Since I have never orbited the Earth, I have not seen the Earth in her entirety. However, I know that the Earth is absolutely stunning in her beauty, not because I have seen the photos taken from space, but because I know that she is the source and the root of all life, as we know it. How can she be anything less than beautiful? I eat, breathe, and live because the Earth so graciously allows me to.
I am not a geologist familiar with all the wonderful details of Earth’s make up, nor am I an ardent environmental activist courageous enough to block bulldozers from removing trees with my own body. However, I am deeply aware that I exist only because the Earth exists. I am also someone who has spent all of my adult life examining ways in which we may achieve world peace. I am doing my best to contribute to its realization. Above all else, I am someone who can feel the energy and soul of the Earth. I can feel the sadness and grief that the Earth feels as she watches her children destroy themselves along with her. I feel the Earth’s soul quiver, not with fear and anger at the destruction wrought by humanity, but with the concern and love that she holds for all of life, in her bosom. I write this book to share the soul of the Earth as I feel her everyday.
Ilchi Lee tells that I believe that the two most important focal points for all of humanity in the 21 st century are the Earth, and the human brain. The health of the Earth is the only standard that is all encompassing enough to overcome the ethnic, cultural, religious, and national boundaries that are rending the world asunder. This alone can bring humanity together under a common system of life values, while preserving the wonderful traditions of the various peoples of the world in their spectacular diversity. Only the Earth can become the central axis around which world peace can be spun, for no religion is more compelling, no nation larger, and no peoples older than the Earth herself.
