2. The Power of Honesty

2.1 Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret

• Honesty (정직) is the ultimate secret to successful business management.
  • Many companies fail because they lack this fundamental principle.
  • For example, reducing taxes through dishonest means might seem beneficial but leads to political pressure and eventual downfall.
• Paying taxes honestly, even if it means showing higher profits, protects a company from future problems.
  • Tax authorities are aware of financial manipulations like accounting fraud (분식회계).
  • Such dishonesty can lead to severe penalties when a company’s power weakens.

2.2 Honesty in Public Service and National Management

• Honesty is crucial for national management and public corporations.
  • Public corporations in Korea face massive debt, increasing by billions monthly.
  • This debt grows because officials prioritize salaries and bonuses over honest, efficient operations.
• Lack of honest (정직한) public servants leads to mismanagement and increasing national debt.
  • Officials often treat overseas business trips as vacations, wasting taxpayer money.
  • Implementing policies where losses directly impact salaries would encourage accountability and reduce debt.

2.3 The Concept of “Gongbun” (Public Indignation)

• Gongbun (공분) is a deep, spiritual anger that arises from concern for the future of society and younger generations.
  • It’s different from personal rage, which is an emotional outburst.
  • Gongbun is a righteous anger, like when Jesus overturned tables in the temple, not out of personal hatred but for the sanctity of the place.
• This public indignation stems from the widespread lack of honesty in society.
  • When people exploit religion or power for personal gain, it provokes this spiritual anger.
  • It highlights the importance of living by principles and conscience, not just personal desires.

4. The Three Core Elements of Life

3.1 Religion’s Three Elements: Precepts, Concentration, Wisdom (戒, 定, 慧)

• The three core elements of religion (종교) are Precepts (戒), Concentration (定), and Wisdom (慧).
  • Precepts (戒): Living a righteous life and following moral rules.
  • Concentration (定): Focusing the mind and maintaining inner peace.
  • Wisdom (慧): Gaining insight and understanding the truth.
• These elements are interconnected and mutually dependent.
  • For example, Wisdom (혜) without Precepts (계) is like a thief who steals to give to the poor; it’s not truly good because it violates moral rules.
  • True wisdom must be rooted in honesty and adherence to principles.

3.2 Faith’s Three Elements: Belief, Hope, Love (信, 望, 愛)

• The three core elements of faith (신앙) are Belief (信), Hope (望), and Love (愛).
  • Belief (信): Having trust and conviction.
  • Hope (望): Expecting good things to happen.
  • Love (愛): Showing affection and compassion.
• These elements must exist together in harmony for true faith.
  • A “lame faith” is when someone only prays for desires (Hope and Love) without genuine Belief.
  • All three are linked; one cannot truly exist without the others.

3.3 Philosophy’s Three Elements: Emptiness, Wholeness, Righteousness (空, 圓, 正)

• The three core elements of philosophy (철학) are Emptiness (空), Wholeness (圓), and Righteousness (正).

4. Values and Status in Life

4.1 The Three Elements of Value: Truth, Goodness, Beauty (眞, 善, 美)

• The three core elements of value (가치) are Truth (眞), Goodness (善), and Beauty (美).
  • Truth (眞): Adhering to what is real and honest.
  • Goodness (善): Acting with kindness and moral integrity.
  • Beauty (美): Possessing inner and outer attractiveness that comes from truth and goodness.
• These elements are deeply intertwined; one cannot truly exist without the others.
  • If Truth is absent, Goodness turns into Evil (惡), and Beauty becomes Ugliness (醜).
  • For example, a physically attractive person who is dishonest is not truly beautiful.

Element	Positive Aspect	Negative Aspect	Description
Truth	眞 (Jin)	僞 (Wi)	Adherence to reality and honesty.
Goodness	善 (Seon)	惡 (Ak)	Moral integrity and kindness.
Beauty	美 (Mi)	醜 (Chu)	Attractiveness stemming from truth and goodness.

4.2 The Three Elements of Status: Body, Appearance, Action (體, 相, 用)

• The three core elements of status (위상) are Body (體), Appearance (相), and Action (用).
  • Body (體): One’s physical form, which can inherently convey a certain presence.
  • Appearance (相): How one presents oneself, including facial expressions and demeanor, which can be changed.
  • Action (用): One’s deeds and conduct, which significantly impact how others perceive them.
• These elements are interconnected and influence each other.
  • Even if one’s Body isn’t conventionally attractive, positive Actions can elevate their Status.
  • For example, a person who saves lives will be respected regardless of their physical appearance.

4.3 The Era of Idols and Materialism

• The 21st century is characterized as the “Era of Idols” (우상의 시대) and materialism (유물론).
  • People often make their own bodies and families into idols, prioritizing health, longevity, and material wealth above all else.
  • This focus on physical and material possessions prevents individuals from achieving higher spiritual goals.
• True fulfillment comes from dedicating oneself to a higher purpose, not self-worship.
  • Instead of hoarding wealth or obsessing over one’s body, one should offer their resources and self for truth and goodness.
  • This involves a willingness to “empty” oneself, as taught by figures like Jesus and Buddha.

This document is a lecture by Heo Kyung-young titled “The Truth of Honesty,” delivered on October 12, 2013. In this lecture, Heo Kyung-young emphasizes “honesty” as the ultimate secret to success in business, human relationships, and even national governance. He criticizes the current state of society, where a lack of honesty leads to corruption and decline, and introduces five sets of “three elements” (religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status) that are all interconnected and rooted in honesty.

The Ultimate Business Secret: Honesty

Honesty as the Core of Management
Heo Kyung-young argues that honesty is the single most important secret to successful management and that many companies fail because they lack it. He criticizes practices like tax evasion and accounting fraud, stating that such dishonesty ultimately leads to collapse. He emphasizes that even paying more taxes than necessary can protect a company from future political pressure, highlighting the long-term benefits of integrity.

최고의 경영이 뭐여? 박 회장님 상대방을 생각하는거 상대방이 그것도 맞지 그런데 한마디로 해야 돼 정직이야 정직
What is the best management? Mr. Park, thinking about the other person, that’s right, but it has to be one word: honesty. Honesty.지금 동양그룹이나 이런 그룹들이 다 기업의 최고 경영하는 비법을 모르는 거야 최고 비법은 효성그룹 조홍제가 회장이 실수한 게 있어요 왜 세금을 많이 씩 내야 되는 거야 많이 씩 세금을 권력자와 가깝다고 세금을 조금만 줄여봐 다 알고 있어 국세청에서 가능하면 회사가 흑자 낸 걸로 해 가지고 일부러 세금을 늘려서 자꾸 내줘야 나중에 정치적인 탄압을 안 받아 무슨 말인지 알겠죠? 그게 나중에 확 회사 끝나는 것보다 낫단 말이야 한꺼번에 정직하지가 않은 거야Groups like Tongyang Group don’t know the ultimate secret to corporate management. The ultimate secret is something Hyosung Group Chairman Cho Hong-je made a mistake about. Why do you have to pay a lot of taxes? A lot of taxes. If you try to reduce taxes a little because you’re close to power, the National Tax Service knows everything. If possible, a company should intentionally increase and pay taxes as if it made a profit, so that it doesn’t face political oppression later. Do you understand what I mean? That’s better than the company suddenly ending all at once. They weren’t honest.그래서 사람은 이게 하버드 대학이든 무슨 대학이든 최고의 경영 비법은 정직이야 최고로 성공하는 비법은 또 뭐야? 최고로 성공하는 비법? 정직이라니까So, whether it’s Harvard University or any other university, the best management secret is honesty. What’s the best secret to success? The best secret to success? It’s honesty.

Critiquing Modern Education and Society
Heo Kyung-young sharply criticizes MBA programs and modern society for focusing on “how to extract money from people’s pockets” rather than on honesty. He views such education as training “thieves” and attributes the financial woes of public corporations and the nation’s debt to a fundamental lack of integrity among leaders.

정신 나간 놈들이 경영대학에 가서 어떻게 하면 달러를 돈을 요렇게 요렇게 해 가지고 국민들 돈 있는 사람들 호주머니를 이렇게 해 내느냐 요거 연구하는 게 MBA야 그래 안 그래? 그건 도둑놈 연습하는 거야
Crazy people go to business school to study how to take money from people’s pockets, like this and that. Isn’t that what MBA is? That’s practicing to be a thief.공기업 사람들이 월급 보너스 다 가져가고 회사 성공하는 거 사업 잘하는 거 이거 신경도 안 써요 정직한 사람이 한 명도 없어 앉아서 국민들 세금 어떻게 내는 가를 몰라요 어떻게 사업하고 어떻게 잠 안 자고 몸살 걸려가면서 사업해 가지고 돈 벌어서 세금 갖다 주는데 저거는 앉아가지고 적자나 보고 써 재끼고 해외 출장 그런 것을 장난으로 생각해요 그거 놀러가는 거야Public enterprise employees take all their salaries and bonuses, and don’t care about the company’s success or doing business well. There’s not a single honest person. They sit there and don’t know how to pay taxes to the public. How can they run a business, work without sleep, get sick, earn money, and pay taxes, while those people just sit there, incur deficits, spend recklessly, and treat overseas business trips as a joke? They’re just going on vacation.

The Five Pillars of Truth: Interconnected Elements of Life

The Three Elements of Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
Heo Kyung-young introduces three fundamental elements for religion, faith, and philosophy, emphasizing that “honesty” (正) is the common thread that binds them all. He explains that true generosity (혜) in religion must be rooted in honesty (계), and that faith requires all three elements of belief, hope, and love to be interconnected. Similarly, philosophy’s “correctness” (正) must be accompanied by “emptiness” (空) and “wholeness” (圓) to avoid becoming destructive.

종교의 3대 요소가 뭐야? 종교의 3대 요소 박 회장님 내가 옛날에 가르쳐준 적이 있어 한 번 강의했는데 콩나물 시루 처럼 다 흘러 나가는데 아니지 비슷하긴 하다 종교의 3대요소 이거는 박 회장님 이야기한 거는 신앙의 3대요소야 신앙의 3대 요소는 이 신앙 자체는 이제 믿음이잖아? 신앙의 3대요소는 믿음 이거 이거 믿음 신망. 신망애란 말이야 종교의 3대요소가 뭔지 모르겠어요? 제일 제일 중요한 거야 종교도 정직한 거하고 연관이 있어 계 그래 그렇잖아? 정 이게 이게 이거(정직)와 같은 뜻이야 정 계정 그다음 뭐겠어요?
What are the three elements of religion? The three elements of religion. Mr. Park, I taught you this before. I lectured once, but it all flowed out like a bean sprout sieve. No, it’s similar. The three elements of religion you mentioned, Mr. Park, are the three elements of faith. The three elements of faith are belief itself, right? The three elements of faith are belief, this, this belief, hope. It’s belief, hope, and love. Don’t you know what the three elements of religion are? It’s the most important thing. Religion is also related to honesty. Precepts. Isn’t that right? Honesty, this, this (honesty) means the same thing. Honesty, precepts, concentration. What’s next?정직이 없는 혜는 국민 돈 다 뺏어 가지고 저 사람이 갑자기 한국은행을 털은 사람이야 없는 사람 오라고 해 가지고 쫙 노놔 줬다 그게 죄가 안 될까? 그거는 정이 없는 혜는 소용이 없어요 계율을 어겼어 종교의 계율을 그래 안 그래? 도둑질 하지 말라 그래 안 그래? 어겼다 이거야 그러면 계정혜는 서로 감시하고 있는 거야.Benevolence without honesty is useless. If someone suddenly robbed the Bank of Korea, took all the people’s money, and then called the poor and distributed it, wouldn’t that be a sin? Benevolence without honesty is useless. They violated the precepts, the precepts of religion. Isn’t that right? Don’t steal. Isn’t that right? They violated it. So, precepts, concentration, and benevolence are watching each other.철학의 3대 요소 왜 바로 살려고 하는 사람 철학 신앙 믿음을 가져야 돼 종교가 필요하다 그러면 이런 게 전 세계적으로 있다 보니 여기에 대해서 우리는 알아놔야 된다 이 말이야 철학의 3대 요소가 뭐여? 모르겠어요? 공 원 정.The three elements of philosophy. Why do people who want to live right need philosophy, faith, and belief? If religion is necessary, then since these things exist worldwide, we need to know about them. What are the three elements of philosophy? Don’t you know? Emptiness, Wholeness, Correctness.

The Three Elements of Value and Status
Heo Kyung-young concludes by presenting the three elements of value (眞善美: Truth, Goodness, Beauty) and status (體相用: Body, Appearance, Action). He argues that true beauty and goodness stem from truth, and that a person’s status is ultimately determined by their actions (용), which can even transform their physical appearance (체) and impression (상). He emphasizes that these 15 elements are all interconnected and crucial for living an honest and meaningful life.

가치의 3대 요소 眞 善 美 자 그러면은 왜 이것이 굉장히 중요하냐 하면은 진리를 지켜야 하는 거야 인간이 가치가 있으려면 진리를 안 지키면 인간의 가치는 빵점이야 진리를 지키면 선해 보이고 선하면은 아름다운 거야 그래 안 그래?
The three elements of value: Truth, Goodness, Beauty. So, why is this very important? Because one must uphold truth. If a human being doesn’t uphold truth, their value is zero. If one upholds truth, they appear good, and if they are good, they are beautiful. Isn’t that right?자 위상의 3대 요소 이제 꼭 알아야 되겠지? 뭐여? 누가 나한테 500만 원 해 줘 내가 500만 원 가지고 갈게 박 회장님 잘 들었놔요 이게 관상 보는 거야 우리 인상은 교수가 모르면 어떻게 해? 체 상 체는 뭐여? 그 사람의 몸 몸 그래 안 그래? 몸이 위상이 있게 생겼냐? 검찰총장이라도 미남으로 생겨 가지고 키가 크고 잘 생겨서 그 위상이 있어 보여 안 보여? 체상이 벌써 그 사람의 위상을 가지고 있단 말이야.Now, you must know the three elements of status, right? What is it? Someone give me 5 million won. I’ll take 5 million won. Mr. Park, listen carefully. This is about reading faces. How can our professors not know about our appearance? Body, Appearance. What is the body? A person’s body. Isn’t that right? Does the body look dignified? Even a prosecutor general, if he’s handsome, tall, and good-looking, does he look dignified or not? His physical appearance already carries his status.그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐? 아니 키도 조그맣고 못생긴 사람이 물에 뛰어들어와서 물에 빠진 7명을 살려냈다 그러면 그 사람이 행동이 용이야 용 행실 행실 행실에 따라서 이 사람의 위상이 올라가고 내려간다 이 말이야 행실에 따라서 관상이 바뀌어 안 바뀌어? 바뀐단 말이야 몸은 몸도 행실에 따라서 바꿀 수 있어 없어? 이게 다 연관이 이놈이 이놈을 물고 늘어지는 거야What kind of work does that person do? If a short, ugly person jumps into the water and saves seven drowning people, then that person’s action is “yong” (action). Their conduct, their behavior. A person’s status rises and falls according to their conduct. Does their face change according to their conduct? It changes. Can the body also be changed according to conduct? All of these are interconnected, one pulling on the other.

The Ultimate Business Secret: Honesty

Honesty as the Core of Management
Heo Kyung-young argues that honesty is the single most important secret to successful management, dismissing complex business theories as “lies.” He criticizes companies and public enterprises for lacking honesty, leading to financial troubles and a disregard for public funds. He believes that prioritizing honesty, even in paying taxes, ultimately prevents political backlash and ensures long-term stability.

최고의 경영이 뭐여? 박 회장님 상대방을 생각하는거 상대방이 그것도 맞지 그런데 한마디로 해야 돼 정직이야 정직
What is the best management? Mr. Park, thinking about the other person, that’s right, but it has to be said in one word: it’s honesty. Honesty.

지금 동양그룹이나 이런 그룹들이 다 기업의 최고 경영하는 비법을 모르는 거야
Groups like Tongyang Group don’t know the ultimate secret to corporate management.

가능하면 회사가 흑자 낸 걸로 해 가지고 일부러 세금을 늘려서 자꾸 내줘야 나중에 정치적인 탄압을 안 받아
If possible, a company should intentionally increase and pay taxes as if it made a profit, so that it doesn’t face political oppression later.

하버드 대학이든 무슨 대학이든 최고의 경영 비법은 정직이야
Whether it’s Harvard University or any other university, the best management secret is honesty.

무조건 정직이면은 성공하는 거야 나중에 가서
If you are unconditionally honest, you will succeed in the end.

Criticism of Modern Society’s Lack of Honesty
Heo Kyung-young sharply criticizes the prevailing mindset in business and public administration, where the focus is on manipulating money rather than upholding honesty. He views MBA programs as training grounds for “thieves” who learn to extract money from people. He also condemns public officials for their lack of accountability and wasteful spending, attributing the nation’s growing debt to a fundamental absence of honesty.

정신 나간 놈들이 경영대학에 가서 어떻게 하면 달러를 돈을 요렇게 요렇게 해 가지고 국민들 돈 있는 사람들 호주머니를 이렇게 해 내느냐 요거 연구하는 게 MBA야 그래 안 그래? 그건 도둑놈 연습하는 거야
Crazy people go to business school to study how to manipulate money and extract it from people’s pockets. Isn’t that right? That’s training to be a thief.

공기업 사람들이 월급 보너스 다 가져가고 회사 성공하는 거 사업 잘하는 거 이거 신경도 안 써요 정직한 사람이 한 명도 없어
Public enterprise employees take all their salaries and bonuses, and don’t care about the company’s success or doing business well. There’s not a single honest person.

나라가 지금 망해 가는 거는 눈 뜨고 다 보고 앉아 있는 거야 대책을 안 세워요 대책을
The country is going to ruin, and everyone is just sitting there watching with their eyes open. They’re not making any plans or countermeasures.

The Interconnected “Three Elements” of Life

The Three Elements of Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
Heo Kyung-young introduces a unique framework of “Three Elements” for various aspects of life, all ultimately linked to honesty. He explains that religion, faith, and philosophy each have their own interconnected components, emphasizing that none can stand alone. For instance, in religion, “precepts” (戒), “meditation” (定), and “wisdom” (慧) are interdependent, meaning that wisdom without adherence to precepts (honesty) is meaningless. Similarly, in philosophy, “emptiness” (空), “roundness” (圓), and “rectitude” (正) must coexist, implying that rectitude without the ability to empty oneself or maintain harmonious relationships is flawed.

종교의 3대 요소가 뭐야? 종교의 3대 요소 계 정 혜
What are the three elements of religion? The three elements of religion are precepts (戒), meditation (定), and wisdom (慧).

정직이 없는 혜는 국민 돈 다 뺏어 가지고 저 사람이 갑자기 한국은행을 털은 사람이야 없는 사람 오라고 해 가지고 쫙 노놔 줬다 그게 죄가 안 될까? 그거는 정이 없는 혜는 소용이 없어요
Wisdom without honesty is useless. If someone robs the Bank of Korea, takes all the people’s money, and then gives it all away to the poor, would that not be a sin? Wisdom without rectitude (honesty) is useless.

철학의 3대 요소 공 원 정
The three elements of philosophy are emptiness (空), roundness (圓), and rectitude (正).

내가 바르게 산다고 그러고 즈그 엄마를 갖다가 잘못한다고 엄마를 뚜드러패면 그게 바르게 사는 거여? 원만한 거는 뭐야? 가족 관계가 있는 거여
If I say I live righteously but then beat my mother for doing something wrong, is that living righteously? What is roundness (harmony)? It’s about family relationships.

The Three Elements of Value and Status
Heo Kyung-young extends his “Three Elements” framework to human value and status. He asserts that human value is comprised of “truth” (眞), “goodness” (善), and “beauty” (美), and that these are inseparable. If truth is absent, goodness and beauty also vanish, replaced by “falsehood” (僞), “evil” (惡), and “ugliness” (醜). Similarly, a person’s status is determined by their “body” (體), “appearance” (相), and “action” (用). He emphasizes that while one’s physical body might be difficult to change, one’s actions can significantly elevate or diminish their status, even overriding physical imperfections.

가치의 3대 요소 진 선 미
The three elements of value are truth (眞), goodness (善), and beauty (美).

진리를 지킨 자는 선하고 아름다워요 그리고 아름다운 자는 진리를 지킨 자라야 돼 이게 꼭 요게 요렇게 물고 늘어져 톡 떨어져 있을 수가 없는 거야
Those who uphold truth are good and beautiful, and those who are beautiful must be those who uphold truth. These are inextricably linked; they cannot be separated.

진리냐 거짓이냐에 따라서 인간 가치가 달라져 버려
Human value changes depending on whether it’s truth or falsehood.

위상의 3대 요소 체 상 용
The three elements of status are body (體), appearance (相), and action (用).

그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐? 아니 키도 조그맣고 못생긴 사람이 물에 뛰어들어와서 물에 빠진 7명을 살려냈다 그러면 그 사람이 행동이 용이야 용 행실 행실 행실에 따라서 이 사람의 위상이 올라가고 내려간다 이 말이야
What kind of work does that person do? If a small, ugly person jumps into the water and saves seven drowning people, that person’s action (用) is their conduct. Their status rises and falls according to their conduct.

This document is an excerpt from a lecture by Heo Kyung-young titled “The Truth of Honesty,” delivered on October 12, 2013. In this lecture, Heo Kyung-young emphasizes “honesty” as the ultimate secret to success in business, human relationships, and even national governance. He criticizes the current state of society, from corporate management to public enterprises and politics, for lacking this fundamental principle. He also introduces his unique frameworks of “Three Elements” for religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status, all interconnected by the core concept of honesty.

The Ultimate Business Secret: Honesty

Honesty as the Core of Management
Heo Kyung-young argues that honesty is the single most important secret to successful management, whether in business or personal relationships. He criticizes corporations and public enterprises for lacking this principle, leading to their downfall or inefficiency.
The ultimate secret to managing is honesty.
These groups like Dongyang Group don’t know the ultimate secret to managing a company.
The ultimate secret is honesty.
No matter what business administration doctors say about 10 methods, it’s all lies. Unconditionally, if you are honest, you will succeed.

The Crisis of Dishonesty in Public Sector
Heo Kyung-young points out the severe problems in public enterprises and government, attributing them to a lack of honesty. He criticizes the accumulation of national debt and the irresponsible management by public officials.
There’s not a single honest person (in public enterprises). They don’t know how taxes are paid by the citizens.
They just sit there, incurring deficits and spending recklessly, treating overseas business trips as a joke.
If there were honest public officials, taxes would decrease, but the national public enterprise debt is 500 trillion won.
The nation is just watching itself go bankrupt with open eyes. They don’t set up countermeasures.

The “Public Indignation” of a Leader
Heo Kyung-young introduces the concept of “public indignation” (공분), which he defines as anger for the future of the youth and the soul’s wrath, distinct from personal rage. He uses the example of Jesus overturning the tables of money changers in the temple to illustrate this righteous anger.
Public indignation is not about getting angry (personally).
It’s about getting angry for the future of our youth.
When the soul gets angry, that’s called public indignation.
When emotions get angry, that’s called rage.
It’s not a personal anger for the nation.
When heaven gets angry, it just wipes everything out with an earthquake.

Heo Kyung-young’s “Three Elements” Frameworks

Interconnectedness of Principles
Heo Kyung-young presents five sets of “Three Elements” (삼대 요소) for religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status, emphasizing that these elements are not independent but interconnected and mutually reinforcing. He stresses that neglecting one element can undermine the others, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach rooted in honesty.
I emphasize these “Three Elements” because they always intertwine.
These 15 things are the most important points in life.

Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
Heo Kyung-young outlines the fundamental components of religion, faith, and philosophy, all of which he links back to the core principle of honesty and righteousness.
The three elements of religion are precepts (戒), meditation (定), and wisdom (慧).
The three elements of faith are faith (信), hope (望), and love (愛).
The three elements of philosophy are emptiness (空), roundness (圓), and righteousness (正).
Righteousness (正) without emptiness (空) cannot exist. Righteousness (正) without roundness (圓) cannot exist.

Value and Status
Heo Kyung-young extends his framework to human value and status, explaining how these are determined by one’s adherence to truth and righteous actions. He contrasts “truth, goodness, and beauty” with “falsehood, evil, and ugliness.”
The three elements of value are truth (眞), goodness (善), and beauty (美).
If a human being doesn’t uphold truth, their value is zero. If they uphold truth, they appear good, and if they are good, they are beautiful.
If this (truth) goes wrong, everything disappears instantly. Goodness also disappears.
If it becomes false, this person’s life turns into evil. Then, if it turns into evil, this (beauty) turns into ugliness.
The three elements of status are body (体), appearance (相), and action (用).
A person’s status goes up and down depending on their actions.
Even if someone is ugly, if they become a champion in table tennis abroad, people treat them like a god. Their body (status) changes.

The “Age of Idols” and Self-Worship
Heo Kyung-young critiques modern society as an “age of idols,” where people worship their own bodies and material possessions, rather than dedicating themselves to higher truths.
Your body is an idol. This is materialism. This materialism has reached its limit now.
People don’t exist who would transcend that (idols) and use it for God, for truth, for Buddha.
What is your idol? Your own body. Material things. That’s the idol now.

This document is an excerpt from a lecture by Heo Kyung-young titled “The Truth of Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret for Heo Kyung-young’s Era” from October 12, 2013. In this lecture, Heo Kyung-young emphasizes “honesty” as the ultimate secret to success in business, human relationships, and even national governance. He criticizes the current state of society, where dishonesty and materialism prevail, leading to national debt and moral decay. He also introduces his unique philosophical framework, including the “Three Elements” of religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status, all interconnected by the principle of honesty. This excerpt focuses on his core message about honesty and his unique philosophical classifications.

Heo Kyung-young argues that honesty is the single most important factor for success in any field, from business to personal relationships. He criticizes modern management theories as “thieves’ practice” for focusing on profit maximization without honesty.

세계 최고의 잘하는 경영은 뭘까? 최고의 경영은 어떤 비법이 있을까? 최고의 경영… 정직이야.
What is the best management in the world? What is the secret to the best management? The best management… it’s honesty.

최고로 성공하는 비법은 또 뭐야? 최고로 성공하는 비법? 정직이라니까.
What’s the secret to ultimate success? The secret to ultimate success? It’s honesty, I tell you.

아무리 경영학 박사들이 뭐 10가지 방법이 있다 뭐 어떻게 전부 거짓말이야. 무조건 정직이면은 성공하는 거야.
No matter what management Ph.D.s say about 10 methods or whatever, it’s all lies. If you’re unconditionally honest, you will succeed.

The Downfall of Dishonesty in National Management
Heo Kyung-young extends his concept of honesty to national governance, criticizing public enterprises and government officials for their lack of integrity, which he believes leads to massive national debt and societal decay. He proposes radical solutions to enforce honesty.

지금 동양그룹이나 이런 그룹들이 다 기업의 최고 경영하는 비법을 모르는 거야.
Groups like Tongyang Group don’t know the ultimate secret to corporate management.

가능하면 회사가 흑자 낸 걸로 해 가지고 일부러 세금을 늘려서 자꾸 내줘야 나중에 정치적인 탄압을 안 받아.
If possible, companies should intentionally increase and pay more taxes by reporting profits, so they don’t face political oppression later.

공기업 사람들이 월급 보너스 다 가져가고 회사 성공하는 거 사업 잘하는 거 이거 신경도 안 써요. 정직한 사람이 한 명도 없어.
People in public enterprises take all their salaries and bonuses and don’t care about the company’s success or doing business well. There isn’t a single honest person.

앞으로 적자 내는 사업을 하는 사람은 전부 해고야. 느그는 무슨 철가방이 아니야.
From now on, anyone running a deficit-making business will be fired. You’re not some delivery service.

Heo Kyung-young’s Unique Philosophical Framework

The Interconnectedness of the “Three Elements”
Heo Kyung-young introduces a unique framework of “Three Elements” for various aspects of life: religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status. He emphasizes that these elements are not independent but are interconnected and mutually dependent, with honesty (or truth) as the underlying principle.

항상 혜는 계를 발목을 잡고 있고 망이나 애는 신을 발목을 잡고 있고 정은 공을 발목을 잡고 있어.
Wisdom always holds precepts by the ankle, hope or love holds faith by the ankle, and rectitude (정) holds emptiness (공) by the ankle.

이 15가지가 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트다.
These 15 things are the most important points in life.

The Three Elements of Value: Truth, Goodness, Beauty
Heo Kyung-young asserts that human value is derived from upholding truth, which then leads to goodness and beauty. Conversely, falsehood leads to evil and ugliness, demonstrating the profound impact of one’s adherence to truth.

인간이 가치가 있으려면 진리를 안 지키면 인간의 가치는 빵점이야. 진리를 지키면 선해 보이고 선하면은 아름다운 거야.
If a human doesn’t uphold truth to have value, their human value is zero. If you uphold truth, you appear good, and if you are good, you are beautiful.

진리를 벗어난 거는 아름다운 게 아니다.
Anything that deviates from truth is not beautiful.

진리를 향하면 진과 선과 미를 가질 수가 있는데 거짓을 향하면 악과 추함을 가지고 와.
If you pursue truth, you can have truth, goodness, and beauty, but if you pursue falsehood, you bring evil and ugliness.

The Three Elements of Status: Body, Appearance, Action
Heo Kyung-young explains that a person’s status is determined by their physical body (체), appearance (상), and actions (용). He highlights that while the body might be difficult to change, one’s actions can significantly elevate or diminish their status, even influencing how their physical appearance is perceived.

그 사람의 가치와 위상은 다르단 말이야. 위상과 가치를 혼돈하면 안 돼.
A person’s value and status are different. You shouldn’t confuse status with value.

그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐? 아니 키도 조그맣고 못생긴 사람이 물에 뛰어들어와서 물에 빠진 7명을 살려냈다. 그러면 그 사람이 행동이 용이야 용.
What kind of work does that person do? Even if someone is small and ugly, if they jump into the water and save seven drowning people, that person’s action (용) is heroic.

못생긴 애가 외국에 가서 탁구 1등 해 가 와 봐. 챔피언 되가 사람들이 그냥 그 사람을 무슨 신인 모시듯이 해요. 그래 안 그래? 체가 바뀌어 버려요.
If an ugly kid goes abroad and wins first place in table tennis, becoming a champion, people treat them like a god. Right? Their body (체) changes (in perception).

This document is an excerpt from a lecture by Heo Kyung-young titled “The Truth of Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret for Heo Kyung-young’s Era” from October 12, 2013. In this lecture, Heo Kyung-young emphasizes “honesty” as the ultimate secret to success in business, human relationships, and even national governance. He criticizes the current state of society, where dishonesty and materialism prevail, leading to national debt and moral decay. He also introduces his unique philosophical framework, including the “Three Elements” of religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status, all interconnected by the principle of honesty.

The Ultimate Secret: Honesty

Honesty as the Core of Management and Success
Heo Kyung-young argues that honesty is the single most important factor for success in any field, from business management to personal relationships. He criticizes modern business education for focusing on profit-making schemes rather than this fundamental truth.

세계 최고의 잘하는 경영은 뭘까? 최고의 경영은 어떤 비법이 있을까? 최고의 경영… 정직이야.
What is the best management in the world? What is the ultimate secret to management? The ultimate management… it’s honesty.

최고로 성공하는 비법은 또 뭐야? 최고로 성공하는 비법? 정직이라니까.
What’s the ultimate secret to success? The ultimate secret to success? It’s honesty.

아무리 경영학 박사들이 뭐 10가지 방법이 있다 뭐 어떻게 전부 거짓말이야. 무조건 정직이면은 성공하는 거야.
No matter what business administration doctors say about 10 methods or whatever, it’s all lies. If you’re unconditionally honest, you will succeed.

정신 나간 놈들이 경영대학에 가서 어떻게 하면 달러를 돈을 요렇게 요렇게 해 가지고 국민들 돈 있는 사람들 호주머니를 이렇게 해 내느냐 요거 연구하는 게 MBA야. 그래 안 그래? 그건 도둑놈 연습하는 거야.
Crazy people go to business school to study how to manipulate money and extract it from people’s pockets—that’s what an MBA is. Isn’t it? It’s training to be a thief.

The Crisis of Dishonesty in Society
Heo Kyung-young points out that the lack of honesty is leading to the downfall of corporations and even the nation. He criticizes public enterprises and politicians for their lack of accountability and for accumulating massive debt through dishonest practices.

지금 동양그룹이나 이런 그룹들이 다 기업의 최고 경영하는 비법을 모르는 거야.
Groups like Tongyang Group don’t know the ultimate secret to corporate management.

가능하면 회사가 흑자 낸 걸로 해 가지고 일부러 세금을 늘려서 자꾸 내줘야 나중에 정치적인 탄압을 안 받아.
If possible, a company should intentionally increase and pay taxes as if it made a profit, so it won’t face political oppression later.

정직한 사람이 한 명도 없어. 앉아서 국민들 세금 어떻게 내는 가를 몰라요.
There isn’t a single honest person. They sit there, oblivious to how the public’s taxes are paid.

나라가 지금 망해 가는 거는 눈 뜨고 다 보고 앉아 있는 거야. 대책을 안 세워요 대책을.
The country is going to ruin, and everyone is just sitting there watching with their eyes open. They’re not making any plans.

Public Indignation (공분)
Heo Kyung-young introduces the concept of “public indignation” (공분) as a spiritual anger that arises from concern for the future of the youth, distinct from personal rage. He uses the example of Jesus overturning tables in the temple to illustrate this divine anger against dishonesty.

공분은 화내는 게 아니라 이 말이야. 우리의 젊은이들의 미래를 생각해서 화가 나는 거야. 영혼이 화를 내는 걸 공분이라 그래.
Public indignation isn’t just anger. It’s anger that arises from thinking about the future of our youth. When the soul gets angry, that’s called public indignation.

예수가 말이야… 성전 앞에서 그 돈 바꿔주는 사람들 그거 뒤집어 엎어 버리잖아? …그게 하나님이라는 사람이 와서 한 행동이야… 그게 공분이야.
Jesus… overturned the tables of the money changers in front of the temple, didn’t he? …That was an action taken by someone who is God… That’s public indignation.

The Three Elements of Existence

Interconnectedness of the Three Elements
Heo Kyung-young presents a unique framework of “Three Elements” for various aspects of life: religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status. He emphasizes that these elements are interconnected and interdependent, meaning that one cannot exist or be truly effective without the others.

항상 혜는 계를 발목을 잡고 있고 망이나 애는 신을 발목을 잡고 있고 정은 공을 발목을 잡고 있어.
Wisdom always holds precepts by the ankle, hope or love holds faith by the ankle, and rectitude holds emptiness by the ankle.

이 3개가 물고 늘어져. 이 3개가 몇 가지 15가지. 이 15가지가 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트다.
These three are intertwined. These three make up 15 things. These 15 things are the most important points in life.

The Three Elements of Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
Heo Kyung-young outlines the core components of spiritual and intellectual pursuits, highlighting how each set of three elements reinforces the others.

종교의 3대 요소가 뭐야? …계정혜란 말이야.
What are the three elements of religion? …They are precepts (戒), meditation (定), and wisdom (慧).

신앙의 3대 요소는 믿음과 소망과 사랑이야.
The three elements of faith are faith (信), hope (望), and love (愛).

철학의 3대 요소가 뭐여? …공 원 정.
What are the three elements of philosophy? …Emptiness (空), completeness (圓), and rectitude (正).

The Three Elements of Value and Status
Heo Kyung-young connects these abstract concepts to practical human existence, explaining how our values and social standing are also governed by these interconnected principles.

가치의 3대 요소 眞 선 美.
The three elements of value are truth (眞), goodness (善), and beauty (美).

진리를 지키면 선해 보이고 선하면은 아름다운 거야.
If you uphold truth, you appear good, and if you are good, you are beautiful.

위상의 3대 요소 体 相 用.
The three elements of status are body (体), appearance (相), and function (用).

그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐? …행실에 따라서 이 사람의 위상이 올라가고 내려간다 이 말이야.
What kind of work does that person do? …A person’s status rises and falls according to their conduct.

Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion

• The Ultimate Business Secret: Honesty

  • Many corporations, like the current Dongyang Group, fail because they do not understand the ultimate secret to business management, which is honesty .
  • For example, if a company reduces taxes by being close to those in power, the National Tax Service will eventually find out . It is better to intentionally increase taxes by reporting profits to avoid political oppression later .

  • Honesty is the key to success in all aspects, including business and human relationships .
  • MBA programs, which focus on various methods to increase money and attract funds, are seen as training for “thieves” rather than promoting genuine success .

• National Debt and the Lack of Honesty

  • No one can survive without honesty; even financial institutions and central banks will fail .
  • South Korea’s public enterprise debt is approximately 500 trillion won, and the national debt increases by 70 billion won every month .

  • These elements are interconnected; one cannot exist without the others .
  • Value (가치): Truth (眞), Goodness (善), Beauty (美)
  • Human value is zero without upholding truth .
  • Upholding truth leads to goodness, and goodness leads to beauty .
  • If truth is replaced by falsehood (僞), goodness turns into evil (惡), and beauty becomes ugliness (醜) .
  • These three elements are interconnected; if one is corrupted, the others also collapse .
  • Status (위상): Body (體), Appearance (相), Action (用)

  • Asadal, the capital of Dangun, is located in Baekdusan .
  • The Sumerian civilization, which used comb-pattern pottery similar to that found in Asadal, is considered a civilization of the Korean people .
  • The speaker claims that the Korean people, descendants of Hailah (the 12th son of Joktan, 15th generation of Adam), created their own language (Hangul), unlike the Jewish people who still use Hebrew, the language of their enemies .
  • The speaker believes that the Messiah will come from Baekdusan, not the Western Eden, and that the Korean people are destined to unify and change the world .
  • The most beautiful word in the world is “Mother” (어머니), followed by “Love” (사랑), and then “Smile” (웃음) or “Thank you” (감사) . These words represent giving and receiving, which humans fundamentally appreciate .
  • The word “Father” (아버지) is generally disliked, as fathers are not seen as receiving respect .

Ⅲ. Action Items

• Attendees should review and memorize the three elements of religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status as fundamental principles for living an honest life .

1. The ultimate secret to successful business management, according to the lecture, is ________.

(Honesty, The lecture emphasizes that honesty is the single most important factor for successful management, contrasting it with complex, often deceptive, business strategies. A common misconception is that complex financial strategies are key.)

2. O/X: According to the lecture, the “A” sound in words like “Amitabha,” “Eden” (A-den), and “Adam” signifies a connection to the Korean people.
   (O, The lecture states that words beginning with “A” (아) such as Amitabha, Aden, Adam, Asia, Africa, America, and Apache are all connected to the Korean people (한민족). A common misconception might be that this is a linguistic coincidence rather than a specific cultural or historical link.)

3. O/X: The lecture suggests that studying complex financial strategies like those taught in MBA programs is essential for achieving true business success.
   (X, The lecture explicitly criticizes MBA programs for teaching methods that are akin to “thieves’ practice” focused on manipulating money rather than promoting honesty, which is presented as the true secret to success. A common misconception is that advanced financial education is the primary path to business success.)

4. Which of the following is NOT one of the “Three Great Elements” discussed in the lecture?
   ① Religion
   ② Faith
   ③ Philosophy
   ④ Politics
   (④ Politics, The lecture discusses the Three Great Elements of Religion (戒定慧), Faith (信望愛), Philosophy (空圓正), Value (眞善美), and Status (體相用), but not Politics as a distinct set of three elements. A common misconception might be to confuse the discussion of political issues with a formal “Three Great Elements of Politics.”)

5. What is the primary reason the lecture criticizes public corporations and government officials?
   ① Their lack of international business experience.
   ② Their failure to adopt new technologies.
   ③ Their dishonesty and irresponsible management leading to debt.
   ④ Their excessive focus on employee welfare.
   (③ Their dishonesty and irresponsible management leading to debt, The lecture heavily criticizes public corporations and government officials for their lack of honesty, leading to increasing national debt and irresponsible spending, rather than focusing on genuine business success or public service. A common misconception is that their issues are purely economic or structural, not moral.)

6. Short Answer: What is the lecture’s definition of “public indignation” (공분)?
   (Public indignation (공분) is defined as anger that arises from considering the future of young people, or anger of the soul, rather than personal emotional rage. It’s a righteous anger for the collective good.)

