The mind world of man, filled with what belongs to the world, is not real but false images. One who is inside those false images can only speak of what his mind holds but these are only his preconceptions and opinions. Since those who live in the false human world can only speak and act according to what is in their minds, those who speak and act in a way that fits the time they are in live a slightly better life. Their lives and actions reflect the minds that they have taken in.
In any case, the human mind has made a selfish self-made world that cares only about himself. In this world, doing well for himself, being the best and boasting about himself is everything.
However when his human mind disappears and becomes God’s mind, man will live a truly joyful life. He will live divinely; he will have complete freedom and liberation, be without worries and work in the land of God. Being selfless – literally having no self – he will work for the benefit of others and live amassing blessings in the land of righteousness while he is alive. Since the land of righteousness has no death, he will know the oneness of life and death. The land of forever-living immortals where one does not die after death but lives as God, is the land of righteousness. This is what it means for what is false to become true.
When man becomes a true person and he lives as one, he will also do well in society, in the world. The best path for all people is to become complete and true because the correct definition of living well is to live as Truth and live in the land of righteousness.
The first priority in education should be to teach people to become Truth before teaching them the skills and knowledge to make a living. If this happens, the entire world will become more prosperous. This is because people will live for others if the level of their consciousness become higher, or in other words if they come to their original senses. Only when we change our minds to that of Truth that is God, will we be able to live together as one.
When we are reborn with the mind of the sky – or in Korean, Haneol, which literally means one mind – everyone will have wisdom; no one will behave foolishly, and we will no longer be trapped in our individual mind worlds. Our actions will produce true results and everyone will live well and happily. Changing our minds from the false mind to the true mind is the most urgent matter at hand. When this happens, it will become a world where people can live with ease of mind.
