"for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits" - A Lesson from a Rich Novelist

The Tokyo Station

A Lesson from a Rich Novelist

A famous Japanese novelist died recently, saying that he did not believe in existence of the afterlife. He thought that there was only nothingness after his life, although he once wrote a modern Japanese version of a Buddhist scripture. He had also become a politician with help from a Japanese sect of Buddhism. But he did not believe that his soul would continue to live after his physical death. He wrote scores of novels and more short stories in his life.

The novelist was a rich man.  He became a famous novelist when he was a student of a university.  He never experienced poor life since his novel won a big prize in his early 20s.  He looked so busy in enjoying amenities of his bountiful life.  While he was ill in bed in his last days, he said that he wanted to go to a resort destination with his family members, which could not be realized.

Christ Jesus said to a rich man who enjoyed his prosperous life and died that he could not be accepted in Heaven as he had enjoyed amenities and riches in the world so much.

Indeed, some rich men cannot see the spirit world while living in this world.  They cannot see the real state of this world.  Their eyes become blind due to too much worldly pleasure.  Indeed, the Buddha said that if you have a home, your mind is bound by your home; if you have a family, your mind is bound by your family.  So, if you have riches, they bind your mind, so that you cannot see Heaven and the hells in your mind.  Therefore, the Buddha lived a poor life like Christ Jesus did.

In this material world, people pursue wealth and success in the society.  But, worldly wealth and success make people blind to the spiritual matters, Heaven, and the hells.  Only poor men who have no hope to acquire big money and happiness in this world would turn their eyes to the afterlife and ask the God to allow them to enter into Heaven, if they knew that there is Heaven.

Therefore, poor men who are promised by the God to be admitted into Heaven would not envy rich men in this world, since Heaven should be full of riches.

But, it is very rare that a poor man has the ability to write novels and short stores about the afterlife, the spirit world, Heaven and the hells like Swedenborg while living in this world.  Yet, there are some religious groups and spiritual persons who claim that they have heard spiritual voices from the deceased novelist.  But, they do not assert that the novelist is now in Heaven or the hells.         

Indeed, Satan would use some religious groups and spiritual persons so as to diffuse an idea that a successful rich man can also enjoy a rich life after death in this world.  If a rich man can enjoy a rich life even after death in the spirit world, nobody wants to accept poverty in this world.  They will not understand a deep meaning of Christ Jesus that the rich and wealthy cannot be accepted in Heaven.

Scores of novels and short stories the novelist wrote in his life should not be any help for him to enter into Heaven.  It is thought that the novelist could not see what poor men in this world could see through their souls.   He should have had to be poor enough to write truth of this world and the afterlife.

Anyway, there cannot be a rich Christ Jesus or a rich Buddha.

Mark 1, King James Version
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

"after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived" - Love Poverty to be Admitted into Heaven

Mt. Fuji covered by Snow from around Tokyo

Love Poverty to be Admitted into Heaven 

The main teaching of Christ Jesus is simple: Be poorer than your neighbor and be poor as much as possible so as to be happy in the afterlife leading to Heaven.

If all the people accepted this teaching, this world would be a place for competition for being poorer and living in poverty as much as possible.  This world would be the world of holy poverty.  And, as one becomes poorer, one can understand more truth and exercise more love to the poor and the God, so that he wants to be all the more poorer.  And, every problem in this world and each one would be solved.  

The highest poverty is the state of having nothing worldly but everything heavenly.  But this state of having nothing can be a source of everything as the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tse said.   

According to Lao Tse, a cup can contain water as it is empty; if a cup is full of something else, water cannot be poured in it.  The cup is the human mind, and water is truth and love coming from Heaven, so that a poor man with nothing in his mind and his body or as his assets can absorb truth and love coming from Heaven.

So, the states of a man in the human world in terms of faith can be summarized as follows:

State 1: One feels nothing when seeing the poor and poverty.

State 2: One despises the poor and hates poverty.

State 3: One dislikes to poor and avoids poverty.

State 4: One has compassion to the poor and tries to help them as much as possible.

State 5: One tries to be poor himself and live in poverty as much as possible.

At the State 1, the man is in moratorium in terms of responsible spontaneous judgment.  All the infants and small children are in this state.

At the State 2, Satan and evil spirits are dominating the man by teaching him worldly wisdom.  They teach him that only fools cannot earn money enough to buy necessary and luxurious goods.  So, he thinks that such fools deserve contempt.

At the State 3, the man has acquired commonsense that someone must be poor in this world, and he tries not to see losers and the defeated in the society while trying not to become poor.  He wants to be a member of rich or ordinary people.  He may feel sense of guilt or he may not at all, according to how much he is brainwashed by Satan and evil spirits.

At the State 4, the man comes to realize that he might also become poor by misfortune or due to devil's play, so that it is better for his security and safety to help the poor as much as possible while securing his own riches and worldly happiness.     

At Stage 5, the man discovers that the God loves the poor so that He sent Christ Jesus to the human world to teach people to love poverty.  But, he also understands through words of Christ Jesus that the poor in this world can be happy in the afterlife.  Therefore he tries to be poor enough to be admitted into Heaven after death.      

In summary, those who do not know the meaning of poverty cannot defeat those who despise poverty; those who who despise poverty cannot defeat those who have compassion to the poor; those who have compassion to the poor cannot defeat those who love the poor to help them; those who love the poor to help them cannot defeat those who have become poor for themselves so as to enter into Heaven.   

Satan and evil spirits completely rule those at State 2 and 3, sometimes penetrating into minds of those at State 4.  But, those at State 1 and State 5 are protected by God's angels.

