From outside, it seemed like I had everything. I had a loving family and also all things I wanted and needed. I had an atheletic body, carisma, and intelligence… and I lived a fruitful life with my family, lovers, relationship with others, exercise, education, food, parties, travels and friends…. I was always positive and happy. I lived happily only noticing good things in everything. I was very fortunate. Many people always liked me and I was never lonely. Since I was 22 years old, something changed. I started to question why I studied, and worked, and where I am headed after death. I began to live a spiritual life since then. I was searching for something for 4 years. I didn’t know what, but I knew it was something very important. I felt I was incomplete and futile. There was no meaning in my life, but I felt there must be something…. the meaning of life and purpose. I felt life was not about money, work, party, friends, and family. I put a lot of effort to find this ‘something.’ I read many books of Dalai Lama, Osho, and Eckhart; and I did a lot of yoga, tai chi, reiki,... View Article
I started the meditation on August 10th, 2010, after I phoned my sister in Mexico City. Despite the earthquake, she was fine. Because she did the meditation, she said she no longer had any fear of death now. This was very shocking, since she always had a lot of fear about death. My sister told me to look up a website and I found a local center about 15 minutes from my house. That center had a free seminar every Saturdays and so I went. At first, I wasn’t happy with the contents of seminar. I felt the suffering and sadness was very real to me – but then, since my childhood, I always wanted to know why we live and where we go after death. In the past, I had attended many other seminars elsewhere and they did not have any method to become the Truth. So I started the meditation. I started to notice changes after 2 weeks. Conditions which surrounded me and my environment seemed better. Then I started to go to the center every day and saw positive changes. I had experienced difficulties because my mind and habits at times. Through the meditation, I eliminated all... View Article
At the end of 2011, I was in a complete despair. It was the year of no significance or meaning: I was about to graduate that year but had no plans after graduation, and I was really stressed. So I distanced myself from others and I started to defend myself. I got interested in meditations in general (like meditations you would see in movies). One day I read a brochure from this meditation which my mom gave me, and it was exactly what I was looking for. The meaning of my life, who I am, where I am from – the meditation to know what real happiness is without stress. My path started from here. The center was a block away from my house and it was a vacation time, so I went to the center every day. And I meditated all day long, so I passed the levels very quickly. Each level was great and the center was comfy like my own home. When I was doing 2nd level, there was a seminar and I helped out as much as I can. This was when I met the teacher Woo Myung and I opened my mind to listen to... View Article
