Campbell Meditation

Bokdoeji / 57 yrs old I truly enjoyed the scientific, easy-to-understand explanation of the universe, the pictures, and myself that is a camera. I started Saturday afternoon, and on Wednesday I came to really experience and understand with my body and mind the true nature of the universe, me, truth, and falseness. As I subtracted my minds at this meditation, the conclusion I reached was that 3 days of studying was equivalent to 30 years of studying my mind. It was deeply moving. I was mesmerized by the music that accompanied the health exercises that we did every day, 3 times a day during our break times. Thank you for giving me the confidence that once you get the feel for it and just follow the meditation method, anyone can see the original mind of the universe. For the many of you practicing Zen Meditation, do not waste your time and come to the meditation main center in Nonsan. Here, while doing level one, which takes seven days, even if you meditate 3-5 days...

Ivna/Researcher I have always felt a little cutoff.  I knew there had to be more to life than this seemingly endless cycle of dissatisfaction I simply could not break free from. Things would seem ok for a while but eventually that feeling of emptiness would come back and once again I would see that I was spending my whole life barely getting by.  I continued to be overpowered by my emotions, constantly seeking out pleasure and furiously avoiding pain. I worked very hard to find ways to better myself and improve my relationships with others;  I moved to different cities, focused on my health and fitness, earned degrees and made great friends. But somehow all the work I would put into it amounted to either temporary changes or changes on the outside only. It terrified me that on the inside, I knew not a whole lot had changed. After starting this meditation, my life quickly began to change. I suddenly became viscerally aware of how my thoughts...

Fwumeei / Computer Engineer ” This Is Letting Go “ I didn’t know what I was looking for or why I sought, but I had been seeking for over 15 years. I read numerous spiritual books and attended many meditation retreats and workshops; but after I practiced this meditation, all my seeking stopped. There are many benefits I got from practicing this meditation, but the major one is the letting go of the strong attachment to my daughter. I used to live in her world, always arranging, planning things for her; thinking that I knew what was the best for her life. That was suffering for me. After subtracting the picture world, I realized that she doesn’t consume my thoughts anymore. I can respect her decisions, her life path….This is freedom for me and my daughter. This is letting go; I feel so free now. I am so grateful for this meditation. Source: Meditationusa.org

Jena / Artist ” I No Longer Felt Like an Outsider “ Before I started this meditation, I was very conscious of my surroundings and was concerned with what people thought about me.  I wanted to be liked and was afraid to say no to people.  Friends knew me as the ‘nice and cheerful’ girl. But often, I felt the opposite inside.  I always felt like an outsider trying to fit in no matter where I was.  Sometimes, I did not want to see anyone, and stayed home by myself without going out for days. Within a month of this meditation, a lot of my worries and concerns with my self-image disappeared. As I continued to let go of my self-image, I became more open and started communicating better with my friends and family.  I realized that I was looking at everyone with a critical eye and had high expectations from everyone, just like I had high expectations from myself.  When I let go of the expectations and accepted myself, I no longer felt like an out...

un-yong Um / Taxi Driver Jun-yong Um had been a banker, and after his retirement, he opened his own small business. But he lost everything due to the economic situation in South Korea (The 1990’s Korean Financial Crisis). After that, he became a taxi driver. He had to drive 16 hours a day and deal with intoxicated passengers. Right around the time when he realized why everyone says being a taxi driver is very tough, he found the meditation. But, after going through this meditation, he started to enjoy his job even if he had to deal with weird passengers and heavy traffic. Now he knows how to throw away his anger right at that moment, every time he feels it. He wants to convey the freedom he feels while living life. I used to be angry all day long because I was concerned with how much income I could make per day At first, It was not really easy for me to drive 16 hours a day.  I always felt irritated and nervous and always felt like I was being chased by somethin...

