Suddenly, the vision of where my amber pendant came to me. The amber pendant is that I lost three years ago. I looked it for all over the house but didn't find and gave up.
However, suddenly that vision came to my mind when I was enjoying my morning tea: an amber pendant in a sewing box with jewelry beads.
To prove that revelation, I explored in the sewing box and pick up the amber pendant. It was like a miracle.
I was deeply impressed by the wonder of inspiration.
Environment to get inspiration
There is a certain condition to get inspiration, which I learned from my experience.
Because I had spent these days differently: I enjoyed a short summer vacation with my family at a hotel with a spa in Tokyo.
there are four processes that lead to human inspiration:
1) Think through
2) Think until you hit the wall
3) Forget
4) Do unrelated activities
The important step in the path to the inspiration are
to note what is goal and
to forget it.
Therefore, for inspiration coming to us, it is important to first clarify the goal and then think through it. However, intuition does not work just by thinking.
Because, the inspiration comes from beyond oblivion. Therefore, large amounts of information and long-term concentration are even harmful.
In fact, I can't think of any good ideas when I search the Internet for a long time.
I feel that too much information is blocking my inspiration. In addition, it is not enough to simply go toward the purpose.
A wonderful inspiration needs a refresh.
Gentle chaos, the fluctuation of Nature, creates inspiration
It is the gentle chaos and the fluctuations of Nature that create the inspiration. Inspiration does not come about however we improve our memory or computing skills.
In other words, inspiration is not compatible with conscious, goal-oriented, or artificial environments.
Relaxation in Nature, solid wood tables, linen parasols, and organic herbal teas create a gentle chaos and the sway of nature in our minds.
The natural shape is comfortable, not an artificial straight line. It's asymmetrical and unbalanced design that makes me feel comfortable
Happiness built with wish and inspiration
From the above, making a wish and getting inspiration makes our life happy by the following steps:
The first step is to sow the seeds of happiness. In other words, writing various wishes. Feel free to list your ideas with a pen. It is important to actually write.
The second step is to think, think, and think through. However, it is not good to think for a long time or pack too much information.
The third step is to calm down the calm chaos and nature. Forgetting to do unrelated activities is the shortest distance to "inspiration."
In the fourth step, spiritual inspiration comes without any warning.
The fifth step is to actually carry out the inspiration to prove it.
If you often have good inspiration, your life will be fulfilled. Inspiration is not something that you think in your head, but wisdom that comes from nowhere.
Life depends on what kind of network you are connected to
One cannot live alone. In other words, you may be able to define what kind of person you are, depending on what kind of network you are connected to.
The network here means not only the relationship with people and society, but also the way of interacting with property and nature.
Switch to a better network for happiness and peace
It is important to switch to a better network for happiness and peace. Familiar human relationships are especially important in life.
If it is not desirable now, it is better to change it to a desirable relationship including separation. In some cases, it may be parents or siblings that separate it.
You can say that your property is part of yourself. It's much easier than relationships to get rid of unnecessary possessions and build a comfortable relationship with what you like.
If you want to know the current condition, you can take a picture of all clothes.
You will be able to understand what you do not need and what you lack, and will be able to shop appropriately.
The spiritual meaning of shopping
The manufacturing process of a product affects the soul.
And, spiritually, how those things were made is also important.
Owning a product with a background that has caused human rights abuses or environmental damage has a negative impact on the owner.
Surprisingly, Japanese companies were also involved in it.
As a responsible consumer, I will change the way I buy.
In other words, I don't buy anything manufactured by human rights abuses. Because you can connect to the network by buying. And it results in encouraging such regimes.
Global supply chains control manufacturing costs and maximize corporate profits.
However, if the people involved in the global supply chain are not happy, it is not good to have a relationship through the economic activity of purchasing.
It would be fantastic if we could control another possible world. Of course, for a peaceful and prosperous world.
On August 1, 2020, I and my two daughters saw the same another possible world. It was a sight that my favorite restaurant was closed. We were sorry: in the restaurant industry, many stores have recently gone bankrupt due to the new coronavirus.
But the next moment, the restaurant was opening as usual. All three of us had the same illusion. By this, I understand that possible worlds are not assertive.
We saw the store's fluctuations between possibility and reality.
On the flip side, I'm convinced there is room to control another possible world. Of course, for a peaceful and prosperous world.
Flexible and soft reality
There is no solid real world.
I think the reality is flexible and soft. Besides, it can be said that the real world is not solid, everything is vibration.
