The Magnetic Energy of the Hōden

Hōden < 宝殿 > can be literally translated as the "treasure shrine". It is the storage shrine where the sacred treasures or the offerings are stored. Usually the storage shrines are apart from the main shrine, honden < 本殿 >, either behind the main shrine or somewhere in a hidden unnoticeable place.

However, at The Grand Shrine of Ise, it is different. The two hōden are placed on both sides of the honden. At the Gegū, the outer shrine, when the visitors are facing the main shrine, the two treasure shrines are in the front, and you see the main shrine in the back center. It seems as if the two treasure shrines are holding the sacred energy, and the god is worshipped by the visitors through that channel. At the Naigū, the inner shrine, the honden is in the front center and the hōden are placed at the back on both sides.

Some scholars say that these positioning are symmetric images of the celestial map. The main shrine is the North Star. The two treasure shrines represent the pair, the Big Dipper (the seven stars in the northern sky) and the Milk Dipper (the six stars in the southern sky). The fact that the two treasure shrines are placed in the front at Naikū and in the back at Gegū, signifies the summer and the winter solstice. I totally agree with the scholars on this.

But I would like to add a little more about the spiritual energy of the hōden, the two treasure shrines. At the Gegū, where the treasure shrines are placed in the front, I always feel an enormously strong divine power from the front. However, when I visit the Naikū where the two treasure shrines are placed in the back, the divine power is felt more from the back. I always thought strange of this.


So I asked the spirits of this secret. The answers I received was about the magnetic energy, the divine power, that comes from the hōden. The hōden are full of artworks/offerings that were made by the masters who put their soul into the craftsmanship. The art pieces hold the sacred magnetic energy from the craftsman. When the craftsmen are asked to donate their work to The Grand Shrine of Ise, they start from finding the right material. For example, if it was a lacquer dish, he would start from finding the right wood, the right lacquer. We could not imagine how many people become involved in this process. I have heard that some craftsman would surround his workspace with a shimenawa, sacred rope, and only allow limited people to enter his workspace. The offerings that are made with such care and soul would have a very high vibrational magnetic energy.

The hōden, the treasure shrine, that stores many of these offerings is like a high voltage battery. But the batteries do need to be changed after a while. And it seems like every twenty years is the right cycle. Even if the batteries are high in its spiritual voltage, after twenty years it is weakened.


At The Grand Shrine of Ise, they hold a big event every twenty years called “Shikinen-Sengu” <式年遷宮>. They rebuild the whole structure of the shrines and the offerings or the treasures.

As an esoteric art, this every twenty year ritual seems to be a pragmatic one. The people in the ancient times knew that the twenty year cycle was the limit for the objects to hold a high spiritual voltage to protect the divine power for the sacred land.

The Origin of Sun Worship

At The Grand Shrine of Ise, they hold a big event every 20 years called “Shikinen-Sengu” 式年遷宮. They rebuild all the shrines from scratch. At The Grand Shrine of Ise, there is an open space next to all the shrines called “place of Sengu.” The open space is the exact same size space as the existing shrine. Every 20 years, they would rebuild the shrine on this open space.


All of the accessories and treasures called shinpō <神宝> are also renewed every 20 years. Why does it have to be 20 (futo in Japanese) ? There are many different theories, but simply know that it is done according to a divine will that has been kept from the ancient time.

The basic of Shinto is to worship the Sun. All the Shinji < 神事 >, events held at a Shinto shrine, reflects and signifies the movement of the sun or its character.

For example:

1. When the new shrine is rebuilt on the right side open space of the existing shrine, it means that the sun has been reborn and signifies a sunrise.

2. After 20 years, the shrine is taken down which signifies a sunset.

3. When the new shrine is rebuilt on the left side open space of the existing shrine, it means that the sun has reborn in another dimension.

4. After another 20 years, the sun rises again back in the same dimension.


This tells us that forty years cycle in our human cycle is equivalent to one day of the sun cycle = The World of the Gods.

It’s like the folk tale “Urashima-taro”, when a young man goes to The World of Gods < 神界 >, and returns in two days (= 80 years), he turns into an old man after returning to the World of Reality.

The space that holds the existing shrine represents the World of Reality, the physical body, the visible. And the open space of “Sengu” represents the World of Gods, the spiritual body, the invisible.

The man who created and started this curious event “Sengu” is Emperor Tenmu(673~86AC).

He is a very interesting character. He had created a war with his elder brother to fight for the Imperial Throne. He defeats his brother and become the Emperor. This karma has been going on in the Imperial Family even before him. Later Emperor Kammu had inherited this fate and kills his younger brother.



When I use my psychic vision to see the background of Emperor Tenmu, I sense the influence of Taoism that arrived from China. During his youth as a prince, he had left the Imperial Family and entered a monastery in Yoshino, Nara. He seemed to have gone to Ise, Kumano area as well to train in Shugendo* < 修験道 > and some Shinto rituals. I sense that through his training in Taoism and Shugendo*, he had come up with the idea of “Sengu.”

And even before the Sengu was establised, just 2000 years ago, Yamato-hime-no-mikoto(倭姫命), an Imperial Princess came up with the idea to built the Naikū of The Grand Shrine of Ise. She connected to the 8th rank* of Amaterasu-Ohomikami, the Sun Goddess, and was led by the ultimate 10th rank of Amaterasu-Ohomikami, the mother of all rank, to come to Ise and build the Naikū.

And before any shrine was built on the sacred ground of Ise, in the very ancient times, the local people of Ise visited this ground to worship the Stone Pillars. One pillar was brought from Haku-san as a stone that the Root God resides. It was placed where it is now the Gaikū. There was another stone pillar located at Izawa-no-miya of today which was said to represent the 10th rank of Amaterasu-Ohomikami. These stone pillars are now buried under these sacred grounds.

