Higher-Dimensional Wisdom Series: The Human Way (Rendao) Video Lectures (Written Record) — Lecture One
Instructor: DF
September 21, 2018
Overview
Hello, relatives, everyone.
Welcome to the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series: The Human Way (Rendao) lecture videos. I am DF. It is a great honor to have been entrusted to explain The Human Way (Rendao) to relatives.
The Human Way (Rendao) is teaching material compiled by the highest leadership of our small-universe family for all members of the family. This material stands at the height of all humanity in the greater universe and, from the breadth of the entire greater universe’s righteous great family, speaks of the meaning of human existence and the basic principles of being human. Its vision is so lofty and its reasoning so profound that nothing like it has existed on Earth before.
Because The Human Way (Rendao) is easy to understand, many relatives have instead underestimated its height and its enormous role and significance; this is the result of long being influenced and confined by Earth’s inertial thinking, forming mistaken views of life, values, and the world. In fact, not only The Human Way (Rendao)—the entire Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series is conveyed in an easy, colloquial style. Relatives on Earth have not yet realized the immense significance of spreading Higher-Dimensional Wisdom on Earth, nor have they discovered the immense value contained in the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series. For this reason, the cosmic administration in higher-dimensional space hopes that our Higher-Dimensional Wisdom volunteer team will, with the aim of “spreading higher-dimensional wisdom and achieving awakening for all people,” in a spirit of voluntary, selfless, unpaid service, in accord with the Dao and the law, naturally spread Higher-Dimensional Wisdom so that relatives on Earth all have a chance to learn the truth of life and the universe and gain the opportunity to awaken.
The Human Way (Rendao) is easy to understand; it reveals many truths of the universe and laws of the universe that Earth people do not know, and the principles it contains are very profound. Although there is no need for me to explain it word for word, so that relatives do not misunderstand, I will focus on explaining some difficult sentences and summarize each piece’s core content, main points, central ideas, and role and significance to help relatives comprehend. I hope that after listening to the lectures, relatives will, with the help of my explanations, go back and earnestly study this precious work so that, once they comprehend, these knowledges can play a role in their own lives.
Although The Human Way (Rendao) is not difficult, it is of very high stature and still requires a certain foundation of higher-dimensional wisdom to comprehend. I hope relatives who have not studied Higher-Dimensional Wisdom will first study Higher-Dimensional Wisdom Part One, Higher-Dimensional Wisdom: Q&A (1), and Higher-Dimensional Wisdom Part Two.
The version used in this lecture series is the one published on the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom public-benefit website on September 3, 2018. Because the mentor has stated that she will, in her lifetime, do her best to improve this series of higher-dimensional wisdom she has conveyed, these knowledges are still being refined; for convenient comparison in study, please download the latest version from the official site, and I also hope relatives will watch the times listed on the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom public-benefit website’s download section for text and audio versions so they can download and study in time.
I hope that through my explanations relatives can gain a correct understanding of The Human Way (Rendao) and that it will help relatives build a correct system of higher-dimensional wisdom and correct views of life, values, and the universe.
Because my talent and learning are shallow, my explanations of this work will certainly fall short in places, and omissions are inevitable; I hope relatives will forgive me. Next, let us study together Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series: The Human Way (Rendao).
Lecture One tells relatives:
Foreword
Piece One: The Meaning of Human Existence
Piece Two: The Meaning of Life
Piece Three: The Meaning of Love
Piece Four: The Role of Emotion
Piece Five: Life’s Choices
First I will speak on the “Foreword” of The Human Way (Rendao).
The Human Way (Rendao) Foreword
The “Foreword” is the author’s brief introduction to The Human Way (Rendao) as teaching material, including what Rendao discusses, the purpose of compiling this material, why simple, easy language is used, and why it was revised.
The author tells us that The Human Way (Rendao) speaks of the foundation of being human—that is, the principles of being human. The purpose of compiling The Human Way (Rendao) is the hope that all members of the family can be elevated through studying these knowledges and thereby be more capable of playing a greater role in the universe. The whole work uses easy language so that relatives of different levels and abilities can all understand it. The Human Way (Rendao) is teaching material compiled for all members of our small-universe family; the author will revise it according to relatives’ understanding and capacity in worlds of different levels, but the main content does not change. In other words, the The Human Way (Rendao) we learn is a version the author has revised to a certain extent according to Earth people’s understanding and capacity.
Relatives without a foundation in Higher-Dimensional Wisdom may find it hard to understand what the author is saying; here I can only briefly tell relatives who study The Human Way (Rendao) directly that there are many worlds in our small universe, and Earth is only one of several worlds of our small-universe family—and Earth is a backward world. I hope relatives newly encountering this work will first study Higher-Dimensional Wisdom Part One, which contains a basic introduction to our small-universe family.
Because the author lives in a negative world in higher-dimensional space, relatives in the positive world do not understand the language of the world he lives in; for this work to be conveyed to Earth through the mentor, it was in fact interpreted through a high-tech device installed on her. We can also understand it this way: the The Human Way (Rendao) we learn has been translated by the universe’s high-tech system and is the Chinese version of The Human Way (Rendao) interpreted by the mentor. That is to say, we on Earth cannot study the original text at all; the The Human Way (Rendao) we study is in fact the simplest version. Even so, we should be grateful that while we live in the positive world we can still study a work from cosmic administrators in the negative world; we must be thankful for scientific and technological progress in the entire righteous universe, thankful for the unremitting efforts of our entire small-universe family and righteous cosmic administrations at higher levels to help Earth people, and thankful for the mentor’s immortal contribution to Earth.
Below, first let us briefly survey the themes of the twenty-seven pieces of The Human Way (Rendao).
The Human Way (Rendao) consists of twenty-seven short pieces; the titles of these twenty-seven pieces are:
Piece One: The Meaning of Human Existence; Piece Two: The Meaning of Life
Piece Three: The Meaning of Love; Piece Four: The Role of Emotion
Piece Five: Life’s Choices; Piece Six: Flowers of Hope
Piece Seven: Humanity’s True Home; Piece Eight: Love
Piece Nine: The Dao; Piece Ten: Dedication
Piece Eleven: The Inner World of Human Beings; Piece Twelve: Wishes
Piece Thirteen: Measure; Piece Fourteen: Phenomena
Piece Fifteen: Harmony; Piece Sixteen: The Human World
Piece Seventeen: Thought; Piece Eighteen: Relationships Between People
Piece Nineteen: Conduct; Piece Twenty: Human Ideology
Piece Twenty-One: The Panorama of Life; Piece Twenty-Two: Faith
Piece Twenty-Three: Responsibility and Duty; Piece Twenty-Four: Windows of the Heart
Piece Twenty-Five: Distant Vision; Piece Twenty-Six: Fulfillment
Piece Twenty-Seven: The Right Path in the Human World
Each of these twenty-seven pieces stands alone as an essay; each is rare teaching material. When we have thoroughly learned each piece and then read the whole again, we will see clearly: the right path in the human world is right before our eyes. Then how do we find the correct track in life? How do we walk it and reach fulfillment in life? Let us study together the teaching material The Human Way (Rendao). Let us listen together to the teaching of the highest leadership of our small universe, comprehend the height, breadth, and depth of this material, and thereby grasp its guiding role for us Earth people. Below, I will summarize and explain each piece for relatives.
The Human Way (Rendao) Piece One: The Meaning of Human Existence
Summary of “The Meaning of Human Existence”
Below we study together The Human Way (Rendao) Piece One, “The Meaning of Human Existence.”
This short piece, including notes, is a little over nine hundred Chinese characters in six paragraphs.
The first paragraph speaks of how life in the universe came to be.
The second paragraph speaks of the role of life in the universe and the responsibility and tasks borne by humanity.
The third paragraph speaks of human particularity, by which humanity has been endowed with many abilities.
The fourth paragraph speaks of humanity’s position: humanity is required to possess very high wisdom and ability.
The fifth paragraph speaks of how the rapid development of the human world owes itself to human ability and to the help and support of relevant cosmic administrations.
The sixth paragraph emphasizes that humanity’s existence in the universe has very great significance. It introduces The Human Way (Rendao) and hopes family members will all comprehend these knowledges and thereby live in the universe in the manner of a truly high-wisdom life.
The summary above is the gist of what “The Meaning of Human Existence” expounds.
Difficult Passages in “The Meaning of Human Existence”
Before summarizing the core content of this piece for relatives, I will first explain key concepts and difficult sentences.
Term: universe
The universe is a comprehensive force field formed by information acting on energy.
First I explain “universe.” Earlier, in the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom lecture videos, I said that “universe” is Earth people’s loose name for vast nature. At that stage I only explained what Earth people mean by “universe.” Going further, the universe is a comprehensive force field formed by information acting on energy. All things in the universe arise from this comprehensive force field; all are influenced and acted on by this comprehensive force field—even natural laws are the result of the universe’s comprehensive force field.
How to understand
The emergence of humanity is an expression of the universe’s own developmental needs. As the universe continually develops and progresses upward, in different periods the universe will have different needs for life.
Next I explain the hard sentence: “The emergence of humanity is an expression of the universe’s own developmental needs. As the universe continually develops and progresses upward, in different periods the universe will have different needs for life.”
Both of these sentences mention the universe’s needs. Many relatives will wonder: the universe is not a life—how can it have needs? How should we correctly understand the universe’s needs? This touches very deep cosmic mysteries. In fact, the universe and life are very closely related. Life does not only need energy provided by the universe to survive; it also needs high-frequency energy provided by the universe to elevate wisdom and create new species. At the same time, the universe also needs life to emit information of different levels to act on energy in the universe, raise the frequency of energy in the universe, and add vitality and motive force to the universe—a virtuous cycle of mutual need. At the universe’s beginning there were also information and energy, but without information emitted by life the universe was flat and dull and lacked vitality. If the universe does not have enough vitality, it cannot form planets, still less provide motive force for galaxies’ rotation, the operation of all things, and life’s survival and development.
I have already explained to relatives that the universe is a comprehensive force field formed by information acting on energy. The height or lowness of energy frequency in the universe and the magnitude of the comprehensive force field’s action all depend on information emitted by life. The “universe’s needs” spoken of in these two sentences are in fact a description of mutual need between the universe and life; this is utterly different in meaning from one concrete life’s needs, and I hope relatives can recognize this.
The explanation above is the result of my asking the author through the mentor in order to explain this piece; I believe it will greatly help relatives deeply understand the meaning of human existence.
How to understand
These needs are endowed by the Creator upon lives of different levels, so that life shoulders responsibility and mission for the universe’s continual development and advance.
Next I explain for relatives how to understand: “These needs are endowed by the Creator upon lives of different levels, so that life shoulders responsibility and mission for the universe’s continual development and advance.”
Some relatives will ask: how can the Creator endow needs upon life? I will use an analogy and relatives will understand. People who manufacture cars need cars to carry people, run fast, and also be safe, fuel-efficient, and long-lasting, and so on. So they use sound design, advanced technology, and fine materials and parts to produce cars and give cars good quality and outstanding performance.
By the same principle, so that life can well fulfill responsibility and mission, the Creator has set different levels of quality and performance for lives of different levels. For example, the Creator created the dung beetle species so that this species would take on the responsibility and mission of clearing animal feces; the Creator created the domestic dog species so domestic dogs would serve as protectors of human beings; the Creator created cattle and horses so cattle and horses would help people with work.
Please imagine for a moment the character and abilities of these kinds of animals, and you can understand how different needs are endowed by the Creator upon lives of different levels. Of course, there are also species of higher level than humanity; because we lack understanding of them, we cannot illustrate with examples.
How to understand
The existence of life contributes very great power to the universe.
Next I explain how to understand: “The existence of life contributes very great power to the universe.”
Earlier I introduced that the universe is a comprehensive force field formed by information acting on energy; all information emitted by life acts on energy in the universe and gives energy vitality; only when energy in the universe has vitality can it benefit the universe’s development. At the same time, some higher-level high-wisdom lives contribute very great power to the universe’s upward development by creating life and building worlds.
How to understand
The space in which humanity lives contains very many unstable factors.
There is also the sentence: “The space in which humanity lives contains very many unstable factors.” This needs explanation for relatives.
The piece’s later note to “unstable factors” says: here “unstable factors” refers to unstable matters; “matters” here refers to all phenomena of activity in the universe. The space where humanity lives is very broad—not only our Milky Way has humanity; many other “Milky Ways” also have humanity. We cannot know how many unstable factors exist in the space where humanity lives. But we know that the most unstable factor is life. This is also why, within each range of space of different levels, a high-wisdom species is needed as leader for other species. As leaders, humanity’s greatest responsibility is to lead other species to survive in accord with the Dao and provide positive power for the universe’s development. As relatives continue to study The Human Way (Rendao) in depth, this will become ever clearer.
Core Content of “The Meaning of Human Existence”
Next I sort out for relatives the core content of “The Meaning of Human Existence.”
According to the piece’s expression, I summarize four core points (as on screen):
One: Humanity’s origin
Humanity was created by the Creator.
Two: Humanity’s position in the universe
Leader in lower-dimensional space.
Three: Humanity’s duties and tasks
To lead and drive development and progress in lower-dimensional space in the universe.
Four: The role humanity plays in the universe
To lead unstable factors existing in lower-dimensional space so they return to the correct track, so that space at this stratum receives sound management and development and lays a foundation for the universe’s development.
Central Idea of “The Meaning of Human Existence”
“The Meaning of Human Existence,” by clarifying humanity’s origin, humanity’s position in the universe, the duties and tasks borne, the role played in the universe, and the value embodied, lets us understand that humanity’s existence in the universe has very great significance. It teaches us to have a correct understanding of humanity and of our own lives.
What “The Meaning of Human Existence” Inspires in Us
As the first piece of The Human Way (Rendao), “The Meaning of Human Existence” states its purpose plainly: from the perspective of the greater universe it views humanity and lets each person see and know themselves placed in the greater universe. One could say that since there have been humans on Earth, no one has had so high an understanding of humanity, nor has there ever been education so apt. This short piece raises the height of our understanding and expands the scope of our lives; it brings us back from Earth people’s narrow plane to cosmic people’s three-dimensional space. It can lift us from blindly surviving lives to high-wisdom lives shouldering duty and mission. As members of humanity, it is very necessary for us to understand the meaning of human existence; only when we understand these basics do we know which kind we belong to and can find our position in the universe and among humanity. Understanding the meaning of human existence is the foundation of our building correct views of life, values, and the universe; it is also our most basic cognition for being human. For detail, please read the short piece “The Meaning of Human Existence” with care, relatives.
“The Meaning of Human Existence” ends here; next we study The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Two, “The Meaning of Life.”
The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Two: The Meaning of Life
Core Content of “The Meaning of Life”
First I sort out the piece’s core content for relatives. The core content of “The Meaning of Life” is as follows:
One: Description of life
The whole process of one person’s life.
Two: The importance of valuing life
If we do not value our own life, we will miss experiencing life’s many journeys.
Three: The importance of reflecting on life
Only by reflecting on our own life with heart can we accumulate experience and grow in wisdom.
Four: The truth of life
Life is one life journey given us to embody our own value.
Five: The importance of understanding the truth of life
If we do not understand these truths, we will not value or reflect on our own life, nor will we understand life’s meaning; such a life is inevitably dim. Only those who understand these truths know the meaning of their own existence and see their direction clearly; only then can life be splendid.
Six: Life is not easy
We need to temper all kinds of ability before we can survive and develop in the universe with ease.
Seven: The meaning of life
Create value on life’s journey and make our own lives brilliant and colorful.
This short piece is only a little over six hundred characters. Although it does not directly tell us what the meaning of life is, we can comprehend the meaning of life by studying this piece. Life is one life journey given us to embody our own value; each of us must value our own life and not miss experiencing life’s many courses. We must also reflect on our own life with heart, continually accumulate life’s experience, grow in wisdom, temper our abilities, shoulder our mission, create value on life’s journey, live with more meaning, and make our own lives more brilliant and colorful.
We are clear on the core content the piece teaches.
How to understand
Life is one life journey given us to embody our own value.
I will further explain the profound meaning of the sentence “Life is one life journey given us to embody our own value.”
This sentence is a very classic line in the teaching material The Human Way (Rendao); its meaning is very profound. One could say that understanding this sentence is understanding the meaning of life and the role and meaning of a person’s existence. Below I analyze this sentence’s profound meaning to inspire relatives’ understanding of life.
First layer of meaning: Life is a gift the Creator gives each person. Human beings are advanced existences in the universe—highly intelligent products created with unimaginably advanced technology, very high-frequency information, energy, matter, and so on, endowed with noble character and outstanding performance.
Second layer of meaning: The most essential meaning of a human life is to embody one’s own value. To embody value, one must live according to the Creator’s design and play a leading role in the universe.
Third layer of meaning: A human life is also a journey of continually exploring cosmic mysteries. So long as one lives in accord with the Creator’s design, selflessly dedicates, one will continually raise one’s energy frequency and have the opportunity to experience the beauty of life in different worlds and to discover and appreciate cosmic scenes in vaster cosmic space. While exploring cosmic mysteries, one feels the wonder and surprise the greater universe brings us.
The sentence “Life is one life journey given us to embody our own value” is worth engraving on our hearts.
Difficult passages
Why have we come to Earth?
Quite a few reader relatives ask: why have we come to Earth? To help relatives understand the meaning of life and grasp this brief phase of life on Earth, I will tell relatives what we have come to Earth for.
We were arranged by relevant cosmic administrations to reincarnate on Earth and become positive lives on Earth; there are mainly three situations:
One is the first lifetime as human—that is, a new life was born in the universe;
Another is reincarnation from the negative world to the positive world to carry out a mission;
Another is coming from the negative world to the positive world to temper basic ability—that is, basic ability was insufficient and one could not play much of a role in the negative world, so one needed to continue tempering in the positive world to gain enough basic ability before returning to the negative world to play a role.
