The meaning given to memory, the present can change the past.

 The meaning given to memory, the present can change the past.



When we remember the past, we remember only a part of the past and forget the rest. But remembering or forgetting can be the same in terms of importance. Remembering doesn't mean it's important, and forgetting doesn't mean it's unimportant. It's like we're not conscious of everything around us right now.

​


When categorizing past experiences, memory selects some and plausibly assembles them and excludes others. These selections and exclusions are made arbitrarily without objective criteria. It is neither comprehensive nor objective.


They don't know enough about their experiences or memories, they don't know enough about them.


We are living creatures. It is subjective. Interest is yourself.


How far do memories hold the past?


Where exactly is the boundary between events and memories?



What is objective truth?


There is no way to find out the objective truth when it comes to memory. When it comes to memory, there is no such thing as objective truth in the first place.


Memory has no objective observer. There is no exact story, no complete story. There is no such thing, and there cannot be. As always, there are only partial explanations and fragmentary views. Still, there are better explanations and perspectives.


Memories are not simply reliving the past. Memories do not bring back the objective past.


Memory is a tool.


Memory is the guide of the past that guides us into the future.


If you can remember that something bad has happened in the past and you can think of the reason, to be careful not to let it happen again, that's the purpose of memory.


The reason we should remember the past is not for 'accurate records', but to prepare for the future.


Through the process of changing the paradigm of memory and subjectively and actively re-editing the ambiguous boundaries between events and memories, even the difficult and difficult past can become a meaningful past that is essential for oneself.


Through the act of giving meaning to my world, the present can change the past, and the future can change the present.

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...
