Quotes from Ilchi Lee

Your ideas, thoughts and intentions are the seeds of creation, and your attention is the powerful tool that drives energy toward the object or outcome that you want to create. Your positive emotion and passionate action add power to the creative process.

We have been granted permission to use the resources of Earth in all their glorious abundance for our education and growth in life, and we have a responsibility to return them to their rightful place, as much as possible in their original condition.

Continuous external growth, like continuous inhaling, is not sustainable. But because we have been inhaling for so long, consuming for so long, even though we see that it can't go on this way, we don't know how to alter the pattern. We have to recover our natural sense of balance . . . only when we exhale can we inhale again, and that's how life continues.

For most people, meditation is associated with relaxation and peace of mind, and these are the practical reasons many people seek out, learn, and practice meditation. However, relaxation and peace of mind are only half of the uses of meditation. The other, probably more important aspect, is for creation.

Breathing is the master key of life.

I realized that the confidence, power, and wisdom to create changes in our life come from knowing what we really are, from knowing our changeless nature.

Absolute truthfulness, and conscience as its manifestation, are within everybody. Acknowledging it is wisdom, and living it is virtue.

We as a species have not realized the most precious qualities with which nature has endowed us, the abilities that will enable us to create lasting positive changes in our world.

Getting close to nature is a wonderful way to fill our lives with spirituality and a sense of completion. Nature has an amazing power to purify the energy of our thoughts and emotions, returning us to our original, natural state.

By balancing your breathing, you can control your emotions and calm your mind. From the quiet mind arises the wisdom and insight that help you make good choices.

If somebody asks me what enlightenment is, I say that it is simply recovering conscience.

Conscience is the absolute truthfulness perceived, which comes from Nothing, our true nature, and as such reflects things exactly the way they are.

Rather than the kind of change that takes what we already have and augments it, like power to our cars and speed to our computers, I believe the kind of change we need now is a change of direction.

We need to look carefully at what we value, what we have, and what we desire to make sure these are really important to us and represent what we truly want.

We use our minds in a way similar to how we use a scale - it tells us its worth, its value. But what if the scale has not been accurately recalibrated to zero? What if you had forgotten to remove mental and emotional baggage?

When we look at something, we are often not aware of who is perceiving, and unaware of the mental-emotional filter created by past experiences, hopes and expectations.

The shift of awareness is most important key to the road of peace. Peace sought by single nation or religion will inevitably generate conflict. Only peace centered on encompassing the whole Earth can lead us to the "promised land" of ancient wisdom.

If you live your life habitually, just letting day after day flow on by, then you cannot say that you have genuinely lived your life.

Though you live but a day, but an hour, you should live for the dreams, values, and spirit you have chosen.

Because we have a sense of completion within us, and because we have the will and desire to reach that state of completion, human beings have the potential for greatness and can become greater at any time.

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.

Who am I who sits here? What is it that I want?

My beloved Jay, remember me. Call my name every day. If you think of me and are with me, The infinite power of your min will never leave you. You have me. I will love you forever. I will be with you forever and ever. I am your hope. I am your soul.
