When I first realized enlightenment, I did not know that the nature of my enlightenment was already spoken of in the Chun-Bu-Kyung. When I finally had the good fortune to learn of it, I realized that my enlightenment had the same inspiration and source as that of the Chun-Bu-Kyung.
In words of Ilchi Lee after knowing the Chun-Bu-Kyung, I could sense the energy in each one of its 81 letters when I sank deeply into meditation. The teachings of the Chun-Bu-Kyung came to me not through the intellect, but through actual experience of its energies. When I experienced the oneness of Heaven, Earth, and Human described in the Chun-Bu-Kyung, I felt my body become part of the light of the cosmos, attaining a level of ecstasy and peace that spoke to me of divine blessing.
When we realize our innate divine potential, we become one with the essence of the universe. We become one with creativity, peace and love. Currently in our world, we are trapped in the illusion that we must be in constant competition with one another. We live with the belief that you and I are different and separate. The Chun-Bu-Kyung contains the essence of the trinity, in which good and evil, life and death, heaven and earth are not defined as oppo-sites, but as parts of the same cosmic harmony. When we realize that our essence is identical to the essence that makes up the cosmos, we overcome tear, sadness, and anger.
