Konohana Family Newsletter Vol.93 – What is Death?

“The 21st Century View of Life and Death” Part 1

This is about “the 21st century View of Life and Death.” However, people experience life and death even if it is not in the 21st century. Our life does not end when we are born, live and die. We repeat being born, living and dying over an eternal period of time.
However, many modern people fear death. According to a survey, more than a half of Japanese people “fear” death. Also, another survey confirmed that more than 90% of respondents in their 20’s-70’s consider death as “sadness,” and more than 60% feel anxious about it somehow.
No matter how much we fear and feel sad about death, it surely comes to us because tomorrow comes. When we think, “I do not want to die” and live today, death surely gets closer to us every day in which we live.

Time is life

No matter how much we try to stop the flow of time, it is impossible because time is life. Time never stops and continues to change, transfigures and circulates, so it is the base of the universe. We are a part of the life of the times, and continue to travel on the vehicle of time in the universe.

We cannot encounter an existence which does not get on this vehicle of time in this world. Everything has a unique cycle, each cycle marked by time, which are interlocked with each other and compose a great chain of life.

When one cycle in that great life marks an end, we call it “death.” Every living being surely will face death. However, instead people fear death, avoid it, consider death vaguely, and live blindly. When death is ambiguous, the meaning of life is also unclear. All issues which we encounter are generated from the fact that we are alive. While we make the meaning of life vague, we continue to hold the same problems.

Why are humans born, and why do they live and die?
The view of life and death is a fundamental theme of humanity. Each one of us lives according to a cycle and reason for our existence. Only when we understand the great system of life, will we be able to live a truly fulfilling one, and depart beyond death with joy.

 

“The 21st Century View of Life and Death” is delivered in a series.
The system of life in this world will be unlocked in Part 1!

The Body Continues to Change through Circulation, however the Soul Ties it together.

Everything exists based on yin and yang in the universe. If our body is considered as visible yang, invisible yin exists behind it, which is the soul.

As we say “yin and yang,” yin exists first in the original system of this world, and then yang is generated based on it. For our life, the soul exists first, and attracts various substances in the universe by connection. This is how our body is formed. The state in which the soul and body become a pair is when we are considered “alive.” The soul’s original connection weaves everything from the shape, personality, to what kind of family we have, and where we are born. The connection between each soul and body has an original cycle, which is longevity.

When the lifetime ends, the soul leaves the body. Then, components of the body which are tied by the soul are released from the connection, and begin their journey to return to the three-dimensional ecosystem. They become ingredients for the formation of future life. On the other hand, the soul returns to anther dimensional universe which is appropriate for each soul.

The different dimensional universe which is appropriate for each soul exists widely from hellish to high-dimensional universes with multi-dimensional structures. With so many probabilities of dimensional universes, it is the world of living beings on earth where varying degrees of souls gather into existence as one time and space. That is, living on earth is like a tour of experiences in an ecosystem where we can encounter diverse existences all at the same time. Souls live a life which are appropriate to the cycle of each level of awareness, face a death which is appropriate to the life, return to the universe, after which they come back to earth with another appropriate connection, and mark a new cycle.

Relay of Life

Nothing increases or decreases in the universe. The universe just changes the form and circulates. Therefore, it is the universal reality that everything continues to change and transform. In such a great universal circulation, our body also changes and circulates in the ecosystem.

The five elements which compose the global ecosystem are earth, water, fire, wind and air. Humans circulate with the five elements and live. We eat crops which are nurtured by the earth and drink water. Our excrement becomes the source to nurture the next life, which takes in the sunlight, transforms it into energy, emits it, receives wind, and breathes in and out. Carbon dioxide which was emitted becomes food for plants to grow. It is a relay of life in which life always flows from others to ourselves, takes in necessary things, changes form and become taken over by others again. The flow is not one, but many patterns overlap and link with each other. We are always given a fresh life from various existences in the circulation of the natural ecosystem, we are supported, and also create a part of it. On the contrary, unless we are in this circulation, our life cannot exist. It is the “altruistic” system in which our existences support others to maintain this circulation.

It is the soul which ties the various functions of the body that incessantly continue to change and transform, and maintain as one life form. Humans have considered this life form, which has never been in the same state even for a moment, as the “self.” Furthermore, they began to become trapped in the recognition of the self. This is the ego.

Modern People who are Trapped in the Ego and have Forgotten the Great System of this World

There is a significant difference between humans and animals; humans can become aware of the ego. Animals also have an ego, but it is instinctive and not what they are trapped in. However, the human ego stands at the side of themselves, which they become attached to.

The universe in which we live always continues to change and transform, which is its reality. But, humans, who have developed an ego, came to fix themselves and maintain their same state, rather than change according to the universal law. When a human (人) enters a frame (□), it becomes the Chinese character for “constraint (囚).” In this manner, people have confined themselves in the frame of the ego. Moreover, they have forgotten that this world is a chain of life in which everything supports each other, and they are a part of it.

This world is a network of life in which independent individuals are connected by an altruistic system. Every single human soul has an original individuality. When they are connected with each other and become one collectivity, they create an abundant world full of diversity. However, when we look at each individuality, it is also “one-sided.”

When a one-sided person has forgotten to collaborate with others and lives for self-satisfaction, the world will develop problems which are appropriate to its imbalance, and it will reach a dead end. This world makes humans experience their own imbalance through a deadlock, and learn the importance of connecting with each other. However, the more humans put their consciousness toward “themselves,” the stronger the human ego becomes, for which they have lost sight of this system. They are trapped in only visible values, have forgotten that the whole is the collectivity of individuals, and have sought their own happiness. As a result, individualities, which are supposed to complement each other and enrich the world due to diversity, came to make conflicts due to this diversity and generate disharmony in the world. Then, they have brought various issues both to the world and humans.

The Eternal Self Exists Deep Inside of You

We show our will by crying as soon as we are born, and seek eating and sleeping. It is an instinctive action to survive, but it is not our life purpose.

This world is a so-called fabric of life. Numerous lives weave the circulation of life under the five natural elements of earth, water, fire, wind and air, which are expressions of the expansion of the natural ecosystem (the phenomenal world). On the other hand, there is the circulation for the home of souls (the potential world), which is the source of all lives. The original energy as the source of life which comes from there always continues to give a fresh life force to us.

 

Yin exists first in this world, and yang is generated based on it. Yin is the thread in the fabric of life, and yang is the cloth. However, modern people are trapped in only visible matters, and have forgotten the existence of this thread. The world has lost sight of the thread and has become confused to the origination of the visible world. As a spinning top which loses its axis, the world has continued to be in a wavering and unstable state. However, no matter how much we do not recognize that existence, we are constantly given life in the circulation of the thread and cloth. Our true purpose of being born in this world is to gain the body, live in the phenomenal world, and polish our souls which are behind the visible body through phenomena. This plays the role of being the fundamental axis of how we live.

Unless we incessantly breathe, eat and excrete, we cannot survive. We can say that living is a state in which we are bound by the body, and also bound by water, soil and air. However, originally, souls are infinite existences.

The eternal self exists behind the figure which you think is “yourself.” When we remove the constraint of the self, the unknown world which we have never encountered will expand. Infinite possibilities are hidden within humans.

A long time ago, there was only light in this world. If we are in only light, we cannot see it. God, who was the perfect light itself, was bored. “I cannot know myself because I am perfect.”

Then, God divided its perfect body. God created darkness to understand what light is, and threw it to the farthest point from himself. God created a very long path to return to the original light.

Admission into a School of the Earth

Each one of numerous souls which floats in the universe is very unique. Because it was divided from the perfect oneness, every single soul is imperfect, one-sided, and has an original individuality. However, the souls cannot see their own figures as they are. “How can I understand myself?” Then, the planet Earth was created by the universal consensus. The souls came down on earth together, gained perfect forms and personalities which were appropriate to their individualities, and began a tour of experiencing the global ecosystem.

Many things occur on earth every day. The souls, which have gained a body had various experiences throughout life, and came to know who they were through these experiences. What kind of vibrancy we emit changes the events we encounter. “I see. I am such an existence.”

The flow of time is majestic, and changes are very slow in the universe. However, phenomena occur one after another in the system of repeating changes, transformation and transfiguration here on earth. In such a situation, the paths of souls are diverse. Some learn from the events they encounter one after another, and evolve rapidly. Some are trapped by visible matters, forget the purpose of coming to earth, and repeat the same thing many times. It is like they entered the school of the earth.

When the expiration date for learning finally comes, souls face graduation in the form of “death.” They return to a different dimensional universe which is appropriate to their level of awareness.

Earth is the only place where souls can know who they are and evolve. After they end their learning, they return to the universe with a report card from the earth school. Then, they come to the earth again to learn, thinking “Alright, I will learn more this time!” after a while.

In order to Make the Whole Universe Beautiful

Stars in the universe are interestingly watching the process for the evolution of souls on earth. When the souls, which have gained a body through coming to earth, enhance themselves and become aware of the truth, stars react to it, and the center of the galaxy billows and becomes astir. Even if it is only one soul, if it is excellent, it has such an influence on the universe.

Currently, the souls, which came down on earth as humans, live with a very narrow worldview. They are trapped in the ego and have lost sight of their life purpose. It seems as if they are distracting themselves out of their fear of death, while trying hard to gratify their own desires. As a result, problems have overflowed in the world.

However, the era surely moves toward the direction of light. Since God put darkness in the farthest point from himself, we have experienced what darkness is, have repeated life and death so many times, and have taken a path to return to the original world of light.

Now that the era has faced the 21st century, we have entered a new cycle from the year 2000 to the year 3000. This means that humans living on earth have faced the era when they become aware of the true meaning of life. It is different from the conventional era when one sacred person appeared and preached teachings, and people who sought help swarmed to get them. When each one of us awakens to what is sleeping inside of ourselves, we will become precious and live. Such an era has finally arrived.

We have faced the era when we evolve from the existence of one who is trapped with the ego and brings confusion to the world, to one who expresses the true value of humans on earth and brings the right order to this world for all living beings. When each one of the souls becomes beautiful, the earth and the universe will become beautiful.

In order to do so, we should remove the constraint of the “ourselves.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The structure of this world which consists of “the world of existence” and “the world of non-existence” will be unlocked in Part 2 of the View of Life and Death.

The One-Month Truth School is the program to stay at the Konohana Family for a month, and learn about the 21st century worldview from various aspects.

Konohana Family Newsletter Vol.92

Now that it has been 13.8 billion years since the universal creation of the Big Bang, and 4.6 billion years from the creation of the earth, we are experiencing severe changes.
This is occurring through many overlapping turning points, which is a relationship woven by the stars!

Out of all, the most significant turning point is “the winter solstice of the galaxy” which we had on December 21st, 2012. Just like the Earth’s winter solstice, the amount of light begins to increase. The solar system has passed the winter solstice after 25,800 years and a great transitional stage has begun, turning from an era of darkness into light.

Having the winter solstice of the galaxy means that the sun has faced the peak of darkness with the least amount of light in one solar spiral. It has been five years from the winter solstice of the galaxy. Therefore, we have entered an era when the light has started to shine from the peak of darkness. This darkness indicates the spiritual darkness. People cannot see the truth in the darkness, so things that they thought were right, and took action on, have brought about confusion to society. The conventional era was the one in which people insisted upon themselves and made conflicts in order to seek their own happiness. As a result, abundance was gained by only some people, which created a gap between the rich and the poor, and has spread poverty and conflict all around the world. Because people had no other standard of truth, their only choice was to continue to live in this way even though this has led to suffering.

A 248 year cycle of Pluto and the flow of the era

-The end of Western civilization, which began during the Industrial Revolution-

Symbolizing the era of darkness, Pluto reached the height of its cycle in 2008. In 2008, Pluto made a circuit of 248 years which led to the end of the Western material civilization that has continued for 250 years from the Industrial Revolution. People have developed Western science, physics and technology during the Industrial Revolution. On one hand, people have achieved economic growth, on the other, the world population has increased explosively, ignoring the global environment. As a result, this has brought various issues on earth. In a sense, the values based on Western civilization have reached their peak. As a phrase, “Every tide has its ebb” describes, after the universe reaches its peak, it always declines.

Humans who cannot receive the next vision

Now that we have faced the peak of darkness on December 21st, 2012, the darkness of the social structure becomes obvious as the light gradually shines in. Also, it seems that the state of human society goes from bad to worse as the status of the earth gets worse. Intellects in the world have figured out the great shift in the era, but nobody has a guideline of how to live for the next era. In fact, world leaders operate based on their national ego, and nobody has wisdom to guide the world to harmony beyond borders.

If we place the history of the earth into one year, 250 years from the Industrial Revolution occurred at 11:59:58 pm on December 31st. All humans are bound by only two-seconds of mind control, which is the value of the Western material civilization, and nobody seems to have yet transcended that idea.

We cannot become happy under the 20th century type of values anymore.

At the beginning of the 21st century, how will we humans perceive this historical chaos? 


When You Know the System of World Affairs, It Is Interesting!

-The Era of Chaos Which Cannot Be Measured
by Conventional Knowledge-

Humans have sought happiness as an extension of gratifying their own desires, and developed society under such a value. And now, a dead end has reached its peak in every aspect, and the next generation has to pay the price.

Environment
Arctic sea ice will disappear in 2050!?

Now that global warming has advanced at an accelerated rate and Arctic sea ice has shrunk rapidly, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts that there will be nearly ice-free summers in the Arctic. There is no one perfect way to predict summer sea ice loss in the Arctic, so NOAA looked at three approaches that result in widely different dates. But, all three suggest nearly sea ice-free summers in the Arctic before the middle of this century.

The current society has been based on a full commitment to economy. On one hand, some people feel happy and sad about the stock price movement every day. On the other hand, when the stock price rises, the economic activities become active, which gives more burden to the earth and advances global warming. Do you know of such a structure?

Agriculture》《Food
Agriculture and livestock industry, which is supposed to provide food as the source of our life, is currently the worst cause of environmental pollution.

At a modern agricultural site, a large amount of chemical substances, such as chemical fertilizers and herbicides, have been used in order to produce the mass yield of crops. As a result, soil, underground water and rivers have been polluted. Food which is produced with an intention of human greed, such as “I want to harvest more!”, “I want to earn more money!” is taken into the body of people who live with the desires of “I want to eat more delicious food!”, also with such a vibrancy of greed. In this manner, more unhealthy food is produced and consumed, more contradictions emerge as diseases in our body. There is a reality that the illness of humans, who are cells on the earth, makes the whole earth unhealthy.

SocietyA tide of wandering refugees have emerged!
  -The number of world refugees is 6.8 million, which is the biggest in history-  

As we trace human history, we can see that the western civilization and the eastern civilization switch with every 1600-year cycle, and in the year 2000, the cycle changed. Interestingly, when the cycle switched over, the world convulsion and migration was surely underway. Now that we have faced the turning point of the year 2000, 5,500,000 Syrian refugees have migrated to Europe. Furthermore, currently we are facing a dead-end of assisting refugees in Africa, and the number of world refugees has reached 68 million!

Now, more refugees than ever in human history exist on earth. This has occurred because we have faced an unprecedented apex at which various turning points have overlapped, such as the 100 million- year cycle of global mass extinction, the 25800-year cycle of one spiral of the Sun, the 1600-year cycle of civilizations, and the 248-year cycle of Pluto’s orbital motion. When we trace the history of the earth, we have never had such a period at which so many turning points arrived around the same time.

We can say that this great turning point indicates the result of an ever expanded human greed and devotion for wealth as an extension of desire. The independence movement that is happening all over the world has resulted from the distortion created by each nation. All issues such as the Catalan independence in Spain, the Northern Ireland issue in the U.K., the Kurd issue in Syria, express a tendency of deep attachment to race. Therefore, it can be said that this great turning point is a phenomena that will lead the whole of humanity to unite once again.

