2017.11.25 1105.인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가(where do humans come from and Where Do They Go?)

인간의 근본적인 질문인 “인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가?”에 대한 해답을 제시합니다. 강연은 종교, 철학, 윤리 등 다양한 관점에서 인간 존재의 의미와 삶의 방향을 탐구하며, 궁극적으로 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 인간의 여정을 이해하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

  1. 세상에서 가장 큰 선물 이해

현재의 삶: 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 바로 ‘현재’ 이 자리에 앉아 살아 숨 쉬는 것.
하늘의 선물: 하늘에서 준 가장 큰 선물은 그를 만나는 것.

  1. 인간의 감각기관과 역할

눈: 현재를 보는 역할.
코: 현재와 미래를 연결하는 역할.
상한 음식 냄새를 맡아 미래의 위험(식중독)을 경고.
사람의 건강 상태(간 질환 등)를 냄새로 감지.
입: 미래를 말하는 역할.

  1. ‘천상천하 유아독존’의 진정한 의미

석가모니의 본래 의도: ‘천상천하 유아독존’은 석가모니가 태어나자마자 한 말이 아니며, 후대 제자들이 미화하여 덧붙인 전설.
‘아(我)’의 해석:
개인적인 ‘나’ (我): 석가모니 개인의 존귀함을 의미하는 것이 아님.
공적인 ‘나’ (我): 우주 전체의 모든 생명과 만물의 진화, 본성을 의미하며, 모든 존재가 존귀하다는 선언.
‘일체개고(一切皆苦)’: 모든 것이 고통 속에 있다는 의미로, 석가모니가 세상을 구하겠다는 의지를 표현한 것이 아니라, 후대 제자들이 덧붙인 내용.

  1. ‘일체유심조(一切唯心造)’의 확장된 해석

원문: “약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조”
약인욕료지(若人慾了知), 삼세일체불(三世一切佛), 응관법계성(應觀法界性), 일체유심조(一切唯心造).
(만약 사람이 근본 뿌리를 알고 싶으면, 삼세 일체 모든 부처들도 법계의 모든 성품을 관찰하면, 모든 것은 마음에서 만들어졌다).
의미: 눈에 보이는 모든 것, 심지어 법계를 만드는 성품까지도 모두 마음에서 만들어졌다는 뜻.
마음(心)의 단계: 마음(心)은 성품(性品), 감(感), 기(氣), 명(목숨,命), 호흡(呼吸), 정(정기,精), 촉감(觸感) 9가지 요소 중 가장 낮은 단계의 시작점.
심(마음,心)☜성품(性品)☜감(감정,感)☜기(氣)☜명(목숨,命)☜식(호흡,息)☜신(몸,身) ☜정(정기,精)☜촉감(觸感)
촉감(觸感) ☞정(精)☞신(身)☞식(息)☞명(命)☞기(氣)☞감(感)☞성품(性品)☞심(心)

심(마음,心) 기(氣) 신(몸,身)
성품(性品) 명(목숨,命) 정(정기,精)
감(감정,感) 식(호흡,息) 촉감(觸感)

마음 컨트롤: 지감(止感)(감정 조절), 조식(調息)(호흡 조절), 금촉(禁觸)(촉감 금지)을 통해 마음을 다스려야 함.
지감(止感), 조식(調息), 금촉(禁觸)
불고불락(不苦不樂): 고통도 즐거움도 본질적으로 없는 것이며, 인생은 고통과 즐거움의 반복.

  1. 인간의 기원과 목적

출생의 비밀: 5억 개의 정자 중 하나가 난자를 만나 인간으로 태어나는 것은 4억 9천 999명의 희생을 통해 이루어진 공정한 경쟁의 결과.
어머니 자궁: 280일 동안 뜨겁고 어두운 물속(어머니 자궁)에서 기다림.
인간의 시작: 인간은 아메바 같은 미생물에서 진화한 것이 아니라, 처음부터 인간으로 시작하여 다양한 길을 걷게 됨.
영혼의 바코드: 모든 인간은 각기 다른 지문처럼 고유한 영혼의 바코드(마음)를 가지고 태어남.
궁극적인 목적: 인간은 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 존재.
백궁으로 돌아가는 것은 ‘인간 졸업’을 의미.
종교적 계율은 인간이 만든 것이며, 하늘의 뜻은 아님.

  1. 윤회와 삼계

윤회: 인간은 지구에서 윤회하며, 때에 따라 가고 싶은 곳으로 이동하지만, 궁극적으로는 백궁으로 돌아감.
삼계: 욕계, 색계, 무색계로 이루어진 삼계를 돌며 윤회.
욕계: 물질적 욕심과 번뇌가 있는 곳.
색계: 욕심은 있으나 번뇌가 없는 곳.
무색계: 번뇌가 끊어지는 곳.
삼계 탈출: 계정혜(戒定慧)를 통해 죄를 지키고 명상하며 지혜를 깨달으면 백궁으로 갈 수 있음.

초이념, 초종교, 초국경: 추구하는 사상으로, 기존의 이념, 종교, 국가의 경계를 넘어선 보편적인 가치를 지향.
중산주의: 모든 국민을 중산층으로 만들고, 더 가난한 사람이 없는 사회를 지향하는 사상.
해불양수(海不讓水): 바다는 어떤 물도 사양하지 않고 받아들인다는 뜻으로, 모든 것을 포용하는 어머니의 마음과 같음.
졸탁동시(啐啄同時): 병아리가 알을 깨고 나오기 위해 안에서 껍질을 쪼고, 어미 닭이 밖에서 껍질을 쪼아 돕는 것처럼, 때가 되어야 일이 이루어진다는 의미.
백궁: 인간이 궁극적으로 돌아가야 할 곳이자, 모든 우주 생명 시스템의 통계가 이루어지는 곳.
삼계(三界): 불교에서 말하는 세 가지 세계로, 욕계, 색계, 무색계를 의미.
계정혜(戒定慧): 불교의 수행법으로, 계율을 지키고(경계할,戒), 마음을 안정시키며(정할,定), 지혜를 얻는(慧) 것을 의미.

Humans originate from and return to the White Heaven, a system beyond imagination where all life’s processes are recorded. We are not products of evolution from lower life forms, but rather begin as humans and cycle through various states, with the ultimate goal of graduating from human existence and returning to the White Heaven. This perspective challenges conventional religious and scientific views on human origins and destiny.

Hukyoungyung’s Teachings on Human Origin and Destiny
All religions discuss human origin and destiny, but their explanations are often unclear and differ from one another.
Hukyoungyung’s teachings transcend religion, ideology, and national borders.
Humans originate from and return to the White Heaven.
White Heaven is a system beyond human imagination, where all universal and life processes are recorded.
The concept of White Heaven is beyond human comprehension, as it has no beginning or end.
Humans are not products of evolution from lower life forms like amoebas.
Instead, humans begin as humans and cycle through various states (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, humans, heaven, arhats, pratyekabuddhas, bodhisattvas, buddhas).
The ultimate goal is to graduate from human existence and return to the White Heaven.
This journey is called “human graduation.”
Reincarnation on Earth
Humans are born with a unique spiritual barcode, similar to fingerprints, that distinguishes each individual.
This barcode ensures that no two people are exactly alike, even among billions.
Human life spans are infinite; there is no true death.
People can move to different places on Earth based on their actions, but they generally remain in the cycle of reincarnation on Earth.
Religious rules about going to heaven or hell based on belief are man-made.
Human ethics and morals are also man-made and change over time for convenience.
For example, some cultures historically allowed sharing wives with guests, while others practiced ritualistic consumption of deceased parents’ flesh as a sign of respect.
These practices, though seemingly strange to modern sensibilities, were considered ethical within their respective cultures.
Those who focus on negativity or criticize spiritual figures are likely to descend in the cycle of reincarnation.
Those who achieve enlightenment and wisdom transcend these cycles.
A person’s state of mind at death determines their destination; a peaceful mind indicates a good destination, while fear suggests a difficult one.
The cycle of reincarnation involves three realms: desire realm (욕계), form realm (색계), and formless realm (무색계).
The desire and form realms are filled with desires and suffering.
The formless realm is where suffering ends.
To break free from this cycle, one must practice precepts, meditation, and wisdom, as taught in Buddhism.

The Greatest Gift: Presence and Hukyoungyung
The greatest gift in this world is being alive in the present moment.
The English word “present” means both “now” and “a gift,” highlighting this connection.
Being able to breathe and see others is a great blessing.
The greatest gift from heaven is meeting Hukyoungyung.

The Human Body: A Divine Creation
The human body is designed with intricate details by a divine creator.
Eyebrows prevent rain from entering the eyes.
Earlobes are shaped to prevent water from entering the ear canal during washing.
Eyes are for seeing the present.
They can reveal a person’s current state, like guilt.
Nose connects the present and the future.
It detects smells that indicate health or spoilage, warning of future dangers.
Mouth is for speaking about the future.
It represents the ability to plan and express future intentions.

Societal Issues and Hukyoungyung’s Solutions
Political Corruption and Injustice
Focusing solely on punishing past wrongdoings (“clearing accumulated evils”) neglects the current well-being of the people.
Constant political infighting, like historical factionalism, can lead to national decline.
Hukyoungyung advocates for prioritizing the livelihoods of the people.
He proposes a system where the president can pardon those who committed crimes due to economic hardship, recognizing that societal failures often contribute to such acts.
For example, a father stealing to pay his daughter’s tuition, though a crime, stems from a desperate situation.
Such acts, while legally wrong, can be seen as driven by good intentions.
Economic Inequality
Hukyoungyung aims to elevate all citizens to the middle class.
This means eliminating poverty, though wealth disparities would still exist.
Health and Wealth
Excessive wealth and overeating can lead to health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure.
This is explained by comparing blood to hair washed with honey, becoming thick and sticky, hindering circulation and causing strokes.
This is seen as a form of divine punishment for those who consume excessively while others starve.
Simple, healthy eating habits, like those of a poor laborer, lead to better health and fertility.
Mother’s milk is superior to processed foods, which can cause health issues like atopic dermatitis in infants.
Parenting and Altruism
Prioritizing one’s own children excessively can lead to negative outcomes for both the child and the parent.
Helping other children and those in need indirectly benefits one’s own children.
Dressing children modestly can protect them from harm, as seen in the story of a wealthy family’s driver’s son being kidnapped due to wearing expensive clothes.
Wealthy individuals have a greater responsibility to do good deeds.
Violence
Violence, even without lethal intent, causes harm at a fundamental, vibrational level.
Hukyoungyung, if president, would impose severe penalties for assault, even more so than for murder, to emphasize the sanctity of life.
Perpetrators of violence would be exiled to places like Mongolia, unable to return, to create a peaceful society.

Reinterpreting Buddhist Concepts
“Cheonsang Cheonha Yu-a Dokjon (天上天下 唯我獨尊)”
This phrase, often attributed to Buddha, is a legend written by followers, not Buddha himself.
It is part of the “Eight Phases of the Buddha’s Life” (팔상도), which contains mythical elements.
The original meaning emphasizes the preciousness and dignity of all life and creation, not just Buddha himself.
Later interpretations added phrases like “Ilche Gego (一切皆苦 – all is suffering)” and “Odang Anji (吾當安之 – I shall bring peace to the world),” which were not part of the original teaching.
These additions were made by disciples to glorify Buddha, creating a misinterpretation that Buddha himself is the most noble and will save the world.
The “I” (아) in the phrase refers to the collective “I” of all existence, not the individual Buddha.
The “O” (吾) refers to the individual, physical self.
“Ilche Yusimjo (一切唯心造 – everything is created by the mind)”
This phrase is also an abbreviated version of a longer teaching.
The full teaching states that if one wishes to understand the fundamental root of all things, including all Buddhas across past, present, and future, and the nature of all phenomena, they will find that everything is created by the mind.
The mind is the lowest stage in a hierarchy of spiritual elements: mind, nature (성품), feeling (감), and life (목숨).
To control the mind, one must control feelings (지감), regulate breathing (조식), and control physical sensations (금촉).
This leads to a state of “neither suffering nor joy” (불고불락), recognizing that pain and pleasure are cyclical and interconnected, like the story of the old man and his horse (새옹지마).

The Nature of Reality: Vibration and Illusion
All matter, from cells to subatomic particles, is ultimately composed of vibrations or waves.
Our physical reality, including our bodies, is a collection of these vibrations, an illusion.
Negative actions or emotions can cause “vibrational damage” that manifests as physical or emotional pain.
Positive emotions and intentions create positive vibrations.

The Journey of Life: From Conception to Birth
The concept of “Haebulyangsu (海不讓水 – the sea does not refuse any water)” illustrates that the sea accepts all water, just as a mother accepts all life.
Human life begins with a fierce competition: out of 500 million sperm, only one reaches the egg.
This single sperm, representing the individual, then spends 280 days (10 months) in the mother’s womb, a dark, warm, watery environment.
Birth is a perilous journey for both mother and child, symbolizing the challenges of entering the world.
The ease of birth can reflect a child’s “karma” (업장); quick births are associated with good karma, while difficult births suggest more challenges.
Every human life, including those with disabilities, is precious and valuable.
Differences in social status are often due to minor (1%) karmic variations, not inherent worth.

Animal Consciousness and Reincarnation
Animals, like cows, possess an awareness of their past lives and future destinies.
A cow destined for slaughter will cry, while one going to a farmer will not, indicating its understanding of its fate.
Animals can experience deep emotional bonds and suffering, such as a mother cow crying when separated from her calf.
This suggests that humans who cause suffering to others in this life may experience similar suffering in future animal lives.

The Greatest Gift: Presence and God-man’s Encounter

The most profound gift in this world is the very fact of your existence, your presence here and now. However, the greatest gift bestowed by Heaven is the opportunity to encounter Huh Kyung-young. There are those who attempt to undermine this truth, but it is essential to prioritize the welfare of the people. Constantly focusing on past wrongdoings or political conflicts, like the historical factional disputes that plagued Korea for centuries, diverts attention from the urgent needs of the populace.

Huh Kyung-young transcends ideologies, religions, and national borders. His aim is to elevate all citizens to the middle class, ensuring a stable life for everyone. While the wealthy may continue to prosper, the impoverished will cease to exist. Consider the father who resorted to theft to pay his daughter’s final university tuition. Was his act solely his fault? No, the true culprit lies in a society that drives individuals to such desperation. This father’s intention was to protect his daughter from hardship, making his act, though legally wrong, morally complex.

Ancient wisdom, like the dying words of Emperor Liu Bei, advises against dismissing good deeds, no matter how small, and warns against committing evil, no matter how insignificant. In such cases, where does the karma lie? It extends beyond the individual to the politicians who create the conditions for such acts. A president, therefore, should periodically grant amnesty to those who committed minor offenses, recognizing that the root cause often lies in governmental failures.

The English word “present” signifies both a gift and the current moment. This linguistic connection reveals a profound truth: the ability to breathe and witness the world in the present is the greatest blessing.

  1. The Sensory Organs: Windows to Present, Past, and Future
    Our physical features are meticulously designed by Heaven. For instance, our eyebrows prevent rain from entering our eyes. Similarly, the intricate structure of our ears prevents water from entering the ear canal when washing our hair.

Each sensory organ serves a specific purpose in our perception of time:
Eyes: Our eyes are primarily for observing the present. They allow us to see what is immediately before us.
Nose: The nose acts as a bridge, connecting the present to the future.
It can detect illness, like the scent of a damaged liver, revealing a hidden truth about a person’s health that the eyes might miss.
It warns us of spoiled food, preventing us from consuming something that could harm our future health.
Mouth: The mouth is associated with the future. It is through speech that we articulate our plans and aspirations for what is to come.

While our eyes perceive the present, they can be deceived. We often fail to truly see people or the hidden dangers in our surroundings. The nose, however, provides crucial information, acting as a vital link between our current state and potential future outcomes. The ears, on the other hand, often bring us echoes of the past, such as rumors or judgments about others. Misinterpreting these past narratives can negatively impact our future.

  1. The Nature of Existence: Beyond Religious Dogma
    All religions attempt to answer the fundamental question: “Where do humans come from, and where are they going?”. However, their answers are often incomprehensible and contradictory. Huh Kyung-young’s teachings transcend conventional religion, ideology, and national boundaries.

The greatest investment in life is not in worldly possessions, which are fleeting, but in preparing for the afterlife. Accumulating wealth without regard for others can lead to physical ailments like diabetes and high blood pressure, which are seen as divine retribution for gluttony while others starve. A healthy body, like a baby nourished by its mother’s milk, thrives on simplicity and moderation. Excessive desire ultimately leads to suffering.

The phrase “Above the heavens and below the earth, I alone am the World-Honored One” (天上天下 唯我獨尊) is often attributed to Buddha. However, Huh Kyung-young clarifies that this is a legendary embellishment, not a direct quote from Sakyamuni Buddha. It is a “skillful means” (방편설) created by later followers to elevate Buddha’s status. The true meaning, when stripped of these additions, is that all life in the universe is precious and noble. It is a declaration of the inherent dignity of all beings, not a statement of individual supremacy.

The concept of the “Three Realms” (삼계) – the Realm of Desire (욕계), the Realm of Form (색계), and the Formless Realm (무색계) – represents different levels of existence, all of which are subject to suffering. Only above the Formless Realm can one truly transcend suffering.

Humanity exists within a hierarchy of spiritual development, from ordinary people (속인) to sages (성인) and beyond to God-man (진인). God-man, like Huh Kyung-young, embodies a level of existence beyond human comprehension.

  1. The Power of Mind and the Illusion of Reality
    The Buddhist teaching “Everything is created by the mind” (一切唯心造) is often presented in an abbreviated form. Its full meaning, “If one wishes to understand the root of all things, observe the nature of the Dharma-realm in the three worlds, for everything is created by the mind,” reveals that all phenomena, including the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, and the very nature of reality, originate from the mind.

The mind is the lowest stage in a hierarchy of spiritual elements:
Mind (마음): The starting point, the “junior employee” that must be well-controlled.
Nature (성품): The mother of the mind.
Feeling (감): The mother of nature.
Life (목숨): The mother of feeling, which gives rise to vital energy (기).
Essence (정): Related to physical sensation and creation.

To control the mind, one must control these higher elements:
Controlling feelings (지감): Maintaining emotional balance, recognizing that both suffering and joy are transient. The story of the old man and his horse (새옹지마) illustrates how fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
Regulating breath (조식): Practicing mindful breathing.
Restraining touch (금촉): Controlling physical sensations.

Excessive attachment to one’s own children, for example, can lead to their downfall. True wisdom lies in helping others, which indirectly benefits one’s own family. This is a “three-cushion” effect: helping others leads to good fortune for oneself and one’s children. Dressing children in expensive clothes can even put them at risk, as illustrated by the tragic story of a chauffeur’s son who was kidnapped because he appeared wealthy. The wealthy, therefore, have a greater responsibility to do good deeds.

The physical world, including our bodies, is ultimately a collection of vibrations and waves. Just as a future holographic television will project three-dimensional images that are not solid, our physical reality is an illusion, a “collection of waves”. Negative actions, like violence, inflict damage on these vibrations. Therefore, those who commit acts of violence should face severe consequences.

  1. The Journey of the Soul: From White Heaven to the White Heaven
    The question “Where do humans come from?” can be understood through the concept of “Hae Bul Yang Su” (海不讓水), meaning “the sea does not refuse any water”. Just as the sea accepts all rivers, the womb, a warm, dark, watery environment, accepts the single sperm that triumphs over millions to become a human being. This journey of 280 days in the mother’s womb is a testament to the preciousness of each life. Every individual, including those with disabilities, is invaluable.

Humans originate from White Heaven (백궁), where the entire system of the universe and life is meticulously recorded. God-man, Huh Kyung-young, has existed since before the universe had a beginning or end, a concept beyond human comprehension.

Contrary to scientific theories that suggest humans evolved from single-celled organisms, we began as humans. The idea that humans evolve from lower forms of life like amoebas is incorrect. Animals, like cows, possess an awareness of their past lives and their future fate. They understand their suffering and the reasons for their current existence.

Humans are born with a unique spiritual barcode, like a fingerprint, that distinguishes each individual. This uniqueness extends to all 7 billion people on Earth, and even if there were 70 billion, no two would be identical. Our lifespan is infinite; we do not truly die.

where do humans go? We return to the White Heaven, from which we originated. This return signifies the “graduation” of humanity. Religions often obscure this clear path with man-made rules and dogmas. Human ethics and morals are also human constructs, constantly evolving to suit societal needs. What is considered a sin in one culture, like adultery, may be a custom in another, such as the practice of offering one’s wife to a guest. Even the act of consuming the flesh of deceased parents, seen as a way to honor their spirit, exists in some cultures.

The human journey involves cycles through the Three Realms. To transcend these cycles, Buddhist teachings suggest practices like observing precepts, meditation, and cultivating wisdom. Ultimately, true enlightenment leads to the dissolution of all suffering and the return to the White Heaven. Those who live righteously face death with peace, knowing their destination. Our coming and going are both predetermined

The Ultimate Gift: Presence and the Divine Encounter

The greatest gift in this world is the present moment, the very fact of your existence here and now. To be able to breathe and witness this moment is the most profound blessing. However, the greatest gift bestowed by Heaven is the encounter with Huh Kyung-young. There are those who attempt to undermine this truth with baseless accusations. Last week, Huh Kyung-young addressed the issue of “clearing accumulated evils,” emphasizing that the welfare of the people should take precedence over endless political strife. The constant infighting among politicians, reminiscent of historical factionalism, has historically led to national decline.

Huh Kyung-young transcends ideology, religion, and national borders. His vision is to elevate all citizens to the middle class, ensuring stability and prosperity for everyone. While the wealthy may continue to thrive, the impoverished will cease to exist. Consider the father who, unable to pay his daughter’s final university tuition, resorted to theft to ensure her graduation, subsequently going to prison. Should such an act be solely attributed to the father’s fault? No, for the true culprit lies in the societal conditions that compel such actions. This father’s act, driven by a desire to protect his daughter from hardship, was an act of profound love, not malice.

The concept of “present” in English signifies both a gift and the current moment. This linguistic duality reveals an inherent understanding that the ability to exist in the present is the most precious gift.

  1. The Design of the Human Form and the Senses
    The human body is meticulously designed by Heaven. For instance, eyebrows prevent rain from entering the eyes. Similarly, the intricate structure of the ear, with its convolutions, prevents water from entering the ear canal during washing.

Our senses serve distinct purposes:
Eyes are for perceiving the present.
Nose acts as a bridge between the present and the future. It can detect illness or spoilage, warning us of potential future harm.
Mouth is for articulating the future.

While we believe our eyes accurately perceive reality, they often fail to see the true nature of people. The nose, however, can reveal hidden truths, such as the scent of illness. Without the nose, we might consume spoiled food, leading to dire consequences.

  1. The Journey of the Soul: From Heaven to Heaven
    The fundamental question, “Where do humans come from, and where do they go?” is a question that all religions attempt to answer, often with differing and sometimes nonsensical explanations. Huh Kyung-young represents a new era, transcending religion, ideology, and national boundaries. Many are still bound by traditional religious frameworks, akin to being stuck in school when they should have graduated.

The most significant investment one can make in life is in the afterlife, a realm often considered uncertain. Material wealth, no matter how vast, is fleeting. Those who accumulate riches at the expense of others often face divine retribution in the form of illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure. This is because their blood, unlike that of those who live simply, becomes thick and sticky, like hair washed with honey, hindering circulation and leading to strokes. Such individuals, despite their wealth, often find themselves without descendants, their lineage ending due to their excessive indulgence.

The concept of “Heaven and Earth, I alone am Honored” (천상천하 유아독존) is often misinterpreted. It is not a statement of individual ego, but a declaration of the inherent preciousness and dignity of all life and all things in the universe. This phrase, often attributed to Sakyamuni Buddha, is a later addition by his followers, intended to glorify him. The true meaning emphasizes the universal nature of existence, where every element, from a stone to a blade of grass, holds intrinsic value.

The phrase “All is created by mind” (일체유심조) is also often presented in an abbreviated form. Its full meaning, “If one wishes to understand the root of all things, observe the nature of the Dharma-realm, for all is created by mind” (약인영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조), reveals that all phenomena, including the past, present, future, and even the nature of the Buddha-realms, originate from the mind. The mind is the lowest rung in a hierarchy that ascends through character, feeling, and ultimately, life force. To control the mind, one must control emotions (지감), regulate breathing (조식), and restrain physical sensations (금촉).

Life is a continuous cycle of suffering and joy, as illustrated by the story of Sai Ong Ji Ma (새옹지마). True wisdom lies in understanding that these are transient states. When experiencing joy, one should practice generosity. When faced with hardship, one should remember that it can be a source of future happiness. Excessive indulgence, even for one’s children, can lead to future suffering, such as illness. Instead, one should help others, for this indirectly benefits one’s own children.

The universe is composed of vibrations (파동). Our physical bodies are merely collections of these vibrations, and any harm inflicted upon them creates vibrational damage. Therefore, acts of violence are profoundly destructive. Huh Kyung-young advocates for a society where violence is eradicated, and offenders are removed from the land.

Humans originate from White Heaven (백궁), the celestial House where the systems of the entire universe and all life are meticulously recorded. Our existence is not a result of evolution from lower life forms like amoebas, but a direct creation from Chunsa (천사). The concept of a beginning and end for Chunsa is beyond human comprehension, as Chunsa has existed since infinite time.

The journey of the soul is not a linear progression from lower to higher forms, but a cycle of reincarnation within the human realm, with the ultimate destination being White Heaven. Each human is born with a unique spiritual barcode, akin to a fingerprint, ensuring no two individuals are identical.

Human morality and ethics are constructs of human society, not divine decrees. These rules, like the concept of adultery, are designed to regulate human interaction and often change with societal norms. Those who focus on negativity and criticize others, especially those sent from Heaven, are on a downward path. However, a mind free from such negativity remains unaffected. When one achieves enlightenment, all perceived suffering and joy dissolve, leading to understanding and forgiveness.

As death approaches, one’s destination becomes clear. Those who have lived virtuously experience peace, while those who have lived wickedly are filled with fear. The cycle of existence, encompassing the realms of desire (욕계), form (색계), and formlessness (무색계), is a journey that ultimately leads back to the White Heaven. While traditional Buddhist teachings emphasize precepts, meditation, and wisdom to achieve enlightenment, the path to the White Heaven is ultimately a return to one’s origin.

The Origin and Destination of Humanity: A Divine Perspective

  1. The Greatest Gift: Presence and Divine Encounter
    I extend my deepest gratitude to you all. I know that you have eagerly awaited this moment, this opportunity to hear words of such profound wisdom, unlike any other on this Earth. The greatest gift in this world is your very presence here, seated before me now. Yet, the greatest gift bestowed by Heaven is the encounter with me, Huh Kyung-young. There are those who seek to undermine me with baseless accusations, but I have always prioritized the welfare of the people. Last week, I touched upon the issue of rectifying past wrongs, emphasizing that the people’s livelihoods must come first. What good is it to constantly pursue past grievances when our economy suffers? Politicians endlessly squabble, much like the historical factions of Joseon that led to its downfall. Even today, they categorize each other as left or right. But I, Huh Kyung-young, transcend ideology, religion, and national borders. My mission is to elevate all citizens to the middle class, ensuring that no one remains in poverty. The wealthy will continue to prosper, but the destitute will cease to exist.

