An age has come in which machines replace the body and artificial intelligence replaces thought. Yet the last place humanity must recover is ─ breath.
Where to BuyThe root principle of civilizational change. Revealing the philosophy of breath.
“Do you know how to breathe?” For practitioners who find this simple question surprisingly hard to answer, this book sets out the direction of practice and the principles and use of the Human Code, so they can be applied in modern life. Moving past an era veiled in vague mystery, it now openly presents the principles and application of breath regulation and its transformation into qi (氣化), for the bright practitioners who will welcome the new age of SOOM Civilization.
Where to BuyThe Age of Breath: Deeper Study of the Principles and Their Modern Horizons
A deep study that views, through the lens of modern science, the mathematical blueprint of the universe handed down in the East. It reveals the principles and practice of aligning posture, mind and breath so that one generates one’s own vitality. Through an expansion of the principles via the 360 characters of the Human Code of the Hwanggeuk world and a fundamental insight into existence, it presents for the first time in-depth study material to help practitioners awaken to the full principles of the Human Code.
Breath. Breathing Again – What Is Your Vitality Score Right Now?
An ecosystem of life assets (SES·SEU) that quantifies the invisible energy of life and turns it into an asset. Breathing correctly is the fundamental principle and method for raising our life energy. Measuring vitality through the principles of breath means bringing a metaphysical way, long unseen, into the physical world. Through physical indicators anyone can see and verify, it conveys the reality of vitality for all.
A shift in humanity’s OS. A vitality-centered nation — governance realized through five powers (權): constitution, legislation, judiciary, administration and data rights
Grounded in Embodied Humanism (人體主義), which takes the human body as the measure of life, and in the philosophy that the individual and the whole are originally one (個全一如), it proposes a society of vitality that goes beyond the individual and the nation. The intangible seeds sown by the teacher are now unfolded across the world as tangible systems.
The root of the 9,800-year lineage of the Way, the door to the next civilization
A mirror of ancient thought that illuminates the turn of civilization. The wisdom of an ancient future, pointing to where the roots of Ilhwa Tongil (一和統一), toward which SOOM Civilization moves, lie.
To a humanity that has lost its way at the threshold of the AI age, it offers civilization’s most honest mirror.
It reflects, through ancient wisdom, the prototype of the coming vitality-centered nation and a society of resonance.
Gently setting down in the world this small seed held for sixty years, it is handed to the next generation of students — as a question, not an answer; as a mirror, not a doctrine.
Wollaebang left a question, and The Age of Breath was a journey toward one answer to that question.
Where that journey returns to its first question and comes full circle — this is the door through which the series closes itself and, at the same time, opens toward the next civilization.
