About Earth

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.

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.
