Induction

The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Verse:
〖詩曰〗:跳龙门,须汲浪,雷电轰轰,踊跃万丈。
Explanation:
〖解析〗:鱼跃龙门,主有升迁之喜,无论你学业上或事业上都有高升的好面会,而你要借助水的力量,须汲浪,就是这层意思。而这里所说的水,不是静止的水,而是运动的状态下的水形成了浪,十二地支中子为最旺盛的水,壬子1972年生的一位属鼠的朋友,将向你提出有益的忠告和帮助,你要听取一采纳他的意见,方可取得贺圆满的成功。雷声轰轰,这里用雷作象征,指示的是有关方向,时季和保护神,震卦为雷,春季,东方,五行属木,护神为表龙,震卦往往所显示的国因中同喜,亦因草木姓氏人称心。踊和跃,都是激烈的运动状态,这里主要还靠自己的意志,外来力量的帮助还只在关键的时候和地方,你在不停歇的运动中,获得利益,来之不易,辛苦了。

Part 2
Verse:
〖詩曰〗:一个神道,随尔去行,逢人设法,到处显灵。
Explanation:
〖釋義〗:神道随你同行,处处佑你助你,逢凶化吉,遇难呈祥。不能不说是有缘之人。
任何一个无助的人向你请求的时候,你都会热情地为设法,尽力帮助。并且处处表现出神道的灵光和威力。你地智慧和成功之星。那么这个神道有名姓?你想知道,也是可以理解,但你并不是一定非要知道不可,且听我远远地为你道来:
"摩诃般若波罗蜜多"你听就过吗?佛教有一部心经,就是它命名的。摩即宏大,优胜之意;般若就是智慧;波罗蜜多指的是"从迷亡的此岩到达明司的彼岩",简单可译成完成。全部的意思就是"大智慧的完成"。这部《摩诃般若波罗蜜多心经》将照亮你一生。其中有这么一段咒语:揭谛揭谛波罗揭谛波 罗僧揭谛菩提娑婆诃。从今以后,你要每天诵上三遍,志诚为要。另外,不论何时何地,,出现什么急难,都可以赞诵:"南无阿弥陀佛!"。
