Don’t think of Kami like your Personal Servant



御祈祷(go-kitō) or 祈願 (kigan) is a ceremony to offer gratitude to kami (god) in hopes that we receive continuous protection. The shrine offers two types of gokitō, 御饌(mike) and 神楽(kagura). Both the Naigū (Inner Shrine) and Gaigū (Outer Shrine) provide a Kaguraden (a ceremonial hall). And the priests and the maidens will performs in front of kami as the conveyor on behalf of the offerer. (quote from Ise-Jingu official website)

I feel, using these two words, 祈祷 (kitō)・祈願 (kigan) should be reconsidered at this time.

Because these two words or Chinese characters are used, the people misunderstand the way to worship a kami.

These letters were used by the influence of Buddhism, and it has a hidden meaning such as curse, win, battle and request personal desires. They are all self-centered evil attitudes of human and what kami dislikes.

Most people think that kami is there to ask for wishes. That is a misfortune. Why is it a misfortune?

You are asking kami for your personal desires to come true. This is a rude attitude towards a kami, and most people do not know about it. This is happening because the priests of today’s shrines cannot sense the kenzokus (the spirits that protects the kami). They have forgotten the osore - the reverence towards kami.

How would you feel if your child come to you, hand you a small coin and say “I pay you this much so would to make a move to make my wish come true?”

Do you think the kami who has given you life and who is completely in the position of justice would say “yes, I shall make it happen” to every personal desires?

If your wish comes true, there will always be someone in trouble on the other side. That is how the balance is created in this society. Is that what you want?

If my child came to me to ask for a wish, because I love him I would really want to make it happen. But then, I think whether it would be good for him. I might secretly help him make it happen. But I would never say yes to everything he asks for. Sometimes, I would scold him that it’s not going to happen and life is not that easy.

You shouldn’t be asking for small details to the almighty god. Simply send gratitude for what you have at this moment, for being alive. Put your heart to it. The energy of gratitude will reach to kami. And if he thinks you need help, he shall help you. The gratitude prayer would work much stronger than a wishful prayer. Wishful thinking should be left in your daily moments to encourage and bring focus to yourself.

It is the shrine’s responsibility to have led the mass to a wrong way of praying.

When you are asking for a formal prayer (mike or kagura) the priest would ask what the purpose would be? And give you a list. Select 神恩感謝 (shin-on-kansha) gratitude sending to kami. Some shrines don’t even have this on the list. What a shame.

If the shrine does not have this in their listing, ask for 家内安全 (kanai-anzen), safety of family. During the ceremony, think as you are offering this to kami rather than asking for protection and be in gratitude.

The energy of gratitude will create 神気 (shinki), divine energy. The energy you send will always come back to you and change your life in someway.

A Collection of My Photography

"Mt.Haku -The Home of the Gods" - 「神々の故郷、白山」


From few years ago, I have been sensing the nature withering away. It will escalate faster then one can imagine. Whether we can save the nature from dying or not, depends on how much appreciation we have for the nature. The shrine is a place where you could go and send gratitude to the gods of nature. When you come to a realization, your gratitude could save the nature. The energy of true gratitude would be felt by the fairies in the forests and help save the forest.

I have been taking pictures of the forest and the nature since I started to think of this. I used to visit Haku-san (Mt.Haku) area for work, so I had a lot of chance to catch the scenes of Haku-san. It’s often covered with clouds, but when you can see it covered in snow it is spectacular.

I've been wanting to take the whole mountain view. So I had visited many weekends. I felt I was guided. And found unusual spots where there are no artificial buildings in front. The clouds were gone when I was there.

I took many great pictures but the best one is the one with a strong blue aura of a god in front of the Haku-san mountain.

Haku-san is very hard to get to. And even if you go there it’s very rare to see the whole view. Usually, it is covered by clouds. It would be a pity for the readers not to be able to see this beautiful mountain.

Just when I was thinking about it, I happened to find a photo book of Ise Jingu at a book store. I looked at the publisher. It was Random House Kōdan-sha. This publisher had contacted me two years ago when my blog first became a book. There are many photo books of Ise Jingu but almost none on Haku-san, the origin of Shinto.

Through my blog, so many people have started to worship Haku-san, and I felt like I wanted to show them the image through my perspective. I have more than a thousand photos. But interestingly, the publisher picked up 108 photos to publish. The number 108 is said in Buddhism the number of earthly passions.

To each image, I wrote a comment through my inspiration in hopes that the viewer/reader of this book will feel enlightened.