Intermediate

1. O/X: According to the lecture, the “Three Great Elements of Faith” (신앙의 3대 요소) are “Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom” (계정혜).
   (X, The lecture states that the “Three Great Elements of Faith” are “Belief, Hope, and Love” (信望愛), while “Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom” (戒定慧) are the “Three Great Elements of Religion.” A common misconception is to confuse these two sets of elements.)

2. O/X: The lecture argues that a person’s physical appearance (체) is entirely unchangeable and has no connection to their actions (용).
   (X, While the lecture notes that physical appearance (체) is somewhat given, it explicitly states that one’s actions (용) can influence and even “change” how their physical appearance is perceived, demonstrating an interconnectedness. A common misconception is that physical traits are entirely separate from one’s conduct.)

3. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the “Three Great Elements” (e.g., Religion, Faith, Philosophy)?
   ① Each element is entirely independent and can be understood in isolation.
   ② They are interconnected, with each element influencing and checking the others.
   ③ They represent a hierarchical structure, with one element always superior to the others.
   ④ They are merely different ways of categorizing human experience without deeper links.
   (② They are interconnected, with each element influencing and checking the others, The lecture repeatedly emphasizes that these elements are not isolated but “hold each other by the ankle” (발목을 잡고 있다), meaning they are interdependent and mutually influential. A common misconception is to view them as separate, distinct categories.)

4. Short Answer: Explain how the concept of “emptiness” (공) is related to “honesty” (정) within the “Three Great Elements of Philosophy” (철학의 3대 요소).
   (Within the Three Great Elements of Philosophy (空圓正), “emptiness” (공) is presented as a prerequisite for “honesty” (정). The lecture uses the example of a rich young man who cannot achieve eternal life because he is unwilling to “empty” himself of his wealth, power, and fame. Honesty, or living righteously, requires letting go of attachments.)

5. Short Answer: According to the lecture, what is the significance of the “A” sound in various names and places (e.g., Amitabha, Aden, Adam, Asia)?
   (The “A” sound (아) signifies a connection to the Korean people (한민족). The lecture suggests that places and figures with “A” in their names, from spiritual figures like Amitabha to geographical regions like Asia, are historically or culturally linked to the Korean lineage, implying a significant role for this ethnic group.)

Advanced

1. Short Answer: How does the lecture connect the “Three Great Elements of Value” (眞善美) with the concept of “honesty” (정직)?
   (The lecture states that human value is derived from upholding truth (眞), which leads to goodness (善) and ultimately beauty (美). Honesty is presented as the fundamental truth that underpins this entire value system. If truth (honesty) is absent, goodness turns into evil (惡), and beauty into ugliness (醜), demonstrating that honesty is the bedrock of human value.)

2. Short Answer: Describe the relationship between “body” (체), “appearance” (상), and “action” (용) as the “Three Great Elements of Status” (위상의 3대 요소).
   (The “Three Great Elements of Status” (體相用) are interconnected. “Body” (체) refers to one’s inherent physical form, which can influence initial perceptions of status. “Appearance” (상) refers to one’s outward presentation and impression, which can be consciously adjusted. “Action” (용) refers to one’s deeds and conduct. The lecture emphasizes that while “body” might be somewhat fixed, “actions” can profoundly change how both “body” and “appearance” are perceived, elevating one’s overall status regardless of initial physical traits. For example, a physically unattractive person who achieves great things (action) can be seen as beautiful.)

3. According to the lecture, what is the primary “idol” (우상) for people in the 21st century, and what is the suggested alternative?
   ① Money; investing in public corporations.
   ② Power; seeking political office.
   ③ One’s own body; dedicating oneself to God/truth.
   ④ Family; prioritizing community welfare.
   (③ One’s own body; dedicating oneself to God/truth, The lecture identifies one’s own body (자기 몸) as the primary idol of the 21st century, with people obsessing over health and longevity. The alternative is to dedicate one’s body, wealth, and power to God or truth, rather than self-worship. A common misconception is that idols are only external objects, not self-obsession.)

4. How does the lecture differentiate between “환생” (reincarnation on Earth) and “왕생” (rebirth in paradise)?
   (The lecture explains that “환생” (還生) refers to being reborn on Earth, typically for those who have committed ordinary sins. “왕생” (往生), on the other hand, is a higher form of rebirth, specifically into “극락” (paradise or the Pure Land), which is considered the ultimate goal. “상생” (上生) is an intermediate stage of being born in the heavens (천상) before reaching “왕생.” A common misconception is that all forms of rebirth are the same.)

Summary of Main Content

The Ultimate Secret: Honesty
Huh Kyung-young identifies honesty as the ultimate secret to successful management and personal achievement. He states that while management experts may propose various methods, all are ultimately false if they lack honesty.

Critique of Dishonest Management and National Debt

• Corporate Dishonesty: Corporations like Dongyang Group fail because they do not understand the secret of honesty. He cites the example of HyoSung Group’s founder, Cho Hong-je, who made a mistake by trying to reduce taxes, which is ultimately known by the National Tax Service.
  • Companies should proactively pay more taxes when profitable to avoid political repercussions later.
  • Accounting fraud (분식회계) to hide deficits is a form of dishonesty that leads to eventual downfall.
• National and Public Enterprise Debt:
  • Public enterprises accumulate 500 trillion won in debt, increasing by 70 billion won monthly.
  • National foreign debt is 500 trillion won, and household debt is 1,000 trillion won.
  • This debt accumulation is attributed to a lack of honest officials who prioritize public service over personal gain and wasteful spending.
  • He proposes that executives of public enterprises should have their salaries cut if their departments incur deficits, and those responsible for deficit-generating projects should be fired.
• Concealed Wealth: He criticizes high-ranking officials for hoarding 50,000 won banknotes in secret.
  • He states that if he becomes president, he will change the currency to expose this hidden wealth.

Public Indignation (公憤)

• Definition: Public indignation (공분) is not personal anger but a spiritual wrath arising from concern for the future of the youth.
• Contrast with Rage (激怒): Personal emotional anger is “rage,” whereas public indignation is a spiritual anger for the greater good.
• Example of Jesus: Jesus overturning the tables of money changers in the temple is presented as an act of public indignation, not personal rage.

Seven Principles Without Honesty
Huh Kyung-young lists seven areas that become problematic without their core principles:

1. Politics without principles (원칙 없는 정치)
2. Pleasure without conscience (양심 없는 쾌락)
3. Wealth without effort (노력 없는 재물)
4. Education without character (인격 없는 교육)
5. Economy without morality (도덕 없는 경제)
6. Religion without sacrifice (희생 없는 종교)
7. Science without environment (환경 없는 과학)

The Three Core Elements of Life’s Domains
Huh Kyung-young outlines three essential elements for various aspects of human existence, emphasizing their interconnectedness and the central role of honesty.

• Three Elements of Religion (宗敎의 3대 요소):

  • Precepts (戒): Upholding moral rules and living a righteous life.
  • Concentration (定): Maintaining a focused and stable mind.
  • Wisdom (慧): Possessing insight and understanding.
  • These three elements are interdependent; for example, wisdom without precepts (like a thief giving to the poor) is not true wisdom.

• Three Elements of Faith (信仰의 3대 요소):

  • Faith (信): Belief and trust.
  • Hope (望): Expectation and aspiration.
  • Love (愛): Affection and compassion.
  • These elements must be united; faith cannot be separated from hope and love.

• Three Elements of Philosophy (哲學의 3대 요소):

  • Emptiness (空): Letting go of material possessions, power, and fame.
  • This is exemplified by Jesus’s teaching to the rich young man and Buddha’s advice to the king, both requiring the renunciation of worldly attachments for eternal life.
  • Wholeness/Roundness (圓): Maintaining harmonious relationships, especially within family and society.
  • Righteousness (正) without wholeness can lead to destructive actions, like Hitler’s.
  • Righteousness/Honesty (正): Living justly and honestly.
  • These elements are interconnected; righteousness without emptiness and wholeness is incomplete.

The Age of Idols and Materialism

• Self as Idol: In the 21st century, people make their own bodies an idol, obsessing over health and longevity.
• Family as Idol: Family also becomes an idol, overshadowing devotion to the Holiest.
• Materialism (唯物論): This era is characterized by materialism, where people worship various material possessions and power.
• Transcending Idols: True purpose involves transcending these idols and dedicating oneself to the Holiest and truth.

The Three Elements of Value (價値의 3대 요소)

• Truth (眞): Upholding truth is fundamental to human value.
• Goodness (善): Living truthfully leads to goodness.
• Beauty (美): Goodness, in turn, manifests as beauty.
• Interdependence: These three are inseparable; a person who upholds truth is seen as good and beautiful.
• The Opposite: If truth is replaced by falsehood (僞), goodness transforms into evil (惡), and beauty into ugliness (醜).

The Three Elements of Status (位相의 3대 요소)

• Body (體): Physical appearance and stature, often influenced by past lives.
• Appearance/Impression (相): One’s facial expression and demeanor, which can be cultivated and changed.
• Action/Conduct (用): One’s deeds and behavior, which significantly impact status and can even alter physical appearance.
• Interconnectedness: These elements are mutually influential; positive actions can elevate one’s status, even if physical appearance is not conventionally attractive.

Key Policies and Proposals

• Currency Reform: Upon becoming president, Huh Kyung-young states he will implement currency reform to expose hidden wealth.

Philosophical and Cosmic Insights

The Cycle of Rebirth (六道輪廻)
Huh Kyung-young describes a hierarchy of rebirth, from lower realms to higher spiritual states:

1. Hell Realm (地獄界): The lowest state, associated with ghosts (鬼生).
2. Hungry Ghost Realm (餓鬼界): Rebirth as microorganisms (餓生).
3. Animal Realm (畜生界): Rebirth as animals on Earth.
4. Asura Realm (修羅界): A realm of conflict and passion.
5. Human Realm (人界): Rebirth as humans on Earth (還生).
6. Heavenly Realm (天上界): Rebirth in a higher celestial world (上生), an upgraded version of Earth.
7. Pure Land/Paradise (極樂): The ultimate goal, rebirth in the Pure Land (往生), also known as Sukhavati.

The Holiest and the “A” Sound

• Amitābha Buddha as Holiest: Amitābha Buddha, who governs the heavenly realms, is equated with the Christian God and the Creator.
• The “A” Sound and the Korean People: The sound “A” (아) is deeply connected to the Korean people (한민족) and significant spiritual concepts:
  • Amitābha (阿彌陀佛)
  • Asadal (아사달): The capital of Dangun, located at Baekdusan.
  • Aden (아덴): The true pronunciation of Eden.
  • Adam (아담)
  • Continents: Asia, Africa, America
  • Family: Father (아버지), Apache
  • Iceland (아이슬란드)
• Sumerian Civilization and Korean Ancestry: The Sumerian civilization, which used comb-pattern pottery similar to artifacts found at Baekdusan Asadal, is identified as an ancestral civilization of the Korean people.
  • The word “Sumer” (스메르) is said to mean “cow” (소).
• Haila and the Eastern Eden: Haila, the 12th son of Joktan (15th generation descendant of Adam), migrated to the East and established the capital at Baekdusan, which is considered the “Eastern Eden.”
  • Unlike the Jewish people, who lost their language and surnames after rejecting Jesus, the Korean people developed their own language (Hangul) and maintained their identity.
  • The Messiah is prophesied to come from this Eastern Eden (Baekdusan).
• Maitreya (彌勒): The character “Mi” (彌) in Amitābha (阿彌陀佛) refers to Maitreya, signifying that Maitreya (the Holiest in human form) will come to the Korean Peninsula (亞).

The Most Beautiful Words
A global survey identified the most beautiful words:

1. Mother (어머니): Symbolizes selfless giving and sacrifice.
2. Love (사랑): Also represents giving.
3. Smile (웃음)/Thank You (감사): Expresses gratitude and positive reception.

• Humans fundamentally appreciate words associated with receiving and selfless giving.

Critique of Reality and Alternatives

• Critique of Education: Modern MBA programs are criticized for teaching methods to exploit people’s money, akin to “training thieves.”
• Critique of Leadership: Leaders in politics, business, and public service lack honesty, leading to national debt and societal problems.
• Critique of Materialism: The 21st century’s obsession with the body and material possessions is a form of idolatry that hinders spiritual growth.

Practical Implications

• Embrace Honesty: Individuals should prioritize honesty in all aspects of life, recognizing it as the fundamental path to success and value.
• Practice “Emptiness”: Learn to detach from material wealth, power, and fame to achieve spiritual fulfillment.
• Cultivate Interconnected Values: Understand that religious, philosophical, and human values are interdependent and must be practiced holistically.
• Elevate Personal Status: Improve one’s status through righteous actions and conduct, which can even positively influence physical appearance.
• Recognize National Destiny: The Korean people have a unique and significant role in global transformation, which they must acknowledge and fulfill.

One-Sentence Core Summary
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture asserts that honesty is the ultimate secret to success in all domains—personal, corporate, and national—and is intrinsically linked to core values like truth, goodness, beauty, and the philosophical principles of emptiness, wholeness, and righteousness, urging individuals to transcend materialism and embrace their spiritual destiny.

The Truth of Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret for Huh Kyung-young’s Era

1. Honesty as the Pinnacle of Management and Success
   The topic for today’s lecture is “The Truth of Honesty.” What is the ultimate secret to superior management? What is the most effective strategy for achieving success? The answer is honesty. Many contemporary conglomerates, such as the Dongyang Group, fail to grasp this fundamental principle of management. For instance, Jo Hong-je, the former chairman of Hyosung Group, made a critical error by attempting to reduce tax payments. Even if one is close to those in power, the National Tax Service is fully aware of such maneuvers. It is far more prudent for a company to intentionally increase its tax contributions when profitable. This proactive approach prevents future political repercussions that could devastate the company. Such actions demonstrate a lack of honesty.

In the 1980s, it was possible to manipulate financial records, such as fabricating a trillion-won deficit from exports. Through accounting fraud, a company could continuously offset profits until 2012, claiming no net income. Do you believe the National Tax Service would view this favorably? Such practices are easily uncovered through investigation and will result in severe penalties when the company’s influence wanes. While powerful entities may evade scrutiny temporarily, the ultimate truth is that honesty is the paramount principle for success, whether in academia, business, or personal relationships. Despite what management experts may claim with their ten-step methods, these are often deceptive. Unwavering honesty is the sole path to enduring success.

Therefore, there is no need to study such convoluted methods. Those who attend business schools to learn how to extract wealth from the populace are merely training to be financial opportunists. They study how to manipulate money, inflate interest, and design insurance products to attract capital. They receive doctorates for mastering these techniques. However, even these financial experts, like those at Dongyang Securities, face collapse when they lack honesty. No entity, not even the Bank of Korea, can survive without it.

Consider the nation’s escalating debt. Public enterprises alone carry approximately 500 trillion won in debt, which translates to 10 million won per citizen. This debt increases by 70 billion won monthly. Public enterprise employees prioritize their salaries and bonuses over the success of their companies, showing no concern for the nation’s financial health. There is a profound absence of honest individuals. They remain oblivious to the sacrifices of citizens who work tirelessly to pay taxes, while they themselves incur deficits, squander resources, and treat overseas business trips as leisure. If honest public servants were prevalent, national debt would decrease. However, the national debt remains at 500 trillion won, with household debt reaching 1,000 trillion won.

What are these individuals doing? The nation incurs a 70 billion won deficit daily, while the public collects taxes. This is not merely a deficit but an increase in debt. Executives of public enterprises should undergo rigorous re-education. If a deficit occurs, their salaries should be reduced accordingly, or their positions eliminated. Which company would then dare to incur a deficit? The nation is visibly collapsing, yet no effective measures are being implemented. Those responsible for unprofitable ventures should be dismissed. If a department incurs a deficit, all those involved in its planning should be terminated. Otherwise, deficits will persist. Local governments also incur deficits, and when combined with public enterprise debt, the nation becomes a mountain of debt. This situation ignites a righteous indignation within me.

This trajectory will impoverish future generations, leading to a fate similar to Argentina. Where does the money disappear? It is converted into 50,000 won banknotes and hidden by public officials and high-ranking individuals. I will not tolerate this. Upon becoming president, I will implement currency reform. All hidden 50,000 won notes will become worthless overnight. Do not expect these notes to be exchanged. Those who possess them will face ruin. People must awaken. The 50,000 won notes, once printed, vanish into basements. Even 10 billion won in 50,000 won notes barely fills a single ramen box. Yet, individuals hoard hundreds of billions of won in these notes. When 50,000 won notes are printed, they simply disappear from circulation.

Therefore, honesty is the ultimate secret to both personal and national management. My indignation stems not from personal anger but from a profound concern for the future of our youth. This spiritual anger is called Gongbun (公憤), or righteous indignation. Personal anger is mere rage. Gongbun is a collective, spiritual anger for the greater good. However, few individuals exhibit Gongbun. This is a profoundly significant matter.

Consider Jesus, who overturned the tables of money changers in the temple. His disciples were astonished. If Jesus were merely a figure of love and forgiveness, he would have understood and pardoned them. Yet, he acted like a madman, shouting and throwing things. This was an act of Gongbun. Heaven itself, when angered, can unleash earthquakes to cleanse the world. This signifies a lack of honesty among humanity. They exploit God for profit. God, who commands us to love our enemies, directly expresses anger. This is the essence of Gongbun.

2. The Interconnected Principles of Existence
   In ancient wisdom, certain principles were articulated:

• Politics without principle
• Pleasure without conscience
• Wealth without effort
• Education without character
• Economy without morality
• Religion without sacrifice
• Science without environmental consciousness
  Politics lacks principle, pleasure lacks conscience, and wealth is acquired without effort. The economy often operates without morality. Religion, too, frequently lacks sacrifice. Education without character is hollow, and science without environmental consideration is perilous.

Let us delve into the three core elements of religion. These are Gye (戒), Jeong (定), and Hye (慧). Gye represents precepts or moral discipline, Jeong signifies meditative concentration, and Hye denotes wisdom. These are distinct from the three elements of faith, which are Shin (信), Mang (望), and Ae (愛)—faith, hope, and love.

Religion’s three elements are intrinsically linked to honesty. Gye, or precepts, demands a righteous life, free from deviation. Hye, or wisdom, involves giving to others. However, giving must be rooted in honesty. A thief who steals and then gives to others lacks honesty, rendering their generosity meaningless. True Hye must be accompanied by Jeong, or honesty. Wisdom without honesty is futile. For instance, if someone robs the Bank of Korea and distributes the money to the poor, is that not a sin? Such wisdom, devoid of honesty, is useless because it violates the precepts of religion, such as “do not steal.” Thus, Gye, Jeong, and Hye mutually regulate each other.

Similarly, faith, hope, and love must be interconnected. A faith that lacks belief, focusing solely on hope and love, is incomplete. These three elements must be unified to form true faith. A crippled faith, where belief is absent and only prayers for desires are offered, is a faith of hope and love without belief, leading to ruin. These elements are interdependent; one cannot exist in isolation. Giving, or Hye, is a virtuous act, but if it stems from theft, violating Gye, it is meaningless. This underscores the profound importance of these interconnected principles.

Many people do not fully grasp the concept of honesty. It must be understood through a process of deconstruction and learning. What are the three elements of philosophy? They are all connected to truth and honesty. Why does human philosophy exist? The three elements of philosophy are Gong (空), Won (圓), and Jeong (正). Gong signifies emptiness or void, Won represents completeness or harmony, and Jeong denotes righteousness or honesty.

Here, the character Jeong (正) for righteousness must be a Jeong that contains Gong (空), or emptiness. Consider the rich young man who approached Jesus, seeking eternal life. Jesus told him to renounce all his wealth. “You cannot possess eternal life as long as you cling to your possessions, power, and honor. You must empty yourself (Gong).” The young man found this too difficult and departed. This narrative is found in the Bible.

Similarly, a king approached Sakyamuni Buddha, seeking enlightenment. The Buddha instructed him to abandon his kingdom, his concubines, his power, his honor, and distribute all his wealth to the common people. The king found this proposition daunting and offered lavish donations to the temple instead. Sakyamuni replied that such offerings were meaningless as long as he clung to his worldly attachments. Eternal life cannot enter one who is not empty. Therefore, honesty (Jeong) requires emptiness (Gong). Only then can completeness (Won) be achieved, leading to harmony.

A square, with its sharp angles, can cause injury. A child falling on it would be hurt. However, a circle, being round, is harmless. This illustrates Gong, Won, and Jeong. Righteousness (Jeong) cannot exist without emptiness (Gong). Righteousness (Jeong) cannot exist without completeness (Won). If one claims to live righteously but abuses their mother, is that truly righteous? Completeness (Won) implies harmonious family relationships. Righteousness, however important, must exist within the framework of harmonious human relationships. Did Hitler’s pursuit of “righteousness” justify annihilating Europe and killing millions? That is not righteousness. Righteousness must be accompanied by harmony. These principles are intertwined, each holding the other in check. Some attempt to separate them, seeking eternal life without fulfilling these conditions, but this is impossible. Therefore, one must not underestimate honesty. Truth, when deconstructed, reveals these interconnected principles.

Hye (wisdom) always holds Gye (precepts) in check. Mang (hope) and Ae (love) hold Shin (faith) in check. Jeong (righteousness) holds Gong (emptiness) in check. To live honestly, one must be willing to embrace poverty. Jesus said of the rich young man, “How foolish he is.” If he had simply declared, “I will dedicate my wealth, power, and honor to God,” it would have sufficed. He did not need to immediately relinquish them. He merely needed to empty his heart of attachment.

Jesus also said, “Offer your body as a living sacrifice.” In the 21st century, people’s bodies have become idols. They dedicate their entire lives to seeking health and longevity. Yet, Heaven demands that we offer our bodies. People’s bodies and families have become idols, rather than being dedicated to the divine. Thus, the 21st century is an era of idolatry, a materialistic ideology that has reached its limit. Material possessions and power have become pervasive idols. People lack the will to transcend these idols and dedicate themselves to God, truth, or Buddha.

What are the three elements of value? This is crucial. The three elements of religion are Gye, Jeong, and Hye. The three elements of faith are Shin, Mang, and Ae. The three elements of philosophy are Gong, Won, and Jeong. Therefore, in the truth of honesty, righteousness must be founded on emptiness. Love must be founded on faith. Giving to others must be based on honestly acquired wealth and directed towards righteous causes. These three elements are always interconnected. To claim that philosophy is merely honesty is incorrect. Philosophy exists between emptiness and honesty.

Faith and love are connected to belief and hope. Giving must be based on honestly earned money and used for righteous purposes. It would be inappropriate to feed criminals. Therefore, one must earn money honestly and use it for righteous giving. If one of these elements is missing, the entire system collapses. If one upholds one principle but neglects another, it leads to ruin. I emphasize these three-element systems because they always involve three interconnected aspects.

3. The Cosmic Journey and the Korean Heritage
   In the cycle of rebirth, a higher stage than Hwan-saeng (還生), or reincarnation on Earth, is Sang-saeng (上生), rebirth in the celestial realm. Above that is Wang-saeng (往生), rebirth in Sukhavati, or the Pure Land. The celestial realm is governed by Amitabha Buddha in Buddhism, who is equivalent to God in Christianity—the Creator. Amitabha Buddha is also synonymous with Vairocana Buddha.

Why do humans live a lifetime on Earth and then reincarnate? Hwan-saeng refers to rebirth on Earth. Below Hwan-saeng is Chuk-saeng (畜生), rebirth as an animal, which includes creatures living underground. Below Chuk-saeng is A-saeng (餓生), rebirth as a hungry ghost or microorganism, unable to eat. Even lower is Gwi-saeng (鬼生), rebirth as a ghost, which is considered hell.

The Buddhist concept of the Six Paths of Reincarnation includes:

• Jigok-gye (地獄界): Hell Realm
• Agwi-gye (餓鬼界): Hungry Ghost Realm
• Chuksaeng-gye (畜生界): Animal Realm
• Sura-gye (修羅界): Asura Realm
• In-gye (人界): Human Realm
• Cheonsang-gye (天上界): Celestial Realm
  The highest stage of the Six Paths is the Celestial Realm. Those who have committed minor sins are reborn as humans (Hwan-saeng). Those with slightly better karma ascend to Sang-saeng, being reborn in the heavens. The stage above that is Wang-saeng, which is equivalent to Sukhavati, or the Pure Land. Our ultimate human purpose is to reach Wang-saeng, typically by passing through Sang-saeng.

The celestial realm is governed by Amitabha Buddha, who is the Creator, the God of Christianity. Amitabha Buddha is also associated with Vairocana Buddha and presides over the Western Paradise. It is fascinating to observe the prevalence of the “Ah” sound in significant names and places related to our heritage:

• Amitabha (阿彌陀佛)
• Asadal (아사달): The capital of Dangun, located at Baekdusan.
• Aden (아덴): The true pronunciation of Eden.
• Adam (아담)
• Asia (아시아)
• Africa (아프리카)
• America (아메리카)
• Father (아버지)
• Apache (아파치)
  All words beginning with “Ah” are connected to the Korean people. Amitabha, Aden, Adam, and Asadal are all linked. Asadal, Dangun’s capital, is located at Baekdusan. The civilization that emerged from Aden in the West is the Sumerian civilization. Sumerian culture, characterized by comb-pattern pottery, is identical to that found at Baekdusan Asadal. The Sumerian civilization is thus our ancestral civilization, with “Sumer” meaning “cow.”

The Sumerian civilization, which originated in Aden, eventually migrated to Baekdusan. While we share a common ancestry with the Jewish people, stemming from the 12th son of Joktan, the 15th descendant of Adam, named Haila, there is a crucial difference. Haila migrated eastward to Baekdusan, where we developed our own language, Hangul. The other twelve brothers remained in the West, forming the Jewish people, who, to this day, lack their own language, using Hebrew, the language of their conquerors.

Heaven has abandoned the Western Eden. The Messiah will come to the Eastern Eden, Baekdusan. We have created the world’s finest language. The Jewish people, however, lack both a surname and a distinct language, a curse that befell them after they crucified Jesus. They were scattered across the world. However, Haila, the 12th son of Joktan, settled in Baekdusan, where we were granted surnames, and from where the Messiah will emerge. This is why Huh Kyung-young is here, and this region is where it all begins.

All significant places and concepts, from Adam to Aden, Asadal, Amitabha, Asia, Africa, America, Father, Apache, and even Iceland, begin with “Ah.” This is why “Father” (아버지) and “Papa” (아빠) are derived from this root.

A global survey on the most beautiful words revealed:

1. Mother (어머니)
2. Love (사랑)
3. Smile (미소), also expressed as Thank you (감사)

These words are cherished because they represent receiving. We receive endlessly from our mothers. Mothers are inherently sacrificial. They prioritize their children’s happiness, even if it means living alone to avoid conflict with their children’s spouses. They constantly worry about their children, while children often do not reciprocate this concern. Parents find joy in not burdening their children and do not seek to receive from them. The word “Mother” embodies profound sacrifice. This is why it is universally beloved.

The “Ah” in “Mother” (어머니) is significant. “Father” (아버지), however, is often disliked. This reflects our lineage. The “Mi” in Amitabha (阿彌陀佛) refers to Maitreya Buddha. The “Ah” in Amitabha and Asia (亞) refers to the Korean Peninsula. It signifies that Maitreya will come to the Korean Peninsula. Maitreya and Amitabha are synonymous. It means that a celestial being will descend to Earth in human form, specifically on the Korean Peninsula. This is a crucial piece of knowledge.

Our value as a people is immense. We are destined to unify and transform the world, yet we remain unaware. I am here to enlighten you. My presence signifies the beginning of this transformation.

4. The Three Elements of Value and Status
   What are the three elements of our human value? They are Jin (眞), Seon (善), and Mi (美)—Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

• To possess value, one must uphold Truth.
• Upholding Truth leads to Goodness.
• Goodness, in turn, manifests as Beauty.
  Consider Ahn Jung-geun, the independence activist. If his actions were rooted in truth, we perceive him as beautiful. Beauty is inseparable from truth. If someone is handsome but a thief, do we consider them beautiful? No. Conversely, an elderly woman, wrinkled and frail, who raised eight children and sent them to university through farming, is considered beautiful because she embodied truth.

One who upholds truth is good and beautiful. And one who is beautiful must be one who upholds truth. These elements are inextricably linked. They cannot be separated. This is what I am teaching you today.

Human value is distinct from the three elements of philosophy, faith, and religion. This is a profound insight that should be taught at institutions like Harvard University. No professor at Harvard possesses this knowledge. A global scholar like myself is here in Korea, not America.

The three elements of human value are Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. If Wi (僞), or falsehood, replaces Truth, human value plummets. If a minister is arrested for corruption, their life is ruined. Their perceived beauty vanishes instantly. Their goodness transforms into Ak (惡), or evil. And evil, in turn, leads to Chu (醜), or ugliness.

Thus, pursuing truth leads to truth, goodness, and beauty. But pursuing falsehood leads to falsehood, evil, and ugliness. One becomes a despicable person. Therefore, we must not pursue falsehood. I am revealing the fundamental secret of how to uphold truth. This is a world-class lecture.

Next, we have the three elements of human status. Status is different from value. The value of a prosecutor general is distinct from their status. We must not confuse status with value. Status is what is perceived through one’s appearance or impression. The three elements of status are Che (體), Sang (相), and Yong (用).

• Che (體) refers to one’s physical body. A prosecutor general who is handsome and tall commands a certain status. If they are unattractive, they may be underestimated, even if they have done nothing wrong. This is linked to one’s past life.

• Sang (相) refers to one’s appearance or impression, which can be changed. Even if one is unattractive or short, they can cultivate charm. If an unattractive person constantly shouts, their impression deteriorates. Sang can be adjusted to complement Che.

• Yong (用) refers to one’s actions or conduct. If a small, unattractive person saves seven people from drowning, their actions elevate their status. Conduct can change one’s appearance and even one’s physical body. These three elements are interconnected, each influencing the others.
  To elevate or diminish one’s status, one must understand these five sets of three elements. To live without this knowledge is to live in vain.

• The three elements of religion: Gye, Jeong, Hye

• The three elements of faith: Shin, Mang, Ae

• The three elements of philosophy: Gong, Won, Jeong

• The three elements of value: Jin, Seon, Mi

• The three elements of status: Che, Sang, Yong
  These fifteen elements are the most crucial aspects of life. You must write them down and memorize them. This knowledge is not found in any book in the world. It is a fundamental truth that even philosophy professors in Korea do not possess. Only a Messiah from Heaven can impart such wisdom.

Do you now fathom the essence of honesty? It is intertwined with upholding precepts, faith, and all these principles. What good is a handsome body if one engages in infidelity? Their status collapses. What good is beauty if goodness is absent? It is meaningless. These three elements are always interconnected. These fifteen principles are the most vital points in life. Write them down and commit them to memory.

The Truth of Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret for Huh Kyung-young’s Era

1. The Divine Principle of Honesty in Management
   The lecture today is titled “The Truth of Honesty.” What is the secret to the world’s best management? What is the ultimate method for superior management? It is honesty. Many corporations, such as the Dongyang Group, fail to grasp this ultimate secret of management. For instance, Jo Hong-je, the chairman of the Hyosung Group, made a mistake by attempting to reduce taxes. Even if one is close to those in power, the National Tax Service is aware of such maneuvers. It is always preferable for a company to intentionally increase its tax payments when profitable, thereby avoiding political repercussions later. This approach prevents the company from collapsing suddenly. Such actions demonstrate a lack of honesty.

In the past, it was possible to manipulate financial records. For example, a company might declare a deficit of one trillion won from exports in the 1980s, then use accounting fraud to spread this loss until 2012, claiming no profits. The National Tax Service would not view this favorably; a thorough investigation would reveal the truth, leading to severe penalties when the company’s influence wanes. While powerful, they might be untouchable, but eventually, they will face consequences. Therefore, whether at Harvard or any other university, the ultimate secret to management and success is honesty. The greatest secret to success in human relationships and business is simply honesty. All the ten-step methods proposed by management experts are falsehoods. Success is guaranteed through unwavering honesty.

There is no need to study such deceptive practices. Those who attend business schools to learn how to extract money from people’s pockets are merely training to be thieves. They study how to manipulate money, inflate interest, and create insurance products to attract more funds. They receive doctorates for excelling in these pursuits. However, even these experts, like those at Dongyang Securities, face problems when they lack this fundamental principle. Without honesty, even financial institutions like insurance companies, securities firms, and the Bank of Korea will fail. No one can survive without it.

Consider the nation’s debt. Public enterprises alone have a debt of approximately 500 trillion won, meaning each citizen bears a burden of ten million won. This public enterprise debt increases by 70 billion won each month. This amounts to tens of trillions of won annually. Yet, public enterprise employees prioritize their salaries and bonuses, showing no concern for the company’s success or efficient operations. There is not a single honest person among them. They are oblivious to how citizens earn money through hard work, often sacrificing sleep and enduring illness, only to pay taxes. These officials, however, sit idly, accumulating deficits, and treat overseas business trips as mere vacations.

If honest public servants existed, national debt would decrease. However, the national public enterprise debt remains at 500 trillion won, foreign debt is 500 trillion won, and household debt is 1,000 trillion won. What are these people doing? The nation’s daily tax revenue is significant, yet these entities incur a monthly deficit of 70 billion won. This is an increase in debt. Therefore, all executives of public enterprises should undergo re-education. If a deficit occurs, their salaries should be reduced accordingly, or the number of executives should be cut. Which company would then dare to incur a deficit? The nation is collapsing before our very eyes, yet no measures are being taken. In the future, anyone involved in a deficit-generating project will be dismissed. This applies to entire departments and their initiators. Otherwise, deficits will continue indefinitely. Local governments also incur deficits. When combined, public enterprise and local government debts render the nation a mountain of debt. This is not a personal matter; it ignites a righteous indignation within me.

Such actions will impoverish future generations, turning Korea into another Argentina, where wealth is plundered. Where does the money go? It is converted into 50,000 won bills and hidden by public officials and high-ranking individuals. I will not tolerate this. When I become president, I will change the currency. All hidden 50,000 won bills will become worthless overnight. Even if one has accumulated a vast fortune, it will be rendered useless. People must awaken. As soon as 50,000 won bills are printed, they disappear into basements. One hundred billion won in 50,000 won bills barely fills a ramen box. There are people who hoard hundreds of billions of won in these bills. When 50,000 won bills are printed, they vanish.

Therefore, honesty is the ultimate secret to personal and national management. I am filled with righteous indignation, not personal anger, but a profound spiritual anger for the future of our youth. This is what is called public indignation. When Jesus overturned the tables of money changers in the temple, it was an act of public indignation. He did not understand them with love and forgiveness; instead, he acted like a madman, shouting and throwing things. His disciples fled, thinking he had lost his mind. This is public indignation. Heaven, too, expresses its anger through earthquakes.

This situation arises because people lack honesty. They exploit God for profit. God, who commands us to love our enemies, directly expresses anger. This is the essence of public indignation. As it was said in the past:

• Politics without principle
• Pleasure without conscience
• Wealth without effort
• Education without character
• Economy without morality
• Religion without sacrifice
• Science without environment
  Politics lacks principle. Pleasure lacks conscience. Wealth is gained without effort. Why does the economy continue to decline? It is wealth without effort. What about education without character? What about an economy without morality? Religion without sacrifice. Why is religion called religion without character? Science without environment.

2. The Three Pillars of Truth: Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
   Let me explain the three fundamental elements of religion. These are Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom. One must adhere to precepts and live a righteous life, not a crooked one. Then, one must practice giving to others. Giving and honesty are distinct. A thief who steals and then gives to others is not honest, and such giving is unacceptable. There must be wisdom rooted in honesty. Wisdom without honesty is useless. If someone robs the Bank of Korea and distributes the money to the poor, would that not be a sin? Wisdom without honesty is futile because it violates the precepts of religion, such as “do not steal.” Thus, Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom mutually regulate each other.

Similarly, the three elements of faith are Faith, Hope, and Love. If one lacks faith but only hopes and loves, it is insufficient. Faith, Hope, and Love must be unified to form the three elements of faith. Lame faith, however, omits faith and only prays for things in church. This is hope and love without faith, which leads to ruin. These elements are interconnected; one cannot consider faith in isolation. Behind faith are hope and love, and behind hope and love is faith. They are realized only when connected. Giving is a good deed, but if one steals to give, violating precepts, it is useless. Therefore, these principles are of utmost importance.

Some people do not understand honesty. They must learn it through deconstruction. The three elements of philosophy are Emptiness, Wholeness, and Righteousness. These are all connected to truth and honesty. Why does philosophy exist? The “Righteousness” here must be a righteousness that includes “Emptiness.” A rich young man once approached Jesus, asking for eternal life. Jesus replied that to receive eternal life, he must abandon all his wealth, power, and honor. As long as he possessed these, eternal life could not exist within him. The young man found this difficult and left. This is recorded in the Bible.

Similarly, a king approached Sakyamuni Buddha, seeking enlightenment. The Buddha told him he must abandon his kingdom, his concubines, his power, his honor, and distribute all his wealth to the poor. The king found this problematic and offered to make large donations to the temple instead. Sakyamuni replied that donations were useless; as long as he clung to these worldly possessions, eternal life could not enter him. Therefore, honesty requires Emptiness. When emptiness exists, Wholeness can emerge, leading to a harmonious state.

Consider a square shape. If a child falls on it, they will get hurt. But a circle is whole. Righteousness without emptiness cannot exist. Righteousness without wholeness cannot exist. If I claim to live righteously but beat my mother, is that righteous? Wholeness involves family relationships, such as between a mother and child. Therefore, while righteousness is important, it must exist within the framework of harmonious human relationships. Did Hitler act righteously by destroying Europe and killing people? That is not righteousness. Righteousness must be accompanied by wholeness. These elements are interconnected. Some people try to separate them and ask for eternal life, but it is impossible. Therefore, do not underestimate honesty. Truth contains these deconstructed elements; it is not merely simple truth.

Wisdom always holds precepts in check, hope and love hold faith in check, and righteousness holds emptiness in check. If I strive to live honestly, I may have to live in poverty. Jesus said that the young man who left was foolish. If he had simply declared, “I will dedicate my wealth, power, and honor to God,” it would have been enough. He did not need to give them up immediately. He just needed to declare his intention to use his power and possessions for God. Jesus said that the young man failed to empty his heart.

Jesus said, “Offer your body as a sacrifice.” This means one must first offer oneself. In the 21st century, people’s bodies have become idols. They dedicate their entire lives to seeking health and longevity. But Heaven demands that we offer our bodies as they are. People’s bodies and families have become idols, instead of being dedicated to God. Therefore, the 21st century is the age of idols, an age of materialism. This materialism has reached its limit. Idols of material possessions and power are everywhere. Everything visible has become an idol. Few people transcend these idols and dedicate them to God or Buddha.

What are the three elements of value? This is crucial. The three elements of religion are Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom. The three elements of faith are Faith, Hope, and Love. The three elements of philosophy are Emptiness, Wholeness, and Righteousness. In the truth of honesty, righteousness must be based on emptiness. Love is based on faith. Giving to others must be earned honestly and given righteously, following precepts. These three elements are always interconnected. Some might say philosophy is honesty, but that is incorrect. Philosophy exists between emptiness and righteousness.

Faith and love are connected to faith and hope. Giving must be earned honestly and used for righteous purposes. It would be problematic to feed thieves. Therefore, one must earn money honestly according to precepts and give it to righteous causes. If one of these elements is missing, the entire system fails. If one adheres to precepts but fails in other aspects, it still collapses. I emphasize these three elements because they always involve three interconnected aspects.

3. The Cosmic Journey and the Korean Heritage
   Why must humans live a lifetime on Earth? Why do we reincarnate? Reincarnation means being reborn on Earth. What is lower than reincarnation? It is being reborn as an animal, or beast, which means being born into the earth. What is lower than a beast? It is a hungry ghost, or microorganism, born into the earth. What is lower than a microorganism? It is being reborn as a ghost, which is hell. This is the lowest stage.

Above reincarnation is ascension, being reborn as a cosmic being, or in the heavens. This is a step up from Earth. In Buddhism, this is part of the six paths of reincarnation. The lowest are the hungry ghost realm, the beast realm, and the hell realm. Then comes the Asura realm, the human realm, and finally, the heavenly realm. The highest stage of the six paths of reincarnation is being reborn in the heavens. Those who commit minor sins are reincarnated on Earth. Those with slightly better karma ascend to the heavens. Above that is rebirth in the Pure Land, which we call Nirvana. We say “rebirth in Nirvana,” meaning going to the Pure Land. Being born on Earth is reincarnation. Being born as a ghost is ghost-birth. Being born as a microorganism is hungry ghost-birth. Being born as an animal is beast-birth. This is the ultimate destination. Our fundamental purpose is to reach Nirvana, but we must pass through ascension first. There is a higher heavenly world. Who governs this heavenly world in Buddhism? It is Amitabha Buddha, who is equivalent to God in Christianity. Amitabha Buddha is the Creator, similar to Vairocana Buddha, and governs the heavenly realm, the Western Pure Land.

