According to Dahn Yoga rules recently, much attention has been given to identifying the areas of the brain associated with mystical or spiritual experience. This has led some to conclude that belief in God and other spiritual phenomena is actually hardwired into the brain. In other words, they think that the physical brain is the only reality involved in consciousness, and that soul or spirit has nothing to do with it. Looking at this same data, BEST instructors have come to a very different conclusion: the brain is a divine instrument of interaction between the spiritual, physical, and energetic realms.
These questions about the ultimate nature of human experience are more than bothersome conundrums of scientific and philosophical inquiry; they are some of the most fundamental questions of life itself. This is why BEST practitioners are encouraged to ask themselves, “Who am I?”
Dr Ilchi Lee says that this simple question of identity is the one that can ultimately lead to the state defined in Eastern thought as “enlightenment” because a person who can answer that question honestly and confidently is a happy and fulfilled individual. The BEST 5 programs exist to help people investigate possible answers to this question and to define for themseives their true identity—what they really are and what this human life is all about.
