Ilchi Lee and Meditation

Ilchi Lee is a strong advocate of meditation, for at least 30 minutes a day. The physical preparation and proper posture are important. The challenge to keep the body in a meditation position makes us more aware of our senses and that we what we sense is not reality. Positive images for the mind, such as the candle, are important. Finally, one experiences at the spiritual level, feeling joy, love, dignity, beauty, connection, oneness or other deep feelings.

Basic Rules of Peaceology

Peace is the healthy and harmonious order of life.  The nucleus of the order consists of two factors:  An unchangeable central point and a set of rules that governs movement around the center.  Only when all the various parts of a system agree upon a center and move according to a certain set of rules, is total and comprehensive order possible.  For this  to happen, this center must be a point on which all elements of the system agree.  It must have unanimous appeal and universal meaning of greater importance that the differences inevitable to any system.  Furthermore, the rules that govern the separate elements of the system must be fair and consistent and must be essential to the co-existence and co-operation of the system.  Only then will all the different elements of a system accept the rules willingly and co-create a healthy and harmonious order that will, in turn, benefit all elements of the system.

The three basic rules needed for creation of a system of harmonious order are as follows:  Revolution vs. Rotation, Centripetal vs. Centrifugal Force, and Fairness vs. Equality.  These three “rules” provide not only the principle underpinings of a harmonious order but also strength to maintain it.  In short, these are rules for peace.  The reason the human body works so well, is that the body operates according to these rules.