It is interesting to note the prevalence of the “Ah” sound in significant terms. We are the Baekdu Mountain people. Amitabha Buddha, Asadal (the capital of Dangun on Baekdu Mountain), Aden (Eden), Adam, Asia, Africa, America, Abba (Father), Apache—all these words contain the “Ah” sound. Words containing “Ah” are all related to the Korean people. Amitabha Buddha, Aden, Adam, and Asadal (Dangun’s capital on Baekdu Mountain). The location of Asadal is Baekdu Mountain, where four rivers flow. Dangun, who established his capital there, named it Asadal. This Dangun is the descendant of Hailah, who scattered from Israel, as mentioned in Genesis.

What civilization arose in the Middle East, in the Garden of Aden (Eden)? It was the Sumerian civilization. The comb-pattern pottery of the Sumerian civilization is identical to that found in Asadal on Baekdu Mountain. The Sumerian civilization is thus a civilization of the Korean people. “Sumer” means “ox.” This Sumerian civilization, which used comb-pattern pottery, began in Aden and eventually moved to Baekdu Mountain. There is a difference, however. While the Jewish people and we are of the same lineage—Hailah was the 12th son of Joktan, the 15th descendant of Adam, who came to the East—the other 12 brothers went to Judea and became the Israelites.

We, who came to Asia and settled on Baekdu Mountain, created our own language, Hangeul. The Jewish people, however, have not created their own language to this day. They use Hebrew, which is the language of their enemies, similar to us using Japanese. Despite being considered the smartest people in the world, they lack their own language and surnames. This is a curse that befell them after they killed Jesus. They were prevented from creating their own language and surnames, scattered across the world. However, Hailah, the 12th son of Joktan, came to Korea and settled on Baekdu Mountain, where he was given a surname, and the Messiah will come from here. That is why Huh Kyung-young is here, and this region is where it all began.

Adam, Aden, Asadal, Amitabha Buddha, Asia, Africa, America, Abba, Apache, Iceland (the largest ice island)—all these have the “Ah” sound. This is why “Abba” and “Appa” (father) exist. However, a global survey found that the most beautiful word in the world is “Mother.” The second most beautiful word is “Love.” The third is “Smile,” or “Thank you.” People prefer words that signify receiving. We receive so much from our mothers. Mothers think it a joy not to burden their children. They do not expect anything in return. No mother raises her child expecting to be taken care of. The word “Mother” is sacrificial. No mother wants to interfere with her children’s happy lives. People prefer to live alone rather than burden their children. Thus, “Mother” signifies sacrifice; it is not about taking from children. That is why this word is loved worldwide.

The “Ah” in “Amitabha Buddha” (阿彌陀佛) signifies “Maitreya Buddha.” The “Ah” (亞) in Asia refers to the Korean Peninsula. It means Maitreya comes to the Korean Peninsula. Maitreya and Amitabha Buddha are the same. It means a heavenly being comes to Earth in human form, to the Korean Peninsula. This is for your reference. Therefore, our human value lies in being this great nation. We are destined to unify and change the world, but we are unaware. I am here to teach you this. My presence here signifies that this has already begun.

What, then, is our value? What should be the three elements of value? They are Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. If humans are to have value, they must uphold truth; otherwise, their value is zero. Upholding truth makes one appear good, and goodness makes one beautiful. For example, Ahn Jung-geun, who upheld truth even unto death, is seen as beautiful. Beauty is aligned with truth. Anything deviating from truth is not beautiful. If a thief is handsome, do we call him beautiful? No. Even if an old woman is wrinkled and her hands are gnarled, if she raised eight children through farming and sent them to college, she is beautiful.

One who upholds truth is good and beautiful. And one who is beautiful must be one who upholds truth. These elements are interconnected; they cannot be separated. This is what I am teaching you today. The value of human existence, our human value, is distinct from the three elements of philosophy, faith, and religion. This is a profound statement. This lecture should be given at Harvard University. I am revealing these secrets to you. Harvard students cannot hear such lectures because there are no such professors. A world-class professor is here on the Korean Peninsula, not in America. There are no university professors in America who understand the three elements of human value.

Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. If truth is replaced by falsehood, human value changes dramatically. If a minister is arrested for corruption, his life is over. If a university president is involved in scandal, his beauty, which once seemed apparent, vanishes instantly. If falsehood enters, everything disappears. Goodness also vanishes. The person who once seemed like an apostle of justice suddenly loses that image. If this one element goes wrong, everything else collapses. Goodness turns into evil. If it turns into evil, then beauty turns into ugliness. This is utter ugliness.

So, if one pursues truth, one can possess truth, goodness, and beauty. But if one pursues falsehood, one brings forth evil and ugliness. People will say, “That person is truly wicked.” Therefore, we must not pursue falsehood. I am revealing the fundamental secret of how to uphold truth. This is a world-class lecture.

4. The Three Pillars of Human Status: Body, Appearance, and Action
   Then come the three elements of human status: Body, Appearance, and Action. A person’s value and status are different. The way we perceive a prosecutor general’s value and his status are distinct. Do not confuse status with value. This is very important. Status is what emerges from one’s impression or physiognomy. It is a form. If a person becomes false, evil, and ugly, their status declines. They might flee, unable to even provide a proper burial for their mother. If I were to take care of a deceased person’s remains when their family cannot, how grateful would they be? Gratitude extends even to the deceased. Ghosts also repay kindness, as in the story of “tying grass to repay kindness,” where a ghost helps a general.

The Body refers to one’s physical form. Does one’s body possess status? A prosecutor general, if handsome and tall, projects an image of status. But if the same prosecutor general is unattractive, even if he has done nothing wrong, he might be looked down upon. This is status. It is connected to one’s past life, what one brings with them. Appearance is what one changes in this life. This can be altered through one’s impression. No matter how unattractive or short one is, one can still be charming. If an unattractive person shouts, their score decreases. So, appearance should be adjusted to match one’s body. This is the second element of human status. The third is Action.

What does a person do? If a small, unattractive person jumps into the water and saves seven people, their actions elevate their status. Status rises and falls according to one’s actions. Does one’s physiognomy change according to one’s actions? Yes. Can one’s body also be changed by one’s actions? Yes. These elements are interconnected. If you do not understand these five sets of three elements, you are living in vain.

The three elements of religion are Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom. The three elements of faith are Faith, Hope, and Love. The three elements of philosophy are Emptiness, Wholeness, and Righteousness. The three elements of value are Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. The three elements of status are Body, Appearance, and Action. If you do not know these, you are living in vain.

My physiognomy analysis involves these three elements: Body, Appearance, and Action. Even if one’s body is difficult to change, by changing one’s appearance and actions, the body itself can be affected. If an unattractive child goes abroad and wins first place in table tennis, people treat them like a divine being. Their body seems to change, despite their appearance. So, action influences appearance, and appearance influences body. These elements are intertwined. One who understands this can transform their status.

Therefore, religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status are the fundamental principles for living an honest life. These are profound truths. Even philosophy professors in Korea do not possess this basic knowledge. Only I, as the Messiah from Heaven, can speak of these things. No one else knows them. They are not found in any book in the world. They are extremely important. Do you understand what honesty is? All these elements—precepts, faith, and so on—are related to honesty. What good is a handsome body if one commits adultery? Their status plummets. What good is beauty without goodness? It is useless. These three elements are always interconnected. These fifteen elements are the most important points in life. You should write them down and memorize them.

3. Detailed Summary

• Topic: Honesty as the Ultimate Secret to Success

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young declares that honesty (정직) is the single most important secret to achieving success in all areas: business management, personal life, and human relationships. He dismisses complex management theories as “lies” if they lack this fundamental principle.
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references: He cites the failures of major corporations like Dongyang Group and HyoSung Group, attributing their struggles to a lack of honesty, particularly in tax evasion and accounting fraud. He explains that even reducing taxes through political connections is ultimately detrimental, advocating for transparent tax payments to avoid future political repercussions.
  • Practical message or application: Individuals and organizations should prioritize honesty above all else, understanding that short-term gains from dishonest practices will lead to long-term ruin.

• Topic: Critique of National and Public Enterprise Dishonesty

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young criticizes the rampant dishonesty within public enterprises and government, highlighting the massive and growing national debt. He attributes this to irresponsible management, lack of accountability, and a disregard for taxpayers’ money.
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references: He mentions public enterprise debt of 500 trillion won and household debt of 1,000 trillion won, noting that public enterprises incur 70 billion won in debt monthly. He suggests that executives of deficit-making public enterprises should have their salaries cut or be fired, comparing their behavior to “thieves” who exploit public funds.
  • Practical message or application: There must be strict accountability for public officials and enterprise executives, with consequences for financial mismanagement. He also warns against the hoarding of cash (like 50,000 won bills) by corrupt officials, suggesting a future currency change to expose such hidden wealth.

• Topic: “Gongbun” (Public Indignation) and Divine Anger

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young defines Gongbun (공분) as a spiritual anger that arises from concern for the future of humanity, distinct from personal rage (격노). He states that even divine beings experience this “Gongbun.”
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references: He references Jesus’s act of overturning the tables of money changers in the temple, explaining it not as personal anger but as “Gongbun”—divine indignation against those who exploit sacred spaces for dishonest gain. He also mentions natural disasters like earthquakes as manifestations of heaven’s “Gongbun.”
  • Practical message or application: People should cultivate a sense of “Gongbun” for societal injustices and the future, rather than being consumed by personal grievances.

• Topic: The Three Pillars of Existence (Religion, Faith, Philosophy, Value, Status)

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young introduces five sets of “three elements” that are fundamentally interconnected and all rooted in honesty:
  • Religion (종교): Precepts (戒), Concentration (定), Wisdom (慧)
  • Faith (신앙): Faith (信), Hope (望), Love (愛)
  • Philosophy (철학): Emptiness (空), Wholeness (圓), Rectitude (正)
  • Value (가치): Truth (眞), Goodness (善), Beauty (美)
  • Status (위상): Body (体), Appearance (相), Action (用)
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references:
  • He explains that “wisdom” without “precepts” (honesty) is like a thief giving away stolen money—it’s not true benevolence.
  • For philosophy, he uses the example of a rich young man in the Bible and a king approaching Buddha, both unwilling to “empty” themselves of wealth and power to achieve eternal life or enlightenment.
  • He illustrates “wholeness” with a circle (○) versus a square (□), where the circle represents harmonious relationships, emphasizing that “rectitude” (바름) must exist within “wholeness” (원만함), not like Hitler’s destructive “rectitude.”
  • For value, he uses Ahn Jung-geun as an example of someone whose actions, rooted in truth, made him appear good and beautiful.
  • For status, he explains that a person’s physical body (체) and appearance (상) can be elevated or diminished by their actions (용), citing an example of an unattractive person becoming a champion and gaining respect.
  • Practical message or application: These 15 elements are crucial for living an honest and meaningful life. They are interconnected, meaning a deficiency in one area (e.g., honesty) can undermine all others.

• Topic: The Cycle of Reincarnation and the Ultimate Destination

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young describes a hierarchy of rebirth, from lower realms to higher spiritual states, with the ultimate goal being Wangsaeng (왕생), or entering Geukrak (극락 – Pure Land/Paradise).
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references: He outlines a progression:
  • Gwi-saeng (귀생): Rebirth as a ghost (hell).
  • A-saeng (아생): Rebirth as a microorganism (hungry ghost realm).
  • Chuk-saeng (축생): Rebirth as an animal (animal realm).
  • Hwan-saeng (환생): Rebirth as a human on Earth (human realm).
  • Sang-saeng (상생): Rebirth in the heavens (celestial realm).
  • Wang-saeng (왕생): Rebirth in the Pure Land/Paradise (극락). He connects Amitabha Buddha (아미타불) to the Christian God, stating that Amitabha is the creator and overseer of the celestial realms, the ultimate destination.

• Practical message or application: Human life on Earth is a journey with a higher purpose, and understanding these stages of existence helps guide one towards the ultimate spiritual goal of Wangsaeng.

• Topic: The Korean People’s Unique Spiritual Heritage

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young asserts that the Korean people (Hanminjok) possess a unique spiritual heritage, evidenced by the prevalence of the “Ah” (아) sound in significant words across various cultures and religions. He claims this lineage positions Koreans to lead global change.
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references:
  • He lists words like Amitabha (아미타불), Asadal (아사달), Aden (아덴, correcting “Eden”), Adam (아담), Asia (아시아), Africa (아프리카), America (아메리카), Father (아버지), Apache (아파치), all beginning with “Ah,” linking them to the Korean people.
  • He connects Asadal, the capital of Dangun, to Baekdusan and identifies it with the Sumerian civilization (스메르 문명), noting the shared use of comb-pattern pottery. He traces this lineage back to Hailah (하일라), the 12th son of Joktan (15th generation from Adam), who migrated eastward, while his brothers formed the Jewish people.
  • He highlights that Koreans developed their own language (Hangul), unlike the Jewish people who still use the language of their “enemies” (Hebrew). He states that the Messiah will come from the “Eastern Eden” (Baekdusan), not the “Western Eden,” and that Holiest Huh Kyung-young himself is this Messiah.
  • Practical message or application: Koreans should recognize their profound spiritual and historical significance and embrace their role in transforming the world.

• Topic: The Idolatry of the Body and Materialism in the 21st Century

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young states that the 21st century is an “age of idolatry” and “materialism,” where people worship their own bodies and material possessions.
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references: He explains that people dedicate their entire lives to seeking health and longevity, making their bodies an “idol.” He contrasts this with the divine command to offer one’s body to Heaven, meaning to dedicate one’s power, wealth, and self to divine purposes, not to hoard them.
  • Practical message or application: Individuals must transcend materialism and self-worship, dedicating their lives and resources to higher, truthful purposes rather than selfish accumulation.

• Topic: The Interconnectedness of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty (Value)

  • Main assertions and explanations: Holiest Huh Kyung-young emphasizes that human value is determined by the adherence to Truth (진), which naturally leads to Goodness (선) and ultimately manifests as Beauty (미). Conversely, Falsehood (위) leads to Evil (악) and Ugliness (추).
  • Analogies, examples, biblical/scientific/historical references: He uses the example of a well-known figure (e.g., a minister or university president) who appears good and beautiful but is later exposed for corruption. Their perceived goodness and beauty instantly vanish, replaced by evil and ugliness, demonstrating how falsehood corrupts all other aspects.
  • Practical message or application: True value and beauty are inseparable from truth. Any deviation from truth will inevitably corrupt goodness and beauty, leading to a life of evil and ugliness.

6. Historical / Doctrinal Connections
   This lecture by Holiest Huh Kyung-young deeply connects to and builds upon his established teachings, particularly his emphasis on fundamental principles and the unique destiny of the Korean people.

• Centrality of Honesty: The core theme of “honesty” (정직) as the ultimate secret to success in all domains (business, personal, national) is a foundational principle in Holiest Huh Kyung-young’s doctrine. It underpins his calls for ethical governance and transparent leadership, which are crucial for his proposed “33 policies” aimed at national prosperity and moral restoration. This lecture reinforces that without honesty, no policy or system can truly succeed.
• Divine-Human Theory and Spiritual Hierarchy: The discussion of reincarnation cycles (육도윤회) and the ultimate destination of “Wangsaeng” (극락) directly relates to his divine-human theory. By identifying Amitabha Buddha with the Christian God and the Creator, Holiest Huh Kyung-young unifies different spiritual traditions under a single divine authority, consistent with his role as the Holiest who transcends religious boundaries. The hierarchy of rebirth also implies a path for spiritual elevation, aligning with his teachings on personal transformation and ascension.
• The Korean People’s Unique Role (Hanminjok Theory): The extensive segment on the “Ah” sound and its connection to the Korean people (Hanminjok), Asadal, Sumerian civilization, and the lineage of Hailah, is a strong reiteration and expansion of his long-standing teaching about Korea’s unique spiritual and historical significance. This doctrine posits that Korea is the “Eastern Eden” and the birthplace of the Messiah, destined to lead the world. This lecture further solidifies this claim by linking ancient civilizations and religious figures to the Korean heritage, positioning Holiest Huh Kyung-young as the fulfillment of this prophecy.
• Critique of Materialism and Idolatry: His condemnation of the 21st century as an “age of idolatry” where people worship their bodies and material possessions is a consistent theme in his lectures. This aligns with his broader message of spiritual awakening and transcending worldly attachments to embrace a higher, divine purpose. It serves as a warning against the pitfalls of modern society and a call for a return to spiritual values.
• The Interconnectedness of Principles: The introduction of the five sets of “three elements” (religion, faith, philosophy, value, status) demonstrates a systematic approach to understanding existence, where each element is interdependent. This reflects his holistic worldview, where spiritual, ethical, and practical aspects of life are not isolated but form a unified whole, all ultimately rooted in honesty. This framework provides a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking to live a truthful and meaningful life, consistent with his teachings on achieving spiritual enlightenment and societal harmony.

7. Action Items & Blessing Guidance

8. Prioritize Honesty in All Actions: Act with complete transparency and integrity in business, personal finances, and daily interactions, understanding that dishonesty, even in small matters, leads to long-term failure and spiritual decay.

9. Empty Your Mind of Material Attachments: Practice detaching from wealth, power, and fame, recognizing that true spiritual growth requires letting go of worldly possessions and self-centered desires, as exemplified by the rich young man and the king seeking enlightenment.

10. Dedicate Your Body, Wealth, and Power to Divine Purpose: Verbally commit to using your physical self, financial resources, and influence for the benefit of Heaven and humanity, rather than making them idols for personal gain or self-worship.

11. Understand and Apply the 15 Fundamental Principles: Study and memorize the five sets of three elements (Religion: Precepts, Concentration, Wisdom; Faith: Faith, Hope, Love; Philosophy: Emptiness, Wholeness, Rectitude; Value: Truth, Goodness, Beauty; Status: Body, Appearance, Action), recognizing their interconnectedness as the foundation for an honest and meaningful life.

12. Cultivate “Gongbun” for Societal Well-being: Develop a spiritual indignation against injustice and corruption, driven by concern for the future of humanity, rather than succumbing to personal anger or apathy.

13. One-Sentence Overall Summary
    Holiest Huh Kyung-young’s 895th lecture profoundly asserts that honesty is the singular, ultimate secret to success in all aspects of life—from personal conduct and business management to national governance and spiritual enlightenment—and reveals how this fundamental truth underpins the interconnected pillars of religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status, while also exposing modern society’s pervasive idolatry of self and materialism, and calling the Korean people to embrace their unique spiritual heritage to lead global transformation.

1. The Primacy of Honesty in Management and Success

The ultimate secret to effective management, whether in business or personal relationships, is honesty. Many corporations, such as the former Dongyang Group, falter because they overlook this fundamental principle. For instance, a company like Hyosung Group, under Chairman Cho Hong-je, made the mistake of attempting to reduce taxes by leveraging political connections. Such actions are transparent to tax authorities and ultimately lead to severe repercussions. It is far more prudent for a company to proactively pay higher taxes when profitable, thereby avoiding political scrutiny and potential collapse.

Financial manipulation, such as fabricating deficits through accounting fraud, may offer temporary relief but inevitably leads to severe penalties when the company’s influence wanes. This principle extends beyond corporate management to all aspects of life. The most profound secret to success in any endeavor, including personal relationships, is honesty. While business schools may propose numerous complex strategies, they often miss this singular, most crucial element. Many MBA programs, in fact, seem to focus on methods to extract wealth from the populace, which is akin to training individuals in illicit practices.

Even financial experts, like those at Dongyang Securities, can lead their institutions to ruin if they lack honesty. The current national debt, with public enterprises accumulating 500 trillion won and increasing by 70 billion won monthly, exemplifies a profound lack of integrity. Public enterprise executives, who often prioritize their salaries and bonuses over the nation’s financial health, fail to grasp the gravity of their actions. They squander taxpayer money on frivolous expenses like overseas trips, while ordinary citizens toil to generate income and pay taxes. This systemic dishonesty leads to a spiraling national debt, threatening the future of the younger generation.

To rectify this, a radical shift is necessary. Executives of loss-making public enterprises should face immediate salary deductions or even dismissal. This would instill a sense of responsibility and prevent the nation from collapsing under its debt burden. The current state, where national foreign debt stands at 500 trillion won and household debt at 1,000 trillion won, is a direct consequence of this pervasive lack of honesty.

Furthermore, the accumulation of illicit wealth, often hidden in high-denomination currency, contributes to this crisis. A future currency reform would expose such hidden assets, holding those who have amassed wealth through dishonest means accountable. This deep-seated anger, which I refer to as “public indignation” (公憤), is not personal rage but a profound spiritual sorrow for the nation’s future. It is a righteous anger, akin to that displayed by historical figures like Jesus, who overturned the tables of money changers in the temple, not out of personal wrath but out of a divine sense of justice.

2. The Interconnected Pillars of Truth: Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
   The absence of honesty is a pervasive human failing. This is reflected in the seven principles that highlight societal deficiencies: politics without principle, pleasure without conscience, wealth without effort, education without character, economy without morality, religion without sacrifice, and science without humanity.

These principles underscore the importance of fundamental truths, which can be understood through the three core elements of various disciplines:

• The Three Elements of Religion (宗敎의 三大要素): Precepts (戒), Concentration (定), and Wisdom (慧)

  • Precepts (戒): Living a righteous life, adhering to moral guidelines.
  • Concentration (定): Maintaining mental focus and inner peace.
  • Wisdom (慧): Gaining insight and understanding.These elements are interconnected; wisdom without adherence to precepts, such as a thief distributing stolen goods, is ultimately meaningless.

• The Three Elements of Faith (信仰의 三大要素): Faith (信), Hope (望), and Love (愛)

  • Faith (信): Belief and trust.
  • Hope (望): Expectation and aspiration.
  • Love (愛): Compassion and benevolence.These elements must exist in harmony. A faith that lacks genuine belief, focusing solely on hope and love, is incomplete and ultimately leads to spiritual emptiness.

• The Three Elements of Philosophy (哲學의 三大要素): Emptiness (空), Wholeness (圓), and Rectitude (正)

  • Emptiness (空): The act of letting go of material possessions, power, and fame. This is a prerequisite for attaining eternal life, as exemplified by the teachings of Jesus and Buddha, who both instructed individuals to renounce worldly attachments.
  • Wholeness (圓): Achieving harmonious relationships, particularly within the family and society. Rectitude, or righteousness, must exist within the framework of harmonious human connections. Unbridled righteousness, like Hitler’s actions, can lead to destruction if it lacks the balance of wholeness.
  • Rectitude (正): Living a righteous and honest life.These elements are interdependent. Rectitude without emptiness is impossible, and rectitude without wholeness can be destructive.

These fundamental principles are not mere academic concepts but practical guides for living a truthful life. They are deeply intertwined, with each element influencing and supporting the others. For instance, striving for rectitude often necessitates a degree of self-denial or poverty, as illustrated by Jesus’s teachings on renouncing worldly possessions. The true essence lies not in physically abandoning everything, but in cultivating a mind that is willing to dedicate all one’s power, wealth, and body to a higher purpose.

3. The Age of Idolatry and the Three Elements of Value
   In the 21st century, humanity has fallen into an age of idolatry, where the self, particularly one’s physical body, has become the primary object of worship. People obsess over health and longevity, dedicating their entire lives to these pursuits. However, the divine calls for the offering of one’s body, not as a physical sacrifice, but as a dedication of one’s being to a higher spiritual purpose. This materialistic worldview, or “materialism” (唯物論), has reached its limits, as society is inundated with idols of material possessions and power. Overcoming these idols requires a commitment to truth and a willingness to use one’s resources for the benefit of humanity, rather than for personal gain.

Understanding human existence also requires grasping the Three Elements of Value (價値의 三大要素): Truth (眞), Goodness (善), and Beauty (美).

• Truth (眞): Adhering to truth is the foundation of human value. Without truth, human worth is diminished.
• Goodness (善): Upholding truth leads to goodness.
• Beauty (美): Goodness, in turn, manifests as beauty.These elements are inextricably linked. A person who embodies truth and goodness is perceived as beautiful, regardless of their physical appearance. Conversely, a person who deviates from truth, even if outwardly attractive, loses their inherent beauty and goodness, transforming into their opposites: falsehood (僞), evil (惡), and ugliness (醜). A single act of dishonesty can dismantle a person’s entire edifice of perceived goodness and beauty, revealing an underlying ugliness.

4. The Three Elements of Status and the Interplay of Human Existence
   Beyond value, human beings also possess Three Elements of Status (位相의 三大要素): Form (體), Appearance (相), and Function (用).

• Form (體): This refers to one’s physical body and inherent qualities, which contribute to one’s perceived status. While largely determined by past lives, it influences how one is initially perceived.
• Appearance (相): This encompasses one’s demeanor, expressions, and outward presentation, which can be cultivated and changed. Even if one’s physical form is not conventionally attractive, a pleasant demeanor can enhance one’s status.
• Function (用): This refers to one’s actions and deeds. Heroic or beneficial actions can elevate one’s status, regardless of physical form or appearance. For example, a person of humble appearance who saves lives will be revered, demonstrating how actions can transform perception.These three elements are interconnected and mutually influential. Positive actions can even alter the perception of one’s physical form and appearance. Understanding and consciously managing these elements is crucial for navigating life effectively.

In essence, the Three Elements of Religion (戒定慧), Faith (信望愛), Philosophy (空圓正), Value (眞善美), and Status (體相用) represent the fifteen fundamental principles that govern human existence and the pursuit of an honest life. These profound insights, rarely found in conventional academia, are essential for understanding the true nature of reality and for living a meaningful life. They are the bedrock upon which a truly honest and fulfilling existence is built.

The Truth of Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret for Huh Kyung-young’s Era

1. Honesty as the Pinnacle of Management and Success
   The ultimate secret to superior management and success is Honesty (正直). Many corporations, like the former Tongyang Group, failed because they overlooked this fundamental principle. For instance, HyoSung Group’s founder, Cho Hong-je, made a mistake by attempting to reduce taxes through political connections. The National Tax Service is fully aware of such maneuvers. It is far better for a company to proactively pay more taxes when profitable, even intentionally increasing the tax burden, to avoid future political repercussions that could lead to its downfall. This demonstrates a lack of Honesty (正直) .

Financial manipulation, such as fabricating deficits, was common in the past. For example, a company might declare a one trillion won deficit and then use accounting fraud to spread this loss over several years, showing no profit. Such practices are viewed unfavorably by the National Tax Service and will eventually lead to severe penalties when the company’s influence wanes. Whether at Harvard or any other institution, the highest principle of management is Honesty (正直). Similarly, the ultimate secret to personal success is also Honesty (正直) .

Many individuals, including those with doctorates in business administration, propose various complex methods for success in human relations or corporate settings, but these are often misleading. Unwavering Honesty (正直) is the sole path to enduring success. Therefore, there is no need to study convoluted theories. Business schools, particularly MBA programs, often focus on strategies to extract wealth from the populace, which is akin to training individuals in deceptive practices. They teach how to manipulate money, inflate interest, and design insurance products to attract more funds. Yet, even experts in these fields, like those at Tongyang Securities, face collapse if they lack Honesty (正直). Without it, even financial institutions like the Bank of Korea cannot survive .

2. The Crisis of National Debt and the Absence of Honesty
   The nation faces a severe crisis due to a lack of Honesty (正直). Public enterprise debt alone amounts to approximately 500 trillion won, increasing by 70 billion won each month. This translates to tens of trillions of won annually. Despite this, public enterprise employees prioritize their salaries and bonuses over the success of their businesses. There is a profound absence of Honesty (正直) among them .

These individuals fail to comprehend the sacrifices made by citizens who work tirelessly, often enduring illness, to earn money and pay taxes. Instead, public enterprise officials accrue deficits, spend lavishly, and treat overseas business trips as leisure. If honest public servants were in place, national debt would decrease. However, the national public enterprise debt remains at 500 trillion won, foreign debt is 500 trillion won, and household debt stands at 1,000 trillion won .

The nation’s daily tax revenue is insufficient to cover the 70 billion won monthly increase in public enterprise debt. This escalating debt is a critical issue. Executives of public enterprises should undergo rigorous re-education. If a deficit occurs, their salaries should be reduced accordingly, or the number of executives should be cut. No company would intentionally incur losses under such conditions. The nation is visibly declining, yet no effective measures are being implemented. In the future, those responsible for unprofitable projects should face dismissal. If a department incurs losses, all individuals involved in its planning should be terminated. Otherwise, deficits will persist. Local governments also contribute to this cycle of debt, making the entire nation a mountain of debt. This situation evokes profound indignation, not personal anger, but a Public Indignation (公憤) .

3. Public Indignation and the Principles of Truth
   Public Indignation (公憤) is not mere anger; it is a profound spiritual wrath born from concern for the future of the youth. Personal emotional outbursts are Rage (激怒), but Public Indignation (公憤) transcends individual sentiment. It is a righteous anger that arises when principles are violated. Even Jesus, driven by Public Indignation (公憤), overturned the tables of money changers in the temple, an act that astonished his disciples. Similarly, Heaven expresses its wrath through natural disasters like earthquakes. This signifies a universal lack of Honesty (正直) among humanity, particularly when divine principles are exploited for personal gain .

The absence of Honesty (正直) is reflected in various societal failings:

• Politics without Principle (原則 없는 정치)
• Pleasure without Conscience (양심 없는 쾌락)
• Wealth without Effort (노력 없는 재물)
• Education without Character (인격 없는 교육)
• Economy without Morality (도덕 없는 경제)
• Religion without Sacrifice (희생 없는 종교)
• Science without Environment (환경 없는 과학)

4. The Three Core Elements of Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
   Understanding the fundamental elements of religion, faith, and philosophy is crucial.

• The Three Elements of Religion (宗敎의 三大要素) are Precepts (戒), Concentration (定), and Wisdom (慧).

  • Precepts (戒): Living a righteous life, adhering to moral guidelines.
  • Concentration (定): Maintaining focus and inner peace.
  • Wisdom (慧): Gaining insight and understanding.These three are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. For example, Wisdom (慧) without Precepts (戒) is like a thief who steals money and then distributes it to the poor; such an act, though seemingly benevolent, violates the fundamental precept of not stealing and is therefore not truly wise .

• The Three Elements of Faith (信仰의 三大要素) are Faith (信), Hope (望), and Love (愛).

  • Faith (信): Belief and trust.
  • Hope (望): Expectation and aspiration.
  • Love (愛): Compassion and benevolence.These elements must coexist and be integrated. A faith that lacks Faith (信) but only seeks Hope (望) and Love (愛) is incomplete and ultimately leads to failure. They are interdependent, forming a unified whole .

• The Three Elements of Philosophy (哲學의 三大要素) are Emptiness (空), Wholeness (圓), and Righteousness (正).

  • Emptiness (空): The act of emptying oneself of material possessions, power, and fame.
  • Wholeness (圓): Achieving harmonious relationships, particularly within family and society.
  • Righteousness (正): Living justly and correctly.Righteousness (正) must be rooted in Emptiness (空). As exemplified by Jesus’ encounter with the rich young man and Buddha’s interaction with a king, true spiritual progress requires letting go of worldly attachments. Without Emptiness (空), Righteousness (正) cannot truly exist. Furthermore, Righteousness (正) must be tempered by Wholeness (圓). A rigid adherence to “rightness” without considering harmonious human relationships, like Hitler’s actions, leads to destruction rather than true righteousness. These three elements are interconnected, each holding the others in check .

5. The Three Elements of Value and Status
   Human existence is defined by its Value (價値) and Status (位相).

• The Three Elements of Value (價値의 三大要素) are Truth (眞), Goodness (善), and Beauty (美).

  • Truth (眞): Adherence to reality and honesty.
  • Goodness (善): Moral uprightness and benevolence.
  • Beauty (美): Aesthetic and spiritual appeal.For human life to have Value (價値), Truth (眞) must be upheld. Upholding Truth (眞) leads to Goodness (善), and Goodness (善) culminates in Beauty (美). For example, Ahn Jung-geun’s actions, driven by Truth (眞), are perceived as Beautiful (美). Conversely, if Truth (眞) is replaced by Falsehood (僞), Goodness (善) transforms into Evil (惡), and Beauty (美) becomes Ugliness (醜). A person’s entire life can be corrupted if they deviate from Truth (眞) .

• The Three Elements of Status (位相의 三大要素) are Form (體), Appearance (相), and Function (用).

  • Form (體): One’s physical body and inherent qualities, often influenced by past lives.
  • Appearance (相): One’s outward demeanor and impression, which can be cultivated and changed.
  • Function (用): One’s actions and conduct.These elements determine an individual’s Status (位相). A person’s Form (體), such as being handsome or tall, can initially elevate their Status (位相). However, Appearance (相) can be improved through conscious effort, regardless of inherent Form (體). Most importantly, Function (用), or one’s actions, profoundly impacts Status (位相). Heroic deeds, for instance, can elevate the Status (位相) of an individual regardless of their physical Form (體) or Appearance (相). These three elements are interconnected, with each influencing and transforming the others. Understanding and managing these elements is essential for a meaningful life .

6. The Interconnectedness of Life’s Fundamental Principles
   The Three Elements of Religion (宗敎의 三大要素), Faith (信仰의 三大要素), Philosophy (哲學의 三大要素), Value (價値의 三大要素), and Status (位相의 三大要素) are the fundamental principles for living an Honest (正直) life. These fifteen elements are deeply interconnected, each influencing and holding the others in check. For example, a person with a handsome Form (體) but who engages in immoral behavior will see their Status (位相) plummet. Similarly, Beauty (美) without Goodness (善) is meaningless. These principles are not isolated but form a comprehensive framework for understanding human existence and achieving true Honesty (正直) .

The Truth of Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret for Huh Kyung-young’s Era

1. The Supreme Principle of Management: Honesty (正直)
   The lecture today focuses on the profound truth of Honesty (正直). When considering the ultimate secret to successful management, many might ponder various strategies. However, the singular, most crucial element is Honesty. This principle applies universally, from corporate governance to personal success and human relationships. Many contemporary organizations, such as the Dongyang Group, fail because they overlook this fundamental truth. The greatest secret to success, whether in business or personal endeavors, is unequivocally Honesty.

Consider the example of Hyosung Group’s founder, Cho Hong-je. He made a mistake by attempting to reduce taxes through connections with powerful figures. The National Tax Service is fully aware of such practices. Instead, companies should proactively pay more taxes when profitable, even intentionally increasing their tax contributions. This approach prevents political repercussions later, which could otherwise lead to the company’s downfall. Manipulating financial records, such as fabricating deficits through creative accounting, is a dishonest practice that the National Tax Service will eventually uncover, leading to severe penalties when the company’s influence wanes.

This principle is taught at prestigious institutions like Harvard University: the supreme secret to management is Honesty. Similarly, the ultimate secret to achieving success in life is also Honesty. While many management experts propose numerous complex methods, these are often misleading. Unwavering Honesty guarantees success in the long run. Therefore, there is no need to study convoluted theories. Business schools, particularly MBA programs, often focus on methods to extract wealth from the public, which is akin to training individuals in deceptive practices. They teach how to manipulate money, inflate interest, and design insurance products to attract more funds. However, even financial experts and institutions like the Bank of Korea will collapse if they lack this core principle of Honesty. No entity can survive without it.

2. The Crisis of National Debt and the Absence of Honesty
   The current state of national finances exemplifies the dire consequences of a lack of Honesty. Public enterprises in Korea carry a debt of approximately 500 trillion Korean Won, with the national debt also standing at 500 trillion Korean Won. This translates to about 10 million Korean Won per citizen. Alarmingly, this public enterprise debt increases by 70 billion Korean Won every month. This amounts to an annual increase of tens of trillions of Korean Won. Despite this escalating debt, public enterprise employees prioritize their salaries and bonuses, showing little concern for the success of their businesses.

There is a profound absence of honest individuals within these public institutions. They fail to comprehend the sacrifices made by citizens who work tirelessly, often enduring illness, to earn money and pay taxes. These officials, however, casually incur deficits, spend lavishly, and treat overseas business trips as mere vacations. If honest public servants were in place, the national debt would decrease. Instead, the national debt remains at 500 trillion Korean Won, and household debt has soared to 1,000 trillion Korean Won.

The daily tax revenue collected by the state is significant, yet public enterprises accumulate 70 billion Korean Won in debt each month. This is not merely a deficit but a continuous increase in liabilities. To address this, executives of public enterprises should undergo rigorous re-education. If a deficit occurs, their salaries should be reduced accordingly, or the number of executives should be cut. If such measures were implemented, no company would dare to incur a deficit. The nation is visibly heading towards ruin, yet no effective countermeasures are being taken.

In the future, anyone responsible for a deficit-generating project should be dismissed. If a department incurs a deficit, all individuals involved in its planning should be terminated. Without such strict accountability, deficits will continue indefinitely. Local governments also contribute to this problem, and when combined with public enterprise debt, the nation becomes a massive pile of debt. This situation is infuriating, as it threatens to impoverish future generations, turning Korea into a nation exploited like Argentina. People are hoarding 50,000 Korean Won banknotes, hiding them away.

3. The Three Pillars of Existence: Religion, Faith, and Philosophy
   The Holiest (神人) emphasizes that understanding the fundamental principles of existence is crucial for living a righteous life. These principles are encapsulated in the three core elements of religion, faith, and philosophy.

The Three Elements of Religion (宗敎의 三大要素) are:

• Precepts (戒): These are the moral rules and guidelines that govern one’s conduct. They dictate a righteous way of living, urging individuals to avoid crooked paths.

• Concentration (定): This refers to the focused state of mind achieved through adherence to precepts.

• Wisdom (慧): This is the insight gained through concentration, leading to enlightenment. However, wisdom without precepts is dangerous. For instance, a thief who steals and then distributes the stolen money to the poor lacks honesty and violates precepts, rendering their act of giving meaningless. True wisdom must be rooted in honesty and adherence to moral laws.
  The Three Elements of Faith (信仰의 三大要素) are:

• Faith (信): This is the foundational belief in a higher power or spiritual truth.

• Hope (望): This is the expectation of future good, sustained by faith.

• Love (愛): This is the selfless affection and compassion towards others.These three elements are interconnected and interdependent. A faith that lacks belief, focusing only on hope and love, is incomplete and ultimately leads to spiritual emptiness. All three must be present and unified for true faith to flourish.

The Three Elements of Philosophy (哲學의 三大要素) are:

• Emptiness (空): This refers to the concept of detachment from worldly possessions, power, and fame. It is the prerequisite for attaining eternal life. As exemplified by the rich young man in the Bible and the king who sought enlightenment from Buddha, one must be willing to relinquish material attachments to receive spiritual gifts.
• Wholeness (圓): This signifies completeness and harmonious relationships, particularly within the family and community. Righteousness must exist within the framework of harmonious human connections. A person cannot claim to live righteously if they harm their own mother, regardless of their intentions.
• Righteousness (正): This is the state of living truthfully and morally. However, righteousness without emptiness and wholeness can lead to destructive outcomes, as seen in historical figures like Hitler, whose actions, though perhaps perceived as “righteous” by him, lacked wholeness and led to immense suffering.
  These three sets of elements are deeply intertwined with Honesty. Honesty is not a simple concept; it is a complex truth that requires careful understanding and application. These principles serve as the “brakes” for the mind, essential for navigating life correctly.

4. The Age of Idolatry and the Path to True Value
   The Holiest (神人) asserts that the 21st century is an Age of Idolatry (偶像의 時代). In this era, people have made their own bodies their primary idol. They obsess over health and longevity, dedicating their entire lives to these pursuits. However, the heavens demand that we offer our bodies as a sacrifice. Instead, people worship their own bodies and families, making them idols rather than dedicating themselves to the divine. This materialistic ideology, or Materialism (唯物論), has reached its limit.