Lets Practice to be the Musubi



One of the important God’s job is to be the musubi (結び). It is to join two or more different things and create something new. This is the core feature of the Creator.

At a Shinto shrine, there is thick twisted rope hanging on top of the front opening. This is called shime-nawa (注連縄). The shimenawa is the actual image of what the musubi is about.

Sake is also something that cannot be forgotten in Shinto tradition. Sake is made of this process of musubi of different substances and then fermented. Sake is one fine musubi art work. One of the finest symbolic god’s artwork is offered to the altar at a Shinto shrine.

Rice contains the divine energy of Amaterasu-Ohomikami and pure water. Sake that is made out of rice has the spiritual power to expel evil spirits and purify.

Rice = Amaterasu-Ohomikami
Water = Susanoo

These two divine Gods’ power is in the sake. And it is mixed with all the other eight millions gods’ power and fermented. The sake is a creation with all the Gods together.

Japanese sake is sacred. In Shinto, sake is used in many different ways for purification.

When I pore sake on the ground, I sense it cleanses the place and expel the negative energy. But like salt, it only works temporarily.

We also play the role as a “musubi” in the society. For example, we introduce a job to a friend or vise versa. This is unknowingly creating a “musubi”. When you are cooking for your family, you are also doing the “musubi” by putting together different substances.

Meeting your life partner is also a creation of the power of “musubi”. In order to be jointed, you shouldn’t just wait for it to happen. You must actively work on it. As a human being, you are here to learn to be a better “musubist”. In this World of Reality, we humans are the creators.

Watch the Amount of Food You Eat



Until five years old, I remember I hated eating. I remember thinking, “why should I put all these things into my body?”

My mother worried about my health and forced me to eat. I still didn't eat so much, but I was chubby. My wrists were meaty it looked like I had a rubber band around. My brothers used to tease me and say, “hey lend me your rubber band” and push my skin around my wrist.

Also, I never ran out of breath when I was running. I was always running around with my yellow rain boots on bear feet. We had a large open ground in front our house. I used to run around in circles clock wise.. counter clock wise… then I would start to run swirling around in different directions. And that was my first out of body experience. I knew I was running but the scenery around me had stopped. And I was sucked into the blue sky. The next second, I realized looking at the Earth from space. I remember this very clearly. It was before I entered preschool. Now when I think about it, I think I might have accidently danced the Sufi dance.

Like in my childhood, when you are eating little and maintaining a healthy body, you consciousness can expand.

Since the beginning of September, I am only eating once a day and very little. I exercise everyday like I have been always doing. I am starting to feel that my body senses are returning to when I was five years old.

If you are recently starting to feel some health issue, it might be the amount of food you are consuming. People have a belief system that one has to eat a certain amount. The older you get you have to change your diet and the amount you eat. But your thoughts are set and doesn’t want to change. If you eat more than you should, you are overworking your organs that is screaming stop! Stop! And your physical condition becomes poor.

If you are recently feeling fatigue, you might want to change your diet and eat less. If you are doing well and feel good, you don't have to worry.

Eat less and if you feel a little hungry, have something like dry fruits. I carry dry figs and have one occasionally.

In the microcosmic world everything is vibrating. The Earth is also vibrating. Recently I sense the Earth substances are vibrating faster. This is influencing our body as well. It is time to reevaluate the amount of your food consumption.

The Place after Death - 3



During the 49 days of the Bardo Period, everything you did in your life will reflect on your soul. From the “death” point, the energy you sent outside will all come back to you in this short period. Therefore, if you had made others suffer, you will experience the same pain all at once. So in a way, it’s better to experience the pain while alive. After your death, you no longer have a physical body to protect you. The pain will feel much stronger.

What if I acknowledged the wrongdoings and apologized or made efforts to make it up? If you had done this, there is a law that your actions will be reflected on the judgment.

What I am trying to say is that, just by dying you will not be able to run away from your wrongdoings. At the same time, if you had given a lot of love to others, you will be feeling all the love back to yourself.

Are you wondering if the kuyō will really reach to your ancestral spirits? I will say, would you only do things when it’s guaranteed? In that case, it will only be a duty labor just like you work for your wage. Doing a kuyō must come from your wanting to do so. Love must be given without any compensation. If you could act on sending kuyō like an unconditional love with no guarantee to do any good for you, then that is genuine. And it will for sure reach to your ancestral spirits.

Those who know that one must live no matter what and do good without any expectation is worth giving applause.

