Create more good core points in your life

     This graphic figure is made by Kumagusu Minakata. It is a Kumagusu mandala explaining the nature about this earthly dimension and the universe. The character イ・ロ・ハ・ニ・・・with circles are what he calls “suiten”.  It’s a point where the karmic flow gathers. It’s inter-connecting with each other in all perspectives.

     When I look at this graphics, it links to our daily lives. I can see that we always have these gathering points, the core in our everyday lives. If we try to see the whole that are going on everyday it is blurred. But when we focus on the important things one by one (family, work, hobby, friendship, housing, food, sex, age, illness, death) in a calm manner, we start to see the “suiten” the inter-connected points. The big connections and the small connections, it’s all there.



      Kumagusu thought that the fastest way to understand the whole is to recognize these “suiten” points.  We are all unconsciously creating these “suiten” points everyday. For example, there is this man who complains a lot at work. Then a “suiten” point of unsatisfactory is created in his structure. This unsatisfactory point will start to link to his other “suiten” points (related to family, money, health…etc.) and feed these other points with unsatisfied energy. The result is that he will start to have more unsatisfied experiences in his other parts of life as well. This concept can also influence his cells and bacteria in his body.

     As you can see in these figures, there are several core points to create a structure (our life or an universe). The problem is the point “ト” in the top figure of Kumagusu mandala.   The “ト” point is an outside influence that I understand as the collective human consciousness. Currently, with my inner-vision this point  “ト”, the collective human consciousness, is showing a huge growth. It has grown as big as the other “suiten” points. It looks the same like this ◯ー◯. From now on, these circles will start to become a double, lying on top of one another like this ◎.  A revelation tells me when the points become ◎, this earthly dimension will show great evolution.  And when this happens, all kinds of problems will disappear from this world. I am very much looking forward to this new era.





     Think about the “suiten” points in your life. Try to calmly see the bigger picture through these inter-connected points. It will help you to loosen up and letting go of attachments.  And once again, it is most important to have the “suiten” points of gratitude. Being thankful to your ancestors and to your innate god (your good will). This energy will influence your other core points in the best way.

The baptism - Christ consciousness

Extraction from June 4^th, 2012  Sankei News

An extraordinary solar phenomenon is occurring. The Japanese satellite has discovered that the solar activity is slowing down and the magnetic field and sunspot’s changing cycle is totally different from what is commonly viewed. This phenomenon is very similar to what happened on Earth around 17~18^th Century.  Some scientists are claiming that the Earth is going into a cold phase. What is happening to the sun?  “The mysterious four-pole structure” – One of the specialist of the research team of RIKEN, Daikou Shioda says、 “Normally the positive and the negative pole exists in a pair. Currently both the north and the south poles are positive. And two negative poles seemed to have appeared somewhere near the equator. This is a rare phenomenon with four-pole structure.  ”  Why this has happened is a total mystery. How will this influence our planet Earth?  ….

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     As I have mentioned in my past article, the solar activity’s peak was predicted to reach around May, 2013. However, now the researchers result from the observation is indicating that the solar activity might have already reached its peak around April of this year. And the solar cycle is entering a down phase. One of the results from the observation is this four-pole structure.

     Since five years ago, I have been writing about the sunspots’ activity. Now we are finally reaching to a point where some real change of action is observed. From now on, the standard four seasons are ignored and the temperature will fluctuate daily. In a period of one month, there will be a mixture of very cold and very hot days.

    I sense that this four-pole structure in the sun is creating four spiral blocks and if we could see the center meeting point of those four spirals, there will be a cross. This reminds me of the super vision I had at The Grand Shrine of Ise in May, 2007. I witnessed the symbolic cross of the sun above Izawa-no-miya shrine.

    This is what I had wrote on July 10^th, 2008. “As I write this blog, I am reminded of the visit to Ise in May of last year. When I paid a visit to Izawa-no-miya shrine, I had witnessed a cross inside the sun through my super vision. In that moment I felt that we will see an actual cross in the sun in few years from now. The sunspot may be lining up to create a cross. When this happens, the electro-magnetic waves that occurs from this phenomenon may force humans to cast-off, to break-out from the old mold and renew themselves.”

