Human Nature

The essential quality of human nature is honesty — "Honesty is the essential nature of human beings; dullness is the essential nature of objects; cunning is the essential nature of animals; transcendence is the essential nature of Buddhas." This definition positions human nature precisely within the cosmic spectrum of attributes, rather than reducing it to a moral slogan. According to the principle of cosmic holography, every individual simultaneously carries all eight attributes — divine nature, demonic nature, Buddha nature, immortal nature, human nature, animal nature, material nature, and empty nature — and which attribute is activated depends entirely on the environment one inhabits. This is why human nature is inherently unpredictable. The core values of human nature are Truth, Goodness, and Beauty: Truth is the source of all artistic forms; Goodness is the mechanism that maintains cosmic order and harmony; Beauty is the harmonious proportionality of all forms. The proportion of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty within a person's nature directly determines whether their LIFE trajectory moves toward the higher realms — from ordinary mortal to sage to Immortal. Perfect human nature requires eight conditions: reverence for the Greatest Creator, freedom from the drive to win and fight, love of nature, modesty and honesty, compassion, equanimity in all circumstances, living according to natural law, and love of LIFE and labor. "The only pass to higher LIFE spaces is perfect human nature."
