해야 한다고 믿는 나 VS 하고 싶지 않은 나 ['The Me Who Believes I Must Do It' VS 'The Me Who Doesn't Want to Do It']

어떤 일을 해내겠다고, 해야만 한다고 긴 시간 동안 이야기하면서도 여전히 하지 않는 일이 많지요. 그럴 때 먼저 알아주어야 하는 것은 해야만 하는 당위가 아니라 ‘하고 싶지 않은 나’의 마음(각인된 정서)입니다. 많은 이들이, 사람은 동기 부여를 통해 성장한다고 믿지만 ‘하고 싶지 않은 나’가 움직이지 않는 한 아무 일도 일어나지 않습니다. ‘하고 싶지 않은 나’를 있는 그대로 수용해 줄 때만 경험의 질적 변화가 일어납니다. 물론 그 변화라는 것이 ‘하고 싶어 하지 않았던 일’이 ‘하고 싶어지는 일’로 반드시 변하는 것도 아닙니다. '하고 싶어 하지 않은 일’이 실제로 ‘하고 싶지 않았다’는 깔끔한 결론에 이르게 될 수도 있겠지요. 그럼, 이제 더 이상 그 일에 매여서 시간 쓰고 돈 쓰고 하는 일이 사라..

Purification is about tending to my world. [정화는, 내 세상을 돌보는 일입니다.]

Until we can give love without a resentful heart [미워하는 마음 없이 사랑을 줄 수 있을 때까지]

On my way out of the house today, I briefly turned back in front of the front door and thought, "This might be a home I can never return to," and I came out with my hands clasped together. Our life is always in the "Here and Now." By cutting off the bridge to return, letting go of memories and judgments about the past, and expectations about the future, we arrive at the clear truth that we exist..

When we find someone we love, [사랑하는 사람이 생기면]

When we find someone we love, most everyday stresses disappear. Even if someone steps on our foot as they pass by, or someone accidentally bumps into us, we gain the flexibility to let it go. We develop a sense of consideration that momentarily holds the elevator doors for someone rushing to catch it. In the journey of self-improvement and spiritual evolution, it's not a difficult concept to und..

깨어나십시오! [Awaken!]

우리는 생각을 현실이라 여기고 살면서 눈앞에 보이는 진짜 현실을 왜곡할 때가 많습니다. 진짜 눈앞은 안전한데, 사고가 일어날지 모른다는 불길 한 생각에 끊임없는 불안을 느끼기도 하고 앞 사람이 잠시 나와 눈 마주친 것을, 째려보고 무시당했다는 생각에 분노를 느끼기도 합니다. 꿈에서도 절벽 위에 서면 오금이 저리고 극강의 공포감을 느끼지요. 뇌는 가상과 현실을 구분하지 못합니다. 꿈에서의 절벽과 일상에서의 내 생각은 가상 현실이라는 점에서 본질적으로 같습니다. “깨어나십시오. 깨어나면 내가 그것을 마음대로 하지만 깨어나지 못하면 그것들이 나를 마음대로 합니다.” _앤소니 드 멜로 생각은 생각으로 명료하게 알아차리고 현실은 현실로 인식할 수 있어야 합니다. 생각에서 생각으로 이어진 연속체를 ‘시나리오’라고 ..

"When you wake up, Don't go back to sleep." [잠에서 깨거든 다시 잠들려 마라.]

"When you wake up, Don't go back to sleep." Bub-jeong_ Korean Monk In the midst of a busy life, there are rare moments when we experience the clarity of the present moment. Though these moments may be brief, they are undeniable. There is a need to be cautious of slipping back into sleep, which means entering familiar thoughts and emotions. Thoughts and emotions can become habitual and addictive,..

Be a person who has become, not who will become. [‘될’ 사람이 아니라 ‘된’ 사람으로.]

Be a wise person, not just someone who will be wise. Be a successful person, not just someone who will succeed. Be a happy person, not just someone who will be happy. Be a healthy person, not just someone who will be healthy. Be a satisfied person, not just someone who will be satisfied. Do you feel any resistance? Is there any information within me that wants to persistently hold on to the deci..

Starting from the first state. [첫 자리에서 시작하기]

Life is like a game of 'assigning meaning'. Therefore, It is absolutely crucial to stand in the first state, referred to as the absolute ‘Zero base’, ‘Here and Now’. Stripping away the name, stripping away gender, stripping away race, and even the beliefs accumulated by civilization, and the values of ethics and morality that have long been upheld, the first state is a space where everything is ..

Let go of the handle of the closed door. [닫힌 문의 손잡이를 놓아주자]

Our lives are sustained by breath. There is inhalation, and there is exhalation. When one door closes, another door opens, and when that one closes, another door opens. Just like the rhythm of breathing, life exists within a vast cycle of countless doors opening and closing. When you feel suffocated and desperate, In moments when you can't take a single step, Take a deep breath. And look at whic..

Let's Keep Smiling - How About That? [웃상으로 살아보면 어때?]

My beloved friends, let's strive to maintain a smiling face throughout each day. I understand that it may not be easy to do so constantly, but it can significantly improve our mood compared to ordinary days. A smiling face has the ability to trick our brains into feeling good and happy, subsequently triggering the release of happy hormones. Even if you're not feeling happy at all, remember that ..

Dear. Life Gardeners [사랑하는 라이프가드너 여러분]

Yesterday, I hosted a group Zoom call to reflect on April and welcome May. During my time with Joyce, I had a moment where I saw the wings that wanted to spread deep within her. When enlightenment unfolds, it becomes firm and strong. A bird that can already fly cannot settle for a life inside a cage. So, we are starting the simplest and easiest service, which we will do for 100 days. It is indee..
