2015.10.03 994 The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity
What is the truth about absolute and relative nature? Everything visible is relative, but invisible things like parents and humility are absolute, transcending time and change.
- Introduction to Absolute and Relative Truth
1.1. Audience Engagement and YouTube’s Role
-
He welcomed new attendees who discovered the event through YouTube, noting the platform’s growing influence.
-
Many attendees, including a son who watched YouTube, found the event by chance.
-
Even broadcasting stations are watching YouTube, leading to invitations for Mr. Huh to appear on TV.
-
He discussed YouTube’s advertising model, where ads appear on popular videos.
-
More views lead to higher ad revenue, which can eventually generate significant income, potentially millions of dollars per month.
-
This income could be used to fund political campaigns, such as a presidential election.
-
He introduced the main topic for the day: the truth of absolute and relative nature.
-
Absolute vs. Relative Truth: Examples and Concepts
2.1. The Nature of Absolute and Relative
- everything visible is relative, meaning it will eventually decay and disappear.
- This perspective often leads to a flawed understanding of the world.
- In contrast, absolute things are eternal and unchanging, like gold.
- Only those who come from heaven possess the “golden ruler” (a metaphor for absolute truth) and listening to them can lead to salvation.
2.2. Case Study: Hwang Su-gwan vs. Jimmy Carter
- He compared Hwang Su-gwan, a health expert, with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
- Hwang Su-gwan, an immunologist, died at 67, while Jimmy Carter is 92 and expected to live past 110.
- This comparison highlights a contradiction: health experts often die young, while politicians, despite their stressful lives, can live long.
- He criticized leaders who claim to promote public well-being but whose actions contradict their words.
- For example, a politician who preaches happiness to the public but engages in extramarital affairs demonstrates a disconnect between words and actions.
- Living longer, especially past 70, is described as experiencing life more deeply.
- The years between 70 and 100 are equivalent to 1,300 years of a young person’s life, as older individuals gain a profound understanding of the world.
- Dying young, especially before 60, means missing out on this deeper understanding of life.
2.3. Absolute and Relative Judgment
- He asked whether heaven judges people absolutely or relatively.
- Most people believe judgment is relative.
- Relative judgment involves comparison, like in the Korean SAT where scores are ranked against others.
- Absolute judgment, however, sets a fixed standard, like the recent change in English SAT where a score of 90 or above is always a top grade, regardless of how others perform.
- Students prefer absolute grading, but it’s rarely applied to other subjects.
2.4. The Concept of Mugeuk (No Polarity)
-
He introduced the concept of Mugeuk, meaning “no polarity” or “no yin and yang.”
-
Earth has yin and yang (like the Taegeuk symbol) and gravity.
-
However, in the realm of Mugeuk, there is no yin and yang, and no gravity.
-
The True Cause of Illness and Death
3.1. Hwang Su-gwan’s Death and the Misconception of “Symptoms”
- Hwang Su-gwan, the immunologist, died from sepsis (blood poisoning) due to a lack of immunity, despite his expertise in the field.
- Sepsis is caused by bacteria entering the body through a small wound and spreading due to a weak immune system.
- He clarified that “증” (jeung), meaning symptom, is not a disease itself, but rather a sign of an underlying problem.
- Dying from a symptom like sepsis indicates a severe lack of immunity, not the symptom itself as the cause of death.
- This suggests that Hwang Su-gwan overworked himself, leading to a weakened immune system.
- He questioned why people don’t wonder about the true cause of Hwang Su-gwan’s weakened immunity, despite his public image as a healthy, smiling lecturer.
- Possible reasons include overwork, overeating, or a false pretense of health.
- the truth spoken by someone from heaven (absolute truth) differs greatly from what human professors say.
3.2. The Dangers of Sleep Deprivation and Excess
- sleeping less than 7 hours or more than 8 hours causes the heart to produce calcium deposits (석회).
- These calcium deposits harden blood vessels, starting from the capillaries.
- This process can lead to serious health problems, even if the person appears healthy.
- Accumulation of calcium in blood vessels can lead to sepsis, as hardened vessels cannot effectively fight infection.
- People who are ambitious and don’t sleep enough, or those who sleep too much, accumulate calcium in their hearts, leading to illness and death.
- The most frightening disease is a chronic disease (고병), which includes genetic diseases.
- These are difficult to cure, such as diabetes or heart disease inherited from parents.
- Chronic diseases, mental illnesses, and physical illnesses are the three types of “incurable diseases.”
- Chronic diseases are the most severe, followed by physical illnesses, and then mental illnesses.
- Symptoms like sepsis are considered the least severe.
3.3. The Importance of a Bright Demeanor and Avoiding Overwork
- Maintaining a bright facial expression is crucial because it affects hormone levels and prevents calcium buildup.
- He noted that Hwang Su-gwan, despite his admirable journey from a difficult background to becoming a doctor, had a “short-lived” appearance.
- His constant travel and lectures, often eating alone and not getting proper rest, led to his body breaking down.
- Becoming a famous professor can lead to neglecting one’s health.
3.4. The Greatest Suffering: Poverty and Material Hardship
-
He recounted a story from Buddha, who said that the greatest suffering is not the pain of death, but the suffering related to money and material possessions.
-
An example is a mother with six children living in a basement, whose husband has died, and who has no money for food or rent.
-
The inability to provide for her children causes more pain than death itself.
-
He stated that there are many such women in Korea and promised to help them if he becomes president, ensuring their privacy and dignity.
-
The goal is to create an environment where people can genuinely smile, rather than forcing smiles on those suffering from hardship.
-
Many elderly women in Korea have overcome immense hardship, often working physically demanding jobs that have taken a toll on their bodies.
-
These are the people who truly need to be made to smile.
-
The Role of Leaders and National Development
4.1. Jimmy Carter’s Contribution to Peace
- He praised Jimmy Carter for preventing a potential third Korean War during the axe murder incident at Panmunjom.
- Carter’s intervention prevented further conflict, a contribution many Koreans are unaware of.
- Carter, despite the hardships of his political career, helped the Korean people by averting war, which is a form of making them “smile.”
- His appearance, with a beard and white hair, reflects his honest and humble nature, stemming from his background as a farmer’s son.
4.2. Agricultural New Deal Policy for National Health and Prosperity
-
He proposed an Agricultural New Deal policy to promote national health and economic prosperity.
-
This plan involves creating over 1,000 agricultural communities, each accommodating more than 5 million people.
-
These communities would utilize abandoned rural elementary schools, which are often located in auspicious, sunny, and fertile areas.
-
These schools were once attended by the leaders who built Korea’s economy.
-
In contrast, urban schools, where children are “grown like bean sprouts,” offer no hope for the future.
-
The policy would provide salaries to those working in agriculture, eliminating unemployment.
-
A couple could earn 2 million won per month, accumulating 100 million won in three years.
-
These communities would offer various living arrangements, including family and single-person housing.
-
Children in these communities would grow up playing barefoot in nature, fostering health and a connection to the land.
-
This upbringing would produce individuals capable of elevating Korea to a global power.
-
He claimed that children raised in large cities, eating processed foods, will be shorter, asserting that his words are never false.
-
The Three Types of Sins and the Importance of Humility
5.1. Sins of Body, Speech, and Mind
- He identified three types of sins: those committed by the body, speech, and mind.
- Sins of speech are the most common.
- Among sins of speech, “mang-eon” (망언), meaning “absurd or reckless talk,” is the worst.
- He criticized lectures that encourage people to laugh when they are suffering, arguing that forced laughter produces toxins.
- True laughter should come from an environment where people are genuinely happy.
- Forced laughter can lead to stress and resentment, as people compare their suffering to the apparent happiness of others.
- He used wordplay to illustrate the concept of “beauty without flaws” (티 없는 아름다움).
- He also explained the origin of “Help me” as a plea to be saved from “hell” (지옥).
- These examples demonstrate how language can be used to evoke genuine laughter.
5.2. The True Cause of Stress: Arrogance
- He challenged the common belief that stress is the root cause of all diseases, calling it a misconception of Western medicine.
- He argued that simply telling people to avoid stress is unhelpful, as stress is a natural part of life.
- In contrast, cultures like Tibet, which are peaceful, don’t even have a concept of stress as a disease.
- He asserted that arrogance (교만) is the true cause of stress.
- Examples include politicians fighting over seating arrangements at events, which causes immense stress for organizers and attendees.
- This desire to be seen as superior to others fuels arrogance and, consequently, stress.
5.3. The Power of Humility: Lessons from Jesus
-
He referenced Jesus’s act of washing his disciples’ feet as a symbolic act of humility (겸손).
-
This act teaches that true leadership involves serving others and lowering oneself.
-
Humility eliminates stress, whereas arrogance leads to an early death.
-
Arrogant individuals are naturally “removed” by the laws of nature.
-
A humble person, even when performing difficult labor, feels gratitude and works diligently.
-
This attitude leads to opportunities and a sense of joy in their work, as they are motivated by their families.
-
In contrast, arrogant individuals, especially those from privileged backgrounds, may resist manual labor and complain.
-
Humble workers are recognized for their dedication and reliability, leading to continued employment.
-
Arrogant workers, however, are often resentful and unproductive, leading to their downfall.
-
He warned that arrogant individuals who hoard resources or mistreat others will suffer negative consequences, such as burst blood vessels.
-
Humble individuals, even if they go hungry, maintain their purity.
-
He reiterated that stress is not the cause of illness; rather, it is arrogance.
-
Cultivating a humble mindset, like picking up trash on the street, eliminates stress.
-
Jesus’s act of washing feet was a symbolic message against arrogance, emphasizing that even he, a leader, felt no stress in serving others.
-
The Benefits of Stress and the Importance of Trust
6.1. The Positive Aspects of Stress
- He argued that stress, in moderation, can be beneficial.
- He used the example of hairtail fish, which die quickly when caught but survive longer if a predator is introduced into their tank, as the stress keeps them alert.
- Similarly, wealthy individuals in the past often died young due to a lack of “predators” (challenges), while their servants, constantly under pressure, lived longer.
- This suggests that a certain level of stress can promote longevity.
6.2. The Concept of Dotong (Ultimate Geomancy)
- He introduced the concept of Dotong, which is the highest level of geomancy (풍수).
- Traditional geomancy involves elements like the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
- Dotong transcends these elements; wherever Mr. Huh sits becomes an auspicious place.
- Good people do not need to worry about geomancy, as heaven guides them to good places.
- Conversely, those who are not good often obsess over geomancy, which itself creates stress.
6.3. Healthy vs. Unhealthy Stress
-
He differentiated between healthy and unhealthy stress.
-
Healthy stress arises from a humble desire to do one’s best and please one’s employer, leading to satisfaction and reduced fatigue.
-
This type of stress motivates individuals to work diligently and ensure that those who provided the work are praised.
-
The Human Body’s Defense System and the Cycle of Life
7.1. The Role of Lymphatic Fluid in Immunity
- sepsis occurs when bacteria enter the lymphatic fluid (임파액), which circulates throughout the body.
- When a limb is cut, clear fluid (lymph) emerges first, followed by blood.
- Lymphatic fluid, like the coolant in a car engine, circulates throughout the body, fighting bacteria.
- Blood, in contrast, primarily transports nutrients.
- When a wound heals, clear fluid (lymph) emerges, indicating a strong immune response.
- In diabetic patients, this fluid does not appear, leading to tissue decay.
- This “wound fluid” (진물) continuously disinfects the wound.
- If bacteria enter the lymphatic system and the body’s immunity is weak, rapid deterioration occurs.
7.2. The Principle of Cause and Effect
-
He emphasized the principle of cause and effect: negative words spoken to others will eventually return to the speaker.
-
Everything has a cause, and nothing exists without a reason.
-
The Four Sins of Speech and the Five Stages of Human Development
8.1. The Four Sins of Speech
- He identified four major sins of speech: mang-eon (reckless talk), yang-seol (slander), ak-gu (cursing), and gi-eo (deceit).
- Mang-eon (망언): Speaking absurd or reckless words.
- Yang-seol (양설): Slandering others.
- Ak-gu (악구): Cursing others.
- Gi-eo (기어): Deceiving others.
- He noted that the character for “woman” (女) in Chinese characters often appears in negative terms, such as “jealousy” (투기) and “envy” (질투).
- He specifically highlighted “mang-eon” as particularly destructive, causing lifelong suffering for both Mr. Huh and the victim.
8.2. The Cycle of Life and Death: Why Good People Die Young
- exceptionally good people sometimes die young because they are being “promoted” to a better life, such as being reborn as a prince in another country.
- This transition is precisely timed by heaven, often within 49 days of death.
- Similarly, some cancer patients who are deemed incurable are actually destined for a better existence.
- Their early departure is not a punishment but a transition to a more favorable realm.
- Geniuses, who live a hundred years’ worth of life in a short time, also tend to die young.
- This rapid life cycle is not necessarily negative.
8.3. The Three Sins of Mind and Body
- He outlined three sins of the mind: greed (탐), anger (진), and ignorance/false views (치/사견).
- Greed (탐): Excessive desire.
- Anger (진): Frequent outbursts of temper.
- Ignorance/False Views (치/사견): Foolishness or incorrect beliefs.
- He also listed three sins of the body: killing (살생), stealing (투도), and sexual misconduct (사음).
- Killing (살생): Taking a life.
- Stealing (투도): Taking what is not yours.
- Sexual Misconduct (사음): Engaging in inappropriate sexual acts.
- These are considered the Ten Evil Deeds (십악중죄).
8.4. The Five Stages of Human Conception and Development
-
He detailed the five stages of human development from conception to birth, emphasizing the miraculous nature of human existence.
-
Ovulation (배란기): A woman’s egg is viable for only 24 hours.
-
If not fertilized, it perishes.
-
Men’s sperm, however, can survive for 70 hours.
-
He criticized modern women for delaying marriage and childbirth, wasting many viable eggs.
-
Fertilization (수정): The sperm and egg meet.
-
He highlighted that being born human is a miracle, as one sperm out of 500 million successfully fertilizes the egg.
-
He warned that if fertilization occurs when the egg is nearing the end of its 24-hour viability, it can lead to birth defects.
-
The egg and sperm are “half-cells” that combine to form a complete cell, which then begins to divide.
-
Implantation (착상): The fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall after 14 days in the fallopian tube.
-
During these 14 days, the fertilized egg is in a stem cell state, capable of creating any organ.
-
After implantation, it becomes a “blastocyst cell” and can no longer be used to create other organs.
-
Embryonic Stage (배아기): The soul enters the body 49 days after conception.
-
This 49-day period is significant in both Judaism (7×7=49) and Christianity (Pentecost, 50th day).
-
The quality of the soul that enters depends on the parents’ actions and their ancestors’ past lives.
-
Humble and selfless parents attract good souls.
-
Fetal Stage (태아기): The human body develops.
-
He lamented the high rate of miscarriages and the prevalence of unhealthy, irritable children due to delayed pregnancies.
-
He proposed a policy to reward women who give birth before age 25 with a bonus of 50 million won, in addition to a 30 million won childbirth subsidy and interest-free housing loans.
-
This encourages early marriage and healthy pregnancies.
-
being born healthy is a miracle, and people should not be full of complaints.
-
The 49-day period is also relevant to death, as the soul is believed to be reborn after 49 days, making ancestral rites after this period unnecessary.
-
He asserted that he, despite not being an obstetrician, can explain these complex processes in an easily understandable way.
-
He warned that negative thoughts and actions can lead to the birth of “strange children.”
-
He concluded by reiterating that human life is a precious miracle, and people should be grateful for their existence.
-
Absolute and Relative Nature of Existence
9.1. The Relative Nature of the Physical World
- He stated that everything visible and physical, including the human body, is relative and temporary.
- Buildings, the sun, and even the earth will eventually change or disappear.
- Concepts like neutrality, balance, and the center are also relative, as they depend on a surrounding context.
9.2. The Absolute Nature of Invisible Values
-
In contrast, invisible things can be absolute, even if created by humans.
-
Examples include parents, grandparents, and ancestors, whose roles are unchanging and absolute across generations.
-
Filial piety (효도) is also an absolute value that remains constant.
-
absolute values like filial piety and humility (겸손) can overcome all diseases, disasters, and even transcend religious boundaries.
-
A humble person who respects others will receive blessings from heaven, regardless of their physical circumstances.
-
The Metaphor of the Swallow and the Power of Self-Discovery
10.1. The Swallow’s Leap of Faith
- He used the metaphor of a baby swallow being pushed out of its nest by its mother.
- The baby swallow, fearing death, clings to the nest, unaware it possesses the ability to fly.
- Similarly, humans possess “angelic qualities” and the potential to do good and attract wealth, but they are often unaware of these abilities.
- The mother swallow eventually forces the baby out, and it discovers its ability to fly.
- Once it learns to fly, it never returns to the nest, symbolizing independence and self-discovery.
10.2. Overcoming Greed and Embracing Humility
-
He connected this metaphor to human behavior, stating that by abandoning greed (탐욕) and embracing humility (겸손), individuals can achieve freedom and soar like the swallow.
-
This means actively engaging in good deeds.
-
Divine Judgment and National Development
11.1. Absolute Judgment from Heaven
- heaven judges people absolutely, not relatively.
- It does not rank individuals based on how much sin they’ve committed compared to others.
- Instead, heaven focuses on the good deeds and acts of love and compassion (사랑과 자비) an individual has performed.
- Judgment is continuous, happening every second, not just after death.
- These judgments accumulate in one’s genes (유전자).
- People’s opinions and actions towards others, like praising or criticizing a president, affect their own “scores.”
- All actions are recorded as waves or frequencies (파동/주파수) in the universe.
- Therefore, the idea that judgment occurs only after death, as taught in some religions, is incorrect.
- Immediate consequences, such as illness or accidents, result from negative actions.
- After death, the soul directly proceeds to its destined place within 49 days, without further judgment.
- This emphasizes the importance of living well each day.
11.2. Lessons from Japan and the Path to National Prosperity
-
He acknowledged that while Koreans often harbor resentment towards Japan, they should also learn from Japan’s strengths.
-
Japanese-built structures, like Seoul Station, are durable due to their adherence to principles, unlike Korea’s history of shoddy construction.
-
Japan’s technological advancement, even when Korea was less developed, highlights their commitment to quality.
-
He outlined the stages of national development based on economic indicators:
-
$10,000 GDP per capita: Achieved through labor (노동력).
-
$20,000 GDP per capita: Achieved through technology (기술 논리). Korea is currently at this stage.
-
He criticized Koreans for constantly blaming Japan and North Korea, instead of self-reflecting and improving.
-
$30,000 GDP per capita: Requires etiquette (예의) and consideration (배려) for others.
-
This involves moving beyond animosity towards other nations.
-
He noted that Japan’s construction techniques from decades ago are still superior to current Korean methods.
-
$50,000 GDP per capita: Requires trust (신뢰).
-
Switzerland, known for its neutrality and reliability, holds the world’s gold reserves and has historically protected the Pope.
-
This demonstrates the immense value of trust in global affairs.
-
$90,000 GDP per capita and beyond: Achieved through a focus on these higher values.
-
He stated his goal to elevate South Korea to $100,000 GDP per capita and achieve world unification.
-
This requires cultivating trust, consideration, and etiquette among the populace.
-
These qualities cannot be imitated by countries like China, which can only copy labor and technology.
-
The Absolute Energy of Huh Kyung-young and the Future of Korea
12.1. Huh Kyung-young’s Absolute Energy
- He, Huh Kyung-young, claimed to possess absolute energy (절대성 에너지) from the universe, which is not found in anything else.
- This energy, present in his photos and even in products bearing his image, can create and summon infinite cosmic energy.
- He predicted that the global economy will eventually revolve around his image and products.
- He contrasted his absolute energy with the relative energy of the sun.
- The sun’s energy cannot reach people on the other side of the world due to the Earth’s rotation.
- However, his energy can reach anyone, anywhere, simply by calling his name, bringing health, luck, and well-being.
- He likened this to the Holy Spirit (성령) in Christianity, but claimed no other religious figure has demonstrated such power.
- He emphasized the importance of believing in this absolute energy.
12.2. The End of Relative Ideologies and the National Dividend System
- He declared that “middle” ideologies like Buddhism’s Middle Way (중도), Christianity’s neutrality (중립), Confucianism’s Golden Mean (중용), and Taoism’s harmony (중화) are obsolete in the 21st century.
- These concepts are relative because they require a “surrounding” to define their “center.”
- The 21st century demands an era of Mugeuk (무극 대도시), or absolute truth, where people are not bound by relative comparisons like rich and poor.
- He proposed a National Dividend System (국민 배당제) to address economic inequality.
- He stated that each Korean citizen effectively owns 1.3 billion won (approximately $1 million) of national assets.
- Under his presidency, he would pay annual interest on this amount (simplified to 1 billion won) to every citizen, providing disposable income and stimulating the economy.
- He criticized the current system where national funds are wasted on military spending or disappear into corruption, leading to public debt and corporate struggles.
- He promised to eliminate national debt within a few years if elected.
- He concluded by promising a more detailed lecture on his energy in the future.
Meeting Minutes: The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity
Ⅰ. Meeting Overview
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Date | October 3, 2015 |
| Location | Not specified (implied to be a lecture hall) |
| Speaker | Huh Kyung-young |
| Topic | The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity |
| Source | YouTube video: “허경영강연 994회 ‘절대성과 상대성의 진리’ (20151003) 합본” |
Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion
-
Introduction to Absoluteness and Relativity
- He introduces the concepts of absoluteness and relativity, using a “golden ruler” as a metaphor for absolute truth, which is eternal and unchanging.
- Relativity is associated with things that decay and disappear, representing the transient nature of the world.
