TKC 4 – 1987-10-18
Hello,
Continuing from last week, today we explore the Bible’s profound secret to not dying. Scripture reveals the human body’s inherent capacity for eternal life. The Bible states that man is God, and humanity is divine. Indeed, man is God.
The Divine Nature of Humanity
Where can we find this truth? The Bible contains a word instructing people to possess the heart of God. To “have the mind of God” implies a divine nature, for nothing can possess God’s heart unless it is God. Therefore, this instruction to man signifies that man is God.
Furthermore, to be “born again by the Holy Spirit” means to be reborn as the Spirit of God. This rebirth as God suggests that humanity was once divine. However, humanity is now imprisoned in the devil’s grasp. Ultimately, this teaching confirms that “man is a god.”
Scientific Evidence for God’s Spirit in Man
Materialists in this world often insist that God does not exist. These claims arise from their unawareness of God’s true identity and humanity’s own divine nature. Consequently, scientific evidence can prove the validity of the statement that man himself is God.
The material of thought originates from the human body. This fact aligns precisely with the Bible’s teaching that the Spirit of God is light. For example, Dr. Sermoa, a psychic scientist in the old Soviet Union, utilized high-frequency waves to capture Kirlian photographs.
These photographs revealed light emitted from Kirlian’s body. Scientists worldwide announced that an aura emanates from the human body. While they observed the light, its origin and composition remain unknown to scientists globally today. This author, however, claims that this light is the Spirit of God.
The Bible explicitly states that God is light. Therefore, the light emanating from the human body demonstrates the existence of the Spirit of God within us. It signifies that the Spirit of God lives in the human body.
God Resides Within Man, Not in the Sky
As discussed last week, the Spirit of God does not reside at the top of the sky. Ephesians 6:12 indicates that the “god in the air” is an evil spirit. Similarly, Ephesians 2:2 reveals that the “god who has authority over the air” is a devil. Thus, according to the Bible, the devil occupies the sky, while God dwells within man.
The Bloodline: Tracing God’s Spirit in Humanity
Consider our own existence and circumstances. We are not formed from foreign blood. Instead, we are made from the blood of our ancestors. We inherit blood from our mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, and so on, tracing back to Adam and Eve. Ultimately, this lineage connects us to God’s blood.
Who, then, can deny that God’s blood flows within us? The blood of God is the Spirit of God; indeed, God’s blood is God. Therefore, blood is life, and life is blood. Leviticus 17:11 and Genesis 9:4 both affirm that blood is life. John 1:1 further states that life is the life of God, and life is the Spirit. The spirit itself is life, life itself is blood, and blood itself is life. Consequently, human blood contains the Spirit of God.
Because God’s blood is present in man, the Spirit of God is said to reside in each person. We can understand this principle through blood and also by observing our hearts. Each individual possesses a conscience. This conscience is a good spirit, a good spirit is a good god, and a good god is the God of God. The God of God is the conscience, and the conscience itself represents the action of the God of God.
Ultimately, the Bible testifies that the Spirit of God dwells in man. This truth becomes clear when we combine two biblical statements: “No one can tell that the kingdom of God is, here it is, or there it is, but it is in your heart,” and “wherever God is, there is the kingdom of God.”
Reinterpreting Death, Sin, and the Afterlife
People die because their sins remain unresolved. Scripture teaches that you will die for your sins and go to hell for your sins. Therefore, to die means to die because of sin. In this context, death signifies going to hell.
Many popular sayings today, such as “when we die, we go to heaven” or “our souls go to heaven,” are spoken without true biblical understanding. Consequently, the notion that “you go to heaven when you die” is, in fact, a falsehood. This misunderstanding stems from a lack of knowledge about what heaven and the soul truly are.
The Bible provides insights into the soul of a deceased person and the substance of the soul. Humanity dies due to sin; specifically, death occurs when sin is not resolved. Everyone dies because of sin. Since humanity dies from sin, the death of the body is equivalent to the death of the spirit. The Bible asserts that the human body is a spirit and the human body is a god.
