Human Mind and Human are False.
Christianity tells us we have original sin and actual sin, and Buddhism tells us everything is in our minds and that what we hold in our minds is karma. All religions tell us to cleanse and empty our minds, but this is often misunderstood. People commonly think that what is meant by this is to abandon or give up what they intended to do.
In order for man to become righteous, we must first know about the set-up of the human mind.
The human mind is like a video. This means man lives his lie in an illusion from birth. It is comparable to a video because with his eyes, ears, nose, mouth and body – his five senses – he takes pictures of all that he experiences as he lives, and stores them inside him. These become his “self” and they dictate how he lives and behaves.
As man lives out his life within this mind – this “film” – he takes pictures of his hometown, his elementary, middle and high schools, college, military service, marriage, career and religious lie; not only has he taken pictures in his mind of his entire past, but he will continue to do so even in the future of all that he sees, hears, speaks, smells and feels.
For example, anyone who has been to Miami Beach will have an image of Miami in his mind. Man’s mind is exactly the same as a camera – the images on film in the camera are not real; they are false. The actual Miami Beach is what is real. What is inside the mind is false – they are like images on a reel of film.
It is because man is living inside a video that all religions tell us to cleanse and empty our minds; it is why we are told that the blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Man has always lived inside this mind, this film, and he has never once seen or lived in the complete world. This is what sin is; what karma is.
Your whole life, including everything that happened today, was simultaneously taken as a picture the moment you saw it. Moreover you are inside that film, the picture. When you think carefully about your day today, wasn’t it all inside your mind?
Man is not born in the world. He lives in his own mind: a shadow, a copy, of the real world. Hence, he is not complete and lives inside his illusionary mind. He is dead because his mind world is false and not real. Truth is the world and falseness is one’s own mind that has taken pictures of the world. If one copies the world and lives inside what he has copied, he is not living in the world but in a picture – neither the world he lives in nor he himself living in that non-existent world exist.
Fleeting Human Life
All people have periods of happiness and unhappiness.
Even if one has a family that other people envy,
There is unhappiness within it.
He wishes for whatever causing this unhappiness to be resolved,
But when that happens, he wishes for something else.
Wishing for human happiness is a manifestation
Of the sense of inferiority in his mind.
Even if man achieves everything he wants,
He eventually dies, and the past is all a dream.
He would know what he needs to do.If man lives knowing the way to
live forever,
Man is an entity that does not know anything.
His only wish is to get or gain things that he wants,
But this wish is just an expression of his delusions.
Time flows by, and all those whose lives have come to an end
Have disappeared from the world.
Everything they wanted to achieve were like dreams,
Dreamt during a brief nap.
Those who only exist in their thoughts have vanished,
Without having done or achieved anything.
Man does not know the ways of the world
Because he has never been born in the world,
And he is not born in the world.
He does not know the principle
That he exists because the world exists.
He has made his own world by copying the things in the world,
And he lives within this mind world,
Ignorant of where he came from and where he will go.
Salvation is giving one birth in the world without time,
And allowing him to live there.
Because time does not exist there,
There is no birth, death, aging or sickness.
And because time does not exist,
One is an eternal never-dying immortal.
Man cannot prevail over time;
Only God can take man to the world that has prevailed over time;
The world that is beyond time.
Blaming the world and time,
Suffering and sadness,
Aging, sickness, birth and death,
Desires, anger and foolishness,
The five desires and seven sins;
These things all exist in human life – the world of sin,
But they do not exist in the true world – the world of God.
