📖 Introduction
Have you ever felt like your mind is so full of complicated thoughts and heavy emotions that it might simply explode? Whether you are carrying the weight of decades of unresolved feelings, or just exhausted by intrusive thoughts that repeat dozens of times a day, carrying that mental baggage can be incredibly draining.
In this post, two individuals share their experiences of reaching that breaking point. By discovering that their heavy memories and emotions were simply “fake pictures” stored in the mind, they learned a practical method to finally empty them.
Read their stories to see how discarding these inner burdens can turn a mind on the verge of exploding into one filled with lightness, comfort, and profound gratitude.
💬 Story 1: “I Think It Was a Good Thing I Came”
By Jung Da-mi / Age 26 / Level 1
At first, I was half in doubt. Since it’s only a week, I came thinking let’s just consider it being tricked, but for about 3 days I thought a lot about just leaving. However, every hour as I meditated, I felt that many pictures in my mind were being discarded without my realizing it, and my stray thoughts disappeared little by little.
And amazingly, the pictures I had thought about dozens of times every day no longer came to mind. Although there are still things that haven’t been discarded to finish Level 1, without feeling impatient, I will continue to practice and slowly discard the pictures.
“It was only a 6-day period, but thinking that the things that exhausted and made me struggle were fake and pictures of the mind, amazingly, whenever I practiced, even bringing out the exact same pictures wasn’t agonizing and became comfortable.”
Now I am grateful to the pictures that led me to know this meditation, and I will continue doing the subtraction like that without stopping. Until I become the universe mind. I think once again that it was a good thing I came.

💬 Story 2: “That Something Filling My Mind, Me Who Felt Like I Would Explode If I Didn’t Empty It”
By Han Ji-won / Age 49 / Level 1
My mind coming to the meditation center was very complicated and confused. I wanted to have time to organize my 50 years of life, and I also wanted to create a new turning point. I also felt like I would explode if I didn’t empty those things filling my mind. Having made up my mind and coming here, I resonated with the explanation that the pictures I had taken were fake.
As I pulled out the pictures I took one by one and discarded them, the love, anger, and sadness I had hidden inside them flowed out, and my heart sometimes felt choked up.
“Feeling tears streaming down from my two eyes, I realized that even those emotions were fake pictures I had created.”
Discarding them according to the method, my mind gradually became lighter and my mood became refreshed. Those things that had filled my mind gradually disappeared, and I developed a broad mind. I am thankful for these times. I am thankful for the method of subtracting the mind, and I am grateful for creating these times.