- Human judgment is often relative, but divine judgment is absolute.
- The Korean college entrance exam (Suneung) has shifted from relative to absolute grading for English, meaning a score above 90 is always a top grade, regardless of other students’ performance. This change is generally favored by students.
-
Critique of Modern Medical and Societal Views
- Case Study: Dr. Hwang Su-gwan and Jimmy Carter
- Dr. Hwang Su-gwan, a renowned health expert, died at 67 from immune deficiency (sepsis), despite promoting health.
- Jimmy Carter, a politician, is still active at 92, suggesting that his actions (like preventing war) contribute to a longer, more meaningful life, unlike Dr. Hwang’s focus on individual health.
- Dr. Hwang’s death was due to self-inflicted stress from overwork and a lack of genuine humility, leading to physical deterioration like calcium buildup in the heart from irregular sleep.
- Critique of Stress as a Disease Cause
- He challenges the Western medical view that stress is the primary cause of illness.
- Instead, he posits that “arrogance” (교만) is the root cause of stress.
- humility (겸손), exemplified by Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, eliminates stress and promotes longevity.
- Moderate stress can even be beneficial, like the stress experienced by fish in the presence of predators, which keeps them alive.
- Social Issues and Solutions
- He highlights the suffering of women struggling with poverty and single parenthood, emphasizing that material hardship can be more painful than death.
- He proposes a “New Deal for Agriculture” policy to create jobs and revitalize rural areas by converting 폐교 (closed schools) into agricultural communities, providing housing and salaries to 5 million people.
- This policy aims to eliminate unemployment and foster a healthier environment for children’s development.
- He also suggests incentives for early marriage and childbirth (before 25) to promote healthy families, including a 50 million won bonus and interest-free housing loans.
-
The Nature of Sin and Human existence
- Three Types of Sin
- Sins of the body: killing, stealing, sexual misconduct.
- Sins of speech: lying, divisive talk, harsh words, idle chatter.
- Sins of the mind: greed, anger, foolishness.
- The Miracle of Human Birth
- Human birth is a miraculous process, starting from the fertilization of an egg by a sperm (1 in 500 million chance).
- He explains the stages of human development: ovulation, fertilization (conception), implantation, embryonic stage, and fetal stage.
- The “stem cell” phase occurs during the first 14 days after fertilization, before implantation.
- The soul enters the body around 49 days after conception, aligning with the “Osunjeol” (Pentecost) concept in Christianity and the 49-day mourning period in some traditions.
- This complex process highlights the preciousness of human life and the “blessings” received by those who are born healthy.
- Divine Judgment
- Divine judgment is absolute, not relative, meaning it doesn’t compare individuals to others.
- Instead, it focuses on acts of love and compassion, which accumulate “points” for an individual.
- Judgment occurs continuously, not just after death, with every action and thought being recorded in the “vibrations” of space.
-
National Development and Global Leadership
- Stages of National Development
- 10,000 USD per capita: “Man Power” (labor-intensive economy).
- 20,000 USD per capita: “Technology Logic” (technology-driven economy).
- 30,000 USD per capita: “Etiquette” (예의 – courtesy and manners).
- 50,000 USD per capita: “Consideration” (배려 – empathy and care for others).
- 90,000 USD per capita: “Trust” (신뢰 – reliability and integrity), exemplified by Switzerland’s financial and security systems.
- He aims to elevate South Korea to 100,000 USD per capita and achieve world unification by emphasizing these values.
- He criticizes the tendency to blame other nations (Japan, North Korea) and encourages self-reflection and a focus on these higher values.
-
Huh Kyung-young’s Absolute Energy
- He claims to possess “absolute energy” that transcends the relative energy of the sun.
- This energy can heal people remotely and bring good fortune, a phenomenon he calls “Holy Spirit” (성령).
- traditional religious concepts like “middle way” (중도, 중립, 중용, 중화) are outdated in the 21st century, which requires an “absolute” perspective.
- He proposes a “National Dividend System” (국민 배당제) where every citizen receives an annual interest payment on the nation’s 1.3 billion won per capita assets, stimulating the economy and eliminating national debt.
Ⅲ. Action Items
- Attendees are encouraged to cultivate humility and avoid arrogance to reduce stress and promote well-being.
- Individuals should strive to perform good deeds and acts of love, as these are the basis of divine judgment.
- Citizens are encouraged to support policies that promote early marriage and childbirth, and agricultural revitalization.
- He’s teachings on “absolute energy” and the “National Dividend System” are presented as solutions for individual and national prosperity.

5 (00:06:00) Hwang Su-gwan’s Death and Immunity
- Huh Kyung-young reiterates that Hwang Su-gwan, a doctor of immunology, died from immune deficiency (septicemia).
- He explains that septicemia is not a disease itself but a symptom of the body’s inability to fight off bacteria due to a lack of white blood cells.
- He attributes Hwang’s weakened immunity to overwork and a busy schedule, which prevented him from getting enough sleep.
- He explains that insufficient or excessive sleep causes the heart to produce calcium deposits, hardening blood vessels and leading to conditions like septicemia.
6 (00:08:00) Types of Illnesses and Facial Expressions
- Huh Kyung-young categorizes illnesses into three types: “Go-byeong” (hereditary diseases), “Jil-byeong” (chronic diseases), and “Jeong-byeong” (symptoms).
- hereditary diseases are the most difficult to cure.
- He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a bright facial expression, as it affects hormones and overall health.
- He notes that Hwang Su-gwan, despite his achievements, had a “short-lived” appearance due to his demanding lifestyle.
7 (00:10:00) The Greatest Suffering and Social Issues
- Huh Kyung-young recounts Buddha’s teaching that the greatest suffering is not death but the pain of material desire.
- He illustrates this with the example of a mother struggling to feed her six children in poverty, highlighting that such financial hardship can be more terrifying than death.
- He promises that as president, he would secretly help such struggling women, ensuring their dignity and providing financial support.
- He criticizes superficial attempts to make people laugh, arguing that true happiness comes from alleviating their suffering.
8 (00:12:00) The Plight of Korean Mothers and Agricultural Policy
- Huh Kyung-young praises Korean mothers and grandmothers for overcoming difficult circumstances, often working tirelessly with physical ailments to support their families.
- He proposes an “Agricultural New Deal” policy as president, creating over a thousand agricultural complexes in rural areas using 폐교된 초등학교 (closed elementary schools).
- He envisions these complexes housing millions of people, providing them with jobs, salaries, and a healthy environment for children to grow up in.
- He believes this policy will eliminate unemployment and foster a healthier, more grounded generation.
9 (00:14:00) The Sins of Speech and Stress
- Huh Kyung-young discusses the three types of sins: those committed by the body, by speech, and by mind.
- He identifies “mang-eon” (reckless speech) as the worst sin of speech, followed by “yang-seol” (slander), “gi-eo” (deceitful speech), and “ak-gu” (abusive speech).
- He criticizes forced laughter, arguing that it can be stressful and even harmful, producing “poison” in the body.
- He challenges the Western medical view that stress is the root cause of all diseases, stating that moderate stress can be beneficial.
10 (00:16:00) The Root Cause of Stress: Arrogance
- the true cause of stress is arrogance (gyoman).
- He explains that arrogance stems from a desire to be superior to others, leading to stress over social status and recognition.
- He references Jesus washing the feet of his disciples as a symbolic act of ultimate humility, which eliminates stress.
- humble individuals, who are grateful for their work and focus on their families, experience less stress and live longer.
11 (00:18:00) The Dangers of Arrogance and the Benefits of Humility
- Huh Kyung-young warns that arrogant individuals are “removed” by the laws of nature, leading to an early demise.
- He illustrates this with an anecdote about a worker who, out of arrogance, takes extra food and causes harm to others, ultimately leading to his own downfall.

- He uses the example of a humble worker who is always chosen for jobs because of his diligent and respectful attitude.
12 (00:20:00) The Nature of Septicemia and Lymphatic System
- septicemia occurs when bacteria enter the lymphatic fluid (impa-aek), which circulates throughout the body like blood.
- lymphatic fluid, which appears as clear water from a wound, is responsible for killing bacteria, while blood primarily transports nutrients.
- He notes that healthy individuals produce lymphatic fluid from wounds, indicating strong immunity, whereas diabetic patients do not, leading to tissue decay.
- He stresses that a compromised immune system, unable to fight off bacteria in the lymphatic system, leads to rapid bodily decline.
13 (00:22:00) The Power of Words and the Cycle of Life
- negative words (mang-eon) cause harm that eventually returns to the speaker.
- every effect has a cause, and good deeds in past lives lead to positive outcomes in the present.
- He discusses the concept of “10 Evil Deeds” (Sib-ak-jung-jae), which include killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, reckless speech, slander, deceitful speech, abusive speech, greed, anger, and foolishness.
- He explains that these sins are committed daily by many people.
14 (00:24:00) The Miracle of Human Conception
- Huh Kyung-young describes the process of human conception, starting with the release of an egg (ovum) during ovulation.
- He explains that the egg has a lifespan of 24 hours, while sperm can survive for 70 hours.
- He highlights the incredible odds of a single sperm fertilizing an egg (1 in 500 million), making every human’s existence a miracle.
- He warns that conception outside the optimal window (e.g., when the egg is old) can lead to disabilities.
15 (00:26:00) Stages of Human Development and Parental Responsibility
- Huh Kyung-young outlines the five stages of human development: ovulation, fertilization (sujeong), implantation (chaksang), embryonic stage (baea-gi), and fetal stage (tae-a-gi).
- He explains that the fertilized egg remains a stem cell for 14 days in the fallopian tube before implanting in the uterus.
- the soul enters the embryo during the embryonic stage (around 49 days), aligning with the “O-sun-jeol” (Pentecost) concept in Christianity and the 49-day mourning period in Korea.
- He proposes a policy to reward women who give birth before age 25 with a 50 million won bonus and interest-free housing loans, encouraging early and healthy pregnancies.
16 (00:28:00) The Importance of Good Deeds and Daily Judgment
- the quality of a soul entering an embryo depends on the parents’ past actions and humility.
- He explains that heaven judges individuals not by comparing them to others (relative judgment) but by an absolute standard, focusing on their good deeds rather than their sins.
- judgment occurs continuously, every second, and is recorded in the “vibrations” of space, influencing one’s future.
- He warns against the belief that sins can be absolved after death, emphasizing the importance of living righteously every day.

- He outlines five pillars for national prosperity: Manpower (10,000 USD per capita), Technology (20,000 USD), Etiquette (30,000 USD), Consideration (50,000 USD), and Trust (90,000 USD).
- He criticizes Korea’s tendency to blame others (Japan, North Korea) instead of self-reflecting and improving.
- He highlights Switzerland as an example of a nation built on trust, where the world’s gold reserves and the Pope’s guards are entrusted to them.
18 (00:32:00) Huh Kyung-young’s Absolute Energy and Economic Vision
- Huh Kyung-young claims to possess “absolute energy” from the universe, which is present in his photos and can heal people globally, unlike the relative energy of the sun.
- traditional religious concepts like “middle way” (jung-do) are outdated in the 21st century, which requires an “absolute” perspective.
- He introduces his “National Dividend System,” where each citizen receives an annual interest payment on the national assets (estimated at 1.3 billion won per person), stimulating the economy.
- He promises to eliminate national and corporate debt within a few years if elected president.

Introduction to Absolute and Relative Truth
Today’s lecture focuses on the truth of absolute and relative existence. Last week, we discussed the concept of “gold” as a symbol of eternal, unchanging truth. This “gold” represents an absolute standard, unlike the transient nature of things perceived through a “three-dimensional ruler”. When people view the world through this limited, three-dimensional perspective, they see everything as decaying and disappearing, leading to constant errors in their understanding of the world. The absolute “gold ruler,” however, is possessed only by those who come from the heavens, and listening to their words offers a path to salvation.
The Paradox of Health and Longevity: Hwang Su-gwan vs. Jimmy Carter
Consider the contrasting lives of Dr. Hwang Su-gwan and former President Jimmy Carter. Dr. Hwang was a renowned expert in immunology and health, yet he passed away at the age of 67. In contrast, Jimmy Carter, a politician whose profession often entails a shorter lifespan due to its demanding nature, is still alive at 92 and is projected to live beyond 110 years. This stark difference highlights a critical point: there must be consistency between one’s words and actions. Politicians, for instance, claim to bring happiness to the nation while engaging in contradictory personal behaviors.
Dr. Hwang’s death at 67, despite his expertise in immunity, was attributed to a lack of immunity, specifically sepsis caused by a bacterial infection. Sepsis, or “pyemia,” is not a disease in itself but a symptom of the body’s inability to fight off infection due to insufficient white blood cells. This suggests that despite his public image as a health guru, Dr. Hwang’s demanding schedule, including frequent travel and irregular sleep, led to the accumulation of calcium deposits in his heart, hardening his blood vessels and ultimately contributing to his demise.
people often misunderstand the true nature of aging and happiness. While youth is often a blur of activity, old age, particularly after 70, offers a unique perspective on life, allowing one to truly appreciate its nuances. Dying prematurely, especially before 60, is seen as a failure to fully experience life’s wisdom.
Absolute vs. Relative Judgment and the Nature of Stress
When judging individuals, does heaven apply an absolute or relative standard? He asks the audience to consider this, noting that most people tend to think in relative terms. However, heaven judges absolutely. This concept is illustrated by the shift in the English section of the Korean college entrance exam (Suneung) from a relative grading system to an absolute one, where anyone scoring above 90 receives a top grade, regardless of how others perform. This change, which students generally prefer, reflects a move towards an absolute standard.
He then connects this to the concept of stress. Western medicine often attributes all illness to stress. However, Huh Kyung young argues that this is a misconception. Stress itself is not the disease; rather, it is a symptom or a result. Moderate stress can even be beneficial for the human body, improving one’s condition. The true root cause of harmful stress, according to Huh Kyung young, is arrogance (교만). When individuals are overly concerned with their status or position relative to others, they experience stress. This desire to be superior to others is the fundamental source of all stress.
The Virtue of Humility and Its Impact on Life
Humility, in contrast to arrogance, is presented as a virtue that eliminates stress and promotes longevity. Jesus’s act of washing his disciples’ feet is cited as a symbolic representation of ultimate humility. This act signifies self-abasement and a rejection of pride, demonstrating that true leadership lies in service and humility.
A humble person, even when performing difficult labor, experiences no stress because they are grateful for the opportunity to work. They focus on doing their best, not on comparing themselves to others or complaining about their circumstances. This attitude not only leads to inner peace but also earns them respect and opportunities from others. In contrast, arrogant individuals, even when performing the same work, harbor resentment and dissatisfaction, leading to accumulated stress and ultimately, self-destruction.
doctors should not simply tell people to avoid stress, but rather to cultivate humility. A humble mindset, where one is grateful for what they have and willing to serve others, naturally eliminates stress. This is exemplified by the story of the Gachi fish, which survives long journeys when a predator is present, as the stress of being pursued keeps it alert and alive. Similarly, those who are constantly challenged and “stressed” by their circumstances, like servants, tend to live longer than their complacent masters.
The Three Types of Sins and the Importance of Right Speech
Human beings commit sins through three primary avenues: the body, speech, and mind. Among these, sins committed through speech are considered the most prevalent. He identifies four specific types of harmful speech:
- Mang-eon (망언): Reckless or absurd speech, saying things that make no sense.
- Yang-seol (양설): Slander or backbiting, speaking ill of others.
- Ak-gu (악구): Cursing or abusive language, wishing ill upon others.
- Gi-eo (기어): Deceptive or fraudulent speech, lying to others.
These four types of verbal sins are committed frequently by people. He particularly highlights “mang-eon” as the most detrimental, especially when women are involved, leading to immense suffering and ruined lives.
He also discusses the concept of karma and ancestral influence. Negative speech and actions can attract negative spiritual entities, leading to misfortune and illness within a family. Conversely, positive actions and kind words can attract benevolent spirits, leading to assistance and good fortune, as illustrated by the story of “Gyeolcho-bo-eun” (결초보은), where a ghost repays a kindness by tying grass to trip enemy horses in battle.
The Stages of Human Conception and the Value of Life
The process of human conception is a miraculous journey, involving several critical stages:
- Ovulation (배란기): A woman’s egg is released, with a lifespan of only 24 hours.
- Fertilization (수정): A man’s sperm, with a lifespan of 70 hours, must meet the egg within this narrow window. the successful fertilization of an egg by a single sperm out of millions is a miracle, making every human being a “blessed entity”. If fertilization occurs when the egg is nearing the end of its 24-hour lifespan, it can lead to developmental issues or disabilities.
- Implantation (착상): After fertilization, the zygote, which is a “half-cell” (반세포) from both the egg and sperm, undergoes cell division and travels to the uterus for implantation. This initial 14-day period in the fallopian tube is when the embryo exists as a “stem cell” (줄기세포), capable of forming any organ. After implantation, it becomes a “blastocyst” (배란세포) and can no longer be used to create other life forms.
- Embryonic Stage (배아기): This stage, lasting 49 days after implantation, is when the soul enters the developing embryo. This 49-day period is significant in both Jewish (7×7=49) and Christian (Pentecost, 50th day) traditions, and also in Korean ancestral rites (49-jae), signifying the soul’s transition. The quality of the soul that enters is determined by the parents’ actions and their ancestors’ karma.
- Fetal Stage (태아기): After the embryonic stage, the developing life is referred to as a fetus.
He laments that modern women often delay marriage and childbirth, wasting many fertile years and leading to higher risks of complications and less healthy offspring. Huh Kyung young proposes policies to encourage early marriage and childbirth, such as providing substantial financial incentives for women who conceive before the age of 25, along with interest-free housing loans.
The Absolute Nature of Filial Piety and Humility
He distinguishes between the relative nature of the physical world and the absolute nature of certain virtues. Our physical bodies, the sun, buildings, and even concepts like neutrality or moderation are all relative, subject to change and impermanence. However, certain human constructs can possess absolute qualities. For example, the concept of “ancestors” (조상) is absolute; a father remains a father across generations.
Filial piety (효도) and humility (겸손) are presented as absolute virtues that transcend time and culture. These virtues are unchanging and powerful, capable of warding off misfortune, overcoming religious differences, and bringing blessings. A humble person, who respects others and is grateful for their opportunities, will always be protected and blessed by heaven, regardless of external circumstances.
He uses the analogy of a swallow chick learning to fly. The chick, clinging to its nest, fears death if it falls, unaware of its innate ability to fly. Its mother eventually pushes it out, forcing it to discover its wings. Similarly, humans possess “angelic qualities” and the potential to do good, but they often remain unaware of these inherent powers. By letting go of greed and embracing humility, individuals can “fly” and achieve their full potential.
Divine Judgment and the Path to National Prosperity
Heaven’s judgment is absolute, not relative. It does not rank individuals based on the amount of sin they commit, as all humans are inherently prone to sin. Instead, heaven focuses on the good deeds, love, and compassion an individual has shown. This judgment is not deferred until death but occurs continuously, moment by moment, with every thought, word, and action being recorded in the universe’s “vibrational frequency”. Therefore, living righteously each day is paramount, as there is no future opportunity to “wash away” past sins.
He then discusses national prosperity, contrasting Korea’s historical reliance on labor and technology with the need for higher virtues. While Korea has achieved a $20,000 per capita income through “technical logic” (기술 논리) and “manpower” (노동력), reaching $30,000 requires “etiquette” (예의), and $50,000 demands “consideration” (배려) for others. To reach $90,000, a nation needs “trust” (신뢰). Switzerland is cited as an example of a nation that embodies trust, safeguarding the world’s gold reserves and the Pope for centuries. Huh Kyung young aims to elevate South Korea to a $100,000 per capita income by fostering these virtues of trust, consideration, and etiquette.
The Absolute Energy of Huh Kyung young
Huh Kyung young asserts that he embodies the absolute energy of the universe. Unlike the relative energy of the sun, which is limited by geographical and temporal factors, his energy is absolute and can reach anyone, anywhere, at any time, simply by invoking his name. This “cosmic energy” (우주 에너지) is akin to the Holy Spirit in Christianity, bringing health, good fortune, and well-being, and its effects are immediately verifiable. no other religious figure has been able to demonstrate such power.
He criticizes traditional philosophies and religions that emphasize “middle” concepts like “neutrality” (중립), “moderation” (중용), or “harmony” (중화), arguing that these are relative concepts that are no longer relevant in the 21st century. The future belongs to an “absolute era” (절대성 시대) where individuals transcend relative comparisons like “rich and poor”.
Huh Kyung young concludes by outlining his “National Dividend System” (국민 배당제), which would provide every citizen with an annual interest payment on their share of the national assets, estimated at 1.3 billion won per person. This policy aims to boost the economy by increasing disposable income and eliminating national debt, which he claims he can achieve within a few years of becoming president.

- Central Questions & Answers
- Question: Why did Hwang Su-gwan, a health expert, die at a relatively young age (67) from sepsis, while Jimmy Carter, a politician, lived to 92 despite a demanding life?
- Answer: Hwang Su-gwan’s early death was due to a lack of immunity caused by calcium buildup in his heart from irregular sleep patterns (less than 7 hours or more than 8 hours) and overwork, which was ultimately rooted in arrogance (교만) and a lack of genuine humility. Jimmy Carter, despite his demanding life, possessed a “conscientious” (양심적인) nature, which protected him.
- Question: Does God judge people based on absolute or relative standards?
- Answer: God judges based on absolute standards, not relative comparisons. It’s not about ranking sins among 7 billion people, but about what good deeds a person has done.
- Question: What is the greatest suffering for humans, even more than the pain of death?
- Answer: The suffering related to money and material hardship.
