Quotes from Ilchi Lee

Some changes we can control, but we find that many things are inseparably wired into the life we share in local, national, and global communities. For example, the healthy lifestyle you are determined to live and take to be a personal choice of which you have control, is heavily influenced and limited by the culture and industries of the communities you belong to.

Although we have refined our behavior over many centuries, the basic perception that we are individual beings, separate from the rest of the world, remains unchanged, and so how we relate to the world remains unchanged. Because separation is an illusion, control is also an illusion.

Through reflection, awakening, and choice we are able to exist as our true selves. However, this is not the end. In order for us to realize and put into practice the life purpose we have chosen, endless choices await us.

Dahnhak is not a way to gain enlightenment, but a way to actualize enlightenment. Dahnhak is a way to train yourself so that you can actualize the choices you have already made based on your enlightenment.

When you experience being present, there is no separation between you and other things. If you feel separate, you are already out of the present and returned to your familiar land of names and concepts.

The common factor in all our experiences is wakeful consciousness which turns what happens into an experience or a meaningful reality.

Consciousness can travel through space or can be present at multiple locations simultaneously. A conscious mind here can create a material change there, and is not limited by time and space or any physical forces.

Consciousness has power to create physical changes and requires no other medium than itself. It can reach the entire universe, inferring that consciousness energy is the very nature of the universe.

Because consciousness has no mass and extension, no parts or physical properties, it is Nothing, which on the other hand, can generate the matter and energy of the entire universe.

A tree does not complain That the earth is too dry or too rough That the rains do not come often With patience, forgiveness and harmony It does its best... fulfilling its mission.

LifeParticles are the particles of Nothingness that have attributes of being and nonbeing, and the particles of energy and consciousness, which are the essence of Life.

Recalibration comes from experiencing Nothingness, opening our awareness to emptyness as the ultimate reality and our essential nature.

Perhaps we have been dependent too long on language and thought, and need to reawaken our inherent sense of the subtle vibration of Energy-Consciousness. All you have to do is unblock the blocked parts and awaken the sleeping parts of your being to access it.

A soul can finally fly free as a bird only after its energy is lighter and has been purified.

You don't need to know everything that you want or need to do from the very beginning. Sometimes having a complete plan and trying to stick to it makes things more difficult. You just need to start, and then keep going.

Those who fully express their soul are peaceful, bold, and confident. They can be peaceful because they know that their essence is eternal, indestructible wholeness, and they are bold and confident because they know their own absolute value.

The language of Energy-Consciousness, LifeParticles, can be universal for all life-forms. To enliven it ask yourself, "How would I feel if …" and just feel - how other people feel, how the oceans, forests, animals and the Earth feel. Through this language, you can deliver your feeling and intent to others and consciously experience your connection to all beings.

No matter how much people recognize you, or how popular you are with them, you will be unhappy unless you acknowledge yourself. True recognition does not only come from those around you or the world. It comes when you recognize and love yourself

Stay at the center of your being without allowing your attention to become distracted by sensory stimulation. Be still and let your true nature manifest and shine through.

The life I am experiencing, good or bad, is the collective result of the choices I have made, knowingly or unknowingly. When I accept this, I acknowledge that I have the power to create my destiny.

As a phenomenon, life has a beginning and ending, but life itself doesn't. So, which one is truly me - a phenomenon that lasts only between birth and death, or life itself that underlies all phenomena?
