Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim continues with the topic:
You should always strive to look at yourself impartially, like a doctor examining a patient for the first time – studying the symptoms, trying to gain insight into the source of the trouble, and prescribing the appropriate cure. Only by being willing to constantly look at your weaknesses can you constantly do something about them. This becomes a way of living, and this process requires the inner power steps of love and loyalty: love of your real self, and loyalty to your goals.
Love and loyalty are important, because when you actually start living out what your inner voice, your Silent Master Consciousness tells you, new challenges are guaranteed to arise to test your commitment. The higher a tree rises in the sun, the longer the shadow it casts. The greater your achievement, the greater the tests that come. Some challenges at this stage may appear just as negative as certain experiences prior to the knowledge of your Silent Master. But there will be a difference now, because you will know you are not a victim. Now you will know your true self is greater and more powerful than anything that threatens to take away your natural joy and freedom.
This is the kind of newness and excitement and discovery you were born to experience. Life is magic in that it unfolds every moment in a new way, darting off in a new, unexpected direction, depending on your focus. But life is also a science, which you can learn to operate and enjoy with exactness and understanding. To be reborn into your true identity is an exhilarating goal. The prize is worth the price of any effort.
