And in the modern world, New Age spiritual teachings has been presented. The bottom of all this is the humanly desire wanting to attain happiness. It’s the fundamental humanly nature to desire a life with a peaceful mind. No matter how many techniques are presented, it cannot win over basic human acts like having mercy, kindness and giving love to others.&amp;nbsp; In a Buddhist, it is called compassion. This is the most powerful heart one could have. You will become a shinning mirror to others and to yourself. Any kind of powerful curse or black magic would be thrown off if you have true compassionate heart. And the curse will return to the sender and it will destroy the person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The above diagram is the Ying and Yang, the cosmic dual forces.&amp;nbsp; This idea came from the super ancient time in Japanese Shintoism. Izanagi and Izanami (like Adam and Eve) was the couple deity who had created all gods and goddesses and the materials in this world. This idea spread to China and became what is called Tao.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eMYWb82rlew/T0DMczcszEI/AAAAAAAAAI8/LIHas9z0lB0/s1600/b494b52cbf5ab1e6df71237a10db05cc_s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eMYWb82rlew/T0DMczcszEI/AAAAAAAAAI8/LIHas9z0lB0/s1600/b494b52cbf5ab1e6df71237a10db05cc_s.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;This stone is called &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;magatama&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;勾玉&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;) and it was discovered from the ancient burial mounds in Japan. The &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;magatama&lt;/i&gt; represents an embryo and also the polarity. This figure hides the secret of process of the formation of the universe, the latest physics discovery on symmetry breakdown, about time and dimensions, about the black hole… etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In a revelation, a deity told me to draw a line anywhere on the top diagram.&amp;nbsp; I drew a horizontal line. Wherever I make a line, the portion of the black part and the white part will always be different. However, the whole circle provides equal amount of black and white.   The same thing can be taught about life. We are all given equal amount of the Ying and the Yang energy. Your life will differ depending on where you draw the line. You are free to draw the line wherever you desire. But if you are able to draw the line just in the middle, your polarity will be in balance.  At some point in your life, you will have more Yang energy and at some point more Ying. But in total, it is balanced.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is the same idea as “the middle way” that Buddha had talked about. &amp;nbsp;In Shintoism, we have the same idea. It is called &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://dictionary-isehakusando.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;seichu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;正中&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;There is a secret to happiness in this middle way.&amp;nbsp; Life provides us many troubling matters. When you are troubled, don’t loose your patience and walk the middle way in a calm manner. Don’t forget to be an observer of your own life.  Ask yourself, what is the middle point of this matter? There will be an answer to happiness in this question. Even when you are sending gratitude, be conscious about the middle point of your mind. Then things will pass without any serious damage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3752458473594574032-8675239946057763585?l=isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/feeds/8675239946057763585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3752458473594574032&amp;postID=8675239946057763585&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/8675239946057763585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/8675239946057763585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/2012/02/drawing-line.html' title='Drawing a line'/><author><name>Sazareishi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15148647919007498808</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zWzQpZfn89k/T0DMVlVxbBI/AAAAAAAAAI0/MfNLVCRD8ro/s72-c/e077b4247f01aab18122029619b30f51.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752458473594574032.post-689069114509394776</id><published>2012-02-13T00:32:00.002+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-13T00:36:02.100+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothing is wasted</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Many people are having a hard time taking care of their aged parent(s).&amp;nbsp; Whether he’s your family or not, it’s always a very good thing to help another soul. The experience is a treasure that cannot be bought by money. Don’t be troubled by it. This would be the greatest chance to heighten your spirituality.&amp;nbsp; It’s a great chance for your innate god to grow bigger. And the grown light within you will save yourself one day when really need it. Just do what you can upon your good will. Even if you aren’t able to actually nurse your aged parent because of work or other situations, the fact that you think about them, and try to help in the best way possible will matter. That energy of your thoughts through your good will would matter. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There is a law of the circle. What you do always comes back to you. So if you didn’t take care of your parent, you will be alone having no one to take care of you at the end of your life too?&amp;nbsp; Well it’s not that simple. But every act and thoughts will eventually come back to you one way or another. In other words, even if you couldn’t help take care of your parent, if you had done good to others, your deed would be offset. &amp;nbsp;Not only the actions but also your thoughts would count as well.&amp;nbsp; Thoughts of kindness, gratitude, forgiveness will help reduce the affect from bad karma.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Every action and thoughts matters. In this world, nothing goes to waste.&amp;nbsp; The air is like a magnetic tape that records everything. Even the modern science cannot understand the efficiency of this amazing thing called “air.” It records all the visuals, sounds, scents, thoughts….&amp;nbsp; It saves everything perfectly. After taking action upon your good will, the second best way to offset your bad karma is to send gratitude to your ancestors on a daily bases. This is really powerful. It could also open up your future. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Even if you weren’t able to support your parents while they were alive, it’s still not too late. You could light an incense and send your gratitude to him/her. It will make a big difference. In the life after death, receiving gratitude from one’s own descendent is a great value. It is taken as a great virtue. This act of sending gratitude to one’s ancestors, the result cannot be proved. But even without any proof, if you still had the hearts to be caring and kind to the deceased, you would look like a &lt;a href="http://dictionary-isehakusando.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Miroku&lt;/a&gt; from the other side of the world.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;

This means that in Japan, we have four resets in a year. This spring, it is predicted that more than half of the large corporation’s will announce a great amount of debt.

I have been telling this over and over again. But it will become seriously critical at this point. If you focus your mind to the problems happening around you or keep comparing with others, you will suffer and experience difficulty. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Since the end of last year, we are experiencing record breaking snowfall. There is a god named Kimon-konjin (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;鬼門金神&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;) who lives in the North East area of Japan.   It is said that when he wakes up and becomes active that year will have great amount of snowfall. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The year with very heavy snowfall is when the gods are being active. One of the characteristics of such year is that some distinctive souls with important missions descend. While so many depressive news are going around, we can have great hopes for the children to be born this year. They will have great potentials for inventions and reforming the society in order to save the world. No matter how hard your finances are, if you become pregnant, I highly recommend you to have the child. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In Japan, the future government will invest more on childcare and human resources rather than in the battle of economy. Things will become more flexible in many ways. Don’t fall into the traditions, the old ways where everything was formatted. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The same thing can be said&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;  with the ancestral &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;kuyō&lt;/i&gt;. You don’t have to follow the traditional style any longer. Simply keep your ancestors in your mind, in your daily thoughts.&amp;nbsp; By the caring thoughts (=electro-magnetic energy) for them, your DNA will be merged and aligned with your ancestral spiritual force that would lead to the ultimate god who created everything.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In truth, as long as you live, you are actually experiencing everything together with all of your ancestors.&amp;nbsp; So don’t be afraid. All you need to do is to act upon your good will.  Eventually we will all return to our ancestors and to god. Lets have good hopes for the future. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This year, I sense that February 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; is the turning point looking from a spiritual point. We will continue to have turning points through out our lives, many mountains to climb.

