Ilchi Lee originated the Brain Education system, which seeks to maximize human potential through a variety of training methods. As president of the Korean Institute of Brain Science and chairman of the International Brain Education Association, Lee has dedicated himself to the nurture and development of the human brain. He is the author of twenty-nine books, most of which focus on the important role of the brain in the creation of a better world for ourselves and our children.
Human beings are unique among the inhabitants of Earth because we are simultaneously Earth-bound and divine. You have probably noticed how vastly human behavior can differ, ranging from the person who gives all in service of others to the one who violently uses and abuses other people. This is because we are simultaneously Earth’s people and heaven’s people. Our upright stature—with our head in the sky and our feet on the ground—is a symbolic reminder of this.
The true self is the part of you that knows there is more to life than just the surface level of this world. It is the part of you that urges you to choose according to your highest self. However, through life we develop more and more attachment to this physical world, and the voice of the true self becomes muffled. Fortunately, we have been given the struggles and obstacles of life to help us remember who we are.
No one likes problems. Nevertheless, all of your problems are a blessing. They all exist to help you realize your true self.
When facing any problem, remember that the problem itself is just an illusion that stems from the false self created by the ego. Most people make the critical error of focusing on the problem itself, which ironically just brings more of the same into being. What really matters is not why or how the problem is happening but your relationship to the problem. One thing is definitely true—you will never be able to hate your problem out of existence. What really matters is your attitude about it. To upgrade your attitude, you must first consider how your brain is operating in relationship to the problem.

Ilchi Lee Fan » Mago’s 3rd Truth - Enlightenment and the Earth-Human — December 3, 2008 @ 8:23 am
[...] Ilchi Lee says that I have known many people with romantic ideas about enlightenment. Many people pursue enlightenment as a means of escape, chasing after dreams of eternal peace or freedom, or trying to escape from some real world suffering or difficulties that they feel unable to deal with. However, this concept of enlightenment is so worthless that you won’t even ‘get a piece of stale bread with it! Such is not enlightenment. Enlightenment is something with a definite purpose and goal. We seek enlightenment so that we may become stronger and brighter. We seek enlightenment because we seek to benefit our immediate surroundings and the world. [...]
