To Live as You Are

“You’re Fine Just as You Are”?

You sometimes see or hear things written or said like, “You don’t have to try to become someone. You’re fine just as you are,” right?

Those words actually have a meaning one level deeper.

I think the people who say them mean well.

But often their words haven’t yet reached the true depth of what they say.

So without the true meaning of “as you are” in “you’re fine as you are” getting across, it happens surprisingly often on Earth that the people who hear it then breathe a sigh of relief, “So I’m fine just the way I am now. What a relief,” and stop walking right there.

What “As You Are” Means in “You’re Fine as You Are”

“You’re fine as you are” is certainly true.

But it doesn’t mean it’s fine to leave your present habits of non-truthful thoughts as they are.

Hard to follow?

Then, to make it easier, let’s look at the words themselves.

In Japanese, “as you are” is “sono mama,” and the sound “so” in it can be written with characters meaning “unadorned,” “origin” or “ancestor,” and “foundation.”

So “sono mama” means “as the unadorned self,” “as the origin,” and “as the foundation,” and its heart is this: “It’s enough to express the consciousness of life just as it is.” That is the true meaning of the words “you’re fine as you are.”

For “unadorned,” “origin,” and “foundation” are all words pointing to nothing other than the true heart and true body of the great source of life itself.

To Live as You Are

With that in mind, I’d like you, who aim for the evolution of consciousness, not to be misled by all sorts of information, but to gaze at the source of your own life and not remain in an individual self separated from the essence of life.

Anyone, as long as they live just as life is, is designed so that no anguish of any kind arises, and they can lead a life filled only with happiness, only with gratitude, only with love. That’s the truth.

So it’s good to stop clinging endlessly to all the judgments that cross your mind, all the thoughts that evaluate yourself and others, and spend each moment of daily life with a smooth, flowing, refreshed heart.

And since being told “Don’t think any non-truthful thoughts at all” is probably hard, what I mean is that even if you do think them, just don’t stay there; all you need is to get the knack of entering into the consciousness of light.

The ways to do that are making the deep breathing I always talk about standard equipment, and living each moment consciously with a prayerful heart.

Days like that don’t bring any dramatic visible change, so you may find your consciousness about to be carried off by thoughts of distrust (the lure of astral thought-waves): “What’s the point of doing this?” But as a way to evolve in consciousness fundamentally and revive divine consciousness from the root, there is no surer or shorter way than this.

So gaze and believe every day only in the light of your own life, throw all your impressions of every phenomenon reflected in your five or six senses into the light of life, take the heart of your Higher Self as your own heart, and keep up the prayer for peace and deep breathing tirelessly every day.

If you just keep doing that, before long a great change that astonishes everyone will happen on Earth.

As a practical matter, through it, the revival of divinity in Earth’s humanity will happen like falling dominoes, and the time will come when it can no longer return to a world that repeats the mistakes of the past.

All the plans for it are fully prepared.

That’s what you and we have been working together for, for decades now.

So please simply keep spending your days repeating, without tiring, the prayer for peace and deep breathing (in Japanese “shin-kokyū,” where “shin” can also mean “divine” and “true”), which will open the way to making that day real.

For within the vibrational sphere of today’s Earth realm, where anxiety and suspicion swirl, you who live that way are the precious power that opens a future of hope.