When you look at an infant, it’s easy to see. In one room, there are many fun toys. One child is playing happily by himself. One child is crying without touching any of the toys. One child might be just chasing after other boys. They all act differently in the same environment. We all experience many different things in our lives. We tend to blame it on the looks, job, talent, destiny… but the real cause isn’t any of these. These factors are changeable. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Whether you are happy or not is determined by how close you live truthfully to your good will (innate god). Good jobs, good looks, etc., doesn’t make you change in a better way. That is an illusion.&amp;nbsp; No matter how many things you attain, your complaints and anxiety will not be erased. No matter how your situation is, if you are in harmony with your true heart, feeling grateful that you are led to live, you will be able to satisfy yourself.&amp;nbsp; And when you are in harmony with the goodness of your heart, you will attract true fortune. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When you acknowledge that you are “led to live” and not just the fact that you are living, things will turn even better. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Don’t stay busy looking around. Go dig into your inner truth. Then you will know what to do. Humans feel true satisfaction by giving to others and not by filling their own greed. The more you desire to attain and to win, the more you hunger and be restless. When your life is about how can I make other people happy, how can I help those who nee help… then your heart will be satisfied. There are limits to giving material gifts, but giving your good will, kindness is limitless and everyone has it. This is the Law of Virtue. Use is wisely. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Same thing can be said about your ancestors. You are not living alone. You are a representation of the numerous ancestors who lived before you. Your DNA is the evidence. It carries everything. You have inherited everything including the unsatisfied and regretful thoughts of your ancestors. But when you shine your light by being kind to others, not only you are saved but your ancestral spirits are finally able to elevate to the heavens. &amp;nbsp;The repetition of acting on your good will create an accumulation of positive magnetic energy field around you that would lead to opening up your path. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The point of today was about your life purpose being in harmony with yourself. Make peace with yourself by forgiving yourself and being grateful for your existence. Life is about change. Don’t worry. It will be alright.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #001768; font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3752458473594574032-5229337735440342651?l=isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/feeds/5229337735440342651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3752458473594574032&amp;postID=5229337735440342651&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/5229337735440342651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/5229337735440342651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/2012/02/life-purpose.html' title='Life purpose'/><author><name>Sazareishi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15148647919007498808</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752458473594574032.post-5971537664214736028</id><published>2012-01-26T18:12:00.001+09:00</published><updated>2012-01-26T18:23:35.773+09:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='namazu'/><title type='text'>Numazu?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This morning(Jan 25th), words came into my mind…. "Numazu=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;namazu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Numazu is a name of a town in Shizuoka Prefecture. The area was named Numazu because there used to be a lot of &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;numa&lt;/i&gt; (swamp) in the old days.&amp;nbsp; Spiritually speaking, I sense that in the super ancient time, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;kami&lt;/i&gt; had sealed a giant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;namazu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;(catfish) into this area. The revelation I received this morning was about this black giant &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;namazu&lt;/i&gt; breaking out from his sacred ground of Numazu before dawn and move towards Ise passing Nagoya. He is probably paying a visit to Ise (Amaterasu-ohomikami) before rising to the heavens. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Japan is a mystical country where spirits and fairies were believed to exist in the ancient times. It is a place where not only humans but also all kinds of animal figures were witnessed. The characters and habits of those creatures represented certain spiritual forms. So here, I’m not talking about an actual giant catfish living under the ground. It is a giant spiritual energy(=electric) form of a &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;namazu &lt;/i&gt;as big as the whole Numazu city. The shape looks a lot like the shape of the city as well. In the old Japanese saying, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;namazu&lt;/i&gt; is said to be in relation with earthquakes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For some reason, these spiritual creatures will become silent and still when people pay attention. When people start to forget about them, they start to become active. For this reason the Shinto shrines were built in every region, in order to silence the spiritual creatures that live in each area by people visiting the shrine and paying attention. In the same manner, it is a good thing to pay attention to your ancestral spirits. You will be able to observe yourself in a clam manner when you continue to pay attention to your ancestors by sending gratitude. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;The electro-magnetic field of the geostationary earth orbit is continuing a turbulence.&amp;nbsp;The biggest damage occurs to humans when it is unexpected.

One of the most important purposes of our lives is to learn about your true identity (innate god).&amp;nbsp; If you are facing a problem now, think that you are testing yourself unconsciously how strong you are on the maternal side (innate god). If you are bullied, think what you are supposed to be learning from this experience. What is life about? You are challenging your innate god. You need to protect your heart (innate god). And in order to do so, you need to become strong.&amp;nbsp; You cannot stay passive. You have to become strong as a demonic god to protect your heart from getting hurt.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;People say that the awakening is about recognizing the nothingness or the oneness.&amp;nbsp; But do these ideas help in raising a child? The important thing is to have compassion and kindness. This is the heart of god, the heart of Buddha. In real, we are here on a stage called Earth through the kindness of the greater existence. If it is true that nothing really exists, the phenomenon of birth will not occur. The fact that you exist today is the evidence of the love and mercy from the greater existence. If you’re practicing some religion or religious training that forces you to loose compassion or merciful heart, I suggest you stop it now. Through experiencing hardship in the daily life in actual society, compassionate heart grows naturally. This is the right way. A true spiritual training should be done in our normal daily lives interacting with the society. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The human soul chooses to return to do this inconvenient world, because&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;he wants to experience challenging and unexpected situations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;When you are not in this plane, in other words when you don’t have a physical body (=time) , the world appears exactly and directly from your consciousness.

You would wish for more stimulation. It’s like a drug and your ego becomes larger and larger. At the end, you will be destroyed by your own ego. So try to enjoy every experience. When you couldn’t really enjoy it, simply observe it in a calm manner because in this physical world, time is limited and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;all experiences are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;precious. You could try to avoid those experiences that hurt your heart (innate god) in order to protect it. The physical&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; body is a rental car.

As long as your goal is to be awakened, you are distancing yourself from it. Awakening should not be the purpose. Same thing can be said about happiness. If you could simply be grateful in what you have today, you will realize you are already happy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You have a spiritual connection, perhaps a fate, in where you are and what you are doing now. Simply devoting on the work in front of you is the key to recognize happiness in one’s life. Don't think too much and just devote. Happiness and good fate will "come" to you (rather than trying/going towards it).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

The world of nature is in an interdependent (a mutually advantageous) relationship. Even in the human society, we are interdependent. The society is comprised with the weak ones and the strong ones. When the guy who all thought was a burden to the company had left, the business started to go down hill. Or the old grandpa who was troubling the family had died, and all the sudden the children seem to act differently towards their parents. Sometimes, the unexpected could be the key in holding things together. And most of the time, people don't realize it until they had lost it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are numerous cases of interdependence in our society   that we are not aware of.&amp;nbsp; When we are not aware of it, we might loose it without knowing what it was. This is scary. That's why it’s good to always have in mind, that we are led to live even though we don’t know what is leading us to live. &amp;nbsp;In Japanese, there is a word we often use, “&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;okage-sama-de&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;お陰さまで&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;)” (which is close to the meaning “Thanks to you… ”&amp;nbsp; but it's doesn’t necessary mean “you” in particular. It’s more like "thanks to everyone/all the help including the unknown." &amp;nbsp;O&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;kage &lt;/i&gt;literally means shadow). &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The divine spirit tells me the extinction of the honeybees could lead to food crisis, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;that the humans are aware only a very few percent of the interdependence of the nature’s world. This is a fearful fact. The human race is running a race with blindfolds.

The most important thing in life is ultimately love, kindness, caring heart, and being thankful. Until you realize the importance of these states of mind, you will come across many obstacles of doubts. As long as you live, problems will continue to occur and you will have to face them. But after you have realized the importance of these states of mind, the amount of pain or suffering will be lessen. This will determine the degree of happiness in one’s life. And even after death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;　　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;I was eagerly doing a research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;on the electro-magnetic solar waves and accidently discovered the correlation between the sun activity and earthquake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;I think this could also be called serendipity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Talking about the sun activity, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;yesterday, according to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;, the geosynchronous orbit electron had turbulence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://seesproxy.tksc.jaxa.jp/fw/dfw/SEES/Japanese/Data/docs_ja/ETS8/ETS8_DataGraph.htm"&gt;http://seesproxy.tksc.jaxa.jp/fw/dfw/SEES/Japanese/Data/docs_ja/ETS8/ETS8_DataGraph.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;This &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;may cause an earthquake sometime this afternoon to tomorrow.

Once you have come into this life, your past life has become the past. Your past life has been completed and ended. You now have to focus on this new given limited life . And you can walk it through freely in the way you want. There is no need to chain yourself to the past. Self-pity, selfishness, vanity … there are all egos that are imprisoning  yourself. Only when you start to become aware of your divinity (innate god), you will be saved. It was there from the beginning. You simply have to come to realize it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Thank you for this year.

This is the deep truth when you look at life in a spiritual way. You cannot recognize this truth when your mind is clouded. Everyone around you, including your family is like a mirror showing the truth of the in-motion part of who you are. The shrine, the altar, the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;yorishiro&lt;/i&gt; and everything around you are the reflection of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;the motionless part of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;who you are.&amp;nbsp; Ultimately, this world is all designed for you to find the truth (innate god) of yourself. As you grow old and the ego grows as well, you start to distance yourself from the truth (innate god). And you start to compare yourself with others and worry what others might be thinking. When you do this, you are distancing yourself from your innate god (the maternal spirit) which will create feelings such as dissatisfaction, anxiety and/or sense of starvation in your daily life. &amp;nbsp;No matter how many material things you possess, you are still not fulfilled. For those who are in this state of mind, stop comparing with others and simply find the gratefulness in your present situation.&amp;nbsp; There are unfortunate people who had died wishing they had lived longer. Yet you are here and alive. Recognize that you are already blessed for just being alive. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;    &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; When you leave this plane, your ego full of desires  and the eternal innate god will be separated. Only in this material/physical dimension, you are one with god. So always try to be conscious about your innate god and do your best. Challenge your life in anyway possible. It is only in one limited period in the cycle. So do as much as you can. There are no mistakes and no success. The time will always move on. The experience remains. The experience is always remembered. And when you look back, no matter how tough and painful it was, the memories followed by your good will is treasured and becomes the shinning light.

As I was watching the mountains passing by, suddenly the word &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;mizu-gami&lt;/i&gt; (water deity) came into my mind. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;From now on, water=money seems to be the equation. We use water for everything, even when flushing the toilet. It’s a matter of course but it shouldn’t be taken for granted. You must acknowledge the value of it, how grateful we are having water in the way we use it daily in such a great amount. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Simply be grateful to the water whenever you use it. Just this simple act would make a difference. If you take it for granted, your luck for money will decline sorrowfully.&amp;nbsp; And if you are already suffering from having not enough money, try being grateful every time you drink a glass of water or use water in anyway. The water you touch is spiritually a gold. I am not exaggerating. It is a treasure. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In Japan, the biggest natural resource is the natural mineral water. Spiritually speaking, Japan is a place full of gold. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;When I think about the water deity, unexpectedly, the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Taka-no-miya&lt;/i&gt; of &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Ise Jingu&lt;/i&gt; came into my mind. The &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;mizu-gami&lt;/i&gt; lives right beneath this shrine. It is a small hidden shrine but it actually represents the water of Japan. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; According to the revelation I received, the underground water is disappearing all around the world and many cavity is created which will eventually lead to a collapsing of the ground.

