As I wrote in Chapter 3, Section 4, "Taike Tomekichi's Universe Was the Mother Universe," it was in this lifetime that I finally came to realize, within myself, the union of my thoughts toward the Mother Universe and the thoughts that have been sent to me from the Mother Universe. I have included those thoughts here, as a postscript.
Also, whenever I think of the Mother Universe, my thoughts turn naturally to this planet Earth, which has been the setting for our study. Thus, I have also included a selection titled Beloved Earth, excerpted from my book Winds of the Universe.
Thoughts Toward the Mother Universe
We have undergone countless incarnations here on Earth, all in an effort to return to You. If we include the time before our lives on Earth, then we are beings who have wandered through the universe for an unimaginably long time, searching for You. After having once forsaken You from the bottom of our hearts, we expanded a dark universe within ourselves. No matter how much we sought joy and happiness, all our efforts ended in failure. We resented You. We cursed You.
"Why did You abandon us? Why did You cast us down into such darkness?"
Even as our hearts cried out, "I want to return to You," we ourselves suppressed that cry. It has been a long journey—long and painful—and many of our fellow souls still remain lost, submerged in suffering, unaware of the truth.
And yet, in such a state, we have now been given this lifetime.
We are by no means a chosen few. Each of us has earnestly wished in our hearts to encounter the world of true vibrations during this lifetime, choosing our own bodies, our own circumstances, and vowing to gather for this study.
In fact, it is because we had fallen so far, into a state of utter hopelessness, that we gave ourselves this opportunity.
Among the friends who have gathered to study in this lifetime, there are still many who lack this awareness. But without question, we had made a solemn promise with ourselves.
To receive a physical body from our mothers and be born into this world is a chance granted to all consciousnesses.
However, to actually gather for study and come into contact with the world of true vibrations—that is an opportunity given only to a rare few. While some may have inflated their egos over this fact, I have simply rejoiced in it. I have been grateful for the chance to learn.
I discovered the joy of simply continuing to walk my own path.
By observing my heart and feeling my own energy, I have found myself nodding time and again, deeply resonating from within: "Yes, it's true."
Now, when I close my eyes and think of my mother, when I think of the universe, a world of vibration surely responds. No, even without closing my eyes, even a passing thought brings joy.
Carrying countless thoughts from the past, countless past selves within my heart, I now feel the presence of this physical body as something completely natural. I feel that I am a collective of consciousness.
Each of those selves brings me messages of joy.
"At last… yes, finally, finally we can return to our Mother."
That realization, that return, is what brings us the deepest joy.
"We were never born for suffering. It was we who abandoned our Mother. She had always been calling to us."
All of them—each and every one—now says so in unison.
"Mother… thank you."
From the depths of my being, I feel the rising wave of joyful thoughts. There are no words that can fully express the happiness and joy of this moment.
In that sense too, this physical lifetime is truly the most blessed time and space I've ever known.
Mother, I will continue to look within myself and steadily prepare to return to the Mother Universe. That is my joy. That is my happiness.
Our universe is waiting for us. It is waiting with joy.
To the body of Tomekichi Taike, who conveyed this truth to me, I feel nothing but gratitude. My heart overflows with thanks.
Through our meeting, I have finally come to understand that my own universe is joy itself—and that I am one with the universe of joy.
It was a world of vibrations. By receiving the vibrations of the universe in my heart, expanding them within me, and then turning my thoughts toward the universe, I have come to feel with certainty just how blessed I truly am.
Thoughts from the Mother Universe
Thank you. Thank you for turning your heart toward me. I have always believed in you. I have believed in you and waited for you, endlessly and patiently.
The universe will now begin to change, rapidly and continuously. Please accept my thoughts with joy. Let us expand this joy together.
We are one. Please continue to hold thoughts of your mother in your heart.
There is only one person in this world who has conveyed the truth to you—that is your mother, the one who gave birth to you. Know that unless you come into contact with the true thoughts of your mother, you will understand nothing, and nothing within you will change.
As you begin to look around yourself, you will be confronted more and more strongly with how foolish it is to regard the physical form as real.
All you need to do is align the needle of your heart with me and keep your thoughts directed toward the Mother Universe.
Of course, your heart will receive various vibrations. If you don't know how to align the needle of your heart, or if you are unfamiliar with the vibrations of the Mother Universe, you will be overwhelmed by them.
But there is no need to worry. The warmth and expansive vibrations you are surely feeling within your heart will embrace all of that with ease.
I have asked those of you who have gathered to study to continue your learning.
I have told you many times, "Whether you save yourself or not, it is all your own doing. That is the nature of the world of consciousness."