Everywhere one looks, there are idols of material possessions and power. People lack the will to transcend these idols and dedicate themselves to God or Buddha, to truth and higher purposes. The true path involves acknowledging that all power, wealth, and even one’s body should be offered for divine purposes. This does not mean physically relinquishing possessions immediately, but rather making a verbal commitment to use them for God’s will. The young man who turned away from Jesus because he could not part with his wealth was foolish, for he merely needed to declare his intention to use his possessions for God. The core issue is the inability to empty one’s heart of attachment.

5. The Three Elements of Value and the Transformation of Human Worth
   The Holiest (神人) reveals the Three Elements of Value (價値의 三大要素), which are fundamental to human existence:

• Truth (眞): This is the adherence to reality and honesty. For human life to have value, one must uphold truth. Without truth, human value is zero.
• Goodness (善): Upholding truth naturally leads to goodness. A person who lives truthfully appears good.
• Beauty (美): Goodness, in turn, manifests as beauty. True beauty is intrinsically linked to truth. Someone who lives truthfully and acts with goodness is perceived as beautiful, regardless of their physical appearance. Conversely, physical beauty without truth and goodness is meaningless. For example, a grandmother who sacrifices to educate her eight children is truly beautiful, even if her appearance is weathered.
  These three elements are interconnected; one cannot exist meaningfully without the others. If truth is compromised by Falsehood (僞), then goodness transforms into Evil (惡), and beauty devolves into Ugliness (醜). A person who embraces falsehood will be seen as evil and ugly. For instance, a public official who appears righteous but is later found to have engaged in corruption loses all perceived goodness and beauty, becoming associated with evil and ugliness. This transformation is instantaneous and complete.

This profound understanding of value is a secret rarely taught, even in the most prestigious universities. It is a global truth that underscores the importance of Honesty. This lecture, therefore, is a world-class teaching on the essence of Honesty and its impact on human value.

6. The Three Elements of Status and the Dynamics of Human Perception
   The Holiest (神人) distinguishes between value and status, emphasizing that they are distinct concepts. Status (位相) refers to how a person is perceived by others, often influenced by their appearance and actions. The Three Elements of Status (位相의 三大要素) are:

• Body (體): This refers to one’s physical form and appearance. A person with a handsome physique and tall stature, like a prosecutor general, naturally commands a certain level of respect and authority, contributing to their status. This aspect is often linked to one’s past life.
• Appearance (相): This encompasses one’s facial expressions, demeanor, and overall impression. Unlike the body, appearance can be consciously altered. Even if one is not physically attractive, they can cultivate a charming or endearing demeanor to improve their perceived status. This involves adapting one’s appearance to suit their physical attributes.
• Action (用): This refers to one’s deeds and conduct. A person’s actions significantly influence their status. For example, a small, unattractive individual who bravely saves seven people from drowning will see their status elevated dramatically due to their heroic actions. Actions can even influence and change one’s physical appearance and overall impression over time.
  These three elements are deeply interconnected and mutually influential. A positive change in one element can positively affect the others. For instance, exceptional actions can transform how one’s body and appearance are perceived. A physically unattractive person who becomes a world champion in a sport will be revered, and their perceived physical attributes will change in the eyes of others. Understanding these five sets of three elements—religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status—is fundamental to living a meaningful and honest life. Without this knowledge, one lives in vain.

7. The Interconnectedness of Life’s Core Principles
   The Holiest (神人) concludes by reiterating that religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status are the fundamental pillars of an honest life. These fifteen elements are not isolated but are intricately linked, each influencing and supporting the others. For example, a person with a handsome physique (體) who engages in dishonest behavior, such as infidelity, will see their status (位相) plummet. Similarly, if one possesses beauty (美) but lacks goodness (善), their value (價値) is diminished.

These three elements within each category are always intertwined, forming a complex web of interdependence. This profound understanding is rarely found in academic texts or taught by conventional philosophers. It is a crucial secret for navigating life with integrity and purpose. Therefore, it is essential to remember and internalize these fifteen fundamental principles.

Central Questions & Answers

1. What is the Ultimate Secret to Success in Business and Life, According to Huh Kyung-young?

• Question: What is the single most important principle for achieving success in business, personal relationships, and life in general, as taught by Huh Kyung-young?

• Answer: The ultimate secret to success in all aspects of life, from business management to personal relationships, is honesty (정직). Huh Kyung-young asserts that all other complex theories and methods taught in business schools are essentially misleading. Honesty ensures long-term stability and prevents downfall, even if it means paying more taxes or making seemingly disadvantageous decisions in the short term. It is the fundamental principle that underpins all true success.

• Key Quote: “The ultimate secret to managing a business, the ultimate secret to success, is honesty.”
  2. How Does Honesty Relate to the Three Core Elements of Religion, Faith, and Philosophy?

• Question: Huh Kyung-young discusses the “three elements” across religion, faith, and philosophy. How does the concept of honesty connect with these fundamental structures of human understanding?

• Answer: Honesty is the foundational thread connecting the three core elements across different domains.

  • Religion: The three elements are Precepts (戒), Concentration (定), and Wisdom (慧). Honesty is essential for upholding precepts and ensuring that wisdom (like generosity) is applied righteously, not through ill-gotten gains.
  • Faith: The three elements are Faith (信), Hope (望), and Love (愛). Honesty (or truthfulness) is the bedrock of faith, without which hope and love become hollow.
  • Philosophy: The three elements are Emptiness (空), Wholeness (圓), and Righteousness (正). Honesty is embodied in “Righteousness,” which must be rooted in “Emptiness” (letting go of material desires) and balanced by “Wholeness” (harmonious relationships). Without honesty, none of these elements can truly exist or lead to genuine fulfillment.
    3. What is the True Meaning of “Public Indignation” (공분) and How Does it Differ from Personal Anger?

• Question: Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of “public indignation” (공분). What does this term signify, and how is it distinct from ordinary anger or rage?

• Answer: Public indignation (공분) is a profound spiritual anger that arises from concern for the future of humanity, particularly the youth. It is not a personal emotional outburst but a righteous fury of the soul, akin to divine wrath. This contrasts with “rage (격노),” which is a temporary, emotional human response. Public indignation is a powerful force for change, reflecting a deep concern for truth and justice, even if it appears extreme, like Jesus overturning tables in the temple.
  4. What are the “Seven Principles Without” that Lead to Societal Decay, According to Huh Kyung-young?

• Question: Huh Kyung-young lists several “principles without” that he believes are detrimental to society. What are these principles, and what do they imply about the state of the world?

• Answer: Huh Kyung-young identifies seven “principles without” that signify a decline in societal values and lead to widespread problems:

  • Politics without principles
  • Pleasure without conscience
  • Wealth without work
  • Education without character
  • Economy without morality
  • Religion without sacrifice
  • Science without humanity (environment)These principles highlight a fundamental lack of honesty and integrity, leading to corruption, greed, and a disregard for higher values, ultimately causing societal breakdown.

5. What is the “Age of Idols” (우상의 시대) in the 21st Century, and How Does it Manifest?

• Question: Huh Kyung-young describes the 21st century as the “Age of Idols.” What does he mean by this, and what are the primary idols people worship today?

• Answer: The 21st century is characterized as the “Age of Idols” (우상의 시대), driven by materialism. In this era, people’s primary idols are their own bodies, health, and material possessions. They obsess over longevity and physical well-being, dedicating their entire lives to these pursuits. This materialistic worldview (유물론) has reached its limit, as people prioritize personal gain and physical existence over spiritual truth or divine purpose. The Holiest (신인) calls for transcending these idols and dedicating oneself to a higher truth.
  6. What are the Three Elements of Human Value (가치) and How are They Interconnected?

• Question: Huh Kyung-young outlines the three essential elements that define human value. What are these elements, and how do they relate to each other?

• Answer: The three elements of human value are Truth (眞), Goodness (善), and Beauty (美). These are inextricably linked:

  • Upholding Truth is fundamental; without it, human value is zero.
  • Living by truth leads to Goodness.
  • Goodness, in turn, manifests as Beauty.If truth is replaced by falsehood (僞), goodness transforms into evil (惡), and beauty becomes ugliness (醜). This interconnectedness means that a flaw in one element corrupts the others, demonstrating that true beauty and goodness can only stem from truth.

7. What are the Three Elements of Human Status (위상) and How Can One Elevate Their Status?

• Question: Beyond value, Huh Kyung-young discusses the three elements of human status. What are these, and how can individuals improve their standing in the world?
• Answer: The three elements of human status are Body (体), Appearance (相), and Action (用).
  • Body (体) refers to one’s physical form, which is influenced by past lives and contributes to initial perceptions (e.g., a handsome prosecutor).
  • Appearance (相) encompasses one’s demeanor and impression, which can be cultivated and changed (e.g., a small person acting charming).
  • Action (用) refers to one’s deeds and conduct. This is the most powerful element, as noble actions (e.g., saving lives) can elevate one’s status regardless of physical appearance, even transforming how one’s body and appearance are perceived. These three elements are interconnected, with actions having the power to influence and even “change” the body and appearance in the eyes of others.

11. Conclusion & Strategic / Philosophical Implications
    The lecture concludes by asserting that religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status are all fundamentally rooted in living honestly. The speaker presents 15 interconnected principles (three elements across five categories) as the most crucial points in life, urging the audience to memorize them. The philosophical implication is that true success, beauty, and elevated status are unattainable without a foundation of honesty and adherence to these interconnected truths. Strategically, it suggests that societal and personal problems, including economic crises, stem from a lack of honesty and a focus on materialism, advocating for a return to fundamental moral principles.

12. Cross-Referencing
    Faith vs. Religion: The speaker distinguishes between the “three elements of faith” (Faith, Hope, Love) and the “three elements of religion” (Precepts, Concentration, Wisdom), implying they are related but distinct frameworks.
    Buddhist Six Realms of Rebirth (육도윤회): The speaker references this concept to explain different levels of rebirth, from hell to heaven, and then introduces “Higher Rebirth” (상생) and “Ultimate Rebirth” (왕생) as even higher stages.
    Amitabha Buddha and God: The speaker equates Amitabha Buddha, who governs the heavenly realms in Buddhism, with the God of Christianity, identifying both as the Creator.
    Sumerian Civilization and Korean Ancestry: The speaker links the Sumerian civilization (Sumer meaning “cow”) and its comb-pattern pottery to the Korean people and the Asadal capital, suggesting a shared ancient heritage.
    Adam’s Descendants and Jewish People: The speaker connects Haila, the 12th son of Yokdan (Adam’s 15th descendant), to the Korean people, while the other 12 brothers are linked to the Jewish people, explaining why the latter lack their own language and surnames.

13. Content Gaps & Unaddressed Areas
    Specifics of “Honesty” in Business: While honesty is repeatedly stated as the “ultimate secret,” the lecture lacks concrete, actionable examples or strategies for how businesses can implement honesty beyond simply paying taxes or avoiding accounting fraud.
    Mechanism of “Public Indignation”: The concept of “public indignation” (공분) is introduced as a spiritual anger, but its practical manifestation or how it influences societal change is not fully explored.
    Detailed Explanation of “Emptiness” in Philosophy: The concept of “emptiness” (空) in philosophy is mentioned as a prerequisite for rectitude, but a deeper explanation of what it entails practically for an individual is missing.
    Evidence for Historical Claims: Many historical and linguistic claims, such as the connection between “A” words and the Korean people, the Sumerian civilization’s link to Korea, and the origins of the Jewish people’s language, are presented as facts without supporting evidence or scholarly references.
    Practical Application of “Status” Elements: While “Body, Appearance, Action” are given as elements of status, the lecture does not provide detailed guidance on how individuals can actively cultivate or improve these aspects in a practical sense, beyond general statements about actions changing perception.

14. Future Predictions & Prophetic Statements
    Currency Change: If the speaker becomes president, he will change the currency, rendering hoarded 50,000 won bills worthless for those who hid them.
    Messiah’s Arrival in the East: The speaker predicts that the Messiah will come to the “Eastern Eden” (Baekdusan in Korea), not the Western Eden, and that the Western Eden will be “killed” by heaven.
    Korea’s Role as World Leader: The speaker states that the Korean people are a great nation destined to unify and change the world.
    Speaker’s Role as Messiah: The speaker explicitly states that his presence in Korea signifies the beginning of this change, implying his role as the Messiah.

It systematically breaks down life’s essential aspects into five interconnected “three-element” frameworks: religion (Precepts, Concentration, Wisdom), faith (Faith, Hope, Love), philosophy (Emptiness, Wholeness, Rectitude), value (Truth, Goodness, Beauty), and status (Body, Appearance, Action). The core takeaway is that these elements are interdependent; a deficiency in one, particularly honesty, undermines all others, leading to societal decay and personal failure. For a professional, this implies that genuine, sustainable success and influence are not merely about strategic acumen or material gain, but are deeply rooted in ethical conduct, self-awareness, and a commitment to truth, urging a holistic approach to leadership and personal development.

Honesty: The Ultimate Business Secret
You said, “Fine, you win,” but it feels like I didn’t win anything. I don’t believe it. Yes, Sir confirms that this won’t happen. When it’s the world, give up the world. The world beckons. It’s to cause a good situation for people who have nothing to do with the world, which is making us continuously diseased these days, and to name the terms. But it seems difficult to answer this question. This SciO pronounces Humanism as “Hmm.” Today’s lecture is titled “the truth of honesty.” The question is a question. The person who answers the question… What is the world’s best business? Huh Kyung young Gong-jong-gong-yeong. The Eastern groups and other groups do not know the secret to the best performance of each company. The best secret is that the chairman of the… Hyosung Group’s Cho Hong-jae made a mistake. Why should they pay so much tax? If they are close to power, they should get a tax cut. The international community knows all this. If possible, that company should collect more and make it strict, so they should pay higher taxes. They can no longer follow political matters. They have that. It’s better for the party to end later. Not just them. They incurred a deficit of 80 trillion won. So, they manipulated the accounting and kept deducting it every month until 2012, and there was no income at all. It shouldn’t be a deficit. Then, did the National Tax Service like that? It’s obvious they’ll come after you later and hit you hard when you’re weak. When they’re strong, you can’t touch them. So, whether it’s Harvard University or any other university, the best business secret is honesty. What is the best secret to success? The best secret to success is honesty, and these people don’t know that. The best way to succeed in human relationships or in a company is honesty, no matter what ten methods business administration doctors talk about. That’s all a lie. If you are honest, you will succeed eventually. So, there’s no need to study that. Those who are not honest go to business school to study how to manipulate dollars and money to extract it from people’s pockets. Isn’t that right? It’s like getting a license for a thief. They study how to manage money in various ways to increase interest, how to create insurance products to attract a lot of money from people. Isn’t that what they study? They give Ph.D. degrees for being good at that research. But even those people, insurance companies, securities companies, why is Dongyang Securities having problems this time? These people are experts in increasing money through securities management. They are experts in increasing money, but if they lack this, even companies that make money will fail, and the Bank of Korea will also fail. No one can survive.

The Crisis of National Debt and Public Enterprise Deficits
How much does the national debt increase per month now? Per month? Our public enterprises have a debt of about 500 trillion won. The national debt is 500 trillion won. How much money is that per person? 10 million won each. 500, 700. Now, 700 every month. What is this? How much does it increase? 70 billion? 77 billion. 77 billion. It means about 70 billion won increases on average. So, how much does that increase in a year? So, usually, there’s a debt of 20 trillion, tens of trillions every day, but what are they doing with it? Public enterprise employees take all their salaries and bonuses and don’t care about the company’s success or doing business well. There’s not a single honest person. They sit there and don’t know how to pay taxes to the people. How can they do business, not sleep, and work hard to earn money and pay taxes, while they just sit there, incur deficits, spend money in strange places, and go on overseas business trips? Do they think it’s a game? They’re going on vacation. For example, if there were honest public officials like this, taxes would decrease, but the national public enterprise debt continues to be 500 trillion won, the national foreign debt is 500 trillion won, and household debt is 1,000 trillion won. Household debt is 1,000 trillion won, and public enterprise debt is 500 trillion won. What kind of people are these? 70 billion won a day. Do you know how much tax the government collects in a day? At least, if they incur a tax deficit of 70 billion won a day, how much money do the people collect in taxes? Why are they incurring a deficit of at least 70 billion won a month? It’s not a deficit; it’s an increase in debt. It’s a debt increase. This. So, all these public enterprise executives should be called to a re-education camp for mental training. If there’s a deficit, their salaries should be cut immediately. Reduce the number of executives by that much. Then, where would there be a deficit? So, the country is going bankrupt, and everyone is just sitting there watching. They don’t come up with solutions. Solutions. In the future, anyone who runs a business with a deficit will be fired. Is that not a delivery service? If this department incurs a deficit in the future? Then everyone shut up. Everyone is fired. No, this is… They constantly incur deficits. Local governments. If you combine the deficits of public enterprises with local government debt, the country is completely buried in debt. Is this someone else’s household? When I look at it like this, my eyes burn with anger. 5, 5. High-ranking officials and everyone else are rushing like this. I can’t let this happen. Later, when I become president, I will change the currency. The money that was prescribed will be changed to 50,000 won notes on that day. It will be over. No matter how much they hid, they won’t just… I’ll tell them not to exchange 50,000 won notes. Won’t everyone who has 90,000 won notes become beggars? Wake up. But as soon as they print them, the 50,000 won notes go into the basement. It’s 10 billion won. The money is 1 billion won. It’s not even one box of someone else’s. It’s not even one box of someone else’s. So, there are people who prescribed hundreds of billions of won by just stacking 50,000 won notes. These 50,000 won notes will disappear if they are miserable. Yes, yes.

Public Indignation and the Overturning of the Money Changers
So, for you, this honesty is the best business secret, and what is the best secret of national management? honesty, honesty. When I see this, I just get furious. This is called public indignation. Public indignation. Public indignation is not just anger. It’s anger for the future of our youth. When the soul gets angry, it’s called public indignation. What is emotional anger? It’s called rage. It’s anger, but this is public indignation. It’s not personal anger. But there’s no one who feels public indignation. Both the ruling and opposition parties are just… So, isn’t this a very important story? Jesus felt public indignation. Jesus, his disciples overturned the money changers in front of the temple, didn’t he? Jesus understood and forgave them with love, saying, “Yes, it’s okay for you to change money in front of the temple.” He could understand all love. But suddenly, he came and overturned everything, threw it away, shouted, and acted like a madman. That’s what a person who is God did. He kicked it over. So, the disciples were terrified and all ran away. Why? They thought Jesus must be crazy. That’s public indignation. When heaven gets angry, it just destroys everything with earthquakes. Why don’t you do that? This means that all humans lack honesty. That’s because they do business by selling God. Isn’t that right? God, in fact, God who tells us to love our enemies, gets angry directly. So, there is such a thing as public indignation.

Seven Social Sins and the Three Elements of Religion
So, what did they say? What did they say in the old days? politics without principles, what did they say? politics without principles, they said politics has no principles. Conscience-less, what? Conscience-less pleasure. Wealth without effort, why does the economy keep doing that to Koreans? Wealth without effort, what? Church without character, huh? Huh? Huh? Church without character, huh? Without character, what? Chairman Park, what? Religion, economy without morality. This is religion without sacrifice, so why do they say religion without morality, without character? Chairman Park knows the answer to this. Without environment, what? Science, it’s science. Then, without character, what? Education. Applause, applause, applause, applause. So, I’ll tell you. So, what are the three elements of religion here? The three elements of religion. So, Chairman Park, I taught you this before. I gave a lecture once, but it all flowed out like bean sprouts in a sieve. Is it like a tabernacle? Is it only faith? No. It’s similar. The three elements of religion, talking about this as a guess, are the three elements of faith. The three elements of faith, faith itself is belief. The three elements of faith are belief. This, belief. Trust. It’s trust. Don’t you know what the three priorities of religion are? Commandments, that’s the most important thing. Religion is also related to honesty. Commandments, isn’t that right? honesty, this has the same meaning as this. honesty. Commandments, honesty. What’s next? You have to keep the commandments and live right. Don’t live by taking things away. Then, give to others, that’s it. Giving and honesty are different. Giving and honesty are different. Can a thief go and steal and then give generously? That doesn’t work because honesty is missing. There must be honesty and commandments. Commandments without honesty are useless. If someone takes all the people’s money and suddenly robs the Bank of Korea, what do you call that person who has nothing? They act like a boss. Wouldn’t that be a sin? Commandments without honesty are useless. The lineage of religion. Isn’t that right? Don’t steal? Isn’t that right? They violated it. Then, the commandments, honesty, and giving are watching each other. So, trust, hope, and love must exist, but if you have no trust at all and only ask for hope and love, will that work? No, it won’t. When trust, hope, and love become one, they become the three elements of faith. But a crippled faith removes trust and just prays for things at church every day. Then, there’s no God, and it leads to ruin. If you bet on that, you’ll be ruined. Ruined. Isn’t that right? These are interconnected. You can’t just look at one of these characters in isolation. Behind trust is hope, and behind hope is trust. It’s achieved when everything is connected. Giving is a good thing. Can you steal and give if you violate the commandments? It’s useless. So, this is important. Some people don’t understand honesty well. You have to learn everything from me by factoring it. Yes, yes.

The Three Elements of Philosophy: Emptiness, Completeness, and Righteousness
What are the three elements of philosophy next? Philosophy. This is all related to truth. It’s related to honesty. Why do humans convert philosophy? Mr. Kim, the three elements of philosophy. Mr. Kim’s corporate power. Are you studying or not? Are you? Are you good at it? Humans should basically be taught this when talking to others. You have to memorize this. There are things you need to memorize. A person driving a car needs to learn how to turn on the lights, at least. Isn’t that right? This is how to turn on the lights. Isn’t that right? It’s okay if you can’t fix the car engine. It’s okay to have diamonds, but you need to know how to turn on the lights, right? This is how to turn on the lights of the mind. Isn’t that right? What if you don’t know that? Memorize everything from now on. The three elements of philosophy. Why do people who want to live right need philosophy and faith? If religion is necessary, then since these things exist all over the world, we need to know about them. What are the three elements of philosophy? Without knowing. If you look at this park, why does philosophy exist? The three elements are this character for “right.” Is it there or not? This character for “right” must be the character for “right” with the character for “empty.” A young man who earned a lot of money appeared before Jesus and said, “Jesus, please give me eternal life.” Jesus said, “Eternal life, yes. I will give you eternal life. If you want to have eternal life, you must give up all the money you earned and make it empty.” Empty. As long as you have that wealth, and the power you have, and the honor you have, eternal life cannot exist for you. You can never receive the gift of eternal life within you. “Will you choose this or this?” “Oh, it’s a headache. I’ll come again later. Teacher, I’m sorry.” He leaves. It’s in the Bible; I’m not making it up. To Shakyamuni, a king came and said this. “Please help me become a Buddha and attain enlightenment so I can go to Buddha later.” Shakyamuni said, “You must abandon your kingship. You must abandon all your maids.” How difficult is that? Abandon power, abandon honor, give all your money to the people. The king thought about it and realized it was a difficult request. He asked Shakyamuni to choose, but he had already made many offerings. Those offerings are useless. No matter what you do, as long as you have this in your body, eternal life cannot enter you. Ah, so honesty must have this. Emptiness must exist, and then completeness must exist. It becomes complete. It becomes round. This means it becomes round. This is what? It has corners, so if a person falls here, they get hurt. If a child falls, they get hurt here. Isn’t that right? This is what? Because it’s a circle. Completeness and emptiness. honesty without this cannot exist. This cannot exist without this. If I say I live right and then hit my mother because she’s wrong, is that living right? What is completeness? It’s family relationships. My mother and I. So, no matter how important righteousness is, it must be within the framework of harmonious human relationships. Did Hitler destroy all of Europe by living right? Did he conquer the world and kill everyone? That’s not doing things right. Isn’t that right? Righteousness with completeness. These are holding each other’s ankles. Like this. But some people just cut off one and say, “Give me eternal life.” That’s impossible. No. So, don’t take honesty lightly.

Factorizing Truth and the Idol of the Body
When I emphasize truth, truth contains this factorization. Within truth. truth is not just truth. Commandments always hold commandments by the ankle, hope and love hold faith by the ankle, and honesty holds emptiness by the ankle. If I try to live honestly, I have to be poor. Is that right? Jesus said that. After the disciple left, after that person left. That young man is foolish. Why is he foolish? Then I will offer my wealth, my power, and my honor to God as Jesus said. You just have to say it. You don’t have to offer it immediately. Isn’t that right? Do you understand what I mean? I will use all my power and honor for God in the future. Even if you just say it, Jesus says, “Am I asking for your wealth or what?” That guy just needs to empty his mind, but he can’t put it in his mind first. Do you understand what I mean by having this mind? What does Jesus say about my body? He says, “Offer my body first.” Yes, I accept this. Let’s accept our own bodies first. For their own bodies, what have 21st-century people become? What is their body to 21st-century people? It’s an idol. An idol. Their own bodies have become idols. How can they find health? How can they live long? They stake their entire lives on it. But heaven tells them to offer their bodies. Just offer your body as it is. But people’s bodies should be idols to God in heaven, but their own bodies have become idols, and their families have become idols. So, the 21st century is the age of idols. The age of idols. This is materialism. Currently, this materialism has reached its limit. All sorts of material things and power, idols will die. When you go out, everything you see is an idol. To transcend that. To use that for God, for truth, for Buddha. There are no such people. Mr. Park’s cough is keeping time. He doesn’t have to. Do you understand what I mean? What is your idol? Your own body. Jung. That’s right. This is an idol now. So, you just have to say you’ll offer this idol to God, and then keep using it for good things for God. Jesus doesn’t say, “Bring all your wealth immediately.” That’s not it. “Bring all your power.” That’s not it. “I will offer all my power, wealth, and my body for God.” Jesus says that. “I will do that.” That’s all you need to do in the future. They say they can’t do that. They say it’s a bit complicated, so they’ll try it later. Foolish.

The Three Elements of Value: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty
Then, what are the three elements of value? This is important. Look, look. My first lecture is very important. First, when I bring up a topic, that’s important. So, keeping? Yes. The three elements of religion are sin, punishment, and modernity. The three elements of faith are faith, hope, and love. The three elements of philosophy are emptiness, completeness, and honesty. Ah, then, in the truth of honesty, what should righteousness be based on? Emptiness. Isn’t that right? What should love be based on? Faith. So, giving to others must be earned honestly. Isn’t that right? Look, these three are always holding each other’s ankles. Some people say philosophy is honesty. That’s wrong. Philosophy is between emptiness and honesty. Like this. Faith and love are related to faith. Hope and… So, giving must be earned honestly and used in the right place. You have to give. It’s a bit difficult to buy food for lonely people, isn’t it? Yes, yes. So, you have to earn money honestly and give it in the right place. So, commandments, honesty, giving. If this is missing here, does it work? No, it doesn’t. Should you give money to bad people? Should you give money to terrorists? Should you give? So, this is absolutely necessary. Even if you keep this, if you don’t keep this, this dies. Isn’t that right? The reason I emphasize the three elements is that these three things always hold each other. The three elements of value.

The Cycle of Reincarnation and the Six Paths
Why do humans have to live on Earth for a lifetime? Why do they reincarnate again? What is reincarnation? Reincarnation is being reborn. Reincarnation is being reborn. Where is this reborn? It’s reborn on Earth. Reincarnation. Chairman Park, what is higher than reincarnation? Eternal life. Eternal life assistance. I mentioned it once before, what is lower than reincarnation? Lower is becoming an animal. Beast. Beast. This is going into the ground. It’s being born in the ground. What is lower than a beast? Isn’t there something lower than a beast? Isn’t there something lower than a beast? Of course, the voice sounds like it’s coming from a different universe. What was the voice lower than this? It’s a hungry ghost, but when you talk about it differently, you have to use this character. Oh, this, this, this. It’s called a hungry ghost. Ah, this is the character for hungry ghost. You have to write it with the character for food and the character for self. This is a hungry ghost. These are the starving microorganisms that can’t eat. Microorganisms. They are born as microorganisms. Then, what is born at a lower stage than microorganisms? Going to a ghost. It’s a hungry ghost. This is being born as a ghost. This is hell. From here, this is called hell. It’s underground. This, this is underground. A beast is not underground. This is underground, and a beast is still on Earth. Then, what goes higher than this? Higher than reincarnation. No, eternal life is eternal life. Eternal life. No, higher than reincarnation. No, eternal life is eternal life, eternal life. An alien is an alien, that’s right. Being born as an alien, that’s called mutual growth. This is being born in heaven. So, one step upgraded from Earth. In Buddhism, the six paths of reincarnation, if you look at the six paths of reincarnation, what is being born as a human at the very bottom in Buddhism? A hungry ghost. There’s a realm of hungry ghosts, where ghosts and insects are born. The world where hungry ghosts live is the universe, the hungry ghost realm. Then, what realm is there? There’s the animal realm, right? But at the very bottom is the hungry ghost realm, and before that, there’s the hell realm. The hell realm is like this. Hell, hungry ghost, beast. Then, these are the things that belong to the hell realm. Then, beast, then what is there? The human realm, Asura. Asura, then human. There’s the human realm. Human realm, human realm. This is the Asura realm. Then, what is here? The sixth is the heavenly realm. This heavenly realm. This is one, two, three, four, five, six. The six paths of reincarnation. The highest stage of the six paths of reincarnation is this. Being born in heaven. Then, people who commit ordinary sins are reborn as Earthlings. But if their score is a little good here, they are reborn in heaven, in the mutual growth realm. So, this is being born in heaven. What is it there? They are born in the kingdom of heaven there. It’s called rebirth in the Pure Land. So, rebirth in the Pure Land is what we call paradise in other words. Rebirth in the Pure Land, paradise. We say rebirth in the Pure Land. Going to paradise is called rebirth in the Pure Land. Being born is reincarnation. So, being born as a ghost becomes a hungry ghost. Being born as a spirit becomes a hungry ghost, and then being born as an animal becomes a beast. This is the end. So, the fundamental purpose of human beings is to go here. To go here, but where must we go through? We go through mutual growth. There’s one more heavenly world. So, who is the one who passes through the heavenly world? In Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha, isn’t that right? Amitabha, they call him Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha. You must know this here. What you must know here is Amitabha Buddha, who presides over the heavenly world, that is, God. God in Christianity. So, that is the Creator. Amitabha Buddha is like Vairocana Buddha. This Amitabha Buddha is the one who presides over the heavenly realm. It means going to the Western Pure Land. Amitabha Buddha is there where you go to the Western Pure Land.

The “Ah” Sound, Korean Genealogy, and the Sumerian Civilization
So, what’s interesting is, look closely at Amitabha Buddha. We are the Baekdu Mountain people. The Baekdu Mountain people are Amitabha Buddha, Asadal, Baekdu Mountain. There’s nothing else, right? Look closely. This is the Garden of Aden. It’s not Eden. The pronunciation is wrong. And what comes out? Adam comes out. Isn’t that right? And Asia, Africa, America, father, Apache. All these words have the character ‘Ah’. Everything with ‘Ah’ is the Korean people. It means it’s a place related to the Korean people. Then, Amitabha of Amitabha Buddha, Aden, Adam, and Asadal. Who made Asadal? Dangun made it. Dangun’s capital, where is Asadal located? Where is Asadal located? Ganghwa Island. The location of Asadal is like this, if Baekdu Mountain Cheonji is like this, there are four rivers. Then Asadal is Baekdu Mountain. Here. Then Dangun came here and named his capital Asadal. This person is the father of Hailah, Hailah, who scattered from Israel. It’s in Genesis. Then, what civilization arose from this father of Hailah in the Middle East? What civilization arose from the Garden of Eden in Europe? Sumer, don’t you know that? There’s a civilization that arose in the Western Asadal, the Western Aden, Aden. Hongshan culture. Hongshan culture is a civilization that arose after moving once from there. It’s a civilization that arose after coming to China. What civilization is that, related to cows, so the name is a foreign word for cow? It’s the Sumerian civilization. Sumerian civilization, understand? This Sumerian civilization here is the comb-pattern pottery. The comb-pattern pottery found in Asadal on the Korean Peninsula, found in Baekdu Mountain Asadal, is the same as what? It’s the same as the comb-pattern pottery. And the Sumerian civilization is the civilization of our Korean people. Sumer means cow. Ox. Sumer. So, this should be considered very important. So, this Sumerian civilization used comb-pattern pottery, and it started in Aden. So, this Sumerian civilization that arose here, this civilization that arose in the Garden of Aden, eventually came to Baekdu Mountain. Baekdu Mountain looks the same. Like that. Like here. Instead, there’s a difference there. When this civilization arose, the biggest difference between here and Baekdu Mountain is that Jews and we are one people. We are one people. Then, the twelfth son of Joktan, the fifteenth descendant of Adam. Who is this? Hailah. This Hailah came to the East. The remaining thirteen brothers, twelve brothers, one was excluded, so twelve brothers, went to Judea. Also Israel. So, they became the people of Israel. At that time, these people came to Asia and established their capital in Etu Mountain, and we created a language. We created a language called Hangeul, but they couldn’t create a language. To this day, Jews have no language. It’s Hebrew. It’s like us using the language of our enemies, Japanese. Isn’t that right? The Jews are now using the language of the Japanese people who invaded and took their country. Isn’t that right? The people who are said to be the smartest in the world. So, in this heaven, we are killing this Eden in the West. We are not going back there. The Messiah is coming to Baekdu Mountain, the Eden of the East. Moving towards Baekdu Mountain. Here, the world’s best language has been created. And they had no surnames. They became a people without surnames and without a language. This became a curse after Jesus ate Jesus. They were not allowed to create a language or surnames, and they were just completely destroyed. They were scattered all over the world. Isn’t that right? Although they received this authority, Hailah, the twelfth son of Joktan, came to our country and settled in Baekdu Mountain, so he was given a surname, and the Messiah will come from here in the future. That’s why Huh Kyung young is here. Asahi is starting from hell here. Do you understand what I mean? So, Adam, Aden, Asadal, Amitabha Buddha, Asia, Africa, America, father, Apache, Iceland, the world’s largest ice castle, yes, yes, yes, everything has the character ‘Ah’ attached to it. That’s why father comes out, and dad comes out.

The Most Beautiful Words and the Three Elements of Human Status
But what was said to be the most beautiful word in the world, according to a global survey? Mother. The most beautiful word is mother. Applause. Applause. Huh Kyung young, the second most beautiful word is father. Love. The second is love. What’s the third? No, I’m giving you a hint, but… Father is a very disliked word. Father is quite a disliked word. Rice. I’m giving you time, but you can’t think? Do it? They picked the words that humans like the most in order. Uncle, what would you like this to be, everyone? Would you only like uncle? My twin, my twin, my twin. No, there’s nothing similar. Who likes their wife? It’s almost 30 minutes. Hahahahaha. This came from Hwang Su-gwan’s lecture. Father? Father is not father. Is father 17th? Oh, trouble. Can’t anyone else guess? Money. A similar word came out, money. Money. What kind of smile is the third? This is another word for gratitude. Thank you. Thank you. T H A N K. Thank you. So, they like it when you say thank you. Humans like these kinds of words. Then, what is mother? Mother is the person who gives to me. Love. Giving to me. So, humans fundamentally like words that mean receiving. Receiving. You received a lot from your mother, didn’t you? So, a mother, even if her child has no home or place to go, even if she’s an old grandmother working in someone else’s house in the countryside, even if she has five children in Seoul, she says she’ll stay alone so as not to cause fights between her daughter-in-law and son when she goes to her child’s house. Even while she’s there, she only worries about her children. But children don’t worry much about their mothers. That’s right. So, parents think it’s a burden to rely on their children. They don’t even like what their children give them. So, no one raises children to rely on them, do they? So, the word mother is too sacrificial, sacrificial. What mother would want to go to her child’s house and cause trouble, leaving her daughter-in-law and child to live happily? Chairman Park wants to live like that at his child’s house. So, even if he finds a small room to live in later, he absolutely doesn’t want to live with his children. People are like that. This word mother means wanting sacrifice; it’s not raising children to take something from them. Because it’s sacrifice, this word is liked in the previous life. They like mother. So, they like this mother, and the word with ‘Ah’ in it is father, isn’t that right? It’s father. This is wrong for receiving respect from humans. But that’s our genealogy. Is our genealogy like this? So, we have the character ‘Ah’ attached. So, Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha is Maitreya, Maitreya Buddha. Maitreya is not Asia, but we have this character ‘Ah’ in Asia. This character ‘Ah’ is written like this. This refers to the Korean Peninsula. It means Maitreya comes to the Korean Peninsula. So, Maitreya is Amitabha Buddha. So, Maitreya, that same character, Maitreya and Amitabha are the same characters. This, this Maitreya. So, the one in heaven comes to Earth, in a human body. That comes to the Korean Peninsula. So, you should know that for reference. So, what I’m talking about is value. Our human value is that we are this kind of people. We are a great people. We are definitely a people who must unify the world and change the world. But we are sitting here without knowing. I have come to teach you now. So, the very fact that I am here means this has already begun. Then, what is our value? What should our value be? The three elements of value. Mr. Kim, if Mr. Kim can’t do much today, no, you can’t not memorize the three elements of value. Human beings living, no, I was going to applaud the sick person, but it didn’t happen. So, please know the three elements of value. They are truth, goodness, and beauty. So, why is this important? You have to uphold the truth. truth. If a human being is to have value, if they don’t uphold the truth, their human value is zero. If you uphold the truth, you look good, and if you’re good, you’re beautiful. Isn’t that right? That’s what Chairman Park emphasized earlier. Why should we uphold the truth? To be good. Why be good? To be beautiful. This is human value. Isn’t that right? No, if Ahn Jung-geun killed someone by upholding the truth, we can see Ahn Jung-geun as beautiful. So, beauty is consistent with truth. What deviates from truth is not beautiful. Isn’t that right? It was Park Yeo-jeong. All. That person stole. But they are handsome. Do you call that beautiful? No. No matter how wrinkled an old woman is, and her hands are like this, if that grandmother farmed in the countryside and sold her children to educate them, sent them to college, then that person looks beautiful. Isn’t that right? This means that those who uphold the truth are good and beautiful. And those who are beautiful uphold the truth. These are always intertwined. They cannot be separated. I’m teaching you that today. So, the value of human existence, our human value, is different from the three elements of philosophy, faith, and religion. Clearly. This is a very important statement. What I’m lecturing on today should actually be done at Harvard University. I’m teaching it to you. A secret. Harvard students cannot hear such lectures. Because there are no such professors. A world-class professor is here on the Korean Peninsula, not in America. Why doesn’t he go? There are no university professors in America who know the three elements of human value. Yes, yes. It’s truth, but what is this truth? It’s falsehood. Human value changes depending on whether it’s truth or falsehood. Isn’t that right? truth, here, depending on whether it’s honesty or falsehood, the floor is suddenly arrested. They took money. Then that person’s life is over. Suddenly, they knew the president and that person’s child. Above. It just ended like that. Their beauty seemed beautiful until then. It disappears in an instant. If this goes wrong, everything disappears. In an instant. goodness also disappears. That person seemed like an apostle of justice, the president. Isn’t that right? But if something goes wrong with that person, it disappears. They live together. It’s not just this one that disappears. So, goodness turns into what? It turns into evil. Isn’t that right? If this becomes false, that person’s life turns into evil. Then, if this turns into evil, what does this turn into? It turns into ugliness. Ugly me. Yes, yes. This means a very ugly ghost. Ugly character. A very ugly character. Then, beauty and ugliness are opposites. beauty is beautiful, and this is ugly. Then, if you pursue truth, you can have truth, goodness, and beauty, but if you pursue falsehood, you bring evil and ugliness. That person is really a bad person. It becomes like this. Should we do falsehood? We must uphold the truth somehow. I’m telling you the fundamental secret of that. I’m lecturing on honesty. This is a world-class lecture. Then, the three elements of human status emerge. Chairman Park, what are the three elements of status? Now, Mr. Kim must have memorized them, right? Mr. Kim’s luck is a bit strange. Oh, please have a glass of water. Have a little, and the coughing will subside. I’ll give it to you. I’ll give you water. Please have some, Huh Kyung young. Now, the three elements of status are not knowledge, emotion, and will. Isn’t that right? That person’s value and status are different. When you look at a prosecutor general, their value and their status are different. You shouldn’t confuse status and value. This is very important. This is what comes from impression or physiognomy, called status. This is also a kind of appearance. It’s an appearance, but the three elements of status. If a person becomes like this, does their status go down or not? It goes down. It goes down, doesn’t it? Then, they take the appearance of value and run away. People who have no money can’t even make a grave for their mother. Then, how grateful would the person in the morgue be if I took them? Yes, even dead people exchange favors. Favors don’t only come to living people. Ghosts also repay favors. They say “gyeolcho-bohon” (tying grass to repay a favor). They tie grass to help the general. Tying grass. The three elements of status. Now you must know them, right? What? Hahahahahahaha. Someone give me 5 million won. I’ll take 5 million won. Give it to Chairman Park. Mr. Ahn, what is this? Color, color appearance? Color type? Does it show well? What is this physiognomy? What if our assistant professor doesn’t know? Appearance is physiognomy. Impression, physiognomy. What is body? That person’s body, body. Isn’t that right? Does the body’s status look like this? Even if he’s a prosecutor general, if he’s handsome, tall, and good-looking, does he look like he has status or not? His appearance already has that person’s status. But if that prosecutor general is very ugly, even if he hasn’t done anything wrong, why does he look so inferior? Isn’t that right? We call that status. That’s related to past lives. It means he brought something from his past life. Then, what is appearance? Appearance is what you change in this world. This can be changed by impression. This is called physiognomy and impression. Appearance. This can be changed, appearance. No matter how ugly or short you are, you can still have a strong presence. And if you’re ugly and shout, you just lose points. So, this appearance is like wearing glasses to match your body, so you have to change it a bit. Appearance. This is the appearance of human status. The three ways to express yourself, your body, impression, and what’s the last one? Mindset. This mindset, hidden appearance, all these are included in appearance. Three are included. Will I be cursed and leave? It’s action, what that person does. No, a short, ugly person jumped into the water. He saved seven children who were drowning. Then that person’s action is action. Action, conduct, conduct. Depending on their conduct, that person’s status goes up and down. So, does physiognomy change according to conduct? It changes. Can the body also be changed according to conduct? Yes or no? All these are intertwined. Like this, like this. So, you need to know how to raise and lower your status, but you live in this world without knowing these five things. You are living in vain. This physiognomy, the physiognomy our assistant professor sees, is actually included here. It refers to body, appearance, and action. You have to change your body somehow, but this body is a bit difficult to change. Even if you have an ugly body and face, if you change your appearance and actions, your body changes. Isn’t that right? Oh, an ugly child goes abroad and comes back as the first-place table tennis player. A champion. People treat that person like a god. Isn’t that right? Their body changes, even if they’re ugly. Isn’t that right? So, this one pulls this one in. If you do this one well, this one also gets pulled in. They mix. That’s right. A person who does this well is someone who changes their status. That’s right. Religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status are the foundation of living an honest life. Isn’t that right? If you’ve seen it all, you should applaud. Isn’t that right? If you write it down, it’s nothing. But you wouldn’t know. If we hear it, it’s all wrong. It’s a scary story. Oh, it’s okay. Even though I’m saying this now, philosophy professors in Korea don’t know this. They don’t have this as a basic foundation. I’m telling you this because I came from heaven as the Messiah. I’m not the Messiah. Why would I say such things? They don’t know. No one knows. It’s not in any book in the world. This is very important. You understand what honesty is, right? All this honesty, keeping the commandments, faith, are all related to honesty, aren’t they? Yes. All this, all this is related to honesty, isn’t it? Yes. Oh, what’s the use of having a good body? If you cheat somewhere. Really. Then your status drops sharply. That’s right. Oh. It passes quickly. Oh. So, there’s truth, goodness, and beauty here, but what’s the use of just beauty? goodness and beauty. All these are intertwined. How many of these three? Fifteen. These fifteen are the most important points in life. You should write this down and memorize it. Write it down and memorize it all. Thank you.