Any scholars, doctors, experts, religious leaders, elite members of churches, etc. cannot see truth of the human world and the spirit world as much as the poorest man in the world can see.  I think that even the Pope must be missing something that can be only realized by the poorest man in the world.

In other words, the major issue and focus of the Gospels are related to poverty where every evil is concentrated.

Luke 1, King James Version

22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

"God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas" - Our Mind to God's Mind for a Miracle to be Realized

 

Our Mind to God's Mind for a Miracle to be Realized

It is well known that prayer can work mysteriously to cure the sick.  And, some spiritualists and psychics emphasize that thoughts, notions, ideas, and power of such mind works can cause super-natural phenomena or miracles to the eyes of ordinary people.  

The Bible also reads that Christ Jesus performed various miracles, such as curing the diseases and bringing the dead back to life, without using modern medicines or devices.  Even those with super-natural power can bend a spoon without using muscle power but by use of mind-power or psychokinesis.

But why does mind-power or psychokinesis work well on human bodies and other material entities?  It is because the God created this material world by use of His mindpower through His words.  Therefore, modern physics cannot find how this universe was created and how elementary particles such as electrons behave mysteriously beyond human commonsense and laws of classical physics.  Our material world and this universe are based on the spirit world and the spirit energy coming from the God.  But, as the God used His words to specifically create each entity of concrete maters and abstract concepts, the Bible reads that nothing that was not created by the word of the God does not exist (in both the material and spirit worlds).

Put simply, our minds can lead to the realm of the God through the material world and the spirit world.  Indeed, our mind-power can work in the spirit world and thus work on the material world.  We move our bodies following instructions of our minds which are not material entities.  So, there is no wonder that our prayer can influence the conditions of the sick, as it works on diseases through the spiritual world that is above the material world.  This status of flow of the holy energy and men's mind power can be summarized as follows: 

God => Spiritual Energy with Words => Spirit World => Material/Human World 

Men => Prayer/Mind-power => Spirit World => Realm of the God => Power of God => Spirit World => Material/Human World

In other words, our prayer or mind-power can reach the realm of the God; thus it can return to the material/human world from the realm of the God through the spirit world.  And, finally, a miracle is realized in the human world.  

Some powerful psychics told that they could cause super-natural phenomena such as levitation by help from some higher-level spirits.  However, when they wish that their human desire comes true, it cannot be realized in the human world as their wish is rejected while going through this process through the spirit world and the realm of the God.  If Uri Geller always thinks how much he can earn through his performance, even a spoon could not be bent as he wishes.  

We have to be truly, but not ostensibly, humble to invoke power of the spirit world or the spiritual energy, or ultimately the power of the God.

When a man dies, he usually abandons his worldly desire; thus his soul can enter into the spirit world leaving his dead body.  Indeed, a man's soul, which was controlling his physical body, entering into the spirit world after his physical death in this world is a kind of miracles.  

Indeed, since what could control physical entities in this universe must be physical entities or systems according to modern physics, from the beginning it is a mystery that a human mind based on its soul belonging to the spirit world can control the human material body.  The fact that a man consisting of only molecules, atoms and elementary particles which are all material entities has a mind or mind-power is itself a mystery.  So, we must admit that spiritual energy came from the spirit world to the human world in the material world.

But, Christ Jesus said that His soul had come from Heaven but men's souls had come from the lower level of the spirit world that should be close to the hells.  For a man to exercise his super natural power or spiritual power, the status of his mind or soul should be close to Heaven or have nothing to do with the hells that can come into his soul through his human desire.  Therefore, ascetic training is needed for a man to enhance his ability to exercise his power.

A monk in Himalayas who acquired the ability to walk across a rapid river failed in demonstrating his ability to newspaper reporters and other audience, falling into a river.  He further continued his training and tried again before people, but failed again.  A Japanese yoga master Naruse who succeeded in performing levitation wrote that he believed that the monk had really acquired the ability to walk on water but his desire to publicly show his ability made him fail.

So, when you pray for a sick person, you must abandon your desire and profits.  You must only wish happiness of the sick.  Then, your prayer will go up to the realm of the God through the spirit world, and the God should respond to your prayer with His mind power that can work on materials beyond laws of classical physics.  Even an angel of the God should respond to a wish of a little child who wants to bend a spoon without human desire.             

The relationship between material entities and human minds, such as how a man can move his body by only thinking that he wants to do it, is still a big mystery for modern science.  But, anybody can do it without knowing modern physics; you can move your fingers as you wish without minding how your mind works on your fingers; you only have to think of it.

If you want to realize something with faith in God, it should be realized only if it is not against the mind of the God.

Genesis 1, King James Version
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

"Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples" - From our Minds to the God through the Spirit World by Use of Prayer

 

From our Minds to the God through the Spirit World by Use of Prayer

Christ Jesus said that whatever we want to come true would come true if we believe that it has been realized with our faith in God:

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11)

This word shows importance of our prayer with faith in God.  Our prayer in faith should work in unconsciousness.  Our unconsciousness should be linked to the spirit world.  So, our minds can reach the God through the spirit world by way of our unconsciousness.  But, without faith in God, this path should not work smoothly.  And, if we pray with any human desire or our wish is based on any human desire, our prayer or wish should be rejected by the God.

If we wish in prayer that a mountain should move to the sea, it would be realized only if we have no desire in wishing so. 

From the beginning, the God created the physical world where we are living through His meditation and words.  Therefore, it is no wonder that we can be linked to the God through our meditation and by use of holy words; but if we have any human desire, it should become an obstacle for our connection to the God.  However, if a believer prays without doubt and human desire but with faith in God, his prayer should reach the God through this physical world and the spirit world to be realized.

