Section 4. The Gate of the Kingdom of Heaven and Entering the Kingdom of Heaven

1. The Door to a Man's Heart

While the Buddha was in an esoteric state he said he was the only person who exists in all of heaven and earth. When someone is training himself to achieve the unity of mind and body, he can experience the divine spirit world. During that time, he stands in a totally objective position before God who is the subject. So we can say he is the only person who exists in all of heaven and earth. Once I felt that I was grasping the world tightly in my hand and it seemed to melt. If I wanted to lift it, I felt it was lifting. In that state, if you hit something, at the same time you will feel everything is melting. When you reach this level, miracles can happen automatically. The miraculous curing of diseases is a natural result of religious life.

That is why you have to cultivate the quality and direction of your heart. To be able to cultivate the quality of heart and pioneer the standard of the direction of heart, you have to find God who is the subject. How can you make the connection to God who protects you? To totally concentrate your mind, you have to start from your mind. That is the only way. If you brighten your mind you can surely find the direction in yourself.

Can you? It is like a magnet. Minus exists naturally where plus exists. Does it happen because somebody said to do so? It happens naturally. Then, whatever is in there you will feel it. Even though I am facing eastwards to pray, entering the divine state my direction can be changed. That will happen. Do you understand? That is why we can say the mind has a door.

Are you able to pray well sometimes? Everybody will understand this. Sometimes you can pray well. No matter how sincere you are and giving your whole heart and taking a bath before praying, sometimes you cannot pray well, and say, "Oh no." You have no control over when it happens. There is only one center. Based on the central point, North, South, East and West exist. Every location is different. Also every direction is different. When you go to the mountains, there are places where you can pray well. Also there are places where Satan is gathered. Those are the shady places. Spiritually shady places and sunny places are formed in this way. If you experience this many times, you will understand this.

When you receive hints, dreams, revelations and apocalyptic visions, you have to make effort to apply them to your life. Do not neglect them, because these phenomena are the inevitable essence for pioneering and developing the relationship between God and man. For your own life of faith, you have to open the door of your heart and develop the quality of heart within yourself. The day you achieve this is not the final goal; you should then apply this to the world you relate to. (76-143)
