you.”
556. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But the gate to LIFE is narrow and the path difficult, and only a few find it."
557. "Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits.”
558. Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of the Greatest Creator.
559. In the kingdom of the Greatest Creator, people neither marry nor are given in marriage. Only those who remain unmarried are qualified to enter; those who desire to marry will never reach the kingdom of the Greatest Creator.
560. Faith is truth, and love is LIFE. Faith can accomplish everything: small faith brings small results, while great faith brings great achievements. Without faith, one is lost; without faith, nothing can be done.
561. "The disciples said, ‘If this is the relationship between a man and his wife, then it is better not to marry.’ Jesus replied, ‘Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. Let whoever can accept it, accept it.’”
562. "Those who do the will of the Greatest Creator and walk in His way are our true spiritual family."
563. If our brother keeps offending us, we must forgive him seventy-seven times. If we do not forgive our brother from the heart, the Greatest Creator will not forgive us.
564. Whoever wants to be great among you must become your servant; and whoever wants to be first must become your slave.
565. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to the Greatest Creator what is His.
566. The Greatest Creator is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
567. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled; those who humble themselves will be exalted.
568. Nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them; it is only what comes out from within that defiles.
569. What good is it if someone gains the whole world, yet forfeits their LIFE? What can they give in exchange for their LIFE?
570. Love the Greatest Creator with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The second is just as important: love others as yourself.
571. To worship the Greatest Creator, there is no need to go to churches, temples, Taoist abbeys, or mosques. The whole universe, nature itself, and the human soul are sacred spaces for worship.
572. Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth; instead, store up treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also, and that is where you will ultimately go.
573. What we value determines the realm of our LIFE, and we will live wherever our full consciousness resides.
574. The sky will not send rain to a barren desert, nor will heaven bestow spirituality upon a desolate heart.
575. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the spirit is LIFE and peace.
576. Unless we turn and become like little children, we will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
577. “A man's enemies will be those of his own household.”
578. What is great faith? It is complete belief and trust without a trace of doubt—trusting not only what you understand, but also what you do not yet understand. Without great faith, we are like water without a source and trees without roots.
579. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the LIFE; therefore, we should listen to His teachings and follow His guidance.
580. Everyone who hears the words of Jesus and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the floods rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears His words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the floods rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
581. Do not swear oaths, for we cannot control how things will unfold. Once a vow is broken, it becomes a chain of dishonor—a shackle we place on ourselves.
582. Do not be heartless, nor be entangled in affection.
583. Affection in moderation brings joy; in excess, it becomes a poison. To be poisoned by affection brings trouble, pain, and sorrow.
584. Those who live a life rich in love and affection possess more beautiful souls, gentler dispositions, and calmer tempers. They draw closer to the Greatest Creator and know how to cherish life, embrace nature, and love others.
In contrast, those whose lives lack love and affection tend to have uglier souls, harsher characters, and more irritable tempers. They drift farther from the Greatest Creator and fail to appreciate life, nature, and humanity.
585. The lower the level of LIFE, the less love it contains. What is hell? A place without love is hell. The higher the level of LIFE, the more love it holds. What is heaven? A place filled with love is heaven.
586. The approach to love and affection: go with the flow of life's connections, act in alignment with one's true nature, and take action as opportunities arise.
When love arises, let the heart respond; when it fades, let the heart return to stillness.
Do not cling, do not obsess, do not seek to possess or control. Let love unfold naturally between willing hearts; if there's no resonance, do not force it. Let mutual joy and happiness be the only measure.
587. Escape the whirlpool of emotional entanglements.
We do not forget love, nor do we sever emotional ties, but we must not become ensnared in them. Just as we need food and water to survive, we must not mistake them for the purpose and meaning of life.
If we spend our entire lives chasing food and drink, we lose the meaning and value of being human. Likewise, if we live solely for emotions and affection, we cannot expect to climb mountains, and cross rivers to reach the realm of freedom.
