The Outside Is the Inside, and the Inside Is the Outside (7/8)

(Continued from last time)

★To live as the whole while being an individual

As we always say, destiny can always be overwritten and saved anew in this very moment.

Whatever seeds of destiny you sowed in the past, however unhappy the destiny harvested (appearing) in the autumn of fruition (now) may be, depending on how you use your conscious energy in this very moment, you can notice that courage and the will to improve, enough to be grateful and overcome misfortune without seeing it as misfortune, are welling up from the source of life, and you can live by using that power. And beyond that, you can even rewrite your future destiny into what you wish.

The infinite power to create destiny is right inside you.

Now is exactly the time for you to realize that.

Until the time when everyone lives in the world of the divine realm, the discord and insincerity you feel outside are not accurate facts.

You could say they’re only your own inner way of feeling, only what’s inside being reflected and appearing outside.

And as your consciousness evolves, it becomes the other way around: the harmony and love you feel outside are the reflection of those within you, and precisely because your inside is in harmony, you find wonderful things in the outer world, are moved, rejoice, laugh, and feel supreme joy in sharing them with people.

Pointing to this, Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, said, “Physical humans are all caught in inverted delusion (standing on their heads and seeing the world upside down),” didn’t he?

That means that what creates reality is, first and last, humanity’s consciousness. What’s inside (consciousness) appears outside, so what’s outside is nothing but a reflection of inner creation.

To speak of the fundamental: you are completely connected even with the center of the great universe, the source of life.

Human beings, by their original nature, don’t need to travel through space in physical bodies all the way to the center of the great universe. Their own life is directly connected with the center of the universe (the original power that creates and develops the universe), so wherever the heaven and earth they’ve been placed in may be, they can use that life force to make divine love shine in the place and relationships where they are now, and live in a way that serves the great harmony of the whole. Living that way is exactly what it means to use life rightly.

Then, without scheming to attract what you wish for, everything will be carried along as you wish, and you’ll be transformed into someone who naturally lives in a way that gives life to self and others at the same time. So it’s good to let go cleanly of your small pride and wishes at this point and release yourself into the great purpose of the great harmony of the whole.

Then a person, while being an individual aware of themselves, becomes at the same time a being who is the whole itself, and comes to realize that they are the universe itself. (To be continued)
