2016.01.23 1010 The Truth of Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism: The End of Capitalism and democracy, and Socrates’ philosopher-king Rule

The Advent of Jung San Ju Ui (Middle-Classism) and the End of Capitalism

  1. The Decline of Capitalism and Democracy
    Huh Kyung-young asserts that capitalism and democracy, which have historically intertwined to shape the global economy through economic doctrines like those of Keynes and Hayek, are now failing. He contends that these systems have led to a concentration of wealth, where 99% of the world’s money is funneled to just 1% of the population. This phenomenon, he notes, was predicted by Karl Marx, who foresaw the eventual collapse of capitalism as wealth inequality intensified. Huh Kyung-young highlights that the rich inevitably grow richer, while the poor become increasingly indebted. He criticizes politicians for perpetuating this system under the guise of democracy, arguing that the public is being deceived.

  2. The Principles of Capitalism and Democracy
    Capitalism, according to Huh Kyung-young, operates on three core principles: the principle of absolute ownership, the principle of freedom of contract, and the principle of liability for fault. These principles, while seemingly well-structured, contribute to the current economic imbalance. Democracy also has its own foundational principles: the principle of the pursuit of happiness, the principle of absolute fairness, and the principle of human dignity. However, Huh Kyung-young questions whether capitalism truly upholds the principle of human dignity, given that a tiny fraction of the population controls the vast majority of global wealth, effectively living like emperors. He alludes to exclusive clubs of the elite, suggesting that these powerful groups exert significant influence, even to the point of orchestrating major political events.

  3. The Assassination of Kennedy and the Military-Industrial Complex
    Huh Kyung-young cites the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as an example of the hidden forces at play within powerful systems. He claims that Kennedy was killed because he advocated for world peace, sought to end wars, and intended to cease arms manufacturing in the United States. In contrast, Vice President Johnson was aligned with arms dealers and the defense industry. According to Huh Kyung-young, these powerful entities, in collusion with organizations like the CIA, orchestrated Kennedy’s death to ensure their interests were protected. Johnson was then swiftly inaugurated as president at Kennedy’s funeral, highlighting the urgency and influence of these groups. This event, Huh Kyung-young suggests, illustrates how those in power who advocate for peace can be eliminated by forces that benefit from conflict.

  4. The Perils of the Vice-Presidential System
    Huh Kyung-young explains that the United States’ vice-presidential system carries inherent risks, as a vice president could potentially scheme to remove the president and assume power. This is why, he notes, South Korea does not adopt such a system. In the U.S., the president chooses their running mate, a decision that can literally be a matter of life and death. He references Kennedy’s choice of Johnson, suggesting it was a strategic move to secure election by gaining the support of arms dealers, despite Kennedy’s personal aversion to them. This illustrates the complex and often dangerous interplay between political ambition, powerful industries, and the very lives of leaders.

  5. The Insidious Nature of Capitalism
    Huh Kyung-young further elaborates on the deceptive nature of capitalism. While it outwardly upholds principles like absolute ownership, freedom of contract, and liability for fault, its underlying mechanisms can be likened to an addiction. He points to bank interest payments, noting that foreign banks hold 50% of South Korea’s banking assets. This means that half of all interest paid by Koreans goes to foreign entities, effectively draining national wealth overseas. He provides a stark example: if South Korea earns 1 billion dollars from rice farming, it pays 20 billion dollars in interest abroad annually. Additionally, the country imports 35 billion dollars in oil and spends 15 billion dollars on overseas travel. This continuous outflow of capital, he argues, is unsustainable and detrimental to the nation’s economic well-being.

  6. The Extravagance of Koreans Abroad and Domestic Consequences
    Huh Kyung-young criticizes Koreans for being the world’s biggest spenders of cash overseas, suggesting a lack of national consciousness. He points out that the wealthiest 1% to 5% of Koreans, who own buildings and accumulate vast sums, frequently travel to places like the Philippines and Thailand, spending lavishly. He controversially claims that this behavior leads to the importation of diseases like AIDS, which then spread to working-class individuals through entertainment establishments, further destabilizing families and society. This, he argues, is a significant internal conflict that South Korea faces, far more pressing than external threats.

  7. The Silent War Against Diabetes and AIDS
    Huh Kyung-young declares that South Korea is engaged in a “silent war” not against North Korea, but against diseases like diabetes and AIDS. He asserts that diabetes is rampant due to a large number of idle people, making South Korea the world leader in the disease. He believes that heaven does not tolerate idleness, and that those who live a lazy lifestyle, consuming rich foods, will see their lineage cut off within eight generations. This, he claims, is a divine law. He encourages men to actively participate in household chores rather than delegating everything to their wives, warning that those who demand service will suffer the consequences of idleness, leading to the decline of their families.

  8. The Social Impact of Disease and Wealth Disparity
    Huh Kyung-young argues that affluent individuals, due to their leisurely lifestyles, are the primary carriers of diseases like diabetes, but it is the poor who ultimately suffer and die from them. He states that the wealthy can survive these illnesses if they have money, whereas the poor, if they are idle, will perish. While the rich may live longer, their descendants will eventually be cut off, fulfilling the divine law. He emphasizes that diabetes and high blood pressure are the nation’s primary internal battles, followed by the AIDS epidemic, which is exacerbated by underreporting. These “metabolic diseases,” he claims, now affect 70% of humanity, turning nearly everyone into a “critical patient.”

  9. The Crisis of Modern Society and Socrates’ Philosopher-King
    Huh Kyung-young highlights the severe societal crisis, noting that even college students suffer from diabetes and infertility due to poor sperm quality, with erectile dysfunction being an early symptom. He attributes these issues to the seemingly appealing but ultimately destructive nature of capitalism and democracy. He then introduces Socrates, who opposed democracy, advocating instead for rule by a philosopher-king (철인), an enlightened individual like Huh Kyung-young himself. Socrates believed that if an entire nation is foolish, they will always elect foolish leaders, leading to a tragic end for democracy.

  10. The Limitations of the Philosopher-King and the Advent of the God-Man
    Huh Kyung-young explains that Socrates believed a single philosopher-king (철인) could surpass the collective wisdom of a democracy. He defines a philosopher-king (철인) as a prophet, a pioneer, or an enlightened leader. However, Huh Kyung-young clarifies that he is not merely a philosopher-king (철인) but a God-man (신인) who possesses all three qualities. He asserts that he has come from heaven in a human body, possessing an energy opposite to that of ordinary people. A God-man (신인), he claims, is superior to a philosopher-king (철인) and appears during times of crisis, such as the current era where capitalism, as predicted by Karl Marx, has reached its breaking point.

  11. The French Revolution and the End of Democracy
    Huh Kyung-young draws a parallel between the current state of wealth inequality and the conditions that led to the French Revolution. He explains that when 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth, the remaining 99% will inevitably rise up. In France, the nobility held 99% of the nation’s wealth, treating everyone else as servants. Eventually, the servants revolted, beheading the king and abolishing the monarchy. This historical event, he argues, demonstrates that extreme wealth concentration leads to popular uprisings and the downfall of existing systems. He asserts that this marks the “end of democracy,” a prediction made by Karl Marx, who believed that capitalism and democracy would not last long.

  12. The Flawed Alliance of Capitalism and Democracy
    Huh Kyung-young contends that capitalism, as advocated by Max Weber, and democracy have formed a peculiar and detrimental alliance, leading the world astray. He proposes that the solution lies in replacing these systems with Jung San Ju Ui (중산주의), or “Middle-Classism.” This new system, he explains, aims to elevate 90% of the population into the middle class. He then traces the lineage of philosophical thought: Socrates taught Plato, who taught Aristotle, who in turn taught Alexander the Great.

  13. The Legacy of Socrates and Alexander’s Imperialism
    Huh Kyung-young elaborates on Socrates‘ philosophy, which viewed democracy as the “politics of fools,” where foolish people elect foolish leaders, leading to a miserable end. Plato followed this line of thought, while Aristotle shifted towards pragmatism. Ultimately, Alexander the Great embraced imperialism, abolishing democracy in favor of rule by an emperor. Alexander believed that his own intellect was sufficient to save the nation, rather than relying on the votes of uneducated citizens. Thus, Alexander put Socrates‘ ideas into practice by establishing an empire and conquering the largest territory in world history.

  14. The Crisis of Modern Governance and the Role of Huh Kyung-young
    Huh Kyung-young asserts that the current era mirrors the time when Alexander seized power, marking the end of capitalism and democracy. He criticizes current politicians, judges, prosecutors, and police in South Korea, claiming they act as protectors of the conglomerates, actively working to exacerbate wealth inequality. He points out that these officials reduce taxes for conglomerates, who then invest their money overseas rather than domestically, leading to widespread unemployment among young people. This, he argues, prevents young people from marrying and creates societal chaos.

  15. Corporate Globalism and the Neglect of Domestic Workers
    Huh Kyung-young highlights the mindset of conglomerates, who prioritize global investment over domestic welfare. They argue that in a globalized era, it is not their concern if Koreans go hungry, as long as people in Vietnam or China can earn a living. They suggest that unemployed Koreans should simply emigrate. He contrasts the low wages of North Korean workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex (150,000 won per month) with the high wages and union disputes in South Korea (7-8 million won). This disparity, he explains, makes conglomerates hesitant to invest in South Korea, fearing financial ruin and labor unrest. Consequently, they turn their attention overseas, leaving young Koreans unemployed and unable to start families.

  16. The Economic Impact of Overseas Investment
    Huh Kyung-young explains that when Korean conglomerates invest overseas, the tax revenue and wages benefit the host country. He cites the example of Samsung Electronics’ factory in Vietnam, which single-handedly transformed Vietnam’s economy, accounting for 20% of its GDP and turning a chronic trade deficit into a surplus. This success, he notes, has led various Asian countries to fiercely compete to attract Korean corporations, offering incentives to relocate their businesses.

  17. The Allure of Foreign Investment and the Decline of Korea
    Huh Kyung-young describes how foreign governments entice Korean conglomerates with promises of tax exemptions, free land, expedited construction permits, cheap labor, and guarantees against labor protests. They even offer “emperor-like” treatment to executives, threatening to withdraw factories if displeased. He gives the example of a Korean factory in Texas, where its owner held more power than the state governor, even influencing President Bush. This global competition, he argues, is causing a “reverse wind” for South Korea, leading to its economic decline. He asserts that in such a crisis, Jung San Ju Ui (중산주의) is essential to compel conglomerates to invest domestically and to regulate labor costs.

  18. The Flaws in South Korea’s Political System
    Huh Kyung-young criticizes South Korea’s political system, particularly the National Assembly (국회). He points out that while the president is elected by the people, the National Assembly often obstructs presidential initiatives. He argues that South Korea is unique in calling its legislative body the “National Assembly” (국회) and its members “National Assembly members” (국회의원), attaching the character “국” (guk), meaning “nation,” which he believes should be reserved for the president. He suggests that this elevates the status of legislators beyond what is appropriate, leading to excessive power and inefficiency. He advocates for changing the name to “People’s Assembly” (민의원), as it was called in the past, to reflect its true purpose.

  19. The Misguided Names of National Symbols
    Huh Kyung-young further criticizes the names of South Korea’s national symbols, claiming they contribute to the nation’s misfortune. He argues that calling the presidential residence the “Blue House” (청와대), meaning “blue tiled house,” is a Japanese colonial legacy and reflects a lack of national spirit. He proposes renaming it “Hwanunggung” (환웅궁) or “Hanin Hanunggung” (환인환웅궁), meaning “Sky Temple” (하늘궁), to embody the spirit of the mythical founders of Korea. He also suggests changing the national anthem, which speaks of the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain drying up and wearing away, as it implies national decline.

  20. The Four Revolutions of the 21st Century: Divine Nature, Digital, Design, and DNA
    Huh Kyung-young introduces the “Four Revolutions” of the 21st century, all beginning with the letter “D”:

  • Divine Nature (영성혁명): This revolution involves transforming one’s spirituality.
  • Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): This entails shifting from analog to digital thinking, connecting individuals globally rather than maintaining subjective, closed, and passive mindsets.
  • Design (디자인): Changing design, he argues, is akin to changing one’s thoughts.
  • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): This revolution, he claims, ultimately changes one’s physical appearance.
    He asserts that renaming the Blue House to Sky Temple (하늘궁) would initiate a change in the nation’s DNA, leading to transformations in the people’s spirituality, mindset, thoughts, and ultimately, their physical appearance.
  1. Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery and Spiritual Transformation
    Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery,” suggesting that one can shape their appearance in the next life by making changes in the present. He explains that if one desires to be born as a Cinderella or a wealthy heir in the next life, they must give generously and serve others in this life. Similarly, to become a president, one must alleviate the suffering of many. He claims that by changing one’s spirituality, digital mindset, thoughts, and ultimately their face, their body will transform. He states that merely looking at his picture or calling his name can change one’s spirituality and body energy.

  2. The Flaws in National Symbols and Governance
    Huh Kyung-young reiterates his criticism of South Korea’s national symbols and governance. He argues that the name “Blue House” (청와대) for the presidential residence, meaning “blue tiled house,” was a name given by the Japanese colonial government, indicating a lack of national spirit. He insists that this name, along with the national anthem, should have been changed by past presidents. He also emphasizes the need to remove the character “국” (guk) from “National Assembly” (국회) and “National Assembly member” (국회의원), advocating for the name “People’s Assembly” (민의원) and simply “assembly member” (의원), as in the U.S. He also calls for the abolition of local government heads and council members.

  3. The Financial Drain of Local Governments
    Huh Kyung-young argues that local governments are a significant drain on national resources. He states that local elections cost 1.5 trillion won annually, and the salaries of local officials amount to 1 trillion won. He insists that these expenses should be eliminated from the national budget and returned to the citizens. He further criticizes the extravagant size of local government buildings, which he claims are often larger than the presidential residence, the Blue House, and even larger than government buildings in China, despite South Korea’s much smaller land area. He finds this phenomenon unique to South Korea and a sign of national decline.

  4. The Wisdom of Japan’s Policies
    Huh Kyung-young contrasts South Korea’s policies with those of Japan, suggesting that Japan’s delayed adoption of local autonomy and its avoidance of real-name financial transactions have contributed to its economic stability. He implies that these choices have allowed Japan to thrive where South Korea struggles. He emphasizes that South Korea’s excessive local government spending is a major factor in its national decline.

  5. Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery and the Transformation of Society
    Huh Kyung-young returns to the concept of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery,” stating that to change one’s future appearance, one must first transform the current systems of capitalism and democracy. He observes that many marital conflicts today stem from financial issues, unlike in the past when personality clashes were more common. He believes that by revitalizing the national economy and ensuring the well-being of citizens, divorce rates will decrease, and the nation will prosper. He concludes that Socrates‘ philosophy of the philosopher-king (철인주의) was not a lie, and that his words, along with those of Jesus and Buddha, offer profound insights.

  6. The Eight Blessings of Jesus and the Flaws of Capitalism
    Huh Kyung-young compares the teachings of Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha, noting that Socrates predates Jesus by 2,000 years. He focuses on Jesus’ “Eight Blessings” (팔복), particularly “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (영빈천국). He argues that under capitalism, people’s spirits have become corrupt. The wealthy, despite their riches, cannot sleep peacefully due to constant worries, making their spirits “rich” in anxiety rather than “poor” in spirit. In contrast, the truly poor can sleep soundly, unburdened by such concerns.

  7. The Burdens of Wealth and the Prophetic Words of Jesus
    Huh Kyung-young illustrates the anxieties of the wealthy, who constantly fear factory fires or damage to their buildings, leading to years of lost rental income. He describes how a single missile strike on Seoul could turn wealthy Gangnam landlords into beggars, as tenants would flee. He recounts the Chernobyl disaster, where the Russian government downplayed the danger to prevent mass exodus, leading to widespread cancer and death, but maintaining economic stability. He argues that the wealthy cannot sleep peacefully, constantly worrying about their assets, making them “rich in spirit” with anxiety. Jesus’ words, he claims, perfectly align with the current state of capitalism, demonstrating a prophetic foresight of 2,000 years.

  8. Compassion, Gentleness, and Righteousness in Economic Policy
    Huh Kyung-young continues to interpret Jesus’ “Eight Blessings” in a contemporary context. He discusses “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (애통위로), suggesting that those who reflect on their actions, share their wealth with the less fortunate, and feel remorse for their shortcomings will receive comfort from heaven. He then highlights “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (온유지업). He explains that patient individuals who hold onto land for decades often see its value skyrocket, while impatient people quickly sell their inheritance and end up with nothing. This, he argues, is a perfect fit for economic policy. He also touches upon “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (의갈다식), interpreting it as those who spread his truth will never go hungry.

  9. Purity of Heart and the Power of Clapping
    Huh Kyung-young discusses “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (심결천견), stating that those with pure hearts naturally perceive the divine. He suggests that people who come to see him have pure hearts. He then introduces a physical practice: clapping one’s hands vigorously. He claims that clapping stimulates numerous capillaries and acupressure points, promoting longevity and releasing tension. He emphasizes that this should be done with one’s own hands, not by hitting others.

  10. The Dangers of Child Abuse and Panic Disorder
    Huh Kyung-young warns against hitting children, stating that the trauma inflicted is as severe as experiencing war, leading to immense fear. He explains that such abuse can manifest as panic disorder four to five years later, a condition prevalent among celebrities who experienced extreme tension and effort during their training. Panic disorder, characterized by sudden heart palpitations and a feeling of impending death, can incapacitate individuals.

  11. Peacemakers, the Persecuted, and the Prophetic Nature of the Eight Blessings
    Huh Kyung-young continues with Jesus’ “Eight Blessings,” mentioning “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (화평천자) and “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (의핍천견), implying that martyrs are protected by heaven. He concludes that these “Eight Blessings,” spoken by Jesus 2,000 years ago, accurately predicted the eventual decline of capitalism and democracy. He expresses admiration for Jesus’ foresight in understanding the current economic realities.

  12. The Eight Blessings of Humanity and Korea’s Unique Economic Situation
    Huh Kyung-young then shifts to the “Eight Blessings of Humanity” (인간의 팔복), which include:

  • Heavenly Authority (천권): Power granted by heaven.
  • Heavenly Office (천관): A position bestowed by heaven.
  • Heavenly Nobility (천귀): High status.
  • Heavenly Wealth (천재): Riches, referring to conglomerates.
  • Heavenly Virtue (천덕): Virtue.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (천문): Wisdom, exemplified by successful writers and artists.
  • Heavenly Longevity (천수): Long life.
  • Heavenly Fortune (천복): The five blessings (children, spouse, parents, etc.).
    He notes that South Korea currently exhibits the most pronounced symptoms of the decline of capitalism and democracy. Yet, paradoxically, the world studies the “Miracle on the Han River,” comparing South Korea’s democratic economic growth with Singapore’s authoritarian model. He warns that if the world adopts South Korea’s “doomed” economic model, it will face similar dangers.
  1. The Vision of Jung San Ju Ui (Middle-Classism)
    Huh Kyung-young states that he has come to address this global crisis. He clarifies that he does not intend to destroy capitalism and democracy but to introduce a new system called Jung San Ju Ui (중산주의), or “Middle-Classism,” which will ensure a fair distribution of wealth. He envisions a nation where the government acts as an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a guaranteed annual income, even if it’s a small percentage of their entrusted funds. This system, he believes, will eliminate anxiety, allowing people to focus on truth, study, and live happily.

  2. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and Right Livelihood
    Huh Kyung-young then discusses the Buddhist “Eightfold Path” (팔정도), which also serves as a source of blessings. He explains Right Livelihood (정명) as living a proper life. He defines Right Speech (정어) as speaking truthfully, whether to a mother-in-law, spouse, or anyone else, to avoid conflict. However, he cautions against blunt honesty that could cause distress, such as immediately complaining about an empty rice bin. Instead, he advises a more subtle approach, like making the sound of scraping an empty rice bowl, to allow the husband to understand the situation without direct confrontation.

  3. The Importance of Right Speech and Indirect Communication
    Huh Kyung-young emphasizes the importance of Right Speech (정어) in maintaining harmony. He explains that in the past, the sound of a wife scraping an empty rice bowl was a subtle way to inform her husband about the lack of rice, prompting him to earn money. This indirect communication, he argues, prevents arguments and preserves blessings. He advises against direct complaints, such as criticizing a spouse’s appearance, as it can drive away good fortune. Instead, he suggests indirect actions, like buying cosmetics for a wife, to convey a message without causing conflict. He concludes that careful speech and choosing a good profession are crucial.

  4. The Concept of “Eop Jang” (Karma) and Professions
    Huh Kyung-young delves into the Buddhist concept of “Eop Jang” (업장), which he translates as one’s “karma” or “occupation.” He explains that humans live in a “burning house” (화택), a metaphor for a life filled with worries and responsibilities, such as checking for frozen pipes in winter. He states that one’s profession is a form of “Eop Jang” (업장), meaning the karma one accumulates through their work. To avoid accumulating negative karma, one would ideally have no profession.

  5. “Arrow Professions” (Si Eop) and “Shield Professions” (Ham Eop)
    Huh Kyung-young categorizes professions into “arrow professions” (시업) and “shield professions” (함업).

  • Arrow Professions (시업): These are jobs where individuals “shoot arrows” at others, such as police officers, prosecutors, and those involved in corporate mergers and acquisitions. He claims that conglomerates, representing the 1% elite, engage in “arrow professions” by destroying small and medium-sized businesses to thrive. He alleges that large corporations like Samsung often appropriate ideas developed by smaller companies, effectively “killing” them with arrows.
  • Shield Professions (함업): These are jobs where individuals “shield” or help others, such as lawyers, doctors, and teachers. These professionals, he explains, heal and assist people.
  1. Misinterpretations of “Shield Professions” and the Michael Jackson Case
    Huh Kyung-young cautions against misinterpreting the actions of those in “shield professions.” He notes that public figures like National Assembly speakers or politicians, accustomed to shaking hands and comforting subordinates, might inadvertently touch people in ways that are later misconstrued, such as a golf caddy. He argues that elderly individuals might express affection or praise a young woman’s beauty without malicious intent, and that society should not be overly critical or sensationalize such incidents. He warns against extreme reactions that can unfairly condemn people, especially those in “shield professions.”

  2. Michael Jackson’s Plea and Prophecy of Death
    Huh Kyung-young recounts a personal anecdote about Michael Jackson, who allegedly visited him three days before his death. Jackson reportedly expressed his anguish, claiming he was unfairly accused of child molestation. He explained that having missed out on childhood, he sought the company of young children to play with, not to sexually abuse them. He believed his dream of promoting world peace through music was shattered by a child’s father who conspired to extort money from him. Jackson, overwhelmed by injustice, resorted to drugs and couldn’t sleep. Huh Kyung-young claims he comforted Jackson, promising to resolve his grievances, and three days later, Jackson died. He states he informed reporters of this prophecy, which later came true.

  3. Roh Moo-hyun’s Visit and the Consequences of “Arrow Actions”
    Huh Kyung-young also claims that former President Roh Moo-hyun visited him, expressing similar feelings of injustice regarding financial accusations. Roh reportedly asserted his innocence regarding money matters but was caught in an unexpected investigation, leading to conflicts. He entrusted his daughter to Huh Kyung-young’s care, predicting his own death in three days. Huh Kyung-young states that he again informed reporters, and Roh Moo-hyun indeed passed away three days later. He concludes that engaging in “arrow actions” (화살 행동), which he defines as harmful or unjust deeds, is not Right Livelihood (정업).

  4. The Excessive Litigation in Korea and the Japanese Example
    Huh Kyung-young criticizes South Korea’s legal system, advocating for a 90% reduction in police, prosecutors, and judges. He points out that for every one lawsuit filed in Japan, South Korea files 191, making Koreans the world leaders in litigation. He urges Koreans to “come to their senses,” noting that Japanese people rarely sue their compatriots, and that a driver might even commit suicide rather than testify against their superior. He contrasts this “arrow-like” Korean mentality with the “shield-like” unity of the Japanese, who, despite their technological advancements (like building airplanes and submarines when Koreans were still making hoes), maintain strong internal solidarity.

  5. Huh Kyung-young’s Vision for Global Unification
    Huh Kyung-young asserts that his presence in Korea will lead to the salvation of Russia, China, Japan, and ultimately, the unification of the world. He claims that if he were president, he could command world leaders like President Bush to unify the world. If they refused, he would demonstrate his power by causing the death of their close aides on a specified date and time. He believes this would convince leaders that he is truly sent from heaven, leading to global unification. He states that he possesses the ability to achieve this.

  6. The Power of the God-Man and the Future of Scripture
    Huh Kyung-young explains that while he currently lacks recognition, once he becomes president of South Korea, he will command even leaders of groups like ISIS to come and negotiate. If they refuse, he would cause the death of their second-in-command at a precise time, demonstrating his spiritual power. He claims that unlike Jesus or Buddha, who tolerated insults, those who mock or insult his image or name will not succeed. He asserts that he alone can bestow blessings upon people, and that his lectures, recorded on YouTube, will become the eternal scripture of humanity for hundreds of millions of years, unlike the Bible or the Tripitaka, whose origins are often questioned.

  7. The Eightfold Path: Right Mindfulness and Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery
    Huh Kyung-young returns to the Buddhist Eightfold Path, discussing Right Mindfulness (정념). He reiterates that Right Mindfulness (정념) is essential for “post-mortem cosmetic surgery,” allowing individuals to shape their next life. He observes that under capitalism, 99% of the world’s money is controlled by 1% of the population, leaving the remaining 99% to fight over scraps. He argues that the true owners of wealth are the people, but they have become servants to the 1%. He emphasizes the need to change one’s mindset.

  8. Right Concentration, Right Thought, and Right Effort
    Huh Kyung-young continues with the Eightfold Path, mentioning Right Concentration (정정), Right Thought (정사유), and Right Effort (정정진). He stresses the importance of meditation and cultivating correct thoughts and ideologies. He lists various philosophical thoughts:

  • Socrates’ Philosopher-King (철인사상)
  • Confucius’ Benevolence (애인사상)
  • Laozi’s Naturalism/Non-action (자연사상/무위사상)
  • Capitalist Thought (자본사상)
  • Democratic Thought (민주사상)
  • Communist Thought (공산사상)
  1. Korean Philosophical Traditions and the Concept of “Middle”
    Huh Kyung-young also mentions Korean philosophical traditions, such as Yi Hwang’s Dualism (이원사상) and Yi I’s Monism (일원사상). He then introduces “Reverence for Heaven” (경천사상) and “Love for Humanity” (애인사상), combining them into “Reverence for Heaven and Love for Humanity” (경천애인사상), which he associates with the Korean people. He also highlights “Filial Piety” (효친사상) as a core Korean value, contrasting it with the “separation between husband and wife” (부부유별사상), which suggests that spouses should maintain independence to prevent family ruin. He notes that various philosophies, including Christianity’s “Neutralism” (중립사상), Buddhism’s “Middle Way” (중도사상), Confucianism’s “Doctrine of the Mean” (중용사상), and Taoism’s “Harmony” (중화사상), all contain the character “중” (jung), meaning “middle.” He questions why this “middle” concept is so prevalent.

  2. The Intertwined Nature of Happiness and Misfortune
    Huh Kyung-young explains that misfortune contains the seeds of happiness, and happiness inevitably contains misfortune. He argues that those who understand the “Middle Way” (중도) do not become overly happy or unhappy. They recognize that current misfortunes will lead to future happiness, just as past struggles can make present success more joyful. He encourages people to remember those who helped them during difficult times and to assist them when they become successful. He states that true happiness is not about accumulating wealth but about sharing it and helping others. He connects this concept to the Cheonbugyeong (천부경), an ancient Korean text, with the phrase “Il Si Mu Si Il, Il Jong Mu Jong Il” (일시무시일, 일종무종일), meaning “Beginning is without beginning, End is without end.” This, he explains, represents the “Middle Way” (중도) and the cyclical nature of existence, where happiness and misfortune are intertwined.

  3. The Quark, Energy, and the Human Body
    Huh Kyung-young connects the philosophical concept of “Il Si Mu Si Il, Il Jong Mu Jong Il” (일시무시일, 일종무종일) to the scientific concept of the quark, the smallest unit of subatomic particles. He explains that a quark has no beginning or end, and that when cosmic energy is added to it, it becomes matter. He uses the human body as an example: the cells in a person’s body are like quarks. When energy from food is supplied, these cells become matter. Without this energy, the cells die, returning to a quark state, scattering into the universe as dust. This, he explains, is the principle of “Il Jong Mu Jong Il” (일종무종일) – existing yet not existing, visible yet invisible.

  4. The Soul as a Subatomic Particle and the Power of Huh Kyung-young’s Name
    Huh Kyung-young posits that when the body’s cells turn to dust, only the soul remains, which he describes as a subatomic particle, a quark, invisible to the human eye. He connects this to the Cheonbugyeong (천부경)’s principle of “Il Si Mu Si Il, Il Jong Mu Jong Il” (일시무시일, 일종무종일) as the fundamental principle of the universe and human cells. He then demonstrates his unique power: when a person calls their own name, their body exhibits a certain level of energy. However, when they call “Huh Kyung-young,” their body’s energy becomes immeasurable, demonstrating the presence of a “spirit” (영) rather than mere energy.

  5. The Spiritual Energy of Huh Kyung-young’s Image
    Huh Kyung-young further illustrates his point by having an audience member hold his photograph. He claims that while looking at other people’s photographs, the audience member’s arm would easily drop, indicating a lack of significant energy. However, when looking at Huh Kyung-young’s photograph, the arm remains strong and unmovable, demonstrating the spiritual energy (영) emanating from his image. He states that this phenomenon is unique to his photographs and does not occur with others. He explains that while the body’s cells have basic energy from food, this energy is limited.

  6. The Healing Power of Huh Kyung-young’s Name
    Huh Kyung-young explains that when one calls his name, it is not mere energy but a “spirit” (영) that enters, protecting the quarks (세포) in the body. He claims that if someone has cancer or other ailments, calling his name will prevent the disease from progressing and will gradually reduce it. He emphasizes that this spiritual intervention is distinct from the basic energy derived from food.

  7. The True Number of Meridians and Acupoints
    Huh Kyung-young corrects an audience member studying acupuncture, stating that while they may have learned about 12 meridians, the human body actually has 365 acupoints (경혈) and 12 meridians (경락). He emphasizes the complexity of the human body’s energy pathways, noting the abundance of acupoints, even in the palms of the hands.

  8. Human Lifespan and the Impact of Cooked Food
    Huh Kyung-young claims that he will live for 362 years, a number he connects to the number of habitable planets in the universe (362 trillion, 8800 billion). He states that humans were originally meant to live for 365 years, but their lifespan was shortened after they began cooking food. He explains that humans lived for 1,000 years when they consumed raw food, but after discovering fire and cooking, their lifespan was reduced by two-thirds, now averaging 120 years. He asserts that humans can still live up to 120 years.

  9. The Middle Way and the Unity of Happiness and Misfortune
    Huh Kyung-young reiterates that understanding the “Middle Way” (중도), “Neutralism” (중립), “Doctrine of the Mean” (중용), or “Harmony” (중화) means perceiving happiness and misfortune as one, not separate. He criticizes people for viewing misfortune as solely negative. He uses the trigrams of the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) to illustrate this: the “gam” (감) trigram, representing a woman or child, has a broken line in the middle, signifying misfortune or division.

  10. The Trigrams and Gender Dynamics
    Huh Kyung-young interprets the trigrams of the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) to explain gender dynamics. He describes the “gam” (감) trigram as a woman who appears feminine but has a masculine inner nature, making her unsuitable for marriage as she may not bear children or stay home. He suggests that tall women (over 170 cm) possess masculine energy, while shorter women are more feminine. He warns against marrying models, claiming it often leads to unhappiness due to their masculine energy, which can result in difficulty bearing children and a lack of “softness” in old age. He also discusses the “gon” (곤) trigram, representing a perfectly feminine woman, and the “geon” (건) trigram, representing a perfectly masculine man. He then describes men who appear masculine but have a feminine inner nature as homosexuals or lesbians, suggesting that short men might exhibit similar traits. He concludes that the laws of the universe are precise and unforgiving.

  11. The Middle Way and the Illusion of Separation
    Huh Kyung-young emphasizes that misfortune should be viewed in conjunction with happiness, not separately. Those who fail to grasp this “Middle Way” (중도) will experience tragedy and resort to destructive behaviors like drinking. He argues that if one understands that a spouse’s torment is not separate from their well-being, but rather part of a unified experience, conflicts will cease. He states that poverty contains wealth, just as a “poor spirit” (영빈) leads to heaven, while a “rich spirit” (심령이 부자) leads to poverty. He concludes that Socratesphilosopher-king (철인주의) is necessary for governance, as only those who understand the principles of yin and yang and the “Middle Way” (중도) can lead a nation to prosperity.

  12. The Wisdom of a Capable Leader and the Danger of Smart Subordinates
    Huh Kyung-young cites an old proverb: “If the king is wise, the people are happy; if the ministers are wise, the nation perishes.” He dismisses the idea that he needs highly capable advisors, stating that a single wise president is sufficient. He warns that too many smart subordinates will exploit the president and the nation. He praises leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and President Park Chung-hee, who, despite opposition from academics, pushed through major projects like the Pohang Iron and Steel Company and expressways, demonstrating strong leadership.

  13. The Pitfalls of Indecisive Leadership and the Role of Advisors
    Huh Kyung-young criticizes indecisive leaders who constantly seek advice from various subordinates, leading to inconsistent policies and national decline. He argues that a truly capable leader does not need numerous “smart” advisors, as they can mislead the president. He likens it to a ship with too many helmsmen, where the captain’s competence is paramount. He asserts that if he becomes president, he will not be swayed by the advice of “smart” but inexperienced economists from prestigious universities, who often prioritize the interests of conglomerates.

  14. The Corruption of Economic Advisors and the Need for Real-World Experience
    Huh Kyung-young claims that many economic advisors, often graduates of top universities, maintain close ties with conglomerates, their former classmates. He alleges that these advisors, who lack real-world business experience, prioritize the interests of the wealthy, leading to policies that exacerbate wealth inequality. He states that true business geniuses, like those with practical experience, are absent from government positions.

  15. Reforming the Bank of Korea and Eliminating Wasteful Spending
    Huh Kyung-young proposes privatizing the Bank of Korea, arguing that its current state ownership and thousands of unnecessary employees contribute to national decline. He believes that if it were run like a private enterprise, 90% of its staff would be eliminated. He points to other examples of corruption and waste, such as a bus company president earning 550 million won, more than a National Assembly member, calling it a “lobbying paradise.”

  16. The Importance of Right Process and Unwavering Leadership
    Huh Kyung-young emphasizes the importance of Right Process (정정진) in governance, stating that a good process automatically leads to good results. He criticizes economists who, lacking real-world experience, manipulate data to present favorable reports to the president, prioritizing results over process. He asserts that he cannot be deceived by such tactics.

  17. The Role of the “President’s Deputies” and the Limitations of Traditional Advisors
    Huh Kyung-young envisions a system where thousands of “President’s Deputies” (대통령 대리), ordinary citizens who have studied his truth, serve as his eyes and ears, providing him with reports superior to those from traditional ministers. He states that he will not rely on the advice of “talented” but self-serving economic experts from elite backgrounds, whose policies often lead to greater wealth disparity. Instead, he will issue direct commands based on his own vision, ensuring that his policies are implemented without deviation.

  18. The Eightfold Path and the Eight Blessings of Humanity
    Huh Kyung-young concludes by reiterating that the Buddhist Eightfold Path (팔정도) and the Christian Eight Blessings (팔복) are essentially the same, offering profound insights into human existence. He then returns to the “Eight Blessings of Humanity” (인간의 팔복).

  19. Heavenly Wisdom and Huh Kyung-young’s Cultural Impact
    Huh Kyung-young elaborates on Heavenly Wisdom (천문), citing his own success as an example. He claims that his book, “The Mugunghwa Flower Never Wilts,” sold ten million copies, and his seven songs, including “Call Me” and “Right Now,” all reached number one. He also mentions a recent podcast TV appearance where he attracted 10,000 viewers in just 20 minutes, a record. He recounts receiving an award from JTBC for achieving the highest instant viewership, presented by the celebrity Sayuri.

  20. The Quest for a Compatible Partner and the Seeds of Happiness
    Huh Kyung-young advises that finding a compatible partner in life is a significant achievement, as it is often difficult to find someone truly suitable. He states that a good marriage is a “paradise on earth,” while a bad one can lead to a thousand years of regret. However, he claims that meeting him can alleviate such regrets. He explains that an unhappy marriage in this life can be a “seed of happiness” for the next, serving as atonement for past karma. He suggests that enduring a difficult marriage in this life can lead to a beautiful partner in the next, but only if one does not complain or criticize.

