Ilchi Lee: The Right to Choose Information
passion September 28th, 2007
From a translated lecture by Ilchi Lee
Our brains actually start out as blank slates. They respond according to the pictures we draw on them. We must draw on our brains pictures
Our brains actually start out as blank slates. They respond according to the pictures we draw on them. We must draw on our brains pictures of our own choosing. We have the right to do this. What kind of picture will you draw on your brain? Will you draw a peaceful picture? Will you draw a picture full of love? Will you draw a picture of growth or a picture of destruction? A brain continues to develop in the direction in which it is trained. If you use your right hand a lot beginning when you are very young, your right hand will develop; if you use your left hand more than your right hand, your left hand will develop. It’s the same principle. How will you train your brain? We have not been training our brains according to our own judgments. As a result of our social environments, many people have been controlling our brains without us even knowing it. Ultimately, we fail to become the masters of our brains; our environment plays this role instead. We were unable to choose information when we were young and just continued to accept it as it was given to us. We grew up in this process, through preschool, elementary school and so on, up to the present. As a result, our brains are not our own; they belong to our social environment. We must take a moment to determine whether the many bits of information in our brains serve to promote our own growth or exist for the sake of our society and country. Don’t we have the right to choose information? Will we have to accept certain information ourselves? We have the right to choose. And we must have the power to make judgments if we are to use that right.
