SECTION 3. THE WAY OF A TRUE PERSON

1. THE WAY OF A MAN OF NOBLE CHARACTER

1) Who Is a Man of Noble character?

Who is a man of noble character? Is it someone who lives for the sake of eating? Or is it someone who has artistic or poetic talents so that he can fully appreciate the beauty of the world and whisper to the mountains and fields and sing to the flowing water? Who is closer to a man of original value? The one who lives for food is closer to an animal, and the one who can enjoy nature and who has rich poetic feelings is closer to an angel. There are two kinds of people: one is animalistic and the other idealistic. (85-143)

Who is called a man of noble character? He is one who can stand in the central position of society. When there is a man of noble character in the village, he can play the central role in the material and spiritual lives of the village people. Only through this can he be an object of respect. It is the same in the nation. A nation is also centering on a man of noble character as the representative. The actual organization is formed as the people make mutual relationships centering on him. Likewise, the world also requires a man of noble character as the center.

A man of noble character is little different from ordinary people in terms of external appearance, but he is very different from them in his thoughts and spirit. Therefore, what determines a man of noble character is not the external aspect but the internal one. We should discuss character and personality based on the spiritual side of man. In order to expand the spiritual area, we have to understand the world of the mind. The mind has the agility to expand infinitely. From this, we can see that human desire originates from the mind and not from the body. The mind is in endless operation, generating infinite desires. Our personality is not confined to a certain society, country, or world. Furthermore, it proceeds toward the highest absolute standard, which can transcend even the past, the present, and the future. Considering the propensity of the mind to reach out to the absolute, we can see that the world of the mind is connected to infinity. (29-125)

When we call someone a man of noble character, we are not referring to his appearance, education, career, or position. We call him a man of noble character based on his living in a principled way. External flamboyance does not make a man of noble character. A man of noble character is the one who lives according to God's Will, with an unchanging heart. (19-285)

The vertical and conscientious personality must be joined together with the horizontal and physical personality. The vertical personality should stand perpendicular to the horizontal line, and the physical personality should stand at a complete ninety-degree angle to the vertical line. Only then do all the angles always remain at ninety degrees to form a sphere. This way, if the central point is hit, then no matter how many lines you draw on it, all the forces affect the whole sphere, because the lines are drawn through the center. When this point is hit, then the whole will resonate. The whole will know. (176-138)

Does human personality have bones? Have you seen it-the bone of personality? \A personality means the image of a person. There is a visible aspect; however, there is a hidden base that is responsible for the visible aspect. You should know that the visible structure exists because of that base. (177-315)
