When You are Getting Controlled by Anger, Say “Ei!”

As I foretold in an article of this blog before, spiritual beings from other worlds have begun to possess people who have the same kind of spiritual vibrations as the spiritual beings. According to a TV news report the other day, a 19-year-old boy ran over a bank clerk and killed him. The boy said “I just wanted to kill somebody.” A passer-by who witnessed the scene replied in an interview “There was something weird about him. The mere sight of him made me scared.” The boy’s colleagues testified that he was normal until just before he caused the incident. Since the spiritual frequency of vibration of the earth has been heightening, spiritual beings can easily move, which phenomenon has never happened before.

• foretell　予告する
• article　記事
• possess　憑依する
• run over A　Aを轢く
• passer-by　通りがかりの人
• witness　目撃する
• incident　事件
• frequency　振動数
• heighten　高まる

Your past reincarnations result in your present state of mind. Spiritual beings come close to all human beings who are of the same mind as the spirits like a pair of magnets. Some people attract spirits from the World of Hell and others the World of Gods. Just as iron sand is attracted by magnets, spiritual beings are attracted naturally by human beings of the same kind.

• reincarnation　生まれ変わり
• magnet　磁石
• attract　引き付ける
• iron sand　砂鉄

Such people as attract spirits from the World of Hell have to repent of their sinful lives. In a way, they themselves are responsible for their possession. There are some people who tend to attract evil spirits because of their past lives, but the binding power of their tendency is not so strong. Because the way you live in this World of Reality causes such possession after all, you should not blame it on your past lives or karma you really don’t know. Conversely, you can attract good spirits, including your ancestral spirits, according to your good intentions and efforts. And with the stable state of mind, you could make efforts rightly and improve your present situations.

• repent　悔い改める
• possession　憑依
• binding power　拘束力
• blame A on B　AをBのせいにする
• improve　改善する

By the way, I’ve got a comment from a housewife like the following:

I’ve post a comment about my child. Every time I get mad at my son, a precious, lovable small boy, I scold him so violently. As I get more and more angry, my character changes like a devil. Filled with anger and hatred, I get into such a state as to kill somebody or cause an irremediable harm. I’ve hurt my son many times. At such times, I forget gratitude to God completely. Am I possessed by something then? My fear of other people might cause anger. I think we all don’t want to be hated or isolated, but I don’t want to too much.

• lovable　愛すべき
• iiremediable　取り返しのつかない
• completely　完全に
• fear　恐怖
• isolate　孤立させる

This housewife is so conscious of others that she makes herself, or Inner God, cower. In a sense, she has too much pride and is very afraid of being humiliated as if she were a warrior. She doesn’t seem to hold memorial services for her ancestors every day, which makes the protection of her by her ancestral spirits weak. And as a result, she has been affected by wicked wandering spirits. She has to continue holding memorial services firmly for her husband’s ancestors. It would be effective for her to offer the third incense stick to the spirits related to her and those of her aborted children related to her family line.

• conscious　意識して
• cower　萎縮する
• humiliate　恥をかかせる
• warrior　戦士
• protection  　保護
• wicked　邪な
• effective　効果のある
• aborted　中絶した

Child abuse is largely caused by the possession of spirits who have grudge against the family line. Therefore, it’s important that she hold the memorial services positively and calmly. It seems that she often has a vacant expression suddenly. This is one of the characteristics of the people who are overwhelmed by uncontrollable emotions.  She has a constitution to be possessed easily. I’m sure she can feel signs of her anger swelling inside. She knows it, bus she can’t control herself somehow.

• abuse　虐待
• grudge　恨み
• vacant　虚ろな
• charcteristic　特徴
• overwhelm　圧倒する
• constitution　体質

When you begin to feel anger, say “Ei !” shaking your head vertically. Saying it aloud will enhance its effectiveness. When others are around, say it to yourself shaking your head a little. In Shugendo（修験道）, Japanese mountain asceticism-shamanism incorporating Shinto and Buddhist concepts, there are many ways of psyching yourself up, but especially saying “Ei! ” deep down from your gut is good. You can purify yourself in a moment.

