The Legends of Controlling the Weather and Ben Hurr

The story was told of how centuries ago, a general in what is today Vietnam could control the weather and turn night into day. Thus he ruled the land for many years.

It was said that kim/park could do the same. That he 'connected with nature' as evidenced by his understanding of higher forms Kyung Gong Sulbope, (body light as a feather or can fly depending on
who tells it) Waegong Bope (the ability to understand and move like any animal) and Nae Gong Bope (ability to externally project internal energy in the form of heat, light or wind).

Later the story of directing lighting was told.

Much later when the farm started, sod was put in place and rain was needed so… he made it rain but it was a gradual buildup thing and the adjacent areas received some too so it would not look obvious.
Yeah, that might be a give away, not that there was a cult on Book road or anything.

Another time one year in late December, kim/park wanted 'instructors around' so he made it snow, it snowed over a foot, much of it in Naperville with little elsewhere. Locally heavy snow storms are typically confined to a small area but it was still
weird. This was one of the largest gatherings at the farm calling all second degrees and up, subject to approval.

The Jeep pick up was used as a chariot dragging several toboggans, sleds and sometimes unfortunate ones who fell off the Jeep or other platforms as the train careened around the pond at a good clip. It
was fun but dangerous, a few, mostly friends and not instructors, had the wind knocked out of them and were shaken up but were otherwise o.k. after they fell off. Easily it could have been different.

There was a snowmobile too but it was nowhere as extreme as the Jeep, which with kim/park at the helm, would take sharp turns resulting in inventory turnover of sorts, but those standing by the
wayside from earlier passes would then jump on the available slots.

This went on for a couple hours. The objective was not to get caught standing around lest a regional convince you to jump onto 'Ben Hurr,' as the procession was known.

Terrorists, any higher belt than you or you if a lower belt happened by, would occasionally jump on one of the sleds as they rocketed past. The result was a freewheeling forward roll exercise for both
passenger and terrorist. My personal record was something like 8 rolls non-stop due to momentum, laughing so hard I almost choked.

Ben Hurr was dangerous, but we felt we were being looked after and physically in good shape, though I nearly lost balance in the Jeep bed and sensed that would have been painful. So I stuck to the sleds
when possible.

I noticed many higher belts seemed genuinely concerned when the sleds were first hooked up. Forrest just laughed and chided them to
climb aboard. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. It was told that Ben Hurr was also used during the summer, which would not have been as fun.

No form was passed, we were there for 'the chance to be around.' Occasionally kim/park might speak to an individual, mostly to find out or 'check' on personal issues, which now seems likely to have been for ulterior motives.

Did he care about everyone, or were we just there for his amusement? Tend towards the latter given his handling after some attendees fell off a sled. From a bit of a distance I looked right at him, it was
like he read my thoughts, should be more careful.