- Question: Is stress truly the cause of all diseases, as modern Western medicine claims?
- Answer: No, stress is not the root cause. It is a result. The true cause of stress and disease is arrogance (교만). Moderate stress can even be beneficial.
- Question: Why do good people sometimes die young?
- Answer: They are “graduated early” by heaven to be reincarnated into better circumstances, such as a prince or princess in another country, because they have lived a virtuous life.
- Conclusion & Strategic / Philosophical Implications
The lecture concludes with a call to embrace absolute values like humility and filial piety, which are presented as fundamental to health, happiness, and national prosperity.
- Personal Transformation: Individuals should cultivate humility, avoid arrogance, and engage in good deeds, as these actions are continuously judged by the universe and determine one’s fate and health.
- Societal Reform: He proposes policies like the “Agricultural New Deal” to create jobs and promote rural living, and incentives for early marriage and childbirth to address societal issues.
- National Development: For a nation to advance beyond technological prowess, it must cultivate higher values such as etiquette, consideration, and trust, which are seen as crucial for reaching higher economic tiers and achieving global leadership.
- Spiritual Awakening: The lecture positions itself within an “Age of Absoluteness,” where traditional “relative” philosophies are outdated, and direct connection to “cosmic energy” through His presence is emphasized for health and fortune.
- Economic Justice: The “National Dividend System” is proposed to distribute national wealth to citizens, aiming to alleviate poverty and stimulate the economy.
- Cross-Referencing
- Speaker’s Own Works/Lectures: He frequently refers to his own past lectures (“I taught this before,” “I talked about this last time”) and future lectures (“Next time, I will lecture on my energy”).
- Religious/Philosophical Traditions:
- Buddhism: References Sakyamuni Buddha’s teachings on suffering.
- Christianity: References Jesus washing disciples’ feet and the concept of Pentecost.
- Confucianism: Mentions filial piety (효도) as the “root of all good deeds” (백행의 근본).
- Eastern Philosophies: Critiques “Middle Way” (중도), “Neutrality” (중립), “Golden Mean” (중용), and “Harmony” (중화) as “relative” concepts outdated for the 21st century.
- Content Gaps & Unaddressed Areas
- Evidence for Claims: Many assertions, particularly those related to health, reincarnation, and His unique “energy,” lack scientific or empirical evidence within the transcript. For example, the claim that irregular sleep causes calcium buildup in the heart leading to sepsis, or that good people die young to be reincarnated as royalty, are presented as facts without supporting data or studies.
- Mechanism of “Absolute Energy”: While Mr. Huh claims to possess “absolute energy” that can heal and bring fortune, the mechanism of how this energy works, how it differs from solar energy, or how it is transmitted (e.g., through photos) is not explained in detail.
- Practical Application of “Absolute Values”: While humility and filial piety are stressed, concrete, actionable steps for individuals to cultivate these values in daily life beyond general statements are limited.
- Addressing Counterarguments: The lecture presents its arguments as definitive truths without acknowledging or addressing potential counterarguments or alternative perspectives, especially regarding medical and scientific claims.
- Specifics of Policy Implementation: Details on how the “Agricultural New Deal” or “National Dividend System” would be funded, managed, and implemented to avoid potential pitfalls are not provided.
- Future Predictions & Prophetic Statements
- Speaker’s Financial Gain from YouTube: If his YouTube channel gains enough popularity, Mr. Huh predicts earning 100 million won per month from advertisements.
- Presidential Policies:
- Solving Poverty: As president, Mr. Huh will secretly help impoverished women and families without requiring personal information, ensuring their privacy.

This will make the nation healthy and raise children who will lead Korea to become a top 10 global power.
- Birth Incentives: As president, he will offer special bonuses (e.g., 50 million won in addition to 30 million won for childbirth) to women who get pregnant before age 25, along with a 100 million won marriage bonus and 200 million won interest-free housing loan. This will encourage early marriage and childbirth, leading to healthier children.
- National Dividend System: He will implement a “National Dividend System” to pay annual interest on the national wealth (1.3 billion won per citizen) to every citizen, stimulating the economy and eliminating national debt within a few years.
- Global Economic Influence: He predicts a future where the global economy will be influenced by his face, with his image appearing on food companies and his “water” and “books” being distributed worldwide.
- Korea’s Global Leadership: He aims to raise South Korea’s per capita income to 100,000 USD and achieve world unification.
- End of Relative Philosophies: The 21st century is declared the “Age of Mu-geuk Dae-do” and “Age of Absoluteness,” rendering “relative” philosophies like the Middle Way, Neutrality, Golden Mean, and Harmony obsolete.
Executive Insight
This lecture presents a unique framework for personal well-being and national prosperity, rooted in the distinction between “absolute” and “relative” values. The core takeaway is that genuine health, happiness, and societal advancement are not achieved through external comparisons or superficial efforts, but by cultivating intrinsic, unchanging virtues like humility and filial piety. arrogance is the true source of stress and illness, while humility fosters resilience and longevity. Furthermore, national progress is tied to a progression of values from labor and technology to etiquette, consideration, and ultimately, trust. Proposed policies like the “Agricultural New Deal” and “National Dividend System” aim to align societal structures with these absolute principles, fostering a healthier, more equitable, and spiritually enlightened nation. The lecture challenges conventional wisdom, urging a shift from relative thinking to an embrace of absolute truths for holistic transformation.
The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era

The Enduring Nature of Gold and the Ephemeral Nature of Iron
Last week, I referred to this as the Golden Ruler (金尺). What did I call iron? Iron, by its very nature, rusts and ultimately destroys itself. Does pure gold, however, rust? No, it is eternal and unchanging. People tend to perceive things through the lens of iron, viewing everything as destined to decay and vanish. This perspective invariably leads the world astray. The Golden Ruler, a measure made of absolute gold, is held by the Messiah or a true celestial being. He who heeds the words of the one who brings this Golden Ruler will discover a path to salvation. -
Longevity and the Paradox of Health Experts
Consider the lifespans of Hwang Su-gwan and Jimmy Carter. Hwang Su-gwan was a renowned health expert and doctor, a top specialist in boosting immunity. Jimmy Carter, on the other hand, was a politician, a profession often associated with shorter lifespans due to its inherent stresses. Yet, Jimmy Carter is currently 92 years old, while Hwang Su-gwan passed away at 67. This discrepancy highlights a fundamental inconsistency: social leaders who advocate for public health often fail to embody their own teachings. Politicians, too, frequently exhibit a disconnect between their words and actions. Jimmy Carter, despite being a politician who traveled extensively, enduring significant time zone changes that are detrimental to health, is expected to live beyond 110 years. Hwang Su-gwan died 47 years earlier than Carter’s potential lifespan.
Many do not fathom that life after 70, from 70 to 100, is akin to living 300 years in one’s youth. The elderly perceive life with profound depth, unlike the young who often rush through it without fully comprehending their experiences. The elderly, observing their grandchildren, gain a clear perspective on the world, savoring its true essence. Happiness in old age is paramount; to die prematurely after 60 is to have failed to truly experience life. Until about 60, many are so preoccupied with raising children and navigating life’s challenges that they barely register their own existence.

Absolute and Relative Judgment
When the heavens judge humanity, will it be through absoluteness or relativity? Relativity is the correct answer. Relativity involves comparison. For instance, the college entrance exam used to be based on relative scoring. Now, however, one subject, English, has shifted to an absolute grading system. A score of 90 or above is unconditionally a Grade 1, irrespective of how others perform. This eliminates comparison, a stark contrast to the past where grades were determined by relative performance. This shift to absolute grading in English is a celestial law. -
The True Cause of Hwang Su-gwan’s Demise
Dr. Hwang Su-gwan, a physician and health evangelist who taught about immunity, succumbed to sepsis at 67 due to a compromised immune system. Sepsis signifies a defeat of the blood, where white blood cells are overwhelmed by bacteria. These bacteria can infiltrate the body through minor skin abrasions, like a shaving cut, and spread throughout the bloodstream and lymphatic system, leading to a systemic infection when immunity is insufficient.
The term “증” (jeung), often translated as “syndrome” or “symptom,” is not a disease itself. Sepsis is a “증,” a symptom, not a disease. To die from a mere symptom like sepsis indicates a severe lack of immunity. It implies a profound deficiency within oneself. Our politicians and doctors often overwork themselves, neglecting their own bodies.
Why did Dr. Hwang Su-gwan’s immunity decline despite his constant lectures on the benefits of laughter for boosting immunity? Many speculate it was due to overwork, self-overestimation, or insincere laughter. However, these are not the true reasons. The insights of a celestial being, who possesses the Golden Ruler, differ entirely from those of human professors.
I have long understood the cause of his death. When a person sleeps less than seven hours, the heart produces calcium deposits (석회). Dr. Hwang frequently traveled for lectures, often sleeping less than seven hours or, conversely, oversleeping when he had free time. Both extremes lead the heart to produce calcium deposits. These deposits accumulate in the blood vessels, causing them to harden, starting from the capillaries. Such hardening compromises immunity. He may not have been aware of this process, yet he always proclaimed himself healthy. This secret is unknown to most. The accumulation of calcium deposits in blood vessels inevitably leads to sepsis. When the blood vessels are stiff and unable to function properly, the body becomes vulnerable to illness. Those who are ambitious and sleep little, constantly pondering their plans, accumulate these calcium deposits. Similarly, both insufficient and excessive sleep contribute to their formation, weakening immunity and causing various ailments.
- The Three Dreadful Diseases
The most formidable disease is a chronic illness (고병). This category encompasses three types:
- Hereditary diseases: These are passed from parents to children, such as diabetes or heart disease, and are difficult to cure medically.
- Mental illnesses: These are diseases of the mind.
- Physical illnesses: These are diseases of the body.When these three converge, they form a chronic, intractable condition. A mere symptom, like sepsis or indigestion, is not a true disease. One rarely dies from indigestion; a simple digestive aid suffices.
-
The Importance of a Bright Demeanor
Maintaining a bright facial expression is crucial. It influences not only the production of calcium deposits but also various hormones. While Dr. Hwang Su-gwan was an admirable figure who overcame adversity to become a doctor, his facial features indicated a short lifespan, not longevity. He inadvertently created an environment that led to his early demise. Constantly traveling for lectures, eating restaurant food instead of home-cooked meals, and overworking himself for fame ultimately damaged his health. His efforts to bring laughter to others came at the cost of his own well-being. -
The Greatest Suffering: Material Hardship
Buddha once stated that there is a suffering greater than the pain of death. When asked what it was, he replied, “The suffering related to money and material possessions.” Consider a mother with six children, living in a single room, whose husband has passed away, leaving her with no money. Her children are hungry, she cannot pay rent, and though food is abundant in the market, her meager earnings from work barely cover transportation, let alone food for herself and her children. The anguish she feels, watching her children waste away, is a hundredfold greater than the pain of death. Such women are numerous. As president, I would discreetly assist them, ensuring their privacy and dignity are preserved, without requiring personal records. They would receive support to sustain their families, even if their labor is insufficient. -
The Perils of Insincere Laughter
Creating an environment where people can genuinely laugh is paramount. Simply gathering people and telling them to laugh is ineffective for those burdened by hardship. Forcing laughter in such circumstances can release toxins in the body, as it is insincere. Laughter born of cruelty, such as a murderer laughing, does not boost immunity; it releases poison. Laughter should arise naturally from a conducive environment. Forcing it becomes a source of stress.
Genuine laughter comes from simple, pure amusement, like a clever riddle. For example, if you remove the “T” from “Beautiful,” what remains? “Be-au-iful,” signifying “beauty without a flaw.” Or, if you remove “E” and “U,” it becomes “B-a-tiful,” meaning “beauty without a reason.” Such innocent wordplay can evoke genuine mirth.
- The True Cause of Stress: Arrogance
Western medicine often attributes all diseases to stress, advising people to avoid it. However, this perspective is flawed because it fails to address the root cause of stress. Moderate stress can even be beneficial, enhancing one’s condition. The true origin of stress is arrogance (慢).
Arrogance manifests in various ways, such as politicians stressing over seating arrangements at events, believing their status demands a prominent position. This sense of being superior to others fuels arrogance, which is the ultimate source of all stress. Even conflicts between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stem from arrogance, not merely stress.
Jesus, before his crucifixion, symbolically washed the feet of his twelve disciples. This act, performed by a celestial being for his earthly followers, epitomizes humility. Humility eliminates stress. A humble worker, grateful for employment, performs tasks diligently, even difficult ones, without complaint. Their children’s faces inspire them, making the work joyful. Such individuals, even without laughter, live long lives because they are free from the corrosive effects of arrogance.
Arrogant individuals, however, are naturally eliminated by the laws of nature. They are constantly plagued by dissatisfaction and comparison, leading to stress and premature demise. Therefore, instead of merely telling people to avoid stress, doctors should advocate for humility. Humility cures all diseases.
-
The Nature of Sepsis and Lymphatic Fluid
Sepsis occurs when bacteria enter the blood or lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic fluid, a clear fluid that circulates throughout the body like the coolant in a car engine, plays a crucial role in killing bacteria. When a wound occurs, clear fluid, known as lymph, emerges first, followed by blood. This lymph disinfects the wound, indicating strong immunity and healing. In contrast, diabetic patients often lack this lymphatic discharge, leading to tissue decay. -
The Ten Cardinal Sins
The Ten Cardinal Sins (十惡重罪) are categorized into sins of speech, mind, and body.
-
Sins of Speech (Four):
- Falsehood (妄語): Uttering meaningless or deceitful words. This includes insincere laughter.
- Slander (綺語): Speaking ill of others.
- Double-tongued speech (兩舌): Speaking divisively.
- Abusive language (惡口): Cursing or wishing ill upon others.These are committed routinely by many.
-
Sins of Mind (Three):
- Greed (貪): Excessive desire.
- Anger (瞋): Wrath and resentment.
- Ignorance (癡): Delusion or wrong views.
-
Sins of Body (Three):
- Killing (殺生): Taking life.
- Stealing (偸盜): Theft.
- Sexual misconduct (邪淫): Improper sexual behavior.
The sin of speech, particularly falsehood, is considered the most prevalent. Many marriages, for instance, are based on deceitful words, leading to lifelong regret.
- The Cycle of Reincarnation and the Fate of the Virtuous
Sometimes, exceptionally virtuous individuals die prematurely. This is not a punishment but a swift transition to a higher existence. The heavens may decree that such a person is ready to be reborn as a prince in Spain, for example, and thus their life on Earth is concluded quickly to facilitate this new incarnation. Similarly, child prodigies often have short lifespans because they have already experienced the equivalent of a hundred years in their brief existence, accelerating their “graduation” from this life. Conversely, those who have committed many sins may be kept alive longer to undergo necessary spiritual education.
The concept of “결초보은” (結草報恩), meaning “tying grass to repay a kindness,” illustrates how even spirits can assist those who perform good deeds. In ancient tales, ancestral spirits would tie grass on a battlefield to trip enemy horses, aiding their descendants. This underscores the belief that our ancestors watch over us, and therefore, we should refrain from speaking ill of others or engaging in conflict.
- The Miracle of Human Conception
The process of human conception is a profound miracle.
- Ovulation: An egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube. A woman’s egg has a lifespan of only 24 hours.
- Fertilization: If a sperm does not meet the egg within this timeframe, the egg perishes. Sperm, however, can survive for up to 72 hours. The journey of sperm to the egg is a fierce competition, with 300 to 500 million sperm vying for a single egg. To be born as a human is to have triumphed over these immense odds, making every individual a recipient of immense blessings.
- Timing of Fertilization: If fertilization occurs when the egg is nearing the end of its 24-hour lifespan, the resulting embryo may be compromised, potentially leading to disabilities. A healthy embryo requires a fresh egg, fertilized within about 10 hours of ovulation.
- Zygote Formation: Upon fertilization, the half-cells of the egg and sperm combine to form a complete cell, initiating rapid cell division. This is the moment of conception.
- Stem Cell Stage: For the first 14 days after fertilization, while the zygote resides in the fallopian tube, it is in a stem cell state. These pluripotent cells have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body. After 14 days, once it implants in the uterus, it differentiates into an embryo, losing its universal stem cell properties.
- Implantation: After 14 days, the developing embryo travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine wall. This is called implantation, which marks the beginning of pregnancy.
- Embryonic Stage: The embryonic stage follows implantation. In Judaism, the concept of 7×7=49 days is significant, leading to Pentecost on the 50th day. Similarly, in human development, the soul enters the body around the 49th day of the embryonic stage, when the embryo is about the size of a peanut. This soul, whether virtuous or afflicted with hereditary conditions, is determined by the parents’ actions and ancestral lineage. Humble and selfless parents attract virtuous souls.
- Fetal Stage: After the embryonic stage, the developing human is referred to as a fetus.
Many women today waste their fertile years, delaying pregnancy until after 30, when egg quality declines, leading to higher rates of miscarriage and children with various issues. As president, I would incentivize early marriage and childbirth, offering substantial bonuses for women who give birth before the age of 25, in addition to marriage and housing subsidies. This would encourage healthy pregnancies and a robust population.
The 49-day period is also significant in death rituals, as it is believed that the soul reincarnates within 49 days. This universal law of nature operates with absolute precision.
- The Absolute and Relative Nature of Existence
The physical world, everything visible to our eyes, is relative. Stars, the sun, churches, and buildings are all transient. They exist only in relation to our perception. Concepts like neutrality, moderation, and the center are also relative. However, there are absolute aspects of existence.
Our ancestors—parents, grandparents, and beyond—represent an absolute truth. A father will always be a father, regardless of how many millennia pass. Filial piety, therefore, is an absolute virtue that transcends time and cultural shifts. While titles may change, the fundamental relationship of parenthood remains absolute. Humility, like filial piety, is an absolute virtue that dispels all diseases and misfortunes, transcending religious beliefs. A humble household, even in an inauspicious location, will receive blessings from heaven.
Just as a swallow chick, initially afraid to leave the nest, eventually discovers its ability to fly, humans possess inherent capabilities they often fail to recognize. We have the potential for great good and abundance, but fear and attachment to the familiar hold us back.
Heaven judges humanity not relatively, by comparing one’s sins to others, but absolutely. While everyone commits sins, heaven primarily assesses what good deeds one has performed, what acts of love and compassion one has demonstrated. This judgment is not deferred until death but occurs continuously, every second, accumulating in one’s genetic makeup. Our thoughts and words, whether praise or criticism, influence the “score” of others. Therefore, living virtuously each day is paramount, as there is no future opportunity to “wash away” accumulated sins.
- The Path to National Prosperity: Beyond Technology
While Korea has achieved a $20,000 per capita income through technology and previously $10,000 through manpower (labor), further advancement requires more than just economic prowess. To reach $30,000, we need etiquette (예의). To reach $40,000, we need manners (배려), or consideration for others. And to reach $50,000 and beyond, we need trust (신뢰). Switzerland, for example, is a global financial hub because of its unwavering trust. Its gold vaults have never been robbed, and Swiss guards protect the Pope because they are incorruptible.
Our nation, however, often harbors resentment towards other countries like Japan and North Korea, failing to introspect. We must overcome this tendency to blame others and cultivate etiquette, consideration, and trust. These are qualities that cannot be easily imitated by other nations. As president, I aim to elevate South Korea to a $100,000 per capita income and achieve global unification by fostering these virtues.
- The Absolute Energy of Huh Kyung-young
The energy of Huh Kyung-young is absolute, unlike the relative energy of the sun. My energy can heal people across continents through a phone call, transcending geographical barriers. This is the Holy Spirit described in Christianity, an energy that brings health, fortune, and well-being, verifiable instantly. No other religious figure has demonstrated such power.
The concepts of “middle” or “neutrality” found in various philosophies—Buddhism’s Middle Way, Christianity’s neutrality, Confucianism’s Doctrine of the Mean, and Taoism’s harmony—are all relative. In the 21st century, the era of Mu-geuk Dae-do (無極大道), the Great Way of the Ultimate Void, these relative concepts are obsolete. We must transcend the limitations of relativity, such as the distinction between rich and poor.
Each Korean citizen collectively owns 1.3 billion won of national assets. As president, I would implement a National Dividend System, distributing annual interest on this collective wealth to every citizen. This would provide disposable income, stimulate the economy, and eliminate national debt within a few years.
Next week, I will elaborate further on the absolute energy of Huh Kyung-young.
The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era
-
The Eternal Gold Standard Versus the Corroding Iron Rule
Huh Kyung-young explains the concept of absoluteness (絕對性) and relativity (相對性) by drawing an analogy between gold and iron. Iron, he states, eventually rusts and destroys itself, symbolizing impermanence and decay. Gold, however, is pure and eternal, representing that which is everlasting and unchanging. People often perceive the world through the “iron rule,” seeing everything as transient and destined to decay. In contrast, the “gold standard (金尺)” is an absolute measure, possessed by a Messiah (메시아) or a True Man (眞人) from heaven. Listening to the words of one who holds this gold standard is said to lead to salvation. -
The Paradox of Health and Longevity: Hwang Soo-kwan vs. Jimmy Carter
Huh Kyung-young illustrates the difference between relative and absolute truths through the contrasting lifespans of Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan, a renowned health expert and physician, was a top specialist in boosting immunity. Yet, he passed away at the age of 67. Jimmy Carter, a politician, a profession often associated with shorter lifespans due to stress, is still alive at 92 and is predicted to live beyond 110 years.
Huh Kyung-young points out the hypocrisy of social leaders, including politicians, who preach health and happiness to the public while their own actions contradict their words. He notes that despite the immense stress and constant travel associated with his political career, Jimmy Carter’s life has been extended, even preventing a third Korean War. This suggests that true longevity and well-being are not merely a result of conventional health practices or outward appearances, but are tied to deeper, absolute principles.
