Finding one’s true self is the key to personal development
Deep within every person lies an inextinguishable light. This is the consciousness of their true self. While many only ever catch a fleeting glimpse of this figure, it may be possible to become more familiar with it through a deep burning desire for personal development.
This is the basis of the Korean concept Bohn. It is used to refer to the one, the origin or the source. In traditional practices it talks about the source of true knowledge and wisdom and is seen as a springboard to personal development.
Throughout a person’s daily life they may obscure their true self. In gossiping with coworkers or chatting with neighbors they may put on masks that hide who they really are. After many years of this type of practice it may become difficult for a person to recognize themself.
This is why practices that help a person get in touch with their true inner identity are so important. They can help a lost traveler on the road to spiritual growth find their direction again and claim the knowledge and wisdom that they they began pursuing in the first place.