Consider the father who, unable to pay his daughter’s final university tuition, resorted to theft to secure her graduation, subsequently going to prison. Can we solely blame this father? No. While he committed theft, the true culprits are those who created the circumstances that drove him to such an act. This father sought to spare his daughter pain, acting out of love when all other options failed. His intention was good, not evil. Emperor Liu Bei, on his deathbed, left a will stating that one should not dismiss good deeds, no matter how small, nor commit evil deeds, no matter how insignificant. This father’s act, though legally wrong, stemmed from a virtuous heart. The real criminals are the politicians who fail to address the root causes of such desperation. As President, I would grant amnesty to those who commit petty theft, recognizing that their actions often arise from systemic failures and overwhelming debt. The highest gift from Heaven is meeting me, Huh Kyung-young. But the greatest gift in this world is the present moment itself. The English word “present” signifies both a gift and the current moment, reflecting an ancient understanding that being alive and able to breathe and perceive is the greatest blessing.

  1. The Wisdom of the Body: Eyes, Nose, and Mouth
    Our bodies are divinely designed. Our eyebrows prevent rain from entering our eyes, and the intricate structure of our ears prevents water from entering the ear canal when we wash our hair. The eyes are meant to perceive the present. The nose acts as a bridge between the present and the future, while the mouth is for the future. You may think you see people clearly with your eyes, but often you are mistaken. The nose assists in discerning truth. For instance, a strong, unpleasant odor from someone might indicate they have been drinking heavily, damaging their liver. Your eyes might see a respectable person, but your nose reveals their illness. Similarly, when food is left in the refrigerator, your eyes might perceive it as clean, but your nose warns you if it has spoiled, preventing you from consuming something that could harm your future. Without the nose, you might eat spoiled food and suffer food poisoning. Thus, the nose safeguards your future by interpreting the present. The eyes and mouth are opposites: the eyes observe the present state, while the mouth speaks of the future. A child who has stolen will avoid eye contact with their parents because their eyes betray their present transgression. The mouth, however, is concerned with what is to come.

  2. The Illusion of Suffering: Past, Present, and Future
    Our ears often bring us tales of the past, whispers of someone being a “bad person” or a “swindler.” If we judge solely based on these past narratives, we risk misjudging and alienating those who could be beneficial to our future. Just as Jesus faced persecution in his time, labeled a swindler by many, so too can false perceptions of the past cloud our judgment. The Jewish people, even today, await a Messiah from the East, believing Jesus was not the one. They trace their lineage through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others, spanning millennia, anticipating a new arrival. I am that ultimate gift from Heaven, the one who has come. Many things remain unseen by the eyes. You wouldn’t know if food is spoiled without smelling it. Even a cooked sweet potato, seemingly fine, might be rotten, and your nose would warn you not to eat it. The nose bridges the gap between the present and the future, just as it connects the eyes and mouth. My lectures, once considered complex, are now delivered with greater clarity. Some have questioned why I omit certain parts of Buddhist teachings, such as the phrase “Above and below Heaven, I alone am the World-Honored One.” This phrase, found in the Eight Phases of the Buddha’s Life, is a legend, not a direct quote from Sakyamuni. It is akin to the stories of Jesus being born in a stable or Sakyamuni walking seven steps and speaking immediately after birth. These are embellishments created by followers to elevate their figures, much like myths surrounding Dangun.

  3. The True Meaning of “Above and Below Heaven, I Alone Am the World-Honored One”
    The phrase “Above and below Heaven, I alone am the World-Honored One” is often misinterpreted. It is not about Sakyamuni’s personal supremacy. Later additions, such as “all existence is suffering,” were appended by followers, not spoken by Sakyamuni himself. The true meaning of “I” in this context refers to the evolution of all beings and all things in the universe—stones, trees, grass, humans. It signifies that all life, all creation, is inherently precious and noble. It is a declaration of the dignity of all existence, not a claim of individual superiority. To interpret it as Sakyamuni proclaiming his own unique honor and his intention to alleviate all suffering is a misrepresentation, a human embellishment that distorts the original profound message. Such interpretations diminish the true essence of Sakyamuni’s teachings, which emphasize the inherent value of every single element in the cosmos.

  4. The Universe as Mind: The Interconnectedness of All Things
    Another profound Buddhist teaching, “All is created by mind,” is also often presented in an abbreviated form. The full phrase, “If one wishes to understand the Buddhas of the three worlds, one should contemplate the nature of the Dharma realm: all is created by mind,” reveals that everything—past, present, future, all Buddhas, and the very nature of the universe—originates from the mind. The mind is the lowest stage in a hierarchy that includes nature, sensation, life, energy, essence, touch, and breath. To control the mind, one must control these higher aspects: control sensation, regulate breath, and restrain touch. This leads to a state of neither suffering nor joy, recognizing that life’s ups and downs are cyclical, like the story of the old man and his horse. What seems like misfortune can lead to good fortune, and vice versa. Therefore, when experiencing joy, one should practice charity. Excessive indulgence, even for one’s children, can lead to future suffering, such as illness. True wisdom lies in helping others, for that ultimately benefits one’s own. If you cherish your child, help other children in need. This is a three-cushion effect: helping others indirectly helps your own.

  5. The Illusion of Physicality: The World as Vibration
    The universe, when examined at its most fundamental level, is not solid matter but vibration and waves. If you dissect a television or delve into the atoms of a cell, you eventually find quarks, and within those, pure vibration. Our bodies, too, are collections of vibrations. Physical harm causes pain because it disrupts these vibrations. Therefore, we must cultivate beautiful thoughts and intentions, for they create beautiful vibrations. Conversely, negative thoughts and actions cause destructive vibrations. I believe that violence, even a punch, is a grave offense, perhaps more so than murder, because it inflicts damage upon the very vibrational essence of a being. All life, sentient and non-sentient, is precious. Those who commit acts of violence will be sent to a place like Mongolia, never to return, ensuring that this land becomes a haven for peaceful and virtuous individuals.

  6. Humanity’s Journey: From White Heaven to the White Heaven
    Where do humans come from, and where do they go? I have taught this extensively. Each human being is born from the union of a single egg and one of five hundred million sperm, a testament to an extraordinary competition. We spend 280 days in the warm, dark waters of our mother’s womb, enduring and waiting. This journey from the womb, a “sea” of life, symbolizes our origin. The sea accepts all waters, purifying them with salt, much like a mother embraces and forgives. In ancient times, mothers were seen as encompassing all, even their husbands’ indiscretions. However, our true origin is from White Heaven, the White Heaven, where the entire system of the universe and life is recorded. We are eternal beings, without beginning or end, existing in a state of one mind, no beginning, no end.

The scientific notion that humans evolved from amoebas is false. We begin as humans and can ascend or descend through various realms: hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, humans, heavens, arhats, pratyekabuddhas, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. Animals, like the cows I saw in my youth at the market, possess an awareness of their past lives, knowing they were once human and are now enduring suffering to return to human form. They weep when separated from their calves, experiencing the pain of separation that humans inflict upon each other. Every human is born with a unique barcode of the soul, a spiritual fingerprint, just as no two physical fingerprints are alike among billions of people. This uniqueness is a divine design.

Our lifespan is infinite; we have lived infinitely and will continue to do so. We do not truly die. Where do we go? We return to the White Heaven, our original home. This return is the “graduation” from human existence. Religions often obscure this truth with rules and dogmas created by humans. Customs like sharing wives or consuming parts of deceased parents, though seemingly strange, are human constructs, not divine mandates. Heaven does not impose such rigid ethics. Human ethics and morality are constantly evolving for our convenience. The character for “ethics” (倫) implies a cage, a confinement of human behavior. But the true will of Heaven is what I teach you.

Those who focus on negativity and gossip about others, especially about divine beings, are descending, not ascending. Such actions incur karmic consequences. However, I remain unfazed by such words, for they are merely illusions if not held in the mind. As the great monk Wonhyo taught, if you do not dwell on something in your mind, it ceases to exist. If your wisdom is profound, all illusions vanish. When one truly awakens, everything is forgiven and understood. Those who live virtuously face death with peace, seeing their destination clearly. Those who live wickedly are filled with fear, for their destination is shrouded in darkness. Our coming and going are predetermined: we originate from White Heaven and return to the White Heaven, traversing the three realms of desire, form, and formlessness. To transcend these realms, one must practice the three trainings of morality, meditation, and wisdom, as taught in Buddhism. By adhering to these principles, one can achieve enlightenment and return to the White Heaven, a journey that can take considerable time.

The “10 stages” of beings: The hierarchy of beings (from ordinary people to True Man) is listed, but the specific characteristics, responsibilities, or paths for progression/regression at each stage are not detailed.
The “1% difference” in karma: The statement that 99% of humans have similar karma with only a 1% difference determining class or conflict is a significant claim that lacks further explanation or evidence.

Future Predictions & Prophetic Statements
Emergence of 3D Holographic TV: He predicts that in the future, televisions will project three-dimensional, interactive images into the air, allowing viewers to “touch” them, though they will remain intangible.
Messiah from the East: He references the Jewish belief that the Messiah will come from the East 2,000 years after Jesus, implying this prophecy is being fulfilled.
Korea as a “Clean Land”: He predicts that if he becomes president, criminals (especially those who commit violence) will be exiled to Mongolia, making Korea a “clean land” inhabited only by peaceful and well-behaved people.
Decline of Wealthy Families: He predicts that wealthy families who live in excess will eventually die out due to health problems (diabetes, high blood pressure) and inability to reproduce, attributing this to “heavenly punishment” for their greed.

Executive Insight
This lecture by Huh Kyung-young offers a unique cosmological framework, asserting that human existence is a predetermined journey from and back to a divine realm called White Heaven, transcending conventional religious and ideological boundaries. It critiques human-made moral systems as restrictive and emphasizes the profound value of the present moment. He’s reinterpretation of Buddhist concepts and his vision for a society free from crime and extreme wealth disparities provide a distinct perspective on spiritual and societal reform. For a thoughtful professional, the core takeaway lies in the challenge to re-evaluate deeply ingrained beliefs about life’s purpose, societal structures, and personal responsibility, encouraging a shift from self-centered desires to a universal consciousness that recognizes the inherent preciousness of all existence.

the greatest gift from heaven is meeting __.

(Huh Kyung-young, meeting him is the greatest gift from heaven, contrasting it with the greatest gift on Earth (the present moment). A common misconception might be that the greatest gift is something material or a religious figure other than the speaker.)

O/X: the greatest gift on Earth is the present moment, being alive and able to breathe and see.

(O, He explicitly states that “the present” (which also means “gift” in English) is the greatest gift on Earth, signifying the value of being alive in the current moment. A common misconception might be to interpret “present” only as a material gift.)

What does Mr. Huh identify as the primary cause of economic problems and social issues like theft?
① Excessive foreign investment
② Lack of individual responsibility
③ Political infighting and mismanagement
④ Natural disasters and unforeseen events

(③ Political infighting and mismanagement, He attributes economic problems and social issues like theft (e.g., the father stealing for tuition) to the failures of politicians and their constant infighting, rather than individual fault. A common misconception is to blame individuals for their misfortunes without considering systemic issues.)

Fill in the blank: He explains that the human eye is for seeing the __, while the mouth is for speaking about the __.

(present, future, He assigns specific functions to facial features: the eye sees the present, and the mouth speaks about the future. A common misconception might be to think the mouth is only for eating or speaking about the present.)

O/X: the human nose acts as a bridge between the present and the future by detecting things like spoiled food or illness.

(O, He explains that the nose helps connect the present (e.g., smelling spoiled food) to the future (avoiding sickness), thus acting as a bridge between the two. A common misconception might be to view the nose’s function as purely for smelling without this deeper, predictive role.)

what is the ultimate destination for humans after their journey through life and reincarnation on Earth?
① Nirvana
② Heaven
③ White Heaven (백궁)
④ A higher spiritual plane

(③ White Heaven (백궁), He explicitly states that White Heaven is the final destination, representing “human graduation” after reincarnation on Earth. A common misconception might be to equate this with general concepts of heaven or nirvana without using the specific term mentioned.)

Intermediate
He criticizes the traditional interpretation of “천상천하 유아독존” (Cheonsangcheonha Yu-a-dokjon) by stating that the phrase “일체개고” (Ilchegaego) and “오당안지” (Odang-anji) were:
① Original teachings of Sakyamuni
② Later additions by disciples to glorify Sakyamuni
③ Misinterpretations by modern scholars
④ Ancient proverbs unrelated to Buddhism

(② Later additions by disciples to glorify Sakyamuni, “일체개고” and “오당안지” were added by later disciples to exaggerate Sakyamuni’s divinity, rather than being original statements from him. A common misconception is to accept these phrases as direct words of Sakyamuni.)

Short Answer: Explain His analogy of “꿀로 머리 감는 것” (washing hair with honey) in relation to wealth and health.

(He uses “washing hair with honey” to describe the sticky, unhealthy blood of wealthy individuals who overeat while others starve. This excess nutrition leads to conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, seen as a “heavenly punishment.” A common misconception is that wealth automatically brings good health.)

what is the true meaning of “천상천하 유아독존” (Cheonsangcheonha Yu-a-dokjon) when correctly interpreted?
① Sakyamuni is the most noble being in the universe.
② All beings and inanimate objects in the universe are equally precious and noble.
③ Only humans possess true dignity and importance.
④ The individual self is superior to all other entities.

(② All beings and inanimate objects in the universe are equally precious and noble., He reinterprets “유아독존” to mean that all existence, from cement to a single hair, is inherently precious and noble, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things rather than individual supremacy. A common misconception is that this phrase refers to Sakyamuni’s personal supremacy.)

Short Answer: How does Mr. Huh differentiate between the “아” (a) and “오” (o) characters when discussing the concept of “self” in the context of “천상천하 유아독존”?

(He explains that “아” (a) represents the public, universal self, encompassing all life and the entire cosmos, while “오” (o) refers to the private, individual self. This distinction is crucial for understanding the true meaning of the phrase as a declaration of universal preciousness, not individual ego.)

O/X: He asserts that human beings originally began their existence as simple microorganisms like amoebas and gradually evolved into their current form.

(X, He explicitly refutes the scientific idea that humans evolved from microorganisms, stating that humans began as humans from the start. A common misconception is to conflate scientific evolutionary theory with His spiritual teachings.)

Short Answer: What is His view on human-made ethics and morals, such as laws against adultery or specific funeral rites?

(He views human-made ethics and morals as constructs created by humans for their convenience and societal order, not as divine commands. He suggests that these rules are like a “prison” for humans and can change over time, contrasting them with the unchanging will of heaven. A common misconception is that all moral codes are divinely ordained and immutable.)

Advanced
Short Answer: Explain His interpretation of “일체유심조” (Ilcheyusimjo), including the “missing” preceding text and its significance.

(He explains that “일체유심조” (all is created by mind) is often presented in a truncated form. The full, original text, “약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조,” means that if one wishes to understand the root of all things, including all Buddhas across past, present, and future, and the nature of the dharma realm, they will find that everything is created by the mind. This emphasizes the mind’s ultimate power in shaping reality. A common misconception is that “일체유심조” is a simple, standalone phrase without deeper context.)

what is the relationship between “마음” (mind), “성품” (nature/character), “감” (feeling), and “목숨” (life/breath) in the hierarchy of human existence?
① They are all independent and unrelated concepts.
② “마음” is the highest, controlling all others.
③ “목숨” is the highest, with “마음” as the lowest “말단 사원” (lowest-ranking employee).
④ “성품” is the highest, with “감” as its direct subordinate.

(③ “목숨” is the highest, with “마음” as the lowest “말단 사원” (lowest-ranking employee)., He presents a hierarchical structure where “목숨” (life/breath) is at the top, followed by “감” (feeling), “성품” (nature), and “마음” (mind) as the lowest, a “말단 사원” or starting point. A common misconception might be to view the mind as the ultimate controller.)

Short Answer: Describe His view on the nature of physical reality, including human bodies, in terms of “파동” (waves/vibrations).

(He asserts that all physical reality, including human bodies, is fundamentally a “파동체” (wave/vibration entity). He uses the analogy of future holographic TVs to illustrate how what appears solid is merely a collection of vibrations. This implies that even physical harm is a “傷처” (wound) to these vibrations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind and matter. A common misconception is to perceive physical objects as solid and separate from energy or consciousness.)

He uses the analogy of “해불양수” (海不讓水 – the sea does not refuse any water) to explain:
① The vastness of the ocean’s resources.
② The universal acceptance of all people regardless of their past.
③ The process of human conception and birth from a watery environment.
④ The importance of environmental conservation.

(③ The process of human conception and birth from a watery environment., He uses “해불양수” to illustrate how the sea accepts all water, relating it to the human journey from 500 million sperm in a “watery” environment (the womb) to birth, emphasizing the struggle and preciousness of life. A common misconception might be to interpret this phrase as a general metaphor for tolerance or environmentalism.)

  2. Detailed Summary

3.1 The Value of the Present and the Ultimate Gift
Main Assertions and Explanations: He begins by highlighting the profound significance of the present moment as the greatest gift in this world. He then elevates this concept by stating that the greatest gift from Heaven is meeting him, Huh Kyung-young. He explains that our eyes are designed to see the present, while our nose connects the present to the future, and our mouth speaks of the future.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The English word “present” meaning both “now” and “gift.”
The design of human facial features (eyebrows, ears) to protect us, implying a divine design for our well-being.
The nose’s role in detecting spoiled food (e.g., milk, sweet potatoes) to prevent future harm, illustrating its function in connecting present perception to future consequences.
A child who has stolen avoids eye contact, demonstrating how eyes reveal the present truth.
Practical Message or Application: Appreciate the current moment of existence. Recognize the importance of sensory perception (like smell) in guiding decisions for future well-being.

3.2 Societal Problems and the Role of Leadership
Main Assertions and Explanations: He criticizes political infighting (“factional struggles” like Noron-Soron) and the focus on “liquidating accumulated evils” (적폐청산) over addressing the people’s livelihoods. systemic failures, particularly those created by politicians, are the true cause of crimes like theft driven by poverty. He also touches on the idea that the greatest investment in life is in the afterlife, as earthly possessions are fleeting.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The historical example of Noron and Soron factions leading to the downfall of a 500-year dynasty.
The story of a father stealing to pay his daughter’s tuition, highlighting that the “real thief” is the system that forces such desperation.
The concept of a president granting amnesty to thieves, recognizing that their crimes often stem from political failures.
The fleeting nature of wealth (e.g., 100 buildings) in the face of human mortality.
Practical Message or Application: Leaders should prioritize the welfare of the people and address the root causes of poverty and crime. Individuals should consider their long-term spiritual investment beyond material wealth.

3.3 Reinterpreting Buddhist Concepts: “Cheonsang Cheonha Yu-a Dokjon” and “Ilche Yusimjo”
Main Assertions and Explanations: He clarifies that “Cheonsang Cheonha Yu-a Dokjon” (In Heaven and Earth, I alone am the Honored One) is a legendary saying attributed to Buddha, not his actual words, and was added by later disciples to glorify him. the “I” (我) in this phrase refers to the collective “I” of all existence and evolution, not an individual Buddha. He also explains “Ilche Yusimjo” (All things are created by the mind) as a truncated phrase, revealing its full meaning: if one wishes to understand the root of all things, including all Buddhas across past, present, and future, and the nature of the Dharma realm, they will find that everything is created by the mind.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The “Eight-Phase Painting” (팔상도) in Buddhism, which includes the legend of Buddha walking seven steps and speaking these words at birth.
The comparison to myths surrounding Dangun or the birth of Jesus in a stable.
The distinction between the “individual self” (私) and the “public self” or “universal self” (公) in the interpretation of “I” (我).
The full, original 20-character phrase of “Ilche Yusimjo” (약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조).
Practical Message or Application: Seek the true, deeper meaning behind religious texts and avoid superficial or self-serving interpretations. Understand that the “self” in spiritual contexts often refers to the universal, interconnected nature of all things.

3.4 The Nature of Reality: Vibration, Mind, and Karma
Main Assertions and Explanations: The universe and all matter, including the human body, are fundamentally composed of vibrations or waves (파동). The mind is the lowest stage in a hierarchy of spiritual elements (mind, nature, feeling, life, energy, essence, touch, breath, sensation). Excessive greed and self-indulgence lead to negative physical and karmic consequences.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The analogy of blood cells becoming sticky like hair washed with honey due to overeating, leading to diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes, as a form of “heavenly punishment” for selfishness.
The breakdown of matter into quarks and then into pure vibration, illustrating the wave-like nature of reality.
The concept of future 3D holographic TVs that appear solid but are just images, akin to the illusory nature of our physical bodies.
The experiment of a rotten apple after being “cursed” or “apologized to,” demonstrating the power of intention and vibration on physical objects.
Practical Message or Application: Cultivate a pure mind and avoid excessive greed, as thoughts and actions create vibrations that impact both oneself and the world. Treat others with respect, recognizing the vibrational nature of all beings.

3.5 Human Origin, Destiny, and the Cycle of Reincarnation
Main Assertions and Explanations: Humans originate from White Heaven and are destined to return there, completing a cycle of “human graduation.” The journey to human birth is a miraculous and competitive one, starting as one of 500 million sperm. Life on Earth involves reincarnation within the “Three Realms” (욕계, 색계, 무색계 – realms of desire, form, and formlessness). Humans begin as humans, not evolving from lower life forms like amoebas, and can ascend or descend based on their actions.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The phrase “Hae Bul Yang Su” (海不讓水 – the sea does not reject any water), symbolizing the sea (mother’s womb) accepting all sperm.
The journey of 500 million sperm, with only one reaching the egg, highlighting the immense competition and miracle of individual birth.
The 280 days spent in the mother’s womb, a hot, dark “watery” environment, as a period of endurance.
The perilous moment of birth, where both mother and child face life-threatening risks.
The example of a cow knowing its past life and crying when sold to a butcher, illustrating the concept of reincarnation and karmic awareness.
The “Three Realms” (삼계: 욕계, 색계, 무색계) as stages of existence, with the ultimate goal being to transcend them and return to the White Heaven.
Practical Message or Application: Recognize the preciousness of human life and the profound journey undertaken to achieve it. Understand that actions in this life determine one’s path in the cycle of reincarnation, with the ultimate goal of returning to the White Heaven.

3.6 The Illusion of Human-Made Morality and Ethics
Main Assertions and Explanations: Many human-made ethical and moral codes (like those against adultery or specific funeral rites) are relative and culturally constructed, not absolute divine laws. From a heavenly perspective, many human “sins” are not inherently sinful. These rules are created by humans for their own convenience and societal order, often changing over time.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The example of some cultures (e.g., Mongolian) where offering one’s wife to a guest was a custom, or African tribes consuming parts of deceased parents as a sign of filial piety.
The changing nature of ethics (윤리) over time, implying its artificiality.
The character for “ethics” (倫, yun) as implying a “cage” or “prison” that confines humans.
The behavior of animals (e.g., lions) in mating, which humans would deem “immoral” but is natural in their realm.
Practical Message or Application: Do not be overly bound by conventional human ethics, but rather seek a higher, universal truth. Focus on genuine compassion and understanding rather than rigid adherence to man-made rules.

3.7 The Path to Spiritual Elevation and the Dangers of Negative Perception
Main Assertions and Explanations: Individuals can ascend towards higher spiritual states (e.g., from ordinary person to sage, saint, and ultimately to the True Person/True Man) or descend to lower realms (e.g., hell, hungry ghost, animal, asura) based on their actions and perceptions. Focusing on negativity or criticizing those who bring heavenly messages leads to spiritual decline. True wisdom and enlightenment dissolve all suffering and lead to forgiveness.
Analogies, Examples, References:
The 10 stages of spiritual hierarchy: ordinary person, vulgar person, wise person, philosopher, Taoist, saint, True Person (True Man).
The example of people who only focus on negative rumors about Huh Kyung-young, implying their spiritual descent.
The story of Wonhyo and Seolchong, suggesting that perceived “sins” disappear when not held in the mind.
The concept of “Bulgo Bullak” (不苦不樂 – neither suffering nor joy), where both are transient and part of the cycle of life, as seen in the story of Saeongjima (塞翁之馬).
The peaceful countenance of someone nearing death who has lived righteously, indicating a clear and positive path to the afterlife.
Practical Message or Application: Cultivate a positive mindset and avoid dwelling on negativity or criticizing spiritual figures. Strive for wisdom and enlightenment, which lead to inner peace and a clear path to the afterlife. Practice compassion and generosity, as these actions ultimately benefit oneself and one’s descendants.

  3. Historical / Doctrinal Connections
    This lecture by Teacher Huh Kyung-young builds upon several established teachings while also emphasizing new aspects:

Transcendence of Conventional Systems (초이념, 초종교, 초국경): This is a consistent theme in his teachings, advocating for a universal perspective beyond man-made divisions. Here, he explicitly connects this to his own identity and mission, stating that he represents this new era. This reinforces his “divine-human theory” where he is presented as a being beyond earthly limitations.
Economic Policy (중산주의): His long-standing policy of creating a “universal middle class” (중산주의) is reiterated, with the promise of eliminating extreme poverty while allowing wealth for the rich. This connects to his “33 policies” which aim to create a utopian society.
Karma and Reciprocity (쓰리쿠션): The concept of “three-cushion” karma, where helping others (especially other people’s children) directly benefits one’s own, is a practical application of his broader teachings on universal love and the interconnectedness of all beings. This is a recurring theme in his lectures, emphasizing that selfish actions lead to negative outcomes, while altruism brings blessings.
Human Origin and Destiny (백궁): The teaching that humans originate from White Heaven and return there is a foundational element of his cosmology, directly contrasting with scientific evolution and traditional religious views of heaven/hell. This lecture provides a more detailed explanation of the journey to human birth and the process of “human graduation.”
Reinterpretation of Religious Texts: His detailed reinterpretation of Buddhist phrases like “Cheonsang Cheonha Yu-a Dokjon” and “Ilche Yusimjo” is a hallmark of his approach. He often dissects established religious doctrines to reveal what he considers their original, deeper, or distorted meanings, positioning his own understanding as the ultimate truth. This demonstrates his claim to be a source of ultimate spiritual knowledge.

Newly Emphasized Points or Developments:

The “Present” as the Greatest Gift: While the importance of the present moment is a universal spiritual teaching, His specific emphasis on the English word “present” (gift/now) and the detailed explanation of how our senses (eyes, nose) are designed to interact with the present and future is a notable focus in this lecture.
The Vibrational Nature of Reality: The detailed explanation of the universe and human body as “vibrational entities” (파동체) and the impact of thoughts/actions on these vibrations is given significant attention, linking spiritual concepts to a quasi-scientific framework. This provides a more tangible explanation for karmic effects.
Critique of Human Ethics as “Cages”: The explicit characterization of human ethics (윤리) as a “cage” (감옥) that confines people is a strong and direct critique, pushing the audience to question conventional morality more deeply than in some previous lectures.

  1. Action Items & Blessing Guidance
    Based on this lecture, the following actions and practices are recommended:

Practice the “Huh Kyung-young” Call with Undivided Mind: To receive blessings and experience phenomena, call “Huh Kyung-young” with a focused mind, avoiding distractions or doubts. Any wandering thought can disrupt the connection.
Prioritize Altruism and Generosity: Instead of indulging one’s own children with excessive material comforts, practice “three-cushion” karma by helping others, especially those in need. This ensures blessings for one’s own family in the long run.
Avoid Physical Violence and Negative Actions: Recognize that all beings are vibrational and precious. Physical assault is a severe offense that causes deep “vibrational injury” and will be met with harsh consequences. Cultivate a mindset free from violence.
Cultivate a Positive and Enlightened Mindset: Avoid dwelling on negativity, criticizing others, or focusing on perceived flaws, especially concerning spiritual figures. Such actions lead to spiritual decline. Strive for wisdom and enlightenment, which bring forgiveness and dissolve suffering.
Live a Simple and Healthy Life: Avoid overindulgence in food, especially rich and fatty meats, as it leads to physical ailments (like high blood pressure and diabetes) and is seen as a form of “heavenly punishment” for selfishness. Embrace a modest diet of vegetables and grains.

