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

T-san’s Awakening Story

After T-san read her letter to the Konohana Family members during her graduation concert, her supporter, Yoko shared “T-san’s awakening story,” reflecting on her four month stay here.

From the universal viewpoint, when the winter solstice of the galaxy arrived on December 21st, 2012, and it had been half year since then, an incident which drastically shifted the direction of T-san’s life happened to her in June, 2013. “All of a sudden, my invisible protective shield was gone, and all my inner pains were flooding out. I became very suicidal. At the same time, both a sacred existence who gave me great wisdom and a monstrous existence who tried to attack me started to appear.” For her, who had contributed internationally as a lawyer and a social entrepreneur, this incident became a turning point for her spiritual awakening. However, she was diagnosed as the most severe form of depression at a psychiatric clinic in Taiwan, and had been suffering from sleeping disorder, low energy and no motivation to live on for 3 years since then. Also, she had various physical symptoms such as sympathetic disorder, hormone disorder, liver malfunction, allergies and high risk of cancer. In such a situation, she found out about the Konohana Family on the internet, and then visited us for the first time on June 7th. At the first consultation with Isadon, a main coordinator of the natural therapy program, he said to her, “Your contradictions of mental energy have created your current condition, but in fact, the era is requesting your symptoms.” Then, when he explained that a 248 year cycle of Pluto came to an end in 2008, she said with excitement, “That is why I quit my job of a lawyer!” Moreover, she listened to his analysis about her personality and life mission based on the karma, heliocentric calendar, and the Katakamuna reading, and became so impressed, saying, “Today is a life-changing day for me! It is an eye-opening awareness that my excellence was analyzed as the 20th century type!” In this manner, she decided to take the natural therapy program.

Before she came here, she could not fall asleep till the dawn. However, since she came here, she was able to fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning naturally, which was a good surprise for her. Also, she felt her body was purified and cleaned rapidly even for the first week, and said, “Healthy food here is very effective for my detox and I feel I have been physically nourished by everyone. But mentally, I am still unstable and feel very nervous.”

A week passed and Isadon told her as follows at the beginning of the consultation after the first week. “In terms of the consultation for care guests, I usually focus on contents to overcome their pathological conditions. However, in your case, considering how you are going to contribute to society in the future, your current physical symptoms are not a big issue for me. In a sense, facing a turning point means entering a new world. Therefore, once you transcend it, you do not have to originally think of the past. Actually, this the first case of the natural therapy program for us. Once your spirit becomes awakened, you will be able to overcome all physical symptoms automatically. When you recover confidence in your health, you will begin to live with a new consciousness.” Then, the rest of the consultation became the time for Isadon to answer some questions from her about the divine, the system of this world, and human ego. Two hours passed so quickly. At the end of the consultation, when he looked at her heliocentric calendar again, he said to her, “In your heliocentric calendar, your tendency that you have certain thoughts, but cannot take actions, or a need to nurture your feminine energy appear. Please try to know and improve your personality by continuing to write a journal next week, too. Proper changes appear with proper reflection.” This is how a substantial consultation ended.

After she entered the second week, her mental tendencies and emotions based on her past trauma began to appear obviously. She said, “The environment here is great, but when everyone is nice to me, I feel I do not deserve it and feel suicidal. Since I came here, I have been relatively stable. But, before I came here, I cried every day. I cried this morning, too. I am scared of breaking my own frame.” In such a situation, she decided to perform in front of everyone at the birthday party held on June 17th, in order to break the frame that she has to be perfect in front of everyone. So, she was trying to transcend her own frame. Also, from her excellence and competitive spirit, she felt angry at Isadon’s comments on her journal. Later, she gained an awareness like, “Everyone feels his great love, but I cannot feel it due to my filter. Now, I came to understand what he always told me through his comments was to see things beyond my frame.”

Then, Isadon told her as follows at the consultation after the second week. “It has been two weeks and you came to understand your tendencies quite well. However, you have a pattern to see things through your emotions, and you cannot remove it yet. At the first consultation, I told you if this program proceeds smoothly, your high risk of cancer will be solved naturally. As a matter of fact, becoming emotional creates a tendency of cancer. I was looking forward to today’s time with you including that, because I thought the timing has finally arrived to tell you this.” Then, just like the previous consultation, she asked him about human ego and free will, and a high-dimensional stories were withdrawn from Isadon. At the end of the consultation, he said to her, “You have withdrawn stories that I wanted to talk about, as always. Therefore, if you utilize such a high consciousness in the coming era, you will play a great role for society and other people. However, such a person is taking the natural therapy program here. In fact, you should not be interested just in yourself. I am sure it is very meaningful to tell you this today, on June 21st, 2016, the day of the summer solstice. Today is a very important day for the whole humanity. You have experienced in knowing yourself over two weeks, so I would like you to live as a new version of you with today as a great turning point. Therefore, please continue to write a journal to face yourself and become aware of your true role next week, too.” In this way, another fulfilling one hour and a half consultation ended.

However, she could not write a journal, feeling like “I have many thoughts, but if I write about something negative, I can tell Isadon will make comments like I am trapped in my ego. I want to withdraw important stories from him, so I do not know what to write,” “I cannot understand why he is 100 % right and I am always wrong.” While she could not work on facing herself well, the next consultation day arrived.

The consultation after the third week was different from the previous ones, and ended only after 20 minutes. Isadon said to her, “When I reflected past three weeks, you are a very unique care guest. It has been a great experience for me, too. However, I think you have understood my intention to support you in the end, but in fact, you should have understood it more easily. This means your high abilities and tendencies caused extra time. At the beginning of the program, you were trapped in your past, and now you are trapped in your current state. Therefore, you cannot shift to a future-oriented manner. If you spend the fourth week with such a way of thinking, I can announce your graduation from this program at the next consultation.” Then, he asked her about her reflection over three weeks. She answered, “I am a Chinese person with a Western thinking. Considering the history of Hong Kong and China, I am afraid of a dictator.” Before she finished her talk, Isadon interrupted it and told her as follows.

“From my perspective, this world is very autocratic. I am not talking about the human society, but the absolute existence of the universal law operates this world. We were created from there and operated by such a law. Unless you understand this, it will take extra time for our interactions. That is why I have interrupted your talk and am telling you this right now. As you said, the history of Hong Kong and China, your Western thinking and your personal relationship with your family occur only because you divide things into pieces and focus on partial matters. If you remove the factor for your consciousness to concentrate on them, such a matter will not happen to you. If you come to see things without limiting this world, you will be able to release yourself from various symptoms and reasons why you came here to take the natural therapy program, and live a life to contribute to this world the most. So, I would like you to shift to a direction to express your excellence positively in your life because you are originally excellent, without your personal matters and partial viewpoints next week.”

It was just before the consultation after the fourth week, when she finally came to face herself seriously and was able to reflect on her emotions and thoughts with an objective viewpoint. Before she came here, she already decided to stay here for a month. So, this consultation became the final one during her stay. Isadon told her as follows. “I sometimes wondered if you can graduate from this program in the middle of your stay. As its reasons, first you have many past traumas and then you are socially smart. These two factors became hurdles for your improvement. However, what I have realized through interactions with you in the process is that you have expressed your negativity very honestly. In any situation, honesty is the biggest condition for improvement. In an extension of that, your excellence have worked successfully. Even if you deny things first, you came to accept the message or intention behind them immediately. This is not like a mere learning to take in new knowledge. You have the importance of what I have said inside of you originally. Therefore, no matter how strongly your past traumas affected you, you were able to transcend them theoretically with your excellence and in the way where you were trying to remember from your inner self. As the original purpose, I have just supported you, and you did become aware of the truth within yourself. In addition, you have utilized all the lessons you have learned in various places. As a result, you have reached your current state. So, we would like to have a graduation concert for you tomorrow night and celebrate your graduation with everyone!”

In this manner, she successfully graduated from the natural therapy program after four weeks of her stay here. From the general medical treatment, she was a really difficult case. Therefore, now that she is going to spread her own case to the world, she is full of hope of expressing her true self from now on. “For the first week of my stay here, I was in an old state and felt like I cannot do everything I want to do. But now, I can feel I am connecting with my bigger self. It is the light of my hope.”

Her new life has just begun with the opening of the era of light.

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

The Letter from T-san to the Konohana Family

A 37-year-old lady who was born in Hong Kong, and lives in Taiwan now visited the Konohana Family for the first time on June 7th, 2016 in order to overcome a severe case of depression. After she took the natural therapy program for four weeks, she successfully graduated from the program. Then, her graduation concert was held on July 5th. During the concert, she read the following thank you letter to the Konohana Family members.

Dear everyone

I can’t believe the day to pack has come. I have always wanted to thank you all for taking me in, and now it seems to be the good chance for me to tell you how much my time with the family means to me.

3 years ago, I had a bizarre spiritual awakening event. Doctors couldn’t explain my conditions and simply told me I had the most severe form of depression and recommended hospitalization. I didn’t take the prescribed drugs, but instead I had started on my spiritual journey.

I studied spirituality in Taiwan, Hawaii and India. Spiritually I felt I have released a lot of old pains and beliefs. I was no longer weeping and shaking for no reason on a daily basis.

But my health continued to decline. I have suffered sleeping disorders for 3 years. I usually couldn’t fall asleep until I am completely exhausted at 6 am. I felt like all my energy was taken to do something in my body and I have very little energy left to get on with life. I take on a new kind of pain and illness every 3 months.

After I booked the tickets to come to Konohana, I received a detailed medical report. It tells me that my sympathetic was extremely active and therefore couldn’t sleep. My entire body system has been on extreme defense for three years and my health is facing a breakdown. I have become allergic to a long list of food and my liver cannot process toxins well. In view of the above, I am at high risk of cancer. I now have benevolent lumps, but it might escalate to malignant in less than a year given my body conditions.

I was a bit shocked by the report. But I felt relatively calm because I already booked tickets to Konohana. I somehow have a gut feeling that everything is going to be okay once I got here.

Before I came I only knew Konohana is an Eco-village, I didn’t know that it’s a spiritual community. After I got here I knew immediately that I came here by divine calling because I saw a lot of divine synchronicities.