The holy order from the God to human beings should be:

God => His Power of Idea => Spiritual Energy & Holy Words => Spirit World => Physical World => Human World 

The God decided to create the spirit world with Heaven and the hells by use of His power of thinking and His words, and then He created the physical world and human beings in it through His power of thinking and His words.  Therefore, His power works in the spirit world and the physical world.  

Specifically, our physical world was created by the spiritual energy from the spirit world.  The spiritual energy works at the lowest minimum level of the physical world, so that an elementary particle, which is smaller than an atom, is influenced by the spiritual energy, showing some mysterious behaviors.  From the beginning, this physical universe was created by the spiritual energy through the Big Ban.  Science would finally come to face the spiritual energy in quest for the origin of the material universe.  Therefore, our physical and material world is based on the spiritual energy that comes from the spirit world as the God wished.  Physics cannot be completed without taking into account the spirit world and the spiritual energy. 

But, our prayer or thinking can get through the spiritual energy from this material world to the spirit world and finally to the realm of the God, since the God created this spirit world and the physical world through his meditation, power of thinking and idea, and His holy words.  Our prayer and words can reach the realm of the God above the spirit world that is above the material world.   

However, the God would not listen to us praying and wishing anything based on our human desire.  He would only respond to our prayer without human desire.

If we pray to the God, wishing Him to give us money, He would not fulfil our wish.  But, if we pray due to our sympathy and love to the poor, that the God should give money to the poor, He would hear our prayer.  

Work of our minds and our words would reach the God, since this material world is based on the spirt energy and the spirit world.  Even we can work on materials with super-natural power that is another form the spiritual energy.  So, super-natural phenomena can occur in the material world, if we can invoke the spiritual energy in this material world.

However, only faithful people with strong love to the God or special people who have acquired the ability to work on the spiritual energy through their mind work can cause super-natural phenomena.  Therefore, if you wish strongly in your mind without doubt but with full faith in God, a spoon can be bent and a mountain can move to the sea.         

Finally, the most important condition for invoking the spiritual energy is to abandon our desire.  Christ Jesus said that rich men should fall into the hells but only poor men can be accepted in Heaven.  Those who want money would naturally pray to Satan and follow its evil teaching; as they should finally fall into the hells, they have nothing to do with the mercy of the God who provided human beings with the holy path from the human mind through the spirit world to the realm of the God.

Anyway, our minds are keys to causing a miracle to happen, even in bending a spoon with our power of will.

Acts 1, King James Version
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

"Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard" - Invoke the Spirit Energy and the Power of the Holy Words

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Invoke the Spirit Energy and the Power of the Holy Words

It is said that God's words created the world.  Or, God created the world by use of His words.

It must mean that the physical world, including this universe and the human world, and the spirit world, including the Heaven and the hells, were created by the God using His words.  This fact should also mean the words have power.

So, it can be assumed that the God first thought of creating the world, which should mean the spirit world where His angels enjoy their eternal life.  As God thought, the sprit world with only the Heaven was created.  But, as the God is perfect, He thought of something that is opposite to Heaven.  Then the hells were created in the spirit world according to His thinking, since for the God to be perfect, He needed the hells in the spirit world.  

The God first thought only of goodness; then accordingly, goodness was created in the Heaven, but as He is perfect, He had to create something opposite to goodness; then accordingly, evil was created in the hells.

Completeness or perfectness is not only above goodness but also above goodness and also what is opposite to goodness.  Accordingly, the spirit world was divided into the Heaven with full of goodness and the hells with full of evils, which should be reflected in the human world.

But, most importantly, the God fist engaged in meditation so as to think of the spirit world consisting of the Heaven and the hells.  And then His power of meditation created the spirit world with the Heaven and the hells.  To create specific aspects and elements of the spirit world, the God should use His words; and accordingly, every aspect and element of the spirit world with the Heaven and the hells were created following His words.

And, then the God decided to create the physical world and the human world in the physical world.  Through God's meditation on the physical, the physical world, that is this universe, was created.  And, through God's meditation on the human world, the human world was created.   And their aspects and elements were specifically created by the God using His words.  

The tools the God used for this creation of the spirit world, the physical world, and the human world were His meditation power and the word power.  No any other machines.

God's Meditation + His Words directly => Spirit World with Heaven and Hells + their Aspects and Elements

God's Meditation + His Words through Spirit World =>  Physical World + Human World + their Aspects and Elements 

However, there are orders and stratums.  The spirit world is first; the physical world is second; and the human world is third.  The God should use the energy in the spirit world to create the physical world, namely this universe, and use necessary elements in the physical world so as to create the human beings, since the Bible reads that the world was created by the word of the God and the God created the human beings from the soil of the earth and part of them. 

Energy in Spirit World => Physical World => Human Beings

God's Words => Every Aspect and Element of Physical World and Human World

Therefore, physical phenomena are essentially influenced by the spiritual energy.  And, every aspect and element in the human world, including their minds, should be affected by God's meditation and words.

That is why the quantum physics show some mysterious phenomena and present theories that cannot be explained without taking into account influences from the spirit world.  

That is also why there are super-natural phenomena that cannot be explained without taking into account influences of energy from the spirit world.  Even spoon-bending by the will of a mind cannot be explained without taking into account influences from the spirit world.       

What should be noted is that the God used His words to specifically create specific aspects and elements in the spirit world, the physical world, and the human world.  Therefore, by praying to the God by use of special words, some sacred results can be obtained from the God.  Our words in praying to the God can be connected to the God through the holy channel through which the God used His words in the creation of the worlds.

We have to understand that energy of the spirit world is basement of the physical world as the quantum physics implies it.  We have to also realize the power of holy words can also work in the human world as it works in the spirit world.    

That is why we cannot deny any mysterious phenomena in this world and in our minds.  Super-natural phenomena can happen in our physical world.  Spiritual phenomena can happen in our minds.  

