Do we truly think that we have lived for ourselves? Perhaps we have lived for money, love, fame, family and pride etc.? Therefore, we don’t seem to be satisfied even though we are full of those things. It is because that we don’t know ourselves. Eric Fromm talked about human nature as two modes of being: “To Have” and “To Be”. If we are “Having” the nature of possessions, we are not satisfied, and feel empty and futile. Then, how can we be “Being” the nature of our inner-selves? Sometimes, we happened to be aware of this “Being” nature and try to change ourselves, but fail. But, because of our daily routines, it’s easily forgotten. And more it is hard to escape from our unwanted minds controlling us. From now on, let us reflect on ourselves and look at our minds leading up to today! Don’t we achieve our goals after knowing ourselves? And let us find the “Being” nature of our original selves after escaping from the minds restraining and controlling us. In this lecture, the definition and principle of the mind are explained in simple and clear ways. You can make sure and practice the methodology of finding the true original mind of inner-self by escaping from the false mind of possession. Self-reflection is the first step to meditate. You can know yourselves most objectively through meditation and you will realize that all the thoughts and actions are due to your minds which are nonexistent and false. If you throw away the false mind, you will find the true mind. Meditation is now world-wide sensation. There are many research reports that show people can be leaders if you have a habit of self-reflection through meditation. Now meditation at school and the workplace are popular. Happiness is having no worries. You can really relax yourself if there is no bundle of thoughts and you can be successful when you know yourself truly. Worries come from the memorized thoughts of the false mind. Your inner potential of positive power are revealed, your peaceful and happiest mind will be in your mind, and you can live the life you wanted through meditation. This method of meditation is very practical and everybody can follow the methodology. As an engineer, I will guide you step by step to practice this meditation. I am sure that this lecture becomes a turning point in your life.

Hello, this is Professor Duck-Joo Lee.

In the last lecture we reflected and discarded human relationships.

How was it?

There are good and bad relationships.

, as well as comfortable and uncomfortable ones.

Perhaps you feel communication, between people is difficult and problematic.

If so, there is a root cause of for

this, even though it cannot be seen by the eye.

Sound is a similar to this.

Let us assumed that sound wave spreads and meets on object.

Depending on the object, sound can either be bent or reflected.

Reflection can also differ depending on the hardness and

softness of the texture.

In forming new relationships, words are important.

We can reflect, distort, and

bend or just absorb and accept the words of the counterpart.

This would depend on the state of my mind.

In the third week, I mentioned that the philosophe, Ludwig Wittgenstein once said

��The word I speak is my identity.

The languages, is the state of my life.��

Reasons and the thoughts are expressed through language.

Therefore, if languages is analyzed, reasons and

thoughts can be correctly understood.

Also, he mentioned that wrong usage of the language and .

words are the course of the world, chaos.

The problem with the Philosophy arises

because we translate words from 3000 years ago as it is.

The real problem is that, words are not communicated properly in our daily life.

We each have a world that we individually have taken

which is a picture that we are living in.

Therefore, even if it's the same word,

people translate and understand it differently.

There would have been a time when I was hurt by someone's

words even though it was not their intention to.

This is because I have taken a picture of those words in this way.

If we examine how others react to my words and

how I react to their words I will come to know

my frame of concept and thoughts, as well as the state of my mind.

To communicate well without giving or

receiving hurt, those pictures must be discarded.

Now let us discard.

what is inside of me

Close your eyes.

Time has passed.

Ten years have passed.

20 years have passed

For those of you who are familiar with the method,

lets say 1,000 years have passed.

I'm dead.

It is okay to think that I'm still here.

One cannot be living when 1,000 years have passed.

If you accept in your mind that you are dead, you will be able to follow.

I have died and become a spirit.

I leave earth and go up into the universe.

I have come to where the Big Dipper is behind me.

And in front of me there is an enormous black hole.

As you all know, the black hole push pulls in the nearby celestial bodies.

Like a black hole powerfully draws in and

clean the rubbish, the things that comes up in my mind are being

powerfully sucked in, and disappeared in the black hole.

We will start discarding my life and remember the thought at Earth.

Today we will discuss everything related to words.

Please open your eyes.

Recall and discard your very first memory relating to words.

What was your first memory?

What word made you happy?

What word made your parents happy?

Recall and discard the time when you apologized to a friend.

How did you feel?

What were the most hurtful words you heard?

What did you hear in the situation when you are hurt the most?

Was there someone that was hurt because of the words you said?

Recall those times and discard.

If there was a time when misunderstanding formed because of a word.

Recall those times and discard into the black hole.

Recall and discard the times when you lied.

Why and what did you lie for?

Recall and discard the times when you were nervous

about someone finding out about the lie into the black hole.

As soon as you throw it into the black hole it completely disappears.

Was there a time when you ruin the atmosphere by telling a joke?

Discard the time when you said you were never

going to tell any more joke because you

were embarrassed and ashamed, into the black hole.

Well you're usually told that you were a good speaker?

Or were you told you were a poor speaker.

What is your least favorite word?

What words make you angry?

Discard the time when someone��s word of consolation hurt you more.

Discard this into the black hole.

Discard this too into the black hole. Times when you find found it difficult because of the word.

Other times when a single word made you happy.

Recall words that gave you strength and help

Recall and throw it into the black hole.

Has it disappeared?

If it has, please nod your head.

If there are particular words that you remember, recall those words,

and the moment, discard it into the black hole.

Do not go through the trouble of forcing yourself to recall.

Just peacefully discard the things you remember into the black hole.

The black hole sucks everything in.

We will stop here.

Close your eyes again just for a moment.

Those things that you recalled have all disappeared into the black hole.

Please open your eyes.

There will be people who feel that this has worked very well and

others who feel that nothing has disappeared.

If you maintain perseverance and do this,

repeat the number of the times every distressful thought will disappear.

The more a particular picture has affected me,

the more deeply it is engraved within my world.

It is certain that this will disappear.

if it is repeatedly discarded that amount of times.

Even now if you think of a apple and

give it to an elephant the apple disappears.

It is a very similar to this dish.

If this does not work well for you or

you wish to talk to a specialist, please do not hesitate to ask me.

I will help you the best I can.

Words are expression of my emotions.

It is an important way of communication.

However, as we have just reflected,

we take a picture of the word itself.

As I mentioned earlier humans are like cameras.

The eyes, nose, ears, mouth and

the body take a pictures and

we live inside the picture world.

Within this picture world are pictures of words.

Because of this picture we build higher walls in our mind and refuse to hear.

Perhaps you have the experienced a situation when you felt

that you connect and communicate more with the foreigners,

than someone from your country that speaks your language.

This is because you have not taken any pictures about the foreign language.

Therefore the foreigners intention and meaning can be understood better.

In other words just like sound waves spread

more if it does not come in contact with an object.

If in my mind the picture's wall disappears

communication would be a lot more easier.

Do you understand?

If you are curious about something please do not hesitate to ask me.

I will see you again in the next lecture.

Thank you.
