Book Review

It’s amazing. For me who used to only analyze the world, this book has become my hope; the life philosophy I had held could be changed a lot or entirely. This is wonderful since my perspectives on life had become tragic and boring. It is becoming a huge hope. But I am not understanding fully when reading it once or twice; sometimes I have to read a page or two for two days. Maybe it’s because I am a perfectionist. It’s great to read for my own hope and I am thankful for this book which is already worth the investment of about 10 dollars price.

I wanted to live well. So I wanted to have all of money, love, prestige, and power. But this only added more suffering and burden. The author stated that human beings want to possess and achieve, but there is nothing that are accomplished with attachments. If one wants to accomplish, one must eliminate all of human mind; as one discards more and more, Truth will enter and one will know Truth and all of the world will be accomplished. I now understand; what is accomplished is only accomplished in the true world and nothing is accomplished in the false world. I am thankful to the author and I wished that many people would escape the attachments.

Despite my longing to attend a Catholic church, my mother-in-law forced me to attend a protestant church. I tried to listen and live as were told in sermons, but I did not know what was mind and what was thankfulness. I ended up with illness from high stress levels and overwork. The doctors of Eastern and Western medicines, recommended “let go of everything” ? what is this? I had never been sick before. After reading “the Mind,”I started to understand a bit of words from the Bible and I also want to live without any mind. I realized that I see, think and judge everything, people and the world, in my own view. I was unable to live with the nature’s flow, even though the Universe is never-changing…..this book made me want to throw away the mind.

I read while not moving for 3 hours. It was a shock; if this text was right, I can end my long-time wandering. I was always questioning why do I live, where do I come from, where do I go, and what is the right way to live. My inside always was futility itself, even though I was active in my own way through religion, and meditation. It was always a dilemma about how to direct my children as a parent; I was ashamed to tell them, “since others lived this way, you also should,” when even I did not know the way. In outwardly appearances, I seemed to be upright and okay, but it was hard since it felt like a mask. Even though I was often praying and doing charity work, there always were enemies and barriers with people who did not fit my ways of thinking.Gradually, I was more and more exhausted at myself who weren’t able to live as told by the Bible. Then, I read this book coincidentally. Before, we were told to throw away and release without any explanations as to “why?” In this book, there is an explanation.It was very simple and concise; it was realistically written without extraneous embellishments. If this is true, wow!! And it is unbelievable that the solution as well as the causes were very simply and clearly explained. Could my long-awaited questions be solved so simply?

I hadn’t read many religious or philosophical books, but noticing a pretty cover page, I picked up the book. Initially, the words such as human mind, God, creation and eternal world were unfamiliar and difficult. But despite the unfamiliarity, the book very easily spoke about the origin of the world, human, God, Universe, creation, etc. As anyone would have, I also had questions about the reason and purpose of living. But the first part of the book very clearly explained this. It also explained simply about Truth which was spoken about in Buddhism, Christianity and other religions; this helped me to understand the world of Truth mentioned by religions. Personally, I was having a difficult time in my life and I was much inspired by the message that human beings live in the false world and that through meditation, they can live forever in the true world. Just reading this book puts my mind at ease.

For a long time, I thought about what is the true happiness. Sadness and hardship seemed reality but joyful happiness seemed transient like bubble. I found this book on Amazon.com. It was within the ranking of 100 bestsellers with the title, “Heaven’s Formula for saving the World.” With interest, I started to read. The paragraphs were short and concise with interesting illustrations, which I felt comfortable with while reading. And after reading this book, I understood why I worked so hard for happiness and how the happiness earned were transient. I understood what was the true happiness as a result. And that happiness could be forever!! I was really surprised. I understood why I was whimsical in my mind; feeling good, then stressed out. And knowing that the true mind exists beyond my mind was a very refreshing shock. I would like to recommend this book to anyone who feels futile about life.

The content is about the true and false in this world. The author states that human mind is false and made of pictures, and therefore human beings are incomplete; Truth is the world which is complete. I agree with the idea that human beings’ minds are incomplete and continue to add due to inadequacy; but I could not readily understand that I, a human being, was false. The author repeatedly explains why human beings are false and states a method to become Truth. A hopeful message is given; become the bon-ba-dak, the Universe mind, to live forever happily by eliminating all of the human mind. As the author states, I truly want to throw out the false human mind and live as the infinite Universe mind.
