Ilchi Lee reminds listeners that they all share an important common denominator

When people look at one another it is often easiest to only notice the things that divide them. Cultural, religious and ethnic differences are often immediately apparent and can serve to turn people off from each other. However, all too frequently, they overlook the commonalities that could serve to pull them closer together.
Ilchi Lee has long said that peace can only be achieved when people set aside these differences that divide and fully grasp those around them as their brothers and sisters. In order to spread this message, he spoke at the Meeting with Mago event in 2002.
As part of his address, Lee said that all humans have more in common with each other than they may be aware of. At the top of the list of commonalities is their connection to the Earth. The planet is what allowed their birth and continues to sustain their existence. Without it, no life would be possible.
This fundamental similarity could serve to lead people to spiritual healing, allowing them to understand that they are much more closely related than they may be aware of and that national and racial differences are often less important than people make them out to be.