• vertically　縦に
• enhance　高める
• psych A up　Aに気合いを入れる
• purify　浄化する
• in a moment　一瞬で

As you hold memorial services for your ancestors and your Inner God manifests itself, the effectiveness of saying “Ei !” will increase.  Spiritually speaking, it’s like a knife turns into a butcher’s knife, then a sword and finally a divine sword. My sword is like a big ax flying away.  Why don’t you give it a try? In order to enhance the effectiveness, say the following words after saying “Ei!” ;

Lack of Concentration is Caused by the Clogging of Spiritual Lines

People cannot concentrate on things rightly with a lot of ancestral spirits wandering in their spiritual lines of their families or the magnetism of spiritual beings of the World of the Dead on their spiritual bodies. Affected by the vibration of magnetism of other spiritual beings all the time, they have difficulty concentrating on anything. Under such circumstances, they will make wrong choices and head for infelicitous circumstances naturally.

• concentrate　集中する
• wander　彷徨う
• magnetism　磁気
• vibration　波動
• infelictous　不幸な

This is true of children, too. Seeing children who can’t keep still, walking around the classroom without permission, I find that they’re always affected by spirits related to them because of the clogging of their spiritual lines. Their eyes wander. Their physical bodies are so pure that spirits can easily go into and out of their spiritual bodies. Every time another one goes into their spiritual bodies, their consciousnesses change and their focuses move. Though there is nothing wrong with their intellectual abilities, they can’t control their physical bodies. They’re crying at the bottom of their hearts.

• keep still　じっとした
• clogging　詰まり
• pure　純粋な
• consciousness　意識
• focus　焦点
• ability　能力

The same thing can be said about adults. Seeing women who can’ stop having affairs, I find that they are mentally unstable. Their minds are restless all the time at work and at home. They tend to cling to such men as others think have no good point, and once they awaken, they begin to search for other men. When a possessing spirit changes, the types of men they like also change. Adultery can be said to be a kind of spiritual problem caused by the clogging of spiritual lines.

• have an affair　不倫をする
• unstable　不安定な
• restless　落ち着かない
• cling　執着する
• adultery　不倫
• cause　引き起こす

When your spiritual line, which connects you to your ancestral spirits, is filthy, it is easy for you to be possessed by various spiritual beings. Trouble is when a male Yako（野狐, an evil spirit with the form of a fox） and a female Yako possess a man and a woman each, they lose control and get involved in affairs, abandoning their families. And as soon as Yako leave them, they awaken and begin to regret the choices they made.

• connect　結びつける
• Touble is　厄介なことに
• form　形
• each　それぞれ
• conscience　良心
• abandon　見捨てる
• awaken　目がさめる

There are some people who justify adultery by asserting that it’s a fateful meeting of souls or that it’s eternal love, but this is a foolish idea in fact. They are only being  possessed by Yako. You cannot remove Yako by traditional exorcism because it provides you no more than a temporary treatment. The reason why they are possessed by Yako is that they sympathize with Yako like “Birds of a feather flock together.” As Yako are all around, they will do the same thing over and over again.

• justify　正当化する
• assert　主張する
• fateful　運命的な
• eternal　永遠の
• illusion　幻想
• temporary　一時的な
• sympathize　同調する

To prevent this from happening, you have to cleanse your spiritual line by holding memorial services for your ancestral spirits so as not to be affected by evil spiritual beings. There is no other way for the protection against such spirits than by practicing memorial services for your ancestors with gratitude.

• prevent　防ぐ
• cleanse　綺麗にする
• protection　保護
• gratitude　感謝の気持ち

The more your spiritual dirt decreases, the more your ability to concentrate increases.  It seems that parents who hold memorial services for their ancestors even if by traditional Buddhist ceremonies, tend to have smart, calm children. The purification of the spiritual line of your family line does influence your children’s concentration power and academic ability.

