The Grand Shrine of Ise, Gegū

I hope you will have a chance to visit The Grand Shrine of Ise or Ise-Jingu, Gegū one day. If you go in the morning, you will be able to see the golden pillar of light rising high into the heavenly sky. The Light Pillar can be seen at the sengū* open ground near the building. The shrine itself seems to be a device that brings in energy from heaven and to emanate all around. I sense the energy that runs through the open ground is directed towards the North Star. Every time I have visited this Shrine of Ise, I have always been able to witness this line of ki. It cannot be seen later in the afternoon. When I am in a very good physical condition, I am able to see the Big Dipper as well.

Gegū* (outer shrine) is truly beyond logic. It is absolutely a miracle that this exists. Why this place out of all the places on earth? Well just visit and enjoy the place.

I don't’ mean to be secretive about it. It is true the Naigū (inner shrine) is a very honorable place where the Imperial family spirits reside, but when I first visited the Gegū, I was stunned. A champagne gold pillar of light was rising from the ground towards heaven. And the light was beaming toward the North Star. I don’t think there is anything like this any where in the world. If a truly gifted religionist came to this place, Christian or Jewish or any other religion, that person should be able to understand what I mean. I know we would feel very close to each other.

I want all religionist in the world to visit Gegū. The Jewish rabbi will definitely feel Jehovah. A devoted Christian will feel Jesus Christ. A devoted Muslim will feel the breath of Allah. This place is on the level of planet earth not on the level of human, thus it is beyond one religion.

I feel this Gegū is Kongen-shin, the Root God. I sense that all the gods were created from this existence that has no name. This place will connect you to the highest conscious that you believe in. If you have the qualification, you will know.

On the tip of the pyramid, there is one root energy source. This energy divides unlimitedly and spreads down. Whichever side you climb from, the top is the same tip. One will reach the same source. In all religions, when you reach attainment, you reach the same place. I sense that this Grand Shrine of Ise Gegū is directly linked to the Root source.

*Sengū 遷宮: The transfer of the deity to a newly constructed shrine. The whole shrine structures are renewed every 20 years since 690 AD.

*Gegū 外宮: The outer shrine is written as “Geku” at Ise-Jingu official site and other road marks. Also Naigū (inner shrine) is written as Naiku. However the author insists that it should be pronounced in “g” instead of the “k”.

Innate God and the Root God

Innate God (Naizai-shin) is connected to the Root God(Kongen-shin) through the Birth Place God(Ubusuna-kami).

Many of you seem to be interested in your own Ubusuna-kami. Your innate god is the Birth Place God, Ubusuna-kami. Your innate god is also a segment of the Root God that departed from it but is still connected to it. The breath of the Root has created this planet earth. I sense, the soul of earth is the earth spirit so called Kunitokotachi-Ōkami. When the earth was still covered with lava flow, I sense the Kunitokotachi-Ōkami in a shape of a divine dragon. The dragon is running around the surface of the earth, surging in a spiral manner, a jumping corona. He ran around the surface of the earth, and when he completed the structure, he stopped moving and fell a sleep. That sleeping dragon is the stabilized form that we see now as the land of Japan. In the same condition, sun appeared from the Root and nurtured the earth. The soul of the sun is the sun spirit, which we call Amaterasu-Ohomikami.


All of the Japanese people including the foreigners who were born in Japan are born on Kunitokotachi-Ōkami and raised by Amaterasu-Ohomikami. All of the Ubusuna-kami are related to Amaterasu-Ohomikami which leads to Kongen-shin, the Root god. So if you do not know about your Ubusuna-kami, you can send gratitude to Amaterasu-Ohomikami and it will be the same.

The Root God

Kongen-shin is the ultimate god - the Root of all source. All religion and all of its sects will ultimately reach the same place. The Indian saint, Ramakhrishna practiced attainment in almost all of the paths that exist in Hindu and Muslim traditions. He practiced them one by one from a very basic level. With every step to the upper level, he experienced a union with the god spirit in the lower level. He experienced the bliss of reaching the highest god of each sect. Every highest god of each sect had different characters. The greatest and remarkable part of his attainment is that when he experienced the bliss with the highest gods, and when he felt the existence of what is beyond it was all the same in every sect. It was simply an “Ocean of Divine Love” without words. This “Ocean of Divine Love ” that he reached beyond all supreme gods is the Kongen-shin in Japanese terms.

There are many different paths to reach the top of the mountain so called Kongen-shin. When you take a different path, the scenery along the way will be different. You shouldn’t argue about the difference of the scenery nor be seized by it. At the end we reach the same place., There is only one peak. Yet, there are long courses and short cuts. I believe the shortest path is to bless the present, no matter how many problems you might be carrying. By becoming aware of the importance of sending gratitudes for all the ordinary things in your life, various realization will start to occur, and you will start climbing the mountain.
