FINAL PART – FINAL STEP IN THE REUNION JOURNEY TO THE GENERAL

1. What is time? How its affection to human beings?     

   Before delving into the main section, let’s explore the concept of time and its nature. For all of humanity, regardless of their level of civilization, the past holds significance, the future is of utmost importance, but the present remains the most crucial. We can reflect on and understand the past, but we must live in the present to shape the future. If we desire a beautiful future, humans must cultivate conscious enlightenment, awakening, complete knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. Our future’s brightness or darkness hinges on our current thoughts and actions. In truth, the timings of the past and future are not tangible; we can only imagine and reminisce about the past, but we cannot truly experience it. The timing of the past exists solely within our individual memories. Every human experience, whether related to decisions, choices, careers, or memories, can only occur in the present through consciousness.

   For instance, imagine you and your beloved spouse occasionally meet for coffee to reminisce about the happy and sad moments you’ve shared in life. These nostalgic reflections allow us to experience moments from the past through our consciousness, reliving the emotions we once felt. However, these experiences only take place in the existing reality.

   The past continually exists in the present, casting its shadow over the present moment. People must face and address the consequences of their past decisions and choices. For example, a year ago, a couple decided to purchase a house through a mortgage. In the current month, they must make mortgage payments. Last month, you decided to open a coffee bar, so now you must wake up early each day to prepare for customers. Last week, you made the regrettable decision to drive while intoxicated, resulting in a fatal accident and your current incarceration. Despite the challenges, you persevered in your studies, leading to a stable job with a high salary and a successful life.

   In reality, humans tend to be fixated on the past, living for it. Many of us habitually read morning newspapers to check yesterday’s stock prices, gold prices, and exchange rates or to learn about serious crimes and wars in distant places. Understanding the past to plan for the future is a prudent endeavor. However, some people focus on the past out of curiosity, subjecting themselves to negative and useless information that leaves them weary.

   While we can plan and prepare for the future, we cannot experience the timing of the future because it exists solely within human consciousness. We can only envision future scenarios through the reality of our consciousness. There is no tangible future timeline for us to experience. For example, when you have a coffee date with a friend at 8 am tomorrow morning at a café, everything from the moment you agreed to the appointment until 8 am tomorrow is considered future time. However, in reality, we live from moment to moment until we meet our friend and engage in the coffee discussion. Until that meeting, there is no future; it is all part of the present.

   The past, present, and future are interconnected as one continuous entity. Everything from the past and everything in the future can only happen in the present. The past continually exists in the present, and we create the future in the present moment. In the example of scheduling a coffee date with a friend, the decision to meet at a coffee shop creates a future moment. Until you actually meet your friend and discuss your plans, you are living in the present, reflecting on your past decision. The connection between the past, present, and future gives rise to what we perceive as time, much like the connection between body, mind, and spirit creates human life. Every experience and emotion we have in the present is a product of our past creative thoughts. In the present, our minds constantly draw from existing memories and move forward to shape the future. Everything unfolds in the reality of the present; there is no other temporal dimension. The relationship between the past and the future occurs within the ongoing, eternal flow of the present moment. Human beings live to experience the script written in the past and to create the future in the reality of the present.

   For instance, at 10 pm, you feel hungry because you didn’t eat much in the afternoon. Your mind presents you with choices to address your hunger. First, it suggests having beef noodles, but you reject this idea because it’s late and you’re too tired to go out. Your mind then offers a second choice: having cake instead of beef noodles, but you dismiss this option due to concerns about stomach discomfort. Finally, you decide on instant noodles and promptly begin preparing them. As you enjoy the delicious noodles, you realize you crave something spicy, so you head to the kitchen for some chili. This seemingly spontaneous action was actually created by your mind in the past. Even though it happened in a matter of seconds, it was a result of a previous decision—your choice of instant noodles. When you feel hungry in the present, it’s a consequence of not eating much in the afternoon, a past occurrence.

   There are experiences we expect, such as floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis, which can lead to the loss of loved ones. But there are also incredibly fascinating experiences, like watching a football game and then unexpectedly winning the jackpot. Winning the jackpot may seem like luck, but it’s the result of your intention—you had to buy a ticket. Watching the football game was meant to satisfy your passion for sports, not to win the lottery. When you do win, it goes beyond your initial intention and desire. Similarly, natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis are not products of our minds, but they still affect us. All these events stem from choices made by our minds and actions in the past, which we can refer to as our “past lives.” In reality, things happen not solely due to our present subjective thoughts but because of the choices and actions we made in the past. Even seemingly unexpected and uninteresting experiences have their roots in the choices and actions of our past. We may not recall these past creations, as we often forget our past lives. Only God and spiritual forces possess knowledge of what we’ve chosen in our “past lives,” which is often referred to as destiny, karma, previous deeds, or words frequently discussed by people.

   Everything in the universe occurs simultaneously; there is no concept of before or after.

   For instance, imagine you are in Saigon, experiencing nighttime at 9 PM, while someone’s son in Dallas is in a 9 AM time zone, another person is experiencing 2:00 PM in London, and at the same time, someone is working in outer space, encountering a different time zone altogether, unrelated to afternoon or night. Despite being in different time zones and states of consciousness, these four individuals are actually experiencing the same unique time field. This is referred to as the eternal time field, a singular and simultaneous experience within the universe’s space environment.

   In reality, time itself is not tangible; it exists only within our intellectual awareness. A year on Earth is defined as 365 days and 6 hours, while a year on planet Y in another galaxy might be 3650 days. All these rules are constructs of human consciousness, based on the motion of Earth and planet Y. Earth’s rotation on its axis during its journey around the sun constitutes a day and night cycle. Orbiting the sun 30 times constitutes a month, and 365 orbits make up a year. Time, or rather the passage of time, is the result of Earth’s movement through space.

