Enjoy even the hardships

      Many things happen in our lives to learn about ourselves, who we really are. One of the most important purposes of our lives is to learn about your true identity (innate god).  If you are facing a problem now, think that you are testing yourself unconsciously how strong you are on the maternal side (innate god). If you are bullied, think what you are supposed to be learning from this experience. What is life about? You are challenging your innate god. You need to protect your heart (innate god). And in order to do so, you need to become strong.  You cannot stay passive. You have to become strong as a demonic god to protect your heart from getting hurt. 







     People say that the awakening is about recognizing the nothingness or the oneness.  But do these ideas help in raising a child? The important thing is to have compassion and kindness. This is the heart of god, the heart of Buddha. In real, we are here on a stage called Earth through the kindness of the greater existence. If it is true that nothing really exists, the phenomenon of birth will not occur. The fact that you exist today is the evidence of the love and mercy from the greater existence. If you’re practicing some religion or religious training that forces you to loose compassion or merciful heart, I suggest you stop it now. Through experiencing hardship in the daily life in actual society, compassionate heart grows naturally. This is the right way. A true spiritual training should be done in our normal daily lives interacting with the society.

      The human soul chooses to return to do this inconvenient world, because he wants to experience challenging and unexpected situations. When you are not in this plane, in other words when you don’t have a physical body (=time) , the world appears exactly and directly from your consciousness. After this physical life, if you didn’t commit suicide, you are able to stay in the world you desire. If you want money, you will be soaked in a golden ocean. If you want to have a lot of sex you can with thousands. If you want to bully someone, you will have thousands to bully and torture. Looking from other souls, this world is called hell.   

     If everything goes as you wish in this world as well, it might be fun for a while but you will eventually get bored. You would wish for more stimulation. It’s like a drug and your ego becomes larger and larger. At the end, you will be destroyed by your own ego. So try to enjoy every experience. When you couldn’t really enjoy it, simply observe it in a calm manner because in this physical world, time is limited and all experiences are precious. You could try to avoid those experiences that hurt your heart (innate god) in order to protect it. The physical body is a rental car. A temporal vehicle borrowed from your ancestors and your innate god.

Focusing on one thing is the key to awakening

*Apology for the delay in updating. I had a problem with internet access for 2.5 days.

      There are numerous ways to heighten your spirituality in your daily life. A housewife can find her way in the housework. NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training ) people can find his way while struggling with anxiety as long as he doesn't give up. Later in your life, you will understand that period was your training period of life. 

     There is a legendry Japanese manga called “Tensai Bakabon.” One of the character in this cartoon is the “le le le no ojisan” (an older man who sweeps the street saying le le le no le~ and that's all he does).  

     This uncle lelele-no-le is said to have been characterized from one of the monk name Cuuda-pantaka in the Buddhist scripts. 

     Cuuda-pantaka was a very clear-headed trainee monk in his past life. He vilified a female trainee who wasn't good at memorizing the chants. When he had reborn, from the reflection of this past life, he became a man who couldn’t even remember his own name. (In the place he was buried after his death, a ginger had grown. It was rumored that when you eat this ginger, you become stupid. The origin of this rumor probably came from the nature of Cuuda-pantaka). Being a trainee monk in his past life, he became a follower of Buddha in the next life once again. However, because he couldn't do anything, the other followers tried to expel him from the group.
     Buddha heard about this and called Cuuda-pantaka. He gave him a broom and told him to simply sweep all day. Since then, Cuuda-pantaka simply kept sweeping for years after years.  One day a thought came into his mind. “The filth in the human heart is hard to clean. But if you keep cleaning, it can change and purified. Without a doubt humans' heart can be changed.”
      When he reached to this recognition, his filth he had carried from his past life about vilifying the female trainee had vanished in a second and his intelligence revived 
(the above story is through my psychic reading).

