The Return to Oneness

Ilchi Lee says, he believes that information comes to us in three important forms, and together these elements have amazing power to transform brain waves—as well as lives and ultimately our entire planet.

First, there is music, which contains the power to create mood and evoke emotion. Second, there is message, which forms the structure of our belief systems and influences the quality of our relationships. Third, there is action, which is the ultimate reflection of our brain’s content.

Ilchi Lee continues:

“If we can learn to use all three of these things well, think we can find great hope for ourselves and the planet. A favorite song of mine—”From a Distance,” sung by Bette Midler—has two of these three elements. It combines music with message for a powerful effect—and it can also inspire you to act if you believe in its message. I love the lyrics, because they remind me where we are all going.”

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace,
it’s the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They’re the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves,
it’s the heart of every man.
It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.
