The National Dividend System: Completing democracy and Unifying the World
The Divine Economy: Unveiling the National Dividend System and the Path to Global Unity
What is the core message of this lecture? He advocates for a National Dividend System to replace current welfare, arguing it would solve numerous societal problems and complete democracy.
- Introduction to the National Dividend System
He introduces the National Dividend System as a policy with immense value, capable of completing democracy and unifying the world.
1.1. The Value of the National Dividend System
-
He welcomes the audience to Haneulgung, a place where people can experience their destiny changing and practice becoming “platinum”.
-
The National Dividend System, proposed by the speaker, is highly praised by Professor Jeong In-tae, who has researched national policies for 20 years.
-
Professor Jeong In-tae describes it as a policy with UNESCO World Heritage value.
-
He also states that it is equivalent to a Nobel Prize in Economics and a Nobel Peace Prize.
-
Furthermore, he believes it will collapse communism, complete democracy, and is the greatest policy in human history, deserving an honorary doctorate.
-
this system is an incalculable policy brought by a profound being.
-
It took 30 years for the public to understand the National Dividend System, and now a national committee should be formed to promote it.
-
He, referred to as “Huh Kyung-young Bonjwa,” who came from 109 distant stars to unify the world into a thousand-year paradise, is hosting the 185th Haneulgung event.
-
Critiques of Current Society and the Need for Change
He questions why people do not seek to change the world, highlighting extreme global inequality and the failures of existing political and economic systems.
2.1. Global Inequality and the Failure of Current Systems
- He expresses concern that people are not trying to change the world, despite widespread suffering.
- In places like the Philippines, people are dying from disease and starvation in slums, which are too dangerous to enter without guns.
- In contrast, wealthy individuals live in luxurious villas protected by armed guards, creating a stark division.
- He questions why the world remains silent about the millions who die of starvation annually, contrasting it with the attention given to COVID-19 deaths, which primarily affect wealthier nations.
- if the National Dividend System were implemented globally, such starvation would not exist.
- He criticizes current democracy, calling it “democracy” (meaning “crusher of demonstrators”).
- True democracy should prevent the cries of the masses, not require them.
- He suggests a shift to theocracy (divine politics) to change the world.
- He questions why people do not want to change a world where some starve while others live in luxury, protected by armed guards.
2.2. The National Dividend System as the Completion of Democracy
-
He asserts that the National Dividend System is the only way to achieve true democracy.
-
Scholars worldwide will soon recognize this policy.
-
He predicts the creation of a global National Dividend System and a world alliance, leading to world unification.
-
The person who first proposed this system will be recognized as the first world leader.
-
He criticizes the current democratic system, stating that it deceives the public by claiming they are the owners.
-
Without the National Dividend System, democracy is merely an empty shell.
-
He explains that capitalism, the economic term for democracy, and socialism represent two extremes.
-
Capitalism involves a struggle where the strong overpower the weak.
-
Socialism aims for equality, where everyone shares.
-
These two systems are in extreme opposition, and Mr. Huh calls for a change from these outdated approaches.
-
The National Dividend System and Tax Point System
He explains how the National Dividend System and a proposed Tax Point System would create a new social order, fostering respect for taxpayers and ensuring national security.
3.1. The National Dividend System and Theocracy
- the National Dividend System is essential for theocracy.
- This system deserves Nobel Prizes from economists worldwide.
- The National Dividend System would eliminate the need for armed guards, as citizens who receive dividends would protect the nation.
- These citizens, who are intelligent and entrepreneurial, would ensure the nation’s well-being, thus protecting those who contribute to it.
3.2. The Tax Point System
-
He proposes a Tax Point System to honor major taxpayers.
-
Those who pay a lot of taxes would receive a “hero” title and be buried in a special national cemetery.
-
This system is similar to carbon credit trading, where tax points could be bought and sold.
-
High tax point holders would be exempt from arrest and only face trial, as their contributions are vital to the nation.
-
The public would be informed annually about top taxpayers, who would be highly respected.
-
Lower tax point holders would respect those with higher points, as the latter’s contributions enable the National Dividend System.
-
This system encourages consistent tax payments, as inconsistent payments would result in lower points.
-
Tax points could be inherited by children, ensuring continued respect and benefits for families that contribute significantly.
-
people would protect high tax point holders because their contributions ensure the National Dividend System benefits everyone.
-
The “Pay It Forward” Principle and Societal Change
He introduces the “pay it forward” concept, advocating for a shift from self-interest to helping future generations and addressing societal problems like welfare and low birth rates.
4.1. The “Pay It Forward” Principle
- He introduces the concept of “pay it forward,” meaning that instead of repaying those who helped you, you should help others in need.
- This principle applies to everything received, from natural resources like air and water to financial aid.
- For example, if a student receives a scholarship from a professor and later becomes successful, they should help another struggling student rather than repaying the professor.
- The professor would encourage the successful student to help others, emphasizing the importance of assisting those in need.
- This “pay it forward” mentality is crucial for the theocracy and Jung-san-ju-ui (middle-class-ism) that Mr. Huh advocates.
- He questions why people are not trying to change the world and are content with their current situation.
- Instead of indulging in luxury, leaders should use their wealth to help struggling citizens, refugees, and those in need abroad.
- The “pay it forward” principle ensures that help continues to spread through society, rather than being repaid to the original benefactor.
- This concept also applies to national spirit and history, which are passed down through generations.
- He criticizes politicians for their mismanagement, which leads to societal decay and moral decline.
- He urges a change in leadership and mindset, emphasizing that received benefits should be redistributed to those in need.
4.2. Reforming Welfare and Addressing Societal Issues
-
He criticizes the current welfare budget of 200 trillion won, stating it should be abolished and replaced with the National Dividend System.
-
He cites examples of welfare funds being mismanaged and given to favored individuals.
-
He also criticizes the 45 trillion won allocated for low birth rate policies, arguing that such committees and budgets are ineffective.
-
He believes his past proposals for birth policies were correct.
-
He notes that Professor Jeong In-tae, whom he respects, is beginning to understand his ideas.
-
Political Reforms and Inter-Korean Relations
He outlines his plans for political reform, including abolishing certain ministries and establishing new ones, and discusses his unique approach to inter-Korean relations, emphasizing a long-term, cautious strategy based on geomancy and preserving ethnic purity.
5.1. Proposed Political Reforms
- If elected president, Mr. Huh plans to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification.
- He would create a Ministry of Marriage and appoint a minister and prime minister who support this vision.
- he “discovered” Professor Jeong In-tae, who recognized the National Dividend System, and believes such individuals should be appointed to high office to bring about change.
- He calls for the removal of those trapped in egoism and outdated practices.
- The audience applauds Mr. Huh for his message of “endless love” through the National Dividend System.
5.2. Inter-Korean Relations and Asian Unification
- He addresses a question about inter-Korean relations if he becomes president, stating that Asian unification and world unification will occur by 2030.
- North Korea will be unified last, after the completion of the Asian federal unification.
- He plans to replace the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family with a Ministry of Marriage, where their civil servants would work.
- Relations with North Korea would be limited to private exchanges, with no political negotiations with North Korean leaders.
- The government would not interfere with private efforts to help North Korea.
- He believes that private exchanges would revitalize North Korea’s economy over about 10 years, as its economy is currently 40 times smaller than South Korea’s.
- He asserts that if he is elected, the danger between North and South Korea will disappear.
- Unification should only happen at the very end of Asian federal unification, to prevent any “communization” of the Korean Peninsula.
5.3. Geomancy of the Korean Peninsula and Ethnic Purity
- He explains the geomancy of the Korean Peninsula, comparing it to the human body.
- Japan is the Blue Dragon (left side), and China is the White Tiger (right side).
- Jeju Island is the Red Phoenix (south), and the northern part of the peninsula is the Black Tortoise (north).
- South Korea is located at the “In-dang” (forehead center), while North Korea is at the “Baek-hoe” (crown of the head).
- the Korean Peninsula is the only country in the world with the Red Phoenix geomancy.
- Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island signifies “capturing China,” and Baekdusan Mountain signifies the Korean people as world leaders.
- He explains that the “Baek-hoe” (North Korea) is associated with the pineal gland, which connects to the universe, and should remain pure.
- North Korea has preserved the pure Korean bloodline, unlike South Korea, which has become a multi-ethnic society.
- The harsh conditions in North Korea have created a strong, resilient gene pool.
- He believes that if the two Koreas were to unify immediately, South Korean businesses would exploit North Korean labor, and the pure North Korean bloodline would disappear through intermarriage.
- the DMZ (demilitarized zone) is crucial for preserving this purity.
- He connects his birth year (1950) to the height of Hallasan Mountain (1950m), suggesting his arrival is meant to change the world.
- unification should not happen prematurely, as it would lead to the loss of North Korea’s pure bloodline.
- Unification should occur only after Asian and world unification are nearly complete.
5.4. Dangers of Premature Unification
-
He warns against immediate, one-on-one unification or a federal system, as North Korea is inherently stronger than South Korea.
-
People from northern regions tend to be taller and stronger.
-
He notes that his own facial structure is a mix of northern and southern features, making him a “center point”.
-
He gives examples of politicians with northern features, who tend to be strong-willed.
-
North Korea’s military strength, particularly its nuclear weapons, makes a direct comparison with South Korea’s conventional forces impossible.
-
He warns that a federal unification would be dangerous because if a coup occurred in North Korea, foreign armies (like the US, China, or Russia) would not be able to intervene, as it would be considered an internal affair.
-
This could lead to massive casualties, and those who advocate for premature unification are not true patriots.
-
Philosophical and Religious Perspectives on Sin and Salvation
He discusses different religious views on sin, emphasizing the severity of sins committed in the mind and the importance of good deeds, while also addressing the concept of salvation in his White Heaven.
6.1. The Nature of Sin in Different Religions
- He addresses a question about how sins of the mind are known in White Heaven and why they are considered more severe than sins of word or action.
- He clarifies that sins of the mind are less severe if they do not lead to action, which contradicts the questioner’s understanding.
- He explains that religious laws often differ from human laws.
- In Christianity, sins of the mind are considered the most serious.
- For example, lustful thoughts are seen as equivalent to adultery.
- The Ten Commandments include sins of the mind (coveting), sins of speech (lying), and sins of action (adultery, theft, murder).
- In Christianity, even hating someone in your heart is considered murder.
- Disrespecting parents is also a sin of both mind and action.
- Coveting another’s possessions is considered theft, even without physical action.
- In contrast, Buddhism categorizes sins more distinctly into those of mind, word, and action.
6.2. The Story of Noah and His Prophecy
- He recounts the story of Noah, who was ridiculed for 120 years while building the ark during a drought.
- People mocked Noah, just as Mr. Huh was mocked for 33 years for his policies.
- Noah’s prophecy of a great flood eventually came true, and only those in the ark were saved.
- He draws a parallel between Noah’s 120-year wait and his own 33-year wait for his policies to be recognized.
- there is a right time for everything, like seeds sprouting.
- Noah, a descendant of Adam, was part of a lineage that eventually led to Jesus.
- He acknowledges the validity of religious stories but asserts his own divine presence.
6.3. The Severity of Mental Sins and the Path to Salvation
-
in faith and religion, sins of the mind are more severe because the mind has no “partitions”.
-
Once a criminal thought enters the mind, it can spiral out of control.
-
This is why religions strongly warn against mental sins, as they are difficult to contain.
-
In contrast, legal systems typically only punish actions, though some laws address negligence or intent.
-
Unintentional acts are considered less severe than intentional ones.
-
He concludes that the laws of the physical world and the spiritual world often differ.
-
It is best to avoid all sins, whether of word or mind.
-
Families that perform good deeds will experience blessings, while those who commit sins will face misfortune and eventual ruin.
-
The Selection Process for White Heaven and His Vision
He explains that only a select few, around 10 million, will be taken to the White Heaven due to their dedication and spiritual readiness, likening the process to military training.
7.1. The Limited Number of People Taken to the White Heaven
- He addresses a question about why he only takes 10 million people to White Heaven instead of all 7 billion.
- He explains that the Earth itself is a living entity that needs to continue its operation.
- Many people need to undergo spiritual training on Earth to refine their souls before they can go to White Heaven.
7.2. The Analogy of Military Training
-
He uses the analogy of military training at Nonsan to illustrate the selection process.
-
Just as smart recruits are selected for better positions, only those who are truly dedicated will be chosen for White Heaven.
-
He describes his own experience of studying late at night in the bathroom during military training, even when others were sleeping.
-
This dedication to learning, even in difficult circumstances, is what he looks for.
-
only about 10 million people will be taken to White Heaven, representing those who are “awake” and dedicated, like those who studied in the bathroom.
-
These individuals actively seek knowledge and truth, rather than passively sleeping through their training.
-
He believes that if 10 million people on Earth receive his blessing, his mission will be successful.
-
Others, like the director, will continue his work on Earth through theocracy.
-

-
He criticizes the current system for perpetuating social inequality through academic and personal connections, creating a modern form of slavery.
-
He points out that elite institutions like law and medical schools have become “money schools” for the wealthy, leading to youth disillusionment.
-

-
Global Implementation and Transformative Power of the National Dividend System
He and Professor Jeong In-tae advocate for the global adoption of the National Dividend System, asserting its power to dismantle existing ideologies, resolve societal problems, and establish a new world order where citizens are truly empowered.
9.1. Global Launch of the National Dividend System
- Professor Jeong In-tae discusses the launch of the National Dividend System World Citizens’ Alliance.
- He explains that the National Dividend System operates like a joint-stock company, where the nation invests wisely, minimizes waste, and distributes profits to its citizens as dividends.
- This system was founded by the speaker.
- He believes the National Dividend System should not be confined to South Korea but should inspire a global movement, similar to past democracy movements.
- This would lead to the formation of citizen alliances in countries like the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK, spreading the idea worldwide.

- Professor Jeong In-tae argues that the National Dividend System will lead to the collapse of communism and socialism.
- He notes that in communist and socialist countries, the wealthy are extremely rich, while common people struggle.
- The National Dividend System would eliminate the criticisms communists and socialists have against capitalism by ensuring that all citizens receive dividends.
- This would spark a global citizen revolution, with people demanding the implementation of the National Dividend System in their own countries, leading to the downfall of communist regimes.
- the National Dividend System is the highest form of policy, deserving of Nobel Prizes and comparable to the creation of Hangul and the heliocentric theory.
- He concludes that the National Dividend System will lead to a world where communism collapses, democracy is completed, and a global alliance of nations is formed.
9.3. Constitutional Reform and Societal Transformation
- He proposes that the National Dividend System should become South Korea’s National Treasure No. 1, replacing the current National Treasure No. 1 (Sungnyemun Gate).
- He also suggests changing the first article of the constitution from “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic” to “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens above the middle class by providing a national dividend from the age of 18”.
- This constitutional change would solve numerous societal problems, including starvation, poverty, and suicide.
- It would enable people to marry and date without financial worries, providing funds for marriage and childbirth.
- Labor disputes would cease, as citizens would receive substantial monthly incomes (e.g., 6 million won for a couple with two university students), eliminating the need to demand higher wages.
- Instead, workers might even ask companies to lower wages to help national businesses thrive.
- The National Dividend System is presented as a panacea for various issues, including labor, employment, marriage, and care for the elderly.
- He proposes a new system for elderly care, where small-scale nursing homes (with 5 or more elderly residents) would be recognized and receive state benefits.
- This would create a family-like atmosphere, allowing the elderly to live comfortably and choose homes based on their preferences (e.g., near mountains or rivers).
- This contrasts with current nursing homes, which he describes as impersonal and restrictive.
- This system would also provide income for young women who care for the elderly.
9.4. Historical and Cultural Significance of the National Dividend System
-
the National Dividend System should replace the current National Treasure No. 1 and the first article of the constitution.

Central Questions & Answers
-
What is Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System and its global impact?
Question: What is the core idea behind Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System, and how is it expected to transform society and the world?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System proposes operating the nation like a joint-stock company, where the government invests wisely, minimizes wasteful spending, and distributes profits as dividends to its citizens. This system is hailed as a policy of “UNESCO World Heritage value,” capable of collapsing communism, completing democracy, and deserving of Nobel Prizes in Economics and Peace. It aims to eliminate poverty, resolve social conflicts like labor disputes, and address issues such as low birth rates and an aging population by ensuring every citizen receives a basic income, thereby elevating everyone to at least a middle-class standard of living. It is envisioned to spark a global movement, leading to a “World Citizens’ Alliance” and ultimately world unification.
Key Quote: “The National Dividend System is the completion of true democracy.” -
How does the National Dividend System address wealth inequality and social issues?
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System propose to resolve the extreme wealth polarization and various social problems prevalent in modern society?
Answer: The National Dividend System directly confronts wealth polarization by ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their economic status, receive a share of the nation’s profits. This eliminates the need for labor disputes, as citizens would have a stable income, and encourages companies to lower wages to boost national competitiveness. It also provides substantial financial support for marriage and childbirth, tackling demographic crises. Furthermore, it redefines the concept of social contribution through a “Tax Point System,” where high taxpayers receive public recognition and benefits, fostering a culture of mutual respect and collective well-being. This system is presented as a “panacea” that resolves countless societal problems, from unemployment to elder care.
Key Quote: “The National Dividend System is a panacea that solves dozens of problems.” -
What is the significance of the “Pay It Forward” philosophy in Huh Kyung-young’s teachings?
Question: What is the meaning and importance of the “Pay It Forward” concept within Huh Kyung-young’s philosophy, and how does it relate to receiving blessings?
Answer: The “Pay It Forward” philosophy emphasizes that blessings and assistance received should not be repaid directly to the benefactor but rather passed on to others in need. This concept is illustrated with an analogy of a scholarship recipient who, upon success, helps other struggling students instead of repaying the original professor. It suggests that resources like air, water, and land are gifts from the heavens, and humanity’s role is to share these benefits with future generations and those less fortunate. This principle is fundamental to the God-man’s vision of a compassionate society, where acts of kindness propagate through the community, fostering a continuous cycle of giving.
Key Quote: “What you have received, give it to the next person. Give it to the next person.” -
What is Huh Kyung-young’s perspective on North and South Korean unification?
Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s unique stance on the unification of North and South Korea, and what factors influence his approach?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young believes that immediate, direct unification between North and South Korea is premature and dangerous. North Korea, with its “pure Korean bloodline” preserved due to its isolation, possesses a strong, resilient genetic heritage, while South Korea has become a “multi-ethnic nation.” Unification now would lead to South Korean capitalists exploiting North Korean labor and women, diluting the pure bloodline. He advocates for a phased approach: first, Asian unification, then world unification, with North Korea being the very last to unify. During this period, he proposes only civilian exchanges, allowing North Korea to independently revive its economy for about a decade. He also highlights the geopolitical and spiritual significance of the Korean Peninsula’s “Pungsu” (geomancy), where North Korea represents the Crown Chakra and South Korea the “Naesuche” (pituitary gland), emphasizing the need to preserve North Korea’s unique purity.
Key Quote: “North Korea is the last to unify after Asian federal unification is complete.” -
How does Huh Kyung-young view the concept of sin and its consequences?
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young differentiate between various types of sin (thought, word, action) and their implications, particularly from a spiritual perspective?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young explains that different religions and legal systems view sin differently. While human law typically punishes actions, religions like Christianity often consider sins of the mind (e.g., lust, hatred) to be equally or even more severe than physical actions. He notes that the mind has no “partitions,” meaning a single negative thought can spiral into endless wrongdoing. From the perspective of Haneulgung, however, the concept of “sin” itself does not exist. Instead, all sins can be “extinguished” through receiving blessings from the God-man. while good deeds lead to prosperity and blessings, continuous wrongdoing ultimately results in suffering and downfall.
Key Quote: “All sins are extinguished if you receive blessings from me.” -
What is the purpose of Haneulgung and the selection of 10 million people for White Heaven?
Question: What is the ultimate goal of Haneulgung, and why does Huh Kyung-young state that only 10 million people will be taken to the White Heaven?
Answer: Haneulgung serves as a training ground for those who are “awake” and actively seek spiritual growth, likened to a military training camp where only the most dedicated are selected for special roles. Huh Kyung-young explains that while the entire 7 billion population cannot go to the White Heaven, approximately 10 million individuals who demonstrate genuine effort and a strong connection to the God-man will be chosen. This selection is not arbitrary but based on their spiritual readiness and willingness to seek truth, even in challenging circumstances (symbolized by studying in a restroom at night). These 10 million are considered “awakened” souls who will continue the God-man’s work on Earth or ascend to the White Heaven.
Key Quote: “Those who are awake, who seek truth even in the restroom, are the ones I will take.” -
What is the significance of the “Cheonjihyeol” (Heavenly Earth Acupoint) in the mouth?
Question: What is the “Cheonjihyeol” (Heavenly Earth Acupoint) located in the mouth, and what are its purported health benefits?
Answer: The “Cheonjihyeol” is described as a crucial acupoint located on the roof of the mouth, specifically where the tongue touches when pronouncing the English “R” sound. It is referred to as the “gate to heaven.” By pressing the tongue against this point, a special saliva called “Okchim” is produced. This “Okchim” is said to possess powerful medicinal properties, capable of curing various diseases, including colon cancer and stomach cancer, and significantly boosting the body’s immunity. This knowledge is presented as a secret often unknown even to traditional Korean medicine practitioners.
Key Quote: “If you touch your tongue to the Cheonjihyeol on the roof of your mouth, all diseases in your body will be cured.”

- Political negotiations with North Korean leaders would be avoided, focusing instead on private exchanges to help North Korea’s economy recover over about 10 years.