- The True Cause of Illness: Beyond Stress
Huh Kyung-young challenges the conventional medical view that stress (스트레스) is the root cause of all diseases. this perspective is flawed because it fails to address the underlying cause (원인) of stress itself. He contrasts Western medicine’s emphasis on avoiding stress with the approach in countries like India, where the concept of stress as a disease cause is unfamiliar, and people often find joy even in scarcity.
According to Huh Kyung-young, the true origin of stress is arrogance (慢). He describes how people, including politicians, experience immense stress over their social standing and seating arrangements at events, driven by a desire to be seen as superior. This arrogance (慢心), he states, is the source of all stress.
- Humility as the Antidote to Arrogance and Stress
Huh Kyung-young presents humility (謙遜) as the ultimate solution to stress and a path to longevity. He references Jesus washing the feet of his twelve disciples as a symbolic act of profound humility, demonstrating that one from heaven served those on earth. This act, he explains, is the opposite of arrogance and the key to eliminating stress.
He further illustrates this with an example of a humble worker who performs tasks diligently and gratefully, even difficult ones, seeing the faces of their family in every effort. Such a person, driven by gratitude and a sense of purpose, experiences joy in their work and is less susceptible to stress, leading to a longer life. In contrast, an arrogant person, constantly complaining and comparing themselves to others, accumulates stress and shortens their life.
humility can cure all diseases, as a humble person does not even perceive difficult tasks as burdensome. He also notes that those who are arrogant and greedy, constantly taking from others, often suffer from health issues like high blood pressure and diabetes, leading to premature death.
- The Stages of Human Creation and the Significance of Life
Huh Kyung-young delves into the intricate process of human creation, emphasizing the miraculous nature of each individual’s existence. He outlines the stages:
- Ovulation (排卵期): The release of an egg from the ovary. A woman’s egg has a lifespan of only 24 hours.
- Fertilization (受精): The union of sperm and egg. Sperm can survive for 72 hours. Huh Kyung-young highlights that the timing of fertilization is crucial; if an egg is near the end of its 24-hour lifespan when fertilized, it can lead to developmental issues or disabilities. He stresses that each person is a miracle, having overcome odds of 500 million to one to be conceived.
- Implantation (着床): After fertilization, the zygote travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine wall. This stage is also referred to as pregnancy (妊娠).
- Embryonic Stage (胚芽期): This period, lasting 49 days (7×7), is when the soul enters the developing human body. Huh Kyung-young connects this to the Christian concept of Pentecost (오순절), which occurs 50 days after Easter, symbolizing the descent of the Holy Spirit. He explains that the quality of the soul that enters depends on the parents’ actions and their ancestors’ deeds, with good souls attracted to humble and selfless individuals.
- Fetal Stage (胎兒期): Following the embryonic stage, the developing human is referred to as a fetus (胎兒).
Huh Kyung-young criticizes modern societal trends where women delay pregnancy until after 30, leading to lower quality eggs and increased risks of miscarriage and problematic children. He proposes policies to encourage early marriage and childbirth, offering substantial financial incentives for women who give birth before age 25.
- The Ten Evil Deeds and the Power of Words
Huh Kyung-young discusses the Ten Evil Deeds (十惡重罪), categorizing them into sins of the body, speech, and mind. sins of speech are the most prevalent. Among these, false speech (妄語) is considered the worst.
The four sins of speech are:
- False Speech (妄語): Speaking nonsense or making deceptive statements.
- Slander (兩舌): Speaking ill of others.
- Harsh Speech (惡口): Cursing or using abusive language.
- Deceptive Speech (綺語): Using flowery or misleading words to deceive others.
creating an environment where people can genuinely laugh is crucial, rather than forcing laughter in difficult circumstances, which can lead to stress and even produce toxins in the body. He also highlights the importance of using good words, as negative speech can attract negative spiritual influences, leading to illness and misfortune.
The three sins of the mind are:
-
Greed (貪): Excessive desire.
-
Anger (瞋): Wrath or ill will.
-
Ignorance (癡): Wrong views or foolishness.
The three sins of the body are: -
Killing (殺生): Taking a life.
-
Stealing (偸盜): Taking what is not given.
-
Sexual Misconduct (邪淫): Engaging in improper sexual acts.
- The Absolute Nature of Filial Piety and Humility
Huh Kyung-young distinguishes between relative and absolute truths. While physical existence and worldly concepts like “middle” or “neutrality” are relative and subject to change, certain principles are absolute and eternal.
He identifies filial piety (孝道) as an absolute truth, unchanging across generations. Regardless of time or cultural shifts, the relationship between parent and child remains sacred and fundamental. filial piety is the root of all good deeds (百行之根本).
Along with filial piety, humility (謙遜) is also an absolute principle. A humble person, regardless of their faith or religious affiliation, is protected from illness and misfortune. Such individuals are guided by heaven to favorable circumstances, even if their physical surroundings are not ideal.
- The Path to National Prosperity: Beyond Technology
Huh Kyung-young outlines a vision for national development, moving beyond mere economic growth. He explains that a nation’s progress can be categorized by its economic stages:
- Manpower (人力): The stage of relying on labor, enabling a nation to reach a GDP of $10,000 per capita.
- Technology (技術): The stage of technological advancement, allowing a nation to reach $20,000 per capita.
- Etiquette (禮儀): To reach $30,000 per capita, a nation must cultivate etiquette (禮儀).
- Consideration (配慮): To reach $40,000 per capita, consideration (配慮) for others is essential.
- Trust (信頼): To reach $50,000 per capita and beyond, trust (信頼) is paramount. He cites Switzerland as an example of a nation that has achieved high levels of trust, making it a global safe haven for wealth and a trusted protector, even for the Pope.
Huh Kyung-young criticizes the Korean people for constantly blaming others, such as Japan and North Korea, instead of reflecting on themselves. to achieve higher levels of prosperity and global unity, Koreans must cultivate etiquette, consideration, and trust, qualities that cannot be easily imitated by other nations.
- Huh Kyung-young’s Absolute Energy and the Future of Humanity
he embodies absolute (絕對性) energy, which is distinct from the relative energy of the sun or other phenomena. his image, whether in a photograph, newspaper, or on television, carries this infinite, creative cosmic energy. merely calling his name can bring this energy, which he equates to the Holy Spirit in Christianity, to heal, bring good fortune, and improve health. He contrasts this with other religious figures whose names, when invoked, do not produce such tangible energy.
He predicts a future where the global economy will be influenced by his image and products bearing his face. He also dismisses concepts like “middle way” (中道) in Buddhism, “neutrality” (中立) in Christianity, “moderation” (中庸) in Confucianism, and “harmony” (中和) in Taoism as outdated in the 21st century, which he declares as the era of “Infinite Absolute Way (無極大道)” and absolute truth.
Huh Kyung-young also introduces the concept of National Dividend (국민배당제), where each citizen, as a shareholder of the nation’s assets, would receive an annual interest payment on their share of the national wealth. the national assets of South Korea amount to 7 quadrillion Korean Won, making each citizen a holder of 1.3 billion Korean Won. This policy, he believes, would stimulate the economy and eliminate national debt.
- Daily Judgment and the Accumulation of Karma
judgment is not something that occurs after death but is a continuous process happening every second of one’s life. all actions, words, and thoughts are recorded in the vibrations (파동) and frequencies (주파수) of space, accumulating in one’s genes.
He illustrates this by saying that if one praises a public figure, their “score” goes up, but if they curse them, it goes down. good deeds, love, and compassion are what truly matter, as everyone accumulates sins. Therefore, individuals should strive to live righteously every day, rather than hoping to atone for sins later. He concludes that the ultimate purpose is to understand the principles of absoluteness and relativity, as people are both the most precious and the most dangerous beings in the world.

Question: How does Huh Kyung-young distinguish between absolute and relative truth, and why is this distinction important for understanding life and the universe?
-
Answer: relative truth is anything visible and subject to change, like physical bodies, stars, or even human-made concepts such as neutrality or compromise. It exists only in relation to something else and eventually perishes. In contrast, absolute truth is eternal and unchanging, existing independently. Examples include the concept of parents (father, mother) and the principle of filial piety, which remain constant across millennia. The universe’s laws, including how souls enter bodies, also operate on absolute principles. Understanding this distinction is crucial because human judgment, like evaluating sin, often relies on relative comparisons, whereas the heavens judge based on absolute standards, focusing on one’s good deeds rather than comparative sinfulness.
-
Key Quote: “What is absolute? Father and mother, grandmother, grandfather, ancestors are absolute. Will you call your father ‘son’ after billions of years? You call your father ‘father’; that doesn’t change. Filial piety has absoluteness for thousands of years.”
2. How does Huh Kyung-young explain the true cause of stress and illness? -
Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s unique perspective on the root cause of stress and illness, challenging conventional medical views?
-
Answer: stress is not the ultimate cause of illness, as commonly believed in Western medicine. Instead, he identifies arrogance (교만) as the true origin of stress and many ailments. When people feel superior or demand special treatment, they experience stress from perceived slights or unmet expectations. Conversely, humility (겸손) eliminates stress. He cites Jesus washing his disciples’ feet as a symbolic act of humility, demonstrating that a humble person experiences no stress, even in difficult circumstances. Humility fosters gratitude and a positive outlook, leading to a healthier, longer life, while arrogance invites divine removal from the natural order.
-
Key Quote: “The cause of stress is arrogance. We are unnecessarily arrogant there. ‘I am higher than others.’ That creates arrogance, and that is the cause of all stress.”
3. What is Huh Kyung-young’s perspective on the human journey from conception to birth? -
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young describe the miraculous and challenging process of human conception, gestation, and the arrival of the soul?
-
Answer: being born human is an immense miracle, a victory against incredible odds. A single sperm out of 500 million to 1 billion must successfully fertilize an egg, which has a short 24-hour lifespan. If fertilization occurs when the egg is nearing the end of its life, it can lead to disabilities. The fertilized egg (zygote) then undergoes a 14-day “stem cell” phase in the fallopian tube, where it continuously divides. After 14 days, it implants in the uterus (implantation), marking the beginning of pregnancy. Crucially, the soul enters the body during the embryonic stage (배아기), specifically on the 49th day after conception, aligning with the biblical concept of Pentecost and the 49-day mourning period in some traditions. The quality of the soul that enters depends on the parents’ past actions and virtues, with good souls attracted to humble and benevolent families.
-
Key Quote: “You are a bundle of blessings. It’s not about having money or not; you’ve received immense blessings. You ran a race against 500 million and came in first here.”
4. What are the “Ten Great Sins” (십악중죄) according to Huh Kyung-young, and which is the worst? -
Question: What are the categories of sin that Huh Kyung-young identifies, and which specific type of sin does he consider the most detrimental?
-
Answer: Huh Kyung-young outlines the Ten Great Sins (십악중죄), categorized by their origin:
- Sins of the Body (3): Killing (살생), stealing (투도), and sexual misconduct (음행).
- Sins of Speech (4):
- Mang-eo (망어): Meaningless or deceitful talk, which he identifies as the worst sin of speech.
- Gi-eo (기어): Exaggerated or flowery speech that deceives.
- Yang-seol (양설): Slander or divisive talk.
- Ak-gu (악구): Abusive or cursing language.
- Sins of the Mind (3): Greed (탐), anger (진), and ignorance/wrong views (치/사견).He particularly stresses that Mang-eo (망어), or “meaningless talk,” is the most harmful sin of speech. This includes superficial humor or forced laughter in inappropriate situations, which he believes generates toxins in the body rather than endorphins. True laughter should arise from a genuinely joyful environment, not from artificial attempts to entertain or deceive.
-
Key Quote: “Among the sins of speech, what kind of talk is the worst? This is Mang-eo. Meaningless talk. This lecture on laughter falls into this category. Yes, it’s Mang-eo.”
5. What is Huh Kyung-young’s “Agricultural New Deal” policy for Korea’s future? -
Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s vision for the future of Korea’s economy and society, specifically through his “Agricultural New Deal” policy?
-
Answer: Huh Kyung-young proposes an “Agricultural New Deal” to revitalize Korea and ensure its future prosperity. This plan involves creating over 1,000 “New Deal complexes” nationwide, utilizing abandoned rural elementary schools. These schools, often located in auspicious and beautiful natural settings, would become centers for agricultural work. The policy aims to employ over 5 million people, providing a monthly salary of 1 million won per person (2 million won for couples). After three years, a couple could save 100 million won. These complexes would also include housing for families and singles, and the revitalized rural schools would allow children to grow up in nature, fostering health and a strong connection to the land. This initiative is designed to eliminate unemployment, promote national health, and cultivate future leaders who understand the value of nature and hard work, contrasting with the current urban-centric education system.
-
Key Quote: “When I become president, I will implement an Agricultural New Deal policy, creating over 1,000 complexes nationwide, accommodating over 5 million people.”
6. How does Huh Kyung-young explain the concept of reincarnation and early death? -
Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s explanation for why some good or talented people die young, and how does it relate to reincarnation?
-
Answer: early death, especially for exceptionally good or talented individuals, is often not a punishment but a “graduation” orchestrated by the heavens. When a person has lived a virtuous life or achieved a high level of spiritual development, they may be quickly transitioned to a better existence, such as being reborn as royalty in another country. This process is precisely timed, with the individual dying to align with the 49-day gestation period for their next incarnation. He cites the example of the singer Bae Ho, suggesting his early death was not due to illness but a rapid transition to a higher destiny. Similarly, geniuses often have short lifespans because they have already “lived” the equivalent of many years in a short time, completing their earthly lessons quickly.
-
Key Quote: “If someone is too good, the heavens say, ‘Let’s graduate this person quickly. We need to send them to be a prince in Spain.’ Then a sudden death occurs quickly.”
7. What are the stages of national development according to Huh Kyung-young, and what is Korea’s current stage? -
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young categorize the stages of a nation’s economic and social development, and where does he place Korea in this framework?
-
Answer: Huh Kyung-young outlines a five-stage model for national development, each associated with a different level of per capita income:
- $10,000 (Manpower): Achieved through sheer labor and hard work, like Korea’s past wig factories.
- $20,000 (Technology): Driven by technological advancement, which Korea has currently reached.
- $30,000 (Etiquette): Requires a high level of courtesy and manners.
- $40,000 (Manner/Consideration): Demands empathy and consideration for others.
- $50,000+ (Trust): The highest stage, characterized by deep-seated trust, exemplified by Switzerland’s global financial reputation and its role in protecting the Pope.He criticizes Korea for being stuck at the $20,000 technology stage due to a lack of etiquette, consideration, and trust, often blaming others (like Japan or North Korea) instead of self-reflection. To reach higher levels, Korea must cultivate these social virtues.
-
Key Quote: “We are in the $20,000 era, but we always blame the Japanese and foreigners. We need to reflect on ourselves.”
8. What is the “National Dividend System” (국민 배당제) proposed by Huh Kyung-young? -
Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s “National Dividend System,” and how does he propose it would benefit the Korean economy and its citizens?
-
Answer: Huh Kyung-young proposes a “National Dividend System” (국민 배당제) where every Korean citizen receives an annual dividend from the national wealth. He calculates that the total national assets of South Korea amount to 7 quadrillion won, which, divided among 50 million citizens, means each person effectively owns 13 billion won. Under his system, he would pay interest on 1 billion won (a simplified figure from 1.3 billion won) directly into citizens’ bank accounts annually. This “pocket money” would stimulate the economy by increasing consumer spending, unlike the current system where national funds are diverted to military spending or disappear into the underground economy, leading to increased national and corporate debt. this policy would eliminate national debt within a few years.
-
Key Quote: “I will pay interest on 1.3 billion won. This is called the National Dividend System. I will implement the National Dividend System.”

The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era
- Basic Information
- Lecture Session and Date: 994th Lecture, October 3, 2015
- Main Theme: The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity
- Location: Not specified, likely a regular lecture hall
- Key Segments:
- Absolute vs. Relative Perspectives: Contrasting viewing the world through a “gold ruler” (absolute) versus an “iron ruler” (relative).
- Longevity and Lifestyle: Analyzing the lifespans of public figures like Hwang Su-gwan and Jimmy Carter to illustrate the impact of lifestyle and inner state on health.
- The Ten Evil Deeds (십악중죄): A detailed breakdown of sins committed through speech, mind, and body, emphasizing the pervasive nature of verbal transgressions.
- Human Conception and Development: Explaining the stages of human creation from ovulation to fetal development, highlighting the miraculous nature of life.
- National Development and Values: Discussing the stages of national economic development (Manpower, Technology, Etiquette, Manners, Trust) and the importance of intrinsic values.
- Core Messages
- Embrace Absolute Truth, Reject Relative Perspectives:
- Quote: “People see things with an iron ruler. they see everything as something that will eventually rot and disappear. The world is always going wrong. This is an absolute gold ruler; the Messiah or a true person from heaven has this.”
- Explanation: Human perception, often based on comparison and transient values (the “iron ruler”), leads to a view of decay and impermanence. True understanding comes from an absolute, eternal perspective (the “gold ruler”), which only the Creator possesses.
- Humility is the Foundation of Health and Longevity, Not Stress Management:
- Quote: “The cause of all stress is arrogance. We are unnecessarily arrogant there. ‘I am higher than others.’ This thought of being higher than others creates arrogance. That is the cause of all stress.”
- Explanation: Modern medicine often attributes illness to stress, but arrogance is the root cause of stress. Cultivating humility eliminates stress and promotes a healthy, long life, as exemplified by Jesus washing his disciples’ feet.
- The Miracle of Human Life and the Importance of Early Conception:
- Quote: “You are a bundle of blessings. It’s not about having money or not; you have received immense blessings. You ran a race against 500 million and came in first here.”
- Explanation: Every human being is a miracle, having overcome astronomical odds (500 million to 1) to be conceived. He emphasizes the importance of women conceiving before age 25, as later conceptions often result in lower quality eggs and higher risks, leading to “abnormal” children.
- Daily Judgment and the Power of Positive Actions:
- Quote: “Heaven judges humans with absoluteness, not relatively. Heaven doesn’t rank you as the 15th worst sinner out of 7 billion. Heaven judges with absoluteness. Heaven doesn’t look at sins, but rather what good things this person has done, what they have contributed for heaven and their neighbors.”
- Explanation: Divine judgment is not a one-time event after death but a continuous, moment-by-moment assessment based on absolute standards. Good deeds, love, and compassion accumulate positive “scores” daily, influencing one’s destiny and the quality of the soul that enters a new life.
- National Prosperity is Built on Intrinsic Values Beyond Economy:
- Quote: “We need etiquette to reach $30,000. We need manners, consideration, to reach $40,000. And $50,000 is trust. Why is the world’s vault in Switzerland? Because of trust.”
- Explanation: A nation’s true wealth and ability to advance beyond economic milestones (like $10,000 from manpower and $20,000 from technology) depend on cultivating higher values: etiquette, manners (consideration), and trust. These intrinsic qualities are what truly elevate a society and its global standing.
- Detailed Summary
-
The Iron Ruler vs. The Gold Ruler: Absolute and Relative Truths
- Main Assertions: People tend to view the world through a “relative” lens, like an “iron ruler,” which sees everything as temporary and decaying. This leads to a pessimistic outlook. The “absolute” truth, like a “gold ruler,” is eternal and unchanging, possessed by divine beings.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Iron vs. Gold: Iron rusts and destroys itself, symbolizing impermanence and self-destruction. Gold is eternal and unchanging, symbolizing absolute truth.
- Human Perception: Humans, using the “iron ruler,” perceive everything as eventually rotting away.
- Practical Message: Shift from a relative, transient perspective to an absolute, eternal one to find true meaning and salvation.
-
Longevity, Lifestyle, and the Illusion of Health Expertise
- Main Assertions: There’s a disconnect between public health advice and actual longevity. Political figures and health experts often preach one thing but live another, leading to shorter lifespans. True health is tied to inner state and proper self-care, not just external practices.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Hwang Su-gwan vs. Jimmy Carter: Hwang Su-gwan, a health expert, died at 67 from sepsis due to low immunity, while Jimmy Carter, a politician (known for short lifespans), lived to 92+ despite a demanding life.
- Sepsis: Explained as the blood losing to bacteria due to insufficient immunity, not a disease itself but a symptom of internal weakness.
- Sleep and Calcium Deposits: Less than 7 hours or more than 8 hours of sleep causes the heart to produce calcium deposits, hardening blood vessels and reducing immunity.
- Practical Message: Be wary of superficial health advice. True health comes from understanding the body’s natural rhythms and avoiding self-abuse, even in the pursuit of good deeds or fame.
-
The Root Cause of Stress: Arrogance vs. Humility
- Main Assertions: Stress is not the ultimate cause of illness; arrogance is. Modern medicine’s focus on “stress reduction” is misguided because it doesn’t address the root. Humility, exemplified by Jesus, eliminates stress and leads to a fulfilling life.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Suneung Exam: The shift from relative to absolute grading in English Suneung illustrates the difference between comparing oneself to others (relative) and achieving a fixed standard (absolute).
- Event Seating: Politicians experience immense stress over seating arrangements at events, driven by their desire for higher status (arrogance).
- Jesus Washing Disciples’ Feet: A symbolic act of ultimate humility, demonstrating how lowering oneself eliminates stress and fosters longevity.
- Diligent Worker: A humble worker who is grateful for work and focuses on their task, rather than complaining or watching the clock, experiences less stress and is valued.
- Practical Message: Cultivate humility in all aspects of life. Stop comparing yourself to others and be grateful for what you have. This will naturally reduce stress and lead to a healthier, more peaceful existence.
