Lifestyle based on invisible spirituality, for evolution

Hand power that "ki" came out of the palm, 

healing power to adjust the dissonant parts of the body

Healing power by touching

The Japanese word "te-ate" means treatment, but originally it means healing power by touching, "te" means hand, and "ate" means touching. In other words, treatment was basically touched by hand. The Japanese in the old days may have intuitively knew hand power that "ki" came out of the palm and that it was effective in adjusting the dissonant parts of the body.

Traditional treatment

When my daughter caught a cold when she was young, I warmed my palms to her back and stomach. And I made her drink hot water, sweat her, and change her sweat-soaked clothes. The body temperature rises, and bad things come out with sweat, and it becomes refreshing. I like these primitive methods, not antipyretics.

Advanced Cosmic view based on spirituality rather than materiality

Not just the palm, but the entire skin is more than a physical boundary. Some people can see the aura of people. Even if you can't see it clearly, you can tell if it's shining or dark. This is the spiritual energy that primitive civilizations valued.

According to George Adamski (1891-1965), the skin itself is an organ. Unfortunately, I can't find his English related site. It was the Japanese translation of his book by Mr. Hachiro Kubota that inspired me to learn his ideas. Thanks to Mr. Kubota, I learned about George Adamski's view of Cosmos, which goes beyond preconceived ideas. Until around 2000, I was in Kubota's club to see spaceships, but it broke up with his death. Recently, by chance, I was happy to find a Japanese site by Mr. Kubota's bereaved family.

Kubota has translated many of George Adamski's cosmic view into Japanese, which has broadened my perception: a tree rooted in a cliff knows where to grow and grows in a perfect balance. do. The tree grasps the shape of the cliff without looking at the shape of the cliff. Originally, humans also have such sensing power of this tree on their skin. The skin is not a physical boundary with the outside world, but rather a medium of telepathy that is compatible with the entire universe.

The tree grasps the shape of the cliff without looking at the shape of the cliff.

Technology that coexists with humans

There is a limit to how much human beings can improve science and technology based on materiality. Spirituality and human nature are important for true evolution. Machines do not constrain humans, but we need machines that coexist with humans. For example, CYBERDYNE's product, HAL [Hybrid Assistive Limb], heals the injured body while supporting the injured body's functioning according to the wearer's wishes. It's a technology that coexists with people. It is impressive that Cybernics Treatment has made it possible for people who could not walk due to spinal cord injuries to walk.

Jomon, Spirituality and the Age of Aquarius

Jomon is the spirituality and culture that was cherished in ancient Japan. Spiritual-based cultures have disappeared not only in the Jomon period, but around the world, and material-based civilizations have become mainstream. But now, humanity is at the turning point of the times. It's the Age of Aquarius. We would like to improve the spiral by fusing technology that coexists with people.

Values are changing from Pisces to Aquarius for the first time in 2000.

Conclusion

Whether it is medical treatment or science and technology, we will spiral up based on spirituality rather than substance. That is the flow of the Age of Aquarius. It awakens the spirituality of ancient primitive civilization in a more sophisticated way. The important thing is invisible to the eye. Now is the time to awaken spirituality.

The important thing is invisible to the eye.

Values of happiness in a new era

It doesn't look like the world is getting better now. Still trying to find hope in the future. The Japanese have experienced such a past many times long ago. How can the Japanese overcome the greatest crisis this time?

Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan,
is an object of Japanese reverence and a source of culture though,
 the eruption is powerful enough to change the history of Japan.

The past when the Japanese overcame the drastic population decline

How humanity has overcome its hardships can be glimpsed in the history of the shrinking population turning to increase. 

According to Hiroshi Kito, a historical demographer of Sophia University who is familiar with the changes in Japan's population, around 2300 BC, 260,000 people lived in Japan. However, in the late Jomon period (around the 10 century BC), the population of 260,000 fell to 80,000. 

In Japan, external factors such as the weakening of the nation, famine due to climate change, and the outbreak of smallpox have been triggered by a set of psychological brakes that have no hope for the future.

Anxiety about the future that Japanese young people have

Japan's population peaked at 128.08 million in 2008 and began to decline. According to forecasts, Japan's population will shrink to one-third in less than 100 years due to the declining birthrate. It can be said that Japanese young people are under a psychological brake that they have no hope for the future. Most people don't think society will improve.