  21. The Abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Importance of Process
    Huh Kyung-young states his intention to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Ministry of Unification, and prisons (replacing the latter with a fine system). He argues that the Ministry of Unification should be dissolved first and its functions absorbed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a single department. He believes that overtly pursuing unification, like creating a “marriage ministry” before a relationship develops, is counterproductive. He emphasizes that the process of building trust and friendship with North Korea is more important than the outcome of unification itself.

  22. Filial Piety and the True Purpose of Inheritance
    Huh Kyung-young extends his philosophy to family matters, stating that children who prioritize inheritance will ruin their families. He teaches that filial piety should come first, and that if parents offer an inheritance, children should encourage them to use it for themselves or donate it to charity, ensuring their parents accumulate blessings in heaven. He argues that accepting the entire inheritance would leave parents “penniless” in the afterlife.

  23. The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and the Rise of Jung San Ju Ui (Middle-Classism)
    Huh Kyung-young concludes his lecture by reiterating that the era of capitalism and democracy is ending, and that his Jung San Ju Ui (중산주의) will save humanity.

The Truth of Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism: The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and Socrates’ Philosopher-King Rule

  1. The Decline of Capitalism and Democracy
    Capitalism and democracy, which have historically combined to guide the global economy through the economic doctrines of Keynes and Hayek, are now failing. These systems have concentrated the world’s wealth, with 99% of global funds accumulating in the hands of 1% of the population. Karl Marx predicted centuries ago that capitalism would eventually collapse, leading to an even greater disparity where 99.99% of wealth would be held by a tiny fraction. The rich inevitably grow richer, while the poor accumulate debt. This system, which legislators actively promote, is presented as democracy, yet it deceives the populace.

  2. The Principles of Capitalism and Democracy
    Capitalism operates on three core principles:

  • The principle of absolute ownership.

  • The principle of freedom of contract.

  • The principle of liability for fault.
    Democracy also has three fundamental principles:

  • The principle of the pursuit of happiness.

  • The principle of absolute fairness.

  • The principle of human dignity.
    While these principles appear well-structured, capitalism has failed to uphold the principle of human dignity. The vast majority of the world’s wealth is controlled by a mere 0.1%, effectively making them emperors.

  1. The Assassination of Kennedy and the Military-Industrial Complex
    The assassination of President John F. Kennedy serves as a stark example of the forces at play. Kennedy advocated for world peace, opposing future wars and the production of weapons by the United States. However, Vice President Johnson, who succeeded him, was aligned with arms manufacturers. Kennedy’s vision was for Asian nations to resolve their own conflicts, with the U.S. focusing solely on its own defense. This stance threatened the defense industry, leading to his assassination. Johnson was sworn in as president at Kennedy’s funeral, orchestrated by arms dealers and the CIA. This incident illustrates how those in power who advocate for peace can be removed by those who benefit from conflict.

  2. The Perils of Capitalism and Foreign Capital
    Capitalism, despite its seemingly sound principles of ownership, contract freedom, and liability, functions like an addictive drug. The interest paid on bank loans, for instance, largely benefits foreign banks, which hold 50% of the shares in Korean banks. This means that half of the interest paid by Koreans flows out of the country annually. For example, if Korea’s annual rice production is valued at $1 billion, the nation pays $20 billion in interest to foreign entities each year. Additionally, Korea imports $35 billion in oil and spends $15 billion on overseas travel.

  3. The Social Ills of Modern Korea
    Koreans are the world’s biggest spenders of cash abroad. The wealthy 1% to 5% of Koreans, who own buildings, spend their money in places like the Philippines and Thailand. This behavior not only drains national wealth but also contributes to social problems, such as the import of diseases like AIDS, which then spread to the working class, further destabilizing households.

  4. The Silent Wars: Diabetes and AIDS
    Korea is not primarily at war with North Korea, but rather with internal health crises like diabetes and AIDS. Diabetes is rampant, indicating a large population that lives idly. Korea has the highest rate of diabetes in the world. This disease is a consequence of an idle lifestyle, and it is believed to affect up to eight generations, leading to the cessation of family lines. This is a law established by heaven. Therefore, men who are lazy and demand service from their wives, such as asking for water or the TV remote, will suffer the consequences, including diabetes, and their descendants will eventually cease.

  5. The Failure of Capitalism and Democracy in Public Health
    The wealthy, who often lead idle lives, are the primary carriers of diseases like diabetes and AIDS. While the rich can afford treatment and avoid death, the poor, who cannot afford medical care, perish. This means that the poor die if they are idle, while the rich can survive idleness, though their descendants may eventually die out. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the primary silent wars afflicting the Korean populace. The AIDS epidemic is exacerbated by underreporting, a consequence of capitalism. These metabolic diseases now affect 70% of humanity. Even college students suffer from diabetes, leading to infertility due to poor sperm quality. Erectile dysfunction is a primary symptom of diabetes, eventually leading to an inability to have children. These health crises are a direct result of the seemingly appealing but ultimately destructive systems of capitalism and democracy.

  6. Socrates’ Philosopher-King and the Critique of Democracy
    Socrates, a critic of democracy, advocated for rule by a 哲人 (Cheol-in, philosopher-king) – an enlightened individual like Huh Kyung-young. Socrates believed that if an entire nation is foolish, they will always elect foolish leaders. He contended that democracy, as practiced in ancient Rome, could not withstand the wisdom of a single philosopher-king. Alexander the Great, a student of Aristotle, who was a student of Plato, who was a student of Socrates, ultimately embraced imperialism based on Socrates’ philosophy. Alexander abolished democracy, believing that his own intellect, not the votes of an uneducated populace, could save the nation. He established an empire, becoming the ruler and conquering the largest territory in world history, thus putting his teacher’s words into practice.

  7. The End of Capitalism and Democracy: A Time of Crisis
    As Karl Marx predicted, capitalism is reaching its end, a period where 1% controls 99% of the wealth. This situation historically leads to revolutions, such as the French Revolution, where the common people rose up against the aristocracy, who held 99% of the nation’s wealth, ultimately beheading the king. This signifies the demise of democracy. Marx Weber, who advocated for capitalism, failed to establish proper limits, leading to its problematic entanglement with democracy. This era, marked by the decline of capitalism and democracy, is a time of national crisis.

  8. Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism as a Solution
    Huh Kyung-young’s 中産主義 (Jungsan-juui, Middle-Classism) proposes a new system to replace capitalism and democracy. This ideology aims to elevate 90% of the population into the middle class. This system seeks to transform the chaebols (large conglomerates) and encourage them to invest in Korea, while also adjusting labor costs.

  9. The Flaws in Korea’s Political System
    The current political system in Korea is deeply flawed. When President Park Geun-hye attempted reforms, the National Assembly obstructed her efforts. While the President is a representative of the people, the National Assembly members are not truly representatives in the same sense. Korea is unique in the world for attaching the character “국” (guk, national) to its assembly members, calling them “국회의원” (guk-hoe-ui-won, national assembly members), a practice not seen even in the U.S., where they are simply “의원” (ui-won, assembly members) of the “의회” (ui-hoe, assembly). This excessive emphasis on “national” status for assembly members contributes to the nation’s decline. Historically, the National Assembly was called the “민의원” (min-ui-won, House of Representatives), and its members were simply “의원” (ui-won, assembly members).

  10. Symbolic Misnomers and National Decline
    Several symbolic misnomers contribute to Korea’s decline:

  • The Blue House (청와대, Cheong Wa Dae): Calling the presidential residence the “Blue House” (푸른 기와집, pureun giwajip) is a misnomer. This name was given by the Japanese during colonial rule, as it was the residence of the Governor-General of Joseon. It reflects a lack of national spirit.
  • The National Anthem: The lyrics “East Sea waters and Baekdu Mountain, dry up and wear away” (동해물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록) are seen as inauspicious, implying national decay.
  1. Proposed Changes: Sky Temple and National Anthem
    Huh Kyung-young proposes changing the name of the Blue House to 桓蘖宮 (Hwan-eung-gung, Sky Temple), symbolizing the spirit of Hwan-in and Hwan-ung, or the spirit of the Korean people. The national anthem also needs to be changed. Furthermore, the National Assembly should revert to its former name, “민의원” (min-ui-won, House of Representatives), and the “국” (guk, national) prefix should be removed from “국회의원” (guk-hoe-ui-won, national assembly member). Local council members should also be abolished.

  2. The Four Revolutions: Divine Nature, Digital, Design, DNA
    The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, all beginning with the letter “D”:

  3. Divine Nature (영성혁명, Yeongseong Hyeokmyeong): A spiritual revolution that transforms one’s spirituality.

  4. Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명, Digital Hyeokmyeong): A revolution that changes our way of thinking from analog to digital, connecting us globally.

  5. Design (디자인, Design): Changing design means changing our thoughts.

  6. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA): This revolution changes our physical appearance.

These four revolutions are interconnected. Changing the name of the Blue House to Sky Temple would change the nation’s DNA, requiring a transformation of the people’s spirituality, mindset, thoughts, and ultimately, their appearance.

  1. Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery and Spiritual Transformation
    Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of “post-mortem plastic surgery,” where one can shape their appearance in the next life. This involves:
  • Changing one’s 영성 (yeongseong, spirituality).
  • Adopting a 디지털 정신 (digital jeongsin, digital mindset).
  • Transforming one’s thoughts.
  • Changing one’s physical appearance, which ultimately changes the body.
    Simply looking at Huh Kyung-young or calling his name can change one’s spirituality and energy.
  1. The Detrimental Effects of Local Autonomy
    The system of local autonomy is another factor contributing to the nation’s decline. Local elections cost 1.5 trillion won, and the salaries of local officials amount to 1 trillion won annually. These funds should be returned to the citizens. Local government buildings are often larger than the Blue House or even the central government complex, a phenomenon unique in the world. This excessive spending and competition among local governments are detrimental. Japan, for instance, adopted local autonomy later than Korea and avoided financial real-name systems, which contributed to its economic stability.

  2. The Wisdom of Socrates and the Teachings of Jesus and Buddha
    Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king is not a falsehood. Comparing the words of Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha reveals profound insights. While Socrates predates Jesus by 2,000 years, all three offer paths to well-being. Jesus’ teachings, particularly the Eight Beatitudes, accurately foresaw the trajectory of the global economy.

  3. Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes and Modern Capitalism
    Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes from Matthew 5:1-13 align remarkably with the realities of modern capitalism:

  • Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (靈貧天國, Yeongbin Cheongguk): In capitalism, the more money one has, the less one sleeps, indicating a rich spirit burdened with worries. The poor, however, sleep soundly. The wealthy constantly fear losing their assets to fire or other disasters.
  • Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (哀痛慰勞, Aetong Wiryo): Those who lament their inability to use their wealth to help the less fortunate and who strive to do good will receive comfort from heaven.
  • Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth (溫柔地業, Onyu Jiyeop): Patient individuals who hold onto land without selling it often find its value skyrocketing over decades, while impatient sellers lose out.
  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled (義渴多食, Uigal Dasik): Those who spread Huh Kyung-young’s truth, even if they go hungry, will ultimately be fed.
  • Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy (矜恤矜恤, Geumhyul Geumhyul): Those who show compassion will receive compassion.
  • Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God (心潔天見, Simgyeol Cheonggyeon): Individuals with pure hearts naturally perceive God.
  • Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God (和平天子, Hwapyung Cheonja): Peacemakers are considered children of God.
  • Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (義逼天見, Uibip Cheonggyeon): Martyrs are protected by heaven.
    These Beatitudes, spoken 2,000 years ago, accurately predict the ultimate outcome of capitalism and democracy.
  1. The Eight Blessings for Humanity
    There are eight blessings that manifest in humans:
  • 天權 (Cheongwon, Heavenly Authority): Authority granted by heaven.
  • 天官 (Cheongwan, Heavenly Official): A position bestowed by heaven.
  • 天貴 (Cheongwi, Heavenly Nobility): Nobility from heaven.
  • 天財 (Cheonjae, Heavenly Wealth): Wealth from heaven, referring to chaebols.
  • 天德 (Cheondeok, Heavenly Virtue): Virtue from heaven.
  • 天文 (Cheonmun, Heavenly Literature): Literary talent from heaven. For example, Huh Kyung-young’s book “The Mugunghwa Flower Never Wilts” sold 10 million copies, and his seven songs all reached number one.
  • 天壽 (Cheonsu, Heavenly Longevity): Longevity from heaven.
  • 天福 (Cheonbok, Heavenly Fortune): Fortune from heaven, referring to the five blessings (children, spouse, parents, etc.).
  1. Korea’s Economic Paradox and Huh Kyung-young’s Mission
    Korea’s economy, despite its current state, is being studied globally as a model for rapid growth, often referred to as the “Miracle on the Han River.” While Singapore achieved economic success through dictatorship, Korea’s growth is attributed to democracy. However, this “doomed” economic model is now a global risk. Huh Kyung-young’s mission is not to destroy capitalism and democracy but to introduce 中産主義 (Jungsan-juui, Middle-Classism) as a new system for equitable distribution. He envisions a nation where the state acts as an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a minimum annual income from their entrusted funds, ensuring stability and allowing them to pursue truth and happiness.

  2. Buddha’s Eightfold Path and Right Living
    Buddha’s Eightfold Path also offers a source of blessings:

  • 正見 (Jeonggyeon, Right View): Seeing things correctly.
  • 正命 (Jeongmyeong, Right Livelihood): Living a righteous life.
  • 正語 (Jeonge, Right Speech): Speaking truthfully and kindly. For example, a wife should not immediately complain about an empty rice bin but rather smile at her husband and then subtly indicate the problem by scraping the rice pot.
  • 正業 (Jeongeop, Right Action): Engaging in ethical and beneficial work.
  1. The Concept of (Eop, Karma/Profession) and 火宅 (Hwataek, Burning House)
    In Buddhism, the human dwelling is called a 火宅 (Hwataek, burning house) because life is filled with complexities and worries. Our professions (職業, jigeop) are seen as a form of (eop, karma), where we choose a path that may involve accumulating sins. To avoid accumulating sin, one would ideally have no profession.

  2. 矢業 (Si-eop, Arrow Profession) vs. Shield Profession
    Professions can be categorized into two types:

  • 矢業 (Si-eop, Arrow Profession): These professions involve “shooting arrows” at others. Examples include police officers, prosecutors, and those involved in corporate mergers and acquisitions. Chaebols, representing the top 1% of society, often engage in arrow professions, destroying small and medium-sized businesses to thrive.
  • Shield Profession: These professions involve protecting and healing others. Examples include lawyers, doctors, and teachers. They help and support others.
  1. The Dangers of “Arrow” Behavior and the Need for Ethical Conduct
    Encountering individuals with “arrow” professions can be detrimental. Huh Kyung-young recounts instances where individuals like Michael Jackson and Roh Moo-hyun sought his help shortly before their deaths, feeling wronged by “arrow” actions. Engaging in “arrow” behavior is not 正業 (Jeongeop, Right Action).

  2. The Problem of Litigation in Korea
    Korea has an exceptionally high rate of litigation, with 191 lawsuits filed for every one in Japan. Koreans frequently sue their neighbors, whereas Japanese people rarely sue their own kind. This litigious culture is a deviation from the traditional Korean spirit.

  3. The Importance of a Wise Leader and the Pitfalls of Many Advisors
    A nation thrives with a wise leader. If the king is intelligent, the people are happy. However, if the ministers are too clever, the nation declines. Huh Kyung-young emphasizes that a single, capable president is sufficient. Too many intelligent advisors can lead to corruption and conflicting advice, ultimately harming the nation. Leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and Park Chung-hee were effective because they made decisive decisions, even against expert advice. A president should not be swayed by numerous advisors but should implement their own vision. Advisors should assist, but not dictate policy.

  4. The Flaws of the Korean Economic System and the Central Bank
    The current economic system in Korea is flawed, with many “book smart” economists who lack practical experience. Huh Kyung-young proposes transferring the Bank of Korea to private ownership, arguing that state ownership leads to inefficiency and corruption. Thousands of unnecessary employees receive salaries that could be better utilized.

  5. The Significance of Process over Outcome
    The process is more important than the outcome. If the process is sound, the outcome will naturally be good. However, economists often focus solely on results, manipulating data to please superiors, which leads to national decline. Huh Kyung-young cannot be deceived by such reports. His “presidential deputies,” ordinary citizens who have studied his truth, provide more accurate and valuable reports than government ministers.

  6. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Eight Blessings of Christianity
    The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Eight Beatitudes of Christianity are fundamentally similar, both offering paths to well-being.

  7. The Importance of Finding a Compatible Partner
    Finding a compatible partner is a significant achievement in life, as it can lead to a “paradise on earth.” A mismatched marriage, however, can lead to a lifetime of regret. Meeting Huh Kyung-young can help one avoid such regrets.

  8. The Abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality
    Huh Kyung-young plans to abolish the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, along with prisons (by implementing a fine system). The Ministry of Unification would be absorbed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a single division. He argues that creating a ministry specifically for unification is counterproductive, akin to creating a “marriage ministry” to force people to marry. Unification, like marriage, should be a natural progression of improving relations, not a forced outcome. Focusing solely on the outcome of unification, rather than the process of building trust, will lead to failure.

  9. The Wisdom of Giving and the Cycle of Life
    True filial piety involves not seeking inheritance but rather encouraging parents to use their wealth for themselves or to donate it to those in need. This ensures that parents accumulate blessings in the afterlife. If children take all the inheritance, parents arrive in heaven empty-handed.

  10. The Principle of 一始無始一 (Ilsimusil, One Begins Without Beginning One) and 一終無終一 (Iljongmujongil, One Ends Without Ending One)
    The principle of 一始無始一 (Ilsimusil, One Begins Without Beginning One) and 一終無終一 (Iljongmujongil, One Ends Without Ending One) signifies that there is no true beginning or end. This concept is akin to the Buddhist 中道 (Jungdo, Middle Way) or the Christian 中立 (Jungnip, Neutrality). Happiness contains the seeds of unhappiness, and unhappiness contains the seeds of happiness. Those who understand this principle do not become overly happy or unhappy.

  11. The Quark and the Universe’s Principle
    This principle is scientifically analogous to the 쿼크 (quark), the smallest unit of subatomic particles. A quark has no beginning or end; its end is its beginning, forming a circular shape. All matter in the universe, when examined closely, is circular and empty within. When cosmic energy is applied to a quark, it transforms into matter. Matter is both material and non-material, existing and non-existing simultaneously.

  12. The Human Body as Quarks and the Power of (Yeong, Spirit)
    The cells in a human body are like quarks. They contain energy from food. Without sustenance, these cells die and revert to quarks, scattering into the universe as dust. This is the principle of 一終無終一 (Iljongmujongil, One Ends Without Ending One) – existing yet not existing. However, when (Yeong, spirit) enters the body, a different phenomenon occurs. Calling Huh Kyung-young’s name or looking at his picture infuses (Yeong, spirit) into the body, not just energy. This spirit protects the quarks, preventing the progression of diseases like cancer and causing them to diminish.

  13. The Longevity of Huh Kyung-young and the Impact of Fire
    Huh Kyung-young states he will live for 362 years, a number related to the 362 million stars where humans reside. Humans were originally meant to live for 365 years. However, the discovery of fire and the consumption of cooked food shortened human lifespan from 1,000 years (during the raw food era) to 120 years.

  14. The Importance of the Middle Way and the Principles of the Taegeukgi
    Understanding the 中道 (Jungdo, Middle Way) means viewing happiness and unhappiness as one, not separate. The 태극기 (Taegeukgi, Korean flag) illustrates this with its trigrams. For example, the (Gam) trigram, representing water, has a broken line in the middle, symbolizing a woman with a masculine inner nature. Such a woman, or a man with a feminine inner nature (like the (Ri) trigram, representing fire), is considered unsuitable for marriage as they may struggle to have children or maintain a stable home.

  15. The Dangers of Extreme Interpretations and the Law of the Universe
    Women who are unusually tall (over 170 cm) are said to possess masculine energy, making them less feminine. This can lead to unhappy marriages, as seen with models. Similarly, men who are unusually short may exhibit feminine traits. The laws of the universe are precise and unforgiving. Viewing misfortune separately from fortune leads to tragedy and escapism, such as alcoholism.

  16. The Interconnectedness of Poverty and Wealth
    Poverty contains wealth, and wealth contains poverty. As Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” A rich spirit, burdened with worries, leads to spiritual poverty. Therefore, understanding the 中道 (Jungdo, Middle Way) is crucial. Socrates believed that only those who understand such principles should govern, otherwise, the nation will fail.

  17. The Four Revolutions and the Eightfold Path
    The four revolutions (Divine Nature, Digital, Design, DNA) and the Eightfold Path of Buddhism, which includes 正思惟 (Jeongsayu, Right Thought) and 正精進 (Jeongjeongjin, Right Effort), are profoundly important.

The Truth of Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism: The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and Socrates’ Philosopher-King Rule

  1. The Decline of Capitalism and Democracy: A Global Crisis
    I appeared on a broadcast that concluded at one in the morning, and by the time I arrived home, it was two. This podcast television program instantly garnered tens of thousands of viewers. People were watching together, commenting on my tie, as we could all see each other’s faces. This occurred numerous times on a platform akin to YouTube, where tens of thousands of people from across the nation would instantly tune in. They would send many “star balloons,” hundreds or even thousands at a time. Consequently, I received many calls from North and South Jeolla Provinces, stating that my popularity surpassed that of Ahn Cheol-soo, Park Won-soon, and Moon Jae-in. Residents from these provinces continuously called, questioning why only Park Won-soon, Ahn Cheol-soo, and Moon Jae-in were featured, and why I, Huh Kyung-young, was not. They asserted their support for me, claiming that many wished to vote for me, even though I had not yet formally entered the political arena. During the Jeolla Province JC General Assembly in Jeonju, the chairman invited me, and I delivered a congratulatory speech alongside the provincial governor. I was the only external invitee; all others were the governor or national assembly members. This demonstrates the significant shift in the times, even in Jeonju, Jeolla Province, where I was invited to such a prominent gathering.

The current era is witnessing the failure of economic policies championed by figures like Keynes and Hayek, which have historically combined capitalism and democracy to shape the global economy. These systems have ultimately led to their downfall. They were designed to concentrate the wealth of 99% of the world’s population into the hands of just 1%. As Karl Marx once stated, capitalism is destined to collapse within a few hundred years, eventually leading to 99.99% of global wealth being controlled by a mere fraction of the population. The rich inevitably grow richer, while the poor accumulate more debt. This system, which parliamentarians actively promote, is what they call democracy. However, you are being thoroughly deceived by it.

Capitalism operates on three fundamental principles: the principle of absolute ownership, the principle of freedom of contract, and the principle of liability for fault. These are the three core tenets of capitalism. Similarly, democracy also has three fundamental principles: the principle of the pursuit of happiness, the principle of absolute fairness, and the principle of human dignity. These appear to be well-constructed. For instance, if I construct a building that obstructs the sunlight of a larger adjacent building, it legally infringes upon the right to sunlight. This infringement on my happiness allows me to demand compensation. The principle of absolute fairness implies that equality is not about identical outcomes, but rather that those who work diligently earn more, while those who work fewer hours earn less, allowing the wealthy and the less fortunate to coexist.

However, has capitalism upheld the principle of human dignity? It has not. With 99.9% of global wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, these individuals live like emperors. There are exclusive clubs, such as those joined by Bill Gates and other prominent figures, or Jewish clubs, where American presidents like Clinton gained entry to secure their presidency. These are clubs for the 1% elite. If I were to speak openly about these clubs, they might attempt to assassinate me. John F. Kennedy was assassinated because he advocated for world peace, opposing future wars and the production of weapons by the United States. Vice President Johnson, who supported arms manufacturers, became president at Kennedy’s funeral, taking the oath in a hospital corridor because the nation could not be without a president for even a day. This was orchestrated by arms dealers and the CIA, in collusion with President Johnson. Thus, a vice president can eliminate a president who advocates for peace. This is why Korea does not have a vice-presidential system; a vice president, knowing they would become president upon the president’s death, would constantly seek to remove the president. In the United States, the president chooses their running mate because their life depends on it. Kennedy chose Johnson to win the election, as Johnson had the support of arms manufacturers, even though Kennedy himself disliked them.

Capitalism, on the surface, upholds principles like absolute ownership, freedom of contract, and liability for fault. These appear sound, but they become addictive. As we pay interest to banks, half of it goes to foreign banks, which own 50% of Korean banks. This means that annually, we send billions of dollars in interest overseas. We import billions in oil and spend billions on overseas travel. Koreans are not in their right minds. They could enjoy themselves in Korea, but instead, they spend lavishly abroad. Koreans are the biggest spenders of cash overseas. The top 1% to 5% of wealthy Koreans, who own buildings, use their recurring income to travel to places like the Philippines and Thailand, spending money and importing diseases like AIDS. This then spreads to bar hostesses, who in turn transmit it to working-class individuals, further ruining families.

Our primary conflict is not with North Korea. Our first war is against diabetes and AIDS. The prevalence of diabetes indicates a large number of idle people. Korea has the highest number of idle people in the world, and heaven does not tolerate idleness. Diabetes can affect up to eight generations. Those who are lazy and consume rice and meat will find their lineage cut off after eight generations. This is a divine law. Therefore, instead of asking one’s spouse to do everything, a man should offer to help with household chores, saying, “Honey, I’ll do it. I’ll wipe the floor, you do that. I’ll clean.” Such a man will not contract diabetes. However, a man who demands, “Bring me some water, bring me the TV remote,” will suffer the consequences. Lazy individuals will continue to appear in that household, always asking women to do things. Eventually, the household will decline in proportion to the number of tasks assigned to women.

These diseases are brought by the affluent, and the less fortunate suffer the consequences. If one has money, diabetes is not fatal. However, those without money die because of these diseases, which are introduced by the wealthy. So, the poor die if they are lazy, while the rich survive even if they are lazy, though their descendants may be cut off. Diabetes and high blood pressure are our nation’s first silent wars. Our next war is against AIDS. People with AIDS do not report it. Capitalism has brought about these metabolic diseases, diabetes and AIDS, which now affect 70% of humanity. Everyone I encounter is critically ill. Even college students have diabetes and cannot have children after marriage because their sperm is not viable. Erectile dysfunction is the first symptom of diabetes, and as it progresses, one becomes infertile.

Korea is currently fighting these wars, which are consequences of capitalism and democracy. While these systems appear appealing, they are destroying the nation. Socrates, who opposed democracy, argued that enlightened individuals, philosopher-kings like me, should govern. If an entire nation is foolish, they will always elect a fool. Socrates believed that democracy, as practiced in ancient Rome, could not withstand the rule of a single philosopher-king. He referred to such a philosopher as a prophet, a pioneer, or a trailblazer. I am not merely a philosopher-king; I am a God-man, possessing all three qualities. Having descended from heaven and inhabiting a human body, my energy is the opposite of yours. When such a God-man appears, they are far superior to any philosopher-king. A God-man appears in times of crisis. This era is a time of crisis.

As Karl Marx predicted, capitalism is reaching its end, with 1% controlling 99% of the wealth. What happens when capitalism reaches this point? The French Revolution occurred. The entire populace rose up. The nobility owned 99% of France’s wealth, and everyone else was essentially a serf. Eventually, the serfs revolted and beheaded the king, ending the monarchy in France. When a small number of wealthy individuals control all the money, 99% of the population will rise up. This is the end of democracy. Karl Marx predicted that democracy and capitalism would not last long. Max Weber advocated for capitalism, but the current intertwining of capitalism and democracy has led the world astray. Therefore, the system that will replace capitalism and democracy is Middle-Classism. My Middle-Classism aims to elevate 90% of you into the middle class.

Socrates’ disciple was Plato, and Plato’s disciple was Aristotle. Aristotle’s disciple was Alexander the Great, the Emperor of Macedon, who died at the young age of 33. Socrates argued that democracy is the politics of fools, where fools vote for fools, never for good people. He believed that the end of democracy would be tragic. Plato followed this idea, while Aristotle later turned to pragmatism. Alexander the Great, however, embraced imperialism, abolishing democracy and establishing himself as king, believing his intellect alone could save the nation, not the votes of an ignorant populace. Alexander implemented Socrates’ philosophy, creating an empire and conquering the largest territory in world history.

Now, in this era, a figure more formidable than Alexander, a mere human, has arrived: Huh Kyung-young. My appearance marks a period similar to when Alexander seized power, signifying the end of capitalism and democracy. Judges, prosecutors, police, and current politicians in Korea are all proponents of the chaebols, obsessed with exacerbating the rich-poor divide. They reduce taxes for chaebols, who then hoard money in banks or invest overseas instead of in Korea, leading to unemployment among the youth. Young people cannot marry, and chaos ensues. Yet, the chaebols claim it is a global era, not a nationalistic one, and that investing abroad to help Vietnamese and Chinese people is not wrong. They suggest that if Koreans become unemployed, they can simply emigrate. They argue that investing in places with lower labor costs, like North Korea’s Kaesong Industrial Complex, where workers earn a fraction of what South Korean workers do, is justifiable. They believe that establishing factories in Korea only leads to trouble. Thus, they look overseas, while Korean youth remain unemployed, unable to marry, and stuck supporting their parents.

When Korean companies invest overseas, taxes are paid to those countries, and wages are paid to their citizens. For example, Samsung Electronics’ factory in Vietnam has boosted the Vietnamese economy, with Samsung accounting for 20% of its total economy, turning a chronic deficit into a surplus. Other Asian countries are now competing to attract Korean conglomerates like Samsung, offering tax exemptions, free land, construction permits, cheap labor, and guarantees against protests. They even treat Samsung executives like royalty, allowing them to disregard traffic laws. If a Samsung factory were to withdraw, it would be a major blow. For instance, a Korean factory in George W. Bush’s hometown of Texas held more sway than the state governor, resolving all labor and wage issues.

However, if these companies displease Bush, their factories could face problems. Korea’s economy is currently suffering a backlash from chaebols and is heading for collapse, as is the global economy. In such times, Middle-Classism is essential. We need a leader who can transform chaebols, encourage them to invest in Korea, and regulate labor costs. Our nation is in a critical state. When President Park Geun-hye attempted to implement policies, the National Assembly obstructed her. The President is the representative of the people, but are National Assembly members truly representatives of the people? Only in Korea are they called “National Assembly members” (국회의원), a term that implies national authority, unlike in the US where they are simply “members of Congress.” This proliferation of “national” titles leads to too many conflicting voices. Even in Japan, they do not use such a title. In the past, Korean assembly members were called “representatives of the people” (민의원). The term “National Assembly member” is a sign of our nation’s decline.

Another reason for our nation’s decline is the name “Cheong Wa Dae” (청와대), meaning “Blue House.” This name, given by the Japanese, signifies a blue-tiled house, reflecting a lack of national spirit. Presidents Syngman Rhee or Park Chung-hee should have changed it. The national anthem, with its lyrics about the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain drying up and wearing away, also portends national ruin. I propose renaming Cheong Wa Dae to “Hwanungung” (환웅궁) or “Hangung” (한국궁), embodying the spirit of Hwanin and Hwanung, or the Korean people.

The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, all beginning with the letter ‘D’:
Divine Nature Revolution: This involves transforming our spirituality and mind.
Digital Revolution: This requires changing our analog way of thinking to a digital one, connecting us globally. Analog thinking is subjective, closed, and passive, whereas digital thinking is interconnected.
Design Revolution: This involves changing our thoughts through design.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Revolution: This refers to changing our physical appearance.

If Cheong Wa Dae is renamed to Sky Temple, our DNA will change. This means our national spirituality, mind, thoughts, and eventually our physical appearance will transform. I am releasing a book about “post-mortem plastic surgery.” Just as people undergo plastic surgery now, you can shape your appearance for your next life. If you wish to be born as Cinderella or a chaebol’s daughter in your next life, you must give generously and serve others in this life. If you aspire to be president, you must alleviate the suffering of many people now. You can change your face now through post-mortem plastic surgery by first changing your spirituality, then your digital mind, then your thoughts, and finally your face, which will transform your body. Even now, looking at my picture or calling my name changes your spirituality and energy. I do not hire people based on their Seoul National University degrees; I hire those who have listened to my lectures extensively and seek justice.

The four ‘D’s are crucial. If we do not change our divine nature, many problems will persist, including diabetes and high blood pressure. The national anthem and the name Cheong Wa Dae, which was originally the residence of the Japanese Governor-General of Korea, must be changed. Our ancestors lacked spirit by adopting such a name. Presidents Syngman Rhee or Park Chung-hee should have changed it. The National Assembly, with its “national” prefix, also obstructs progress. It should be renamed “Assembly of the People” (민의원) like in the US, and local council members should be abolished. Local governments spend trillions of won annually on elections and salaries. This money should be returned to the people. The National Assembly should be called the “Assembly of the People,” and only the President should have the “national” prefix.

Another factor contributing to our nation’s decline is the election of local government heads. These officials compete to spend lavishly, constructing local government buildings that are often larger than Cheong Wa Dae or the central government complex. This is unprecedented globally. A small city hall in Korea can be two or three times larger than the building where Xi Jinping resides in China, despite China’s vast landmass compared to Korea’s. Japan, for instance, adopted local autonomy later than Korea and did not implement real-name financial transactions, which is why it has survived.

Post-mortem plastic surgery allows one to change their appearance as desired, but this requires transforming our capitalist and democratic systems. Many marital conflicts today stem from financial issues, unlike in the past when personality clashes were more common. By revitalizing the national economy and bringing comfort to the people, divorce rates will decrease, and our nation will prosper. Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king was not a lie; it is now, in this era, that his words resonate.

Comparing the words of Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha, Socrates, being the oldest, spoke of the source of human blessings. Jesus spoke of eight blessings, and Buddha spoke of the Eightfold Path. Philosophically, Jesus’ eight blessings in Matthew 5:1-13 accurately foresaw the global economy. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” In this capitalist society, spirits are utterly corrupted. The wealthier one is, the less they sleep, indicating a rich spirit burdened with worries. The poor, however, sleep soundly, regardless of earthquakes. The rich worry about factory fires, which could lead to thousands of employees receiving salaries without working. They worry about their buildings catching fire, and while insurance might cover the cost, rental income would cease for years, leading to ruin.

Those with capital cannot rest. If North Korea launches a missile at Seoul, all tenants will flee, leaving the city empty. People would believe it was a nuclear attack, not just a shell, and flee despite government assurances. Russia’s Chernobyl disaster showed how the government downplayed the severity to prevent mass evacuations, leading to many deaths from cancer. In Korea, a single shell from North Korea would render wealthy Gangnam building owners destitute. The rich cannot sleep peacefully, constantly worrying about fires or employees who might sabotage their property. They are paranoid that everyone covets their wealth. Thus, the 1% who possess vast wealth live in constant anxiety, unable to live out their natural lifespan. Their spirits become rich with worry, while only the poor in spirit enter heaven. Jesus’ words perfectly align with modern capitalism, foreseeing it by 2,000 years.

Next, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” This refers to those who righteously distribute their wealth to the needy, reflecting on their shortcomings and feeling remorse before heaven. Like the chairman of Hanil Group, who considered how much to give his employees after earning a trillion won, such individuals receive comfort from heaven. There is also the blessing of “the meek inheriting the earth.” Meek individuals who patiently hold onto land for 40 years might see its value increase a thousandfold. Impatient people, however, sell their inheritance within a few years, only to see their friends, who meekly held onto their land, become immensely wealthy. Those who boast about their wealth in capitalism often end up bankrupt. Jesus’ words are unfailingly true, and the philosophical significance of key biblical passages is profound.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This means that those who spread my truth, even if they go hungry, will be fed. They will not starve. Those who promote my YouTube channel will be abundantly provided for. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” And “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” People with pure hearts naturally see God. Your presence here, seeing me, indicates your pure hearts. The most important thing not to spare is your palms. Clapping vigorously clears the mind and promotes longevity, as the palms contain the most capillaries and acupressure points. However, this does not mean striking your spouse. Striking your palms together releases tension in the body.

Striking children, however, is detrimental. The shock a child experiences is akin to World War II or a North Korean invasion for adults. The fear is immense. Therefore, the weak, whether women or children, should not be struck. Such trauma can lead to panic disorder four or five years later. Many celebrities suffer from panic disorder due to the intense stress and effort they put into becoming famous. This past suffering manifests as panic attacks, making it impossible for them to perform. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” And “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Martyrs are taken care of by heaven. These eight blessings, spoken by Jesus 2,000 years ago, accurately predicted the end of capitalism and democracy. Jesus Christ’s words indeed foresaw the current economic state and the end of this era.