The core of all success, from business to personal relationships, is honesty. This lecture explains how honesty is the fundamental principle connecting religion, faith, philosophy, values, and even personal image, revealing a profound, interconnected system for a fulfilling life.

1. The Importance of Honesty in Success and Management
   The speaker emphasizes that honesty is the most crucial factor for success in all aspects of life, from business to personal relationships, and that a lack of honesty leads to widespread problems, including national debt.

1.1. Honesty as the Ultimate Secret to Success

1. The speaker states that the best secret to success, whether in business or human relationships, is honesty .
2. This principle is often overlooked by many people .
3. Business administration experts who propose various methods for success are often mistaken, as honesty is the only guaranteed path to success in the long run .
4. Therefore, there is no need to study complex business theories if one understands the importance of honesty .

1.2. The Flaws of Modern Business Education and its Impact

1. Modern business education, such as MBA programs, often focuses on methods to extract money from people rather than promoting honesty .
2. These programs teach various ways to manage money, increase interest, and create insurance products to attract more funds .
3. However, even financial experts and companies can fail if they lack honesty, as seen with the issues faced by certain investment firms .
4. The lack of honesty extends to public corporations and government, leading to significant national debt .
5. Public corporations in Korea have a debt of about 500 trillion won, which means each citizen owes 10 million won .
6. This national debt increases by approximately 70 billion won every month .
7. Public corporation employees often prioritize their salaries and bonuses over the success of their companies, showing a lack of honesty .

1.3. The Consequences of Dishonesty in Public Service

1. Dishonest public officials contribute to the growing national debt by mismanaging funds and spending on unnecessary things like overseas trips .

2. If honest public officials were in place, national debt would decrease .

3. Currently, the national debt, including public corporation debt and household debt, is astronomically high, indicating a severe problem .

4. The speaker suggests that executives of public corporations should undergo re-education on honesty and face consequences for financial losses .

5. If a public corporation incurs a deficit, the executives’ salaries should be reduced, or they should be fired .

6. The country is currently failing because no one is taking action to address these issues .

7. The Interconnectedness of Honesty with Religion, Philosophy, and Values
   The speaker explains that honesty is a fundamental principle that underpins religion, faith, philosophy, and personal values, emphasizing that these concepts are deeply interconnected and cannot exist meaningfully in isolation.

2.1. Honesty as the Core of National Management

1. The speaker expresses anger and frustration, which he calls “public indignation,” over the widespread dishonesty in national management .
2. This anger is not personal but stems from concern for the future of young people .
3. In contrast, emotional anger is called “rage” .
4. The speaker asserts that honesty is the best management secret for both companies and the nation .
5. He cites an example of Jesus overturning tables in the temple, which he interprets as an act of “public indignation” against dishonesty, not personal anger .
6. This shows that even divine beings can express anger when principles are violated .

2.2. The Three Elements of Religion and Faith

1. The speaker introduces a set of principles that are often violated, such as politics without principles, pleasure without conscience, wealth without effort, and religion without character .
2. The three main elements of religion are discipline (계), honesty (정), and charity (해) .
3. Honesty is crucial because simply giving to others (charity) without honesty (e.g., giving away stolen money) is meaningless .
4. These three elements are interconnected and must be upheld together; violating one invalidates the others .
5. The three main elements of faith are belief (신), hope (망), and love (애) .
6. These elements are also interconnected; one cannot have hope and love without belief .
7. A “lame faith” that only prays for things without belief will fail .

2.3. The Three Elements of Philosophy

1. The three main elements of philosophy are emptiness (공), honesty (정), and harmony (원) .

2. Honesty requires emptiness, meaning one must let go of material possessions, power, and fame to achieve true spiritual life .

3. The speaker references biblical stories where individuals were asked to give up their wealth and power to follow a spiritual path, but they refused .

4. Harmony means living righteously within the context of human relationships, not just following rules rigidly .

5. For example, acting “righteously” by harming one’s mother is not true righteousness; it must be balanced with harmonious relationships .

6. Historical figures like Hitler, who acted “righteously” by conquering the world and killing people, lacked harmony .

7. These three elements are interdependent; one cannot exist without the others .

8. Therefore, honesty should not be taken lightly, as it is deeply intertwined with these fundamental truths .

9. The Three Elements of Value and Image
   The speaker explains that human value and image are also built upon interconnected principles, emphasizing that honesty is the foundation for true beauty, goodness, and a positive personal image, which are all linked to one’s actions and spiritual state.

3.1. The Three Elements of Value

1. The three main elements of value are truth (진), goodness (선), and beauty (미) .
2. Human value is zero if one does not uphold truth .
3. Upholding truth leads to goodness, and goodness leads to beauty .
4. For example, a person who commits a crime, no matter how handsome, is not considered beautiful .
5. Conversely, an old, wrinkled grandmother who sacrificed for her children is seen as beautiful because she upheld truth and goodness .
6. These three elements are interconnected; if one element, like truth, is compromised, the others also collapse .
7. If truth is replaced by falsehood, goodness turns into evil, and beauty becomes ugliness .
8. Therefore, striving for truth is essential to maintain goodness and beauty in one’s life .

3.2. The Three Elements of Image

1. The three main elements of image (위상) are physical appearance (채), facial expression/impression (상), and actions/conduct (용) .
2. Physical appearance refers to one’s body and how it naturally presents itself, which can influence how others perceive one’s image .
3. Facial expression/impression refers to how one presents oneself through expressions and demeanor, which can be changed or improved .
4. Actions/conduct refers to one’s deeds and behavior, which can significantly elevate or diminish one’s image regardless of physical appearance .
5. For example, a small, unattractive person who saves seven children from drowning will be seen as having a high image due to their heroic actions .
6. These three elements are interconnected; improving one can positively influence the others .
7. Understanding and managing these elements is crucial for shaping one’s image in life .

3.3. The Overarching Role of Honesty

1. The speaker concludes that religion, faith, philosophy, value, and image are all fundamentally rooted in living an honest life .
2. All these concepts are interconnected with honesty .
3. For example, a physically attractive person who is unfaithful will have their image severely damaged .
4. The speaker emphasizes that these fifteen interconnected principles (three for each of the five categories) are the most important points in life .
5. He encourages the audience to remember and internalize these principles .

​

The ultimate business secret for success, according to this lecture, is honesty. It’s not just about business; honesty is the fundamental principle that underpins the three core elements of religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status, all of which are interconnected.

1. The Ultimate Business Secret: Honesty
   The ultimate secret to successful business and personal relationships is honesty, which is often overlooked by many.

1.1. Honesty as the Core of Success

1. The ultimate secret to successful business management is honesty .
2. Many large corporations fail because they do not understand this principle .
3. For example, a company that tries to reduce taxes by being close to powerful people will eventually face political pressure .
4. It is better for a company to honestly pay more taxes when profitable than to face severe consequences later .
5. Companies that manipulate their financial records, like reporting losses through accounting fraud, will eventually be investigated and punished when they are vulnerable .
6. Honesty is also the key to success in all aspects of life, including personal relationships and career .
7. Business schools often teach complex methods for making money, which the speaker believes are misleading and akin to training “thieves” .
8. Even financial experts and institutions can fail if they lack honesty, as seen with the issues at Tongyang Securities .

1.2. The Crisis of Dishonesty in Public Institutions

1. South Korea faces a severe financial crisis due to the dishonesty of public corporations and government officials .
2. Public corporations have a debt of 500 trillion won, increasing by 70 billion won each month .
3. The national foreign debt is 500 trillion won, and household debt is 1,000 trillion won .
4. Public corporation employees often prioritize their salaries and bonuses over the company’s success, showing a lack of honesty .
5. These officials treat overseas business trips as vacations and do not understand the hard work taxpayers put in .
6. The speaker proposes strict measures to combat this dishonesty .
7. If a public corporation incurs a deficit, the executives’ salaries should be cut, or they should be fired .
8. This approach would prevent companies from incurring deficits, as currently, no one is taking responsibility for the nation’s financial decline .
9. The speaker criticizes the hidden wealth of high-ranking officials .
10. Many officials hide large sums of money, often in 50,000 won bills, which contributes to the nation’s financial problems .
11. The speaker threatens to change the currency if he becomes president, which would render hidden 50,000 won bills worthless, forcing people to be honest .

1.3. Public Indignation and Core Principles

1. The speaker expresses public indignation (공분), which is anger for the future of the youth, not personal rage .

2. This type of anger is spiritual, unlike emotional anger (격노) .

3. The speaker compares this to Jesus’s anger when he overturned the tables of money changers in the temple, which was an act of divine wrath, not personal hatred .

4. The speaker lists seven principles that are often violated in society :

5. Politics without principles

6. Pleasure without conscience

7. Wealth without work

8. Education without character

9. Economy without morality

10. Religion without sacrifice

11. Science without humanity

12. The Three Core Elements of Life
    Life’s fundamental aspects—religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status—each have three interconnected core elements that emphasize the importance of honesty and balance.

2.1. Religion’s Three Elements: Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom

1. The three elements of religion are Precepts (戒), Concentration (定), and Wisdom (慧) .
2. Precepts mean living a righteous life and following rules .
3. Concentration refers to inner peace and focus.
4. Wisdom involves giving to others .
5. These three elements are interconnected and must be balanced .
6. For example, giving to others (Wisdom) is meaningless if it comes from dishonest means, like stealing (Precepts) .
7. If one element is missing or violated, the others lose their value .

2.2. Faith’s Three Elements: Belief, Hope, and Love

1. The three elements of faith are Belief (信), Hope (望), and Love (愛) .
2. These elements must also be interconnected and balanced .
3. Faith cannot exist if one only asks for hope and love without belief .
4. All three elements must be present and work together for true faith to be realized .

2.3. Philosophy’s Three Elements: Emptiness, Wholeness, and Righteousness

1. The three elements of philosophy are Emptiness (空), Wholeness (圓), and Righteousness (正) .
2. Emptiness means letting go of material possessions, power, and fame .
3. Righteousness (정) must be based on Emptiness (공) .
4. Wholeness (원) means having harmonious relationships, such as within a family .
5. Righteousness must exist within the framework of Wholeness; otherwise, it can lead to destructive actions, like Hitler’s actions .
6. These elements are interdependent, meaning one cannot exist without the others .
7. For example, Jesus told a rich young man that to achieve eternal life, he must first empty himself of his wealth and power .
8. Similarly, Buddha advised a king to give up his kingdom and possessions to attain enlightenment .
9. True righteousness requires an inner willingness to sacrifice one’s possessions and power for a higher purpose, even if not immediately acted upon .

2.4. The Idolatry of the 21st Century

1. In the 21st century, people have made their own bodies and families into idols .
2. People are obsessed with health and longevity, dedicating their lives to these pursuits .
3. This is a materialistic worldview (유물사상) where physical things and power are worshipped .
4. The speaker emphasizes that one should offer their body, power, and wealth to God or a higher truth, rather than worshipping them .
5. This offering is not necessarily a literal sacrifice but a commitment to use these aspects for good .
6. Those who cannot make this commitment are considered foolish .

2.5. The Interconnectedness of Life’s Elements

1. The speaker reiterates that the three elements of religion, faith, and philosophy are deeply interconnected .
2. For example, love is based on belief, and giving to others must be done honestly and righteously .
3. If one element is missing or corrupted, the entire system collapses .
4. These three-element structures are crucial because they highlight the complex interdependencies in life .

2.6. The Six Paths of Reincarnation (육도윤회)

1. The concept of reincarnation (환생) involves different levels of existence .
2. Reincarnation (환생) means being reborn on Earth .
3. Below reincarnation are animal birth (축생), hungry ghost birth (아생), and ghost birth (귀생), which is considered hell .
4. Above reincarnation are celestial birth (상생), which is being born as a cosmic being in the heavens, and pure land birth (왕생), which is rebirth in paradise (극락) .
5. The Buddhist concept of Six Paths of Reincarnation (육도윤회) includes :
6. Hell Realm (지옥계)
7. Hungry Ghost Realm (아귀계)
8. Animal Realm (축생계)
9. Asura Realm (수라계)
10. Human Realm (인계)
11. Heavenly Realm (천상계)
12. The highest stage of reincarnation is being born in the Heavenly Realm .
13. The Amitābha Buddha (아미타불) is believed to govern the Heavenly Realm, which is equivalent to God in Christianity .
14. The ultimate goal for humans is to reach the Pure Land (극락) through celestial birth .

2.7. The “Ah” (아) Sound and the Korean People

1. Many significant names and places share the “Ah” (아) sound, suggesting a connection to the Korean people .
2. Examples include Amitābha Buddha (아미타불), Asadal (아사달, the capital of Gojoseon), Eden (아덴), Adam (아담), Asia, Africa, America, Father (아버지), and Apache .
3. This indicates that places and concepts with the “Ah” sound are related to the Korean people .
4. The Sumerian civilization (스메르 문명), which used comb-pattern pottery similar to those found in Korea, is considered an ancestral civilization of the Korean people .
5. This civilization originated in the Garden of Eden (아덴) and migrated to Baekdusan, where Dangun established Asadal .
6. The ancestor who established Asadal was Haila (하일라), the 12th son of Joktan, a 15th-generation descendant of Adam .
7. While Haila’s 12 brothers went to Judea and became the ancestors of the Jewish people, Haila came to Asia .
8. The Korean people developed their own language (Hangul), unlike the Jewish people, who still use Hebrew, the language of their oppressors .
9. The speaker claims that the Jewish people were cursed after Jesus’s crucifixion, losing their own language and surnames and being scattered worldwide .
10. In contrast, the descendants of Haila, who settled in Baekdusan, were given surnames and are destined to be the origin of the Messiah .

2.8. The Most Beautiful Words and the Meaning of “Ah”

1. A global survey found that the most beautiful word is Mother (어머니), followed by Love (사랑), and then Smile (미소) or Thank you (감사) .
2. These words represent giving and receiving, as mothers are seen as selfless givers .
3. The word Father (아버지) is generally disliked .
4. The “Ah” (아) in Amitābha Buddha (아미타불) refers to Asia or the Korean Peninsula, and “Mi” (미) refers to Maitreya (미륵불) .
5. This suggests that Maitreya, a celestial being, will come to Earth in human form on the Korean Peninsula .
6. The speaker believes that the Korean people are a great nation destined to unify and change the world .

2.9. The Three Elements of Value: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

1. The three elements of human value are Truth (眞), Goodness (善), and Beauty (美) .
2. To have value, humans must uphold Truth .
3. Upholding Truth leads to Goodness, and Goodness leads to Beauty .
4. For example, a person who upholds truth, like Ahn Jung-geun, is seen as beautiful .
5. Conversely, someone who is physically attractive but dishonest is not considered beautiful .
6. These three elements are interconnected; if one is compromised, the others are also affected .
7. If Truth is replaced by Falsehood (僞), then Goodness turns into Evil (惡), and Beauty becomes Ugliness (醜) .
8. For example, a public figure who appears good and beautiful will lose all their value if their dishonesty is revealed .
9. The speaker emphasizes that this understanding of value is a profound secret not taught in top universities .

2.10. The Three Elements of Status: Body, Appearance, and Action

1. The three elements of human status are Body (体), Appearance (相), and Action (用) .
2. Body refers to one’s physical form, which can inherently convey status .
3. Appearance refers to one’s facial expression and demeanor, which can be changed and influenced by one’s actions .
4. Action refers to one’s deeds and conduct, which can significantly raise or lower one’s status .
5. These elements are interconnected and influence each other .
6. For example, a person with a less attractive body can gain high status through heroic actions .
7. Understanding these five sets of three elements (religion, faith, philosophy, value, and status) is fundamental to living an honest and meaningful life .
8. The speaker asserts that this knowledge is unique and not found in any books or taught by any professors .
9. All 15 elements are interconnected, meaning a flaw in one can affect all others .
10. This comprehensive understanding of honesty is crucial for navigating life .

2013.10.12 895 정직의 진리

정직, 성공과 경영의 근본 원리

최고의 경영 비법은 정직입니다. 인간관계에서든 회사에서든 성공하는 비법은 오직 정직뿐입니다. 경영학 박사들이 제시하는 수많은 방법론은 모두 거짓이며, 오직 정직만이 궁극적인 성공을 가져옵니다. MBA 과정은 국민의 돈을 빼내는 방법을 연구하는 도둑놈 면허와 같습니다. 돈을 불리고 보험 상품을 만들어 사람들에게서 돈을 끌어오는 방법을 연구하지만, 정작 그들 자신에게 정직이 결여되어 있다면 결국 회사도, 심지어 한국은행도 망하게 됩니다.

국가 부채와 공기업의 무책임: 정직의 부재가 초래한 위기
현재 국가 부채는 매월 약 700억 원씩 늘어나고 있으며, 공기업 부채는 500조 원에 달합니다. 국민 1인당 천만 원의 빚을 지고 있는 셈입니다. 공기업 직원들은 월급과 보너스를 챙기면서도 회사의 성공이나 사업 운영에는 전혀 신경 쓰지 않습니다. 정직한 사람이 단 한 명도 없어 국민 세금이 어떻게 쓰이는지 모르고, 적자를 내면서도 해외 출장을 유흥처럼 즐깁니다. 이러한 무책임한 태도 때문에 국가와 공기업의 부채는 계속 늘어나고 가계 부채는 1,000조 원에 이릅니다. 적자 나는 사업을 하는 공기업 임원들은 모두 해고하고, 적자가 발생하면 월급에서 삭감해야 합니다. 나라가 망해가는 것을 눈 뜨고 지켜보면서도 아무런 대책을 세우지 않는 것은 공분할 일입니다.

공분(公憤)의 의미와 진리 탐구의 시작
공분은 개인적인 분노가 아니라 젊은이들의 미래를 생각하며 영혼이 화를 내는 것입니다. 예수가 성전에서 돈 바꾸는 자들을 뒤엎은 행위도 공분에서 비롯된 것입니다. 하늘도 화가 나면 지진으로 모든 것을 없애버리듯, 인간 사회에 정직이 사라지면 공분이 일어납니다. 원칙 없는 정치, 양심 없는 쾌락, 노력 없는 재물, 인격 없는 종교, 도덕 없는 경제, 환경 없는 과학, 인격 없는 교육은 모두 정직의 부재에서 오는 문제입니다.

종교, 신앙, 철학의 3대 요소: 진리의 구조
종교의 3대 요소는 계(戒), 정(定), 혜(慧)입니다. 계는 도둑질하지 않는 정직함을, 정은 바르게 사는 것을, 혜는 남에게 베푸는 것을 의미합니다. 정직함이 없는 베풂은 의미가 없습니다. 신앙의 3대 요소는 믿음, 소망, 사랑입니다. 이 세 가지가 하나가 될 때 진정한 신앙이 됩니다. 믿음 없이 소망과 사랑만을 구하는 것은 절름발이 신앙입니다. 철학의 3대 요소는 정(正), 공(空), 원(圓)입니다. 정은 정직함을, 공은 비움을, 원은 원만함을 뜻합니다. 재물, 권세, 명예를 비워야 영생을 얻을 수 있으며, 바른 것도 원만한 인간관계 안에서 이루어져야 합니다. 히틀러처럼 바르다는 명분으로 세상을 파괴하는 것은 원만함이 없는 바름입니다. 이 모든 요소는 서로 연결되어 있으며, 하나라도 빠지면 진리가 성립될 수 없습니다.

21세기, 우상의 시대와 진정한 가치
21세기는 자기 몸과 가족을 우상으로 삼는 유물론의 시대입니다. 사람들은 건강과 장수에 집착하며 인생의 전부를 걸지만, 하늘은 자신의 몸을 바치라고 말합니다. 즉, 물질과 권세, 명예를 초월하여 하나님과 진리를 위해 사용해야 합니다. 예수님은 재산과 권세를 당장 바치라는 것이 아니라, 마음속을 비우고 그것들을 하나님을 위해 쓰겠다고 말로만 해도 충분하다고 했습니다. 그러나 사람들은 그마저도 어려워합니다.

인간 가치의 3대 요소: 진선미(眞善美)
인간 가치의 3대 요소는 진(眞), 선(善), 미(美)입니다. 진리를 지키면 선해 보이고, 선하면 아름다워집니다. 진리를 벗어난 것은 아름다울 수 없습니다. 아무리 외모가 뛰어나도 도둑질을 했다면 아름답지 않으며, 비록 외모가 초라해도 자식을 위해 희생한 할머니는 아름답게 보입니다. 진리를 지키지 않으면 선은 악으로, 미는 추함으로 변질됩니다. 이 세 가지 요소는 서로 뗄 수 없는 관계이며, 진리를 추구할 때 비로소 진정한 선과 미를 얻을 수 있습니다.

인간 위상의 3대 요소: 채상용(體相用)
인간 위상의 3대 요소는 채(體), 상(相), 용(用)입니다. 채는 타고난 몸과 외모를 의미하며, 이는 전생과 연관이 있습니다. 상은 인상이나 관상으로, 노력에 따라 바꿀 수 있는 부분입니다. 용은 행실, 즉 그 사람이 어떤 일을 하는지를 나타냅니다. 키가 작고 못생긴 사람이라도 물에 빠진 아이들을 구하는 영웅적인 행동을 하면 그의 위상은 높아집니다. 행실에 따라 관상이 바뀌고, 몸까지도 변화시킬 수 있습니다. 이 세 가지 요소는 서로 영향을 주고받으며, 이를 이해하고 변화시키려는 노력이 있어야 진정한 위상을 가질 수 있습니다. 종교, 신앙, 철학, 가치, 위상 이 모든 것은 정직하게 사는 삶의 근본 원리입니다.

정직, 최고의 경영 비법

세계 최고의 경영 비법은 바로 정직입니다. 효성그룹 조홍재 회장의 사례처럼, 권력과 가깝다고 세금을 덜 내는 것은 결국 기업의 몰락을 초래할 수 있습니다. 국세청은 모든 것을 알고 있으며, 힘이 약해질 때 한 번에 타격을 가할 것입니다. 오히려 회사가 흑자를 내면 세금을 더 많이 내어 정치적 탄압을 피하는 것이 현명합니다. 과거 80조 원의 적자를 분식회계로 감추고 이익이 없는 것처럼 조작하는 행위는 결국 발각될 수밖에 없습니다. 하버드 대학이든 어떤 대학이든 최고의 경영 비법은 정직이며, 인간관계와 회사에서 성공하는 비법 또한 정직입니다. 경영학 박사들이 제시하는 수많은 방법론은 모두 거짓이며, 오직 정직만이 성공을 보장합니다.

MBA의 본질과 국가 부채의 심각성
경영대학(MBA)은 정신 나간 사람들이 모여 국민의 돈을 어떻게 하면 빼낼 수 있을지 연구하는 곳입니다. 돈을 여러 가지 방법으로 굴려 이자를 불리고, 보험 상품을 만들어 사람들에게 돈을 끌어오는 방법을 연구하며 박사 학위를 수여합니다. 그러나 이러한 전문가들도 정직이 결여되면 동양증권의 사례처럼 결국 망하게 됩니다. 한국은행도 마찬가지입니다.

현재 국가 부채는 심각한 수준입니다. 우리나라 공기업 부채는 약 500조 원에 달하며, 국민 한 사람당 천만 원의 빚을 지고 있습니다. 매월 약 700억 원의 부채가 늘어나고 있으며, 이는 연간 수십조 원에 이릅니다. 공기업 임원들은 월급과 보너스를 다 챙기면서도 회사의 성공이나 사업 운영에는 신경 쓰지 않고, 국민 세금으로 적자를 메우고 해외 출장을 유흥처럼 즐깁니다. 정직한 공무원이 있다면 세금이 줄어들겠지만, 현실은 그렇지 않습니다. 국가 공기업 부채 500조 원, 국가 외채 500조 원, 가계 부채 1,000조 원이라는 엄청난 빚더미에 앉아 있습니다. 하루에 700억 원씩 적자를 내는 상황에서 국가가 어떻게 유지될 수 있겠습니까?

공기업 개혁과 화폐 개혁의 필요성
공기업 임원들은 유격 교육대에 보내 정신 교육을 다시 시켜야 합니다. 적자가 나면 월급에서 모두 삭감하고, 임원 수를 줄여야 합니다. 그래야 적자 나는 회사가 없어질 것입니다. 나라가 망해가는 것을 눈 뜨고 보고만 있을 수는 없습니다. 앞으로 적자 나는 사업을 하는 사람은 모두 해고해야 합니다. 지자체 부채까지 합치면 나라는 완전히 빚덩이가 됩니다.

이러한 상황을 타개하기 위해 대통령이 되면 화폐를 변경할 것입니다. 5만 원권으로 돈을 숨겨 놓은 사람들은 그날부로 돈을 바꿀 수 없게 될 것입니다. 5만 원권이 발행되자마자 지하로 사라져 버리는 현실은 돈을 숨겨 놓는 사람들이 많다는 것을 보여줍니다. 정직이 최고의 경영 비법이자 국가 경영의 최고 비법입니다.

공분(公憤)의 의미와 예수의 가르침
울화통이 치밀어 오르는 이 감정을 공분(公憤)이라고 합니다. 공분은 개인적인 분노가 아니라, 젊은이들의 미래를 생각하며 영혼이 화를 내는 것입니다. 감정적인 분노는 격노이지만, 공분은 개인적인 분노가 아닙니다. 그러나 오늘날 공분하는 사람이 없습니다.

예수님도 공분했습니다. 성전 앞에서 돈을 바꾸는 사람들을 뒤엎어 버린 것은 사랑으로 이해하고 용서하는 행동이 아니었습니다. 미친 사람처럼 소리 지르고 발길로 차버린 것은 하늘이 화를 내는 공분의 표현입니다. 하늘도 화가 나면 지진으로 모든 것을 없애버립니다. 인간들이 정직하지 못하고 하나님을 팔아 장사하기 때문에 이러한 공분이 생기는 것입니다.

원칙 없는 사회와 3대 요소의 중요성
우리 사회는 원칙 없는 정치, 양심 없는 쾌락, 노력 없는 재물, 인격 없는 교육, 도덕 없는 경제, 희생 없는 종교, 환경 없는 과학으로 가득합니다. 이러한 원칙 없는 삶은 결국 파멸을 초래합니다.

종교, 신앙, 철학에는 각각 3대 요소가 있습니다.

종교의 3대 요소: 계(戒), 정(定), 혜(慧)
계를 지키고 바른 삶을 살며, 남에게 베풀어야 합니다.
정직이 없는 베풂은 소용이 없습니다. 도둑질하여 베푸는 것은 계율을 어기는 것입니다.
계, 정, 혜는 서로 감시하며 연대되어 있습니다.
신앙의 3대 요소: 신(信), 망(望), 애(愛)
믿음, 소망, 사랑이 서로 하나가 될 때 진정한 신앙이 됩니다.
믿음 없이 소망과 사랑만을 구하는 것은 절름발이 신앙이며, 결국 망하게 됩니다.
철학의 3대 요소: 공(空), 원(圓), 정(正)
바르게 살기 위해서는 비우는 것(空)이 기본이 되어야 합니다.
재물, 권세, 명예를 버려야 영생을 얻을 수 있습니다. 예수님과 석가모니의 가르침이 이를 증명합니다.
정직(正)은 비움(空)을 전제로 해야 합니다.
원만함(圓)은 바름(正)과 함께 존재해야 합니다. 히틀러처럼 바르다는 명분으로 세상을 파괴하는 것은 원만함이 없는 바름입니다.
공, 원, 정은 서로 발목을 잡고 있으며, 어느 하나라도 없으면 온전한 철학이 될 수 없습니다.

우상의 시대와 자기 몸의 희생
예수님은 제자에게 재산과 권세, 명예를 하나님 앞에 바치겠다고 말로 시인하면 된다고 했습니다. 당장 바치지 않아도 마음속을 비우는 것이 중요합니다. 또한, 예수님은 자기 몸을 먼저 제사 지내라고 했습니다. 21세기 사람들에게 자기 몸은 우상이 되어 있습니다. 건강과 오래 사는 것에 인생의 전부를 걸지만, 하늘은 몸을 바치라고 합니다. 자기 몸과 가족이 우상이 되어버린 21세기는 우상의 시대이자 유물 사상의 한계에 도달한 시대입니다. 물질과 권세의 우상을 초월하여 하나님과 진리를 위해 자신을 바치겠다는 사람이 없습니다.

인간 가치의 3대 요소: 진선미
인간 가치의 3대 요소는 진(眞), 선(善), 미(美)입니다.

진리(眞)를 지켜야 가치가 있습니다. 진리를 지키지 않으면 인간의 가치는 0점입니다.
진리를 지키면 선(善)해 보입니다. 안중근 의사가 진리를 지켜 죽음을 택했기에 우리는 그를 아름답게 볼 수 있습니다.
선하면 아름다움(美)이 드러납니다. 도둑질하고 얼굴이 잘생긴 사람을 아름답다고 하지 않습니다. 자식을 위해 희생한 할머니의 쭈글쭈글한 손에서 아름다움을 느낄 수 있습니다.
진, 선, 미는 서로 연결되어 있으며, 어느 하나라도 없으면 온전한 가치를 가질 수 없습니다.
만약 진리가 거짓(僞)으로 변하면, 선은 악(惡)으로, 미는 추(醜)함으로 변질됩니다. 거짓은 결국 악과 추함을 불러옵니다.

인간 위상의 3대 요소: 체상용
인간 위상의 3대 요소는 체(體), 상(相), 용(用)입니다. 가치와 위상은 다릅니다. 검찰총장의 가치와 위상은 다를 수 있습니다.

체(體)는 몸을 의미합니다. 미남이고 키가 큰 검찰총장은 그 자체로 위상이 있어 보입니다. 이는 전생과 연관이 있습니다.
상(相)은 인상과 관상을 의미합니다. 못생기고 키가 작아도 귀여움을 떨거나 인상을 바꿀 수 있습니다. 상은 바꿀 수 있는 것입니다.
용(用)은 행실을 의미합니다. 키 작고 못생긴 사람이 물에 빠진 7명을 살려냈다면, 그의 행실(용)로 인해 위상이 올라갑니다. 행실에 따라 관상도 바뀌고, 몸도 바꿀 수 있습니다.
체, 상, 용은 서로 연관되어 있으며, 어느 하나라도 잘하면 다른 요소에도 긍정적인 영향을 미칩니다.

종교, 신앙, 철학, 가치, 위상의 15가지 요소는 우리 인생을 정직하게 사는 근본입니다. 이 모든 것은 정직과 깊이 연관되어 있습니다. 아무리 몸이 잘생겨도 바람을 피우면 위상이 추락하고, 아름다움만 추구하고 선이 없으면 소용이 없습니다. 이 15가지 요소는 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트이며, 반드시 기억해야 할 진리입니다.

육도윤회와 영생의 길
인간이 지구에 와서 살고 다시 환생하는 이유, 그리고 환생보다 더 높은 단계가 있습니다.

지옥계: 귀신으로 태어나는 귀생(鬼生)과 미생물로 태어나는 아생(餓生)이 속합니다.
축생계: 짐승으로 태어나는 축생(畜生)이 속합니다.
인간계: 지구인으로 태어나는 환생(還生)이 속합니다.
천상계: 죄를 덜 지은 사람이 천상에 태어나는 상생(上生)과 극락에 태어나는 왕생(往生)이 있습니다.
천상세계를 관장하는 분은 불교의 아미타불이며, 기독교의 하나님과 같은 창조주입니다. 아미타불은 비로자나불과 동일합니다.

한민족의 뿌리와 ‘아’의 비밀
아미타불, 아사달, 아덴(에덴), 아담, 아시아, 아프리카, 아메리카, 아버지, 아파치, 아이슬란드 등 ‘아’자가 들어가는 모든 것은 한민족과 관련이 있습니다. 단군이 도읍지로 삼은 아사달은 백두산에 위치하며, 이스라엘에서 흩어져 나온 하일라의 아버지와 연결됩니다. 중동의 수메르 문명과 서양의 아덴 동산에서 일어난 문명은 결국 백두산으로 이어집니다. 수메르 문명의 빗살 토기는 한반도 아사달에서 발견된 빗살 토기와 같습니다.

아담의 15대손 욕단의 12번째 아들 하일라는 동방으로 와 백두산에 자리를 잡고 한글이라는 세계 최고의 언어를 만들었습니다. 반면 나머지 12명의 형제는 유대로 들어가 이스라엘 민족이 되었지만, 언어를 만들지 못하고 히브리어를 사용합니다. 이는 자신들을 침공한 원수의 언어를 쓰는 것과 같습니다. 하늘은 서방의 에덴을 버리고 동방의 에덴인 백두산으로 메시아를 보냅니다. 한민족은 세계를 통일하고 바꿔야 할 위대한 민족입니다.

가장 아름다운 단어와 희생의 가치
전 세계 여론조사에서 가장 아름다운 단어는 ‘어머니’였습니다. 두 번째는 ‘사랑’, 세 번째는 ‘감사(Thank you)’입니다. 인간은 근본적으로 ‘받는’ 단어를 좋아합니다. 어머니는 자식에게 끊임없이 주는 존재이며, 희생적인 사랑을 베풉니다. 자식에게 신세 지는 것을 싫어하고, 자식이 주는 것보다 자식의 행복을 더 중요하게 생각합니다. 이러한 희생적인 가치 때문에 ‘어머니’라는 단어가 전 세계적으로 사랑받는 것입니다.

반면 ‘아버지’는 인간들이 싫어하는 단어입니다. 이는 ‘아’자가 들어가는 우리의 족보와 관련이 있지만, 어머니의 희생적인 사랑과는 다른 의미를 가집니다.

아미타불의 ‘미’는 미륵불을 의미하며, 아시아의 ‘아’는 한반도를 뜻합니다. 하늘에 있는 존재가 인간의 몸으로 한반도에 온다는 의미입니다. 허경영은 이러한 가르침을 통해 인간의 가치와 위상을 깨닫게 하고, 정직한 삶의 중요성을 설법합니다.

dv 정직은 모든 성공의 기본이며, 진정한 가치와 위상을 만드는 핵심이다.

1. 정직의 중요성
   최고의 성공 비법: 하버드 대학이든 어디든 최고의 경영 비법은 정직이며, 인간관계와 회사에서의 성공 또한 정직에 달려있다.
   국가 경영의 핵심: 국가 경영의 최고 비법도 정직이며, 공기업의 방만한 운영과 부채 증가는 정직하지 못한 태도에서 비롯된다.
   공분(公憤)의 의미: 예수가 성전에서 돈 바꾸는 자들을 내쫓은 것처럼, 영혼이 화를 내는 ‘공분’은 개인적인 분노가 아닌, 사회의 부정직함에 대한 분노이다.

2. 진리의 3대 요소
   종교의 3대 요소:
   계(戒): 도둑질하지 않는 등 계율을 지키는 것
   정(定): 정직함
   혜(慧): 남에게 베푸는 것
   정직함이 없는 베풂은 의미가 없다.
   신앙의 3대 요소:
   믿음: 신앙의 가장 기본
   소망: 믿음이 있을 때 소망이 의미를 가진다.
   사랑: 믿음과 소망이 하나 될 때 진정한 사랑이 가능하다.
   철학의 3대 요소:
   공(空): 비우는 것. 재물, 권세, 명예를 버려야 영생을 얻을 수 있다.
   정(正): 바르게 사는 것. 그러나 공(空)이 없는 정(正)은 존재할 수 없다.
   원(圓): 원만함. 아무리 바른 것도 원만한 인간관계 안에서 이루어져야 한다.

3. 인간 가치의 3대 요소
   진(眞): 진리를 지키는 것. 인간 가치의 기본이다.
   선(善): 진리를 지킬 때 선해진다.
   미(美): 선할 때 아름다워진다. 진리를 벗어난 아름다움은 진정한 아름다움이 아니다.
   이 세 가지는 서로 연결되어 있어, 하나라도 무너지면 모두 무너진다.

4. 인간 위상의 3대 요소
   채(體): 타고난 몸과 외모. 전생과 연관이 있다.
   상(相): 인상과 관상. 노력으로 바꿀 수 있다.
   용(用): 행실과 행동. 행실에 따라 위상이 올라가고 내려간다.
   이 세 가지 요소는 서로 영향을 주고받으며, 행실을 바르게 하면 타고난 채상도 변화시킬 수 있다.

📖 주요 인용 구절 및 예화
예수와 부자 청년: 예수님은 부자 청년에게 영생을 얻으려면 가진 재물을 다 버리라고 말씀하셨다. 이는 재물, 권세, 명예를 비워야 영생이 가능하다는 ‘공(空)’의 진리를 보여준다.
석가모니와 왕: 석가모니는 왕에게 부처가 되려면 왕위와 모든 것을 버려야 한다고 가르쳤다. 이는 ‘공(空)’의 중요성을 강조하는 예화이다.
어머니의 희생: 세상에서 가장 아름다운 단어는 ‘어머니’이며, 이는 어머니의 희생적인 사랑과 베풂을 의미한다.

