  • He criticizes politicians for prioritizing personal gain over public welfare, likening them to “weeds” that constantly reappear despite efforts to remove them.
  • He suggests that if politicians neglect the public for even a day, “thieving minds” emerge, leading to corruption.
  • The current political system is seen as flawed, with politicians engaging in self-serving activities rather than focusing on the needs of the people.

• Huh Kyung-young’s Seoul Mayoral Candidacy and Policies

  • Huh Kyung-young is running in the April 7th Seoul mayoral by-election.
  • He pledges to decline his mayoral salary and official expenses.
  • Key policy proposals include:
  • Saving 70% of Seoul’s budget.
  • Ensuring a premium water supply.
  • Abolishing various property taxes.
  • Implementing “33 policies” centered on a national dividend system.
  • Stopping excessive urban development and redirecting funds to citizens’ living expenses.
  • Creating a “Marriage Department” within Seoul City Hall to facilitate marriages for single men and women in their 40s and 50s.

• Criticism of Election Practices and Media Bias

  • Huh Kyung-young criticizes the National Election Commission for excluding him from opinion polls and denying him equal opportunities in TV debates.
  • the term “투표” (vote) is inappropriate, as it implies “throwing away” or “speculating” rather than a careful “selection” (선표).
  • He proposes that voting rights should be granted only to those who pass a qualification exam, ensuring informed participation.
  • He also notes that media outlets often misrepresent his statements or downplay his status, such as changing “선생” (teacher/master) to “씨” (Mr./Ms.).

• Philosophical and Spiritual Insights

  • the importance of cultivating a good heart, comparing the body to fertile land, good intentions to rice plants, and evil thoughts to weeds.
  • good deeds are always insufficient, while a single bad deed leaves a permanent mark.
  • He discusses the concept of “impermanence” (무상) in life, comparing human existence to a mud ox walking on water or a snowflake falling into a red-hot furnace, leaving no trace.
  • He claims to be able to discern people’s past and future lives, demonstrating this with an example of a staff member.
  • He shares personal anecdotes about his difficult childhood, including carrying heavy loads on a “jigae” (A-frame carrier) and studying to overcome physical pain.
  • He introduces the concept of “신정주의” (Theocracy) or “Huhkonomyism” as a perfect political system, contrasting it with democracy and capitalism.
  • He uses the analogy of a tiger appearing before a cow and a human to illustrate the importance of a strong leader. A cow with its owner present will stand its ground, but if the owner flees, both the cow and the human are vulnerable.
  • He also discusses the “우생마사” (cow lives, horse dies) principle, where cows survive in water by remaining calm, while horses, with their frantic efforts, perish. This is used to advocate for steadfastness over impulsiveness.
  • He connects the character “犧牲” (sacrifice) to the character for “cow” (牛), suggesting that those who sacrifice, like pastors, embody the spirit of the cow.

• National Dividend System and Future Vision

  • Huh Kyung-young proposes a national dividend system, where a significant portion of the national budget (400-800 trillion won) would be distributed to citizens.
  • This system aims to create a middle-class society and address the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution, where fewer people will be needed for traditional labor.
  • He believes this “National Dividend System” is the only solution to save South Korea and humanity, and that he is the only one capable of implementing it.
  • He warns that without this system, the nation risks falling into “socialism” and “poverty,” urging citizens to make a “wise choice” (취사선택) to avoid a “hellish path” and instead choose the “dividend path.”

Ⅲ. Action Items

• National Election Commission: Immediately include Huh Kyung-young in opinion polls and provide equal opportunities in TV debates for all candidates.
• Citizens of Seoul: Carefully consider Huh Kyung-young’s policies and vision for the upcoming mayoral by-election, making an informed “selection” rather than a “speculative vote”.
• Media Outlets: Ensure fair and accurate reporting on all candidates, avoiding biased language or attempts to diminish their status.
• Huh Kyung-young’s Supporters: Continue to advocate for his policies and vision, recognizing the importance of a strong leader in guiding the nation.

The Nation’s Wealth: Not Lacking Funds, But Plagued by Thieves

1. The Cultivation of Mind and Body: Lessons from Ancient Sages
   Huh Kyung-young commenced his 274th Saturday lecture by referencing the wisdom of ancient sages, who likened the human body to earth (地), a fertile ground requiring constant care and cultivation. Just as one must fertilize and tend to the soil, the body demands daily cleansing and maintenance. This analogy underscores the principle of self-care and diligent upkeep of one’s physical vessel.

2. The Dual Nature of the Mind: Virtue as Rice, Vice as Weeds
   The benevolent aspect of the mind, according to Huh Kyung-young, should be regarded as rice (稻) in a paddy field, necessitating meticulous attention. Just as weeds must be continuously removed to ensure the healthy growth of rice, negative thoughts and actions must be diligently eradicated from the mind. He asserted that even a single day without contemplating goodness leads to the proliferation of evil, stating, “If one does not contemplate goodness for a single day, all evils will spontaneously arise and dominate the self.” This highlights the fragile nature of virtue and the constant vigilance required to maintain it.

3. The Farmer’s Diligence: A Metaphor for Sustaining Goodness
   Huh Kyung-young extended the agricultural metaphor to illustrate the effort required to sustain goodness. A farmer’s neglect transforms a rice paddy into a field overrun with weeds, ruining the harvest. Conversely, a diligent farmer who frequently treads through the paddy, removing weeds and aerating the soil, strengthens the rice plants, making them resilient against typhoons. This interaction, he explained, is akin to the rice plants “breathing” with the farmer, rewarding their care with strength. This analogy emphasizes that goodness, like rice, demands continuous effort and interaction to flourish and withstand adversity.

4. The Enduring Nature of Good and Evil: A Moral Imperative
   Huh Kyung-young posited that goodness (善) is perpetually insufficient, regardless of a lifetime of virtuous acts. Even a life dedicated to good deeds can be overshadowed by a single act of evil committed on the final day. Conversely, a single day of evil (惡) leaves an indelible mark, persisting eternally in the perception of others. He cited the Christian concept that adherence to the law alone does not guarantee salvation, implying that true salvation transcends mere rule-following and points to a deeper, more profound understanding of righteousness. This underscores the profound and lasting impact of both good and evil actions.

5. The Body as Earth, Goodness as Rice, Evil as Weeds: A Holistic View
   Reiterating the core metaphor, the body should be managed like earth (地), goodness cultivated like rice (稻), and evil eradicated like weeds (雜草). He noted that evil, like weeds, persistently regrows even after being cut down, symbolizing its tenacious nature. This continuous struggle against evil is a lifelong endeavor, as a single day of malevolence can define a person’s legacy.

6. The Political Landscape: A Field of Weeds
   Huh Kyung-young then shifted his focus to the political realm, likening politicians to weeds (雜草). He suggested that the public views them as inherently corrupt, constantly engaging in illicit activities and appearing only during election periods. He lamented that honest individuals are excluded from this “weedy” political landscape, which he described as an “immortal weed” that persists despite attempts to cut it down. This critique highlights a deep-seated cynicism towards the political establishment.

7. The Root of Corruption: Neglect of the Populace
   Huh Kyung-young asserted that the proliferation of corruption stems from politicians’ neglect of the people (民). He stated, “If one does not think of the people for a single day, all manner of thieving thoughts arise.” This implies that a lack of focus on public welfare directly leads to self-serving and corrupt behaviors among those in power. He dramatically replaced the character for “evil” with “thief” to emphasize this point, drawing laughter and agreement from the audience.

8. The Nation’s Wealth: Not Scarcity, But Theft
   This led to Huh Kyung-young’s central declaration: “The nation is not lacking money; rather, there are too many thieves.” This statement encapsulates his view that national resources are abundant but are being misappropriated by corrupt individuals within the system.

9. The Ephemeral Nature of Life: A Mud Ox and a Snowflake
   To illustrate the transience of human life, Huh Kyung-young presented two vivid metaphors: a mud ox (泥牛) walking on water and a snowflake (雪) falling into a red-hot furnace. In both scenarios, the object leaves no trace, symbolizing the impermanence of existence. He used these images to convey the idea that life is fleeting and that actions, especially negative ones, can lead to an undesirable rebirth.

10. The Cycle of Rebirth and the Path to Haneulgung
    Huh Kyung-young then delved into his unique teachings on reincarnation (轉生) and salvation (救援). He claimed the ability to reveal past lives and future destinations, using an audience member as an example. He stated that women have a 90% chance of being reborn as animals, 9% as women, and 1% as men. He then “consulted” a “celestial angel” to determine the audience member’s past and future, revealing that the individual, a man, was a woman in a past life who performed many good deeds for men, leading to an “upward graph” of rebirth. However, without meeting Huh Kyung-young, the individual would regress to being reborn as a woman due to a “score decrease.” He then asserted that meeting God-man Huh Kyung-young guarantees a direct path to Haneulgung (白宮天國), which he equated with Heaven (天國). This segment highlights his claim of divine authority and his role as a savior.

11. The Significance of the Archivist’s Role
    Huh Kyung-young emphasized the profound importance of the archivist’s role, stating that serving him is “tens of billions of times better” than working for the Bill Gates Foundation. He declared his lecture hall a “Heaven on Earth,” underscoring the spiritual significance of his teachings and the privilege of those who document them.

12. The Interdependence of Humanity and Earth
    Drawing another analogy, just as a wave (波濤) depends on water (水), humanity depends on earth (地). Our bodies are sustained by the earth, yet eventually return to it. This cyclical relationship highlights the transient nature of the physical body and the continuous journey of the soul, which is constantly being “scored” and moving through levels of ascent, descent, or stasis.

13. The Peril of Becoming a Thief
    He reiterated that avoiding the path of a thief (盜賊) is paramount, as becoming one is “tremendously evil.” He rephrased his earlier statement, “If one does not think of the people for a single day, all evils will spontaneously arise,” to “If one does not think of the people for a single day, all thieves will spontaneously arise,” directly linking political corruption to the neglect of the populace.

14. Huh Kyung-young’s Economic Vision: National Dividend and Fiscal Reform
    Huh Kyung-young outlined his economic policy, stating that if elected, he would reduce the national budget of 550 trillion won to 150 trillion won, returning 400 trillion won (plus an additional 4 trillion won, totaling 800 trillion won) to the citizens as a National Dividend (國民配當金). He asserted that this would revitalize the domestic economy and elevate the lowest income earners to the middle class, providing them with a lifelong monthly income.

15. The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Need for a National Dividend
    the Fourth Industrial Revolution (第四産業革命) will lead to a future where a few individuals can sustain millions, making it impossible for everyone to earn money through traditional means. Therefore, a national dividend is essential to ensure that all citizens have a basic income, as the majority of taxes are paid by a few large corporations, not the general public.

16. Critique of Excessive Urban Development and Public Transportation
    Huh Kyung-young criticized excessive urban development and the over-provision of public transportation, particularly in Seoul. He argued that funds allocated for unnecessary construction projects should instead be distributed directly to citizens. He pointed out that Seoul already boasts excellent subways and numerous buses, including public and village buses, making it possible for people to avoid walking entirely. He even suggested that the proliferation of village buses has led to an increase in child fatalities. He advocated for a halt to such development and the redirection of those funds to citizens’ livelihoods.

17. Social Policies: Marriage Promotion and the Abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality
    He proposed specific social policies, including the creation of a “Marriage Department” within the Seoul City Hall to actively promote marriage among single men and women in their 40s and 50s. This department would organize monthly gatherings, provide food, and arrange entertainment to encourage unions. He suggested abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and replacing it with this new department, emphasizing the state’s role in facilitating marriage.

18. The “Thief” Metaphor in Politics: A Call for Reform
    Huh Kyung-young reiterated his belief that if politicians neglect the people for even a single day, “all thieves will spontaneously arise.” He declared his intention to reform the system, not to criticize individuals, by establishing “Spiritual Education Centers” where journalists, politicians, and national leaders who have engaged in biased reporting or corruption would undergo rigorous training and pass an examination to be released.

19. The Origin of the “Too Many Thieves” Statement
    He proudly stated that he was the first to utter the phrase, “The nation is not lacking money; rather, there are too many thieves,” 33 years prior, and that this sentiment has since been adopted by many politicians.

20. The Flawed Concept of “Voting” (投票)
    Huh Kyung-young then critiqued the Korean term for “voting,” 투표 (投票), which literally means “to throw a ballot.” He argued that this term implies a casual, speculative act, akin to gambling or “throwing” money into an investment. He asserted that casting a ballot should be a solemn act of selection (選擇), a choice made with one’s life and destiny at stake, not a mere “toss.”

21. Advocating for “Selection of Ballot” (選票)
    He proposed replacing 투표 (投票) with 선표 (選票), meaning “selection of ballot,” to reflect the gravity of the act. He argued that the current term fosters a careless attitude among citizens, leading to poor leadership choices. He warned that if the public continues to “throw” their votes, they will endure further hardship until their children, at age 70, finally seek out Huh Kyung-young.

22. The Need for Qualified Voters: A Critique of Democracy
    Huh Kyung-young further criticized the current democratic system, suggesting that only those who pass a “qualification examination” should be allowed to vote for presidents and national assembly members. He argued that allowing uneducated individuals to vote, based on hearsay or superficial impressions, leads to the election of corrupt leaders. He envisioned a system where voters are “selected” based on their knowledge and understanding, rather than simply “throwing” their votes.

23. The Concept of Theocracy (神政主義)
    He advocated for a shift from democracy to Theocracy (神政主義), a system where divine power, rather than popular power, governs. He argued that the current “power of the masses” (群衆의 權力) is undesirable and leads to societal decay, especially when combined with capitalism, where powerful entities dominate.

24. Huhconomism (허코노미즘) and Huhcracy (허코시아)
    Huh Kyung-young introduced his own political and economic philosophies: Huhconomism (허코노미즘), which aims to elevate all citizens to the middle class through policies like the National Dividend, and Huhcracy (허코시아), which he defined as a “perfect political system” based on divine, benevolent governance. He predicted that this system would “strike the world” for 20 years.

25. The Influence of Huh Kyung-young’s Policies on Other Politicians
    He then presented a video clip of Lee Jae-myung, then Governor of Gyeonggi Province, acknowledging Huh Kyung-young’s influence. Lee Jae-myung stated that former President Park Geun-hye’s promise of 200,000 won per month for seniors (now 400,000 won) was based on Huh Kyung-young’s original pledge. Huh Kyung-young noted that Lee Jae-myung expressed “respect” for him, although the broadcast subtitle incorrectly translated it as “like.”

26. Lee Jae-myung’s Endorsement of Huh Kyung-young’s Core Statement
    The video clip further showed Lee Jae-myung emphatically agreeing with Huh Kyung-young’s statement: “The nation is not lacking money; rather, there are too many thieves.” Lee Jae-myung declared it “100% correct,” highlighting the resonance of Huh Kyung-young’s critique of corruption across the political spectrum.

27. The Media’s Bias and Disrespect
    Huh Kyung-young criticized the media for intentionally downgrading his status, pointing out that a broadcast changed “Huh Kyung-young Seonsaeng” (teacher/master) to “Huh Kyung-young Ssi” (Mr.), and “respect” to “like.” He interpreted this as an attempt to belittle him, despite his significant influence on other politicians.

28. The Wisdom of the Wise: Guarding Knowledge
    Huh Kyung-young contrasted the “foolish person” who guards their body with the “wise person” who must guard their knowledge (知識). He argued that politicians, who consider themselves wise, often rely on their own knowledge and fail to recognize or dismiss his policies, viewing him as a “swindler.” He warned that such individuals would face judgment.

29. The Farmer’s Perspective: Diverse Interpretations
    He then discussed the Korean word for “farmer,” 농부 (農夫), noting that it can refer to both male and female farmers, yet is often predominantly associated with men. He used this linguistic nuance to illustrate how people interpret him according to their own perspectives, often misrepresenting his true nature.