Living here I feel that Konohana’s strongest feature as a spiritual community is the implementation of spiritual principles and beliefs to the finest details in life. That’s miraculous and very rare on Earth.

At first when I looked at Konohana as a family, I love it but I feel I can’t get used to all the group-living principles as I am so used to individual freedom. But with time I realize everyone is committed to their mission on Earth and work on their training of shedding ego. Then I realize Konohana family is probably the family of disciplinants that has the most fun on Earth.

I have been lucky to receive the guidance of Isadon. I get a lot of help and my doubts cleared by the English-speaking members Yoko, Michiyo and Tomoko. With Yoko, she demonstrated to me a life style without ego. We share the same room so I see how she walks her talk every single day. She doesn’t spend any time in doubt or negativity. She gives full power to every single task that falls on her plate. I have never seen anyone with her high energy dedication before.

I am also very grateful to two members who made a great impact on me:

Yasuedon is like an eternal girl who overflows with sweetness and innocence. She shows me a life with great trust in the Divine and therefore free of worried. She always goes out of her way to give me kindness.

Yajio san is a person that I feel I have the most similar character with. He looks like the least likely person to enjoy a group life. He probably had to overcome bigger challenges than I do but he made it. His story and determination gave me a lot of courage.

During my journal exercise with Isadon, I feel that I am challenged to put all spiritual knowledge I know to thorough implementation. Even though I have made progress in the past 3 years, I realize I still hold on to a major viewpoint that I have not been willing to let go:- due to my childhood experience, I see the world as a dangerous place. When certain events happen, all my old wounds and pains would come up to form a strong negative emotion. I would then use my mind to form a great set of reasoning to defend myself, run away or attack the other.

Then it became crystal clear to me that my body is reflecting exactly that. My body dedicated all its energy to defense. It kept being on high alert for three years that I couldn’t fall asleep unless I am absolutely exhausted. It attacks harmless substance and creates battlefields everywhere in my body. That’s why I have so many illnesses, inflammation and pain everywhere that I cannot live a normal life.

I am happy to report that during my one month here, I can fall asleep on most of the nights. Sometimes I even fall asleep in the afternoon. I feel like a warrior that has been fighting a three-year war finally getting all the sleep that was lost.

I feel like an ill and weak cell that is surrounded by a group of healthy cells. Every day I eat the food and have all aspects of my life directly supported by everyday hard work of all the members. I have never been more honored and happy to wash dishes, peel potatoes, sort onions and remove weed, because it’s honorable work and makes me part of the family.

Konohana Family is like a signal tower under the Fuji Mountain. While you may not know it, you are spreading a ripple effect of love and evolved consciousness to the world.

Please accept the cordial gratitude from me. Thank you Isadon for building this family. Thank you all for being the brave souls of this era.

The Time When Everyone Lives as a Specialist in Exploring Spirituality

Have you ever heard of Yuzuru Hanyu? He is a 21-year-old Japanese male figure skater and currently ranks at the top in the world. He got a gold medal in the 2014 Winter Olympics, and amazingly marked the world record of 330.43 in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Finals; held in Barcelona, Spain in December, 2015! He broke the score of 300 for the first time in history, whereas before reaching a score of 280 would secure the gold. When he broke the world record, it was said, “A miracle has happened!” and “He has reached the Divine state.”

What is a difference between him and us? He is just an ordinary young man in a sense. The difference is that he has removed all restraint.

This year, an 18-year-old Japanese male figure skater named Shoma Uno accomplished a quadruple flip officially for the first time at the Team Challenge Cup, which was held in Spokane, US. In this manner, the current best record continues to be updated. When someone achieves something new, the old goal is updated and the new world-record holder becomes the goal for everyone. Then, everyone’s restraints are removed. This world continues with such a succession.

However, many people have a strange mind such as “I cannot do this!” or “I am not good enough!” In a meaning, it is the way they are. But…

Aren’t you confining yourself with such assumption?

The truth is that your life goal has no limit. It is you that create these limits. People tend to think like “I am such a person” and try not to do more than that.

If we would like to bloom our potential, we need to remove such hindrance. When most people have an experience, they begin to determine themselves based on that. However, an experience is for removing the resistance. Nevertheless, people own their experiences due to their ego, make them a common knowledge, and continue to be in such a narrow frame. However, the future exists for us to transcend our past experiences. Therefore, it is all right to utilize them, but we should not fix upon them and reach a conclusion based on them beforehand.

This is how to transcend our ego.

Now that we have entered the 21st century, young professionals in various fields including figure skating like Yuzuru Hanyu and Shoma Uno have appeared and blossomed their own potential to expand the human possibility further.

However, here is a little concern. Does the expansion of human potential contribute to humanity or for the livelihood of the Earth? Looking at the current society, many people have a narrow worldview and set their goal only to blossom their own ability. A new era has arrived for sure, but still it is expressed on individual desires. A 15-year-old Japanese genius programmer named Soto Yamauchi, who got first prize at the age of 11 as the youngest in an international programming contest, said, “I would like to contribute to human evolution and think it is cool to advance the human path, rather than become a billionaire!” His passion is the exact goal for humans to achieve in the 21st century.

The time has arrived when humans live with such a broad worldview. No matter how high your ability is, if it does not match with the universal structure or the flow of the era, your high ability becomes a seed for problems in your life and for this world.

Many people who want to create a community have visited the Konohana Family. The important message for them is: This world consists of a circulation of infinite lives. Therefore, a community is not to be created, but simply emerges with the era. When the era is expressed, each one of us is given an appropriate role to express the era, and then we are born on Earth. So, a community cannot be created because you want to do so. On the contrary, those who are eager to create a community express their strong ego. Therefore, it can be said that they are unsuitable for that.

In fact, many of these people cannot see their reality. In this manner, certainly the time has arrived when human consciousness should change.

Various contradictions have piled up in the current human society. However, the truth is that there is no mistake in this world. There is no right or wrong. IF there is a problem, it would be “ignorance (it is written as 無知 meaning “no wisdom” in Japanese).” It is a root cause of all problems. It is the ignorance at the origin of this world, as well as our own existence.

On the contrary, what kind of person would be with “wisdom”? As 無 also means infinity, it is the one who has infinite wisdom. So, it is the person who accumulates experiences infinitely, gains wisdom, and continues to evolve. When people reach such a state, the human consciousness to gratify individual desires will disappear, and they will live as the universal being.

In order to do so, what kind of attitude should we humans take? Originally, we were born to accomplish a mission given by the era, and play a role given by this world. This is the exact meaning for our existence. The individual exists for the whole, and the whole makes the individual exist. Only when these two become consistent, will both individual health and true peace prevail on earth.

When will humans be aware of such a truth? President Obama visited Hiroshima on May 27th. Hopefully, he will visit Nagasaki next time. Now, this has been a very significant topic which that the whole world has paid attention to. The fact that he has suddenly decided to visit Hiroshima indicates that the era is moving forward very quickly. He did not visit Hiroshima for the convenience of Japan or the US. Clearly, this is a sign that the era is facing the next stage.

That is why the young generation with unprecedented talents has appeared recently. They have ignored the common knowledge of the past, including ideas such as “this is the current world record, so there will not be another,” removed such limitations, and have been exploring such a new world.

Then, what kind of role has been given to the Konohana Family, and what kind of switch have we turned off? It is to turn off the switch of the “ego”. Because we have turned off the switch of the ego, our current lifestyle has been possible. We have already lived for more than 20 years, sharing one wallet and all belongings with everyone in the community. Moreover, we cherish and scold other people’s children as our own. How many people in this world can do such a thing? A world without any boundaries has been already achieved here!

However, the range of the ego is diverse from something rough to something fine. Therefore, as a spiritual specialist who faces the ego seriously every day, and removes it beautifully, we will continue to seek this path where people might think, “Oh my goodness! Can humans do that??” We are a specialist in exploring spirituality, and live as a model for the future of humanity.

The era surely removes restriction and continues to move forward. Therefore, removing the limitations of the “ego” is the true figure of our life and our purpose. Now, the era has entered the stage where everyone lives as a specialist in exploring spirituality.

Those who can prioritize removing limitation can live with the era, and contribute to the whole of humanity, and the era.

An Ultimate Harmonious World: Toomasu’s Path of “HITO”

The “One Month Stay Truth School” ended successfully on March 12th, 2016. During the Truth School, Isadon always started a program, saying “I am doing Isadon today, too!” In the morning of March 13th, Toomasu, one of the participants had time to talk with him before he left for Bali, Indonesia where he is going to establish a community.

Toomasu:
I am playing Toomasu today!

Isadon:
I am going to watch the path you will take from now on. You have not been so realistic in the past, but I feel you are getting a little more realistic during the month. However, being realistic does not mean things go well the way you wish. When people become realistic, they will realize that various corrections are necessary to be made in their life.

When humans set a goal, trying to achieve something with their own will, they have an ability to achieve it forcefully. However, we have reached the current global situation because we have maximized such a possibility. It has caused a dead end in human society as well as rebellion from nature. That is because humans have misunderstood the meaning of expressing their nature in this world.

Therefore, it is important to stay with people close to you, stay with nature and the global environment, and stay even with the universal flow and law with a broad worldview, instead of trying to dominate this world and gratify our desires. If our life purpose exists in an extension of staying with these things, we will be able to resolve the contradictions that have been brought about by humans and have expanded.

You have inspiration to resolve such contradictions in this world. It should bring something beneficial for the world and people. However, if you are self-centered and do not stay with nature and other people, you will end up bringing a similar contradiction into this world. Then, first of all, it is significant to broaden your capacity. Next, it is essential to stay with other people and always be aware of all the existences. If you do so, your precious ideal, which is your final destination, will come true. This is to live a life of Buddha.

We say “The house where people gather will flourish” in Japan. In terms of prosperity, there is a low and high level of prosperity. This means phenomena occur appropriate to our consciousness. In the past, people have brought harm to other existences to attract human desires with a low consciousness, and as a result, they have flourished. However, the time has arrived when the Buddha’s spirituality attracts people. A place where people with the Buddha’s spirituality gather and make a community—this is an ideal figure where people live, and the “Village of Bodhisattvas” which is expressed in the Konohana Family. In order for your future community to attract people, you need to have the Buddha’s spirituality which becomes a core of your community.