Even the appearance is different depending on the observer.
For example, the world is black and white for dogs.
Even with the same observer, the world changes depending on what he sees and what he looks at.
Even weight is one-sixth in a low gravity month.
So the reality is flexible and soft.
And, in the real world, there are adjacent fluctuations between possibility and reality.
Seeing the ideal reality in the possibilities
I think that what one really desires is that it can happen.
In other words, I think that the world you want already exists on the invisible dimension.
To put it another way, the world we can imagine is likely to come true.
Therefore, the following two points are shortcuts to happiness:
Picking up the ideal reality from various possibilities, and
Looking at it with a relaxed feeling
Enjoy the ideal reality, habitually
Some people are customarily good at enjoying the ideal reality.
Such people are always cheerful and straightforward. Moreover, they are lucky.
In human knowledge, such a causal relationship is immeasurable. It doesn't seem to have a direct causal connection, but the following three points are great for happiness:
Small meal,
Cleaning, and
Meditation
Practicing the above three points on a daily basis eliminates the negative habits of the mind.
And from various possibilities, it makes it easy to pick up and see the ideal reality. And every day comes with peace and abundance.
Regarding small meals
Mizuno Namboku (1760 to 1834) advocated the theory that fate can be improved by eating little food.
Interior advice based on Feng Shui also say that it is good for good luck by maximizing your space and harmonizing your environment. If you organize the environment around you, your thoughts will become clear.
Regarding Meditation
Meditation is useful in terms of cognitive control, emotional control, and positive thinking, as can be inferred from the practice of many power elites.
Why not make use of meditation to make your life more meaningful?
I feel that the real world has become so flexible and happy that I have grown accustomed to waking up and meditating before going to bed.
Summary
We live in the fluctuation between possibility and reality.
For happiness see the real world as flexible by small meals, cleaning, and meditation.
Now is Age of Aquarius. The modern era has just entered the age of Aquarius from the age of Pisces. This shift makes drastic changes on the world from hierarchy dominant to individual voluntary networking.
Age of Aquarius changes how to live. For example, "Workation".
"Workation" is a coined word that combines “Work” and “Vacation” made in the United States in the 2000s.
At last in Japan, telework is almost forcibly promoted by the influence of the new coronavirus, and the way of working called "Workation" is beginning to attract attention.
Especially in the past few days in Japan, "Workation" has been featured in a morning TV program.
"Workation" refers to a type of work where a remote work is also performed in a place where the environment is generally good, such as a resort.
In other words, it's like going to work even though you're traveling.
Example of Japan Airlines (JAL)
In Japan, Japan Airlines (JAL) started a trial in 2017 and introduced it in the following year. It was a very early case for a large company.
Workation days are counted as work days.
With the introduction of "Workation" , Japan Airlines (JAL) is said to have achieved an improvement in the paid acquisition rate and a reduction in overtime hours.
Vacation named Workation
In the future, "Workation" may become even more common in Japan, and it may become normal. Of course, there may be some jobs that are difficult to introduce.
Japanese people do not have the habit of enjoying long stays and vacations.
However, if the "Workation" spreads, the habit of enjoying long-term resort stays may become common.
I also want to stay for a long time in a cozy space where Wi-Fi is maintained while working at a reasonable price.
I do want to enjoy real vacation like a French.
There are many secondary merits by "Workation:" easing urban concentration, increasing the rate of paid leave taken, revitalizing regions, etc.
Small is Beautiful
Age of Aquarius may transform lifestyle into mobility, miniaturization, and regional regression.
Opened in June of this year in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is a completely new type of hotel that combines an office and a house, also called "WorkZoku".
The origin of Zoku is "ka zoku (family)" in Japanese. The concept is that people who stay there and work will form a family-like community.
In addition to each guest's room, Zoku also has a social space where guests can interact with each other.
Guests can also relax and interact with other guests while having a meal or table tennis.
For people practicing new work styles regardless of time or place, "WorkZoku" must be an ideal environment.
If local communities around the world, called Zoku, are connected by lines across national borders, a new global community may be created there. I hope such a society will be realized.
Summary
Age of Aquarius transforms our lifestyle.
As economist E.F. Schumacher has advocated, Small is Beautiful are firmly established to change our lifestyles.
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.
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.
Mizuno Namboku (1760-1834) is the person who advocated the theory that fate can be improved by eating little food. He was insightful as a genius in reading people's physiognomy.