Understanding this truth makes clear what we have come to Earth to do. In fact, relatives in their first lifetime as human and relatives who have come from the negative world to the positive world to temper are, through diligent dedication, tempering their abilities in every respect and raising their lives’ energy frequency, laying a solid foundation for development in higher-dimensional worlds. Relatives who have reincarnated from the negative world to the positive world to carry out a mission are, in different fields, serving as leaders, breaking through and transcending the self; while playing their role as high-wisdom lives they build new merit and store more achievement for returning to higher-dimensional worlds. Whichever kind we belong to, these few decades or more than a century on Earth are only a very short span in the long river of life; all should be cherished.
Central Idea of “The Meaning of Life”
This short piece speaks of the meaning or importance of understanding “the meaning of life.” Life is one life journey given us to embody our own value. It teaches us to understand life’s truth, see life’s meaning clearly, value and reflect on our own life, thereby strengthen ability and grow in wisdom, and make our lives more brilliant and colorful and embody life’s value.
Educational Significance of “The Meaning of Life”
If The Human Way (Rendao) Piece One, “The Meaning of Human Existence,” under the background of the greater universe tells us macroscopically the meaning of the human species’ existence in the universe, then Piece Two, “The Meaning of Life,” tells us concretely, from each person’s whole life, the meaning of life.
Because very few people on Earth understand the meaning of human existence or the meaning of life, many people neither value nor reflect on their own life; they all live blindly, leaving their lives without value or meaning. Although “The Meaning of Life” is only a little over six hundred characters, it explains the meaning of life very clearly and tells us that life is one life journey given us to embody our own value. Each of us must value our own life and not miss experiencing life’s many courses. We must also reflect on our own life with heart, continually accumulate life’s experience, and grow in wisdom; temper our abilities, shoulder our mission, create value on life’s journey, live with more meaning, and make our own lives more brilliant and colorful. This has very important educational significance for us Earth people. Each of us has a very brief time of tempering on Earth in this lifetime; the opportunity is rare, so we cannot live blindly without value or meaning.
“The Meaning of Life” ends here; below I explain for relatives The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Three, “The Meaning of Love.”
The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Three: The Meaning of Love
This piece is only a little over seven hundred characters. It looks simple but is not so easy to understand; to understand this piece one needs first to know certain truths of the universe. To help relatives deeply comprehend this piece, I will first explain difficult sentences, then sort out core content, to help relatives grasp this piece’s essence.
Difficult Passages in “The Meaning of Love”
How to understand
“Love” can also be understood as the universe’s “glue”; this “glue” makes all things in the universe mutually connected and become one indivisible whole.
First look at this sentence: “‘Love’ can also be understood as the universe’s ‘glue’; this ‘glue’ makes all things in the universe mutually connected and become one indivisible whole.”
How should we understand this sentence?
In fact, once we understand the meaning of “glue,” this sentence is easy to understand. “Love” is a word that is hard to define; the author uses “glue” to describe love in the universe so we can understand love’s role. We should know that in different worlds in the universe there will be different language and ways of describing the same thing. Relatives in higher-dimensional space believe that the positive effect produced by the universe’s comprehensive force field is love. This positive effect acts on all things in the universe and provides positive power for all things in the universe; this positive power is like glue, making all things in the universe mutually connected, nourishing all things in the universe, and playing an enormous role. From the beginning the universe has run in a positive way; all things and life arise from this positive running law; relatives in higher-dimensional space understand this cosmic law and truth more deeply.
“Love” can also be understood as the universe’s “glue.” This “glue” makes all things in the universe mutually connected and become one indivisible whole. This sentence expresses the truth that the positive effect produced by the universe’s comprehensive force field is the most essential interpretation of love. The love we Earth people understand is a kind of positive emotion. In fact, we can also compare the positive effect produced by the universe’s comprehensive force field to the universe’s positive emotion—only the universe’s positive emotion is absolutely selfless and pure, giving to all things without any distinction. When advanced beings created high-wisdom species they endowed each life with this power of love, so that high-wisdom lives have the character of selfless great love and selfless dedication. Only our current life level is still very low and we are still far from the pure state the Creator set; thus it is not easy to understand the love the author expounds. So long as we break through the narrow self, we can understand the meaning of love the author expounds.
How to understand
The power of “love” is very great; it arises from the universe’s own laws.
How do we understand the sentence “The power of ‘love’ is very great; it arises from the universe’s own laws”?
First I explain “the power of love arises from the universe’s own laws”; once we understand this second half, the first half, “the power of love is very great,” goes without saying.
The universe is a comprehensive force field formed by information acting on energy; the law this comprehensive force field naturally forms is cosmic law; the power the comprehensive force field produces is also the power produced by the universe’s own laws. In a broad sense, the power of love is the action of love’s comprehensive force field; this action sustains the entire universe’s positive running, supports galaxies’ and planets’ rotation and all life’s survival. Once we understand this, we easily understand the first half, “the power of love is very great.” We should say that we Earth people’s understanding of love is comparatively narrow; many people’s love is confined only to personal emotion and is hard to reach selflessness; such a state obstructs understanding of love. The piece “The Meaning of Love” can help us open our perspective and let us stand at the universe’s height to understand love and its meaning.
How to understand
Love is the universe’s true manifestation; “love” is also our bridge to connecting with cosmic information.
Next I explain how to understand “Love is the universe’s true manifestation; ‘love’ is also our bridge to connecting with cosmic information.”
First I explain “Love is the universe’s true manifestation.”
A reversed expression of this sentence is: the universe truly manifests love, or the universe truly embodies love. If we observe with care the environment in which we live, we will find that all conditions we humans need to survive are fully provided—for example sunlight, air, water, plants, animals, and so on. In fact advanced beings and our senior forebears set these up and created them for us. Not only that: the orderly running of galaxies also embodies love; therefore we say love is the universe’s true manifestation.
Next, “Love is also our bridge to connecting with cosmic information”: when our hearts are full of love, our lives are in a positive running state; the loving information we emit provides loving power for the universe. Likewise, the universe’s comprehensive force field also returns to us loving information and energy. Therefore we say love is also our bridge to connecting with cosmic information.
Below I again sort out for relatives the core content of the piece “The Meaning of Love.”
Core Content of “The Meaning of Love”
One: The Creator’s gift to life
Feeling love’s presence.
Two: Description of love
Glue in the universe.
Three: Love’s origin
Arises from cosmic laws.
Four: Love’s role
When a person is full of love, they will fulfill their own duties and obligations and make their due contribution to this world. Love is the universe’s true manifestation and is also a bridge to cosmic information. Under the action of the power of “love,” life and the universe promote each other. At the same time, “love” is also a power connecting all things in the universe; this power runs through cosmic space and is ceaselessly playing an enormous role.
Five: The Creator’s design for life
So long as all existences living in a world of love are influenced by love’s information, they will naturally go execute their mission. For example, cattle and horses’ mission is to help humanity; cats’ mission is to guard granaries and catch mice, and so on. Of course, on Earth there are many evil species created by evil creators; those species are influenced by negative information and obstruct the universe’s upward development—for example, the “four pests” we all know are evil species specialized in destruction.
The love described in the short piece “The Meaning of Love” is not the “love” worldly people understand, but “love” that arises from cosmic laws—selfless love. Because “love” is not easy to define in words, the author uses “glue” to vividly describe “love” in the universe.
Although the short piece “The Meaning of Love” is very short, it reveals very profound principles; relatives without a certain foundation in higher-dimensional wisdom will not easily grasp the profound meaning the author intends to express. So relatives need to study all knowledges in the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series and understand them in an integrated way in order to elevate their wisdom and use these knowledges to change their own destiny. Actually we may understand it this way: because we Earth people have the word “love” and are used to using the word “love” to express positive emotion, the author borrows this word to expound related truths of the universe and lets us, through the word love, learn more truths of the universe.
Central Idea of “The Meaning of Love”
“The Meaning of Love” uses “glue” to describe love’s role in the universe and clarifies that love’s power arises from the universe’s own laws. Love’s power not only promotes humanity’s propagation and the human world’s development; it also sustains all things’ survival and running in the universe. By clarifying that the universe is a universe of love and that love’s power supports all things’ survival and running in the universe—this truth of the universe—it profoundly interprets the meaning of love. It teaches us that once we understand such truth we should fully use love’s power to do what we wish to do, so that love’s power can play a greater role in us and we can make a greater contribution to the universe. This is this piece’s central idea.
The Human Way (Rendao) speaks of the basic principles of being human; we are originally lives of love. Deeply knowing the meaning of love is very important for our reflecting on life, choosing the correct path in life, and making our lives splendid and meaningful. One could say “The Meaning of Love” is an indispensable lesson in our lives; that we in Earth’s positive world can receive such high-end education owes itself to our small universe’s highest management spreading higher-dimensional wisdom on Earth.
Piece Three, “The Meaning of Love,” ends here; next we study Piece Four, “The Role of Emotion.”
The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Four: The Role of Emotion
Difficult Passages in “The Role of Emotion”
First I explain difficult sentences for relatives.
How to understand
What kind of information a person’s life holds will influence how that person judges outer things with emotion.
If a person’s life is all positive information—for example selflessness, dedication, optimism, positivity, universal love, responsibility, and so on—that person will judge outer things with positive emotion. If a person’s life is all negative information—for example selfishness, complaint, coldness, negativity, and so on—that person will judge outer things with negative emotion. People living in lower-dimensional worlds have both positive and negative information in their lives; when positive emotion leads a person’s life, that person is a positive-energy person; when negative emotion leads a person’s life, that person is a negative-energy person.
How to understand
When a person lives in the universe with positive emotion, what the universe returns to that person is positive power; this power lets that person continually accumulate positive information.
How to understand: “When a person lives in the universe with positive emotion, what the universe returns to that person is positive power; this power lets that person continually accumulate positive information.”
For this sentence, once we understand how the universe returns power to a person and how positive information is accumulated, we understand the sentence’s meaning.
First I explain for relatives “When a person lives in the universe with positive emotion, what the universe returns to that person is positive power.”
In fact, this is a setting the Creator has for righteous lives. When a person lives in the universe with positive emotion, it shows this person is in a positive running state—that is, the life’s running accords with the program the Creator set. When a person emits positive information, what the cosmic energy field returns is also positive information and energy; this return can also be understood as resonance or reaction; this positive information and energy acts on the self and fills the self with positive energy and more strength. This is a great cosmic mystery and also cosmic law; it reveals the inseparable relation between people and the universe.
Next I explain “this power lets that person continually accumulate positive information.”
When a person gains positive power, their life’s core system is in a positive running state. When the life’s core system stays in a positive running state, it continually emits positive information; this person continually receives positive information and energy returned by the cosmic energy field—that is, continually accumulating positive information and positive energy for themselves. This sentence expounds a very profound principle and reveals a truth of the universe. When a person lives in the universe with positive emotion, it shows this person’s life is in a positive running state; only positive running accords with cosmic law and accords with the program the Creator set for a person. When a person lives in a positive way, between person and universe positive information and positive energy are a virtuous cycle; the greater the contribution to the universe, the greater the universe’s return. Once we understand the effect positive emotion produces, it is not hard to understand the result negative emotion produces, because the effect negative emotion produces is exactly the opposite of the effect positive emotion produces.
How to understand “When a person is completely corroded by negative information, this person’s original life information will be remade.”
Original life information refers to information injected when the Creator created life—that is, information a person has innately; we belong to righteous lives. When the Creator created us, information such as righteousness, universal love, selfless dedication, fearlessness in hardship, courage to take responsibility, courage to create, and so on was set; this information gave our humanity righteous human nature and conscience. When a person is completely corroded by negative information, that person’s innate information is completely buried, righteous human nature and conscience are lost, and the person becomes a completely negative-energy life or even an evil life.
Next I sort out for relatives this piece’s core content.
Core Content of “The Role of Emotion”
One: How emotion arises
Expressing emotion is an ability the Creator set for advanced life. What kind of emotion a person produces is related to what kind of life information they have—that is, what kind of information a person’s life holds will influence how that person judges outer things with emotion. Information in life falls in two parts: one part is original life information—that is, information injected when the Creator created the life’s core system; the other part is information accumulated after birth in life’s course.
Two: The effect and result of positive emotion
When a person lives in the universe with positive emotion, what the universe returns to that person is positive power; this power lets that person continually accumulate positive information; when their own life’s strength continually plays its role led by positive information, they can press forward courageously and continually develop upward.
Three: The effect and consequence of negative emotion
When a person produces negative emotion, what the universe gives that person is negative power; this negative power lets that person continually accumulate negative information and thus walk toward darkness. When a person is completely corroded by negative information, this person’s original life information will be remade. This sentence reveals the truth of life. We were originally righteous lives created by the Creator; when we were created, the information the Creator injected was purely positive information—but if we continually accumulate negative information, the original life information injected by the Creator will be corroded and remade. Positive-energy lives become negative-energy lives or even evil lives in this way. Therefore each of us must be alert to negative emotion, consciously block negative information, and being able to control and adjust one’s own emotion also reflects a person’s ability and wisdom.
Four: Using emotion to serve the universe
When we know our own emotion plays such a large role in the universe, we should fully use our own emotion to serve the universe.
Central Idea of “The Role of Emotion”
“The Role of Emotion,” by expounding the roles of positive and negative emotion, lets readers understand the truth of emotion’s effect on one’s own life and on the universe, know the relation between people and the universe, and thereby know to use emotion to serve the universe and play a greater role in the universe—this is this piece’s central idea.
When speaking on the Foreword I introduced that The Human Way (Rendao) was written by our small universe’s highest leadership for all members of the small-universe family; the whole book, line after line, pours in the author’s emotion. The author and other cosmic administrators truly do everything to benefit the universe; they have truly been kind to all existences in the universe. It is this noble outlook and vast mind that accumulated very high-frequency information and made it possible to write teaching material this clear and simple, educating nearly ten billion people of the family. Such teaching material is utterly unique on our Earth. That we in Earth’s lower-dimensional world can study knowledge this high-end—we should know we are thrice blessed.
The above is my brief explanation of The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Four, “The Role of Emotion.”
Next I explain for relatives The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Five, “Life’s Choices.”
The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Five: Life’s Choices
Core Content of “Life’s Choices”
To help relatives understand this piece, I have sorted its core content into the following nine points.
One: Two directions of life’s choice
Correct direction in life and mistaken direction in life.
Two: The root of choosing life’s direction
Accord with the universe’s developmental needs and strive forward toward higher levels.
Three: Description of correct direction in life
Lead oneself with correct thought, accord with the universe’s developmental needs, strive forward toward higher levels, never stray from the track, and forever be a force for the universe’s continual upward development.
This is my description based on the piece’s third paragraph.
Four: Reasons for choosing wrong direction in life
There are two reasons for choosing wrong direction in life: one is not understanding truths of the universe, being gradually corrupted by a negative outer environment and negative-energy people, and falling toward darkness. The second is not correctly understanding the relation between life and the universe, being unable to accept the righteous universe’s unified management and education, wishing only to live and develop freely according to one’s own fancy, disregarding cosmic law and development.
Five: Consequences of choosing wrong direction in life
The many abilities the Creator endowed are wasted in vain; no positive role is played in the universe. This way of survival not in accord with the Dao ultimately receives severe sanction from cosmic law.
Six: The relation between humanity and the universe
Humanity and the universe have a relation of mutual reliance and joint development.
Seven: The importance of seeing one’s own position and one’s relation to the universe
When a person can truly understand their own position in the universe, they will make sound plans for their own life and will not blindly survive in the vast universe. When all people clearly see their own relation to the universe, they will consciously fulfill their own duties and obligations and contribute strength to the universe’s continual development.
Eight: Humanity’s course of growth
Under the guidance of humanity’s relevant departments in the universe, humanity survives and develops in accord with cosmic law along the correct direction and contributes its own strength to the universe.
Nine: The author’s hope for all relatives
The hope is that all relatives can make correct choices in life, control their own direction in life, and burst forth with even greater strength in the universe—thereby leaving brilliant chapters that belong to us in the universe’s overall course of development.
Central Idea of “Life’s Choices”
Through the piece “Life’s Choices” the author clearly tells us that each person’s life faces a choice between two utterly different directions of development and the results of different choices. It clarifies humanity’s identity as leaders and the duties and mission borne. It lets us understand that according with the universe’s developmental needs and striving forward toward higher levels is the root of our choice of life’s direction as leaders. It lets everyone who studies this piece understand the reasons for choosing wrong direction in life; it hopes all relatives can make correct choices in life, control their own direction in life, burst forth with even greater strength, and thereby leave brilliant chapters that belong to us in the universe’s overall course of development.
Important Meaning of “Life’s Choices” for Earth People
“Life’s Choices” has important guiding significance for us Earth people. When we understand life’s truth and the principles of being human, we can make correct choices in life and walk the correct path in life according to this piece’s teaching.
Because Earth relatives without exception all stand in a vast negative-energy field, the great majority of relatives have not returned to self-nature and are still in low-frequency life states and levels. Therefore, at present relatives should, according to the teaching of administrations in higher-dimensional space, return to the nature of righteous high-wisdom lives, use limited time on Earth to quickly raise energy frequency, and make it their correct choice in life to gain the ability and opportunity to be elevated to live and dedicate in higher-dimensional worlds—only then can they have the opportunity in life’s long journey continually to perfect themselves, elevate themselves, explore more cosmic mysteries, make a greater contribution to the universe, and embody greater value. Otherwise, because they did not walk life’s correct path and could not keep pace with the universe’s development, they will let their life journey end on this low-frequency planet.