-
The Ten Evil Deeds (십악중죄): The Power of Words and Thoughts
- Main Assertions: Sins are committed through body, speech, and mind. Sins of speech are the most prevalent and damaging. False laughter, without genuine joy, produces toxins, not endorphins.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Three Types of Sins: Sins of the body (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct), sins of speech (false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle talk), and sins of the mind (greed, anger, wrong views).
- False Laughter: Laughing without genuine happiness, especially in difficult circumstances, is a “false word” (망어) that generates toxins and stress.
- “Hell Out” to “Hello”: A humorous example of how words can evolve and have hidden meanings, but also a warning against “idle talk” (망어).
- Practical Message: Be mindful of your words and thoughts. Avoid idle talk, divisive speech, and harsh words. Seek genuine happiness and create environments where true laughter can emerge.
-
The Miraculous Journey of Human Conception and the Soul’s Entry
- Main Assertions: Human conception is an extraordinary miracle, a 500-million-to-1 race. The quality of the egg and sperm, and the timing of conception, significantly impact the child’s health and intelligence. The soul enters the body around 49 days (the “embryonic stage”), a concept mirrored in religious traditions like Pentecost.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Ovulation and Sperm Lifespan: A woman’s egg lives for 24 hours, while sperm lives for 72 hours. Late fertilization of an aging egg can lead to disabilities.
- 500 Million to 1 Race: Every person is a “first-place winner” in the race of sperm to fertilize the egg, highlighting the preciousness of life.
- Stages of Development: Ovulation, fertilization (sperm meets egg), implantation (in the uterus), embryonic stage (soul enters at 49 days), and fetal stage.
- Stem Cells: The first 14 days after fertilization, while the embryo is in the fallopian tube, is the “stem cell” stage, where cells are pluripotent. After implantation, they differentiate.
- Pentecost (오순절): The 49-day period in Judaism and Christianity, where the Holy Spirit descended, parallels the 49-day mark when the soul enters the human embryo.
- Practical Message: Appreciate the miracle of your own existence. Parents should strive for optimal conditions for conception, ideally before age 25 for women, to ensure healthy offspring.
-
National Prosperity: Beyond Economy to Intrinsic Values
- Main Assertions: A nation’s progress is not solely economic. After achieving economic milestones through manpower and technology, higher stages of development require cultivating etiquette, manners (consideration), and trust.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Economic Stages:
- $10,000 GDP: Manpower (labor-intensive industries).
- $20,000 GDP: Technology.
- $30,000 GDP: Etiquette (예의).
- $40,000 GDP: Manners/Consideration (배려).
- $50,000+ GDP: Trust (신뢰).
- Switzerland’s Trust: Switzerland’s reputation for trust makes it the global vault for gold and a protector of the Pope, demonstrating the power of this value.
- Japanese Construction: Japanese-built structures from the colonial era are still sturdy, reflecting their adherence to principles and quality, which Koreans should learn from instead of harboring resentment.
- Practical Message: For Korea to advance further and achieve global leadership, its citizens must cultivate higher values like etiquette, consideration for others, and unwavering trust, moving beyond resentment and self-criticism.
-
The Absolute Energy of Huh Kyung-young and the End of Relative Thinking
- Main Assertions: Huh Kyung-young possesses absolute, creative energy from the universe, unlike the relative energy of the sun or other religious figures. This absolute energy transcends physical limitations and can heal and bring fortune. The 21st century is the “Age of Absolute Truth” (무극대도 시대), rendering relative philosophies obsolete.
- Analogies/Examples:
- Huh Kyung-young’s Image: His image (on cards, newspapers, TV) carries infinite cosmic energy that can be invoked anywhere, anytime, unlike the sun’s energy which is blocked by the Earth.
- Religious Concepts: This absolute energy is akin to the “Holy Spirit” in Christianity, but unlike other religious figures, Huh Kyung-young’s energy is verifiable and brings immediate results.
- “Middle” Philosophies: Concepts like “middle way” (중도), “neutrality” (중립), “moderation” (중용), and “harmony” (중화) are all relative concepts that are no longer relevant in the Age of Absolute Truth.
- Practical Message: Abandon relative thinking (e.g., rich vs. poor) and embrace the absolute truth and energy offered by Huh Kyung-young. This is the path to true health, fortune, and a new era.
-
National Dividend and Eradicating Debt
- Main Assertions: Each Korean citizen effectively owns 1.3 billion won of national assets. Huh Kyung-young proposes a “National Dividend System” to pay interest on this asset to citizens, stimulating the economy and eradicating national and corporate debt.
- Analogies/Examples:
- National Assets: The total national assets of Korea are 7 quadrillion won, which, divided among 50 million citizens, amounts to 1.3 billion won per person.
- Economic Stimulation: Paying interest on this “share” to citizens would provide disposable income, boosting the economy, unlike current government spending that disappears into “underground” channels.
- Debt Eradication: if he becomes president, national and corporate debt (e.g., 170 trillion won increase in debt for top 30 corporations) would be eliminated within a few years.
- Practical Message: Support Huh Kyung-young’s policies to unlock national wealth for citizens, stimulate the economy, and eliminate debt, leading to widespread prosperity.

- Historical / Doctrinal Connections
This lecture by Huh Kyung-young builds upon his established teachings by integrating several core concepts into a comprehensive worldview.
-
Divine-Human Theory and Absolute Energy: The lecture strongly emphasizes Huh Kyung-young’s unique status as the “Messiah” or “true person from heaven” who possesses the “absolute gold ruler” and “absolute energy.” This directly connects to his divine-human theory, where he asserts his celestial origin and ability to bestow blessings and energy that transcend conventional understanding. His claim that his image carries “infinite cosmic energy” and can heal remotely reinforces his self-proclaimed divine capabilities.
-
Critique of Existing Systems: His dismissal of “middle” philosophies (중도, 중립, 중용, 중화) as obsolete in the “Age of Absolute Truth” is a consistent theme in his lectures, where he often positions his teachings as superior and necessary for a new era. This also extends to his critique of modern medicine’s understanding of stress and traditional economic models.
-
33 Policies (and related proposals): The “National Dividend System” and the “special bonus for women who conceive before age 25” are direct examples of his proposed policies aimed at national prosperity and societal well-being. These proposals are often presented as practical applications of his absolute truths, designed to solve deep-seated societal problems.
-
Immortality Principles (indirectly): While not explicitly discussing physical immortality, the emphasis on humility as a path to longevity and the idea that arrogance leads to early demise aligns with his broader teachings on how spiritual and moral conduct influences one’s lifespan and destiny. The discussion of the soul’s entry at 49 days and the continuous daily judgment also touches upon the spiritual journey and its implications for future lives, a concept often linked to his principles of spiritual elevation.
Newly Emphasized Points or Developments: -
The “Iron Ruler” vs. “Gold Ruler” Analogy: While the concept of absolute truth is central, the specific analogy of the “iron ruler” (relative, decaying perspective) and “gold ruler” (absolute, eternal perspective) is a particularly vivid and memorable way to frame this core distinction.
-
Arrogance as the Root of Stress: This lecture strongly reframes the understanding of stress, moving beyond common psychological explanations to pinpoint arrogance (교만) as its fundamental cause. This provides a deeper, more spiritual explanation for a pervasive modern ailment.
-
Detailed Stages of Human Conception and Soul’s Entry: The in-depth explanation of ovulation, fertilization, stem cell stage, implantation, and the 49-day embryonic stage where the soul enters is remarkably detailed for a general lecture. The connection to the “Pentecost” (오순절) adds a unique spiritual dimension to biological processes.
-
National Development Stages Beyond Economy: The breakdown of national development into stages based on values like etiquette, manners, and trust (beyond just manpower and technology) offers a more holistic and culturally sensitive framework for national progress, highlighting the importance of soft power and moral capital.
-
Daily, Absolute Judgment: The assertion that divine judgment is not a post-mortem event but a continuous, second-by-second process that accumulates in one’s “genes” is a significant reinterpretation of traditional religious doctrines of judgment, emphasizing immediate accountability.
-
Action Items & Blessing Guidance
-
Cultivate Humility (겸손): Actively practice humility in all interactions, viewing others with respect and gratitude. This is the primary way to eliminate stress and attract blessings.
-
Be Mindful of Your Words (망어 금지): Avoid idle talk, deceptive speech, harsh words, and divisive language. Recognize that sins of speech are the most prevalent and damaging, impacting your karma and the quality of your soul.
-
Embrace the Absolute, Reject the Relative: Stop comparing yourself to others (e.g., rich vs. poor) and abandon philosophies that focus on “middle” or “neutral” positions. Seek the absolute truth and energy offered by Huh Kyung-young.
-
Support the National Dividend System: Understand and advocate for Huh Kyung-young’s proposed National Dividend System, which aims to distribute national wealth to citizens, stimulate the economy, and eradicate debt.
-
Live Righteously Daily: Recognize that divine judgment is continuous, not just after death. Strive to do good deeds, show love, and avoid sin every single day, as these actions accumulate and determine your destiny.
-
One-Sentence Overall Summary
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture on “Absoluteness and Relativity” asserts that true health, longevity, and national prosperity stem from embracing absolute truths like humility and daily righteous conduct, rejecting relative comparisons and obsolete philosophies, and recognizing the miraculous nature of life, all while emphasizing his unique role as the source of absolute cosmic energy and the architect of a new era of national dividends and debt eradication.
The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era
- The Eternal Gold Standard: Absolute Truth Versus Relative Perception
Huh Kyung-young introduces the profound concepts of absoluteness (절대성) and relativity (상대성) by contrasting gold with iron. He explains that iron, over time, rusts and self-destructs, symbolizing impermanence and decay. Gold, however, remains untarnished and eternal, representing an unchanging, absolute truth. Humanity often perceives the world through the lens of “iron rulers,” leading to the belief that everything will eventually decay and disappear. This perspective, he asserts, is fundamentally flawed.
He then introduces the Golden Ruler (금척), a metaphorical measuring tool made of absolute gold, which is possessed by the Messiah or a “True Man” (진인) from heaven. Listening to the words of one who wields this Golden Ruler, he states, offers a path to salvation. This sets the stage for understanding how divine, absolute principles differ from human, relative perceptions.
To illustrate the limitations of relative understanding, Huh Kyung-young contrasts the lifespans of Dr. Hwang Su-kwan, a health expert, and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. Dr. Hwang, despite being a renowned health advocate and physician, passed away at 67. In stark contrast, Jimmy Carter, a politician—a profession often associated with shorter lifespans due to stress—is 92 and expected to live beyond 110. This discrepancy, Huh Kyung-young argues, highlights a fundamental disconnect between words and actions, particularly among societal leaders. He suggests that while Dr. Hwang promoted health, his own life choices, such as frequent travel and irregular sleep, contributed to his early demise. This example serves to underscore that conventional wisdom, often based on relative human understanding, can be misleading when compared to the absolute truths governing life and health.
- The Illusion of Stress: Humility as the Antidote to Illness
Huh Kyung-young challenges the conventional medical understanding that stress (스트레스) is the primary cause of illness. while Western medicine often attributes various ailments to stress, this perspective is incomplete and misleading. merely telling people to avoid stress is ineffective because it fails to address the root cause. Instead, he identifies arrogance (교만할 만, 慢) as the true origin of stress.
He illustrates this point with examples of individuals experiencing stress over social status, such as politicians worrying about seating arrangements at events. This preoccupation with one’s perceived position relative to others, he explains, stems from a sense of superiority and pride. Such arrogance, he claims, is not merely a psychological state but a violation of natural law, leading to premature demise.
In contrast, Huh Kyung-young presents humility (겸손) as the ultimate antidote to stress and a pathway to longevity. He references Jesus washing the feet of his twelve disciples as a symbolic act of profound humility, demonstrating that even the Creator chose to serve. He explains that a humble person, who approaches work with gratitude and a willingness to serve, experiences less stress and is often favored by others. For such individuals, even arduous tasks become enjoyable because they are performed with a sense of purpose and appreciation, often for their families. This perspective suggests that true well-being comes not from avoiding external pressures, but from cultivating an inner state of humility that transforms one’s experience of life’s challenges.
- The Genesis of Life: From Conception to the Soul’s Arrival
Huh Kyung-young delves into the intricate process of human conception and development, emphasizing the miraculous nature of life. He explains the critical timing involved in ovulation (배란기), where a female ovum (난자) is released and remains viable for only 24 hours. If a male sperm (정자) does not fertilize it within this window, the ovum perishes. He notes that modern societal trends, such as women delaying marriage and childbirth past the age of 30, often lead to the waste of many viable ova and increased risks during pregnancy.
He highlights the incredible journey of sperm, where 300 to 500 million sperm compete to reach and fertilize a single ovum. The individual who successfully navigates this immense competition and is born is, in his view, a “bundle of blessings” (복덩어리). He stresses that even the most seemingly insignificant person has overcome astronomical odds to exist, deserving immense respect.
The process continues with fertilization (수정), where the sperm and ovum unite, forming a zygote (수정기). This zygote then undergoes a 14-day period in the fallopian tube, during which it exists as a stem cell (줄기세포). This stem cell phase is crucial, as it is the only time these versatile cells can be harvested for various medical applications. After 14 days, the zygote travels to the uterus for implantation (착상), marking the beginning of pregnancy (임신).
Following implantation, the embryonic stage (배아기) begins. Huh Kyung-young connects this to the biblical concept of Pentecost (오순절), which occurs 49 days after a significant event. similarly, 49 days after conception, the soul (영혼) enters the developing embryo, which at this point is about the size of a peanut. The quality of this incoming soul, he explains, is determined by the parents’ actions and their ancestors’ past deeds, influencing whether the child inherits good fortune or predispositions to illness. This intricate journey from a single ovum to the arrival of a soul underscores the profound and divinely orchestrated nature of human life.
- The Path to National Prosperity: Beyond Technology to Virtue
Huh Kyung-young outlines a vision for national prosperity that extends beyond mere economic and technological advancement, emphasizing the crucial role of human virtues. He acknowledges that South Korea has achieved a 20,000 USD per capita income through technology (테크놀로지) and previously reached 10,000 USD through manpower (맨 파워), or labor. However, he asserts that to ascend to higher levels of prosperity, specifically 30,000 USD, 40,000 USD, and 50,000 USD, the nation must cultivate essential virtues.
For 30,000 USD, he stresses the importance of etiquette (예의). Moving to 40,000 USD requires manners (매너), which he defines as consideration (배려) for others. He criticizes the national tendency to blame external entities like Japan or North Korea, arguing that self-reflection and a shift towards mutual respect are necessary for further progress. He points to the enduring quality of buildings constructed by the Japanese during the colonial era as an example of their adherence to principles, which he believes South Korea should emulate.
Finally, for 50,000 USD and beyond, he highlights trust (신뢰) as the paramount virtue. He cites Switzerland as a global example of a nation built on trust, where international wealth is stored and even the Pope’s security is entrusted to Swiss guards due to their incorruptibility. with trust, a nation’s prosperity can continue to rise indefinitely. Huh Kyung-young declares his intention to elevate South Korea to 100,000 USD per capita and achieve world unification by fostering these virtues, urging citizens to refrain from slander, practice consideration, and uphold etiquette. He concludes by stating that while China can imitate technology, it cannot replicate these intangible virtues, which are essential for true national greatness.
- The Absolute Energy and the Illusion of Relativity
Huh Kyung-young concludes by reiterating the distinction between absoluteness (절대성) and relativity (상대성), positioning himself as the embodiment of absolute energy. all visible, tangible aspects of the physical world, including stars, the sun, and human structures, are relative and impermanent. Even philosophical concepts like the “middle way” (중도), neutrality (중립), moderation (중용), and harmony (중화), which imply a center in relation to surroundings, are considered relative. the 21st century is the “Era of the Great Way of Nothingness” (무극대도 시대), an era of absoluteness where reliance on relative concepts is obsolete.
He contrasts this with the absolute nature of certain human relationships, such as the bond between parent and child, which remains unchanged across millennia. Filial piety (효도) and humility (겸손), he explains, are absolute virtues that transcend time and cultural shifts, serving as the foundation of all good conduct. a humble household, even in a geographically unfavorable location, will receive blessings from heaven.
Huh Kyung-young then presents his own absolute energy as distinct from any other, including solar energy. his image, whether in photographs or on screen, carries infinite creative energy from the universe, capable of healing and bringing good fortune to those who call his name, regardless of their location. this is akin to the Holy Spirit (성령) in Christianity, but unlike other religious figures, his energy can be immediately verified. He emphasizes the importance of embracing this absolute truth and discarding relative perceptions, such as the distinction between rich and poor.
He further explains that human judgment, including the assessment of sin, is not relative but absolute in the eyes of heaven. Heaven does not rank individuals by the amount of sin committed but rather evaluates their acts of love (사랑) and compassion (자비). This divine judgment, he states, occurs continuously, every second, and is recorded in one’s genes, rather than after death. He concludes by urging individuals to live righteously each day, as their actions are constantly being judged and accumulated, shaping their destiny.
Lecture Information
- Lecture Number: 994th
- Title: The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era
- Date: October 3, 2015
- Main Theme: Understanding the principles of absoluteness and relativity in life, health, and societal structures, alongside practical solutions for national prosperity and individual well-being.
Core Messages
- Absoluteness vs. Relativity: Human perception often relies on relativity (comparison), leading to flawed judgments, whereas absoluteness represents eternal, unchanging truths, like filial piety.
- Health and Humility: True health and longevity stem from humility and a lack of arrogance, rather than superficial practices or the absence of stress. Stress itself is often a symptom of arrogance.
- The Power of Environment and Action: Creating an environment where people can genuinely laugh and thrive is crucial, as forced laughter can be detrimental. Positive actions and a humble mindset attract good fortune and healthy outcomes.
- Human Value and Origin: Every human being is a miracle, having overcome immense odds (500 million to 1) to be born. This inherent value demands respect for all, regardless of social status.
- Daily Judgment and Karma: Divine judgment is not a post-mortem event but an ongoing, second-by-second process recorded in the universe’s vibrations and frequencies. Positive actions and thoughts accumulate good karma daily.
Summary of Key Content
The Nature of Absoluteness and Relativity
- The “Gold Ruler” (Geumcheok):
- Represents absolute truth and eternity, like pure gold that never rusts.
- Possessed by a Messiah or a true person from heaven, whose words offer a path to survival.
- The “Iron Ruler”:
- Symbolizes relativity and decay, like iron that rusts and destroys itself.
- Humanity often views the world through this lens, seeing everything as temporary and perishable.
- Examples in Society:
- CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test): Originally relative grading (comparing students), but English was changed to absolute grading (90+ points is 1st grade, regardless of others).
- Heaven’s Law: Operates on absoluteness, unlike Earth’s relativity which involves yin and yang, and gravity. Heaven is Mu-geuk (no polarity).
Health, Longevity, and the Pitfalls of Arrogance
- The Case of Hwang Su-gwan vs. Jimmy Carter:
- Hwang Su-gwan: A health expert and doctor who promoted immunity through laughter, yet died at 67 from sepsis (blood infection due to weakened immunity).
- His death was attributed to calcium buildup in arteries due to irregular sleep patterns (less than 7 hours or more than 8 hours), which hardens blood vessels and weakens immunity.
- His constant travel and busy schedule led to physical exhaustion and poor diet.
- Jimmy Carter: A politician (known for shorter lifespans due to stress) who traveled extensively, yet lived to 92 and is projected to live past 110.
- His longevity is linked to his conscientious nature and actions that benefited humanity (e.g., preventing war on the Korean Peninsula).
- The True Cause of Illness:
- Modern medicine often cites stress as the cause of all diseases, which is seen as incorrect.
- The root cause of stress is arrogance (慢, man), the belief in one’s superiority over others.
- Humility (謙遜, gyeomson) eliminates stress and promotes longevity, as exemplified by Jesus washing his disciples’ feet.
- Types of Illnesses:
- Chronic Diseases (Go-byeong): The most severe, encompassing hereditary diseases, mental illnesses, and physical ailments. These are interconnected and difficult to cure.
- Diseases (Jil-byeong): Physical illnesses.
- Symptoms (Jeung-se): The least severe, like sepsis or indigestion, which are not true diseases but indicators of underlying issues.
The Miracle of Human Birth and the Cycle of Life
- The Journey from Conception to Birth:
- The Value of Life: Every person is a “bundle of blessings” for having successfully navigated this miraculous process.
The Ten Evil Deeds (Sip-ak-jung-joe)
- Sins of the Mouth (4 types):
- Sins of the Mind (3 types):
- Sins of the Body (3 types):
Key Policies and Proposals
- Agricultural New Deal:
- Establish 1,000+ New Deal complexes nationwide, utilizing closed rural elementary schools (often in auspicious locations).
- Employ 5 million+ people in agriculture, providing salaries (e.g., 2 million won/month for a couple, 1 million won/month per person).
- Aims to create self-sufficient communities where children grow up healthy in nature, fostering future leaders.
- Incentives for Early Marriage and Childbirth:
- Provide a 30 million won childbirth bonus.
- Offer an additional 50 million won bonus for women who give birth before age 25.
- Provide 100 million won upon marriage and 200 million won in interest-free housing loans for life.
- Aims to encourage healthy pregnancies and reduce societal burdens.
- National Dividend System:
- Recognizes that each citizen owns 1.3 billion won of national assets (total national assets: 7 quadrillion won divided by 50 million people).
- Proposes paying annual interest on 1 billion won to every citizen, providing disposable income and stimulating the economy.
- Aims to eliminate national debt and corporate debt within a few years.
