POSITIVE THINKING
Positive Thinking
Everything comes from a thought.
How can we use this fact?
Smiling is a brilliant way to create positivity!
Try it and see
Some simple 'tools' to use are:
Each time a negative thought
enters your mind, change it IMMEDIATELY to a positive one; pivot
180 degrees and face the new ‘positive’ direction.
Example: If you're feeling angry, say
something like, “Infinite calm, infinite patience, infinite stillness, infinite
acceptance, infinite tolerance,” & let yourself FEEL this emotion.
Keep this up until the feeling subsides.
Use the phrase 'May peace prevail
on earth'. This is a high energy light vibration that helps
transmute negativity into something positive. It has an extra function of
sending out beautiful energy to all of humanity at the same time you are
working on drawing positive energy into yourself. So, you are giving a gift to
others at the same time as working on healing yourself!
This whole process is called 'fading away'. It
works on the principle that something only appears to disappear. It’s quite a
nifty idea really. Nothing is classed as negative or positive, only an
experience that is appearing, to be let go. Just let it ‘fade away’, using the
wonderful 'tool' of thinking 'infinite' words. Create a new habit! Train
yourself to think differently and you'll be amazed at how powerful you are. Go
on, do it! Give it a go.
Recognise the power of self; the
self that is loving, peaceful, still, confident, the REAL self.
Who thinks in your mind?
An interesting question isn't it? If it's YOU, then
that means you can think whatever you choose doesn't it? Why not be pro-active
and think positively. It takes the same energy and creates a new positive YOU.
If it's you who thinks in your mind, then does that
mean you're responsible for everything that appears in your life? Another
interesting question isn't it! Could it
be that we CREATE with our thoughts? Golly gosh, that's a bit mind blowing.
Could it be?
If so, it then creates the strong possibility that YOU
influence EVERYTHING in your life.
Wow, responsibility and FREEDOM.
Freedom you ask? Well, if you create everything and
you accept responsibility for everything you create, then doesn't that mean you
have complete freedom? Of course it does. It could be a bit scary at first
thought but when you let it sit for a while it becomes awesomely fabulous. Is
awesomely a word? It doesn't matter really as I've created it and I'm FREE.
Okay, let's go a step further. If everything you
experience is created by you, then YOU CAN CHANGE IT. Of course you can. But
remember, you can only change YOU. You may never impinge your will on anyone
else. It's not your life. Let them do their own creating.
Besides, you've got enough to do creating your own stuff.
Doesn't do to take on too much!
Back to the nitty gritty. There's a few choice phrases
that seem to assist this 'fading away' process. Give it a go and see what
happens. There’s NOTHING to lose really. You're stuck where you are, so a
little shift of scenery will be fun. Well, maybe not always fun, but certainly
will give your life a bit of a shake-up, and bless you, it's probably what's
needed.
Okay, accepting the premise that we create everything
that comes into our sphere of experience and that we can change it to whatever
we wish, let's give the next scenario a whirl. Trust that if you created it,
you can correct/erase it.
As soon as anything negative
greets us in our emotional, physical, mental being begin to say; “I heal the
part of me that created this situation.”
“I love you, I thank you, I'm
sorry (for my part in creating this situation), Please forgive me (for creating
this situation), May peace prevail on earth”.
These phrases are directed to our higher power,
divinity, the angels, God/dess, etc. We're not
trying to intellectualise the situation at all, we're working purely on
transmuting the energy into a positive. You don't have to think about anything,
just use the words to SELF. YOU are part of all that is,
so when you 'heal' yourself, you also affect everything within your experience.
Golly gumdrops, that's a big one isn't it?
Don't even think about it, just do it.
We can use this method anytime. It is based on LOVE.
LOVE of self, therefore, all that is most powerful, healing and joining of all.
We can even use this BEFORE going into a situation.
It's amazing how it strengthens your sense of being in the moment and
connecting with all that is positive, and so it is.
What we are saying is that 'I heal the part of ME that
created this situation'. There's no judgement at all, only an acknowledgement
of our power.
Leave the intellect at home; just DO IT.