World Population Trends from 1950 to 2100

The following site is the population transition forecast of each country from 1950 to 2100. I don't think the accuracy is high, but it is interesting to be able to select and see various countries. By the way, it seems that the world population will reach more than 10 billion in 2100.

Source: World Population Trends from 1950 to 2100 

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan's population trends are as follows:

• (1192) 7.57 million people (Kamakura Shogunate)
• (1338) 8.18 million people (Muromachi Shogunate)
• (1603) 12.27 million people (Tokugawa Shogunate)
• (1716-1745) 31.28 million people (population stagnation)
• (1868) 33.3 million people (End of Tokugawa Shogunate, Meiji Restoration)
• (1945) 71.99 million people (end of the World War II)
• (2004) 12.08 million people (population peak)
• (2100) 50 million people?

The trials that will come

In March 2021, the hazard map of the eruption of Mt. Fuji in Japan was updated, expanding the expected impact of the eruption. Due to the westerlies, the damage to the west from Mt. Fuji is so great that it completely surrounds Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, is an object of Japanese reverence and a source of culture (by the way, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013). However, the eruption is powerful enough to change the history of Japan.

Mt. Fuji has not erupted since it erupted in 1707, about 300 years ago, and it is feared that the eruption will soon be triggered.

The eruption of Mt. Fuji 300 years ago stagnated Japan's steadily increasing population. This is because the earthquake and the eruption of Mt. Fuji, as well as the oppression and no relief of the Shogunate, have afflicted the people.

Mt. Fuji eruption, December 16, 1707

Around 10 am on December 16, 1707 (solar calendar), Mt. Fuji erupted from the southeastern slope, and the eruption rose to 20,000 m above the sky. It did not get hot in the summer after the eruption of Mt. Fuji, so rice did not grow. At that time, rice was the main economic axis, so Japan was hit hard by both food and the economic crisis at that time. 

Even in such a situation, there was no relief from the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Tokugawa Shogunate declined while afflicting the people over 150 years, and finally the dawn of a new era in 1868, Japan entered the Meiji Restoration.

In 1868, Japan revives as a modern nation. Regardless of whether the Meiji Restoration is really good for people, the Tokugawa Shogunate has ended. And Japan's population started to increase again.

Hitsuki Shinji (Revelation) tells Mt. Fuji eruption

Hituki Shinji, an oracles in Japan that predict the future, tells us that the climax of hardship will pass with the eruption of Mt. Fuji. 

 

”Endure anything until Mt. Fuji moves. It's hard to starve. But no matter what, don't rush to death.” 

Values of happiness in a new era

The next eruption of Mt. Fuji may be powerful enough to change the history of Japan, which will encourage the Japanese to value the happiness of a new era. 

The new era may be the era of Aquarius, which says goodbye to the era of Pisces that lasted 2000 years.　We may be experiencing a revolution in a very big era.　

I hope that people will find happiness that fits into the optimal population for an economic system that is in harmony with the environment.

May new values such as cooperation rather than competition, sharing rather than ownership, and harmony rather than conquest become commonplace.

Sealed mysterious goddess, Seoritsu-hime

Watching anime is interesting. Especially when thinking about the source of the author's imagination. 

"Akira" and 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Japanese animation is often a mysterious work inspired by inspiration. For example, "Akira" is a manga depicting Tokyo in 2019 more than 30 years ago, which had described that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been cancelled. How did the author, Katsuhiro Otomo, get a vision of the future more than 30 years from now?

"Your Name" and Mysterious goddess 

The movie "Your Name" directed by Makoto Shinkai is a work in which spiritual metaphors are studded in many ways. One of them is the heroine named "Mitsuha". "Mitsuha" is said to have been referred to by director Makoto Shinkai, the goddess of water called "Mitsuhame no Kami". "Mitsuhame no Kami" is another name for the goddess Seoritsu-hime. 

Source: The movie "Your Name" Official site 

Seoritsu-hime was a very powerful god in ancient times, and she was a god who was enshrined and respected at shrines all over the country. The god who had such power does not appear in Japanese official history "Nihon Shoki" and "Kojiki" at all. 

Sealed mysterious goddess, Seoritsu-hime

What I pay attention to in this story is the rewriting of the timeline. The heroine Mitsuha was destined to die when she was a high school student, but that is rewritten. Through this story, I felt as if the public experienced the resurrection of Seoritsu-hime. I cannot help feeling the influence of the mysterious goddess that was sealed in ancient times. 