       When you focus on one thing and simply devote, serendipity may occur. “Awakening” occurs in the same manner. As long as your goal is to be awakened, you are distancing yourself from it. Awakening should not be the purpose. Same thing can be said about happiness. If you could simply be grateful in what you have today, you will realize you are already happy.  You have a spiritual connection, perhaps a fate, in where you are and what you are doing now. Simply devoting on the work in front of you is the key to recognize happiness in one’s life. Don't think too much and just devote. Happiness and good fate will "come" to you (rather than trying/going towards it).

Awakened

continued from article date 2010-11-30

     Sometimes, the honeybees become the mediator in order for the fruits to grow or the flowers to blossom. The world of nature is in an interdependent (a mutually advantageous) relationship. Even in the human society, we are interdependent. The society is comprised with the weak ones and the strong ones. When the guy who all thought was a burden to the company had left, the business started to go down hill. Or the old grandpa who was troubling the family had died, and all the sudden the children seem to act differently towards their parents. Sometimes, the unexpected could be the key in holding things together. And most of the time, people don't realize it until they had lost it.  




     There are numerous cases of interdependence in our society

 that we are not aware of.  When we are not aware of it, we might loose it without knowing what it was. This is scary. That's why it’s good to always have in mind, that we are led to live even though we don’t know what is leading us to live.  In Japanese, there is a word we often use, “okage-sama-de (お陰さまで)” (which is close to the meaning “Thanks to you… ”  but it's doesn’t necessary mean “you” in particular. It’s more like "thanks to everyone/all the help including the unknown."  Okage literally means shadow).  

    

     The divine spirit tells me the extinction of the honeybees could lead to food crisis, and that the humans are aware only a very few percent of the interdependence of the nature’s world. This is a fearful fact. The human race is running a race with blindfolds. When 5% of the humans come to a realization, like the Othello game, all of the sudden the world will turn around.



    The awakened 5% will be the ones who understand that we are led to live by the unknown, the numerous interdependence. Those are the ones who understand, okagesama-de, we live today.

Serendipity 2

(continued from article dated Nov.22,2010 )

     ‘Serendipity’ means, when you are trying to look for something eagerly, by chance, you discover or realize something totally different but valuable.   

      Through work, family issues, relationships, trials of life, we discover what is most important for us. This I think is also serendipity. The most important thing in life is ultimately love, kindness, caring heart, and being thankful. Until you realize the importance of these states of mind, you will come across many obstacles of doubts. As long as you live, problems will continue to occur and you will have to face them. But after you have realized the importance of these states of mind, the amount of pain or suffering will be lessen. This will determine the degree of happiness in one’s life. And even after death.


　　I was eagerly doing a research on the electro-magnetic solar waves and accidently discovered the correlation between the sun activity and earthquake. I think this could also be called serendipity.

　  Talking about the sun activity, yesterday, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the geosynchronous orbit electron had turbulence. http://seesproxy.tksc.jaxa.jp/fw/dfw/SEES/Japanese/Data/docs_ja/ETS8/ETS8_DataGraph.htm

     This may cause an earthquake sometime this afternoon to tomorrow. Lets calmly wait and see. The earthquake data is reported in real time on this site (http://typhoon.yahoo.co.jp/weather/jp/earthquake/). The US Earthquake Forecast Center (http://www.quakeprediction.com/Earthquake%20Forecast%20Japan.html) is predicting high risks from 31^st to the Jan.1^st in Tokyo.

But I believe that when people become more aware and be cautious, we can avoid the disaster.


       We must not forget that this life time is the first life with these certain terms (sex, family line, health condition ….)

.  It is one and only life you will experience and it should be treasured. Once you have come into this life, your past life has become the past. Your past life has been completed and ended. You now have to focus on this new given limited life
. And you can walk it through freely in the way you want. There is no need to chain yourself to the past. Self-pity, selfishness, vanity … there are all egos that are imprisoning 
yourself. Only when you start to become aware of your divinity (innate god), you will be saved. It was there
from the beginning. You simply have to come to realize it.

