3) Primary standard of "true"

It is the "true" heart that does not change. This is why without it you can not make a true standard, you cannot make true judgment, you cannot have a root of content that can be certified by an absolute standard or by the core of the cosmos. If you do not have a standard that is not true, everything valued by that standard will be floated away.

A measurement, such as the meter, has its primary standard. We can calculate any deviation from that standard. We refer to that original standard whenever we need to settle some relevant argument. (186-66)

There is neither revolution nor change in love. Nothing that changes physically can be the most precious. Diamonds are treasured for their unchanging hardness. Gold is precious for its unchanging golden color. A pearl is precious for its unchanging harmonious elegant coloring. Why have we based the standard for the preciousness of treasures upon the unchangingness of an object? It is because that is the standard for evaluating everything.

What, then, in the cosmos is the fundamental standard for measuring the value of everything? This must be the question. Is it gold or diamonds? It is unchanging and unbreakable love. Love seems fragile, yet does not break. You may think you can handle it, yet you cannot. You belong to it. You will be evaluated by it; not the other way around.

When I asked what could be the ultimate primary standard of this cosmos, I found it was not some standard of measurement or some unchanging substance.

Man cannot change that standard. Even God cannot change it. What is the standard for absolute evaluation which transcends time, space, heaven and hell-which is eternally unchanging and has the greatest value of anything internal or external?

On earth there are zero standards for latitude and longitude. Zero longitude is located at the astronomical observatory in Greenwich, England. It is unchanging. Shouldn't there be a zero standard at a point where longitude and latitude meet at 90 degrees? If not, the world of order will not be realized.

What is the standard that every measurable eternal and unchanging thing wants to have as its standard, which even God can follow and which everything must obey? Is it money? Gold? Or a diamond? God can create all of those.

We can say that love, too, is created by God; however, He cannot possess love. Love must be owned by two persons. Even God cannot realize love alone. Accordingly, the fundamental standard for evaluating everything in the universe and in the eternal world is indeed love. Love is not affected by any seasonal changes. (137-235)

Each one of you knows that there are standards for measuring distance. If the standard measurement is 1 centimeter, that is the absolute model. Everyone can agree if their measurements are based on the standard. You may claim to be the best person, but if you do not fit the original form, you do not pass.

One centimeter is 10 millimeters. Therefore, 1 millimeter is also an absolute. If you have 10 millimeters it will be a centimeter. 100 of them make 10 centimeters, and so on. Thus, they all have a common and unified element.

What, then, is such a standard for human beings? To unite the world of human beings, there should be a form, a standard not containing any struggle between mind and body, to show how man should be. (128-78) Everyone, if we have a standard meter, it is no problem at all to have another meter or 100 meters or more. What then is the standard measurement of meters? It is 1 millimeter. It is because 1 millimeter is so small, that we usually use 1 centimeter.

Even astronomical units must be calculated based on 1 millimeter. We will be able to use it as a standard throughout the world only when all the millions of numeric measurements are calculated from 1 millimeter. 1 millimeter in America, 1 millimeter in Korea, and 1 millimeter in England, all must be same. There must be no differences. That's the truth.

Everyone, what is the truth? "It is true." What is "true?" Certainly something is true when there is no way to evaluate things without it. There must be a Doctor of Physics among you. To study physics you must know all motions of the natural world. Things do not move aimlessly.

Think about it. How big is this earth? There is not even a minute deviation in the time this huge earth takes to revolve around the sun every year. Not even a second of deviation. If there were a deviation, there would be a big problem. If there were, the question would be whether the deviation would become larger or smaller. If that happened, the oceans and the earth would split into pieces.

We evaluate the age of the earth to be 4.6 billion years. The earth's perfect performance of motions and operations throughout this 4.6 billion years must be connected to a standard centering on some unit. For our evaluation, there had to be some unit of measurement centering on some principle, formula or axiom. The same holds for determining "trueness." Trueness must be applicable to one thing and be equally applicable to a combination of millions of things.

We call pure gold 24 carat gold. 24 carat gold is "true" gold, isn't it? Is there 25 carat gold? Is there 26 carat gold? If so, there is a problem. From this perspective, the smallest unit stands in the center and establishes balance. When we look at the smallest unit, the vertical parallel line must correspond . . . . Otherwise, this is not "true".

The degrees of impurities of gold form a straight line until they reach 24 carats. Because all impure gold is in the realm of change, we can say that 24 carat gold is the "true" one. This holds whether you apply it perpendicularly or to a vertical standard. It will be parallel to both something universally vertical and something universally horizontal.

Neither movement nor fortune occurs randomly. That which causes the circular motion in a subject-object relationship centering on law is always vertical. If the vertical were to change anytime, things would fly away. They would be floated away. They would break. To have a foundation of existence by locating yourself within space, the vertical must have a firm position. This kind of words may be a little difficult for you.

What then is the standard for the measurement of us human beings? Human beings also should have some measurement, isn't it so? When you solve a mathematical problem based on a universally accepted mathematical standard, if you answer "One" the world will reply to you "One, you are right." Or, if you answer "Two" or "Three," the world will say, "You are right," repeating your numbers. When a resolution is founded on a global standard, we call it true.

What is inside the truth? There are always four directions inside the truth. Whenever there is a truth, there always is an environment. Then which is more original, the environment or the truth? This will be the question. The environment is more original.

What about the case of man? It is a problem to find what a true man is when we observe existing human beings. He should be the standard of both vertical and horizontal, someone of whom we can say, "He looks OK vertically and looks OK horizontally too."

Only when vertical and horizontal coincide will there be no deviation whether in front or back, right or left, or up or down. They will correspond perfectly. You will say, "It is true!" when there is correspondence in the East, in the West, in the North, in the South, on earth and in the spiritual world.

On the other hand, when you measure something big in millimeters and discover a deviation of even half a millimeter from your desired measurement, it is not perfect. It must be thrown away. Don't we need such a standard? We need a standard for measuring. (180-14)
