Some interesting information in words of Ilchi Lee in his book about subject. If I didn’t finish out today, then I would have failed. The ninety-nine days before would have been for naught. With that in mind, I sat like a stone statute in the middle of a snow-covered field, braving the skin-biting wind. I think it was about minus twenty degrees Celsius. I had trained before in weather about minus ten degrees, and was able to fight off the cold by accumulating and directing the flow of energy around me. But this was severe cold. My body shook and my breathing became haggard.

I just accepted the cold. I wanted to wait it out. I would watch what this extreme cold was doing to my body. I said to myself, “Let’s see how cold it really gets and what it does to me.” After a short while, my body started going numb. After that, my breathing became even more difficult. I was losing consciousness, slipping into a warm haze. I wanted to get up at that time, but I couldn’t. My body was no longer mine to command. It was too late. I was going to freeze to death right there. So, I gave up.

I mean, really gave up. I didn’t give up just in words, thoughts, or mind even, but totally. I gave myself up in absolute completeness to God above to do as He wished. God is not stupid. God doesn’t get suckered into helping you because you say that you will do something. God knows when you mean something with your whole being. So, when I felt.
