Family Organic Farming in the Desert
沙漠上的家庭规模有机农业
By W.C.Tan 陈慰中 Canada
Food + O2 → H2O + CO2 +Energy
或者， 能源 ＋ 消耗 → 水份 ＋ CO2 ＋ 活动
或者， 燃料＋燃烧 → 蒸发 ＋ 温室效应 ＋ 建设
或者， 建设 ＝ 人口↑ ＋ 发展 ＋进步 ＋ 生产 ＋ 效率 ＋ 战争
西方的人口大概1%是参加农业生产，而来喂养99% 的人口，这种高效率的生产需要依赖化肥、农药、和转基因的种子。这些方法都会消耗大量能源，同时造成温室效应，并且伤害土壤和水源。高效率的生产是工业化的大规模生产，虽然产量高，但是会导致温室效应。发展中国家的人口可能有一半是参加农业生产，假如用高效率的方法来生产，也会导致环境的破坏和温室效应。其实发展中国家有充分的人力发展可持续性的农业，不需要采取高效率的科技方法。假如发展中国家想用高效率的方法加速发展农业，就会使部分农民放弃农业而迁移到城市打工，继而引发城市的失业的问题和环境的破坏，温室的效应。
Different systems, along different paths, will arrive at the same state of finality. This is a historical necessity leading to an inevitable state, namely the global warming. In human history, that state is rapidly reached after the Industrial Revolution. The acceleration of that state is the WTO and TRIPS. The point however is to reverse it! The acceleration of global warming leading to civilization’s self-destruction is evidenced bu the fact that 90% of the world’s glaciers are in retreat. The end will come when Greenland is melted.
“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden, thou may freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it, for in the day, that thou eat thereof, thou shall surely die.” (Genesis 2: 16-17)，“人类吃了别善恶之果后，一定死亡。”
《吕氏春秋 上农篇》载，“民舍本事末，以是为非，以非为是”，意思就是说农民放弃农业而从事商业就会颠倒是非，这是价值观的破产。正如《四书》的大学所说国以利为利，不以义为利。正如人类吃了别善恶之果以后，就以利为利，不以义为利，这是价值观的颠倒，这是逻辑的危机。人性之别善恶常以己为善，以彼为恶，这是军火商寻敌的简单逻辑。他们控制了媒体来制造己善彼恶的敌友战争概念，以打起民主自由的旗号来发动所谓先下手为强的自卫圣战，导致人类的自灭和生态环保的破坏，全球温室效应，同归于尽。这正如《左传》所说，“多行不义必自毙。”
工业革命以后的世界，因为全球温室效应的加速也加速了人类自灭的过程。全世界冰川90%都在溶解是个事实。全球的蜜蜂都被转基因的花粉毒死以后，农业就停顿了。
一百多年前，一位美国的教授F.H. King写了一本书，叫做《四千年来的农夫》（“Farmers of Forty Centuries”）说，中国的土壤为什么耕种了四千年以后还保持可持续性，其简单的答案是中国一直使用农家肥。因此，全国需要开始进行农家肥的收集和使用。
马克思的历史观是生产工具促进了人类的历史的发展，同样的，燃料的效率的提高也促进了温室效应得加速。
Reversal of Inductrial Revolution
扭转工业革命
“And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”(Isaiah 2:4)
上面这段话就是说，工业革命以后产生了温室效应的加速，原因乃是人民弃农而从商，商业抢夺市场，增加竞争，导致战争的产生。假如能够倒转工业革命的方向，其方法乃是把刀剑变成耕犁，把枪矛变成修枝杆。就是把工业改称农业，世界就会达到和平。这是一个神学上扭转工业革命最有效力的预言。
Reversal of Industrial Revolution is signified by, Changing swords into ploughshares, spears into pruninghooks, transforming, the armament industries into agricultural production. Nations of Industrial Revolution had led war of aggression, colonization, exploitation, and trade in weapons. Agriculture on the other hand, is associated with the mandate of heaven and reliance on forces of nature beyond ourselves. Learning war is against mandate of heaven and nature.
