Meditation

Right now I am the Silent Master consciousness, and I can feel Its wholeness and completeness whenever I have a need.   I see myself growing.  My Silent Master consciousness is present now to help me find my right place and right purpose. Since I am one with the Life Force of the universe, I can feel Love and energy already within me moving me forward.  I am unique and individual, yet I am part of the whole. I can achieve my goals.  I share what I am, lovingly and givingly, because my unique part to play is necessary to complete the whole.  I am alone, yet I am alone with the entire manifest universe and every other individual.  Together we are each alone, and together we are all-one, and together we each fulfill our unique purpose in harmony and peace.

All One

Your true self feels whole and complete whether or not you are alone. The true meaning of alone is all-one.  When you are one with your true self, one with your own Silent Master consciousness, you are one with the universe, one with all that is.  When you feel your true Self, you feel at rest in the wholeness of things, but you also know you are original and unique.  Although you feel yourself as a separate, special individuality, you do not feel empty and unfulfilled.  You feel true, and pure, and good and whole.  Most importantly, you feel enthusiastic, creative and joyful.  This is the natural state of your true being.

When you are really ready to find this aspect of your being and realize the fullness of your potential, you will begin the process of self-discovery.  I honor you.  I respect you.  This is why I’m sharing with you the teachings of Jung SuWon.  Although you and I can begin this journey together, it’s still going to be your journey.  I can share with you my experiences, my teachings, my hopes and expectations of your successful outcome, but it remains at all times your journey, your commitment, your perseverance, your goal – and your prize!

Newness of Life

This is the kind of newness and excitement and discovery you were born to experience.  Life is magic in that it unfolds every moment in a new way, darting off in a new unexpected direction, depending on your focus.   But life is also a science, which you can learn to operate and enjoy with exactness and understanding.

To be reborn into your true identity is an exhilarating goal.  The prize is worth the price of any effort.  

One of the comments I hear many times from the people I work with is that they feel alone, isolated, or separate.  If you feel alone and unfulfilled you undoubtedly are trying to be a copy of someone else, because your true Self feels whole and complete with or without the presence of another.  Or, perhaps you’re trying to find yourself in someone else, hiding behind their stronger personality instead of finding your own strong and unique Self.

Rebirth, more…

You will always be striving to look at yourself impartially, like a doctor examining a patient for the first time – studying the symptoms, trying to gain insight into the source of the trouble, and prescribing the appropriate cure.  Only by being willing to constantly look at your weaknesses can you constantly do something about them.  This becomes a way of living, and this process requires the inner power steps of Love and Loyalty: love of your real Self, and loyalty to your goals.  

Love and loyalty are important because when you actually start living your Silent Master consciousness, new challenges are guaranteed to arise to test your commitment.  The higher the pole rises in the sun, the longer the shadow.  The greater your achievement, the greater the tests that come.  Some challenges at this stage may appear just as negative as certain experiences prior to the knowledge of your Silent Master.  But there will be a difference now, because you will know you are not a victim.  Now you will know your true Self is greater and more powerful than anything that threatens to take away your natural joy and freedom.

Rebirth

4) Rebirth

When you reach rebirth you have already committed to change your life for the better (readiness), you have done much work to purify your mind and body (energizing), you have set true goals for yourself (life examination), and now you put all of this into action as your new way of life.  Rebirth means actually living the new definition of yourself.  Now, instead of drifting along in life, acting and reacting with limited perception, you live with conscious awareness of your connection to your Silent Master consciousness.  You now become your own doctor and surgeon, carefully bringing your new self into the world by constantly removing the strangling, stifling thoughts and feelings of your old self.

Rebirth is not something that happens and then ends.  Rebirth is an ongoing process, a daily practice that goes on for your entire life.  This means that as you continue to move down your life’s path, you will constantly be made aware of changes you need to make, and will constantly be reborn as you make them.

Life Examination, continued…

Help is always available to you, but the help you need may not be easy to find where you are now.  Your environment and certain people in it may have to go, or be modified, in order for you to change.  If this is true for you, it’s important not to become desperate or to make premature moves without thinking things through clearly and thoroughly.  Not everyone who promises you help is able to give it.  This is where the tools of meditation, concentration and visualization (which we discuss in Chapter Three) can help you move wisely at the right time. 

Life examination is the part of the self-discovery process where you begin to redefine yourself.  After looking at how you may have missed the mark, you now mobilize your inner power to recreate your life.  All the bad experiences you’ve had can be used as feedback; they are the fertilizer that enables you to grow strong.  

