This is what Ilchi Lee says about vision in the book, “The 12 Englightenments for Healing Society.”  I think is it is a rather inspiring definition.

“A vision is not a pie in the sky.  A vision is: one, good enough to make your face shine with joyful light when you think about it; two, fulfilling enough to provide you with an untiring motivation; three, attractive enough to deserve all your concentraion and energy; four, useful enough to gain the appreciation of those around you; and five, concrete and clear enough so that everyone can determine whether you succeded.”

I remember my first healing session at dahn yoga about 5 years ago.  I was asked to write down everything I thought I needed healing.  I wound up filling up a 8.5 X 11 page to the corners and the look on his face when I handed it back to him.  I think most of those things are not what really needed healing, they were just a list of things I needed to overcome by myself and that he would help me in whatever way possible

There are so many definitions of what Enlightenment is all about and advice on how to obtain it. It all gets and feels so complicated and mysterious. But according to a lecture by Ilchi Lee,  “And so, when I am asked what enlightenment is, I always say simply, “Enlightenment is a choice. The goal in our seeking enlightenment is to choose well. My experience is that this is at its heart. What’s important is choosing something good and then concentrating on what you have chosen. Choose HSP. All you have to do is respect and remain true to that choice. If you continue to repeat it, what you chose will be achieved.”

In a lecture, Ilchi Lee equates enlightenment and true love. One can only love this way when one is in touch with his or her true self. Only an enlightened soul can hope to get in touch with this true love:
Enlightenment is true love.
Without knowing your True Self, it is hard to know what true love is.
Although we have spoken of true love throughout history, loving without knowing your True Self cannot be true love.
Exploring the roots of this kind of love, you will eventually find betrayal and attachment.
The reason we must become enlightened is to recover the true love that lies insides our hearts.

Yuln’yo
 

by Ilchi Lee, from Healing Society: A prescription for Global Enlightenment The eternal Cosmic Order that governs all, this I call Yuln’yo. You cannot touch Yuln’yo, or smell it or see it. Yuln’yo is the essence of the order that has governed all life since the beginning, having itself no beginning or end. Yuln’yo is not some cold set of physical laws that dictates the interactions of matter, but a pulsating, warm consciousness that envelops and gathers all. Yuln’yo expresses itself through light, sound, and vibration that form the natural symphony of the cosmos. We can most immediately feel the power of Yuln’yo through our heartbeats, the steady and faithful pounding that started in the womb and is now echoing through the universe. This is the rhythm of life. Through this rhythm, we can join the everlasting harmony of the cosmos.

It’s an interesting question.  I was reading about it in Human Technology by Ilchi Lee.   He says inhaling takes energy, while exhaling does not require much energy at all.  And life begins by emptying oneself and letting that empty place to be filled.  When I let go of something small (the small breath I hold on to), I gain something great (the atmosphere of nature).  This kind practice can lead to enlightenment. 

Ilchi Lee has said that if life ends with an inhalation then the people cannot let go when they die.  But if they die with an exhalation they have released their physical body and their soul can move freely.

In a lecture, Ilchi Lee discusses peace in the same way as breathing – it is that accessible. It is a choice that each individual makes for himself or herself. We have personal responsibility to attain peace. Here are his words, “Peace, like our breath, exists very comfortably and very close to us. Peace is our very breath and life. This is why anyone can discover peace and help to bring it about. Peace is everyone’s purpose in life, not the province of a few select individuals. It is not something that a select group of politicians, artists, or even religious leaders can do for us. You and I, one individual at a time, are all creators and benefactors of peace, as well as its beneficiaries. Until now, responsibility for peace fell on people of influence. Now we must reclaim our own responsibility and right to peace. Those who truly love humanity, the Earth, and peace are experts in peace. One who truly loves life is a specialist in peace.”

Hong ik – means widely benefiting, to benefit all (or many).  To keep a hong ik mind is what we need to do more and more as the earth is calling to us.  When we recycle, avoid littering, purchase items that use less packing, smile just for no reason at all, be kind when we don’t have to, love whenever we can, we are living a like of hong ik.

We all have a dream to let the flower in our hearts blossom
Once in our lives, we must let that flower blossom
For that is the reason we have come to this world

I hope that each of you will bloom that flower in your heart
For the moment the scent of that flower imbues your surroundings
That very scent will be your love for the world

For all those who wish to find their dream and realize it
I give you a flower blossom this morning
