Heaven is analogous to the realm of nothingness. Earth to the material ingredients needed to give expression to a pattern, which is created by the Life Current, or Human. Of course, the term Heaven, as it is used here, does not refer to the blue sky above us, Earth to the soil under your feet, or Human to you or me. I use these terms to facilitate an intellectual understanding of cosmic truth.
The Life Current is the main actor in creation, and the omnipresent divine reality in existence. Life Current, in physical terms, is a particle without mass or size, and in functional terms, it is a particle that carries thought. Since it doesn’t have mass, it doesn’t have gravity, and since it is without mass, it is not trapped within space; this allows it to travel from the realm of zero to the infinitely variable world of material output, and back.
When we are able to feel this flow of Life Current, Ilchi Lee writes that we name it Ki. Through this current, much information is created, information that acts as a blueprint that directs the flow of energy that acts on matter to bring an image into a three-dimensional reality, into a world of shapes and forms. These images come together to fill the world we live in.
The realm of nothingness over which the Life Current flows is a world of no preconditions. It is a world of absolute freedom and true creation. Nothingness or emptiness cannot be recognized or perceived as such. Just as we hang a “Caution” sign on a transparent glass door, we have to etch a pattern on this nothingness in order to perceive its existence. It is through the etched pattern that we not only recognize the pattern but realize the existence of the glass. Imagine a pool of transparent water, still as a vacuum, without activity. Then a breeze blows across it and causes ripples to move across its surface. Only then can we feel the coolness of the wind and discern the existence of the pool of water.