• dirt　汚れ
• decrease　減る
• smart　頭の良い
• calm　穏やかな
• purification　浄化
• academic　学業の

Smile Shows Your Righteous Strength

The other day I had a chance to meet a man. He had a family member who worked at a hospital. According to him, the hospital had difficulty recruiting medical doctors because of short of doctors. A lot of emergency patients have been dying these days because of lack of proper emergency handling, which is becoming a big political issue.

• short of doctors　医師不足
• emergency patient　緊急患者
• political issue　政治問題

This problem begun to appear several years ago, but it’s been receiving inadequate coverage. Because of the delay in emergency treatment, a number of patients have been dead in fact. One of the causes of doctor shortage is medical lawsuits. It seems that the more passionate and sympathetic docotors are, the more likely they are to be sued by their patients because such good physicians often enhance their patients’ expectations too much by giving them kind words. Their encouraging words are interpreted by the patients as the assurance that their diseases are sure to be cured.

• inadequate　不十分な
• delay　遅れ
• medical lawsuit　医療訴訟
• sympathetic　同情的な
• sue　訴える
• enhance　高める
• interpret A as B  AをBだと解釈する
• assuarance　保証

As the economy grows worse and worse, bad persons may go into public hospitals on purpose and sue the state or the local government later to get a lot of money. Conscientious doctors may well lose their passion for medical treatment under such circumstances. In fact, the shortage of medical doctors is partly caused by the fact that weary doctors retire from practice or change their jobs.

• on purpose　わざと
• state　国
• may well ~　〜するのも当然だ
• conscientious　良心的な
• weary　嫌気がさした

By the way, according to the news report I saw on TV the other day, a passenger of a taxi accused the taxi driver falsely and extorted 30,000 yen from the driver, threatening to storm into the taxi company in a rage. All of this incident was recorded by the car camera recorder. A monthly salary of taxi drivers is said to be less than 150,000 yen on average. Since they have to work for many hours day and night, I think they are ill paid. If they catch such bad passengers, they should send them to the police directly pretending to be obedient to them, so as not to let him do the same thing to other taxi drivers, too.

• accuse　責める
• extort　強請る
• threaten　脅す
• incident　出来事
• ill paid　給料が安い
• obedient　従順な

Vicious claimers will increase in number who are possessed with spiritual beings of the World of Hell. Beware of such people. Fortunately, I have never been threatened by such a person before. Oh, there was one case on business where I was told by a customer to choose between a fight or paying him money. With a smile I said to him “Shall we go to the police?” Then he changed colour and made off.

• vicious　悪意のある
• possess　憑依する
• choose　選ぶ
• change color　顔色を帰る
• make off　退散する

Those are strong who are always conscious of being kept alive and live with the clear consciousness of death. Even if the client I mentioned above had not compromised with me and as a result I had been fired because of the problem, I would care nothing about it. I don’t need to worry because it’s not the matter of life and death. If I had betrayed my weakness, compromised with him and given him money, I would have got in trouble bringing about a bad result.

• conscious　意識して
• compromise　妥協する
• care　気にかける
• get in trouble　厄介なことになる
• bring about A　Aを引き起こす

After all, ordinary people are the strongest in the World of Reality who lead their lives with gratitude for being kept alive. If you run into a person like a spirit from Hell, all you have to do is deal with the person with a smile filled with magnetism of gratitude. Smile shows your righteous strength. It makes the other person feel your confidence that you are ready for a fight anytime and causes him a bottomless anxiety. Smile is your weapon.

• run into A　 Aに出くわす
• deal with A　Aに対処する
• magnetism　磁気
• righteous　正しい
• bottomless　底なしの

Whatever Happens, Keep Your “Pilot Light” Burning

The other day, I saw a TV program featuring the social problem that men in their thirties who were in the prime of life were losing their jobs rapidly. They say that, in rural areas, even part-time or temporary workers as well as regular employees are losing their jobs. This was not the case in Showa era. The Japanese society has never experienced such a severe recession before.