Economy
The Chinese tactic of enacting “the 21st century silk road” is just an extension of 20th century economic growth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

China is still a communist country, but its capitalistic economy promotes rapid growth, which casts a gloomy shadow over China as a great contradiction. China is trying to find the possibilities of developing the next economic growth under the slogan “”, which is a vast economic zone design to link Europe to China by building the “Silk Road in the 21st century.” In other words, China is going to accomplish further economic development by two trade routes — “Silk Road Economy Belt (One Belt)” that connects Central Asia to Europe, and “the Ocean Silk Road in the 21st century (One Road)” that leads from the South China Sea through the Indian Ocean to Europe.

Through China’s intention, we can see why China has been called “the factory of the world” and is going to be “the economic center of the world” from now on, as well as an information source of the world. The symbol of this project is the coast-to-coast railroad which ties Europe to China that has been organized under the leadership of the Chinese government. Now that unprecedented environmental destruction is occurring, originally undeveloped lands are becoming industrialized. Surely, this is bringing about great contradictions as the natural environment is transformed into cities. This is bringing about a cancerous state on the earth.

If the “One Belt, One Road” becomes successful, it is predicted to create a huge economic area, which will involve more than 60% of the world’s population and 30% of the total GDP. If people continue this 20th century-type economic expansion based on human greed regardless of the era, this “Silk Road design in the 21st century” will not only bring about further distortion to China, but also the entire world.

Politics
American President Donald Trump was born as a product of the era, which indicates that the era requires a new value.

It has been about 250 years since the foundation of the United States and about 130 years since the construction of skyscrapers in New York City, which is insignificant in the 4.6 billion-year history of the earth. However, from the universal point of view, we can say that beautifully developed Manhattan has developed a state of skin cancer and has lost its original natural beauty, which is considered as the focus of disease on earth.

Now that we have passed the great turning point of the “Winter Solstice of the Galaxy” on December 21st, 2012, and the light has begun to come in, the real intention of the United States has come to the surface. That is “America First”, which is also occurring in Great Britain. Originally the United States was the generous multinational leader; therefore, the United States had been considered as a great country. However, they were only seeking their own profit in the end. According to documents which have not been released in the past, we can see that the United States has flourished through manufacturing wars as a global strategy. Now, we can see that this country has flourished through exploitation of poor countries in Africa and Asia. Therefore, it is just an illusion to see the United States as a world representative.

Great Britain and the United States have led the world under a hegemony of greed through seeking their own abundance, and other countries in the world have followed. It can be said that President Trump was elected as proof of the end of such an era. For President Trump, who was needed by the era and subsequently inaugurated, he has an important role to cause great confusion and disturbance through existing nationalism. Originally, the United States was a generous multinational leader, however the time has come when they will let go of their own greed and contributed their accumulated wealth to the world. When modern people think about the world on a global level, and become aware of the original purpose of humanity, true peace will prevail on earth.

Education
The cause of the current chaos is nations and people who do not reflect on themselves, considering they have no problems

 

Currently, people with the most advanced intelligence in the world get a job in the financial industry. In modern society, people who have distorted values, such as “The one who has money controls the world”, intelligence is only used for calculating profits-and-losses, and that leads the front lines of the current world. At the base of such consciousness, people put their priority on earning money as if it were a game, like through operating a hospital or charging lawyer’s fees from lawsuits; rather than having the thought “Let’s make this world better.”

The existence of such people has brought about an unkind way of life in society and the earth as a result. Many of those people did not think about the whole, became convinced that they were superior, and aimed for their own happiness. Then, they ended up as cancerous cells for the earth. This kind of value has spread all over the earth, and the original function for intelligence has been abused. People with a superior memory are considered to be an excellent person in the current society.

However, the most important thing for us as a living being is the ability to co-exist to other life forces. Originally, human intelligence was for making this world healthy so all of the people could become abundant. In modern society, that intelligence is used to make individual profits. That is why such a present condition is an extremely abnormal state.


The Solution for Future Exists Here

Mystery of the human body
The truth is that organs communicate with each other

Did you know that “Neither the brain or heart is the command center of the human body”? As a matter of fact, every single organ and cell expresses a will and sends commands to each other. This is how the entire body exists. For example, the kidney plays the role of filtering blood, excreting waste products out of the body, and absorbing substances which are necessary for the body. When the kidney transcends the peak of its filtering function, it cannot deal with toxic substances any longer. Then, it begins to flow message substances through the blood in order to command the necessary organs. Interestingly, the brain is not involved in such a situation. Therefore, we came to understand that each and every organ exchanges information and directly communicates with each other to play a role in maintaining the health of our entire body.

The structure of the human body is exactly the same as the figure of the global ecosystem and the solar system

In the unboundedly vast universe, the earth does not exist alone. Only when the earth orbits the sun, there is the meaning of its existence. As the third planet in the solar system, it collaborates with other planets and expresses one life of the solar system. The sun orbits the galaxy and expresses one life in the Milky Way galaxy along with many other stars. Moreover, the Milky Way galaxy expresses one life in an even bigger group of galaxies.

A diversity of living beings exist on earth itself, and all lives work together to form one life as the global ecosystem. Every cell of the earth is made up of each human. As for the human body, 60 trillion cells gather and form one body. Therefore, the structure of the human body is exactly the same system as the figure of the global ecosystem and the universe itself.

The era has arrived when each one of us, who is a cell of the earth, becomes awakened

In the honeybee community in the natural world, worker bees, which have the shortest life span and a rapid metabolism, hold the key to the future of the entire community. In the same manner, in our body, each cell, which is the smallest unit of life, has a will. When each cell’s information is gathered as a whole, each organ becomes aware of its role and the entire human body is governed with health.

When we place this structure into the global life network, the way of thinking and living for each one of us holds the key to the future of the earth. Currently, we are facing a great turning point in which we will either create more chaos to the earth, or we will make it a healthy and harmonious world. We have developed advanced civilizations and technologies, so we live in this era abundantly in terms of materials. However, we have created a poor world with many conflicts and serious disparities due to human-centered ways of living and ignoring other lives. We can say that we humans are like cancer cells which destroy harmony in the body. Only when we become aware of that and transform from cancer cells into healthy cells, other lives will be happy with our existence. Now, the era has arrived when we humans express our intelligence on earth and in the whole universe.

As the planets in the solar system are aware of each role, communicate with each other, and take an infinite and eternal journey precisely along with the sun, each one of us should become aware of our own role and take actions in order to bring harmony and peace to the world. The era has come when we express such an original way of being as humans.

The reason why young people, who are supposed to create the next era, have lost their motivation to work and direction in life, is because conventional human values do not create a healthy world. So, once the direction is set, they will naturally have hope for the next era.

As the phrase, “whole body and soul” describes, when people living on earth become awakened and the network of awakening blooms on earth, we will express a world in which humans have not stepped into yet. Now that the door of the 21st century has opened, we humans have begun a great journey toward the 30th century.

 Only when humans become awakened,
Will the current chaos on earth naturally settle.
Just as the macrocosm expands infinitely, the infinite possibilities of the microcosm hidden in each one of us will become realized.

A Revolution of Consciousness Begins with Food

The earth which nurtures crops full of life energy
In the unboundedly vast universe, the earth where we live is a tiny existence like a piece of dust. The network of various lives, called “the ecosystem” exists on earth, which is full of blessings of the divine and earth. Food which is a blessing from the divine and earth are gifts for all living beings. It is a miracle in the universe.

Everything is made of vibrancy
Everything from life to substance are made of “vibrancy” in this world. “Vibrancy” is the source of life energy and the home for all lives. In fact, we take in “vibrancy” through food. The vibrancy of food affects not only the body, but also the mind. We weave our lives in such a chain of vibrancy which everything radiates. Do you know there are foods with vibrancy that destroy lives and the beautiful vibrancy to nurture them?

Let’s look at the current situation with food in the modern era
We eat food which is essential for our lives every day. “Food” is life. “Eating” is a relay of life where eating life and the eaten life become one. It is a joy to become linked and melt into each other and nurture a new life.

However, the current situation with food in the modern era is that many people continue to eat unhealthy food mass-produced for business, do not respect life and weaken their own life energy. The typical example is a slaughterhouse for cows, pigs and chickens. Meat is produced and processed like industrial products, not as “life.” When we eat meat, their vibrancy of fear and grudge through suffering and dying enters our body and pollutes our spirit. This is the most awful matter in terms of eating. Moreover, now that the vibrancy covers the whole earth, the earth has become a spiritually unhealthy planet.

When we change our diet, our consciousness will change
Then, the world will change

Originally, “eating” is sensing the life energy of food (vibrancy) and receiving only what the body needs in order to connect with the lives of this world. An ability to sense what is necessary and unnecessary for itself is equipped in life as life intuition.
A long time ago, humans had a life intuition and lived by avoiding danger in the great nature and food which threatened life. They caught the voice of food, saying “Please eat me. Thank you,” appreciated blessings from nature, and connected their lives to the next generation. However, people have forgotten to communicate with nature along with the flow of the era, have been controlled by desires, and have a blunted life intuition. If life is vibrancy and our life intuition functions orderly, even if the amount of agricultural chemical left in the field is under the standard, we would sense the distorted vibrancy in the food used with agricultural chemical, and would not choose it. However, the modern people are used to unhealthy food which is full of additives. As a result, their senses are so dull and out of order that they even feel that such food tastes delicious.
Now that the current world is full of materials and information, and the era has reached the peak of confusion, in order to revive the original human ability, it is essential for us to purify our mind. If our mind becomes pure, our intuition will become sharp, and the nature of things will come into sight without us thinking. When we become aware of the connection of lives and the original vibrancy, and begin to live with it, a symphony of various lives resound on earth.

What kind of action should we take in order to bring a healthy world on this miraculous planet?


Recommendation for a peaceful and abundant “Brown Rice & Grain Vegetarian Meal”

Abundance to share the food with everyone
Joy to experience genuine food

The earth provides appropriate food to all living beings on earth so that every existence can live healthy. There are various kinds of grains in the world, but rice’s yield per field is the highest out of all grains. Also, when we eat it as brown rice, it is the most balanced food out of all grains. Healthy grains and vegetables, which are nurtured with five natural elements (earth, water, fire, wind and air) and the harmonious spirit, are full of life energy and rich in medical properties. As medicine to cure diseases and food have the same source, food is medicine. There is a world where the more crops people grow, the better the environment becomes, and the more food we eat, the healthier we become.
There are seven important reasons why we should practice a vegetarian diet which does not include meat or fish.

Our Body and Mind, Eels and the Earth are All Happy!
Please Enjoy the Eel-like “Mt. Fuji Himatsubushi”!

ひまどん(修正)

Our café & shop “Lotus Land” had the grand opening on May 5th. Its concept is “peaceful food which are gentle, not only to our body and mind, but also plants and animals in nature and the earth.” Those who have preferred to eat meat before visited and became surprised, saying “What a delicious meal only with vegetables!” People who do not know that this place offers only vegetarian meals happened to come here and became impressed, saying “This deep-fried food is really good! This chicken-like staff is made of devil’s tongue, so it is healthy, too!”
Lotus Land’s specialty is “Mt. Fuji Mimatsubushi”! We took inspiration from the “Hitsumabushi” which is the famous eel dish in Nagoya. “Hitsumabushi” is a Japanese cuisine with grilled eel on rice. Then, “Mt. Fuji Himatsubushi” is a special vegetarian dish which is made of tofu, Japanese yam, devil’s tongue, and burdock as a replacement of Japanese eel which is currently listed as an endangered species. The name of “Hima (meaning a spare time in Japanese) tsubushi” was generated through our thoughts to invite people from the busy world to spend their spare time here.

Let’s protect Japanese eel as an endangered species!
Do you know that the extinction in the modern era is much more rapid and massive than the mass extinction in the past? More than 100 species continue to become extinct every day due to the destruction of the ecosystem. Currently, it is said that about 24,000 species on earth are on the verge of extinction. Moreover, the current extinction is tens of thousands faster than that of the past one. Such a crisis has been progressing around our daily life. Japanese eel is just one example. Due to overfishing and deterioration of the habitant, it is considered to have a high possibility that it will become extinct in the wild in the near future.

To make this world “Lotus Land”
Why are lotus flowers which bloom from mud so beautiful and impressive? It seems like the lotus flowers are telling us that if each one of us goes through muddy and chaotic experiences and learns from them, the true beauty we originally have will bloom. “Lotus Land” also indicates utopia where colorful flowers bloom.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we humans have established society as an outstanding existence out of all living beings on earth. However, the existence has sacrificed many lives and the environment. Therefore, it is casting a dark shadow on the future of humanity. The chaotic mud seems to represent the exact figure of modern human society.

The earth is a miraculous planet in a vast universe. Being a life on earth, being a human who has the highest ability out of all lives, and being yourself is the miracle of all miracles. When humans who are given precious individualities become aware of their originality, the human potential will expand infinitely. The network of awakened humans will expand as the leader of all living beings on earth. A world of diverse lives with unique individualities will resonate with each other in harmony as an expression of the beautiful vibrancy on earth. In fact, infinite possibilities are hidden in that chaotic mud at the same time.

This awakening begins with food which we receive as the source of our life every day. Hope you will spread the vibrancy of harmony and peace all over the world.

Circles Weave Connections   ~ From Humans To HITO

 

  ― The World Always Gives Us the Next A’ ―

Isadon:

It was about 30 years ago. I owned an interior coordinating company at that time. I was driving a car on the freeway to go from Komaki-city where I lived to Toyota-city where I worked. When I was driving the car, the white dashed lines which divided the lanes of the road flowed backwards. It looked like the flow of time.

Going from Komaki to Toyota means that Komaki becomes the past and Toyota becomes the future. The white dashed lines flowed continuously. Toyota came closer to me with each moment and Komaki became further away. After I finished my work and returned home, the direction became the opposite. This time, Komaki became the future and Toyota became the past. The dashed lines flowed from Komaki to Toyota. Komaki came closer to me gradually and Toyota became further away.

I wondered, “What is this world?” At that time, I was heading to Komaki from Toyota. Then, I realized that I had boarded time, instead of moving from one place to another. Each dashed line became a frame of time, which came closer to me from the future to the present, and became farther away into the past. Horizontal scenes flowed backward, and it seemed to be the flow of events.

The American President at that time was President Reagan. I thought people who live in faraway countries, even President Reagan boarded upon this thin stretch of time, feeling the white dashed lines, which continuously flowed backward as the flow of time. Everything which exists as a phenomenon boards upon this time, which is very thin. If something or someone gets off this vehicle of time even for a moment, we cannot see it anymore. Death is something like that.

Perhaps, if we deviate from this thin sliver of time, we might disappear instead of dying. And if we can come back to this again, what disappeared will reemerge suddenly.

We recognize the past because it has reached the present after a time that went through such infinitesimal moments, like the advancing frames of a cartoon. So, the past exists even now. Then, the future exists also now. Since we go through this row of narrow moments with the advancing contexts of time, it seems like it moves and phenomena occur. As a sequence of frames becomes a cartoon, all moments exist in the universe now, and continue endlessly. I wonder if we exist by going through each moment.

I circulated such thoughts and saw the white dashed lines of the freeway flow backward. Everything and everyone including President Reagan boarded upon this. We are time people, so we always exist with time. This world flows.

 

The Fleeting World

Humans seem to understand that time never stops and moves in this manner, but actually they do not. It moves really quickly. In terms of individuals, this means that death is coming. In a bigger picture, time proceeds and the era moves. In its mechanism (I do not know if I should call it a mechanism), planetary movement creates the motion of time. Invisible planetary gears match with each other, and move the invisibility of time from past to future in a one-way direction.

Surprisingly, the mega system of time and space returns to its origin again. However, it is not the same because it moves from point A to point A’. What sustains such a thing? We cannot understand it by thinking. It exists because it exists.

For example, human bodies have the same structure. As we move from the point A of today to the point A’ of tomorrow, a row of days consumes our lifetime with time. When a cell dies, decays and leaves the body, a new cell with the same role is born in that place and plays a role in maintaining the whole of the body. However, it is not the original A, but A’ which has evolved through one cycle. The aging of the whole body proceeds by such continuation, and lifetime is exhausted.

Then, errors occur once in a while. These become the causes of sickness such as cancer. The reason why errors occur is that humans do not live in accordance with the law of the world; however even such human nature is the law.

