Since we first encountered the Divine Spark IN on our own time, we have continued to perform it daily as time permits. In this issue, we would like to think about what we should be through the word "Reawakening the Divine," which is part of the Japanese name of this IN (Shinsei Hukkatsu no IN / Reawakening the Divine IN). When we chew on the word "Divine Reawakened," we can read the meaning of "revive the Divinity," "resurrection the Divinity," or "return to the Divinity and take an active part.
We usually use "Shinsei Hukkatsu, Dai-jouju. (The divine reawakened. It was perfect fulfillment.)" without thinking. But for nature and all living things to be in great harmony, humans must get along and work together to build a society in great harmony. We can all agree on this. However, there is a prerequisite that we must remember. It is to bring the world of our mind into great harmony.
To put it more clearly in religious terms, it is to "become one with God and self," to "attain enlightenment," and to "become one who lives as a saint. For those of us in the past, sainthood was a distant, distant existence. However, those of us living in the 2020s have come to "become aware of ourselves as divine beings" through daily practice that makes us aware of our Divinity as a matter of course.
On the day of this session, it would be helpful if you could participate by demonstrating the Divinity that is inherent in you from the beginning. Also, if you are unsure of your divine reawakened, don't worry because there are many saints and divinities among the participants of Our Zoom Prayer Meeting. By forming IN and praying together with them, there is a circulation of conscious energy. As we repeat this process, the consciousness of seeing the sacred in everything becomes a natural awareness for all of us.
[A Day to be Aware of Interconnectedness in the Divine Spark" is a time for all to share in the reawakened awareness of Divinity, with everyone helping each other in this way. On this day, as always, let us watch images of the earth and the natural world and deepen our awareness as members of the gods who protect the earth.