These traces are all led by the Kunitama <国魂>, the soul of a country, Amaterasu-Ohomikami (Sun Goddess) and Kunitokotachi-Ōkami (Earth God). The energy of these gods are guiding different families and people to the right place at the right time and governing Japan.

Ranks: According to the author, each god has ranks(derivatives) or different levels that can be sensed by humans. The higher the rank, the higher the vibrational energy.

Shugendo 修験道: Syncretic religious order which combined elements of ancient pre- Buddhist worship of mountains with the doctrine and ritual of Esoteric Buddhism.

Time for Female Leaders

Yamato-hime-no-mikoto(倭姫命) was an Imperial Princess who carried the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu-Ohomikami on her back all the way to Ise. Queen Himiko (卑弥呼) mastered incantation and ruled the country. Such examples show that in ancient Shinto, the supreme priests were always women.

Today, Ise Jingu (伊勢神宮) is the only shrine that is keeping this tradition. The other shrines have become a male oriented structure. The miko (巫女), the shrine maiden, are in a lower post and the priests are all men.

From now on, the World of Gods will start to interfere directly to our dimension. And so the Shinto priests who are behaving like a bureaucrat will start to naturally disappear.

Around the time of Setsubun (節分；see article Feb-6-09), both Mt.Asama and Mt. Aso in Kumamoto (熊本) erupted along with small earthquakes. This was a message from the World of Gods. It was the gong to notify that the gods are starting to make judgments on who shall live and who shall disappear.

There is also Mt.Asama (朝熊山) in Ise. It has the letter “熊” as well as in Kumamoto (熊本).
Kuma “熊” means bear. “熊” is a word that derives from China. The true meaning of this word is “sacred, god, the source of the divine.” Mt Asama in Ise is a sacred mountain where people held ceremonies to worship the Sun Goddess and Kukurihime-kami (ククリ姫神／see article 5-11-08) of Mt.Haku, in the ancient times.

Worshipping the Sun Goddess and Kukurihime-kami at Mt. Asama was the most important ceremony for the Haku-san tradition. However, it was lost by the time the Naikū of Ise Jingu was established (697AC). Today, there is only a Buddhist temple in that location.

From now on, the spiritual vibrational energy of Mt.Asama in Ise will resurrect. The line between Mt.Asama of Ise and Mt.Haku (Haku-san) is the spiritual line that is most important for Japan and Earth to live. This line is where Japan was born in the super ancient times. This line holds the key to our future.

Going back about women being the leader in ancient Shinto, this tradition still remains in Okinawa. They call it Ryukyu Shinto. (Okinawa once had its own Ryuku Kingdom. They had their own polytheistic beliefs and rituals worshipping the nature. They don’t have a name for their religion but today it is called Niraikanai or Ryukyu Shinto.)

The Okinawans believe in worshipping the Sun and East as a sacred direction. The Noro (priestess) always carries her own incense burner as a sacred object in her daily ritual. The smoke from the burning incense was believed to attract the god spirits, and it was an essential tool for the humans to become one with god. The incense burner is called “Konjin” amongst the Noros, and to them, it was identified as god.

During the time of the Ryukyu Kingdom, not only the Noros but all women carried their own incense burner. If you go to an old family of Okinawa, by counting the number of incense burners they have, you could tell how many generations they have lasted and their history.

Okinawa still holds the original beliefs of ancient Shinto. Worshipping the Sun, the sacred East, and the Konjin. This has a very deep meaning. “Konjin” is 金神, the Golden God, which is signifying Kunitokotachi- Ōkami (the God of Earth).

Asama (朝熊) and Konjin (金神) is one of the secret of ancient Shinto. The true original Shinto, is starting to rise once again through Ise-Hakusan-Do

Hakusan （白山）– The Sacred Mountains

Shira-mine (白峰) is the name of the village where the entrance of the trail begins towards the peak of Haku-san (Mt.Haku). In the very old days, it was called Ushi-kubi-mura. Ushi means cow. Kubi means neck. Mura means village. What an awkward name. People say that the name derives from the shape of the village that looks like a neck of a cow.

But when I hear Ushi-kubi (牛首)、 Emperor Gozu (牛頭天皇) comes into my mind. Gozu means the head of a cow. Emperor Gozu was said to be one of the child of Susanoo in the Mythology of Japan. The blue colored spiritual body of Susanoo has appeared in different forms at different periods in our history. The energy of Susanoo was most active during the Heian Period (794AC~1185AC), and appeared in a very special figure. He was called Ushi-kubi (牛首). Ushi-kubi is an oni (鬼), an ogre (not always evil. In this case it comes from the Righteous World of the Gods). The person who was called Ushi-kubi actually had two horn like lumps on his head.


During and before the Heian Period, things like this happened often. It was a time when people where still connected with the spiritual world. The horns that come in my vision are about two to four inches long. It is rounded on the top. It appears to be made out of hardened skin. The horns seem to have appeared as a sign in the early stage of the development of males who had taken over the strong spiritual energy of Susanoo. After the Heian Period, as the development matured, even though some still inherit the spiritual energy of Susanno, the horns are no longer obvious as a physical sign.


