[ad#250x250]There are many types of sounds within us, such as those of our bodies, thoughts, and emotions. If we are attentive, we may notice that something or someone is constantly speaking. When we remain silent and listen intently as others speak to us, we are not hearing an outside voice only. Something is continually speaking within us. That being constantly reacts to all the information that we see and hear Ilchi Lee writes that in fact, that being is reacting even as you read this.

Our experience and knowledge is constantly being edited as we think, “I feel cold.” “I feel hot.” “I am hungry.” “That person is attractive.” On some occasions, when our mind is at peace, we can hear a different, distinctive voice.

As usual, another day is passing. Tlje weather is beautiful. I am taking a break from work to look outside my window. My body feels at ease, and my mind is dear and tranquil. Prom the depths of my heart, I feel a certain sense of yearning, a sense of loss, as if I have lost something very important, I cannot explain the feeling.

Then I suddenly hear, “Can this be it?” “What am I doing right now?” I look around me, as I am surprised to hear these kinds of questions. I feel self-conscious and awkward, so I hastily return to my work. Throughout the day, I keep recalling that unfamiliar voice. However, I do not tell anyone about it. I keep it concealed in my heart. That voice becomes masked by the noises of the world, and I forget about it for a long time

[ad#250x250]HUMAN TECHNOLOGY (HT) HELPS people gain and use practical tools for life. But tools have value only if they are used meaningfully. Thus, it is fitting that HT include an exploration of the purpose of life. It is not my intention to offer the following three chapters as religious doctrine.

These teachings are based on my direct personal experience, and I suspect that most sensible persons would agree with these simple ideas. I believe we all have a gut sense that it is possible to hear the voice of the soul. There is no proof. I can only tell you that I feel my soul, and I cherish it as my true essence.

So please read the next three chapters as a guide to the soul’s journey, in nonreligious language, for a 21st century human. We can describe this path in three successive stages: reflection. awakening, and choice and being.

“Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions, regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul’s journey, then Ilchi Lee suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.

Ki, also commonly spelled Chi or Qi, is a fundamental concept embraced by Asian philosophy, arts, medicine, and mind-body traditions. Ki is the word for the vital energy that is the true essence of every creation in the cosmos. Most people begin their understanding of Ki by experiencing it as bio-energy, or the basic life force in the body.

Ki is the bridge linking the body and mind; it is the essence of life, moving and flowing freely. The continuous joining together and drifting apart of Ki comprises the rhythm of the phenomenon of life. Everything in existence undergoes constant change. Everything around us, as well as our very lives, are temporary manifestations of Ki.

Ilchi Lee tells that although immersed in this grand flow of energy every moment of our lives, we are unable to sense its currents without properly attuned senses. Our over dependence on rational thought and language has obscured our natural ability to sense the flow of energy. However, we can regain our innate ability to feel the slight but pervasive vibrations that define our existence. It is up to us to reawaken this “sixth sense,” By opening blockages in the energy pathways and reawakening our innate ability to sense energy flow, we can recover our health and natural balance. When we develop sensitivity to Ki, we will be able to utilize our bodies’ potential more fully.

No specific location is necessary for Dahn Yoga training. It can be practiced indoors or outdoors. The training methods introduced here can be used in your office or at a rest stop when you need a break during a long road trip. To enjoy the maximum benefits of Dahn Yoga, however, it’s good to have a set place for your practice. Choose a quiet location with little noise and enough space for stretching. Also, make sure that the temperature is neither too hot, nor too cold.

Wear comfortable attire that does not inhibit movement. We recommend clothes made of a natural fiber that are absorbent, lightweight, and breathable. It’s a good idea to train without shoes, if possible.

It is best to train two to three hours after eating. Dahn training includes movements that bend the body forward or backward and twist it from side to side, so you might feel discomfort if you train on a full stomach. Training in the morning is a great way to kick off an energy-filled day, but you should choose whatever time works best for you.

Try to set a fixed time for training, if possible—ideally, one to one-and-a-half hours. However, if this is not practical, you should train for at least 20 minutes. It is best to train every day, but if this is not possible, then two to three times a week is sufficient. Although this book will serve as a basic guide, the best way to learn Dahn Yoga is to get the instruction and guidance of a professional instructor at a Dahn center.

