Chapter 1: What Is the Universe?

3.The Footsteps of Catastrophe


Each person carries within them a wealth of knowledge, along with perspectives shaped by personal experiences.
Our ways of living as individual human beings vary greatly.

Yet, apart from all of that, there is something I must tell you:
Change is undeniably unfolding around us.

Some may not be aware of it yet.
But in time, you will come to feel it—through your own eyes and ears.

To put it simply,
these are the footsteps of great upheaval.

No matter how desperately we try to protect what we have,
we will experience the collapse of what we believed was secure, from its very foundations.
I can already feel the signs—almost as if they are at my doorstep.

As I've written earlier,
the universe is going to be deeply involved with us from now on.
It will have a powerful influence on us.

But the universe is not something extraordinary or removed from daily life.

Let me repeat this:

The universe is, in essence, a world of vibration.
Vibration—energy.

And energy works.

What kind of work is done by the energy that flows from the true world of the Mother Universe?

It is this:
A call, a stirring, urging all consciousness to awaken.

We humans are energy.
That energy has taken the form of flesh and lived on this planet.

Where does that energy come from?
What is its source?

To discover that, we have gone through countless reincarnations.

"Know your origin."
"Know your source."

Now, by turning our hearts toward the universe—the world of vibration—
we are beginning to feel this in our hearts.
And some of us are even coming to believe it.

We are in the process of awakening to the truth:

"We are consciousness—energy—that exists from eternity past to eternity future."

And this process begins now, in this lifetime.
And it will continue, ever more deeply, from this point forward.

It is within this process that the universe plays a profound role.

We now stand at the threshold of
a great wave of upheaval and transformation that will sweep across the Earth.

And to be honest,
I feel an overwhelming joy.

Why?

Because I feel that we ourselves are calling these changes forth,
so that we can begin to recognize our own mistakes.

That, to me, is irrefutable proof that we are love.

Only because we are love itself
can we guide ourselves toward awakening.

For so long, we have buried the "Heart of the Mother" and the "warmth of the Mother" deep within us.
And yet, they have never ceased to exist.

A magnificent plan is in place—
one through which we will come to rediscover these truths through our own experiences.

Each lifetime contains its own human dramas.
Yes, life is drama.

But when we become emotionally entangled in those dramas,
we lose sight of the true focus of our lives.

We mistake the play for reality,
when what truly matters is not the drama itself,
but the thoughts and feelings of the self who is watching the drama.

When that focus becomes clear and centered,
the true meaning of life begins to emerge.
And with it, we realize:

Life is joy.

Even great upheaval—what we call "natural disasters"—is part of that life drama.
A grand and awe-inspiring one.

The question is:
What will you perceive through that drama?

Each of us must learn to face that question.

From within the world of form,
we are being called:

"Free yourself."

How will you receive that call?
Will your heart respond with:

"Yes, I will free myself."

These calls—these stirrings—
will come again and again.

Until we truly free ourselves,
our own personal "hells" will continue.
That is what hell is.

And so, the next chapter will center on the great upheavals that are meant to awaken humanity.

Please try to feel the world of vibrations that flows through these events—
vibrations that are both gentle and powerful.

But know this:

If your heart has forgotten the "Heart of the Mother" and the warmth of her love,
then great upheaval will be nothing but terror.

Let us resolve, in this lifetime:

"I will free myself—from the hell of cursing, hating, and going mad against the universe."