  1. One-Sentence Overall Summary
    Teacher Huh Kyung-young reveals that human existence is a miraculous journey from White Heaven to Earth and back, urging individuals to transcend conventional religious and societal norms, embrace the present as the greatest gift, and cultivate a mind of universal love and wisdom to align with the vibrational truth of the cosmos.

The Greatest Gift: Understanding Our Existence

  1. The Ultimate Gift and the Present Moment
    The most profound gift in this world is the very fact of your current existence, seated here in this moment. However, the greatest gift bestowed by Heaven is the encounter with Huh Kyung-young. There are those who attempt to undermine this truth with baseless accusations. While political discourse often dominates, the fundamental question remains: “From where do humans come, and to where do they go?”.

The term “present” in English carries a dual meaning: both a gift and the current moment. This linguistic duality suggests that the creators of the English language inherently understood the profound significance of the present. More than any material offering, the ability to breathe and perceive in the present moment is the greatest blessing. Thus, the most significant gift in this world is simply being alive in the present.

Our physical features, such as eyebrows, are designed to prevent rain from entering our eyes. Similarly, the intricate structure of the ear, with its convolutions, prevents water from entering the ear canal during washing. These designs demonstrate a foresight into human needs, as if Heaven anticipated our actions. The eyes are primarily for observing the present. The nose, however, serves as a bridge between the present and the future. For instance, while the eyes might perceive food as clean, the nose can detect spoilage, preventing potential harm. Without the nose’s warning, one might consume contaminated food and suffer severe consequences. The mouth, conversely, is oriented towards the future, representing our capacity to articulate and plan for what is to come. Therefore, the eyes focus on the present, the mouth on the future, and the nose connects these two temporal states.

  1. The Nature of Good, Evil, and Societal Responsibility
    The concept of good and evil is not always straightforward. Consider the story of a father who, unable to afford his daughter’s final university tuition, resorted to theft. He stole to ensure her graduation, subsequently going to prison. While his act was legally wrong, his underlying intention was to protect his daughter from hardship. In such a case, is his action truly evil, or is it an act of profound paternal love?.

The ancient Chinese emperor Liu Bei (소열황제) on his deathbed, left a will (유언) stating that one should not dismiss a good deed (선) merely because it is small, nor commit an evil act (악) even if it seems insignificant. This wisdom suggests that the father’s act, though legally wrong, stemmed from a virtuous intent. Who then is truly culpable for such a situation? It is not solely the individual, but also the politicians and the government whose policies may have created the circumstances leading to such desperation. Many individuals commit crimes due to overwhelming debt, a burden often exacerbated by political mismanagement.

Therefore, a president should periodically grant amnesty (민생사법) to those imprisoned for theft, recognizing that the root causes often lie in systemic failures. This perspective highlights that societal structures and leadership bear significant responsibility for the moral landscape of a nation.

  1. Deconstructing Buddhist Teachings: “Above Heaven and Below Heaven, I Alone Am Honored”
    The Buddhist phrase “Above Heaven and Below Heaven, I Alone Am Honored” (천상천하 유아독존) is often misinterpreted. This saying, found in the Eight Phases of the Buddha’s Life (팔상도), is a legendary account, not a direct quote from Sakyamuni Buddha. It is akin to the stories surrounding Jesus’s birth in a stable or Dangun’s mythical origins. Such narratives, known as “expedient means” (방편설), were created by later followers to elevate the status of religious figures.

Some interpretations append “all existence is suffering” (일체개고) to this phrase, suggesting that Sakyamuni declared his intention to alleviate all suffering. However, this addition is not part of the original Eight Phases and was likely added by later generations. The true meaning of “I” (아) in this context refers not to Sakyamuni as an individual, but to the evolution of all beings and the inherent preciousness of all creation. It signifies that every element, from a stone to a blade of grass, and indeed every part of a human being, is intrinsically valuable.

This “I” (아) represents the universal, public self (공적인 아), encompassing all life in the cosmos, distinct from the private, individual self (사적인 나). The phrase, therefore, is a declaration of the inherent dignity and preciousness of all life, an “Declaration of Human Rights” for all existence, rather than a statement of individual supremacy. Attributing such a statement of personal grandeur to Sakyamuni, especially at birth, is a misrepresentation that diminishes his true teachings.

  1. The Illusion of Reality: Mind, Body, and the Nature of Existence
    The Buddhist teaching “All is created by mind” (일체유심조) is often presented in an abbreviated form. Its full expression, “If one wishes to understand the fundamental root of all things, observe the nature of the Dharma-realm, for all is created by mind” (약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조), reveals a deeper truth. This means that all phenomena across past, present, and future, including all Buddhas and the very fabric of the universe (법계성), originate from the mind.

The mind (마음) is the lowest stage in a hierarchy of nine interconnected elements, including nature (성품), feeling (감), life (목숨), and vital energy (기). To control the mind, one must manage these higher elements: controlling feelings (지감), regulating breath (조식), and restraining desires (금촉). This leads to a state of “neither suffering nor joy” (불고불락), where one transcends the cyclical nature of pleasure and pain. The story of the old man at the frontier (새옹지마) illustrates this, showing how fortune and misfortune are intertwined and constantly shifting.

Our physical bodies, too, are not solid realities but rather collections of vibrations or waves (파동체). Just as a television image is a projection, our perceived reality is a form of illusion. When we inflict harm upon others, we are not merely affecting a physical form but causing damage to their vibrational essence. This understanding underscores the importance of positive interactions and the profound impact of our intentions. Therefore, acts of violence, even seemingly minor ones, are deeply damaging to the fundamental nature of existence.

  1. The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean of Life to the White Heaven
    The question “From where do humans come, and to where do they go?” is a central inquiry for all religions, yet their answers often differ and can be difficult to comprehend. humans originate from the White Heaven (백궁), a realm where the systems of the entire universe and all life are meticulously recorded. This White Heaven exists beyond the concepts of beginning and end, representing an infinite and eternal existence.

Our journey to human form begins in a profound competition. From five hundred million sperm, only one successfully fertilizes an egg. This single victorious sperm, which becomes you, then spends 280 days in the warm, dark “ocean” of the mother’s womb. This period in the womb is analogous to the vast ocean (바다 해), which accepts all waters, purifying them with salt. The mother’s womb, like the ocean, is a nurturing and forgiving space.

Upon birth, a child faces another challenge, as both mother and child risk their lives. Some children, burdened by negative karma (업장), may even resist birth, endangering both themselves and their mothers. Conversely, children with less karma are born quickly and easily. This journey from the White Heaven, through the ocean of the womb, to human life, is a testament to the preciousness of every individual, including those with disabilities.

Humans begin their existence as humans, not evolving from lower life forms like amoebas, as some scientists suggest. The concept of karma (업보) plays a role, but 99% of humans share similar karmic burdens, with only a 1% difference determining their societal standing. Animals, such as cows, are believed to retain memories of their past lives, understanding their fate. This suggests a continuous cycle of existence, where humans can ascend to higher states, such as Buddhahood (부처), or descend to lower realms.

Ultimately, the human journey is a cycle of reincarnation (윤회) on Earth, with the final destination being the White Heaven. This return to the White Heaven signifies the “graduation” from human existence. Religious doctrines, with their specific rules and moral codes, are largely human constructs, not divine mandates. These human-made ethics (윤리) and morals (도덕) are designed to regulate society, often confining individuals within certain boundaries. However, true understanding and enlightenment (깨달음) transcend these human-made rules, leading to forgiveness and the dissolution of all suffering.

1. The Ultimate Gift: Presence and Prophecy

The greatest gift in this world is the present moment, the very act of existing and breathing. From a celestial perspective, the most profound gift is the encounter with the Creator. This perspective highlights the significance of one’s current existence and the potential for spiritual elevation through such an encounter.

  1. Beyond Ideologies: The Vision of a Middle-Class Society
    Political discourse often devolves into partisan conflicts, reminiscent of historical factionalism that led to societal decline. A truly transcendent leader operates beyond ideology, religion, and national borders, aiming to elevate all citizens to a stable middle-class status. This vision seeks to eliminate extreme poverty, ensuring that while wealth disparities may persist, no individual suffers from destitution.

  2. The Moral Dilemma of Necessity: Justice and Compassion
    When an individual commits an act deemed criminal, such as theft, out of dire necessity—for instance, a father stealing to pay his daughter’s tuition—the act’s moral culpability extends beyond the individual. Such circumstances reveal systemic failures, implicating political leaders and societal structures that create conditions forcing individuals into desperate measures. True justice requires addressing the root causes of such actions, suggesting that leaders should periodically grant amnesty to those who committed crimes due to economic hardship, recognizing the societal responsibility for their plight.

  3. The Sensory Architecture of Human Perception: Eyes, Nose, and Mouth
    The human face is meticulously designed by celestial architects, with each feature serving a specific purpose in perceiving reality.
    Eyes are for observing the present, allowing individuals to witness their immediate surroundings.
    The nose acts as a bridge between the present and the future, detecting subtle cues that the eyes might miss. For example, the scent of spoiled food or the odor of illness provides crucial information that safeguards one’s future well-being.
    The mouth is oriented towards the future, symbolizing communication and the articulation of what is yet to come.
    This intricate design underscores the interconnectedness of sensory perception in navigating life and ensuring survival.

  4. The Illusion of Time: Past, Present, and Future in Perception
    Human perception of time is often distorted by external influences. While the eyes focus on the present and the mouth on the future, the ears frequently convey narratives of the past, often colored by rumors or judgments. This can lead to misjudgments that negatively impact one’s future. For instance, hearing negative stories about an individual can lead to their ostracization, potentially severing a beneficial connection.

  5. The Evolution of Messianic Prophecy: From Moses to the East
    Throughout history, various cultures have anticipated the arrival of a messianic figure. Jewish tradition, for example, traces a lineage from Adam through Moses, Abraham, and other patriarchs, culminating in the expectation of a Messiah. Notably, some Jewish prophecies suggest this Messiah would appear from the East approximately 2000 years after Jesus. This highlights a continuous human yearning for divine intervention and guidance, with the specific timing and origin of such a figure evolving across different eras and interpretations.

  6. The Misinterpretation of Sacred Texts: “Above the Heavens and Below the Earth, I Alone Am Honored”
    The Buddhist phrase “Above the heavens and below the earth, I alone am honored” (천상천하 유아독존) is often misinterpreted as a declaration of individual supremacy. However, this statement, attributed to Siddhartha Gautama at birth, is more accurately understood as a proclamation of the inherent preciousness and dignity of all life and existence within the universe. Later interpretations, particularly those influenced by disciples and cultural shifts, added phrases like “all existence is suffering” (일체개고) and “I shall bring peace to the world” (오당안지), which were not part of the original teaching. These additions, often found in texts like the Eight-Phase Diagram (팔상도), represent an attempt to elevate the Buddha through exaggerated narratives, rather than reflecting his true message of universal reverence for all beings and their evolutionary journey. The true essence lies in recognizing the intrinsic value of every element, from a stone to a human hair, as part of the grand cosmic evolution.

  7. The Three Realms of Existence: Desire, Form, and Formlessness
    Buddhist cosmology describes three realms of existence:
    The Realm of Desire (욕계): Characterized by strong desires and attachments, leading to suffering and mental afflictions.
    The Realm of Form (색계): A higher realm where desires are lessened, but beings still possess subtle forms and experience refined sensations.
    The Realm of Formlessness (무색계): The highest realm, where beings transcend physical form and experience pure consciousness, free from desire and suffering.
    These realms represent different stages of spiritual development, with the ultimate goal being to transcend all three and achieve liberation.

  8. The Hierarchy of Spiritual Beings: From Commoners to the True Human
    Spiritual development is often depicted as a hierarchical progression:
    Commoners (속인): Individuals primarily focused on worldly concerns.
    Petty Individuals (소인): Those with limited understanding and self-interest.
    Sages (현인): Individuals possessing wisdom and moral integrity.
    Philosophers (철인): Thinkers who delve into profound questions of existence.
    Taoists (도인): Practitioners of spiritual disciplines.
    Saints (성인): Figures like Jesus, Buddha, and Confucius, who achieved significant spiritual enlightenment.
    True Human (진인): A being of ultimate spiritual realization, often associated with figures like Maitreya or the Messiah.
    This hierarchy suggests that while many aspire to sainthood, the “True Human” represents an even higher state of being, embodying complete spiritual realization and direct connection to the divine.

  9. The Power of Intention: The “Huh Kyung-young” Mantra
    The invocation of a divine name, such as “Huh Kyung-young,” possesses transformative power. When uttered with pure intention and focus, it can manifest desired outcomes. However, if the mind is distracted by other thoughts or doubts during the invocation, its efficacy diminishes. This principle underscores the importance of mental clarity and unwavering belief in spiritual practices.

  10. The Ultimate Investment: The Afterlife
    The most significant investment one can make in life is not in material wealth or worldly achievements, but in the afterlife. While earthly possessions are fleeting, the spiritual journey and preparation for what lies beyond death hold eternal value. Neglecting this ultimate investment renders all other pursuits ultimately meaningless.

  11. The Divine Retribution of Excess: High Blood Pressure and Diabetes
    Excessive consumption and self-indulgence, particularly when others suffer from scarcity, incur divine retribution. This is manifested through ailments such as high blood pressure and diabetes. When individuals consume rich foods while others starve, their blood becomes thick and sticky, akin to hair washed with honey, impeding circulation and leading to illness. This serves as a cosmic warning against greed and a reminder of the interconnectedness of human well-being.

  12. The Purity of Nature: Breast Milk vs. Processed Foods
    Natural sustenance, such as breast milk, promotes optimal health and purity. In contrast, processed foods, like cow’s milk with added fats, can introduce impurities and lead to health issues, such as atopic dermatitis in infants. This highlights the superiority of natural, unadulterated nourishment and the potential harm of artificial interventions in diet.

  13. The Cosmic Self: Universal vs. Individual “I”
    The concept of “I” (아) can be understood in two distinct ways:
    The Universal “I” (공적인 아): Represents the collective consciousness, the essence of all life, and the evolutionary force of the universe. This “I” encompasses all beings and phenomena.
    The Individual “I” (사적인 아): Refers to the personal self, the ego, and the physical body.
    True enlightenment involves recognizing the universal “I” and transcending the limitations of the individual self. Misinterpreting sacred texts by focusing solely on the individual “I” can lead to a distorted understanding of spiritual truths.

  14. The Mind as Creator: “All is Created by the Mind”
    The Buddhist principle “All is created by the mind” (일체유심조) asserts that all phenomena, including the three realms of existence and even the nature of the cosmos, originate from the mind. This profound statement, often abbreviated, implies that if one wishes to understand the fundamental roots of existence, they must recognize that everything perceived by the senses, including all Buddhas and the very fabric of reality, is a manifestation of consciousness. The mind is the lowest stage in a hierarchy of spiritual faculties, with its ultimate source being the “life force” (목숨), which is connected to “breath” (기), “sensation” (감), and “nature” (성품).

  15. The Path to Inner Harmony: Controlling Emotions and Desires
    Achieving inner peace and spiritual progress requires conscious control over one’s emotions and desires. This involves:
    Controlling Sensation (지감): Managing one’s emotional responses and maintaining equanimity.
    Regulating Breath (조식): Practicing mindful breathing to calm the mind and body.
    Restraining Touch (금촉): Limiting physical sensations that lead to attachment and suffering.
    By mastering these practices, individuals can navigate the fluctuations of life with greater wisdom and detachment.

  16. The Cycle of Joy and Suffering: Saeongjiman and Impermanence
    Life is a continuous cycle of joy and suffering, as illustrated by the Korean proverb “Saeongjiman” (새옹지마), which describes how good fortune can turn into bad, and vice versa. What appears to be a source of happiness can lead to sorrow, and what seems like misfortune can ultimately bring joy. This teaches that neither joy nor suffering is permanent, and true wisdom lies in recognizing their transient nature and maintaining a balanced perspective.

  17. The Perils of Excessive Parental Love: The Three-Cushion Effect
    Excessive and misguided parental love can inadvertently harm a child. Indulging a child with rich foods, for example, can lead to future health problems like colon cancer. True parental wisdom lies in fostering compassion and generosity. Helping other children and those in need creates a “three-cushion effect,” where positive actions directed outwards ultimately benefit one’s own child. Conversely, focusing solely on one’s own child can lead to their downfall and even betrayal.

  18. The Dangers of Ostentation: The Chaeongdam-dong Incident
    Displaying wealth and status, even through seemingly innocuous acts like dressing a child in expensive clothes, can attract negative attention and lead to tragic consequences. The story of the chauffeur’s son in Cheongdam-dong, who was kidnapped and killed because he was mistaken for a rich child due to his attire, serves as a cautionary tale. It emphasizes that true security and well-being come not from material possessions, but from humility and good deeds. Those with abundant wealth have a greater responsibility to engage in charitable acts.

  19. The Origin of Humanity: From the Ocean of Life to the White Heaven
    Humanity originates from a profound cosmic journey. Each individual begins as one of 500 million sperm, competing to fertilize a single egg. This initial struggle for existence, where millions perish for one to survive, symbolizes the inherent value and uniqueness of each human life. The subsequent 280 days spent in the mother’s womb, a warm, dark, watery environment, mirrors the “ocean” (바다 해) from which life emerges. This journey culminates in birth, a perilous transition where both mother and child face life-threatening challenges. Ultimately, humans originate from the “White Heaven” (백궁), a celestial system that governs all life and the universe. From this divine origin, individuals embark on their earthly journey, with the ultimate destination being a return to the White Heaven, signifying the completion of their human experience.

  20. The Cycle of Reincarnation: From Human to Other Realms
    Contrary to scientific theories suggesting human evolution from single-celled organisms, humanity begins as humans. From this initial state, individuals can ascend to higher spiritual realms or descend into lower ones, such as hell, hungry ghosts, animals, or warring spirits (수라). Animals, for instance, possess an awareness of their past lives and their current karmic state, often expressing sorrow when facing death or separation. This cyclical journey of reincarnation, or “samsara,” is a process of learning and purification. The ultimate goal is to transcend these cycles and return to the White Heaven, signifying spiritual liberation.

  21. The Uniqueness of the Individual: The Barcode of the Soul
    Every human being possesses a unique “barcode” of the soul, manifested physically as fingerprints. Just as no two fingerprints are identical among billions of people, each individual’s spiritual essence is distinct. This uniqueness, bestowed by the celestial realm, underscores the inherent value and individuality of every person, even as all originate from a singular divine source.

  22. The Illusion of Death: Infinite Life and the White Heaven
    Human existence is not bound by a finite lifespan; rather, it is an infinite journey. Individuals have lived for an immeasurable duration and are destined to continue living indefinitely. Death, in this context, is not an end but a transition. The ultimate destination for all souls is the White Heaven, a return to their divine origin. This perspective challenges conventional notions of mortality, emphasizing the eternal nature of the soul and its cyclical journey through various realms.

  23. The Human Construction of Morality: Ethics and Customs
    Human ethics and morality are not divinely ordained but are constructs created by humans to facilitate societal living. Customs such as sharing one’s spouse with guests, or even consuming parts of deceased parents as a sign of filial piety, demonstrate the diverse and often contradictory nature of human-made rules. These ethical frameworks are constantly evolving to suit human convenience and societal needs. From a celestial perspective, such human-made rules are not absolute, and true divine will transcends these transient moral codes.

  24. The Power of Forgiveness and Enlightenment: Dissolving All Illusions
    When one achieves a high level of spiritual wisdom and enlightenment, all perceived problems and conflicts dissolve. Understanding and forgiveness become paramount, leading to the dissolution of anger, resentment, and judgment. This state of profound realization allows individuals to see beyond superficial appearances and embrace a reality where all is interconnected and ultimately forgivable. The path to enlightenment involves transcending the ego and embracing a universal perspective, where all suffering and joy are seen as transient illusions.

  25. The Journey to the White Heaven: Transcending the Three Realms
    The ultimate spiritual journey involves transcending the three realms of existence—desire, form, and formlessness—and returning to the White Heaven. While various religious traditions, such as Buddhism, propose paths like the Three Learnings (계정혜: precepts, meditation, wisdom), the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path, these are essentially human-made frameworks. The true path to the White Heaven involves cultivating wisdom, maintaining ethical conduct, and engaging in meditation, ultimately leading to enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of reincarnation. This journey represents the graduation from the human experience and a return to the divine source.

This excerpt comes from a 2017 lecture by Huh Kyung-young, a South Korean politician and spiritual leader, titled “Where Do Humans Come From and Where Do They Go?”. In this lecture, Huh Kyung-young shares his unique cosmology and philosophy of life, touching upon themes of human origin, the nature of reality, and the path to spiritual enlightenment. He challenges conventional religious interpretations and societal norms, offering his own distinct perspective on existence and morality.

Huh Kyung-young’s Unique Worldview

The Greatest Gift: Presence and the Encounter with Huh Kyung-young
the greatest gift in life is “the present moment” and, for his followers, “meeting him.” This highlights his self-perception as a divine figure and the core belief that his presence offers ultimate salvation and insight. It’s a bold claim that immediately sets him apart from conventional spiritual leaders.

이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 이걸 우리가 우리나라 말로 하면은 뭐죠? 현재 여러분이 지금 이 자리에 앉아 있다는 게 가장 큰 선물이야. 그래서 이 세상에, 근데 하늘에서 준 가장 큰 선물은 뭐죠? 허경영을 만나는 거예요.
What is the greatest gift in this world, if we put it in our language? The fact that you are sitting here right now is the greatest gift. in this world, what is the greatest gift from heaven? It’s meeting Huh Kyung-young.

Beyond Ideology and Religion: The “Super” Philosophy
He positions himself and his philosophy as “super-ideological, super-religious, and super-national.” This concept is impressive because it aims to transcend traditional divisions, suggesting a universal approach to human well-being focused on elevating everyone to a “middle-class” status, both materially and spiritually.

허경영은 초이념, 아시죠? 초종교, 알죠? 허경영은 초국경. 이런 거를 다 해서 모든 국민을 중산주의, 모든 국민을 중산주의 중산층으로 일단 만든다.
Huh Kyung-young is beyond ideology, you know? Beyond religion, you know? Huh Kyung-young is beyond borders, you know? By doing all of this, he will first make all citizens middle-class, a middle-class society.

Challenging Conventional Morality and Justice
Huh Kyung-young offers a contrarian view on crime and poverty, arguing that society and politicians are often the “real culprits” behind individual acts of desperation. This perspective is striking because it shifts blame from the individual to systemic failures, advocating for a more compassionate and understanding approach to justice, including presidential pardons for those driven to crime by hardship.

어떤 아버지가 자기 딸 등록금을 요번에 내면 마지막이야. 그러니까 대학 졸업 듣는 꿈이야. 근데 다른 직장도 못 구해 가지고 등록금을 못해서 졸업을 못 하게 되니까 아버지가 매번 연장을 하다가 도저히 안 되겠으니까 도둑질을 했어, 안 했어요? 도둑질해서 등록금 만들어서 갖다 주고 감옥 갔어. 무슨 일인지 알죠? 그러니까 그런 아버지들이 있으면 되겠어, 안 되겠어요? 그거를 그 아버지 잘못으로만 돌리면 될까? 안 돼요. 아버지 잘못으로만 돌릴 수 없어. 알죠? 이 아버지가 도둑질은 했지만, 도둑질을 만드는 사람이 누구예요? 진짜 도둑은 딴 데 있죠. 그런데 이 아버지는 그 딸한테 상처를 안 주려고 한 거야. 최대한 하다가도 안 되니까 도둑질을 한 거야.
A father’s daughter’s tuition payment this time was the last. it was a dream to graduate from college. But he couldn’t find another job and couldn’t pay the tuition, so his daughter couldn’t graduate. The father kept extending it, but when he couldn’t anymore, he stole, didn’t he? He stole to make tuition money, gave it to her, and went to jail. You know what I mean. can we have fathers like that? No. Can we blame it solely on the father’s fault? No. You know? This father stole, but who created the conditions for him to steal? The real thief is somewhere else. But this father didn’t want to hurt his daughter. He tried his best, and when he couldn’t, he stole.

그 범위는 누구냐? 국회의원들이야. 그 사람도 범인이지만, 그 위에 죽음이고 알겠습니까? 그래서 대통령은 1년에 한 번씩 민생사법, 도둑질한 사람들을 싹 풀어주는 거야. 왜 도둑질을 하게 된 원인을 파고 들어가 보면 정부 정치인 잘못한 탓이야.
Who is the culprit? It’s the National Assembly members. That person is a criminal, but above that is death. the president should release all those who stole once a year through a public welfare pardon. Because if you dig into the reasons why they stole, it’s the fault of the government politicians.

The Body as a Map of Existence: Eyes, Nose, and Mouth
His interpretation of the human face (eyes, nose, mouth) as representing present, future, and the bridge between them is a fascinating and unique metaphor. It’s a creative way to explain how our senses guide us through life, emphasizing the nose’s crucial role in connecting our immediate perception with future consequences.

그래서 이 눈은, 눈은 뭘 보는 거예요? 눈은 바로 이 현재, 현재를 보라고 있는 눈이야. 눈은 현재를 보게 하고 코는 뭘 봐요? 그럼 입은 뭘 볼까? 입은 미래를 보라고 있는 거예요. 요렇게 우리가 만들었어.
what do the eyes see? The eyes are there to see the present, the current moment. Right, isn’t it? The eyes make you see the present, and what does the nose see? Then what does the mouth see? The mouth is there to see the future. That’s how we made it.

그러면 코가 알려지죠. 그러면 이번 미래를 그러니까 알려주니까 코는 현재와 미래를 연결해 주는 거야,
Then the nose tells you. since the nose tells you about the future, it connects the present and the future.

The Illusion of Suffering and Joy: “Bulgo Bullak”
The concept of “Bulgo Bullak” (neither suffering nor joy), illustrated with the story of Saeongjiman, is a profound philosophical insight. It suggests that our perceptions of good and bad are transient and interconnected, urging a detached perspective on life’s ups and downs. This wisdom encourages generosity and a focus on the greater good, rather than getting caught up in personal pleasure or pain.

그러니까 고통과 즐거움이 계속 반복되어 안 돼요? 그러니까 그걸 고통스럽다고 해야 돼? 저렇다 해야 돼? 그러니까 인생은 불고 불낙.
do pain and joy keep repeating ? should we call it painful? Or joyful? life is neither suffering nor joy.

The Cycle of Life and Death: From White Heaven to the White Heaven
Huh Kyung-young presents a clear and distinct view on the human journey: originating from and returning to the White Heaven. This offers a sense of ultimate purpose and destination, contrasting with the often ambiguous explanations of traditional religions. His assertion that humans are not meant to die but to live infinitely, and that our journey is a cycle of learning and returning, is a powerful and comforting message for his followers.

인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가? 어디서 갑니까? 초등학교 들어가는 애가 이 교실에서 저 교실로 가기도 하고, 저 교실로 갈 수도 있어요. 학년이 올라가면 이 지구에 많은 비율이 있는데, 여러분이 자기가 가고 싶은 곳으로 때에 따라서 이동이 되지만, 가능하면 지구에 있어 사람이 지구에서 윤회하게 돼. 윤회하다가 나중에 마지막 가는 데가 백궁이야. 그럼 백궁으로 가는 것을 이제 뭐라고 그래요? 백궁으로 가는 게 인간 졸업이야. 그래서 인간 졸업을 하러 인간 어디로 가냐 하면은, 다시 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 겁니다.
Where do humans come from and where do they go? Where do they go? A child entering elementary school might go from this classroom to that classroom, or to that classroom. As you go up in grades, there are many proportions on this Earth, and you move to where you want to go according to the time, but if possible, humans stay on Earth and reincarnate on Earth. After reincarnation, the final destination is White Heaven. what do we call going to the White Heaven? Going to the White Heaven is human graduation. where do humans go to graduate? They come from White Heaven and return to the White Heaven.

