2025.01.04. Saturday. Daily Message. Transcend the Five Desires. From Instinct to Reason, Reason to Spirituality.

[Human Desire, Enlightenment, Spiritual Growth, Karma, Transcendence, Selflessness, True Happiness]

1. The Ephemeral Nature of Fame and Position.

Fame and high positions, though seemingly desirable, ultimately fail to bring true joy. Those who ascend to great heights inevitably face a descent. Historical figures like Yu Gwan-sun, who died in prison, only had their names recognized after their passing. While alive, their fame brought little personal enjoyment. Political positions, often lasting only a few years, frequently lead to disgrace or imprisonment upon their conclusion. The pursuit of such transient glory, as exemplified by the tragic end of former President Roh Moo-hyun, does not lead to happiness.

True contentment lies in anonymity. A person unknown to the world experiences genuine joy. Even a king, burdened by the constant threat of assassination and the complexities of court life, might envy the simple, harmonious life of a farmer and his wife sharing a meal in the fields. The king’s life is a constant prison, surrounded by political intrigue and the demands of numerous concubines, each vying for influence. Such a life, whether with or without a partner, is fraught with problems. Therefore, human fame and position are not sources of lasting happiness.

Anonymity is a source of strength and security. In times of conflict, those with prominent names are often targeted, while the unknown remain safe. This principle applies universally: those who are not entangled in the pursuit of worldly recognition live more securely.

2. Transcending the Five Desires.

The five desires—materialism, lust, gluttony, sleep, and ambition—are rooted in primal instincts. The Korean character for “desire” (yok) inherently contains the character for “heart”( sim) beneath it, signifying that these desires originate from the heart. These are not refined aspirations but raw, untamed urges.

To achieve a higher state of being, one must transcend these instinctive desires. When the “heart” is removed from these desires, they transform into noble aspirations, such as the desire to help others. This shift from instinct to reason is crucial.

Instinctive emotions are characterized by joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, love, hate, and desire. Those who are enslaved by these seven emotions are driven by their primal nature. However, through self-cultivation and spiritual discipline, individuals can shed these instincts and embrace reason. This transformation leads to compassion, where one recognizes the suffering of those still bound by the five desires.

For example, a child driven by instinct will immediately grab a piece of bread. In contrast, someone who has cultivated reason will wait for others to eat first, taking only what remains. This demonstrates the profound difference between instinctive and rational behavior. Just as a professor might defer to others, acknowledging their potential hunger, we must transform our instincts into reason.

3. The Journey from Instinct to Spirituality.

The path of human development progresses from instinct to reason, and then from reason to spirituality.

Religious philosophies often operate within the realm of reason. Buddhism, for instance, is a philosophy focused on finding one’s own mind, while Christianity seeks God. Both are quests for understanding, one internal and one external. However, a higher, “super-religion” transcends both by offering a direct encounter with the divine. This is akin to a chick breaking free from its shell to meet its owner, symbolizing a direct relationship with the divine rather than merely searching for it.

The concept of “what is meant to happen will happen” (sa-pil-gwi-jeong) is rooted in the Buddhist principle of cause and effect (in-gwa). Every action has a consequence, and every consequence has a cause. This is also known as karma or “upjang” . The universe operates on this principle: “if this exists, that exists; if that exists, this exists.”

To escape this cycle of cause and effect, one must reduce their karma. While instinctive actions increase karma, moving into the realm of reason begins to mitigate it. Further ascension into the spiritual realm allows one to completely transcend karma. For example, giving to others without any expectation or thought of having given creates no karma. This is the essence of “eung-mu-so-ju-i-saeng-sim”, meaning “to dwell on nothing and yet give rise to the mind.”

4. The Criteria for Righteous Action.

In the absence of a direct encounter with the divine, the fundamental criterion for distinguishing right from wrong, good from evil, is simple: does an action benefit others?

• Righteousness and Goodness: If an action benefits others, it is righteous and good.
• Wrongdoing and Evil: If an action harms others but benefits oneself, it is wrong and evil.
  This principle provides a clear moral compass. Living a life dedicated to the well-being of others defines a virtuous person, while a life solely focused on self-interest defines a wicked one. However, in the highest spiritual state, as taught by figures like Sakyamuni, good and evil merge into one. In this state, one performs good deeds without acknowledging them as such, transcending the duality of good and evil.

Ultimately, clinging to the visible world leads to regret. True satisfaction comes from simple contentment, such as having three meals a day. This prepares one for the unseen world, for White Heaven. The physical world is inherently flawed, subject to decay, illness, and suffering. Relationships, though initially joyful, can become sources of immense pain and burden due to the impermanence of the human body.

Therefore, it is essential to detach from worldly attachments and focus on spiritual growth. This perspective allows one to navigate life’s challenges with peace and prepare for a higher existence.

2025.01.04. Saturday. Toyo Gang-yon. 1473 Huh Kyung-young’s Wisdom for a Brighter Year.

[Humor, Health, Reflection, Spirituality, Prophecy, Mindset, Self-improvement]

1. The Power of Laughter: A Miraculous Cure.

Welcome to the first Saturday lecture of the Year of Gapjin. I wish you all prosperity and blessings from the Holy Man. Religion is when humans seek God, but true religion is when God directly seeks to save humanity. We, chosen by the Holy Man Huh Management, have received an incomparable blessing. Today, we will begin the 1473rd Saturday lecture with the Holy Man Huh Management, who will deliver profound spiritual wisdom.

I often make intentional mistakes to test your attentiveness. When I make an incorrect statement and you correct it, what is that called? It is a test of your focus.

Let us reflect on the Year of Gapjin. By reviewing the past year, we ensure that the current year, the Year of Eulsa, proceeds without fault. I deliberately stated that this is the first lecture of the Year of Gapjin to see if you were paying attention.

There was a man suffering from terminal cancer and severe diabetes, which caused his vision to fluctuate. When he could see, the world appeared incredibly new and beautiful; when he could not, it was equally astonishing. Medications for his eyes worsened his cancer, and cancer treatments deteriorated his vision. He was in immense pain, with no hope of recovery.

However, his cancer miraculously disappeared. His high school son unexpectedly impregnated a peer. The son sought his father’s advice, revealing the girl was five months pregnant. The father, unable to scold him, was at a loss. As the father was dying from cancer, his son brought the pregnant girl home to live with them. Their home, already in disarray due to the father’s illness, was further disrupted.

Within a few months, a son was born. The man, who had not smiled once during his ten years of illness, found immense joy in watching his grandson. He spent his days laughing and gazing at the child, unable to go anywhere else. Eventually, his cancer completely vanished.

He had been without joy, without a reason to live, enduring constant pain. He merely existed, unable to die. But then his son’s child was born. Watching the baby, he laughed for the first time. His face, once devoid of expression and hope, softened. He had forgotten what it felt like to laugh, having lost all will to live.

He had believed his son had ruined the family, bringing shame upon them. Yet, after the child’s birth, his health began to improve. He did not even notice it at first, so engrossed was he in laughing with the baby. A year later, another child, a daughter, was born, followed by another daughter the year after. He now had one son and two daughters. As he watched these three children, his illnesses, including cancer, disappeared. Doctors had deemed his condition incurable, given his diabetes and cancer. But his son and two daughters, born to his healthy young daughter-in-law in successive years, brought about his complete recovery.

Before his son’s child was born, the father underwent dialysis every two or three days. His body was failing, and he was not expected to live. Yet, he recovered simply by laughing. This was not a spiritual intervention from me; it was the sheer joy of seeing his grandchild. For someone who had no hope, seeing a child brought a renewed will to live. This is where the change began in his body.

We must cultivate bright thoughts. Dark thoughts are an invitation to cancer. No matter how wealthy one is, if afflicted by cancer, money cannot be spent, nor can life be lived or cured. Therefore, what is true wealth? Laughter is wealth. This year, the Year of Eulsa, we must laugh.

Do not worry about national affairs; Heaven will take care of them. Your role is to be diligent in your own responsibilities. The intellectuals, politicians, and leaders will manage national matters. Do not harbor desires for others’ power or meddle in their affairs. Those who grasp power rarely hold it for long; there is a saying that no red flower lasts ten days.

As I lectured this morning, I spoke of “Myeong-ye” (fame, honor). Those who pursue fame find no true joy. True joy lies in “무명” (anonymity). When one holds a high position, genuine happiness is elusive. Real joy is found in obscurity.

Consider the man again. His high school son brought home a pregnant girl, who eventually bore him three children. He had never dreamed of such a thing. He was on the verge of death, with no hope. His vision was failing, he was on dialysis, and he had cancer. It was the end. Yet, after three years of simply watching his grandchildren, everything changed. Even a terminal illness can be cured by meeting a Holy Man, but one can also heal oneself by laughing heartily.

He had no worldly desires. He was simply happy watching the children. He was “poor in spirit,” believing he had nothing left but death. But when that poverty of spirit is combined with laughter, complete healing occurs.

Fame does not bring true joy. True joy resides in the state of anonymity. A woman who divorces her husband after a lifetime of quarrels might find initial joy in her newfound anonymity. She sheds the “wife” title, which often brings conflict. While some claim happiness in such a role, it is often a falsehood. Similarly, the initial relief after a spouse’s death or divorce can feel like freedom. However, the deeper meaning is to not covet high positions, as their fate is unpredictable.

Just as Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam were on the verge of becoming president, an unexpected figure, President Park Chung-hee, emerged. When they were promoting younger leaders in their 40s, Park appeared, and everything changed. This is the history of Korea. Unexpected events occur.

Our health is not solely determined by doctors. The man in the story visited countless hospitals, but he recovered by laughing with his grandchildren. His son, who was only 16, had a child, an unimaginable event for the father. The son, unable to pursue further education, became a tile worker to support his family, as his father was ill. He became the head of the household early, learning a trade. Raising his children brought him joy. His children saved his father and their entire family.

Therefore, we should not place too much importance on external honors. Fame lasts at most ten years, power ten years, and a ministerial position perhaps one year. These come with immense suffering.

Imagine someone giving you twenty gold bars, with the instruction to keep them secret and sell them only when needed. Would this bring joy or anxiety? You would worry about where to hide them. If your wife found them, it could be dangerous. She might disappear with them. So, what seems like a good thing can turn into a burden.

But in the story, the son, who should have been studying, brought home a pregnant girl. This seemingly disastrous event saved his father. The father, a disabled person on dialysis, received disability benefits. The son, a high school student, could not earn much. Yet, the arrival of the three “angels” (his grandchildren) completely transformed their household. The father’s body changed without him even realizing it. This is not a lie; it is a true story.

