Be humble to the Spirit of the Land

The Shinto shrine that is closest to where you live now is called Uji-gami(氏神). Ubusuna-gami(産土神) is the god of the land of your birth place (Where your mother lived when she had you in your her womb). It seems that many people are confused of these two different gods.

Like in the old days when people used to live all their life in one place, Uji-gami and Ubusuna-gami was referring to the same god. But in the modern days, most of the people move from one place to another.

When you are displaying a Kami-fuda, the formal charm with the name of the Kami (god), at your Kami-dana altar, you should prioritize the Uji-gami. Why is that?

When you think about your land–lord, which is more important? The land-lord of your former apartment or the land-lord of your present apartment? I should say the present one is more important because he is the one providing you good deeds in your present daily life. But you mustn’t forget about your first land-lord either. It’s better to pay a visit once in a while.

If you display your Uji-gami at your Kami-dana, it will help to bring you good fortune. It’s like if you ignore your land-lord and not pay any rent, he will kick you out. It’s sort of the same idea. If you don't have a Uji-gami in your local area, your nearest Ichi-no-miya Jinjya in your prefecture would become your Uji-gami. When you worship the Kami by sending gratitude, it means you are spiritually paying your rent.

It’s not that you have to display the charm on your altar. You will still live on even without it. But it’s a good thing to acknowledge the great spirit who lives in your surrounding. You are sharing the space with him/her. When you acknowledge the presence of your local Kami and be humble about it, he/she will help you bring good fortune.

We can explain to a certain degree, but a “life force” is still a mystery even in the modern science of today.

It’s easy to forget that we live on top of a spirit of the land, so I am suggesting that it’s a good idea to have a tool, a Kami-dana altar that is visible to your eyes. For some reason, if you cannot set an altar at home, you could use the Buddhist memorial tablet or a Tanzaku with the three incense and gratitude sending to your ancestral spirits.

Many people live in the same environment, but each person’s life runs differently.

We have the day and night. The day (reality) is half of our life. The other half is the invisible part. It's more effective for your life when you acknowledge the night (dark& invisible) side. You will be able to make your life more fruitful.

Hidden Shrines of Ise - 2

“Alright, where shall we go next?” Mr.H is thinking… “There is a very old shrine by the beach in Toba. The road is very narrow and hard to get there. Do you want to try?” Something told me that I should go there. So we went. We went into the very narrow trail in the middle of the town. There was no sign about a shrine. Not only was it extremely narrow but very bumpy, up hills and down hills. I was so glad that no car came from the other side. Finally we were able to pass through the foresty trail and came to a small beach. We parked the car and walked towards the torii gate.

The shrine was called Izawa-jinjya (伊射波神社). The sando path towards the shrine was very long steep and old. The stairs were worn away. When I had climbed up about a hundred meters, I turned around. The blue ocean was there with the torii in front. Suddenly, a vision came to me. The scene was in the super ancient time. A creature was climbing up the path that I am walking right now. The creature’s top half is a man and bottom half is a crocodile. Her stomach is big. I can tell she is pregnant. The path, sando (参道), can also be read as “the birth path” (産道). The creature gave birth at the top of the hill where the shrine was standing. My retainer told me that this is “Toyotama-hime.”

Turtles and other creatures come to the sand to lay their eggs. This custom has been the same since the ancient times. I think the orginal meaning of Ubusuna (産土) is “the soil of a mountain.” The direct translation of Ubusuna is “the sand of birth.” Maybe because the soil in the mountain could better preserve the eggs than the sand near the ocean, the creature went all the up to the top of the mountain.

Ubusuna means "the sand for the birth.” From the vision, this idea became clear in my head.

Once before, when I had visted Kinpirak-gu (金比羅宮) in Shikoku, I also envisioned half man half crocodile creature going up the path towards a shrine.

In the super ancient times, I believe that in a short period of time, there were creatures like half man half crocodile around the Pacific Rim. Around this time, the world wasn’t still completely materialistic. The earth was still experiencing a dimension where creatures were half spirit half material.

In the Japanese mythology, we see half man half animal type of creatures. It looks like a cartoon and unreal, but it is simply showing the truth of the old days. The modern science is totally ignoring this fact. They will never come to understand the truth about the beginning of human race if they cannot accept that we used to be half spirit or ghost at one point.


This shrine, Izawa-jinjya (伊射波神社) has the same name as Izawa-no-miya in The Grand Shrine of Ise. These two shrines are not so far apart. Izawa means to “bring things in peace to make oneness.” It also hides a deeper metaphor about the goddess Kukuri-hime who brought Izanagi and Izanami together. The hidden key goddess in the Japanese history.