That is why Christ Jesus with power of God's meditation and words could perform various miracles.  It is no wonder that the Christ Jesus could execute super-natural power more easily than Uri Geller who can bend a spoon. 

Therefore, poor and weak men should try to invoke the spirit energy and the power of the holy words so as to save themselves, although without faith in the God such an effort should be useless.

"when he went into the temple of the Lord" - No Desires Needed to Exercise Super-Natural Power

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

No Desires Needed to Exercise Super-Natural Power

Is is often said that a person who has experienced a near-death event comes to show some super-natural power.

Once decades ago, a Catholic sister who had a near-death-experience stayed in a hotel in Hokkaido, a northern major island in Japan.  She was sitting in front of the lounge, talking with the owner of the hotel.  Then, a middle aged gentleman talked to them, "I was so depressed and came to this hotel to think over what foreign country I should go to run away from my trouble.  I am a president of a well-known middle-sized manufacturer which has been doing well in business, but one day I suddenly realized that this company of mine and my family would go well without me.  I am useless.  So, I have decided to go somewhere and vanish from the world where I have lived.  But executives of my company and my family members would not be able to find why I have vanished, since I myself cannot know why I have to vanish."

The Catholic sister and the hotel owner listened to the gentleman silently who continued that he realized that every worker of the hotel looked so fine and pleasant.  Then, the hotel owner said that he did not hire anybody who especially looked fine and pleasant; but the nature around the hotel had made them look fine and pleasant.  So, the gentleman has responded that he himself came to relax in this environment and now feels that he has risen again, probably due to the woods and the natures around the hotel. 

This hotel is where the late Leonard Bernstein, a notable American musician, once stayed to be refreshed.  The environment around the hotel must be with full of  scenic beauty.  But, the troubled gentleman should be also healed by an aura of the Catholic sister, which had been obtained through her near-death experience. 

Decades prior to the occasion, the Catholic sister fell from stairs in a big house of a religious community she happened to stay in to lose consciousness and was carried to a hospital by ambulance.  Her life was saved, but while she was losing her sense, her soul was lifted up to the spirit world where she met, as she believed, Christ Jesus who said to her: "Return to the world to live, but remember what is important in life is learning and loving."   

After the incident, she acquired power of healing as she healed the troubled president of a company in the hotel in Hokkaido.  She could heal not only a disease of the mind but also physical diseases.  She could even see when good luck falls on a person.  So, many employees of securities companies came to see her to be informed of when they should sell or buy equities.  But, as she came to feel something wrong, she stopped her free interviews with such guests based on her goodwill.

For example, Uri Geller once earned much money in a casino.  But afterwards, as he strongly felt so discomfort, he threw away the money.  Since then, he tried to earn money through his business as an entertainer or a consultant to businesses.                

Super-natural power given by Christ Jesus or spiritual entities should not be used for individual profits.  But, still it is mysterious that some people who have had near-death experiences come to have super-natural power such as healing or predicting.  

A soul that has entered the spirit world and encountered with great spiritual entities such as Christ Jesus must be given special power, and when the soul has returned to its human body, the power should be with the man or the woman so that he or she could perform miracles by his supernatural power as Christ Jesus did.

In this context, we should believe that from the beginning this physical world was made with spiritual power of the God.  Therefore, a man's soul with spiritual power could influence physical matters.  But, it seems still true that there are  some people, like Uri Geller, who have been given this spiritual power by chance or for unknown reasons without having near-death experiences.

Indeed, some Japanese Buddist monks or shintoism disciplinants are said to acquire this kind of supernatural power through their own hard ascetic training.  Yet, most of them have lived humble lives.  Having no desires must be essential conditions for acquiring super-natural power.

"he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs" - Psychic War over Ukraine

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Psychic War over Ukraine 

The last summer, Uri Geller warned Putin not to use nuclear missiles in the Ukraine war: “So, my open letter to him is basically a warning that if he does that, those missiles will turn around and fly back or his whole computer system will melt down and that’s not going to be good thing for Russia.” (https://www.newstalk.com/news/uri-geller-warns-putin-ill-use-my-mind-to-send-your-nukes-back-to-russia-1371402)

And, as a matter of fact, Russia has not yet used nuclear weapons against its enemies in the war triggered by its invasion into Ukraine.

First of all, we have to confirm what power Uri Gellers has.

A Japanese doctor in engineering named Kazumi Masaki doubted Uri Gellers' supernatural-power when first he saw Geller's spoon-bending performance in a Japanese TV program in early 1970s. But, as many children appeared, instigated by Geller, who claimed that they could also do spoon-bending with their mental power, Masaki tried to check their ability with his own measurement device in a TV studio. To Masaki's surprise, a spoon showed a bending at least in the order of 1/1000 mm after put under the power of the will of a boy who claimed that he had such ability.

Masaki, who made 1,000 and more inventions based on his engineering (and probably super-natural) ability till his death in 2002, then started to study supernatural power and psychic ability, finding many super-natural phenomena happening around him. He also came to hear voices of some divine spirits. Masaki even saw statues of the Goddess of Mercy, etc. appearing from the air on tables, desks, etc. He truly became a believer in psychic power, although he was not a professor of Osaka University but a researcher and the head of its engineering workshop.  Then, he heard a divine sprit saying that super-natural incidents were caused to make Masaki believe spiritual power and existence of the spirit world.   

So, even children instigated by Uri Geller and a doctor of engineering urged to study super-natural power could prove that super-natural power is real. And the Bible reads: Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit (Matthew 12).  We should believe that a man can cause a miracle like water in Lourdes.  Even the miracles Christ Jesus performed could be also made through tricks or explained scientifically. 

