THE AUTHOR
Master Masahisa Goi was born in Tokyo, Japan, on the 22nd of
November, 1916. After World War II, he dedicated his entire
self to God, which was succeeded by a series of rigorous spiritual
training. Following this, he attained enlightenment and
started the World Peace Movement through Prayer. The teaching
is steadily spreading in Japan and abroad with many followers
working extensively. He returned to the Divine World
in 1980.
THE PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
May peace prevail on earth.
May peace be in our homes and countries.
May our missions be accomplished.
We thank thee, Guardian Deities
and Guardian Spirits.
HOW MAN SHOULD REVEAL
HIS INNER SELF
Summaryo f the teachingo f MasterG oi
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.

PREFACE
Everyone longs for individual tranquility and seeks to find
peace for his country and mankind. Realistically speaking,
however, our world is becoming extremely difficult for mankind
to live in.
This is so, on one hand, because mankind itself is making
it difficult to live in. As a part of the Great Universe, the
evolution of the earth is naturally taking place and unless
mankind evolves in proportion to the evolution of the earth, it
will become impossible to survive.
Earth is composed of a myriad of animals, plants and minerals
with mankind at its apex. No matter how hard man strives
for wisdom, unless he borrows from the energies of animals,
plants and minerals, he cannot accomplish anything. Everything
operates as a result of the harmonious interaction between all
that exists on earth.
However, due to the expansion of civilization and culture,
and countless wars, the harmony of mankind has become extremely
impaired. Unless the harmony of the earth is recovered,
the destiny of mankind will turn to tragedy.
The first step in order to accomplish the harmony of the
world is to direct the minds of men themselves toward the
dircction of harmony. Even though we cry out for the harmony
i
PREFACE
of the earth, nothing can be done if the minds of men themselves
are disharmonious.
In this present day world, it is foolish to increase one’s military
powers in order to maintain the authority of one’s country.
The present situation is one in which individuals as well as individual
countries must steadily advance toward a harmonious
direction.
This book continues to explain and point out the path which
mankind should follow using simple words such as harmony
and peace. No matter how well one understands theories in one’s
head, he will not become a great man, nor will mankind advance
further. Mankind will proceed to reach the mind of
God through performing the personal acts of harmony in one’s
everyday life and by continuing to vibrate the mind of peace.
This book uses the Prayer for World Peace as its focus in explaining
these phenomena.

THE FUTURE OF WORLD MANKIND
The Longing for a Transcendental Existence
Recently, there have been stories dealing with transcended
superhumans and transcended worlds being broadcasted on
television or shown on movie screens. For example, Ninjya*
movies, spiritual movies and stories dealing with the universe
are a number of such types of work.
If these topics are overlooked and overheard merely for the
sake of amusement alone, there is not much more to be said.
However, I have great interest regarding the fact that many
such works have started to appear.
This is so because firstly, those who come in contact with
such works begin to show an interest in things other than this
world which then leads to the cultivation of interest in superhumans
(mystical powers), and secondly, because of the very
fact that these works have appeared, we are able to realize the
evidence that the masses are searching for certain powerful
forces which are beyond the ordinary realm of the physical
world.
As long as the present world think that men are confined in
the physical body alone, I do not believe mankind will ever
* A secresto cietyin theo ldend aysw hosme embemrs asterevda rioums ystical
techniquteose ngagien e spionagaec tivities.
I
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
realize the world of Great Harmony. In short, it seems impossible
to attain a world free from the individual pains of
poverty, disease, old age and death and a world without conflicting
ideals between countries.
Although the majority of mankind at present wish for the
eternal peace of the world, in actuality, they do not believe that
such a world, the world of heaven on earth, will be attained.
Guessing from the course of history up to the present, the
majority believe that unless the selfish desires of man vanish
away, conflicts between men cannot be evaded. However,
they believe that these selfish desires will not vanish from the
minds of man forever. Therefore, no matter what kind of principles
there may be or policies they may execute, the majority
believe that this world mankind cannot harmonize from within
their hearts nor understand each other. On the other hand, in
the areas concerning individual lives, they have already decided
through the forceful calculations of their individual minds that
sufferings from poverty, disease, old age and death will never
vanish away.
Nonetheless, everyone wishes for world peace and to transcend
above individual life, poverty, disease, old age and death.
So it is that the masses eagerly await for transcended superbeings
and hope to realize a transcended world. During the prewar
days, these wishes and hopes saw the emergence of Hitler,
raised Mussolini and caused men to follow blindly after General
Tojo and Matsuoka. This came about as a result of the minds
of men eagerly awaiting a hero. However, for the present, such
heroes are not enough. The masses eagerly await superhumans
far superior to the abilities of man. They hasten to drive their
minds toward a transcendedw orld (a universalisticw orld) and
are confusing their thoughts. Based on such past experiences
2
THE FUTURE OF WORLD MANKIND
and intuition, the masses believe that they are not able to create
true peace on earth by the mankind of the physical world
alone. We can say that materialistic thinking has become a
habit from the past; the conception that there is nothing which
cannot be felt by the five senses. Based on this way of thinking,
the thoughts of these people do not turn toward God or
spirits. They only nebulously dream of superhumans and of a
transcended world.
These dreams have manifested as novels, plays and movies
which depict a world which has surpassed the people of earth
or the world itself.
The Movie, THE FORBIDDEN PLANET
The other day, I saw a foreign film called the Forbidden
Planet. It was a story based on the future in which mankind is
scientifically advanced way beyond that of the present. At the
onset, it is explained that mankind at that time is able to travel
to many other planets, scientifically possesses powers which are
greatly superior, and has space ships which can travel faster
than the speed of light. A number of space explorers go aboard
such a ship and plan to land on a particular planet. The movie
continues to depict the happenings which occur on this planet.
On the planet in this movie, lived a certain scientist and his
daughter who recently had arrived from Earth. The scientist, at
first, denied the landing of the explorers, however, the explorers
went on to make a forceful landing. So it followed that the
scientist had to then explain the situation of the planet and
showed many types of scientific machines to the explorers. The
scientific advancements of the planet were way beyond the
conception of earth mankind. It is explained that these scientific
gadgets were born from the wisdom of particular creatures who
3
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
used to inhabit the planet during ancient times. Even while
possessingw isdom close to God, these creatures were attacked
by some mysterious power and were totally annihilated. While
explaining as such, the scientist distorted his face in a frightening
manner and added that it was due to this mysterious power
that the members of his group died one after the other.
Then he said to the commanding officers that he felt this
frightening power would also descend upon them.
As the scientist had said, the explorers were killed one after
the other by a monster which could not be seen by the eyes.
Soon they realized that it was an invisible monster resembling a
gorilla. This invisible monster appeared as a result of the satanic
thoughts within the subconsciousnesosf the scientist.I t is concluded
that these thoughts of wanting to protect his individual
scholarly rank and his daughter took the form of the monster
and attacked those who tried to rob him of his daughter and
invade his scholarly attainments.
The writer comments in this film that satanic thoughts (fear)
enlarge in equal proportion to the advancement of intelligence.
He concludes that man is man all the way and cannot become
godlike. This film is probably an allegory based on the fact that
due to the advancement of science, mankind on the contrary,
has come to experience the fears against atomic bombs. I feel
that mankind, in general, thinks much like the writer of this
movie.
Why do Conflicts Occur ?
Thoughts of selfish desires which lie concealed within the minds
of mankind, thoughts of wanting to gain advantage before
others and wanting to be in a better position over another country
are quite deeply rooted. It is clear that such thoughts create
4
THE FUTURE OF WORLD MANKIND
conflicts between individuals and struggles between countries
and races. Unless these thoughts vanish away, peace among individuals,
countries and races will not be one of reality. No matter
what kind of agreement or treaty there may be, they are only
good while the balance between the selfish advantages of both
parties is being maintained. They are not for eternity.
Moreover, there are large and small among desires. There are
countries like the Soviet Union who are trying to bring the
world under their supremacy and there are small countries who
are satisfied if only their nations can remain safe and peaceful.
The present is an age where even the moderate desires of
the smaller countries in wishing to maintain peace within their
nations are crushed by the military forces when faced with the
unreasonable desires of the larger countries. With mankind’s
way of thinking as it stands at present, world peace is an
unreality.
That is at first suppressing the ambitions of a country is the
military force of the other larger country. If one country tries
to suppress the ambitions of the opposing country directly from
the front, an atomic world war will result. Therefore, world
mankind is placed in a situation where they cannot make a
move, be it to the left or to the right. How then can the general
masses who do not even participate directly in the politics of
their country be of service to world peace?
The Thoughts of Individuals Create the Destiny of
Mankind
As I have mentioned previously, the selfish desires of nations are
causing the world to become restless and disturbed. In other
words, however, the selfish desires of a nation can be said to be
the great accumulation of the selfish desires of each individual.
S
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
What we refer to as the thoughts of each individual becomes
vibrations as they are to circulate around the universe. These
thoughts gather together to form the destiny of mankind.
Therefore, the thoughts of each and everyone of us, be it large
or small, influence the destiny of world mankind without
a doubt.
It is a great misunderstanding to think that an individual has
no relationship to the world. If one of you put forth a thought
of attacking another, this means that you have added an evil
intention to the mind of the world.
Therefore, no matter how minor the thought, unless it is
erased as something erasable, it will be recorded within the
thought vibrations of world mankind.
When these thoughts eventually accumulate, they appear as
the destiny of mankind.
Thoughts and the Physical Body
As a general rule, common people think that man is of the
physical body.
In actuality however, man which you are all referring to, is
the accumulation of each thought vibration. The physical body
is simply just a place for accumulating thoughts. The assemblage
of these individual “places” for accumulating thoughts (the
physical body) forms nations and the world.
Please think deeply. The physical body moves when man
thinks of moving and speaks when he thinks of speaking. If
the physical body moves or the mouth speaks without any prior
thinking, it is none other than the actions of a unique person
(a madman or a spiritualist). It is clear that thoughts drive
the physical body. Then, we can say that “thoughts” are the
principle and that the “physical body” is a place or a vessel.
6
THE FUTURE OF WORLD MANKIND
Hereupon, it follows that man is of thoughts and that the physical
body itself is the vessel for man. This will be the conclusion
if the thinking process of ordinary people were to be followed.
However, my personal ideas go a step further. That is to say
that even the thoughts which drive the physical body are not
of true man but one of the functions of true man. No matter
what is done as long as this reasoning remains unknown, true
world peace and the spiritual peace and enlightenment of individuals
will not be attained.
Without knowing the original image of man himself, there
is no way the peace of individuals, mankind and the world will
manifest. That is why the Greek philosopher Socrates said,
“K
now thyself”.
What Is the Source which Emits Thoughts
Then, if that which emits thoughts is not the thought itself,
what is it that does? It is the energy called life. If the word
energy seems strange, let us say it’s some force. Without this
force, all living things are not able to function.
Some may simply say, “Oh, is it just life”, however, it is
this life force which is the all inclusive force that moves mankind.
Our mankind moves with the mysterious force called life
as its source.
What is life? No one can give an accurate answer to this
question. No one can clarify this force called life. Yet, no one
can deny that it is the driving power of this all inclusive force
which is necessary for mankind.
The life force is the source of all of our functions such as our
imagination, thinking, the absorption of our knowledge and
the functioning of our internal organs. If our thoughts do not
reach this level and if the facts above are not regarded as the
7
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
starting point, there is no way a fundamental settlement can be
reached no matter what is discussed in dealing with the problems
facing the destiny of mankind.
What is life and where does life come from? The leaders of
mankind must at first confront this fundamental problem. Unless
world policies are set while clarifying these issues, the peace of
world mankind cannot be hoped for.
When life leaves the physical body, that person will face the
death of the physical body. If life departs from all mankind,
physical mankind will perish in an instant. In actuality, mankind
does not clearly recognize this obvious fact. If it was clearly
recognized why is the greatest interest not directed toward
life which departs from the physical body. The fact that life
departs from one individual means that eventually the life of
all mankind which exists at present will depart from the physical
body. Physical men, of which there are a few billion on this
earth today, will all become corpses in a matter of a hundred
years and their lives will depart away somewhere.
Do you not think that physical man is strange for he does not
hold particular interest toward these extremely important issues
but simply directs his greatest interest toward the happiness
and unhappiness, the advantages and disadvantages and the
losses and gains in the physical world at the present time.
Whether or not they be within the average life span of sixty
or seventy, what do these worldly conditions of no more than
a hundred years mean anyway?
Most of the leaders and the masses do not know that the true
problem actually exists beyond; that it is within the inner life
during the span of life.
Without trying to investigate the whereabouts of life in the
least, and with such shallow concepts that individual lives perish
8
THE FUTURE OF WORLD MANKIND
through the death of the physical body, even if an attempt is
made to manifest the truth of mankind or to think of ways in
which to construct true peace on earth, it is quite obvious that
there is no way these attempts will be possible. I think it is
inevitable that the world be ruined given the present battlefront
in which groups of people are trying to come up with world
policies without even researching life.
What I would like to frankly say here is that world peace
will only be made successful by those who are able to function
the source of life (God) within themselves through the
insatiable research of life and through some means of making
contact with worlds other than our physical world such as the
astral world, the spiritual world and the divine world (including
the worlds of other planets). I feel that it will be based on the
methods of both natural science and spiritual science. Nay, it
will be the result of the exchange between both.
Those who can Save the World.
Life is eternal for the individual. Even after one leaves the
physical body, he continues to work eternally as an individual
in the other worlds while living within God at the same time.
The movement of those who realize these facts above becomes
a great force which is able to save the world.
As I have mentioned previously, true peace and the ideal of
God do not spring forth from groups of foolish people who do
not understand that man of this physical world is but one function
of life (God and spirits); they foolishly misunderstandi n
thinking that man is simply here to gain satisfactionf rom his
personal selfish desires, and while putting aside the research of
life, they go around in circles about the make-believe path of
peace and the fortunes of this phenomenal world. Without
9
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
knowing the functions and ideals of God, it is impossible to
manifest them in this world.
Even if tyrannical powers are suppressed by the greater forces
of another, by no means does this provide a criterion for the
attainment of peace if there lie sentiments of self-centered
desires within. This is a point which can surely be understood
by individuals as well as the world.
Genuinep owers of absolute unselfishnesiss the only kind of
power that can suppress tyranny. True world peace will be
realized only when the world unites under this genuine nonobstructed
power. However we cannot observe such genuineness
and unselfishnessw ithin the conditionso f the countries of the
world at present.
Are there countriesi n this world that possessth is mind of absolute
unselfishnesasn d genuineness?U nfortunately,I cannot help
but reply that I am unable to locate such countries in this world.
For absolute unselfishnesas nd genuineness,f or absolute love
and unity, I do not know of any other method than to turn
to God who is the source of life.
The life of our predecessors, which departed from our
physical world is working even closer to the Great Life (God)
in a higher world where their vibrations are much finer and
where they can function freely. There are physical men who
research the whereabouts of life and ascertain the existences of
the other worlds. They further directly grasp or know by intuition
about the many lives (the spirits of our ancestors and
Guardian Spirits) who have finished their physical lives in this
world before us and who are adorned with wisdom and abilities
even closer to God, about the countless gods who are working
as directd escendantsf rom the Great God and about the existence
of Guardian Deities of which I mention. I am one who is firmly
I0
THE FUTURE OF WORLD MANKIND
convinced that physical men who have turned toward the world
as the above are the apostles of salvation.
It is not right for world mankind to leave things only up to
the activities of large countries and move in response to what
they say. Nations without military power or resources are those
who are able to become countries and nations of salvation for
mankind. No matter how much they struggle, there are countries
who cannot help but become externally subordinate to
other bigger countries. This means that it will only be possible
to find a way out internally. It is the only excellent opportunity
in order to connect with the inner world, the divine world.
Japan among others, for the time being, is one such country
which has this opportunity.
Such countries must grasp the inner world (the divine
world) through prayer, discover the other worlds through
spiritual research and fully apply these forces. Man is a being
who holds the country of God within. The life of man is something
which flows from the inner country of God out towards
the physical world. As long as the physical body is thought of
as man, this reasoningi s not understandable.T he physicalb ody
is man’s vessel. It is a place where man works.
Let’s Believe In God and Offer the Prayer for World
Peace
In order to realize this truth, it is good to recognize through
spiritual research, the countless conditions of the people who
have already departed the physical world. What is even more
beneficial is to genuinely accept what I propose immediately
in believing that you are beings who have come from the
life of God, and that you have come as God’s principle itself
to fulfill God’s missions upon this earth. In addition, it is im-
II
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
portant to constantly pray that your divine missions be accomplished
facing the God within your hearts and to continue
to give thanks to your Guardian Deities and ancestor spirits
(Guardian Spirits) who have come from God as guides to assist
us in fulfilling our divine missions.
Without the Great Life (God), the small lives (man) do not
exist. The tragedy of mankind started when this plain fundamental
truth became obscured.
The present destinies of each one of us as well as the present
destinies of mankind all came about through the thought behaviors
of men which have forgotten God and wandered from
the doctrine of God.
This is calledk arma which was born out of spirituald arkness.
As long as man himself thinks that he is of the physical body and
that it is natural for him to possess selfish desires, the movement
of these karmic thoughts will not vanish away but circulate.
We should attain a mind so as to clearly deny these karmic
thoughts. It is important to believe that you are a being who
came from God (direct spirits), that you have come to fulfill
God’s mission in this world, that you are being used by God
and that there are no karmic thoughts. Earnestly rely on your
Divine Guardians who are protecting you and continue to
thank them. We should fade away the bad thoughts which
come forth from within ourselves without being attached to
them and any bad situations that may arise as being the vanishing
images of the faults of our past. Even if you become
attached, such thoughts of attachments however, will also fade
away. Hereupon, the peace of the individual is born and out
of this peace, the true Prayer for World Peace is born, whereupon,
the activities of the Saviors who will save this world
will become easier to perform.
I2
PRESENT DAY AND MIRACLES
Looking at the Facts
Up till now, world mankind has on many occasions, come to
the verge of total destruction. Such accounts have been written
in many ancient books. We are again, at this present age, cornered
into a great predicament where we cannot possibly prevent
the destruction of the world with the wisdom and resources
of mankind alone.
This is a fact which can be confirmed by anyone of those
people who are seriously thinking as far as the destiny of mankind.
However, when it comes to the question of how this
crisis can be overcome, it is governed by shady idealistic theories
and when it comes to tackling the actual problem, it seems that
no one can figure out at all where to begin.
Some grieve over the government’s lack of ingenuity, others
lament over the helplessness of religion, while even others dwell
on idealistic peace plans which cannot be realized without its
initial enforcement by the leaders of the Soviet Union.
It’s fine to grieve or bicker over the helplessness of current
politics and religion. However, grieving or bickering without
having any method of practice is like the howling of dogs. In
actuality, I feel that this only serves to depress the hearts of
people and is not “light-giving” in any way. No matter what
13
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
great theories one may possess individually, it is of no use to
show them off if these idealisms are impossible to be performed
by their own abilities or by those who surround them. “If only
the Soviet Union or the United States would follow this theory,
the world will become peaceful.” Parading such theories are
useless.
These idealisms may be great theories but they are useless
because the initiators must often be another country or leaders
from other countries and not oneself or one’s own country.
They become theories which can hardly become implemented.
To draw an example, let’s look at the problems facing the
United Nations in dealing with the nuclear arms control, and
a step back to the problems dealing with the nuclear arms test
ban issue. Given such a predicament, no matter how much small
nations may raise a clamor, if the proposals do not prove advantageous
to the national defense of the two powerful countries of
the United States and the Soviet Union, these proposals will not
be accepted.
Instead of ordinarily possessing deep insight or long term
thinking, physical men are more easily moved by the thoughts
of self-defense and self-advantages of that particular moment.
Therefore, if placed in the position of the American leaders,
unless a truly deep religious mind is inherited, upon seeing that
the Soviet Union holds worldly ambitions, a great suspicion will
emerge against her each and every move. It becomes inevitable
but to think of the implications deeply behind the actions and
proposals of the Soviet Union. The United States feels that no
matter what the situation, if she were to stand in the shadow
of the Soviet Union, her national honor would be impaired
and result in her loss of worldly trust.
Even if a proposal is made by the Soviet Union, such thoughts
14
PRESENDTA YA NDM IRACLES
held by the United States become the reason why nuclear tests
cannot immediately be banned. Unless the karmic thoughts of
the United States and the Soviet Union (which are the desires
of the Soviet Union and the fearful minds of the United States),
are abolished, it will be concluded that the peace of world
mankind will never eternally manifest.
While karmic thoughts of desire and fear possessed by the
Soviet Union and the United States exist along with the present
day consciousnesos f rivalry, no matter what kind of ideas each
country may present, it only serves to give off some light (hope)
for that given moment alone. These tracks are different from
that of fundamental world peace.
I can declare that as long as mankind lives as physical man
up to the present, peace will never eternally manifest. The reasons
are because individuals are living with relativistic consciousness
toward others and cannot detach themselves from
their individualistic desires, and because nations cannot detach
themselves from thinking about their national self-defense.
Physical Man Alone is Useless
No matter what great words physical man may say, how many
can express happiness from the bottom of their hearts toward
the profit of others even more than toward one’s own profit?
I feel this to be the same for countries.
I always thought seriously about this fact. As a result, I became
rest assured with the idea that the greater part of mankind,
including myself, can only live egocentrically and that we are
but common mortals. I realized that as long as mankind exists
as being physical man, individuals and mankind alike will not
be saved.
I feel that this point is the most important issue for individuals
IS
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
as well as for mankind. Unless this point is understood in all
seriousnessp, eople will have to go on living while hanging in
mid air indefinitely.
We must clearly realize that man as the physical body, in
other words, physical man (mortal man), has no power whatsoever.
Upon entering the path of religion after much effort,
many misinterpret their karmic wisdom and knowledge as those
coming from God. They parade these karmic wisdom and
knowledge and drift back to the world preceding religion, the
world of desire-driven beings (the physical, astral and low
spiritual levels). Many mistake this running about in the world
of desires as being the true world of wisdom.
Many people speak and act in similar fashion, however, it
naturally becomes quite evident whether people are speaking
words coming from the world of God and performing deeds
of light initiated by God or whether they are of the karmic
world, the words and actions of the world of desire-driven
beings.
We will be able to distinguish between these two once we
completely deny all our physical thoughts (mortal thoughts)
and accept the fact that the physical body is useless and that
people are common mortals. In other words, it becomes difficult
to distinguish unless we reach the state of casting everything
aside, the state of being “empty”.
Therefore, contrary to one’s expectations, there are times
when an old countrywoman who has no knowledge at all but
who purely throws everything into the hands of God performs
deeds of great wisdom. This wisdom was made possible due to
the fact that this old woman returned all her thoughts to God.
There are people in this world who are stuffed with knowledge.
However, having more knowledgeable resources, on the con-
16
PRESENT DAY AND MIRACLES
trary, makes it even harder to cast them away: they cannot become
“simple fools”. They stop true wisdom from springing
forth. Once these people become “simple fools” completely and
throw everything into the hands of God, I think they will become
men of great wisdom like the apostle Paul (Christ’s disciple).
This applies not only to individuals but nations as well. If
the Soviet Union, China and the United States do as such, the
world will immediately advance toward the path of great
peace. However, this only amounts to an idealism previously
mentioned and is not to be performed by myself nor the country
of Japan so it is useless but to only give it a mention.
Religion and Miracles
Now, we will proceed to the main subject dealing with the
present day and miracles.
When men of religion talk of miracles, scholars or people
who are considered to be of the knowledgeable class try to make
a laughingstock of those who do. Being influenced by this, it
is customary for those who can only think along materialistic
ways to spread gossip about that religion and their miraculous
ways as being the silly talk of superstitionists.
The fact that difficult illnesses are cured by religious faith and
spiritual healing is not necessarily a miraculous matter for us.
However, the majority of those who are known as scholars or
knowledgeable men today, deny these facts in a mocking tone.
Lately, nevertheless, there has been a number of medical doctors
who have clearly publicized the fact that religious faith and
spiritual healing has resulted in the recovery of difficult illnesses.
I feel that this is a truly positive step.
The reason why established religion, especially Buddhism,
I7
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
has completely lost its charm for the masses is because they are
only teaching Buddhism in an idealistic and scholastic way.
They have entirely written off the aspect of miracles which the
founders have expressed.
Miracles always accompany religion. If miracles are not born
out of one’s religious faith, such a religious faith is not genuine.
True men of religion follow a steadfast path with an unmoving
mind while living an ordinary life just as naturally as the flowers
bloom and the rivers flow. While looked upon by regular
people, these men are always attaining miracles even while performing
common daily deeds. As I always mention, we should
try to live with supra-common sense (divine sense) without
derailing from common sense (mortal sense).
If we simply live with common sense alone, however, we are
now in a state where we will lead the world to destruction.
Ordinarily speaking,c ommon senses ignifiess uch thoughts and
actions as that of protecting oneself before others, thinking of
one’s household profits before that of others, thinking of the
profits of one’s country before that of other countries, depending
only on science when taken ill and being constantly worried
about one’s own health and living. Furthermore, ordinarily,
common sense is to think that man is living with the physical
body alone, not being aware of the existence of the other worlds
till death. It is the recognition that this world is moved by the
physical man alone. Those who think along the lines of worldly
common sense are oblivious to the fact that they are constantly
surrounded by invisible spirits; that these spirits could
either be enlightened beings who are protecting them or may be
wandering spirits who are harming them. So then, will this
world ever be saved by such common sense? I’m afraid there
is no way it will !
18
PRESENT DAY AND MIRACLES
Will mankind be saved if established religions preach the
teachings of Buddha, Jesus and other founders while ignoring
the issue of miracles? If we listen to high teachings, we may
feel good at that given moment or even shed tears of gratitude.
Then again, if the scriptures are read and hymns sung, it is true
that our hearts leave this earthly world. Hence, it is probably
better than not to read nor sing.
Unless We Manifest a Great Miracle
However, what percentage of mankind will actually be able to
enter salvation through such deeds as the reading of scriptures
and the singing of hymns? The weak powers of such deeds of
good are completely helpless against the powerful waves of
karmic thoughts which surround mankind, trying to lead mankind
to the depth of destruction.
Under present circumstances in which countries are conducting
politics for the benefit of their own profits, the powerful
waves of karma can be ascertainedi mmediatelyi f we clearly
look at the karmic thoughts (lost confused thoughts) which
have overly accumulated.
No matter how excellent the sermon or consoling the art,
unless there emerges a great miracle of supra-common sense, it
is impossible to prevent the fall of mankind. Sermons are fine
and art is fine of course, but the most fundamental issue here
must be this single notion of preventing the fall of mankind.
In saying thus, people with shallow minds think that mankind
will be saved from destruction if the nuclear arms of each country
can be stopped from being used. In actuality, however, it
is not so simple.
Even though nuclear arms are not used there are means such
as the peace offensives of the Soviet Union. Once Japan gets
19
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
pinned down under the foot of the Soviet Union, she will
become a nation stripped of all her freedom. She must refer to
the experience of Hungary and think deeply. It is inevitable that
after this peace offensive,t here will again be a fierce weaponry
struggle between the big powers.
Japanese have the habit of perceiving all events in an escapist
fashion. This escapist way of thinking will eventually destroy
oneself and countries alike.
It is now that we must seriously think about the peace of
Japan and the world; a peace which will last for eternity. Therefore,
I am crying out that the common sense which has served
up till now is of no good.
While being within the boundaries of common sense and
decency of this world, everything must attain supra-common
sense (divine sense). Lately, I have been especially emphasizing
that it is now that we must manifest this great miracle on earth.
Without this great miracle, our world will not be saved.
There has been no other age when this fact has been more
acutely felt than it has been today. By this we do not mean the
appearances of small miracles; that of being cured from illness
or recovering from poverty. It must be an appearance of a great
miracle; a supra-common sense (a divine sense) which will
overturn the worldly values of common sense and decency
which has served up till now.
Destruction or the Appearance of Heaven on Earth
The world is facing an age being placed at the crossroads of
either manifesting destruction or heaven on earth. We must
clearly recognize this fact.
A divine message is being revealed to all spiritualists; the
message that heaven will manifest on earth. However, there are
20
PRESENT DAY AND MIRACLES
quite a few who predict that the majority of mankind will be
destroyed by the time heaven on earth manifests. I also firmly
believe that heaven on earth will manifest, however, I do not
deny the tremendous loss which will occur beforehand. If
we, who pray for world peace, are only concerned with our
personal salvation, it is certain that we will be saved as well
as those around us. This is so because we see all unhappiness
and misfortunes as the fading images of the cause and effect
from past lives. We know the truth that when the karmic
causes and effects vanish away, the true self, the inborn nature
of the child of God will manifest within ourselves. We also
know that Guardian Divine Spirits are always protecting us
from a close proximity.
So, no matter what will happen, we who pray for world
peace, will not panic, cry or clamor as common people may.
We will only call upon our Guardian Divine Spirits wholeheartedly
and entrust our destiny within the Prayer for World
Peace. In case we were to die with such thoughts, we know
through the experience of many people, that we would definitely
be born in another world even better than the present.
This means that whether we depart or remain in this world, it
is of little significance. Though there may be some differences
in the frame of mind, among those who have departed this
world, there is no one whose frame of mind wanders at the
crossroads of hell. These are the fruits of the ceaseless prayers
for world peace.
We, who pray for world peace, realistically confront these
issues but they are not dealt with by the mentality of mankind
as a whole. I wish from the bottom of my heart that mankind
will not have to die within the confines of agony. I wish to
lessen the victims of this world mankind even by one person.
2I
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
It is not an exaggeration to say that my wishes fall upon
single point.
this
The Great Miracle will Manifest
For this purpose, it is important for the great miracle which
I am hoping for to manifest upon this world one day sooner.
What is this great miracle? As I have mentioned periodically, it
is the cooperation with the transcendental super power through
the appearance of cosmic beings. Furthermore, it is the physicalization
of divine spirits. In other words, divine spirits will
manifest their actual image upon this physical world. These
two points signify the great miracle.
Although they may be regarded as one point in actuality, they
are two. Namely, it is the appearance of a power way beyond
the powers of major countries who are solidly massed
together with karmic thoughts. In this present world , there are
no powers which can suppress the Soviet Union and the United
States. Unless a power which can suppress them appears, the
karmic thoughts of these two nations will finally crash head on
which will also go on crash with the karmic thoughts of each
country. There is no doubt that the world will be thrust into
an irreparable situation.
I am hoping for this transcendental power. Rather than
saying I hope for, it was initiated by beings from other stars
in the universe. They could not bear to watch our erratic behaviors
any longer. In response to our Prayer for World Peace,
they have corresponded from their side stating that no matter
how small, if a peaceful land region appears on earth, they will
come down to use this area as a base in order to cooperate with
the people of that land for the purpose of conducting a great
transcendental power. This great transcendental power is not
22
PRESENT DAY AND MIRACLES
like the military force of this earth. It is a scientificf orce which
can suppress military forces no matter what they may be.
Cosmic beings have offered to work toward the attainment of
world peace by displaying this scientific power in cooperation
with us.
Up till today, there have been no areas on earth that have
manifested true peace. However, in starting our Prayer for
World Peace by the request of God, the atmospheric air surrounding
us gradually became purified, overflowing with
peaceful energies. We are not necessarily performing functions
of any other kind. While performing our personal jobs and
occupations, we are only continuing to practice the Prayer for
World Peace as our fundamental mind and way of life.
Our Prayers for World Peace
Harmonize with the echoes
of the mind of God
Oh, what joy it is to pray
Keeping the mind of this tanka poem as our own, we are
praying the Prayer for World Peace with a free and harmonious
frame of mind. Being the central figure of this movement, I
am earnestly performing the functions of purifying individuals
and extinguishing the karmic cause and effect of the world in a
state of total emptiness while forming mudras (hand signals and
movements).
Please constantly keep in mind that the mind of Great God
is Great Love and that this mind of Great Love protects our
destinies through the functions each of our Guardian Deities.
Furthermore, please keep in mind that this mind of Great Love
demonstrates a tremendous power in unfolding the destinies
of nations and races.
23
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Great God exists majestically. In addition, Guardian Deities
are directing their eyes of deep love in various fashion toward
mankind. Moreover, those ancestors of ours who are enlightened,
are protecting us without fail as Guardian Spirits from
a close proximity.
This fact has been confirmed by many people. Therefore, do
not be afraid of your own destinies and continue to practice
the Prayer for World Peace and live with dignity.
Your Prayers become the Motive Force in Saving World
Mankind
If people laugh saying that these facts are purely superstitions,
let them laugh. In the near future, even these people will have
to recognize the existence of Guardian Divine Spirits. The time
is near at hand. In order to speed up the advent of this era and
lessen the loss of mankind, I am asking for your assistance
through the Prayer for World Peace.
This prayer rectifies the destiny of individuals while at the
same time works to purify the destiny of mankind, till finally
it manifests heaven on earth. I feel that it is this Prayer for
World Peace which mankind today must practice with united
energies.
If mankind falls, how can the destiny of individuals exist?
The life of an individual is a single fragment of a large body
called world mankind. The movement of individual lives, their
thought waves, affects the destiny of mankind immediately.
The movement of mankind and nations can alter the destiny of
individuals in any way.
The age has come when we must transcend the common
sense valid till today and live a lifestyle of supra-common sense
while not derailing from common sense. The reason why this
24
PRESENT DAY AND MIRACLES
world is one step prior to destruction is because every wave of
karmic thoughts from past lives is rising to the surface. If these
karmic thoughts move in keeping with the Laws of Natural
Revolution, it will result in a tragic situation, namely the
destruction of entire mankind. However, the Great Love of
God is functioning at this worldly level as the protection of
each Guardian Deity and the work of the Great Light of Salvation
so that this tragedy can be detained at a minimum. It is
now that these divine functions are being performed on a grand
scale throughout this world. For myself, these functions have
instigated the movement of Prayer for World Peace and is
working in a way so that the Great Light of Salvation may be
perceived by the five senses of the people of this world.
All material matters are of rough wave vibrations. The
vibrations of astral and spiritual matters which cannot be perceived
by the five senses are waves which gradually become
more delicate as they go from the astral to the spiritual. But as
they become more delicate the degree of light becomes finer
till it finally reveals the functions of Great Love and Great
Wisdom, which is called the Great Light.
The mind of common mortal sense only looks at the rough
materialistic wave vibrations and recognizes them as being
the only reality. However, the advancement of science has
progressed from electronics to wave mechanics and has rapidly
widened the boundaries of common sense. However, ordinary
people cannot yet remove themselves from the notion that
material matter is a fixed reality even though they depend
heavily on science. This is strange indeed. Natural science is
several times more advanced than the scope of recognition
held by the regular masses. Even though the common masses
rely on science, they are living in a cognitive world far behind
2S
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
that of present science. That is why we are trying to reveal
the reality of God, the great light vibration, onto the cognitive
world of the common masses from the inner world of prayer.
This great miracle will definitely materialize soon. That moment
will mark the first step toward heaven on earth. The
driving force which will be able to actualize this is the Prayer
for World Peace. I ask of you to clearly recognize this fact
once again.
26
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION
TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
Let’s Change the Direction of Civilization and Culture
What would the people of the F uj i waral and Kamakura2p eriods
say if they saw the development of our present day world.
With their mouths wide agape, they would probably just blink
their eyes in total amazement. Even if those who deceased
during the Meiji3 and Taisho’ periods were to see the development
of our present day material civilization, they would be
shocked beyond reason, let alone those of the Fujiwara and
Kamakura periods.
With the practical use of nuclear power as the highest climax,
we have seen the development of jets and various vehicles;
radios and televisions for the homes; the unrestricted use of
wire and wireless radios and facilities for precision machines.
In the history known to man in general, there has never been
an age where human lifestyles have become as convenient as
that of the present day.
However, such advancements in material civilization have
always been conducted with war preparations as its motive
force. Furthermore, the development of nuclear power which