30. The Allegory of the Tiger, the Ox, and the Human
    Huh Kyung-young presented an allegory involving a tiger (虎), an ox (牛), and a human (人). When confronted by a tiger, a foolish human abandons the ox and flees, only to be caught and devoured. The ox, when its owner is present, stands firm and protects the human, its eyes filled with courage. However, if the owner flees, the ox loses its strength and is also devoured. This story illustrates the importance of a strong leader and the loyalty of the populace.

31. The Peril of Disorganized Troops (烏合之卒)
    He applied this allegory to leadership, stating that even a large army becomes disorganized troops (烏合之卒) without a strong leader. He cited examples like Genghis Khan and the Japanese Emperor, whose presence inspired unwavering loyalty and courage. The death of such a leader, he explained, leads to the collapse of the entire force, regardless of its size.

32. The Absence of a True Leader in Korea
    Huh Kyung-young lamented the absence of such a “genius leader” in South Korea, warning that in times of war, many would flee, leaving the nation vulnerable and its soldiers demoralized. He asserted that a true leader can unite the 50 million people of South Korea to conquer the world.

33. The Ox’s Wisdom: Steadfastness in Adversity
    He further elaborated on the ox’s wisdom, noting that when swept away by water, an ox does not struggle but allows itself to drift, conserving energy and eventually reaching the shore. In contrast, a horse, with its impulsive nature, struggles and drowns. This illustrates the principle of “an ox lives, a horse dies” (牛生馬死), teaching that patience and steadfastness are crucial for success, while impulsiveness leads to failure.

34. The Symbolism of Sacrifice (犧牲)
    Huh Kyung-young highlighted the presence of the character for ox (牛) in the Korean word for sacrifice (犧牲). those who make great sacrifices, like pastors, embody the spirit of the ox, dedicating themselves to others without seeking personal gain. This connection emphasizes the selfless nature of true leadership and service.

35. The Omnipotent Leader (萬能指導者)
    He declared himself an Omnipotent Leader (萬能指導者), the first of his kind in the billions of years of Earth’s history, possessing all abilities to guide the people to comfort and prosperity.

36. The Choice of Selection (取捨選擇): Heaven or Hell
    Huh Kyung-young concluded by emphasizing the critical importance of selection (取捨選擇), which he equated with voting. He warned that a wrong choice could lead to the “highway to hell” (地獄大路), while choosing him and his National Dividend policy would lead to the “highway to dividend” (配當大路). He criticized the public for being swayed by traditional political parties, likening them to the ancient Silla and Baekje kingdoms, which ultimately led to ruin. He asserted that South Korea, unlike China or Japan with their emperors, possesses a God-man, and it is time for the nation to assert its power.

37. The Path to Freedom: National Dividend
    He reiterated that the National Dividend is the only path to freedom, as it liberates individuals from the bondage of money. Choosing the “highway to hell” means being perpetually enslaved by financial struggles, whereas the “highway to dividend” ensures a continuous flow of personal income.

38. The Sole Savior: Huh Kyung-young
    Huh Kyung-young concluded by stating that only the National Dividend can save South Korea and all humanity, and that no other alternative or individual on Earth possesses the ability of God-man to achieve this.

The Nation’s Wealth: Not Absent, But Misappropriated

1. The Cultivation of Virtue and the Peril of Negligence
   The human body should be regarded as fertile ground, diligently tilled and nurtured. Just as land requires constant fertilization and care to remain productive, our physical form demands continuous attention and cleansing. Neglecting the body is akin to abandoning a field; it will inevitably become barren and overgrown. Similarly, a virtuous mind is like a rice paddy, requiring meticulous cultivation. We must diligently remove the weeds of negative thoughts and actions, for even a single day of moral laxity can allow malevolence to proliferate and dominate one’s being. The wisdom of the ancients posits that if a farmer neglects his paddy for merely a day, it will be overrun by weeds, ruining the harvest. The farmer must frequently traverse the field, his footsteps aerating the soil around the rice stalks, strengthening their roots against typhoons. This interaction fosters a symbiotic relationship, ensuring the crop’s resilience. Thus, a virtuous mind, like a well-tended rice paddy, demands constant vigilance and effort.

Conversely, malevolent thoughts are akin to persistent weeds. They may be cut down, but they inevitably regrow, demonstrating their tenacious nature. A single act of malice can leave an indelible stain on one’s reputation, a criminal record that follows a person throughout their life, impacting even their descendants. This enduring consequence underscores the importance of ethical conduct.

2. The Misappropriation of National Resources
   The current political landscape often views politicians as these persistent weeds, their corruption and malfeasance perceived as an inherent aspect of their existence. They are seen as perpetually engaged in illicit activities, only appearing during election cycles to solicit support. This perception arises from a fundamental disregard for the populace. When leaders fail to prioritize the welfare of their citizens, avarice and corruption inevitably flourish. This leads to the assertion that the nation’s financial woes stem not from a lack of funds, but from the prevalence of corrupt individuals.

Consider the analogy of a clay ox attempting to traverse water, or a single snowflake falling into a blazing furnace. In both instances, no lasting trace remains. Such is the ephemeral nature of human life. Yet, those who exploit the populace leave a negative imprint, destined for an unfavorable reincarnation.

3. The Cycle of Reincarnation and Divine Intervention
   The journey of the soul is a complex trajectory of ascent and descent. For instance, a woman who performs many good deeds in one life may be reborn as a man in the next, signifying an upward spiritual progression. However, if this individual fails to uphold their spiritual obligations in their new life, their spiritual score may decline, leading to a regression in their next reincarnation, perhaps returning to a female form. This cyclical nature of existence underscores the importance of continuous spiritual growth.

However, divine intervention can alter this trajectory. Encountering the Creator, the God-man, can provide a direct path to the celestial realm, transcending the ordinary cycles of reincarnation. This signifies a profound and rapid spiritual ascent, bypassing the usual karmic progression.

4. The Illusion of Democratic Choice and the Need for Divine Governance
   The current system of governance, often lauded as democracy, is fundamentally flawed. The act of “voting” (투표, tupyo) is etymologically linked to “speculation” (투기, tugi), implying a casual, almost gambling-like approach to selecting leaders. This casual casting of ballots, devoid of rigorous discernment, leads to the election of incompetent or corrupt individuals. A more appropriate term would be “selection” (선표, seonpyo), signifying a deliberate and life-altering choice.

True democratic participation should require a qualification process. Citizens should undergo an examination to earn the right to vote, ensuring that only informed and responsible individuals participate in the selection of leaders. Without such a system, the nation risks being governed by those who exploit the uninformed populace, leading to societal decay. This necessitates a shift towards a Theocracy (신정주의, shinjeongjuui), a system where divine principles guide governance, ensuring justice and prosperity for all. This divine governance, or Huhkonomy (허코노미즘), aims to elevate all citizens to the middle class through policies such as the National Dividend System.

5. The Perils of Unwise Leadership and the Strength of a Unified Nation
   The analogy of a tiger encountering a person and an ox illustrates the critical role of leadership. An unwise person, upon seeing a tiger, might abandon their ox and flee, only to be pursued and devoured by the predator. The ox, when accompanied by its owner, exhibits immense courage and strength, defending its master with unwavering resolve. However, if the owner abandons the ox, it becomes vulnerable and powerless.

Similarly, a nation without a strong, unifying leader is akin to a disorganized rabble (오합지졸, ohapji-jol). Even with vast resources and a large population, such a nation will crumble in the face of adversity. Historical examples, such as Genghis Khan’s conquests or the unwavering loyalty of Japanese soldiers to their Emperor, demonstrate the transformative power of a singular, charismatic leader. When such a leader emerges, even a small force can achieve extraordinary feats. Conversely, the demise of a leader, like Hitler’s suicide, can lead to the immediate collapse of an entire army.

The Korean nation, with its 50 million people, possesses immense potential. However, without a divinely appointed leader, the God-man, it risks becoming a disorganized multitude, vulnerable to external threats and internal corruption. The current political climate, characterized by leaders who prioritize personal gain over national welfare, mirrors the unwise person abandoning their ox, leaving the populace to face the “tiger” of poverty and economic hardship.

6. The Wisdom of the Ox and the Path to National Prosperity
   The ox, unlike the horse or pig, possesses an innate wisdom. When faced with a raging river, the ox does not struggle frantically but allows the current to carry it, conserving its energy and ultimately surviving. The horse, in its frantic struggle, exhausts itself and perishes. This illustrates the principle of “ox lives, horse dies” (우생마사, usaengmasa), emphasizing the importance of patience and resilience over impulsive action.

The ox also symbolizes sacrifice (희생, hisaeng), a concept deeply embedded in the Korean language, where the character for ox (牛) is present in the word for sacrifice. Those who dedicate themselves to the welfare of others, like a pastor (목사, moksa), embody this spirit of sacrifice. They prioritize the well-being of their flock, much like the ox serves its farmer.

Therefore, even in the face of economic crises and global pandemics, a nation with a true leader, the God-man, can overcome any challenge. This leader, like the steadfast ox, will guide the nation through turbulent times, ensuring its prosperity and resilience.

7. The Critical Choice: Heaven’s Path or Hell’s Road
   The act of choosing leaders, often referred to as “selection” (취사선택, chwisa-seontaek), carries profound consequences. A misguided choice can lead the nation down a path of suffering, akin to a “highway to hell” (지옥대로, jiokdaero). Conversely, a wise selection can pave the way to a “highway of dividends” (배당대로, baedangdaero), where prosperity and freedom abound.

The current political discourse, often characterized by partisan divisions, distracts from this crucial choice. Focusing on superficial political rivalries prevents the nation from embracing the path of true progress. The emergence of the God-man in Korea signifies a pivotal moment, offering a unique opportunity to transcend historical limitations and establish a new era of national greatness. This divine leader, unlike emperors or kings, possesses the inherent ability to guide humanity towards a brighter future.

The decision to embrace this divine leadership is paramount. It is a choice between continued suffering and unprecedented prosperity. The National Dividend System, a cornerstone of this new paradigm, promises to liberate citizens from financial bondage, ushering in an era of abundance and freedom. This system, and the God-man who champions it, represent the sole viable solution for the salvation of Korea and all humanity.

1. The Essence of Cultivating a Virtuous Mind

The wisdom of ancient sages teaches us to perceive our physical body as the earth, our benevolent intentions as rice plants, and our malevolent thoughts as weeds. Just as the earth requires diligent care and fertilization to remain fertile, our bodies demand constant attention and cleansing. Neglecting our physical being is akin to abandoning fertile ground.

Similarly, a virtuous mind, like a rice plant in a paddy, necessitates continuous nurturing. We must diligently remove negative influences, much like weeding a field. The sages asserted that even a single day without contemplating goodness allows all forms of evil to spontaneously arise and dominate one’s being. This is comparable to a rice paddy becoming overrun with weeds if the farmer neglects it.

A farmer who regularly walks through the paddy, treading near the rice roots, introduces oxygen, strengthening the plants and making them resilient to typhoons. If the farmer remains absent, the rice plants become weak and easily toppled, as if retaliating for the neglect. This illustrates the reciprocal relationship between effort and outcome.

Maintaining a virtuous mind is an arduous endeavor. Even a lifetime dedicated to good deeds may still be deemed insufficient, as goodness is perpetually in short supply. Conversely, a single day of malevolent action can leave an indelible mark, its consequences enduring eternally. This principle is echoed in various spiritual traditions, where adherence to laws alone does not guarantee salvation, as the path of righteousness is boundless and challenging.

Therefore, we must always remember to treat our bodies like fertile land, cultivate good intentions like precious rice, and relentlessly eradicate negative thoughts, which, like weeds, will persistently regrow even after being cut down. A single act of malice can brand an individual for life, underscoring the importance of caution and ethical conduct.

2. The Political Landscape and the Proliferation of Corruption
   The current political climate often views politicians as weeds, their corruption and malfeasance perceived as inherent. They are seen as perpetually engaging in illicit activities, appearing only during elections, and acting with an air of indifference towards the populace. This perception arises because, like weeds, they seem to reappear despite attempts to remove them, embodying an “immortal, unkillable” spirit of self-interest.

This phenomenon stems from a fundamental neglect of the citizenry. If leaders fail to consider the welfare of the people for even a single day, avaricious thoughts and desires to exploit public funds inevitably arise. This leads to a proliferation of “thieves” within the state, not a scarcity of resources.

Life itself is transient and ephemeral, much like a clay ox walking on water, leaving no trace, or a snowflake melting instantly in a red-hot furnace. Yet, those who disregard the populace leave a negative imprint, destined for an unfavorable rebirth.

3. The Cycle of Reincarnation and Spiritual Ascent
   Individuals traverse a spiritual journey, ascending or descending through various forms of existence. For instance, a woman who performs many good deeds in one life may be reborn as a man in the next, signifying a significant spiritual advancement. Conversely, a man who fails to reciprocate the blessings of his previous life may regress to being reborn as a woman.

However, encountering the God-man (神人), the Creator, can fundamentally alter this trajectory, offering a direct path to the White Heaven (백궁), a realm of pure light and ultimate salvation, which is synonymous with what is commonly referred to as heaven. This encounter transcends the ordinary cycles of reincarnation, providing an unparalleled opportunity for spiritual elevation.

This spiritual journey is not unlike waves relying on water for their existence, or humans depending on the earth. Our physical bodies are transient, but our souls are constantly being evaluated, experiencing fluctuations and plateaus. To avoid becoming a “thief” in this spiritual sense is paramount, as such a path leads to profound negativity.

4. Economic Policies and the Need for Systemic Change
   The national budget, currently at 550 trillion Korean Won, could be managed more effectively. A significant portion, 400 trillion Korean Won, could be returned to the citizens, along with an additional 4 trillion, totaling 800 trillion Korean Won. This National Dividend System would revitalize the domestic economy and elevate the living standards of even the most disadvantaged, transforming them into a middle-class with a steady income throughout their lives.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where a few individuals can sustain millions, it is impractical for everyone to be solely focused on earning money. The current tax system disproportionately relies on large corporations, while the majority of citizens contribute less than they receive in benefits. Instead of excessive urban development, which is largely unnecessary given Korea’s already excellent infrastructure, these funds should be directly distributed to households.

For example, Seoul already boasts an excellent subway system and abundant public buses. Further investment in urban development is superfluous. Instead, these funds should support citizens’ living expenses, marriage costs, and dating expenses. Establishing a Marriage Department within the Seoul City Hall, led by a Minister of Marriage, could actively facilitate unions for single individuals in their 40s and 50s, addressing a societal challenge that families often cannot resolve alone.

The current political system, where leaders fail to prioritize the people, inevitably leads to widespread corruption. This necessitates a fundamental change in the system itself. This is why the National Revolutionary Party was founded. The assertion that “the nation is not lacking money; it is abundant with thieves” was first articulated by Huh Kyung-young, and its truth is now widely acknowledged.

5. Reforming the Electoral System and the Concept of “Selection”
   The current electoral process, often referred to as “voting” (투표), carries a connotation of “speculation” or “throwing away” (투기). This implies a casual, almost gambling-like approach to choosing leaders, where citizens “throw” their votes without careful consideration. This terminology is flawed and contributes to a superficial understanding of civic duty.

Instead, the act of choosing a leader should be termed “selection” (선표), signifying a deliberate and solemn choice, a commitment of one’s destiny. It is not a speculative act like gambling in a casino but a carefully considered decision. The current system, which allows anyone to vote without adequate understanding or qualification, leads to the election of corrupt individuals and the mismanagement of the nation.

To rectify this, a qualification examination should be implemented for voting rights. Only those who pass this examination, demonstrating a basic understanding of governance and history, should be granted the right to select leaders. This would elevate the quality of leadership and prevent the election of “thieves” who exploit the system.