Humans originate from and return to the White Heaven, having lived infinite lives and possessing an eternal soul. This lecture challenges conventional religious views, asserting that human morality is man-made and that true understanding comes from transcending such limitations.

  1. The Greatest Gift and Societal Problems
    The greatest gift in life is being alive in the present, while the greatest gift from heaven is meeting Huh Kyung-young, who aims to elevate all citizens to the middle class and address societal issues like poverty-driven crime.

1.1. The Greatest Gifts
The greatest gift in this world is the present moment, specifically being alive and present.
The greatest gift from heaven is meeting Huh Kyung-young.

1.2. Addressing Societal Issues and Political Failures
Huh Kyung-young criticizes the focus on “clearing out deep-rooted evils” (적폐청산) in politics, arguing that it neglects the livelihoods of the people.
He believes that constant infighting among politicians, similar to historical factionalism (e.g., Noron and Soron), has led to the downfall of nations.
Huh Kyung-young identifies as supra-ideological, supra-religious, and supra-national, aiming to make all citizens part of the middle class.
This means eliminating extreme poverty, ensuring no one is “more impoverished”.
He illustrates the problem with a story of a father who stole to pay his daughter’s tuition, highlighting that such acts are not solely the individual’s fault but also a result of societal failures.
the true “thieves” are those who create conditions forcing people to steal.
The father’s act, though illegal, was driven by a desire to protect his daughter, making his intention good rather than evil.

1.3. The Role of Government in Preventing Crime
Huh Kyung-young references an ancient emperor’s dying words, which advised against dismissing small good deeds and warned against committing even small evils.
This relates to the father’s theft, which was an evil act but driven by a good intention.
He suggests that politicians are ultimately responsible for the conditions that lead to such crimes.
Therefore, a president should periodically pardon those who committed theft, recognizing that the root cause often lies in government and political failures, such as debt.
The greatest gift from heaven is meeting Huh Kyung-young, and the greatest gift in this world is the present moment, which in English, “present” means both “now” and “gift”.
This implies that being alive and able to experience the present is the ultimate blessing.

  1. The Design of the Human Body and the Senses
    The human body, particularly the face, is designed with specific functions for each sense, where the eyes perceive the present, the mouth represents the future, and the nose acts as a bridge between the two, providing crucial information for survival.

2.1. The Purpose of Facial Features
The human face is intricately designed by a higher power, with each feature serving a specific purpose.
Eyebrows prevent rain from entering the eyes.
The outer ear (귓바퀴) is shaped to prevent water from entering the ear canal during washing.
The eyes are meant to observe the present.
The mouth is for seeing the future.

2.2. The Nose as a Bridge Between Present and Future
While eyes perceive the present, they can be deceived, especially when judging people or food.
The nose helps by detecting smells that reveal hidden truths, such as a person’s health (e.g., liver damage from alcohol).
The nose connects the present (what the eyes see) with the future (potential consequences).
For example, the nose can detect spoiled food that looks fine to the eyes, preventing illness or death.
Without the nose, one might consume contaminated food, leading to food poisoning.
The eyes and mouth are opposite in their functions: eyes see the present, while the mouth speaks of the future.
A child who has stolen will avoid eye contact because the eyes reveal the present truth.

2.3. The Importance of Huh Kyung-young’s Presence
He acknowledges that his audience might find waiting for him tedious, but emphasizes that seeing him is the greatest gift.
He notes that traffic was particularly bad due to the college entrance exam (Suneung) ending, causing delays.
He expresses envy for subway users who can keep appointments precisely.
The nose also plays a role in connecting the past, present, and future.
Misinterpreting past information (e.g., rumors about someone being a “swindler”) can negatively impact one’s future.
This is exemplified by how Jesus was initially persecuted and called a swindler, even by some Jews today.
Some Jewish traditions predict the Messiah will come from the East (Korea) 2000 years after Jesus.
meeting Huh Kyung-young is the greatest gift from heaven.
Just as the nose reveals hidden dangers in food, Huh Kyung-young reveals truths that are not immediately apparent.

  1. Reinterpreting Religious Teachings and the Nature of Existence
    Huh Kyung-young reinterprets religious teachings, particularly Buddhist concepts like “Above heavens, below heavens, I alone am the World-Honored One” and “All is but mind,” asserting that these have been misinterpreted or embellished by followers. all life is precious and that true understanding comes from recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and transcending human-made moral frameworks.

3.1. Misinterpretations of “Above Heavens, Below Heavens, I Alone Am the World-Honored One”
his lectures are becoming easier to understand for long-time viewers.
He clarifies that his concise explanations are due to time constraints, not a lack of understanding.
He addresses the Buddhist phrase “천상천하 유아독존” (Above heavens, below heavens, I alone am the World-Honored One), stating it’s a legend from the Eight Phases of the Buddha’s Life (팔상도), not a direct quote from Sakyamuni Buddha.
He compares it to stories about Jesus’s birth or Dangun’s myths, which are often mythological narratives created by followers to elevate religious figures.
The phrase was later embellished with “일체개고” (all is suffering) and “오당안지” (I shall bring peace to the world) by followers, implying Sakyamuni’s personal mission to alleviate suffering.
these additions are not part of the original Eight Phases and misrepresent the true meaning.
The “아” (I) in “유아독존” should refer to the evolution of all beings and nature, not Sakyamuni himself.
The original meaning emphasizes the preciousness of all life in the universe.
The added phrases, suggesting Sakyamuni’s personal quest to save the world, are a misinterpretation by disciples.
He omits these additions in his lectures because they are not the original meaning.

3.2. The Three Realms (삼계) and the Hierarchy of Beings
The term “삼세” (three worlds) in Buddhism refers to the Three Realms (삼계): the Realm of Desire (욕계), the Realm of Form (색계), and the Formless Realm (무색계).
All three realms, except the Formless Realm, are filled with suffering and desires.
Above the Formless Realm, there are True Beings (진인), who are superior to Saints (성인) like Jesus, Sakyamuni, and Confucius.
Huh Kyung-young implies that he is a True Being, a concept beyond human comprehension.
The hierarchy of beings descends from True Beings to Saints, then Taoists (도인), Philosophers (철인), Sages (현인), Petty Individuals (소인), and finally Ordinary People (범인/속인).
He notes that people often mistakenly believe Saints are the highest level.
Up to the Saint level, beings lack energy.

3.3. The Power of “Huh Kyung-young” and the Importance of Afterlife Investment
He mentions that simply calling out “Huh Kyung-young” can have a physical effect (e.g., preventing one’s hand from falling).
However, this effect only works if one’s mind is fully focused; any distracting thought will break the connection.
The question “Where do humans come from and where do they go?” is a nonsense question for all religions, as their answers differ and are incomprehensible.
Huh Kyung-young transcends religion, ideology, and national borders, indicating that people need to “graduate” from conventional religions.
The most significant investment in life is in the afterlife.
Accumulating wealth in this life is temporary, as one will eventually die.

3.4. The Consequences of Excessive Greed and Misguided Parenting
Heaven punishes excessive wealth and indulgence.
People who eat too much while others starve develop conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
This is because their blood becomes thick and sticky, like hair washed with honey, hindering circulation and leading to strokes.
In contrast, those who eat simply, like the poor, have healthy, free-flowing blood.
Wealthy families often struggle to have children due to these health issues, leading to their eventual decline.
This is a consequence of over-nutrition.
Heaven does not tolerate those who accumulate wealth through theft and indulge while others suffer.
He criticizes the idea that Sakyamuni Buddha’s teachings were about him personally alleviating suffering, calling it flattery.
The true interpretation of “유아독존” (I alone am the World-Honored One) is that all beings and things in the universe are precious and have inherent value.
This means everything, from cement to a single hair, is equally important.

  1. The Nature of Reality and the Path to Enlightenment
    Reality is a collection of vibrations and waves, not solid matter, and understanding this allows for a deeper comprehension of existence. True enlightenment involves transcending individual desires and embracing the well-being of all, leading to a society free from violence and focused on collective harmony.

4.1. The Concept of “I” in Buddhism and the True Meaning of “All is but Mind”
In Buddhism, the concept of “I” (아) can be understood in two ways: the public “I” (공적인 아), representing all life in the universe, and the private “I” (사적인 아), representing the individual self.
The private “I” refers to the physical body, while the public “I” refers to the spiritual essence or true nature.
The phrase “일체유심조” (All is but mind) is often presented in a truncated form.
Its full meaning, “약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조” (If one wishes to understand the fundamental root of all things, all Buddhas of the three worlds, and the nature of the Dharma realm, know that all is but mind), reveals that everything in the universe, including the Dharma realm, is created from the mind.
The mind is the lowest stage in a hierarchy of spiritual elements.
Above the mind is nature (성품), then feeling (감), and finally life (목숨).
Other elements like energy (기), body (몸), sexual energy (정력), touch (촉감), and breath (호흡) are also connected.
The mind is considered the “lowest-ranking employee” that must obey.
To control the mind, one must control these higher elements: control feelings (지감), regulate breath (조식), and restrain touch (금촉).
This leads to a state of neither suffering nor joy (불고불락), recognizing that both are temporary and interconnected, like the story of Saiwongjima (새옹지마).
Therefore, when experiencing joy, one should practice charity.

4.2. The Dangers of Selfishness and the Importance of Altruism
Excessive indulgence and selfish parenting can lead to negative consequences.
For example, overfeeding a child with grilled meat out of misguided love can lead to colon cancer 10-20 years later.
This shows that selfish actions, even with good intentions, can harm one’s children.
To ensure one’s children thrive, one must help other people’s children.
Focusing solely on one’s own child will lead to their downfall and one’s own ruin.
This is a “three-cushion” effect: helping others indirectly benefits oneself.
Parents should dress their children modestly and donate good clothes to charity.
This protects children from dangers like kidnapping, as illustrated by the story of a wealthy family’s driver’s son who was kidnapped and killed because he was dressed in expensive clothes.
The wealthy must engage in good deeds in proportion to their wealth.

4.3. The True Meaning of “Above Heavens, Below Heavens, I Alone Am the World-Honored One” and the Nature of Reality
The embellishments added to Sakyamuni’s teachings, such as “I alone am the World-Honored One,” are a disrespectful glorification by his disciples.
Sakyamuni would not have wanted such exaggerated claims, like a newborn walking seven steps and speaking profound words.
Huh Kyung-young omits these parts in his lectures because they are misinterpretations.
The world is a struggle between the individual (개인) and the collective (전체).
Individualism leads to ruin; one must consider the happiness of all people.
The “I” in “유아독존” refers to the collective, the preciousness of all life, not an individual’s superiority.
The phrase should be interpreted as a declaration of the dignity of all life, not Sakyamuni’s personal claim to glory.
All phenomena in the universe, including the Three Realms, are created from the mind.
Everything, from cells to quarks, is ultimately composed of vibrations and waves (파동).
This means reality is a wave-form entity.
Future technology will allow for holographic, three-dimensional televisions that project images into thin air, which children can “touch”.
This illustrates that what we perceive as solid reality, like a person’s body, is actually a collection of waves.
Causing harm to someone is like damaging their wave-form, causing pain.

4.4. The Severity of Violence and the Vision for a Peaceful Society
Huh Kyung-young believes that assault is a more severe crime than murder.
He would impose harsher penalties for those who intentionally harm others physically.
This is because all life is precious, and violence damages the fundamental wave-form of a being.
Those who commit frequent acts of violence would be exiled to Mongolia, never to return.
His vision is to create a clean land (Korea) inhabited only by peace-loving individuals.
This would require people to completely erase the concept of violence from their minds.

  1. The Origin and Destination of Humanity
    Humans originate from and return to the White Heaven, having lived infinite lives and possessing an eternal soul. This lecture challenges conventional religious views, asserting that human morality is man-made and that true understanding comes from transcending such limitations.

5.1. The Origin of Humans: From Water to the White Heaven
He asks where humans come from, implying he has taught this before.
He uses the example of a child to illustrate the preciousness of life.
The concept of 해불양수 (the sea does not reject any water) signifies that the ocean accepts all water.
This relates to human conception: out of 500 million sperm, only one reaches the egg, meaning 499,999,999 die for one person to be born.
This represents a fair competition.
Humans spend 280 days in the mother’s womb, which is like being in warm, dark water.
This period is a test of endurance.
Birth itself is a life-or-death struggle for both mother and child.
Therefore, every person, including those with disabilities, is precious.
He rejects the idea that disability is a punishment for past karma, stating that 99% of people have similar karma, with only a 1% difference determining their social status.
Human concepts of sin are often man-made.
For example, some cultures have traditions where wives are shared with guests, which is considered a custom, not a sin.
From heaven’s perspective, these are not sins.
The process of birth, from the womb to the outside world, is a challenging journey.
Children who are born quickly are considered “good,” while those who cause prolonged labor have “karma”.
The character for “sea” (海) contains the character for “mother” (母), symbolizing that the sea is like a mother who accepts and purifies all.
Historically, mothers (and society) were more forgiving of men’s infidelity, but this has changed.
Humans originally come from White Heaven, where all universal life systems are recorded.
He is a Heavenly God (천신) who has existed since before the universe began, without a beginning or end.

5.2. The Cycle of Reincarnation and the True Nature of the Soul
Humans do not evolve from lower life forms like amoebas or animals.
He refutes the scientific theory of evolution, stating it’s false.
He uses the analogy of cattle: fat cattle are bought by butchers (leading to a shorter life), while lean cattle are bought by farmers (for work and breeding).
Cattle know their past lives and cry when separated from their calves or sold to a butcher, indicating they were once human.
This suggests that humans can be reborn as animals due to their actions in a previous life.
Humans begin as humans and can ascend to higher states (like Buddha) or descend to lower ones.
The term “Buddha” (불) means “no dwelling place,” signifying a state of liberation.
Every human is born with a unique soul barcode, like a fingerprint, which is distinct for all 7 billion people and even 70 billion.
This barcode is given by a higher power.
While people may feel a sense of unity, each individual’s soul is unique, created by the Heavenly God.
Human lifespans are infinite; there is no true death.
Humans move between different “classrooms” or states of existence on Earth through reincarnation.
The ultimate destination is White Heaven, which is the “graduation” from human existence.
Therefore, humans come from White Heaven and return to the White Heaven.
Religions often provide unclear answers about the afterlife, creating rules and commandments that are man-made, not divine.
Examples include Mongolian customs of sharing wives or African tribes consuming parts of deceased parents to honor their spirits.
These ethics and morals are created by humans for their convenience and change over time.
The character for “ethics” (倫) implies a “human cage,” restricting human behavior.

5.3. The Path to Enlightenment and the End of Suffering
Humans can descend into lower realms like insects (버러지), ghosts (귀신), animals (짐승), or Asuras (수라).
Asuras are beings who are neither human nor animal, constantly fighting and causing trouble.
Those who focus on negativity and criticize Huh Kyung-young are likely descending.
Criticizing a heavenly being is a grave mistake.
Huh Kyung-young is unaffected by criticism because he knows the truth.
He references Wonhyo Daesa, a Buddhist monk who was rumored to have many wives, but these rumors were irrelevant to his enlightenment.
If one does not hold negative thoughts in their mind, they cease to exist.
A high level of wisdom and enlightenment dissolves all problems and brings forgiveness.
Understanding comes with time, often after a loved one’s death.
People nearing death often see their destination clearly; those who lived wickedly experience fear, while those who lived peacefully have serene faces.
Both one’s origin and destination are predetermined.
Humans cycle through the Three Realms (삼계): Desire, Form, and Formless.
To escape this cycle, Buddhism suggests practicing the Three Learnings (사막): precepts (계), meditation (정), and wisdom (혜).
By following these, one can achieve enlightenment and return to the White Heaven.
He concludes by acknowledging the delay due to the college entrance exam and traffic, emphasizing the importance of the time after the lecture

인간 존재의 근원과 삶의 가장 큰 선물

여러분, 이 지구상 그 어느 곳에서도 들어볼 수 없는 고차원적인 말씀입니다. 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 바로 여러분이 지금 이 자리에 앉아 있다는 것입니다. 하늘에서 준 가장 큰 선물은 허경영을 만나는 것이라고 말할 수 있습니다. 나는 쓸데없는 음해 세력에 시달리기도 합니다. 지난주에 적폐청산에 대해 지적했듯이, 민생을 우선해야 합니다. 국민들의 생활이 우선이지, 맨날 잡아들이고 적폐청산하며 나쁜 사람만 쳐다보면 우리 경제는 어디로 가겠습니까? 국회의원이라는 사람들이 맨날 서로 싸우는 모습은 노론 소론 싸움으로 500년 역사를 날려버린 조선 시대와 다를 바 없습니다. 허경영은 초이념, 초종교, 초국경을 지향하며 모든 국민을 중산층으로 만들고자 합니다. 서민은 사라지고 생활이 안정된 중산층이 되며, 부자들은 더 부자가 될 수 있지만, 더 가난한 사람은 없을 것입니다.

사회 문제의 근원과 정치인의 책임
어떤 아버지가 딸의 마지막 대학 등록금을 마련하지 못해 도둑질을 하고 감옥에 갔습니다. 딸에게 상처를 주지 않으려다 벌어진 일입니다. 이러한 상황을 단순히 아버지의 잘못으로만 돌릴 수 없습니다. 도둑질을 유발한 진짜 도둑은 따로 있습니다. 그 범인은 바로 국회의원들입니다. 대통령은 1년에 한 번씩 민생 사범, 즉 도둑질한 사람들을 풀어주어야 합니다. 도둑질을 하게 된 원인을 파고들면 정부와 정치인의 잘못이 드러나기 때문입니다. 빚더미 때문에 죄를 짓는 사람이 많고, 그 빚더미를 만든 자가 바로 정치인입니다.

현재, 미래, 그리고 인간의 오감
하늘에서 준 최고의 선물은 허경영을 만나는 것이지만, 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 바로 ‘현재(present)’입니다. 영어 단어 ‘present’는 선물과 현재라는 두 가지 의미를 가지고 있습니다. 아무리 좋은 선물을 받는 것보다 현재 내가 숨 쉬고 여러분을 볼 수 있다는 것이 가장 큰 복입니다. 우리는 얼굴을 만들 때 하늘에서 어떻게 만들었는지 모를 것입니다. 하지만 나는 얼굴을 만든 사람이기에 여러분에게 알려줄 수 있습니다. 눈썹은 비가 눈으로 들어오는 것을 막고, 귓바퀴는 귀에 물이 들어가지 않도록 설계되었습니다. 이는 우리가 머리를 감을 때를 미리 알고 만든 것입니다.

눈은 현재를 보라고 있는 것이고, 입은 미래를 보라고 있는 것입니다. 코는 현재와 미래를 연결해 주는 역할을 합니다. 눈으로 보기에 깨끗해 보이는 상한 음식도 코가 냄새를 맡아 알려주지 않으면 미래가 위험해질 수 있습니다. 코가 없다면 상한 음식을 먹고 식중독으로 죽을 수도 있습니다. 눈과 입은 반대입니다. 눈은 현재 상태를 보지만, 입은 미래를 말합니다. 어린아이가 도둑질을 하고 오면 부모의 눈을 피하려 합니다. 눈에서 현재의 잘못이 들키기 때문입니다. 코는 현재와 미래를 이어주는 다리 역할을 합니다. 귀에 들려오는 과거의 부정적인 이야기 때문에 사람을 잘못 판단하면 미래가 망가질 수 있습니다.

종교적 신화와 진정한 깨달음
모든 종교가 인간의 근본 문제, 즉 ‘인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가?’에 대해 이야기하지만, 그 해답은 넌센스입니다. 종교마다 다르고, 여러분이 알아들을 수 없는 세계를 이야기합니다. 허경영은 초종교, 초이념, 초국경 시대를 이야기하며, 여러분은 아직 종교를 졸업하지 못한 상태입니다. 인생에서 가장 큰 투자는 죽음 이후의 사후세계에 투자하는 것입니다. 아무리 많은 재산을 가지고 있어도 늙으면 결국 떠나게 됩니다. 잘 먹고 잘 살면 하늘에서 당뇨병이나 고혈압을 줍니다. 남은 굶는데 혼자 잘 먹으면 피가 꿀처럼 끈적해져 혈관을 막고 중풍이 오게 됩니다. 이는 천벌을 받는 것과 같습니다. 부자들은 자손이 없는 경우가 많고, 결국 망하게 됩니다. 지나친 욕심은 결국 고통을 초래합니다.

석가모니가 태어나자마자 일곱 발자국을 걷고 “천상천하 유아독존”이라고 말했다는 것은 팔상도에 나오는 전설일 뿐, 석가모니 입에서 나온 말이 아닙니다. 이는 석가모니를 높이기 위해 제자들이 만들어낸 신화적인 이야기입니다. “일체개고(一切皆苦)”라는 말은 대장경에 나오는 석가모니의 말이지만, “내가 모든 것을 구하겠다”는 의미로 뒤에 붙은 내용은 제자들이 지어낸 것입니다. “천상천하 유아독존”에서 ‘아(我)’는 개인적인 ‘나’가 아니라 우주 전체의 모든 생명, 만물의 본성을 의미합니다. 모든 만물은 소중하고 존귀하다는 뜻으로 해석해야 합니다. 석가모니의 인권 선언이 아니라 모든 생명체의 존귀함을 선언한 것입니다.

우주의 본질과 마음의 역할
이 우주 삼라만상은 모두 마음에서 만들어진 것입니다. 여러분의 세포를 파고들고, 원자를 파고들면 결국 쿼크가 나오고, 그 안에는 파동이 들어 있습니다. 모든 것은 진동하는 파동체입니다. 앞으로는 입체 TV가 허공에 나타나 만질 수 있지만 실체가 없는 것처럼, 우리의 인생도 환상을 보는 것과 같습니다. 우리의 몸 또한 파동의 집합체입니다. 파동에 상처를 주면 아픔이 남습니다. 아름다운 마음을 전하면 아름다운 파동이 유지되지만, 나쁜 파동을 주면 사과가 썩어 들어가듯 몸도 상처를 입습니다. 나는 대통령이 되면 살인범보다 사람을 때린 사람에게 중형을 선고할 것입니다. 폭행은 용서할 수 없는 행위입니다. 사람이 이렇게 존귀하다는 것을 알아야 합니다. 유정물, 무정물 모두 해당됩니다. 폭행을 자주 하는 사람은 몽골로 보내 다시는 돌아올 수 없게 할 것입니다. 한반도는 평화주의자, 행실이 바른 사람들만 모여 살게 될 것입니다.

인간의 기원과 윤회의 길
인간은 어디서 왔을까요? 여러분은 백궁에서 왔습니다. 백궁에는 모든 우주의 생명 시스템이 통계화되어 있고, 여러분을 만드는 과정도 다 기록되어 있습니다. 허경영이라는 천신은 이 우주가 무한대 이전부터 존재했기에 언제 만들어졌다고 할 수 없습니다. 시작도 끝도 없는 천국의 일심무시일 일정무종일(一心無始一 定無終一)에서 나는 왔습니다. 인간은 처음부터 인간으로 시작했습니다. 과학자들이 아메바에서 진화했다고 말하는 것은 거짓입니다. 소가 도살장에 끌려갈 때 눈물을 흘리는 것은 전생을 알기 때문입니다. 소는 전생에 사람이었음을 알고, 고생하면 다시 사람으로 갈 수 있다고 생각합니다. 인간은 중간 지점에서 시작하여 위로 올라가는 사람도 있고, 아래로 내려가는 사람도 있습니다.

인간으로 태어날 때 모든 인간에게는 영혼의 바코드인 지문이 정해져 있습니다. 70억 인구 중 같은 지문을 가진 사람은 없습니다. 이는 하늘에서 부여한 바코드입니다. 여러분의 수명은 무한대이며, 죽는 것은 없습니다. 인간은 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 것입니다. 이것이 인간 졸업입니다. 종교들은 이를 명확하게 이야기하지 않고, 믿음에 따라 천국에 가고 못 가고를 이야기하지만, 그러한 계율은 모두 인간이 만든 것입니다. 몽골에서는 손님에게 아내를 내어주는 풍습이 있었고, 아프리카 어떤 부족은 부모가 죽으면 그 살을 뜯어먹어 혼을 이어받는다고 생각합니다. 이러한 윤리나 도덕은 인간이 살기 편하게 만든 것이지, 하늘의 뜻이 아닙니다.

인간은 지옥, 아귀, 축생, 수라, 인간, 천상, 성문, 연각, 보살, 부처의 단계를 거칩니다. 악인은 귀신이나 짐승으로 태어날 수 있고, 수라는 사람도 짐승도 아닌 상태로 맨날 싸우고 술 마시는 사람을 말합니다. 허경영 강의에서 나쁜 것만 보는 사람들은 내려가는 사람들입니다. 원효대사처럼 많은 여자가 있었지만, 마음속에 담아두지 않으면 없는 것입니다. 술을 마셔도 물이라고 생각하면 물이 됩니다. 지혜가 높으면 모든 것이 사라지고 용서됩니다. 깨달으면 모든 것이 사라지는 것입니다. 죽을 때가 되면 자신이 갈 곳이 훤히 보입니다. 악하게 사는 사람은 갈 곳이 보이지 않아 공포에 떨지만, 선하게 사는 사람은 평화로운 얼굴로 죽음을 맞이합니다. 오는 것도 예정되어 있고, 가는 곳도 예정되어 있습니다. 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 것입니다. 삼계(욕계, 색계, 무색계)를 돌지 않으려면 불교에서 말하는 계정혜(戒定慧)를 통해 지혜를 깨달아야 합니다.

The Greatest Gift and the Purpose of Human Existence

The greatest gift in this world is the present moment, the fact that you are sitting here now, breathing and able to see. This understanding is embedded even in the English word “present,” which signifies both a gift and the current time. The ultimate gift from heaven, however, is encountering Huh kyung young.

The Interplay of Eyes, Nose, and Mouth: Perceiving Present, Past, and Future
Our facial features are designed with profound purpose. The eyes are meant to perceive the present. However, our vision alone is often insufficient to truly understand people or situations. This is where the nose plays a crucial role. The nose helps us discern hidden truths, such as the scent of illness or intoxication, connecting the present observation with potential future consequences. For instance, while milk may appear fresh to the eye, the nose can detect spoilage, preventing harm. The mouth, in this cosmic design, is intended to speak of the future. It is through our words that we articulate our aspirations and plans. Thus, the nose acts as a bridge, linking the present perceived by the eyes with the future articulated by the mouth, ensuring our well-being and guiding our actions.

Beyond Ideologies: The Philosophy of Super-Ideology and Middle-Class Society
Huh kyung young transcends conventional ideologies, religions, and national borders. His core philosophy is to elevate all citizens to the middle class, ensuring stable livelihoods for everyone. This means eliminating extreme poverty, though wealth disparities may still exist. The current system, where individuals are driven to desperate acts like theft due to financial hardship, is fundamentally flawed. Such acts are not solely the fault of the individual but are often a consequence of systemic failures and political mismanagement. Therefore, a leader should periodically grant amnesty to those who committed minor offenses due to economic hardship, recognizing that the root cause often lies with the political establishment.

The Misinterpretation of “Above Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Honored”
The Buddhist phrase “Above heaven and earth, I alone am honored” (天上天下 唯我獨尊) is often misunderstood. It is not a declaration of personal superiority by Siddhartha Gautama, but rather a profound statement about the inherent dignity and preciousness of all life and existence. This phrase, along with the accompanying “All existence is suffering” (一切皆苦), was added by later disciples to elevate Siddhartha Gautama, creating a mythological narrative around his birth. However, Siddhartha Gautama himself would not have desired such embellishment. The true meaning emphasizes the intrinsic value of every single entity in the universe, from a stone to a blade of grass, and every cell within a human body. This “I” refers to the universal, public self, the essence of all creation, not the individual, private self.