Good; The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Five, “Life’s Choices,” ends here.
The Human Way (Rendao) Lecture One — Summary
Below I give a brief summary of this lecture.
Lecture One explained for relatives
Foreword
Piece One: The Meaning of Human Existence
Piece Two: The Meaning of Life
Piece Three: The Meaning of Love
Piece Four: The Role of Emotion
Piece Five: Life’s Choices
The Human Way (Rendao) speaks of the way of being human—that is, the basic principles of being human. The first five pieces are the foundation of those basic principles: when we understand the meaning of human existence, know the meaning of life, know the meaning of love, also understand the role of emotion, and make correct choices in life, we can step onto the correct track in life.
In studying The Human Way (Rendao), we should be clear that the author uses twenty-seven articles to describe the correct track in life and also uses these twenty-seven articles to lead us; having a view of the whole rather than looking at each piece in isolation will help us more deeply comprehend this teaching material.
Lecture One ends here. Thank you, relatives, for watching. See you in the next lecture.

The Human Way (Rendao) Piece Six: Flowers of Hope
Difficult Passages in “Flowers of Hope”
Term
Worlds of different levels
Refers to worlds of different levels in our small universe.
First I explain for relatives “worlds of different levels.”
Worlds of different levels refers to worlds of different levels in our small universe. Because each world’s energy field in space is of a different level, the level of life living there also differs. Therefore the various different worlds are called worlds of different levels.
How to understand
“Flowers of hope” were sown by senior forebears as seeds of hope into worlds of different levels to be elevated and tempered; they all play their roles in their respective worlds. Wherever the seeds of hope are sown, there they take root and sprout, bringing hope to that world; at the same time they grow, enabling themselves to play a greater role in the universe.
The short piece Flowers of Hope is easy to understand, but relatives without a foundation in Higher-Dimensional Wisdom (DF) may find the passage on screen harder to follow. Here I offer a brief explanation for relatives who are studying The Human Way (Rendao) directly.
First sentence: “The flowers of hope were taken by our ancestors as seeds of hope and sown into worlds of different levels to refine and temper themselves; in each world they play their own part.”
This describes how every younger generation in our small-universe family is sent by our ancestors as a “flower of hope” to worlds of different levels to refine and temper themselves and to play their respective roles. That is because our small-universe family has built worlds on seventeen physical planets and four non-physical planets. Those worlds differ in level; the training differs as well. The “worlds of different levels” in the first sentence are these worlds. The Earth we inhabit is only one of the seventeen physical planets; on Earth there is a positive world and also a negative world.
Second sentence: “Wherever the seeds of hope are sown, there they take root and sprout, bringing hope to that world; at the same time they grow, enabling themselves to play a greater role in the universe.”
Once you understand what the “worlds of different levels” in the first sentence refer to, the second sentence is easy to grasp. The scope in which the seeds of hope are sown is precisely the worlds on our family’s seventeen physical planets and four non-physical planets. Relatives on Earth, for example, are seeds of hope sown onto Earth. Our ancestors hope that we will take root and bloom on Earth, bring hope to this world, and play our corresponding roles here. Through continual training on Earth we grow and may rise to other worlds in higher-dimensional space to play a greater role. The higher the dimensional level we reach, the greater the role we play in the universe.
Understanding Flowers of Hope
This short piece is only a little over eight hundred characters: simple, clear, and profound in meaning. The author compares the descendants of our righteous family to “flowers of hope” and places earnest hope in us. The author hopes not only that we will all become flowers of hope and bring hope to the worlds in which we grow, but also that we will use our righteous power to awaken the souls of those flowers of hope that have been eroded by darkness. We are told that those “flowers of hope” that have been eroded by darkness still have hope: we are to give them greater tolerance and a chance to return, which fully expresses the care of the ancestors in higher-dimensional space for their descendants—care that never abandons them.
Each of us is sown as a seed of hope by our ancestors into worlds of different levels to refine and temper ourselves; this is not metaphor but fact. Calling us “flowers of hope” is vivid and apt. We are hoped to carry our ancestors’ hope into worlds of different levels and bloom, bringing hope to each world and to the universe. So long as each of us knows clearly that we are our ancestors’ “flowers of hope,” that we are to bring beauty and brilliance to this world, let our fine qualities shine, and take responsibility for our world and the universe, we will not dishonor the name “flowers of hope.” If each of us becomes a “flower of hope” in the true sense, our family will have great hope—and will naturally help the universe develop upward. That concludes the sixth piece, Flowers of Hope.
Next we study together the seventh piece of The Human Way (Rendao), Humanity’s True Home.
The Human Way (Rendao), Piece Seven: Humanity’s True Home
Difficult points in Humanity’s True Home
First, for relatives, terms and difficult sentences.
Explanation of terms and sentences
The human species takes many forms in the universe.
We already know that human beings are a high-wisdom species created by advanced beings in the universe; in fact humanity also divides into different kinds and many levels. People of different kinds and levels have different modes of appearance. By “mode of appearance” is meant the outer look of a life—what it looks like.
Explanation of terms and sentences
Positive world and negative world
The worlds in which human beings live divide into positive worlds and negative worlds. A “positive world” means a world in which positive lives such as ours live. Positive life can exist only on physical planets. The text puts it this way: “The positive world is the foundation of life’s formation and the base where life trains its basic abilities.” A “negative world” means a world where negative lives live. Negative life can exist both on physical planets and on non-physical planets. After human beings have trained their basic abilities in the positive world, they can live long in the negative world; the negative world is humanity’s true home!
Because I introduced positive and negative life and positive and negative worlds in detail in the lecture Overview of Yin and Yang in the Universe, I will not repeat that here. Relatives who are not yet familiar with negative and positive life or negative and positive worlds may refer to the video of that lecture.
Explanation of terms and sentences
Basic abilities
Basic human abilities are the fundamental abilities everyone should have. They include cognition, thinking, survival, learning, work, and creative ability, and so on.
Explanation of terms and sentences
Life vehicle
This refers to the body. The body of positive life is of positive matter; the body of negative life is of negative matter. The two kinds of vehicle determine that the two modes of life differ greatly in where and how they can live in the universe.
Explanation of terms and sentences
The difference between positive and negative life
The essential difference between positive and negative life is the vehicle. The vehicle of positive life is created by creators according to the living conditions of one physical planet; it is suited only to living on that planet. We Earth humans, for example, are suited only to life on Earth. Moreover, the lifespan of positive vehicles is limited. The greatest role of positive life in the positive world is to emit information and propagate life while training basic abilities. One can say that the positive world is the starting place for human life at our level—not a place to stay forever; the negative world is our true home.
The vehicle of negative life is far more advanced than that of positive life. Negative vehicles are more adaptable in the universe. Negative life can live on both positive and negative planets. The higher the level of negative life, the larger its living space in the universe, and the longer the lifespan of its vehicle: so long as it keeps pace with the rise of the cosmic energy field and lives in accord with the Way, it can live long in the universe and embody its value. Higher-level negative life has more chance to see vaster stretches of the cosmos and to explore more of its mysteries. Negative life can relatively easily move from one world to another; positive life can hardly move from one planet to another.
Introducing the difference between positive and negative life to relatives is to help relatives understand why humanity’s true home is said to lie in the negative world.
Main points of Humanity’s True Home
To help relatives understand, I summarize this piece in five points:
One: The material of life vehicles differs on different physical planets
This means that creators create vehicles of positive life from different materials according to the specific environment of each physical planet.
Two: How people appear in the negative world
The higher-frequency the negative world, the more advanced the appearance of its humans. Negative relatives can judge a life’s level by the strength of the light a person shows and the dignity of their outer form. However, blocked by the positive vehicle, we positive lives cannot see these truths.
Three: There are negative worlds and positive worlds in the universe
Positive and negative worlds correspond to each other in the universe. The positive world is the foundation of life’s formation and the base where life trains basic abilities; the negative world is humanity’s true home.
Four: The positive world is the foundation of life’s formation and the base where life trains basic abilities
Life at our level takes form in the positive world; only after training the necessary basic abilities there can we live long in the negative world. “Life” here means human beings and other advanced life—not every positive life can transition to negative life.
Five: The negative world is humanity’s true home
Why? Because life in the negative world is freer and can more easily roam the cosmic spaces within its ability and come to know its living environment. The negative world belongs to the high-level, spirit-first kind of world; life there is not limited as in the positive world. Therefore the negative world is our destination and, still more, the garden where we continually rise and develop.
The important role and meaning of Humanity’s True Home
Humanity’s True Home tells us that the positive world is the base where life propagates and trains basic abilities, while humanity’s true home is the negative world—the negative world is our destination and, still more, the garden where we continually rise and develop. The author gives us this truth; for us Earth humans it is of great significance, because it is the first time Earth humans have learned such a truth. Before, Earth humans were long confined to the small space of Earth, artificially cut off from the greater universe, believing that only Earth had life, unaware that beyond Earth there are many higher worlds or how Earth relates to other worlds and the whole great universe, and unclear that our living on Earth is only to lay a foundation for going to the negative world in higher-dimensional space. Understanding this, we should build a new view of the cosmos and of life, live clearly, be human clearly, devote and train ourselves actively and efficiently, and lay a solid foundation for reaching our true home—the negative world in higher-dimensional space.
That concludes the explanation of piece seven of The Human Way (Rendao), Humanity’s True Home. Next for relatives is piece eight, Love.
The Human Way (Rendao), Piece Eight: Love
Love is a short piece of a little over seven hundred characters. Below I summarize its core content for relatives.
Core content of Love
I summarize the core of Love in five points:
One: Description of love
Love is a positive feeling of righteous life toward the one it cherishes. The main points in the account of love are:
This feeling arises from the inner need of righteous life
When creators made righteous fluid life, they built in the need for this feeling
This feeling can provide very high-frequency positive information to the universe and helps it develop quickly
Love is the basis for righteous life to raise offspring and, in fact, the basis for the development of the righteous universe
Love is a very sacred and noble spiritual need
Two: Expression of love
For righteous life, the need for love comes mostly from within, not from physical union. Physical union is only one form in which love is expressed. In low-dimensional worlds, expression by righteous life has become less pure: most often love is expressed through physical union. Overusing that form only shows a life’s lowness, not its nobility.
Three: The pattern of life in the righteous world
The pattern of life in the righteous world is:
Love → form a family → raise offspring
This pattern is survival in accord with the right Way. Our righteous family also educates relatives in this correct way: respect love and have a correct understanding and place for the other half of your life.
Four: Importance of accord with the right Way
Only when things accord with the right Way can the universe develop quickly and match what the creators intended in making us; to live in accord with the Way in the universe is to contribute to the universe.
Five: The author’s hope for all relatives
As the highest leader of our small-universe family, the author hopes every relative will understand the truths The Human Way (Rendao) clarifies and live in accord with the Way in the universe, playing a positive role.
Reader questions
Next, a few reader questions may help relatives understand love.
Reader question one
“Evil species also propagate. Do they have love?”
Answer: Evil species do not have love, because they are set up to propagate through craving. That is easy to understand: where there is “love,” love is the premise, and evil lives carry no information of love, so they have no love.
Another answer:
Reader question two
Does “having love” mean you must be together, and does being together mean you have love—is that right?
Answer: That understanding is wrong. Such ideas exist only in low-frequency worlds, because people there do not know true love. True love is founded on the union of both sides; if any impure condition is mixed in, it is not true love but a transaction. Our righteous family’s teaching and the creators’ setup of the need for love in righteous life both accord with cosmic law—not like people in low-dimensional space, whose feelings toward each other are impure, and many are not together for love but attach many conditions. How could such a union be true love?
Reader question three
Today early romance and premarital sex leading to pregnancy and abortion have become problems affecting personal happiness and even family and social stability. May we ask the cosmic administrators in higher-dimensional space:
How can we help young people form a correct view of love, let more people obtain true love, and make society more harmonious?
On this representative question I asked the author of The Human Way (Rendao) through my mentor and received the following answer.
In fact, for relatives on Earth our family set the age of maturity of the positive vehicle at twenty-five; only then is maturity normal. That is, only when Earth humans reach that age is desire for love a normal phenomenon. However, Earth has been disturbed and occupied by evil forces for many years; it is a huge negative energy field, with too much obscene, filthy information affecting relatives, and the environment is badly polluted—relatives’ diet has seriously distorted the positive vehicle, and more and more so. That is, the vehicles of positive relatives on Earth have changed greatly under the environment—from obscene information in Earth’s empty space to what the positive world itself shows, plus bodily distortion—producing bodily desire in children today. That bodily desire is not true love, because love is very pure: it begins with inward admiration for the one you cherish; only when a man and a woman love each other does the body feel that way—that is the manifestation of true love. Today’s grave changes on Earth come from the huge negative field and obscene information plus bodily distortion. True love is rarely seen on Earth because Earth humans are lost—unless relatives who are not badly polluted, are still relatively pure, and can return to true nature can experience true love. One can say that love among Earth humans is mostly built first on desire; that is not true love but a semblance of love.
Telling relatives on Earth this truth is to hope they will have strong responsibility and mission to change this foul world, let the world see light again, and let every relative live normally, safely, and happily in the universe, playing a positive role and embodying the greatest value.
That is the author’s answer to problems on Earth today from early romance and premarital sex affecting individuals, families, and society.
Central idea of Love
Through the meaning of love, its source, its importance, its expression, the pattern of life in the righteous world, and the importance of accord with the right Way, Love educates and guides family members to build a correct view of love, respect love, and live in accord with the Way in the universe, contributing to the universe.
Meaning of studying Love
Since The Human Way (Rendao) teaches the basics of being human from many sides, the fact that Love is included shows how important love is for each person, our whole family, and the great universe. Love is short, yet it clearly tells us the meaning of love, its source, its importance, its expression, the pattern of life in the righteous world, and the importance of accord with the right Way. By studying Love together with the problems of love, marriage, and family in Earth society, we can see that incorrect views and expression of love among Earth humans have seriously affected the propagation of righteous life and the development of our righteous family. Love is the basis for righteous life to raise offspring and for the development of the righteous universe; we should study this precious text seriously, return to the nature of righteous life, improve and change ourselves as the book teaches, live in accord with the Way, and play a positive role in the universe. When everyone returns to true nature and lives in accord with the Way, this world becomes a positive-energy world, and we and our descendants can obtain true love and true happiness. That is the meaning of studying Love.
That concludes piece eight of The Human Way (Rendao), Love. Next for relatives is piece nine, The Way.
The Human Way (Rendao), Piece Nine: The Way
To help relatives understand this piece, I begin with difficult points.
Difficult points
One: Life versus advanced beings
In The Human Way (Rendao), “life” means lives like plants and animals in the life space we inhabit. In fact there are many levels of existence in the universe. Among the many kinds of existence, life is not very high; above life are many higher existences whose wisdom and ability are beyond our understanding—because we cannot understand them, the vague term “advanced beings” is used to describe them, to show the gap between life in the life space and them. “Advanced beings” also have levels and divisions of labor; they are not all creators. Only advanced beings can create high-wisdom life.
In short, in spaces above our life space there are advanced beings whose wisdom and ability exceed life’s beyond measure; among them, creators made the high-wisdom species in the life space, including human beings. With our ability we cannot know their living spaces or their forms and appearance.
Two: The life space and spaces beyond it
We define the total range where lives like plants and animals live as the life space—only part of the vast space of the great universe. Beyond the life space are other spaces. For now we cannot know what those are like.
Next I sort out the main points of this piece for relatives.
Main points developed in The Way
I summarize the main points of The Way in seven:
One: Explaining “the Way”
The word “Way” is common in China, but many do not know what it means; some have made it complicated and mysterious. The Way tells us that the Way is orbit—it can also be called “cosmic law.”
Two: Importance of living in accord with the Way
To live by cosmic law is to live in accord with the Way; such living develops well and embodies greater value in the universe. That is the importance of living in accord with the Way.
Three: What is not living in accord with the Way
To live not by cosmic law but in ways that obstruct the universe’s positive development is not living in accord with the Way.
Four: The three levels of “the Way”
The author divides “the Way” into three levels—“human way,” “heavenly way,” and “profound way”—to help us understand “the Way.”
Five: The human way and living in accord with it
What is the human way? The author does not describe it directly but asks us first to know human qualities—qualities such as devotion and responsibility. Knowing our qualities, we must steadfastly be such people; then we accord with human nature and are already on the right track of life.
That human beings can exist in the universe and have noble qualities by nature is the creators’ setup for human life; creators set up human beings according to cosmic law. Therefore, so long as human beings live by the program the creators set for them, they live in accord with the Way and accord with the human way. From context we may understand “human way” as the orbit of walking as a human—the principles and patterns of being human.
Six: The heavenly way and living in accord with it
We may understand the heavenly way as the natural laws of the life space we inhabit. To live and grow by cosmic law and the law of all things can simply be called living in accord with the heavenly way.
Seven: Knowing the profound way, how to approach it, and what entering it means
The profound way is the natural law in spaces beyond the life space. Though human beings cannot yet probe those spaces, at the author’s level it is known that the profound way exists and affects the life space.
The author tells us that only by continually exploring and advancing can we know more of cosmic law—that is, gradually approach the “profound way.” To explore the profound way is to explore cosmic law; when a person is strong enough, they can rely on their own ability to glimpse the true face of the “profound way.” When a person can enter the “profound way,” transformation is vast. At our Earth humans’ present level we are still far from entering the profound way and such transformation, but the author encourages us: to explore the true face of the “profound way,” we must first meet the basic requirement of accord with the “human way” and observance of the “heavenly way”—only then can we rise step by step and eventually reach that height.
