Caring for everything

(written Dec.28)

    In the old days, Japanese people felt spirits and fairies everywhere in their daily lives. In restrooms (water), kitchen (fire), drawing room with tatami mats (wood and grass), bathroom (water)…. mountain, river, ocean, forest…  Everywhere that was connected to the daily life, they felt that they were using the nature’s property and always feeling grateful and asking permission to the spirits who are looking after the area or the elements. They may not have seen the fairies but they knew they were there. It was natural to think that way and be in gratitude. Just feeling the invisible existence and caring for them is a higher state of spirituality than being a psychic.

     We really don’t have to think about the fairies nor send gratitude. Never the less, those who feels that asking permission to the nature spirits for letting us use the energy or the elements as a material, they do it naturally. They are affectionate people. Those who would naturally send gratitude to the invisible are those who are able to feel what others are feeling.    

     What we are feeling is also something invisible. Still the affectionate ones are able to care about other’s feelings. As a life partner, whom would you choose? A rationalist who will be grateful for visible things or a caring person who would also care for invisible things? 

     A relationship that is built by only corresponding to the appearances is somewhat truculent. I think that the old Japanese way, believing in seeing god spirits in everything (eight million gods) is highly spiritual.  We all came from the Root of the Universe. Thus seeing the fundamental god (the divinity/sacredness) in everything is possible. Everything is connected in a profound sense.

    In the toilet, there is a toilet spirit. It is true. When our sewage is disposed from our physical body that contains a soul (innate god), for a certain period of time, our spiritual energy remains in the sewage as well. A public restroom used by many people, the energy of all is accumulated and remains there for a while. Through a psychic vision, it looks like a small cloud or smoke floating in the air. It is possible that eventually it forms a figure.

     This is called bunkon (分魂) in ancient Shinto. It means that your spiritual energy could be divided and is a part of all. When you come to a realization of the miracle for yourself to be here today, naturally you become grateful to your ancestors.  If you cannot be appreciative about your ancestors, you lack love within yourself.

     Try to be conscious about it, be a pure honest person and be grateful to everything. Leave the energy of gratitude everyday in your daily life. The accumulation of that energy will for sure do you good later in life.

     I sincerely want to thank you for reading my blog throughout this year. I tried my best to make strenuous efforts and one year is almost coming to an end. I will enjoy the year 2011 in the same manner.

What is “Kami (god) ” ?

(written Dec.23rd)

    Today is the 77^th birthday of the Emperor. He is THE person who represents Japan of today. I am not an idealist and I am not so knowledgeable in politics. Simply through my spiritual perspective, I respect him deeply.

   From him, I feel precisely the scent of Shinkai (the World of Kami/Gods). It is a scent that I recall from the ancient times. It is a miracle that he exists as a symbol of Japan in spite of all the opposing movements against the existence of the Imperial Family. Amongst the generations of emperors, I sense that the present Emperor is one of the ten highest souls who descended from Shinkai in the past one thousand year.

    From the information I received through a revelation, the current Emperor is practicing the daily Shinto rituals more than any other emperors in the past several hundred years. He is the most simple-minded and honest-to-goodness emperor. I am sure his respected personality will be revealed in the later days from his close staff members.

    Why is the Emperor so serious about the Shinji (Shinto rituals)? It is because he is trying to know what kami (god) is?  He is very serious in trying to understand for the wellness of the country and the nation. It is very important and honest to think, “in truth I really don’t know what or who kami is?” Kami is something not easy to comprehend in a human level. It is not possible to hear a voice of a kami. If the voice you are hearing says he is a kami, most likely it is a spirit with an ego trying to manipulate you.

   If we were to ask the Emperor “What is kami?”, he　would be troubled. The reason is because it is an awful unexplainable existence that cannot be easily voiced. In Shinto, there is a word called kotoagesezu (言あげせず). It means kami cannot be explained, nor should it be imposed on anyone, nor advertised. It should be conceived by oneself, absolutely left to the autonomy of the individual.

    While many religious groups are advertising and making sale efforts, Ise Jingu is silently increasing visitors. Actually, I am sensing that Shinto shrines all over Japan are going through purification and regeneration. It proves that the great nature spirits are still alive here in our chain of islands.

