I see the brain as similar, in some ways, to a computer. Granted the brain is far more complex and can be modified through self-directed intention, which is certainly not the case with computers. However, I think it is a useful analogy to think in terms of the brain possessing an operating system.

Every brain, like every computer, has an operating system through which it processes the programs it receives. If you have not been able to create your life as you really want, then perhaps you simply can’t run that program on your current brain operating system. To do so would be like trying to run a current computer program on a version of Windows from the 1980s.

Your operating system is the system of beliefs and preconceptions through which you interact with the world.

At the time, it seemed as it these questions that occupied my mind were haunting I like a dark specter, but now I have come to see them as a gift that allowed me to really get to the underlying nature of life, in spite of the pain involved.

No one likes problems. Nevertheless, all of your problems are a blessing. They all exist to help you realize your true self.

When facing any problem, remember that the problem it-sell is just an illusion that stems from the false self created by the ego. Most people make the critical error of focusing on the problem itself, which ironically just brings more of the same into being. What really matters is not why or how the problem is happening but your relationship to the problem. One thing is definitely true—you will never be able to hate your problem out of existence. What really matters is your attitude about it. To upgrade your attitude, you must first consider how your brain is operating in relationship to the problem.

Being the A student he was, he sincerely wanted to answer the question. He could not find an answer; he just stared at the ceiling.

“What is the purpose of our life?” I asked.
“Do you know?” he returned.
“I don’t. That’s why I am asking.”
“Let’s stop. There are so many other questions to solve.”
“But everything hangs on the answer to this. It is the first thing to solve,” I said.

Not too much later, my roommate requested to live in another dorm with someone else. It was no wonder, given my obsessive behavior and my brooding nature. Most of my peers avoid¬ed me, my grades suffered, and I had no sense of direction.

I could not concentrate, and my moods fluctuated wildly. I remember a conversation with my high school roommate, a straight-A student who my parents hoped would have a good influence on me.

He always sat studying at his desk, as soon he got home from school. One day, I sat there staring blankly at the back of his head as he studied.

“What are you doing?” 1 asked.
“Can’t you see?! I’m studying,” he replied.
“Why are you studying?” I asked.
“A quid is coming up. I have to get good grades to get into a good college.”
“Why do you want to go to college?”
“To be successful”
“What arc you going to do after becoming successful?”
“Live happily.”
“What is happiness?”

Finally, he turned around, perplexed by my question.

This is because we are simultaneously Earth’s people and heaven’s people. Our upright stature—with our head in the sky and our feet on the ground— is a symbolic reminder of this.

The true self is the part of you that knows there is more to life than just the surface level of this world. It is the part of you that urges you to choose according to your highest self. However, through life we develop more and more attachment to this physical world, and the voice of the true self becomes muffled. Fortunately, we have been given the struggles and obstacles of life to help us remember who we are.

As a youngster, I was completely vexed by this predicament, but I had no wav to solve it or to understand it.

Lie down comfortably. Have both of your hands side of your body having your palms facing upward. Breathe in and out naturally and slowly. Focus on your breathing. Feel your body. Once you feel that you are centered and calm, raise your hands and feet. Straighten the elbow and flex the wrist. Your palms should face upward. Bend your knees to 90 degrees. Bend the ankles to 90 degrees too.

You can feel that your lower abdomen is naturally tensed. As you breathe in and out, you might be able to feel that your lower abdomen goes up and down naturally. Keep the posture for 5 minutes. If you feel your lower back hurt, don’t push yourself too much.

This is called the Sleeping Tiger posture. This posture helps a practitioner strengthen the lower abdomen and accumulate energy. It’s great for circulating fresh energy in the body and releasing stress and tension.

One of the hottest trends in the tourism field is the integration of hospitality with ecology and sustainability. A leader in this area is the Tao Fellowship, a nonprofit foundation with the mission “Love for the Earth and Love for Humanity.”

The best way to describe Tao Fellowship’s expression of its commitment to ecotourism and sustainability is the term eco-harmony. Humans are the children of the Earth and the Earth is our mother.

Tao Fellowship’s most complete example of its ecotourism commitment is the Sedona Mago Garden, which has accumulated many green credentials and it has plans for more. Mago means Mother Earth in several Asian cultures.

Partnering with the Institute of Ecotourism, Sedona, Tao Fellowship’s Mago Garden earned Five Leaves, the highest level possible on the Green Checklist, a system for evaluating eco-sensitive and sustainability performance. On a 100-point scale, an organization needs a score over 90 to get the Five Leaves designation. Very few businesses in the greater Sedona area come close to Tao Fellowship’s achievement of earning the highest category.

Tao Fellowship has used its goals and resources at Mago Garden for 10 years to create a paradise on Earth in Sedona. With its unique natural beauty and vortex-energy amid Coconino National Forest, the 160-acre Mago Garden has become an ideal environment for the renewal, training, and healing for guests from around the world. Tao Fellowship is not just talking the talk but instead genuinely walking the walk.

Because of Tao Fellowship’s development of Mago Garden, innovative holistic training programs aim to enhance health, happiness and peace, based on the Brain Education System Training (BEST) methods, developed by Ilchi Lee during the past 30 years, first in South Korea and lately in Sedona. The perfection of Nature at Mago Garden provides a prime force to help all guests and training participants learn, heal and grow.

The Tao Fellowship has pursued a strategy for Mago Gardeb that enhances its natural setting – with its mountains, hills, red rocks, gardens, a lake, ponds, and abundant greenery. Also regarding facilities at Mago Retreat, Tao Fellowship has created a genuine harmony with Nature based on green criteria – regarding its meeting rooms, guest rooms, meditation areas, pool-spa, horse stables, and a water management system.
