A Heartfelt Thought... 3

While my father was doing business with the hospital in Osaka, Mr.Hamuro was a doctor and a manager of the hospital. Mr.Hamuro had always tried to support my father in many ways. Even after my father’s retirement, Mr.Hamuro kept sending letters trying to continue a friendship. Through my psychic reading, I feel that Mr.Hamuro had some sort of problem with my father in a past life and now trying to make peace. They each carry the karma of Fujiwara and Tachibana Family, so I sense that Mr.Hamuro simply couldn’t stop doing something for my father. He probably didn't know why he feels that way. In spite of Mr.Hamuro’s heartfelt effort, my father still didn’t go to Kasuga-Taisha. It was very interesting for me to see the reaction of the descendents carrying the karma of their ancestors.

In the later days, Mr.Hamuro’s face was like an Okina (翁). Those who have dedicated their life for a divine purpose will turn into an Okina face like you see in the Noh play mask. A very soft, light smile. Only those who had contacted a high rank god spirit above the 7th dimension of the Worlds of the Gods would start to look like an Okina. The present Emperor has started to have an Okina face. Living in this dimension, they already start to look like a god.

I sense that when a god appears in a human like form he would be wearing an Ikansokutai (衣冠束帯), traditional formal court dress, with an Okina face. A goddess would have an Otafuku (お多福) face. A smiling face with eyes slanting downwards with big round cheeks.

The man with an Okina face said “God has already given everything to people. All we need to do is to realize that.” In a way, this is a very tough thing. What happens when he/she doesn’t come to a realization? He/she will only be the way they are or become worse.

A better one or worse, our future depends on each and one of us. 

In the recent election for the House of Representatives, the nation truly worried for the country and made a serious decision. An understanding came to me through this election. I reconfirmed that the god has given his life in our hands of humans. The future can change. It all depends on us. Whatever the result, god will accept.

We must choose to live. We must make an effort to live.

1. By sending gratitude towards our ancestral spirits, through each family spiritual line, the healing energy can spread to all human beings.

2. Pay a visit to the shrine close to where you live (Uji-gami jinjya). You have the fate to live in that area. Therefore you have a relationship with your local god. Send gratitude to your uji-gami (local god). This will help the Kuni-tama (国魂), the god that protects this country, and give him power. This energy will extend to help the Mother Earth to heal as well. Not only will it help Japan, but it will help the world to become a place of peace.

The gods does not help each individual, but he/she will try to protect the leaders, such as the Emperor or the Prime Minister. We chose our leaders. We must be responsible to support them as well.

Hidden Shrines of Ise - 5

After spending three days in Ise, I was driving back home on the high way. The signs around this area have a lot of “Uji” and “Yamada.” That caught my attention and started to wonder where this name Uji Yamada came from. I heard from the local people that the elders would say “I am going to Yamada” rather than “I am going to Ise.” In the folklore, they say what local elders have been passing on through talk story is the truth about the region.

There are many academic theories about how the name Ise derived. But what my vision tells me is that there was a conflict. The town around the Gekū area was called Yamada and the town around Naikū area was called Uji. In the super ancient times, a stone pillar was brought from Haku-san as a pillar for the god to reside. At this time, Naikū did not exist. I would say Naikū was established much later. There was only one stone pillar, so when people decided to build the Naikū, they made the pillar with wood. This wooden pillar became the Shin-no-mihashira (心御柱), the pillar of the heart, and it is was set under the ground of the sei-den, main shrine. This wooden pillar is also known as Imi-bashira (忌柱), Ame-no-mihashira (天ノ御柱) and Ame-no-mihakai-no-hashira (天ノ御量柱). During the sengū, the part where the priests set the wooden pillar under the ground of the main shrine is the most important ritual done in the middle of the night.

I believe that originally, a town only existed around the Gekū area. And it was called Yamada. At that time, I assume the Naikū did not exist and the area was still a deep forest. If the anthropologists dig around the Gekū, I am sure that old living remains will be discovered from more than 3000 years ago. I assume the origin of the name Yamada comes from “Yamatai-no-kuni (邪馬台国).”

In one of the ancient document, Gishiwajin-den (魏志倭人伝), it explains that the area from Mt.Miwa of Nara as the capital and all the way to Ise~Kumano area was called Yamatai-no-kuni. When princess Yamato-hime-no-mikoto came to the forest that is now the Naikū, carring Amaterasu-Ohomikami’s eight rank spirit, the whole area starts to develop as a town. I assume some kind of high ranked tribes called the Uji (氏) clan came from Nara to this area. And eventually, Uji (氏) became Uji (宇治).

I sense that the Yamada’s who where the older local people and the new high ranked families, the Uji’s did not get along. They both lived on one side of the Isuzu River and had conflicts. This is a reflection from the World of the Gods. The conflict between Kunitsu-kami and Amatsu-kami. The ancient people of Yamada and the people of Isobe who are the believers of the Izawa-no-miya were good neighbors to each other. Another two stone pillars from Haku-san are buried under the Izawa-no-miya. That makes sense, why they get along.

As the god spirit shows me the vision of the ancient times of these area in Ise, I was driving towards Takihara-no-miya (瀧原宮).