     I understand there are many people who suffered from war and discrimination. All men should have equal rights. But on the other hand, we must understand that there are division of roles assigned to certain people. The Emperor was assigned to represent the nation to send gratitude to kunitama (the soul of a country) that has lead this country to go on for more than two thousand years. I am certain that if we loose the Emperor, spiritually, our country will have to face consequences. It may be an unscientific opinion. But such an adventure should not take place.  We have been experiencing historically, when the power of the Emperor is weakened, there have always been disputes below the surface. I sincerely believe that the two most recent emperors have put a great deal of effort in foreign affairs below the surface to maintain stability for our nation. The Emperor is only thinking about the people and what it best for the nation.  

    The year when the current Emperor was enthroned, a new type of rice had been discovered at the Ise Jingu Shinden (sacred rice field). And this was not the first time such miracles had happened connected to the enthronement. The Emperor is the tenson (天孫), the grandchild from the heavens. The birth of the new type of rice is one symbolic proof.

I sincerely wish longevity for our Emperor.

Turmeric helps Alzheimer's disease

    In 2004, the department of neurology of Kanazawa University published a thesis about the curcumin contained in turmeric being effectual to help cure Alzheimer type of senile dementia.

    Alzheimer is said to occur due to the amyloidosis beta (Ａβ). When this fibrillar amyloid plaques develop inside the brain, it becomes toxic and starts to kill the cells of the cerebral nerves. Until recently, scientists were not able to find a way to stop this expansion of toxin. However, Kanazawa University team had succeeded in the experiment of taking the curcumin out of turmeric and adding it into the solution that contains amyloidosis beta which made the plaques development stop.  In addition, when turmeric was administered to a brain cell that was showing an Alzheimer condition, not only did it stop the progression but also the fibrillar amyloid plaques had dissolved.





Now the team is suggesting curry for meals at nursing or retirement homes.

    It is true that in India, the percentage of people with dementia is extremely low compared to other countries. Moreover, the I.Q. test shows that Indians have a very high intellectual standard. I know the president of a software company. He tells me that the Indian engineers working for him in Japan has very high abilities. When you explain one issue, they seem to understand ten. Not only in math but they are very fast in learning the language.

    In Japan, the lower grades of elementary school only teaches multiplication of one digit up to 9x9. But in India, they seem to teach up to two digits, 19x19. Maybe we should recommend our children to eat more curry! Then their memory capacity may expand.






    But as they say “too much of one thing is not good,” there are different opinions about turmeric. Many say it’s good for the liver and some say it’s not good. So I went to do my own little research and found out that the autumn turmeric (common turmeric) has several times more curcmin than the spring turmeric (wild turmeric). Most of the data indicating that turmeric is not good for the liver was talking about the autumn turmeric that is very high in curcmin. The spring turmeric is low in curcmin but instead contain high levels of antioxidants.

     The science of anti-aging is really about the science of antioxidants.  Thus the spring turmeric is a high-potent item for your health in general. A website, Spring Turmeric Research Center (http://www.haru-ukon.com/- in Japanese only) tells about a research on a new perspective on cancer, the cause being a type of virus.  Showing their clinical data, they claim that the cancer is virus-based, and taking spring turmeric will increase one’s immune power and cure the disease.

    

    
Naturally a question arouses. If cancer is a type of virus would it be contagious? If the cancer virus is anaerobic (not needing oxygen), it does not infect through air. It may be contagious genetically or through the living environment.

    Now the issue is how much of the spring/wild turmeric should be consume? In my opinion, if you are under 20 years old, just eat curry once in a while. There is no need to take turmeric supplement. Healthy adult should take 2~3 tablets, three times a day. According to the Spring Turmeric Research, cancer patients should take 5 ~8 tablets, three times a day (3~6grams daily). One of the data in Germany says that the safe amount of consumption of turmeric is 1.5~3grams. So depending on your weight and condition of health, you should decide how much to take.