The Dahn Yoga program includes principles and techniques for improving emotional patterns, as well as physical condition. In particular, it has many elements that improve the quality of social interaction and communication skills. It is also helpful for correcting unhealthy habits, such as smoking, overeating, and the like. As will be explained in greater detail later, the key principles of Dahn Yoga and its systematic methods of training make this possible.

The roots of the Dahn Yoga extend several thousand years back into Korean history. It began as a training program designed to educate the Korean population for the development of both mind and body. It was practiced on a daily basis with the intention of maintaining people’s health and developing their potential to become ideal humans. Up until 2,000 years ago, this educational method was practiced and transmitted by wise men to each generation. Dahnhak contributed to the health and political unity of the Korean people for many hundreds of years. However, the Korean people failed to keep the Dahnhak tradition alive.

During his personal journey toward self-realization and self-discipline, llchi Lee rediscovered the tradition and modernized it. He first started teaching Dahnhak to a stroke patient he met in a small park in Anyang, Korea. In 1985, the first Dahn center opened in Seoul, Korea. Since that time, the program has expanded throughout the world with more than 600 centers offering Dahn Yoga to more than 200,000 active practitioners. The tradition of offering the exercises continues in thousands of public parks, schools, assisted living centers, and college campuses in Korea, the United States, Canada, Japan, and other countries.

Ilchi Lee is brain educator and founder of Dahn Yoga. He said in his book that you have to have a rich and spacious emotional life. Often we make the mistake of enviously thinking that someone who is devoid of emotions is someone free from them. However, there is a difference between non-sensibility and insensibility. A New Human exhibits the range of emotions: he gets angry when anger is justifiable, exhibits sadness when sadness is called for, expresses joy when joy is due. Emotion is not something to be suppressed and controlled, but something that must be enjoyed as a tool of life. Only when emotions are given natural and healthy rein will you be able to play well with others and with Nature. Earth, and Heaven. Therefore, a New Human is someone who plays well.

Fourth, you have to listen to your conscience. Just because it is obvious does not mean all people heed it. Conscience arises out of your love for the truth and desire to become truthful. Conscience is an expression of our perfectness. our divinity within. Because of the conscience, we instinctively seek to return to a state of perfectness if we step out of it. and to return to a state of balance when we have lost it. Without a conscience, health in body and mind, high intellect, and societal capability are tools that have lost their purpose. Even worse, without a conscience, these tools can be used to kill rather than heal as was intended. Conscience is an inner need for the truth and perfection based on our acknowledgment of the divinity within.

Fifth, you have to become divine. Divinity in life does not refer to a type of superhuman ability to see and hear things that normal humans can’t. A spirit is information. Spirit is communicated through energy vibrations. When our brain waves are allowed access to the energy vibrations of the spirit, we are said to be inspired. Since all things in the universe are filled with spiritual energy, every existence is already divine. The level of divinity of a person, therefore, depends on the level of spiritual information. To be divine means you are privy to a higher quality of information.

First, you have to be healthy in body and mind. It may be too obvious to mention, but how can you help others and the world when you are not healthy yourself and need others’ care instead?

It is in this vein that health is the most basic precondition to becoming a New Human. When I started the New Human movement twenty years ago, I started teaching calisthenics in a local park. However, more important than having a physically strong body is the establishment of a correct relationship between mind and body. Know who is the master. Be certain that health is needed not just to cater to the whims of the body.

Second, you have to be societally capable. You have to be able to take care of your own basic living needs, for how do you expect to help anyone else if you don’t know where your next meal is coming from? This is why education is important, for it gives you the skills with which you can become self-sufficient in society. Societal capability can be defined as a combination of information and skills. There is no standard of information retention or skills achievement for you to be designated as a societally capable person, however, you should know and do enough to achieve the goals that you have chosen for yourself. For a person with a strong sense of life’s purpose, diligence in learning knowledge and/or skills will be a given, for he knows he needs these to achieve his goals. Read more about Ilchi Lee.

The reason I have modernized this philosophy and teach it to as many as possible is that it corresponds perfectly to the truth I was awakened to, and because the philosophy is broad enough to include the whole of Earth on Her march to a worldwide spiritual civilization.

