Day by Day, Thing by Thing (2)

★Graduating from Self-Sacrifice
A state of consciousness that finds extraordinary joy in self-sacrifice may seem very admirable at first glance, but is such a person living with consciousness that has risen in dimension? Not at all.
The consciousness of the people who will lead a world in which Earth has truly become fine is, without a single exception, a consciousness that brings to life themselves, others, nature, and living things alike.
No matter how much you think it’s for the world and for others, crushing yourself isn’t the real thing.
In the age ahead, even people living self-sacrificing lives will gently come to realize how important it is to take care of themselves.
★Once You Pass Through the World of Mirrors
What do you think happens when a person who used to ignore their own faults and only criticize others begins to awaken to the sacredness of life?
They enter the stage of overcoming the ego, until they arrive at the truth about themselves that we’ve talked about so much, and realize in the world of mirrors that everything was their own projection.
But seen in the long run, that too is only temporary, and before long they will realize that they themselves are the creators of their own destiny, and go as far as forgiving and loving both themselves and others.
While still in the physical body.
★The Essence of Oneness
It’s deep in your own heart that the essence of oneness sparkles.
So before getting along with others, you have to get along with yourself.
★The Self That Watches and the Self That Is Watched
When the self that watches and the self that is watched become one, that’s quite something.
Because that is consciousness that graduated long, long ago from the state of consciousness clinging to physical ideas.
★Human Beings Watch Themselves from Within
The consciousness that created the universe, though in an extremely complex way, has a self that watches and a self that is watched.
Sharp as you are, you’ve probably already figured it out.
That the surface consciousness of human beings is the self that is watched.
★Telling Divinity and Karma Apart
If people could see human consciousness divided into divinity and karma that is fading away, living would become much easier for everyone.
Because we want that for you, we always say, “The self you think of as yourself is not your true self.”
When you understand the true meaning of this, your state of mind will deepen one or two levels, and you’ll become someone who doesn’t feel the difficulties of life as suffering.
★To Broaden Your Consciousness
Look at your heart honestly and objectively, and can clearly tell where the ego self begins and ends, and where the self of the essence of life begins and ends.
For that, as we always say, it’s good to keep your breathing slow and relaxed at all times and live with an easy, unhurried heart.
One more point here is the kotodama of the sound “yu.”
As in the Japanese words yuttari (relaxed), yūyū (unhurried), yukkuri (slowly), yūdai (grand), and yume (dream), the sound “yu” has the power to signify expansiveness, including the depth of the dimensions.
People who use words with a firm grasp of such points can become masters at guiding themselves, and it’s exactly such people who can be called leaders of humanity in the true sense.