From a scientific point of view, we are what we eat.
Source: Better brain health | DW Documentary
Mizuno Namboku's unique dietary theory is not limited to human thinking, but affects fate.
Mizuno Namboku inspired more than 200 years ago a revolutionary idea for Japanese food culture through his thorough human observation. The ultimate conclusion of his view of life is "how humans should live and die.
Here are seven points about his conclusions, the relationship between luck and food:
1. “Small food” centered on grains and vegetables is the best
People get unlucky if they eat wrong. That is, if you eat too much, you will be disproportionately positive and become obese. Also, if you eat unbalanced food, you will be biased in the shadows, and you will lose weight and become malnourished. For that purpose, "small meals" centered on grains and vegetables that are consistently distributed are the best.
2. Obesity reflects on facade, and downfall
Too much fat causes obesity, and a greedy (human) "karma" that is the original of human beings appears, becoming selfish and unlucky. Therefore, his personality is intimidating, arrogant, and arrogant.
When such a character comes to the surface, it has the implication of falling. It appears in the facade, and when "deep nasolabial folds" flow toward the "corners of mouth," it has the implication of business failure or life depression.
3. Unbalanced diet ruins life
Unbalanced diet leads to malnutrition and a lean body shape (the limbs are thin but the belly is swollen), and the cheek skin is no longer resilient.
Such people become reluctant, altruistic, overused by others, and have a marked lack of desire, trust, popularity, and independence.
4, Moderate diet is the best
Moderate diet is the best. Therefore, a person's body shape is an ideal body shape with the best middle-medium and medium-height.
well balanced meal
5. Thorough small meals overcome the adverse effects of fate
Generally, it is called "Eat until you're 80 percent full", but this idea warns of overeating by dedicating "20%" to the god and eating the remaining "80%". But even "80 percent full" is over-eating.
Therefore, "Eat until you're 60 percent full" is ideal. The body can move and work even with enough "hermit food".
People who thoroughly eat small meals will not be adversely affected even if they go in an ominous direction.
That is, such a person will not be adversely affected by fate.
Those who are affected by fortune-telling and fate studies are either obese or lean.
Nourishment must take not only food but also clean Qi from nature. This is called “Food and Qi are same origin”.
6. The secret of destiny
A person who adheres to "Food and Qi are same origin" will never be upset by any circumstances. Moreover, such a person can turn disaster into good fortune, weak fortune and good fortune.
7. Breathing method
There is an emphasis on consciousness of the inner part of the lower abdomen, just beneath the navel.
A person who breathes by focusing on the emphasis has a cosmic consciousness established for himself.
Thus, such a person has no boundaries between himself and others, and has a mind and body that are united with nature, and when he approaches a bad direction, the intuition automatically comes in.
Even if he approaches such a bad place, he is rarely affected. Even if there is a sign of disaster, it can be bounced back without being affected by it because it is protected by the cause of life.
Age of Aquarius: Model 20,000 years ago is Jōmon, no hierarchy
Japan's oldest Jōmon lifestyle and values are perfect for the age of Aquarius.
The modern era has just entered the age of Aquarius from the age of Pisces. This shift makes drastic changes on the world from hierarchy dominant to individual voluntary networking. Jōmon lifestyle is exactly like that, i.e., no hierarchy, no ownership and no battle.
Japanese culture can be traced back to the Jōmon period. The oldest Jōmon pottery is 16,500 years ago. Therefore, Jōmon period is quite old.
Jōmon period lasted for nearly 20,000 years in a peaceful and equal society.
The Jōmon people did not have the concept of land ownership or savings.
There are various theories about when the age of Aquarius starts, but in any case, the former age, the age of Pisces accounts for most of the history textbooks we know. And Jōmon is older than the age of Pisces.
Transformation of Values: From Pisces to Aquarius
Aquarius is symbolized by "the person who carries the water." He is responsible for the fair distribution of wealth and opportunities. In other words, it is a society in which free thinking is allowed while assuming one's role in the whole. The Age of Pisces can be characterized by the evolution of religion, politics, and war based on material restrictions. In contrast, the Age of Aquarius is an era of evolving beyond material limitations. Information spreads beyond the boundaries of religion and politics and spreads to the world in an instant.
In the 2000 years, during the age of Pisces, humanity has been devastated by war. Yuval Noah Harari's online history lecture “A Breif History of Humankind” is the best way to look back on human history during the Pisces era.