Our experiences from the past are incorporated in our DNA as information. There is various information to show people’s nature such as causes of sickness. If we become aware of this and remove them, then we will not become sick anymore. When we make a sequence of DNA healthy without worrying about sickness, it would be possible to create healthy humans as models based on a perfect design.

However, humans have a unique personality. As each person is original and unique, each is created as a slight deviation from the original design. It is an expression of ego, a habit, nature and individuality. The purpose of this world is that every existence is original, instead of creating the same thing like ready-made goods. It is a characteristic of a life. Nothing is the same. Humans have ego, so they can deviate from the law. However, such a human nature is within the law.

Although we encounter a life which we do not expect, we do not have to worry about it. What we should do is just accept the impermanence of this world. It is “Itadakimasu (meaning to receive in Japanese).”

“Itadakimasu” is that “Itadaki (meaning a summit in Japanese) masu (meaning to increase in Japanese).” When we continue to climb a mountain, we can see how high it is. That is, a life is a never-ending path. An attitude of “Itadakimasu (I receive what comes) enhances our spirituality endlessly.

The world changes. If we hope today will be the same as yesterday, try to hold onto our current wealth, or cry over losing something, a mind of resistance will emerge. From there, worries and pains are generated.

A long time ago, Buddha preached the four inevitabilities of human life (birth, aging, sickness and death) are human fate, so receiving a life as a human means encountering struggle. The four inevitabilities are a symbol of the impermanence of this world and are life itself. If we resist it, pain will emerge. Therefore, when we just receive what comes with the spirit of “Itadakimasu”, struggle will disappear automatically.

Tomoko:

It is interesting. For example, an event occurred at a point in the past, and a negative emotion occurred. I allowed it to linger even after that, and became discouraged. But, if each moment continues and exists in the universe, and we move from moment to moment and continue to live, an emotion which emerged due to an event of the past does not last by itself. It is us that chooses to hold onto such negativity. We continue to hold it while the world moves seamlessly, so in a sense, it is intentional.

Isadon:

Events themselves do not express any emotion. We just react to them emotionally. Habits and natures inside of us withdraw such emotions. If we become aware of this, any worries and pains will disappear right away.

Feel the World

Everything moves. When we see them move in a straight line, we cannot capture the nature of motion. Unless we understand nature, we only perceive things simply. If we see things flow just from left to right in a straight line, we spend each moment unconscious and we cannot perceive the whole picture.

When time passes, “the present” goes by. The present is marked by each moment, and the world moves. Even at this moment, time continues.

When I wake up every morning, I think, “Oh, morning has come again.” I feel time continues to flow eternally in my daily life as dashed lines on roads flow backward. A new time comes every moment. Morning comes and night comes. Morning comes again and so does night. This is repeated endlessly. Not only time flows, but also there are always meetings with new events. Time never stops, each tick is a new moment, and continues to provide us encounters with new events. It is an enormous energy. This energy moves the world. However, most people are not aware of it and unconsciously soak into the motion brought about by time.

Why does this exist? For those who begin to think like this, the world seems very new and mysterious. However, for people who are not aware of it or have no interest in it, they might say, “What are you talking about?” It might be impossible to express it with words. It is not to be expressed with words, but to be sensed.

We board on time and move. The world moves this way, which is called the era. Time and the era, which move the world where we exist, is a life itself.

Most people are not aware of it. Even if we are aware of it, we cannot resist it. We cannot see it with our eyes. However, it does exist surely. It moves the world with an enormous energy and weaves a history. What is it?

 

It is like a Galaxy

Time surely ticks in a one-way direction. If you see it moving from yesterday to today to tomorrow in a straight line, the range of your thinking must be narrow. If we see it in a simple way, it looks like it moves from left to right. However, when things move, there is surely a point which becomes a center. Only when things with connections gather around it and begin to rotate, the motion continues. It is not a line but a rotational motion.

It is weaved by “connections.” “A revolving motion” is “a connecting motion.” Connections are promises. There is an invisible thread of connections, which connect separate things as promised. Then, the whole rotates and encompasses its surroundings. It is like a galaxy.

6-6p

The point in the center of the circle looks still. However, it rotates around something with a bigger role. If the center becomes still, the outer rotational motion does not occur. Everything works together, so individual circles can exist.

If scientific people listen to it, they might ask, “What kind of system is it?” It is their role to unlock and prove it.

An Indian saint called a particle “a universal electron.” Indian thoughts had no concept of particles, but he understood the existence. Then, can we explain particles physically? It is not to be explained physically, but it is just a fact that this world consists of such matters. It is the same as KA, a universally infinitesimal particle which is much finer than particles. The existence is not to be explained physically, but to be sensed. It is the truth. Humans have an ability to sense it.

When Einstein imagined the theory of relativity, there was no physical evidence at that time. It was later acknowledged. Now, people praise it as a great discovery, however if it was expressed before its time, would it be accepted in the same way? Although it is not seen physically, what people feel is the truth.

The World is a Life Itself

Tomoko:

Humans tend to interpret what they cannot unlock with physical logic. If so, the topic would be like “Why were lives born?”

Isadon:

The reason why lives were born is that the world exists. This world is a life itself, and three dimensional lives were born to prove that. These connections become the source of emergence for the three dimensional lives. Relationships unite the order of this world.

This world moves with an order. Lives are generated due to this. Order exists because there is a will to tie it together. Its ultimatum is God. The reason why lives were born is that there is order. Three dimensional lives were created in order to make humans realize that the world is a life.

However, for those who cannot see order here, God does not exist and lives are not generated. Although people see order, the existence of God and the origin of lives change freely, depending on which level they see order. Even if it is the same life, what humans see changes, depending on where their consciousness is. The world is free like this, and seeds of lives exist everywhere. Its answer always waits for us, even in the future where science explores.

This world exists by a rotational motion. It moves as promised under the law. In order to do so, an axis is necessary. There is an axis in the center of everything, which rotates around a bigger axis. Since there is the earth’s axis, the earth rotates with precession, vibrates, and revolves around the solar axis. The sun also rotates and revolves around the central sun (the center of the galaxy). In the same way, the galaxy revolves around something bigger. Nothing exists alone. Everything links infinitely, and makes each other exist in such a relationship. That is, the world is one.

“Connections (En in Japanese)” are “Circles (En in Japanese)”

Why can such a complicated motion continue to exist? When opposite qualities face each other, a new thing emerges. This system is called “Taiko-Hassei” and everything is under “Taiko-Hassei” to make each other exist. Connections are created under promises and are weaved by a rotational motion.

When we look at only one circle, the center looks still. For example, the sun looks still from the viewpoint of the solar calendar. However, in a bigger picture, we can see that even the sun rotates by a bigger connection, spirals and continues to revolve around a bigger matter. The spiral is the same structure as the DNA of our lives.

wc1695790

The macro world, such as the solar system and the universe, and the micro world, such as DNA, exist under the same structure. Events and relationships which humans encounter in life are under the same structure. Very interesting!

Those who will live in the next era should be aware of harmonizing with the great will (the flow of the era) by understanding such a universal system, instead of living with personal desires and ambitions.

Confusion Has a Meaning and it is Temporary

Various events have occurred in the world in 2016, and the world has been very chaotic. No matter what measure is taken, we cannot find a resolution. A chaotic situation like mud has continued, but world leaders have still continued to take similar measures as they think they can solve issues with a superficial strategy. The time will come when they will realize it is meaningless sooner or later.

If we expand our viewpoint, we can see the current confusion has a meaning and is temporary. If our lifetime is 80 years, it is just one third from the 248 years of one Pluto’s revolutions. If we compare the 4.6 billion-year history of earth to one year, our 80-year lifetime is just 0.7 seconds, which is less than 1 second.

As the white dashed lines of the freeway flow backward, time never stops and ticks surely. Infinite life and death are repeated through it, as a giant and complicated mechanism is very simple. This means that if we change our viewpoints, we can understand it very easily.

Can You Have This Viewpoint?

Expanding my mind in this way, I am coming back to a physical viewpoint. Now, the Konohana Family is preparing to open a satellite shop called “Lotus Land,” but it is just an event for a moment from this majestic flow of time. As long as we live on earth, it is important for us to stay with a cycle of brevity and become aware of the fact that our lives are woven through this. If we do not harmonize with it, then we will return our life and take a broader perspective.

In order to perceive broadly in this life, we need to enhance our consciousness. When we enter a bigger cycle of life, we can look down at things. If we are trapped in what we see, we cannot see it completely. When our consciousness goes beyond it and we look at the world, we can stand on the side of what is operating this world. The lesson is to reach such a stage.

Tomoko:

It is the same system for looking at the world and operating it, through seeing my mind and controlling myself.

Isadon:

It is just the same. Our train of thoughts and even planetary motion are under the same structure. It is just where we apply this system. Do we apply it to the big universe, the global ecosystem or an individual life?

Time Travelers

Isadon:

There is surely a central axis in a rotational motion. The central axis is the time line. The phenomenal world exists due to “Taiko-Hassei” of “time” and “space.” A vertical time line emerged, and the horizontal function of the space line was generated. Then, phenomena occur and its sequence weaves the era.

When we cut away a portion, it looks like a cross. It is the “+ (TO)” letter of the Katakamuna (an ancient civilization which existed in East Asia about 13000 years ago), meaning integration. However, it looks like a cross because it is expressed on a plane surface. In fact, the place line rotates and follows the time line which continues to proceed seamlessly. This means that the rotational motion of the spatial line always spirals. Moreover, the time line in the center revolves around a bigger time line and spirals. It is a very complicated relationship.

All phenomena rotate. What kind of connections do we have for phenomena we encounter through rotational motion? Is it close or far?  The place changes, depending on that, and keeps a rotational motion under “Taiko-Hassei,” which is a life.

Circles (Connections) are infinite and the time line penetrates through every core. Therefore, time lines are everywhere in this world. Our body consists of about 60 trillion cells, and the time line penetrates in each cell. What an incredible universe!

Describing a spiral means that there is always a cycle. Each rotation has its own cycle. We humans have a cycle of 80-years per lifetime, and insects have a cycle of a few months. Bacteria might have a cycle of a few seconds and even stars have a cycle of billions of years. Infinite time lines from micro to macrocosm interlock complexly. It is the time line that penetrates all. When we can understand its structure, we can say that the era which weaves time is a life, and we, those who live the era are time travelers.

When connections are cut, a rotational motion stops and phenomena disappear. That is, a rotational motion sustains connections.

Tomoko:

I wondered why the Japanese currency is Yen (En in Japanese) yesterday, and right now Isadon talked about circles (En in Japanese). How interesting!

Isadon:

Money is the blood of society. It circulates the world, connects every corner, and returns again. Everything is a rotational motion. It is woven by connections. It is the same structure with the blood that which circulates our body and plays a role.

Tomoko:

Our lives exists by a rotational motion. Without it, the time line disappears and so do phenomena.

Isadon:

It is called death. Lifetime is like a motion of flywheels. When a rotation begins, connections emerge, a form of one life is established, and an original cycle of the life begins. When the rotation ends, it is the end of a lifetime. The stronger and broader the rotation becomes, the longer the cycle becomes. The weaker the rotation becomes, the shorter the cycle becomes. It interlocks with other rotational motions and weaves a fabric of a majestic life, which is the real figure of this world.

Everything is a Frame which Weaves from the Beginning to the End of the Universe

 Tomoko:

I wonder why I exist. The form of me exists by being woven by connections, but why do connections emerge? At least, I do not feel I make myself exist intentionally, but isn’t my intention functioning after all because connections emerge?

Isadon:

Connections are generated when an intention functions. An intention (Ito in Japanese) is a thread (Ito in Japanese). An invisible thread of connections connect separate things. As a result, a rotational motion emerges and phenomena occur.

Humans are a self who they see and who they do not. When they reach a certain stage, they discover a new self who they did not recognize in the past. However, the new self has been here since before we came into consciousness.

We have existed even since before we were born. What we created in the past becomes causes and as a result, and phenomena emerge. It is called fate. This world exists under the law of cause and effect where phenomena occur appropriate to fate. The present exists as a story which has continued from a distant past. Connections which weave even this moment lead to the next event, and a new connection emerges from there again. In this manner, a story continues to unfurl. The beginning of fate is that of the universe. Also, the end of fate is that of the universe. So, it continues forever. Every existence is just a frame which connects from the beginning of the universe to the end of the universe.

The end of the universe means returning to the potential world. It is an empty state from the universal structure. Emptiness is eternity, which we, existences in the phenomenal world, cannot interpret. Therefore, we can say it is just a moment.

The universe endlessly repeats the process of birth, maintenance, destruction and emptiness. The last frame overlaps with the next new frame. It is empty and eternal. However, those who live in the phenomenal world like us tend to consider the end just as the beginning. The Lotus Sutra has a word of “Sanzen-Jindengo (three thousand is like a piece of dust in the infinite timeframe). It is said the universe repeats the process from birth to disappearance three thousand times. Three thousand times means infinite repetition beyond human thoughts.

When we come to think of things in such a scale, we are not trapped in what is close to us. However, it does not mean it is all right to neglect what is in front of us and our daily life such as waking up in the morning, having meals, and working. All phenomena exist appropriately to our level of consciousness, so we should not consider them as nothing. At the same time, it is just a momentary event from the majestic universal drama, so we do not have to be trapped in it. It is important to stay with it as information without being trapped in it.

The Biggest Theme for Humans

Isadon:

People cut away a part of a story, and consider it as themselves. However, everything is connected and the current self exists. If we cut away a part and try to perceive ourselves, we cannot reach the truth. Fate is woven through each moment, and phenomena change one after another. When the past is driven into distant memories, people tend to think only what they remember now is themselves. However, the result of fate which we have woven including far memories is us. That is, we are the universe itself.

Yoko:

When we analyze the meanings of fate (INNEN in Japanese) from the viewpoint of Katakamuna, I means a position, N strengthens the meaning of the previous sound (I), and NE means roots. Therefore, when a position of something is specified, it expands in an invisible place as roots, which is fate.

Isadon:

That is, fate is very deep-rooted. The result of fate from the past is manifested now. In other words, we can say that current phenomena indicate fate from the past like roots. Therefore, if we observe the current self deeply, even if we do not think of our past lives, we can see what kind of path we have taken in the past.

Tomoko:

Even if it is the same event, we can interpret it differently due to the differences in our level of consciousness. So, our current mind weaves the future.

Isadon:

How high or low and broad or narrow is our consciousness? The amplitude of the space line and accuracy of the cycles change depending on awareness. How to express it is up to us. Each person has an original history. Information based on their past experiences is incorporated in the DNA by their personality and nature. The information becomes a base, which creates the future. Therefore, an intention, which weaves connections, is the universal law which is in charge of the reincarnation of life and also the exact intention of the person.

Tomoko:

But, unless we know such a system, the intention becomes an unconscious one. Can we still call it an intention?

Isadon:

It is a state where an intention which has been woven unconsciously is expressed unconsciously. When we become aware of it and live, we can control our lives by ourselves.  If it expands more, we can grow to the level of operating this world of a life. There is a level where people cannot control themselves and are controlled by ego. Or we can stand at the position of operating this world, so human possibility is really diverse.

In order to open a possibility, a motivation to explore it is necessary. If there is a motivation to seek it, time moves to reach there. The destination of the train of time changes by an intention. Unless an intention functions, unconscious time just passes by. It is called an unconscious intention.

Tomoko:

For example, if people encounter an accident, many people consider themselves as a victim and blame others. However, in fact, we encounter it by fate which our previous self had established. On the other hand, it is not right to think everything is our fault.

Isadon:

It is an opportunity to learn the origin of things. That is why, we cannot get emotional. When we perceive things objectively without any emotion, it becomes a learning opportunity and accumulation to understand this world. We can expand our capacity by this, and live a life with a higher and broader will.

