Dear all Zoom Prayer Meeting attendees,
Theme: "The appearance that occurs when mistaken thoughts manifest and fade away with their destiny."
"How Man Should Reveal His Inner Self"
Man is originally a spirit from God, and not a karmic existence.
He lives under the constant guidance and protection provided by his Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits.
All of man's sufferings are caused when his wrong thoughts conceived during his past lives up to the present manifest in this world in the process of fading away.
Any affliction, once it has taken shape in this phenomenal world, is destined to vanish into nothingness. Therefore, you should be absolutely convinced that your sufferings will fade away and that from now on your life will be happier. Even in any difficulty, you should forgive yourself and forgive others; love yourself and love others. You should always perform the acts of love, sincerity and forgiveness and thank your Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits for their protection and pray for the peace of the world. This will enable you as well as mankind to realize enlightenment.
Last week, we looked back at the beginning of the book "How Man Should Reveal His Inner Self." This week, we will look back at the second part. It is the part that says
"All of man's sufferings are caused when his wrong thoughts conceived during his past lives up to the present manifest in this world in the process of fading away."
To understand this verse, you need to read it with the awareness that you have internalized the "view of humanity (and of yourself) as a manifestation of God" written in the opening verse. The reason for this is that if you continue to hold the view of humanity (and of yourself) that "humanity (or myself) is imperfect," you will not be able to gain any insight from this verse.
In this passage, the true nature of the suffering we feel in the world is pointed out straightforwardly. If we compare "sufferings" to muddy water in our hearts, we can objectively look at the meaning and reality of the written text.
If we read this verse while our consciousness is immersed in muddy water, our thoughts and the muddy water become one, so no matter how many times we read it, we will not be able to see the reality of our suffering from a distance. For this reason, it is possible that even after decades have passed, we will still be unable to stop our thoughts from forgetting our divinity.
On the other hand, if our consciousness has escaped the confines of the muddy water and is in a world of higher dimensional vibrations, our thoughts are not near the earth, where the muddy water is, but are looking down on the earth from a high position in the sky so that we can see the "reality of suffering" from above.
At first glance, this part of the explanation seems to describe a natural phenomenon, as if to say that "suffering is a phenomenon that occurs when the causes we created in the past fade away." However, when we look at the actual situation in more detail, we can see that it is a manifestation of the guidance of the Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits and a form of cleansing.
To put it more clearly, our Guardian Spirits manifest and cleanse the "states of suffering caused by wrong thoughts" within the range that a person can endure, cleansing the "wrong thoughts conceived during our past lives up to the present (karma-like thoughts)" that have accumulated in the minds of the people they are protecting.
All the suffering we experience in this world, such as problems at work, discord in human relationships, illness, being unable to keep up with the changing times, natural disasters, wars, and conflicts, etc., will cease to trouble our minds (because the causes will disappear) as we practice "How Man Should Reveal His Inner Self." In fact, many people are living in the same physical world as us but who are living in a state where their suffering has faded or where they no longer feel any suffering.
That is because, as the thoughts and habits rooted in the physical body fade away due to continuously offering the Prayer for World Peace, which is the very sound of divinity, thoughts and habits rooted in divinity become our standard equipment. In this sense, it can be said that the thoughts and habits that have forgotten divinity are the form of mistaken thoughts.
Mistaken thought patterns that have forgotten the divine are a state in which the conscious and subconscious minds are controlled by "memories of a time when we were separated from the divine." The inability to let go of these memories could be said to be the very thing that is fading away. It is also the root cause of our surrendering the authority of our own lives to others and our constant dualistic thinking.
The phrase "fading away" can be used in a broad sense, as "the way humanity never stops fighting is a sign of its fading away." It can also be used in an essential sense: "By carefully observing our consciousness, we can let go of our grasping as a sign of our fading away."
In that sense, the true meaning of "fading away" could be said to be "letting go of memories and returning to divinity."
Now, please read the second verse again, taking the time to digest it.
"All of man's sufferings are caused when his wrong thoughts conceived during his past lives up to the present manifest in this world in the process of fading away."
When we read this passage with the divine self-awareness that has emerged from the muddy waters, we can see that the fading away is not a natural phenomenon, but a state that is manifested and then erased by the guidance of the Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits. We can also see that it is a necessary path that exists to refine and raise our consciousness.
When the water becomes still, the mud settles to the bottom. If the mud has sunk to the bottom of your heart, your conscious mind will not be able to recognize it. Therefore, we cannot say that we have "graduated from the fading away" just because our minds are clear now. We need to live our lives in a way that polishes and elevates ourselves until the day we return to the divine world.
In this Saturday's program, we will read together the second section of "How Man Should Reveal His Inner Self," entitled "All of man's sufferings are caused when his wrong thoughts conceived during his past lives up to the present manifest in this world in the process of fading away."
We will distinguish between "disappearing figures in a broad sense" and "the true meaning of the disappearing figures we should be doing now," let go of memories that we have been unable to let go of, and radiate the light of the Universal God from the divine consciousness realm.