Consider for a moment; 'This world is a reflection of
what is happening INSIDE ME!'
Mighty thought provoking isn't it? They didn't teach
me that when I was at school. Really requires a different mindset. Yehhhh, I'm
willing to give it a try!!
GO FOR ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I almost forgot; Give GRATITUDE for EVERYTHING.
This
is so important. All we experience in our lives is a GIFT. Cherish it, bless it
and embrace it. Try to ignore the impetus to judge your experiences and ACCEPT
them as they are, IN THE MOMENT.
Everything
gives us the opportunity to GROW into our true self of abundant LOVE. Give it a
go and remember, YOU are a powerful being who can do anything!
Let's make our life really count.

POWER of SPIRITUAL BREATHING
POWER of SPIRITUAL BREATHING
By Masami Saionji (2007/8)
Eliminating Fixed Ideas
At present Shinjin (aware of our divinity) and Shinjin to
be are emanating shining high frequencies that vibrate throughout the world by
practising Ware Soku Kai Nari (I am a Divine Being) – Joju – Jinrui Soku Kami
Nari (Humanity is Divine). Performing this breathing creates a continuous
synchronic magnetic field in various places of the universe. What is more,
these newly created synchronic fields are directly linked with Universal God.
Infinite light, infinite power, infinite wisdom, and infinite ability are
directly supplied by Universal God to permeate these fields.
Through the ‘spiritual breathing INs’ as well as
breathing/recitation of ‘Ware Soku Kami Nari – Joju – Jinrui Soku Kami Nari’,
each individual will synchronise with these magnetic fields. Responding to
these fields, they will start walking along the path of divine humans that will
unfold in each person’s life and bring forth dramatic changes.
First and foremost, you will recognise your own divine
nature through these methods. This awareness will naturally occur to us in
accordance with the degree to which we have awakened to truth. We will clearly
become aware that the only things that limit us are our own fixed ideas, and
that it is our own thoughts of emotions and turbulence that cause the various
difficulties in human life such as illnesses, misfortunes, etc.
The frequencies of vibrations we send forth from day to
day and from moment to moment are directly related to our daily words, thoughts
and actions. And the vibrations we constantly emit are invariably returned to
us. We must clearly realise that our thoughts are the very elements that
materialise reality out of nothing, and that if we control the waves we
radiate, we control our destinies. In order to control our destinies, it is
essential that we know the absolute truth of Ware Sku Kami Nari/Jinrui Soku
Kami Nari itself; the truth that we are directly connected as one with the
Universe. Just like a drop of rain assimilates into an ocean, we, as one ray of
light, will merge as one with the Universal God.
When this occurs, all our past, as individual beings will
completely vanish. Our nations, racial, ethnic, and religious identities, as
well as our race and nationalities will all disappear. When we liberate
ourselves from the boundary of the self, we will acquire inner light itself.
Each human being can acquire true freedom only when he or she is liberated from
the boundaries of the individual self.
Spiritual Breathing Expels Internal Toxins
When we awaken to the true spiritual breathing method, we
inhale the cosmic life energy directly, (or ki) absorbing the power of the
Universal Life force and integrating it within every cell of our body creating
physical harmony and healing.
Furthermore, breathing enables us to understand the large
amount of information and various codes that are recorded in the akashic
records, and thus accomplish our missions in this lifetime through our own
wisdom. As soon as we master the essence of breathing, we will be liberated
from our agonies, illnesses, and aging. Knowing this enables the ki (cosmion)
to maintain our life naturally, and heal diseases because we will attract
toward us the power from the universal source and freely utilise it. The ki or
cosmion is the key to activate our energy. Each cell of our body will begin to
actively work when we recognise our inner, infinite abilities because the cells
that were dormant up to this point will begin to manifest their power with
intense strength.
Everyone who practises this breathing IN will experience
a strong unification with the Universal God. As we deeply inhale this universal
life energy, it will penetrate deep within our cells. As a result, toxins,
fatigue and other chemicals accumulated within the body are discharged allowing
for fresh, new life force to be absorbed. The more each cell is freed from
toxins, the more we will absorb cosmic life energy and the more our cells will
shine brightly reducing the possibilities of contracting diseases.
