| Book Description |
| |
This book contains selected poems of enlightenment, given form and voice through the personal experiences of Ilchi Lee. For the last twenty years, during states of deep meditation, Ilchi Lee has often experienced a natural flow of words that express his innermost thoughts and feelings. Accordingly, he says, "ˇBut I have never composed a poemˇ Poems come to me."
Ilchi Lee's beautiful words are both inspirational in their power to stir the soul, as well as straight forward in their message of truth. His poems provide us a place to rest, a soothing touch upon our hearts, and a guiding hand for our souls, giving us the courage and determination to transform ourselves. As in Healing Society and other previous works, he seeks to shatter the illusions about enlightenment and lead us to our True Selves. In short, his words are that of a spiritual guide on this journey of the soul that we call life.
Ilchi Lee's own drawings also grace the pages of this book. Created without any preconceived forms or images, the drawings reflect a natural flow of energy as expressed through his hand. These drawings may also serve as tools for meditation, as they are filled with a deep, inner smile. Read these words to your soul in the morning and night. They will be a most precious gift you give to your soul.

| Chapter Excerpt |
Divinity
Night filled with inky blackness
Stars whisper in my ear
Twinkling with merriment and delight;
The stars you see above
You see only with eyes.
I had thought so once
That it was I who saw in your eyes;
The raindrops pinging on the windows
Hearing only with ears;
The stars and the rain
Now that I truly open my eyes and ears
I realize that I am myself the stars and the rain;
A bright light sweeps through me
Then I am neither stars nor rain;
Truly realizing myself and all else
Life everlasting and whole
Cannot be formed into words.
Heavens' stars continue to twinkle
Heavens' raindrops continue to fall.
Self-Discovery
Everyone has it
To know what it is
Take a journey deep within
And open your eyes wide
Then you will know
That which exists within every heart
Someday, you will know
Someday, you will know
Everyone has it
Reminding them of something within
Awaking from a deep sleep
Possibility that is me
Now I see clearly
Through the veil of tears
With the ticket of my life in my hands
I go forward
Though I am only halfway there
I go forward still
Therein lies
Great possibility and light
Now many like me
Are awaking to their enlightenment
Yes, this is good
Now many like me
Are awaking to their enlightenment
Yes, this is good. |