Mistakes can be a good friend to us when we use them as feedback in a learning process.  As a Western society, we are terrified of failure.  We often feel that mistakes reveal fatal flaws in our character.  But when we make mistakes, it is a sure sign we are learning.  One of the ways we learn what’s right is by learning first what’s wrong.  As long as we are trying to grow productively and applying the lessons we learn, our mistakes will surely propel us to success.  Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, and most other great persons who achieved something significant, failed numerous times before succeeding.  They were learning before they succeeded, just as you will do.  So, through your successes and failures you eventually are guided to choose your path and control your destiny.

When you have thoroughly analyzed and evaluated your life and made the determination to become who you are in truth, you are ready for then next step, rebirth.

Life Examination

3) Life Examination

This is the third stage of self-discovery.  First, in the readiness stage, you made the commitment to change your life; second, in the energizing stage, you began the process of purifying and increasing your energy to ensure that you would create pure and true forms in your life; and now, in this third stage of life examination, you define and prioritize your specific goals so that you have a clear target on your individual path.  You take a hard look at your present priorities.  As you look at your life you’ll be asking, “What is the meaning of what I’ve created as my life?”  Or, “Have I been true to myself?  Am I where I want to be?  Do I know who I am?  Am I being who I am, or am I being who somebody else wants me to be?”

Only by looking closely at where you are can you evaluate the quality of your environment, motives, beliefs and attitudes.  You can’t change anything until you identify precisely what needs to be changed.  The conditions in your environment and the quality of your thinking have brought you to where you are now.  Do you like where you are?  If not, where did you compromise or sell out along the way?  How did you get off the track?  And why?  What forces did you respond to instead of listening to the quiet truthful knowing of your Silent Master consciousness?  Only by looking honestly at where you are now can you form a good plan to go somewhere else.  A careful evaluation will help you see where you detoured, help you determine where you want to go now and plan how you will get there.  That is, you will acquire new motives, ideas, and attitudes that will foster a new self-concept and most likely a new environment. As you look at your life, do not underestimate the power of the environment (job, relationships, family, etc.) you are presently in.  To what extent is your environment speaking to you more loudly than your own inner desires?  Is your environment promoting the awareness of your strengths or is it smothering you?  You cannot assume everyone you know, whether a perceived friend or foe, wants you to change in the ways you want to change.

Love Energizes You

This is how Love energizes you.  It gives you inner joy, enthusiasm and awareness that helps you carry out the work of meeting your goals.

Would you be surprised to know that you may be wasting your energy, spending it on things that undermine and sabotage your goals and desires?  You may have habits that weaken the quality of your energy on a regular basis.  Your energy is a creative tool!  It must not be wasted.

When I teach my students to break bricks with their bare feet or hands, I’m teaching them to control and direct their energy in a positive way.  Jung SuWon training does not teach only martial arts movements.  Since body and mind are one, this physical training helps students contact their own spiritual energy.  There is always a balance between the two.  You can’t have a pure body without a pure mind, and vice versa.  You may develop your mind but if you don’t take care of or develop your body it will have an effect on you.  When your body gets hurt, doesn’t that cloud your thoughts?  Likewise, if you only pay attention to developing your physical body and neglect your mental training you will be unable to deal with life situations.  Body and mind must always work together.

Your whole being – physical, mental and emotional – is an expression of energy.  To create, transform, or reshape your life, then, your energy must be pure and free.  And as you purify your energy, you move into the next stage of examining the content of your life.

Self Discovery

Certainly, one of the goals of self-discovery is to be able to enjoy this natural energy of Love and share it with everyone.  You may wonder why we often feel such a lack of energy if we are indeed one with the Life Force behind the whole universe.  The answer is that our own negative thoughts, attitudes, and emotions act like filters to keep this mighty river of energy down to a trickling stream.  One purpose of the Jung SuWon training I teach is to purify this filter – to purify your thinking and feeling – so that energy flows more freely and powerfully.

For example, one of the black belt instructors in my school told me how his teaching changed when he began to approach it with this natural Love.  Before he began to feel his spiritual energy increasing, his teaching consisted of making sure the students did every move correctly or learned at the proper rate.  This is part of being a good teacher, of course.  But when he began to feel more of the natural Love within him, his teaching went beyond this physical instruction. He listened and responded with more awareness and sensitivity to everyone’s special needs and unique feelings.  He not only desired to see the students learn the correct moves, but desired to help them defeat their weaknesses and shine with self-confidence and self-esteem.  He cared about every step of their growth with as much enthusiasm as his own growth.  In short, he began loving the students as well as teaching them, and it made his job more joyous and fulfilling than he’d ever known.