Thank you for this year. Thank you all for your support through out the year. I live together with you all.

Send gratitude to your innate god on this special day

     Whether you are aware or not, we are constantly facing our true identity (innate god). This is the deep truth when you look at life in a spiritual way. You cannot recognize this truth when your mind is clouded. Everyone around you, including your family is like a mirror showing the truth of the in-motion part of who you are. The shrine, the altar, the yorishiro and everything around you are the reflection of the motionless part of who you are.  Ultimately, this world is all designed for you to find the truth (innate god) of yourself. As you grow old and the ego grows as well, you start to distance yourself from the truth (innate god). And you start to compare yourself with others and worry what others might be thinking. When you do this, you are distancing yourself from your innate god (the maternal spirit) which will create feelings such as dissatisfaction, anxiety and/or sense of starvation in your daily life.  No matter how many material things you possess, you are still not fulfilled. For those who are in this state of mind, stop comparing with others and simply find the gratefulness in your present situation.  There are unfortunate people who had died wishing they had lived longer. Yet you are here and alive. Recognize that you are already blessed for just being alive.

    




     When you leave this plane, your ego full of desires
 and the eternal innate god will be separated. Only in this material/physical dimension, you are one with god. So always try to be conscious about your innate god and do your best. Challenge your life in anyway possible. It is only in one limited period in the cycle. So do as much as you can. There are no mistakes and no success. The time will always move on. The experience remains. The experience is always remembered. And when you look back, no matter how tough and painful it was, the memories followed by your good will is treasured and becomes the shinning light. No matter how successful it looks, the memories against your good will always stay ugly and leave scars on your soul.

     So don’t worry if life is tough for you now. If you could see your good will (innate god) and be grateful for being alive, you will later treasure all your experiences. These beautiful memories are most valued in the other world.

Water is our treasure

      I was on a business trip riding the train to the next destination. As I was watching the mountains passing by, suddenly the word mizu-gami (water deity) came into my mind.

      From now on, water=money seems to be the equation. We use water for everything, even when flushing the toilet. It’s a matter of course but it shouldn’t be taken for granted. You must acknowledge the value of it, how grateful we are having water in the way we use it daily in such a great amount.

     Simply be grateful to the water whenever you use it. Just this simple act would make a difference. If you take it for granted, your luck for money will decline sorrowfully.  And if you are already suffering from having not enough money, try being grateful every time you drink a glass of water or use water in anyway. The water you touch is spiritually a gold. I am not exaggerating. It is a treasure.

     In Japan, the biggest natural resource is the natural mineral water. Spiritually speaking, Japan is a place full of gold. When I think about the water deity, unexpectedly, the Taka-no-miya of Ise Jingu came into my mind. The mizu-gami lives right beneath this shrine. It is a small hidden shrine but it actually represents the water of Japan.

     According to the revelation I received, the underground water is disappearing all around the world and many cavity is created which will eventually lead to a collapsing of the ground. Even without the collapsing, it will create dry soil and barren land.




    Be grateful to the water every time you use it. As long as your country has many people who send gratitude to the water, the water in your country will be safe.

      



    Just remember to be thankful for the wealth of water. Spiritually speaking, there is a big difference whether you are consciously aware of the value or not. Looking from the material world point of view, water is just water and it doesn’t matter how you use it. But from the invisible world, there is a big difference. It can be said in everything for that matter. Even when you consume something, whether it is an animal or a plant, you are taking their life. You must be thankful for them. In the future, there will be a time, when you take these things for granted it will turn into poison. No matter how rich you are you cannot buy the life force. No matter how poor you are if you could have the sense of gratitude in everything, you can be hopeful. The Good Will shall be the judge in the coming era.