Central idea of The Way
The Way tells us that the Way is orbit—also cosmic law. To live by cosmic law is to live in accord with the Way; to live in ways that obstruct the universe’s positive development is not to live in accord with the Way.
From the height of the author’s own understanding, the piece explains three levels of the Way—the human way, the heavenly way, and the profound way—and how to live in accord with the human way, the heavenly way, and how to approach and enter the profound way. It has practical guidance for our living in accord with the Way in the universe, is an important part of building our higher-dimensional wisdom system, lays a cognitive foundation so our lives do not leave the track, and importantly guides how we explore the mysteries of the universe.
That concludes piece nine of The Human Way (Rendao), The Way. Next for relatives is piece ten, Devotion.
The Human Way (Rendao), Piece Ten: Devotion
Terminology
First, an explanation of these two terms
- Life entity
The piece Devotion uses the term “life entity” in two places in paragraph eight: “The human life entity is extremely subtle; its whole setup lets human beings play a huge role in the universe. Human life is small, yet its power is great—no one should belittle their own life entity.” Here “life entity” means the whole of life, including the core system and the vehicle, not the vehicle alone—relatives please note and do not misunderstand.
- A state of high coordination with nature
“A state of high coordination with nature” comes from the last sentence of the second-to-last paragraph of Devotion: “Only by continually devoting oneself can one reach a state of high coordination with nature; only in such a state can one realize one’s wishes.” How should we understand “a state of high coordination with nature”? It is straightforward: nature is the human living environment; creators made human life by cosmic law, and “devotion” is human beings’ most Way-accordant mode of survival—that is, the state that accords with cosmic law. When a person is in selfless devotion, they are in deep harmony with all things in the universe, without conflict; that state is coordination of human being with nature at a high level.
Truths about life and the universe revealed in Devotion
Devotion reveals many truths about life and the universe. I have arranged fourteen for relatives’ study:
One: Everything in the universe devotes itself
Two: Human beings find true happiness and joy only by living according to the creators’ setup
Three: The most Way-accordant state for human beings is devotion
Four: When a person truly devotes themselves to this world, all energy in their life is mobilized
Five: “Devotion” is like a switch that can open the innate abilities in a person’s life
Six: As the strength of devotion grows, one’s energy frequency continually rises
Seven: If a person has no spirit of devotion, their energy frequency will gradually fall
Eight: Human ability is far greater than we now know
Nine: So long as we continually devote ourselves, we can activate all abilities the creators set for us
Ten: Every inner feeling is the effect in our life of different information and energy in the universe
Eleven: If a person has positive thoughts, they receive positive information and energy from the universe
Twelve: If a person has negative emotion, they receive negative information and energy from the universe
Thirteen: Only by devoting oneself can a life exist long in the universe
Fourteen: “Devotion” is a key that opens the treasure-house of the mind
Main points of Devotion
Below I sort out the main points of Devotion for relatives:
One: The creators’ setup of righteous life’s qualities
All righteous life in the universe is given selfless devotion by the creators; we righteous human beings find true happiness and joy only by living according to that setup.
Two: The important role of “devotion”
When a person truly devotes themselves to this world, all energy in their life is mobilized, because the most Way-accordant state for human beings is “devotion,” and “devotion” is like a switch that opens innate ability. As the strength of devotion grows, energy frequency continually rises; if we continually devote ourselves, we can activate all abilities the creators set for us. Conversely, without that spirit, energy frequency gradually falls.
Three: The relationship between human being and universe
When a person truly chooses devotion, their mind fills with joy—that joy comes from the effect of some information and energy in the universe. Do not belittle any inner feeling; those feelings are all the effect in our life of different information and energy in the universe. Positive thoughts draw positive information and energy; negative emotion draws negative. These truths show that we and the universe are inseparable.
Four: Why life can exist long in the universe
As devotion grows stronger, energy frequency rises; without devotion it falls. Only by continually devoting oneself can a life exist long in the universe, because the great universe’s energy frequency keeps rising—that is why life can endure.
Five: Why a person becomes a low-frequency life
Lack of devotion prevents the abilities inherent in one’s life from showing, and one becomes a low-frequency life. In short, the main reason is lack of devotion.
Six: Teaching us to value our life entity
Paragraph eight tells us that human life is small, yet its power is great—no one should belittle their life entity. The author teaches that though we are small in the universe, we can continually emit information and add motive force to the universe; we also have the ability to lead other species and to create, contributing to the universe’s upward development.
Seven: How to create brilliance and wonder in life
The author teaches that human beings can create brilliance and wonder and rise to very high domains—but that requires everyone to take their life seriously, start from the most basic knowing, put it into practice bit by bit, and truly return to human nature. Only then can we gradually bring out what a human should be and create the brilliance a human should create.
Eight: The importance of knowing and practicing devotion
The last paragraph teaches that knowing and practicing devotion is the first and most crucial step to becoming a qualified high-wisdom life. The author hopes every relative who reads this will highly value devotion, because “devotion” is the key that opens the treasure-house of the mind. Whether your life shines as it should depends on how you know and use that key—so knowing and practicing devotion matters immensely for everyone.
Central idea of Devotion
Through the creators’ setup for all righteous life, the relation of human ability and energy frequency to devotion, the relation of human being to universe, and many other truths and principles, Devotion shows us the importance of knowing and practicing devotion and guides us to know and use well the key of “devotion” so our lives can shine as they should in the universe.
Great value and importance of Devotion
Earth humans generally lack selfless devotion—that reflects their true level; selfishness has produced much chaos on Earth and lies at the root of many hard problems, and people of insight see that the problem is education.
Yet until now Earth had no genuine higher-dimensional wisdom; exhortation and empty preaching could not cure selfishness. Only when everyone knows the truths of life and the universe and, from within, knows how to be human and return to life’s nature can people willingly become selfless.
Devotion is like rain after long drought: those who learn it see that the creators set selfless devotion for all righteous life; they see the relation of ability and energy frequency to devotion, the relation of human being to universe, and other truths, and they see that knowing and practicing devotion is the first and most crucial step to becoming a qualified high-wisdom life.
“Devotion” is the foundation of being human for everyone—it is high education from administrators of the righteous universe and expresses the righteous universe’s idea of education. The piece is short but reveals many truths and makes the logic of “devotion” concrete; such teaching convinces from the heart. Most people on Earth are descendants of the righteous family; once they accept such knowledge they can return to the nature of righteous humanity. What I have said is only part of the great value and importance of Devotion—once all relatives on Earth learn it and practice devotion as taught, the value and meaning it brings to Earth cannot be put into words.
That concludes piece ten, Devotion. The five pieces of this lecture are done; I offer a brief summary of the lecture.
Second lecture on The Human Way (Rendao): summary
This lecture covered for relatives:
Piece six: Flowers of hope
Piece seven: Humanity’s true home
Piece eight: Love
Piece nine: The Way
Piece ten: Devotion
The first lecture introduced that The Human Way (Rendao) is the way of being human—the basic principles of being human. The first five pieces are the foundation of those basics; this second lecture, on pieces six through ten, adds truth and principle from five more angles so we know still more.
The twenty-seven pieces of The Human Way (Rendao) are like twenty-seven signposts leading human life to the highest state of fulfillment; the twenty-seven parts are like guidance from the time we return to true nature and enter the right human path to fulfillment. I use this image to help relatives understand The Human Way (Rendao).
Relatives, review the first ten pieces together: when you can see the track of life the author points out for us, you will grasp why the author wrote this text.
That ends the second lecture. See you in the next lecture.
Higher-Dimensional Wisdom (DF) series: The Human Way (Rendao) video lecture (transcript), third lecture
Lecturer: Dong Fang
October 5, 2018
Overview
Greetings, relatives!
Last lecture we studied pieces six through ten of The Human Way (Rendao). We now begin the third lecture. In this lecture I will explain for relatives:
Piece eleven: The inner world of human beings
Piece twelve: Wishes
Piece thirteen: Measure
Piece fourteen: Phenomena
Piece fifteen: Harmony
—five pieces in all.
The Human Way (Rendao), piece eleven: The inner world of human beings
First for relatives: piece eleven of The Human Way (Rendao), The Inner World of Human Beings.
When it comes to “heart,” many relatives do not know what their heart really is. To help relatives understand The Inner World of Human Beings more deeply, I first explain how to understand “heart.”
How to understand “heart”
How to understand “heart”? Because many relatives do not know what “heart” really is, to teach this lesson well I asked the author what heart is. Below I first speak about “heart” so relatives have a rough idea of their own “heart.”
“Heart” is hard to define, but the following can help relatives know it. First: heart is an innate high-tech, high-intelligence product. Before our life came to be, advanced beings in the universe created the life core system and the heart. The core system and the heart do different jobs; with both in place, relevant departments of the universe inject life information into the core system—the combination of core system and heart becomes a life seed ready for incarnation. When a couple in the positive world unites and a fertilized egg forms, relevant departments arrange for the life seed to incarnate; only with the life seed can the body develop into a human form—that is, the fleshy “heart” that grows later is not the same as the “heart” the creators made. The heart on the positive vehicle and on the negative vehicle is an organ of the vehicle; both differ from the innate heart—but together with the core system and vehicle they form an organic whole that is life. What is the relation among core system, heart, and vehicle? To explain that, we must first know why creators made human beings. Creators made human beings so that in the corresponding cosmic space they would lead other species and help the universe develop upward. To lead, a person needs many inner and outer abilities. Outer ability is expressed only through the body—that is, through the vehicle system. The vehicle is like the hardware of a high-intelligence device; to run the hardware, strong software is needed. The human life core system is like the software: settings for the life’s abilities and functions lie in the core system. Heart is the central hub linking software and hardware—the core system works through the heart, and the vehicle receives intelligent support from the core through the heart. Heart is like a life’s commander; the core system is like the staff; the vehicle is like the executor. The core system does not give orders to the vehicle directly but commands behavior through the heart. Heart is the highest-intelligence core of a life; it plays these roles:
First role: conveying information. Heart takes information received from outside and passes it to the life core system; the core system passes processed results back through the heart to the vehicle system, which governs the vehicle’s behavior.
Second role: processing information. Heart is a high-tech, high-intelligence product made by creators and serves as the hub linking core system and vehicle. When heart receives outer information, it routes it according to what kind of heart it is—for example, a heart of selfless great love screens selfish information from outside; heart chooses among outer information. Heart also chooses among feedback from the core system: when the core sends processed results to the heart, heart again routes according to what kind of heart it is and commands the vehicle—for example, a person who has returned to true nature may still store negative information in the core; when heart receives negative feedback, it can screen it out so it does not govern the vehicle’s behavior.
Third role: resolving information. Resolving information is a very important role of heart. Each day a person receives much outer information, and the core system provides much; heart resolves this information and makes decisions suited to the life’s level at the time.
Thus heart, as hub, works differently according to a person’s ability or alignment, and together with processing information it shapes behavior—so heart is like a commander. Heart is a highly intelligent, multi-function high-tech product with many combined powers and a central role in life; therefore training the heart matters greatly. What path a person walks and what role they play in the universe depend decisively on heart.
This is only a rough introduction to heart, because the high-wisdom life entity creators made is extremely subtle—to fully know one’s life entity may be impossible in a whole lifetime. For now this elementary understanding is enough, because we still have chances in higher-dimensional space to learn more truths of life and the universe.
Core content of The Inner World of Human Beings
Knowing what heart is, we turn to The Inner World of Human Beings. I first sort out the core content of the piece for relatives—nine points as on screen:
One: Description of the inner world
The inner world is the abstract space of a life’s mental activity.
Two: Prerequisite and basis for entering one’s inner world and feeling that quiet joy
To feel that quiet joy, returning to true nature is prerequisite and basis. Without that, one cannot play a positive role in the universe.
Three: A sign of very high cultivation
When heart faces any circumstance without rising or falling, that person’s cultivation has reached a very high level.
Four: The role of the outer world
The outer world is a training ground: it gives every life a chance to train heart and work ability.
Five: Importance of training the heart
If a person cannot master their heart, they cannot master themselves and will do things not in accord with the Way—contrary to why creators made us to help the universe develop upward. Therefore training the heart matters greatly.
Six: How to return to that pure state
Only when the heart is well trained and all negative information in one’s life is cleared can one return to the pure state the creators set for each life when they made it.
Seven: Importance of returning to the pure state the creators set for each life
Only when we can return to such a state can we live by cosmic law according to the program the creators set.
Eight: Why life in low-dimensional space easily runs counter to the Way
Too much negative information interferes; life in low-dimensional space often cannot be still—without stillness it cannot return to that pure state. When heart grows more chaotic, one cannot find the right direction in life and may drift farther from the Way.
Nine: The direction of human effort
First we must be able to return to the pure state and train every ability through training grounds of different levels, to lead more lives upward—that is the direction of human effort.
Difficult questions
Why is returning to true nature the prerequisite and basis for entering one’s inner world and feeling that quiet joy?
After reading the piece, some relatives ask: why is returning to true nature the prerequisite and basis for entering one’s inner world and feeling that quiet joy?
Because returning to true nature is returning to the nature of righteous life—that is, beginning to return to the right Way. Only after returning to true nature does a person consciously screen negative information from outside and clear negative information from their life; as negative information grows less, one approaches or reaches the pure state the creators set for us. Then the life runs in a positive mode and the core system can fully play its positive role; such a person is in accord with the Way, and heart is still and peaceful—observing the outer world, thinking, and judging become objective, and conclusions match reality.
People in Earth’s huge negative field are all heavily disturbed by negative and low-frequency information; their lives mostly run in a negative mode, heart cannot be still—without stillness they cannot return to true nature. Nor do they know basic truths of the cosmos and of life; they observe the outer world, think, and judge by habit and experience, guessing subjectively—hardly reaching conclusions that match reality. Unable to return to true nature, they cannot master heart; the life is effectively out of control—that is the common problem of us Earth humans. As the piece says, to enter one’s inner world and feel that quiet joy is both an ability a high-wisdom life must have and a kind of state. To feel that joy and reach that state begins with returning to true nature.
Central idea of The Inner World of Human Beings
The central idea of The Inner World of Human Beings is to teach us to train and master our heart so we can return to the pure state the creators set for us, live by cosmic law according to their program, and fulfill our duty and obligation as leaders.
Importance of studying The Inner World of Human Beings
The Inner World of Human Beings explains the importance of entering one’s inner world and returning to the pure state the creators set for us.
Because all our thought and behavior are led by heart, if we cannot master heart we cannot master our life—we will do things not in accord with the Way, contrary to why creators made us. The author tells us that for high-wisdom life, training the heart matters greatly. Only when the heart is well trained and negative information cleared can we return to the pure state set for each life when it was made. Only then can we live by cosmic law according to the program the creators set. We Earth humans are exactly the low-dimensional lives spoken of here: too much negative and low-frequency information often prevents stillness and return to true nature—without stillness we cannot return to that pure state; when heart grows chaotic we cannot find the right direction and may drift farther from the Way. That is why many on Earth run counter to the Way.
From this piece we can sense that the outer world is one great training ground; everything in it is a prop for training this heart and life’s abilities. We should use those props and every circumstance to train heart until heart does not rise or fall before any circumstance—that is an ability a high-wisdom life must have and a state we should reach. Meanwhile, on Earth’s huge training ground we train every ability; only with that state and strong abilities can we fulfill our duty and obligation, lead other species upward, and contribute to the universe. That is the importance of studying The Inner World of Human Beings. Of course this is only my own understanding, for relatives’ reference.
That concludes piece eleven of The Human Way (Rendao), The Inner World of Human Beings. Next for relatives is piece twelve, Wishes.
The Human Way (Rendao), piece twelve: Wishes
Truths Wishes tells us
Piece twelve, Wishes: first I summarize the truths Wishes tells us—I give five points; see the screen:
One: Beautiful wishes bring positive information to the universe
Two: Selfish wishes bring negative information to the universe
Three: How information in the universe affects people
Positive information makes the mind calmer; negative information makes it more chaotic.
Four: The higher the wish, the more we are affected by high-frequency information and energy in the universe.
That influence gives us inspiration and power—the effect of that inspiration and power is extraordinary.
Five: When a person has beautiful wishes, they receive feedback of information and energy from the universe at the matching frequency. The higher the frequency of that information and energy, the greater the help to oneself.
These truths were unheard of before The Human Way (Rendao) appeared. This text is not empty preaching; from different angles it gives us more truth so that, knowing cosmic and life truth, we consciously choose the right path. Wishes speaks from the side of wishes to the relation between each person and the universe and shows the two opposite effects of beautiful and selfish wishes in the universe so we can choose rightly.
Main points of Wishes
I help relatives summarize the knowledge points of Wishes—four points, as on screen.
One: How wishes arise
A wish arises from a person’s inner hope and longing toward the outer world.
Two: Truths revealed
The five truths were already introduced; I will not repeat them here.
Three: Harm of a chaotic mind
A chaotic mind obstructs our growth in wisdom and obstructs the abilities we have.
Four: The effect of inspiration and power from wishes
The higher the wish, the more we are affected by high-frequency information and energy in the universe; that influence gives inspiration and power—inspiration grows wisdom, and power makes us stronger.
Central idea of Wishes
Through beautiful wishes and selfish wishes playing opposite roles in the universe and what each kind means for ourselves, Wishes hopes that after we learn this knowledge and these truths we will change wrong ways of living, return to the right track of life, live with greater value and meaning, and contribute to the universe’s upward development.
That concludes piece twelve, Wishes. Next for relatives I will explain piece thirteen, Measure.
