3) THE METHOD FOR PERFECTING THE PERSONALITY

[You said that we should build our personality through mind and body unity. Please tell us what is the greatest problem in doing this.]

When you are in a high position, there is no way of uniting the mind and body, so you must be stepped on. God has trampled on me for forty years lest I get above myself. As you are trodden, that which wants to go up gets smashed and brought back to unity. Do you understand this? (Yes.) You should be cursed, trampled on, and mistreated, just like the vagrant Bamboo Hat Kim. Through this, you should discover the self that can take all these tribulations gratefully.

Common people think that the mind and body can be united when they are living comfortably in a good place. but that is the way to hell. Jesus said that the one who seeks to lose his life will gain it. It is the opposite.

Through this ironical logic, the one who tries to live will die. Jesus said that your family members are enemies and that you should love him more than anyone else. This means that you should go into the most opposite place in the world. (144-257)