Chung Ji Su Before I started this meditation, I was so nervous and sensitive that I would feel a lot of stress and distracting thoughts over every little things. Through my meditation, as I kept looking back on my life and throwing away, now my mind is not disturbed easily. Amazingly, I do not feel any anger and any other emotions, even when I think of the past. I had such a wonderful experience. Source:  www.meditationlife.org

Keunwoo Kim / Bachelor’s Degree of Oriental Medicine in Daejeon University Keunwoo Kim whose father is an alcoholic and has a depression, also has a deep trauma after his brain surgery, has been anxious about his father, simultaneously Kim has been having a resentment towards his father. He also has been stiff to his father because he has a burden for being a first child of him. Kim said that he was a person who easily gets mad at every situation, also had been very stressful for his school work. And now this is the story about Keunwoo Kim who has started to understand his father and his life started to be changed after he met this meditation at his worst page in his life. ‘Try this meditation’ That was the first time that I heard about this meditation from the senior of my college I had a senior whom I met at a social club in my colleague and we became a friend. But, I kind of felt uncomfortable whenever I dealt with him for some reason. The reason is the fact that he had lost ...

Campbell Meditation Story – Abandoning ‘Me’ Who Hurt My Family Lee Keum Seong / CPA As I embarked on my 40s, where others claimed I had reached success, I on the other hand, felt no joy in neither body nor mind. As a CPA, I earned a comfortable living, and perhaps it’s because I had, more or less, tried doing everything, but there wasn’t anything new that I really wanted to do. “I was embarrassed about my family, my colleagues didn’t suit my taste, life felt stifling” Being smack in the middle as the third of 5 daughters didn’t suit my taste. I was dissatisfied with my father who was incompetent. Since my mother was the bread winner of the family, she was rarely home and so our house was unkempt, which made me feel very wistful. It seemed to me that my eldest sister didn’t look after the younger siblings and that she was living her life in whatever way she pleased. As such, I, as a younger sibling was busy “teaching” my eldest sister. Not to mention that due to the thought ...

Truth is an everlasting, never-changing and living existence. This is the correct definition of Truth. The existence that is everlasting, never-changing and alive is the body, Jung, and mind, Shin, of the Universe, which existed before the great Universe. This existence is the sky before sky: the emptiness that is the great Universe itself. It is Truth and the very Soul and Spirit of the great Universe. It is a metaphysical entity that exists, of and by itself, in all creations. It is the source and the origin of all things. It does not exist yet it does exist; although it exists, it has no form. It cannot be seen or known by the human mind; it is only possible to now this existence when one’s mind goes beyond his human mind and becomes one with this existence. If one is reborn as the Soul and Spirit of this existence, he is Truth and can live forever without death. This existence exists, as the Universe itself. Regardless of the countless creations that come and go it just exists, ...

There were people living in the world even a long time ago. The many people who lived in the world throughout the ages have all disappeared, silently and without a trace. While they lived, they were attached to the realities of their daily lives and they suffered because of their minds of possession, but despite all of their agonizing over the meaningless events of life, no trace of them remains. Ultimately, there is no meaning in human life. The only way for man to live forever and escape from suffering and burden is to die while he is still living. Only then can he find his true self. His true self is God who remains when he is dead. Even if all people and the world disappear, what remains is the existence without form, taste, scent, sight, hearing and feeling. That is, the existence – for which these minds have completely ceased – remains: the original foundation. If one is reborn from the original foundation, he and the world become eternal and never-dying immortals, and both ...

Falseness is what does not exist and reality is what does exist. The human mind world that man makes is false and the world is real. It is the way of the world that everything in the world comes from and returns to the origin, the source, or the original foundation. The origin is the only thing that is real. People are dead and false because they take pictures of the real world and live inside those pictures. Everything in the world came from the original foundation and is the original foundation whether it exists or not. Only the original foundation is real. Moreover, when everything in the world has been born in the true world which is the original foundation, it will all become real, eternal and without death. Only what is real is alive and what is false is dead and does not exist. – Woo Myung from < Stop Living In This Land, Go To The Everlasting World Of Happiness, Live There Forever > 

An innumerable number of people have come and gone in this world, but no one knows where they came from or where they went. In any case, they have all disappeared from the world. From the Universe’s point of view, man disappears after a fleeting, meaningless life; there is little difference between a mayfly that passes away after a day and man who passes away after seventy to eighty years. Only man dies holding onto all the events and stories from his life. If he looks back on those stories after time has passed, he would realize that it is all meaningless. When the Creator created man, he was made to resemble him. However, man made his own self-centered world by copying what is in the Creator’s world. He lost his original nature and began to lead a selfish life; but it enabled civilization to progress; man’s greed enabled the population of the world to multiply rapidly and without it, mankind would have died out naturally. The Creator will come to the world to save mankind at a tim...