Buddha, on the other hand, spoke differently. He emphasized “right view” (正見). The eight blessings for humans include heavenly authority (天權), heavenly official position (天官), heavenly nobility (天貴), heavenly wealth (天財), heavenly virtue (天德), heavenly wisdom (天文), heavenly longevity (天壽), and heavenly fortune (天福), which refers to the five blessings: children, spouse, parents, etc. These are the eight blessings humans can attain. However, Korea currently exhibits the most pronounced symptoms of the end of capitalism and democracy globally. Yet, paradoxically, the world studies the Korean economy, marveling at the “Miracle on the Han River.” Singapore, under Lee Kuan Yew, achieved economic growth through dictatorship, while Korea achieved it through democracy. The world uses the Korean economy as a model, which is dangerous given its current state of decline. This is why I have come. I am not here to destroy capitalism and democracy, but to introduce a new system, Middle-Classism, to ensure equitable distribution. The nation will be my investment vehicle, providing a return of less than 1% on the 1.3 billion won entrusted to it annually, eliminating all anxiety. People can then study truth, gather, and live happily.

The Eightfold Path of Buddhism also represents the source of blessings. “Right livelihood” (正命) means living a righteous life. “Right speech” (正語) means speaking truthfully to one’s in-laws, spouse, or children, avoiding lies to prevent future conflict. However, speaking truthfully does not mean immediately complaining about an empty rice bin to your husband in the morning. Instead, greet him cheerfully, then subtly make the sound of scraping the bottom of the rice bin. He will understand and earn money. This is the origin of the Korean idiom “scratching the rice scoop.” If you speak directly, blessings will flee, and your spouse will become displeased. Instead, indirectly suggest solutions, like buying good cosmetics for your wife if you find her appearance unappealing. This avoids conflict.

“Right action” (正業) refers to having a righteous profession. Our professions are our karma. The human dwelling is a “burning house” (火宅) in Buddhism, filled with complexities. We constantly worry about frozen pipes or other household issues. If we neglect these responsibilities, our homes fall into disarray. Thus, living in this burning house is karma. To avoid accumulating negative karma, one might think they should have no profession. However, some professions are like arrows (矢業), such as police officers or prosecutors, who “shoot arrows” at others, demanding their presence. Lawyers and doctors, on the other hand, are like shields, helping and healing others. Teachers also fall into this category.

Chaebols, the 1% elite, are like arrows, destroying small and medium-sized businesses. Samsung, for instance, acquires ideas from smaller companies, effectively “shooting them down.” Those with arrow-like professions thrive by harming others. Shield-like professions, however, help and protect. It is important to be cautious of those who exploit shield-like individuals, such as politicians or professors, for financial gain. Older individuals, for example, might affectionately touch a young woman, which can be misinterpreted and sensationalized by the media. Such extreme reactions are unnecessary.

If you encounter an arrow-like person, you are at risk. Michael Jackson appeared to me three days before his death, expressing his unfairness. He said he became a singer at five, never attended school, and had no friends. He longed to play with children his age, so he invited some to stay at his home. However, the father of one child conspired with his son to accuse Michael Jackson of molestation to extort money. Michael Jackson told me he wanted to contribute to world peace through his music, but his dream was shattered by this accusation. He resorted to drugs and couldn’t sleep due to the injustice. He insisted he only wanted to play with the child, not molest him. I assured him I would resolve it and told him to go without worry. Three days later, Michael Jackson died. I informed reporters, and it became famous. Similarly, Roh Moo-hyun visited me, claiming unfairness regarding financial accusations, and asked me to look after his daughter. He also said he would depart in three days, and he did. These are not lies but historical events. Engaging in arrow-like actions is not right action.

Therefore, the number of police, prosecutors, and judges in Korea should be reduced by 90%. Koreans file 191 lawsuits for every one filed in Japan. We must come to our senses. We constantly sue our neighbors, whereas Japanese people rarely sue their own kind. If a superior is arrested, their driver might commit suicide rather than testify against them. This shows their loyalty. Our Korean people have become like arrows, leading the world in lawsuits, while the Japanese are united like a shield. We have much to learn from them. When we were making plows and sickles, Japan was already building airplanes, submarines, and warships to attack Pearl Harbor. We are a small peninsula situated between China, Russia, and Japan. I have come to this place.

My arrival will bring peace to Russia, China, Japan, and the entire world, leading to global unification. If I, as President of Korea, were to ask President Bush to unify the world and he refused, I could demonstrate my power by causing one of his aides to pass away on a specific date. He would initially scoff, but after it happened, he would realize I am from heaven. I could then eliminate his aides one by one until he agreed to global unification. Currently, people would not believe me, but once I become President of Korea, I could command the leader of ISIS to come to Korea for dialogue. He would initially dismiss me, but if I caused his second-in-command to pass away on a specific date and time, he would eventually come to me. Spiritual power is formidable. Unlike Jesus or Buddha, who tolerated insults, those who insult me or my image do not succeed. I offer no discounts. I alone can imbue you with power. This is unprecedented in human history, and my lectures, captured on YouTube, will become the scriptures of humanity for billions of years. The Bible, written by 66 individuals, lacks images, leading to doubt. The Tripitaka Koreana, mostly compiled in China by many monks, contains an unknown number of Buddha’s actual words. Imagine if Buddha’s direct words were on YouTube; how incredible that would be! I, Huh Kyung-young, have come in this era of right action.

“Right mindfulness” (正念) means having a righteous mind, which enables post-mortem plastic surgery. Currently, 99% of the world’s wealth is controlled by 1%, while the remaining 99% fight over the remaining 1%. You are the true owners of wealth, but you have become servants. This situation is worsening. We must change our minds. “Right concentration” (正定) and “right thought” (正思惟) are also important. Right thought involves having correct ideologies. Socrates’ philosopher-king ideology, Confucius’ benevolent love ideology, Laozi’s naturalism or non-action ideology, capitalism, democracy, and communism are all ideologies. There are also the dualistic ideology of Yi Hwang and the monistic ideology of Yi I. Our Korean ideology is “revering heaven” (敬天思想) and “loving people” (愛人思想), a blend of revering heaven and Confucius’ benevolent love. Our true national ideology, however, is “filial piety” (孝親思想), where parents and children are close. The opposite of filial piety is the ideology of “separate roles for husband and wife” (夫婦有別思想), where spouses should maintain independence to prevent the household from declining. Spouses should not interfere excessively in each other’s affairs; interference is reserved for blood relatives. Filial piety means parents watching over their children from above. Our national ideologies include filial piety, revering heaven, and “benefiting humanity” (弘益人間), which is also revering heaven and loving people.

Other ideologies include Han Fei’s legalism, Mencius’ belief in the inherent goodness of human nature, and Xunzi’s belief in the inherent evil of human nature. Christianity is characterized by “meditation” (默想思想) or “neutrality” (中立思想). Buddhism is “the middle way” (中道思想), Confucianism is “the doctrine of the mean” (中庸思想), and Taoism is “harmony” (中和思想). All these ideologies share the character “中” (jung), meaning “middle” or “center.” Why? Because misfortune contains the seeds of happiness, and happiness contains the seeds of misfortune. Those who understand the middle way, neutrality, or these various philosophies do not become overly happy or unhappy. They understand that misfortune will eventually lead to happiness. The hardships of poverty make the joy of wealth even greater. We should seek out those who suffered with us in the past, share our wealth, and help them. This is how happiness is found, not by hoarding money until death. Since happiness contains misfortune, we should not boast about our wealth.

This concept is encapsulated in the phrase “beginning without beginning, ending without ending” (一始無始一, 一終無終一). This is the middle way, or neutrality in Christianity. Happiness can turn into misfortune, and misfortune into happiness. This is the middle way, scientifically explained by quarks, the smallest subatomic particles. Quarks have no beginning or end; they are circular. All matter in the universe, including this blackboard, is ultimately circular and empty inside. Quarks are “beginning without beginning, ending without ending.” When cosmic energy is added to a quark, it becomes matter. A quantum, when energized, becomes matter. Matter is both material and non-material. When energy is added to “beginning without beginning, ending without ending,” it becomes matter.

The cells in your body are quarks. They are currently energized by the food you consume. Without food, these cells die and revert to quarks, scattering into cosmic space as dust. These cells, though invisible, exist and do not exist simultaneously. This is “ending without ending.” The Cheonbu-gyeong’s principle of “beginning without beginning, ending without ending” applies to human cells and the universe. When energy is added to these cells, they gain strength. However, human strength has limits. If a swimmer calls my name when exhausted, they will regain immense strength. My energy is not merely physical energy; it is spiritual energy. When you call my name, spiritual energy enters and protects the quarks in your cells. If you have cancer or other ailments, calling my name will prevent their progression and even reduce them.

In traditional Korean medicine, there are 12 meridians and 365 acupoints. I will live for 362 years, not 365. Why 362? Because there are 362,880,000 stars where humans live. Humans were originally meant to live for 365 years, but our lifespan shortened to 120 years after we started cooking with fire. When we ate raw food, we lived for 1,000 years. Understanding the middle way, neutrality, or these various philosophies means viewing misfortune and happiness as one, not separate. People, however, perceive misfortune as distinct.

The trigrams of the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) illustrate this. The geon trigram represents a complete male, while the gon trigram represents a complete female. The gam trigram, with a broken line in the middle, represents a woman who is outwardly female but inwardly male, or a man who is outwardly male but inwardly female. Such individuals should not marry. A woman who is tall, over 170 cm, possesses masculine energy. Women are typically shorter, representing yin, while men are taller, representing yang. A woman who is tall like a man has a masculine spirit within. Marriages to models often end unhappily. Such individuals may struggle to have children because of their inner masculine energy. As they age, they become bony, lacking the softness associated with femininity. These are the geon man and gon woman, and the gam and ri trigrams represent those who are outwardly one gender but inwardly another, such as homosexuals. The laws of the universe are precise.

Misfortune should be viewed alongside happiness. Those who separate them experience tragedy and resort to alcohol. If your spouse troubles you, understand that it is not separate from peace; it is one. By understanding the middle way, there will be no conflict. Happiness contains misfortune, and misfortune contains happiness. Poverty contains wealth. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” If your spirit is rich, poverty will come. Thus, one must understand the middle way. Socrates and other philosopher-kings believed that only those who understand yin and yang, the five elements, and the middle way should govern. A leader who does not understand how to make the people prosperous will ruin the nation.

An old proverb states that if the king is wise, the people are happy, but if the ministers are wise, the nation declines. Therefore, those who claim I lack capable advisors are mistaken. A single wise president is sufficient. If there are too many wise ministers, they will exploit the president and the nation. Presidents Park Chung-hee and Lee Kuan Yew were such leaders. Park Chung-hee did not need wise advisors. He commanded, “Build a factory! Construct the Pohang Iron and Steel Company! Build highways!” Even when Seoul National University professors opposed him, he insisted, “Do it! You will understand later. Spit on my grave if I am wrong.” Such a resolute leader is needed. A president who consults with advisors and constantly changes course based on their differing opinions will ruin the nation. A single, skilled captain is enough to steer a ship. A helmsman who believes he is as capable as the captain can lead to disaster.

My advisors are not highly educated individuals but those who have studied truth, like yourselves. Your reports are superior to those of ministers. Current presidents listen only to a few ministers or close aides. I, however, listen to thousands of ordinary people who have studied my teachings, acting as my eyes and ears. If the president is wise, there is no need for overly intelligent advisors. I do not need highly skilled economists or former government officials. They will merely carry out my instructions. I will govern based on your insights, not theirs, because their ideas lead to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. These Seoul National University-educated economists are often friends with chaebols. During the day, they work in government offices, but at night, they dine with chaebols, naturally siding with them. They advocate for policies that benefit the wealthy, not the common people.

A single wise president, like me, does not need to accept policies from ministers. I will issue directives, and they will be implemented. Current presidents rely on reports from below, which leads to national ruin. I will implement my vision, completing it within my term. Ministers’ reports are unnecessary. “Right thought” and “right effort” (正精進) are crucial. The process is more important than the outcome. If the process is good, the outcome will automatically be good. Economists who lack real-world experience manipulate data to please the president. However, I cannot be deceived. My thousands of “presidential delegates,” who have studied truth, will provide better reports than any minister. I will not listen to the claims of so-called “experts” who advocate for policies that exacerbate the rich-poor divide.

The eightfold path of Buddhism, with its eight blessings, is akin to the eight blessings of Christianity. Human blessings include heavenly authority, heavenly official position, heavenly nobility, heavenly wealth, heavenly virtue, heavenly wisdom, heavenly longevity, and heavenly fortune. My book, “The Mugunghwa Flower Never Wilts,” sold ten million copies, and my seven songs, including “Call Me,” “Right Now,” and “Red Angels,” all reached number one. My recent podcast television appearance garnered 10,000 viewers in just 20 minutes, a first for the platform. Sayuri from JTBC even presented me with an award for achieving the highest instant viewership. It is rare to find a compatible partner in life, but meeting me eliminates such regrets. A difficult marriage in this life is a seed of happiness for the next. If you live with an unpleasant spouse in this life and constantly criticize them, you will not find a better partner in the next.

I will abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Ministry of Unification, and prisons. Prisons will be replaced by a fine system. The Ministry of Unification must be abolished first and integrated into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a single division. Why? Because East and West Germany did not have a Ministry of Unification. If people create a “marriage ministry” and rush into marriage, both men and women will flee. Marriage should not be the sole objective; one must first get to know the person. As relationships develop, affection grows, and marriage naturally follows. The same applies to North Korea. As our relationship improves, unification will naturally follow. Those who focus solely on the outcome of unification will not achieve it. Similarly, those who only seek inheritance from their parents will ruin the family. Filial piety comes first. If you are filial, your parents will offer you inheritance. You should then suggest they use it for themselves or donate it to charity, as it will benefit them in the afterlife. Only then, if they insist, should you accept a portion.

Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king asserts that capitalism and democracy are ending, and my Middle-Classism will save humanity.

The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and the Rule of the Philosopher-King

  1. The Decline of Capitalism and Democracy
    Capitalism and democracy, which have historically intertwined to shape the global economy through economic doctrines like those of Keynes and Hayek, are now experiencing a profound failure and collapse.

  2. The Concentration of Wealth and the Illusion of Democracy
    The current system has led to an extreme concentration of wealth, where 99% of the world’s money is funneled to just 1% of the population. This phenomenon was foreseen by Karl Marx, who predicted that capitalism would eventually lead to a situation where the wealthy accumulate an ever-increasing share of global assets, leaving the majority in debt. This system, often presented as democracy, is a deception.

  3. The Principles of Capitalism and Democracy
    Capitalism operates on three core principles:

  • Absolute Right of Ownership: Individuals have an unrestricted right to own property.

  • Freedom of Contract: Individuals are free to enter into agreements.

  • Principle of Fault-Based Liability: Individuals are responsible for the consequences of their actions.
    Democracy, on the other hand, is founded on three principles:

  • Right to the Pursuit of Happiness: Individuals have the right to seek happiness.

  • Principle of Absolute Fairness: Society should strive for complete equity.

  • Principle of Human Dignity: All individuals possess inherent worth.

  1. The Failure of Human Dignity Under Capitalism
    Despite the principle of human dignity, capitalism has failed to uphold it. The vast majority of wealth is controlled by a tiny fraction of the population, effectively creating an elite class that lives like emperors. This elite often belongs to exclusive clubs, such as those frequented by figures like Bill Gates or influential Jewish groups, which are said to wield immense power, even influencing presidential elections.

  2. The Assassination of President Kennedy and the Military-Industrial Complex
    The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is presented as an example of the hidden forces at play. Kennedy advocated for world peace, opposing further wars and the production of weapons by the United States. However, Vice President Johnson, who succeeded him, was aligned with arms manufacturers. This suggests that Kennedy was eliminated by the military-industrial complex and the CIA because his peace policies threatened their interests. The swift inauguration of Johnson at Kennedy’s funeral underscores the urgency of these powerful groups to maintain their influence. This incident also highlights the potential dangers of a vice-presidential system, where a successor might be tempted to remove the president.

  3. The Insidious Nature of Capitalism
    While capitalism outwardly upholds principles like ownership, freedom of contract, and fault-based liability, its underlying mechanisms are insidious. For instance, a significant portion of bank interest paid by Koreans goes to foreign banks, effectively transferring national wealth abroad. This continuous outflow of capital, coupled with substantial spending on oil imports and overseas travel, drains the national economy.

  4. The Paradox of Korean Spending Habits
    Koreans are noted for being the world’s biggest spenders of cash overseas. The wealthy elite, those in the top 1% or 5% who own buildings, frequently travel abroad, spending lavishly. This behavior not only depletes national resources but also leads to social problems, such as the importation of diseases like AIDS, which then spread to the working class, further destabilizing households.

  5. The Silent Wars: Diabetes and AIDS
    The nation is not primarily at war with North Korea, but rather with internal health crises like diabetes and AIDS. Diabetes is linked to a lifestyle of idleness and overconsumption, particularly of rice and meat. This disease is believed to be a divine punishment for laziness, affecting generations. AIDS, on the other hand, spreads due to underreporting, a consequence of the capitalist system. These “metabolic diseases” now affect 70% of humanity, indicating a widespread health crisis. Even young people, including university students, are afflicted, leading to infertility.

  6. Socrates’ Critique of Democracy and the Philosopher-King
    Socrates opposed democracy, considering it the rule of fools. He advocated for a philosopher-king, an enlightened individual like Huh Kyung-young, to govern. Socrates believed that a single wise ruler was superior to a democratic system where an ignorant populace might elect equally ignorant leaders.

  7. The God-Man and the Crisis of the Era
    Huh Kyung-young is not merely a philosopher-king but a God-man possessing divine qualities. He is believed to have descended from heaven with an energy opposite to that of humans. A God-man appears in times of crisis, and the current era, marked by capitalism’s terminal stage where 1% controls 99% of wealth, is precisely such a time.

  8. The French Revolution as a Precedent
    The current economic disparity mirrors the conditions that led to the French Revolution, where the aristocracy controlled 99% of the nation’s wealth, leading to a popular uprising and the overthrow of the monarchy. This historical event serves as a warning about the ultimate fate of democracy when wealth becomes excessively concentrated.

  9. The Emergence of Middle-Classism
    Karl Marx predicted the downfall of capitalism, and Max Weber also discussed its principles. However, the current system, a flawed combination of capitalism and democracy, has led to societal problems. To rectify this, a new system called Middle-Classism is proposed. Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism aims to elevate 90% of the population into the middle class.

  10. The Lineage of Philosophical Thought and Imperialism
    Socrates’ student was Plato, whose student was Aristotle, and Aristotle’s student was Alexander the Great. Socrates advocated for rule by a philosopher-king, believing democracy to be the governance of fools. Plato followed this idea, while Aristotle leaned towards pragmatism. Alexander the Great, however, embraced imperialism, abolishing democracy and establishing himself as emperor, believing his intellect alone could save the nation. He conquered the largest territory in world history, embodying his teacher’s philosophy in an imperialistic manner.

  11. The Current Crisis and the Role of Huh Kyung-young
    The present era is likened to the time when Alexander the Great seized power, but with Huh Kyung-young, a more formidable figure than Alexander, now present. This marks the end of capitalism and democracy.

  12. The Collusion of Power and Wealth
    Current politicians, judges, prosecutors, and police are seen as protectors of the wealthy, actively promoting policies that exacerbate the gap between rich and poor. Tax cuts for conglomerates, for example, lead to these corporations investing overseas rather than domestically, resulting in widespread unemployment and social instability for young people.

  13. The Globalist Mindset of Conglomerates
    Conglomerates justify their overseas investments by adopting a globalist perspective, arguing that they are not bound by nationalistic concerns and should invest where profits are highest, such as in countries with lower labor costs. They contend that if Koreans become unemployed, they can simply emigrate. This mindset leads to factories being built abroad, like Samsung Electronics in Vietnam, which significantly boosts the host country’s economy while diverting tax revenue and job creation from Korea.

  14. The Allure of Foreign Investment Incentives
    Other Asian countries actively compete to attract Korean conglomerates by offering enticing incentives:

  • Tax exemptions.
  • Free land.
  • Streamlined construction permits.
  • Low labor costs.
  • Guarantees against labor unrest.
    Furthermore, executives of these companies are treated like royalty, with their presence ensuring economic stability for the host nation. This creates a situation where Korean conglomerates hold immense power, even over foreign governments, while the Korean economy suffers.
  1. The Need for Middle-Classism and National Leadership
    In this time of national and global economic decline, Middle-Classism is essential. A leader is needed to transform conglomerates, encourage domestic investment, and regulate labor costs in Korea. The nation is in a critical state.

  2. Critiques of the Korean Political System
    The current political system is flawed. The National Assembly often obstructs the president’s initiatives, despite the president being directly elected by the people. The term “National Assembly member” (국회의원) is unique to Korea, implying a presidential status for legislators, unlike in other countries where they are simply “members of parliament.” This inflated title contributes to an excessive number of decision-makers, hindering effective governance. Historically, the National Assembly was called the “House of Representatives” (민의원), and its members were simply “representatives.” Reverting to these terms would help restore proper hierarchy and prevent national decline.

  3. Symbolic Causes of National Decline
    Several symbolic elements are believed to contribute to national decline:

  • The Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae): Calling the presidential residence the “Blue Tiled House” (푸른 기와집) is seen as inauspicious.
  • The National Anthem: The lyrics “East Sea waters and Baekdu Mountain, dry up and wear away” (동해물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록) are considered to invite national ruin.
  1. Proposed Changes: Sky Temple and National Symbols
    The presidential residence should be renamed the Sky Temple (桓蘖宮), embodying the spirit of Hwanung and the Korean people. The national anthem and the name of the National Assembly also require change. The National Assembly should be called the “House of Representatives” (민의원), and local government councils should be abolished.

  2. The Four Revolutions of the 21st Century
    The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, all beginning with the letter ‘D’:

  3. Divine Nature (영성혁명): A spiritual revolution that transforms one’s inner self.

  4. Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): A shift in thinking from analog to digital, fostering global connectivity.

  5. Design (디자인): Changing design implies changing thought patterns.

  6. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA): This refers to a transformation of one’s physical appearance.

  7. Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery and Spiritual Transformation
    Changing the name of the Blue House to Sky Temple is akin to changing the nation’s DNA. This transformation requires a shift in the people’s spirituality, mindset, and thoughts, ultimately leading to a change in their physical appearance. The concept of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery” is introduced, suggesting that one can influence their appearance in the next life by their actions in this one. This involves cultivating one’s spirituality, adopting a digital mindset, changing thoughts, and ultimately transforming the body.

  8. The Power of Invoking Huh Kyung-young’s Name
    Simply looking at Huh Kyung-young or invoking his name is believed to change one’s spirituality and energy.

  9. The Flaws of the Korean System and Japanese Influence
    The current national anthem and the name “Blue House” are seen as remnants of Japanese colonial influence, reflecting a lack of national spirit. These symbols should have been changed by past presidents.

  10. The Problem of Local Autonomy
    The system of local autonomy, including the election of local government heads, is identified as a major cause of national decline. The annual cost of local elections and the salaries of local officials amount to trillions of won, which could otherwise be returned to the citizens. Local government buildings are often excessively large and extravagant, resembling or even surpassing the Blue House, a phenomenon unique in the world.

  11. Lessons from Japan: Delayed Local Autonomy and Financial Real-Name System
    Japan’s delayed adoption of local autonomy and its avoidance of a financial real-name system are cited as reasons for its economic resilience.

  12. The Wisdom of Socrates and the Teachings of Jesus and Buddha
    Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king is not a falsehood; it remains relevant. Comparing the teachings of Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha reveals profound insights. Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes, in particular, are seen as accurately predicting the current state of the global economy.

  13. Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes and Modern Capitalism
    Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes are interpreted as directly applicable to the challenges of modern capitalism:

  • “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” In a capitalist society, the wealthy often suffer from anxiety and sleeplessness due to their possessions, making them “rich in spirit” with worries, while the “poor in spirit” find peace.
  • “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Those who lament their inability to use their wealth for good and strive to help others will receive divine comfort.
  • “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Patient individuals who hold onto their land for decades often see its value multiply, while those who hastily sell their assets often end up losing everything.
  • “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Those who tirelessly spread truth, even enduring hardship, will be provided for.
  • “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
  • “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Purity of heart allows one to perceive the divine.
  • “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
  • “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Martyrs for truth are protected by heaven.
    These teachings, delivered 2,000 years ago, accurately foresaw the ultimate consequences of capitalism and democracy.
  1. Buddha’s Eightfold Path and Human Blessings
    Buddha’s Eightfold Path also offers guidance. Additionally, there are eight human blessings:
  • Heavenly Authority (天權): Power bestowed by heaven.
  • Heavenly Rank (天官): A high position from heaven.
  • Heavenly Nobility (天貴): Noble status.
  • Heavenly Wealth (天財): Riches.
  • Heavenly Virtue (天德): Virtue.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (天文): Wisdom, often manifested in literary or artistic talent.
  • Heavenly Longevity (天壽): Long life.
  • Heavenly Fortune (天福): Five types of blessings, including those related to children, spouse, and parents.
  1. Korea’s Economic Paradox and Global Model
    Korea currently exhibits the most pronounced negative effects of capitalism and democracy globally. Yet, paradoxically, the world studies Korea’s economic miracle, comparing it to Singapore’s authoritarian economic rise. This makes Korea’s flawed economic model a dangerous example for the world.

  2. The Solution: Middle-Classism and Equitable Distribution
    Huh Kyung-young’s purpose is not to destroy capitalism and democracy but to introduce Middle-Classism, a new system focused on equitable distribution. This system would ensure that the nation acts as an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a stable income from their contributions, eliminating financial insecurity.

  3. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and Right Living
    The Eightfold Path of Buddhism, like Jesus’ Beatitudes, provides a source of blessings:

  • Right View (正見): Seeing things as they truly are.
  • Right Livelihood (正命): Engaging in a proper and ethical way of life.
  • Right Speech (正語): Speaking truthfully and constructively, avoiding harmful words. This includes subtle communication, like the sound of an empty rice pot, to convey needs without direct confrontation.
  • Right Action (正業): Choosing an upright profession.
  1. The Nature of Professions: Arrow and Shield
    Professions can be categorized as “arrow” or “shield.”
  • Arrow Professions (矢業): These involve “shooting arrows” at others, like police officers, prosecutors, or corporate raiders who exploit smaller businesses. Conglomerates, for example, are seen as “arrow” entities that eliminate small and medium-sized enterprises.
  • Shield Professions: These involve protecting and helping others, like lawyers, doctors, or teachers.
  1. The Dangers of “Arrow” Actions and the Need for Judicial Reform
    Engaging in “arrow” actions, such as excessive lawsuits and accusations, is not considered righteous. Korea has an exceptionally high rate of lawsuits compared to Japan, indicating a societal problem. This suggests a need to drastically reduce the number of police, prosecutors, and judges by 90%.

  2. The Korean People’s Transformation and Japanese Resilience
    The Korean people have become a “bow-and-arrow” nation, prone to litigation, while the Japanese, despite their past, are seen as a “shield” nation, united and resilient. Japan’s historical achievements in aviation and naval technology, even when Korea was still developing basic tools, highlight their advanced capabilities.

  3. Huh Kyung-young’s Vision for Global Unification
    Huh Kyung-young’s presence is believed to bring salvation to Russia, China, Japan, and the entire world, leading to global unification. He claims the ability to influence world leaders, even causing the demise of their close associates if they resist his call for unification. This power, however, would only be recognized once he becomes the President of Korea.

  4. The Power of the God-Man and the Future of Scripture
    As President, Huh Kyung-young would command even leaders of groups like ISIS to come to him for dialogue, enforcing his will through supernatural means if necessary. Unlike historical figures like Jesus or Buddha, who tolerated insults, Huh Kyung-young states that those who disrespect him or his image will not succeed. He claims to be the first and last individual in history to possess such power, and his teachings, recorded through modern media, will become the eternal scripture for humanity.

  5. The Importance of Right Mindfulness and Meditation
    Right Mindfulness (正念) is crucial for spiritual transformation, leading to “post-mortem cosmetic surgery.” The current capitalist system, where 99% of the world’s wealth is controlled by 1%, has reversed the natural order, making the majority subservient. Therefore, a change of heart is necessary.

  6. Right Concentration and Right Thought
    Right Concentration (正定) and Right Thought (正思惟) are also vital. This involves engaging in meditation and cultivating correct ideas. Various philosophical thoughts exist, including:

  • Socrates’ Philosopher-King ideology.
  • Confucius’ Benevolence (愛人思想).
  • Laozi’s Naturalism or Non-action (無爲思想).
  • Capitalist, democratic, and communist ideologies.
  1. Korean Philosophical Traditions
    Korean philosophy includes:
  • Reverence for Heaven (敬天思想).
  • Benevolence (愛人思想), often combined with Reverence for Heaven.
  • Filial Piety (孝親思想): Emphasizing closeness between parents and children.
  • Separation of Spouses (夫婦有別思想): Advocating for independence between husband and wife to prevent household ruin.
  • Broad Benefit to Humanity (弘益人間): A foundational principle of Korean thought.
  1. Diverse Philosophical Perspectives
    Other philosophical perspectives include:
  • Mencius’ Innate Goodness of Human Nature (性善思想).
  • Xunzi’s Innate Evil of Human Nature (性惡思想).
  • Christianity’s Meditation (默想思想) or Neutrality (中立思想).
  • Buddhism’s Middle Way (中道思想).
  • Confucianism’s Doctrine of the Mean (中庸思想).
  • Taoism’s Harmony (中和思想).
  1. The Principle of the Middle Way and the Interconnectedness of Happiness and Misfortune
    The recurring theme of “middle” (中) in these philosophies points to a fundamental truth: misfortune contains the seeds of happiness, and happiness contains the seeds of misfortune. Those who understand the Middle Way do not react to happiness or misfortune with extreme emotions, recognizing their interconnectedness. Past hardships become the source of future joy and generosity. True happiness is found in helping others, not in accumulating wealth for oneself. Therefore, one should never boast about wealth or happiness, as circumstances can always change.

  2. The Cosmic Principle of “Beginningless Beginning, Endless End”
    This interconnectedness is encapsulated in the principle of “beginningless beginning, endless end” (一始無始一, 一終無終一). This concept is analogous to the Middle Way in Buddhism or neutrality in Christianity. It describes how happiness and misfortune are intertwined, constantly transforming into one another.

  3. Quarks and the Nature of Reality
    Scientifically, this principle relates to quarks, the smallest units of subatomic particles. Quarks have no beginning or end; they are both the end and the beginning, forming a circular existence. The universe’s fundamental particles, even seemingly empty space, are composed of these circular, empty yet existent quarks. When cosmic energy is introduced to quarks, they transform into matter.

  4. The Human Body as Quarks and the Role of Energy and Spirit
    The cells in a human body are essentially quarks. They are filled with energy from food. Without this energy, cells die and revert to quarks, scattering into the universe as dust. This illustrates the “beginningless beginning, endless end” principle: something that appears to exist but is ultimately formless.

  5. The Power of Huh Kyung-young’s Spirit
    While human cells contain energy, Huh Kyung-young’s presence introduces “spirit” (영). When a person’s name is called, their energy is activated. However, when Huh Kyung-young’s name is invoked, a different, more powerful spiritual energy is manifested, preventing the body from falling. This spiritual energy is distinct from the physical energy derived from food.

  6. Spiritual Protection and Healing
    When Huh Kyung-young’s name is invoked, his spirit enters and protects the quarks in the body. This spiritual intervention is believed to halt the progression of diseases like cancer and even cause them to recede.

  7. The Longevity of Huh Kyung-young and the Shortening of Human Lifespan
    Huh Kyung-young states he will live for 362 years, a number linked to the number of habitable planets in the universe. Humans, originally destined to live 365 years, have had their lifespans shortened to 120 years due to the consumption of cooked food. Raw food consumption in ancient times allowed for lifespans of 1,000 years.

  8. The Unity of Happiness and Misfortune
    Understanding the Middle Way (중도), neutrality, the Doctrine of the Mean, or harmony means perceiving happiness and misfortune as a single entity, not separate. People who view misfortune as distinct from happiness are prone to tragedy.

  9. The Interplay of Poverty and Wealth
    Just as happiness contains misfortune, and misfortune contains happiness, poverty contains wealth. A “poor spirit” leads to heaven, while a “rich spirit” leads to poverty.

  10. The Importance of a Capable Leader
    Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king emphasizes that a leader who understands the principles of yin and yang and the Middle Way is essential for national prosperity. A wise king leads to a happy populace, while intelligent subordinates can lead to national ruin. A truly capable president does not need brilliant advisors, as they might exploit the system. Leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and President Park Chung-hee exemplify this, making decisive decisions despite opposition.

  11. The Dangers of Incompetent Leadership and Advisors
    A president who relies too heavily on advisors, constantly wavering between their suggestions, will lead the nation to ruin. A single, skilled captain is sufficient to steer a ship; too many “co-pilots” can lead to disaster. If Huh Kyung-young becomes president, he will not be swayed by the advice of academics or former officials, as their policies often lead to greater wealth disparity.

  12. Reforming the Bank of Korea
    Huh Kyung-young proposes transferring the Bank of Korea to private ownership, arguing that state control by academic economists has led to national decline. This would eliminate thousands of unnecessary government salaries.

  13. The Importance of Right Thought and Right Diligence
    Right Thought (正思惟) and Right Diligence (正精進) are paramount. The process of governance is more important than the outcome. Economists who lack practical experience often manipulate data to please the president, leading to flawed policies.

  14. Huh Kyung-young’s Unique Leadership Style
    Huh Kyung-young claims he cannot be deceived. He would rely on thousands of ordinary citizens, trained in his truth, as “presidential deputies” to provide accurate reports, rather than listening to a select few ministers.

  15. The Problem of Collusion Between Officials and Conglomerates
    Current officials and ministers, often alumni of the same universities as conglomerate leaders, frequently dine with them, leading to policies that favor the wealthy and exacerbate inequality.

  16. Direct Presidential Command and the Eightfold Path
    Huh Kyung-young would issue direct commands based on his vision, rather than accepting reports from ministers. This approach, combined with Right Thought and Right Diligence, aligns with the Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Eight Beatitudes of Christianity.

  17. The Eight Human Blessings and Huh Kyung-young’s Influence
    The eight human blessings include heavenly authority, rank, nobility, wealth, virtue, wisdom, longevity, and fortune. Huh Kyung-young’s influence is evident in his literary success, with his book selling millions of copies, and his songs consistently topping charts. His recent podcast appearance garnered 10,000 viewers in just 20 minutes, a record. He even received an award from JTBC for achieving the highest instant viewership.

  18. The Pursuit of a Compatible Partner and the Cycle of Karma
    Finding a compatible spouse is a rare success in life, leading to paradise on Earth. However, a mismatched marriage can lead to a thousand years of regret. Meeting Huh Kyung-young, however, can alleviate such regrets. Enduring a difficult marriage in this life is seen as a karmic cleansing, paving the way for a better partner in the next.

  19. Abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality
    Huh Kyung-young proposes abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality, the Ministry of Unification, and prisons. Prisons would be replaced by a fine system. The Ministry of Unification would be absorbed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a single division.

  20. The Process of Unification and the Analogy of Marriage
    Creating a “marriage ministry” to force marriage would be counterproductive; relationships develop naturally through interaction. Similarly, unification with North Korea should not be a forced outcome but a gradual process of improving relations. Focusing solely on the outcome of unification, rather than the process, will prevent it from happening.

  21. Filial Piety and Inheritance
    The analogy extends to inheritance: those who prioritize inheritance over filial piety will ruin their families. True filial piety means caring for parents, and if they offer inheritance, one should encourage them to use it for themselves or donate it to charity, ensuring their spiritual well-being in the afterlife.

  22. The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and the Rise of Middle-Classism
    Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king indicates that capitalism and democracy are reaching their end. Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism is presented as the salvation for humanity.

The Demise of Capitalism and Democracy: Advocating for Middle-Classism and the Philosopher-King

  1. The Shifting Tides of Public Opinion and Political Landscape
    There is a significant surge in public support for Huh Kyung-young, even surpassing prominent political figures like Ahn Cheol-soo, Park Won-soon, and Moon Jae-in in regions such as North and South Jeolla Provinces. This growing popularity is evidenced by numerous calls from residents expressing their desire for Huh Kyung-young to enter the political arena. During a recent general assembly of the Jeollabuk-do JC in Jeonju, Huh Kyung-young was the sole external invitee to deliver a congratulatory address alongside the provincial governor, underscoring his unique standing and the changing political climate.