- He explained the unique Feng Shui of the Korean Peninsula, with Japan as the “Blue Dragon,” China as the “White Tiger,” Jeju Island as the “Red Phoenix,” and the North as the “Black Tortoise”.
- He highlighted the significance of Hallasan (meaning “to conquer China”) and Baekdusan (meaning “white-headed people are world leaders”).
- North Korea is seen as preserving the pure Korean ethnic lineage, which would be diluted by premature unification with the diverse South Korean population.
- He warned that immediate unification would lead to the exploitation of North Korean women and the loss of their pure lineage.
- North Korea’s military strength, particularly its nuclear weapons, makes a direct, one-on-one unification dangerous, as it could lead to internal conflict without international intervention.
-
Types of Sins
- A question was raised about how sins of the mind are known in White Heaven and why they are considered heavier than sins of word or action.
- He clarified that in religious contexts (e.g., Christianity), sins of the mind are often considered more severe, as they can lead to greater transgressions.
- He used the example of Noah building the ark, enduring ridicule for 120 years, to illustrate the importance of faith and enduring judgment.
- In White Heaven, sins do not exist, and all sins can be absolved through receiving blessings.
-
Selection for White Heaven
- Only 10 million people will be taken to the White Heaven, as the Earth also needs to continue its existence as a living entity.
- This selection is likened to military training, where only those who diligently seek knowledge (even in difficult conditions like a restroom) are chosen.
-
Professor Jeong In-tae’s Endorsement of the National Dividend System
- Professor Jeong In-tae, a distinguished academic and former government advisor, expressed his profound admiration for Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System.
- He described it as a policy of “Nobel Prize in Economics and Peace” caliber, capable of resolving labor disputes, educational inequality, and low birth rates.
- He compared the public’s slow acceptance of the National Dividend System to the 1800 years it took for heliocentrism to be accepted.
- He advocated for the establishment of a “World Citizens’ Alliance for the National Dividend System” to spread the policy globally.
- He asserted that the National Dividend System would lead to the collapse of communism and socialism by offering a superior model of economic equality.
-
Proposed Constitutional and National Treasure Changes
- He proposed that the National Dividend System should become Korea’s “National Treasure No. 1,” replacing Sungnyemun (Namdaemun).
- He also suggested amending Article 1 of the Constitution to state that “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens above 18 years old a middle-class or higher standard of living through the National Dividend System”.
- This change would solve numerous societal problems, including unemployment, marriage issues, and labor disputes.
- He envisioned a future where small-scale nursing homes, run by families, would replace large institutions, providing a more comfortable and family-like environment for the elderly.
- He criticized the current national treasures (Sungnyemun and Heunginjimun) as lacking true value compared to the National Dividend System.
- He mentioned that Japan’s National Treasure No. 1, the Maitreya Pensive Bodhisattva, was stolen from Korea, implying a future where global national treasures would be replaced by the National Dividend System.
- He recounted that Sungnyemun burned down on the day he was arrested for election law violations, implying a connection to his divine status.
Ⅲ. Action Items
- Form a pan-national promotion committee for the National Dividend System.
- Abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification, and establish a “Ministry of Marriage”.
- Appoint Professor Jeong In-tae as Prime Minister.
- Establish a “World Citizens’ Alliance for the National Dividend System”.
- Amend Article 1 of the Constitution to reflect the National Dividend System.
- Redesignate the National Dividend System as National Treasure No. 1.
The National Dividend System: A Vision for Global Transformation
[1. The National Dividend System: A Policy of Unfathomable Value]
Distinguished Professor Jeong In-tae, who has dedicated two decades to researching national policies, has lauded Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) as a policy of UNESCO World Heritage value. He further asserts that it is a policy equivalent to a Nobel Prize in Economics and a Nobel Peace Prize, capable of dismantling communism, perfecting democracy, and deserving of an honorary doctorate. It is, in his estimation, the greatest policy in human history. This National Dividend System is a policy of unfathomable (심려 막측) depth, brought forth by a being of immense wisdom, whose total scope is beyond human calculation. It has taken our citizens thirty years to fully comprehend this system. The time has come to establish a pan-national (범국민) promotion committee for the National Dividend System.
[2. A Call for Global Change: Addressing Disparity and Redefining Democracy]
Why do you not contemplate changing the world? Why do you remain stagnant while famine and disease plague humanity? In places like the Philippines, people starve and succumb to illness in impoverished slums, where even law enforcement fears to tread due to rampant gun violence. Yet, in stark contrast, luxurious villas are guarded by armed security, creating havens for the wealthy elite. This stark division persists, with armed guards protecting the affluent. Annually, millions perish from starvation, a tragedy far exceeding the casualties of pandemics like COVID-19, which primarily affect more developed nations. Is it not unjust that we mourn deaths from disease but remain silent on those who starve?
[3. The National Dividend System as the Completion of True Democracy]
If the National Dividend System were implemented globally, each nation would distribute a dividend from its national income. Would such suffering then exist? Is democracy merely the clamor of protestors, the “crusher” of those who demonstrate? Is it truly democracy to only heed the screams of the masses? Should we not strive for a system where such cries are unnecessary? The English term “democracy” (데모크라시) itself, derived from “demos” (데모) and “kratos” (크라시), signifies the rule of the crowd, often implying a tumultuous political landscape. This is not true democracy.
[4. Transition to Shinjeongjuui (神政主義): Divine Governance]
Instead, we must transition to Shinjeongjuui (神政主義), which translates to “divine governance” or “heavenly politics.” This is the era we must usher in, changing the world. This is the question I pose to you: Why do you not desire to change the world?
[5. The Flaws of Conventional Systems: Capitalism, Socialism, and the Need for a New Paradigm]
The current system, where armed guards protect the privileged while others starve and suffer, is not true democracy. This superficial democracy must be perfected through the National Dividend System. The National Dividend System is the true completion of democracy. Scholars worldwide will soon recognize this truth.
[6. The Global Impact of the National Dividend System: Unification and Recognition]
The National Dividend System will lead to a global federation of nations, fostering world unity and creating a thousand-year paradise on Earth. The individual who first proposed this system will be recognized as the inaugural world leader.
[7. Beyond National Boundaries: A Vision for Korea and the World]
My aim is not merely to change the Korean Peninsula. My purpose is not to admonish politicians for their shortcomings. We must move beyond the current democratic politics, which claims the people are sovereign but, in reality, mocks them.
[8. The Deception of Modern Democracy and the Imperative of the National Dividend System]
This form of democracy trivializes the populace. Can democracy truly exist if it is merely a shell, devoid of the National Dividend System within?
[9. The Dichotomy of Capitalism and Socialism: A System of Extremes]
The economic term for the democratic system is capitalism. However, capitalism, like socialism, represents an extreme. This is what we call polarization (양극화). In this system, the strong prevail over the weak, consolidating power and wealth.
[10. The Limitations of Socialism and Communism: A Call for Equality]
Let us abandon this approach. Let us strive for equality, where all share in prosperity. This is the essence of socialism. Yet, socialism often leads to communism, just as democracy is intertwined with capitalism. These two systems represent opposing extremes. Why do we tolerate such divisions in the world? We must change.
[11. Shinjeongjuui (神政主義) and the National Dividend System: A Path to Economic Justice]
Shinjeongjuui (神政主義) is the answer. As I have previously stated, Shinjeongjuui (神政主義) is a divine form of governance. It is a system that even communist nations would embrace. World economists should award a Nobel Prize for this concept. What is required to achieve this? The National Dividend System. This dividend is essential. The National Dividend System is necessary to establish a new middle-class society.
[12. The Power of the National Dividend: Citizen Protection and Economic Empowerment]
With the National Dividend System, there will be no need for armed guards. The citizens themselves will protect the nation. Those who receive the national dividend, possessing intelligence and entrepreneurial spirit, will ensure our collective well-being.
[13. The Tax Point System: Recognizing Contributions and Fostering Respect]
Those who pay substantial taxes will receive special recognition, such as red-colored vehicles, indicating their status. While not mandatory, others will naturally yield to them on the road. In the event of a traffic accident, those with higher tax contributions will receive preferential treatment, as they contribute significantly to the national dividend. My platform includes a Tax Point System (세금 포인트 제도). Individuals who pay substantial taxes will accumulate points, and beyond a certain threshold, they will be bestowed with the title of “National Hero.” They will strive to pay taxes diligently. This is akin to the carbon credit system, where carbon points are traded globally. Similarly, Tax Points will be tradable.
[14. The Legacy of Tax Points: Intergenerational Wealth and Societal Respect]
What are Tax Points? Those who pay substantial taxes will receive the title of “Hero” and will be interred in a special national cemetery. Individuals who consistently contribute significant taxes to the nation, ensuring a generous national dividend for all, will be exempt from arrest or detention. They will only face trial.
[15. Public Recognition and Intergenerational Transfer of Tax Points]
The nation will annually announce individuals with high Tax Points. Imagine someone with 100,000 Tax Points; they would be held in the highest esteem, as their contributions directly translate to a larger national dividend for everyone.
[16. The Intergenerational Transfer of Tax Points: A Legacy of Contribution]
Furthermore, individuals with high Tax Points can transfer them to their children. A child could inherit 500,000 Tax Points from their father, or three sons could each receive 100,000 Tax Points. This system ensures that the legacy of contribution continues across generations.
[17. The Social Fabric Woven by the National Dividend System]
Families without Tax Points will still subsist on the national dividend. However, they will naturally respect those with high Tax Points. There will be no need for armed protection, as the citizens themselves will safeguard these contributors. Without them, the national dividend would diminish. These individuals, through their talent and hard work, generate substantial tax revenue, enabling the national dividend. We must acknowledge their invaluable contribution.
[18. The Principle of “Pay It Forward”: A Divine Mandate]
The National Dividend System is about “paying it forward” (페이 포워드). Why hoard wealth? Distribute it. The food, rice, and money we possess are not from us; they are from Heaven. Heaven does not demand repayment directly. Instead, Heaven instructs us to “pay it forward” (페이 포워드) to others, to those who come after us. If you have received grace from your father, do not seek to repay him directly. Instead, extend that grace to your grandchildren. There is no need to visit your father’s grave and offer repayment.
[19. The True Meaning of “Pay It Forward”: A Cycle of Benevolence]
This principle means to pass on what you have received to the next generation. If a scholarship student receives aid and later achieves success, they should not repay the scholarship foundation directly. Similarly, if a professor assists a struggling student, that student, upon succeeding, should not repay the professor. The professor would simply say, “I did not help you to be repaid. You must ‘pay it forward’ (페이 포워드) to someone else in need.”
[20. The Essence of Shinjeongjuui (神政主義): Paying It Forward]
This is the essence of Shinjeongjuui (神政主義). This is the philosophy. You must firmly grasp this philosophy.
[21. A Call to Action: Why Not Change the World?]
Why do you not contemplate changing the world? Why do you remain complacent? Our ancestors bestowed upon us this land, this food, this prosperity. Should we not, in turn, use our wealth to aid the starving across the globe, just as we once endured hardship? Are we not obligated to “pay it forward” (페이 포워드)? Yet, what are we doing? We are consumed by pleasure and extravagance. Our leaders must return wealth to the struggling citizens, assist those in need abroad, and support refugees. This is the true meaning of “paying it forward” (페이 포워드).
[22. The Ripple Effect of Benevolence: A Chain of Giving]
When a student, having received aid, claims it was from a professor, the professor might respond, “I helped that student long ago, and now they are helping you. I do not accept repayment. You must ‘pay it forward’ (페이 포워드) to others in need.” This creates a continuous chain of giving.
[23. The Intergenerational Legacy of the Nation]
This principle also applies to our national spirit. Our nation’s history has been passed down through generations for five millennia. We, too, must “pay it forward” (페이 포워드) this history.
[24. The Urgency of Change: Breaking Cycles of Complacency]
Why can we not change the world? We have received so much from our ancestors, yet we squander it on alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and other vices. This is a tragic state of affairs. Many are falling into depravity due to the misguided policies of our politicians. These individuals are not inherently evil. Why do you not contemplate changing the world? Why do you live in such a manner? Whether you are a religious leader or a politician, it is time for change.
[25. The Necessity of Leadership Change: Breaking the Cycle of Stagnation]
If leaders do not change, if politicians do not change, this cycle of stagnation will continue.
[26. The Imperative of Redistribution: Paying It Forward to the Needy]
Do not simply return what you have received to the giver. You must redistribute it to those in need.
[27. The Flaws of the Current Welfare System: A Call for the National Dividend]
Our national welfare budget is 200 trillion won, but it must be abolished. It is distributed arbitrarily. It must be replaced by the National Dividend System.
[28. Mismanagement of Public Funds and the Failure of Existing Policies]
In Yangcheon-gu, a low-ranking civil servant was found to have mismanaged 8.2 billion won in welfare funds, arbitrarily depositing them into personal accounts. The 45 trillion won allocated for low birth rate measures, managed by presidential committees, has also been squandered, yet birth rates have not increased.
[29. The Vision for a New Government: Abolishing Ministries and Establishing a Marriage Ministry]
When I become president, I will abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification. Instead, I will establish a Marriage Ministry (결혼부). The Minister of Marriage will not merely oversee marriage-related affairs. Such an individual should be appointed as Prime Minister.
[30. Recognizing Visionary Leadership: The Discovery of Professor Jeong In-tae]
I have discovered Professor Jeong In-tae. While he discovered the National Dividend System, I discovered him. I do not say this because we are close. Such an individual must be appointed as the nation’s Prime Minister to bring about true change. Why do we perpetually cling to outdated practices?
[31. The Need for a Clean Sweep: Eliminating Self-Serving Elites]
We must cleanse ourselves of those trapped in self-serving ideologies and egoism.
[32. The National Dividend System: A Message of Unending Love]
In this reality where citizens are suffering, the National Dividend System offers a message of unending love.
[33. The Future of Inter-Korean Relations: Asia and World Unification]
When I become president, I will achieve Asian unification and world unification by 2030. North Korea will be unified last, after the completion of the Asian Federal Unification.
[34. Reforming Government and Inter-Korean Exchange: A New Approach]
I will dismantle the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. The civil servants from these ministries will be reassigned to the newly established Marriage Ministry (결혼부). Regarding North Korea, I will only permit civilian exchanges. There will be no political negotiations with North Korean leaders. North Korea will pursue its path, and South Korea will pursue its own, with active civilian exchanges. The government will not interfere with private efforts to assist North Korea.
[35. Economic Recovery and Strategic Unification: Lessons from Germany]
This will foster active inter-Korean exchange, aiding North Korea’s economic recovery. The economic disparity between North and South Korea is 40:1, whereas East and West Germany had a 3:1 ratio, yet faced significant post-unification challenges. Therefore, North Korea will be allowed approximately ten years to independently revitalize its economy, with active support from our civilian sector. If I am elected president, the threat of conflict on the Korean Peninsula will vanish. After ten years of economic recovery, North Korea will be unified as the final step in the Asian Federal Unification. Unifying North and South Korea prematurely, in the presence of the entire world, would risk the Korean Peninsula being absorbed by external powers.
[36. The Geopolitical Significance of the Korean Peninsula: A Feng Shui Perspective]
The Korean Peninsula holds immense geopolitical significance. Japan represents the Azure Dragon (청룡), and China represents the White Tiger (백호). These are the outer Azure Dragon and White Tiger. Jeju Island, to the south, represents the Vermilion Bird (주작). The northern region represents the Black Tortoise (현무).
[37. The Human Body as a Microcosm of the Korean Peninsula’s Feng Shui]
Our human body mirrors this structure. The top of the head is the Crown Chakra (백회) point. North Korea corresponds to our Crown Chakra (백회). Our arms represent the left Azure Dragon and right White Tiger. Our legs represent the inner Azure Dragon and White Tiger. Our face also reflects this, with the In-dang (인당) point between the eyebrows.
[38. South Korea as the In-dang (인당) and North Korea as the Crown Chakra (백회)]
South Korea corresponds to the In-dang (인당) point, not North Korea. This is a well-known fact.
[39. The Auspicious Feng Shui of the Korean Peninsula: A Unique Destiny]
The Korean Peninsula possesses a complete feng shui configuration: the Black Tortoise (현무) to the north, the Azure Dragon (청룡) to the east, the White Tiger (백호) to the west, and the Vermilion Bird (주작) to the south. The Vermilion Bird (주작) extends to the Philippines, Taiwan, and Australia. Our peninsula is unique in having Mount Hallasan (한라산) as its Vermilion Bird (주작), signifying the capture of China. Mount Baekdusan (백두산) in the north signifies the “Baekdu people” (백두민족) as world leaders, destined to govern the continent. Our nation carries this destiny, as we are the only country in the world with such a powerful Vermilion Bird (주작) configuration, representing a crimson phoenix.
[40. The Energetic Centers of the Korean Peninsula: Crown Chakra (백회) and Naeyasu (내아수체)]
The Korean Peninsula, a place of such greatness, has the In-dang (인당) point. What emerges from the In-dang (인당)? What emerges from the Crown Chakra (백회)? The Crown Chakra (백회) is associated with the pineal gland (송과체), which communicates with the cosmos. The In-dang (인당) is associated with the pituitary gland (내아수체).
[41. The Cheonmunhyeol (천문혈): A Gateway to Health and Vitality]
What is located in the mouth, on the roof of the palate? The Cheonmunhyeol (천문혈), the “Heavenly Gate Acupoint.” When you pronounce the English “R,” the tip of your tongue touches this spot. This is the gate to Heaven. If you press your tongue against it, Okchim (옥침), the most potent saliva for health, is produced. Swallowing it can cure various cancers.
[42. The Cheonmunhyeol (천문혈) and Cheondolhyeol (천돌혈): Vital Acupoints]
The Cheonmunhyeol (천문혈) is also known as Cheonjihyeol (천지혈). The Cheondolhyeol (천돌혈) is associated with the Vermilion Bird (주작) and corresponds to Jeju Island. This Cheondolhyeol (천돌혈) is a crucial acupoint on our face.
[43. North Korea’s Unique Genetic Purity: A Preserved Lineage]
North Korea, corresponding to the Crown Chakra (백회) and pineal gland (송과체), has maintained a pure lineage, unmixed with foreign influences. If the armistice line did not exist, North Korea’s population would become as diverse as South Korea’s.
[44. South Korea’s Genetic Diversification and North Korea’s Resilience]
South Korea has failed to preserve its pure Korean lineage, becoming a multi-ethnic nation. North Korea, however, has maintained its pure Korean bloodline. The harsh cold and poverty in North Korea have fostered a resilient people, ensuring the survival of only the strongest genes. I am here to utilize these individuals for the future of humanity.
[45. The Preservation of Pure Lineage: A Strategic Delay in Unification]
Our Korean people, after 50,000 years, still possess a completely pure lineage in North Korea. South Korea, however, has undergone significant genetic variation. The pure lineage still exists there, strongly united.
[46. The Perils of Premature Unification: Economic Exploitation and Genetic Dilution]
If immediate unification were to occur, South Korean businesses would flood into North Korea, and North Koreans would migrate south for work. This would be detrimental. If railways were connected, entrepreneurs would rush north, and North Korean women would be exploited and lured away within a year. The pure lineage of North Korean women would vanish, replaced by a mixed-breed society, akin to the United States.
[47. The Hidden Truth of the Armistice Line: A Divine Purpose]
There is a profound secret at play here. Why does the armistice line exist? Why was I born in 1950, the same year as the Korean War, and why is Mount Hallasan (한라산) 1,950 meters high? I came to transform the world.
[48. The Dangers of Hasty Unification: Preserving the Pure Bloodline]
Why do you not change the world? Is it not premature to unify North and South Korea? The Ministry of Unification must be abolished immediately. If South Korean opportunists freely traverse North Korea, our pure bloodline will disappear. I am observing this situation.
[49. Strategic Unification: A Global Context]
Unification must occur only when my comprehensive plan is fully established, after Asian unification and when world unification is imminent. A direct 1:1 unification or a federal system between North and South Korea would inevitably collapse. North Korea is always stronger than the South.
[50. The Strength of the North: A Geographical and Anthropological Perspective]
The North is always stronger. As one travels north on the Korean Peninsula, people tend to be taller and stronger. People from Hamgyeong Province are taller than those from South Korea. Conversely, as one travels south, people become shorter and weaker. This is why Southeast Asian men are often shorter than their female counterparts.
[51. The Distinctive Features of Northern and Southern Lineages]
Anthropologists observe that people from the North have longer cheekbones, with eyes and mouth positioned centrally, and a balanced forehead. Our lineage, however, is of the Southern type. I am a blend of both Southern and Northern lineages.
[52. The Significance of Facial Features: Stubbornness and Drive]
Individuals with prominent cheekbones tend to be stubborn and strong, possessing a powerful drive. For example, Chung Ju-yung was a typical Northern type.
[53. The Perils of Unilateral Unification: North Korea’s Military Superiority]
Therefore, if South Korea attempts a unilateral 1:1 unification with North Korea, it must recognize that North Korea is militarily superior. Their military capabilities are asymmetrical. North Korea possesses nuclear weapons.
[54. The Threat of Nuclear Weapons and the Illusion of Federalism]
Without nuclear weapons, South Korea’s military might be formidable, but with them, a military comparison is impossible. Therefore, those who speak carelessly of unification are not patriots. You must heed the words of the God-man (神人).
[55. The Looming Demographic Crisis: A Call for the 33 Policies]
Our Korean people, if current trends continue, will face zero population by 2100. The population will completely disappear. I announced my population policies 33 years ago. These are the 33 Policies (33 정책).
