8. Tomekichi Taike: A Connection |
|---|
Now, through the person called Tomekichi Taike, I am feeling within my heart the world of Tomekichi Taike.
The world of Tomekichi Taike is a world of vibration.
And my world too is a world of vibration.
The consciousness that came to convey the truth, and the consciousness that forgot the truth and continued to suffer in anguish—
their meeting has now become a reality.
Originally, we were one.
And yet, we rejected that oneness.
We did not want to be the same.
We did not want to be equal.
This history of the heart has continued from the distant past, endlessly.
Within this three-dimensional world of form—of height, width, and depth—we have only intensified those feelings.
We continued to strengthen our awareness of ourselves as separate, individual forms.
We wanted to build our own worlds.
We wanted to assert our own power.
We wanted to stand at the very top.
It can be said that our past incarnations were the process of continuously amplifying such energies.
All of these thoughts, of course, are darkness—blackness.
The mind that distinguishes between "self" and "others,"
the impulse to place those who are easy to control under one's authority,
and to fight against and eliminate those who are not—
such energies have been accumulated within our hearts.
For example, the consciousness called Amaterasu, which will appear frequently from here on—
In simple terms, Amaterasu represents the energy of darkness, of blackness.
And yet, it is precisely this black energy, represented by Amaterasu, that has been waiting for the consciousness of Tomekichi Taike.
Originally, everything existed within one unified world.
And yet, we ourselves abandoned that world.
We wanted to come to know that fact within ourselves.
We wanted to free ourselves from the suffering, pain, and emptiness of a heart that cries, "I am the greatest."
Those consciousnesses with especially strong such tendencies have, in this lifetime, taken on physical form in Japan—the land of Amaterasu—and have gathered in the learning of Tomekichi Taike.
Within an overwhelming darkness, they have long awaited, in this lifetime, an encounter with the consciousness that would convey the truth.
For those consciousnesses who have come together to learn, this was their plan.
Of course, whether that plan is carried out as intended is a matter for each individual.
But the existence of such a plan—that much is a fact.
Naturally, the opportunity to awaken to one's true self is given equally to all.
Even if one does not encounter it in this lifetime, there are plans in which, through the turbulent reincarnations to come, one meets again 250 years from now—when we take on physical form once more—and then smoothly aligns oneself with the flow of consciousness.
I can feel in my heart the existence of such consciousnesses.
Which means that the reincarnations on Earth that lie ahead will be all the more intense and extraordinary.
Now, please listen to the exchange between the consciousness that came to convey the truth and the consciousness that forgot the truth and has continued to suffer—
and also to the joy of the consciousness that has come into contact with the world of truth.
I am Tomekichi Taike.
I am a consciousness that came to convey the truth.
That consciousness has taken on a single physical body.
As you feel, I have come to convey the truth.
In order to convey the truth here on Earth, in this three-dimensional world, I too needed a physical body.
So I prepared one for myself.
I took on a body in Japan, the land of Amaterasu—
in order to awaken the consciousness of Amaterasu.
To awaken that consciousness which has dominated this universe,
I prepared a body and an environment in Japan—
an environment in which the heart can be observed.
To take on a body is no small matter.
With this body, I descended into this three-dimensional hell.
I have felt within myself the state of that hell.
Not because I needed to transform my own consciousness—
as you know, I do not undergo reincarnation—
but simply because, by taking on a body, I came to know that state.
In a sense, I had to descend to your level of consciousness.
In such circumstances, I have lived this lifetime as a human being,
through my work, through my family,
seeing and feeling the foolishness of humanity.
My wife, my children—
all are beings carrying within them a dark, accumulated history of ignorance.
And together with them, I have shared time and space until today.
Yet none of this shakes my fundamental intention.
Because I am the consciousness that came to convey the truth.
Everything I see is but a passing image.
Even if my heart seems to waver through the body,
if I turn inward, even for a moment,
everything returns to being no more than an image.
Nothing stirs waves within me.
In this way, I live each day.
Yes—Tomekichi Taike. I am Kayo Shiokawa.
I have walked with you on the path of truth.
Within me are countless past lives—
unlike you, I have carried a universe of darkness within my heart.
With countless suffering consciousnesses,
I have come into this lifetime with this one body.
Naturally, it was not easy for me to turn toward the direction you indicated.
Yet as I continued to look within my heart,
I realized how strongly I had staked everything on this lifetime.
Because I knew in my heart that you would come to Japan in this lifetime,
I too had to be born here.
I had once ruled the universe through vast, powerful energies.
That is precisely why I staked this lifetime on transforming my consciousness.
Together with you—the consciousness that came to convey truth—
I planned to take on a body,
to look at myself, to change myself.
And I know this firmly within myself.
That is why, when I think of you,
a world of infinite joy expands within me.
This is my awakening—
the awakening of consciousness.
My awakening is real.
Everything unfolded according to plan.
Over the next 250 years,
together with you, I will transform the universe.
And 250 years from now,
we will be born again at the same time, in nearly the same place.
This is already a clear reality within me.
The heart that has lived in the world of Amaterasu—
each must look at that heart within themselves.
We cannot avoid Amaterasu.
The energy that expanded its power throughout the universe—
that very energy has now gathered here to look at itself.
Because we once directed our hearts toward Amaterasu,
we have been able to gather here in this lifetime.
Therefore, those who have taken on a body in Japan—
please look deeply at the heart of Amaterasu.
Unless we face that heart,
we cannot transform the universe within us into joy.
That is how deeply Amaterasu has permeated our hearts.
Even those who worship other religions—
if they feel the world of consciousness,
they will find Amaterasu within.
The energy of Amaterasu remains in every heart.
To face that is to reflect on reliance on external power.
First, Amaterasu.
Direct your thoughts there.
And send warmth, send gentleness.
I have long searched for the truth.
In doing so, I accumulated energies of reliance on external power.
Yet in this lifetime, I encountered you.
This encounter was essential.
Without it, I would have remained in darkness forever.
Now I feel that deeply.
That is why, when I call your name, I feel immense joy.
Over the next 250 years,
I will continue to direct my thoughts toward the universe.
And then, I will carry those thoughts into my next life—
and continue walking with you.
Even now, my consciousness is already waiting in America,
ready for that future.
My heart is free.
I feel within me a vast universe of consciousness.
Within the darkness I once spread,
the gentle warmth of Mother now reaches me.
The transformation of my universe
becomes a great force for transforming consciousness itself.
For that reason, I took on this body in Japan—
to meet Tomekichi Taike.
Now I continue to expand that world within me.
That is my joy.
My work is to awaken the universe within.
And to convey joy—
to spread joy—
to all.
Yes—joy.
I feel the joy of Amaterasu.
Amaterasu is no longer suffering, fear, or loneliness.
Amaterasu is immense power—
but now that power has changed in quality.
The Amaterasu within me is gentle, warm, and steady.
Because it now knows its true nature.
Amaterasu walks together with Tomekichi Taike.
And so, I can move forward in joy.
This path cannot be bent.
It is the path to the Mother Universe.
Mother—I am happy.
When I think of you, I am filled with happiness.
I want only to convey that.
In this lifetime, I have taken on a body in Japan.
Through speaking of Amaterasu,
my learning now enters its final stage.
I will complete this learning within myself.
And then, with gratitude,
I will move forward.
I love Amaterasu from the depths of my heart.
And based on that love,
I will continue to speak of it.
