The way to become a person and habit by living by teacher william this passage is called the education begins with the recovery of mankind’s original nature since long ago scholars have attempted to study the original nature some have said that the qi or energy of the universe is one while others have said it is too when they say that she is one they are talking about.
Existence of the one universe when they say it is two they’re talking about yin and yang the body and mind of the universe which are separate yet one at the same time although their words may sound different they speak of the same thing that this existence is the original nature.
That this existence is the origin of the universe christianity says that to know God is the basis of wisdom the original nature is what christians call God originally there is one God the sole God and though there are both the holy father and holy ghost they are all one in Buddhism there is dharmakaya the mind of Buddha and sambhogakaya the body of Buddha.
Though they are two they are also one all such things refer to the place of the creator to truth to the origin and to the master of all creation returning to this existence is the basis of knowledge and wisdom because there is wisdom it is thus wisdom itself.
The basis of knowledge the education of man is to return to this existence it is generally understood that a well-rounded complete education includes the learning of knowledge virtue physical ability and the arts however the true meaning of being complete is to be a perfect person which means to live forever the existence that never dies is truth nature and the master of all creation.
To become this existence is to become a complete person a perfect being this means that one must get rid of his knowledge conceptions and behavior and be reborn as the body and mind of the original perfect existence today’s education is designed only for living a better worldly life but when humans come to know the origin and live as the original mind then.
All of mankind will become one we will know how to be thankful to our country to the world we will no longer have whimsical minds but trust each other have confidence in each other all the time and have better lives but in order to do this everyone must recover their original mind then their minds will be one for which there will be no thieves or crime.
Everyone will live for each other in other words an education that allows us to do the above is truly a well-rounded education for human completion when there is no concept of your country and my country all become one and this is our kingdom but when humans live only for one’s own riches fame.
Power there is nothing to have or gain nothing remains when everybody recovers their humanity which is their original nature they will live diligently because everyone’s minds are one and thus are not whimsical or sly whether or not we live well is all in our minds therefore when people are of their original nature.
Are not saturated with false materiality that is to say when they are not in the material world they do not feel discontent or in wanting instead they will live doing their best as they have the wisdom of knowing the law of cause and effect they will also be better off financially because they know that they will have results according to the efforts they make recovering ones original.
Nature is the only way to have a better life through the wisdom gained have a harmonious and comfortable social life earn more money and be blessed without the original nature one has a false mind and lives as a slave to that mind he does not know how to adapt to the world and just insists that the world not fit his perspective his mind is negative.
Does not have truth so for him living is difficult the original nature is the never dying world when one recovers his original nature knows the reason and purpose as to why he came to this world and becomes and lives with the original nature then he will no longer pursue a good life for his body for himself.
Live for others wouldn’t this be heaven on earth a place where everyone can live well for there is no separation between you and I and everyone is me such a place would be our kingdom where we may all live well together only after recovering ones original nature through what is the complete education should people be educated in knowledge for their respective fields of endeavors right now.