However, interpreting the Bible as if the soul and body are separate entities is incorrect. As explained last week, the soul is a person’s body, and the spirit is blood. John 1:1 records that life is the Spirit, and the Spirit itself is life. The world was created through the Word, and Scripture states that the Word is life, life is light, and light is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, life itself is a spirit.
Proverbs 4:23 records that the source of life is in the heart. Leviticus 17:11 and Genesis 9:4 both state that life itself is blood, and blood itself is life. Thus, blood itself is life, life itself is spirit, and spirit itself is life. Since blood forms into flesh and body, and blood is spirit, the human body is a spirit. Therefore, “to be born again of the Holy Spirit” means being reborn as the Spirit of God. The phrase “to be reborn as the god of God” implies that the human body is God. Consequently, the human body is God, and the death of a person’s body is the same as the death of a person’s spirit.
The Afterlife: Resurrection in Living Descendants and the Secret to Not Dying
When a person dies, the blood in their body eventually decays. However, the blood of the deceased does not solely exist within their own body. If a deceased person had children while alive, those children are formed from the parent’s blood. Therefore, the parent’s blood resides in the child. This means the spirit of a deceased person lives on in their children.
Because the blood of the dead flows in their children, claiming that the spirit of the dead ascends to heaven is unbiblical. Biblically speaking, the blood of the dead is present in their living children, not in the deceased or in heavenly realms. Consequently, the blood flowing in a child’s body becomes the blood of their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and ultimately, the blood of Adam, Eve, and God. The spirits of both great and small ancestors reside within the living.
Therefore, when the Bible refers to people as “whitewashed tombs,” it implies that the living are the tombs of their ancestors’ souls. For this reason, addressing living people as “whitewashed tombs” makes biblical sense. Today, the substance of the soul is the human body, and living human blood constitutes the substance of the soul. Thus, the afterlife is the current world. The afterlife of the dead is not found in heavenly realms, but rather in those living with their souls in blood. Many people have not understood the true nature of the afterlife.
Since the spirits of the dead live in their living descendants, the souls of dead ancestors are resurrected when the living transform into immortal bodies. Therefore, when you achieve immortal bodies, the spirits of all who have died will live together. This is because the souls of the dead are within your blood. Ultimately, the living person embodies the spirit of the dead, and the living person’s body becomes the spirit of the dead. Humanity is, therefore, God. This understanding is key to unlocking the secret to not dying.
Discerning Gods and Avoiding Misinterpretation
It is crucial to read the Bible with discernment regarding gods. Those unable to discern gods are unqualified to teach Scripture. Such individuals should resign from teaching the Bible. If someone ignorant of the Bible teaches it, all who receive their teaching will be deceived and ultimately go to hell. Hell is death itself. The Bible states that if a man dies, he will go to hell. Therefore, to die for your sins and go to hell for your sins means that death leads to hell. It is incorrect to tell people who have gone to hell that they went to Paradise, went to heaven, or that God took them. If we desire to believe, we must believe biblically.
The Scientific Basis of Thought and God’s Imprisonment
For six years, this author has proclaimed that blood changes with thought, and the substances of thought emerge from the human body. As a result, scientists worldwide are now studying how blood is altered by a person’s thoughts and how thought material originates from the human body. In the old Soviet Union, a scholar named Sermoa photographed Kirlian’s body emitting light, sharing this discovery globally. This phenomenon demonstrates that God’s material emanates from the human body when we possess the heart of God, because God’s heart is present within us.
Consequently, this confirms the presence of the Spirit of God in man. A good conscience signifies a good heart, a good heart is a good spirit, and a good spirit is the God of God. This evidence proves God resides in man. The Spirit of God exists in man because Adam, Eve, and God were overcome by the devil 6,000 years ago. God was then imprisoned in the devil’s prison. Therefore, the self-consciousness of ‘I’ is the devil; the controlling spirit is the spirit of the devil and the heart of the devil. As a result, conscience is often swayed by the insistence of the self-consciousness of ‘I’.
