The Components of Life — A Talk from a Non-Scientific Viewpoint (Part 1)

★The components of life

What do you think life is made of?

Mm-hm, mm-hm.

Ha ha ha…

You don’t need such difficult words.

You don’t have to think with your head so much.

Hm?

That’s right—love.

Life is filled with love of infinite mass, and it’s no exaggeration to say “life = love,” “life is made of love.”

Outside your bodies and inside them, love is filled to the brim without a break.

Religions call it God or Buddha, but the power that gives birth to everything, lets it grow through renewal, and eventually returns it to love itself is unmistakably within you, and through you it governs the evolution and creation of the universe.

Seen the other way around, from your standpoint, you could say that the way people are originally meant to live is to go forward with the idea that “the evolution and creation of the universe lies in the process by which we, born from love, remember the workings of love and return (go back) to love.”

If only all the people living on Earth understood that fact with open, unbiased hearts, the world would reflect the face of the divine world in great harmony in an instant.

★In a world where an upside-down way of living has become common sense

But the reason it’s hard for things to become like that is that each person hasn’t wrestled, staking their physical life on it, with the question of truth: “What is life?”

Because they have kept drifting through the three-dimensional world, swept along by movements of thought that protect the self—the ego—they believe is who they are.

When we look at such people, we can see that they all share the same thought.

“It’s natural for us to be drifting. Precisely because we’re human, it’s natural to worry and suffer and be tossed around by joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure.”

That’s what we call “a mistaken way of living,” “perverted thinking,” “sticky thoughts turned upside down and deluded.”

In short, it’s like looking at the universe while standing on your head.

That’s exactly why we tell you, “In situations where people interact on the surface, don’t deliberately brandish truth—behave in step with those people’s common sense, while at the true core of your heart using your consciousness in a way that recognizes divinity in the essence of everything.”

In certain specific situations, it’s fine to push your own ideas forward without deferring to anything or anyone. But in many other situations, the way of living of someone who has manifested love is to “draw back your ideas of what you think is right, give priority to the harmony of the whole, and move along with their waves (not opposing karma), while in fact embracing them and returning to heaven together.” (To be continued next time)