Spiritually speaking, there is a big difference whether you are consciously aware of the value or not. Looking from the material world point of view, water is just water and it doesn’t matter how you use it. But from the invisible world, there is a big difference. It can be said in everything for that matter. Even when you consume something, whether it is an animal or a plant, you are taking their life. You must be thankful for them. In the future, there will be a time, when you take these things for granted it will turn into poison. No matter how rich you are you cannot buy the life force. No matter how poor you are if you could have the sense of gratitude in everything, you can be hopeful. The Good Will shall be the judge in the coming era. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none;

It’s not a destiny. It had to do with her own will and desire. If she hadn’t chosen to be involved with a married man, her future would have been different. Every action you take in the now moment is accumulated to build up the future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #ca2c24; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;It all depends on what you decide NOW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;. And the future will start to change accordingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;A Japanese lottery called Lotto 6 started several years back. I experimented to see how my psychic vision could read the numbers. I didn’t actually pay for it, but just wrote the numbers that came into my mind. I did it for a while to see the trend. And I realized that the exact six digit numbers I wrote down had won few weeks later or sometime in the past. It proved me that the past, present and future is moving in parallel. The set of numbers are flying around from the past to the future and not always can it be set on a fixed date as one could imagine. In the world of Zen, they say that the only existing time is this moment. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When I look at the future of the people, I see many large wheels like you see on the Buddhist literature. Everyone has a wheel, some have larger wheels than others. The number of wheels differs too. The wheels are in gear with each other like the clock ticking and turning around to create one life. The size and speed of the wheel would change according to your will and efforts. How much you care for others. How much you care for your ancestors (DNA). These factors will also influence your wheels a great deal. &amp;nbsp;I’m trying to say that your destiny is all up to you. Your life span will change as well. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I strongly sense that the primary factors that determine your life are your effort and the care for your DNA (ancestors).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Look at one tree. The part that is visible, the part above the ground is your life. The part that is invisible, the root, is much longer than the actual tree. The root is the ancestral (DNA) part of you. The tree cannot live without the long roots. It is alive because of the roots. The root also provides the water (the essential energy that runs through the spiritual pipeline) for us to live. We are not living our lives alone. We are living together with our ancestral family.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Our ancestors left us some traces. Some characteristics, desires.. and we inherited those qualities. There might be ancestors who had unpleasant desires. There might have been some children who died young and had the desire to live longer. Our souls are all connected to these roots and as long as you are alive, these remains of their desires influence you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001e61; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;By acting on the gratitude sending way of ancestral worship, you will start to connect to the root of the root passing your ancestral spirits. The root of the root is the sacred place where you meet your own innate god. Once you bond with your own innate god, your future will change greatly to a better one. So I suggest not to believe in fixed destiny, but to believe in ancestral worship by sending gratitude daily.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'ＭＳ 明朝'; font-size: 16pt;

font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; People may be troubled by doubts. “What am I suppose to do now?” “Is this really the right thing to do?” “Am I certain about this decision? Maybe there is something else I should be doing…”&amp;nbsp; No matter how many friends you ask to seek an answer, you cannot be certain. That's because future is a blank sheet of paper. The only truth is what you are experiencing right at this moment. Fate is about the past. It’s the result of the path you took. But is the future also on the same path, one line? No, it doesn’t have to be on the same one line. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To explain this, a divine spirit gave me a vision of a process of twisting fibers to make one thread.&amp;nbsp; There are five thin fibers to make one thread. The five fibers are spreading out like different paths of the future. When we twist these fibers it makes one thick thread.  The part that is already twisted and became a thread is the past. The yet spreading fibers are the future. And the point in the middle is the present. We are constantly twisting the fibers, always in the process. Which five fibers becomes the main path is up to your choice. It’s not decided for you. It's blank. There is no fixed destiny. It's all up to your will.  (Whichever path you choose, the rest of the path will be interwoven and absorbed in one thick thread. It’s just not significant but it's there. )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So just keep focused on the now moment. That is all you can do. There is no point in doubting and questioning. Simply do what you think is best in twisting the fiber to make the thread. There are no mistakes. The continuing now moments creates the future. It’s unnecessary to check the woven past. It will only make you tangled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001a78; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are no Heaven’s will. You were born as a perfect and free divine soul. All you need to do is to acknowledge this truth.&amp;nbsp; If there is a Heaven’s will, it is to simply twist the fiber, to focus on the now, and live your daily life. &amp;nbsp;The only truth is what you are living at this present moment. Even the present is something you cannot enjoy continue to twist the fiber.  It will always change. At some point a better situation will come. If you look at others, the twisting will tangle and may take more time to fix it. So simply focus on what you are doing now. Be grateful for what you have. And create your one and only thread. This is the only way to build up a good life. Treasure what you have now in front of you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;

&amp;nbsp; The Japan Meteorological Agency announced an earthquake prediction in the area offshore of Miyagi Prefecture. They say there is a 15.1% chance of M7 level earthquake occurrence between now and December 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. They have publicized the warning with the Earthquake Prediction Committee.&amp;nbsp; The people living in the stricken area must continue to be cautious.&amp;nbsp; The agent said, “In the past thirteen years, offshore of Miyagi has experienced four earthquakes over magnitude 7. This occurrence rate of 15% is higher than the past prediction rates. The agent has also mentioned that they have been announcing the prediction rate for three days in advance right after the March 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; disaster. However, they stopped publicizing the report after May since the prediction was showing under 10% ”.&amp;nbsp; The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan&amp;nbsp;has announced that after the Tohoku earthquake disaster, the only area that showed a rebound from the subsidence of the ground is Tokyo. Through out Miyagi to northern Ibaragi on the Pacific Ocean side, only 20% of the ground is showing a rebound. The rest still remains the same. The shoreline of Iwate is continuing the subsidence. According to a calculation of recovery, the approximate 1.1 meter of subsidence in Oshika district of Miyagi will take 990 billion years. At Soma district of Fukushima, the subsidence is approximate 31 cm. This is calculated to take about 1.7 million years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #632423; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;【&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Asahi Newspaper 2011.11.19 morning edition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #632423; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;】&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;（&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;my comment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Yesterday, there was a magnitude 5 at northern Hiroshima. Earthquake rarely occurs in this area.&amp;nbsp; This area is one edge of the Eurasian Plate. Until now, the earthquake was occurring at the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate areas. And now the Eurasian Plate area is also starting to make a move. This is a beginning of a new level of Earth shift.   We have to consider the crushing activity that might occur between the Eurasian Plate and the Filipino Plate. The Chain of Islands of Japan is a rare place where four huge plates come together. This only happens in Japan. This is where the Earth plays the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Shiko&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;four&lt;/b&gt; legs stamping the ground in &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Sumo&lt;/i&gt; wrestling)&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Shiko&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;四股&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;) derives from an ancient Shinto ritual. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The stamping of the feet purifies the earth ground so the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;shinki&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;神気&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;), divine energy, is able to be erupt. &amp;nbsp;The earthenware from the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Kofun&lt;/i&gt; Period (300~700AD) has left us some traces about the ancient Shinto believing that from the cracks of the earth the divine breath of the gods erupted.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; From the very ancient times, cracks in a large rock or the ground were considered a sacred place. They created a shrine and sent blessings to the place. The “crack” or a split was considered a symbol of a female. It shows the idea of strong goddess worship in Japan. The Chain of Islands of Japan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;stands on top &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;of four “cracks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;” It is a mother earth that gives birth to many. I sense that this idea will bring great invention in the future. The shape of Japan is a large dragon. The entire area is a sacred land.&amp;nbsp; It is also similar to the curvy shape of a &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;shimenawa&lt;/i&gt; (sacred straw ornament hung over the entrance of a Shinto shrine).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;All people who live on this land should be sending gratitude to this land. It's not a religious act. It’s a spiritual act to acknowledge the Earth as a living organism. And I think it’s only natural to say thank you for letting us live. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The borders of the four plates that I see through my psychic eyes are different from the scientific one shown on the map.   With my vision, the four borders are right beneath Japan. One of the most important crack/border is where &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Ise Jingu&lt;/i&gt; is located. The breath of the gods erupts from the earth at this point. The last empress &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Yamato-hime&lt;/i&gt; who founded &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Ise Jingu&lt;/i&gt; must have felt the divine breath on this land.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Japan Meteorological Agency announcement mentioning about the prediction rate being higher than normal is a warning that we should pay attention. The Eurasian Plate has started to move. This means not only in Japan but China and Europe need to be cautious. From now on, always have the disaster awareness in your daily life. The areas that rarely have earthquakes may be stricken as well. Set the tools to hold your furniture. Consider where your bed is located and prepare for safety.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #e18234; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I would like to spread the Gratitude Awareness towards ancestral spirits and everything around us so 5% of the world population&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #e18234; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;will start acting on it on a daily basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3752458473594574032-7310173020747989551?l=isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/feeds/7310173020747989551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3752458473594574032&amp;postID=7310173020747989551&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/7310173020747989551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/7310173020747989551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/2011/11/shiko-stamping-on-sacred-ground.html' title='Shiko stamping on the sacred ground'/><author><name>Sazareishi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15148647919007498808</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tdGtpDAKRAE/TtDT1m_WfXI/AAAAAAAAAH0/AB7gCqdm848/s72-c/800px-Plates_tect2_en.svg.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752458473594574032.post-7730049541665520860</id><published>2011-11-11T20:45:00.001+09:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T17:49:07.334+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Enjoy all process of life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;If you think your life is hard that is a false thought. It’s actually a precious experience. It’s because time will pass and things will eventually change and come to an end. When you look back in the later days, you’ll know that those days were most valuable and be thankful you had the experience. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;You’ll see that your soul was glowing in those days.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I came into this life with memories and consciousness from the life before birth. I also have memories from 0 yrs old. When my family talk about the old days, the details about the home we use to live in, I’m always the one who remember the most. My parents often told me that they were worried about me because I didn’t learn any Japanese until age 3. I was speaking some foreign language that they couldn’t understand. It sounded a little like Hindi, they said. I still remember those days, how irritating it was. I was trying very hard to resonate with Japanese but the words that come out from my mouth was from my past life. I was left-handed at birth, but was forced to correct using the right hand before entering elementary school. Around that time, my language from the past life started to disappear from my memory.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; From the time I was a baby, just gazing the things around me, until now with my middle age body, my heart remains the same. The core is still the same, no development and no decay.&amp;nbsp; It has some filth from the outside knowledge of today but the eyes of the heart remains unchangeable and definite.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; After the death of this lifetime, my ego is lost and my heart will still remain the same. I know it because I remember my heart still remains the same from my past lives. It is the same with you. Your memory is blocked. That's all. Once you leave this plane, you will remember.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;            &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Your heart is a never changing place.