Even if you stayed single, if you had help heal your ancestral spirits, you will be healed and saved after death.

Everything you do is recorded. Every little thing you do in this life is all worth doing. It will sum up at the end and come back to you.

If you become aware of this, your way to live your life will change from now on.

The Bardo Period is a time of reflection. And you will be judged by your own innate god = “good will” which way to go, to heaven or to hell. At this point there is not escape. Your soul belongs to the Root Source of All. You are simply a derivative of the Root. Therefore your true genuine part is made from goodness. And you will be judging yourself from your own genuine part.

At the end, not a singe soul can escape from one’s own righteousness.

The Place after Death - 2



Each person’s situation on death is different. 0.1 second before the actual death, an enormous drama takes place.

When one comes into this world, the first family encounter is a mother. When one dies, the first encounter is one’s ancestral spirit. Your ancestral spirits are the bridge between this world and the next.

The fact that you need a physical body while alive, you have the fate to have a relationship with a destined family line.

At the moment of your death, your ancestral spirits will come into your consciousness as a ball of light. The radiant lights will show you one of your familiar ancestors, or one that you don't recognize but can feel that he/she is your ancestor. Sometimes the light may not be a shape of a human figure. It comes in many different patterns.

If you had helped heal many of your ancestral spirits during your lifetime, many ancestral spirits will come to greet you after your death.

I am recommending the three incense kuyō. When you act on this, the energy that you send as a kuyō (to help heal those ancestral spirits who need help) will be divided by the leader of your ancestral spirits who is most stable and has the strongest tie with you. This leader and others who were healed by your kuyō will come to greet you when you die. One of the Buddhist sect, Jōdo-shū’s painting of the “Nyorai coming to lead the followers to paradise” is very much showing what I just explained. But they don't come in a figure of a Nyorai. They will usually come in a ball of light or in a figure as your ancestral spirits.

At the time of death, those who were greeted by his/her ancestral spirits will have a very peaceful face even it was a terrifying accident. It all happens within less than a second and when you are greeted, you are saved and your face will look peaceful.

After this second, you start to enter the 49 days Bardo Period. If you had an ordinary life, even though you didn’t believe in god or guardian ancestral spirits, at least one of your ancestors will come to greet you. However, with a small group there is not enough light and you might feel pain when leaving your physical body. When a large group of spirits comes to greet you, the light turns into a golden light. It is amazingly beautiful. When you are wrapped in this golden light, you will feel so safe there is nothing to be afraid. The separation from your physical body will also be smooth and easy.

However, depending on the way you lived your life, you might not be able to recognize your ancestral light even though they came to greet you. In this case, the soul remains at the place where he/she died. These people were not ready to leave their physical body but still died and forced to separate. So the pain remains even after the separation. For this kind of soul, right after the death, the consciousness can pretty much move around freely. But as the time goes by, you start to find it difficult to move around. And eventually, you get stuck in one place. So the only way to move is to possess a living person.

Those who entered some religious sects or made people suffer, when these people die, an evil spirit will come to greet them. Those souls won’t even have the chance to enter the Bardo. To be continued…

The Place after Death - 1



After one’s death, the soul has approximately 49 days to decide where to go. I sense that this applies all over the world. I call this 49 days the Bardo Period, the transitional time from one dimension to another. In Tibetan Lamaism, there is a Sutra for the Dead. They talk about the 49 days after death in a similar idea.

However, comparing with my memory on life after death, the content on the sutra seems to be a little out of date. Time has passed. Today things has developed and changed since the day the sutra was made.

In a simple manner, let me explain what happens during this Bardo according to my memory and my on time physic vision.

People will eventually die. You and I, we all die at some point. The 49 days after death is a sacred time. A very special time, one can only experience once in every lifetime. You strip off your physical body and become a spirit entity in the same shape and size as the time of your death. During this period, your consciousness also stays the same at the time of your death.

During this period, you will learn to let go of your physicalness and move on as a spirit. As time passes, the senses about your physical body start to disappear. The more you feel less physical, the more your consciousness becomes sharper. You start to remember all the feelings you had in your life. The happy memories and the sad memories, it all starts to come back clearer and sharper. At the end of the 49 days, those emotions will be as ten times bigger than at the time of your death. Your hidden emotions will be revealed, the one that you were avoiding for many years. If you had made others suffer, you will start to feel those pains of others.

Your goodness = innate god, have seen everything and knows everything.