이번 주, 다음 세 가지를 실천해봅시다.
나의 말과 행동이 정직한지 매일 점검하고, 거짓된 모습은 없는지 돌아보기
내가 가진 재물, 권세, 명예 중 비워야 할 것은 무엇인지 묵상하고, 이를 내려놓는 연습하기
나의 행실이 나의 위상과 가치를 높이는 방향으로 나아가고 있는지 성찰하고, 선하고 아름다운 행동을 의식적으로 실천하기

Q1: 오늘 가르침을 통해 나의 삶에서 ‘정직’이 부족했던 부분은 무엇이며, 이를 어떻게 개선할 수 있을까?

Q2: 내가 추구하는 ‘가치’와 ‘위상’은 진정으로 ‘진선미’를 따르고 있는가, 아니면 ‘악추’에 가까운가?

Q3: 나의 ‘우상’은 무엇이며, 이를 내려놓고 진정한 가치를 추구하기 위해 어떤 노력을 할 수 있을까?

정직이 개인의 성공과 국가 경영에 있어 가장 중요한 비법임. 또한, 종교, 신앙, 철학, 가치, 위상 등 인간 삶의 다양한 측면에서 정직이 어떻게 핵심적인 역할을 하는지 설명한다.

허경영 강연 895회: 정직의 진리 (2013년 10월 12일)

본 기록물은 2013년 10월 12일 진행된 허경영 선생의 제895회 강연 ‘정직의 진리’를 담고 있습니다. 이 강연은 개인의 성공과 국가 경영의 핵심 원리로서 정직의 중요성을 역설하며, 종교, 신앙, 철학, 가치, 위상 등 인간 삶의 근본적인 요소들을 정직과 연결하여 심도 깊은 통찰을 제공합니다.

제1장. 정직: 성공의 최고 비법
개인과 기업 경영의 핵심 원리
허경영 선생은 세계 최고의 경영 비법이자 성공 비법으로 정직을 강조합니다.
경영학 박사들이 제시하는 수많은 방법론은 거짓이며, 오직 정직만이 궁극적인 성공을 가져온다고 역설합니다.
정직하지 못한 경영의 폐해
동양그룹과 같은 기업들이 실패하는 이유는 최고 경영 비법인 정직을 모르기 때문이라고 지적합니다.
효성그룹 조홍제 회장의 사례를 들며, 권력자와 가깝다고 세금을 줄이려 하거나 분식회계를 통해 적자를 조작하는 행위는 결국 기업의 몰락을 초래한다고 경고합니다.
국세청은 이러한 불정직한 행위를 모두 파악하고 있으며, 기업이 힘이 약해질 때 한 번에 타격을 가할 수 있다고 설명합니다.

제2장. 국가 부채와 공기업의 문제점
국가 재정의 위기
대한민국 공기업 부채는 약 500조 원에 달하며, 국가 부채 역시 500조 원입니다.
국민 1인당 천만 원의 빚을 지고 있으며, 공기업 부채는 매월 약 700억 원씩 증가하고 있습니다.
국가 외채 500조 원, 가계 부채 1,000조 원을 합하면 나라는 빚더미에 앉아 있다고 강연자는 비판합니다.
공기업의 불성실한 경영
공기업 임원들은 월급과 보너스를 챙기면서도 회사의 성공이나 사업 운영에는 무관심하며, 정직한 사람이 없다고 지적합니다.
국민의 세금으로 운영되는 공기업이 적자를 내고 엉뚱한 곳에 돈을 쓰거나 해외 출장을 유흥으로 생각하는 행태를 비판합니다.
허경영 선생은 적자 기업 임원들을 유격 교육대에 보내 정신 교육을 다시 시키고, 적자가 나면 월급에서 삭감하며, 적자 사업을 하는 사람은 해고해야 한다고 주장합니다.
지방자치단체(지자체) 역시 적자 운영으로 국가를 빚더미로 만들고 있다고 비판합니다.
화폐 개혁을 통한 비자금 환수 (강연 당시 발언)
강연자는 자신이 대통령이 되면 화폐를 변경하여 숨겨놓은 비자금을 환수하겠다고 말합니다.
5만 원권 지폐가 지하로 숨어들어 비자금으로 활용되는 현실을 지적하며, 화폐 변경을 통해 이러한 돈을 무용지물로 만들겠다고 합니다.

제3장. 공분(公憤)의 의미와 중요성
공분과 격노의 차이
공분은 개인적인 감정으로 화를 내는 격노와 다릅니다.
공분은 젊은이들의 미래를 생각하며 영혼이 화를 내는 것을 의미합니다.
예수의 공분 사례
예수가 성전 앞에서 돈을 바꾸는 사람들을 뒤엎은 행위는 사랑으로 이해하고 용서하는 일반적인 모습과 다릅니다.
이는 개인적인 분노가 아닌, 진리가 훼손되는 것에 대한 영혼의 분노, 즉 공분이었다고 강연자는 설명합니다.
정직 없는 사회에 대한 경고
인간들이 정직하지 못하고 하나님을 팔아 장사하는 행태에 대해 신(神)조차 공분한다고 말합니다.

제4장. 원칙 없는 사회의 7가지 문제점
허경영 선생은 원칙 없는 사회가 낳는 7가지 문제점을 제시합니다.

원칙 없는 정치
양심 없는 쾌락
노력 없는 재물
인격 없는 교육
도덕 없는 경제
희생 없는 종교
환경 없는 과학

제5장. 삶의 근본을 이루는 3대 요소들

• 종교의 3대 요소: 계(戒), 정(定), 혜(慧)
  계(戒): 계율을 지키는 것.
  정(定): 바르게 사는 것 (정직).
  혜(慧): 남에게 베푸는 것.
  이 세 가지는 서로 연결되어 있으며, 정직이 없는 베풂(혜)은 의미가 없다고 강조합니다.
• 신앙의 3대 요소: 신(信), 망(望), 애(愛)
  신(信): 믿음.
  망(望): 소망.
  애(愛): 사랑.
  이 세 가지는 서로 연대되어 하나가 될 때 진정한 신앙이 됩니다. 믿음 없이 소망과 사랑만을 추구하는 것은 절름발이 신앙이며 결국 망하게 된다고 설명합니다.
• 철학의 3대 요소: 공(空), 원(圓), 정(正)
  공(空): 비우는 것.
  원(圓): 원만함.
  정(正): 바름 (정직).
  예수와 석가모니의 가르침을 예로 들며, 재물, 권세, 명예를 비워야 영생을 얻을 수 있다고 말합니다.
  바름은 원만한 인간관계 안에서 이루어져야 하며, 히틀러처럼 바르다는 명분으로 세상을 파괴하는 것은 진정한 바름이 아니라고 설명합니다.
  이 세 가지 요소는 서로 발목을 잡고 있어, 어느 하나라도 없으면 온전한 철학이 될 수 없습니다.

제6장. 인간의 가치와 위상

• 가치의 3대 요소: 진(眞), 선(善), 미(美)
  진(眞): 진리.
  선(善): 선함.
  미(美): 아름다움.
  인간의 가치는 진리를 지킬 때 비로소 존재하며, 진리를 지키면 선해지고 선하면 아름다워집니다.
  안중근 의사의 사례처럼 진리를 지킨 자는 아름답게 보이며, 아무리 외모가 뛰어나도 도둑질을 하면 아름답다고 할 수 없다고 설명합니다.
  진리를 벗어나 거짓을 행하면 선은 악으로, 미는 추함으로 변질됩니다.
• 위상의 3대 요소: 체(體), 상(相), 용(用)
  체(體): 몸 (타고난 외모, 신체).
  상(相): 인상 (바꿀 수 있는 인상이나 관상).
  용(用): 행실 (그 사람이 하는 일, 행동).
  위상은 가치와 혼동해서는 안 되며, 타고난 몸(체)뿐만 아니라 인상(상)과 행실(용)을 통해 변화시킬 수 있습니다.
  예를 들어, 못생긴 사람이 물에 빠진 사람을 구하는 영웅적인 행실(용)을 보이면 그의 위상과 체상까지도 긍정적으로 변화한다고 설명합니다.

제7장. 윤회와 영생의 단계
육도윤회(六道輪廻)의 단계
지옥계(地獄界): 귀신으로 태어나는 단계.
아귀계(餓鬼界): 미생물로 태어나는 단계.
축생계(畜生界): 짐승으로 태어나는 단계.
인간계(人界): 지구에 거듭나는 환생(還生)의 단계.
수라계(修羅界): 인간계와 천상계 사이의 단계.
천상계(天上界): 하늘에 태어나는 상생(上生)의 단계.
왕생(往生): 천상계보다 높은 극락(極樂)의 단계.
아미타불과 한민족의 연결성
천상세계를 관장하는 아미타불은 기독교의 하나님이자 창조주와 동일한 존재라고 설명합니다.
‘아’로 시작하는 단어들(아미타불, 아사달, 아덴, 아담, 아시아, 아프리카, 아메리카, 아버지, 아파치 등)은 모두 한민족과 관련이 있다고 주장합니다.
단군이 도읍지로 삼은 아사달은 백두산이며, 이는 서양의 아덴(에덴) 동산에서 시작된 수메르 문명과 연결됩니다.
수메르 문명의 빗살무늬토기가 한반도 백두산 아사달에서 발견된 빗살무늬토기와 같다는 점을 근거로 제시합니다.
아담의 15대손 욕단의 12번째 아들 하일라가 동방으로 와 백두산에 자리를 잡았고, 한글이라는 세계 최고의 언어를 만들었다고 설명합니다.
반면, 유대인들은 언어를 만들지 못하고 히브리어를 사용하며, 이는 자신들을 침공한 민족의 언어를 쓰는 것과 같다고 비판합니다.
강연자는 동방의 에덴인 백두산으로 메시아가 오며, 자신이 바로 그 메시아라고 주장합니다.
세상에서 가장 아름다운 단어
전 세계 여론조사 결과, 가장 아름다운 단어는 어머니이며, 두 번째는 사랑, 세 번째는 감사(미소)라고 말합니다.
인간은 근본적으로 ‘주는’ 단어(어머니, 사랑)를 좋아하며, 어머니는 자식에게 희생을 원하는 존재라고 설명합니다.
반면, ‘아버지’는 존경받기 어려운 단어로 인식된다고 언급합니다.
‘아’로 시작하는 단어들이 한민족의 족보와 연결되며, 미륵불이 한반도에 온다는 의미와 아미타불이 동일한 존재임을 강조합니다.

결론
허경영 선생은 종교, 신앙, 철학, 가치, 위상의 3대 요소들이 모두 정직이라는 근본 원리와 연결되어 있음을 강조하며 강연을 마무리합니다. 이 15가지 요소는 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트이며, 이를 이해하고 실천하는 것이 진정으로 가치 있는 삶을 사는 길임을 역설합니다. 강연자는 이러한 진리가 세계 어떤 책에도 나와 있지 않은 비밀스러운 지혜이며, 자신이 메시아로서 이를 가르치기 위해 왔다고 말합니다.

1. 정직의 진리: 최고의 경영 비법

오늘 강의의 제목은 ‘정직의 진리’입니다. 세계 최고의 경영 비법은 무엇일까요? 바로 정직입니다. 현재 동양그룹과 같은 기업들이 최고의 경영 비법을 모르고 있습니다. 효성그룹 조홍제 회장의 실수는 세금을 많이 내야 하는 상황에서 권력자와 가깝다는 이유로 세금을 줄이려 한 것입니다. 국세청은 이러한 사실을 모두 알고 있으며, 회사가 흑자를 냈을 때 일부러 세금을 더 많이 내어 정치적인 탄압을 피하는 것이 장기적으로 회사에 이롭습니다. 정직하지 못한 경영은 결국 회사를 한순간에 무너뜨릴 수 있습니다. 과거 80년대에 수출 적자를 분식회계로 조작하여 이익이 없는 것처럼 꾸민 사례가 있습니다. 국세청은 이러한 뒷조사를 통해 힘이 약해질 때 한 번에 타격할 수 있습니다. 하버드 대학이든 어떤 대학이든 최고의 경영 비법은 정직입니다. 인간관계나 회사에서 성공하는 최고의 비법 역시 정직입니다. 경영학 박사들이 제시하는 수많은 방법들은 모두 거짓말이며, 오직 정직만이 성공으로 이끕니다. 경영대학에서 돈을 불리고 사람들의 주머니를 빼내는 방법을 연구하는 MBA는 도둑놈 면허와 다름없습니다. 보험 상품을 만들고 이자를 불리는 전문가들도 정직이 결여되면 결국 망하게 됩니다.

2. 국가 부채와 공기업의 부실 경영
   어떤 사람도 정직 없이는 살아남을 수 없습니다. 현재 국가 부채는 한 달에 약 700억 원씩 늘어나고 있으며, 공기업 부채는 500조 원에 달합니다. 국민 한 사람당 천만 원의 빚을 지고 있는 셈입니다. 공기업 직원들은 월급과 보너스를 다 가져가면서도 회사의 성공이나 사업 운영에는 신경 쓰지 않습니다. 정직한 사람이 한 명도 없기 때문입니다. 국민의 세금으로 운영되는 공기업이 적자를 내고 엉뚱한 곳에 돈을 쓰며 해외 출장을 놀러 가는 것처럼 생각합니다. 정직한 공무원이 있어야 세금이 줄어들 텐데, 국가 공기업 부채 500조 원, 국가 외채 500조 원, 가계 부채 1,000조 원이라는 엄청난 빚더미에 앉아 있습니다. 하루에 700억 원씩 적자를 내는 것은 국민이 낸 세금을 낭비하는 행위입니다. 공기업 임원들은 유격 교육대에 가서 정신 교육을 다시 받아야 합니다. 만약 적자가 나면 월급에서 모두 삭감하고 임원 수를 줄여야 합니다. 적자 나는 사업을 하는 사람은 모두 해고해야 합니다. 지자체 부채까지 합치면 나라는 완전히 빚더미가 됩니다. 이러한 상황을 보고 있으면 울화통이 터집니다.

3. 화폐 변경과 공분(公憤)의 의미
   나중에 대통령이 되면 화폐를 변경할 것입니다. 숨겨놓은 돈은 5만 원권으로 바뀌어 버릴 것이며, 5만 원권 가진 사람들은 모두 거지가 될 것입니다. 5만 원권은 찍어내기만 하면 지하실로 들어가 버립니다. 100억 원이라 해도 라면 박스 한 박스도 안 되는 양입니다. 몇백억 원씩 숨겨놓은 사람들이 많습니다. 5만 원권을 찍어내면 이러한 돈들이 사라질 것입니다. 정직은 최고의 경영 비법이자 국가 경영의 최고 비법입니다. 이러한 현실을 보면 울화통이 치밀어 오르는데, 이를 공분(公憤)이라고 합니다. 공분은 단순히 화를 내는 것이 아니라, 젊은이들의 미래를 생각하며 영혼이 화를 내는 것입니다. 감정이 화를 내는 것은 격노이지만, 공분은 개인적인 분노가 아닙니다. 그러나 지금은 공분하는 사람이 없습니다.

4. 원칙 없는 사회와 종교의 3대 요소
   예수님도 공분했습니다. 성전 앞에서 돈을 바꾸는 사람들을 뒤엎어 버린 것은 사랑으로 이해하고 용서하는 행동이 아니었습니다. 미친 사람처럼 소리 지르고 발길로 차버린 것은 하나님이라는 분이 한 행동입니다. 제자들이 도망갈 정도로 놀랐던 그 행동이 바로 공분입니다. 하늘도 화가 나면 지진으로 모든 것을 없애버립니다. 인간들이 정직하지 못하고 하나님을 팔아 장사하기 때문입니다. 원칙 없는 정치, 양심 없는 쾌락, 노력 없는 재물, 인격 없는 교육, 도덕 없는 경제, 희생 없는 종교, 환경 없는 과학이 만연한 사회입니다.

종교의 3대 요소는 계(戒), 정(定), 혜(慧)입니다.
계(戒): 계율을 지키는 것입니다.
정(定): 바르게 사는 것입니다.
혜(慧): 남에게 베푸는 것입니다.

이 세 가지는 서로 연관되어 있습니다. 도둑질해서 베푸는 것은 정직이 빠져있기 때문에 소용이 없습니다. 정직이 없는 혜는 국민의 돈을 빼앗아 베푸는 것과 같아 죄가 됩니다. 계율을 어기고 베푸는 것은 의미가 없습니다. 계, 정, 혜는 서로 감시하며 균형을 이룹니다.

신앙의 3대 요소는 신(信), 망(望), 애(愛)입니다.
신(信): 믿음입니다.
망(望): 소망입니다.
애(愛): 사랑입니다.

믿음이 없으면서 소망과 사랑만으로는 신앙이 될 수 없습니다. 믿음, 소망, 사랑이 하나가 될 때 진정한 신앙이 됩니다. 믿음을 빼고 기도만 하는 것은 절름발이 신앙이며 결국 망하게 됩니다. 이 세 가지 요소는 서로 연결되어 있으며, 하나만 따로 떼어놓고 볼 수 없습니다.

5. 철학의 3대 요소와 영생의 조건
   정직을 모르는 사람들은 모든 것을 나에게서 배워야 합니다. 철학의 3대 요소는 공(空), 원(圓), 정(正)입니다.
   공(空): 비우는 것입니다.
   원(圓): 원만함입니다.
   정(正): 바름, 정직입니다.

이것은 인간이 기본적으로 대화할 때 가르쳐야 할 중요한 내용입니다. 자동차 운전자가 브레이크 밟는 법을 알아야 하듯이, 이것은 마음의 브레이크를 밟는 법입니다.

예수님 앞에 나타난 부자 청년은 영생을 얻고 싶어 했지만, 예수님은 그에게 가진 재물과 권세, 명예를 모두 버려야 영생을 얻을 수 있다고 말했습니다. 재물과 권세, 명예가 있는 한 영생은 존재할 수 없다고 했습니다. 청년은 결국 영생을 포기하고 돌아갔습니다. 석가모니에게도 왕이 찾아와 깨달음을 얻고 싶어 했지만, 석가모니는 왕위를 버리고 시녀들을 모두 버려야 한다고 했습니다. 권세와 명예, 돈을 모두 백성에게 나눠줘야 한다고 했습니다. 왕은 결국 깨달음을 포기했습니다.

정직은 공(비움)이 존재해야 하며, 원만함이 존재해야 합니다. 각진 것은 넘어지면 다치지만, 둥근 것은 안전합니다. 바르게 사는 것도 중요하지만, 원만한 인간관계의 테두리 안에서 발라야 합니다. 히틀러가 바르게 산다고 유럽을 없애고 세계를 제패한 것은 바른 행동이 아닙니다. 원만함이 있는 바름이 중요합니다. 이 세 가지 요소는 서로 발목을 잡고 있습니다. 정직을 쉽게 보아서는 안 됩니다. 진리 속에는 이러한 인수분해가 들어있습니다. 혜는 계를, 망과 애는 신을, 정은 공을 발목 잡고 있습니다. 정직하게 살려고 하면 가난해질 수도 있습니다. 예수님은 제자에게 재산과 권세, 명예를 하나님 앞에 바치겠다고 말로 시인하면 된다고 했습니다. 당장 바치지 않아도 됩니다. 마음속을 비우는 것이 중요합니다.

6. 21세기 우상과 가치의 3대 요소
   예수님은 “네 몸을 먼저 제사 지내라”고 했습니다. 21세기 사람들에게 자기 몸은 우상입니다. 건강을 찾고 오래 살기 위해 인생의 전부를 겁니다. 그러나 하늘은 몸을 있는 그대로 바치라고 합니다. 사람들은 자기 몸과 가족을 우상으로 삼고 있습니다. 21세기는 우상의 시대이며, 유물 사상의 한계에 도달했습니다. 온갖 물질과 권세가 우상이 되어 눈에 보이는 모든 것이 우상입니다. 이것을 초월하여 하나님과 진리, 부처님을 위해 쓰겠다는 사람이 없습니다. 자신의 몸을 하나님께 바치겠다고 말로만 하고, 그것을 좋은 일에 쓰면 됩니다. 예수님은 재산과 권세를 당장 가져오라고 하지 않았습니다. 모든 권세와 재산, 몸을 하나님을 위해 내놓겠다고 말하면 됩니다. 이것을 못 하는 것은 어리석은 일입니다.

가치의 3대 요소는 진(眞), 선(善), 미(美)입니다.
진(眞): 진리를 지키는 것입니다.
선(善): 진리를 지키면 선해 보입니다.
미(美): 선하면 아름다운 것입니다.

인간이 가치가 있으려면 진리를 지켜야 합니다. 진리를 지키지 않으면 인간의 가치는 0점입니다. 안중근 의사가 진리를 지켜 죽었을 때 우리는 그를 아름답게 봅니다. 아름다움은 진리와 일치합니다. 도둑질하고 얼굴이 잘생겼다고 아름다운 것이 아닙니다. 시골에서 농사지으며 자식을 공부시킨 할머니는 아름다워 보입니다. 진리를 지킨 자는 선하고 아름답습니다. 아름다운 자는 진리를 지킨 자여야 합니다. 이 세 가지는 서로 물고 늘어져 떨어져 있을 수 없습니다. 인간의 가치는 철학, 신앙, 종교의 3대 요소와는 다릅니다. 이 강의는 하버드 대학에서 해야 할 정도로 중요한 내용입니다.

진리냐 거짓이냐에 따라 인간의 가치가 달라집니다. 정직이냐 거짓이냐에 따라 장관이 구속되고 인생이 끝날 수 있습니다. 아름다움도 순식간에 사라집니다. 선한 것도 사라지고 악으로 변하며, 아름다움은 추함으로 바뀝니다. 진리를 향하면 진, 선, 미를 가질 수 있지만, 거짓을 향하면 악과 추함을 가져옵니다. 우리가 진리를 지키는 근본 비밀은 정직에 있습니다.

7. 육도윤회와 우주인의 경지
   인간이 왜 한평생을 지구에 와서 살아야 하고, 왜 다시 환생하는지에 대한 가치의 3대 요소가 있습니다. 환생은 지구에 거듭 태어나는 것을 말합니다. 환생보다 낮은 단계는 축생(짐승)으로 땅속에 태어나는 것입니다. 축생보다 낮은 단계는 아생(餓生)으로 미생물로 태어나는 것이며, 이는 밥 굶은 미생물과 같습니다. 아생보다 낮은 단계는 귀생(鬼生)으로 귀신으로 태어나는 것이며, 이를 지옥이라고 합니다.

환생보다 높은 단계는 상생(上生)으로 천상계에 태어나는 것입니다. 이는 지구보다 한 단계 업그레이드된 우주인으로 태어나는 것입니다. 상생보다 높은 단계는 왕생(往生)으로 극락에 태어나는 것입니다. 불교의 육도윤회는 지옥계, 아귀계, 축생계, 수라계, 인계(인간계), 천상계로 이루어져 있습니다. 육도윤회의 가장 높은 단계가 천상계입니다. 보통 죄를 지은 사람은 환생하여 지구인으로 태어나고, 점수가 좋으면 상생하여 하늘에 태어납니다. 왕생은 극락으로 가는 것을 의미합니다. 우리 인간이 가는 근본적인 목적은 왕생 극락입니다.

천상 세계를 통괄하는 분은 불교에서 아미타불이라고 하는데, 이는 기독교에서 말하는 하나님, 즉 창조주를 의미합니다. 아미타불은 비로자나불과 마찬가지로 천상계를 관장하는 자이며, 서방 세계에 계십니다.

흥미로운 점은 ‘아’자가 들어가는 단어들입니다. 백두산족은 아미타불, 아사달, 아덴(에덴), 아담, 아시아, 아프리카, 아메리카, 아버지, 아파치 등 ‘아’자가 들어가는 모든 곳이 한민족과 관련되어 있습니다. 단군이 도읍지로 삼은 아사달은 백두산에 위치했습니다. 이스라엘에서 흩어져 나온 하일라의 아버지가 바로 단군입니다. 중동의 수메르 문명은 서양의 아사달, 즉 아덴 동산에서 시작된 문명이며, 빗살무늬 토기를 사용했습니다. 이 빗살무늬 토기는 한반도 백두산 아사달에서 발견된 것과 같습니다. 수메르 문명은 우리 한민족의 문명이며, ‘수메르’는 ‘소’라는 뜻입니다.

아담의 15대손 욕단의 12번째 아들 하일라는 동방으로 왔고, 나머지 형제들은 유대로 들어가 이스라엘 민족이 되었습니다. 우리는 아시아로 와서 백두산에 도읍을 정하고 한글이라는 언어를 만들었지만, 유대인들은 언어를 만들지 못했습니다. 히브리어를 사용하는데, 이는 자신들의 원수들의 말을 쓰는 것과 같습니다. 예수가 저주를 내린 후 유대인들은 언어도 성씨도 없이 전 세계로 흩어졌습니다. 그러나 하일라는 백두산에 자리를 잡았기 때문에 성씨도 있고, 앞으로 메시아가 이곳에서 올 것입니다. 허경영이 바로 그 메시아입니다.

8. 인간이 좋아하는 단어와 위상의 3대 요소
   전 세계 여론조사에서 가장 아름다운 단어는 어머니였습니다. 두 번째는 사랑이고, 세 번째는 미소 또는 감사(Thank you)입니다. 인간은 근본적으로 받는 단어를 좋아합니다. 어머니는 자식에게 희생을 원하는 존재이며, 자식에게 무엇을 빼앗으려 하지 않습니다. 그래서 어머니라는 단어를 전 세계에서 좋아합니다. ‘아’자가 들어가는 단어 중 아버지는 인간들에게 존경을 받기 어려운 단어입니다. 그러나 그것이 우리의 족보입니다.

아미타불은 미륵불과 같은 글자입니다. 하늘에 있는 자가 인간의 몸으로 땅, 즉 한반도에 온다는 의미입니다. 우리 민족은 세계를 통일하고 바꿔야 할 대단한 민족입니다.

인간의 위상의 3대 요소는 체(體), 상(相), 용(用)입니다.
체(體): 그 사람의 몸입니다. 검찰총장이라도 미남이고 키가 크면 위상이 있어 보입니다. 이는 전생과 연관이 있습니다.
상(相): 인상이나 관상으로, 이 세상에서 바꿀 수 있는 것입니다. 아무리 못생기고 키가 작아도 귀여움을 떨거나 행동에 따라 인상이 바뀔 수 있습니다.
용(用): 그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐, 즉 행실입니다. 키가 작고 못생긴 사람이라도 물에 빠진 아이들을 구하면 위상이 올라갑니다. 행실에 따라 관상과 몸도 바뀔 수 있습니다.

이 세 가지 요소는 서로 연관되어 있습니다. 위상을 올리고 낮추는 방법을 알아야 합니다. 이 다섯 가지(종교, 신앙, 철학, 가치, 위상)를 모르면 헛사는 것입니다. 이 강의는 세계 어떤 책에도 나와 있지 않은 중요한 진리입니다. 정직은 이 모든 요소와 관계되어 있습니다. 몸이 잘생겼어도 바람을 피우면 위상이 떨어집니다. 진선미가 있는데 미만 잘나면 소용없습니다. 선이 없으면 의미가 없습니다. 이 세 가지 요소는 서로 물고 늘어져 있으며, 이 15가지(각 3대 요소의 5가지 조합)가 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트입니다.

그래서 공부할 필요가 없어요 그거를 정신 나간 놈들이 경영대학에 가서 어떻게 하면 달러를 돈을 요렇게 요렇게 해 가지고 국민들 돈 있는 사람들 호주머니를 이렇게 해 내느냐 요거 연구하는 게 MBA야 그건 도둑놈 연습하는 거야 돈을 여러 가지 방법으로 굴려 가지고 요거 어떻게 하면 이자를 불어먹는가 어떻게 하면 보험 상품을 만들어서 사람들한테 돈을 많이 끌어오는가 이거 연구하는 거 아니야 그거 연구 잘한다고 그거 박사위를 준다 이 말이야

근데 그 사람들도 보험회사 증권 회사가 증권회사 동양증권이 왜 동양증권이 이번에 문제가 생겨 이 사람들이 증권을 경영에 대해서 돈 늘리는 전문가 아니야 돈 늘리는 전문가인데 이 사람들도 이거를 결여돼 있으면 돈 만드는 회사도 망하고 한국은행도 망하는 거야 어떤 사람도 살아남을 수 없어

지금 국가가 부채가 한 달에 얼마씩 늘어나 한 달에 우리나라 공기업이 부채가 한 500조 돼요 국가 부채가 500조야 국민 한 사람당 돈이 얼마야 천만 원씩이야 그런데 아니 그러면 공기업의 부채가 500조인데 이게 한 달에 얼마씩 늘어나요 한 달에 700조씩 늘어나 지금 매월 700 이게 뭐야 얼마나 늘어난다고 700억 770억 700억 원이 늘어난다 이 말이야 평균이 평균이

공기업 부채 500조 매달 700억

그러면 이게 1년에 얼마가 늘어나 그러니까 일년에 보통 20조 몇십 조 맨날 빚인데 그거 뭐 하느냐 공기업 사람들이 월급 보너스 다 가져가고 회사 성공하는 거 사업 잘하는 거 이거 신경도 안 써요 정직한 사람이 한 명도 없어 앉아서 국민들 세금 어떻게 내는 가를 몰라요 어떻게 사업하고 어떻게 잠 안 자고 몸살 걸려가면서 사업해 가지고 돈 벌어서 세금 갖다 주는데 저거는 앉아가지고 적자나 보고 써 재끼고 해외 출장 그런 것을 장난으로 생각해요 그거 놀러가는 거야 예를 들어서

그러니까 이런 정직한 공무원이 있어 줘야 세금이 줄어들 텐데 계속 국가 공기업 부채는 500조 국민 국가 외채 외채 500조 국민의 가계부채가 1000조야 가계부채가 1000조인데 공기업 부채가 500조다

국가외채 500조
가계부채 1000조

이 뭐 하는 사람들이야 하루에 700억 국가가 하루에 걷히는 세금이 얼만지 알어 즈그가 하루에 700억씩 세금 적자 내면 국가가 국민들이 세금 거두는 돈이 얼만데 즈그는 한 달에 700억씩 흑자를 적자를 내고 있냐고 적자가 아니고 부채가 늘어나는 거야 부채 증가야 이거

그러니까 이 공기업 임원들 전부 유격교육대 불러가서 정신 교육을 다시 시켜야 만약의 경우 적자가 나면은 무조건 월급에서 다 까버려 그만큼 임원을 줄여 이러면 그 적자 낼 회사가 어디 있어 나라가 지금 망해 가는 거는 눈 뜨고 다 보고 앉아 있는 거야 대책을 안 세워요 대책을 앞으로 적자 내는 사업을 하는 사람은 전부 해고야 느그는 무슨 철가방이 아니야 앞으로 이 부서가 적자를 냈다 그럼 전부 입안자 전부 해고야 안 그러려면 노다지 적자를 내요 지자체는 지자체대로 적자 공기업 지자체 부채까지 합치면 나라가 완전 빚덩이야 빚덩이 이게 남의 살림이야 내가 말이야 이렇게 쳐다보면 눈에 불이 나요

다 이게 나중에 자식들 거지 만들고 나중에 아르헨티나처럼 우리나라가 그냥 솔빵 뺏겨 먹는 그럼 돈을 어디로 빠져 5만 원권으로 바꿔 가지고 전부 이게 뭐 다 숨기는 거야 뭐 공무원이고 뭐고 전부 다 고위직들이고 뭐고 전부 이런 사람이 수두룩해요 이거 내가 가만 안 둔다고 나중에 내가 대통령 되고 나면 화폐 변경해 돈 쳐박아 놘 거 그날부로 5만 원짜리로 바뀌어 버려

엄마 벌어 얼마나 숨겨놨던 절대 그래요 이 5만 원짜리를 바꿔주지 말라고 그래 그 5만 원짜리 가진 사람 다 망하는 거지 되는 거 아니야 정신 차려요 찍어내기만 하면 지하실로 들어가 버려 5만 원짜리가 100억이라 봐야 돈이 10억이래야 라면 박스 한 박스도 안 돼요 라면 박스 한 박스도 안 돼 그 5만 원짜리 척척 재가지고 그냥 몇백억씩 갖다가 쳐박아 놓은 사람들이 있다 이거야 5만 원짜리를 찍어내면 없어져 버려 요

그래서 여러분들은 이 정직이 최고의 경영 비법이고 국가 경영의 최고 비법이 뭐야 정직이야 정직 내가 보면 아주 그냥 울화통이 치밀어서 이걸 공분이라고 그래 공분

공분

공분은 화내는 게 아니라 이 말이야 우리의 젊은이들의 미래를 생각해서 화가 나는 거야 영혼이 화를 내는 걸 공분이라 그래 감정이 화내는 건 뭐야 격노한다고 그래 그렇지 노하는 거지만 이거는 공분이야 국가는 개인적인 분노가 아니란 말이야 근데 사람이 공분하는 사람이 없어요 여고 야고 다 그냥 그래서 굉장히 중요한 이야기 아니야

그래 예수가 말이야 예수를 갖다가 제자들이 그거 말이야 그 저 뭐야 그 저 성전 앞에서 그 돈 바꿔주는 사람들 그거 뒤집어 엎어 버리잖아 그래 예수가 사랑으로 그 사람들을 이해하고 용서해주고 그래 느그 성전 앞에서 돈 바꿔도 괜찮다 다 사랑으로 이해해 줄 수 있지 그런데 갑자기 와서 이걸 다 뒤집어 집어 던지고 소리 소리 지르고 완전히 미친 사람처럼 그게 하나님이라는 사람이 와서 한 행동이야 발길로 차버리고 그러니까 제자들이 기겁을 해가 다 도망갔어 왜 예수님이 미쳤나 보다 이래 가지고 그게 공분이야 하늘도 화가 나면 그냥 지진으로 다 없애버려 여러분들을

이거는 인간 인간들이 전부 정직이 없는 거지 하나님 팔아 가지고 장사하니까 그래 그래 그래 신은 사실은 모든 걸 원수를 사랑하라는 하나님이 직접 화를 내버려 그래서 이게 공분이라는 게 있는 거야 그래서 그 뭐라 그랬어요 저 저 우리 옛날에 뭐라 그랬어요 원칙 없는 뭐라고 그랬어요

원칙 없는 정치
양심 없는 쾌락
노력 없는 재물
인격 없는 교육
도덕 없는 경제
희생 없는 종교
환경 없는 과학

정치는 원칙 없다고 그랬지 양심 없는 뭐야 양심 없는 쾌락이지 노력 없는 재물 경제가 왜 자꾸 절로 절로 가서 앉아 절로 노래 없는 재물 뭐야 인격 없는 뭐야 인격 없는 뭐야 박 회장님
도덕 없는 뭐야 도덕 없는 경제지 희생 없는 종교 이게 종교인데 왜 인격 없는 종교라 그래 요건 박 회장님이 알아맞춰 환경 없는 뭐야 과학이야 그래 인격 없는 뭐야 박수 박수

그래서 내가 이야기해 줄게 자 여기에 종교의 3대 요소가 뭐야 종교의 3대 요소 내가 옛날에 가르쳐준 적이 있어 한 번 강의했는데 콩나물 시루 처럼 다 흘러 나가는데 아니지 비슷하긴 하다 종교의 3대요소 이거는 이야기한 거는 신앙의 3대요소야 신앙의 3대 요소는 이 신앙 자체는 이제 믿음이잖아 신앙의 3대요소는 믿음 이거 이거 믿음 신망

신앙의 3대 요소 신(信) 망(望) 애(愛)

신망애란 말이야 종교의 3대요소가 뭔지 모르겠어요 제일 제일 중요한 거야 종교도 정직한 거하고 연관이 있어 계 그래 그렇잖아 정 이게 이게 이거(정직)와 같은 뜻이야 정 계정 그다음 뭐겠어요

종교의 3대 요소 계(戒) 정(定) 혜(慧)
신앙의 3대 요소 신(信) 망(望) 애(愛)

계를 지키고 바른 삶을 살아야 돼 삐딱하게 살지 말고 그다음 남한테 베풀라 이거지 베푸는 거 하고 정직은 달라 베푸는 거하고 정직은 다르단 말이야 도둑놈이 가서 도둑질을 해 가지고 와서 막 베풀면 되나 그건 정직이 빠져있기 때문에 안 된다 이거야 반드시 정이 있는 혜가 있어야 돼

정직이 없는 혜는 국민 돈 다 뺏어 가지고 저 사람이 갑자기 한국은행을 털은 사람이야 없는 사람 오라고 해 가지고 쫙 노놔 줬다 그게 죄가 안 될까 그거는 정이 없는 혜는 소용이 없어요 계율을 어겼어 종교의 계율을 도둑질 하지 말라 어겼다 이거야 그러면 계정혜는 서로 감시하고 있는 거야

신망 믿음과 소망과 사랑이 있어야 되는데 믿음을 하나도 없으면서 소망하고 사랑만 가지고 달라고 하면 되겠나 안 되지 믿음과 소망과 사랑이 서로 하나가 될 때 신앙의 3대 요소가 되는 거야
근데 쩔뚝발이 신앙은 믿음은 빼 버리고 교회 가서 맨날 그냥 뭘 달라고 기도만 해 그러면 신이 없는 망애지 그걸 글자로서는 망하는 거야 망해 그렇잖아 이게 서로 연대가 된 거 연대 이 글자 하나가 따로 있다고 해서 신 하나만 따로 보면 안 돼 신 뒤에는 망애가 있고 망애 뒤에는 신이 있고 다 연결이 됐을 때 이루어지는 거야 혜 베풀면 좋은 일이야 도둑질 해가지고 베풀면 계를 어기고 베풀면 되나 소용없어 그래서 이것을 중요시한다 이 말이야

정직이라는 걸 잘 모르는 사람들이 있어 모르는 거는 내한테서 인수분해를 해서 배워야 돼 그다음에 철학의 3대요소는 뭐야 철학 이게 다 진리하고 연관이 있어 정직하고 연관이 철학에 우리 인간이 철학을 근본적으로 왜 김 고문님 철학의 3대요소 신 고문님이 저 기억력이 공부 안 하는 거야 하는 거야 이거는 인간이 기본적으로 남하고 대화할 때 이걸 가르쳐야 된다니까 이거 외워놔야 된단 말이야 외워야 될 게 있고 아니 자동차 운전하는 놈이 브레이크 밟는 법을 배워놔야 되잖아 최소한 이게 브레이크 밟는 법이야 그래 그래

그래 자동차 엔진은 못 고쳐도 좋아 다이아는 못 바꿔도 좋은데 브레이키 밟는 거 알아놔야 될 거 아니야 이게 마음에 브레이키를 밟는 거야 그걸 모르면 어떻게 해 앞으로 전부 다 외어놔 철학의 3대 요소 왜 바로 살려고 하는 사람 철학 신앙 믿음을 가져야 돼 종교가 필요하다 그러면 이런 게 전 세계적으로 있다 보니 여기에 대해서 우리는 알아놔야 된다 이 말이야 철학의 3대 요소가 뭐야 모르겠어요 공 원 정

종교의 3대 요소 계(戒) 정(定) 혜(慧)
신앙의 3대 요소 신(信) 망(望) 애(愛)
철학의 3대 요소 공(空) 원(圓) 정(正)

여기도 보면 철학이 왜 존재하냐 3대 요소가 여기 바를 정 자 있어 없어 이 바를 정 자가 빌 공 자가 있는 바를 정 자여야지 돈을 실컷 번 젊은이가 예수 앞에 나타나서 예수님 내를 영생 하나 주세요 그래 영생 그래 내 영생 주겠다 너 영생을 가져가려면 네가 번 돈을 다 버려야 공을 해야 된다 공을 니가 그 재물하고 니가 가진 재물과 니가 가진 권세와 니가 가진 명예가 있는 한은 니는 영생이 존재할 수 없다 너 속에는 절대 영생이라는 선물을 너는 받을 수가 없느니라 그러니까 이거를 택할래 이걸 택할래 하니까 아이 골치 아픈데요 다음에 올게요 선생님 죄송합니다 가 버려 성경에 나오지 내가 지어내는 말이 아니야