When you are on the other side, you know you are stuck with your ego from the previous life. You realize that you have limited yourself from freedom. You are stuck in a certain dimension where all the people who had the same ego come together. Some people called that place a hell (from now on, this system too will change).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is no one to judge you where to go. By a gravitational pull, you naturally gather together with those who have the same type of ego residue. This is absolutely the at most fair treatment. This world of reality that we live in is the only place where all kinds of souls have a chance to gather. That's why it’s so valuable. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is the goodness, the positive part exists in all human beings once the ego part has been removed.&amp;nbsp; One part of you is the ego part. This part will change all the time. And humans make efforts to change it for the better. Efforts are necessary on this part. The other part of you is the true-self.&amp;nbsp; This part is perpetual and unchangeable. So in a deeper sense, you are who you are and you don’t have to try to be someone else. This part doesn’t have to be changed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #b80000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Therefore the effort is unnecessary on this part.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; It’s important to acknowledge there is two parts in you. And &amp;nbsp;to figure out the true essence of self and the ego part. We were determined to let go of our egos this time. We told ourselves, “this time I’m really gonna make it.”&amp;nbsp; So all the hardships you are experiencing today, is for the training for you created by yourself in order to lessen the ego part of self. It’s a chance for you to grow. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Observe the matters in a calm manner as if you are a god. And enjoy the hardships! It’s all for the better. Once you are able to enjoy everything, the fog will be cleared. And another fog might come around later in your life. But the physical body is going to disappear at some point anyways. So know that there is nothing to worry about. There will always be an end to all matters. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;

That's why they worry about what others might be thinking. Somewhere in your heart, you feel that you are not good enough. That's why you always carry anxiety and fear for making a mistake or failing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But if you could strongly look at your life from a point of gratitude for being alive, you will realize that there are no mistakes. Even mistakes are merely an experience. And experiences can only be experienced because you are alive. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;  &amp;nbsp;Imagine if your doctor told you that you have to spend the rest of your life in the hospital. You will probably envy a friend who talks about a heartbroken relationship that she just experienced. Whether it’s sad or happy, it’s all an experience. And you would wish you could experience any of it. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When you look at life from a point of life&amp;amp;death, you will know that every moment has its own shinning light. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Lets imagine a little more. A mother and child get into an argument. Sometimes you might hate the child so much you wish they would just disappear. But the experience can only exist because you have a child. For those who couldn’t have a child, this problem is an envious one. If you knew your child might die tomorrow, you probably wouldn’t have fought with him/her. You might be tired of looking after your parent and wish you can sever the relationship. Even those stresses will be a good memory when you become your parent’s age. Your problems at work would be an envious thing for those who lost their job. Everything happens in a limited time frame. It will always end at one point. And every problem exists because you are alive. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You might be experiencing extreme hardship and you wish you are dead. But you also have to realize that you had chosen to be born to experience the hardship. You knew that you needed to experience it in order to grow as a soul/spirit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;    &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is no change, no experience in the life after the physical death. So in this limited time, experience as much as you can. Know that you wanted all the challenges and you had chosen this life. And you are still in the process of experiencing the challenge. No matter how miserable it seems, don’t forget your innate god is watching you and experiencing it together.&amp;nbsp; As long as you are doing your best, there is no mistake, no failure. &amp;nbsp;As long as you are alive, there is still a chance for you to grow. So don't worry too much and just do your best to try and keep your light shinning. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;When you were a spirit without the physical body, you wanted to come to this world to challenge again. Those souls who thought they could handle a lot in one lifetime, gave themselves many hardships in order to achieve a greater growth.   But once he was born, he had forgotten about his plan and becomes overwhelming. He doesn’t remember that he planted the seeds himself, and he thinks he is unlucky or ill-fated. He also compares his life with others and feels sorry for himself. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Don’t try to run away from your problem. 1. Know that the challenge is for your own growth. 2. Know that your good will is tested. 3. Know that your soul is watching how well you are able to deal with the situation. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;   Don’t run away from your problems but you can avoid unnecessary troubles.

Don’t put up an incense because you are suffering and in need of help. It has to come from your genuine caring thoughts. When the energy of your kindness is emanated, the energy is reflected back to you. But it has to be an honest pure minded act. In other words, you created your own luck. Everything that happens in your life is created by yourself. The cycle of energy does not end in one lifetime. It continues to come around even in the life after death. The good will would become the most precious treasure. So stay positive and just do what you can.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001150; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3752458473594574032-8221665622343231495?l=isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/feeds/8221665622343231495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3752458473594574032&amp;postID=8221665622343231495&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/8221665622343231495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/8221665622343231495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/2011/11/there-are-no-mistakes.html' title='There are no mistakes'/><author><name>Sazareishi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15148647919007498808</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752458473594574032.post-8297492528143120744</id><published>2011-10-29T15:18:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2011-10-30T09:21:07.178+09:00</updated><title type='text'>It’s all up to you</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 24px; line-height: 36px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Once you are born, you will certainly die one day. We are always walking in between birth and death. It’s really unnecessary to be in distress. When you die, it’s all going to dissipate. So why waste time in troubling yourself? We might as well enjoy every aspect of life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Life is full of unpleasant matters, sorrow and anguish. That is true. But even these things will eventually change and come to an end. If you could just laugh it off, you are a strong person who has won over your own karma. You will become an enlightened being. &amp;nbsp;You can’t just pretend to look good in front of others. Even in your alone time, if you are able to be in gratitude and feel blessed, then you are a winner. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Come to a realization that everything is merely an experience. Then your life will glow. You will grow and evolve as a human being, when you are able to see everything from the point of “thank you for letting us live.” Your path will turn around to a better direction. There is a Japanese saying, “a dog only has to walk around and it is sure to come across a stick.”&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You’ll only come across lucky findings when you realize that there are no mistakes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It’s also true that this way of looking at life would actually solve problems faster. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;Going to a hospital for an annual check-up always makes me feel humble. I see all kinds of drama, life while I wait for my turn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;Imagine your doctor had told you that you would only live for another month. All the things you did in the past will probably flash in your head. And start to be grateful for many things. You would probably remember about someone who you need to apologize to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Don’t stay in agony for too long. Don’t blame yourself too much. Don’t say bad words. If you had decided to only say positive words aloud, your luck will change. If you seriously act on this, it will be enhanced on your karma for sure.&amp;nbsp; When you put your thoughts into words and say aloud, it’s like you have pushed the discharge button of a missile. You might have bad thoughts toward some person, but when you actually say it aloud or write about it, you have pushed the button. If the opponent didn’t accept the energy, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;it will come back to you right away and turn into a self-destructive bomb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;. If it had reached the opponent and hurt him, the karma will come back to you sometime later. This is one law of the universe. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;

There will be no mistake in saying this not only in this lifetime but becomes an eternal passport.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt;

In China, h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;alf of the population of a small mountain village of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d;

168 residents of this village had claimed that suddenly they couldn’t eat four legged animals. They simply don’t feel like eating them. And when they force themselves to eat, they get symptoms such as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;heart pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;, rashes, diarrhea or nausea. &amp;nbsp;Some claims that they cannot eat common meat such as beef, pork and ram. And others claim, they couldn’t even eat small four legs such rabbits and dogs. When they have the urge to eat meat, they eat chicken or fish and they have no problem eating those. Ram farming is one of the major operations in this village, but many people no longer consume it but rather put it out on the market. Some of the younger ones from the village go out to work in the city. Once they leave the village, that disease disappears after a certain time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;But when they return home, the symptom comes back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;The China News reported that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;the government is trying to investigate the cause.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;（&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Search News October 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;,(Fri) 17:10 reported by:Hayato Kisaragi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #62100d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;My comment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;I’m not sure how accurate this information is, but the phenomenon is very close to the revelation I received in the past about the coming of the Days of Miroku. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;What caught my attention is;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;1.

