My (very personal) Change Thanks to Maum Meditation #1: Everything is my fault

"내탓이다"

The four characters in this picture means:

It's my fault.

This is the biggest and the most incredible realization

I experienced through Maum Meditation.

As I looked back at my past life, I could really see how horrible and selfish I have been

and that everything, I mean literally everything, is my fault.

I'm infinitely grateful. 

Throwing away the false mind enabled me to look myself 

from a perspective which is absent of my self. 

Thanks to/through the method of Maum Meditation,

I could realize that everything is my fault and also throw away all that false mind I hid.

"Everything is my fault because there is me"

                                                              - Woo Myung

Everything is entirely my fault

To see things in this way is my fault

To see things in that way is my fault

Other people’s mistakes are my fault,

And what they do well is also my fault

To think others are doing wrong or well is my fault

Everything in this world is my fault

All the conditions by which the world runs is my fault

It is not the fault of the world,

My ancestors, or my parents,

Nor is it the fault of my husband, or wife,

It is not the fault of my children, or my siblings or friends.

It is not the fault any of the people in the world,

It is all, my fault.

The enemies the people I hate or the people I love

The well off and the not well off

The dirty and the clean,

Everything is my fault
...the rest omitted.

******

This poem written by Teacher Woo Myung, 

has been one of my favorites since I truly understood the meaning of "Everything is my fault".

Now I can appreciate people and things, situations and conditions around me.

I can listen to other people, understand and respect them.

This is something I would've never imagined.

I'm truly grateful.

Aren't they just beautiful? *3*

Michel Delacroix (1933 - , France) and his art pieces

were introduced in Maum Monthly November 2012.

They are all breathtaking!

When I lived in Southern Germany a few years ago,

I used to go to Paris every weekend, 

since the nearest Maum Meditation Center was there.

Can you imagine that, spending every weekends in Paris? :-) 

It took me over 4 hours(just one-way) to get there, 

but every time it was more than worth it. 

the journey to the original foundation through discarding my false self

was time of reflection and joy.

Every single second of my weekends was more than precious. 

Monsier Delacroix reminded me of those days. :) 

*Maum Meditation Paris Center is located just 5 minutes-foot-walk-away

 from La Tour Eiffel. 

(Every morning I took a walk in Park Champ de mars.*3*)

Maum Meditation Benefits_Relief from Stress

Maum Meditation Benefits will be posted regularly under the category of “Benefits”.

The most noticeable benefit you come along with Maum Meditation is stress reduction. Actually, it is a solution to complete elimination of stress. The pictures we accumulate in our minds always dictate us to think, behave and talk in a certain way. Although we do not wish to be in control of the false mind, as it is already programmed in our mind, we cannot help but obey them.
You might have experienced the situations in which you acted in a different way you wish to act and they remain as regrets and bitternes in your mind and say to yourself that you would never repeat the same but soon, you find yourself act in a certain way again. This is how our mind is programmed with the pictures.
Also, we are always boiling with the thoughts around our head; thinking back and forth about the past and future, rarely staying in the moment. When something important is coming up in near future, we keep worrying about it and getting stressed out. The same for the past: when we do something embarrassing, we cannot just let it go from our mind but keep thinking about it feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed even after few months it happened. Having the countless thoughts all the time, never giving your mind rest is a real stress. In severe cases, you might suffer from some physical or psychological symptoms of stress like loss of appetite, obesity, insomnia and depression.
How can Maum Meditation help you dealing with such problems? Well, it’s very simple as it sounds! Maum Mediation teaches you the meditation method that is subtracting the pictures. The pictures are just the false mind accumulated in our mind, which makes us think that they are real. However, because they are not of the true nature, they disappear when you throw them away according to the subtraction method. All the stress, such as worrying about the future, regrets about the past and being unable to control yourself, is basically caused by the pictures of your mind. Therefore, by subtracting them, even a little bit of pictures, you can feel a huge relief and feel light like feather. Elimination of the pictures also keeps your mind calm and quiet, the great benefit of our Maum Meditation. Therefore, you can stay at peaceful state of mind.
Upon the completion of Maum Meditation, all of human mind will be eliminated, which means all of the pictures, the cause of stress, will also be eliminated completely. Soyou will never ever suffer from stress in your life! It can be confidently said that it is the best meditation for stress relief.

