Artificial Transcendentalism

By Yunsu Ha

Intuition is perceiving direct sensations of matter. It is qualitatively different from rational thinking. The human mind is familiar with thinking in rational functions such as deduction, generalization, comparison, analysis and so on. People mostly stay in this conceptual world of the mind in their everyday lives. But, among the mental functions, intuitive recognition apparently works in everyday lives in spite of its humble position. The usage of a simple coffee maker is intuitively understood without the manual. Likewise, the position of trivial things is intuitively perceived and controlled. People employ intuition most often in simple and trivial things in everyday life. The inspiration for the meaning of a life, considered over a long time span, or the wisdom of overcoming deep troubles might at first look intuitive rather than rational, but these cases could be interpreted as the accumulation of brewed rationality, too.

There are possibilities of pure intuition which could be experienced by everybody. However, these possibilities are mostly ignored because of a lack of understanding how to use. How to originate intuitive functions intentionally and how to improve their quality and quantity will be explained in this book. The sensation of artificial intuition seems to have infinite and noble features. These features could be drawn into reality and could make reality be sensed differently. Everybody can experience such transcendence with artificial intuition.

Gradually, this journey will indicate the direction of a noble life. People will happily prefer actualization of purity to hatred, prejudice, obstinate desire and vain daydreams. Even if people select impure thoughts and behaviors in tough reality, the inclination for the beauty of transcendence will gradually influence tiny notions and emotions in everyday lives. Beauty would conquer the human mind because, when a self is intuitively seen, that form of beauty is perceived as the Infinite. People will position intuition beyond rational functions at times when their experiences lead them in the opposite direction, toward the rationalization of their situations and surroundings.

Finally, people will notice the novel meaning of helping other people because they will be already familiar with enkindling the light of intuition in other people. People will be closer to artificial transcendentalism, intuitively and naturally.

PREFACE

Intuition is perceiving direct sensations of matter. It is qualitatively different from rational thinking. The human mind is familiar with thinking in rational functions such as deduction, generalization, comparison, analysis, and so on. People mostly stay in this conceptual world of the mind in their everyday lives. But among the mental functions, intuitive recognition apparently works in everyday lives in spite of its humble position. The usage of a simple coffeemaker is intuitively understood without the manual.

Likewise, the position of trivial things is intuitively perceived and controlled. People employ intuition most often in simple and trivial things in everyday life. The inspiration for the meaning of a life, considered over a long timespan, or the wisdom of overcoming deep troubles might at first look intuitive rather than rational; but these cases could be interpreted as the accumulation of brewed rationality too.

There are possibilities of pure intuition, which could be experienced by everybody. However, these possibilities are mostly ignored because of a lack of understanding how to use them. How to originate intuitive functions intentionally and how to improve their quality and quantity will be explained in this book. The sensation of artificial intuition has infinite and noble features. These features could be drawn into reality and could make it be sensed differently. Everybody can experience such transcendence with artificial intuition.

The need for a deeper understanding of a self arises when we reflect daily on our inner struggles. When the mind looks at ordinary objects intuitively, the pleasurable satisfaction obtained at the first stage gradually turns to a state of perplexity and obsessive indulgence. When we seek transcendence, we struggle to tap into purely intuitive inner resonances of the mind. Beauty would conquer the human mind because, when a self is intuitively seen, that form of beauty is perceived as the infinite. However, we quickly resort to familiar processes of rational thinking to understand our inner experiences. The mind needs to discipline the flow of thoughts and sensations so that the vital energy of the intuitive self could lead to transcendental normality. The primary goal of artificial transcendentalism involves the construction of a new normality for the self and its desires.

This book integrates Eastern transcendentalism and Western rational approaches to thinking and healing. This discipline seems to be helpful for finding a passage toward infinite transcendence but, unexpectedly, brings about the perplexed and frustrated instability of persistent wandering. Already existing, conceptual reason becomes the renovated vitality that leads to transcendental normality.

Gradually, this journey will indicate the direction of a noble life. People will happily prefer actualization of purity to hatred, prejudice, obstinate desire, and vain daydreams. Even if people select impure thoughts and behaviors in tough reality, the inclination for the beauty of transcendence will gradually influence tiny notions and emotions in everyday lives.

The meaning of artificial transcendentalism can be positioned between ordinary reason and unknowable mental voids. Both become renewed in the intuitive processes, which are filled with passion and despair. Ordinary conceptual reason reveals the transcendental destiny that leads to the most significant sensations and values.

This book casts dispersions on common misconceptions about Eastern thinking and healing processes. Westerners usually associate Eastern thought with Buddhism, but there is no universal system common to all Eastern cultures. This book makes a connection between Eastern transcendentalism and Western rationalism.

This book’s approach to Eastern thinking and healing processes is original.

The terms are defined so that any college-educated reader can easily understand them. High school students interested in philosophy, psychology, and religion can also understand the terms.

In Asia, the tradition of meditation is influential on all kinds of philosophy, religion, and medicine. Consequently, the shortcomings of meditation have been recognized and dealt with too. Mental disorders have been treated by means of both actual therapy and inclusive conversation. The side effects of mental passion are changeable entities, which could engender substantial progression.