So, when life feels bleak, do not despair. Your time will come. You have met the Holy Man. You never know where hope will emerge; it is everywhere. If the father had cursed his son for impregnating a girl at such a young age, his illness would have worsened, and he would have died. But he accepted his son’s situation, saying, “My son’s sin is my sin. Since you’ve had a child, bring the girl home and live here.”

Strangely, they were about to be evicted from their rented house due to debt, with nowhere to go. But because his son had a child, the government provided housing assistance. The housing problem was miraculously solved. The children also brought other benefits from the district office. The father realized that his housing problem was solved because of his grandchildren. They were told to vacate their dilapidated rental house for repairs, but the children’s arrival led to them being prioritized for government housing. They received many benefits, and their lives completely changed.

Life is full of unexpected solutions. The father could not work; he was critically ill and disabled. His son was a high school student. Who would earn money? But the daughter-in-law came and bore children, turning their household around. The son immediately became a tile worker, earning good wages. The housing benefits were a priority from the government because of the children. It was truly miraculous. The man never imagined his life would turn out this way. He had never dreamed of living in such an apartment, constantly burdened by medical expenses. Who solved this? His son, by getting a girl pregnant. The girl was sent to live with her husband’s family.

This was like a pumpkin rolling into their lives. At first, they were ashamed, but then they realized how everything was falling into place. Their living expenses became sufficient, their housing problem was solved, and the man’s worries disappeared. Eventually, his illness vanished, and he stopped dialysis, returning to normal.

This shows that life cannot be calculated solely by numbers. Solutions often come from unexpected places. Their family transformed from despair to hope. Meeting a bright and cheerful Holy Man is truly remarkable. He not only heals but also provides energy. When you are happy, you heal yourself. You are happy to come here, even if you have to kick away those who try to stop you. You are happy even if you are beaten for coming, because it is better than not coming at all. You come prepared to be beaten. If you laugh here and then get beaten, you will not get sick.

2. The Principle of “Hoegwang Banjo” (Reflecting on the Past).

“Hoegwang Banjo” means to reflect on the past. It refers to light shining back to its origin. There is a place in Haenam, Gwangju, Jeollanam-do, called Duryunsan, which is a “Hoegwang Banjo” site in Feng Shui. Duryunsan means “the mountain that turns back.” It is an abbreviation of “Baekdusan,” meaning the dragon that descended from Baekdusan turns its head. When you see a mountain name, you should interpret it this way. Duryunsan means looking back at Baekdusan. Since it reaches Haenam, the sea, it cannot go further. So, the mountain turns back, and its peak faces Baekdusan. I have actually visited this place for Feng Shui. The camellia trees are so dense that it is impossible to pass through them outside the designated paths.

Duryunsan is a “Hoegwang Banjo” site. The term “Haeryong Gojo” means the dragon returns and looks back at its ancestor. I explained this before. The dragon turns back towards Baekdusan because it can go no further. This is the Feng Shui characteristic of Duryunsan. It is also called “Hoegwang Banjo Haeryong,” where light returns to its origin.

We came from the Year of Gapjin. Now, in the Year of Eulsa, we must practice “Hoegwang Banjo,” reflecting on the Year of Gapjin. Only then can we live the Year of Eulsa well. If you simply say, “Oh, the Year of Gapjin was good,” and move on, you might ruin the Year of Eulsa too. When we welcome a new year, we must look back at the past. We must reflect on how we lived the past year. This is our first lecture of the year. You must review all the lectures we have had so far. You must review. The Holy Man is the king of review. I have always reviewed since childhood. My parents never told me to study. I was beaten for studying, my books were thrown into a ditch or burned in a factory. I was beaten for reading books at the factory. It was very different from today. The Holy Man is someone who reviewed repeatedly despite such hardships.

So, Baekdusan went all the way to Haenam and then turned its head to become Duryunsan. There is Daeheungsa Temple there. One branch goes towards Gyeongsang-do, and the other towards Honam. The Baekdu-daegan mountain range ends at Haeundae, and the western branch ends at Haenam. Haeundae Dongbaekseom (Camellia Island) is also interesting.

Now, let’s consider the Year of Eulsa. There were the Eulsa Five Traitors. The March 1st Movement was originally planned for March 3rd by 33 people. However, when they practiced “Hoegwang Banjo,” they realized that March 3rd was the day of Emperor Gojong’s funeral. The funeral was set for a Monday, March 3rd. They had set the date in advance due to slow communication, but Emperor Gojong’s death after their planning caused the overlap.

Among the 33 leaders, 16 were Christians. They felt that March 3rd was an inauspicious day, despite the symbolic significance of 33 people on March 3rd. The funeral was set for Monday, March 3rd, making that date impossible. Buddhists and Confucians among the 33 opposed holding a movement during the national mourning period for the emperor. Christians opposed it on Sunday, March 2nd, as it was the Sabbath. So, Saturday, March 1st, was chosen. The March 1st Movement, though not a complete success, resulted in many casualties. This shows the importance of timing. The date was changed due to religious reasons.

During this period, the Eulsa Five Traitors fled to Japan. They were not in Korea when the March 1st Movement and the funeral occurred. They were quick to escape.

3. The Wisdom of Moderation: Diet, Speech, and Mind.

I speak of “Jeolsik Yangwi” (moderation in eating for stomach health). Those with good stomachs eat little. Overeaters do not have good stomachs. ” Cheongsim Yangsin” (clear mind for spiritual nourishment) means eating little and having a peaceful mind leads to a clear spirit. So, “Jeolsik Yangwi” and “Cheongsim Yangsin” are beneficial for the stomach. Anxiety and restlessness hinder digestion. These are directly connected. Eating too much affects the mind. A clear and pure mind should enter, but we have “소식” (eating small portions) in our ten health precepts. This means eating little to cultivate a clear mind. Eating less keeps the stomach healthy and nurtures the spirit. I have never seen a good student who eats a lot. We call them “food worms.” They are good at telling time, always knowing when it is mealtime.

If we reflect on the past year, did we practice “Jeolsik Yangwi” and “Cheongsim Yangsin”? We might have made mistakes. We need to look back now. Did I overeat somewhere? Did I eat too much grilled meat? That is dangerous. Overeating meat can lead to colon cancer. Meat should be eaten in moderation. We must not repeat such mistakes this year. This applies not only to food but to all aspects of our minds.

This year, we must be careful. “Gubok Buljeon” (guarding the mouth) means being careful with what you say. “Jeolsik” is about food, and “Gubok” is about speech. Be careful with your words. The mouth is the cause of illness. If you constantly argue with your spouse, your blood vessels could burst at any moment. People get into trouble because of what they say. Words can cause chaos.

How important is speech? Just as eating is important, we must reflect on our speech this year. People are rushed to the hospital with burst blood vessels from arguing. When we fight with others, we are punished. If you fight fiercely and hate others intensely, your blood vessels can burst. Even if they do not burst immediately, they will eventually. So, if you yell and curse at others, your blood vessels are not safe. It becomes the cause of illness. Therefore, control your mouth to manage the cause of illness. Eat little and be careful with your words. This is what we must do this year.

Even if others curse Heaven or me, we must be careful with our words. If someone criticizes you, consider it an opportunity for self-reflection. Why do they curse me? This is “Hoegwang Banjo.” If you respond with anger, you will get sick. So, we must practice “Hoegwang Banjo” for the past year. Listen carefully to the Holy Man’s lectures again. Review last year’s lectures whenever you have time. Do not watch public or terrestrial broadcasts. You will be punished by Heaven. Heaven is watching. You can live without watching such things. But the Holy Man’s lectures contain everything. Why? Because those who were condemned as “bad people” on TV are later found innocent. Many people are ruined, and some even commit suicide, even if they are innocent. Our law states that one is innocent until proven guilty, but the media often labels people as criminals before judgment. Many suffer because of this. This year, you must not do such things. There is no need to watch useless things.

4. The Healing Power of Laughter and Positive Mindset.

Joy comes from laughter. Worry is the opposite of laughter. Worry is the root of death. The man in the story was constantly worried about his illness, thinking about his injections and pain. But with the baby, he forgot to take his medicine. He would laugh, feed the baby, and forget his medication. Doctors told him to try to laugh, but he said he had no reason to. He had lost the ability to laugh. He had no hope. His vision, which fluctuated due to severe diabetes, eventually returned to normal because of the baby. Everything became normal. This is amazing. Good hormones must have been released as he looked at the baby. Mothers who have raised children understand this. No matter how tired they are, feeding the baby instantly relieves their fatigue. Mothers used to say that even after working hard in the fields, feeding their ten children would make all their worries disappear. Their minds would become clear.

When a baby’s tongue touches the mother, she returns to her maternal instincts. If a mother harbors negative thoughts while breastfeeding, toxins can be released into the milk. Maternal love automatically blocks these toxins. If a mother thinks about arguing with her mother-in-law while breastfeeding, the baby can become irritable because the milk is not good. So, mothers’ negative thoughts are blocked when they breastfeed because the genes must be good. This happens automatically, and emotions subside. This is a natural function.

We realize we have lived the year poorly. These are very important words. “Geumil Bujin Joeak ” (Today’s idleness is sin). If we live today poorly, we accumulate sins like mountains. This happens every day. If we live this year idly without “Hoegwang Banjo,” we accumulate endless worries. These worries can cause cancer. The man in the story, with his failing vision, dialysis, and cancer, also faced eviction with no money and nowhere to go. He had no hope until his son brought home the baby. He had no reason to live, wishing for death due to intense pain. But suddenly, the baby appeared, taking away all his worries. As he watched the baby, his worries disappeared, and his body followed suit. We call this a miracle. Our minds can also create miracles if used well. These are not spiritual miracles from the Holy Man, but miracles that occur when we use our minds well.

5. Absolute Education and Compassionate Leadership.

The mind is emotion, sensibility. Transforming sensibility into reason is what studying is about. Sensibility has seven aspects: joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, love, hate, and desire. Reason has four aspects: compassion, shame, deference, and right and wrong. If you see someone you hate, but your mind has been cultivated through spiritual practice, it transforms into reason. Then, that hateful person appears pitiable. This is compassion.

Our education system has both absolute and relative education. Relative education compares students’ grades, ranking them first or fiftieth in a class. This type of education is harmful to children. We need absolute education. Absolute education is about competing with oneself. Relative education is about competing with others, comparing one’s scores. This stimulates negative desires and emotions. Absolute education, however, stimulates reason. If you run 100 meters in 10 seconds, that is an absolute achievement. You do not care if others are ahead or behind you. You only focus on improving your own record. If you improve your time by 0.9 seconds, you have succeeded. It does not matter what time others achieved. This is about your personal record. What is your 100-meter record? That is your score. Being first in a race with others is meaningless. We have harmed many children with relative education. Saying, “I’m 48th in my class,” is wrong.