From my understanding, the reason why the village under Haku-san was called Ushi-kubi is because at that time, there were two males with this horns, protecting Haku-san. They were the spiritual body of Susanoo in a human figure who did not allow anyone to enter the sacred mountain until 1300BC. They lived in Ushi-kubi-mura in Ishikawa Prefecture but was able to spiritually protect the whole range of mountains from Gifu Prefecture to Fukui Prefecture. I sense that they had unbelievable amount of stamina. Even nowadays, people tell me that it is common for the people in Shiramine to climb the mountain twice a day for their duties until they reach 60 yrs old. The mountain is 2700m (9000 feet) high. Last year, I heard a 90 yrs old man from that village who climbed to the top and return in one day. (It takes average of 8 hrs one way). It tells how strong these men are in this village.

From where I live, I could see the figure of Haku-san. Few times a year, it appears in the blue-white light reflecting in the sunlight. It is still the sacred mountains that receive the protection of Susanoo and Haraedo-Yonshin*(祓戸四神). It is the range of mountains that received the first breath of life on this planet Earth from The Root God.

Best to stay Who YOU Are

After Setsubun* (Feb. 3rd), I am sensing that the most important thing from now on is to maintain your spirit body in a good condition.

To keep your own color, your way to live, becomes very important. Even if the life or color of others looks better, you should be aware that, for you, the same color of lifestyle might be poisonous.

We now have entered a phase where our fate will be determined. Especially, receiving other’s spiritual energy (healing works) could be fatal. In this dimension, our spirit body is like a DVD disk. It records and holds all your spiritual energy. By paying someone to work on you, not only are you changing your own color but destroying your own disk.

Until now, people who were manipulated by a spiritual leader (leader of a religious sect), their disk was scratched enough to be brainwashed. From now on, it will be more of a serious matter. Your disk will be completely destroyed. Your life will turn upside down.

Receiving spiritual work from healers who are worshipped as “Sensei”(master), you are actually destroying your own disk. Those who became a famous healer, making a lot of money out of their healing work, are mostly sent from an evil spirit to destroy human’s own spiritual disk.

When the evil spirit behind the healer is a fox spirit, the healer will start to have a split mouth like a laughing fox. It will start to be visible even in ordinary people’s eyes. If the evil spirit behind takes the form of a snake, you can feel the coldness around that healer.

I have received a notice from a god that when this starts to happen, it is the final warning to these evil healers.

It is completely a different story, when you are asking for an “o-harai”, purification, at an official Shinto shrine. You are actually not receiving the purification directly but you are offering it to the god who resides at that shrine. What you offer to the god reflects on you like a mirror. In truth, a purification ritual at a shrine works like that. You offer a purification to the god, and then, the energy reflects on you and you are purified at the same time.

From now on, you must really trust yourself until the last minute. If you are in a miserable condition, simply accept that condition. That is all you need to do. The acceptance will set you free. Don't go to some healer crying for help. It will be fatal. You will be selling your soul and destroying your disk.

The purpose of life is not about having a successful life in this lifetime. The reason why you were born is to maintain your soul for eternity. You will become a true successor when you have trusted yourself until the last minute. If you were born weak or sick, no matter how your appearance is, it’s ok. Just accept your condition and live through in your own color. If you had not depend on others begging for mercy and lived through with dignity, trusting your own innate god, you are a successor. At the end, like the Amida-Nyorai (Buddha of the beyond and afterlife), your innate god will hold you tight and take you to heaven.

From now on, your spiritual rituals should be kept only to offer gratitude to your ancestral spirits and to the gods. And live your life fully. Hardships may come around, but stay strong and keep your spirit going. Know that you are led to live. Be grateful to it and enjoy the big waves that might be passing through.

*Setsubun: In Japan, Setsubun (節分) is the day before the beginning of each season. The name literally means "seasonal division", but usually the term refers to the spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun (立春) celebrated yearly on February 3 as part of the Spring Festival (春祭 haru matsuri?). In its association with the Lunar New Year, Spring Setsubun can be thought of (and was previously thought of) as a sort of New Year's Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come. This special ritual is called mamemaki (豆撒き, lit. bean scattering- Evil out, Happiness in.) – From Wikipedia

Age 42 is a time for Self-Realization

If you were a hard worker with a good heart, experienced all the happiness and sorrows of life and being truthful to yourself, it will show on your face as you age. Someone who has devoted his/her life in mastering an art or a kind of craftsmanship, a shokunin(職人), has a really good face, even if he/she is not a believer in god.

On the other hand, when one believes in god, tries to convince people to join the organization and gather money, his or her face turns into an ugly one. It is better off not to be religious than having this kind of false religion. Even you don’t believe in god, if you lived a good, faithful and hard working life, at the end, you will start to naturally understand that you were “led to live” and that there might be an existence of something in a grandeur scale beyond our normal understanding. Although, it is a pity to realize this in your last moment.

The more you devote yourself to your work and help others or encourag others to live on, you will come to a realization much earlier in your life.

When you have lived your life fully and truthfully, at the age of 42, you will naturally start to have a sense of gratitude towards your ancestors and gods. In Japan, 42 is an age of Yakudoshi (climacteric or critical age). They say bad or unlucky things could happen at this age.
But this is a wrong interpretation. In truth, age of 42 is when you reach a self-realization to what your position(mission) is. How to serve to humanity on this planet Earth.

To realize your own talent that gods has given you and to use that talent, that is the true meaning of becoming religious.

The right way to become a true religious person is not about joining an organization or going to church. As long as you have the sense of gratitude in your own heart towards the gods, that is a right path. If you are not able to realize this, even you think you have devoted yourself to a religion, you will most likely have to come back to experience another life.

It is commonly understood that in your Yakudoshi you should go to a shrine to receive oharai, purification. But in fact, it is an age where you should be reaching self-realization, one level of awakening. It is also one ending of a cycle of your physical body. The life-style you have had until that point will reflect on that year. It is a good year to go and have a total physical examination.

