8. Inevitable Meeting-Necessity of Teacher

                               [ A tree from Bryce Canyon]

He could feel deep into his heart that it was not easy to do practice without any teacher or master. He had such a deep longing for a spiritual master, that his longing pierced his heart to the bone. He worried that he might be dead or crazy, and he was concerned about why he had struggles which normal people didn’t. He longed to have his own teacher. He wanted to know if his practice was going well or not. But there was no one who could give him an answer about that. His heart’s desire made him to do “100 days prayers”. But even 100 days later, he couldn’t find his teacher. With deep disappointment, he continued his practice and waited. One day when he finished his work, he saw a poster “Dahnhak Open Seminar” on his way home. He thought that might be a good chance to find his teacher and have an answer for his questions. He asked to have his day off from his work, took a bath and went to the Seminar three hours early. There was no one there except him. He did his practice while he waited. The staff came to the Seminar location and started to prepare. Finally, the Seminar began.

Brain Waves & Insights

Brain Waves and Insights

  [ Flowers at SIMC]

As we live our lives, we have many different insights that come to us.  We live with having a brain, and depending on the brain waves produced in the brain, insights that we receive can be changed.  If the brain waves are rough and rapid, insights will be rough and rapid.  But, if the brain waves are smooth and stable, insights will be smooth and stable.  Like this, the brain waves influence all ideas, wisdom, imagination, memory, ability to predict, foresight, and ability to heal, etc.

Then, what is that which creates the brain waves?  It is Cosmic Energy (Chun-ji-ki-un).  There are two kinds of energy.  First, there is internal life energy, and most people live receiving insights through this life energy.  Secondly, there is Cosmic Energy (Chun-ji-ki-un)  that connects externally, and this kind of energy connects to all the space outside which responds and facilitates to produce insights.

That which makes us fall sleep and wake up is Chun-ji-ki-un too, which is also brain waves.  Normally, when it becomes dark and quiet at night, the frequency of brain waves lowers and we fall asleep.  When morning comes, light enters which makes the energy of the brain and its brain waves become active, and we wake up.  From the light, brain waves function to make us fall asleep and wake up.  In this way, our brain responds, not only to light, but to all the senses that we have, and what arises is insight.

For common people’s cases, changes in the brain waves occur from internal/external environment and simple responsive senses, like falling asleep when night comes, and waking up when morning comes.  However, the ability for persons who can control their brain waves to bring in, send out, and suspend the energy, occurs in the same manner as well.  Therefore, if you can convert to a state where you are able to control your brain waves, you can bring about insights that you wish to have.

Developing the senses to be able to control the brain waves is training.  When training, from a state of simply responding to the occurring brain waves, you can develop yourself as the master to control your brain waves.  When this happens, not only can you control ideas, thoughts, emotions, the ability to predict, and foresight, but the body’s physical phenomenon and health conditions can be controlled as well.  Through this, the ability to heal can be developed.  These new senses, therefore, become insights and through it we can elevate the quality of our life.
