Good character is a fruit borne by a tree of good habits
The root of your character is in your habits. A once-in-a-blue-moon choice does not speak to your character. A countless number of choices will gel into a habit, out of which the flower of your character will bloom. Good character is a fruit borne by a tree of good habits. Your goal should not be to attain enlightenment, for enlightenment is given to you already, whether you realize it or not, admit it or not.
As Prof Ilchi Lee tells in his book enlightenment exists within you, independent of your choice. Your responsibility lies in nurturing good character, bearing the best possible fruit or the most beautiful flower, from a perfect seed in the Garden of God. Your soul is this divine seed. We call this divinity. All souls are perfect. Depending on which soil you plant this seed in and what care you give, it will bear fruit or flower of different sizes, shapes, fragrances, and flavors. The process of planting and nurturing this seed is a series of endless choices. An accumulation of such choices will become your habits, the tree from which the flower, your character, will blossom forth.
Some people use the excuse, ‘Because I am not enlightened, I cannot make the right choices.’ Now we know that this is axiomatically false, for your enlightenment is already a part of your birth package. Such excuses are exactly that, excuses. We must now all become people who not only recognize our enlightenment, but who actively use it to make good choices. We must go from knowing to doing. This is an Earth-Human.
