The ShinsungHwa of Lester Levenson (2019): Visualizing the Invisible
Understanding Lester Levenson’s ShinsungHwa
In Lester Levenson’s spiritual portrait, we observe a large hexagon encompassing his entire being, alongside a silver hexagon that intersects with his path to the spiritual core. Another hexagonal form extends downward from his spiritual core, reaching toward the material world beneath his feet.
The Significance of Hexagonal Energy
The hexagonal patterns in this ShinsungHwa carry a fundamental meaning of attraction—the ability to draw surrounding energies toward oneself. This quality manifests as deep concentration and complete absorption, representing the power to focus and channel energy effectively.
Hexagonal structures appear frequently throughout nature, embodying principles of completeness, harmony, balance, efficiency, interconnection, and sacred geometry. In spiritual contexts, the hexagon symbolizes the integration of opposites and represents the perfect balance between contrasting elements. Its six equal sides create a manifestation of divine unity and interconnectedness, linking the spiritual and material realms.
However, this powerful geometric form requires mindful application. When hexagonal energy operates without proper balance, it can create excessive attraction of energetic information, potentially leading to disharmony and energetic imbalance. The key lies in understanding how to work with this natural pattern of attraction while maintaining equilibrium.
Quote
“All unhappiness is caused by our trying to be limited, to be an ego. The more we are our Self, the happier we are. We will never be completely happy until we are completely being our Self.”
_Lester Levenson
“Happiness is equal to one’s capacity to love.”
_Lester Levenson
“If we don’t like what’s happening to us in the world, all we have to do is change our consciousness – and the world out there changes for us!”
_Lester Levenson
“Feeling sad about anything is holding onto it. Say, ‘This is something I have to let go of,’ and immediately you will feel better.”
_Lester Levenson
“If you see misery, it’s your misery. When you see the perfection where the seeming imperfection seems to be, the misery is only an apparency.”

How One Man Turned His Worst Day Into His Greatest Gift
What would you do if doctors gave you weeks to live? Most people would despair. Lester Levenson chose differently—and transformed not only his own life but thousands of others.
A Brilliant Beginning
Born July 19, 1909, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Lester grew up in a typical middle-class family. Though shy, he was exceptionally bright. Driven to succeed the conventional way—good grades, college, career—he excelled at every step. He made honor roll and earned a coveted scholarship to Rutgers University.
Physics captivated him. After graduating in 1931, he spent two decades as a physicist and engineer, solving complex problems and earning substantial money.
When Success Wasn’t Enough
Despite his achievements and wealth, Lester’s body was failing. Depression, migraines, stomach ailments, kidney stones—his health crumbled systematically.
At 42, his second massive heart attack nearly killed him. Dr. Schultz delivered devastating news: there was nothing more medicine could do. The doctor even advised slip-on shoes—bending to tie laces might strain his failing heart too much.
Doctors sent him home to his Manhattan apartment overlooking Central Park with a grim prognosis: weeks to live.
The Breakthrough
Rather than surrender to despair, Lester’s scientific mind engaged. For three days, he sat terrified in his apartment. Then curiosity sparked.
He began questioning everything: “Who am I? What is true happiness? What do I actually want?” The revelation struck him—he’d been seeking happiness externally through money, relationships, and achievements. None had brought lasting fulfillment.
Then came his profound discovery: he felt happiest not when receiving love, but when giving it. This insight became his key. He focused on cultivating love while releasing anger, fear, and sadness.
The Miraculous Recovery
What followed seemed impossible. As Lester practiced this new approach, his body began healing. The heart condition, stomach problems, headaches—everything improved.
Within three months, he was completely well. More remarkable than his physical recovery was his inner transformation. He achieved what he called “imperturbability”—unshakeable peace regardless of external circumstances.
The Desert Teacher
Eager to share his discovery, Lester began teaching—always free of charge. He believed everyone deserved access to this knowledge.
Planning to relocate to California in 1958, he felt drawn to stop in Sedona, Arizona. Captivated by its red rocks and tranquil energy, he bought a farm and remained there.
From his Sedona base, Lester taught his release method to seekers from around the world. He lived contentedly until 1994, reaching 84—forty-two years beyond his doctors’ prediction.
Lester’s life-saving technique became the Sedona Method, built on a simple premise: our suffering stems from three core attachments—craving approval, needing control, and seeking security. By releasing these wants, we discover our inherent happiness.