So, a psychic or a man with super-natural power can really perform a kind of miracles to the eyes of ordinary people.  A spoon can be bent by conjuring tricks or magic skills, but it can be also bent through psychic power or super-natural ability.  However, it is a mystery how Uri Geller got such ability.  The Vatican might think that Satan gave it to Geller, but Geller has not tried to launch a religious body, which can be regarded as an anti-Christ act. 

So, believe it or not, we may assume that there must be some many people in the world who have super-natural or psychic power like Uri Geller.  In the Japanese spiritual tradition, there are some records about ascetics of shintoism and monks of Buddhism who gained psychic ability or super-natural power through hard ascetic training.  Even the authority of the Japanese imperial house is based on its myth of having psychic power held at least for 1,500 years.

The point at issue is whether Uri Geller can mobilize people with super-natural or psychic power like himself to suppress Russian military.

More importantly, the U.S., China, Russia, etc. might use persons of exceptional character with such ability for their military purposes.  The U.S. might be still using them since the era of Reagan as it continues to study UFOs.  China is said to have already trained children with such ability in these decades.  Russia seems to accumulate results of psychic experiments since the era of the Soviet Union.  And, even the late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have seen Gellers' performance in person. 

WWII was ended with atomic bombs dropped on Japan.  But, WWIII might start with battles in the psychic space with Uri Geller and other psychics or persons with super-natural power.  Indeed, they might have already participated in the collapse of Berlin walls and the Soviet Union, and the death of Princess Diana, JFK Jr., etc. in 1990s as well as the 9/11 Terror, the Lehman shock, the execution of Osama bin Laden, the rapid economic/military development of China, etc. in 2000s.     

However, in such a case, I hope that Christ Jesus would appear to fix and settle the tragic situations triggered by psychic WWIII, since Christ Jesus is the most powerful psychic in these 2,000 years.        

Uri Geller is Jewish, since his mother is Jewish.  So, he may be the second most powerful psychic next to Christ Jesus as Jewish men in these 2,000 years.  In case, Putin and Russian generals should avoid confrontation with Geller, although there may be many psychics in Russian military. 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy had better ask the Vatican and the Pope to send psychic priests to Ukraine for help, too.  Or, I wish the God to give psychic ability to many Ukrainians.

Acts 1, King James Version
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

"things which must shortly come to pass" - Newton, Einstein, and Quantum Physicists to be Followed by Spiritual Physicists

Newton, Einstein, and Quantum Physicists to be Followed by Spiritual Physicists

Isaac Newton wrote before his death in 1727, before death of Swedenborg in 1772, that the end of the world would not start before 2060.  Swedenborg wrote that he had seen Newton in Heaven when the Swedish psychic was allowed by the Lord to see the spirit world while living in the human world.   

Newton studied the Bible earnestly and got a pessimistic conclusion that the end of the world would not start before 2060, which however he did not publicize.  On the other hand, Einstein said in an interview that he could not see what WWIII would be, but he could see how WWWIV would be fought: by stones and staves, meaning that the human civilization would collapse through WWIII.    

What we should pay attention to from Newton's prediction on 2060 is that the Jewish-Roman War occurred in 66 A.D.  And, "In 132 CE, Bar Kokhba led a rebellion against Hadrian, a revolt connected with the renaming of Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina. After four years of devastating warfare, the uprising was suppressed, and Jews were forbidden access to Jerusalem. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora)"

Indeed, after the Diaspora, the Jewish people had no other means to fight but with stones and staves.  Indeed, the 21st century might become another 1st century where the fate of the Jewish people in the 1st century would be shared by all the mankind.  And, this trend might continue in the 22nd century.

Newton formulated the material world, finding the universal kinetic force working among materials.  Einstein formulated the more basic conditions and framework of the material world (time and space).  And successive scientists found strange phenomena working in minuscule particles at the fine level of the material world where Newton's theories and Einstein's paradigms are useless.  Yet, nobody cannot explain how and why this material world was created while using their minds whose work cannot be materially explained.

Put simply, we have to admit that the material world and its components had been created from spiritual energy of the God using His words or ideas.  No matter how much we study the material world, its components, and various phenomena in it, we cannot reach the true state of the material world, since its core, essence, and origin must be spiritual.   

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In this context, there is no wonder, for example, that a metallic spoon can be bent by a psychokinesis.  And, it must be also possible to foresee the future such as death of somebody (including oneself).  It is because a human mind can be connected to the spirit world that is under direct control of the God, the Creator of the universe and all that can exist.  

Put simply, as the Buddha said, everything that has a shape and figure should collapse someday, but a spirit can live forever.

Newton, Einstein, and quantum physicists should be followed by spiritual physicists chosen by the God, like Swedenborg.

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

"But rather seek ye the kingdom of God" - Christianity of Swedenborg's Version

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Christianity of Swedenborg's version

In 1745 Swedenborg saw the Lord Christ Jesus, which should be trusted.

In 1745, aged 57, Swedenborg was dining in a private room at a tavern in London. By the end of the meal, a darkness fell upon his eyes, and the room shifted character. Suddenly, he saw a person sitting at a corner of the room, telling him: "Do not eat too much!". Swedenborg, scared, hurried home. Later that night, the same man appeared in his dreams. The man told Swedenborg that he was the Lord, that he had appointed Swedenborg to reveal the spiritual meaning of the Bible and that he would guide Swedenborg in what to write. The same night, the spiritual world was opened to Swedenborg. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Swedenborg)

When he saw the man in his dream, he said to Swedenborg that He is the God, the Creator of the world, and Christ.  And, immediately afterwards, he was allowed to see the spirit world.  Following this event, Swedenborg started to write many books on his spiritual experiences till his death in 1772.