Age of 42 is said to be a Yakudoshi（厄年） for men and for women it is at age 33, but spiritually age 42 applies for both men and woman. To begin with, human has a cycle of twelve years. One cycle is twelve years, and going for ten cycles (age 120) is said to be the limit in our physical condition. Between the third cycle (age 36) and the forth cycle (age 48) seems to be the most critical time. And the middle of this is age 42. This is a turning point for your heart space.

Suicide is the worst thing you could do to yourself

Suicide means you kill your own god. It is the worst thing one can do.
It is better to be poor and miserable. Help the young ones who are suffering from the same sickness.

It is a serious crime to kill one’s own innate god. It is as bad as killing someone else. It will affect all the way around your family and relatives. It is taken more heavily than you think.

When someone kills themself, it is usually because they are suffering. But the terrible thing is, when you kill yourself, you will be frozen in the same suffering state forever. You think you want to get out of the misery and kill yourself. But acutally the misery continues forever after death. When you kill youself, you no longer have a physical body, so the pain becomes more sensitive and the sense of suffering becomes stronger. Even if you declare that you will not trouble your children or relatives after you die, you just won’t be able to bear the pain and most definitely go to someone who might possibly understand you and cry for mercy.

A suicide karma is very strong. It has a tendency to repeat over and over again in your family. It is very difficult to get out of this karma.

If your loved one died and wish to meet that person in your dream, send the energy of gratitude toward that person. You should not stay in sadness and keep your painful heart. It will only keep you away from meeting that person again in your dream. If you kill yourself because you want to see that person again, most likely you will not able to see him/her again.

If you live the way that will bring worries to the diceased beloved one, the negative energy of worring from that person will stay with you, cloud your life and your spiritual growth will be stopped. If you want him/her to be happy and meet again in your dreams, it is very important to do your best to live a good life with gratitude, and send him/her gratitude as well.

Nothing goes to waste

There is an act called Kagezen (陰膳 or 影膳). Kage (陰) means “shade” also used as a term “to support secretly”. Kage(影) means “shadow.” Zen(膳) means “meal.” Kagezen is about the act of praying for the return of someone who has been missing. During the time of war, when a family member was missing, people used to do the Kagezen in front of a photo of the missing person offering food on the altar. They pray for the missing person to live without hunger. This act is spiritually practical. The person who is missing does not know about his or her family member doing the Kagezen, nor does the food actually get delivered. But somehow his or her condition maintains to be healthy. In this world, everything is spiritually connected. Our acts are reflecting on everything outside of us. However, when we cannot see the results, we underrate our behaviors. You might do bad things thinking no one is watching your act. No one watching doesn’t mean you can get away with it. It will always reflect back on you some way or another.

Acting on ancestral worship with gratitude has a very strong meaning. During our short period a lifetime, if you act on healing your ancestors, the reflection of the spiritual energy of that act will last for a very long time. The act takes only three minutes every day, but it will be engraved in the eternal time and space of the future.

Even you have a good heart trying to help others, when you are carrying a lot of negative magnetic energy of the lost souls of your own ancestors, your heart will remain heavy and uneasy.

The god spirit who talks to me is asking me to increase the population of people who are in gratefulness about the daily small things taken for granted. One cannot do this in a true sense, if they have heavy energy coming from their own ancestral spirits. That is why the ancestral worship with tanzaku is very effective. The tanzaku will take over the static energy that comes from your ancestral spirits. You need something for the spirits to reside other than your own body so you don’t become sick. The tanzaku will take up the chaotic stressful magnetic energy that occurs in this world of reality. Some of those energy might be coming from a living person. The idea behind the tanzaku kuyō is to take over all spirits alive and dead who might come to you.


The god spirit says, “even if you are physically sick, poor, or in a miserable state, if your heart is light and healthy you will be able to become a divine pillar. When you become a divine pillar, you will attain true eternity.”

The Return of the Divine Pillar - Part 3

What really surprised me in Seoul is the price of a taxi ride. The charge starts from 1900 won. It is about 140 yen ($1.40). I was assuming that the charge would keep going up very fast. But the taxi drove about 80km/hr like a racer chasing the car in front of him for quite a distance and the price was still 1900 won. If you are taking the taxi with more than two people, I would recommend taking the taxi. Its cheaper than taking the subway. 140 yen is the price of 1 liter of gas in Japan. It will probably cost over 2000 yen ($20) to drive that distance. I was shocked to know the big differences in the value. It means that the system of currency in this world is built on some other factors, ignoring the actual labor. The price of gas has a common value around the world, yet there is a 15 times discrepancy on the price for the labor of the driver. Such system of currency is corrupted. One’s innate god = conscience should not be bought by such corrupted society. We will not be able to Live. If we bring in such garbage into this world, the god will punish us.

The day we were returning to Japan, we left the hotel at 5:30am and took a bus. I was fine until this point accepting the spiritual magnetic energy coming into my body from Mt. Hakuto. But suddenly, I was struck by an intense sense of chilliness and nausea. It was like having an extremely bad hangover. At the same time, a vision came into my mind. It was a series of scenes from this past several thousand years that took place at this peninsula. A horrific tragedy. I was forced to see the scenes for one hour until we arrived to the airport. It seems that I received the last bit of the magnetic energy of the third pillar.

We arrived to Japan. At the parking lot, I stood facing towards Mt.Haku and all of the chilliness and nausea seem to dissipate.

The photo of our family’s faces we took during this trip captured three equilateral triangle of lights in beautiful light green color. It is also called “mitsutomoe(三つ巴/ shown on pics).” When you carefully look inside each of the orbs, you can clearly see a complex pattern that looks like the design engraved on a copper mirror from the ancient times.