The Human Way (Rendao), piece thirteen: Measure
Core content of Measure
First I sort out the core content of this piece for relatives—I give four main points; see the screen:
One: What measure brings us
Two: What measure is
Three: Why people in low-dimensional worlds often lack measure in what they do
Four: Importance of knowing the truth
Below is a brief explanation of these four.
One: What measure brings us. So long as we plan our life reasonably by measure, we will not leave the track of life or do unrealistic things.
Two: What measure is. Measure is the yardstick that accords with cosmic law. The author teaches in this one sentence that we must conduct ourselves by such measure—cosmic law—because only that way of living is in accord with the Way.
Three: Why people in low-dimensional worlds lack measure. They do not understand that in every situation one should measure all things by cosmic law—that is, they do not know that whatever world one lives in, one must follow rules and live by cosmic law.
Four: Importance of knowing the truth. When we know basic life truth and cosmic truth, we do not violate the principles of righteous life, we do not leave the track of righteous life, and we are not used and controlled by others as puppets.
Central idea of Measure
Measure tells relatives to have measure as human beings and strengthens awareness of measure. Whatever level or stage relatives live in, they should walk life’s path by measure, observe rules, and live by cosmic law—only then can they truly taste the meaning life brings us.
Meaning of studying Measure
Through this piece we see that low-dimensional worlds are chaotic because people there do not know cosmic law and have no measure or rules. To stay on the right track of life we must understand how to be human, know basic life and cosmic truth, and measure all things by cosmic law so that everything is completed according to measure—that is the meaning of studying measure. Of course this is only my own summary; the piece’s meaning is not limited to what I said—I offer this only to give relatives some ideas. I note this explicitly. The Human Way, Part Thirteen, Measure, concludes here for relatives; next, relatives, we turn to Part Fourteen of The Human Way, Phenomena.
The Human Way, Part Fourteen: Phenomena
Main points explained in Phenomena
The article Phenomena explains its main points in nine items, as shown on the screen. Below is a brief explanation of these nine points.
One: How phenomena come about
“Phenomena” are the outcome of many factors in the universe intersecting; they are how all things manifest in the universe. They can arise from cosmic law on their own, or they can be created by deliberate action.
The “deliberately created phenomena” spoken of in the text must not be narrowly taken to mean only what Earth humans create. There are many other highly intelligent species in the universe; because of limits of wording, the phrase “deliberately created” is all we can use.
Two: The role and value of phenomena
Phenomena help humanity gradually understand the essence of the universe and help humanity understand itself better. From the many phenomena of the universe we can learn more of its mysteries, and thereby summarize experience and grow. It can be said that every phenomenon in the universe offers humanity a chance to explore cosmic mysteries; in the ongoing process of exploration we raise our abilities and thus advance toward higher domains.
Three: Humanity has the ability to create phenomena
We know that on Earth humans have created many phenomena—cities, railways, bridges, aircraft, trains, ships, and all kinds of objects, and so on. In other worlds, too, humans have created many phenomena; because of limits of our vehicles we cannot see what humans create in those other worlds, but when we shift to yin-mode life we will have more chance to see what yin-mode lives create. Of course, if we have the chance to be reborn into other yang worlds, we will also see the various phenomena that other yang lives create.
Four: The meaning of humanity’s creating phenomena
Humanity keeps creating phenomena in order to survive and develop more smoothly. We can divide what humans create into two kinds:
The first is what human life needs to survive—for example, building worlds and creating all kinds of survival infrastructure;
The second is articles for living: to live with greater quality, humans create all kinds of daily goods suited to their level of ability, for a better life.
That is, humanity has very strong creative power; this, too, is how the Creator has set things up. Of course, creators in the universe are of different levels; creators at different levels have different powers and create different value. For example, the creators of worlds—their power and wisdom are hard for us to imagine. What this article refers to are creators at the level that build worlds and human survival facilities.
Five: The endless phenomena of the universe are the drive that keeps us exploring and moving forward
On Earth, even travel lets us see many marvelous natural wonders and marvel at nature’s workmanship—how much more in the vast universe, where endless phenomena await discovery. What we see of cosmic phenomena on Earth is very limited, but as long as we keep raising our energy frequency, we will have the chance to go to higher-dimensional worlds and see more cosmic phenomena. When we are able to see endless cosmic phenomena, we will have endless drive to explore the mysteries behind them.
Six: The emergence of every kind of life is a cosmic phenomenon; humanity’s emergence is also a cosmic phenomenon
All life in the universe arises not by nature alone but through creation by creators—only the creators’ levels differ, and so do the levels of the lives they create. A highly intelligent species such as we are is a cosmic phenomenon brought into being by advanced existence beyond the life space we inhabit.
Seven: No matter how high a person rises, against the backdrop of the great universe they remain very small
When we understand this, we will not be self-important, and we will no longer believe there is an almighty god in the universe—so we will not fall into superstition. We live on Earth, the lowest-dimensional yang world, long confined to such a small living space; whether what we see is life-created or naturally arising, it is extremely limited. The universe is constantly developing and changing; no one should indulge in self-importance. Only by learning and improving with humility can we hope to understand more cosmic mysteries; otherwise we stagnate.
Eight: If we want rapid improvement and development, we must keep exploring deeper cosmic phenomena to accumulate more experience and ability for ourselves
Only by constantly exploring deeper cosmic phenomena and accumulating more experience and ability for ourselves can we understand more cosmic truth and grow in wisdom, and thus achieve rapid improvement and development; at the same time, exploring cosmic mysteries also gives us drive to rise and develop.
Nine: What the author hopes for us
The author hopes that through the guidance of Phenomena relatives will feel a drive to keep moving forward. The journey of life is wonderfully rich; let us meet with positive spirit the many surprises the universe brings us, and teach all humanity to work together, beginning with knowing ourselves to know the universe.
Central idea of Phenomena
The author wants us to broaden our view by understanding cosmic phenomena, and to know the universe more deeply by observing them, thereby accumulating experience and ability and contributing to the upward development of our own world. That is the central idea of Phenomena.
The Human Way, Part Fourteen, Phenomena, ends here; next, relatives, we take up Part Fifteen of The Human Way, Harmony.
The Human Way, Part Fifteen: Harmony
Let us study Part Fifteen, Harmony, together.
Terminology for Harmony
One: Harmony
Two: Low-frequency lives
Before the main text, two terms for relatives: “harmony” and “low-frequency life.” The theme of Part Fifteen of The Human Way is “harmony”—how do relatives in higher-dimensional space understand “harmony”?
Understanding “harmony”
Harmony means a state and relationship in which people with people, people with all things, and people with their environment do not collide, grind, or clash, and in which all can live, coexist, and move in a way that accords with cosmic law.
That is harmony in the true sense. Where there is collision, friction, or conflict, it cannot be called harmony.
Lives that truly achieve harmony are necessarily walking a path of survival that accords with cosmic law.
Though the two characters “harmony” are simple, in a low-dimensional world it is hard to reach such a state.
This explanation lets us place ourselves against the backdrop of the great universe to know and understand harmony, see more clearly how important harmony is, and helps a great deal in understanding Part Fifteen of The Human Way, Harmony.
Understanding “low-frequency life”
Low-frequency life means life whose energy frequency is low and whose ability to survive is weak.
Again: low-frequency life is life whose energy frequency is low and whose ability to survive is weak. People become low-frequency when they lack positive, upward spirit and drive and merely drift through survival. Because they stay long in such a low state, their life energy frequency sinks lower and lower. The lower the frequency, the harder it is to adapt to the rise and change of the cosmic energy field; therefore low-frequency lives, if they cannot keep pace with the cosmic field’s rise, are eliminated.
With “harmony” and “low-frequency life” explained, below relatives we organize the core content of Harmony.
Core content of Harmony
I summarized five core points for this short piece:
One: The importance of harmony
The first paragraph speaks from the cosmos as a whole: harmony matters to the entire universe—both the universe’s own environment and all things among one another need harmony. If anything discordant appears in any respect or domain, it greatly affects the universe itself and all things within it. At worst it can throw cosmic law into confusion; at least it can cause variation among things in cosmic space.
The second paragraph is the importance of harmony for the human world. The original says: “Without harmony we cannot rise. In many low-dimensional human worlds today discordant factors have appeared, and these have long obstructed the development of the human world as a whole.” In fact, our Earth is one space where discord appears; Earth’s discord has long obstructed the development of our small universe.
Two: Discordant factors and their harm
The third paragraph takes up this question: “These discordant factors include discord between people and between people and other species. They disorder the information field of our living space and make all lives here low-frequency. The more low-frequency lives exist in the universe, the harder it is for the universe to rise, because low-frequency lives, lacking wisdom, keep damaging the structure of the universe, and the large amount of negative and low-frequency information they emit also obstructs the universe’s upward development.”
Discordant factors set up a vicious cycle in our living space and seriously obstruct our small universe’s development. “Structure of the universe” here means all objects that form naturally in the universe—for example, the Earth we live on is part of that structure; reckless mining and deforestation are damaging the structure of the universe.
Three: Actions taken by the universe’s senior management to address discord
The fourth paragraph describes actions by the universe’s senior management. Where low-dimensional spaces have long-standing discord that is hard to resolve, senior management periodically rectifies those spaces—that is, rectifies what obstructs the universe’s upward development. The present phase is such a rectification of lower-dimensional space by senior management. The “rectification” in this article is action by the great universe’s senior agencies, mainly striking evil forces so they cannot grow so fast in the universe.
Four: How to be a truly harmonious person
The fifth paragraph takes this up. To be truly harmonious we must be kind toward others, love all things in the world, and through caring for others, helping others, and serving society strengthen our own positive life information and merge with the universe’s kindred positive information and energy.
In fact, harmonious life is life that accords with the Way; discordant life runs against it. For us in a low-dimensional, negative-energy world, becoming truly harmonious is not easy. That is why managers in higher space convey the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series to us on Earth—so we may know more cosmic and life truth, return to our true nature, walk the right path of life, and gradually become truly harmonious. Otherwise, because most relatives on Earth are low-frequency lives, we all face the danger of elimination by the great universe.
Five: Humanity’s responsibilities and duties
The last paragraph tells us that as the highly intelligent species humanity was created not only to be harmonious but to lead other species. With this special role we should live harmoniously in the universe and play our part, so that under our lead other species, too, can live harmoniously. We must not only become harmonious ourselves; we have the responsibility and duty to make the world we inhabit harmonious.
Central idea and educational meaning of Harmony
Harmony makes clear how important harmony is for the universe, the human world, and each person; it lets us see clearly the harm of discord and how low-dimensional worlds obstruct cosmic development. It warns us that senior management periodically rectifies spaces where discord exists—that is, rectifies what obstructs the universe’s rise. The present phase is such rectification of lower-dimensional space. It teaches relatives to take seriously this great cosmic rectification, and after knowing these truths to change themselves and become positive-energy people. It teaches us not only to become harmonious ourselves but to have the responsibility and duty to make the world we live in harmonious—that is the value and meaning of human life in the universe.
That is the central idea of Harmony, summarized for relatives’ reference.
The piece has very practical guidance and educational meaning for us on Earth, because Earth is the lowest-frequency planet in our small universe. The yang world on Earth has billions of people, most of them low-frequency lives facing elimination by the great universe. Today we happen to be in a phase when senior management is rectifying low-dimensional space—also a phase when the just universe collectively helps the Earth. For any one of us this is a rare opportunity. Especially at this critical time for our small universe, conveying higher-dimensional wisdom and truth from the yin world of high space to the yang world of low space gives us the chance to learn the precious Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series, so every relative on Earth has a chance to awaken, to change and raise themselves, and to embody greater value. It can be said that “spreading higher-dimensional wisdom and achieving awakening for all” is not only the wish of relatives in higher space—it should be Earth people’s most urgent task today. That is the educational meaning of Harmony.
The Human Way, Part Fifteen, Harmony, ends here for relatives; below is a brief summary of this lecture.
The Human Way, Third lecture: Summary
The third lecture covered for relatives:
Part Eleven: The inner world of the person
Part Twelve: Aspiration
Part Thirteen: Measure
Part Fourteen: Phenomena
Part Fifteen: Harmony
Five parts in all. These five teach us how to live regarding the inner world, aspiration, measure, phenomena, and harmony. Their shared keyword is “accord with cosmic law.” The Human Way is a rare text that teaches us to recognize and live by cosmic law; if we take this knowledge into our lives and put it into action, we will never leave the right track of life and will become lives of value.
By Part Fifteen we have studied more than half of the twenty-seven themes—twenty-seven aspects—of The Human Way. I trust relatives have gained some sense of the right path among people that the author shows us. This lecture ends here; see you in the next lecture.

Part Twenty: The ideology of the person
Five parts in all.
Now let us study Part Sixteen of The Human Way, The Human World.
The Human Way, Part Sixteen: The Human World
Explaining difficult points
The Human World has three difficult points that need to be cleared up first so relatives can understand the article more deeply. They are:
One: How to understand “before the human species was created, many highly intelligent species had already laid a good foundation for humanity”
The first paragraph of The Human World says that before the human species was created, many highly intelligent species had already laid a good foundation for humanity, a foundation that could let humanity develop rapidly in the universe.
How should we understand that? It is not hard. We already know humanity was created by highly advanced existence as a new highly intelligent species. We can imagine that the first humans could develop only under the care of advanced existence—whether the choice of environment or the creation of conditions; in every respect, before this new species appeared, advanced existence had already prepared the way for humanity’s birth. Including when creators made humanity, the design of various abilities drew on other highly intelligent species.
Two: How to understand “the human world has also welcomed many other species coming here to train”
The fifth paragraph of The Human World says that the human world’s development has now transitioned into a rapid upward phase, thanks to the joint efforts of all human kin; in this situation the human world has also welcomed many other species coming here to train, which makes the human world’s place in the universe more important.
How should we understand that? On this question I also asked the author. The answer: the human world is of course human-led; when it has matured, the great universe’s creative departments arrange some biological dharma protectors to come train in the human world and help it develop, because that development needs some of their help—though they cannot create civilization, while helping the human world they also emit positive information and contribute to the universe’s rise. Of course, human worlds of different levels have dharma protectors of different levels and kinds; our Earth is a human world in low-dimensional space, so the protectors are only species at the level of cattle, horses, dogs, lions, and the like. But because Earth has long been a vast negative-energy field, most just lives here have mutated and lost their true nature—they are no longer just species in the true sense.
Three: What support and help humanity can receive from cosmic departments
The article mentions in several places that humanity receives support and help from cosmic departments. Students ask: what support and help? In fact, from birth humanity has always received it. At different stages the help takes many forms. For example, in humanity’s first phase, survival and gradual growth were under the careful care of advanced existence—everything humanity needed in that starting phase was arranged and supplied by cosmic departments. Creating new worlds is the same: without cosmic support, humanity alone could hardly build worlds in the universe. Another example is human reproduction: cosmic departments supply life core systems of different levels according to each world’s development and its contribution to the great universe. Another example is the present great rectification: relevant cosmic agencies replenish high-frequency energy to human worlds, supply high-end higher-dimensional wisdom, high technology, military protection, and so on. Take our Earth: without help from cosmic departments, our small universe alone could hardly convey the just universe’s systematic high knowledge from the yin world of high space to the yang world of low space and negative energy. Another example: exchange between species and between worlds happens only with the high technology cosmic senior management provides—no single world has that ability on its own. The great universe is an organic whole; the advanced helping the less advanced and the strong helping the weak is the just universe’s idea; selfless giving is the shared character of all just species. We Earth humans receive support not only from our small-universe family’s management but from many other cosmic agencies and just families—we simply do not know it.
Core content of The Human World:
One: Background of humanity’s emergence
Paragraphs one and two introduce that background in points such as:
Humanity has not existed in the universe for a very long time—that is, humanity is a new species;
As the great universe developed, after many adjustments, the human species was created because cosmic development called for it. It can be said we appeared at a very good moment;
Before the human species was created, many highly intelligent species had already laid a good foundation for humanity, a foundation that could let humanity develop rapidly in the universe.
Two: Humanity’s emergence and traits
Paragraphs three and four describe humanity’s emergence and traits. Humanity’s traits can be summarized as:
Humanity is a young species;
Humanity’s potential and future are boundless; the human world is full of hope;
The human world develops in lower-dimensional space; such an environment gives humanity much training and rapid growth, and an important place in the universe; the species enjoys exceptional endowment;
Throughout development it has constantly received support and help from cosmic departments.
Three: Overall picture of the human world
It can be summarized in four points:
The human world is a rapidly developing world;
The human world’s development has now transitioned into a rapid upward phase;
In this situation the human world has also welcomed many other species coming here to train, which makes its place in the universe more important;
In this setting the human world also constantly seeks broader development outward and does not stay confined to low-dimensional space in the universe.
Four: Our small universe’s situation
Our small universe is still very backward among human worlds, which puts pressure on every member of the family.
Five: Resolve and action of our small-universe leaders
Our small universe’s leaders are confident they can make our family a model and example among human worlds. Every leader in the family works day and night to strengthen the family, hoping one day our small-universe family can catch up with other families in the human world.
Six: The author’s hope
The author hopes every relative who can see this article will, like the family leaders, strive tirelessly and contribute to our small-universe family so our family can create greater value for the universe. Because the author is our small universe’s highest administrative leader, this hope is in fact a call to us.
Central idea and educational meaning
The Human World introduces the background of humanity’s emergence, why humanity was created, humanity’s traits, the overall picture of the human world, and our small-universe family’s actual situation, helping us form a basic picture of the human world and our own family so we treasure our precious chance to exist and leave a brilliant chapter in the universe. At the same time, as highest administrative leader of our small universe, the author shows us the leaders’ resolve: though our small universe is very young and has not developed long and is still very backward among human worlds, every leader works day and night to strengthen the family, hoping one day we can catch up with other families, become a model and example in the human world, and contribute more to the universe. The author hopes every relative who sees this will strive like the leaders and contribute so our family can create greater value for the universe. That is the article’s central idea.
