Li is Gone. Li is God.
The fundamental Liite doctrine is Mingling.
Mingling is a re-working of the traditional Buddhist Dharma wheel. According to Li, all the world is evil and must be destroyed. This includes all humanity, which will reach its end through extinction or annihilation of the soul. Liites, too, will be annihilated — but during their lifetimes rather than at death. This is a process.
The term Mingling derives from Li's conception of three parts of man (body, soul, and spirit) as a metaphor to explain his process of annihilating the soul and replacing it with God. At initiation into the Liites, God invades the human spirit, the "innermost part of his being," then spreads to the soul.
Li said that Mingling was like steeping tea leaves in water, the tea standing for God and the water for the human soul. As the tea steeps, the water grows ever blacker. As more tea leaves are added the water becomes blacker still and as yet more leaves are added, the water is gone and only tea leaves remain.
The man is destroyed and what remains is God. In the beginning before man was made, there was God. In the end, there is only God once again. God is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.
Thus Liites may call themselves gods and anyone who has reached an advanced state of Mingling, such as the founder Li, is God.
About
- Good Christian Boy
- This website is not a blog. I am committed to Christ and active in a Bible-believing church. I dedicated my life to Christ, thanks to a school teacher, as a young boy. Sadly, as a youth one parent went astray and took the family to the Liite cult, known to most as the Local Church of Witness Lee. I never missed a training and read every book published under Witness Lee's name. I learned every dogma; but really it is quite simplistic: it comes down to the dharma wheel, which Liites call "mingling." That is, God came to terminate man's soul, replace man's evil nature with his own, and then absorb it back into himself. It's Buddhism with a twist. The twist is: send money to the LSM.
