How to Break Out of Your Shell When You’re Stuck Inside the Shell You Built and Can’t Move Either Way (Part 1)

★First, you yourself acknowledge how wonderful and precious you are

This goes for everyone: you shouldn’t shut yourself up in your shell and stay with ideals drawn in one or two dimensions.

In other words, you need to be ready to live the third dimension to the full.

Human beings are made in such a way that unless they learn, in the mixed world of the third dimension—where gems and pebbles lie side by side—how to rub against one another, clash with one another, and still harmonize, cooperate, and ultimately bring things to realization, they can’t create higher-dimensional worlds such as the fourth dimension, the fifth dimension, and beyond, or evolve their consciousness into them.

And people who find it hard to relate to others and can’t sincerely acknowledge how wonderful and precious humanity as a whole is, before that, can’t acknowledge how wonderful and precious they themselves are.

In truth, before evaluating others one way or another, what matters most is to reflect on yourself first.

Also, before such people can enjoy the fulfillment of being alive, they need to remember the real feeling that they are being kept alive.

If they can do that, they’ll reach the state people describe as “just being alive is pure profit,” and they can’t help feeling grateful for being kept alive.

★Feel how blessed it is that you can start over again and again with a physical body in this world

When you can’t acknowledge your own worth, perhaps you haven’t yet remembered the most basic thing of all: gratitude for life.

Being kept alive means you can continue in a physical body precisely because you are a needed presence in this world.

We think we’ve mentioned this before, but even the time when a person departs this world is being looked after by their Guardian Deity, who watches over the soul’s journey and discerns the best time for that person.

That’s exactly why it’s good to reflect deeply on how blessed you are that you can stay in your physical body like this now.

In the other world, there are many people who want to be born but can’t, and are waiting for the gods of heaven to give them permission to be reborn into a physical body.

Why does everyone want to be reborn into a physical body? Because being born into a body makes it far easier to purify karma than staying in the other world without evolving in consciousness.

In the physical world, time flows slowly, so unlike in the other world, what you think doesn’t become real right away. That makes it easy to start over in the gap between when you think something and when it becomes real.

For example, even if you think, “You jerk!” about someone, in this world you don’t immediately lash out, do you?

But in the other world, the instant you think something, it takes shape right away.

This world hasn’t gone that far yet, but even so, with the spiritualization of the Earth, it’s gradually getting faster.

Still, polishing your soul in this world is far easier than going to the other world.

Even people who tend to shut themselves up in their shells because they’re afraid of relating to others will surely feel, deep in their hearts, how blessed it is that they can start over again and again in this world, once they think about the other world.

At such times, before thinking this or that about other people, it’s good to gently notice that you haven’t yet acknowledged your own worth. (To be continued next time)
