Ilchi Lee: How to use this life
By Ryan on Jul. 27, 2008.
How to use this life
We have the source of life within us.
Ideas are a wall separating us from that life.
The one who doesn’t know that the source of great life is within is moved by those ideas.
Our lives are part of the great life of the cosmos.
I am greatly deluded if I think the life given to me is “mine.”
All we can know is that this life given to us is available for our use.
Will I use that life in ways that are bright or dark?
That is my choice.
The selfishness and obsessions within us begin with the thought that this life is mine.
Growth of the spirit begins in the understanding that this life is not my own.
Life belongs to no one.
This life is given to us for a short time,
Only to return to its source.
As we manage mountains, fields, and rivers to leave to our descendants,
Our lives, too, we only manage for a short time.
Only when we know we come from the source
Can we know the way to back to it.
At the moment life ends, if a person’s spirit can return to the source following that life,
That person can be called a “complete human being.”