When living in the mountain surrounded by nature they couldn’t eat the four legs. But when they moved to the big city, it became all right. This is an interesting phenomenon. The government is currently checking on tap water pollution. But in my opinion, the energy of the city puts a lid on one’s soul. So you become less sensitive to the environment. In other words, to be in touch with the energy of the great nature will help you maintain your true heart (senses from the soul).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;The phenomenon that makes people feel all right about eating meat once they enter a big city, has a commonality with feeling all right to commit war or a crime. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You don’t have to stop eating meat right away, but I think, if you pay attention, it will come to you naturally to what your body is in need and not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;When I have an opportunity to dine out and the food is ordered together with a group, I will try to eat chicken rather than other types of meat. Talking about beef, there has been much news about food poisoning at Korean barbeque restaurants in Japan.&amp;nbsp; This is some kind of sign as well. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is a relationship between you and the food. It is important to sense what your body is urging. If you feel like you need to eat a certain type of meat, then your body is in need for it. And you should eat it. There are elders who lived very long and stayed healthy who had the urge to eat steaks once in a while. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;From now on, I feel that the necessary type or quality of protein is going to change. Another concern is that the large four legged animals are consuming an enormous amount of grass that grows on the ground. The signs of the body that is telling you to stop eating meat, is when you start to have loose stools or diarrhea. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sending daily gratitude to your ancestors (caring for your DNA) will also help you to sense the right food for yourself. Taking meals are a very important and sacred action to nurture you mind and body to become one. Listen to your body for what he/she is wanting. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 28.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;In October, every morning start with disaster awareness.

We wear things made by someone else, talk other people’s words and use mathematics that was invented by someone else. What I’m trying to say is that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;we are constantly receiving things from others&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;. And it is a wonderful feeling to be able to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;give back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; to that enormous fountain made from human intelligence and experiences.”  &amp;nbsp;I feel that this statement of Jobs implies the problem the world is going to face soon and it also shows the answer to the solution. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The current tax system in the US seems to be preferential to the wealthy group. At the same time, it is said that the actual unemployment rate is much higher than the percentage publicly announced. Many of the modern day people are deluded that by having a lot of paper money, they possess other people’s mind, body, pride, labor, materials…&amp;nbsp; Jobs had an immense wealth but he knew that he really didn’t possess any of it and it’s all an illusion. He knew that if he received something from others, he should give back in return. His annual salary from Apple was only $1. His total estate is estimated to be $7 billion. He made great success in the Disney animation business as well. If he was a greedy entrepreneur, he could have made ten times more. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;When I look at him with my psychic vision, I see a unique god spirit related to Judaism. The unique character of this figure is in the head. This spirit showed a vision in his brain. He interpreted it and invented into the most advanced technology. He had an image many people couldn’t understand. It must have been very difficult to work with him. I can see why many of the technicians left him because of that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7b0907; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;If he had known how to get rid of these deep-seated grudges, he could have lived much longer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;(the key is to have mercy, gratitude and the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;yorishiro&lt;/i&gt;*). The Talmud text of Judaism is deeply imprinted in his DNA. I don’t know if he had read the Talmud, but his DNA carried the knowledge. If he had ever visited the outer shrine of Ise Jingu, he would have recognized the existence of the god spirit behind him. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Talmud text is said to be the secret that brought out the most Nobel prize winners and one of the richest people in the world. The recitation of this text since childhood is said to bring out the highest talent and wisdom into one’s life. Some examples of the teachings are “Being unconfident of oneself is like stealing something from oneself.&amp;nbsp; ” “True opposition is about fine competitors working hard as a friendly rivalry. And this is a necessary factor in a society.” “There are three things that hurts people; anguish, argument and an empty wallet. Out of the three, an empty wallet hurts the most.” “There are eight things that must not be over&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;exceeded; traveling, sex, money, work, alcohol, sleep, drug, spices. ” “A flexible tree does not break but a stiffened tree will break.” “Pigs eat too much, suffering people talks too much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; “The wise man knows what he is talking about, but a foolish man talks about what he knows. ” “Money can buy everything but a good sense.” “When a flour dealer fights with a chimney sweeper, the flour dealer becomes black and the chimney sweeper becomes white. ” “Scratching an itchy part and borrowing money are only a temporary stopgap.” “Even if your close friend is sweet as a honey,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; you shouldn’t lick it all. When a friend is angry, don't try to pacify. When a friend is in sorrow, don't try to comfort. Rumor is the best introduction and facial expression is the worst informant. Jealousy has a thousand eyes but none is seeing correctly. Walk towards a marriage but run towards a divorce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; ”&amp;nbsp; These are few examples of the Talmud’s pragmatic rules to survival.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I sense similar ideas behind Steve Jobs statements. I would like to jot down his words to pay a tribute to the great life he left for us. “Don’t settle. Stay hungry. Your time is limited. So don’t waste it by living other people’s life. ” “You are always facing death.&amp;nbsp; This idea had helped me at times when I had to make a really big decision.” “Everyday, I ask myself. What will I do if this was the last day of my life?” “To acknowledge that one day I will die, is the best method to keep me away from the illusion of fear of loosing something.”  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;(The words are not exactly the same as his speech since I had translated back from Japanese wordings)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;*Yorishiro: A place for the spirits to reside.

The result showed that many people were trapped into a same peculiar behavior.&amp;nbsp; In a psychology term, it is called majority synching bias or normalcy bias. This phenomenon is seen all over the world. In an emergency situation, many people are trapped into a so called “emergency spell” which makes them stop thinking. Bias, in a psychology term, means “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;mental tendency or inclination, especially an irrational preference or prejudice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;”&amp;nbsp; In a natural disaster and/or emergency situations, many people have the tendency to go blank. In few seconds, the mind would wonder around what to do first and then it gets confused and stops, becomes blank. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Looking at the results from March 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, those who lived close to the shoreline knew that the tsunami might approach due to the large earthquake, but they didn’t think it was going to be that big.  The data shows what people did at that time. 1. Didn’t feel that they need to run away from their home and starts to clean the mess from the earthquake. 2.Started to repair the furniture that was damaged by the earthquake. 3. Slowly started to make a move by following the same direction as others.&amp;nbsp; Everyone was just following others but no one really knew where to go. The mass reached the playground of a nearby elementary school. Many drove there and caused a traffic jam. Those who couldn’t get into the playground were waiting inside the car. Then one guy heard the news that the tsunami might be reaching over 10m high. So he immediately went to the middle of the playground and shouted to go either inside the school building or run to a higher hill. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What did the mass do? 1.Those who were standing at the playground looked at each other and didn’t move. 2. Those inside the car stayed in the car. (they must have been listening to the radio but didn’t make any action because they are in a hypnotic state wanting to believe it’s not going to happen).  3. One guy is shouting to escape, but they all looked at each other and decides to wait and see.&amp;nbsp; The guy who warned the others felt their eyes saying, “he’s over reacting,” “it’s going to be fine,” “he’s just trying to scare us.” He escaped the playground and survived, but those who stayed at the playground or stayed in the car were all washed away by the strong tsunami.   Another survivor witnessed, once people start to see the tsunami coming towards them, they all rushed up the stairs causing a panic and people on top of one another creating an even more dangerous situation. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The danger factor in this kind of emergency situation is the mass consciousness. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I, as the writer of this blog, am experiencing a similar situation as this guy who shouted for warning. I get comments accusing me as an unpatriotic person who are creating unnecessary fear on others. I would like to say those are the hypocrites. At this time, the government is preparing for large earthquakes and tsunami and publicly announcing the details. If many of you try to look away from these facts, the mass consciousness will create a large number of victims. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;   &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You must be consciously aware of your own sense and not to be hypnotized by the mass consciousness. Raise your senses to have good instinct and to make quick reaction. In order to sharpen your instinct, you can do the following things from today.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Practice to be honest to yourself. Don’t look at other people’s face but analyze on your own about the news and current situation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;2. Do the daily gratitude sending toward your ancestors. This is about nurturing your DNA. I believe this is most important. The last moments has to do a lot with luck. And the luck comes from your ancestral spirits’ support.&amp;nbsp; The last minute instinct has a lot to do with the power/energy from your ancestors. By being consciously aware of them in your daily life can help you a great deal in an emergency situation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Continue to send the daily gratitude towards your ancestors and get on with your daily life with a positive attitude and a good smile on your face just like this shiba dog.