[56. The Long Wait for Recognition: The Dawn of Huh Kyung-young Era]
People initially dismissed me as insane, scoffing at my proposals for marriage incentives and the National Dividend System. I waited 33 years for people to understand. Now, individuals are beginning to recognize the truth. The era of Huh Kyung-young is dawning.
[57. The Nature of Sin: Mind, Speech, and Action]
Humans commit sins through their minds, words, and actions. In a previous lecture, I stated that sins of speech and action are recorded in the brain through the eyes, allowing for their discernment in the afterlife. The question arises: How are sins of the mind discerned in Haneulgung (하늘궁)? Furthermore, why are sins of the mind considered more grievous than those of speech and action? Lastly, since thoughts are free, should sins of the mind not be viewed more leniently?
[58. The Discrepancy Between Human Law and Religious Doctrine on Sin]
The individual who posed these questions misunderstood my lecture. Sins of the mind, if not manifested in action, are relatively minor. However, human law often differs from religious doctrine. Religion, particularly Christianity, views sins of the mind as the most severe.
[59. The Ten Commandments and the Severity of Mental Sins]
For instance, in Christianity, lustful thoughts are considered a greater sin than actual adultery. The Tenth Commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s possessions,” addresses a sin of the mind. The Ninth, “You shall not bear false witness,” is a sin of speech. The Eighth, “You shall not steal,” and the Seventh, “You shall not commit adultery,” are sins of action. However, adultery can also be a sin of the mind. The Sixth Commandment, “You shall not murder,” encompasses both mind and action. Hating someone in your heart is already considered murder.
[60. The Overlap of Mind and Action in Religious Commandments]
While the Ten Commandments do not explicitly state “do not hate,” the prohibition against murder implies it. The Fifth Commandment, “Honor your father and mother,” also involves both mind and action. The Fourth, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,” requires observance in both mind and action. In Buddhism and Christianity, mind and action often overlap. Coveting another’s possessions is considered theft in Christianity, even if no physical act occurs. The Ten Commandments address sins of mind, speech, and action. Buddhism, however, categorizes sins more distinctly: sins of the mind, sins of speech, and sins of action.
[61. The Story of Noah: Faith Amidst Scorn]
Consider the story of Noah. For 120 years, as he built the ark, people mocked him, questioning his foolishness in constructing a vessel in a land without rain. They ridiculed him, calling him insane. For 120 years, it did not rain. People would visit the ark, insult Noah, and even defile the vessel. They called him a madman for building a boat in the desert. I, too, have endured similar scorn for 33 years, proclaiming that my policies would be recognized. Noah waited 120 years. People questioned how he could wait so long. Yet, after 120 years, the Great Flood arrived. As people screamed for help, Noah was instructed by Heaven not to open the ark’s door. Those who had mocked him perished. The ark floated above the rising waters.
[62. The Timeless Principle of Divine Timing: The Era of Huh Kyung-young]
This illustrates that there is a divine timing for all things. I, too, waited 33 years after announcing my policies. There is a time for everything, like planting a seed and waiting for it to sprout.
[63. The Lineage of Noah and the Significance of Religious Narratives]
Noah, though ridiculed, was an ancestor of Jesus, the tenth descendant of Adam. Abraham was the twentieth descendant, Boaz the thirtieth, Jesse the fortieth, David the fiftieth, and Jesus the sixtieth. The Bible recounts the intricate lineage from Adam to Jesus. These are the narratives of their religion. We must not dismiss them. As the God-man (神人), I acknowledge all religions. However, you must recognize my presence.
[64. The Uncontainable Nature of Mental Sins: A Religious Perspective]
In faith and religion, sins of the mind are considered more severe. The mind has no partitions. Once it succumbs to sin, it spirals endlessly. It is difficult to contain the mind. Once someone tries drugs, it is almost impossible to stop. The same applies to smoking. Therefore, religions strongly warn against sins of the mind.
[65. The Disparity Between Legal and Spiritual Justice: Intent vs. Action]
In Buddhism, only actions are considered crimes. However, there are also laws concerning omissions and negligence. For instance, involuntary manslaughter, where one unintentionally causes death while driving, is still considered a crime. Such unintentional acts are viewed leniently under both current law and religious doctrine. However, intentional crimes are judged severely. Thus, the laws of the physical world and the spiritual world often diverge.
[66. The Consequences of Sin and the Rewards of Virtue]
It is best to avoid all sins, whether of speech or mind. A family that accumulates good deeds will surely experience blessings. Conversely, a family that prospers through sin will eventually suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, traffic accidents, and ultimately, ruin.
[67. The Absence of Sin in White Heaven (백궁): A Realm of Purity]
In White Heaven (백궁), the concept of sin does not exist.
[68. The Eradication of Sin Through Divine Blessing]
Can sins of the mind be viewed more leniently? All sins are eradicated through my blessings.
[69. The Limited Number of Souls Destined for White Heaven (백궁): A Metaphor of Training]
Why do I take only ten million souls to White Heaven (백궁)? It is impossible to take all seven billion. The Earth itself is a living entity and must continue its operation. Many souls must undergo training on Earth, refining their spirits before ascending. This is akin to a military training camp. When I entered the Nonsan training camp, intelligent and capable recruits were immediately selected for specialized roles.
[70. The Dedication of the God-man (神人) to Study: A Metaphor for Spiritual Awakening]
During my month of training, lights were turned off at 9 PM, making it impossible to read. Yet, I would study until 1 or 2 AM in the bathroom, where the lights remained on. I would sit on the toilet seat and study for hours. If I had not studied during that month, immense problems would have arisen. As the God-man (神人), I must manage both White Heaven (백궁) and my earthly studies.
[71. The Metaphor of the Training Camp: Identifying the Awakened]
This training camp story illustrates the selection of ten million souls for White Heaven (백궁). Those who, like me, would seek out a bathroom to study, even in the dark, are the ones worthy of being taken. The bathroom represents Haneulgung (하늘궁).
[72. The Self-Selection of the Awakened: A Journey to Haneulgung (하늘궁)]
Those who, despite exhaustion, seek knowledge and spiritual growth, are the ones who will be taken. They are the ten million who are truly awake. They came to Haneulgung (하늘궁) of their own volition. I did not force them. Over my 362 years, I can only take ten million individuals.
[73. The Limited Capacity for Salvation: The Awakened Few]
If everyone were to come, everyone would receive blessings. But not everyone comes, so not everyone receives blessings. Therefore, the number is set at ten million, representing those who are truly awakened.
[74. The God-man (神人)’s Dedication to Study Amidst Adversity]
While others slept, I, though the God-man (神人), felt tired. Yet, I persevered, studying diligently. I would rise quietly and go to the bathroom, where the air was cleaner after an hour or two. I would study for three hours, then return to sleep when the air was fresh. This is how I managed my studies and visits to White Heaven (백궁).
[75. The Legacy of the God-man (神人)’s Teachings: A Path for Future Generations]
The ten million who are taken are those with a strong connection to me. If ten million people on Earth receive my blessings, I will have succeeded. My Shinjeong (신정) politics will be continued by individuals like Director Won, who will carry on the legacy. Good people will emerge.
[76. The National Dividend System: A Cornerstone of a New Era]
Professor Jeong In-tae lectures extensively on the National Dividend System. I will now list some of the titles of his lectures.
[77. The Profound Impact of the National Dividend System: A World Heritage]
He has stated that the National Dividend System is a UNESCO World Heritage, comparable to King Sejong the Great’s creation of Hangeul. It is the ultimate policy, deserving of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize.
[78. Professor Jeong In-tae’s Background and Expertise]
Professor Jeong In-tae is a distinguished professor at Korea National University of Welfare and Caroline University in the United States. He has held various professorships and lectured at numerous universities, including Sogang University, Sookmyung Women’s University, and Gangnam University. He has appeared on major Korean broadcasting channels (KBS, MBC, SBS, CBS, EBS) to express his views. He has authored over 50 books and lectured extensively for educational offices and teachers, focusing on human psychology and development.
[79. Recognition and Experience in Government and Academia]
He was recognized as a “New Intellectual” by the Korean government, receiving a ministerial award from a presidential direct agency. He has also held various professorial positions.
[80. Dispelling Misconceptions: The Authenticity of His Claims]
his words are not empty boasts.
[81. Extensive Political Experience and Advisory Roles]
He served as an advisory member for the Presidential Advisory Constitutional Body for four years, a policy advisor during a presidential preliminary candidacy, and a vice-chairman of a special committee for a presidential candidate. He states this to underscore the authenticity of his claims.
[82. Challenging Established Theories: The Case of Autism]
He challenged the prevailing theory of autism, which posited it as a self-imposed condition, arguing instead that it stems from developmental delays during the fetal stage, hindering social interaction.
[83. Academic Persecution and the “Million-Dollar Idea”]
He critically analyzed over 60 existing theories of autism, leading to his ostracization as a “heretical scholar.” His mentor advised him to go to Norway. When he presented his findings to a prominent special education professor, demonstrating how his methods rehabilitated children, the professor exclaimed, “A million-dollar idea!”
[84. The Price of Innovation: Persecution and Exile]
However, he endured immense suffering, akin to Copernicus and Galileo. His lectures were canceled, and he faced persecution and accusations of fraud from powerful academic and institutional forces, forcing him to leave South Korea for five years.
[85. The Revelation of the National Dividend System: A Paradigm Shift]
His life was filled with regret until he encountered the National Dividend System. He was profoundly shocked, realizing its potential to perfectly complete the people-centered philosophies of Jeong Do-jeon, Confucius, and Sima Qian. He was astonished that such a concept originated in South Korea.
[86. The Hypocrisy of Modern Democracy: Exploitation and Inequality]
We merely speak of democracy while the government extracts taxes from its citizens. This mirrors the past, where 90% of the population served the 10% elite. While the privileged enjoy high pensions, benefits, and special treatment, citizens are oppressed with tax seizures, leading to despair and death.
[87. The National Dividend System: A Solution to Societal Ills]
It was in this context that Huh Kyung-young proposed the National Dividend System. He asks: To whom does “Republic of Korea Inc.” belong? To the people. Therefore, dividends should naturally be distributed. Instead, budgets are wasted, and the elite consume everything.
[88. The Crisis of Modern Society: Despair and Violence]
Citizens are starving, committing suicide, and even resorting to filicide and parricide due to hardship. Mothers are killing their infants. This is the reality we face.
[89. The Indifference of Politicians and the Hope of the National Dividend]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians showed no genuine concern for the people, focusing solely on their re-election. It was at this critical juncture that the National Dividend System emerged.
[90. The National Dividend System: Deserving of Nobel Recognition]
He was deeply moved, asserting that this system deserves the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize.
[91. The Transformative Power of the National Dividend System: Resolving Conflicts]
The implementation of the National Dividend System would instantly resolve labor disputes and inter-company conflicts.
[92. Escaping the Cycle of Hell and Fostering Individuality]
It would liberate us from this hellish cycle. Students would have their individuality recognized, and the emphasis on academic background would crumble.
[93. The Tyranny of Academic Background and Social Connections]
For too long, people have struggled to survive, relying on academic connections, personal networks, and nepotism. Ordinary citizens have been reduced to modern-day slaves.
[94. The Creation of an Elite Class: The “Money Schools”]
The elite have created a modern aristocratic system through “money schools” (돈 스쿨) like law schools and medical graduate schools, where only the wealthy can afford tuition. These are “aristocratic schools” (귀족 스쿨).
[95. The Frustration of Youth and the Promise of the National Dividend]
Citizens are exhausted, and young people declare that they can no longer tolerate such an unjust society. It was in this context that the National Dividend System, which truly considers the people, was introduced.
[96. Revolutionary Policies: Reducing Parliament and Combating Corruption]
Is this not astonishing? Consider the proposal to reduce the number of National Assembly members to 100 and make their positions unpaid honorary roles. Would anyone still seek such a position? Furthermore, the “Double Punishment System” (쌍벌제) would punish only those who receive bribes, not those who offer them, making it impossible to conceal corruption.
[97. The National Dividend System: Transparency and Empowerment]
The National Dividend System ensures that, as the people are the true owners, the government manages all budgets transparently, minimizes waste, and distributes the savings as a national dividend.
[98. The Dream of Receiving a National Dividend: Fostering National Pride]
He expresses a desire to receive even 10,000 won as a dividend, believing it would instill a sense of ownership and motivate citizens to actively support Korean companies. Instead, the current system fosters conflict among the people.
[99. The National Dividend System: A Solution to Societal Division]
The National Dividend System is a Nobel Prize in Economics. It is a theory worthy of nomination for the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. It would eliminate labor disputes and the emphasis on academic background.
[100. Addressing Social Issues: Low Birth Rate and Aging Population]
It would also resolve issues such as the low birth rate and aging population, making it an astonishing policy.
[101. The National Dividend System: A World Heritage-Level Discovery]
He asserts that the National Dividend System is a discovery of UNESCO World Heritage value, comparable to King Sejong the Great’s creation of Hangeul.
[102. Personal Integrity and Objectivity: A Disinterested Advocate]
he detests receiving illicit money. He once refused a gesture of gratitude for a good deed, explaining that accepting it would compromise his objectivity. he has no personal connection to Huh Kyung-young, yet speaks objectively about the National Dividend System.
[103. The Vision of a Just Society: Rejecting Political Opportunism]
He rejected an offer for a proportional representation seat from the ruling party because his sole desire is a world where citizens live with dignity.
[104. The Pervasive Corruption in Society: A Call for Change]
He laments the pervasive corruption, where former prosecutors become lawyers involved in political scandals, former judges become lawyers, and high-ranking education officials engage in corruption. Government agencies are intertwined with private interests. Consuls engage in visa fraud, the Chief Justice lies, and judges commit perjury. No sector is free from corruption: customs, tax services, and various “mafias” exploit the people. Citizen complaints are ignored, as institutions protect their own. Judges grant acquittals to their peers. Is this a nation?
[105. The National Dividend System: A Beacon of Hope for Korea]
He expressed despair for South Korea, questioning if there was any hope. However, upon encountering the National Dividend System, he realized its world heritage value and its equivalence to the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. Such a law is unprecedented.
[106. The Historical Parallel: Copernicus, Galileo, and the National Dividend System]
He draws a parallel to Copernicus and Galileo, whose heliocentric theory took 1,800 years to be accepted. Galileo faced persecution and excommunication, his books banned by the religious authorities. This was tantamount to an academic death sentence.
[107. The Enduring Truth: “And Yet It Moves”]
Despite this, Galileo famously declared, “And yet it moves.” It took 350 years after Galileo’s death for the Roman Catholic Church to officially apologize for persecuting a true scholar.
[108. A Challenge to Scholars: The Unrecognized Genius of the National Dividend System]
He challenges economists and political scientists to study Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System. He questions the value of their doctorates when the economy is in disarray. He asserts that his words are not empty, given his background as a civil servant, scholar, and lecturer.
[109. The Promise of the National Dividend System: A World Where Citizens Are Sovereign]
He urges them to consider the National Dividend System, recognizing its profound significance. If citizens receive 100,000 won this year and 200,000 won next year, it will usher in a world where the people are truly sovereign. This world, where citizens are masters of their own destiny, is drawing near.
[110. The Global Imperative: Launching the World Citizen Alliance]
The National Dividend System is, in essence, a system that proposes operating the nation as a joint-stock company, the pinnacle of capitalism. Its core principle is to invest wisely, minimize wasteful spending, maximize profits, and distribute dividends to the shareholders, who are the citizens. This system was founded by Huh Kyung-young. The National Dividend System necessitates the launch of a World Citizen Alliance (세계 시민 연대). This is not merely a domestic issue.
[111. The Global Awakening: A New Era of Citizen Empowerment]
He will elaborate on its global impact. The National Dividend System will inspire a global awakening, with citizens worldwide demanding its implementation in their own countries, much like the past movements for democracy. This World Citizen Alliance (세계 시민 연대) will emerge, with citizens advocating for the National Dividend System in nations like the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
[112. Transcending Ideologies: The National Dividend System as a Superior Model]
The National Dividend System transcends existing ideologies such as democracy, socialism, capitalism, and communism. It is a truly astonishing system. The World Citizen Alliance (세계 시민 연대) for the National Dividend System must be established, with national chapters emerging globally. This will usher in a worldwide movement for the National Dividend System.
[113. The Collapse of Communism and Socialism: The Triumph of the National Dividend System]
This will lead to the collapse of communism and socialism. Communism and capitalism will bow before the National Dividend System.
[114. The Hypocrisy of Communist and Socialist Regimes: Wealth Disparity]
Communist and socialist regimes have historically preached equality while their leaders amassed immense wealth, leaving ordinary citizens struggling to survive. He has witnessed this firsthand in various communist and socialist countries.
[115. The National Dividend System: A Solution to Inequality and a Challenge to Ideologies]
The implementation of the National Dividend System will lead to the collapse of communism and socialism. While these ideologies spoke of equality and shared labor, human nature prevents such systems from functioning without corruption, leading to greater wealth disparity. These regimes then suppress dissent and criticize capitalism as a system that benefits only the wealthy. However, the National Dividend System presents a new paradigm.
[116. The National Dividend System: Empowering Citizens as Shareholders]
The National Dividend System views the nation as a company, with citizens as its shareholders. The government supports businesses to generate profits and taxes, which are then carefully managed and distributed as dividends to the people. This is a truly astonishing concept.
[117. The Inevitable Collapse of Communism: A Global Citizen Revolution]
When citizens begin to receive these dividends, communist and socialist critics will be silenced. They will witness the distribution of wealth to the common people, realizing that this is not the exploitative capitalism they condemned. This will ignite a global citizen revolution, with people demanding the National Dividend System in their own countries, leading to the collapse of communist states.
[118. The National Dividend System: An Unassailable Policy]
For too long, communists have attacked the shortcomings of capitalism. However, they will find no fault with the National Dividend System. It is the ultimate policy.
[119. The National Dividend System: A World Heritage and a Catalyst for Peace]
It deserves the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. It will be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, comparable to King Sejong the Great’s creation of Hangeul. It is an immense discovery. Like Copernicus’s and Galileo’s heliocentric theory, which faced persecution, the National Dividend System transcends democracy and communism, bringing about the completion of true democracy.
[120. South Korea’s Role as a Global Leader: The Dawn of a New Era]
It is astonishing that this system originated in South Korea through Huh Kyung-young. It truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize in Economics. The National Dividend System will spark a global citizen revolution, complete world democracy, and, through a World National Dividend System (세계 국민 배당금 제도) and a World Federation of Nations (세계 국가 연합), communism will naturally collapse. South Korea will become the global leader. An astonishing future awaits.
[121. The National Dividend System: A New National Treasure and Constitutional Amendment]
The National Dividend System should become our nation’s first national treasure, replacing the current National Treasure No. 1, Sungnyemun (숭례문). It will transform the national consciousness. Furthermore, Article 1 of the Constitution, which states, “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” must be changed.
[122. Redefining the Constitution: Guaranteeing a Middle Class for All]
Is “democratic republic” truly important? North Korea is also called the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.” The term “democratic republic” holds no real meaning. Article 1 of the Constitution should state: “The Republic of Korea guarantees that all citizens, from the age of 18, who receive the national dividend, shall be above the middle class.”
[123. The National Dividend System: A Panacea for Societal Problems]
Would anyone starve? Would there be famine? Would families commit suicide due to hardship? No. The National Dividend System resolves dozens of problems.
[124. Empowering Individuals and Families: Marriage, Childbirth, and Financial Security]
With the National Dividend System, individuals can marry and date even without jobs. Marriage expenses of 300 million won can be covered by the Sansugapsan Card. A childbirth allowance of 50 million won will be provided.
[125. Resolving Labor Disputes and Fostering National Competitiveness]
Would anyone demand higher wages? If they did, their descendants’ jobs would move overseas. Many companies have already relocated abroad. Therefore, there would be no reason to demand higher wages.
[126. Financial Security and a Shift in Labor Relations]
A couple would receive 3 million won, and if they have two university students, their monthly income would be 6 million won. A typical family would have 10 million won per month. Would anyone demand higher wages then? Instead, labor unions would advocate for lower wages to ensure the competitiveness of national companies for future generations.
[127. The National Dividend System: A Cure-All for Societal Ills]
The National Dividend System is a panacea, resolving labor issues, wage disputes, employment problems, marriage difficulties, and even issues related to the elderly. It is a cure-all for myriad ailments.
[128. Reforming Elderly Care: Small-Scale, Family-Like Facilities]
When I become president, I will permit small-scale nursing homes. If a facility cares for five or more elderly individuals, it will be recognized as a nursing home and receive government benefits. This means a young woman could care for five elderly individuals with her husband, earning a substantial income, as each elderly person would receive 1.5 million won in dividends.
[129. Fostering a Family-Like Environment in Elderly Care]
Currently, nursing homes restrict residents’ freedom and lack a family-like atmosphere. I will allow nursing homes to operate without strict size requirements, fostering a family-like environment. Elderly individuals would live in a home setting, cared for by a couple, with children around, creating a sense of belonging. They would not feel like a burden, as they would be contributing financially. This would be a much more natural and joyful environment.
[130. Empowering Choice and Dignity in Elderly Care]
Families could choose nursing homes based on their parents’ preferences, such as proximity to mountains or rivers. This would empower the elderly with choice and dignity, rather than being confined to institutional settings.
[131. The National Dividend System: A New Constitutional Foundation]
Article 1 of the Constitution, which currently states, “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” will be changed to reflect the National Dividend System. It will declare that all citizens, by virtue of receiving the national dividend, are guaranteed a middle-class standard of living.