With absolute education, if you cultivate reason by refining your emotions, it becomes reason. If you cultivate reason, it becomes spirituality. Those who have reached the spiritual stage are like people from Heaven. Reason, with its compassion, shame, deference, and sense of right and wrong, makes you see others as pitiable. You no longer compete with them.

Imagine you are at a job interview, and there are 20 applicants for two positions. You realize that 18 people will be disappointed. You wonder how their parents will feel, knowing their children came with dreams, dressed in suits, perhaps without a proper meal. You question whether you should compete fiercely to be one of the two chosen. This compassionate mindset is what leads to success. If you think of others as rivals and believe you must win, you will surely fail. Having compassion does not mean you fall behind. Those with such a mindset rise higher and higher; they advance. You rise without competing. This is how leaders are made. Leaders are not arrogant; they are humble.

In the West, such freedom is important. I am sitting here to meet your eye level. It is more comfortable, like an old man in a real estate office. Standing can be intimidating, but sitting makes us equal.

I once sat like this, and someone criticized me for sitting on a table. Everything happens through quantum vibrations.

6. Prophecies and the Spiritual Awakening of Korea.

I prophesied that Trump would become president of the United States. The Holy Man is number one in prophecies worldwide, but I do not make useless prophecies. I also said there was a risk of assassination for Trump. An American pastor also mentioned this, citing various signs. This pastor also said to watch Korea, that someone would come from Korea. I will show you his message.

This pastor said that he started a channel for Koreans because the Lord told him to. He said to watch Korea because something is coming. This is the same person who spoke about Trump being shot on YouTube. This message was sent to me from the US.

He said there would be political pressure and challenges for Koreans, and they would need to hear God’s word more than ever. He quoted the Bible, saying, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” He said we are seated in heavenly places with Christ, above all powers and authorities, and have authority over evil spirits. We must understand who we are in Christ for the days ahead.

The Lord told him to continue broadcasting and create a YouTube channel for Koreans because he saw a strong wave of the Lord’s presence for the Korean people. He said a powerful presence of Jesus is coming to Korea. So, he is broadcasting for Korea. This means they have already detected my presence.

He said the Lord was awakening them because many had fallen asleep and become lukewarm. The Lord told him to go to Korea and tell His people that there would be a great revival starting in Korea and spreading to North Korea. He saw a powerful revival in North Korea and the fire of the Holy Spirit flowing across Korea, China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The Holy Man’s presence is being detected by these people, and it will spread worldwide, like a powerful fire of the Holy Spirit across Asia. He believes that everyone watching now has been placed in God’s kingdom for such a time as this.

Greater things will happen. You will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. You will cast out evil spirits. The blind will see, and the deaf will hear. He believes that in these last days, it is more important than ever to be awakened, filled with the Holy Spirit, and led by the Holy Spirit. God has a plan for each of you. It is no coincidence that you clicked on this show today, because God commanded you. You, right there at home, watching on your phone, have everything you need. God has raised you up for such a time as this, and you will be witnesses to everyone you encounter. The glory of the Lord will shine on your face. The light of Jesus will shine brightly from you. The amazing presence of the Lord is coming into your lives. You will do great things for Him.

He is excited about this because the Lord told him about the Asian people, who seem like a forgotten people. They are very oppressed, religiously and in terms of Christianity, across China, Japan, and everywhere. The Lord told him they are not forgotten. He said, “I will visit Asia.” He even showed him North Korea. He said they would try to bring a communist government to South Korea. The oppression in North Korea will try to affect South Korea. As believers, you must stand against this. This is an evil mission to suppress and block the freedom of faith, the possibility of believing in God and Jesus. We are attracting evil information. So, we must stand against this. No weapon formed against South Korea will prosper. You will rise, declare, and pray. The Bible says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” He deeply believes this scripture. He sees it being fulfilled in the United States now. We are praying for our leaders and government officials. We are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against the powers and rulers of darkness. He believes it is time for Koreans to rise more than ever, because the devil is coming.

This person has a feeling about Korea. He senses that something important is happening in Korea. He has detected my presence. He says the Holy Man is coming to the Korean Peninsula and that he should broadcast for Korea. This is interesting, isn’t it? There are signs. I came a long time ago, but now these signs are appearing. Before, I only gave lectures. Now, I am building the New Jerusalem. People cannot know the Holy Man, but they have feelings. So, American pastors also believe that something will appear in Korea. They are implicitly saying that the one who returns will appear on the Korean Peninsula, not elsewhere.

Today, we have learned about “Hoegwang Banjo.” You must remember what I said: you must laugh. Always be bright and positive. Practice “Jeolsik Yangwi” (moderation in eating for stomach health), always eating little to empty your stomach. And “Cheongsim Yangsin” (clear mind for spiritual nourishment). These three things I have mentioned are for us to reflect on the past and prepare for the future.

I enjoy listening to songs. Listening to these songs will make all illnesses disappear. It is similar to watching a child. It is a good image.

2025.01.05. Sunday. HAN. 388 Huh Kyung-young’s Haneulgung Lecture. From the Secrets of Korean Geography to the Meaning of Life and Death .

[Haneulgung, Korean Feng Shui , Spiritual Insights , Philosophy of Existence, Religious Interpretation, Societal Diagnosis]

1 . The Sacred Land of Haneulgung and the Power of the Holy Man.

Welcome to Haneulgung, a sacred land where the energy of the White Heaven, spanning 12 billion light-years, converges. Stepping upon this ground is believed to transform one’s fortune and destiny. This is the first Sunday lecture of the new year. When the name of Huh Gung Yeong is applied to any substance, it prevents decay. For instance, consuming “Elixir Milk,” which bears the name of Huh Gung Yeong or an image of the Holy Man, is said to strengthen both mind and body. Furthermore, the “Anbang Gwangcheon Baekgongju,” a miraculous spring water that emerged from the Haneulgung Mogan by the Holy Man’s command, passes through the throat and skin cell membranes, leading to numerous reported experiences. This Anbang Gwangcheon Baekgongju and the Elixir Milk serve as proof of the Holy Man’s divine nature, demonstrating the unified field that Einstein so diligently sought. Today, the Holy Man, who governs the cosmos, hosts the 388th Haneulgung event to communicate with us.

2. The Significance of Offering and Timeliness.

A person is present today to offer a gratitude orchid to the Holy Man. Ambassador Lee Hae-yoon, representing Asia, has presented this orchid to the Holy Man. The act of offering flowers on the first Sunday lecture of the year is considered highly significant. Those who seize such opportune moments, like the Japanese and people from Daegu, are wise. Out of 54 lecture days in a year, being the first to offer flowers ensures remembrance. This strategic timing is a key point. For example, Lee Hae-yoon, whose name means “shining like the sea,” understands how to make her presence shine, not just through her name but also by choosing historically significant moments for her offerings.

3. The Korean Peninsula: A Land of Unique Geography and Spiritual Significance.

The Korean Peninsula is a remarkable land, surrounded by the sea on three sides and featuring a river on the fourth. It is not an island but is connected to the continent. The Amnokgang and Dumangang rivers, with Baekdusan Mountain nestled between them, form a vital connection to China, symbolizing a continuous lifeline. This connection to the continent, a “blood alliance” by land and water, is what gives Korea its strength. From Baekdusan, a lineage of famous mountains descends: Geumgangsan, Seoraksan, Odaesan, Yongmunsan, Gamaksan, Goryeongsan, Dobongsan, Samgaksan, and Bugaksan. Bugaksan is considered the final peak in this lineage, with Muhaksan to its right, representing the “White Tiger.”

4. The Feng Shui of Seoul and the Royal Palace.

The mountain range descending from Baekdusan splits like an octopus, with Gyeongbokgung Palace situated in the center. The left side of this split is considered the “Blue Dragon.” The mountains surrounding Seoul, such as Inwangsan and Muhaksan, are seen as the “White Tiger.” If a royal palace were built facing south, with the “White Tiger” mountains being significantly higher, it would empower the queen’s family, allowing them to exert control over the royal family. This is why powerful clans like the Gyeongju Chae and Papyeong Yoon families surrounded the royal family.

However, the “Blue Dragon” side, represented by Naksan, is considered weaker. Muhakdaesa, a prominent monk, believed the palace should face east, towards Japan and America, to make Inwangsan and Muhaksan the “Blue Dragon” and the current Bugaksan the “White Tiger,” thus strengthening the “Blue Dragon.” However, King Taejo Yi Seong-gye and Jeong Do-jeon chose a southward orientation, leading to debates about whether to face the sea or the people in the south. This decision, according to some, limited the dynasty’s longevity to 500 years. The lineage of mountains from Baekdusan to Bugaksan, a total of ten generations, is likened to a family tree, with Goryeongsan being the seventh generation, a “great-great-grandfather” mountain, hence its name, meaning “high and spiritual.”

5. The Ultimate Purpose of Human Life: A Good Death.

From the moment of birth, humans are racing towards death. The most challenging task is to die gracefully in front of one’s children, as a dignified father or mother. A poor or undignified death can lead to disrespect from children, shame, and even animosity. Therefore, preparing for a blessed death in front of one’s children is crucial. The Holy Man recounts his mother’s unique passing, which left a profound impression on him even as a child. Her final moments were extraordinary, a testament to the importance of one’s last appearance.

6. The Holy Man’s Birthplace and the Tears of the Sages.

The Holy Man’s birthplace, Junggok-dong, is located where two streams merge: Uicheon and Jungnangcheon. Uicheon, meaning “Cow’s Stream,” is said to carry the tears of Jesus, whose form is seen in Samgaksan Mountain, resembling Jesus crucified. Dobongsan, with its twelve peaks, represents Jesus’s twelve disciples, whose tears flow into Uicheon. Jungnangcheon, on the other hand, is where the tears of Buddha’s ten disciples, represented by the ten peaks of Suraksan Mountain, merge. These two streams, symbolizing the tears of both Eastern and Western sages, converge at Jungnangcheon, where the Holy Man was born, signifying his role in uniting East and West. The name Jungnangcheon itself, with its three strokes in the Chinese character for “cheon” (stream), represents the three streams of tears: Jesus’s, Buddha’s, and the tears from heaven.

7. The Holy Man’s Mother’s Prophetic Farewell.

The Holy Man’s mother passed away in a remarkable manner. She had been ill, but before her death, she locked herself in her room, refusing food. When she finally emerged, she appeared to have recovered, dressed herself in white, combed her hair, and sat upright. She then bowed five times to the Holy Man, instructing her relatives to treat him with the same reverence. This act was a prophetic message, warning them not to treat him as an ordinary child, especially since he was fatherless. Soon after, she announced that someone had come to take her and asked everyone to leave. When they looked back, she was gone. This unusual departure, free from pain and with a clear mind, left a lasting impression on the villagers, who thereafter regarded the Holy Man with awe.