These spiritual breathing INs are completely different
from ordinary deep breathing method however. Forming these special INs completely
changes the amount of life energy that we absorb because we will first make a
declaration to the universe. This declaration is an intention to the Universe
that enables us to fully absorb its infinite life energy. This is an important
point.
It is important to focus your consciousness on becoming
one with the Universal God and breathe in as much light, life force and power
into our bodies as possible. This will boost the wave energy radiated from each
of our physical cells, and their increased frequencies will elevate abilities
of our cells that have been dormant.
Through this inner power, almost all diseases will be
healed without relying on outer means. Even if the help of doctors, surgery or
drugs are necessary, the recovery rate of one who performs the breathing method
is fast and several times greater than most people. From now on, we will not
only be able to heal ourselves but also overcome various karmic situations as a
result of demonstrating our remarkable abilities.
Acknowledge Our Divinity
All humanity without a single exception has to fulfil his
or her evolution and self-creation. Evolution and self-creation are the very
missions given to each individual.
Human beings until now have created illnesses,
unhappiness, and troubles. However, that situation will be different from now on.
Upon entering the 21st century, each person will accomplish radiant
evolution and self-creation by awakening him or herself to truth. In order to
realise this, the first thing to do is for us to perfectly liberate ourselves
without adhering to old fixed ideas and old religions, for these are the only
things that bind us.
We need to recognise that what is needed most is to
acknowledge our brilliantly shining divinity and our infinite abilities.
Diseases, misfortunes, and difficulties will be cured in proportion to the
degrees that we awaken to our divinity.
I would like you to become aware even one hour sooner
that your ideas are the causes of everything. If you cannot believe in your own
divinity, if you fear diseases, and are caught up with them, your disease will
remain a reality. The same principle applies to misfortunes and difficulties as
well.
The sooner you become aware, the sooner you will be
rescued from your agonies. No one else can remove our afflictions, sorrows, and
pains. Even though we may receive guidance, consideration, assistance,
encouragement, and teachings form others, what truly rescues us in the end is
none other than our own power. Human beings have reached the point where they
should realise this fact.
The age of Ware Soku Kami Nari and Jinrui Soku Kami Nari
has arrived. Constructing God’s image within us is the mission assigned to each
one of humanity.
Breathing Is Prayer Itself
Our physical life ends when our breathing stops. However,
the essence of breathing is not simply the act of inhaling and exhaling air. It
is the bond of life that connects our physical body with the Universal God.
Breathing is the act of prayer itself. Few are aware of
this. Most people breathe and live unconsciously. All of humanity is praying
without noticing this. They continue to pray without realising it. Through this
act of prayer, they are deeply connected to heaven.
However, breathing without knowing the essence of prayer
is living a ‘half- life’…not a ‘full life’.
Breathing oblivious to prayer derails humanity from the
true path and creates a path of unhappiness. As soon as people realise
breathing is the deep prayer of life, they will be released from every hardshIp
and restriction.
Spiritual Breathing Is a ‘Religion’ for Each of Us
The breathing method will awaken us to many things.
We will give birth to everything, and receive all wisdom
through spiritual breathing.
We will be liberated from all agonies and difficulties
through spiritual breathing.
We will awaken to our intuitive power through spiritual
breathing.
All potentials will surge up through spiritual breathing
and we will be filled with power that turns the impossible into the possible.
Our mistaken ways of living and our fixed ideas will be
over turned, and will transform into the heavenly ways of living through
spiritual breathing.
Our limitless healing power will be manifested through spiritual
breathing.
We will recover peace of mind and will gain true
happiness though spiritual breathing.
We will create our own spiritual beliefs through
spiritual breathing and will no longer need to obey or be controlled or suppressed
by old religions.
Regardless of what kind of crisis or difficulty you may
be faced with, or how hopeless your life is in constant fear and worry, you
never need to feel scared as you did in the past. You have no need to escape,
avoid, or retreat. Nor do you need to depend on anything.