Toba is a wonderful place, full of shrines with living gods in existence. To be continued…

Spiritual pipeline

With my psychic vision, I could see that a spiritual pipeline or a cord starts from the two points in our body, the bottom of both sides of our shoulder blades. And it merges on top of our head. The line becomes one at the top of the head and extends up into the sky.

The spiritual cord that extends to other dimensions is a proof of the existence of our ancestors from past lives. This spiritual cord has lived from the beginning of human kind, constructing a pipeline that carries the genes of all of our ancestors. One of our ancestors may have been able to extend 10cm of this cord. Another may have done a greater job as a soul, enable to extend 1m.

The spiritual cord from the right and the left side of our body entwines on top of the head and grows toward other dimensions.

One who has cleared his/her ancestral pipeline, lived truthful to his/her innate god, and he/her soul matured to a full extent, he/she will grow wings on their back and a halo on top of their head. To be precise the halo is not just one ring but it is layers of many rings that look like a pipeline.

Depending on the person who can see the aura, it differs in the appearance. In the western world, those who have wings and a halo were considered to be angles or saints. In Buddhism, they express the light to be behind the body that extends over the head.

The cord that comes from the right side of one’s shoulder blade is the ancestral line of the family of one’s last name. The left side comes your Ubusuna-kami (= innate god). For women, when she marries and changes her last name, the spiritual cord will also shift. Her face, figure and character will change accordingly. When she is still attached to her maiden family and respects them more, she might not be able to resonate with the married family’s ancestral line which would often lead to a divorce.

If you have a daughter and truly wish for her happiness, you must let her concentrate on devoting her time in her duties with her new family. If you are divorced but still keeping your husband’s last name, you spiritual line is still the same. You must continue to keep respect and honor your husband’s ancestors.

When an evil spirit tries to possess you, they will try to cut off your right cord first. When the connection with your ancestral line is cut off, both physically and mentally, it is much easier to control.

In this World of Reality, the ancestral line is the strongest protection power source for an individual. When an evil spirit tries to possess an individual, it will first try to cut that cord of protection.

The so called famous “healers” who are making money from their special ability, their right cord has been destroyed. They have an invisible hole under their right shoulder blade. With this condition, they are no longer able to think of ancestral worship. They will even be in denial. From the hole, the evil spirit will come and go as it pleases. When this condition escalates, the evil spirit will start to eat up the left line as well. When the left line is completely cut off, one will die. The individual will come to an end of his/her physical life.

The right cord is connected to your right chest where your physical energy center (from a spiritual aspect) is placed. The left cord is connected to your left chest where the energy center of your soul is placed.

The ancestral worship with gratitude will clean your right line. The gratitude awareness for daily matters and to the gods will clean your left line. When both lines are cleared, one’s spiritual pipeline becomes big enabling to receive a lot of life force from the Root of the Universe. Life will become much easier and enjoyable.

The Birth Place God - Ubusuna-kami

There are many different understandings in Japan about Ubusuna-kami. But I will explain my own understanding.

Ubusuna-kami is a Birth Place God that guides a soul into a mother’s womb.

In each area of a land, there is divine spirit, so called Ubusuna-kami, who is guarding the land. Interestingly enough, each Ubusuna-kami has its territory to look after. That’s why it’s better to have the land blessed before building a new home. A Shinto priest would hold this ceremony in Japan, but his psychic ability has nothing to do with the performance. When the respect is shown to the spirit by holding a blessing ceremony, the Ubusuna-kami will give permission to live on the land, unless that particular place was a grave or some special historical site or if it was blocking the divine spirit’s routine path.

When a woman is pregnant, she is receiving the divine energy from the Ubusuna-kami guarding the community. The divine energy creates a konza, pedestral, where the new arriving soul can reside inside the mother’s womb. In this konza, the arriving eternal soul resides with a fate to the family line. The konza is the placenta of the mother’s spirit body. When the new arriving soul is testing to place its-self to the konza, this creates morning sickness to the mother. When the testing is over, the mother and the new soul are in the same energy frequency. Then the morning sickness stops. The soul is now steady to the “seat” and united with the mother. At this stage the soul is to be called embryo. An embryo takes a form of a human. At this stage, the konza is the innate god. An average human would have 6 to 8 petals. I can see it just like petals of a flower. The soul is sitting on top of these petals. After the baby is born, he/she starts his/her life. If the life was a good one that made the innate god grow, the petals will increase in numbers. You start with 6 petals and could grow to 16 petals at most. When you have 6 petals, it means your innate god is the same as the Birth Place God. As you grow the petals can increase, and when it does, your innate god will change to a higher rank god.

In Japan, the god with 16 petals is Amaterasu-Ohomikami.
