Introduction to the Book
Using uncomplicated sentences and pithy language, the author explains the principles of the universe, which people have only vaguely and conceptually understood.
Since the author enlightened and reached the perfect place of Truth of his own accord, he can write clearly without making any assumptions or hesitations.
“Just as you dreamed the dream last night, once you open your eyes and see it is not real, the self-centered life that one lives for oneself is also a dream. If one’s mind becomes the World’s mind, one will know the ways of the world, become the eternally living existence of Truth, and can live the true life.”
About Truth, about the world and the universe, and about man:
The author conveys the true meaning of the many stories of Truth that have been vaguely regarded until now. In addition, with his heartfelt hope for anyone to easily learn about the stories of Truth and recover man’s original nature, the author directly recited the entire contents of the book and produced six CDs.
Publisher’s Review
Everything in the world that is visible changes and disappears over time.
If that is so, where is Truth? The thing that is absolute and complete and that does not change or disappear no matter how many years pass or change. What is it that lives eternally and where is it?
Published in 2004 as the sequel to World Beyond World, which has been a big hit for readers since its publication in 2003, this book that is more specific and detailed leads us to the world of Truth and the True Mind. While the previous work gave the method for the consciousness of man to become Truth and live in a world of peace beyond feuding and conflicts, this book discusses the reality of the eternal Truth.
The forever living world is a perfect world that refers to the world of Truth.
It is this eternal and immortal existence that existed before even the beginning of the world and will exist after the world. It is the highest, widest, largest. It is the immense universe before the universe, the infinite and pure emptiness. All things were created from this and will return here. Even though the cycle of creation and destruction has repeated millions of times, this infinite emptiness remains unchanged. This is Truth. In other words, when a person becomes Truth, the visible body disappears, but the original consciousness is eternal without life and death.
However, humans cannot live as the universe mind because they are trapped in the false world of their own illusions. Therefore, anyone can go to this True kingdom if he throws away all of the human mind. This world is a world where there is no human mind, no trouble, one thought and action, and this is human completion, the truth, and the way of true life.

Excerpts from the Book
It is when man frees himself from his self-imposed shackles and steps out of his grave that he will know the logic of the Universe.
The reason man knows nothing is because he has sins and karma and thus does not have Truth.
The things man knows are those which are of his own human mind – a mind that has a sense of self and is full of attachments. Unless mankind’s body and mind are transmuted into the eternal and never-dying Body and Mind of the Creator, which are the Energy and Light, respectively, none will live.
– p99 ‘One Must Have No Kleshas In Order to Be Complete’ –
Truth is the whole of this world and so unless one’s mind becomes the whole of this world, one will never be able to know Truth.
One is only able to live and speak depending on the level of one’s consciousness.
Furthermore, one is able to become enlightened when one’s consciousness has expanded to become as large as the world, for one can be enlightened only in proportion to how large one’s consciousness has become.
The meditation of one;s mind is the meditation of the ‘Jung (Body)’ and ‘Shin (Mind)’, and those who are unable to meditate end up remaining in that state and talking about nothing more than their own delusions.
Unless their minds become the whole of the infinite Universe, they will never know Truth.
Truth is existent, not non-existent.
Truth is the original foundation, and this original foundation does not exist.
But amidst its non-existence, there is the Spirit.
This ‘non-existence’ pertains only to those whose consciousnesses dwell within themselves.
Those who have returned to Truth – the Infinity that is the most high, most low, most large, and most wide – will be able to see God, who is the one and only.
Because Truth exists, the whole of creation is the representation of Truth as well as Truth itself.
And only those who have become Truth are able to know Truth.
– p170 ‘You Cannot Know Truth If You Have Never Become It’ –
When people admit their wrongs and discard both their falseness and their minds, they will become Truth.
It is only then that their deeds would be those of Truth; only when they have become Truth would they have wisdom and would thus not be so frivolously greedy.
People would live for each other and so there would be no stealing or robbery.
Everyone would live as one and so mankind would live following Nature’s flow – or in other words, mankind would live due to the great, true love.
Everyone would be born as Truth and so life and death would be one.
This earth would forever be Heaven.
Therefore, how could there be anyone in Heaven who does not follow the will of Truth?
– p220 ‘The Time Has Come For The Whole Of Mankind To Be Born As One And Live’ –
The greatest thing in this world is the act of acceptance.
The most courageous person in this world is one who is able to say he is sorry.
Only a person who is of the highest caliber is able to do this.
Only the living are able to do this.
– p229 ‘The Greatest Thing In The World And The Most Courageous Person In The World’ –
