Love Is the Answer

Every answer lies in loving yourself.
Love yourself all the way to the end.
Love all the way to the end
until you feel it throughout your entire body.
Love until tears flow from your eyes and you are so deeply touched by that love.
Love at all times.

There’s No Good or Evil

November 23rd, 2011 | Posted in Journal

The year 2012 will begin an era of a new spiritual civilization.

Bold statement you say? How can I be so sure? What exactly is a new spiritual civilization?

The era of the new spiritual civilization is the time when we all express our role as the divine, as God.

Do you know that you are God? I think we need a new definition of God. God is not a being who gives blessings or curses. God does not ask for worship or the giving of glory. In fact, God is the natural creative force in the universe. There is no good or evil, there is simply the Great Law of Nature that describes how things work, like gravity.

Human beings are beings originally connected with God. We are naturally divine humans, or Shin In in Korean. The era of the new spiritual civilization is the Shin In era. We actualize ourselves as Shin In when we restore our humanity, or recover our welfare. That means helping others, or being Hong Ik, and it means living within the Great Laws of Nature and growing your soul. That’s how we reconnect with our divinity.

Is what you are doing now helping others or causing them suffering? If you have caused suffering to others, then you willingly take responsibility for it. You are not damned for eternity for it.

Shin In are creators; they are managers of the earth who make fusion happen. They put together something new out of what’s already there because they have a dream. For example, with the iPad, Steve Jobs showed us the value and result of fusion. An era of fusion is coming, one of synergy and interaction where people will create a bright world together. Right now, that give and take is not happening freely.

All of humanity will live as Shin In the era of spiritual civilization. It will happen through breathing and meditation—something humanity already does (albeit mostly unconsciously). That’s the main message of my latest book, The Call of Sedona: Journey of the Heart.

In this new era in which all humans will be connected to their divinity, they can live and make decisions based on their sixth sense—their intuition or spiritual insight. From there, consciousness goes up to the 7th and 8th sense and so on. That’s what the breathing and meditation is for. It helps us see the world from a distance while becoming one and feeling oneness with it. Then our sense of humanity is recovered and we understand the value of our lives. We know that the earth and the sky, the moon and the stars are ours.

But the era of the Shin In, the divine human, can only be established by human beings. We simply have to decide. For example, I now declare that January 1, 2012 will begin the era of a new spiritual civilization. I have the right to make this declaration as one human who loves the earth.

Now that the era is declared and we know it’s coming, it will happen through a community of enlightened people, of Shin In. It cannot be decided or brought about by a country or a religion. It comes about when many people accept it as the greatest blessing in the history of humanity. The moment a person understands that, that person becomes enlightened. The important thing is choosing it and when you’ve made that choice you have to declare it and from that moment a new time begins.

The Manifestation of Greatness

To manifest greatness in your life, first, believe that you already have a great soul within. Then, when you look inside, you can see it.

Awakening to the great soul inside of you is a natural occurrence. Many of us have lost that natural state of being. But anyone can rediscover their greatness by wiping away their doubt and fear, and recovering clarity of mind, through breathing and meditation.

A realization of your innate greatness occurs when your brain reaches a certain special state. The life of a person who has met their great soul takes on a new consciousness. That’s what I call enlightenment. It’s an expansion and deepening of awareness that lies beyond the intellect.

This brain state is followed by changes in your physical body. In the same way, inner self-realization extends beyond your inside to your outer environment. It is beyond the limitations of the material world, while at the same time it affects it. Awakening to the greatness within is the beginning of a spiritual life and a spiritual civilization.

Success

Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people's ways.
In doing just the best you can,
With every task and every plan.
It's silence when your speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor's curt.
It's deafness when the scandal flows,
And sympathy with others' woes.
It's loyalty when duty calls,
It's courage when disaster falls.
It's patience when the hours are long,
It's found in laughter and in song.
It's in the silent time of prayer,
In happiness and in despair.
In all of life and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.

The Perfect Mistake

My Mother's father worked as a carpenter. On this particular day,
he was building some crates for the clothes his church was
sending to orphanages in China. On his way home, he reached into
his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. When he
mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what had
happened; the glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and
fallen into one of the crates, which he had nailed shut. His
brand new glasses were heading for China!

The Great Depression was at its height and Grandpa had six
children. He had spent $20 for those glasses that very morning.
He was really upset by the thought of having to buy another pair.
"It's not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration.
"I've been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your
work, and now this."

Months later, the director of the orphanage was on furlough in
the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that
supported him in China, so he came to speak one Sunday at my
grandfather's small church in Chicago.

The missionary began by thanking the people for their
faithfulness in supporting the orphanage. "But most of all," he
said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You
see, the Communists had just swept through the orphanage,
destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.
Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing
those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I
experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were much
in prayer about this. Then your crates arrived. When my staff
removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses wedged between
two blankets.

The missionary paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then,
still gripped with the wonder of it all, he continued: "Folks,
when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been
custom made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of
that."

The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But the
missionary surely must have confused their church with another,
they thought. There were no glasses on their list of items to be
sent overseas. But sitting quietly in the back, with tears
streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the
Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

There are times we want to blame God instead of thanking him!
Perhaps it is something we ought to try more often, "Thank you,
God, for not allowing my car to start this morning." He may have
been saving your life from a car accident. "Lord Jesus, thank you
for letting me lose my glasses; I'm sure they'll be put to good
use or there is a lesson to be learned."

I have to remember this in these times of trial with my own
family.

May GOD bless your week. Look for the perfect mistakes.

God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus. - Phil 4:19

Are You Ready by I. Lee

If you divide the human consciousness into three levels, beneath the conscious there is the unconscious, and beyond the unconscious there is the superconscious.

When you have reached the state of the superconscious, you are able to see your soul. Your consciousness is not always awake, so it cannot always see your soul. The part of your consciousness that’s awake is the superconscious.

In a state of the superconscious, it becomes possible for you to meet your mystical and beautiful soul, and you can feel what it is that your soul truly wants. That’s when your soul becomes liberated.

Having embodied selflessness or "non-being" (Mu-ah) through breathing and meditation, your consciousness reaches a state of pureness, and you can enter into the superconscious. There, you will be able to access divine inspiration, which, unlike thoughts and ideas, will guide you to the path of your soul.