    When the sunspot appears in a cross shape during this down phase (smaller numbers of sunspots), the fluctuation may create a turbulence. Nowadays, it is quite common to see over 100 sunspots daily. However, if this happens during the phase where there are only around ten sunspots, this may create a big influence on Earth and to humans. This reminds me of the extinction of the dinosaurs in the super ancient times. It happened in a second by the giant solar flare baptism.

    Many of the modern scientists are claiming that the fall of a giant meteorite is the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. According to my reading, it is different. All creatures in the deep ocean through out the world died as well. This is contradicting. Eventually, when the science progress, they will find out the truth.

    Our DNA has experienced baptism from the solar electro-magnetic energy many times. I believe this will be the seventh time. And I believe, this time will be special. We will be able to live through the experience. This is the symbol, the cross that the Christ had left for us. When we see the cross in the sun, it is time. We will evolve.

    In order to live through this baptism, we need to act on the Christ consciousness of forgiving. When we have the hearts to forgive, we are able to survive. The world is now at a turbulence where many have the hearts to attack. We will be forgiven by the gods if we remember the hearts of forgiving.

You can reach the truth from anywhere

     Whenever I have a chance to meet an American, I always get the impression that they like to say their own opinion as an individual. I mean they are opinionated in a good way. Even if they have a health problem or had to be in a wheel chair, they try to enjoy life within the rules they need to be in. It’s as if the birds are spreading their own wings wanting the world to see how beautiful they are. This is what the Japanese people lack, I think. I feel that Japanese people are always looking at the average, the standards and comparing themselves with it. Am I less or am I winning?  It’s a mixture of pleasure and anxiety. When he thinks he is more than average, he tends to show off. And when he thinks he is less than average, he gets overly depressed and often blame on his parents or his family about why he is that way. 

     As long as you are comparing yourself with others, you will never feel the true sense of happiness. The only real way to find true happiness is by recognizing your own inner good will and convincing yourself that you are good enough. One famous and successful entrepreneur once said, “I will never believe in god nor Buddha or any kind of religion but I have never had a moment to look away from my own sense of morality. I believe this was the source of my success and peace of mind. ” He also said, “People should believe and follow his innate morality. And that should be the philosophy of life.” I feel that in a way, it's the same as believing in your good will= innate god. This entrepreneur also had many enemies. But he was not afraid of what people might say. He only believed in his own moral about what is right and wrong. This made his successful in the society. He didn’t believe in any religion but his life was about believing in his own innate god. He did not depend on god or Buddha but had true faith in himself. He also said that he is not afraid or worried about his life after death because he always did what he thought was right. 

    This is the right thing to do, even looking from the point that YOU actually become the judge of where to go in the life after death. To follow your good will = innate god is the best thing you can do for yourself in this dimension. Trust your good will. In a real sense, this is the same as having faith to god.

Caring and thanking can avoid disaster

    The earthquake (M.4.8) occurred on May 18^th late afternoon in the Kanto area had a strange sensation even from a distance. I sense that our awareness had succeeded in minimizing the quake. We must also notice the center point of the quake is now moving to the land rather than offshore.

    In the Mayan Prophecy, May 20^th, 2012 is said to be the Return of the Jaguar Serpent. In Japan, the unusual Ring of Fire solar eclipse is seen on the 21^st. The sun – moon- earth will be aligned. This gravity pull will start to influence earth atmosphere from the 19^th.  It is also between the half tide and full tide. People are also talking about what could happen on 5.22 and 5.25. In my opinion, it’s not about any kind of cataclysm but a starting of a new cycle of the sun. The sun is showing gigantic sunspots since last week. This is a new movement that we had not seen before. The ancient people worshipped the sun. We should also do the same, send pure thanks to the sun. When enough people act on this, we will be able to pass this time smoothly. On the 19^th, the geosynchronus earth orbit electrons showed a drastic decline (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/elec_3d.html). And 35 hours later the earthquake occurred in Japan. On March 11^th, 2011 disaster, it happened 31 hours later. It means that when this GEOS electron flux shows a drastic change, within 31~ 35 hours the influence is seen on Earth grounds. It is not just in Japan, but it is happening all over the world. Japan will always shake. It’s like a base-isolating device.  Japan is located in the crossing of five large continents. Our land is used to the shake. But the countries that don’t have earthquake standard buildings should stay cautious for over M6 quakes.