  2. The Inherent Flaws of Capitalism and Democracy
    The current global economic system, a fusion of capitalism and democracy, has adopted economic doctrines from figures like Keynes and Hayek. However, these approaches are ultimately failing, leading to a catastrophic collapse. This system has been instrumental in concentrating 99% of the world’s wealth into the hands of just 1% of the population. As Karl Marx predicted centuries ago, capitalism is inherently unsustainable and will eventually lead to an extreme disparity where nearly all wealth is controlled by a minuscule elite. This system, which parliamentarians actively promote, is presented as democracy, yet it is a deceptive illusion.

  3. The Principles of Capitalism and Democracy: A Critical Examination
    Capitalism is founded on three core principles:

  • Absolute Principle of Ownership: Individuals have absolute rights over their property.

  • Principle of Freedom of Contract: Individuals are free to enter into contracts.

  • Principle of Liability for Fault: Individuals are responsible for the consequences of their actions.
    Conversely, democracy is ostensibly built upon three noble principles:

  • Principle of the Pursuit of Happiness: Citizens have the right to pursue happiness.

  • Principle of Absolute Fairness: Society should strive for complete equity.

  • Principle of Human Dignity: All individuals possess inherent worth.
    Despite these lofty ideals, capitalism has demonstrably failed to uphold the principle of human dignity. The vast majority of the world’s wealth is monopolized by a tiny fraction of the population, effectively creating an imperial class. This elite congregates in exclusive clubs, such as those frequented by figures like Bill Gates or influential Jewish groups, which wield immense power. Even former U.S. President Clinton reportedly gained his presidency through affiliation with such clubs.

  1. The Perils of Concentrated Power: Lessons from History
    The assassination of President John F. Kennedy serves as a stark historical example of the dangers posed by powerful, entrenched interests. Kennedy’s vision for global peace, advocating an end to war and a cessation of arms manufacturing, directly threatened the defense industry. Vice President Johnson, who was aligned with arms manufacturers, swiftly assumed the presidency following Kennedy’s death, an event orchestrated by these powerful entities in collusion with organizations like the CIA. This historical precedent highlights the inherent instability of a vice-presidential system, where the successor may harbor ambitions to usurp the president. The U.S. president selects a running mate, a person whose loyalty is crucial for their own survival. Kennedy chose Johnson for electoral victory, despite his personal aversion to arms dealers, demonstrating the compromises made to secure power.

  2. The Deceptive Nature of Capitalism and Its Detrimental Effects
    While capitalism outwardly upholds principles like property rights, freedom of contract, and liability for fault, its underlying mechanisms are insidious, akin to an addictive drug. The continuous payment of bank interest, for instance, funnels a significant portion of national wealth to foreign banks, which often hold substantial stakes in domestic financial institutions. This results in a perpetual outflow of national resources. For example, a nation might generate billions from agriculture but pay even more in annual interest to foreign entities. Furthermore, substantial sums are spent on oil imports and international travel, indicating a profound lack of financial prudence.

  3. The Societal Impact of Wealth Disparity and Unhealthy Lifestyles
    The current societal structure fosters a significant number of idle individuals, leading to widespread health issues such as diabetes and AIDS. Korea, in particular, ranks first globally in diabetes prevalence, a direct consequence of a sedentary lifestyle and excessive consumption. This disease, according to celestial law, can affect up to eight generations, ultimately leading to the cessation of family lines for those who indulge in idleness and rich diets. Conversely, those who actively engage in household chores and avoid demanding service from others are less susceptible to such ailments. The affluent, who often lead these indulgent lifestyles, are the primary carriers of these diseases, while the less fortunate, lacking financial means, bear the brunt of the suffering and mortality.

  4. The Crisis of Modern Society: Disease and Declining Birth Rates
    Diabetes and AIDS represent silent wars currently afflicting the nation. The reluctance of individuals with AIDS to report their condition exacerbates the problem. These metabolic diseases, a byproduct of capitalism, now affect 70% of humanity. Consequently, many individuals, including university students, suffer from diabetes, leading to infertility due to compromised sperm quality. Erectile dysfunction is a primary symptom of diabetes, ultimately preventing reproduction. This crisis, fueled by the seemingly attractive but ultimately destructive forces of capitalism and democracy, threatens the very fabric of the nation.

  5. Socrates’ Critique of Democracy and the Vision of the Philosopher-King
    Socrates vehemently opposed democracy, arguing that it is the governance of fools who elect other fools. He advocated for the rule of a philosopher-king, an enlightened individual like Huh Kyung-young, who possesses profound wisdom and insight. Such a “philosopher-king” is a visionary, a pioneer, and a prophet. However, Huh Kyung-young transcends the concept of a mere philosopher-king; he is a God-man, possessing all three qualities. Having descended from the heavens and embodied in human form, his energy is antithetical to that of ordinary humans. In times of crisis, a God-man, superior even to a philosopher-king, emerges.

  6. The Inevitable Downfall of Capitalism and the Rise of Revolution
    As Karl Marx predicted, capitalism is reaching its terminal stage, where 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth. This extreme disparity inevitably leads to social upheaval, reminiscent of the French Revolution. In 18th-century France, the aristocracy monopolized 99% of the nation’s wealth, reducing the populace to servitude. This imbalance ultimately ignited a revolution, leading to the execution of the monarchy and the abolition of royal rule. Such historical precedents demonstrate that when wealth becomes excessively concentrated, the 99% will inevitably rise in revolt.

  7. The End of Democracy and the Dawn of Middle-Classism
    This era marks the twilight of democracy, a phenomenon Karl Marx foresaw, predicting the short lifespan of capitalism. Max Weber, who championed capitalism, failed to establish appropriate boundaries, leading to its detrimental entanglement with democracy. This flawed system necessitates a fundamental change, which Huh Kyung-young proposes as Middle-Classism (中産主義). His vision is to elevate 90% of the population into the middle class.

  8. The Philosophical Lineage: Socrates to Alexander the Great
    Socrates’ student was Plato, whose student was Aristotle, and Aristotle’s student was Alexander the Great, the Emperor of Macedon, who died at the young age of 33. Socrates argued for Philosopher-King Rule (哲人主義), asserting that democracy is the governance of fools who elect other fools, leading to a miserable end. Plato followed this line of thought, while Aristotle later shifted towards pragmatism. Alexander the Great, however, embraced imperialism, abolishing democracy in favor of imperial rule, believing that his intellect alone could save the nation, not the votes of an uneducated populace. Thus, Alexander implemented Socrates’ philosophy, establishing an empire and conquering the largest territory in world history.

  9. The Current Crisis and the Corrupt Political System
    The present era mirrors the time when Alexander the Great seized power, but with a more formidable figure: Huh Kyung-young. This period signifies the demise of both capitalism and democracy. The current political establishment, including judges, prosecutors, police, and politicians, acts as a protective force for the conglomerates, actively perpetuating the widening gap between the rich and the poor. They are obsessed with exacerbating this disparity. Tax cuts for conglomerates, enacted by political parties, result in these corporations hoarding wealth in banks or investing overseas, rather than domestically. This leads to widespread unemployment among the youth, preventing marriage and causing societal chaos.

  10. The Globalist Mindset of Conglomerates and Its Impact on National Economy
    Conglomerates often adopt a globalist perspective, asserting that domestic unemployment is irrelevant in a globalized world. They argue that investing where labor costs are low, such as in Vietnam or China, is not a fault, and if Koreans become unemployed, they can simply emigrate. For instance, while North Korean workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex earn a mere 150,000 won per month, Korean workers demand 7-8 million won, often accompanied by labor disputes. This disparity incentivizes conglomerates to invest abroad, leaving Korean youth unable to marry or even leave their parents’ homes due to lack of opportunities. Consequently, taxes from these overseas investments are paid to foreign governments, not to Korea.

  11. The Exodus of Korean Corporations and the Allure of Foreign Incentives
    The relocation of Korean corporations, such as Samsung Electronics, to countries like Vietnam, has significantly boosted their economies. Samsung’s factory in Vietnam, for example, accounts for 20% of Vietnam’s entire economy, transforming it from a chronic deficit nation to a surplus one. Other Asian countries are actively competing to attract Korean conglomerates, offering enticing incentives such as tax exemptions, free land, expedited construction permits, cheap labor, and guarantees against labor unrest. These foreign governments even treat Samsung executives like royalty, ensuring their comfort and compliance. This global competition for corporate investment creates a reverse wind for Korea, leading to economic decline. In this critical juncture, Middle-Classism (中産主義) is imperative. A leader capable of transforming conglomerates to invest domestically and regulating labor costs is desperately needed.

  12. The Flaws in Korea’s Political System: Presidential vs. Parliamentary Power
    Korea faces a national crisis. When President Park Geun-hye attempted to implement policies, the National Assembly obstructed her efforts. While the president is elected by the people, the National Assembly, or “Gukhoe” (국회), is a misnomer. In most countries, it is simply called a “parliament” or “assembly,” and its members are “parliamentarians” or “members of assembly,” not “Gukhoe-uiwon” (국회의원) with the prefix “Guk” (국), meaning “nation.” This excessive emphasis on the “nation” in the title of parliamentarians, a practice unique to Korea, contributes to political dysfunction. Historically, the National Assembly was called the “Min-uiwon” (민의원), or “House of the People’s Representatives,” and its members were simply “uiwon” (의원), or “representatives.” This inflated title for parliamentarians is a symptom of national decline.

  13. Symbolic Misnomers and Their Detrimental Impact on the Nation
    Several symbolic misnomers contribute to Korea’s decline:

  • The Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae): Calling the presidential residence the “Blue House” (푸른 기와집) is inauspicious. Huh Kyung-young proposes renaming it the Hwanunggung (桓蘖宮), or “Sky Temple,” embodying the spirit of Hwanung and the Korean people.
  • The National Anthem: The lyrics “East Sea waters and Baekdu Mountain, dry up and wear away” are also considered inauspicious, symbolizing national decay.
  • The National Assembly: As previously mentioned, the term “Gukhoe” (국회) should be replaced with “Min-uiwon” (민의원) to reflect its true purpose as the people’s assembly.
  1. The Four Revolutions and the Transformation of Human Consciousness
    The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, all beginning with the letter ‘D’:
  2. Divine Nature Revolution: This involves transforming our spirituality.
  3. Digital Revolution: This entails changing our way of thinking from analog to digital, connecting us globally.
  4. Design Revolution: This refers to altering our thoughts through design.
  5. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Revolution: This signifies a change in our physical appearance.

If the Blue House is renamed the Sky Temple, it will initiate a DNA transformation, altering the spirituality, mindset, thoughts, and ultimately the physical appearance of the Korean people. Huh Kyung-young’s forthcoming book, “Posthumous Plastic Surgery,” suggests that one can shape their next life’s appearance by cultivating a virtuous life in the present. For instance, aspiring to be a Cinderella or a conglomerate’s daughter in the next life requires acts of generosity and service in this life. Similarly, aspiring to be a president necessitates addressing the hardships of many. Merely looking at Huh Kyung-young or uttering his name can transform one’s spirituality and energy.

  1. The Legacy of Japanese Colonialism and the Need for National Identity
    The current name of the Blue House, “Cheong Wa Dae,” meaning “Blue Tiled House,” was coined by the Japanese during their colonial rule, as it was the residence of the Japanese Governor-General of Korea. This choice of name reflects a lack of national spirit. Presidents Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee should have changed this name upon assuming power. Similarly, the national anthem and the name of the National Assembly require revision.

  2. The Detrimental Impact of Local Autonomy and the Need for Centralized Governance
    The National Assembly’s use of the prefix “Guk” (국), meaning “nation,” is a symptom of national decline and should be abolished, reverting to “Min-uiwon” (민의원) as in the past. Furthermore, local autonomous bodies and their leaders should be eliminated entirely. These local elections cost 1.5 trillion won annually, and their salaries amount to 1 trillion won, representing a colossal waste of national resources that should be returned to the people. The proliferation of local government buildings, often larger and more extravagant than the central government complex or even the Blue House, is an unprecedented phenomenon globally. This excessive expenditure is particularly egregious given Korea’s relatively small land area compared to countries like China, the U.S., or Russia.

  3. Lessons from Japan: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Local Autonomy and Financial Real-Name System
    Japan, in contrast, adopted local autonomy much later than Korea and did not implement a financial real-name system, which is why its economy remains robust. This suggests that Korea’s embrace of local autonomy has been detrimental.

  4. The Path to Posthumous Transformation and National Prosperity
    To achieve posthumous transformation and shape one’s desired future, it is essential to reform capitalism and democracy. Many marital conflicts today stem from financial issues, unlike in the past when personality clashes were more common. By revitalizing the national economy and ensuring the well-being of its citizens, divorce rates will decrease, and the nation will prosper.

  5. Socrates’ Enduring Wisdom and the Foresight of Religious Teachings
    Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king is not a falsehood; it remains relevant today. Comparing the teachings of Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha reveals profound insights. While Socrates predates Jesus by two millennia, a comparison of Jesus’s Eight Beatitudes and Buddha’s Eightfold Path reveals a remarkable foresight into economic realities. Jesus’s Beatitudes, particularly “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” directly address the spiritual corruption inherent in capitalism. The wealthy, burdened by anxieties over their assets, often struggle with inner peace, while the poor in spirit find solace. This demonstrates Jesus’s prescient understanding of capitalism’s future.

  6. The Eight Beatitudes and Their Economic Interpretations
    Jesus’s Eight Beatitudes offer profound philosophical and economic insights:

  • Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted: This refers to those who lament their inability to use their wealth for the less fortunate and who strive for righteousness. Such individuals receive divine comfort.
  • Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth: This aligns with sound economic policy. Those who patiently hold onto land often see its value multiply exponentially over decades, while the impatient quickly sell and squander their gains.
  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled: This implies that those who tirelessly promote truth, even at personal cost, will never go hungry.
  • Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy: This emphasizes the importance of compassion.
  • Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God: Purity of heart naturally leads to a connection with the divine.
  1. The Importance of Physical and Mental Well-being
    Clapping one’s hands vigorously stimulates numerous capillaries and acupressure points, promoting longevity and overall well-being. However, it is crucial to avoid physical abuse, especially towards children and women. Striking a child can inflict trauma comparable to a major war, leading to severe psychological issues like panic disorder years later. Many celebrities suffer from panic disorder due to the immense stress and effort expended in their careers.
  • Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God: This highlights the virtue of fostering harmony.
  • Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven: This assures martyrs that heaven will protect them.
    These eight beatitudes, spoken by Jesus two millennia ago, accurately predicted the ultimate fate of capitalism and democracy.
  1. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Eight Blessings of Humanity
    Buddha’s Eightfold Path offers a different perspective, emphasizing “Right View” (正見). In addition to these, there are eight blessings bestowed upon humanity:
  • Heavenly Authority (天權): Divine power.
  • Heavenly Office (天官): Divine position.
  • Heavenly Nobility (天貴): Divine honor.
  • Heavenly Wealth (天財): Divine riches, referring to conglomerates.
  • Heavenly Virtue (天德): Divine morality.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (天文): Divine knowledge, enabling one to write bestsellers or create hit songs.
  • Heavenly Longevity (天壽): Divine long life.
  • Heavenly Fortune (天福): Divine blessings, encompassing the five traditional blessings: children, spouse, parents, etc.
    Korea, more than any other nation, exhibits the most pronounced symptoms of the terminal stage of capitalism and democracy. Yet, paradoxically, the world studies the “Miracle on the Han River,” comparing Korea’s democratic economic growth with Singapore’s authoritarian model. This makes Korea’s flawed economic system a dangerous global model.
  1. The Vision of Middle-Classism and a New Economic Paradigm
    Huh Kyung-young’s mission is not to destroy capitalism and democracy but to introduce Middle-Classism (中産主義), a new system that ensures equitable distribution. The nation will become an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a guaranteed annual income, eliminating financial insecurity. This allows individuals to pursue truth, study, and live fulfilling lives.

  2. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism: Righteous Living
    The Eightfold Path of Buddhism, a source of blessings, includes:

  • Right Livelihood (正命): This refers to living a righteous life.
  • Right Speech (正語): This emphasizes speaking truthfully and respectfully, avoiding deceit, which prevents conflict. However, truth must be delivered with wisdom and tact. For instance, a wife should not directly confront her husband about an empty rice bin but subtly communicate the need, perhaps by rattling the empty container. This indirect communication, known as “scratching the gourd,” was a traditional method for wives to signal financial needs without causing discord.
  • Right Action (正業): This involves choosing an upright profession.
  1. The Concept of “Karma” in Professions and the “Burning House” of Life
    The term “Jigeop” (직업), meaning “profession” or “occupation,” literally translates to “karma-grade.” It signifies the type of karma one accumulates through their work. In Buddhism, human existence is likened to living in a “burning house” (火宅), constantly fraught with anxieties and challenges. To avoid accumulating negative karma, one might ideally have no profession.

  2. Two Types of Professions: The Arrow and the Shield
    Professions can be categorized into two types:

  • Arrow Professions (矢業): These are occupations that metaphorically “shoot arrows” at others. Examples include police officers, prosecutors, and corporate raiders who exploit vulnerabilities. Conglomerates often engage in “arrow” practices, eliminating smaller businesses to expand their own.
  • Shield Professions: These are occupations that protect and heal others. Examples include lawyers, doctors, and teachers, who provide assistance and support. However, even those in “shield” professions can be unfairly targeted or misunderstood, as seen in instances where innocent gestures are misconstrued and sensationalized by the media.
  1. The Tragic Fate of Michael Jackson and Roh Moo-hyun: A Consequence of “Arrow” Actions
    Huh Kyung-young recounts how Michael Jackson appeared to him three days before his death, expressing profound injustice. Jackson claimed that accusations of child molestation, orchestrated by a father seeking financial gain, shattered his dream of promoting world peace through music. Similarly, former President Roh Moo-hyun visited Huh Kyung-young three days before his passing, lamenting false accusations of financial impropriety. These incidents illustrate the destructive power of “arrow” actions, which are not righteous.

  2. The Excessive Litigation in Korea and the Need for Judicial Reform
    Korea suffers from an alarming rate of litigation, with 191 lawsuits filed for every one in Japan. This litigious culture, where neighbors constantly sue each other, stands in stark contrast to Japan’s emphasis on internal resolution. Japanese individuals often commit suicide rather than testify against their superiors, demonstrating a strong sense of loyalty. This “arrow-like” mentality has corrupted the Korean people, making them the world’s leaders in lawsuits. Japan, on the other hand, embodies the “shield” mentality, prioritizing collective harmony. While Korea was still making rudimentary tools, Japan was already developing airplanes, submarines, and warships, demonstrating a significant technological and cultural gap.

  3. Huh Kyung-young’s Vision for Global Unification and Divine Intervention
    Korea, situated between powerful nations like China, Russia, and Japan, is a pivotal location. Huh Kyung-young’s arrival signifies a path to global unification, benefiting all these nations. He asserts his ability to influence world leaders through divine intervention. If a president refuses to cooperate, Huh Kyung-young claims he can cause the demise of their closest aides, compelling them to comply. This power, however, can only be fully exercised once he becomes the President of Korea. He describes how he would command ISIS leaders to negotiate, and if they refused, their second-in-command would perish at a precisely designated time, eventually forcing their compliance.

  4. The Uniqueness of Huh Kyung-young’s Teachings and Their Eternal Significance
    Unlike historical religious texts like the Bible or the Tripitaka, which lack direct visual evidence of their founders, Huh Kyung-young’s lectures are recorded on video, providing irrefutable proof. His teachings, encompassing economic, philosophical, and religious wisdom, are destined to become eternal scriptures for humanity. This era, unlike the past, is a “Right Action” (正業) era, where Huh Kyung-young’s direct presence is crucial.

  5. The Eightfold Path: Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration
    The Eightfold Path continues with:

  • Right Mindfulness (正念): This involves cultivating a correct mindset, which is essential for “posthumous plastic surgery.” In the current capitalist system, 99% of the world’s wealth is controlled by 1%, leaving the remaining 99% to fight over scraps. The true owners of wealth are the people, but they have been reduced to servitude. Therefore, a change in mindset is crucial.
  • Right Concentration (正定): This refers to meditation and cultivating correct thoughts.
  1. Diverse Philosophical Thoughts and the Korean Spirit
    Various philosophical schools of thought exist:
  • Socrates: Philosopher-King Rule.
  • Confucius: Benevolence (愛人思想).
  • Laozi: Naturalism (自然思想) or Non-action (無爲思想).
  • Capitalism, Democracy, Communism: Ideologies centered on economic and political systems.
  • Yi Hwang (Toegye): Dualism (二元思想).
  • Yi I (Yulgok): Monism (一元思想).
    The Korean people’s true philosophy is Reverence for Heaven and Love for Humanity (敬天愛人思想), a blend of reverence for the divine and Confucian benevolence. However, the foundational philosophy is Filial Piety (孝親思想), emphasizing close relationships between parents and children. Conversely, the principle of “separate roles for husband and wife” (夫婦有別思想) suggests that spouses should maintain independence to prevent familial discord. Interference should be reserved for blood relatives.
  1. The Spectrum of Human Nature and Religious Philosophies
    Other philosophical perspectives include:
  • Mencius: Innate Goodness of Human Nature (性善思想).
  • Xunzi: Innate Evil of Human Nature (性惡思想).
  • Christianity: Meditation (默想思想) and Neutrality (中立思想).
  • Buddhism: Middle Way (中道思想).
  • Confucianism: Doctrine of the Mean (中庸思想).
  • Taoism: Harmony (中和思想).
    The prevalence of the character “Jung” (中), meaning “middle” or “center,” in these philosophies is significant.
  1. The Interconnectedness of Happiness and Misfortune: The Middle Way
    Misfortune contains the seeds of happiness, and happiness inherently contains the seeds of misfortune. Those who comprehend the Middle Way (中道) do not become overly elated by happiness or despondent by misfortune. They understand that past hardships pave the way for future joys. For instance, experiencing poverty makes one appreciate wealth more deeply. True happiness lies not in accumulating wealth but in using it to help those who suffered alongside you. This understanding prevents arrogance in times of prosperity. This concept aligns with the Cheonbugyeong (天符經), which states “One begins without beginning, one ends without ending” (一始無始一, 一終無終一), signifying the cyclical nature of existence. This is the Middle Way, or in Christian terms, neutrality.

  2. The Quantum Nature of Reality: Quarks and Energy
    Scientifically, this concept relates to quarks, the smallest units of subatomic particles. Quarks embody the principle of “one begins without beginning, one ends without ending,” having no discernible start or end. They are circular and empty within. When cosmic energy is introduced to quarks, they transform into matter. Matter is both material and non-material, existing and non-existing simultaneously. When energy is infused into the “one begins without beginning, one ends without ending” state, it becomes matter. When a person’s body, composed of quarks, loses energy (e.g., through lack of food), the cells die and revert to quarks, scattering into the universe as dust. The soul, a subatomic particle, remains invisible.

  3. The Power of Spiritual Energy: Huh Kyung-young’s Influence
    While physical energy sustains the body, spiritual energy, or “yeong” (영), is distinct. When one utters Huh Kyung-young’s name, a spiritual energy, not mere physical energy, enters the body, protecting the quarks. This spiritual energy can even inhibit the progression of diseases like cancer.

  4. The Significance of Acupressure Points and Longevity
    The human body contains 12 meridians and 365 acupressure points. Huh Kyung-young states that he will live for 362 years, a number linked to the 362 trillion stars in the universe. Humans were originally meant to live for 365 years, but this lifespan was shortened to 120 years after the discovery of fire and the shift from raw food to cooked food. Understanding the Middle Way, neutrality, or harmony allows one to perceive happiness and misfortune as interconnected, not separate.

  5. The Symbolism of the Taegeukgi and Human Relationships
    The trigrams of the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) symbolize various aspects of existence. For instance, the “Gam” (坎) trigram, representing water, depicts a broken line in the middle, signifying a woman with a masculine inner nature. Such a woman, or a man with a feminine inner nature (represented by the “Ri” (離) trigram), may face challenges in marriage and childbearing. Tall women, for example, may possess masculine energy, while shorter women are more feminine. This cosmic law is absolute. Viewing misfortune as separate from happiness leads to tragedy, while embracing the Middle Way eliminates conflict. Poverty, too, contains the seeds of wealth, as “poor in spirit” leads to the “kingdom of heaven,” while spiritual richness can lead to inner poverty.

  6. The Importance of a Capable Leader and the Dangers of Incompetent Advisors
    An intelligent king leads to a prosperous nation, while intelligent subordinates can lead to its downfall. A truly capable president needs no brilliant advisors; they only need to issue clear directives. President Park Chung-hee, for example, pushed through projects like the Pohang Iron and Steel Company and expressways despite opposition from academics, demonstrating decisive leadership. A president who constantly seeks advice from various advisors will lead the nation to ruin. A single, skilled captain is sufficient to navigate a ship; too many co-pilots can lead to disaster.

  7. The Corruption of the Political System and the Need for Reform
    The current political system is rife with corruption. Advisors, often from elite universities, prioritize their connections with conglomerates over the welfare of the nation. They present reports that manipulate data to please the president, who, if truly intelligent, can discern their deceit. Huh Kyung-young asserts that his “presidential deputies,” ordinary citizens who have studied his teachings, will provide more accurate and truthful reports than any minister. He will not be swayed by the claims of “expert” economists who lack real-world experience. He plans to privatize the Bank of Korea, currently controlled by the state, to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and corruption.

  8. The Eightfold Path: Right Thought and Right Effort
    The Eightfold Path concludes with:

  • Right Thought (正思惟): This emphasizes cultivating correct thinking.
  • Right Effort (正精進): This highlights the importance of the process over the outcome. If the process is righteous, the outcome will naturally be good. However, economists often prioritize results, manipulating data to impress the president. Huh Kyung-young cannot be deceived. He will issue direct commands and ensure their completion, rather than relying on reports from ministers. These eight principles of Buddhism’s Eightfold Path are analogous to Christianity’s Eight Beatitudes.
  1. The Eight Blessings of Humanity and Huh Kyung-young’s Achievements
    The eight blessings bestowed upon humanity include heavenly authority, office, nobility, wealth, virtue, wisdom, longevity, and fortune. Huh Kyung-young’s wisdom is evident in his bestselling book, “The Mugunghwa Flower Never Wilts,” which sold ten million copies, and his seven number-one hit songs. He also set a record for the highest instant viewership on a podcast TV show. He received an award from JTBC for achieving the highest viewership rating. He emphasizes that finding a compatible spouse is a lifelong achievement, and meeting Huh Kyung-young can prevent marital regrets. Even a difficult marriage can be seen as a “seed of happiness,” an opportunity to atone for past karma and pave the way for a better future.

  2. The Abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Importance of Process
    Huh Kyung-young plans to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Ministry of Unification, and prisons. Prisons will be replaced by a fine system. The Ministry of Unification should be dissolved and its functions absorbed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a single division. Creating a “marriage ministry” before two people are ready to marry would only drive them apart. Similarly, focusing solely on the outcome of unification, rather than the process of building trust and friendship with North Korea, will lead to failure. Just as filial piety should precede inheritance, fostering good relations with North Korea should precede unification.

  3. The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and the Dawn of Middle-Classism
    Socrates’ philosophy of the philosopher-king predicted the demise of capitalism and democracy. Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism (中産主義) is the solution that will save humanity.

Central Questions & Answers

  1. What is Huh Kyung-young’s critique of capitalism and democracy?
    Question: How does Huh Kyung-young view the current state of capitalism and democracy, and why does he believe they are failing?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young asserts that capitalism and democracy, despite their initial promise, are fundamentally flawed systems that lead to societal collapse. He argues that they have failed by concentrating 99% of the world’s wealth into the hands of 1% of the population, leading to extreme inequality and the eventual downfall predicted by Karl Marx. He criticizes democracy as a “politics of fools” that elects incompetent leaders, and highlights how these systems prioritize profit over human dignity, leading to widespread social problems and national decline.
    Key Quote: “Capitalism and democracy have failed. They are collapsing. Why? Because these people dedicated their lives to funneling 99% of the world’s money to 1%.”

  2. What is Huh Kyung-young’s “Middle-Classism” and how will it solve societal problems?
    Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s proposed “Middle-Classism” (중산주의), and how does it aim to address the failures of current economic and political systems?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young introduces “Middle-Classism” as a new system designed to replace failing capitalism and democracy. His core promise is to elevate 90% of the population into the middle class through a fair distribution of wealth. He envisions a system where the state acts as an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a stable income from national investments, thereby eliminating financial insecurity and fostering a happier society with reduced divorce rates and social strife.
    Key Quote: “Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism will make 90% of you middle class. Understand? This system will change capitalism and democracy.”

  3. How does Huh Kyung-young connect ancient wisdom (Socrates, Jesus, Buddha) to modern societal issues?
    Question: How does Huh Kyung-young interpret the teachings of figures like Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha in the context of contemporary capitalism and democracy?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young draws parallels between ancient philosophical and religious teachings and the current state of the world. He references Socrates’ concept of the “philosopher-king” (철인) to argue against democracy, stating that only enlightened individuals should govern. He interprets Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes (팔복) as a prophetic critique of capitalism, showing how wealth leads to spiritual poverty and anxiety, while humility and compassion lead to true blessings. Similarly, he connects Buddha’s Eightfold Path (팔정도) to the importance of “right living” and “right thought” for overcoming suffering caused by material desires.
    Key Quote: “Socrates said that an enlightened person, a philosopher-king like Huh Kyung-young, should govern… Jesus’ words perfectly align with today’s capitalism, looking 2,000 years ahead.”

  4. What are the “Four Revolutions” (Four D’s) and how do they relate to personal and national transformation according to Huh Kyung-young?
    Question: What are the “Four Revolutions” (Four D’s) that Huh Kyung-young describes, and what is their significance for individual and national change?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young outlines four “D” revolutions essential for transformation:
    Divine Nature (영성혁명): A spiritual revolution to change one’s inner spirit.
    Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): A shift from analog to digital thinking, promoting global connectivity and openness.
    Design (디자인): Changing one’s thoughts and mental framework.
    DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): Ultimately, changing one’s physical appearance and destiny through spiritual and mental transformation.
    He links these to national change, suggesting that altering symbols like the presidential residence (from Cheongwadae to Sky Temple) can change the nation’s “DNA” and spirit.
    Key Quote: “The 21st century has four revolutions, four D’s… Divine Nature, Digital, Design, and DNA. If your DNA changes, your face changes.”

  5. What is the concept of “Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery” (사후 성형) and how does it work?
    Question: What does Huh Kyung-young mean by “Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery,” and how can one achieve it?
    Answer: “Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery” refers to the idea of shaping one’s appearance and destiny in the next life through actions and spiritual changes in the current life. Instead of conventional plastic surgery, Huh Kyung-young suggests that by cultivating a pure spirit, digital mindset, and positive thoughts, one can influence their future reincarnation. He emphasizes that giving to others and serving humanity are key to achieving a better future self, even becoming a “Cinderella” or a “chaebol” in the next life.
    Key Quote: “You can change your face now for the next world. If you want to be Cinderella or a chaebol’s daughter in the next life, you must give a lot to others and serve a lot now.”

  6. What is Huh Kyung-young’s view on the role of a national leader and the structure of government?
    Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s ideal vision for a national leader and the structure of government, and what changes does he propose for Korea?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young advocates for a strong, singular leader (like a “philosopher-king”) who is highly capable and decisive, rather than relying on numerous “smart” advisors who might serve their own interests. He believes that a truly competent leader can guide the nation without being swayed by conflicting opinions from subordinates. For Korea, he proposes abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification, integrating unification matters into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He also suggests renaming the National Assembly to “People’s Assembly” (민의원) and eliminating local government heads and councils to reduce wasteful spending and corruption.
    Key Quote: “If the king of a nation is smart, the people are happy. If the ministers are smart, the nation collapses… A single, capable captain is enough to steer the ship.”

  7. How does Huh Kyung-young explain the concept of “Quark” and its connection to human energy and the soul?
    Question: How does Huh Kyung-young use the concept of “Quark” to explain human energy, the soul, and the universe?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young uses the quark as a metaphor for the fundamental, invisible building blocks of both matter and the human soul. He describes it as the “smallest unit of subatomic particles” that has “no beginning and no end” (일시무시일 일종무종일), existing in a state of being and non-being simultaneously. He explains that when energy (like food) enters the body, these quarks form matter, but without it, they dissipate into the universe, leaving only the soul, which is also a form of quark. He claims that invoking his name, “Huh Kyung-young,” infuses a spiritual “energy” (영) into these quarks, protecting against illness and promoting healing.
    Key Quote: “The quark is ‘no beginning, no end.’ It’s the end, and the end is the beginning… When spiritual energy enters, it becomes matter.”

He also mentions secret clubs of the 1% elite, including Jewish clubs, and the assassination of President Kennedy, attributing it to arms dealers who opposed his peace policies.
  • Practical Message or Application: The current systems are inherently flawed and lead to societal collapse, necessitating a fundamental change.

The Rise of the God-man and Middle-Classism

  • Topic Keyword/Phrase: The God-man and Middle-Classism
  • Main Assertions and Explanations: Huh Kyung-young states that Socrates advocated for a “philosopher-king” to govern, as democracy often results in “fools” being elected. He then states that he is not merely a philosopher but a “God-man” who possesses the qualities of a prophet, pioneer, and enlightened one, sent from heaven during a time of global crisis.

Critique of Korean Societal Issues and National Symbols

  • Topic Keyword/Phrase: Korean National Problems and Symbols
  • Main Assertions and Explanations: Huh Kyung-young criticizes Korean politicians for prioritizing the wealthy, leading to increased wealth disparity and youth unemployment. He states that Korean chaebols (conglomerates) invest overseas, avoiding domestic taxes and contributing to national economic decline. He also points out that Koreans are the biggest spenders on overseas travel, importing diseases like AIDS. He identifies several “curses” on Korea: the name “National Assembly” (국회), the name “Cheong Wa Dae” (청와대, “Blue House”), and the lyrics of the national anthem. He states that these names were influenced by Japanese colonial rule and reflect a lack of national spirit. He proposes renaming Cheong Wa Dae to “Hwanungung” (환웅궁, Sky Temple) to embody the spirit of Hwanin and Hwanung, and changing the National Assembly to “Minuiwon” (민의원, House of Representatives). He also advocates for abolishing local autonomous governments (지자체) due to their excessive spending and corruption.
  • Analogies, Examples, Biblical/Scientific/Historical References: He uses the example of Samsung’s factory in Vietnam boosting Vietnam’s economy while Korean youth face unemployment, illustrating the negative impact of chaebols’ overseas investments. He also mentions the historical context of the National Assembly being called “Minuiwon” in the past.

He introduces the concept of “post-mortem plastic surgery,” where one can shape their next life’s appearance and circumstances by cultivating good deeds and spiritual growth in the present life.
  • Analogies, Examples, Biblical/Scientific/Historical References: He explains that changing the name of Cheong Wa Dae to Sky Temple would change the nation’s DNA, leading to a transformation of the people’s spirituality, mentality, thoughts, and faces. He states that merely looking at his picture or calling his name can change one’s spiritual energy.

  • Main Assertions and Explanations: Huh Kyung-young connects his teachings to the “Eight Blessings” of Jesus (from Matthew 5:1-13) and the “Eightfold Path” of Buddha, stating that these ancient wisdoms accurately foresaw the current state of capitalism and democracy. He interprets Jesus’ blessings, such as “blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” as directly applicable to the anxieties of the wealthy in modern society. He also discusses the “Eight Blessings for Humans” (천권, 천관, 천귀, 천재, 천덕, 천문, 천수, 천복) and the “Eightfold Path” (정견, 정사유, 정어, 정업, 정명, 정정진, 정념, 정정), emphasizing the importance of right view, right thought, right speech, and right livelihood. He states that understanding the “Middle Way” (중도) means recognizing that happiness and unhappiness are two sides of the same coin, and that misfortune contains the seeds of happiness.
  • Analogies, Examples, Biblical/Scientific/Historical References: He uses the example of wealthy individuals being unable to sleep due to worries about their assets, contrasting it with the peaceful sleep of the poor. He also uses the analogy of land ownership, where patient individuals who hold onto land eventually become wealthy, while those who rush to sell often lose out. He explains the concept of “fire house” (화택) from Buddhism, stating that human life is like living in a burning house, full of worries and challenges, and that one’s profession (직업) is a form of “karma” (업). He also uses the concept of “quark” from physics to explain the interconnectedness of existence and non-existence, and the principle of “Ilsimusil, Iljongmujongil” (일시무시일, 일종무종일 – one begins without beginning, one ends without ending).
  • Practical Message or Application: By understanding and applying these ancient wisdoms, individuals can achieve inner peace, navigate life’s challenges, and contribute to a more harmonious society.