We live together with the Ne-no-kuni

     

      Why do humans worry about what’s ahead on the road? Do they feel safe if they knew that the future is fixed? Do they think that they don’t need to struggle so hard if they knew what the future provides? Unfortunately, the future is a blank sheet of paper. There is only the trend and a course of action. Depending on how you decide and act, future is constantly changing.

      If a single woman is involved in an affair with a married man, it’s natural for her to miss the timing for a marriage. It’s not a destiny. It had to do with her own will and desire. If she hadn’t chosen to be involved with a married man, her future would have been different. Every action you take in the now moment is accumulated to build up the future. It all depends on what you decide NOW. And the future will start to change accordingly.


      A Japanese lottery called Lotto 6 started several years back. I experimented to see how my psychic vision could read the numbers. I didn’t actually pay for it, but just wrote the numbers that came into my mind. I did it for a while to see the trend. And I realized that the exact six digit numbers I wrote down had won few weeks later or sometime in the past. It proved me that the past, present and future is moving in parallel. The set of numbers are flying around from the past to the future and not always can it be set on a fixed date as one could imagine. In the world of Zen, they say that the only existing time is this moment.  


       When I look at the future of the people, I see many large wheels like you see on the Buddhist literature. Everyone has a wheel, some have larger wheels than others. The number of wheels differs too. The wheels are in gear with each other like the clock ticking and turning around to create one life. The size and speed of the wheel would change according to your will and efforts. How much you care for others. How much you care for your ancestors (DNA). These factors will also influence your wheels a great deal.  I’m trying to say that your destiny is all up to you. Your life span will change as well.  

     I strongly sense that the primary factors that determine your life are your effort and the care for your DNA (ancestors). 

     Look at one tree. The part that is visible, the part above the ground is your life. The part that is invisible, the root, is much longer than the actual tree. The root is the ancestral (DNA) part of you. The tree cannot live without the long roots. It is alive because of the roots. The root also provides the water (the essential energy that runs through the spiritual pipeline) for us to live. We are not living our lives alone. We are living together with our ancestral family.

      Our ancestors left us some traces. Some characteristics, desires.. and we inherited those qualities. There might be ancestors who had unpleasant desires. There might have been some children who died young and had the desire to live longer. Our souls are all connected to these roots and as long as you are alive, these remains of their desires influence you.


      By acting on the gratitude sending way of ancestral worship, you will start to connect to the root of the root passing your ancestral spirits. The root of the root is the sacred place where you meet your own innate god. Once you bond with your own innate god, your future will change greatly to a better one. So I suggest not to believe in fixed destiny, but to believe in ancestral worship by sending gratitude daily.

Focus on what’s in front of you

       People may be troubled by doubts. “What am I suppose to do now?” “Is this really the right thing to do?” “Am I certain about this decision? Maybe there is something else I should be doing…”  No matter how many friends you ask to seek an answer, you cannot be certain. That's because future is a blank sheet of paper. The only truth is what you are experiencing right at this moment. Fate is about the past. It’s the result of the path you took. But is the future also on the same path, one line? No, it doesn’t have to be on the same one line.   




     To explain this, a divine spirit gave me a vision of a process of twisting fibers to make one thread.  There are five thin fibers to make one thread. The five fibers are spreading out like different paths of the future. When we twist these fibers it makes one thick thread. 
The part that is already twisted and became a thread is the past. The yet spreading fibers are the future. And the point in the middle is the present. We are constantly twisting the fibers, always in the process. Which five fibers becomes the main path is up to your choice. It’s not decided for you. It's blank. There is no fixed destiny. It's all up to your will. 
(Whichever path you choose, the rest of the path will be interwoven and absorbed in one thick thread. It’s just not significant but it's there. )

    So just keep focused on the now moment. That is all you can do. There is no point in doubting and questioning. Simply do what you think is best in twisting the fiber to make the thread. There are no mistakes. The continuing now moments creates the future. It’s unnecessary to check the woven past. It will only make you tangled.