On the contrary, if we are trapped in our emotions and interpret things with a specific concept, we cannot make it a learning opportunity anymore and continue to stay in the same state. This means a decline in the world which always continues to change and transform. There are many people who do not recognize that they are emotional. They would like to judge things calmly, but in fact, they do it based on unconscious emotions, however they are not aware of this. In the modern era, such people’s emotions pile up, and emotions clash with each other on the national level, which becomes a major cause of conflict.

It is the biggest theme for humans to see themselves calmly and know who they are. We can limit our possibility, depending on our state, or expand it infinitely.

Majestic Habits and Nature

Isadon:

Connections continue by circles. The motion of the time line looks like a straight line. However, if we look at it without cutting away a part, everything rotates. The rotational motion works with the motion of the time line, it becomes a spiral. The planets of the solar system spiral and orbit the sun. The sun also spirals, orbits the galaxy and moves in the universe. Such a motion is the structure of this world itself.

Each planet of the solar system has an individuality. Mercury, the closest planet which indicates communication and rapidness orbits the sun rapidly. Venus, a planet which expresses love and beauty describes a steady and beautiful orbit of an exact circle. Earth describes a subtle ellipse and rotates with a groove. Mars which indicates passion and actions describe an extreme ellipse and rotates dynamically. Each orbit and speed is different, and each motion is a habit and nature in itself. Each planet orbits the sun as it is, works with each other, moves together, and the whole creates a harmony.

Each star marks a cycle at a certain rhythm with their habits and nature, and moves in the same pattern. Because its individuality exists as promised, it can work with each other. The time line of the solar system is the sun, but the sun also moves with habits and a nature as promised.

Tomoko:

I see! Habits and nature are order. If there is no habit at all and everything is completely free, a cycle would not be generated. So then nothing can take a stance and work with each other.

Isadon:

That is right. Habits and nature are order. In terms of the Konohana Family community, I am the time line and everyone else orbits me with their habits and nature. When I show them a direction to go, some follow it and some move farther away from it. When I think they might not come back, they take a detour and come back because they are members after all.

In other words, habits and nature are individualities. What kind of characteristics do we have, and what kind of motion do we have in the whole? If we unconsciously take actions with habits and nature, we might disturb the entire harmony. However, if we perceive it objectively, and utilize it as individuality, we can expand diversity and open the whole possibility. Therefore, it is not to remove habits and nature, but to utilize them effectively. Since there are habits and nature, motions are generated in this world and phenomena occur. Humans, planets, and galaxies have habits and a nature. The ultimate and majestic habits and nature is the real figure of God.

Tomoko:

Exactly! God has habits and a nature, so there is order in the world! The earth and the sun has an order and spiral, so morning and night come every day, four seasons are generated, and our life activities become possible. If there is no order and everyone moves separately, there would be no day or no season. So, we would not know when to sow seeds to raise crops. First of all, lives themselves cannot be born. Since there are habits and nature, a cycle is generated and we can live.

Isadon:

It is the promise of life. Everything exists in a rule of God’s habits and nature.

Each star is really unique. When I look at it individually, it is one-sided. For example, Jupiter plays a role of “expansion” and “development” and Saturn plays a role of “control” and “elimination.” A community cannot exist only with expansion or elimination. When what cannot exist alone gathers, expresses each individuality, and creates a network, the whole can keep balance. Each individual is unique and one-sided, and at the same time, the whole is in harmony. It is the universal law.

The awakening of common people is like this. According to the ancient Chinese calendar, the 21st century is considered as “the era of awakening for common people.” In the past, each ideology and religion defined values such as abundance and excellence, and everyone sought the same ideal uniformly. However, the real figure of the universe is not like that. As a matter of fact, YOU are extremely unique and original. Nobody else is like you. If people are not aware of this, individualities might be just a cause of disharmony. However, if you understand it fully, and contribute to society by playing your original role, you will be utilized and people will be happy that you are here. It is the era for common people to create such a harmony. If everyone is unique and is utilized fully, instead of making everyone the same with uniform values, everyone becomes essential. It is a very abundant world.

Ordinary “Universal Critic”

Tomoko:

When I look at you, I think you are having fun. When you do something, you do not do it by yourself, do you? For example, when you make a presentation, you work with Mika-chan. When you make a demon mask, you work with Ryochin. When you make Konohana microorganisms, you work with Hiromi-chan. In this way, you do things through partnership with various people and teams including outsiders, depending on the situation. If we work with such unique people, a different world is created in each situation. We can do what we cannot do alone. I think it is the structure of this world itself.

Isadon:

It is very interesting and joyful. Not everything is given to me. Intuition and wisdom comes up to me once in a while, but if I try to do everything alone, it would be impossible. For example, when making a demon mask, I have a kind of sense, but there is another person who creates it. I am involved in various things and offer something. I feel I do everything, but as a matter of fact, I cannot do anything by myself. When various people are involved, maximizing their individuality, we can achieve what ordinary people cannot do. I think the era will begin when individuals utilize their advantages in the future.

Tomoko:

I think it will be possible anywhere. Right now, our consciousness is trapped in the frame of ourselves, so each individual works separately. However, if our consciousness is freed, it will occur everywhere.

Isadon:

Those who want to be self-contained tend to hold what they do by themselves. It seems like I am swimming on the surface. I am involved in various things, and there is nothing I am doing by myself. It is one of the individualities.

Tomoko:

When you have worries, you are worried about other people.

Isadon:

When I think what to do, it is all about other people. I perceive my personality, so I do not get emotional about myself. I can say it is a kind of destiny. When I say it is a destiny, it seems to be fixed. However, it is not fixed at all. If I have to choose a word, I am like a “universal critic.”

Tomoko:

It is also an individuality.

Isadon:

However, the content itself which I talk about is not unique. What I talk about is the law of this world, so it is not unique at all. It is just an ordinary thing. It is difficult for most people to get out of their ego and see the world objectively, so I might look unique. But, once people stand at that position, they will understand that I just talk about extremely ordinary matters.

All lives spiral in a certain cycle. Our daily life, in which time moves from yesterday to tomorrow, is a spiral structure. Naturally stars move in this way, so we all exist under such a system. If people cut away a part, have the filter of an ego, say “I do not understand it” and deny it, and do not take in new information, they reach a conclusion that they cannot understand it. However, if we accept it as information with a flexible attitude, and think logically, we can understand it easily.

Tomoko:

We are given life in such a system every day. When I listen to the structure of the world this way, I get moved again, feeling “It is awesome!” But, I cannot see such a thing in my daily life and live. That is why, I get surprised this much now.

Isadon:

This means that your view is so narrow. You only see what is around you.

Tomoko:

A long time ago, when there was no clock and calendars, people saw planetary motion, and knew the transition of seasons. They applied it to hunting and farming, so they could survive. The planetary motion was the only clue that taught them the transition of the world. People could connect their lives by putting their consciousness toward it. Living was directly connected with planetary motion for them.

Isadon:

A long time ago, people talked with the divine and lived with the universe. They sensed the air of each moment, felt the moisture, sensed natural disasters and the threat of beasts with intuition, and escaped from it. This means that they had such a sharp intuition.

Intuition is to sense the planetary motion of the “divine” and feel the crisis of a moment, which is a “point.” (Both divine and points are pronounced as Ten in Japanese.) Those who were able to sustain their lives by that connected DNA continued into the future. Their descendants are us. That is, we are like a legacy which was generated in an extension of the DNA of intuition to sense the divine and points of time.

However, modern people have forgotten that completely, have drowned into material desires, and their intuition to sense what is really necessary has been paralyzed. Therefore, a huge confusion has occurred in the lives and society of the modern era.

A Point (Ten in Japanese) is the Divine (Ten in Japanese)

Time flows continuously. The future comes closer to us with each moment, and the past becomes farther away. It is a rotational motion, so time makes a circuit and comes back around. However, even if it is a cycle of one year or that of one lifetime, it does not return to the same point A, but reaches point A’ which has evolved for one cycle.

When a rotation stops and the time line disappears, life marks an end. But the elements that consisted of that life enter each subtle cycle. When the cycle ends as a human, the body returns to a cycle of atoms, and is incorporated into the cycle of the next role. Death belongs to the same cycle of life. It is a chain of life and death where a part of the body returns to nature every day, and we take in food which becomes a part of the body. It is also a rotational motion and a spiral motion.

Tomoko:

When we talked about “the project of departure” at the community meeting the other day, Mika-chan described a diagram of the system of life. In the diagram, the time line was described in a straight line, and looked to flow in the same way. But, she said that the parts except for “life” which are periods of “death” are “points.”

Isadon:

There are two kinds of death. One is death in the phenomenal world (world with existence). It comes and goes between the visible and invisible world. In this case, although the body is destroyed, the soul is not dismantled. The other one is death in the potential world (world with no-existence). In this case, the soul is dismantled, returns to the potential world which is the source of everything, and becomes empty. It is a world where we reach as a result of enlightenment.

The visible world is supported by the invisible world behind it. Something like minds, personalities, and the nature of substances are invisible. The phenomenal world exists under “Taiko-Hassei” between the visible and invisible world. Death in the phenomenal world is to go from a visible place to an invisible place. When a certain period passes, the soul returns to the visible place again. It is life and death in the phenomenal world that repeats a cycle of the visible and invisible world. And a steady time continues to flow there.

%e3%82%b9%e3%83%a9%e3%82%a4%e3%83%891

On the contrary, death in the potential world is disappearance. Disappearance is a state where ego disappears, so there is no interpretation. Time also disappears. Therefore, we can say it is a point. Or, it means that we enter a cycle in which the living cannot interpret, so it is extremely long. It is existence and non-existence. It is long and short. Even if we try to perceive it with the thinking of the phenomenal world, we cannot understand it at all. A point (Ten in Japanese) is the divine (Ten in Japanese), which is the universe.

The phenomenal world (world with existence) exists under a dualistic structure with the visible and invisible world. If the potential world (world with non-existence) which is the source of everything is included, the world exists under a triplex structure. As the visible and invisible world exists under “Taiko-Hassei,” the phenomenal and potential world exist under it as well.

The cycle of life and death in the phenomenal world is a double helix where something visible intersects with something invisible. Moreover, if the cycle of life and death in the potential world is added, it becomes a triplex helix where the soul goes even to the potential world. There are helixes only in the phenomenal world and helixes in the entire world including the potential world, too. And the time line penetrates at its core.

Time continues to flow steadily in the cycle of the phenomenal world. However, in the cycle of the entire world including the potential world, time flows and stops repeatedly. In this manner, the universe repeats emergence and disappearance. When this cycle is expressed in a diagram, it looks like a lotus root. It is called the “lotus universe.”

Yoko:

Both “time (TOKI in Japanese)” and “space (TOKORO in Japanese) begins with TO in Japanese. TO means integration. Time (TOKI) means that integration (TO) emerges (KI). KO in TOKORO (place) means to roll over and RO means a hollow state. That is, an integrated energy of time flows and something rolls over from there. Then, the place is generated and phenomena occur. However, in fact, phenomena are fleeting things with a hollow state.

Isadon:

When the space line is generated, phenomena occur. We can see them, so they look steady. However, visible forms continue to change, so in fact, we cannot capture them. We cannot capture things in the visible world. Therefore, the phenomenal world is called “the impermanence of all things.”

We gain a form and appear into the visible world, but it is temporary. We can say that the invisible world behind the forms is our real figure. Either world flows with time and continues to change.

Yoko:

The place (TOKORO) is in a hollow state, so the time line can penetrate through it.

Isadon:

This world exists only when both time and space exist. Time and space exist under “Taiko-Hassei” and support each other simultaneously.

“You Got it?”

Tomoko:

God created an interesting world.

Isadon:

The more we unlock it, the more we become moved with a feeling of “this law is everywhere!” Everything from the invisibly subtle microcosmic world to the giant macrocosmic world is under the same law. This means everything is given a really thorough consideration. However, the law is very simple. In this manner, a majestic world is created.

When I think of the real figure of the origin which has created this world, I get so moved by its greatness that I feel it is adorable, saying “You have done this much.” Thinking like that, God smiled and said, “You got it?”

We shared our thoughts with each other, which is great.

The reality of the universe exists there. When our human thoughts get used to the law, its reality will be unlocked. However, it is eternal and infinite. There is always an unknown future.

Now, people talk about God under the name of religions on earth. However, they see God with their emotions. Therefore, people make conflicts and wars under the name of God, and die. What narrow viewpoints do people see things with?

We cannot see the reality of God if we get emotional. Being emotional means seeing things with their own habits and natures. If so, we cannot see the reality and truth. It is important to free ourselves and sense it without any emotions, our own habits and nature. It is to be sensed, so we cannot talk with words.

That is why, we should know ourselves. Only when we know our habits and nature, and objectively know how disproportionately we see things, we will begin to know this world.

Tomoko:

It is difficult for humans to do so. Although their habits and nature are pointed out, they cannot see their reality.

Isadon:

It is because people look from the inside out. They see things only through the filter of their ego. As long as we exist, we have a viewpoint to recognize, however, at the same time, we need to have a viewpoint to see ourselves from outside without the filter of our ego. This means that the distance from other people disappears. Other people’s viewpoints become our own, and our viewpoints become theirs. It is the world where I am you and you are I without any boundaries. Removing (Tori in Japanese) the gap (Sa in Japanese) between you and me leads to enlightenment (Satori in Japanese).

In order to manifest such a world, people need to gather and live in one boat. As people have survived as one life as a community during the severe era a long time ago, we will gather again, live as one life as a community and manifest the truth of this world. It is the only way for modern society to get out of confusion, where individuals get out of control and see things only from their ego. No matter how much we talk about the ideal world, if we do not do that, a new world will not emerge.

Can we reach a mental state where we can interpret this? All answers exist there.

Tomoko:

When God smiles, you share this mind with God. Listening to it this way now, I feel his mind, too.

Isadon:

When I feel the existence of God, tears come out.

Tomoko:

You are just trying to convey such a mind to everyone. You just want to feel it with everyone and understand each other with heart.

Isadon:

I believe in God, so I try to convey his greatness to people. However, when I say, “God exists,” people try to perceive it from their level of consciousness. Then, they do not understand what I mean anymore.

If I talk about his greatness, people try to interpret it based on their own concept. Then, his greatness cannot be conveyed again. So, if I say, “You should sense it,” people try to sense it at their level of consciousness again. After all, they do not understand what I mean.

I think it might be impossible. Those who encountered the scene like you can sense the air of the place, and get it. In order to sense it, it is necessary not only to be there but also to stay with it. However, those who keep their own concept interpret through their perspective anyways. So, we cannot understand each other. Nothing can be done about it.

Tomoko:

In fact, you are just trying to understand each other. However, everyone sees things through their ego, so they cannot get it.

Isadon:

God is the real figure of this world, so we can get access to it from anywhere. It is different from what religions have piled up. Its purpose is different. Originally, religions are the path to understand the real figure of this world, instead of gratifying wishes and saving people.

When it is expressed with words, the nature is already slightly different. When we talk about understanding the real figure of this world, humans might try to learn it as knowledge. But, it is not true. We are the world itself, and can understand our unity and exist.

When we reach there, events on earth are not important anymore. There are infinite perspectives, and we can reach the mind of “Everything is fine” from anywhere. In a sense, it is a state of “non-existence.” However, phenomena “do exist.” The entity exists.

Yoko:

For example, if everyone’s mind becomes like “Everything is fine” at the community meeting, it would be proof that the whole is coming to a harmonious point.

Isadon:

If such a place is established here, visitors will wonder with a mysterious sense, “Well…Where is this?”

Ego is not for Gratifying but for Transcending
From Humans To HITO

Now, we are preparing for Lotus Land which will open on March 21st next year. Y-san, who visited here yesterday for the first time in months, said, “I feel the Konohana Family has changed enormously.” A part of Lotus Land will be a café, and I thought we need to indicate calories for meals. Then, she said she had experiences as a national registered dietician, and wants to be involved in its management. She sought her dream, went to Kyushu, did her best, but things did not go so well. After that, she came to consult with me, and encountered the project of Lotus Land.

