Inside Lifechanyuan. 3. Cosmology and Creation
10/15/2025 Massimo Introvigne
The community’s account of the origins of the universe and humankind is metaphysical, psychological, and ethical.
by Massimo Introvigne
Article 3 of 6. Read article 1 and article 2.
Lifechanyuan has quietly developed a comprehensive metaphysical system. Its founder, Guide Xuefeng, blends Taoist, Buddhist, and Abrahamic motifs into a sweeping cosmology that begins before the universe’s birth and culminates in the creation of humanity—not once but multiple times, by different divine agents. Based on foundational texts by Xuefeng and interviews with community members, this article traces their theory of origins, from the ineffable Wuji to the spiritual ancestry of East Asia.
Before anything existed—before time, space, matter, or spirit—there was Wuji. In Lifechanyuan’s metaphysics, Wuji is not merely emptiness but a paradoxical fullness. It is the shapeless source from which all arises, akin to the Buddhist notion of the Void and the Taoist idea of the uncarved block.
Wuji is described as a state beyond duality, where opposites do not exist yet. It is timeless because time requires motion, and motion requires form. As Xuefeng writes, “If the Earth is not born, does the Earth have time? If the Universe is not born, does the Universe have time? No. This is the time in Wuji.”
To illustrate Wuji’s nature, Xuefeng invokes a scene from the 16th-century Chinese novel “Journey to the West,” where the Monkey King is trapped inside a magical cymbal that expands or contracts with his size. Wuji, like the cymbal, is both infinitely large and infinitesimally small—its dimensions determined by the presence or absence of matter.
From Wuji emerges Taiji, the first structured energy form. Taiji is a “locked reservoir containing billions of billions of Pacific,” a metaphor for its immense latent power. When chaos begins to organize, the first “tornado” of potential energy forms at a central point. “Before the Universe was born, ‘something’ existed. This ‘something’ is Taiji, the psychic energy of the Greatest Creator.”
This central point undergoes a transformation under immense energetic pressure. Like a fertilized egg developing consciousness in the womb, the energy center becomes a structured entity. And with structure comes awareness. Thus, the Greatest Creator is born—not as a deity in robes but as the first consciousness arising from the energetic matrix of Taiji.
This Creator is not static. The energies of Taiji begin to orbit its consciousness, initiating movement, polarity, and eventually, the birth of space and time. “After the Greatest Creator is born, the ‘two polarities’ come into being, the celestial bodies show up, the celestial movement begins, the unlimited space is born, the time starts, and everything gets into the movement cycle of life and death.”
Taiji gives rise to the “two polarities”—existence and non-existence, yin and yang, light and darkness. These opposites generate the “four directions,” producing the “eight trigrams” of the Chinese I Ching, the Book of Changes.

These trigrams are more than simple symbols; they are energetic archetypes. Their permutations produce the sixty-four I Ching trigrams, which Xuefeng asserts encode the universe’s fundamental laws. “The birth and death of all things, the limitless mysteries, and all changes and movements in the Universe are hidden in the permutation and combination (formula) of these 64 trigrams.” They are “hidden to the common people.” Even “the most achieved Taoists in China only knew a few of the factors. Sakyamuni masters half of them, and Jesus only knows a few more than Sakyamuni does”: “No disclosure of the Heaven secrets.”
With this metaphysical framework established, Lifechanyuan shifts its focus to modern science. It contends that evolution is an incomplete and self-deceptive theory. Guide Xuefeng criticizes the absence of transitional fossils and questions the likelihood of complex biological structures emerging from random mutations.
He points to the Cambrian Explosion as evidence of sudden creation: “It is like mushrooms growing everywhere along ditches and grasslands after an overnight drizzle, which is by no means a slow and gradual process.” He also invokes the geometric precision of beehives and the instinctual genius of animals as phenomena that evolution cannot explain.
In his words: “The birth of Lifechanyuan has proved evolution theory has ‘absolutely broken down.’ Evolutionism cannot prove the origin of humanity. Human beings were not evolved from animals at all.”