   From May 21^st morning for one week, we should keep the disaster awareness in alert. 

   Yesterday in the Kanto area, we had some water cutoff. This was in a way a good simulation to prepare and be aware of the current situation. Once the big earthquake occurs, the first problem we face is lack of water but the cutoff.

    From few days ago, I am sensing that the Northern land including Hokkaido is pulled strongly towards the Pacific Ocean side deep channel.  It is bothering me at this time. I feel that deep down the channel is starting to collapse. And that may be the cause of the frequent quakes in this area. Once the collapse is stable, we will be at peace. The Chain of Islands of Japan is now like a baby trying to turn over to find a comfortable position. Once it has found the right position, it will be at peace. Let us continue to send gratitude to mother earth and to the sun daily this week. Then is will pass quietly.

Worrying too much can also be as bad as radiation exposure

    Reading about the specialist’s opinions, my total understanding about the nuclear radiation exposure and health is as below.

1.  Excessive exercise can create internal oxidation that could bring similar affect to the body as radiation exposure.
2. When the cause of death is from radiation exposure, it means the body has experienced sudden strong internal oxidation.

   Many people fear about the radiation exposure. But we must understand that radiation exposure is not like a bomb. The weapon is the extreme amount of active oxygen. This changes the image of a radiation exposure doesn’t it?  It’s the extreme amount of active oxygen that kills us. The professional athletes often suffer from health problem when they get old. A strong muscular body doesn’t always mean long living.

   So is the radiation exposure the only cause for a sudden internal oxidation? I sense that when we worry too much, strong anxiety, constant fear and sorrow… all of these type of stress to the body will also create internal oxidation. It will bring the same affect as radiation exposure to your body that would eventually create cancer.

    In the past, during a censure resolution meeting at the office, I was standing near the person who was accused. And I experienced a sudden sour odor from the sweat or sometimes a rotten protein smell from that person.  I think when people have a strong sudden stress, an internal oxidation occurs and create such symptoms. This is equivalent to radiation exposure.





    The more you worry the more you smell bad, so be careful. This proves that humans are quite a fascinating creature. Close to the creator. Just one thought could toxicate one body. This cannot be seen in other creatures.

    The smaller the animal, the smaller the range of emotions. Therefore if there was a radiation exposure, the reaction directly influences the body. However with humans, even without the radiation exposure we could create the damage on our own by our thoughts. This means that when we reverse the idea, we could also protect ourselves even living in a radiation exposed environment. 

     In the super ancient times, the Earth was in an extremely strong radiation environment. It has repeated a decreasing period and we are now in a mild state of radiation. The natural hot spring area still has higher radiation today which is one evident of the past. Thus we carry the DNA of humans who lived through those times. Believe in your strong DNA (ancestors) and live with optimistic views. This way of thinking is so much healthier for you. The internal oxidation in a long run will cause cancer and accelerate aging. In a short run it will cause bad blood circulation which leads to symptoms such as heart decease, numbness, brain infarction, etc.  

   

In order to avoid this, we should take antioxidant supplements such as vitamins and omega3. And most importantly not to worry too much. When you emanate the energy of gratitude in a daily basis, this effect is similar to antioxidant supplements.