As a matter of fact, we did not begin this project intentionally. We have received serendipitous encounters, and proceeded according to the flow. As a result, encounters with necessary things and people like her have come at a necessary timing. She said that she has thought hard by herself and made plans, but nothings has been successful. When I told her about how the plan of Lotus Land proceeded, she asked me, “Why is it going so well?” Then, I answered, “It is because we have woven connections.”

When we think and plan things with our brain, we ignore connections and do things with ego and desires. So, things do not go well. There is a cycle of the place with time as its axis in this world. When we deviate from the cycle, we deviate from the nature of this world. If we board on this cycle, things (the time line) flow naturally and things (the place line) are achieved automatically. In order to do so, unless we reach a certain state, we cannot encounter such a world.

Although something reaches a dead end, there is the next world ahead of the dead end. Even if A reaches a dead end, there is A’. In this manner, we can make a breakthrough. Although it looks the same, A’ has advanced for one cycle and it is different from the previous A. It is essential to transcend our ego and become the spirit of “receiving answers.” Ego is not to be gratified, but to be controlled and transcended. Only when people reach such a spiritual state, what to do in accordance with the flow will come up automatically.

Humans try to utilize themselves based on ego, and plot various things. However, when we transcend ego and see this world, we can see that the world continues to give us order. The world always gives us the next A’. Although we understand it or not, we are given life in such a structure. And today is always a new world which is different from yesterday.

When humans understand this structure, they will become an existence to understand from the beginning to the end of the universal structure which proceeds in “HI HU MI YO I MU NA YA KO TO (meaning one to ten in Japanese), which is “HITO.”

The macro-cosmos is a giant life. Everything from the galaxy, the solar system, the earth, the global ecosystem, nations, human bodies to each cell has a fractal configuration. The extremely giant macro-cosmos and the invisible micro-cosmos move under the same structure. This world is a vortex of fractal figures.

Who moves it? What we can say it is?

“Something great.”

“We Are Eran People” A Message from the Era to All People Living on Earth

 

We are “Eran People.” That is, we are all travelers who board a common vehicle of the time and travel. The earth also boards this vehicle of time. Everything which exists in this world travels along time. Moreover, the earth physically travels in the universe.

Why does time proceed? It is because people established a standard of time such as one second, one minute, one hour, one day, and one year, and recognize time. This seems to be applied only to human society. However, this world exists under a cycle. Not only people divided it for their convenience, but also one day is one rotation of the earth. One year is one revolution of the earth. In a cycle with the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, plants sprout, bloom, leave seeds, rest during winter for a while, and sprout again in spring. The time proceeds with such a repetition. Therefore, the cycle was not made by humans. Everything else in the world is also bound by this structure.

Now, we are facing a historical turning point in such a great cycle. You have begun to realize such a transition of the era, so you have encountered this message. Now, the global environment and world affairs have faced the peak of confusion. However, the era always continues to move toward the future. Therefore, the current chaos will surely settle sooner or later, and the world will not continue to move forward in this extension. If we are not blinded by our desires, we will see that the era is coming to a dead end, just as the seasons change. Now that we have faced an unprecedented crisis in human history, the era is telling us that we need to transform our attitude.

How should we live in the coming era?

 “The era is a life, has a will, and weaves the time.”

The 21st century is the beginning of “the Eraism.” Those who live “the Eraism” are not controlled by their own desires, and can live freely in the world. “Eran People” are universal travelers.

 “The Eraism” is a new way of living which will replace the conventional ideologies such as communism and capitalism. Communism was supposed to be an ideal world which humans thought of. However, nature was not incorporated into the base of communist society. Therefore, communism has developed with environmental destruction. Capitalism has stimulated human desires, generated competition and disparity, and brought contradictions to nature. So, capitalism has followed the same road with communism. Ironically, an extremely arrogant word such as natural preservation has been created in such a society. Therefore, capitalism will surely mark an end sooner or later. An ideology which emerges after communism and capitalism is that humans are not a main character, but the era is alive and has a will. Then, we humans will be able to reach a level of creating this world with the era.

The future is always unknown, and time always moves forward. Therefore, when we live the era, we always travel toward an unknown world. A destiny we will reach, brought about by the will of the era and the universe. If humans can see their own future, then the era would have to move along with human speculation. However, the era is weaved beyond it.

Looking back on recent human history, it was an era of destruction where human activities did not harmonize with the world. Even if people reflected on it and tried to change the situation, they would just continue to create a society for themselves after all. Their attitude is far from the universal will, which requires completing a world with a bigger frame as an extension of human roles. Historically and universally, humans were not born to create the era with their own will. Each one of us was born and will die, but we are just a part of one life for the whole of humanity and all living beings on earth. Even the earth and the universe is one life, and all of the worlds operated within them are stories.

The main character is the flow of the era and the universal law, which has a will. In order for that to express something through the era, we humans were brought down on earth. Unless we are open to read and understand a story, which will be expressed on the stage of the earth, it is impossible for us to receive the will of the era and live with it. It is said that our ancestor, Homo sapiens emerged on earth 200,000 years ago. Going back further, several million kinds of living beings have existed on earth so far since the first life emerged on earth 4 billion years ago. Out of all, it was about 70 million years ago that Tyrannosaurus swaggered on earth, which is considered “the strongest creature in the history of the earth.”

The era of dinosaurs was a part of the universal project. How big and strong can a creature become? A small and weak dinosaur, which originally had a full length of three meters and a weight of 75kg, expressed the will of the era. Through environmental changes it reached its height as Tyrannosaurus, the strongest creature during the history of the earth, which had a full length of 13 meters and a weight of 6 tons, over 100 million years of evolution. However, they came to an end when they exhausted their resources due to conquering this world, destroying other creatures, and ate each other. After they reigned as the strongest creature in the history of the earth, there was a scene where they killed each other. This figure was the same as modern people. In a current society where wars and conflicts do not cease, humans are like eating each other.

Looking at the history of biological evolution on earth, six great extinctions have occurred in the past 600 million years. The previous extinction occurred about 65 million years ago with the dinosaurs. It is said that there is the possibility of another extinction for living beings in the near future. According to statistics, we can say that we are moving toward an extinction right now. Each extinction occurs for a different reason. 65 million years ago, when a huge meteorite fell to earth, an unexpected ending for the dinosaur era came. Dinosaurs were forced into extinction by the subsequent dramatic environmental changes. But, even if the meteorite did not fall to earth, Tyrannosaurus might have been destined to become extinct anyway by eating off the other dinosaurs. If the earth is considered as one life, humans seem to be cancerous cells on earth. Therefore, considering the balance of the global ecosystem, we can say that such a creature has to be destroyed.

Comparing dinosaurs with humans, humans are given an ability to see the era from the past to the future. On top of that, an ability is hidden within them to understand the structure of the world and even to create the world. In a sense, it is humans that were given the highest ability and the biggest influence during the history of earth. If Tyrannosaurus is the strongest creature during the history of earth, we humans are “the greatest masterpiece.” However, great human ability is like a double-edged sword. If people continue to use it for their egos, they might bring about the next extinction. If they use it effectively, they also have the possibility of bringing a more advanced world, by overcoming the extinction crisis. The universe might require this of humans, to go beyond the lesson of Tyrannosaurus.

10,000 years ago, when humans still led a primitive life, they lived with the structure of this world. Whether they flourished or fell was up to the will of the era. At that time, humans emerged as one character in the history of biological evolution on earth, which interlocks with sunspot activities, crustal movements of the earth, and the transition of the era. In early time, it was a scene of humans who lived naturally with plants and animals without expressing their own will.

However, as Tyrannosaurus evolved to be the strongest creature during the history of the earth, humans have evolved to become a creature with the greatest ability during the history of the earth. It is humans that have evolved with the establishment of the ego. Each individual was given a hope, a miraculous ability and mission of self-realization. Out of all living beings on earth, it is only humans that have wishes and were given an ability to accomplish them. In the past, they have considered gratifying their wishes which came up within themselves as their life purpose, and have been controlled by their own desires.

Originally, living beings were not in a position where they could accomplish their own wishes. However, accomplishing wishes is gratifying desires, and humans have ended up becoming captivated by them. The more humans try to accomplish their wishes and the more their wishes come true, human desires expand infinitely, and their egos become even stronger. Now, such modern people have spread contradictions to the world, and have faced the peak of chaos.

This is a great universal experiment for if such an ability was given to humans, what kind of ending will they face? Furthermore, this is a great challenge for how humans will overcome contradictions, which they have brought about for themselves and this world by gaining such an excellent ability.

Now that the door of the 21st century has opened, the era of a new millennium from the year 2000 to 3000 has begun. We have shifted from the era when humans saw their own possibilities to one when we know who we are in this world and live through the truth of our life’s purpose.

Why does the universe exist? Why does the earth exist? Why do living beings exist? Why do humans exist? And why do YOU exist?

The era has arrived when the earth itself and the whole of humanity will become awakened. This is the beginning of an era when all humans will understand the meaning of boarding the Spaceship of Earth. They will express the will of the era on earth, which is an oasis created in the universe, and a miraculous utopia.

The era is alive and has a will. Originally, we humans stand at a position where we sense the changes of the era and live along with it. Therefore, we do not have to try to create the era with our thoughts.

From this viewpoint, the world is one. Everything moves as one along with the era. This is the true figure of the universe. When people with such a consciousness emerge on earth, their vibrancy radiates in the world. Then, those who resonate with it take action, which will change the world gradually. When more people who resonate with it take action and their vibrancy spreads throughout the world, such a chain of awakening moves the era. The vibrancy of awakening settles confusion in this world, embraces the earth which has been damaged by human activities, and restores the earth as an originally beautiful planet.

Each person’s awakening becomes like waves, which link with each other, and circle the whole earth. It does not have a sound and has no need for power. It is the same as we cannot hear the sound of time when it moves forward. It is also the same as we cannot hear the sound of rotation and revolution of the earth. Therefore, when the era moves, we cannot hear its sound. Please listen carefully and sense the sound of the era. Now, the movement of such a human awakening has begun on earth.

The time has arrived when we release ourselves from the frame of our egos, and live freely in the infinite universe. When our desires and ambitions disappear from inside of us, the universal truth will emerge. Then, we will be able to stand at the most appropriate position which is in accordance with the reason why humans were born. Those who become aware of such a truth read the era, feel its flow, and become “Eran People” who live here and now.

This is a message that the era is telling all people living on earth at the beginning of the 21st century.

A Record of the Konohana Family:

The Story of the Golden God

A long long time ago, even before the earth and the universe were born, there was only “vibrancy”. That was the eternal and perfect existence where everything matched completely without any distortion. There was only God.

God was bored. “I am perfection, so I cannot know even my existence. My perfect existence cannot know myself due to perfection.” God, the existence of only light, could not see what light is.

Then, God divided one perfect body. He created darkness to know what light is, and the earth to know what divine is. He put the imperfect world in a far place which was opposite from himself. Then, time and space were born. In this manner, time and space were to return to the original oneness again.

As a screw of a music box turns, in the journey to return from imperfection to perfection, this world resonates various sounds and creates music. This is one of a long long story.

The Era When Gods Governed the World

2page-3

How long has it been since the original oneness was divided?

Seven gods, the creators of the universe emerged into the world. From there, multitudinous unique gods were born continuously. They tried to act freewheeling, so the Great God of the Earth preached the rules of the mind severely so that they do not disturb the world. The Great God of the Earth is called “Kunino Tokotachino Omikami” and he got on the wrong side of multitudinous gods due to his severity.

“We cannot stand his severity anymore. What can we do?” Multitudinous gods discussed it and went to the Great God of the Divine. “Could you ask the Great God of the Earth to leave?” The Great God of the Divine received the appeal from the multitudinous gods and told the Great God of the Earth. “I am sorry to inform you, but please leave the front of this world at once. However, the time will surely come when the world reaches a dead end someday. Then, please emerge again and rebuild this world.”

Receiving this, the Great God of the Earth resigned into the direction of the North East (called the direction of “Ushitora” in Japanese), and came to be called “the Golden God of Ushitora” since then. This direction was feared as the “the direction of the demon” and had been sealed.

A long time has passed since then. Multitudinous gods continued to act freewheeling during that period. That is why, the current world is in such wild disorder. The world has come where people always prioritize themselves and strong ones beat weak ones. The time has arrived exactly as the Great God of the Divine said, “The time will surely come when the world reaches a deal end someday.”

 

The Birth of the Hana Matsuri
(meaning Flower Festival)

The time had passed and it was about 700 years ago.

Some ascetic monks went upstream of Tenryu River from Kumano to the Okumikawa area, Aichi Prefecture. Then, they began to preach the doctrine of ascetic practices to villagers through songs and dances which were popular in the Metropolis at that time. According to the doctrine, disasters of this world are brought by human sins. When people purify their uncleanliness, they can be reborn into a new self. This is the beginning of “the Hana Matsuri,” a nationally important intangible folk cultural asset which has been taken over in Toei-cho in the Okumikawa area.

During this festival, water was drawn from waterfalls and boiled in a pot at a furnace which is located in the center of the festival site, and some dancers continue to dance around it overnight. Then, gods emerged as rising vapor up from the pot, which comes down on the dancers. When such dancers and the audience dance together, people can interact with the gods, purify their uncleanliness, and receive a new life force. A newly reborn life is called “Hana (flower).”

3page

The Hana Matsuri is held in the coldest time of the year. And many kinds of demons emerge during it. Out of all, the demon leader called the Sakaki (meaning a holy tree) Demon is valued the most in this festival as the one who awakens life forces which have sunk deep into the soil during the cold winter.

In modern Japan, demons are hated as an existence which brings disasters. So, on the last day of winter, on February 3rd, Japanese people say, “Get demons out of the house. Invite happiness into the house” and scatter roasted soybeans. However, in fact, demons come to shine light in the darkness within humans’ minds once a year. They shine light into the spiritual darkness of people who have deviated from the original path, and teach them to purify their minds and return to the original path. But, for those who try not to face the darkness of their minds, demons are disagreeable and the source of disasters themselves.

This Sakaki Demon was the figure of the Golden God of Ushitora who was sealed away a long long time ago.

 

The Third Son Who was Born on May 3rd

%e3%81%84%e3%81%95%e3%81%bf-300x251In 1951, when all of Japan was full of energy during postwar reconstruction, a boy was born in Mino-city, Gifu Prefecture. He was born on May 3rd as the third son, so he was named as “Isami (meaning five, three and three in Japanese).” Later, Isami Furuta became a founder of the Konohana Family and, now is called “Isadon”.

He grew up in a famous family in a local area where his father was a councilperson. He was so shy that he hid his face with a textbook not to be called on by his teacher during class. But, once he stepped outside, he was very naughty. He ran down the terraces with his friends, surrounded by the abundant nature of Mino-city, caught fish in the river, climbed up the roof of the local shrine, and took naps. It was very warm on the roof of the shrine, so it gently warmed his body which became chilled by the river.

Just before he turned 20, the spirit of his grandmother who passed away 5 years ago emerged above his head. He valued his ancestors since he was little, so he thought that she came to him as a guardian spirit. In fact, his job and human relationships brought much better results than his efforts. He married at the age of 21, and started an interior coordinating company with his wife, Ai-chan, in Komaki-city, Aichi Prefecture. At that time, his dream was to increase the number of his shops, earn more money, drive a nice car and have a good life.

 

The Emergence of Buddha

It was at the end of the year at the age of 30. Isadon suddenly realized that the existence of his grandmother who had been always above his head disappeared. Instead, the figure of a 50-year-old black man emerged. “Who is he?” Even if he talked to the man, there was no answer from him.

After the New Year began, he visited a cave at a quarry in Komatsu-city, Ishikawa Prefecture in January. When he looked at an over two-meter Buddha statue, a shock ran through his body. “This is Buddha.” Even after he left that site, the existence of Buddha intensely remained within his mind somehow.

After he came back home, mysterious matters happened. When he sat alone in his room, the golden Buddha came gliding close to him from his back and stopped above his head. How can he describe this figure? It is just precious. It was such an existence. The golden light shined and it was so brilliant that he could not compare it to anything else.