If you had cause pain to others but didn't know about it, you will be shown visually to acknowledge your wrongdoing. The level of sin depends on whether you did it on purpose or not. If you have done it consciously, obviously the pain will be felt more.

Your own innate god, not by anyone outside of you, judges it all.

The problem is, “will you be able to cope those emotions? Are you living your life righteously, so you don’t have to suffer after death?”

If you had given a lot of happiness around you and your family, those emotions will become larger as well. At the end of the 49 days, all of your experiences will be summed up and your innate god will decide your next journey. To be continued…

Towards A Grand Dream



After a physical death, our soul stays in an intermediate between this world and the next. The intermediate is called Bardo. And the length of time the causal body remains in this Bardo is 49 days.

Actually, the Bardo period exists in this Earth plane as well. And that period is now, between September 9th and October 26th (old calendar: 9th day of the 9th month). It is not physically 49 days. But because our timing is escalating, spiritually we are experiencing more than 24 hours a day. Therefore, this period will be equivalent to 49 days. I sense that we will be experiencing several Bardos periodically from now on.

Are we able to experience the Bardo without physical death? The answer is “yes, we can.”

The seekers in the past had an extreme purpose to experience death consciously while still alive. Those who succeeded in leaving his body while still in conscious, becomes totally free from dimensions’ restraint. I sense that the Russian mystic, Uspenski i Petr Dem i anovich tried to experience death while taking a walk but failed.

Most of the wild animals die while keeping its natural instinct. Therefore, the reincarnation cycle is very fast.

The great Mother Nature has repeatedly experienced the Bardo period. I sense that the last Bardo period for the Earth was 3000 years ago. At that time, I feel that a big shift occurred on the spirituality of Earth which led to a big change in the human immunity, physical system and civilization.

The Earth has now entered the Bardo period. In the next few years, our planet will go through several Bardos. And of course we humans too will be experiencing a huge change. This time, it seems to be more than the just a 3000 years cycle. The Great Bardo that happens every 300,000 years and the even larger 3 millions years cycle Bardo seems to be overlapping all at the same time. The Earth will go through something it has never experienced before.

The change will be more than you can ever imagine. Like the human beings appearing on this planet all of the sudden.

I find it interesting that the god spirit has told me about this Earth level Bardo being 49 days. The same length of time as the Bardo in the human realm. Maybe the Root God sees Earth and Human Beings as one set of organism.

If we could wake up one day to realize that we are truly a part of this planet Earth and have a sense of gratitude for what we have, it is still possible to pass through this Bardo smoothly without too much disaster.

I believe that our human consciousness will grow as well as the progression of planet Earth.

I sincerely hope that one morning, we will simply wake up to realize a totally different self.

October 26th, The Time of Kukuri

Wrote Sept 10th:

Yesteraday was September 9th. In my consciousness, the 9th day of the 9th month, is the starting date of kukuri(bundle up/to gather/ the oneness). I never felt so seriously about this day than yesterday. The spiritual light from the sun was definitely stronger than ever. I could even feel it inside my room.

I am concerned about what might happen on October 26th. This is the 9th day of the 9th month in the moon/old calendar. It will be the first quarter of the moon phase.

The celestial movements are still influencing our planet Earth. But astrology no longer works at all. In fact, you should just do the opposite of what is told. You shouldn’t waste your time and money on fortune telling anymore. You might be missing a big chance to change your life.

The past few thousand years, The World of the Ghosts (spirits) where in control of our destiny. It worked accordingly to the celestial movements. To be more precise, it was not really one’s destiny but the ghost spirits forced humans to believe in those things, and those whoever interested in astrology were led to make things happen.

From now one, your own heart will change your destiny rather than the movement of the sphere.

Astrologically, we are now entering the cycle of Aquarius. Aquarius signifies the end of the celestial ruling. Aqua means spirit. The phase of Aquarius is the “Waxing Age of Spirits.”

Humans will be free from the ruling (material/vertical society/money), and will be able to manifest a reality by one’s own heartfelt desire.

Between September 9th and October 26th, the spiritual energy from the sun will be very strong. The World of the Ghosts will start to contract. I wonder how the oneness that has started from The World of the Gods
will take place at our World of Reality.

The Japanese government has made a big change. We will start to see more changes around the world.

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.

A Heartfelt Thought ... 2



The reason why my father said that he didn’t want to go to Kasuga-Taisha is because he wanted to respect his own ancestors. Kasuga-Taisha worships a personal god of Fujiwara family.