• feature　特集する
• rapidly　急速に
• rural　田舎の
• employee　従業員
• recession　不景気

In the 1940’s after the war, when there was nothing but burnt-out ruins in Japan, most Japanese people were poor, but the economy was developing every year steadily. In those days, the money put in time deposit more than doubled because of its interest.

• burnet-out ruin　焼け野原
• steadily　着実に
• time deposit　定期預金
• double　二倍になる

Our parents and grandparents, who founded and the base of Japanese economy and developed it, can be said to be the generation who knows only a developing society. That is, the generation who knows only developing economy has a big influence on  politics and is company presidents in the economic climate the Japanese society has faced for the first time. It seems that the generation can only come up with the plan of reducing the scale of economy and is worried about nothing but saving their own necks.

• found　作る
• generation　世代
• influence　影響
• politics　政治
• climate　環境
• reduce　減らす

I think the Japanese economic growth for the past ten years has actually been a negative growth or the status quo at best. A negative growth of economy is a fearful thing because the value of money in the bank decreases naturally. You have to live your life taking into account the yearly decrease of your income. You’re in the age in which it is difficult to live.

• growth　成長
• the status quo　現状維持
• decrease　減る
• take A into account　Aを考慮に入れる

A man appearing in the TV program was in his middle thirties and he graduated from a well-known private university. He quit his job in his first company in Tokyo in a few months because of a trouble with his colleagues. After that, he’s been drifting from job to job as a temporary worker in rural areas. He prepares his own meals, considering his monthly budget and health. I thought he was a tidy, excellent person and too good for unskilled labor.

• well-known　有名な
• quit　やめる
• colleague　同僚
• prepare　用意する
• budget　予算

Seeing him spiritually, I found that he lost his confidence at the first company. Once you’ve lost confidence, you become feeble, always making negative choices. In this World of Reality, a small success leads you to a bigger one. What matters is whether  you can have the confidence to accomplish goals by all means or whether you can keep on trying without a guarantee of success.

• confidence　自信
• feeble　弱い
• matter　重要である
• accomplish　成し遂げる
• by all means　何としても
• guarantee　保証

In the entertainment world, I hear, senior entertainers bully talented newcomers to make them lose their confidence for the purpose of keeping their positions. Only newcomers who’ve got over it can become successful. The successful entertainers often say later that such bullying by the senior entertainers was out of love, as if it were a heartwarming story, but the senior entertainers seem to have bullied them seriously, trying to survive in the entertainment world. This kind of thing often happens in ordinary society, too.

• bully　いじめる
• talented　才能のある
• newcomer　新人
• get over A　Aを乗り越える
• bullying　いじめ
• ordinary　普通の

Even if you fail or are beaten up, it’s important that you keep your pilot light burning in your heart. Your positive mind will illuminate your way and show which way to go. To lose confidence is to lower the pilot light. A spiritual pilot light does exist in your heart. If this holy fire is extinguished, you turns a wreck or may die. This pilot light can be said to be the light of a soul. Those who can’t believe even in themselves can’t believe in others, much less their Inner God. This is regrettable.

• beat A up　Aをひどい目にあわす
• pilot light　種火
• illuminate　照らす
• lower　弱める
• extinguish　消す
• wreck　廃人
• regrettable　残念な

Well, what should you do with the disappearing fire in your heart? Attending seminars on self-development may make you positive by suggestion, but it’s nothing but a temporary uplifting feeling. The same thing can be said about religions. Then what should you do? Only by using a practical, spiritual method can you make your pilot light burning again. It is to offer gratitude to your ancestral spirits, or your spiritual genes.If you can make your pilot light burning again by offering gratitude to your ancestors, you’re sure to have a positive state of mind. You would get confidence somehow without reasons. Then if you are beaten up, you can bear it and watch for a sign of revival.

