If the previous work was an introductory book showing the path to complete freedom, this book can be said to be a practical book that shows specifically how to be free in all kinds of situations that we encounter in life. Many people visited the author's homepage called 'Kim Ki-tae's Rereading the Scriptures' and asked various questions about the mind and emotions, human relationships and life in the world, psychological problems, the true self and the truth. The answers are as diverse as the questions, but at the center of the author's message is self-love and specific ways to love oneself. It is said that when we completely accept and love ourselves, we can be completely free and meet the spring of life that will never make us thirsty. This book was published under a revised title after revising the contents of 'Asking About Life and Answering Freedom' published in 2007. A preface was added to each chapter, and some content was added and rewritten. How would a person who has opened his eyes to the truth answer all kinds of problems that we encounter in life? Long ago, in the city of Gordium in Asia Minor, there was a chariot that King Gordius had tied tightly to a pillar of a temple. It was so intricately tied that no one could untie it. Alexander, who arrived at this city during his expedition to Asia, saw this knot and cut it with a single stroke of his sword. Life is like a lifelong learning school, and as we live, we are bound to encounter all sorts of problems. Some problems can be solved without much effort, but some problems are like the Gordian knot, and no matter how hard we try, they cannot be untied. When it is difficult to solve on your own, it is a good idea to ask for help from an expert. You may even receive Alexander’s sword as a gift, which can cut the knot in one go. Many people visited the author’s homepage, ‘Kim Ki-tae’s Rereading of the Scriptures,’ and asked questions about problems they encountered in life that they could not solve on their own. They hate their friends, they don’t know what they want, their relationships are uncomfortable, they are angry because of their spouse, they feel empty, they don’t know how to live, they are afraid of death… Among the answers to numerous questions, this book is a compilation of 70 Q&As. There are many books in this format, but the reason this book is different and unique is because it is the answer of a person who has opened his eyes to the ultimate truth. The author also went through a difficult time with mental problems before realizing the truth, and he said that he made every effort to solve these problems. Then, when he finally opened his eyes, he was liberated from the problems of the mind, gained deep insight into the mind that caused all kinds of problems, and discovered a simple way to escape the prison of the mind and enjoy complete freedom. That is why his answers are simple, clear, and powerful. There are words that come from deep insight. “Our lives are not painful, hard, and suffering because of that, but because of the mind that constantly resists such things and tries to become a different person at every moment. Therefore, if only that one mind can be released, we can be at peace as we are now.” “When there is a ‘me’ that wants something, it does not give even a little of what it wants, but when that ‘me’ disappears, it is heaven that gives it in abundance. Because there is no 'I', freedom without any fear of having to protect or defend will finally come.” The way back to the lost paradise, you must go in the opposite direction. The author's message is full of revolutionary things that overturn common sense, and one of them is that he talks about the 'opposite way'. He says that in order to return to the lost paradise, to exist freely and peacefully even in a crowded world, you must go in the opposite direction. You must do the opposite of what we have done so far. For example, to the question, 'How can I control my mind?', he answers, "Don't try
