Let’s Live with Pride in the Essence of Your Own Life

★Let’s upgrade your consciousness

You shouldn’t hold on to your poor social standing and the far-from-comfortable life that comes with it, and blame it on the times.

We understand the feeling of wanting to lament it.

But as long as you envy ministers and lords, government officials, and the wealthy few called “winners,” and think, “They’re monopolizing wealth and power, so we’re getting the short end of the stick,” then even if your positions were reversed, you wouldn’t easily gain richness of heart.

That’s because your own consciousness creates your reality—and that is exactly why you can change it yourself.

Until you notice that, you tend to want to blame the times or others, look down on yourself too, and lose sight of the chance to upgrade your consciousness.

How you are now has nothing at all to do with how the times or other people are.

Looking back over history, people who could be happy were happy even in the most terrible times of war, and even in ancient times without the conveniences of civilization, there were many people who lived happily.

Do you understand what that means?

It means that no external factor whatsoever can be the thing that sorts out your happiness or unhappiness.

What matters is how you have recognized yourself, and how you do now.

Look at that honestly.

That was exactly the root of the habit of thinking that belittled yourself, looked down on you, and on top of that thought ill of others too.

★Everything is a process moving in a better direction

You understand that a person who sees themselves as nothing much can’t become much of a person, don’t you?

So ask yourself the question: why do I end up thinking ill of others too?

Then the answer will come back.

Because I was reflecting my self-recognition onto others and seeing them as a projection of myself.

People whose self-recognition is clear and good can’t think ill of others, nor do they discriminate by seeing people as above or below.

On the other hand, people with low self-recognition see both themselves and others badly; they ended up using their consciousness in such a way that they envy people who look happier than they are and feel satisfaction when they see people who look unhappier.

If you watch the movements of your own heart and find such a tendency, immediately explore the essence of life.

We’ve told you about it over and over in our talks so far, so if you open our past articles, you’ll understand everything you need about the truth of life and the essence of human beings.

What matters is knowing who you really are.

No—not just knowing.

Grow that sacred recognition until it becomes your natural recognition.

As long as you can do that, it becomes a turning point from which you see the essence of humanity as divinity too, and you begin to see how everyone is meant to be.

Then you can use the time you used to spend lamenting your misfortune on more meaningful thinking and action for building the future; your level of consciousness rises, your living environment falls into place, and you naturally move into happy circumstances.

Listen.

The Earth is now approaching one great climax.

Whatever happens, don’t panic, don’t make a fuss, don’t be flustered—stand firm and steady, and live with an unshakable heart.

Thinking with great conviction, “Everything is a process that surely moves in a better direction.”

You can do it.

You are someone who can do it.

Because you are originally a precious soul who, under a careful plan, chose to be born in this age and this place in order to achieve the great purpose shared by all humanity—completing the Earth world.
