Ilchi Lee founds institute for Korean studies

Phil — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:39:12 +0000

For centuries, technology, the arts and philosophy have progressed somewhat independently in Korea compared to the rest of the world. This has created a rich vein of culture that is unique to the peninsula. In order to share this one of a kind knowledge with the rest of the world, Ilchi Lee founded the Korean Institute for Cultural Studies in 2004.

On June 5, 2004, the center celebrated its launch with a ceremony in a four-story building in Cheonan City, South Korea. The proceedings marked the beginning of what would become a major hub of Korean thought.

The center offers lectures primarily concerning Korean history and Korean philosophy. It is intended to be on the front lines of a movement to for traditional Korean studies.

The culture has a lot to offer in the way of worthwhile studies. Ilchi Lee has said that many of the cornerstones of Korean culture, such as meditation, may be a step in the right direction in the world's pursuit of peace on Earth.

About Ilchi Lee

Symposium seeks to unlock human potential through brain education

Phil — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:59:22 +0000

In an effort to spread the word about the importance of brain education, Ilchi Lee has hosted or organized many events throughout the years that focus on brain wave vibrations and how individuals can use this achieve their full potential.

For example, in 2004, he hosted the International Brain Science Symposium. More than 600 participants gathered to discuss ways they can unlock their human potential and hear Ilchi Lee talk about brain wave vibration.

The theme of the event was Brain Science and its application for the 21st century humanity future. Many of those in attendance expressed the belief that brain education programs will come to play a very large role in the future.

As science unlocks more of the mysteries of the mind, humans may be able to take advantage of the findings to increase their potential and build a more harmonious society. This may involve a world where individuals have put aside their national, religious and cultural identities to live as true Earth Citizens.

Events like this serve to remind people of the importance of using their minds to achieve personal development.

Peace conference helps Ilchi Lee spread message of peace

Phil — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:48:54 +0000

Ilchi Lee believes that the only way to bring about peace on Earth is for every individual to leave behind the false labels of religion, nationality and ethnicity that divide people and begin living in harmony as united citizens of the Earth. Only then can true world peace be achieved.

In furtherance of this goal, Ilchi Lee has hosted many events aimed at educating people on ways they live lives that foster peace and unity rather than division and conflict. For example, in 2003 he organized the Humanity Conference Earth Human Forum.

Many esteemed individuals attended the conference, including former Costa Rica President and Nobel Peace Laureate Oscar Arias Sanche, Senior Advisor to the Secretary General of the United Nations Maurice Strong and administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes Seymour Topping.

The goal of the conference was to discuss ways to organize a global cultural movement that could further the cause of connected living and peace among nations.

Ilchi Lee has hosted many such events focused on the cause of peace over the course of the years. Perhaps someday they will help substantiate his vision of a world that lives in harmony.

Ilchi Lee drives cross-country to lecture at MIT

Phil — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 12:30:18 +0000

When individuals think about the great halls of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, most would have images in their minds of engineers hard at work or chemists toiling in laboratories. However, people may not think about pursuits of spiritual healing.

Yet, in 2001, the school played host to Ilchi Lee as he delivered his message of health to a crowded audience. The event was part of his Healing Society Forum, in which the author and philosopher discusses with other intellectual and curious members of the public on the important role of spirituality in today's life.

The event was made even more remarkable by the circumstances under which it took place. It was held on September 16, 2001, just days after the horrific terrorist attacks that occurred in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. During this period, all flights in the U.S. were grounded. In order to keep his appointment in Boston, Massachusetts, Ilchi Lee drove for 48 hours straight from Los Angeles, California.

This dedication allowed Ilchi Lee to bring his message of spiritual healing to the world renowned MIT and enabled him to share his inspiring stories.

Groups work for world peace

Phil — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:42:03 +0000

With all the violence and fighting that pervades the media, it can be difficult to imagine that anyone cares about the cause of world peace anymore. Rather than coming together to celebrate common humanity, it seems that people are more interested in exploiting their differences to tear each other apart.

However, this is not necessarily the case. Ilchi Lee has organized many conferences to discuss with political and spiritual leaders from around the world ways to encourage greater peace, love and respect.

For example, in June of 2001 Ilchi Lee hosted the first World Peace Humanity Conference. More than 12,000 individuals from around the world came to the event to discuss ways to further the cause of peace. The meeting also resulted in the ratification of the Declaration of Peace, a document that lays out the rights and responsibilities of true Earth Citizens.

Former Vice President Al Gore, former editor of the New York Times Seymour Topping and civil rights activist Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker all attended the event.

While the media may play up instances of violence and destruction, individuals can feel assured that organizations are working to further the cause of world peace.

Conference outlines methods for achieving spiritual growth

Phil — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:33:07 +0000

Given that there is so much hurting and strife in the world, it is no wonder that so many people feel adrift without any sense of life purpose. However, these individuals may take comfort in the fact that some groups are working to help them find a meaningful place in the world that gives them a chance to pursue their life dreams.

For example, on June 15, 2001, spiritual leaders from around the world met in Seoul, South Korea, to attend the New Millennium World Peace Humanity Conference. At the meeting, leaders talked about ways to bring humanity into the new millennium with a greater sense of connection and shared goals.

The event, which was organized by author and philosopher Ilchi Lee, resulted in the Declaration of Humanity. This document states that an Earth Citizen is a Spiritual Being, a Child of the Earth, a Healer, a Protector and an Activist.

Organizers, including Ilchi Lee, said that inspiring more people to pursue this type of lifestyle is one of the best ways to ensure greater peace throughout the coming years. It may also enable people to attain spiritual growth.