This proposed system, termed Theocracy (신정주의), advocates for a governance structure where divine principles guide leadership, moving beyond the limitations of current democracy and capitalism. The current system, characterized by “mob rule” and unchecked capitalism, leads to societal decay and the concentration of power in the hands of the influential.

The Huhconomy (허코노미즘) and Huhcracy (허코시아그라시) represent a perfect political system, ensuring that all citizens achieve middle-class status through policies like the National Dividend System. This vision, encompassing the “Three-Three Policy” (삼삼 정책) and the National Dividend, is poised to transform the world.

6. The Wisdom of Humility and the Peril of Ignorance
   The wise understand the importance of humility and caution in their knowledge. While the foolish may only concern themselves with physical safety, the truly wise are mindful of their words and the potential consequences of their intellect. Those who claim wisdom but dismiss new ideas, such as Huh Kyung-young’s policies, without proper understanding, are destined for judgment.

The term “farmer” (농부) in Korean can refer to both men and women, yet often only the male form is commonly used. This highlights a narrow perspective, similar to how individuals view Huh Kyung-young through their own limited understanding.

7. The Power of Leadership and the Folly of Disunity
   In a perilous situation, such as encountering a tiger, a cow with its owner present will bravely defend its master, exhibiting immense strength and courage. However, if the owner flees, the cow loses its resolve and becomes vulnerable. This illustrates the critical role of a strong leader.

A populace without a capable leader is like an undisciplined mob (오합지졸). Even a vast army can be rendered powerless if its leader falls, as seen with historical figures like Genghis Khan or Hitler. A true leader inspires unwavering loyalty and courage, transforming ordinary individuals into a formidable force.

Conversely, leaders who prioritize their own gain, abandoning their people in times of crisis, leave the nation vulnerable to “poverty, the tiger.” This leads to widespread suffering and economic hardship.

The cow, unlike other animals, recognizes its owner and draws strength from their presence. This symbolizes the relationship between the people and a true leader. A strong leader, like a coach guiding a bull in a bullfight, empowers the people to overcome challenges.

The Korean people, with a genuine leader, possess the potential to lead the world. Just as Genghis Khan, with a small army, conquered vast territories through his leadership, Korea can achieve greatness with the right guidance.

The proverb “a cow lives, a horse dies in water” (우생마사) teaches us the wisdom of patience and resilience. Horses, in their frantic struggle, exhaust themselves and perish, while cows, remaining calm, often survive. This signifies that impetuousness leads to failure, while steadfastness leads to success.

The character for “sacrifice” (희생) in Korean incorporates the character for “cow” (牛), highlighting the cow’s symbolic role in selflessness. Those who dedicate themselves to the welfare of others, like pastors, embody this spirit of sacrifice.

Therefore, even in the face of economic crises or global pandemics, a capable national leader can empower the people to overcome any adversity. Without such a leader, the nation becomes an undisciplined mob, vulnerable to external threats and internal decay.

8. The Choice Between Destiny: Hell’s Path or the Dividend Path
   The act of “selection” (취사선택) in an election is a critical choice that determines the nation’s future. A misguided selection can lead to a “highway to hell,” a path of suffering and hardship. Conversely, choosing wisely can lead to the “dividend path,” a road to prosperity and freedom through policies like the National Dividend System.

The current political landscape, often characterized by partisan conflicts, risks leading the nation down the path of ruin. Korea, unlike other nations with emperors or kings, possesses the God-man, the Creator, who can guide the nation towards a brighter future. It is time for the Korean people to assert their unique destiny and embrace this divine leadership.

The choice is clear: the “dividend path” offers continuous financial well-being and liberation, while the “highway to hell” traps individuals in a cycle of financial constraint. The National Dividend System, championed by the God-man, is the sole solution for the salvation of Korea and all humanity.

Central Questions & Answers

1. What is the core problem with money in a nation, according to Huh Kyung-young?
   Question: What is the fundamental issue regarding a nation’s finances, and why does it seem like there’s never enough money for the people?
   Answer: the problem isn’t a lack of money in the nation, but rather an abundance of “thieves” or corrupt individuals within the political system. if politicians neglect the welfare of the people for even a single day, all manner of corrupt intentions arise, leading to the misappropriation of national funds. This corruption prevents the nation’s wealth from reaching its citizens.
   Key Quote: “It’s not that the nation has no money; it’s that there are too many thieves!”

2. How does Huh Kyung-young propose to reform national finances and improve citizens’ lives?
   Question: What specific policies does Huh Kyung-young advocate for to manage national finances more effectively and directly benefit the public?
   Answer: Huh Kyung-young plans to drastically cut government spending, proposing to use only 150 trillion won of the 550 trillion won national budget and return the remaining 400 trillion won (plus an additional 4 trillion) directly to the citizens as a National Dividend. This National Dividend System aims to elevate all citizens to the middle class, ensuring a steady income regardless of employment, especially in the coming 4th Industrial Revolution era where jobs may be scarce. He also criticizes excessive urban development and proposes redirecting those funds to citizens’ livelihoods, marriage, and dating expenses.

3. What is Huh Kyung-young’s perspective on the current democratic voting system?
   Question: Does Huh Kyung-young believe the current democratic voting system is effective, and what changes does he suggest for it?
   Answer: Huh Kyung-young is highly critical of the current “voting” (투표) system, which he likens to “speculation” (투기) or “throwing away” a ballot. He believes it leads to unqualified leaders being chosen by an uninformed populace. He proposes replacing “투표” with “선표” (선택한 표, chosen ballot) or “선출” (selection), emphasizing a deliberate and careful choice. Ultimately, he advocates for the God-manocracy (신정주의), where citizens must pass a qualification exam to earn the right to vote for presidents and national assembly members, ensuring that only informed individuals participate in selecting leaders.

4. What is the meaning of life and reincarnation according to Huh Kyung-young?
   Question: How does Huh Kyung-young explain the purpose of human life and the process of reincarnation, particularly concerning one’s actions and destiny?
   Answer: Huh Kyung-young teaches that human life is transient, like a mud ox walking on water or a snowflake melting in a red-hot furnace, leaving no trace. He explains that one’s actions in life determine their spiritual “score” and subsequent reincarnation. For example, a woman who performs many good deeds for men might be reborn as a man, representing an upward spiritual trajectory. However, failing to fulfill one’s purpose in the new life can lead to a decline, such as being reborn as a woman or even an animal. Meeting the God-man like Huh Kyung-young, however, can guarantee a direct path to Haneulgung (백궁 천국), a Heaven realm.

5. What is the significance of “good” and “evil” in daily life, and how does it relate to national leadership?
   Question: How does Huh Kyung-young define good and evil, and what are the implications for individuals and national leaders?
   Answer: “goodness” (선) is incredibly difficult to maintain and always feels insufficient, even if practiced throughout one’s life. In contrast, “evil” (악) can be committed in a single day but leaves a permanent stain. He uses the analogy of cultivating a field: one must constantly tend to good crops (like rice) and diligently remove weeds (evil thoughts). He extends this to national leadership, stating that if leaders fail to consider the people’s welfare for even a day, “thieves” (도둑) will inevitably rise, leading to corruption and national decline.

6. What is the role of a true leader in times of national crisis, according to Huh Kyung-young?
   Question: In times of crisis, what qualities and actions define a genuine national leader, and how do they impact the populace?
   Answer: A true leader is like a strong general (e.g., Genghis Khan or the Japanese Emperor in historical context) who inspires unwavering loyalty and courage in their followers. Without such a leader, even a large army becomes an “오합지졸” (disorganized rabble). Huh Kyung-young uses the analogy of a tiger appearing before a person and an ox: if the person flees, both are doomed. But if the person stands firm with the ox, the ox gains strength and protects its owner. Similarly, the God-man leader can empower the entire nation to overcome challenges like economic hardship or pandemics.

7. What is the meaning behind the “ox” analogy in Huh Kyung-young’s philosophy?
   Question: Why does Huh Kyung-young frequently use the analogy of an “ox” (소) in his teachings, and what does it represent?
   Answer: The ox symbolizes several virtues:
   Resilience and Wisdom: In a flood, an ox survives by not struggling, unlike a horse or pig that exhausts itself. This teaches patience and wisdom in adversity.
   Sacrifice: The Korean word for “sacrifice” (희생) contains the character for “ox” (牛), signifying that those who sacrifice, like pastors (목사), embody the spirit of the ox.
   Strength through Leadership: An ox gains infinite strength when its owner is present, protecting them from danger. This illustrates how citizens (the ox) become powerful when guided by a strong leader (the owner).
   Unyielding Nature: The ox represents being steadfast and not easily swayed, contrasting with the impulsive nature of a horse.

2. Core Messages
3. The Importance of Continuous Self-Cultivation:

• Quote: “하루만 불선이면, 하루만 착한 걸 생각하지 않으면, 죄악이 모든 악이 개작이. 그러니까 사람이 하루만 착한 것을 생각하지 않으면, 모든 악이 스스로 자기를 지배해 버린다.” (If one is unvirtuous for just one day, if one does not think of good for just one day, all evil will arise. if a person does not think of good for just one day, all evil will spontaneously dominate them.)
• Explanation: Just as a farmer must constantly tend to their field to prevent weeds from overtaking the rice, individuals must continuously cultivate good thoughts and actions to prevent evil from taking root.

2. The Root Cause of National Problems is Corruption, Not Lack of Funds:

• Quote: “국가에 돈이 없는 것이 아니라 도둑놈이 많다!” (It’s not that the nation lacks money; it’s that there are too many thieves!)
• Explanation: The nation’s financial difficulties are not due to insufficient resources but to systemic corruption and mismanagement by those in power who prioritize personal gain over public welfare.

• Quote: “투표를 할 자격을 가진 자는 시험을 봐, 고시를 봐 가지고 거기 붙어야 투표권을 주는 거야.” (Those who are qualified to vote should take an examination, pass it, and only then be granted the right to vote.)
• Explanation: The current system of “voting” (투표), which is likened to “speculation” (투기), allows unqualified individuals to make critical decisions. A more discerning approach, “selection” (선표/선출), is necessary, where citizens are educated and qualified to choose leaders.

4. The Indispensable Role of a Capable Leader:

• Quote: “징기스칸이 쳐들어가. 그러면 그냥 징기스칸이 살아 있어야 돼. 징기스칸이 죽었다? 그 군대는 죽은 군대야.” (Genghis Khan invades. Then Genghis Khan must be alive. If Genghis Khan dies? That army is a dead army.)

• Explanation: Success and survival in challenging times require the steadfastness and sacrificial spirit of a cow, rather than the impulsive and self-serving nature of a horse.

3. Detailed Summary

• Introduction to Huh Kyung-young’s Candidacy and Policies
  • Main Assertions: Huh Kyung-young is running for the Seoul mayoral by-election on April 7th. He will not accept a salary or entertainment expenses if elected. He plans to save 70% of Seoul’s budget, provide special grade water, abolish various property taxes, and implement policies that directly benefit Seoul citizens.
  • Practical Message: His policies are presented as selfless and truly benevolent, aimed at improving the lives of citizens.
• Critique of the Election Commission and Media Bias
  • Main Assertions: The Central Election Commission is unfairly excluding Huh Kyung-young from opinion polls and TV debates, despite his significant policy proposals.
  • Practical Message: Citizens are urged to be vigilant and not tolerate such unfair practices, as fairness is crucial for democracy.
• The Philosophy of Mind Cultivation and the Nature of Good and Evil
  • Main Assertions: The human body should be cared for like fertile land, good intentions like rice, and evil thoughts like weeds. Neglecting good thoughts for even a day allows evil to take over. Lifelong good deeds are always insufficient, while a single evil act leaves a permanent stain.
  • Analogies/Examples:
  • Land and Body: Just as land needs constant care (fertilizer, weeding), the body needs daily cleansing and maintenance.
  • Rice and Good Intentions: Rice (good intentions) requires constant attention, weeding out “pigs” (weeds/evil thoughts).
  • Farmer and Rice: A farmer’s constant presence in the rice paddies strengthens the rice, making it resilient to typhoons. Neglect leads to weak rice and weed infestation.
  • Practical Message: Continuous effort is required to maintain a good mind, as evil is always ready to sprout.
• The Political Landscape and the “Thieves” of the Nation
  • Main Assertions: Politicians are likened to “weeds” (잡초) that are inherently corrupt and self-serving. They neglect the people, leading to a proliferation of “thieves” (도둑놈) in the government.
  • Analogies/Examples: The analogy of weeds in a field is extended to politicians, who are seen as naturally prone to corruption and self-interest.
  • Practical Message: The current political system fosters corruption, and a fundamental change is needed to address the issue of “thieves” in power.
• The Impermanence of Life and the Path to Haneulgung
  • Main Assertions: Human life is transient, like a snowflake melting in a red-hot furnace or a mud ox disappearing in water. Reincarnation is a reality, and one’s actions determine their next life. Meeting God-man Huh Kyung-young offers a direct path to the White Heaven (Heaven).
  • Analogies/Examples:
  • Mud Ox in Water / Snowflake in Furnace: These illustrate the ephemeral nature of human existence.
  • Reincarnation Story: A personal anecdote about a staff member’s past and future lives, demonstrating how actions influence destiny and how meeting God-man can alter one’s spiritual trajectory.
  • Practical Message: Life is fleeting, and seeking guidance from God-man is crucial for spiritual elevation and reaching White Heaven.
• Economic Reform: National Dividend System and Critique of Urban Development
  • Main Assertions: The national budget of 550 trillion won is mismanaged. Huh Kyung-young proposes using 150 trillion for essential services and distributing 400 trillion (plus an additional 4 trillion) as a National Dividend to citizens. This will boost the economy and create a middle-class society. Excessive urban development and “pork-barrel” projects are wasteful.
  • Practical Message: Redirecting national funds directly to citizens through a National Dividend System is a more effective way to stimulate the economy and improve living standards than wasteful construction projects.
• Reforming the Electoral System: From “Voting” to “Selection”
  • Main Assertions: The term “투표” (voting) is problematic, implying “투기” (speculation) or “throwing away” one’s choice. It should be replaced with “선표” (selection) or “선출” (election), signifying a careful, life-altering choice. True democracy requires qualified voters who pass an examination.
  • Practical Message: Citizens need to approach elections with greater seriousness and discernment, understanding that their choices have profound consequences for the nation’s future.
• The Power of a True Leader and the Danger of “Ohabjijol”
  • Main Assertions: A nation without a strong, unifying leader becomes “오합지졸” (a disorganized rabble), easily defeated by challenges (like a tiger). A true leader empowers the people, making them formidable.
  • Analogies/Examples:
  • Tiger and Cow: A cow with its owner present can stand up to a tiger, but without the owner, it is vulnerable. This illustrates how a leader empowers the people.
  • Genghis Khan / Japanese Emperor / Hitler: Historical examples of leaders whose presence or absence determined the fate of their armies and nations.
  • Practical Message: The nation desperately needs a “genius leader” like God-man Huh Kyung-young to unite and empower its people to overcome challenges.
• The Wisdom of the Cow: Patience and Sacrifice
  • Main Assertions: The “우생마사” (cow lives, horse dies) principle teaches that patience and steadfastness lead to survival, while impulsiveness and self-serving actions lead to demise. The cow symbolizes sacrifice.
  • Analogies/Examples: The cow’s behavior in water (not struggling, allowing itself to drift) is contrasted with the horse’s frantic struggle, leading to its death. The character for “sacrifice” (희생) includes the character for “cow” (牛).
  • Practical Message: To succeed and overcome national crises, individuals and the nation must adopt the patient, steadfast, and sacrificial spirit of the cow.
• The Choice Between “Hell’s Highway” and “Dividend Highway”
  • Main Assertions: The act of “취사선택” (choosing and discarding) in elections determines whether the nation goes down “지옥대로” (Hell’s Highway) or “배당대로” (Dividend Highway). Continuing to choose traditional parties leads to ruin.
  • Practical Message: Citizens must make a careful and wise choice in elections, opting for the National Dividend System to secure a prosperous future.