27
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
is regarded as the highest attainment for our material civilization
had been researched as a means for weapons from the
onset. This frightening weapon is still spreading the fear of
world destruction to the people of the world.
As we think along these lines, as long as material civilization
is solely based on developmental research by each country and
bloc for the purpose of gaining advantages for the encampment
of individuals and individual countries, it will inevitably result
in an objective of defeating the opposing country and encampment.
Such an outcome will lead to war and mankind will
destroy herself by her own wisdom and knowledge.
So it is that in direct contrast to the happiness in which
the lifestyle of each individual has become convenient, strong
thoughts of fear that everyone will perish begin to overshadow
the whole of mankind. Instead of being joyful over such conveniences,
people who have already become accustomed to
the conveniences of material civilization do not exhibit such
thoughts of happiness any longer but lead a life trembling in
fear at the destruction of mankind. Unless the material civilization
and culture of this age changes its course in one way or
another, we will lead mankind to despair in facing the precipice
of the destruction of mankind.
As we advance our thoughts to this point, we are struck with
the fact that we are facing a period in this present day world
in which we cannot neglect some of the destructive developments
of civilization and culture which has taken place up to
now. Then comes the issue; in which direction should civilization
and culture change its course.
This transformation will not be brought about by thought
inputs from the human side. It has already been following a
natural course on its own.
28
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
This course deals with the development of material science
to the level of mental science and mental science to the level
of spiritual science. In the end, the growth of a culture, that
of a spiritual culture, will take place through the advent of
divine spirits. This science and culture will not be brought
about by the wisdom or intelligence of physical man but will
be based on the powers of Guardian Divine Spirits who are invisibly
guiding physical beings at all times. It is the manifestation
of the natural work of the Universal God.
Why is it that mankind has not yet entered the road to salvation
nor has she been able to construct heaven on earth? Concerning
these issues, I would like to give an explanation based
on divine designation.
Why was Mankind Not Able to Construct a Heavenly
Earth?
As I have always mentioned, man does not live life composed
of the physical body alone but lives while possessingv arious
bodies such as the astral, spiritual, and divine bodies. In the
beginning, Great God took His body, His light, and divided it
into various rays of light. He then functioned 7 rays of light
to operate as the power source of human beings. These 7 rays
of origin, which I call Chokurei (direct spirits from God), are
the image of God working in this world of mankind. These 7
Chokureis (direct spirits), on one hand, subdivided into other
rays of light to become Bunrei (divided spirits) to reside in
the spiritual world, and then subdivided again to become
Konpaku (astral and physical elements), to take the form of
physical man. On the other hand, some rays of light subdivided
directly from Chokurei (direct spirits) to become Guardian
Deities who function as the light of assistancein order to guide
29
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
the divided spirits who go on to become physical beings to
manifest the mind of God on earth. These Guardian Deities also
work to purify and elevate divided spirits to the position of
Guardian Spirits.
On one hand, these 7 rays of light work to function as life
and on the other hand, they play a role of allowing life to
function freely within world mankind. They have been working
continuously from the advent of mankind. The Great Light,
which is the manifestation of Great God Himself, in other
words, the Savior, is at the center shining forth extensively.
By taking many countless forms and shapes, these various
Guardian Deities help with the work of Great God; manage
the movement of the universe; and assist with the steps of
mankind so that they will be in line with the movement of the
universe.
Under such organizational layout at its foundation, world
mankind is carrying its steps forward. However, as I have
mentioned previously, world mankind is made up of vertical
links between the four worlds of divine, spiritual, astral and
physical which cannot be severed even if attempted. World
mankind is not an entity which concerns itself with the physical
world alone in proceeding with its movements.
The very act of one man being born in and departing this
world is the result of a deep relationship between Guardian
Deities, Guardian Spirits, the sun and the stars and also the
movement of the Great Universe.
We were not born as physical human beings in this physical
form from the onset. We were living at first in the divine world
and the spiritual world and then were conceived onto this earth
wearing an astral body this time around.
3o
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
As I always mention, beings who live in the divine and
spiritual worlds are light themselves. Their functions are performed
with delicate speed. While having differences in
individual natures, they work in unison with each other.
However, the physical body is a material body. Its body is
rough. When life (Reikon) takes over this body, its original
speed of light decreases rapidly and its functioning speed becomes
sluggish. The flow between the life of oneself and others
becomes unsmooth and the feeling of oneness between oneself
and others becomes lost.
However, the mind of God sends his own divided spirits into
the material world and tries to manifest his image there. Even
while God is aware that physical man will disunite themselves
from others to lead a self protective life in protecting one’s self
and kin alone, He is trying to create heaven on earth much like
the state of heaven which already exists in the divine and spiritual
worlds. Rather than saying trying, it is only a matter of
time for the mind of God which manifests itself in the divine
worlds to appear onto this earth.
The Progress of Time Which was Necessary
Mankind which descended from the divine world was to live
under the laws of the material world at one time. However,
in order to establish their individual lifestyles, they began to
hold desires of self-preservation. The differences in functioning
speed between the spiritual world and the earthly world proceeded
to become the karmic thoughts of this physical world,
in other words, the creation of what is called spiritual darkness.
This instinct of self-preservation, which detached oneself from
others, expanded one’s authority. In trying to multiply the
31
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
rights and interests of one’s country, many inventions and
findings were achieved which became the evolution of material
civilization and culture of world mankind up to this day.
This led to the manifestation of the great energy called nuclear
power and the application of light and electricity as well.
Travel at wonderful speed became possible with jets and
satellites.
If from the beginning, mankind cherished feelings of oneness
with each other, leading a life of harmonious living having no
ego or concept of “other”, there would have been no competition
amongst each other. In other words, there would have
been no tension in order to polish the powers and know-how
of each other. Mankind would have just been grateful with
life as it was and the blossoms of material civilization and
culture like that of the present day probably would not have
bloomed. For example, while walking from Tokyo to Osaka
during the olden days, if there arose no feelings of discontent
or insufficiency, people would have always continued the lifestyle
of walking to and fro. However, the feeling of being unsatisfied
with such a lifestyle, that of wanting to be first, led to the
various kinds of inventions and manifestations.
Man’s life descended from heaven as physical man in this
material world and at one time completely became physical
in nature. Detaching themselves from God, and from each other,
mankind placed full dependence on their own powers. We can
say that, the way in which mankind conceived of the developments
of the world of physical man was possible after all based
on the wisdom of God. Now, however, the time is approaching
when we must put an end to the age of material civilization
born out of physical man’s point of view as I have previously
mentioned.
32
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
Mankind has achieved material civilization and culture which
means in turn that science has achieved wonderful advancements.
However, even though we have seen the advent of many saints
till this day, the blossom of inner and spiritual cultures have not
fully bloomed. The reason is that the blooming season has not
yet arrived. This does not mean that the power of these past
saints were feeble nor that their appearances were uncalled-for.
It is just that the progress of time is necessary for all things
within this world.
The Blooming Season for Spiritual Culture is Now
The present era marks the end of material civilization and
culture and marks the coming age of the blooming of a spiritual
culture. Scientific research which started from the viewpoint
that things can be perceived by the five senses have already hit
against such vibrations as atomic, electric and elementary particles;
a vibrational world which cannot be envisaged by any
microscope, let alone be seen or touched. It has come to a stage
where science cannot possibly advance a step further. As it
stands, the antagonistic notions between countries have come to
confront each other with nuclear arms at the forefront. As
long as countries are in this state of antagonism, it is impossible
to make any moves. If moves are made, each country alike
will be thrust into a desperate situation, namely the fall of
mankind. Nations are disputing over the theories of each other,
insisting that one is correct and the other is wrong. In other
words, they are conducting a political war. Observed from
a higher viewpoint, instead of being an assemblage of nations,
they are trying to gain self assertion, placing their thoughts in
the relative world from the viewpoint of material man and
physical mankind which is now out of date. Though different
33
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
in levels of good and evil, neither of the foregoing deeds are
true and virtuous. They are karmic thoughts of self-desire and
self-preservation which will lead to the fall of mankind.
During the long life history of physical man up to this present
day, the karmic thoughts of self-preservation have entered
the depths of the subconsciousness. It has entered the sphere
referred to as the instinct. This instinct cannot be overcome
with only a slight amount of spiritual element or elements of
faith. Unless this instinct can be overcome, the crisis of war
among mankind will not vanish for eternity. This is because
thoughts of self-preservation and self-defense bring about
enemies and oppositions. If one’s aim conflicts with another,
war will naturally break out. These are helpless habitual
thoughts accumulated during the long progress of physical
life. It is a great negative aspect born out of the darkness which
had separated physical man from God.
As I have mentioned, the instinct of self-preservation up till
this age, was still of use toward the development of material
civilization and culture. However, from this point on, its positive
aspects will gradually diminish and only the negative
aspects will become prominent.
The present confrontation of nuclear arms between the
United States, the Soviet Union and China has explicitly
proven this fact; we can find no positive aspects to balance this
negativeness anywhere.
Unless these instincts of self-preservation and self-defense are
able to be overcome, neither firm policies coming from one’s
brain nor policies of compromise which yield the way will be
able to prevent war. If a firm policy is presented, neither side
will possibly be able to retreat even if they wish, which will
lead to great disasters. If one side compromises, the other side
34
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
will become bigheaded and continue along aggressive policies.
If we could perceive the flow of man’s karma, everyone would
immediately nod in agreement toward these facts.
The study of man’s karma will naturally come to take its
course, for thoughts which mankind has held up to the present,
such that man is living in the physical body alone, will have to
inevitably be reconsidered. There will be no other alternatives
than to seriously explore the fact that God is the true image
of man. From now on, physical man must manifest the true
nature of spiritual man. For this purpose, the attention of science
has already directed the eyes of each scientist from the
sphere of natural and material science to the research of spiritual
science. In such countries as the United States, Britain and India,
many scientists from the field of natural science are participating
in the research of spiritual science. Even in Japan, the eyes
of scientists in this field are being gradually refocused. The fact
that we have taken one step toward the existence of a world
which cannot be seen by microscope signifies the first transitional
step from material civilization and culture toward a spiritual
culture.
Man is not living in the physical body alone. He continues
to live vividly in the other worlds such as the astral and spiritual
worlds. In these worlds, the thought actions which were present
while in the physical body appear as they are to become one’s
destiny (such as hate others and you will be bated; hurt others
and you will be hurt). When this fact becomes known through
scientific evidence, the thoughts of self-preservationa nd selfdefense
will fundamentally overturn. They will turn into selfpreservation
and self-defense which will connect the physical
and the spiritual worlds.
Such concepts of self-preservation and self-defense in the
35
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
higher worlds become extremely different from that of the
physical body. They will not be based on such shallow concepts
of protecting only the physical self alone. They will be
focused in other words, on making one’s karmic thought actions
bright and calm, set free from such karmic thoughts as
spite, jealousy and hate, and focus on manifesting peaceful love
and truth. Rather than being forced to listen to such truths in
the form of theories and lectures as in the physical world, these
truths will be sensed as being actual reality.
However, even if sensed as actual reality, man’s karmic
thoughts are deeply rooted indeed and whether they be held
down or brushed off, it is most difficult to escape from these
karmic waves. Here emerges the teaching of the vanishing phenomena
and the reliance and entrustment toward your Guardian
Deities and Guardian Spirits which I expound. Before this, I
would like to touch upon the subject of mental science which
seems to find its place in-between natural and spiritual science.
Mental Science and Religion
The study of mental science analyzes the minds of men ever so
deeply. It is a scholastic research in which the thoughts which
lie concealed at the bottom of man’s mind are drawn out to
the surface. In man, there exists the common awareness (the
consciousness)a nd the subconsciousnesws hich lies concealed
below. This is a fact you are already aware of but the study of
mental science does not explain much about the spiritual and
godly awareness which unfolds at the depths of the subconscious.
I teach that this subconsciousi s the thought action which
has been recorded by the astral body. Through spiritual insight,
I understand that things which flow in from the surface
36
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
awareness as well as the echoes of truth which flow in from the
spiritual and godly awareness accumulate in this astral body.
The scholars of psychiatric science do not use God or spirits
as their method of reasoning. Starting from the surface awareness,
they just proceed gradually toward the depth in search of
the subconsciousness. This becomes the study of mental analysis
and quite different from that of the religious approach.
Doctors of mental science face their patients and pose many
questions. They catch the words their patients unconsciously
utter in order to explore their subconsciousness. They try to
cure ill conditions by setting free the thoughts of their patients
which cause the illness. For the most part however, patients,
on the other hand, dislike to have the secrets of their mind
explored and are not deceived by the questions of psychiatrists.
Patients and psychiatrists seem to spend time as though in states
of confrontation. In spite of the fact that this method takes
considerable time, the effects are dim.
This field of psychiatric science is being used for politics and
war strategies as well. However, since it does not recognize
God, the Absolute, which exists at the core, it seems to be at
an incomplete stage. Whether unconsciously or clearly consciously,
certain new religions moves along such laws of psychiatric
science and psychoanalysis. They preach that, “Your
sickness is due to the manifestation of such and such a mind;
you are poor because you have such a mind; the reason why
you met such unhappiness is because you held such thoughts
within your mind.” Using the old manner of explanation,
they present the law of cause and effect, and the law of the
mind in present day terms. They are preaching a religion in
a psychoanalytical manner.
Since religious psychoanalysis is reasoned with God at the
37
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
source, it should be better than the simple psychoanalysis of
doctors. However, if this method takes one wrong step, it leads
people to criticize and attack one’s inner mind as well as the
deeds of others. It comes to generate a mind of hell. While
materialistic science has provided life conveniences for mankind,
it has on the other hand, produced scientific weapons
capable of destroying mankind. If things are left the way they
are, scientific psychoanalytical guidance, which can be referred
to as the first step toward spiritual culture, will make the same
mistake as material science and approach a tremendous minus
direction.
The First Step Toward Spiritual Culture
Spiritual culture is one which reveals a harmonious way of life
based on the unfolding mind of God. It is not based on methods
of guidance in which karmic thoughts are analyzed, hurting the
minds of men.
The law of cause and effect and the law of the mind should
be used solely as tools to inform man that regardless of his state
of mind till now, his true nature is actually God Himself having
unrestricted wisdom and Great Light. People who give
guidance should not give explanations which trap the minds
of men to the law of the mind.
If such an explanation is given for example, it is like a finger
pointing at the moon, always directing people to look only at
the finger which points at the moon. If teaching is explained
in a way that the eyes are never directed toward the moon, it
will be detrimental on the contrary. It will only result in groping
at the imperfections of each other and cause the notion that
there is some kind of problem within the minds of one another
everytime unhappiness or illness is met.
38
FROM A MATERIAL CIVILIZATION TO A SPIRITUAL CULTURE
Therefore, at first, I have the people recognize the finger
which points at the law of cause and effect and the law of the
mind and then try to have them concentrate toward the direction
of the moon (God). I do away with the finger which points
at the moon by explaining that illness, misfortune, poverty are
all vanishing images of thought actions from the past which
have wandered from God. At the same time, I explain that
when you think of the vanishing image, the image of God
which rests within you, namely, your true self, begins to shine
forth. Therefore, continue to thank your Guardian Deities and
Guardian Spirits who ceaselesslyv anish your karmic thoughts
away. In this way, you will not be attached to your own karmic
thoughts nor to the karmic thoughts of others. You will be able
to forgive your own mind and stop criticizing the minds of
others. Hence, the acts of love and forgiveness will naturally
be performed. I teach that the godly nature within the minds
of each other will begin to shine forth before you realize it.
Thinking this far, I feel that when men of religion explain
the law of cause and effect and the law of the mind, they must
exhibit a great deal of deep love and must never express in
speech or behavior that which will criticize people or exhibit
a mind of arrogance on their part: they should never confront
others with the law of cause and effect and the law of the
mind. It will be identical to weapons of materialistic scientists.
I feel that great care must be taken.
Due to a typhoon which struck the Kanto region in autumn
one year, many people became flooded regardless of whether
or not they were following a religious life. The victims among
those who attended our meetings, confronted their disasters
with a truly bright and calm mind. This is because they recognized
that all manifestations are the vanishing images of the
39
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
cause and effect of their past lives, and as these vanish away,
their true godly nature will appear. Furthermore, they believed
that since their Guardian Divine Spirits are protecting them
from above at all times, they will never be placed in a predicament
where they will not be able to rise to their feet
again. These victims were able to stay bright and calm for
they had accepted the teaching that everything will turn for the
better if they wholeheartedly practice the Prayer for World
Peace and give thanks to their Guardian Divine Spirits.
Therefore, the faces of those who visited the day after the
disaster were as if they had met a great fortune. They thanked
me and themselves for being able to pass the incident with a
calm frame of mind no matter what had happened. In constrast,
however, those who held on to the psychoanalyticalla w
of the mind and that of cause and effect tried to figure out
what kind of past thoughts had manifested and where their
individual imperfections had existed. It was as if they were
chasing after their vanishing karma. They were possessed by
the idea of sin and thoughts of self-blame.
Man must, to the end, live while forgiving oneself and forgiving
others, loving oneself and loving others. I feel that
the best way is none other than thankfulness toward God.
The evolution of spiritual culture will gradually speed up and
lead to the development of a godly science (a science which
enlightens everything) based on the cooperation of cosmic
beings, namely, the manifestation of divine spirits. I feel that
our lives up till that time need only to perform the purification
of karmic thought waves of mankind through the earnest
Prayer for World Peace.

COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY
BEINGS
I Firmly Believe In and Affirm the Existence of Cosmic
Beings
Lately, books and informal essays dealing with cosmic beings
have been published here and there and have started to be
mentioned. However, do such things as cosmic beings actually
exist or don’t they, and if they do exist, in what form do they
exist? Such become very great issues.
If they were simply books or informal essays, these accounts
would be dismissed as mere novels or fantasies. However, since
quite a few people have seen UFOs in the West as well as in
Japan, these writings involve incidents which cannot be declared
as mere novels or fantasies. Still, at present, the number of
those who acknowledge the existence of cosmic beings is
minimal in this world.
If I am to state which category I belong to, though it is
needless to mention at this time, I am one who firmly believes
in and affirms the existence of cosmic beings.
Since the olden days, issues dealing with the continuous life
cycle of the soul after death have been debated in every way.
At present, the continuous life cycle of souls has been scientifically
recognized and though there are quite a few who believe
in this fact or those who believe in the world after death in
41
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
each country, they only amount to a small percentage of civilized
men.
When it comes to issues of cosmic beings and space ships,
however, it seems that those who acknowledge these existences
are far less in number than the percentage of those who believe
in the continuous life cycle of souls.
Moreover, there are a few types among those who acknowledge
the existence of cosmic beings and it does not necessarily
mean that all of them have similar points of view.
We can find two main divisions among the acknowledgers.
Materially, those who do not consider the importance of mind
or spirit in dealing with cosmic issues. This branch looks upon
space ships as mere material subsistences originating from a
supra-scientificp ower and regards cosmic beings as physically
(materially) equal in category to earthly beings. The other
branch consists of those who are trying to study space ships and
cosmic beings from a spiritual point of view.
Of course, since I am a man of religion and also a spiritualist,
I belong to the standpoint of the latter. However, also among
those who belong to the spiritual standpoint, there are two
types: those who look forward to the existence and appearance
of cosmic beings and space ships with inquisitive curiosity,
and those who feel that they must possess mental attitudes
worthy of meeting cosmic beings in order to confront them.
The latter group feel that since cosmic beings exist on spiritual
levels equal to that of divine spirits, it is necessary for earthly
beingst o elevate themselvest o these spirituall evels. Unlesst his
is done, it is useless even if one meets a cosmic being if his
wishes are based on mere curiosity and it might on the other
hand become a minus factor. In addition, the latter group
feel that in order to attain world peace, nothing can be ac-
42
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
complished through the powers of mankind alone, and so they
hope to gain assistance from cosmic beings. Based on the
sincere wishes for world peace, these people desire to have an
earnest exchange from the bottom of their hearts with cosmic
beings.
It is needless to say that our group, who pray for world peace,
is of the latter.
Why have Cosmic Beings Initiated Cooperation from
Their Side ?
Then, what differences do cosmic beings have from earthly
beings? Let me talk about this subject first. When I started to
talk about cosmic beings at lecture meetings and write about
them at intervals in our monthly Byakko magazine, oppinions
were raised such as, “Master’s teachings on the creed of the
vanishing image and thankfulness to our Guardian Divine
Spirits are very well understood and are grateful teachings but
why does Master write and talk about cosmic beings? It is truly
a disappointment”, or “Topics dealing with cosmic beings are
teachings of advantage to master, aren’t they?” Actually, even if
I do not mention cosmic beings, when people follow methods
based on the Prayer for World Peace, such as the teaching of
the vanishing image, thankfulness to one’s Guardian Divine
Spirits, daily purification and prayer meetings, they attain
happiness very quickly and near the mental state of spiritual
peace and enlightenment. The positive influences exerted by
these people toward others have become a considerable power.
Based on this fact alone, I am respectably walking the path of
truth as a man of religion.
To mention why I started to talk about cosmic beings, in spite
of this, is because cosmic beings themselves have initiated con-
43
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
tact from their side and started to conduct various exchanges:
it was not proposed from the human side.
The reason why cosmic beings have initiated contact with us
from their side is because the light waves emitted by our Prayer
for World Peace are identical to the mental vibrations possessed
by cosmic beings.
Therefore, our vibrations united as one.
The universe is made up of vibrations. They are either the
vibrations of light or karmic thought waves: the vibrations of
undeveloped light.
Earth is a dwelling of undeveloped human beings and is a
world where light and karmic thoughts (the boundaries where
light has not yet reached) are intermingled. If light and darkness
are distinctly separate in the world of shape, there are no problems.
But light and darkness are intermingled and manifest
in this world of shape. Therefore, light (mind of God) and
darkness (karma) also become intermingled in the thought
behavior of earthly beings. Accordingly, a harmonized and
peaceful world does not readily manifest itself.
Namely, prayer is the method in which this mixture of light
and darkness is clearly separated into light (truth) as being light
and darkness (untruth) as being darkness. In this way, light is
thrown toward the darkness so that it may be extinguished by
this light.
Prayer means to direct all of one’s thoughts toward God
(light) at all times.
The moment a person directs his mind toward the Prayer for
World Peace, his heart has already opened up to the endless
realm of world mankind, no matter what kind of karmic
thoughts he may have. Without noticing, that person enters
into the light of Divine Guardian Spirits who are protecting
44
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
this endless realm, by controling their areas of responsibility
and work. At the moment one directs his mind toward the
Prayer for World Peace, he is not of his own thought but has
become a humanitarian and one who has opened himself up
to the great expansive world: he can personally receive light
from the Guardian Deities of this great expansive world. To
personally receive these illuminations also means that he is,
then again, radiating light toward the physical world through
the workplace called the physical body of the individual.
To state this more simply, the Prayer for World Peace represents
the concentration of Great Light coming from the assemblage
of Guardian Divine Spirits.
Therefore, if your thoughts enter into the Prayer for World
Peace, this performs a great power in extinguishing the karmic
thoughts of mankind and needless to say, the karmic thoughts
of individuals.
Originally, this world is a world which has been manifested
by the mind of God, so there is no reason for evil to exist.
What appears to be evil is the mind of God which has not yet
been clearly manifested. In other words, the regions where the
mind of God is undeveloped, are displayed by the struggle of
evil and misfortune. They are vanishing images (the image yet
to be developed).
Through our Prayer for World Peace and the teaching of the
vanishing image, we are continuing, through the course of our
daily lives, to perform such tasks of radiating the light of God;
the work of development.
Let’s Completely Cast Away our Inquisitive Curiosities
It is natural to recognize that a lifestyle based on the Prayer for
World Peace and vanishing image is to live as children of God
45
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
and children of light. As a result, the waves of our minds unite
as they are with the spiritual light vibrations of cosmic beings.
So it is that the agreement of cosmic beings to protect mankind
was brought about by the group who pray for world peace.
If you are seeking for a true exchange with cosmic beings
you must completely cast away your thoughts of inquisitive
curiosities and denounce your greed for credit and desire for
power.
There is no other way but to develop wavelengths of a mind,
a deep and high mind, which are equal to those of cosmic
beings. In other words, it is of no use unless one develops
thoughts which have voided the ego.
We, who pray for world peace, have never viewed cosmic
beings with inquisitive curiosities nor have we desired their
exchange with us through greed for credit or desire for power.
We have been functioning from the beginning through our
interactions with divine spirits, and in my case, I am a direct
manifestation of divine spirits while being clothed in the physical
body. Therefore, instead of cosmic beings at this stage in
time, I was thinking that the assistancet hrough the materialization
of divine spirits would be sufficient enough.
However, while continuing to exchange with cosmic beings
as I am now, I have come to realize that unless there is cooperation
between the three bodies of physical man, divine spirits
and cosmic beings, this world will never be saved.
In other words, it means the cooperation between the three
bodies of physical man (material world) which is at the center,
the divine spiritual world and the world of stars which is the
materialization of the divine spiritual world itself.
46
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
Differences between Cosmic Beings and Earthly Beings
To state in what ways earthly man differs from cosmic beings
(mankind of the stars) is the fact that cosmic beings are beings
who are direct materializations of the divine spirits themselves.
Therefore, material cosmic beings can immediately restore
themselves back to being divine spirits. However, earthly men
have not been materialized from divine spirits directly. Physical
men have come from the delicate vibrations of divine spirits
which have roughened their vibrations to match the vibrations
of the astral state (astral body). These roughened vibrations
are further transformed into material substances of a much
rougher wave motion. In other words, we are composed of
four phases (many more phases if stated in details).
Cosmic beings can materialize (actually astralize) by some
roughening of their delicate vibrations directly inherited from
divine spirits. They are a much freer existence than physical
mankind in every respect.
However, we cannot say that all earthly men are completely
inferior to cosmic beings. There are people on earth whose
physical process of manifestations are equal to that of cosmic
beings.
Jesus Christ and Sakyamuni Buddha were such men and there
are a number of them who exist even today. Even from now,
depending on the spiritual practices, it is possible for many more
people to equal in vibrations to cosmic beings.
From now on, we will come across many who say that they
are cosmic beings themselves; that they are meeting with or
receiving information from cosmic beings. But the truth or
falsehood of these testimonies must be distinguished by the
height of their personal character and the rightfulness and
nobleness of the groups they belongs to.
47
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Even if one talks about cosmic beings excessively, if his
thought actions are of a low level, or one that has no radiance,
it is certain that what he says is either false or a trick played
by low spirits who are lurking behind him. This can be said of
psychics as well.
Even if we cooperate with such cosmic beings who appear
in response to low thought actions, there is no way mankind
will be saved.
Cosmic beings we are seeking after and exchange with are
more superior in spiritual level than that of Jesus or Sakyamuni.
Therefore, there is no way their wavelengths will agree with
superficial prominence or goodness.
Having stated this much, there may be those who think that
we, who pray for world peace, are self-elevating ourselves.
However, we work at throwing our individual thought actions
completely into the Prayer for World Peace and are born afresh
from within this prayer (the mind of God). Therefore, we do
not prize ourselves nor do we prize others but function from
a world where such karmic thoughts have no relation.
The notion of praising and being praised are vanishing images.
The notion of hating and being hated are vanishing images.
Be it good or bad, all thought actions are vanishing images.
The image of those who live within the teaching of the vanishing
image can only be that of the original image of Buddha,
the image of God.
The daily life of those who earnestly conduct themselves
within this vanishing image are bound to surely differ from
others in terms of their thoughts of attachment.
No matter what kind of person one may be, it is inevitable
for men who are clothed in the physical body to have certain
degrees of karmic thought. Therefore, if on the contrary, one
48
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
is told not to show his karmic thoughts or told to become
“
empty” it is not something which can be readily done. Instead,
it will hurt or harm the self or suppress one’s thoughts. Then
one may become a hypocrite.
However, the superhuman powers of cosmic beings manifest
from the state of “emptiness” which is not readily attainable for
world mankind. Space ships were born from within this “emptiness”
and superscientific knowledge was born from within
this “emptiness”. Therefore, unless scientists conduct their work
over again from the state of “emptiness”, no matter how long
time elapses, they will only achieve results of militaristic and
relativistic science.
As the talk reaches this point, there may be some puzzlement
at what to do, for some may say that it is impossible to reach
“
emptiness” however, it is from this state of “emptiness” that
the superscience of cosmic beings will be born.
The Mental State of Total Commitment is Emptiness
Hereupon, we come across the concept of total commitment
to God. God is all of everything and Almighty. One reaches a
mental state of Almightiness itself by believing in this Almighty
power of God. The moment one firmly believes in the Almighty
power of God, what physically human uncertainties or doubts
are there. Religious people are able to recognize the fact that
man comes from God and is a child of God.
This mental state of total commitment is equal in mind to
what is called the state of “emptiness” in Buddhism. However,
those who are able to reach this mental state of total commitment
then again are rare in this world. Although it can be theoretically
understood, it is truly difficult to perform. If this is
the case, it seems that mankind will be led to endlessly bear the
49
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
sad misery of not being able to reach the state of “emptiness” or
total commitment.
Herein, the teachings of the vanishing image and thankfulness
to our Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities, and over and
above these, the Prayer for World Peace clearly come to surface.
Are there any difficulties presented in the teaching of the
vanishing image? The physical body itself which is the castle
for physical man also vanishes in the end. Why is it that one
must become troubled and displeased by attaching themselves
to the myriads of thoughts surrounding the physical body
which vanishes away at the end? All are vanishing images.
At the “core” of this vanishing image, men of spirit, that of
eternal life, are living brightly and ever so lively. I explain this
image as being the true self or Chokurei (direct spirits from
God). Basedo n my experiences,i n order to be able to manifest
this true self while having a physical body as it is, I teach the
existence of Guardian Spirits who have an intimate relationship
with the physical body and help to vanish away the thought
behaviors of each individual and I also teach about the ways
of Guardian Deities who are of a much higher and powerful
existence.
The faith in Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities which
makes ordinary mortal men able to soar up at once to the Almighty
mind of God, is taught in a way that is as familiar, if
not more so, to individuals as their Christian faith in Jesus or
Mary or their Buddhist faith in the Goddess of Mercy.
If one attaches himself to the vanishing images alone, he will
be lead to view all worldly things in a pessimistic way. However,
if he pictures the image of God, Buddha, Guardian Spirits
so
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
or Guardian Deities radiating beneath his vanishing self, he
will be able to maintain radiant thoughts which will transform
misfortunes into fortunes.
Since I explain my teachings from the viewpoint that world
mankind is entirely mortal, we are not necessarily radiating
thoughts of light onto the world in great excess.
I teach at first to firmly put the self in the position of a common
mortal and to throw one’s mortal karmic thoughts as
vanishing images into the Prayer for World Peace and into the
assemblage of Guardian Divine Spirits. Since I teach to accept
the errors of oneself and others as well as the errors of one’s
country and others as vanishing images, there are no thought
patterns that arise to blame the self or judge others. If such
thought patterns rise to mind or appear in your actions, I teach
to treat them also as vanishing images and pray the Prayer for
World Peace with thoughts of atonement to Guardian Divine
Spirits.
In this way, as one continuously throws his karmic self into
the mind of divine spirits, his mind will become sublimated
into a state equal to that of “emptiness” and that of total commitment
without even being aware of it.
Religious Karma will Delay World Peace
Since we are living a life of daily prayer, all thought behaviors
spring forth from within our Guardian Divine Spirits, the true
self, and the Prayer for World Peace.
All religions should teach us to cast away what is called the
ego (small self) and manifest one’s true self.
However, while observing religions of all sorts up to date,
the ego (small self) has merely altered in form and has been
5′
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
replaced. Many of us are going around in vicious circles in the
state of neither having discarded our small self nor having
revealed our true (godly) self.
In extreme cases, due to the joining of some religion, a negative
factor may result on the contrary. According to the high
priest of Venus, religious ideologies of earthly man form religious
karma instead, which impairs the truth, and may delay
the advancement of the world.
After entering a religion, there are people who start to speak
and behave contrary to common sense and decency, but I particularly
caution against this. The life of those who enter the
gates of religion should be one that does not deviate from but
elevates above the levels of common sense and decency.
The aim of religious men is to be ordinary in every day life
while gaining prominence in spiritual and mystical qualities
without being eccentric. In reality, if one is able to awaken to
his relationship with God, he will be able to reveal super human
qualitiesw hich accord with the natural flow of the universea nd
transcend common sense and decency without being overly
gifted.
If this is not so, as the number of religious men increase, they
will evoke ridicule from materialists and harm the religious
mind of those who have wisdom. We can say that religious
karma is more fearful than materialism.
In this day and age we see an emergent demand for the
cooperation between righteous men of religion and scientists
who have manifested the mind of God.
However, if men of religion try to flatter scientists in order
to win a favorable position, deal with trivial :matters, and look
at things in an analytic way, that will lead to the corruption
of religious men.
52
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
Men of religion should conduct all actions till the end from
the state of committing everything to God. It is of no good
to have even the smallesta mount of selfishd esire.W ithout this
frame of mind, the tasko f attaining universalw orldpeacet hrough
the cooperation of cosmic beings cannot be accomplished.
Individual Enlightenment and the Attainment of World
Peace
On one hand, I am concentrating my energies on guiding the
general masses and on the other hand I am promoting peace
activities through universal prayer. These methods which appear
to be from a narrow point of view as well as from a broader
point of view, are actually entirely of one plane. They are
ways which are aiming at the same direction.
It is a teaching in which the elevation toward heaven and the
assistance from heaven toward earth occur at the same time
through the Prayer for World Peace. It is a teaching where
the aspects of “elevation” and “transference of heavenly merits”
manifest at the same time. “Elevation” means the elevation
of the self toward heaven in order to realize one’s true self;
and “transference of heavenly merits” means the return to the
earthly level after having realized one’s true self in heaven, with
heavenly merits in order to save others.
There are no difficult theories in this teaching. There are only
simple methods for the purpose of directing one’s thoughts
toward total commitment to God. Religious teachings are
nothing but fingers pointing in the direction of the truth.
Methods based on difficult theories or reasonings for the
purpose of directing people’s minds only toward this pointed
finger will never unite the mind of followers with the mind of
God (truth).
53
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
It is important for people to jump into the mind of God and
conduct their lives in this world with thought behaviors as
children of God. Unless the minds of all men take this direction,
the entire universe will become weary of us. Of course,
cosmic beings will never ridicule or lose interest in us but a
great burden will be laid upon them.
We should always live while differentiating our true minds
from our karmic thoughts. We will not be able to advance
easily unless we have clearly differentiated between our true
minds and our karmic thoughts.
Karmic thoughts are vanishing images. As they vanish, one’s
true self (the mind of God) will shine forth. It is important to
let this truth sink deeply into our thoughts.
It is most difficult to cast away our vanities and mortal selves
in order to become the image of Buddha or a child of God.
It is a state of mind which cannot ordinarily be reached. Therefore,
leave these sound suggestionsa s knowledge in one’s head
and regard the mortal self and one’s mortal karmic thoughts of
vanity as they are to be vanishing images and continue your
daily life by jumping into your true self, your Guardian Divine
Spirits and into the Prayer for World Peace.
The vanishing image and the Prayer for World Peace is the
easiest teaching in which one is able to attain a high mind
and vibration equal to that of cosmic beings. These are the
words of the high priest of Venus so there are no mistakes.
These facts will be clearly revealed without a doubt in the not
so distant future. So please, those of you who are reading my
book, do not only be convinced intellectually but promptly
live a daily life with the Prayer for World Peace and the vanishing
image at its foundation.
I am firmly convinced that this teaching which is extremely
54
COSMIC BEINGS AND EARTHLY BEINGS
simple and easy to practice will save oneself as well as one’s
family while at the same time, deliver the world from the third
world war and natural disasters.
I wish you could also picture the high priest of Venus, with
a gentle face full of love, standing with a radiant smile within
me while I hold this pen.
55
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW WORLD
Cast Off Your Old Shell and Advance Forward on the
Path Toward Perfection
“Neithe r do men put new wine into old bottles.” So said
Jesus Christ. However, it is difficult indeed in this present age
to execute old teachings as they were originally taught. Given
the religious setting of the time filled with superstitions, Jesus
was a saint who gave up his life and unfolded a new religious
path in preaching the truth.
While preaching his way, Jesus must have deeply grieved
over the difficulties in unfolding a new teaching without having
to destroy the old ways.
More than any other task, it is of utmost difficulty to break
away old, bad customs in order to unfold new positive ways.
However, if these old bad customs remain as they are, individuals,
societies and mankind would have to perish. As the
cells within our bodies undergo gradual new changes, the
customs of individuals and mankind should likewise undergo
gradual new changes. If we stop these new changes from
taking place, individuals and organizations alike will become
unharmonious and imperfect. They will collapse.
Although the perfected image of world mankind is clearly
envisioned within the mind of God, a good amount of time
56
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW WORLD
lapse is necessary for this image to be reflected within this
materialized world, the world of shape. The various events and
images which appear during this process of perfection are envisioned
as imperfect and unharmonious images.
The world advances toward perfection while undergoing
transitional changes in this way. In keeping with the changing
times, it is natural for transformations to occur in many areas.
The more we struggle to stop these changes, the more disorders
and disputes will take place. This will lead to rivalries between
the old and the new age resulting in a tragic situation.
On a small scale, this will appear as conflicts between parent,
child and in-laws, and on a larger scale, it may lead to ideological
conflicts between world mankind. However, if it grows any
bigger, it will lead to differences in thought patterns between
the earth and other stars. I will talk about this last issue in graduation.
We can say that conflicts and misunderstandings between the
old and new ways and patterns have caused the crucifixion of
Jesus in Judea and have appeared as countless sufferings among
various religious men, scientists and ideologists. At present, we
are at a stage where all of world mankind is inevitably being
subjected to these sufferings.
Just as our blood circulates without any rest, all within the
universe circulates without rest as well. If this circulation is
stopped, the body will have to perish and the universe will be
shattered. Unless all things move along in accordance with
their natural flow, the destruction of mankind will inevitably
take place.
Astral Habits and Physical Habits
What becomes of issue here is whether it is right in assuming
57
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
that old thought patterns are entirely bad and whether new
thought patterns are entirely good. We can say that this assumption
is unreasonable. Good and bad are intermingled within the
thought patterns of the old and the new. It never is the case
that old thought patterns are entirely bad or that new ones are
entirely good.
What I would like to mention here is the fact that mankind
must progress in a way that is in line with the natural flow of
the universe. Like the flow of water and the movement of
clouds, we must step into the natural flow of the universe, the
flow of the mind of God. In this way, natural wisdom grows
out of the wisdom of God. This means that the progression of
world mankind will develop in keeping with the natural law
and in accordance with the will of God.
Why has world mankind reached her present state of confusion
and why has she cultivated a world full of unharmonious
struggles? It is because mankind is unaware of the mind of God
or the Law of the movement of the Universe. It leads a selfcentered
life, conducts selfish politics, clings to the bad habits
of the past while incorporating the bad habits of the present.
It is because mankind has stepped onto a path which is against
the Law of the Universe, an incorrect interpretation of the old
and new ways.
As long as we live up to the mind of God and live in accordance
to the Law of the movement of the Universe, the righteous
old principles of the past will live on and work to widen
the righteous paths of the new age. In this way, the complete
harmonization of the world will be realized. However, this is
impossible unless we work to vanish away the karmic habits of
physical men.
The habits of man are frightening indeed and it is not an
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW WORLD
exaggeration to say that all actions are based on habitual impulses.
Religiously speaking, these habits are called karma and
I continually refer to them as being karmic thoughts. There are
two sides to this habit; one is the astral habit and the other
is the physical habit. They are both habits which have been
carried on from old past lives and cannot go through changes
overnight.
Among astral habits, there are those in which the light, the
mind of God, functions directly. In other words, these are mannerisms
which come directly from the flow of light and not
from karmic thoughts: these are the intrinsic qualities of man.
And there are those astral habits which are affected by the various
thought ideals in the astral world. In understanding our
physical habits, we need to know that the vibrations of our
physical bodies from previous past lives have experienced physical
life on many occasions and moreover, we also need to recognize
that these habits from past lives have been passed on
from one life to the next. They are not habits of the present life
alone. Generally speaking, these physical habits have developed
into materialistic, animalistic instinct of self-preservation.
As long as we abide by the habitual flow of our astral and
physical habits, we will come to experience some strain between
them. This will lead to an unharmonious situation between
astral and physical causing misfortunes and illnesses to
occur. This is the same for individuals as well as for mankind.
Ever since the Law of the Universe has been enacted, it
has never derailed from her fundamental principles nor altered
in anyway. As long as man restricts himself to the confines
of his astral and physical habits by closing himself off to the
flow of light, he is merely circling the confines of an insignificant
world. This practice will, in time, lead man to deviate
59
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
from the functions of the Law of the Universe. At the moment
we completely deviate from this Law of the Universe, world
mankind will be destroyed and it will be the end of the world.
We have Deviated from the Universal Law
In this world, we find persistent capitalists, socialists and communists.
Each camp insists upon the authority of their policies
and continue to bicker with each other. This situation is extremely
foolish and only amounts to bickering within the
spheres headed for destruction. Not knowing what they are
doing, they are all operating against the Law of the Universe
and insist upon the truthfulness of their policies over the others.
It is much like a train which is running on the wrong track and
seems extremely dangerous.
Some have come to dislike the past life habits of individuals
and mankind and try to free themselves from these habits. In
trying to do so, some become mystics in this life by radically
rebelling against the materialistic world as a result of being
materialists in past lives. Some become more extreme materialists
due to their dislike for mysticism in their past lives. Furthermore,
there are many cases where those who were opposed to
capitalism and a sovereign state system have become socialists
and communists instead.
Although these people may appear to have overcome their
past habits, their attempts only amount to the circling of karma
within their narrow framework which have deviated from the
Law of the Universe; they have simply shifted from left to
right and right to left within this insignificant framework.
Unless these people, who try to throw light on the truth of
the old ways and new practices, join the flow of the Law of the
Universe completely, they cannot tune into the immeasurable
6o
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW WORLD
functions of the mind of God. The minds of physical men
which have wandered from God only nestle insignificant intellectual
resources, ridiculous to even mention.
Remove your thoughts from the world of physical man
completely and let’s take a look at the universe. Consider how
massive the universe of the galaxy is alone. These universes outstretch
endlessly and are all moving under the orderly Law of
the Universe. In imagining the Creator who is in command of
these functions, we are amazed by the tremendous wisdom and
admirable powers He must possess. Imagining this fact alone,
we cannot help but bow our heads in admiration toward our
Creator.
Our Creator has been aware that world mankind would fall
into this state of confusion. Therefore, He has been working to
provide for Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities to fit the
needs of each period and has provided for the assistance of various
saints to deliver mankind. At present, He is working as the
Great Light of Salvation which is a cooperative body of Guardian
Divine Spirits and is radiating light to physical mankind
from a close proximity.
What is the Law of the Universe ?
We cannot possibly remodel this Law of the Universe. If we
were to remodel it, the order of the universe would crumble
in chaos. Therefore, world mankind will perish unless we conduct
our lives in a way that aligns with the flow of the universe.
However, the karmic waves of mankind which have accumulated
till now are too numerous that we are not able to elevate
and purify our minds to align with the waves of the Universal
Laws.
If we were to mention a single term as an example to co-
6r
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
incide with the Law of the Universe, it would have to be Absolute
Harmony. Without Absolute Harmony, we cannot align
ourselves with the waves of the Law of the Universe. Do you
believe that capitalists and communists are exchanging waves
of an absolute harmonious mind? I must reply with a definite
no. Are Japanese, American and Chinese politicians radiating
waves of an absolute harmonious mind and do they love others
as they love themselves? I cannot help but strongly reply to the
contrary.
Such being the case, what kind of people are radiating waves
of Absolute Harmony? Could they be scientists or men of religion?
It is needless to mention here that it is the task of religious
men to put forth waves of an absolute harmonious mind.
The bishop in the book, Les Miserables, warmly welcomed
and gave shelter to the criminal, Jean Valjean, who had been
continually refused by others from food and shelter. Contrary
indeed to his feelings of thankfulness, the criminal tried to steal
a silver candelabrum which the bishop presented to him in the
end. Is it possible to free criminals from the ropes that bind
them in this way?
In Japan, there was once a monk called Osho Hakuin who
was blamed to have been involved in the birth of a child. In
actuality, he had no part whatsoever in this blame, however, he
accepted the child which was forced on him along with some
terrible abuse. Although he was forced out of the temple, he
raised the child with composure. Is it possible for us to flow
along with such natural course of events and become free in
mind? Among present day religious men, it seems that there
are only but a few who have attained this state of being.
Men of religion should constantly be in this state of mind,
however, they are concerned with protecting their individual
62
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW WORLD
positions and interests; they create enemies, become affiliated
with political parties and condemn other religions. Therefore,
at present, we cannot help being called a world of complete
degeneration.
The mere vocalization of words and preaching of the truth
through writings are not enough for this present age. This is so
because various karmic thoughts have been surfacing and is
trying to lead world mankind to destruction. We are facing
a crucial period in which these words of truth must be put into
practice at the same time. These words of truth focus on the
principles of Absolute Harmony, the Great Harmony of the
world. No matter how skillful one is with words or writings
or owns social enterprises and establishments, if they deviate
from the principles of this truth, they cannot step into the flow
of the Law of the Universe.
An Easy Method in which to Step into the Flow of the
Universe
However, a place has been discovered in which those who cannot
step into the flow of the Universal Law by their own
physical powers can easily do so. This place exists within the
Prayer for World Peace. If we truthfully peer into the minds
of men, we can hardly spot owners of an absolute harmonious
mind. Even if there are ten or even one hundred people with
such minds, it does not mean that with these figures alone,
mankind will be able to abide by the Law of the Universe and
make heaven on earth a reality. Hereupon, the Great Light of
Salvation, the concentration of the Great Light of deliverance
coming from Guardian Divine Deities, becomes an absolute
necessity. We cannot remodel this Law of the Universe to fit
us, but if we are backed by the powers of our Guardian Divine
63
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Spirits, world mankind will be guided into the flow of the
Law.
At present, world mankind cannot be looked upon as merely
an independent world any longer. She has become a world
mankind endowed with a great task as one of the members of
the universe. Even so, we are still concerned with such trifling
issues dealing with the Soviet Union and China. Communism
and capitalism are all vanishing images. Even if they use their
powers to subdue the other, it only amounts to hurting each
other and does not prove to be of any advantages to mankind
nor will it save anyone. To be involved in such thought struggles
is extremely foolish. However, this is also a vanishing image
of a single thought wave and it must appear in order to vanish
away.
Therefore, those of us who pray for world peace regard such
negative thoughts aimed at other countries, be it the Soviet
Union, China or the United States, as well as various other
thoughts which have wandered from the mind of God as being
shadows which are simply passing over the world; they are
mere vanishing images. We must quickly cast away our old
habitual shells. The habits of having to subdue others in order
to push forth the ideals of one’s individual country belongs to
world mankind of the past. It does not belong to the new ideals
or habits of world mankind from this point on.
To Unite Our Thoughts under One Purpose
What should we do in order to correct our past habits of attaching
ourselves to our karmic thoughts which are vanishing
images? We can begin by concentrating our thoughts toward
one purpose. What in the world is this sole purpose? It is to
attain a mind of Absolute Harmony and wish for world peace.
64
TO CONSTRUAC TN EWW ORLD
These two frame of minds are most necessary in order to step
into the flow of the Law of the Universe. We cannot attain
this mind if we continue to use the Jiriki method (selfpowered)
of solely relying on our own powers alone instead of
leaving everything up to the powers of God. This is a method
which has been frequently used up to the present. If we could
have attained this elevated mind through such Jiriki (selfpowered)
methods of self-reliance alone, many should have
already reached this state of Absolute Harmony.
Great God has been aware of this downfall from the beginning
and so has created an assemblage of Guardian Divine Spirits
under one roof. They are functioning as the Great Light of
Salvation and is trying to save mankind from crisis. This function
will succeed without fail for God is Absolute Wisdom and
Absolute Authority and there is no being outside of God.
I dislike the usage of “devil” which has existed from the olden
days. God is the only Absolute Being and everything lives
within the mind of God. There is no way such a thing called
the devil can exist, something which is detached from God.
It only appears to be the devil but they are merely images
of karmic thoughts, put forth by world mankind themselves,
which have been expelled by the light and are about to vanish
away. It is not the devil in reality which exists in opposition
to God.
Whatever kind of person we may be, all of us have undesirable
qualities which are vanishing images. Therefore, if we refrain
from continuing to hold on to these thought functions, we will
become the image of ME (read hito), the original child of
God.
In actuality, men are hito ,-aa-,l(La place where the spirit
resides). They are the workplace for Rei (meaning spirit) and
65
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
God. However, they have come to mingle with the animalistic,
materialisticp, hysicalv ibrations of the material world of earth.
It seems that the characters currently used for man, A lA,
meaning in between IA man A, came from the idea that men
Ari,1 are in-between the original hito ~~~E (a place where the
spirit resides) and the materialistic and animalistic vibrations.
Words are interesting as they always seem to express their
inborn nature. This is so with English words as well. The words
God and good are very similar and bear some resemblance in
meaning. This is generally the case with words.
Therefore, by looking at words, we can clearly understand
its nature. Leaving this point aside, if man continues to live as
they are now, while being attached to the vibrations of their
karmic thoughts, it will much resemble a state of being defeated
by the so-called devil (karmic thoughts).
Therefore leaving these animalistic, materialistic qualities as
they are, man must restore themselves back to the original man
2ih (a place where the spirit resides). However, we cannot
possibly accomplish this alone. Therefore, in order to restore
ourselves back to our original image, we must rely on the
powers of our Guardian Divine Spirits whose mission is to
assist us in this endeavor. People up till now have not been very
well aware of this fact.
It is Impossible for Individuals and Mankind to Realize
Perfection Without the Help of Guardian Divine Spirits
To say the truth, the missions of men in realizing world peace
will be fulfilled only if preceded by the union between our
Guardian Divine Spirits and divided spirits of God (man). The
perfectiono f individualsa nd mankind is an impossibilityw ithout
keeping our Guardian Divine Spirits in mind.
66
TO CONSTRUAC TN EWW ORLD
When the assemblage of Guardian Divine Spirits started to
function in unison as the Great Light of Salvation, their great
work in delivering mankind was able to unfold on a full-scale
for the first time.
The Prayer for World Peace, which I teach, is a practice in
which all of us can participate in this work of delivering mankind.
The Prayer for World Peace is completely enveloped by
the Great Light and this reality is commonly discusseda mong
those who practice the prayer.
God and man are separate entities; man is God’s servant;
there is only one God and no assembly of gods. We must
cast away such erroneous misconceptions. God functions as
Chokurei (direct spirits divided from God) and as Bunrei
(divided spirits from Chokurei) within man, and as Guardian
Deities and Guardian Spirits from the exterior of man. All are
the unified operations of God. Unless we conduct all things
with the above conceptions in mind, we will interfere with the
great work of Great Light of Salvation.
Therefore, put yourselves at first in the position of physical
man and a common mortal, and establish the thought that
physical man, the “ego”, cannot do anything straightforward
on its own. Entrust everything to the Great Light of Salvation
through the Prayer for World Peace. This is the easiestp ath to
perfection for individuals and mankind.
We must take the various bad, habitual karmic thoughts of
ours and change them into the daily lifestyle based wholeheartedly
on the Prayer for World Peace. In this way, it is
certain that the establishment of a new world for the individual
will take place and a new path leading to the great peace of
world mankind will also be unfolded. This is so because world
peace means Absolute Harmony and Absolute Harmony is the
67
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
mind of God itself. We can say that the Prayer for World
Peace is the mind of God itself and that the mind of God will
naturally answer to the Prayer for World Peace. Since individuals
represent cells of a larger body called mankind, it is natural
for individual inner peace and world peace on a global scale to
be realized at the same time.
Powers of Light Radiated Through the Practice of Prayer
Some groups of people may insist that such a soiled world cannot
possibly attain peace. However, peace will never come
to those who think that there will never be peace. As in the
words of Christ, “Believe and it shall be revealed unto you”,
it is a fact that those who disbelieve cannot achieve their goals.
However, if this means that nothing can be achieved unless we
think and believe, since the majority of the world exhibit
uncertainties over the attainment of world peace, based on these
conceptions we would have to reason that world peace will
not be realized. If this is the case, the birth of the Prayer
for World Peace, which was especially labored over, will be
meaningless.
Fortunately, however, these thoughts of uncertainties are also
vanishing images; they are karmic thoughts. Through the Great
Light possessed by the Prayer for World Peace, these karmic
thoughts will be extinguished. This point is truly important.
Contrary to religions up to the present, that taught that
disbelievers will be cast down by God, the Prayer for World
Peace functions as the Great Light of Salvation to purify and
save even those who disbelieve.
People are not forced to enter, nor are they threatened to
become members of this prayer movement. All are participating
in this prayer movement out of their individual free will.
68
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW WORLD
Those who participate in this prayer can cultivate their own
destinies while at the same time radiate the light of salvation
to others.
Old Habitual Qualities are Purified
From the moment one throws himself into the Great Light of
Salvation, he will continue to perform the task of a Bodhisattva
in delivering mankind. Among those who have started to recite
the Prayer for World Peace, there are people who have committed
numerous deeds of evil in the past. However, all these
past faults will be purified by the Great Light of Salvation.
There are people who reveal their habitual bad karmic
thoughts from the past even while practicing the Prayer for
World Peace. However, these karmic thoughts are not the result
of their present deeds and should be treated as the vanishing
image of their past karma; they should proceed to forgive
each other. Furthermore, they should love each other and forgive
each other and steadily construct a world of love and
truth.
The movement of the Prayer for World Peace is one in
which individual salvation and world peace is accomplished at
the same time. Therefore, not the slightest disharmony or
imperfection can be seen within the movement. In case we
spot something unharmonious or imperfect with each other,
we should regard them as vanishing images with a prayerful
mind. Furthermore, it is important to continue to pray all the
more for the fulfillment of the other person’s missions and to
continue the Prayer for World Peace.
Physical man is not perfect; we should not hold on to these
imperfect qualities of physical man indefinitely. Together with
other numerous karmic thoughts, these imperfect qualities of
69
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
physical man should be repeatedly and completely submerged
into the Prayer for World Peace over and over again.
God is the eternal Great Light. Karma is a vanishing image.
Man should continue to work in order to manifest the original
nature of hito 2E (a place where the spirit resides) which is
to be children of God. This is the mission which has been
endowed to all of world mankind. I cannot help but continue
praying so that the missions of each individual will be
fulfilled one day sooner.
70
COSMIC BEINGS AND THE PRAYER
FOR WORLD PEACE
The Fears and Agonies of World Mankind
The military competition for expansion between the United
States and the Soviet Union has magnified into a universal scale.
At first, the Soviet Union was successful in sending a man off
in their satellite. Not to fall behind, however, the United States
also succeeded in the launching of a human satellite and has
caught up with the military expansion of the Soviet Union.
If the enthusiasm of both countries over these human satellites
have been brought about through the wish for establishing
true peace, it is of no major alarm and all of mankind would
have rejoiced. Unfortunately, however, the real intentions of
both countries are not for the true establishment of peace; it is
for the display of power and for the purpose of increasing war
potentials. We must say that this is truly unfortunate for
world mankind.
There is no way world peace will be realized through the
competition of military powers; everyone should be aware of
this for we have been repeating these failures since the olden
days. Being driven by the waves of their habitual karmic
thoughts, the United States and the Soviet Union are conducting
all their political plans. In such a situation where one military
power is against the other, the crisis of war cannot be avoided.
71
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Not being able to divert themselves from this karmic whirlpool,
they have reached the present state of military deployment
being fully aware of the crisis of war.
Even if the Soviet Union’s ambition of gaining supremacy
over the world is quite evident, if the United States chooses to
take up deadly weapons in opposition to this, with an antagonistic
attitude, it will become difficult to avoid nuclear war.
Herein lies the agony of the United States and the Western
power blocs. Even if they choose to throw all weapons aside
in facing the Soviet Union, it is questionable whether the
Soviet Union will likewise discard their weapons to cooperate.
If, on the contrary, the power blocs of the United States and
the West attempt to join hands with the Soviet Union by
discarding their weapons first, and in the case that the Soviet
Union continues to hold on to their weapons, world supremacy
by the Soviet Union will immediately be established. This will
mean that the world will be completely seized by communistic
political powers.
In imagining this fear, it becomes difficult for even those
Americans who are peace seekers and not communists, to cry
out for the disarmament of America. It seems that there was
at one time, a concentration of feeling among some Americans
of boldly resigning themselves to war rather than submitting
their country to communists.
Communism is atheism. Just the thought of imagining the
political powers of the world being seized under the guidance
of those who shun God brings forth fear not only among
Americans but also to those in the world with religious minds.
Therefore, even a pure peace movement like that of the MRA*
* Moral Re-Armament
72
COSMIC BEINGS AND THE PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
treats communism as an enemy and has unconditionally set up
a definite front.
Even while knowing the foolishness of rivaling over military
supremacy, the decision to disarm cannot be reached; this
seems to express the opinions of some peace seekers within the
United States and the West at present.
How Will Peace Be Realized?
Hereon, world mankind cannot help but seriously ponder
upon ways in which world peace can be brought about. The
powers of the world are presently being held by both the
United States and the Soviet Union. Nothing can be achieved
by ignoring the authorities of these two countries. This is the
actual circumstance as it stands at present.
Moreover, the United States and the Soviet Union are
keeping a watchful eye on each other while expanding their
military arms. It is probably that through some insignificant
stimulus, the atomic bomb of the Soviet Union may be dropped
throughout the world. The predicament of mankind is as delicate
as a flame flickering in the wind.
Whether one arms or disarms, if the destiny of world mankind
remains at the present state, it is much like being trapped
in the darkness of night. What can be done to improve the
destiny of mankind? We must decipher here what caused world
mankind to be placed within the boundaries of such an unfortunate
state as it exists in now. We must work on this aspect
first. Unless the cause is known, we cannot begin to think of
ways to rectify them.
As we look back in time, we can spot segments within the
history of mankind that reveal her belligerency. However,
73
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
there are many situations in which the developments of science,
which were carried out in hopes to reach the goal of military
armament, have proven to be useful toward the destiny of
mankind instead. Nevertheless unless the advancement of science
is carried out from a standpoint of being completely detached
from war, the peace of mankind will not be brought
about. This detachment is impossible unless the fundamental erroneous
thoughts of mankind are corrected. It seems reasonable
to say that the attainment of world peace is impossible unless
the United States casts aside her weapons first before the Soviet
Union. However, given the present situation, this is difficult
unless the fundamental erroneous thoughts of mankind are corrected.
Where in the world nestled the erroneous thoughts of mankind?
At first, the greatest error can be found in the perception
that man exists independently from God. The fact is that man
lives and exists within the mind of God. The misfortunes of
mankind began when this most fundamental aspect had been
forgotten. We are still following this pattern to a point where
we have been driven to the brink of the destruction of mankind.
God is all of everything. Without God, mankind will not
exist. Those who think that the “self” exists independently
from God will disintegrate their own existence in equal proportion
to the magnitude of such thoughts. If ever communism
comes to dominate the world, at that moment, world mankind
will disintegrate. There is no place in this universe for those
who have separated themselves from the mind of God.
We cannot forget that man’s life comes from God. As long
as God’s life exists within man, he can continue to live. However,
when God confiscates life, the existence of man becomes
null. Then the question of why there are so many atheists in
74
COSMIC BEINGS AND THE PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
the world today may come to mind. The answer is the fact
that among many types of people who exist in this world,
there are no true atheists. God exists wherever there is life. To
be alive means that God is alive within us (this is not limited to
the life of the physical body). God is life itself and life is God
Himself.
Why do men, who live at the mercy of God’s life, perform
selfish acts which separate themselves from God? It is due to the
habitual thoughts from past ages. In other words, it is because
of the influence exerted by the waves of karma.
We Must Liberate Man from Karma
In order to save individuals and mankind, before insisting on
the issue of disarmament, we must concentrate wholeheartedly
on releasing mankind from the waves of karma which is the
greatest source of evil. No matter how prominent a politician
may be, world wars cannot be evaded as long as we are
trapped within the waves of karma. Even those prominent
Christians like Eisenhower and Kennedy were helplesslya gonized
by the destiny of the world which headed itself toward
the direction of war.
Unless the waves of karmic thoughts which surround this
world, the thoughts of darkness which exist apart from God
(light), completely melt away by the light of God one day
sooner, mankind will not attain peace no matter what kind of
political policies take hold.
Now then, who will initiate this purification movement?
Will it be the president of the United States or the Prime
Minister of the Soviet Union? This is highly improbable. It
will have to be executed by the individual efforts of those
who have faith in God.
75
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
In order to prevent the destruction of world mankind and
the outbreak of World War III, each individual must participate
in the movement to pray for world peace which works to
disintegrate karmic thought waves and send forth the light of
God to the world. If we hesitate to participate, we will be
destroyed along with the world.
Political policies at present, are already being conducted
through the ruins caused by karmic waves. We can say that
the new world will be unfolded through the concentration of
prayer coming from each individual.
Pillar of light which accompanies the Prayer for World
Peace is solemnly emitting light toward the world at present.
Each individual enters into the Great Light through the Prayer
for World Peace and becomes an apostle of the light himself
and emits the light of peace toward his environment.
We are facing an age where the politics of the world must
be carried out by each individual. The Prayer for World Peace
recited by each individual will become the great power in
realizing peace.
The Prayer for World Peace
Unites in vibration with the mind of God
Oh, what joy it is to pray.
When the people of each country enter into the mind of God
with words of prayer, it means that the light of God will radiate
toward world mankind through the vessels of each individual.
Please consider this point closely. Given our present situation,
no matter how hard individuals try to comment on the political
policies of the world, it does not seem probable that the antagonism
between the United States, the Soviet Union and
76
COSMIC BEINGS AND THE PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
China will be resolved, as they are ideologically and fundamentally
different. Unless the antagonisms between these three
countries are resolved, the destruction of the world becomes
a matter of time.
Therefore, it becomes clear that no matter how hard one
thinks and acts, if things are based on the intelligence of
physical man, this world will be ruined.
Hereupon we must courageously cast aside the incomplete
powers of physical man. We should cast them aside into the
pillar of light which establishes world peace. There are no other
methods than this.
It goes without saying that the mind of God is set forth in
establishing the peace of the world, and this goal is also the
greatest wish for mankind as well. Therefore, the mind of God
and the wish of mankind unite together with the Prayer for
World Peace acting as the medium. The Prayer for World
Peace is a method in which one is able to disintegrate his karma
with ease while at the same time serves as the movement of
light to bring about peace to the world. The Prayer for World
Peace is a prayer born in this day and age out of absolute unconditioned
necessity.
Without Reaching the State of Emptiness It is Impossible
to Exchange with Cosmic Beings
For some time now, our exchanges with cosmic beings, which
I have been mentioning off and on, have been progressing
rapidly. Without sleep or rest, we have been participating in
this exchange. Finally our Prayer for World Peace which enables
cosmic beings to assist the earthly world, has advanced
concretely to a point where it has allowed for the establishment
of the foundation of light vibrations.
77
THEF UTUREO F MANKIND
Recently, Mr. Masao Murata, a fellow prayer member, has
written about exchanges with cosmic beings in a book titled
UFO and Supra-sceince. The day is approaching when these
cosmic beings will reveal themselves on earth by our sides. It
is impossible for earthly beings to establish peace by their efforts
alone. That is why God has taught me this Prayer for World
Peace and expressed that through these words of prayer the
power of God will clearly manifest for the purpose of establishing
peace on earth.
The peaceful minds of each individual self is of utmost necessity
in realizing world peace. Even if the wish for world peace
is expressed, if it comes from the chaotic minds of individuals,
it is highly improbable. Therefore, it is useless if those who
wish for peace are making enemies and observe the world in
a relativistic way.
The world of cosmic beings consists of truly delicate vibrations;
it is a world of peace and light itself. When we are having
an exchange with cosmic beings, it is most important that
there are no chaotic thoughts. At every chance during our exchanges,
cosmic beings repeatedly insist that we remain in a
state of “emptiness”. If there are any thoughts present, even in
the slightest way, it becomes difficult to conduct an exchange.
Therefore, I don’t think it possible for those who playfully
announce their activities to be able to have a just exchange with
cosmic beings. Cosmic beings are trying to exchange with the
earth so that they may become helpers in bringing about peace
to world mankind.
There is no need in the least for cosmic beings to appear in
front of those with inquisitive curiosities; a serious attitude
from the human side becomes of necessity. The mind of “emptiness”
is also the most important state of mind in the religious
78
COSMICB EINGSA NDT HE PRAYEFRO RW ORLDP EACE
sense. In Buddhism, it is of the greatest feat to reach this state
of mind.
Fortunately, since I have been put through the discipline of
ceasing all thoughts for quite a while, I can remain in a state
voided of all thoughts. So it is that I can unite with the waves
of the mind of cosmic beings without any trouble. However,
as things stand now, the exchange with cosmic beings for the
ordinary man seems a most difficult task to accomplish.
Without the Assistance of Cosmic Beings the Earthly
World will Not Be Saved
In conducting an exchange with cosmic beings, it becomes
necessary for the vibrations of the individual to undergo some
adjustments. It is a grave undertaking as the exchange cannot
be brought about unless we unite with the delicate vibrations
of the cosmic beings.
The task of delivering world mankind from its present crisis
must be brought about at any cost through the cooperative
efforts of cosmic beings and people on earth who have been
awakened. For quite a while now, we have been praying the
Prayer for World Peace waiting for this day to come.
All karmic thoughts are vanishing images. The only aspect
which does not vanish forever is the essence of man, which is
the child of God and light itself. Such is our steadfast belief.
The teaching of the vanishing phenomena and the Prayer for
World Peace was born as an addition to this belief. No matter
what kind of unhappiness, misfortunes, grudges, anger, jealousy
or anxiety they may be, all such thoughts coming from oneself
and others should be regarded as vanishing images and be
thrown into the Prayer for World Peace. Then we are to be
granted with a new life from the vibrations of Great Light
79
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
radiated by the Prayer for World Peace. Without any other
changes, such a way of life which aims wholeheartedly in the
direction of light, will go on to deliver and enlighten man.
However, by the time it takes for this teaching to spread
throughout the world, mankind may already be in ruins.
Whatever the means, we must use the great energy force of
peace to disintegrate the karmic vibrations at once which is
trying to direct the world toward war. Who in this world,
is able to change our present world situation in a matter of
seconds? That which is impossible for all should immediately
be recognized by everyone.
We can clearly state now that nothing can be achieved without
the power of God; the activities stemming from the vibrations
of Great Light coming from God.
The vibrations of Great Light coming from God is working
through the Prayer for World Peace and through the physical
bodies of each individual, trying to disintegrate the karmic
vibrations of the world. Moreover, on the other hand, this has
led to the assistance of cosmic beings toward earth and has
developed into a full-scale influence.
There were many in the past who have indicated that they
are deeply impressed by my discussions on world peace but feel
that topics dealing with cosmic beings seem to add a negative
aspect to my teachings. However, what I have mentioned about
cosmic beings are becoming a reality and it is my heartfelt belief
that world mankind will never be saved without the assistance
of cosmic beings. Therefore, we will receive more and more
information pertaining to cosmic beings in the future.
The Great Importance of the Prayer for World Peace
When talking about religious matters, many feel that it only
8o
COSMIC BEINGS AND THE PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
deals with the problems of the mind, which are separate from
those of worldly problems. However, the religious way of life
means to live in a respectable way in this world, the next world
and in all worlds, so we cannot neglect the attainment of world
peace in any way.
When those who have put into practice my teachings based
on the Prayer for World Peace pass on from this world, they
can live respectfully in the next world. Therefore there is no
need to be attached to this world for we will live calmly in the
world of spirits even if we were to be destroyed by an atomic
bomb in this world. However, as long as we live in this world,
we must concentrate our efforts toward peace and do our
utmost in working toward this movement of peace. By following
this path, we will be able to accomplish our missions.
The Prayer for World Peace will grow in importance and
in order to save world mankind, every effort should be taken.
As we concentrate on the topic of cosmic beings, it becomes
clear that the greatness of cosmic beings is beyond human conception;
their scientific and spiritual powers are immeasurable.
As understood by the book on UFOs by Mr. Murata, while
earthly man is overjoyed by the success of their satellites, in the
world of cosmic beings, they are able to transport from Venus
to Earth in a matter of seconds. We can realistically envision
the considerable scientific powers of cosmic beings.
When the people of this world think of cosmic beings, some
feel that they are completely a fiction of one’s imagination;
some picture beings with big heads and small bodies or envision
an awkward creature. All of these are misconceptions for cosmic
beings can be described as being the split image of God himself.
Cosmic beings exist at the level of Guardian Deities. As we
continue to exchange with cosmic beings, it becomes clear how
8i
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
the state of each individual greatly determine the destinies of
mankind. In truth, our thoughts determine our destinies. Man
is made up from the rhythm of God’s light and from vibrations
of thoughts. As long as one’s thought vibrations unite as one
with the rhythm of God’s light, his destiny is one of excellence
and respect. However, for the most part, the thoughts of the
people in this world are separate from the rhythm of God’s
light. It is common for man to be living within the confines of
his karmic thoughts of selfishness. If this is the case, there is
no chance that the destiny of world mankind will be improved.
I understood the above to be true so I disciplined myself to
throw my karmic thoughts and all things into the light of God .
Then, when I succeeded in this endeavor, I established my path
as a man of religion.
The Reaffirmation of Ki Energies
While engaging in an exchange, cosmic beings would address
participating members saying that Master Goi is “emptiness”
itself; he is completely empty; he is equal to our delicate vibrations.
Prior to then, however, I had already been given the name
“Ulti
mate Emptiness” by Divine Deities. This peace movement
would never come about if I, who is to work as the central
figure in establishing world peace, were to be possessed by
any karmic thoughts of hindrance to peace. Instead of unfolding
a “path” to people through the use of words, I have up till this
day been taking a method of using my whole being in order
to shed light to people.
We have reached a point where simple sermons only arouse
deep enthusiasm at that given moment but hardly function to
purify the spirits of the people. Therefore, I place my greatest
emphasis on transmitting great light vibrations, while remain-
82
COSMICB EINGSA ND THEP RAYEFRO RW ORLDP EACE
ing silent, to purify the spirits of the people. Prayer meetings
exhibit the best example of this.
Vibrations are very mysterious indeed for they can be transmitted
to people without the use of any words. It may commonly
be referred to as being the atmospheric air. Great light
vibrations which is transmitted by myself is very strong and
can reach close to a thousand people at one time.
Before engaging in an exchange with cosmic beings, the entire
room begins to overflow with spiritual Ki energies. This spiritual
Ki energy is so powerful that even those who are not spiritually
inclined are able to sense it. However, as we become
attuned to this Ki energy, our vibrations begin to near the
vibrations of cosmic beings and we no longer begin to especially
sense the strong differences in Ki energy.
From olden times, the subject of Ki energy has been treated
with great importance. As exchanges with cosmic beings started
to initially take place, I was once again freshly reminded of its
importance. Since I had undergone spiritual training for quite
a while, I was able to reach the state of “emptiness” at once.
However, I deeply feel that it is important for those who are
not easily able to reach the state of “emptiness” to enter into
the Prayer for World Peace and transform yourselves into the
Ki energy of peace itself.
Immerse Yourself into the Prayer for World Peace
Due to the active exchange with cosmic beings, we have become
firmly convinced that, even while one is awake or asleep,
by leading a life based on the Prayer for World Peace, one’s life
will be elevated and we will, at the same time, be contributing
toward the establishment of world peace.
When considering cosmic beings, it seems that it was just
83
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
recently that they have made their presence felt. In actuality,
however, they have had interest in world mankind from ancient
times. It was they who descended from heaven to purify
this world at the onset of the creation of this earthly world. The
spiritual inhabitants of ancient Japan, who appear in the ancient
chronicles of Nihon Kojiki, as well as Jesus and Buddha, were
all descendantso f cosmicb eings; they were all angels (heaven’s
helpers) who were assigned the duties of assisting in the
establishment of world mankind.
From the cosmic beings’ point of view, unless peace is
established on earth, the harmony of the entire universe will
not be realized. Because of this, they must at any cost assist in
creating a peaceful world.
Those who dislike the term “cosmic beings” may refer to
them as the assemblageo f Guardian Angels. We, who are the
apostles of the Prayer for World Peace, must regard the mind
of God as being our own mind, conduct ourselves according
to the teachings set down in the creed, “How man should
reveal his inner Self”* and live wholeheartedly with the Prayer
for World Peace.
I feel that, more than ever, we must seriously conduct a life
in which all of our karmic thoughts are thrown into the Prayer
for World Peace. The destiny of world mankind is our own
destiny. Each and everyone of us must seriously pray for the
peace of the world and not risk the foolishness of having to
burden only the leaders of this world with this responsibility.
Let us continue to pray the Prayer for World Peace at all
times. Cosmic beings are firmly lending us a helping hand.

ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
A Physician’s Query
Recently, there was an article in the evening paper on a medical
doctor who was teaching at a certain medical college. In short,
it stated as follows:
The job of medical doctors is to cure the illness and to
sustain the life of sick people. So we take every possible
measure in order to do so. However, I always run into
the question of whether things are justified the way they
are. For example, in the case of gangrene when death
will result if left untreated, doctors will amputate the leg
or arm to save that person’s life. When cancer is found
in the pelvis, they amputate from the pelvis down and
sustain life by successfully supporting the internal organs
of the upper body by some means. These people continue
to live on while being in such conditions. I actually carry
out and observe these conditions and wonder whether man
must live even while resorting to such means. I think that
these issues enter the area of religion and I wish for men
of religion to solve these problems.
I was asked what I think about the words of such medical
doctors and to explain the essence of life in relation to it. This
85
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
question was posed to me by a reader of this article so I would
like to try to answer it.
The fundamental shortcoming which is the initial within
the thoughts of world mankind at present is the notion that
human life exists within the physical body alone and is the
physical body itself. Therefore, mankind believes that the death
of the physical body means the death of life.
As long as there is such fundamental misunderstanding toward
life, sufferings from illness, poverty and death will not
vanish away. As this doctor experienced, difficult problems of
physicians will be confronted as a result.
Although current medical science treats the symptoms of the
illness of the physical body, it has not developed into a science
of treating the flow and movement of life probably because the
time has not been ripe yet.
However, illness in all respects begins when the flow and
movement of life become obstructed. The function of life itself
in trying to remove these obstruction appear, in other words,
as symptoms. I explain these symptoms using the words “vanishing
image”, however, we can try to cure the illness before
these symptoms appear. In other words, we can remove the
obstacles which hinder the functions of life before it appears
as the symptoms of illness. If we can do this, the ruthless state
in which man must continue to live in this world, as presented
in the forementioned issue, will vanish away.
Medical science of the future will not be the sort of preventive
medical science as that of the present. It must be one which is
conducted with a much deeper recognition of the essence of
life itself. There is no doubt that medical science will eventually
reach this point. However, at the present stage, there are too
many unknown facts. Therefore, it will have to advance within
86
ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
the limits of current preventive medical science; take the path
of mental science with its method of psychoanalysis; or rely
on the techniques of surgery. The research of the essence of life
in this respect will be carried on only by removing the conditions
of the disease.
All life is of an eternal nature. The physical body is but one
manifestation of life. Unless this truth is known, I think the
value of physicians who sustain the life of others is minimal
indeed. I feel that all doctors must study and treat patients with
a religious mind as the foundation.
The Research of Eternal Life
In order to realize the oneness of God and man, religion is
something which is pursued while, first of all, believing in the
existence of God. If we exchange the term God with eternal
life and set out to research eternal life (the oneness of eternal
life and man), such research will enter the field of science.
Therefore, we can say that religion and science exist upon the
same base.
In the first place, the mind of medical doctors, who have
great respect for the essence of life, exhibit the spirit of religion
in all honesty. This is so because life itself is something which
comes from God; to have great respect for the essence of life
is to have great respect for God. Therefore, there are quite a
few modest religious men among medical doctors.
In general, the mind of wishing to cure the illnesseso f others
and wanting to participate in the work of saving people from
suffering already exhibit the spirit of religion. If there are those
who participate in medical science with such a spirit, they are
religious men even if they fail to utter the word “God”.
I think that the medical doctor who posed the forementioned
87
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
issue is an extremely religious and conscientious man. Even
those who feel that they themselves do not necessarily possess
any interest in religion often times reveal themselves to be
unexpectedly religious, while those who talk repeatedly of
religion surprisingly lack the spirit of religion, namely the spirit
of love. The true minds of people cannot be deciphered simply
by their words or appearances.
There are many instances when one’s lip service about God or
Buddha does not accord with the spirit of religion. We cannot
necessarily say that those who belong to a religious group are
those of a deep religious spirit. This is because they do not
possess the awareness of heightening themselves to realize the
oneness between religion or God and the essence of life, namely
the eternal life. Furthermore, it is because there are quite a few
situations in which people join religious groups and worship
God only while thinking in connection of worldly merits for
themselves and their kin.
By men of religion, we mean those who practice to purify
themselves while setting the goal of reaching oneness with God
and those who attempt to realize the essence of life and their
inner selves. There are quite a few who research the truth in
this way even among those who are absolutely absorbed in
the responsibilities of the mundane world.
My Answer to This Question
Here, I would like to give my thoughts on the foregoing question
posed by the medical doctor.
My thoughts are based on the principle that man is a divided
life form of God nestled with the properties of eternal life;
that this eternal life has functioned to construct a variety of
shapes and forms within each worldly realm where man plays
88
ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
his individual drama. Eventually every divided life form will
portray the Great Life and Great Harmony in this world,
which is the true image of the mind of God. However, while
in the process of portraying the image of Great Harmony, various
types of filths and stains will surface. In removing these
filths and stains (the vanishing image), a sense of pain will be
felt. However, in terms of eternal life these pains are simply
vanishing images and will not negatively effect life itself in
any way. Man can either place his thoughts within the karmic
thought waves of these vanishing images or place his thoughts
within life itself which functions to fade away these vanishing
images. I think that the destiny of man will begin to change
depending on which side he chooses to place his thoughts.
While some are saved by surgery, there are people who
become handicapped and must live while exposing their misery
to the eyes of others. There are also people who cannot be
operated on as they are beyond medical help and die as they
are. There are still others who are operated on but die due to its
ill success. We can say that there are people who tread many
different kinds of destinies. Which of these people are the fortunate
ones? Seen from the physical viewpoint, we must say
that they are all unfortunate for the very fact that they have
become ill and have had to be tormented by these sufferings.
Again, those who come in direct contact and observe the
physical sufferings of these people cannot help but grieve over
these misfortunes. “How life is full of tragedies” are the
thoughts which spring forth among them.
As long as man thinks that his physical body is his only existence,
we will be put to countlessly experience this feeling of
pity toward others. But man is not of the physical body, he is
of eternal life itself. This eternal life appears at the level of the
89
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
physical body, the astral body and the spiritual body in order
to gain experiences of every kind. If we truly recognize this
fact, these notions of pity will vanish away.
In actuality, if many recognize this truth, such images of
misfortunes will cease to appear. However, the present is not
at this stage yet. In order to lessen the misfortunes of this
world, there is no other method at present than to rapidly
improve and develop medical science as well as the other sciences
with a broader framework. If medical science is still at
the stage of prolonging life by amputating defective areas, it
cannot possibly extinguish the miseries of this world.
The methods of medical science aimed at solely suppressing
the ill symptoms are already becoming a practice of the past.
The medical science of the future must be one which removes
the cause of illness and not the ill symptoms. For this purpose,
it becomes necessary to deeply research the essence of life after
all.
Religiously speaking, the realities of living on as a handicapped
after an operation, or facing death due to an operation are
the results of each person’s karmic cause and effect from past
lives. By throwing these sufferings into the mind of prayer as
being the fading image of the cause and effect of past lives, the
thought waves, obstructing the functions of life, in other words,
the obstacles, will be removed.
No matter how the symptomatic areas are operated on, it
does not mean that the obstructions of that person’s life has
been removed. This time, instead of the symptoms of the
illness, the sufferings which occur after the operation will continue
for that person. At present, this situation then must inevitably
be rescued by religion. Based on the deepness or shallowness
of one’s religious mind alone, will the state of a per-
90
ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
son’s suffering differ. When a person reaches a deep frame of
mind with single-hearted prayer alone, the sufferings of the
physical body will completely be removed and that person
will let the radiance of eternal life be known to those even
around him.
Medical Science and the Religious Mind
No matter what ill-natured situations may occur, it is important
for all, while being placed in these situations, to acquire a
religious mind to the extent that we may always be able to
possess the sense of praising God and always be able to reveal
the radiance of life. In the case of physicians who are always
placed between life or death situations, this frame of mind is
especially necessary.
Unless there comes an age when those medical doctors who
lack religious minds are completely done away with, medical
science cannot go about curing diseases from the standpoint
of the fundamental of life.
There was a story in a certain Reader’s Digest magazine about
an English girl who died of leukemia. This girl had an extremely
strong faith and did not reproach God even at the
brink of death. “Mother, I did my best in praying that my
illness will get better. But I just now realized that God is not
trying to cure me. God is calling me.” Saying so, the girl passed
away while envisioning the state of heaven.
It is said that with leukemia the body is in constant pain. In
this case, there were series of anesthetic injections every time
pain would set in so as to ease the pain. In this way, life had
been prolonged but the girl finally passed away. She never lost
her faith in the midst of such pain. If one did not have faith like
this girl, how acute the pain must have been within one’s mind.
91
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
We can say that this girl’s faith saved her immensely from her
pains.
In this way, if the mind of religion and science are absolutely
united, we cannot imagine to what extent we can lessen the
sufferings from illness in this world. It is strange for religious
men to denounce medicine and science but the medical doctors
who make fun of religion are strange as well. Religion and
science are originally the manifestations of the wisdom of God.
Religion and science alike are founded by the mind of love as
its foundation. Intuition is the underlying principal of religion
and intelligence helps this intuition along. For science, intelligence
is the underlying principal and intuition helps this intelligence
along.
Religion brings happiness to the world by concentrating on
the realm of the mind and spirit. Science concentrates on
worldly phenomena to bring happiness to the mind. I have
expressed this point many times and I am doing so here again.
The similarities between religion and science must be captioned.
Both must cooperate together in working toward the
eternal happiness of this world mankind. I think in this way
and am performing as such.
The Value of our Physical Bodies Existing in This World
When placed in the situation as that of the physician in the
foregoing article, it becomes necessary for physicians themselves
to instill the mind of religion to their patients. Given
the present scientific outlook, however, we can find no words
to reach a resolution and if physicians were to speak the truth
of how they feel, it will be taken as an offensive conduct and
probably result in the losing of their footings.
Is there any value for the physical body to exist in this world
92
ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
even to the extent of becoming a handicapped? The people of
this world cannot help but tilt their heads in contemplation.
Besides those who have become handicapped through surgery,
there are those who live with such incurable diseasesa s polio
and caries (tuberculosiso f the spine); there are the aged who
only sleep and become encumbrances to the young; there are
those who show no signs of improvement as they become a
burden on their families through their wrong conducts and
are unwelcomed by the public. Seen from the viewpoint of
physical man alone, there are many in the world who feel that
these people would be better off and at ease if they would
only pass on; and that if they would only pass on, they will
cease to be a burden on anyone else.
Are there any merits even in the lives of such people and is
it better to prolong their lives through science? Based strictly
on the viewpoint of common mortal sense, it seems the general
consensus to think that the sooner they pass on, the better it
is for them in general. It is just that ordinary people do not
express this openly in speech.
From the viewpoint of religion, the purpose of man to live
in this physical world is to gain the experience of one’s life
(spirit) in the individual sense, and to fade away the karmic
cause and effect of past lives. For the sake of mankind, man is
also living in this world to manifest the great harmonious
world of God’s mind upon this world as one realm for the
eternal life.
Therefore, the painful conditions which are reflected upon
our eyes are the vanishing images of the cause and effect of
that person. At the same time, these people are building up the
experiences of life. It is something one’s true self is bringing
about; through gaining these life experiences one can work
93
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
toward manifesting the great harmonious world for mankind.
One’s true self is the mind of God itself. For the individual,
the work of one’s Divine Guardians holds an important role
in the development of one’s true self.
The true self of man is the mind of God itself. When man
comes to inhabit the world of material vibrations, he becomes
assimilated to the vibration of the material world. In order to
become an inhabitant of the physical world, man must, at one
time, adjust the delicate spiritual vibrations of his true self to
the rough vibrations of the material world. Unless this is done,
he cannot survive in this earthly world.
The essential elements of man, his true self, originate in the
world of delicate vibrational waves. When the delicate vibrations
of the true self come to take the form of the physical
body, they must intermingle and atune to the rougher vibrational
levels of the material world. In actuality then, we can
say that our true selves have descended from heaven itself. In
order for the vibrations of both heaven and material which are
present on this earthly level to assimilate and work together
in unison, some passage of time becomes necessary. This waiting
period causes various sufferings to manifest in this world .
In this world there are individual differences of every kind
as there are those whose sufferings are great and those whose
sufferings are minimal. It is all due to the thought vibrations of
each individual from their past lives. Those whose sufferings are
minimal in this world have, in their former lives, experienced
the same type of sufferings as those who are suffering at present.
Perhaps, they have become a person of minimal karmic vibrations
who can, for the first time, lead a life of minimal sufferings
in this world.
However, our Divine Guardians say that both of these suffer-
94
ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
ings, great or minor occur in order to manifest one’s true self
which is the eternal life; they are but trivial sufferings.
Only the Prayer of Love Based on the Mind of Emptiness
is Necessary
I have continuously been coming in contact with many people
who are tormented by various kinds of disharmony such as
sufferings from disease and hardships from poverty. I can say
that I have continuously been experiencing torments even
greater than those experienced by doctors on a daily basis. This
is because patients do not seek after miracles from a doctor but
to a man of religion like myself, they constantly do. Even those
who have been abandoned by doctors think that I can cure
them. There are even those who think that it’s good enough
only to rely on Master Goi alone. There are people who think
that even cancer or lung disease can be instantly cured.
This does not hold true for illnesses alone, for many feel that
poverty, disharmony within the families and business management
problems will all be restored if I pray for them.
Fortunately, miracles have been happening at a high rate.
However, the essence of religion is to attain a frame of mind
free from complaints, grudges and jealousies in all situations no
matter what hardships you may encounter. This is something
we should learn from the story of the young girl previously
mentioned.
At times when people come with their complaints I patiently
listen to the dissatisfactions and sorrows of their minds and become
a mind which is one with God and continue to pray for
the enlightenment of the other person’s true self. Instead of
words of sermon coming from the mouth, it is important to
send vibrations of light to the other person which will vanish
95
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
away their waves of karmic thoughts. The Prayer for World
Peace is the prayer of love and the vibrations of the Great Light.
Only the prayer of love, based on the mind of “emptiness”,
which has the Prayer for World Peace at its foundations is necessary.
“Emptiness” is the mind nil of such thought vibrations
of worrying whether or not “this might happen” or “that
might happen”.
After karmic thoughts have appeared in great surge, the other
person will, on the contrary, be lead toward a deeper religious
mind. When people pass through trying incidents such as the
death of a close friend or bankruptcy, the karmic thoughts of
these people will vanish in equal proportion to their sorrows
which will in turn help to accelerate the enlightenment of their
true self. However, the attitude of the guide who disposes
of their karmic thoughts as they greatly fade away effects the
other person immensely. As a result of being aflicted by misfortunes,
there are incidents where people suddenly lose their
faith or become materialists on the contrary. Of course this is
due to the karmic thoughts of those people but we can also say
that the guidance given from the side of the guide, be they
monks, priests or founders of a religious sect, was not complete.
Since I have also been toiled quite a bit by such hardships,
I can well understand the mind of the medical doctor who
posed the initial issue at the beginning of this chapter. But it
does not suffice to simply understand. I continuously feel that
we must transform this earth into a world which is free from
the reigns of these hardships one day sooner.
God has replied to these wishes of mine and has offered to
give me guidance in the establishment of a science called Cosmionic
Wave Life Physics.
96
ON THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
The Science Borne by the Prayer for World Peace
In actual religion, problems of the mind are strictly of the first
consideration and worldly merits are secondary to this. Religions
which merely seek after worldly merits will inevitably
veer away from the essence of religion and come to conceal
the essence of life.
However, the people of this world place worldly merits above
all as their first consideration. Followers of religions which do
not involve worldly merits are decreasing in number and followers
of religious groups which propagate worldly merits
are increasing. To have worldly merits is fine of course and I
want to give them to those who come to me but if I lead them
to a life which only seeks after worldly merits, the enlightenment
of their true self will be delayed and they will remain in
the whirlpool of karmic thought vibrations, in other words,
the world of desire driven beings. The spirit of great harmony
and love which is the essence of religion will vanish and people
will gain the habit of leading an unharmonious lifestyle based
on self-righteousness and self-centeredness. The selfish life of
disharmony will naturally come to take root within their minds
and bodies for they think that their lifestyle alone is the best
and oppose the ways of others in every respect.
I lament over the lifestyles of such people but just because
I feel that the Prayer for World Peace is great, the intention of
gathering people by propagating that the prayer will bring
worldly merits does not spring forth within my mind. The gaining
of worldly merits are the results of scientific methods
through and through, and I believe instead that the best practice
is to direct people to possess the mind of religion at its foundation;
the notion of being one with God. So it came to be that
the task of accomplishing the work of Cosmionic Wave Life
97
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Physics, which is still incomplete, was granted to those of us
who pray for world peace. Cosmionic Wave Life Physics is a
science which was founded upon the genuine mind of religion,
namely, the Prayer for World Peace. When all evils, misfortunes
and thoughts are plunged into the Prayer for World Peace as
the vanishing image of the karmic cause and effect of past lives,
a new science with the complete unification of science and religion
will be born. I firmly believe that only through the completion
of this Cosmionic Wave Life Physics will the grief of
the foregoing physician be entirely solved as well as the human
hardships of life, old age, disease and death. The attainment of
world peace will be brought about in the religious sense by extinguishing
karmic thoughts (all things negative) and scientifically
through the light of the Cosmionic Waves and its effect
which can be said to be the appearance of Cosmionic Science.
Through the unification of these two facets will the eternal peace
of world mankind be realized for the first time.
Please think deeply of the significance of the Prayer for
World Peace by all means. If the world is not peaceful, there will
never be peace for the individual. Faced with situations where
war is incessantly going on somewhere in this world, and while
being left in a state unaware of when natural disasters will
occur, how can there be peace within the minds of men?
Disastrous omens give birth to uneasiness and these thoughts of
uneasiness and disharmony of men give birth again to disasters.
The Prayer for World Peace have great saviors working at
the apex to vanish away all such thoughts of uneasiness and
disharmony of man as a whole. Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu as well
as the great power of cosmic angels who rest above them
are assisting your Prayers for World Peace. Please bear this fact
deeply in mind.

THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
Is School Education Right the Way It Is?
Man is born into this world. He matures to the age of fifteen,
then enters his thirties and then his forties. He eats, dresses
and plays. Then he becomes educated and finds employment.
He eventually gets married, becomes a parent, a grandfather
or grandmother and passes on.
Although the living environments vary respectively depending
on the person, in terms of being born and passing away, it
is a life no different from anyone else.
What did mankind come into this world for? Did this life
form called “man” suddenly spring to life and multiply without
any purpose or intention? Each lives according to their own
accord respectively and passes away without even gratifying the
age of a hundred. With this, the life of each and everyone comes
to an end. What significances are there for life of such scope?
Man has done good and has done evil. When man dies his
deeds also face the end. The happiness and lamentation of a
person himself all disappear at the boundary of death. Such
being the case, can we ever attain true satisfaction?
Looking at the present world situation, parents and children
alike are being haunted by entrance examination after entrance
examination from kindergarten through college for the purpose
99
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
of entering school alone.* The most important period between
childhood and adolescence is spent in trying to memorize these
examination problems for that given time alone. Seen from the
viewpoint of eternal life, it has no relevance. The situation
allows itself for the practicing of the powers of memorization
only for that given time.
Then after entering college, the students feel relieved for the
time being and acquire some sense of liberation; they try to
make up for the time they could not play around till then.
They begin to feel like undoing the traps to enjoy themselves.
However, there are end of semester exams, so for that period
alone they begin to study again by cramming their heads.
Schools absolutely do not explain the most important issues
for man, namely “How man should live” and “For what purpose
mankind was born into this world”. Technical matters are
taught in schools but students are filled with the urge to escape
from the silly restrictions of education one day sooner. This
is of course a generalization and there are surely countless
exceptions, however, seen from the general point of view,
this reasoning seems valid.
For what purpose does man receive education anyway? Is it
for the purpose of gaining scholarly intelligence and an academic
career, or is it for the purpose of finding good employment
and to secure a higher position in this world? These attainments
are necessary no doubt but are they enough alone?
The very fact that these issues are unclear gives rise to the very
cause of why mankind cannot establish a truly peaceful life.
For man, as well as for mankind as a whole, the most important
issues are not explained and only the offshoot topics are
* The educationasly stemi s highlyc ompetitivien Japan.C hildrenm ust

THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
taught. Unless these fundamental issues are explained and the
trivial educational crafts are taught with these fundamental
issues at the foundation, there is no way to secure the growth
of noble men. Therefore, there will be no way mankind will
conduct a life which follow the true objectives of mankind.
The Three Fundamental Issues
Then, what are the fundamental issues for man and mankind
as a whole which need to be clarified. They are as follows:
i) That is life which dwells within man, in other words, why
does physical man materialize here as he is? 2) Where in the
world did human life come from and where does it go? 3)
What is the purpose for mankind to live here?
Unless there is education and an outlook on life with these
three big issues at its foundation, it is inevitable that the evolution
of mankind will come to an end some day and be thrown
to the brink of ruin.
While neglecting these three serious issues, the world tries to
educate its people and establish the peace of mankind. However,
because the vital underlying principles have not been set,
it is not likely for proper education to be executed. Therefore,
as a matter of course, mankind will not be able to advance
along the tracks of true world peace.
In many countries, at present, the delinquency of youths has
become a problem. Unless the adults of the world think seriously
over these three foregoing issuesa nd bring themselvest o
confront its principles, this is a problem which cannot possibly
be resolved.
On the individual level, there are people who are earnestly
investigating these three issues. However, at present, nations are
not dealing with these issues as part of their educational cur-
IOI
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
riculum. School education propagated forth by the government
occupies stronghold within educational institutions. Therefore,
the situation is one in which no steps can be taken to touch
upon these important fundamental issues.
Private religious groups are trying to connect man’s outlook
on life with the path leading to the understanding of eternal
life by touching upon some of these problems with their respective
ideologies in mind. However, their ways are not strictly
scientific and because they depend on the areas of intuition,
it is of no relevance to those who do not come in contact with
religion.
Searching for the Mysteries of Life to Provide an Education
which Serves Life
Through the relevance of these three issues, the vertical link between
individual life and eternal life, and the horizontal link between
individuals and mankind are also clarified. When a television
receiver is set, the electricity conducted and the dials
turned, images are projected and voices are heard spontaneously
as a matter of course. In a similar way, if television receivers
took the place of schools and gave lectures on these issues, whether
one likes it or not, the contents of these lectures will set
into the minds of the students. Because kindergarten and elementary
school students have no concept of materialism or
idealism yet, the contents of the lectures will set in as they are.
What has been learned during childhood is surprisingly embedded
in the mind and even when reaching adulthood, these matters
may at times decisively effect in gaining control of one’s
destinies.
Then, if from childhood through adolescence, a tendency
is developed in which the issues of life are lectured on and
IO2
THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
researched, the existence of those people who waste life and
mischievously harm others as well as the life of other living
things, will naturally diminish.
This research is something much deeper than what is being
done in western churches on Sundays. Explaining God simply
in religious way is not enough. In order to cultivate a mind
that naturally praises life, it is important to investigate the essence
of life while providing an education based on scientific
facts.
Because there are many adults in this world who are materialists
and atheists and because there are those who object to
education based on religious concepts alone, it is difficult to
provide the education of life smoothly. Therefore, methods
used in life education must be scientific.
There are quite a few scientists in this world who possess the
spirit of religion. Because the scientific talk of these people are
subtly over-flowing with the spirit of religion, while listening
to these scientific lectures, it is a matter of course that students
begin to cherish humble feelings toward the mysteries of life.
Such an education is something which should be offered from
the kindergarten and elementary school levels and related
courses should be offered as mandatory subjects. However, if
this is done by a private religious group, the effects are dim,
therefore, it should be done strictly by the state.
The State Should Concentrate on the Resolution of these
Fundamental Issues
Even if I make these suggestions, the state will not provide a
situation in which to easily accept them. The important fundamental
issues facing man are too abstract and difficult to understand.
Some may say that such an education of life is an imposzo3
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
sibility for it involves intricate issues which cannot even be
scientifically explained.
I actually think that the foregoing is true myself. That is why
we must lead scholars and educators toward an enlightening
direction. It is unclear where life, which supports the “self”,
came from and where it will go. The purpose of mankind is
also unclear. I wonder how the world can expound on such
things as the politics of the state and the guidance of mankind
without clarifying these fundamental issues.
Those who participate in the politics of the state and are in
charge of the United Nations in dealing with the peace of mankind,
feel that the issues of life education are something private
religious groups should do respectively and that they are
altogether irrelevant to the United Nations. Such being the case,
we cannot help but doubt the characters of those who are
regarded as the leaders of the state and that of mankind.
No one can deny the importance of the energy called life
which works within man. Without this life force, man cannot
sustain himself. From the source of life comes the birth of daily
life and which allows for the existence of the state and mankind.
Then why is it that the state and mankind fail to unite their
strengths in hitting upon the research of the existence of life?
Everyone realizes that the energy called life did not emerge
after the conception of the physical body. Life energies abound
within Mother Nature from which all life forms are conceived.
The existence called physical man also came forth from this
source. Expenses being spent by nations on the research of the
essence of life are minimal while those being spent on weapons
which destroy the world are immense. These facts are surely
not deeds of high consciousness.
Is human life something which only exists within the physical
104
THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
body? Or is it something which continues to exist even after
the death of the physical body? Then, in what form did life
exist prior to the birth of the physical body? When these issues
are clarified it becomes unnecessary to foolishly view nations as
enemies or to engage in the race of arms.
If researches could clarify the flow of Mother Nature without
using the words God, Buddha, spirit or astral, there should
be no resistance felt by materialists and even atheists.
Research expenses are necessary for men as well as nations.
Expenses spent on weapons are not regretted however, the politicians
of this world regret to allocate toward the research of
“lif
e” and will not provide for it. We must say that all these
politicians are putting the cart before the horse. As long as the
bad habits of the past are occupying the minds of the politicians
of this world, it cannot be helped that the world be eventually
ruined. This is because nations and mankind controlled by such
politicians are much like trees without roots and will fall when
a strong storm comes along; they are much like houses made
of cards.
Instead of Constructing Spaceships Let’s Research Life
which is Close to Us
Some say that science has been beneficial to mankind; but why
has mankind failed to use this great scientific wisdom for the
firm establishment of mankind. It is true that science has been
beneficial but it has only been for the mere advantage of phenomenal
aspects.
Why don’t we use this wisdom in researching the connection
between eternal life and the life of the individuals. However,
trying to induce others to conduct such great research
with the power of a few people with meager expenses at that,
IOs
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
only amounts to lagging steps. Wise scientists surely grieve
over this situation.
Life energies are functioning at the core of the Great Universe.
The Great Universe is living vividly as the embodiment of this
Great Life. There is nothing wrong with constructing space
crafts which head for the moon, Venus or Mars. However,
there is a fundamental issue more relevant, more economical
and important; it is the unification of the life energies of the
Great Universe and the life energies of man. Through this unification,
we become aware of the mysteries of the Great Universe
which is functioning at the core. The important issues of
life then, will be clarified through a scientific method of research
which will be revealed to physical man. The disciplines
of yoga and zazen sittings of zen are some of the religious
methods.
However, it is important to conduct these investigations
without using the name “religion”. Instead of being performed
by groups of individuals, the state should take the lead with
scientists working as central figures.
Unless this research is undertaken by scientists, the general
public will not be fully convinced. The state should also bear
the expenses of research till the end. In order for the state to
provide departments for the investigation of individual life and
the Great Life of Mother Nature, we are working from a religious
point of view to guide people while bearing in mind the
importance of establishing a connection between religion and
science.
We regard, as a matter of course, the fact that the life of man
is not only confined within the physical body and that it is
functioning while possessing a variety of bodies. I am aware of
this through experience. I am also aware that this world manio6
THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
kind, while in the material vibrations of this world, exists as
one function of the Great Harmony of the Great Universe for
the purpose of creating harmony on earth. Religiously speaking,
we are living as physical man in order to manifest the
mind of God.
I am also aware that there are missions for each and every
man and that he will be reborn into this world many times
until he fulfills these missions. When he finally fulfills his missions,
he migrates to other worlds or worlds of other planets.
However, these are spiritual insights and it cannot yet be
explained scientifically. But as we were continuing the activities
of the Prayer for World Peace to manifest the mind of God
on earth, the wisdom of a science called Cosmionic Wave
Science started to be revealed to us by the Great Life, directly
by cosmic angels.
This is a science of Great Harmony itself; a science which cannot
be conceived where there exists no vibrations of a harmonized
mind. Since this science was conceived for the purpose
of harmonizing the earth, those who take part must in time be
possessors of harmonized mental waves. The vibrations radiated
by the minds of those who continued to pray the Prayer for
World Peace united as they were with the principles of this
Great Harmonious Science. We simply talk of science, but like
religion, the starting point of science is based on intuitional
powers of creativity. We can say that the founders of science
were men of superior powers of intuition and creativity.
We Hope You will Seriously Face the Issues of Life
While leading life on earth like any other, there are those who
establish themselves as men of religion. These people take up
the vibrations of life as being the issues of the mind and in try-
107
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
ing to attain the mind of God, they deeply probe inwardly.
There are others who establish themselves as scientists; they
personally connect the vibrations of life with Mother Nature
and with material objects which is an external approach.
Through the analysis of Mother Nature and material objects,
they establish a framework which is of direct use to this
world. However, scientists and men of religion are no different
in that they both deal with the vibrations of life.
The men of religion who research the vibrations of life inwardly
and the scientists who do so outwardly are both fundamentally
trying to enter deeply into the mind of the God of
the Great Universe.
Even those who are not established as men of religion or scientists
hold both of these ideas to some degree. However, such
feelings do not rise clearly to the surface for their lives are concentrated
on earning a daily living.
Therefore, if the leaders of nations and mankind bring the issues
of life to the open and give guidance, above all, in thinking about
the issues of life, the world will quickly turn to a brighter direction.
There is no one who does not make an issue of life. The
regretable point is that only the life of the physical body is
dealt with. It is important to try to clearly bring about a way
of thinking in which the physical lives of individuals are seen as
having relevance to the life energies of the eternal life, the
life of the Great Universe and Mother Nature.
The physical life of each individual is in fact something which
is completely united at the very base. As the life of parent and
child is thought of as being completely united, the fact that all
are brothers and sisters in this life can be taught scientifically as
well as religiously. Therefore, each nation should focus their
energies toward these issues.
Io8
THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
In addition, the research of scientifically explaining the
religious doxy of cause and effect is necessary. The research of
thought waves can also be done scientifically. Such researches
are necessary as well.
We can also research quite deeply into the ways of Mother
Nature and the flow of the Great Life. There are many things
to be done. We can try to direct the eyes of science not only
outwardly but inwardly and, we can also try, on the contrary,
to direct the eyes of religion outwardly, not only inwardly.
It is regretable that some men of religion aspire to individual
enlightenment alone and indifferently observe the issues of
society and mankind. However, lately, men of religion who
view society and mankind from a broader viewpoint have
increased considerably. But this has gone too far and men of
religion are becoming materialistic with tendencies to focus their
energies only toward external problems such as social reforms
and political issues.
Still, to the very end, the issues of the mind are of the first
consideration to men of religion. However, unless they lend a
hand toward the profits of the masses as well while keeping the
issues of the mind as the principle point, the cart will be placed
before the horse.
The Missions of Mankind
Everything including religion, science and politics exists for the
purpose of manifesting the mind of the Great Cosmic God (The
Law) onto this earthly world. Therefore, we must keep in mind
that everything will eventually move according to the Law
of the Great Universe.
Men of religion and scientists should assist politicians while
politicians should assist with the research developments of men
109
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
of religion and scientists. However, be they scientists or men
of religion,there are those who have stepped off the main path
and it becomes important to recognize these mistaken paths.
Put simply, we can recognize whether the main path has
been evaded by investigating whether or not the chosen path
deviates from the path of harmony; whether it is that of harmony
or disharmony. Those who have derailed from the path
of harmony, whether that of religion or science, are in violation
of the missions of mankind.
This is because the mind of God is Great Harmony and because
the entire universe is advancing toward harmony. However,
there are people who may say that “there are many disharmonious
situations in this world” and that “it does not seem as
if the universe is advancing toward harmony”.
There is no doubt that there are many conditions which seem
disharmoniousit selfw ithin this phenomenalw orld. The survival
of the fittest among animals is an excellent example of this.
There are many others such as earthquakes, typhoons and floods.
These conditions are the results of continuous interactions between
the elements of imperfect life forms (man) which have
been going on since past lives or since the advent of man. As
living things evolve, these conditions are sure to vanish away.
However, world mankind is still living a life form in which
these conditions have not vanished away as yet. Nevertheless,
there are many in this world who have overcome this imperfect
state and have reached total harmony. Such people have
been referred to as saints and sages.
If we come to completely possess thought vibrations which
are similar to those of saints and sages, the conditions of the
survival of the fittest and natural calamities which we are able
to observe at present will completely dissipate. The world of
IIO
THE EDUCATION OF LIFE
highly evolved planets reveal such envious states of perfection.
Cosmic angels who guide us in Cosmionic Science are inhabitants
of such world of stars which have completely evolved.
In such a world, a super science which is beyond the imagination
of world mankind has been perfected. Cosmic angels are
equiped with the powers of science which are like works of
magic; they can manifest things in any shape or form. What
cosmic beings are often seen doing on T.V. during children’s
hours can actually be scientifically performed.
From these cosmic beings we are being given the wisdom of
this super science daily. In the near future, after its completion,
I would like to explain it fully.
As I have mentioned before, the mission of world mankind
is to manifest the mind of Great Harmony, the mind of the
Great Universal Spirit onto this world. We must advance all
powers toward the direction of harmony in order to rescue
the fears and confusions of this present world one day sooner.
This is something which must be done by the leaders of nations
and mankind by all means. All spheres including religion, science
and education must be conducted by putting its weight
here.
I promulgate this through the practice of the Prayer for
World Peace. All evils and unhappiness are vanishing images
of the causes from the imperfect days of the past. Let us live by
throwing this vanishing image into the Prayer for World Peace
which is the mind of the Universal God, the Great Light itself.
The foregoing is what I teach. It is a path in which to accomplish
the missions of mankind which can be easily performed
by any individual.
III
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING
TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
The World of the Survival of the Fittest
Among every living thing in this world, the strong live by
suppressing the weak. In other words, it is a world of the
survival of the fittest.
However, even within the human world, not only for
individuals, nations and races but for almost every aspect of the
mundane world, the level of a particular position is determined
by monetary power, military force, intelligence and the like.
We often come across such comments as, “He is so much
less intelligent than I am but has reached such an excellent position.”
Generally speaking, we can say that some differences in
talent caused this disparity in position. However, more than
simply being differences in educational background, there must
have been differences within their powers of human nature on
the whole.
In mentioning powers, we do not mean powers which appear
in figures alone. The magnetism of one’s character as well
as the charm of a nation or race is one form of the powers
possessed by man. These powers also become forces which
elevate the position and authority of people or organizations.
Regardless of the fact that employment at some company or
public office commenced in the same year, there are times when
112
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
a promotion is granted to one’s colleague regardless of the fact
that the other had done his utmost best. The neglected turns
remorse for he feels that he excells his colleague in every way.
There was none the less, some kind of power gap evident here.
Whether the promotion was due to the fact that his colleague
was good at coaxing his superiors, the ability he possessed of
being able to play up to his superiors manifested as his power.
In dealing with international issues, it is clear that the United
States and the Soviet Union enjoy a higher international
position than that held by Japan at present. What then are the
powers which have caused this disparity in position? It goes
without saying that they are the powers of money and the
powers of science; the powers of science which was born out
of this monetary power, and the powers of military force
which was strengthened by the powers of science.
If things are to continue the way they are, it seems that the
disparity between the international position of Japan and that
of Russo-America will show no great contrast from that of the
present situation till the end. It seems that in order to maintain
the balance between the powers of Japan with that of Russo-
America, her powers of military force must be strengthened
by increasing her powers of money and science.
Let us leave aside the question of whether the balancing of
power through military force is right or wrong and ask whether
Japan can ever maintain a balance of power between the
United States and the Soviet Union through the use of military
force. We can say that, no matter how many years pass by, it
seems improbable that such a balance of military power can be
maintained by the Japanese in the near future. If this is the case,
Japanese with prudent minds cannot help but grieve over the fact
that Japan will have to subsist forever as a second rate nation.
113
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
The animal instinct of survival continues to cause friction on
a daily basis between the two superpowers (the United States
and the Soviet Union) and smaller countries whether they like
it or not. The situation is one in which we cannot possibly tell
when the resentment held back by the smaller countries will
explode. The outburst of resentment by the smaller countries
could possibly undermine the emotions of either one of the
superpowers leading to the final destructive world war.
Japan, in this sense, has a very favorable stance as she is
maintaining relations with these super powers. However, if she
clings to her easy-going self-protectionist sentiments, she will
be caught in between the emotional entanglement of the two
powerful countries and the resentment of the smaller countries.
Her homeland, she was able to reconstruct on a full-scale basis
for a while after World War II, may possibly be completely
annihilated in the case of another war.
Therefore, Japan must cast aside her easy-going present outlook
on peace and take a first big step in order to maintain true
peace in all countries of the world. We can say that political
policies at present wish for the prosperity of one’s own country
alone and that individuals are leading lifestyles which aim at
attaining peace only for oneself and one’s personal business concerns.
However, neither do individuals nor nations deliberately
pursue war. Due to egoism which is the vice of human nature,
and being influenced by the animal instinct of self-preservation,
it cannot be helped for each country, big or small, but become
involved in the waves of resentful and controversial sentiments.
It is evident that every victory in this world is determined
by power. This world is always competing for the attainment
of victory. Just as in the world of animals, victory and loss is
the name of the game. Even our scientific research and military
114
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
buildup are being conducted with this game in mind. However,
in this age, the notion of competing for victory signifies, in
itself, the destruction of world mankind.
The competition for victory is enough for the world of sports
alone, however, such is the state of the present world at large.
All individuals recognized this fact but when it comes to nations,
even this obvious theory becomes indiscernible. It is due
to the animal instinct of self-preservation.
The strong suppress the weak and do as they wish. When
this animal instinct is overcome, the true lifestyle of man will
come about. But man from ancient times till this day, still lives
at the mercy of this animal instinct.
The Tendency for the Respect for Life has Increased
Mankind is endowed with powers to think and abilities to
create. These powers worked within man made him realize
that it was wrong to live a lifestyle based on animal instinct
and that man should unite his instinct with the mind of God for
the welfare of mankind. Man then, gave birth to religious and
scientific movements based on the powers of love which flowed
from one’s divine nature. As a result, civilization and culture
of the present day was established and the tendency toward the
respect for human life, which is the manifestation of the mind
of the divine world, has seen an increase incomparable to ages
past.
The flourishing of culture and civilization, and the idea of
respect for human life are primatial ideologies which surely
set mankind apart from all kinds of animals. It is one proof that
man is a child of God.
However, when our personal interests clash with those of
others, it becomes difficult to yield oneself and respect the views
Its
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
of others. This will then lead to the competition of power
versus power and when power struggles become one between
nations, war will be the outcome.
The respect for human rights and the dignity of human life
are lost when this results. In trying to protect one’s country ,
whatever military power necessary to attain victory is taken up .
This gives rise to the instinct of the survival of the fittest which
had been dormant till then and man throws himself down to
exactly the same boundaries as that of animals.
If we view things from the surface, man cannot possibly
win against the instinct of the survival of the fittest and that of
self-preservation. Therefore, the world is about to settle for
such a conclusion in believing that there is no way the world
of complete peace will ever manifest on earth.
What Is Meant by the Coming of Saints
However, I do not want to propose such a conclusion that
mankind will never attain peace and I know of a way that can
deter from having to do so. It is the Prayer for World Peace .
For those who read my book for the first time , it may be
incomprehensible to be told that it is simply the practice of
the Prayer for World Peace that will manifest peace on earth .
Therefore, I would like to give an explanation in rightful
order.
Man is made intricately indeed. We simply talk of man but
the variety of minds which man possesses are beyond calculation.
When we talk of lions and tigers, their differences in form
are minimal and there seems to be little difference as well in
terms of their character and behavior. Similar to the case with
animals, the shapes and forms of men are not so different but
their levels of consciousness are great and many .
I16
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
Just because the shapes and forms of human beings are similar,
is it right to put robbers and murderers on the same level
as that of Buddha or Christ? We do not have to say Buddha or
Christ here, can we put such saints as Dr. Schweitzer and Helen
Keller on the same level with these considerable inferior deceivers?
Please consider this point carefully.
How can men be classified under the same species called
human beings while exhibiting such large gaps in character?
Buddha Sakyamuni gave an explanation in saying that there are
ten realms of living beings: hell; the worlds of hungry spirits,
animals, asuras, and men; heaven; the worlds of sravakas, pratyekabuddhas,
bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. There are countless
types of human beings from the level of Buddha Sakyamuni to
robbers and murderers. I believe that this very fact can prove
the infinite evolution of mankind. I believe that this progress
of evolution is about to rapidly take place at the present.
However, the majority of mankind seems to be influenced
by animalistic lifestyles coming from the instinct of the survival
of the fittest and that of self-preservation, and looks upon
the spiritual evolution of mankind as being hopeless. In reality
however, this is not the truth of the matter. These thoughts
reflect the images of mankind that have not yet evolved; it is
a reflection of the process of growth. The very fact that there
have been many saints and sages who have appeared in this
world including Buddha Sakyamuni and Jesus, signifies that
the majority of mankind will be able to attain the mind of
those saints and sages without a doubt.
A level which was able to be reached by one human being,
is a path which can definitely be reached by any other. When
science reaches a certain level, it becomes popularized its findings
and can be reached and followed by many others. How-
117
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
ever, when it conies to the issues of the mind, it necessarily
takes a greater amount of time than it does for science to become
commonly accepted.
Those who have been referred to as saints and sages have
manifested the divinity of man as it was and revealed the mind
of God in this world while surpassing selfish desires. Not only
were there one or two but there have been quite a few of them
till this day. It is certain that the paths they have followed and
the vibrations of their minds are emanating throughout the
world today.
Thoughts and Vibrations
Ordinary people think that only what they see and hear with
their physical eyes and ears are real. However, compared to
the infinite vibrations which exist in this world, what we hear
and see with our physical eyes and ears are very minimal. In
this connection, what are the measures of waves which we can
see with our physical eyes, in other words, how much of these
invisible rays can we see? It is said to be of wavelengths between
38o and 780 microns which is an insignificant portion of the
variety of waves and wavelengths known to science today.
Therefore, ordinary people see and hear those insignificant
portion of waves which flow throughout this world and simply
neglect the other majority of waves as being nonexistant.
The science of our present world has greatly advanced. With
radios and televisions that make use of waves which flow
through empty space, we are able to transmit affairs which
occur in the far distance before our very eyes. We are trying to
transform the lifestyle of this earthly world into something even
more convenient and valuable by catching the waves which
cannot be perceived by our eyes and ears. But on the other
I18
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
hand, depending on how the waves which flow throughout the
universe are used, there is a method in which one can change
the thoughts of another exactly according to one’s own wishes.
At present, this method is being conceived by the science camp
of the Soviet Union. If such a method is developed and abused,
there is a chance that world mankind will have to operate
exactly according to the wishes of the Soviet Union.
It is to such an extent that the waves which flow throughout
this universe have enormous utility values. Your moment to
moment thoughts, as well, flow throughout this universe as
being wave vibrations themselves. The wave vibrations which
you emit unite with the same vibrations put out by others
around the world. These similar thought vibrations work in
unison to influence those who have emitted them initially as
well as those throughout the world with similar thought vibrations.
People simply do not realize this concept is similar to the
theory of electrical shock; the work of invisible wave vibrations.
Although the flow of electricity is materialistic and the
flow of thought waves are spiritual, they are both equivalent
in terms of being law.
It is not uncommon to feel the thoughts of others who are
far away or for a certain person to appear while you have been
talking about him. We can also sense the atmosphere of a given
situation by catching the thought vibrations of a certain person
or place.
Unique people who are psychic, sense thoughts which cannot
be perceived by ordinary men. They can conceive the conditions
of people in remote areas and see into their minds.
What this means is that the body of ordinary man, scientifically
speaking, is much like a magnetic field through which electric
I19
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
currents are flowing. We can understand this concept clearly if
we replace electrical currents with thought currents and say
that thought currents transmit to the magnetic field of others.
If for example, the magnetic field of an ordinary person is as
wide as a three-fold circle, his thought currents will influence
the magnetic field of others while circulating within the circumference
of this circle. The magnetic field of psychics, however,
expands to a circle which is five-fold and even eight-fold wide.
Their thought waves are transmitted to the magnetic field of
others even more rapidly than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, they can quickly perceive what ordinary people
are yet unaware of and learn of world events and destinies of
people before they manifest.
Be Responsible for the Thoughts You Put Forth
After certain amount of time passes by, the flow of thought
waves which circulates within the magnetic field of individuals
(the physical and astral bodies) manifests, as a matter of course,
as that persons destiny or manifest as some physical affliction.
Ordinary people are not aware of the type of thought waves
within their magnetic fields until they manifest to the surface.
But since psychics grasp the flow of thought waves before they
appear as reality, they know by preperception the facts which
are about to manifest.
These things can naturally be understood if we recognize the
theory that everything about this universe is comprised of
waves. The waves of thoughts which one puts forth circulate in
an instant within your magnetic field and flow throughout the
universe. To recognize this fact becomes the initial step toward
man’s true way of life as well as the initial step toward uniting
religion and science.
I20
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
Not to be responsible for thought waves which you are
putting forth means that you have already given up on your
destiny. No matter how desperate that person’s destiny may
become, all is caused by one’s own ignorance. The religious
doctrine of cause and effect is based on this reasoning.
Intellectual way of life in the future must place, as its first
criteria, the fact that we must all be responsible for thought
waves we have put forth. Some continue to put forth such
inferior thoughts as “I’m weak” or “I’m no good” while others,
on the contrary, think that they are most superior and try to
improve their destinies by controlling others. Because these conducts
are against the natural law (life), people will end up only
hurting themselves. In this present world, there are thoughts of
darkness, and self-denial; thoughts of grief over one’s misfortunes,
unhappiness and one’s lack of power; as well as such
unharmonious thoughts of bearing grudges against others and
slandering others. All such thoughts that go against the law of
life, which is the principle of giving vigor to all things, are
thought waves which obstruct the revolution of the universe
and deteriorate the destiny of world mankind.
Scientificallys peaking,w hile we are polluting our own magnetic
fields of life, we are at the same time polluting the magnetic
field of the world and to be more precise, the magnetic
field of the life of the universe. In recognizing this truth and
bringing this truth to life, the future path of both religion and
science will unfold.
When the magnetic field of one’s life (the physical and astral
bodies) becomes polluted, a strong force comes forth from the
source of life in order to purify this field. As a result of being
pushed by this strong force, the pollution is drawn out to the
exterior. In proportion to the pollution that dissipates during
I2I
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
this process, life begins to radiate. However, the effects of this
dissipation process manifest, physically speaking, as symptoms
of sickness and as poverty and ill luck in terms of destiny. I refer
to these effects as “the vanishing image”. Since life itself is burning
eternally with vigor, if one always keeps himself connected
to the source of life, his magnetic field will always be radiating
with vigor. Such people are called godlike and noble. The
radiance of their life is strong which means, in other words,
that their life force is strong. They pour their vigorous energies
into the magnetic field of others providing a positive influence
to many. Unlike the karmic powers which feed the energies of
the survival of the fittest, the power of these life forces itself,
which is the true force, become forces to create a harmonized
world.
Nature is Always Advancing toward Harmony
Although this world at present is certainly filled with unhappiness
and evil and seems like a place of struggle between the
forces of selfish desires, these are the images of karmic thought
waves which are being ceaselessly purified by the light of the
Great Life. They are “vanishing images” ; an aspect of momentary
manifestations which have appeared in sequence.
The truth above, that everything is advancing toward harmony,
is being proven scientifically as well. Even in the realm
of atoms which constitute the materials of this world, they are
ceaselessly functioning toward maintaining harmony. This is
shown by the movement of electrons which encircle the atomic
nucleus. Elementary particles, among atoms, are also ceaselessly
functioning to seek stability. Then again, there are stable and
unstable among atoms; the unstable atoms are always working
I22
ALLT HINGASR EA DVANCINTOGW ARGDR EAHTA RMONY
to seek stability. Molecules are also functioning to maintain
harmony at all times.
All things exhibit conditions which are trying to achieve
harmony; from the microcosmic world of atoms, to the molecular
cells of living things; from the natural phenomena of the
universe, to typhoons and earthquakes.
There may be doubts as to why typhoons and earthquakes
occur for the purpose of maintaining harmony. Typhoon is an
event, so to speak, which results when cold air and warm air
try to harmonize. When the warm air tries to unite (harmonize)
by drifting into the cold air, the current of air at that
moment creates a typhoon. Typhoons, in themselves, are not
so favorable a condition, however, if they happen to cause
no damage, their functions can be beneficial to mankind. Therefore,
if we can cleanse the air and survey its harmony without
having to cause such phenomenon as typhoons to do so, we
can reap only its positive aspects.
Even earthquakes phenomena which occur for the purpose
of adjusting the warp and the disharmony of the land. They
are also phenomena which occur to control the harmony of the
land. Similar to the case with typhoons, if there were no damages
caused by earthquakes, we can say that they are also conditions
which aim at maintaining harmony.
Mankind must then think of a way to reap the benefits of
typhoons and earthquakes without having them manifest.
Let’s Adjust to the Waves of Great Life
According to the theory which I have explained, everything
undergoes transformation through the interplay of waves;
everything including all creation and spiritual phenomena.
I23
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Therefore, if we adjust all waves to the waves of the Great Life
(the mind of the Universal God), which is at the root of all
natural phenomenon, all things will be greatly harmonized.
If world mankind comes to freely use this power of the
Great Life (the waves of the Great Life), the images of the survival
of the fittest will vanish away from this world giving
birth to a great harmonious world.
The greatest path for this end is to transform the thought
waves of individuals into one which is righteous. To make them
righteous means to have the physical and astral body of man,
the magnetic field of human life, purified at all times. What
does it mean to purify the physical and astral body which is
the workplace of life and the magnetic field of life? It means to
wash away, at all times, such thoughts of darkness, grudge,
anger and fear which cause misery to oneself, others and mankind.
In addition, it means to wash away those thoughts which
deny the happiness of oneself and others with comments such
as “I’mn useless” or “Mankind is hopeless”. It means to try and
maintain a magnetic field which is clean and radiant at all times.
What method can be used to accomplish this? It is that of
prayer. Among prayers, the Prayer for World Peace is one
which takes effect on a grand scale. The Prayer for World
Peace is a prayer which elevates the thought waves of oneself
to wish for the peace of world mankind which is the thought
of universal love. It is to sublimate into the mind of the Universal
God through support provided by the pillars of light
coming from our Guardian Divine Spirits.
The peace of world mankind signifies the manifestation of
the mind of the Universal God itself. This is because God is
Absolute Harmony. Every creation of the universe all exists
within the great harmonious mind of the Universal God.
124
ALL THINGS ARE ADVANCING TOWARD GREAT HARMONY
Therefore, if mankind projects her thought waves into the
Prayer for World Peace which is the mind of the Universal
God itself, we will be emanating the waves of Great Harmony
as they are.
In actuality, the Prayer for World Peace is filling the universe
with waves of the Great Light of Salvation and through this
Great Light the pollution of the magnetic life fields of the world
is about to be purified step by step.
Karmic thought waves arise from animal instincts such as
those instincts of self-preservation, self-desires and the survival
of the fittest. In order to exchange all such powers derived from
these animal instincts with the power of the Great Harmony of
the Great Life, we are practicing the Prayer for World Peace
every moment without end.
Nations, such as Japan, who are inferior in terms of monetary
and military power to the big nations must acquire for themselves
the powers of Great Harmony through prayer.
We must remove the authority of the present world based
on monetary and military power by the powers of Great Harmony
coming from the Prayer for World Peace one day sooner.
We are not talking about terminating the authority of the
United States or the Soviet Union; we are talking about the
termination of karmic thought waves which is engulfing the
entire world at present.
Those who have awakened to the truth, promptly rise and
join in the Prayer for World Peace which is to purify the karmic
thought waves of world mankind; it is the purification of
universal vibrations. The Prayer for World Peace will free your
mind and surely return the destiny of world mankind from the
grips of karma back to the hands of God.