Being aware could save us

(written May 5th)

    The Southern Hyogo prefecture earthquake (M7.3) in January 17th,1995 was in a full moon day. The earthquake (M9.0) and tsunami hit the Northern Japan on March 11^th, 2011, and the super moon occured on the 20^th of March just nine days after this disaster. In addition, March 11^th, 2011 was right in between the half tide and the neap tide.



    On May 6^th, the super moon (the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth) appear at 12:34pm. And at 12:35PM it became full moon. Usually there is more than an hour difference. But this time, it happened almost simultaneously. It may create unusual gravity pull. The time between the half tide and the neap tide will come seven days later. In the past, a week before or after the super moon, a big earthquake, volcanic activity or a giant tornado have occurred. 

The gravity pull influence is seen on Earth in a big way just before the full moon or new moon. Be watchful for May 6^th and 7^th, also the 13^th and 14^th.  And the new moon is on the 21^st of May. In the past, new moon has also created instability 

in the natural phenomenon. Especially this new moon in May will be bring annular eclipse. The sun-moon-earth will be aligned.

    This line will pass above Nankai, East-Nankai, Tokai, Tokyo Bay, Bōsō Peninsula and offshore of Ibaragi Prefecture. Be watchful during this time, May 20^th~22^nd. This May, we will be experiencing some unusual celestial phenomenon. When humans become consciously aware of what could happen, then we are able to prevent a disaster. I am imagining that it will pass like any other day.

    I am also feeling that people living in the Pacific Rim should be aware and prepared. Place like San Francisco and volcanic activity around that area. The volcanic activity in Hawaii, Mt.Fuji of Japan and Mt.Baekdu (North Korea) or Mt.Changbai (China) in the border of North Korea and China need attention too.





    The humans compressed the universe. We need to remember this. The human mind are the epicenter 

and the vibrational energy that is emanated from our heart influences our planet Earth. Therefore, we could change all predictions by changing our thoughts. Lets send thanks to our mother earth everyday from now on. And we will be all right.

Look at yourself and others while staying in the Now

　Ryokan, an authentic Japanese Buddhist monk lived in a village. He didn’t want to get involved with any Buddhist organizations, so he had to make a living on his own. He had to work just like the other ordinary people. He worked as an amanuensis. He also did calligraphy and paintings and sold it in exchange for food and clothes. The other monks wore clean and beautiful robes and lived by donations from the common people. They pretended not to notice Ryokan. 
    The way Ryokan lived did not create any spiritual debt. But the other monks who have used the donations for their personal living expenses would have to pay back in the afterlife.  This is one law in the Spirit World that is still active today. Ryokan was loved by all the people in the village. That was because he voiced only good words. If one would meet Ryokan, he would only praise him or be in gratitude. Those words were very healing for the village people. Ryokan was a man who was determined only to use good words. It was actually not something he consciously chose but it was his nature (innate god/goodness).  There are always some bad guys who don’t find a good man like Ryokan favorable. Ryokan was very popular amongst the people and they were not happy about it. They even thought to try and reveal is bad side.  There is a story about this ferryboat paddler. One day Ryokan got on a ferryboat by himself. When the boat came to the middle of the river, the paddler shook the boat so Ryokan would fall off, knowing that he couldn’t swim. Ryokan fell into the river and tried to swim as hard as he could to reach the boat. The paddler waited for a while and when he thought it was enough bullying he helped him up to get back on the boat. The paddler was curious to what Ryokan would say. Then Ryokan said, “thank you so much for saving me. You are my life savor.” And bowed deeply. The paddler was thinking to push him back into the river if he complained. But Ryokan, on the other hand, had thanked  him instead even though he knew he shook the boat on purpose. The paddler got ashamed of himself how stupid he had behaved.

   Ryokan was always in the Now moment. The fact that the paddler shook him off the boat was already in the past. He focused on the now, the fact that he saved him. And he thanked him for that. He did it from honesty, from the bottom of his heart. Ryokan was a genius in seeing what is going on in the now moment. He simply looked at the fact that he saved him and sent his gratitude. We should really learn from him. Rather than paying attention to the past, we need to train our mind to focus on the now and see the opponent in the “right” way. We often have an assumption, a preconceived idea about the person. We respond from the data from the past and not looking at the now. We are not trying to see the attitude, what is going on in the now moment.