The entire lecture is composed of Lesson 01 to Lesson 17 as following video:
The keywords in the age of Pisces
carp in the imperial palace in Tokyo
The keywords in the age of Pisces are
"separation,"
"control," and
"material."
Pisces is a symbol that two fish traveling in the opposite direction are tied with a string. In other words, in the age of Pisces, is the separation of opposing pairs. Those are:
mind and body,
spirit and substance,
masculine and femininity, etc.
They are seemingly opposites which are not fused, but separated.
In addition, the age of Pisces is an era of class society divided into the governing side and the dominated side. Due to the hierarchical structure of the organizational structure, power and financial power, limited people gathered power.
The fundamental values of separation and control during the age of Pisces made "religion" segregated, hostile, and strengthened domination.
In Pisces society, femininity and masculinity are separated. That is, men belong to the company and work for the company, and women contribute for the family.
Thus, 2000 years in the past, the age of Pisces, can be said as a history of battle and is now moving into the age of Aquarius to be free from battles.
The transition does not switch from one day to another. Human beings gradually transform society and humanity based on collective unconsciousness.
What is like the new age of Aquarius
The keywords in the age of Aquarius are "love", "integration", "harmony", "change", and "equal".
Aquarius symbolize a boy with a water bottle as Ganymēdēs. He is a beautiful boy in Greek mythology and the only human being to enter the world of God.
Therefore if you will be a water bottle carrier, i.e., a wealth distributer, you may be closer to God.
By the way, it is Uranus, the guardian of Aquarius. The keywords that Uranus gives are:
Revolution
Invention
Originality
Creativity
Freedom
In the age of Aquarius, materiality and spirit are fused to create new values that are free and liberated.
The energy to release the rule and integrate the things that had been separated until now will be strengthened more and more. Furthermore, the idea of sharing rather than ownership is standardized.
We can expect the development of cutting-edge technologies that are environmentally friendly.
The age of Aquarius is also the era of community, in which each person exerts their talents, harmonizes, and works to improve the world.
And the value is that if the whole community works well, anyone's credit will do. Rather than the upper ones controlling the lower ones, everyone will be equal and the whole society will change to values that respect each other.
Aquarius Lifestyle learn from the Jōmon period
Values in the Aquarius era are similar to those in the Jōmon period. Surprisingly, the Jōmon period lasted nearly 20,000 years.
They had no concept of land ownership, struggle, wealth, or class.
The recent excavation of the Jomon archaeological site has revealed that the Jomon people had a high degree of culture, rather than the primitive people that have been considered so far.
Even if he did not cultivate rice, he had a stable life of managing and utilizing natural resources such as chestnut forests.
We have the technology to make high-quality earthenware with an original design, and that earthenware belongs to the oldest category in the world.
Sophisticated items such as elaborate earrings and lacquered combs.
More than 20,000 clay figurines whose meanings and uses are still mysterious.
A large number of stones were carefully arranged to form a stone circle, where ceremonies were performed in line with the celestial bodies.
Jōmon people familiar with the movement of the sun and had already learned the concept of time.
Life in the Jōmon period was peaceful with no fighting. That age continued for nearly 20,000 years. This is amazingly long!!
Suffering caused by the ancient conversion: From the Jōmon period to the Yayoi period
When the transition from the Jōmon period to the Yayoi period took place, Japanese culture and social systems changed significantly. On top of that transformation, the current Japanese society continues.
In the Jōmon period, people had equal relationships based on hunting and gathering. In hunting and gathering, they basically got what they needed at that time.
Therefore, they did not accumulate their own assets. On the other hand, in the Yayoi period, people had an agricultural life based on orderly collective actions and plans. In an agricultural society, storing rice caused a gap between rich and poor, and caused competition for land.
After entering to Yayoi period, the entire society became hierarchical, rationalization was promoted, wealth was concentrated on some people.
Also, the planet Earth and all living beings that are its inhabitants are being hurt. In other words, now is the high time for reform.
That is the age of Aquarius.
Conclusion
We have just entered the age of Aquarius, the age of "freedom," "equality," and "transformation" from the 2000 long-standing "separation," "control," and "material" advantages of Pisces.
Breaking down the hierarchy and wealth sharing will be a major business theme.
In the transformation, the "water carrier" of the age of Aquarius, Ganymēdēs, who distributes water (water metaphor), will be our targeted role who enters the world of God.
To know the values of the age of Aquarius rests in Jōmon culture. In other words, we must learn a new way of life from the days of the distorted ancient Utopia.
