When you have awakened to your soul, you will realize the true meaning of choice. Through awakening, Dr. Ilchi Lee says that we will truly be able to choose freely and to be master of our own lives. By being present to our soul, we can become masters of the information that defines our lives, instead of being mastered by it. We can utilize information by choice. The soul is able to see the world objectively, realize what is needed, and work to fulfill the requirements of Dahn Hak.
Enlightenment is not for just a few “special” people. Enlightenment must become the new standard of common sense in this world. The future of human society on Earth has no hope without this state of enlightenment.
The realization that you have an innate desire to be beneficial to the world, and that you have divine goodness within, is enlighr-enment. Enlightenment is not a big deal, or a fantastic occasion with fanfare and trumpets. Enlightenment is to know who you really are, no more and no less.
Professor Ilchi Lee explains taht enlightenment does not come to you through some special communication. Enlightenment is a choice. Enlightenment is discovering who you really are. Enlightenment is a matter of knowing that you are not merely the result of different bits of information, but the essence of life without beginning or end. In a word, your true reality is your soul.
Ilchi Lee information about Yoga Program.
According to Ilchi Lee point of view we all share a common human dream. This dream goes beyond our individual needs to include family, community, society, and the world. No matter what type of job we hold, we all have a desire to make the world we live in a better place. We all want to be Hong-Ik-In-Gan, or a Widely Beneficial Person.
And therein lies the key to opening up the full potential of the brain for Yoga Exercises. When we become conscious of the whole world instead of the world defined by “me,” our brain will be stimulated to tully utilize its abilities for Hong-Ik. We will set into motion the process by which the whole potential of the brain is engaged in making our wish come true, finally glad to have this opportunity to truly express itself.
We talk a lot about the soul. Every human being has a soul. Your soul is in your heart, pure and active. A ruthless mugger who has robbed hundred of people can still feel a momentary pang as he walks by a crippled old beggar rustling through a garbage can A multiple murderer can still have feelings for the suffering of a child with cancer. Even the worst of us still have that gem of purity and love.
When a sudden desire to help somebody pops into your head without calculation or expectationm, it’s your soul talking. All of us have had this experience. Your soul is always talking to you. But there are people who listen to that voice and then there are those who think, “Hey, I’ve got my own problems!” and drown out the beautiful aound with their own little human noises. Even now, when you really want to hear your soul speaking, you can. And when you hear it, you grab on to it and never let it go silent. Make that sound grow larger in volume until it drowns out all the petty cacophony in your life with a loud, beautiful symphony.

If you think you are the bad seed, what kind of motivation do you have to put yourself on the right path? Only when you start believing that you have the blood of Jesus, the Buddha, Moses, and all the other prophest and saints in you can you start believing in the possibility of your own goodness. and at the moment of belief, you will feel the blood of pure goodness course through you like some live electrical wire, slowly gaining in strenght. Only with belief in your goodness can your start being good, begin finding your True Self.
So, it’s choice you have to make. Whose blood will you let run through your veins? Cain’s or Jesus’? Cain’s or the Buddha’s? Cain’s or the prophets’? Ultimately, this is your blood, our choice. Make the right choice. Make the choice that will lead you to your True Self.
Ask Ilchi Lee
Our history is one of struggle and conflict rising out of the need for power and strength. It is a history of hate and animosity. This happened because we didn’t let the farmer in us take over and lead us on to the path. If you don’t allow your True Self to shine through, you will always live in the midst of fear and darkness, in effect, allowing yourself to run around in the fields when the path was right there in front of you. And in darkness, you fall into the trap of self-serving emotions, eogtism, and complexes, Within this trap, it is impossible to develop understanding and sense of cooperation.
Hate has been building up for decades, centruries, and millennia, and we do not know when this will explode. It has almost been our birthrighgt to inherit the hates and prejudices that our ancestors held. This is the Original Sin. In the Bible, there are Cain and Abel. Who did Cain kill? His brother, Abel. They say all human beings descended from Cain. They say we have the blood of a murderer coursing through our veins. But we also have the blood of the saints running through our veins. We have the blood of the countelss enlightened ones, whether they are known or not, intermixing with Cain’s blood and giving us life.
Ask Ilchi Lee
Which of the two do yu have more of in you? The cow or the farmer? In many of us, the cow is stronger and is dragging the farmer around, wandering all over the field, lost, and without a specific destination. It is only when you let the farmer take hand and direct the cow that you will find yourself on the right path, because your True Self knows where it wants to go.
Why do you feel anxious and fearful? Why do you feel a tearing of your emotions? It is because you are letting the cow lead the farmer.
Your True Self is the light, the beacon by which you should guide your life. Your have to let it shine. Otherwise, you are living in darkness, wandering helplessly among the fears and anxieties that surround us. In the darkness, even the fleeting light of the firefly looks bright. And you spend all your energies chasing after these lights, not even realizing that a far greater light lies inside you. Don’t spend all your time chasing after a momentary high. The single biggest source of health and happiness lies within your True Self. If you search within your True Self, you will find absolute health and everlasting happiness. If you search within your petty needs and greed, you will wander the darkness forever. Without lighting up your True Self, you won’t find out what health and happiness truly mean.

If you want to be happy, stop waiting for others to make you happy.
Just decide to be happy. If your life seems too dreary, smile anyway.
This may seem like Pollyanna, pie-in-the-sky nonsense at first, but it is very much rooted in the physiological reality of your brain.
Also, smiling is contagious. Very few people can resist urge to smile back when you smile at them.
As wonderful as a smile is, laughter is even better.
The old saying “Laughter is the best medicine” is literally true.
Laughter boosts the immune system and reduces the stress response, and thus is excellent for brain health.
Furthermore, good attitude and lots of positive social interaction seem to reduce the risk of dementia and other aging-related brain disorder.
A happy brain, it seems, is a healthy brain.
Always remember to “surprise your brain” Easy, familiar tasks do not offer the best stimulation for your brain or that of your child.
Tasks that are awkward at first are in fact the once that create more new connections in your brain.
So always be persistent in the mastery of these activities, and deliberately seek out new challenges for your brain.
What would you really like to do with your brain that you
from the book ‘brain wave vebration’ by ilchi lee
’ve never than before.
The journey consists of a single seed of thought, which flowers and withers, returning to its original place.
People often call the end of this journey “enlightenment
”.
What does enlightenment mean? What do you have to know to be enlightened?
Is enlightenment the end?
What could be behind enlightenment?
The crux of enlightenment is that there is nothing to be enlightened about.
When you realize that there is nothing to be enlightened about, that is enlightenment.
Does it sound funny? Fishy?
