The problem is that most people seem to get stuck in this success phase, thinking it is the most important aspect of life. This is a little like a caterpillar thinking he can do no more with his life than spend it eating leaves all day.

In reality, the caterpillar has the ability to transform into a beautiful butterfly, just as you can transform far beyond success in the physical world. Not realizing this, many people choose material success only to feel unfulfilled when it finally arrives.

These perpetual caterpillars do not understand that there is one more stage, the most important stage that is the source of true and lasting happiness. This is the stage I call “completion of the soul.” Once you have accomplished success in the “real” world, however you choose to define that, YOU can achieve the butterfly stage by turning your mind toward a different kind of success in which you find full expression of your highest sense of self. This can begin anytime in life, but older adulthood is the ideal time, a time when many other longings have been fulfilled.

This greater cosmic energy I call Chun-ji-ki-un, which literally translates as “the circulation of heaven and earth energy.” To connect to this energy is to connect to the ultimate energy pulsing through all of existence—what some may call the Source and others call God.

There is a part of your brain that exists to connect to this energy. You can conceptualize it as a radio receiver picking up invisible messages from the cosmos. When your brain waves are agitated, it is like static interrupting the signal. Please use Brain Wave Vibration as a way to clear out the static and tune in to the greater peace and serenity of the cosmos.

At the Root of the Matter

Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.

Mark Twain writer

MY COMPUTER, I have two photos of two little boys, both about seven years of age. The pictures are very meaningful to me, although I don’t know either boy. One shows the face of a chubby little boy smiling blithely at the camera, and the other shows a picture of a starving bov sit¬ting on parched earth with a vulture lurking in the background. These are pictures that represent the imbalance we have created in the world, an imbalance that reflects the incomplete use of our brains,

All the problems in the world were created by the human brain, and within the human brain lie all the answers. To me, these photos are symbolic of the root causes of suffering in the world. If all human problems result from the human brain, they can also be solved by the brain. Imbalance in the world is a reflection of the imbalance within our bodies and brains.

As I gathered a larger number of students, I worked on developing more training methods, hoping to find the simplest, most effective means of returning people to physical, mental, and spiritual health. The results included Dahn Yoga, DahnMuDo (a gentle form of martial art), Jung Choong Breathing, and many other healing exercises and techniques. Many of these are very effective, but they all require a certain amount of guidance to understand and practice. I was still seeking the simplest mode of healing, one that could be instantly understood and practiced by anyone.

As the years went by, I began to realize the important role of the brain in the healing process. I had some indication of this connection years earlier when, in a moment of great epiphany, I felt sudden change take place in my own brain. It was like my head was about to explode, and then suddenly everything seemed clear and an unshakable sense of peace and oneness came over me.

Cellular health is critically important for your physical health because cells are the building blocks of your body. If your cells are not healthy, your body is like a building made of weak, dis¬integrated bricks.

Remember that all disease begins at the cellular level. All cancers, for example, begin with one mutated cell. When organs malfunction, this also begins at the cellular level. And the integ¬rity of the cells that make up the artery walls plays a big role in cardiovascular disease.

Fortunately, healing also happens at the cellular level. Your body has an amazing ability to heal and grow itself, which is what Brain Wave Vibration is all about. Through it, you can learn to communicate positive, healing energy to your body.

Brain Wave Vibration training helps synchronize your brain waves with the natural healing power contained within every cell of your body. You can start by making sure that the content of your thoughts is positive. Many studies have shown the im¬portant role of emotions and attitude in determining long-term health.