For generations, as a Shintoist, my father’s family has been worshipping God Susanoo. Our family has been the keeper of Susanoo’s onizuka mound. We have been told that our family’s root comes from Tachibana (橘氏) Family. And that the Tachibana Family’s root god is Susanoo. (The famous Kamibito and psychic of Showa, Matsuzo Matsushita told my father that the Tachibana Family is the ancestor of Masashige Kusunoki,a notorious samurai general of Kamakura period, and my father’s family.)

The big four noble family in Japanese history are Genji, Heishi, Fujiwara-shi and Tachibana-shi. Out of the four, Tachibana Family has taken over the karma of God Susanoo. This family had experienced the same calamity as in the mythology of Susanoo.

According to the Mythology of Japan, Susanoo had committed numerous sins at Takamagahara (heaven)
and was expelled from the World of the Gods. He was sent to Ne-no-kuni (Hell).

The truth behind this incident was that Susanoo took the blame of other gods. These gods were the bureaucratic members who were positioned under Amaterasu. Why did these gods commit such crime? The whole system of the World of the Gods was running in a pyramid like operation. Goddess Amaterasu was at the top of the pyramid and other gods lined up under her. Then God Susanoo suddenly appeared out of the blue with the same level of power as Amaterasu. The other gods were afraid of him and thought he might take over the whole system. So they laid a snare. The gods destroyed Amaterasu’s precious farm and blamed it on Susanoo. For some reason, Susanoo never said anything against the blame and silently went to Hell.

The same thing happened with the Fujiwara Family and Tachibana Family during the early Heian Period (794~). The Fujiwara Family succeeded in curry favor with the Imperial Family and became very powerful. The incident called “Jouwa no Hen (承和の変)” is one famous affair where Tachibana Family was trapped just like Susanoo in the mythology. The family that carried the karma of Susanoo has repeatedly experienced exile in history.

Even in the modern day Japan, the blaming on one person is still happening. This election of The House of Representatives was to blame former Prime Minister Aso. Our society has a habit to make one person take blame and be expelled. Is it really just that person’s fault? We have to think about that.

Going back to Kasuga-Taisha, the actual origin of this shrine is way older than 1300 years ago when the Fujiwara Family became the Uji-gami of this shrine.

Way back in the ancient days, Kasuga-Taisha was a shrine to worship Mt.Mikasa (御蓋山) as a god. Therefore, this shrine takes a very unusual style of merging the ancestral spirits and a god spirit.

The Fujiwara Family worked on foreign affairs and had a chance to learn a Tao spell from China. They learned the secret technique to worship their ancestral spirits together with a god spirit of the mountain in order to sublimate their spiritual level. This is how they succeeded in this World of Reality.

A Heartfelt Thought brings your Soul to Light



The election of the members of the House of Representatives was held on August 30th. As I was watching the news of the election, something completely different came into my mind.

It was the story my mother spoke to me during our last trip. The story was about Yoriaki Hamuro, the former head priest of Kasuga-Taisha who passed away early this year. For some reason, this story came into my mind during the election news.

I have never read Mr. Hamuro’s books nor had a chance to meet him. But I knew he was an old friend of my father. During a long drive with my mother, we had a lot of time. So I tired to get as much information as possible about this man because her stories were all very interesting to me.

My father and Mr.Hamuro met each other at a large hospital in south of Osaka city. My father was working for a medical supply company and he often visited this hospital. My father became friends with Mr. Hamuro at this hospital and they used to go out for a drink after work. Even after Mr.Hamuro had become the head priest of Hiraoka Shrine (枚岡神社) and Kasuga-Taisha (春日大社), he used to write to my father asking if he would come and visit him to the shrine. My mother said that he did go to visit Hiraoka Shrine but not to Kasuga-Taisha. I remember asking my father why he didn’t want to go to this shrine. He said, “I don’t want to go to a shrine that worships the Royal Fujiwara Family.” My father never told Mr.Hamuro that he was the descendent of a shrine that worships God Susanoo. My father simply kept their friendship as work partners and nothing more. On the other hand, Mr. Hamuro seemed to be more curious about my father.

During the 60’s, my mother said she had a chance to talk to Mr.Hamuro directly at the hospital. At this time, Mr.Hamuro was a well known doctor who succeeded in developing an operation on babies who were born with cleft lip. Many doctors came to this hospital in south Osaka to learn from him.

Mr.Hamuro told my mother that he devoted his work on curing the clept lip because he just couldn’t see a bright future on these babies. He said he couldn’t stop thinking about finding a way to change their lives. This was his vocation.

