Extract From Ilchi Lee’s New Famous Book

We live in the Information Age, defined by absolute belief in the supremacy of information as a means to self-sufficiency and freedom. This causes are to be continually in search of more and more information in a never-ending cycle of anxiety. However, no matter how much information you possess, information in and of itself does not guarantee a better life. Instead, too much information can make you indecisive. Negative and twisted information can infect your value system itself.

We are a collage of information. Who we think we are is actually a hodgepodge of information that includes name, age, job description, salary, family, friends, and coworkers. It includes likes and dislikes, happy memories, painful memories, resentments, future dreams and goals, skills, knowledge, and countless other bits of information. Combined information creates a unique set of information that is you and is me. Therefore, in a way, the worth of a person is determined by the quality and quantity of information held.

So, in essence, we are a collection of information. However, we are also the masters of this information. Unfortunately, most of us do not realize that we have the freedom and ability to choose and transform the information that bombards us every day of our lives. Instead, we act as a passive receptacle for the flow of information that continually washes over us. Eventually we forget that we are more than just an accumulation of information. We forget that we are masters of the information that makes us.
