 Predictability, get away from modern calculations and realize yourself.

​

​


In the past, educational capital was exchanged for future economic capital.


It served as a basis for social capital, such as personal connections, and played a major role in determining cultural capital.


Studying was the fastest and most accurate way to rise in status, and education capital meant power.


​


It has become the tacit promise of society that educational capital will be exchanged for future economic, social and cultural capital, and the 'predictability' of believing that this promise will be fulfilled has arisen. This predictability is a decisive and important factor for a society to function as a society. Because people can know the consequences of their actions, they perceive the consequences as their responsibility, and society ascribes responsibility to the individual and is exempted from responsibility.


​


Just two or thirty years ago, this predictability was pretty good.


School, grades, and diplomas could predict an individual's future to some extent. People do calculations when they can predict the future like this. I calculate what effort and resources it takes to get the result I want, whether it is given to me now or not. Calculation, that is, rationality, which is the greatest characteristic of modern humans, can be said to be the child of predictability.

However, it is necessary to take a closer look at the true face of modern calculation wrapped in the name of growth and efforts for a better life.


Studying for advancement in status, and modern calculations for predictability, are actually based on negativity. In other words, modern rationality is not to seek certainty by adding desired experiences, but to approach certainty by subtracting failure cases.


​


Except for some students who discovered what they want to do early or are good at what they want to do, most students do not find what they want to do and become good at it by working hard, but rather find out what they want to do among the things they are good at and work harder. You'll get to do it well enough to like it. I rarely want to do something I'm not good at. This is especially true when it is difficult to do well in the beginning.


​


 Students who are good at studies are more likely to be good at most subjects than if they are good at just one subject. So, among the things I'm good at, I think of things I want to learn more or deal with as 'things I want to do'. It's about discovering what you want to do among the things you're good at, and the things you're not good at are not taken into account from the beginning.


​


Why do I want to study?


What do I really want?


Predictability, am I free from modern calculations?


It must be admitted that inertia, habitual choice, is based on a lot of negativity.


Even though I left school a long time ago as an adult, I still feel that I have not passed the schooled standards.


​


For true self-realization, 'positivity' must be accompanied by looking at and finding oneself beyond school evaluation, which is still the basis of education and society.


We have to go through the times of 'experience' rather than just 'doing' by asking, asking again and again, towards the realization of the true meaning of self.

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...