All you need to do is to remain still without becoming
timid, or hesitant, until you inner infinite power springs up from the depth of
your soul. No need to become impatient, fearful, hesitant, or resigned or to have
needless thoughts in your mind or combat negative ideals because your negative
thoughts will surely be cleansed away. You need only to perform the deep and
tranquil spiritual breathing IN of Ware Soku Kami Nari and nothing else. You
will begin to notice joy welling up from within you.
However, people tend to invite evil consequences with
their long habitual negative thoughts. This is the greatest blind spot we are
apt to fall into. In their excessive fear and worry over apprehensive and
ominous situations, people continue to emit strong, negative thoughts toward
their situation. Thus, they will certainly be guided to the results they have
feared.
The one who guides you to good and radiant results is
neither God, Buddha, or saints. It is no one else but YOU, who is presently
haunted by the worry and fear. Up to now people firmly believed that depending
on God will bring positive results. Upon entering the 21st century
though, many people will start seeing that this belief was mistaken.
The mission and purpose given to each individual is
evolution and self-creation using our free will to materialise our potentials.
We have no other alternative than to bear this in mind and induce good results on
our own. This occurs in the process of our daily lives and goal for
self-elevation. The method for this endeavour is the spiritual breathing – deep
breathing of life and prayer. Through this breathing we will awaken to the
ultimate truth inscribed in each of the DNA – the fact that all the life is
firmly linked with the will of God. We therefore need to draw out the
possibilities for success, cure, happiness, and survival through breathing of
life and prayer and the power of our faith and belief that directly connects us
truth the ultimate truth or heaven, before the consequences manifest.
We need to meet the ultimate truth, and manifest it in
our words and actions in every moment of our lives. Although this requires a
tremendous effort, it is an indispensable and extremely important element for
our precious lives. This effort is precious. The effort to awaken us to truth
is the key of everything in this lifetime.
Focusing our Efforts
Originally our efforts should be meant to give light to
the limitless treasure that is dormant within us. In the 20th
century, human being efforts were concentrated only on such unessential things
as studying hard, dreaming of success, gaining prosperity, and acquiring
happiness - things that are deviated from fundamental issues. People were
tremendously stressed in their efforts of gaining wealth, power prestige,
prosperity, and abilities. These efforts gradually deviated from truth and
degraded people into bribery, ego, dishonesty, etc., forcing them to accumulate
negative, sinful and meaningless efforts by defeating and deceiving others.
However, no matter what kind of wishes and desires they
may have achieved as a result of these efforts, these can never last long
because these are not in accordance with the path of truth, and eventually the
negative energy people emit will return to them. In order to create true
efforts, one needs to accumulate small, sincere and honest efforts one by one.
Sometimes, we my experience the rage of a storm, other
times we may feel insecure, and even other times we may fall into disbelief.
Overcoming these conditions, we ought to rally our spirits, and continue making
true efforts. And the best method for this is the spiritual breathing INs of
Ware soku Kami Nari and Jinrui Soku Kami Nari. Steadily performing these
methods will surely bring your life energy to permeate within.
A true spiritual breathing IN must originate from the
soul. You fully inhale the cosmic infinite life energy into the abdomen, lungs,
chest, and the back of your head, and let it permeate your physical entity.
This activates the DNA inside all your cells, and then interacts with the
energy that comprised your physical body, and enables you to exhale the newly
blended cosmic, physical and life energy.
This energy becomes powerful waves of radiant light, love
and truth and pours forth into the world, uprooting and eradicating humanity’s
rigid ideas that restrict the mind.
From time to time you will receive momentary inspirations
and you will notice that your thought patterns are drastically being revised.
You will be able to control your emotional thoughts, and will gradually begin
realising that your negative emotional thoughts go against your spiritual breathing.
As you repeatedly practise the spiritual breathing IN, all negative emotional
thoughts will naturally be purified, and disappear from your hearts.
Furthermore, your sensitivity will sharpen and you will perceive bright waves
emanating from the depths of your heart. At that moment you will awaken to the
existence of the potential that was being concealed within.