8. The Healing Power of the Holy Man’s Presence.

After his mother’s passing, women in the village, particularly those who had lost their babies and suffered from engorged breasts, sought out the Holy Man. They found that by feeding him, their ailments were cured, and their bodies became healthy. The Holy Man, in turn, grew stronger by consuming their milk. This phenomenon spread by word of mouth, despite attempts to suppress it, establishing the Holy Man’s unique healing abilities from a young age. However, the Holy Man states that his own illnesses cannot be cured by himself, as it is forbidden by the White Heaven.

9. The Illusion of Size and the Universe Within.

The concepts of “big” and “small,” “life” and “death,” are relative and only exist when there is a point of comparison. Without a reference, such distinctions are meaningless. For instance, to a virus, the human body is an entire universe, a vast and intricate space with numerous pathways like nerves and blood vessels. Viruses perceive the human body as a rich environment to inhabit and multiply. This perspective highlights how our understanding of scale is entirely dependent on our frame of reference. Just as we view Earth as a speck from space, viruses view us as a vast, exploitable world.

10. The Future of Medicine and the Microcosm of the Human Body.

Advances in medicine, such as nanotechnology, aim to treat the human body by introducing microscopic robots. This signifies a deeper exploration into the “universe” within us. Such intricate procedures, like brain surgery using nanobots, will likely be incredibly expensive, but they promise to solve many currently incurable diseases, such as kidney failure. This technological progression reflects our ongoing journey into understanding the complex, fractal nature of existence, where the microcosm mirrors the macrocosm.

11. The Philosophical Insights of Samil Singo and the Nature of Heaven.

The Samil Singo, a foundational text of the Korean people, offers profound philosophical insights. It states that the blue sky is not heaven, nor is the dark, mysterious expanse above. It further asserts that heaven has no inherent form or substance. This aligns with the scientific understanding that space is primarily composed of elements like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon, which are not visible forms. Stars and planets exist, but the space itself is formless. This philosophical perspective suggests that the entire universe is a manifestation of the divine, where the creator is the created, and the created is the creator. Just as nature continuously creates new life, humans, in their minds, create concepts of God and divinity. This intricate relationship between creator and created is a complex, fractal reality that science cannot fully grasp.

12. The Fractal Nature of Existence and the Escape from the Body.

The universe operates on a fractal principle, where patterns repeat at different scales. What appears as a vast system at one level might be a mere speck at another. Similarly, the human body, a universe to viruses, is itself a temporary vessel. Viruses, like humans seeking to escape Earth for other galaxies, constantly seek new hosts. They strategize to escape the body before it is cremated, which they perceive as a “fire hell.” This analogy highlights the continuous cycle of life, death, and transformation, where souls, like viruses, seek new “hosts” or forms of existence, escaping the confines of the physical body.

13. The Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and Financial Evolution.

The government’s plan to introduce Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in January next year, starting with retail CBDC through Nonghyup and Industrial Bank of Korea, is a topic of discussion. While CBDC offers advantages like no bank fees and high transparency, concerns about increased government control and surveillance have led some to label it “communist currency.” However, the Holy Man clarifies that CBDC is primarily a settlement tool, not a true currency. It simplifies and speeds up financial transactions, especially international ones, making it more efficient than traditional cash transfers. It is a global consensus, but it is not a replacement for existing currencies like cards, which will remain in use for a long time. The Holy Man warns against blindly investing in new financial instruments like cryptocurrencies or CBDC without understanding their risks, as a single mistake can lead to financial ruin.

14. Blessing the Unborn: A Spiritual Pre-Order.

It is possible to bless an unborn child even before conception. This “pre-order” of blessings can ensure that the child comes into the world free from negative karma or inherited burdens. Just as people in the past would make great efforts and prayers for a child, the Holy Man’s blessing acts as a direct, efficient spiritual intervention. It is like sending a letter to America directly through the post office, rather than traveling there oneself. This spiritual reservation can prevent illnesses or difficult circumstances, ensuring the child is born with a clean slate, free from “invoices” of past debts. This concept extends to the living, where blessings can be given to parents even while they are alive, similar to making a reservation for their spiritual well-being.

15. Miracles, Signs, and Wonders: Tools of Guidance.

The signs, miracles, and wonders mentioned in the Bible are primarily “expedients” or tools to guide and educate humanity towards a better path. Many historical accounts of miracles, like Moses striking a rock for water, lack verifiable evidence. While some sites, like John’s baptismal place, exist, the rock from which Moses drew water has no current water source or historical site. This suggests that some stories may have been orally transmitted or created as parables. The Holy Man emphasizes that such phenomena are not as important as encountering the Holy Man himself. He warns against becoming overly engrossed in such occurrences, as they can lead to delusions or misinterpretations.

16. The Illusion of the Material World and the Escape from “Waste”.

Everything visible in the material world is ultimately transient and destined for decay, like “bean sprouts” or “waste.” Even magnificent buildings and possessions eventually become “garbage.” The material world, though seemingly ordered and beautiful like a diamond, is fundamentally a “waste dump” if not properly managed. The true value lies in the spiritual realm, beyond the physical. Just as viruses seek to escape a dying body, humans must prepare for their “escape” from the earthly realm. The Holy Man’s teachings offer a path to this “planet escape,” guiding people away from the “crematorium” of earthly existence towards the White Heaven.

17. The Memory of Ghosts and the Trauma of Knowledge.

Humans do not remember their past lives, but ghosts do. This memory is what causes them suffering. If a ghost were unaware of its past, it would not experience pain. However, knowing their past, seeing their former homes occupied by others, or their loved ones with new partners, creates immense torment. This knowledge becomes a “trauma” that lingers in their long-term memory. The Holy Man illustrates this with examples of people encountering their parents or professors in compromising situations, leading to lasting psychological scars. Ignorance, in this context, can be a blessing, while knowledge can be a curse.

18. Extraterrestrials and the Law of Conservation of Mass.

The idea of extraterrestrials inhabiting human souls, as suggested by some, is dismissed as science fiction. The Holy Man explains that the law of conservation of mass applies to humans, meaning that a single soul is the norm. If two entities, such as a human and a ghost, inhabit one body, it leads to mental instability and conditions like schizophrenia, as the body struggles to return to its original state. These are not extraterrestrials but rather local spirits or ghosts, as their “cycles” would not align with those from other regions.

19. The Parable of the Unjust Steward and the Nature of Business.

The parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16, which advises making friends with “unrighteous wealth,” is often misunderstood. It is not an endorsement of dishonesty but rather a lesson about the practicalities of the world. The steward, facing dismissal, wisely uses his position to reduce the debts of his master’s debtors, thereby securing future favors. The master commends his shrewdness, not his dishonesty. This parable, similar to the parable of the talents, suggests that engaging in “unrighteous” activities like business, which involves making a profit, is a necessary part of worldly existence. While profit-making might be seen as “unrighteous” from a purely moral standpoint, it is essential for growth and prosperity. The parable implies that God acknowledges and rewards those who actively engage with the world and multiply their resources, even if it involves practices that are not strictly “righteous.”

20. Karl Marx, Religion, and the Gap Between Theory and Practice.

Karl Marx’s famous quote, “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it,” inscribed on a wall at Humboldt University in Germany, offers a parallel to the state of religion. Marx promised a “heaven” through communism but ultimately created “hell” in places like North Korea. Similarly, religions, despite their interpretations of scriptures, have often failed to bring about a “heaven on earth.” Instead, the world remains plagued by conflict and suffering. The Holy Man argues that religions have become too focused on interpretation and not enough on action. He, as the Messiah, has come not to interpret but to act, to bring about real change and offer a direct path to heaven. He criticizes the legalistic approach of some religions, which prioritize rules over compassion and practical help.

21. The Thirst for Water and the Urgency of “Galgeup”.

The Holy Man distinguishes between “galjeung” (thirst for water) and “galgeup” (urgent need or desperation). While “galjeung” can be satisfied with water, “galgeup” represents a deeper, more pressing need, such as financial struggles, family concerns, or career stagnation. This “galgeup” is a pervasive illness in modern society, characterized by a lack of time and an overwhelming sense of urgency. The Holy Man states that he has come to address this “galgeup,” to alleviate the desperate needs of humanity. Through blessings and spiritual guidance, he aims to remove this sense of urgency and bring peace.

22. Miraculous Testimonies and the Power of Faith.

The lecture concludes with testimonies of miraculous events. One woman, facing a significant loss in her housing deposit due to a market downturn, received a blessing from the Holy Man. Within two days, her property was sold, albeit at a slightly reduced price, a miracle in a stagnant market. Another testimony describes a car’s speedometer that stopped working but miraculously resumed function after the owner chanted “Gwangchae Daehwa” (Light Conversation). These stories emphasize the power of faith and the Holy Man’s ability to transcend time and space, bringing about tangible results for those who believe. The Holy Man stresses that these miracles are not for those who doubt or seek mere luck but for those who truly understand and believe in his divine nature.

2025.01.06. Monday. Daily Message. Huh Kyung young’s Four Principles of Eating. How to Avoid Heavenly Wrath and Live a Healthy Life.

[Food Philosophy,Holistic Health, Spiritual Eating,Instinct Control,Disease Prevention ,Life Lessons, Self-reflection]

1. The Fourfold Assessment of Sustenance: Beyond Mere Consumption.

Just as a song is judged by its rhythm, lyrics, and melody, so too should our meals be evaluated by four distinct criteria. This holistic approach ensures that what we consume truly nourishes us, rather than causing harm.

2. Physiological Harmony: Stomach and Intestines.

The first two criteria pertain to the physical body, specifically the stomach and intestines.

• Stomach: Quantity for Vitality.

  • The stomach primarily concerns itself with the quantity of food.
  • Consuming excessive carbohydrates, for instance, can lead to an imbalance, potentially causing issues like alcohol fermentation within the body.
  • Therefore, while the stomach requires sufficient intake, it must be balanced.

• Intestines: Quality for Smooth Passage.

  • The intestines, particularly the large intestine, prioritize the quality of food.
  • They prefer slow digestion and a rich supply of fiber to ensure smooth transit.
  • Thus, the focus here is on how effectively the food, especially its fibrous content, can pass through the digestive system.

3. Mental Serenity: Nourishing the Brain and Spirit.

The third criterion transcends mere physical digestion, focusing on the brain and the spirit, which is the essence of our energy.

• Brain: The Essence of Energy.