Men walking with white masks caught my attention. The men were working besides a big hole of about 60cm deep. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;They were putting the corpses pilled up on a wagon into the hole with burning lime . Then I saw a boy of around ten years old walking toward them.   He has his little brother baby strapped on his back. In those days, it was quite common in Japan to see young boys carrying their little brother or sister on their back while playing at the field. &amp;nbsp; But this boy wasn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Cambria;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;t here to play. He had a very important duty to come to this crematory.  You can see it on his face. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: maroon; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;And he was bare feet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;.   The boy came to the edge of the crematory. His face is stiff and eyes bracing for an ordeal. The baby on his back looks deep asleep and head bent backward.&amp;nbsp; The boy stood there for five or ten minutes. Then the men with the white masks came towards him and started to untie his strap. At this moment, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: maroon; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;I realized that this baby brother he was carrying was dead. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt; The men gently held the baby&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Cambria;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;s arms and legs and slowly put him into the hole where the hot stones are laid.&amp;nbsp; I could hear the steaming sound of the baby&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Cambria;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;s flesh burning. Then a gleaming red flare danced up in the air. The bright red color like the sunset was reflecting on the yet tender boy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Cambria;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;s cheek as he stood there straight and still.&amp;nbsp; That moment, I realized that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: maroon; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;the boy was biting his lip and it was bleeding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;. He was biting hard as he gazed his little brother in flames.  When the flames had calmed down, the boy turned on his heels and left the place silently.    （extraction from an interview by Seiko Ueda)  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;My impression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: Osaka; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Looking at this boy in the photo, I was very moved by his posture and attitude. I saw the true nature of a Japanese mind. He was standing up straight. I could tell from his posture and eyes that he was trying his best to pay respect to all the people who lost their lives and now laying inside the hole. He was still very young, but he knew what to do. I could see in his eyes bitterness from the tragedy and at the same time compassion towards the dead. He looked like a real samurai, brave and manly who see death with not attachment.  He is a proud Japanese child. A soul who was chosen to be on this land strongly tied with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;ubusuna-gami&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; (the god of the land).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Joe O'Donnell had joined the army because at first he hated Japan and wanted to fight against them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;And he was assigned to be in Nagasaki right after the drop of the atomic bomb.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The damage was more than he could ever imagine. He witnessed the people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; who were disfigured yet still alive and helping and caring the severely injured and close to death people.  This made him change his feeling toward the Japanese people. The nation he witnessed was not the nation he hated. People were all helping each other in spite of their own severe pain. And the biggest shock for Joe was to see this young boy. The boy with his dead brother on his back was standing straight in bare feet yet not loosing his dignity. And much older guy like himself couldn’t even go and say or do something. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; When he went home to the US, he raised a big question. Was it really a righteous thing to drop an atomic bomb and kill so many of the innocent lives? Was that really necessary as a war between nations? He said he held gatherings to discuss this issue and he was bashed and experienced bitter criticism. Every time Joe returned to Japan after the war, he had the boy’s photo with him trying to find his whereabouts. But he was never able to find his trace or information. If he was carrying the baby, I assume his parents were already dead. The bleeding lip tells that he wanted to cry so hard and trying to hold it so badly. He must have been &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: maroon; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;deeply lonely and lost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;.

However, through my psychic knowledge, next year would be even more serious. Possibly rainfall over few hundred mm per hour may happen. This could be strong enough to breakdown roofs. The drainage system in the cities needs some urgent preparation for this. If you are planning to buy a house or move to a new location, make sure to be in a higher land and also check the drainage system of the area. It will help you protect your asset. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Looking at the economy, the Euro looks suspicious.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Through my psychic eyes, I see many scenes of the future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;But the important thing is, which part of ME is looking at it?&amp;nbsp; It’s my innate god. My heart. This part of me is formless. And therefore, it’s not influenced by typhoons or currencies.

A vertical cloud like this looking like a snake with scales is created by very strong geomagnetic waves right beneath this cloud.&amp;nbsp; From now on, not only the shorelines of the Pacific Ocean side, but the inner lands’ faults need observation. Whole Japan needs to take caution  and watch out the crustal activity. People near Mt.Fuji should  watch the water level and temperature of lake Nishiko.

People learn from pain and sufferings. Only then we grow to become a true human being. Throw away the sense of guilt, and anguish in the right way in order to learn from the situation. This is how we become a real person. This is how I feel what Shinran was trying to say. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Shinran has always looked at the actual suffering people, the weakness, the shame, the inevitable conditions… He gazed at the facts and tried to guide a path for these suffering people. In this modern society, there are still many who are in agony, suffering in life. You don’t have to feel bad about yourself. Don’t look down on yourself for being in agony. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #d04010; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Those thoughts and emotions only occur when you are comparing yourself with others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;That will lead you to an ominous place.

They are looking outside too much. The more you hurt yourself, the more your innate god (sun) will hide deeper and darken the mind.

Not worrying about what others might be thinking. Don’t compare yourself with others.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;2. Accept your situation in a positive manner. Step back from the situation and become the watcher.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;These two are very important action for you to see the truth. Just to learn how to work on these two thoughts would create a better life. Don’t become too identified with the problem and take it easy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Ikashite-itadaite Arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Thank you for letting us live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3752458473594574032-3902124414062180364?l=isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/feeds/3902124414062180364/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3752458473594574032&amp;postID=3902124414062180364&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/3902124414062180364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3752458473594574032/posts/default/3902124414062180364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-it-lightly.html' title='Take it lightly'/><author><name>Sazareishi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15148647919007498808</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752458473594574032.post-7932065464410338752</id><published>2011-09-10T15:01:00.001+09:00</published><updated>2011-09-10T15:02:12.020+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Yes, we can make it</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;If you look at the ancient religions, they all had to do with sun worship. Especially in Japan, there are traces from the time of Jomon Period (around 123000 ~2400 years ago) that proves the nature worship such as giant rocks placed to worship the sun aligned to its orbit. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Ise area and Ise Jingu (The Grand Shrine of Ise) where the sun rises, was considered to be the Land of The Sun Goddess Amaterasu. And Kumano area and Kumano Shrine where the sun falls, was considered to be the Land of The Dead (night, the other side of light). God Susanoo was worshiped around this area (God Susanoo is the Yin and Amaterasu is the Yan side of the sun).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The sun is related and involved in everything and all dimensions. And the sun itself is alive. It is one form of life. The sun is involved in your whole life, from the day you were born until the day you die and even life after death. There is a statistics that the economy also has a relationship with the activity of sunspots. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;After your physical death, if you were able to go to the standard World of Spirits, you will also see the sun over there. In my memory, the sun looks the same but the orange color is more vivid. You can stare at it and won’t be blinding. One of the World of Gods is actually inside the sun. So there is a deep meaning in praying to the sun and sending gratitude like all ancient people had done. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The past few days, the sunspot and solar flare is very strong. The electro-magnetic waves from the sun will influence our brain and heart.&amp;nbsp; I’ve been writing about this from the beginning, but it’s not just a radiation but it’s a spiritual energy from the sun as well.&amp;nbsp; This spiritual energy is so fine that it cannot be detected scientifically. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I sense that the amino-acid (the fundamental elements of lives) was first created by this spiritual light from the sun radiating on the rocks on Earth. The radiation from the sun has created lives here on Earth.&amp;nbsp; The spiritual light from the sun is a radiation. I sense that this natural and powerful radiation from the sun that is now becoming extremely strong has the potency to extinct the artificial nuclear radiation that is still going on in Fukushima. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The sun radiation can do great creations, but on the other it can also stimulate the Earth deep inside that causes big earthquakes. It can also affect the weather, causing to create giant thick clouds, typhoons and heavy rain. In order to reduce the bad affects, the human consciousness is critical. If we all emanate the energy of gratitude, this could calm the natural phenomenon. I strongly believe that the thoughts of humans can really change the condition. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;If we survive this weekend, the next critical point is from September 26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; for few days. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Effect of gravity from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Uranus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;2.

