Campbell Meditation Experience – Meditation Made Me See The World differently.

Campbell Meditation Experience – Meditation Made Me See The World differently. Hyungjun Seo / Office Worker I’ve always enjoyed movies since I was a young child. I always wanted to be the hero in the movie, or the main character of the movie. I wanted to love, to succeed and even wanted to travel in time. In reality, I was imitating one of the main characters of a movie and living in a fantasy. I wanted to live a great movie-like life. I had graduated from high school, entered college and served in the military quite easily. I’m Saddened With My Disparity Between Fantasy and Reality On the surface, my life was that of a happy and successful plot. But my mind was full of insecurities, inferiority and severe guilt. I always worried about the future, but I didn’t take many actions to change my future. I had expectations and hopes for a future where I was going to be just as great as the heroine that I created in my mind. Just like in the movies, the protagonist, who was not real, was aliv...

Campbell Meditation Movie - Gravity(2013)

Campbell Meditation Movie – About Human’s Will Of Never Giving Up: Gravity Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in Gravity, a science fiction thriller. It has received favorable reviews from many critics. Not many people appear in this film: only Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Moreover, for George Clooney’s role, only his voice is present most of the time. However, the ninety-minute running time does not feel boring because of its outstanding visual scenes. While watching this film, even audiences feel that they are in the middle of the universe. Its graphics are magnificent and practically show the massive universe. Stone (Sandra Bullock) has lost everything and floats alone in the infinite universe. She seems like a tiny existence that is even smaller than a piece of dust. Because the universe is so massive and endless, audiences can even feel the fear as if floating in the Universe. This film does not have aliens, killers or ghosts but it is really cruel and ...

Campbell Meditation Experience – Kashvi Anand

Campbell Meditation Experience –  From a Mind Full of Complaints to a Mind Full of Gratitude By Kashvi Anand I was born in New Delhi, India. I immigrated to the United States when I was 21 years old. I had a rough time transitioning from India to the US because of racial discrimination and cultural differences. I always had a mind full of complaints and annoyances instead of having any kind of gratitude to God. My negativity affected my husband and my child. I also struggled because I just didn’t know how to stop my negative mindset. I was raised in a devout Hindu family. I was taught to have a righteous mind toward God and always tried to read the scriptures, but this didn’t help my negative mind or my complaining. I prayed and prayed. I meditated the way I was taught as a child back in India. Nothing seemed to help me. During those days, I came across a book written by teacher Woo Myung on Amazon. I learned that he didn’t just write books, but he also created a meditati...

Campbell Meditation Media – Netflix’s popular drama, Kingdom

Netflix ’s popular  drama,  Kingdom ,  tells a story that sounds familiar. Kingdom  is Netflix’s first original Korean series. It’s an adaptation of a webcomic series called  The Kingdom of the Gods , which was originally authored by Kim Eun-hee and illustrated by Yang Kyung-il. Of course Netflix has become very popular in the days of social distancing, but in  Kingdom,  viewers will find the storyline eerily reminiscent of today’s current situation with regards to the global pandemic. The story is set during Korea’s Joseon period, a few years after the Japanese invasion of Korea (1592-1598). The premise of the story combines facts with fiction as the Korean population dies as a result of a global pandemic and mutates into zombies. Though they are dead, they still think and behave as if they are alive. In the course of the story, the characters struggle for powerful positions, some even killing others to get a chance to hold t...

La La Land - A Story of Lingering Attachments and Regrets

La La Land - A Story of Lingering Attachments and Regrets La La Land is a film that harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood’s movie musicals. Singing, dancing and great romantic story lines abound as well as the outstanding performances of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone (Stone received an Oscar for Best Actress for her performance). This movie will remind many of their first love and goals or successes that are unable to be achieved in one’s past. One could also call these memories regrets and/or lingering attachments. Director Damien Chazelle allows the viewer to look back on their dreams and loves through a beautiful performance by Gosling. There is no one who can say that he or she has a completely fulfilled or satisfying life. After all, we all live with regrets. It’s often been said that we all live in the past instead of living in the present moment. In modern society, many people suffer with depression and mental illnesses. When we seek therapy or counseling, it ...

Corona Pandemic, The Best Way To Overcome This Tough Time

Life of Nature’s Flow The attachments one has in his mind are the root of his thoughts. Thoughts can also be called a ‘thought-mass,’ which is the body of images one has in his mind due to the existence of his individual self. Those images are what confuse man uselessly; they begin in the thoughts that man has in his mind and then are directly manifested in his deeds without even thinking. Deeds are no different from thoughts, but since his thoughts precede his deeds, Man falls into utter distress. Humans must live in a humanly manner in order to be human, but if man lives a life that is full of turmoil, then he is living a life that is not true. Writings are the representations of the mind, and my writings are my message. But people have yet to understand its meaning due to the images they have in their minds. The countless people of this world each have their own images from which they are unable to escape. Images belong to ma...