An important step in the reversal of industrial revolution is the removal of agriculture from WTO and TRIPS and coupled with a stop on the urbanization of farm land
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.”(Isaiah 11:6)这就是乌托邦境界的先知预言的神学。
There is harmony among diversity through mutual respect. Mutual respect is mutual protection of self-worth.
马克思说生产工具的发展改变了人类历史的发展，但是毛泽东和邓小平指出改变中国的历史的是中国的农民们。
“天下有道，走马以粪” （道德经）“各从其类”（周易）
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) Immanuel 的意思是上帝与人类同在。这就中国的天人合一。只有农业才能够把天、人、地联合起来，因此农业是神圣的。古人称之为神农。
With God nothing is impossible. Union of heaven, humanity, and nature can be accomplished on earth as in heaven through a little child, through a simplicity of faith.
The Crisis of Drinking Water
饮水的危机
“And the rich man in hell cried out, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus the beggar, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.” (Luke 16:24)
每一次拉抽水马桶就消耗了几个公升的淡水，因此要节省水源，马桶臭了才冲，特别是大便以后。Save fresh water, flush toilet when smells, as after a bowel movement.
“And God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel called to Hagar out of heaven, and said into her. What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.”
“And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and the lad drank.”(Gen. 21: 14-19)
There is water in all deserts if we only open our eyes to see.
God is all merciful and compassionate. True religion shows mercy and would practice love and social compassion. Racism appears in many forms and is disguised with hypocrisy. But in the end God opens the eyes of the oppressed and shows hope. Hope lies where hopelessness is. We find water in the desert.
Therefore, re-direct wastage of fresh water from the flush-toilet to grow alfalfa in desert. Make desert a cooler place to attract rain-fall.
“Be quiet, and fear not, neither be faint hearted.”(Isaiah 7:4)
“And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.” “They shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.”(Isaiah 35:1-2)
“For in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.”(Isaiah 35:6-7)
As the desert has increased annual rainfall, alfalfa growth abounds.
Lowering of Global Warming
减缓温室效应
Desert has provided nature’s way of filtering rain water with dissolved CO2 and as such will store the green-house gas deep down below the land as stream for growing plants. Continuous storage of green-house gas will lower global warming.
H2O + CO2 →H++HCO3- , weak acid
2 HCO3- + Ca2+ → CaCO3↓+2 H+, but
2 H+ + CaCO3 →Ca2+ +2 H+ + CO32-
releasing Ca2+ other Mg2+ alike.
The release of Ca2+ and Mg2+ and other divalent cations is good for organic crops and vegetable. They are the tree of life. Life is organic.
CaCO3 is lime stone; this can be dissolved by weak acid. Weak acid is CO2 dissolved in water.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
长城乃中国的天梯
天梯乃上下
长城乃东西
“And the tree of life, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Rev. 22:2)
Nations can settle families in desert.
“And they shall come from the east and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.” （Luke 13:29）
Diversity of races, religions, and cultures, and nationalities shall sit down in the kingdom of God, through mutual respect of each other’s self-worth. Nations can settle families in the desert to do family organic farming to lower global warming.
The fastest economy in the world should start examples of building family organic farming.
Peasants of the world, unite to fulfill union of the Tao of Heaven and Tao of the earth and Tao of man. 民以食为天，民以天为食，天道乃价值观，精神道德粮食。
The Theology of the Temple of Heaven
天坛的神学
“The Sacrifice of God is a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart. O God, thou will not despise.” (Po. 51:17) 天子祭祀前斋戒
“I will arise and go to my father, and will say into him. Father, I have sinned against heaven and against thee.”(Luck 15:18) 天心
“Against heaven and against thee”Against heaven means against nature, and against thee means against family. So the Prodigal son said, “I will go to my Father” means that he will go home. And that home is a family, and the family is a farming family, and in those days, it is organic farming. Therefore, the Prodigal son has returned to Family Organic Farming.
天坛：“to my Father”－go home－family. It is a farming family to begin with.
天子祭祀“皇天上帝”。天子在“天心石”诵读祭文。“天心”乃天人合一之天命，祈丰年天粮， 天坛的斋戒就是“with a broken and contrite heart,” The Sacrifice of God is self-giving. Family organic farming is the will of God, 天人合一 it is the value upon which a civilization is built upon.