The attached photo of a “mitsutomoe” design was sent by one of the reader, but it looks just like this. The design pattern on an ancient mirror has a deep spiritual meaning.

The Return of the Divine Pillar - Part 2

On Dec. 31st, we arrived at Seoul Incheon International Airport. As we drove a taxi to the hotel, we passed by the Great South Gate that was burnt early last year. After a brief check-in at the hotel, we soon went out to town. We took a taxi once again. As we were passing the Great East Gate, I sensed a very subtle vibrational energy going through my heart. I became aware that the mission had started. I was surprise to know that my body was not resisting the energy so much. I believe this might have to do with my change of diet. Since last October, I have changed to unpolished rice (brown rice) harvested in the special year 2008 from regular white rice. If my spirit body had any impurity I could have suffered from the static energy. Though, it did not stay like that until the very end of my journey.

Around 3pm on the 31st, I sensed the energy of the third pillar moving towards Mt.Haku in Japan. As I was touring around the town, a phrase came into my mind. “Some how, it’s going to work out.” When I translate this, it sounds like “from troubles and hardships towards peace.” After having some troubles and hardship, we will be entering a new world.
During our stay in Seould, we made at least three round trips between the Great East Gate and the Great South Gate.

This routine of a kamiwaza (an act on god’s will) reminded me of the kamiwaza “Uzushio(渦潮) and Naruto(鳴門)” and “Fuji(富士=不死) and Naruto(鳴門).”
These kamiwaza has been held for over one hundred years at Akashi Strait and Naruto Strait. A lot of Shintoists have been acting on these kamiwazas. I was always suspicious about these events. They go on an excursion ship on at the eddying tide(uzushio) or get into the ocean. It didn't feel right to me to think such act as a kamiwaza. Just because the name Naruto is mentioned, why would they go to Naruto Strait? I was always wondering.

By acting on the kamiwaza to gather the third pillar, I now understand the true meaning of the matrix of these kamiwazas. It is meant to teach us that "after a swirl of hardships, a new gate will always be opened to the world."

The Return of the Divine Pillar - Part 1

In May of Year Heisei 20* (2008), I was told by a God to go to Korea to bring back the third stone pillar that was taken to Mt.Hakuto in North Korea. For some reason, I was told to go to Seoul, South Korea and go back and forth several times between the Great East Gate and the Great South Gate. The God told me that when I do this, we could utilize a spiritual energy line called the Path of the Dragon, to move the spiritual energy that runs from Mt.Hakuto towards Hong Kong. By doing this, the God said he would be able to condense the spiritual power of the third pillar and send it to me. He also told me that because I am coming from Japan, the spiritual line will open between Korea and Japan and that will enable me to pull the energy of the pillar back to Japan.

In the super ancient time, the land of Japan was created from the birth of Mt.Haku that is now in Ishikawa-prefecture. From there, all the continents on our planet started to arise. Human kind appeared from the area between Mt. Haku and Lake Biwa, Shiga-prefecture. From there, the creation of the mountains continued which led to arise the Eurasian. The Eurasian Continent was connected to the Continent of Mt.Haku that was, at that time, positioned at a 90 degree angle to the current main island of Japan. Some of the original human beings immigrated around the Black Sea and eventually expanded to the African Continent. This information was given to me through a Divine Revelation. The modern science has only been able to verify the root of human kind to originate in Africa.

Long time passes after this, around 20,000 years ago, due to the lowering of the sea level, there was a time when the land of Japan and the Euraisan Continent was connected. At that time, one of the Three Stone Pillars that was placed at the sacred ground of Mt. Haku was taken away to Mt. Hakuto that is now in the territory of North Korea.

After this incident, the balance was unbalanced and the wrong human kinds started to appear on this planet. The root of the Ubusuna-kami (the Birth Place God) needed three pillars in order to gather good genes to create complete humans. With only two pillars, the genes were in imperfection. By this incident, the spirit of being in oneness was concealed, and the humans with the genes with imperfection started to fight against each other creating wars.

When the God spoke to me last May about going to Korea, I discussed it with my family. They said they wouldn’t mind going with me. But as a Japanese salary-man, I was only able to take a long vacation around the New Years. However, at that time, the value of Japanese Yen was not good and the gas price was so high, the airlines were adding a surcharge. It was going to be very expensive for the whole family to fly and spend few days in Korea. I told the God that I would like to cancel his plan. He was in silence. But later in the year, Yen went up, and the surcharge was deducted due to the downfall of gas price. On top of that, when I called up a travel agency, they told me that they just had some cancellation and that they have seats for my family. The situation turned around and we were able to go to Seoul. I had been there once 15 years ago. I was concerned about the language problem, but surprisingly many of store clerks spoke very good Japanese. I thought I was in some town like Osaka. It was much alike. Continue…

*Year Heisei (平成)20: A year of Futo (20) – a number that is linked to Sun Goddess Amaterasu-Ohomikami

Towards a Grand Leap

- from Dec.30th article -

Year 2008 seems like it went in a flash. I managed to work during the day, come home, write my daily blog and respond to hundreds of comments. In between, I had some editing to do on the book edition. Having been able to work twenty hours daily on all these things without getting sick, I am truly grateful for all the beings who supported me.

