A Truly Courageous Way of Living

★A Wise Person Keeps Away from Danger

There’s a saying, “A wise person keeps away from danger,” right?

But in today’s society, even if you take it only literally and try to do just that, you might still run into dangerous situations.

In today’s world, in any country, you can unexpectedly have someone pick a fight with you and run into a situation like a bolt from the blue, can’t you?

The truth is, when such things happen, it’s not only those people acting from their own surface consciousness; it’s also a picture of them being strongly influenced by the waves of thought from the astral world.

So when people grounded in divinity run into such a scene, what do you think is the action you should take?

In a word, don’t step into the other person’s ring.

To put it another way, don’t go out of your way to descend to the astral world, the realm where the other person lives, and deal with them in the world they’re used to.

To give a concrete example, when you’re driving on the highway, someone sometimes tailgates you, and when you speed up to pull away, they catch up and tailgate you again, right?

At such times, get off at the next exit to a regular road and head straight to the nearest police station, or stop on the shoulder, and even if they come storming over, don’t look at their face; ignore them, quickly call the police or something, and keep a cool face.

Because at such times, the more fear you show, the more their ill will catches fire.

Such things have happened since long ago, but in the past, many people regained their reason at some point, came to their senses with a start, and stopped the harassment.

So such behavior didn’t go as far as becoming an incident, and it didn’t make the daily news, right?

★What a Truly Courageous Way of Living Is

But it’s different now.

In today’s world, the brakes of self-control no longer work in the hearts of people who do such things, and they try to carry out the thoughts dominating their minds all the way to the end.

Looked at from a spiritual viewpoint, such people are in a state where their hearts and bodies have been taken over by beings of the other world who still cling to this world.

That’s why they calmly commit bold wrongdoings they could never imagine when they’re calm.

After all, that happens because the person’s everyday thoughts lean toward a state in which all kinds of complaints and dissatisfaction have built up, and since that matches the waves of thought of astral-world beings, they become possessed without realizing it. You could say it’s a phenomenon that easily occurs when a person doesn’t practice caring thoughts, words, and deeds in daily life.

It is truly heartbreaking when precious lives are lost in such incidents. Along with praying for the peace of those who have passed away, please also pray that those who were driven to cause harm may return to the essence of life as soon as possible and remember their divinity.

And since you can’t know, while you’re in a physical body, whether you’ll run into such incidents, keep “A wise person keeps away from danger” in mind. But don’t base that thought on fear; base it on the firm resolve that “nothing can violate me except my own thoughts.” If you guide your thoughts to be unshakable divine consciousness itself, you’ll be guided so as not to come into contact with such people. And even if you do find yourself in such a situation, you won’t give in to fear; with a resolute attitude, you won’t be dragged down into their ring, and you can deal with them from the standpoint of divinity. The other person will be taken aback by that, or the conversation won’t mesh, and they can’t satisfy their thoughts. Before long, the reason of the person whose consciousness had been taken over will return, and things may well end without harm.

What matters isn’t what the other person did or didn’t do, but what you are thinking and doing at that moment.

As long as you stay in the field of view of thoughts that blame others, your consciousness easily falls into the astral world.

So, so that doesn’t happen, keep polishing and polishing your heart day by day, and guide it to a fine state of mind that doesn’t wobble from any angle.

A truly courageous way of living means the state of an unshakable heart that lies beyond such everyday practice.

To become that, treat yourself as God itself in everyday life.

Because how you perceive yourself depends first and foremost on your own way of seeing, feeling, thinking, and perceiving.
