Magnifying glass

When you align consciousness, energy, ano body with one single wish and have developed the strength and maturity to maintain and protect that single wish, you will recognize the amazing power of your mind. You will witness the wish, a thought in your consciousness, come into being in the world of form. You will have become a creator in the fullest sense of the word.

To clarify your understanding of Shim-ki-hyul-jung, imagine using a magnifying glass to gather and focus sunlight. If you move the glass around instead of leaving it in one place, then the sunlight will scatter. However, if you maintain exact focus in one place for a prolongec period of time, then the sunlight becomes strong and enough heat builds to create fire. Our thoughts are similarly powerful, capable of generating concentrated energy to express our own divine creativity.

The principle of Shim-ki-hyul-jung provides fundamental guidance for the process of evolution, creation, and the existence of all things. When consciousness becomes concentrated, energy starts to gather. This in turn begins to attract the material necessary to manifest the essence of the concentrated consciousness. Hyul, which literally means “blood,” actually refers to all the material required to generate the shape and form of a wish. Therefore, Shim-ki-hyul-jung refers to the process of the invisible consciousness creating a tangible form through the power of concentration.

This is why every sage in the history of humankind has told us to be careful with our mind and our thoughts. An unconscious wish is still a wish and an unconscious curse is still a curse. It is crucial to be continuously aware of what we think and how we act and speak. We must also develop the discipline and the will needed to align our words and actions with our wishes. The universe is filled with information and energy that we can draw on to manifest our innermost dreams and visions.. .whatever they may be. Reed Prof Ilchi Lee content….

The Vibration of Life

For practitioners, fundamental changes occur in the body during the exercises. The changes differ from one person to the next. Without some understanding of what is happening to the body as a result of the Ki stimulation, some people might feel frightened or confused when they experience Jin-dong.

One sign that the body is changing is when the body begins to shake. This reaction is the result of a person moving into a deeply relaxed, alpha brainwave state. As a person begins to feel the flow of energy circulating throughout the body, the body will often shake violently as blockages in the meridian channels are cleared by the new flood of energy. Jin-dong can best be compared to suddenly opening a water faucet connected to a garden hose. With the increase in water pressure, the hose begins to shake violently. Likewise, the body will vibrate when energy suddenly begins to flow.

There are two types of Jin-dong. In one case, Jin-dong occurs when a sufficient accumulation of energy is reached and it begins to flow rapidly through the meridian system. In another case, Jin-dong can result from an influx of vital cosmic energy after fully opening the mind.

FOR THE LIVER AND GALL BLADDER

This content is copied from Ilchi Lee’s book, this is about liver and gall bladder.

1. Sit up with your spine straight and spread your legs as wide as you can. With your right hand grab your right ankle. Bend from the waist as you bring your left hand over to your right foot. Hold for as long as is comfortable while focusing on stretching your left side and thighs as much as possible.

2. Repeat on the opposite side. Repeat each side at least twice.

FOR THE HEART AND SMALL INTESTINE

1. Sit in half-lotus posture and lock your fingers behind your neck. Inhale. Bend your upper body forward and touch the floor with your forehead.

2. Hold this posture for as long as you comfortably can. Exhale and expand your chest as you return to your original posture.

FOR THE KIDNEY AND BLADDER

1. From a comfortable sitting position straighten your legs, stretching them forward, with your feet next to each other. Pull your toes back toward your body so that your ankles form a 90-degree angle. From this position, bend your upper body forward and grab your ankles with your hands.

2. Perform the movements slowly, matching them to your breathing. Exhale as you bend your body forward and inhale as you raise it up again. When you bend your upper body forward, also bend your neck forward, and grab your ankles with your hands. Be careful not to overdo it; you will know you have if your body tightens up. Adjust the exercise to your flexibility level.

We each have certain tools that are critical to doing our job, whether we are plumbers, carpenters, engineers, athletes, doctors, or in the case of this book, human beings. The tools that I have introduced in this chapter form the foundation of the self-care health methods in our HT toolkit.

The power of these tools lies in their simplicity. Whether through breath-work, meditation, or meridian exercises, all we need is our sincere attention and our bodies. As I said, Human Technology is not as complicated as you may have imagined!