Philosophical and Cosmic Insights
- Heaven’s Judgment: Heaven judges based on absoluteness, not relativity. It does not rank sins but evaluates what good deeds a person has done.
- The Power of Humility and Filial Piety:
- Filial piety (孝道, hyodo) is an absolute truth that remains unchanged across generations, unlike societal norms.
- Humility (謙遜, gyeomson) is the foundation of all virtues, overcoming all diseases and misfortunes, transcending religion and faith.
- A humble household, even in a bad location, receives blessings from heaven.
- Do-pung (道風) vs. Beop-pung (法風):
- Beop-pung: Traditional geomancy that considers specific elements like “left blue dragon, right white tiger.”
- Do-pung: A higher level of geomancy where the presence of a truly virtuous person (like Huh Kyung-young) makes any location auspicious, regardless of external factors.
- Good people are naturally guided to good places by heaven, without needing to consult geomancy.
- Huh Kyung-young’s Absolute Energy:
- Huh Kyung-young possesses absolute energy from the universe, unlike the relative energy of the sun.
- His image (on business cards, newspapers, TV) contains this infinite, creative energy, which can heal and bring good fortune from anywhere in the world.
- This energy is akin to the Holy Spirit in Christianity, but unlike other religious figures, its effects are immediately verifiable.
- The Era of Mu-geuk Dae-do (無極大道): The 21st century is the era of absolute truth, where concepts based on “middle” or “neutrality” (like Buddhist “Middle Way,” Christian “neutrality,” Confucian “Golden Mean,” Taoist “harmony”) are outdated because they imply a surrounding relativity.
Critique of Reality and Alternatives
- Critique of Modern Lifestyles:
- Politicians and doctors often neglect their own health while advising others, leading to early deaths.
- Forced laughter or laughter in inappropriate environments can be detrimental, causing stress and releasing toxins.
- Modern urban education, with children growing up in “bean sprout” conditions in city buildings, lacks hope compared to rural schooling in nature.
- The emphasis on “stress as the cause of all diseases” by Western medicine is flawed; it fails to address the root cause, which is arrogance.
- Critique of Korean Society:
- Koreans tend to blame others (Japan, North Korea) rather than self-reflect, hindering national progress.
- Current economic policies lead to national and corporate debt, with money disappearing into a “black hole.”
- Path to National Development (Economic Stages):
- 10,000 USD GDP: Achieved through Manpower (labor force).
- 20,000 USD GDP: Achieved through Technology. Korea is currently in this stage.
- 30,000 USD GDP: Requires Etiquette (예의, ye-ui).
- 40,000 USD GDP: Requires Manner (배려, baeryeo – consideration for others).
- 50,000 USD GDP and beyond: Requires Trust (신뢰, sinnwae). Switzerland is an example of a nation built on trust.
- Huh Kyung-young aims to raise Korea to 100,000 USD GDP and achieve world unification by fostering these virtues.
Practical Implications
- Cultivate Humility: Embrace a humble mindset, like a servant, to eliminate stress and attract positive outcomes.
- Practice Filial Piety: Recognize filial piety as an absolute truth that brings blessings and longevity.
- Speak Kindly and Act Benevolently: Avoid the “ten evil deeds,” especially sins of the mouth, as negative words and actions bring harm to oneself and one’s descendants.
- Live with Gratitude and Purpose: Appreciate the miracle of being born and strive to do good deeds for others, as this accumulates positive karma daily.
- Seek Genuine Happiness: Create environments that foster true, heartfelt laughter, rather than forcing superficial cheerfulness.
- Embrace Self-Reflection: Focus on self-improvement rather than blaming others for societal problems.
One-Sentence Core Summary
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture systematically dissects absoluteness and relativity, revealing that true health, longevity, and national prosperity stem from humility, filial piety, and benevolent actions, rather than superficial practices or comparative judgments, emphasizing that divine judgment is a continuous, real-time process recorded through universal vibrations.
The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era
-
The Enduring Nature of Gold and the Ephemeral Quality of Iron
He introduces the concepts of absoluteness and relativity. He illustrates this with an analogy of gold and iron. Iron, he explains, rusts and eventually destroys itself. Gold, however, is pure and eternal, never corroding. People often perceive the world through the lens of iron, seeing everything as temporary and destined to decay. This perspective, he suggests, leads to a flawed understanding of existence. The “Golden Ruler” (금척), a metaphor for absolute truth, is possessed by a messiah or a true person from heaven. Listening to such a person, who brings this absolute truth, offers a path to salvation. -
Longevity and the Paradox of Public Figures
He contrasts the lifespans of Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan, a health expert, and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
- Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan, a physician and health evangelist, was a leading expert in boosting immunity. Despite his expertise, he passed away at 67 due to sepsis (패혈증), a condition caused by a severe bacterial infection leading to immune system failure. Sepsis, he clarifies, is not a disease itself but a symptom of a severely compromised immune system.
- Jimmy Carter, a politician, is noted for his long life, reaching 92 years old. Politicians generally have shorter lifespans due to the demanding nature of their work. Despite extensive travel and time zone changes, which are detrimental to health, Carter is projected to live beyond 110 years.
- He highlights the irony: Hwang Soo-kwan, who lectured on health and laughter, died much younger than Carter, who was not a health expert. This discrepancy, he suggests, reveals a deeper truth about health and life.
- The True Cause of Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan’s Early Demise
He delves into the underlying reason for Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan’s premature death, challenging common assumptions.
- Many attributed his death to overwork, self-confidence, or even insincerity in his public persona. However, Mr. Huh dismisses these as the primary causes.
- The true cause, he reveals, lies in calcium deposits (석회) in the heart.
- Sleeping less than seven hours or more than eight hours causes the heart to produce calcium deposits.
- These deposits accumulate in blood vessels, leading to arterial hardening (혈관 경화).
- Hardened blood vessels, especially capillaries, impair immunity.
- This weakened immunity makes one susceptible to conditions like sepsis.
- Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan’s frequent business trips and irregular sleep patterns contributed to this condition. He constantly promoted health but was unaware of this hidden danger within his own body.
- Understanding Chronic Illnesses and the Power of Facial Expression
He categorizes illnesses and discusses the impact of one’s demeanor.
- Chronic illnesses (고질병) are the most formidable. They encompass three types:
- Hereditary diseases (유전병): Conditions passed from parents to children, such as diabetes or stroke, which are difficult to cure medically.
- Mental illnesses (정신병): Diseases of the mind.
- Physical illnesses (육체의 병): Diseases of the body.
- These three interconnected types constitute chronic illness.
- In contrast, mere symptoms (증세), like sepsis or indigestion, are less severe and often treatable.
- He emphasizes the importance of a bright facial expression. A positive demeanor not only influences hormones but also contributes to overall health. He notes that despite Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan’s admirable achievements, his facial features indicated a short lifespan. His demanding schedule, constant travel, and reliance on restaurant food further deteriorated his health.
- The Greatest Suffering: Material Hardship
He recounts a teaching from Buddha about suffering.
- Buddha stated that there is a suffering greater than the pain of death.
- This greater suffering, he reveals, is the pain of material hardship (물질에 대한 고통).
- He illustrates this with the story of a mother with six children, widowed and penniless, unable to feed her starving children or pay rent. The sight of her emaciated children causes her a hundredfold more pain than death itself.
- He expresses his intention, if he becomes president, to provide confidential support to such women, ensuring their dignity and privacy. He believes that creating an environment where people can genuinely smile is crucial. True laughter, he states, comes from a place of peace, not forced cheerfulness. Forced laughter, he warns, can even produce toxins in the body.
- The Agricultural New Deal and the Importance of Rural Upbringing
He outlines his vision for an Agricultural New Deal (농업 뉴딜) to revitalize the nation.
- He plans to create over 1,000 “New Deal complexes” nationwide, utilizing abandoned rural elementary schools. These schools are often located in auspicious, scenic, and fertile areas.
- Children who grew up playing barefoot in these rural settings were the ones who drove the nation’s economy. In contrast, children raised in crowded city schools lack this foundational experience.
- The Agricultural New Deal aims to accommodate over 5 million people, providing employment in farming with a monthly salary. This would eliminate unemployment.
- Couples could earn 2 million won per month, accumulating 100 million won in three years. These complexes would offer housing for both couples and singles.
- This initiative would repopulate rural elementary schools, allowing children to grow up healthy and connected to nature, fostering the next generation of leaders.
- The Ten Cardinal Sins and the Power of Words
He discusses the Ten Cardinal Sins (십악중죄), focusing on those committed through speech.
- Sins are committed through the body, speech, and mind.
- Sins of speech are the most numerous. Among these, false speech (망어) is particularly harmful.
- False speech (망어): Uttering nonsensical or deceptive words.
- Slander (양설): Speaking ill of others.
- Harsh speech (악구): Cursing or condemning others.
- Deceptive speech (기어): Deceiving others.
- These four sins of speech are committed frequently.
- He notes that many marriages are based on false speech, leading to lifelong regret.
- He also touches upon the concept of good people dying young, suggesting it’s not a punishment but a promotion to a better existence, like being reborn as royalty. Geniuses, too, often have short lives because they experience a lifetime’s worth of learning quickly.
- The Miraculous Journey of Human Conception
He explains the intricate process of human conception, emphasizing its miraculous nature.
- Ovulation (배란기): An egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube. A woman’s egg has a lifespan of only 24 hours.
- Sperm’s Journey: Male sperm has a lifespan of 72 hours. For conception to occur, sperm must meet the egg within its 24-hour window.
- The Race of Life: Millions of sperm compete to reach and fertilize the egg. Each person is a “winner” who overcame odds of 500 million to 1.
- Timing is Crucial: If fertilization occurs when the egg is nearing the end of its 24-hour lifespan, the resulting child may have developmental issues. The egg’s wall thickens with age, making penetration difficult and potentially damaging the sperm’s “brain”.
- Fertilization (수정): The union of sperm and egg. This fertilized egg, or zygote, is a complete cell formed from two half-cells.
- Stem Cell Stage: For 14 days after fertilization, while the zygote is in the fallopian tube, it is in a stem cell (줄기세포) state. These are pluripotent cells capable of forming any tissue. After 14 days, once it implants in the uterus, it becomes an embryonic cell, losing its stem cell properties.
- Implantation (착상): After 14 days, the fertilized egg travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine wall. This marks the beginning of pregnancy (임신).
- Embryonic Stage (배아기): This stage begins after implantation. Around 49 days (7×7), the soul (영혼) enters the developing embryo. This 49-day period is significant in both Judaism (Pentecost) and Korean tradition (49-day memorial rites). The quality of the soul that enters depends on the parents’ actions and ancestors’ deeds.
- Fetal Stage (태아기): Following the embryonic stage, the human body begins to grow.
- He laments that modern women often delay pregnancy, wasting their prime ovulation years. Eggs after age 30 are of lower quality, leading to higher rates of miscarriage and children with temperamental issues. He proposes, as president, to offer significant incentives for women to marry and have children before age 25.
- The Absolute Nature of Filial Piety and Humility
He distinguishes between absolute (절대성) and relative (상대성) concepts.
- Relative concepts are temporary and perceptible to the senses. They exist only in relation to something else.
- Absolute concepts are eternal and unchanging, even if unseen.
- Ancestors (조상): Parents, grandparents, and ancestors are absolute. The relationship of a child to a parent remains constant across millennia.
- Filial piety (효도): This is the fundamental virtue, the root of all good deeds, and possesses absolute truth.
- Humility (겸손): This is another absolute virtue. A humble person experiences less stress and is favored by others. Humility allows one to find joy in work, even difficult tasks, by focusing on family or higher purpose.
- He criticizes the modern medical emphasis on “stress” as the cause of all illness. pride (교만) is the true root of stress.
- Pride manifests in concerns over social status, seating arrangements, or perceived disrespect.
- Jesus, by washing the feet of his disciples, demonstrated ultimate humility, a symbolic act to teach his followers to be humble. Humility, he states, eliminates stress and leads to a longer, more fulfilling life.
- He uses the analogy of a swiftlet chick learning to fly. The mother swiftlet pushes her chick out of the nest, forcing it to discover its innate ability to fly. Similarly, humans cling to their comfort zones, unaware of their own potential.
- Heaven judges humans not by relative comparisons of sin, but by an absolute standard. While everyone commits sins, heaven primarily evaluates one’s acts of love and compassion (사랑과 자비). This judgment occurs continuously, every second, not just after death.
- National Development and the Path to Global Leadership
He discusses the stages of national economic development and the qualities needed for global leadership.
- Technology (기술): This drives a nation to a $20,000 per capita income. Korea has reached this stage.
- Manpower (노동력): This enabled nations to reach $10,000 per capita income.
- Etiquette (예의): To reach $30,000, a nation needs etiquette.
- Manners/Consideration (배려): To reach $40,000, a nation needs consideration for others. He criticizes the Korean tendency to blame other nations like Japan and North Korea, rather than self-reflecting and cultivating these virtues. He notes that Japanese construction, even from decades ago, demonstrates a commitment to principles that Korea still struggles to match.
- Trust (신뢰): To reach $50,000 and beyond, a nation needs trust. Switzerland, for example, is a global hub for wealth due to its unwavering reliability. Swiss guards protect the Pope because they are incorruptible.
- He states his ambition to elevate South Korea to a $100,000 per capita income and achieve world unification, emphasizing the importance of trust, consideration, and etiquette. These qualities, he notes, are what China cannot easily imitate.
- The Absolute Energy of Huh Kyung-young
He concludes by asserting his unique position as the embodiment of absolute energy (절대성의 에너지).
- his image, whether in photos, newspapers, or on television, carries infinite cosmic, creative energy. This energy can heal people remotely and will influence the global economy.
- He differentiates his absolute energy from the sun’s energy, which is relative and cannot reach people on the other side of the Earth. His energy, however, is accessible anywhere by simply calling his name.
- This is akin to the Holy Spirit in Christianity, providing health, good fortune, and immediate demonstrable effects, unlike other religious figures.
- He dismisses concepts like “middle way” (중도), “neutrality” (중립), “moderation” (중용), and “harmony” (중화) as relative concepts that are obsolete in the 21st century. The 21st century, he proclaims, is the era of “Mu-geuk Dae-do” (무극대도), the era of absolute truth, where one should not be bound by relativity.
- He also introduces the concept of National Dividend (국민 배당제), where each citizen, as a shareholder of the nation’s 7 quadrillion won in assets, would receive an annual interest payment of approximately 100 million won. This would boost the economy and eliminate national debt.
what is the primary reason for the early death of Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan, despite his expertise in immunity?
① Lack of physical exercise
② Excessive workload and stress
③ Insufficient sleep leading to calcium buildup in arteries
④ A genetic predisposition to illness
(③, He attributes Dr. Hwang’s early death to insufficient sleep (less than 7 hours or more than 8 hours), which causes the heart to produce calcium, hardening blood vessels and weakening immunity. A common misconception is that his death was due to general stress or overwork, but Mr. Huh specifies the physiological mechanism related to sleep.)
True or False: the concept of “stress being the cause of all diseases” is a correct understanding of health.
(False, attributing all diseases to stress is incorrect because it doesn’t address the root cause of stress, which is often pride or arrogance. He suggests that moderate stress can even be beneficial.)
Fill-in-the-blank: the most significant sin among the “ten grave sins” (십악중죄) is committed through __.
(speech, He identifies sins committed through speech as the most prevalent among the ten grave sins, specifically highlighting “mang-eo” (망어 – deceitful or nonsensical words) as particularly harmful.)
What is His proposed solution for increasing the national income per capita from $20,000 to $30,000?
① Focusing on technological advancements
② Enhancing labor productivity
③ Improving national etiquette and manners
④ Strengthening international trade agreements
(③, He outlines a progression of national income, stating that $10,000 was achieved through “manpower” (labor), $20,000 through “technology,” and $30,000 requires “etiquette” (예의). A common misconception might be that continued technological advancement is the sole path.)
Intermediate
what is the fundamental difference between “absolute” (절대성) and “relative” (상대성) perspectives when evaluating human actions or societal systems?
(The absolute perspective judges actions based on unchanging, universal principles (like filial piety or humility), independent of comparison, while the relative perspective evaluates based on comparison to others or changing circumstances (like competitive exams or material wealth). A common misconception is that absolute means perfect, but here it refers to unchangeable truth.)
True or False: a person’s physical appearance, specifically having a “short-lived face” (단명상), can predict an early death, regardless of their healthy lifestyle choices.
(True, despite Dr. Hwang Soo-kwan’s healthy image, he had a “short-lived face” (단명상), implying that certain physical traits can indicate a shorter lifespan, even if one tries to live healthily. This suggests a predetermined aspect beyond lifestyle.)
Short Answer: Explain His view on why “stress is the cause of all diseases” is a misleading statement, and what he identifies as the true underlying cause.
(He believes “stress is the cause of all diseases” is misleading because it focuses on the symptom rather than the root cause. the true underlying cause of stress is “pride” (교만), stemming from a desire to be superior or to compare oneself to others. Eliminating pride, through humility, is presented as the real solution to stress and illness.)
What is His interpretation of the Christian concept of “Pentecost” (오순절) in relation to human development?
(He connects Pentecost (7×7=49 days) to the 49th day after conception, which he identifies as the “embryonic stage” (배아기) when the soul enters the human body. This parallels the biblical event of the Holy Spirit descending 49 days after Jesus’s resurrection. A common misconception is that Pentecost is purely a religious holiday, but Mr. Huh gives it a biological/spiritual significance.)
Advanced
Short Answer: Describe His “Agricultural New Deal” (농업 뉴딜) policy, including its primary goals and how it aims to address current societal issues.
(The Agricultural New Deal aims to create over 1,000 new agricultural complexes using 폐교 (closed schools) in rural areas, employing over 5 million people. Its goals include boosting the economy, providing stable income (e.g., 1 million won/person/month), and fostering a healthier upbringing for children by allowing them to grow up in nature, contrasting with urban environments. It also seeks to reduce unemployment and encourage early marriage and childbirth.)
what are the five stages of human development from conception to birth, and what critical event occurs during the “embryonic stage”?
(The five stages are ovulation (배란), fertilization (수정), implantation (착상), embryonic stage (배아기), and fetal stage (태아기). During the embryonic stage (around 49 days after conception), the soul (영혼) enters the human body. A common misconception might be that the soul enters at birth or at a much later stage.)
Short Answer: How does Mr. Huh differentiate between “good stress” and “bad stress,” and what is the key factor that determines this difference?
(He differentiates stress based on its origin: “bad stress” arises from pride (교만), such as worrying about one’s status or comparing oneself to others, which is detrimental. “Good stress,” however, comes from a humble desire to fulfill responsibilities, do good work, and earn appreciation, which can be motivating and even beneficial for health. The key factor is humility versus pride.)
What is His perspective on the traditional concept of “judgment after death” in religions like Christianity and Buddhism?
(He rejects the idea of judgment only after death, stating that judgment occurs continuously, “every second,” during one’s life. He believes that actions and thoughts are constantly recorded as “waves” or “frequencies” in the universe, influencing one’s immediate future and accumulating in one’s genes. Therefore, one’s destiny is shaped daily, not in a single post-mortem event.)
The Truth of Absoluteness and Relativity in Huh Kyung-young’s Era
- The Divine Perspective on Longevity and Mortality
I observe that many individuals arrive here after viewing my YouTube content. It appears that even broadcasting stations are now monitoring my YouTube channel, as I frequently receive calls inviting me to appear on television. I have been informed that advertisements are now appearing on my YouTube videos. This suggests that if the view count continues to rise, I could potentially earn 100 million won per month in advertising revenue, received in cash. This rapid progress is beneficial, especially as we approach the presidential election.
Today, I will discuss the truth of absoluteness and relativity. Last week, I referred to this as the Golden Ruler (金尺). What did I call this? Iron. Iron, by its very nature, rusts and destroys itself. Does pure gold (正金) rust? No, it is eternal and unchanging. People tend to view things through the lens of iron, perceiving everything as destined to decay and disappear. This is how the world consistently errs. The Golden Ruler is an absolute measure, possessed by the Messiah or a true person (眞人) from Heaven. Listening to the words of one who wields this Golden Ruler will ultimately lead to a path to survival.
Consider the lifespans of Hwang Su-gwan and Jimmy Carter. Hwang Su-gwan was a doctor and a health expert, a top specialist in boosting immunity. Jimmy Carter, however, was a politician, and politicians generally have the shortest lifespans due to the immense stress they endure. Yet, Jimmy Carter is currently 92 years old, while Hwang Su-gwan passed away at 67. This discrepancy highlights a fundamental inconsistency: social leaders who advocate for public health often fail to embody their own teachings. Politicians, too, frequently preach happiness to the public while engaging in contradictory behaviors. This is merely an example; it suggests that many politicians’ words and actions do not align.
Despite being a politician, Jimmy Carter has traveled extensively worldwide by plane, enduring significant time zone changes that are detrimental to health. Yet, he is 92 and is projected to live beyond 110. Hwang Su-gwan, in contrast, died 47 years earlier than Carter’s potential lifespan. People often do not realize that living past 70, from 70 to 100, is akin to living 300 years in youth. Life viewed in old age offers profound insights, unlike the fleeting experiences of youth. An elderly person, holding a grandchild, truly comprehends the world’s intricacies. Happiness in old age is paramount; to die prematurely after 60 is to have failed to experience life fully. Until about 60, one is often too preoccupied with raising children and managing life to truly grasp its essence.
- Absolute and Relative Judgment
When Heaven judges individuals, does it apply absoluteness or relativity? Many believe it is relativity. Relativity involves comparison. For instance, the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) in Korea used to be based on relativity. However, one subject, English, has been changed to absoluteness. Now, anyone scoring 90 points or above receives a Grade 1, regardless of how others perform. This eliminates comparison. This change is a reflection of Heaven’s law, which is absoluteness.
