Good information is key to programming the operating system to help you achieve health, happiness and peace. For example, cancer patients are often told to visualize white blood cells as valiant knights on beautiful white steeds, coming to kill the enemy invader, the cancer cells. These patients are essentially bombarding their bodies with empowering thought that runs in opposition to the highly negative information that usually surrounds the word cancer. The same sort of concept can be applied to any problem or desire you have in your life. All you need is positive information and a way of processing that information that fully supports your intent.
Think of Brain Wave Vibration as a way of rebooting your computer, your brain. Choose the information you want to insert and think of it as a service pack, something that will help your brain operate in accord with your wishes. If you look at the progress of your life so far, it will not be hard for you to figure out how your brain operating system might not be working in accord with your dreams. It will be especially evident in any self-doubt or negative assumption you hold. As you practice Brain Wave Vibration, visualize yourself deleting these limitations and replacing them with completely positive, supportive beliefs.
Ilchi Lee says he wants to encourages you to set a truly marvelous goal for yourself. Don't choose something small and safe that you already know you can achieve without much of a problem. Rather, choose something that would amaze even you if you were to achieve it. Choose something that fills you with delight just to think about. If some part of you says, "But I could never do that," just dismiss it as some out-of-date part of your operating system that needs to be replaced.
Of course, Ilchi Lee says in his book Brain Wave Vibration, he knows it is not so easy to set a grand goal. Like anything, it needs practice. You can practice by moving toward your big dream through small achievements. Like a marathoner, you need to run the first mile to run two miles. Eventually, you will reach the finish line. But how do you know you have set the right goal? Joseph Campbell is famous for saying, "Follow your bliss." Ilchi Lee says he thinks this applies here. If your goal makes you genuinely happy over the long term, it is probably in accord with your true self and therefore will be genuinely satisfying to you. Since the true self thrives on service to others, rather than to self, you will probably find some goal that will do amazing feats to heal and transform humanity and the world.
The brain has the remarkable power to produce results according to its master's intention. That is why it is important to use the brain only for causes that are productive, creative and peaceful. If the brain only works for the ego's satisfaction, no matter how productive or creative it might be, it will make your life miserable -- you will never have peace. That is why setting the right goal becomes crucial.
