03Undated

What is enlightenment? In the Korean tradition of Tao, it is known a Mu-Ah (Mu means “No” or “Nothing” and Ah means “Me”). It is no-me-ness, or egoless-ness. It means realizing the true, unchanging nature of the person you happen to be.

Ilchi Lee / quote

Ilchi Lee / quote

08Undated

The universe likes change. All that appears solid and substantial is built on the shifting sands of ceaseless transformation on the quantum level. Ironically, that’s the one steady factor about the universe - it is always changing, which means our efforts to change are supported by the very nature of Life.

Ilchi Lee / quote

09Undated

The only thing you need to be present here and now is your breathing. When you feel your breath, your mind is with your body.

Ilchi Lee / quote

12Undated

The deeper and slower your breathing becomes, the more space you will create inside you. Eventually, it will become so big that all your thoughts and emotions look trivial in the vastness of your inner space.

Ilchi Lee / quote

15Undated

The moment you choose your vision, great confliction comes along. You have confliction even if you don't choose the vision. Our soul grows not by living life within a small confliction, but rather living with big conflictions inside a big vision. A soul with a vision can succeed.

Ilchi Lee / quote

16Undated

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.

Ilchi Lee / quote

17Undated

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.

Ilchi Lee / quote

18Undated

How do we meditate? It is not thinking about the past or future. It starts with being present.

Ilchi Lee / quote

19Undated

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.

Ilchi Lee / quote

20Undated

Make your mind quiet of disturbing thoughts by focusing on subtle energy on your palms, inside your body and all around.

Ilchi Lee / quote

21Undated

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.

Ilchi Lee / quote

22Undated

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

Ilchi Lee / quote

23Undated

Consciousness is not confined within an individual brain. Otherwise, how can it cause changes in the physical state of things outside the brain?

Ilchi Lee / quote

24Undated

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.