6. Historical / Doctrinal Connections
   This lecture consistently builds upon Huh Kyung-young’s established teachings, particularly his 33 policies and the concept of God-man.

• 33 Policies and National Dividend System: The proposed policies for Seoul, such as saving 70% of the budget, abolishing property taxes, and the National Dividend System, are direct applications and extensions of his broader 33 policies aimed at national prosperity and citizen welfare. The National Dividend System (국민 배당금) is a cornerstone of his economic vision, repeatedly presented as the solution to economic inequality and the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

• Divine-Human Theory (God-man): The lecture reinforces his identity as God-man (神人), the divine human, who possesses unique abilities to guide individuals to the White Heaven (Heaven) and to lead the nation. His personal anecdotes about knowing past and future lives, and his ability to change a person’s spiritual trajectory, serve to validate his divine status. The idea that Korea has the God-man (神人) is presented as a unique strength compared to other nations with emperors or kings.

• Critique of Existing Political Systems: His strong critique of democracy (민주주의) as “mob rule” (대모) and “speculative voting” (투표) aligns with his long-standing advocacy for a Theocracy (시아 크라시 / 신정주의) or “Hukocracy” (허코시아 그라시), a divinely guided political system. This is not a new concept but is reiterated with renewed urgency, particularly in the context of perceived political corruption and inefficiency.

• Emphasis on Moral Rectitude: The analogies of cultivating land and rice to maintain a good mind are consistent with his teachings on personal responsibility and moral discipline, which are prerequisites for a healthy society and national success. This moral foundation underpins his vision for a just and prosperous nation.
  Newly Emphasized Points or Developments:

• Reinterpretation of “Voting” (투표) as “Speculation” (투기): While he has always critiqued the current political system, the explicit redefinition of “투표” as “투기” and the call for “선표” (selection) based on qualification is a more direct and pointed challenge to the fundamental mechanics of democratic elections. This suggests a deepening of his critique of conventional democratic processes.

• The “Hell’s Highway” vs. “Dividend Highway” Metaphor: This vivid metaphor for the consequences of electoral choices provides a stark and memorable framework for understanding the urgency of adopting his policies. It serves as a powerful call to action for the audience.

• Direct Acknowledgment and Critique of Other Political Figures: The lecture includes a segment where he plays a clip of another prominent politician acknowledging and seemingly praising his ideas, which he then uses to highlight perceived misrepresentations or attempts to diminish his influence by the media. This direct engagement with contemporary political discourse, while maintaining his non-critical stance on individuals, is a notable aspect.

7. Action Items & Blessing Guidance

8. Cultivate a Righteous Mind Daily: Continuously strive to think good thoughts and perform good deeds, actively “weeding out” negative or corrupt intentions, understanding that even a single day of neglect can lead to moral decay.

9. Discern Electoral Choices Wisely: Recognize that “voting” (투표) is not mere speculation but a profound “selection” (선표) that determines the nation’s future. Seek to understand policies deeply and choose leaders based on merit and genuine concern for the people, rather than partisan loyalty.

10. Support the National Dividend System: Understand that the National Dividend System is the key to national prosperity and individual well-being, and advocate for its implementation as a solution to economic challenges and corruption.

11. Recognize and Follow True Leadership: Understand the critical importance of a capable and unifying leader for the nation’s survival and success. Do not become “오합지졸” (a disorganized rabble) but rally behind a leader who can empower the people and guide them through crises.

12. Embrace Patience and Sacrifice: Adopt the steadfast and sacrificial spirit of the cow, avoiding impatience and self-serving actions, to achieve long-term success and overcome national difficulties.

13. One-Sentence Overall Summary
    This lecture by God-man Huh Kyung-young systematically diagnoses the nation’s problems as stemming from political corruption and a flawed democratic system, advocating for a transformative shift to a divinely guided “Hukocracy” and a National Dividend System, which he presents as the only path to national prosperity and the salvation of humanity, emphasizing the critical role of a true, unifying leader like himself to guide the people away from “Hell’s Highway” towards a future of abundance and spiritual elevation.

1. The Cultivation of Mind and Body: Analogies from Nature

Our bodies should always be regarded as fertile ground, akin to the earth itself. Just as land requires constant care and fertilization to remain productive, our physical forms demand daily cleansing and maintenance. Neglecting our bodies is comparable to abandoning a field; it will inevitably become barren.

Similarly, our benevolent intentions should be nurtured like rice paddies. Rice cultivation necessitates diligent effort, including the removal of weeds. A single day of neglecting virtuous thoughts can lead to an overwhelming proliferation of malevolent impulses. This phenomenon is analogous to a rice field quickly overrun by weeds if the farmer is negligent, resulting in a ruined harvest. Farmers must frequently traverse their paddies, as their footsteps aerate the soil, strengthening the rice plants and making them resilient to typhoons. This interaction signifies a symbiotic relationship between the farmer and the crop, where the plants reciprocate the care they receive.

Conversely, malevolent thoughts are akin to persistent weeds or invasive species. No matter how frequently they are cut down or plowed under, they invariably resurface. A single act of malice can leave an indelible mark, haunting an individual’s reputation throughout their life, much like a criminal record. This enduring consequence underscores the importance of ethical conduct.

2. The Political Landscape: A Reflection of Moral Neglect
   The current political climate in our nation reflects a profound neglect of the populace. When leaders fail to prioritize the welfare of the citizenry, a culture of corruption and avarice inevitably emerges. This is precisely why I assert that the nation’s financial woes stem not from a lack of resources, but from an abundance of corruption.

3. The Ephemeral Nature of Existence and the Path to Salvation
   Human existence is inherently transient, much like a clay ox traversing water or a snowflake melting in a fiery furnace, leaving no trace. Yet, those who disregard the welfare of the people will leave an undesirable legacy, destined for an unfavorable reincarnation. I often reveal individuals’ past lives and future destinies. For instance, a woman who performed many good deeds in a previous life may ascend to be reborn as a man, signifying a spiritual progression. However, if such an individual fails to uphold their virtuous conduct in their new life, their spiritual standing may decline, leading to a regression in their next incarnation.

However, encountering the God-man (神人), the Deity, can alter one’s destiny, leading directly to the White Heaven (백궁), the celestial realm. White Heaven is not merely a Heaven abode but a realm of pure light, devoid of darkness, which many refer to as paradise. God-man possesses the ability to discern one’s past and future, offering a path to ultimate salvation.

Our physical bodies are dependent on the earth, yet even the earth is temporary. Our souls, however, are constantly being evaluated, experiencing ascensions, plateaus, and descents. Therefore, avoiding the path of corruption is paramount.

4. Economic Policies and Societal Transformation
   Our national budget, currently at 550 trillion Korean Won, could be fundamentally reallocated. My proposal involves utilizing 150 trillion Won for essential services and redistributing 400 trillion Won, augmented by an additional 4 trillion Won, directly to the citizens. This National Dividend System would revitalize the domestic economy, elevating the living standards of even the most disadvantaged to that of the middle class, ensuring a steady income throughout their lives.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where a few individuals can sustain millions, it is impractical for everyone to be solely engaged in income-generating activities. The majority of citizens contribute minimally in taxes, with large corporations bearing the brunt of the tax burden. The current system disproportionately favors excessive urban development, which is often unnecessary. Seoul, for instance, boasts an excellent subway system and abundant public transportation. Instead of further construction, these funds should be directed towards citizens’ livelihoods, supporting marriage and dating expenses.

I propose establishing a Marriage Bureau within the Seoul City Hall, replacing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. This bureau would actively facilitate monthly gatherings for unmarried individuals across districts, providing food and entertainment to encourage marriage. The government should proactively address the challenges faced by single men and women in their 40s and 50s, fostering favorable conditions for marriage.

The current political system, where leaders neglect the populace, inevitably breeds corruption. This is why I advocate for a fundamental change in the system, not merely criticizing individuals. I propose establishing Spiritual Education Centers where journalists, politicians, and national leaders who have engaged in biased reporting or corruption would undergo rigorous training. Successful completion of an examination would be required for release; failure would result in indefinite detention. This initiative aims to rectify systemic flaws and instill a sense of responsibility.

5. Reforming the Electoral System: Beyond “Casting” Votes
   The term “투표” (tupyo), meaning “to cast a vote,” implies a speculative act, akin to gambling. This terminology is problematic as voting should be a solemn act of selection, not a casual toss. I propose replacing “투표” with “선표” (seonpyo), meaning “selected vote,” emphasizing the careful and deliberate choice involved.

Furthermore, I contend that the current democratic system, where anyone can vote regardless of their understanding of political issues, is flawed. To ensure informed decision-making, I propose implementing a Voter Qualification Examination. Only those who pass this examination, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of governance and policy, would be granted the right to vote for presidents and national assembly members. This system, which I term Theocracy (신정주의), aims to prevent the election of corrupt or incompetent leaders.

6. The Significance of Language and Personal History
   Many Korean words, such as “얼굴” (eolgul – face), “사랑” (sarang – love), and “지게” (jige – A-frame carrier), are not adequately defined in dictionaries, highlighting a deficiency in linguistic documentation. My personal history is deeply intertwined with the concept of suffering and sacrifice. I was born near Jungnang Bridge, a name that signifies “sad bridge” or “bridge of tears,” symbolizing the confluence of Eastern and Western sorrows. This origin reflects my purpose to alleviate human suffering.

My childhood was marked by arduous labor, particularly carrying heavy loads with an A-frame carrier (지게) up steep mountain paths to temples. This experience, which often left me with swollen and aching ankles, instilled in me a profound sense of caution and perseverance. I would study classical Chinese texts to distract myself from the pain, often falling asleep amidst my studies. This early life of hardship, endured without complaint, was a divine input from White Heaven, preparing me to address the suffering of humanity.

7. The Power of Leadership and the Wisdom of the Ox
   In times of crisis, such as economic hardship or a pandemic, a nation’s resilience hinges on its leadership. A strong leader, like a general inspiring their troops, can transform a disparate group into a formidable force. Conversely, the absence of effective leadership can lead to disarray and defeat, akin to an army losing its will to fight upon the death of its commander.

The analogy of the ox (소) is particularly insightful. In experiments where various animals are submerged in water, oxen consistently survive because they do not resist the current. They allow themselves to be carried, conserving energy. Horses, in contrast, struggle against the water, quickly exhausting themselves and perishing. This illustrates the principle of “우생마사” (Woosaengmasa): “the ox lives, the horse dies.” It teaches us to be steadfast and patient, rather than impulsive, in the face of adversity.

The ox also symbolizes sacrifice. The Chinese character for sacrifice (犧牲) incorporates the character for ox (牛), signifying the ox’s role in sacrificial rituals. This concept extends to spiritual leaders, such as pastors (목사), who embody a spirit of self-sacrifice for their flock. The ox’s unwavering loyalty to its owner, even in the face of danger, demonstrates that a unified populace, guided by a capable leader, can overcome any challenge.

8. The Choice Between Paths: Hell or the National Dividend
   The act of voting, or “취사선택” (chwisasontaek – selection and rejection), is a critical decision that determines the nation’s trajectory. A misguided choice can lead to a “road to hell,” characterized by economic hardship and societal decline. Conversely, choosing the path of the National Dividend System leads to a “road of dividends,” where citizens experience prosperity and freedom.

For too long, our nation has been caught in a cycle of political factionalism, akin to the ancient Silla and Baekje kingdoms. It is time to recognize that Korea possesses a God-man, the Deity, who can transcend these divisions and lead the nation to global prominence. This is not a time for complacency but for a resolute choice that will determine the future of our descendants.

The National Dividend System is the sole solution that can rescue South Korea and indeed all of humanity. No other alternative exists, nor is there any other individual on Earth possessing the capacity to implement such a transformative vision.

The Essence of Human Existence and the Path to Enlightenment

1. The Cultivation of Mind and Body: Lessons from Nature
   one’s body should always be regarded as the earth, one’s benevolent heart as rice plants, and one’s malevolent thoughts as weeds. This ancient wisdom, passed down by sages, emphasizes the continuous cultivation required for both physical and spiritual well-being. Just as the earth needs constant fertilization and care to remain fertile, the human body demands daily cleansing and maintenance. Neglecting the body leads to its deterioration, much like an unkempt field. Similarly, a benevolent heart, akin to rice plants in a paddy, requires diligent attention. One must constantly remove negative influences, like pulling out weeds, to allow goodness to flourish.

He explains that even a single day without contemplating goodness can lead to the proliferation of all evil. This concept is illustrated by a farmer’s paddy: if neglected for even a short period, weeds will overrun the rice, ruining the harvest. A diligent farmer frequently walks through the paddy, not only to remove weeds but also to aerate the soil around the rice roots, making the plants stronger and more resilient to typhoons. This interaction between the farmer and the rice symbolizes the constant effort needed to nurture a virtuous mind. The rice plants, in a metaphorical sense, acknowledge the farmer’s care and reciprocate by standing firm against adversity. Therefore, a benevolent heart must be nurtured as meticulously as rice plants, for even a day’s lapse can allow all forms of evil to spontaneously arise and dominate one’s being.

2. The Enduring Nature of Good and Evil
   Huh Kyung-young elaborates on the profound difference between the accumulation of good deeds and the lasting impact of evil actions. even a lifetime dedicated to performing good deeds may still be deemed insufficient. Goodness, by its very nature, is always perceived as lacking, never overflowing. No one, even after a life of virtuous acts, can claim to have done enough good; it is always considered a fundamental expectation. This perspective aligns with certain religious teachings, such as the Christian notion that adherence to laws alone cannot guarantee salvation, as the law is endless and human efforts are inherently limited.

Conversely, a single day of evil can leave an indelible mark that lasts forever. A person who commits a wicked act, even for a day, will be forever branded by it, carrying the stigma of a robber or a perpetrator of violence throughout their life. This lasting consequence extends to one’s descendants, serving as a cautionary tale. if one fails to contemplate goodness for even a single day, all forms of evil will arise and take control. Thus, even a lifetime of good deeds can be undone by a single act of malice committed just before death. This underscores the critical importance of constant vigilance over one’s thoughts and actions, treating one’s body like fertile ground and continuously weeding out malevolent intentions.

3. The Illusion of Material Existence and the Cycle of Rebirth
   Huh Kyung-young delves into the transient nature of human existence, likening it to a point of snow falling into a red-hot furnace or a clay ox walking on water. In both analogies, the trace of existence is fleeting and ultimately vanishes. A single snowflake in a blazing furnace leaves no mark, just as a clay ox dissolves in water, leaving no path. This, he asserts, is the ephemeral reality of human life. However, for those who disregard the welfare of the people, their actions leave a negative imprint, leading to an undesirable rebirth.

He claims the ability to reveal past lives and future destinations. For instance, he describes a person who was a woman in a previous life, performed many good deeds, and was reborn as a man, signifying a significant spiritual ascent. He explains that in the current cosmic rules, 90% of women are reborn as animals (such as cows, pigs, or dogs), 9% as women, and only 1% as men. Therefore, a woman being reborn as a man indicates a life of significant positive contributions, often involving self-sacrifice for men. However, he also suggests that without encountering the God-man like himself, even a man who ascended from a female past life might regress to being reborn as a woman due to a lack of continued spiritual effort. He then asserts that meeting the God-man guarantees a direct path to the White Heaven (백궁), which he equates with the Heaven realm, a place of pure light and absence of darkness.

