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'm professor Duck-Joo Lee.
We are almost end of this course,
we have only one lecture left except this class.
Time really past fast.
How was your day today?
Were you happy?
I have told you over and over
that the sole purpose of our lives is to be happy.
However, that simply has not been our reality so far.
I think now finding the everlasting
happiness should be our life purpose.
Last time I told that schools begin to adopt the meditation for students.
Meditation has been introduced as a way of the personality education.
And a students can self-reflect their past and
to find their own solutions of dealing with present
trouble that weighing on their mind.
If students can make a habit of doing meditation in their daily lives,
they certainly can enjoy their school years to the utmost.
Well then, what about after they become members of a society?
In South Korea, there are diverse meditation programs
are available such as a form of lifelong education for
adults and also for employees in companies and
the government offices.
I'm not so sure how well do you know Korean companies, but
a lot of companies are participating
in this meditation programs such as Samsung,
Yuhan-Kimberly, SK Telecom,
Seoul Office of Education,
Ministry of Public Administration and Security,
and Fire service academy.
For example with the subjectof ��Happy meditation for
self-examination and self-management ��,
120 employees of Yuhan?Kimberly didself-reflection meditation.
After the meditation,all the employees said this.
��It was nice to know the method for subtracting the negative minds��
��I became to know the pictures of a memories in my
mind that were not real and by discarding it.
I was able to find the true mind. ��
�� I felt my head becomes clear, The meditation
helped me relieve my worries and stress��.
��Everything is within my mind and that was the problem.
I found out how everything which I felt and
thought were all self-centered.��
��Through the universe mind, happiness is achieved.
After discarding the mind, life feels new.��
��When I thought of work at home, I became stressed.
However, now I can discard those minds straight away when
they come using the subtraction method I learned today.��
Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation
which has been in charge of Cadastral surveying and
providing national geospatial data since 1938 in Korea.
needed self-reflection meditation.
The corporation's 27 managers carried
out the self-reflection meditation.
We visited them and asked about their backgrounds in and
starting the meditation and it's effect.
I will show you through this photo clip.
[MUSIC]
As members of corporations and public enterprises,
and as the driving force of modern society
these people too, were relieving stress and
living happier days through the meditation.
They are able to relieve the stress,
coming from the work and able to live as a happier person.
Today, I would like to pay attention to the lives of firefighters.
Firefighters are the first onethat rush out to the fire site.
I remember that terrible that 911 attack.
The dangers of the disaster are always lurking.
At those times, fire fighters are always there to save lives.
But it is a mentally and physically challenging job,
Therefore , as a part of the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)program,
Korea's Gyunggi District Fire Service Academy
has been carrying out self-reflection meditation for
32 fire lieutenants of the Gyunggi district.
Many doctors and psychology specialists have been
researching ways to overcome PTSD.
But it's was difficult to find a way to treat the trauma itself.
The method that firefighters have finally found to be
the most effective was meditation.
In Korea, Korea's Gyunggi-Do Fire Service Academy
established a course for junior executives.
As you can see in the Fire Academy they
are doing the self-reflective meditation
in order to overcome the trauma.
I will introduce to you the story of a firefighter Jang-Hak Soo.
who overcome his trauma with his meditation and
is continuously working in the field since 2005.
The worst thing in this line of work is
the all kinds of terrible sights you have to face at the accident scene.
Memories and images I experienced during
incidents such as death from fall, car accident,
suicide, and fire are stamped on my mind and
haunted me every now and then, and
also appeared in my dreams to cause night terror.
Then I met the self-reflective meditation and
made the steady effort.
As a result, fear of moving out to the fire site was gone
and I got the sense of gratitude instead.
For being able to do what I do, for
being able to help others, and
for having my colleagues.
Best of all, I was free from all those horrible memories that haunted me.
Now, even in the situations that I would normally want to evade,
I deal with the incident with a calm attitude.
Firefighters and the police officers naturally suffer from the PTSD
more than other jobs, and
that means they might badly in need of the meditation.
As you shake off that burden of mind,
and subtract baggage of memories which
have been weighing you down forever,
you can finally live everyday as a new day with peaceful mind.
I just took an example from a firefighter.
But don't we all have a small or big trauma of our own?
That is what's causing the stress.
As each member of our society we can free from their stress and
that the society we are living in will get brighter in no time.
Now, let us start the subtraction
Now close your eyes please.
Time passed really fast.
10 years from now.
20 years from now have passed.
Now 50 years, 100 years and the two.
Hundred years have past. For those who can
imagine, one thousand years have passed .
I'm dead.
Acknowledge that your dead and accept it in your mind.
I am dead and become a spirit now and
goes up into the universe.
There's a big deeper behind me and the huge, blackhole in front of me.
A blackhole sucks on everything near it including planets.
The small Earth that I lived in is also sucked in
Just like it cleans floating garbage in the space,
it will clean whatever I recall in my mind.
You're going to discard your life at the Earth and memories.
Today, we will continue doing what you did yesterday.
discarding things related to worries.
Recall all the moment s that made you felt anxious from when you're young.
Sometimes it was about the stress from studying and your grade.
You were anxious about not getting into the college you wanted,
not getting the job you prepared for, or
the marriage. Discard the image of yourself worrying.
about unknown future into the black hole.
You might have worried about when you are old and weak.
Seeing older people made you worry about
your own future when get old.
Recall those insecure and
anxious thoughts and then discard them as well.
Everyday I had moments when my continuous worries did not end.
Recall and throw it into the black hole one by one.
As soon as you throw it into the black hole it immediately disappears.
You will repeat these things one more time.
Recall those moments, that made you felt anxious from when you were young.

.
Seeing older people made you worry about your own future when you get old.
Recall those insecure and anxious of thoughts.
And discard them as well.
Every day I had a moment when my continuous worries did not end.
Recall and throw it into the black hole, one by one.
As soon as you throw it into the black
hole it immediately disappears.
Let's just stop here today.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Everything you have recalled so far actually disappeared
into the black hole.
Now, open your eyes.
After the lecture, I hope you take some time of your
own to look back on your life on your own.
I guess some of you could have hard time following.
And for those I recommend repeated practice.
Repetition is always very effective
Now, we are trying to change our life that is
incomplete due to the pictures into completion.
A little bit of patience is required.
Today, we continued on last class topic and
the practiced twice repeating it.
Do you feel anything different?
In week four and five, we have practiced self-reflection repeatedly.
Likewise, subtraction should be done through repetition.
Fire fighter Jang-Hak Soo also said he made a steady and
persistent effort to discard the strong pictures of intense accident memories.
What I'm trying to say is that some pictures are gone with one try,
but some memories you need dozens of times of repeated discarding.
So please don't get disappointed by they don't disappear in one try,
and they pop up again after the discarding.
The continuously recalled pictures are intense memory
that means that much to you or something.
you took one scene in your mind and dwell on them over and
over again making bunch of other copies.
Once you discard the image, it is gone for sure.
Just so many copies are still left and that's all.
When keep discarding one day you will realize that you
have no recalling memories anymore, then
the past memories do no affect your current life.
It is important to exercise with the right method with patience.
Does it make sense to you?
Ask any questions if you don't understand.
I will see you next time,
next class is last lecture of this course.
Thank you.
