Meditation: A way to achieve your goals in your life

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, I am Professor Duck-Joo Lee.

Much to our regret, today is the last lecture.

Today, we are going to have the time to summarize our course.

Do you remember the words from Nobel Museum

discussed during the first lecture of the week?

This was spoken by Edward Young, a British poet from 300 years ago.

Born originals, how comes it to pass, that we die copies?

Why are we born as originals only to copy the world and die as copies?

I'd gone to Nobel Museum in Stockholm for travel during my visit to

Royal Institute of Technology in 2011 and

when I saw these words, I was so surprised.

How did Edward, who did not know what subtract using

self-reflection meditation, knew this notion.

This was also an opportunity to confirm once again about this meditation.

It confirmed for me that I can find answers to

where did I come from and where am I going?

Which was an unsolvable problem in the concern for the humanity,

regardless of Western or Eastern philosophies.

This question will be solved when the copies were all

thrown away and one had returned to the origin.

And living with the original universe mind is the human completion itself.

Hasn't the answer to this question gotten much clearer by now?

Due to the subtraction method, we are able to return to the origin.

If you have also tried the self-reflection and the subtraction method,

this work would have been understood much deeply and would have touched you.

As soon as we are born, we copy the world by taking pictures

through eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and body.

And we had been living within the copied world.

Because those pictures we took overlap the real world exactly,

we are deluded that we are living in the real world.

I had compared this to a movie.

As you were continuing to reflect on your life,

you'd have agreed to this word.

I am the star, the producer and audience of this one movie.

If someone was wearing red-colored glasses, and

they claim that the whole world is all red, what would you do?

You would say, take off the colored glasses and see the real world.

To live in the real world, one must sufficiently self-reflect

to see what kind of colored glasses he wore to

live in his own world and subtract it.

The true happiness can be found when one eliminate and

throw away the gap between the true world and the false world, and

the gap between the wished self and the current self.

Therefore, subtraction method is important.

You'd say that a method which can be done by anyone about anything and

get you results consistently throughout the passage

of time would be a truly excellent method.

The Wright brothers were able to fly in 1903

because they had the will to fly, and the principles,

and the method to accomplish this and they put them to action.

Afterwards, the aviation technology has vastly advanced and

military airplanes, commercial airlines and

the space rocket are flying the skies.

But, even now, in NASA, the aviation principles and

the method of the Wright brothers are still used.

Now it is time for our mind to fly freely.

That could be because the clear method has arrived

to self-reflect in order to live in the real world.

Can you imagine it?

Each individual, one by one, come to be without their own

picture world without stress and become happy.

Followed by each society, nation and the all the world becoming happy.

In this kind of world, how could there be any fights,

battles, or wars.

As we discussed during the first week of lecture,

a constitution by UNESCO which was established 70

years ago to achieve the peaceful world wished by

many stated thusly.

Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is the minds of

men that defenses of peace must be constructed.

Isn't this truly correct?

It is because people construct the world and they live with their minds.

If my mind was full of anger and conflict, it would be displayed.

And if my mind was full of peace and happinesses,

then this would be also revealed to the world.

Because the world peace is reached by all of us,

the attention on meditation seems to be growing more worldwide.

In 2013 The Academic Society for

Human Completion in Korea sponsored the first

International Conference for Human Completion

with the theme of happiness, ask the mind.

Educators gathered to speak about the human completion.

On this day, Mr. Dong-seok Min, the Secretary-General

of UNESCO Korea, came to offer a congratulatory address.

And he paid close attention to the result of researchers'

studies on meditation and world peace.

We said our goal is world peace.

Its starting point is within one's mind.

Has it gotten clear now about the meaning of UNESCO constitution?

Now would be the time for a peaceful living.

How was your day today?

Was it peaceful and happy?

I have said many times that we are born to live happily.

But it is a harsh reality that we couldn't be always happy.

Now, finding that will change happiness should be our proposal of life.

The title of this lecture is Meditation: A way to achieve your goals in your life

This is not just a theory.

I established this course to realize and put this into action.

This was possible because of the method,

through the self-reflection meditation's subtraction method.

Eliminate the false human mind taking pictures in self-centered way.

And anyone can achieve human completion via recovering

the infinite and pure universe mind of origin.

Now we must state the proposed end direction of human life.

We felt that we had lived in the false world, as we self-reflected.

But true world and the false world were overlapped.

So we did not know we lived in the false world.

This subtraction must be done while we are living.

When I become happy, this happiness

spread to the world like music and sound.

Then, this lecture will finish with the story of Ieko, who is a violinist.

[MUSIC]

I am truly thankful for people who help up to this point.

If you have any questions, I will always

help you to the best of my ability.

Thank you very much for your listening this course.