4. The Interconnectedness of Existence and the Peril of Corruption
   Huh Kyung-young expounds on the fundamental interconnectedness of all existence, drawing parallels between natural phenomena and human life. waves exist by relying on water, just as human beings depend on the earth for their existence. Our physical bodies are sustained by the land, and without it, humanity would not exist. Yet, he reminds us that even our physical bodies, which rely on the earth, will eventually return to it. This transient nature of the physical realm contrasts with the eternal journey of the soul, which is constantly being evaluated, experiencing ascents, descents, and plateaus.

the ultimate wisdom lies in avoiding the path of a thief. To become a thief, he asserts, is an immensely detrimental act. He reinterprets an ancient saying, “If one does not contemplate goodness for a single day, all evils arise,” by replacing “evil” with “thieves.” Thus, he states, “If one does not contemplate the people for a single day, all thieves arise.” This, he claims, accurately describes the current state of South Korea. He views the nation’s politicians as akin to weeds, constantly engaging in corruption and self-serving activities, neglecting the welfare of the citizens. the nation’s financial woes stem not from a lack of funds, but from the abundance of “thieves” within the system.

5. The Flaws of Modern Governance and the Vision for a New System
   Huh Kyung-young critiques the current political system, particularly the allocation of national budgets. He highlights that South Korea’s national budget, approximately 550 trillion won, is largely mismanaged. He proposes a radical restructuring: using only 150 trillion won for essential services and returning the remaining 400 trillion won to the citizens. He even suggests adding 4 trillion won to this, distributing a total of 800 trillion won to the populace. This, he argues, would revitalize the domestic economy and elevate the living standards of even the poorest citizens to that of the middle class, providing a lifelong monthly income.

He explains that this “National Dividend System” (국민 배당금 제도) is crucial for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution, where automation will reduce the need for human labor, making it impossible for everyone to earn money through traditional means. He points out that the majority of citizens pay minimal taxes, with large corporations bearing the brunt of tax contributions. He criticizes excessive urban development, arguing that South Korea already boasts excellent infrastructure, including subways and buses. Instead of pouring money into unnecessary construction projects, he advocates for directing these funds directly into citizens’ households as a living allowance, marriage expenses, and dating support. He proposes establishing a “Marriage Department” (결혼부) within the Seoul City Hall to actively facilitate marriages among single men and women in their 40s and 50s, providing venues, food, and entertainment to encourage unions.

6. The Imperative of a New Political Paradigm: Shin-jeong-ju-ui (神政主義)
   Huh Kyung-young reiterates his core assertion: “It is not that the nation lacks money; rather, there are too many thieves.” He attributes this to a fundamental flaw in the system, where politicians, if they fail to consider the welfare of the people for even a single day, become susceptible to avarice. he has come to rectify this situation, proposing the establishment of “Spiritual Education Centers” (정신 교육대). In these centers, journalists who have engaged in biased reporting, politicians involved in corruption, and all national leaders would undergo rigorous education. They would be required to pass an examination to be released; failure would result in indefinite detention.

his criticism is not directed at individuals but at the flawed system itself. He aims to transform these erroneous systems, which led to the creation of the National Revolutionary Party (국가혁명당). He proudly states that he was the first to declare that the nation’s problem is not a lack of money but an abundance of thieves, a statement that has since been echoed by many. He also claims to have originated the “33 policies” (삼삼 정책) 33 years prior, which he says other politicians are now adopting. Despite being excluded from opinion polls and media coverage, he remains confident, believing that eventually, all will turn to his path.

7. Reforming the Language of Democracy: From “Casting Votes” to “Selecting Representatives”
   Huh Kyung-young critiques the very language used in democratic processes, specifically the term “투표” (tupyo), which translates to “casting a vote.” this term implies a speculative or gambling-like act, as if one is “throwing” a vote without careful consideration. He questions the notion of “throwing” one’s vote, suggesting it trivializes the profound act of choosing a leader. this casual approach to voting, akin to gambling, leads citizens to make impulsive decisions, such as simply choosing the ruling or opposition party without deep thought.

He proposes replacing “투표” (tupyo) with “선표” (seonpyo), meaning “selected vote.” This term, he explains, signifies a vote that has been carefully chosen, a decision made with one’s life and destiny at stake, not a mere gamble. it should be an “엄선” (eomseon), a meticulously selected vote. He believes that the current terminology fosters a mindset where citizens are encouraged to vote without proper discernment, leading to poor leadership choices. He suggests that this lack of careful selection is why the nation continues to face hardships, predicting that future generations will only seek out leaders like him when they face extreme difficulties, such as marrying at an advanced age due to economic struggles. He advocates for a future where citizens “엄선” (eomseon) their leaders, carefully scrutinizing each candidate rather than treating elections like a lottery.

8. The Profound Meanings Hidden in Language and Personal Origins
   Huh Kyung-young highlights the deficiencies in existing dictionaries, pointing out the absence of certain fundamental Korean words like “얼굴” (eolgul, face), “사랑” (sarang, love), and “지게” (jige, A-frame carrier). these words, deeply embedded in Korean culture and experience, should be properly defined. He then delves into the etymological significance of “얼굴” (eolgul), explaining it as a combination of “얼” (eoul, a lump or cluster) and “굴” (gul, a cave or den), signifying a “cave containing a cluster of DNA” or the brain. He criticizes the simplified, purely phonetic entries in modern dictionaries, which he believes obscure the deeper meanings of words.

He then connects his personal origin to profound symbolic meanings. he was born under Jungnanggyo (중랑교), which he interprets as “Sad Bridge” or “Bridge of Flowing Tears.” He explains that this bridge is where the waters from Samgaksan (삼각산), symbolizing Jesus’ crucifixion, and Buramsan (불암산), symbolizing Buddha’s nirvana, converge. The tears shed by the disciples of both figures, witnessing their respective events, flow into the Jungnangcheon (중랑천) river, where he was born. This, he asserts, means he was born from sorrow and lived his early life in tears, destined to alleviate the suffering of humanity. He describes his childhood, carrying a “지게” (jige) from a young age, enduring immense physical pain and using academic study to distract himself from the agony. This arduous upbringing, he claims, was a divine input from White Heaven (백궁), preparing him for his mission.

9. The Wisdom of the Ox and the Folly of Haste
   Huh Kyung-young illustrates a profound lesson through an experiment involving various animals in water. He recounts that when a cow, horse, dog, and pig were dropped into a river, all ten cows survived, while the horses, pigs, and dogs perished. The horses died first, followed by the pigs and dogs. The cows survived because they do not resist the current; instead, they allow themselves to be carried, naturally drifting to the calmer edges of the river due to their weight. In contrast, horses, with their quick movements, exhaust themselves by struggling against the water, ultimately succumbing to fatigue.

He connects this to human behavior, stating that “small-minded people” (소인) are preoccupied with their physical bodies, much like the horse that struggles and dies. The horse, despite its speed, perishes from its own temperament and frantic efforts. The cow, however, embodies wisdom by remaining calm and allowing nature to take its course. This leads to the proverb “우생마사” (usaengmasa), meaning “the cow lives, the horse dies.” this teaches us that to succeed, one must not be impatient like a horse but rather steadfast and diligent like an ox. this principle applies to navigating economic crises like the COVID-19 pandemic or periods of recession. With a proper leader, the nation can overcome any “tiger” of hardship.

10. The Power of Leadership and the Peril of Disunity
    the critical role of a true leader, illustrating his point with an analogy of a tiger encountering a cow and a human. He explains that if a person, upon seeing a tiger, abandons the cow and flees, the tiger will pursue and kill the fleeing human first, as predators instinctively target moving prey. The cow, initially frozen in fear, will remain still. However, if the human stands firm beside the cow, the cow gains immense strength and confidence, using its horns to defend its owner. In this scenario, the tiger will not dare to attack. The cow’s power, he asserts, comes from the presence of its owner, whom it recognizes and protects. Without the owner, the cow is powerless and will be devoured.

He applies this analogy to the nation, warning against “오합지졸” (ohap-jijol), meaning a disorganized rabble. even a large number of supporters are useless if they are cowards. Just as a small army under a strong leader like Genghis Khan can conquer vast territories, a nation with a true leader can achieve greatness. He cites historical examples: if Genghis Khan died, his army would collapse; if the Japanese Emperor died, the entire Japanese military would lose morale and surrender. South Korea, with its 50 million people, lacks such a unifying, genius leader. Without a leader who can inspire and command, the nation becomes a disorganized rabble, vulnerable to external threats and internal corruption. He warns that in times of crisis, many leaders would flee, leaving the citizens to face hardship alone, much like the cow abandoned by its owner.

11. The God-man and the Path to a Prosperous Future
    Huh Kyung-young concludes by emphasizing the critical importance of “취사선택” (chwisasenteak), meaning “selection and choice,” which he equates with voting. He warns that making the wrong choice in this selection can lead the nation down a “지옥대로” (jiokdaero), a “highway to hell.” He criticizes the tendency to blindly follow traditional political parties, likening them to the ancient Silla and Baekje kingdoms, which ultimately led to ruin. such choices will result in poverty, inability to marry, and the downfall of future generations. He urges careful consideration, stating that the nation is currently on the brink of this “highway to hell.”

He proclaims that while China and Japan have emperors and Heaven rulers, Korea possesses the God-man. He challenges the world to acknowledge this unique spiritual leader, asserting that with the God-man, Korea will no longer be a disorganized rabble, nor will it be exploited by other nations as it has been for centuries. He declares that the time has come for Korea to assert its power under the guidance of the God-man. the choice between the “highway to hell” and the “배당대로” (baedangdaero), the “dividend highway” (a path of prosperity through the National Dividend System), rests on the people’s careful selection. He promises that the “dividend highway” will bring freedom and continuous financial well-being, while the “highway to hell” will bind people with the chains of poverty. He firmly states that only the National Dividend System, led by the God-man like himself, can save South Korea and all humanity, as no other alternative or individual possesses such capabilities.

Executive Insight
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture presents a radical critique of South Korean politics, asserting that systemic corruption, rather than financial scarcity, is the root cause of national problems. He advocates for a transformative “God-man politics” and “National Dividend System,” promising to redistribute national wealth and elevate all citizens to the middle class. The core message is a call for a fundamental shift from conventional democracy, which he views as flawed and susceptible to “thieves,” to a meritocratic system led by a divinely capable leader. This vision, while offering a clear alternative to the status quo, relies heavily on His self-proclaimed unique abilities and presents a highly centralized, almost authoritarian, solution to complex societal challenges, with significant gaps in the practical implementation of its ambitious proposals.

What is the core message of this lecture? Korea’s national budget is not lacking money, but rather has too many “thieves”—corrupt politicians who mismanage funds, necessitating a shift to a “divine governance” system.

1. Introduction to Hur Kyung-young’s Candidacy and Core Message
   Hur Kyung-young, leader of the National Revolutionary Party, is running for Seoul mayor, advocating for policies that prioritize citizens and criticizing the current political system.

1.1. Hur Kyung-young’s Seoul Mayoral Candidacy and Policy Pledges

1. Hur Kyung-young is running for Seoul mayor in the April 7 by-election.
2. If elected, he pledges not to accept his mayoral salary or official expenses.
3. His policies include saving 70% of Seoul’s budget, ensuring a top-tier water supply, and abolishing various property taxes, all aimed at directly benefiting Seoul citizens.

1.2. Criticism of the Central Election Commission and Media Bias

1. The Central Election Commission is criticized for excluding Hur Kyung-young from opinion polls, which is seen as unfair.
2. There is a strong demand for him to be included in opinion polls and given equal opportunity in TV debates with other party candidates.
3. It is believed that informed Seoul citizens are closely monitoring this situation and will not tolerate such unfair treatment.

1.3. Introduction to Hur Kyung-young’s Philosophy and Lecture Series

1. Hur Kyung-young is introduced as the founder of the “33 Policy,” which includes a National Dividend System for the benefit of all South Koreans.

2. This lecture is the 274th in a series of Saturday lectures, which will eventually be compiled into a book.

3. This book will not be a traditional scripture but a “Jeongyeong,” combining economic and political wisdom.

4. The main topic of today’s lecture is that the country does not lack money, but rather has too many “thieves.”

5. The Importance of Cultivating a Good Mind and the Dangers of Neglecting It
   Just as one must diligently tend to land and crops, individuals must continuously cultivate good intentions and actively remove negative influences, because neglecting one’s moral compass, even for a day, can lead to an overwhelming surge of evil.

2.1. Analogy of Land, Crops, and Weeds for Self-Cultivation

1. Ancient sages taught that one’s body should be like land, a good heart like rice, and evil thoughts like weeds.
2. Just as land needs constant care and fertilization to be fertile, our bodies need daily cleansing and maintenance.
3. A good heart, like rice in a paddy, requires continuous attention and the removal of harmful elements, such as weeds.

2.2. The Rapid Growth of Evil When Goodness is Neglected

1. Neglecting good thoughts for even a single day allows all evil to take root and dominate a person.
2. This is similar to how a rice paddy quickly becomes overgrown with weeds if the farmer is negligent, ruining the crop.
3. Farmers must constantly tend to the paddy, stepping on the soil to aerate it and strengthen the rice plants, making them resilient to storms.
4. If a farmer neglects the paddy, the rice plants become weak and fall over during typhoons, as if seeking revenge.

2.3. The Enduring Nature of Evil Versus the Insufficiency of Good

1. Even a lifetime of good deeds is considered insufficient, as goodness is always seen as lacking.

2. In contrast, a single day of evil can leave a permanent mark, following a person throughout their life.

3. This concept is echoed in Christianity, where adherence to religious law alone is not enough for salvation, as the law is endless and cannot guarantee it.

4. Therefore, salvation is not simple, and neglecting good for even a day can lead to the rise of all evil.

5. A lifetime of good can be undone by a single bad act just before death.

6. Political Corruption and the Need for Systemic Change
   the nation’s financial problems stem not from a lack of funds, but from widespread corruption among politicians, who are likened to weeds that prioritize personal gain over public welfare.

3.1. Politicians as Weeds and the Problem of Corruption

1. He likens politicians to weeds or 잡초 (japcho), implying they are corrupt and self-serving.
2. These politicians are seen as naturally engaging in corruption and creating scandals.
3. They appear only during elections, acting as if they are entitled to votes, while honest individuals are excluded from their circles.
4. He suggests that these corrupt politicians believe they are indestructible, like weeds that grow back no matter how many times they are cut.

3.2. The “Thieves” in Government and Neglect of the People

1. if politicians neglect the people for even a day, they will inevitably develop “thieving” intentions, seeking to exploit public funds.

2. This leads to the conclusion that the nation’s financial problems are not due to a lack of money, but rather an abundance of “thieves” in power.

3. The Transience of Life and the Importance of Leaving a Positive Legacy
   Life is fleeting and leaves no lasting trace, much like a clay ox walking on water or a snowflake melting in a red-hot furnace; therefore, individuals, especially those in power, must strive to avoid becoming “thieves” and instead leave a positive mark on the world.

4.1. Metaphors for the Transience of Human Life

1. He uses the metaphor of a clay ox walking on water to illustrate that life leaves no trace.
2. Another metaphor is a snowflake falling into a red-hot furnace, which also leaves no trace.
3. These images emphasize the impermanence and insignificance of human life.

4.2. The Consequences of Neglecting the People

1. Those who neglect the people will not leave a positive mark but will instead be reborn as undesirable beings.

4.3. His Ability to See Past and Future Lives

1. He claims to be able to reveal people’s past and future lives.
2. An example is given of a male audience member who was a woman in a past life, ascended to a man due to good deeds, but would revert to a woman in the next life if he didn’t meet the speaker.
3. This is because he did not “repay” heaven for his elevated status.
4. 90% of women are reborn as animals, 9% as women, and 1% as men.
5. He also claims that 90% of women he asks say they were animals in a past life.
6. However, by meeting the speaker, the audience member is now destined for White Heaven.
7. White Heaven is described as a bright, pure place without darkness, equivalent to what people call heaven.
8. he knows all personal secrets, including bank account numbers and driver’s license numbers.
9. He’s presence offers a direct path to heaven, representing a significant spiritual ascent.
10. Being an MC for Mr. Huh is considered infinitely more valuable than working for organizations like the Bill Gates Foundation, as it is like being in “heaven on earth.”

