I am sorry I got Seuseung Ilchi Lee's name wrong. He did have a satori like experience whilst practising Tai Chi Chuan.

As for his playing down of any Chinese connections is unfortunate. Korean people shared a lot of traditions and culture of Chinese people but due to nationalism and brainwash by the Western Cabal, the kind of distance themselves from the Chinese so that they can claim authenticity. It is sad but the Japanese, Tibetans and Mongolians show the same traits...they want to kill off the Chinese so that they can claim authenticity.

I am sure Seuseung Ilchi Lee is spiritually advanced to transcend that, but he has thousands of Korean followers who will not take kindly to his connection to Chinese Tao tradition. Even the most evolved saints have some kind of " ego " and most of them lessen the impact of their ego rearing the ugly head by " omitting to reveal all ". Look at Lobsang Rampa and his diatribes against anything Chinese but choosing to ignore the atrocities the Lama establishment did to the Dzongpa people and the original Dropa tribe.

Now let me be fast to admit that the TAO is not the property of the Chinese. The TAO traditions belong to the world, whole Cosmos. The Tao did not originate from Lao Tze; he just articulated the salient points suitable to be written down. The rest of the TAO has to be felt in the heart centre, the " knowing faculty " of our SPIRIT AND SOUL THAT IS EMBEDDED IN OUR SOUL BODY. The TAO cannot be revealed, understood or known WITHOUT RESONANCE WITH OUR SOUL.

The Earth's elevation in frequency onSeptember 27, 2015 will be TAO IN MOTION in this reality. If critical mass is reached whereby enough humans attain realisation to move in synchronicity with Mother Earth, then the process will be relatively smooth and fluid. If not, there will be cleansing involved. Cleansing is not a bad thing but in this physical reality it can look and seem " ugly "!