Thank you :0)

The Mind Of Nature - Woo Myung

The Mind Of Nature

The sky is so clear that it is a shade of blue

That appears almost black.

Flowing in the valley between the mountains,

The water in that stone-bedded stream is inexpressibly clear,

And in it, nameless fish dart here and there, playing.

The mountains are high,

And here and there unknown flowers are in bloom.

New leaves are budding on treetops,

And in the mountains, wild herbs are sprouting,

And many fresh shoots can be seen on the hardy kiwi trees.

Following the mountain valley,

I stumble on a patch of wild mountain vegetables.

As I forage for mountain herbs

Seeking out spots yet untouched by people,

The warm sun, the clear air and water

Refreshes my body, worn and stained by the city.

My body feels as light as a feather. 

Taking after the surroundings, my whole body is so clean, 

And thanks to all the hiking I did in my youth,

I do not tire despite walking up many hills.

I sit on a large rock near the water to eat my packed lunch.

There is a small waterfall close by

And on a slope near the cascade, a bird I cannot identify

Quietly chatters as it flits back and forth.

In spring, there are so many things in the mountain-side

And they are too beautiful to enjoy alone;

The day is warm,

And I begin to wonder how long it has been

Since someone last came by the places I have been.

As these high mountains and secluded valleys are hard to get to,

It made me curious as to whether anyone had ever come.

Climbing higher up the mountain,

I can see there are less leaves growing on the trees,

And a startled mountain deer runs away,

Casting back sidelong looks as it runs.

The animals and vegetation here, in the mountains,

Live generation after generation, just like people.

Without homes, with only their naked selves,

Facing the winds if the winds are blowing,

The rain if the rain is falling,

And the snow if it is snowing.

In the cold if it is cold,

And in the heat if it is hot,

They live without words.

Everything that exists disappears,

Comes again then again, disappears.

But only I know the principle

That the place that they have returned to is the origin,

And it is the origin from whence they came.

Trying to seek and attain something from this transient world,

So many people fight, kill and thieve;

In my eyes, they are truly foolish.

When one has become the mind of nature

And is without blame,

Without envy, jealousy or conceit,

Without judgment of right and wrong,

Discernment of this and that;

When all human minds have disappeared,

It is the mind of nature. 

Teacher Woo Myung's Poem "The Mind Of Nature" from his latest book and my favorite book, 
"Stop living in this land. Go to the everlasting world of happiness. Live there forever." 

This book is now #1 Amazon Bestseller in four categories:  

mental health, philosophy, spiritual meditation and self-help. Amazing! 

"The mind of nature" is one of my favorite poems from this book. 

I especially love the last part;

"When one becomes the mind of nature and is without blame, without envy, jealousy or conceit, 
without judgement of right and wrong, discernment of this and that; 
When all human minds have disappeared, it is the mind of nature."

Isn't this beautiful? *3*

Maum Meditation "My Father Has Changed"

Artikel aus Magazin "Maum Monthly"

My father has changed

My Father Got His Smile Back!

Yonhee Hong, 23, University Student

It must have been during my middle school years when our family's life suddenly turned upside down.

My father had guaranteed a loan for his friend, and the loan went bad. He lost a fortune when he had to pay off the loan.

We barely escaped becoming homeless, and we had to move to a considerably smaller house.

Also, my father moved away for a few years in order to make money.

I was never close to my father, who did not know how to be affectionate. After this incident, I started hating him.

