Chapter 4:
The energy that causes one to make the mistake
of asking others for salvation



What do you think the energy that causes one to make the mistake of asking others for salvation is? Because we all came to believe that our physical bodies are ourselves, all of us without exception are full of the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation. In addition, all of us means "all of us," including not only those who like worshipping god(s), Buddha, and some power of the universe but also others who do not necessarily worship such entities. Humans have for long been generating such energies that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation.

Therefore, please ask yourself the following: "Do you have a particular entity that you worship? Even if you don't, don't you still have something that you turn to for support when in trouble?"

Recently, Japan has also began to see horrifying incidents involving religions. Likely due to such incidents, people tend to avoid getting themselves involved in religions or tend to deal with religions with caution. Nevertheless, if you have something to turn to for support when in trouble, whether it be a tangible object or not, that is your religion. Things that we turn to for support when in trouble have their roots deep in our daily life. We live our daily life together with things that we turn to for support when in trouble, sad, or hurt. Such things usually have their own place in our lives. Because they are so deeply rooted in our everyday life, we may not even notice that having something like that is the same thing as having a religion. For instance, music also, depending on the way one listens to it, can be a religion. Our thoughts that listening to music can heal us are interrelated with the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation. Of course, music is just one example. Anything outside ourselves in which we indulge ourselves can become a religion. If we want to realize that we are full of the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation, we need to reflect on our hearts when turning to the things we seek support from when in trouble. When listening to music, I do not think we are just doing so because it helps us relax or heals us. I believe when listening to music, we are also seeking some mysterious power.

In addition, I believe those who were born and/or brought up in regions where people customarily worship deities think they are just practicing such custom, not a religion.

My point is that we are all full of the energy of religions, which causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation. But it is natural to be full of such energies because we never knew that religions were full of such energies. We have been accumulating such energies over the course of our countless past reincarnations. Regardless of whether we are aware of the fact that we are full of the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation, we all pursued god(s), Buddha, and/or other powers over the course of our past reincarnations.

Regardless of the foregoing, why is it that some of us are currently interested in religions while others are uninterested to the degree that they even hate religions?

Such expressions as god, god's child, the world of consciousness, and the world of vibrations do sound extraordinary.

I assume most people would generally have second thoughts about getting themselves involved in a study that teaches about the invisible world, or a world that one needs to feel with one's heart. Many people like such concepts as god(s), Buddha, and the powers of the universe, but when it comes to religions, most people immediately refuse to have anything to do with them.

I myself thought this study of the heart was another religion when I first heard about it. So I could say that I also refused to have anything to do with this study at first. Now looking back at what I learned through pursuing this study, I am convinced that we refuse to have anything to do with any religion because we have pursued god(s), Buddha, and various other powers in our past lifetimes without success.

The study of the heart taught by Mr. Tomekichi Taike today might be easier to approach than back in the days when I first began to pursue the study because today it uses such phrases as "the world of consciousness" and "the world of vibrations" instead of those like "god" and "god's child."

In addition, if I were asked whether the energy that causes one to make the mistake of asking others for salvation is weaker in those who are uninterested in religions or claim to be an atheist compared to those who indulge themselves in a religion or at least show some interest, I would have to say, "No."

Even those who say something along the lines of, "I will not have anything to do with any religion. Please do not try to get me involved in one," do radiate the energy of prayer.

Those who are more sensitive than others often claim to be an atheist. Therefore, I believe those who claim to be an atheist in fact need to take some time out of their lives to reflect on themselves.

If one is an atheist and comes to understand with his/her heart why he/she had been refusing to have anything to do with a religion, I believe, he/she would truly begin to guide himself/herself toward the invisible world properly.

However, we are all busy with such tasks as work, housework, childcare, school, hobbies, and nursing. Once established, patterns in life are not easy to change. Being busy throughout the day myself, I assume finding the time to relax or enjoy one's hobby is the best most people in general can do.

First of all, I assume most people would naturally not know what it means to reflect on themselves. Even if a person tried to reflect on himself/herself, if he/she did not know what it meant to do so, I believe the best he/she could do is reflect on himself/herself between now and the day he/she was born. I assume such a person would then try to make sense of life, based on such reflection. Making sense of life is impossible without reflecting on the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation, which energy we ourselves asked to have in the first place. Nevertheless, because we have become so used to having such energy accumulated inside us, we tend to try to lead our life the best we can at every corner of life without reflecting on ourselves.

Some people are interested in fortune-telling and curses and in the spiritual world. Others believe in god(s) and Buddha, pray to them, and ask for their blessing. Yet, others are not interested in anything other than money and spend most of their time on trying to earn money. What someone is interested in differs from one person to another. However, what we all have in common is the fact that we are full of the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation.

Converting such energy to the energy of joy is what we need to do from here on. Converting the energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation is a big challenge that awaits us. Of course, those who believe their physical body as being themselves have no chance at overcoming this challenge. The only way we can overcome this challenge is by awakening the energy of true love inside ourselves and radiating that energy of love to others. In addition, I would like to say that the energy of true love is currently moving in that direction.

I look forward to seeing readers also become one of us taking up the challenge of awakening the energy of true love inside ourselves by reflecting on their own energy that causes us to make the mistake of asking others for salvation. Please realize that you have made the mistake of accumulating such energy and put effort into awakening the energy of true love inside yourself. I look forward to seeing readers realize as soon as possible that they have the power needed to convert the energy that causes them to make the mistake of asking others for salvation to the energy of true love.
