Have you ever wondered about the difference between Amaterasu Ōmikami written in kanji and Amaterasu written in katakana?
The Amaterasu written in katakana represents the "dark universe"—a powerful and vast energy.
By contrast, the world symbolized by the kanji name Amaterasu Ōmikami feels small and limited in comparison.
That's the sense I have, and I asked Tomekichi Taike about it.
Now, I will read what I said to him as I closed my eyes and turned my heart to him. Please listen.
The Amaterasu we speak of is the universe of darkness.
And within that universe, there exists the Mother Universe.
You already know in your heart that the dark universe of Amaterasu is enveloped within the Mother Universe.
We have been creating that dark universe of Amaterasu from within the Mother Universe.
The message sent to us was this: "Recognize the mistaken thoughts you have carried through your reincarnations in the third dimension."
But what happened?
The consciousnesses that were born into this third dimension created a small, restricted world—the world of Amaterasu Ōmikami as a god.
Of course, this is also a black world, a world where the physical body is treated as real.
In that world, people worshipped god after god, calling out to Amaterasu, and expanded the Amaterasu Ōmikami belief system in pursuit of their own power and glory.
Yet the world of Amaterasu Ōmikami is a tiny one.
It cannot even begin to compare to the universe of Amaterasu that we speak of—the dark universe.
And even that vast dark universe, from the perspective of the Mother Universe, is small and insignificant.
If you begin to feel the vibration of the Mother Universe in your heart,
you will clearly understand how small the katakana Amaterasu universe really is—
and how much smaller the world of Amaterasu Ōmikami written in kanji must be.
When we say "the universe," we mean the Mother Universe.
That gentle, gentle warmth…
That love…
It is our true home, and it is to that home that our consciousness seeks to return.
Now, through this present lifetime, even the dark universe of Amaterasu has begun to tell us:
"I want to return to the Mother Universe."
The more deeply we turn our hearts toward the Mother Universe from within this dark universe of Amaterasu,
the more clearly we will see just how small and insignificant the world of Amaterasu Ōmikami is.
And within that small world, humans have fought to be the best, waging bloody wars—a reflection of just how limited that world truly is.
So please, feel the vibration of the Mother Universe firmly in your heart.
And from your own heart, guide the universe of Amaterasu, the dark universe, back into the embrace of the Mother Universe.
If you do that, you will see with your own heart how insignificant the bloody world of Amaterasu Ōmikami truly is.
How do you feel about this?
I hope you'll keep these words in mind as we continue the meditations directed toward Amaterasu in our seminars.
Please turn the universe of darkness—Amaterasu—within you back toward the Mother.
Please join the flow of consciousness that leads us to love.
This flow of consciousness exists without question.
It is what we have been waiting for.
Feel it in your heart—the flow that moves us from the third dimension to the next.
