The Divine Revelation on the Summer Solstice

Wrote : June 21st



Today is 夏至(geshi), the summer solstice. The longest daytime during one year, which means the sun is with us the longest. In Japanese Shinto, the supreme god is the Sun Goddess. Thus, this is one of the most important day.

The day of the summer solstice is when all of the Shinto shrines hold festivals to charge up the spiritual energy from the sun goddess, Amaterasu-Ohomikami.

Through out Japan, the shrine holds the Nagoshi-no-Ooharae (夏越の大祓), the grand purification of the summer. During this festival, a ceremony called Chinowa-kuguri (茅の輪潜り) is held. The ceremony is to pass several times through a large loop made out of kaya-kusa, sedges, and bamboos. The turn goes from left and then right and then left again making the shape of an eight, three times. By doing so, it is said to cleanse you from sins and epidemics, and clear away evil spirits.

This morning I chanted the Ooharae-no-kotoba (大祓詞). Just when I finished the chant, a divine message came through.

“ Unfortunately, a right turn fylfot (the opposite to 卍) has an image of an evil design because it was used by Hitler who was influenced by a Western mystic who told him to use this design as his logo. But for the World of Gods, both right turn and left turn fylfot is equally important. It has been used in many different ancient civilizations, and there are many traces throughout the world. It is a design to show one significant pattern of movement of divine energy."

The god tells me, thanks to all of you, "the vertical divine energy between Haku-san and Ise is now activated. For the past 1500 years, the yin energy of the left turn 卍had been dominant which made Japanese Buddhism prosper. From now on, the right turn fylfot, the yan energy will become dominant.”

Right now, the vertical line has appeared and it needs to grow the horizontal line to complete the fylfot shape. The key places for this shape to appear will be the Togakushi-Jinjya (戸隠神社), Kumano-Hongu-Taisha (熊野本宮大社) and Tamaoki-Jinjya (玉置神社).

From now on, when you are visiting a shrine, please make sure you are in silence and no thoughts in your head until you reach the main Honden shrine. An only send gratitiude. The kenzokus will be watching you. If you are not serious about this, you might experience some bad luck - unnecessary spiritual incidents may occur.

Once the fylfot is completed and start turning clockwise, the gate that is now hiding the Great Dragon god of Japan will be unlocked. When the Dragon is set free, all the people living in this dragon shape Japan will be awakened.

When my morning ritual was done, the sakaki leaves on the altar had blossomed. Just before the chant, the flowers where still a closed bud. The sakaki flowers are white and have five peddles. It looks like the Star of David. I felt this was a very good sign.

Thank you for letting us live

Overcome Sins with Goodness

There is a summer event in Shinto called “Chinowa-kuguri”. The event is to pass several times through a large loop made out of kaya-kusa, sedges, and bamboos. By doing so, it is said to cleanse you from sins and epidemics, and clear away evil spirits.

I sense “death and resuscitation” in this act of “passing through the loop”. And when I did a reading on the origin of this event, I started to see the ancient agricultural age. After the harvesting, people made a hut with the same materials, sedge and bamboo. The farmers would stay in the hut quietly for two weeks to experience the oneness with god. It was to heal the body from all the work, but also to apologize and cleanse the sin for killing the small creatures in the soil during the production of the crops and to capture animals for food. The idea of “vow and cleanse” is the basics in Shintoism. As the time goes by, people felt that they didn’t have enough time to sit for two weeks, so it had been simplified into the event of “Chinowa-kuguri”. In the ancient times, people shut oneself in a hut once a year in order to experience the oneness with god, and to cleanse one’s sins.

The cells that construct our body are repeating the cycle of “death and resuscitation”. Even in a healthy body, cancer cells are produced every day and immune cells are fighting against it on a daily basis. When the cancer cells are little stronger then the immune cells for a certain amount of time, it will form a focus. Whether the cancer is malignant or benignant depends on one’s emotions. If one is cursing another, complaining all the time, selfish, or worried and having no sense of gratitude, these feelings will help to increase the cancer cells. On the other hand, feelings that will help to increase the immune cells is to have the sense of gratitude that you are led to live by the source, the Root. Everyone possesses both cancer cells and immune cells. As long as we live, we will make mistakes and create sins. Everyone carries both “Sin and Goodness”. If you know that you have sinned in the past, don’t forget about it and keep adding more goodness into your life, so at the end, goodness overcomes the sins. If you know you have sinned, you have more fate to be saved. Today, the “Chinowa-kuguri” can be done by saying “Ikashite-itadaite Arigato-gozaimasu. Thank you for letting us live.”