     There are no Heaven’s will. You were born as a perfect and free divine soul. All you need to do is to acknowledge this truth.  If there is a Heaven’s will, it is to simply twist the fiber, to focus on the now, and live your daily life.  The only truth is what you are living at this present moment. Even the present is something you cannot enjoy continue to twist the fiber. 
It will always change. At some point a better situation will come. If you look at others, the twisting will tangle and may take more time to fix it. So simply focus on what you are doing now. Be grateful for what you have. And create your one and only thread. This is the only way to build up a good life. Treasure what you have now in front of you.

Shiko stamping on the sacred ground

(written November 22nd)

     The Japan Meteorological Agency announced an earthquake prediction in the area offshore of Miyagi Prefecture. They say there is a 15.1% chance of M7 level earthquake occurrence between now and December 14^th. They have publicized the warning with the Earthquake Prediction Committee.  The people living in the stricken area must continue to be cautious.  The agent said, “In the past thirteen years, offshore of Miyagi has experienced four earthquakes over magnitude 7. This occurrence rate of 15% is higher than the past prediction rates. The agent has also mentioned that they have been announcing the prediction rate for three days in advance right after the March 11^th disaster. However, they stopped publicizing the report after May since the prediction was showing under 10% ”.  The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan has announced that after the Tohoku earthquake disaster, the only area that showed a rebound from the subsidence of the ground is Tokyo. Through out Miyagi to northern Ibaragi on the Pacific Ocean side, only 20% of the ground is showing a rebound. The rest still remains the same. The shoreline of Iwate is continuing the subsidence. According to a calculation of recovery, the approximate 1.1 meter of subsidence in Oshika district of Miyagi will take 990 billion years. At Soma district of Fukushima, the subsidence is approximate 31 cm. This is calculated to take about 1.7 million years. 【Asahi Newspaper 2011.11.19 morning edition】

（my comment）Yesterday, there was a magnitude 5 at northern Hiroshima. Earthquake rarely occurs in this area.  This area is one edge of the Eurasian Plate. Until now, the earthquake was occurring at the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate areas. And now the Eurasian Plate area is also starting to make a move. This is a beginning of a new level of Earth shift. 

We have to consider the crushing activity that might occur between the Eurasian Plate and the Filipino Plate. The Chain of Islands of Japan is a rare place where four huge plates come together. This only happens in Japan. This is where the Earth plays the Shiko (four legs stamping the ground in Sumo wrestling) 

    Shiko (四股) derives from an ancient Shinto ritual.


    The stamping of the feet purifies the earth ground so the shinki (神気), divine energy, is able to be erupt.  The earthenware from the Kofun Period (300~700AD) has left us some traces about the ancient Shinto believing that from the cracks of the earth the divine breath of the gods erupted. 

    From the very ancient times, cracks in a large rock or the ground were considered a sacred place. They created a shrine and sent blessings to the place. The “crack” or a split was considered a symbol of a female. It shows the idea of strong goddess worship in Japan. The Chain of Islands of Japan stands on top of four “cracks.” It is a mother earth that gives birth to many. I sense that this idea will bring great invention in the future. The shape of Japan is a large dragon. The entire area is a sacred land.  It is also similar to the curvy shape of a shimenawa (sacred straw ornament hung over the entrance of a Shinto shrine).

     All people who live on this land should be sending gratitude to this land. It's not a religious act. It’s a spiritual act to acknowledge the Earth as a living organism. And I think it’s only natural to say thank you for letting us live.


    The borders of the four plates that I see through my psychic eyes are different from the scientific one shown on the map. 

With my vision, the four borders are right beneath Japan. One of the most important crack/border is where Ise Jingu is located. The breath of the gods erupts from the earth at this point. The last empress Yamato-hime who founded Ise Jingu must have felt the divine breath on this land. 