  Where are you looking at?  Are you often looking at the past? Are you often worried about the future? Either way, you are missing the present moment. You are not living the NOW. The future is built up by what you do now. If your energy is not focused in the now, then your future will be weak. That is why it’s important to focus on the every now moments and be in gratitude. This is the one and only way to have a good future.


 
    We often like to judge people. How do we do that? We do it by the data from the past and give a preconceived idea. We often tend to look at what bad he did in the past and judge him. We are not trying to look at the present behavior. People change everyday. As long as we live, we will come across many situations and we change. Some people change for the better, some people turn dissolute. 
When we look at people, we tend to judge them from the past experiences. And there are so many people still suffering today from what other people did in the past. He bullied me, he cheated on me, he deceived me…etc.  We tend to see the person through a filter from the past. It often happens between a parent and a child as well. Yet, as long as you see things from the filter of the past, you are not able to see the person in the right way. It’s a good idea to learn from the past experiences, but don’t judge the person from it. It’s important to try and see what is going on in the now. This is not only about other people but also to do the same for yourself.  There are people who suffer from what they did in the past. They don’t see the present in a calm and peaceful manner and always judge oneself from the past. In fact, most people who are suffering today are suffering from the past. Spiritually observing that situation, there is a spirit /magnetic energy possessing/sticking on to you. It’s all you. When you think about the past so often, the residue from the past remains in the present moment. It’s like the plural-you are there in parallel. When these magnetic energy (spirit) from the past becomes independent, it creates an illness called multiple personality or bi-polar disorder. The phenomenon of the poltergeist is also mostly coming from yourself. The emotions left in the past still remaining in the present becomes independent and creates some strange phenomenon.

In order to calm this condition:

1. Send gratitude to your past-self. No matter how bad the past was you have to say thank you. You are alive today because you had the past. You should not allow your past-being(s) live in the present. 

By sending gratitude, you are bundling up all parts of self and bringing it back together in the present. Come back to the present moment and observe yourself in a calm and peaceful manner.

2. Send gratitude daily to your ancestors and to your innate god/goodness. This is very important. When you can care for others and be grateful, the energy will come back to you. The same thing can be said when you judge others the energy will come back to you too.

   These are key points to change your life for the better. Today, I talked about the importance to look at yourself and others always in the present moment. 
And adding to it, be grateful. This is the secret to bring good luck into your life.

The Grasshopper and the Ant

    The international research team including the staffs from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and Riken has announced, “We have released a news about the solar polar magnetic field reversal observed by Hinode（the solar observatory).” <http://hinode.nao.ac.jp/index_e.shtml>

“The estimated completion of the reversal of the north polar region will take place in 1 months or so, about one year earlier than the nominal expected reversal time.” (read more on the above English page web address )

   This fluctuation in the solar inner activity has been observed for the first time since the modern technology on solar observation has been installed.  Similar phenomenon is told to have occurred during the Maunder and Dalton Minimum period. Some researchers have said that the Earth experiences climate down falls that is called the Little Ice Age.  

　Starting from this year, cold summers and winters may escalate. 
Last winter, we already had record-breaking low temperatures and heavy snow. And the trend may go on further as the years go by. An American guy named Bill had mentioned about this to me. (http://isehakusando-eng-version.blogspot.jp/2011/05/business-trip-to-us.html)  
The United States is already preparing for this since ten years ago. The government is stocking oil and food supply in case of emergency situation. According to Bill’s story, he said that we would no longer have to indulge in war business.  This links to the fact that US President Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting nuclear disarmament. So why will there be no more war? 
Because the US government is predicting that we will be experiencing severe climate changes and natural disasters all over the world, and survival will become our main issue. I think that maybe the colder climate countries like Russia may have more advantageous at this time. I am concerned more about the countries closer to the equator. Especially from next year, in Japan, I would recommend to grow rice types that are stronger in colder weather. Any other agricultural products also need consideration about cold summer. I sincerely hope the farmers would come to this recognition before they actually experience a great loss.

