Incomprehensible Universe

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

The essential difference between the psychiatric approach to a spiritual problem and the shamanic approach to a problem is that the former tries to solve the problem through rational understanding, while the latter accepts the ineffable nature of human existence. Modern psychology has developed many useful ways of dissecting and dinning a problem. Shamanic traditions, on the other hand, accept that a vast, incomprehensible universe exists within each person, and that total understanding is an impossible goal. That is why, as Keeney describes it, primitive cultures move the person into the mystery of life, rather than avoid it through rational understanding of things.

I am told that the word heal in English is derived from a word meaning “to make whole.” I believe that Brain Wave Vibration offers this sort of wholeness to practitioners. It is fine to seek a rational understanding of the problems that trouble you, but ultimately you will need to go beyond the rational to really get in touch with the vastness of your being. Within that vastness, you will find the eternal wisdom and healing that has always been yours from the beginning of time.

Energy is the language spoken by your body

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

As it turns out, the membrane that surrounds the cell may be more important than genes in determining your state of health. The cell membrane senses and responds to the surrounding environment. In other words, it is the brain of the cell, receiving and interpreting messages from the body. But who talks to your cells on behalf of your body, telling them how to act? It is the same element that talks to your organs—telling your heart to beat and your lungs to breathe. It is your brain.

Energy is the language spoken by your body. You probably already know that your brain sends bioelectric signals to your organs and muscles through the nerve pathways in your body. But did you ever consider how your brain talks to your cells?

Not long ago, biologists believed that the cell membrane was relatively inconsequential, that it simply functioned as a containment system to absorb chemical substances as needed. More recently, however, biologists have looked more carefully at how the cell membrane responds to its surrounding environment. Bruce Lipton, a biologist studying how the cell membrane works, claims that the cell interprets its environment not solely based on chemical information but also based on energetic information.

Made up of clouds

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

The Creator is not here so that we may shift our responsibility over. We have to take responsibility as individuals, as a society, and as a world.

We can no longer be satisfied with praying alone. The Creator gives us a message but will not take the leading role in changing this world. No lightning bolts will fly out of the blue and strike down all the mass murderers in the world as examples of punishment to all evildoers. No wars will stop because an image of Jesus, made up of clouds, will look down upon a battlefield. It is up to us humans. We can make ourselves miserable or happy. We can destroy or save this Earth. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the Creator will save this world at the last moment. In words of Ilchi Lee the Creator did not make this world sick and will not make this world better. The Creator just makes sure that our hearts keep beating and the Earth keeps spinning. The Creators created us to do the rest. We are the Creator, creating as us.

About Earth

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Information by: Ilchi Lee

The values and beliefs we hold today are a reflection of our times. We should not make the mistake of thinking of them as eternal truths. Compared to the history of humankind, much less the age of the earth, these beliefs are less than a blink of the eye.

Earth is the most enduring thing that humans experience. No faith or beliefs of any kind are older than the earth. Placing the earth at the center of our value system is an obvious choice.

If we recalibrate our ethical and moral universe relative to the earth, then our stubborn beliefs about nations, states, and religions no longer seem so important. We realize that temporary, relative values have motivated pointless, small-minded warring throughout the millennia.

Ilchi lee Prof says only when we place the earth at the center of our value system and respect one another as fellow earth humans will we have found the basic foundation of peace.

Words can hardly do justice to the brother and sisterhood of humanity that I feel and wish to realize. Sometimes we have to invent a new term. In order to realize my soul plan I have created what I call the Earth Human Movement.

I use the words “earth human” to describe the state of consciousness that we will attain once we have experienced awakened awareness and have decided to take enlightened action. To become earth humans means that we realize and practice the oneness that connects us all.

earth human

Since the earth existed before nations, religions, or elasticities, our self-identification with the earth takes primacy over our self-identification with any other artificial classification. When we acknowledge the earth as the center of our values, then we can recognize ourselves as earth humans, first and foremost. The fact that we are earth humans is so obvious that it takes a while to realize. Before we are Americans, Koreans, or Japanese, we are earth humans. Before we are Muslim. Buddhist, Jewish, or Christian, we are earth humans. Earth human is, in fact, our truest identification.

If we redefine ourselves as earth humans, the chains of names, religions, ethnicities, and nationalities and their associated preconceptions will not limit us. When our highest common identification is as earth humans, then we will be fueled with courage to throw off the yokes of small-mindedness in any form. The future of our species itself is at stake.

We are all familiar with the state of peace. Peace is the natural state of mind of an earth human. Peace is not an abstract concept, a negotiated settlement, or a state of passivity. It is a state of human beingness. While peace partly depends on external circumstances, in our core we know that fundamentally peace begins in the individual. All HT skills are intended to develop, as a goal or side effect, our capacity to actualize peace. Peace must be felt as a bodily experience that we can consciously share with our fellow humans.

When peace has thoroughly permeated our brain, mind, and body, we can create it as our reality. I firmly believe that every person is a peacemaker, once they have developed their self-awareness and creativity. Peace must not be left to government leaders or gurus. It must spring from the brains, hands, and minds of the people.

Ki, The New Universal Language

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

The below post is written from research on Ilchi Lee about Ki.

When someone asks, “Who are you?” we most often tell them our name. When someone points to an object and asks, “What is that?” we tell the person the name of the object. However, the name of the object is not the object itself. How far or deeply or truthfully can your name represent who you really are?

Since a name by itself is a poor substitute for a person, we use other names or titles to specify our existence in this society. I am so-and-so, the wife of so-and-so … I am a student at a such-and-such college majoring in such-and-such subject … I graduated from such-and-such school and am working for such-and-such corporation …. This goes on. However long a list you put next to your name, you will never be able to adequately express who you are. No matter how long a name may be. it is just a trademark or a label on you, but not you yourself.

A person’s name, of course, is not the only kind of name in our language. Our linguistic system is composed of names. Nouns are names by definition; verbs are names of actions; and adjectives or adverbs are names of a shape or situation. Our awareness was trained and matured in this realm of names. Therefore, when we see an object, we automatically recall the name of the object, first and foremost.

The Human Road

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Let us assume that Earth is about five billion years old and the first ancestors to modern-day Homo sapient emerged from the primordial swamp (so to speak) about three million years ago. Even extending the average human life span to a generous 100 years old, three million years is a long time. No wonder we think that Earth is ours, since we have been here so long. However, compared to the five-billion-year history of Earth, our three million is not so impressive, especially considering that it was only 50,000 years ago or so that we started using tools and exhibiting possibilities for becoming the dominant species on Earth that we are now.

Or are we now? There are two facts cited when humans are claimed to be the dominant species. One, we monopolize the highest percentage of Earth’s natural resources. Two, we are the most threatening species, capable of annihilating other species and destroying the Earth. Therefore, humans are the dominant species on Earth in much the same way as the biggest bully on the block gets that way due to his size. We might argue that humans are different or special because of our intellectual pursuits and cultural achievements, but truthfully, do you think that Earth would be less beautiful or harmonious without Mozart’s symphonies or Shakespeare’s sonnets?

If we were to recognize the right of first claim to the land, then Earth would belong to the ants and cockroaches before it did to us. Since they lived here longer than we have, instead of spraying insecticides whenever we spot them, we should be paying them rent. Dinosaurs, which disappeared abruptly from the face of the Earth about sixty-five million years ago, were the dominant species on Earth for 150 million years. Compared to their reign, the human reign hasn’t even started yet.
