About 'Be faithful in your will.'


​


This chapter is the part that Joo-hee stuck to until the very end, repeatedly revising the crystals throughout her life.


That is why the part about growth is very important.


According to Joo-hee, 'I am wary of deceiving people, but if we look at the fundamentals, it is said that after there is a state of exerting energy on geukmulji, the reason becomes clear and the mind becomes consistent and manifests itself naturally. Otherwise, it is said that even if correct thoughts sprout, wrong intentions will follow, and it is said that it is impossible to control them with effort.


 Mr Yo divided this chapter into three parts and said:


Refrain from being alone for the first time,


I dealt with how to make the will sincere,


In the middle, it is a warning that the will of a small person is not sincere,


The last one is to follow the efficacy of sincerity.


​

To be faithful in one's will is not to deceive oneself. To hate evil as if to dislike bad smells, to love good as if to a pretty woman. Therefore, a gentleman must always act prudently when alone.


​


When he is leisurely, he does evil without hesitation, but when he sees a gentleman, he hides his imperfections and reveals his goodness as if nothing had ever happened. But people are looking into it, so what good will that help!


This is truly said to be 'what is in the heart is revealed outward'. Therefore, a gentleman must always act prudently, even when alone (out of sight of others).


​


He said, 'How frightening it is that Zhuangzi has eyes everywhere to watch over him and his hands on all sides to point at him.'


​


Wealth can make one's house luxurious, and virtue can enrich one's body. The wider the mind, the more relaxed the body. Therefore, a gentleman must be sincere in his will.

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...