    Most of all, before taking any supplements, the important thing is to accumulate the ‘energy of gratitude.’  The magnetic-energy of gratitude is the most powerful source to change your life for the better. The daily act of gratitude sending to your ancestors will bring good fortune in many ways. So work on your power of gratitude. We all have the power to bring good to this world. Lets make it happen!

    Recently, some tensions are occurring in the international affairs. But I would say, with many of us working on the gratitude energy, the wind will blow in the right direction. The Emperor is working on the Shiho-hai (四方拝), sending gratitude for peace to the four directions daily. Let us do the same. Next March, another turning point may wave on us. Lets dive through it!

Know that you are not lacking anything

(written Dec. 13th) 

     This morning, the senses I was getting is that so many people are starting to have some breathing problem. Many reason for this, but the biggest part is that so many people are worried about their future. And that is causing them hyperventilation.

     Hyperventilation happens when you are unconsciously breathing in more that breathing out. Oxygen causes oxidization that is poison to a human body. Fighting against oxygen has always been part of the evolution of creatures on Earth. Excessive amount of oxygen is still poisonous to the system of our human nature. Oxidation kills the probiotic bacteria as well.   



So when you feel the anxiety:

1.     1. Make sure you tell yourself “Relax! It’s going to be ok.” And take a deep breath from your abdomen. Breathe out twice as much.  (Even when you are sitting, try to breath from your stomach.)

2.     2. When the breathing becomes difficult, use your hands and cover the nose and mouth. And breathe inside your hands. When you breathe in the breath you just exhaled, you are breathing in the carbon dioxide which will help you stabilize hyperpnoea. Your warm hands would help you calm down as well. During the winter, wearing a mask would not only help protecting from virus but also help you balance your oxygen and CO2 level while you breathe through it. The best way would be to carry a small paper bag. And breathe inside the bag.






      Hyperpnoea has symptoms such as; trouble breathing, shallow breathing, pain or pressure in the chest or heart area, dizziness, pulsation, numbness on arms and legs, light headed, fear of dying… etc. It all comes from anxiety that causes an unbalance in the autonomic nerves.

     The kotodama, ‘ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu’  and ‘amaterasu-ohomikami amaterasu-ohomikami ’ (twenty sounds) is the right vibrational energy that will bring you to stableness. The spring ukon (turmeric) and ginger will also help to balance the nerve system. Take five tablets three times a day.

     The lactic bacterium supplements such as Miyairi-san (clostridium butyricum) or acidophilus would increase probiotic bacteria in the intestine that is essential to increase serotonin in the brain. This would lead to balancing your nervous system. I believe in a long run, these natural products would be more effective than the western medicine that is a synthesized product aimed for specific illness.




     As the first cause of hyperventilation being the anxiety, the second cause would have to do with the electro-magnetic waves from the sun and the depletion of the ozone layer. At the same time, the unbalance of the geomagnetism seems to also be giving cause to the layers of air in our planet.  

     These days, I am sensing that oxygen shortage is happening even in flatland due to the sudden change in air pressure. Certain clouds are staying way too long in the sky, the pollution caused by the yellow sands from China… so many unusual phenomenons are happening.





      I am concerned with the lungs of the Japanese people. In the younger generation, tuberculosis of the lungs is increasing rapidly. If you are suffering from slightly high temperature and coughing for over a period, you should have your lungs checked. The earlier the better for your treatment and also to avoid infection.




     A light exercise is best to keep your nervous system in balance. I do a 500m pigeon-toed walk up the hill exercise everyday. I put my attention on the big toes and down towards heel as I walk. You don’t need to spend a lot of money. Simply drink a lot of distilled warm water(about 40℃), do light exercise, be in gratitude and send gratitude to your ancestral spirits. Do these daily and things will turn the right way. 


      Just like excessive breathing, the excessive thoughts thinking that you are still lacking something will actually become pollution to yourself. If you think you are unlucky, you need to correct your thoughts.

Warm distilled water as high as your body temperature will be absorbed most efficiently.

Probiotic bacteria is the key!

(written Dec.11th)

  This morning, the revelation was about “intestine.”  The content of the revelation was that “the intestine is the source of the brain function and lives are born inside the intestine.”