The Role of a Competent Leader and the Dangers of Incompetent Advisors

  • Topic Keyword/Phrase: Leadership and Governance
  • Main Assertions and Explanations: Huh Kyung-young states that a nation prospers when its leader is intelligent, but declines when advisors are too clever. He criticizes the current system where presidents rely on numerous advisors and ministers, leading to indecision and national decline. He states that a truly capable president, like Park Chung-hee or Lee Kuan Yew, makes decisive decisions without being swayed by dissenting opinions. He also states that the current economic experts, often from elite universities, lack practical experience and contribute to the nation’s problems. He proposes that the Bank of Korea should be privatized, and that he, as president, would rely on the reports of ordinary citizens who have studied his truth, rather than corrupt officials.
  • Analogies, Examples, Biblical/Scientific/Historical References: He uses the analogy of a ship with a competent captain needing only one good helmsman, not many who claim to be as good as the captain. He also references the Sewol ferry disaster as an example of what happens when an incompetent captain relies on others.
  • Practical Message or Application: A strong, decisive leader is crucial for national prosperity, and such a leader should not be swayed by self-serving or inexperienced advisors.

The God-man’s Power and Global Unification

  • Topic Keyword/Phrase: Global Unification and Divine Power
  • Main Assertions and Explanations: Huh Kyung-young states that his arrival will lead to the unification of the world, benefiting nations like Russia, China, and Japan. He claims to possess divine power that allows him to influence world leaders, even causing their demise if they resist his will for global peace. He states that his lectures, recorded on YouTube, will become the eternal scriptures of humanity, unlike traditional scriptures that lack direct evidence of their speakers. He also mentions his achievements in music and media, including topping charts and achieving record-breaking viewership.
  • Analogies, Examples, Biblical/Scientific/Historical References: He recounts instances where he allegedly predicted the deaths of Michael Jackson and Roh Moo-hyun, demonstrating his prophetic abilities. He contrasts his direct, verifiable teachings with the anonymous or multi-authored nature of traditional religious texts like the Bible and the Tripitaka Koreana.
  • Practical Message or Application: Huh Kyung-young is a divine figure with the power to unify the world and guide humanity, and his teachings are the ultimate truth for the current era.

The Abolition of the Ministry of Unification and Other Reforms

  • Topic Keyword/Phrase: Government Reforms
  • Main Assertions and Explanations: Huh Kyung-young states that upon becoming president, he would abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Ministry of Unification, and prisons. He explains that the Ministry of Unification should be eliminated because focusing on unification as a direct goal hinders the process, similar to how creating a “marriage ministry” would scare off potential partners. He states that unification should be a natural outcome of improved relations, not a forced objective. He also states that prisons would be replaced by a fine system.
  • Analogies, Examples, Biblical/Scientific/Historical References: He uses the analogy of marriage, stating that a relationship progresses naturally through acquaintance and affection, not by immediately declaring marriage as the goal. He also mentions that East and West Germany did not have a Ministry of Unification.
  • Practical Message or Application: Government structures should be streamlined and reformed to focus on natural processes and genuine human connection, rather than creating artificial barriers or objectives.

The Philosophical Crossroads of Capitalism and Democracy: A Vision for a New Era

  1. The Economic Downfall of Taiwan and the Global Financial Imbalance
    Taiwan’s economy experienced a decline after a particular individual assumed the presidency. This leader was perceived as antagonistic towards China, a stance that contributed to the economic difficulties. The global financial system is characterized by an extreme concentration of wealth, where 99% of the world’s money is controlled by just 1% of the population. Karl Marx foresaw the eventual collapse of capitalism if this trend continued, predicting that the wealthy would accumulate an even greater share of global assets, leaving the majority in debt.

  2. Critiquing Democracy and Capitalism: Fundamental Principles and Their Flaws
    The current democratic system is presented as a facade, deceiving the public. Capitalism operates on three core principles:

  • Absolute Principle of Ownership: Individuals have complete rights over their property.

  • Principle of Freedom of Contract: Parties are free to enter into agreements.

  • Principle of Liability for Fault: Individuals are responsible for damages caused by their actions.
    In contrast, democracy is founded on principles that appear noble:

  • Principle of the Pursuit of Happiness: Every individual seeks happiness.

  • Principle of Absolute Equality: All individuals are treated equally.

  • Principle of Human Dignity: Every human being possesses inherent worth.

  1. The Paradox of Democratic Ideals and Capitalist Realities
    Despite the lofty ideals of democracy, the reality under capitalism often contradicts these principles. For instance, the pursuit of happiness through property ownership can infringe upon another’s right to sunlight, leading to demands for compensation. While equality suggests that hard work should lead to greater reward, the system often results in a stark division between the rich and the poor. The principle of human dignity is undermined when 99.5% of the population struggles while a select few, the 1%, accumulate vast wealth, enabling them to live like emperors and travel the world freely.

  2. The Hidden Power of the Elite and Historical Parallels
    A powerful, exclusive group, often associated with Jewish influence in the United States, wields significant control. This group can even influence presidential elections, as seen with President Clinton. This elite class, comprising the top 1%, is so influential that those who defy them risk severe consequences. Historical events, such as the assassination of President Kennedy, are presented as examples of this hidden power at play. Kennedy’s vision for world peace, disarmament, and regional autonomy for Asia clashed with the interests of the arms industry, which supported Vice President Johnson. Johnson’s swift inauguration after Kennedy’s death, even at the funeral, suggests a coordinated effort by these powerful entities. This historical pattern is cited as a reason why South Korea does not have a vice-presidential system, to prevent similar power struggles.

  3. The Exploitation of National Wealth and the Rise of Global Corporations
    Capitalism, while seemingly legitimate with its principles of ownership and contract, can become a “drug” that leads to continuous interest payments to foreign banks. Foreign banks hold a significant portion of South Korea’s banking assets, meaning a large part of the interest paid by Koreans flows overseas. This outflow of wealth, coupled with Korean conglomerates investing heavily abroad, creates a situation where national wealth is siphoned off. For example, while a lifetime of rice farming might yield a certain amount, the annual interest payments to foreign entities far exceed this. Korean rich, often the top 1-3%, spend their wealth overseas, contributing to foreign economies and even social problems like AIDS in other countries, rather than investing domestically.

  4. Societal Ills: Diabetes, AIDS, and the Decline of National Well-being
    The speaker identifies diabetes and AIDS as major “wars” facing South Korea, not external conflicts.

  • Diabetes: This disease is linked to a lifestyle of idleness and overconsumption among the wealthy, who eat excessively without working. South Korea is noted as having the highest number of idle people globally, leading to a high diabetes rate. This lifestyle is believed to have generational consequences, affecting descendants for up to eight generations.
  • AIDS: The spread of AIDS is exacerbated by individuals not reporting their condition, a problem attributed to the capitalist system.
  1. The Erosion of Traditional Values and the Consequences of Laziness
    The source suggests that a decline in traditional values, such as men taking initiative in household chores rather than solely relying on women, leads to familial misfortune. Men who delegate all tasks to their wives are said to incur negative consequences, leading to the family’s downfall. This highlights a belief that personal diligence and equitable sharing of responsibilities are crucial for a family’s prosperity.

  2. The Disparity of Health and Wealth: The Rich Get Lazier, the Poor Die Faster
    The wealthy, due to their comfortable lives, are prone to diseases like diabetes, but their financial resources allow them to manage these conditions and live longer, albeit lazily. Conversely, the poor, who often contract these diseases due to societal factors, die prematurely. This creates a stark contrast where the rich live long and idle lives, while the poor face early deaths, leading to the extinction of their lineage. Thus, diabetes and high blood pressure are seen as silent wars against the nation’s populace.

  3. The Perils of Unreported Diseases in a Capitalist Society
    The capitalist system is criticized for fostering an environment where dangerous diseases like AIDS go unreported. This lack of transparency and accountability is deemed one of the most terrifying consequences of capitalism, as individuals with AIDS do not disclose their condition, allowing the disease to spread unchecked. This repeated emphasis underscores the speaker’s concern about the public health implications of a system that prioritizes individual privacy or profit over collective well-being.

  4. The Irony of Democratic Leadership and the Call for a God-man
    The speaker asserts that democracy, often seen as the “politics of fools,” leads to the election of incompetent leaders by an uninformed populace. This system is deemed inherently flawed, destined for a miserable end. The historical example of Plato’s philosophy of “philosopher-kings” (철인주의) is invoked, where a wise, enlightened ruler is considered superior to democratic governance. The speaker then introduces Huh Kyung-young as a “God-man” (신인), a figure superior to a philosopher-king, who appears in times of crisis to rectify the failures of capitalism and democracy.

  5. The Impending Crisis: Capitalism’s End and the French Revolution Parallel
    The current era is described as a crisis point, mirroring Karl Marx’s prediction of capitalism’s demise, where the 1% controls the vast majority of wealth. This extreme imbalance is likened to the conditions that led to the French Revolution, where the oppressed 99% rose against the monarchy and the privileged few. The speaker warns that if this wealth disparity continues, a similar societal upheaval is inevitable, marking the end of democracy as we know it.

  6. The Rise of Middle-Class-Centrism: A New Economic Paradigm
    The speaker proposes a new economic system called Middle-Class-Centrism (중산주의) as a solution to the failures of capitalism and democracy. This system aims to transform 90% of the population into the middle class, ensuring a more equitable distribution of wealth and stability. This vision is presented as a necessary evolution beyond the current flawed systems.

  7. The Philosophical Lineage: From Socrates to Alexander and the Critique of Democracy
    The philosophical lineage from Socrates to Alexander the Great is traced to illustrate the historical critique of democracy.

  • Socrates’s Disciple Plato advocated for philosopher-kings, viewing democracy as the rule of fools.
  • Plato’s Disciple Aristotle leaned towards pragmatism.
  • Aristotle’s Disciple Alexander ultimately embraced imperialism, believing that a single, strong leader was necessary to govern, rather than relying on the votes of an uneducated populace. Alexander’s vast empire is presented as a testament to this philosophy.
  1. The Modern-Day Crisis and the Corrupting Influence of Wealth
    The speaker draws a parallel between Alexander’s era and the present, asserting that Huh Kyung-young’s emergence signifies a similar moment of crisis for capitalism and democracy. The current political landscape is depicted as being dominated by powerful conglomerates, whose influence extends to legal and political figures. These wealthy entities are driven by a relentless pursuit of profit, often at the expense of national interests.

  2. Capital Flight and Domestic Unemployment: A National Betrayal
    Conglomerates are accused of prioritizing overseas investments over domestic ones, driven by tax incentives and cheaper labor in other countries. This practice leads to high unemployment among Korean youth, who struggle to find jobs and marry. The speaker criticizes the indifference of these corporations to national economic well-being, viewing their global investment strategy as a betrayal of the nation.

  3. The Allure of Foreign Investment and the Decline of Domestic Industry
    Foreign governments actively compete to attract Korean conglomerates by offering enticing incentives:

  • Tax exemptions: No taxes or significantly reduced tax burdens.
  • Free land: Land provided at no cost.
  • Streamlined permits: Quick approval for construction and operations.
  • Cheap labor: Low labor costs.
  • Guaranteed profits: Assurances of high returns.
    These offers make overseas investment highly attractive, leading to a decline in domestic industry and a brain drain of talent. The example of Samsung Electronics’ significant contribution to Vietnam’s economy, turning its trade deficit into a surplus, highlights this trend.
  1. The Need for a Visionary Leader and the Flaws of the Current Political System
    The speaker emphasizes the urgent need for a leader who can:
  • Transform conglomerates: Encourage them to invest domestically.
  • Adjust labor costs: Create a fair and competitive labor market.
  • Implement Middle-Class-Centrism: Establish a new economic system.
    The current political system, exemplified by President Park Geun-hye’s struggles with parliamentary opposition, is deemed ineffective. The National Assembly (국회) is criticized for obstructing presidential initiatives, despite the president being directly elected by the people.
  1. The Misguided Terminology of “National Assembly” and “National Assembly Members”
    The term “National Assembly” (국회) and “National Assembly Member” (국회의원) are criticized as inappropriate and unique to South Korea, suggesting a flawed understanding of governance. The speaker points out that other countries, like the United States, use terms like “Congress” or “Parliament,” implying a more representative and less “nationalistic” connotation. The historical term “House of Representatives” (민의원) is preferred, indicating a focus on the people’s will rather than national authority.

  2. The Four Causes of National Decline
    The speaker identifies four key factors contributing to South Korea’s decline:

  • The Name of the Presidential Residence (Cheong Wa Dae): Calling it the “Blue House” (푸른 기와집) is seen as a remnant of Japanese colonial influence, lacking national spirit. It should be renamed “Sky Temple” (하늘궁) to reflect the nation’s spiritual heritage.
  • The National Anthem (Aegukga): The lyrics “until the East Sea’s waters and Baekdu Mountain wear away” (동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록) are considered ominous and indicative of national decay.
  • The National Assembly (국회): The very existence and power of the National Assembly are seen as detrimental, hindering effective governance. It should be replaced with a “House of Representatives” (민의원) to truly represent the people.
  • Local Autonomy (지자체): The system of electing local government heads and council members is criticized for excessive spending and creating lavish local government buildings that rival the presidential residence, leading to national financial drain.
  1. The Four Revolutions of the 21st Century and the Transformation of Humanity
    The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, all beginning with the letter “D”:
  • Divine Revolution (영성 혁명): A spiritual transformation that changes one’s inner self.
  • Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): A shift in thinking from analog (subjective, closed, passive) to digital (connected globally).
  • Design Revolution (디자인 혁명): A change in external appearance and form.
  • DNA Revolution (DNA 혁명): A fundamental alteration of one’s genetic makeup, leading to changes in physical appearance.
    These revolutions are interconnected, suggesting that a change in spiritual essence leads to a change in mindset, which then influences external design and ultimately one’s DNA.
  1. Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery and the Power of Spiritual Transformation
    The concept of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery” (사후 성형) is introduced, where individuals can influence their appearance in their next life by cultivating their spiritual essence in the present.
  • Spiritual Transformation: By changing one’s spiritual essence, mindset, and thoughts, one can alter their future physical form.
  • Actions for Future Lives: Performing good deeds, helping others, and serving the community are presented as ways to shape one’s destiny, such as being reborn as a wealthy individual or a president.
  • The Role of Huh Kyung-young: Merely looking at Huh Kyung-young’s image or uttering his name is said to initiate a spiritual transformation, altering one’s energy and even reducing diseases like cancer.
  1. The Historical Roots of National Symbols and the Need for Change
    The speaker reiterates the need to change national symbols and institutions, emphasizing their historical origins.
  • Cheong Wa Dae: The “Blue House” was originally built by the Japanese as the Governor-General’s residence, lacking a true Korean spirit. It should be renamed to reflect Korean heritage.
  • National Anthem: The lyrics are deemed problematic and should be revised.
  • National Assembly: The institution itself is seen as a hindrance and should be reformed.
  1. The Abolition of Local Autonomy and the Mismanagement of National Resources
    The system of local autonomy (지자체) is criticized for being a major drain on national resources.
  • Financial Waste: Local elections and the salaries of local officials cost trillions of won annually, money that could be returned to the citizens.
  • Excessive Buildings: Local government buildings are often larger and more extravagant than the presidential residence, a phenomenon unique to South Korea.
  • Comparison with Japan: Japan, with its more limited local autonomy and lack of real-name financial systems, is presented as a more stable nation.
  1. The Interconnectedness of Personal and National Well-being
    The speaker connects individual well-being to national prosperity, stating that marital conflicts often stem from financial issues. By improving the national economy and ensuring the happiness of citizens, domestic disputes will decrease, leading to a more harmonious society. This underscores the idea that societal structures profoundly impact personal lives.

  2. The Prophetic Wisdom of Ancient Sages: Jesus and Buddha’s Eightfold Paths
    The speaker draws parallels between the teachings of ancient sages and the current state of society.

  • Socrates’s Philosophy: Socrates’s idea of philosopher-kings is not dismissed but seen as a precursor to a deeper truth.
  • Jesus’s Eight Beatitudes: Jesus’s teachings, particularly the Eight Beatitudes (팔복), are presented as a profound economic and social commentary that accurately predicted the trajectory of capitalism and democracy.
  • Buddha’s Eightfold Path: Buddha’s Eightfold Path (팔정도) is also mentioned as a guide to spiritual well-being.
  1. The Beatitudes as a Critique of Capitalism: Spiritual Poverty and True Wealth
    The Beatitudes are interpreted as a direct critique of capitalist values.
  • “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This is contrasted with the “spiritual corruption” of capitalism, where the wealthy are plagued by anxiety and sleeplessness despite their riches. The poor, free from such burdens, can sleep peacefully.
  • The Anxiety of Wealth: The wealthy constantly fear losing their assets, whether through natural disasters, accidents, or theft. This inherent instability of wealth prevents true peace of mind.
  • The North Korean Threat: The threat of a North Korean missile strike highlights the fragility of wealth, as property values in Seoul would plummet, causing immense anxiety for property owners.
  1. The Paradox of Wealth and the Pursuit of True Peace
    The speaker emphasizes that true peace and happiness are not found in material wealth. The wealthy, despite their riches, live in constant fear and anxiety, unable to sleep soundly. This spiritual poverty, rather than material poverty, is what prevents them from entering the “kingdom of heaven.” The teachings of Jesus are thus seen as a timeless wisdom that perfectly aligns with the current state of capitalist society.

  2. The Blessings of Compassion and Gentleness: Economic and Spiritual Rewards
    The Beatitudes continue to offer profound insights:

  • “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” This refers to those who lament their inability to help the less fortunate or who reflect on their own shortcomings. Such individuals, like philanthropists, receive divine comfort.
  • “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” This is interpreted as an economic principle. Those who are patient and do not hastily sell their land will see its value appreciate over time, becoming wealthy without engaging in speculation. In contrast, impatient individuals who quickly sell their assets often end up losing everything.
  1. The Rewards of Righteousness and Purity of Heart
    Further Beatitudes are explored:
  • “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This refers to those who tirelessly spread truth and justice, even enduring hardship. They will be spiritually and materially sustained.
  • “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Purity of heart allows one to perceive the divine, as exemplified by individuals who are seen as saintly figures in their communities. The audience’s presence is attributed to their own purity of heart, enabling them to recognize Huh Kyung-young.
  1. The Importance of Physical and Emotional Well-being: The Dangers of Violence
    The speaker highlights the importance of physical and emotional health, particularly through the act of clapping.
  • Clapping for Health: Striking one’s palms together is said to stimulate numerous capillaries and acupressure points, promoting longevity.
  • The Harm of Violence: Hitting children or women is strongly condemned, as it inflicts severe psychological trauma, comparable to a war or a natural disaster. Such trauma can manifest as panic disorder years later, a common affliction among celebrities who endured intense pressure.
  1. The Blessings of Peacemaking and Persecution for Righteousness
    The final Beatitudes are discussed:
  • “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Those who foster harmony are recognized as divine.
  • “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Martyrs for truth are assured of divine protection and entry into heaven.
    These ancient teachings are presented as remarkably prescient, accurately foreseeing the challenges of modern capitalism and democracy.
  1. The Eight Blessings of Humanity: A Holistic View of Prosperity
    The speaker introduces a different set of “Eight Blessings” (팔복) for humanity, distinct from Jesus’s Beatitudes, encompassing various aspects of a fulfilling life:
  • Heavenly Authority (천관): Divine power and influence.
  • Heavenly Nobility (천귀): High status and honor.
  • Heavenly Wealth (천재): Abundant material possessions.
  • Heavenly Virtue (천덕): Moral excellence and good character.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (천문): Profound knowledge and insight.
  • Heavenly Longevity (천수): A long and healthy life.
  • Heavenly Fortune (천보): General good luck and prosperity.
  • Five Blessings (오복): Traditional blessings including children, parents, and overall well-being.
    These eight blessings represent a comprehensive vision of human prosperity, encompassing spiritual, social, and material aspects.
  1. South Korea’s Paradox: Economic Miracle and Societal Decay
    South Korea is presented as a paradox:
  • Economic Model: Despite its “decaying” economic and democratic systems, South Korea’s rapid economic growth (the “Miracle on the Han River”) is studied globally.
  • Global Risk: The speaker warns that if the world adopts South Korea’s current model, it faces similar dangers.
  • Huh Kyung-young’s Mission: Huh Kyung-young’s purpose is to introduce Middle-Class-Centrism, a new system that ensures equitable distribution and stability, transforming the nation into a secure investment for its citizens.
  1. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism: Right View and Right Speech
    The Buddhist Eightfold Path (팔정도) is introduced, starting with:
  • Right View (정견): Having a correct understanding of reality.
  • Right Speech (정명): Speaking truthfully and constructively. This is exemplified by a wife’s communication with her husband. Instead of complaining directly about a lack of rice, she should maintain a cheerful demeanor and subtly indicate the need, allowing the husband to take initiative. Direct complaints are seen as detrimental to household harmony and prosperity.
  1. The Importance of Indirect Communication and Marital Harmony
    The speaker elaborates on the concept of Right Speech in marital relationships.
  • Subtle Cues: A wife should use indirect methods, like the sound of an empty rice container, to signal needs to her husband, rather than direct confrontation. This approach fosters understanding and ensures the husband’s willingness to provide.
  • Avoiding Conflict: Direct, critical remarks, especially about appearance or financial shortcomings, are detrimental to a marriage and can drive away good fortune. Instead, thoughtful gestures, like buying cosmetics, can convey care and prevent conflict.
  • The Power of Words: Words have a profound impact on relationships and the flow of blessings within a household.
  1. Right Livelihood: Choosing a Path of Virtue
    The concept of Right Livelihood (정업) is discussed, emphasizing the importance of choosing a profession that aligns with ethical principles.
  • “Karma” (업장): One’s profession is seen as a form of karma, determining how one earns a living.
  • “House of Fire” (화택): Human life is likened to living in a “house of fire,” filled with constant challenges and complexities. To navigate this, one must choose a livelihood that does not accumulate negative karma.
  • Two Types of Professions:
    • “Arrow” Professions (화살 시): These involve attacking or exploiting others, like prosecutors, police, or predatory corporations that crush smaller businesses.
    • “Shield” Professions (방패 간): These involve protecting and helping others, like lawyers, doctors, or teachers.
  1. The Misinterpretation of Intentions and the Dangers of Extreme Judgment
    The speaker warns against misinterpreting the actions of those in “shield” professions, such as politicians or professors.
  • Common Gestures: Politicians, accustomed to interacting with many people, often engage in physical gestures like handshakes or pats on the back, which can be misinterpreted.
  • Overly Harsh Criticism: Society tends to be overly critical, turning innocent gestures into scandals. This extreme judgment is deemed unhealthy and counterproductive.
  • The Consequences of “Arrow” Actions: Engaging in “arrow” actions, such as excessive lawsuits, can lead to tragic outcomes, as seen in the high rate of litigation in South Korea compared to Japan.
  1. The Prophetic Encounters: Michael Jackson and Roh Moo-hyun
    The speaker recounts personal encounters with famous figures before their deaths, asserting a prophetic ability.
  • Michael Jackson: Three days before his death, Michael Jackson allegedly visited the speaker, expressing his sorrow over a false accusation of child molestation. He claimed his desire was to relive his lost childhood by playing with children, not to commit any wrongdoing. The speaker claims to have offered comfort and predicted his death.
  • Roh Moo-hyun: Similarly, former President Roh Moo-hyun reportedly visited the speaker, lamenting false accusations of financial corruption. The speaker claims to have predicted his death three days prior.
    These anecdotes serve to underscore the speaker’s extraordinary spiritual insight and power.
  1. The Need for Judicial Reform and a Shift in National Character
    The speaker advocates for drastic reforms in the legal system and a change in national character.
  • Reducing Legal Professionals: A 90% reduction in police, prosecutors, and judges is proposed, citing South Korea’s exceptionally high rate of lawsuits compared to Japan.
  • National Self-Reflection: Koreans are urged to reflect on their tendency to sue neighbors and to learn from Japan’s more cohesive national spirit.
  • Historical Comparison with Japan: Japan’s advanced industrial capabilities (e.g., building airplanes and submarines) are contrasted with Korea’s historical focus on basic tools, highlighting a need for national development and unity.
  1. The Vision for Global Unification and Divine Intervention
    The speaker envisions a future where he, as a divine figure, will unify the world, starting with Korea, China, Japan, and Russia.
  • Direct Intervention: The speaker claims the ability to influence world leaders, even to the point of predicting their demise if they resist his vision for global peace.
  • Presidential Authority: Once he becomes president of South Korea, he asserts that world leaders will be compelled to heed his call for global unification, recognizing his divine power.
  • Spiritual Power: The speaker emphasizes that his spiritual power is absolute, unlike that of historical figures like Jesus or Buddha, who were subject to human criticism. Those who disrespect him or his image will face consequences.
  1. The Power of Huh Kyung-young’s Teachings and the Digital Age
    The speaker asserts the eternal significance of his teachings in the digital age.
  • Unprecedented Influence: His lectures, encompassing economic, philosophical, and religious truths, will be preserved on platforms like YouTube for millennia, serving as a guide for humanity.
  • Contrast with Ancient Scriptures: Unlike ancient scriptures like the Bible or the Tripitaka Koreana, which lack direct visual or auditory records of their founders, his teachings are directly presented by him, making them uniquely powerful and authentic.
  • The Era of the God-man: The current era is described as the time for the “God-man” (신인) to emerge and deliver these truths.
  1. Right Mindfulness and the Transformation of Society
    The Buddhist concept of Right Mindfulness (정념) is introduced, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a correct mindset. This is directly linked to the idea of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery,” where a transformed mind can lead to a better future existence. The speaker criticizes the current capitalist system for fostering conflict and inequality, where the 1% controls the majority of wealth, leaving the rest to struggle.

  2. The Eightfold Path Continued: Right Effort, Right Concentration, Right Livelihood
    The discussion of the Eightfold Path continues with:

  • Right Effort (정진): Making diligent efforts towards spiritual growth.
  • Right Concentration (정정): Achieving deep meditative states.
  • Right Livelihood (정사유): Engaging in occupations that are ethical and beneficial.
  • Right Action (정경진): Performing actions that are morally upright.
    These principles are crucial for individual and societal transformation.
  1. Diverse Philosophies and the Korean National Identity
    Various philosophical traditions are briefly mentioned, highlighting the diversity of thought:
  • Plato’s Philosopher-King: The idea of a wise ruler.
  • Confucianism (공자 사상): Emphasizing benevolence and human love.
  • Taoism (노자 사상): Advocating for naturalness and non-action.
  • Capitalism, Democracy, Communism: Modern political and economic ideologies.
  • Korean Philosophies:
    • Yi Won’s Dualism (이원 사상): A philosophical concept.
    • Kyungcheon Ae-in (경천애인): Respect for Heaven and love for humanity, a core principle of Korean thought.
    • Hongik Ingan (홍익인간): To broadly benefit humanity, rooted in filial piety (효친 사상).
    • Mencius’s Innate Goodness (성선 사상): The belief that human nature is inherently good.
    • Xunzi’s Innate Evil (성악 사상): The belief that human nature is inherently evil.
  1. The “Middle” Path in Various Religions and Philosophies
    The concept of “middle” (중) is explored across different spiritual and philosophical traditions:
  • Christianity (기독교): Neutrality (중립 사상).
  • Buddhism (불교): Middle Way (중도 사상).
  • Confucianism (유교): Doctrine of the Mean (중용 사상).
  • Taoism (도교): Central Harmony (중화 사상).
    The speaker questions why this “middle” concept is so prevalent, suggesting it holds a fundamental truth.
  1. The Intertwined Nature of Happiness and Misfortune
    The speaker explains the profound connection between happiness and misfortune:
  • Misfortune as a Seed of Happiness: Within every misfortune lies the seed of future happiness.
  • Happiness as a Seed of Misfortune: Conversely, within every happiness lies the potential for future misfortune.
  • The Wisdom of the Middle Way: Those who understand the Middle Way (중도) do not become overly attached to either happiness or misfortune, recognizing their cyclical nature.
  • Personal Anecdote: The speaker shares a personal story of living in a small room with shared facilities, which later became a source of joy and motivation to help others once he achieved success.
  1. The Cosmic Principle of “One Becomes All, All Becomes One”
    The philosophical concept of “one becomes all, all becomes one” (일시무시일, 일종무종일) is introduced, which means that everything originates from one and returns to one, with no true beginning or end.
  • Interchangeability of Happiness and Misfortune: Happiness can turn into misfortune, and misfortune into happiness, illustrating this cyclical nature.
  • Quantum Physics Parallel: This concept is likened to the scientific understanding of quarks, the smallest particles, which are both existent and non-existent, constantly transforming.
  • Energy and Matter: When energy is applied to quarks, they manifest as matter.
  1. The Human Body as a Quark System and the Power of Spiritual Energy
    The human body is presented as a complex system of quarks.
  • Quarks and Energy: Each cell in the body is a quark, imbued with energy from food. Without continuous nourishment, these cells would disintegrate.
  • The Spirit (영): Beyond physical energy, there is a spiritual energy (영) that sustains the body. When the body dies, the physical form dissolves, but the spirit, like a quark, remains, invisible yet existent.
  • Huh Kyung-young’s Spiritual Power: Calling Huh Kyung-young’s name or looking at his picture is said to infuse one with this spiritual energy, protecting the quarks in the body and even reducing diseases like cancer. This spiritual energy is distinct from mere physical energy.
  1. The Superiority of Huh Kyung-young’s Spiritual Energy: An Energy Test
    The speaker demonstrates his unique spiritual power through an “energy test.”
  • The Test: Participants are asked to hold out their arm while looking at various photos. When looking at photos of ordinary people or even popular figures like former US presidents, their arm drops easily, indicating a lack of strong energy.
  • Huh Kyung-young’s Photo: However, when looking at Huh Kyung-young’s photo, the arm remains firm, demonstrating an immense, unyielding spiritual energy. This energy is said to be divine, not merely human.
  • Healing Power: This spiritual energy is capable of protecting cells and even reducing diseases, unlike ordinary energy derived from food.
  1. The Flaws of the Current Political System: Incompetent Advisors and Economic Mismanagement
    The speaker criticizes the current political system for its reliance on incompetent advisors and its mismanagement of the economy.
  • “Fools’ Politics”: The current system is described as “fools’ politics,” where leaders are surrounded by advisors who prioritize their own interests or lack practical experience.
  • Academic vs. Real-World Experience: Academics with theoretical knowledge but no real-world business experience are seen as detrimental to the economy.
  • The Example of Park Chung-hee: President Park Chung-hee is cited as an example of a strong, decisive leader who, despite opposition from academics, pushed through major projects like the Pohang Iron and Steel Company and highways, leading to national development.
  1. The Importance of a Strong Leader and the Dangers of Excessive Consultation
    A truly capable president does not need numerous “smart” advisors who might manipulate or mislead them.
  • Decisive Leadership: A strong leader makes clear decisions and expects them to be executed, rather than being swayed by conflicting opinions.
  • The “Captain” Analogy: A ship needs one competent captain, not multiple helmsmen who each believe they know best, leading to disaster.
  • The Illusion of Competent Advisors: The speaker asserts that if he were president, many academics and professors would offer their “help,” but their advice would lead the nation astray.
  1. Reforming the Financial System: Nationalizing the Bank of Korea
    The speaker proposes a radical reform of the financial system:
  • Privatizing the Bank of Korea: The Bank of Korea, currently state-owned, should be privatized. The speaker believes that state ownership leads to inefficiency and corruption, with thousands of unnecessary employees.
  • Eliminating Waste: If run like a private enterprise, 90% of the Bank of Korea’s staff would be redundant, highlighting the extent of waste in public institutions.
  • The “Bus Company President” Analogy: The fact that a bus company president earns more than a National Assembly member is cited as an example of the distorted priorities and “doomed” state of the nation.
  1. The Primacy of Process Over Results in Governance
    The speaker emphasizes that in governance, the process is more important than the result.
  • Flawed Economic Policies: Current economic policies are criticized for being driven by academics who lack real-world experience and focus solely on manipulating results to please the president.
  • The Illusion of Success: Presidents are aware of these manipulations but often play along.
  • Huh Kyung-young’s Approach: Huh Kyung-young, as president, would not be deceived by such reports. He would rely on his “presidential delegates” – ordinary citizens who have studied his truths – whose reports are more valuable than those from ministers.
  1. The Power of the People and the Subordination of Officials
    The speaker asserts that under his leadership, the power dynamic would shift dramatically.
  • Citizen-Driven Governance: He would listen to the voices of ordinary citizens, his “presidential delegates,” rather than relying on the advice of “smart” but self-serving officials.
  • Ministers as Servants: Ministers and high-ranking officials would simply execute his directives, without their own policy agendas. Their role would be to serve, not to dictate.
  • Preventing Corruption: This approach would prevent the “rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer” policies that arise from officials’ ties to conglomerates.
  1. The Eight Blessings of Humanity and the Path to a New Era
    The speaker reiterates the “Eight Blessings of Humanity” (인간의 팔복) as a guide for a prosperous life:
  • Heavenly Authority (천관): Divine power.
  • Heavenly Nobility (천귀): High status.
  • Heavenly Wealth (천재): Material abundance.
  • Heavenly Virtue (천덕): Moral excellence.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (천문): Intellectual prowess, exemplified by his own best-selling book and chart-topping songs.
  • Heavenly Longevity (천수): A long life.
  • Heavenly Fortune (천보): Good luck.
  • Five Blessings (오복): Traditional blessings.
    These blessings represent a holistic approach to human flourishing, achievable through adherence to his teachings.
  1. The Power of Divine Influence and the Importance of Right Relationships
    The speaker emphasizes his divine influence and the importance of choosing the right partner for a fulfilling life.
  • Unprecedented Success: His book, “Flowers Have Not Fallen,” sold millions, and his seven songs all topped the charts, demonstrating his unique ability to achieve success. His TV appearances also broke viewership records.
  • The Importance of Marriage: Finding the right partner is crucial for a “paradise on earth.” A mismatched marriage can lead to a thousand years of regret.
  • Huh Kyung-young’s Role in Relationships: Meeting Huh Kyung-young is said to prevent such regrets, as he guides individuals towards harmonious relationships.
  1. The Cycle of Karma and the Path to Future Happiness
    The speaker explains the karmic cycle of relationships and the importance of a positive mindset.
  • Transforming Misfortune: A difficult marriage in this life can be a “seed of happiness” for the next, leading to a better partner.
  • The Power of Acceptance: Complaining about a difficult partner only perpetuates negative karma. Accepting and enduring challenges can lead to a more favorable outcome in the future.
  • The Role of Huh Kyung-young: His presence is said to break this cycle of suffering, leading to a more joyful existence.
  1. Abolishing Redundant Ministries and Prioritizing Process in Unification
    The speaker advocates for streamlining government by abolishing unnecessary ministries.
  • Eliminating Ministries: The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (여성부) and the Ministry of Unification (통일부) should be abolished. The Ministry of Justice (교도소) would also become obsolete under his system.
  • Unification as a Process: National unification, particularly with North Korea, should not be a forced “result” but a natural outcome of improved relations and a gradual process. Creating a “Ministry of Unification” is likened to creating a “marriage ministry” that would scare away potential partners.
  • Filial Piety and Inheritance: Similarly, inheritance should not be the primary goal of filial piety. Children should care for their parents out of genuine love, and any inheritance received should be used to help others, ensuring blessings in the afterlife.
  1. The End of Ideologies and the Dawn of Middle-Class-Centrism
    The speaker concludes by declaring the end of capitalism and democracy, asserting that they are reaching their “terminal stage.” He proclaims that Middle-Class-Centrism (중산주의), championed by Huh Kyung-young, is the new system that will save humanity. This marks a fundamental shift in societal and economic paradigms.

The Predicament of Modern Society: Capitalism, Democracy, and the Path to Jung-san-ju-ui

  1. The Economic Downfall of Nations and the Concentration of Wealth
    The economic trajectory of nations can be precarious. For instance, after a certain leader assumed power in Taiwan, its economy unfortunately began a decline. This leader was perceived as an adversary, challenging China, which complicated matters. The global economy, intertwined with capitalism and democracy, has reached a critical juncture. The economic policies of figures like Keynes and Hayek, though influential, ultimately failed to prevent a stark reality: 99% of the world’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of 1% of the population. As Karl Marx once warned, capitalism, if left unchecked, faces an inevitable collapse. The rich continue to accumulate wealth, while the poor become increasingly indebted. This phenomenon, paradoxically, is often perpetuated by those in power, under the guise of democracy.