    I sense that the rice type named Ise-Hikari that is now growing at the sacred rice field of Ise Jingu shrine would be able to overcome the coming cold summers. This rice was developed at the time of the present Emperor’s enthronement. The government should really be instructing these plans for national protection and security. However, we will most likely enter the phase without any government guidance. Therefore, we should prepare individually.

    The new moon has come on the 21st. We might be experiencing some gravity influence. Pay attention to your emotions and be watchful during driving a car.

The more you climb the better the view

    The nature of kami (god) is a mirror. It reflects everything and shows it to us. That's why when you send gratitude towards your own innate god, the energy of gratitude will grow inside you and reflect in your life. In other words, when you do this daily from the bottom of your heart, there will be things actually happening in your life that you will be overwhelmed with joy. If you are only asking for help to god, I wonder what the reflection will be? The reflection might be too heavy for you to handle. You are actually strangling yourself. The more you ask for help to god, the more weight you are putting onto yourself. This is not a good situation. 
The strangled heart becomes weak and misses the chances of good luck.  


     Now here is a question. When the mirror (kami) wants to see himself, how does he see it? 
I think, the only way he sees himself is by looking at the world. In Japanese old saying, we say you look at the child to see who or what kind of parents they are. So if you see this third dimensional world, you will see what kami looks like, or what kami is all about. The point is how YOU choose to see the world. There are all kinds of situations presented in this world. There are many tragedies, sufferings and cruelty going on in this world. At the same time, there are many wonderful and good things occurring as well.   But there are so many people in this world. This is another fact. And I think this is an evidence of love of humanity. To raise a child is one serious accomplishment. It takes so much work and other people’s help. It is really a continuous work of a miracle. No matter how tragedic and poor the country is, as long as there are children, god still wants them to live. This is god showing his love. The future is a blank sheet of paper. Like us, god is also observing how it will become. When we think about the future, how you want it to be, if it was a playful thought, I think it becomes a reality more than when you are desiring strongly. When it’s a playful light thought, there is no ego. And that's why I think it works better. No matter how big the dream is, it will come true when it comes true. Don’t believe in fate. You are the creator who makes things happen. Don’t forget that you are the creator, the reflection of kami.  Most of the people have forgotten about this. We used to be in oneness. The separation of god and human was the beginning of the tragedy. God is waiting for us to see his reflection on us. So lets not give up and keep having good thoughts. And the way to be in oneness once again is by saying “ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu. Thank you for letting us live.”
 

We are all the same

A comment from a reader:  I am so lonely. I live alone and feeling isolated. I am so lonely that tears are falling. When I think about my life, thinking that I might have to live alone like this forever, I just don’t want to go to work and stay inside my bed. And I wish I never wake up. Those I care about don't like me and even at work there are discrimination. Why do I have to suffer and be in sorrow? The world without love is sad isn’t it? God you should understand by now. Individual’s sadness, loneliness is like this. I’m not sure how much longer I can stay like this.

My impression to this comment: I would like to say to this person that God feels that same. 
God is also alone. We must bring something to life with our own mind and heart. Everything starts from giving. That is the key to life. 
 God was also lonely for billions of years. The dark universe went on for forever.  This is the same situation as you are in now.  But one day, god decided to stop waiting for something to happen. He started to bring out the feeling into sounds (vibrational energy). And thouse sounds resonated around the universe creating sound waves. The sound waves gave birth to many things. During a long long extensive period of time the stars were born. And more time had pasted and humans were born. The ultimate source, the Root God who created the gods and goddesses had also created humans. And it is all designed for the individuals to experience everything in a shorter period what the Root God had experienced in a longer term.  Thus, you are now experiencing the dark days of the Root God.

