Question: On December 3rd, 2024, President Yoon Suk-Yeol of Korea shocked the people by declaring a state of emergency martial law. What kind of old mindset does the president of Yoon Suk-Yeol and the ruling party have? But supporters believe an election rigged by the opposition party and a pro-North Korean left are responsible for the emergency martial law. What kind of spiritual beings are the president and the first lady? Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the opposition party, is the most likely candidate for the next presidential election. The leader Lee Jae-myung has problems such as judicial risk and delay in trial. But supporters believe that Lee’s judicial risks are fabricated. What kind of spiritual beings is the leader Lee Jae-myung? Is there any politician in Korea that can be tuned in with the ascended masters?

Well, this situation is, we might say, a necessary step in the ongoing growth of Korea as a democratic nation. Because what it shows is the need to transcend the current level, where you have these divisions. This is not unique to Korea, you can of course see it in the United States and even other democratic nations. But the first question you need to ask yourself: Is it reasonable that the president has the power to declare martial law without getting the approval from somewhere, some kind of constitutional council, or whatever institution you can create? In other words, is it necessary to reform the Constitution of Korea in order to prevent this from happening in the future?
Because obviously, you have a history with martial law in Korea, that is very uncomfortable for many people. And therefore, you need to see this as an opportunity to step up to a higher level, where you place reasonable constraints on the president’s ability to declare martial law. It can still be reasonable to give the president that power if Korea is attacked. But this clearly was not the case here. The whole situation that this was brought about by North Korean sympathizers and the opposition, this is a fabrication. There really was no genuine reason to declare martial law. It was simply an attempt of the president to take greater powers and maintain power.
Yes, President Yoon Suk-Yeol is a fallen being, not in the league of Hitler, Putin, Stalin, and so forth. But still, not the kind of leader you want in Korea. In terms of the opposition candidate, Lee Myung, he is not a fallen being. But this is not to say that he is necessarily an ideal candidate.
There is really a need for Korea to step up to a higher level, where you can attract more balanced candidates. What there is a need for is balance. And we have talked about this in other dictations given in Korea. There really is a need for you also to overcome the old mindset. I understand this is difficult because you still have North Korea as an armed enemy right next to you. But still, South Korea is the nation who can transcend the old dualistic, black and white mindset. North Korea cannot, but you can. And therefore, by transcending it, you will bring forth better leaders, and you will also minimize the risk of a confrontation with the North.
The situation in South Korea is not that different from what you see in many other nations, where there is a, we might say, clearer division than has been seen in previous years and decades. It is not that the division was not there, but it was not as clearly pronounced between, for example, right and left or conservatives and more liberal. You see that in many, even some of the older democratic nations of Europe, where you have the populists or the right wings that are gaining popularity. This is just part of the transition phase, where democracies need to put behind them, the black and white thinking, the quest for simple solutions, where somebody, whether it is a strong man or somebody who has a party or ideology, can solve all problems very easily. There are no easy solutions to society’s problems, because they require the participation of the people. Really, the challenge for all democracies is, will the people step up and engage, instead of always projecting that it is this politician’s fault, or that politician’s fault, or that this politician will save us, or that politician will save us. It is not a uniquely Korean problem. It is simply part of the transition into the golden age, where democracies need to accelerate to a view that limits the powers of the leaders and creates more engagement from the people, more, as we have talked about before, direct involvement with the people in various ways.