"Jomon Goddess from Sirius, Seoritsuｰhime and Mu resurfaced"  suggests the existence of an ancient civilization that has disappeared from history. Even if the record is erased, the ancient memories will appear in the form of anime and manga in the form of anime and manga in front of modern people. Seoritsu and Sirius have very similar pronunciations. I think it may have been the same originally. 　

There is a lot of information and inspiration around us right now. Which one you access is up to you. I wonder why but I want to connect with Seoritsu-hime. Because she is the Goddess of Purification, cosmic, and harmonious. I intuitively see that she is a goddess of erased civilization and history. 

Outside the Rat Race

Overcome meaningless common sense

During the transition to the Age of Aquarius, we are moving from a hierarchical society to a free collaborative network. It's up to each of us to choose whether we will end our lives staying in the old era or leveling up to the new one. 

Which future door to choose ?

People today don't even notice when common sense are unnatural. When they reach school age, the children go to school. In order to acquire even more advanced knowledge, they receive higher education. When they grow up, they become useful to society. 

So what exactly is useful? In a capitalist society, the measure of usefulness is calculated in terms of profit.

Before the establishment of the central government What were people's lifestyles and values like before the establishment of the centralized state? 

Society worked very differently before the emergence of state power than it does today. 

Modern people perceive such a period as barbaric and uncivilized, but is it true? I don't think so. Rather, I believe that freedom, equality and benevolence were more advanced than they are now. In Japan, such a period is the Jomon period (theories, circa 14,000 BC - 10th century BC). There, communities and villages had a cooperative network of communities and villages. There was no hoarding, taxation, exploitation, or wealth.

Outside the rat race

It's up to the individual to choose to stay out of the rat race. However, we have become totally tamed in a system of society where state power, exploitation and disparity are created. 

The average Japanese salaryman usually commute on a crowded train for an hour. To get off the rat race, I made a different choice than a regular office worker: I moved to a 5 minute walk from the office. The price of real estate per square meter is 10 times higher than where I used to live. And now I spend most of my income on housing. Moreover, my residence is small. 

But that choice freed me from the crowded commute and gave me more free time. I have more time to spend with my family. It was a generally unthinkable choice, but it was the best choice I could make.　Time is precious.

Happiness: The story of a rodent's unrelenting quest for happiness and fulfillment. 

Life is a choice.

You have more freedom of choice than you think. The complex institutions and structures of our society make it difficult to find creativity. 

By choice, we gradually improve the common sense that we take for granted and put up with to a human-friendly lifestyle. 

So, arouse your creativity. A series of choices can change your life in a very different way. As long as you're alive, there's something you're willing to change.

To die better, live better.

How would you feel if you took your last breath of life while remaining a prisoner of common sense and habit? We were not born to be slaves to the economic system. We have to live better, in truth, to die better. It's not even close to being made to do someone else's will. 

A day is an equal amount of time, 24 hours. Morning comes and night comes. Morning comes again. What we think, how we feel, and how we create during our lifetime is life. Once we join the society, we forget about it. But I would like to be able to go beyond the norm and create as much as possible.

Conclusion

People have more freedom of choice than they think. The way the world works is complicated and hard to recognize, but when you realize it, it's easy.

Art and culture at Tokyo National Museum online in English

Art and culture enrich the inside

I went to the Tokyo National Museum onSeptember 21, 2020 with my daughter. It was a pleasant autumn day in Tokyo.

This day is a free viewing day. The following 3 days in a year are free viewing days:

1. May 19th (Tuesday), 
2. September 3rd Monday, 
3. November 3rd (Tuesday / holiday)

The Tokyo National Museum is a museum of Japanese and Oriental cultural properties (arts, archaeological relics, etc.). 

Reservations must be made prior to your intended visit.

The purpose of my visit to the museum this time was to trace the memories of old things. I'm sure things have memories. I wanted to connect with the thoughts of my ancient ancestors.

Changes in consciousness appearing in ancient objects

I felt that the times would obviously change significantly.

1．For example, a clay figurine.

1-1. First, the clay figurines of BC

No.8 is "goggle-eyed" clay figure, which is very unique among variety of humanoid figurine from the late Jōmon period. It's like an alien in a spacesuit.

1-2. Next, the Kofun period when war and centralization began

 

The expression of the Jomon period in BC is full of mysterious charm. The haniwa around the 6th century dates from the Kofun period (Tumulus period), when the war and centralization began, and it seems that the expression is somewhat melancholy.

2．Another example is a vessel.