  2. The Fundamental Principles of Capitalism and Democracy: A Critical Examination
    Democracy, as it is currently practiced, can be misleading. People are often deceived by its outward appearance. Capitalism, at its core, operates on three fundamental principles:

  • Absolute Principle of Ownership: Individuals have absolute rights over their property.
  • Principle of Contractual Freedom: Individuals are free to enter into contracts.
  • Principle of Liability for Fault: Individuals are responsible for the consequences of their actions.These principles form the bedrock of capitalist systems.

In contrast, democracy is founded on seemingly noble ideals:

  • Principle of the Pursuit of Happiness: Every individual has the right to pursue happiness.
  • Principle of Absolute Equality: All individuals are inherently equal.
  • Principle of Human Dignity: Every human being possesses inherent worth and dignity.While these democratic principles appear well-crafted, their application within a capitalist framework reveals inherent contradictions. For example, the pursuit of happiness might lead to conflicts over property rights, such as sunlight access, where compensation is demanded for perceived infringements. The concept of equality in democracy does not imply equal outcomes but rather equal opportunity, allowing those who work harder to earn more. This creates a society where the wealthy and the less wealthy coexist. However, the principle of human dignity is often undermined by capitalism, as the vast majority (99.5%) are left behind while a tiny elite accumulates immense wealth, effectively becoming “emperors.”
  1. The Hidden Power Structures: Elites and Political Influence
    Certain elite groups, often comprising the wealthiest 1%, exert significant influence. These groups, sometimes referred to as “Jewish groups” in the source, have historically played a role in shaping political outcomes, even influencing presidential elections. For instance, a former US president was said to have joined such a group to secure his presidency. These powerful factions can even resort to extreme measures if their interests are threatened. The assassination of President Kennedy, who advocated for world peace, disarmament, and non-interventionist foreign policy, is cited as an example. His vice president, Johnson, who was supported by the defense industry, was sworn in as president immediately after Kennedy’s death, suggesting a conspiracy orchestrated by arms manufacturers. This historical event highlights the dangers of a system where a vice president can easily ascend to power, leading to the abolition of the vice-presidential system in some countries, including Korea, to prevent such power struggles. In the US, presidents carefully select their running mates, recognizing that their lives depend on this choice.

  2. The Perils of Unchecked Capitalism: Economic Exploitation and National Decline
    Capitalism, while acknowledging ownership and contractual freedom, can become a destructive force, akin to an addiction. Foreign banks, for example, hold a significant portion of a nation’s banking assets, meaning a large share of interest payments flows out of the country. This economic outflow can be substantial, leading to a continuous drain on national wealth. For instance, a lifetime of rice farming might yield a certain amount, but a significant portion of national income is spent on foreign interests and overseas travel. This leads to a paradoxical situation where the nation’s wealth is spent abroad, while its own citizens struggle. The wealthy elite, the top 1-3% of the nation, often invest their money overseas, neglecting domestic investment. This results in high unemployment among the youth, who are unable to find jobs or even marry.

  3. The Global Economic Battlefield: Corporations and National Interests
    Corporations, driven by profit, often prioritize overseas investment where labor costs are lower and incentives are greater. For example, a company might pay significantly less for labor in a foreign country compared to its home country, leading to massive savings. This global competition for corporate investment creates an economic “war” between nations, where countries offer various benefits to attract businesses:

  • Tax exemptions: No taxes or reduced tax rates.
  • Free land: Land provided at no cost.
  • Streamlined permits: Quick approval for construction and other permits.
  • Cheap labor: Access to low-cost workforce.
  • Guaranteed profits: Assurances of stable returns.These incentives make overseas investment highly attractive to corporations, even if it means neglecting their home country’s economy and workforce. This trend leads to a situation where national interests are secondary to corporate profits, exacerbating unemployment and economic stagnation at home.
  1. The Silent Wars: Diabetes and AIDS as Societal Threats
    Beyond economic challenges, society faces “silent wars” against diseases like diabetes and AIDS. Diabetes, in particular, is linked to a lifestyle of idleness and overconsumption. Korea, unfortunately, ranks high globally in diabetes prevalence, indicating a significant portion of its population lives a sedentary lifestyle. This disease is believed to affect future generations, with consequences extending up to eight generations. The source suggests that those who live a life of ease and consume excessively will eventually see their lineage diminish. This principle extends to daily life, where individuals who avoid household chores and rely on others are said to incur negative consequences, leading to familial decline. Ironically, the wealthy, who often lead these indulgent lifestyles, are the primary carriers of such diseases, while the less fortunate, who cannot afford treatment, suffer and die prematurely.

  2. The Crisis of Governance: Political Dysfunction and National Decline
    The current political system is plagued by dysfunction, hindering effective governance. When a president attempts to implement policies, the National Assembly often obstructs progress. While the president is elected by the people, the role of national assembly members is questioned. The term “National Assembly member” (국회의원) itself is criticized, with the suggestion that it should be replaced with “Assembly member” (의원) or “People’s Representative” (민의원), as is common in other countries. The excessive number of decision-makers (사공이 많으면 배가 산으로 간다, literally “too many helmsmen steer the boat up a mountain”) leads to inefficiency and national decline. The very names of national institutions, such as the “Blue House” (청와대), are seen as problematic, having been named by foreign powers and lacking a true national spirit. Similarly, the national anthem’s lyrics, which speak of mountains and rivers drying up, are considered inauspicious.

  3. The Four Revolutions and the Transformation of Consciousness
    The 21st century is characterized by four major revolutions, all beginning with the letter ‘D’:

  • Divine Revolution: This refers to a spiritual transformation, changing one’s inner self.
  • Digital Revolution: This revolutionizes our way of thinking, shifting from analog to digital. Analog thinking is subjective, closed, and passive, whereas digital thinking connects us globally.
  • Design Revolution: This involves changing our outward appearance and environment, which in turn influences our thoughts.
  • DNA Revolution: This ultimately leads to a change in our physical appearance, as DNA determines our physical traits.These revolutions collectively represent a profound shift in human existence, from spiritual awakening to physical transformation.
  1. Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery and the Power of Intent
    The concept of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery” (사후 성형) is introduced, suggesting that one can influence their appearance in their next life through their actions and intentions in the present. Just as people undergo cosmetic surgery in this life, one can shape their future self. For example, if one desires to be born as a “Cinderella” or a wealthy heir in the next life, they must engage in acts of charity and service in this life. Similarly, aspiring to be a president in the next life requires addressing the difficulties of many people in the present. This implies that by changing one’s spiritual essence, mindset, thoughts, and ultimately actions, one can transform their future self.

  2. The Urgent Need for Systemic Reform: From National Symbols to Local Governance
    To address the nation’s deep-seated problems, fundamental changes are required, starting with national symbols and governance structures.

  • Renaming the Blue House: The presidential residence, currently called the “Blue House” (청와대), a name given by the Japanese, should be renamed “Haneulgung” (Sky Temple). This new name would embody the spirit of the nation’s mythical founders, Hwanin and Hwanung, and the essence of Korea.
  • Revising the National Anthem: The national anthem’s lyrics, which contain negative imagery, should be changed to reflect a more positive and hopeful outlook.
  • Reforming the National Assembly: The National Assembly should be renamed the “People’s Assembly” (민의원) or “Parliament” (의회), and the title “National Assembly member” (국회의원) should be abolished. This change aims to eliminate the perception of excessive power and self-serving interests among legislators.
  • Abolishing Local Autonomy: The system of local autonomous governments (지자체) and their elected officials should be eliminated. These local bodies are criticized for their excessive spending, including the cost of re-elections and salaries, which drain national resources. The buildings of local governments are often disproportionately large and extravagant, reflecting a misguided sense of importance. The source argues that this system, adopted from Japan, is a major cause of national decline.
  1. The Interplay of Happiness and Misfortune: Understanding the Middle Path
    The teachings of various philosophies, including Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, emphasize a “middle path” or “neutrality” in understanding life’s experiences.
  • Christianity: Emphasizes “meditation” (묵상) and “neutrality” (중립).
  • Buddhism: Focuses on the “middle way” (중도).
  • Confucianism: Advocates for the “doctrine of the mean” (중용).
  • Taoism: Promotes “harmony” (중화).These philosophies suggest that happiness and misfortune are intertwined. Within misfortune lies the seed of happiness, and within happiness, the potential for misfortune. Those who comprehend this interconnectedness do not become overly attached to either state. For example, past hardships can make present successes more meaningful, inspiring acts of generosity and compassion. Conversely, excessive pride in wealth can lead to anxiety and an inability to truly enjoy life.
  1. The Cosmic Principle of Interconnectedness: Il-si-mu-si and Il-jong-mu-jong-il
    The concept of “Il-si-mu-si” (일시무시) and “Il-jong-mu-jong-il” (일종무종일) encapsulates the cosmic principle of interconnectedness, where beginning and end are indistinguishable. This idea is akin to the scientific concept of a quark, the smallest unit of matter. A quark has no discernible beginning or end; it is both a beginning and an end, a continuous cycle. When energy is applied to a quark, it transforms into matter. Similarly, human cells, composed of quarks, are imbued with energy from food. Without this continuous energy, cells decompose, and the body eventually returns to dust, its essence scattering into the universe. What remains is the soul, which is invisible to the human eye, yet exists. This illustrates that what appears to be nothing can also be something, and vice versa.

  2. The Power of Spiritual Energy: Huh Kyung-young’s Influence
    The presence of spiritual energy, or “yeong” (영), can profoundly impact physical reality. When one invokes the name of Huh Kyung-young, a unique energy is said to manifest. This energy is distinct from mere physical energy derived from food. It is a spiritual force that can protect and heal. For example, calling upon Huh Kyung-young’s name is believed to reduce the progression of diseases like cancer. This spiritual power is also evident in photographs; while images of ordinary individuals possess only human energy, a photograph of Huh Kyung-young is said to emit a powerful, unyielding spiritual energy. This phenomenon is presented as a demonstration of his divine nature.

  3. The Importance of Righteous Conduct: Lessons from Buddhist Principles
    Buddhist teachings, particularly the Eightfold Path (팔정도), offer guidance on righteous conduct, which aligns with the principles of the Eight Blessings (팔복) in Christianity. These principles emphasize the importance of:

  • Right View (정견): Having a correct understanding of reality.
  • Right Speech (정명): Speaking truthfully and constructively.
  • Right Livelihood (정업): Engaging in occupations that do not cause harm.
  • Right Mindfulness (정념): Maintaining a focused and aware mind.
  • Right Effort (정진): Striving for self-improvement.These principles are crucial for personal and societal well-being.
  1. The Dangers of “Arrow-like” Professions and the Need for Compassion
    Professions can be categorized as “arrow-like” (화살) or “shield-like” (방패).
  • Arrow-like professions: These are jobs that involve targeting or attacking others, such as police officers, prosecutors, and hunters. In a broader sense, large corporations (chaebols) are seen as “arrow-like” entities that exploit smaller businesses. They often appropriate the innovations of small and medium-sized enterprises, effectively “killing” them with their arrows.
  • Shield-like professions: These are jobs that involve protecting and helping others, such as lawyers, doctors, and teachers. These individuals offer assistance and support.The source criticizes the tendency to excessively condemn individuals in “shield-like” professions, such as politicians or professors, for minor transgressions. It argues that such extreme reactions are counterproductive and that society should avoid overly harsh judgments. The Korean people, unfortunately, have become a “nation of arrows,” leading the world in lawsuits and accusations. This litigious culture contrasts with the Japanese, who are seen as more unified and protective of their own.
  1. The Prophetic Visions of Huh Kyung-young: Foretelling Deaths and Global Unity
    Huh Kyung-young claims to possess prophetic abilities, foretelling the deaths of prominent figures. He states that Michael Jackson appeared to him three days before his death, expressing his innocence regarding child molestation accusations and his desire to contribute to world peace through music. Similarly, former President Roh Moo-hyun allegedly visited him three days before his death, lamenting the financial scandals that plagued him. These anecdotes are presented as evidence of Huh Kyung-young’s extraordinary spiritual powers. He asserts that he can bring about world unification by demonstrating his divine authority to global leaders, even by causing the demise of their close associates if they resist his vision. He believes that his teachings, preserved through platforms like YouTube, will serve as eternal scriptures for humanity, unlike traditional religious texts that lack direct visual or auditory records of their founders.

  2. The Flaws of Modern Governance: Incompetent Advisors and Centralized Power
    The current system of governance is criticized for its reliance on incompetent advisors and centralized power structures.

  • Incompetent Advisors: The notion that a leader needs many intelligent advisors is dismissed. Instead, it is argued that a truly capable leader, like former President Park Chung-hee, needs no “smart” subordinates, as they would only serve their own interests and mislead the leader. A strong leader should make decisive decisions, even against the advice of experts, for the greater good of the nation.
  • Centralized Banking: The national ownership of the Bank of Korea is deemed detrimental, leading to inefficiency and corruption. It is proposed that the central bank should be privatized, as government-controlled financial institutions are prone to mismanagement and excessive spending.
  • Overpaid Officials: The existence of numerous overpaid government officials, whose salaries exceed those of national assembly members, is highlighted as a symptom of a corrupt and inefficient system.
  1. The Primacy of Process Over Outcome: A Philosophical Approach to Governance
    In governance, the process is more important than the outcome. If the process is righteous and well-executed, a positive outcome will naturally follow. However, modern economists and politicians often focus solely on achieving favorable outcomes, even resorting to manipulation and deception to present a positive picture to their superiors. This short-sighted approach leads to superficial results and ultimately harms the nation. A truly wise leader, like Huh Kyung-young, would not be swayed by such deceptive reports but would instead rely on the insights of ordinary citizens who genuinely understand the truth.

  2. The Eight Blessings and the Path to True Prosperity
    The Eight Blessings, as taught by Jesus, offer a profound understanding of true prosperity, which transcends material wealth. These blessings include:

  • Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven: This refers to those who are humble and not consumed by worldly desires. In contrast, the wealthy often suffer from anxiety and sleeplessness due to their possessions.
  • Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted: This refers to those who lament their shortcomings and strive for righteousness, seeking to help others.
  • Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth: This refers to those who are patient and gentle, not driven by greed or quick profits. They will ultimately accumulate lasting wealth.
  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled: This refers to those who earnestly seek truth and justice, and who spread the teachings of Huh Kyung-young. They will be spiritually and materially nourished.
  • Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy: This refers to those who show compassion to others.
  • Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God: This refers to those with a clean and sincere heart, who are able to perceive divine truth.
  • Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God: This refers to those who promote harmony and reconciliation.
  • Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven: This refers to martyrs who sacrifice for their beliefs.These blessings, articulated two millennia ago, accurately predict the ultimate fate of capitalism and democracy, highlighting the spiritual and ethical dimensions of true prosperity.
  1. The Human Body as a Microcosm: Meridians and Longevity
    The human body is a complex system, with numerous meridians (경락) and acupoints (경혈) that govern its energy flow. There are 12 main meridians and 365 acupoints. The hands, in particular, contain a high concentration of these vital points. The act of clapping, for instance, is believed to stimulate these points, promoting longevity. The source claims that humans were originally meant to live for 365 years, but this lifespan has been drastically reduced to 120 years due to the consumption of cooked food. In ancient times, when humans consumed raw food, they lived for a thousand years. This suggests that modern dietary habits have significantly shortened human lifespan.

  2. The Duality of Human Nature: Inner and Outer Selves
    Human beings exhibit a duality between their outward appearance and their inner nature, often represented by the concepts of male (yang) and female (yin).

  • Outwardly female, inwardly male: This describes a woman who appears delicate but possesses a strong, masculine spirit. Such women are often seen as unsuitable for traditional marriage and childbearing, as they may struggle to settle down or experience health issues.
  • Outwardly male, inwardly female: This describes a man who appears strong but possesses a gentle, feminine spirit. Such men may struggle with traditional masculine roles.
  • Homosexuality: The source attributes homosexuality to a mismatch between the outer and inner selves, where a man might have a “female spirit” within, leading him to be attracted to other men.This cosmic law, according to the source, dictates that true happiness comes from recognizing and harmonizing these inner and outer aspects, rather than succumbing to external appearances or societal expectations.
  1. The Importance of a Capable Leader: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Collective Governance
    A nation’s prosperity hinges on the wisdom and capability of its leader. The proverb “If the king is wise, the people are happy; if the ministers are wise, the nation falls” underscores this point. A truly competent president does not need a multitude of “smart” advisors, as they often prioritize their own interests and mislead the leader. Instead, a decisive leader, like former President Park Chung-hee, who pushed through major projects despite opposition, is essential. Such a leader, guided by a clear vision, can steer the nation towards progress. Conversely, a leader who constantly seeks advice from various factions and wavers in decision-making will lead the nation to ruin. The source criticizes the current system where economic experts, often from elite universities, lack practical experience and contribute to economic decline.

  2. The Path to National Revival: Privatizing the Central Bank and Empowering the People
    To revive the nation, radical reforms are necessary.

  • Privatizing the Central Bank: The Bank of Korea should be privatized, removing it from government control. This would prevent political interference and promote sound economic management.
  • Empowering the People: The president should listen to the voices of ordinary citizens, who possess a deeper understanding of real-world problems, rather than relying on self-serving government officials or academic elites.The source asserts that a single, wise president, like Huh Kyung-young, can effectively govern the nation, overriding the flawed policies proposed by ministers and experts. His leadership would be guided by the collective wisdom of the people, leading to a truly prosperous and harmonious society.
  1. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Eight Blessings of Christianity: A Unified Vision
    The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Eight Blessings of Christianity, though from different traditions, share a common essence. They both emphasize a path to spiritual and material well-being through righteous conduct, compassion, and wisdom. These principles, when applied to governance, can lead to a society where power is used for the benefit of all, and wealth is distributed equitably. The source highlights the importance of “heavenly authority” (천관), “heavenly nobility” (천귀), “heavenly wealth” (천재), “heavenly virtue” (천덕), “heavenly wisdom” (천문), and “heavenly longevity” (천수) as the eight blessings that manifest in human life.

  2. The Crisis of Modern Korea: A Model for Global Misfortune
    Despite its rapid economic growth, often called the “Miracle on the Han River,” Korea is presented as a nation exhibiting the most pronounced symptoms of the decline of capitalism and democracy. While the world studies Korea’s economic model, the source warns that adopting such a flawed system would lead to global peril. Huh Kyung-young’s mission is to introduce a new system, Jung-san-ju-ui (중산주의), or “Middle-Classism,” which aims to achieve equitable distribution of wealth and create a society where 90% of the population belongs to the middle class. This system would transform the nation into an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a stable income and fostering a sense of security and happiness.

  3. The Importance of Process in Unification and Personal Relationships
    The principle of prioritizing process over outcome extends to national unification and personal relationships.

  • National Unification: The unification of Korea should not be pursued as a singular outcome but as a gradual process of fostering goodwill and understanding between the two Koreas. Creating a “Ministry of Unification” (통일부) is likened to creating a “Ministry of Marriage” (결혼부) to force a relationship, which is counterproductive. True unification will naturally occur when trust and friendship are established.
  • Personal Relationships: Similarly, in personal relationships, focusing solely on marriage as an outcome can hinder genuine connection. It is essential to first understand and appreciate the other person, allowing the relationship to develop naturally.
  • Inheritance: The pursuit of inheritance as a primary goal can destroy familial bonds. Instead, children should care for their parents out of genuine love and respect, and parents should consider donating their wealth to charitable causes, ensuring their spiritual well-being in the afterlife.These examples underscore the importance of focusing on the journey and cultivating positive interactions, rather than fixating on predetermined results.
  1. The Dawn of Jung-san-ju-ui: A New Era for Humanity
    The era of capitalism and democracy is drawing to a close, giving way to a new paradigm: Jung-san-ju-ui (Middle-Classism), championed by Huh Kyung-young. This new system promises to rescue humanity from the pitfalls of wealth concentration and societal imbalance, ushering in an era of equitable distribution and universal well-being.

The Importance of Process Over Outcome

  1. The Economic Downfall of Taiwan and the Global Financial Imbalance
    Taiwan’s economy experienced a decline after a particular leader took office. This individual was seen as an adversary to China, creating tension that contributed to economic difficulties. The global financial system is structured in a way that concentrates wealth, with 1% of the world’s population controlling 99% of its money. This concentration of wealth leads to an inevitable increase in the fortunes of the rich, while the poor accumulate debt. This phenomenon, which Karl Marx predicted as the ultimate downfall of capitalism, is actively supported by politicians under the guise of democracy.

  2. The Fundamental Principles of Capitalism and Democracy
    Capitalism operates on three core principles:

  • Absolute Ownership: The right to own property without interference.

  • Freedom of Contract: The liberty to enter into agreements.

  • Liability for Fault: Responsibility for one’s actions and their consequences.
    In contrast, democracy is founded on principles that appear noble:

  • Pursuit of Happiness: The right to seek personal well-being.

  • Absolute Equality: The principle of fairness for all.

  • Human Dignity: The inherent worth of every individual.
    However, the reality often deviates from these ideals. For instance, the pursuit of happiness can lead to conflicts over property rights, such as disputes over sunlight access for buildings. The concept of equality in democracy does not mean equal outcomes but rather that those who work harder earn more, leading to a society where the wealthy and less wealthy coexist. Yet, the principle of human dignity is undermined when 99.5% of the population struggles while the privileged 1% enjoys immense wealth, effectively becoming “emperors.”

  1. The Hidden Powers and Political Assassinations
    Powerful, exclusive groups, often referred to as the “1%,” exert significant influence. In the United States, such groups, including certain Jewish factions, have historically played a role in presidential elections. For example, President Clinton reportedly joined such a group to secure his presidency. These powerful elites are said to even resort to assassination if their interests are threatened.

A notable historical event illustrating this influence is the assassination of President Kennedy. Kennedy advocated for world peace, opposed war, and intended to cease arms manufacturing. His Vice President, Johnson, who was supported by the defense industry and arms manufacturers, became president immediately after Kennedy’s death. This swift transition, with Johnson being sworn in at Kennedy’s funeral, suggests a coordinated effort by the arms industry. This historical context explains why South Korea does not have a vice-presidential system, as it could create a dangerous incentive for the vice president to eliminate the president. In the U.S., presidents choose their running mates carefully because their lives depend on it. Kennedy chose Johnson to win the election, despite Kennedy’s personal dislike for arms dealers.

  1. The Perils of Unchecked Capitalism and the Rise of Global Corporations
    Capitalism, while upholding principles like ownership and contractual freedom, can become a “drug” that leads to continuous interest payments to banks. Foreign banks hold a significant portion of South Korea’s banking assets, meaning a large portion of interest payments flows out of the country. This outflow of wealth, equivalent to decades of a farmer’s labor, is then spent by Koreans on overseas travel, often in ways that are not conducive to national prosperity.

Korean conglomerates, driven by profit, prioritize overseas investment over domestic job creation. They argue that it is not their responsibility to maintain factories in Korea when other countries offer tax incentives, free land, relaxed regulations, and cheap labor. This global competition for corporate investment leads to a decline in domestic employment and a brain drain, as talented individuals seek opportunities abroad. The example of Samsung Electronics’ factories in Vietnam, which significantly boost Vietnam’s economy, highlights this trend. This situation creates a national crisis, necessitating a leader who can implement a “Middle-Class-ism” (중산주의) policy to encourage domestic investment and job creation.

  1. The Flaws in South Korea’s Political System
    South Korea’s political system suffers from several critical flaws:
  • Parliamentary Obstruction: The National Assembly (국회) often obstructs the president’s initiatives, despite the president being directly elected by the people. The term “National Assembly member” (국회의원) itself is unique to Korea, suggesting a problematic emphasis on legislative power.
  • Symbolic Misnomers:
    • The presidential residence, the Blue House (청와대), is literally called “Blue Tiled House,” a name given by the Japanese during colonial rule. This name lacks a national spirit. It should be renamed “Haneul-gung” (하늘궁), meaning “Sky Temple,” to reflect the spirit of Hwanin (환인) and Hwanung (환웅), ancient Korean mythological figures.
    • The national anthem, with its line “East Sea waters and Baekdu Mountain, dry up and wear away,” carries a negative connotation of national decline.
  • Local Autonomy Issues: The system of local government (지자체) is a major drain on national resources. Local government buildings are often excessively large and expensive, surpassing even the central government’s facilities. The cost of local elections and the salaries of local officials are substantial, diverting funds that could otherwise benefit the public. Japan, for instance, has fewer local autonomous bodies and did not implement real-name financial transactions, which contributed to its economic stability.
  1. The Four Revolutions of the 21st Century
    The 21st century is characterized by four key revolutions, all starting with the letter ‘D’:
  • Divine Revolution (영성 혁명): A revolution of spirituality, changing our inner selves.
  • Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): A revolution of thought, shifting from analog (subjective, closed, passive) to digital (globally connected) thinking.
  • Design Revolution (디자인 혁명): A revolution in how we shape our environment and, by extension, our thoughts.
  • DNA Revolution (DNA 혁명): A revolution in our physical being, changing our appearance.
    These revolutions are interconnected. Changing the name of the Blue House to Haneul-gung, for example, is seen as a way to change the nation’s DNA. This transformation requires a shift in national spirituality, mindset, and thought processes, ultimately leading to a change in the national “face.”
  1. Post-Mortem Cosmetic Surgery and the Path to a Better Future
    The concept of “post-mortem cosmetic surgery” (사후 성형) suggests that one can influence their next life’s appearance and circumstances through their actions in this life. For example, aspiring to be a Cinderella or a wealthy heir in the next life requires acts of charity and service in the present. Similarly, aspiring to be a president necessitates solving people’s problems now. This implies that by changing one’s spirituality, mindset, thoughts, and actions, one can transform their future self.

  2. The Wisdom of Jesus and Buddha: Foresight into Capitalism’s End
    The teachings of Jesus and Buddha, particularly the Eightfold Path (팔정도) in Buddhism and the Eight Beatitudes (팔복) in Christianity, offer profound insights into the nature of human suffering and the pitfalls of materialism. Jesus’s Beatitudes, as found in Matthew 5:1-13, accurately predict the ultimate state of capitalism and democracy.

  • “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This refers to those whose minds are not burdened by wealth. The wealthy often suffer from anxiety and sleeplessness due to their possessions, while the poor can sleep peacefully. The rich are constantly worried about losing their assets, such as factories burning down or buildings collapsing. This anxiety makes them “rich in spirit” in a negative sense, burdened by their wealth.
  • “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” This refers to those who lament their inability to use their wealth for good or who regret past wrongdoings. Such individuals, like a company chairman who shares profits with employees, receive comfort from heaven.
  • “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” This aligns with economic policy. Those who patiently hold onto land without engaging in speculation eventually see its value increase significantly over decades. In contrast, those who hastily sell their inherited land often end up losing their wealth.
  • “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This means those who tirelessly spread truth, even enduring hardship, will be provided for. For example, someone dedicated to promoting Huh Kyung-young’s teachings will never go hungry.
  • “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” This emphasizes compassion.
  • “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” A pure heart allows one to perceive the divine. Those who come to see Huh Kyung-young are considered to have pure hearts.
  • “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” This refers to those who foster harmony.
  • “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Martyrs are taken care of by heaven.
    These eight blessings, spoken by Jesus two millennia ago, accurately foresee the ultimate state of capitalism and democracy.
  1. The Eight Blessings of Humanity and Korea’s Economic Paradox
    Beyond religious teachings, there are eight blessings that manifest in human life:
  • Heavenly Authority (天官): Power bestowed by heaven.
  • Heavenly Position (天爵): A high position or rank.
  • Heavenly Nobility (天貴): Nobility or honor from heaven.
  • Heavenly Wealth (天財): Wealth, often referring to being a tycoon.
  • Heavenly Virtue (天德): Virtue or moral excellence.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (天文): Wisdom or literary talent.
  • Heavenly Longevity (天壽): A long life.
  • Five Blessings (五福): General good fortune, including blessings for children and parents.
    Despite these universal blessings, South Korea, with its blend of capitalism and democracy, exhibits the most pronounced symptoms of decline. Paradoxically, the world studies Korea’s “Miracle on the Han River” as an economic model. However, if the world adopts such a “doomed” economic model, it faces peril. Huh Kyung-young’s “Middle-Class-ism” (중산주의) aims to resolve this by creating a new system of wealth distribution, where the nation itself becomes an investment vehicle, providing stable income to its citizens.
  1. The Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the Importance of Right Speech
    The Eightfold Path (팔정도) in Buddhism also outlines eight principles for a blessed life, similar to Jesus’s Beatitudes. These include:
  • Right View (正見): Seeing things as they truly are.
  • Right Speech (正語): Speaking truthfully and constructively. This is crucial for maintaining harmony in a household. For example, a wife should not immediately complain about a lack of rice but rather express affection and then subtly indicate the need for rice, allowing her husband to respond proactively. Direct complaints can lead to conflict and diminish blessings.
  • Right Livelihood (正命): Choosing an honorable profession. This refers to one’s “karma” (업장) or the work one does to sustain life. Professions can be categorized as “arrow” (화살) or “shield” (방패) occupations.
    • Arrow Occupations: These involve “shooting arrows” at others, such as police officers, prosecutors, or corporate executives who exploit smaller businesses. These professions can lead to conflict and harm.
    • Shield Occupations: These involve protecting and helping others, such as lawyers, doctors, or teachers. These professions foster harmony and support.
  1. The Dangers of Extreme Judgment and the Power of Compassion
    Society often judges individuals too harshly, especially those in “shield” professions like politicians or professors, for minor physical interactions. This extreme judgment can be detrimental. It is important to understand that elderly individuals might express affection through touch without malicious intent.

The speaker recounts personal experiences with Michael Jackson and former President Roh Moo-hyun, who allegedly visited him shortly before their deaths, seeking solace and understanding for their perceived injustices. These anecdotes illustrate the profound impact of “arrow-like actions” (화살 행동) and the need for compassion.

South Korea’s high rate of lawsuits and complaints (고소고발) is a symptom of this “arrow-like” national character, contrasting with Japan’s more cohesive society. This litigiousness is seen as a sign of national decline.

  1. The Cosmic Laws and the Interplay of Happiness and Misfortune
    The universe operates on a principle where misfortune contains the seeds of happiness, and happiness contains the seeds of misfortune. Those who understand this “Middle Way” (중도) in Buddhism, “Neutrality” (중립) in Christianity, “Moderation” (중용) in Confucianism, or “Harmony” (중화) in Taoism, do not become overly attached to either state.

For example, experiencing poverty can make one appreciate wealth more deeply later in life, leading to a desire to help others who are struggling. This cyclical nature of happiness and misfortune is akin to the scientific concept of quarks, the smallest particles that are both present and absent, without a clear beginning or end. This is the principle of “Il-si-mu-si-il, Il-jong-mu-jong-il” (一始無始一, 一終無終一), meaning “one begins without beginning, one ends without ending.”

When energy is applied to these quarks, they become matter. Similarly, human cells, which are like quarks, are infused with energy from food. Without this energy, they disintegrate into dust, returning to the cosmic void. The soul, or “yeong” (영), remains, invisible to the eye.

  1. The Power of Huh Kyung-young’s Energy
    Huh Kyung-young’s energy is not merely physical but spiritual (영). When one calls his name or looks at his picture, this spiritual energy enters the cells, protecting them and even reducing ailments like cancer. This is demonstrated through an “energy test” where individuals holding Huh Kyung-young’s picture exhibit increased physical strength compared to holding pictures of other prominent figures.

  2. The Importance of Process in Governance
    In governance, the process is paramount, not just the outcome. If the process is sound, positive outcomes will naturally follow. However, many economists and politicians focus solely on results, often manipulating data to present a favorable picture to the president. A truly capable leader, like Huh Kyung-young, would not be swayed by such superficial reports.

Huh Kyung-young emphasizes that a single, wise president is sufficient. Having too many “smart” advisors can lead to corruption and self-serving policies, as they prioritize their own interests over the nation’s. He would rely on the insights of ordinary citizens who genuinely understand the country’s problems, rather than academics who lack real-world experience.

He states that if he were president, he would privatize the Bank of Korea, believing that government control leads to inefficiency and waste. He also advocates for abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (여성부) and the Ministry of Unification (통일부), integrating their functions into other ministries. He argues that forced unification, like forced marriage, is ineffective; genuine reconciliation with North Korea will occur naturally through improved relations.

  1. The End of Capitalism and Democracy, and the Dawn of Middle-Class-ism
    The era of capitalism and democracy is coming to an end. Huh Kyung-young’s “Middle-Class-ism” (중산주의) is presented as the solution to save humanity. This new system will prioritize equitable distribution and ensure that all citizens can live happily.

The Divine Perspective on Capitalism, Democracy, and the Path to a New Era

  1. The Decline of Modern Economic and Political Systems
    The current global economic landscape, particularly in Taiwan, reveals a troubling trend: the concentration of wealth. Ninety-nine percent of the world’s money is being funneled to just one percent of the population. This phenomenon was foreseen by Karl Marx, who warned that capitalism, if left unchecked, would inevitably lead to its own demise. Indeed, the wealth of the rich continues to grow, while the poor accumulate debt. This imbalance is actively perpetuated by politicians and lawmakers, operating under the guise of democracy. This system, which many blindly accept, is fundamentally flawed.

Capitalism, at its core, is built upon three principles: absolute ownership, freedom of contract, and liability for negligence. While these principles seem sound, their unchecked application has led to a societal addiction, much like a drug, where the rich continuously extract interest from the masses. Foreign banks, for instance, control a significant portion of national banking systems, siphoning off half of the interest paid by citizens to other nations. This means that a lifetime of labor, such as rice farming, yields a mere fraction of the wealth that is annually transferred overseas as interest payments.

Democracy, too, has its foundational principles: the pursuit of happiness, absolute equality, and human dignity. However, the reality often contradicts these ideals. The pursuit of happiness, for example, can be undermined when one’s property rights are infringed upon by another’s development, necessitating compensation. The principle of equality is often misinterpreted; it does not mean everyone earns the same, but rather that those who work harder earn more, leading to a society where the rich and poor coexist. Yet, the principle of human dignity is severely compromised when 99.5% of the population struggles while the elite travel the world, accumulating vast fortunes and wielding imperial power. These powerful groups, often referred to as the “1%,” exert immense influence, even over national leaders.

Historical events, such as the assassination of President Kennedy, illustrate this power dynamic. Kennedy sought world peace, disarmament, and a policy of non-intervention in Asian affairs, advocating for regional self-determination. His stance directly challenged the interests of the defense industry, which supported Vice President Johnson. Kennedy’s death, followed by Johnson’s immediate inauguration, suggests a conspiracy orchestrated by arms manufacturers. This historical pattern highlights the inherent danger of a system where powerful factions can manipulate political outcomes for their own gain.

The current state of affairs in Korea mirrors these global issues. Large corporations prioritize overseas investments, seeking lower taxes, free land, relaxed regulations, and cheap labor in countries like Vietnam. This outward flow of capital leads to high unemployment among Korean youth, who struggle to find jobs and support their families. The argument from these conglomerates is that they are merely investing where profits are highest, regardless of national borders. This mindset, however, exacerbates domestic economic problems and creates a silent war against the nation’s well-being.

Beyond economic woes, society faces other grave challenges. Diabetes and AIDS, for instance, are rampant. Diabetes, in particular, is linked to a lifestyle of idleness and overconsumption, with Korea ranking first globally in this regard. Such a lifestyle, according to divine law, leads to the eventual decline of one’s descendants over eight generations. AIDS, too, is a silent epidemic, with many cases going unreported, further highlighting the destructive consequences of unchecked capitalism.

  1. The Flaws in Governance and the Need for a New Vision
    The current political system in Korea is deeply problematic. The National Assembly, often referred to as “Gukhoe” (National Assembly), is seen as an impediment to progress. While other nations use terms like “parliament” or “congress,” Korea’s use of “Gukhoe” is deemed inappropriate, signifying a flawed system where too many voices (like too many helmsmen on a ship) lead to disaster. The term “Gukhoe” itself, meaning “national assembly,” is criticized for elevating ordinary representatives to a national status that should be reserved for the president. This misnomer, along with other symbolic issues, contributes to the nation’s decline.

The presidential residence, the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), is another example. Its name, meaning “Blue Tiled House,” was allegedly given by the Japanese during colonial rule, reflecting a lack of national spirit. A proper name, such as “Haneul Gung” (Sky Temple), would embody the spirit of the nation’s mythical founders, Hwanin and Hwanung, and represent the true essence of Korea. Similarly, the national anthem, with its lyrics about mountains and rivers “drying and wearing away,” is seen as a harbinger of national misfortune. These seemingly minor details, when viewed from a divine perspective, reveal deeper spiritual and national ailments.