You are 27 years old and still young. Watching you, you remind me of my youth. You are more awakened than when I was young. Also, I was much more out of control than you are! And the biggest difference is when I was young, I took my path with my own thoughts. Nobody gave me a guideline. I was not even aware of the divine existence at all at that time! Now, you have what I did not have. In this meaning, you have a very good environment. Therefore, if you become considerate to other people and stay with them, you will be able to create a place as a model for society, and your life purpose will be achieved. Then, it is important that your goal equals the divine one.

I believe it is a very good idea for you to create a community in Indonesia, from the viewpoint of the era. However, there must be a cultural difference between you as an American and the local people, so what I am telling you now will be required in your reality. Then, the key here is how much you are going to correct your inner self, rather than just try to adjust your relationships with other people.

Toomasu:
That is what I am learning. It is taking a 180 degree turn. It starts spiritually. But, it also requires changing the thoughts, feelings and relationships. And the culture is who I think I am. As I say, culture is where our spirit connects with the earth. It is what makes us a community. Without culture, we are just separate beings. So, this is how much we are making a brand new culture. But, that also requires changing the way that I see myself. From my experience here, I know what I am looking for. So, I need to jump into it.

When Isadon was talking about the “HITO” in the final program two days ago, I thought of how it works. Once the pattern is created, then the divine lives in it. So, once I see the pattern, I need to live in it. If I see it as an object, but I do not put my life into it, then that does not live. This is how all things are created. This is how we really are the spark of the divine. The divine made the form, and then jumped into the form to give it a life. This is the ultimate reality where we are no difference between what we see and what we are.

Isadon:
When talking about the ultimate reality, unless you see the actual reality and connect with the ultimate reality from your grounded position at the same time, you cannot connect yourself with people close to you. When you are talking about the ultimate reality, I am not listening to your words, but I am trying to sense what you are talking about. Then, I can understand what you mean. However, most people cannot understand you. Your purpose is to create an ideal world with people around you. Therefore, only when you face your reality, stay with people around you, and connect the steps from 1 to 10 of the ultimate reality, you will be beneficial for other people and the reality of this world.

“Phenomena show the truth”. There were many saints who did not have a good reputation from the human society, but reached enlightenment in the past. There were so many people like that especially in the Himalayas. They took the path of their individual enlightenment, so they did not stay with the general public. After their spirits returned to the divine, they came back to the earth through reincarnation in order to spread enlightenment to the general public. Then, they could fill the gap between the individual enlightenment and the one with other people. Originally, the enlightenment is not for those who reached it. It is for the general public. That is why, those who reached enlightenment need to stay with and live in harmony with all the people as the universal figure.

Listening to what you are saying now, I imagined ascetics who reached enlightenment in the Himalayas. In fact, when I first came down on earth as a human, I had such a training. However, eventually only when we stay with many people, can we become the one who expresses the divine will on earth. Also, it is important that it is expressed as phenomena in our lifestyle with real people, not in our fantasy. Therefore, it is significant to live in harmony with all the living beings and with the law of the earth and the universe. We do not have to look for a guideline for harmony somewhere else because we already exist in something absolute such as the natural system and the universal law.

However, the modern people have considered nature as what their ego dominates, so the current contradictions have been generated. As long as humans continue to live in the direction of gratifying their own desires, we will face a critical situation for sure, and the contradictions will become even bigger. Therefore, it is necessary to change our direction, stand back, and see calmly what kind of energy creates such contradictions. The attitude to see things calmly is a very relaxed state at the same time. Looking at things from the divine viewpoint beyond the era, and looking at the planetary movement from the divine viewpoint—having a broad worldview in such a universal way is essential.

Toomasu:
As I experience, all these things are ahead of me. I need them at the time necessary. Like you said, I see the theories and say, “I see the final picture”. But, just like I said, there are the forms that the divine must enter. So, like you said, this is a theory in real life, so I still need to go through it. And the experience will take us to the next time.

Isadon:
The experience can make your goal that you see ahead of you realistic.

Toomasu:
I felt this has been a part of my passing life, when Isadon said, “When I was your age, I was wilder”. I have a wild spirit, too. God is very insistent. So, God says, “You do not need to do that anymore.” But, during my wild time, that is when I began to see there is a different reality. Up to a point, I only thought this is what it is about. It is just about having the enlightenment. It is just about having the experience. But, when I try to tell people, they do not understand me. Or, many of other people say, “Oh, yeah. There is something there”. “It is like looking at the clouds”. “I have seen faces in the clouds”. We are just living in our own world. And I realized that this world is becoming more isolated from other people. The way of life is actually going down. So, despite the awareness, it is not making life better. And I realized how foolish it is. We can take something very positive from it, but then we just take it for ourselves.

Isadon:
Or, we can consider it positively with a broader stance. If we have a thought of separating ourselves from this world, we cannot consider things positively. Therefore, which direction you are looking at is important. You just said that this world is getting worse. It is correct. Humans have forgotten to live in harmony with nature, and lost the ability to sense it. Moreover, even though they talk about God, He does not live in their own minds. As a matter of fact, human consciousness has been parting more and more from God.

According to the Heliocentric Calendar, the “Conjunction” is the strongest and closest aspect of all. This is a state where two planets in the solar system line up in the same line of sight from the sun, and two different consciousness stay with each other completely. On the contrary, the “Opposition” is the farthest aspect of all. This is a state where two planes line up in the same line and face each other across from the sun. The farther they get from each other, the broader a stance they can connect with. Although it looks like it is getting farther at the first glance, if we become aware of the absolute existence of the sun in the center, we can express even a broader world.

In the same way, even if this world looks like it is getting worse at the first glance, it will become an even stronger energy with gaps to make humans evolve and reach enlightenment, in a broad meaning. Therefore, looking worse means getting better at the same time.

Toomasu:
I have a relationship with Shiva (the Hindu God of destruction) because I get excited when I see all of the disasters!

Isadon:
Now, I was imagining Shiva when talking. It is March 13th today, so we had the 5th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11th, two days ago. Today is the first Sunday after the anniversary, so many TV programs have been broadcast featuring that Earthquake since two days ago. Many people consider that Earthquake as an unfortunate disaster. And many people think of restoring what has been destroyed. However, has that Earthquake brought only unfortunate things to us?

It has washed away the contradictions which have been created with the human mind of possession. If humans can abandon the possession with their own will, the divine would not have had to give such a disaster. In order to do so, before the contradictions reach the peak and explode, we need to be flexible enough to always release our contradictions every moment. That Earthquake occurred because the trapped energy of humanity has reached its limit. In this manner, there are various ways to perceive things.

So, I was thinking just like you!

Toomasu:
It is not something that many people will understand.

Isadon:
The human activity on the earth is the reflection of the human mind. We can see ourselves through the mirror of phenomena. If we do not understand what the phenomena are trying to tell us as the mirror, we will not see the results as the retribution of ourselves. This is an extremely compulsory lesson. We can also say it is the exact proof that God always faces us. When we stand at the divine position where we create this world together with God, we will be able to consider we express the divine will as his substitute, not our ego, and accept all the phenomena as the divine will.

Then, our life will be expressed freely, and we will be able to understand the fact that we are in a very free space. This is the exact abundance that God wishes. And the final destination that you are talking about exists there. However, the final destination should not be your goal. Only when you take all of the steps from the beginning (HI) to the final destination (TO), and reach it eventually, can you become “HITO”. This is the path of “HITO”. It is the divine existence that always stays with us along the way, and this is the universal figure.

When we become aware of our divinity inside of us, and stay with all the existences as God does, I think we can exist as God. What do you think?

Toomasu:
As I experience what Isadon says, I feel this is one of the many voices of God. Just as I speak, we say the same thing from different angles. As I said, God makes the form and enters it. It is the “Chon (the divine will)” and gives it a life. We make this life for ourselves, and then we enter it to live. So, for the HITO, we start off in this life, knowing nothing. But, through our lives, we are just expanding on every awareness that has come before us.

Isadon:
It is also a path to remember who we are.

Toomasu:
Until we finally face ourselves. And then, that becomes “TO” when we see, “Oh! I have already done this!”

Isadon:
In fact, that “TO” is just “TO” in the first step, and there is the second step from HI to TO, and the tenth step from HI to TO. Furthermore, the whole from the first step to the tenth step is just “HI”. This is the structure of this world. In this manner, we exist in the infinite world with multi-dimensional layers. Therefore, if you consider the world you can think of now and you aim for are everything, and accomplish your goal, the next goal will come into sight. God is infinite and so is this world. The inner minute world is infinite, too. Even if we try to understand it by thinking scientifically, we cannot do that. It is important to sense it, not try to explore it with our brain. In order to do so, we need to utilize all the cell sensors in our body.

According to Katakamuna, this is to sense the purest energy in the potential world. That is, all the cells in our body will blossom and the ability of its antenna will function fully. And when each antenna of all the cells is fully open, “Chon (the divine will and energy)” enters the center of each antenna. Connecting with the divine in such a state is a figure of the ultimate human communion between a man and a woman. According to Katakamuna, this is called, “KAMU-UTSUSHI, AMA-UTSUSHI”.

I could talk about it only theoretically during the Truth School. However, it is said it is possible to experience and manifest it in the Katakamuna world. Nobody has conveyed it in such a way so far. When a society is created beyond the conventional value, those who can express it in reality will appear. Probably, it would be possible for the children under 10 years old and those who will be born from now on.

Toomasu:
As I see my role, I am just here to make the space for the divine to enter. There will be those that will come because they can no longer go backward. And that will be the older generation. But, there also will be a younger generation that will just naturally gravitate.

Isadon:
People tend to separate their own lives from others, but it is important to consider that we are responsible for the era. We need to know that our lives have the same structure as the space between railroad ties when a train runs on the track. Whenever a train arrives at a station, the era changes. And whenever a train reaches a station, people of a new generation get on the train to express the next era. At the same time, people of the old generation get off the train. Then, it is necessary to know that our lives are the space between railroad ties. We can consider that a space between ties is the period from the beginning to the end. Or, it is only a part to connect a possibility of a long train journey.

