Human beings should conduct themselves on the basis of De (Virtue). Then things would be done according to the highest human principles, the heavenly principles, and the cosmic principles. Anyone who deeply studies the principles of De will become somebody who is above others. A king or a president who acts according to the principles of De will rule his kingdom or country well, so it will be a stable land.
I think that modern scientists are not really “scientists” per se. A genuine scientist is someone who sees or discovers something while he/she is assimilating with the cosmic principles, and then passes on it to the rest of the world. The new scientists-to-be in the future should be this way. The current scientists got distorted or warped in their approach.
If we look back in history, we realize that the ancient medical experts, physicists, and martial artists, as well as cultivators, were similarly in sync with the universe. The old and the new ways should be compared with each other. For a human to be united with heaven, one has to be first united with the natural principles.
If these conditions are met, it will be equivalent to applying supernormal abilities for the benefit of human society in a practical way. (Some fellow practitioners have commented that there might be inconsistency in my remarks. Actually, I think if we would try to understand the contexts of things vertically rather than horizontally, as an alternative way of thinking, then things may appear clearer to us.)
As to supernormal abilities, you can explain something only when you fully understand it. That is supernormal ability. Seeing [Not necessarily limited to imagery—Ed.] is knowing. If you don’t “see” it, how can you “get” it?
So, let’s utilize our supernormal abilities and wisdom to create something of value (and pass it on through Pure Insight) to the forth-coming Epoch!