   To illustrate that time is not an inherent reality, consider this example: A spaceship embarks on a journey from Earth to planet Y, with an estimated travel time of 10 years, as calculated by Earth’s experts. However, the astronauts aboard the spaceship are not provided with calendars or clocks, and the experts do not disclose the total duration of the journey to them. When the spaceship eventually lands on planet Y, the astronauts will have no way of knowing how long the journey took. This is because time, as a distinct concept, does not exist for them while traveling through the universe. For them, time simply means progressing from one moment to the next. Only individuals on Earth can determine that the spaceship has traveled for 10 years based on the number of Earth’s orbits around the sun, while those on planet Y might say the spaceship operated for one year, based on planet Y’s rotation.

   Similarly, if you were to live underground without access to calendars, clocks, or external communication, you would have no awareness of time. Your perception of time would be solely based on your daily activities. During this time, you wouldn’t be able to calculate time because it would be nonexistent; it would be a continuous series of moments within the eternal time field. However, individuals on the surface of the Earth could still determine how long you had lived underground based on Earth’s rotation.

   The distinction between the past, present, and future is an illusion, as famously stated by Albert Einstein. The perception and measurement of time are fundamentally different from the divine perspective. Time is an illusion—it appears to exist, yet it is not real. In contrast, God, the true Holy Divine, has the ability to make us feel His nonexistence. God can only exist when our minds are free from the constraints of time, thought, and memory. As long as the mind remains within the realm of known concepts and thoughts, the unknown, and consequently the truth, cannot manifest.

   Regardless of where God resides or how He exists in space, such details are irrelevant. However, if God wishes to experience the emotions of joy and sorrow that humans go through, He must also engage in the temporal aspects of those emotions. Therefore, humans, God, and all beings in the universe coexist within this unique eternal time field.

   In the Vietnamese language, the word for time is “thời,” and “gian” means not true or not real. Therefore, “thời gian” can be interpreted as the unreal moment, something that doesn’t truly exist. Only space, “không gian,” is real and tangible, something we can observe, measure, and calculate.

   Given this perspective, it is imperative to cherish the present and accomplish what we can today without delay. All actions can only occur in the present moment. The past and the future can only manifest within the present; there is no other temporal domain. Therefore, we should not dwell excessively on the past in our present lives, even though we recognize that the past always exists in the present. Similarly, we should not fixate on the future but remain aware of it and take action in the present. While humans cannot change the past or the future, they have the power to change everything in the present.

   We have experienced the games in darkness, and now it is time to embrace the game of light. It’s difficult to definitively say which game is easier, but it’s undeniable that the greater the rewards offered by a game, the more challenging it is to attain them. In this game, we never truly lose; it’s just a matter of when we achieve the rewards. Sooner or later, it depends on our choices and how we think and act in the present.

   2. How should human beings awaken?

   The pressing question is what humans should do in the future to attain the Kingdom of Heaven, achieve full awakening, and return to a state of holy divinity.

   In reality, no matter how much focus is placed on acquiring wealth, fame, and power, it is impossible to return to one’s divine self and the Kingdom of Heaven. Awakening is a process, but we cannot determine whether we have completed the initial phase of dark experiences, no matter how hard we try, whom we follow, or what actions we undertake. The path to awakening must unfold according to its own natural, inevitable process.

   Within all the positive endeavors on our journey back home, charity holds great importance. However, when we speak of charity, it should not be associated with mere “doing.” In higher states of spiritual consciousness, charity is not an action; it is a way of being. Charity is the act of sharing, assisting others, and volunteering one’s actions.

   Our most pressing current issue is not merely taking action, but cultivating consciousness, awakening, and enlightenment. To begin, human beings should seek a deeper understanding of the spiritual world: Who is God? What is the origin of human beings? Who are we? What is our purpose on Earth? Where will we go, and what can we achieve? What should we do in the near future to attain our desires?

   When humans grasp the truth, it serves as motivation for personal growth. When we become aware of the truth, there is no turning back; we always move forward. Awareness of the truth leads people to choose the path of heaven over that of hell. As people become aware of the truth, they are prompted to act in harmony with the call of their soul and the love emanating from their hearts. This love inspires actions of compassion, charity, tolerance, generosity, forgiveness, sharing, and assistance.

   When love speaks from the heart, people feel happiness, purity, warmth, simplicity, and a close connection with gratitude towards God. Over time, we may have encountered negative traits within ourselves. Now is the time to open our hearts wide, providing freedom and space for love to speak. It’s time to let consciousness and love guide our souls. By becoming aware of these aspects, we can attain everything we desire.

   The present moment is the time to cultivate self-awareness and not allow negative emotions such as hatred, jealousy, anger, selfishness, greed, lust, desire, dominance, possession, anxiety, sorrow, and ungratefulness to trouble us. Instead, we should let these emotions rest in our memory. We should not live through these emotions in our minds, although there may still be some obstacles affecting us.

   When negative emotions impact us, we should immediately remind ourselves of our higher purpose, our holy destiny. We must use our consciousness to tame these negative emotional responses. While negative information may exist in our subconscious and our repository of past lives’ information (RPLI), it can emerge at any time. In reality, humans have lived in darkness and experienced negative traits for thousands of years.

   It would be incorrect to assume that one can immediately eliminate existing negative traits from the mind. We cannot separate from them, but we need not depend on them. It’s essential to understand that attempting to control emotions with reason alone can be counterproductive. Using methods like violence, repression, confinement, discipline, or coercion to control emotions often leads to failure. Attempting to control emotions through an instantaneous cessation of negative traits is no different from a government’s attempt to control hungry and rebellious citizens.

   Those who claim they can instantly rid themselves of negative traits are walking on dangerous ground. What others may perceive as an immediate transformation is often a temporary facade, akin to a calm sea before a looming storm.

   Human beings enter periods of positive transformation when they are ready. Progress begins with small changes in our daily lives, starting with ourselves. Positive and negative experiences are natural processes that cannot be rushed, restricted, or forced. To help transform negative traits, God has provided us with the darkness and a lack of consciousness. Thus, every change in humans begins with consciousness, followed by action. In reality, human beings will never completely eliminate past negative traits; they will persist in the mind, unaltered and eternal. Our challenge is to replace and fulfill rather than eradicate. Consciousness is the beginning and end, leading human souls toward absolute love and light.