Through my mother’s story, my understanding was as follows; “The god who created humans must be able to cure an uncompleted lip. There is always a way to solve. Gods are waiting for us humans to find the solutions.” I believe that Mr.Hamuro was determined with this thought.

Such determination and devotion brings great inspiration. He found a method that completely cured cleft lips without using any machines or cellular transplantation. He succeeded by simply using the baby’s own facial skin.

A strong heartfelt caring thought brings great inspiration. To be continued…

The Big Shift - Mother Goddess of Mt.Fuji



From Ise-Shima Keizai Newspaper : There is a small mountain called Asama-dake (朝熊岳) on Ise-Shima Skyline, the road that connects Ise and Toba. On August 23rrd, the view of Mt.Fuji was captured from this distance. During the summer season this is very unusual. On top of that, a rainbow appeared from the direction of Mt.Fuji and Kamishima, just like a scene from the novel “Shiosai” written by Yukio Mishima.

My impression from this article: The god who resides at Mt.Fuji is a Mother goddess. The goddess has been spiritually supporting the economy of Japan during the postwar era. At this time, the Imperial Palace and the capital was moved to a location where Mt.Fuji can be viewed. This manifested by the will power of the Kunitama (the soul of Japan):

The divine power from the goddess of Mt.Fuji brought great financial success to Tokyo. But from Heisei(1988~), one side of Mt.Fuji had a landslide and it is continuing to slide. This signifies an ending of financial growth.

The rainbow that came from the direction of Mt.Fuji towards Ise also brings a message. This signifies that the Mother goddess of Mt.Fuji has moved her residence to the sacred ground of Ise around Izawa-no-miya.

Mt.Fuji was a symbol of prosperity. Ise symbolizes worship of nature. The era to come is the Age of the Heart. This is the intention of the Kunitama.

Economy is an important factor but the companies with no spiritual value will no longer survive. Companies that does not care about humans or nature and only think of profit will not survive.

The postwar era up until early 90’s was about economical growth rather than heartfelt society. However, the concept of seeking only financial profits no longer works. Many of those large cooperation’s employees will start to suffer from depression and the whole system will not be able to operate properly. From now on, only companies that care for their employees and care for their spiritual growth will survive and prosper.

The same thing could be said in the government operation. It is not the time to focus on financial growth.

I heard from someone who went to Ise Jingu early this July that the roof of Kaze-no-miya (風宮) in Gekū looked badly worn-out but the other shrines look all right. Kaze-no-miya is the first shrine that takes up the condition of the nation. Each grass of the roof represents each region and its people. The more damage of people, the more damage on the roof of Kaze-no-miya.

The only way to help yourself and others is to be in gratitude for what you already have on a daily basis.

Immunity and Ancestral worship 2



The gratitude sent by the descendent will always reach to his/her ancestral spirits. They have the fate to have a link, a connection that is meant to happen. Even if the gratitude were sent unwillingly, it would still work. This is because, whether you like it or not, your connection with your ancestors is inevitable and you're a borrowing a physical body for them in this lifetime.

I could see that the most important part of the body is the neck from the bottom up to the back of the head (the occipital region). With my psychic vision, I could see a pipeline of light coming from the heavens into this part of the body. If I see this pipeline of a person, I could read about his/her health, span of life, abilities, etc…

When you are remarried or adopted, the ancestral pipeline would change accordingly. Your gratitude and other thoughts will all reach to your ancestral spirits through this pipeline. This is the reason why the direct descendent needs to send the gratitude prayers to their ancestral spirits. No other person could do it. So called healers, sensei or monks and priests cannot do it for you in exchange for money. They will not be able to reach to your ancestral spirits because they simply are NOT connected through the pipeline.

Religious groups that are doing business, as “service for one set of ancestors for such amount” is completely a fraud.

I am not saying that you should stop doing the traditional way of asking the Buddhist monks to come for the funeral ceremony. This is a long tradition in Japan, and there is a reason why the Buddhist came to be a part of our culture. So if you find it necessary, continue the tradition. But don’t think that the monks are doing everything for you. You must continue to send prayers with gratitude on a daily basis towards your ancestors on your own. Your awareness that it is your responsibility to do so, is already a big help and relief for the ancestral spirits. Chanting an okkyo (お経) sutra is only going to confuse the energy. It is better to use the language that your ancestral spirits could understand. Simply send gratitude from your heart.

Around the world, people might have other opinions like, “Ancestors has nothing to do with our lives”, “We should just focus on the now. Then our ancestors will be happy” or “Only sending gratitude to ancestral spirits is not enough. It will create a disturbance.”

