I told them, “All we have to do is play well with each other. All the problems we face now in this world came about because we, as human beings, could not play well with each other. We don’t play well with ourselves, first of all. Second, we don’t play well with other humans. Third, we don’t play well with other groups. Fourth, nations don’t play well with other nations. Fifth, races don’t play well with each other. Ilchi Lee writes nor do religions play well with each other. We don’t even play well with the environment. And do you know why we don’t play well? Because we have never been taught to how to play well. Our education so far has taught us to differentiate, to compete, to create rivals. If we play well with nature, our environmental problems will be gone. If we play well with other human beings, the difference between the haves and the have-nots will disappear. If religions play well with one another, then religious wars will end. If races play well with each other, racism will be a thing of the past. Playing well is the solution.”

And this is truly what I think the solution is. So far, the information in our brains has misled us into competing against one another. These types of information, instead of controlling them, are controlling us. It we as individuals can train ourselves to control and detach ourselves from the type of information that forces us to always compete, if we process our information better through our divine filter, if we use our brains the way they are intended to be used, then the problems will just disappear. Because we will have made conscious choice to be enlightened. Because we will have set into motion the Spiritual-Cultural Movement that will teach us all how to play well with one another.

Yet, as I mentioned before, individual enlightenment that does not make a concrete difference in society is no enlightenment at all. We are not looking for just one more enlightened being to walk among us. We are all looking to be enlightened beings ourselves. To that end, we need to form a society of New Humans, whose goal will be to effect a total transformation of the human spirit, and to collectively recover our sense of True Love.

When I was twelve, I asked a close friend to go swimming with me in a lake. Although he didn’t want to, I convinced him anyway. So, we were swimming when he drowned. I almost drowned myself trying to get him ashore. Then what could I do? I didn’t even know CPR then. So, I carried his lifeless body back to his house, almost four miles, and placed it in the yard. His parents went crazy with shock and grief, and if the neighbors hadn’t stopped him, my friend’s father would have beaten me to death right then and there. To know more read Ilchi Lee notes.

Ilchi lee suggests undermentioned elements :
Enlightenment is choice.
Enlightenment is courage.
Enlightenment is finding your True Self.
Enlightenment is recovering True Love.
Enlightenment is celebrating the Yuln’yo in your heart.
Enlightenment is a goal you can reach through training.

Enlightenment is all these and more. And all these and more can be achieved by letting your awareness take a trip down to your brain stem, in which lies the seat of the Creator Within and the direct route to the Cosmic Order. We are no longer in an age in which we can easily go off into the mountains for spiritual training or meditation. It is true that some yogis and monks, and even a few “regular” people are able to do exactly that, living a life of ascetic simpleness and hardship, perhaps even finding enlightenment at the end. For the majority of us, however, such a life is simply impossible. We need a realistic and everyday form of spiritual training to help us find the answers to life’s ultimate questions. And that is the role that Brain Respiration seeks to fill.

With Brain Respiration, we can ride upon waves of energy vibration and embark on a spiritual adventure to find our True Selves. Simply put, Brain Respiration is the Way to Enlightenment for the Everyman.

Two books authored by Ilchi Lee, “Brain Wave Vibration: Getting Back into the Rhythm of a Happy, Healthy Life” and “In Full Bloom: A Brain Education Guide for Successful Aging” (this one co-authored with Jessie Jones, PhD), won Arizona Book awards! These awards, also known as Glyph Awards after the first form of writing, are given by the Arizona Book Publishing Association to books by Arizona publishers, authors, or settings, that demonstrate excellence in craftmanship and creation. “Brain Wave Vibration” (www.brainwavevibration.com) won in the Psychology/Self-Help category and “In Full Bloom” won in the Health/Wellness/Nutrition category. Both Ilchi Lee and the books’ publishing company, BEST Life Media (www.bestlifemedia.com), are based in Sedona, Arizona.

Ilchi Lee is the creator of Dahnhak and brain respiration, a comprehensive system of physical and mental exercises that seeks to use the energy. He says just imagine how nice it would be to rid of bad, negative, and useless information that is cluttering up your brain. Of course, human brains do naturally forget information through diseases and old age, but information that is accompanied by emotional turmoil or shock does not go away as easily. A person who had been embarrassed singing a song as a child will still recall it with fresh vividness when he is an adult, making him reluctant to sing, even though he might be a good singer. Negative information is just like a computer virus, destroying and wreaking havoc once inside.

Up to now, we have generally been ruled by our information. A fortuitous meeting with a good piece of information may change our lives for the better, while a bad piece of information can lead us down a path of selt-destruction. On the strength of one piece of information, we may laugh with joy or cry with grief. It is time to control the flow of information, not be controlled by it. This is only possible when we believe in the power of our own brain and utilize it. Everyone has a brain, but few know how to fully use it. The brain is a funny machine in that it runs smoother and does more things the more you use it.

Today, the most advanced nations in the world are competing against one another to fund research that delves deeper into the mystery that is our brain. However, those research studies generally concentrate on the biological and structural nature of the brain. Little research deals with how to develop methods to use our brains better.

Yet, the most important issue is not how brains function, but how to use our brains to their fullest potential. Ilchi Lee recommended a typical human being is said to use only five to ten percent of his or her brain potential. Even Einstein is reputed to have used only ten percent of his brain potential. This is akin to using the CRAY Supercomputer to run a word processing program. How to develop the hidden potential of our brain to use to better the quality of our collective lives? That is the research subject for the twenty-first century!

There are many known functions of the brain that we are not utilizing well even now, although we know about them. Chief among these is the information-processing power of the brain. Just as we can input and delete information in regular computers, we can input and delete information in our brains. And our brains have the amazing capability to create information—something that not even the most advanced computer can emulate.

They realized that everything in physical life is an illusion and that their True Selves lie in higher dimension. But many of them hid themselves from the world at large until they died. Others killed themselves. Why go on living in this illusion? What fun is there after you have seen through the veil of disguise? If you know, truly know, that all the things around you are temporary and illusionary, what could there possibly be on this Earth to keep you here? Therefore, many enlightened ones said good-bye to this world in one form or another, quietly and without making themselves known. It was here that they failed. They failed to love. Truly. They understood enlightenment only as awareness, not as experience.

Some may argue that they allowed themselves to fade away because they realized that it was not yet time for their enlightenment to be actualized or for their teachings to be propagated; that they knew they were born at a time in which the seed of enlightenment could not possibly germinate. And so they disappeared without making themselves known. Maybe so. But such thoughts are fundamentally defeatist. Read more about enlightenment, checkout articles by Prof Ilchi Lee.
