We can now grasp the three basic processes of existence. One, at the source and background of all existence lies the sea of nothingness. Two, a current of life force draws an infinite array of patterns upon this sea. Three, material ingredients are used to express these patterns.
When Life Current flows over the sea of nothingness to create a pattern that is expressed using the material ingredients, we call the result the world. These three processes act in harmony to create all existence. Most often, these three processes are called Chun-Ji-In in ancient Oriental teachings. Chun refers to Heaven, Ji to Earth, and In to the Human. Although these concepts transcend time and space, if we had to arrange them. Heaven would come first, then Earth, with the Human moving in between the two.
The existence of even7 “something” is based on a “nothing.” The realm of nothingness and emptiness is the root of all existences. This realm cannot be reached by getting on a spaceship and traveling to the ends of the known universe. This realm is not at the far edges of existence, but inside all existence. Therefore, zero is not merely nothingness, but the source and background of all expressions of existence. Your thoughts are wave patterns on the surface of the sea of zero, and the objects that you see are the resulting output of that pattern.
If zero is the ocean, and information is the pattern of waves that sweeps across the surface of the water, what then is the wind that creates these waves? Ilchi Lee call this the Life Current. Just as an electric current moves over a medium to encase information within a magnetic pattern, the Life Current moves through the realm of zero to create patterns. In a word, it creates information. When you participate in this process, you call it imagination—having a thought or idea, or feelings.