The daily messages would come to me while I am washing my face in the morning, or while I am driving the car to work. It comes in between the moments when I am stressed with job details and cautiously driving. I find it interesting as a brain science, how this works; the spiritual insight pouring into my brain while I am focusing on something very practical. Right after I return home, I write in at once. When I start to write, my mind is half gone into the divine realm and the content and expression may very well be an unexpected one. Then my wife and children looks at my serious face and tries to tease me. (laugh) In spite of this sabotage, I commit myself to finish the writing. I write exactly as the spirits tell me. Nothing more nothing less. Whether you like the idea or not is all up to you. It is your choice to decide to read it or not.

Early this year, around spring, I was told by the divine spirit to go a place on New Year’s Eve. It is very unusual for me to receive such revelation. I personally disrespect a Kamiwaza (an act on god's will) that demands one to go to a certain place at a certain time. On top of that I simply love sitting in the kotatsu (a table with heat source) watching TV on New Year’s Eve. I would hate to miss that. But the spirit does not seem to give up. Finally he checkmated me and it seems like I have no choice. If I successfully complete this mission, the lost third stone pillar of Mt.Haku will return to this land of Japan in a spiritual sense. Then the grand wheel will start turning from next year. Kamiwaza may sound like a big deal, but actually I just need to go and do something along with my family. Oh well… lets see how it goes.

- from Dec 31st -

Wishing you a happy new year.
Thank you so much for all your support in 2008.
Through the blog site, I have met so many people in such a short period of time. This is a very rare situation and I will truly treasure this experience.

If I come home safely after my mission, I will start writing again from the 3rd of January.

If I don’t… then farewell. Sayoonara ~

Stones on a shrine site

Some people take stones from the site when visiting a shrine. Even the shrine permits to do so, why would they take it,? Do these people think that they could take home some good luck?

If a god spirit had been watching you take a stone, he/she will be sadden by your poor heart. You might accidently take a small stone stuck on your shoes. There is no problem if you didn’t do it consciously. It is wrong to consciously take the stone thinking that this might bring you good luck. If the stone has good energy, all the more, you should realize that the stone needs to stay in the sacred ground.

On the other hand, there are people who would take garbage home found on a sacred site. They want to keep the shrine clean and sacred because they care and have respect for the god spirits. They are acting on giving a gift of good environment for the god spirits, and taking away negative energy by picking up the garbage.

Picking a stone from a sacred ground that turns into something ugly and picking garbage from the sacred ground turning into a treasure like stories are told in fairy tales all over the world. Spiritually, this is true. Then, there are fairy tales about those who hear about it and intentionally go to collect garbage visiting many shrines knowing it will turn into treasures.

Looking from a kenzoku point of view, this is a very dangerous act. If you are an innocent child, you will immediately get sick with high fever and you will know that you had done something wrong. But if you are an adult who has been pilling up many wishful thoughts, your senses have become dull and you may not be able to see the truth right away. Later, bad things start to happen. It is best to return the stone where it belongs. If the place is too far away and you are not able to return it to the original location, take it to a sacred site, a shrine site or put it in a river.

In Shinto teachings, we say god resides in every natural element. When I visit the Izawa-no-miya of Ise Jingu, although the sacred path to the shrine is actually very short, it feels like hundreds of meters long. What I am trying to say is that the stone may look very small in this World of Reality, but it could be a very large rock in the World of the Gods’ dimension. You should not underestimate the power of a small stone.

The Four Gods of Purification

- Following on the article of Dec. 20th about Haraedo Yonshin-

Ōharae-Norito, The Grand Purification Chant is the core essence of Shinto. The climax of this chant is where it explains the Haraedo-Yonshin purifying all sins (tsumi) and impurities (kegare). God Seoritsu-hime washes away all curses, sins, and impurities from the river to the ocean. God Hayaakitsu-hime awaits under the deep ocean to swallow all those curses, sins and impurities. God Ibukido-nushi make sure all the curses, sins and impurities are swallowed. And then he would shoot his breath toward the subterranean world, Ne-no-kuni Soko-no-kuni. At the end, Hayasasura-hime disperses the curses, sins and impurities that were brought into the subterranean world.

Seoritsu-hime is at the shore of the river that runs very fast. It is quite a task to pick up all the sins and impurities from this fast running river and bring them to the ocean. Out of the four secret steps of the Grand Purification process, I find the first step to be most important. At this process, the sins and impurities from the reality world are conversed to a spiritual energy. Without this process, the later three gods would not be able to do anything. Seoritsu-hime is a goddess with a special ability to convert a material from the World of Reality to the World of the Gods.

When I did a reading on these Four Gods, at the end Susanoo appeared. The Four Gods of Purification are the derivatives of Susanoo. Oppose to the soul of a healing mother, Goddess Amaterasu-Ohomikami (yan side of the sun), God Susanoo (yin side of the sun) has a significant job of purification who slaves behind the scenes.

Winter solstice - An End and a Beginning

December 21-22nd is the winter solstice. The shortest day and the longest night of a year. In the super ancient times, when people worshipped the sun, the day of winter solstice was a very important day.

Spiritually the 22nd will be the Eve and the 23rd is the New Year. After birth, humans keep growing until they reach a turning point. After the turning point, they start to decline and eventually die. It is the same for the sun. After one year, sun dies on this day. And on the 23rd , it is reborn like a new born baby.

The 23rd of December is the birthday of our present Emperor. He was born on a very significant day. He was born on the same day as the sun’s rebirth. During his youth as a prince, his face did not yet show any sign of kami-gakari(divine possession). But now he has grown into a true okina, a face of divine grace. This is a face with a god spirit in possession.

As long as Emperor of Heisei is in our presence, he will continue to engage on his daily Shinto rituals that will bring the power of the Sun God to our country. The Sun God will protect us with all its utmost power. This shall result in contributing to the rest of the world in some way. And we must strongly choose to act on it for the world to survive.