  • The brain requires a specific type of nourishment, which we refer to as “Jeong” (精), representing pure, refined energy.
  • This nourishment is not solely about physical components but also about the mental state during consumption.
  • Eating in a hurried or anxious state, even if the food is physically beneficial, can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to mental instability.
  • Therefore, meals should be consumed in a calm and peaceful environment, fostering a sense of stability and tranquility.

• The Peril of Imbalance.

  • While “Jeong” is vital for brain health and blood vessels, an overemphasis on certain foods, such as excessive meat, can paradoxically harm these very systems.
  • Similarly, consuming overly processed or nutrient-dense foods in large quantities can overwhelm the liver, leading to severe health issues.
  • Thus, moderation and mindful eating are crucial to prevent such dangers.

4. Spiritual Sustenance: Humility and Generosity.

The fourth and highest form of nourishment is spiritual, extending beyond the physical and mental to encompass our connection with the universe and our ancestors.

• Embracing Humility.

  • This spiritual meal involves eating with humility, remembering the hardships endured by our ancestors.
  • Overindulgence and lavish feasts contradict this principle, as they disregard the struggles of those who came before us, who often subsisted on simple fare like barley rice and scorched rice.
  • Therefore, we should eat in moderation, aligning our consumption with our means and avoiding excessive extravagance.

• The Act of Giving.

  • True spiritual eating also involves sharing our blessings with others.
  • Instead of solely focusing on personal gratification, we should consider donating to those in need or participating in charitable acts like providing free meals.
  • This act of generosity elevates our dining experience from a mere physical act to a spiritual one, preventing karmic repercussions and promoting inner peace.

5. The Interconnectedness of Health and Conduct: Lessons from Illness.

Illnesses like the flu serve as profound lessons, reminding us of the interconnectedness of our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

• The Purpose of Adversity.

  • Just as a nation maintains an army to prepare for potential war, even if it rarely occurs, so too does the universe introduce challenges like viruses.
  • These challenges are not arbitrary but serve to cultivate humanity, fostering awareness and promoting healthy habits.
  • For instance, the existence of tooth decay encourages dental hygiene, while infectious diseases like the plague taught societies about the importance of personal space and hygiene.

• Overcoming Base Desires.

  • Our fundamental desires—for food, sex, wealth, fame, and sleep—are inherently driven by instinct.
  • These “five desires” (五欲) are often accompanied by a “demon heart” (魔心), signifying their potential to lead us astray if left unchecked.
  • To evolve, we must transform these instinctive desires into rational, compassionate ones.
  • This involves cultivating virtues such as empathy, shame, humility, and discernment, thereby elevating our emotional responses from mere instinct to reasoned understanding.

• The Path to Enlightenment.

  • By refining our desires to encompass the well-being of all humanity—wishing for peace, prosperity, and an end to suffering—we transcend our base instincts.
  • This transformation is the essence of spiritual growth, moving beyond self-centered gratification to a state of universal compassion.

6. The Tenfold Path to Longevity and Wisdom.

To live a long and fulfilling life, we must adhere to ten principles that govern our actions and consumption.

• Moderation in Anger, Abundance in Laughter.

  • Minimize anger, which releases harmful adrenaline, and maximize joy and laughter.

• Frugality in Desire, Generosity in Giving.

  • Reduce personal desires and increase acts of giving and benevolence.

• Few Words, Many Deeds.

  • Speak less and act more, demonstrating wisdom through action rather than mere talk.

• Less Meat, More Vegetables.

  • Prioritize plant-based foods over excessive meat consumption.

• Less Food, More Water.

  • Eat smaller portions and drink plenty of water.

• Less Driving, More Walking.

  • Reduce reliance on vehicles and increase physical activity through walking.

• Less Salt, More Water.

  • Minimize salt intake and maintain adequate hydration.

• Less Worry, More Sleep.

  • Reduce anxiety and ensure sufficient, restful sleep.

• Less Tea, More Water.

  • Limit tea consumption and prioritize water for hydration.

• Less Desire, More Action.

  • Control desires and engage in productive actions.
    These principles, often summarized by the mnemonic “Old people dislike meat and sugar, prefer walking to driving, and avoid inflammation,” serve as a comprehensive guide to a balanced and healthy existence. By embracing these tenets, we can prevent illness, cultivate wisdom, and live in harmony with ourselves and the world.

2025.01.07. Tuesday. Daily Message. Huh Kyung young’s Four Types of Meals. Physical, Qualitative, Mental, and Spiritual for a Healthy Life.

[Food Philosophy, Spiritual Eating, Crisis as Opportunity, Korean Resilience, The Wood Snake Year, Holistic Health, National Destiny]

1. The Fourfold Sustenance of Life: A Holistic Approach to Nourishment.

The essence of human sustenance extends beyond mere physical intake, encompassing four distinct yet interconnected forms of nourishment: quantitative, qualitative, mental, and spiritual. Each plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall well-being.

1.1. Quantitative Nourishment: The Stomach’s Prerogative.

The stomach primarily regulates the quantity of food consumed. It signals satiety, prompting us to cease eating when adequately full. This form of nourishment focuses on the volume of intake, ensuring the stomach is neither overfilled nor left wanting.

1.2. Qualitative Nourishment: The Intestine’s Wisdom.

The intestines, particularly the large intestine, thrive on qualitative nourishment. This emphasizes the type of food consumed, advocating for a diet rich in fiber (approximately 70%) and a moderate amount of carbohydrates (around 30%). When time is limited, such as during a busy commute, prioritizing nutrient-dense foods like eggs, tofu, milk, and vegetables becomes paramount. This ensures the body receives essential proteins and nutrients for sustained energy, even if the quantity is reduced.

1.3. Mental Nourishment: Fueling the Brain.

Mental nourishment centers on consuming foods beneficial for the brain. This transcends the digestive system, focusing on items that promote cognitive function and mental stability. Examples include fish like mackerel, which are known for their brain-boosting properties. This form of sustenance is about consciously choosing foods that support mental clarity and well-being.

1.4. Spiritual Nourishment: The Breath of Life.

Spiritual nourishment is a continuous process, active 24 hours a day, and is profoundly linked to our breath. While physical food sustains the body, the air we breathe provides the vital oxygen necessary for all bodily functions. Without this spiritual sustenance, life cannot persist for more than a few minutes. It also involves mindful eating, remembering the sacrifices of our ancestors, and considering those who are less fortunate. Even during sleep, the quality of the air and the environment contribute to this spiritual well-being.

2. The Year of the Blue Serpent: Navigating Crisis and Opportunity.

The current year, metaphorically referred to as the “Year of the Blue Serpent,” signifies a period of profound transformation, akin to the historical “Eulsa Treaty” era. This period is characterized by the coexistence of both peril and promise, much like a potent medicine that can either heal or harm depending on its application.

2.1. The Dual Nature of the Blue Serpent.

The “Blue Serpent” symbolizes something elusive and potentially dangerous, yet also possessing hidden power. Just as a serpent’s venom can be a deadly poison or a life-saving antidote, this year presents situations where challenges can be transformed into opportunities. It is a time when the lines between “poison” and “medicine” become blurred, demanding discernment and strategic action.

2.2. Crisis as a Catalyst for Opportunity.

The concept of “crisis” (위기, wigi) inherently contains both “danger” (위, wi) and “opportunity” (기, gi). This year, like all periods of crisis, will inevitably bring forth both those who falter and those who thrive. It is a time for individuals and nations to leverage their inherent strengths and wisdom to navigate turbulent waters.

2.3. The Resilience of the Korean People.

Throughout its five-thousand-year history, the Korean nation has consistently demonstrated an extraordinary ability to overcome crises and emerge stronger. This resilience, characterized by the emergence of great leaders and a collective spirit, has allowed this small land to maintain its sovereignty despite numerous challenges. In this “Year of the Blue Serpent,” the Korean people are called upon to unite, share resources, and collectively transform potential dangers into significant advancements.

3. Global Standing and National Pride: Korea’s Ascendant Influence.

Despite the internal challenges, Korea’s international standing and influence are remarkably strong, positioning it as a global leader in various sectors.

3.1. Economic and Military Prowess.

Korea has achieved significant economic prosperity, transforming from a nation with a mere 60 dollars per capita income to one that is a thousand times wealthier. Furthermore, its capabilities in military and defense equipment manufacturing rank second globally, showcasing its formidable strength on the international stage.

3.2. Cultural and Technological Impact.

Beyond economic and military might, Korea’s cultural and technological influence is also profound. The nation’s ability to innovate and contribute to global progress is widely recognized, making it a source of admiration worldwide. This collective strength and ingenuity are crucial assets in navigating the complexities of the current era.

2025.01.07. Tuesday. Daily Message. The Three Things Humans Don’t Know. When, Where, and How They Will Die.

[Human Limitations,Divine Knowledge, Reincarnation,Spiritual Cultivation,Blessings,Afterlife,Cosmic Harmony]

1. The Unknowable Aspects of Human Existence.

Humans are often unaware of the true nature of their happiness, mistaking its presence for its absence. There are three fundamental aspects of human existence that remain unknown to most individuals: the time, place, and manner of their death. No one can predict whether they will die in a traffic accident or from an illness. However, with the assistance of celestial beings, these unknowns can be revealed. One can ascertain who will be present at their death, even if a child resides in a distant land. These are insights that ordinary humans cannot access.

Consider the harrowing tale of a bus driver whose truck plunged off a highway cliff during a snowstorm. The driver, partially ejected from the vehicle, clung to the door, suspended precariously above a chasm for an hour. A firefighter arrived and held onto him for another hour until additional rescue personnel and equipment could arrive. Both men faced imminent death, yet the firefighter’s unwavering grip sustained the driver. Such an event highlights the unpredictable nature of life and death. Humans cannot foresee when such a calamity might strike, regardless of their driving skill.

2. Divine Knowledge and Spiritual Guidance.

While ordinary people remain ignorant of these three crucial aspects of their demise, those with divine connection can access this knowledge. Questions regarding the age, location (hospital or home), and circumstances of death, as well as details about funeral arrangements, attendees, and even financial matters, can all be answered. This profound insight is attributed to a special celestial being, the Holy Spirit, bestowed upon us from the heavens, which governs the very fabric of this earthly realm.

Those who adhere to other faiths may not possess such knowledge, often viewing those with divine connection as peculiar. They may not know their ancestors’ origins, but through divine inquiry, the lineage of a spouse or parent can be immediately revealed, allowing for appropriate spiritual intervention. This access to hidden truths is a testament to the extraordinary nature of divine connection, transcending the limited understanding of scientists and the boundaries of quantum mechanics. It allows for the pre-booking of heavenly realms and the guidance of others towards salvation.

