The meaning of life in chaos and order.

The meaning of life in chaos and order.

​

We live in a world of order. The world of order is surrounded by chaos.


We occupy a known realm, and that realm is surrounded by the unknown.


You can find meaning in life when you stand on the border between the two worlds of chaos and order.


From an evolutionary point of view, we are not adapted to a material world, but to a world of meaning composed of chaos and order, yin and yang. This is because the environment and chaos in which living things live are constantly created by chaos and order.


Standing on the border of two fundamentally different worlds requires a balance.


One foot must stand in the world of order and safety, and the other foot in the world of possibility, growth and adventure.


One day, when life suddenly takes on a new meaning, or when you are immersed in something without knowing the passage of time, you are standing in the middle of the boundary between chaos and order. It is the response of the instinctive ego, the deepest inner voice. This feeling means expanding the habitable and productive space while maintaining the stability of the personal, social and natural space we are currently in.


We have to be right there.


It is an issue that cannot be neglected in order to live a better life.



Everything that can happen in life is an interaction of chaos and order. So these two are fundamental components of life.


The fundamental conditions of reality, chaos and order, apply equally to all living beings, not just humans.


Most living creatures live in familiar and controllable places, but there are always objects and situations that threaten them.


​


Order alone is not enough. Circumstances are constantly changing, and we cannot pursue only safety and peace, as we often encounter threatening situations that we have never experienced before.


​


It has to change depending on the situation.


Chaos can sometimes bring about unmanageable change.


It is impossible to hold on to a situation that exceeds the threshold before adapting to a new situation. So, one foot must be on land that we already know, understand and control, and the other foot on land we are not familiar with and to know through exploration. This will give you a safe place to stay alert while keeping your life threats under control. It is a place where there are new opportunities for us to meet new things to master and better ourselves.


A place where you can find meaning in life.

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. 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...