Through this article we on Earth widen our view—we know there are skies beyond skies and people beyond people. We see that our small universe is still backward among human worlds and Earth is our small universe’s most backward world. Now that we have the chance to learn this article, we should follow our family leaders, strive tirelessly, and contribute to our small-universe family so it can create greater value for the universe, while also creating brilliance in our own lives. That is the article’s educational meaning for us.
The Human World ends here for relatives; next is Part Seventeen of The Human Way, Thinking.
The Human Way, Part Seventeen: Thinking
Knowledge points in Thinking
First, relatives, an outline of the knowledge points in Thinking, as on the screen:
One: “Thinking” is an advanced ability the Creator gave humanity.
Two: The emergence of any highly intelligent species rests on the great universe having such a need, gathering usable conditions in the universe to create it.
Three: However high humanity’s ability to “think” can reach, that is how high humanity can be brought.
Four: Since the Creator set no limit on this ability to “think,” humanity’s room for development has no ceiling.
Five: Humanity’s creativity is entirely led by “thinking.”
Six: Everything humanity shows outward is driven by “thinking.”
Seven: Since humanity has this special ability of “thinking,” we must raise it in our own growth so it can play a positive role in the universe.
Eight: This ability of “thinking” can also obstruct or damage the universe’s upward development.
Nine: The many abilities of highly intelligent life all depend on the Creator’s design.
Ten: Whatever responsibility and duty a highly intelligent species will bear in the universe, the Creator designs matching abilities for that species.
Eleven: Humanity’s ability to “think” can keep driving us to rise and develop.
Twelve: As long as we are able enough to master our own mind, we can use “thinking” well to help the universe rise.
Thirteen: How strong our control of thought is determines how much value a person embodies in the universe; no one can neglect the ability to “think.”
Difficult questions on Thinking
To help relatives understand “thinking” and know their own life form better, I asked the author the three questions on the screen:
One: When we think, what roles do our life core system, heart, and brain play?
Two: How do we master our own thoughts?
Three: What is the difference among thinking, pondering, and insight?
Below, the first question.
One: When we think, what roles do our life core system, heart, and brain play?
When I explained Part Eleven, The Inner World of the Person, I already explained the heart and the relation among life core system, heart, and vehicle system; with that base this is easier. When we think, life core system, heart, and brain all act at once. The human life form is one whole; separated, the ability to think does not work—only their functions differ.
In Part Eleven I said we can picture the life core system as software: everything a person accumulates, together with the Creator’s initial settings, is stored in the life core system. When a person thinks, the life core system supplies and processes information—we can picture it as a staff office, a staff role. The heart commands, like a commander; the brain executes. Because the brain executes, many relatives suppose the brain is what thinks; in fact life core system, heart, and brain work together to realize thinking.
Below, the second question.
Two: How do we master our own thoughts?
Paragraph nine of Thinking—the second from the end—says: how strong our control of thought is determines how much value a person embodies in the universe; no one can neglect the ability to think. If a person has lofty ideals and goals, they should begin by mastering their thoughts so they can use “thinking” to realize those ideals and goals.
How, then? Mastering thought is tied to overall ability. The stronger a person’s overall ability, the stronger their grasp of things; the stronger that grasp, the stronger their mastery of thought. The weaker the overall ability, the weaker the grasp of things, and the weaker mastery of thought. To master thought well, one must keep raising one’s ability to know things—that is, to have mastery of thought one must be able to know things correctly; without that, thought is hard to master.
Put another way: the premise of mastering thought is being able to master the heart; the premise of mastering the heart is being able to know things correctly—correct knowledge of things is the master premise. How do we raise that ability? Only through living—constant learning, observation, thought, and summary. No shortcut exists for anyone.
The ability to think matters greatly: a person who thinks about nothing accomplishes little in the universe. Relatives may still not see how to master thought, so I will use an example. Some elderly people fear death greatly and keep thinking about death and survival and cannot settle into a normal, quiet state—because they do not know the truth about death and wrongly take the vehicle’s wearing out as “death.” Not knowing that, they worry endlessly, even about coffins and graves—meaningless things. If they knew the worn-out yang vehicle naturally shifts to yin-mode life, they would not dwell on such things but would use Earth’s limited yang time to train and raise their energy frequency and lay a good base for higher-dimensional worlds. So to master thought, one must know things correctly.
Next, the three questions for relatives.
Three: What is the difference among thinking, pondering, and insight?
In essence they are the same—all are thinking. But thinking has levels and directions. First, levels: the highest level of thinking is insight—through thinking, making one or a series of valuable, meaningful things clear. The middle level can be called pondering: after deep thought, doing things better. The lowest level is idle, worthless thinking—random pointless thought. That is, the higher a person’s level, the higher the level of their thinking; the lower the person’s level, the lower the thinking.
Then direction: positive thinking or negative. Positive thinking accords with the right path and plays a positive role, good for one’s own rise and cosmic development. Negative thinking runs against the Way—not in accord with cosmic law—and plays a negative role, obstructing one’s own rise and damaging the universe’s upward development.
Central idea of Thinking
Thinking explains that the Creator gave humanity this advanced ability so that humanity would use thinking well to fulfill its duties and obligations and lead all things within its reach to rise. Because thinking is the leading ability in human life, the author wrote this to teach us to see and value it rightly, so each of us can master our heart, raise and use thinking well, and help the universe rise.
Part Seventeen, Thinking, ends here for relatives.
Next, relatives, Part Eighteen of The Human Way, Relations Between People.
The Human Way, Part Eighteen: Relations Between People
Core content of Relations Between People
First, relatives, a summary of the article’s core content—seven points on the screen, briefly explained:
One: The importance of relations between people
Handling relations between people is subtle; mishandling them affects family, society, even the whole universe’s development.
Two: Teaching relatives in the yang world to treasure and use this knowledge
Spreading this basic cosmic knowledge in the yang world is our small-universe family’s greatest breakthrough. Relatives who learn it there must treasure it and use it to raise and change themselves, grow wiser in dealing with people, and improve their shortcomings.
The second paragraph introduces this to tell us that conveying such high higher-dimensional wisdom from the yin world of high space to the yang world of low space is extremely hard. Such a breakthrough matters greatly for relatives in the yang world to know cosmic and life truth and for the yang world’s development.
Three: Features of human social relations
The higher the human world’s level, the greater people’s wisdom, and the better they handle relations between people. Only in lower-dimensional worlds, where wisdom is lacking, do people get along less smoothly.
Four: The role of positive-energy people
A positive-energy person can stand in others’ place and consider others’ interests first; they get along with anyone, and wherever they go they purify the information field; their own field affects everyone there.
Five: Reasons relations between people are not smooth
One is insufficient wisdom, poor cultivation, selfishness; another is a chaotic information field in the environment, disturbing everyone and leaving no one calm.
Six: Detailed guidance on handling relations well
The author teaches us from honoring elders, equal mutual love between spouses, mutual support among siblings, and guiding and raising children—so we can complete family relations, the root of living in the world. Someone who cannot complete family relations will hardly complete social relations. “Complete” here means truly, sincerely living with those tied to you—not surface harmony for private gain.
Seven: The foundation of being human
Change wrong thought and conduct; become loving; learn to get along with others—that is the foundation of being human.
Central idea of Relations Between People
Relations Between People explains the importance of those relations, the great role of being a positive-energy person, and why people fail to get along, and teaches details of harmonious dealing so relatives, knowing the truth, change and learn to get along and handle relations rightly, laying the foundation of being human to embody greater role in the universe.
This part, Relations Between People, ends here.
Next, relatives, Part Nineteen, The Effects of Conduct.
The Human Way, Part Nineteen: The Effects of Conduct
Points explained
First, relatives, the points in The Effects of Conduct—six points on the screen:
One: What “conduct” covers
“Conduct” broadly means our usual speech and bearing, standing, sitting, lying—very ordinary things.
Two: Truths about conduct revealed
Conduct affects the individual in the small sense and society’s harmony in the large, and thus the universe’s overall development;
Good conduct brings positive information to the universe; bad conduct disorders the information field of one’s own living space.
Knowing these two truths, we see how important conduct is.
Three: Relation between life level and conduct
Two lines:
From a person’s conduct we can see their level of cultivation; someone who neglects conduct has necessarily low life level;
To raise life level one must begin by correcting bad conduct—without correcting conduct, life level cannot rise.
Four: How to correct conduct
Strive to change and correct bad conduct. Relatives with some cultivation can also hold themselves to a stricter standard, raising their awareness so every act brings positive information to the universe.
Five: How to become highly intelligent talent
To become such talent in the universe, play a greater role, and embody greater value, one must change not only conduct but many aspects and raise overall ability.
Six: Teaching relatives to treasure this knowledge
Whatever dimensional world relatives live in, if they have the affinity to learn this knowledge, they must treasure it and apply it in life so it works in their lives and they embody their proper value.
Central idea of The Effects of Conduct
The Effects of Conduct explains how one person’s conduct, from individual development to social harmony and the universe’s overall development, shows that level of cultivation is life level, and life level goes with life energy. It teaches relatives to value every act and let each act bring positive information to the universe. It hopes relatives with the affinity will treasure this knowledge, apply it in life, let it work in their lives, and embody their proper value in the universe.
Value of The Effects of Conduct
Speech, bearing, standing, sitting, and lying seem ordinary, yet they emit all kinds of information and affect our living space’s information field. The value of The Effects of Conduct is that it tells us on Earth truths we did not know—that one person’s conduct, from the individual to society and the universe—and that to raise life level we must begin by correcting bad conduct.
Because we on Earth live in a low-dimensional world and lack systematic education from the just universe, most people scramble for a living, do not know life’s meaning, and have no right direction, so they neglect conduct; most Earth people have lost the noble character of just, highly intelligent life and are generally low in life level. That is our real condition.
Today, having the affinity to learn this knowledge, we must treasure it, apply it in life, let it work in our lives, and from valuing every detail of conduct gradually raise our life level.
Part Nineteen, The Effects of Conduct, ends here.
Below, relatives, Part Twenty of The Human Way, The Ideology of the Person.
The Human Way, Part Twenty: The Ideology of the Person
Before The Ideology of the Person, relatives, a note on “human consciousness.”
Terminology
Human consciousness
Earlier, in the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom terminology lectures, I said consciousness is an advanced ability of highly intelligent life—the wiser the person, the stronger the consciousness. Someone who returns to true nature and keeps a quiet heart has strong consciousness; a restless person has weak consciousness, and some have almost none. Consciousness can stand for a person’s wisdom, because only strong consciousness masters the heart. It can also stand for a life’s overall ability and for the life core system coming into play. Raising correct consciousness is raising overall life ability.
Below, relatives, the core content of human ideology.
Core content of The Ideology of the Person
One: What ideology is
Human ideology is a shape produced by a person’s grasp of outlook on life, values, and worldview; that shape directly affects how they judge everything.
Two: Premise of building correct ideology
To build sound ideology one must know things correctly—that is, correct knowledge of things is the premise of sound ideology.
Three: Premise of knowing things correctly
Correct education’s guidance is the premise of knowing things correctly—that is not the article’s wording but my summary from the second paragraph.
Four: Harm of wrong knowledge and education
Wrong knowledge and education skew a person’s outlook on life, values, and worldview; wrong outlooks form wrong ideology and block correct knowledge of things. So how terrible it is to lack correct education.
If we break down the three outlooks, we see the harm at once—for example wrong views of advancement, success, love, marriage, death, life; any wrong view deflects life’s direction and brings a degree of chaos to the world.
Five: Harm of wrong ideology
Wrong ideology makes a person’s picture of the whole world wrong; wrong knowledge of things leads them onto wrong paths.
Six: Four steps to building correct ideology
Paragraphs five through eight give four steps, in four sentences:
Have the ability to tell right from wrong and just from evil;
Let all one’s thoughts be positive;
Always let positive thought guide all conduct;
Learn correct knowledge to raise wisdom and use wisdom to judge right and wrong.
Seven: Necessary condition for becoming true talent
To become true talent in this world we must raise our ability to observe things and the world so we have enough wisdom to build correct ideology. Simply put, sound ideology is a necessary condition for true talent—but not sufficient; noble character and other abilities are also needed.
Central idea of The Ideology of the Person
The central idea of The Ideology of the Person is to teach every member of the family how to build correct ideology. The author explains incisively how wrong education skews people’s outlook on life, values, and worldview; wrong outlooks form wrong ideology, and wrong ideology makes the whole world picture wrong, and wrong knowledge leads onto wrong paths.
At the same time the author patiently teaches concrete steps to build correct ideology, helps us build it, and lets us see that only correct ideology lets us keep rising and embody greater role and value in the universe.
Significance of studying The Ideology of the Person
Before the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series, nothing so high had appeared on Earth. Because Earth people had no access to such education, they did not know even basic cosmic and life truth; most relatives were lost, had turned from the true nature of just, highly intelligent life, had weak consciousness or none, had no notion of ideology, let alone building it soundly. Most drifted blindly through worthless lives. To build sound ideology one needs sound outlook on life, values, and worldview; for sound outlooks one needs correct knowledge of things in the universe; for that one needs correct higher-dimensional education—so correct higher-dimensional education is the master premise and a necessary condition for world harmony.
Earth’s fatal lack is correct higher-dimensional education. Relatives who study The Ideology of the Person and have wisdom and a sense of social duty and mission will see this education’s huge role for the world’s progress and grasp how important this high education is.
Part Twenty, The Ideology of the Person, ends here for relatives; below is a summary of this lecture.
The Human Way, Fourth lecture: Summary
This lecture briefly explained for relatives:
Part Sixteen: The human world
Part Seventeen: Thinking
Part Eighteen: Relations between people
Part Nineteen: The effects of conduct
Part Twenty: The ideology of the person
These five articles. They help relatives gain some grasp of the human world, thinking, relations between people, the effects of conduct, and human ideology. By now I have covered twenty of The Human Way’s twenty-seven parts; I trust relatives have a clearer and clearer sense of the right track of life the author shows us. “The human way” is the right track for human walking—it teaches us how to live and leads us along it. With that in mind, relatives will more easily grasp the truth of the human way in all twenty-seven parts.
This lecture ends. Relatives, see you next lecture.
Higher-Dimensional Wisdom: The Human Way video lecture (transcript), Fifth lecture
Lecturer: Dong Fang
October 13, 2018
Overview
Relatives, hello!
Last lecture we reached Part Twenty of The Human Way; this fifth lecture begins now.
In this lecture I cover four parts for relatives:
Part Twenty-one: The panorama of life
Part Twenty-two: Belief
Part Twenty-three: Responsibility and duty
Part Twenty-four: The window of the heart
First let us study Part Twenty-one of The Human Way, The Panorama of Life.
The Human Way, Part Twenty-one: The Panorama of Life
Explaining difficulties
To help relatives understand this article more deeply, I first explain five difficult sentences in the article: I. The space we live in is the space of life
We Earth people are used to calling the existence of plants, animals, and the like “life.” Under this understanding of life, the total spatial range in which such life exists is the space of life. This space is extremely vast; how vast it is, we cannot yet answer. We only know that the Milky Way we inhabit is a small part of this huge space of life, and that many other galaxies belong to this same space of life. In fact, there are many forms of existence in the universe unlike those of plants and animals; because we lack knowledge of them, we do not call them life. In fact, outside the space of life there are many other kinds of spaces where beings exist. The universe is so vast we cannot imagine it.
II. Surveying the whole from a vantage above the space of life
The space of life was described above. Within it there are many species of higher wisdom than humans. Only by transcending the level of all species in the space of life can one stand at a height above that space and survey the whole. Otherwise, it is as in the line “cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, because one is in the mountains”—one cannot survey the whole of life.
III. The true meaning of transformation for life
Later in the text it is annotated thus: “When each species’ life is created, there is a corresponding setup; when a life, on its journey, completes all the abilities the Creator set, it can, with its own great strength and the Creator’s help, upgrade its abilities so that this life can embody its value in the universe more powerfully.”
“Each species’ life is created with a corresponding setup” means setups the Creator makes according to need and conditions. For example, for people of our family, the Creator sets our life core systems according to the universe’s needs and the conditions of the space we are in. Some are set to five hundred dimensions of ability, some to one thousand dimensions; when we have traveled a long life path, perfected our various abilities, and met the Creator’s expectations for us, we have a chance, with the Creator’s help, to upgrade our systems and gain greater ability than before, and thus play a greater role in the universe.
IV. The stratum of life is the least stable stratum in the universe
The stratum of life is called the least stable in the universe because the space of life we inhabit is a lower-level space among the universe’s many spaces of existence; it is the environment of this space that makes the stratum of life the least stable. Precisely because this stratum has many unstable factors, the Creator has created many species of higher wisdom to lead other, lower species in different spatial ranges so they may live in accord with the Way and play a positive role in the universe. When all lives, led by higher species, can live in accord with the Way and emit positive information, the space of life we inhabit will upgrade and move from instability to stability. As the level of our space of life rises, it becomes more suitable for higher species to live here. The universe’s highest management aims to create ever more righteous species that emit positive information to raise the energy fields of these unstable spaces and thus resolve instability in lower-dimensional spaces; if these problems can all be resolved, all problems in the universe are resolved.
Yet in the lower-dimensional spaces within the space of life—for example, our Earth’s space of existence—because humanity as the leading species has not awakened and does not understand basic cosmic and life truths, it has not only failed in the duty and obligation of a leader but has become the most unstable factor in this space. Thus Earth has become an obstacle to the great universe’s development and a major hidden danger.