If sickness or bad things happened to you, the winter solstice could bring a change into your life. When the Yin energy is taken to its max, it can only turn into a Yan energy.

This is a big chance for you to change your life. After the 23rd, there is a big possibility for you to make a big shift. Use the big shift of the energy of the sun. As it dies and rebirth, there will be an enormous shift of the spiritual energy that could help you make a shift in your own internal universe. Commit yourself to say goodbye to your past (negative emotional baggage). For example, if you have been trying to quit smoking and failing for a long time, this is a good time to try it again. It should come easy for you by using the sun’s shifting power.

To utilize the law of the cycle of the sun for regeneration and commitment is one of the esoterics from ancient Shinto teachings.

The Matrix to be in Oneness

Around Meiji era (1868-1912), the form of 二礼二拍手一礼 “two bows, two claps, and one bow” started to become the official form of worship when visiting a shrine. It became the official form through out the Chain of Islands of Japan.

When you come to the front of a shrine, you first bow twice then clap your hands twice, and bow again at the end. As for the priests, the numbers of clapping hands may differ due to the tradition of the area. For example, the Izumo chain shrines where God Kunitsu-kami (国津神) is worshipped, the formal way is to clap four times. The formal way in Ise Jingu or The Grand Shrine of Ise is to clap four times x 2, which makes it eight times. It is called yahirade(八開手).

I am sure that Izumo Shrine has their own story of how it became four claps, but in my vision I see that it is worshipping the Four Gods of Purification, Haraedo-Yonshin (祓戸四神) lead by Susanoo. As for the eight claps of the Ise method, if you count four claps as one, it becomes two that is the original idea of the official form of today. In Shinto, the number eight has always been a sign of good omen since the ancient times.

People express their joy and excitement by clapping hands. It is an act of instinct seen all over the world. Babies clap their hands when they are having fun. It was the same in the ancient times. The ancient people clapped their hands to express their gratitude and sense of awe by the presence of god. They were actually able to see the gods. At an Iwakura (磐座)) - a landing place for the gods in energy form, the ancient people witnessed the energy form twisting and swirling up like it was dancing. The people naturally start clapping as they watched this magnificent thing happen. It seems that how many times you clap wasn’t really so important.

In my personal opinion, the reason why the offical form of worship settled to “two bows, two claps, and one bow” after much meandering, is because the “two bows” represents Izanagi and Izanami who are a husband and wife couple gods, and the official two gods who are the originator of the later gods. The “two claps” signifies to show respect to the two gods. The last “one bow” signifies that your innate god is one with the originator. It is a matrix to be in oneness.

Mu - from Easter Island to the Islands of Japan

The other day, I was watching a TV show about the World Heritage, Easter Island. There was a short scene introducing a site where the island people used to worship their ancestral spirits. The second I saw that site, it linked to a place in Japan where a particular god resides. A spectacular scene came into my brain. The place on the Easter Island where they used to worship the ancestral spirits is a ground full of spherical stones. Half of the spheres are buried in the ground and the other halfs are showing on the surface. There is a place in Japan where you can see something very similar. It is Tamaki Shrine in Totsukawa-mura, Nara Prefecture.

Over twenty years ago when I visited this shrine, I was amazed how many tengus (mountain goblins) lived in this shrine as kenzokus (retainers of a god). They are half-materialized creatures and they were jumping around the forest. You probably won't find any place like this in the world with so many forest fairies. If you are still a young child, you might mistakenly see them as human beings. As I was walking on the long pathway to the shrine, the tengus would hop around me, staring at me and checking me out. Some of them looked like warriors from the movie “Predator”.

However, over the past two decades, many high voltage electric iron poles had been facilitated. And the environment has been destroyed for the tengus to survive. It is now even a dangerous place for the commoners to pay a visit. If you do anything disrespectful, you could get into trouble. The place should be kept untouched and sacred.

Tamaki Shrine has the same spherical stones buried in the ground and has been worshipped as ancestral spirits. Deep inside the forest in the sacred ground of this Shrine, there lays a stone figure of a god just like the Moai statues of Easter Island.

Long time ago, I visited Mt. Oomine in Nara. There I sensed the Kongo-Zao-Kongen (http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/zao-gongen.html) which looked exactly like the Maois in my vision. It was shinning bright in a golden color.

At the end of the super ancient civilization of Mu (Lumeria), people traveled to escape from the continent and their beliefs went along with them. All the way from Easter Island to Kumano or Nara of Japan, this long zone line inherited the spirituality that was understood in the time of Mu. It is still alive.

December 8th, Buddha's Day of Enlightenment

December 8th was a memorial day of the enlightenment for Buddha. In Japan, we call the ceremony Jōdōe (成道会) and the service is held all over our chain of islands.

When we hear that someone has “awakened”, we might think, “did his mind all of the sudden change on that day?” or “was it the day when he suddenly start to see things that commoners cannot see?” In my opinion that is not the case.

I sense that this is the day when Shaka had come to one decision. The decision was about “trusting oneself, not to depend on others and simply act from one’s own good will.” Like a jackal, he only looked straight ahead, kept going only by following his own heart and trusting himself.

How do you measure a good will or a good heart? “Would this be good for this person?” or ”Would this be bad for this person?” These questions are always in our mind. Those consciousnesses “thoughtfulness” are built in our heart from the day we were born. Even the most brutal criminals have the same good heart as much as we do. But they simply do not choose to use it.

“Thoughtfulness” is something we were all given by the Root God.

