According to Ilchi Lee research third, the basis of our transactions will change from competition to cooperation. If we forsake our conscience for personal gain, it is sad evidence that we have not yet recognized enlightenment. To be enlightened is to remain true to our conscience, faithful to our divinity, and thus to our eternal soul. On this basis, we will maintain mutual respect and the right of each of us to a reasonable living.

Fourth, concept of ownership will change from possession to stewardship. With enlightenment, we will realize that possession is an illusion that arises from attachment to a false sense of security and permanence. Everything that is ours, including our minds and bodies is on loan to us to facilitate the growth of our soul. We are not actually owners, but stewards, of what we think is ours. When we die, all we can take is profound satisfaction for the work we have done to improve the world during our lifetime. We cannot take material things with us, despite efforts of various rulers in the history of the human society!

Fifth, our concept of profit will change from that of personal gain to that public benefit. With enlightened awareness, we will not seek personal profit at the expense of the greater public good. We will realize personal benefit within the context of the public good. It will essentially be a “both…and” relationship instead of an “either…or” relationship, as it often is today.