V. The mission of higher wisdom life is to adjust these unstable factors so that they supply usable resources in an orderly way to higher-level existence
The first half of this sentence is not hard to understand; many relatives do not grasp “supply usable resources in an orderly way to higher-level existence.” As we learn more cosmic and life truths, we begin to see that creating life in the universe and building worlds for life is an enormous systems project. For example, before our forebears came to create Earth, little was available for humans to use—aside from land and water, there were hardly any ready-made conditions. To ensure human survival, they first created all kinds of plants, used plants to provide conditions for animals, then created small animals; once small animals could survive, they created medium and large animals, step by step supplying conditions from lower to higher. We now know sunlight, air, and water are indispensable, as is food; there is much more we do not know—information, energy, and so on. Likewise, existence more advanced than humans also needs our space of life to supply information, energy, and many kinds of conditions; we can reason by analogy. I hope this brief explanation helps relatives understand this sentence and see that the great universe’s ecosystem is one whole; we should be grateful and responsible for its health.
Essentials of The Panorama of Life
Below is a summary of the essentials of The Panorama of Life, eleven points in all.
I. The life we take for granted contains extremely broad meaning and endless mystery.
II. Given our current powers in the universe, we cannot yet stand above the space of life and survey the whole, nor can we fully summarize and analyze life. With our small-universe family’s present ability, we cannot yet know all of life’s mysteries.
III. As we continue to explore the space of life, more and more of life’s mysteries will become known to us.
IV. Life has a capacity for continual evolution. This evolution goes beyond the idea of life advancement and differs from mere growth; it is transformation of life’s essence—the true meaning of change for life.
V. Such truth encourages us and shows us the direction of our advancement.
VI. The stratum of life is the least stable stratum in the universe.
VII. The mission of higher wisdom life is to adjust these unstable factors so that they supply usable resources in an orderly way to higher-level existence.
VIII. Life can use existing conditions to supply more effective, higher-frequency information and energy to higher-level existence, contributing to the universe’s upward development. This is the basic understanding of the stratum of life.
IX. We can rely on our own efforts to contribute more to the universe and thus receive more support and help from relevant departments of the universe, so we may know the universe more deeply. This is the foremost task for all members of our family at this stage.
X. Only by rising to a higher plane can our small-universe family contribute greater strength to the great universe. We must continually transcend ourselves and create greater value—a conviction that runs through our whole family.
XI. May this conviction take root in every relative’s heart, gathering all our strength to explore the mysteries of life and the universe together.
Central idea of The Panorama of Life
The Panorama of Life describes what our small universe already knows about life so that all members of the family may have a conceptual grasp and help us advance on the right track toward higher realms. The author tells us that each of us has a chance to achieve true transformation of meaning, and points the way for our advancement. Life can use existing conditions to supply more effective, higher-frequency information and energy to higher-level existence, contributing to the universe’s upward development. It teaches us that the foremost task for all members is to contribute more through our own efforts, receive more support from relevant departments of the universe, and know the universe more deeply; that we must continually transcend ourselves and create greater value—a conviction through the whole family; and that this conviction should take root in every relative’s heart so we gather our strength and explore the mysteries of life and the universe together.
Significance of studying The Panorama of Life
Studying The Panorama of Life helps those of us in lower-dimensional spaces understand the space of life, the panorama of life, the possibility of true transformation, the basic view of the stratum of life, the situation of the small-universe family, our foremost task at this stage, and the conviction that runs through the family. It helps relatives on Earth build a sound view of the universe and of life, align consciously with the family’s beliefs and ideals, and know that the righteous universe is one whole—that to receive support from its relevant departments we must contribute more. Only by rising higher can our small-universe family contribute more to the great universe. Receiving education at this level raises our horizon, widens our view, and expands our hearts so we are no longer confined to a small, low-frequency space like Earth.
That concludes Part Twenty-One of The Human Way, The Panorama of Life. Next we study Part Twenty-Two of The Human Way, Belief.
Part Twenty-Two of The Human Way: Belief
Essentials of Belief
The article Belief is only six hundred-odd words; I have summarized three essentials for relatives:
I. The role of good belief
Good belief lifts one upward and helps one face hardship. Good belief can carry one through one stretch of life after another; however great the difficulties and trials, we can rely on good belief to pass each barrier.
II. The role of bad belief
Bad belief makes us drift without striving. Without good belief for support, when such people meet difficulties on life’s road they give way or despair, and life grows harder.
III. The importance of accumulating positive information
On life’s road belief matters, but accumulating positive information is fundamental. Only positive information yields good belief, and good belief helps us cross every obstacle in life and stay in a good state, walking out of every shadow on the road.
Central idea of Belief
The short piece Belief, through positive and negative sides, clarifies the effects of good and bad belief and the importance of good belief. It shows that to build good belief, accumulating positive information is fundamental—only positive information produces good belief, and good belief helps us cross every obstacle and stay in a good state, walking out of every shadow on the road.
Significance of Belief
The ending says Belief is short but weighty. Where lies the great significance of Belief? The great significance of Belief is that it lets each of us see the usual importance of accumulating positive information, the importance of good belief, and the importance of walking the right road in life—so we consciously accumulate positive information, block and clear negative information, establish good belief, and walk the right road without wavering.
That concludes the short piece Belief. Next I explain Part Twenty-Three of The Human Way, Duty and Obligation.
Part Twenty-Three of The Human Way: Duty and Obligation
Essentials of Duty and Obligation
First, a summary of this article’s points. I have nine points, as on screen. I will briefly go through them.
I. Humanity was born into the universe bearing duty and obligation
Lower-dimensional space in the universe needs a species of higher wisdom to lead other species so they too can play a positive role. For this need the Creator made humanity and gave it the role of leader. Thus humanity bears duty and obligation from birth.
II. Humanity’s appearance has indeed brought rapid development to the universe
Why? The author says humanity was given many kinds of ability; those abilities have indeed had great effect within humanity’s range and driven sound development of most species in that range, advancing the whole universe—a foundational role. Of course, “humanity” here is the universe as a whole; humans in a lower space like Earth today have not brought rapid development—they have hindered it.
III. The importance of perfecting the grassroots
In the universe, lower spaces are the most basic level. If that level is not perfected, mid-level foundations suffer. The same logic applies: wherever the base is imperfect, the universe’s overall ascent is affected—a necessary outcome. Relatives awakened through the Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series will grasp this. Take Earth: we are at the bottom of the universe’s space of life—the grassroots. Most righteous descendants, not knowing cosmic or life truth, have fallen into low-frequency, negative lives and become a burden to the great universe. Earth was meant to be our small-universe family’s ground for multiplying lives and training basic ability—a talent base for the family. Because relatives on Earth have not returned to true nature and the right path, that base has trained few people of high wisdom and ability, seriously hindering the family’s ascent. Earth’s example shows why perfecting the grassroots matters.
IV. The two duties and obligations humanity bears
One is to lead the many species in humanity’s space ever upward. The other is to emit positive information, powering the universe’s ascent and supplying higher strata—material for the Creator to make still higher species of wisdom, helping the universe advance faster.
V. Problems of people in lower-dimensional space
They treat life as only an individual, belonging only to themselves. With little knowledge of cosmic truth, they lack the wisdom and horizon to see their lives or to know the universe—a problem of people in lower space and of lower worlds.
VI. Why people in lower space must learn basic cosmic knowledge
Because of these problems, relatives in lower space need this knowledge to raise themselves and form sound views of life, value, and the universe.
VII. What counts as truly beginning to be human
Only when one knows why one lives and the right direction of being human has one truly begun to be human. Conversely, if one does not know why one lives or the right direction, one has not truly begun. Such reminders are precious for each of us.
VIII. How to fulfill duty and obligation
At minimum, have a sense of duty: base everything on duty—toward oneself, those around one, and the whole universe—and think and act from duty. Also fulfill the obligations owed to people and things around one: caring for others, loving all things, and handling everything that happens to oneself—the basic obligations of being human.
IX. Consequences of not knowing one’s duty and obligation
Without that knowledge we live blindly, without right direction, with less and less value. Long life so becomes emptier and we lose confidence in ourselves.
After the essentials, two sentences from the article need clearer explanation. First:
Why does it say “humanity’s appearance has indeed brought rapid development to the universe”?
This is to help relatives break Earth people’s habitual thinking. We cannot judge humanity by Earth alone. In the universe humanity has varieties and levels; it is widely distributed—not only in our galaxy but in others. Some human worlds are very advanced—hundreds or thousands of dimensions; some people reach thousands or tens of thousands of dimensions. Those advanced worlds and high-level people have contributed greatly to the universe. Even in our small-universe family, including Earth there are seventeen physical planets and four non-physical worlds; many surpass Earth in science and civilization. Where development is sound, humanity has fulfilled duty and obligation, led other species upward, and contributed much high-frequency positive information. So humanity’s appearance has indeed brought rapid development.
Yet Earth, under constant invasion and damage by evil forces, has become a low-frequency, negative planet. Most humans have not returned to the nature of their lives; they have not sped the universe’s development—they have seriously hindered it and become a burden to its ascent and to our family. Humanity on Earth as a whole has not yet entered the right track of human development—a reality we must face and change.
Second sentence:
Why does it say “only when one knows why one lives and the right direction of being human has one truly begun to be human”?
This matters greatly for Earth people. Why?
Most relatives on Earth know little cosmic truth, so they lack wisdom and horizon for their lives or ability to know the universe. Many live blindly, have not returned to the nature of righteous, wise life, do not know why they live or their noble role as leaders, and will not bear duty and obligation—such relatives have not entered the right road in life or truly begun to be human. Only after returning to the nature of righteous, wise humanity, knowing why humanity lives and one’s right direction as a human, does one truly begin. Then the life system runs as it should, abilities play a positive role, thought and conduct accord with the Way—such a life benefits the universe and has value.
Central idea of Duty and Obligation
Duty and Obligation explains that from the moment of creation humanity bears the duty to lead other species and emit positive information, and clarifies humanity’s important role in the grassroots of lower-dimensional space. It describes problems of relatives in lower space and why learning basic cosmic knowledge matters, and states clearly that only knowing why one lives and the right direction of being human counts as truly beginning to be human. It teaches how to fulfill duty and obligation and warns of the consequences of ignoring these truths. The author aims through this education for all members to fulfill duty and obligation, contribute to the universe’s ascent, and give each life value and meaning.
The importance of clear duty and obligation
This is vital for Earth people: most have not awakened, still live for themselves, and do not know they were born with duty and obligation. When all righteous descendants on Earth awaken, return to the nature of righteous, wise life, know why they live, and consciously fulfill duty and obligation, righteous force will dominate, evil will weaken, Earth’s field will rise, and Earth will play a positive role; our family will train many pillars in this training ground. That is why each person must see duty and obligation clearly.
The premise is that every relative on Earth can access high knowledge from the righteous universe—so “spread higher-dimensional wisdom until all awaken” should be the consensus and wish of all who awaken first. Spreading that wisdom is also the foremost duty and obligation of the awakened today.
Part Twenty-Three of The Human Way, Duty and Obligation, ends here. Next: Part Twenty-Four, The Window of the Heart.
Part Twenty-Four of The Human Way: The Window of the Heart
Essentials of The Window of the Heart
First, the six essentials of this article—please take them in deeply.
I. Describing the heart
“The heart” is our description of the inner life; it is also one’s window outward.
II. Why a beautiful heart matters
If the heart is not beautiful, outer conduct will not be beautiful either. The heart’s level decides the level of self-cultivation; cultivation also reflects the heart’s level.
III. How to raise the heart’s level
To raise it, we must usually accumulate more positive information and let it play its proper role in our lives.
IV. The important role of positive information
Positive information gathers into strong positive energy, which raises the quality of life and resists interference from negative information without. Positive information is the source of righteous life’s strength and matters for each of us.
V. Relation between information and life
What information we accumulate is what kind of life we become. If we usually accumulate positive information, we become positive lives. If we usually accumulate negative information, we become negative lives, even evil ones.
VI. How to accumulate positive information
To accumulate more, every thought and act in daily life must be positive, so the heart grows purer. A pure heart does not emit negative information. When negative information is gone from our whole life, the environment’s negative information cannot disturb or corrode us.
How to understand
All information we accumulate is channeled through our heart to direct the life body.
After the essentials of The Window of the Heart, we focus on understanding “all information we accumulate is channeled through our heart to direct the life body.”
This sentence matters because it states a truth of life. In Part Eleven, The Inner World of the Human, I explained the relation among the life core system, heart, and vehicle. Each person’s heart is like the commander of one’s life; the life core system is like the heart’s staff; the vehicle is the executor. Whatever information we accumulate, the life core processes accordingly and supplies the heart to give orders. Our conduct arises from the heart directing the life body. The article states how accumulated information relates to life: positive information lets the life body act positively; negative information lets it act negatively.
In Part Four The Role of Emotion, Part Eleven The Inner World of the Human, Part Twelve Wish, and Part Twenty-Two Belief of The Human Way, the author stresses clearing negative information and accumulating positive information.
For example, Part Four The Role of Emotion: when the life’s strength acts under positive information, one can advance bravely and rise continually. When negative emotion arises, the universe gives negative strength, which keeps accumulating negative information toward darkness; when one is fully corroded by negative information, one’s original life information is reshaped.
Part Eleven The Inner World of the Human: only when the heart is trained and all negative information cleared can one return to the pure state the Creator set for each life. Only then can one live by the Creator’s program and cosmic law.
Part Twelve Wish: everyone in the universe is affected by information of many levels. Positive information calms the inner world; negative information disorders it. A disordered inner world blocks wisdom and the use of one’s abilities.
Part Twenty-Two Belief: on life’s road belief matters, but accumulating positive information is fundamental.
I suggest studying these pieces together with The Window of the Heart, staying alert to negative information, taking the author’s teaching to heart, and keeping the heart in a good state.
Central idea of The Window of the Heart
The central idea is to show how positive and negative accumulation affect a person differently, why positive accumulation matters, and how to accumulate more of it to raise the heart’s level and play a positive role in the universe.
Role and value of The Window of the Heart
The Window of the Heart can be called a classic beyond all existing heart-education writing on Earth. Earlier heart teaching stayed shallow: without basic cosmic and life truth, it did not see how accumulated information affects the heart, nor information’s relation to energy, nor humanity’s relation to the universe. The Window of the Heart is only a little over a thousand words—short—but it states truth plainly; fact and truth convince us how to be human in accord with the Way, become a positive life, have a happy life, and supply positive strength to the universe.
Like other parts of The Human Way, it tells cosmic and life truth so we see how to be human, awaken to true nature, and walk the right road willingly—that is its role and value.
Part Twenty-Four of The Human Way, The Window of the Heart, ends here for relatives. Below is a brief summary of this lecture.
Fifth lecture of The Human Way: Summary
The fifth lecture covered for relatives:
Part Twenty-One The Panorama of Life
Part Twenty-Two Belief
Part Twenty-Three Duty and Obligation
Part Twenty-Four The Window of the Heart
—four parts in all.
The Panorama of Life widened our view and pointed the way to advancement; Belief taught the different roles of good and bad belief and the need to keep accumulating positive information; Duty and Obligation taught what humanity’s duties and obligations are and how to fulfill them, and that only knowing why one lives and the right direction of being human is truly beginning to be human; The Window of the Heart showed how positive versus negative accumulation affects a person, so we know to accumulate positive information and raise the heart’s level to play a positive role in the universe.
That ends this lecture. See you in the next.
Higher-Dimensional Wisdom: The Human Way video lecture (transcript), sixth lecture
Lecturer: Dong Fang
October 19, 2018
Overview
Greetings, relatives!
Last lecture we reached Part Twenty-Four of The Human Way. We now begin the sixth lecture—the last.
This lecture covers the last three parts of The Human Way:
Part Twenty-Five The Long View
Part Twenty-Six Fulfillment
Part Twenty-Seven The Right Path in the Human World
First, Part Twenty-Five, The Long View.
Part Twenty-Five of The Human Way: The Long View
Essentials of The Long View
First, the essentials of this article:
I. Our small-universe family’s long view
“Long view” is the common goal of all members of our family: like other families, to develop to a very high level.
II. The state of other families that have developed well
Outside our family, among what we are able to see, many families are doing better and better; their pace accelerates and amazes us. Their worlds have reached a certain height; everything is beautiful. We greatly admire how they live now.
III. Difficulties our small-universe family faces today
We face unprecedented difficulty: lack of talent in every area seriously hinders the family’s ascent. Though we have many fields to develop, without people to reach higher realms we lack a foundation for continual advance toward higher-dimensional space.
IV. The author’s hope and encouragement for members
After seeing the family’s situation clearly, relatives should strive, train their skills, raise their energy frequency, and advance into higher-dimensional space to contribute more to the family’s ascent—showing greater value and glimpsing the face of different worlds in higher space, each level with its own splendor and challenges.
V. Restating how hard it is to bring higher-dimensional wisdom and truth to worlds at every level, and teaching us to cherish it
Being able to convey this knowledge and truth to worlds at each level of the family today is not easy. If we had had this ability earlier, our small-universe family would not still be at this stage. Now that it is achieved, relatives must cherish it—it is each person’s chance to rise and the whole family’s chance to reach its long view.
Those five points are the essentials of The Long View.
Next I explain what sentences the article leaves compressed—what they really mean.
The passage below: how far have those other families developed?
Outside our family, among what we can see, many families are doing better and better, and faster and faster—we are amazed. Their worlds have reached a certain height; everything is beautiful; we greatly admire how they live.