So, just before the establishment of the United States and the French Revolution, Swedenborg had met Christ Jesus and wrote thousands and more pages on the spirit world, Heaven, and the hells.

If Swedenborg had been insane, it must have been impossible for him to continue to write the issue of the spirit world and spiritual matters in a logical, consistent, and high-integrity manner for about 30 years.  And, from the contents of his books, it is apparent that Satan did not guide him.

However, Swedenborg wrote that St. Paul and King David were in the hells, which must be the reason for Vatican's negligence of Swedenborg's works.  

But, more significantly, it should be noted that Swedenborg wrote that he had seen some rich men in Heaven, which seems to be opposite the words of Christ Jesus.  Christ Jesus clearly said that the rich should fall into the hells but the poor would be accepted in Heaven.

However, it was before the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Independence of the United States.  Some rich men in the era of Swedenborg should be different from the rich in the world in the later periods or today.  And, Swedenborg himself was an elite rich man, since he was close to the Swedish royal family.

Yet, poor men in Europe in the 18th century must not have had the ability to write thousands pages on his experiences of seeing Heaven and the hells, even if they were allowed to see the spirit world while living in this world.  Christ Jesus must have had no choices but choosing Swedenborg as a reporter of the spirit world.  However, some internal human elements or characteristics of Swedenborg should affected his writings.  We may think about the Gospel writes in the same way, although they must have been under God's guidance.

Anyway, after Swedenborg's experiences and writing books on Heaven, the hells, and spiritual matters in the 18th century, modern times fully started with the establishment of the United States, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, etc.  And after the era of Swedenborg, the Holy Mary appeared in Her apparitions to children and youths in France, Portugal, Spain, the Balkan Peninsula, etc. to deliver warnings on the end of time.          

Swedenborg himself wrote that he saw the last judgment being conducted in the spirit world to clean up the situations there as the forces of the hells had notably invaded into the spirit world and mingled with other entities in the spirit world.  And, this state in the spirit world would be realized in the human world after a few centuries.  And, as it was the late 18th century that the last judgment was made in the spirit world, it can be made in the human world at any moment now in the early 21st century.   

It can be summarized as follows:

Swedenborg's observation of the last judgement in the spirit world in the late 18th century=> Start of the modern times (drastic increase in wealth) => Apparitions of the Holy Mary => WWI/WWII, and other wars and tragedies => Repeated warnings by the Holy Mary => Further expansion of human wealth => Realization of the end of time with great tragedies in the human world in the 21st century   

Put simply, from a standpoint of Christianity of Swedenborg's version, the human world is all the more proceeding to the great tragedy at the end of time (since the late 18th century when Christ Jesus appeared to Swedenborg).  However, any individual who is to die during this process can live, as a soul, in the spirit world according to Swedenborg.  So, we should not be afraid of our death to come in future.

Yet, only poor men can be accepted in Heaven, but rich men fall into the hells, according to Christ Jesus.  We have to become poor before we die in this world prior to the end of time, so that we can be accepted in Heaven.  Otherwise, we will be exterminated with Satan in the hells by the God so as to become nothingness. 

 
In the spirit world, those who fall into the hells should meet a more terrible fate of complete death in the spirit world.  After this death in the spirit world, there will be nothing for them.  Even Satan will be killed there by the God, according to Christ Jesus.

The mankind (that is, offspring of people who live now) should be happy if they can survive the 21st century.

Infinite Energy in the Universe Enables Men to Live for 100 Years and More

Nobuo Shioya (1902-2008) is still well known and respected by some Japanese who are interested in human health and spiritual power as well as golf.

He became an age-shooter in golf three times in his 80s and 90s.  He even tried to be one at the age of 100, but fell down with cerebral infarction to be in a bedridden state for about six years in his last years by death at 105. 

He stopped practicing medical profession as physician in Tokyo in 1986, which he started in 1931 at his age of 29 after graduation of Imperial University of Tokyo and inevitable stepping down from its medical office due to his practice of spiritual healing with his hands.  But as an independent physician in Tokyo, he succeeded so much that he was regarded to be the most reputable physician in Tokyo before WWII. 

In the last year of WWII, Shioya in his 40s was called up for military service as a mere soldier as with other doctors as Imperial Japan was so desperate, but his medical skill saved him from hard situations.  After WWII for some time he was engaged in quest for spiritual matters while working as physician, but he stopped his private spiritualism study and holding a seance in 1955 to be devoted in medical profession.  In 1962, he could establish his own method of promoting health and realizing one's wish.  With this method, he he succeeded so much that he was invited to the imperial house to privately cure the empress Nagako (1903-2000), wife of the Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989). 

However, it was in his 90s after retirement from a physician at his age of 84 that he wrote some books about his unique health management method and moved around on speaking engagements about power of the method.  It is because when he became 90 years old, he thought that he should do something to save people, although he had cured a hundred of thousands or more people as a medical doctor. 

His method is based on emphasis on breathing; a man takes 120 liters of oxygen per day of which two fifth are consumed in the brain.  The brain needs more oxygen than any other organs.  The best nutrition for human cells is oxygen.  So, one has to take enough oxygen by deeply breathing.  What's more, he believed that energy in the universe could be taken into the human body through a full breath.  And, when taking infinite energy from the universe through deep breathing, he recommended us to use it not only for promotion of health but also for making our wish come true.  One has to believe and recite in his mind that his disease has been cured or peace has been achieved on the earth in a perfect form, while drawing a deep breath and exhaling slowly.  

Shioya wrote that he had cured prostatism, cataract, etc. by applying this method.  And Shioya could make almost all of his wishes in life come true through this breathing and while wishing, believing, and reciting realization of his wishes.     