   For example, consider a girl who has been abandoned by her boyfriend, leading to feelings of anger, disappointment, hurt, boredom, and loneliness. These emotions stem from the loss of emotional and material support, as well as the imagined loss of a future together. She may feel a loss of physical attraction, happiness, and shared habits. This situation can lead to self-isolation, difficulties in love, and depression. To overcome this, the girl must not forget her ex-boyfriend by deleting him from her memory but rather by creating alternative information. The most effective method is her awakening, finding another person to love and be loved by. The more alternative data from new love she generates, the less power the old memories will hold. If she were to meet her ex-boyfriend again, any old memories of past love would simply be seen as part of her history without causing pain.

   Similarly, consider a child who grew up in a complicated neighborhood, surrounded by friends engaged in negative behaviors such as theft, smoking, drinking, and gambling. Understandably, this worries the child’s parents, as the child may also exhibit such behaviors due to the environment. The best solution is to cut off the transmission of data that can activate the child’s repository of past lives’ information (RPLI). The parents choose to move to a new home in a better living environment where the child can interact with good friends and neighbors, providing a source of positive information to replace the negative data in the child’s mind.

   Likewise, in our neighborhoods, we may encounter flies, mosquitoes, rats, and bugs, while nearby neighborhoods do not. Many people resort to killing these pests, but they seem to return quickly. Flies, mosquitoes, rats, and bugs in our biological world represent dark forces. Just as with other dark forces, having them around can hinder us from leading a good life. The root causes of these pests are dirty and polluted living environments. To eliminate them, we must change our consciousness by cleaning and renovating our surroundings, which will cause them to disappear naturally. We cannot exterminate all flies, rodents, or negative thinking and lifestyles around us, but we can destroy their living conditions.

   Therefore, it is vital to change our own environment, distance ourselves from negativity, and embrace a positive living environment. Simultaneously, we must maintain self-awareness, remain awakened, and lead an active lifestyle to allow negativity to dissipate.

   Similarly, governments in many countries and many individuals tend to view religious organizations and terrorists as the dark forces of modern society. Consequently, governments allocate significant resources and employ modern weaponry in their efforts to combat terrorism. However, as we have observed, the more we attempt to eradicate terrorism through force, the more it proliferates. Destroying one organization leads to the emergence of others, and cutting off one head of the snake results in others growing in its place.

   Terrorist ideologies are often driven by powerful desires for wealth and prosperity. The root causes of terrorism lie in blind faith, ignorance, fanaticism, and profound fears embedded in the souls of terrorists. These individuals fear everything, including God, Allah, sin, neglecting a single prayer, missing a day of religious observance, and violating religious rituals. However, there is one thing that terrifies everyone but does not deter terrorists: death. Death is their pathway to an illusory heaven if their actions are seen as protecting the honor of God, the cardinal faith, and religious beliefs. Thus, they are unafraid of death; they are willing to sacrifice their lives to attain the heavenly reward they yearn for. This unwavering commitment to their cause is a significant reason why government armies struggle to eradicate terrorist organizations.

   For most people, death signifies the end of life, but for terrorists, it is a deserved outcome. Their extreme faith and blind fanaticism make it clear that traditional methods such as killing, bombing, and the use of modern weapons will not eradicate so-called terrorism. Governmental forces cannot destroy all terrorist organizations. The problem lies not in physically ending their lives but in addressing their fears, blind faith, and ignorance that reside within their minds and souls. To combat terrorism, we must destroy these internal elements with intellectual enlightenment, spiritual truth, and the knowledge of God, rather than relying solely on weapons. Governments may not be able to eradicate terrorism, but if individuals who work with the light can help terrorists become aware of the truth, discern between light and darkness, and overcome their fears and fanaticism, they may no longer engage in acts of terror. The true breeding ground for terrorism is not the mountains or forests but the fanaticism and fear within their souls.

   The external appearance of all matter is a reflection of the inner consciousness of individuals, groups, or humanity as a whole. Terrorism is no exception to this principle.

   Throughout our lives, we accumulate information that forms a continuous stack of documents in our minds, arranged chronologically from one life to the next. This information can be likened to documents stored in an unopened box; to access it, we must retrieve items from the top to the bottom. The longer this information remains recorded, the more challenging it becomes to access.

   In the present, human conscious activities are limited because we exist within 3D bodies. In the 3D realm, humans can only access and receive information in one-dimensional space, progressing from top to bottom or from the outer to the inner. However, when we possess a light body, we can access and receive information rapidly. In this state, we can access information in multi-dimensional space.

   For instance, in a 3D body, to read the contents of a book, we must turn its pages one by one. Yet, in a light body, we can simply pick up the book and instantly grasp its entire content, observing it from many dimensions and multiple dimensional spaces. This is akin to undergoing medical tomography, where hundreds of highly precise machines capture a comprehensive view at once. Consequently, we instantly understand the entire content of the book.

   For the reasons stated above, we can only bury memories instead of erasing them. We cannot practice the removal of negative characteristics but should employ numerous positive actions to cover and bury negative information within our minds. The more we become aware of the positive, the more beauty we experience in every aspect of life, aligning with the laws of God’s grace.

   Our lives become more complete and beautiful as God works to push back negative traits. Those who hold significant influence over humanity, society, countries, and the world, including religious leaders, politicians, government officials, leaders of multinational corporations, banks, educational leaders, and telecommunications magnates, need to awaken quickly. These individuals have been granted power, fame, wealth, and enjoyment that surpass those of others in the present. As a result, they bear greater responsibilities. Spiritual awakening will enable them to convey more valuable messages than ordinary individuals, and their awakening can serve as a driving force to awaken more people.

   Awakening oneself is an action that aids others. These influential individuals have been given power, fame, money, wealth, and enjoy greater privileges than others in the present. Consequently, they bear higher responsibilities than the average person. Spiritual awakening enables them to convey more significant messages than ordinary individuals, and their awakening can serve as a driving force to awaken more people.

   It is essential for them to awaken quickly because God has bestowed this group with power, fame, wealth, and enjoyment beyond that of others in the present. Therefore, they hold greater responsibilities. Spiritual awakening will enable them to convey more valuable messages compared to ordinary individuals, and their awakening can serve as a driving force to awaken more people.