font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The other day, I saw a TV show about a Swedish biologist and medical doctor, Carl Calleman(&lt;a href="http://www.calleman.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: darkblue;"&gt;http://www.calleman.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). He became interested in the Mayan calendar. Amongst the people who are into the spiritual world, end of 2012 (winter solstice) was to be said the end of one civilization. And many theories to what might be happening at that time have been said in the past decade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; However Dr.Calleman tells us that the Mayan calendar and the modern calendar has some calculation differences. He claims that the Mayan calendar ends not at the end of 2012 but October 28&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of 2011. What I am sensing is that it’s not one end of a civilization but huge changes in values will start to happen at the end of October 2011, a phenomenal change that only occurs once in few thousand years. I feel, by the end of 2012, it has already changed to a beginning of a new world with new values. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In Japan, it’s already starting after the March 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; quake and tsunami disaster. People are starting to be awakened to more important values than what they valued before. People used to prioritize work but now some have realized to put more value on family and being grateful for being alive. People are facing death more closely than before and thinking about the value of being alive. I believe that people are going to change in a good way from here.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The same TV show brought up another interesting subject. It was about a new comet Elenin (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsFhHmoK_d8&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;&lt;span style="color: darkblue;"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsFhHmoK_d8&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). Some people in the world are saying that this comet might become a cause to a gigantic earthquake. A former NASA employee is talking online that the US government is preparing eight nuclear missiles on an orbiter to destroy this comet in case it comes too close to our planet. This is more likely a false information, but it’s true that the directors of NASA are giving out a warning to raise awareness for disaster preventions and strengthening the shoreline watch. The TV show went to visit an astronomical observatory in Japan where there are observing comets. The staff knew about comet Elenin. The staff told the comet is about 3km diameter. It’s not a large comet that could destroy our planet. With this size, it can be for certain be destroyed by a missile. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I personally don’t feel any threat from this comet. On August 16&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, NASA has also formally announced about this comet Elenin that it will not give any negative influence to our planet Earth.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The real attention should be given on the solar flare and sunspots. This is a direct cause on huge earthquakes. NASA is also announcing abnormal activities several times already. The movements of various comets may influence the sun. It all depends of the solar activity. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The ancient people had always worshipped the sun all over the world. I believe that the gratitude energy from the humans towards the sun is essential at this time. The lives of forty six hundred million years are condensed in our body. It is powerful enough to influence the sun. The Mayans worshipped the sun. The origin of Christianity worshipped the sun.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: darkblue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Osaka; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now is the time to send gratitude towards the sun from us humans. Are we so vulnerable? Is there nothing we could do about this universal scale phenomenon? I believe we can do something about it. Let us all send the magnetic-energy of gratitude and help save this civilization.

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As time goes by, the world will always change. One person’s life continues to change at the same time. Feeling of despair and hopelessness rises when &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt;one assumes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt; that “things will not change.”&amp;nbsp; No matter how hard your life is right now, it will change. Don’t loose your hope. One day, you will look back and it will only be a memory of the old days. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But there is one thing that everyone possess and is eternal and unchangeable. It is one’s good will (innate god).&amp;nbsp; This is ever lasting. A good will is something you do for others without any expectation, without give and take type of deal. Everyone possesses this, but some people might have pushed it somewhere aside and lock it away.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The other day, there was a TV show  about a Japanese soldier who was injured at the end of WWII. He was shot at the back of his ear, lost all his memories including speaking skills, wondering around some countryside of China for over a year. One very poor but very kind Chinese man had sheltered him for fifty years with many hardships until he was finally able to find his family back in Japan. The Chinese man who saved this Japanese soldier, was an abandoned child who was saved by one kind person. When he saw this soldier being lost in the street, he thought of himself and couldn’t leave him being beaten and terrified. Even though, Japan was an enemy at that time, he also saw the soldier as the victim of war. He simply couldn’t let him starve to death. It was a very difficult time. It was even hard for the family to get enough food for themselves. But still, he couldn’t abandon this young soldier. Because of poverty, he might have ignored the man at the first time. But still when he went home, he couldn’t stop thinking about the terrified and starving soldier. This is the good will (innate god’s work). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Innate god nests in each and every one of us.   The most important thing in our lives is not about social success. It’s about how much your innate god manifests. I believe those who are living with honest good will really start to shine from now on. The innate god will start to come forth and give a glow. On the other hand, those who are putting aside the good will, their faces will look dark like the black hole. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Things will start to change when the right time comes. So don’t worry about the future and simply continue to work with your good will. Whether it may look like hypocrisy from others is not a concern. Just start acting towards what feels right to youself. Your innate god knows and sees everything.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;

We are connected with our ancestors with a spiritual code inside our DNA. We are supposed to help each other. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the dream, I was cleaning up my father’s room. I start to find coins and paper money that was forgotten and hidden in many different places.&amp;nbsp; When I gathered them all, it was few thousand dollars worth of money. I showed it to my father. Then he said, “wow, there was that much? ” &amp;nbsp;He also sai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;d,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; “well, I’m feeling much better and want to start going out. So could you go to the bank for me and withdraw the same amount? I need more than that.” And that was the end of my dream. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The money was for daily things like going to the barber and dining. I took the dream as a message telling me that the amount of daily things is actually very costly.&amp;nbsp; Bad dreams I think are simply sublimation of the data in the brain. But this kind of dream, I feel is a message. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was thinking about that dream to comprehend further. Then a thought came into my mind about the solar electro-magnetic waves.&amp;nbsp; Right after the great disaster, a major bank’s system had stopped and created chaos for few days. When the electric-magnetic waves from the sun becomes stronger in the future, we would have to anticipate unknown obstacles in all kinds of computer data, electric currencies and communication systems. If you’re used to shop only with credit cards when there is a black out, you will are not able to buy anything. If you were dehydrated and couldn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;t buy water, it might become a fatal problem.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I noticed that many Americans only carry credit cards and less cash. It is good for safety reason, but from now on, I think it might be better to have some cash on you incase of a serious black out.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I would also suggest that you keep your bank statement printed out frequently. The banks say that they keep the data with double or triple security, but it’s always good to be responsible at your side as well. &amp;nbsp;When I look at the data of the solar flare occurring this past few days, it is bursting more than ever (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://spaceweather.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;http://spaceweather.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: Osaka;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;. Even the burst is c class and not so big, when it is occurring so many times, the amount of radiation would be as big as the x class bursts. This could cause thunder lightening which could  become a cause of accidents in airplanes and highways. The effect of the high electro-magnetic waves could become a cause of sudden sleepiness to the drivers. This weekend is critical. Let us stay calm but be aware.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In Japanese Shinto belief, we have been worshipping Amaterasu-Ohomikami, the sun goddess for thousands of years. We worship by sending gratitude. In order to clam the power of the sun, the energy of gratitude from us humans is essential. In the ancient times, most of the people around the world had worshipped the sun. The ruins are the proofs to acknowledge the fact.   &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Christianity also originates from sun worship and not Jesus Christ.

This means in 100 yrs, the epicenter had moved down south. The prediction and caution for the next one would be offshore of Chiba or Tokai.&amp;nbsp; Before the offshore quake occurs, we also have to be cautious for the quakes on shore. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;However, we cannot just live in fear everyday. We must know that as a soul/spirit, we had chosen to live on this land of Japan. It is a fate that we chose. The Chain of Islands of Japan itself is a godly body. It’s alive and moving. We should honor this sacred land. The earthquake merely suggests that the dragon, god of this land, is being active.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is a story about a fisherman and his son. Amongst one big family, only one son and his father had survived the earthquake in Iwate occurred in Meiji era. The son said to his father&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; “let&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;s quit being a fisherman and leave far away from the shoreline.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;”&amp;nbsp; The father said, “no we can’t do that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;We have been fishermen for generations. The lives of the fishes have brought us to life, and we made our living from it. When we take away the small lives, the bigger lives (gods) will take our lives. This is a natural order/cycle. So until death greets us, we must send our thanks to the fishes and to the ocean. This is our fate. We take other creatures’ lives and so our family’s life is taken. We cannot run away from our fate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;We must live through it. That is what life is all about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #001768; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;In order for us humans to live, so many creatures had sacrificed their lives and we must send our gratitude to them. There is a big cycle that is going on beyond our awareness. We must always say “&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;itadakimasu&lt;/i&gt; (thank you for this food)” before we take away their lives and before we consume it into our body. And we must do our best not to take their lives as much as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;God is always watching us. We must honor this land and ocean that we live in. We must honor all lives and our own lives as well. We must do our best to protect ourselves by being aware and prepare for possible disasters. Once we are prepared, we just let go of the control and let the nature take over. We simply need to be in gratitude and live a normal life. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Ever since the 3.11 disaster, the geomagnetism is high in different parts of Japan. The land is trying to maintain a delicate balance. Observing and sensing these movements of the land, I cannot stop thinking how closely it is linked to the human brain waves.&amp;nbsp; Future is a blank sheet of paper. The humans create the scenario. It is possible for us to calm the movement of the land. We must continue to send gratitude to Mother Earth by saying “&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu&lt;/i&gt;, thank you for letting us live.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial Narrow'; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;     ”Tomorrow, on July 15&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 15:40 Japan time.