The corona-pandemic has taught us the importance of breathing.  Probably, deep breathing should be more effective to suppress onset of corona-virus symptoms.

Shioya had deep insight for spiritual matters.  When he was running a clinic in 1950s, gold powders fell from the air to the floor of the examination room.  A patient collected them to bring them back to home, but the gold powders disappeared as time lapsed.  Maybe energy in the universe turned into gold powders.

Anyway, we should utilize infinite energy in the university not only for prevention of corona-diseases and promotion of our health but also for peace on the earth.

In addition, this method of taking oxygen as much as possible through deep breathing and slowly exhaling while wishing, believing, and reciting that a disease has been cured in a perfect form is so effective that it is worth receiving a Nobel prize.

30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

"Father, save me from this hour" - Spiritual Facts or Material Tricks

 Around Tokyo 

Spiritual Facts or Material Tricks 

Miracles and super-natural phenomena can be taken as they have been simply and mystically caused by some unknown forces or can be explained as they have been artfully or cleverly caused or they have happened by chance as rare cases in the nature or in very small probabilities.   

Miracles caused by Christ Jesus can be explained in both ways.

Every miracle Christ Jesus had caused can be explained as He had exercised His superpower or in other ways. 

For example, Christ Jesus found where a pot with water in and another with good wine in.  He somewhat forced a servant to bring the pot with good wine in to a table instead of the pot with water in.  When a strong tempest moved water to one side of a lake and the depth of water became shallow in the opposite side, Christ Jesus walked the shallow part of the lake.  When thousands of people gathered on a hill to hear Christ Jess, He found that each of them had enough foods but was concealing them under their clothes, so that He had baskets circulated among them.  And, they could easily take out their hidden foods and put them into the baskets, since their love to neighbors were invoked through Jesus' teachings.        

So, you could explain miraculous performances by Uri Geller in both ways, too.  Geller should have true and real super-natural power or he artfully or cleverly exercised his skills as a magician.  The fact that every miraculous performance by Geller can be also made possible through magics or conjuring tricks does not mean that he did it with his skills of magics or tricks. 

Men can fly in the air with an airplane, but it does not mean that men cannot fly in the air with some super-natural power.

What's more, you may think that anything in this world can be bought or realized by money, but you cannot deny that there is something in this world that can be also obtained or realized by power of love or super-natural power.  Put simply, what can be achieved by use of money, material, technology, science, etc. can be also achieved through power of love and prayers or ideas.  

Indeed, Christ Jesus said that even life of men are realized not only by foods but also by words of God:

Matthew 4, King James Version
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Even spoon bending can be achieved by a magic or trick but also by super-natural power or spiritual power given by the God to God's chosen people.

However, I do not think that Uri Geller borne in Israel like Christ Jesus is another Jesus or an antichrist.  But Satan who wants people pursue money should want people to doubt that such performances can be achieved through any means not based on magics, tricks or special artificial skills that can be obtained by money.

Anyway, it must be difficult to explain how the Holly Mary has appeared in her apparitions, if not believing that her apparitions are true spiritual facts.  But, too many people seem to have only insufficient spiritual ability.

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

"he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw" - Build a New and more Spiritual Civilization

 

Build a New and more Spiritual Civilization

This year 2022 must be the start year of the great tragedy of the human material civilization as the Holly Mother warned and other saints or psychics predicted.

The mankind have become corrupt and deteriorated so much that the God would not protect them any more.  

In fact, people love money, which is another form of Satan, revering Satan as if it were a god.  They are attacking enemies of Satan whose another form is money, as if they were fighting against enemies of the God.  They think that they have to attack enemies of money.  But, of curse, the God hates money and requests people to love Him bur hate money.  So, people who respect money are attacking people who hate money but love the God.  This civilization should be totally purified through the coming Great Tragedy.

Priests are saying to love the God, but they never say that loving the God means hating money which is another form of Satan.  But, as people think that money is a god, they love money and Satan as if they love the true God.  In deed, this is a crazy world, so that this human civilization should be totally corrected through the coming Great Tragedy.

In other words, a new and more spiritual civilization should be established, where economy is based on not money but spirit.

From the beginning, when a man dies, his soul will enter into the spirit world where money in the human world is useless.  Rather, as the God loves the poor, people with less or no money can be accepted in Heaven to be given eternal life and happiness but people with any or much money should go to the hells.   

A priest should not simply observe poor people in the world while enjoying his life based on money and privilage, but he should be also one of such poor people like Christ Jesus.  Otherwise, he cannot understand true meaning of the words of the God and Christ Jesus.

Yet, Satan has brainwashed people with money.  It has made people want money and more money than their neighbors and forget teachings of the God.  But, the truth is that they fall into the hells with money they have earned following Satan.  Satan has made people think that there is no life after death or, even if there is life after death,  they can be happy in the after life like they have become materially happy with money in this world. 

         

Everybody dies someday and enters into the spirit world where he will be accepted in Heaven or he will spontaneously go to the hells to be governed by Satan.   And, the deciding factor is how much money he has: the poor are to be accepted in Heaven bur the rich are to fall into the hells.  This is the core of teachings of the God and Christ Jesus.  Most importantly, the God will someday exterminate and delete the hells with Satan, so that those who go to the hells will completely lose their souls in the hells or perfectly killed to become complete nothingness.  Therefore Christ Jesus said: (Matthew 10) 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 

Put simply, the rich will suffer the second death or true death in the hells, but, the poor will enjoy eternal life and happiness in Heaven, after getting into the spirit world after death in the human world.

We have to be more spiritual and build a new and more spiritual civilization.

"a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth" - Hate Money of Satan and Love the Love of the God!

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Hate Money of Satan and Love the Love of the God!