Toomasu:
This is what I said at the community meeting the other day, which is the “joy of sadness”. It is so beautiful, and at the same time, we cannot possess it.

Isadon:
Hahaha. Would it become sorrow because you have a mind to want to possess it? If people expand their stance, they will not possess anything. When they see things with a narrow viewpoint, they will possess them. If we think we exist in this world, we do. But, if we do not think we exist in this world, we do not. Therefore, as I told you yesterday morning, when we reset ourselves, everything becomes illusion! If you are aware of it, it becomes your reality. We see the reality from birth to death, but when we die, all the events in this phenomenal world become illusion. What we do is just to connect each railroad tie, and take a journey as a humanity. It is a journey from the beginning of humanity to the end, but it is just a part. It is a journey from the beginning of life to the end, but it is just a part. It is a journey from the beginning of the earth to the end, but it is just a part. It is a journey from the beginning of the universe to the end, and there would be more than that. If there is an infinite stance, it is more important to sense the infinite universe, rather than analyze it in this manner. Then, we will be able to become released. OK?

Toomasu:
OK! This is how simple God makes this world.

Isadon:
That is right. This world expresses both this ultimate simplicity and an ultimate complexity. Therefore, we can say both. When I consider the universe and the divine, it is always a very simple structure of fractal and TAIKO-HASSEI (a Katakamuna word, meaning that two opposite qualities face each other to create something new), and at the same time, an extremely minute and complicated world exists. On top of that, it is expressed not only in the three-dimensional world that we can recognize physically, but also in the multi-dimensional world! It is impossible to interpret this with the brain given to us to utilize in the three-dimensional world. Only when we release the function of the brain to sense it into the universe, will it be possible. What we should do is release all of the brain cells into the universe, and sense them with all of their receptors. Then, we will be able to sense the universal figure surely. If so, the real world we see now would be just trivial.

Toomasu:
Exactly! (Holding Isadon’s hands and putting his forehead to Isadon’s hands) Thank you so much for everything!

Isadon:
This was a wonderful meeting. Thank YOU.

――

One week later, the following mail was sent from Toomasu to the Konohana Family to let us know his updates.

――

I hope this email finds you well and well adjusted from the conclusion of the True School. I have been back in Bali for almost a week now. It has been a whole new beginning since I have returned. I have had a rather difficult time since I have come back. There is much to be humbled by in the world, and the spirits that God allows to do His work are always eager to train us 🙂

I went home and felt very low and found it very difficult to find the clarity that I finished with in the True School. Hahaha, almost like I went right back to (Hi).

I was told at the age of 33 I will come to Buddhahood, and that I will enter the state that I speak of (HiTo). However, it will be full of training along the way, and that I must enter the extreme depths of darkness, before I can sit among eternal light. I felt a renewed courage and devotion to the Divine, as all has been God, and all is God. When I came down stairs, I saw the number 33, and I felt that only God can bring clarity to my path. Later, I read the blog called “An Ultimate Harmonious World: PART 1 & 2,” I felt that God has been with us all along. He has secretly been guiding us on this path, so subtly, that many times we are not even aware that He has been with us.

I read my conversation with Isadon in the blog, and I felt like this is both God’s wonderful sense of humor, and God’s virtue to His creation, that we are never abandoned, and in fact we are always retracing our steps, with renewed enlightenment and opened hearts. It is so amazing to be allowed to read back my time in the True School, and though it is only a week ago, I feel like I have already found the wisdom in its passing. The gap is closing, and so is my email.

With all of my heart to Konohana (and of course Isadon 🙂

“Your Reset is in Your Hands” – Isadon’s Message to the Participants of the Truth School on the Day of Departure March 12th, 2016

The One Month Stay Truth School has faced its reset today. I have provided various information to you during the month. I was trying to help you start a new life by doing so.

As a matter of fact, I have reset myself from the Truth School since we had a final party last night. When I woke up this morning, I have realized that.
160312-100936

When I woke up this morning, I thought I wanted to die. What kind of impression do you have toward people wanting to die? Has anyone wanted to die so far?
(The majority raised their hands.)

Then, is there anyone who does not think you will die?
(A few people raised their hands, saying, “Our souls never die”.)

What I mean by “Death” here is “Reset”. Each one of you has his/her original life and has taken a path up to now. Depending on the worldview, some consider life the period from birth to death, and some who believe in reincarnation consider it spiritual journey. If the worldview is limited physically, they consider life as the process of reincarnation. When it expands universally, life would be interpreted as the period from the universal beginning to the present. Moreover, when the worldview becomes infinite, this world just continues to circulate, so there is no beginning or end and life is only a process. Death does not exist there. The recognition of living in this world is totally different by how broad and high your consciousness is. However, it is up to you which level of consciousness you have. And it is the result of your life history. For example, if people are interested in if they can eat or not every day, it would be their world. Therefore, they would lose hope for life by facing a difficulty in front of them.

In this manner, how to perceive things varies by the worldview. You think based on your own experiences, within the frame of your current point where you can recognize from your origin that you can imagine. Then, if you are trapped in your thoughts, you determine things based on these. Also, you only accept what you can understand, and consider what you can understand is correct. In this meaning, we can say each one of us is a ruler.

The monolith that appears in the movie called “2001: A Space Odyssey” is the standard of human wisdom. The thoughts which have been woven and established as the history of our life journey is the individual human individual. The process of human history, in which the universal wisdom was given to monkeys as its origin, was described in this movie.

The Chinese character of “God (神)” consists of two parts: to show (示) and to tell (申). This is interpreted as “to tell something and show”. The part of 申 also means “monkeys,” so we can interpret this as “to show monkeys”: God’s will is given to monkeys so that they can live as the substitute of God. This is the origin of the letter for “God”.

From this viewpoint, the spirits that exist in the universe created the earth according to universal cosmophysics, and brought down the seeds of life. This leads to the flow of life’s evolution. Then, we, the three-dimensional life that lives on earth are compact expressions of the universal structure itself. This means humans are a microcosm. The fact that humans were created as a microcosm in this world is like humans creating an artificial brain to imitate themselves. We have taken a path of independent life as “divided beings of the Divine” when a sperm and an ovum (yin and yang) meet in a mother’s womb. The path is binary, so all the lives are divided into two, yin and yang. A life starts with the first cell, becomes complicated by repeatedly dividing into two, and develops various functions. The heart is created as the first organ, and plays the role of the sun in the solar system. Also, its center is the core of our human body. That is why, the heart is created first out of all of the organs. However, still at this stage, we are just a primitive life.

Just like in the process of evolution, we develop in our mother’s womb, first from fishes with gills to amphibians, reptiles with scales, and then to birds and mammals. Therefore, if a premature baby of 7 months is born, it would be hairy like a monkey. If so, when a baby is born in 10 months, it would be more hairy. However, the reality is its hair is gone and the baby is born as a human.

When I was analyzing the meanings of the 5th and 6th Katakamuna Songs with Mikako the other day, I realized that the system of the universal structure is exactly the same as the process of pregnancy. According to Katakamuna, 1 is called “HI” and HI also means the beginning. 10 is called “TO” and TO also means completion and integration. That is why, the meeting of a sperm and an ovum begins (HI) secretly, and after 10 months and 10 days (TO), we are ready to be born as humans (HITO). We are created in our mother’s body with the seed of our father as the origin. The seed of our father means that a vertical pillar comes down. Therefore, a pillar comes down from the divine (a spirit comes down from the divine) or a pillar stands from the earth to the divine (welcoming a divine spirit). That is, the father penetrates a pillar in the mother’s womb, sends a seed, and welcomes a spirit. And the mother creates life in the womb just like the earth does. This is the origin of life over 3.3 billion years out of the 4.6 billion year history of the earth. When humans are born, we go through 280 days compacted in our mother’s womb, and then we reach here.
160312-101348

Moreover, analyzing the history of life on earth, we became from proteins to amino acids in the beginning. From the universal viewpoint, it was brought by an extraordinarily miraculous change. However, it is not a life yet at this point. The amino acid became the first cell by some chance. It became a primitive life, evolved into a complicated one, and changed into microorganisms and planktons. Ocean (pronounced as Umi or Ama in Japanese) expresses a woman (pronounced as Ama in Japanese) and is the origin of life, playing the same role as a woman’s womb. The first life was born here, became fish and crawled up on the land as an amphibian, became a reptile, and divided into a bird or a mammal through evolution. Monkeys evolved from mammals.

In this manner, we were divided from monkeys into humans in the process of evolution. When we follow the evolution of life archaeologically, the theory of evolution can explain the process to the stage of monkeys. Biologically, monkeys and humans are almost the same. However, the theory of evolution cannot fill the gap from monkeys to humans. About 60 percent of Americans deny the theory of evolution, from the viewpoint of faith. However, most Japanese people consider humans to be the evolution of monkeys. Physically, humans exist as an evolutionary extension of monkeys, so there must be something to fill the gap between monkeys and humans.

In terms of DNA, there is a theory that the DNA of humans is 99 percent the same as monkeys. The life system of an amoeba is about the same as humans. There is an extreme difference between life and non-life. Therefore, the fact that a three-dimensional life emerged on earth, is an extraordinary miracle in a chain of non-life in the universe. In this meaning, all the lives of earth are friends!

The monolith that appears in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” was described as a physical pillar. I interpreted it as an invisible pillar inside each one of us. It is the universal pillar called “AMENO-MINAKANUSHI”. Its origin is the great universal wisdom called “AMANO-MINAKANUSHI”. According to the theory of evolution, the life of earth evolved to the stage of monkeys, and in fact, the universal will led that. The divine spirits were watching the earth from above. After the earth was created, they brought down the seeds of life and nurtured them. They nurtured life from the stage of 1 to 8 (HI FU MI YO I MU NA YA), brought it out in this world at the stage of 9 (KO), and were watching life evolution from above. Then, life evolved to the stage of monkeys. The divine spirits nurtured the receivers as themselves. When they looked at monkeys, they made monkeys their receivers on earth. That is how they started to walk on earth. The universal wisdom of humans entered monkeys and became with the theory of evolution. Once they touched the monolith, they started to pick up animal bones around them and show their will spontaneously. From there, they started to take the path of spreading their power using tools. This is all the beginning of egos. I interpreted the movie in this manner.