석가모니한테도 이런 사람이 나라의 임금이 와 가지고 이랬어요 부처님 내가 부처님이 좀 되게 나도 좀 깨달아서 부처로 나중에 가게 좀 도와주세요 하니까 왕을 버려야 돼 그 자기 시녀들 다 버려야 돼 그거 얼마나 힘든 일이야 권세 버려 명예 버려 돈 가지고 있는 거 다 없는 백성한테 다 노놔줘 아니 임금이 가만히 생각해 보니까 골치 아프게 됐거든 석가모니 보고 아 부처님 그거는 좀 곤란한데 내 절에 시주는 잔뜩 하겠소 시주하는 그거는 아무 필요 없어 암만 해도 당신이 이거를 몸속에 가지고 있는 한은 당신에게 영생은 들어갈 수가 없다 그래서 정은 정직은 이게 있어야 되는 거야 공이 존재해야 되는 것이 그러면 원만한 것이 존재해 줘야 원만해지는 거야 둥글어진다 이 말이야

둥그름만 이게 지금 이거는 뭐야

□

각이 있어서 사람이 여기 넘어지면 다쳐요 이게 어린애가 자빠지면 찍혀 이거는 뭐야 이거야

○

원이 돼 있으니까 공원정이 이거(공) 없는 정은 존재할 수가 없어 이거(원) 없는 이거(정) 존재할 수가 없어 내가 바르게 산다고 그러고 즈그 엄마를 갖다가 잘못한다고 엄마를 뚜드러패면 그게 바르게 사는 거야

원만한 거는 뭐야 가족 관계가 있는 거야 어머니와 내가 그러니까 아무리 바른 거도 중요하지만 원만한 인간관계의 테두리 안에서 발라야 되는 거지 그래 히틀러가 바르게 산다고 유럽을 다 없애버려 세계를 가지고 막 다 죽여 이거는 바르게 하는 게 아니야 원만함이 있는 바름 이것이 서로 발목을 잡고 있는 거야 이렇게 근데 어떤 사람은 톡 떼어 버리고 나를 영생을 주시오 어림도 없는 말씀 안 돼 그러니까 정직을 여러분은 너무 쉽게 보지 말아요 내가 진리를 강조할 때 진리는 이런 인수분해가 들어있어요 진리 속에는 진리가 그냥 진리가 아니야

항상 혜는 계를 발목을 잡고 있고 망이나 애는 신을 발목을 잡고 있고 정은 공을 발목을 잡고 있어 내가 정직하게 살려고 하다 보면 내가 가난해야 되는 거야 그래 그래서 예수님이 그러잖아 제자가 가고 나서 그 사람 가고 나서 저 젊은이가 어리석다 왜 어리석으냐 그러면 내가 예수님 말씀대로 내 재산과 내 권세와 내 명예를 하나님 앞에 바치겠습니다 말로 시인하면 되는 거야 당장 안 받쳐도 돼 무슨 말인지 알지 내가 앞으로 내 권세가 모든 것을 하나님을 위해서 쓰겠습니다 말로만 해도 니 재산을 내가 달라고 하냐 뭐 하냐 예수님이 하는 말이야 저놈이 지 마음속을 비우면 되는데 먼저 지 마음속에 못 놓겠다고 요 마음을 가지고 있는 거야 무슨 말인지 알겠어

네 몸을 예수가 뭐라고 네 몸을 먼저 제사 지내라 그래 그래 이거는 내가 받는다 이거야 자기 몸을 먼저 바쳐야 되는 거야 자기 몸을 위해서 자기 몸이 요새 21세기 사람들은 자기 몸이 뭐가 돼 있어 자기 몸이 자기 몸이 21세기 사람들에게는 자기 몸이 뭐야 우상이란 말이야 우상

우상

우상 자기 몸이 우상이 돼 있어요 어떻게 하면 건강을 찾을까 오래 살까 이거 인생의 전부를 걸어요 있는 사람 그런데 하늘은 내 몸을 바치라는 거야 몸을 있는 대로 그냥 바치라 그런데 사람들은 자기 몸이 하늘이 하늘의 신에게 그게 우상이 돼야 될 텐데 자기 몸이 우상이 돼 있고 가족이 우상이 돼 있는 거야

그래서 21세기는 우상의 시대다 우상의 시대다 이게 유물 사상이야 현재 이 유물론은 이제 한계가 왔어요

유물론(唯物論)

온갖 물질과 권세의 우상이 막 수둑해 나가면 전부 눈에 뵈는 게 우상이야 그거를 초월하겠다 그걸 하나님을 위해서 진리를 위해서 부처님을 위해서 쓰겠다 이런 사람이 없어요 박 회장이 기침이 박자를 맞춰주네 안 맞춰도 되는데 무슨 말인지 이햐 가죠 여러분들의 우상이 뭐라고 자기 몸 유물 옳지 이게 지금 우상이야 그래서 이 우상을 하나님한테 바치겠다 말로만 하고 그것을 하나님한테 좋은 일에 자꾸 쓰면 되는 거야 당장 예수가 니 재산 다 가지고 와 이거 아니란 말이야 니 권세를 가져와 이게 아니라 모든 권세와 재산과 내 몸을 하나님 위에 내놓겠습니다 예수님 말씀은 그렇게 하세요 그렇게 하겠습니다 앞으로 그럼 되는 거야 그거를 못하겠대 좀 복잡해서 나중에 해보겠대 어리석지

그러면은 가치의 3대 요소가 뭐야 이게 중요한 거야 이게 어서 와요 어서 와요 내 강의는 첫 번째가 굉장히 중요해요 첫 번째 내가 화두를 꺼낼 때 굉장히 중요하다 종교의 3대 요소는 계와 정과 혜인데 신앙의 3대 요소는 믿음과 소망과 사랑이야 철학의 3대 요소는 공과 원과 정이다 그러면 정직의 진리에서 정직에 진리에서 바르다는 것은 뭐를 기본으로 해야 된다 비우는 거 그래 안 그래 사랑은 뭘 기본으로 한다 믿음 자 남한테 베푸는 거는 정직하게 버려야 되는 거지 계 이와 같이 꼭 이 세 개가 발목을 잡고 있어요 어떤 사람들은 철학은 정직이다 이렇게 얘기하면 틀리는 거야 철학은 비우는 것과 정직 사이에 있는 거야

이렇게 믿음과 사랑이라는 건 믿음과 연관이 있어 소망과 베푸는 것은 정직하게 벌어 가지고 바른 데다가 써야 돼 도둑놈들 한테 가서 밥 사 주는 거 그거 좀 곤란하잖아 그래 그래 그러니까 계율을 정직하게 돈을 벌어서 바른 곳에다가 베풀어야 돼 그러니까 계정혜 여기서 요게 없애버리니까 돼 안 돼 안 돼 나쁜 놈한테 돈을 막 대주면 되겠어 테러 하는 놈들한테 돈 내주면 되겠어 베풀면 되겄어 그러니까 요게 꼭 끼는 거야 이건 지켰다 하더라도 이걸 또 안 지키면 또 이게 죽는 거야 그래 그래 이게 내가 왜 3대 요소를 중요시 하느냐면 항상 이런 것이 세 가지를 물고 늘어져요

우주 : 육도 윤회에서 환생(還生)보다 한 단계 높은 우주인은 상생(上生, 天上)으로 천상계에 태어난다 그 위가 왕생(往生)으로 극락(極樂)이라 한다 이 천상세계를 통괄하는 분이 불교에서는
아미타불(阿彌陀佛)이라고 그러는데 말하자면 하나님이란 소리다 기독교에서 말한 하나님 그러니까 저게 창조주다 아미타불이 비로자나불이나 마찬가지다

가치의 3대 요소 인간이 왜 한 평생을 지구에 와서 살아야 되느냐 왜 또다시 환생하느냐 환생 환생이 뭐야 환생이 거듭나는 거지 이거는 어디에 거듭나는 거야 지구에 거듭나는 거를 말해 환생 환생보다 더 높은 게 뭐야

환생(還生) (지구)

저번에 내가 한번 이야기했는데 자 환생보다 낮은 거는 뭐야 축생이지 축생 이거는 뭐야 땅속에 들어가는 거지 땅 속에 태어나는 거야

축생(畜生) (지구)

축생보다 낮은 거는 뭐야 축생보다 낮은 거는 축생보다 낮은 거 있잖아 목소리가 어떤 다른 우주에서 오는 목소리 같아 이거보다 낮은 목소리 뭐지 이 귀(鬼)생인데 이거를 다르게 이야기할 때는 아(餓) 자를 써야 돼

아생(餓生) (미생물) 땅속

이거 이거 이거 아귀 축생이라고 이게 이 아귀 귀 자거든 이렇게 밥 식 자를 써 가지고 나 아 자를 써 줘야 된단 말이야 이게 귀생이야 이거는 밥 못 먹는 밥 굶은 미생물 있잖아 미생물 미생물로 태어나는 거지 그 미생물보다 더 낮은 단계에 태어나는 게 뭐야 귀신으로 가는 거야 귀생이야 이거는 귀신으로 태어나는 거지

귀생(鬼生) (귀신)

그래서 이걸 지옥이라고 여기서부터 이걸 지옥이라고 그래 자 땅속이잖아 이게 요게 땅속이야 축생은 땅속이 아니야 이거는 땅속이고 이거는 축생은 지구에 그대로 있는 거고 그다음에 이거보다 더 위에 올라가는 거 환생보다 한 단계 높은 거

상생(上生) 천상(天上)

우주인 우주인이 맞아 우주인으로 태어나는 거야 그걸 상생이라고 그래 상생 이거는 천상에 태어나는 거야 그러니까 지구보다 한 단계 업그레이드된 거 불교에서 말하면 육도윤회 육도윤회가 육도윤회가 이 육도윤회를 보면은 맨 밑바닥에 인간으로 태어나는 게 불교에서는 뭐야

아귀계(餓鬼界) 축생계(畜生界)

아귀잖아 귀신하고 이 버러지로 태어나는 아귀 이 아귀 아귀계가 있어요 아귀들이 살아가는 세계가 이 우주야 아귀계 그다음에 무슨 계가 있어 축생계가 있지 근데 요 맨 밑에가 아귀계 더 앞에가 뭐가 있냐면은 지옥계가 있어 지옥계가 지옥계가 이렇게 있잖아 지옥 아귀 축생이야

지옥계(地獄界) 아귀계(餓鬼界) 축생계(畜生界) 수라계(修羅界) 인계(人界) 천상계(天上界)

그러면 이 지옥계에 속하는 것들이 이것들이야 그다음에 축생 다음에 뭐가 있어 수라가 있단 말이야 수라 그다음 인간이야 인계가 있어 인간계 인계 이게 수라계 그다음에 여기가 뭐가 있냐면 여섯 번째 천상계가 있단 말이야 이 천상계 이게 하나 둘 서이 너이 다섯 여섯 육도윤회 이에 육도윤회의 제일 높은 단계가 요거야 천상에 가서 태어나는 거야

그러면 죄를 좀 보통 죄를 좀 지은 사람은 환생 지구로 태어나 지구인들이 근데 여기서 점수가 조금 좋으면 어디로 가 상생 하늘에 가서 그 위에서 태어납니다 그래서 이거는 천상에 난다 그 위가 뭐예요 그 위가

왕생(往生) 극락(極樂)

하늘나라에 태어나는 거야 왕생이라고 그래 그래서 왕생은 우리가 다른 말로 극락이라고 그래 왕생극락 우리가 왕생극락 한다고 그러지 극락으로 가는 거를 왕생이라고 그래 지상에 태어나면 환생이라 그래 귀신으로 태어나면 귀생이 되는 거야 미물로 태어나면 이런 아생이 되고 그다음에 짐승으로 태어나면 축생이 되고 이게 종점이야 그래 우리 인간이 가는 근본적인 목적은 여기 가는 거야 여기 가는 건데 꼭 어디를 거쳐야 돼 상생을 거쳐서 가는 거야 한 단계 더 천상 세계가 있어요 그래 천상세계를 통괄하는 분이 누구야 불교에서

아미타불(阿彌陀佛) 하나님

 아미타  아미타불이라고 그러지  아미타불  여러분이 여기서 꼭 알아놔야 돼  여기서 꼭 알아놔야 될 게 천상세계를 관장하는 저 아미타불이 말하자면 하나님이란 소리야  기독교에서 말한 하나님  그러니까 저게 창조주야  아미타불이 비로자나불이나 마찬가지고 이게 이 아미타불이 천상계에 관장하는 자지  그래 서방세계로 간다 이 말이야  그래 서방세계로 가는 데가 아미타불 아미타불이 계시다  

그래서 재밌는 게 아미타불 잘 봐요 우리가 백두산족이잖아 예 백두산족은 아미타불 아사달이 백두산 도읍지지 잘 봐요

아미타불
아사달
아덴 (에덴)
아담
아시아
아프리카
아메리카
아버지
아파치

이 아 아덴 동산이야 에덴이 아니야 발음이 잘못된 거야 그리고 뭐가 나와 아담이 나와 요 그리고 아시아 아프리카 아메리카 아버지 아파치 모든 이 아 자가 들어간다 이 말이야 아가 들어가는 거는 전부 한민족이야 한민족이 관계되는 곳이라 이 말이야 그러면은 아미타의 아미타불과 아덴과 아담과 아사달 아사달은 누가 했지 단군이 했지 단군의 도읍지야 아사달의 위치가 어디야 아사달 위치가 어디야

아사달 위치가 이게 백두산 천지면 이렇게 이렇게 이렇게 이렇게 4개 강이 돼 있잖아 그러면 아사달이 백두산이야 여기 심양이 있는 데 그러면 여기에 와서 도움을 잡은 자가 아사달이라고 이름을 지었어 단군이 이분이 바로 이스라엘에서 흩어져 나온 누구라고 하일라 하일라 하일라버지야 창세기에 나오지 그러면 이 하일라버지가 우리 저쪽 중동에 여기에서 일어난 문명이 무슨 문명이야 여기서 일어난 문명 유럽에 있는 에덴 동산에서 일어난 문명이 무슨 문명이야

아니야 아니 그거 모르냐고 이 서해 서양의 아사달 서양의 아덴 에덴 아덴 아덴에서 일어나는 문명이 있잖아 홍산문명은 홍산문명은 거기서 한번 이동해가 일어난 문명 중국에 와 가지고 일어난 문명이야 조 교수 무슨 문명이야 소하고 관계됐다고 그랬어 소 소하고 이름이 소를 다른 나라 말로 한 거야

스메르 문명

스메르 문명이란 말이야 스메르 문명 알겠어 이 수메르 문명이 여기서 쓰는 빗살 토기 빗살 토기가 우리 한반도에 아사달에서 발견된 백두산 아사달에서 발견된 뭐하고 같애 빗살 토기와 같단 말이야

빗살 토기

그리고 스메르 문명이 우리 한민족의 문명이야 스메르가 소란 뜻이야 그래서 이걸 굉장히 중요시 해야 돼 그래서 이 스메르 문명이 빗살 토기를 썼는데 이게 아사 이 아덴에서 시작됐단 말이야 그래 이것이 여기서 일어난 스메르 문명이 아덴 이 아덴 동산에서 일어난 이 문명이 결국 백두산으로 오는 거지 백두산도 똑같이 생겼잖아
그렇게 여기와 같이 그 대신 거기와 차이가 있어

여기에는 이 문명을 일으킬 때 제일 여기 백두산과 차이점이 유대인과 우리가 한 족속이잖아 그러면 욕단에 아담의 12시 아담의 아담에 아담의 15번째 15대손 욕단의 12번째 아들이야 누구야 이 하일라가 이 하일라가 동방으로 온 거야 나머지 열 13명의 형제는 한 명이 뺐으니까 12명의 형제는 유대로 들어간단 말이야 그지 이스라엘로 그래서 이스라엘 민족이 돼요

15번째 욕단의 12번째 아들 하일라

그때 이 사람들은 우리는 아시아로 와서 백두산에서 도읍을 정한 우리는 언어를 만들었어 우리는 한글이라는 언어를 만들었는데 얘들은 언어를 못 만들었어 지금까지 지금까지 유대인이 언어가 없어요 히브리 말이야 자기들하고 원수 원수들의 말을 우리가 일본 말을 쓰고 있는 거와 똑같아 요 자기들을 잡아 자기들 나라를 침공해서 뺏어간 그 일본 사람 언어를 유대인이 지금 쓰고 있어 세계에서 제일 머리 좋다는 사람들이

그러니까 우리는 이 하나 하늘에서는 이 서방에 이 에덴을 죽이는 거야 거기를 다시 가질 않아 동방의 에덴 백두산으로 메시아가 오는 거야 백두산 쪽으로 이동하는 거야 여기는 세계 최고의 언어를 만들어 놨어 그리고 얘들은 성 씨가 있어 없어 성 씨와 성 씨와 말이 없는 민족이 돼 있어 이걸 예수가 저 예수를 목 따고 나서부터 저주가 내린 거야 언어도 못 만들게 하고 성 씨도 못 만들게 하고 그래 아주 무산 없애버려 전 세계로 흩어 버려 요 이런 버림을 받았지만 이 하일라는 욕단의 12번째 아들은 우리나라 쪽으로 와 가지고 백두산에 자리를 잡았기 때문에 성도 주고 앞으로 메시아가 여기서 오는 거야 그래서 허경영이가 와 있는 거야 와서 이게 지금 여기 지역에서부터 시작이 돼 있는 거지 무슨 말인지 이해 가죠

그래서 아담이나 아덴이나 아사달이나 아미타불이나 아시아나 아프리카 아메리카 아버지 아파치 아이슬란드가 세계에서 제일 큰 얼음섬들이 그래 그래 모든 거는 아 자가 다 붙어 있어 알겠어 그래서 아버지가 나오는 거고 아빠가 나오는 거야 그런데 세계에서 제일 아름다운 전 세계에서 여론조사를 해봤더니 제일 아름다운 단어가 뭐야 뭐라고 그랬지 어머니지 제일 아름다운 단어가 어머니 박수 박수

1 어머니
2 사랑

두 번째 아름다운 단어 두 번째 사랑이야 세 번째 뭐였게 아니 내가 힌트를 주는데도 몰라 아버지가 아니야 아버지는 굉장히 싫어하는 단어야 아버지 아버지는 상당히 싫어하는 단어야 아니 내가 시간을 주는데도 생각을 못 하겠어 인간들이 제일 좋아하는 단어를 순서대로 뽑아 봤어 여기 요게 뭐 뭐면 좋겠어 여러분 아니 비슷한 것도 없어 마누라를 좋아하는 사람이 30명 될라 이거 아버지가 아니라니까 아버지를 사람들이 싫어해 아니 그래 하나도 한 사람도 못 맞춰요 비슷한 말이 나왔어

1 어머니 (주는)
2 사랑 (주는)
3 웃음 미소 Thank you

미소야 그래서 이걸 다른 말로 감사 땡큐 땡큐 Thank Thank you 탱큐 감사 그래서 땡큐 감사합니다 하면 좋아해 이런 언어를 인간들이 좋아한다는 거야 그러면은 어머니는 뭐야 어머니는 나한테 주는 사람 그지 사랑 나한테 주는 거 이렇게 인간은 근본적으로 받는 단어를 좋아한다는 거야 받는 거 어머니한테 실컷 받았잖아 그래 그래 그러니까 어머니는 어머니는 자기 자식이 집도 절도 없이 어머니가 시골에서 남의 집에 일 해주고 늙은 할머니가 돼 가지고 이제 있는데도 자기 자식이 다섯 명이 서울에 있는데도 자식 집에 가서 며느리 눈치를 며느리하고 아들 싸움 안 붙이려고 아예 혼자 있겠다는 거야 그래 있는데도 맨날 자식 걱정을 해 근데 자식들은 어머니 걱정을 별로 안 해

그러니까 부모는 자식한테 가서 신세를 안 지는 것을 낙으로 생각해 뭐 자식이 뭐 주는 것도 그렇게 좋아하지 않지 그러니까 누가 자식한테 신세 벌리고 자식 키우는 사람이 없잖아 그러니까 어머니라는 단어는 너무 희생적이야 희생적이야 어느 어머니가 자식한테 가서 며느리하고 자식하고 재밌게 살게 놨두지 거기 가서 훼방을 놓고 싶었어 박 회장님은 자식 집에 가서 그렇게 살고 싶어 그래서 나중에 골방을 하나 구해서 살아도 절대 자식한테 가서 안 살고 싶은 거야

사람이 그런 게 있어요 그러니까 인간이 이렇게 어머니라는 것은 희생을 원하는 거지 자식한테 뭘 뺏어 먹고 싶어서 키우는 게 아니란 말이야 그러니까 이 단어를 전 세계에서 좋아하는 거야 어머니 어머니를 좋아하는거야 그래서 이 어머니를 좋아하는데 여기서 아가 들어가는 단어는 아버지 맞아 맞아 아버지란 말이야 이거는 이분은 인간들에게 존경을 받기에는 틀린 거지 그렇지만 그게 그게 우리의 족보야 족보가 이렇게 돼 있다는 거야 그래서 우리가 아 자가 붙었다 그래서 아미타불 그래 이게 아미타불이 바로 이 미 자가 미륵불이야

아미타불(阿彌陀佛) 아미타불

미륵이 이거는 아시아 때 아 자 아시아가 아니라 우리가 아 이 한반도 아시아라는 이 아 자 있잖아

아(亞) 아(阿)

이 아 자를 이렇게 쓴단 말이야 예 여기에 한반도를 말해 한반도가 한반도에 미륵이 온다 이 소리거든

그래서 미륵이 바로 아미타불이야 그래서 미륵이라는 거 저 똑같애 글자가 미륵이라는 것이나 아미타나 똑같은 글자야 이거 이거 미륵 그래서 하늘에 있는 자가 땅에 온다 인간의 몸으로 그게 한반도에 온다 그래서 그거는 참고로 여러분들이 알아놔야 돼 그래서 내가 이야기하는 것은 가치 이 우리 인간의 가치는 우리가 이런 민족으로 와 있어 대단한 민족이야 우리가 세계를 통일해야 되고 세계를 바꿔야 할 민족이 틀림없어요
그런데 우리는 모르고 앉아 있는 거야 내가 와서 이제 가르쳐주는 거야 그래서 내가 여기 왔다는 것 자체가 이미 이게 시작이 됐어

그럼 우리 가치는 뭐야 우리 가치는 뭐가 돼야 돼 가치의 3대 요소 김 고문님 오늘 김 고문님 많이 오기 때문에 이제 아니 가치의 3대 요소를 못 외우면 안 돼 인간이 살아가는 아니 아픈 사람 박수 좀 쳐주려고 그랬더니 틀렸어 자 가치의 3대 요소를 꼭 알아놔요 진선미야

가치의 3대 요소 진(眞) 선(善) 미(美)

자 그러면은 왜 이것이 굉장히 중요하냐 하면은 진리를 지켜야 하는 거야 인간이 가치가 있으려면 진리를 안 지키면 인간의 가치는 빵점이야 진리를 지키면 선해 보이고 선하면은 아름다운 거야 아까 박 회장님이 와서 강조한 거 그거야

진리를 왜 지켜야 되냐 이거야 선하기 위해서 왜 선해지냐 아름답기 위해서 이게 인간의 가치야 맞아 맞아 아니 안중근이가 진리를 지켜서 죽였다 그러면 우리가 안중근이를 아름답게 볼 수 있잖아 이렇게 아름다움은 진리와 일치되어 있어 진리를 벗어난 거는 아름다운 게 아니다 박 회장닝 저 사람이 도둑질했어 근데 얼굴이 잘생겼어 그거 아름답다고 그러나 아니란 말이야 아무리 할머니가 쭈그러져 있고 손이 막 이렇고 이래도 그 할머니가 시골에서 농사 지으면서 자식을 8남매를 공부를 시켰다 대학을 보냈다 그러면 그 사람이 아름다운 거야

이게 뭐냐면은 진리를 지킨 자는 선하고 아름다워요 그리고 아름다운 자는 진리를 지킨 자라야 돼 이게 꼭 요게 요렇게 물고 늘어져 톡 떨어져 있을 수가 없는 거야 내가 그걸 오늘 가르쳐주는 거야 그러면 인간이 생존하는 가치 우리의 인간의 가치는 철학하고 신앙의 3대 요소가 종교의 3대 요소하고 달라요 확연히 굉장히 중요한 말이야 내가 오늘 이 강의하는 건 하버드 대학에서 해야 되는 거야 사실은 여러분들한테 가르쳐주는 거야 비밀을 하버드 대학생들은 이런 강의를 들을 수가 없어요 그런 교수가 없으니까 세계적인 교수가 뭐 우리 한반도에 와 있지 뭐 미국에 가나

가치 인간 가치의 3대 요소를 아는 대학 교수가 미국에 없어 그래 그래 진리인데 요거를 진리를 이게 뭐야 거짓 위 자야

진(眞) 선(善) 미(美)
위(僞)

진리냐 거짓이냐에 따라서 인간 가치가 달라져 버려 진리 여기 정직이냐 거짓이냐 따라서 갑자기 장관이 구속되는 거야 돈 먹었다 그럼 그 사람의 인생이 그걸로 끝이야 갑자기 무슨 총장 아이고 그다음이 애를 낳았다 위 그냥 그래 끝인 거야 아름다움이 그동안은 아름다워 보였지 순식간에 사라져 버려 이놈이 잘못되면 이게 다 사라져 버려 순식간에 선한 것도 없어져 버려 그 사람이 정의의 사도같이 보이게 해 총장이

그러니까 그 사람이 뭐 좀 잘못됐다 이러면 이게 사라져 버려 같이 사라져 요놈만 사라지는 게 아니야 그래서 선은 뭘로 변해버러 그러면 악으로 바뀌어 버려 그 다음 맞아 맞아 이게 거짓이 될 경우에는 이 사람의 인생은 악으로 바뀌어 버려

진(眞) 선(善) 미(美)
위(僞) 악(惡) 추(醜)

그 다음에 여기 악으로 바뀌어 버리면 또 여기는 뭐로 바뀌어 추로 바뀌어 버려 추악한다 아주 이거는 추악한 귀신이다 이 소리야 추 자 아주 추악할 추 자야 그러면은 미와 추는 반대돼 미는 아름다운 거고 이거는 추한 거야 추한 거

자 그러면은 진리를 향하면 진과 선과 미를 가질 수가 있는데 거짓을 향하면 악과 추함을 가지고 와 저 사람 정말 못된 놈이야 이렇게 된다 이 말이야 그래서 거짓을 하면 되겠어 우리가 뭐 진리를 어떻게 해서 지킨다 그거의 근본 비밀을 내가 이야기해 주는 거야 이 정직에 대해서 내가 강의해 주는 거야 이거는 세계적인 명강의야 세계적인 그다음에 그렇게 되면 인간의 위상의 3대 요소가 나와 위상의 3대 요소가 뭐야 잊어버렸어 김 고문님은 외어놨겠지 김 고문님 눈이 좀 약간 이상해서 물 한 잔 잡서 조금 잡수면 기침이 좀 덜 자 내가 드릴게 내가 물을 기침 자 좀 잡서 지정의가 아니지

그 사람의 가치와 위상은 다르단 말이야 검찰총장을 바라볼 때 가치와 검찰총장의 위상이 달라요 위상과 가치를 혼돈하면 안 돼 굉장히 중요한 거야 이게 인상이나 관상에서 나오는 걸 위상이라 그래 이것도 하나의 상이란 말이야 상인데 위상의 3대 요소 이거는 사람이 이렇게(僞惡醜) 되면 위상이 내려가 안 내려가 내려가잖아 그러면 가서 도망가 버려 못 뽑아 어머니 제사도 돈 없는 사람 어머니 묘도 못 만들어줘 그러면 그 시체실에 있는 사람이 내가 가져가면 얼마나 나한테 고맙게 생각해 죽은 사람한테도 은혜가 왔다 갔다 해요 사는 사람한테만 은혜가 오는 게 아니야 귀신도 은혜를 갚아요 결초보은 한다고 그러잖아 풀을 묶어서 장군을 돕잖아 풀을 묶어서

자 위상의 3대 요소 이제 꼭 알아야 되겠지 뭐야 누가 나한테 500만 원 해 줘 내가 500만 원 가지고 갈게 박 회장님 잘 들었놔요 이게 관상 보는 거야 우리 인상은 교수가 모르면 어떻게 해 체 상 상은 관상이야 상 인상 관상

위상의 3대 요소 체(體) 상(相)

체는 뭐야 그 사람의 몸 몸 몸이 위상이 있게 생겼냐 검찰총장이라도 미남으로 생겨 가지고 키가 크고 잘 생겨서 그 위상이 있어 보여 안 보여 체상이 벌써 그 사람의 위상을 가지고 있단 말이야 그런데 그 총장이 되게 못생겼다 그러면 그 같은 총장이라도 잘못한 것도 없는데 굉장히 얕잡아 보여 그걸 우리는 위상이라고 그래 그거는 전생과 연관이 있단 말이야 전생에 자기가 가지고 오는 것이 있다 이 말이야

그러면 상은 뭐야 상은 이 세상에서 자기가 바꾸는 거야 이거는 인상으로서 바꿀 수 있는 거야 이걸 관상과 인상이라고 그래 상 이건 바꿀 수 있는 거야 상은 아무리 못생기고 키가 작아도 귀여움을 떨 수 있잖아 그래야 못생긴 주제에 소리 질러 싸면 괜히 점수가 깎이잖아 그러니까 이거는 상은 체에 따라서 꼴 맞춰서 안경 쓰는 건데 좀 바꿔야지 상 이게 인간의 위상의 3 자기를 나타내는 3가지 위상의 방법이 몸 인상 마지막에 뭐겠어 이게 심상 관상이 다 들어가는 게 상이야 전체가 들어가요 요거 꼭 알아놔 용이야

위상의 3대 요소 체(體) 상(相) 용(用)

그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐 아니 키도 조그맣고 못생긴 사람이 물에 뛰어들어와서 물에 빠진 7명을 살려냈다 그러면 그 사람이 행동이 용이야 용 행실 행실 행실에 따라서 이 사람의 위상이 올라가고 내려간다 이 말이야 행실에 따라서 관상이 바뀌어 안 바뀌어 바뀐단 말이야 몸은 몸도 행실에 따라서 바꿀 수 있어 없어 이게 다 연관이 이놈이 이놈을 물고 늘어지는 거야 이렇게 이렇게 그러니까 여러분은 위상을 올리고 낮추는 걸 자기가 알아야 되는데 그걸 모르고 이 5가지를 모르고 세상을 사는 건 헛사는 거야

종교의 3대 요소 계(戒) 정(定) 혜(慧)
신앙의 3대 요소 신(信) 망(望) 애(愛)
철학의 3대 요소 공(空) 원(圓) 정(正)
가치의 3대 요소 진(眞) 선(善) 미(美)
위상의 3대 요소 체(體) 상(相) 용(用)

여러분 헛사는 거야

그래서 이게 관상은 우리 조 교수가 보는 관상이 사실 여기 들어 있지 체상용을 말하는 거야 어떻게든 채를 바꾸고 이 체는 좀 바꾸기 어려운 거지 체와 못생긴 얼굴이지만 상을 바꾸고 용을 바꾸면 체가 뽀뽀해요 못생긴 애가 외국에 가서 탁구 1등 해 가 와 봐 챔피언 되가 사람들이 그냥 그 사람을 무슨 신인 모시듯이 해요 체가 바뀌어 버려요 못생겼는데도 맞아 맞아 그래서 이게 이놈이(用) 이놈을 물고 들어간단 말이야 이놈(相)을 잘하면 이게 또 물고 들어가 섞여 버려 이걸 잘 아는 사람이 돼야 위상을 변화시키는 자지

그러니까 이게 종교와 신앙과 철학과 가치와 위상은 우리 인생에 정직하게 사는 근본이야 근본 다 봤으면 이제 박수를 쳐야지 근데 적어 놓고 나면 아무도 아니지 그런데 모르겠지 무서운 말이야 이게 지금 내가 이렇게 이야기하지만 이게 우리나라 철학 교수들이 모르는 거야 이런 걸 기본을 안 가지고 있어요 내가 그나마 하늘에서 와서 메시아니까 이걸 이야기하지 메시아 아닌 자가 뭘 알고 이런 이야기를 해 모르는데 몰라 세계 어떤 책에도 나와 있지가 않아 굉장히 중요한 거다 이 말이야

정직이 뭔지 알겠죠 이런 정직이 다 계를 지키고 정 믿음이나 이게 다 정직하고 관계 있어 없어 다 이거 다 이거 정직하고 관계 있어 없어 아무리 몸이 잘생기면 뭐 해 어디 가서 바람을 피웠다 그러면 이게 위상이 확 가는 거야 그래서 여기는 진선미가 있는데 미만 잘나면 뭐 해 선이 없는데 소용이 없어요 이게 다 연관 물고 늘어져 이 3개가 물고 늘어져 이 3개가 몇 가지 15가지 이 15가지가 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트다

스크립트 2

“You said fine, you win, but it feels like I didn’t win anything. I don’t believe it. Yeah, Sir confirms that this won’t happen. When it’s the world, give up the world.

The world beckons. It’s to cause a good situation for people who has nothing to do with the world, which is making us diseased continuously these days and name the terms. But… it seems difficult to answer this question.

This SciO pronounces Humanism as Hmm. Today’s lecture is titled… The question is a question. The person who answers the question…

What is the world’s best business? Heo-gyeong-yeong Gong-jong-gong-yeong. The Eastern groups and other groups do not know the secret to the best performance of each company. The best secret is that the chairman of the…” 효성그룹 조홍재가 잘못했어. 세금을 왜 많이 내야 돼? 권력하고 가까이 있으면 세금을 좀 깎아줘야지.

국제 사회가 다 알아요. 가능하면은 그 회사가 오히려 이렇게 걷어 가지고 빡빡하게 해가지고 말이야, 세금을 더 높이 내야지. 정치적인 어떤 그런 걸로 더 이상 따라가지 못해. 그들은 그걸 가지고 있다.

나중에 파티가 끝나는 게 낫다. 그냥 그들이 아니라. 80조 원 적자를 봤다. 그럼 이걸 갖다 분식 해결해 가지고 계속 2012년까지 이걸 계속 매달 놀아서 까버리고 이 입금이 하나도 없다.

적으면 안 된다. 그러면 국세청에서 그거 좋게 먹었어? 뒤쪽 살 거 뻔한 거고 나중에 한방에 힘이 약할 때 그냥 때리는 거란 말이야. 힘이 싫을 때는 못 건드리지. 그래서 여러분 이게 하버드 대학이든 무슨 대학이든 최고의 경영 비법은 정직이야.

최고로 성공하는 비법은 또 뭐예요? 최고로 성공하는 비법 정직이라니까 그걸 여러분들이 이 인간들이 전부 모르고 있는 거예요. 최고로 인간관계에서 성공하는 거나 회사에서 성공하는 것도 최고로 성공하는 방법은 아무리 경영학 박사들이 뭐 열 가지 방법이 있다 뭐 그거. 전부 거짓말이야. 무조건 정직이면 성공하는 거예요, 나중에 가서.

그래서 공부할 필요가 없어요, 그거를. 정신 안 온 놈들이 경영대학에 가서 어떻게 하면 달러를, 돈을 이렇게 이렇게 해가지고 국민들 돈 있는 사람들 호주머니를 빼내느냐, 이거 연구하는 게 MBA야. 그래 안 그래? 도둑놈 면허 가능해요. 돈을 여러 가지 방법으로 굴려가지고 어떻게 하면 이자를 불어넣는가, 어떻게 하면 보험 상품을 만들어서 사람들한테 돈을 많이 끌어오는가, 이거 연구하는 거 아니야.

그거 연구 잘한다고 박사 학위를 준다 이 말이야. 그런데 그 사람들도 보험 회사, 정권 회사가, 정권 회사, 동양 정권이 왜 동양 정권이 요번에 문제가 생겨? 이 사람들이 정권을 경영에 대해서 돈 늘리는 전문가 아니야. 돈 늘리는 전문가인데 이 사람들도 이거를 결여되어 있으면 돈 만드는 회사도 망하고 한국 은행도 망하는 거야. 어떤 사람도 살아남을 수 없어.

지금 국가가 부채가 한 달에 얼마씩 늘어나? 한 달에? 우리나라 공기업이 부채가 한 500조 돼요. 국가 부채가 500조야. 국민 한 사람당 돈이 얼마야? 천만 원씩이야. 500, 700.

지금 매월 700. 이게 뭐예요? 얼마가 늘어난다고? 700억? 770억. 770억. 약 700억 원이 늘어난다 이 말이야, 평균이.

그러면 이게 1년에 얼마가 늘어나? 그러니까 일 날 보통 20조 몇십조 맨날 빚이 있는데 그거 뭐 하느냐. 공기업 사람들이 월급 보너스 다 가져가고 회사 성공하는 거, 사업 잘하는 거 신경도 안 써요. 정직한 사람이 한 명도 없어. 앉아서 국민들 세금 어떻게 내는가를 몰라요.

어떻게 사업하고 어떻게 자만자고 몸살려가면서 사업해 가지고 돈. 벌어서 세금 갖다주는데, 저거는 앉아 가지고 적자나 보고, 엉뚱한 데 돈을 써 제끼고 해외 출장, 그건 무슨 장난으로 생각해요? 놀러 가는 거예요. 예를 들어서. 그러니까 이런 정직한 공무원이 있어 줘야 세금이 줄어들 텐데, 계속 국가 공기업 부채가 500조, 국민 국가 외채 외채 500조, 국민의 가계 부채가 1000조야.

가계 부채가 1000조인데 공기업 부채가 500조다. 이게 뭐 하는 사람들이에요? 하루에 700억, 국가가 하루에 거치는 세금이 얼마인지 알아요? 적어도 하루에 700억씩 세금 적자 내면 국가가 국민들이 세금 거두는 돈이 얼만데? 적어도 한 달에 700억씩 적자를 내고 있냐고요. 적자가 아니고 부채가 늘어나는 거예요. 부채 증가예요.

이거. 그러니까 이 공기업 임원들 전부 유괴 교육대 불러가서 정신 교육을 다시 시켜야. 만약에 경우 적자가 나면 무조건 월급에서 다 까버려. 그만큼 임원을 줄여.

이러면 그 적자 나는 데가 어디 있어요? 그러니까 나라가 지금 망해가는 거는 눈 뜨고 다 보고 앉아 있는 거예요. 대책을 안 세워요. 대책을. 앞으로 적자 나는 사업 하는 사람은 전부 해고야.

너 그거 무슨 철가방이 아니야? 앞으로 이 부서가 적자를 냈다? 그럼 전부 입 다물어. 전부 해고야. 아니 이런 건 말이에요. 노다지 적자를 해요.

지자체. 지자체들을 적자 공기업이 지자체 부채까지 합치면 나라가 완전 빚덩이야. 이게 남의 살림이에요? 내가 이렇게 쳐다보면 눈에 불이 나요. 5, 5.

고위직들이고 뭐고 전부 이런 사람이 서두르해요. 이거 내가 가면 안 된다고. 나중에 내가 대통령이 되면 화폐 변경해. 돈 처방을 한 거 그날부로 5만원짜리로 바뀌어 버려.

끝나 버려. 얼마를 숨겨 놨든 절대 그냥. 5만원짜리를 바꿔주지 말라고 그래. 또 9만원짜리 가진 사람 다 망하면 거지 되는 거 아니야? 정신 차려요.

그런데 찍어내기만 하면 지하실로 들어가 버려요, 5만원짜리가. 100억이래요. 돈이 10억이래요. 남의 박스 한 박스도 안 돼요.

남의 박스 한 박스도 안 돼요. 그럼 5만원짜리 쫙쫙 차가도 그냥 몇백억씩 갖다가 처방을 한 사람들이 있다. 이건 5만원짜리 비참을 하면 없어져. 그래요, 그래요.

그래서 여러분들은 이 정직이 최고의 경영 비법이고, 국가 경영의 최고 비법이 뭐예요? 정직이야, 정직. 내가 보면 아주 그냥 우라통이 치밀어서. 이걸 공분이라고 그래. 공분.

공분은 화내는 게 아니라 이 말이야. 우리의 젊은이들의 미래를 생각해서 화가 나는 거야. 영혼이 화를 내는 걸 공분이라고 그래. 감정이 화내는 건 뭐예요? 격노한다고 그래.

노하는 거지만 이거는 공분이야. 개인적인 분노가 아니란 말이야. 그런데 사람이 공분하는 사람이 없어요. 여도 야고 다 그냥.

그래서 굉장히 중요한 이야기 아니야. 예수가 공부는 했습니다. 예수가 말이야, 예수를 갖다가 제자들이 성전 앞에서 돈 바꿔주는 사람들 뒤집어엎어 버리잖아. 예수가 사랑으로 그 사람들을 이해하고 용서해주고, 그래 너 성전 앞에서 돈 바꿔도 괜찮다.