But what I see of the future of people without any respect towards his/her own ancestral spirits is a decline of immune strength.

From now on, people could die from a flu or even from their own bodily waste. People will start dying from reasons never expected before.

We must acknowledge that we are still connected to our ancestral spirits from the past. We are only “borrowing” this body. We were born to continue the journey of the long lineage together with our ancestors.

Religions were made by the evil spirits from the ancient time to slave the souls of humankind. Those religions are trying to separate the souls from his/her ancestral spirits to loose their own power. The evil spirits are trying to slow down the process of human growth toward awakening. A convenient way for slavery.

Many of the large religious groups emphasize on denying ancestral worship. Even in Japan, recently I see many blogs trying to deny ancestral worship. The evil spirits are trying to manipulate the humans to go against awakening.

The ancestral worship is the right path. Only through our ancestral spirits could our souls reach the soul of this planet Earth.

The Earth is getting weak. Only through the gratitude sending could we straighten our spiritual line that can reach the Spirit of Earth. And we need to help Earth regain its power NOW.

Immunity and Ancestral worship 1


The whole balance of our planet Earth is in crisis. The crisis is as serious as we humans have never experienced before. The cause is the melting of the ice at both the North and the South Pole. The ice in the deep ocean is melting which is causing a big difference in temperature that leads to create a wild change in the current.

It feels almost as if the timing was set from the super ancient times by god, and he has simply turned on the switch.

The melting of the ice is caused by the electro-magnetic waves from the sun. The increasing radiation from the sun is heating the Earth from the inside which is causing the ice to melt from a deep level. The melting of the ice on the surface is just a small amount compared to what is happening in the deeper level. This is changing the ocean current.

The heat from the center of the Earth will cause volcanic activity. The Pacific Ocean is already starting to activate. Be cautious about the movement of Mt.Fuji.

The only existing norito chant that has the breath from the World of the Gods is the Ooharae-no-kotoba (大祓詞). The latter part of this norito explains the purification of this planet Earth by the ocean water. This has began.

This is the biggest transitional period Earth has ever experienced since the creation of mankind. This is the climax of civilization and heredity of mankind.

The human souls that exist here today, they all have a meaning to be here at this time. You are standing at the end of a long heredity. You are the epitome that sums up all your ancestors of the past few hundred thousand years. You must we aware that you are the anchor. You may be just one being but you are living along with the lives of your ancestral spirits from the past few hundred thousand years.

If you feel miserable and having a hard time, that is one figure of a lineage. If you are fulfilled and in great gratitude, that is another end of one heritage. Just the fact one figure exists after such a long period is a miracle. Spiritually looking, either way, it is a god’s work of art. Human beings can only follow the Great Nature=God. To live or die is still in the hands of god.

As long of you live, no matter how awful your present situation is, you must not forget to be in gratefulness for your ancestral lineage. (to be continued...)

Be the Cool Observer



After the solar eclipse that happened end of July, a new type of spiritual energy is flowing into the Chain of Islands of Japan.

During the past few hundred years, the main artery of the Dragon God (Japan) has been growing its blood streams from Tokyo to Kansai on the Pacific Ocean side. Industries developed where the main artery grew. And so did the population. The direction of the flow of the main artery has changed since last year from Tokyo - Kansai to Hakusan - Ise. The blood stream between Tokyo – Kansai is getting thinner. This means that the material civilization is shifting to a “heartfelt civilization”.

In ancient Japan, the sun rose from the Pacific Ocean and its spiritual energy ran from Izawa-no-miya of Ise through Mt.Asama (朝熊山) to Hakusan-Chukyo Jinjya (shrine). And Mt.Haku was breathing in the spiritual energy from the sun through this channel. The line between Izawa-no-miya and Hakusan-Nakai Jinjya was the Spiritual Path of the Sun for a long long time. It was a time when shrines didn’t exist. It was a pure sacred ground.

At Hakusan-Chukyo-Jinjya, there was something called Iwa-kagami (岩鏡). It was a mirror made out of a rock. In the ancient time, people used to make a mirror out of polishing a rock. At Izawa-no-miya, there is a stone pillar that is buried in the forest behind the main shrine. These are the religious remains left from the ancient days of Sun Worship.

This era was the time of “heart felt civilization.” The heart felt civilization was hidden and the material civilization started to come in front and continued for a while. From now on, the heart felt civilization is coming back.