スクリーンショット-2016-03-14-11.31.46

In this way, since the beginning of life’s history, an invisible pillar has been standing inside of us. Therefore, our history is not just what our brain can recognize within its current analytical ability. Something much older exists in our life’s memory of DNA. However, the modern people can only recognize themselves through the currently used part of the brain. It is said humans use only a part of their brain, which could be just 10 percent. Therefore, the rest of 90 percent is asleep. We can wake it up since it is just asleep. In order to do so, we need to utilize our patterns of thought.

Unless modern people utilize the unused part of their brain gradually, humans will miss the evolution of the era. People who try to protect themselves, and are trapped in their own thoughts, are already living in the past. They seek their own happiness in such a state. However, the more happiness they seek, the more they are trapped in themselves. Then, their ego just expands more and more and they continue to wear an armor of attachment. Even though they seek a comfortable environment to protect themselves, the armor will become even heavier. Also, they will crush the possibility of their life. The possibility will be open only by removing attachments.

Then, if we just talk about the final destination without explaining the steps in between as Toomasu does, people cannot understand it. As a result, we would feel lonely as he did. However, originally life does not have a state of solitude because the original figure of life continues to circulate and spiral in a mutual cooperation. This world needs every single existence to make it exist. All continue to circulate and spiral from the beginning of the universe (life) to the completion of it (life). Therefore, when you fall into loneliness in such a system, an awareness will be given to you that you have deviated from the original figure of life and created contradictions. This world operates like such a complicated fabric.

160312-103740

Considering ourselves in such a frame, there is nothing that specifies ourselves. Therefore, once we release ourselves from attachment, all of the ego that you have been trapped in becomes just an illusion. When we reset ourselves, everything is just illusion. The experience of being trapped is the reality that you have not reset yet. What Toomasu says is correct. However, if he only talks about it, those who are trapped in themselves cannot understand. Therefore, understanding such people’s feelings and leading them to integration is showing the path. Otherwise, the completed state inside of us will bring us solitude.

All of you are in uniquely trapped positions. It is easy to release your attachment. For example, when you look at someone and want to become like him/her, you reset yourself and become like them.

160312-101932

As I said in the beginning, when I woke up this morning, I wanted to die. Looking up at the divine in the air, I am very confident this path must be it. I can see such an absolute state without any specific reason. When I met the path of spiritual exploration, a Golden Buddha appeared overhead, and I cried for half a day. The reason why I cried so much is that I was very moved by its preciousness. However, I cannot express it with words or find the meaning within it. It was just precious. No reason. The figure of this world (the universe) is life. Life is light. Light is the beginning of life and precious. In this manner, I have such a conviction inside of myself, and have reached certainty which is beyond expression. I would like to share the joy of this certainty. Then, I founded a community at the foot of Mt. Fuji, and started this lifestyle with my company 22 years ago. However, the divine will guided us, instead of my will doing so. Therefore, my role is to spread such a certainty and lead people. Certainty is something firm. At the same time, certainty is also the will inside of each one of us.

Then, if humans come down on earth and get lost in the current society, their final destination will be to meet it with certainty. Therefore, wherever we live, once we become awakened, we will be able to reach the final destination.

(Pointing to each participant) You cannot make up your mind. You are at a quiet good stage, but still your thoughts are not deep enough in order to reach such certainty. You take a detour due to your distorted personality. You do not put up a ladder from the ground, and just think of the top of the shelf. You look at something very important, but you need to sort out your own attachment to get there. You care about your reputation from other people, rather than take your own path. You take a detour even though you have an ideal. You feel an ideal somewhere, but you have not organized your thoughts. Although you have an acute sensitivity, you do not live with the truth and are bombarded with your ego. Your ambivalence is expressing your life. You have an ability to see the truth, but you say you do not know and do not do it. You have a sharp analytical skill, but you are so stubborn and awkward that you cannot manifest it in yourself. In this way, each one of you is very unique and diverse. What a pain it would be to tell you the truth over a month in a sense. There are as many as 7 billion people on earth, so what a work!

While I was talking, I have just realized that I do not have to take all the responsibility by myself. The time has arrived when human consciousness reflects the shift of the era. Therefore, I am expressing myself in this manner, and at the same time I am beginning to feel easy. Since the era has shifted, a new thought comes up to each one of you. It is the will of the era and the divine. Then, when I feel responsible for everything by myself, I feel it is bothersome and feel like dying. Even if I have such a precious role and path to convey to people, if I am trapped as a human individual, it would be a bother and pain. However, if it is considered as a collaborative work with the divine, we can move forward with joy. The divine said to me, “You are given difficulty, so proceed with your determination.”

In a meaning, humans are at the top of all lives. However, current humans are at the highest point full of ego ironically. We can say that we are at the point where the human ego has reached its peak in the history of life on earth. Human values have become contradicted, and have become the same meaning. If I try to reset such a situation, reverse it all, lead people to a new value, a difficult path seems to continue infinitely.

Then, what I thought today is to return this path to each one of you. Your reset is in your hands. Then, each one of you will become awakened. Becoming awakened from now on means sleeping right now. Therefore, your current pain emerges because you are confining yourself with attachments. When you reset yourself, all of the pains become illusion and you can switch on a new life. Happiness is in the hands of each one of you, so if you do not switch it on, you should not make any complaint.

Then, I reset myself this morning. I do not think my role is a pain any more. As a result, I am sharing my reset with you immediately. The era has entered such a cycle. The values of this world will be changed completely in the future. Therefore, as its manifestation, many issues have come up to the surface. This is a divine arrangement. The time will come when each one of us blooms as an individual flower. If you reset the old you, all your life becomes illusion. Such a simple trick is hidden in this world. Your life as well as this world is a trick. In other words, once you analyze and understand it, you can transform yourself into whatever you like!

There is a conviction inside of me now. Looking up at the divine in the air, I am confident that this path must be it. You cannot understand it by thinking it over in your brain. This is the same as we cannot express preciousness with words. The door of the era has already opened when people can understand such a thing and live on earth.

This might be the first time when such a thing is told on earth. You might not believe this, thinking like “Oh! Am I really in such a precious place?” However, everything always begins secretly. There is always a probability that it is you. Those who can believe this can stand at the very beginning. Unless you do so, you can never stand there.

When I reset myself, thought I wanted to die this morning, and released my conventional interpretation, this story came down to me from the divine. The more we open the door of attachment, the more wisdom the divine gives us. Then, I open my mouth and talk. My talking means my gate is open. Because it is open, the wisdom comes inside of me. This is to live with the divine and live in the universe as those who have reached such a consciousness.

Today, you are going back to your original environment where your ego has been reflected and expressed in the past. When you return there, will you return to what you have been? Or, will you go toward a new direction? It is just up to you.

We are always with the divine, and all lives, as one life. Therefore, no one can be lonely. Will you recognize this and live in an abundant and harmonious world? Or, will you be trapped in your ego? It is up to you. However, as you have learned during the Truth School, when your path goes toward a reverse direction, the universe always gives you a pain. Both living in the universe and expressing the era show there is one direction of the universal law (the forward direction).

The divine gives humans freedom, but at the same time, asks us to exist within the law. Giving us egos as a proof of free will, the divine works to pull humans back to the law, when humans are trapped in their egos and deviate from the law. This is the divine will, guidance, and love to humans. And it is important for us to understand the value of our existence as humans. Therefore, if you still want to value your ego, please go to that direction. It is all up to you.

I went through a month, had the final party last night, and reset myself this morning. I am still Isadon, but I am the new Isadon! What will you do? I hope to see you again.

An Ultimate Harmonious World: PARTⅡ

2-1

From the Part I

About half an hour was left in the final program of “Living with Spiritual Abundance.” Will everyone be able to put all of the steps of the stairs from stages 1 to 10 together?!

Tae-chan:
Comparing the previous time from Shu-kun expressing his real self with the recent one, he has recently tried to confirm with everyone like, “Is it all right?” or “Do you agree?” whenever he has an opinion.

Isadon:
This means Shu-kun is considerate to everyone.

Tae-chan:
Yes.

Mika-chan:
He has evolved.

Isadon:
How has he evolved?

Mika-chan:
In the beginning, he was self-centered without thinking how other people feel. Since he realized he was self-centered, he has tried to confirm with everyone.

Shu-kun:
I expressed my real self, thinking I was right before.

Isadon:
So, in the beginning, you were trying to push your thoughts on other people.

Shu-kun:
Yes. Since I learned that, I have tried to express what I feel just as information.
2-2

Isadon:
Now, you express your real self as one of the opinions.

Shu-kun:
That is right.

Mika-chan:
That is a huge difference.

Isadon:
Many steps of the stairs in between have been put together!

Mika-chan:
Did anyone feel such a difference in Shu-kun’s attitude?

Yasuko-chan:
Toward the end of the Truth School, I had an impression that he expressed himself neutrally without getting emotional.
2-3
Isadon:
If so, Shu-kun’s honest expression was for harmony. For both Shu-kun and everyone, it took a long time to reach a harmonious state. On the contrary, is there any way to reach harmony more quickly, or speaking to extreme, instantly?

Liz:
I am wondering if it is important to have a model, where we make sure before anything concludes, that everybody feels self-expressed.

Isadon:
Do you mean we have time to express ourselves first?

Liz:
They express their intentions, if it is different from the rest of the group, to add their piece of harmony.

Isadon:
So, what you mean is to set a place where everyone can say anything first?

Liz:
I do not know if everyone needs to say something, but if you have not resonated with what has been said that there is space for your input. But, what I am trying to get to is saying that it is not just Shu-kun’s responsibility for the chaos. I am trying to understand when Isadon says everyone creates a space. It might help fill a gap between what Toomasu said. Everyone’s mind interprets what he puts out, so if everybody expresses themselves, there might be harmony. But, if he just expresses himself and people interpret it like he is pushy or I am little afraid, then there is disharmony. So, I am asking you a question. Can that be a part of the model, that even if someone expresses something that seems surprising to others, if everyone expresses themselves, it can be harmonized?
2-4

Isadon:
Let me explain what you said easily. Shu-kun expresses his real self with his value under a goodwill to create a good place here as one of the participants. Liz thought it might be better for everyone to express themselves. By doing this, an honest place is created and as a result, it might be a little bit chaotic. However, if everyone has a common mind to create a good place here together, the place will be harmonious eventually.