Success is yours when you reach this point. All you need
to do thereafter is to create results that are good for your life with
self-confidence, self-trust, and your firm belief in the ultimate truth.
Our Potential Is Limitless
I reiterate that the spiritual breathing is a method that
enables us to transmute ominous conditions into good and radiant destinies
before ill effects are manifested in the phenomenal world. It is a method to
create peaceful lives overflowing with happiness.
What a great power lies within each of us! Everything is
up to us. We must clearly realise that thoughts and emotions that we conceive
from moment to moment are the very causes that create our future destinies.
Therefore, it is essential that we elevate ourselves at every moment in our
life.
We need to fix clear aims of our future and walk
steadfastly toward them step by step. Our possibilities are limitless unless we
stop our progress, because our free will is what materialises our potentials.
You should never abandon or cast away these potentials. Even though you may be
haunted by the bitter experience of failures in the past, you can succeed
today!
The possibility is hidden within you! A good result that
could never become a reality before, will surely turn true today. Turn your
efforts towards your goals.

True Courage, True Belief
Learning from Goi Sensei – 1 – final
True Courage True Belief
From May Peace Prevail On Earth by Masahisa Goi
Are the actions of humanity and each individual motivated by karma or by the divine will? If we only look at the physical, visible phenomena, the actions of each individual as well as humanity appear to be motivated by various desires including the greed for power. Perhaps this is how most people regard human beings; however, Goi Sensei did not share this view.
Goi Sensei clearly saw the divine will behind each of our actions – even those that appeared to be karmic. He declares that human beings are originally spirits branched out from God, not karmic existences. He explains that we are constantly protected by our Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities, and that the rise and fall of nations as well as ethnic groups lie in the mind of God. Regardless how a nation or an ethnic group is flourishing at this time, it is doomed to collapse if it deviates from the law of total harmony, that is, the divine will. This universal law also applies to each individual.
When we derail from the universal law, our true mind intends to correct the derailment. Although this may manifest conditions that appear to be unhappy and unfortunate, it is an adjusting process implemented by our true selves and our Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities. Even though we may have to endure this hard period for some time, once we as an ethnic group, a nation or an individual get on the right track, we will continue thriving thereafter.
Therefore, however difficult or affluent the present conditions are individually, ethnically or nationally, the thing for us to do first and foremost is to continue endeavoring to get on the track of the universal law. And in order for us to get on this track, we need to accumulate virtue, and at the same time, to deepen our belief in God. Goi Sensei recommended we offer the prayer for world peace as the best means to achieve this end.
Ethnic groups, nations, and humanity are all aggregations of individuals. Therefore, when each individual believes in God, accumulates good virtues, prays the prayer for world peace, and gets on board with the universal law, then over time ethnic groups and nations will accumulate good virtues and will also be able to board the universal law.
It is toward this endeavor that we pray for peace in each country of the world and perform the Symphony of Peace Prayers Ceremony every year, which jointly offers peace prayers from various religions and sects. We believe that this prayer for peace is most fundamental. Thus, regardless wherever we may be, we offer this prayer every day.
As the text of this series, I chose Goi Sensei’s book Prayer for World Peace that was published in May, 1981. On page 104, there is a chapter titled, Let us unite our hearts to praying for world peace. Goi Sensei wrote this upon hearing news of the successful launch of America’s space craft Apollo 8, amidst a great joy around the world. I suggest that from the descriptions, we once again learn what “belief, courage, harmony and endurance” mean, as I believe that these four elements are vital to the present-day Japanese, and humanity.
On pages 105 and 109, Goi Sensei writes as follows:
While blessing the success of Apollo 8, I deeply confirmed the necessity of promoting the world peace movement through the prayer even more strongly and expansively. If people around the world emulate the will and courage of the astronauts who endured the daily severe training in order to ensure the success of the flight, then the achievement of world peace will not be a dream.
