This chapter presents the author's attempt to communicate with his deceased father's consciousness, through which he verifies, within his own heart, that consciousness continues to exist after death.
The turning point in the author's life was the death of his father, which initiated what he describes as a "turning of consciousness." Motivated by a deep wish to convey the warmth he had come to feel within himself, he begins to speak to his father's consciousness.
At first, his father's consciousness appears trapped in a heavy, closed, and painful state, unable to express itself. However, through repeated efforts of directing gentle thoughts, small responses begin to emerge. Gradually, the father's consciousness starts to speak—revealing a life shaped by seeking God and Buddha, binding himself through discipline, and living in inner coldness and loneliness.
As the dialogue continues, a shift becomes evident. The father begins to recognize the warmth he had abandoned—the presence of the Mother—and expresses a desire to open his heart. He reflects on his past, acknowledges his mistakes, and begins to feel relief and the ability to "breathe" within his consciousness.
Eventually, he declares his intention to be reborn, to face his inner world, and to dismantle the rigid beliefs he once held. He expresses a strong wish to reunite with the author after 250 years and to walk together on the path of truth.
Through this entire process, the author confirms that when one truly learns with the heart, consciousness can act as vibration and energy, reaching even those in deep suffering. This, he realizes, is the true purpose of human existence—to take on a physical body and return to love through inner awakening.
本章では、著者が亡き父の意識に語りかける試みを通して、「死後も意識は存在する」という学びを自らの心で確かめていく過程が描かれている。
父の死を契機に意識の転回の緒についた著者は、温もりの世界を父に伝えたいという思いから対話を試みた。初めは重く閉ざされた状態にあった父の意識も、語りかけを重ねる中で、少しずつ心を開き、自らの苦しみや過去の生き方を語り始める。
特に、神仏を求め自らを縛ってきた生き方への気づきと反省、そして母の温もりへの回帰が表れてくる。やがて父は、再び転生し心を見つめていく決意を語り、250年後の再会を約束する。
この一連の体験を通して、著者は、心で学ぶことで意識はエネルギーとして働きかけることができること、そしてそれこそが人間が肉を持つ本来の意味であることを確認していく。