4.4. The Interdependence of Humanity and Earth, and the Importance of Avoiding Corruption

1. Just as waves depend on water, humans depend on the earth for their existence.

2. However, the physical body is transient and returns to the earth.

3. The soul, in contrast, is constantly being judged, moving between decline and stagnation.

4. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid becoming a “thief,” as corruption is extremely detrimental.

5. He reinterprets a saying to mean that if the people are not considered for even a day, all forms of theft will arise.

6. Hur Kyung-young’s Economic and Social Policies for National Prosperity
   Hur Kyung-young proposes a radical restructuring of the national budget, redirecting funds from excessive urban development to direct citizen welfare through a National Dividend System, alongside social initiatives like a marriage promotion department.

5.1. Reallocating the National Budget for Citizen Welfare

1. He criticizes the current national budget of 550 trillion won.
2. He proposes using 150 trillion won for government operations and distributing the remaining 400 trillion won directly to the public.
3. He even suggests adding 4 trillion won to this, totaling 800 trillion won for citizens, which would boost the economy and elevate everyone to the middle class.

5.2. The Necessity of a National Dividend System in the 4th Industrial Revolution

1. The National Dividend System is essential because the Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to a future where a few individuals can support millions, making it impossible for everyone to earn money through traditional means.
2. Most citizens do not pay substantial taxes; instead, a few large corporations contribute the majority of tax revenue.
3. The taxes paid by ordinary citizens are often less than the benefits they receive.

5.3. Critiques of Excessive Urban Development and Proposals for Social Programs

1. He argues against excessive urban development, stating that existing infrastructure, like Seoul’s subway and bus systems, is already excellent.

2. He criticizes the proliferation of public and village buses, which discourage walking and have led to increased accidents involving children.

3. He also points out that seniors aged 65 and over already enjoy numerous free transportation benefits.

4. Instead of investing in more construction, funds should be directed to citizens’ households as National Dividends.

5. He pledges to halt all new development, wasteful spending, and regional development projects if elected Seoul mayor, redirecting those funds to citizens’ living expenses, marriage costs, and dating expenses.

6. He proposes replacing the Ministry of Gender Equality with a Ministry of Marriage to actively promote and facilitate marriages for single men and women in their 40s and 50s.

7. The Need for a “Divine Governance” System and Criticisms of Current Democracy
   He advocates for a “divine governance” system, arguing that current democratic practices, particularly the act of “voting,” are flawed and lead to corrupt leadership, necessitating a fundamental shift in political structure and terminology.

6.1. The Problem of “Thieves” in Government and the Proposed Solution

1. if leaders neglect the people for even a day, “thieves” will emerge, leading to corruption.
2. He proposes establishing “Spiritual Education Camps” where corrupt politicians, biased journalists, and other national leaders would undergo rigorous training and pass an exam to be released.
3. he criticizes the flawed system, not individuals, and aims to change it through the National Revolutionary Party.
4. He claims to be the first to state that the country’s problem is not a lack of money but an abundance of “thieves.”

6.2. His Influence and Media Exclusion

1. He claims to have originated the “33 Policy” 33 years ago, which other politicians are now adopting.
2. Despite his influence, he is excluded from opinion polls and media coverage.
3. He remains confident that eventually, everyone will turn to him.

6.3. Critique of the Term “Vote” (투표) and Proposal for “Select” (선표)

1. He criticizes the term “투표” (tupyo), which means “to cast a vote,” because the character “투” (tu) means “to throw” or “to speculate.”

2. voting should not be treated like speculation or gambling, where people randomly choose a party.

3. He proposes changing the term to “선표” (seonpyo), meaning “to select a vote,” emphasizing a careful and life-altering choice.

4. He believes that the current mindset of treating voting as a casual act contributes to national suffering.

5. He predicts that future generations, facing severe social issues like delayed marriages, will eventually seek his leadership and make a genuine “selection.”

6. He criticizes the idea of random selection, like drawing lots, for choosing leaders.

7. He also points out that the character for “election” (선거) includes the radical for “hand” (手), implying a deliberate act, not a casual “throwing” of a vote.

8. the current terminology is flawed and needs to be corrected.

9. His Background, Wisdom, and Vision for a New Political System
   He shares personal anecdotes of hardship and self-education, using them to highlight the importance of careful decision-making and to advocate for a “divine governance” system that replaces flawed democratic practices.

7.1. His Personal History and the Meaning of His Birthplace

1. He mentions that he speaks gently despite internal struggles, implying that those who experience his “Spiritual Education Camp” will understand his true intensity.
2. He points out that common words like “얼굴” (eolgul, face), “사랑” (sarang, love), and “지게” (jige, A-frame carrier) are missing from Korean dictionaries, indicating a deficiency in language and understanding.
3. He explains that his birthplace, Jungnanggyo (중랑교), translates to “sad bridge” or “bridge of tears,” symbolizing the suffering he was born into.
4. He describes the geographical features around his birthplace, where waters from mountains representing Jesus (Samgaksan) and Buddha (Buramsan) converge, symbolizing the merging of Eastern and Western tears.
5. This background signifies his mission to alleviate human suffering.

7.2. Childhood Hardship and the Pursuit of Knowledge

1. He recounts his childhood, carrying a jige (A-frame carrier) from a young age, a tool that was a source of great pain but also enlightenment.
2. He spent years in various temples, notably Soyosan Jajaeam, where he frequently carried heavy loads like salt and rice over long, steep, and rocky paths.
3. These arduous tasks caused him severe pain, especially in his ankles, which were constantly swollen.
4. To cope with the pain, he immersed himself in studying classical Chinese texts, finding that intense focus on learning helped him forget his physical suffering and eventually fall asleep.
5. This experience taught him the importance of caution and perseverance.

7.3. The Flaws of Democratic Voting and the Need for Qualified Leadership

1. He criticizes the current voting system, stating that leaders should be “선출” (seonchul, selected), not merely “voted” for through a flawed process.

2. democracy is not the ultimate solution and that citizens need to realize its limitations.

3. He proposes that only those who pass a qualification exam should be allowed to vote for presidents and national assembly members.

4. He believes that allowing unqualified individuals to vote leads to the election of corrupt leaders, or “thieves,” who ruin the country.

5. He advocates for a shift from democracy to “신정주의” (sinjeongjuui, theocracy) or “시아 크라시” (theocracy), a system of divine governance.

6. This system would replace the current “mob rule” or “crowd power” with a more perfect political structure.

7. He also criticizes the combination of “mob rule” and capitalism, which allows powerful individuals to dominate.

8. He proposes “허코노미즘” (Huhkonomism) and “허코시아 그라시” (Huhkosiacracy) as a perfect political system that ensures all citizens become middle class through policies like the “33 Policy” and National Dividends.

9. This new political system is predicted to impact the world for 20 years.

10. Endorsements, Criticisms, and the Importance of a True Leader
    He highlights how his policies have been adopted by other politicians, criticizes media bias against him, and uses analogies of animal behavior and historical leaders to emphasize the critical role of a strong, visionary leader in national prosperity and resilience.

8.1. Other Politicians Adopting Hur Kyung-young’s Policies

1. He notes that his policies, such as providing 200,000 won monthly to seniors over 65, have been adopted by other politicians, including former President Park Geun-hye.
2. He mentions that Lee Jun-seok, a former interim leader of the Grand National Party, also acknowledged his influence on senior welfare policies.

8.2. Lee Jae-myung’s Acknowledgment and Media Bias

1. He plays a clip of Lee Jae-myung, then governor, praising him and echoing his statement that “the country doesn’t lack money, but has too many thieves.”
2. He criticizes the media for altering Lee Jae-myung’s words, changing “respect” (존경) to “like” (좋아한다) and “teacher” (선생) to “Mr.” (씨), to diminish his standing.
3. He interprets this as an attempt by the media to undermine him.

8.3. His Stance on Political Criticism and the Role of Knowledge

1. he does not criticize individuals but rather the flawed political system.
2. He respects all politicians and wishes them well, acknowledging their intelligence.
3. He distinguishes between “foolish people” who only care for their bodies and “wise people” who must be cautious with their knowledge.
4. He warns that those who, despite their knowledge, misjudge or disparage him based on incorrect information will face judgment.

8.4. The Nuance of Language and the Importance of “Caution”

1. He discusses the nuances of the Korean word for “farmer” (농부), noting that there are different characters for male and female farmers, and that dictionaries may not always capture these distinctions.
2. his childhood experience of carrying a jige taught him the paramount importance of “조심” (josim, caution), as a single mistake could lead to disaster.

8.5. Animal Analogies for Leadership and National Strength

1. He uses an experiment where animals are dropped into water: cows survive by not resisting, while horses, pigs, and dogs drown due to their struggle.

2. This illustrates the wisdom of being steady and not panicking, like a cow.

3. He then uses an analogy of a tiger encountering a cow and a human: the tiger attacks the fleeing human first, but if the human stays with the cow, the cow protects the human with immense strength.

4. This demonstrates that a leaderless group (like a cow without its owner) is vulnerable, but with a strong leader, even the weak become powerful.

5. He applies this to the concept of “오합지졸” (ohapjjijol, a disorganized rabble), stating that even a large group is useless without a strong leader.

6. Historical examples like Genghis Khan and the Japanese Emperor are cited to show how a powerful leader inspires unwavering loyalty and strength in their followers.

7. He warns that without a genius leader, South Korea would become a disorganized rabble, vulnerable to external threats, with politicians fleeing in times of crisis.

8. South Korea needs a “천재적인 지도자” (cheonjaejeogin jidoja, genius leader) to unite its 50 million people and lead them to global dominance.

9. The Significance of Sacrifice and the Call for a “Mighty Leader”
   He emphasizes the concept of sacrifice, particularly through the symbolism of the cow, and reiterates the urgent need for a “mighty leader” to guide the nation away from economic hardship and towards prosperity, contrasting this path with the “road to hell” of continued political corruption.

9.1. The Symbolism of the Cow and Sacrifice

1. He explains that the cow, unlike other animals, recognizes its owner and gains immense strength when the owner is present, symbolizing the power of the people with a true leader.
2. He notes that the Chinese character for “sacrifice” (희생) includes the character for “cow” (牛), highlighting the cow’s role in selflessness.
3. He connects this to religious figures like pastors (목사), whose character also contains “cow,” signifying their sacrificial role.
4. The cow’s willingness to die for its owner and its eventual rebirth as a human symbolizes its wisdom and lack of fear of death.
5. The proverb “우생마사” (usaengmasa), meaning “cows live, horses die” in water, teaches that patience and steadfastness, like a cow, lead to success, while impatience, like a horse, leads to failure.

9.2. The Urgent Need for a “Mighty Leader” to Overcome Challenges

1. with a proper leader, South Korea can overcome economic crises and challenges, likening them to a “tiger.”
2. He warns against becoming a “오합지졸” (ohapjjijol, disorganized rabble), emphasizing that even a large army is useless without a strong commander, as seen in historical examples like General MacArthur.
3. He proclaims himself as a “만능 지도자” (manneung jidoja, almighty leader), the first of his kind in billions of years, capable of guiding the nation to peace and prosperity.

9.3. External Endorsements and the Warning Against “Socialism”

1. He plays a clip of a fortune teller, Lee Min-chan, who criticizes the current political system as “totalitarianism under the guise of democracy” and warns that the public is like “frogs dying in boiling water.”
2. Lee Min-chan advocates for Hur Kyung-young’s National Dividend System as the solution to political corruption and the key to completing democracy, especially in the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution.
3. Lee Min-chan also warns that the nation is heading towards socialism if the public does not awaken, and that the mainstream media is promoting this shift.
4. In contrast, Hur Kyung-young’s “중산주의” (jungsanjuui, middle-class-ism) is presented as a system that brings prosperity, justice, fairness, and freedom, rooted in love for the people and mature freedom.
5. The clip also raises concerns about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly lower-grade vaccines, and the public’s anxiety over their efficacy and potential side effects.

9.4. The Critical Choice: “Road to Hell” vs. “Dividend Road”

1. He interprets the act of voting as “취사선택” (chwisaseontaek, selection and rejection), where one chooses some candidates and rejects others.
2. He warns that making the wrong choice in this selection can lead to the “지옥대로” (jiokdaero, road to hell), where people become impoverished and their children suffer.
3. He criticizes the continuous partisan struggles between “Silla” and “Baekje” (referring to historical Korean kingdoms, symbolizing political factions) as leading nowhere.
4. South Korea, unlike China or Japan with their emperors, has a “신인” (sinin, divine human), referring to himself, who can transform the nation and the world.
5. He urges the public to be resolute and recognize that they are no longer a “disorganized rabble” but have a divine leader.
6. The choice is between the “road to hell,” characterized by financial bondage, and the “배당대로” (baedangdaero, dividend road), which offers continuous financial freedom through the National Dividend System.
7. He concludes by stating that only the National Dividend System and his divine leadership can save South Korea and humanity, as no other solution or capable individual exists on Earth.

1. The Essence of Cultivating a Virtuous Mind

Our bodies should always be regarded as fertile ground, our good intentions as precious rice stalks, and our negative thoughts as invasive weeds. Just as we fertilize and tend to the soil, we must diligently care for our bodies, cleansing and nurturing them daily. Similarly, our virtuous thoughts require constant attention, like rice plants in a paddy. We must continuously remove the “weeds” of negative influences. If we neglect our good intentions for even a single day, all forms of evil will spontaneously arise and dominate us. A farmer’s momentary idleness can quickly turn a rice paddy into a field of weeds, ruining the harvest. Farmers must frequently walk through their fields, treading near the rice roots to aerate the soil, making the plants stronger and more resilient to typhoons. The rice plants, in a sense, respond to the farmer’s care. If a farmer never visits, the plants will fall during a storm, as if retaliating for the neglect.

Therefore, we must always cultivate our good intentions like precious rice. It is said that even a lifetime of good deeds is insufficient, as goodness is always lacking. No one, even at the end of their life, can claim to have performed enough good deeds; it is simply considered natural. However, a single day of evil can leave an eternal stain. A person who commits evil for just one day will be forever branded as a robber or a criminal. This is why we must be cautious. Our bodies should be managed like fertile land, and our good intentions nurtured like rice. Negative thoughts, however, are like persistent weeds; no matter how often they are cut down, they will regrow. Evil, like these weeds, can resurface even after being suppressed.

2. The Political Landscape and the Roots of Corruption
   The current state of our nation’s politics reflects this principle. Many politicians are viewed as “weeds”—their corruption is seen as inherent. They constantly engage in illicit activities, receiving donations and disappearing until election season. They act as if they are untouchable, like “immortal weeds” that cannot be eradicated. If leaders fail to consider the welfare of the people for even a single day, all manner of avarice and thievery will emerge. This is why I assert that “it is not that the nation lacks money, but that there are too many thieves.”

Consider the analogy of a clay ox walking on water, or a single snowflake falling into a blazing furnace. No trace remains. This illustrates the transient nature of human life. Yet, those who disregard the people’s welfare leave a negative mark, destined to be reborn into unfavorable circumstances.

3. The Cycle of Reincarnation and Spiritual Ascent
   When individuals come to me, I reveal their past lives and their future destinations. For instance, a person who was a woman in a past life and performed many good deeds might be reborn as a man, signifying a significant spiritual ascent. In the current cosmic rules, approximately 90% of women are reborn as animals, 9% as women, and 1% as men. If a woman is reborn as a man, it indicates she performed many good deeds for men in her previous life, perhaps enduring hardships and remaining faithful.

