In the book, Jeong Myeong Seok was described as a person who has gained a deep understanding of the mysterious and profound wonders and creations of God in the world. He realized God’s principle of creation; the nature of creation is the same as the nature of human beings. In the same vein, God created human beings in His image and likeness – the nature of human beings is the same as the nature of God. In this way, he provided a clear and easy way to understand the connection between Heaven and Earth, a human being’s physical and spiritual side.
Ten of his poems were included in this book, such as ‘Narrow Mind,’ ‘Life,’ ‘Our Love,’ ‘Movement of the Cloud,’ ‘Never-changing Heart,’ and ‘Hope’.