     It told me that the intestine was the hidden brain (second source). So I googled “Intestine, second brain” and I found several interesting theses on this subject.

   Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that is essential in the function of a brain. 95% of the serotonin is made inside an intestine. This means that when the intestinal activity decreases, the brain activity is weakened. The function of the movements of your hands and legs are also affected. Memory and thinking ability decreases as well.

　 When something very shocking occurs, people get symptoms like unable to walk or move properly. In such cases, when you go to a doctor, often they examine your brain. But I sense, that the hidden problem is the decrease of the probiotics (good bacteria) in the intestine.

   　　

  The revelation followed with an image of a gastrointestinal map. The brain is proven to show detailed functions tied with different parts of the body.  The same thing can be said with the intestine. The revelation tells me that the long intestinal tract has specific area that ties to specific function in some parts of the body. When the detail can be analyzed, a map of the function can be made. The image I was given showed something like… cancer in liver, stomach, chest… each organ has the point/area in the intestinal tract where the probiotics has disappeared and harmful bacteria are dominating. Even if for some reason, you had an operation to cut a part of your bowel, it still seems to cover the function as a whole just like how the brain works.

　  Then I remembered about the man called Kumagusu Minakata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minakata_Kumagusu). He had mastered many fields academically. And at the end went into researching slime molds/fungus and anti-shrine-consolidation protests for the nature conservation movement in Japan. Kumagusu had discovered ‘god’ in the fractal (having the absolute law within the unordered structure) movement of the fungus. I sense the same thing about the probiotics. Probiotics (good bacteria) = god’s will.

     To conclude, the probiotics within the intestine holds the fate of human lives. If you are doing something against your ‘good will’ (your spirit side/soul part of self) , some part of your intestine’s bacteria turns into harmful ones.

    A child often says he/she has a stomachache when troubled or worried.  I think this has to do with the good bacteria turning into bad ones. The body is giving a signal… ”no, don't go that way.” As we get older, we tend to grow ego and those senses we had as a child are weakened. As a result, the probiotics disappears from one part of the intestine which leads to decreasing tryptophan (essential amino acid) in one part of the brain. Then: 1. The brain will make wrong decisions. 2. Create illness in some part of the body.

　

     Therefore, consuming probiotics daily would be a very good idea. The traditional Japanese diet is made out of many kinds of fermented food that contains probiotics.  Miso, pickles, doburoku(unfiltered sake), soy sauce,  nattō (fermented soybeans), dried persimmon etc… these are all very good. Amongst these products, miso is exceptionally good. This is how the hikyaku (delivery guys in the old days) could run for over 60km daily. Probiotics gives stamina.    If you feel fatigue more than usual that means you have less probiotics in your intestine. And it needs to be increased.

     The problem is that when probiotics are taken from your mouth, half of it would be killed by your gastric acid.  Maybe if there is a way to inject through the anus that might be a possibility.  Actually, the probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria is also good for hemorrhoids.  It helps restoring the wounded cells.

     The probiotics could be the key to an evolution to the modern medical treatment. If someone could encode the map of the intestinal tract, which part is connected to which organ. Then such as in cancer treatment, the probiotics can be administered to that area in some way.

     Kumagusu was also a master in astronomy.  There is a link between the microorganisms and the universe. Our innate god = good will brings birth to the microorganisms/bacteria. The probiotic bacteria are the representatives of our innate god. And it can be practically applied in various fields.

I will be looking forward to the scientific evolution.

Think small. The affect will be grandeur.

   I often come to an understanding that each and one of our brains are connected to the entire universe. Both the front and the back of the universe.  I have written about the relationship between a human brain and the universe in the past (article:July 20,2009 and July 14, 2010)

　 We humans should look into and take care the details of our own daily lives. I often sense that this is the best way to affect the universe. People who are in the spotlight are often so concerned about the outlook and private lives are a disaster. When you become notable or famous, there will be so many allurements that could lead you to a wrong direction.