On Earth, there is Yin and Yang (陰陽) and Taiji (太極), and gravity. In Heaven, there is no Yin and Yang, hence it is Wuji (無極), the ultimate void. Dr. Hwang Su-gwan, a physician and health evangelist, taught about immunity. Yet, he died at 67 from sepsis, a condition caused by a severe bacterial infection due to insufficient immunity. Sepsis means the blood’s white blood cells are overwhelmed. A minor cut, perhaps from shaving, allowed bacteria to enter his body, spreading through his blood vessels and lymphatic system. His compromised immunity made him vulnerable.
The term “증” (症), as in sepsis (패혈증), refers to a symptom, not a disease itself. To die from a symptom like sepsis indicates a severe lack of immunity. I would understand if he died from a disease, but sepsis is merely a symptom. It signifies a pure deficiency in one’s own immunity. Our politicians and doctors are often too busy, overworking themselves to the point of exhaustion. Why did Dr. Hwang Su-gwan’s immunity decline? He constantly lectured about how laughter boosts immunity, yet his own immunity fell.
Many suggest reasons such as gossip, excessive talking, overconfidence in his health, or insincere laughter. Others point to overwork or lack of exercise. However, these are not the true reasons. The words of a person from Heaven, who possesses the Golden Ruler of absoluteness, differ entirely from those of human professors. I knew the reason for Hwang Su-gwan’s death long ago but never spoke of it until today, as I discuss absoluteness and relativity. His own body killed him.
I previously lectured that if a person sleeps seven hours, the heart does not produce calcium deposits (石灰). If one sleeps less than seven hours or more than eight, the heart produces calcium deposits. Dr. Hwang frequently traveled for lectures, often sleeping less than seven hours. These calcium deposits accumulate in blood vessels, causing them to harden. This hardening begins in the capillaries, severely compromising immunity. He may or may not have known about this rapid calcium deposit formation, but he always proclaimed himself healthy. Ordinary people are unaware of such secrets. The accumulation of calcium deposits in blood vessels inevitably leads to sepsis. When one falls ill, the body becomes weak, and the blood vessels lose their vitality, stiffened by calcium deposits. Ambitious individuals who sacrifice sleep for their thoughts accumulate calcium deposits. Lack of sleep and oversleeping both contribute to this. This weakens immunity, leading to various ailments.
The most terrifying disease is a chronic illness (痼病). This refers to a hereditary disease (遺傳病) passed from parents to children, which is difficult to cure. If a parent has diabetes or died from heart disease or stroke, the child has a higher probability of developing these conditions, making them medically challenging to treat. A chronic illness encompasses three types: hereditary disease, mental illness (精神病), and physical illness (肉體病). These three together constitute a chronic illness. It is the most formidable disease. After chronic illness comes disease (疾病), then illness (病), and finally, the mildest are symptoms (症), like sepsis or indigestion. We rarely die from indigestion; a digestive aid suffices.
Even now, some faces in my audience appear somber. One must brighten one’s expression. This not only prevents calcium deposits but also influences all hormones. Dr. Hwang Su-gwan was undoubtedly a remarkable individual, a self-made man who overcame adversity to become a doctor. I admired his journey. However, upon observing his face, I recognized signs of a short lifespan, not longevity. He inadvertently created an environment that shortened his life. Traveling for a one-hour lecture, flying to Jeju Island, staying overnight, and eating restaurant food filled with artificial seasonings, rather than home-cooked meals, takes a toll. What good is fame if it destroys one’s health? He brought laughter to others, but his own body suffered. Laughter should come from a pure heart.
Buddha once said there is a suffering greater than the pain of death. When asked by his disciples what it was, he replied, “The suffering of money, the suffering of material possessions.” This is the greatest suffering. Imagine a woman with six children, whose husband has died, living in a single room with no money. Her children are starving, she cannot pay rent, and food is abundant in the market, yet she cannot afford it. Any work she finds barely covers transportation, let alone food for herself or her children. The suffering this woman experiences, watching her emaciated children, is a hundred times more terrifying than the pain of death. People hear this casually, but in such circumstances, death might seem preferable. Many such women exist in Korea. When I become president, I will help them all, ensuring their privacy and dignity. No identification or consultations will be required. Public officials must be honest, but records will not be kept to protect their pride. If their labor is insufficient to feed their families, I will provide solutions. This is the right thing to do.
Creating an environment where people can genuinely laugh is crucial. Simply gathering people and telling them to laugh, without addressing their hardships, only benefits those already fortunate. Those who truly need laughter are those struggling with poverty, like the supermarket worker whose legs swell from standing all day, unable to sit for fear of losing her job. She endures this for her children, even if her earnings barely cover medicine. Such mothers are abundant in Korea. Our grandmothers overcame immense hardships. They fetched water from wells in winter for cooking and laundry, leading to back problems. Their low kitchen counters forced them to stoop, causing their backs to bend with age. We must bring laughter to these struggling individuals. Dr. Hwang Su-gwan, in his efforts to make people laugh, inadvertently suffered, while those he entertained often did not truly need it.
- The Virtue of Humility and the Nature of Stress
Jimmy Carter, despite his physically demanding life, prevented a third world war on the Korean Peninsula. He intervened during the Axe Murder Incident, preventing conflict with North Korea. Thanks to him, the Korean War did not reignite. Yet, people often overlook his contributions. He did not entertain people like Dr. Hwang Su-gwan, but he brought peace to our nation, averting tragedy. With a beard, he resembles a sage. Though a U.S. president, he was the son of a peanut farmer.
I am concerned about the future of Korean children. For Korea to thrive, I will implement an agricultural New Deal as president, creating over 1,000 New Deal complexes nationwide. Abandoned elementary schools, often located in auspicious sites with good soil, sunlight, and scenery, will be repurposed. These schools, where our economic leaders once played barefoot in the dirt, are now neglected. Urban schools, overcrowded like bean sprouts, offer no hope for the nation’s future. Children who grew up walking miles to rural schools, playing in the dirt, are now a rarity. My agricultural New Deal will accommodate over 5 million people in 1,000 complexes, providing employment and salaries for farming. Unemployment will cease to exist. A couple working there could earn 2 million won per month, accumulating 100 million won in three years. These complexes will offer housing for couples and singles. Rural elementary schools will flourish with children playing barefoot in the dirt, fostering a healthy populace. Such children, who appreciate mountains, fields, and nature, will elevate Korea to a global power. This vision is possible because I have experience in farming.
Children raised in urban apartments often lack basic knowledge of agriculture. My words are never false. Among the ten grave sins (十惡重罪), sins of the body, speech, and mind are the three repositories of sin. Which sin is most prevalent? Sins of speech. Among sins of speech, which is the worst? False speech (妄語), or useless talk. My laughter lectures fall into this category. We must lecture on creating an environment where people can laugh without committing sin. If a family is ruined and dying, forced laughter will only produce toxins in the body. Laughter after committing murder does not boost immunity; it produces toxins. Laughter must arise from an environment conducive to it; forced laughter is stress. Those who are genuinely suffering will resent those who appear happy. Forced laughter accumulates stress.
True humor, like a riddle, can elicit genuine laughter. For example, if you remove the “T” from “beautiful,” what remains? “Beaufiul,” which I once explained as “beauty without a flaw” (티 없는 아름다움). Or, “hell out” becoming “hello,” signifying a plea for help from a desperate situation. Such wordplay can bring genuine, pure laughter.
However, simply asserting that laughter is always good is problematic. Dr. Hwang Su-gwan attributed all diseases to stress, a common view among Western doctors. This is incorrect. Stress is not the root cause of disease; its origin must be addressed. Western doctors tell people to avoid stress, but they do not explain how. In India, people do not speak of stress; they laugh and live peacefully even without possessions. They do not know what stress is. Therefore, we should not be misled by the notion that stress is the cause of all disease. Those who constantly emphasize avoiding stress often suffer from it the most.
While I respect Dr. Hwang Su-gwan as a person, I critique modern medicine. Modern medicine tells people not to be stressed, but it fails to address the cause of stress. Moderate stress can even be beneficial. The root cause of stress is arrogance (慢). For example, politicians experience immense stress over seating arrangements at events, believing their status dictates their position. This arrogance is the source of all stress. Even conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law stem from arrogance, not stress.
Jesus, as a symbolic act before his crucifixion, washed the feet of his twelve disciples. This act, more profound than a master washing the feet of his servants, symbolized humility. One who is humble experiences no stress. A humble laborer, grateful for work, performs diligently, and is favored by employers. They do not feel the burden of labor, as they are motivated by their families. Such individuals live long, even without forced laughter. Their work is joyful. In contrast, arrogant individuals constantly check the time, complain, and harbor resentment, leading to stress and premature death.
Therefore, doctors should not speak of stress but of humility. Humility can cure all diseases. A humble person, even performing arduous tasks, may not perceive them as difficult. They are grateful for food and do not demand preferential treatment. Arrogant individuals, however, create stress for themselves and others, leading to physical ailments. Heaven eliminates the arrogant through natural law. Humble individuals, like Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, are rewarded with longevity.
Consider the example of the short-finned galaxias (갈치). These fish are highly sensitive to stress and die quickly when caught. To transport them alive, their natural predators are introduced into the tank, providing a controlled amount of stress that keeps them active and alive. Similarly, wealthy individuals in the past often died early due to a lack of “predators” or challenges, leading to indulgence and illness. Jimmy Carter, a conscientious person, did not need health advice because his inherent goodness protected him.
There are different levels of Feng Shui (風水). Legal Feng Shui (法風) considers elements like the Green Dragon and White Tiger. Above this is Dao Feng Shui (道風), where the presence of a true sage like Huh Kyung-young transforms any location into an auspicious site, regardless of external factors. Virtuous people are naturally guided to good places by Heaven, while those who commit evil deeds obsess over Feng Shui and auspicious dates, experiencing stress. This kind of stress is undesirable.
However, a different kind of stress, where one diligently performs tasks out of a sense of responsibility and a desire to please the employer, is beneficial. Such stress, when met with appreciation, alleviates fatigue. This positive stress motivates one to be exemplary, grateful for work, and considerate of those who provided it.
Sepsis occurs when bacteria enter the blood or lymph fluid. The lymphatic fluid, like the cooling system in a car, circulates throughout the body, killing bacteria. When a wound heals, clear fluid, or lymph, appears, indicating strong immunity. Diabetics, however, often lack this fluid, leading to tissue decay. Lymph fluid disinfects wounds before scabs form. If bacteria enter the lymphatic system, they spread rapidly, overwhelming a compromised immune system.
- The Ten Grave Sins and the Miracle of Life
False speech (妄語), causing harm with words, inevitably returns to the speaker. As Buddha said, “This exists because that exists.” Everything has a cause. My image is here because you have accumulated immense blessings in Heaven. However, the television obscuring my image is problematic; it should be raised higher so my forehead is visible, allowing my energy to spread.
False speech is the worst of the ten grave sins. Other sins of speech include deceitful speech (綺語), slander (兩舌), and abusive speech (惡口). These four sins of speech are committed routinely by people. Slander involves speaking ill of others, abusive speech involves cursing others, and deceitful speech involves deceiving others. False speech is speaking nonsense. In East Asian cultures, the character for “woman” (女) often appears in negative Hanja characters, such as “jealousy” (妬). Many marriages are based on false speech, leading to lifelong misery.
Do good people die young? Sometimes, exceptionally good people are called to a higher purpose, reincarnating as royalty in another land. Heaven orchestrates these events. For example, a woman with liver cancer might be destined to be a princess in Monaco. I would not cure her, as she is going to a better place. Those who have lived virtuously are invited to higher realms. Geniuses often have short lifespans because they experience a century’s worth of life in a decade. Some die due to sin, others are called away for a better existence.
The sins of the mind are three: greed (貪), anger (瞋), and ignorance (癡). Greed is covetousness, anger is excessive rage, and ignorance is foolishness. These are sins of the mind. The three sins of the body are killing (殺生), stealing (偸盜), and sexual misconduct (淫行). These ten grave sins encompass all human transgressions.
Life itself is a miracle. The ovum (卵子) has a lifespan of 24 hours. If a sperm (精子) from the seminal vesicle (精囊) does not fertilize it within that time, it perishes. After age 35, pregnancy becomes risky. Many women delay marriage and childbirth, wasting their prime reproductive years. This leads to complications and difficult pregnancies, enriching obstetricians. Pregnancy before 30 is safe, but after 30, it is a life-threatening endeavor. Millions of ova are wasted because sperm do not arrive in time.
Sperm, however, have a lifespan of 72 hours. Many sperm go to the wrong fallopian tube. The successful sperm that fertilizes the ovum is truly a winner, having overcome 300 to 500 million competitors. Every person, no matter how insignificant, has passed this incredible hurdle. Therefore, every human being deserves immense respect. To insult someone, even a beggar, is to invite the wrath of their ancestral spirits, who often linger in the household. These spirits can cause illness, such as liver cancer, as a form of retribution. Therefore, speaking kindly and performing good deeds will enlist the help of these spirits. The story of tying grass to repay kindness (結草報恩) illustrates how ancestral spirits can aid their descendants in times of need.
If fertilization occurs when the ovum is nearing the end of its 24-hour lifespan, the child’s brain may be impaired. A weak, dying ovum, fertilized by a sperm that has struggled to penetrate its thick wall, can result in a child with disabilities. Just as a rotten egg produces an abnormal chick, a late fertilization can lead to developmental issues. Your normal birth is a miracle, having overcome 500 million competitors. You are truly blessed.
Fertilization (受精) occurs when sperm meets ovum. This fertilized egg, or zygote, remains in the fallopian tube for 14 days. During this period, it is in a stem cell (줄기세포) state, undergoing cell division. After 14 days, it implants in the uterine wall, a process called implantation (着床), which marks the beginning of pregnancy (妊娠). Following implantation is the embryonic stage (胚芽期).
In Judaism, 7 multiplied by 7 is 49. In Christianity, this is Pentecost, the 50th day after Easter. The 49th day after conception, during the embryonic stage, is when the soul (靈魂) enters the body. This is when the human body, about the size of a peanut, receives its soul, which remains until death. The quality of the soul—whether good or bad, carrying hereditary diseases or not—depends on the parents’ actions and ancestors’ deeds. Humble, self-sacrificing parents attract good souls.
After the embryonic stage comes the fetal stage (胎兒期), where the human grows. Many pregnancies are lost during these stages. Yet, you have safely passed through these stages, overcoming 500 million competitors, and grown up healthy, yet many are filled with complaints. It is crucial to understand the stages of ovulation, fertilization, implantation, embryonic development, and fetal development. The 49-day period for the soul to enter is consistent across cultures, from Judaism to Korea. This natural law of the universe is precise.
Today’s women often waste their reproductive years. Ova produced after age 30 are of lower quality, leading to miscarriages and children who are irritable or abnormal. Normal children are born when mothers are young. If I become president, I will offer special incentives for women who become pregnant before age 25. In addition to 30 million won for childbirth, an extra bonus will be given. This will encourage early marriage and healthy pregnancies. My policies will provide 100 million won for marriage and a 200 million won interest-free housing loan, totaling 300 million won. With additional bonuses for early childbirth, people will be eager to marry young.
The Pentecost, 49 days after Jesus’ death, saw the descent of the Holy Spirit. Similarly, the human soul enters the body on the 49th day. This is the embryonic stage, when the soul enters the peanut-sized body. The quality of this soul depends on one’s past actions and ancestral deeds. Good deeds attract good souls. Therefore, we must be mindful during this period.
I am not an obstetrician, but I explain these concepts in the most understandable way. No specialist can explain it as clearly as I can. Why should we not harbor resentment towards others? Because a late fertilization can result in an abnormal child. An aged ovum, difficult for sperm to penetrate, can lead to brain damage in the sperm, resulting in a dull child. Penetrating the ovum’s wall is not easy. Your existence as a human being, having overcome such odds, is truly precious. You are all incredibly fortunate.
- The Absolute Nature of Filial Piety and the Path to National Prosperity
Simply telling people to laugh is insufficient. Laughter must well up from within. The most terrifying and most grateful thing in this world is people. The most cautious thing is also people. Understanding the principles of absoluteness and relativity is paramount. The physical world, everything visible to our eyes, is relative. Stars, the sun, churches, and buildings will all change or disappear over millennia. What exists only when I am present is relative. Concepts like moderation (中道), neutrality (中立), the Doctrine of the Mean (中庸), and centrality (中央) are all relative. Even the four dimensions are relative.
However, there are human-made things that possess absoluteness. What is invisible yet absolute? Parents, grandparents, and ancestors are absolute. You would never call your father “son,” even after millions of years. Filial piety (孝道) remains absolute for millennia. It does not change. While titles may vary across cultures, the essence of parenthood is absolute. This absoluteness is eternal and unchanging. We must pursue such values.
Filial piety is the foundation of all good deeds. Filial piety and humility possess absoluteness. They overcome all diseases, calamities, and even transcend religious beliefs. A humble person, regardless of faith, will find all paths open. A household where people respect others, no matter how humble, will receive blessings from Heaven, even in an inauspicious location.
This absoluteness of filial piety is eternal. Consider the swallow chick. When it is grown, its mother pushes it out of the nest. The chick clings to the nest, fearing death if it falls from the high eaves. It does not realize it possesses the ability to fly. Similarly, humans possess the qualities of Cheonsa (天使), capable of immense good, which can attract boundless wealth. We are like electrical wires, capable of channeling infinite energy, yet we fear using it, believing it will make us poor. The mother swallow eventually stops feeding the chick and pushes it off the cliff. The chick, in its fall, instinctively flaps its wings and learns to fly, realizing its own power. It then flies away, never to return, and the mother is content, knowing her child has gone to a better world. Humans, too, cling to their nests. If we let go and embrace humility, we can soar through the world.
Heaven judges sins not by relativity (e.g., “you are the 15th worst sinner among 7 billion people”), but by absoluteness. Heaven does not rank sins. Instead, it observes that all 7 billion humans commit sins, averaging around 50 points. Heaven then asks, “What good deeds have you done?” Heaven values love and compassion more than the absence of sin. Everyone commits sins, so Heaven focuses on what good one has done for Heaven and for one’s neighbors. This is the opportunity to atone for sins.
Heaven does not judge humans after death; it judges them every second of every day, accumulating these judgments in their genes. You are the jury, constantly judging others. If you praise President Park Geun-hye, her score rises; if you criticize her, it falls. Everything you do is recorded in the vibrations (파동) of space. Therefore, the Christian and Buddhist notion of judgment after death is incorrect. If I am greedy and overeat, I will get an upset stomach today. If I commit a severe evil deed, I might have a car accident tomorrow, suffer injuries, fall unconscious, or even die. These consequences are immediate. After 49 days, the person goes directly to their destined place; judgment on Earth is complete. Therefore, you must live virtuously every day. You cannot accumulate sins and expect to wash them away later.
Korea, despite its resentment towards Japan, benefits from Japanese craftsmanship. The brick buildings at Seoul Station, built during the Japanese colonial period, are sturdier than many modern concrete structures. While we could only make sickles, they built airplanes and attacked America. This reflects their technological prowess. Korea has reached the 20,000-dollar per capita income era through technology (기술). Before that, we reached 10,000 dollars through manpower (노동력). However, we still harbor resentment towards Japan and North Korea, failing to self-reflect.
To reach 30,000 dollars, we need etiquette (예의). To reach 40,000 dollars, we need manners (배려), or consideration for others. Our nation lacks self-reflection and continues to harbor animosity. We must learn from other nations. Japanese construction techniques from 60-70 years ago still surpass ours. To reach 50,000 dollars, we need trust (신뢰). Switzerland, for example, is the global repository for gold and wealth due to its unwavering trust. Swiss guards protect the Pope because they are incorruptible. Trust is the key to reaching 90,000 dollars and beyond.
I aim to elevate Korea to 100,000 dollars per capita and achieve world unification. Therefore, I emphasize trust, urging people to refrain from slander, practice consideration, and uphold etiquette. Manpower and technology alone are insufficient, as China can easily imitate them. However, China cannot imitate etiquette, consideration, or trust.
Today’s lecture concludes with absoluteness and relativity. I, Huh Kyung-young, embody the Golden Ruler, possessing absolute energy that is absent in others. My photographs, whether on business cards, in newspapers, or on television, contain infinite cosmic, creative energy. Calling my name will bring changes, and my books and water will spread globally. An era will come when the world economy is influenced by my image. I am the sole possessor of the universe’s absolute energy. The sun’s energy is relative, unlike mine. I can heal people in America by looking at them through a phone, transmitting energy that the sun cannot. My energy, which Christians call the Holy Spirit, brings health, good fortune, and is immediately verifiable, unlike the claims of other religions.
I will lecture more on my energy later, but it is crucial to understand absoluteness. Concepts like moderation in Buddhism, neutrality in Christianity, the Doctrine of the Mean in Confucianism, and harmony (中和) in Taoism, all containing the character for “middle” (中), are relative because they require a periphery to exist. These concepts are obsolete in the 21st century, which is the era of Wuji Great Dao (無極大道), the era of absoluteness. Do not be bound by relativity. Discard the notion of “rich” and “poor.”
Each Korean citizen owns 1.3 billion won of national assets. The total national wealth is 7 quadrillion won. As 50 million citizens are shareholders, each effectively owns 1.3 billion won. Why, then, are people poor? I will pay interest on this 1.3 billion won, which I call the National Dividend. This National Dividend System will provide annual interest payments to your bank accounts, giving you disposable income. This will stimulate the economy. Currently, this money is diverted to military spending and other areas, disappearing into the underground economy. The national debt and corporate debt are soaring. When I become president, the national debt will disappear within a few years. Large corporations have seen their debt increase by 170 trillion won in recent years, indicating significant losses despite investments.
