Without a goal, we have no choice but to endlessly chase after the thoughts of others. We envy those who know more or have more than we do, and we live out our lives completely forgetting our own brains. Such things happen to us often unless we are focused on ourselves.

Currently, all standards of school education are adjusted to the needs of the school rather than those of the child, to the teacher or administrator rather than the learner. And the method of teaching, too, is heavily weighted toward unilateral indoctrination rather than individual intellectual development.

Breath is the most natural and immediate expression of life. Inhaling and exhaling, expansion and contraction–this rhythmic cycle maintains its specific and mystical order even in the midst of disorder. Breath is the epitome of perfect balance, cycle, and rhythm.

I would urge you to reconsider anytime you say to yourself “I can’t do that” or “I am no good at that.” If you “can’t sing,” start belting out songs whenever you get the chance. If you have “two left feet,” get out there and start dancing the night away. Be unabashed about your inability and magnanimous in the face of embarrassment. Your brain will thank you for it, and you might just have a whole lot of fun in the process.

Ilchi Lee on Recovering Your Health

Be thankful for reality. Disease enters our bodies because of our resentment. The way to revive our ki is to show gratitude to ourselves. By doing this, our ki revives, we develop confidence, and experience joy. If we don’t know how to be thankful to ourselves and how to be grateful for our destinies, We develop a constant, stifling feeling in our chests and our hearts become anxious. Darkness comes over us when we forget gratitude. Within that darkness many states of mind come to us. Sadness, loneliness, anger, and resentment of others find a place within us. There is an energy within our bodies that enables us to recover and be very healthy. It manifests itself when we acknowledge ourselves and show gratitude. Do you feel energy circulating and flowing in your body? Are you thankful for that energy? Try to have a grateful heart.

A signal reaches a radio or cell phone through the frequency of its carrier wave. Information is communicated by that frequency. It would be good, wouldn’t it, if you could draw into yourself the energy of health, happiness, and peace? How do you adjust your frequency? Various frequencies and many kinds of information are found in the universe. They ultimately create who you are now. The way to draw into yourself the frequencies you want, ultimately, is found in your face. Close your eyes and create in your mind a state in which no frequency at all enters. You’re obtaining stability of mind in this way. Feel the peace within that state. Next, focus on your lips. Create a happy energy as you form your mouth into a smile. And then bring your mind to your eyes, your nose, and your forehead. It is in such a face that peace dwells. It’s something you create. It’s free of any condition. The instant you create it, hormones are secreted in your brain. If you set yourself to that frequency, the energy of the universe will continue to enter your body. Light will come out of your whole body. That light of will illuminate the world. You can send that light, that peaceful energy, wherever you want. Then you will become the light of the world, a lamp shining in the darkness.

I realized how much I didn’t trust myself and denied.

You must trust yourself if you want to develop the good thoughts that you have. “I am a truly valuable and precious being. I am great life. I am a great soul.” Such a realization is needed. “Ah! So my thoughts are extremely important!” This will grow like a seed as you continue to develop it. And, like a continuously spun thread, it can be formed into something useful, like a pair of gloves or socks.

If something doesn’t work out for them right away, many people despair and end up resenting others and unable to trust themselves. Then the thread of the determination they had at first snaps. It takes time for the thread of a beautiful thought to be woven into a tapestry, but that thread breaks in such people. The thread of their thought breaks the instant they no longer trust themselves, are resentful of their environments, and blame others. And so, sometimes, they start to knit a pair of socks, but give up after creating just a toe. They then decide to make this into a pair of mittens, but abandoned the project after making only a thumb. They start trying to make a hat out of what they have, but then quit. The project ends up being something that is neither sock nor hat. I’m telling you that once you have made up your mind to create a pair of socks, then see the project through and make those socks. And the project itself should be really joyful. People will gather to you only if you’re joyful.