Tears welled up in his eyes. This is what preciousness is. There is such a world. He felt so grateful that he could not stop crying. “But, why? Why did such a precious existence come to me?” He could not stop crying, thinking like this. Such a state continued for three days.

A few days later, when he practiced meditation, a pain between his eyebrows appeared suddenly. He could not sleep at night on the third day from the emergence of the pain, so he just lied in bed. It was so painful that he could not stand it anymore and screamed involuntarily, “Ouch!!” Then, the pain disappeared suddenly, and something like smoke rose up between his eyebrows.

Somehow, he got a hole between his eyebrows. When he shook his head, he heard the sound of the wind. “There is a hole after all!” Then, he showed his face to Ai-chan, and said, “Hey, I got a hole between my eyebrows.” However, she said, “What are you talking about? There is no hole,” and ignored him. When he looked at his face in the mirror, surely there was no hole. However, whenever he moved, he heard the sound of the wind. “What has happened to me?!” He lied down in bed again without knowing what was happening.

Then, a strange thing happened suddenly. The space around him began to be absorbed into the hole between his eyebrows at a furious speed. He screamed in his mind, “Oh my God!” Something began to flow into it at a full speed.

It stopped after a little while, and the hole on his forehead was closed. He got up. Then, he saw a red bean sized small man wearing monk’s working clothes worshiping him earnestly around 45 degrees diagonally downward from view. “Who is he? I have seen him somewhere.” When he thought like this and looked at the man carefully, it was Isadon himself. “Oh, my God! It is me! Then, who am I??” When he looked at himself, it was a giant Buddha.

Then, he came to understand. “I see. The golden Buddha entered me. I was not good enough, so I cannot live with it and was expelled.”

Isadon Can See the Forms of Human Minds

After a period of time, Isadon began to care about people’s names irresistibly. Many names surged into him like flood from one to the next. On the third day, he could not sleep at night, could not stand it anymore and screamed involuntarily at dawn, “Wooooow!” At that moment, a line was drawn between the first letter of the name and the second one. He could see this showed some kind of law.

This is the beginning of “karma reading.” Names marvelously show unique forms of human minds (karma) which are different from person to person with the law of yin and yang.

He went to various houses on business every day, and mysterious matters began to happen there too. Even when he visited a house for the first time, he came to understand the issues of the house perfectly somehow, and could see how to solve them. Then, he came to give advice to people. When he started to talk, what he had never heard of came out of his mouth. It was not his words but the words of Buddha who entered him. Isadon was always outside of himself, listened to Buddha’s words and learned from them.

 

Tell the Truth of the Earth

One day, Buddha said to Isadon, “Practice a 1000 day training.” So, he practiced meditation every day for three years since then. When he meditated one day, he moved out of his body. As if a rocket is launched, he rose higher and higher. Finally, he flew out into outer space.

He looked at the earth with the moon at his back. “How beautiful it is… The blue planet is floating in a cosmic space. It was miraculously beautiful. However, something like keloid is seen here and there on this beautiful planet. They were traces of human activities such as cities and destroyed forests. They undermine the earth like skin cancer.”

A thought of a strong confession came up within Isadon’s mind. “It is me, not someone else that has made the earth in such a state. The seed is inside of all humans. I will tell this truth as the one who has realized the true figure of the earth.” Once he decided so in his mind, he was released from this cosmic space gradually, and returned to his body who was practicing meditation.

After he met the spirit of Buddha, he stopped eating meat and fish. He also quit dressing up. Ai-chan lamented like “We are supposed to earn much money and have a good life, but this is not how I understood it.” His parents were worried like, “Our son went out of his mind.”

However, at the same time, some people said, “There is an interesting person.” Such a rumor spread by word of mouth, and people who wanted to listen to him speak and learn about the mind began to gather. They listened to him speak on the second floor of his shop after work every night. There was a time when he continued to talk for 15 hours straight. Like monks who perform cold water ablutions in fall, they exposed themselves to the words which came out from Isadon, feeling like their minds were purified mysteriously, and returned home.

One day, he asked Buddha, “When people gather like this and an organization is created, will I become like a guru of a new religion in the future?” Then, Buddha answered, “Do not create an organization in the next era. People gather. Gather and talk. The truth will emerge from talk. The next world will begin from there.”

 

“I Feel Painful”

Day after day, it was a continuation of dialogues with Buddha. It was a path for Isadon to deny himself. Egotistic thoughts like “I want to do this and that” came up inside of him. “However, no matter how much I think, what Buddha preached is superior. If so, I should choose that.” While he continued to deny his thoughts in this manner, he was tormented by loneliness as if he would disappear once in a while.

His determination to take this path was firm. Still, he felt painful. He wanted Buddha to understand his pain, so he said to Buddha, “I feel painful.” Then, one word came back from Buddha, “If so, will you quit taking this path?”

Listening to it, Isadon became angry. “There are many people who do not know this precious path and do not take it in the world. However, once people meet this preciousness, who will not take this path? No matter what happens, I will stick to it. But, I am foolish and not appropriate to this preciousness. I feel painful to remove my ego. I just want you to understand my feelings.”

For a while, there was no word from Buddha. Then, Buddha said, “There is no way that you do not understand the preciousness of this path. You must surely know that.”

Buddha always watched and guided Isadon as his father, mother and master. Buddha understood his mind more than anyone else. Isadon was taught to separate from himself and look at himself. Without noticing it, he came to see things beyond his profit-and-loss calculation and intentions. In this manner, he took the path together with Buddha for 9 years since he was 30.

 

Why Don’t You Walk? You Can Walk.

When Isadon was 39, he met two shamans through a customer’s introduction: Sumiko-san who was 12 years older than him, and Ikuyo-san who was 12 years younger than him. After that, he began to visit Sumiko-san’s place. One day he felt Buddha, who should have been always right above his head, became a little far away suddenly somehow, and Isadon thought something was wrong.

When he went to Sumiko-san’s place, she said to him, “Mr. Furuta, now Buddha is telling you like this,” and she conveyed Buddha’s message. Isadon was surprised. “Buddha always talked to me directly, but why does he convey his message through Sumiko-san today? I felt Buddha has become far away for a while now. Don’t tell me Buddha is about to leave me.”

Then, he talked to Buddha in his mind. “Are you going to leave me? I am still like a baby and have no confidence in walking by myself.”

He did not speak out, but he just talked to Buddha in his mind. Then, an answer came back from Sumiko-san. “Mr. Furuta, it is all right. Buddha is not going to leave you, but he finished his role and is going to rise to the divine. He said he is going to watch you from above.”

When he heard of it, he thought, “What I have experienced until now is true!”

Until then, the dialogues with Buddha were always within his mind. When he began to hear Buddha’s voice, he doubted if he might have gone crazy. However, nothing can be born from doubt. Then, he repeatedly tried to remove the doubt, moved forward and encountered a new world which he could not see until then. As a result, he had nurtured the belief.

However, now an answer for what he thought in his mind returned from someone else’s mouth. “My experiences were not delusion. Buddha does exist.” This was the moment when he became able to believe in Buddha from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, finally he became able to get out of the doubt which he held somewhere in his mind for 9 years since he encountered Buddha.

But, now that he could really believe in Buddha finally, Buddha was about to leave him. He talked to Buddha desperately. “I am still immature like a baby. How can I walk this path without you?” Then, the words came back directly to him without going through Sumiko-san.

“You have grown up fully already. It is only you who thinks you are a baby. Why don’t you walk? You can walk.” Now, Buddha considered Isadon as his friend, not his son or disciple anymore.

Buddha rose higher and higher, and became far from him. Isadon was crying, thinking “Please do not go.” However, at the same time, he knew this time would come somewhere in his mind. This time, words came out from Sumiko-san. “Mr. Furuta, it is all right. You have  enough power to walk by yourself.”

 

Encounter with the God of the Sun

Isadon got in a car, and left Sumiko-san’s place. Now that Buddha who was with him for 9 years just left, he thought he will not have a dialogue with a spiritual existence anymore.

The voice continued, “I will protect you from now on.” Then, he thought, “I see. Now that Buddha is gone, I have no other choice but to follow this voice.” So, he said to the God, “I appreciate it.” Finally, the path with Japanese gods began after a nine-year training with Buddha.

 

To the Summit of Japan Before Sunrise

%e5%af%8c%e5%a3%ab%e5%b1%b1%e9%bb%92-624x630It was during Isadon’s 40th summer. A voice said, “Climb Mt. Fuji” which came down to him from the divine. When he asked why, he was told, “Stand at the summit of Japan before sunrise and receive an order.” He had no idea why he needed to climb Mt. Fuji at all. However, he thought, “God said so anyway, so I will do it” and headed to Mt. Fuji.

It was on a weekend, so Mt. Fuji seethed with people. It was his first time to climb Mt. Fuji, so he was very tired. “But, I need to reach the summit before sunrise definitely.” He climbed for his life and made it before sunrise finally.

The Eastern sky became bright gradually. He suddenly noticed something like a star was shining. He thought, “It is what called me here” and said to the light. “Now, I am standing at the summit of Japan as promised. Please give me your order.” It was 4:45 am on August 12th, 1991. Words came down from the divine. “Preach the spirit that you have learned and mastered from the divine, to the whole land under the sun from now on.”

“The land under the sun” means not only Japan, but also the land where the sun shines, that is the whole earth. Isadon promptly thought, “It is impossible. A person like me cannot play such a great role.” However, he asked himself. Buddha said to him, “Why don’t you walk? You can walk.” He thought, “I have learned to polish my mind for nine years. My determination to take this path will be firm in the future, too. If so, what I should do is just to continue to live this spirit.”

When he descended Mt. Fuji, he thought, “It was so hard when I ascended Mt. Fuji. But, now that I have overcome it, I feel like coming back here again. It is very interesting. Climbing is like a life in itself.”

 

Gods who do not polish their minds 

In terms of Isadon’s interactions with gods, he received messages directly or he judged the true intentions of various gods who came down upon two shamans. In such a situation, he questioned about the relationships between gods and humans. People own gods, saying “My God is the best” and gods who are involved with them did not try to correct such people.

Isadon learned from Buddha for 9 years and always polished his mind, so he asked various questions to gods with the sole purpose of learning more. Gods answered with dignity at first. However, when his consciousness became higher and his questions became more difficult, they dropped their heads, saying “I cannot answer your question…” and disappeared. Then, the next god with a higher rank appeared, saying “I will protect you.” This process was repeated, and the gods who protected Isadon changed seven times in total.

When he found out that Sumiko-san spoke god’s words and took money from her believers, he said to her, “You should not deceive people by talking about the gods like that.” Since then, he did not visit her place again. Also around Ikuyo-san, another shaman, gods apple-polish people, and they used the gods, so they did not polish their minds. As a result, Isadon came to hate interacting with gods gradually. One day, Ikuyo-san’s mother said to him, “Mr. Furuta, gods do not feel comfortable about you.”  He thought this is a good opportunity, said, “Then, please excommunicate me,” and left her place.

He felt refreshed. He thought, “I do not need protection from gods anymore. I will be devoted to the path of polishing my mind which has been given from Buddha.” It had been a year since Buddha left him.

 

Existence and Non-Existence

“I want to tell the way in which people should live and the truth of the universe to people in the world.” Isadon decided to create a training center for the mind where people learn the way of true life in his hometown, so he came back to Mino-city once in a while.

One day, he took a nap in the local shrine on the roof he always did in his childhood. It was a very sunny day, and he was sleeping comfortably, being surrounded by the holy forests.

Suddenly, he felt like someone told him to wake up, and he woke up. When he got up and looked around, numerous gods like armored warriors were everywhere from the stairs of the shrine to the hand rail. When he thought, “What are they?” he heard of a voice. “These existences are gods, too.” That is, the divine world is very broad like a pyramid from the god in charge of operating the universe to the god of poverty. There are various roles, and he was told that each human exists at the foot of the pyramid.

Isadon thought that this year was a time to learn the vast range of the divine world, he said “Thank you” and went down the stairs of the shrine. Clouds were in the blue sky.

When he left the sanctuary of the shrine, he became curious about what came above suddenly and looked up to the sky. Someone was there, looking at him. “What is it?”

He asked the existence that was in the sky. “Who are you?” But, there was no answer. He asked again, “What is your name?”

Then, the existence answered, “I do not have a name.” When he thought, “No name… How can I recognize you,” the existence said, “I am existence and non-existence.” It is the existence of the universal source which is the origin of all gods and everything in this world.

 

“The Phenomenal World” and “the Potential World”

In this world, there is “the visible world” which consists of visible matters such as the body and substances, and “the invisible world” which consists of invisible matters such as thoughts and minds. These two worlds are called, “the phenomenal world” together. Gods who Isadon had encountered so far were gods of “the phenomenal world.”

Behind “the phenomenal world,” there is “the potential world” where thoughts, life, even time and space do not exist. It is the world of only “vibrancy.” It is the eternal and perfect world where everything matches completely without any distortion. We live in “the phenomenal world”, so we cannot perceive “the potential world” with our thoughts. It is the world where even the concept of existence or non-existence does not exist, and which cannot be specified.

“Existence and non-existence” is the origin of everything in “the phenomenal world” and “the potential world.” It is also the universal system itself which is everywhere in everything.

Long ago, when “the phenomenal world” was created from “the potential world,” the Great God of the Divine called “Amano Minakanushino Omikami” emerged into the empty space. It is the Great God of the Earth called “Kunino Tokotachino Omikami” that emerged as the first god to create “the phenomenal world.” These two great gods express the divine mind of “existence and non-existence” which is the source of universal creation. Gods of “the phenomenal world” who Isadon had encountered so far were multitudinous gods who sealed away the Great God of the Earth.

 

I Exist Inside of You

Around that time, a Japanese drumming group which was led by people who gathered and learned about the mind under Isadon moved their operating base to Toei-cho, in Okumikawa. Since then, he became involved in the Hana Matsuri (meaning Flower Festival).

It was during Isadon’s 40th winter. One of his friends happened to bring a flyer which said, “Kumano is heaven in the world.” When he saw it, he strongly thought that he must go to Kumano somehow. Then, he happened to get to know people in Toei-cho, who visited Tamaki Shrine, the inner sanctuary in Kumano every month, so he began to visit there together with them. Also, he was asked to visit Ise Shrine after Kumano, by a man whose family traditionally played a role of the demon in an area of Toei-cho.

A few days before his departure, a brochure of a religious group was slipped in the shutter of his shop. When he looked at it, it said, “When people’s minds become beautiful, people begin to listen to the inner voice. It is Kunino Tokotachino Omikami.”  On the way to Kumano, he asked an accompanying woman who the God of Tamaki Shrine is, she answered, “It is Kunino Tokokachino Omikami.”

 

This was an interesting story. The following three shrines line up marvelously in a straight line from South West to North East toward the direction of Ushitora (North East): Tamaki Shrine which worships Kunino Tokotachino Omikami, the Great God of the Earth, Ise Shrine which worships Amaterasu Omikami, the God of the Sun, and Tsuki (Moon) Shrine which worships Seoritsu Princess who is a wife god of Amaterasu Omikami (Amaterasu Omikami is described as goddess in the myth, but in fact it is god). The ley line of the Earth, Sun and Moon is formed there.

Moreover, Mt. Fuji is located toward the direction of Ushitora as an extension of that, which fall in trajectory of each other at the beginning of the summer (May 3rd, Isadon’s birthday) according to the heliocentric calendar. In the Hana Matsuri, there is a scene where the Sakaki Demon who has the most important role and an old man have a dialogue. As one of his lines, the old man said, “Ise Tensho Kotaijin (meaning the God of the Sun), Kumano Gongen (meaning the God of Kumano), and Fuji Sengen (meaning the God of Mt. Fuji).” Therefore, the name of Fuji Sengen which had no connection with this festival at that time emerged already.

On the way to Kumano, iridescent clouds which were proof of fortuity emerged in the sky. Isadon visited Tamaki Shrine and stayed there at night. The next day, he stayed at Sakakibara Hot Spring. On the next morning, when he was waiting for the train to come to the platform of Sakakibara Hot Spring Station, and head out to Ise Shrine in the snowing weather, a sweet scent was drifting in the air suddenly.

