この章では、一般的に語られる宇宙(太陽・月・銀河など)から一度心を離し、著者が「宇宙」と呼ぶ本当の世界は、目に見えないエネルギーとして自分の中に存在するものであると説く。
宇宙は外に広がる無限空間ではなく、心で感じる波動の世界であり、そのエネルギーこそが本来の自分であるという。
人は肉体を自分だと思い込んでいるが、正しい瞑想を通して心を見るなら、肉体という枠に収まらない自分の広がりを感じられるようになる。やがてその感覚が深まれば、日常の風景さえ違って見え、内側で「宇宙の風」がそよぎ始めると著者は語る。
人が宇宙に夢やロマンを抱くのは、自らの中に眠る宇宙のエネルギーが目覚めの時を迎えつつあるからかもしれない。これからの人生では、その壮大なエネルギーを自らの肉を通して知り、本当の自分へと目覚めていく激しいプロセスを誰もが経験していくと結ばれる。
."The Wind of Universe "
– Do We Humans Truly End with Death? –
In this chapter, the author asks readers to set aside the familiar image of the universe—sun, moon, planets, and distant galaxies—and consider a very different meaning of “universe.” The scientific cosmos may inspire dreams and curiosity, but the universe the author speaks of is not something external. It is an invisible, vibrational world felt within the heart. This “universe” is energy, and because human beings are also energy, the author insists that each person is, in essence, the universe itself.
People normally identify themselves with the single physical body they see, but through looking within and practicing correct meditation, one gradually realizes that one’s existence is not confined to a small, temporary form. A sense of expansion arises, and the meaning of “heart” itself becomes far broader than previously assumed. When this inner perception awakens, everyday scenery begins to feel subtly different—as if a faint breeze from the universe has begun to move within. Something indefinable starts to shift inside, signaling contact with a far-reaching dimension of one’s true self.
The author suggests that humanity’s long-standing fascination with space may reflect a deeper longing: the call of our own inner universe gradually awakening from a long sleep. The coming period, she says, will guide people through experiences that stir this inner energy, pushing each person toward the realization of their true nature. This awakening will not be easy, for individuals must confront the immense energies they have accumulated through many lifetimes and feel them directly through their physical form. Even glimpsing a small part of this process may be enough to close the present life with meaning, for it marks the beginning of returning to one’s authentic existence as energy—the universe within.