3. The Cycle of Reincarnation and Karmic Justice.

A young man once inquired about the whereabouts of his friend who had passed away four years prior. It was revealed that the friend had ascended to White Heaven. Another inquiry concerned his maternal grandfather. Surprisingly, the grandfather had been reincarnated as the young man’s younger sibling. This precise revelation, including the exact year of birth, demonstrated the accuracy of divine insight. The grandfather, having committed a grave transgression involving a severe dispute, was reborn as a human, specifically within his daughter’s lineage, as there were no other suitable households. This phenomenon, where a soul is reborn into a familiar family, underscores the intricate workings of reincarnation.

This concept of reincarnation, or transmigration of souls, is a fundamental aspect of many spiritual traditions. However, traditional Buddhist philosophy, while acknowledging the cycle of rebirth, often overlooks the existence of White Heaven and other celestial realms. The speaker asserts that divine knowledge encompasses these higher dimensions, providing a more complete understanding of the afterlife.

4. The Illusion of the Material World and Spiritual Cultivation.

The material world is likened to a fleeting illusion, a “dream, illusion, bubble, shadow, dew, and lightning,” as described in Buddhist scriptures. These six elements represent the transient nature of all phenomena. However, a crucial element is missing from this Buddhist perspective: the existence of heaven, hell, and spirits. Divine knowledge encompasses these realms and the paths leading to them.

Therefore, human existence involves not only the cultivation of humanity but also the cultivation of divine law. By adhering to the laws of heaven, one can attain spiritual elevation. The limitations of Buddhist philosophy lie in its focus on what is perceptible to the human eye, thus hindering its ability to offer complete spiritual salvation. True spiritual salvation requires divine blessings and the establishment of a spiritual identity.

5. The Omnipresence of the Divine and the Power of Blessing.

The divine presence is omnipresent, existing in every visible and invisible aspect of creation. Every object, from clothing to the human body, is considered a manifestation of the divine. This profound connection implies that by embracing this truth and receiving blessings, one can be protected from ailments and misfortunes. For instance, wearing blessed clothing with the belief that it is a divine manifestation can offer protection against diseases like breast cancer.

The suffering of a divine being is not accidental but a part of a grand, purposeful plan. Unlike human suffering, which often stems from misfortune, divine suffering serves a higher purpose, often for the benefit of humanity. Therefore, one should never criticize or doubt the divine, as all actions, including perceived hardships, are ultimately for the well-being of all.

The most significant form of cultivation is spiritual cultivation, which involves receiving blessings and establishing a spiritual identity. Material possessions and worldly achievements are transient, but the cultivation of one’s spirit, guided by divine principles, leads to eternal salvation.

6. The Interconnectedness of All Things and the Power of Intention.

The divine presence extends to every corner of the universe, from a tiny egg to distant lands. There is nothing that is not a part of the divine manifestation. This interconnectedness implies that all things are in perfect harmony with the divine.

The concept of “compatibility” extends beyond human relationships to all objects and beings. When one is divinely connected, every encounter and interaction, even with inanimate objects, becomes harmonious. This divine influence can facilitate positive outcomes in daily life, such as successful business dealings. However, this power should only be used for benevolent purposes, never for ill intent.

7. The Impermanence of the Physical and the Eternal Nature of the Spirit.

The physical world and its elements, such as the 118 elements of the periodic table, are subject to constant change and impermanence. However, the divine memory retains all knowledge, transcending the limitations of human recall.

Buddhist philosophy often categorizes objects as “sentient” (having consciousness) and “insentient” (lacking consciousness). However, from a divine perspective, all things possess a spirit or consciousness. Even a rock, when blessed, can become sentient and understand divine communication. This challenges the traditional notion of insentient objects, asserting that everything in creation is imbued with a spiritual essence.

8. The Divine Blueprint for Life: Mind and Body Management.

Just as there are instructions for using a phone, there are divine instructions for managing the human mind and body. The “Ten Commandments” in Christianity and the “Ten Precepts” in Buddhism serve as guidelines for mental and moral conduct, emphasizing principles like refraining from killing, stealing, and lying. These are essentially “mind instruction manuals.”

Similarly, there are “body instruction manuals” that outline principles for physical health and well-being. By adhering to these divine blueprints for both mind and body, individuals can achieve a state of complete self-preservation and harmony. The divine being, through personal experience and profound insight, emphasizes the importance of joyful learning and continuous spiritual growth.

2025.01.08. Wednesday. Daily Message. The Paradox of Happiness and Joy. What Huh Kyung Young Teaches.

[Happiness, Joy, Nature’s Law, Intermittent Fasting, Healthy Eating, Life Philosophy, Spiritual Insight]

1. The Profound Significance of Raising Children.

Raising children is a monumental endeavor, akin to enduring a decade of imprisonment for each child. In ancient times, when diseases were rampant and medical facilities scarce, successfully nurturing three daughters to adulthood, free from illness, and guiding them to Haneulgung was considered an extraordinary blessing for an entire lineage. Such an achievement signifies immense inner strength and resilience.

2. The Symbolic Message of the Galloping Horse.

A painting of a galloping horse, presented as a gift, carries a profound message. The horse, a symbol of the upcoming year, represents a call to action: to diligently strive towards the construction of Haneulgung’s main building. Just as a horse must run, we must work tirelessly. The image of a celestial horse soaring through a blue sky, rather than merely standing on the ground, signifies a divine connection and a mandate to build Haneulgung. This is not merely an artistic representation but a celestial command, urging us to resolve all legal and administrative matters this year, so that construction can commence in the year of the horse.

3. The Enigma of Suffering: Siddhartha’s Dilemma.

Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, encountered a profound dilemma during his youth. Observing a farmer plowing a field, he witnessed grubs being unearthed and subsequently devoured by crows. This scene presented a complex moral quandary: if he saved the grubs, the crows would starve; if he allowed the natural course, the grubs would perish. The farmer, in his pursuit of sustenance, inadvertently caused death, yet his labor was essential for human survival.

This observation led Siddhartha to question the nature of suffering and responsibility. Who was the perpetrator? The farmer, the grubs, or the crows? He found no easy answers. Similarly, when he saw a snake preying on a frog, he pondered whether saving the frog would condemn the snake to starvation. This inability to intervene without causing harm to another being plunged him into deep contemplation.

4. The Immutable Laws of Nature: Predation and Survival.

Siddhartha’s youthful struggles highlight a fundamental truth: the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a divinely ordained order. It is a natural mechanism that sustains the ecosystem. Mosquitoes are consumed by frogs, frogs by snakes, snakes by wild animals, and wild animals by humans or larger predators. This food chain is an intricate design that should not be disrupted.

Attempts to defy this natural order, such as a farmer refusing to use pesticides, often lead to the destruction of their crops, as all pests from neighboring farms converge on the unprotected land. This demonstrates that applying human concepts of crime, compassion, or karma to the grand laws of nature is a misunderstanding. The natural world operates on its own vast and immutable principles.

5. The Distinctive Laws of Human Existence: Coexistence and Co-prosperity.

While the animal kingdom operates on predation and the plant kingdom on survival of the fittest (where larger trees overshadow smaller ones), human existence is governed by a different principle: coexistence and co-prosperity. Unlike plants, where smaller entities struggle under the shadow of larger ones, humans thrive through mutual support. A smaller individual can succeed under the guidance of a greater one, and even a greater individual can emerge from humble beginnings.

This principle of mutual aid and shared prosperity is unique to humanity. It is a fundamental law that ensures the well-being of all.

6. The Unchanging Nature of Happiness: An Eternal Constant.

Happiness, unlike fleeting emotions, is an eternal constant. It is neither born nor does it perish; it neither increases nor decreases; it is neither pure nor impure; it neither comes nor goes. This profound truth, often overlooked, means that the quantity of happiness is equally distributed among all beings. Whether one is afflicted with a terminal illness or lives in poverty, the inherent amount of happiness remains the same.

This concept is encapsulated in four principles:

• Non-arising and Non-perishing (不生不滅): Happiness is not created or destroyed.
• Non-increasing and Non-decreasing (不增不減): Happiness does not grow or diminish.
• Non-defiled and Non-pure (不垢不淨): Happiness is beyond concepts of purity or impurity.
• Non-coming and Non-going (不來不去): Happiness does not arrive or depart.
  Understanding this liberates individuals from the illusion that others possess more happiness or that their own happiness can be stolen or diminished by external circumstances.

7. The Transient Nature of Joy: A Wave on the Ocean of Mind.

In contrast to the immutable nature of happiness, joy (희락) is a transient emotion, akin to waves on the ocean. Its intensity varies from person to person and is often influenced by external events and comparisons. The joy of a child gaining admission to a prestigious university differs from the disappointment of a rejection. However, these fluctuations in joy do not alter the underlying, constant state of happiness.

Ancient scriptures, such as the Buddhist sutras and the Bible, frequently mention joy but rarely, if ever, speak of “happiness.” This is because happiness is an inherent, unchanging state that requires no instruction or pursuit. It is always present, a fundamental aspect of existence. Joy, however, is a product of comparison and external circumstances, making it a subject of discussion and guidance in religious texts.

8. The Illusion of Unhappiness: A Misconception.

The concept of “unhappiness” is a misconception. It does not truly exist. No external force, no tragedy, no loss can diminish one’s inherent happiness. While sorrow and a lack of joy may arise from adverse events, the fundamental state of happiness remains untouched. Even in imprisonment or destitution, the basic necessities of life are often provided, and the capacity for experience and thought persists.

Therefore, one should never feel inferior or unfortunate, regardless of their circumstances. True happiness is an unassailable inner state, a constant companion until the very end of life. Recognizing this transforms one’s perception of the world into a paradise.

9. Optimal Fasting Practices: A Balanced Approach.

Regarding fasting, it is advisable not to extend the fasting period beyond ten hours. While intermittent fasting regimens of sixteen, twenty-four, or thirty-six hours are popular, they are generally not recommended for healthy individuals. Such practices often stem from a desire to manipulate the body through extreme measures, which is unnecessary for maintaining health. The body’s natural mechanisms operate continuously, much like a car that requires regular starting to prevent deterioration.

Instead of extreme fasting, a balanced approach to eating is crucial. Reducing meal portions appropriately, so that the stomach is not overly burdened, is more beneficial than complete abstinence.