In early-modern times, it is linked to several mythologies. But when I imagine this word, I imagine a waving flag. This festival was held originally on the lunar calendar. Thus in the solar calendar date, it should be around August 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Spiritually significant time in Japan is &lt;i&gt;obon&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Once a year, around mid-August is the time when ancestral spirits come to visit us. And the 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of August will be a week before the &lt;i&gt;obon&lt;/i&gt;. I feel it was originally the day to start the greetings to the ancestral spirits. The &lt;i&gt;tanzaku&lt;/i&gt; notes were originally used to write the names of ancestors and not your wishes. The &lt;i&gt;bata&lt;/i&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;夕&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;) of &lt;i&gt;tanabata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;（七夕&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;) means&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt; evening… which signifies the night time, the dark place.. &lt;i&gt;Yomi-no-kuni&lt;/i&gt;.. the spiritiual dimension of the dead.&amp;nbsp; The mythology tells that only once in a year, the male and the female is able to meet crossing the milkyway. But in fact, it makes sense to me if it’s really about the ancestors and the descendent meeting once a year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;   &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Today the astronomical phenomenon shows&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;  (http://www.astroarts.com/index.shtml&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: Osaka; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;that at 22:53 the distance between Earth and the Moon will be in the closest distance which is 369567km. This number, 369 and 567 is a very interesting number. 369 is &lt;i&gt;Miroku&lt;/i&gt; (http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/miroku.shtml). And 567 is a significant year that is written on a sutra related to &lt;i&gt;Miroku&lt;/i&gt;. The distance between the Moon is showing this number at this day. I cannot stop thinking that it may have been all planned from few millions years ago. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I will say, from the ancestral worship point of view, &lt;i&gt;tanabata&lt;/i&gt; is a day to start preparing for &lt;i&gt;obon&lt;/i&gt;. On the sutra, it says that a new &lt;i&gt;bosatsu&lt;/i&gt;, a practitioner, will appear. I would like to think that from today, people would start to have a new perspective, to see things in a different manner.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #17365d;

The comet is named C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS).” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; According to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;Stella Navigator, the comet is calculated to align with the moon in the western sky on March 13, 2013 estimated to reach 1.7 magnitude. &amp;nbsp;The orbit is unknown at this time and the astronomers will continue the observation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Osaka; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;In my books (in Japanese only), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;I wrote some secrets about the moon.

The universe is so vast and these discoveries are with luck. We know so little about what is going on in space. I sense that there will be more sudden discoveries of comets in the near future that will align with the moon. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As the discovery of a new large comet shows, I feel that June was another big turning point for us. We must focus on our own inner universe and take good care of it.&amp;nbsp; To return to your good will means returning to the origin=universe=god. There is no point in comparing yourself with others or look for answers outside of yourself. You have your own god inside of you. It’s really time to trust your innate god.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When you find someone who needs help, you feel you want to do something about it. That is your good will. It’s nothing difficult. It’s really simple. When those feelings come out, you are actually saving yourself. Simply follow your good will. That is the path of &lt;i&gt;kannagara&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Is this my good will?

I am sensing that a movement is starting underground of Mt.Haku (Hakusan). When I bring focus on the underground of Mt.Haku, the first thing that comes into my mind is the movement of the water vein. Small to medium size earthquakes seems to have something to do with this deep underground water vein. And when it has to do with the water vein, the impact is one strong vertical shake. I sense, this type of impact suggests that  water disappeared in one part which created a big cavern, a hole deep down where the earthquake occured.&amp;nbsp; In the Kanto area, the earthquakes occur from two plates crashing into each other.  And in that case, the shake continues for few minutes sideways. Around Mt.Haku, the cause seems to be the water vein, so it only happens in an instant. Mt.Haku is a treasure trove of water. What is happening at Mt.Haku signifies that dry up of underground water is happening all over the world.   I feel this is more serious than the plate type earthquake. I am sensing that the rise of underground temperature is escalating more than we could imagine.  The heat is causing the underground water to boil and dry up.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This spring in West-South of China, once in a hundred years type of huge drought occurred that caused a desertification that killed all plantation in a vast area. Equivalent to half of the population of Japan is in serious crisis. Many lakes had dried out. And this month, heavy rain has washed down this deserted area that killed many people. Also in Europe, droughts and floods are occurring by turns. The global warming is happening both above the sky and underground. The rise of temperature is causing the droughts. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VTBnCxW5ePY/TgMuObK8nTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/jUsFrPk4974/s1600/china.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="257" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VTBnCxW5ePY/TgMuObK8nTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/jUsFrPk4974/s400/china.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;   &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Japan has enormous amount of underground water that cannot be seen in other places of the world.

This is remarkable because such a journey normally takes three to four days. The largest recorded &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_storm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; text-decoration: none;"&gt;geomagnetic storm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; occurred. Aurora were seen around the world, most notably over the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Caribbean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; also noteworthy were those over the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountains"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Rocky Mountains&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that were so bright that their glow awoke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegraph"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000090; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Telegraph&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; systems all over Europe and North America failed in some cases even shocking telegraph operators.Telegraph pylons threw sparks and telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In other documents, they recorded that electric poles caught fire in this event. Several scientists have written a thesis about what will happen when a large solar storm occur today. Most of them state that it will most likely take at least one month to recover the power plants. NASA has written numerous thesis and warnings in this past ten years about the damage prediction on Earth by the electro-magnetic waves from the sun.  However, I haven’t seen any thesis on what will happen when the nuclear power plant has lost its electric power caused by a large solar storm.   Will the emergency cooling down button really work in such situation?&amp;nbsp; If it doesn’t work, we couldn’t wait for a month recovery.  Just looking at the recent Fukushima accident, we know that if there is over eight hours of blackout it creates a severe damage to the area. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fortunately, out of this misfortune that happened in Japan, the whole world is reexamining and reconsidering its own nuclear power plant. Some countries have already decided to stop using it or to build new ones.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In Japan, the government is taking this matter into serious consideration and planning thoroughgoing countermeasures. Imagining, we had entered the giant solar storm without experiencing this accident in Fukushima, it would have been a most devastating tragedy. Today, we have more than four hundred nuclear power plants worldwide. Later on, the world may verify that the Fukushima nuclear accident had prevented a worldwide disaster. At the same time, I’m also sensing that we are entering a new era where humans are starting to develop resistance against nuclear radiation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Since the ancient times, living things on Earth have successfully evolved by overcoming and developing the toxin resistance from radiations and oxygen. Humans were able to survive through the chain of life because of the outbreak of CO2 that reduced the amount of oxygen. Prof. Kunihiko Takeda who specializes in the research of nuclear radiation claims repeatedly that its nonsense to reduce CO2. It is necessary.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;   &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Therefore, I would say this Fukushima accident that seems like a tragedy, may eventually turn out to be an advantage. The people in this area may start to develop resistance to radiation faster than others who are less affected. I’m not saying you should be exposed without any knowledge and caution. You should still do everything you can like I have suggested in my previous articles. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We will have a period, a chance to start adjusting our immune system.

It is named from the color of the body of a whale or because the skin is black and the meat is white. In ancient Japan, white was the traditional color in Shinto ceremonies. But black and white was also used in the hangings both in funerals and celebrations. The Imperial Family uses it as well in both occasions.  (from Wikipedia)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Strangely enough, the world cannot evolve with white and white or black and black. We need the two polar to make things happen. That's why we have male and female. The sexual genitals are also in polarity 凹凸. &amp;nbsp;So often, I see a married couple in reciprocal characters. The more they are contradictive the more I see fate.

This might be an interesting topic to do a research. Those who cannot find a partner maybe looking for someone too much like one self. You might have set up which level you are and looking for someone in the same level. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When you look at a life from the Ying and Yang point of view, if life is difficult now then life will get better later.

National defts, stock market fluctuation… financial crisis is already happening all over the world.&amp;nbsp; Serious natural disasters will start to happen around this time as well all over the world. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #000090; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It started from the Far East, from the land of the rising sun. Japan was the first place to happen, in order to show the world how it can be recovered overcoming the greatest crisis. We will have to become the good model. Future is still uncertain and unfixed. We should become the Noah’s ark. The disaster prevention tasks including protection towards nuclear power, water and food purification methods are forced to be the primary mission for our government. These fields of study will escalate rapidly.&amp;nbsp; Kanazawa University has already publicized a method to purify nuclear polluted water that is a hundred times more powerful than the one in France. Many scientists are now making all their efforts to find new advanced methods try to save the radiation problem. Everything happens for a reason and no experiences will go to waste.

Tomorrow we will be going into the deep forest. According to the local people, the weather seems to be much cooler this year. The tornados are occurring much earlier in the season than usual and in a greater scale. I’ve only seen just a little part of the US, but I sensed that the nature spirits are not honored. They are taken cared but not being worshipped. The sacred trees in Ise Jingu (The Grand Shrine of Ise) are