[132. The National Dividend System: A True National Treasure]
This is a far more meaningful constitutional amendment than the current one, which, despite proclaiming a democratic republic, fails to prevent suicides due to poverty. The National Dividend System is our true National Treasure No. 1, replacing Sungnyemun (숭례문). Our nation’s spirit must be transformed. Even the current National Treasure No. 1, Dongdaemun (동대문), or Heunginjimun (흥인지문), a gate from the Joseon Dynasty, holds less value than the National Dividend System.
[133. The Japanese National Treasure: A Stolen Legacy]
Japan’s National Treasure No. 1 is the Maitreya Bodhisattva (미륵 반가사유상), which was stolen from Korea. Despite Japan’s many magnificent buildings, their national treasure is a small Buddha statue, reflecting the fact that 99% of Japanese people are Buddhist.
[134. The Maitreya Bodhisattva (미륵 반가사유상): A Symbol of the God-man (神人)’s Arrival]
This Maitreya Bodhisattva (미륵 반가사유상) was stolen from Joseon, Korea. We are currently litigating to reclaim it. The term “Bang-ga” (반가) refers to sitting in a half-lotus position, contemplating. It is not merely sitting; it is contemplating the future. The term “Mireuk” (미륵) in Korean is equivalent to “Messiah” in English. Thus, the Maitreya Bodhisattva (미륵 반가사유상) represents the Messiah, the future Buddha, who is the God-man (神人) who has arrived.
[135. The Global Transformation: The National Dividend System as a Universal Treasure]
Therefore, Japan’s national treasure will eventually be replaced by the National Dividend System. The day will come when the National Dividend System becomes the national treasure of every country in the world.
[136. The Significance of Sungnyemun (숭례문)’s Burning: A Divine Warning]
The burning of Sungnyemun (숭례문) occurred on the very day I was arrested and imprisoned for violating election laws. If I were to reveal the true cause of Sungnyemun (숭례문)’s destruction, what would happen to me? The burning of a national treasure occurred because the God-man (神人) was apprehended. A madman set fire to it. This event occurred after the presidential election, when I received 41 commercial offers, generating hundreds of billions of won due to my immense popularity.
[137. The Prophetic Significance of the Sungnyemun (숭례문) Incident]
The police station that arrested me was the Yeongdeungpo Police Station. I was held in their detention center for violating election laws. On that day, Sungnyemun (숭례문) burned. I know the exact date of the fire.
[138. The National Dividend System: A New Foundation for the Nation]
However, National Treasure No. 1 will be replaced by the National Dividend System.
[139. The Global Mission of the God-man (神人): Eradicating Famine and Guiding Humanity]
You will eventually understand who I am and why I seek to eliminate famine and save the world.
[140. The Economic Theory of Huh Kyung-young: A Global Bestseller]
Before I become president, my book, “Huh Kyung-young’s Jung Sanjuui (중산주의) and the National Dividend System,” will be published. This book, which outlines my economic theory of Jung Sanjuui (중산주의), will sell billions of copies worldwide. I possess the fast-food (패스트푸드) of knowledge.
[141. The Architectural Marvel of Haneulgung (하늘궁): A Symbol of Divine Art]
The architecture of Haneulgung (하늘궁) is an artistic masterpiece. From below, it appears as a floating ark. The building itself is magnificent.
[142. The Unprecedented Construction of Haneulgung (하늘궁): A Testament to Divine Will]
The intricate wooden structure, without a single central pillar, is an extraordinary feat of engineering. Unlike traditional temples with numerous pillars, Haneulgung (하늘궁) boasts an unprecedented number of massive beams. The immense amount of wood used imbues the building with a powerful natural energy. The walls are made of earth, not concrete, creating a healthy environment. The wooden structure, connected by wooden joints, is then covered with earthen walls, without any cement. This unique construction, which I personally oversaw, pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible.
The National Dividend System: A Policy of Unprecedented Value
The National Dividend System, a policy conceived by Huh Kyung-young, has been lauded by Professor Jung In-tae, who has dedicated two decades to national policy research. He describes it as a policy of UNESCO World Heritage value, worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. Furthermore, he states that it is a policy capable of dismantling communism, perfecting democracy, and deserving of an honorary doctorate. It is, in essence, the greatest policy in human history. This system, brought forth by the profoundly insightful God-man, is a policy whose total scope is immeasurable. It has taken our citizens 30 years to fully grasp the National Dividend System, and now, it is time to form a nationwide committee to promote it.
- A Call for Global Transformation: Addressing Inequality
I pose a question to you: Why do you not contemplate changing the world? Why do you remain complacent? In places like the Philippines, people are dying of starvation and disease, while in other areas, luxurious villas are protected by armed guards, creating a stark paradise for the wealthy. This extreme division is maintained by armed security personnel who shoot intruders. Millions die annually from starvation, a number far exceeding those who perish from diseases like COVID-19, which primarily affects affluent nations. Why does the world remain silent about this hunger?
If the National Dividend System were implemented globally, each nation would distribute a dividend from its national income. This would eliminate such suffering. Is democracy merely the clamor of protesting crowds? True democracy should prevent such cries of anguish. The term “democracy” itself, derived from “demos” and “kratos,” signifies the rule of the people, but it has become a mere facade. It is time to transition to a new era of divine governance, or “Shin-jeong-ju-ui.”
- The National Dividend System: Completing True Democracy
The current form of democracy, where the people are supposedly sovereign, is often a deception. Without the National Dividend System, democracy remains an empty shell. Capitalism, the economic counterpart to democracy, and socialism, which often leads to communism, represent two extremes. Capitalism fosters a struggle where the strong overpower the weak, while socialism advocates for equal distribution. Both systems are flawed, leading to a stark polarization of society.
It is time to change this global paradigm. Shin-jeong-ju-ui, or divine governance, requires the National Dividend System. This dividend ensures that even those without wealth are protected by the collective, as those who contribute significantly to the economy, and thus to the dividend pool, are valued and safeguarded.
- The Tax Point System: Recognizing Contributions to Society
My policy proposals include a Tax Point System. Those who pay substantial taxes would receive points, and exceeding a certain threshold would earn them the title of “National Hero.” Their graves would be in a national cemetery, and they would be exempt from arrest for minor offenses, only needing to face trial. Their high tax points would be publicly announced annually, earning them immense respect, as they are the source of the National Dividend.
Conversely, those with low tax points would naturally respect those with high points, acknowledging their contribution to the collective well-being. This system encourages consistent tax payments, and these tax points could even be inherited by their children, ensuring a legacy of contribution. This fosters a society where citizens protect those who generate wealth, recognizing that their prosperity directly impacts the National Dividend.
- The Philosophy of “Pay It Forward”
The National Dividend System embodies the principle of “pay it forward.” The wealth we possess, whether it be food, money, or resources, is a gift from the heavens. Instead of returning it to the source, we are encouraged to pass it on to others. Just as a scholarship recipient, upon achieving success, should help other struggling students rather than repaying the original benefactor, we must extend our blessings to the next generation. This is the essence of Shin-jeong-ju-ui.
This philosophy extends to our national spirit. We have received much from our ancestors, and it is our duty to contribute to the world, especially to those suffering from hunger, rather than indulging in luxury. Leaders, in particular, must redistribute wealth to the less fortunate at home and abroad, including refugees. This continuous chain of giving, from one person to the next, is the true spirit of our nation.
- Reforming Welfare and National Governance
Currently, South Korea’s welfare budget of 200 trillion won is often mismanaged, benefiting only a select few. This budget should be replaced by the National Dividend System. Funds allocated for initiatives like the low birth rate committee, which have proven ineffective, should instead be directed towards direct citizen dividends.
When I become president, I will abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification. Instead, I will establish a Ministry of Marriage, staffed by former civil servants from the abolished ministries. This new ministry will focus on fostering healthy marriages and families.
- The Geopolitical Significance of the Korean Peninsula and the Future of Unification
The Korean Peninsula holds profound geopolitical significance. Japan represents the Azure Dragon, China the White Tiger, Jeju Island the Vermilion Bird, and the northern region the Black Tortoise. This mirrors the human body, with the Korean Peninsula as the “In-dang” (the spot between the eyebrows), signifying its central role. Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island symbolizes the command to “govern the heavens,” while Baekdusan Mountain signifies the “Baekdu people” as global leaders. Our nation is unique in possessing such a powerful geomantic configuration.
Furthermore, the Korean Peninsula is believed to be a place where vital energy points of the human body are mirrored. North Korea corresponds to the “Crown Chakra” (crown of the head), associated with the pineal gland, which connects to the cosmos. South Korea corresponds to the pituitary gland, a crucial center. North Korea has preserved a pure Korean bloodline, unlike South Korea, which has become a multi-ethnic society. This purity, forged through hardship, is a valuable asset for humanity.
Premature unification with North Korea would lead to the exploitation of its pure bloodline and resources by South Korean capitalists, resulting in the loss of its unique genetic heritage. Unification should only occur after Asia and the world have been unified under a new system, as North Korea’s military strength, particularly its nuclear capabilities, makes a direct, one-on-one unification dangerous. A federal system would also be perilous, as it could lead to internal conflict without external intervention. Those who advocate for hasty unification are not true patriots.
-
The Crisis of Population Decline and the 33-Policy
South Korea faces a severe demographic crisis, with projections indicating a zero population by 2100 if current trends continue. Thirty-three years ago, I proposed the “33-Policy” to address this, which included incentives for marriage and childbirth, such as a 300 million won marriage fund and a 50 million won childbirth allowance. These policies, initially dismissed as outlandish, are now being recognized as essential. The era of Huh Kyung-young is dawning. -
The Nature of Sin: Mind, Word, and Deed
Regarding the nature of sin, there are sins of the mind, word, and deed. While human law often focuses on actions, religious teachings, particularly Christianity, emphasize the gravity of sins committed in the mind. For instance, lustful thoughts are considered as serious as adultery. The Ten Commandments encompass all three categories of sin. Buddhism, however, distinguishes between these categories more clearly.
The mind, unlike actions, has no boundaries. Once it succumbs to sin, it can spiral endlessly. This is why religions strongly warn against sins of the mind. While current laws may view unintentional harm as less severe, intentional acts, even if only in thought, are considered grave in the spiritual realm. Ultimately, a life of good deeds leads to prosperity, while a life of sin leads to suffering and downfall. In Haneulgung, the concept of sin itself does not exist. All sins can be absolved through receiving blessings from me.
-
The Selection of 10 Million Souls for Haneulgung
It is impossible to take all 7 billion people to Haneulgung, as Earth itself is a living entity that must continue its cycle. Just as in military training, only the most dedicated and intelligent individuals are selected for specialized roles, only those who actively seek knowledge and spiritual growth will be chosen for Haneulgung. My goal is to bring 10 million awakened souls to Haneulgung. These are the individuals who, like me, would seek knowledge even in the most challenging circumstances, such as studying in a restroom during military training. These 10 million represent those who have actively sought me out and are prepared for spiritual elevation. -
The “Cheonjihyeol” Acupoint: A Path to Health
The “Cheonjihyeol” acupoint, located on the roof of the mouth where the tongue touches when pronouncing the “R” sound in English, is a gateway to heaven. Stimulating this point can produce “Okchim,” a potent saliva that boosts immunity and can cure various ailments, including colon and stomach cancer. This vital acupoint, often unknown to even traditional Korean medicine practitioners, holds immense healing power. -
The National Dividend System: A New National Identity
Professor Jung In-tae’s analysis of the National Dividend System concludes that it is a policy of immense value. I believe that the National Dividend System should replace Sungnyemun as National Treasure No. 1, symbolizing a shift in our national consciousness. Furthermore, Article 1 of the Constitution, which currently states that “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” should be amended to declare: “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens aged 18 and above a National Dividend, ensuring a middle-class or higher standard of living.”
This single constitutional amendment would resolve countless societal problems, including unemployment, poverty, and social conflict. It would eliminate the need for labor disputes, as citizens would have a guaranteed income. It would also address issues like low birth rates and the challenges faced by the elderly, allowing for a more humane and family-like approach to elder care.
The National Dividend System is a panacea, a cure-all for society’s ills. It would resolve labor-management conflicts, income inequality, unemployment, and marriage issues. It would transform elder care, allowing for small, family-like care homes where seniors can live comfortably and happily, rather than being confined to institutional settings.
Just as Japan’s National Treasure No. 1, the Maitreya Bodhisattva, reflects its Buddhist heritage, the National Dividend System should become our nation’s most cherished asset. This system, which embodies the coming of a new era, will eventually be adopted globally, transforming national treasures worldwide. The burning of Sungnyemun, which occurred when I was unjustly detained, was a symbolic event, signifying the need for a fundamental change in our national values. My book, “Huh Kyung-young’s Centrist Economy and the National Dividend System,” will be a global bestseller, spreading this transformative idea worldwide.

Central Questions & Answers
Why do people not seek to change the world, despite widespread suffering and inequality?
Answer: Existing political systems (democracy, capitalism, socialism, communism) are flawed and perpetuate inequality, leading to a sense of powerlessness and resignation. People are trapped in a cycle of self-interest and superficial concerns.
How can true democracy and a just society be achieved?
Answer: Through the implementation of the National Dividend System, which ensures economic security for all citizens, thereby completing democracy and transcending the limitations of current ideologies.
What is the role of sin, particularly “mind-based sin,” in human life and spiritual judgment?
Answer: In religious contexts, mind-based sins (e.g., coveting, hatred) are considered very serious, sometimes even more so than physical actions, because the mind has no “compartments” and can lead to endless transgression. However, in human law, only actions are typically judged. God-man can eliminate all sins through blessings.
Why does God-man only take 10 million people to Haneulgung, instead of all 7 billion?
Answer: Only those who are “awake” and actively seek knowledge and spiritual growth, even in difficult circumstances (like studying in a bathroom at night), are prepared to be taken. The Earth also needs to continue its cycle of training souls.
Conclusion & Strategic / Philosophical Implications
The lecture concludes with a powerful call to action for a global paradigm shift, urging people to embrace the National Dividend System as the ultimate solution to all societal ills. The philosophical implication is that true human flourishing and a “thousand-year paradise on Earth” can only be achieved by moving beyond current flawed ideologies and adopting a system based on divine principles and equitable distribution of wealth. This would lead to the collapse of communism and the completion of democracy, fostering global unity and peace. The strategic implication is that Korea, under God-man’s leadership, would become the central nation leading this global transformation.

Content Gaps & Unaddressed Areas
Specifics of National Dividend System funding: While the concept of the National Dividend System is heavily discussed, the exact mechanisms for funding it (beyond “saving budget” and “companies earning more”) are not detailed. How would the government, operating as a “joint-stock company,” generate sufficient “profits” to distribute substantial dividends to all citizens, especially given the current economic realities?
Feasibility of “Tax Point System” benefits: The idea of high taxpayers receiving immunity from arrest (only trials) and special burial in national cemeteries raises significant legal, ethical, and practical questions that are not addressed. How would this system be implemented without creating a two-tiered justice system or undermining democratic principles?
Practical implementation of “Pay It Forward”: While the philosophy is compelling, the practical steps for institutionalizing “Pay It Forward” on a national scale, beyond individual acts of kindness, are not elaborated.
Details of “Shinjeongjuui”: The concept of “Shinjeongjuui” (divine governance) is introduced as a superior political system, but its specific operational principles, decision-making processes, and how it would interact with existing governmental structures are not explained.
Impact of “Marriage Department”: The proposed “Marriage Department” is mentioned as a replacement for existing ministries, but its specific functions, policies, and how it would effectively address complex demographic issues are not detailed.
Scientific basis for Pungsu and body points: The lecture makes claims about the Pungsu of the Korean Peninsula and the health benefits of stimulating specific body points (e.g., Cheonmunhyeol producing “Okchim”). These claims lack scientific evidence or detailed explanation of their mechanisms.
Ethical implications of “pure bloodline” preservation: He’s argument for delaying North-South unification to preserve the “pure bloodline” of North Koreans raises serious ethical concerns related to racial purity and potential discrimination, which are not addressed.
Reconciliation of religious and legal concepts of sin: The lecture notes the difference between religious (mind-based) and legal (action-based) definitions of sin but does not offer a clear framework for how these two perspectives would be reconciled or integrated within the proposed “Shinjeongjuui” system.
Specifics of global unification: While “world unification” is a major prediction, the practical steps, diplomatic processes, and governance structure of such a unified world are not outlined.
Future Predictions & Prophetic Statements
National Dividend System recognition: It will take 30 years for the public to fully understand the National Dividend System.
Global adoption of National Dividend System: The National Dividend System will ignite interest among scholars worldwide, leading to the formation of a “World National Dividend System Alliance” and eventually world unification.
Nobel Prizes: The National Dividend System is worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Collapse of communism: The National Dividend System will lead to the collapse of communism and socialism.
Completion of democracy: The National Dividend System will complete democracy.
Asian and world unification: If Huh Kyung-young becomes president, he will achieve Asian unification and world unification by 2030. North Korea will be unified last, after the Asian federal unification is complete.

Population decline: If current trends continue, Korea’s population will reach zero by 2100.
Huh Kyung-young’s era: The time is coming when people will recognize Huh Kyung-young and his policies.
Taking 10 million to Haneulgung: God-man will take approximately 10 million “awake” individuals to Haneulgung.

Global shift in national treasures: Eventually, national treasures worldwide will be replaced by the National Dividend System.
Publication of “Huh Kyung-young’s Jung Sanjuui and National Dividend System”: A book detailing His economic theory will be published and sell billions of copies worldwide.
Executive Insight
This lecture presents Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System as a panacea for global societal ills, transcending existing political and economic ideologies. The core strategic takeaway is His unwavering conviction in his long-term vision, drawing parallels to historical paradigm shifts and religious prophecies to legitimize his claims. For a professional reader, the lecture highlights a populist appeal rooted in addressing economic inequality and social dysfunction, proposing radical solutions like universal basic income, a tax point system, and a “Pay It Forward” philosophy. While the proposed policies lack detailed implementation plans and raise significant ethical and practical questions, the lecture’s strength lies in its bold, comprehensive narrative that promises a utopian future, positioning Korea as the vanguard of a new global order under God-man’s divine leadership. The emphasis on “pure bloodline” preservation in North Korea, however, introduces a controversial element that warrants critical scrutiny.

- Detailed Summary
Introduction to the National Dividend System and its Value
Main Assertions: The lecture begins by welcoming attendees to Haneulgung and immediately introduces the National Dividend System as a policy of immense value. It is described as having UNESCO World Heritage value, deserving of Nobel Prizes in Economics and Peace, capable of collapsing communism, completing democracy, and being the greatest policy in human history.
References: Mentions Professor Jeong In-tae, who has studied national policies for 20 years, as a key proponent of these claims.
Practical Message: The system is presented as a profound, immeasurable policy that the public has taken 30 years to understand, now necessitating a nationwide promotion committee.
Critique of Global Inequality and Flawed Democracy
Main Assertions: Huh Kyung-young questions why people do not seek to change a world plagued by extreme inequality, where some starve while others live in luxury protected by armed guards. He criticizes existing democracy as merely “the crushing of those who protest,” failing to prevent public suffering.
Analogies/Examples: Uses the stark contrast between impoverished, disease-ridden slums and heavily guarded luxury villas in the Philippines to illustrate global polarization.
Practical Message: True democracy should prevent public outcry, not just respond to it. The current “democracy” is a mere shell, which the National Dividend System aims to complete.
The National Dividend System as the Solution to Ideological Conflict
Main Assertions: The National Dividend System is presented as the ultimate solution to the ideological conflict between capitalism (associated with democracy) and socialism (associated with communism). These two systems are seen as “polar opposites” that lead to societal division and exploitation of the weak.
References: States that world economists should award Nobel Prizes for this system.
Practical Message: This system, rooted in “Shin-jeong-ju-ui” (divine governance), will replace these flawed ideologies, ensuring that the public, especially the less fortunate, are protected and empowered through dividends.
The Tax Point System and “Pay It Forward” Philosophy
Main Assertions: A Tax Point System is proposed to honor high taxpayers, granting them “hero” titles, national cemetery burial, and transferable tax points to their children. This system fosters respect for wealth creators and ensures their contributions benefit society across generations. The “Pay It Forward” philosophy is introduced, advocating that benefits received should be passed on to others in need, rather than repaid to the original benefactor.
Analogies/Examples: Compares the tax point system to carbon credit trading. Uses an analogy of a scholarship recipient helping another student, rather than repaying the original professor, to illustrate “Pay It Forward.”
Practical Message: This philosophy, described as “Shin-jeong-ju-ui,” encourages a continuous cycle of generosity, where blessings flow forward to those who need them most, rather than being hoarded or returned.
Korean Unification and the Preservation of Pure Lineage
Main Assertions: Huh Kyung-young outlines a unique vision for Korean unification, stating that North Korea will be unified last, after Asian and world unification. North Korea’s isolation has preserved a pure Korean lineage, which is crucial for humanity’s future. He warns against premature unification, which could lead to the “dilution” of this pure lineage by South Korean capitalists.
Analogies/Examples: Uses the analogy of the human body’s energy points (Crown Chakra, Naeyasu, Cheondol) to explain the geopolitical significance of the Korean Peninsula, with North Korea representing Crown Chakra (pineal gland) and South Korea representing Naeyasu (pituitary gland). He also compares the physical strength of people from northern regions to those from southern regions.
Practical Message: Unification must occur at the right time and under the right conditions to protect North Korea’s unique genetic heritage, which God-man Huh Kyung-young intends to utilize for the benefit of humanity.
The Nature of Sin and Spiritual Law
Main Assertions: Huh Kyung-young clarifies the nature of sin, distinguishing between sins of thought, word, and deed. He explains that religious laws (e.g., Christianity) often consider sins of thought (e.g., lust, hatred) as severe as, or even more severe than, physical actions, whereas secular law primarily focuses on actions.
