Ilchi Lee Educating Brain, Dahn Yoga

World-renowned scholars, thinkers and social activists came together in Seoul, Korea on June 15, 2001 to attend the First Annual ‘New Millennium World Peace and Humanity Conference.’ They met to explore ideas concerning the concrete influence that spirituality can have on our current political, economic and cultural makeup.

The New Millennium Peace Foundation is a non-governmental, independent organization, founded in 1997 by Dr. Ilchi Lee and Neale Donald Walsch. Invited guests included prestigious academicians, journalists, activists, and experts in the fields of religion, journalism, culture, environment and most importantly, human potential. Distinguished guests included; Dr. Ilchi Lee, president of the NMPF and co-host of the conference, and Neale Donald Walsch, co-host and the world’s best selling author of the ‘Conversations with God’ series and founder of the ‘ReCreation Foundation’. Other honored guests were: Maurice Strong, senior advisor to the Secretary General of the United Nations and president of the United Nations University for Peace; Seymour Topping, administrator of the Pulitzer Prize and professor of international journalism at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism; Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker, senior pastor of Canaan Baptist Church, noted civil rights activist and former executive secretary to Martin Luther King; Jean Houston, world’s leading researcher on human potential and co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research; Hanne Strong, president of Manitou Foundation and an environmental activist; and Audrey Ronning Topping, a Pulitzer prize winning photo-journalist and author. The keynote speaker was former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, recently a visiting professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Ilchi Lee tells that I am honored and pleased to have had this opportunity to greet you through this book. This signifies that our paths have crossed and our souls have communed. As a token of my deepest appreciation, I would like to give you a most precious gift, a gift that you already possess but might not yet have realized. I would like to make a gift of the Earth. Now, open your hands wide and lift them to your chest. Imagine the bright, blue-green Earth slowly descending from the air and settling gently upon your hands. Feel the Earth in your hands. Feel the energy of the Earth. Feel your life energy reach for the Earth, mingling energy, and joyfully proclaiming your oneness. Feel the Earth in your hands become brighter, vibrating with joy and delight, transmitting this to you through your hands, arms, and heart.

Next, lift your hands, filled with the Earth, toward your head. Bring the Earth closer to your forehead. Feel the cool and comforting touch of the Earth on your forehead and gently and gradually guide the earth into your head. Inside your head, sense the spinning and vibrating of its’ awesome vitality and energy. Feel the light of energy and life shine forth from your forehead as your energy and Earth’s energy mingle in a dance of joyful oneness. You are now an Earth-Human, for you have just experienced Oneness with the Earth. How can you be anything less? You now have no choice but to express your love for the Earth, because it will be an expression of self-love. You are now a self appointed protector, keeper, and guardian of the Earth because you realize that your journey of self-discovery and spiritual completion begins and ends with the Earth. You are a child of the Earth.

Ilchi Lee offers this prayer of peace
To declare a revolution
Of the human spirit
I wish to announce that
It is now time
For all of us to spiritually awaken
And become enlightened
That the time for the enlightened few is over
That the age of elitist enlightenment has passed
For how long do you seek to wait for prophets
To come down from mountaintops
And tell us what to do
We all must become enlightened
To recognize our divinity
To raise up our consciousness
And proclaim our independence
From blind reliance on long ago sages
And find the answers from our own well
Of spiritual wisdom
We must ourselves become the enlightened ones
We must ourselves realize our Oneness
I declare that we must all become “earthlings”
Of the earth
And not of any religion, nation, or race.
But of this earth, for this earth, and by this earth
To create a lasting peace
On earth.
I offer this prayer of peace
With all my fellow “Earth-Humans” For a lasting peace on earth.

Ilchi Lee tells that It has been a long while since I slept more than three hours a night, not because I have superhuman strength, but because I have strength of vision. I cannot stop or pause until I have devoted my all to making my vision of a beautiful and peaceful earth into reality. I have carried this vision unchanged with me always, from a small park in Korea to where I am now, for this vision existed before anything that I have created since then. This vision is me … my mind and my soul. This vision is my enlightenment and my salvation. I do not exist apart from this vision. I do not have a magical formula for solving all the problems that face us today. However, we have the power of the enlightened mind and awakened soul. This is enough to start. It is a good beginning.

To open a new era, we need more than vision and hope. We need an action plan. You cannot build a house by just wishing for one. To build a house, you first need land, architectural drawings, building materials, and skilled workers. Only when all these are ready can you begin construction of a house. Similarly, to construct a house of peace on Earth, you need a blueprint for peace. the required materials and skilled people to build it.