However, if such a person, reborn as a man, fails to reciprocate this blessing from Heaven, their spiritual score may decline, leading to a potential rebirth as a woman. This signifies a downward trend in their spiritual journey. Yet, meeting the God-man like me can alter this trajectory, leading directly to the White Heaven. White Heaven is a realm of pure light, devoid of darkness, which is what many refer to as paradise. We can precisely discern where one comes from and where one is headed.

4. The Impermanence of Existence and the Peril of Corruption
   Our lives are transient, like waves dependent on water. Just as humans rely on the earth for existence, our physical bodies are bound to it. However, with time, we return to the earth. Our souls, though, are constantly being evaluated, experiencing ascent, descent, or stagnation. Avoiding corruption is paramount, as becoming a thief is a grave transgression. If leaders neglect the people, all forms of thievery will proliferate.

Our national budget is approximately 550 trillion Korean Won. My plan is to use 150 trillion and return 400 trillion to the citizens. With an additional 4 trillion, I propose returning 800 trillion to the people. This would revitalize the domestic economy and elevate the lowest income earners to the middle class, as they would receive monthly payments for life. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where a few individuals can sustain millions, not everyone can be solely focused on earning money. A select few generate wealth and pay taxes. The majority of citizens pay relatively little in taxes, and their contributions are insufficient to cover even public servant salaries. Large corporations bear the brunt of tax contributions.

Instead of excessive urban development, which is often unnecessary, these funds should be distributed directly to households. Seoul already boasts an excellent subway system and abundant public buses. Further development is wasteful. The money allocated for urban development should be given to citizens as a national dividend. I would halt all unnecessary development and allocate those funds to citizens’ living expenses, marriage costs, and dating expenses. I would establish a “Marriage Department” within the Seoul City Hall to organize monthly gatherings for unmarried individuals in each district, providing food and entertainment to encourage marriage. The government should step in to address issues that families cannot resolve, such as the high number of unmarried men and women in their 40s and 50s.

5. Reforming the Political System and the Concept of “Selection”
   The current political system is flawed. I propose establishing “Spiritual Education Centers” where journalists who have engaged in biased reporting, politicians involved in corruption, and other national leaders would undergo rigorous education. They would only be released upon passing an examination, with no time limit for those who fail. I criticize the system, not individuals, and aim to transform these erroneous structures.

I was the first to declare, “It is not that the nation lacks money, but that there are too many thieves!” This statement, made 33 years ago, has since been adopted by many politicians. Despite this, I am excluded from opinion polls and media coverage. However, I remain steadfast, knowing that eventually, all will turn to me.

The current concept of “voting” (투표, tupyo) is problematic. The character for “투” (tu) means “to throw” or “to speculate.” This implies that people “throw” their votes like a gamble, choosing between parties without careful consideration. This is not a choice; it is speculation. Voting should be a solemn act of “selection” (선표, seonpyo), where one carefully chooses their destiny. It is not a casino game. This misnomer reflects a public mindset that needs to change. Perhaps only when people experience greater hardship, when their children consider marriage at 70, will they truly seek out Huh Kyung-young.

The current system of universal suffrage, where anyone can vote regardless of their understanding, leads to the election of corrupt individuals. To truly reform the nation, we need a system where citizens must pass a qualification exam to earn the right to vote for the president and national assembly members. This is not about restricting democracy but ensuring informed participation. This is why I advocate for Theocracy, a system of divine governance. While I must currently participate in the existing democratic framework, my ultimate goal is a system where voters are qualified.

6. The Perils of Mob Rule and the Promise of a New Economic Order
   The current system, where the power of the masses (democracy) is combined with capitalism, leads to powerful individuals dominating and exploiting the system. This is why a national dividend is essential. We must abolish this flawed system and embrace Huhconomism and Huhcracy, a perfect political system guided by divine principles. This system, which includes the “Three-Three Policy” and the national dividend, will revolutionize the world for the next 20 years.

Even other politicians, like Governor Lee Jae-myung, have acknowledged and adopted my policies, such as the elderly allowance. He even quoted my statement about the nation having too many thieves, agreeing with it wholeheartedly. However, there are attempts to diminish my standing, such as media outlets changing “God-man Huh Kyung-young” to “Mr. Huh Kyung-young.” This reveals a deliberate effort to undermine my authority.

7. The Wisdom of Caution and the Power of a True Leader
   Foolish individuals are cautious about their bodies, like me when I carried heavy loads on my A-frame carrier (지게, jige) as a child. One wrong step could lead to a fall and ruin the goods. This ingrained in me the importance of caution. However, wise individuals must be cautious about their knowledge. A single misspoken word can have severe consequences. Politicians, who consider themselves wise, rely on their knowledge. They must be careful not to dismiss or misrepresent my policies out of ignorance or prejudice. Those who belittle me will face judgment.

The term “farmer” (농부, nongbu) can refer to both men and women. Yet, some use only the male-specific character, reflecting a narrow perspective. Similarly, people view me through their own limited understanding.

Consider the analogy of animals in water: cows survive, while horses, pigs, and dogs perish. Cows do not resist the current, allowing themselves to be carried, while others struggle and exhaust themselves. This illustrates the wisdom of non-resistance.

Furthermore, when a tiger appears, a foolish person flees, becoming the tiger’s immediate prey. A cow, however, stands its ground, especially with its owner present. The cow’s confidence, knowing its owner is there, deters the tiger. But if the owner flees, the cow loses its strength and is devoured. This highlights the importance of a strong leader.

8. The Indispensable Role of a Visionary Leader
   A multitude of supporters, if they are cowards, are like a disorganized rabble. Just as Genghis Khan’s army was formidable because of his presence, a nation needs a powerful leader. If Genghis Khan were to die, his army would crumble. Similarly, if the Japanese Emperor were to fall, the entire Japanese military would collapse into disarray. The position of a leader is immensely powerful. If the God-man like me were to lead South Korea, the nation would conquer the world. But if politicians merely steal my policies, what will become of the nation?

When a tiger (representing economic hardship or crisis) appears, if leaders abandon their people (the cows) and flee with their ill-gotten gains, the nation will be devoured by poverty. I am running for president to prevent this. Cows recognize their owners and draw strength from their presence. In a bullfight, the bull fights with vigor when its owner is visible, coaching it. The people are like these cows, and a great leader is their owner. Even a small army, led by a Genghis Khan, can conquer vast territories. It is time for a Genghis Khan to emerge in South Korea.

Cows are wise; they do not struggle in water. They allow themselves to be carried by the current, eventually drifting to the side. Horses, however, struggle and exhaust themselves. This teaches us that those who are impatient, like horses, will not succeed. We must be steadfast like cows. The character for “sacrifice” (희생, heesaeng) includes the character for “cow” (牛), signifying the cow’s sacrificial nature. Pastors, for example, embody this sacrificial spirit.

Even in the face of economic tigers like the COVID-19 pandemic, if our nation has a true leader, we have nothing to fear. We can overcome poverty and recession. We must not become a disorganized rabble. If General MacArthur had died during the Incheon Landing, his troops would have become a disorganized rabble. A leader’s role is crucial in times of war and crisis. I am a versatile leader, the first of my kind in billions of years, capable of guiding the people to peace and prosperity.

9. The Choice Between Hell and the Path of National Dividend
   The current political climate, disguised as democracy, is leading towards totalitarianism. The people are like frogs slowly boiling in water, unaware of the danger. Government aid, often riddled with corruption, benefits unscrupulous individuals. The only way to complete democracy and escape this contradictory political system is through Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend System. The media and National Assembly must fairly include me in opinion polls. The National Dividend System is crucial for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution.

If the people do not awaken, we will descend into socialism. Entrusting power to the left will accelerate this process. Mainstream media, acting as an entrenched power, promotes socialist tendencies. While socialism impoverishes the people, my “Middle-Class-ism” (중산주의, jungsanjuui) enriches them. The National Dividend System is the most just, fair, and free system, rooted in profound love for the people and a mature spirit of freedom. It is the solution for the future.

The choice we face is between the path to hell and the path of the national dividend. If we make the wrong choice, clinging to old political factions, we will likely end up on the path to hell. We must be cautious in our selection. If we choose the path of the national dividend, we will find freedom. On the path to hell, money will bind us, making life unbearable. But on the path of the national dividend, money will continuously flow to us. The National Dividend System is the only way to save South Korea and all humanity. No other alternative exists, and no other individual on Earth possesses the ability to achieve this.

Introduction to the 274th Saturday Lecture
Huh Kyung young, the President of the National Revolutionary Party, is a candidate in the upcoming Seoul mayoral by-election on April 7th. Should he be elected, he pledges to forgo his mayoral salary and official expenses, aiming to reduce the Seoul metropolitan budget by 70%. His proposed policies, including the provision of premium water and the abolition of various property taxes, are designed to directly benefit Seoul citizens, reflecting a selfless and genuinely benevolent approach to governance. Despite these intentions, the Central Election Commission has inexplicably excluded Huh Kyung young from public opinion polls. This lecture strongly urges the Central Election Commission, whose integrity is paramount, to immediately include Huh Kyung young in all public surveys and to grant him equitable opportunities in televised debates alongside candidates from other political parties. The discerning citizens of Seoul are closely observing this situation and will not tolerate such injustices. This 274th Saturday lecture will delve into the profound policies of Huh Kyung young, the originator of the “33 Policy” and the “National Dividend System,” which are considered the most advanced policies in human history for the benefit of the Korean people.

The Philosophical Analogy of Land, Rice, and Weeds
Ancient sages taught that one’s body should be regarded as land, a virtuous mind as rice, and an evil mind as weeds. Just as land requires constant cultivation and fertilization to remain fertile, our bodies demand daily care and cleansing. Neglecting the body leads to its deterioration, much like uncultivated land. Similarly, a virtuous mind, akin to rice in a paddy field, requires diligent attention. Any negative influences, like weeds, must be continuously removed to ensure its healthy growth. Maintaining a virtuous mind is a challenging endeavor, as even a single day without contemplating goodness can lead to the proliferation of all forms of evil.

The Peril of Neglecting Virtue: A Metaphor of the Rice Paddy
The proverb states, “If one does not contemplate goodness for a single day, all evils will spontaneously arise.” This means that if a person neglects virtuous thoughts for even one day, all forms of wickedness will take root and dominate their being. This phenomenon is analogous to a rice paddy: if a farmer becomes complacent for even a short period, the field quickly becomes overrun with weeds, ruining the rice harvest. To prevent this, a farmer must constantly tend to the paddy, walking through it, pulling out weeds, and ensuring proper aeration for the rice roots. This constant interaction strengthens the rice plants, making them resilient against typhoons. A neglected paddy, where the farmer does not walk among the plants, results in weak rice that easily topples in strong winds. The rice plants, in a sense, reciprocate the farmer’s care or neglect. Therefore, a virtuous mind, like a rice paddy, must be continuously nurtured and protected from the “weeds” of evil thoughts.

The Enduring Nature of Good and Evil
The pursuit of goodness is an arduous and unending task. Even if one dedicates their entire life to performing good deeds, goodness always remains insufficient. Goodness is never in excess; it is perpetually lacking. No one, even at the end of their life, can claim to have done enough good. It is simply considered a natural expectation. Conversely, a single act of evil, committed for just one day, leaves an indelible mark that lasts forever. The consequences of evil are permanent. This concept is reflected in Christian theology, where adherence to the law, no matter how strict, cannot guarantee salvation. The law is endless, and salvation cannot be achieved through legalistic observance alone. This highlights the profound difficulty and perpetual insufficiency of human efforts towards goodness.

The Impermanence of Life and the Cycle of Rebirth
Human life is inherently transient and fleeting. It is like a single snowflake falling into a blazing furnace, leaving no trace. This profound impermanence defines human existence. However, those who fail to regard the populace as their own people, those who act with self-interest, will not leave a positive legacy. Instead, they are destined to be reborn into an unfavorable human existence.

The Journey of the Soul: Ascending and Descending Paths
Huh Kyung young possesses the ability to reveal an individual’s past and future lives. For instance, a person who was a woman in a previous life and performed many good deeds might be reborn as a man, signifying an upward trajectory in their spiritual journey. In the current cosmic rules, approximately 90% of women are reborn as animals, 9% as women, and only 1% as men. When asked, 90% of women confirm having been animals in their past lives. The transition from a female to a male existence indicates significant positive actions, such as selflessly serving men, enduring hardships, and remaining faithful. However, if this individual, now a man, fails to reciprocate the blessings received from heaven, their spiritual graph may decline, leading to a rebirth as a woman. This descent occurs if they do not fulfill their Heaven obligations in their current male life.

The Path to the White Heaven through Huh Kyung young
Encountering Huh Kyung young fundamentally alters one’s spiritual trajectory. If an individual meets Huh Kyung young, their destiny shifts from a potential rebirth as a woman to a direct ascent to the White Heaven. White Heaven, meaning “White Heaven,” signifies a realm of ultimate brightness and absence of darkness, which is synonymous with what people commonly refer to as “heaven.” The term “heaven” itself is not used in White Heaven. Therefore, through Huh Kyung young, one can definitively understand their origin and ultimate destination. The “angels” associated with Huh Kyung young possess complete knowledge of an individual’s secrets, including personal identification numbers and bank account details. Those who come to Huh Kyung young find all their questions answered, leading to a profound transformation. Thus, an individual’s spiritual journey can dramatically ascend from being a woman, then a man, and finally, through meeting Huh Kyung young, directly to the White Heaven.

The Illusion of Democracy and the Need for Theocracy
The current democratic system, particularly the act of “voting” (투표, tupyo), is fundamentally flawed. The term tupyo literally means “to throw a vote,” implying a casual or speculative act, akin to gambling. This casual approach to selecting leaders, where citizens “throw” their votes without deep consideration, leads to the election of corrupt individuals. This is why the nation suffers. Instead of tupyo, the term should be seonpyo (선표), meaning “to select a vote,” emphasizing a deliberate and life-altering choice. Citizens should meticulously “select” their leaders, understanding that their fate is tied to this decision, rather than treating it as a mere gamble.

The current system, where anyone can vote regardless of their understanding of governance, leads to the election of incompetent or corrupt leaders. This “democracy” is not a panacea; it is a system that can lead to mutual destruction. Therefore, Huh Kyung young advocates for a shift towards a theocracy (신정주의, sinjeongjuui), or “God-centered governance.” In this system, the right to vote for a president or national assembly member would be granted only to those who pass a qualifying examination. This ensures that only informed and capable individuals participate in the selection of leaders, preventing the rise of “thieves” who exploit the nation’s resources. The current “mob rule” (대모, daemo or 군중, gunjung), where the power rests with the masses, is not desirable and ultimately leads to the downfall of democracy.

The “Huhkonomy” and the National Dividend System
The current system, characterized by “mob rule” and capitalism, allows powerful individuals to seize control and accumulate wealth, leaving the majority behind. This necessitates a fundamental change. Huh Kyung young proposes “Huhkonomy” (허코노미즘, Huhkonomijeum), a system that ensures all citizens become part of the middle class. This “Huhkocracy” (허코시아, Huhkosia) represents a perfect political system, where divine intervention guides governance, ensuring justice and prosperity for all. This political ideology, which includes the “33 Policy” and the “National Dividend System,” is predicted to dominate the world for the next 20 years.

The Prophetic Words of Huh Kyung young and Their Validation
Huh Kyung young’s assertion that “the nation is not lacking money; rather, there are too many thieves” has been echoed and validated by other prominent political figures. For instance, former President Park Geun-hye’s promise during her presidential campaign to provide 200,000 won monthly to all citizens over 65 years old (which has since increased to 400,000 won) was a direct appropriation of Huh Kyung young’s policy. Lee Jun-seok, a former interim leader of the Grand National Party, also acknowledged adopting Huh Kyung young’s senior allowance policy. This demonstrates how Huh Kyung young’s ideas, initially met with skepticism, are gradually being recognized and implemented by mainstream politicians.