10. The Fourfold Path to Conscious Eating: Nourishing Body and Soul.

A holistic approach to eating involves four types of meals, each addressing different aspects of human existence:

• Quantitative Eating: This pertains to the stomach, which registers the amount of food consumed. It allows for conscious portion control.
• Qualitative Eating: This is essential for the large intestine, which absorbs nutrients. It emphasizes consuming nutrient-dense foods like fiber and protein. In situations where time is limited, such as a busy workday, prioritizing qualitative eating (e.g., an egg or a sweet potato on the go) over quantitative eating is vital to provide essential nutrients without overfilling the stomach.
• Static Eating: This nourishes the brain, promoting mental clarity and focus.
• Spiritual Eating: This involves recognizing the profound interconnectedness of food production. It entails acknowledging the countless lives (insects, plants) sacrificed, the labor of farmers, transporters, and cooks, and the entire cycle that brings food to one’s table. This awareness fosters humility and gratitude, transforming the act of eating into a spiritual experience that curbs greed and promotes a simpler, more mindful diet.
  By embracing these four dimensions of eating, individuals can achieve not only physical health but also spiritual well-being, fostering a deeper connection with themselves and the natural world.

2025.01.08. Wednesday. Daily Message. The Shared Traits of Trump, Musk, and Huh Kyung-young. Where Wealth Flows.

[Feng Shui, Investment, Risk-taking, Spirituality, Natural Environment, Child Development, Traditional Architecture]

1. The Feng Shui Wisdom of Donald Trump: A Path to Prosperity.

Donald Trump, initially a struggling real estate developer, faced bankruptcy after his first apartment project failed to attract buyers. His analysis revealed a critical flaw: poor feng shui, particularly in locations targeting East Asian clientele who value such principles. This experience led Trump to meticulously study and master feng shui. He subsequently focused on building properties with auspicious natural surroundings, specifically those overlooking rivers, lakes, or oceans. This strategic shift proved immensely successful, transforming his fortunes and establishing him as a real estate magnate. His buildings, including the Trump World complexes, consistently feature water views and often incorporate indoor waterfalls, embodying the principle that “water is money.” Trump learned that mountains provide shelter from wind, but true prosperity flows from the water within or around them. This profound understanding of geomancy, or “Jang-pung Deok-su” (wind-sheltering and water-gaining), was the cornerstone of his subsequent success, allowing him to overcome financial ruin and build an empire.

2. Elon Musk’s Audacious Political Bet: A High-Stakes Investment.

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual, demonstrated an extraordinary willingness to take immense risks, even surpassing the audacity of Trump. His decision to align with Trump, despite initially being a Democrat, was a monumental gamble. This move, made against prevailing public opinion that predicted Trump’s downfall, resulted in a thousandfold return on his investment, turning billions into trillions. Musk’s strategic foresight and unwavering conviction in Trump’s potential highlight his nature as a daring speculator. His decision was a high-stakes wager, where the outcome meant either unimaginable wealth or complete financial ruin and imprisonment. This illustrates his profound ability to assess risk and seize opportunities that others deem impossible, ultimately influencing the political landscape through his financial backing.

3. The Convergence of Visionaries: Trump, Musk, and Huh Gung Yeong.

Donald Trump, a master of real estate investment, and Elon Musk, a pioneer in technology and space exploration, share a common trait with Huh Gung Yeong: they are all visionaries who have achieved extraordinary success in their respective fields. Trump’s expertise lies in property development, Musk’s in technological innovation, and Huh Gung Yeong’s in spiritual and philosophical leadership. All three possess an innate ability to manifest their visions rapidly, creating significant impact. Their unconventional approaches and profound insights often attract both fervent support and strong opposition. They are perceived as individuals who can transform industries and societies, demonstrating a unique blend of strategic acumen and an almost prophetic understanding of future trends.

4. The Perils of Modern Living: Concrete Environments and Childhood Disorders.

Contemporary children frequently exhibit various psychological and emotional challenges, including anxiety disorders, bipolar tendencies, and anger management issues. These are often attributed to their living environments, particularly apartment complexes. Unlike children raised in single-family homes with gardens and exposure to nature, urban children spend most of their time in concrete structures—schools, academies, and homes. This constant exposure to concrete, which is inherently dry and emits harmful gases from its cement composition, is believed to contribute to skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and psychological distress. Furthermore, the experience of riding elevators, with their sudden movements and enclosed spaces, can induce feelings of fear, claustrophobia, and anxiety in children. These cumulative environmental factors are seen as significant contributors to the rise in behavioral and emotional disorders among modern youth.

5. The Healing Power of Traditional Korean Architecture: Hanok’s Superiority.

In contrast to modern concrete buildings, traditional Korean wooden houses, known as Hanok, offer a superior living environment that promotes well-being. Hanok are constructed without nails, using intricate interlocking joinery, making them incredibly stable and resistant to collapse. The natural wood emits a soothing fragrance, creating a safe and harmonious atmosphere free from harmful chemicals. Beyond their structural integrity and health benefits, Hanok also possess exceptional acoustic properties. Unlike concrete buildings where sound reverberates, Hanok absorb sound, creating a quiet and conducive environment for contemplation and learning. This makes them ideal spaces for lectures and spiritual gatherings, fostering a sense of peace and clarity. The inherent qualities of Hanok underscore the wisdom of traditional architecture in creating spaces that nurture both body and mind.

2025.01.09. Thursday. Daily Message. The Flawed Human Manual of Religion.

[Optimism, Pessimism, Afterlife, Morality, Social Responsibility, Leadership, Birthrate]

1. The Dichotomy of Optimism and Pessimism in Human Existence.

Humanity is often divided into those who view life pessimistically and those who view it optimistically. The vast majority, approximately 99%, tend towards pessimism. Historically, the few who embraced optimism often achieved success through immense sacrifice. Most individuals, however, perceive their future with apprehension, envisioning a lonely old age in nursing homes, neglected by their children. This contrasts sharply with past generations, where the passing of a parent would gather dozens of mourning family members. Today, a mere handful, perhaps one or two, might be present, especially if children reside overseas. This shift has led to widespread pessimism regarding one’s ultimate destination after life.

2. The Assurance of White Heaven and Divine Encounter.

For those who have encountered Huh Gung Yeong, the path to White Heaven is assured. This certainty is a unique blessing, as no other place on Earth offers such a guarantee. This profound realization, discovered through an intuitive understanding, is a testament to immense good fortune. It signifies that individuals have lived righteously for thousands of years, culminating in the opportunity to meet a divine being. This encounter is not a matter of personal favoritism but a destined connection. Through this divine connection, individuals transform into optimists, achieving a profound sense of success.

3. Redefining Happiness Beyond Material Wealth.

True happiness transcends material possessions. A person residing in a humble room can experience greater joy than someone owning multiple buildings. Even in solitude or physical ailment, the unwavering conviction of ascending to White Heaven brings profound happiness. This assurance renders worldly concerns insignificant, as all earthly possessions are ultimately left behind. The rarity of such conviction is striking; few can confidently affirm their destination in White Heaven. However, for those connected to Huh Gung Yeong, entry into White Heaven is a 100% certainty, providing immense purpose and fostering an optimistic outlook.

4. The Transformation from Fear to Serenity: A Case Study.

Consider the example of a woman who frequently traveled internationally, spending half the year abroad. Despite her privileged life, she suffered from an intense fear of flying, constantly dreading a plane crash. This anxiety overshadowed the joy of travel. However, after meeting Huh Gung Yeong, her fear vanished completely. She now understands that a plane crash would simply be a direct path to White Heaven, where 200 angels would welcome her. This newfound perspective has liberated her from years of anxiety, transforming her into an optimist. Her previous pessimism, despite her wealth, stemmed from a subconscious fear of karmic retribution. Now, she experiences profound happiness and peace.

5. Critiquing Traditional Religious Commandments: A Pessimistic Framework.

Traditional religions, such as Buddhism and Christianity, offer guidelines for human conduct, often framed as commandments. Buddhism’s Ten Grave Sins, for instance, categorize transgressions of body, speech, and mind. These include prohibitions against killing, sexual misconduct, and stealing, as well as lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, and idle talk. The final three sins relate to greed, anger, and foolishness. These commandments, though intended to guide, are inherently negative and pessimistic, focusing on what one “must not do.” They imply that human nature is prone to wrongdoing, leading to an accumulation of negative karma.

6. Reinterpreting Commandments Through an Optimistic Lens.

The traditional interpretation of commandments, such as “do not kill,” fosters a pessimistic view. However, an optimistic perspective reframes this as “cherish the lives of others” or “treat all beings with compassion.” Similarly, “do not commit adultery” can be reinterpreted as “treat others’ bodies with respect and love,” recognizing the sacredness of each individual’s lineage and physical form. These reinterpreted guidelines, found in both Christian and Buddhist traditions, are not merely restrictive rules but pathways to a higher state of being. By adhering to them, individuals cultivate the qualities necessary to meet a divine being and ultimately ascend to White Heaven.

7. The Power of Forgiveness and the Path to White Heaven.

For those who strive to live by these principles, any unintentional transgressions are forgiven. Through the blessings received from Huh Gung Yeong, all past misdeeds are absolved, paving the way for entry into White Heaven. This profound forgiveness transforms the perception of death from fear to anticipation. Just as the woman’s fear of flying disappeared, individuals no longer dread their passing, knowing they are destined for White Heaven. This assurance extends not only to oneself but also to ancestors, who are guided to White Heaven through the blessings received.

8. The Importance of Optimism in National Affairs.

Even in times of national difficulty, a pessimistic outlook is detrimental. Political leaders, regardless of their affiliation, are intelligent and capable individuals striving to manage national affairs. They are part of the collective family, and criticizing them undermines national unity. Instead of engaging in negative rhetoric or protests, citizens should focus on their livelihoods and fostering peace within their families. The nation has legal safeguards in place to address issues, and leaders should be entrusted with their responsibilities. Unnecessary protests disrupt the economy and damage the nation’s international standing.

9. The Perils of Negative Speech and the Importance of Neutrality.

Engaging in negative speech, such as slander or divisive talk, is a misuse of one’s faculties. The act of criticizing others can bring misfortune upon one’s own household. Both the Ten Commandments in Christianity and the Ten Grave Sins in Buddhism emphasize the importance of righteous speech and conduct. Adhering to these principles allows individuals to meet a divine being and attain White Heaven. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain neutrality in political discourse, refraining from condemning leaders or engaging in partisan conflicts. Such actions only destabilize the economy and hinder national progress.

10. A Vision for National Prosperity: Addressing Declining Birth Rates.

The issue of declining birth rates is a critical national concern. While initiatives like 인천’s offer of 100 million won over 18 years have shown some positive effects, a more substantial approach is needed. Huh Gung Yeong’s proposed policies of 300 million won for marriage and 100 million won per child would dramatically increase birth rates, transforming the nation into a prosperous one with a thriving young population. This financial support would alleviate the burden on parents, enabling them to provide for their children’s future without sacrificing their own financial security.