In the United States, yoga is familiar nowadays. The fundamental mechanism is that physical discipline could lead to mental liberation and investigation of something fundamental. There is another way of mental progression, which is closer to rational normality and far from extraordinary experiences. Some intuitive artifices could be the mediums for breaching unexpected gaps in meditation and concentration. In short, the appeal of the book lies in its effort to thwart the frustration that usually accompanies meditation and transcendental practices.

People who are interested in pragmatic philosophy concerning the self would be interested in this book. This book is written in an easy logic and describes simple phenomena in a nonacademic way.

People who are interested in meditation, new-age healing, and yoga could obtain a different point of view from mechanical attitudes found in other sources.

People who are interested in connecting Eastern and Western thoughts will enjoy the fresh insights this book offers.

People will be closer to artificial transcendentalism, intuitively and naturally.

Author’s Bio

He is an oriental medicine doctor from South Korea.

South Korea has two different aspects of culture. He grew up in a totally Westernized big city of three million people and worked as a doctor in Seoul, the capital city of twenty million. Most young Korean students have struggled in studying English and mathematics for more than twenty years. Their passions have brought about concrete industrialization, and its symbols are Samsung and LG, global electronics companies, and Hyundai, a global vehicle company. As for the spiritual aspect, about half of the population is Christian. The methods of enjoying life are mostly Western, such as sports, movies, trips, concerts, and restaurants.

At the same time, Confucian and Buddhist traditions remain largely in every part of both real lives and values, especially in morality.

As for medicine, the Korean national health care authorizes both Western and oriental practices. People are open to both ways of handling human health. The author ran his own clinic in Seoul, Korea. He handled rigidity of muscles with acupuncture and imbalance of organic functions with herb medicine. He used acupuncture and herb medicine for both physical pains and mental disorders in his patients. Acupuncture and herb medicine are very familiar to Korean people.

For example, when a child gets pains due to falling down in a basketball game, a mother takes him to an oriental medicine clinic after they get the explanation from an orthopedist about the X-ray result. If bones are broken, the orthopedist treats the child. If not, the mother selects which way is better for muscular tension. As for mental disorders such as neurosis, insomnia, depression, and obsession, more essential acupuncture points and deeper compositions of herb medicine are selected.

The author is a professional person in the health field. He spent his youth studying medicine, Buddhist meditation, and Confucian sutras. Above all, he spent more than twenty years seeking something noble and essential in his own trials and errors. He has seen many differences about what is reality and what is efficient for the realization of nobility. Confucians, Buddhists, idealists, and materialists have different attitudes about what would be regarded as being agnostic and how to treat agnostic matters. He has seen how concentration works as a medium for strengthening loyalty and adherence to one’s firm beliefs. He has become acquainted with orthodox and free interpretations in the quest for noble truths and values.

His family is Buddhist and his wife’s family is Christian, and both families follow Confucian traditions. His wife and his friends are mostly pragmatic and not familiar with Eastern philosophical matters, and some speculative friends are materialists. They have kept him moderate, out of any kind of extremity. Now, he is forty years old, and he made some systems of adoring the truth.

Acupuncture and herb medicine foster relaxation and natural circulation in the structural complex of mind and body. Artificial transcendentalism could breach the gaps that occur between regions of thick congestion and mental instability. A surplus of peace in the mind could lead to a better sense of value in everyday life.

This book is his temporary passage through those various ways of thoughts and actual experiences, which always endow the dream with the right passage to reality.

He wishes that some unknown being would like his writing.

My father, my mother, my sister and my brother

saw my heart.

My wife, Leekyung,

sees my heart.

You

will see my heart.

I appreciate Monica Duchnowski, PhD, for her

encouraging advice and excellent editing.

CHAPTER 1

Intuitively Hypnotic

1. Actualization of an Immaterial Self in Reality

Moderation is necessary for people to handle thoughts in the mind. Extreme emotions and severe agonies make people frustrated with their own insecure identities. The core of the mind consists of a mixture of conceptions about views, rules, attitudes, and so on. In tough situations in life, the concepts in the mind are challenged by others’ concepts in reality, which look more brilliant and more plausible. People amend views and develop them into better wisdom. Sometimes, people are not satisfied with this level of gradual reformation. It is not only because some situations are extremely special, but it is because of the nature of the human mind. The mind is by nature inclined to something transformative. This desire for transformation is not adequate to be regarded as an imaginary daydream because this craving has the taste of pain and solemnity. It is a basic instinct to seek the truth beyond reality in spite of high possibilities of being astray and unstable.

To actualize such transformation, the mind might consider an alternative to rational speculation because rational thinking lies within the boundaries of adequate accommodation. Breaching the boundaries of universality would not be allowed by a rational function. Passing over the realm of reality requires a mode of functioning that is different from ordinary and familiar functioning. A new self emerges when it perceives a new object of sensing as a whole entity. The ascension of both subject and object is close to a state of transcendence. In everyday life, the mind does not recognize its own existence, but the mind is always in the state of being dissolved in real situations presented by harsh life. Life moves so fast, and the self as the main character of life is nowhere. When the mind alienates reality itself out of the mixture of reality and response, a