Liz:
That is what I am saying! I am thinking of a big system, not just a small system, such as family, class, politics and agency. When the system does not allow everyone to speak, or to be heard to communicate, then we will never really get the harmony because we only hear some certain pitches.

Toomasu:
Also, what I hear Liz saying is that for me if I am not listening clearly and objectively, then I cannot hear the intention. If I am just listening with my own values, then I am just going to say, “No! That does not fit!” And then, I just take what they give and try to make it my way. We never actually set a harmonious system or outcome. So, I need to be clear and objective when I listen. And maybe that even will change my values.

Isadon:
It is to stay with the person concerned. Now, how many steps of the stairs have we put together so far?

2-5

In this manner, each individual has an original background, so we do not need to have the same recognition. However, it is clear that each one of you has changed, going through the month. Therefore, instead of gaining something perfect and starting a new life, you can meet your true self and go forward with it as your starting point.

What I wanted to tell you, through the learning of the Truth School, is to broaden your worldview, expand your capacity, observe diversity in the world and accept various ways of being. It is working toward the outside. On the contrary, working toward the inside, let’s you know your truth. It might be difficult for you to accept your true self because many people look at their illusion. They live, thinking “I want to be seen this way,” or “I want to be such a person.” It is a trapped emotion toward yourself. Therefore, if you overlap your emotions, you cannot see your real self. And if you overlap your emotions, you always see the outer world through your emotions and cannot see the real world. This world always gives you phenomena that reflects your mental state accurately. THIS is living in this world, and at the same time, the divine will and the universal law.

The important thing here is to have courage to face your real self, no matter what impression it gives you. You need to make efforts toward that. Unless you have a broad worldview on top of the courage and efforts, you cannot select and see your true self in every possibility (diversity). First, look at the inside, face your real self and accept it. And look on the outside, and accept the diversity besides you. In order to maximize your life fully, it is significant for you to find the piece given to you that exists in this world. You are the only one who can play your role. Then, you can live a fulfilling life and at the same time, can play a role in this world.

Now, we were trying to put all of the steps of the stairs together from 1 to 10. Toomasu talked about the final conclusion on the way, and this means such a complete state is already prepared and such a world exists. However, we are at this stage now, so we cannot jump there instantly. Therefore, we need to put up every step in order to reach there. If human speculation or emotions are involved, people feel like skipping all the process. Therefore, it is necessary to observe your own emotions and others calmly.

People take a detour in the process of such a path. Some waste time and energy. That is because, by overlapping their emotions, they do not look at the real self and others.

Going back to the previous topic about Shu-kun, all the people who gathered here had goodwill to create a better place. However, many people see a difference in themselves first. That is because they prioritize their ego. That is, their own standard is given a priority.

There is a phrase of “Hear 1 and know it all to 10 (meaning “A word to the wise is enough”) in Japanese. According to Katakamuna (the advanced cosmophysics that developed in East Asia about 13000 years ago), a person who went through and mastered all the process from 1 (HI) to 10 (TO) is called, “HITO” and it is the enlightened figure of a completed person. We can say it is the path from 1 to 10, but HITO is the combination of 1 and 10, and does not have the process in between. Those who do not understand the path have to take all the steps from 1 to 10. However, once people understand its structure, they can see all the nature behind the phenomena that appear in this world.

Then, where should we see the nature in the case of Shu-kun? First of all, all the people who were involved in this story had goodwill. When we see things with goodwill as the base and understand each other’s goodwill, all we need is just to get connected. This is “A word to the wise is enough”. In fact, once HITO is completed, we will not need the learning in between.

In other words, it is “AUN (meaning an ultimate harmony in Japanese)”. The Japanese language has 48 sounds and starts with A and ends with UN. So, when a person hear “A,” he/she answers with “UN”. In this manner, we can understand everything instantly, and harmony emerges in a moment. This is the ultimate universal figure. And this is the final destination, which is possible for humans to reach. It is this final stage that we should aim for.
2-7

We have tried to put the steps of the stars from stage 1 to 10 all at once. As each one of you has a different individuality, some steps might be missing appropriate to your spirituality. Everyone, please understand there is a path that is the completed being of HITO. I really hope you that you will connect the steps that are missing appropriate to yourself, and live a complete life as “HITO”. When you understand its structure, you will become “HITO”, “hear 1 and know it all to 10” and live in a world of “AUN (an ultimate harmony)”.

We have overrun our schedule a little bit, but this is the end of the final program of the One Month Stay Truth School. Everyone, thank you so much!
2-8
――

At the community meeting held at night, the participants of the Truth School shared how they felt about today’s final program. Toomasu shared with everyone as follows.

Toomasu:
Konbanwa (meaning “Good evening” in Japanese)!

Everyone:
Konbanwa!

Toomasu:
When the class ended today, I secretly waited for Isadon outside of the bathroom♪

Isadon:
(Applause!!)

Toomasu:
I was trying to be Yoko today!

Isadon:
When I got out of the bathroom, I saw Yoko who resembles Toomasu! I could not tell which is which!

Toomasu:
I am working on being more delicate. So, I was holding a towel for Isadon! When he came out, I said, “Now, it takes the last second for everything to cook.” HITO is like climbing a mountain. The top is TO. But, once we get to TO, we have to come back down. And it is important to walk together with other people.

Even though this is a place where we practice facing ourselves, like our Dojo (meaning a training school in Japanese), out in the world is really where we do it. So, that is where we walk together.

If we knew that on the first day, there would not be a Truth School. But, I feel like there is always another mountain, so there will always be another Truth School. I look forward to coming back here next time.

Isadon:
Today’s main event happened when I went to the bathroom and came out, at the end of the program. I shared the following story with the participants of the Truth School before. When I go to the bathroom, I do not wash my hands in the bathroom. Instead, I go to a sink in the kitchen next to the bathroom and wash my hands. A towel is hung under the sink. Surprisingly, whenever I wash my hands and try to reach for the towel, it rises toward me automatically! Therefore, I do not have to make efforts to bend down to reach it. Only when I direct my right hand toward the towel, it comes up to me at the perfect height. The secret is Yoko is there, raising the towel toward my hands. That is because she does not want me to use my energy even for extending my hands just a little bit or bending down to reach the towel. She said she is supporting me so that I can make the most of my energy only to play my special role. I shared this story as her daily attitude with the participants before. Then, when I came out of the bathroom today, there was someone holding a towel for me just in front of the bathroom! I thought, “It is Yoko!” Toomasu was standing not at the sink, but in front of the bathroom. Then, I went to the sink, washed my hands, and wiped them with the towel he gave to me. After that, we had a talk as he shared.

As for Shu-kun’ sharing today, he was emotional in the beginning, learned through the Truth School, received negative feedbacks from other participants, reflected on himself, and became considerate to others. First, he expressed his real self and brought chaos to everyone. Everyone expresses their real self to try to improve the field together, but could not. However, as a result finally today, Shu-kun’s sharing led to everyone’s harmony.

To tell you the truth, I had a plan today. Although I wanted to tell you up to a certain point during the Truth School, the whole place did not reach such a stage where I could tell you that yet. Therefore, I thought the Truth School would end without me telling you that. Then, Shu-kun raised his hand and shared his reflection in the final program today. At the time, only less than 1 hour was left. I was facilitating the program, listening to everyone and trying to build up an image. Toomasu talked about the final conclusion of TO on the way. It was correct, but we needed to put the steps in between because people cannot connect the lowest stage with the highest one and understand it all without stairs. Then, Tae-chan put some steps in between and so did Yoshi-yan and others along with my guidance. As a result, the steps of the stairs from HI to TO were connected gradually.

In such a situation, Liz came up with a question, wondering if it is better to have a place where everyone can feel self-expressed. It is correct, but it is quite difficult to have such a place where everyone can express themselves freely. In a sense, it is a completed place. Also, unless they have the same purpose, they would just have to talk a lot and it would take so much time to reach a conclusion. It is important to open our hearts, create a place where everyone can express anything in the general workshop of the community. However, I wanted to tell you there is actually a world which transcends that, during the Truth School.

We had the final program today, so I wanted you to reach there. I thought it could be impossible in the middle of the program. Then, from Shu-kun’s sharing, the stage 1 was told, and Toomasu talked about the stage 10. Other participants talked about some steps in between to fill the gap. However, in fact, there is a way where our hearts get connected instantly, without taking time to fill the gap.

This is “A word to the wise is enough”. First, everyone’s original intention was goodwill. If everyone can sense each other’s goodwill behind their words, their hearts become connected automatically, and the place from 1 to 10 emerges. Gathering here means stage 1, so when everyone confirms each other’s goodwill, it becomes stage 10 automatically. According to Katakamuna, 10 indicates completion. When everyone can understand they all have goodwill, a place will emerge where their heart is open fully without any speculation. Everyone can express their honesty there, like “How about you?” “You connect stage 2.” “You connect stage 5.” “You connect stage 8.” In this manner, the process from 1 to 10 will be completed right away.

However, now we needed to listen to each will and put each step in between. If we confirm each other’s goodwill, we will not have to discuss details. When someone says, “I want you to connect 1,” you understand your step will lead to the final step ultimately. Then, someone else around you says, “I can connect 2,” and this will lead to an ultimate harmonious world. The ultimate world the humans can seek is “AUN”. There, we do not have to adjust our minds.

I wanted to lead you to such a world during the Truth School. At the end of today’s final program, when I thought we barely made it, Toomasu was doing Yoko outside of the bathroom! He sensed her story I shared before, with intuition, and was holding a towel for me.

The fact that Toomasu talked about 10 first was correct because it can lead everyone to have the same Northern Star. He always talks about the Northern Star first, but if he does it when everyone else cannot understand it yet, it does not make any sense. Then, after he gave me the towel, he said the top of the mountain is TO and it is important to walk together after reaching the top and come back down. Those who reached the top know its value, so they can show the path to people who are going to climb the mountain. Therefore, when we reach the top, come back down, and walk together with people at stage 1, we can guide them along the path from 1 to 10. I said to Toomasu that I hope he will live such a life from now on.