     The Japan Meteorological Agency announcement mentioning about the prediction rate being higher than normal is a warning that we should pay attention. The Eurasian Plate has started to move. This means not only in Japan but China and Europe need to be cautious. From now on, always have the disaster awareness in your daily life. The areas that rarely have earthquakes may be stricken as well. Set the tools to hold your furniture. Consider where your bed is located and prepare for safety.

Enjoy all process of life

    If you think your life is hard that is a false thought. It’s actually a precious experience. It’s because time will pass and things will eventually change and come to an end. When you look back in the later days, you’ll know that those days were most valuable and be thankful you had the experience. You’ll see that your soul was glowing in those days.

     I came into this life with memories and consciousness from the life before birth. I also have memories from 0 yrs old. When my family talk about the old days, the details about the home we use to live in, I’m always the one who remember the most. My parents often told me that they were worried about me because I didn’t learn any Japanese until age 3. I was speaking some foreign language that they couldn’t understand. It sounded a little like Hindi, they said. I still remember those days, how irritating it was. I was trying very hard to resonate with Japanese but the words that come out from my mouth was from my past life. I was left-handed at birth, but was forced to correct using the right hand before entering elementary school. Around that time, my language from the past life started to disappear from my memory.

      From the time I was a baby, just gazing the things around me, until now with my middle age body, my heart remains the same. The core is still the same, no development and no decay.  It has some filth from the outside knowledge of today but the eyes of the heart remains unchangeable and definite.

     After the death of this lifetime, my ego is lost and my heart will still remain the same. I know it because I remember my heart still remains the same from my past lives. It is the same with you. Your memory is blocked. That's all. Once you leave this plane, you will remember.













    Your heart is a never changing place. It is a sacred invariable part of you. So try to see things from this sacred place. Try to observe the hardships in a calm peaceful manner. 
No matter how painful it feels, the core part of your heart never wounds. It’s only your ego that is hurt. So don't worry. Simply watch it passing through. In the later days, it will all become a good memory. 
There is always an end to everything.

      This dimension we live in, the time is short and there is a beginning and an end.  The life after death is sort of boring because the time stops and no diversity, nothing new happens.  All the sufferings, sorrows, excitements can only occur in this limited time frame. It’s a gift from god.  Let’s praise the experiences and devote to it! 



    The most important thing to remember is that “No matter how painful it feels, the core part of your heart never wounds. It’s only your ego that is hurt. ”

     Before you came into this world, you all decided, this time I’m going to succeed in letting go of my ego. When you are on the other side, you know you are stuck with your ego from the previous life. You realize that you have limited yourself from freedom. You are stuck in a certain dimension where all the people who had the same ego come together. Some people called that place a hell (from now on, this system too will change).

     There is no one to judge you where to go. By a gravitational pull, you naturally gather together with those who have the same type of ego residue. This is absolutely the at most fair treatment. This world of reality that we live in is the only place where all kinds of souls have a chance to gather. That's why it’s so valuable.

    There is the goodness, the positive part exists in all human beings once the ego part has been removed.  One part of you is the ego part. This part will change all the time. And humans make efforts to change it for the better. Efforts are necessary on this part. The other part of you is the true-self.  This part is perpetual and unchangeable. So in a deeper sense, you are who you are and you don’t have to try to be someone else. This part doesn’t have to be changed. Therefore the effort is unnecessary on this part. It’s important to acknowledge there is two parts in you. And  to figure out the true essence of self and the ego part. We were determined to let go of our egos this time. We told ourselves, “this time I’m really gonna make it.”  So all the hardships you are experiencing today, is for the training for you created by yourself in order to lessen the ego part of self. It’s a chance for you to grow.

     Observe the matters in a calm manner as if you are a god. And enjoy the hardships! It’s all for the better. Once you are able to enjoy everything, the fog will be cleared. And another fog might come around later in your life. But the physical body is going to disappear at some point anyways. So know that there is nothing to worry about. There will always be an end to all matters.

     Once you learn how to enjoy every moment of your life, then you have succeeded.