ESOTERIC MATTERS
Three Topics on the Interaction with Divine Spirits
If I write too much about esoteric and spiritual matters, readers
will inadvertently become dissatisfied and bored with the practices
and facts of common life; the fact flowers are red, willows
are green and the fact that eyes are horizontal and nose vertical.
In other words, instead of carefully and patiently advancing the
proper course of religious men step by step, many will become
bored with these common sense procedures and ways. They
feel that they can reach enlightenment at once and try to quickly
attain the path toward spiritual experiences. Doing so, they
will gain too much curiosity over spiritual phenomena and be
tricked by astral creatures nonexistent in the divine world, resulting,
at times, in an irreplaceable situation.
Therefore, I am taking utmost care in writing and lecturing
so that people who read my books and listen to my talks may
advance the righteous path of religion and way of life without
error. The fundamental teaching here becomes the practice of
the Prayer for World Peace and the “vanishing image”. However,
I am thinking of changing the contents a little today and
will write about the world of divine spirits and the astral world.
Actually, it was the other day when I visited Nachi Falls in
Kumano that I was suddenly inspired to do so.
I26
ESOTERIC MATTERS
Just recently, a certain person brought and showed me a
picture taken in front of Nachi Falls. Since Mr. Hideo Saito,
a lecturer of our society, has come across a tremendous spiritual
experience when he visited Nachi Falls led by this same man,
I also thought at that time that I must pay a visit to Nachi once
myself. Nachi Falls is a fall which became famous because of
the disciplinary trainings performed there by Enno Ozunu, who
is acting as one of my Guardian Divine Spirits. So it was a spot
where I had to inevitably go sooner or later. I took this picture
of Nachi Falls which the man handed over to me in my hand
and took a look. At that instant, Hiryu Gongen, the Master
Deity of Nachi Falls came and swiftly united with my spiritual
body saying, “I have been waiting for quite some years. Please
come in the near future by all means.” Come to think of it, I
had been invited for many years by this man who gave me the
picture with such words as “Master, Nachi is a place you have
a deep spiritual bond with so let’s go once.”
This man with the picture, though he himself may have been
aware, was informing me of Hiryu Gongen’s message. There
are many times when divine messages are relayed as in this case.
There is a story a few years back when Emperor Meiji,’ together
with old Mr. Saigo Nanshu,2 stood above my shoulders in
spirit saying, “We would like you to visit Meiji Shrine, and so
will send a messenger.” From just about that time, Mr. Kanroji,
the chief priest of Meiji Shrine began to show a sudden

of Meiji by centralizing administrative power and enacting the first constitutional
law in Japan. Reigned 1867-1917. Meiji Shrine is the one sacred to
the memory of Emperor Meiji.

who rendered great services to the establishment of the Meiji Government.
I27.
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
affection with me, although his daughter had been coming to
us prior to this time. He sent me a message through his daughter
saying, “Please visit Meiji Shrine someday by all means. I
will take you around thoroughly.” So last year, during the iris
season, I payed a visit to the shrine accompanied by my daughter
and escorts and received a courteous hospitality all day.
While trying to be discreet to others, I was of course purifying
the various spiritual hindrances within Meiji Shrine. At that
time, the gratified faces of Emperor Meiji and old Mr. Saigo
clearly appeared in spirit. Thereafter, I have been continuing
my intimate friendship with Mr. Kanroji. His honest devotion
to the Imperial Household is pleasant indeed. As a result of my
connection with him I was able to go to Ise Shrine and worship
before the altar for the second time this year.
Here is another story which happened some twenty years ago
when I left the Shounkaku Dojo in Shinden, Ichikawa City and
changed my residence to Yahata. I was walking around looking
for an inexpensive and reasonable house somewhere near Ichikawa.
As I approached the front of Hachiman Shrine of Yahata,
I heard the voice of the god of Hachiman Shrine sound and
clear saying, “Your house is kept for you in Yahata so it’s not
necessary to look elsewhere. Look only in Yahata.” I immediately
searched the neighborhood of Yahata and found my
present home. I have been living there for twenty years already
without experiencing any inconveniences. My wife says that
the house is neither big nor small and that it is a quiet place
and conveniently located for shopping as well. It has been close
to forty years since the house has been built but we have been
living here quite happily day after day.
If I am to write about such interactions with divine spirits,
they exist to no end. Our lives are always being protected and
I28
ESOTERIC MATTERS
being watched over by the world of divine spirits. Each a
and every occurrence never results or happens through
workings of the physical world alone.
flair
the
At Nachi Falls
Getting back to the story of Nachi Falls, since it was a special
invitation of Hiryu Gongen, I decided to set out promptly led
by this man who showed me the picture. Wherever I go, my
journeys are always inseparable from meeting with members
and giving lectures. However, this time alone, I set out with
Nachi Falls as being my sole purpose.
We stayed a night at Nakano Island of Kii Katsuura. From
midnight till about nine the next morning, even though it was
March, there came violent winds and rain as if invaded by a
typhoon. It was common sense to reason that it would be impossible
to get to shore by boat from the lodging of this small
offshore island in the middle of the ocean. However, the wind
and rain stopped exactly after nine. The blue sky unfolded in
an instant, the greenery of the island mountains became vivid,
the rock mountains were also completely cleansed whereupon
an undescribable, refreshing scenic beauty began to set in. My
spiritual eyes envisioned that the wind and rain of the previous
night was brought about by the purification work of the black
dragon who is working to assist the Master Deity of Nachi
Falls in order to welcome us. Since such works of purification
go on every time I go about Shrines or spiritual locations, my
guide, daughter and escorts were saying that there must have
been a purification again as if it was a matter of course.
When we arrived in Nachi, the rows of big cedars were filled
with spiritual energies. When we climbed the rock and stood
in front of the descending fall, the dragon figure of Hiryu
I29
THEF UTUROEF M ANKIND
Gongen appeared to my spiritual eyes. His dragon figure then
changed into the image of a white haired and bearded old sage
who was welcoming me with a broad smile. Then appeared a
bright and luring image of the black dragon who performed
the purification of winds and rain at Katsuura. I proceeded to
form my mudra hand signals and clapped my hands for purification.
And then I finished connecting with divine spirits and
descended from the Falls. Many people in past ages have come
to this fall to perform esoteric trainings in hopes to reach enlightenment
and many have died in the midst of their disciplines.
As I was purifying the fall on this occasion, I envisioned
these asceticss till performing their disciplinesw ithin my spiritual
body. Soon after, however, they were all purified and departed
from me to their respective worlds. Although the man
who guided us had been to this fall many times, he had never
seen the image of such a magnificent fall with such great currents
of water as he had on this day.
What I remembered here is the great white dragon of Niagara
Falls. Although that great white dragon had the mission
of working to purify the earth itself with Canada and America
as the main center of purification, the function of this dragon
deity of Nachi Falls is said to be working to purify the Konpaku
(astral and physical elements) of individuals as its primary objective.
It is without a doubt an optimum place for disciplinary
spiritual training.
The Story of the Inner Depths of Nothingness
We are finally going to enter the main topic here and what
I would like to mention first is the fact that this world is filled
with the echoes of endless wave vibrations which exist over and
above the sixth sense. What we can perceive with our five
13o
ESOTERIC MATTERS
senses, hear with our ears, smell with our noses, touch with our
hands and feel with our hearts, are not the only phenomenon
which exists within this world. Over and above these senses,
the core of the mind of the Universal God exists within the
inner world of the inner world which I have mentioned in my
book, Lectureso n Lao Tzu. In other words, the vibrations of our
world exists within the inner depths of inner nothingness. The
Hannya Shingyo Sutra of Buddha explains these facts but they
arenot readily understood by ordinary people. Therefore, starting
from the concepts of the ordinary world which can be
perceived by the five senses, I am thinking of writing in easy
language about the world that transcends the sixth sense; the
astral, spiritual and divine worlds, as well as about the central
core which is the mind of the Universal God.
The Universal God is all of everything. He is the prime mover
of all things, the origin of life and also the fundamental theory
and law of the revolution of Mother Nature. Speaking in
Christian terms, He is the Absolute Being. However, the
Universal God does not function in the form of the Absolute
Being alone but divides into myriads of forms and conducts
His various existential and phenomenal activities. In Japanese
Shinto, names are given to show each function from Ame-no-
Minakanushi-no-Ookami, the single Deity, to Yaoyorozu-no-
Kami, all the gods of heaven and earth. The Universal God
functions as one and many at the same time. Because mankind
exists as divided lives of these deities, they are called children
of God.
Among deities, there are deities which govern the revolution
of Mother Nature to deities that govern each star. For Venus,
there is a Master Deity who governs the revolution of Venus
and for Earth there is a Master Deity who governs the revolu-
‘3z
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
tion of Earth. In yoga, the Master Deity of Earth is called the
Master Spirit of Earth. There are various spiritual beings under
Him who communicate with the Guardian Divine Deities of
human beings at every step in trying to manifest the mind of
the Universal God onto this earth.
The Path of Evolution—the Path of Harmony
The Great Universe is infinite. The mind of the Great Universe
functions endlessly and evolves endlessly. As the Great Universe
evolves endlessly,t he earthly world is also on the path
of evolutionary development. All things are imperfect till they
reach perfection. It is natural for mankind and things of this
world to be unharmonious and imperfect at the present time
for the great harmonious state of perfection has not manifested
on earth as yet. Although the images of evil, misfortunes and
misdeeds are manifesting themselves in this world, it is useless
to only be concerned with the tragedies of a particular incident,
person or country. These images, however, are on their way to
perfection. The Great Perfection (the Absolute Being) will manifest
its image of perfection in the future through what I refer
to as the “vanishing image”.
If man clings to his thoughts of evil, unhappiness and misfortune
alone, he can hardly make progress. It is important to optimistically
advance the path of goodness toward the path of
Great Harmony. Fearing only the outcome of war, countries
are said to increase their armaments to match those other countries.
With such methods as “putting evil against evil”, the
earth cannot advance toward the direction of Great Harmony
and perfection.
No matter how extensively one’s opposition may increase
arms, each country should earnestly aim toward the improve-
132
ESOTERIC MATTERS
ment of worldly culture and civilization, toward the improvement
of scientific advancements for the development of mankind
and toward the elevation of spirits. Unless this is done,
there is no way the development of mankind as well as the
eternal peace of the world will be realized.
Just because each country tries to protect themselves from
each other, where is there the necessity of leading the world
toward the direction of destruction? Because each country does
not have the courage to believe in the divine missions of each
other, they are making deadly weapons while being aware of
the crisis of world destruction. There is nothing more foolish
than this. As long as there exists, for example, a country named
Japan on this earth, and as long as her divine mission exists,
there is no way she will see destruction. If ever the mission
endowed to Japan vanishes away, she will be destroyed no
matter how much she increases her armaments.
Statesmen must conduct the politics of their countries while
being aware of these fundamental points.
The mission of Japan is hers till the end, which is to be a land
of Great Harmony, Hinomoto-no-Kuni.* Her mission is to
bring about Great Harmony (peace) to the world. Unless she
advances while establishing her roots upon this mission, she
will attach her thoughts only to the movement of other countries
alone. If others increase armaments, she will think of doing
so and if many countries equip themselves with nuclear
arms, Japan will think of doing so while troubling her mind.
If things are left the way they are, she will destroy her own
country. In this respect, all government and their people must
firmly believe in the divine mission of their country and live on.

’33
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
The Japanese government then must firmly believe in her mission
to manifest a great harmonious world onto this world and
it must relate this truth to its citizens.
No matter what means are taken, nothing will go well unless
a nation is prepared to risk their lives toward the mission of
their country. If Japan is not prepared to do so, she will also
take part in the destruction of the earth. Japan must believe in
her mission and do her daily best. Instead of being fascinated
by the work of other nations, Japan should lay her life down
for her divine mission.
Universal Wisdom which Aims at Harmony
The mind of the Universal God is making endless progress
trying to greatly harmonize all things. This mind manifests
itself within the workings of the universe as well as within the
revolution of Mother Nature. The earth is of the only importance
to us terrestrial beings, however, we have forgotten that
the functions of the mind of the universe is occurring on each
of the endless number of stars.
There is no way the mind of the Universal God which is
Great Wisdom, decorates stars more expansive than earth simply
for the visual gratification of earth alone. There are various
Master Deities in each star and virtuous spirits who are working
to fulfill their missions. Master Deities who function with the
mind of the Universal God as their own, are always exchanging
light waves between one another in order to govern the universe.
Virtuous spirits that attend to below them are performing
their various functions in their respective realms. The function
of the dragon deity is to manage all water flow; they work
in this way to perform their purification functions. Where ever
there is water, be it limited or abundant the work of the dragon
134
ESOTERIC MATTERS
deity is being performed. In oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds and
wells, the white, gold, black and blue dragons perform their
work in their proper places of duty. The work of dragon deities
are even being performed for weather predicaments to rectify
weather conditions.
Everything functions to bring forth Great Harmony to the
universe. If we look at typhoons in itself, it seems troublesome
with all of its damages, however, to help with the revolution of
the universe and the existence of living creatures of on earth,
it is a great advantage. If man can perform the purification
brought about by typhoons from their side, the necessity for
typhoons will disappear.I f one becomesa considerables aint, as
Jesus and the great sages of yoga, it is said that they may halt
the wind and rain through prayer. This is a true fact for we can
say that the purification function of the wind and rain are performed
instead by the purifying powers of the saint. Thereupon
they are able to halt the wind and rain.
Even if we fail to become such great saints, we can adjust the
weather by our devoted prayers. Through the powers of prayer
of great many people, the purification of Mother Nature can
be performed. According to this reasoning, even an earthquake
can be avoided by the prayers of many. This is so because our
Mother Earth itself is fundamentally made up of waves. This
is clear through the theories of science;i t is a scientifici nterpretation
as well as a spiritual point of view. Each elementary particle
is a particle as well as a wave. Through the light vibrations
(the righteous echoes of life) of the mind of man who prays,
the earth’s nucleus which is made up of waves is allowed to readjust
in t he correct manner, making it unnecessaryto perform
the adjustment through earthquakes.
When speaking of the universe of Mother Nature, naive peo-
135
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
ple simply imagine the existence of materials and materialistic
movements. However, the revolution of the universe and the
subsistence of Mother Nature are made possible through the
interplay of divine spirits; they are not simply materialistic existences
nor the work of materials.
This concept is something very natural for those of us who
constantly work through the interactions with the world of
divine spirits; as natural as the act of breathing for ordinary
people.
Within this universe, with the Universal God at the center,
the associations and ranks of each Master Deity and myriad of
spirits are scrupulously maintained. We often say that things
will happen naturally or refer to the work of nature. However,
the state of nature we refer to here is the result of the interplay
of great many spirits. It is completely different from those simple
accidental occurrences or developments which take place
without wisdom or volition.
Even the fixed Law of the Universe or the Law of Nature are
being sustained by the mind of the Universal God and through
the functions of various deities. Be it the force of gravity or the
force of repulsion, whether it is explained scientifically as the
multiaction of atoms, the activities of the atoms themselves are
based on the work of the gods.
In a world where things are perceived with the five senses
alone, the world as well as man itself all appear as if they are
material objects. However, in actuality, the world as well as
man are not material bodies which can simply be perceived by
the five senses. They are made up of what can be perceived
over and above the sixth sense, by the numerous layers of wave
spheres much finer than those that can be presently perceived
by us the five senses. Therefore, I explain that besides the phys-
136
ESOTERIC MATTERS
ical body, man is clothed in the astral body, the spiritual body
and the divine body and lives in each level at the same time.
The Purification of Thoughts which is Necessary
We simply refer to the divine world, the spiritual world and
the astral world but in each world there are countless levels and
tiers. If we were to subdivide them in minutely it would be
beyond our count. There are many living things which can
only live in a particular tier. For example, there are living things
within the astral world which of course cannot be perceived by
the five senses of man. However, they have a great amount of
curiosity toward human beings and if given the chance, they
will sneak into the astral body of man and wish to live the
same lifestyle as human beings. Living things in the astral world
possess such negative thoughts as impure sexual desires, vanity,
the desires for power and material things. If man continues to
put forth these thoughts which are far distant from the thoughts
of man’s nobleness, astral beings will some day assimilate with
these negative thought and enter astral bodies of men in trying
to fulfill their selfish desires. These possessed men, then, come
to nonchalantly perform disgraceful deeds which cannot readily
be done by men. The true nature of man, which is that of being
a child of God, becomes overshadowed by the waves of these
living things in the astral world.
Therefore, it is necessary for man to pray in order to purify
his mind at all times. One should not continue to pollute his
mind with negative thoughts just because they will be unnoticed
by others. Since the life of man is always being influenced
by various waves, inferior thoughts may also come to surface
at times. Every time such thoughts appear, it is better to recognize
that they are vanishing images, and switch your thoughts
137
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
toward the noble mind of God. This method, in other words,
is the practice of the vanishing image and the Prayer for World
Peace.
It is false to think that just because we are human beings we
cannot help but put forth negative thoughts. Man is originally
a spirit from God and is the highest being among living things.
It is just that our negative thoughts have accumulated due to
the habitual customs developed over a long period of time.
That is why I reason that these thoughts which have wandered
away from the mind of God in the past manifest as vanishing
images in the present; we must recognize them as being vanishing
images. I then urge people to throw themselves into the
thought, MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH, which is a
noble thought in wishing for the peace of all mankind and to
change one’s thought to acquire this good habit.
Man comes from the highest mind of God; the Great Life
vibration which is light itself transmits and flows throughout
the spiritual, astral and physical bodies. If we continue to direct
our accumulated thought energies always toward the mind of
God and continue to live our lives with thoughts of assimilating
with the mind of God, that person’s life becomes one which
manifests only the virtues, similar to life in the divine world.
One’s character will also become noble. In doing so, one can
live a peaceful life for there will be no room for astral beings to
intrude.
In addition, within the astral world there are souls who have
lived an erroneous life and have fallen to hell, and there are
those who do not recognize yet that they have died and have
come to the astral world. They conceal the light of God and
possess the physical bodies of those people on earth who have
wandered far from God. Though they may be of an affable
138
ESOTERIC MATTERS
nature, they possessp eople who do not know the truth of God
and who have a large vibrational sphere. Even in this case, as
long as we have our thoughts directed toward the mind of God
at all times, such incidences will terminate without any effect.
Here again, I expound on the existence of Guardian Divine
Deities (refer to my book God and Man). As long as one practices
the Prayer for World Peace ceaselesslya nd continue to
give thanks to Guardian Divine Deities, I explain that there
is no fear of being possessed by astral being.
Concentrating on Cultivating One’s Character
Then again, there are religiously inclined men who haphazardly
desire spiritual powers. They see through and guess the thoughts
of men, make various predictions and produce fear among
people. There are instances when these men are possessed by
living beings in the astral worlds; they are proud as if they
themselves are in the position of God. Although some astral
beings have accumulated much ascetic disciplines while in this
world, there are souls of ascetic devotees who cannot transcend
the astral realm due to the inferiority of their characters. Such
souls rejoice over the fact that certain physical bodies are easily
usable and possess the physical bodies of such people. There are
cases when the possessed acquire positions of being highly respected
by others in the world. However, those who have become
founders of religious groups and leaders on these grounds,
have not been given their positions based on the nobleness of
their characters. Their spiritual powers will soon diminish and
they will become victims of the ascetic devotees and living beings
in the astral world who have possessed them producing a
pitiful end.
There is nothing wrong in entering religion and having curi-
139
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
osity toward the esoteric world. However, it is important to
research the world of esoterics by holding, above all, the development
of one’s spiritual nature and inner self as one’s primary
objective. Furthermore, it is also important to keep in mind the
cultivation of one’s character at all times.
The most dangerous thing is to try and acquire spiritual powers
at once as if trying to be successful without any efforts.
Above all it is necessary to place the cultivation of one’s character
as one’s primary objective, continue to live a life of exalted
prayer—like the Prayer for World Peace— and to practice the
act of rendering services to others. While continuing these practices,
if God feels that a particular person needs spiritual powers,
it will naturally be granted through the discretion of his
Guardian Divine Deities. These things are best to take the direction
of being granted through divine help. My primary object
was the perfection of my character and to give myself up to
mankind. However, I have been granted with spiritual powers
as those of today.
The worst thing is to be over zealous in all matters. Diligence
from day to day is important to the path of religion . Moreover,
it is important to pray from moment to moment with a sincere
mind while devoting oneself to his daily life.
Truth for man is to live within the mind of God at all times.
Therefore if one enters into the mind of God with a prayerful

of God, it is certain that he will ultimately attain greatness.
Everyone, let’s live by giving daily thanks to our Guardian
Divine Deities, to heaven and earth, to the air, water and food.
A life of thankfulness is what brings joy to the gods.