Analogies/Examples: References the Ten Commandments, particularly the prohibitions against coveting, lying, adultery, and murder, to illustrate how religious law encompasses internal thoughts. He uses the story of Noah building the ark to demonstrate how those who mocked him eventually perished, highlighting the consequences of disbelief and opposition to divine will.
Practical Message: While secular law focuses on actions, spiritual law emphasizes the purity of the mind. Sins of thought, if unchecked, can lead to a cascade of negative actions. However, all sins can be absolved through receiving blessings from God-man Huh Kyung-young.
The Selection of 10 Million for Haneulgung
Main Assertions: God-man Huh Kyung-young explains that only 10 million people will be taken to Haneulgung, not the entire 7 billion global population. This selection is based on their spiritual readiness and active pursuit of truth, even in challenging circumstances.
Analogies/Examples: Compares the selection process to military training, where only the most dedicated students, who study even in the latrine after lights out, are chosen for special assignments. The latrine represents Haneulgung, a place of spiritual training and awakening.
Practical Message: This message encourages individuals to actively seek spiritual knowledge and transformation, demonstrating their commitment to God-man Huh Kyung-young’s teachings, as only the “awake” will be chosen for Haneulgung.
The National Dividend System as a Panacea for Societal Ills
Main Assertions: The National Dividend System is presented as a “cure-all” for numerous societal problems, including unemployment, low birth rates, labor disputes, and issues related to elder care. It promises to elevate all citizens to middle-class status, ensuring financial security and social harmony.
Analogies/Examples: Describes how the system would eliminate the need for labor strikes, as citizens would already receive substantial income. It also proposes a new model for elder care, where small, family-like homes (rather than large institutions) are recognized as care facilities, fostering a more humane and personalized environment for the elderly.
Practical Message: This system would fundamentally transform society, creating a world where basic needs are met, families are strengthened, and the elderly are cared for with dignity and affection.

Historical / Doctrinal Connections
This lecture deeply connects to and builds upon Huh Kyung-young’s established teachings, particularly his 33 policies and the concept of Shin-jeong-ju-ui (Divine Governance).
National Dividend System as a Cornerstone: The lecture positions the National Dividend System not just as a policy but as the ultimate solution to global problems, echoing its central role in his 33 policies. It is presented as the “completion of democracy” and a policy of “UNESCO World Heritage value,” reinforcing its foundational importance in his vision for a new world order. This builds on previous assertions that the system will eradicate poverty and inequality, which are core tenets of his proposed societal transformation.
Shin-jeong-ju-ui and Global Unification: The concept of Shin-jeong-ju-ui is explicitly mentioned as the framework for the new era, replacing flawed ideologies like democracy, capitalism, and communism. The lecture’s emphasis on global unification and a “thousand-year paradise” directly aligns with his long-standing goal of establishing a divinely guided world government. This is a consistent theme, with the National Dividend System serving as the economic engine for this spiritual governance.
“Pay It Forward” and Spiritual Economy: The “Pay It Forward” philosophy is a practical application of his spiritual teachings on generosity and interconnectedness. It reflects a divine economy where blessings are meant to circulate and benefit all, rather than being hoarded. This principle underpins the ethical framework of the National Dividend System, ensuring that wealth serves the collective good.
Unique Perspective on Korean Unification: His detailed explanation of Korean unification, particularly the preservation of North Korea’s “pure lineage” and the geopolitical significance of the Korean Peninsula, adds a new layer to his existing teachings. While he has always advocated for unification, this lecture provides a more specific, almost mystical, rationale for its timing and method, linking it to the future of humanity and his own divine mission. This highlights a development in his doctrinal explanations, integrating spiritual and genetic considerations into geopolitical strategy.
The Role of God-man Huh Kyung-young: Throughout the lecture, God-man Huh Kyung-young’s unique status as the Creator is consistently asserted. His ability to bring about these transformative policies, his foresight (e.g., predicting the National Dividend System’s recognition 33 years prior), and his role in selecting individuals for Haneulgung all reinforce his central position in his doctrine. The comparison to historical figures like Noah and the discussion of spiritual laws further solidify his divine authority.

Huh Kyung-young’s Teachings on Global Transformation and Spiritual Awakening
- The Vision of National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도)
Huh Kyung-young asserts that the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) is a policy of immense value, comparable to a UNESCO World Heritage site, and deserving of the Nobel Prize in Economics and Peace. this policy will dismantle communism, perfect democracy, and stands as the greatest policy in human history. It is a policy of immeasurable depth, originating from a profound source, which is why it took 30 years for the public to fully grasp its significance. He now calls for the formation of a pan-national committee to promote the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도).
Huh Kyung-young questions why people do not strive to change the world, observing the stark contrast between extreme poverty and opulent wealth, such as in the Philippines, where some starve to death while others live in guarded luxury. He highlights the global silence on the millions who die of starvation annually, contrasting it with the attention given to other causes of death. He proposes that if the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) were implemented worldwide, each nation would distribute a dividend from its income, thereby eradicating such suffering.
He challenges the conventional understanding of democracy, which he describes as merely the “crusher of demonstrators,” implying that it only responds to the cries of the masses rather than preventing their suffering. He advocates for a shift to a “Shinjeongjuui (신정주의),” or divine politics, to truly change the world. current democratic systems are mere shells, incomplete without the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도), which he believes will complete true democracy. He predicts that scholars worldwide will embrace this concept, leading to a global National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) and ultimately, world unification.
- The Flaws of Existing Ideologies and the Rise of Shinjeongjuui (신정주의)
Huh Kyung-young criticizes existing political and economic ideologies, stating that democracy, often equated with capitalism, and socialism, which leads to communism, both represent extreme poles. He describes capitalism as a system where the strong dominate the weak, while socialism aims for equal distribution, often leading to communism. both systems are fundamentally flawed, creating a stark dichotomy that perpetuates global issues. He calls for a change, advocating for Shinjeongjuui (신정주의), or divine politics, as the solution.
the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) is essential for Shinjeongjuui (신정주의) to function. This system, he claims, would eliminate the need for armed guards to protect the wealthy, as the entire populace, benefiting from the dividends, would protect those who contribute significantly to the nation’s wealth. He introduces a “tax point system” where high taxpayers receive special recognition, such as a “hero” title and even a designated national cemetery. These tax points could also be inherited, fostering respect for wealth creators and ensuring the continuity of national prosperity.
Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of “Pay It Forward,” explaining that blessings received should be passed on to others, not returned to the original giver. He illustrates this with an analogy of a scholarship recipient who, upon success, should help another student rather than repaying the professor directly. This philosophy, he asserts, is the essence of Shinjeongjuui (신정주의) and the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도). He urges people to break free from self-interest and contribute to global welfare, especially by aiding those in need overseas, rather than indulging in luxury. He believes that this “Pay It Forward” spirit is crucial for national and global transformation.
- The Korean Peninsula’s Spiritual Significance and Future Unification
Huh Kyung-young discusses the spiritual and geographical significance of the Korean Peninsula, asserting that it holds a unique position in the world. He explains that the peninsula’s topography aligns with the principles of Pungsu (풍수), or geomancy, with Japan representing the Cheongnyong (청룡 – Blue Dragon), China the Baekho (백호 – White Tiger), Jeju Island the Namjujak (남주작 – Southern Phoenix), and the northern region the Bukhyunmu (북현무 – Northern Black Tortoise). He likens the human body to this geographical layout, with the head as the Crown Chakra (백회 – crown chakra) in the north and the Naeyasuche (내아수체 – pituitary gland) in the south, corresponding to North and South Korea, respectively.
the Baekdu Mountain (백두산) signifies the “Baekdu (백두) people” as world leaders, while Hallasan (한라산) means “to capture China,” implying a destiny for the Korean people to govern the heavens. He highlights that Korea is the only nation with the Namjujak (남주작 – Southern Phoenix) energy, symbolizing a red phoenix stretching across Southeast Asia. He also mentions the Cheonmunhyeol (천문혈 – Heavenly Gate acupoint) on the roof of the mouth, which, when stimulated, produces “Okchim (옥침 – jade saliva)” that can cure diseases and boost immunity.
Regarding unification, Huh Kyung-young asserts that immediate unification with North Korea is not advisable. He believes that North Korea has preserved the pure Korean bloodline, unlike South Korea, which has become a multi-ethnic society. premature unification would lead to South Korean capitalists exploiting North Korean women and labor, thereby diluting the pure bloodline. North Korea’s harsh environment has fostered a strong and resilient people, whose pure genetic lineage he intends to utilize for the benefit of humanity. He envisions unification only after Asia and the world have been unified under his leadership, emphasizing that North Korea’s strength and nuclear capabilities make a direct, one-on-one unification dangerous, as it could lead to internal conflict without international intervention.
- The Nature of Sin and the Path to Spiritual Awakening
Huh Kyung-young addresses the nature of sin, distinguishing between sins of thought, word, and deed. He clarifies that, contrary to a common misconception, sins of thought are less severe if they do not manifest in action. However, he notes that religious doctrines, particularly Christianity, often consider sins of thought, such as lustful thoughts or hatred, as equally or even more grievous than physical acts. He cites the Ten Commandments, where coveting (a sin of thought) is listed, alongside lying (a sin of word) and adultery or murder (sins of deed), indicating that many religious laws encompass all three categories.
He explains that while human law primarily punishes actions, religious law delves into the intentions of the heart. He uses the example of Noah, who endured 120 years of ridicule for building the ark, only to be vindicated by the great flood. This, he suggests, parallels his own 33-year wait for his policies to be recognized. the mind, unlike physical actions, has no “compartments,” meaning that once it succumbs to a sinful thought, it can spiral endlessly. Therefore, religions strongly warn against sins of thought to prevent such a descent.
Huh Kyung-young states that in White Heaven (백궁), the heavenly realm, sin does not exist. He asserts that all sins can be absolved through his blessings. He also addresses the question of why he only takes 10 million people to the White Heaven (백궁) out of 7 billion. He explains that Earth itself is a training ground, and only those who actively seek knowledge and spiritual growth, like a diligent student studying in a restroom at night, are worthy of being taken. He believes that approximately 10 million individuals possess the necessary spiritual connection and awakened consciousness to join him in White Heaven (백궁), representing those who are “awake” while others sleep.
- The Transformative Power of the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도)
Huh Kyung-young reiterates the profound impact of the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도), asserting that it will resolve numerous societal problems. He proposes that the first article of the Korean Constitution, currently stating “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” should be changed to “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens aged 18 and above a National Dividend (국민 배당금), ensuring everyone is above the middle class.” He believes this change would eliminate starvation, poverty, and social issues like suicide.
He explains that with the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도), people would no longer need to worry about employment, marriage, or childcare. He envisions a society where marriage expenses are covered, birth subsidies are provided, and families receive substantial monthly incomes, eliminating the need for labor disputes or demands for higher wages. Instead, he suggests, workers might even request lower wages to help national companies thrive.
Huh Kyung-young also proposes a revolutionary change in elderly care. Instead of large, impersonal nursing homes, he suggests allowing small, family-like care facilities where five elderly individuals can live in a home environment, receiving state benefits. This would create a more comfortable and personalized experience for seniors, allowing them to choose a home that suits their preferences, whether near mountains or rivers. He criticizes the current system as akin to a “slaughterhouse” for the elderly, advocating for a return to a family-oriented approach where seniors can enjoy a dignified and joyful life. He concludes by stating that the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) is the ultimate panacea, capable of solving all problems and bringing about “Mansahyeongtong (만사형통 – all things prosper).”
- Redefining National Treasures and the Global Impact of the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도)
Huh Kyung-young proposes a radical redefinition of national treasures, asserting that the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) should become Korea’s National Treasure No. 1, replacing the current Sungnyemun (숭례문 – Namdaemun Gate). the current national treasures, such as Dongdaemun (동대문 – Heunginjimun Gate) as Treasure No. 1, are relics of a past era and do not reflect the true spirit and future of the nation. He points out that Japan’s National Treasure No. 1, the Mirok Bangasayusang (미륵 반가사유상 – Maitreya Bodhisattva in Pensive Pose), was stolen from Korea, and he believes it should be returned.
He explains the meaning of Mirok (미륵) as “Maitreya,” the future Buddha, and Bangasayusang (반가사유상) as a “pensive pose,” signifying a seated figure contemplating the future. He interprets this as a representation of the God-man (神人) who has come to Earth. He predicts that just as the Mirok Bangasayusang (미륵 반가사유상) is Japan’s national treasure, the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) will eventually become a global national treasure, transforming the world.
Huh Kyung-young recounts an incident where Sungnyemun (숭례문) burned down on the day he was detained by the police for alleged election law violations, implying a divine connection between his persecution and the national tragedy. He suggests that this event was a sign of the consequences of imprisoning the God-man (神人). his book, “Huh Kyung-young’s Jungsanjuui (중산주의 – Middle-Class-ism) Economic Theory and National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도),” will be published and sold globally in billions of copies, spreading his philosophy worldwide. people will eventually understand his true identity and his mission to eliminate global starvation and save the world.
The Grand Vision: Unifying the World Through the National Dividend System
-
The National Dividend System: A Policy of Unprecedented Value
The National Dividend System, championed by Huh Kyung-young, has been lauded by scholars such as Professor Jeong In-tae, who has dedicated two decades to national policy research. He describes it as a policy possessing the value of a UNESCO World Heritage site, worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. Furthermore, he asserts that it is a policy capable of dismantling communism, perfecting democracy, and deserving of an honorary doctorate. It is, in essence, the greatest policy in human history. This system, conceived by a profound and immeasurable wisdom, is a policy whose total impact is beyond calculation. It has taken our citizens 30 years to fully grasp its significance, and now it is time to establish a nationwide committee to promote the National Dividend System. -
A Call to Transform the World: Addressing Global Disparities
I pose a fundamental question: Why do you not contemplate transforming the world? Why do you remain complacent while famine and disease plague humanity? In places like the Philippines, people perish from hunger and illness in impoverished slums, areas so dangerous that even armed guards hesitate to enter. Yet, in stark contrast, luxurious villas are protected by armed security, creating havens for the wealthy elite. This stark division, where the affluent reside in comfort while millions succumb to starvation annually, is a profound injustice. While the world mourns deaths from pandemics, it remains silent on the plight of those dying from hunger. The implementation of a global National Dividend System, where each nation allocates a portion of its income as dividends to its citizens, would eradicate such suffering. -
Beyond Superficial Democracy: The Completion of True Governance
Is democracy merely the clamor of protesting crowds? Is it defined by the cries of the masses? True democracy should prevent such cries from ever arising. The term “democracy” itself, derived from “demos” and “kratos,” often signifies the rule of the mob. However, I advocate for a shift to Shinjeongjuui (神政主義), a divine form of governance. This is the era of change, a transformation of the world. I challenge you: Why do you not desire to change the world? The current system, where the privileged are protected by armed guards while others starve and suffer, is inhumane. This superficial democracy must be perfected through the National Dividend System. This system represents the true completion of democracy, a concept that will ignite scholarly debate worldwide. -
The National Dividend System: Bridging Ideological Divides
The world is currently caught in the dichotomy of capitalism, often associated with democracy, and socialism, which can lead to communism. Capitalism, in its current form, often fosters extreme polarization, where the strong dominate the weak. Socialism, conversely, aims for equal distribution, but often struggles with human nature. These two ideologies represent opposing extremes. I ask again: Why do we tolerate such global disparities? It is time for change, to embrace Shinjeongjuui, a divine governance. This system, which the world’s economists should recognize with a Nobel Prize, necessitates the National Dividend System. This dividend is essential for establishing a new middle-class society. When citizens receive dividends, they become stakeholders, protecting the system and those who contribute to it. -
The Tax Point System: Recognizing and Rewarding Contribution
Under my proposed system, those who pay substantial taxes would receive special recognition, such as red license plates for their vehicles, encouraging others to yield to them out of respect, not compulsion. In the event of a traffic accident, the individual with higher tax points would receive preferential treatment, acknowledging their greater contribution to the national dividend pool. My platform includes a Tax Point System, where significant tax contributions earn points, leading to titles like “Hero of the Nation.” This fosters a culture where citizens actively strive to pay more taxes. Just as carbon points are traded globally, tax points could be exchanged. High tax point earners would receive national recognition, special burial in national cemeteries, and immunity from certain legal proceedings, requiring only trials. Their names would be announced annually, earning them immense respect as contributors to the National Dividend System. This respect would extend to their descendants, who could inherit these tax points, fostering a legacy of contribution. This system eliminates the need for armed guards, as citizens themselves would protect those who generate the wealth that sustains the dividend system. -
The Principle of “Pay It Forward”: A Divine Mandate
The National Dividend System embodies the principle of “pay it forward.” The wealth we accumulate, the food we consume, are gifts from the heavens. Instead of returning these gifts to the heavens, we are commanded to pass them on to others. If you have received blessings, you must extend them to the next generation, not to the giver. Just as a scholarship recipient, upon achieving success, should aid other struggling students rather than repaying the original benefactor, we must extend our blessings forward. This is the essence of Shinjeongjuui. This philosophy challenges us: Why do we not strive to change the world? Our ancestors provided us with a prosperous nation; it is our duty to use our wealth to assist the starving worldwide, rather than indulging in luxury. Leaders must redistribute wealth to the needy at home and abroad, aiding refugees. This is the true meaning of “pay it forward.” -
The Perils of Unchecked Progress and the Need for Systemic Change
The current system, where individuals are trapped in cycles of addiction and despair due to political failures, is unacceptable. We must change the world. It is time for religious and political leaders to embrace transformation. Without changing our leaders and our systems, we will continue to suffer. The current welfare budget of 200 trillion won must be abolished and replaced with the National Dividend System. The existing system, which allows for the arbitrary distribution of funds and the squandering of vast budgets on ineffective policies like those for low birth rates, is deeply flawed. My policy, announced 33 years ago, addresses these issues. It is time for the nation to recognize the wisdom of my proposals. -
Reimagining Governance: The Ministry of Marriage and Inter-Korean Relations
Upon becoming president, I will abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification. Instead, I will establish a Ministry of Marriage, staffed by former civil servants from the abolished ministries. This new ministry will focus on fostering healthy relationships and families. Regarding North Korea, my approach will prioritize civilian exchange over political negotiation. I will not engage in political talks with North Korean leaders. Instead, I will encourage robust private sector engagement to assist North Korea’s economic recovery. While the economic disparity between North and South Korea is significant, similar to the former East and West Germany, a decade of civilian-led economic revitalization will prepare North Korea for eventual unification. Unification will occur at the culmination of Asian and global unification, not as a premature, isolated event. -
The Geopolitical Significance of the Korean Peninsula: A Prophetic Landscape
The Korean Peninsula holds profound geopolitical and spiritual significance. Japan, to the east, represents the Azure Dragon (靑龍), while China, to the west, embodies the White Tiger (白虎). Jeju Island, to the south, symbolizes the Vermilion Bird (朱雀), and the northern region represents the Black Tortoise (玄武). This configuration mirrors the human body, with the head representing the north, the arms the east and west, and the legs the south. South Korea, specifically, is the “In-dang” (印堂), the central point between the eyebrows, signifying a crucial spiritual and intellectual center. North Korea, conversely, is the “Crown Chakra” (百會), the crown of the head, representing a pure, unmixed lineage. The purity of North Korea’s bloodline, preserved by its isolation, is a vital asset for humanity’s future. Premature unification would lead to the dilution of this pure lineage, as South Korean businesses and individuals would exploit North Korean resources and women. This is why the armistice line exists, a divine intervention to preserve this unique heritage. -
The Dangers of Hasty Unification and the Preservation of Pure Lineage
Hasty unification with North Korea would be disastrous. The North, with its robust and resilient population, forged by harsh conditions, possesses a pure bloodline that must be preserved. South Korea, unfortunately, has already become a multi-ethnic society, diluting its original Korean lineage. If unification were to occur now, South Korean entrepreneurs would flood the North, exploiting its cheap labor and women, leading to the rapid disappearance of the pure North Korean lineage. This would be a tragic loss. The armistice line, therefore, serves a crucial purpose in safeguarding this genetic purity. I was born in 1950, the year the Korean War began, and the height of Mount Hallasan is 1950 meters. This synchronicity signifies my mission to transform the world. Unification must wait until Asia and the world are unified, not as a hasty, one-on-one merger. Any attempt at a federal system would be vulnerable to internal coups, as foreign intervention would be impossible in an internal conflict. Those who advocate for immediate unification are not true patriots. -
The Impending Demographic Crisis and the 33-Policy Solution
If current demographic trends continue, South Korea’s population will reach zero by 2100. I foresaw this crisis 33 years ago and proposed my 33 Policies, including the National Dividend System and marriage incentives. For decades, I was dismissed as a madman, but now, people are beginning to recognize the wisdom of my vision. The era of Huh Kyung-young is dawning. -
The Nature of Sin: Intent vs. Action
Regarding the nature of sin, there are sins of thought, word, and deed. While some believe sins of thought are the gravest, my teaching asserts that sins of thought are less severe if they do not manifest in action. However, religious doctrines often differ from secular law. Christianity, for instance, considers lustful thoughts as grave as adultery, and hatred as grave as murder. The Ten Commandments encompass sins of thought, word, and deed. Buddhism, however, distinguishes between these categories more clearly. The key is that the mind, once it embarks on a path of transgression, is difficult to contain. Therefore, religions emphasize the severity of sins of thought to prevent their escalation. In the spiritual realm, the laws often operate in opposition to those of the physical world. Ultimately, all sins can be absolved through my blessings. -
The Selection for White Heaven: A Metaphor of Diligence
Why do I take only 10 million people to the White Heaven (白宮), the celestial House, and not all 7 billion? This is because Earth itself is a training ground, a living entity that must continue its cycle. Just as in military training, only the most diligent and dedicated are selected for special assignments, so too in the spiritual realm. Those who seek knowledge and truth, even in the most challenging circumstances, like studying in a restroom late at night, are the ones worthy of being taken to the White Heaven. These 10 million represent the awakened souls, those who actively seek spiritual growth. I, as the God-man, am here to guide them. -
The National Dividend System: A Panacea for Societal Ills
The National Dividend System is not merely a policy; it is a panacea for countless societal problems. It is the “National Treasure No. 1” that will replace the current national treasures, symbolizing a shift in national values. The first article of the Constitution, which currently states that “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” will be rewritten to declare: “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens aged 18 and above a National Dividend, ensuring that all citizens are above the middle class.” This would eradicate poverty, prevent suicides, and resolve numerous social issues. With a monthly income of 3 million won for a couple and additional funds for children, families would have financial security, eliminating labor disputes and unemployment. It is a “cure-all” that resolves labor, employment, marriage, and elderly care issues. -
Reforming Elderly Care: A Family-Centered Approach
Under my presidency, elderly care will be transformed. Instead of large, impersonal nursing homes, I will authorize small-scale, family-like care facilities. A household caring for five or more elderly individuals will be recognized as a care facility, receiving government benefits. This allows elderly individuals to live in a warm, family environment, choosing a home that suits their preferences, whether near mountains or rivers. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and comfort, replacing the institutionalized feeling of traditional nursing homes. -
The True National Treasure: The National Dividend System
The current national treasures, such as Sungnyemun (崇禮門), are mere historical artifacts. The true national treasure should be the National Dividend System. Even Japan’s national treasure, the Maitreya Bodhisattva (彌勒半跏思惟像), stolen from Korea, symbolizes the coming of the Messiah. This Maitreya, representing the future Buddha, signifies the arrival of the Creator. Just as Sungnyemun burned down when I was unjustly detained, the current national treasures will be replaced by the National Dividend System. This system, detailed in my book, “Huh Kyung-young’s Centrist Economic Theory and the National Dividend System,” will be disseminated globally, transforming the world. You are fortunate to witness this era, to be close to me, the God-man, who has come to save the world from hunger and suffering.