This explains why the Bible instructs us to be born again by the Holy Spirit. To be reborn as a god of God means that the Spirit of God, our conscience, was originally the ‘I’. However, when the devil took over 6,000 years ago, the devil’s spirit became the ‘I’, and the Spirit of God became imprisoned. Therefore, the biblical saying, “we will be resurrected from the grave,” refers to God’s resurrection. It means that if God breaks this spiritual grave—the human ‘I’—then God becomes the ‘I’ again. This is God’s spiritual resurrection. Only when God is released from the devil’s prison can God receive eternal life. The Bible contains no statement that sinners are saved. To be born again by the Holy Spirit means to be reborn as the Spirit of God. When the Spirit of God is reborn and God again becomes the controlling ‘I’, then wherever God is, there is the kingdom of God. Only God can enter the kingdom of Paradise; sinners cannot. The saying that “sinners will go to heaven if they only believe in Jesus” contradicts the Bible’s meaning. The Bible states, “you must become God to enter Heaven.” Incorrectly asserting that sinners enter Heaven distorts the Bible’s theory of salvation. Thus, the Bible records that one must become God to have eternal life, and only by becoming God can God not die.
Greed, Sin, and the Secret to Not Dying
This author explains the secret to not dying in this way. Scripture does not merely state that we die for our sins. It also says that when lust conceives, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when fully grown, gives birth to death. Lust itself is sin, and sin itself is lust. However, lust itself is not greedy; rather, self-consciousness is greedy. Therefore, the self-consciousness of ‘I’ is sin and the devil. When God, imprisoned in the spiritual grave, overcomes the ‘I’, overcomes the devil, and overcomes death, the Spirit of God will live forever. The Spirit of God will then enter and reside in the kingdom of Paradise.
Consequently, the saying, “No one can tell Heaven is here or there, is in your hearts,” means that when the Spirit of God is seated in the hearts of those with eternal life, the Spirit of God will live forever and ever. This author preaches the secret to not dying today, emphasizing that “If you are greedy, your blood rots.” As mentioned last week, this teaching is based on the principle that greed causes blood to rot. Greed causes blood to rot. This is evident: if you are greedy and eat excessively, stomach cramps will indeed occur.
When acupuncture is applied around the nail-root, dark, rotten blood emerges. This serves as evidence that blood rots at the moment of greed. Another proof that greed causes blood to rot is the phenomenon of freckles appearing on the face due to anxiety. This freckling indicates the accumulation of rotten blood in the capillaries, a result of blood rotting. The fact that anxiety alone causes freckles demonstrates that worrying leads to blood rotting. Therefore, the state of worrying is a greedy heart desiring things not aligned with reality. Consequently, anxiety is a form of extreme greed. This provides scientific proof that blood rots if you are greedy.
For these reasons, it is taught that blood rots when a person is greedy. As the Bible says, blood is life. The rotting of blood signifies the rotting of life. The rotting of life, in turn, means the death of life. Therefore, the Bible’s teaching that we die for our sins is scientifically proven. It is also taught that a person will not die unless they are greedy. Thus, if you avoid greed, your blood will not rot, you will not die, and you will not get sick. However, merely telling people not to be greedy without teaching the secret to not being greedy is ineffective. Similarly, instructing people not to sin without revealing the secret of not sinning renders those words lifeless.
The New Word: Regard Everyone as Yourself and the Secret to Not Dying
The Gospel of John records that when another Counselor and the Holy Spirit arrive, they will speak a new word. What, then, is this new word? Until now, no one has revealed the secret to not sinning. The central figure of the Bible is the one who grants eternal life, and this individual is also the one who shares the secret of how to avoid sin. Therefore, today, the secret to not sinning is this: “regard anybody as yourself.”
