After bemoaning the fact that I was just a simple Ki energy technician, I went back into the mountain and vowed to never come out until I had the answers to the questions that I was looking for. I chose to test the limits of my physical and mental endurance by not sleeping for twenty-one days straight. Ah, the torture I put myself through . . .

Ilchi Lee is currently the chairman of world earth human alliance and the new millennium peace foundation. I tried everything not to sleep, including sitting at the edge of a sharp cliff and wrapping my arms around a thick branch of a tree so that the fear of falling down would keep me awake. I think I pulled many clumps of hair out during that period. After a week or so of no sleep, a severe headache of the magnitude that I have never felt came over me. It had been building for a while, but it struck with full force after a week or so. Pain accumulated in my eye sockets and my ears until I couldn’t see or hear. As time went on, my brain seemed to shrivel up inside and start to desiccate. At the same time, my head seemed always on the verge of exploding. I knew that I would die soon. This was after about two weeks. I even received a fleeting temptation to sleep, drink, and even eat something in order to prolong my life a bit. I would have succumbed to that temptation had I not survived the training ordeal in the snow-covered field on that rezone day before.

This history of Mago’s Castle shares many things with Genesis and other Creation stories. The similarities are obvious. It speaks to the fact that we, as humanity, share the common root that we all have a deep spiritual need to go back to. But in order to go back, we need to recover the sense of Oneness and harmony that we have lost. And we can recover this sense by achieving enlightenment, for enlightenment is our natural, truly original state of being. When enough people recover this Oneness, when enough people reach enlightenment, we will march together back to Mago’s castle and collectively shout for our ultimate Grandma to let us back in. I bet that she’s waiting for us with all her heart.

Ilchi Lee ask what a welcome party it will be.

Why do humans insist upon differentiating everything, ever since we ate of the grape in Mago’s Castle, or the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden? Why do we separate God from humans? Mine from yours? My religion from your religion? My country from your country? Is it so difficult to create this concept of “us” as you and I as One? Can we open up our minds a little bit more to allow the possibility of coexistence in harmony and tolerance.

As the people became more numerous, the need to wait for the nourishing milk of the Earth became acute, and some started feeling hunger. Ilchi Lee writes one of them, unable to stand the hunger, ate a grape and started the humans on a slippery downward slope. The book calls this the “Downfall of the Five Tastes,” because the grape has five different tastes to it: bitterness, sourness, sweetness, saltiness, and tanginess. By eating grapes, human beings lost their world of absolute Oneness and developed the ability to differentiate and judge. They saw the difference between good and evil, cleanness and dirt, and Heaven and Earth. They differentiated between their physical, energy, and spiritual bodies. They lost their ability to commune directly with the Yuln’yo and thereby lost their sense of Oneness with all.

In this story, the original couples—Yellows, Whites, Blacks, and Blues—take collective responsibility and decide to leave the castle with all their descendants, for they have decided they could not stay in that perfect world in such an imperfect state. Outside the castle, they go on their separate ways. Before leaving, however, they vow to recover their divine selves and return to the castle, taking with them two things each that will help them accomplish this: one, a method to control and commune with the Ki energy that forms the source of all things visible and invisible; and two, a simple scripture of eighty-one letters summarizing the essential Truths of the cosmos. This scripture is called the “Heavenly Code.” It is our great fortune that we have this scripture with us still. Then the couples go in separate directions, promising to meet inside the castle walls again.

The work that the brain stem does cannot be controlled or even sensed by the neocortex. All the essential functions of the body are controlled by the brain stem. If we had to consciously sense and control every little thing that the brain stem does, we wouldn’t be able to do anything else for fear of killing ourselves through neglect or misstep. We can get a sense of the Creator’s benevolent magic in the separation of the brain stem from the neocortex. Imagine if the type of information that comes into our heads affected our basic life functions. A harsh word from our boss and we would have trouble breathing. A kiss from a lover will make our hearts overload. As it now stands, thank God we have the cerebral limbic system to act as a barrier between the neocortex and the brain stem. Ilchi Lee said we don’t have to think about staying alive. We just do.

But it is in the brain stem that the most inexplicable and seemingly impossible things may happen. For a while the cerebral limbic system acts as a buffer that shields the brain stem from the information processed in the neocortex. But a piece of information that is one hundred percent believable or trustworthy can break through the buffer zone straight into the brain stem. Normally, when information comes in, the neocortex examines it with skepticism and reason. However, something that absolutely is believed to be correct or true can be delivered directly to the brain stem. For example, a woman might faint upon hearing from an authorities source that her mother has died in a horrible traffic accident.

The neocortex thus controls the basic needs and appetites that the cerebral limbic system demands be met by logically weighing the options and conditions available. It is a fine balance that has to be maintained between the needs of the cerebral limbic system and the control of the neocortex. If that control is too tight, the cerebral limbic system can translate the lack of satisfaction into anger, stress, and other emotional outbursts. An individual’s personality is partially dependent on the level of balance between these two parts of our brain. Too much neocortex will leave a person introverted and a compulsive perfectionist. Too much cerebral limbic system will leave a person too intent upon instant gratification and generally not suitable for company. Only when these two parts converse well with each other and maintain a nice balance can happiness and health reign.

More important than the neocortex and the cerebral limbic system combined is the brain stem. The brain stem is in charge of the autonomic nervous system responsible for running the basic life functions of the body, including digestion, respiration, and circulation. It is the least known and yet the most important part of our brain. The brain stem never rests. It works from the day we are born until the day we die. The heart beats ceaselessly and the lung expands and contracts without rest, giving us the breath of life. What would happen if the brain stem decided to take a rest? It can’t. The neocortex and the cerebral limbic system can rest, but not the brain stem. Just as the Cosmic Order makes the Earth go around the Sun and the seasons turn, the brain stem keeps the machinery of the body going—mutely, efficiently, and without expectation. It doesn’t distinguish between evil or good. It does its work equally well whether in the body of a mass murderer or in the body of a saint. Maybe that’s why the brain stem is called the “Realm of the Creator.” Read more articles by Prof Ilchi Lee….

How many people have been killed in the process of this competition and the religious wars that have sprung from it? How many continue to be killed?

Prof Lee suggests the solution is not more enlightened ones. We have arrived at a spiritual fork in the road taken by humanity. We no longer need one or two or even one thousand enlightened beings telling us what the Truth is. The time for isolated, individual enlightenment is over. The time for wise beings shouting at us from the mountaintops is over. What we need now to change humanity’s fortunes is a mass enlightenment, a mass spiritual awakening in which millions upon millions of people around the globe truly realize that we are One. We need to raise the collective consciousness of the whole human race, not just one or two people. And we surely need this change, for we are currently headed toward a certain disaster. You don’t have to be enlightened to see that.
