"unto the mount of Olives" - Rely on Nothing and Nobody but God




A Summer Festival around Tokyo


Rely on Nothing and Nobody but God


Men are born, raised, grow up, get aware of the environment and the world, find their desire, chase their desire, earn money, spend money, realize what the society is, get older, get sick and die leaving little or much money.

No one can truly help others.  No one can be ultimately saved by others.  Only God can help each individual.

However, there are two remarkable conditions for men:
First, there are various teachings, religious and philosophical, about how men should live.
Secondly, there are historical characters who left their names in history for whatever reasons, but what do they mean for ordinary people who never surface in the history?

The most important truth is that each man is linked to God on a one-to-one basis.  No others can basically interfere with this relationship.  However, this truth is not self-evident.  Education is needed in this context.  So, God uses some people through whom truth or His teaching gets prevailed among the mankind.  But, Satan also uses some people to indoctrinate people with evil thoughts.

God also uses some people in events through history to give lessons to the mankind.  Those people are not especially blessed and not promised to be admitted into Heaven.  But for various conditions, they were chosen and given specific roles.

So, though men are born, raised, grow up, get aware of the environment and the world, find their desire, chase their desire, earn money, spend money, realize what the society is, get older, get sick and die leaving little or much money, the outwardly hidden relationship with God is the true issue or challenge for them.

Pu simply, when men were born, God gave human souls to them.  When men die, their souls return to the Hand of God to be carried into Heaven or cast into the hell.

Therefore, the truth of existence of each man lies in this relationship with God.  The meaning of existence of each man lies in this relationship with God.  Life of each man is empty or meaningless without taking into consideration this relationship.

So, if a man thinks seriously about life without faith in God or recognition of the spiritual sphere, he will eventually go insane.   But nowadays, people have come to wisely stop thinking about life and God so as not to go insane.  They outwardly keep sanity with help from Satan.  For this purpose, Satan uses power of money.  People's outwardly sanity conditions, however, will be lost when they die and the power of money is lost.  Accordingly, souls of such men will go insane after their death; they cannot be admitted into Heaven.  Conversely, the hell is full of mad men.

The Buddha said not to rely on anyone and anything but yourself and the law of truth.  However, Christ Jesus said that you may rely on God.  And, the Koran says that you must be relying on God.