Aside from the scientific technology that guided the flight to the success, I simply cannot help admiring the undaunted will, courage, and self-restraint of the astronauts – they are similar to high Buddhist priests who achieved the very depth of their beliefs. Their strong belief in science that keeps them fearless in whatever dangerous condition they encounter closely resembles the perfect belief in the divine love cherished by people with spiritual beliefs.
When people believe in their military power and confront enemies trying to destroy them, they do so in a sort of self-intoxication or desperation. Whereas, when astronauts are in the cosmic space, they calmly continue handling everything believing solely in the furnished mechanical devices. In fact, doing so requires a far greater will power than fighting with enemies.
This is the same with the true peace movement. There are many people who say, “The enemy has increased their military power, so we too must expand our military power,” or “We should give pre-emptive strikes before the enemy attacks us,” but these old-fashioned logics are totally irrelevant. We can hardly engage in a true world peace movement with such a mentality as identifying enemies and confronting them thinking, “We must destroy that country because it is an obstacle for creating peace.”
Just as the astronauts who fly in the cosmic space use their scientific power that represents the universal law, each individual, each nation, and all humanity needs to attune their minds to the universal law in order to accomplish their lives on this earth.
A true peace movement is a movement that lives in tune with the universal law, in other words, total harmony itself.
Peace is synonymous with harmony. Therefore, when a person speaks about peace, the person himself or herself must embody a harmonious mental state. Or at least, that person must be endeavoring to maintain his or her mental harmony.
When people identify enemies that oppose them, and try to confront with them, they become frantic with passion such as, “I’m going to rip them apart!” And when they are in this kind of passion, they manifest reckless power such as bravery in warfare and violent demonstrations.
However, true courage means believing in a law just like the astronauts, and doing one’s very best to accomplish the objective by following the path that embodies the universal law.
It means to accomplish these things calmly and steadily, while continuing to restrain one’s fear and disbelief. This kind of courage is an absolute requisite to fulfill the world peace movement – an extremely important movement that aspires for the simultaneous deliverance of each individual as well as all humanity.
A mere temporal passion or a shallow and flippant idea such as, “I‘ll do it because it’s cool!” is the last thing you should have.
A true spiritual belief signifies to believe in the cosmic law of great harmony and to believe in the expansive divine love. And to achieve this mental state, an incessant endeavor to keep one’s mental harmony is indispensable. Our daily and tireless effort and discipline are the essential factors to foster such an elevated mentality and character.
We believe in Goi Sensei and form a group called Byakko Shinko Kai – a movement that aims to rescue and uplift individuals and all humanity simultaneously. Therefore, in order to achieve the objective of this movement and our activity, we are required to maintain extraordinary and continuous will power, endurance, and courage. It is our unshakable belief in God and our prayers that single-heartedly yearn for God that give birth to these resources within us.
(From Hideo Takahashi’s personal periodical Study of Goi Sensei #129)
Learning from Goi Sensei – 2 - final
True Courage True Belief
From May Peace Prevail on Earth by Masahisa Goi
In this book, Goi Sensei writes the following on his resolve upon beginning the world peace movement through the prayer:
In the pursuit of humanity’s long-cherished desire to accomplish world peace, I offered my entire life and destiny to God. It was from this point forward that my world peace prayer movement began.
I have no adversary that I need to overthrow or that threatens to overthrow me. The only thought I have is the divine mind of total harmony which continues to work within me. If you identify an enemy and insist that peace cannot be accomplished without eliminating this enemy, it is no longer a peace movement. What ought to fall, falls of itself, and there is no necessity to bother ourselves to make it happen.
The things that pass in front of our eyes, or the things that inhibit world peace are all elements that are derailed from the universal law of great harmony. They are bound to naturally vanish away someday, and we should not artificially overthrow them with the use of force. Therefore, it is only necessary for us to have the power of perseverance or true courage; until all these various elements that hamper world peace pass before our eyes and completely disappear, we ought to single-heartedly continue offering the prayer of humanitarian love – the law of great harmony itself – without resenting anyone, fearing anything, or withdrawing by an inch, regardless what kind of humiliation we may experience or what kind of obstacles may surround us.