For Shaka, the idea of thoughtfulness was or still is to teach a way to take away the pain from people’s heart. That was his idea of compassion. To express his compassion to others, he gave up everything of his possession and dedicated his soul to the people. Shaka said that people are in pain because of the attachment. If you are attached to someone you love, you will suffer when he or she leaves. If you are attached to your assets, you will be afraid to loose it. If you are attached to a status or outlook, you will suffer when you loose it.

So how can one not be attached to any of these? Simply enjoy while you have them, be grateful about it and always keep your heart to give more to others.

When you live by simply depending on your own good will and not on others, you will start to see the hidden side of things. You will start to sense the true nature of things, the righteous spiritual world. You will start to awaken a new part of yourself that has a whole new perspective. “A good will” was created by the root source of the universe, so this all makes sense when you think about it.

Humans are weak and even he/she want to follow his/her good consciousness he/she might not be able to act on it. Even if you fail to do it once, you should try again the next time. If you continue to keep trying, one day it will become a strong and straight “right path” walking like a jackal.

Keep your Heart strong by sending Gratitude

I was watching TV the other day. They were showing an documentary about how the males in their 30s who are supposed to have more job than others are actually have serious decrease in job opportunities. In the suburban areas, it’s even difficult to find part time jobs. During the 60s through the 80s, we had never heard of such problem. It could be the very first time Japan is experiencing such problem. After WWII, everyone was suffering, but economy grew every year and it got better and better. Around that time, a ten year term deposit used to turn double of the original savings just within the interest rates.

The people who built the basis of Japanese economy are our father’s and grandfather’s generation. They only have experiences in growing economy. At this point, this means all the head of the industries and politics are in control by these people who have no experience in a serious depression like we are experiencing today. This past ten years the Japanese economy has been maintaining the status quo. But in truth, it is a minus growth. That is scary. It means that we will keep loosing our savings. You have to be prepared that your income is going to become smaller and smaller. It is a very difficult time for all of us.

 The man who was interviewed in this show was in his mid 30s. He graduated a well known private university. He became a full time employee but he had some trouble with his colleague and leaves the company in few months. Since then, he starts to work as a part time employee in the suburban area, moving from one job to another. He was a methodical person, calculating his expenditures in detail, cooking for himself considering his health. He looks like a punctilious talented young man. It is a pity. I think he could have had much better occupation. But the problem started at his first job when he got into trouble with his colleague. He lost his confidence back then and became passive in everything.


Little things could really change ones life in this world of reality. You have to be very strong and believe in yourself even though you are not sure of the consequences. Taking the world of show business for example, I heard that the older members harass many of the new stars. Only those who has overcome the numerous harassment survives. In our ordinary lives, we experience similar situations. Even though you made mistakes or bullied, you must keep your fire going in your heart. The light in your heart is the only true light that will lead you through your path.

If you loose confidence, you are only weakening your light, your passion towards life. In a human’s heart, there actually exists a sacred spiritual fire, a spark. When that spark is lost that person will become dysfunctional or dead. You could say that this little spark is the light of your innate god. If you cannot believe in yourself, you will not be able to believe in others much less believe in your own innate god. This is unfortunate.

So how could we bring back our sparks? You could go to a self-help seminar. But that will only help you temporarily. Religion is the same. The only way is to do it with a practical and spiritual method. Send gratitude to your ancestral spirits with the three incense method and also send gratitude to the gods.

This will bring back your light and you will feel brighter. Somehow you will start to feel confident about yourself. You will become more tolerant. When you have ancestors who are lost spirits, they become a grey cloud above you that might make your spark difficult to shine. If their condition is severe, you could become severely depressed. You must send gratitude towards them so you are not covered with grey clouds.

Otakara-san (my treasure)

When I visit one of my client, I often see a boy with PDD walking around the grounds of the company. He is always holding a can of coffee in his hand with a smile on his face. He is just wondering around, talking to himself in a loud voice. It sounds like he cannot pronounce properly.

One day I had to stop by the president’s home of this company not so far from the office. As I rang the bell at the door, the door opened immediately. For a second, I thought the door was automatic. But it the boy who came running out screaming. Soon after, the president came out and said “Oh our otakara-san (our treasure boy) is going out” with a laugh.

After finishing my work, I got in the car and thought about the president. How wonderful he is to call his own child“otakara-san.” He was not ashamed of him at all and boldly accepts who he is and let him freely run around the grounds of his company.
I know a lot of family who have disabled children and many of them do not want to take care of them. They put them in a home. It might depend on how severe the condition is, but I thought this man was a parent with a very good heart.

One time, I saw the boy walking a little far away from the company’s site. When I looked him closely he was smoking a cigarette. He was clicking the lighter in his hand walking very fast. like a racewalking twisting his waste. I knew he was over the legal age, but I thought this was something his father didn’t know. I wondered whether I should stop and talk to him. But I was late for my appointment so decided to pass through. Later in the afternoon, I went to the office because I was worried about the boy. There I found the president and his son at the parking lot. The man had tears in his eyes. I just caught to see him slap his son. When I got off the car, the man noticed me and looked toward me. In that moment, the boy ran away screaming and shouting. The man told me that he caught his son smoking a cigarette and that's why he scolded him with a slap on his face. He really had to make sure that playing with fire is very dangerous and that might hurt other people. I could only agree with him. The man had red eyes. I saw his love for his son.

This company is doing well in spite of the economy down turn. The president told me that they don’t have to advertise. They keep getting orders without making any effort. I think it has to do with the man’s character and the otakara-san, his son. When otakara-san walks around the company, he is purifying the energy of the place.

There is always a balance in this world. Where the balance takes place is very complicated and we are not capable of understanding. It is an artwork of the gods. It is perfect in every way.
