Most people today live on a foundational worldview that regards the visible, tangible world—what we can see, hear, and touch—as the only real world. This is referred to as Foundation A. Society operates entirely within this realm, where individuals are defined by their names, appearances, possessions, status, and roles. At the core of this structure lies a deeply ingrained belief in money as the ultimate symbol of happiness and success. From this belief arises constant conflict, competition, and the commodification of even human relationships and life itself.
Even concepts like sincerity or compassion risk becoming transactional. Within this framework, saving a life is glorified, yet even life's worth is often measured by wealth. War, inequality, and inner turmoil persist because the foundation itself is built on external form. Whether one lives in the city or countryside, the battle within the heart continues; geography cannot alter the energy we emit from within.
People may turn to faith, believing in gods, spirits, or mysterious powers. But without understanding the energy they hold within—without turning inward to examine their own consciousness—they unknowingly remain in conflict. Even negotiated peace between nations or individuals is superficial if the underlying energy of aggression remains.
Despite its seeming strength, this foundation based on form is fragile—like a castle built on sand. No matter how firmly we believe in its reality, it will inevitably collapse. This inevitable collapse is part of what the author calls "the flow of consciousness." We are invited to awaken to this inner flow and return to the truth of who we are—not beings defined by form, but by the invisible, living consciousness within.
私たちは、目に見える形の世界(A)を現実として信じ、それを土台に人生を築いてきました。
名前や顔、財産、地位など、すべてがAの上で成立しています。特に現代社会は、金銭至上主義が根強く、人間関係や命の価値さえもお金で計られる傾向にあります。
さらに、形を本物とする土台では、争いや戦いのエネルギーが絶えず流れ、平和や調和は根本的に実現しません。その象徴が、心の中にある目に見えぬ「戦場」です。
神や仏、パワーといった形のないものを信じていても、自分の心が何を握っているかを知らなければ、内なる闘争は終わりません。このような形に依存する思いこそが、悲劇や不調和を生む根源です。
しかし、この堅固と思われたAの土台も、実は風や揺れで崩れる砂上の楼閣であり、いずれ必ず崩壊します。そのとき、意識の流れに目覚め、自らの本質に立ち返ることが求められているのです。