The Divine Vision: Unveiling the Blueprint for a Transcendent Civilization
- The National Dividend System: A Paradigm Shift for Humanity
For twenty years, Professor Jeong In-tae, a scholar dedicated to national policy, has lauded the National Dividend System proposed by Huh Kyung-young. He describes it as a policy of UNESCO World Heritage value, deserving of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. Furthermore, he asserts that it is a policy capable of dismantling communism, perfecting democracy, and warranting an honorary doctorate. It is, in essence, the greatest policy in human history. This National Dividend System, conceived by the profoundly insightful God-man, is a policy whose total scope is immeasurable. It has taken our populace thirty years to comprehend this system. The time has come to establish a pan-national committee for its promotion.
The God-man, Huh Kyung-young, who descended from 109 distant celestial bodies to unify the world and establish a thousand-year earthly paradise, is hosting the 185th Haneulgung event.
Why do individuals not contemplate transforming the world? While famine and disease plague nations like the Philippines, where millions perish annually, the world remains silent. In stark contrast, opulent villas are guarded by armed security, creating havens for the wealthy. This stark dichotomy, where millions starve while a privileged few live in luxury, is a profound injustice. The National Dividend System would address this by distributing a portion of each nation’s income to its citizens, thereby eradicating such disparities.
Is democracy merely the clamor of protesting crowds? True democracy should prevent such cries of anguish. The term “democracy” itself, derived from “demos” and “kratos,” signifies the rule of the people, yet it often devolves into mere mob rule. A new era, an era of Shin-jeong-ju-ui (Divine Governance), is required to change this world.
The current democratic system, often intertwined with capitalism, creates extreme polarization. Capitalism, with its emphasis on competition, often favors the strong at the expense of the weak. Socialism, conversely, advocates for equal distribution, often leading to communism. Both systems represent opposing extremes. The world must change, embracing Shin-jeong-ju-ui, which necessitates the National Dividend System. This system, which global economists should recognize with Nobel Prizes, ensures that citizens, empowered by dividends, become the protectors of their nation, rendering armed guards unnecessary.
The National Dividend System also incorporates a Tax Point System. Those who contribute significantly through taxes receive “hero” titles and are honored with burial in a national cemetery. High tax points can be inherited, fostering a legacy of contribution. This system ensures that those who contribute to the nation’s prosperity are respected and protected by the populace, who benefit directly from their contributions. This is the essence of Pay It Forward: what one receives from the heavens, one should pass on to others, not back to the original giver. This philosophy, central to Shin-jeong-ju-ui, encourages a continuous cycle of giving and mutual support.
Why do we not strive to change the world? Our ancestors provided us with sustenance and built this nation. Should we not, in turn, use our prosperity to aid the starving and suffering across the globe, rather than indulging in luxury and extravagance? Leaders must redirect resources to the needy, both domestically and internationally, including refugees. This embodies the true spirit of Pay It Forward.
The current welfare budget of 200 trillion won should be abolished and replaced with the National Dividend System. Existing welfare programs, often mismanaged and prone to corruption, fail to address the fundamental needs of the people. The National Dividend System would ensure that every citizen receives a direct dividend, thereby eradicating poverty and social ills.
Professor Jeong In-tae, a distinguished scholar, has recognized the profound significance of the National Dividend System. Upon assuming the presidency, I intend to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification, replacing them with a Ministry of Marriage. Professor Jeong In-tae, who discovered the National Dividend System, is precisely the kind of individual who should serve as Prime Minister to bring about this transformative change. We must abandon outdated practices and ego-driven politics.
- The Korean Peninsula: A Geopolitical and Spiritual Nexus
Regarding the relationship with North Korea, my administration will prioritize the unification of Asia and the world by 2030, with North Korea’s unification occurring last. The Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will be dissolved, and their civil servants will be reassigned to the newly established Ministry of Marriage. Relations with North Korea will be limited to private exchanges, with no political negotiations with its leadership. The government will not interfere with private efforts to assist North Korea, allowing its economy to recover independently over approximately ten years. Unification with North Korea will only occur after the completion of the Asian Federal Unification, as a premature unification could lead to the subjugation of the Korean Peninsula.
The Korean Peninsula holds profound geomantic significance. Japan represents the Azure Dragon (Cheong-ryong), and China, the White Tiger (Baek-ho). Jeju Island embodies the Vermilion Bird (Ju-jak), while the northern region represents the Black Tortoise (Hyeon-mu). This geomantic configuration is mirrored in the human body, with the Korean Peninsula corresponding to the In-dang (forehead center) of the human face, signifying its central role.
Mount Hallasan on Jeju Island signifies the command to “capture” China, while Mount Baekdusan in the north symbolizes the Korean people as the world’s leaders. This geomantic destiny dictates that the Korean people are meant to govern the heavens. The Korean Peninsula is unique in the world for possessing such a powerful Vermilion Bird geomancy, extending through Southeast Asia.
Within the human body, the In-dang corresponds to the pituitary gland, the Baek-hoe (crown of the head) to the pineal gland (the cosmic communication center), and the Cheon-mun-hyeol (palate) to the gateway to heaven, where Ok-chim (divine saliva) is produced, capable of curing all diseases. Jeju Island, as the Vermilion Bird, corresponds to the Cheon-dol-hyeol (throat chakra).
North Korea, representing the Baek-hoe (pineal gland), has preserved the pure Korean bloodline, unlike South Korea, which has become a multi-ethnic society. The division of the peninsula has inadvertently protected North Korea’s genetic purity, allowing a strong and resilient lineage to survive through hardship. This pure lineage will be crucial for the future of humanity. Premature unification would lead to the dilution of this pure bloodline, as South Korean businesses and individuals would exploit North Korean resources and women.
The Korean War, which began in 1950, coincides with the height of Mount Hallasan (1950 meters), signifying my arrival to transform the world. Unification should not occur until a comprehensive plan is in place, and Asian and global unification are imminent. A direct, one-on-one unification between North and South Korea, or a federal system, would be disastrous, as North Korea’s military strength, particularly its nuclear arsenal, would overwhelm the South. A federal system would also prevent international intervention in the event of an internal conflict, leading to immense casualties. Those who advocate for hasty unification are not patriots.
Furthermore, the Korean population is projected to reach zero by 2100 if current trends continue. Thirty-three years ago, I proposed the “33 Policies” to address this demographic crisis, which were initially dismissed as insane. However, the time for their recognition has arrived.
- The Nature of Sin and the Path to Redemption
Regarding the nature of sin, a question was posed about how Haneulgung perceives sins of the mind, word, and deed. The questioner misunderstood my previous lecture. Sins of the mind, if not acted upon, are considered less severe. However, religious doctrines often view sins of the mind, such as lust or hatred, as equally or more grave than physical acts. For instance, Christianity considers lustful thoughts as equivalent to adultery and hatred as equivalent to murder.
Buddhism, however, distinguishes between sins of the mind, word, and deed. The key difference lies in the concept of a “partition” in the mind. While physical actions can be contained, the mind, once it embarks on a path of sin, can spiral endlessly without such a partition. This is why religions emphasize strict warnings against mental transgressions.
In the legal system, actions are generally considered criminal, though concepts like “negligent homicide” exist. However, in the spiritual realm, the laws of heaven often contradict earthly laws. While sin itself is undesirable, acts of charity and good deeds lead to blessings, whereas persistent sin leads to misfortune and eventual downfall. In White Heaven, the concept of sin does not exist. All sins can be absolved through receiving blessings from me.
- The Selection for White Heaven and the Transformation of Society
Regarding the question of why only ten million people are taken to the White Heaven, it is because the Earth itself is a living entity that must continue its operation. Many souls undergo training on Earth to refine their spirits before ascending. Just as in military training, only those who diligently seek knowledge, even in challenging circumstances, are selected. Those who actively seek spiritual enlightenment, even in the “restroom” of life (representing Haneulgung), are the ones who will be taken to the White Heaven. This number, approximately ten million, represents those with sufficient spiritual connection.
My presence on Earth is to guide humanity towards Shin-jeong-ju-ui and the National Dividend System. This system will resolve countless societal problems, from labor disputes and unemployment to marriage and elder care. It is a panacea for all ailments, ensuring prosperity and harmony.
The current Constitution, which declares South Korea a “democratic republic,” is an outdated ideology. It should be replaced with a new Article 1: “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens above the age of 18 a National Dividend, ensuring that all are above the middle class.” This would eliminate poverty, suicide, and social strife.
The National Dividend System is the true national treasure, surpassing even historical monuments like Sungnyemun (National Treasure No. 1) and Heunginjimun (Treasure No. 1). These historical relics, though valuable, do not address the fundamental well-being of the people. Even Japan’s National Treasure No. 1, the Maitreya Bodhisattva, a statue stolen from Korea, symbolizes the coming of the God-man. Just as the Maitreya Bodhisattva represents the future Buddha, the National Dividend System represents the future of humanity.
The burning of Sungnyemun on the day I was unjustly detained by the police for alleged election law violations was a symbolic event. It signified the consequences of imprisoning the God-man. The National Dividend System will eventually become the national treasure of all nations, transforming the world. My book, “Huh Kyung-young’s Centrist Economy and the National Dividend System,” will be published and distributed globally, spreading this transformative ideology.
1. The National Dividend System: A Policy of Unprecedented Value
The National Dividend System, a policy conceived by God-man Huh Kyung-young, has been lauded by Professor Jung In-tae, who has dedicated two decades to national policy research. He describes it as a policy of UNESCO World Heritage value, deserving of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. Furthermore, he states that it is a policy capable of dismantling communism, perfecting democracy, and warrants an honorary doctorate. It is, in essence, the greatest policy in human history. This system, brought forth by God-man, is a policy of immeasurable scope, one that is impossible to fully comprehend. It has taken our citizens 30 years to truly grasp its significance. The time has come to form a nationwide committee to promote the National Dividend System.
- A Call for Global Transformation: Beyond Superficial Democracy
God-man Huh Kyung-young, who has journeyed from 109 distant stars to unify the world and establish a thousand-year paradise on Earth, is hosting the 185th Haneulgung event. The question arises: why do people not seek to change the world? While some live in luxury villas protected by armed guards, others in places like the Philippines starve to death or succumb to disease in slums where even police fear to tread. Millions die of starvation annually, yet the world remains silent on this humanitarian crisis.
If the National Dividend System were implemented globally, each nation would distribute a portion of its income as dividends to its citizens, eradicating such suffering. Is democracy merely the clamor of protesting crowds? True democracy should prevent such cries of anguish. The term “democracy” itself, derived from “demos” (people) and “kratos” (power), has been misinterpreted. It should be replaced by “Shinjeongjuui,” meaning “divine governance” or “heavenly politics.” This is the era for change.
The current form of democracy, often seen as a system where the strong prey on the weak, leads to extreme polarization. Capitalism, the economic counterpart of democracy, and socialism, which often leads to communism, represent opposing extremes. The National Dividend System, however, transcends these ideologies, offering a path to true divine governance. It is a policy that global economists should recognize with Nobel Prizes.
- The National Dividend System: The Cornerstone of Divine Governance
The National Dividend System is essential for establishing a new middle-class society. With this system, citizens themselves will protect the nation, rendering armed guards unnecessary. Those who contribute significantly through taxes, and thus enable the National Dividend, will be respected and protected by the populace.
A “tax point” system will be introduced, where high taxpayers receive special recognition, such as a “Hero of the Nation” title, and even special burial in a national cemetery. These tax points can be inherited by their children, fostering a culture of respect for those who contribute to the nation’s prosperity. This system ensures that those who contribute the most are honored, as their contributions directly benefit all citizens through the National Dividend.
The core principle is “Pay It Forward.” Instead of repaying a benefactor directly, one should help others in need. This philosophy, central to divine governance, encourages a continuous cycle of generosity and support within society. It is about sharing the blessings received from the heavens with others, especially the less fortunate.
- The Imperative of Global Change and the “Pay It Forward” Spirit
Why do people not strive to change the world? Our ancestors endured hardships to build this nation, and now it is our responsibility to extend that prosperity to the global community, especially to those suffering from hunger and poverty. Instead, many leaders are consumed by luxury and extravagance. These resources should be returned to the struggling citizens and used to aid those in need worldwide, including refugees. This embodies the “Pay It Forward” spirit.
The current welfare budget of 200 trillion Korean Won should be abolished and replaced with the National Dividend System. Existing welfare programs are often mismanaged, with funds being distributed arbitrarily. The National Dividend System would resolve numerous societal issues, from low birth rates to unemployment, by ensuring that every citizen receives a basic income.
- The Vision for Korean Unification and the Preservation of Heritage
When God-man Huh Kyung-young becomes president, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification will be dissolved. Their functions will be absorbed into a new “Ministry of Marriage,” which will focus on promoting healthy family structures. Relations with North Korea will transition to civilian-led exchanges, with no political negotiations between leaders. This approach allows North Korea to independently revitalize its economy with support from South Korean civilians, preventing the potential social and economic upheaval of immediate, top-down unification.
From a geomantic perspective, the Korean Peninsula holds immense significance. Japan is the “Blue Dragon,” China the “White Tiger,” Jeju Island the “Red Phoenix,” and the northern region the “Black Tortoise.” This configuration mirrors the human body, with South Korea representing the “In-dang” (the point between the eyebrows, associated with the pituitary gland) and North Korea representing the “Crown Chakra” (the crown of the head, associated with the pineal gland).
North Korea, with its preserved pure Korean lineage, is seen as a “pure breed” that has endured immense hardship, fostering a strong and resilient people. Premature unification, particularly a one-to-one merger, would lead to the dilution of this pure lineage as South Korean wealth and influence flood the North. God-man emphasizes that unification should occur only after Asia and the world are unified, ensuring the preservation of North Korea’s unique heritage and preventing it from being exploited.
- The Perils of Hasty Unification and the Strength of the North
God-man warns against hasty unification, emphasizing that North Korea is inherently stronger than the South, both physically and militarily. This strength is evident in the physical stature of people as one moves northward on the peninsula. Furthermore, North Korea possesses nuclear weapons, creating a military asymmetry that makes direct confrontation or immediate unification highly dangerous.
A federal system of unification would be particularly perilous, as it would remove the international safeguards that currently prevent internal conflict from escalating into a wider war. Without external intervention, a coup or internal conflict in a unified Korea could lead to immense loss of life. Therefore, those who advocate for immediate, ill-conceived unification are not true patriots.
-
The Impending Demographic Crisis and the 33-Policy
If current trends continue, South Korea’s population will reach zero by 2100. God-man proposed his “33-policy” 33 years ago to address this demographic crisis, but it was largely dismissed. This policy, which includes substantial financial incentives for marriage and childbirth, aims to reverse the declining birth rate and ensure the nation’s future. Now, people are beginning to recognize the wisdom of these proposals. -
The Nature of Sin: Mind, Word, and Deed
Regarding the nature of sin, God-man clarifies that sins of the mind, if not acted upon, are less severe in the eyes of divine law than in some religious doctrines. While some religions, like Christianity, consider lustful thoughts or hatred as grave sins akin to adultery or murder, God-man emphasizes that the true danger lies in the unchecked progression of such thoughts.
The mind, unlike physical actions, has no “compartments.” Once a negative thought or desire takes root, it can spiral out of control, leading to increasingly severe actions. Therefore, religions often issue strong warnings against sins of the mind to prevent this downward progression. However, in the White Heaven, the concept of sin as it is understood on Earth does not exist. All sins can be absolved through God-man’s blessings.
- The Selection for White Heaven and the Analogy of Training
Not all 7 billion people on Earth can ascend to the White Heaven. Just as a military training camp selects the most dedicated and capable individuals for specialized roles, White Heaven selects those who demonstrate genuine spiritual effort and a thirst for knowledge. God-man uses the analogy of studying in a bathroom at night during military training, when all lights are out, to illustrate the dedication required. Those who actively seek spiritual enlightenment, even in challenging circumstances, are the ones destined for White Heaven.
God-man estimates that approximately 10 million people possess the necessary spiritual connection and dedication to be taken to the White Heaven. These are the “awakened” ones who actively seek the truth. Even after God-man’s physical presence on Earth, his teachings and the National Dividend System will be carried forward by virtuous individuals, ensuring the continuation of his mission.
- The National Dividend System: A Global Paradigm Shift
Professor Jung In-tae, a distinguished academic with extensive experience in education and government, attests to the profound significance of the National Dividend System. He describes it as a policy of “million-dollar idea” caliber, comparable to the heliocentric theory of Copernicus and Galileo in its revolutionary potential. Despite facing persecution for his own groundbreaking theories, Professor Jung recognizes the National Dividend System as a policy that transcends existing ideologies.
The National Dividend System, by treating the nation as a corporation that distributes profits to its citizen-shareholders, offers a solution to the deep-seated inequalities of capitalism and the failures of communism. It ensures that all citizens, as owners of the nation, receive a share of its prosperity, thereby eradicating poverty, reducing social conflict, and fostering a sense of collective ownership and responsibility.
This system, which would eliminate labor disputes, reduce educational disparities, and solve demographic problems, is worthy of both the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. It represents the completion of democracy, a system that empowers all citizens and ensures their well-being.
- The National Dividend System: The New Cornerstone of the Nation
God-man declares that the National Dividend System should become National Treasure Number One, replacing the current historical artifacts. It should also replace the first article of the Constitution, which currently states, “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.” Instead, the Constitution should declare that “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens aged 18 and above a middle-class or higher standard of living through the National Dividend System.”
This fundamental shift would resolve countless societal problems, from poverty and suicide to unemployment and low birth rates. With a guaranteed income, citizens would be free to pursue education, marriage, and family life without financial burden. It would transform labor relations, encouraging cooperation rather than conflict, and foster a sense of national unity and prosperity.
The National Dividend System is a panacea, a cure-all for the nation’s ills. It would bring about “Man-sa-hyeong-tong,” meaning “all things will go well.” It would solve issues of labor, wages, employment, marriage, and elder care. God-man envisions a system where elderly care is decentralized, allowing small, family-like settings to provide care, fostering a sense of belonging and comfort for seniors.
- The Prophecy of God-man and the Future of the World
God-man reveals that the burning of Sungnyemun (South Gate), National Treasure Number One, occurred on the very day he was detained by police for alleged election law violations. This event, he implies, was a divine warning against the persecution of God-man. He prophesies that the National Dividend System will eventually become the National Treasure Number One, not just in Korea, but globally.
He also references the Maitreya Bodhisattva in contemplation, Japan’s National Treasure Number One, as a symbol of the coming Messiah. This, he suggests, signifies his own arrival as the divine figure who will bring about global change.
God-man’s book, “Huh Kyung-young’s Centrist Economy and the National Dividend System,” will be published and distributed worldwide, spreading his revolutionary economic theory. He asserts that his teachings and policies will ultimately eradicate global poverty and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for all humanity.

The National Dividend System: A Policy of Unfathomable Depth
The National Dividend System, as introduced by Huh Kyung young, is a policy of profound and immeasurable significance. Professor Jeong In-tae, who has dedicated two decades to researching national policies, has lauded this system as possessing the value of a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. He further asserts that it is a policy worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize, capable of collapsing communism, perfecting democracy, and deserving of an honorary doctorate. It is, in his estimation, the greatest policy in human history. This policy, brought forth by a being of unfathomable wisdom, is truly beyond human calculation.