588. Love has its own frequency—only those who vibrate on the same wavelength can truly resonate.
Love must be sought through love itself; a heart lacking love cannot recognize it. To receive love, one must first understand it, then use love to seek love, and to sustain it.
Those who lack love within cannot feel the love others offer.
589. Emotion, love, sexuality, and color are nature's expressions and the most primal essences of LIFE. They are the most precious components of LIFE, the source of all joy, and the essential driving force that keeps LIFE alive.
To attain a beautiful life and a bright future, one must immerse oneself in these realms—not escape them.
Immersion brings brilliant color, endless wonders, vibrant vitality, and boundless delight;
withdrawal brings barren wastelands, ghostly wails, lifeless silence, and an abyss of suffering.
590. Sex is a resource—not only a material one, but also a resource of the spirit and soul. Especially between men and women, it is a resource even more precious and meaningful than food.
This resource brings eight great blessings:
It brings calm and serenity.
It fosters contentment and fulfillment.
It awakens love for life and the joy of living.
It inspires hope and longing for the future.
It enables the continuation of the human race.
It brings pleasure and happiness.
It nurtures a heart of gratitude.
It allows one to experience a state of supreme bliss.
591. The most profound way of living is to follow the natural flow. The most skillful approach is to go with the flow of life's connections. The deepest tranquility comes from adapting to circumstances with ease. The highest state is to become one with the Tao. The truest affection comes from one's true nature, and the highest form of love is love rooted in that nature.
592. Exclusive one-on-one relationships between men and women are an unattractive phenomenon. From a human perspective, one-on-one romantic relationships may seem beautiful, but from a celestial perspective, they are seen as utterly unappealing. Similarly, one-to-many relationships are also flawed. The best approach is to adapt to circumstances, go with the flow of life, follow one's true nature, and take action spontaneously as opportunities arise.
593. The love between husbands and wives, romantic love between lovers, exclusive devotion, sworn vows of eternal fidelity, and the sentiment of “For her, I have become so haggard” are all forms of toxic love. Once ensnared by such love, suffering in life becomes inevitable.
594. Love and sex can both elevate and destroy us. Broad and expansive love and sex reflect the qualities of LIFE in heaven, while narrow and exclusive love and sex are characteristics of LIFE in the human world. The struggle to claim and possess sexual resources reflects the heavenly natures of animals.
595. Love and sex are merely beautiful embellishments of life, like ripples on the surface of the sea; they are by no means the entirety of life.
596. True love is selfless. The moment selfishness creeps in, when one begins to treat the other as a possession, an ornament, or an appendage, love becomes disturbingly ugly, revealing the petty and tyrannical nature of the slave owner. What was once noble and poetic then falls into the trap of vulgarity, and love’s fragrance can no longer bloom.
597. Sex is not a raging beast nor a destructive flood. Let the river flow freely, and it remains gentle and benign. But if you dam the water and block its natural course, then once the floodgates burst or the levee breaks, it will surge with destructive force. The more sex is suppressed, the more violently it will erupt—until it becomes the very monster it was feared to be.
598. The heart holds the Bodhi tree; the soul is a mirror, bright and still.
All things arise through illusion and transformation.
With clarity of true nature, one transcends the dust of the mortal world.
599. A woman’s beauty lies in her softness, which holds the power to overcome rigidity. Softness is not weakness, nor does it imply indecision or blind acceptance of others. It is not an invitation to be mistreated. On the contrary, true softness is strength in its highest form—it is gentleness infused with resilience. Like water, tender softness can cleanse all impurity, wear through stone, and conquer all resistance.
600. Love is an attribute and a precious gift bestowed by the Greatest Creator. All true love is pure, kind, and beautiful. A perfect man will sincerely love all virtuous women, and a perfect woman will warmly love all noble men. This is not fickleness, but a noble quality—a virtue that only Celestial Beings possess.
