Extract from Ilchi Lee’s book
To heal humanity and the Earth there must be a world wide, socio-cultural movement that goes beyond the sphere of individual intentions and good deeds. Earth-Humans must be the driving force behind this movement. This is our Vision. We must join with many others on this path… for our Vision will require the gifts of many. We must overcome prejudice, and work with people from all cultural, national, and social backgrounds to make our Vision a reality. Earth-Humans will be the leaders of the long overdue movement to establish lasting peace on Earth.
Healing Society Movement, or the Earth-Human Movement, is a socio-cultural movement based upon our collective realization of our enlightenment, expressing it in terms of our love for the earth and the humanity and realizing health for the community and the society. Health does not refer to the physical health alone, but to the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health – when all these four dimensions of health are achieved can we say that we are healthy. I started this movement twenty years ago in a small, local park, teaching Brain Respiration calisthenics to one person – now it is being taught in over 3,000 place in Korea, in addition to centers in the USA, Europe, and Japan. However, my original aim remains true: to heal this society and the world.
There are many aspects to healing. On the level of the individual, healing means to recover lost physical and mental health. This is to facilitate free and unimpeded flow of life energy to the body, and to restore original brightness and purity to the soul by nurturing it with hope and courage. Healing society means that after individuals attain health and enlightenment, they help each other on the journey of completion of the soul.