   To awaken themselves is an action that helps others. These individuals, including religious leaders, politicians, government leaders, corporate CEOs, bankers, and those in high positions in society such as educators and telecommunications leaders, need to recognize their higher responsibilities. Spiritual awakening will allow them to contribute with more impactful voices compared to ordinary individuals. Their awakening will serve as a driving force to awaken more people.

   Awakening oneself is an action that helps others. Those who hold significant influence over mankind, society, countries, and the world, such as religious leaders, politicians, government officials, leaders of multinational corporations, banks, educators, and telecommunications magnates, need to awaken quickly.

   Awakening oneself is an action that benefits others. Those who choose not to awaken are like individuals who arrive late on other planets. In the practice of the unconditioned law, God does not accept delay because it causes setbacks and disrupts His grand plan. Human beings are faced with two choices that God permits: either awaken and return to the world of God or continue into another life of darkness in a different galaxy.

   3. What should human beings do after awakening and enlightenment?

   Typically, when people think about awakening and enlightenment, they associate these concepts with spiritual awakening. Consequently, a common question arises: What spiritual rituals should individuals engage in after awakening?

   This is a concern shared by many individuals who pursue spirituality and seek conscious awakening. They often grapple with questions about how to please Mr. or Mrs. God, Mr. Buddha, Mr. Lord, or Mr. Saint. They may feel perplexed about which religion, sect, or group is the most suitable for them. Additionally, they may struggle to decide whether to follow the teachings of Buddha, God, a Master, a Priest, or a Monk who claims to be enlightened.

   In reality, human beings possess a peculiar trait. They often lack confidence in themselves, leading to their own suffering. They constantly search for the truth in distant places, even though they are living within the truth, bathed in it, and already hold it. This self-torment is akin to a scientist sending a message to the universe in the hope of receiving a response from an intellectual being, even though what they seek has always existed on Earth, right beside them and within them. However, they hesitate to believe in these facts and continue their distant search in the universe.

   This is a deep sorrow and concern for many individuals. They hold others in high esteem and lavish praise upon them, idolizing them. Yet, they consistently underestimate themselves and believe they are superior in their knowledge. Such an ideology perpetuates expectations of miracles, reliance on others, and dependence on specific teachers, ultimately diminishing their creative potential. They must understand that, like anyone else, they do not fall short in any aspect. God has endowed them with everything that others possess. By fostering confidence and unleashing their hidden, boundless potential, they can attain all they desire. It is only through underestimating themselves that they fall short, as God continually evaluates human beings.

   The truth does not reside in the Bible, scriptures, philosophy, religion, books, or any other formula. It is not found in the teachings of Buddha, God, or any other prominent Masters. Even though all these teachings contain truths, they are not “our” truths. They belong to Buddha, God, or those who created the Bible, books, and formulas.

   The truth is always unchanging; no one can alter it. So when we ask, “What is the truth?” the answer is that truth is nothing more than the truth itself, and there is nothing else to it. The true nature of every event, thing, and truth is entirely distinct. However, in reality, the truth is marvelous, simple, unassuming, and accessible. It does not discriminate, reject, or say no to anyone. Anyone with a genuine desire, passion, and quest for truth will discover it. The truth exists everywhere and is present in all aspects of life. But we will never grasp the truth if we do not actively seek it for ourselves. The truth is continually evolving and changing; it is never stagnant. This does not mean that one fact replaces another; rather, it signifies that the truth is in constant motion. The transformation and operation of truth can be easily understood through the following examples:

   For instance, last year, you were homeless, wandering from place to place; that was a fact. Today, you have a stable life and a home; that is also a fact. Last month, you were in despair and unable to plan for the future; that was a fact. Now, you think clearly, have a plan for the future, and find joy and meaning in life; that is still true.

   Similarly, the truth regarding the number of Ebola-related deaths changes daily. The truth about the price of gold fluctuates every minute, and a company’s profit changes every quarter.

   Human beings cannot discover the eternal and profound truth unless they become aware of the small and simple truths unfolding around them. As Albert Einstein wisely stated, “Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” Therefore, we must consciously understand the truths in our own lives before addressing more significant issues. Without awareness of the obstacles in our path and an understanding of their true nature, we cannot reach our desired destinations.

   The truth is a peculiar and exceptional concept because it is unlike anything else. People can offer others many things in life, such as money, fame, power, wealth, respect, and love, but the truth is not something that can be given. However, there is one thing quite similar to the truth, and that is happiness. In a similar vein, one can provide assistance to others in creating their own happiness, but we cannot bestow our own happiness upon them. As mentioned earlier, happiness is something each individual keeps for themselves; it is not a given. People can give love to others to help them find happiness. While this may appear similar, the truth always retains its unique distinctions. When people become aware of the truth and understand it about a specific issue, no one can take away the knowledge they have gained. Conversely, happiness can be taken away from others in various ways, which does not mean that someone can use that person’s happiness; it means they bring pain, causing the individual to lose their own happiness.

   The truth and the ego-self may seem similar because both are unique and cannot be taken from someone by others. However, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Our truth is something we must seek, while our ego-self is something we create ourselves.

   Regarding J. Krishnamurti’s statement, “Truth is a pathless land,” it holds various meanings. One interpretation is that truth is something each individual must discover on their own path. The journey to find the truth requires the use of one’s own intellect and consciousness, and it is a unique voyage with no companions or established trails. Just as the fact is pathless, the truth is also pathless, and there are no identical facts or truths. Each fact and truth is distinct, shaped by the nature of the events and content they pertain to. Therefore, when trying to understand the truth, it is essential to view other people’s information as questions rather than answers. By approaching these questions without judgment or prejudice and becoming aware of them, one can grasp their own truth, which is unique to them.

   For instance, consider the concept of the law of energy conservation, the general theory of relativity, or the special theory of relativity. People may read or hear about these topics, but if they do not understand or become aware of them, they do not possess the truth about what they have encountered. The journey to find the truth must be undertaken by the individual themselves. Others can only provide the raw materials and data for the truth, but they cannot find the truth on behalf of someone else.

