How to Grasp Truth (Part 1)

★Needless worry and the pains of giving birth

Today, while making our regular observations of your state of consciousness, our eyes stopped on a state that hasn’t been brought into focus until now, so let’s talk about it.

We’ve kept saying that “spending your time expanding your consciousness to the whole without self-interest (if you have time to think about yourself, spend it praying for the awakening of humanity’s divinity and the tranquility of the Earth)” is the state of heart of evolved consciousness, and also a necessary condition so that you can interact with the humanity of other evolved stars. But it seems that people who interpreted and understood only that part, only on the surface, have fallen into a mistaken state of mind.

That is, “they’ve fallen into the pit of needless worry and can’t get out.” Such people try to carry out the part about “living with expanded consciousness” by skipping over the truth of the previous stage, without meeting the requirements that come before it. So many merely surface-level problems—worrying domestic and world affairs, pollution of the air, water, and land, destruction of ecosystems, the tilt of the Earth’s axis, the destruction of the ozone layer, and so on—are always crossing their minds, and their heads are filled with worries they don’t need to have.

Let us say it again: the present state of the Earth, whether individual problems or problems of the whole, is entirely a state of “pushing out the pus” in the time until the people of Earth evolve their consciousness.

Seen from another angle, you could say it’s a period of “giving birth” to a new civilization.

When a baby is born, everyone is born after being nurtured to a certain extent in their mother’s womb for about ten months, right?

It’s the same.

Before a baby is born, there’s morning sickness, though it differs from person to person.

And when the baby is finally about to be born, the mother experiences labor pains.

What’s called “the pains of giving birth.”

What the Earth world is experiencing now is “the pains of giving birth” to a new age.

Once it gets through that state, anyone can draw a future of great harmony by making full use of the freedom of life.

That’s why we say, “It’s meaningless to swing between joy and sorrow over surface changes.”

★How to take “the pains of giving birth to a new age” and open up the future

What becomes important here is how you take “the pains of giving birth to a new age” and open up the future.

The answer is to know truth correctly and live while expressing it in your own mind and body.

It’s easy to say in words, but precisely because it’s hard to do it following the right steps, people sometimes end up marking time in a mistaken state.

Why does that happen? If we define the overall average dimension of your consciousness as the third dimension, you can understand the whole picture of first- or second-dimensional talk very easily. But when it becomes fourth- or fifth-dimensional talk, your understanding becomes completely vague: you can only grasp it in fragments, or can only interpret the surface of the words, or take it in a completely different sense through your own filter (tinted glasses).