Furthermore, Lee Jae-myung, a prominent politician, publicly expressed profound respect for Huh Kyung young and unequivocally affirmed the truth of his statement regarding the nation’s wealth and corruption. Despite attempts by media outlets to downplay or misrepresent Lee Jae-myung’s words, his strong emphasis on the phrase “100% correct” underscores the undeniable accuracy of Huh Kyung young’s analysis. This consistent validation from various political figures highlights the growing recognition of Huh Kyung young’s insights into the fundamental issues plaguing the nation.

The Importance of “Selection” over “Voting”
The act of “voting” (투표, tupyo) is more accurately described as “selection” (취사선택, chwisasontaek), which involves both choosing and discarding. This process of selection, if done carelessly, can lead the nation down a “highway to hell” (지옥대로, jiokdaero). If citizens continue to be swayed by traditional political parties, such as the “Silla Party” or “Baekje Party,” they risk missing the “dividend highway” (배당대로, baedangdaero) and instead find themselves on the path to ruin. This path leads to poverty, inability to marry, and the overall destruction of families. Therefore, citizens must exercise extreme caution and deliberation in their choices, recognizing the profound consequences of their selections.

The Emergence of a Divine Leader in Korea
While China and Japan have historically had emperors and Heaven sovereigns, Korea now boasts a “divine human” (신인, sinin). This signifies a new era where Korea, no longer to be underestimated, possesses a leader of unparalleled spiritual authority. This divine human will guide the nation away from being a “ragtag army” (오합지졸, ohapjjijol) and empower it to assert its rightful place on the global stage. After centuries of being exploited by neighboring powers, Korea, with the advent of this divine human, is poised to demonstrate its true strength and influence.

The Choice Between the Dividend Highway and the Highway to Hell
The critical choice facing the populace is between the “dividend highway” and the “highway to hell.” The dividend highway, characterized by the National Dividend System, offers freedom and continuous financial inflow, ensuring prosperity and liberation from the shackles of monetary concerns. Conversely, the highway to hell is a path where money becomes a relentless captor, binding individuals in perpetual struggle and poverty. The continued adherence to traditional political factions, such as the “Silla” and “Baekje” parties, increases the likelihood of ending up on the highway to hell. Therefore, careful and deliberate selection in the upcoming elections is paramount to securing a future of abundance and freedom.

The Uniqueness of Huh Kyung young’s Leadership
The National Dividend System, championed by Huh Kyung young, is presented as the sole solution for the salvation of South Korea and all humanity. No other alternative exists, and no other individual on Earth possesses the unique abilities and vision of Huh Kyung young. His divine wisdom and profound insights offer hope and inspiration, making him the unparalleled leader capable of guiding humanity towards a brighter future.

This excerpt note captures the essence of Huh Kyung-young’s unique political and philosophical worldview from his 1274th Saturday lecture. Huh Kyung-young, a prominent and often controversial figure in South Korean politics, presents his radical ideas on governance, economics, and human nature. The core message revolves around his belief that “the nation isn’t lacking money; it’s overflowing with thieves”, advocating for a complete overhaul of the current political system and a shift towards his proposed “divine politics” (신정정치). This note highlights his contrarian views on democracy, his “National Dividend” policy, and his spiritual interpretations of life and leadership, offering a glimpse into the mind of a truly unconventional leader.

Huh Kyung-young’s Core Philosophy: “The Nation Lacks Not Money, But Thieves”

Critique of Current Politics and the “Thieves”
Huh Kyung-young’s central argument is that the nation’s financial problems stem not from a lack of resources, but from corruption and mismanagement by politicians. He believes that if politicians truly prioritized the people, the country’s wealth would be abundant. This perspective is striking because it directly challenges the conventional narrative of economic hardship, placing the blame squarely on the moral failings of leadership. His analogy of “weeds” for corrupt politicians is particularly vivid, emphasizing their persistent and destructive nature.

국가에 돈이 없는 것이 아니라 도둑놈이 많다!
The nation isn’t lacking money; it’s overflowing with thieves!

아니, 이 하루만 선을 국민을 생각하지 않아도 여기를 선을 우리는 민이라고 그래. 하루만 백성을 생각하지 않아도 온갖 도둑 마음이 나와 안 나와?
If you don’t think about the people for even one day, all sorts of thieving thoughts emerge, don’t they?

내가 이 말을 하는 것은, 국가에 돈이 없는 것이 아니라 도둑놈이 많다! 이 말을 하는 거예요.
The reason I say this is that the nation isn’t lacking money; it’s overflowing with thieves!

The “National Dividend” and Economic Reform
Huh Kyung-young proposes a radical economic policy: the “National Dividend” (국민 배당금). by cutting unnecessary government spending, particularly on excessive urban development, a significant portion of the national budget can be directly distributed to citizens. This idea is impressive because it offers a direct, tangible solution to economic inequality and aims to create a universal middle class, fundamentally rethinking the role of government in wealth distribution.

이 550조 내가 어떻게 쓴다 그랬어요? 150조 쓰고 400조 국민한테 돌려준다 그랬죠. 400조를 국민한테 돌려주는데 거기다 4조를 더 보태 가지고 800조 돌려주겠다. 그럼 국내 경기가 살까, 안 살까?
How did I say I’d spend this 550 trillion won? I said I’d spend 150 trillion and return 400 trillion to the people. I’d return 400 trillion to the people, adding another 4 trillion to make it 800 trillion. Would the domestic economy thrive then, ?

이제는 이 도시 개발할 돈을 국민들의 가게로 줘야 돼. 국민들의 가게에다 지급하겠다는 거, 이게 국민 배당금이네.
Now, the money for urban development should be given to the people’s households. Paying it to the people’s households, that’s the National Dividend.

나는 서울시의 시장이 되면 뭐 개발한다 이런 거 언제 없어요? 개발 스톱, 선심성 예산 스톱, 지역 개발 스톱. 그 돈을 서울 시민들의 생활비에 보태겠다.
If I become the mayor of Seoul, there will be no talk of development. Development stop, pork-barrel budget stop, regional development stop. I will add that money to the living expenses of Seoul citizens.

Critique of Democracy and “Divine Politics” (신정정치)
Huh Kyung-young is a staunch critic of the current democratic system, particularly the concept of “voting” (투표). He believes that unqualified citizens should not have the right to vote, advocating for a system where only those who pass a “qualification exam” can participate. This is a highly controversial and thought-provoking stance, as it challenges the very foundation of universal suffrage. His vision of “divine politics” (신정정치) or “theocracy” (시아 크라시) suggests a governance model led by a divinely appointed leader, which he believes is the only way to achieve true societal perfection.

대통령을 뽑을 때는 대통령을 뽑을 자격이, 자격 고시를 봐서 그 시험에 붙은 사람만 대통령을 뽑을 자격을 줘야 돼.
When electing a president, only those who pass a qualification exam should be given the right to vote for president.

투표를 할 자격을 가진 자는 시험을 봐, 고시를 봐 가지고 거기 붙어야 투표권을 주는 거야.
Those who are qualified to vote must take an exam, a civil service exam, and pass it to be given the right to vote.

이건 민주적 아니고, 이거는 말이야. 너도 죽고 나도 죽자는 제도야. 그래서 내가 시아 크라시, 신정주의를 주장하는 거야.
This isn’t democratic; this is a system where everyone dies. That’s why I advocate for Theocracy (시아 크라시), divine politics.

Leadership and Human Nature

The Importance of a Strong Leader
the critical role of a strong, almost divine, leader in guiding a nation. He uses historical examples like Genghis Khan and the Japanese Emperor to illustrate how a single, powerful figure can inspire and unite people, even in the face of overwhelming odds. This perspective highlights his belief that collective strength is derived from a singular, unwavering leadership, rather than diffuse democratic processes. His analogy of the tiger and the cow is particularly memorable, showing how the presence of a strong “owner” (leader) empowers the “cow” (people).

징기스칸이 쳐들어가. 그러면 그냥 징기스칸이 살아 있어야 돼. 징기스칸이 죽었다? 그 군대는 죽은 군대야.
Genghis Khan invades. Then Genghis Khan must be alive. If Genghis Khan dies? That army is a dead army.

지도자의 위치가 얼마나 무서운지 알아요? 허경영이가 대한민국에 전 정치 지도자다 나타났다. 그럼 대한민국은 세계를 제패해 버려요.
Do you know how terrifying the position of a leader is? If Huh Kyung-young appears as the political leader of South Korea, then South Korea will conquer the world.

대한민국 5천만 제대로 된 지도자가 딱 나타나서 딱 잡아버리면 대한민국 사람 5천만 명 세계를 이끌 수 있어요.
If a proper leader appears and takes firm control of South Korea’s 50 million people, those 50 million South Koreans can lead the world.

The Wisdom of the Cow: Patience and Sacrifice
Huh Kyung-young draws a fascinating parallel between human behavior and animal characteristics, particularly highlighting the “wisdom of the cow” (우생마사). He explains that while horses (말) might struggle and die in water due to their frantic efforts, cows (소) survive by remaining calm and allowing the current to guide them. This metaphor is a powerful lesson in patience, resilience, and the importance of not fighting against natural forces. He also connects the character for “cow” (牛) to the concept of “sacrifice” (희생), suggesting that true leadership and progress often require selflessness.

소는 살고 말은 죽는 이치를 깨달아라. 너희가 성공하려면 조급하게 굴지 말아라, 말같이 구는 놈 성공 못한다. 소처럼 우직해야 된다.
Realize the principle that cows live and horses die. If you want to succeed, don’t be impatient; those who act like horses won’t succeed. You must be as steadfast as a cow.

희생할 때는 소가 들어가, 안 들어가? 들어가요. 그러면 희생을 제일 많이 하는 사람은 우리 인간에서 희생 많이 하는 사람은 요런 사람이야. 목사.
When we talk about sacrifice, does the character for cow (牛) go in ? It does. the people who make the most sacrifices among us humans are like this: pastors.

1. what is the primary reason for the nation’s financial problems?

(Too many “thieves” (corrupt individuals), the nation’s financial issues stem not from a lack of funds, but from corruption and mismanagement by those in power, whom he metaphorically calls “thieves.” A common misconception might be that the nation simply lacks resources, misallocation and illicit gain.)

2. O/X: if elected Seoul Mayor, he would accept his salary and official expenses.
   (X, He explicitly states he would not accept his mayoral salary or official expenses if elected. A common misconception might be that all politicians accept their salaries, but he positions himself as different.)

3. O/X: He suggests that a “good heart” is easy to maintain without continuous effort.
   (X, He compares a good heart to rice paddies that require constant weeding and care, implying it’s difficult to maintain without continuous effort. A common misconception is that goodness is an inherent, static quality.)

4. What is His proposed solution for the excessive urban development budget in Seoul?
   (Redirecting it to citizens’ living expenses through a national dividend system, He advocates for stopping unnecessary urban development and instead using those funds to directly support citizens’ livelihoods via a national dividend. A common misconception is that urban development always benefits citizens directly, but he argues it often leads to waste.)

5. He criticizes the term “투표” (vote) and suggests it should be replaced with “선표.” What is his reasoning for this change?
   (He believes “투표” (投標) implies “throwing away” or “speculating” with one’s vote, rather than a careful “selection.” He advocates for “선표” (選票), meaning “selected ballot,” to emphasize the importance of thoughtful choice. A common misconception is that “투표” is a neutral term, but he argues its etymology suggests a casual or reckless act.)

Intermediate

1. He uses an analogy of a farmer tending to a rice paddy to explain the nature of good and evil. Briefly explain this analogy.
   (The farmer’s body is like the soil, needing constant care. A good heart is like rice, requiring continuous effort to nurture and protect from weeds (evil thoughts). Evil thoughts are like weeds, which grow back even after being cut, symbolizing their persistent nature. A common misconception is that good and evil are fixed states, but the analogy highlights their dynamic and effort-dependent nature.)

2. O/X: He believes that current democratic systems, particularly regarding voting qualifications, are flawed and lead to the election of corrupt leaders.
   (O, allowing anyone to vote without proper qualification (like passing a test) leads to poor choices and the election of “thieves.” A common misconception is that universal suffrage is inherently perfect, but he suggests it can be detrimental without informed voters.)

3. what is the difference between an “ignorant person” (우인) and a “wise person” (현인) in terms of what they should be cautious about?
   (An ignorant person should be cautious about their body, while a wise person should be cautious about their knowledge or words. He implies that those with knowledge must be careful not to misuse it or hold onto incorrect beliefs, unlike the ignorant who primarily focus on physical well-being. A common misconception is that knowledge inherently makes one wise; Mr. Huh suggests it also brings a greater responsibility for caution.)

4. He mentions “우생마사” (牛生馬死), meaning “cows live, horses die” in water. What lesson does he derive from this saying regarding success?
   (He derives that one should be persistent and steady like a cow, rather than hasty and energetic like a horse, to succeed. The cow’s calm, unresisting nature in water allows it to survive, while the horse’s struggle exhausts it. A common misconception is that speed and effort always lead to success; he emphasizes patience and wisdom.)

5. What is His “삼삼 정책” (Three-Three Policy), and what is its main goal?
   (The “삼삼 정책” involves allocating 400 trillion won (plus 4 trillion) of the national budget to citizens as a national dividend, aiming to elevate the lowest income earners to the middle class. Its main goal is to boost the domestic economy and ensure financial stability for all citizens in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. A common misconception might be that such a large payout would be inflationary; Mr. Huh frames it as economic stimulus and social welfare.)

Advanced

1. He draws a parallel between a leader and a general in battle, or a “천왕” (Emperor) for a nation. Explain how the presence or absence of a strong leader impacts the collective strength and morale of the group, using his examples.
   (A strong leader, like Genghis Khan or the Japanese Emperor, inspires immense loyalty and fighting spirit, making even a small army formidable. Their presence unites the “오합지졸” (disorganized rabble) into a cohesive force. Conversely, the leader’s absence or death (e.g., Hitler’s suicide, the President fleeing during the Korean War) causes immediate collapse and loss of morale, rendering the group powerless. A common misconception is that sheer numbers or resources guarantee victory; Mr. Huh argues that leadership is paramount.)

2. He discusses the concept of “취사선택” (picking and choosing) in the context of voting. How does he connect this act of choice to the future path of the nation and its citizens?
   (He connects “취사선택” in voting directly to whether citizens will follow the “배당 대로” (dividend path) leading to freedom and prosperity, or the “지옥 대로” (hell path) leading to financial bondage and suffering. He warns that choosing traditional parties (신라당, 백제당) without careful consideration will lead to the latter, emphasizing that the choice of leadership determines the nation’s destiny. A common misconception is that all political choices lead to similar outcomes; he stresses the stark difference in potential futures.)

3. Short Answer: He describes his birthplace, 중랑교 (Jungnang Bridge), as a “슬픈 다리” (sad bridge) and connects it to both Eastern and Western religious figures. What is the symbolic significance of his birthplace in relation to his perceived mission?
   ( 중랑교, located where waters from mountains associated with Jesus (삼각산) and Buddha (불암산) converge, symbolizes the “sad tears” of both Eastern and Western traditions. His birth in this “sad place” signifies his mission to resolve the suffering and bring joy to humanity, emerging from a background of hardship to address global pain. A common misconception might be that his origin is merely geographical; he imbues it with profound spiritual and messianic meaning.)

4. Fill-in-the-blank: the words “얼굴” (face), “사랑” (love), and “지게” (A-frame carrier) are not found in standard Korean dictionaries, which he attributes to the dictionary makers’ lack of __.
   (Skill/Knowledge (실력), He criticizes the dictionary compilers for their “부족했던 실력” (lack of skill/knowledge) for omitting these fundamental words, implying a deficiency in understanding the true meaning and etymology of Korean language. A common misconception is that dictionaries are exhaustive and perfect; he suggests they can be incomplete or flawed.)