   The truth transferred from one person to another ceases to be true unless the recipient renews and reprograms it through their own consciousness. A simple example illustrates this point: when you purchase three candies, and the salesperson asks you for 6 dong, it is a simple truth that everyone knows. However, even though truth can be simple or complex, it is encoded within information and requires conscious processing. From the moment information is received until it is consciously processed, it is an obligatory process, whether it occurs in an instant or takes longer. While it may be simple for a typical person to understand that three candies cost 6 dong, an individual with Down syndrome may struggle to grasp this concept, despite possessing a soul like anyone else in the universe. The challenge for humans is not who is superior to others but rather who can become aware of the truth.

   For example, consider a scenario where a farmer has 365 mangoes, and a merchant offers to buy them at 2400 dong per mango. After negotiation, the merchant calculates the total amount as 876,000 dong and informs the farmer. At this point, the belief exists with the farmer, but it is not yet the truth. Because the farmer is illiterate and does not understand addition and multiplication calculations, he remains uncertain whether he received the correct amount of money or not. This case illustrates that we cannot obtain the truth solely from someone else’s words, books, or formulas. We must verify and consciously understand them.

   For example, there was a young man who initially rejected Buddha’s teaching that “life is suffering” because he was born into a wealthy and powerful family. From a young age, he enjoyed luxury and always obtained what he desired. However, when his family suddenly faced a crisis, and he lost everything, he began to experience the truth of Buddha’s words, “life is suffering.”

   Therefore, when receiving information from any source, we should avoid rushing to judgment or immediate acceptance. Preconceived judgments may be incorrect, leading to the rejection of truth, just as instant acceptance, driven by our desires, may not always align with reality.

   For instance, when making a purchase and receiving an invoice, whether the amount is accurate or not, intentional or unintentional, it is essential to verify it independently.

   In life, trust exists in relationships between individuals, but trust is not a replacement for truth. When the truth is present, trust becomes a thing of the past.

   For instance: Imagine you needed 5 million dong for medical treatment, and a friend promised to lend you this amount by 4 pm tomorrow. From the moment your friend made the promise until 4 pm tomorrow, you can believe in their promise, but it is not yet the truth. Only when your friend hands you 5 million dong does the truth come into existence, and your belief becomes a past event.

   Similarly, using the example above, Jesus Christ promised humanity that whoever believed in His teachings would attain the Kingdom of Heaven. From the moment we receive this promise until we can reach the Kingdom of Heaven, we can have faith and practice, but it is not the truth yet. It is only when we actually attain the Kingdom of Heaven that the truth exists. When the truth exists, faith is no longer necessary. This relates to the quote, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Jesus Christ’s message suggests that believing in something not seen by the naked eye is not blind or dull-witted; rather, it refers to believing in what we become aware of internally. In contrast, believing without internal awareness, relying solely on external appearances, is considered blind and dull-witted.

   However, what is not visible to the naked eye does not mean it lacks truth. Both what we can see and what we cannot see contain elements of truth. In the secular world, people tend to believe only when they can perceive the truth through their five senses. Spiritual seekers, on the other hand, believe and perceive truth through inner consciousness. In the spiritual realm, there are many truths that cannot be perceived with the naked eye but are accessible through inner consciousness.

   Science enthusiasts seek to prove what they have seen, while spiritual seekers seek to prove what they cannot see. This is why many humans tend to have more faith in science than in spirituality. However, those who pursue and understand spirituality often see it as complementary to science. When scientists begin to explore the spiritual realm within the framework of scientific inquiry, our world may achieve an advanced level of spiritual technology.

   In reality, not everything can be perceived by human beings’ five senses and still be considered the truth.

   • For instance: Consider a situation where a wealthy family’s only son falls in love with a girl from an average family. The parents vehemently reject the relationship, believing the girl is only interested in their son’s wealth. The son disagrees, thinking the girl genuinely cares for him and is not motivated by his money. This conflict escalates, leading the son to move out and live independently. Throughout this period, the girl continues to care for the son without complaint.

   To prove their point, the parents decide to test the girl’s love for their son. They sell their luxurious villa, rent a small house, and claim bankruptcy with debts. Additionally, they hire a handsome man to pretend to be rich and aggressively pursue the girl. After three months, the girl leaves the genuinely wealthy son and follows the pretended rich man.

   This simple example illustrates that what can be seen, heard, and felt is not always the truth. No one can definitively tell you where the truth lies. We cannot ask others for the truth; instead, we must seek it within ourselves. Truth does not always come from external sources that we can see or hear; it can also be found within our inner conscious awareness.

   While we can believe in various things, faith should be grounded in conscious awareness. We should not blindly believe in something, someone’s words, or promises without an awareness of their truth. Belief may be derived from words, promises, or formulas, but if we lack awareness of their truth, such beliefs become blind and fanatical, regardless of their origin. Belief based on ethical principles and truth is a valid belief. In contrast, believing in someone solely based on fate, without a genuine ethical judgment, constitutes blind belief.

   • For instance: Consider a situation where a man proclaims himself to be the embodiment of Buddha or the Primordial Spirit of God. Many people follow and believe in him, depending on and worshipping him. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that their teachings are not based on a foundation of truth. They may speak of superstitious matters, use threatening language, and discuss punishment and rewards to control the spirits and bind the ideological thoughts of their followers. In contrast, a person without high education, degrees, or social status, who is not religious and does not claim to be a master or guru, may offer simple and truthful words.

   Ultimately, the decision of whom to trust and follow lies within each individual. To answer this question, individuals must become self-aware, operate their consciousness, discern between light and darkness, and distinguish between truth and falsehood. To discover the truth, you need to separate yourself from the crowd and avoid being influenced by group dynamics. It is in solitude that the truth will reveal itself.

   Many people have faced bankruptcy due to such beliefs. Others have lost both love and money, experiencing suffering due to these beliefs. Many have even suffered mental distress due to their unwavering belief in ghosts, souls, saints, and shamans. Throughout world history, numerous events have been considered true and widely accepted, only to be proven untrue in reality.

   • For instance: In the past, most people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and the Sun orbited the Earth. It was only when astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus discovered that the Earth orbits the Sun that this long-held belief was overturned.

   During that time, Nicolaus Copernicus’s heliocentric model represented one perspective, not a universal truth. Truth only emerges when each individual attains full awareness. The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is an undeniable scientific fact.