• temporary　一時的な
• gratitude　感謝の気持ち
• gene　遺伝子
• be sure to~　必ず〜する
• bear　耐える
• revival　復活

It is like spraying water on the fire in your heart to have wandering ancestral spirits or other related ones generating negative vibration in your spiritual body. Such being the case, you can’t make the fire strong. If much water is sprayed on your fire, it can be almost extinguished and you can be severely depressed. To make your pilot light burning again, you have to stop the water from being sprayed on it above all by holding memorial services for your ancestors with gratitude and reminding yourself of gratitude to God.

• spray　噴霧する
• wander　彷徨う
• depressed　落ち込んだ
• remind　思い出させる
• above all　何にもまして

Villains are Saved who can be Aware of their being Villains

Shinran（親鸞）, the founder of Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism, once said “Good men can become Buddha, much more bad men.” He affirmed that even bad men could be Buddha absolutely. Hearing this, it is said, some people in those days did wrong things intentionally, claiming  that they did it to become Buddha. Since his saying became a social problem, Shinran said “You don’t need to take in poison because there is good medicine.”

• affirm　断言する
• social problem　社会問題
• medicine　薬

What I feel he wanted to say is the importance of recognition and awareness. Those are great who can be aware of their being bad persons, for they have already regretted and repented of his sins. As is common more or less in this world, some people think of their evil deeds as nothing and others something bad. Some neighbors take out their garbage on the days other than fixed ones without feeling guilty, for example. They are not even aware that they are doing wrong things.

• recognition　認識
• awareness　気づき
• regret　後悔する
• repend　懺悔する
• common　よくある
• fixed　決められた

Bad men Shinran referred to are villains who are aware that they are villains, not villains others cast stones at. There is a big difference between those who regard themselves as bad and those whom others regard as bad. This World of Reality is a dimension where it’s difficult to distinguish good from bad. Shakuson also told about the difficulty of recognizing things rightly and its importance. He suggested that if people failed to recognize things rightly, they would commit a sin without knowing it and make bad karma, which would affect their afterlives, too.

• refer　言及する
• villain　悪党
• regard　見なす
• dimension　次元
• sin　罪
• afterlife　来世

Then, what should you do? All you have to do is to live according to your conscience while you decrease your negative magnetism around your body by holding memorial services for your ancestral spirits with gratitude to them and being grateful to God. If you admit having done something wrong, you have only to do something good that surpasses the wrong thing. It’s best if you can do something good for others, including your family. If you can also console invisible beings such as your ancestral spirits on this journey called a life, your life is a better one.

• decrease　減らす

Continued Hypocrisy Turns Into True Virtue

We experience various kinds of emotions every day such as vexation, anxiety, anger,uneasiness, depravity, joy, hope and mercy. Our minds are always changing. Emitted spiritual magnetism of each emotion makes up your aura. It’s OK for you to get angry , feel anxiety or indulge in fantasies, but the point is it’s important that you overwrite the negative emotions by emitting more positive ones.

• vexation　悔しさ
• depravity　堕落
• indulge　耽る
• overwrite　上書きする

Negative emotions and positive emotions offset each other. And the more magnetism of the two makes up the color of your aura. Therefore, after you felt distressed, got angry, or had a grudge against someone during the day, you should overwrite the negative emotions by having positive emotions of gratitude at the end of the day. It’s not good to sleep with anger because the negative emotion is recorded in your spiritual body.

• offset　相殺する
• distressed　苦しんだ
• grudge　恨み
• etch　刻み込む

If you’re told not to have negative emotions, you’ll end up suppressing them, which can cause your mental or physical problems later or trigger some impulsive behavior. In case you have anger, anxiety or sexual thoughts, you should keep at least the mind of observing yourself objectively, thinking “Oh, my!”

• end up ~ing　結局は〜することになる
• suppress　抑圧する
• cause　引き起こす
• trigger　引金になる
• impulsive　衝動的な
• tempt　魅惑する

Shinran（親鸞）, a famous founder of a Buddhist sect, observed and appoved his foolishness, accepting it honestly. He thought that no other man in the world was more foolish, lustful and stupid than himself. And he concluded that he had no choice but live with the belief in Buddha, and seeked for the teachings of Buddha. As a result, he finally reached the absolutely peaceful state of mind, meaning “Leave everything to Buddha after you’ve done all that you can.”