I made the descriptions bold since I find these messages extremely important for us. Goi Sensei says that our will to pray the prayer for world peace with perseverance creates true courage. In other words, it means to steadfastly continue to pray “May peace prevail on earth” by ignoring any karmic provocations and by persevering whatever hardships. As an example, Goi Sensei speaks about Mr. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido.
Mr. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido cannot be defeated by any opponent regardless of the skill or the weapon. This is because Mr. Ueshiba is united with the universal law of harmony, and his body is converted into a spiritual body, although it appears to be physical. In other words, his body is comprised of fine vibration that is beyond the control of the material power in this world. Mr. Ueshiba proves this principle through his small physical frame of about 150 cm tall.
Our prayer of humanitarian love, that is, the prayer for world peace, represents the same principle as that of Mr. Ueshiba’s Aikido. Through the vibration of the world peace prayer, our surroundings are enveloped in the divine light vibration, which creates a vibrational gap between the violent vibration that intends to harm and injure people. And due to this vibrational gap, any factors that appear to oppose and hamper us naturally disappear, opening up a peaceful and bright path.
Although there may be a number of difficulties to overcome before reaching this condition, it is essential that we continue praying the peace prayer thinking that these obstacles will all vanish away in the end. Unless we steadfastly adhere to this resolve, this earthly world will collapse someday in a major war or natural disaster.
Although we are unaware of it, our tireless prayer for world peace has surely been changing our dimensional level from that of material or third-dimension to that of high, divine spiritual dimension, or total harmony. Those of us who are enveloped in the great light vibration are immune to any violent and destructive vibration because nothing negative can harm us due to the dimensional gap.
Since all vibrations that appear to threaten us are bound to fade away, everything will improve eventually if we simply continue praying the world peace prayer. Those who continue praying the prayer for world peace, calling on Goi Sensei and uniting with him through continuous gratitude are the ones who emanate the vibration of light and harmony. They will only attract vibrations with similar wavelengths, because this world is a world of vibration. It is for this reason Goi Sensei writes as follows:
Rather than arguing whether we should have weapons or not, we need to elevate human mentality from that of destruction to that of great harmony. Acquiring endurance and true courage in this endeavor is the absolute necessity for human beings from now on.
While explaining his teachings of fading away together with prayer for world peace as the method that easily makes everyone ride the universal law and attune with the divine will of great harmony, Goi Sensei continues to write:
Our thoughts that acknowledge enemies, accuse social evils, as well as our thoughts that despise, fear and envy others, and blame and judge ourselves – we should identify all these thoughts as unharmonious vibrations in this world, and regard them to be fading away. Keeping this view in mind, we should continue immersing all such thoughts in our tireless and single-hearted prayer for world peace. It is vital that we continue living in this way.
You need only to live this way naturally just as you breathe from moment to moment; there is no necessity to specifically concentrate your consciousness or strain yourself. You need only to continue praying while single-heartedly asking for the protection of your Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits and offering gratitude for their protection.
As for myself, I still feel a great inner urge to ask for protection of my Guardian Deity and Guardian Spirits. Since our Guardian Deities and Spirits are with us to help us, until we become independent and mature in terms of our souls, there is no necessity to feel ashamed to call on them and ask for their support, power, wisdom, and light. This is because the single wish of our Guardian Deities and Spirits is the growth and elevation of our souls. We can give the greatest joy to our Guardian Deities and Spirits by developing our true mind and divinity and by constantly offering gratitude to them.

Our prayers for peace, celebrating each nation, are a powerful invocation of light and love to the world, and are a unique part of the events. Symphony of Peace Prayers is part of the Shift to a spiritual consciousness that is building up on the planet.
Since 2007, the SOPP has been linked with the Global Peace Meditation and Prayer Day event (www.globalpeacemeditationprayerday.org)
www.fujideclaration.org (from mid March)
We look forward to sharing your presence & participation, along with as many of your family and friends as possible for this special afternoon.
Please feel free to network this event to all your friends of peace, spiritual groups and communities.
All are very welcome.
With Infinite peace Infinite love Infinite blessings,