The current Christianity teaches people that those who believe in the Bible, Christ Jesus, the Holly Mary, etc. should be allowed to enter Heaven.  But, it is apparent that this teaching of the current Christianity is not enough to save peoples in the world and achieve true peace among peoples and the world.  

The core of the teaching in Christianity is encouragement for people to become poor and poorer than their neighbors so as to be loved by the God and allowed to enter into Heaven.  Be poor and poorer is the essence of Christianity.

From this point of view, we have to review the Bible and the Gospels.  Christ Jesus was revolutionary in the fact that He declared publicly and openly that the poor would be accepted in Heaven after their death in this world but the rich would go to the hells; and the God loves the poor. 

In this sense, it should be regarded as blasphemy for a man to be richer than Christ Jesus if a man thinks that Christ Jesus is one of his neighbors.  If a man, whether he is a priest or a man in a street or a palace, lives in a richer house, eats more delicious foods, and clothes himself in more beautiful clothes than Christ Jesus had, he should be rejected in Heaven after his death in this world.

People today look like a young man who asked Christ Jesus about guidance in life but could not accept what Christ Jesus told him:  

        (Matthew 19, King James Version)

18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

The point at issue is that Christ Jesus did not say to be a priest or a clergyperson and help the poor, but He recommended to be poor as much as one could.  And Christ Jesus said that if a man became poor, he would be accepted in Heaven where he could enjoy his wealth.

Therefore, people who believe in Christ Jesus should try to be accepted in Heaven where they can enjoy spiritual happiness, so that they should try to be poor and poorer than their neighbors.  In this context, people should be proudly poor and poorer as Christ Jesus and early Christians were.

Indeed, Christianity is a religion for the poor.  A Christian country is a nation where everyone is competing in getting poor and poorer.  And, the poorest man should be a king or a president in such a country.  Every one should sing a song praising poverty.  And, every one should dream to become the poorest man in the world, so that he would be given more rewards in Heaven after his death in this world. 

But, as most of people have been brainwashed by Satan using money as its tool, such people despise and laugh scornfully at the poor.  Indeed, Satan has made people love money and wealth so that they would hate the God, Heaven, Christ Jesus, the Holy Mother, etc. and revere Satan, evil, the hells, etc.     

Therefore, believers of the God, Christ Jesus, the Holly Mother, etc. should fight against Satan who is trying to brainwash people with money and make them revere Satan and evil.  What is more, Satan attacks the believers who hate money, using those brainwashed by money, as it attacked and killed Christ Jesus in this world 2,000 years ago.

So, the order of this world and the spirit world is as follows:

The God => Love => Heaven => the Spirit World => the Material World => the Hells => Hatred and Money => Satan

  

Or simply:

The God => Love => Men <= Hatred and Money <= Satan

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

"where many were gathered together praying" - Psychic or Spiritual Power among the Japanese

                                              Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Psychic or Spiritual Power among the Japanese

Before WWII in Japan, there were some psychics or religious leaders who launched doctrines where Japanese Buddhism and shintoism were mixed based on Japanese spiritualism.  They believed that once emperors of Japan had been the leaders of the world more than 10 thousands ago.  Those super-ancient emperors were traveling the world on board of a kind of UFOs to guide local people in various areas in the world.   Some religious groups established by them are still active today.

In other words, the Japanese imperial family are based on spiritual traditions that are still believed in by some Japanese.

Many psychics in Japan have been linked to Japanese Buddhism and shintoism, although they accept the religious authority of Christ Jesus.  Even some researchers of spiritualism in Japan think that every religion in the world is under the common spirit power.  In this context, they think that Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc. are on a par in the spirit world.  They admit that there is a sole great god who had created this world and this universe, and they think this great god is among traditional gods or deities of Japanese Buddhism and shintoism.

Psychics in Europe and Americas are mostly linked to Christianity like Swedenborg and Allan Kardec, but Japanese psychics are mostly linked to Japanese Buddhism and shintoism.  Therefore, Japan's imperial family whose ultimate authority is based on Japanese shintoism is the potentially religious or spiritual leader of the Japanese people, although Japan's Emperor does not occupy a religious position such as that of the Pope in the Vatican.   

However, as the Pope seems not to have sufficient spiritual power, Japan's Emperor seems not to have such power.  But, in WWII some 80 years ago, most of the Japanese thought that the Empire of Japan should win and defeat the U.S. by super-natural or psychic power of the Emperor.  But, the Empire of Japan surrendered to the U.S., accepting the American style of democracy based on American Christianity.  However, the Japanese people did not abolish cultural or spiritual traditions centered around the imperial family as in past 1700 years, although they became not to be hostile or but became rather friendly to Christianity after WWII.        

Although none requests a U.S. President to have and exercise super-natural or psychic power, it is a little disappointed that the Pope does not have and exercise super-natural or psychic power.  But, sometimes some Japanese psychics or spiritualism researchers tend to dream that Japan's Emperor has and exercises super-natural or psychic power to become the spiritual leader or center of the world like in more than 10 thousands ago according to their belief.

However, the incumbent Emperor of Japan once studied in a university in the U.K.; he seems not to have any power associated with Japanese Buddhism and shintoism.  Yet, unique spiritualism associated with Japanese Buddhism and shintoism seems to still alive in Japan even today.  And, it must be a key to understanding the Japanese unique culture and the human nature of the Japanese.

For your reference, one of the world's oldest clay pots used 16,500 years ago was found in Japan.  So, it is natural to think that some Japanese have psychic or spiritual power that can be traced back more 10 thousands years ago, since today there live in Japan similar people to those who lived in Japan about 17 thousands years ago creating the world's oldest clay pots.

Acts 12, King James Version
11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
