The question is "Why did the eyebrows come into being?" It indicates that Heaven and the human world of earth world are one but that there is this gap. (94-63) What in the world are the thick eyebrows doing there in the face? Indignantly we ask, why are they there? Hairy pine-eating caterpillar! And there are even two instead of one. Look, look at them. Disgusting! Aren't they? Reflecting deeply, they say to themselves, "Luckily, we got fastened." You know they are in a good mood. Does our face look good without these eyebrows? The communists make excuses saying, "We become that way as we make ourselves adjusted to the circumstance." But it is not right. The problem is why these are placed here. Would we need these eyebrows if we crawled with four feet? The brows came into existence because they are needed by man who walks upright on two feet. Had there been fur on the face of man, he would not have needed eyebrows. Since animals crawl, they do not need eyebrows, but they have traces there. But man definitely needs eyebrows, for he walks upright. If man had not had eyebrows he would have had a hard time when he was in sweat. When man sweats, water runs down from man's forehead and passes the eyebrows which lead the sweat to either side of the eyes, preventing the water from running into the eyes. That the sites of the eyebrows were raised up a bit is all related to this purpose. The places where the eyebrows are placed are raised slightly. It is good for men to have these areas of the eyebrows raised a little bit. But for women it is better to have these areas lightly lowered. The eyebrow areas are raised slightly and form the ridges well. Certainly, they are placed at the most auspicious place of all auspicious places. Why are they created this way? The fact that man walks upright is known a priori. What if man was to walk upside down? Then the eyebrows would be placed under the eyes. Wouldn't they? Indeed, the eyebrows are placed well in the proper place. Ideal eyebrows must stand out. If the eyebrows were concave and sweat stagnated rubbish would gather there. If that were the case the eyes would have been without exception trash-gathering places. Would you sell your elaborate eyebrows for some millions of dollars? You will be deformed without eyebrows. Then, why do eyes blink occasionally? If the winking stops, the eyes undoubtedly become trash boxes. Eyes blink when they are dry. When the eyes are exposed to dry air they become dry due to evaporation of water from the eyes. So blinking is like wetting the dry eyes with a wet cloth. Do you see that there are some whiskers hanging at the very edges of the eyelids? Do you know why? They have a double purpose: one is to warn eyes of coming intruders, such as dust, and the other is to protect the eyes from dust, debris, and so on. These radar-like instruments are found nowhere else on the body. Eyes are not created concave and not collapsible. The eyebrows are placed uni-directionally. They are slightly raised. The reason they are is for safety and for preventing water from running down. The eyebrows are placed uni-directionally and both outer ends are sagged slightly to prevent sweat running into the eyes. God, who knew that sweat runs down into the eyes and that it would harm the eyes if dust and debris got into them, set the boundaries with the eyebrows and placed them just above the eyes. Sweat pricks the eyes. It is hard to bear. If sweat and water come to the raised places above eyes it cannot help slipping down. The eyelids have grooves. The tears run down sideways through the hollows. The safety is there. If one of us had planned them, it would have taken well over thousands and tens of thousands of years. In summing up all of these things, the eyes are really well made. (39-163, 38-248, 38-155, 37-17) The eyes have knowledge. They knew that there is air on earth. Hence, they needed the eyebrows. They knew everything: knew that on earth there is radiation and heat evaporating water. Therefore, there are the eyelids to wet the eyes as they blink and to prevent dust coming into the eyes. They knew everything a priori. They were not made by throwing dice. (187-58) A long time ago, when I was in Japan I had friends. Among them a good many were communists. I used to gather them together and instruct them saying, "Look you rascals, what shape does an eye have? Why does an eye blink? Otherwise, your eyes become trash. It proves that the eyes knew there is dust in the air. And do you know why eyelashes are fastened to the eyelids? They form a grid and protect the eyes from dust, debris and so on. Are they created by chance?" I had demonstrated the very existence of God among them. So they hated me. In this way I trained myself solving the world's problems. Every time you look into a mirror, watch your face carefully. As you look at the eyelids, they blink. Some thousands of times a day they do. If they stopped blinking a single day, what would your eyes be like? The blinking cleans your eyes. It is really a peculiar phenomenon. They were born prepared for this circumstance. (38-215)