   Similarly, many people today accept Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution as it explains human origins. Others hold beliefs about divine rewards or punishments based on human behavior. Whether these beliefs are true or not, we must examine them from within ourselves. Distinguishing between outdated, false knowledge and new, true knowledge is crucial. Our beliefs can’t be illuminated without the contrast of outdated knowledge in this new era.

   Complete awareness of problems is essential for forming beliefs; these are known as cognitive core beliefs. However, we shouldn’t always demand proof before believing. If humans always demanded proof, especially in matters of the spiritual world, we’d never access any truth. Faith is the starting point of truth; it’s the foundation for humans to find truth and reality. This principle applies to all aspects of life, including success, wealth, and power. Trust serves as a bridge between dreams and reality, between passion and success.

   Fact and truth are distinct but interconnected. Truth is the means of expressing, presenting, and conveying facts through words, scriptures, and books. An event, whether a noble act or a crime, Heaven or Hell, God or any entity, is not truth but a fact. Only when people use language to convey the nature of events based on a factual foundation do facts become truths. Speaking of expression and conveyance, we discuss past events, making truth about the past. In contrast, facts encompass past, present, and future events. Gurus are masters of truth, and their words hold greater truth due to their full awakening. Truth can originate from intangible or invisible sources, existing everywhere, but it can only exist within human conscious perception.

   The concept of God differs from words and images associated with God or divinity. Language cannot fully convey the truth about God; its limitations are evident. Language, a tool provided by God to humans, is imperfect for describing the nature of truth. The nature of fact isn’t subject to anyone’s opinion, regardless of its wisdom. True mastery of truth should be found within our own experiences. Truth exists in conscious awareness, not just in the beliefs of the soul. Similarly, Earth’s rotation around the Sun isn’t solely a human belief; it is a universal truth, even though most of us lack the opportunity to observe it from outer space.

   It’s important to recognize that the teachings of God, Buddha, or any gurus may not always convey absolute truth. In previous eras, their words may not have included the complete truth due to humanity’s limited knowledge. Their works help us fulfill our own missions.

   Even during the era of spiritual enlightenment, messages from angels to humans through lightworkers may not always be entirely true. The degree of truth in these messages and the potential concealment or turbulence involved can be unclear. This isn’t necessarily due to God’s or the Masters’ intentions but reflects humanity’s level of knowledge during the message’s reception. Divine messages often pose high-quality questions but may lack explicit explanations. They are rooted in truth, but only those who can answer them find them true. Concealment and challenges are not negative; they represent opportunities for human evolution.

   All the truth offered by God, Buddha, and gurus to humanity is not a perfect wheel but material. From this material, each of us must craft our own perfect wheel of life, reflecting our character and preferences. As J. Krishnamurti said, “Truth is a pathless land.” Many avoid seeking their own truth and prefer consuming the truth offered by others. This approach won’t lead to a deeper awareness of oneself or truth.

   To discern what is true and what is not, one must be genuinely interested in pursuing passions and inner consciousness. Passion is the source of energy for success. Someone with a burning passion, even without innate talent, often achieves more success than a talented individual lacking passion. Talent alone doesn’t guarantee success; it’s just one component of the machinery of success.

   Your truth resides within yourself, not in others. The truth of all souls in the universe is the truth of God.

   In reality, some people avoid and reject the truth, especially spiritual truth. Accepting spiritual truth may require relinquishing material possessions, fame, and wealth, leading some to deny the truth or consider heaven an illusion. However, these material possessions are themselves illusory in the grand scheme of the secular world. In the unconditioned era, clinging to misguided, dark, and negative thoughts won’t allow long-term ownership of anything.

   In the new era, each of us must consciously affirm and have confidence in our abilities. Relying on any religion or external dependency can obstruct spiritual growth, stifle creativity, curtail freedom, and hinder the pursuit of truth. As J. Krishnamurti noted, the first and last freedom is independence.

   Each of us walks a unique path in life, and we should have the freedom to shape our own identities. It’s essential not to be overly concerned with the opinions and actions of others. We are only responsible for our own thoughts and actions, not for what others think or do. If we believe our actions are ethical and truthful, we should not be overly preoccupied with the opinions and criticisms of others.

   The ego-self is created through one’s consciousness and actions. No one else can think, act, or help create your ego-self. Relying on others or external forces can lead to losing oneself. Whether your soul is free or not depends on your own choices.

   The ego-self is a simple self that helps us become better integrated into the collective whole, rather than a self in isolation. If we do not cultivate our ego-self, it may dissolve instead of harmonizing within the collective. Without an ego-self, we become like sugar dissolving in water, losing our distinct identity. It’s important to be true to ourselves rather than trying to become someone else. Every individual, including you and me, contributes to the collective. God, in this context, represents the collective formed by all individuals and accumulated existence. The collective is constantly changing, influenced by the contributions of each individual. Thus, we must continually and eternally create our ego-self. Each person’s ego-self is like a brick, a foundation, and a member, indispensable for constructing the perfect collective.

   Creating the ego-self is reminiscent of the teachings of Jesus Christ in the parables of the talents (Luke 19:12-27) and the bags of gold (Matthew 25:14-30). These parables emphasize that humans come to Earth to gain experiences and develop their ego-selves, not to escape or seek safety. Everything, both good and bad, is part of the ego-self. Right or wrong, all experiences belong to our ego-selves. Creating the ego-self doesn’t mean seeking only good and compassionate experiences; it involves embracing all aspects of light and darkness. Each person on Earth can create their own ego-self through their actions, regardless of the quantity; what matters is each soul’s ability. It’s crucial not to be passive or seek refuge but to actively engage in life’s challenges. Just as in a battle, everyone has a role to play, and victory is achieved through collective effort. If you hide and wait for victory without participating, you won’t share in the glory. Each person should walk their unique path; there is no predefined path for anyone. As J. Krishnamurti said, “Truth is a pathless land.”

   Living for oneself and loving oneself is equivalent to loving others. This concept may be challenging to understand fully. When you give to others or share with them, it may appear that you lose something. However, this should not lead to stinginess or selfishness. If you act in such a manner, it doesn’t mean you’re wrong or a bad person, but it does indicate a lack of self-love.