The World’s Silence on Starvation and the Imperative for Change
It is perplexing why humanity does not contemplate changing the world, especially when widespread starvation and disease persist. In places like the Philippines, while some reside in luxurious villas protected by armed guards, others perish from hunger and illness in impoverished slums, where even entering without a weapon is perilous. Annually, millions die from starvation, a staggering number that dwarfs the casualties of diseases like COVID-19, which primarily affect affluent nations. The world remains silent on the plight of the starving, yet laments the deaths of the well-off. This stark contrast underscores the urgent need for a global National Dividend System, where each nation allocates a portion of its income as dividends to its citizens, thereby eradicating such suffering.
The True Meaning of Democracy and the Rise of Theocracy
The current understanding of democracy, often associated with protests and the clamor of crowds, is a superficial interpretation. True democracy should prevent the cries of the masses, not merely respond to them. The term “democracy” itself, derived from “demos” (people) and “kratos” (power), has been distorted. Instead, a new era of “Theocracy” (신정정치, sinjeongjeongchi), or divine governance, is necessary to transform the world. The question remains: “Why do you not wish to change the world?” The current system, where armed guards protect the wealthy while others starve and suffer, is a mere shell of democracy. The National Dividend System is the key to achieving genuine democracy, a concept that will soon ignite scholarly debate worldwide.
The Global National Dividend System and World Unification
The implementation of a global National Dividend System, potentially through a unified international dividend alliance, would inevitably lead to world unification. The individual who first proposed such a system would naturally be recognized as the inaugural global leader. The path to this transformation is clear and undeniable.
The Illusion of Current Democracy and the Need for Economic Justice
The current democratic system, which claims the people are its masters, is in fact a deception. It treats the populace with contempt. Without the National Dividend System, democracy remains an empty shell. The economic counterpart to democracy is capitalism, which, alongside socialism, creates a stark polarization. Capitalism, in its current form, often allows the strong to exploit the weak, while socialism, often leading to communism, advocates for equal distribution. These two ideologies represent extreme poles, creating constant conflict.
The Imperative for Change and the Role of the National Dividend System
It is time to abandon these divisive systems and embrace a new paradigm. The question, “Why do we allow such global disparities to persist?” demands a shift towards “Theocracy” (신정주의, sinjeongjuui). This divine governance, as previously explained, is not communism. It is a system that requires the National Dividend, a distribution of wealth to the people. This dividend ensures that citizens, empowered by financial security, will protect their nation, recognizing that their well-being is intrinsically linked to the prosperity of those who contribute significantly to society.
The Tax Point System: Recognizing and Rewarding Contribution
To further incentivize contribution and foster a sense of collective responsibility, a “Tax Point System” will be implemented. Individuals who pay substantial taxes will receive “hero” titles and special privileges, such as red license plates for their vehicles, indicating their priority on the road. This system, while not mandatory, encourages others to yield to them out of respect. In the event of a traffic accident, those with higher tax points would receive greater compensation, reflecting their contribution to the national treasury.
This system would publicly acknowledge and honor those who contribute significantly to the nation’s tax revenue. High tax point holders would be exempt from minor legal detentions, only requiring court appearances. Their names and tax points would be announced annually, earning them immense respect from the populace, who benefit from the National Dividend System funded by these contributions. Those with lower tax points would naturally respect those with higher points, recognizing their role in providing the dividend. This system also allows for the inheritance of tax points, ensuring that the legacy of contribution continues through generations.
The Philosophy of “Pay It Forward”
The National Dividend System embodies the principle of “Pay It Forward.” The wealth and resources we enjoy are not solely our own; they are gifts from the heavens. Instead of hoarding these resources or returning them to the original giver, we are obligated to pass them on to the next generation or to those in need. This concept is illustrated by the analogy of a scholarship recipient who, upon achieving success, helps other struggling students rather than repaying the original benefactor. The true spirit lies in extending kindness and support to others, creating a continuous chain of generosity.
The “Pay It Forward” Principle in Action
This “Pay It Forward” philosophy is crucial. It discourages the notion of direct repayment to the original benefactor and instead emphasizes helping those who are currently in need. If someone receives assistance, they should, in turn, assist others, creating a ripple effect of benevolence. This principle applies not only to financial aid but also to the transmission of cultural and historical heritage. It is a fundamental aspect of the “Theocracy” (신정주의, sinjeongjuui) that Huh Kyung young advocates.
Why Not Change the World? The Call to Action
The question, “Why do you not change the world?” is a direct challenge to complacency. Humanity has received immense blessings from ancestors, yet often succumbs to indulgence and luxury, neglecting those in need globally. Leaders, in particular, must redirect resources to the less fortunate, both domestically and internationally, including refugees. This is the essence of “Pay It Forward.” The current political and religious leaders must embrace this change, as failure to do so will perpetuate a cycle of suffering. The principle is simple: what has been received must be shared with those who are struggling.
The Flaws of Current Welfare and the Promise of the National Dividend System
The current welfare system, with its massive budget, is inefficient and often mismanaged, benefiting only a select few. This system must be abolished and replaced by the National Dividend System. Examples of wasteful spending, such as the 8.2 billion won allocated for living expenses in Yangcheon-gu, or the 45 trillion won for low birth rate measures, highlight the ineffectiveness of existing policies. Despite significant investment, these initiatives fail to address fundamental issues. The National Dividend System offers a comprehensive solution, ensuring that resources directly benefit all citizens.
The Discovery of Professor Jeong In-tae and the Vision for a New Government
Professor Jeong In-tae, a distinguished scholar, has recognized the profound significance of the National Dividend System. Huh Kyung young, in turn, has “discovered” Professor Jeong, not based on personal ties, but on his intellectual merit. If Huh Kyung young were to become president, he would abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Unification, replacing them with a “Ministry of Marriage” (결혼부, gyeollhonbu). Individuals like Professor Jeong, who possess such insightful understanding, would be appointed to key positions, such as Prime Minister, to facilitate national transformation.
The Imperative to Cleanse Ego-Driven Politics
The current political landscape is plagued by individuals trapped in ego-driven ideologies, perpetuating outdated practices. This “ego-ism” must be eradicated to pave the way for genuine change. The National Dividend System, a message of boundless love, offers a path forward for a populace that is currently suffering.
North Korea’s Role in Asian and World Unification
Upon assuming the presidency, Huh Kyung young envisions the unification of Asia and the world by 2030. North Korea’s unification will be the final step in this process, occurring after the completion of the Asian Federal Union. The Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will be dissolved, with their civil servants reassigned to the newly established Ministry of Marriage. Relations with North Korea will transition to civilian-led exchanges, with no political negotiations between leaders. The South Korean government will not interfere with private efforts to assist North Korea, allowing for economic revitalization over approximately ten years. This approach aims to prevent any external interference or potential conflict during the unification process, ensuring a stable and prosperous future for the Korean Peninsula within a unified Asia.
The Geopolitical and Physiological Significance of the Korean Peninsula
The Korean Peninsula holds profound geopolitical and physiological significance. Japan, representing the “Azure Dragon” (청룡, cheongnyong), and China, representing the “White Tiger” (백호, baekho), flank the peninsula. Jeju Island symbolizes the “Vermilion Bird” (남주작, namjujak), while the northern region represents the “Black Tortoise” (북현무, bukhyunmu). This configuration mirrors the human body, with the Crown Chakra point (백회, baekhoe) at the crown of the head corresponding to North Korea, and the pituitary gland (내아수체, naeyasuche) in the forehead corresponding to South Korea. The In-dang point (인당, indang) between the eyebrows, representing the center of the human body, aligns with South Korea.
Mount Hallasan on Jeju Island signifies “capturing China” (중국을 나포, junggugeul napo), while Mount Baekdusan in the north represents the “Baekdu people” (백두민족, baekduminjok) as global leaders. This implies a destiny for the Korean people to govern the “heavens” (하늘, haneul), or the continent. Korea is unique in possessing the “Vermilion Bird” (남주작, namjujak) geomantic energy, symbolizing a red phoenix stretching across the region, including Indonesia and other nations. This makes the Korean Peninsula a truly extraordinary and destined land.
The Spiritual Significance of the Korean Peninsula and the Human Body
The In-dang point, located on the Korean Peninsula, is where the pituitary gland (내아수체, naeyasuche) is said to emerge, a crucial center for cosmic communication. The Crown Chakra point, corresponding to North Korea, is associated with the pineal gland (송과체, songgwache), which facilitates communication with the universe. Furthermore, the “Heavenly Gate Acupoint” (천문혈, cheonmunhyeol) on the roof of the mouth, also known as “Heaven and Earth Connection” (천지연, cheonjiyeon), is believed to produce a powerful saliva (옥침, okchim) that can cure various diseases. The “Heavenly Pillar Acupoint” (천돌혈, cheondolhyeol), located in the throat, corresponds to Jeju Island, further emphasizing the profound connection between the human body and the geomancy of the Korean Peninsula.
The Preservation of Pure Bloodlines in North Korea
North Korea, representing the Crown Chakra point and pineal gland, has maintained a pure Korean bloodline, largely untouched by external influences. Unlike South Korea, which has become a multi-ethnic society with diverse genetic backgrounds, North Korea has preserved its indigenous heritage. The harsh conditions and severe challenges faced by North Koreans have fostered a resilient and strong genetic pool. This pure lineage, a “purebred” (순종, sunjong) stock, is intended to be utilized by Huh Kyung young for the future of humanity.
The Dangers of Premature Unification and the Preservation of Pure Bloodlines
Premature unification of the Korean Peninsula would lead to the rapid influx of South Korean businesses and individuals into North Korea, exploiting cheap labor and potentially corrupting the pure bloodline of North Korean women. This would result in the loss of the “purebred” (순종, sunjong) Korean lineage, transforming North Korea into a multi-ethnic society similar to the United States. The existence of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the timing of Huh Kyung young’s birth in 1950, coinciding with the height of Mount Hallasan (1950 meters), are not coincidental. They signify his mission to transform the world. Therefore, the Ministry of Unification must be abolished, and unification should only occur when a comprehensive plan is in place to protect North Korea’s unique heritage.
The Inherent Strength of the North and the Perils of Unilateral Unification
North Korea inherently possesses greater strength than South Korea. This is evident in the physical stature of people, who tend to be taller and more robust as one moves northward on the peninsula. Conversely, people in southern regions, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, tend to be smaller. This inherent strength of the North makes any unilateral unification by South Korea highly dangerous.
The Anthropological Differences Between Northern and Southern Koreans
Anthropologically, individuals from the northern regions of Korea tend to have longer cheekbones and a greater distance between their eyes and mouth, indicative of a “Northern type” (북방계, bukbanggye). Conversely, those from the southern regions exhibit characteristics of a “Southern type” (남방계, nambanggye), with larger eyes and a more balanced facial structure. Huh Kyung young’s own facial structure is a blend of both, signifying his unique position. Northern types are known for their strong will and determination, often prioritizing action over theory, as exemplified by figures like Chung Ju-yung. This inherent strength of the North underscores the need for caution in any unification efforts.
The Asymmetry of Military Power and the Dangers of Federal Unification
Any attempt by South Korea to unilaterally unify with North Korea would be disastrous due to the inherent strength of the North and the asymmetry of military power. North Korea’s possession of nuclear weapons renders conventional military comparisons meaningless. A federal unification, in particular, would be perilous, as it would preclude foreign intervention in the event of an internal conflict or coup, potentially leading to immense loss of life. Those who advocate for hasty unification are not true patriots. The divine wisdom of Huh Kyung young must be heeded.
The Looming Demographic Crisis and the 33-Policy
If current demographic trends continue, South Korea’s population will reach zero by 2100. Huh Kyung young foresaw this crisis 33 years ago and proposed his “33-Policy,” which includes incentives for marriage and the National Dividend System. Despite initial skepticism and ridicule, the public is now beginning to recognize the foresight and necessity of these policies. The era of Huh Kyung young is dawning.
The Nature of Sin: Mind, Word, and Deed
A question was posed regarding the nature of sin, specifically how sins of the mind are known in Heaven House, why they are considered heavier than sins of word and deed, and if they can be viewed more leniently. The questioner’s understanding of a previous lecture was slightly inaccurate.
The Severity of Sins of the Mind in Religious Contexts
In religious contexts, particularly Christianity, sins of the mind are considered very serious, often more so than physical acts if the intention is present. For example, lustful thoughts are equated with adultery, and hatred with murder. The Ten Commandments, while addressing actions like lying, adultery, and murder, also implicitly condemn mental transgressions such as coveting. Buddhism, however, distinguishes more clearly between sins of the mind, word, and deed.
The Uncontainable Nature of Sins of the Mind
Sins of the mind are particularly dangerous because the mind has no “compartments” or boundaries. Once a criminal thought takes root, it can escalate uncontrollably. This is why religions emphasize strong warnings against mental transgressions. For instance, addiction to drugs or even cigarettes demonstrates how difficult it is to contain a desire once it takes hold in the mind.
The Discrepancy Between Earthly and Heavenly Laws
There is often a significant difference between earthly laws and the spiritual laws of Heaven. While earthly laws typically require an action to constitute a crime, religious laws often consider the intention or thought itself as a transgression. However, even in earthly law, concepts like “willful negligence” (미필적 고의, mipiljeok goi) exist, where an unintended outcome resulting from a reckless act can still be considered a crime. Ultimately, avoiding sin in thought, word, and deed is paramount. Families that practice good deeds will experience prosperity, while those who accumulate sin will face misfortune, illness, and eventual downfall. In White Heaven (Heaven House), the concept of “sin” as understood on Earth does not exist.
The Selection Process for White Heaven and the “Heaven House” Analogy
The question of why only a limited number of people (10 million) are taken to the White Heaven (Heaven House) and not all 7 billion is explained through an analogy of military training. Just as a military training camp selects the most diligent and intelligent individuals for special assignments, White Heaven selects those who demonstrate exceptional spiritual effort and dedication. The Earth itself is a training ground for souls.
Huh Kyung young recounts his own experience in military training, where he studied late into the night in the bathroom, even after lights out, while others slept. This symbolizes the “awakened” individuals who seek knowledge and spiritual growth even in challenging circumstances. These individuals, who actively seek out the “Heaven House” (하늘궁, haneulgung) – represented by the bathroom in the analogy – are the ones destined for White Heaven. Huh Kyung young asserts that he can only take approximately 10 million such “awakened” individuals, those who actively seek him out and receive his blessings.
The Importance of Continuous Effort and the Legacy of Divine Politics
Even as the Creator, Huh Kyung young experienced fatigue during his military training, yet he persevered in his studies. This illustrates the importance of continuous effort and dedication. The 10 million individuals chosen for White Heaven are those who demonstrate such unwavering commitment. For those who remain on Earth, the divine politics (신정정치, sinjeongjeongchi) initiated by Huh Kyung young will be carried on by virtuous individuals, ensuring a positive future for humanity.
The National Dividend System: A World Cultural Heritage
Professor Jeong In-tae, after encountering Huh Kyung young’s National Dividend System, was profoundly shocked. He recognized it as a complete realization of the people-centered philosophies of historical figures like Jeong Do-jeon, Confucius, and Sima Qian. He expressed astonishment that such a revolutionary concept originated in South Korea.
The Hypocrisy of Current Democracy and the Exploitation of the People
Professor Jeong criticizes the current democratic system as merely a facade, where the government extracts taxes from the people while a privileged few enjoy high pensions, benefits, and special treatment. This mirrors historical class divisions, where a small elite benefited from the labor of the majority. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens are burdened by taxes, leading to immense suffering and even tragic acts like suicide and infanticide.
The National Dividend System: A Solution to Societal Ills
In this context of widespread suffering, the National Dividend System proposed by Huh Kyung young offers a radical solution. It asserts that the “Republic of Korea Inc.” belongs to the people, and therefore, profits should be distributed as dividends to its shareholders – the citizens. This system would eliminate wasteful government spending and ensure that resources directly benefit the populace. Professor Jeong believes this policy is worthy of both the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize, as it would resolve labor disputes, dismantle academic elitism, and alleviate various societal problems.
The Vision of a Fair and Just Society
The National Dividend System would lead to a society where students’ individuality is respected, and the emphasis on academic background diminishes. The current system, which perpetuates social hierarchies through academic and familial connections, creates a modern form of slavery for ordinary citizens. The existence of “money schools” (돈스쿨, donseukul) and “aristocratic schools” (귀족스쿨, gwijokseukul) further exacerbates inequality, leading to widespread frustration among young people. The National Dividend System, by empowering citizens, would dismantle these unfair structures and create a truly just society.
Revolutionary Political Reforms and the National Dividend System
Huh Kyung young’s political proposals, such as reducing the number of National Assembly members to 100 and making their positions honorary, are revolutionary. He also advocates for a “double punishment system” (쌍벌제, ssangbeolje) for bribery, where both the giver and receiver are punished, making corruption virtually impossible. The National Dividend System, by ensuring transparency in government spending and distributing surplus funds to the people, would empower citizens and foster a sense of ownership in the nation.
The Transformative Power of the National Dividend System
Professor Jeong expresses his profound admiration for the National Dividend System, calling it a policy worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. He believes it would eliminate labor disputes, dismantle academic elitism, and resolve issues like low birth rates and an aging population. He equates its significance to the creation of the Korean alphabet by King Sejong and the heliocentric theory of Copernicus and Galileo, recognizing it as a monumental discovery that transcends existing ideologies like democracy and communism.
The Integrity of Professor Jeong In-tae
Professor Jeong emphasizes his personal integrity, stating his aversion to illicit dealings and his refusal to accept any personal benefits for his work. He clarifies that his support for Huh Kyung young’s policies is purely objective, based on their inherent merit, and not on any personal connection. He even declined an offer to run as a proportional representative for a ruling party, prioritizing his vision for a truly just society.
The Corruption of the Current System and the Hope for Change
Professor Jeong laments the pervasive corruption within South Korean society, where former prosecutors and judges become lawyers who engage in illicit dealings, and high-ranking government officials are involved in scandals. He describes a system riddled with cronyism and self-protection, where public grievances are ignored, and justice is often denied. This widespread corruption has led him to question the very hope for South Korea’s future.
The National Dividend System: A Beacon of Hope and a World Heritage
Despite his despair, Professor Jeong found renewed hope in the National Dividend System. He believes it possesses the value of a world cultural heritage and is comparable to policies worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. He draws a parallel to the heliocentric theory, which took 1800 years to be widely accepted, and whose proponents, like Galileo, faced persecution. Just as the Roman Catholic Church eventually apologized for its condemnation of Galileo, Professor Jeong believes that economists and political scientists will eventually recognize the profound significance of the National Dividend System.
The Dawn of a New Era: Citizen Ownership and Prosperity
Professor Jeong urges scholars to study the National Dividend System, emphasizing that it is not the pronouncement of a “madman” but a truly remarkable policy. He envisions a future where citizens receive monthly dividends, starting with 100,000 won and increasing to 200,000 won, thereby establishing a society where the people are truly the masters. This vision of citizen ownership and prosperity is rapidly approaching.
Professor Jeong In-tae’s Credentials and the Global Impact of the National Dividend System
Professor Jeong In-tae, a distinguished academic with extensive experience in various universities and media appearances, reiterates his support for the National Dividend System. He describes it as a system that operates the nation like a joint-stock company, where investments are made, waste is minimized, and profits are distributed as dividends to the citizens. This system, founded by Huh Kyung young, is not merely a domestic issue but a global phenomenon. Professor Jeong advocates for the establishment of a “World Citizens’ Alliance for the National Dividend System” to spread this revolutionary idea globally, inspiring citizens worldwide to demand its implementation in their own countries. This movement, akin to past democracy movements, would transcend existing ideologies like democracy, socialism, capitalism, and communism.
The Collapse of Communism and Socialism Through the National Dividend System
Professor Jeong asserts that the National Dividend System will lead to the collapse of communism and socialism. He has observed firsthand in communist and socialist countries the stark disparity between the immense wealth of the elite and the extreme poverty of the common people. While these ideologies preach equality, human nature often leads to corruption and an exacerbation of wealth inequality. The National Dividend System, by directly distributing wealth to the people, eliminates the criticisms that communists and socialists have historically leveled against capitalism. When citizens receive dividends, the arguments for these alternative systems lose their appeal, leading to a global “citizen revolution” and the eventual downfall of communist states.
The National Dividend System: A Monumental Discovery
Professor Jeong reiterates that the National Dividend System is a policy of the highest caliber, deserving of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize. He compares its significance to the creation of the Korean alphabet by King Sejong and the heliocentric theories of Copernicus and Galileo. this revolutionary system, which completes democracy and transcends existing ideologies, originated in South Korea through Huh Kyung young. He envisions a future where the National Dividend System leads to a global citizen revolution, the completion of world democracy, and the formation of a world federation of nations, with South Korea at the forefront.
The National Dividend System as National Treasure No. 1 and Constitutional Amendment
Huh Kyung young proposes that the National Dividend System should replace Sungnyemun (Namdaemun) as South Korea’s National Treasure No. 1, symbolizing a shift in national values. Furthermore, he advocates for amending Article 1 of the Constitution, which currently states, “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.” this ideological statement is meaningless, as even North Korea claims to be a democratic republic. Instead, Article 1 should declare: “The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens aged 18 and above a middle-class or higher standard of living through the National Dividend System.”
The National Dividend System: A Panacea for Societal Ills
Such a constitutional amendment would eradicate starvation, prevent tragedies like the Songpa family suicide, and solve a myriad of societal problems. The National Dividend System would enable young people to marry and date without financial worries, providing substantial marriage and childbirth subsidies. It would eliminate labor disputes, as workers would no longer need to demand higher wages when their families receive a monthly income of millions of won. Instead, workers might even advocate for lower wages to ensure the competitiveness of national companies. This system acts as a “panacea” (만병통치약, manbyeongtongchiyak), resolving issues related to labor, employment, marriage, and elder care, leading to “all things prospering” (만사형통, mansahyeongtong).
