Ilchi Lee on Life
What do you think of life? What your view of life? Ilchi Lee says on life that if you think the life given to you is yours, you are greatly deluded. We have not made a contract to get this life. We don’t have the life because we asked the creator for. We don’t know when and where this life will leave me. Death doesn’t give us an advance notice. All we can know is that this life given to us is available for our use. Our lives are part of the great life of the cosmos. The idea that “the life given to me is not mine” takes a dramatic shift on our view of the world and life. And, in turn, the idea will make a significant change in our life, once we apply it to our lives.
Ilchi Lee says “The selfishness and obsessions within us begin with the thought that this life is mine.” I am greatly moved by this line. Life belongs to no one. The life is given to a human being for a short time, only to return to its source. The life given to us does not belong to us.
