Connection and spiritual life
admin August 16th, 2008
Ilchi Lee says that to a human being, there are three kinds of life. One is physical life. This is what all living things on the earth have. From mammals, fish, bugs, reptiles, birds and even bacteria all have physical life. Without it, they cannot literally survive.
Second is social life. This is what some mammals have too. Not all living things have this. For example, lions fight each other until they figure out which male one is the most powerful one. And he leads the group of lions. These animals fight for their social life very fiercely. When two animals fight to get the title of the leader, they often risk their lives. They fight until one is dead or so wounded that he gives up. Once they figure out who is the winner and the leader, they follow his order and leadership. He enjoys having sex with female lions, while other male ones should be very careful when they have sex for their leader not to know it.
People want social life too. That is why they work so hard to have success. However, if all people strive only for success, the peace for society and humanity will not be possible. Since social life takes recognition and competition, conflict, despair and frustration inevitably follow. Sense of inferiority results in hatred and revenge. That’s why we have so many wars in the current world, even though we have so many religions, religious leaders, NGOs for peace and political leaders who claims that they want peace.
It is all about connection. Please find quotes by Ilchi Lee on connection. You should really feel deeply that all humans are connected. Only then you should feel spiritual life. And when you have spiritual life, you can feel that all are connected. As far as success is concerned, because normally success is based on competition, not all people can gain success. However if people live their lives for completion, it is different story. There is no limitation of completion. You don’t need to compete with others for completion. You should only fight with yourself for completion. The gate of completion is open to everybody and all human beings can gain completion.