Next week, I will elaborate on Huh Kyung-young’s energy. This concludes today’s lecture.

Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion
-
Introduction and YouTube Popularity
- He noted an increase in attendees who discovered the content through YouTube.
- There’s a need to move to a larger venue to accommodate more people.
- He mentioned receiving calls from broadcasting stations due to YouTube popularity, requesting appearances.
- YouTube banner ads are appearing on His videos, which could generate significant income if viewership increases.
-
Absoluteness and Relativity
- He introduced the concepts of “absoluteness” (금척 – golden ruler) and “relativity” (쇠 – iron).
- Iron rusts and destroys itself, symbolizing the transient and corruptible nature of things seen through a “relativity” lens.
- Gold, or the “golden ruler,” represents eternal and unchanging truth, possessed by a “Messiah” or “true person from heaven”.
- Listening to the words of one who possesses the “golden ruler” leads to salvation.
-
Case Study: Hwang Su-gwan vs. Jimmy Carter
- Hwang Su-gwan: A health expert and doctor who promoted immunity, died at 67 from sepsis due to a lack of immunity. Sepsis is a condition where white blood cells are defeated by bacteria, often entering through minor skin breaks. He attributes Hwang’s early death to his demanding schedule, lack of sleep, and the resulting calcification of arteries.
- Jimmy Carter: A politician, typically a short-lived profession, is 92 and expected to live past 110 despite extensive travel. Carter’s actions, such as preventing the Korean War, brought peace and happiness to people, contrasting with Hwang’s focus on superficial health advice.
- Hwang’s “fake” laughter and overwork, driven by a desire for fame and money, led to his early demise, while Carter’s genuine contributions to humanity fostered longevity.
-
Types of Illnesses
- He categorized illnesses:
- Go-byeong (고병): Hereditary diseases, difficult to cure.
- Jil-byeong (질병): Mental illnesses.
- Yukche-byeong (육체병): Physical illnesses.
- Jeungse (증세): Symptoms, the least severe, like sepsis or indigestion.
- The most frightening illness is a “chronic disease” (고질병), which encompasses hereditary, mental, and physical ailments.
-
The Root Cause of Stress: Arrogance (교만)
- Western medicine incorrectly identifies stress as the primary cause of illness.
- The true root cause of stress is arrogance (교만), a desire to be superior to others.
- Humility (겸손), exemplified by Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, eliminates stress and promotes longevity.
- Humble individuals find joy in work and are rewarded, while arrogant individuals experience constant dissatisfaction and stress.
- Even physical stress can be beneficial if approached with a sense of responsibility and gratitude.
-
The Process of Human Creation
- Ovulation (배란기): The female egg has a lifespan of 24 hours.
- Sperm (정자): Male sperm has a lifespan of 72 hours.
- Fertilization (수정): The successful union of sperm and egg, a 500 million to 1 chance, is a miracle. If the egg is old (near 24 hours), the resulting child may have developmental issues.
- Stem Cell Stage (줄기세포기): For 14 days after fertilization, the embryo is in a stem cell state, capable of creating any organ.
- Implantation (착상): After 14 days, the embryo implants in the uterus.
- Embryonic Stage (배아기): Around 49 days (7×7), the soul enters the body, which is about the size of a peanut. The quality of the soul depends on the parents’ past actions and humility.
- Fetal Stage (태아기): The human body begins to grow.
- He emphasized the importance of early pregnancy (before 25) for healthier children and proposed incentives for young mothers.
-
The Ten Evil Deeds (십악중죄)
- Sins of the Mouth (입으로 짓는 죄):
- Mang-eo (망어): Lying, deceitful words.
- Gi-eo (기어): Exaggerated or flowery language.
- Yang-seol (양설): Slander, speaking ill of others.
- Ak-gu (악구): Abusive language, cursing.
- Sins of the Mind (마음이 짓는 죄):
- Tam (탐): Greed.
- Jin (진): Anger.
- Chi (치): Ignorance, foolishness.
- Sins of the Body (몸이 짓는 죄):
- Salsaeng (살생): Killing.
- Tudo (투도): Stealing.
- Eumhaeng (음행): Sexual misconduct.
- He stressed that words are the most common source of sin.
-
National Development and Economic Growth
- Manpower (노동력): Enabled South Korea to reach $10,000 GDP per capita.
- Technology (기술): Enabled South Korea to reach $20,000 GDP per capita.
- Etiquette (예의): Necessary to reach $30,000 GDP per capita.
- Manner/Consideration (배려): Necessary to reach $40,000 GDP per capita.
- Trust (신뢰): Essential for reaching $50,000 GDP per capita and beyond, exemplified by Switzerland’s global financial standing.
- He aims to elevate South Korea to $100,000 GDP per capita through these values.
- He plans to implement an “Agricultural New Deal” to create 1,000 new communities, employing over 5 million people, and providing a monthly salary of 1 million won per person, eliminating unemployment.
- He also proposed a “National Dividend System” where citizens receive interest on their share of national assets (estimated at 1.3 billion won per person), stimulating the economy.
-
The Speaker’s Absolute Energy
- He claims to possess “absolute energy” that transcends the relative energy of the sun and can heal people remotely.
- This energy is present in his image and can be invoked by calling his name.
- traditional religious concepts like “middle way” (중도), “neutrality” (중립), and “moderation” (중용) are relative and outdated in the 21st century, which is an era of “absolute truth” (무극대도 시대).
Ⅲ. Action Items
- Attendees:
- Practice humility and avoid arrogance to reduce stress and promote longevity.
- Refrain from the “Ten Evil Deeds,” especially sins of the mouth.
- Strive for positive actions and thoughts, as daily judgments accumulate in one’s “genes”.
- Speaker’s Future Plans (if elected president):
- Implement an “Agricultural New Deal” to create 1,000 new communities and employ over 5 million people.
- Provide a monthly salary of 1 million won per person in the Agricultural New Deal communities.
- Offer special incentives (e.g., 50 million won bonus) for women who give birth before age 25.
- Implement a “National Dividend System” to provide citizens with annual interest on their share of national assets.
- Eliminate national debt within a few years.
This material is a lecture by Huh Kyung-young, focusing on the principles of absoluteness and relativity in life and society. humility and good deeds are absolute values that lead to a fulfilling life, contrasting them with the relative and often detrimental pursuit of worldly success and pride. He also touches upon his unique political and economic visions for Korea, including agricultural New Deal policies and a national dividend system, all rooted in his philosophy of absoluteness.
The Principles of Absoluteness and Relativity
The “Gold Ruler” vs. the “Iron Ruler”
Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of a “gold ruler” and an “iron ruler” to distinguish between absolute and relative truths. The gold ruler represents eternal, unchanging values, while the iron ruler symbolizes temporary, corruptible worldly perspectives. This distinction is crucial for understanding his worldview.
쇠는 자기 몸에 서 녹이 나서 자기를 죽인다. 금은, 정금은 녹이 있습니까? 영원하다. 영원불변. 사람들은 쇠자로 사물을 본다. 그러니까 이거 언젠간 쇠자로 보니까 전부 썩어 없어질 걸로 보는 거야. 세상이 항상 잘못해 가는 거죠. 요거는 절대적인 금으로 된 자, 금척 메시아나 하늘에서 오는 진인이 이걸 가지고 있다.
Iron rusts from within and kills itself. Does gold, pure gold, have rust? It is eternal. Everlasting and unchanging. People view things with an iron ruler. because they see it with an iron ruler, they see everything as something that will eventually rot and disappear. The world is always going wrong. This (gold ruler) is an absolute ruler made of gold, a “Geumcheok” (gold ruler) that a Messiah or a true person from heaven possesses.
이걸 가지고 오는 자의 말을 들으면 나중에 살길이 생긴다.
If you listen to the words of the one who brings this (gold ruler), a way to live will emerge later.
The Illusion of Worldly Success and Health
Huh Kyung-young uses the contrasting lives of health expert Hwang Su-gwan and former US President Jimmy Carter to illustrate that worldly success or even expertise in health doesn’t guarantee a long, happy life. true well-being comes from living by absolute values, not relative achievements. This challenges conventional wisdom about health and success.
황수관은 건강 박사야, 의사야, 그러면 이 사람은 아주 그냥 면역력을 높이는 데 아주 최고 전문가야, 맞습니까? 근데 지미 카터는 의사입니까, 아닙니까? 정치인은 사람들 중에 수명이 제일 짧아요. 수명이 짧아. 왜? 정치인은 너무 힘드니까. 근데 이 사람은 지금 나이 몇이죠? 지미 카터가 몇 살이지? 92세죠. 이 사람 몇 살에 죽었죠? 67세.
Hwang Su-gwan is a health doctor, a physician. this person is the top expert in boosting immunity, correct? But is Jimmy Carter a doctor? No. Politicians have the shortest lifespans among people. Their lifespan is short. Why? Because politics is too hard. But how old is this person now? How old is Jimmy Carter? He’s 92. How old was this person (Hwang Su-gwan) when he died? 67.
근데 그래도 미국에 지미 카터는 정치인인데 전 세계 비행기 타고 다닌 시간만 해도 어마어마해. 비행기 한번 타면 시차가 생겨. 그러니까 몸이 엄청 나빠지는 데도 이 사람이 지금 92세인데 앞으로 적어도 이 사람이 110살 이상은 살 수 있어요.
But still, Jimmy Carter, a politician in America, has spent an enormous amount of time flying all over the world. Every time you fly, you get jet lag. even though his body is getting very bad, he is now 92, and he can live to at least 110 years old.
황수관 박사는 면역력을 가르치는 의사야. 그리고 국민들에게 건강 전도사야. 근데 이 사람이 67세 돌아갈 때 죽은 원인이 면역력이 부족해서 죽었어.
Dr. Hwang Su-gwan is a doctor who teaches immunity. And he is a health evangelist to the nation. But the cause of his death at 67 was a lack of immunity.
The True Cause of Illness: Pride, Not Stress
Huh Kyung-young presents a contrarian view on the cause of illness, arguing that pride (교만), not stress, is the root of all diseases. He uses the example of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet to symbolize humility as the antidote to pride and, consequently, to illness. This perspective is a radical departure from modern medical understanding.
스트레스는 이거 때문에 알죠. 만(慢), 교만할 만(慢) 자죠. 교만 때문에.
Stress is due to this, you know. It’s the character for ‘man’ (慢), meaning ‘prideful’. Because of pride.
이와 같이 그것은 왜 스트레스가 오냐? 그 원인은 교만이야. 우리가 쓸데없이 거기에 교만을 부리는 거야, 교만. 내가 남보다 높다 이거야. 내가 남보다 높으니까 교만심이 생겨 안 생겨? 그것이 모든 스트레스의 원인이야.
Likewise, why does stress come? The cause is pride. We unnecessarily show pride there, pride. It’s like saying, “I am superior to others.” When I am superior to others, does pride arise ? That is the cause of all stress.
벌써 요렇게 교만한 자는 자연의 법칙에 의해서 제거시켜요, 하늘에서. 자꾸 제거시켜 버려. 그리고 예수 같이 순종하는 자, 12 제자의 발을 씻어준다는 건 자기가 돌아가기 전에 내가 이런 행동을 보임으로써 너희도 그렇게 겸손하게 하라. 그래서 이거는 뭘 상징합니까? 뭐를 상징한다 그랬어요? 겸손, 아주 자기를 낮추는 거죠.
Already, such proud individuals are removed by the laws of nature, by heaven. They are constantly removed. And those who are obedient like Jesus, washing the feet of the 12 disciples, means that before he returned, by showing this action, he told them to be humble as well. what does this symbolize? What did I say it symbolizes? Humility, lowering oneself greatly.
The Power of Humility and Good Deeds
humility (겸손) leads to a stress-free and fulfilling life, even in difficult circumstances. He illustrates this with the example of a humble worker who finds joy in labor and is rewarded with continuous opportunities. This highlights the absolute value of character over external conditions.
왜 이 사람은 겸손하냐? 나한테 일을 시켜 주는 것만도 고맙다. 일이 힘든다 안 든다? 이거는 있어 없어? 없어요. 그거는 삽을 들 때마다 자식 얼굴이 떠오르는 거야. 삽을 한 번 일을 할 때마다 자식이 떠오르니까 힘이 들어 안 들어? 안 들어요. 내가 부모님을 모시고 있으니까 열심히 일을 해야 돼. 그러면 일이 즐거운 거야.
Why is this person humble? They are grateful just to be given work. Is the work hard ? Is there such a thing? No. Every time they lift the shovel, their children’s faces come to mind. Every time they work with the shovel, their children come to mind, so is it hard ? It’s not hard. I have to work hard because I’m taking care of my parents. Then the work is enjoyable.
그러니깐 겸손한 자는 아무리 험악한 일을 시켜도 감사하게 생각하는 거야. 그래서 겸손한 자는 이거 있어? 없어요. 이 사람 안 써도 오래 살아, 안 살아? 웃는다고 되는 게 아니에요. 안 웃어도 이 사람은 오래 살아요.
a humble person is grateful no matter how harsh the work they are given. does a humble person have this (stress)? No. Does this person live long even if they don’t use it (stress)? It’s not about laughing. Even if they don’t laugh, this person lives long.
일을 즐겁게 한다 이 말이에요. 근데 다른 사람은 자꾸 시계를 들여다봐. 근데 걔는 팔뚝에 시계가 있어, 없어? 없어요. 주인이 그만하라 할 때까지 하는 거야.
It means they enjoy their work. But others keep looking at their watches. But does that person have a watch on their wrist? No. They work until the owner tells them to stop.
The Absolute Nature of Filial Piety and Humility
filial piety (효도) and humility are absolute values that transcend time and cultural changes. these virtues are fundamental to human existence and are recognized by heaven, leading to blessings regardless of external circumstances. This emphasizes the timeless importance of core human values.
아버지와 어머니, 할머니, 할아버지, 조상은 절대성이에요. 몇억 년 간다 해서 자기 아버지 보고 아들아 그러겠어요? 아버지를 아버지라 부르지, 그거는 바뀌어, 안 바뀌어? 효도는요, 몇천 년을 가도 절대성을 가지고 있어.
Father and mother, grandmother, grandfather, ancestors are absolute. Even if billions of years pass, would you call your father “son”? You call your father “father,” does that change? Filial piety has an absolute quality even after thousands of years.
우리는 그래서 효도가 무섭다는 거야. 효도가 안 바뀌어요.
That’s why we say filial piety is fearsome. Filial piety doesn’t change.
그래서 효도가 뭐냐? 백행의 근본이야. 효도, 겸손 이런 건 절대성을 가지고 있어요. 모든 병을 물리치고, 재앙을 물리치고, 부적을 물리치고, 종교를 초월하고, 모든 겸손하기만 하면 신앙을 안 가지던, 종교를 안 믿든, . 모든 것이 통과야.
what is filial piety? It is the root of all good deeds. Filial piety, humility—these have absolute qualities. They ward off all diseases, disasters, evil charms, transcend religion, and if one is simply humble, whether they have faith or not, whether they believe in religion or not. Everything passes.
Heaven’s Absolute Judgment: Focusing on Love and Good Deeds
He explains that heaven judges individuals based on absolute standards, not relative comparisons. Heaven doesn’t rank sins but rather looks at the good deeds and love one has shown. This judgment is continuous, happening every second, and accumulates in one’s genes, determining their destiny. This offers a unique perspective on divine judgment and personal responsibility.
하늘은 죄를 평가할 때도 뭘 해요? 절대성으로, 상대적으로 안 한다. 절대성으로. 너는 모든 70억 인간이 진 죄를 하늘이 이렇게 보니까 거의 다 50점이야, . 그래서 죄를 가지고 인간을 평가하는 데는 애로 사항이 있어? 애로 사항이 있단 말이야. 그래서 하늘은 절대성으로 인간을 평가하기 때문에 70억 인구 중에 죄를 진 사람이 네가 랭킹 몇 번이다, 이런 거 매겨, 안 매겨? 안 매기고 모든 인간들이 죄를 평균적으로 50점 정도 지으면, 너는 그 중에서 착한 일을 한 게 뭐가 있느냐, 이래서 하늘이 평가하는 거는 죄에서 점수를 많이 줄까, 사랑해서 많이 줄까? 여기서 점수를 많이 줍니다.
When heaven evaluates sin, what does it do? It does so with absoluteness, not relatively. With absoluteness. When heaven looks at all the sins committed by 7 billion humans, almost everyone gets 50 points. there are difficulties in evaluating humans based on sin, aren’t there? There are difficulties. because heaven evaluates humans with absoluteness, it doesn’t rank you as “number X” among 7 billion people who have sinned, does it? It doesn’t. If all humans commit an average of about 50 points of sin, heaven asks, “What good deeds have you done among those?” when heaven evaluates, does it give more points for sin or for love? It gives more points for love.
그래서 인간들은 죄는 누구나 이빠이씩 짓고 와요. 이빠이씩 짓고 오니까 그 사람들의 죄를 봐, 안 봐? 죄는 안 보고 이 사람이 뭘 한 게 있느냐, 뭘 환전한 게 있느냐, 뭘 하늘을 위해서 이웃을 위해서 좋은 일을 한 게 있느냐, 그것만 엄청나게 두드러져요.
humans all commit a lot of sins. Since they all commit a lot of sins, does it look at their sins? It doesn’t look at sins, but rather what good deeds this person has done, what they have exchanged, what good things they have done for heaven and for their neighbors—only those things stand out tremendously.
그런데 하늘은 이렇게 인간을 모아서 심판할까, 매일 심판할까? 바로 매일 이 점수를 심판해, 매일 1초 단위로, 1초 단위로, 초 단위로.
But does heaven gather humans and judge them like this, or does it judge them daily? It judges these scores daily, every second, every second, every second.
Huh Kyung-young’s Vision for Korea
Agricultural New Deal and Rural Revitalization
Huh Kyung-young proposes an “Agricultural New Deal” to revitalize rural areas and create jobs. He envisions converting 폐교 (closed schools) into New Deal complexes, providing employment and housing for millions, and fostering a healthier environment for children. This plan aims to address unemployment and promote a return to nature-based living.
내가 우리나라 애들을 지금 걱정하는 거는 우리나라의 우리나라가 앞으로 건강해지려면 내가 농업 뉴딜을 하겠죠. 대통령 되면 농업 뉴딜을 해 가지고 뉴딜 단지를 1000개 이상 만들어 전국에. 지금의 폐교된 초등학교 있죠? 이 초등학교가 우리나라 경제를 이끌어가는 모든 인물들이 다니는 학교.
What I’m worried about for our children now is that if our country is to become healthy in the future, I will implement an agricultural New Deal. When I become president, I will create over 1,000 New Deal complexes nationwide through an agricultural New Deal. You know the elementary schools that are currently closed? These elementary schools are the schools that all the figures who lead our economy attended.
그래서 나는 대통령이 되면은 농업 뉴딜 정책을 해가지고, 적어도 우리나라의 시골로 가고 싶은 사람은 1000개 단지에 500만 명 이상이 수용 돼요. 500만 명 이상이 고용돼. 그래 이 사람들이 농사를 짓게 해 주고 월급을 줘요.
when I become president, I will implement an agricultural New Deal policy, and at least 5 million people who want to go to the countryside in Korea will be accommodated in 1,000 complexes. Over 5 million people will be employed. And these people will be allowed to farm and will be paid a salary.
그리고 이 농업 뉴딜 단지를 해 가지고, 여기 그냥 애들 데리고 가서 그냥 애들하고 살려면 여기 초등학교, 시골 초등학교 만 원이 돼. 그래서 여기서 애들이 맨발로 커야 돼. 흙밭에서 그러면 이렇게 할 필요 없어. 이렇게 안 해도 우리 국민이 건강해져요.
And with these agricultural New Deal complexes, if you just take your children there and live with them, these elementary schools, these rural elementary schools, will be full. children should grow up barefoot here. In the dirt fields, then there’s no need to do this. Even without this, our people will become healthy.
National Dividend System
He proposes a “National Dividend System” where every citizen receives an annual interest payment on their share of the national wealth. He calculates that each Korean citizen effectively owns 1.3 billion won of national assets, and he plans to distribute interest on 1 billion won of that to stimulate the economy and improve citizens’ quality of life. This is a bold economic policy aimed at direct wealth distribution.
국가 한 사람이 국가의 13억을 가지고 있죠. 국가가 가지고 있는 재산이 전체 얼마예요? 왜 아무도 몰라요? 그게 자기 재산이에요. 7경이에요. 그래 가지고 우리 5천만을 나눠봐요. 5천만을 나누면 13억이에요.
Each person in the nation holds 1.3 billion (won) of the nation’s assets. What is the total national wealth of our country? Why does no one know? That is your asset. It’s 7 quadrillion. let’s divide it by our 50 million people. If you divide 7 quadrillion by 50 million, it’s 1.3 billion.
그래서 나는 13억에 대한 이자를 앞으로 지급하겠다, 이거예요. 이걸 국민 배당이라고 그래요. 국민 배당제, 국민 배당을 실시하겠다. 그래서 이걸 13억이라고 하지 말고 간단하게 10억에 대한 이자를 주는 거예요. 그래서 은행 이자 정도의 돈을 매년 여러분들의 통장에다가 넣어 주겠다는 거예요.
I will pay interest on 1.3 billion (won) in the future. This is called the national dividend. The national dividend system, I will implement the national dividend. instead of calling it 1.3 billion, I will simply give interest on 1 billion. I will deposit an amount equivalent to bank interest into your accounts every year.