     You might be thinking you are working hard for the company or the society. But if your family has to sacrifice and creating an unhappy situation, you are not emanating good energy to the universe. Even if you are a low-income worker, if your intention is to take good care of your family with love, then you are doing so much better for the whole universe. If you are single, it is still the same. Leave the energy of gratitude, every step of the way. The vibrational magnetic-energy of gratitude will reach the universe with a positive affect. 

     Rather than thinking big, think small by taking care of yourself and close family. When you could satisfy your small world, you are actually helping the society spiritually. In order to acknowledge kami (god), there is no need to spend a lot of money in religious rituals and ceremonies. You will become closer to divinity when you spend your daily moments by trying to act through your own good will (= your innate god).

    It will be much easier and faster for you to accomplish small things than large things. And the truth is that, spiritually, there is not much difference. Even if it’s a small thing, when it is accomplished by your good will and dedication, at the end, you will reach the divinity. It will be valued as the same as the person who has accomplished in a larger scale and recognized.

    Looking from space, the amount of influence one human can give to the universe is not that different.

A hint to a healthy life

(written Nov.28th)

    This morning, the very end part of Ooharae-no-kotoba, the Grand Purification Norito Chant came to me. This norito is the only one that has a righteous vibrational energy translated into Japanese from shinkai, the World of the Gods.

「”早川の瀬”に坐す瀬織津比売（せおりつひめ）と言ふ神　大海原に持出でなむ　此く持ち出で”往なば”　　荒潮の潮の八百道の八潮道の潮の八百曾に坐す速開都比売（はやあきつひめ）と言ふ神　持ち”加加呑みてむ”　　此く加加呑みてば　息吹戸に坐す息吹戸主（いぶきどぬし）と言ふ神　根国底国に息吹”放ちてむ”　此く息吹放ちてば　根国底国に坐す速佐須良比売（はやさすらひめ）と言ふ神　持ち佐須良比失ひてむ　此く佐須良比失ひてば　罪と言ふ罪は在らじと　祓へ給ひ清め給ふ」

   The four red words are the names of the four deities who are the Haraedo-no-ookami, The Four Gods of Purification.  The names are Seoritsu-hime (sun deity), Hayaakitsu-hime (moon diety), Ibukido-nushi (fire deity) and Hayasasura-hime (water deity). In the past, I have explained the hidden meanings of this norito. But this morning, I received a revelation of another hidden meaning.

    The four deities and the sentences that go with them are showing the four steps of digestive function on a human body. By consciously using these four steps properly, one could purify his/her body and mind and perform a healthy life. 

First comes the sun deity who represents a normal blood flow. The sentence says, “the flow of the river is running fast (早川の瀬).” This means that the blood stream is running fast = normal. The second blue word “往なば(inaba)” and the rest of the sentence is explaining, once you have a proper fast blood flow then the next step of digestion is possible to take place. It is saying, without the proper blood flow, proper digestion is not possible.

   The third blue word, 加加呑みてむ(kakanomitemm) means absorbing through eating and drinking. And that is explained by using the moon deity. Only when the sun (normal blood flow) exists, the moon (nutrition absorption) can exist. It is metaphorically speaking about the digestive system (stomach and intestines).

   Next the fire deity (proper breathing) appears. It is talking about the necessity of proper breathing when the moon (nutrition absorption) is in action. It means, after a meal, in order to have proper digestion, a deep abdominal breathing is needed. The fourth blue word “放ちてむ (hanachitemm)” is signifying that within the deep abdominal breathing, the ‘breathing out’ is more important.

   When these steps are taken properly, the forth deity, Hayasasura-hime (water) will run the path smoothly. Hayasasura-hime (water) is a derivative of Susanoo and he shall take away all illness. 

Therefore:

1. Normal blood flow is essential. In order to have a normal blood flow, take distilled water all day (about 2L) and do enough light exercise daily.

2. In the norito, it says “荒潮（arajio = sea salt）の潮”. This means in the distilled water add a tint of sea salt. This is also important.

3. When you breath, be more conscious of the breathing out. Breath out twice as much than breathing in.

Our body is the vessel that holds our innate god = soul. We must take good care of it.

＊The date of the creation of norito chant, Ooharae-no-kotoba, is not certain but appears on a document as early as 676AD.