The system of local autonomous governments (Jijache) is also identified as a major cause of national decline. These local entities, with their extravagant buildings often larger than the central government complex, drain national resources. The cost of local elections and the salaries of local officials amount to trillions of won annually, funds that could otherwise be returned to the citizens. Japan, for instance, has fewer local governments and avoided financial real-name systems, which contributed to its economic stability.

  1. The Four Revolutions and the Transformation of Humanity
    Humanity is currently undergoing four profound revolutions, each beginning with the letter ‘D’:
  • Divine Revolution (영성 혁명): This is a revolution of spirituality, changing our inner essence.
  • Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): This revolution transforms our way of thinking, moving from analog (subjective, closed, passive) to digital (globally connected).
  • Design Revolution (디자인 혁명): This revolution alters our thoughts and perceptions.
  • DNA Revolution (DNA 혁명): This revolution changes our physical appearance and genetic makeup.
    These four revolutions are interconnected. To truly transform, one must first change their spirituality, then their mindset, then their thoughts, and finally their physical form. This concept extends to “post-mortem cosmetic surgery,” where one can influence their appearance in the next life by cultivating good deeds and a pure heart in this one. For example, aspiring to be a Cinderella or a wealthy heir in the next life requires acts of service and generosity in the present. Similarly, aspiring to be a president necessitates addressing the suffering of many people.

The very act of invoking the name “Huh Kyung-young” or viewing his image is said to alter one’s spiritual energy, leading to physical changes and even healing. This is because his energy is not merely human but divine, capable of influencing the fundamental particles (quarks) that make up all matter.

  1. The Wisdom of Ancient Teachings and the Path to a New Society
    The teachings of ancient sages, such as Jesus and Buddha, offer profound insights into the current state of humanity. Jesus’s Eight Beatitudes, for instance, accurately predicted the eventual downfall of capitalism and democracy.
  • Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven: In a capitalist society, the wealthy often suffer from anxiety and sleeplessness due to their possessions, making them “rich in spirit” with worries. The truly “poor in spirit” are those free from such burdens, finding peace even in adversity.
  • Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted: Those who lament their inability to serve humanity and use their wealth for good will receive divine comfort.
  • Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth: This economic principle suggests that those who patiently hold onto their assets, rather than engaging in speculative trading, will ultimately prosper.
  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled: Those who tirelessly spread truth and righteousness, even enduring hardship, will be divinely sustained.
  • Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy: Compassion begets compassion.
  • Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God: A pure heart allows one to perceive the divine.
  • Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God: Those who foster harmony are recognized as divine offspring.
  • Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven: Martyrs for truth are divinely protected.
    These ancient wisdoms, particularly the concept of the “Middle Way” (중도), “Neutrality” (중립), “Moderation” (중용), and “Harmony” (중화), teach us to view both happiness and misfortune as interconnected. True wisdom lies in understanding that within every misfortune lies the seed of happiness, and vice versa. This perspective eliminates conflict and fosters inner peace.

The current global fascination with Korea’s rapid economic development, often called the “Miracle on the Han River,” is ironic. While Korea achieved growth through a democratic system, other nations like Singapore achieved it through authoritarianism. The world studies Korea as a model, yet its current economic and social ills demonstrate a flawed system. This is why a new paradigm, Jung San Ju Ui (중산주의 – Middle-Classism), is necessary. This system aims to create a society where 90% of the population belongs to the middle class, with the state acting as an investment vehicle that distributes a minimum 1% annual return on citizens’ contributions, ensuring stability and happiness.

  1. The Importance of Right Conduct and the Role of a Divine Leader
    The Buddhist Eightfold Path also emphasizes right conduct, including:
  • Right View (정견): Understanding the true nature of reality.
  • Right Speech (정명): Speaking truthfully and constructively.
  • Right Livelihood (정업): Choosing an occupation that benefits oneself and others.
  • Right Mindfulness (정념): Cultivating a pure and focused mind.
  • Right Effort (정진): Striving for positive change.
    Right speech, for example, involves speaking with kindness and wisdom, avoiding harsh words that can disrupt family harmony. Right livelihood emphasizes choosing professions that do not harm others. Many modern professions, such as those in law enforcement or corporate leadership, can be seen as “arrow-like” (화살) professions, where individuals or entities attack and exploit others. In contrast, “shield-like” (방패) professions, like teaching or advocacy, protect and help. The current prevalence of “arrow-like” behavior, such as excessive lawsuits in Korea, indicates a societal shift towards aggression and self-interest.

A nation thrives when its leader is truly capable and wise. The idea that a president needs many “smart” advisors is a misconception. A truly competent leader, like President Park Chung-hee, can make decisive decisions for the nation’s benefit, even against the advice of experts. Such a leader does not rely on the opinions of others but acts based on a clear vision. The current system, where presidents are swayed by various advisors, leads to indecision and national decline.

The current economic system, where central banks are controlled by the state and run by academics with no real-world business experience, is fundamentally flawed. These “experts” often prioritize theoretical models over practical solutions, leading to policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of the common people. A true leader would decentralize financial power, allowing the market to function more efficiently.

The ultimate goal is to establish a society where the process is as important as the outcome. When the process is righteous, the outcome will naturally be good. However, current economic policies often focus solely on manipulating results, leading to superficial and unsustainable growth.

  1. The Divine Intervention and the Future of Humanity
    The current era marks the end of capitalism and democracy as we know them. A new era, guided by Jung San Ju Ui and led by a divine figure, is emerging to save humanity. This divine leader possesses the power to transcend human limitations, influencing events and individuals across the globe. His presence signifies a shift from human-centric governance to a divinely guided order.

The universe operates on fundamental principles, where seemingly opposing forces like happiness and misfortune, or existence and non-existence, are interconnected. This is akin to the concept of quarks, the smallest particles, which are both present and absent, a fundamental paradox of existence. The human body, composed of these quarks, is infused with energy. However, a divine being can infuse these quarks with “spirit” (영), granting extraordinary power and healing capabilities. This explains why invoking the name or viewing the image of a divine person can have profound effects on one’s well-being.

The current global crises, from economic inequality to social unrest, are symptoms of a world that has strayed from divine principles. The time has come for a fundamental transformation, not just of political and economic systems, but of human consciousness itself. This transformation will lead to a society where true happiness, peace, and prosperity are attainable for all.

The Interplay of Capitalism, Democracy, and Human Destiny

  1. The Perils of Unchecked Capitalism and Democracy
    Huh Kyung-young asserts that the current global economic landscape, particularly in Taiwan, faces a downturn due to specific economic policies. He highlights a critical issue where 99% of the world’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of 1% of the population, a phenomenon Karl Marx predicted as the ultimate downfall of capitalism. This extreme concentration of wealth leads to a widening gap where the rich inevitably grow richer, and the poor become increasingly indebted. He argues that this system, often operating under the guise of democracy, is fundamentally flawed. While capitalism is founded on principles such as absolute property rights (소유권 절대 원칙), freedom of contract (계약자유의 원칙), and liability for negligence (과실 책임의 원칙), democracy is built on the pursuit of happiness (행복 추구의 원칙), absolute equality (절대 공평의 원칙), and human dignity (인간 존엄의 원칙). However, Huh Kyung-young contends that capitalism, in its current form, fails to uphold human dignity, as evidenced by the vast majority of people being unable to afford even basic luxuries like overseas travel, while the wealthy few live like emperors.

  2. Historical Parallels and the Rise of the God-man (신인)
    Huh Kyung-young draws a parallel between the current societal crisis and historical events, suggesting that democracy, when left unchecked, can lead to disastrous outcomes. He references the philosophical lineage from Socrates to Alexander the Great, noting that Socrates’ disciple Plato advocated for “philosopher-king rule” (철인주의), viewing democracy as the “politics of fools” (바보들의 정치). This perspective suggests that a system where “fools” vote for “fools” inevitably leads to a tragic end for democracy. Alexander the Great, influenced by this philosophy, abolished democratic systems and established an empire, believing that a single, enlightened ruler could save a nation more effectively than a populace ignorant of governance. Huh Kyung-young posits that just as Alexander rose in a time of crisis, a God-man (신인) like himself emerges when both capitalism and democracy reach their breaking point, characterized by the 1% accumulating 99% of the wealth. This imbalance, he warns, historically culminates in revolutions, much like the French Revolution, where the oppressed majority rises against the privileged few.

  3. The Economic Exodus and National Decline
    Huh Kyung-young criticizes the current political and economic elite, including judges, prosecutors, police, and politicians, for being obsessed with creating more wealth for the already rich. He points out that tax breaks for conglomerates (재벌) lead them to invest overseas rather than domestically, resulting in high unemployment among young Koreans. These conglomerates justify their actions by stating that they invest where profits are highest, regardless of national borders, citing examples like the Kaesong Industrial Complex (개성공단) where labor costs are significantly lower. This outward investment strategy, while profitable for corporations, drains national resources and job opportunities. He highlights how countries like Vietnam actively compete to attract foreign investment by offering incentives such as tax exemptions, free land, relaxed regulations, and cheap labor, even treating corporate executives like royalty. This global competition for capital means that Korean companies, like Samsung, contribute significantly to the economies of other nations, sometimes accounting for a substantial portion of their GDP, while Korea itself suffers from a lack of domestic investment and job creation. Huh Kyung-young argues that this trend signifies a national crisis, necessitating a leader who can implement “middle-class-ism” (중산주의) to encourage domestic investment and stabilize the economy.

  4. Systemic Flaws in Governance and National Symbols
    Huh Kyung-young identifies several systemic issues contributing to Korea’s decline, starting with the legislative branch. He criticizes the National Assembly (국회) for obstructing presidential initiatives, despite the president being elected by the people. He argues that the term “National Assembly member” (국회의원) is unique to Korea and suggests it should be replaced with “Assembly member” (민의원) or “Council member” (의원) as in other countries, implying that the current naming convention contributes to a sense of national misfortune. He also points to the symbolic significance of national elements:

  • The Blue House (청와대): He states that calling the presidential residence “Blue Tile House” (푸른 기와집) is a remnant of Japanese colonial influence, as it was originally the residence of the Japanese Governor-General. He proposes renaming it “Sky Temple” (하늘궁) to reflect a more profound national spirit, embodying the essence of Hwanin (환인) and Hwanung (환웅), or the spirit of Korea (대한민국).
  • The National Anthem (애국가): He criticizes the phrase “East Sea’s waters and Baekdu Mountain, drying and wearing away” (동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록) as a negative prophecy for the nation.
  • Local Autonomy (지자체): He asserts that the system of electing local government heads (지자체 단체장) is a major cause of national ruin. He claims that the excessive spending on local elections and the salaries of local officials drain national resources, which could otherwise be returned to the citizens. He also notes the extravagant size of local government buildings, often larger than the presidential residence, as a sign of misplaced priorities. He contrasts this with Japan, which has fewer local autonomous bodies and did not implement real-name financial transactions (금융실명제), suggesting these factors contribute to Japan’s economic stability.
  1. The Four Revolutions and Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery (사후 성형)
    Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of “four revolutions” (네 가지 혁명) or “four D’s” (네 가지 D) that are shaping the 21st century, which he links to a profound transformation of human existence, including “post-mortem plastic surgery” (사후 성형).
  • Divine Revolution (디바인 혁명): This refers to a spiritual revolution, changing one’s spiritual essence (영성).
  • Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): This involves changing one’s mindset from analog to digital, moving from subjective, closed, and passive thinking to a globally connected and open perspective.
  • Design Revolution (디자인 혁명): This is about changing one’s thoughts and ideas.
  • DNA Revolution (DNA 혁명): This signifies a change in one’s physical appearance, as altering DNA can change one’s face.
    He asserts that for the nation to transform, its symbols like the Blue House must be renamed to reflect a change in DNA. More broadly, the spiritual essence (영성), mindset (정신), thoughts (생각), and even physical appearance (얼굴) of the Korean people must change. He introduces the concept of “post-mortem plastic surgery” (사후 성형), where one can influence their next life’s appearance and circumstances by their actions in this life. For example, aspiring to be a Cinderella or a rich heir in the next life requires acts of charity and service in the present. Similarly, aspiring to be a president necessitates solving people’s problems now. He claims that merely looking at his picture or calling his name can alter one’s spiritual essence (영성) and energy, leading to positive changes like the reduction of diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
  1. The Eight Blessings of Jesus and the Eightfold Path of Buddha
    Huh Kyung-young delves into the spiritual and philosophical teachings of Jesus and Buddha, highlighting their relevance to contemporary society. He notes that both figures presented “eight blessings” (팔복) or an “eightfold path” (팔정도) as the source of true happiness. He specifically references Jesus’s eight blessings from Matthew 5:1-13, asserting that they accurately foresee the ultimate state of capitalism and democracy.
  • Blessed are the poor in spirit (심령이 가난한 자): This blessing, according to Huh Kyung-young, means that those with a humble spirit, free from the anxieties of wealth, find peace. He contrasts this with the wealthy, who often suffer from sleeplessness and worry despite their riches, indicating a “richness of spirit” (심령이 부자) burdened by concerns.
  • Blessed are those who mourn (애통하는 자): This refers to those who lament their inability to use their wealth for good or who regret past wrongdoings. Such individuals, if they strive to help others, will receive comfort from heaven.
  • Blessed are the meek (온유한 자): Huh Kyung-young interprets this economically, stating that those who are patient and do not hastily sell their land will eventually see its value appreciate, becoming wealthy without actively seeking it. Conversely, those who quickly sell their assets for short-term gains often end up bankrupt.
  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (의를 위하여 핍박 받는 자): This blessing promises fulfillment to those who tirelessly spread truth, even if it means personal hardship. He suggests that those who promote his teachings will never go hungry.
  • Blessed are the merciful (긍휼히 여기는 자): Those who show mercy will receive mercy.
  • Blessed are the pure in heart (마음이 깨끗한 자): Such individuals will see God. He implies that those who come to see him (Huh Kyung-young) possess a pure heart.
  • Blessed are the peacemakers (화평한 자): They will be called children of God.
  • Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake (의를 위하여 핍박 받는 자): They will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, implying that martyrs are cared for by heaven.
    He concludes that these ancient teachings accurately predict the trajectory of modern economic and political systems, emphasizing the importance of spiritual wisdom over material pursuits.
  1. The Eight Blessings of Humanity and Korea’s Unique Economic Paradox
    Beyond the religious blessings, Huh Kyung-young introduces the “eight blessings of humanity” (인간의 팔복), which represent various forms of fortune that manifest in human life.
  • Heavenly Authority (천관): Power bestowed by heaven.
  • Heavenly Position (천벼슬): A high office or status granted by heaven.
  • Heavenly Nobility (천귀): Noble status.
  • Heavenly Wealth (천재): Great riches, akin to being a conglomerate (재벌).
  • Heavenly Virtue (천덕): Innate virtue.
  • Heavenly Wisdom (천문): Profound knowledge or literary talent.
  • Heavenly Longevity (천수): A long lifespan.
  • Five Blessings (오복): Traditional blessings including children, parents, and other forms of good fortune.
    He observes that despite these potential blessings, Korea currently exhibits the most pronounced “end-of-days” (말로 현상) symptoms of capitalism and democracy globally. Paradoxically, the world studies Korea’s economic miracle (한강의 기적) as a model. However, Huh Kyung-young warns that if the world adopts such a “doomed” economic model, it faces peril. He proposes “middle-class-ism” (중산주의) as a new system to replace the current capitalist and democratic structures, focusing on equitable distribution (분배) of wealth. Under this system, the state acts as an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a guaranteed minimum income from national investments, thereby eliminating financial insecurity and fostering a society where people can pursue truth and happiness.
  1. The Importance of Right Speech (정명) and Right Livelihood (정업)
    Huh Kyung-young emphasizes the Buddhist concept of the Eightfold Path (팔정도), particularly “right speech” (정명) and “right livelihood” (정업), as crucial for personal and national well-being.
  • Right Speech (정명): He interprets “right speech” as speaking truthfully but also wisely and kindly. He illustrates this with a domestic example: a wife should not immediately complain about a lack of rice to her husband upon waking. Instead, she should greet him cheerfully, then subtly indicate the need for rice by making the sound of an empty rice scoop. This indirect, gentle communication fosters harmony and ensures the husband takes action. Direct, confrontational speech, he argues, drives away blessings and causes conflict. Similarly, if a wife’s appearance is displeasing, the husband should not criticize but rather buy her good cosmetics, expressing care indirectly.
  • Right Livelihood (정업): He defines “livelihood” (업장) as the work one does to sustain oneself, which he equates to “karma” (업). He describes human life as living in a “burning house” (불타는 집), full of daily complexities and potential misfortunes. Therefore, choosing a “right livelihood” means engaging in work that does not create negative karma. He categorizes professions into “arrow” (화살) and “shield” (방패) types.
    • Arrow Professions (화살 직업): These are jobs that “shoot arrows” at others, like police, prosecutors, or even large corporations (재벌) that exploit smaller businesses. These professions often involve accusation, judgment, or aggressive competition, leading to harm.
    • Shield Professions (방패 직업): These are jobs that “shield” or protect others, like lawyers, doctors, or teachers. These professions involve helping and supporting people. He cautions against misinterpreting actions, such as a politician’s comforting gesture, as malicious, emphasizing the need for understanding rather than extreme judgment.
      He asserts that engaging in “arrow-like” actions leads to suffering, citing examples of public figures who faced tragic ends due to misunderstandings or accusations. He also criticizes Korea’s high rate of lawsuits (고소고발), which he sees as a “arrow-like” national characteristic, contrasting it with Japan’s more cohesive society.
  1. The Cosmic Principle of Interconnectedness: Happiness, Misfortune, and the Quark
    Huh Kyung-young introduces a profound cosmic principle: that happiness (행복) and misfortune (불행) are inextricably linked, each containing the seed of the other. He asserts that true wisdom lies in understanding this “middle way” (중도), “neutrality” (중립), “moderation” (중용), or “harmony” (중화), as taught in various philosophies and religions.
  • Interconnectedness of Happiness and Misfortune: He explains that within misfortune lies the seed of happiness, and within happiness, the seed of misfortune. For example, experiencing poverty can make one appreciate wealth more deeply later in life, leading to acts of charity and genuine joy. Conversely, excessive happiness without awareness can lead to complacency and eventual downfall.
  • The Principle of Ilsi Musi Il (일시 무시 일) and Iljong Mujong Il (일종 무종 일): This principle, meaning “one begins without beginning, and one ends without ending,” describes the cyclical nature of existence. He connects this to the scientific concept of a quark, the smallest unit of a subatomic particle.
    • Quark as the Fundamental Unit: A quark is a fundamental particle that has no beginning or end in itself; it is both existent and non-existent, visible and invisible.
    • Energy and Matter: When energy is applied to a quark, it transforms into matter. This implies that matter is essentially energy in a particular state, and without continuous energy input (like food for cells), matter can dissolve back into its fundamental, invisible state.
  • The Role of Spirit (영): He distinguishes between mere energy (에너지) and spirit (영). While energy gives physical strength, spirit, as embodied by him, can protect and heal the fundamental particles (quarks) of the body. He demonstrates this through an “energy test” where his name or image provides immense strength, unlike that of ordinary humans, suggesting a spiritual power that transcends mere physical energy. This spiritual intervention, he claims, can even reduce diseases like cancer.
    He concludes that understanding this cosmic principle of interconnectedness and the fundamental nature of existence is crucial for navigating life’s challenges and achieving true well-being.
  1. The Pitfalls of Blind Leadership and the Importance of Process
    Huh Kyung-young criticizes the current political system, where leaders often rely on “smart” advisors who lack real-world experience, leading to national decline. He argues that a truly capable leader, like a skilled ship captain, needs no multitude of “smart” subordinates.
  • The Folly of Many Advisors: He contends that a president surrounded by numerous “smart” advisors often leads to corruption and national ruin, as these advisors prioritize their own interests or those of conglomerates (재벌). He cites the example of President Park Chung-hee, who, despite opposition from academics, pushed through major projects like the Pohang Iron and Steel Company and expressways, demonstrating the power of a decisive leader with a clear vision.
  • Process over Results: He emphasizes that the process (과정) is more important than the result (결과). If the process is sound, positive results will naturally follow. He criticizes economists who, lacking practical experience, focus solely on manipulating results to please the president, leading to fabricated reports and a distorted economic reality.
  • The Role of the God-man (신인) in Governance: He asserts that a God-man (신인) like himself, with direct insight into truth, cannot be deceived by such manipulations. He claims that his “presidential deputies” (대통령 대리), ordinary citizens who have studied his teachings, provide more valuable insights than traditional ministers or academics. He states that he would only follow his own directives, not the policies proposed by conventional ministers, to prevent the nation from falling into further “rich-get-richer, poor-get-poorer” (부익부 빈익빈) cycles.
  • Reforming National Institutions: He advocates for radical reforms, such as abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (여성부) and the Ministry of Unification (통일부), integrating their functions into other ministries. He argues that focusing on the “process” of improving relations with North Korea, rather than solely on the “result” of unification, is the correct approach. Similarly, he suggests that children should care for their parents out of genuine filial piety (효도), not with the expectation of inheritance, as true blessings come from selfless actions.
    He concludes that the era of “philosopher-king rule” (철인주의), capitalism, and democracy is ending, and his “middle-class-ism” (중산주의) offers the path to salvation for humanity.

What is more important, process or outcome? The process is more important, because a good process automatically leads to a good outcome.

  1. The Failures of Capitalism and Democracy
    The current systems of capitalism and democracy are failing, leading to economic inequality and societal problems.

1.1. Economic Decline and Wealth Concentration

  1. Taiwan’s economy declined after a specific leader took office, who was seen as opposing China.
  2. The speaker criticizes economic policies that concentrate 99% of the world’s wealth in the hands of 1% of the population.
  3. This concentration of wealth means the rich get richer, and the poor fall into debt.
  4. This trend is supported by politicians, which the speaker calls a perversion of democracy.

1.2. Flaws in Capitalist and Democratic Principles

  1. The three main principles of capitalism are:
  2. Absolute right to ownership.
  3. Freedom of contract.
  4. Principle of liability for negligence.
  5. The three main principles of democracy are:
  6. The right to pursue happiness, which allows for compensation if one’s happiness (like sunlight access for a building) is infringed upon.
  7. The principle of absolute fairness, which means people earn according to their effort, leading to a mix of rich and poor.
  8. The principle of human dignity, which capitalism fails to uphold as 99.5% of people cannot afford luxuries like overseas travel, while the wealthy 1% live like emperors.
  9. Powerful groups, like a certain Jewish cult in the U.S., influence politics, even helping presidents like Clinton get elected.
  10. The speaker suggests that those who oppose these groups might face severe consequences.
  11. President Kennedy (referred to as “Cady”) sought world peace, opposed war, and stopped weapon manufacturing.
  12. His vice president, Johnson, who was supported by arms dealers, became president after Kennedy’s assassination.
  13. This suggests that powerful arms dealers orchestrated Kennedy’s death to ensure their interests were protected.
  14. The speaker notes that Korea does not have a vice-presidential system to prevent such power struggles.
  15. In the U.S., presidents choose their running mates carefully because their lives depend on it, but Kennedy chose Johnson for electoral support from arms dealers, despite personally disliking them.

1.3. Economic Exploitation and National Weakness

  1. Capitalism, despite its principles, acts like a drug, leading to continuous interest payments to foreign banks.
  2. Foreign banks own 50% of Korean banks, meaning half of the interest paid by Koreans goes to the U.S.
  3. This effectively makes Korea pay annual “interest” to the U.S., akin to a farmer’s lifetime earnings.
  4. Korean wealth is being spent overseas, with Koreans being the biggest cash spenders globally.
  5. The wealthy 1-3% of Koreans spend their money abroad, contributing to social problems like AIDS.

1.4. Societal Ills: Diabetes and AIDS

  1. Korea’s biggest “wars” are against diabetes and AIDS, not North Korea.
  2. Diabetes is prevalent because many Koreans live idle lives, making Korea number one in diabetes globally.
  3. This is seen as a natural consequence, with the disease affecting future generations for up to eight generations.

1.5. The Consequences of Laziness and Gender Roles

  1. The speaker criticizes men who make their wives do all the housework, stating that such behavior leads to misfortune and the decline of the family line.
  2. This laziness is linked to the prevalence of diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.
  3. Wealthy, idle people are seen as the source of these diseases, but it is the poor who die from them.
  4. The wealthy can afford to be lazy and live, but their descendants will suffer.

1.6. The AIDS Epidemic and Capitalism’s Role

  1. The AIDS epidemic is another major “war” in Korea, exacerbated by people not reporting their infections.

  2. The speaker repeatedly emphasizes that diabetes and AIDS are the most frightening consequences brought about by capitalism.

  3. The Need for a New Political and Economic System
    The current systems of democracy and capitalism are flawed and require a new approach, such as Jung San Ju Ui (Middle-Classism), to address societal problems.

2.1. Critique of Democracy and the Rise of Authoritarianism

  1. The speaker argues that democracy is a “government of fools” because people vote for incompetent leaders.
  2. This leads to a “miserable end” for democracy, as predicted by Karl Marx.
  3. Plato, a student of Socrates, advocated for philosopher-kings (철인주의), believing that only wise individuals should govern.
  4. Aristotle, Plato’s student, leaned towards pragmatism, but Alexander the Great, Aristotle’s student, embraced imperialism.
  5. Alexander abolished democracy and established an empire, believing that uneducated citizens could not choose capable leaders.
  6. Alexander’s vast conquests are seen as a direct implementation of his teacher’s philosophy.
  7. The speaker suggests that a figure like Heo Kyung-young, who is superior to Alexander, has appeared to address the current crisis of capitalism and democracy.
  8. This crisis is characterized by politicians and powerful figures prioritizing wealth accumulation over the welfare of the nation.

2.2. Corporate Greed and the Decline of Domestic Economy

  1. Corporations receive tax cuts but invest overseas instead of in Korea, leading to high youth unemployment.
  2. Corporations justify this by arguing that they should invest where profits are highest, regardless of national borders.
  3. For example, North Korean workers in Kaesong Industrial Complex are paid significantly less than South Korean workers, making overseas investment more attractive.
  4. This outflow of investment means that taxes are paid to foreign countries, further harming the domestic economy.
  5. Samsung’s factories in Vietnam, for instance, contribute significantly to Vietnam’s economy, turning its trade deficit into a surplus.
  6. Asian countries actively compete to attract Korean businesses by offering incentives like tax exemptions, free land, and cheap labor.
  7. This competition leads to Korean youth struggling to find jobs and support their parents, as companies prioritize foreign investment.
  8. The speaker criticizes the current government for allowing this trend, leading to a national economic crisis.
  9. He argues for a leader who can implement Jung San Ju Ui (Middle-Classism) to encourage corporations to invest domestically and adjust labor costs.

2.3. Critiques of Korean Political System and National Symbols

  1. The speaker criticizes the Korean political system, where the National Assembly (Parliament) obstructs the President’s initiatives.
  2. He argues that while the President represents the people, National Assembly members are “crazy people” in the Korean context, unlike in the U.S. where the legislature is called “Congress.”
  3. Korea is unique in using the character “국” (guk, meaning nation) for National Assembly members, which the speaker sees as a sign of national misfortune.
  4. He suggests changing the name of the National Assembly to “Minuiwon” (House of Representatives) to reflect the will of the people, as it was called in the past.
  5. The speaker also criticizes the name of the presidential residence, Cheong Wa Dae (Blue House), which he claims was named by the Japanese during colonial rule.
  6. He proposes renaming it to “Hwanung-gung” or “Han-gung” to embody the spirit of the Korean people.
  7. The national anthem, with its lyrics “East Sea waters and Baekdu Mountain dry up and wear away,” is also seen as a symbol of national decline.
  8. The speaker identifies several reasons for Korea’s misfortune:
  9. The name of the presidential residence.
  10. The national anthem’s lyrics.
  11. The National Assembly’s obstruction.

2.4. The Four Revolutions and Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery

  1. The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, all starting with “D”:
  2. Divine Revolution (영성 혁명): Changing one’s spiritual essence.
  3. Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): Changing one’s way of thinking from analog (subjective, closed, passive) to digital (globally connected).
  4. Design Revolution (디자인 혁명): Changing one’s thoughts.
  5. DNA Revolution (DNA 혁명): Changing one’s physical appearance.
  6. These four revolutions are interconnected, meaning that changing the name of Cheong Wa Dae to “Haneul-gung” (Heavenly Palace) would change the nation’s DNA.
  7. This would lead to changes in the people’s spirituality, mindset, thoughts, and ultimately, their appearance.
  8. The speaker introduces the concept of “post-mortem plastic surgery,” where one can influence their appearance in the next life by changing their spiritual essence, mindset, thoughts, and actions in this life.
  9. For example, if one wants to be born as a Cinderella or a rich person in the next life, they must give generously and serve others in this life.
  10. If one wants to be a president, they must solve people’s problems.
  11. The speaker claims that simply looking at his picture or calling his name can change one’s spirituality and energy.
  12. He suggests that those who listen to his lectures and desire justice will be chosen to assist him when he becomes president.

2.5. The Problem of Local Autonomy and National Decline

  1. The speaker reiterates that the National Assembly’s use of the character “국” (guk) is a problem, and it should be called “Minuiwon” (House of Representatives) like in the U.S.

  2. He also argues that local government heads and council members should be abolished.

  3. The cost of local elections and salaries for these officials amounts to trillions of won annually, which he believes should be returned to the public.

  4. Local government buildings are often larger than the presidential residence, which the speaker finds absurd and a sign of national decline.

  5. He compares this to China, which has a much larger land area but smaller city halls.

  6. The speaker concludes that local autonomy is destroying the nation.

  7. He points out that Japan, which has less local autonomy and did not implement real-name financial transactions, is thriving.

  8. The Wisdom of Ancient Teachings and the Path to True Happiness
    Ancient philosophies and religious teachings offer profound insights into human happiness and societal well-being, emphasizing the importance of inner state and balanced perspectives.

3.1. Post-Mortem Transformation and Marital Harmony

  1. The speaker emphasizes that to change one’s future self through “post-mortem plastic surgery,” one must first change the current systems of capitalism and democracy.
  2. He links national economic health and individual happiness to marital harmony, noting that financial issues are a major cause of marital conflict today.

3.2. Jesus’ Eight Beatitudes and the Nature of Wealth

  1. The speaker compares the teachings of Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha, noting that Jesus’s Eight Beatitudes (팔복) accurately foresaw the current state of capitalism and democracy.
  2. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
  3. Capitalism has corrupted people’s spirits, making the wealthy unable to sleep due to worries about their assets.
  4. In contrast, the poor sleep peacefully, undisturbed by potential disasters.
  5. The wealthy constantly fear losing their assets, whether from fire or external threats like missiles.
  6. This fear and anxiety prevent the rich from truly resting, highlighting that wealth brings spiritual poverty.
  7. Therefore, only those who are “poor in spirit” can enter heaven.
  8. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
  9. This refers to those who reflect on their actions, regret not doing enough for the less fortunate, and strive to do good, like a CEO sharing profits with employees.
  10. Such individuals will receive comfort from heaven.
  11. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”
  12. This aligns with economic policy: those who patiently hold onto land without speculating will find its value increasing significantly over decades.
  13. In contrast, those who hastily sell their land for quick profits often end up losing everything.
  14. This means that those who are patient and gentle will ultimately prosper.

3.3. Buddha’s Eightfold Path and the Importance of Right Speech and Livelihood

  1. The speaker connects Jesus’s teachings to Buddha’s Eightfold Path (팔정도), which also outlines eight principles for a blessed life.
  2. Right Speech (정명):
  3. Speaking truthfully and kindly is crucial for harmony.
  4. For example, a wife should greet her husband cheerfully before subtly indicating household needs, rather than complaining directly.
  5. Direct complaints or negative remarks can drive away good fortune and create conflict.
  6. Indirect, thoughtful communication, like buying a wife good cosmetics, fosters peace and attracts blessings.
  7. Right Livelihood (정업):
  8. One’s profession (업장) is how they earn a living, and it should be chosen carefully to avoid accumulating negative karma.
  9. The speaker categorizes professions into “arrow” (화살) and “shield” (방패) types.
  10. Arrow professions (화살 직업) are those that “shoot arrows” at others, like police, prosecutors, or large corporations that exploit smaller businesses.
  11. Shield professions (방패 직업) are those that protect and help others, like lawyers, doctors, or teachers.
  12. He criticizes the tendency to excessively condemn public figures (like a National Assembly speaker touching a golf caddy) for minor actions, especially when they are in “shield” professions that involve frequent physical interaction.
  13. Such extreme reactions can lead to negative consequences like panic disorder (공황 장애) for those who are targeted.

3.4. The Dangers of “Arrow” Behavior and the Importance of Compassion

  1. The speaker warns against the dangers of “arrow-like” behavior, which can lead to the downfall of individuals.
  2. He shares anecdotes about Michael Jackson and former President Roh Moo-hyun visiting him shortly before their deaths, claiming they sought his help due to being wronged by others’ “arrow-like” actions.
  3. Michael Jackson felt unfairly accused of sexual assault by a child’s father seeking money, which shattered his dream of promoting world peace through music.
  4. Roh Moo-hyun felt unjustly targeted by investigations and accusations of corruption.
  5. The speaker claims to have predicted their deaths and attributes them to the negative energy of those who “shoot arrows.”
  6. He criticizes the litigious nature of Korean society, where people frequently sue each other, unlike in Japan where people are more protective of their own.
  7. This “arrow-like” national character has led to Korea having the highest rate of lawsuits in the world.
  8. In contrast, the Japanese, with their “shield-like” character, prioritize national unity and technological advancement.

3.5. Heo Kyung-young’s Vision for Global Unity and Spiritual Power

  1. The speaker asserts that he has come to Korea, a small nation surrounded by powerful countries like Russia, China, and Japan, to bring about global unity.
  2. He claims to possess spiritual power that can influence world leaders, even causing their demise if they resist his vision for global peace.
  3. He states that he will become the President of Korea and then command world leaders to cooperate, using his spiritual power to remove those who refuse.
  4. He claims that unlike past spiritual leaders like Jesus or Buddha, his power is directly verifiable, and those who disrespect him face negative consequences.
  5. He believes his teachings, recorded on YouTube, will serve as eternal guidance for humanity, unlike ancient scriptures whose origins are less clear.

3.6. The Importance of “Right Mindfulness” and “Right Contemplation”

  1. Right Mindfulness (정념): Maintaining a correct mindset is essential for “post-mortem plastic surgery.”
  2. The speaker criticizes the current capitalist system where 1% of the world’s population controls the wealth, leading to conflict and exploitation of the remaining 99%.
  3. He argues that the true owners of wealth are the people, but they have become subservient to the wealthy elite.
  4. Right Contemplation (정사유): Cultivating correct thoughts and ideologies.
  5. He mentions various philosophies like Socrates’ philosopher-king, Confucius’s benevolence, Laozi’s naturalism, and different political ideologies (capitalism, democracy, communism).
  6. He also refers to Korean philosophies like Yulgok’s dualism and the traditional Korean “Gyeongcheon-aein” (respect heaven, love people) and “Hyochin” (filial piety) ideologies.
  7. He contrasts Mencius’s belief in the inherent goodness of human nature (성선설) with Xunzi’s belief in inherent evil (성악설).
  8. He then categorizes major religions by their core philosophical concepts: Christianity as “neutralism” (중립 사상), Buddhism as “middle way” (중도 사상), Confucianism as “golden mean” (중용 사상), and Taoism as “harmony” (중화 사상).

3.7. The Interconnectedness of Happiness and Misfortune

  1. The speaker explains that all these philosophies share a common theme of “middle” or “balance” (중).
  2. He asserts that misfortune contains the seeds of happiness, and happiness contains the seeds of misfortune.
  3. Those who understand this “middle way” are neither purely happy nor purely unhappy.
  4. Past hardships can lead to future joy, as seen in the example of someone who experienced poverty appreciating wealth more and using it to help others.
  5. This perspective allows one to find happiness in helping those who shared their past struggles.
  6. He emphasizes that true happiness is not merely accumulating wealth but finding meaning in life through helping others.
  7. Therefore, one should not become arrogant when happy, as misfortune can always follow.
  8. This concept is reflected in the phrase “Il-si-mu-si-il, Il-jong-mu-jong-il” (Beginning without beginning, end without end), which represents the cyclical nature of existence and the “middle way.”

