Afterword (summary)

In this final afterword, the author reiterates the core message of the book: "In the end, it all comes down to meditation," and "Let us practice correct meditation." For those who have engaged in the practice of turning inward and observing their own hearts, this conclusion should come as no surprise—it resonates as a natural truth.

However, the author acknowledges that certain aspects of this meditative path—particularly those involving seeing his "eyes" or "finger" as described in the text—are more difficult to grasp for those who never met him in person. Even so, he points out that through the UTA Book website, anyone can still hear his igo (nonverbal language of the heart), offering a valuable entry point for inner exploration.

He invites anyone who feels drawn to seek further experience by attending a UTA Kai seminar. There, the atmosphere and shared study can offer a more direct, experiential form of understanding—something beyond what can be conveyed in words.

Looking ahead, the author warns that humanity stands on the brink of unprecedented experiences. While signs are already emerging across the globe, these are but precursors to a far greater wave of transformation. Inevitably, the flow of events will confront us directly—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—forcing us to reckon with the very foundations of our existence.

And yet, through these trials, humanity is destined to awaken—to return to its true form and essence. This is what the author names "the flow of consciousness."

In closing, he expresses a deep wish: that this book may help as many people as possible begin to feel this "flow of consciousness" in their own hearts during this lifetime. That, above all, is the message he leaves us with—simple, clear, and filled with love.



おわりに (要約)

 本書の結びとして、著者は「最後は瞑想です」「正しい瞑想をしましょう」というテーマに込めた思いをあらためて述べています。心を見る実践を続けてきた読者には、その意味が自然と腑に落ちるであろうとしつつも、「私の目を見る」「私の指を見る」といった瞑想の核心に関わる要素については、田池留吉本人との出会いがない読者にとって少々残念な点であるとも語られます。

それでも、UTABOOKのホームページに掲載された異語音声を通じて学ぶ道は誰にでも開かれており、さらに関心を深めた方は、セミナーに参加することでより直接的な学びを得てほしいと勧めています。

そして、これから人類は未曾有の体験を迎えると断言します。それはすでに世界のあちこちに兆しが見られるものの、まだほんの序章に過ぎず、これから先、人類は否応なく自らの存在そのものを揺るがすような状況に直面していくのだと説かれます。

しかし、そのような厳しい体験の先にこそ、私たちが本来の自分を取り戻し、蘇っていく道があると力強く語ります。それは「意識の流れ」と名づけられた帰還への道筋であり、一人でも多くの人が今世においてそれを心で感じ始めてほしいという、著者の切なる願いがこの章の締めくくりとなっています。
