The Unknown World

      This world in which we live and breathe is the material world, the world of substance; it is the first world, and when people die, the world of spirit, that is, the unknown world, is where they become individuals of the second world. Because this unknown world is a world which is invisible to the eyes, which is unfathomable, and is no different than nothing, it is not to be believed with only a quick explanation or a group of words arranged on a piece of paper. Actually though, as the spiritual world is not nothing and is a firm reality, it should appear as phenomena in some form of another. Yes, in all human affairs, ancient and modern, east or west, the spiritual world has been expressed, whether in great, intermediate, or small levels, in all sorts of aspects. The only issue is that human beings have not been able to sense this phenomena. The education of existing culture has not been concerned with spirit which was because it was the world of night. The darkness of night was illuminated only by the reflection of the light of the moon, and the noon light of the sun was bright and clear to all only in moments. Gradually in the near future, the unknown world will become a knowable world, and the world of moonlight will become the sunlight world, that is, the world of bright, divine light. As a result, all secrets, falsehoods, and fallacies will be exposed to the broad daylight. This is the sense in which to begin this process, it is I who have discovered the fallacies of medical science.