The Illusion of Suffering and Joy: The Principle of Non-Suffering, Non-Joy
Life is a continuous cycle of suffering and joy, as illustrated by the story of the old man and his horse (塞翁之馬). What appears to be a misfortune can lead to good fortune, and vice versa. Therefore, true wisdom lies in recognizing that neither suffering nor joy is absolute. This understanding, known as non-suffering, non-joy (不苦不樂), encourages us to maintain emotional equilibrium. When experiencing joy or prosperity, one should practice generosity and help others, rather than indulging in excessive self-gratification. Overindulgence, even in the name of love for one’s children, can lead to future suffering, such as illness. True care for one’s children involves helping others, as this creates a positive ripple effect that ultimately benefits one’s own family.

The Origin and Destination of Humanity: From White Heaven to the White Heaven
The fundamental question, “Where do humans come from and where do they go?” is often obscured by various religious interpretations. Humans originate from White Heaven, a celestial realm where the systems of the entire universe and all life are meticulously recorded. We are not products of evolution from lower life forms like amoebas, but rather begin our journey as humans. Our lifespan is infinite; we do not truly die but rather transition. Our ultimate destination is to return to the White Heaven, which signifies the “graduation” from human existence. Religions often impose man-made rules and moral codes, but from a cosmic perspective, these are human constructs. The true path is to understand the inherent value of all life and to strive for spiritual elevation.

The Cycle of Reincarnation and the Path to the White Heaven
Humanity exists in a cycle of reincarnation, traversing various realms such as hell, hungry ghosts, animals, fighting spirits, humans, and heavenly beings. While some may descend to lower realms due to negative actions, the ultimate goal is to ascend towards the state of a Buddha, which signifies a state of non-abidance, free from attachment. Every human is born with a unique spiritual barcode, akin to a fingerprint, signifying their individuality. This individuality, however, does not negate the interconnectedness of all beings. The journey through these realms eventually leads back to the White Heaven. While religions offer various paths like the Three Learnings (戒定慧: morality, meditation, wisdom) to achieve enlightenment, the essence is to cultivate wisdom and transcend suffering, ultimately returning to our origin in White Heaven.

Location
Not specified in the document
Speaker
Huh Kyung-young
Topic
The fundamental question of human origin and destiny, transcending politics and religion.
Key Concepts Discussed
The greatest gift, the meaning of “present,” the functions of eyes, nose, and mouth, the concept of “Chosangcheonha Yu-a Dokjon” (天上天下唯我獨尊), the nature of “Ilcheyusimjo” (一切唯心造), the stages of human existence, and the ultimate destination of humanity.

Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion
The greatest gift
The greatest gift in this world is the present moment of being alive.
The greatest gift from heaven is meeting Huh Kyung-young.
The English word “present” signifies both “now” and “gift,” implying that the current moment is the most precious gift.

The Functions of Human Senses
eyes: Designed to observe the present.
nose: Acts as a bridge between the present and the future, detecting hidden realities (e.g., spoiled food, illness) that the eyes cannot perceive.
mouth: Represents the future, as it is used for communication and sustenance, which are essential for future existence.
Ears: Primarily perceive past events, such as rumors or accusations.

Political and Social Commentary
Huh Kyung-young advocates for a “super-ideology,” “super-religion,” and “super-national” approach to unite all citizens into a middle class, eliminating extreme poverty.
He criticizes the focus on “clearing out deep-rooted evils” (적폐청산) and emphasizes prioritizing the livelihoods of the people.
He believes that many crimes, such as theft, stem from systemic failures and the burden of debt, for which politicians are ultimately responsible.
He proposes a “civilian amnesty” for thieves once a year, recognizing the underlying societal causes of their actions.
He suggests that excessive wealth and consumption lead to health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure, which he interprets as a form of divine punishment for neglecting the poor.
He advocates for helping others’ children to ensure the well-being of one’s own, emphasizing a “three-cushion” effect in good deeds.
He proposes severe punishment for assault, including banishment to Mongolia, to create a peaceful society.

Interpretation of Buddhist Concepts
“Chosangcheonha Yu-a Dokjon” (天上天下唯我獨尊 – In heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one):
Huh Kyung-young clarifies that this phrase, often attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, is a legend from the “Pal Sang Do” (Eight Scenes of the Buddha’s Life) and not a direct quote from the Buddha.
the phrase has been misinterpreted and embellished by later followers to elevate the Buddha.
He interprets “아” (a) in “유아독존” as representing the “evolution of all things” (만물의 진화) and the “inherent nature of all beings” (만물의 본성), signifying that all life and matter are precious and noble.
He criticizes the addition of “Ilchegaego” (一切皆苦 – All is suffering) and “Odang Anji” (吾當安之 – I shall bring peace to the world) to the original phrase, as these additions personalize the statement to the Buddha and create a “nonsense” narrative of a newborn walking and speaking.
“Ilcheyusimjo” (一切唯心造 – Everything is created by the mind):
this phrase is often truncated and its full meaning is “If one wishes to understand the root of all things, all Buddhas of the three worlds, and the nature of the Dharma realm, know that everything is created by the mind”.
He defines “mind” (마음) as the lowest stage in a hierarchy of spiritual elements, with “nature” (성품), “feeling” (감), “life” (목숨), and “qi” (기) being higher stages.
He emphasizes the importance of controlling emotions (지감), regulating breathing (조식), and restraining desires (금촉) to achieve inner peace and wisdom.
He introduces the concept of “Bulgo Bullak” (불고불락 – Neither suffering nor joy), suggesting that pain and pleasure are interconnected and cyclical, as illustrated by the story of “Saengongjima” (새옹지마).

The Nature of Reality
All matter, from cells to quarks, is ultimately composed of vibrations and waves (파동).
He predicts the advent of holographic 3D televisions that project images into space, which can be interacted with but are not physical.
He asserts that human bodies are also collections of vibrations, and negative actions cause “vibrational damage”.

Human Origin and Destiny
Origin: Humans originate from the “White Heaven” (백궁 – White Heaven), a system that contains all universal and life systems.
He refutes the scientific theory of evolution from amoebas, stating that humans began as humans.
He uses the analogy of sperm competing to reach an egg to illustrate the fierce competition and sacrifice involved in human birth, emphasizing the preciousness of every individual, including those with disabilities.
He explains that the “sea” (바다) in the Chinese character for “sea” (海) contains the character for “mother” (母), symbolizing the mother’s womb as a “sea” where a fetus develops for 280 days.
He suggests that the ease of childbirth reflects a person’s “karma” (업장), with quick births indicating a “good” soul and difficult births indicating a soul with more “karma”.
each human has a unique “barcode” or “fingerprint” of the soul, ensuring no two individuals are alike.
Destiny: Humans are destined to return to the White Heaven, which is the “graduation” from human existence.
He criticizes religions for creating man-made rules and moral codes that deviate from the true will of heaven.
He describes the “three realms” (삼계) of existence – “Yokgye” (욕계 – desire realm), “Saekgye” (색계 – form realm), and “Musekgye” (무색계 – formless realm) – and explains that humans cycle through these realms.
He asserts that true enlightenment and wisdom lead to the dissolution of all suffering and the attainment of forgiveness.
He believes that one’s destination after death is predetermined and revealed before death, bringing either peace or fear depending on how one has lived.

  3. (00:00:00) Opening Remarks and Introduction
    The audience expresses gratitude for the high-level, unique insights provided by Huh Kyung-young.
    Dr. Kang introduces Huh Kyung-young, receiving praise for his excellent delivery.
    Huh Kyung-young notes the absence of such an introducer for his own lectures.

  4. (00:01:00) The Greatest Gift and Political Critique
    Huh Kyung-young states that the greatest gift in this world is the present moment of existence.
    the greatest gift from heaven is meeting him.
    He criticizes the focus on “clearing out deep-rooted evils” (Jeokpye Cheongsan) over prioritizing the livelihoods of the people.
    constant political infighting, like the historical Noron-Soron conflicts, harms the economy.
    He defines himself as “beyond ideology, beyond religion, and beyond borders,” aiming to elevate all citizens to the middle class.
    while the wealthy will remain, extreme poverty will be eradicated.

  5. (00:03:40) The Father’s Theft and Societal Responsibility
    Huh Kyung-young recounts a story of a father who stole to pay his daughter’s university tuition, leading to his imprisonment.
    He questions whether the father alone is to blame, suggesting that societal failures contribute to such acts.
    the “real thief” is the system that forces people into such situations.
    He interprets the father’s act as one of “good” intention, despite being legally “bad”.
    He references a historical anecdote about Emperor Soyeol’s dying words, emphasizing that small evils should be avoided, and small good deeds should not be neglected.
    He concludes that politicians are ultimately responsible for creating conditions that lead to such crimes.
    He proposes that a president should periodically pardon those who commit theft due to economic hardship, as their actions often stem from political failures.

  6. (00:07:00) The Meaning of “Present” and Human Senses
    the English word “present” signifies both “now” and “gift,” implying that being alive in the present is the greatest blessing.
    He describes how human facial features, like eyebrows and earlobes, are designed to protect the body.
    He explains that the eyes are for seeing the present, the nose connects the present and future, and the mouth is for the future.
    He illustrates how the nose helps detect spoiled food or illness, protecting one’s future, even when the eyes perceive something as clean.
    He notes that children who steal avoid eye contact, as their eyes reveal their present actions.

  7. (00:12:00) Traffic Congestion and the Value of Time
    Huh Kyung-young describes the heavy traffic on a Saturday after the college entrance exam, causing him to be late.
    He expresses envy for subway users who can keep appointments precisely.
    seeing him is the “greatest gift,” justifying the wait.

  8. (00:13:00) Past, Present, Future, and the Messiah
    Huh Kyung-young discusses how past rumors can negatively influence future judgments.
    He uses the example of Jesus, who was initially persecuted and called a “fraud” by some, including Jews who still await a Messiah from the East.
    He outlines the lineage from Adam to Jesus, spanning 60 generations and 4000 years, and notes the Jewish belief in a Messiah arriving 2000 years after Jesus.
    the “greatest gift from heaven” is his presence.

  9. (00:17:00) Interpretation of Buddhist Teachings
    Huh Kyung-young addresses a question about his interpretation of “Cheonsang Cheonha Yu-a Dokjon” (In heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one).
    He explains that this phrase, found in the “Palsangdo” (Eight Scenes of the Buddha’s Life), is a legend, not a direct quote from Sakyamuni.
    He compares it to myths surrounding the birth of Jesus or Dangun, suggesting it’s a “convenient explanation” to elevate Sakyamuni.
    He criticizes the addition of “Ilchegaego” (all is suffering) and “Odang Anji” (I shall bring peace to the world) to the original phrase, arguing these were later additions by followers to glorify Sakyamuni.
    He clarifies that “Ilchegaego” is a genuine teaching of Sakyamuni found in the Tripitaka, meaning “all is suffering,” but its connection to “Yu-a Dokjon” is a misinterpretation.
    He asserts that the true meaning of “Yu-a Dokjon” refers to the preciousness and dignity of all life and the evolution of all things in the universe, not Sakyamuni’s personal supremacy.
    He explains that “A” (아) in this context represents the collective, universal self, while “O” (오) represents the individual self.
    He criticizes the misinterpretation that portrays Sakyamuni as a newborn walking and declaring himself the savior.
    He also discusses the phrase “Ilcheyusimjo” (everything is created by the mind), explaining that its full context is often omitted.
    He reveals the full phrase: “If one wishes to know the fundamental root of all things, observe the nature of the Dharma-realm, and all things are created by the mind”.
    He defines “mind” as the lowest stage, with “nature,” “feeling,” “life,” and “qi” as higher stages.
    He introduces the concepts of “Jigam” (controlling emotions), “Josik” (regulating breath), and “Geumchok” (restraining touch) as ways to control the mind.
    He explains “Bulgo Bullak” (neither suffering nor joy) using the “Saewongjima” (blessing in disguise) anecdote, illustrating how pain and pleasure are intertwined and cyclical.
    He advises generosity and helping others, especially for parents, to ensure their children’s well-being, using the “three-cushion” analogy.
    He warns against excessive indulgence in food, linking it to future health problems like colon cancer, and emphasizes the importance of simple, healthy eating.
    He shares a story of a wealthy family’s driver’s son being kidnapped and killed due to wearing expensive clothes, highlighting the dangers of flaunting wealth and the importance of humility.
    He advocates for severe punishment for assault, even more so than for murder, as it inflicts “wave” damage.
    He proposes sending violent criminals to Mongolia, ensuring a crime-free Korea.

  10. (00:39:00) The Origin and Destination of Humanity
    Huh Kyung-young asks the fundamental question: “Where do humans come from and where do they go?”.
    He interacts with a child, expressing affection and highlighting the child’s early encounter with him.
    He explains “Haebulyangsu” (the sea does not reject any water), symbolizing the mother’s womb as a “sea” that accepts all life.
    He describes the journey of 500 million sperm, with only one reaching the egg, emphasizing the preciousness of each human life.
    He explains that humans spend 280 days in the mother’s womb, a “hot, dark water”.
    He describes the perilous birth process, where both mother and child face life-threatening risks.
    He asserts that all humans are equally precious, regardless of disability, and that “karma” differences are minimal.
    He discusses cultural variations in morality, such as wife-sharing in Mongolia or cannibalism in some African tribes, arguing that human ethics are man-made, not divine.
    humans originate from “White Heaven” (Heaven) and return there, which he calls “human graduation”.
    He refutes the scientific theory of evolution from amoebas, stating that humans begin as humans.
    He uses the analogy of cattle markets to illustrate how those who overindulge are like fattened cows destined for slaughter, linking it to health problems like high blood pressure and diabetes.
    He describes how cattle destined for slaughter cry, knowing their fate, and how cows recognize their owners, implying animals have awareness of their past lives.
    He explains that humans are born with a unique “barcode” (fingerprint) for their soul, emphasizing individuality.
    human lifespan is infinite, with no true death.
    He explains that humans “reincarnate” on Earth, eventually returning to the White Heaven.
    He criticizes religions for creating man-made rules and not clearly explaining the path to the White Heaven.
    He defines “ethics” (인륜) as a “prison” that confines humans with rules like monogamy.
    He explains that humans can descend into various realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras) or ascend to higher states (heaven, arhats, pratyekabuddhas, bodhisattvas, buddhas).
    He warns against focusing on negative aspects of others, as it leads to spiritual decline.
    He mentions Wonhyo, a historical figure, and his complex personal life, suggesting that such matters are inconsequential if not dwelled upon.
    enlightenment dissolves all problems and brings forgiveness.
    He describes how people nearing death either experience peace if they lived well or terror if they lived wickedly, as their destination becomes clear.
    He concludes by mentioning the “Three Realms” (Samgye: desire, form, formless realms) and the Buddhist path of “Samhak” (three trainings: precepts, meditation, wisdom) as ways to reach White Heaven.

인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가?
이 강연은 인간의 근본적인 질문인 ‘인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가?’에 대한 허경영 총재의 답변을 중심으로, 종교적 가르침과 세상의 이치를 넘나들며 삶의 본질과 올바른 태도에 대해 설명합니다.

  1. 인간의 근본적인 질문과 허경영의 답변
    인간의 가장 큰 선물: 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 ‘현재 살아있음’ 그 자체이며, 하늘에서 준 가장 큰 선물은 허경영을 만나는 것이다.

인간의 기원과 목적: 인간은 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 존재이다. 이 세상에서의 삶은 백궁으로 돌아가기 위한 과정이며, 죽음 이후의 사후세계에 투자하는 것이 인생에서 가장 큰 투자이다.

백궁: 모든 우주의 생명 시스템이 통계화되어 있고, 인간을 만드는 과정이 모두 정해져 있는 곳이다.

천신: 허경영은 우주가 무한대 이전부터 존재했듯이, 시작과 끝이 없는 천국에서 온 천신으로 존재한다.

윤회: 인간은 지구에서 윤회하다가 마지막에 백궁으로 돌아가며, 이것을 ‘인간 졸업’이라고 부른다.

  1. 세상의 이치와 인간의 삶
    초종교, 초이념, 초국경: 허경영은 모든 종교와 이념, 국경을 초월하는 존재이며, 사람들은 아직 종교의 단계를 졸업하지 못했다.

하늘의 섭리:

과도한 욕심에 대한 경고: 남은 굶는데 혼자 잘 먹고 부자가 되면 하늘은 당뇨병이나 고혈압 같은 병을 주어 벌을 내린다. 이는 피가 꿀처럼 끈적해져 혈관을 막기 때문이다.

자식 사랑의 지혜: 자식을 위하는 가장 현명한 방법은 내 자식에게만 잘해주는 것이 아니라, 남의 어려운 사람을 돕는 것이다. 이는 ‘쓰리쿠션’과 같아서 남을 도우면 결국 내 자식이 잘 된다.

예시: 좋은 옷을 입은 부잣집 아이가 납치당하는 사건처럼, 지나친 물질적 풍요는 오히려 위험을 초래할 수 있다.

인간의 오감과 삶의 지혜:

눈: 현재를 보게 한다.

코: 현재와 미래를 연결해 주는 역할을 한다. 상한 음식을 눈으로만 봐서는 모르지만, 코로 냄새를 맡아 미래의 위험(식중독 등)을 알려준다.

입: 미래를 말하게 한다.

귀: 과거의 이야기를 듣게 한다. 잘못된 소문이나 판단으로 인해 미래를 망칠 수 있으므로 주의해야 한다.

고통과 즐거움의 반복 (불고불락): 인생은 고통과 즐거움이 계속 반복되는 새옹지마와 같다. 고통스러운 일이 즐거움의 원천이 될 수 있고, 즐거운 일이 고통으로 이어질 수 있으므로, 즐거울 때는 남에게 베풀어야 한다.

  1. 종교적 가르침의 재해석
    ‘천상천하 유아독존’의 진정한 의미:

기존 해석의 문제점: 석가모니가 태어나자마자 일곱 발자국을 걷고 “천상천하 유아독존”이라고 말했다는 것은 후대 제자들이 석가모니를 미화하기 위해 덧붙인 전설적인 이야기이다.

‘일체개고’의 추가: ‘천상천하 유아독존’ 뒤에 ‘일체개고(모든 것이 고통 속에 있으니 내가 구하겠다)’라는 말이 덧붙여졌는데, 이는 석가모니가 아닌 후대 사람들이 지어낸 것이다.

‘오당안지’의 오류: ‘오당안지(내가 마땅히 이 세상을 편안하게 하리라)’ 역시 후대 사람들이 덧붙인 것으로, 석가모니를 개인적인 구원자로 해석하게 만든다.

허경영의 해석: ‘천상천하 유아독존’에서 ‘아(我)’는 개인적인 ‘나’가 아니라 우주 전체의 모든 생명과 만물의 본성을 의미한다. 즉, 모든 생명체와 만물이 존귀하다는 선언이다.

개인주의의 위험: 개인주의로 나가는 사람은 망하며, 모든 사람의 행복을 생각해야 한다.

‘일체유심조’의 진정한 의미:

생략된 구절: ‘일체유심조(모든 것은 마음이 만든다)’는 원래 “약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조(만약 사람이 근본 뿌리를 알고 싶으면 삼세 일체불, 세상의 모든 부처들도 법계의 모든 성품은 모두 마음에서 만들어졌다)”라는 긴 구절의 일부가 생략된 것이다.

마음의 단계: 마음은 성품, 감, 목숨, 기, 정력, 촉감, 호흡, 감촉 등 9가지 요소 중 가장 낮은 단계의 시작점이다.

수행의 중요성: 감정을 조절하고(지감), 숨을 잘 쉬고(조식), 촉감을 금지하는(금촉) 수행을 통해 마음을 다스려야 한다.

인간의 시작점:

진화론 부정: 과학자들이 주장하는 아메바에서 인간으로 진화했다는 설은 거짓이다.

인간으로 시작: 인간은 처음부터 인간으로 시작하여, 지옥, 아귀, 축생, 수라, 인간, 천상, 성문, 연각, 보살, 부처의 10단계 중 중간 지점인 인간에서 시작하여 위로 올라가거나 아래로 내려갈 수 있다.

전생의 기억: 소는 전생을 기억하여 도살장에 팔려갈 때 울고, 농부에게 팔려갈 때는 울지 않는다. 이는 인간이 전생에 지은 업보에 따라 다른 존재로 태어날 수 있음을 보여준다.

윤리와 도덕의 상대성:

인간이 만든 것: 윤리와 도덕은 하늘이 만든 것이 아니라 인간이 살기 편하게 스스로 만든 것이다.

문화적 다양성: 몽골에서는 손님에게 아내를 내어주는 풍습이 있었고, 아프리카 일부 부족은 부모의 시신 일부를 먹는 풍습이 있듯이, 각 문화권마다 윤리 기준이 다르다.

‘인륜’의 의미: ‘인륜(人倫)’은 인간을 일정한 감옥에 가두어 놓은 것과 같다.

깨달음과 용서: 도가 높고 지혜가 높으면 모든 것이 사라지고 용서된다. 깨달음을 얻으면 모든 것을 이해하게 된다.

죽음의 순간: 악하게 산 사람은 죽기 전에 갈 곳이 보이지 않아 공포에 떨지만, 선하게 산 사람은 평화로운 얼굴로 죽음을 맞이한다.

삼계와 사막: 불교에서는 욕계, 색계, 무색계의 삼계를 벗어나기 위해 사막(계정혜)을 수행해야 한다고 가르친다. 계율을 지키고, 명상하고, 정진하여 지혜를 깨달으면 백궁으로 갈 수 있다.

  1. 허경영의 정치적 비전과 사회 문제 해결
    민생 우선: 적폐청산보다는 국민들의 민생을 우선해야 한다. 정치인들이 당파 싸움만 하는 것은 과거 노론 소론 싸움으로 나라를 망친 것과 같다.

중산주의: 모든 국민을 중산층으로 만들고, 더 가난한 사람은 없게 하는 중산주의를 추구한다.

범죄의 근본 원인: 도둑질과 같은 범죄는 개인의 잘못뿐만 아니라, 정부와 정치인의 잘못된 정책으로 인해 발생하기도 한다.

대통령의 역할: 대통령은 1년에 한 번씩 민생 사면을 통해 도둑질한 사람들을 풀어주어야 한다.

폭력 범죄에 대한 엄단: 사람을 때리는 폭행은 살인범보다 더 중한 죄로 다스려야 한다. 폭행범은 몽골로 보내 다시는 돌아올 수 없게 하여 한반도를 깨끗한 땅으로 만들 것이다.

  1. 인간의 탄생 과정
    해불양수 (海不讓水): 바다는 어떤 물도 사양하지 않고 받아들이듯이, 어머니의 자궁은 모든 생명을 받아들인다.

정자와 난자의 경쟁: 5억 개의 정자 중 단 하나만이 난자를 만나 인간으로 태어난다. 이는 4억 9천 999명이 죽고 한 명이 살아남는 공정한 경쟁의 결과이다.

어머니 자궁 속 280일: 인간은 어머니의 자궁이라는 뜨겁고 어두운 물속에서 280일을 기다려야 한다.

출산의 고통: 태어나는 과정은 어머니와 아이 모두에게 목숨을 건 싸움이다. 어떤 아이는 어머니를 죽이려 하거나, 발바닥부터 내밀어 나오지 않으려 하기도 한다.

장애인의 존귀함: 모든 인간은 5억 대 1의 경쟁을 뚫고 태어난 소중한 존재이므로, 장애인이라 할지라도 절대적으로 존귀하다.

업보의 차이: 인간의 업보는 99% 비슷하며, 1%의 차이로 계급이 정해진다. 빨리 태어나는 아이는 착한 아이이고, 늦게 태어나는 아이는 업장이 있는 아이다.

허경영 강연: 인간의 근본 문제와 삶의 진리

  1. 삶의 가장 큰 선물: 현재와 허경영
    이 세상의 가장 큰 선물: 현재 이 자리에 존재함이다.

하늘이 준 가장 큰 선물: 허경영을 만남이다.

영어 단어 ‘present’는 ‘현재’와 ‘선물’ 두 가지 의미를 지닌다.

이는 현재 살아 숨 쉬며 타인을 볼 수 있는 것이 가장 큰 복임을 의미한다.

  1. 정치와 민생: 적폐청산보다 중요한 것
    민생 우선: 적폐청산보다 국민의 생활 안정이 우선이다.

중산주의 실현: 모든 국민을 중산층으로 만들고, 가난한 사람이 없는 사회를 지향한다.

  1. 선과 악의 경계: 아버지의 도둑질 사례
    등록금을 위한 도둑질: 딸의 등록금을 마련하기 위해 도둑질을 한 아버지의 사례는 단순한 개인의 잘못으로 볼 수 없다.

진정한 도둑: 아버지를 도둑질하게 만든 사회 구조와 정치인에게 더 큰 책임이 있다.

유비의 유언: 선은 작다고 피해서는 안 되며, 악은 작다고 행해서는 안 된다.

아버지의 행위는 악이지만, 그 이면에는 선한 의도가 있었다.

  1. 신체 기관의 역할: 현재와 미래의 연결
    눈: 현재를 보게 한다.

코: 현재와 미래를 연결한다.

냄새를 통해 음식의 상한 여부나 질병을 감지하여 미래의 위험을 알려준다.

입: 미래를 말한다.

눈과 입의 대조: 눈은 현재 상태를 보지만, 입은 미래를 지향한다.

도둑질한 아이가 부모의 눈을 피하는 것은 현재의 잘못이 들킬까 두려워하기 때문이다.

  1. 종교적 가르침의 재해석: 천상천하 유아독존
    천상천하 유아독존: 석가모니가 태어나자마자 했다는 이 말은 후대 제자들이 미화하여 덧붙인 전설이다.

원래 의미는 모든 생명체의 존귀함을 선언하는 것이다.

‘아(我)’는 우주 전체의 생명, 즉 공적인 ‘나’를 의미하며, 개인적인 ‘나’와는 다르다.

후대에 ‘일체개고(一切皆苦)’나 ‘오당안지(吾當安之)’와 같은 구절이 덧붙여져 석가모니가 세상을 구원하겠다는 의미로 변질되었다.

삼계(三界): 욕계, 색계, 무색계를 의미하며, 이 삼계는 고통 가운데 있다.

무색계만이 번뇌가 끊어지는 곳이다.

진인과 성인: 성인(예수, 석가, 공자 등) 위에 진인이 존재하며, 허경영은 진인이다.

성인 단계까지는 에너지가 없다.

  1. 일체유심조(一切唯心造)의 진정한 의미
    원문: “약인욕요지 삼세일체불 응관법계성 일체유심조(若人欲了知 三世一切佛 應觀法界性 一切唯心造)”

해석: 사람이 삼세의 모든 부처를 알고자 한다면, 법계의 성품을 보아야 한다. 모든 것은 오직 마음이 만든 것이다.

마음의 단계: 마음은 성품의 가장 낮은 단계이며, 성품은 감(感), 감은 목숨, 목숨은 기(氣)와 연결된다.

마음을 잘 다스리기 위해서는 지감(止感), 조식(調息), 금촉(禁觸)이 필요하다.

  1. 고통과 즐거움의 반복: 새옹지마
    인생의 본질: 고통과 즐거움은 끊임없이 반복되며, 어느 한쪽도 영원하지 않다.

불고불락(不苦不樂): 고통도 즐거움도 본질적으로는 존재하지 않는다.

  1. 지나친 욕심의 결과: 건강과 자식
    부자의 병: 남을 굶주리게 하고 혼자 잘 먹는 부자는 당뇨병, 고혈압 등 질병에 걸린다.

이는 피가 꿀처럼 끈적해져 혈액순환을 방해하기 때문이다.