Lifechanyuan does not reject the Biblical narrative about Adam and Eve outright but reinterprets it as a localized story. It argues that the Genesis account describes the origin of the Israelite people, not all humanity. The story of Cain fearing retribution implies the existence of other humans beyond Adam’s family.
“If what the Bible recorded is true,” Xuefeng writes, “there must be some other men who exist except Adam’s family, and they must have long existed before Adam’s family. Otherwise, Cain would not say, ‘every one that findeth me shall slay me.’ So, if there lived other humans, and they were not descendants of Adam and Eve (back then, Adam and Eve only had two sons, and Abel was killed by Cain), we can say Adam and Eve are not the ancestors of all human beings, and what the Bible recorded is only the story of the origin of the Israelite people. The Bible only recorded the origin of the Middle East people, and not that of all human beings.”
This opens the door to a broader, multi-lineage theory of human origins.
After creating the universe, the Greatest Creator delegates its management to gods—conscious energy entities formed from concentrated energy balls. Among the myriad gods, Jesus and Satan are the two dominant gods overseeing Earth’s universe. They represent opposing principles: light and darkness, kindness and cruelty, ordinary and extraordinary.

Xuefeng challenges the conventional idea that Satan is “an enemy… a demon that devours life. This is a tremendous misunderstanding and injustice. In reality, Satan is faithfully and dutifully fulfilling his divine responsibility.” Satan indeed works to prevent people from reaching the higher realms of life. However, in the dualistic view of Lifechanyuan, reminiscent of some ancient Gnostic texts, Satan and Jesus are both needed to maintain the universe’s balance.
The Creator also created angels to assist them. These beings, lower in energy than gods, are messengers and helpers. Over time, angels split into two factions: those aligned with Satan became Buddhas, and those aligned with Jesus became Celestials.
“Buddha means a ‘human’ who is not human,” Xuefeng explains. Buddhas possess supernatural powers but may be prone to arrogance. Celestials, by contrast, are gentle, fun-loving, and nature-oriented.
According to Lifechanyuan, Jesus, aided by hundreds of millions of celestial beings, led the solar system’s creation 4.5 billion years ago. Celestials designed Earth’s ecosystems, crafted the moon as a stabilizing satellite, and used UFOs to spread life.
“The UFOs we occasionally see are not from outer space; they are from the center of the moon, which is a huge warehouse. It stores many ‘tools’ which had been used by celestials; UFO is also one of the ‘tools:’ There is a door on the moon; it can be opened at any time.” “Celestials can remotely control UFOs in the warehouse of the moon to monitor the earth according to their needs.” There is also a giant “palace” under the mysterious Bermuda Triangle that is “the temporary ‘lodge’ for the visiting celestials.”
But Satan, jealous of their happiness, sent Buddhas to Earth to release destructive creatures—including carnivorous animals, mosquitoes, snakes, and even dinosaurs. The Creator responded with a plague that wiped out the dinosaurs, although two survived beneath the bottom of the East China Sea and later re-emerged in human form.
Approximately 1.6 million years ago, the Greatest Creator fashioned a new life form: humans. Celestials tried to create them in Egyptian laboratories—pyramids are remnants of those efforts. Early prototypes included monkeys and apes. Ultimately, they made three human groups: Black Africans, Native Americans, and White Europeans.
Meanwhile, another god created Adam and Eve in the secret garden of Eden near Jerusalem. Their descendants spread throughout the Middle East. Cain’s fear of being killed makes sense, then, since other humans already existed.
According to Lifechanyuan, East and Southeast Asians were not created by gods but emerged from the two surviving dinosaurs. These beings transformed into human form and propagated along the Yellow River. This explains the Chinese reverence for dragons and their self-identification as “descendants of the dragons.”

Buddhism originated in India and found fertile ground in East Asia because of this lineage. The ancestors of Shakyamuni came from India to the Yellow River area. Indians, however, were of mixed descent, as a group of descendants of dragons had moved there and intermarried with the descendants of Adam and Eve. “Because Indian people were designed by a different creator, they were reluctant to accept the theory of Buddhism… That’s also why, although Buddhists had made great efforts, it still failed in India.”