To clarify this, I asked the author: what is the best human world our family’s leaders have visited? The answer:
Our family’s most capable leaders have visited worlds of five hundred to six hundred dimensions—fairly advanced among human worlds. They have also visited one- to two-hundred-dimensional human worlds—fairly common. In a world at frequency five hundred, beings must be at least one thousand or they cannot survive; in a one-hundred-dimensional world, life must be at least two hundred to live normally. Worlds above one hundred dimensions are truly harmonious—no conflict between people or between all things; such levels are already very beautiful. The beauty of five- to six-hundred-dimensional worlds cannot be put into words. Of course there are higher human worlds; our leaders cannot describe what they have not been able to visit.
What does the following sentence mean specifically?
Though we have many fields to develop, without people to reach higher realms we lack a foundation for continual advance toward higher-dimensional space.
This is from the third paragraph; many relatives were unsure what the author meant, so I asked for elaboration:
The universe keeps ascending; our family progresses with it. Because relevant management saw our upward trend, in recent years it approved a batch of new planets for our family’s rapid growth. These new planets are much higher than our present ones. We have enough population to develop them, but talent from our lower worlds, not knowing cosmic or life truth or the family’s present stage, has not raised life’s energy frequency. Many people exist, but without frequency at the needed level they cannot go to such high space to build new worlds—building one world takes many kinds of talent, let alone many worlds. That is what the sentence means.
How to understand the next passage?
Today, conveying this knowledge and truth to worlds at each level of the family is not easy. If we had had this ability earlier, our small-universe family would not still be at this stage.
The first sentence is truth: systematic delivery of higher-dimensional wisdom from higher-dimensional yin worlds down to lower-dimensional, negative yang worlds is very hard. On Earth, in a huge negative field, such up-and-down transmission is very hard. Our family worked long to ask higher departments to design technology that resists Earth’s negative interference and reduces error, to bring righteous family knowledge and education to Earth. When that technology existed, another problem appeared: no one on Earth could carry such a device—no one could activate it. Though management tried for a long time to send relatives from high space to Earth for this mission, it failed. Finally a very important member of our family volunteered for this great task at great risk, to save relatives sunk here. Leadership had hesitated—there was no other way. Step by step, with the whole family’s effort and higher departments’ help, the process completed with relief. Earth people do not grasp how vast Earth’s negative field is or how frenzied evil forces are; our family implemented bit by bit. After this explanation, relatives can see why “today, conveying this knowledge and truth to worlds at each level of the family is not easy” runs so deep.
The second sentence holds regret: if righteous cosmic ideals and higher-dimensional wisdom had reached Earth earlier, evil’s false teachings would not flood as they do now—evil might have had no chance to spread them. If high wisdom had long been widespread on Earth, relatives would know some cosmic and life truth, return to righteous human nature, know why they live, fulfill duty and obligation, and use limited yang time on Earth to train ability and raise quality and frequency; our family would not lack talent and higher space would develop faster. Earth’s yang world has billions; most are righteous descendants, many capable—but without basic truth they live for themselves at low frequency and do not yet play a positive role in the universe. That is regret for Earth and for our family. History cannot be assumed; knowing this regret and the difficulty of yin–yang communication, we should cherish this rare knowledge all the more. As The Long View ends: now that it is done, relatives must cherish it—each person’s chance to rise and the whole family’s chance at its long view. That closing is weighty: it carries our small-universe leadership’s hope for the family’s long view and for every member’s swift rise.
Central idea and significance of The Long View
Through The Long View the author tells all members that our aim is to grow like other advanced families to a very high level; that lack of talent in every area seriously hinders us; and that all members must strive, fear no hardship, accept challenge, train skills, raise frequency, advance into higher-dimensional space, contribute more to the family’s ascent, and strive together for the long view—showing greater value and seeing higher worlds.
Its significance is to give relatives who study it strong family feeling and a far long view, and to know Earth as a training ground for ability and frequency before playing a greater role in higher space. Our family offers a great platform; it eagerly needs talent on Earth to awaken and rise. For those somewhat awake, this piece shows why “spread higher-dimensional wisdom until all awaken” matters and stirs duty and mission.
That concludes Part Twenty-Five The Long View for relatives; next I explain Part Twenty-Six Fulfillment for relatives here.
Part Twenty-Six of The Human Way: Fulfillment
Essentials of Fulfillment
First, the essentials of Fulfillment:
I. Meaning of “fulfillment”
Here “fulfillment” means a person has reached the Creator’s original design expectations for the various abilities of life.
II. Humanity’s first goal in life
Reaching those expectations—what the piece calls a fulfilled human life—is humanity’s first goal in life.
III. Humanity can transform from its own species to a higher species
As a species of higher wisdom, humanity can evolve beyond continual ascent within one species—to transform from its own species to a higher one. When creating a species, the Creator sets a program; when a life completes that program, higher technology can expand it on the original base so it can serve the universe with greater power.
IV. How to perfect abilities
We can begin with fulfilling single abilities, then perfect more.
V. A correct view of evil species
Though some evil species in the universe keep interfering and even harming us, we can use them to train ability and grow wisdom. Their existence also gives us chances to rise quickly. Though we do not like them, we should be grateful—their interference and harm are our chance to rise fast.
VI. Fulfilling one’s abilities cannot be rushed
Reaching fulfillment in every ability takes a very long path—not overnight—so we must not be impatient.
VII. Restating how rare this knowledge is
Today our family can spread this knowledge in worlds at every level—a great fortune for the family and every relative. Reaching this level took enormous effort and sacrifice from all members; those who learn must cherish it. Many worlds in the universe still cannot do this.
VIII. Our family’s ability to spread higher-dimensional wisdom in lower worlds is the fruit of all members fighting day and night at every post
Fulfillment: Q&A
A reader asked three questions as on screen:
Question one
Can all species of higher wisdom in the universe transform from their own species to a higher one?
Question two
If people of our family reach fulfillment, do they become a higher kind of human or another species?
Question three
How can one know a single ability has reached fulfillment?
I answer each.
First question:
There are many species of higher wisdom in the universe, but not all can transform from their own species to a higher one. Only new-era species like humanity have this power. “New-era species” means species created relatively late in cosmic history. This follows from the great universe’s level of science and from higher existence growing ever stronger in making wiser, more able species. Part One of The Human Way, The Meaning of Humanity’s Existence, states clearly that humanity is a representative new-era species because the Creator gave humanity many abilities.
Second question:
Relatives in high space tell me that if our family reaches fulfillment, we do not become another species but a higher level of human—higher than our family’s variety. The new variety after transformation changes within and without, is set to be more flexible and advanced, and fits higher space better to serve the universe. Humanity has many varieties—some above us, some below. The highest human life frequency has passed twenty thousand dimensions; we can hardly imagine such beings’ power and wisdom—we can only sense the gap. This wording fits Earth understanding; “human varieties” can seem similar yet, to deep knowledge, not the same species—classification depends on depth. Like birds: to the ignorant they are all “birds”; to an expert they are many species, some looking alike but not the same. This is to say: do not be trapped in present knowledge; the universe’s mysteries are endless—keep exploring.
Third question: How can one know a single ability has reached fulfillment?
Fulfillment teaches that the Creator gave us many abilities. Though we cannot yet perfect all at once, we can perfect them one by one—that counts as single-ability fulfillment. Some relatives ask how we know one ability is fulfilled.
I asked the author. We need not obsess over whether a given ability is fulfilled. The article teaches perfecting one ability at a time rather than all at once—using strengths, breaking through in specialties, embodying value in the universe—then other abilities, gradually reaching all the Creator set—the fastest path to fulfillment. We cannot perfect all abilities at once.
Those three answers end here.
Central idea of Fulfillment
Fulfillment tells us that humanity can reach the Creator’s design expectations for all abilities—fulfilling life’s first goal—and can, with the Creator’s help, transform from its species to a higher one. Knowing this, we should rouse ourselves, start from the base, from single-ability fulfillment toward more, and trust that on life’s long road we can fulfill our wishes and life, entering higher realms. It warns against impatience and asks us to train well, bring out all abilities, and let them play their role in the universe.
What Fulfillment means for Earth people
Fulfillment lays out a full life map: great ideals and goals; the universe as the platform for ability and value; each world a stop to train and show value—without clinging. Only when we fulfill the Creator’s expectations for every ability have we reached humanity’s first life goal. Reaching a fulfilled human life means great contribution to the universe, duty and obligation fulfilled, and standing among the most outstanding human lives. Such an aim is noble; it takes selfless giving life after life and continual self-transcendence. Fulfillment states life’s truth—not the narrow, blind “fulfillment” some on Earth chase. It widens our horizon from a small Earth to the vast universe; relatives who did not know life truth learn that life is not mere decades on Earth but eons or longer. Once we return to true nature and the right path and live by righteous education, each life can be that long. When we know The Human Way’s truths and how to be human, we see how rare this teaching is on Earth; Earth becomes the starting point of the right path and we begin the journey of wise life.
Part Twenty-Six Fulfillment ends here. Next: Part Twenty-Seven The Right Path in the Human World.
Part Twenty-Seven of The Human Way: The Right Path in the Human World
Essentials of The Right Path in the Human World
The Right Path in the Human World is the closing part of The Human Way. Below are its main points.
I. Why the theme “right path in the human world” was chosen
The author states the purpose in paragraphs one, ten, and thirteen.
Paragraph one: hope all members, through The Human Way, know how to walk the right path in the human world.
Paragraph ten: tell relatives what that path is and how to walk it to play a role in the universe and embody true value.
Paragraph thirteen: explain the meaning so relatives have a correct view and avoid misunderstanding.
II. Consequences of living against cosmic law
Whoever lives against cosmic law does not find true happiness or joy or embody true value. Although they may survive for a time in the universe, they live in vexation and pain and will ultimately be eliminated by the great universe.
III. The righteous family’s educational philosophy
The righteous family’s educational philosophy is that relatives should study materials compiled by higher management, raise understanding, know cosmic law better, and live by it.
IV. Gratitude to forebears
Since our family began, forebears have contributed greatly—many forebears and relatives paid with their lives for the family’s building and growth; we should be grateful.
V. The author’s worry about relatives in lower worlds
As a main leader of our small-universe family, the author worries greatly about relatives in lower-dimensional worlds: many have become puppets of evil and slid toward evil worlds.
VI. Problems of relatives in lower worlds
Without access to our family’s systematic righteous teaching, many have lost direction and declined; many have become evil’s puppets, cannot tell right from wrong or good from evil, no longer know the standard of right and wrong—so they do not know what the right path is or whether they walk it. Few relatives in lower worlds walk the right path in the human world.
VII. Meaning of “the right path in the human world”
The article gives three layers:
The right path in the human world is to live in accord with cosmic law;
In everything one does, act in accord with cosmic law;
Only one who fully lives in accord with cosmic law truly walks the right path in the human world.
These three layers are the standard of the right path.
VIII. Summary of The Human Way as a whole
The Human Way helps all relatives correct and raise themselves through study toward that high standard. Only the right path gives a chance to play a greater role and embody greater value in higher-dimensional worlds.
Reader question
A reader asked:
The Right Path in the Human World says: “The true right path in the human world has a higher standard. One must not only be a good person but know cosmic law and act in accord with it in everything—that is the true right path.”
Can we reach such a high standard?
Many relatives studying this piece may feel the standard is too high and hard. It is not so—why?
First, the Creator made humanity with the mission of leader and gave justice, selflessness, love, creation, responsibility, and other noble traits—humanity was made according to cosmic law to advance the universe.
Second, only those who live in accord with cosmic law fit the program the Creator set for human life, find true happiness and joy, and embody value. Whoever lives against cosmic law does not find true happiness or joy or embody true value. Although they may survive for a time in the universe, they live in vexation and pain and will ultimately be eliminated by the great universe.
Third, such doubt exists because Earth has never had systematic higher teaching—relatives do not know basic life or cosmic truth, or life’s value and meaning, cannot tell right from wrong or good from evil, do not know the standard—so they do not know the right path or whether they walk it; they live numb, without drive, in rigid habit.
Because Earth people’s lives are generally low, the family’s highest management overcame great obstacles to bring this higher wisdom so we can know life and cosmic truth and every member can know the right path in the human world and how to act in accord with cosmic law. The standard is not too high—we have not returned to righteous nature, not seen ourselves as righteous wise life, not borne the duty and obligation the Creator gave each person. The right path in the human world is the bright road for righteous humanity in the great universe—the way each righteous person must rise and the only correct road. If we change ourselves as The Human Way teaches, everyone can walk this bright road.
Central idea of The Right Path in the Human World
The Right Path in the Human World is the closing part of The Human Way and sums up the whole book. Its central idea is to teach members what the right path in the human world is and how to walk it, leading all members onto that path.
Value and significance of The Right Path in the Human World
As leader of a family of nearly a hundred billion people across many dimensional levels—yang and yin worlds—the author teaches from the height of all humanity’s development in the great universe. Placing The Right Path in the Human World at the close of The Human Way is deeply intentional. That path is humanity’s bright road; as righteous wise life each person must live by cosmic law, uphold the universe’s ascent, and take the righteous universe’s development as one’s task. The author tells us the right path is to live by cosmic law; only truly living by cosmic law and not harming the universe’s ascent is walking that path—and only that path gives a chance for a greater role and value in higher-dimensional worlds.
The piece also says that since our family began, forebears contributed greatly. As righteous descendants we should inherit, learn, and carry forward their spirit of facing hardship, accepting challenge, and creating ever anew. Early days were harsh; today material life is rich and living easier—relatives in every world should be grateful for this ease and for forebears’ sacrifice—especially those who paid with their lives for building and growing the family. Yet relatives in lower worlds, especially on Earth—the family’s lowest-frequency yang world—without access to systematic righteous teaching, do not know these truths, lack gratitude, grow numb, lose direction, decline; many become evil’s puppets. Without ability to tell right from wrong, they do not know the standard or the right path or whether they walk it—few in lower space walk the right path in the human world. The author worries deeply; knowing this, highest leadership spreads higher-dimensional wisdom so all members know the path and how to live by cosmic law. For an individual, to live in accord with the Way is the right path; so for a nation or a world—building, developing, and governing by cosmic law is the right path. Earth’s many problems root in not knowing basic life or cosmic truth, losing righteous wise nature, and leaving the right path. Solving them requires spreading high wisdom and education so every relative can know true life and cosmic truth, return to true nature, and walk the right path. Earth relatives should be glad: highest leadership has pointed out the path—we need not search blindly; with gratitude, following family leaders and receiving systematic righteous higher teaching, returning to righteous nature and living in accord with the Way, we will not stray, and each person’s problems solved solve the world’s. Those who learn and awaken first must work so more relatives can access this precious knowledge.
The Right Path in the Human World closes The Human Way. For us on Earth who study it, we have only just seen how far we are from that path. Life is a long road to embody value; this piece is like the entrance to the bright road—only on that path can we play a greater role and embody greater value in higher-dimensional worlds. It educates ordinary members and guides managers at every level.
Part Twenty-Seven The Right Path in the Human World ends here for relatives.
Sixth lecture of The Human Way: Summary
The sixth lecture explained The Human Way
Part Twenty-Five The Long View
Part Twenty-Six Fulfillment
Part Twenty-Seven The Right Path in the Human World
—three parts in all. What they share is height—such teaching is unprecedented on Earth.
Part Twenty-Five The Long View stands at the height of all humanity’s development in the great universe to teach members of our small-universe family that our aim is to grow like other advanced families to a very high level. It teaches all members to strive, fear no hardship, accept challenge, train skills, raise frequency, advance into higher-dimensional space, contribute more to the family’s ascent, and strive together for the long view.
Part Twenty-Six Fulfillment tells us that humanity can reach the Creator’s expectations for all abilities—fulfilling life’s first goal—and can transform to a higher species with the Creator’s help. Knowing this, we should rouse ourselves, start from the base, from single-ability fulfillment toward more.
Part Twenty-Seven The Right Path in the Human World is the closing part; as main manager of the small universe, the author teaches members what the right path in the human world is and how to walk it, leading all members onto that path.
That ends this lecture.
The Human Way: full book summary
That is my explanation of The Human Way; I hope it offers some inspiration. To grasp the author’s message deeply, relatives should read and revisit the book many times. Only together with the whole Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series, the author’s station, and our small-universe family’s stage can one see this work’s height, breadth, and depth—and its great value for Earth humanity’s development.
The preface and twenty-seven short parts of The Human Way are fully explained; below is a summary of the whole book.
The author is our small-universe family’s highest leader. In the preface he says The Human Way teaches the basics of being human and that this learning helps one find the right direction in life. It covers how to be human and our family’s situation; it was written so all members can rise through this learning and serve the universe more powerfully. The twenty-seven themes are like twenty-seven signposts leading us from darkness onto the right track; following them, one may reach the highest fulfillment in life. The twenty-seven parts guide us from returning to true nature onto the right path in the human world to final fulfillment. Relatives should read the twenty-seven themes as one arc; when you see the right path the author marks, you grasp the work’s message.
The Human Way and the whole Higher-Dimensional Wisdom series share two traits: they convey cosmic and life truth so we know how to be human, and they hope and expect without rigid demand. Both reflect the righteous universe’s educational philosophy and guide us well. After The Human Way, any relative with some wisdom and sense of duty can see that it is not only a textbook but fundamental education without which humanity cannot advance—and a guide for human society’s direction.
I hope relatives have gained the essence of The Human Way through my explanation. Given limits of my life level and ability, I have surely missed nuances; omissions are inevitable—I ask relatives’ forgiveness and welcome correction!
Gratitude to the author!
Gratitude to the mentor!
Gratitude to the core team for their help!
Thank you, relatives, for watching!
