Let’s Polish Forth the Heart of the Divine Realm (Part 1)

★To bring divine consciousness and Physical Body Consciousness into one

When people are separated from their true self (their divine consciousness), their everyday breathing unconsciously becomes shallow.

It’s truly remarkable—it’s that way for everyone, without a single exception.

But a temporary shallowness of breath, such as after intense exercise, doesn’t fall into this category, so please don’t confuse the two.

When we speak grandly of “divine consciousness,” some people may think, “That has nothing to do with me.” But even if not all the time, at least now and then during the day, almost everyone expresses thoughts, words, and deeds of the divine realm in their surface consciousness.

When people feel the word “divinity” is out of their reach, it’s because they have completely forgotten their true heart and true being in the home of life, so it feels like “something lofty, far removed from me.” But even so, in the casual moments of everyday life, the sparkle of divinity seeps out of each individual person and forms the dignity of the Earth world.

The ultimate—or highest—form of that dignity is called divine character.

Hearts such as intelligence, reason, kindness, the wish to protect what is precious, gentleness toward yourself and others, and the wish to cooperate with those around you and be useful to the whole are all hearts of the divine realm—thoughts based on divine character—and many people unconsciously speak and act on the basis of such thoughts.

Divinity is the original nature of human beings and an indispensable core element.

Because there isn’t a single person alive without divinity.

If all the vibrations of divinity were to withdraw and vanish from this world, the world would look just like a hell. Fortunately, such manifestations are limited, only occurring here and there in scattered places around the world.

So if someone near you expressed that kind of hellish way of being, or a reality of shrieking chaos unfolded around you, how would you react to those people or that situation?

Could you see the divinity deep within people?

Could you see through the tragic turn of events to a shining future beyond?

We always say, don’t we, that divinity dwells within everyone and there is nothing that isn’t divine.

Other people’s words and actions that darken your heart if you look only at the surface, and tragic destinies too, are only a part of the surface, nothing more than passing events.

For people who think, speak, and act with their consciousness placed in the divine realm, when it’s a person, they see the harmonious essence; when it’s a destiny, they see a future that can only get better opening up; and they can find the sparkle of divinity behind everything.

And the days full of hope beyond the despairing phenomena are seen at the same time, overlapping, not as mere wishful thinking but as the future that is sure to come.

Let us talk here about one viewpoint missing from the perspective of humanity in general: even people who do nothing but trouble those around them, or who bare their fangs at society like demons, don’t behave that way toward everyone.

It’s quite common for someone who thinks, speaks, and acts inhumanely outside to be a good father or mother once they step inside their home, or to express divine thoughts and deeds only toward certain people.

People tend to have their eyes and ears captured by sensational things on the surface and fail to grasp the parts that aren’t seen. But nothing is less reliable than judging people as “that person is good, that person is bad.”

Because you can only recognize a very thin part of the surface—and only the side of them that responds to your own level of consciousness, at that. (To be continued next time)