2-1. First, the vessels of BC

2-2. Next, modern vessels

Modern vessels are sophisticated and beautiful, but BC vessels have a mysterious energy.

Touch the spirit of ancient ancestors

Another purpose is to see the toes of the stone statue of Sakhmet, the goddess of ancient Egypt. The head of the goddess is a lioness. She is also the goddess of the sun. In Egyptian mythology, Sakhmet is a warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing.

Like my daughter, Sakhmet has a long second toe. 

It's nice to have something similar to this unique goddess of ancient Egypt.

Art and culture are elements of inner affluence. 

Tokyo National Museum has Japanese and Oriental cultural properties, available online in English.

Age of Aquarius: Key Concepts for Great Transition from Age of Pisces

Great Transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius: where we go heading for?

With the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, our values ​​are bound to change. 

The Age of Pisces lasted 2,000 years. The structure of our society has been built on the Age of Pisces. 

But now we are at a turning point from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. 

The Age of Pisces is, as symbolized by two fish moving in different directions, with their tails tied together. 

In other words, there is a conflict structure. 

　　　　　　　　　　

On the other hand, the keywords of the Age of Aquarius are "transformation", "invention", "technology", "freedom", "individualization", "network", "information", etc. 

Social transformation based on these keywords will respond to changes in collective consciousness. 

The following are the keywords for adapting to the times:

• From "management" to "stewardship"
• From "hierarchy" to "networks"
• From "strategy" to "harmony"

From "management" to "stewardship"

What does "management" mean to "stewardship"? “Management” is now a common concept and is like an organizational management strategy. 

On the other hand, it may seem strange that "stewardship" replaces "management." 

However, "stewardship" is considered to become the basis for organizing an organization in the Age of Aquarius. 

The noun "steward" means "housekeeper" and the noun "ship" means "quality". 

"Stewardship" means "asset management" with the nuance of "quality that a house manager should have".

“Stewardship” is more proactive and comprehensive than “management” in that it is responsible for the resources shared by all living things on earth. 

We don't own any part of the earth, we have a stewardship, a fiduciary responsibility to manage what we hold.　So in the Age of Aquarius, the concept of ownership may disappear.

From "hierarchy" to "networks"

A “hierarchy” is an organizational structure that is convenient for a small number to efficiently control the large number. 

But this structure creates differentiation, disparity, and rich and poor. 

The limits have come to many hierarchical, rigid tissues. 

As if it had been planned, the IT information revolution in a timely manner is accelerating the shift from "hierarchy" to "networks." 

Every organization will be individualized and purposed based on "networks". 

After all, the Age of Aquarius is matched by a flat organization "networks" where freedom and individuality are respected. 

Individuals will become the mainstream in the future by building networks and relationships of trust with like-minded people. 

From "strategy" to "harmony" at Anthropocene

The Age of Pisces was an age that emphasized superiority in superior strategy. 

And for the 2,000 years of the Age of Pisces, every mechanism has been streamlined with excellent strategy. 

However, the earth is now at risk of environmental destruction and destruction by highly developed scientific weapons. 

The Earth is now considered to be in the geological era division of "Anthropocene". Paul Jozef Crutzen (1933-), Nobel laureate, atmospheric chemist, popularized the term "Anthropocene'' to describe a proposed new era when human actions have a drastic effect on the Earth.

The word combines "anthropo," meaning "human" with "cene," meaning "epoch." "Anthropocene" defines Earth's most recent geologic time period as earth system processes are now altered by humans.

At Anthropocene, humankind must not compete with each other. 

The most important thing is not the excellent strategy, but how to harmonize with others.

Past period, Jomon, that should serve as a model for the Age of Aquarius

The past period that should serve as a model for the Age of Aquarius is the Jomon period. 

The Jomon period lasted nearly 20,000 years in an ancient period with requirements for "stewardship", "networks" and "harmony". 

That is the Jomon period. Jomon people had no concept of ownership or class and never had a war. 

Jomon also possessed advanced cosmic knowledge. 

However, it is classified as a "pre-historical period". 

Because "History is written by the victors". For the victors, the conquered past is rewritten for convenience.

Summary

We are now at the turning point. In other words, it is a big shift from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. The long 2000 years of the Age of Pisces are over. New age needs new values. They are "stewardship", "networks" and "harmony". We can learn a lot from the peaceful jomon period that has lasted for nearly 20,000 years in humanity. Pay attention to Jomon.