The Great Flood, mentioned in both the Bible and Chinese legends, was a divine reset. It marked the second such reset, as the first had wiped out the stronger, taller humans who had established their centers in Egypt, Atlantis, and the City of Maya. These humans were cruel and selfish, and they even ascended to higher levels of paradise—the “Ten-thousand-year World” and the “Elysium World”—to cause trouble.
So, the Greatest Creator destroyed them, leaving only some “weak and less intelligent humans” on Earth. The Greatest Creator built a lesser paradise to comfort them, a planet 960 light-years away—the “Thousand-year World.” Those who live virtuously can ascend there after death.
However, humans again became arrogant, ignoring the Greatest Creator and succumbing to materialism. About 4,700 years ago, the Creator tilted Earth’s axis, causing storms that drowned most life.
Yet survivors still existed worldwide. They were not only Noah and his family. Stories of a flood and humans surviving it are told across many cultures, from China to the Americas.
Lifechanyuan’s cosmology is metaphysical, psychological, and ethical. It offers a layered account of creation, consciousness, and human diversity. It challenges scientific orthodoxy while incorporating ancient Chinese wisdom and global religious perspectives.
Whether one accepts its claims or not, Lifechanyuan offers a coherent and internally consistent worldview. It is a cosmology of consciousness, a spiritual anthropology, and a metaphysical engineering manual—all combined into one. And in a world hungry for meaning, it dares to ask: What if the universe were not a machine but a mind?

走入生命禅院·第三篇：宇宙的起源与生命的奥秘
2025年10月15日 马西莫·英特罗维涅（Massimo Introvigne）
该社群对宇宙与人类起源的阐释，兼具形而上学的玄妙、心理学的深邃与伦理学的光辉。
By Massimo Introvigne