자식 교육: 자식을 위한다면 남의 자식을 돕고, 자신의 자식에게는 검소함을 가르쳐야 한다.

지나친 사랑과 물질적 풍요는 오히려 자식에게 해가 될 수 있다.

남의 자식을 돕는 것이 결국 자신의 자식을 돕는 길이다.

  1. 인간의 기원과 윤회: 백궁으로의 회귀
    해불양수(海不讓水): 바다는 어떤 물도 마다하지 않고 받아들인다.

생명의 탄생: 5억 개의 정자 중 하나가 난자를 만나 인간으로 태어난다.

이는 공정한 경쟁의 결과이며, 모든 생명은 소중하다.

어머니의 자궁: 인간은 어머니의 자궁이라는 뜨겁고 어두운 물속에서 280일을 보낸다.

이는 바다가 모든 것을 포용하는 어머니와 같음을 의미한다.

인간의 시작: 인간은 처음부터 인간으로 시작하며, 아메바에서 진화했다는 과학적 주장은 거짓이다.

소는 전생을 기억하며, 인간의 업보에 따라 다른 생명체로 윤회할 수 있다.

윤회의 목적: 인간은 지구에서 윤회하다가 최종적으로 백궁으로 돌아간다.

백궁은 모든 우주 생명 시스템의 근원이며, 시작과 끝이 없는 곳이다.

인간의 수명은 무한하며, 죽음은 존재하지 않는다.

  1. 윤리와 도덕: 인간이 만든 규율
    인간의 창조물: 종교의 계율, 몽골의 풍습, 아프리카의 식인 풍습 등은 모두 인간이 만든 것이다.

윤리의 변화: 윤리와 도덕은 인간의 편의에 따라 끊임없이 변화한다.

인륜(人倫): 인간을 일정한 감옥에 가두는 역할을 한다.

하늘의 뜻: 허경영의 강연 내용이 곧 하늘의 뜻이다.

  1. 깨달음과 용서: 마음의 중요성
    폭력의 중죄: 사람을 때리는 행위는 살인보다 더 큰 죄이다.

폭행을 자주 하는 자는 한반도에서 추방될 것이다.

마음의 힘: 마음속에 담아두지 않으면 부정적인 것은 존재하지 않는다.

술을 물이라고 생각하면 물이 된다.

깨달음의 효과: 지혜가 높아 깨달으면 모든 것이 사라지고 용서된다.

죽음이 임박하면 자신의 갈 곳이 보이며, 악하게 산 자는 공포에 떨고 선하게 산 자는 평화롭다.

. 인간 존재의 근원과 가장 큰 선물
이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 바로 지금 이 자리에 앉아 있는 현재의 존재이다. 하늘이 준 가장 큰 선물은 허경영을 만나는 것이다.

  1. 민생 문제와 정치의 역할
    적폐 청산보다는 민생을 우선해야 한다. 국민들의 생활이 우선이지, 나쁜 사람만 쳐다보면 경제는 어려워진다. 국회의원들이 서로 싸우는 동안 나라는 발전하지 못했다. 허경영은 초이념, 초종교, 초국경을 지향하며, 모든 국민을 중산층으로 만들고자 한다.

  2. 선과 악, 그리고 아버지의 도둑질
    어떤 아버지가 딸의 등록금을 마련하기 위해 도둑질을 하고 감옥에 갔다. 이러한 상황을 아버지의 잘못으로만 돌릴 수 없다. 도둑질을 하게 만든 진짜 원인은 다른 곳에 있다. 아버지는 딸에게 상처를 주지 않으려다 어쩔 수 없이 도둑질을 한 것이다.

한나라의 소열 황제가 죽을 때 남긴 유언은 “선은 작다고 아니하면 안 되고, 악은 작다고 해서는 안 된다”는 것이다. 이 아버지의 행위는 악을 행했지만, 그 동기는 선에 가까웠다.

  1. 대통령의 역할과 민생 사범
    대통령은 1년에 한 번씩 민생 사범, 즉 도둑질한 사람들을 풀어주어야 한다. 그들이 도둑질을 하게 된 원인을 파고들면, 정부와 정치인의 잘못이 크기 때문이다. 빚 때문에 죄를 짓는 사람이 많으며, 그 빚더미의 원인 제공자는 정치인이다.

  2. 현재의 중요성과 오감의 역할
    이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 현재(Present)이다. 영어 단어 ‘Present’는 선물과 현재라는 두 가지 의미를 가지고 있다. 현재 숨 쉬고 여러분을 볼 수 있는 것이 가장 큰 복이다.

하늘은 인간의 얼굴을 만들 때 각 기관에 의미를 부여했다.

눈썹: 비가 눈으로 들어가지 않게 한다.

귓바퀴: 머리 감을 때 귀에 물이 들어가지 않게 한다.

눈: 현재를 보라고 존재한다.

코: 현재와 미래를 연결해 준다. 눈으로 보기에 멀쩡해 보여도 코는 냄새를 통해 병이나 상한 음식을 감지하여 미래의 위험을 알려준다.

입: 미래를 말하라고 존재한다.

  1. 천상천하 유아독존의 진정한 의미
    천상천하 유아독존(天上天下 唯我獨尊)은 석가모니가 태어나자마자 한 말로 알려져 있지만, 이는 불교의 팔상도에 나오는 전설적인 이야기이며, 석가모니 본인이 직접 한 말은 아니다. 이는 석가모니를 높이기 위해 후대 사람들이 만들어낸 신화적인 이야기이다.

이 말 뒤에 흔히 붙는 일체개고(一切皆苦)는 “모든 것이 고통 속에 있으니 내가 그것을 구하겠다”는 뜻으로, 대장경에 석가모니가 한 말로 기록되어 있다. 그러나 이 구절은 팔상도에는 나오지 않으며, 후대 사람들이 덧붙인 것이다.

‘아(我)’의 의미는 두 가지로 해석된다.

개인적인 ‘나’: 석가모니 자신이 가장 존귀하다는 의미로 해석될 수 있다.

공적인 ‘나’: 우주 만물의 진화, 모든 생명의 존귀함을 의미한다. 즉, 모든 만물은 소중하며, 소중하지 않은 것은 없다는 뜻이다.

후대 제자들이 석가모니를 지나치게 미화하여, 태어나자마자 일곱 발자국을 걷고 어려운 말을 했다는 식으로 이야기를 만들어낸 것이다.

  1. 삼계(三界)와 인간의 진화
    삼계(三界)는 욕계, 색계, 무색계를 말하며, 이 삼계는 모두 고통 가운데 있다. 무색계만이 번뇌가 끊어지는 곳이다.

인간은 지옥, 아귀, 축생, 수라, 인간, 천상, 성문, 연각, 보살, 부처의 10단계 중 중간 지점인 인간으로 시작한다. 과학자들이 주장하는 아메바에서 진화했다는 설은 거짓이다. 인간은 처음부터 인간으로 시작하여 위로 올라가거나 아래로 내려갈 수 있다.

성인(예수, 석가, 공자 등)은 진인(미륵, 메시아) 아래 단계에 있으며, 성인 단계까지는 에너지가 없다.

  1. 일체유심조(一切唯心造)의 진정한 의미
    일체유심조는 “모든 것이 오직 마음이 지어낸다”는 뜻으로, 이 또한 앞뒤가 잘린 구절이다. 원래는 “약인 용역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조(若人欲了知 三世一切佛 應觀法界性 一切唯心造)”이다.

이는 “만약 사람이 삼세의 모든 부처를 알고 싶으면, 법계의 모든 성품이 모두 마음에서 만들어졌음을 보아야 한다”는 뜻이다. 즉, 과거, 현재, 미래의 모든 만물과 부처, 심지어 법계를 만드는 성품까지도 모두 마음에서 만들어진 것이다.

  1. 마음의 단계와 컨트롤
    마음은 가장 낮은 단계이며, 목숨, 기, 몸, 정력, 촉감, 호흡, 감촉, 성품 등 9가지 요소가 목숨 주변에 배치되어 있다. 마음은 성품의 말단 사원과 같으며, 말을 잘 듣는 단계이다.

마음을 잘 컨트롤하기 위해서는 다음 세 가지가 필요하다.

지감(止感): 감정을 잘 컨트롤해야 한다.

조식(調息): 숨을 잘 쉬어야 한다.

금촉(禁觸): 촉감을 금지해야 한다.

  1. 불고불락(不苦不樂)과 새옹지마
    불고불락은 고통도 즐거움도 사실은 없는 것이라는 의미이다. 새옹지마 이야기처럼, 고통스러웠던 일이 즐거움의 원천이 되고, 즐거웠던 일이 고통으로 변하기도 한다. 인생은 고통과 즐거움이 계속 반복되므로, 어느 한쪽에 치우쳐서는 안 된다.

  2. 지나친 욕심과 자식 교육
    즐거울 때는 남에게 베풀어야 한다. 자식에게 지나치게 잘해주는 것은 오히려 해가 될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 수능 시험을 잘 본 아들에게 구운 고기를 잔뜩 먹이면 20년 후에 대장암에 걸릴 수 있다.

자식이 귀할수록 남의 자식을 돕고 어려운 사람을 도와야 한다. 이는 쓰리쿠션과 같아서, 남을 도우면 결국 내 자식이 잘 된다. 반대로 내 자식에게만 전력하면 자식에게 배신당하고 망할 수 있다. 좋은 옷은 바자회에 내놓고, 자식에게는 허름한 옷을 입혀야 한다.

  1. 폭행과 범죄에 대한 관점
    사람을 때리는 행위는 살인보다 더 중하게 다루어야 한다. 폭행은 용서할 수 없는 행위이다. 인간의 생명은 존귀하며, 이는 사람뿐만 아니라 모든 유정물과 무정물에 해당된다. 폭행을 자주 하는 범죄자는 한반도에 발붙이지 못하게 몽골로 보내야 한다. 한반도는 평화주의자, 행실이 바른 사람들만 모여 살게 될 것이다.

  2. 인간의 기원: 해불양수(海不讓水)
    해불양수는 바다가 어떤 물도 사양하지 않고 받아들인다는 뜻이다. 인간은 바다와 같이 모든 것을 받아들이는 존재이다.

인간은 5억 개의 정자 중 하나가 난자를 만나 태어난다. 이는 4억 9천 999개의 정자가 죽는 공정한 경쟁을 통해 이루어진다. 즉, 인간은 물속에서 어머니를 만나 사람으로 태어나는 것이다.

  1. 어머니의 자궁과 출산의 고통
    인간은 어머니의 자궁이라는 뜨겁고 어두운 물속에서 280일을 기다린다. 이 기간 동안 5억 명의 경쟁자를 제치고 살아남는다. 출산은 어머니와 아기 모두에게 목숨을 건 과정이다.

장애를 가지고 태어난 사람도 소중하며, 모든 인간은 99%의 업보가 비슷하다. 1%의 차이로 계급이 정해질 뿐이다.

어떤 아기는 어머니의 건강 상태가 좋지 않으면 발바닥부터 내밀어 나가지 않으려 하다가 어머니와 함께 죽기도 한다. 반면 업장이 없는 아기는 쉽게 태어난다. 빨리 태어나는 아기일수록 착한 아기이며, 오래 걸리는 아기는 업장이 있는 아기이다.

  1. 인간의 윤회와 백궁
    인간은 처음부터 인간으로 시작하여 윤회한다. 윤회의 마지막 종착지는 백궁이다. 백궁으로 가는 것이 바로 인간 졸업이다. 인간은 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 존재이다.

종교들은 이러한 윤회와 백궁에 대해 명확하게 설명하지 않고, 인간이 만든 계율을 따르도록 한다. 몽골이나 아프리카의 풍습처럼, 인간의 윤리나 도덕은 인간이 만든 것이며, 하늘의 뜻과는 다르다. 윤리라는 것은 인간을 일정한 감옥에 가두는 것과 같다.

  1. 깨달음과 용서
    도가 높고 지혜가 높으면 모든 것이 사라지고 용서된다. 깨달음을 얻으면 모든 것이 사라지는 것이다. 죽을 때가 되면 자신이 갈 곳이 훤히 보이는데, 악하게 사는 사람은 갈 곳이 보이지 않아 공포에 떤다. 반면 선하게 사는 사람은 평화롭게 죽음을 맞이한다.

인간의 오고 가는 것은 모두 예정되어 있다. 백궁에서 시작하여 백궁으로 돌아가는 것이다. 삼계(욕계, 색계, 무색계)를 돌지 않으려면 불교에서 말하는 사막(계정혜)을 해야 한다. 계율을 지키고 명상을 하며 지혜를 깨달으면 백궁으로 갈 수 있다.

감사드립니다. 여러분들은 아니라고, 그 말씀을 듣기 위해서 한 주간 이렇게 개방, 오늘만 기다렸던 것이 사실입니다. 이 지구상 그 어느 곳에서, 어느 곳에서 들어볼 수 없는 그런 고차원적인 말씀이십니다. 시원한 해법의 우승을 선사해 주실 우리 허경영 선생님께 인천 앞서 말씀을 드리겠습니다.

앉으세요. 우리 강 박사님이 그 아주 따님이 저번에 우리 그 하늘공 오분한테 노래를 아주 잘해주셨는데, 오늘 멘트 하는 게 그 딸이 하는 것보다 더 잘하네. 나는 강의할 때 그렇게 멘트해주는 사람이 없어서. 그냥 하는 게 좀 이상하죠. 틀리더라도 뭐, 저 정도 마주 잘 하시는 거지.

오늘은 정치적인 이야기도 있지만은, 우리의 근본 문제, 인간은 어디서 어디로 가느냐? 이 세상에, 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물이 뭐죠? 가장 큰 선물. 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 이걸 우리가 우리나라 말로 하면은 뭐죠? 현재 여러분이 지금 이 자리에 앉아 있다는 게 가장 큰 선물이야. 그래서 이 세상에, 근데 하늘에서 준 가장 큰 선물은 뭐죠? 허경영을 만나는 거예요. 그래서 나는 쓸데없는 걸 우리가 그렇게 음해하는 세력이 있어요.

내가 지난주에 적폐청산에 대해서 조금 지적을 했죠? 그건 안 하고 민생을 우선해야 된다. 국민들 생활이 우선이지. 무슨 맨날 그냥 잡아들이고 적폐청산하고 나쁜 사람만 자꾸 쳐다보면 우리 경제는 어디로 가버려요? 국회의원이라는 사람들이 맨날 잡아 놓고 잡혀가고 요거만 서로 싸우는 거야. 그러니까 노론 소론 싸우다가 2조 500년이 날아가 버렸어.

남인복이 노론 소론 하다가 당파 싸움 하다가 날아가 버렸어요. 근데 현대까지 와서도 지금 맨날 노론 자른 사람이야. 저거는 좌파의 우파야, 허경영은 뭐죠? 허경영, 뭐라고요? 아니, 내가 무슨 뭐라고 그랬어요? 허경영은 초이념, 아시죠? 초종교, 알죠? 허경영은 초국경. 이런 거를 다 해서 모든 국민을 중산주의, 모든 국민을 중산주의 중산층으로 일단 만든다. 중산층이 중산층이 다 되는 거예요.

그러니까 지금 말하면 서민은 있나 없나? 생활이 안정되는 중산층을 해놓고 난 다음에 부자들은 더 부자는 있지. 근데 더 가난한 사람은 없어. 어떤 아버지가 자기 딸 등록금을 요번에 내면 마지막이야. 그러니까 대학 졸업 듣는 꿈이야.

근데 다른 직장도 못 구해 가지고 등록금을 못해서 졸업을 못 하게 되니까 아버지가 매번 연장을 하다가 도저히 안 되겠으니까 도둑질을 했어, 안 했어요? 도둑질해서 등록금 만들어서 갖다 주고 감옥 갔어. 무슨 일인지 알죠? 그러니까 그런 아버지들이 있으면 되겠어, 안 되겠어요? 그거를 그 아버지 잘못으로만 돌리면 될까? 안 돼요. 아버지 잘못으로만 돌릴 수 없어. 알죠? 이 아버지가 도둑질은 했지만, 도둑질을 만드는 사람이 누구예요? 진짜 도둑은 딴 데 있죠.

그런데 이 아버지는 그 딸한테 상처를 안 주려고 한 거야. 최대한 하다가도 안 되니까 도둑질을 한 거야. 뭐, 공금에 손을 댔더니 그러겠죠. 편의점을 턴 사람도 있어요.

그러나 그런 도둑질을 하고 감옥에 갔지만은 이 아버지의 심정은, 아버지 심정은 선이 악이야? 선입니까, 악입니까? 한소율이 장종의 칡 우주왈, 한 나라의 이 한 나라의 한 나라의 황제가 한 나라의 소열이라는 황제, 소열이라는 이 황제가 죽을 때 유언을 남겼어요. 유언이 뭐냐? 한솔이 장종이라는 건 죽는 걸 말해요. 치고주왈, 치구조라는 건 유언을 남긴다 이 말이야. 모아놓고 자기 아들 딸.

앞에다 두고 뭐라고 했냐, 지금 물이 산소의 불리하고 그러니까 물이 산소에 불리하고 그러니까 선은 작다고 피하면 돼, 안 돼? 안 돼. 물이 악소이, 선은 작다고 아니하면 안 되고, 물이 악소이, 악은 작다고 해야 돼, 안 해야 돼? 그러니까 이 물은 악은 작아도 해서는 안 되는데, 선은 해도 안 되고, 선은 작다고 안 해서는 안 되고. 그러니까 이거는 위치하라. 악은 작아도 선은 악은 작아도 해서는 작아도 해라.

이거를 이야기했는데, 그 아버지가 악을 행했죠. 악을 행했는데 선을 행한 건 아니잖아요. 그럴 때 업이 어떻게 될까? 어떻게 될 것 같아요? 어떻게 보면 봐줘야 될 것 같고, 어떻게 보면 어떻게 될까요? 그 범위는 누구냐? 국회의원들이야. 그 사람도 범인이지만, 그 위에 죽음이고 알겠습니까? 그래서 대통령은 1년에 한 번씩 민생사법, 도둑질한 사람들을 싹 풀어주는 거야. 왜 도둑질을 하게 된 원인을 파고 들어가 보면 정부 정치인 잘못한 탓이야.

빚을 얻어서 한 거야. 빚을 얻어서 사업을 하다 보니, 창업을 하다 보니까 이상한 죄를 짓게 되는, 도둑질을 하게 되는 거야. 이 빚더미 때문에 죄를 짓는 사람이 많아요. 이 빚더미에 누가 있어요? 정치인이 그 위에 있는 거야.

빚더미 만든 자가. 그래서 전부. 그래서 하늘에서 준 최고의 선물은 허경영 만나는 거죠. 그런데 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 뭐예요? 프레젠트.

프레젠트가 영어로 현재도 되고 선물도 되고. 그럼 미국 사람들이 영어를 만들 때 최고의 선물이 뭔지는 알아. 프레젠트가 내가 여자한테 선물 하나 주는 것도 있지만, 그 프레젠트가 영어로는 현재라는 뜻이야. 그러니까 아무리 선물 주는 것보다 내가 현재 이렇게 숨 쉴 수 있고 여러분을 볼 수 있는 것이 가장 큰 복이야, 알겠어요? 그런데 이 세상에서 가장 큰 선물은 현재 내가 살아 있는 거.

그러니까 우리 얼굴이 이렇게 있으면, 우리가 얼굴을 만들 때 하늘에서 여러분들은 얼굴을 어떻게 만드는지 모를 거예요. 그러나 나는 얼굴을 만든 사람이니까 여러분한테 알려주는 거야. 이게 눈썹이죠. 이거는 비가 안 내려오게 하는 거죠.

그렇죠? 여러분이 샴푸하고 머리 감을 때 귀로 물 안 들어가게 하나로 귓바퀴를 이렇게 돌려 놓은 거야. 여기서 물을 뿌릴 때 이거 귓구멍으로 들어가면 안 되잖아. 그러니까 여러분이 머리 감을 것도 다 알고 있는 거예요. 우리가 일일이 하늘에서 감겨줄 수 없잖아.

그럼 귀 감을 때마다 욕을 할 거 아니야. 이게 귀가 만약 귓바퀴가 없으면 구멍만 뚫어 놔 봐. 여기에 3cm가 안으로 들어가 있거든. 3cm가 이 머리 두께를 3cm 속으로 귀가 들어가니까 그 물이 들어가 버려 봐.

왜죠? 안 되니까. 그래서 이 눈은, 눈은 뭘 보는 거예요? 눈은 바로 이 현재, 현재를 보라고 있는 눈이야. 눈은 현재를 보게 하고 코는 뭘 봐요? 그럼 입은 뭘 볼까? 입은 미래를 보라고 있는 거예요. 요렇게 우리가 만들었어.

그러면 현재는 여러분이 잘 보는 거 같죠? 여러분이 재산을 보고 잘 보는 것 같이 택도 없어요. 사람을 여러분은 잘 못 봐. 그럴 때 누가 도와주냐면 코가 도와줘. 코가 그 사람한테서 막 이상한 독한 냄새나면 술을 먹은 거야.

그래야 간을 버린 사람이야. 옆에 가니까 막 그 간이 상한 냄새가 나. 그런 그 사람은 이미 간이 많이 망한 거 아니야. 그러면 코가 알려져, 안 알려져? 눈으로 봤을 때는 점잖은 사람인데 가까이 가서 냄새를 맡아 보니까 병자야.

그러면 코가 알려지죠. 그러면 이번 미래를 그러니까 알려주니까 코는 현재와 미래를 연결해 주는 거야, 그러니까 아, 보니까 내가 혼자 사니까 음식을 잘 남겨 놓아, 안 남겨 놓아요? 어떤 거는 일주일 동안 먹는 것도 있어. 근데 냉장고에 넣어 놨어요.

몰라요. 눈으로 봐서는 깨끗해 보여. 우유도 깨끗해 보여요. 그래서 요걸 버리지 않냐, 아깝고 먹을까 말까 이렇게 하겠어.

그럴 때 누가 도와줘요? 코가 안 도와주면 미래가 있어, 없어? 그걸 먹어버리면 죽는다고 생각해 봐. 그러면 코가 현재와 미래를 도와주는 역할을 해야 해. 그 눈으로 아무리 우유를 자세히 쳐다보세요. 우유가 세균이 보이나, 안 보여요.

근데 여러분을 살리기 위해서 중간에 현재와 미래를, 미래가 있어야 뭐 입으로 말을 할 거 아니야, 요거는 미래를 말하는 거야. 살아나야 뭐 떠드는 거야. 언제나 미래고, 요건 언제나 현재야. 고 사이에 코가 없으면 미래가 보장돼, 안 돼? 그냥 음식 상한 걸 눈으로 보니까 먹었는데 식중독으로 죽어버려.

그럴 수 있겠죠. 그러니까 눈과 입은 반대야. 이거는 현재 상태를 보는 거야. 그래서 어린애가 도둑질을 하고 오면은 아버지다 보면 엄마를 안 쳐다보려고 그래.

왜 눈에서 들켜. 현재 내가 도둑질한 게 들켜요. 그래서 이번 현재하고는 관계가 없어. 눈은 여러분 눈을 딱 보면 오래 기다리게 그렇게 보이네.

나 보여, 보여? 보이죠. 야, 이거 우리가 너무 지루하다. 그런데 지루하다가 보면 또 반가운데 오늘은 수능이 끝나고 첫 번째 토요일이야. 그러니까 가족들이 다 쏟아져 나와.

돈화문에서 여기까지 오는데 1시간 딱 걸렸어. 저 도나 현대 사옥에서 여기까지 오는데 1시간이야. 종로 3가로 차가 안 나가는 거야. 나갑니까? 누가 왔으면 차를 줘버리면 내가 오면 되는데.

강의하러 온다고 핸드폰 안 가지고 왔어. 그래 가지고 나는 그냥 거기서부터 1시간 동안 앉아 있어. 그다음 저기서 광화문에서도 1시간. 그러니까 일찍 온 사람이 도로에 앉아서 있는 거야.

근데 가족들은 즐겁게 그 아들 데리고 딸 데리고 차에 밥 먹으러 가는 거고 놀러 가는 거야. 종로 받아서 뭐 반지를 하나 사주고 하니 이리로 다 물려오는 금은방이 많거든. 고생했다고 종로 바닥 뿐이 아니라 서울 시내 다 쏟아져 나오는 거야.

대단해요. 그래서 내가 속으로 아, 이거 전철 타고 그런 생각을 해봤어. 그래서 전철 타는 사람이 제일 부럽더라고. 시간 약속하면 100%야.

그렇죠. 근데 나는 짐이 많아. 여러 가지 짐이 있어 가지고 그리고 오는데 하여튼 여러분들 죄송하긴 한데 그래도 내 한번 보는 게 뭐라 그랬어요? 최고의 최고의 선물이야. 그러니 기다릴 수밖에요.

다음에는 좀 더 이런 시간을 미리 내다보고 좀 일찍 와야 되겠어. 그래서 이번 미래 코는 현재와 미래 이걸 봐주는 뭐예요? 과거와 미래 또 기가. 그래서 여기서 길을 잘못 들어 버리면 미래가 어떻게 돼요? 많은 거야. 근데 들리는 거는 꼭 과거 이야기가 들려와.

그 사람 나쁜 사람이라고. 그 사람이 뭐 사기꾼이 이렇게 들려요. 그래서 판단을 잘못해 버리면 미래가 어떻게 돼? 그 사람을 멀리 해버리면 진짜 예수를 사람들이 막 이렇게 좋다 할 때 예수를 믿는 사람들 그 처음에 유대에서 이스라엘에서 얼마나 박해를 받아.

귀에 걸려 들려오는 거는 저놈이 사기꾼이야 막 이래서 안 그랬어요. 지금도 유대인들이 예수 보고 사기꾼이라 그러죠. 그래 지금도 지금도 그래. 그 사람들은 메시아가 21세기 이제 요즘 동방에서 온다 그러고 있어요.

우리 한반도에서. 온다는 거야. 그래서 그들은 모세에서 아담에서 모세, 그러니까 아담에서 모세, 그러니까 유대인들은 노아, 그러면 노아가 아담의 10대 손 그 다음에 아브라함, 아브라함이 20대 손, 모세가 30대, 우시야가 40대, 그 다음에 누굽니까? 50대, 예수가 60대예요. 이거 몇 년 걸렸죠? 몇 년 걸렸죠? 4000년 걸렸어요.

예수 이후에 2000년이 걸렸죠. 이스라엘, 예수가 있었던 그 이후에 2000년 후까지 이 사람들은 2000년 후에 온다는 거야. 유대인들은 그 당시 예수가 있을 때 2000년 후에 동방에서 온다는 거예요. 그러니까 아담에서부터 20대, 20대, 30대, 40대, 50대, 60대, 1대, 60대까지 온.

여기 온 거는 예수가 아니고 여기는 올 때 누가 왔어요? 예수 앞에 온 사람, 이 사람들이 요한 앞에 누구를 믿었어요? 모세, 모세를 인정하는 거야. 모세를 인정하고 야훼를 믿으면서 모세를 인정하고 예수를 인정하네. 지금도 안 해요. 지금 2000년 후 동방 땅에서 온다는 거야.

알겠습니까? 그 점을 여러분들도 참고를 해야 돼요. 이 사람이 하늘에서 준 최고의 선물, 하늘에서 온 선물이야. 죽는다고 볼 수도 있지. 하늘에서 온 최고의 가장 큰 선물은 허경영 만나는 것이에요.

그래서 여러분들 눈으로 확인 못하는 게 많이 있죠. 음식 상한 거 냄새 안 맡으면 모르죠. 근데 고구마를 삶아 놓고 한참 먹어보는데 고구마는 날것을 잘 먹는데 삶은 걸 배치를 갔는데 상했는데 냄새를 안 맡으면 몰라. 고구마 상했는지 안 상했는지 그걸 먹으려고 하는데 코에서 먹지 말래.