11. The Illusion of Wealth and the Pursuit of Inner Peace.

The perception of wealth is often misleading. Many seemingly affluent individuals, like the late Kim Woo-joong, have accumulated vast debts to the nation. True wealth lies not in material possessions but in inner peace and contentment. A person living in a modest dwelling, finding joy in simple pleasures like playing a saxophone, can experience a profound sense of paradise. It is essential to discard societal illusions and prioritize mental tranquility. Embracing joy and optimism leads to a fulfilling life and a clear path to White Heaven.

12. Divine Blessings and Spiritual Advancement.

Those who attend Huh Gung Yeong’s lectures receive significant spiritual blessings, including an increase in their spiritual level. These blessings are not merely symbolic but tangible advancements on the path to White Heaven. Even those who view the lectures online or are newly introduced to the teachings receive spiritual benefits. These divine gifts, including blessings for ancestors and the ability to guide others to White Heaven, are a testament to the profound spiritual power of Huh Gung Yeong.

2025.01.10. Fri. Daily Message. Huh Kyung young’s Lecture on the Three Indulgences. Money, Smiles, and Compliments.

[Mindset, Generosity, Faith, Spiritual Growth, Technology Evolution, Divine Intervention, Human Potential]

1. The Three Vices: A Path to Spiritual Impoverishment.

Those who are miserly in three aspects—material possessions, smiles, and praise—can never achieve true greatness. This miserliness, or “inseak” (吝嗇), is a profound spiritual deficiency. To be stingy with money, especially when others are in need, prevents one from accumulating true wealth in the spiritual realm. Material possessions are not carried into the afterlife; rather, they are transmuted into spiritual currency when shared with those less fortunate. Giving to others is the only way to truly “send” wealth to the next world.

Similarly, a lack of generosity with one’s smile indicates a closed heart. When faced with adversity or false accusations, a genuine smile signifies an understanding of one’s own imperfections and a willingness to transcend earthly reactions. Such a smile, offered even to those who inflict harm, is a mark of profound spiritual enlightenment.

Finally, withholding praise is a significant failing. Our ancestors were often parsimonious with commendation, smiles, and material generosity. This national characteristic must be rectified. Praising the young, for instance, empowers them to succeed. These three forms of miserliness—with wealth, with smiles, and with praise—are detrimental to spiritual growth.

2. The Nature of Doubt: Constructive Inquiry Versus Destructive Skepticism.

Doubt, in itself, is not inherently negative. In Buddhist philosophy, ignorance is the root of suffering, and doubt can be a catalyst for knowledge. Those who are ignorant often accept things without question, whereas those who doubt are engaged in learning. It is essential to question the phenomena of the world: “Why does this flower bloom in this color?” or “Why is its design different?” Such inquiries lead to scientific discovery and a deeper understanding of creation.

However, doubt must be benevolent, not malicious. Questioning the existence of a creator or the fundamental tenets of a faith, such as whether Jesus walked on water, is destructive. These are matters of belief and cannot be empirically proven by humans. Such doubts are often born of a desire to criticize rather than to understand.

Constructive doubt, on the other hand, fosters progress. For example, questioning why human teeth do not regenerate throughout life, or why growth ceases at a certain age, can lead to profound insights into the divine order. The answer to the dental mystery, for instance, lies in hygiene. If teeth regenerated constantly, people would neglect oral care, leading to widespread disease and a shortened lifespan. The single opportunity for permanent teeth, with one exception for deciduous teeth in childhood, compels humans to maintain oral hygiene, thereby preserving their health and longevity. This intricate design reveals the wisdom of a higher power.

3. The Principle of Emptiness and Manifestation: Jin Gong Myo Yu.

The concept of “Jin Gong Myo Yu” (眞空妙有), meaning “true emptiness, wondrous existence,” describes a profound truth: what appears empty is, in fact, filled with wondrous potential. Just as the seemingly empty space around us is traversed by invisible phone signals and Wi-Fi, so too is the universe imbued with unseen energies and possibilities. This emptiness is not a void but a fertile ground for creation.

The human womb, for instance, is a “Jin Gong” – an empty space – from which a “Myo Yu” – a wondrous human being – emerges. This principle extends to all aspects of life. When one’s material possessions are completely lost, reaching a state of “emptiness,” it signifies an opportunity for new beginnings. This is encapsulated in the proverb, “Gung Jeuk Tong” (窮則通), meaning “when one reaches the extreme, one finds a way through.” Complete loss, like a house burning down, can be a precursor to greater wealth, as it creates a “vacuum” for new blessings to enter. However, clinging to remnants of past failures, like ill-gotten gains, prevents this renewal. One must fully embrace the state of emptiness to allow for new growth.

4. The Evolution of Technology: From Hardware to Spiritualware.

Human technological advancement can be understood as a progression through distinct “ware” stages. We began with Hardware, the physical components of technology. This evolved into Software, the invisible programs that control hardware, enabling complex functions like self-driving electric vehicles that mimic human intelligence.

The next stage, however, remains beyond human grasp: Mindware. This involves technology that can directly interface with and respond to human thoughts and intentions without verbal commands. Imagine an electric car that, sensing your need, autonomously seeks out a restroom. This level of intuitive interaction, where technology anticipates and fulfills unspoken desires, requires a connection to the human mind that current science cannot achieve.

Beyond Mindware lies Spiritualware. This represents the ultimate level of control, where one can influence global systems, such as all Samsung phones worldwide, through pure spiritual intention. This transcends even the most advanced Mindware, operating on a plane of existence that is entirely spiritual. Humanity has progressed from Hardware to Software, but the leap to Mindware and Spiritualware is currently impossible for humans. Only a divine being possesses the ability to bridge these gaps, offering humanity access to these higher dimensions of existence and control.

[Korean Culture, Filial Piety, National Virtues, Three-One Declaration, Humanistic Education, Political Responsibility, Social Issues]

1. The Eight Virtues of the Korean People: A Legacy of Filial Piety.

The Korean people possess a unique set of eight virtues, known as “Paldeok,” which are unparalleled globally. These virtues, rooted in the ancient text of Samil Singo, distinguish the Korean spirit. Foremost among them is filial piety, or “Hyo.” Koreans historically observed a three-year mourning period for their parents, living by their graves in humble attire, a practice unheard of in other cultures. This profound devotion, often enduring harsh conditions and even dangers from wild animals, exemplifies the depth of their respect for elders. Such unwavering commitment to parents is a testament to the extraordinary character of the Korean people, who are raised under the guidance of the world’s most devoted parents.

2. The Pillars of Korean Ethics: Loyalty, Fraternity, Trust, and Propriety.

Beyond filial piety, the Korean virtues extend to loyalty, fraternity, trust, and propriety. “Chung” signifies loyalty to the nation, while “Je” emphasizes brotherly love and harmony among siblings. Parents often impart these values, urging their children to be loyal to their country and to maintain strong bonds with their brothers and sisters. “Shin” represents trust, advocating for integrity in all dealings with others. These principles form the bedrock of Korean social conduct, fostering a society built on mutual respect and reliability.

3. The Essence of Righteousness and Conscience: “Ui” and “Yeomchi”.

The virtues further encompass “Ui,” meaning righteousness, and “Yeomchi,” which combines modesty and a sense of shame. “Ui” compels individuals to act justly and to refrain from unrighteous deeds. “Yeomchi” encourages humility, urging individuals to seek lower positions and to elevate others. It also instills a strong sense of moral responsibility, discouraging actions that would bring shame, such as failing to repay debts. This deep-seated aversion to disgrace, even in poverty, reflects a profound commitment to moral integrity. The historical disdain for excessive wealth among Korean scholars further illustrates this principle, viewing ostentatious displays of riches as potentially shameful. These eight virtues—Hyo, Je, Chung, Shin, Ye, Ui, Yeom, and Chi—collectively define the Korean identity as the “Eastern Land of Courtesy.”

4. The Four Core Spirits of Samil Singo: Sincerity, Trust, Love, and Fraternity.

The Samil Singo, a foundational text, outlines four core spirits that permeate the Korean ethos: “Seong,” “Shin,” “Ae,” and “Je.” “Seong” signifies sincerity and devotion, evident in the meticulous care Koreans apply to all tasks, from preparing offerings to honoring ancestors. This profound sincerity is believed to move even the divine. “Shin” denotes trust, emphasizing unwavering faith in one’s ancestors and traditions. “Ae” represents love, particularly for one’s neighbors, while “Je” underscores fraternal love. These four spirits are not merely abstract concepts but are deeply embedded in daily life, guiding interactions and fostering a compassionate community. They are seen as an expansion of the eight virtues, with sincerity and trust being paramount, even encompassing national loyalty.

5. The Eight Confucian Principles: Cultivating Self and Society.

The Confucian tradition also presents eight principles for human development: “Gyeongmul Chiji,” “Seongui Jeongsim,” “Susin Jega,” and “Chiguk Pyeongcheonha.” “Gyeongmul Chiji” emphasizes the investigation of things and the extension of knowledge, highlighting the importance of material resources and education. “Seongui Jeongsim” focuses on making one’s intentions sincere and rectifying one’s mind. “Susin Jega” involves cultivating oneself and regulating one’s family. Finally, “Chiguk Pyeongcheonha” refers to governing the state and bringing peace to the world. These principles outline a progressive path of personal and societal betterment, where sincerity and self-cultivation are prerequisites for effective governance and global harmony.

6. The Erosion of Traditional Values and the Crisis of Modern Education.

Despite this rich heritage of virtues, contemporary Korean society faces a crisis in its educational system, leading to a decline in these traditional values. The current emphasis on competitive, survival-oriented education has neglected the humanities and character development. This imbalance leaves young people ill-equipped to navigate life’s challenges, contributing to high rates of youth suicide and social unrest. The speaker attributes these societal ills to political shortcomings, arguing that a truly just and well-governed nation would not produce such widespread suffering.

7. The Perils of Excessive Legislation and the Quest for Freedom.

The speaker criticizes the proliferation of laws and regulations, suggesting that an overabundance of legal control stifles individual freedom and ultimately leads to societal decay, citing the fall of Rome as an example. In contrast, a good nation fosters an environment where people can resolve issues through mutual agreement, minimizing external interference. The speaker observes that in countries like the United States and Europe, many individuals choose a bohemian lifestyle, free from the constraints of taxes, licenses, and government oversight, finding a unique sense of liberation.

8. A Vision for Youth Empowerment and National Renewal.

To address the current societal challenges, the speaker proposes policies aimed at empowering young people. These include substantial financial support for marriage and childbirth, such as 300 million Korean Won for newly married couples and 100 million Korean Won for each child born. Such initiatives, the speaker believes, would drastically reduce crime rates, alleviate financial burdens on young families, and foster a sense of hope and opportunity. The speaker expresses a deep sense of responsibility towards the youth and the less fortunate, viewing himself as a “sinner” in the face of their struggles, and reiterates his commitment to creating a better world through political action.