Occasionally my father would visit us, and my parents would often start arguing and we were all so miserable.

I blamed my father for everything and I ignored him completely. It seemed that my father also blamed himself for everything.

He was gradually becoming emaciated and he always looked worried and sad.

But I was too busy worrying about my own prideful issues since I was quite immature and selfish.

I used to be embarrassed to bring friends over to our house or to talk about our family situation.

I was angry at my father, and I talked to him without respect or affection.

When I was a high school student one of my father's relatives introduced him to Maum Meditation.

After about six months of meditation he looked definitely happier.

And he started doing housekeeping chores, and paid great attention to taking care of us.

He did not say much; however, his quiet and relaxed demeanor brought stability to all of us.

Since then we have all tried Maum Meditation. All of us had been very stressed and frustrated.

My mother had to endure tremendous suffering, watching my father going through so many problems so suddenly.

My older sister also suffered, feeling a heavy burden on her to earn the bread.

After doing the meditation for a while, we all felt the changes within us.

The walls between us started to crumble and I began to see more clearly what my father had gone through during those tough times.

It must have been extremely painful and frustrating to carry the guilt and financial burden all by himself.

He must have tried to bear the difficulties by himself lest he inadvertently hurt us even more.

I deeply regretted my conduct and attitude towards him. And I cried a lot because instead of supporting him,

I had only piled more stress on him by acting like an immature, selfish, spoiled brat.

And I felt so ashamed that I had never listened to him because I was embarrassed by his situation at that time.

At present my father is a taxi driver. In spite of his back problems he works for 24 hours, from 6am to 6am the next morning.

He works constantly for us. Even when he stops by home to take his meals, he jokes around and

helps out with the dishwashing, cleaning the floors, and other chores, all without showing any sign of exhaustion.

I realize now how great my father is. My mother is amazed at his determination.

She said "Your father, who used to work only in the office,

would have never thought of taking such a physically demanding job if he had not done the meditation."

My father accepts and supports all my endeavors saying, "Yes, that's good."

I respect him a lot and I'm very grateful to him.

I said, "Father, our family is truly blessed because we came across Maum Meditation. Right?"

Thank you dad, for always working so hard for us and showing us your smiles, not frowns.

Let us continue living happily like this. I love you.

I love Maum Meditation: Maum Meditation Reviews - Ivan (Los Angeles, CA):

I am not angry with the whole world anymore

Ivan / Film school student / Los Angeles, CA

I would like to say that Maum Meditation has helped me tremendously. I am a US Army Iraq War Veteran. When I first returned home from Iraq, I was dealing with lots of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) issues and issues from my childhood all rolled into one. I was unable to drive my car anywhere. I was also very angry and judgmental and could only be friends with other veterans.

I tried getting help through the hospital and I still remember to this day what they told me, that PTSD is not curable and I will have it for the rest of my life. I tried going to school so that I could adjust to society, but I had little luck with that. I kept dropping classes and failing the simplest of classes just due to lack of concentration.

I recently started going to film school and soon after, I was introduced to Maum Meditation. The change that I feel is so huge that I can't even begin to explain. I now notice a big difference in the way I interact with people. I am not angry with the whole world anymore, I like being around people, I am more outgoing than before. I am getting good grades in school, I am able to pay attention in class and always be on time.

Thanks to Maum Meditation, it feels like it's the first time that I am truly starting to feel how life was supposed to be lived.

*** shared from blog I love Maum Meditation

I'm grateful for Ivan who I personally do not know and his changes through Maum Meditation.

I see so many people suffering and hiding from their own stories and life which are their false mind.

I feel most happy and thankful when I hear stories of people who actually are getting out of their suffering through Maum Meditation and are taking steps to the origin/original foundation, to the real world. 

I'm also immeasurably grateful that I could do the least thing to guide and help people while they take path to the truth with Maum Meditation.

Thank you Ivan!

Thank you Maum Meditation!
