Ilchi Lee, Healing Society

Ilchi Lee says that brain stem is the core part of the body, which plays the crucial role in keeping our body equilibrium status.

If you say, “I did my best. This is good enough. I can’t do it any more or better.” Whether you say I can do it or not, you are right. If you take your limitations for granted and think of the limitation as permanent, you will never be able to overcome them. Brain stem does lots of things to keep the body alive. Our brain has three layers. Neocortex, limbic system and brain stem. Neocortex is only for primates and human beings. This is what Ilchi Lee calls the thinking brain. This part is what differentiate people from other animals. Animals don’t have the ability to think or reason. Next one is the limbic system. This is called the emotional brain. This is what mammals have and reptiles don’t. The last one is brain stem. This is the brain of life.

Which one of the three is most important? I don’t know what is most important, but am sure that brain stem is the most fundamental and basic. Without it, the other two brains cannot exist. When we believe in our innate power and focus, we can demonstrate our great potential power. We should trust our power and keep move on. Let’s not say too easily, “This is good enough.”