The essence of the Dahnhak educational system is not “studying” in the ordinary sense of the word, but it can be characterized more as the recovery of senses. The goal of Dahnhak is the recovery of the Yuln ‘yo, the natural rhythm of life that resides in humans and within all life, leading to a harmonious life. Yuln’yo is eternal life, light, sound, and vibration that exist wholly within and with itself. I describe this also as cosmic energy and cosmic mind. Even now, Yuln’yo is active within all life, beating and pulsing as the reality behind it. This is the energy that makes the Sun burn, Earth turn, and our hearts beat.

Dahnhak is an experiential educational system that helps people to recover the Yuln ‘yo within so that they would establish a harmonious relationship with each other, with nature, and ultimately become one with the grand harmony among Heaven, Earth, and Human.

A person who has recovered Yuln’yo in his heart I call “New Human” or an “Earth Human.” A New Human has a capacity for love large enough to care not only for himself but for all existence. A New Human has a noble purpose that benefits the whole world. A New Human has commitment to and honesty about his purpose and can actualize it through living. A perfect human, an ideal human—it sounds glamorous, but it can be simple to achieve, for all you are doing is becoming what you were meant to be in the first place. You are becoming a healthy, beneficial human being. Perhaps a New Human could also be termed “An originally intended human.”

You will never find the set of equations behind the image, no matter how long or how deeply you examine the image. Only when you have the insight to discern the underlying order behind such complicated imagery will you get a glimpse of the equation that drives the image. What is this equation if not information, occupying neither space nor time? This information, a zero by definition, is the driving creative force behind an intricate and magnificent image. Zero, therefore, contains infinite possibilities and an infinite range of expression. The imagery may belong in the world of output and expression, but the equation that provides it belongs in the realm of information.

In a futile effort to find the underlying truth of existence,  Ilchi Lee instructs that we peer into the farthest reaches of the universe and split subatomic particles into smaller units. However, these techniques will only enable us to see the smallest particles that the prevailing technology affords. It will not help us “see” the reality behind existence, which is information. Since the world of information is zero, even the tiniest particle is larger than zero. Zero cannot be captured by the most sensitive radar nor the most powerful electron microscope. Why? Because it’s zero. How can you see that which is nothing?

You can describe the world of zero as nothingness or emptiness. Mathematically, zero is nothing, and, in physics, zero is termed empty. Information can be described as the pattern of waves upon this “body of water” called zero. But how would you differentiate between waves and water? This is why I call the realm of information the realm of zero. You cannot separate the water from the waves. How then could we recognize this realm of 0? There is only one radar in the world sensitive enough to detect this world, and that is your mind. If you truly want to know the source of existence, look deeply into your own mind first.

Look around you. You see many objects: the clock on the wall, the cup on the table. Without any thought, observe these objects. How do you know that they are actually there? What if these objects are just images projected onto a screen called three-dimensional reality? What is the reality behind these images? This is nothingness and emptiness.

Compare an image projected onto a screen three feet away and a screen thirty feet away. Which image will be larger? Of course, the image on a screen thirty feet away would be far larger. Assuming that the projector is powerful enough, then the image on a screen 300 feet away would be even larger. However, no matter how large the image gets, the information contained by this image is the same throughout, zero. Zero, because the image is just a reflection or the expression of the information that lies behind its reality. The image is not the information itself.

A three-foot projection of Mt. Everest and a life-sized projection of Mt. Everest are different in terms of size, but not in terms of information. Information itself is not bound by the space and time within which the projected image exists. This is the realm of information, which, although it exists, does not occupy time nor space.

You could look into every tiny corner of this large projected image, but you would not find the information reality behind it. No matter how far you travel, or how deep you delve, you are still within the confines of the projected image. You cannot capture that “something” behind the image.

Prof Ilchi Lee says that this reminds me of Mandelbrot’s images. A brilliant mathematician, Benoit Mandelbrot is the father of fractal geometry, and his equation is often used in chaos theory. The special characteristic of Mandelbrot’s design is that, on the surface, it looks extremely intricate and complicated. However, these constantly varying and intricate images are created by a simple set of equations. Any section of the image, when magnified, is identical to the image as a whole. This happens no matter how much you increase the magnification.