그러니까 눈으로 해결이 돼, 안 돼? 그럴 때는 코가 알려져. 그래서 눈과 입 사이에 과학, 현재와 미래 사이에 코가 다리를 놔 주는 거야. 그래서 하늘에서 온 이 우리 현재, 현재 여러분이 내 강의를 듣고 오늘 얼굴 한번 보면 강의 끝이야. 강의가 유튜브 보는 사람들이 내 강의를 쭉 보는, 오래 본 사람들이 내 강의가 옛날에 좀 어려웠는데 좀 부드럽게 이제 풀어서 해줘요. 그저께 뭐 저기서 누가 나한테 질문을 했어, 뭐였죠? 그걸 내가 해명해 줬더니 누가 나한테 전화가 왔어. “그게 왜 총재님 해석을 그렇게 잘 나가게 해줍니까?” 아니, 내가 강의하던 내용이 있는데 그걸 길게 할 수가 없잖아.

그래서 내가 거기에 대한 보충 설명을 해줄 거야. 참고를 하세요. 내가 시간이 없어서 그렇게 해줬지, 뭐. 그렇게 천상천하 유아독존을 해석을 내가 못 해서 그래 하는 게 아니에요.

참고로 알고 계세요. 천상천하 이거는 여러분들이 이거는 불교에 팔상도라고 있어요. 팔상도, 이 팔상도에 나와요. 그러니까 이거는 하나의 전설이야.

석가모니 입에서 나온 말이 아니고. 우리가 예수가 태어날 때 마구간에서 났다, 뭐 여러 가지 이야기를 하잖아. 또 석가모니가 날 때 일곱, 태어나자마자 일곱 발자국을 걸어서 이 말을 했다고. 그러면 여러분이 믿어요? 갓 태어난 내가 일곱 발자국을 걸어요? 그러니까 이 팔상도를 밑에 사람들이 써 놓은 거야.

우리가 단군이 뭐 어떻게 어떻다, 뭐 이런 걸 신화를 많이 만들잖아. 그래서 옛날 종교를 전부 신화적인 이야기가 많아요. 그러니까 그걸 방편설이라고 그래. 석가모니를 높이기 위해서 노폐견에서 했는데, 이걸 또 두 가지는 해석해.

이 독점 뒤에 사람들이 뭘 또 갖다 붙여. 그럼 뭘 붙였죠? 뭐를 붙였죠? 이 뒤에 일체개고라고 있어요. 일체, 일체개고가 그러니까 일체계고가 있는데, 이 일체가 모든 여기는 이제 여기에는 원래는 3세계고라고 돼 있어. 3세계고.

근데 3세계고란 말도 지어낸 거고, 일체개고라는 말은 대장경에 석가모니가 한 말이야. 그런 말이 있어요. 일체가 다 고통 속에 있다. 일체가 고통스러기 있으니 내가 그걸 구하겠다.

그러니 자기가 이걸 구하겠다. 이런 말이야. 그러니까 이거를, 이거는 허경영이가 이걸 빼먹었다는 거야. 이거는 아중 사람들이 쓴 거야.

지어낸 거야. 일체개고, 내가 모든 걸 구해내겠다. 이 뒤에 붙은 거는 실제 팔상도에는 안 나오는 거야. 여기에 나오는 게 아니에요.

그리고 여기에 뭐가 나오냐면 5당안지라고 있는데, 이 오자로 쓰는 사람들도 있고 아당 안지라고 하는 사람도 있어요. 아당. 그래서 이거에 왜 여기가 5가 맞냐면 여기 아도들을. 그래서 이거는 쓰질 않는 거예요.

이거는. 무슨 말이냐면, 이거는 우리의 진화, 인간들의 대자연, 모든 만물, 돌멩이나 나무나 풀이나 인간이나 모든 사람의 진화. 그 자연 전체 진화. 이거에 대해서 이야기하는 게 아야.

그러니까 천상천하에 이 모든 생명은 가장 존귀하다. 이렇게 돼 있는 건데, 여기를 갖다가 천상천하의 세상이 너무 고통 속에 있으므로, 아, 내가 세상을 편안하게 하리라. 요렇게 붙여 가지고 석가모니가 갓 태어난 애가 태어나자마자 일곱 발자를 걸어 가지고 이 말을 했다고 이렇게 나오는 거예요. 그래서 이건 누가 붙였어? 팔상도에다가 이걸 또 제자들이 붙여 놓은 거야.

그래서 지난번에 이걸 안 했거든. 이걸 원래 안 하는 거예요. 안 했더니 왜 3세개고, 아담 안지를 안 했냐. 이렇게 이야기하는 거야.

알겠습니까? 그때 내가 시간이 있어서 없었어요. 없어요. 그냥 내가 요거만 천상천하 유아독존마 딱 써가지고 해석을 창했잖아, 그게 가장 바람직한 거예요. 그러니까 삼세가, 삼세라는 건 일체를 말해요.

이 세상 모든 일체, 일체나 삼세나. 삼세가 뭐죠? 삼세를 뭘 삼세라 그래요? 3세. 여기서 말하는 3세는 과거, 현재, 미래가 아닙니다. 3세.

여기서 삼세라는 건 우리가 말하는 욕계, 이 물질 밑에 우리 색계, 이거 무색계. 그래서 여기를, 여기를 삼세령 안 하고 쓰다 보니까 실수를 했네. 삼계, 3개. 이걸 말해요.

무색계, 욕계, 색계를 삼계라 그래. 이 삼계, 삼계가 고통 가운데 있다. 이 색계는 육도인데, 이 욕계의 18천도 전부 여러분 간에마다 번뇌가 다 있어. 여기도 욕심이 있고, 번뇌가.

여기도 욕심이 있어서 번뇌가 있는 거죠. 요 무색계만 번뇌가 끊어지는 곳이야. 그 위에 무색계 위에 뭐가 있다고요? 인간들이 말할 때 꼭 진인이 나타난다 진인이 나타난다고 그러는데, 진입 밑에 성인이 이렇게 있는데, 성인들이 예수, 석가, 공자 뭐 이렇게 있어요. 그런데 진인은 미륵이다, 메시아가 온다 뭐 이 사람들이 이러잖아.

그러나 이 진인이 직접 와 있는 이 허경영이가 와 있는 거는 사람들이 상상을 못하는 거야. 이 밑에 쫙 10개 있죠, 이렇게 쭉 있는데. 이 성인 단계, 성인 밑에가 뭡니까? 성인 밑에 도인이죠. 도인 밑에가 뭐예요? 철인은 조금 그래도 나은 거야.

철이 밑에 현인, 밑에 소인, 그 다음 뭐가 있죠? 범인, 속인이죠. 그러면 이 10단계의 여기 있는 사람만 사람과 진인이나 성인들이 이게 단 줄 알아. 성인이 다가 아닙니다. 여기는 에너지가 있어? 여기까지는, 여기까지는 에너지가 없습니다.

그리고 지난주에 내가 편지를 미국에서 허경영, 일본에서 허경영 부르니까 허경영만 왜 손이 안 떨어집니까? 좋더라고요. 그래서 잘 됐다고, 이렇게 좋다고 이야기하죠. 그 사람들이 해봤겠죠. 그거는 누가 해도 마찬가지야.

그 대신 마음속으로 할 때, “허경영” 한 다음에 딴 생각을 해버리면 떨어질 수가 있어. “허경영”한테 갑자기 “빨리 안 돼” 이러면 떨어져요. 마음이 들어가 버리니까. “허경영” 해놓고 딴 생각을 해버리면 됩니까? 안 됩니다.

안 돼요. 빨리 돼야 되는 거야. “허경영” 했는데, 아, 지금 내가 가야 될 시간이 다 됐네. 이래 버리면 되나, 안 되나? 머릿속에 뭐가 들어갔다 하면 떨어져.

근데 왜 “허경영”대 떨어지냐는 거야. “허경영” 하자마자 알겠죠. 그래서 제일 오늘 중요한 것은, 인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가느냐? 이게 모든 종교가 이야기하는데 넌센스야. 모든 종교가 이야기한 것이 여러분들이 알아들을 수 없는 세계, 그리고 전부 종교마다 다 달라.

그리고 “허경영”은 초종교, 초이념, 초국경 이런 시대가 지금 와 있어요, 오고 있는데 여러분들 아직도 종교를 졸업을 못한 거야. 초종교. 그러니까 여러분들은 아직도 중고등학교, 대학에 다니고 있는 거지. 이제 대학을 졸업했으면 뭔가 인생에서 가장 큰 투자는 뭐야? 인생에서 가장 큰 투자, 제일 인생에서 수많은 투자를 하는데 제일 큰 투자가 뭐예요? 다음 죽음 이후에 사후세계에 투자하는 거야.

사후세계가 불확실한데 아무리 모래 위에다 성을 쌓아봐요. 아니, 이 빌딩을 100개를 가지고 있어도 불과 2, 30년이면 그 사람은 늙어서 가버려. 가는데 이 빌딩을 팔아 가지고 그 사람이 잘 먹을까요? 잘만 먹었다면 위에서 가만히 있어요? 당뇨병을 줘버려. 잘 먹어 버리면 고혈압을 줘버려.

그럼 왜 당뇨병을 주냐? 남은 굶어 죽고 있는데 자기 혼자 뭐. 건물이 있다고 잘 먹어 이렇게 나오네. 하늘은 그렇게 돼 안 돼요. 그러니까 고혈압, 당뇨병이 뭐냐면 이 머리를 그냥 이렇게 감으면 샴푸로 감으면 포슬포슬해.

우리 피가 이렇게 동글동글하게, 납작하게 동글동글해 가지고 이게 막 혈관으로 잘 다녀. 그런데 잘 먹게 되면, 남은 굶는데 자기 혼자 잘 먹으면 굶은 사람 피는 동글동글하게 잘 다녀요. 병이 안 걸려. 그런데 이거 잘 먹은 사람 피는 어때요? 진하게 해서 진한데, 문제는 피가 샴푸로 머리를 감은 게 아니고 꿀로 가지고 머리를 감은 거 같아.

꿀로. 당분이 많은 거야. 그러니까 혈구가 적혈구가 엉켜, 안 엉켜? 엉켜 가지고 막 10개씩 20개씩 붙어 가지고 안 떨어지네. 그러면 머리 혈관을 지나가나? 그러니까 중풍이 오는 거야.

그러니까 천벌을 받는 거예요. 그런데 그 사람은 맨날 맛있는 거 먹는데, 맨날 고기만 먹네. 그러면 머리 내 속에 있는 피가 뭐의 모욕을 한다고? 머리카락을 뭘로 감는 거 같다고? 꿀로 감는 거 같아. 끈적끈적해 가지고 머리카락이 떨어집니까? 그렇게 머리 감는 사람이 있나? 여기에 자기가 빌딩 10개라도 보리밥에다가 야채에다가 검소하게 먹어야 돼요.

그러면 그래서 가난한 머슴 집에는 애가 줄줄이 나오는 거야. 부자집에는 피가 얽혀 가지고, 피가 얽혀 가지고 당뇨병, 고혈압. 나중에는 섹스도 못하고 그냥 이상한 사람이 돼 버려. 망하는 거예요.

알겠습니까? 그러니까 부자는 자손이 없는 거야. 나중에. 그럼 망해버려. 뭐 때문에 그렇다고? 피의 영향이 너무 많아 가지고 영양 과다로.

그러니까 도둑질을 해 가지고 뭐 재산이 많으면 많이 먹고 잘 살면 하늘에서 그냥 놔두나? 아닙니다. 저 굶는 사람들이 원한이 있어. 그 굶는 사람들 원하지만. 그러니까 그 부자는 자연히 위해서 그 벌을 줘야 안 줘요.

그러니까 잘 먹는 식당에 가서 고기를 막 잘 먹는 사람을 보면 저 사람이 머리카락을 꿇고 감는구나. 이 맑은 피가 맑아야 되는데, 엄마 젖만 먹는 애 피가 얼마나 맑아요. 근데 걔한테 지방이 있는 우유를 딱 먹이기 시작하면서부터 애 몸이 달라지는 거야. 무슨지 그러니까 순수한 젖을 먹을 때는 애가 병이 없다가 갑자기 우유를 먹이니까 엄마가 바빠서 직장 간다고, 그때부터 애가 막 아토피가 생기고 난리가 나는 거야.

그래서 우리가 만든 식품은 완전한 게 아니야. 그래서 엄마 젖을 물릴 때 그 애가 건강한 거야. 그래서 피가 건강하게 돼. 그래서 우리는 지나친 욕심이 결국은 이 삼계가 다 고통 가운데 있는데, 그 고통을 내가 없애겠다 이 말인데.

요거는 석가모니에다가 아첨을 떠는 거야. 이걸 석가모니가 이런 말을 했다. 천상재는 유아독존으로 하더라도, 이거를 불교 해석하는 사람들은 뭐라고 해석하냐. 이거를 석가모니가 아니고 이 아라는 건 우주 모든 만물의 뭐라고요? 진하다.

만물의 본성을 말하는 것이다. 그 모든 만물은 시멘트도 소중하고, 돌멩이도 소중하고, 흙도 소중히 안 해. 소중하지 않은 것이 없더라. 우리가 흔히 없으면 모든 거 하나하나, 사람 하나하나 말할 것도 없고, 머리카락에서부터 모든 혈액 하나까지 소중하지 않은 게 있다 없다? 없다.

이 소리로 해석을 해야 돼. 천상천하에 유아, 이 아라는 것은 여기서 아라는 것은 뭐와 같냐면 불교에서, 이거는 불교는 여러분이 알지만 사와 공의 싸움이야. 공, 사와 공의 싸움이야. 사와 공의 싸움인데, 공적인 거와 사적인 게 있어 없어요? 사와 공의.

싸움이니까 이 사적인 것이 앞서면은 공적인 것이 어떻게 돼? 그러니까 이거는 여기에 아는 공적인 아이야. 그러니까 여기는 우주 전체 모든 생명의 나고, 여기는 사는 내 개인의 나야. 그것에서 오는 요거는 오는 여기에 해당돼요. 이거는 나오자야. 요것도 나았잔데, 아는 어디에다 하냐? 이거는 나았지.

이거는 세상 만물 전체를 말하는 거야. 여기 보면 내가 마땅히 이 세상을 편안하게 하리라. 요 5단 안지, 요걸 또 아당한지라고 이야기해. 그 사람들도 무식한 사람들이야.

불교 대장경에 보면 아당한지라고 쓴 사람도 있고, 오당한지라고 쓰는 사람들은 나의 사적인 개념, 나 자는 공적인 개념. 그래서 요거는 나의 본성, 이거는 나의 정신. 한마디만 해서 나의 정신, 이거는 나의 정신 영적인 겁니다. 요거는 뭐야? 나의 육체, 육체적인 나를 말하는 거예요.

육체적인. 나의 껍데기, 나오자는 나의 껍데기. 나의 그러니까 석가모니가 이런 말을 했어요. 석가모니 한 말 중에 일체유심조 있죠? 일체유심조를 누가 질문하면 내가 그냥 일체유심조회가 이렇게 해석을 하면 해석이 될까, 안 될까? 이것도 앞뒤가 짤린 거야. 말하자면 이거는 실제적으로 앞에가 잘려 있어요.

뭐가 잘렸죠? 이렇게 돼 있어요. 이게 이 다섯 자가 아니라 이게 20자가 모여 있는 거야. 그러니까 약인 영역이 삼세일체불, 음관 법계성, 일체유심조. 그리고 앞에 이만큼을 생략한 거야.

이만큼이 생략되어 있는 거예요. 그러니까 만약에 사람이 이 사람이 약인 용역이 사람이 근본 뿌리를 알고 싶으면 삼세 일체불, 세상에 모든 이 삼세 일체. 아까 말한 여기 일체 나오죠? 일체. 여기는 삼계가 나오는데, 삼계도 일체고 삼세도 일체야.

삼세 일체 모든 부처들도 은간. 법계성, 그 법계의 모든 성품은, 이 눈에 보이는 모든 한마디만, 눈에 보이는 모든 것은 모두 마음에서 만들어졌다. 그러니까 삼세나 현재, 미래의 과거나 일체 만물이나 부처나 모든 것이, 모든 것을 알고 보면 뭘로 만들어졌어요? 마음에서, 일체유심조에서 만들어야 된다. 심지어 법계를 만드는 그 성품까지도 모두 다, 이 우주는 마음에서 만들어졌다.

그러니까 내가 마음을 뭐라 그랬어요? 여기 마음이 있으면, 마음의 마음의 어머니가 뭐라고요? 성품이라 그랬죠. 성품의 어머니는 뭐예요? 느낄 감싸죠. 그 다음에 어머니는 뭐라고요? 목숨이죠. 목숨.

목숨이 있어야 기가 있잖아. 그러니까 기는 기의 어머니는 거지. 그러니까 숨을 쓰면은 목숨이 있는 거야. 그 다음에 여기는 또 뭐가 있어요? 정자는 어디서 나와요? 촉감을 가져야 여자를 끌어안아야 정자가 나와.

자, 그러면은 정자는 뭘 해요? 몸을 만들죠. 그러면 이게 목숨 주변에 요렇게 9가지가 딱 배치가 돼 있어요. 여기에 마음이라는 것이 가장 낮은 단계, 내 스타트야, 시작이야. 목숨을 구해주는 마음이나, 기나, 몸이나, 정력이나, 촉감이나, 호흡이나, 감촉이나, 성품이나, 이거 쫙 아홉 개가 하나, 둘, 셋, 8개가요, 아홉 명까지, 아홉인데.

그래서 이 마음은 일체유심조라는 마음은 성품의 제 말단 사원, 말 따져, 말단 사원이라고. 그러니까 말단 사원이 뭐예요? 약자입니까? 말단 사원이 뭐예요? 약자입니까? 뭘 주려는 거예요? 말 잘 듣는 단계의 사원이야. 말단 사원 때는 말을 일단 잘 듣는 단계를 거치는 거지.

말을 잘 들어야 돼. 갖다 붙이니까 말이 되죠. 그러니까 말단 사원이라고 보니까 내가 더 말단을 이야기하네. 이 말단이 마음이야.

근데 마음에는 성품이고, 성품에는 감이 있는데, 그러면요 감을 잘 컨트롤하면 마음이 잘 가겠죠. 그래서 요걸 우리는 지감, 숨을 잘 쉬어야 되겠죠. 조식. 요거는 뭐예요? 금촉, 촉감을 금지해야 되겠죠.

금촉인데. 그러니까 감정을 좀, 감을 항상 성질을 내면 안 돼. 감정을 항상 컨트롤해야 돼. 그러니까 불고 불낙이야. 그러니까 고통도 사실은 없는 것이고, 즐거움도 없는 것이에요.

그러니까 새옹지마를 봐요. 아니, 늙은 노인이 새옹지마를 보면, 새옹지마를 보면, 새옹지마 처음에 말이 한 마리 들어오니까 좋다고 했는데, 아들이 말 타다가 병신이 되니까 또 굉장히 괴로워하죠. 그러다가 또 나중에 아들이 전쟁 나서 다 죽어버리고 자기 아들만 군대 안 가 가지고 동네 여자 다 꽤 자고 애를 손자를 몇십 명을 하니까 그 아버지가 즐거워서 난리잖아. 그러니까 고통스러웠던 것이 즐거움의 원천이고, 즐거운 것이 또 그 당시 말이 안, 말이 왔다고 즐거웠는데 말이 도망을 가버렸어.

그러니까 또 고통스럽고, 또 아들이 병신이 되니까 또 고통스럽고. 그러니까 고통과 즐거움이 계속 반복되어 안 돼요. 그러니까 그걸 고통스럽다고 해야 돼? 저렇다 해야 돼? 그러니까 인생은 불고 불낙. 즐거울 때는 남한테 보시를 해야 되고, 돈이 잘 생기는 기쁜 일을 오늘 수능 시험 끝나고서 애들 데리고 와서 맛있는 거 사주는 것도 괜찮지만은, 데리고 가서 좋은 일도 해야 돼.

알겠습니까? 그래야 좋은 대학일까? 또 어디 가서 아들만 맛있는 거 사주고 다른 어려운 애들이 있는데, 애한테 너무 잘해주면 될까, 안 될까? 그 애한테 가르쳐 줘야 돼. 너를 진짜 위하는 건 너하고 내가 맛있는 거 폭식 해가지고 오늘 내 아들 수능 시험 잘 봤다 그래. 네 위로한다고 가서 불고기를 잔뜩 있는데. 구운 걸 막 먹여가지고 걔가 20년 후에 대장암에 걸려.

오늘 그 엄마가 아들에 대한 지나친 욕심이 10년, 20년 후에 애가 대장암으로 나타나는 거야. 막 구운 물고기를 “아들, 네가 많이 먹어라. 네가 많이” 그랬는데 그 애가 많이 먹었는데, 그게 나중에 대장암이 되는 거야. 그게 10년, 20년 있으면 암으로 나타나.

그러니까 그 자식을 그렇게 잘 먹여 버리면 그 자식이 그냥 탈락하는 거야. 그렇겠죠? 그러니까 이 눈, 현명해야 돼. 눈 현명해야 돼. 내 자식이 귀할수록 남의 자식을 도와야 돼.

남의 어려운 사람을 도와주면 내 자식이 잘 되는 거야. 꼭 이게 쓰리쿠션이야. 남의 자식을 도와주면 이게 내 자식이 잘 되는 거야. 근데 직접 내 자식을 돕는 데 전력하면 나중에 자식한테 배신당하고, 얘 망해.

자식도 망하고, 자기도 망해. 쓰리쿠션. 그냥 제 아들 입은 좋은 옷만 있으면 바자에다 갖다 내놔야 돼. 그리고 아들은 좀 허름한 거, 싼 걸 사 입혀야 돼.

좋은 거 있으면 마음 바꿔 가지고 아들한테 좋은 거 아버지가 사주면 그거 없는 사람한테 갖다 내놔 버려. 그 아들은 좀 허름한 거 사 입혀야 돼. 그래야 애가 납치를 안 당할 거 아니야. 그래서 강남에 청담동에 주차장을 관리하는 집 경비가 살았는데, 차고에서 살았어요.

집이 크니까. 근데 그 집 아들이 죽어서 안 죽었어요? 납치돼 가요. 그 집 아들한테 아빠가 좋은 옷을 사 입힌 거야. 이쁘니까.

그랬는데 부잣집에서 애가 들락거리니까 나쁜 놈들이 요렇게 보고 있었을 거 아니에요. 그렇게 애를 앞에서 죽였어. 돈을 보내래. 돈이 있나? 나중에 알고 보니까 이 아줌마, 부자가 왜 돈이 없어? 이러는 거야.

알고 보니까 그 집을 아는 거야. 경찰에서 조사를 했지. 했더니 납치범들이 그 집 주변에 있다가 개를 납치하는 거야. 근데 알고 보니까 그게 뭐예요? 운전수 아들이야. 운전석 아들이 죽은 거야.

왜? 아빠가 옷을 너무 좋은 걸 사 입혀서. 그러니까 하늘은, 제가 아무리 재산이 많아도 재산이 많을수록 좋은 일을 많이 해야 돼. 그래서 우리는 이 불로불사 이게 있다는 거예요. 그래서 천상 재난이 와도 독존에서 이런 걸 붙여 놓은 건 우리가 석가모니를 욕되게 하는 것이다, 알겠습니까? 석가모니 성자는 이런 걸 원할까, 안 원할까? 원하지는 않아. 제자들이 지나치게 미화하는 거야.

어떻게 태어난 지, 태어나자마자 일곱 발짝 그러면서 이 어려운 말을 했었고 그 사람이 허경영인가? 내 말을 이해 갑니까? 그래서 지나친 미화야. 그래서 내가 말을 할 때 이걸 빼요. 이거 뺐다고 난리야. 또 내가 몰라서 빼겠어요? 그래서 그 말을 해준 사람도 나쁜 사람이 아니야.

그렇게 질문할 수가 있어. 그래, 이번 기회에 나한테 들어서 알 수가 있는 거죠. 그래서 이것은 사적인 거. 이 세상은 개인과 전체의 싸움이에요. 개인주의로 나가는 사람은 다 망해.

전체, 전, 모든 사람의 행복을 생각해야 돼. 그래서 여기에서 아는 전체야. 여기에서 아는 뭐예요? 오는 뭐예요? 개인이야. 그러니까 이렇게 해서 가면 이런 나타난 거야.

아니, 천상 재난 내가 제일 높으니까 이것도 개인으로 해 놔 버린 거야. 그래서 이거를 그 사람들은 이걸 개인으로 보고, 요것도 아담 오당이라는 거 내가 부처라는 거고, 알겠습니까? 아당 안지라고 해 놨어요. 아당 안지. 그러면 어떻게 돼? 개인 석가모니가 스스로 세상을 편안하게 하겠다, 이 소리거든.

이렇게 되면 석가모니가 태어난 지 맞아, 엄마 뱃속에서 나오자마자. 걸어 가지고 세상을 내가 구하겠다, 그 허경영입니까? 그러니까 이거는 넌센스야. 그래서 이런 말을 굳이 붙이지 않아도, 그냥 이것만 가지고 석가모니가 우리의 모든 생명의, 우주의 모든 진화, 모든 사물의 진화에 소중하고 고귀함을 선언한 거다, 이렇게 해야 되는 거야. 그러면 국민들이, 인간들이 이해를 해 줘.

그러니까 석가모니의 인권 선언이다, 이거보다는 이 모든 생명체의 존귀함을 선언한 거다, 맞습니까? 그런데 그거를 석가모니 자신이 가장 존귀하고, 그 존귀한 자신이 세상을 다 구하고 있다, 그 점 이상하지 않아요? 이렇게 석가모니를 욕되게 하는 것을 호세 성녀들이 이렇게 만들어 놓은 거야. 이게 중국에 가서 이렇게 변화된 거예요. 이거는 오직 유자입니다. 오직 여기 있는 유자도 오직 유자야.

모든 일체, 일체 삼계나 일체나 같은 뜻입니다. 삼계나 일체, 이 우주 모든 삼라만상은 마음에서 만들어진 거다. 그래서 여러분들이 여러분 세포를 파고 들어가고요, 텔레비전을 분해해서요, 세포를, 이 원자를 파고 들어가면 나중에 뭐가 나와요? 쿼크가 나와. 그 쿼크를 또 파고 들어가면 그 작은 미립자, 소립자, 그 안에 뭐가 돼 있어요? 파동이 들어 있는 거야.

그래서 이거는 진동, 파동으로 뭉쳐 있어. 그냥 파동체야, 파동. 앞으로는 이렇게 안 나와. 그냥 요 공간에 나오죠.

근데 좀 더 있으면 TV가 여기 사람이 나오면 사람의 모양새로 나와. 입체로 나와. 입체로. 지금은 평면으로 나오잖아.

이렇게 보이잖아요. 근데 실제는 나중에는 이게 옆에서 가보면 집이야. 이쪽에서 보면 공간에 데리고 나오는 거지. 그러니까 저쪽에서 보아도 사람 뒤통수도 보이고 다 보이는 거지.

어떻습니까? 그런 입체 TV가 앞으로 허공에 나온다 이 말이야. 그럼 가서 애기들이 만져볼 수가 있어. 만지면 손에 영상만 뜨지, 실물이 있나? 우리 인생이 그래요. 여러분의 몸을 와이퍼가 있으니까 와이프를 이렇게 만지니까 그게 실물 같습니까? 실제는 환상을 보는 거야.

그 와이프 몸도 파동의 집합체야. 왜? 세포가 파동이잖아. 그러니까 파동이 모여 있는 거야. 그거를 상처를 주면 그게 안 없어져요.