    The sense of loneliness will reach its peak and from there a big bang will occur. At this point, when you try to find a solution outside of self, in other words, if you depend on others or some sort of religion and try to escape from the truth, your loneliness will never disappear. The big bang will not occur and you will have to continue smoldering. After experiencing passivity, dependency for many years or life times, one day you will say to yourself “enough.” Then the big bang will occur from your inner voice. One should not depend on a god figure. A god figure is something you care for and defend/protect. When you have the hearts to care and protect something or someone, you are actually caring and protecting yourself. This is one law of the universe.

     You might be thinking, just tell me what I should do now without all that distant story. But as long as you cannot care for your innate god and your ancestors, you will always feel lost and dissatisfied. You might think, once you become rich, own a company, get married … everything will change. But that is not true. These material things cannot fill your heart in a true sense. Everyone goes through birth, aging, sickness and death. Even though you have no money, experiencing unjust or illness, as long as you could feel your god within and your ancestor and have the sense of giving thanks, you will start to change. Go go go! Emanate the sense of gratitude from within. Then your life will certainly change.

Unwind your heart

    With the most recent TV models, all you need to do is to plug into the antenna, and type in your zip code. And the TV will automatically set you up to the channels in your district. It has become so easy and simple. In the old days, we had to start from the zzzzzz sound with all the lines showing on the TV screen and had to make adjustments.  We needed the electrician to come and do it for us. Now we can do it all on our own.

　  The electro-magnetic waves exist in the air and it has to resonate with your TV at home in order to make it work. The same thing can be said about the spirits existing in the air. The problem is what kind of spirits are you resonating with? What sort of energy are you putting out? And as you know, like attracts like energy. The divine godly energy that creates lives in this world is also around us alive and well. Their electro-magnetic waves are very simple. Even the ultimate source, the Root God is saying,“Thank you for letting us live.” The energy that is emanating from the root is also a thanking kind of energy. It's not saying,“I will let you live”or“you must live.”  It is just saying,“thank you” as if it's saying consciously towards a particular subject or an object. The root source is simply pouring out the energy of arigatō (gratitude) all the time and continues to give birth to all beings. The true god is not looking to receive thanks but is in gratitude at all times.

  

     The energy of gratitude will give birth to like energy. We should try to do the same.  When you are going to start something new say, “thank you for letting me challenge this.” When you are building a house say, “thank you for letting me build a house here on this land.” When you are starting a new job say, “thank you for letting me have this job.” Start everything by saying, “ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu, thank you for letting us live,” and it will energize like energy into your life and all things around you.

      When I was writing the above words in the screen, a revelation came to me. It said, “this is the meaning of Kotohogi (言祝・寿ぎ) in Shintoism.” The essential truth of Shintoism is about blessing and celebrating everyone and everything. That is all, nothing else. When you are able to do this and ONLY this, you are giving birth to new good things, you are able to bring luck into your life. It is super simple. It is super uncomplicated. When you are able to bless everyone and everything, only say things to praise, you are actually purifying and cleansing yourself. And naturally good energy will be able to reach you. All fights and conflicts is merely a tangled string. Simply unwind it, and send a blessing. Give thanks that you are led to live. Then you can start over. Start weaving your life again.

    Unlike in the 20^th century when we had to adjust our TV sets, we are now able to set-up with our zip code and boom here it is! It has become so easy and simple. And now we can do it on our own. The old complicated chanting words, spending a lot of time sitting in front of an altar for rituals are no longer necessary. Those are out of date and expired. All we need to say is, “ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu, thank you for letting us live.” This is the timely chant to resonate with the highest divinity. Please for god sake, don't go to some strange "sensei", guru or a psychic and pay a lot of money thinking you can save yourself or others. You are only putting filth onto yourself.

     Time moves on, and we evolve. Everyday is a new day. The word Kotohogi has such a beautiful sound to it. Lets just stay simple, be in this Kotohogi (gratitude) and live through. If you can do that, I can guarantee things will unwind and rebundle again in the right way.

Ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu

Thank you for letting us live