Then, the stairs that I wanted you to put together, but thought it would be impossible to do so on the way, were completed finally! I was able to share the ultimate harmonious world that I wanted to during the whole Truth School at the last minute. Now, I am very satisfied.

Toomasu:
(Tapping his heel, HI and toe, TO on the floor alternatively) Maybe, if Shu-kun and I are shoes and walk together, we would be “HITO”. Is this what it is like to be Isadon??

Isadon:
(Giving a OK sign to Toomasu)

Toomasu:
Since I was a child, I did not want to read the instructions. So, I just said “I know it all already,” and I tried to put the bike together and build something, and skipped all of the steps.

Isadon:
That is why, you have broken things!

Toomasu:
Exactly! I ended up getting angry, and had to go right back to the beginning. I had to do it the proper way anyway. So, it all makes sense now!

An Ultimate Harmonious World: PARTⅠ

The “One Month Stay Truth School” ended successfully on Marth 12th, 2016. On March 11th, each participant had time to reflect on him/herself during the month in the finale of the program, titled “Living with Spiritual Abundance.” Shu-kun, one of the participants, started to share his reflection as follows.

Shu-kun
Shu-kun

Shu-kun:
I was staying as a helper here at Konohana Family before I participated in the Truth School. However, my stay during the Truth School was totally different from that of a helper. My mental tendencies have appeared a lot in front of other participants who stay with me here, and I have realized how much I have affected everyone by bringing about a terrible situation. I came to understand that I have caused disharmony in this manner. I knew myself to a certain level, reflecting on myself in my journal, but I finally came to realize I was trapped in myself from the first place. I am thinking how to live from now on, and I need to face myself carefully. There are so many things I care about, and I think it is all right to worry about something important. However, I have worries that I do not like based on my narrow worldview. Therefore, I am going to leave such a stage, broaden my worldview, and improve my spirituality humbly and honestly. Now I have realized I was really arrogant. So, I have decided to express my real self, and I feel a little easy.

Isadon (the founder of Konohana Family, and the facilitator of this program):
I have a question. You have expressed your mental tendencies as the way they are. In a sense, you have expressed your real self.

Shu-kun:
Yes.

Isasdon:
Then, you have reflected on that.

Shu-kun:
Yes.

Isadon:
After you reflected on that, you have come to a conclusion that you are going to express your real self from now on, too.

Shu-kun:
Express my real self….it means to accept my real self and try to control it.

Isadon:
Let me say that again. After all, what you have done is you have expressed your tendencies without knowing them well, and learned that expressing your real self has affected the whole so greatly. As a result, you said you have reached a conclusion to continue to express your real self. I am not saying this is contradictory. What is the difference between expressing the real self in the beginning and after your reflection and learning?

What is a difference between the real self that has caused problems and the one that you are going to express from now on, after learning?

Mika-chan:
We talked about it during lunch time the other day. Many people are mixed up between expressing the real self as their individual tendencies and with objective viewpoints. So, is it always good to express our honesty? If we express our honesty, is it all right?

Shu-kun:
Yes, now I remember! But, how can I explain….

Isadon:
Both are expressing the real self. This is a very important point. Looking at the current society, everyone expresses his/her real self in a sense. As a result, the society has reached a current situation and a dead end. However, I think we can solve this issue by living honestly as we are. Therefore, we need to understand the difference between expressing his honesty in the past and after his learning. When we can understand, “we should express our real self in this manner!” then we will be able to shift to the next stage firmly. Everyone, let’s think about this together!

Yoshiyan
Yoshiyan

Yoshi-yan:
I wonder if both exist at the same time. Both the selves we like and do not like exist together.

Isadon:
I know what you mean, but many people tend to consider the self they like based on their own standard. This is the key. Although you honestly express the self you feel comfortable with, it does not mean it could be good for other people. It could be exactly for your own self-satisfaction.

Tae-chan:
So then we need to observe ourselves with objective viewpoints, understand the whole situation, and express ourselves.

Isadon:
It is an ultimate goal. Observing ourselves in a bigger frame including ourselves, understanding the whole and expressing ourselves is an ultimate goal. What I am asking you here is first, when Shu-kun expressed his real self, he brought disharmony. In this meaning, his real self was a problem. However, after he learned that, he reached a conclusion that it is still important for him to express his real self. I think he is right. So, what is the difference between his real self that brought disharmony in the past and his real self that he can interpret positively?

Tae-chan:
His emotions accompanied his real self in the beginning, so he did not control his emotions.

Tae-chan
Tae-chan

Isadon:
What did it bring to the whole?

Nobu-kun:
Shu-kun’s emotional pain.

Isadon:
What did he bring to the whole, but not to him?

Nobu-kun:
He bought disharmony to the whole, felt a pain and learned from there.

Nobu-kun
Nobu-kun

Isadon:
Do you mean he learned?

Nobu-kun:
Yes.

Isadon:
If so, how about the other people?

Nobu-kun:
The other people learned and so did he.

Isadon:
When he did not control his emotions, and both he and the other people could learn from it, it cannot be bad. However, the learning here becomes a lesson as a bad example. Then, Shu-kun said he should continue to express his real self to transcend the lesson. I agree with him. So, what is the difference before and after his reflection? Expressing the real self which disturbs the whole, and expressing the real self after his reflection, are totally different. Don’ you think?

Shu-kun:
I know sensuously….

Isadon:
But, you cannot explain with words.

Shu-kun:
Yes.

Isadon:
You have two experiences of expressing your real self before and after your learning. Why don’t you describe the difference in your senses?

Shu-kun:
It was very painful before! When I expressed my emotions a lot, I felt a big distance from everyone. Then, my pain became bigger and bigger and I wanted to be alone. After that, I thought, “This is not good!” and then I changed my attitude.

Isadon:
You did not mean to confuse the whole at that time?

Shu-kun:
Not at all.

Isadon:
What was your purpose to express your emotions as they were?

Shu-kun:
….I do not think I had a specific purpose….

Isadon:
Did you just say what you wanted to say? I do know why you did it.

Tae-chan:
When Shu-kun expressed his emotions without controlling them, I felt his feeling like, “I am doing so hard, but why does nobody understand me!”

Isadon:
It is a great perspective! His mind was just like that. What did he have behind such thoughts?

Yoshi-yan:
Self-hate?

Isadon:
Really?

Nao-chan:
He wanted to be accepted.

Nao-chan
Nao-chan

Isadon:
Is that so??

Tae-chan
He wanted everyone to do as he said?

Isadon:
Then, why did everyone have to do as he said? What would he seek if everyone does it?

Tae-chan:
His success??

Isadon:
Does he seek his own success here? What do YOU think, Shu-kun? At least, the answer is inside of you! If it does not come out from you, you do not recognize your emotions that come out inside of you, and express these as they are. However, you had a specific will as the base of your emotions. It would be helpful if you can confirm what your will was.

It does not seem like it comes out soon, so I am going to guide you a little bit. You expressed your thoughts very strongly in the beginning. After you expressed your real self, you have recognized you confused everyone.

Shu-kun:
Yes.

Isadon:
However, did you mean to confuse them?

Nobu-kun:
I think he had such an intention to want to confuse us.

Isadon:
Did he really have such an intention?? Was it his will? Don’t you project your emotions on him?

Nobu-kun:
Of course, I do. I can understand him only with my subjective viewpoint, so that is why I am saying this.

Isadon:
In fact, it would be better if you can graduate from such a stage. Now, it is important to stay with Shu-kun and think together here. Therefore, Nobu-kun’s theme is to transcend your own viewpoint. You have a tendency like when people have something in common with you, you feel relieved. Then, your emotions function more strongly. However, we need to reflect on Shu-kun’s emotions without projecting our own emotions now.

Nobu-kun:
How can we do it?

Isadon:
We can ask the person concerned. It is significant to ask Shu-kun directly, instead of making a judgment based on your viewpoint.

Nobu-kun
But, there must be a feeling that even the person concerned has not recognized yet.

Isadon:
That is why, guiding and analyzing him becomes staying with him. Right now, we are trying to understand his emotions. Therefore, if you overlap your emotions, you will not be able to see the truth.

Let me facilitate this space again. Shu-kun expressed his real self with a strong will in the beginning. Then, the place became chaotic. Looking at the chaotic situation, he realized that when he expressed his real self, he could bring chaos to the space. Also, this was not a good impression for him, so he became discouraged. However, did he mean to bring chaos to this place? What kind of intention did he have? Actually, I am asking Shu-kun, but he cannot get an answer, so let’s search for it together.

Ryoko-chan:
He wants to get connected with everyone.

Ryoko-chan
Ryoko-chan

Isadon:
Shu-kun, you want to get connected with everyone, don’t you?

Shu-kun:
Yes.

Isadon:
What is your purpose to get connected with everyone?

Shu-kun:
I want to create a better world!

Isadon:
Exactly! Shu-kun wanted to create a better place here. He felt this place was not set well from his viewpoint, so he wanted to make it better and get connected with everyone. Then, he took action. Was this bad?

Shu-kun:
It was not bad.

Isadon:
However, only bad impressions were left inside of you, weren’t they?

Shu-kun:
That is right. I received some feedback from other people like I was irritated and angry at that time.

Isadon:
Your original intention toward everyone was goodwill. Then, did everyone give you such feedbacks with malice?

Shu-kun:
It was not malice at all.

Isadon:
Shu-kun expressed his real self to improve the whole, but as a result, this place became chaotic. Then, everyone expressed their real self to improve it, too. I am facilitating this place now. Shu-kun expressed his real self with goodwill, and so did everyone else. However, what happened here in the beginning? Disharmony. Although everyone expressed their real self with goodwill, disharmony was created! Therefore, what should we see here? What should we see to create a harmonious world together?

It seems like you are taking an exam, isn’t it?

Kazue-chan:
We should see the “objective background” which is something behind his expression.

Kazue-chan
Kazue-chan

Isadon:
Hahaha. You used a high-level term that you have learned during the Truth School!

Kazue-chan:
I wanted to see the real intention behind his words.

