The Death of a Friend

By Phil on May. 17, 2009.

But by then I was already beyond caring. I was only thinking about death. So this is how people die. So this is what death feels like. I became obsessed with death. For the next six months, I was an emotional mess of guilt, fear, and morbid curiosity. I became a sort of an anarchistic, cynical atheist. All the teachers in my school and my parents were up in arms about me because after I talked to any classmate, he would become just like me—depressed, angry, and lost, not a bit interested in school work. Ilchi Lee writes I would ask them, “Why do you study?” and grill them until they admitted that they knew nothing about what life was. “You could die the next day. What possible good could studying do you?”

It got to the point that I thought about death all the time. I carried around some sleeping pills with me because I wanted to feel some power or control over my own death. I didn’t want death to sneak up on me. So, I decided to die. I went to a remote place where I could watch the stars, and dug up a deep hole in which I could lie down. Then I gulped down some liquor along with the sleeping pills and waited for death to take me as I watched the twinkling stars. Then this person came to rescue me. This mother of a local postman. She said later that somebody came to her in a dream telling her to save this person who is trying to commit suicide in an abandoned lot.

Eventually jump

By Phil on May. 12, 2009.

Extract from Healing Society a book of Prof Ilchi Lee

We are tooled into thinking that this bunch of information is actually us. Take a flea and put it into a bottle with a glass top. After a few times of jumping up and bumping into the glass top, the flea will eventually jump only so high that it doesn’t hit the top anymore, even if you take the top off later. We human beings don’t have this glass top. The only limitation we have is the false information that we hold on to as if it were the truth. We imagine this glass top to be real for ourselves. We don’t recognize that we have the choice to make it disappear and to free ourselves. It’s a choice.

The choice to be free can only be actualized though a purposeful decision to break out of the stifling grasp of false information and to courageously stay the course. And your brain will give you the power to do this.

Everyone has a brain, but only a few know how to use their brains well. The brain is the father of all computers. From the brain came the computer, language, religion, culture, history, laws, and everything that makes up the Age of Materialism in which we live today. The history of mankind developed through our brains. Everything that surrounds us today is a by-product of how we have used our brains. When you know human brains, you know human beings.

Judge the value of a person

By Phil on May. 6, 2009.

It is time we examine whether the standard by which we judge the value of a person’s information is itself correct. So far we have decided on the value of a person through his or her education level, occupation, family background, wealth, and other external factors instead of asking about the person’s value system or life philosophy. However, the true value of a person depends on the positive contribution that he or she makes to society. A person who may be talented and smart but is harmful to the general well being of the society is a valueless person.

Prof lee said people in the highest positions of power, such as the President, Speaker of the House, or CEO of the largest corporation in the world, are valueless if they don’t contribute positively to society. They actually have a heavier obligation to make a positive change, for they are in positions to do so. Only if they do will they be living up to their true worth. A person who has a lot ot positive information inside to contribute to society can be said to have a higher spiritual awareness. However, we don’t usually think that we have the right or the ability to change the set of information we have gathered that makes up who we are as human beings. We have unconsciously absorbed the pieces of information that have flowed into us and passively incorporated them into who we are without question or complaint.

Everything goes in cycles

By Phil on May. 1, 2009.

Written by Prof Ilchi Lee founder of Dahn Yoga

Human souls who have completed their journeys will also rest. Everything goes in cycles, without end. After a period of rest, we will start back up again with our collective journey. This is not a prophecy, but common sense. This is not something to fear.

But we should not lie idle and wait. We are here on Earth for a purpose, to recover our sense of True Love. If we do, we will no longer be fearful. Of Final Judgment or anything else. Let’s not procrastinate, but get on with our main job.

Strived for True Love

By Phil on Apr. 26, 2009.

by Prof Ilchi Lee

Close your eyes and look deep inside yourself. Ask yourself if you really strive for True Love. Do you know the meaning of True Love? What are the things that are blocking your True Love from surfacing? Could it be that they are doubt, egotism, and lack of respect?

To erect a society based on the standards of True Love. This is “E-wha Saegae—Everything-Harmonious World.” This is what we have to wish and strive for with all our hearts. This is why I am calling for a Spiritual-Cultural Movement that will sweep the world and act as a seed out of which mass enlightenment can germinate. Ilchi Lee writes this is why we need an Enlightenment Revolution.

Why did science and technology advance so quickly in the last century? Because we have become even more anxious and nervous than ever. Competition derives its power from the anxiety of Man. You compete because you are fearful. Through competition, you seek to guarantee your future security. Through competition, everything has become quicker. Everything is aging faster: humans, Heaven, Earth, nature. Even nature needs to take a rest. That means that Earth needs to take a rest soon.

