When I was driving on a fast lane during the rush hour this morning, I encountered a few reckless drivers. They passed me so dangerously although there was not enough space between my car and a car in front of me. exceeding more than 30+ miles than the speed limit. They almost risked their lives only to move forward a few cars ahead of them. What’s that for? I focused on my lower energy center (dahn-jon) in my abdomen and sent them loving, peaceful energy. I remember Ilchi Lee’s one of the 12 Maxims for Authentic Living “Smile and be at peace for no reason.” I felt calmer even compassionate toward them. Yes, I chose to smile! ^__^

| It is amazing how my life has been evolving since I started practicing Dahn Hak (study of energy)/Dahn Yoga. What touched my heart and whole being was the vision Dahn Hak had: Empowering people, family, society to create and experience Health, Smile, and Peace (HSP) and healing the Earth ultimately.Ilchi Lee, an enlightened brain and peace educator inspires me constantly. I got the following except from www.ilchilee.com. |
| “It is now time to acknowledge the ultimate and core value that is capable of encompassing and superseding the partial and prejudicial orientation of the current value systems of the world. It is the one that can become a fulcrum point that will allow balance, harmony, and peaceful coexistence of all people. This is the Earth. The Earth cannot be claimed by any one group or organization regardless of its size or power. If humanity can be said to share one collective vision, it would be peace on Earth. This collective vision may also be our hope for survival in the very near future. To realize that we are all Earth-Humans…this is the key.” |

Why did we anticipate the release of the final Star Wars film so eagerly? Why do children get so excited about Harry Potter sequels?
It is simple—people love stories about heroes.
In a cynical time of shamed presidents and celebrity misdeeds, when the media alternately tears down then builds up our real-life heroes, hero stories still resonate in our collective psyche.
“Everyone is a hero in his birth,” wrote mythology scholar Otto Rank. If we follow Rank’s line of reasoning, we are the true heroes of our own lives. When we root for Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), we are essentially cheering for ourselves.
The Hero’s Journey
The story of the hero dominates the ancient literature of the Western world, in the classics Beowulf and Homer’s Odyssey, for example. While we may no longer gather in the mead hall to hear the scop recite his epic poem, the archetype is just as compelling today, as evidenced by the latest blockbusters Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Journey to the Soul: Reflection
Lee describes the soul’s journey in three successive stages: reflection, awakening, and choice. His words on the soul are simple, straightforward, and genuine, as they emerge from the journey of his own soul.
“Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously
throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul’s journey, then I suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.
There are many types of sounds within us, such as those of our body, thoughts, and emotions. If we are attentive, we may notice that something or someone is constantly speaking. When we remain silent and listen intently as others speak to us, we are not hearing an outside voice only. Something is continually speaking within us. That being reacts to all the information that we see and hear. In fact, that being is reacting even as you read this.
Our experience and knowledge are constantly being edited as we think. ‘I feel cold.’ ‘I feel hot.’ ‘I am hungry.’ ‘That person is attractive.’ Sometimes, when our mind is at peace, we can hear a different, distinctive voice.