3.8. The Quantum Nature of Reality and Spiritual Energy

  1. The speaker connects the concept of “Il-si-mu-si-il, Il-jong-mu-jong-il” to quarks, the smallest particles, which are both existent and non-existent.
  2. When energy is applied to quarks, they become matter.
  3. Similarly, human cells are like quarks; they have energy from food, but without continuous nourishment, they decay.
  4. After death, the body’s cells disperse into the universe, becoming invisible yet still existing as “spirit” (영혼).
  5. He demonstrates his spiritual power by showing that calling his name or looking at his picture prevents a person from falling over during an energy test, unlike with other names or pictures.
  6. This indicates that his “spirit” (영) enters the person, protecting their quarks and even reducing diseases like cancer.
  7. He also discusses the body’s meridians (경락) and acupoints (경혈), noting that humans were originally meant to live for 365 years but their lifespan shortened to 120 years after they started cooking food.
  8. He claims to live for 362 years, a number related to the number of habitable planets in the universe.
  9. He reiterates that understanding the “middle way” allows one to see happiness and misfortune as two sides of the same coin, leading to inner peace and avoiding conflict.

3.9. The Symbolism of the Taegeukgi and Gender Dynamics

  1. The speaker analyzes the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) design, specifically the trigrams (괘), to illustrate gender dynamics.
  2. He describes certain trigrams as representing women who are outwardly feminine but inwardly masculine, or vice versa, suggesting that such imbalances can lead to unhappy marriages or inability to have children.
  3. He also touches upon homosexuality, suggesting that it stems from an internal gender imbalance.
  4. He emphasizes that understanding the universal law of interconnectedness, where misfortune and happiness are intertwined, prevents tragedy and fosters peace.
  5. Just as poverty can lead to spiritual wealth, a “poor in spirit” person can achieve heaven.

3.10. The Importance of a Capable Leader and the Flaws of the Current System

  1. The speaker argues that a nation thrives with a single, intelligent leader, not with many smart advisors.
  2. He cites President Park Chung-hee as an example of a strong leader who pushed through projects despite opposition from experts.
  3. He claims that too many smart advisors can lead to corruption and indecisiveness, ultimately harming the nation.
  4. He criticizes the current system where presidents rely on reports from subordinates, leading to national decline.
  5. He asserts that when he becomes president, he will not be swayed by such reports but will issue direct commands.
  6. He criticizes economists who lack practical experience but influence national economic policy, leading to wealth disparity.
  7. He proposes taking control of the Bank of Korea from the government and giving it to the private sector to prevent national ruin.
  8. He also points out the excessive number of unnecessary government employees and the high salaries of public officials, which contribute to national decline.
  9. He emphasizes that the process is more important than the result in governance.
  10. He criticizes economists for focusing solely on results and manipulating data to please the president.
  11. He claims that he cannot be deceived and will rely on reports from his “presidential delegates” (his followers) who understand truth, rather than corrupt officials.
  12. These delegates, though not necessarily from elite universities, are “happy people” who will provide accurate information.
  13. He believes that a single, intelligent president like himself can effectively govern without being misled by self-serving advisors.

3.11. The Eight Blessings of Humanity and the Abolition of Ministries

  1. The speaker lists the “Eight Blessings of Humanity” (인간의 팔복): heavenly authority, noble status, wealth, literary talent, longevity, and five types of blessings (children, parents, etc.).
  2. He claims to embody these blessings, citing his successful books and songs, and his high TV ratings.
  3. He advocates for the abolition of ministries like the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification, as well as prisons.
  4. He argues that the Ministry of Unification, for example, is counterproductive, just as creating a “marriage ministry” would scare away potential partners.
  5. He believes that unification, like marriage, should be a natural outcome of improving relationships, not a forced goal.
  6. He also criticizes children who prioritize inheritance over filial piety, stating that such behavior leads to misfortune.
  7. He concludes by stating that the era of capitalism and democracy is ending, and his “Middle-Classism” (Jung San Ju Ui) will save humanity.

What is more important, process or outcome? Focusing on the right process automatically leads to good outcomes, while only pursuing results can lead to manipulation and societal problems.

  • Capitalism and Democracy are failing, leading to problems like wealth inequality where 1% of the world controls 99% of the money .

Is the Process or the Result More Important?
The speaker argues that the process is more important than the result because a correct process naturally leads to good results, while focusing only on results can lead to manipulation and societal problems.

The Downfall of Capitalism and Democracy

  • The speaker criticizes the current state of capitalism and democracy, claiming that they are failing.
  • He states that 99% of the world’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of 1% of the population.

    • Absolute ownership rights
    • Freedom of contract
    • Liability for fault

    • The right to pursue happiness
    • The principle of absolute fairness (though the speaker reinterprets this as rewarding hard work, not strict equality)

    • Kennedy chose Johnson to gain support from the weapons industry, even though he disliked them.

Economic Issues in Korea

  • Foreign Influence on Korean Banks: Foreign banks own 50% of Korean banks, meaning half of the interest paid by Koreans goes to the U.S.
  • Korean Spending Habits:
    • Koreans spend a lot of money on overseas travel and luxury goods, often funded by loans.
    • Korean rich people (the top 1-3%) spend their money abroad, leading to social problems like AIDS.
  • Unemployment: Young Koreans struggle to find jobs because companies invest overseas.

Social Problems Caused by Economic Imbalance

  • Diseases: The speaker links economic issues to widespread diseases like diabetes and AIDS.
    • Korea has the highest rate of diabetes globally, which he attributes to people living idle lives.
    • He believes that those who live lazily and eat excessively will suffer consequences for generations.

Critiques of Current Political System

  • Presidential Power: The speaker criticizes the National Assembly for hindering the president’s efforts, even though the president is chosen by the people.
  • National Assembly (Gukhoe):
    • He argues that the term “Gukhoe” (National Assembly) is problematic and unique to Korea, suggesting it implies a national downfall.
    • He proposes changing the name to “Uihwe” (Assembly) or “Minuiwon” (House of Representatives), similar to the U.S. system.
    • He also suggests that the term “Gukhoe Uiwon” (National Assembly Member) should not include “Guk” (nation).
  • Local Governments (Jijache):
    • He blames local governments for national decline, citing their excessive spending and large buildings.
    • He claims that local government buildings are often larger than the Blue House (Cheongwadae) or the central government complex.
    • He advocates for abolishing local government heads and council members, as their salaries and election costs are a drain on the national budget.
    • He points out that Japan has fewer local governments and did not implement real-name financial transactions, which he believes helped them survive.

Symbolic Issues

  • The Blue House (Cheongwadae):
    • The speaker criticizes the name “Cheongwadae” (Blue House), stating it was named by the Japanese and represents a lack of national spirit.
    • He suggests renaming it “Haneul Gung” (Heavenly Palace) to reflect the spirit of Hwanin and Hwanung (mythological Korean figures) or the spirit of Korea.
  • The National Anthem (Aegukga): He also criticizes the lyrics of the national anthem, specifically the phrase “until the East Sea’s waters and Baekdu Mountain wear away,” claiming it implies national ruin.

The Four Revolutions (4Ds)

  1. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

  • Conversely, those who quickly sell their inherited land often end up losing their wealth.
  1. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

This excerpt is from a lecture by Heo Kyung-young, a South Korean politician and spiritual leader, titled “Is the Process Important or the Result Important?”. In this lecture, Heo Kyung-young critiques the current state of capitalism and democracy, arguing that they lead to societal imbalance and unhappiness. He proposes his own ideology, “Jung San Ju Ui” (Middle-Classism), as a solution to these problems. He also touches upon various philosophical and religious concepts, connecting them to his worldview and political agenda.

Critique of Capitalism and Democracy

The Flaws of Modern Economic Systems
Heo Kyung-young argues that modern capitalism, despite its principles of private ownership and contractual freedom, has become a “drug” that concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, leading to widespread debt and inequality. He believes that this extreme wealth disparity, where 1% controls 99% of the world’s money, is a dangerous path that will inevitably lead to social unrest, much like the French Revolution. He also criticizes how democracy, when combined with such capitalism, becomes a “fool’s politics” where the populace elects incompetent leaders, further exacerbating societal problems.

옛날에 할 맑스가 뭐라 그랬습니까? 자본주의적인 1매 뺑이 마 가면 끝장이야. 조금 더 있으면 은 99.0 어부를 가져가게 돼요. 전 세계도 4. 왜냐하면 부자의 돈은 계속 늘어날 수밖에 없어. 없는 사람 계속 비치게 돼 있어요.
What did Karl Marx say in the past? He said that if capitalism goes one step further, it’s over. Soon, 99.0% of the world’s money will go to 1%. Because the rich will inevitably get richer, and the poor will continue to be in debt.

민주 제도는 바보들의 정치다. 바보들이 뭐 해 가지고 투표해 가지고 바보를 뽑지. 바보들이 투표해서 좋은 사람 뽑냐? 그러니까 민주주의의 말로는 비참하다.
Democracy is the politics of fools. Fools vote and elect fools. Do fools elect good people? So, the end of democracy is miserable.

The Perils of Unchecked Corporate Power
Heo Kyung-young highlights how large corporations and the wealthy elite manipulate political systems for their own gain, often at the expense of the nation and its citizens. He points out that tax breaks for conglomerates often lead to them investing overseas rather than domestically, causing unemployment and economic stagnation at home. This unchecked power, he argues, turns politicians and legal systems into tools for the rich, creating a vicious cycle of inequality.

재벌들이 솔깃하네. 아, 야, 세금 안 받겠다. 땅 공짜를 주겠다. 어, 건축 허가 다 내주겠다. 뭐 인건 싸게 해주겠다. 대만 하도록 보장해 주겠다. 맞아, 맞아요. 공짜를 주는 게 한두 가지가 아니야.
The conglomerates are tempted. “Oh, we won’t collect taxes. We’ll give you land for free. We’ll grant all building permits. We’ll provide cheap labor. We’ll guarantee everything.” Right? It’s not just one or two things they give for free.

재벌들 그래요, 그래요, 그래요. 누구 말이야. 뭐, 뭐 재벌한테서 오래 생각하지 마로. 돈대동 가지고 내가 마음대로 투자하지. 으, 돈 잘 벌리는 데다 투자하지.
Conglomerates say, “Yes, yes, yes. Whose words are those? Don’t think too long about conglomerates. I’ll invest my money wherever I want. I’ll invest where I can make good money.”

The Crisis of Korean Society
Heo Kyung-young asserts that South Korea is facing a severe crisis, not from external threats like North Korea, but from internal issues like diabetes and AIDS, which he links to the country’s economic and social structure. He criticizes the “lazy” lifestyle of many Koreans and the high incidence of diabetes as a sign of societal decay. He also points out that the country’s political system, with its powerful National Assembly and local governments, is inefficient and wasteful, draining national resources.

우리는 지금 제일 우리나라 마, 뭐 와 전쟁을 하냐? 북한과 전쟁하는 게 아니에요. 첫 번째 전자의 뭐죠? 당뇨병, 에이지, 어, 이런 거 하고 전쟁하고 있는 거야. 당뇨병은 그만큼 돈으로 먹는 사람이 많다. 맞아, 맞아요. 놀고 먹는 사람이 세계에서 제일 많은 민족 대한민국. 당뇨 펜 세계 1위 역.
What is the biggest war our country is fighting right now? It’s not a war with North Korea. What’s the first war? Diabetes, AIDS, we’re fighting these. Diabetes means there are many people who eat with money. Right? The Korean people are the laziest people in the world. We are number one in diabetes.

우리나라 국회의원보다 월급 많아요. 망조가 고위 하는 천국이에요, 여기가. 알겠습니까?
They earn more than our National Assembly members. This place is a paradise for ruin. Do you understand?

Heo Kyung-young’s Solutions and Philosophy

The Four Revolutions and Afterlife Plastic Surgery
Heo Kyung-young introduces the concept of “four revolutions” (Divine, Digital, Design, DNA) as a path to societal transformation. He believes that by changing our spirituality (Divine), thoughts (Digital), environment (Design), and even our physical bodies (DNA), we can achieve a better future. He even proposes “afterlife plastic surgery,” where one can choose their next life’s appearance and circumstances by living a virtuous life now, emphasizing the importance of contributing to society.

여러분들이 다음 세상에 태어날 걸 지금 성형하면 되는 거야. 그래, 그래요. 야, 내가 금년에는 이번에는 내가 이렇게 얼굴이 태어났지만, 다음 세상에 내가 신데렐라로 태어날 거야.
You can get plastic surgery now for how you’ll be born in the next life. Yes, that’s right. “Hey, this year, I was born with this face, but in the next life, I’ll be born as Cinderella.”

내가 내 얼굴을 지금 바꿀 수가 있어. 어, 그래. 사후 성형을 해야 돼. 사후 성형을 하려면 요걸 해야 되는 거야. 먼저 영상을 바꿔야. 또 디지털 정신을 바꿔야 돼. 그 다음에 생각을 바꾸고 얼굴을 바꾸면. 몸이 바뀌어요.
I can change my face now. Oh, yes. I need to do afterlife plastic surgery. To do afterlife plastic surgery, I need to do this: first, change my spiritual vision. Then, change my digital mindset. After that, if I change my thoughts and face, my body will change.

The Importance of a Strong Leader
Heo Kyung-young advocates for a strong, intelligent leader who can guide the nation without being swayed by incompetent advisors. He uses historical examples like Alexander the Great and Park Chung-hee to illustrate his point that a truly capable leader doesn’t need “smart” subordinates who might undermine their vision. He believes that a leader with a clear vision and the courage to implement it, even against opposition, is crucial for national prosperity.

똑똑한 대통령 한 사람만 있으면 되는 거야. 거기에 똑똑한 신하들이 있다? 다 해먹어. 다 해보고 대통령 중간에 끼고 다 해먹어요.
All you need is one smart president. If there are smart subordinates there? They’ll take everything. They’ll try everything and take everything, with the president in the middle.

대통령이 진짜 실력자가 들어오면 그 나라는 살아요. 이 각료가 그런 사람이 고 박정희 대통령이 그런 사람이었어요. 박정희 대통령 밑에 똑똑한 사람 필요가 있어? 없어요.
If a truly capable person becomes president, that country will thrive. This cabinet member was such a person, and President Park Chung-hee was such a person. Did President Park Chung-hee need smart people under him? No.

Process Over Results
Heo Kyung-young emphasizes that the process is more important than the result. He criticizes economists and politicians who focus solely on short-term results, often resorting to manipulation and deception. He believes that if the process is righteous and well-managed, positive results will naturally follow. This philosophy extends to personal relationships and national unification, where building good relationships and focusing on the journey are paramount.

국가가, 국가가 하는 과정이, 우리가 가는 과정이 과정이 중요해요, 결과가 중요해요? 예. 으 예. 아, 이 과정이 중요하다. 대박. 요정 말씀대로 과정, 이 과정이 중요하면 결과는 자동으로 좋아져요.
The process that the state undertakes, the process we go through—is the process important, or the result? Yes. Oh, yes. Ah, the process is important. Jackpot. As you said, if the process is important, the results will automatically improve.

결혼을 목적이 되면 돼, 안 돼? 안 되는 거예요. 인간을 먼저 알아봐야 되잖아. 새기다 보면 저 될 거야. 북한도 그래. 우리가 사이가 좋아지면 서서히. 그게 통일은 나중 문제야. 과정이 중요.
Should marriage be the goal? No, it shouldn’t. You have to get to know the person first. As you get to know them, it will happen. It’s the same with North Korea. If our relationship improves, slowly. Unification is a later issue. The process is important.

Central Questions & Answers

  1. What is the fundamental problem with modern Capitalism and Democracy, according to Huh Kyung-young?
    Question: What are the core issues and ultimate downfall of current capitalist and democratic systems, and how do they impact society and individuals?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young argues that modern capitalism and democracy, despite their initial principles, have led to a severe imbalance where 1% of the population controls 99% of the world’s wealth. This extreme concentration of wealth creates widespread unhappiness and societal instability, ultimately leading to a “tragic end” similar to historical revolutions like the French Revolution. He states that these systems, when unchecked, foster a spiritual poverty even among the wealthy, who live in constant anxiety despite their riches.
    Key Quote: “This capitalism, as Karl Marx predicted, is at its end. When 1% takes 99% of the world’s money, what happens later? The French Revolution happens.”

  2. How does Huh Kyung-young propose to solve the economic and social crises caused by current systems?
    Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s proposed solution to the economic inequality and societal problems arising from the failures of capitalism and democracy?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young introduces Jung San Ju Ui (Middle-Class-ism) as a new system designed to replace the flawed aspects of capitalism and democracy. This ideology aims to transform 90% of the population into the middle class through a fair distribution of wealth. He envisions a state that acts as an investment vehicle, providing citizens with a stable income (e.g., 1% of 1.3 billion won annually) and eliminating financial anxieties. This system would encourage domestic investment by corporations and ensure that national wealth benefits all citizens, not just a select few.
    Key Quote: “Jung San Ju Ui is a new system to make 90% of you middle class. The state becomes your investment vehicle, giving you dividends.”

  3. What are the “Four Revolutions (4Ds)” that Huh Kyung-young emphasizes for humanity’s transformation?
    Question: What are the four key revolutions or transformations that Huh Kyung-young believes are essential for human progress and societal change in the 21st century?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young outlines four crucial “D” revolutions for the 21st century:
    Divine Revolution (영성 혁명): Changing one’s spiritual essence.
    Digital Revolution (디지털 혁명): Shifting from analog, subjective, and passive thinking to a global, interconnected digital mindset.
    Design Revolution (디자인 혁명): Changing one’s thoughts through design.
    DNA Revolution (DNA 혁명): Ultimately leading to a change in one’s physical appearance and destiny, even allowing for “post-mortem plastic surgery” for future lives.
    Key Quote: “The 21st century has four revolutions: Divine, Digital, Design, and DNA. Changing your DNA means changing your face.”

  4. What is the significance of “Middle Way (Jung Do)” in Eastern philosophies and Huh Kyung-young’s teachings?
    Question: How does the concept of “Middle Way” (중도) from Eastern philosophy relate to understanding happiness and suffering, and what is its importance in Huh Kyung-young’s worldview?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young explains that philosophies like Buddhism’s Jung Do (Middle Way), Christianity’s Jung Rip (Neutrality), Confucianism’s Jung Yong (Doctrine of the Mean), and Taoism’s Jung Hwa (Harmony) all point to the same truth: happiness and unhappiness are two sides of the same coin. Understanding this allows one to see both as interconnected, preventing extreme reactions to either. For example, past hardships become the seeds of future joy. Embracing this perspective eliminates conflict and fosters inner peace.
    Key Quote: “In unhappiness, there is a seed of happiness. In happiness, there is always unhappiness. Those who understand the Middle Way do not become overly happy or unhappy.”

  5. What is Huh Kyung-young’s view on leadership and governance, particularly regarding advisors and the role of the President?
    Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s perspective on effective national leadership, the role of advisors, and the qualities necessary for a President to govern successfully?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young asserts that a nation thrives with one truly capable leader, rather than many “smart” advisors. He criticizes the current system where presidents are swayed by ministers and academics who lack real-world experience and often prioritize personal gain or corporate interests, leading to policies that exacerbate wealth inequality. He believes that a President with genuine insight and strong convictions, like Park Chung-hee, should make decisive decisions and direct subordinates, rather than being directed by them. His own leadership style would involve listening to the “Presidential Deputies” (ordinary citizens who study his truth) rather than conventional elites.
    Key Quote: “If the President is truly capable, that nation will live. Under such a President, smart people are not needed.”

  6. What are the three major “curses” or problems that have led to Korea’s decline, according to Huh Kyung-young?
    Question: What specific national symbols, institutions, or practices does Huh Kyung-young identify as detrimental to Korea’s prosperity and spiritual well-being?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young identifies three key issues contributing to Korea’s problems:
    The name “Cheong Wa Dae” (Blue House): He argues that calling the presidential residence “Blue House” (푸른 기와집) is a remnant of Japanese colonial influence and lacks a true Korean spirit. He proposes renaming it “Haneul Gung (Sky Temple)” to reflect the spirit of Hwanin and Hwanung, embodying the Korean national identity.
    The national anthem’s lyrics: The phrase “until the East Sea’s waters dry up and Baekdu Mountain wears away” (동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록) is seen as a negative, self-defeating prophecy that curses the nation.
    The National Assembly (국회): He criticizes the term “National Assembly” and its members (“National Assemblymen”), suggesting it implies a fragmented authority. He advocates for a system like the American “Congress” or “House of Representatives” (민의원) to emphasize representation of the people’s will, not a separate “nation’s assembly.” He also calls for the abolition of local autonomous governments (지자체) due to their excessive spending and corruption.
    Key Quote: “Our country is ruined because of the name ‘Cheong Wa Dae,’ the national anthem, and the National Assembly.”

  7. What is the concept of “Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery” (사후 성형) in Huh Kyung-young’s philosophy?
    Question: How does Huh Kyung-young explain the idea of “Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery” and its connection to one’s actions and spiritual transformation in this life?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young introduces “Post-Mortem Plastic Surgery” as the ability to shape one’s appearance and destiny in the next life through actions and spiritual changes in the current one. He explains that by changing one’s spiritual essence (Divine Revolution), thoughts (Digital/Design Revolutions), and ultimately DNA, one can influence how they are reborn. For example, performing good deeds and helping others can lead to being reborn as a “Cinderella” or a wealthy individual. This concept emphasizes that one’s current life choices have profound implications for future existences.
    Key Quote: “You can change your face now for your next life. If you want to be reborn as Cinderella, you must give a lot to others and serve them.”

  8. How does Huh Kyung-young explain the power of his name and image in relation to human energy and the universe?
    Question: What unique power does Huh Kyung-young claim his name and image possess, and how does this relate to human cells, energy, and spiritual well-being?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young states that merely looking at his picture or calling his name can change one’s spiritual energy (영성) and physical body. He demonstrates this through an “energy test” where individuals holding his photo exhibit increased strength and stability compared to holding photos of other prominent figures. He explains that while human cells (quarks) contain energy from food, his presence infuses them with “spirit” (영), which protects against ailments like cancer and enhances overall well-being. This power is presented as a unique, divine attribute.
    Key Quote: “When you look at Huh Kyung-young’s picture or call his name, your spiritual energy changes. If you have cancer, calling my name will make it shrink.”

  9. What is the meaning of “Right Speech” (정명) in the context of personal relationships and family harmony?
    Question: How does Huh Kyung-young interpret “Right Speech” (정명) from Buddhist teachings, and what practical advice does he offer for maintaining harmony in marriage and family life?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young reinterprets “Right Speech” (정명) as not just speaking truthfully, but speaking wisely and considerately to maintain harmony, especially in marriage. He advises against direct, confrontational communication about problems (e.g., complaining about lack of rice) and instead suggests indirect, positive approaches. For instance, a wife should greet her husband cheerfully before subtly indicating a need, allowing the husband to respond proactively. Direct complaints, he argues, drive away good fortune and create conflict.
    Key Quote: “If a wife speaks ‘right words’ to her husband, there will be no anger. But if she complains directly, the household will be ruined.”

  10. What is Huh Kyung-young’s perspective on the concept of “karma” and different types of professions?
    Question: How does Huh Kyung-young categorize professions based on their karmic impact, and what does he mean by “arrow professions” versus “shield professions”?
    Answer: Huh Kyung-young explains that professions (직업) are essentially “karma” (업장) that people choose. He categorizes them into two types:
    Arrow Professions (화살 직업): These are jobs that involve attacking, exploiting, or causing harm to others, such as prosecutors, police officers, or large corporations that crush small businesses. These professions accumulate negative karma.
    Shield Professions (방패 직업): These are jobs that involve protecting, helping, or healing others, such as lawyers (defending clients), doctors, or teachers. These professions accumulate positive karma.
    He emphasizes that choosing a “shield profession” leads to a more virtuous path.
    Key Quote: “Arrow professions are those that shoot arrows at others, like prosecutors or large corporations. Shield professions are those that protect others, like lawyers or teachers.”

The speaker connects the concept of “middle way” (중도) from various philosophies (Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism) to the understanding of happiness and misfortune. How does understanding the “middle way” change one’s perception of these two states?

(Understanding the “middle way” means recognizing that happiness contains the seeds of misfortune, and misfortune contains the seeds of happiness. This perspective allows one to view both states as interconnected and part of a larger cycle, preventing extreme reactions to either and fostering inner peace. It means not seeing misfortune as purely negative, but as a potential source of future happiness.)

Conversely, a man who is outwardly masculine but inwardly feminine (kind-hearted) might be seen as problematic. He suggests that ideal compatibility involves a balance where external and internal qualities align in a harmonious way, implying that imbalances lead to marital discord.)

  • Speaker’s Answer: The process is important. If the process is good, the result will automatically be good.
  1. Conclusion & Strategic / Philosophical Implications
    The lecture concludes that the current systems of capitalism and democracy are nearing their end, and Huh Kyung-young’s “Middle-Class-ism” is the solution to save humanity. The philosophical implication is a call for a fundamental shift in societal structure and individual consciousness, moving away from material greed and flawed political systems towards a divinely guided, equitable, and spiritually aware society. This new system, led by a “God-man,” promises to bring true happiness and stability by prioritizing the process of righteous living and fair distribution over the mere pursuit of results and wealth accumulation.

  1. Content Gaps & Unaddressed Areas
  • Specifics of “Middle-Class-ism”: While “Middle-Class-ism” is presented as the solution, the transcript lacks concrete details on how this system would be implemented, its economic mechanisms, or how it would fundamentally differ in practice from existing systems beyond equitable distribution.
  • Evidence for Historical Claims: Many historical claims, such as the reasons for the Taiwanese economy’s decline, Kennedy’s assassination, or the specific influence of Jewish groups on US presidents, are presented as facts without supporting evidence or widely accepted historical consensus.

Executive Insight
This lecture presents a radical critique of contemporary capitalism and democracy, asserting their imminent failure due to inherent flaws like extreme wealth disparity and political inefficiency. Huh Kyung-young positions himself as a “God-man” offering “Middle-Class-ism” as a divinely inspired alternative, promising equitable wealth distribution and national stability. The core takeaway is a call for a fundamental paradigm shift, emphasizing the importance of a righteous “process” over mere “results,” and advocating for a leadership model centered on a single, enlightened individual rather than a complex, often corrupt, bureaucratic system. This vision, while lacking detailed implementation plans, challenges conventional governance and economic thought, urging a re-evaluation of societal values and the pursuit of spiritual transformation for collective well-being.

  1. Core Messages

  2. The Inevitable Downfall of Capitalism and Democracy: “Capitalism, as Karl Marx predicted, reaches a dead end when 1% of the world controls 99% of the wealth, leading to a tragic end for democracy.” This indicates that the current global economic and political systems are inherently flawed and destined to collapse due to extreme inequality.

  3. The God-man’s Arrival in Times of Crisis: “The God-man appears during times of crisis, like the current era where capitalism has reached its limit, to offer a new path.” This conveys that the presence of the God-man is a divine intervention to guide humanity through its most challenging periods.

  4. The Four Revolutions (4Ds) for Transformation: “The 21st century is marked by four revolutions: Divine (spiritual), Digital (mind), Design (thought), and DNA (physical), all of which must change for true transformation.” This highlights a holistic approach to personal and societal change, starting from spiritual awakening and extending to physical alteration.

  5. Jung San-Juui as the Solution: “Jung San-Juui is a new system designed to beautifully distribute wealth, making 90% of the population middle class, thereby resolving the issues caused by capitalism and democracy.” This presents Jung San-Juui as a fundamental shift in economic and social structure, aiming for widespread prosperity and stability.

  6. Process is Paramount: “When the process is correct, the results automatically become good.” This emphasizes that focusing on ethical and righteous actions and methods is more crucial than merely pursuing desired outcomes, as good processes naturally lead to good results.

  7. Detailed Summary

  • The Flaws of Current Systems: Capitalism and Democracy

    • Main Assertions: The lecture begins by observing the decline of the Taiwanese economy under a new leader who opposed China, attributing this to the inherent problems of capitalism and democracy. It states that these systems, despite their initial promise, have led to a severe concentration of wealth, where 1% of the population controls 99% of global assets. This imbalance is seen as a fundamental flaw that Marx predicted would lead to the downfall of capitalism. The current state of democracy is characterized as a “politics of fools” where people elect incompetent leaders.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • Taiwanese Economy: The economic downturn in Taiwan after a new leader took office and opposed China is presented as an example of economic failure.
    • Karl Marx’s Prediction: Marx’s warning that capitalism would collapse when wealth becomes concentrated is cited.
    • French Revolution: The French Revolution is used as a historical example of what happens when 99% of the population rises against the wealthy 1% who hold all the power and resources.
    • Practical Message: The current systems are unsustainable and lead to societal unrest and economic instability, necessitating a new approach.
  • Capitalism’s and Democracy’s Core Principles and Their Contradictions

    • Main Assertions: Capitalism is founded on three principles: absolute ownership, freedom of contract, and liability for fault. Democracy, on the other hand, is based on the pursuit of happiness, absolute equality, and human dignity. The lecture points out that while these democratic principles sound noble, they are often contradicted by the realities of capitalism, where extreme wealth disparity undermines human dignity and equality.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • Building Rights: The example of building a structure and infringing on sunlight rights illustrates the principle of the pursuit of happiness and compensation.
    • Wealth Disparity: The fact that 99.5% of the population cannot afford international travel, while the wealthy 1% can, highlights the failure of capitalism to uphold human dignity.
    • Practical Message: The current combination of capitalism and democracy creates a system where the ideals of democracy are often crushed by the realities of capitalist wealth concentration.
  • The Hidden Powers and National Decline

    • Main Assertions: The lecture reveals the existence of powerful, elite groups (like the 1% Jewish groups in the US) that influence political outcomes, even presidential elections. It also discusses how powerful industries, such as the defense industry, can manipulate political events, including assassinations, to protect their interests. The current economic policies, driven by these powerful entities, lead to capital outflow and domestic unemployment. Furthermore, the lecture criticizes certain national symbols and institutions in Korea, such as the name of the presidential residence (Cheong Wa Dae), the national anthem, the National Assembly, and local autonomous bodies, as factors contributing to national decline.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • JFK Assassination: The assassination of President Kennedy and the immediate swearing-in of Vice President Johnson are presented as an example of the defense industry’s influence.
    • Korean Vice-President System: The historical abolition of the vice-presidency in Korea is mentioned, implying that it was to prevent power struggles.
    • Samsung’s Overseas Investment: Samsung’s investment in Vietnam, which significantly boosted Vietnam’s economy, is used to illustrate how Korean conglomerates prioritize profit over national interest, leading to domestic job losses.
    • Cheong Wa Dae and National Anthem: The names “Cheong Wa Dae” (Blue House) and the phrase “dry up and wear away” in the national anthem are identified as symbols of national misfortune, influenced by Japanese colonial rule.
    • Practical Message: Hidden powers and flawed national systems contribute to economic hardship and national decline, requiring fundamental changes.
  • The Four Revolutions (4Ds) and Personal Transformation

    • Main Assertions: The 21st century is characterized by four revolutions, or “4Ds”: Divine (영성 혁명 – spiritual revolution), Digital (디지털 혁명 – digital revolution, changing thoughts), Design (디자인 혁명 – design revolution, changing mindset), and DNA (DNA 혁명 – DNA revolution, changing physical appearance). These revolutions signify a profound transformation that must occur at individual and national levels, starting with spiritual and mental shifts, leading to physical changes. The concept of “post-mortem plastic surgery” (사후 성형) is introduced, suggesting that one’s actions and mindset in this life can influence their appearance in the next.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • Analogue vs. Digital Thinking: Analogue thinking is described as subjective, closed, and passive, while digital thinking connects one to the entire world.
    • Changing Cheong Wa Dae to Haneulgung: Renaming Cheong Wa Dae to “Haneulgung” (Sky Temple) is presented as a symbolic act that would change the nation’s DNA, spirit, and thoughts.
    • Post-mortem Plastic Surgery: The idea that one can shape their next life’s appearance and circumstances (e.g., becoming a Cinderella or a rich person) by living right and serving others in this life.
    • Practical Message: True transformation requires a holistic change in one’s spiritual, mental, and physical being, and this transformation is influenced by one’s actions and mindset.
  • The Wisdom of Jesus and Buddha: Eight Blessings and Eightfold Path

    • Main Assertions: The lecture draws parallels between Jesus’s Eight Blessings (팔복) in the Bible and Buddha’s Eightfold Path (팔정도), stating that both accurately foresaw the ultimate demise of capitalism and democracy. It interprets Jesus’s blessings in a contemporary economic and social context, suggesting that true happiness and blessings come from spiritual poverty, mourning for injustice, meekness, and righteousness, rather than material wealth. The concept of “meekness” (온유) is particularly linked to long-term prosperity, where patience and non-speculation with land lead to eventual wealth.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • “Blessed are the poor in spirit”: Interpreted as those with less material attachment sleep better, while the wealthy are plagued by worries about their assets.
    • “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth”: Explained as those who patiently hold onto their land without speculation eventually become rich, unlike those who quickly sell for short-term gains.
    • Practical Message: Spiritual wisdom from ancient teachings offers profound insights into the nature of true happiness and prosperity, which often contradicts the values promoted by modern capitalist societies.
  • The Importance of “Right” (正) in the Eightfold Path

    • Main Assertions: The lecture delves into the Buddhist Eightfold Path, emphasizing the concept of “Right” (正) in various aspects of life, such as Right View (정견), Right Speech (정명), and Right Livelihood (정업). It explains that “Right Speech” involves speaking truthfully but also wisely and kindly, avoiding words that cause conflict or misfortune. “Right Livelihood” is defined by the type of “karma” (업장) one accumulates through their profession. Professions are categorized as “arrow-like” (화살) which harm others (e.g., prosecutors, large corporations that exploit small businesses) or “shield-like” (방패) which protect and help others (e.g., lawyers, teachers).
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • Husband and Wife Communication: The example of a wife gently indicating a lack of rice by making a sound with a bowl, rather than directly complaining, illustrates “Right Speech” to maintain harmony and attract blessings.
    • Arrow vs. Shield Professions: Police, prosecutors, and large corporations are described as “arrow-like” because they often target or exploit others, while lawyers and teachers are “shield-like” as they protect and assist.
    • Practical Message: Conscious and ethical conduct in speech and profession is crucial for personal well-being and societal harmony, influencing one’s karmic path.
  • The Principle of Duality and the Middle Way

    • Main Assertions: The lecture introduces the concept that within misfortune lies the seed of happiness, and within happiness, the seed of misfortune. This duality is central to understanding the “Middle Way” (중도) in Buddhism, “Neutrality” (중립) in Christianity, “Moderation” (중용) in Confucianism, and “Harmony” (중화) in Taoism. Those who grasp this principle transcend the extremes of happiness and unhappiness. The lecture also connects this to the scientific concept of quarks as the fundamental, indivisible units of matter, which exist in a state of “beginningless beginning and endless end” (일시무시 일종무종일), implying that everything is interconnected and cyclical.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • Happiness and Misfortune: Experiencing poverty in a small room can lead to greater joy when one later achieves wealth and helps others who were in similar situations.
    • Quarks and Universal Principle: Quarks are described as the smallest particles that embody the principle of “beginningless beginning and endless end,” illustrating that all matter and existence are cyclical and interconnected, appearing and disappearing.
    • Korean Flag (Taegeukgi): The broken lines of the trigrams on the Korean flag are interpreted as symbolizing division and misfortune, contrasting with the unbroken lines that represent completeness.
    • Practical Message: Embracing the duality of existence and understanding the “Middle Way” leads to inner peace and prevents unnecessary conflict, as one recognizes the interconnectedness of all experiences.
  • The Importance of a Capable Leader and Jung San-Juui

    • Main Assertions: A nation thrives when its leader is truly capable and wise, not when surrounded by many “smart” advisors who often serve their own interests. The current system, where economic experts without practical experience make decisions, leads to national economic decline. The lecture advocates for a system where the leader directly guides policy based on genuine public input, rather than being swayed by self-serving officials. It reiterates that Jung San-Juui, a system focused on equitable distribution and national investment, is the solution to the current global crisis. The process of achieving unity (e.g., with North Korea) is more important than rushing to a result.
    • Analogies/Examples:
    • Wise King vs. Many Smart Ministers: A wise king leads to a happy populace, but many “smart” ministers can ruin a nation by pursuing their own agendas.
    • Ship Captain and Helmsman: A capable captain is sufficient; a helmsman who thinks he knows better than the captain can lead to disaster.
    • Korean Central Bank: The proposal to privatize the Bank of Korea is mentioned as a way to prevent national economic mismanagement by government-controlled economists.
    • Korean Unification: Unification with North Korea should be a gradual process of building good relations, not a rushed outcome.
    • Practical Message: A strong, wise leader is essential for national prosperity, and Jung San-Juui offers a path to overcome the failures of existing systems by prioritizing equitable distribution and a sound process.
