Today in Tokyo, Master Idaki Shin’s Applied Course was held in Komae . Before the course, issues and problems that need resolution become clear. No matter how much I try to deal with them in the previous way, no solution is found, and my suffering only continues. But in the Applied Course, I realize the cause, and in a single leap, I can grow and advance. This time I became aware, by meeting Master Idaki Shin, that problems surface precisely because the time to solve them is near. I also understood well that what cannot be solved cannot even be recognized. This morning, I experienced something frightening—whether it was sleep paralysis or another phenomenon, I do not know—but I saw numerous spirits attacking me. I trembled in fear. It was a state that could be described by the word “massacre.” Many people were being struck down, and I, too, was about to be cut. I screamed in agony, nearly to the point of madness. Only when I understood that this was something occurring in the invisible world did my heart finally calm and find peace. At that moment, the words “the massacre of a clan” arose—the words expressed in my poem of Lady Yuhwa, mother of King Dongmyeong, in the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered.” Clearly, when I wrote that poem, I had seen such a scene of slaughter. Losing loved ones, with no clue of how to go on living in this world, no support to lean on—Lady Yuhwa’s sorrowful heart was vividly felt within me. Today, I experienced the condition of “massacre” in the invisible world, and I acknowledged that I understood it so deeply because I had inherited that very state. Now the past is being released. A few days ago, I heard within me the words, “vengeful spirits and wandering ghosts have departed.” I believe they appeared because they were leaving me as well. What I can sense is that my skin perception is different now. I feel it is breathing, and through communion with leaves and being united with the energy of trees, I feel a great strength welling up from within. I realized that until now, my body had been covered by a kind of film, as if possessed by vengeful spirits and wandering ghosts. As I believe these spirits that dwell like parasites within life will all depart, joy over becoming my true self rises from deep within. As one who looks up people’s fates, I see the spirits of others who lived in the past that reside as sensations and emotions within people. They are so united with that person that I feel they cannot recognize it themselves. I often wondered when the day would come for this matter to be resolved. Finally, the time has come. Today, I sense that the spirits of the past, once fused with my own sensations and emotions, are now surfacing and moving toward liberation. Meeting Master Idaki Shin means that fundamental solutions can be realized. Only he has the capacity to accept, so without him, there is no way for release or resolution to come within us. Meeting him, having everything accepted, and moving toward resolution for all—there is no greater life. With the sound of the piano that reaches far beyond, being connected with Master Idaki Shin’s presence, never losing the center, I feel the beginning of a new and true life—living honestly by expressing my innermost wishes, no matter what happens. It is the coming of a new era. Thank you.
