While the publishers of Apologetics Index operate from an orthodox, evangelical Christian point of view, the intent of this site is to provide research resources from a variety of perspectives.
Therefore, unlike many other websites that deal with the issues we address, many topics on this site include links to Christian, non-Christian and secular research resources, presented from neutral, pro, and contra viewpoints.
Note: A simple color-coding system is used to help you identify the general background of sites, articles and other listings.

Dahn Hak: Korean Spiritual Movement Claims to Have “Ki” to Global Enlightenment
Plain text An article from the News Watch column of the Christian Research Journal, volume 29, number 2 (2006).
Stepping Into the Dahn “I believed Seung Heun Lee was the key to enlightenment – until I started asking questions” by Colin McGregor
I was surprised that enlightenment was for sale at an exercise centre, where instructors persistently urged members to purchase higher-level courses, costly healing products and Lee’s books.The costs varied from around $1,500 for “New Human” training and $3,000 for a world lifetime membership to around $10,000 for healer school training and $20,000 for an ancestor liberation ceremony.
[...]Dahn is mostly about exercising, but Brain Respiration, the name of the program, while enhancing mental faculties, is also supposed to bestow paranormal abilities: seeing while blindfolded and bending spoons telekinetically.
Dahn makes itself available to most people, with a few exceptions: the homeless, Africans, people in small towns and skeptics. According to my teacher, they’re not ready for enlightenment.
Lee’s followers believe he holds great mystical wisdom, but they’re discouraged from asking questions. A Dahn teacher told me repeatedly that Eastern philosophy should not face critical probing. I began to find this formula for happiness hard to swallow. Can we really find enlightenment where questions are not permitted?