Activate the body’s natural healing capacity—acupuncture, acupressure, and moxibustion—we can prevent and treat many common health problems. Amazingly, all we have to do is stimulate our internal healing mechanism—almost like turning on a switch.

Practiced on specific response points on the human body, acupuncture, acupressure, and moxibustion have long been foundational to the healing arts in northeast Asia. In acupuncture, a thin needle is inserted into response points. Acupressure is pressure applied to the same points using the fingers or tools. Moxibustion is the practice of burning small, tightly rolled dried cones of the plant mugwort on or over specific points.

In 1976, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized acupuncture as a legitimate practice. After exhaustive scientific study, WHO declared in 1998 that acupuncture is an appropriate treatment for 300 common illnesses, and recommended that acupuncture be used as a diagnostic tool.

Acupuncturists must undergo training and receive a license in order to practice in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, among other countries.

In the United States, the first state licenses for acupuncture were issued in the mid-1970s in California. Not all states regulate acupuncture. Since acupuncture is a relatively new profession in the industrialized countries, there is wide variation in licensing, training, guidelines for practice, and proficiency examinations from state to state.

Look at this empty space

Look at this empty space—there is infinity in there. Even the tiniest separation, too small even for a microscope to identify, contains infinite space. No matter how small the numbers—consider .00000000001 and .00000000002—there is an infinite space in between that you cannot fill even if all the supercomputers in the world tried for a hundred human lifetimes.

This is copied from Ilchi Lee book. Take a digital camera and take a picture of the most beautiful flower you have ever seen. Now download this image into your computer and magnify it. Soon you will no longer see a flower or anything you can recognize. All you will see are dots of varying colors and spaces in between those dots. Then you will no longer even see the colors of the dots. They will just be jagged-edged blobs.

What happened to the flower, its petals quivering, sunlight glinting off the dew on its petals? The vibration of life you felt with this flower has disappeared into the digitized image. In like manner, truth and life cannot be captured by languages in any form— either in words or dots.

It is like trying to capture the sea by throwing a net into it. How can we catch the sea? Why do we keep casting the net? We should throw away the net and just jump into the sea, play with the waves and foam. The sea will receive you only when you throw yourself into it. You and the sea will become one. Only then can you say that you have “obtained” the sea.

Into the Sea You Qo

We are not here to discuss the limitations of languages, however. Besides the truth, there are everyday experiences that often will not lend themselves to language. When we come across new experiences, we want to quantify and understand the experience; however, understanding an experience is the same as organizing the experience into words. When you say things like, “I don’t understand what I went through . . .” or “I just have no idea . . .” you actually mean that you cannot find the words to describe your experiences. As our society becomes increasingly complicated and intricate, our experiences become more diverse, making it more difficult to put some realities into words.

Therefore, in an effort to quantify and put into language these experiences that we are constantly creating, we are inventing more words and terms and advancing the technology of informational processing to dizzying heights. Today, we have managed to quantify any and every word into binary bits, expressed in zeroes and ones. In this fashion, words become digitized signals and control machinery and computers.

Not only words, but light and sound can be transmitted in bits. CD players and digital cameras are prime examples of such technology. These advances, so often called the “Digital Revolution,” are designed to make language more elaborate and sophisticated so that it can express our experiences more accurately. This process is akin to crowding tiny dots ever closer together so that they resemble a steady and consistent line.

Unfortunately, this is a game that we are destined to lose. We could apply all the latest technology and skills in the world but we still wouldn’t be able to completely connect the space between two dots. Imagine two dots. Imagine the space in between. Draw a line that connects the two by crowding a straight path between the dots with tiny dots that will coalesce to look like a line. Then magnify the image. Are they completely connected or is there an empty space between the dot and the line and within the line itself?

Our Assignment Civilization Shift

Prof Ilchi Lee said that without these rules, no one movement or event or civilization can go on for long, no matter how strong its momentum may be at the start. A cell that does not think first about the whole organism, a team member who does not follow the team’s wishes—a nation or a religion that does not align itself to the needs of the whole Earth—these can be described as cancers. What does a cancer cell do? Destroy the organism and ultimately itself in an orgy of indi­vidual, isolated frenzy.