Seek enlightenment

By Phil on Apr. 21, 2009.

Love based on nationality is not love. Love based on color is not True Love. True Love is spiritual love. It is love expressed toward all existence and given form through reality.

Why do we have to seek enlightenment? To recover the True Love in our hearts. By losing the memory of True Love in our hearts, we have fallen from being gods to being animals. Now we need to rejoin the ranks of the divine.

More said Prof Ilchi that it’s time for us, all of humanity, to set a standard for True Love. That True Love is love that loves not only Heaven, Earth, and human, but all of existence. This should be the standard against which all others are measured.

Drudgery of life

By Phil on Apr. 16, 2009.

Author Prof Ilchi Lee

Can you just imagine the drudgery of life to a being who knows that everything around him is an illusion’ But why do you think he came back? for power? For respect’ For everlasting fame!” What good are these when you know that they are only illusions? Would you be tempted to eat a piece of cake when you knew it was just a clumsy hologram”‘ When you knew that the real thing was just around the corner’ Then why did he come back.’ Simple. True Love for all mankind. He wrenched himselt away from his higher existence and came back down among the grime and the filth to get his own hands dirty in order to bring the rest ot us up with him. Or at least tell us how. This is the sacrifice he made. This is the True Love he showed. And this is the same love that Jesus showed when he, too, came back down among the masses to show us the way. Jesus’ supreme sacrifice didn’t lie with the crucifixion. It lay with the fact that he chose to come back and share his enlightenment with the masses, knowing that he would be killed. He came to teach us True Love.

Ilchi Lee says without knowing our True Selves, we cannot know True Love. So far, we have known only selfish love, egotistical love, controlling love, and domineering love. We have sought to use love as a tool to conquer and win. Even a porcupine loves its young. Even a lowly rodent knows to die for its offspring. Love based on blood is not True Love.

Have a Rest on Fasting Time

By Phil on Apr. 12, 2009.

Read this carefully, this is suggested by Ilchi Lee founder of Yoga.A lot of force is spent for the period of fast in the process of eliminating accumulated poisons and toxic waste materials. It is, consequently, of utmost importance that the patients get as much physical rest and mental relaxation as possible during the fast.

In cases of fasts in which fruit juices are taken, particularly when fresh grapes, oranges or grapefruit are used absolutely, the toxic wastes enter the blood -stream quickly, resulting in an excess of toxic matter, which have an effect on normal bodily functions. This often results in shaky spells, followed by diarrhea and vomiting. If this physical response persists, it is sensible to put an end to the fast and take cooked vegetables containing sufficient roughage such as spinach and beets until the body functioning returns to normal.

The overweight person finds it much easier to go without food. Loss of weight causes no fright and the patient’s manner makes fasting almost a delight. The first day’s hunger stitch are maybe the most difficult to bear. The desire for food will, however, step by step decrease as the fast progresses. Critically sick persons have no desire for food and fasting comes naturally to them. The simplest rule is to stop eating until the hunger returns or until one feels completely well.

Honey for Heart infection

Honey has wonderful properties to prevent all sorts of heart disease. It tones up the heart and improves the flow. It is also effective in cardiac pain and palpitation of the heart. One tablespoon daily after food is sufficient to prevent all sorts of heart troubles.

A surface effect of this therapy will be the strengthening of the skin. Scaly skin, dry skin, infections of the skin all disappears with the consumption of honey every day for more than a few months.

A lot of Benefits of the Enema

By Phil on Apr. 3, 2009.

Suggested by: Ilchi Lee Prof

Think the enema for the healing of the bowels. Also known as rectal irrigation, an enema involves the injection of fluid into the rectum. In nature cure treatment, only lukewarm water is used for cleaning the bowels. The patient is made to lie on his left side extending his left leg and bending the right leg slightly.

The enema nozzle, lubricated with oil or Vaseline, is inserted in the rectum. The enema can containing the lukewarm water is then slowly raised and water is allowed to enter into the rectum.

Prof Ilchi Lee recommend that usually, one to two liters of water is injected. The patient may either lie down on his back or walk a little while retaining the water. After five to 10 minutes, the water can be ejected along with the accumulated morbid matter.

A warm water enema helps to clean the rectum of accumulated faucal matter. This is not only the safest system for cleaning the bowels, but also improves the peristaltic movement of the bowels and thereby relieves constipation. A cold-water enema is helpful in inflammatory conditions of the colon, especially in cases of dysentery, diarrhea, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhoids and fever. A hot water enema is beneficial in relieving irritation due to inflammation of the rectum and painful hemorrhoids. It also benefits women in leucorrhoea.