   In nature, there is no inherent right or wrong, good or bad. The same action, such as killing someone with a gun, can have different moral implications depending on the context. For instance, a soldier killing an enemy in battle may be seen as a hero, while a criminal using a gun to commit robbery is condemned. Although both actions involve taking a life, the nature of the actions and their purposes differ. Therefore, one action may be considered good, and the other bad, even though the nature of killing remains the same.

   In our secular world, people constantly evaluate whether actions are good or bad, right or wrong based on the context and situation. The existence of darkness and cruelty gives value to light and goodness. Without darkness, the value of light would not exist. Understanding the value of cruelty allows us to appreciate kindness.

   In the universe, there is more darkness than light, and in life, there is often more cruelty than goodness. Deeply understanding the nature of darkness and cruelty leads to a greater respect for light and goodness. A selfish lifestyle can only benefit us when we are the unique beings in the universe.

   Fortunately, we are not alone; we have connections to God, our ancestors, relatives, and fellow beings in the universe. This means that being selfish, stingy, or hoarding for oneself is not in our best interest. According to the concept of karma, when we help others and share with them, we receive back sevenfold. When we love and respect others genuinely, we receive love and sincere respect in return, often more than sevenfold. Nowadays, this reciprocity often occurs in our present lives rather than just in the afterlife.

   Selfish, self-centered, and short-term gain-oriented lifestyles are not sustainable in the long run. You may have them today, but not necessarily tomorrow, and often, the outcome is not entirely within your control. This idea is reflected in the New Testament, Matthew-Chapter 13, verse 12: “For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.”

   This concept helps explain why we observe in real life that the rich tend to get richer while the poor often become poorer. People cannot escape their destinies, regardless of their talents. In reality, everything we experience is a result of our previous actions, although we may not recognize it in the present.

   God does not hide anything from our past lives. When you love yourself, you are also loving others; when you give to others, you are giving to yourself, even though the returns may not always be sevenfold.

   For example, if you have a special meal after a trip and share it with your neighbors, or if you invite them to gatherings and show genuine respect, you will receive not only material things but also the intangible gifts of love and respect. These are things money cannot buy. Furthermore, you gain happiness, a peaceful soul, and a sense of security in your living environment.

   Some may argue that this is unrealistic, citing their lack of money and time to help others. However, their excuses for their situations are often the very reasons they lack money and time. Karma operates with fairness; you receive what you give. Selfishness and evil actions result in corresponding negative karma, both in the past and the present. Conversely, those who consistently share and help others with true love tend to receive what they desire.

   However, actions driven by love for others but not for oneself are not always positive. For example, a mother who neglects her own health and well-being to buy a motorcycle for her son may unwittingly lead him into tragedy. If she had loved herself as well, she might have made different choices and taught her son the value of hard work and responsibility. Self-love is not selfishness; it is a prerequisite for effectively loving and caring for others.

   Similarly, not knowing how to love oneself can lead to unfortunate situations. For instance, a mother who doesn’t prioritize her own nutrition during pregnancy may struggle to provide for her child’s needs later on. Loving oneself before loving others is crucial because it enables us to better care for those we cherish.

   In times of tragedy and loss, it’s common to blame circumstances, but it’s important to recognize that many circumstances are the result of our own past actions in this life or previous lives. Running away from these circumstances is not the solution; instead, we should face reality and use these experiences as opportunities to eliminate what we don’t truly want in our lives.

   Actions driven by love are not guaranteed to bring positive outcomes; they must also be conscious actions based on love. Unconscious actions, even if motivated by love, can lead to mistakes and negative consequences.

   For example, consider a wealthy family with a father in a high-status position in the city and a mother with a successful business. They have four children, three daughters, and one son. The son is spoiled and indulged by his parents and sisters. He can have anything he desires, including money, cars, and his own house. As a result, he lacks motivation to study and instead engages in reckless behavior, such as drinking excessively. Even when he gets into trouble, his parents bail him out with money. This pattern continues until one night when, under the influence of alcohol, he kills someone with a knife. Tragically, the victim turns out to be the son of his father’s boss. Despite his parents’ wealth and influence, they cannot save him from a life sentence.

   In this case, it’s evident that the parents and sisters genuinely love the son, but their love lacks a higher level of consciousness, leading to blind love that ultimately results in disaster.

   Actions that are beneficial to oneself but harm others are considered selfish, greedy, and driven by ambition. Such actions are universally recognized as negative.

   Actions that benefit oneself and many others but harm a few are also seen as negative. For example, robbing the rich to help the poor may seem positive on the surface, but it cannot excuse or justify causing harm to others. Any excuses or justifications for such actions ultimately reveal the underlying desires, ambition, selfishness, and lack of consciousness.

   Actions that bring benefits to some but harm others are not actions stemming from consciousness and love. They are driven by selfishness, desire, and ambition on a larger scale, which can lead to conflicts and wars.

   For instance, consider a densely populated country experiencing resource depletion due to its development. In an attempt to secure more resources, the authorities invade the territories of smaller neighboring countries. These actions prioritize the ambitions of certain groups over the nation’s development and interests. Any justifications put forth for these actions only reveal the authorities’ desires, ambitions, selfishness, and deceit to the world.

   Japan’s history in the 1930s and 1940s is an example of such behavior. Japan allied with Germany and Italy to wage war in pursuit of global dominance, but they ultimately failed. After World War II, Japan was left without more resources and in a state of exhaustion. However, not long after, Japan experienced tremendous prosperity, not because of the resources gained from war, but due to its stability, peace, and the collective will and wisdom of its people. Resources, population size, war, or plunder from other countries are not the determining factors for development.

   Another example is Singapore, a nation with a small population, no significant army, and a lack of natural resources, including freshwater. Despite these challenges, Singapore became a developed and prosperous country with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. This achievement was primarily the result of stability, peace, and the wisdom of its people.

   War may benefit certain groups, but it does not represent the desires of the entire nation’s citizens. Leaders who deceive and manipulate their nations into war, death, and suffering do not act in the best interests of their people. Peace is the foundation of prosperity, and prosperity leads to happiness. War and plundering other nations do not benefit the nation but result in the opposite.