From now on, Do Not Be Hurt or Be Afraid of economical problems or your family problems. Simply do what you can do in the now moment and don't forget to be in gratitude that you are led to live. Then be in trust and go with the flow. This will bring the best result.

Only your heart will live forever. What can be seen with your eyes will keep changing. Do not be attached to the material world. Be the cool observer. Be flexible.

The Gods Call Upon the Birds



The other day, I went to get my haircut. I go to a beauty salon instead of a barber. I go there because it only costs me 1000 yen plus, I am always satisfied with her work. My hair has strong natural waves. It has become milder but when I was a child, it was all curled up. So if I go to a haircutter that is not so good, my curls will start to grow in a strange way, and within a month, I had to go to get another cut. But with her, my hair grows equally and can hold it for two month. She could imagine how my hair would grow and cut it in the right way.

When I cut my hair, I always realize that my concentration is better. So would it be better to make it bald? I feel that wouldn’t be good. My inspiration comes through the hair. My hair is the yorishiro (寄り代) for the god spirit’s energy to reside. I feel each person has his/her own right length of hair. It has to be the perfect length to get the right inspiration.

The higher priest’s uniform is called ikan-sokutai (衣冠束帯). I don’t know the origin of this design in an academic way, but I can see with my psychic vision that the design is formed by a spiritual foundation. Spiritually, the most important part of the design is the belt that runs from the back of the head down through the neck. This is covering and protecting the spiritual yorishiro part of the body. When the priest is conducting a Shinji (神事) ceremony, I sense that the god’s energy comes and reside on this belt. The miko (巫女) maiden wears a head lei which also has the same function.

The next important part is the extremely long and wide sleeves. If they extend their arms wide, it would probably look like a bird’s feather.

Overall, the figure looks like a bird with its cockscomb.

From the ancient times, gods and the birds had a very important connection. The gods uses the birds as a messenger.

In Izawa-no-miya of Ise, there still exists many rare species of birds. This is a proof that the god still resides at this place.

Sometime ago, I asked god, “who is the most important person in a shrine?” The answer was “the cleaners” rather than the head priest.

From the eyes of the god, the high and low status in the human society is completely upside down. The highest priests who sit behind the tables were considered the most distant to god.

When the high priest voluntarily starts to act on cleaning the sacred ground and act on protecting the forest and the small animals, he will become a true priest.

Don’t Exploit God’s Name

wrote: July 26th

Most people must feel that there are too many gods in this world. The names are hard to remember and confusing. In fact, most of the gods were created by mankind and do not exist. Certain noble families or tribes needed a god to worship in order to control the commoners. It was a way to gain power.

“My family has been ruling this land that you all are living for generations because our ancestor is God OOOO.” “Our ancestor is the awful God OOOO.” These gurus have been collecting donations from the regional people for hundreds of years by preaching such immature nonsense. This is obviously not a true god. This in only a Jinrei (人霊), a human spirit that is pretending to be a god. Most of this Jinrei is a spirit that has killed a lot of people over and over again, using special kind of weapons.

From the ancient times, this tragedy has repeated its history disguised as a god trying to control mankind.
For example, there is a famous god in the Japanese Mythology called Nigihayahino-mikoto (饒速日命). Even today, there are still Shintoists and psychics who worship this god. Mononobe-uji (物部氏) was said to be the descendent of this god and governed an area with a strong power. He created Mononobe Shinto and influenced the Government of that time. We see similar situation happening today, don’t we?

Is Nigihayahino-mikoto a true god? No he is not. He was only a Jinrei. In the ancient times, a group of tribes arrived from the Continent. They were hunting tribes and had a lot of weapons such as spears, bows and arrows. The agricultural tribes preferred peace and had no weapons. If they fought, of course they will loose so they obeyed and followed orders of the tribe. Mononobe family inherited the skills of making weapons. This family has a history in Shinto dictating the rituals for the Gods. There are many Norito chants that were fabricated in those days.

The true god is only one. And that one god can appear in three different energy forms. You could say they are three aspects of one gods. The rest of the gods are offshoots of these three gods. And men named these different energy figures.

Through out the world, in the origins of religions, three gods often appears.

In Hindu, the Trimurti, Brahman, Vishnu and Shiva. In Christianity, the Trinity. In Shinto, the Sankishin (三貴神). The three gods are Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo.

The one and only god rests inside you as your innate god. Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness that human experiences are the expressions from these three gods. Which god comes in front depends on how you live your life.

Take care of your own Innate God.
