"The sacred spirit-training Chinkon [鎮魂] is applied to a man as self-discipline for acquiring a knowledge as to the Soul of the universe by deciphering physicographē of heaven. When one sits at Chinkon, he must sit straight and try to have a zero-state of mind, but with self-consciousness and a firm conviction that he himself is a god so that he may be made as sacred as a god. In this case, he must not try to create a mind-state of nihility or voidness, but he must let it be made naturally in his spiritual-self. This is the way of self-discipline or spirit-training at Chinkon to reduce or annihilate the ‘I’ to nothing."