MALEVOLENCE, VIRTUE AND
THE UNIVERSAL MIND
The Instinct of Self-Preservation
The world of mankind has always been engaged in relativistic
struggles all along creating unhappiness and misfortune.
Thoughts of selfish desires which stein from the instinct of
self-preservation is at the root of relativistic struggles between
individuals, between groups and between nations.
The instinct of self-preservation in itself is not a malicious one
for man can protect himself because of it.
However, it becomes an act of malice when one hurts and
injures others for the purpose of protecting oneself. Such are
the acts of selfish desires, and the unharmonious waves which
are emitted by these thoughts of selfishness become primary
factors in corrupting this world.
The Vietnam War was a result of a clash between the selfcentered
thoughts of the United States and that of the communistic
bloc as North Vietnam, the Soviet Union and China.
The Vietnamese who served the battle field were put in a miserable
position, a situation pitiful beyond measure.
Seen from the viewpoint of the right, there was a reason and
seen from the left, there was a reason as well. As long as nations
and groups try to carry through with their own desires, the
141
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
state of war will not vanish and killings among fellow men
will continue.
There was once a forum on the Vietnam War shown on
television. Listening to the theoretical explanations given by
each of the leading speakers, a lady shouted in a raging voice.
She stated that many were dying from bombs every day so instead
of theoretical and ideological issues, she insisted that the
debate be focused on ways to terminate this miserable situation.
Indeed, it goes without saying that it is far more important to
terminate the actual situation of war than to debate over theories
and ideologies.
However, since war is the result of clashes between the egos
of one another, this situation will not come to an end until each
withdraws his own ego. The conscience of this world has not
yet diminished the egos of both encampments. This is what is
called karma; it cannot be extinguished by theories, debates or
protests but by the Great Light of God. This is the only
method.
From an objective point of view, war seems ridiculous indeed,
bringing no merit. It drives the soldiers of one’s homeland to
death, kills the people of other nations, destroys large areas of
land and numerous resources, harms the earth and spreads fear
throughout the world. To the country in question however,
such conditions of war seem to be issues which are “needs that
have no law”.
What is it that must be attained even through the sacrifices
of war? For the United States, the issues of honor had been
foremost. However, in the case of the outbreak of the Vietnam
War, instead of allowing the influences of communism to
permeate to the proximities of her homeland, she thought of
fighting it off in distant Asia and Vietnam was chosen for this.
142
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
For Vietnam, it can be explained as none other than destiny.
The people of Vietnam, then, were the victims of conflicts
between principles.
Communist countries such as the Soviet Union and China are
governed by authoritarian politics and those who oppose this
central power are immediately cast away into the darkness.
Since it is one in which the freedom of individuals are restricted,
judging from the nature of freedom, which is the mind of God,
it is false politics. However, the act of confronting these ideologies
with military forces because they are wrong, cannot be
said to coincide with the mind of God. As a result of the Vietnam
War, the United States who boldly took this act caused
fear and restlessness within the hearts of her people and caused
each country to look upon her with critical eyes as well. By
observing these facts, we can well understand that the methods
taken by the United States were erroneous.
Being attached to her own advantages, the United States
disregarded the sacrifices of other countries. It was a mistake
in trying to protect her own country; a mistake based on
selfish desires.
On the other hand, it was also best for North Vietnam to
come to terms with South Vietnam through discussion. However,
they tried to settle it through military force and so created
a war through arrangement with the liberation army. This was
also a mistake caused by an attachment to principles. In thinking
only of the profit of one’s country and having no consideration
for the profit of others, it was a mistaken road lacking in love.
In any event, it is fine of course to protect oneself, one’s country
and one’s race. However, when the thoughts of self-protectionism
start leaning toward self-centered thoughts, a malicious
road will be taken; a mistaken road which destroys the har-
143
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
mony of the earth and goes against the revolution of the universe.
What is Virtuous and What is Malevolent ?
I call malevolent, those deeds which go against the harmony
of the earth, and I call virtuous those deeds which reflect
the mind of the universe as it is. The mind of the universe is
always directed toward harmony and if an unharmonious event
occurs, universal energies are focused on gaining harmony
at once. Everything moves in this way minutely, from the
world of atoms to the revolution of the stars of heaven.
The earth is one star which reflects the mind of the universe.
Mankind is the divided life from the Great Life born through
the union of heaven and earth. Therefore, the earth itself, as
well as mankind, should aim toward reaching the harmony of
the mind of the universe and advance forward. It is none other
than acts of malevolence to live disturbing the harmony of
the universe as we are today with the egos of individuals
and nations.
Even though an action may have seemed righteous for one
particular group, if this group had looked upon other groups
as their enemies and performed acts of killing, what seemed to
be a minor righteous deed becomes a deed of malevolence
when seen from a universal sense.
Acts of burglary and murder are considered by everyone to
be acts of misconduct. In punishing such a case in which the
criminal himself acknowledges the acts of his wrong doings,
the punishment in itself serves to eradicate his malevolent conduct.
It serves to erase the cause which disturbed the harmony
of the mind of the universe. In such cases, punishments do not
become measures which disturb harmony. There are cases when
’44
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
a doctrine or a religion may be in the wrong. If these religions
or doctrines are judged as enemies and rivalries break out, unharmonious
waves of conflict will be stirred up. Seen objectively,
even if they may be false doctrines or religions, they are
omnipotent for those who follow them. Acts of rivalry cause
bitternesst oward the enemy and make it absolutelyd ifficultt o
align with the waves of the mind of the universe.
Even if others are in the wrong, we should not oppose them
with thoughts of antagonism. We should attain the mind of
virtue aligned with the universal mind. As virtue is the mind
of harmony itself, we should aim at attaining this mind. Moreover,
it is important to receive others from this standpoint of
mind and, as I always mention, prayer becomes indispensable
at this stage.
The words of prayer, MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON
EARTH, is a prayer absolutely necessary in order to gain a
broader perspective.
When speaking of virtue, I recall the words of Shinran,*
“Even virtuous men are saved, even more so an evil man.”
The virtuous men referred to here by Shinran are those who
have not actively performed any malevolent deeds but who
are far from the harmonious mind of God; they feel it unnecessary
to appeal to God or Buddha for they feel they have done
nothing wrong. They are men who possess arrogant frame of
minds; men whose minds have wandered from the universal
mind. We must remember that man is let to live at the mercy
of many sacrifices.
Even for a moment, we cannot live life without having to
kill some living insects. There are countless crimes we have
committed without our knowing. For this reason it is neces-
* Shinra(n1 173-126J3a)p:a nesfeo undeorf t heB uddhiTstr ueP ureL andS ect.
145
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
sary to give thanks at all times to God and to all things as well.
Shinran has likened those who have no thankfulness nor introspection
to the virtuous men in his saying, “even virtuous
men”. The malevolent men in contrast here, signifies those
who see themselves as being evil on the contrary; they always
introspects and possess the frame of mind of atonement for
their wrong doings.
Unlike the spurious virtuous men discussed above, men who
live with the mind of the universe reflected as it were within
their deeds, are existences small in number. In order to become
such a virtuous man, the practice of prayer becomes important.
The Earth within the Universe
Within the universe, there are a number of constellations and
innumerable stars. One by one from the realm of stars, the
great harmonious mind of the universe has been giving birth
to harmonious stars and planets. At present, it is the turn of
planet earth to reach perfection.
In the beginning a material substance called earth was created
and human beings clothed in physical bodies were conceived .
Earth and human beings were originally of a divine nature.
However, the disadvantages present in possessing material bodies
have become what we call karma and the original sin;
karmic waves have become sources for the unhappiness and
misfortunes of mankind. The tragedies of mankind represent
but a single drama which takes place during the process of the
infinite evolution and expansion of the Great Universe . At
first, we were transformed from a divine nature to a material
substance. However, we are to evolve to a state in which we
can perform the functions identical to that of a divine nature
while still possessing a material body.
146
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
We are on our way to perfection at present. Given this reason,
there will come a time when earth mankind will eventually
be able to live the mind of the universe as it is; heaven on
earth will manifest for the first time. Because we are on our
way there at this time, unhappiness and misfortunes appear as
the gap between the divine nature and the physical body. They
have been appearing to individuals, nations and races. However,
our Guardian Deities are working in our place to disintegrate
our unhappiness and misfortunes. They are working above us
to prevent these tragedies from taking place.
From the human side, we need to continue to give thanks to
our Guardian Divine Spirits at all times and exchange our
thoughts, from the confines of the waves of unhappiness and
misfortune, to the realm of light vibration. In doing so, it will
become easier for our Guardian Divine Spirits to protect us and
work to diminish our unhappiness and misfortunes. This holds
true even for nations and races. What becomes of issue here
is the question of how many people are living while giving
thanks to our Guardian Divine Spirits.
The Great Universe revolves while continuing to go through
evolutions. Before physical human beings inhabited the planet
earth as material bodies, there were various living creatures
who existed to lay the foundations for the arrival of physical
man. Till this day, there are many living creatures who still
exist as they were at that time. Then again, even prior to this,
even before the world had materialized, the essence of the earth
existed within the world of delicate wave vibrations which
differ from those of material waves.
This
As I
World Is Made Up of Wave Vibrations
always mention, everything in this world is
147
made up of
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
waves. Within this world of wave vibrations, there are countless
numbers of tiers and levels of every kind. Material earth as
well as physical human being is but one manifestation of these
countless tiers of wave vibrations. We can say that there are
an endless number of vibrational worlds working within this
universe. The earthly world at present is taking the form of the
material world and physical man as its means of manifestation;
it is continuing its evolution within the shape of physical man.
Physical man seems to be living individually as physical man,
however, he meddles with the positive as well as negative
waves coming from the various world of waves. The energies
which move physical man himself, to create, think and to act,
circulate within the world of waves as they are. There, they
attract similar waves of others and return once again to each
person creating his destiny. These are the waves of cause and
effect mentioned in Buddhism.
In the first place, the physical body itself is made up of
atoms, electrons and particles which become waves all the same
when pursued deeper. Therefore, we can deduce that the mind
and the physical body, as well, are waves. This is a point which
must be considered foremost. What is seen as a material body of
some six feet or so is constantly transfiguring. The scientific
proof that we are made of surging waves must fundamentally
change the universal sense of man. It is clear that we have confronted
such an age.
It is true that Buddha Sakyamuni said that human beings are
indulging in absurd ideas, that they are in other words, standing
on their heads. This means to say that the physical body is
not the true image of man; but that it is the nature of “divine
man” that manifests in this world through the wave vibrations
of the physical body. Explained in other words, it means that
148
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
true man is the embodiment of God and Buddha within the
world of the delicate wave vibrations of the universe. In order
to evolve this material earth, divine men have descendedf rom
heaven to the world of rough waves where they function as
physical man.
However, physical man at present looks upon the physical
world as the only reality and passes his time not knowing at
all about the other wave spheres; that of the world of God and
spirits and about the world of the true form of man. Left the
way things are, the earthly world will not attain an evolution
beyond this stage. After simply flourishing her material culture
and civilization up till this day, she will have to see her downfall.
If this is the case, the earth will not accord with the Universal
God (the mind of the universe), who presides over this Great
Universe. The mind of the God is planning to evolve the various
world of waves. When evolution is perfected, we will
have a mind that can enter the divine wave sphere of the mind
of God while living in our terrestrial wave sphere; divine wave
sphere which is eminent, extensive and delicate itself. So far,
amebas have evolved variously into animals and then into
mankind. We must switch this evolution this time around to
the evolution of the world of the mind and spirit. In this way,
the world of materials and the world of the mind will harmonize
crosswise—verticallayn d horizontally—whereuponth e
mind of God will manifest its complete form.
The Road of Oneness with God
Now we will revert the story back to the title of malevolence
and virtue. We can say that virtue is the mind bound for the
direction which aligns with the divine evolution of mind and
149
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
spirit, and malevolence to be the mind which hinders this evolution.
As I have mentioned previously, material substances do
not exist in the world which is felt by the five senses of physical
man alone. Material waves exist in the various tiers of the
world of waves. Spiritualists often spiritually envision the divine
world and picture mountains, rivers, grasses, trees as well
as Shinto shrines. These shapes of course differ from the material
substances of the earthly world, however, it is not incorrect in
saying that they are nonetheless the images composed of material
wave vibrations; it is just that the quality of their waves differ.
This Great Universe is made up of vertical and horizontal
assemblage of waves much like a checkerboard grid. Simply
speaking, we can say that vertical waves represent the spiritual
and that horizontal waves represent the material. However, we
have just explained it in the most simplified fashion in actuality,
it is not so simple a matter. Spirits and materials are born as a
result of truly complicated functions. The source of waves can
be found within the functions of the universal mind and the
deities who comply with this mind.
In the Cosmionic Wave Science which we are researching,
we can describe in details the scientific explanations of this gap
between divine and material with numerical formulas and
graphs. However, since it is not at a stage to be announced in
full, I wish to explain a portion of it at intervals.
We must keep in mind that man, while living as a physical
being on earth, is in reality functioning in other wave spheres
and communicating with other wave spheres. It is important to
direct one’s thoughts to a higher and deeper wave sphere at all
times and to allow high and deep wisdom and abilities to flow
in. In terms of our spiritual condition, if we try to place our
thoughts within the mind of God at all times, a high and bright
ISo
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
condition can be maintained at all times; we will not attain
a weak mind which becomes pessimistic or discouraged. In
order not to be contracted with neurosis or mental disorders,
it is best to seek after oneness with God through the ceaseless
practice of the Prayer for World Peace so that you may have
confidence in the faith that you are always being protected by
your Guardian Divine Deities.
The road toward oneness with God begins and ends with
thankfulness toward our Guardian Divine Spirits. The act of
thankfulness toward our Guardian Divine Spirits and the
Prayer for World Peace is a deed the most virtuous and truthful.
It can be said that I have become what I am today by this
sole act of giving thanks to God.
The Mind of Harmony
In all ages, there are people who do not render services to
others, people who talk indiscriminately of others and continue
to talk as such about his company, society and government.
Such people represent the epitome of pity. The more he
complains and grumbles, the more he will be reducing his own
merits; he is a person who has stepped away from the Law of
the Universe.
As I have previously mentioned, the Law of the Universe is
constantly moving toward Great Harmony. To complain and
grumble, to criticize and condemn onself and others, is to run
counter to the Great Universe. Regardless of how wrong the
politics of a government is, if one talks ill about them indiscriminately
with thoughts of complaints and grumbles, he
will only be hurting himself. It is not an unjust act to correct
the policies of the government, therefore , it should be done
frankly with brightness and dignity.
Is’
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Without hurting and harming ourselves and others, we
should advance the path we believe in in all matters. There
are some who criticize and condemn others for not being able
to accomplish things which even they themselves cannot accomplish;
these are people of petty minds.
What is most important for man is the mind of harmony.
Just as the Law of the Great Universe is directed toward Great
Harmony, it is best for the mind of man likewise to be in
harmony at all times.W hile distinguishingt houghtsw hich promote
harmony as being virtuous, and the thoughts which disrupt
harmony as being malevolent, it is important to pray in
order to reveal the mind of virtue.
As I always mention, when minds of evil appear, regard
them as vanishing images of your thoughts from past lives. Do
not be attached to the evil mind forever but learn to throw
those negative thoughts all together into the Prayer for World
Peace. Through this repetition, your mind will become one
of radiance.
There is one interesting story concerning the issue of good
and evil.
It was a story told by a friend of my wife’s who had returned
from Zaire in Africa (Congo). She told us that education was
not widespread in the surrounding areas of Zaire; the people
could hardly count numbers which were easily countable by
small children if they had been Japanese. Moreover, since there
were only a few who were literate, there were no mailmen.
She continued to explain that their sense of right and wrong
were completely different from those of the Japanese. On one
occasion when a Caucasian had his shirt stollen, she said that
the ruling of the court was truly a farce. Such was the ruling:
“The fact is that one is a possessoro f many shirts and the other
152
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
has none. It is not much of an issue for one, who has many, to
give to another who has none. Therefore, give him the shirt.”
Hence, the person who stole the shirt was not accused and that
was the conclusion of the affair. A truly unbelievable ruling was
reached.
It was truly a communistic decision. The deed of stealing the
goods of another which seems wrong from our eyes, was pardoned.
According to this case, it becomes wrong for those who
possess to refrain from giving to those who have not. Then
again, there was a Japanese acquaintance of mine who acted in
a similar way to this judge. In response to certain man who came
to ask for the payment of his debts, my friend said with force,
“I’m poor as it is. Why does a rich man as yourself try to take
money from a man who has none?” The story goes that it was
the man who loaned the money that retreated in a flurry. However,
when my friend made money, he returned his debts to
his creditor with quite a lot of interest attached, so it is somewhat
different from the story from Zaire.
It is unclear where to set the standards for right and wrong
when we listen to such stories. We can say that it is set according
to the concience, wisdom and knowledge of the people.
We cannot make a sweeping judgement of right and wrong
from the course of events of a given situation alone while disregarding
the nature of the society and its people.
I teach people not to be overly attached to good or to evil.
Instead of dealing with insignificant good and evil, I feel it
more important to concentrate on fundamental good and evil.
If one adheres too much to the minor good and evil, he will
become a person who is fussy, narrow-minded and petty; a
person unable to perform broad and bigger functions.
153
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Don’t Limit Yourself to the Physical Body
There are people who indiscriminately criticize and condemn
others, while assuming the air of virtuous men; the more they
criticize others, the more repulsive they seem. It is necessary to
become a person with deep love possessing a big broad mind of
neither criticizing nor condemning oneself or others; a person
who forgives oneself and forgives others, and loves oneself and
loves others.
As I have mentioned earlier, while being unaware, we may
have hurt or have harmed others without our knowing; we
cannot make an assertion that we have not. Therefore, it is
best to pray so that these faults, impurities and wrong doings
may be extinguished by the light of our Guardian Divine
Spirits.
The Prayer for World Peace was born with all of this in
mind. By saying the prayer, MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON
EARTH, night and day, during one’s idle moments of thought,
and by continuing to give thanks to our Guardian Divine
Spirits, no matter what country you may visit or what races of
people you may come across you will be able to assimilate to
their mind and exchange vibrations of love.
We must not view ourselves as physical men limited to the
extent of our stature. To view oneself as such becomes, in itself,
the first step toward evil. When we completely vanish away
our clinging thoughts to material things, and attachments toward
our physical bodies, the deeds of the mind of virtue itself,
connected to the mind of the universe, will manifest within the
daily deeds of that person.
At all events, we are facing an extremely dangerous age at
present. It is an age where we cannot be insensitive to the crisis
of the destruction of the earth. We can say that such an age is
154
MALEVOLENCE VIRTUE AND THE UNIVERSAL MIND
the world of darkness which just precedes the world of light;
a world that will come before long. In order to transform the
darkness of the deepest night into daybreak overflowing with
light one day sooner, we must become “light bodies” ourselves
and thrust forward.
Let’s perceive the truly insignificant goods and evils as
vanishing images and continue to pray for the missions of ourselves
and others as well as for the harmony of countries and
mankind. We must be aware that attachments to good can also
culminate a path which gives birth to evil. Believe that the
mind of God will accomplish all things. When situations of
unhappiness, misfortunes and evil occur, let us place them with
good grace into the Prayer for World Peace as being the vanishing
images of our causes from past lives. Let us live within
the radiant light of such a great mind of virtue.

PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF
MIND CONTROL
The Parapsychological Research of the Soviet Union
As a book entitled, t he Four DimensionaSl cienceo f the Soviet
Bloc, written under the joint authorship of S. Ostrander and L.
Schroeder was sent to me the other day, by its Japanese translator
Minoru Terusu, I took to reading it at once.
On one hand, while the Soviet Union was concentrating
much energy on the exploitation of the universe, they had been
furnishing national funds of close to 8 billion yen in advancing
research in the fields of parapsychology as well.
Up till today the problems of the spirit and the mind have
been regarded as pertaining to the fields of character-building
groups and that of religion. The truth is that in Japan, not one
effort is concentratedo n psychicalo r parapsychologicarle search
as a nation. In Japan, the problems of the spirit are considered
quite seriously, but on the contrary, the problems of the mind
are neglected. The Soviet Union which should be a nation of
materialistici deologiesi s furnishingc lose to 8 billion yen a year
as funds for researching such problems. This fact makes us truly
wonder.
This parapsychologicarle search of the Soviet Union is conducted
under strict scientifico bservationso f authoritatives cientists
with the use of various measuring instruments and movie
156
PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF MIND CONTROL
cameras. Even though these researches deal with the problems
of the four dimensional world and that of the mind, there is no
conception of religious belief whatsoever.
When the topics of psychical powers are mentioned in Japan,
they are considered to be of a religious nature and only a few
scientists have shown interest in the search for the four dimensional
world through spiritualistic mediums, in other words,
the research of psychical science. Moreover, Japan, as a nation,
has had no concern in such matters whatsoever.
Funds are necessary in any kind of research, however, it is
astonishing that the drive of the Soviet Union toward parapsychology
is to the point where research funds of 8 billion
yen are being allocated toward the advancement of its development.
What kind of investigations are involved in the research of
parapsychology? They involve the development of research in
telepathy. We can say that this resembles spiritual communication
techniques of Japanese psychics which includes hypnotism
as well. In addition, this study also entails the research of auras;
it is said that even cancer has been detected by an aura camera.
Experiments are also being conducted in order to sense and size
things up with one’s fingertips instead of using the eyes. There
are various other areas of research being conducted, but what is
most crucial is the fact that the Soviet Union is trying to use
psychic powers and extrasensory powers for the exploitation
of the universe as well as for military affairs.
A materialistic country is working on the cultivation of
numerous psychics and trying to employ these psychic powers
toward the fulfilment of national objectives. This would have
been an unthinkable move in the past.
‘S7
THEF UTUREO F MANKIND
Frightening Remote Telepathy
I would particulary like to mention here about “hypnotic
telepathy”. The fact that the Soviet Union is training many
such psychics with the use of scientific instruments is a serious
matter. When we generally talk of telepathy, it is simply
thought of as being a special ability where the mind of others
can be perceived or an ability in which one’s own mind can
be communicated to those who are at a distance.
This is a grave matter, for these hypnotists will be able to
control others with their own minds in any way they so please.
There is a story in this book where a hypnotist worked his
powers of mind control from a distant range at a lady who
was dancing saying, “You’re falling asleep, you’re falling
asleep.” Then all of a sudden, the lady collapsed and falled to
sleep. Then again, when the hypnotist worked a different control,
it was written that the lady moved exactly according to
that. This means that the thoughts of the hypnotist influenced
the brain waves of that lady as he pleased.
The other day, there was a hypnotist who appeared on Japanese
television. During this program, the hypnotist worked his
tricks on four or five guests and when he did so, the guests
moved exactly according to his suggestions. As the hypnotist
ordered them to “strip the announcer of his clothes”, they immediately
set out to do so. The television then, flashed scenes
of the announcer running about in an attempt to escape them.
At that time, I thought it would be frightening if such practices
gained popularity. if we take a look at the Soviet Union, however,
it is the state itself who is initiating such research.
Through the training of such hypnotists in large numbers,
what will happen if the Soviet Union was to control people of
other nations exactly according to their wishes? This is truly a
158
PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF MIND CONTROL
frightening matter. If a hypnotist motions to kill, the hypnotized
will kill without exhibiting any conscience, and if motioned
to die, they will die without hesitation.
One hypnotist can even work his powers of mind control
on many. If such hypnotism is practiced as a national objective
with the use of a great number of hypnotists, the people of those
inflicted countries will be placed in a dreadful situation. The
Soviet Union is allocating close to 8 billion yen of her national
budget toward the research of parapsychology because such
results will be of great use for the purpose of her national
advantage. So then, we can understand why she is initiating
great energies toward the attainment of such hypnotism.
To discover the powers behind the hidden minds of people
is necessary in itself, as well as being significant, in much the
same way that the discovery of atomic energy was certainly
valuable for the employment of peace.
However, on the contrary, if atomic energy is used in the
making of bombs, it will become a frightening weapon which
might result in the destruction of the earth before long. If
telepathy and hypnotism is used for the objectives of national
defense and the aggrandizement of the authority of a nation,
the same situation which occurred in the case of atomic energy
will take place.
Man will achieve wonderful progress after discovering the
powers hidden within his body and mind only if his findings
are put to use in righteous ways in this world. On the contrary,
if selfish methods and unharmonious ways are incorporated,
mankind will advance toward her self-destruction.
There are times when the abilities hidden within the body
and the mind are cultivated through sports and times when they
are achieved through religious disciplines. However, I believe
’59
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
that the Soviet Union is first in researching methods of developing
the abilities hidden within the body and the mind as being
the undertaking of a nation; the research is also considered
to be a full-scale science. Although such research was being
done in Europe as well as in the United States, I recall that it
has not been undertaken as a national project.
The Foolish Competition of Mind Control
What is frightening about this sort of research of the Soviet
Union is that there is no conception of religion or God at its
source; if these powers are valuable to their country, its practice
will be continued irrespective of the loss of other countries.
The powers of psychical science are unlike the atomic or hydrogen
bombs for the attack is not made openly on the surface;
the enemy can be approached from an undetectable position.
I always mention that material objects as well as our spirits
and all phenomena are made up of waves. When research
in parapsychology is conducted, this very fact will become
clearly evident. Because of the very fact that all things, including
our thoughts, are made up of wave vibrations, people are
able to influence each other by their hypnotic suggestions and
mind control. Those with stronger powers of mind control can
suppress those who are weak making it possible for the stronger
to operate the weaker exactly according to his thoughts.
In line with this saying, “The power of belief bores even
through rock”, experiments are actually being conducted in
which objects are being moved by the thoughts of men.
Material objects have material wave vibrations and mental
thoughts have mental wave vibrations. In other words, wave
vibrations themselves give form to material objects and mental
thoughts. The source of these waves is in a word much deeper
i6o
PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF MIND CONTROL
than ours; coming anywhere from the world of four dimensions
to that of infinite dimensions.
Let’s say that a person named A thinks of something. This
means that there was an energy created there of the effort to
think. This energy transforms into thought waves and works
upon the magnetic field of others or that of material objects.
If this energy is strong enough, the opponent will manifest the
thought exactly as it was projected. Even material objects can
be moved by thought waves. Men of religion explain that there
are spiritual beings working behind each person who control
and strengthen these thought waves. However, within the experiments
of material scientists, only the thought waves are
captured and measured.
In the olden days, the Brahmin people of India looked upon
these activities as the art of magic and actively carried on mind
control wars. When one elevated a rock in mid-air with his
powers of mind control, the other worked his mind to lower
it; they would compete to see whose mind control was the
stronger. If the other started a fire, one would spring forth water
and so they compared their control as such. The image of God
or Buddha, the essence of religion, was not present here. What
was present was the mind control of man and the functions
of the world of demons. Observing these images, Sakyamuni
made his disciples practice the discipline of Ku (Emptiness) so
that they would not be attached to anyone or any matter. He
taught so because with such a state of mind in which one held
pride in his powers of mind control, there was no way one’s
mind could reach the world of God and Buddha by transcending
the physical and astral worlds.
It is very strange that these heretic ways of the Brahmins
have been taken up by present science as the research of para-
161
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
psychology; a research being undertaken by a nation. It is the
Soviet Union who is extensively researching parapsychology at
this time, however, it is said that even China has recently started
similar researches. There is no way that the United States will
tamely let the Soviet Union monopolize this research, for originally
it was she who dealt with it first. Soon enough, however,
the research of parapsychology will be dealt with around the
world and there is ample danger that in place of the atomic
hydrogen bomb competition, the whole world will become
engaged in a mind control war.
Cherish the Mind of God and Buddha at the Foundation
While using the life energies of God, materialistic countries
who do not allow for the existence of God, are using thought
waves in trying to operate the world according to their own
wishes. What kind of consequences will occur in this world
when the thought waves of mutually materialistic countries collide
together? Some of them may perhaps be practicing a form
of religion, however, because they feel that religion has no connection
with the activities of the present world, they will be
performing materialistically just the same.
The harmony of spiritual waves will be destroyed and if this
happens as a matter of course, unharmonious mental waves will
be created. Whether it comes to the destruction of the human
body directly or takes the shape of natural calamities, it will
bring about a frightening situation at any rate.
Being informed that the research of parapsychology was
being conducted in the Soviet Union, I read the book which
was sent to me and keenly realized that we have at last entered
a frightening age.
The tampering with the mind without acknowledging the
162
PRAYEAR ND THEP OWERSO F MINDC ONTROL
existence of God is truly a frightening thing. Tampering with
the four dimensions without the wisdom which harmonizes
and controls the ego of human beings is like the tampering with
the astral world by those who have no deep knowledge; once
they begin to play around, they cannot stop and as they go
deeper they become ensnared in that particular tier not being
able to return to the normal world of common sense. As they
do not recognize God, they cannot go to the world of the Great
Light of God. In this way nations and mankind alike will have
to face difficulties in dealing with the consequences.
Nonetheless, during the course of this parapsychological scientific
research, there are various significant results which take
place such as the blind being able to perceive words and colors
using their fingertips instead of their eyes; the sick recovering
by hypnotical suggestions; the tapping of natural resources;
assistance in the detection of criminals and the rescuing of people
in danger while being at a distance.
Therefore, if this science can develop while cherishing the
mind of God at its foundation, what a safe and promising science
it would be. I am firmly convinced of its benefits yet this
cannot be seen in actual practice at this time.
In psychic phenomena being performed in Europe and
Japan, there is always the recognition of a spiritual being working
behind the psychic medium. It is believed that these spiritual
beings administer the phenomenon and it becomes evident
that they are naturally connected to the higher tiers of the gods
so we can be rest assured. However, the research of parapsychology
of the Soviet Union does not seem to acknowledge
the existence of spiritual beings working behind the psychics.
Moreover, because the Soviet Union is materialistic in her national
character, if she recognizes the existence of spiritual be-
163
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
ings besides the existence of physical man, her materialistic nature
itself will be jeopardized.
At any rate, even if the hypnotized, during the experiments
of the Soviet Union, recognizes the existence of spiritual beings
or God, the hypnotist as well as the nation remains materialistic
till the end. It seems quite clear that they do not recognize
the phenomena which occur during their experiments
manifest in the name of God but regard them as being the result
of the various powers of energy. Whatever else might be
said, this is a regretable point and the seed of our concern.
The fact that the Soviet Union does not recognize the characteristic
of God referred to as the Creator or the Absolute is
truly strange for those who live in the world of religion. So it
must seem to the materialists that those who recognize God, the
Creator and the Absolute, are the ones who are strange.
Within the development of telepathy in the research of
parapsychology, there is what is called remote telepathy. Even
among Japanese religions this technique is used in the healing of
diseased patients. However, in the experiment of the Soviet
Union, remote telepathy is used to move the opponent exactly
according to the thoughts of the hypnotist. As I have
written earlier, I feel that it will likewise create a frightening
situation, if this method is used by a nation for the purpose of
gaining national advantages.
Let’s say for example that if a country named A tries to attack
a plane of a country named B in mid-air, there will be
no need for rockets or guns any longer. If one psychic is not
enough, the country named A will employ a number of them
and continue making hypnotic suggestions by remote telepathy
giving suggestions such as “the pilot will fall asleep, the passen-
164
PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF MIND CONTROL
gers will fall asleep”. Then, the pilot and passengers will fall
asleep and the plane will surely crash.
In this manner, if various hypnotic suggestions are made
using remote telepathy, each country will constantly be driven
to restlessness. Instead of one nation, if many nations were to
confront each other in this manner, the world as it stands will
turn into a picture of hell.
Prayer and the Powers of Mind Control is a Different
Entity
From the past, I have been teaching the horrors of mind control.
Even among those who are practicing religion, there are many
who confuse prayer with the powers of mind control. Within
the lectures of certain religious orders and published works,
there are quite a few instances where prayer and the powers
of mind control are being taught under the same light.
For example, in answering what one can do to gain money
and build a house when necessary, the following answers were
given. “If you want a million yen, think that you have already
been granted a million yen and constantly give thanks to the
fact you have been granted this sum of money. Then, a million
yen will come together by your powers of mind control.”
In another example, it stated like this. “If you want a house,
you should draw a blue print of the house which you seek and
strongly think that, `this house has already been granted to me.’
Then, the house will be granted through the powers of your
mind.” In such a way, some religions are teaching the method
of acquiring what one desires through the use of mind control
by strengthening its powers. They lead others to misunderstand
these methods as being faith in God and prayer.
165
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
These notions are absurd. The powers of mind control are
strictly the ego of physical human beings themselves; it is not
faith in God nor is it assistance from God. Even if one’s wishes
were granted by such a method, it is not the triumph of his
faith but simply the persistence of his ego. You may think that
you have gained a profit at that time; however, it is as if you
have gained an advance from the riches you were to acquire in
a lifetime through your momentary powers of mind control of
that moment. Later on, you will have to repay this amount
within your destiny.
To acquire riches through such methods is not the path of
religion nor of any other. It is none other than the path of
materialistic means. The true mind of God moves man to
transcend his physical body and to unite as one with the mind
of God while possessing the physical body so that he may be
able to incarnate the mind of God upon this earthly world.
No matter if the powers of mind control have resulted in the
gaining of profits at certain places and times, such results have
not occurred out of one’s connection with the mind of God. The
fruits which have been acquired through the ego of physical
human beings show no growth for they simply whirl round
and about within the existence of karma. On the contrary, it
furthers the whirlpools of the karmic world and is nothing but
the act of willingly taking part in the destruction of earth
mankind.
Please think very carefully. To the minds of men at present,
the growth of one’s own self and one’s immediate family is of
primary concern followed by his concern for the advancement
of his mother country. His concern for the happiness of others
and of other countries comes next but his concern seems very
minimal at this point.
166
PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF MIND CONTROL
While people continue to hold sentiments of loving themselves
and their countries over and above others and other
countries, the peace of the world will not come about. These
ways seem logical, but as long as this logic is put to practice as
it stands, the struggles of this earthly world will continue and
the earth will soon reach a destructive state.
The world of religion must take hold here. As I have been
writing up to this point, if the research of the four dimensional
world and even the development of the hidden powers of the
mind and body of man are conducted by thinking in an egocentric,
nationalistic way, it will culminate into the aspects of
horrible war, neglecting the happiness of other people and nations.
Just imagine what a mind control war would bring.
We can say that it will be a real war in itself.
So it was that Buddha Sakyamuni appeared to rid this world
of the destructive aspects of his days. Why must we revive the
practices of the Brahmin age in the name of science and cause
the confusion of the earthly world to become even deeper and
colder? It’s fine as long as telepathy and hypnotism is being
transacted for the happiness of oneself and others but when it
comes to be transacted for the authority of one’s position and
the profit of one’s nation, it will awaken the same fears within
the world as that towards the atomic and hydrogen bombs.
Some do not humbly consider where the source of the
various abilities of human beings stem from. They are arrogant
toward God; they discover, develop and try to use their abilities
in a way that is convenient to themselves. They do not try to
return to God what belongs to Him. By transacting everything
in an egocentric way, it is obvious what sort of destiny will
return to mankind.
I67
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
Reconsider Again the Source of Your Talents and Abilities
We who pray for world peace clearly recognize that the source
of all our abilities and talents lie within the mind of God. In
the physical world as well as the four dimensional world, the
master hands of God are being extended from the infinite innermost
world. One of these hands are functioning as our
Guradian Deities, Guardian Spirits and Cosmic Angels. As I
am aware of these facts in body and mind, whenever I set out
to fulfill any task, I humbly do so in line with the mind of
God and perform with the mind of prayer at all times.
Some believe that physical human beings are master creators;
that his talents, abilities and developments come strictly from
his own powers and that assistances have not been obtained by
any other beings. The research of the four dimensional world
and parapsychology is being conducted through such vain
misunderstandings. We must completely separate ourselves
from these materialistic ways of thinking being used in the
research of the four dimensional world and parapsychology of
the Soviet Union. Instead, we should take the method of
prayer in order to follow the steps leading toward the development
of infinite dimensions through prayer.
Man is equal in the mind of God. In order for all beings to
acquire true happiness, there can be no waves of anxiety or
disharmony present in this world. Herein, it would be unbearable
if the Brahmin-like wars of hypnotism were to commence
between nations.
We hope that mankind will escape from within the whirlpools
of karma even by one more person and recite the words
of prayer, MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH. While
bathing in the Great Light of God, we wish to transmit this
light to the people. I deeply believe that earnest prayer without
168
PRAYER AND THE POWERS OF MIND CONTROL
the struggle of weapons and the powers of mind control is the
only path in incarnating the mind of God on this earthly world.
All anxieties, disharmony and erroneous thoughts which
arise within the mind of oneself and others, are all vanishing
images of the cause and effect of past lives. As they vanish away,
the radiance of one’s True Self (Honshin) will begin to appear.
While earnestly praying the Prayer for World Peace which
connects with the Great Light of Salvation, we wish to do our
best within the affairs of our daily life and be of service to
others. Our movement is a way of life in which the mind of
God is kept in perspective at all times and is a way of life
which helps us to transcend the waves of the karmic cycles of
rebirth.
It is quite adventurous to control others and fulfills the satisfaction
for power, but such is a path which leads to destruction.
The groundwork for the path in which yourself and others
will attain happiness, and the path in which individuals as well
as mankind will attain happiness is constructed through the
practice of the Prayer for World Peace.
As a transmitter of light waves to prevent the corruption of
the conditions of the world, please continue the lifestyle of
true prayer by all means.
No matter what kind of powers of mind control they may
be, they cannot disintegrate the Great Light of the Prayer for
World Peace. Do not use mind control to confront the powers
of mind control in return but confront it with earnest prayers
for peace and with thankfulness to God. This is the only method
to transcend the mind control wars which will become
popular from now on.
Prayer sends forth great light waves of the mind of God;
they are not waves which collide with each other. Prayer is
169
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
the echo which brings about the harmony of people. Therefore,
whether they be the powers of mind control, which overpower
others, their energies are extinguished and become one
of harmony when met with great light vibrations.
There are times when we catch the thoughts of jealousy
and disharmony coining from others during our daily interactions
with people; this has the same effect as the powers of
mind control. Instead of returning the same disharmonious
thoughts back, we should thank the Guardian Deities of others
and pray that their missions be accomplished and say the
Prayer for World Peace. Then the thoughts of those people
will someday be purified and their thoughts of grudge and
disharmony will vanish away.
We are about to reach an age in which we cannot possibly
live without prayer; an age in which we cannot exist without
knowing the true mind of God. It will not be an age of simple
wishes like it has been till today. We are now advancing one
step toward an age of truth in which God and man will unite
as one to evolve the earthly world.