“What is this scent?” He was about to ask above as always. Then, a word came up from underneath, around his abdomen somehow. When he asked why the message came from inside of himself although he always received it from above, an answer came back.

“I am inside of you.”

When he looked up, God existed above, too. However, he heard the voice from underneath (inside). Then, he realized that this is the existence of Kunino Tokotachino Omikami, the Great God of the Earth.

We receive food which is born from the soil to live. Therefore, we are all children of the earth. The soil is the earth, and the Great God of the Earth exists inside of each one of us who are its divided beings. If we polish our minds and transcend our ego, anyone will be able to hear the voice.

 

Let’s Go to the Foot of Mt. Fuji!

Isadon quit his job on his 40th birthday. He aimed to open a training center for the mind, taking care of his parents in his hometown. However, they did not welcome their son who quit his successful job and came back. No matter how hard he tried to do good things for his parents, he realized that if he pushed his thoughts to people with different values, it will just create unhappiness. So, he decided to leave his hometown. Then, what came up in his mind was Mt. Fuji where he received a message from God before.

“Let’s go to the foot of Mt. Fuji and create a village of Bodhisattvas.” Bodhisattvas mean an existence who consider the health of this world and others’ joy as their own. The village of Bodhisattvas is a place where people connect, help each other, share their joy beyond distinction of each other, and live together.

20 people who resonated with Isadon’s will gathered. Nobody was asked to go together. They felt, “I do not know exactly, but an important life will begin for sure.” Some vacated their houses, some overcame their parents’ strong opposition, and gathered with their own will.

On the spring equinox of March 21st, 1994, the gathering of the Konohana Family, the village of Bodhisattvas, began in this manner.

 

Invite Demons and Happiness into the House

There has been so much drama for 21 years since the foundation of the Konohana Family. People sensed that this would be an important way of life and became a member. However, each one of us were very immature, were trapped in our ego, and thought of only ourselves. So, we were far from Bodhisattvas.

Isadon treated each member patiently, preached the path of polishing their minds severely, gently and humorously with jokes, and helped them to transcend the frame of self. He himself became a demon and guided some members toward awakening, who were drowned in ego and became blind mentally.

It was exactly the severity of the Great God of the Earth (Kunino Tokotachino Omikami) who was hated by multitudinous gods a long time ago, and the true love to guide wandering people in the darkness toward light.

We do not remember exactly from when, but the Konohana Family began to hold the festival on the last day of winter on February 3rd during the coldest time of the year, where some essence of the Hana Matsuri in Toei-cho was incorporated. We scatter roasted soybeans, saying “Invite both demons and happiness into this house” with gratitude toward demons who shine light into the darkness of human minds, and teach the importance of moving toward the light.

Now, the number of Konohana Family members has become 80. Although each one of us is imperfect, we have tried to transcend the frame of ego and take the path. As a result, a way of life has been created where people with totally different backgrounds think of and support each other, share their minds, and live abundantly. Through such a warm bond, some “miracles” have occurred where people with mental diseases recovered their health one after another although neither doctors nor medicine could cure them.

Various incidents have occurred in the world from depression, suicides, economic collapse, terrorisms, natural disasters due to global warming, to the Great East Japan Earthquake. People have sought their own happiness and lived like “I want more and more.” That is why, the current society has been established. Various events which are occurring in the world give humans pain and suffering. However, through the challenges, doesn’t the earth give us some kind of message?

 

Fuji Sengen Konohana Matsuri

On December 21st, 2012 when the Mayan calendar marked the end of an era, we had a universally great event. The solar system where we live faced the “winter solstice of the galaxy” of 25800 years.

The winter solstice is the peak of darkness. The solar system which had experienced an increase of darkness entered the cycle of increasing light from the winter solstice. The fact that the amount of light increases means that something we could not see in the darkness will be revealed in the light and the truth will be revealed.

After a New Year began, “the first Fuji Sengen Konohana Matsuri” was held at the Konohana Family on February 3rd, 2013.

This was because a researcher on the Hana Matsuri asked the Konohana Family, which had held some essence of the festival, to take over the Hana Matsuri at the place of Fuji. Local people in Toei-cho taught us how to dance, play the Japanese bamboo flute and drum and how to make decorations of the site. The first Fuji Sengen Konohana Matsuri was held successfully as the place to understand the true meaning of this festival to express “being reborn and purified” and practice it in daily life. The energy of dancing people and gods who gathered from many places was integrated, and the entire site of the festival created a huge vortex. This became the exact place where the unity of gods and people was embodied.

The next year, 2014, during the morning of the festival, the Golden God of Ushitora who looked like the Sakaki Demon came to Isadon. The Golden God said, “With this day, the Golden God of Ushitora has become revealed.”

In such a situation, the Venerable Grandmother Nah Kin of the Mayan Solar Tradition received an inspiration as “Mt. Fuji is a place to connect with the center of the universe” and visited the Konohana Family. On July 26th, 2014, people of the Mayan Solar Tradition held the ceremony to celebrate the Mayan New Year with the Konohana Family in order to spread love to the world, using Mt. Fuji as an antenna. Interestingly, the Venerable Grandmother Nah Kin, who lives on the opposite side of the earth from us, had a vision where a pillar of light came down onto Mt. Fuji from the center of the galaxy; and the energy of love will spread to the entire earth during the same year that the Konohana Family was founded. Twenty years later, people who live under the same determination have met.

If Mt. Fuji is the mountain of divine wisdom which brings down the divine will, the Himalayas is the mountain of earth wisdom, where the will which sank from Mt. Fuji into magma comes out. Its cycle is about 6000 years, which is a quarter of the solar spiral around the galaxy, which has the winter solstice every 25800 years. In November, 2014, at the great historical turning point for the start of the 6000 year cycle, after the winter solstice of the galaxy, Isadon was invited to visit Hartola Village in the Himalayas and Auroville, which is the world’s biggest community in India. This is how he visited the mountain of earth wisdom.

 

Red Flame Turned into Gold and White Light

It had been 24 years since Buddha left Isadon. He had led this path alone, and had never whined. However, his wavering mind was burning like a red flame inside of him. It is the mind of “I just want people to become aware of the truth.” The flame of passion began to change from red into gold, and finally to white light through his stay in India.

At Auroville, Isadon encountered two spirits: the Mother, the founder of Auroville and Sri Aurobindo, her partner and a philosopher in India. Sri Aurobindo’s spirit, who Isadon encountered for the first time, led Isadon’ eyes toward various things. Whenever he looked at something, Aurobindo said, “I am there,” “I am there, too” and “I am everywhere.” When he thought this spirit exists in everything, words came from Aurobindo like, “I exist in everything, so I am non-existence.” Then, he sensed with intuition that this spirit is the Great God of the Earth, that is the Golden God of Ushitora.

Aurobindo’s spirit said, “You must know me. You have been with me all until now.” When Isadon asked, “You are also inside of me, aren’t you?” Aurobindo answered, “I am inside and outside of you and everywhere.”

The Mother’s spirit gently welcomed Isadon who had burnt himself with red flame like his elder sister. He suffered from duodenal ulcers before he travelled to India, so she said to him, “Come to me. I will heal your burnt body. From now on, I will help your role.” This means that the divine and the earth creates the world together.

Until now, although he told the truth, it did not spread as truth. Without the red flame of passion, he could not take this path. However, if he tells the truth from the bottom of his spirit from now on, it will spread surely. He does not have to burn the red flame anymore. Red flame will turn into gold, and finally into white light.

The era will begin when the divine leads the earth at last. Humans on earth understand and practice it. There is no egotistic will, but only the strength to follow the divine will because the truth is on the divine side, not on the side of ego.

In the Konohana Family’s 21-year path, “the divine law” and “the earth law” always have circulated. “The divine law” is the path of the Great God of the Divine (Amano Minakanushino Omikami) where the divine law comes down as inspiration. “The earth law” is the path of the Great God of the Earth (Kunino Tokotachino Omikami) where humans accumulate their experiences on earth and go up the stairs toward the divine.  What these two Great Gods’ minds manifest is the source of universal creation, “existence and non-existence.” We were all there originally, and now are taking a journey to go back to one again. It is just like the screw of a music box is creating music and returning to its original state.

Isadon says as follows:

Someday, people who govern this nation will come here and ask me. “We have tried to make a truly prosperous nation, but it has not worked well at all. How can we guide this nation rightly?” Then, I will answer like this. “It is not to create a structure or system. Please look at the minds of people who live here. When people can live with a mind like this, the nation will become truly abundant.”

 

Become Aware of the Truth and True Joy

On January 31st, 2015, the 3rd Fuji Sengen Konohana Matsuri was held, and the Golden God who was represented through a golden demon mask and a white costume emerged. While the Sakaki Demon mask was produced originally here in order to breathe life into it, the inspiration of creating a golden mask came up to Isadon suddenly, which was unprecedented in the tradition of the Hana Matsuri in Toei-cho. The finished mask was not the Sakaki Demon mask anymore, but the Golden God of Ushitora. Therefore, a performance with the Golden God of Ushitora, who was revealed to Isadon, emerged and was incorporated. In this manner, a new life was breathed into this festival which expresses “being reborn and purified.”

A few days before the festival, a soccer ball sized light sphere came down onto  sleeping Isadon at dawn. He wondered, “What is it?” and watched the light sphere which slowly came down from the ceiling. Then, two arms extended from it and the ball began to sing, “I am happy and joyful!” shaking both arms.

Isadon thought, “This is the figure of multitudinous gods who follow the Golden God of Ushitora.” A long time ago, multitudinous gods hated polishing their minds and sealed the Golden God. However, now they are aware of the truth and enjoy the true joy. This is the figure of people who just dance from the bottom of their spirits, become freed from their attached ego, and come back to one.

Purified and Dance Together,
a Happy and Joyful World will Begin ―

Why Do People Become Sick?
A Medical Revolution Which will Not Need
Drugs or Hospitals Anymore

Welcome to the Earth!

 The boundless and infinite expansion of the universe. The earth where we live is a really tiny existence within it. However, this tiny planet is a miraculous one out of all miracles in the whole universe. No matter how hard humans explore the universe, gathering the most advanced technology and wisdom, they cannot find life. On the other hand, the earth is like a sea of lives! All kinds of lives from animals, plants to invisible microorganisms link with each other and circulate infinitely, and create a symphony of majestic life for the global ecosystem.
Now, let’s look at how this life network exists!

Blood Connects Everything

Our human body is a collectivity of complicated and diverse functions, consisting of about 60 trillion cells. It is the blood that connects throughout the body. The diameter of the finest part is invisibly fine like less than one hundredth of a millimeter. Connecting all blood which spreads like a network from the crown to the toe, it is said that it becomes two and a half the length of the periphery of the earth. Blood runs though vessels which circulate so thoroughly that it continues to be provided throughout the body.

It is the heart, the center of all organs which sends out the blood to the entire body. In Japanese, the heart (心臓) is literally the organ (臓) of the mind (心). When our hearts ripple and throb, they spread the state through the blood to the entire body instantly, and affects our actions. The blood carries the mind. If an unbalanced lifestyle pollutes the blood, the pollution spreads throughout the body. An unbalanced mind is the cause of an unbalanced lifestyle, and it pollutes the entire body. The unclean blood gives burden to other organs, and brings problems. If the blood vessels clog up due to pollution, the blood cannot run through there and comes to decay.

Blood has two types of pollution: physical pollution which can be detected by medical examination and a spiritual one which cannot be expressed with numeric value. Either way, the cause is the mind. When people live with a beautiful mind every day and their blood circulates throughout the body without any stagnation, they can be always healthy.

 

Now, let’s expand our viewpoints a little bit. When 60 trillion cells gather and form one human life, a society where humans gather and create is also one life. Then, what would be the blood of society? It is money which connects throughout a society and circulates. Money also carries the human mind. It can carry consideration and gratitude or carry anxiety and desires and inhibit the flow. Now, if money does not spread throughout a society, and stays in specific places, various issues will occur. If the blood of money does not circulate, a society itself will become sick.

 

Let’s expand our viewpoint more. The earth which consists of such a human society and other various lives is also one life. Then, what would be the blood of the earth?

It would be the Water. Water is the source of all lives. The water which comes down on earth as rain flows throughout the earth, becomes a river, pours into the ocean, circulates throughout the world, rises up to the sky, becomes a cloud, and becomes rain again. It runs through the body of humans and other lives, and circulates everywhere on this planet. Water connects our lives, however now water pollution has spread due to an artificial production of micro plastics. They are so invisibly fine that we cannot collect them and they have spread gradually, beginning to bring a serious issue on earth. The only way to purify such an invisible pollution is through an invisible spiritual power, which is the human mind.

Then, let’s expand our viewpoint even more. If the solar system which consists of the sun, nine planets including the earth, and numerous small celestial bodies is also one life, what would be the blood of the solar system which connects everything?

“Always Look Towards Me”

 The Heart of the Solar System, the Sun

All life activities have the mind. The heart which is in the center of all, sends out the mind to the entire body, which creates our actions and our life. In the same way, the solar system follows the mind of the sun at the center, and all the stars move around it. It is the solar magnetic field that delivers the mind of the sun to the whole.

unnamed

Planets describe their original orbits, interlock with each other, share time, and continue to move forward along with the sun in the infinite universe. In such complicated motions, the morning and night come upon earth every day as promised; and so do the spring, summer, autumn and winter every year. It is because the solar magnetic field carries the mind of the sun, and connects the earth and the other planets as one life activity in the network of the solar system.

The sun shines light on earth, gives heat, creates winds, circulates water, which is the blood of the earth, and nurtures life.The sun is the heart of the solar system and at the same time, it is the heart of the earth. It sends out orders to the whole solar system, interlocks stars, and shows the direction to earth. When human minds deviate from it and a problem occurs, the sun creates natural disasters in order to tell its will to the earth, and sends a message to “Improve such an attitude” to us. Everything from the era which proceeds on earth to the way of our human life is under the solar guidance.

unnamed-3

Then, if the solar system is one life, there is an even bigger majestic life which includes everything in the world, making the solar system just a cell. Yes, it is the universe. Now, what would be the blood of the universe? What connects and circulates all, and ties the whole universe as one life? It is the spirit, the universal mind. Everything from humans who live on earth to the sun which guides the earth is under the universal mind, and is given life in the great network.

The Most Visible State – the Body

The bigger the scale of life expands from humans, a society, the earth, the solar system to the universe, the more invisible and spiritual the blood which circulates in it becomes. On the contrary, the smaller and closer matters become, the more visible, dense and physical they become. This world exists under the fractal structure where everything from big matters to small ones is based on the same system. Even in a smaller scale than the human body, there are roles of the blood. The smaller the scale becomes than the human body, the more invisible and spiritual it becomes again. Therefore, the human body is the structure which manifests the state of the mind in the most visible manner.

The World Which Becomes More Chaotic When It is Cured More

The blood is a state of mind itself. So, the mind can pollute or purify the blood. When the mind is beautiful, the blood flows throughout the body normally, the body is healthy and people live a good life. If the blood becomes polluted and we become sick, diseases teach distortions of our minds through symptoms. Therefore, they give us a chance to reflect on ourselves and correct the state of our minds.

However, in the modern era, medical technology has advanced and only symptoms have been cured, without having relevance with the mind. The medical purpose has become only to cure diseases and extend life, and people do not question the quality of life. Although the mind has the cause, if people do not correct it and deal with only symptoms, the mind surely brings other problems to a different aspect in life. However, people just consider, “Diseases are bad,” “A long life is good” and came to depend on medical treatment more and more without facing their own minds which have created diseases. As a result, the more diseases become cured, the more chaotic world they spread.

It is the same situation with terrorism which cannot cease in the world. A society creates terrorism, so we who create such a society are responsible for them. However, people look at not the fundamental cause but the superficial symptoms, consider terrorism as bad, and try to suppress them desperately. But, the more people try to suppress only symptoms, ignoring the fundamental cause, the bigger the contradictions become. Therefore, they will reappear somewhere for sure, and never settle.

