What is considered truth is that which is applied, felt, and experienced personally in one’s own life. However, within religion, what is taught as “truth” is often an indirect realization gained through someone else’s—i.e., a third party’s—experience. This, in turn, constantly stirs up awakening, resolutions, and determinations. In reality, though, it is like eating a rice cake in a picture—appealing in appearance, but ultimately something you cannot actually eat. It is knowledge and theory that looks good but cannot be applied in a practical way. In other words, the so-called realizations you gain through religion, based on someone else’s experience, amount to nothing more than theoretical knowledge or intellectual value.

They are insights and knowledge that cannot be applied to your actual life. Meanwhile, the real and requiring questions that you need in your life and problems you face—such as ‘Why must I live through this suffering and hardship?’, ‘What am I living for?’, ‘Why is this issue occurring in my body?’, or ‘What must I believe and how must I live to become a true child of God’s truth?’—remain unanswered. Instead, you keep circling around the surface of things, stuck in place like a hamster running on a wheel, with no real change between ten years ago and now. And when asked what the true substance of your faith is in such a life, it becomes difficult to answer. In the face of this reality, this message offers the answers that resolve all your questions.

Since the answers to all these questions have been given in the form of brief comments with limited space online, the responses are concise and might not fully explain everything in detail. If you would like more in-depth insights, please refer to the author’s lectures or written posts. If your questions still remain unresolved, feel free to post them on the Questions— we’ll respond either in writing or, depending on the case, with a video.
