This concluding chapter offers a comprehensive reflection on the journey of "Turning Consciousness," urging readers to seriously confront their inner selves if they wish to awaken to truth. There are no shortcuts, tricks, or easy paths. The only method is to patiently and repeatedly engage in the practice of "looking at your heart." Those who cling to the belief that the material world is real and absolute cannot begin this process, as their foundation remains too rigid. But when that foundation starts to shift, even slightly, the path inward becomes possible.
The practical starting point is to confront one's feelings toward one's mother, honestly and without embellishment. This can be done by writing freely in a notebook, bringing to light the thoughts and emotions buried beneath everyday politeness. These feelings—grievances, expectations, resentments—are not unique to the mother but are often projected onto others as well. Observing this is the first phase of heart-centered self-reflection.
Parallel to this, the chapter encourages reviewing one's past engagement with religion, prayer, superstition, or the search for power. These too are driven by hidden desires—"I want help," "I want to be saved," "I want power"—which reveal how deeply self-centered and externally dependent our hearts have been. Recognizing this is crucial to changing the direction of one's life.
The chapter foresees that unexpected, even catastrophic, events—such as natural disasters—may become necessary to disrupt entrenched beliefs in the material world. These events are not punishments but planned opportunities, designed by the consciousness itself to prompt awakening. There is no such thing as fate or destiny imposed from outside—everything is self-planned and self-led.
The ultimate message is that every person carries within them a "real self," a true source of love and awareness that has been patiently guiding the false self toward awakening. When one can truly feel this inner voice—felt as vibration, not words—it will be unmistakable joy. By following this vibration and aligning with its quiet guidance, one can begin to live in accordance with their deepest truth.
The chapter closes with an invitation: not to anchor oneself in daily routines, but to remember why we were born, to recognize the deeper meaning behind our work, family, and health, and to take one more step inward—where love awaits, calling us to walk together in joy.
この章は「意識の転回」の総まとめとして、真実に目覚めるために必要な姿勢と方法を説いています。意識の転回には近道も裏技もなく、唯一「心を見る」作業を粘り強く続けることが求められます。形の世界を本物と信じる限り、転回は起こらず、その基盤が揺らぎ始めたとき初めて、内面に向かう道が開かれます。
具体的な実践として、母親に対する思いをノートに書き出すことから始め、自分の心が放ってきたエネルギーを感じていくことが重要だとされます。また、宗教や他力信仰に依存してきた思いも見直し、自分の心の奥に潜む欲や恐れに気づくことが必要です。
さらに、今後起こるであろう天変地異のような大きな出来事も、真実に目覚めるための促しであり、それは偶然ではなく、自らの意識が計画したこと。日々の生活に埋没せず、「なぜ生まれてきたのか」を見つめる中で、自分の存在意義と本当の喜びに目覚める道が拓けると締めくくられています。