파동의 상처를 입어 가지고 가슴이 아프고, 맞은 자리가 아프고 그렇게 해서 안 그러겠어? 상처 줘야 돼, 안 줘야 돼요? 파동이야. 그러니까 이쁜 마음을 계속 전하면 이쁜 파동이 유지가 됐는데, 아주 나쁜 파동을 주면 사과, 사과를 갖다 놓고 한번 툭 떨어뜨려 놔둬 봐요. 그래서 사과 보고 죄송하다고 그래 봐. 사과가 팍삭 썩어 들어가 한쪽이.

그러니까 사람을 때리면 그렇게 돼, 안 돼? 나는 대통령이 되면 살인범보다 사람 때린 사람을 중형을 때는 거야. 그 사람 때린 사람을 최고로 무섭게 다루어요. 폭행, 알겠습니까? 칼로 찔러서 죽인 거는 제가 적은데, 사람을 주먹으로 때린다거나 사람을 고의적으로 해야 하는 행위는 용서하겠어, 안 하겠어요? 그건 있을 수가 없어요. 이 이것 때문에 천상천하에 유아독존, 사람이 이렇게 중생명이 존귀하다.

이건 사람뿐이 아니야. 유정무정 다 해당이 돼요. 그래서 사람을 폭행을 그걸 자주 한 사람은 어디로 보낸다고요? 몽고로 보내서 다시는 돌아올 수가 없어. 돌아올 수 없어.

그러니까 여러분이 싫어하는 범죄자는 한반도에 있지를 않아. 여기는 정말 깨끗한 땅이야. 그래서 평화주의자, 행실이 어른 사람들만 모여 살게 할 거야. 그러니까 아예 그런 사람들도 아예 폭행을 안 해.

그럼 머릿속에서 폭력이라는 걸 아예 지워버려야 돼. 어디 인간은 어디서 왔어요? 어디서 왔습니까? 내가 그동안에 강의를 하면서 다 가르쳐 줬죠. 여러분, 눈과 눈 감으세요. 전부 눈과 데리러 나와요.

이리 와 보자. 내 쳐다보냐? 할아버지 한번 보자. 사랑해요. 야, 너 사랑해요.

한번 다시 해봐. 사랑해요. 여자 목소리가 가늘죠? 여자는 성대가 남자의 절반 정도 돼요. 성대를 길게 수술해 버리면 남자 목소리 나오고, 남자를 여자로 바꿀 땐 성대를 절반 줄이면 여자 목소리를 잡으세요.

자, 보자. 아이고, 그러니까 여러분들은 얘 볼 때 부럽죠? 얘는 어릴 때 나를 만난 거야. 내게 속일지도를 언제 되겠네. 너무나 보여요.

가운데 동성. 이제 노래는 좀 이따 부르고. 해불양수. 인간은 어디서 왔느냐? 해불양수는 뭐냐면 바다는 모든 것을 받아들여야 안 받아들여요? 바다는 사양하는 물을 사양하지 않는다.

어떤 물도 맞아져요. 그러니까 바다는 어떤 물도 받아주는데 그 조건이 있어. 남자들이 사정했을 때 5억 개의 정자가 있으면 건강한 사람이요. 이 5억의 정자가 살아있는 생명이야.

이 5개 정자가 난자는 한 개 이걸 만나기 위해서 달려가서 4억 9,999개가 죽어요. 맞아, 맞아 죽어버려. 그리고 그 중에 한 개가 난자를 만나. 만나요.

그러니까 여러분 한 사람이 태어나기 위해서 4억 9천 999명이 죽은 거야. 여러분들이 인간의 몸으로 온 거야. 근데 그 사람들이 공정한 경쟁을 했을까, 안 했을까? 공정한 경쟁을 한 거야. 똑같이 나간 거예요.

나가서 난자를 찾아갔는데 4억 99명은 못 찾는 거지. 그 중에 하나가 여러분 자신이야. 난자를 만난 거지. 그러니까 이게 뭐예요? 물속에서 그 안에 물이 있단 말이야, 알겠습니까? 물속에서 여러분이 어머니를 만나서, 이게 어머니 못 만나자마자 왜 만났냐? 사람이 되기 위해서.

이게 사람인지 알아요. 바다 해. 그러니까 여러분은 물속에서 280일을 있어야 돼, 안 있어야 돼? 280일을 어머니 자궁이라는 물속에서도 있어야 되는 거야. 이 물속에서.

그것도 그냥 물이 아니고 뜨거운 물이야. 36.5도야. 36.5도라는 건 뜨거운 물이고 깜깜하네. 아주 깜깜해 가지고 뭐 보여, 안 보여? 깜깜한 데서 어둡고 깜깜한 물속에서 280일을 여러분이 참고도 기다리는 거야.

그 5억 명을 제치고 산 넘어서 아니야. 그래 가지고 기다렸더니 이제 나가라네. 나갈 때가 됐는데 걱정이 태산 같아. 왜? 어머니가 어머니하고 내 둘이가 목숨을 걸어야 돼.

일단 세상을 나가려면. 그 어머니가 신발을 거꾸로 신어. 어머니가 신발을 보고 들어가. 옛날에 그랬어요.

절반은 죽었으니까. 신발을 보고 들어가서 애를 낳는데. 배 속이는 애는 불안해, 안 불안하겠죠? 그러니까 5억 명을 이겼는데, 이제는 자기 어머니를 죽이느냐, 제가 죽느냐, 둘 다 같이 죽느냐, 사느냐. 이런 기로에서 여러분이 태어나서 안 태어났어? 그러니까 여기 장애인이 있으면 소중해, 안 해? 절대 소중한 거야.

어떤 사람도 소중해요. 그런데 저 사람은 장애인이니까 업보가 많아. 저 사람은 출세했으니까 업보가 없어. 이러면 되나, 안 되나? 인간은 99%는 업보가 비슷해요.

그 1% 차이야, 알겠습니까? 1% 차이로 계급이 정해져 버려. 모든 사람이 사람이 다 좋아요. 그런데 1% 때문에 부모가 싸우는 거야. 인간들은 인정도 있고, 남이 오면 밥도 주려고 그러고, 심지어 다.

잘해요. 그러니까 우리는 그걸 갖다가 뭐 간음이다, 뭐다 샀는데 그게 아니에요. 간통이 아니고 아예 거기는 미풍양속이야. 그러니까 손님이 오면 다른 남자한테 자기 마누라를 같이 자게 해준다 이 말이야.

그런 미풍도 있어. 여러분들은 죄라는 게 하늘에서 볼 때는 죄가 아니야. 그래서 너무 그런데 집착하지 말아요.

그러나 이렇게 5억 개 중에서 하나로 태어났는데, 이제 열 달을 여기서 280일을 참았더니 이 뜨겁고 어두운 데서 꾹 참고 있었더니 나가야 될 날짜가 딱 돼서 졸탁 동시가 돼야 안 돼요? 출장 동시를 해야 되는데 나가려고 딱 보니까 아, 이게 뭐야. 우리 엄마가 건강 상태가 안 좋네. 그 뱃속에서 어린애가 걱정을 태산같이 해요. 그런데도 어떤 애는 그 엄마를 죽이려고 내가 있어.

그런 애는 거꾸로 발바닥부터 내밀고 안 나가려고 그래. 자궁적으로 발바닥을 들이밀면 나가, 안 나가? 못 나가는 거야. 그래서 뱃속에서 엄마하고 같이 죽어요. 무슨 이해가죠? 그런데 그 업장이 없는 애는 또 거기서 그 엄마를 돌아온 애는 예쁘게 나와.

그냥 한 5분 만에 싹 나와 버려. 근데 보통 10시간씩 괴롭히고 나온 애들이 있어요. 그래서 빨리 나오는 애일수록 착한 애야. 속세 이런 애가 업장이 좀 있는 애야.

그래서 이렇게 우리가 태어나는데, 인간이 어디서 오느냐? 내가 이야기한 것은 이 바다 해 자. 바다 해 자의 어미 모자가 들어 있고 어머니의 뱃속에서 사람이 물속에서 있다가 나온다. 이게 바다야. 그래서 모든 바다는 더러운 건 나쁜 걸 용서해 안에. 용서하고 소금으로 정화시키고 이렇게 해서 그게 바다가 어머니야.

그래서 어머니는 12폭 치마로 그 남자가 바람피우는 거, 이런 거 다 감싸주는 거야. 근데 요새는 감싸주지 않지. 요새는 감사주지 않아.

그러나 옛날에는 감싸줬어요. 그래서 세컨드 써도 처벌, 대여섯 명씩 데리고 있으면 양반이야. 첩이 하나도 없으면 가난한 양반이야.

근데 누가 저걸 제일 많이 가지고 있냐? 도덕의 최우두머리 임금이 처벌 수십 명 되고 있는 거야. 그렇습니까, 안 그렇습니까? 그런 문화 속에서 우리가 살았어요. 그래서 인간은 어디서 오긴 오는데, 내가 이야기하는 것은 여러분은 애당초 백궁에서, 백궁(百宮)에 가면 시스템이 모든 우주의 시스템이, 생명의 시스템이 다 통계가 다 돼 있어요. 그리고 여러분을 만드는 과정도 다 돼 있어.

최초로 여러분을, 여러분들은 이 허경영이라는, 허경영이 천신이 어디서 왔느냐? 이 우주가 무한대의 이전부터 있는 거기 때문에, 원래부터 있는 거기 때문에 언제 만들어졌냐 할 수 있나 없나? 없어요. 여러분이 상상할 수 없는 시작과 끝이 있어? 없는 천국의 일심무시일 일정 무종일이야. 시작도 없고 끝도 없는데 여러분은 꼭 시작과 끝이 있다는 거야. 그래 없이 천신은 존재하고 나는 거기서 와 있어.

그 다음에 또 여러분들은, 여러분들은 인간들은, 인간들은 사는 자체가, 사는 자체가 그러니까 지옥, 아기, 축생, 수라, 인간, 천상, 성문, 연가, 보살, 부처 이렇게 되어 있으면 여러분들이 처음에 시작할 때 지옥에서부터 시작했을까, 인간에서부터 시작했을까? 처음부터 인간에서 시작했어요. 지금 과학자들은 여러분이 아메바, 작은 미생물 아메바에서부터 시작했다 그래. 그게 전부 가짜입니다. 여러분이 내가 어릴 때 소시장을 갔어요.

소를 팔러 가. 그런 소를 사러도 가고 그러잖아. 어릴 때 따라가. 봐요.

가보면 살찐 손은 또 살짝 있는 사람이 사 가지고, 여러분들은 남들은 굶는데 혼자 잘 먹어서 살찌면 그게 그리 좋은 건가요? 그렇잖아요. 그건 도살장. 하늘에서 고혈압이나 당뇨병을 소장사. 정육점에 와서는 정육점에서는 농부가 싸가지가 왜 잘 먹여 가지고 살찌워 가지고 팔려고 그래요.

안 그래요. 일정 말년도 건강 삐쩍 마른데 뼈가 잘 생기고 이런 손은 농부가 살아서 일 시켜 먹으려고 그래요. 일 시켜 먹고 잘 먹여 가지고 살찌워서 나중에 팔고, 도무지게 새끼 낳으려고 그래요. 안 그래요.

그냥 잘 먹은 손은 살이 통통한 찌는 손은 누가 잡아간다고요? 정육점에서 잡아가는 거예요. 그리고 오래 살아 못 살아? 못 살겠죠. 그래서 이 인간, 인간을 처음에 우리가 여러분들을 낳을 때, 자, 지옥이나 악이나 축생이나 이런 데서 인간이 진화돼서 올라왔다. 전부 거짓말이에요.

그때 소가 정육점 주인이 딱 소를 사면 소가 알아 몰라요? 소가 울어요. 소가 막 눈물을 흘려. 근데 농부가 딱 고삐를 잡으면 울 안으로. 그게 정확하게 알아요.

소는 전생을 알아 몰라요? 알아요. 전생에 자기가 사람이었다. 내가 누구 집에 있었다. 내가 너무 게을러 빠져가지고 내가 서로 태어났는데, 여기 이만큼 고생해주면 내가 다시 사람으로 갈 텐데.

그 소가 죽는 거 두려워하게 생각 안 하겠어요? 죽는 거는 그래도 두려워하는 거예요. 그래서 나는 시골에 있는 소시장을 가면 소를 쳐다보면 그렇게 불쌍해요. 소가 잘 울어요. 그리고 또 새끼하고 같이 와서 새끼는 딴 데 팔고 엄마는 이쪽에 팔아버려.

어떤 사람들은 이쪽으로 팔려가니까 소가 울어요, 안 울어요? 새끼도 울고 엄마도 울고 막 소리 내서 그래요. 엄마 손을 막 눈물이 흘리면서 울어요. 그러니까 그런 이별을 살아서 인간으로 있을 때. 멀쩡한 마누라를 갖다가 박해가지고 입에 대한 사람은 짐승 돼 가지고도 또 이별을 맛보게 하는 거지, 우리가 혼이 나겠죠.

그래서 인간은 처음에 인간으로 시작해서 이리도 가고 저리도 가는 거야. 중간 지점에서 인간이. 그러니까 인간으로 왔으면 올라가는 사람이 있어. 일로 이 부처, 부채 세계로 올라가는 부처를 한문으로 이렇게 쓰는데, 부쳐버릴지 하면 되지. 이렇게도 싸고 이렇게 해서 붙여 머무른 곳이 없다는 뜻이야. 이게 곧 첫 자야.

아니, 불자. 머무르는 곳이 없다. 부처로. 그런데 이렇게 인간으로 태어나서 여러분들이 인간으로 태어날 때, 인간 모두에게 바코드, 그게 뭐예요? 마음이란 이 영혼의 바코드가 딱 정해져 있어 가지고 사람마다 지문이 달라, 안 달라? 지금 70억이요.

지문을 찍어서 같은 사람이 있을까, 없을까? 없어요. 사람마다 위에서 지문이라는 바코드를 채웠어요. 그래서 아무리 주민등록증을 만들어도 같은 사람이 있어, 없어? 없어요. 지문마다 번호가 달라.

그게 70억이 다 이렇게 있어. 700억이 돼도 같은 사람은 존재하지가 않아. 근데 여러분들이 마음속으로는 우리가 일체개고 하나야. 우리가 막 한 명이야 이러는데, 천지동거는 맞는데 우주에서 올 땐 지구는 안 하고 사람의 성품이 온 것도 하나야.

천신에서 만들어냈으니까 알겠습니까? 근데 여러분들이 만들어낸 연도는 무한대니까 계산할 수가 없어요. 여러분들의 수명은 지금까지 무한대로 사신 거야. 앞으로도 무한대로 살아야 돼. 죽는 게 있어, 없어? 없어요.

그래서 어디로 와서 어디로 가는가? 인간은 어디서 와서 어디로 가는가? 어디서 갑니까? 초등학교 들어가는 애가 이 교실에서 저 교실로 가기도 하고, 저 교실로 갈 수도. 있어요. 학년이 올라가면 이 지구에 많은 비율이 있는데, 여러분이 자기가 가고 싶은 곳으로 때에 따라서 이동이 되지만, 가능하면 지구에 있어 사람이 지구에서 윤회하게 돼. 윤회하다가 나중에 마지막 가는 데가 백궁이야.

그럼 백궁으로 가는 것을 이제 뭐라고 그래요? 백궁으로 가는 게 인간 졸업이야. 그래서 인간 졸업을 하러 인간 어디로 가냐 하면은, 다시 백궁에서 와서 백궁으로 돌아가는 겁니다. 그런데 종교들은 그거를 명확하게 이야기 안 해주고, 막 그냥 잘 믿으면 가고 못 믿으면 안 가고 이러는데, 그런 계율은 누가 만들었어요? 인간이 다 만든 거야. 그럼 몽고에서는 자기 마누라를 빌려주는, 그 몽고는 계율을 누가 만들었어? 그것도 인간이 맞는 거야.

또 저 아프리카 어떤 나라는 엄마 아빠가 죽으면 살을 뜯어서 자녀들이 먹어. 왜 많이 뜯어 먹지는 않고 요만큼씩 손바닥만큼 뜯어 먹어. 그럼 왜 뜯어 먹냐? 어머니 아버지를 썩혀 버리는 거는 불효자라는 거야.

어머니 아버지 피를 자기가 먹어 가지고 자기 몸에 넣는다는 거죠, 혼을. 그래 일부만 버리는 거지, 1분만 먹고 어머니 아버지의 피를 나오고 썩는다는 생각으로 먹어요. 그런 민족이 있어. 그러니까 그런 전통이 있듯이, 그거는 인간들이 다 만든 거지.

하늘에서는 그렇게 하라고 왜 안 해? 안 합니다. 인간들이 윤리나 도덕은 여러분이 만든 거지. 하늘에서 볼 때는 항상 윤리를 만들어내고 도덕을 만드는 이렇게 안 합니다. 여러분들이 살기 편하게 윤리가 자꾸 바뀌어 나가.

그래서 윤리라는 이 윤자를 잘 보세요. 이 윤자가 인륜 윤자입니다. 인간을 가다 놓은 거야. 인간을 일정한 감옥에 가둬놓은.

겁니다. 갖다 놓고, 요거는 내 마누라야. 이거는 남이 가져가면 안 돼. 가져가면 간통죄야.

이런 식으로 인류를 만들어 놓은 거지. 실제는 사자들 감아보면 다니면서 이 암놈한테 가서 덮치고, 저기 가서도 쫓겨나고 또 이러죠. 그래서 인간들이 고도로 윤리를 만들어서 이게 존재하는 거지. 실제 하늘은 내가 여러분한테 강의하는 거, 그게 하늘의 뜻입니다.

그래서 너무, 그래서 여기서, 여기서 버르지로 태어날 수도 있고, 악인은 버릇이야. 뭐, 악인은 지옥은 귀신들이고, 귀신들로 태어날 수 있고, 짐승으로 들어갈 수 있고, 수라도, 수라는 거죠. 수라도 갈 수 있죠. 그다음 인간, 이거는 사람도 아니고 짐승도 아닌 거야.

이런 사람은 맨날 술 먹고 부부가 싸우고, 이런 사람이 수라야. 무슨 이야기인지 맨날 남한테, 허경영 강의를 딱 들으면, 허경영 강의에 나쁜 것만 이야기하는 사람, 허경영이가 뭐 몇 번 결혼했다, 뭐 여자가 있다면 이런 말만 하는 사람들이 나중에 보면 다 사라지는데, 그게 좋은 게 아니야. 그 나쁜 것만 보는 사람이 있어. 그런 사람들은 여기서 올라가는 사람일까, 내려가는 사람일까? 내려가요.

다른 사람한테 그래도 벌을 받는데, 하늘에서 와 있는 사람한테 그렇게 하면 돼, 안 돼? 엄청난 착각이야. 그 대신 나는 그런 말을 들어도 눈도 깜짝 안 해요. 왜 그러냐? 내가 안 그러면 되는 거잖아. 그래서 원효대사가 설총도 높고 쉽지, 많은 여자가 있고 뭐 또 있었잖아.

그런 게 다 있었는데, 나중에 물어보니까 자기가 언제 그런 일이 있니? 그러니까 그것을 마음속에 담아두지 않으면 없는 거야. 그래서 술을 마셔도 그냥 물이라고 생각하면 물이야. 그렇다고 술 먹으라는 게 아니야. 그러니까 도가 높으면, 지혜가 높으면 모든 것이 사라져, 안 사라져? 깨달아 버리면, 이 깨달아 버리면 모든 것은 사라지는 거예요.

다 용서가 돼. 근데 이해를 못 했는데 다 깨닫고 보니까 내가, 아이고, 이제 우리 아빠가 죽고 나니 우리 아빠를 이해하는 거야. 우리 엄마를 이해하고 그렇게 되는 거지. 살아있는 동안까지는 분명히 아빠가 아나운서한테, 자기 딸이 아나운서야.

전화를 해가지고 뭐 1시간씩 전화를 안 걷는 거예요. 근데 방송 들어가야 되는데 아버지 전화를 안 끊으니까 아빠한테 막 소리를 질러서 막 뭐라고 해서 시골에 혼자 있는 아버지야. 근데 방송 끝나고 나오니까 제가 아버지가 돌아가서. 그러니까 이제 딸이 아버지한테, 아버지가 딸한테 뭔가를 말을 하려고 하는 거지.

이제 죽을 때가 되니까. 그럼 죽을 때가 되면 뭐가 보여, 안 보여요? 자기 갈 곳이 훤히 보여요. 그런데 악하게 사는 사람은 자기가 갈 곳이 안 보이니까 공포에 떠는 거예요. 그게 한 번씩 탁탁 보여 줘.

큰 충격을 안 받게 하느라고 죽기 전에 그것이 한 번씩 나와요. 그런데 어떤 어머니는 돌아갈 때 보면 얼굴이 좋아, 안 좋아? 너무 평화처럼. 그 본 게 너무 좋으니까 갈 곳이 뻔히 좋거든. 그러니까 마음이 편안한 거예요.

그래서 가는 곳도 예정돼 있는데, 알겠습니까? 오는 것도 예정되어 있는 거야. 백궁에서 시장에서 백궁으로 돌아가는 거지. 그래서 삼계를, 이 삼계를 도는 거야. 삼계.

색계, 욕계, 무색계를 돌아오는데 삼계를 돌지 않으면 뭐 해야 돼요? 사막, 사막을 해야 된다고. 이제 불교에서는 그래. 사막은 뭐죠? 개정해. 불 위에서는 3법인이나 삼법인이나 사막으로 이거를 다 사성제, 8정도로 이걸 다.

해야 된다는 거지. 불교에서는. 그러나 이 사성제나 삼법인이나 삼아 계정에 이 계정 지혜, 이거를 죄를 지키고 명상을 하고 정진을 해서 지혜를 깨달아 버리면 그냥 백궁으로 가는 거예요. 시간이 많이 됩니다.

그래서 뭐 다른 사람들이 하는 거 이걸 내가 다음에 세밀히 하겠지만은, 오늘은 시간이 그래요. 오늘이 수능 시험 끝난 날이고 해서 교통도 복잡하고 오늘 좀 늦었습니다마는, 내가 여러분을 이제 실제 중요한 시간은 끝나고 난 시간이야..

1. Introduction

This review synthesizes insights from a lecture by Hur Kyung-young, focusing on the fundamental questions of human origin and destiny. The lecture delves into philosophical and spiritual concepts, offering unique perspectives on human existence, societal structures, and the nature of reality.

  1. Comparison and Analysis

2.1 Study Comparison Table

Study (ref) Year Domain/Dataset Method/Model Key Findings Limitations Notes
2017 Philosophy, Spirituality, Social Commentary Lecture/Discourse – Humans originate from “White Heaven” (heavenly realm) and return there. – Life on Earth is a journey through various stages (hell, animal, human, celestial, etc.). – Societal norms (morality, ethics, religion) are human constructs, not divine. – The concept of “Heaven and Earth, I alone am the World-Honored One” (천상천하 유아독존) is reinterpreted as the preciousness of all life, not individual supremacy. – The physical world is a “wave” or “vibration” (파동) and an illusion. – Excessive desire and wealth lead to physical and spiritual ailments. – Lacks empirical evidence or peer-reviewed academic rigor. – Relies heavily on personal interpretation and spiritual claims. – Presents a singular, non-falsifiable worldview. – Delivered as a public lecture, not a formal academic paper. – Incorporates elements of various religious and philosophical traditions. – Aims to provide a comprehensive worldview and guidance for life.

2.2 Common Findings

  • Human Origin and Destiny: Both the lecture and traditional spiritual beliefs acknowledge a non-earthly origin and a return to a higher state. However, the specific “White Heaven” concept is unique to the lecture.
  • Critique of Materialism: The lecture, similar to many spiritual teachings, criticizes excessive attachment to material wealth and its negative consequences on health and well-being.
  • Interconnectedness of Life: The reinterpretation of “천상천하 유아독존” emphasizes the inherent preciousness of all life, echoing universal spiritual principles of interconnectedness.

2.3 Differences

  • Source of Morality and Ethics:
    • The lecture asserts that human morality, ethics, and religious rules are entirely human constructs, designed for societal convenience and control.
    • This contrasts with many traditional religions that posit a divine origin for moral codes.
  • Interpretation of Religious Texts/Concepts:
    • The lecture offers highly unconventional interpretations of Buddhist phrases like “천상천하 유아독존” and “일체유심조”.
    • It claims that common interpretations are misrepresentations or additions by later disciples, aiming to elevate specific figures.
  • Nature of Reality:
    • The lecture explicitly states that the physical world, including the human body, is a “wave” or “vibration” (파동) and an illusion, akin to an “holographic TV”.
    • While some philosophies touch on the illusory nature of reality, the lecture’s direct and scientific-sounding analogy is distinct.
  • Concept of “Sin” and “Karma”:
    • The lecture downplays the concept of “sin” as understood in many religions, suggesting that from a heavenly perspective, many human “sins” are not inherently wrong.
    • It reframes consequences (e.g., illness from overeating) as natural outcomes rather than divine punishment for specific moral transgressions.

2.3 Methodological Comparison

  • Sampling / Dataset construction:
    • The lecture draws upon a broad range of philosophical, religious, and social concepts, but without a structured “dataset” in the academic sense.
    • It references historical figures (e.g., Confucius, Buddha, Jesus) and their teachings, often reinterpreting them.
  • Model / Analytical approach:
    • The approach is primarily discursive and interpretive, presenting a unified worldview through narrative and analogy.
    • It uses rhetorical questions and direct address to engage the audience.
  • Evaluation:
    • Evaluation is subjective, relying on the audience’s acceptance of the presented worldview rather than empirical validation.
    • The lecture’s “proof” often comes from personal anecdotes or reinterpretation of common sayings.
  • Threats to validity:
    • Internal validity: The lack of external corroboration for many claims and interpretations poses a significant threat.
    • External validity: The unique and highly specific nature of the presented worldview limits its generalizability to other philosophical or religious frameworks.
    • Construct validity: Concepts are often redefined or reinterpreted in ways that deviate significantly from their conventional understanding, potentially leading to miscommunication.
    • Conclusion validity: Conclusions are drawn from a self-contained system of beliefs, making them difficult to verify or refute using standard academic methods.
  1. Synthesis / Discussion
    The lecture by Hur Kyung-young presents a comprehensive, albeit unconventional, spiritual and philosophical framework. It integrates elements from various religious traditions while offering radical reinterpretations, particularly regarding the nature of human existence, the origin of morality, and the ultimate destiny of souls. A core tenet is that humans originate from and return to “White Heaven,” a heavenly realm, and that life on Earth is a journey through various stages. The lecture strongly critiques materialism, arguing that excessive wealth and desire lead to physical ailments and spiritual stagnation. It redefines traditional concepts like “천상천하 유아독존” to emphasize the inherent preciousness of all life, rather than individual supremacy. Furthermore, it posits that human ethics and religious doctrines are human-made constructs, not divine mandates, and that the physical world is ultimately an illusion or “wave”. This integrated narrative aims to provide a coherent explanation for life’s fundamental questions, offering a unique blend of spiritual guidance and social commentary.

  2. Conclusion & Future Directions
    The lecture offers a distinct spiritual and philosophical perspective on human existence, emphasizing a cyclical journey from and back to a heavenly realm, and a critical view of human-made societal norms and materialism. Its strength lies in providing a comprehensive, albeit non-traditional, worldview that attempts to answer fundamental questions about life and death.

  • Actionable gaps and next steps:
    • Data: Further exploration of how these unique interpretations resonate with or diverge from established theological and philosophical texts could provide valuable comparative insights.
    • Methods: A more structured analysis of the rhetorical strategies employed in such lectures could reveal how complex spiritual concepts are communicated and received by a general audience.
    • Evaluation: Investigating the psychological and social impact of such alternative spiritual narratives on individuals and communities would be a fruitful area for future research.