Scholarships help students chase personal development

Phil — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 13:51:02 +0000

When an individual pursues personal change, it is important for them to remain mindful about how their actions affect those around them. Improving the self has little relevance if it comes at the expense of another's happiness

For this reason, philosopher and author Ilchi Lee recently announced that his school, Global Cyber University will offer 50 percent scholarships for all students, which may help many individuals go after their goals of personal development.

The school offers classes in global business management, human services and Korean cultural studies. Aside from regular business lessons, each class offers students insights on how they can use their newly acquired skills to serve the world and make it a better place.

The HongIk Scholarship takes its name from this guiding principle. It comes from a Korean phrase that means "people who provide a wide-benefit for the betterment of the world."

Education plays a major role in Ilchi Lee's thoughts on spiritual growth. It is impossible to develop the self without working to improve the world, and a strong education can give individuals the skills to accomplish this.

Prayer of Peace brings spiritual healing to the masses

Phil — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:44:15 +0000

The world is in need of healing and spiritual awakening. However, most people are so worn out by the end of the day that the only thing they have energy for is watching some TV or listening to the radio. Yet, it can be difficult to find any programming that encourages spiritual growth on mainstream media.

To combat this, philosopher and author Ilchi Lee recently brought his Prayer of Peace to national radio in Canada. The was originally written and read for the 2000 United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders.

"The work of healing the pain and hurt and resolving the conflict and struggle on this earth begins with each of us," Lee said. "If each of us chooses health, happiness and peace and takes action, the earth will become a more beautiful star than ever."

To this point Ilchi Lee has brought his message of personal development to millions of people through his Prayer of Peace. This past New Year's Day, more than 2,100 individuals gathered to participate with Lee in a reading of the prayer.

Ilchi Lee Reveals the Lost Symbol

bigbang — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:39:44 +0000

“What if I told you that a thought … any tiny idea that forms in your mind … actually has a mass? What if I told you that a thought is an actual thing, a measurable entity, with a measurable mass? A miniscule mass, of course, but mass nonetheless. What are the implications?”

“Hypothetically speaking? Well, the obvious implications are … if a thought has mass, then a thought exerts gravity and can pull things toward it.”

Katherine smiled. “You’re good. Now take it a step further. What happens if many people start focusing on the same thought? All the occurrences of that same thought begin to merge into one, and the cumulative mass of this thought begins to grow. And therefore, its gravity grows.”

“Okay.”

“Meaning … if enough people begin thinking the same thing, then the gravitational force of that thought becomes tangible … and it exerts an actual force.” Katherine winked. “And it can have measurable effect in our physical world.”

This excerpt is from Dan Brown’s latest novel, The Lost Symbol. Refreshingly, the The Da Vinci Code author has chosen many New Thought concepts, including those that happen to be taught by Ilchi Lee, as the theme and message for his new book. Compare the above to Ilchi Lee’s rules for your “Brain Operating System” or BOS:

Good news makes a good brain.
Choose it and it will happen.
Stay awake and pay attention.

These rules acknowledge the creative power of our brains, and remind us to pay attention to what we are thinking, and to keep it positive and focused on what we really want. They acknowledge that, as Dan Brown writes:

“We are creators, and yet we naively play the role of ‘the created.’ We see ourselves as helpless sheep buffeted around by the God who made us. We kneel like frightened children, begging for help, for forgiveness, for good luck. But once we realize that we are truly created in the Creator’s image, we will start to understand that we, too, must be Creators. When we understand this fact, the doors will burst wide open for human potential.” […]

Ilchi Lee has spent his career developing Brain Education to help people harness the true creative power of their brains. He’s also helped them open their hearts, so that they can choose goals that their hearts, their souls, want—those that benefit all humanity. Because he knows that:

“The most amazing part,” Katherine said, “is that as soon as we humans begin to harness our true power, we will have enormous control over our world. We will be able to design reality rather than merely react to it.”

Langdon lowered his gaze. “That sounds … dangerous.”

Katherine looked startled … and impressed. “Yes, exactly! If thoughts affect the world, then we must be very careful how we think. Destructive thoughts have influence, too, and we all know it’s far easier to destroy than it is to create.”

He’s also gathered people into a community who want to use that power to create a happy, healthy, and peaceful world. They focus and work together in harmony because they know, as Ilchi Lee has taught, that:

“…two heads are better than one … and yet two heads are not twice better, they are many, many times better. Multiple minds working in unison magnify a thought’s effect … exponentially. This is the inherent power of prayer groups, healing circles, singing in unison, and worshipping en masse. The idea of universal consciousness is not an ethereal New Age concept. […]

Through Brain Education workshops such as Shim Sung, Ilchi Lee has enabled people to experience this truth personally and viscerally. He has helped them find the lost symbol inside themselves so they can make it their own and endeavor to live it. Mr. Lee believes that when 100 million people in the world are doing this, a critical tipping point will be reached, and the consciousness of humanity will shift to embody this truth.

I’m grateful to Dan Brown for using these concepts in his novel, because I think novels are great purveyors of ideas—Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, 1984, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, The Celestine Prophecy. All have made people think about powerful concepts, or at least made them more common parlance in our society—a critical step toward the shift in consciousness the characters in The Lost Symbol predict is on the horizon.

Declaration of Humanity: We Are All Children of the Earth

bigbang — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 18:17:16 +0000

A succinct summary of Ilchi Lee’s philosophy on the nature of humanity is this Declaration of Humanity ratified at the First Humanity Conference in June 2001 in Seoul, South Korea. This 12,000-person event included such dignitaries as former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, environmental activist Maurice Strong, and renowned journalist Seymour Topping.
