While on a trip for the German Workshop 2023, I went sightseeing in the city and visited several churches, including Köln Cathedral. Among the various church window paintings, there was one that I had never seen before, which caught my eye. So, I write it down as follows in my personal study.
I always focus on motivating others to think for themselves through my own thoughts, rather than making claims or counterarguments about certain facts.

Kimu training in Bonn, Germany on 21st Oct. 2023

Through the practice of "Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu - Haedong Kumdo" martial arts,

As individuals comprehend the flow and manifestation of energy within and around their bodies,

This understanding enables them to grasp the significance and essence of these elements in human life.

Throughout one's lifespan, until the day the human body's functions cease,

It is repeatedly taught to help individuals naturally understand how to give their best and why it's essential.

This pursuit promotes health and happiness during one's lifetime.

Fundamentally, it aligns with the principles, laws, and truths of nature.

From a religious perspective, it means correctly acknowledging the driving force in life, whether it's the Buddha, God, or the universe, which encompasses all of human existence in one's daily life.

This process is referred to as "Enlightenment" or "Self-Acquirement: Self-Magnetization."

It involves acquiring the means and tools to accumulate "Love."

This is the essence of "Faith" and serves as one's "Spiritual Growth" or "Life-Record Score" for the next life.

Through both bodily and mental experiences, individuals learn why greed, anger, and foolishness should be avoided.

Guiding this journey is the "Light," which can also be expressed as "Love."

The magnitude of "Faith" corresponds to the capacity of the human heart or can be described as "the thickness of a Light Pillar."

This path represents one's "the Way," the Truth, and Life, signifying the alpha and omega.

There's no need for the Buddha, God, or any divine entity to demand belief or obedience.

Faith doesn't spontaneously emerge through mere belief; it's something individuals accumulate out of necessity to lead fulfilling lives.

It also provides a reason for humans to develop goodness and wisdom.

The ongoing "Path of Righteous Practice" series of 5 books (Korean version) on sale focuses on comprehending the essence of energy through the body and living a life of continuous realization.

The genuine essence and authenticity of life, whether in martial arts, philosophy, religion, or any other domain, revolve around recognizing the guiding force for humanity.

This understanding empowers us to excel, making our assigned tasks and respective religions even more meaningful.

As everything ultimately returns to one,

even within martial arts training,

it allows for diverse expressions and explanations based on one's perspective of the essence of everything.

☆ The Definition of Attainment and Self-Acquirement in the practice of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo

The attainment and acquirement of "Light and Love" involve understanding the significance of light and love and realizing their underlying essence.

Attainment signifies continuous enlightenment regarding their meanings, while Self-Acquirement involves the tools to accumulate the energy of light and love within one's body, thereby transforming the body into an energy vessel, often referred to as the "Ki-Mu Che."