Isadon:
If so, what will come into sight when we see Shu-kun’s, and everyone else’s, real intention?

Tae-chan:
The mind that wants to be in harmony with everyone.

Isadon:
Absolutely!! There is only goodwill to want to be in harmony with everyone. When we just see it, a place with goodwill will always emerge. However, unless all of you come to see the goodwill behind it, such a harmonious place with goodwill will not appear.

Well, we have reached the most important point! Thanks to Shu-kun’s reflection of getting emotional during the Truth School, we have reached a very important stage now. At least, the disharmony brought by him stemmed from his goodwill. Moreover, it is with goodwill that everyone else tried to improve the disharmony. However, as a result, a disharmonious place was created. Then, when we saw everyone’s original intention, all was goodwill. If there is only goodwill, a problem should not occur. Don’t you think?

Yoshi-yan:
People feel his goodwill is pushy? It is goodwill, but goodwill with malice? I do not know!

Isadon:
Is there goodwill with malice??

Yoshi-yan:
Even if it is goodwill, some can feel it is pushy, feel uncomfortable and get emotional, too.

Isadon:
It is a theory for receivers. When people receive it negatively, they feel like “your goodwill is mixed with malice!” However, when the original intention is goodwill, there is only goodwill. Nevertheless, why was disharmony created there? Let’s think about it together.

Toomasu:
What comes to me is an image. It is like here, we are in a circle. We are all holding a string to make like a web. We all have our intentions. But, when we interpret the intentions, we put vibration into the environment. And then, everyone else begins to interpret. So, maybe we think, “It is not supposed to be this way. We try to change it.” Only once we can be settled in ourselves and have a firm intention, then that can begin to reflect the environment. So, when we are set in ourselves, we are the pillar. We also can be the pillar for others. So, when we do not waver, we do not have to change the situation. We just need to be firm with our intention. And then, we can see harmony the way it is here.

Isadon:
Toomasu just told us the final conclusion! He talked about the 10th stage, which is the final conclusion. However, we are still at stage 2 or 3, and moving forward from here. Therefore, many parts are still missing in between so, we need to fill them.

Tae-chan:
When Shu-kun expressed his real self with goodwill and emotions, he did not think how everyone would feel about it.

Isadon:
In other words, he expressed his real self to create a better place, but he did not think of other people due to his strong thoughts. But, the important thing here is it is with his goodwill that he did it for this place. Then, even though it was goodwill, a seed of disharmony was sown here.

Kazue-chan:
Does it mean he was not considerate to everyone?

Isadon:
We can say that, too. Or, how was his attitude toward other people?

Tae-chan:
He was self-centered.

Isadon:
That is right.

Toomasu:
Through my experience with Shu-kun, I felt his sincerity. When we did the practice for the birthday party or the final party, or in our bedroom, or in the bathroom, I felt like you really wanted to share something positive. I also felt like it was kind of unsettled. So, you put it out there, but then you are not sure how it is going to be received and trying to make the corrections before you even know how the person feels. What I feel is “Oh, thank you!” but then, you do not know that I feel positive. I know we do not speak the same language, but I would like to say like “Yeah! It is good!” Just like in the bathroom. I felt like “Wow! I did not know that. Thank you for telling me!” But then, I also recognized you were upset with me. Or maybe, upset with yourself. So, even though what you started with was really helpful, it did not sit well. But, I could tell that you had a positive intention. So, when we talked about it, I could see what you meant. That is how together we could close the gap.

Toomasu
Toomasu

Isadon:
Toomasu came down from the top and talked with a level of language that we can understand!

Toomasu:
Yes! Now we met the 5th stage?

Isadon:
Still, there are many parts missing in between, so we would like close to the gap by the end of this program. Let me summarize the situation. Shu-kun was so eager to create a better place here that he expressed his honest self. His original intention was goodwill. However, he expressed his real self in a self-centered way, so everyone else could not accept that and this place became chaotic. Then, they expressed their goodwill in order to correct the chaos and improve the whole place. They might have thought Shu-kun was a troublemaker. That is why, they might have expressed their goodwill to make this place and Shu-kun healthy.

And now, Toomasu shared that Shu-kun is sincere and has a positive intention. However, as a matter of fact, chaos was brought here. Therefore, observing the chaos, he reflected on what he brought, and became discouraged. Then, after he learned, he came to a conclusion that he still should express his real self.

The real self that brought chaos to the whole was good will. So was his conclusion after reflecting and learning. When we fill this difference, we can put all the steps of the stairs from stages 1 to 10. What do you think??

(To be continued to the part II)

The Prayer

The Konohana Family members always pray before they eat. The following prayer came down to Isadon, the founder of Konohana Family about 10 years ago.

“The Prayer”

According to your will, According to your will, According to your will
I exist
According to your will, According to your will, According to your will
I exist
According to your will, According to your will, According to your will
I exist
That is because I am you and you are I
I do my best, hoping that all the people will become aware of your will
And a peaceful, calm and happy world will come to be
Infinite gratitude for an infinite you
Eternal gratitude for an eternal you
Amen Hands together

The explanation by Isadon:
In general, prayer is interpreted so that people put their consciousness toward the divine to gratify their desires. Or, the current situation of the general prayer is that people pray toward no specific target to gratify their desires that run through their minds.
On the contrary, the original prayer is to create a world with the universal energy creation behind our thoughts. The physics (vibrancy) of universal creation exists as the world. The universe (life) circulates, spirals, continuously changes, transfigures and transforms, and is always evolving. This is the same figure of us, the earth lives because of the universe itself is life.
Life (生命) is written as “living(生) life(命)” in Japanese. The Chinese character of 命 is interpreted not only as life (pronounced as Inochi), but also as God (pronounced as Mikoto). Therefore, life is the living God that has emerged in the phenomenal world. Distortion of the potential world (yin), where the original divine exists, emerges into the phenomenal world (yang), and this is how the world started to move. This is the origin of life in this world. Only when those who understand its physics, and offer prayer, can it become a true prayer and accomplish its purpose. For example, reciting the ancient Japanese Katakamana (the advanced universal physics that developed in East Asia about 13,000 years ago) song is the original prayer. Therefore, it is important to first enhance our spirituality, empty our thoughts and pray with an appropriate spiritual attitude.
As a result, the hearts of those who make a prayer will be polished beautifully. When the inner mirror of the person becomes beautiful, the structure of universal creation outside is reflected on the inner mirror. Then, inner thoughts resonate with the thoughts of universal creation, and contradictions disappear. And beautiful thoughts will be manifested in this world.
IT IS PRAYER.
People whose hearts have become beautiful reflect the divine physics on their inner mirror. When such people live, the divine physics spreads from inside to outside, and this world becomes beautiful. That is, reflecting on the inner mirror means that the inside and outside are combined as one mirror, and they resonate and echo with each other.

Let me explain each phrase of the prayer:

According to your will, According to your will, According to your will
I exist
According to your will, According to your will, According to your will
I exist
According to your will, According to your will, According to your will
I exist

“You” means the physics (the divine) of this world surrounding ourselves. It could be interpreted as the great universal law, the energy, the law or the divine. It is something that exists everywhere, resounds all over the universe, and operates this world. I declare that “I exist” according to the system of universal creation and the divine. At the same time, I also declare that “I do not exist (non-existence).” That is, the fact that I exist according to the way of universal creation means the pure figure of universal creation is reflected on my inner mirror. Therefore, the ego of myself does not exist inside of me. So, “I exist” means I exist according to your will and there is no “myself”. In short, it expresses “the divine with existence and the divine with non-existence.”
Reciting one phrase (According to your will) three times has a deep meaning, too. According to Katakamuna, “MI” means three. “MI” also indicates to be filled. Therefore, my will is absolute and solid. I reflect an original state as a mirror according to your will, the vibrancy of universal creation, the divine. That is why, there is no ego or self at all. And I am absolute and filled with such vibrancy. I recite this three times as a proof of my solid will. Reciting this three times and repeating it (According to your will, According to your will, According to your will, I exist) three times expresses the will of absolute of absolute of absolute. Repeating “absolute” three times means expressing insistently. Insistently means “Kudoku” in Japanese and “Ku” in Kudoku also means “Nine.” This is an absolute state, so when humans reach the state and receive life and food, it leads to “Ten” with a strong will. According to Katakamuna, “Ten” means integration and completion.

That is because I am you and you are I

“You” here means the energy of universal creation. You (the divine) is I. I am the universe and I am you, so I cannot distinguish myself from you. That is because there is no individual self. This indicates “That is because I am you and you are I.”

I do my best, hoping that all the people will become aware of your will
And a peaceful, calm and happy world will come to be

All humans will become aware of “your will” which is the energy of universal creation. When they become awakened, the human world will become unified with the divine world. “A peaceful, calm and happy world” means a heaven on earth, which is a utopia. It also indicates the world with the unity of the divine and humans. And I will live, hoping a peaceful, calm and happy world (the world of Bodhisattvas) will come to be. I will do my best, so I will make efforts. It is my will. This is determination and action (the unity of wisdom, will and actions) to live for the world and other people.

Infinite gratitude for an infinite you
Eternal gratitude for an eternal you
Amen Hands together

“Infinite you” means infinite universe (the divine) and “eternal you” means eternal universe (the divine). “Gratitude” here means joy of reaching its awakening and appreciating it.
The last phrase of “Amen, Hands together” indicates this prayer has nothing to do with any specific thoughts and beliefs such as religions.
Infinite gratitude, infinite Arigatogozaimasu in Japanese. Arigatogozaimasu means as follows: Ari; be, gato; difficult, u: the mystery of the universe, gozai; exist, masu; more and more—the mystery of the universe that is difficult to exist appears and this world is full of that. Therefore, when we humans become aware of the difficulty of existence, the mystery of the universe will be revealed in this world.
Eternal gratitude, eternal Arigatogozaimasu.
“Amen. Hands together.” The path that humans should take is one and the mind is one.
The physics of universal creation creates this world. When humans realize it, they will become beautiful, and manifest its physics in this world. As a result, the boundary among people will disappear and also the boundary between the divine and the earth will disappear. Then, the spirits of the earth will be unified with that of the divine, and they will create a utopia on earth together. This is the will expressed in this prayer.