So what does mastership signify? How does a master act? A mas­ter sustains the natural order of the universe by following the three rules in all his actions, including speech. A master realizes that the three rules represent the operating axioms of the universe, that they are a reflection of the cosmic mind itself. Order and harmony will appear when these rules are adhered to, while chaos and conflict will rule when they are ignored. The flow of cosmic energy and cos­mic mind, although invisible, continues uninterrupted and unim­peded, consistently and forever, never late nor early. This flow of the essence of the cosmos bathes us with its immeasurable love and guides us with its austere mercy, for only through the austerity of its mercy can all life gain an opportunity to realize itself in safety.

The daydream we most often enjoyed when we were little was probably of the “What if I were older?” variety. This daydream is only possible when the future is wide open, providing an infinite variety of dreams, limited only by the range of our imagination. A wide-open future always gives us joy, for it gives our dreams and hopes a spacious canvas on which to paint. Having a future, by def­inition, means the possibility of a choice. To be able to choose—do any one of us truly know the deep significance and feel a keen appreciation of this? A future without the possibility of choice is a dead future, a closed future, a non-future. How fortunate we are that we can still choose.

God’s house

This article is about different subject by Ilchi Lee which is most attractive and informative.

Even God’s “house” has a garbage can. The most negative information in the world is still information, and, as such, has the right and hope to become realized. Divine garbage, or Hell, is a place that has the conditions in which negative information can most readily attain reality. When good information gathers, it creates the conditions under which it can prosper by expressing itself in reality. When bad information gathers, it also creates the conditions under which it can be realized.

We, as humanity, stand at the edge of this narrow ledge. Whether Earth will be a good training ground for helping souls to reach perfection or whether it will become the universal ghetto of negative information is our choice.

I want to make the current conditions on Earth better than they are now. I want to make Earth an ideal place for spiritual growth. a cosmic showcase such that souls will line up and take numbers to get in. I have chosen to give my all and sacrifice everything I have to achieve this goal. I have so far remained true to my choice. This is the healing that I speak of. For me, healing society and healing Earth are my ways of actualizing my enlightenment and being responsible for my choices.

I don’t consider this my individual work. I believe there are many souls on Earth whose goal is to engage in similar work. The reason I am sharing my story is that I think you are one of those souls.

God is information

God is information. However, there are two types of information. Let’s make a computer analogy. If you want to produce a document, you use a program for word processing. Your document, as well as the word processor, is a collection of information. One is document information and the other is program information, used to create more information in the form of documents. God is like the word processor. God is a tool for creation, to be used but not worshipped. When you give yourself to God and let God use your brain and body, you are in fact letting the word processor run the computer and the user. When you become the master of the computer and use its many programs according to your will, then you become a conscious user. However, when you let the program run you, instead of the other way around, then you are a kind of ghost user, there, but not there. You become a slave to the information. Although this information can be of political or social ideology or religious dogma, you are a slave, nonetheless.

Although you need both hardware and software for the act of creation, it is up to you to choose what you will create and what programs and machines you will use. If the current software/hardware setup is not appropriate to what you seek to create, then you have to change it. You have to choose another system. This is your choice and responsibility as a conscious user of your own life.

Who are you? Who do you wish to be? Why do you live? Why do you want to live? The answers to these questions are all choices you make. You can use “God” to actualize these choices, for God is a tool you use to create your life. In the midst of this creation, look into yourself and realize that you are the master of the information that you wield, that you are the master of your own life, and that you are the Creator.

Empower Your Smile

If you want to be happy, stop waiting for others to make you happy, just decide to be happy. If your life seems too dreary, smile anyway.

Ilchi Lee Said that this may seem like Pollyanna, pie-in-the-sky nonsense at first, but it is very much rooted in the physiological reality of your brain. When you smile, even when it is a forced smile, chemicals associated with happiness are released in the brain. Also, smiling is contagious. Very few people can resist the urge to smile back when you smile at them.

As wonderful as a smile is, laughter is even better. The old saying “Laughter is the best medicine” is literally true. Laughter boosts the immune system and reduces the stress response, and thus is excellent for brain health. Furthermore, good attitude and lots of positive social interaction seem to reduce the risk of dementia and other aging-related brain disorders. A happy brain, it seems, is a healthy brain.