生命禅院悄然孕育出一套完整的形而上学体系。其创始人雪峰导游将道教、佛教与亚伯拉罕诸宗教的智慧融汇一体，编织出宏阔的宇宙图景：从宇宙未启之初，延展至人类的多次创造——人类并非仅被塑造一次，而是由不同神性反复雕琢而生。本文依据雪峰的核心著作及对社区成员的访谈，梳理其起源之理，从无极的玄奥直至东亚精神祖先的源流。
在万物尚未显现之前——时间未启，空间未成，物质与精神皆未生——唯有无极寂然而在。在生命禅院的形而上学中，无极非单纯虚无，而是一种蕴含无限可能的矛盾充盈。它是万物的无形根源，如佛教之“空”，似道教之“未雕之块”，孕育着一切而不见其形。
无极被描绘为超越一切二元对立的境界，此刻，对立尚未生起。它是永恒的存在，因为时间依赖于运动，而运动又依赖于形态。正如雪峰所言：“若地球未曾诞生，地球可有时间乎？若宇宙未曾开初，宇宙又何来时间？不有也。这，便是无极之中的时间。”
为了阐释无极的本质，雪峰引用了16世纪中国小说《西游记》中的一幕：孙悟空被困在一个随他体型而伸缩的神奇钹中。无极，亦如这钹，既无边无际，又微小至极——其广狭随物质的有无而生灭，显现着无限的玄妙。
从无极中，太极诞生，这是首个有结构的能量形态。太极被形容为“锁住的蓄水池，蕴含亿亿太平洋”，喻示其无尽的潜能。当混沌开始整理，第一道潜能的“龙卷风”在中心涌现。正如雪峰所言：“在宇宙尚未诞生之前，‘某物’已存在。此‘某物’即太极，是上帝的心灵能量。”
这个中心点在巨大的能量压力下渐渐转化，如同受精卵在子宫中孕育意识一般，能量之核化为有形的实体。结构一旦生成，觉知便随之而来。于是，上帝诞生了——并非披着长袍的神祇，而是第一个从太极能量矩阵中涌现的纯粹意识。
这位上帝从未静止。太极的能量在其意识周围缓缓旋转，生出运动与极性，渐渐孕育出空间与时间。“上帝诞生之后，‘两极’悄然分明，天体初现，运行不息；无限的空间由此延展开来，时间也悄然苏醒，一切便步入生生死死、循环往复的流转之中。”
太极孕育出“两极”——存在与虚无、阴与阳、光明与黑暗。由这对对立而生，四方渐次显现，天地方位有序；再由四方演化，化作《易经》中神秘而深邃的八卦，蕴含宇宙运行的玄奥规律。
这些卦，远非单纯的符号，它们是能量的原型，宇宙的脉动在其中回响。排列组合之间，化作六十四卦——雪峰认为，这其中暗藏着宇宙的根本法则。万物的生与死、无尽的奥秘，以及宇宙中一切变化与运动，都潜伏在这六十四卦的序列之中，却对凡人隐而不显。即便是中国最有成就的道士，也仅知其中零星；释迦牟尼掌握其半，而耶稣略多于他一点——这便是“天机不可泄露”的深意。
在确立了这一形而上的宇宙框架之后，生命禅院的视线转向现代科学。禅院认为，进化论尚未完整，甚至自有其迷雾与自欺。雪峰导游指出过渡化石的缺失，质疑复杂生命结构能否仅凭随机突变而生成——在他眼中，生命的奥秘远比纯粹的偶然更加深邃。
他将寒武纪大爆发视作突发创造的印证：“仿佛一夜春雨过后，蘑菇在沟渠与草地间骤然涌现，这绝非缓慢渐进的自然演变。”他又指向蜂巢的几何精妙与动物的天赋本能，认为这些奇迹般的秩序与智慧，是进化难以解释的神秘之光。
他说道：“《生命禅院》的诞生标志着进化论已经‘绝对失败’了。进化论不能证明人类的起源。人类绝对不是进化来的。”
生命禅院并未完全否定《圣经》中亚当与夏娃的叙述，而是将其视作一段局部的寓言。生命禅院认为，《创世纪》描绘的，是以色列人的起源，而非全人类的诞生。书中该隐惧怕报复的描写，暗示着亚当家族之外，尚有其他人类在这片世界中行走。
雪峰写道：“若《圣经》记载的是事实，那么，当时除了亚当一家人之外，必定还有其他人存在，且早已存在，不然的话，该隐就不会说：‘凡遇见我的必杀我。’既然已经有人存在，且不是来自亚当夏娃（因为亚当夫妇当时只有该隐和亚伯两个儿子，且亚伯被他的哥哥该隐杀了），那么，亚当夏娃就不是全人类的祖先，既然亚当夏娃不是全人类的祖先，那么，《圣经》记载的只是以色列民族的起源和事实。《圣经》记载的只是中东地区人类的起源，而绝对不是整个人类的起源。”
这一观点为多源血脉的人类起源理论开启了广阔的想象之门。
在创造宇宙之后，上帝将这无垠的宇宙交付诸神管理——那些由能量凝聚而成的意识化身。在众多神灵之中，耶稣与撒旦成为掌管地球宇宙的两大主宰，他们象征着对立的力量：光明与黑暗、善良与残酷、平凡与非凡。