• lustful　好色な
• conclude　結論づける
• belief　信仰
• absolutely　絶対的に

If I take a look spiritually at great men who made great achievements in the past, I find that many of them were such people as got angry, cried and loved someone passionately. Though they had more negative emotions than anyone else, they could have more positive emotions than the negative ones and sublimate the latter into actual good deeds. In a way, they were big men with both many good and bad aspects.

• achievement　業績
• passionately　大いに
• sublimate　昇華する
• deed　行い
• aspect　側面

Good deeds you do in this World of Reality offset your bad thoughts and have a lot of rewards. When you are almost overwhelmed by bad emotions, you should observe yourself and do a good deed even if it is hypocrisy. If you keep on practicing hypocrisy, it will turn into true virtue. Everything you do in this World of Reality is recorded in space as magnetism, which, in turn, is projected onto your magnetism like a wave. This is how your actions make your future and the reason why the future is indefinite and changeable.

• overwhelm　圧倒する
• hypocricy　偽善
• virtue　善
• indefinite　不確定な

Consoling your ancestral spirits or other ones related to you for any length of time every day is one of the greatest achievements you can make. It’s important what you choose and practice in your limited free time. No matter how many sinful acts you committed in the past, you can be OK.  As long as you live, it is what you do from now on that matters.

• console　慰める
• sinful　罪深い

Miserable Life Turns into Blessing When You Die Cocooned in Love

Mother Teresa took care of a lot of dying people on the street and were present at their final moments. When they were carried to Mother Teresa, they were almost dead. It is said that when she took care of them, she did it with a certain thought.

• take care of A　Aの世話をする
• present　その場にいる
• certain　ある

Her thought and wish resonate in my heart like “They haven’t been loved by anyone since they were born, treated like trash and their lives are coming to an end. At least at their final moments, I want them to be loved a lot and leave this world with the thought that they are human beings, not trash.” It seems to have made her happy for those in a desperate situation to become selfish. “Be more selfish, please,” she must’ve thought.

• resonate　鳴り響く
• trash　ゴミ
• at least　せめて
• desperate　絶望的な

What she did was spiritually good, too. What you think at the last moment of your life is important. At the last moment, neither prosperity nor predicaments in your life matters at all. If you can die in the bosom of others, your miserable life turns into blessing like homer that turns the tables. Also, even if you’re alone when your end is approaching, it would be best if you could satisfy yourself by thinking from the bottom of your heart “I’ve lived well. That’s enough.”

• prosperity　栄華
• predicament　苦境
• matter　重要である
• bosom　愛情
• blessing　祝福
• satisfy　満足させる

This, however, is difficult to do, for the way you lived your life  is projected onto your state of mind at the last moment of your life. You can’t lie to yourself. If you feel guilty about something, even if others don’t know about it, you are sure to regret it with penitential tears as you come close to death.

• project　投影する
• lie　嘘をつく
• peniteniel　懺悔の

In case you’ve got some regrettable incidents, you should give off the magnetic energy of apology whenever you remember them and that of gratitude with the thought that you owe what you are to having got through them. And it is important that you should do as many good deeds as you can that make up for the past regrettable things while you’re alive.

• regrettable　後悔すべき
• give off A  Aを放つ
• apology　謝罪
• make up for A　Aの埋め合わせをする

As you undergo such a process, you come to feel the satisfaction that you did what you could do and you can have peace of mind. I think those who have experienced too many difficulties tend to have dementia, which may be the grace of God. By having dementia, they can leave the magnetism of the past painful memories.

• process　過程
• peace　平安
• dementia　痴呆症
• grace　恩寵
• memory　思い出

The eyes of the dying people who held  Mother Teresa’s hand looking into her eyes silently were full of gratitude to her. They left this world emitting the magnetic energy of gratitude. They must’ve been attracted to another world full of gratitude.

• look into A　Aを見つめる
• silently　無言で
