| Ilchi Lee on Civilization |
| From Ilchi Lee’s book The Twelve Enlightenments
To define “civilization” in simple terms, a civilization is the collection of tools and other things that make our lives more comfortable and bearable. Therefore, the basic characteristics of a civilization depend on how the people define “life.” When we define life only in physical dimensions and our value system reflect the limits of such one-dimensional definition, then our civilization is a “material civilization,” no matter how advanced the technology. A civilization may boast amazing technological advances, enviable amounts of information, and proficient use of energy; however, if the ultimate beneficiary of the above is the physical body, then that civilization is a relatively limited civilization, despite its advanced expressions of achievements. |