We need a step-by-step guide to building this house of peace. The first step is a vision for the creation of a peaceful Earth village, a true community for all human beings, a dream of a spiritual civilization. Combine this with the will, discipline, and fortitude to see this vision through or die trying, and you will have built the foundation for this house of peace.

I want to create a beautiful world. I love the earth that 1 was born into, and this is the only home possible for me. I know that my roots lie buried deep and inextricably inside the heart of the earth. I travel around the world in search of people who are willing to share my dreams and visions. I actually find many who share my thoughts and concerns, but often they find it very difficult to act upon these concerns. They allow fear of change, and inertia of the moment, to carry them further down the river. They are afraid to create a new world.

I began doing what I do 20 years ago in a small, local park in Central Korea. I still remember what I told my very first student. “Although you are one person today, you represent the whole of humanity standing in front of me. That’s how precious you are to me.” Although that person was somewhat perplexed at my admittedly grand statement, I had conviction that my efforts would have a deep and lasting impact on the future of humankind and the earth. The strength of my conviction has only increased since then.

I am still searching for more and more people who will engage in this grand project … who will create the new spiritual-cultural revolution of the Earth-Human movement with me. We need a critical mass of one hundred million people. We need a strong community of one hundred million enlightened activists. Earth-Humans, to begin the process of breathing out. The first collective sigh of relief will not be a signal of capitulation, but of a new beginning, a new spiritual maturity. Humanity will have discovered the wisdom of breathing, the law of the cycle of life. Our breathing will be a sign our maturity.

Ilchi Lee tips on Dahn and Hak Yoga.

The truth that humanity must collectively pursue must be truth that has real, constructive power.  Ilchi Lee writes that truth must embrace the power of Oneness that can overcome differences in nationality, ethnicity, and religion. Such must be the nucleus of the Truth. However, a new and better world will not come about just because we recognize the Truth.

The Earth’s environment will not renew itself overnight simply because we declare ourselves enlightened. Not just because we sing and dance in harmony and delight, will a spiritual civilization be born.

As with anything of lasting worth, an action plan needs to be formulated and acted on, with sincerity and fortitude. Truth must be actualized on Earth to have a lasting power. We must create a legacy of Truth through the transformation of our civilization. In this grand project, individual enlightenment has little meaning. Whole groups, organizations, and nations must become enlightened: Enlightenment must become common sense and Truth a matter of course. Only then will we herald the beginning of a spiritual civilization.

The only way to awaken the seed of enlightenment and truth inside the human heart is through the human brain. Through the brain the truth will be translated into action and the sharing of enlightenment. In the era of spiritual civilization, the time of mere ‘god-worship’ must be over, and a new time of ‘god-use’ must come to fruition. This must be the age in which we do not merely worship a passive god, but use god for the growth of the human spirit.

God is another name for Truth. How long shall we continue to create truths for own convenience, worship them, then continue to destroy and pillage, justifying everything in the name of God? How long shall we continue to worship the ideas of mercy, justice and charity, praying and paying lip service to their sanctity and desirability, while caging them in a prison of religious and ideological dogma, never taking them out to use? Let us now use mercy. Let us now show clemency. Let us now demonstrate justice. There will never be peace without justice, nor will there be harmony without mercy and charity. This era must be an era of the utilization of truth.

Here is the result of our first review contest. We got 35 contribution and almost all contributions were awesome reviews! So it made our life tough in deciding the best review. So finally we have decided to give our prize to a random winner.

We chosed Random.Org’s Ramdom integer generator for picking up a radom winner (its a standard approach in most review contests). Each contributor was assigned a number and then when I clicked generate it has given number 11. You all know I did not pick the winners, so don’t blame it on me! Screw random.org.

Human civilization is essentially externally driven. “Stronger, higher, and faster” is not only the aim at the Olympics, is the thrust of human civilization. This kind of external motivation inevitably results greed and conflict. The result is our current civilization, which is obviously in crisis.

We must shift to a civilization in which Earth is the center of all “living” values, and by which we can overcome our differences in social and cultural values. We must create a civilization in which Earth-Humans are the principle actors and in which we live by the principle ot harmonious living. We must create a civilization in which all people realize that their true purpose in life is to nurture their soul, and in which all people can be creative, productive, and peaceful. We need a New Human civilization founded on the concept of “Universal Benefit to All Humanity – Rightful Harmony to all the World.”

Ilchi Lee is founder of Dahn Yoga and he suggest that what should we call this new civilization? I choose to call it a Spiritual Civilization, to emphasize our understanding of the limitations of a purely material civilization. This new civilization will not reject material things, nor give up the notion of technological and material advancement. However, we will define growth and maturity in a new way. Spiritual civilization does not stand on the opposite shore from material civilization. It encompasses and surpasses the great successes of the latter.