Whether or not man has a soul is something that is often discussed. The law of nature is that all material existences in the world come from the origin and go back to the origin. This is the law of the Universe. A person who believes in Truth, that is, a person who has become Truth, can be reborn in the kingdom of Truth. Only the master of Truth can enable him to be reborn, and can resurrect his soul. The soul that man speaks of is false for it is an illusion that his false self mistakenly believes to exist in his own false mind. Therefore it is not really a soul. Those who say that man has a soul are those who have been born into a false world and they are those who speaks as if they know things out of the ordinary. However, these people are dead because the world they think they have been born into is their own mind world. Only a person who has the mind of Truth and is reborn in the kingdom of Truth has a soul that is alive; and only such a person has an everlasting soul. The hu...

Truth knows both what is false and what is true, but falseness knows neither Truth nor falseness. Therefore, no one in the world knows Truth because man is not real but false and incomplete. He is an entity without life and he is a sinner because he makes and lives in his own world that has turned its back on God, Truth. Only Truth can destroy and eliminate falseness and only the master of the original foundation, of Truth, knows the method to do so. In other words, only what is true can eliminate falseness. During the time of incompletion, many people became ascetics and tried hard to find Truth. However, no one has been able to achieve Truth – if someone had achieved Truth, a method to become Truth would already exist. Because of man’s ignorance he does not know that it is nonsense when someone claims that he, and only he, has achieved Truth. If one has achieved Truth, he must have a plan, a method, for anyone to do the same. A place that enables one to become Truth can do s...

Many people think about death and have questions about it but there is no one who knows the answers to their questions. Each religion talks of a world beyond this world: in Buddhism, it is said the world of paradise, where Buddha resides, exists. In Christianity, it is said that heaven exists. However, no one knows which place is true. In any case, heaven is a world that exists and hell is a world that does not exist. Man is born into the world with a limited amount of time. During his time in the world, he stands at a crossroads of living or dying. However, no one in the world truly realizes this. No one knows whether he will die or live, because man does not have true knowledge that comes from wisdom. There have been billions of people on Earth who lived seventy to eighty years and passed away. While many people believe they moved on to another place, the only thing that is certain is that they have disappeared from this world. The principle of the world is that you exist beca...

What is salvation and why do people need to be saved? It is the way of the world that all creations come from the original foundation and return to it. This is the law of nature. Because man is false and an illusion, this falseness must be eliminated if he is to return to the world and be born as a real person. This is man’s salvation. Man can only be saved when he is reborn in his mind that has become the world. In other words, only when his false self has completely disappeared can he become real. The mythical stories of human completion and people living in eternal heaven spoke of the current age: God, Buddha and heaven existing in man’s mind when his mind changes from falseness to the real mind of the origin, and then being reborn from the origin. Until now it was the age of incompletion, an age when people read religious scriptures and just talked about Truth; but now it is the age when all people can become Truth and complete, and anyone can become a saint and an eternally liv...

I have asked people if they know what is true. I have also asked them if they know what is false. No one has been able to give a proper answer to either question. Truth is an existence that is real, everlasting, never-changing and alive. This existence is the sky before the sky – the Creator and the source of everything in heaven and earth. The sky is the Creator and Truth itself which existed an eternity before and which will exist an eternity after. The stars, the sun, the moon and the Earth came from this sky as did people and everything on Earth. The sky is the source – everything came from it and therefore everything is the sky. When the sky that is the Creator created all things, everything was made to live eternally; they were made to live to the age of the sky itself. However, man is unable to become Truth because of his sins and karma. He is false and therefore, dead. This is the reason Christianity tells us man will be saved at the second coming ...
