In order to realize my life purpose, Ilchi Lee have designed and promoted holistic education programs called Dahnhak and Brain Respiration for people to attain enlightenment through their bodies and brains. Realizing that individual health and peace is not possible without the health and peace of all made me dedicate my life to peace education.
When I was enlightened thirty years ago to the questions within me, I thought everything was answered. However, I soon realized that enlightenment is not the end but only the beginning. The truly important thing is not knowing but doing. No matter how great or magnificent our enlightenment might be, it is useless without application. People say that we are what we choose. I want to bring this truth to the next level. We are what we do. No action, No creation. My enlightenment has grown stronger and more powerful in the process of realizing my life purpose.
My choice to find my life purpose ended thirty years ago. At that time, I felt that I had arrived. Since then I never asked myself the question, “Who am I?” I changed my question. What do I need to do to realize my life purpose? What do I need to do to put my life purpose into practice? I ceaselessly ask and find a better way. And I ceaselessly choose.
Through reflection, awakening, and choice we are able to exist as our true selves. However, this is not the end. In order for us to realize and put into practice the life purpose we have chosen, endless choices await us. These choices are different from ones you have made so far. Now the choices you make are not about finding your path. Rather, they are choices to open the path you have found.