How to fight aging

By Phil on Mar. 28, 2009.

Did you know that just walking for 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week is enough to combat aging?

According to Prof Ilchi Lee and some other researchers one of the principle causes of deterioration of the human organism’s physical faculties is its diminished ability to metabolize glucose. And they showed that even leisurely exercise, like taking a walk, plays an important role in keeping glucose metabolism functioning smoothly. Do you spend the whole day sitting at your desk or in front of a computer screen? Why not get up occasionally and do a few minutes of physical exercise? Don’t worry about what other people think.

In some Japanese companies, it is even become a collective habit. Every twenty minutes a bell sounds, and everybody gets up to do some stretching exercises, after which they sit down again as if nothing had happened. Japanese managers are convinced that their employees are more productive when they are relaxed.

Prevent motion sickness – naturally

By Phil on Mar. 23, 2009.

Published by: Ilchi Lee

Did you know that half a teaspoon of ground ginger is more effective than chemical medication in suppressing motion or seasickness? And unlike most medication, it will not make you drowsy. Ginger has been used in the Orient for centuries to prevent seasickness.

Researchers asked subjects who were especially susceptible to motion sickness to sit in a reclining chair that spun around at high speed. All the subjects who ingested a well known medication or who took a placebo experienced violent nausea and/or vomiting. On the other hand, six of the twelve subjects who took ginger twenty minutes before the test experienced no discomfort. They consumed only 840 milligrams of ground ginger, which is the equivalent of half a teaspoon.

Ilchi Lee Prof writes the Japanese have a very inquisitive method of treating all kinds of motion sickness. They use an adhesive plaster to fasten an “umeboshi” (a very salty fermented plum, available in most health food stores in the West) to their navel. The idea may seem a little strange, but what have you got to lose!

Anti-allergy vitamin

By Phil on Mar. 19, 2009.

Posted by: Ilchi Lee

Prof Lee says so much has been said in praise of Vitamin C. So it is not surprising that it is also effective in treating allergic response like hay fever.

We recommend taking Vitamin C in the form of acerbate rather then ascorbic acid. When taken in ascorbic acid form, it can cause gastro-intestinal disorders.

To fight an allergic reaction, you should consume up to 8 grams. 5 grams are necessary, on average. Start with a dose of 3 grams. Every three hours, take another 1 or 2 grams, until the symptoms vanish completely.

Prevent Flatulence (Aerophagy)

By Phil on Mar. 16, 2009.

Some great tips by Prof Ilchi Lee about aerophagy. Aerophagy results simply from “eating” air. The condition is not dramatically serious, but it does bloat the stomach and can prove embarrassing (stomach gurgles, etc.)

How to prevent it? Above all chew your food properly and savor it fully. Swallowing too much is a direct cause of aerophagy. So don’t swallow unnecessarily.

Don’t drink a lot when you eat. Avoid tobacco and alcohol, cabbage, radishes, doughy bread, strong spices and bubbly drinks. Don’t eat food that is too hot or too cold.

And pay attention to the kinds of food you eat together: make a note of any mixture that seems to provoke an attack and avoid it in prospect.

Completion

By Phil on Mar. 13, 2009.

Article selected by: Ilchi Lee
The third central value is what I call “completion.” Completion is different from perfection. Perfection, as a state that describes the absence of faults, uses comparison and evaluation as evidence of its being. Completion is a wholeness that includes both perfection and imperfection. Completion trumps competition every time and creates a game, not of winners and losers, but of winners and winners.

Success is a relative term; it is a state of being as judged by and compared to others. Success can be achieved through money and fame; however, completion can only be achieved when you know and achieve your mission in life. Competition is necessary for success, but completion does not require competition. Only the winner may drink from the cup of victory in competition; in completion, everyone has his or her own victory cup. The road to success is paved with competition; the road to completion is paved with mutual assistance.

Prof Ilchi lee writes that if we accept completion as the primary purpose of life, in place of perfection or success, we have suddenly created a new context within which to decide how to manifest our highest self. Seeking to manifest ourselves as a “perfect” person will cause us to strive in one way, while seeking to manifest ourselves as a “complete” person will create entirely different behaviors.

We will no longer judge our lives by the relative measure of success in competition, but by the absolute value of completion. Completion will be the eternal goal of our new found lives. Completion rejects nothing, least of all material success. The difference is that we manage material things towards this inclusive vision, rather than using or accumulating material objects to achieve an imaginary state of faultlessness. Living a life moving toward completion will produce the epitome of both spiritual and material success, both for the individual and humanity as a whole.
