I have been discovering my genuine talent while cleansing my mind
It is said that you can find your true self through meditation. I would like to talk about the changes I experienced while meditating to clear my mind.
In psychology, we explain the human mind by comparing it to an iceberg. Most iceberg floating in the sea is submerged, with only a few percent visible above. Human unconsciousness is compared to the part of the iceberg submerged under the sea, and consciousness is described as the part exposed above the water. Some of our unconsciousness is inherited from our parents and ancestors. Much of how we think is determined by these inherited traits. So we say that the fate of a person is already predetermined. Along with these inherited habits, we then add our own life experiences to create our world. This appears to us to be the world but it is not, it is a world we built for ourselves in our minds. But we don’t have to stay trapped in that world.
If we can eliminate these inherited habits and pictures we took of the world from ourselves, we can free our unconscious and change our lives. What I have realized while cleansing the mind in meditation is that I became enlightened about the True Self. After throwing away not only the false mind I made in my present life but also the habits I inherited from my ancestors it’s like returning to the place before I was born. My true self is so different from the thing I had identified as me that it felt like a real awakening. Since I reached the state of the true mind, I have been finding talents and abilities that I have never imagined before. It was surprising to find out that I had the incredible potential within me.
For example, I was far from a person who found it easy to communicate with people through talking or writing. I never knew that it would be so much fun talking with people. In the past, I just talked to people because I had to, and I was never able to write anything properly. My ability to communicate with others was almost zero. Not only was I inarticulate in expressing my thinking, but I was also very shy.
But as I learned how to discard this illusionary mind made of memories of my life and habits, I realized that I was originally a person who wanted to convey my true feelings to others and hear their feelings.
To my great surprise, various sensibilities developed. I realized that I had an artistic sense and a linguistic sense, and could move a person’s mind. I developed a talent for counseling and education.
Before I found my true self, I couldn’t speak with people fluently. So, I didn’t like speaking in public. One day, my friend heard a foreigner speaking Korean and said that she was better at speaking Korean than me. At that time, I was embarrassed. Maybe, it is because my mind was not in a happy mood that I couldn’t express my mind well. Anyway, My mind was always heavy. I didn’t even laugh well. One day a friend of mine told me that I looked like a robot. She told me that I probably got rigid to protect myself. She also said that my zodiac sign is ‘Cancer’ which is a crab with a hard shell. I think I was trying to protect myself from getting hurt. I had a lot of inferiority in my heart. I was living in a fake mind world while being bound to false human notions and habits without knowing who I am.
Luckily, I met an amazing meditation method and was able to get rid of my fake mind. What’s amazing is that through the process, amazing talents appeared in me that I had never imagined before. I found that when I used that talent for the world, it got bigger and bigger. No matter how much I used it, new ideas and creative ideas came up like a spring that never dried up and the love and gratitude in my heart grew even bigger. I heard this kind of story before but it was amazing that it could happen to me.
I hope everyone finds their true talent through meditation and lives a life of achieving what they want to achieve without false images blocking them.