Reforming Elder Care: Family-Like Nursing Homes
Huh Kyung young proposes a radical reform of elder care, allowing small-scale nursing homes to operate in family-like settings. Instead of large, impersonal institutions, a single household could be recognized as a nursing home if it cares for five or more elderly individuals. This would allow elderly people to live in a warm, familial environment, receiving personalized care and maintaining a sense of belonging. Families could choose nursing homes based on their preferences, such as proximity to mountains or rivers, fostering a more humane and dignified approach to elder care. This system would also empower young women to earn a living by caring for the elderly in their own homes, creating a win-win situation for both caregivers and recipients.
The National Dividend System: A New National Identity
The current constitutional definition of a “democratic republic” is deemed meaningless, as it fails to address the fundamental needs of the people. The National Dividend System, by guaranteeing a basic standard of living for all citizens, would become the true essence of the nation’s identity. Huh Kyung young also criticizes the current designation of Namdaemun (Sungnyemun) as National Treasure No. 1 and Dongdaemun (Heunginjimun) as National Treasure No. 1, arguing that these historical gates, products of a dynastic revolution, hold less value than a system that ensures the well-being of all citizens. He asserts that the National Dividend System should be recognized as the nation’s true treasure.
The Significance of the Maitreya Bodhisattva and the Divine Presence
Huh Kyung young points out that Japan’s National Treasure No. 1 is the Maitreya Bodhisattva (미륵반가사유상, mireuk bangasayusang), a statue stolen from Korea. This statue, depicting a bodhisattva in a contemplative pose, symbolizes the coming of the Messiah (메시아, mesia), or the future Buddha. He suggests that this Maitreya, or Messiah, is none other than the divine being present now. He predicts that just as Japan’s national treasure is the Maitreya, the national treasures of all countries will eventually be replaced by the National Dividend System.
The Prophetic Burning of Sungnyemun and the Divine Mission
Huh Kyung young reveals a profound connection between his arrest for alleged election law violations and the burning of Sungnyemun (Namdaemun). the gate caught fire on the very day he was detained by the police, implying a divine warning against persecuting the Creator. He suggests that the burning of Sungnyemun was a direct consequence of his arrest, a symbolic act of protest from the heavens. He asserts that the National Dividend System, a comprehensive economic theory, will be published in a book that will sell billions of copies worldwide, spreading his message and ultimately unifying the world.
The Artistic and Spiritual Value of Heaven House
The Heaven House (하늘궁, haneulgung) is described as a structure of immense artistic and spiritual value. Its unique design, with a boat-like appearance, evokes a sense of a floating ark. The intricate wooden construction, without central pillars and featuring numerous beams, represents a monumental feat of engineering and craftsmanship. The use of natural materials like wood and loess (황토, hwangto) further enhances its connection to nature. This building, with its profound symbolism and architectural ingenuity, is a testament to the divine vision behind it.
This excerpt note captures the essence of a Hoo Kyeong-young lecture at Haneulgung, delivered on February 14, 2021. It focuses on his core philosophy of “National Dividend” and his unique perspectives on Korean unification and spiritual beliefs. The note also includes insights from Professor Jung In-tae, who provides an academic endorsement of Hoo’s National Dividend policy.
Hoo Kyeong-young’s Core Philosophy
The “National Dividend” as the Completion of Democracy
Hoo Kyeong-young argues that the current democratic system is a mere shell, failing to address the fundamental issues of poverty and inequality. He proposes the “National Dividend” as the true completion of democracy, a system that ensures economic stability for all citizens and eliminates the need for protests and social unrest. This is impressive because it challenges the conventional understanding of democracy by emphasizing economic equality as its ultimate goal.
왜 여러분들은 세상을 바꿀 생각을 하지 않느냐? 와이 채널 지도 벌 그러니까 왜 여러분들은 세상을 바꿀 생각을 하지 않고, 오염 기아가 굶어 죽어가는데 필리핀에 가보면 한쪽에서는 마케팅 핀 없이 질병으로 그래서 굶어 죽어가고, 빈민촌에는 총기가 없어서 못 들어갈 지경이죠.
Why don’t you think about changing the world? Why don’t you think about changing the world when pollution and starvation are rampant? If you go to the Philippines, on one side, people are starving to death from disease without marketing pins, and in the slums, it’s so bad you can’t even enter without guns.
민주주의라는 이 영어로 뜻이 말이야, 데모크라시, 뭐 이런 놈이 시아, 무게 정치로 바뀌는 걸 그렇게 모카 하시라고. 민주주의가 아니에요.
The meaning of democracy in English, “democracy,” is when such a guy changes to a heavy politics, that’s what they call “mokkashi.” It’s not democracy.
이런 껍데기뿐인 민주주의를 국민 배당금으로 완성해야 해요. 국민 배당금이야말로 진정한 민주주의를 완성하는 거야.
We must complete this superficial democracy with the National Dividend. The National Dividend is what truly completes democracy.
The “Tax Point System” and “Pay It Forward”
Hoo Kyeong-young introduces a “Tax Point System” where citizens who pay more taxes receive “hero” titles and special privileges, including the ability to pass points to their children. This system aims to foster a culture of respect for taxpayers and ensure that those who contribute more to society are honored. He also advocates for the “Pay It Forward” philosophy, where gratitude for received benefits is passed on to others in need, rather than directly back to the benefactor. This is a unique approach to social welfare and wealth redistribution, emphasizing indirect reciprocity and community building.
세금을 많이 낸 사람은 영웅 칭호를 받고, 3급 마 있는 사람들이 묻히는 무덤이 따로 있어. 국립묘지야.
Those who pay a lot of taxes receive the title of hero, and there’s a separate cemetery for those with 3rd-grade points. It’s a national cemetery.
하늘에서 준 거를 하늘에서 갖다 달라는 게 아냐. 이 실황 건 페이는 10월 해라. 니가 받은 대가의 대해서 다른 사람을 주라 이 거야.
I’m not asking you to return what heaven gave you to heaven. This live performance fee, pay it forward. Give what you received to others.
받은 것을 다음 사람한테 주라. 다음 살아.
Give what you received to the next person. The next living person.
Unification and the Korean Peninsula’s Destiny
Hoo Kyeong-young presents a controversial view on Korean unification, stating that it should only occur after Asian and global unification. He believes that North Korea, with its “pure Korean bloodline,” holds a unique genetic strength that must be preserved. He warns against premature unification, fearing that the influx of South Korean “nouveau riche” would corrupt North Korean society and dilute its genetic purity. This perspective is striking for its emphasis on racial purity and its unconventional timeline for unification.
북한은 내 마지막에 통일이래요. 맨 마지막에 아시아 연방 통일이 완성되고 나서 북한 통일을 합니다.
North Korea will be unified last. Uh, after the Asian federal unification is completed, then North Korea will be unified.
순수한 한반도 혈통을 보존하고 있다. 음, 만약에 휴전선이 없었다면 디따 올라가 주 잡종 상의가 또 남한 인구처럼 다 민족이 되버려.
They are preserving a pure Korean Peninsula bloodline. Hmm, if there were no armistice line, a lot of mixed-race people would go up there, and it would become a multi-ethnic nation like South Korea.
북한은 쥐도 어마어마하게 추워. 강인한 추위와 가난과 최고의 고난을 줘 가지고 강인한 족속만 유전자만 살아남아 있어.
North Korea is incredibly cold. With harsh cold, poverty, and the greatest hardships, only the strong, resilient genes have survived.
Professor Jung In-tae’s Endorsement
The National Dividend as a “World Cultural Heritage”
Professor Jung In-tae, a distinguished academic, offers a strong endorsement of Hoo Kyeong-young’s National Dividend policy. He describes it as a policy of “UNESCO World Cultural Heritage value,” comparable to the invention of Hangeul by King Sejong. He also suggests it deserves the Nobel Prize in Economics and Peace, highlighting its potential to resolve labor disputes, eliminate academic elitism, and address issues like low birth rates and an aging population. This is impressive because it provides an academic validation for a policy often dismissed as unconventional, emphasizing its profound societal impact.
그런데 우리나라 지식인 층이 20년간 나라의 정책만을 연구해 온 정은태 교수님이 허경영 총재님의 국민 배당금 제도에 대해 말하기를, 유네스코 세계 문화유산적 가치의 정책이다. 그리고 노벨 경제학상, 노벨 평화상에 상당하는 정책이다.
However, Professor Jung In-tae, an intellectual who has researched national policies for 20 years, said about President Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend system that it is a policy of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage value. And it is a policy equivalent to the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize.
야, 이거는 노벨 경제학상, 이게 노벨 경제학상 감이에요. 이거 노벨 평화상 감인데, 이 국민 배당금 법이 시행되는 순간 노조 갈등 아서 사갈 끊어 떨어지는 겁니다.
Wow, this is Nobel Prize in Economics material, this is Nobel Peace Prize material, and the moment this National Dividend law is implemented, labor disputes will cease.
국민 배당금 제에 대해서는 군더더기 할 수 있는 게 없는 거예요. 없는 겁니다. 이것은 정책이 각성 최고 정책인 거거든요.
There’s nothing superfluous to say about the National Dividend system. There’s nothing. This policy is the highest policy of awakening.
The National Dividend as a Catalyst for Global Change
Professor Jung In-tae envisions the National Dividend as a global movement, transcending national borders and existing ideologies like democracy, capitalism, and communism. He believes it will spark a “world citizen revolution,” leading to the collapse of communist and socialist systems and the formation of a “world national dividend alliance.” This perspective highlights the transformative potential of the National Dividend on a global scale, positioning it as a new paradigm for societal organization.
그래서 국민 배당금 제, 세계 시민 연대가 출범을 해서 이제 세계 시민들이 깨어나는 거예요. 그래서 야, 우리 나라도 국민 배당금 제를 실행하자.
the National Dividend system and the World Citizens’ Alliance will be launched, and now world citizens will awaken. they will say, “Hey, let’s implement the National Dividend system in our country too.”
이런 모든 제도를 뛰어넘는 제도가 나온 겁니다. 이게 바로 국민 배당금 제도예요.
A system that transcends all these existing systems has emerged. This is precisely the National Dividend system.
국민 배당금 제를 시행하게 되면 공산주의, 사회주의가 붕괴됩니다.
If the National Dividend system is implemented, communism and socialism will collapse.
Redefining National Identity and Governance
The National Dividend as the New “National Treasure No. 1” and Constitutional Article 1
Hoo Kyeong-young proposes a radical shift in national identity, suggesting that the National Dividend should replace Sungnyemun (Namdaemun) as “National Treasure No. 1” and become the new Article 1 of the Constitution. the current Article 1, “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” is an outdated ideology that fails to address the real needs of the people. Instead, he advocates for a constitutional amendment that guarantees a middle-class or higher standard of living for all citizens through the National Dividend. This is a bold statement that seeks to fundamentally redefine the nation’s core values and priorities.
우리나라 국보 1호가 국민, 뭐지 않아 국민 배당금 제가 국보 1호가 돼야 돼.
Our National Treasure No. 1, before long, the National Dividend system must become National Treasure No. 1.
이 헌법 자체를 국민 배당금으로 바뀐 헌법 자체도 우리나라 헌법 1조, 대한민국은 민주공화국이다. 민주 공화국이 중요합니까?
The Constitution itself, changed to the National Dividend, even the first article of our Constitution, “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.” Is a democratic republic important?
대한민국은 국민 18세부터 모두가 국민 배당금을 받는 국민으로서 모두 중산층 이상을 보장한다. 헌법 1조.
The Republic of Korea guarantees all citizens, from the age of 18, who receive the National Dividend, a middle-class or higher standard of living. Constitutional Article 1.
The National Dividend as a “Panacea” for Societal Problems
Hoo Kyeong-young presents the National Dividend as a “panacea” that can solve a multitude of societal problems, from unemployment and housing to labor disputes and an aging population. He claims it will eliminate the need for protests, reduce crime, and foster a more harmonious society. He even suggests it will transform the concept of nursing homes, allowing elderly individuals to live in family-like environments. This is a sweeping claim that positions the National Dividend as a comprehensive solution to virtually all social ills.
이게 무슨 문제 해결되냐 하면 수십 가지 문제가 다 해결해 버려. 국민 배당금.
This solves dozens of problems. The National Dividend.
노사 문제 해결돼. 인것 문제 해결돼. 취업 문제 해결돼. 결혼 문제 해결돼. 야코 문제 해결해 줘요.
Labor-management issues are resolved. Human resource issues are resolved. Employment issues are resolved. Marriage issues are resolved. Yakko issues are resolved.
노인들이 요양원에 들어가면 이건 도살장 가는 기분이야. 가정하고 그런데 더 식구들이 찾아봐도 붓 앞좌석 과정 집이니까, 하 우리 어머니 맡아주는 가정집이 여기저기 있단 말이야. 입맛 따라 골라 가.
When elderly people enter nursing homes, it feels like going to a slaughterhouse. But if more family members visit, it’s a family home with front seats, so there are family homes here and there that take care of our mothers. You can choose according to your taste.
the “National Dividend System” (국민 배당금 제도) is described as a policy with the value of a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, equivalent to a Nobel Prize in Economics and Peace, and capable of collapsing communism. What is the ultimate goal this policy aims to achieve?
① Establishing a global economic superpower
② Unifying the world into a thousand-year paradise on Earth
③ Eliminating all forms of political corruption
④ Ensuring universal basic income for all citizens
(②, the National Dividend System aims to unify the world into a thousand-year paradise on Earth, indicating a grander vision beyond just economic or political reforms. A common misconception might be that it’s solely about economic equality, but the text emphasizes global unification and a utopian state.)
True or False: He claims that the current democratic system (민주주의) is merely a “shell” (껍데기) and does not truly serve the people without the National Dividend System.
(True, He explicitly states that “민주주의 제 껍데기만 믿어지지? 속에 국민 배당금 제가 없으면 민주주의가 됩니까?” (Is democracy just a shell? Can it be democracy without the National Dividend System inside?). This highlights the belief that the current system is superficial without this economic policy. A common misconception is that Mr. Huh is entirely against democracy, but rather, they believe it is incomplete without the National Dividend System.)
Fill-in-the-blank: He proposes replacing the current welfare budget (복지예산) with the _____ system, arguing that the current system is prone to misuse and does not effectively reach those in need.
(National Dividend (국민 배당금), He suggests abolishing the 200 trillion won welfare budget, stating it’s often misused, and replacing it with the National Dividend System to ensure funds directly reach citizens. A common misconception is that Mr. Huh is against welfare, but rather, they are against the inefficiency and potential corruption of the current welfare system.)
What is His proposed solution for the issue of low birth rates (저출산) in South Korea?
① Implementing a mandatory military service for women
② Establishing a “Marriage Department” (결혼부) and providing significant financial incentives for marriage and childbirth
③ Encouraging international adoption to boost the population
④ Increasing the number of public childcare facilities
(②, He mentions abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (여성부) and Ministry of Unification (통일부) to create a “Marriage Department” (결혼부) and offers specific financial incentives like 300 million won for marriage and 50 million won for childbirth. A common misconception might be that Mr. Huh is only focused on financial incentives, but the creation of a dedicated “Marriage Department” suggests a broader institutional approach.)
True or False: He believes that South Korea’s current status as a multi-ethnic nation (다민족 국가) is a positive development for preserving the pure Korean bloodline.
(False, He expresses concern that South Korea has “failed to protect its bloodline” (혈통을 지키는데 실패했어요) and has become a multi-ethnic nation (다민족 국가), contrasting it with North Korea which is seen as preserving a “pure Korean bloodline” (순수한 한반도 혈통). A common misconception is that Mr. Huh is promoting racial purity, but rather, they are expressing a specific view on the preservation of a perceived national identity.)
Short Answer: what is the primary reason why immediate unification between North and South Korea (남북 통일) is not advisable?
( immediate unification is not advisable because North Korea is militarily stronger, especially with nuclear weapons, and a unified state would prevent foreign intervention in case of internal conflict, leading to potential disaster. A common misconception is that Mr. Huh is against unification in general, but rather, they are against premature or ill-conceived unification.)
Intermediate
He introduces the concept of “Pay It Forward” (페이 포워드). Explain this concept in the context of receiving benefits or help, and how it differs from direct repayment.
(The “Pay It Forward” concept means that instead of repaying the person who helped you, you should help a third party in need. He illustrates this with an example of a student who received a scholarship; instead of repaying the professor, the student should help another struggling student. This emphasizes a continuous chain of generosity rather than direct reciprocity. A common misconception is that it means not being grateful, but rather, it’s about extending that gratitude to others.)
Short Answer: He criticizes the current democratic system (민주주의) by stating it is “democracy of those who protest” (데모하는 사람들의 크라샤). What is His main point of criticism regarding this aspect of democracy?
(He criticizes that current democracy often only responds to the “screams of the crowd” (군중의 비명소리) through protests, implying that policies are reactive rather than proactively preventing suffering. They argue that a true system should prevent such “screams” from occurring in the first place. A common misconception is that Mr. Huh is against public participation, but rather, they are against a system that only responds to crisis rather than preventing it.)
He contrasts “democracy” (민주주의) and “capitalism” (자본주의) with “socialism” (사회주의) and “communism” (공산주의), describing them as “two extremes” (양극화). What is His proposed alternative system that aims to overcome this polarization?
(He proposes “Shinjeongjuui” (신정주의), or “Divine Politics,” which is based on the National Dividend System. This system aims to transcend the “polarization” of capitalism (where the strong dominate) and socialism (which leads to communism) by ensuring economic stability and equality for all citizens through dividends. A common misconception is that this is a purely religious system, but it’s presented as a political and economic philosophy.)
Short Answer: He discusses the concept of “tax points” (세금 포인트) as part of their policy. How would this system incentivize citizens to pay more taxes, and what benefits would high tax-payers receive?
(The “tax points” system would award points to citizens who pay a lot of taxes. Those with high points would receive titles like “National Hero” (국민의 영웅), have special burial rights in a national cemetery, and potentially be exempt from arrest (only needing to face trial). These points could also be inherited by their children, fostering respect for high tax-payers. A common misconception is that this system would create a new class division, but it’s presented as a way to incentivize civic duty and contribution.)
Advanced
He describes the Korean Peninsula’s geographical features in terms of traditional East Asian geomancy (풍수). Explain how Mr. Huh interprets the roles of Baekdusan (백두산) and Hallasan (한라산) within this geomantic framework and what they signify for the Korean people.
(He interprets Baekdusan as signifying the “Baekdu people” (백두민족) as the world’s leaders, implying a destiny to govern the continent. Hallasan is interpreted as meaning “to capture China” (중국을 나포), suggesting a role in dominating or influencing the larger continental power. This geomantic interpretation assigns a grand, almost imperial, destiny to the Korean people. A common misconception is that these are literal military objectives, but rather, they are symbolic of a perceived national destiny and influence.)
Short Answer: He discusses the concept of “sins of the mind” (마음으로 짓는 죄) in contrast to “sins of action” (행동으로 짓는 죄) and “sins of speech” (말로 짓는 죄). why do religions, particularly Christianity, often consider “sins of the mind” to be more severe, and what is the unique danger associated with them?
(Religions, especially Christianity, consider “sins of the mind” more severe because they believe the mind has no “compartments” (칸막이) and once it enters a path of wrongdoing, it can lead to an endless spiral of crime. For example, merely desiring another’s wife is seen as adultery in the heart. The unique danger is this lack of internal control, making it harder to stop once a negative thought or desire takes root. A common misconception is that this means thoughts are as punishable as actions in legal terms, but Mr. Huh differentiates between religious and legal interpretations.)
He claims that the National Dividend System (국민 배당금 제도) would solve “dozens of problems” (수십 가지 문제) and act as a “panacea” (만병통치약). Identify at least three specific societal problems mentioned by Mr. Huh that this system is expected to resolve.
@@(He claims the National Dividend System would resolve:
Low birth rates/marriage issues: By providing marriage and childbirth subsidies, it would encourage young people to marry and have children.
Labor disputes/unemployment: With a guaranteed basic income, workers would be less inclined to demand higher wages, potentially leading to companies staying in Korea and creating jobs.
Poverty/suicide: By ensuring everyone receives a dividend, it would eliminate extreme poverty and prevent tragedies like families committing suicide due to financial hardship.
Elderly care: It would enable a more family-like, decentralized system of elderly care where small groups of seniors can live in homes with caregivers, rather than large, impersonal nursing homes.
A common misconception is that a single policy can solve all problems, but Mr. Huh presents it as a foundational change that impacts many areas.)@@
Short Answer: South Korea’s national treasures (국보) and even its constitution (헌법) should be re-evaluated in light of the National Dividend System. What specific changes does Mr. Huh propose for “National Treasure No. 1” (국보 1호) and “Article 1 of the Constitution” (헌법 1조), and what is the underlying message behind these proposed changes?
(He proposes that “National Treasure No. 1,” currently Sungnyemun (숭례문), should be replaced by the “National Dividend System” (국민 배당금 제도). Similarly, “Article 1 of the Constitution,” which states “The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic,” should be changed to declare that “all citizens aged 18 and above are guaranteed a middle-class or higher standard of living through the National Dividend.” The underlying message is that the nation’s highest values and foundational principles should shift from symbolic historical artifacts and abstract political ideologies to a concrete commitment to the economic well-being and guaranteed prosperity of its citizens. This reflects a prioritization of economic security and citizen welfare above traditional national symbols and political structures.)