Now, the national medical expenditure in Japan (what becomes the target of the health insurance treatment) is 40 trillion yen in total annually. This means a person uses 314,000 yen for medical treatment annually on average, which is a profitable industry. In the modern society where people seek only numbers, the profits of the medical industry are posted as GDP. If the number rises up, some people become happy, saying, “the economy has become activated.” However, is it truly a blessing? In order to measure the fullness of social welfare, the number of doctors and hospital beds is compared, and it is considered that the more shows a richer society with excellent welfare service. However, a society which needs such medical treatment is far from health.

The Importance of Death

Originally, everything links with each other, circulates and is healthy in this world. In such a state, diseases teach us that our minds have deviated from their original circulation. They occur so that we can learn the system of this world and the meaning of life through correcting it. Therefore, if we understand the structure, they do not need to occur anymore. However, modern society has continued to develop with diseases and problems existing. At many sites for medical treatment, doctors repeatedly give treatment to suppress symptoms based on examination data and knowledge, and do not cure diseases fundamentally. Moreover, hospitals and drug companies gain profits due to the existence of diseases. The current society is managed based on such unnecessary matters. Then, are there any specific bad people there? The whole society is the cause and each one of us who creates such a society is responsible for that.

Some time ago when medical treatment did not advance this much, people faced their lives every day, felt a sense of life, and returned their lives with determination when they were close to death. A sense of life means a state where peoples’ consciousness always communicates with the life network they belong to, and their intuition is sharpened to sense the core mind at the center in this network. However, modern people depend on medical treatment with the sole purpose of living long, which clouds the sense of life, where people lose the intuition to sense what is important in their lives. In addition, they came to feel fear about losing their lives. However, no matter how much we do not want to die, people die for sure. It is an absolute truth which is given equally to everyone.

When we sharpen a sense of life, face our minds every day, and live seriously, we come to experience a sense of great fulfillment just by living. When people reach such a mental state, determination to be ready to return their lives anytime emerges naturally, they can live fully, die a natural death, and depart with a sense of accomplishment. The modern medical treatment values only making patients live. However, our life is completed with death, so there is an importance in death.

The Miracle of All Miracles

We humans were born on earth with a body, and look at only visible physical matters. When we become sick, we try to cure our body somehow. However, human nature is not the physical body but spirituality.

Each human soul has a unique karma (=individuality). However, without the body, no matter how much distortions human souls have, they will not appear as phenomena. So, we cannot realize them. Then, we were given a physical body as a container for our soul, and given the path to know what kind of individuality we have through phenomena, and correct distortions if there are any. That is, living on earth means we can change. Even if we do not correct our minds and cure only the physical body, we cannot carry the physical state after we die. In a state without the body, no matter how distorted the mind is, we cannot correct it and souls cannot grow up.

The earth is a miraculous planet which is full of lives in the infinite universe. We live with the form of a body, learn the system of this world through various phenomena which we encounter in our lives, and can evolve our souls. This is the purpose of the earth, and the reason why we were born on this planet.

Please look at your body carefully – 60 trillion cells, blood vessels with two and a half the periphery of the earth, and a brain whose full function is said to be still sleeping at 90%. The human body is a masterpiece of life, which is full of mysteries beyond human wisdom. Also, humans cannot live alone. The sun, water, air, earth and wind–the divine blessings which we cannot create by ourselves nurture our lives. Furthermore, stars in the universe and numerous lives weave the network, we circulate our lives in it and exist here and now. How miraculous is it? In such a miracle, it is the miracle of all miracles that each one of 7 billion people on earth is given a unique individuality and lives only in this one life and has not existed previously, or will again in the future.

When humans, who are given such a precious individuality, connect with each other and establish one life network, the possibility of humanity will expand infinitely. When each one of us becomes aware of such a consciousness, the more we connect with each other, the more abundant we become. This is the true figure of this world.

The World is Originally Healthy

Every single person is given a life in the great life network, and plays their original role which nobody else can replace. However, people think of only themselves and perceive things only with their viewpoints. So, they came to misunderstand that they live with their own power, and have forgotten that their lives are supported by many of other existences. Their bodies exist in this network, but their consciousness has deviated from its connection and does not circulate anymore, which creates stagnation and problems. Such a state has occurred everywhere in modern society.

Originally, it is impossible for an existence not to contribute to other lives in the natural world. When plants grow up, they become food for insects and animals. When they finish their lives and return to the soil, they become food for microorganisms and nutrients for the next life. In the same way, it is the figure of nature that life activities always support other lives, link with each other infinitely, and continue to circulate.

There is the word in Japanese. The Chinese character of “Hataraku(働)” is written as “a person (人) moves (動).” When a person moves, he/she lives. Also, “Hataraku” means “make others (Hata) live easily (raku).” It is to contribute to other lives. Therefore, living itself is contributing to other lives. If someone becomes sick in this network, stagnation emerges and he/she cannot “Hataraku” for everyone else anymore.  Our health has a responsibility to play a role for the whole and support other lives. In the modern era, many people seek health for individual purposes, which is the reverse attitude from the original figure. It is the attitude of humans living in the 21st century to understand this fine life structure and live, in order to make a breakthrough in the stagnation of the modern society.

 

The Sun Teaches Us

Now, various issues are occurring in the world. For example, do you think terrorism, which occurs somewhere in distant countries, has nothing to do with you? Do you think natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons are natural wonders which humans cannot do anything about?

The earth where we live is under a solar guidance. The sun always continues to send its mind. When humans deviate from it, it creates appropriate phenomena on earth, and sends a message to “Realize what you have done.” Only when people know the reality of what is happening in the world, and can see what kind of influence they have brought here, they can begin to take the path of change. Diseases also manifest contradictions within us as phenomena. Therefore, if we just depend on medical treatment to cure only symptoms, we cannot realize the true meaning. That is why, the era has begun when each one of us sharpens our sense of life and finds out what the truth is by ourselves. In the past, people have sought physical wealth, and considered only an expansion of medical treatment and economy as a good matter. However, we have entered the era when we select only what is truly necessary and eliminate what is unnecessary. It might be painful temporarily due to the big distortions of the world. However, there will be a world where we can feel life itself is full of abundance, ahead of us.

There is a flow in this world. When we stop looking at only the surface of events and put our spiritual eyes behind it, we will be able to see a big flow which always continues to flow behind all events eternally. If we move away from our own positions and get on the flow, various things link with each other marvelously and things go swimmingly. Moreover, a world will emerge which we cannot imagine when we try to achieve something by our own power. In such a flow, unnecessary matters will be eliminated naturally, infinite possibilities which are sleeping within humans will blossom, and various individualities echo and connect with each other and circulate beautifully. This will be a world full of joy through dynamic lives, which is far beyond individual satisfaction.

Therefore, the sun continues to send its mind to us.
It is telling us,
“Always look towards me so that you can be beautiful and happy,
you can think of each other and connect with everyone, and
the world can be abundant.”

unnamed-7Pluto is an invisibly small existence, but it exists in the most outer position of the solar system, it describes the unique elliptical orbit, and carries the orders of the outer universe into the solar system. It is a planet which interacts with the universal spirit. In 2006, its size did not meet the standard of a planet, so it came to be classified as a dwarf planet. However, in this newsletter, it is considered equally with the other eight planets of the solar system, as one to play an invisibly important role.


The Medical Treatment is Inside of YOU

A life is a story. People do not become sick suddenly. They have taken a mental transition to reach there for sure. As “disease (病気)” is written as “energy (気) is sick (病)” in Japanese, the cause of disease is not in the physical body, but in the stagnation of the mind (energy). When life balance is lost and the mind does not echo with the body, diseases appear at the weakest part. If the balance of the soil of a field and its crops collapse, insects emerge and try to adjust it. In the same way, diseases are also a kind of self-purification to return unbalance to an original state. Originally, everything circulates beautifully and is healthy in this world. When we trace the process of how stagnation emerges and people became sick, and return to an original state, we can become healthy again instantly. It is the “original (元) energy (気),” that is “health (元気).”

The following letter (医) shows the origin of the Chinese character for “medical treatment.” Originally, the letter “医” was the combination of two parts to show the mind and the body. From the expressions such as “priestess” and “gratitude” which show the mind, we can see that people had an attitude to follow something greater than themselves, receive orders, and correct energy as medical treatment. However, now the mind has disappeared from the letter “医”. Then, the parts to show the Oriental physical medical treatment and nutritional therapy have disappeared. Finally, only the part to show surgical treatment remains as the current letter “医”.

Originally, medical treatment is a work to unlock the life system which consists of the microcosm of the body, which requires an analysis of the energy which flows throughout the body, and take a balance of the mind and body. By sharpening the sense of life and communicating with the body, which is a mandala of complicated lives, we can awaken our spiritual eyes. That is, we follow the great flow of this world which supports our lives, and live.

People with various diseases visit the Konohana Family. We ask them what kind of life they have lived until now, and analyze the mechanism of how diseases emerge. There is a reason why people become sick. When people realize it, the symptoms do not need to exist anymore. Then, if a good energy flows throughout the body by realizing it, it heals unhealthy cells and diseases will be cured naturally.

This is not a place where someone cures someone else, but a place where the sick people themselves understand the system of this world and return to the original energy. Unknown abilities which humans have not been aware of are hidden within us. If our traditional way of living has created diseases, being given a burden of diseases means a chance to break the traditional frame, and step into a new world. When you become aware of this, infinite possibilities which are sleeping inside of you bloom, the scale of life expands and you will live in a bigger world.

 

The medical treatment is inside of YOU, because it is YOU that create such diseases. It is not given from outside like drugs, so there is no side effect. Originally, there is the law of life which is the exquisite universal law within us. When we realize this, a world will emerge where each one of us learns only from events which we encounter in our daily life, guide ourselves into health, and neither drugs nor hospitals become necessary. This will be the medical treatment of the 21st century.

“The Awakening of Humans Living in the 21st Century Ⅲ”

The Message from Isadon

Every time we offer a graduation concert to care guests, Isadon, a main coordinator of the natural therapy program, gives them a message for their departure toward a new life. This time, his message was sent out not only to T-san, but also to the whole of humanity and the universe.

When T-san came to the Konohana Family to take the natural therapy program, she had desires to control her life as she liked. During the first consultation, I said to her, “that is an expression of the era from my viewpoint.” However, many people have not realized this yet. The reason why the Konohana Family has been practicing this kind of lifestyle is not because we want to live like this. When the era shifts, a role to show this lifestyle as a model for a new era was given to us, and that is way we have been playing such a role. It cannot be understood from a viewpoint to gratify individual desires.

A terrorist attack occurred in Bangladesh on July 1st. Not only that, many terrorist attacks have occurred everywhere in the world such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia between July 1st – 5th. It is said that many of them were the work of Muslims or terrorists who have received Islamic influence. However, is it true?

Let me pick up a perspective. The Japanese media have broadcast that the Japanese victims of that terrorist attack in Bangladesh were socially great people who have contributed to developing countries very hard. I do not mean to criticize that, but I have another perspective. The purpose for support by the Japanese NGOs in developing countries is business. Also at this time, the people who were involved in companies under the support of JICA made a project to organize the traffic network in Dhaka. Surely, they and local people would have hoped that Bangladesh will become a rich country with an organized traffic network like Japan. It is merely financial and physical abundance.

I have watched TV programs not only about international news but also about Japan for the past few days. In Japan, about 30000 people have committed suicide every year in the past 10 plus years. In addition, care for elderly people has become a big issue. Although there are so many people in the world, many people die alone. More shockingly, many people have killed their elderly family who needed care, especially recently. That is, people take care of their elderly family and end up killing them. Japan is a financially developed country, but in a sense, it has prioritized money and materialism too much. At the same time, the reality is that Japan has a very high poverty rate. On top of that, Japan has the longest “unhealthy lifetime” which is the period from sickness to death, among all the developed countries.

I believe that the Konohana Family’s lifestyle itself is a way to be able to solve various issues in the modern era. When I was watching the program about the murder of elderly family members who needed care, I thought the elderly members in the Konohana Family will not encounter such a situation. They are given an appropriate role and live very vividly the way they are. Then, I have become convinced of the importance of our lifestyle. It might be difficult to see it if people see it superficially, but I have reaffirmed that lots of solutions are everywhere throughout this lifestyle in order to face a new era.

When T-san visited the Konohana Family and had the first consultation, I said to her, “Your symptoms express the era.” Actually, all the phenomena which we encounter in our life express the era. Everything, good and bad creates the era. We can keep what is considered good the way it is. However, as for events which we feel uncomfortable, unless we understand their meanings well, and utilize them in our life, more negative eras will be created. Only when people realize that light exists on the opposite side of negativity, can they return to the light anytime.

I saw light inside of T-san through taking care of her pathological symptoms. Her excellence was of the 20th century type, and she has utilized it in a Western way. As a result, this has given so many contradictions and stress to her body and mind. With this, she cannot be a model for a new society. Therefore, I wanted her to overcome it and become light for many people in a similar situation as hers. Originally, everyone is precious and excellent, so I always want every single person to utilize it in a new era.

The era is already over when some excellent people lead the rest. I have realized this, so I have maintained the Konohana Family so far. Now, I am taking this path together with people who have resonated with it. The human value shown in the 21st century has not been known fully in the world yet. So, I want T-san to become a person who spreads this value together on earth from now on. Right now, I am talking to about 100 people here, but I am spiritually talking to any existence, being aware of the whole humanity, the earth, and the universe itself. That is because the era has arrived when this value will spread finally.

Therefore, the activities of the Konohana Family is not for anyone. The time has arrived when the universe requests it, and we should express it naturally. New messengers emerge when the era shifts greatly over the course of human history. They are diverse, like messengers for destruction or to show a new order. We can see this in the current era through various phenomena.

T-san’s severe case of depression appeared in order to create a new era. However, if she cannot see its depth, and she considers her symptoms just as a disease, there is just one patient with depression in the world.

Also now, it seems like the whole human society has been depressed, and the cause of depression exists everywhere in Japan, the US, Europe, and the Middle East. The earth has physical symptoms such as environmental destruction, and its life force is expressing depression as contradictions toward it as our human body does. As a matter of fact, the autonomic nerve of the solar system is the Sun. However, now that the sunspots are functioning abnormally, the activities of the earth’s magma have been abnormal.

In this manner, the era moves along with the planetary movements. The era when we humans live along with the era and planetary movements will be expressed in this millennium from 2000 to 3000.

The 21st century is the era when humans become aware of this truth. Humans have considered gratifying their own desires as abundance and sought happiness in an extension of that. All the social components such as politics, economy, religions, education, and medical treatment have been developed under such a value. That is why, no matter what conventional method humans use, they are facing a situation where they cannot find a solution anymore.

What would be a breakthrough for this? The answer exists in that humans will realize how the universal structure is and what relationship humans have with the universe. In fact, all the information pertaining to these subjects has been sleeping inside of us. However, if we are tainted by our ego, we cannot wake up from there. This is a condition where individuals are trapped by the “dictator” of ego.

Are we going to be trapped in the small “dictator” of our own ego, and bring contradictions into this world without living in harmony with other people? Or, are we going to learn such silliness, remove the frame of ego, and release ourselves toward the great “dictator” of the universal law?

Becoming aware of this truth is the hurdle given to each one of us who lives in the 21st century. If we release ourselves from our ego, we will become the universe itself. When we shift from the era of physical-like, two-dimensional thinking in the 20th century into the three-dimensional one, the 90% of our brain which has been asleep for such a long time will become utilized finally. This is a world which cannot be interpreted by the conventional two-dimensional thinking based on profit and loss, or good and bad. When we come to utilize our three-dimensional brain, extremely extraordinary ideas will come out. Moreover, even if we are on earth, we will be able to understand the universal reality instantly. On top of that, the flow of things will become dramatically smooth, and truth will come out. This is the society where humans living in the 21st century create.

Truth is not gained based on knowledge. Truth is what comes out to people who are able to see what humans should originally see, and is expressed in their way of life. And every one of us has a potential to receive it. Now, the time has arrived when the earth takes a new step into the universe along with human awakening.