The idea of “do not regard anyone like me” is a psychologically unsound concept. If people truly regard others as their own body, they cannot sin. Teaching to regard what is not your body as your body would be a baseless speculation. It simply would not work. For me to regard something as my body, it must genuinely be my body. Consider the people of this world: Americans, Black people, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans. Everyone shares one blood and one body. In fact, based on the principle of blood, we are all made from the blood of our mothers and fathers. Our parents’ blood comes from our grandparents, and so on, back to Adam, Eve, and ultimately, God. Therefore, humanity is of one blood.
Humanity is one blood and one body. All people worldwide are one body. So, where did the idea of thinking of others as strangers originate? That concept is acquired. The Forbidden Fruit represents the devil; Adam and Eve were taken over by the devil’s spirit. The devil then established itself as their ‘I’, leading them to a mentally deranged state. Consequently, all people in the world are possessed by the devil, and they constantly think from the devil’s perspective. Thinking of your body as someone else’s is akin to thinking of your fingers as belonging to another. Whoever it is, they are my body.
Therefore, the Garden of Eden will be restored on Earth only when the world adopts the view that everyone is like one’s own body. If everyone treats others as their own body, people would be unable to sin. If individuals regard others as their own body, lust cannot arise. Furthermore, if anyone regards others as their own body, they cannot commit sin. No matter how good a brother’s possessions may be, what he has is mine. This is because his body is mine. Thus, there is no covetousness and no greed. Consequently, even if you try to hate, you cannot hate. No one hates their own body. Therefore, you cannot fight even if you want to, and you cannot hate even if you wish to. In such a world, there would be no need for UN agencies or international conferences.
We all become one because people worldwide treat each other as one body. Therefore, truth resides in oneness, not in division. Because truth is found in oneness, peace will be established in this world only when all humanity becomes one. When humanity’s hearts unite, the world will transform into a place where the human body cannot die. Therefore, truth is found in the ordinary, not in complexities. Since everyone is my body, the philosophy that everyone regards others as their own body will become established in this world. This philosophy will bring peace and eternal life, creating a world without death. This is the ultimate secret to not dying.
All Things Are God: The Divine Nature of Elements
For six years, this author has also proclaimed that everything in this world is God. The Bible states that all things in this world are gods. John 1:1 records that the Word of God created everything in this world. Scripture indicates that the Word is life, and the Word is God. Judging from the record that whoever receives the Word of God is God, the Word itself is God. Therefore, the statement “the Word of God created all things in this world” means that everything is God. All things created by the God of God are themselves the God of God. Initially, all things in this world were gods. However, they became occupied by the devil, becoming God imprisoned in the devil’s prison. Thus, all things in this world are gods.
Therefore, the Bible records that all things in this world are God because the Word of God is God. Since the Word of God is God, what evidence proves that all things in this world are Gods? An element contains a nucleus and a neutron, with electrons orbiting the core and the neutron. Orbiting signifies the power of life. To possess the power of life means that the essence of God resides within the elements. Last year, Columbia University professor Lee Won-Hyung presented a seminar at Seoul National University. He stated that light from neutrons can penetrate 10 billion light-years of lead. A light-year is the distance sunlight travels in one year. This implies that neutron light is emitted 10 billion times faster than sunlight. What does this signify? This author asserts that the light emitted from the neutron in the element is the God of God. Therefore, God, in His present form, is a prisoner in the devil’s prison. Since all things in the world are combinations of elements forming matter, each element represents a coexistence of the god of the devil and the God of God.
The Overcomer: Ushering in a New World and the Secret to Not Dying
When a person emerges with the Spirit of God to destroy the devil, everything in this world will change. The secret prophecy book of Jeong-Gam-rok in Korea records that when Jeong-Do-Ryeong appears, he will reform the heavens and the earth. The figure referred to as Jeong-Do-Ryeong represents those who overcome in the Bible. In Scripture, the one who overcomes is the Savior. If you do not overcome the devil, you are not qualified as a savior. If you do not kill the devil and destroy sin, you do not qualify as a savior. Only when a person who kills the devil and removes sins appears will this world become new. The world of death will transform into a world that does not die. This is the ultimate realization of the secret to not dying.
