Dr. Ilchi Lee on character and success

burnedbright on Jan 24th 2008 08:12 pm

Here’s a great excerpt from ‘principles of Brain Management’ by Ilchi lee,

As you move toward your goal, remember that no one is going to hand success to you on a silver platter. It will only come through diligent hard work and continuous refinement of your character. These things, in a way, are more important than achieving the goal itself.

A diamond is just a lump of coal until it is turned into a diamond through constant pressure. You also can be transformed by the pressures you face. Rather than becoming discouraged or destroyed by them, let them shape you into a stronger, more refined human being. Like a diamond, you can gain amazing durability while also remaining pure.

In fact, true greatness in life is really a matter of character. Many people have achieved fame and fortune of some sort. But what makes a person truly great? What makes a Mahatma Gandhi or a Martin Luther King Jr. stand out among people? If you look closely, you will see that the only significant difference is character. On the bodily level, they were no different than ordinary people. They were composed of ordinary flesh and bone, and they did not possess any special superpowers. Even their brains were just ordinary brains. But they used those brains with an astounding level of pure conviction that transformed their characters beyond the ordinary plane of human existence.

To use your brain to its fullest potential, you must develop a similar level of conviction about what you want to contribute to the world. Then, like a cut diamond that sparkles from every angle, you will radiate pure light to everyone you meet.

Ilchi Lee on the Current Educational System

burnedbright on Oct 26th 2007 09:15 pm

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.

This is why we need more BE classes!

Suffering, Transience, Selflessness Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of the Chun Bu Kyung

/Sam/ Three

Life is suffering. Everything changes. I don’t exist. When we open our eyes to the fact that our body and emotions are not who we are, that’s when we see through the suffering and transience of life to discover the living divinity that moves within us.

I learned these lessons in the Tao Fellowship program after shim sung. Everyone should take tao fellowship at least 3 times. It really awakens your brain!

Ilchi Lee says great love springs from indifference

Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of the Chun Bu Kyung

Image

/Ji/   Earth, Land, Ground

The Earth grows all things and richly, but is not obsessed with them. The Earth is also indifferent, sending off the lives it has raised when their time comes. The great love that embraces all things springs from that indifference.

There is such beauty in indifferent unconditional love.

Ilchi Lee on the Now

burnedbright on Oct 10th 2007 08:48 pm

There is great power in the now. Like Dr. Ilchi Lee many present day philosophers such as Echkard Tolle, author of the Power of Now, are teaching us the importance of staying present in the moment. With my Dahn practice I am able to be here and now a lot more!   Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of the Chun Bu Kyung

Image

/Mu/  Nothingness, Never/No/Not, Zero

There is nothing in the Now. There is neither joy nor sorrow, success nor failure. In this instant, immeasurable by the concept of time, we are capable of infinite creation.

Sit down comfortably. As you control your breathing, have your mind watch your body. And tell yourself, “It’s okay.” Then your soul will find rest, and your body, too, will find comfort and new strength.

/In/  Human, Humanity, Man/Woman

All human beings are part of a whole, inseparable from the soul of humanity; by their very nature, they are eternal spiritual beings. All humans, therefore, intrinsically pursue spiritual growth.

Everyone please wake up and realize this! We are all one.

Sit with your spine erect and your balance centered in your lower abdomen. With one side of your body placed firmly on the ground, let the other side be open toward heaven. You will feel your own holiness when your body links Heaven and Earth as one.

I am a holy soul!!!