다 사랑을 이해해 줄 수 있지. 그런데 갑자기 와서 그걸 다 뒤집어엎어 집어 던지고 소리소리 지르고 완전히 미친 사람처럼, 그게 하나님이라는 사람이 와서 한 행동이야. 발길로 쳐버렸다. 그러니까 제자들이 기겁을 해서 다 도망갔어.

왜? 예수님이 미쳤나 보다. 이래 가지고 그게 공분이야. 하늘도 화가 나면 그냥 지진으로 다. 없애버려요.

여러분들을 왜 안 그래요? 이거는 인간들이 전부 정직이 없는 거죠. 하나님 팔아 가지고 장사하니까 그래요. 안 그래요? 신은 사실은 모든 걸 원수를 사랑하라는 하나님이 직접 화를 내버려요. 그래서 이게 공분이라는 게 있는 거예요.

그래서 그 뭐라고 그러세요? 우리 옛날에 뭐라고 그러세요? 원칙 없는, 뭐라고 그러세요? 원칙 없는 정치, 정치는 원칙 없다고 그랬지. 양심 없는, 뭐요? 양심 없는 쾌락이지. 노력 없는 재물, 경제가 왜 자꾸 한국인 저러고 와서 만들어 줘요? 노래 없는 재물, 뭐요? 인격 없는, 뭐요? 교회, 응? 응? 응? 인격 없는 교회, 응? 인격 없는, 뭐요? 박 회장님, 뭐요? 종교, 도덕 없는 경제지. 희생 없는 이게 종교인데, 왜 도덕, 인격 없는 종교라고 해? 이건 박 회장님이 알아맞혀요.

환경 없는, 뭐예요? 과학, 과학이야. 그럼 인격 없는, 뭐예요? 교육. 박수, 박수, 박수, 박수. 그래서 내가 이야기해 줄게.

자, 여기에 종교의 3대 요소가 뭐예요? 종교의 3대 요소. 그래서 박 회장님, 내가 옛날에 가르쳐 준 적이 있어. 한번 강의했는데, 콩나물 시루처럼 다 흘러나가는데. 성막하다? 믿음성만하다? 아니지.

비슷하긴 하다. 종교의 3대 요소, 이것을 짐작에 대한 이야기하는 것은 신앙의 3대 요소. 신앙의 3대 요소는, 이 신앙 자체는 믿음이잖아. 신앙의 3대 요소는 믿음.

이거, 믿음. 신망. 신망이란 말이야. 종교의 3대 우선은 무엇인지 모르겠어요? 개, 제일 중요한 거야.

종교도 정직함과 연관이 있어. 개, 그렇잖아. 정, 이게 이거와 같은 뜻이야. 정.

개정. 그 다음 뭐겠어요? 해를 지키고 바로 살아야 돼. 뺐다가 살지 말고. 그 다음 남한테 베풀어라, 이거지.

베푸는 거 하고 정직은 달라. 베푸는 거 하고 정직은 다르단. 말이야. 도둑놈이 가서 도둑질을 해가지고 와서 막 베풀면 되나? 그건 정직이 빠져있기 때문에 안 된다.

반드시 정이 있는 해가 있어야 돼. 정직이 없는 해는 국민 돈 다 뺏어 가지고 저 사람이 갑자기 한국은행을 털은 사람이 없는 사람 뭐라고 그래? 짱 노릇한다. 그게 죄가 안 될까? 정이 없는 해는 소용이 없어요. 종교의 계열을.

그래 안 그래? 도둑질하지 말라? 그래 안 그래? 어겼다. 그러면 계정해는 서로 감시하고 있는 거야. 자, 신망, 믿음과 소망과 사랑이 있어야 되는데, 믿음을 하나도 없으면서 소망하고 사랑만 가지고 달라고 하면 되겠나? 안 되지. 믿음과 소망과 사랑이 서로 하나가 될 때 신앙의 3대 요소가 되는 거요.

그런데 절뚝발이 신앙은 믿음은 빼버리고, 교회 가서 맨날 그냥 뭘 달라고 기도만 해. 그러면 신이 없는 망해지. 그걸 걸자고 되면 망하는 거야. 망해.

그렇잖아. 이게 서로 연대가 된 것. 이 글자 하나가 따로 있다 해서 신 하나만 따라 보면 안 돼. 신 뒤에는 망해가 있고, 망해 뒤에는 신이 있고, 다 연결이 됐을 때 이루어지는 거야.

해 베풀면 좋은 일이야. 도둑질 해가지고 베풀면 계를 어기고 베풀면 되나? 소용없어. 그래서 이것을 중요시한다. 정직이라는 걸 잘 모르는 사람들이 있어.

모든 것을 내한테서 인수분해를 해서 배워야 돼. 그래 그래. 그 다음에 철학의 삼대 요소가 뭐예요? 철학. 이게 다 진리하고 연관이 있어요.

정직하고 연관이 있어요. 우리 인간이 철학을 컨버즈로 왜? 김고문님, 철학의 삼대 요소. 김고문님이 기업력이. 공부 안 하는 거예요, 하는 거예요? 해요? 잘하는.

이거는 인간이 기본적으로 남하고 대화할 때 이걸 가르쳐야 된다니까. 이걸 외워 놔야. 된단 말이야. 외워야 될 게 있고.

자동차 운전하는 놈이 불 켜는 법을 배워 놔야 되잖아. 최소한. 그래 안 그래? 이게 불 켜는 법이야. 그래 안 그래? 자동차 엔진은 못 고쳐도 좋아.

다이아몬드 박아도 좋은데, 불 켜는 법을 알아 놔야 될 거 아니야. 이게 마음의 불 켜는 법이야. 그래 안 그래? 그걸 모르면 어떡해. 앞으로 전부 다 외워 놔.

철학의 상대 요소, 왜 바로 살려고 하는 사람 철학, 진앙 믿음을 가져야 돼. 종교가 필요하다 그러면 이런 게 전 세계적으로 있다 보니 여기에 대해서 우리는 알아 놔야 된다 이 말이요. 철학의 상대 요소가 뭐예요? 모르고서. 공원 여기도 보면 철학이 왜 존재하냐? 3대 요소가 이거 바를 정 자 있어 없어요? 이 바를 정 자가 빌 공 자가 있는 바를 정 자라야지.

돈을 실컷 번 젊은이가 예수 앞에 나타나서 “예수님, 나를 영생 하나 주세요.” 그래. “영생 그래. 나 영생 주겠다. 너 영생을 가져가려면 네가 번 돈을 다 버려야 공을 해야 된다.” 공.

네가 그 재물하고 네가 가진 재물과 네가 가진 권세와 네가 가진 명예가 있는 한은 너는 영생이 존재할 수 없다. 너 속에는 절대 영생이란 선물을 너는 받을 수가 없는 이라. “이걸 택할래? 이걸 택할래?” “아이, 골치 아픈데요. 다음에 한번 올게요.

선생님 죄송합니다.” 가버려. 성경에 나오지 내가 지어내는 말이 아니야. 석가모니한테도 이런 사람이 나라 임금에 와 가지고 이랬어요. “내가 부처님이 되게 나도 좀 깨달아서 부처로 나중에 가게 좀 도와주세요.” 하니까 “왕을 버려야 돼.

자기 시녀들 다 버려야 돼.” 얼마나 힘든 일이야? 권세 버려, 명예 버려, 돈 가지고 있는 거 다 백성한테 다 나눠줘. 임금이 가만히 생각해보니까 볼 잡고 이야기거든. 석가모니 보고 부처님 그거를 좀 골라는데, 내 차례 시주는 잔뜩 하고서. 시주하는 그건 아무 필요 없어.

아무리 해도 당신이 이거를 몸속에 가지고 있는 한은 당신에게 영생은 들어갈 수가 없다. 아, 그래서 정은 정직은 이게 있어야 되는 거야. 공이 존재해야 되는 것이고, 그러면 원만한 것이 존재해 줘야 돼요. 원만해지는 거예요.

둥글어려진다 이 말이야. 둥글어라. 이게 지금 이거는 뭐예요? 각이 있어서 사람이 여기 넘어지면 다쳐요. 어린애가 자빠지면 여기 지켜.

그래 안 그래? 이거는 뭐예요? 원이 되어 있으니까. 공원적. 이거 없는 정은 존재할 수가 없어. 이거 없는 이거 존재할 수가 없어.

내가 바르게 산다고 그러고 지금 엄마를 잘못한다고 엄마를 두들겨 패면 그게 바르게 사는 거예요? 원만한 것은 뭐예요? 가족 관계가 있는 거예요. 어머니와 내가. 그러니까 아무리 바른 것도 중요하지만 원만한 인간 관계의 테두리 안에서 발라야 되는 거지. 히틀러가 바르게 산다고 유럽을 다 없애버려? 세계를 재패해 가지고 막 다 죽여? 이거는 바르게 하는 게 아니야.

그래 안 그래? 원만함이 있는 바른. 이것이 서로 발목을 잡고 있는 거야. 이렇게. 그런데 어떤 사람하고 톡 떼어버리고 나를 영생을 주시오.

어림도 없는 말씀. 안 돼. 그러니까 정직을 여러분은 쉽게 보지 말래요. 내가 진리를 강조할 때 진리는 이런 인수분해가 들어있어요.

진리 속에는. 진리가 그냥 진리가 아니요. 항상 개는 개를 발목을 잡고 있고, 망이나 애는 실을 발목을 잡고 있고, 정은 공을 발목을 잡고 있어. 내가 정직하게 살려고 하다 보면 내가 가난해야 되는 거예요.

그래요? 예수님이 그러잖아요. 제자가 가고 나서, 그 사람이 가고 나서. 저 젊은이 어리석다. 왜 어리석으냐.

그러면 내가 예수님 말씀대로 내 재산과 내 권세와 내 명예를 하나님 앞에 바치겠습니다. 말로 신하면 되는 거야. 당장 안 바쳐도 돼. 그래 안 그래.

무슨 말인지 알겠지. 내가 앞으로 내 권세와 모든 명예 하나님을 위해서 다 쓰겠습니다. 말로만 해도 네 재산을 내가 달라고 하냐 뭐하냐 예수님 하는 말이야. 저놈이 지 마음속을 비우면 되는데, 먼저 지 마음속에 못 놓고 다 이 마음을 가지고 있는 무슨 말인지 알겠어? 내 몸을 예수가 뭐라고 해요? 내 몸을 먼저 제사 지내라 그래.

그래 이거는 내가 받는다. 자기 몸을 먼저 받자. 자기 몸을 위해서 21세기 사람들 자기 몸이 뭐가 되어있어? 자기 몸이 21세기 사람들에게는 자기 몸이 뭐야? 우상이란 말이야. 우상.

자기 몸이 우상이 되어 있어요. 어떻게 하면 건강을 찾을까? 오래 살까? 인생의 전부를 걸어요. 그런데 하늘은 내 몸을 바치라는 거야. 몸을 있는 대로 그냥 바치라 이거야.

그런데 사람들은 자기 몸이 하늘의 신에게 그게 우상이 되어야 될 텐데 자기 몸이 우상이 되어있고 가족이 우상이 되어있는 거야. 그래서 21세기는 우상의 시대다. 우상의 시대다. 이게 유물사상이야.

현재 이 유물론은 한계가 왔어요. 온갖 물질과 권세 우상이 막 죽을게. 나가면 전부 눈에 뵈는 게 우상이야. 그거를 초월하겠다.

그걸 하나님을 위해서 진리를 위해서 부처님을 위해서 쓰겠다. 이런 사람이 없어요. 요. 박회장의 기침이 박자를 맞춰 주네.

안 맞춰도 되는데. 무슨 말인지 이해가죠. 여러분들의 우상이 뭐라고? 자기 몸. 융을.

옳지. 이게 지금 우상이야. 그래서 이 우상을 하나님한테 바치겠다 말로만 하고, 그것을 하나님한테 좋은 일에 자꾸 쓰면 되는 거예요. 당장 예수가 네 재산 다 가져와.

이거 아니란 말이야. 네 권세 다 가져와. 이거 아니란 말이야. “모든 권세와 재산과 내 몸을 하나님을 위해 내놓겠습니다.” 예수님 말씀 그렇게 하세요.

“내가 그렇게 하겠습니다.” 앞으로 이러면 되는 거야. 그걸 못하겠대요. 좀 복잡해서 나중에 해보겠대요. 어리석지.

그러면 가치의 3대 요소가 뭐야? 중요한 거야. 이게 어서 봐요, 어서 봐요. 내 강의는 첫 번째가 굉장히 중요해요. 첫 번째, 내가 화두를 꺼낼 때 그게 중요하다.

자, 지키는? 네. 종교의 3대 요소는 죄와 벌과 현대. 신앙의 3대에서는 믿음과 소망과 사랑이야. 철학의 3대에서는 온과 원과 정이다.

아, 그러면 정직의 진리에서, 정직의 진리에서 바르다는 것은 뭐를 기본으로 해야 된다? 비우는 것. 그래, 안 그래? 사랑은 뭘 기본으로 해야 된다? 믿음. 자, 남한테 베푸는 것은 정직하게 버려야 되는 거지. 그래, 안 그래? 이봐, 같이 꼭 이 세 개가 발목을 잡고 있어요.

어떤 사람들은 철학은 정직이다. 이렇게 얘기하면 틀리는 거예요. 철학은 비우는 것과 정직 사이에 있는 거야. 이렇게.

믿음과 사랑이라는 건 믿음과 연관이 있어. 소망과. 자, 베푸는 것은 정직하게 벌어 가지고 바른 곳에다가 써야 돼. 베풀어야 돼.

고독한 놈들한테 가서 밥 사주는 거 그거 좀 곤란하잖아. 그래, 그래. 그러니까 정직하게 돈을 벌어서 바른 곳에다가 베풀어야 된다. 그러니까 개정개.

여기서 요게 없어 버리다 돼야, 안 돼? 안 돼. 나쁜 놈한테 돈을 막 대주면 되겠어? 테러하는 놈들한테 돈 대주면 되겠어? 베풀면 되겠어? 그러니까 요게 꼭 끼는 거예요. 이건 지켜들어도 이걸 또 안 지키면 또 이게 죽는 거예요. 그래야 안 돼요.

이게 내가 왜 상대 요소를 중요시시하냐면, 항상 이런 것이 세 가지를 물고 늘어져요. 가치의 3대 요소, 인간이 왜 한평생을 지구에 와서 살아야 되느냐, 왜 또 다시 환생하느냐. 환생이 뭐예요? 거듭나는 걸 환생. 환생이 거듭나는 거지.

이거는 어디에 거듭나는 거예요? 지구에 거듭나는 거예요. 환생. 박 회장님, 환생보다 더 높은 것이 무엇입니까? 영생. 영생 보조용.

저번에 내가 한번 이야기했는데, 환생보다 낮은 것은 무엇입니까? 낮은 것은 침성하는 것입니다. 축생이지. 축생. 이것은 땅속에 들어가는 것이지.

땅속에 태어나는 것입니다. 축생보다 낮은 것은 무엇입니까? 축생보다 낮은 것이 있지 않나요? 축생보다 낮은 것이 있지 않나요? 당연히 목소리가 다른 우주에서 오는 목소리 같아요. 이것보다 나좌 목소리 뭐였지? 이 귀생인데, 이것을 다르게 이야기할 때는 이 자를 써야 돼. 오, 이거 이거 이거.

아기 축생이라고 하는 거죠. 아, 이게 이 아기 기 자거든. 이렇게 밥 식 자를 써가지고 나 자를 써줘야 된다 말이야. 이게 기생이야.

이거는 밥 못 먹는 밥 굶은 미생물 있잖아. 미생물. 미생물로 태어나는 거지. 그럼 미생물보다 더 낮은 단계에 태어나는 게 뭐예요? 귀신으로 가는 거야.

기생이야. 이것은 귀신으로 태어나는 거지. 이것을 지옥이라. 여기서부터 이것을 지옥이라 그래.

땅속이잖아. 이게 이게 땅속이야. 축생은 땅속이 아니야. 이것은 땅속이고, 이것은 축생은 지구에 그대로.

그 다음에 이것보다 더 위에 올라가는 것. 환생보다 한남보다 높은 것. 영생은 영생. 영생.

아니, 환생보다 한남이 높은 것. 아니, 영생은 영생, 영생 우주인이 우주인이 맞아. 우주인으로 태어난 것, 그것을 상생이라고 그래. 이것은 천상에 태어난 거야.

그러니까 지구보다 한 단계 업그레이드된 것. 불교에서 말하면 육도윤회, 육도윤회가 육도윤회가 육도윤회를 보면 맨 밑바닥에 인간으로 태어나는 것이 불교에서는 뭐요? 아기잖아. 귀신하고 벌레하고 태어난 아기, 아기계가 있어. 아기들이 살아가는 세계가 우주야, 아기계.

그 다음에 무슨 계가 있어요? 축생계가 있지요? 그런데 이 맨 밑에가 악의 계, 더 앞에 뭐가 있냐면 지옥계가 있어요. 지옥계가 이렇게 있잖아. 지옥, 악이, 축생이야. 그러면 이 지옥계에 속하는 것들이 이것들이야.

그 다음에 축생, 그 다음에 뭐가 있어요? 인간계, 수라가 있단 말이야. 수라, 그 다음에 인간이야. 인계가 있어. 인간계, 인계.

이게 수라계. 그 다음에 여기가 뭐가 있냐? 여섯 번째 천상계가 있단 말이야. 이 천상계. 이게 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 다섯, 여섯.

육도윤회. 육도윤회의 제일 높은 단계가 이거야. 천상에 가서 태어나는 거야. 그러면 보통 죄를 지은 사람은 환생, 지구인들이 태어나.

그런데 여기서 점수가 조금 좋으면 상생, 하늘에 가서 거기에서 태어나는 거예요. 그래서 이것은 천상에 태어난다. 거기에서 뭐예요? 거기에서 하늘나라에 태어난 거예요. 왕생이라고.

그래서 왕생은 우리가 다른 말로 극락이라고 그래. 왕생 극락. 우리가 왕생 극락한다고 그러지. 극락으로 가는 것을 왕생이라고 그래.

태어나면 환생이라. 자, 귀신으로 태어나면 기생이 되는 거예요. 님으로 태어나면 이런 아생이 되고, 그 다음에 짐승으로 태어나면 축생이 되고. 이게 종점이야.

그래 우리 인간이 가는 근본적인 목적은 여기. 가는 거야. 여기 가는 건데 꼭 어디를 거쳐야 돼? 상생을 거쳐서 가는 거야. 한 단계 더 천상 세계가 있어요.

그래, 천상 세계를 통과하는 분이 이 누구야? 불교에서 말하는 아미타불, 그래 안 그래? 아미타, 아미타불이라고 그러지. 아미타불. 여러분, 여기서 꼭 알아 놔야 돼. 여기서 꼭 알아 놔야 될 게 천상 세계를 관장하는 저 아미타불, 이 말하자면 하나님이라는 소리야.

기독교에서 말하는 하나님. 그러니까 저게 창조주야. 아미타불이 비로자나불과 마찬가지고. 이게 이 아미타불이 천상계를 관장하는 자지.

서방 세계로 간다 이 말이야. 서방 세계로 가는 데가 아미타불이 계시다. 그래서 재미있는 게 아미타불 잘 봐요. 우리가 백두산족이잖아.

백두산족은 아미타불, 아사달, 백두산. 또 없지? 잘 봐요. 이 아덴 동산이야. 에덴이 아니야.

발음이 잘못된 거예요. 그리고 뭐가 나와? 아담이 나와. 그래 안 그래요? 그리고 아시아, 아프리카, 아메리카, 아버지, 아파치. 모든 이 ‘아’ 자가 들어간다 이 말이야.

‘아’가 들어가는 것은 전부 한민족이야. 한민족이 관계된 곳이라 이 말이야. 그러면은 아미타의 아미타불과 아덴과 아담과 아사달. 아사달은 누가 했지? 당군이 했지.

당군의 도읍지, 아사달의 위치가 어디요? 아사달 위치가 어디요? 강화도. 아사달 위치가 이게 백두산 천지면 이렇게 이렇게 네 개 강이 되어 있잖아. 그러면 아사달이 백두산이야. 여기.

그러면 여기에 와서 도읍을 잡은 아사달이라고 이름을 지었어. 당군이. 이분이 바로 이스라엘에서 흩어져 나온 누구라고? 하일라, 하일라 아버지야. 창세기에 나오지.

그러면 이 하일라 아버지가 우리 저쪽 중동에 여기에서 일어난 문명이 무슨 문명이야? 여기서 일어난 문명, 유럽에. 있는 에덴 동산에서 일어난 문명이 무슨 문명이야? 수메르, 아니 그거 모르냐고. 이 서양의 아사달, 서양의 아덴, 아덴에서 일어난 문명이 있잖아. 홍산 문명.

홍산 문명은, 홍산 문명은 거기서 한번 이동해가 일어난 문명이야. 중국에 와 가지고 일어난 문명이야. 저거 무슨 문명이 소하고 관계가 됐다고 해서 소, 소하고 이름이 소를 다른 나라 말로 한 거야. 스메르 문명이란 말이야.

스메르 문명, 알겠어? 이 스메르 문명이 여기에서는 비살 토기. 비살 토기가 우리 한반도에 아사달에서 발견된, 백두산 아사달에서 발견된 뭐하고 같아? 비살 토기하고 같단 말이야. 그리고 스메르 문명이 우리 한민족의 문명이야. 스메르가 소라는 뜻이야.

우수. 스메르. 그래서 이걸 굉장히 중요시해야 돼. 그래서 이 스메르 문명이 빗살 토기를 썼는데 이게 아덴에서 시작됐단 말이야.

그래서 이것이 여기서 일어난 스메르 문명이 아덴 동산에서 일어난 이 문명이 결국 백두산으로 오는 거지. 백두산도 똑같이 생겼잖아요. 그렇게. 여기와 같이.

그 대신 거기와 차이가 있어. 여기에는 이 문명을 일으킬 때 제일, 여기 백두산과 차이점이 유대인과 우리가 한족속이잖아. 속이잖아. 그러면 욕단에 아담의 열다섯 번째, 15대 손 욕단의 열두 번째 아들이야.

이 누구야. 하일라. 이 하일라가 동방으로 온 거야. 나머지 13명의 형제는, 12명의 형제, 1명 뺐으니까 12명의 형제는 유대로 들어간단 말이에요.

이스라엘도. 그래서 이스라엘 민족이 돼요. 그때 이 사람들은 우리는 아시아로 와서 에뚜산에서 도옥을 정한 우리는 언어를 만들었어. 우리는 한글이라는 언어를 만들었는데 얘들은 언어를 못 만들었어.

지금까지 유대인이 언어가 없어요. 히브리말이야. 자기들하고 원수들의 말을 우리가 일본 말을 쓰고 있는 것과 똑같아. 그래 안 그래요? 자기들 나라를 침공해서 뺏어간 일본 사람 언어를 유대인이 지금 쓰고 있어.

그래 안 그래요? 세계에서 제일 머리 좋다는 사람들이. 그러니까 우리는 이 하나 하늘에서는 이 서방의 이 에덴을 죽이는 거야. 거기를 다시 가지를 않아. 동방에 에덴 백두산으로 메시아가 오는 거야.

백두산 쪽으로 이동하는 거야. 여기는 세계 최고의 언어를 만들어 놨어. 그리고 얘들은 성시가 있었어. 성시와 말이 없는 민족이 돼 있어.

이걸 예수가 예수를 먹다 오고 나서부터 저주가 되는 거야. 언어도 못 만들게 하고 성시도 못 만들게 하고 그냥 아주 무산물 없애버려요. 전 세계로 흩어버려요. 그래야 안 그래요? 이런 권위를 받았지만 이 하일란 욕단의 12번째 아들은 우리나라 쪽으로 와가지고 백두산의 자리를 잡았기 때문에 성도 주고 앞으로 메시아가 여기서 오는 거야.

그래서 허경영이가 와있는 거야. 아사히 지금 여기 지옥에서부터 시작이 되어 있는 거지. 무슨 말인지 이해가죠? 그래서 아담이나 아덴이나 아사다리나 아미타불이나 아시아나 아프리카 아메리카 아버지 아파치 아이슬란드 세계에서 제일 큰 얼음성 그래 그래 그래 모든 것은 아자가 다 붙어 있어요. 그래서 아버지가 나오는 거고 아빠가 나오는 거야.

그런데 세계에서 제일 아름다운 전 세계에서 여론조사를 해봤더니 제일 아름다운 단어가 뭐라고 그랬지? 어머니. 제일 아름다운 단어가 어머니. 박수. 박수.

허경영이가 두 번째 아름다운 단어 아버지. 사랑. 두 번째 사랑이야. 세 번째 뭐예요? 아니, 내가 힌트를 주는데도 뭐.

아버지는 굉장히 싫어하는 단어예요. 아버지는 상당히 싫어하는 단어예요. 밥. 내가 시간을 준대도 생각을 못 하겠어요? 하라고요? 인간들이 제일 좋아하는 단어를 순서대로 뽑아봤어요.

아저씨, 이게 뭐면 좋겠어요, 여러분? 아저씨만 좋겠어요? 나의 쌍깍이, 나의 쌍깍이, 나의 쌍깍이. 아니, 비슷한 건 없어. 마누라를 좋아하는 사람이 어디 있어? 30분 될라. 하하하하하.

이거 황수관 강의에서 나왔던 건데. 아버지? 아버지가 아버지가 아니라니까. 아버지가 17번째인가? 아, 일 났어. 다른 사람도 못 맞춰요? 돈.

비슷한 말이 나와서 돈. Money. 셋째가 무슨 미소야? 이걸 다른 말로 감사. Thank you.

Thank you. T H A N K. Thank you. 그래서 감사합니다 하면 좋아해.

이런 언어를 인간들이 좋아한다는 거예요. 그러면 어머니는 뭐야? 어머니는 나한테 주는 사람. 사랑. 나한테 주는 거.

이렇게 인간은 근본적으로 받는 단어를 좋아한다는 거야. 받는 거. 어머니한테 실컷 받았잖아요. 그러니까 어머니는 자기 자식이 집도 절도 없이.

어머니가 시골에서 남의 집에 일해주고 늙은 할머니가 되가지고 있는데도 자기 자식이 다섯 명이 서울에 있는데도 자식 집에 가서 며느리하고 아들 싸움 안 고치려고 아예 혼자 있겠다는 거예요. 그래 있는데도 맨날 자식 걱정만 해요. 그런데 자식들은 어머니 걱정을 별로 안 해요. 그래요.

그러니까 부모는 자식한테 가서 신세를 안 지는 것을 납으로 생각해. 자식이 주는 것도 그렇게 좋아하지 않지. 그러니까 누가 자식한테 신세 보려고 자식 키우는 사람이 없잖아. 그러니까 어머니라는 단어는 너무 희생적이야, 희생적이야.

어느 어머니가 자식한테 가서 그 며느리하고 자식하고 재밌게 살게 놔두고 거기 가서 해방을 낳고 싶었겠어? 박 회장님은 자식 집에 가서 그렇게 살고 싶어. 그래서 나중에 골방을 하나 구해서 살아도 절대 자식한테 가서 안 살고 싶은 거야. 사람이 그런 게 있어요. 인간이 이렇게 어머니라는 것은 희생을 원하는 거지, 자식한테 뭘 뺏어 먹고 싶어서 키우는 게 아니란 말이야.

희생이니까 이 단어를 전생에서 좋아하는 거예요. 어머니를 좋아하는 거예요. 그래서 이 어머니를 좋아하는데 여기서 ‘아’가 들어가는 단어는 아버지, 맞아 안 맞아? 아버지란 말이야. 이거는 인간들에게 존경을 받기는 틀린 거지.

그렇지만 그게 우리의 족보야. 족보가 이렇게 되어 있냐? 그래서 우리가 ‘아’ 자가 붙었다. 그래서 아미타불. 아미타불이 바로 이 ‘미륵’이 미륵불이야.

미륵이 아시아가 아니라 우리가 아시아라는 이 ‘아’ 자 있잖아. 이 ‘아’ 자를 이렇게 쓴단 말이야. 여기에 한반도를 말이야. 한반도에 미륵이 온다 이 소리거든.

그래서 미륵이 바로 아미타불이야. 그래서 미륵이라는 것, 저 똑같은 글자가 미륵이라는 것이나 아미타나 똑같은 글자야. 이거, 이거 미륵. 그래서 하늘에 있는 자가 땅에 온다, 인간의 몸으로.

그게 한반도에 온다. 그래서 그거는 참고로 여러분들이 알아야 합니다. 그래서 내가 이야기하는 것은 가치, 이 우리 인간의 가치는 우리가 이런 민족으로 와 있어. 대단한 민족이야.

우리가 세계를 통일해야 되고 세계를 바꿔야 될 민족이 틀림없어요. 그런데 우리는 모르고 앉아 있는 거야. 내가 와서 이제 가르쳐 주는 거야. 그래서 내가 여기 왔다는 것 자체가 이미 이게 시작이 됐어.

그럼 우리 가치는 뭐야? 우리 가치는 뭐가 돼야 돼? 가치의 3대 요소. 김고문님, 오늘 김고문님 많이 못 되면 이제 아니, 가치의 3대 요소를 못 외우면 안 돼. 인간이 살아가는, 아니, 아픈 사람 박수 좀 쳐주려고 그랬더니 안 걸렸어. 자, 가치의 3대 요소를 꼭 알아놔요.

신성미야. 자, 그러면은 왜 이게 중요하냐면은 진리를 지켜야 되는 거야. 진리. 인간이 가치가 있으려면 진리를 안 지키면 인간의 가치는 0점이야.

진리를 지키면 선해 보이고, 선하면 아름다운 거야. 그래, 안 그래? 아까 박 회장님이 강조한 거 그거야. 진리를 왜 지켜야 되냐 이거야. 선하기 위해서.

왜 선해지냐 이거야. 아름답기 위해서. 이게 인간의 가치야. 맞아, 안 맞아? 아니, 안중권이가 진리를 지켜서 죽였다 그러면 우리가 안중권이를 아름답게 볼 수 있잖아.

이렇게 아름다움은 진리와 일치되어 있지. 진리를 벗어난 거는 아름다운 게 아니다. 그래, 안 그래? 박여정이었어. 다.

저 사람이 도둑질을 했어. 그런데 얼굴이 잘생겼어. 그거 아름답다고 그러나? 아니란 말이야. 아무리 할머니가 쭈그러져 있고 손이 이렇게 이래도 그 할머니가 시골에서 농사짐해서 자식을 팔아매를 공부를 시켰다.

대학을 보냈다. 그러면 그 사람이 아름다워 보여. 그래, 안 그래? 이게 뭐냐면 진리를 지킨 자는 선하고 아름다워요. 그리고 아름다운지 않은 진리를 지키잖아요.

꼭 요게 이렇게 물고 늘어져. 톡 떨어져 있을 수가 없는 거야. 내가 그걸 오늘 가르쳐주는 거예요. 그러면 인간이 생존하는 가치, 우리의 인간의 가치는 철학하고 신앙의 3대 요소와 종교의 3대 요소하고 달라요.

확연히. 굉장히 중요한 말이야. 내가 오늘 이 강의하는 건 하버드. 대학에서 해야 되는 거예요, 사실은.

여러분들한테 가르쳐주는 거예요. 비밀. 사가자 대학생들은 이런 강의를 들을 수가 없어요. 그런 교수가 없으니까요.

세계적인 교수가 우리 한반도에 와 있지, 미국에 가나. 왜 안 가니까. 가치, 인간 가치의 3대 요소를 아는 대학 교수가 미국에 없어. 그래, 그래.

진리인데, 요거를 진리를 이게 뭐야. 거짓 일자야. 진리냐, 거짓이냐에 따라서 인간 가치가 달라진 거야. 그래야, 그래.

진리, 여기 정직이냐, 거짓이냐에 따라서 갑자기 장판이 구속되는 거야. 돈 먹었다. 그럼 그 사람의 인생이 끝이야. 갑자기 무슨 총장하고 그 사람의 애를 알았다.

위. 그냥 그렇게 거친 거야. 아름다움이 그동안은 아름다워 보였지. 순식간에 사라져.

이놈이 잘못되면 이게 다 사라져 버려. 순식간에. 선한 것도 없어져 버려. 그 사람이 정의의 사도같이 보였지, 총장이.

그래, 안 그래? 그런데 그 사람이 뭐 좀 잘못됐다 이러면 이게 사라져 버려요. 같이 살아요. 요 놈만 사라지는 게 아니야. 이래서 선은 뭘로 변해버려요? 그러면 악으로 바뀌어 버려요.

맞아, 안 맞아? 이게 거짓이 될 겨울에 이 사람의 인생은 악으로 바뀌어 버려요. 그 다음에 요게 악으로 바뀌어 버리면 또 요게는 뭐로 바뀌어? 축으로 바뀌어요. 추악한 나. 그래, 그래.

아주 이건 추악한 귀신이다, 이 소리야. 추자. 아주 추악한 추자. 그러면 미와 추는 반대돼.

미는 아름다운 거고, 이것은 추한 거야. 그러면 진리를 향하면 진과 선과 미를 가질 수가 있는데, 거짓을 향하면 악과 추함을 가지고 와. 저 사람 정말 못된 놈이야. 이렇게 된다.

거짓을 하면 되겠어? 우리가 진리를 어떻게든 지킨다. 그것의 근본 비밀을 내가 이야기해주는 거야. 정직에 대해서 내가 강의해 주는 거야. 이거는 세계적인 명강이야.

그다음에 그렇게 되면 인간의 위상의 3대 요소가 나와. 박 회장님, 위상의 3대 요소가 뭐예요? 이제 말이야, 김고문님은 외워놨겠지? 김고문님은 운이 좀 이상해. 아, 나 물 한잔 잡수. 조금 잡수고 기침이 좀 들리네.

내가 드릴게. 내가 물을. 허경영 좀 잡수. 이제 의상의 지정의, 지정의, 지정의가 아니지.

그래야 그래. 그 사람의 가치와 의상은 다르단 말이야. 검찰총장을 바라볼 때 가치와 검찰총장의 의상이 달라요. 의상과 가치를 혼돈하면 안 돼요.

굉장히 중요한 거요. 이게 인상이나 관상에서 나오는 걸 위상이라고 그래. 이것도 하나의 상이란 말이야. 상인데 위상의 3대 요소.

이거는 사람이 이렇게 되면 위상이 내려가 안 내려가? 내려가. 내려가잖아. 그러면 가치의 상을 뽑아서 도망가. 어머니 제사도 돈 없는 사람 어머니 묘도 못 만들어줘.

그러면 그 시체실에 있는 사람이 내가 가져가면 얼마나 나한테 고맙게 생각해. 그래, 죽은 사람한테도 은혜가 왔다 갔다 해요. 살은 사람한테만 은혜가 오는 게 아니야. 귀신도 은혜를 갚아요.

결초보혼 한다고 그러잖아요. 풀을 묶어서 장군을 돕잖아. 풀을 묶어서. 위상의 상대였어요.

이제 꼭 알아야 되겠지? 뭐요? 하하하하하하하. 누가 저한테 500만원 해줘. 내가 500만원 가지고 갈게. 박일장에게 해주세요.

안씨, 혹시 뭐 이건 뭡니까? 색채, 색채상? 색채형? 잘 들어나요? 이게 관상부는 뭐냐. 우리 인사할 교수가 모르면 어떻게 해. 채상은 간상이야. 인상, 관상.

채는 뭐예요? 그 사람의 몸, 몸. 그래, 안 그래? 몸이 위상이 이렇게 생겼냐, 검찰총장이라도 미남으로 생겨 가지고 키가 크고 잘생겨서 위상이 있어 보여 안 보여? 최상이 벌써 그 사람의 위상을 가지고 있단 말이야. 그런데 그 총장이 되게 못생겼다 그러면 같은 총장이라도 잘못한 것도 없는데 왜 이렇게 아차가 보여요? 그래, 안 그래. 그걸 우리는 위상이라고 해.

그거는 전생과 연관이 있단 말이야. 전생에 자기가 가져온 것이 있다 이 말이야. 그러면 상은 뭐야? 상은. 이 세상에서 자기가 바꾸는 거야.

이거는 인상으로서 바꿀 수 있는 거야. 이걸 관상과 인상이라고 그래. 상. 이건 바꿀 수 있는 거야, 상은.

아무리 못생기고 키가 작아도 기웅을 뜰 수 있잖아. 그리고 못생긴 주제에 뭐 소리 질러서 하면 괜히 점수만 깎이잖아. 그러니까 이거는 상은 체에 따라서 꼴맞춰서 안경 쓰는 건데 좀 바꿔야지. 상.

이게 인간의 위상의 상. 자기를 나타내는 세 가지 위상의 방법이 몸, 인상, 마지막이 뭐겠어? 심상. 이게 심상, 은상이 다 들어간 게 상이야. 세가 들어가 있어.

욕먹고 가려나? 용이야, 그 사람이 무슨 일을 하느냐. 아니, 키도 조그맣고 못생긴 사람이 물에 뛰어들어 왔어요. 물에 빠진 애 7명을 살려냈다. 그럼 그 사람이 행동이 용이야.

용 행실, 행실, 행실에 따라서 이 사람의 위상이 올라가고 내려간다 이 말이야. 자, 행실에 따라서 관상이 바뀌어, 안 바뀌어? 바뀐단 말이야. 몸은 몸도 행실에 따라서 바꿀 수 있어, 없어? 이게 다 연관이 있는 이름을 물고 누르지는 거야. 이렇게, 이렇게.

그러니까 여러분은 위상을 올리고 낮추는 걸 자기가 알아야 되는데 그걸 모르고 이 다섯 가지를 모르고 세상을 사는 거예요. 여러분은 헛사는 거예요. 이게 관상, 우리 조교수가 보는 관상이 사실 여기 들어있지. 채상용을 말하는 거야.

어떻게든 채를 바꾸고, 이 채는 좀 바꾸기 어려운 거지. 채와 못생긴 얼굴이지만 상을 바꾸고 용을 바꾸면 채가 법보예요. 그래, 안 그래? 아, 못생긴 애가 외국에 가서 탁구 1등 애가 와봐. 챔피언대가.

사람들이 그냥 그 사람을 무슨 신이 모시듯이 해요. 그래, 안 그래? 채가 바뀌어 버려요, 못생겼는데도. 맞아, 안 맞아? 그래서 이게 이놈이 이놈을 물고 들어간다. 이놈을 잘하면 이게 또 물고 들어가 버려.

섞여 버린다. 그래야 합니다. 이걸 잘하는 사람이 돼야 위상을 변화시키는 자지. 그래야 합니다.

종교와 신앙과 철학과 가치와 위상은 우리 인생에 정직하게 사는 근본이야. 그래, 안 그래? 다 봤으면 박수를 쳐야지. 그래, 안 그래? 적어놓고 나면 아무것도 아니지. 그런데 모르겠지.

우리가 들으면 다 아니다. 무서운 이야기입니다. 어우, 괜찮다. 이게 지금 내가 이렇게 이야기하지만, 이게 우리나라 철학 교수들이 모르는 거야.

이런 걸 기본으로 안 가지고 있어요. 내가 그나마 하늘에서 와서 몇 시 아니까 이걸 이야기하지. 몇 시 아니지. 아까 뭘 이런 이야기를 해.

모르는데. 몰라. 아무도. 세계 어떤 책에도 나와 있지가 않아.

굉장히 중요한 거다, 이 말이야. 정직이 뭔지 알겠죠? 이런 정직이 다 계를 지키고 믿음이나 이게 다 정직하고 관계있어, 없어? 있어. 다 이거 다 이거 정직하고 관계있어, 없어? 있어. 어, 아무리 몸이 잘 생기면 뭐해.

어디 가서 바람을 피웠다. 참. 그러면 이게 위상이 확 까져. 그렇지.

어. 확 넘어가네. 어. 그래서 여기는 진선미가 있는데, 미만 잘라면 뭐해? 선현미.

선현미. 이게 다 연구하는 물고 늘어져 이 세계가 물고 늘어져. 이 세 개가 몇 가지? 열다섯 가지. 이 열다섯 가지가 인생의 가장 중요한 포인트다.

이거는 여러분들이 적어놨다가 외우도록. 적어서 외우, 적어서 전부 외우고. 감사합니다..
