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.

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 🙂
