He recounts a story about a woman who took a taxi at 10 PM in front of Jung-ang University Hospital in Yongsan .
The taxi driver took her to a military supply depot in Yongsan, where there was an alley leading to a gate .
This incident is recorded at the Yongsan Police Station, involving about 50 similar cases .
The woman would ask the taxi driver to look at her ring, then claim she had no money for the fare .
The same woman would repeatedly take different taxi drivers to the same location .
The police found this unusual .
The woman would give her home address, which was a house on a hill .
People who went there for the first time found it strange, as if a funeral was happening at 1 AM .
The woman had been doing this for decades .
Taxi drivers were being exploited .
This story was even published in newspapers .
He explains that the woman who died was not actually dead, but was a ghost .
The ghost would offer money, but nothing would come out .
Taxi drivers who entered the house would be beaten .
If no one came out, the ghost would ask if they were crazy .
He explains that this is an old story, and such beings always follow people .
He warns that if one is too greedy, they will be taken by the ghost .
The ghost would not pay the fare, so the driver would have to return .
Upon returning, the ghost would appear and scare the driver .
He states that this is a lesson about not being greedy .

The 4th dimension exists, and if someone enters it, they become invisible .
He states that people cannot see the 4th dimension .
He clarifies that the ghost was not a human but a 4th-dimensional being .
spiritual phenomena occur in the 4th dimension .
In the 4th dimension, one can do anything they wish, unlike in the 3rd dimension where there are limitations .

He emphasizes that he is here to teach about experience and truth .

He calls the belief that the human mind controls everything “Chakgak” (delusion) .
He states that true faith is about believing in God’s control .
He emphasizes that his teachings are the “truth” .

He states that the creator exists in a higher dimension .
He explains that from the 4th dimension onwards, everything falls under “Yusimnon” .
He describes how shamans (mudang) can connect with spirits .
He recounts an incident where he was invited to a meal and people were calling him “Vice President” .

The psychiatrist realized it was a spiritual issue and gave her water, which she refused .
He explains that this shows the power of spiritual beings .
He criticizes scientists who deny “Yusimnon” .

He emphasizes that one should not say that God is within them .
He reiterates the story of the woman in Yongsan as an example of a real spiritual phenomenon .

He criticizes those who claim God is within them as denying God .
He explains that God does not feel wronged or accused .

He reiterates that Jesus’ statement about the Kingdom of God being within us was a misunderstanding .
He emphasizes the importance of his words .
He explains that “Yusimnon” (mind-only theory), as in the Heart Sutra, claims that the mind determines everything .
He introduces three conditions for human happiness .
The first is “Guhyeon Haengbok” (realization happiness), which is achieving goals .

The second is “Woncheon Haengbok” (original happiness), which means being born happy .
He explains that everyone already possesses this happiness .
He advises working with this original happiness as a foundation .
He criticizes those who claim to be happy without achieving anything as arrogant .

He states that working with this foundation leads to success .
He explains that these three types of happiness are the key to human well-being .
He introduces “Chowol Haengbok” (transcendent happiness), which is achieved by transcending the mind .

He explains that those who achieve transcendent happiness and original happiness will succeed in everything .
He criticizes people for lacking these two types of happiness and only focusing on realization happiness .
He introduces the “three sufferings” of humanity .
The first is the suffering of having to be with those you love .
The second is the suffering of having to be with those you hate .
He explains that people often cannot tolerate this .
He states that what we like often goes away, and what we dislike often follows us .
He emphasizes that philosophy does not address these sufferings .
He states that human suffering comes from not knowing original happiness .
He explains that “Guhyeon” (realization) means that what you seek cannot be obtained .