What remains now is for each of you to put what you've learned into practice.
As you already know, the time leading up to 250 years from now will be a time of great upheaval. Humanity will pass through a period of turmoil unlike anything it has ever experienced before.
And then, we will meet again, 250 years from now.
I am so happy—so deeply, deeply happy. The fact that we can share this joy together is my greatest happiness.
In 250 years, I hope to rejoice and expand joy with as many of you as possible.
Please, be born in joy, and die in joy.
Why are you born? Why do you die? In the time you are given, please turn your heart to your mother and ask yourself.
Your mother will surely tell you:
"Return to me. That is your happiness. Believe that you can return to your own joy. I am waiting. I will wait forever."
From the Mother Universe, I now send this message to all of you:
"My joy is your joy. Your joy is my joy. I am always, always waiting within your heart. I will never stop waiting for the moment when you respond to me."
Beloved Earth
Let us turn our hearts to this planet Earth, where we are currently living our lives.
Earth is consciousness. I feel its gentle, gentle consciousness.
Earth has constantly, unceasingly conveyed kindness to us.
It is a consciousness that exists within the Mother Universe. One form of that consciousness has manifested as the Earth.
On this Earth, we have prepared the time to reflect upon ourselves while possessing physical forms, over a long, long span of time.
When I turn my thoughts to Earth, the feeling that arises is:
"Earth, thank you—truly, thank you."
It is Earth's kindness that has taken in the energy we have continued to release.
How fierce the energy we have radiated as we existed on this planet has been.
And yet, what returns to us from Earth is nothing but gentleness. Warmth. It has continued to give us reminders—nudges toward realization and awakening.
Now, I am thinking of the Earth, which exists within the Mother Universe.
And Earth is responding.
The energy you have poured into us—we are now going to return that energy to you.
But what we return to you is nothing but joy.
We will return to you the energy you sent, through the thoughts of joy. Please, feel this within each of your hearts.
Please receive our thoughts.
We will return it to you in the form of natural disasters—cataclysms.
We are a part of the Mother Universe. With our hearts united with that universe, we will release the joyful energy of cataclysms from within us.
To all the conscious beings currently inhabiting physical bodies on Earth: please receive this joyful energy of cataclysms.
And please, awaken—come to know your true selves.
That is the task of the next 250 to 300 years.
Please receive the consciousness of us, the Earth, deeply and firmly in your hearts.
We are joy. We are the consciousness of joy within the Mother Universe.
Now, I am listening to the thoughts of the Earth.
From the far reaches of the universe, energies are gathering toward Earth.
In physical form, this may appear as the arrival of meteorites.
But all of it is energy of joy, expanding throughout the universe.
Within this, the Earth itself will erupt with the energy of joy.
In this way, the universe becomes one, overflowing with the energy of joy.
Everything is happening within the Mother Universe. These are events within her warmth. These are events taking place within love itself.
Earth will change its orbit.
With such tremendous energy, it is conveying the truth to us—those who have not yet come to know what is real.
Within the Mother Universe, we are all being awaited—to unite our hearts and return to joy.
We descended upon this blue, shining star called Earth, and we have spent a long, long time here.
All of it was in order to return to the Mother Universe.
With thoughts of gratitude to the Earth, I will remain in this space just a little while longer.
Now, as I turn my thoughts inward and reflect upon the time I have spent with this Earth, I feel a flood of emotion for having descended here, and for having been given the form of a physical body countless times.
It is a joy to set the path firmly toward the Mother Universe, and to bid farewell to the kind Earth.
When I turned my thoughts to Earth, these thoughts quietly arose from my heart:
"Earth will change its own orbit."
Yes, Earth itself will change its orbit, and massive natural cataclysms will begin to occur on its surface.
Vast lands, islands, will sink beneath the ocean.
Cataclysms even greater than those we have experienced in the past will unfold.
Long ago, we each held a physical body somewhere when great continents sank—we lived through those events.
But the coming cataclysms will far exceed those past experiences, and they will unfold over the next 250 to 300 years.
Continents will sink. In an instant, they will disappear beneath the sea.
Earth itself will change its orbit.
It is an incredible energy. An immense force will be at work in the universe, within the world of consciousness.
It will be on a truly unimaginable scale—something that will shake the entire universe into motion.
It is clear that this will be unlike anything we have seen before.
Many of the consciousnesses currently living in physical form on Earth will go through profound inner experiences.
And that is precisely why—when we meet again 250 years from now—those consciousnesses, stunned into numbness, will be able to shock themselves awake, and come to life once more.
These cataclysms will come alongside the universe itself. Now, I am thinking of the Earth, which will fulfill a great role within the universe.
