The term "Turning Consciousness" refers to a complete reversal in how we perceive our existence: from identifying with the physical body to realizing that our true essence is consciousness, vibration, and energy. This shift is likened to the Copernican revolution—moving from a geocentric to a heliocentric worldview—signifying a 180-degree transformation at the foundational level of our thoughts and perspectives.
Our current worldview, which sees the tangible world as reality, blocks us from understanding the true nature of our existence. According to this teaching, we are born to achieve this turning of consciousness. Without it, even those who claim to sense invisible forces or offer spiritual guidance can remain trapped in a false foundation, mistakenly identifying themselves with their physical bodies. This misalignment leads to self-deception, and their guidance becomes dangerous rather than enlightening.
When we operate from a foundation that believes the physical world is real, we misinterpret life events—labeling them as negative. But in truth, every phenomenon is meant as a positive sign, urging us to awaken. Even though we may hear similar teachings elsewhere, only the foundation—whether it is rooted in form or in formless consciousness—determines the true vibration behind the words.
Ultimately, this introduction urges readers to deeply question the foundation of their understanding and realize that all genuine transformation begins with a shift in consciousness. The entire book revolves around this single yet profound message: nothing can be understood without turning our consciousness.
「意識の転回」とは、私たちの存在の本質が肉体ではなく、意識・波動・エネルギーであるという理解へと土台から考えを180度転換することです。これは「コペルニクス的転回」に例えられています。
見える世界を本物と捉え、目に見えない世界を軽んじる従来の思考では、自分の本当の姿や本当の喜びには決してたどり着けません。人は皆、この意識の転回を成すために生まれてきたとされます。
霊的な力を語り人を導こうとする人々も、意識の転回がなければ本質を見誤ります。形ある世界を本物とする土台では、現象をマイナスと受け止めがちですが、実際にはすべての現象が気づきと学びのためのプラスであると説かれます。
すべての鍵は、「意識の転回」にあるということが、本書全体を貫く主題です。
