Does this sound like the familiar saying “Do your best with what you have”? Well, in a way it is. It might disappoint you that the highest insight you will get after all this is carpeting, which means “seize the day.” But what can I say? I want to help you, and this is the quickest and only way to achieve your goal. No matter what manner of wisdom you have attained, there is no other way to live right other than to live honestly, diligently, and responsibly. Such fair transactions comprise the nucleus of the truth and the essence of Tao as I know it.

Sharing My Story: Why Do I Do What I Do?

Finally, I would like to share an insight from my own story. Like yours, this journey of mine has not been easy. I have come through all the aforementioned steps and am still traveling on my journey to take responsibility for my choices.

Conclusion: The Meaning of Living Right

We started by talking about computers, and we have come a long way since that. We need a concrete conclusion that can help us live this life. Knowing what we know now. What is meant by “living right”? If we see only the patterns and not the reality behind them, we will always live in anxiety and fear, although it might be punctuated by fleeting moments of gaiety. If we see only the nothingness and not the marvelous pictures created by the flow of Life Current, we will sink into a morass of inactivity and emptiness.

Some people mistakenly think emptiness itself is enlightenment. This is definitely not so. It’s like going into a theater after the movie is over and staring at the empty screen. Seeing the world correctly means you perceive the harmonious process of Chun-Ji-In while enjoying the sights of its creations at the same time.

The lake will then become just water again. The nucleus that held the soul together need no longer be maintained, for it has been satisfied. Therefore, the Life Current that coalesced around this nucleus is loosed from the chain that bound it to the soul. Once free, it goes back to its original condition of absolute freedom.

No one knows how long this freedom will last. The time of freedom, from another point of view, could be the time before the Life Current is called forth again to come together around another seed of hope and give shape to another soul about to embark on a new journey. It is getting ready to dream a new dream. Just as our bodies decay and provide material for new life, Life Current is recycled continuously to serve the needs of the soul. This process is happening naturally without waiting for someone to attach a label or meaning to it. Put in human terms, we could call it an act of sacrifice and highest love, for it willingly gives up absolute freedom to help one seed of hope to come to fruition and be realized.

You always can choose your direction. Ask Your Heart and Talk with Your Brain

If your choice requires you to completely change your life, change directions, and leave the comfort and security of the path that you have walked so far, it is natural for hesitation and second thoughts to accompany such a decision. However, as you know already, more calculations and deliberation do not make the choice any easier or wiser. Ultimately, the decision is a one-time choice.

The question to ask is simple: What is it you really want? What are the things that fill your heart with hope and joy? Ask your soul and heart this question. There is no guarantee that your choice is the one that corresponds to that original hope that acted as the seed around which your soul was built. However, if you don’t ask your soul, where else would you direct the question? If not to your heart, then where?

It is time to put the idea of God under review. We have to see which pieces of information that make up “God” are still good and which have passed their date of expiration. We have to throw away the gods that still exist to create conflicts, desire revenge and destruction, and demand blind obedience and control. We have to throw away the masks of universality from those gods who claim to be for all people and expose them to their own reality as gods for a specific group or people, no longer useful to us as the whole of humanity. And if we find a god that is truly valuable to us, then we will reinstate its position and use it to our own ends. This process signifies a new discovery of social values and standards necessary to build a global village, not only of technology and economy, but of civilization: a human civilization.

God is information. However, there are two types of information. Let’s make a computer analogy. If you want to produce a document, you use a program for word processing. Your document, as well as the word processor, is a collection of information. One is document information and the other is program information, used to create more information in the form of documents. God is like the word processor.
