"when he had gone a little farther thence" - New Civilization based on Spiritual Power Needed

New Civilization based on Spiritual Power Needed 

There are about 180,000 religious organizations with corporate status in Japan. Most of them are based on Shintoism, Buddhism, or Christianity.  Among them is the shintoism sect of the Imperial Family which was forced on the Japanese people in WWII.  Indeed, Shintoism is rooted in spiritual tradition of the Japanese people that had prevailed in Japan before Buddhism reaching Japan around the 6th century or before the Christian era in the world.  

It is said that a founder of a religious sect has the ability to cause a miracle and is possessed by the supernatural.  The founders of new religious bodies have legends that they healed the sick, predicted future incidents, or delivered words given by deities or major spiritual figures.  They sometimes could communicate with spirits of dead men.  Some of them could even bend spoons.

Some of the Japanese religious bodies and their founders admit that they can use energy filled in the universe.  Indeed, unknown dark energy in the whole universe accounts for 68.3 percent and unknown dark matters account for 26.8 percent, while ordinary matters known to us, such as atoms and molecules, account for only 4.9 percent of physical matters in the whole universe.       

From the beginning, how this whole universe or the material world was created is still unknown.  Some scientists say that there had been imaginary time before the creation of the universe or this universe was created from fluctuation of vacuum energy.

I think that this whole universe or the material world was created by the God through His thinking or imagination power with energy in the spirit world.  The spirit world must have been created prior to the creation of this universe or material world.  And the dark energy and the dark matters in the universe should be their remnants.  

Even in the ultimately small scope of the materials or the atoms or in the elementary particle world, there are various strange phenomenon that cannot be scientifically fully explained.  Quantum physics cannot explain them fully.  It is thought that spiritual energy still works at such a fundamental level.  Every elemental particle such as electrons and photons should be accompanied by spiritual energy, since originally materials were formed through work of the spiritual energy.  Therefore in double-slit experiments where an elemental particle works and moves as a physical particle or a wave the effect of the spiritual energy is exposed.  The spiritual energy that allows existence of an elemental particle works as a wave, which works as fundamental power basis of an elemental particle.  Therefore when the spiritual energy wave shows interference, elemental particles should follow the effect.

The human world consists of materials and human mind work.  The human mind can be considered to be influenced by the spiritual energy which allows generation of the human mind through work of brain cells.  Furthermore, materials in the human world are influenced by the spiritual energy as stated above.  Therefore, miracles beyond the scope of science can happen if a man can manipulate the spiritual energy through his mind work.  So, it can be understood that founders of religious bodies or sects who claim that they have the spiritual ability or can use great spirits in the spirit world can cause miracles.

Even the faith healer Harry Edwards (1893 – 1976) wrote that he was supported by spiritual doctors living in the spirit world during his curing people.  Some Japanese faith healers or psychics also claim that great deities of Buddhism or Shintoism help them cure the sick.  As there is still spiritual energy remaining in this universe through which we can communicate with spirits in the spirit world their words can be understood.  
       
Yet, it is the God who created men:
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1)

And, as the God created men in His own image, He should give to men His power to manipulate the spiritual energy, since He has the power to use it in creating the material world.   

What's more, the Lord Jesus Christ could manipulate the spiritual energy like the God, and He promised to give the power to believers.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Even pious followers of Buddhism or Shintoism are given such ability to use the spiritual power.  Believers in the God of Christ Jesus should be given such spiritual power.  Or, from the beginning, men should have been given the ability to use the psychic power like Harry Edwards or Uri Geller.

So, by faithfully believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, we must have the ability to use the spiritual energy like faith healers.  

Indeed, the God had used His power of thinking or imagination to manipulate the spiritual energy in creating the universe.  The Lord Jesus Christ used the same power in His mission.  Therefore, pious men should be able to use the same power through prayer.  Our civilization should be rebuilt again on this principle.

However, Satan can also manipulate the spiritual energy as the Vatican is afraid, we should be determined to fight against Satan even spiritually like the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark 1, King James Version
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

"shall he turn to the Lord their God" - A Japanese Physician with Psychic Power

A Japanese Physician with Psychic Power

There are reportedly hundreds of professional faith healers in Japan. When putting the keyword of "psychic healing" in Google research in Japanese, about 4 million sites are returned.  Indeed, spiritualism has prevailed in Japan.

One of them was Toshiko Yamazaki who was born in 1922 and died about two decades ago.  She became a medical doctor as she had heard a spiritual voice of a deity of Japanese Buddhism encouraging her to become a medical doctor when she had been an elementary school girl.  So, she became a physician with psychic power.  She practiced modern medical services while sometimes performing psychic healing or faith healing.  She studied and respected Harry Edwards of England (1893 – 1976), a notable faith healer.

It was when she became about 30 years old that she was clearly aware of her psychic power.  When diagnosing a patient, she felt a pain in a part of her own body that corresponded to the affected area of the patient.  She found that illness was caused by evil spirits as well as by casual agents.  She applied modern medicines to ordinary illness but her psychic power or faith healing to illness caused by evil spirits.

She also scientifically studied medical effects of far infrared rays and germanium stones.  But she also enhanced her psychic power to launch a religious body based on Japanese esoteric Buddhism.  In her faith healing, she said that she was guided by a high-level spirit while receiving advices from the spirit.  She moved her hands on an affected area of a patient as if she had been cutting and taking it out of the body of the patient, following guidance of the spirit.      

As her reputation was televised in 1960s and 1970s, many patients visited her clinic in Nara Prefecture.  She also performed distant psychic healing with possessions of a patient at her hand while the patient was far away from her clinic.

But, her own son, in his 40s, suddenly became a nephritic patient in 1990s and started to receive a dialysis treatment in other hospitals.  Unfortunately, due to poor handling by medical staffs there he almost accidentally died.  She wrote a book to point out mistakes of a primary doctor, nurses, etc.  Her book contributed improvement of dialytic therapy in Japan.   

Dialysis patients cannot live long, 10 to 20 years shorter than healthy people, while they have to receive a dialysis treatment a few times per week all through their lives.  Therefore her son planned to have an organ transplant in China.  Yet, before he flew to China, he fell to death due to sudden deterioration of his kidney conditions in a hospital nearby.

It is a tragedy that her psychic healing power could not work on her son while she had cured many patients.  But from another point of view, it might be God's will to stop her son from receiving kidney transplant in China.  In these decades, there have been various reports on unethical or criminal ways that China has promoted organ transplants.  They have reportedly collected human organs from criminals on death raw.  They took big money from foreign transplant patients visiting China for transplant surgeries.  It is said that those Chinese criminals on death raw to have their organs taken include followers of the Falun Gong, Uighurs, other dissident activists.  So, the God might stop her son to go to China for kidney transplant. 

Anyway modern medications and faith healing should advance more so as to heal dialysis patients.

Luke 1, King James Version
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
