Humans who embody the history of the universe.

 Humans embody the history of the universe.

​


People today struggle to discover divinity, or truth, through supernatural powers or superior intellect. As Paul said in the Bible, Jews ask for miracles and Greeks ask for wisdom.


Even today, it is common to observe religious leaders who perform miraculous acts of exorcism, or, on the other hand, pay attention to the mouths of geniuses such as Hawking. Plato and other ancient Greeks tried to find divinity, or truth, in the perfect symmetry of a circle or regular polyhedron. To them, the beauty of perfection was the truth.


​


But the way I look in the mirror is not so beautiful. The left and right figures are not perfectly balanced, and the balance of the face and limbs is not ideal like Venus of Milo or David of Michelangelo. He doesn't have the intelligence of Hawking, nor does he have superpowers like the heroes of Marvel. Moreover, we are not immortal, we will grow old with time and someday we will return to dust.


However, modern science finds the truth in the ordinary human body. The cosmic history traced by the Big Bang cosmology shows that humans are also part of cosmic history. Humans do not suddenly fall from the sky or rise from the earth. Among the elements that make up our body's DNA, hydrogen existed in the universe through the Big Bang. In other words, our body remembers the moment of the Big Bang. All other elements were synthesized in the star and spread out in outer space, and the material again gave birth to a new star.


​


The iron that flows through our blood and the elements that make up our DNA were all created in the stars someday. Our bodies, made up of stellar dust, remember the process of star formation, star evolution, star death and supernova explosions. In the process, planets like the Earth were created, and the elements that make up the human body were prepared on the Earth. We were all in stars in the distant past.


After all, we are all engraved with a magnificent history of the entire universe through the Big Bang and the cycle of stars and matter. So, if you want to know about the stars in the sky, it wouldn't hurt to take some time to look at yourself in the mirror before looking at the sky. The self-reflected in the mirror is the embodiment of cosmic history.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
