Like their sport of fishing, they have their bait and that is their presentation in their beliefs.
I have to admit the schools seem to be professional. Always clean, a sense of order to their knowledge. The respect line, which is obvious to others outside the school. This presentation sells their beliefs but, ultimately leads to the betrayal of the ignorance/naivete of others.
Master Kim started out with a business idea but now it has become the gospel truth, and the people who go into that style (way of thinking/knowledge)become the product of it. It doesn't matter how you are, who you are, how you are structured, it simply doesn't matter. You just go in there and become their product. All this does, is create a block against self realization of ones self.
Once this block has been set into place one loses their self image and now has become a carbon copy of the product the style is advertising. This type of control is wanted by those that are in need of structure in their lives. By the way a good many people are in need of this structure here in this country because of the lack of a good strong upbringing. All in all discipline.
And like ourselves we came to a realization that we don't need such structure because of our need to learn and grow in our own ways. Which I believe is a freedom that god gave us all. (Free will)
Bruce Lee stated it well when he said, 'Truth is nowhere to be found on a map.'Your truth is different from...mine. At first, you may think that this is truth, but later you discover another truth and then the former truth is denied--but you are closer to truth'
This describes to me the freedom of will. And that freedom is the ticket to understanding who we are as individuals. And that understanding of who we are is, what life should be all about. This then becomes maturity which should be a never ending process all the way into our graves.
Pray to those who have lost their free will.