Terror Has its Attractions
Some are attracted to frightening situations despite the terror,
while others have the habit of wishing to know the future at
random. The reasonb ehind the box-offices uccesso f the movie,
the Submersiono f Japan and the tremendous selling rate of
books such as GreatP redictionssi gnifyt he manifestationo f these
thoughts.
There is nothing wrong with the reading or viewing of such
films and books if they are purely for the purpose of reference
and purely the result of one’s curiosity. However, if the
tragedies depicted within these books and movies begin to
appear realistic to the audience and readers, I must say it is truly
an unfortunate matter.
There are many who possesst he idea that one’s destinya s well
as the destinies of societies and nations, is brought about by external
factors. This is a grave misunderstanding for we must
recognize that one’s destiny, as well as the destinies of societies,
nations and that of all mankind is brought about by the accumulation
of the thoughts and deeds of each individual.
I have not seen the movie, the Submersioonf J apan nor have
I read the book, Great Predictions since I have not had any interest.
Nevertheless, people have created such a sensation of it
171
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
and have asked me of its authenticity that I talk to them based
on the outlines I have heard from many of them.
This universe sustains itself primarily through the union of
various wave vibrations.
The great life vibrations are the source of these waves, in
other words, they are light vibrations. By using the energies
of the great life vibrations as the base power, there are many
worlds of waves which are created. The earthly world with its
material waves in which we possess physical bodies is not simply
a fixed material world. It is a world which operates based on
the interchange of the “meeting and parting” of various waves
of every kind.
Unless we understand this, we will incorrectly perceive that
our destinies as well as that of societies are something which
take over us externally.
Predictions are Not Facts
“A
nd God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” As the
foregoing passage reveals, the essence of this world is built upon
the will of God. All worlds are created by the mind of God
which becomes the energy source of all life. By using the life
energies coming from God, man developed his earthly world
which came to be a mixture between the world of the mind
of God and that which is contrary to this mind.
The more the minds of fellow men become unharmonious,
the more this world will wander from the mind of God. There
is much alarm at present that this earthly world will be destroyed
by either war or natural disasters and various predictions have
appeared forecasting the end of the world.
If we think this matter over, whether this earth will be
destroyed or not rests upon the frame of mind held by man.
172
DON’T BE PUZZLED BY PREDICTIONS
This fact becomes quite evident. All predictions are based on
visualizing the thought waves of man. They are not made upon
hard to budge facts. Just because predictions are made, it does
not necessarily mean that they will definitely manifest.
It is most frightening to confine the tragic predictions of
the future of mankind indefinitely within your mind and to
assimilate the waves of your thoughts with such tragic wave
vibrations.
Man’s destiny is formed by his own thought vibrations. The
destiny of mankind, on the whole, is formed by the accumulation
of the thought waves of each individual. If each individual
lives by forecasting a dark and tragic destiny in regards to the
future, mankind will naturally come to create a tragic end.
The dark tragic waves of destiny which have accumulated
from the past reflect upon the mind of predictors and result in
the publishing of such books as Great Predictions. These predictions
will materialize if people accumulate dark tragic thought
waves even on top of their attachments to the dark vibrations
of such books. No matter what the predictions may be, they
are mere predictions and are not realities; they are the accumulation
of thought waves from the past. Therefore, if these
thought waves from the past are vanished away, these predictions
will be overturned.
The path of true religion expounds on such methods of guidance.
All phenomena are vanishing images and all that exists is
the mind of God. As children and divided spirits of God, it is
important to live with the feeling of oneness with God at all
times. Such a lifestyle is the life of prayer.
That which Determines the Future of the World
We describe this lifestyle as the life which practices the “van-
’73
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
ishing image” and the Prayer for World Peace. We ride upon
the words of prayer and enter the Great Light of God, so that
we may completely vanish away the dark thoughts and tragic
thought waves from the past. It is impossible for tragedies and
misfortunes to exist in this world for the mind of God is Great
Harmony. Therefore, we can say that a world of perfected harmony
is constructed within the divine world devoid of all aspects
of struggles and disharmony. Moreover, beings who have
already reached the state of harmony have realized an ideal
society in the divine world. If such an image would only genuinely
manifest in this world, we will also realize a heavenly
paradise. However, this earthly world is concealed by the waves
of karmic thoughts which hinder the future layout of mankind
created by God to appear as it is in all genuineness.
This is not all, for the karmic thoughts (unharmonious
thoughts), which have been stored in the astral world, have
been constructing images of world destruction. Such images
have been made to appear as predictions of psychics.
The book, Great Predictionbs y Nostradamus (1503-1566),
seems to infer that mankind will be destroyed in July of 1999.
Other predictors as well have made predictions of great disasterous
futures of the earth from the olden days. In both of
these cases, they have forecasted such natural calamities as natural
disasters and wars as a result of visualizing the karmic
thoughts of mankind stored in the astral world. Therefore, if
earth mankind continues to live with thoughts as they have
been up till now without altering their worldly views, we cannot
be certain that things will not take place in line with these
predictions.
However, similar to what has been put forth in the Book of
Isaiah in the Old Testament, a harmonized world rests within
174
DON’T BE PUZZLED BY PREDICTIONS
the divine world where lions and sheep roam together. We
can say that the visions of paradise depicted within the divine
world represent the images of the future of mankind where the
climate is constantly temperate and where beautiful plants and
flowers bloom abundantly.
The decision in choosing which world to manifest as our true
world onto this earth rests, at first, upon the shoulders of each
individual of earthly mankind at present. If you wish to create
a world even one step closer to the image of the divine world,
we must try to near the mind of God through the ceaseless
mind of prayer and regard unharmonious thoughts and those
thoughts lacking in love as vanishing images. Thought vibrations
of each and everyone of you at present determine the
destiny of the future of the earth. With bright thoughts filled
with hope, it is important to continue praying for the realization
of world peace. Depending on our mental attitudes alone,
we can better or worsen the destiny of the future to manifest
either good or evil.
In this connection, when I was young, a certain teller who
predicts by skeletal diagnosis held my head and said, “This is
a serious matter. Your skull is overly expanded on both sides
which will eventually lead you to insanity. You will become
insane.” At that time, I was wholeheartedly treading the path
of religion and as I was coming to understand the nature of
God fairly well, there arose no thoughts of fear in the least
even though I was informed as such. Actually, I was overjoyed
on the contrary, for if my bone structures were different from
those of regular people, I thought to myself that perhaps I
would be able to reach enlightenment before others. I remember
courage springing forth from my heart.
Exactly as I had suspected, I did not become insane and I
175
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
was able to reach a frontier hardly attainable under normal
conditions at the age of thirty. However, what appeared to
be trials and hardships by others were not especially trying
or painful for me.
Whether such dark tragic futures are reflected upon the eyes
of psychics and predictors, we can change darkness into light
and tragedies into happiness depending on our mental attitudes
alone. Moreover, there is no way God will needlessly destroy
the great position of earth mankind. In much the same way
as our Guardian Divine Spirits protect our individual destinies,
the Great Light of Salvation is directing all their energies in
trying to assist the evolution of earth mankind.
The Light which Delivers the World
Mankind is a child of God and God is love itself. Why would
God not extend his arms in delivering the earth? We can say
that the Great Light of Salvation is extending both arms without
a doubt for the salvation of the earth.
The Prayer for World Peace is a prayer which was conceived
in order to accomplish the unification between the Great Light
of Salvation and human beings on earth. Whenever the Prayer
for World Peace is recited, the Great Light of Salvation will
shine forth without fail. We must extinguish the unharmonious
waves of tragedies and misfortunes stored in the astral world
with the light vibrations of the Great Light of Salvation . When
the karmic waves of the astral world vanish away , the layout
of the divine world will manifest in this world. They are layouts
which depict heaven on earth; an evolutionally advanced
world of culture created through the free use of Great Harmonized
Science.
We can say that there are infinite number of stars in this
176
DON’TB E PUZZLEDB Y PREDICTIONS
universe with worlds of their own. Some may be stars inhabited
by human beings like that of the earth and there are others
on which dwell beings who are entirely different. Then again,
there may be stars which have achieved tremendous evolution
exhibiting the mind of God in itself or others inhabited by
creatures who are even inferior to animals. Our earth is but one
of these stars inhabited by the present mankind we are familiar
with.
We simply speak of the divine, spiritual and astral worlds
but I think that there are quite a few who wonder where such
worlds exist within the abode of this Great Universe. We must
understand that there are heavenly bodies in this Great Universe
which are perceived by the five senses of man and those
that go beyond our five senses, in other words, there are heavenly
bodies which cannot even be seen by microscope. This
holds true for the earth as well.
Even in the world which cannot be captured by the eyes,
there exists the shallow and the deep world which is again divided
into many levels and tiers. There are various levels and
tiers within the divine world as well as the astral world.
We can say that the Absolute God is the Great Life itself
with infinite wisdom and infinite abilities. In other words,
He is Almighty. However, since the powers of God cannot be
revealed at one time, Almighty God functions through various
deities and gods who display various powers and work as central
figures. In the Kojiki*, various names are given to the deities,
which define the nature of their functions.
The divine functions of the deities are revealed within the
divine world as they are, where the perfected layout of world
mankind has been constructed as well. This layout exists within
* Thea ncienct hronicleosf Japan.
177
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
a higher vibrational world (the original birthplace of physical
vibrations). Such being the case, if there are any barriers caused
by astral vibrations which easily affect the physical realm, the
layout of the divine world cannot genuinely manifest upon
this world of physical mankind.
Let’s Reconstruct Our ]Destinies from Now
Whether it is the divine world or the astral world, all worlds
are comprised of the world of vibrations. While the divine
world is the world of light vibration itself and the astral world
is the world of various desires. The deities are well aware of
these actual situations so they have descended upon the physical
world themselves as Bodhisattvas to teach mankind the true
way of life, and have been working to purify the waves of desires
of the astral world through diverse means of purification
up till today.
Man thinks that he is a sluggish creature with a restrictive
physical body. But in actuality, he is comprised of light waves
having infinite talents and abilities which are emitting light.
Man must convey this fact to many others one day .sooner.
Whether good or evil, this physical world lives while being
affected by a world which cannot be perceived by our eyes.
One’s destiny depends on whether he lives with the light vibrations
of the divine world, the vibrations of the spiritual world
or lives while being covered by astral vibrations.
What is grateful for mankind is the fact that the deities are
helping with the evolution of mankind and trying to prevent
the destruction of earth. The Great Light of Salvation of the
saints and deities who are trying to save mankind are exhibiting
their powerful energies of salvation on a daily basis. Therefore,
if we direct our thoughts toward God from the human side
I78
DON’T BE PUZZLED BY PREDICTIONS
the energies of salvation will work directly toward us in correcting
the destiny of mankind. In this way mankind will be
delivered.
Whether we manifest the perfected future depicted by God
or paint the destructive layout depicted in the astral world onto
this earth, depends entirely on the thought behaviors and deeds
of mankind themselves. What we must not forget here is that
the minds and bodies of physical men are comprised of wave
vibrations and create their own vibrational spheres within this
universe: they are neither fixed minds nor fixed bodies. The
essence of man is in the fact that we can freely be active either
in heaven or on earth, to the right or to the left based on the
power of our will.
By carefully reflecting upon this point, we can reconstruct
our own destinies from now on as well as the collective destinies
of societies, nations and mankind. We do not have to be
attached to our past nor to our self-denying thoughts. Such as
“It will be so because it was so in the past; man is different
from God; it cannot be helped for we are only human.” We
must throw all these thoughts completely into the Prayer for
World Peace and continue to lead our lives.
Our present thoughts create our own destinies as well as
painting the futures of societies, nations and mankind. By confirming
this fact firmly with in our minds, we should not uselessly
spend our days and moments.
Let’s not look back on the past but live with the mind of
love and harmony.
In short, we are at the brink of either the destruction or
salvation of earth mankind in which we are a part. So it is natural
to confront our daily lives with wholehearted determination.
Please fully realize nevertheless, the importance of thought
179
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
vibrations. Direct your thoughts toward the bright future at all
times and be firm upon leading the life of love and the true
mind by loving God and loving yourself.
No matter what words of tragedy or misfortune there maybe,
if you live as men and women of wholehearted love without
harboring the sense of tragedy and dark thoughts within
your mind, such predictions will not come true.
Our lives from day to day will become important from now
on. Although you may have lived in the past by holding
thoughts of tragedies, sorrows and struggles, the affairs of the
past have already entered within the boundaries of vanishing
images. However, if your thought behaviors and deeds from
now on are brightly filled with love through the wholehearted
Prayer for World Peace, even if vanishing images from your
past happen to appear, they will be done away with lightly.
Your thought behaviors and deeds from now on will create
your own future destinies to the end. The destiny of societies,
nations and mankind will also be created by the thought
behaviors and deeds of each and every individual.
We must not attach ourselves to dark tragic predictions. It
is important to lead a life by throwing the notion of all such
predictions into the Prayer for World Peace as being vanishing
images. Men are children of God. Being the parent of men and
women, God has bestowed us with our Guardian Divine Spirits
who are always by our sides. Why would this love of God forsake
us? The destiny of man will become dark and tragic by
turning our back against God from the human side .
Let us all direct our thoughts firmly to God . Let us allow our
minds and bodies granted by God to function according to the
mind of God completely . The mind of God is the mind of
light, love and harmony .
I8o
DON’T BE PUZZLED BY PREDICTIONS
The Prayer for World Peace manifests this mind of God
expressly. All we need to do is to continue the Prayer for World
Peace with devoted hearts and live our daily lives cheerfully
with deep love. Happiness of the future belongs to such people.
As fellow members of the Prayer for World Peace increase,
the future of earth mankind will become brighter in proportion,
whereupon all such dark predictions will vanish away.
Return to the Origin of the Creation of the Universe
Let’s reflect upon the origin of the birth of the Great Universe.
It is clear that the mind of the Great Universal God created all
things. “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
As this passage implies, all things come into being by the mind
of God and the words of God. This means that no one is able
to create phenomena except for God.
By the very fact that men are children of God, we can say
that the creative powers of God are working within us. Therefore
we should be making similar creations to God in our daily
lives leaving no room for the creation of evil and tragedies.
However, there are many images of disharmony and tragedies
in this human world and misfortunes are taking place everywhere
and at all times.
What is the reason for this? It can be clearly understood.
It is because man did not direct his powers of creativity working
within him toward the mind of God but advanced in a
direction leading away from the mind of God. Although mankind
is entirely one within the mind of God, individuals, nations
and races have not accorded with each; this has led to the
direction leading away from the mind of God. Men have
moved in search of their own advantages in a direction contrary
to each other, which has caused to divide the mind of
I8I
THE FUTURE OF MANI{IND
God. In this way the creative powers of mankind came to discord
with the harmonious creative powers of the mind of God.
In other words the mind of mankind has wandered quite far
from the mind of God, and has constructed a selfish world distant
from the mind of God.
Eventually, with things as they are, the power of God will
not be able to function onto mankind and it is certain that
mankind will be destroyed with the passing of every year.
This is because there is complete nothingness in regions unreachable
by the power of God.
Therefore, if mankind wishes to create true peace and construct
a happy world, I propose that they must, at first, re-direct
their thoughts entirely toward the mind of God. What good
is it to collapse at the words of tragic and unfortunate predictions
without directing your thoughts to the mind of God,
which is the origin of the life of mankind and the source of
the powers of creativity?
We are at a point in time where this earthly world cannot be
saved by physical mankind alone. How can mankind ever save
the war between the Arabs and Israel? Although there may be
recesses in their fighting, given the present state of affairs within
the United Nations, I feel that the harmony of both parties
will never be attained. With respect to the relationship between
the United States and the Soviet Union, between China and
the Soviet Union, and between the United States and China,
I feel that none of them will possibly reach total harmony
through the efforts of physical mankind alone.
If this cannot be done by physical mankind, who will work
to fill in this gap? As I always mention, there is no other way
than through the assistance provided by our Guardian Divine
182
DON’T BE PUZZLED BY PREDICTIONS
Spirits. It is for this purpose that our Guardian Divine Spirits
have been working above us from the olden days.
The Great Light of Salvation which includes each and every
Guardian Divine Spirit, in other words, the Great Power of
Salvation of the Great Universal God for the purpose of saving
mankind, will assist the evolutionary advancement of our earth
mankind. For this purpose, within all functions including religion,
science and politics, various prominent individuals will
also come forth. We are working as poineers to promulgate the
Prayer for World Peace with wholehearted determination.
183
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF
WORLD PEACE
Times are Changing by the Minute
The changes Japan has gone through up to the present since the
periods before, during and after the war are remarkable. It
seems as though her progress has taken place overnight. Mr.
Yokoi and Onoda* were shocked and amazed at these tremendous
changes of Japan and they must have spent their days in
bewilderment for some time.
Taking many points into consideration, be it major or minor,
the fundamental cause of these changes lie in the education of
the society and schools. It is due to the activities of the political
tactics of the United States and the rapid infiltration of the
European tide. Even the good and bad Japanese trends from
the olden days gradually changed themselves in color. A world
which would have been inconceivable before the war began to
unforld in Japan: the new world was soon absorbed in the
enjoyment of selfish freedom with the coming of such notable
changes as in the coeducational system within the schools and
she saw her social framework fall under the indiscriminating
assertion of priviledges in the name of democracy.
However, these transitions are not in the negative aspects

THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
alone. As a positive aspect, ladies who have had to shut thcir
thoughts within themselves without being able to express their
wishes were now able to do so with frank and bright attitudes.
Furthermore, the disparity among the impoverished decreased;
and everyone started to express their individualistic qualities.
It seemed that the path leading toward the progress of the
future had been unfolded.
In short, the change between the present and that of the
period before and during the war can be seen in the lifestyles
of the people; a lifestyle which had once leaned toward formalism
had become practical, and the trends in which duties
preceded rights have altered to one in which rights precede
duties.
However, there is a change far more serious than these which
is starting to occur at the present time. There is reason to believe
that this change has the tendency to extend itself more and
more.
Due to the development of material science which has given
birth to a weapon, a mass murder weapon, there are people who
have come to hold doubts toward the development of material
science in the future. They have turned their thoughts to the
areas of mental science and have begun to explore, in depth, the
movements of the mind. Lately, the operations of the mind such
as hypnotic suggestions and telepathy, in other words, extrasensory
powers, have come to be broadcasted on T.V. even in
Japan almost on a daily basis.
I believe that the beginning of mental science was in Europe.
However, research experiments which have developed within
the United States and Europe among nongovernmental circles,
are being conducted in the Soviet Union as a national project
with the allocation of tremendous national funds.
185
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
From Material Emphasis to Mind Application
Some experiments on extrasensory perception were broadcasted
on T.V. in Japan though people regarded them as topics of
ridicule. The other day an Israeli named Uri Geller arrived in.
Japan. He was able to repair broken watches and freely bend
spoons which were in Japan while he himself was in Canada. I
was surprised with his powers of mind control and reconsidered
again the great powers of the mind, however, I feel
tremendous apprehension about it. Just about then, there was a
young boy named Jun Sekiguchi who threw two or even three
spoons in the air at one time with his back turned away and
commanded them to bend forward, backward and to distort.
The spoons, then, immediately took shape exactly as Jun had
directed. His father wrote in a journal that Jun would throw
wires into the air and commanded them to take the shapes of
flowers and airplanes; the wires would then fall to the ground
in exactly the shape as Jun had suggested.
Then again, it is interesting that some thirty boys who were
imitating Jun bending spoons on T.V. were able to do so themselves.
It is said that such incidences of extrasensory powers
have escalated and are being performed one after the other.
However, it is truly dangerous for they are being performed
without understanding of a righteous mind.
Again, people were surprised furthermore at the miracles
performed on T.V. by a man named Creskin. He displayed
various extrasensory powers by freely moving the physical
bodies of people by hypnotic suggestions; and made UFOs
appear to a number of people as if it existed, although it could
not be seen in real life. He further guessed the contents of letters
and opened the locks to safes by telepathy.
As the work of extrasensory powers through mind applica-
’86
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
tion are shown on T.V. day after day in this manner, the hidden
extrasensory powers of viewers will be drawn out and
revealed to the open. We can clearly see this possibility if we
consider the fact that, before one knew what was happening,
the extrasensory powers of some thirty boys were triggered by
watching Jun bending spoons on T.V.
We can well understand through these incidences that from
the age of emphasis on materialism, this world has at last
entered the age of mind application. It is certain that the next
Uri Geller, Creskin and Jun Sekiguchi juniors will follow into
being. Soon in this world, the controling of materials to a
certain degree by the powers of mind control will be regarded
as a matter of course.
An age is about to come in which the “mind” which has
been hidden behind the shadows of “materials” up till now,
will clearly rise to the surface. Just because the age of mind application
has come, we cannot be overjoyed, without reserve,
in thinking that things have improved since the days of material
emphasis.
The Dangers of the Extrasensory Boom
Even if the trends of this world transfer from the powers of
materialism to the powers of the mind, they only amounts to
powers, none the less, which function relativistically. If these
powers of mind control work upon others to rob their freedom,
the victims will inevitably become slaves to the controllers.
As I have written earlier, if anyone can come to work the
powers of mind control against the minds of people through
telepathy, it will result in a mind control war which aims at
moving the opponent exactly as one pleases.
An all-around materialistic society causes much pain. How-
1 87
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
ever, an all-around “mental” society will be just as troublesome
for if everyone tries to carry on affairs using their powers
of thought, this world will inevitably lead itself toward antagonistic
disputes between the powers of mind control.
Then a life of fearful confusion will have to be lead in which
neither side can loose guard of their thoughts even for a
moment.
As long as there exists the notion of relativistic thinking and
the instinct of self-preservation it will be the use of mind control
which is entirely contrary to the mind of God; one’s personal
advantages will be of major priority and anything that
stands in the way of attaining one’s merit will immediately be
denounced. This in itself will become a path which will lead to
mental control wars.
The surface war of the past war between bombs , will progress
into a hidden struggle between minds themselves. If
things continue the way they are, it will be beyond rescue.
These arc the reasons why we cannot be overly joyous in
entering the path of science; from all-around materialism to
a path which attaches great importance to the mind.
No matter which path is taken, be it materialism or mentalism,
if the spirit of love and harmony is not working at its core,
the destruction of mankind cannot be avoided. In short, a true
world of peace will be constructed only when we see an increase
in number among those people who are firmly connected
to the mind of God and live with the spirit of love
and harmony.
Be it materially or mentally, if we live in a way that lacks
harmony, we cannot say that we are walking the path which
gives birth to a true world of peace. I frequently come across
those mentalists who lack in harmony . They do not try to
188
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
listen to the stories of others but continue to expound on themselves.
We tend to feel exhausted after having been with these
types of people for no less than an hour.
If we cling on and overly attach ourselves to material objects
or mental thoughts in thinking that they will give us “the
answer”, we will only be obscuring the unrestricted echoes of
the mind of God.
The Interchange with God is Foremost
Although we simply refer to the mind, there are minds which
attend to material substances, in other words, the physical body,
and those that attend to the astral body. The saying, “The
power of belief bores even through rock” refers to the powers
of mind control which attend to the astral and physical bodies.
The mind which I wish to talk of is the mind which functions
from within the mind of God. This mind is the echo of love,
beauty and harmony in every respect.
Neither do mind application nor the powers of mind control
used for selfish purposes represent the functions of the true
mind. The true mind works out of the absolute mind of God
and is of service for true world peace.
The people of this world, whether they work physically or
mentally, have an attachment of working entirely for oneself
and kin. However, the nature of the work which truly longs
for world peace casts away, at first, the notion of oneself and
one’s social circle. It is to function according to the mind of
God; It is to function the mind of God directly onto this
world.
Since the act of casting our thoughts away is quite difficult,
we can throw these thoughts into the prayer for the love of
mankind, such as the Prayer for World Peace, and live with
189
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
the feeling of receiving everything anew from the mind of
God.
When our material objects and mind which have attended
to us have completely merged within the mind of God, we are
no longer entrapped in the relativistic storms of karma but
become those who are children of God. We no longer function
with a plain mind but work as the mind of God itself.
Without a vertical connection with God, even if we try to
construct and repair this world with mental waves which only
function horizontally, it will only lead to relativistic means
and will become struggles between the powers of mind control;
unless, at first, we climb vertically and interchange with the
mind of God and descend from there to function horizontally,
we cannot perform the true functions of world peace.
With the activities of the mind which leave the physical ego
in this world as it is, we cannot possibly attain the activities of
true world peace. We will go on to spread the antagonistic
deeds of war here and there.
Seen from the materialistic sense, the fact that this world is
about to entertain a boom in extrasensory powers appears to
be a step toward progress. However, seen from our eyes,
it feels as if it will, on the other hand, lead the world to a
frightening situation.
Love and Harmony is the Essence
Unless the acts of love between men and the acts of harmony
between nations are put into practice in this real life, neither
can materialism nor the work of mental thoughts bring about
the true peace of the world. No matter what reasons may be
given, if they disrupt the acts of love and the waves of harmony,
they are not paths which open the way to true world peace.
190
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
It goes without saying that an act which leads another country
into a state of disharmony for the purpose of gaining national
profits is an act which should be evaded by all cost. In the
case a foreign country disturbs the harmony of your country
to gain national advantages, you will be magnifying the disharmony
even more by choosing to confront this offensive act
with the use of military force and the powers of mind control.
You will only be entangling in the karmic waves of the other
country. These were the practices of our historical past till this
present age and if they remain unchanged, we will near the
destruction of earth.
This is an extremely difficult point for there will be questions
raised as to how one is to sit in silence without making any
defensive preparations while being invaded by another county.
A war is a war even if it is for the purpose of protecting one’s
own country. At the present, being the age of atomic bombs,
war is of utmost danger and we must absolutely refrain from
protesting with military force.
If this is the case, will we see the deployment of mind control
wars to transcend military force? Will we see the development
of extrasensory powers in line with the Soviet system
such as telepathy and mind control through the allocations of
funds? If the powers of mind control are performed on a national
scale, it is certain that they will surpass the powers of
military force without a doubt. If the powers of mind control
are aimed at an opponent, the opponent will move exactly according
to any hyphotical suggestions made. The military
forces of the opponent will then, on the contrary, become
available to an opposition party. Even if the opponent is a
country of immense military power, there will be no way for
an opposition party to loose. If these powers of mind control
191
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
are used collectively on a national scale, it will come to hold
a tremendous force. However, since such uses of mind power
are purely relativistic forces working against the other, the
opponent will immediately put their energies toward the development
of mind control and telepathy themselves.
The relationship between relativistic powers, be they
military force or mind control, always links to war. So then,
unlike such materialistic powers and mental powers which
serve the physical body, powers which exhibit harmony itself
become indispensable.
People may question as to where such powers exist. However,
it is a fact that they do exist. We are aware of these
powers through inner experience. These powers, in other
words, are the powers of God, His powers of love.
Extrasensory powers and miracles which grow out of the
powers of mind control are powers which function within the
framework of the astral and physical bodies and become relativistic
in the end. But the powers of God are harmonious powers
which come to work for the benefit of all people.
The Development of the Path of Prayer
There may be those who say it is useless to mention the powers
of God at this point. However, what we refer to as God or the
powers of God here is not simply a matter of words alone.
As Moses parted the Red Sea and Jesus opened the eyes of
the blind and cured the crippled, the powers of God work
upon this phenomenal world in realistic ways.
Unlike the powers of mind control which restrict the freedom
of others by manipulating them, the powers of God are
powers which bring about peace and fortune in all situations
192
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
and even to those of the opponent. Such powers are the echoes
of love and harmony.
It is prayer which makes the powers of the love of God possible
to clearly function explicitly within this world. The practice
of repeated prayer is the only method which can exhibit
in full the powers of God onto this world.
As the Soviet Union is working to develop telepathy and the
powers of mind control as a national project with tremendous
national budget, if Japan, on the contrary, continues to develop
the path of prayer on a national scale, the energies of love and
harmony would overflow within her country. The development
of mind control is not inferior to that of military force in
being a method of protecting one’s country and suppressing
opponents. The powers of mind control are soon to be confirmed
as undeniable facts. However, if a nation truly unfolds
the path of prayer leading to the absolute powers of God which
is far beyond those of mind control, that nations will attain
tranquility itself; this, in turn, will be just as fortunate for the
opponents as well.
As I always mention, human beings are not of physical bodies
but are made up of the spiritual echoes of life which flow
from the divine to the physical world. We can say that
human beings are “life energy” itself. From the deep regions
of the mind of God, this human life is functioning on various
tiers such as the divine world, the spiritual world, the astral
world and the physical world. If we were to divide them up
into the exact number of tiers, it would be beyond our
conception.
When an individual exists in this earthly world as physical
man, he functions with the physical body as his first considera-
’93
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
tion and he functions giving notice to the good and evils of
physical life.
Of course, that is a natural course of event in itself, but in
improving one’s physical life, it is necessary to be interchanging
with the mind of God at all times for if you wander from the
mind of God, which is the source of life, the steady supply of
love, which is wisdom and ability, will be terminated.
Since life up to now has not been conducted in this manner,
tragic misfortunes are numerous among individuals, societies
and nations. Because the mind of God and the mind of mankind
are too far apart, even the valuable wisdoms of science will, in
the end, evidence the birth of destructive weapons which will
annihilate mankind.
Even if there is a change in direction from the research of
material science to that of mental science, it will also be without
an interchange with God for they amount to the practice of
research for the purpose of gaining national supremacy as well
as individual authority and not for the purpose of constructing
a harmonious world and true world peace.
The researches of telepathy and mind control even still belong
to the tiers of astral vibrations. They are functions of a
low dimension. If they were researches which echo the vibrations
of the spiritual and divine worlds as they are onto this
physical world, there is no way we would rob the freedom of
others and manipulate them according to our ego. If we manifest
the spiritual and divine vibrations within our researches
of telepathy and mind control, we will come to manifest a
state in which we can freely rejoice with others and entertain
a harmonized world.
This state will not be attained through the research of mental
science but through the practice of the path of prayer . Prayer
194
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
is a method in which our lives can function freely and extensively.
The method of prayer is to have our various karmic
thoughts, which surround our physical and astral bodies, extinguished
completely within the mind of God. It is a method in
which to receive a new life which is the light of the mind of
God itself.
The Practice of Prayer itself is the Origin of Peace
As mind control is researched and cultivated, it will make
progress and strengthen. This is the same for prayer as well, for
if one continues to pray and increase his record of performance,
his prayers will highten to a point where he will gradually be
able to attain oneness with the mind of God given a short
period of time.
If one becomes an adept in prayer, he can attain oneness with
God in a matter of an instant and perform miracles beyond the
powers of ordinary people. Such miracles are accompanied by
a state bursting with light and do not cause people to entertain
a sense of apprehension nor do they accompany danger.
The true birth of world peace will be attained when many
have reached, for the first time, this oneness with God.
When mankind attains oneness with God, wars as well as
natural disasters can completely be prevented from occurring.
The true happiness of mankind is also born out of this state.
The karmic thoughts and selfish desires of each individual are
making the world unharmonious. So we should have them all
extinguished within the mind of God and go through this world
with a bright mind which is the mind of God itself. By living
in this way, we will manifest the original image of the children
of God upon mankind and construct a true world of peace.
The mind of God is to love oneself and others; to love
195
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND
societies, nations and mankind alike. The path of prayer is to
be able to live with this mind of love which is one with the
mind of God.
Recently, this practice of Prayer for World Peace and the
vanishing image which we propose is rapidly increasing in
fellow members.
MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH. This prayer begins
with the words of universal love and are words which touch
the hearts of all people whether they be old, young, male or
female. We will continue to pray while entrusting this wish of
mankind entirely within this prayer. When one throws his
thoughts of anger, jealousy, weakness, disease and fear completely
into these words of prayer and close with words of
thankfulness toward his Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits,
his body is illuminating as a vessel of God, an abode for the
mind of God, and is no longer a mere physical body.
When observed with spiritual vision, it is said that the bodies
of those who recite the Prayer for World Peace are surrounded
by light. These are not the comments of fellow members but
expressed by psychics who have no connection whatsoever to
this prayer; hence leave no room for any doubt. From our
point of view, we feel this phenomenon to be true ourselves.
Those who truly wish to construct world peace should devote
themselves wholeheartedly to the Prayer for World Peace.
While working diligently, please continue to practice prayer
in every situation you face. In this way, light will vibrate forth
in great abundance and in all directions.
This is not the sort of practice which frees people through
the use of mind control. It is a practice in which the astral and
physical bodies of many are purified by light vibrations while
196
THE ORIGIN OF THE BIRTH OF WORLD PEACE
being enveloped within the echoes of light; a practice which
bears fruit without being aware of it.
The most exalted way of life which will save mankind is
certainly the life which places the Prayer for World Peace at
its foundation and none other.