   Additionally, the death penalty, as a substitute for life imprisonment, may appear to protect society and serve as a deterrent. However, it reflects a lack of compassion, tolerance, and humanity. Implementing the death penalty signifies a failure in social criminal management and suggests economic weakness. It does not demonstrate the strength of the rule of law, nor does it effectively prevent others from committing crimes or provide educational benefits for societal awareness. Instead, the death penalty fosters insensitivity, diminishes tolerance, forgiveness, and generosity among society’s members.

   In the present era of peace, actions that are negative will not yield positive outcomes. God has not allowed large-scale negative actions to occur. God does not demand or request anything from humans. He has no expectations for human beings. In this moment, humans should be aware and act in alignment with positive trends. Every second, express and behave with genuine love from open hearts. However, during the process of creating positive actions, it’s essential not to have excessive expectations, as expectations can lead to desires. Instead, focus on how far you can progress in your thoughts and actions, without waiting for specific outcomes. Expectations from your actions are exchanged for positive experiences.

   Expecting too much from your actions can lead to impatience and hasty decisions, often resulting in failure. Positive results are like the growth of a tree; they require time, care, and nurturing. If you expect too much from the outcome, it may lead to disappointment. Results from positive thoughts and actions are similar to tending to a growing tree. Everything must follow its natural course. To achieve positive outcomes, focus on thinking and acting positively, and avoid excessive expectations.

   In our earthly lives, God does not require us to reach perfection in exchange for salvation. His divine plan is vast, and His love for humans is boundless. He does not need to use “carrots and sticks” to guide human beings. God operates in omniscient ways, while humans operate in a more worldly manner. To attain perfection, we must be edited and calibrated by divine forces. True perfection is reached when we return with our divine identity, fully awakened and aware.

   During this time, all thoughts and actions are simply positive experiences, consistent with the capacity of human beings in a state of unawareness. Positive experiences are a necessary part of spiritual enlightenment, but they cannot be forced. However, a fundamental question arises: What specific actions should humans take to experience positivity? In truth, this question is essential for each of us on our journey toward greater integration. While it may seem challenging, the answer is, in fact, quite straightforward, as it lies in embracing a simple truth. The greatest challenge doesn’t lie in finding the answer to this question; rather, it arises from the consequences of that answer, as it leads to further, more complex questions. The real difficulty emerges when we question whether we genuinely desire to seek the truth for ourselves.

   People will discover positive experiences when they delve deeply into spiritual matters and commit to living with truth in every moment. It’s through this commitment that they will come to understand the true meaning of positive experiences.

   Living authentically with oneself means being true to your own nature without the need for concealment or hiding. Not living in alignment with your true self results from self-interest, fear, the desire to please others, low self-esteem, and a lack of confidence. In such cases, individuals try to live their lives to please others, avoiding conflict and concealing their true feelings. While this lifestyle may bring temporary safety, peace, and benefits, it can be harmful in the long term. When you hide your true feelings, you may achieve immediate benefits by pleasing others and meeting their objectives, but you don’t seek to change anything within yourself. You fear change, even if it involves eliminating negative or harmful habits. This fear and reluctance to change can have unforeseen consequences on the evolutionary path of those who live out of alignment with their true nature.

   Living honestly and authentically means expressing yourself without fear. It involves being open about your emotions, whether happy, sad, loving, or even experiencing hatred. It’s about self-confidence and not concealing any emotion that arises from your authentic self. Initially, this way of life may bring challenges and result in the loss of immediate benefits. However, it is through these challenges and difficult experiences that individuals grow, adapt, and ultimately benefit themselves and their communities. Changing doesn’t mean concealing; instead, it signifies recognizing that change is necessary for personal growth and well-being. It’s about acknowledging that the negative habits within can be transformed through conscious awareness. This shift in consciousness and awakening is a personal choice, not something imposed by external forces.

   Therefore, it’s important not to set unrealistic expectations for self-perfection. In your current state of 3D and 4D consciousness, you may not fully understand what perfection truly means. Thus, striving for perfection can be an illusion. True perfection is not achieved through personal ambition; it is a result of acting out of genuine love, compassion, and mercy, without expecting rewards or outcomes in return. Voluntary actions, motivated by love and morality, bring joy and happiness to the soul without the need for external validation. Ultimately, these actions, driven by love from the heart, lead to a divine destiny and the realization of a heavenly kingdom. In addition to this sense of enlightenment, individuals can live and work normally without the need for specific practices or rituals. Many traditional practices, sects, and rituals are part of an outdated paradigm.

   To truly progress, one must break free from past limitations and confront new challenges with an open mind and a clean slate. As J. Krishnamurti wisely noted, “What one has to do to meet new challenges is to completely untie oneself, to completely wipe oneself from past platforms and meet the new challenges again.”

   Now is the time for us to live in happiness, free from sadness, in peace rather than instability, and to embrace positivity while shunning negativity. While we are still on the path of secular experiences and may not be happy all the time, our thoughts and perspectives play a crucial role in our lives. Thinking positively and looking forward to the beauty of tomorrow is the best way to dispel worries and troubles. It’s important to understand that what we think often becomes our reality. When we think positively, we send messages to the universe and make requests of God. Worrying and fretting over future events, most of which never come to pass, is a waste of energy. These worries are typically products of our conscious planning. To lead a happy and fulfilling life, we should aim to complete each day with happiness. Leave tomorrow’s problems for tomorrow, and avoid unnecessary concern and anticipation.

   In this era, it’s essential for human beings to be aware of happiness, purity, love, empathy, compassion, charity, tolerance, generosity, humility, forgiveness, sharing, warmth, honesty, and to always be grateful for the gifts life has bestowed upon us. These attributes represent a part of “Đạo” (the way) and “Đức” (virtue), a part of consciousness and soul, and a part of wisdom and love. However, we only need to act consciously enough to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. Indeed, “What morality accomplishes is freedom.” With awareness of moral consciousness, our souls will find complete liberation.

   God, the first and last Holy Divine Consciousness, the first and last one

THE END
