The Real Truth: Every Person Is God Itself

We’ll tell you the real truth.

It’s that every human being is, by nature, God itself, and there’s no such thing as a human being who isn’t God.

The reason it has come to look otherwise is that people don’t understand the great plan of life and mistakenly think that only what appears before their eyes is everything. If you understand the great plan of life and can read the deeds of yourself and others with eternal eyes, then the good and bad, right and wrong of appearances are no problem at all. The way a person ought to be is simply to guide yourself and others so that the heart moves in a direction that faces the truth squarely, and to take the lead in opening up that path yourself.

Those who understand this principle should start right now to think, speak, and act as the self that is God.

Ancient Japanese Shinto taught that all things in creation are manifestations of the myriad gods, and that every single human being, without exception, is a descendant of the gods.

Long ago, many peoples of the world knew the essence of humanity as a matter of course.

That all human beings are gods.

That is the very truth of humanity, and yet, as ways of living changed over time, people began to forget the truth rooted in their hearts and leaned toward individualism.

In some ways, perhaps, that felt easier to live with.

But in truth, even that isn’t something to be judged as good or bad. Even such surface appearances are being taken in, individualism included, and those feelings are being sublimated into a philosophy of the harmony of the whole, to be shared once again with the world.

In this way, everything has a meaning that can’t be understood from the surface alone.

It may look as though people’s hearts have been thrown into disorder for a while and a scattered individualism has spread, but even so, you can say that even that is each moment bringing about greater growth.

So, everyone, don’t blame yourself and don’t blame others, don’t dislike yourself and don’t dislike others. Forgive and love both yourself and others, and try looking out over the world with the eyes and heart of God, cherishing and loving it.

Such things are easy to do when your consciousness isn’t stuck to your physical body. If you feel they’re quite hard, peel your consciousness away from your physical body and make deep breathing your normal state, so that it can spread out into the great ocean of life.

Then anyone can sense the world with the heart of God, see the world with the eyes of God, and find divinity in all things.

If you try, there’s nothing you can’t do.

Because several thousand people on the Earth have already reached that state.

If you pay attention to your breathing and your consciousness and live consciously, you can surely do it.

Draw out your divinity yourself and live your life as God.