雪峰挑战了传统观念中，将撒旦视为“吞噬生命的恶魔”的偏见。他认为：“这是对其极大的误解与不公。实际上，撒旦忠诚而尽责地履行着自己的神圣使命。”的确，撒旦的职责在于阻止众生轻易踏入生命的更高境界。然而，在生命禅院的二元论视野中——让人联想起古老的诺斯替文献——撒旦与耶稣同样是维系宇宙平衡不可或缺的存在。
上帝又创造了天使来协助诸神。这些存有的能量低于神，是传令者与助手。在时间的流转中，天使逐渐分化为两大派系：倾向撒旦的天使化作佛，承载觉悟与智慧；倾向耶稣的天使化作天仙，散发慈悲与神光。
雪峰解释道：“佛者，是不是人的‘人’。”佛拥有超凡力量，却易染傲慢之气。相比之下，天仙性情温和，喜爱欢愉，亲近自然，仿佛与天地共舞。
根据生命禅院的记载，耶稣在数亿天仙的协助下，于四十五亿年前引领了太阳系的诞生。天仙们精心设计地球的生态体系，塑造月亮以稳固行星的轨道，并借助神秘飞行器（UFO)，将生命的种子播洒于宇宙间。
“我们现在偶尔看到的飞碟(UFO)不是来自外太空，而是来自月球中心，月球的中心是个巨大的仓库，里面有许多当时天仙们使用过的‘工具’，飞碟就是‘工具’之一，月球有一扇门，可随时开启，神秘的百慕大三角区下面有一个巨大的‘宫殿’，是天仙们在地球上的临时‘旅馆’，根据需要，天仙们可以随时‘遥控’月球内部的‘飞碟’对地球进行探察访问。”
然而，因忌妒天仙们的幸福，撒旦派遣佛下凡于地球，释放了诸多破坏性的生灵——食肉猛兽、嗡嗡蚊虫、蜿蜒毒蛇，甚至恐龙横行。上帝以瘟疫回应，将恐龙大举消灭，唯有两只幸存于东海深处，后化作人类的形态，再度步入世间。
大约一百六十万年前，上帝孕育出一种全新的生命形态——人类。天仙曾在埃及的实验室中进行创造尝试，金字塔便是这些努力留下的神秘印记。早期的原型源自猴类与猿类。最终，他们塑造了三大人类族群：非洲的黑人、美洲的原住民，以及欧洲的白人。
与此同时，另一位神在靠近耶路撒冷的伊甸园秘密花园中塑造了亚当与夏娃。他们的后裔渐渐遍布中东大地。于是，该隐的恐惧便显得合情合理——因为在那时，世界上已存在其他人类与他同在。
据生命禅院记载，东亚与东南亚的人类并非由神直接创造，而是由那两只幸存的恐龙演化而来。这些生物逐渐化为人形，沿黄河流域扩散开来。这也为中国人对龙的崇敬，以及自称“龙的传人”的文化缘由，赋予了神秘的源头。
佛教起源于印度，并因特定血脉的缘故，在东亚找到了肥沃的生长土壤。释迦牟尼的祖先曾从印度迁至黄河流域。然而，印度人的血统本就混杂——一条龙的后裔迁徙至此，与亚当与夏娃的后代联姻融合。“当地印度人由于不属于同一个造物主创造，所以很难接受释迦牟尼佛的理论，他们的潜意识中对佛国没有遗传记忆，所以，尽管佛教费了很大的努力，最终还是失败了。”
《圣经》和中国传说中记载的大洪水，是一次神圣的重置。这是第二次天界的更新，而第一次重置则消灭了那些更强壮、更高大的古人类——他们曾在埃及、亚特兰蒂斯与玛雅城建立辉煌的中心。这些人类残忍而自私，甚至攀升至更高层次的天堂——“万年界”与“极乐界”，却在那里搅动纷争，制造混乱。
于是，上帝将他们毁灭，仅留下地球上少数“体形弱小，智力低下的人种”。为安慰这些幸存者，上帝建造了一个较低层次的乐园——一颗距离九百六十光年的行星，被称为“千年界”。凡行善者，死后皆可升入此处，享受天赐的安宁。
然而，人类再次骄傲自满，忽视上帝的旨意，沉溺于物质与欲望之中。约在四千七百年前，上帝倾斜了地球的轴线，风暴肆虐大地，洪水吞没了绝大多数生命，天地间再度陷入浩劫。
然而，世界仍有幸存者，他们并不仅限于诺亚与其家人。关于洪水与人类幸存的传说，在各地文化中流传——从东方的中国，到遥远的美洲，无不留下相似的记忆与叙事。
生命禅院的宇宙论，兼具形而上学、心理学与伦理学的深意。它描绘了层次分明的创造秩序、人类意识的脉络，以及人类多样性的源流。它既挑战科学的正统观念，又融汇古代中国智慧与全球宗教的视野，宛如一幅跨越时空的宇宙画卷。
无论人们是否采纳其主张，生命禅院都呈现出一个连贯且自洽的世界观。它既是一部意识的宇宙论，也是一部精神的人类学，更是一部形而上学的工程手册——三者融汇于一。于这个渴求意义的世界中，它勇敢地提出一个深邃的问题：若宇宙非如机械般运转，而是一种心智，会是怎样的景象？
